Speaker 2 (00:32):
The most painful moral struggles are not those between good
and evil, but between good and the lesser good.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Talk it out, Mac. I wanted to see what happened
if I hit the Modello cooler right, but it doesn't
have much of a melodic sound. That's the model Modelo cooler.
That's the Gong.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Tung.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Get out big Petros and Money a five seventy LA
Sports live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and a full

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I don't know what the cooler is doing there.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
There's nothing well, I don't know it.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Finger nothing is everything, there's nothing in there.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
We are here for four hours until seven pm. It
is a tired of the last Tuesdays.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Men Tita Desk del Mundo s men Tita Lavedan. And
that brings us to the two Edemano thing. Are we
gonna play the two ed Mono Tuesday ever again? Or
is that like a Vic the brick thing or or
like what are we how are we going to handle that?
How are we gonna call Casey? Well, that's a great question.
I mean, I'm not trying to stop the show. People
(01:40):
the hall.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, and I think they love the elder abuse portion
of the two Well, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
But it's not It wasn't a game we always played
with Vic. It is. You're absolutely right. It has always
not been appearance thing. I'm not saying we do it
right now. I'm not saying we'll never have Vic back
once his severance has figured out to do it. But
I don't know when or if it should. Yeah, I
(02:05):
think do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
For me, I say, I think it is has it
become a VIC segment, you know, like yeah, ultimately what
it morphed into?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Maybe, but you know Tuesday twenty twenty five coming around.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I mean, people my money as you think of the names, yeah,
I mean, but for people might want a little two
ed Mono Tuesday action. It's something we can mull around.
Maybe send a Textoso and let us know what you think.
But we do have a lot going on. The baseball
world is hot. The stove. The stove is so hot.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Steamen like Willy Beaman and David Vasse is out in Dallas,
our Dodger Insider for the MLB Winter meetings with daily reports.
Daniel's Jewelers, one of your great sponsors. Daniels Jewelers twenty
fourth get fifty dollars off any purchase on Christmas Eve
through Christmas Eve. When you mentioned holiday, fifty dollars off
(03:00):
at the Daniels Jewelers in store only.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
At a start money. Now you know for jewelry you
get fifty bucks off.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Fifty bucks is a lot of money. And uh so,
David Vassa will join us in the very next hour
and the rest of the schedule as far as play
by play stuff goes. Friday, the Clippers are taking on
House Nuggets pregame at five.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
That's in Denver. Now, if you're planning on making your
way over the wall.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Nobody's going to to Inglewood. That's a problem. They're not.
They're not getting nobody's they're not getting the uh, the
attendance that they thought they would, right. I guess it
doesn't bother Ballmer since he's so rich, but it is
kind of weird. But you're right. That game is in Denver,
not at Seattle the Clippers, and then Saturday, UCLA basketball
(03:45):
will take on the Arizona's on his owns bare down
tip off at noon on m FI seventy. Mick Kronin
BFF basketball coach of the Petrosen Money Show, Mick Cronin.
As you said, Matt, yes, next segment is going to enjoy.
We will have Mick Cronan on, and then we will
have Mick Cronan on in our final hour again because
(04:06):
he's that great of a guest. And don't forget the
voice of the Bolts Staggered but not down. Chargers take
on the Buccaneers Dog one five on ALT ninety eight seven.
That is the schedule. Hey, Kate's Tim Kates just walked
back in. I would be interested to know what you
(04:27):
think about this, the reinstatement of a two edaminal Tuesday.
At some point, when would that be appropriate? And with
who would we play?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You guys can play with Ronnie. He's sitting right here.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, not today, not today. I think that may be
a vig thing though.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I don't think I could step into VICS, but you
have to.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, but it turned into vic It turned into VICCA. Yeah,
so Ronnie doesn't want to do it, What about you? Tim?
If Ronnie doesn't want to do it, that's fine. We
can find somebody else to do it. But if the people,
if the people demand, you know, what do you say, Tim?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
I think you guys should do it every Tuesday. Why
don't we get somebody from the building to come play
with you guys, like Striker comes down and plays to
her model with you.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I worry that maybe they don't understand me, Yeah, Brad,
like it takes longer for them to sort of figure
out where we're going with it and all their different turns.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Take Okay, it has to be somebody that knows the.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Show like you.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Maybe a listener.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Oh, that's a good idea, Like.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
A listener participation, like when Rogan and Rodney have the
guys call and do the mock play by play Freddy
Freeman is up. Doesn't really matter there, ron.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Things could get sideways. You start bringing listeners on to
compete with us.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Here's the three dual bitch on Garrickole.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I promise not to get frustrated. Just keep it moving.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Fred.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
You know, sometimes you get a listener on and they
start showing you up. People get upset. It's like I'm
the host, you're the stand up comedian. They invite somebody
on stage and next thing you know, their set's better
than yours, and you don't know what to do.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You're saying doesn't really matter.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
There.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
My two end Mono Tuesday skills are so rudimentary, rusty
and dull. I didn't say some listeners gonna come over
here and skate figure eights around me like Lucy and Snoopy.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Let me ask you a question, huh, Don McClain, the
greatest shooter in the history of the pac twelve did
a young Native American boy step up to a papa
shot at a David Buster's in Arcadia, No Banks and
not deliver an l's affected down for years?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
No, you're right, I mean Don, Look who knows if
Don lost confidence that day and that's why he came
back with a nub when he asked Ronnie Fossilo about
the state song of Colorado.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
So think you figured it out there.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
No, I mean I think that.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I think the reel, like maybe some other shows like
to invite listeners on for the sake of competition.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I'm not saying I'm going to bring on some desperate
listener once a week, but I'm gonna say, if there's
somebody walking around here on a Tuesday looking all lack
of d just keep it moving. Fred might pull him
in for two.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
That's kind of what Kate's was saying.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yeah, you said a caller, petros Well, maybe a listener
to Great Sports Time.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
What if somebody called him was like, I'm the greatest
two mono Tuesday or of all time, and I demand
my human rights.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I mean we got we got KFI next to us.
So maybe like you know, Deborah Marx is walking out
of her studio, Deborah Mark bang, Deborah, get in there,
or like Kate said, upstairs, striker or booker are walking
down the hallway.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Debra's very involved right now in choosing an agent for
her son, Woodie the Trojan running men.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I just saw a striker a couple hours ago with
the iHeart.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Well, there you go, oh, Kates, I think they're on
the same time. We are, though.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Kate's humiliated himself today by putting his tail between his legs,
scurrying across the street like the prize hooker and tried
to collect a bunch of raffle tickets.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
You only got four. That's what sucked. Each employee got four.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
D was the iHeartRadio Christmas party where they have karaoke
with all the salespeople.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I'll find another one, but let's just make it official
here real quick.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Here's my number.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Number of the day.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
You said it, p The number of the day is four.
Kate's behavior as part of our show as part of
the Tim Kates Ronnie Fossio Petros Money quartet that deliver
great sports talk every afternoon, creat sports talk, he represents us,
represents us and for him to behave in a manner
that we regularly find so offensive when we go do
(08:36):
our live Petros and Money appearances where we're just here
to have a good time. It's community, it's friends, it's
being around one another, sharing our feelings, our experiences to
find out, oh, this one among us is here for
nothing but their own self satisfaction via free material goods.
(08:59):
That is why they are here. Now, I do want
to I'm you should have seen the prizes, man, we
find it offensive well, and then only to discover that
the prizes are distributed at random. You get a ticket,
the ticket goes into a bucket, You pull the number
out of the bucket, and whichever person is holding that
ticket wins.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Now there's no DIAC twelve prizes and you put your
ticket in the box. Which one you want to go for?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I'll say this, I'll gently push back in. Just disregard
the people that we admonish that come to our shows
and have the grabbing hands that grab all they can
offer themselves. After all, the show is not their job.
The show is like a recreation, right, and then the
(09:45):
prizes should be the gravy, the honeysauce on your biscuit.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Yeah, you get to see your heroes, right, your heroes
of Afternoon Sports talk exactly. And we don't charge the
true prize.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
We don't charge for selfies, we don't charge for cameo
like videos.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Nothing, not a cent Brotherhood, all that is free.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Christmas Time, book your cameos.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
No, So I get that comparison. Matt Kate's. On the
other hand, if.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
You guys would have known the prizes like I did.
You would have gone, Okay, Kates was one.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Now this is tilting when you hear him say that,
Kate was tilting back in my face.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
But just think about it. Yes, the prices are so awesome.
Kates was once laid off by this company.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Yes, and it made they cut. A couple of weeks ago,
we were.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
All at that one meeting where they were like, hey,
if you sell a million dollars, we're.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Gonna put you into five spot.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
We're gonna give you a gift certificate for a famous
start with chee.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Oh, you the chance to win a fa a raffle
ticket to win a gift card.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
So if they getting's good and they're giving something away,
I mean and Kate's has never been one not to
take advantage of anything going on at the iHeartRadio Theater.
If it's Jelly Roll True went over there, it fits.
He gets the family, he got Little Big Town was
there right before COVID went saw the Little Big dats
one of them.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Great, all right, Kate, So what prizes? So I'm not surprised.
