Being checked repeatedly at the event. Many folks acknowledged Collin ye.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Let's just get through our normal housekeeping and then we
can discuss what the people want. The people, I don't
think anybody cares.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
No, they they wouldn't care if we won. The fact
that we lost. We we did expect to win.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I didn't expect that. You did. You expected to win.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I expected to win because we were peppered with emails
and phone calls repeatedly about our presence being important. And
that has not happened since the last time we won,
which I think was twenty twenty two or twenty one.
No award, twenty twenty COVID year, nothing like we had
(02:13):
experience before. They just don't even call us. Look at
whatever those guys don't come, leave them alone this year.

got fired, Your boy, your boys boy, your guy got fired.
(03:58):
Greg Roman from the Chargers, Tomlin steps down big moves
happening in the NFL. We need to talk to somebody
that knows about that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Former Chargers general manager, former Raiders general manager, now media
superstar on the NFL channel, on the serious XM.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Tom a growing quasar.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
He is flying past the petros and money show in
Media Superstar. Who isn't our old friend Tom Telesco will
join us in the very next segment.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
To finish all the minutes of the meeting. Little more housekeeping.
We are your home of the NFL playoffs. We are
we got it all three divisional games this weekend, not
the Rams. We are your home of Super Bowl sixty Sunday,
February sixth. We got all that because he's licking his
wounds joining us as our producer today. Also a absolutely
(05:01):
indispensable call from a seventy LA Sports and the Dodgers
swinging swords like Shinobi, our Japanese Chinese friend calling. I'm
sure he was doing some networking.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I would like to hope so. Seemed like a very
popular person at the Southern California Sports Broadcasters Award luncheon.
Colin Yee name checked by multiple folks that made their
way on stage and approached the lecture. Colin ye was
shouted out, thanks for being here, Colin, thank you.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
I was surprised at how many shout outs I got. Yeah,
a little embarrassing, shouldn't be you should be proud.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Well, the Dodgers were cleaning up. Yeah, and when the
Dodgers clean up, Colin Yee gets name checked.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
It's so different from years past at the SCSB, when
the Kings would just clean house and win everything. Well,
they still got their lune, they still got there, when
Nick Nixon still got it.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
You know, they're always gonna get something. I mean, is
it even a broadcast? It's streams? Should they even be
able to where win a broadcast award? If it's a stream,
you see him there on your stream.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Right there on your stream. Well the stream can be
mirrored on your television, which then makes it a sup
a broad broadcast. Yeah, it's like a personal broad.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I'm sorry, I was being very snarky. Then I think
we all are. Well. Colin Yee is here, He's not
being snarky at all. Here's what happened, folks. For those
of you that don't know, Uh and Rob I have
not talked about it a lot. You know, Ronnie's been
sitting here all day with his puzzo on his hand.
He doesn't care. You know. Ronnie's had to go to
work and carry Rogan and Rodney around, like Billaneer up
and down the court, right man, Like Bob Lanier say a.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Hell of a load too, that you're carrying up and
down the court. I got to say, not Bill Laimbier,
but Bob Lanier. I think they both are applicable.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah, So that's what Ronnie's been doing. But the rest
of us, most everybody here was at the California Southern
California Sports Broadcasters Award right down the street here in Burbank,
at the house that Bob Hope built, Lakeside Country Club,
which is very nice and Matt incredibly Matt and I
(07:05):
were invited by the guy who's the president, El Presidente,
just a notch below Barstool Sports as far as popularity,
as far as sports presidents go. Yeah, in the Southern
California Sports Broadcasters, Pete Arbogast also known as Arbo Blast,
the USC play by play man who also does a
(07:28):
lot of great work at Marshall High, his alma mater.
But Pete Arbaghast, he's the president some advice and practice
I like to help young broadcasters. They I may not
want my advice, but I'll give it. Do you do? So?