Kates is firing off text to us saying how upset
he is. I can't believe I didn't win.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Well, he always feels like somebody more important when well,
here's my thinking was, these prizes were great. There was
twelve to fifteen prizes.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
So are you alleging that Kates was like the guys
at the Thousand Oaks Christmas party that we threw that
screams at the stage after somebody else gets another executive?
What a shock? Another fifth floor a hole. That's how
I felt.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
That is exactly correct. Yep, that is exactly correct. It
wasn't just that he had the misfortune of not winning
any of the prize.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Now I'm coming back around again. This is for the
people of the Sun. They had who won.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
They had prizes ranging from Alter Ego tickets which is
the All ninety eight seven event coming up.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
He feels like we should just be able to ask
Striker for a pair of tickets and he would give
them to us.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
They had a prize pack that featured something with cold
Play and some things you can do with cold Play.
I don't know what it was. Striker won it, though,
It's like, come on, the guy who works at all
waiting to cold Play prize pack. They had tickets like
lower Bowl and parking that's seventy bucks to a Clippers
game and into it Dome.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Seems like they'd be happy to put you up for free.
On the executives that the FMS won that how about
if you're in.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
A different union than most everybody at work, you shouldn't
be in the raffle right point.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
They had a trip overseas, which I left before they
announced that because you guys were texting me, get over here,
get over here.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
What is overseas?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Karao?
Speaker 4 (12:41):
It was the grand prize.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
If it was overseas, was it like over the Sultan Sea?
And it was a trip thrust Phoenix?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
No, No, there was a trip to Vegas that one
of our employee friends here won. Wacko, oh, way to
go wacko disclaimer as disclaimer, you have to use it
before the ind of the year, and it comes with
a satchel of fentanyl.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I'm sorry, I thought you said you had to use
by the end of the year.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
That's that was part of the little bowl riding at the.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Bottom, I says, December tenth, So I got twenty one,
I got three weeks, I got twenty one days.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
There was two fifty five inch flat screen TVs.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Oh okay, oh, I heard somebody one one of them.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Yeah, one of the sales executives who will rename remain nameless.
One one of those. He probably has eight of them
in his mansion, by the way. And the other one
I put in for now, are you coming around.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
To my sales radio mansion, douche.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
They gave away one day off paid to somebody who
want Yeah, you get one to day off paid.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Hey, Buffalo, what one day off paid?
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Take that.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
And the other thing I put three of my tickets
in for was a Freddie Freeman jersey autographed and two
dugout tickets to an upcoming Dodger game in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Okay, so what if you win that I would have
loved to avoid. And what do you think everybody else
is saying? Wait a minute, The guy that hosts Dodgers
on Deck right and at times Dodger Talk is the
one that won the dugout seats and the Freddie Freeman Joe.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
That seems a little weird.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
I didn't win it, though somebody else won who's probably
not even a sports fan.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
You don't even know what you're doing.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I'm gonna go ahead, stupid.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
You know what you're seeing, what you're probably not an
overseas travel trip fan.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
That's why you did.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
We do know you're not going to the salt seat.
One person from a five seventy who won a prize?
Who wodam aust What did he win? A gas card?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I thought he? I thought he won a a goggle?
That was just one goggle because here's a telescope one.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
I guess it was the MC the entire event.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Who boy, he was there, Tim Conway, junior ding dog,
Tim Gonway.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Conway was up all night doing fire coverage on K five. Uh,
Dave Wiese was the MC.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Okay, he's got he's got a little bit of a
wacky crazy Hey everybody else?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
I guess who on the TV?
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Yeah, he took for after they had an opening act.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
It reminds me of that family feud guy that ended
it all. We should be all happy and then we
should be all happy and they go off stage all
with the tears.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
That's a good call because wasn't that guy's stand up comic.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I'm a shell of a man. This is all an act.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
While the food was being served from our friends at
Rock and Bruise, I heard you went over there and we're.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Able to to uh to steal some food for yourself.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
I saw Katie by the way from Rocky roofs Loki
a big hug. But there was a warm up act.
There was a comedian who apparently she works at one
O three point five upstairs on the fifth floor, and
she started off very team, you know, very like you
know Villanilla.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
And nobody nobody's reacting and she's like f by.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
By the end of the routine, she's talking about you know,
relations she had on a trip down in Cabo, like
last comment.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Relation. Okay, yeah, that's on my way down to Cobo
and I saw this guy and I got real honey.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
So wait, it's just a snorkeling instructors.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
He said, who's for scoop? I'm going down.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Really, you guys missed it. What a great time over
at the iHeart but you didn't win an didn't win anything.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
And you're upset about that.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I was hoping to win something, Matt. Here's the thing
I figured, with everything that's happening here in the last month,
numbers wise, there's less people.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Okay, well how many people were there? Because I heard
the line for the buffet was quite long.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Yeah, it was like fifteen people, but it moved pretty quickly.
I'd say there was one hundred and twenty five people.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
May kay for how many prizes? Fifteen?
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Let's say fifteen prizes. Okay, so you got a ten
percent chance? Basically, yeah, that's pretty good odds is it?
One in ten nine people don't win? One does well
considering one at nine?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Adam Oslin got a gas cart and Tim Kates is
walking out of there with nothing but his boots oh
air in his hand.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
I used to work at a guest that's Ralph Kates,
and no, I wont a gas car.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
I was hoping to win those Dodger tickets.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
That would have been said, I work.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
For the Dodgers. They're giving me a ring for the
World Series. Check this out for a dugout seats one means.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
At work, somebody what a Barri's gift card, right for
a lot of money?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
For a lot of money.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Yeah, it turns out this person works on the fifth
floor in finances. Probably doesn't need that money.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
You said you don't think they deserve Do you think
they should have had a tiered system, because this feels
like somebody coming up to me and saying what about
the early people? Yeah, you know I got here and
I was early, and you're pulling these tickets randomly instead
of fixing the draw. It feels like, and now I'm upset.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Kate's going behind wacko and being like, your stake's bigger
than mine.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Right, I can relate now with the early people? What
about us? What about the fourth fourth people? What about us?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
We get nothing Kates, and they regularly book these things
during our show. So I'm just appreciative that they made
it at eleven thirty. So if we had chosen to do
it to end, we did not choose to. But did
we chose not to?
Speaker 4 (17:49):
They had booze by the way, they were serving mixed drinks.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
And well, how you think those people got the shot
of courage to go up there and sing Last Christmas?
I gave you my heart very next day.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
I think it's worth doing. I know you hate when
I do it, but I do think it's worth doing.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Don't do it?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Why not? I think we should. I think people should hear.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Kates took secret videos. I don't think we should play them.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I think we should play Why not?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Because I think it's wrong.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
They were not meant for air, says who.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
All I'm saying is the iHeart Christmas party. I hope
no one can hear that? Can anybody hear that?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Running?
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Damn it?
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Beautiful fingers up?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yep, last crass mess I gave you the dude in
a suit looked a little like, Hey, Tim, did you
put cologne on for the plane? Ah? Yeah, Colonne cake
Kenny had been sneezing in here for the last ten minutes.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
All right, pipe down, rusty.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Cologne, karaoke Kates. I got my haircut, Trombone, Ronny.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
I got my hair cut, and my guy who cuts
my hair, Elvis, actually sprayed some colone on me when
he got my spray coloone in your head?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, the back of my Elvis.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Hey, do be a favorite?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Can you please spring some.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Cloning in the back of my head?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I love your party. I like you, Tim, I always
have always will. You're gonna love bit tender and go
for Christmas, and Elvis gonna spray some special colone on
the back of your big bullet hand. Damn Tim, Why
did it have to be? Really? Okay? Joe? I appreciate
the cut, but did you did sing? I do think
(19:25):
I honestly, do think if there's one thing we come
out of this conversation with, I think Matt's a little
bit right about you. Kate's If there's another thing, I
think somebody's got to do a wellness check on Dave
Wee after it's hose point, don't go full combs. I
felt like such an empty shell. But I was up
there hosting the Christmas party.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
It's nice to know we all have something in common
in the building because everybody was just mocking Weeze upon
the stairs.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Oh, shut up, We'll see that's not okay. That's a
tough job. Okay, you know, being the MC of a
company Christmas party where people are disgruntled because they're not
winning prizes that they believe right, they deserve to win, right,
And you're the one that's got to pull the number.
And every time you do, there's one person that's happy
on one hundred and twenty four that aren't.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I hope he doesn't get the curse of Jay Leno.
Oh you spend all that time hosting and then something
blows up in your face and then you fall down,
head all.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Down a hill. The other side of your face sid Jay.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Leno in here. I was like, God, damn, it's a

Speaker 4 (20:44):
They had a new Kid on the Block prize pack.

Speaker 6 (22:03):
UCLA went up to Eugene, just like Daffy Duck get
his bill shot off in the Looney Tunes.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
He spins around his head when he takes that shot.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Blew the bill right off Daffy's face and then came
back down. And now crazy to say it, but it
is at a conference game between UCLA and the Wildcats,
our dear friend, the Great Mick Cronin, UCLA head coach.