Pete Arbagast was there as the MC because it's basically
(07:50):
his event. And Matt and I have won now and
and you know, I gotta be honest, and I'm not
even making this up because a lot has happened over
the years. We've done this a long time.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
For twentieth year and twenty years we had the possibility
of being nominated for this award, the IRV case a
Sports Talk Show of the Year.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Well, I was up for something. I was up for
Analyst of the Year for local analysis from the Challenge,
and they did a big deal about it. This was
a long and I didn't remember this moment until I
was walking in after I gave my car to the valet,
and I was like, oh my god, that's right. That
(08:31):
was the last time I was here, and this is
why I've never been back. And you weren't there. It
was I went and my dad went, I brought my
dad right, and we had a couple of drinks and
what happened always used to happen because Bob Miller was
in charge back then. Clean house they gave you, but
(08:53):
they called me and acted like you need to be here.
You he sold a table to me. I had my
dad there, and then the hockey guy won and the
dawn started to pop.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Off wall the hockey Guy's given his exception.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Jim Fox was given his speech and the dawn started
to pop off and hackle him, and I said, we
got to go. And it was the same kind of deal,
except I had a bloody marry or two and we
laughed in shame, really for sure. And that was like years,
twenty five year years. No, I mean it was we
were doing our show because that game.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Year because neither of us have been there. Well, no,
we have been there once. We were there before. Yeah,
when they told us we had to come, hint, hint,
and it was we were new. Chris Roberts told us
it'd be great if we were there.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
And we showed up and we didn't win. We never
we haven't won.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
We have not well, we've won three times, but we
weren't there. No, we have never David Vasse accepted our
award once, and I believe Tim Kates has accepted our
award twice.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, but it was fifteen years ago that I remember.
I brought my dad. I lost. I wasn't upset, I
didn't care us. My dad was livid and started barking
at the No one watches hockey hockey, you know, and
I was just like, oh no, we got to go,
you know, and all the Kings people started craning their
necks over and me and my dad together weigh about
(10:15):
five hundred and ten pounds, so we needed to, like,
you know, get out of there like two cows. And
that was the last So I remembered. It hit me
and then I was like, oh no. I sat down
at our table and I sat next to Blackmore and
I said, the last time I was here is like, yeah,
your dad freaked out and you had to leave because
(10:37):
you lost. I was like, how do you remember. I
totally forgot about that, And even when we were we
talked about this for like two or three days before
the New year, and I totally forgot that. I made
a fool of myself and my family. One of the
last times we were there now. The other time when
you and I were there was a lot like this
where we were just we were just dying of them
(11:00):
from the speeches. We left early. We were worried about
the show. I believe great sports talk, that's what takes president.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
And we went, I believe, if if my memory starts correct,
we rent. We went because our boss Don Martin got
a table, got a table, the can't the Loose Cannons
were up for an.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Award, and.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
There, guys, we're going to support Michael Vick and Steve
they're gonna win this year and I want you there
for it. You gotta go, and and that's why we went, right, okay,
per the insistence of our former boss, Don Martin. We
were not up for the award. We have never gone
when we were up for the award. I think Chris
Roberts told us that we were going to win and
(11:41):
we wanted. Something came up. We were supposed to go,
and we ended up not that's misspelled my name, misspelled
your name. Either you were on the road for something
or I was on the right. Anyway, I stopped going
because I was humilian. Well, you want to make a
fool of myself humiliation made my dad buy like a
whole table, and then I didn't get the war, and
then he was like a couple drinks deep getting all mad.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
It was a long drive ball after the show.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Let me tell you, I knew I was in trouble
today when I showed up and there wasn't a seat
at the table.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I was like, where am I supposed to sit?
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Guys, and Isaac Lohenkron got all uncomfortable and he like
lifts his He's got like a napkin tucked into his
suit and he's like, I'll stand up, you can have
my chair.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I was like, Ilo sit out. By the time I
arrived with her food, he was done eating, so he
moved for me.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
So I was like, I don't even know where the
hell I'm supposed to sit. I took a seat at
the charger's table. I got Sean Cody pumping his fist.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Shohn Cody was excited to win, right, And then I
got a Ducks He ran through a wall like an
ASTech wrestler.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Oh, he attacked the stage. I mean he closed that
gap in three seconds from his table to the stage.
And then I got a Ducks guy yelling at me.