They're number twenty four in the poll, eight and one overall,
two and zero in the Big Ten. They are going
(22:38):
to Phoenix. By the time I'd get to Phoenix, She's
gonna be waking up knowing that I've left her on
in southern California to Toyota do this celebrity hotline. It
is Mick cronin. What's cracking? Coach? How are you?
Speaker 5 (22:53):
You had me thinking about al Pacino and heat right there?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Uh well, coach, you know it is interesting though, I mean,
there's so much change going on and it's kind of
like makes your eyes spin like a slot machine in
the world of college sports. But how important is it
to players on every year if you're u c l A,
or maybe it's not. Is this just something that's happening,
what's going on?
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Well, we're playing them for financial reasons, but also look,
uh well hey, you know that you guys like having
me on some of the actually come on here and
tell the damn truth. I mean, you know, let's just
you know, I mean, you can handle the truth. So
let's be honest. We're playing for financial reasons. Nil game
(23:43):
for both of us. And that's that now at u
c l A. If you're the coach at U c
l A, look you got to play uh you know,
top top tier non league games. You know, whether it's
this year, it's North Carolina, it's been you know, can
you know every year you got you gotta play some games,
(24:04):
man Villanova. You know, Jay Wright came out when they
were final fourteen and top five, So you got to
try to make sure you're in some of those games
every year. And that's just part of the part of
the UCLA brand. You're you know, you're not a blue blood.
You're not playing Kentucky and uh you know Carolina and
Arizona see of teams like that. You know, that's why
(24:25):
kids want those games as well. You know the players
would much rather play Arizona than Utah Tech. Let's be honest.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
And it's a sweet run that we're in the midst
of before the end of the year. You just said it,
Coach Arizona, North Carolina, Gone Zaga. Gonna be a lot
of fun as we wrap up twenty twenty four. As
peaking a test, I get sidetracked easily. And when you
mentioned heat, my wheels just immediately started spinning. Have you
ever if you are a fan of the film and
(24:54):
the iconic scene, have you ever made your way out here,
just maybe two blocks up the road from where we're
talking right now, out of the Bob's Big Boy in
Burbank where they filmed The.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
Boy, Come on, come on, Matt, I come.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
On, all right.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
You know, you know I'm a look back to the
day it was. I dreamt that it was going to
be Sisco, Ebert and Crony.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
All right, I'm a movie guy.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
I don't want Yeah, I don't watch television.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I'm a movie guy.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
I think you know my great U C l a
legendary operations manager in this thirty second year Doug Ericson,
I used to drive Coach Wooden around, uh, slept on
Steve Lavin's floor coach wouldn't called him the floor sleeper.
When I got here, he found out it was my
first summer, he said, he found out I was a
movie guy. We got in the car and we went everywhere,
(25:47):
you know, La landmarks. You know, my daughter was still
on our way here.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
So on a day where I.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Wasn't recruiting or trying to find a new place to
live Sunday, we get in the car and see, you know,
we see it all, see it all, you know, the shootout,
saying the whole thing, nothing like the LA You got
a LA movie. Uh you got to go to the sites, right,
you got to go to Daniel Larusso's apartment.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yes, yes, you do, yes, you do. And look at
that busted up pool and wonder how that guy had
a job as a caretaker when the pool was in
such bad shape.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
And Bagi somebody bought his house and they they knocked
it down in the backyard. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
They did a beautiful job, did a beautiful job with
the wood.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yes, yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
But you know, you know what, guys, while we're on
telling the truth, here's what I want, Lou was you know,
there was a big commitment in basketball and also in baseball, right,
Juan Soto sign At what point are we But what
point are we going to mandate that the college kids
stopped doing the interviews and talk about what they picked
(26:57):
the school because they liked the co sty bonded with
the coach. Let's you know, like Juan Photo's not saying
he bonded with the manager. He may not even know
who the hell the manager of the Mets is. It's possible.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
A lot of this school for money.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
And it's okay, guys, a lot of this it's okay.
But at some point, let's let's do it. Let's start
to stop with the you know, I really like coach
Cronin and what he showed me on film. Let's let's
just go with the trip.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Can we also stop with like the five paragraph This
is God's plan, this is why I'm leaving South Alabama.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, enough enough. Look, God, God's not concerned
with where you go to school. Okay, let's just be honest.
You know, you know, no matter what God you believe in,
I think he's got other things he's worried about.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
He's a state school guy. God is always he.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
God doesn't like it if we if we line up,
if we line up with too many wide receivers, God
doesn't like it. He wants us a pack of informs
the time.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Yeah, let's just yeah, let's just play place. Let's just
play ball and call it as it is.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
It changes a little bit of the way that I
call football games for sure, at the college level, now
that the guys are getting paid, I mean.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
We don't doesn't really a little bit. And I know
you called, yeah, you call games. And I got to
ask you this because I heard my friend Fran for
Scilly does a big twelve yeah for the four Letter Network.
So the other day I'm in the hotel and he's
calling the game, and it was Kansas okay, And he said,
(28:34):
the guy's got to make that shot. He's paid, he's
won for seven he's paid to make shots. He's got
to make that. And that's the first time I heard
an announcers, you know, like it was and I don't look,
it went out in the portal. They got this kid.
He was a high ticket item player in the portal,
you know, you know, supposedly a seven figure player, so
(28:57):
you know, but that you know, Look, that's just the
way it is.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
You know.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
I mean, if you're pett you go out. If you right,
you signed big for big money and free agency and
you struggle, the home crowd is going to be on you.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Well, does it change the way you coach? I mean
it's you've coached the same way I would imagine your
entire career. Does it change the way you coach the
young guys?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
No, not at all.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
I think you still got to care about guy guys
as people. And I try to teach my guys a
fool and his money will soon part ways, you know,
so uh and without and if you don't learn discipline,
you'll end up broke no matter what you got. So
I try to teach them life skills still, and it's
probably even more important. You know, that way they don't
(29:42):
blow whatever they're getting, right, got to learn you got
to learn the most important word in the dictionary when
you earn your money is no. Say no to the
car dealer, say no to the clothes here, and say
no to the jeweler, and say no to your family members.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Now I don't know, Yeah, coach, I would love to again.
Now now I'm sidetracked a little bit thinking about it,
because look, if you're if you're able, if you're Kansas
and you can seven figures for the nation's you know,
best score outside, you're fine. But let's just say, like,
do you do you have relationship? I'm trying to think
(30:20):
the best way to ask this. With some of these
schools that you're not recruiting kids out of high school,
you're not developing them like you used to. Do you
have favorite coaches that you would then say, hey, take
this kid, I know how you're going to coach them up,
and I'm gonna be ready for him in two years.
And are those programs comfortable doing that? Like, look, I'm
just gonna this is how I have to coach my
(30:40):
program and try to get these kids, and then there
is maybe a connection with with you and certain coaches
and kids that you otherwise might have recruited and had
patients with.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
I would absolutely love that, and in serious you couldn't
be more on the money. Okay. The problem is if
a guy's good enough that I'm kind of looking at
him at UCLA, and you're supposedly a blue blooded type school,
it's going to be really hard for me to convince
(31:11):
him and even pay him from our collective to go
to UC Irvine and play for Russell Turner, who's as
good a coach as anybody.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
In America period.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
I think they're undefeated. Again, I don't know anybody on
his team. I don't need to know. Every year he wins,
he's like Mike Tomlin, Okay, I mean, it's just the
way he just wins. So I would love to send
guys to play for him and so I could get
him back. Absolutely love it. But the problem is that
type you know, that player would he would take that
(31:45):
the wrong way, you know, like, you know, he would
probably like, you know, hey, man, you know, you know,
screws you. I'm gonna go play for you know, somebody else.
You know San Diego State or you know somebody like that.
You know, I mean, it's just be hard to get
a guy. I would love to do it. In theory,
(32:06):
it'd be a great thing to do, but it's just
I think it'd be hard hard to accomplish. I mean, look,
he and I have even talked about it. This coach
Turner and I've actually talked about it. But you know,
and he would he gets it. I mean, look at
that level. My former assistant Michael Lewis, head coach at
Ball State. His best players is six ' nine Basher
(32:29):
Jahad starts for Arizona State, their best team in many years,
played two years at Ball State, got a bunch of
money to go to Arizona State. That's just the way
it is, you know, and he knows that at Ball
State that's going to happen to him. But sure, I
would say to your point, uh, if you could get
transfers from good coaches, it's definitely just like getting a
(32:52):
high school player.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
You know.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Look, it's no secret that like my younger players are
if you just look. Okay, I got two Harvard Westlake freshmen.
I got a Corona Centennial freshman. Okay, coach Giles coach
for Bibo, two of the best there is in California
period to the best there is in high school period. Okay,
(33:17):
you know Dylan Andrews went to win where Colin Poff
was a great coach. He moved up north. You know,
Sebastian Mac played for Jeff Kaufman at Coronado, who also
coached Pop Pop Isaacs, who also coached Jaydon Hardy the
Dallas Mavericks. So yeah, you want to try to RecA,
I do believe you. You know, you want to try
to get guys that have been taught basketball and taught
(33:40):
winning basketball. I think it's it definitely matters the.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Great mccrona knows about winning basketball. Saturday, Ucla is they're ranked.
They're taking them on Arizona. It's a that IL game,
twelve o'clock on a five seventy on IL game. Baby,
great matchup. In the win over Oregon on Sunday, it
felt like defensively your guys were playing better, maybe a
little bit more the way you wanted them to play
up there.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
But we played great for thirty eight thirty seven and
a half minutes. I mean we're up nine with three
to play, and probably have gotten to where I am
and coaching because teams don't make mistakes, especially late in
the game. You know, we don't. I think the first
thing you got to learn in coaching, if you've got
a job, I'd say you asked me my advice, I'd say,
(34:26):
you got to teach your team how to how to
not beat themselves, okay, how to be solid, how to
be smart make somebody beat you. And we tried to
get literally, we gave the game away a couple of times.
It's hard to win a game three times, and I
think we won that game three times. So for thirty
(34:47):
seven and a half minutes, we were great. A team
that's got major wins on the road, sold out crowd.
It couldn't have just couldn't have been more proud of it. It
was a shame most gave it away. Basketball God saved this.
I think I had been beat on ten straight buzzer
shots without hitting one, and there's been ten losses on
(35:11):
the buzzer before since I had won one at the buzzer.
It's really my brother sent me that, so it was
about time, you know, But we tried to give it away.
So it's a learning opportunity, you know, just late in
the game. A lot of things on film for us
to really clean up in a late game situation. But again,
(35:31):
you know, some guys that haven't played for us and
our coaching staff and how to really win is really
really important as far as just not you know, blocking
out at a foul line or out of bounds defense
underneath thrown basket. Just inexcusable errors that we got to
clean up. But a huge win, to your point, huge win.
(35:52):
I don't know if anybody besides us has a top
twenty win on the road in college basketball. People have
neutral sight wins, right, but I don't know about a
road win.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Last thing for you, coach, because you love coming on
and we don't just discuss basketball, a breadth of topics
will be broached. So just real quick, because you are
playing North Carolina on the twenty first, your thoughts of
of Bill Belichick may be starting to make that thing
a football school if he takes that get.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Four hundred page managed.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
Well, here's what I would say. First of all, I
think what an advantage for the kids that he would coach,
I mean, what an advantage to be able to learn?
I mean, to be him to be your coach? Are
you kidding me? I mean, what a huge advantage. Secondly,
on his side, I'm obviously I couldn't speak for guys
(36:45):
got more rings than I have fingers on one hand,
but the fact that it is more recruiting is more
transactional than relationship. Okay, recruiting forever was your relationships, and
obviously building relationships takes time, you have to be present
at the exchange. And now it's it's way more transactional
(37:11):
to a point where it's almost professional. So he doesn't
have to dive in and spend all his time at
the North Carolina High School and Florida High School Coaches
Association conventions because you're just you know, just it's about
who you gonna pay, how much you're gonna pay him, right,
So I think, you know, for a guy like him, not,
(37:34):
you know, it would make that that would be the
reason a pro guy would have no interest in a
college job, like you know, the constant x external work
you have to do instead of just coach football where
I think he could. I mean, you still got to
do with donors and things like that to an extent,
(37:55):
but it's much more like a pro job now. Especially
they raised the NIOW money for him. He don't have
to go spend all his time doing it. But man,
what an advantage if I was again, if I was
a player and I wanted to make long money, and
I would choose the coaches that could make me the
best and not focus on the NIO money. If I,
(38:17):
if I was going for the long money, you get
a chance to play for a guy like him, huge,
huge advantage.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
But he still didn't get to turn on sunset to
drive to work like Mick Crownin. Yeah that's true.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
You're damn right.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Yeah, you're turning left on sunset.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
UCLA, Arizona, Phoenix, kip off at noon on a five seventy.
We love your coach, Good luck and keep fighting a
good fight. We'll talk soon.
Speaker 5 (38:41):
You've got it. I gotta go watch he Yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Gotta go watch hey, free country brother. Now, I gotta
go get me a big boy combo for.
Speaker 5 (38:47):
The two hundred times. Thank you, buddy, Fore you guys.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Here he goes Mick Crowning, and we'll be right back.
How do you know that? Well, spent all the hour.
Gotta come back.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Los Angeles. You're a generous bunch.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Why, thank you?
Speaker 3 (39:11):
I pride myself on thinking of others.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
You handed out els all season long to the Giants
and Padres.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Don't forget the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Now we need your help for the annual season of giving.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Will anyone think of the children?
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Oh, we're raising money to donate over ten thousand toys
at the Dreamland event.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Big thanking him, Cronin, he is the best. Whatever happened
to the attempted murder of the Big Boy statue?
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Are the one in Downey? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Did they ever catch the perpetrator?
Speaker 5 (39:42):
That?
Speaker 2 (39:43):
No, it cut off half the head, cut off half
the head. It's been repaired. But the purp was the
purp ever apprehended? I don't, but I don't know. Maybe
the search continues. Yeah, it's possible that that purp remains
at large.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
It's possible. And you know what, if he wants a meal,
you gotta go to Burger King. They don't snitch, don't snitch. Well,
thank you for listening, everybody. We've got a show coming
up on Thursday, December nineteenth. A week from Thursday, just
a two to four thirty petros and money gift exchange
(40:18):
at the BJS in West Covina. All of you San
Gabriel Valley types are required to be there.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
McK cronin, our guest will be coaching his UCLA team
in Phoenix against the Wildcats Arizona neutral site, tip off
at noon, neutral site. Better than McHale nil on Am
five seventy. It's an nil game. He's telling the truth.
Money and the LA Chargers who had to wear that
l like I wore the buddy that Mick crowned threw
(40:49):
my way in the last segment.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
I do believe we both wore the buddy at the
end though.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Kickoff at one twenty five for the Chargers on Sunday
against the Buccaneers Alte eight seven, so we all look
forward to that as well.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
I think in advanced age, buddy becomes a little more tolerable.
The older folks tend to use the word buddy a
little bit more than the younger folks. Younger folks it
is a term of derision, but I think older folks
are like, it's my pal, that's my buddy over there.
(41:23):
Buddy was there with a couple buddies.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Well, Matt, speaking of derision, some torches have been lit,
some pitchforks have been sharpened, they're coming for Kate's.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
Line brought to you by your sokel Toyota dealers.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
We make it easy, Petris. Do you think that Mick
was listening to the segment when Kate's was whining like
a little hoe about losing to other people for things
he doesn't even need, and said to himself, Man, this
Tim Kates guy is just a pure hope, because I
sure as hell did baby asked Kates give him a
little rattle and a bump of coke, and then he
(41:59):
put a little picture of a key. Some Kates could
use the key to scoop the coke into his nose.
Speaker 3 (42:06):
Thank you, sir, What do you say? Give him a
baby bottle and some coke.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Give him a rattle and a bump, and next to
bump he put a little key. Scoop the scoop that coke.
That's good. That's a good text us. And this one,
Matt really comes over the top. You know, any of
us complain about anything, It's like, oh, you know, they're
starving children, people in Malibu without homes, students of Pepperdine
with no power and internet, no nothing. But Tim Kates
(42:33):
didn't win a TV or a gift card certified Dill
do do for shame for shame?
Speaker 3 (42:39):
Yeah, kates for shame.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
For Shane.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
I'm having flashbacks, man, I'm freaking out over.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
Here for shame for shame. Now they're coming after you, Matt.
Would Matt say that the Chiefs Chargers sweep was a
competitive sweep? Hashtag losers?
Speaker 3 (42:57):
It's very competitive. You're talking about a for the division
at the end of the game. Game before that, you
got no Joe Olt, you got no over Sean Slater. Yeah,
I remember that on one leg.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Yeah. And then the deal.
Speaker 3 (43:08):
James spended the deal with the devil. Yeah, clearly that
was part of the deal. The devil that made the
deal was like, hey, Chiefs, watch this. Tackles gone, Derwin suspended,
Herbert Ankle, go on out there and do your thing.
Oh you could only win by seventeen ten. It's a
good thing I did all those things for you since
you made that deal. So competitive sweep, most definitely, And
(43:28):
maybe it's not a sweep after all. Ius you how
hard it is to beat a team three times in
the same season. Very difficult game near impossible. That's what
the Washington generals used to say. It's really hard to
lose twenty times in the same team. But we're gonna
take on the Globetrotters again to night. This is going
to be our night.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
Pee. I heard the curse talk on the podcast and
Cam confirm that the devil reached out to a thirteen
year old six foot one Andy Reid in nineteen seventy
one the punt pass and kick competition and whispered.
Speaker 7 (43:57):
Mister, and I would give you eternal victories as the
head coach of Kansas City in fifty years.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
If you agree to this deal, you will toil in.
Speaker 7 (44:07):
The city of Philadelphia coming close to such glory, but
you will have a quarterback vomit during the Super Bowl
and you will lose.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
I will give you minor family complications.
Speaker 7 (44:18):
Minor these will continue in Kansas City, but I will
deliver you a desperate city police force.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
And friendly news media who will turn a blind eye
at such complications.
Speaker 7 (44:30):
In exchange, I would deliver you a quarterback who sits
at my right hand, and a bounty of all.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
You can eat barbecue. Is it a deal.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
I don't know what deal that they made.