Because I'm not standing in a plodding. When they announced
Ducks announcer Steve Carroll, he looked right at me and
he goes, stand happen.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Nobody else? Is anybody you? Why am I the a
hole that's not standing in a Blaudi? Well? Colin Yee
was at our table, Matt.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
And I in front of me. John Ireland won for
play by play Voice of the Year, an award for
which I was not even nominated.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
But you are a play by play guy. Amiliation, sheer humiliation.
There were other play by play guys that were there
that were not nominated.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Like who never was never there? Yeah, oh that's unfortunate.
I didn't see him. Billy Mack was there, Billy Mack
and he lost. He was nominated though, Yeah, I was
not nominated. Ilo was acknowledged as the voice of Angel City.
(13:43):
I didn't get acknowledged by anybody. Colin got shouted out
from the stage. I mean it was sheer humiliation. I
think all the fellow Charger employees is I just took
one of their seats. I was like, hey, guys, I'm
gonna sit with you. I don't have a table, I
don't have a seat at the freaking am five to
seven LA sports table. I'm just gonna squat with you
guys the loser.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
That I am nice of the Chargers to get it table.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I appreciate that classy exactly, and then to be lectured
by Pete arbo Gas. You know, some teams in town
have given the SCSB tickets so we don't have to
get in our suits and be all stuffy and commiserate.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
When we enjoy a game a game, and it would
be nice. You have us sixty or seventy tickets, six
sixty tickets, sixty tickets? What is it? Elementary school day
at the Street Parks game? You know, it'd be nice
if some of the other teams in town would take
care of the SCSB like these other programs out you.
(14:37):
Ricky for the Chargers looked at me, He's like, is
he serious? Seventy tickets? Like yeah, I think he's pulling
you out right now, Ricky calling calling you out? You
were there? Is there anything you want to say that
wasn't true? I was there. I can be in Dallas.
I felt a lot of warmth toward Matt. I thought
people were warmth towards that. It was a wonderful event.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
I felt a little under dressed until I should all
Matt and Petros. I walked in there super self conscious.
I'm like, everyone's in a suit. Damn you were black.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Matt and I are dressed like we were in a
golf club, except I'm wearing black jeans and what if
I was drown We're both wearing black jeans. But you said,
but you you haven't. They're black. But you you were
dressed like all he wanted was something to eat. You're
dressed like Rambo. You got the I was in Vietnam,
(15:30):
hard luck jacket on right, and I have no as
a young broadcaster is a guy who should be the
next play by play, got to get a job.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
He wears a suit for his high school sports broadcast,
so the man has us Colin, he has suit?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Why did you dress like all he wanted was something
to eat? As I made a mistake? You didn't? I
mean I walked in and yeah, I got I'm not
gonna lie is He left because he's brooding. But I
got Tim Kats. I mean last night he called me
about something and I had a drink, so I was
a little loose and he was like, I think I'm
(16:03):
gonna wear a sports coat tomorrow. And I called him,
you know, maybe some slurs, like you know you should
you like if you but I'm gonna, I think I
threatened him, like go ahead, wear sports cause see how
you get treated by me, son of a bitch. You know,
I really got you know, I'd had a drink. You know,
I was a little looser with the lips. I didn't
come here to rescue Rambo from you. I came here
(16:25):
to rescue you from him. And then this morning Kate
was like, I'm gonna be so underdressed and it was
like nine. I was like, dude, go home, you live
in Burdbank, put on your freaking dumb ass sports coat
and fine wear a suit. So he did, he went.
He went.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
He's like and then I called him. He's like, like,
I'm wearing a tie. Okay, you didn't wear a tie.
You wear a freaking check shirt, a pattern suit.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
John Ireland was in a suit.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yes, all the people that well know Sean Cody was
in a rib tea. Yeah, flexing.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
That was like, wasn't it though I don't believe it
was a was it? I believed? And you got that physique?
Why not?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Ollie wanted was something to eat. I'll get up Matt,
you can have him. I say, eat your food. I
low Dave Wiese and his hair. So we mean like,
I'm sorry we didn't get I didn't get a count
in time. I'm sorry. We were at the broadcaster's dinner.