Speaker 3 (44:42):
Oh, it's a heck of a deal.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
It is something to see each and every week.
Speaker 3 (44:46):
Cars sounds like it was a deal. Yeah, I'll take
that deal a thirteen year old Andy Reid, Do I
still get to win this up on passing kick with
the kids that are like up to my.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
Boots, loose feeless, That's what I called my boots, little
big Town. It was a friendly buddy and you could
hear an ad mixed voice. Yes, does that make it easier?
Speaker 3 (45:09):
I think it does. I think it's not a yeah,
all right, buddy. It wasn't that. It was we're pals,
We're buds. We could go on a buddy trip when
it comes to my spot in Park City, sit in
the hot tub, smoke some cigars and talk about what
a great hang this is. You're my buddy. Appropriate. We're
(45:30):
not going to Georgia super Bowls in New Orleans this
year or maybe Tampa.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Well, we'll be back.
Speaker 3 (45:36):

Finger nothing is everything, there's nothing in there.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
We are here for four hours until seven pm. It
is a tired of the last Tuesdays.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Men Tita Desk del Mundo s men Tita Lavedan. And
that brings us to the two Edemano thing. Are we
gonna play the two ed Mono Tuesday ever again? Or
is that like a Vic the brick thing or or
like what are we how are we going to handle that?
How are we gonna call Casey? Well, that's a great question.
I mean, I'm not trying to stop the show. People
(01:40):
the hall.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, and I think they love the elder abuse portion
of the two Well, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
But it's not It wasn't a game we always played
with Vic. It is. You're absolutely right. It has always
not been appearance thing. I'm not saying we do it
right now. I'm not saying we'll never have Vic back
once his severance has figured out to do it. But
I don't know when or if it should. Yeah, I
(02:05):
think do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
For me, I say, I think it is has it
become a VIC segment, you know, like yeah, ultimately what
it morphed into?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Maybe, but you know Tuesday twenty twenty five coming around.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I mean, people my money as you think of the names, yeah,
I mean, but for people might want a little two
ed Mono Tuesday action. It's something we can mull around.
Maybe send a Textoso and let us know what you think.
But we do have a lot going on. The baseball
world is hot. The stove. The stove is so hot.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Steamen like Willy Beaman and David Vasse is out in Dallas,
our Dodger Insider for the MLB Winter meetings with daily reports.
Daniel's Jewelers, one of your great sponsors. Daniels Jewelers twenty
fourth get fifty dollars off any purchase on Christmas Eve
through Christmas Eve. When you mentioned holiday, fifty dollars off
(03:00):
at the Daniels Jewelers in store only.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
At a start money. Now you know for jewelry you
get fifty bucks off.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Fifty bucks is a lot of money. And uh so,
David Vassa will join us in the very next hour
and the rest of the schedule as far as play
by play stuff goes. Friday, the Clippers are taking on
House Nuggets pregame at five.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
That's in Denver. Now, if you're planning on making your
way over the wall.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Nobody's going to to Inglewood. That's a problem. They're not.
They're not getting nobody's they're not getting the uh, the
attendance that they thought they would, right. I guess it
doesn't bother Ballmer since he's so rich, but it is
kind of weird. But you're right. That game is in Denver,
not at Seattle the Clippers, and then Saturday, UCLA basketball
(03:45):
will take on the Arizona's on his owns bare down
tip off at noon on m FI seventy. Mick Kronin
BFF basketball coach of the Petrosen Money Show, Mick Cronin.
As you said, Matt, yes, next segment is going to enjoy.
We will have Mick Cronan on, and then we will
have Mick Cronan on in our final hour again because
(04:06):
he's that great of a guest. And don't forget the
voice of the Bolts Staggered but not down. Chargers take
on the Buccaneers Dog one five on ALT ninety eight seven.
That is the schedule. Hey, Kate's Tim Kates just walked
back in. I would be interested to know what you
(04:27):
think about this, the reinstatement of a two edaminal Tuesday.
At some point, when would that be appropriate? And with
who would we play?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You guys can play with Ronnie. He's sitting right here.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, not today, not today. I think that may be
a vig thing though.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I don't think I could step into VICS, but you
have to.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, but it turned into vic It turned into VICCA. Yeah,
so Ronnie doesn't want to do it, What about you? Tim?
If Ronnie doesn't want to do it, that's fine. We
can find somebody else to do it. But if the people,
if the people demand, you know, what do you say, Tim?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
I think you guys should do it every Tuesday. Why
don't we get somebody from the building to come play
with you guys, like Striker comes down and plays to
her model with you.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I worry that maybe they don't understand me, Yeah, Brad,
like it takes longer for them to sort of figure
out where we're going with it and all their different turns.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Take Okay, it has to be somebody that knows the.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Show like you.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Maybe a listener.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Oh, that's a good idea, Like.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
A listener participation, like when Rogan and Rodney have the
guys call and do the mock play by play Freddy
Freeman is up. Doesn't really matter there, ron.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Things could get sideways. You start bringing listeners on to
compete with us.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Here's the three dual bitch on Garrickole.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I promise not to get frustrated. Just keep it moving.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Fred.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
You know, sometimes you get a listener on and they
start showing you up. People get upset. It's like I'm
the host, you're the stand up comedian. They invite somebody
on stage and next thing you know, their set's better
than yours, and you don't know what to do.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You're saying doesn't really matter.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
There.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
My two end Mono Tuesday skills are so rudimentary, rusty
and dull. I didn't say some listeners gonna come over
here and skate figure eights around me like Lucy and Snoopy.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Let me ask you a question, huh, Don McClain, the
greatest shooter in the history of the pac twelve did
a young Native American boy step up to a papa
shot at a David Buster's in Arcadia, No Banks and
not deliver an l's affected down for years?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
No, you're right, I mean Don, Look who knows if
Don lost confidence that day and that's why he came
back with a nub when he asked Ronnie Fossilo about
the state song of Colorado.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
So think you figured it out there.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
No, I mean I think that.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I think the reel, like maybe some other shows like
to invite listeners on for the sake of competition.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I'm not saying I'm going to bring on some desperate
listener once a week, but I'm gonna say, if there's
somebody walking around here on a Tuesday looking all lack
of d just keep it moving. Fred might pull him
in for two.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
That's kind of what Kate's was saying.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yeah, you said a caller, petros Well, maybe a listener
to Great Sports Time.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
What if somebody called him was like, I'm the greatest
two mono Tuesday or of all time, and I demand
my human rights.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I mean we got we got KFI next to us.
So maybe like you know, Deborah Marx is walking out
of her studio, Deborah Mark bang, Deborah, get in there,
or like Kate said, upstairs, striker or booker are walking
down the hallway.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Debra's very involved right now in choosing an agent for
her son, Woodie the Trojan running men.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I just saw a striker a couple hours ago with
the iHeart.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Well, there you go, oh, Kates, I think they're on
the same time. We are, though.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Kate's humiliated himself today by putting his tail between his legs,
scurrying across the street like the prize hooker and tried
to collect a bunch of raffle tickets.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
You only got four. That's what sucked. Each employee got four.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
D was the iHeartRadio Christmas party where they have karaoke
with all the salespeople.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I'll find another one, but let's just make it official
here real quick.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Here's my number.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Number of the day.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
You said it, p The number of the day is four.
Kate's behavior as part of our show as part of
the Tim Kates Ronnie Fossio Petros Money quartet that deliver
great sports talk every afternoon, creat sports talk, he represents us,
represents us and for him to behave in a manner
that we regularly find so offensive when we go do
(08:36):
our live Petros and Money appearances where we're just here
to have a good time. It's community, it's friends, it's
being around one another, sharing our feelings, our experiences to
find out, oh, this one among us is here for
nothing but their own self satisfaction via free material goods.
(08:59):
That is why they are here. Now, I do want
to I'm you should have seen the prizes, man, we
find it offensive well, and then only to discover that
the prizes are distributed at random. You get a ticket,
the ticket goes into a bucket, You pull the number
out of the bucket, and whichever person is holding that
ticket wins.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Now there's no DIAC twelve prizes and you put your
ticket in the box. Which one you want to go for?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I'll say this, I'll gently push back in. Just disregard
the people that we admonish that come to our shows
and have the grabbing hands that grab all they can
offer themselves. After all, the show is not their job.
The show is like a recreation, right, and then the
(09:45):
prizes should be the gravy, the honeysauce on your biscuit.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Yeah, you get to see your heroes, right, your heroes
of Afternoon Sports talk exactly. And we don't charge the
true prize.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
We don't charge for selfies, we don't charge for cameo
like videos.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Nothing, not a cent Brotherhood, all that is free.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Christmas Time, book your cameos.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
No, So I get that comparison. Matt Kate's. On the
other hand, if.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
You guys would have known the prizes like I did.
You would have gone, Okay, Kates was one.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Now this is tilting when you hear him say that,
Kate was tilting back in my face.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
But just think about it. Yes, the prices are so awesome.
Kates was once laid off by this company.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Yes, and it made they cut. A couple of weeks ago,
we were.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
All at that one meeting where they were like, hey,
if you sell a million dollars, we're.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Gonna put you into five spot.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
We're gonna give you a gift certificate for a famous
start with chee.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Oh, you the chance to win a fa a raffle
ticket to win a gift card.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
So if they getting's good and they're giving something away,
I mean and Kate's has never been one not to
take advantage of anything going on at the iHeartRadio Theater.
If it's Jelly Roll True went over there, it fits.
He gets the family, he got Little Big Town was
there right before COVID went saw the Little Big dats
one of them.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Great, all right, Kate, So what prizes? So I'm not surprised.
Kates is firing off text to us saying how upset
he is. I can't believe I didn't win.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Well, he always feels like somebody more important when well,
here's my thinking was, these prizes were great. There was
twelve to fifteen prizes.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
So are you alleging that Kates was like the guys
at the Thousand Oaks Christmas party that we threw that
screams at the stage after somebody else gets another executive?
What a shock? Another fifth floor a hole. That's how
I felt.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
That is exactly correct. Yep, that is exactly correct. It
wasn't just that he had the misfortune of not winning
any of the prize.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Now I'm coming back around again. This is for the
people of the Sun. They had who won.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
They had prizes ranging from Alter Ego tickets which is
the All ninety eight seven event coming up.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
He feels like we should just be able to ask
Striker for a pair of tickets and he would give
them to us.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
They had a prize pack that featured something with cold
Play and some things you can do with cold Play.
I don't know what it was. Striker won it, though,
It's like, come on, the guy who works at all
waiting to cold Play prize pack. They had tickets like
lower Bowl and parking that's seventy bucks to a Clippers
game and into it Dome.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Seems like they'd be happy to put you up for free.
On the executives that the FMS won that how about
if you're in.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
A different union than most everybody at work, you shouldn't
be in the raffle right point.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
They had a trip overseas, which I left before they
announced that because you guys were texting me, get over here,
get over here.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
What is overseas?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Karao?
Speaker 4 (12:41):
It was the grand prize.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
If it was overseas, was it like over the Sultan Sea?
And it was a trip thrust Phoenix?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
No, No, there was a trip to Vegas that one
of our employee friends here won. Wacko, oh, way to
go wacko disclaimer as disclaimer, you have to use it
before the ind of the year, and it comes with
a satchel of fentanyl.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I'm sorry, I thought you said you had to use
by the end of the year.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
That's that was part of the little bowl riding at the.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Bottom, I says, December tenth, So I got twenty one,
I got three weeks, I got twenty one days.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
There was two fifty five inch flat screen TVs.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Oh okay, oh, I heard somebody one one of them.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Yeah, one of the sales executives who will rename remain nameless.
One one of those. He probably has eight of them
in his mansion, by the way. And the other one
I put in for now, are you coming around.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
To my sales radio mansion, douche.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
They gave away one day off paid to somebody who
want Yeah, you get one to day off paid.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Hey, Buffalo, what one day off paid?
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Take that.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
And the other thing I put three of my tickets
in for was a Freddie Freeman jersey autographed and two
dugout tickets to an upcoming Dodger game in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Okay, so what if you win that I would have
loved to avoid. And what do you think everybody else
is saying? Wait a minute, The guy that hosts Dodgers
on Deck right and at times Dodger Talk is the
one that won the dugout seats and the Freddie Freeman Joe.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
That seems a little weird.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
I didn't win it, though somebody else won who's probably
not even a sports fan.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
You don't even know what you're doing.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I'm gonna go ahead, stupid.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
You know what you're seeing, what you're probably not an
overseas travel trip fan.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
That's why you did.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
We do know you're not going to the salt seat.
One person from a five seventy who won a prize?
Who wodam aust What did he win? A gas card?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I thought he? I thought he won a a goggle?
That was just one goggle because here's a telescope one.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
I guess it was the MC the entire event.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Who boy, he was there, Tim Conway, junior ding dog,
Tim Gonway.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Conway was up all night doing fire coverage on K five. Uh,
Dave Wiese was the MC.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Okay, he's got he's got a little bit of a
wacky crazy Hey everybody else?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
I guess who on the TV?
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Yeah, he took for after they had an opening act.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
It reminds me of that family feud guy that ended
it all. We should be all happy and then we
should be all happy and they go off stage all
with the tears.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
That's a good call because wasn't that guy's stand up comic.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I'm a shell of a man. This is all an act.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
While the food was being served from our friends at
Rock and Bruise, I heard you went over there and we're.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Able to to uh to steal some food for yourself.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
I saw Katie by the way from Rocky roofs Loki
a big hug. But there was a warm up act.
There was a comedian who apparently she works at one
O three point five upstairs on the fifth floor, and
she started off very team, you know, very like you
know Villanilla.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
And nobody nobody's reacting and she's like f by.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
By the end of the routine, she's talking about you know,
relations she had on a trip down in Cabo, like
last comment.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Relation. Okay, yeah, that's on my way down to Cobo
and I saw this guy and I got real honey.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
So wait, it's just a snorkeling instructors.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
He said, who's for scoop? I'm going down.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Really, you guys missed it. What a great time over
at the iHeart but you didn't win an didn't win anything.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
And you're upset about that.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I was hoping to win something, Matt. Here's the thing
I figured, with everything that's happening here in the last month,
numbers wise, there's less people.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Okay, well how many people were there? Because I heard
the line for the buffet was quite long.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Yeah, it was like fifteen people, but it moved pretty quickly.
I'd say there was one hundred and twenty five people.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
May kay for how many prizes? Fifteen?
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Let's say fifteen prizes. Okay, so you got a ten
percent chance? Basically, yeah, that's pretty good odds is it?
One in ten nine people don't win? One does well
considering one at nine?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Adam Oslin got a gas cart and Tim Kates is
walking out of there with nothing but his boots oh
air in his hand.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
I used to work at a guest that's Ralph Kates,
and no, I wont a gas car.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
I was hoping to win those Dodger tickets.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
That would have been said, I work.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
For the Dodgers. They're giving me a ring for the
World Series. Check this out for a dugout seats one means.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
At work, somebody what a Barri's gift card, right for
a lot of money?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
For a lot of money.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Yeah, it turns out this person works on the fifth
floor in finances. Probably doesn't need that money.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
You said you don't think they deserve Do you think
they should have had a tiered system, because this feels
like somebody coming up to me and saying what about
the early people? Yeah, you know I got here and
I was early, and you're pulling these tickets randomly instead
of fixing the draw. It feels like, and now I'm upset.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Kate's going behind wacko and being like, your stake's bigger
than mine.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Right, I can relate now with the early people? What
about us? What about the fourth fourth people? What about us?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
We get nothing Kates, and they regularly book these things
during our show. So I'm just appreciative that they made
it at eleven thirty. So if we had chosen to do
it to end, we did not choose to. But did
we chose not to?
Speaker 4 (17:49):
They had booze by the way, they were serving mixed drinks.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
And well, how you think those people got the shot
of courage to go up there and sing Last Christmas?
I gave you my heart very next day.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
I think it's worth doing. I know you hate when
I do it, but I do think it's worth doing.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Don't do it?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Why not? I think we should. I think people should hear.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Kates took secret videos. I don't think we should play them.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I think we should play Why not?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Because I think it's wrong.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
They were not meant for air, says who.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
All I'm saying is the iHeart Christmas party. I hope
no one can hear that? Can anybody hear that?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Running?
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Damn it?
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Beautiful fingers up?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yep, last crass mess I gave you the dude in
a suit looked a little like, Hey, Tim, did you
put cologne on for the plane? Ah? Yeah, Colonne cake
Kenny had been sneezing in here for the last ten minutes.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
All right, pipe down, rusty.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Cologne, karaoke Kates. I got my haircut, Trombone, Ronny.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
I got my hair cut, and my guy who cuts
my hair, Elvis, actually sprayed some colone on me when
he got my spray coloone in your head?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, the back of my Elvis.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Hey, do be a favorite?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Can you please spring some.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Cloning in the back of my head?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I love your party. I like you, Tim, I always
have always will. You're gonna love bit tender and go
for Christmas, and Elvis gonna spray some special colone on
the back of your big bullet hand. Damn Tim, Why
did it have to be? Really? Okay? Joe? I appreciate
the cut, but did you did sing? I do think
(19:25):
I honestly, do think if there's one thing we come
out of this conversation with, I think Matt's a little
bit right about you. Kate's If there's another thing, I
think somebody's got to do a wellness check on Dave
Wee after it's hose point, don't go full combs. I
felt like such an empty shell. But I was up
there hosting the Christmas party.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
It's nice to know we all have something in common
in the building because everybody was just mocking Weeze upon
the stairs.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Oh, shut up, We'll see that's not okay. That's a
tough job. Okay, you know, being the MC of a
company Christmas party where people are disgruntled because they're not
winning prizes that they believe right, they deserve to win, right,
And you're the one that's got to pull the number.
And every time you do, there's one person that's happy
on one hundred and twenty four that aren't.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
They had a new Kid on the Block prize pack.

Speaker 6 (22:03):
UCLA went up to Eugene, just like Daffy Duck get
his bill shot off in the Looney Tunes.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
He spins around his head when he takes that shot.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Blew the bill right off Daffy's face and then came
back down. And now crazy to say it, but it
is at a conference game between UCLA and the Wildcats,
our dear friend, the Great Mick Cronin, UCLA head coach.
They're number twenty four in the poll, eight and one overall,
two and zero in the Big Ten. They are going
(22:38):
to Phoenix. By the time I'd get to Phoenix, She's
gonna be waking up knowing that I've left her on
in southern California to Toyota do this celebrity hotline. It
is Mick cronin. What's cracking? Coach? How are you?
Speaker 5 (22:53):
You had me thinking about al Pacino and heat right there?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Uh well, coach, you know it is interesting though, I mean,
there's so much change going on and it's kind of
like makes your eyes spin like a slot machine in
the world of college sports. But how important is it
to players on every year if you're u c l A,
or maybe it's not. Is this just something that's happening,
what's going on?
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Well, we're playing them for financial reasons, but also look,
uh well hey, you know that you guys like having
me on some of the actually come on here and
tell the damn truth. I mean, you know, let's just
you know, I mean, you can handle the truth. So
let's be honest. We're playing for financial reasons. Nil game
(23:43):
for both of us. And that's that now at u
c l A. If you're the coach at U c
l A, look you got to play uh you know,
top top tier non league games. You know, whether it's
this year, it's North Carolina, it's been you know, can
you know every year you got you gotta play some games,
(24:04):
man Villanova. You know, Jay Wright came out when they
were final fourteen and top five, So you got to
try to make sure you're in some of those games
every year. And that's just part of the part of
the UCLA brand. You're you know, you're not a blue blood.
You're not playing Kentucky and uh you know Carolina and
Arizona see of teams like that. You know, that's why
(24:25):
kids want those games as well. You know the players
would much rather play Arizona than Utah Tech. Let's be honest.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
And it's a sweet run that we're in the midst
of before the end of the year. You just said it,
Coach Arizona, North Carolina, Gone Zaga. Gonna be a lot
of fun as we wrap up twenty twenty four. As
peaking a test, I get sidetracked easily. And when you
mentioned heat, my wheels just immediately started spinning. Have you
ever if you are a fan of the film and
(24:54):
the iconic scene, have you ever made your way out here,
just maybe two blocks up the road from where we're
talking right now, out of the Bob's Big Boy in
Burbank where they filmed The.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
Boy, Come on, come on, Matt, I come.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
On, all right.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
You know, you know I'm a look back to the
day it was. I dreamt that it was going to
be Sisco, Ebert and Crony.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
All right, I'm a movie guy.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
I don't want Yeah, I don't watch television.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I'm a movie guy.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
I think you know my great U C l a
legendary operations manager in this thirty second year Doug Ericson,
I used to drive Coach Wooden around, uh, slept on
Steve Lavin's floor coach wouldn't called him the floor sleeper.
When I got here, he found out it was my
first summer, he said, he found out I was a
movie guy. We got in the car and we went everywhere,
(25:47):
you know, La landmarks. You know, my daughter was still
on our way here.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
So on a day where I.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Wasn't recruiting or trying to find a new place to
live Sunday, we get in the car and see, you know,
we see it all, see it all, you know, the shootout,
saying the whole thing, nothing like the LA You got
a LA movie. Uh you got to go to the sites, right,
you got to go to Daniel Larusso's apartment.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yes, yes, you do, yes, you do. And look at
that busted up pool and wonder how that guy had
a job as a caretaker when the pool was in
such bad shape.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
And Bagi somebody bought his house and they they knocked
it down in the backyard. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
They did a beautiful job, did a beautiful job with
the wood.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yes, yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
But you know, you know what, guys, while we're on
telling the truth, here's what I want, Lou was you know,
there was a big commitment in basketball and also in baseball, right,
Juan Soto sign At what point are we But what
point are we going to mandate that the college kids
stopped doing the interviews and talk about what they picked
(26:57):
the school because they liked the co sty bonded with
the coach. Let's you know, like Juan Photo's not saying
he bonded with the manager. He may not even know
who the hell the manager of the Mets is. It's possible.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
A lot of this school for money.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
And it's okay, guys, a lot of this it's okay.
But at some point, let's let's do it. Let's start
to stop with the you know, I really like coach
Cronin and what he showed me on film. Let's let's
just go with the trip.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Can we also stop with like the five paragraph This
is God's plan, this is why I'm leaving South Alabama.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, enough enough. Look, God, God's not concerned
with where you go to school. Okay, let's just be honest.
You know, you know, no matter what God you believe in,
I think he's got other things he's worried about.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
He's a state school guy. God is always he.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
God doesn't like it if we if we line up,
if we line up with too many wide receivers, God
doesn't like it. He wants us a pack of informs
the time.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Yeah, let's just yeah, let's just play place. Let's just
play ball and call it as it is.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
It changes a little bit of the way that I
call football games for sure, at the college level, now
that the guys are getting paid, I mean.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
We don't doesn't really a little bit. And I know
you called, yeah, you call games. And I got to
ask you this because I heard my friend Fran for
Scilly does a big twelve yeah for the four Letter Network.
So the other day I'm in the hotel and he's
calling the game, and it was Kansas okay, And he said,
(28:34):
the guy's got to make that shot. He's paid, he's
won for seven he's paid to make shots. He's got
to make that. And that's the first time I heard
an announcers, you know, like it was and I don't look,
it went out in the portal. They got this kid.
He was a high ticket item player in the portal,
you know, you know, supposedly a seven figure player, so
(28:57):
you know, but that you know, Look, that's just the
way it is.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
You know.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
I mean, if you're pett you go out. If you right,
you signed big for big money and free agency and
you struggle, the home crowd is going to be on you.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Well, does it change the way you coach? I mean
it's you've coached the same way I would imagine your
entire career. Does it change the way you coach the
young guys?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
No, not at all.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
I think you still got to care about guy guys
as people. And I try to teach my guys a
fool and his money will soon part ways, you know,
so uh and without and if you don't learn discipline,
you'll end up broke no matter what you got. So
I try to teach them life skills still, and it's
probably even more important. You know, that way they don't
(29:42):
blow whatever they're getting, right, got to learn you got
to learn the most important word in the dictionary when
you earn your money is no. Say no to the
car dealer, say no to the clothes here, and say
no to the jeweler, and say no to your family members.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Now I don't know, Yeah, coach, I would love to again.
Now now I'm sidetracked a little bit thinking about it,
because look, if you're if you're able, if you're Kansas
and you can seven figures for the nation's you know,
best score outside, you're fine. But let's just say, like,
do you do you have relationship? I'm trying to think
(30:20):
the best way to ask this. With some of these
schools that you're not recruiting kids out of high school,
you're not developing them like you used to. Do you
have favorite coaches that you would then say, hey, take
this kid, I know how you're going to coach them up,
and I'm gonna be ready for him in two years.
And are those programs comfortable doing that? Like, look, I'm
just gonna this is how I have to coach my
(30:40):
program and try to get these kids, and then there
is maybe a connection with with you and certain coaches
and kids that you otherwise might have recruited and had
patients with.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
I would absolutely love that, and in serious you couldn't
be more on the money. Okay. The problem is if
a guy's good enough that I'm kind of looking at
him at UCLA, and you're supposedly a blue blooded type school,
it's going to be really hard for me to convince
(31:11):
him and even pay him from our collective to go
to UC Irvine and play for Russell Turner, who's as
good a coach as anybody.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
In America period.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
I think they're undefeated. Again, I don't know anybody on
his team. I don't need to know. Every year he wins,
he's like Mike Tomlin, Okay, I mean, it's just the
way he just wins. So I would love to send
guys to play for him and so I could get
him back. Absolutely love it. But the problem is that
type you know, that player would he would take that
(31:45):
the wrong way, you know, like, you know, he would
probably like, you know, hey, man, you know, you know,
screws you. I'm gonna go play for you know, somebody else.
You know San Diego State or you know somebody like that.
You know, I mean, it's just be hard to get
a guy. I would love to do it. In theory,
(32:06):
it'd be a great thing to do, but it's just
I think it'd be hard hard to accomplish. I mean, look,
he and I have even talked about it. This coach
Turner and I've actually talked about it. But you know,
and he would he gets it. I mean, look at
that level. My former assistant Michael Lewis, head coach at
Ball State. His best players is six ' nine Basher
(32:29):
Jahad starts for Arizona State, their best team in many years,
played two years at Ball State, got a bunch of
money to go to Arizona State. That's just the way
it is, you know, and he knows that at Ball
State that's going to happen to him. But sure, I
would say to your point, uh, if you could get
transfers from good coaches, it's definitely just like getting a
(32:52):
high school player.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
You know.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Look, it's no secret that like my younger players are
if you just look. Okay, I got two Harvard Westlake freshmen.
I got a Corona Centennial freshman. Okay, coach Giles coach
for Bibo, two of the best there is in California
period to the best there is in high school period. Okay,
(33:17):
you know Dylan Andrews went to win where Colin Poff
was a great coach. He moved up north. You know,
Sebastian Mac played for Jeff Kaufman at Coronado, who also
coached Pop Pop Isaacs, who also coached Jaydon Hardy the
Dallas Mavericks. So yeah, you want to try to RecA,
I do believe you. You know, you want to try
to get guys that have been taught basketball and taught
(33:40):
winning basketball. I think it's it definitely matters the.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Great mccrona knows about winning basketball. Saturday, Ucla is they're ranked.
They're taking them on Arizona. It's a that IL game,
twelve o'clock on a five seventy on IL game. Baby,
great matchup. In the win over Oregon on Sunday, it
felt like defensively your guys were playing better, maybe a
little bit more the way you wanted them to play
up there.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
But we played great for thirty eight thirty seven and
a half minutes. I mean we're up nine with three
to play, and probably have gotten to where I am
and coaching because teams don't make mistakes, especially late in
the game. You know, we don't. I think the first
thing you got to learn in coaching, if you've got
a job, I'd say you asked me my advice, I'd say,
(34:26):
you got to teach your team how to how to
not beat themselves, okay, how to be solid, how to
be smart make somebody beat you. And we tried to
get literally, we gave the game away a couple of times.
It's hard to win a game three times, and I
think we won that game three times. So for thirty
(34:47):
seven and a half minutes, we were great. A team
that's got major wins on the road, sold out crowd.
It couldn't have just couldn't have been more proud of it. It
was a shame most gave it away. Basketball God saved this.
I think I had been beat on ten straight buzzer
shots without hitting one, and there's been ten losses on
(35:11):
the buzzer before since I had won one at the buzzer.
It's really my brother sent me that, so it was
about time, you know, But we tried to give it away.
So it's a learning opportunity, you know, just late in
the game. A lot of things on film for us
to really clean up in a late game situation. But again,
(35:31):
you know, some guys that haven't played for us and
our coaching staff and how to really win is really
really important as far as just not you know, blocking
out at a foul line or out of bounds defense
underneath thrown basket. Just inexcusable errors that we got to
clean up. But a huge win, to your point, huge win.
(35:52):
I don't know if anybody besides us has a top
twenty win on the road in college basketball. People have
neutral sight wins, right, but I don't know about a
road win.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Last thing for you, coach, because you love coming on
and we don't just discuss basketball, a breadth of topics
will be broached. So just real quick, because you are
playing North Carolina on the twenty first, your thoughts of
of Bill Belichick may be starting to make that thing
a football school if he takes that get.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Four hundred page managed.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
Well, here's what I would say. First of all, I
think what an advantage for the kids that he would coach,
I mean, what an advantage to be able to learn?
I mean, to be him to be your coach? Are
you kidding me? I mean, what a huge advantage. Secondly,
on his side, I'm obviously I couldn't speak for guys
(36:45):
got more rings than I have fingers on one hand,
but the fact that it is more recruiting is more
transactional than relationship. Okay, recruiting forever was your relationships, and
obviously building relationships takes time, you have to be present
at the exchange. And now it's it's way more transactional
(37:11):
to a point where it's almost professional. So he doesn't
have to dive in and spend all his time at
the North Carolina High School and Florida High School Coaches
Association conventions because you're just you know, just it's about
who you gonna pay, how much you're gonna pay him, right,
So I think, you know, for a guy like him, not,
(37:34):
you know, it would make that that would be the
reason a pro guy would have no interest in a
college job, like you know, the constant x external work
you have to do instead of just coach football where
I think he could. I mean, you still got to
do with donors and things like that to an extent,
(37:55):
but it's much more like a pro job now. Especially
they raised the NIOW money for him. He don't have
to go spend all his time doing it. But man,
what an advantage if I was again, if I was
a player and I wanted to make long money, and
I would choose the coaches that could make me the
best and not focus on the NIO money. If I,
(38:17):
if I was going for the long money, you get
a chance to play for a guy like him, huge,
huge advantage.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
But he still didn't get to turn on sunset to
drive to work like Mick Crownin. Yeah that's true.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
You're damn right.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Yeah, you're turning left on sunset.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
UCLA, Arizona, Phoenix, kip off at noon on a five seventy.
We love your coach, Good luck and keep fighting a
good fight. We'll talk soon.
Speaker 5 (38:41):
You've got it. I gotta go watch he Yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Gotta go watch hey, free country brother. Now, I gotta
go get me a big boy combo for.
Speaker 5 (38:47):
The two hundred times. Thank you, buddy, Fore you guys.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Here he goes Mick Crowning, and we'll be right back.
How do you know that? Well, spent all the hour.
Gotta come back.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Los Angeles. You're a generous bunch.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Why, thank you?
Speaker 3 (39:11):
I pride myself on thinking of others.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
You handed out els all season long to the Giants
and Padres.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Don't forget the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Now we need your help for the annual season of giving.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Will anyone think of the children?
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Oh, we're raising money to donate over ten thousand toys
at the Dreamland event.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Big thanking him, Cronin, he is the best. Whatever happened
to the attempted murder of the Big Boy statue?
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Are the one in Downey? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Did they ever catch the perpetrator?
Speaker 5 (39:42):
That?
Speaker 2 (39:43):
No, it cut off half the head, cut off half
the head. It's been repaired. But the purp was the
purp ever apprehended? I don't, but I don't know. Maybe
the search continues. Yeah, it's possible that that purp remains
at large.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
It's possible. And you know what, if he wants a meal,
you gotta go to Burger King. They don't snitch, don't snitch. Well,
thank you for listening, everybody. We've got a show coming
up on Thursday, December nineteenth. A week from Thursday, just
a two to four thirty petros and money gift exchange
(40:18):
at the BJS in West Covina. All of you San
Gabriel Valley types are required to be there.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
McK cronin, our guest will be coaching his UCLA team
in Phoenix against the Wildcats Arizona neutral site, tip off
at noon, neutral site. Better than McHale nil on Am
five seventy. It's an nil game. He's telling the truth.
Money and the LA Chargers who had to wear that
l like I wore the buddy that Mick crowned threw
(40:49):
my way in the last segment.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
I do believe we both wore the buddy at the
end though.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Kickoff at one twenty five for the Chargers on Sunday
against the Buccaneers Alte eight seven, so we all look
forward to that as well.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
I think in advanced age, buddy becomes a little more tolerable.
The older folks tend to use the word buddy a
little bit more than the younger folks. Younger folks it
is a term of derision, but I think older folks
are like, it's my pal, that's my buddy over there.
(41:23):
Buddy was there with a couple buddies.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Well, Matt, speaking of derision, some torches have been lit,
some pitchforks have been sharpened, they're coming for Kate's.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
Line brought to you by your sokel Toyota dealers.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
We make it easy, Petris. Do you think that Mick
was listening to the segment when Kate's was whining like
a little hoe about losing to other people for things
he doesn't even need, and said to himself, Man, this
Tim Kates guy is just a pure hope, because I
sure as hell did baby asked Kates give him a
little rattle and a bump of coke, and then he
(41:59):
put a little picture of a key. Some Kates could
use the key to scoop the coke into his nose.
Speaker 3 (42:06):
Thank you, sir, What do you say? Give him a
baby bottle and some coke.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Give him a rattle and a bump, and next to
bump he put a little key. Scoop the scoop that coke.
That's good. That's a good text us. And this one,
Matt really comes over the top. You know, any of
us complain about anything, It's like, oh, you know, they're
starving children, people in Malibu without homes, students of Pepperdine
with no power and internet, no nothing. But Tim Kates
(42:33):
didn't win a TV or a gift card certified Dill
do do for shame for shame?
Speaker 3 (42:39):
Yeah, kates for shame.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
For Shane.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
I'm having flashbacks, man, I'm freaking out over.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
Here for shame for shame. Now they're coming after you, Matt.
Would Matt say that the Chiefs Chargers sweep was a
competitive sweep? Hashtag losers?
Speaker 3 (42:57):
It's very competitive. You're talking about a for the division
at the end of the game. Game before that, you
got no Joe Olt, you got no over Sean Slater. Yeah,
I remember that on one leg.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Yeah. And then the deal.
Speaker 3 (43:08):
James spended the deal with the devil. Yeah, clearly that
was part of the deal. The devil that made the
deal was like, hey, Chiefs, watch this. Tackles gone, Derwin suspended,
Herbert Ankle, go on out there and do your thing.
Oh you could only win by seventeen ten. It's a
good thing I did all those things for you since
you made that deal. So competitive sweep, most definitely, And
(43:28):
maybe it's not a sweep after all. Ius you how
hard it is to beat a team three times in
the same season. Very difficult game near impossible. That's what
the Washington generals used to say. It's really hard to
lose twenty times in the same team. But we're gonna
take on the Globetrotters again to night. This is going
to be our night.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
Pee. I heard the curse talk on the podcast and
Cam confirm that the devil reached out to a thirteen
year old six foot one Andy Reid in nineteen seventy
one the punt pass and kick competition and whispered.
Speaker 7 (43:57):
Mister, and I would give you eternal victories as the
head coach of Kansas City in fifty years.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
If you agree to this deal, you will toil in.
Speaker 7 (44:07):
The city of Philadelphia coming close to such glory, but
you will have a quarterback vomit during the Super Bowl
and you will lose.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
I will give you minor family complications.
Speaker 7 (44:18):
Minor these will continue in Kansas City, but I will
deliver you a desperate city police force.