Our boss Brian Long was there, Dave Weise, Brian Blackmore.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
I feel bad I might have taken Matt's seat because
I think I was a late.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Well, we wanted you to net you need that seat,
but dressed up like a homeless veteran like me, I
appreciate that. No, you look like you were. You look
like that got belong here in Lakeside? Is he eating
the food for freak? Because he's a number at Lakeside?
Who's that at the charge I know he's not up
for any awards. Who's that at the charger table with
(17:53):
his hair flume?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
So we were there and we were humiliated, Well we
were humillionated. We were up for an award talk show.
Think about that talk show of the year of the year.
We do PM drive in Los Angeles for twenty years.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
We're up. This is our twentieth year. It is an
award we've won in the past we have. So we
are up for Talk Show of the Year.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Against a pregame and a post game.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Up a very incestual field as our producer was against us,
Tim Kates as Talk Show of the Year Dodger free Back,
and then David Vasse was against us with Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Now.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I don't think Dave has ever won. Colin Yee connected
with all three of the shows, he could have, you know,
gone up and accepted the award. If anybody won, has
Dave ever won? I don't believe. So Okay and Dave
had a banner year with the Dodgers. I expected Dave
to win, even though I threw my pen at anger
(19:00):
at the at the.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Table unnecessary shot at the end though from Dave, well,
I think it's expected toward me.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
I think it's expected. Well, you're doing You threw your pen,
he saw your emotionally affected and well I.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Wanted to keep the Papadagas tradition of acting like idiots.
He is like shark, blood and water. Yeah, exactly, sorry,
pictures next year, and everybody's like.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
No.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I felt like it was an afternoon of sheer humiliation.
Our name was sandwiched in the middle as a nominee.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Come with me, they opened your feel she humiliation.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
John Ireland sitting right in front of me, he's presenting award.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I mean, you know, they should have expect you to win.
They should have put you up for play by play.
He got the Call of the Year nomination, you know
what I mean. But he's on the board, on the board,
He's on the board. He's in the Hall of Fame.
Mason and Ireland are in the Southern California Sports Broadcasting
Hall of Fame, which is kind of weird. If you're
John Ireland, you're in the Hall of Fame, and yet
(20:12):
you're still accepting other rewards, right, It's like, is that prudent?
But David Vasse won. We're proud of him. We lost
it for him. Callin Yee wins. Tim Kate's brooding at
the Compass Media Cave down the street.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Stephen Nelson won for his broadcast at Game seven here
on a five seven to LA Sports. Very nice, humble speech, beautiful,
beautiful delivery by Stephen Nelson, acknowledging Colin Ye, Dwayne McDonald,
Tim Dave.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I didn't eat the food, was it bad?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
I didn't eat the food either. Because I was told
it might be gone. I was told you better go
get that food right now or it would be gone.
And I was like, well, I don't know where to eat.
I got no seat. I'm not gonna stand and eat
like a homeless person that just snuck in here or
a golfer the just put eighteen in the books and
decided to come snag some buffet chicken. I thought about
(21:06):
just attacking a slice of bread and some lukewarm butter
that would spread easy, and I didn't even do that.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I mean, it was weird. I mean, just to see
Billy McDonald north of Crypto, which is where he does
not travel. I mean, he does not travel north of
Crypto unless he's on the plane of Sacramento or Golden
State with the Lakers. So then we missed Hartman. We
did miss We missed Steve Hartman's lifetime achievement since Harvey
Hyde went thirty minutes. Because Harvey Hyde's Lifetime Achievement speech
(21:36):
was so so long and talked deeply about radio sponsorship
in Las Vegas and sales and what it was like
to be a head coach at UNLV and every time
you blinked your eyes and opened him up. Pete Arbogas
got closer with Harvey Hyde with the hook. Oh he
was the Sandman from from the Apollo Man. I just
(21:56):
I thought I was gonna start hearing if Harvey hide,
if Harvey High doesn't go like that long we get Hartman.
I think that we were there for the whole thing. Yes,
and we get Steve Hartman's speech, but alas we did not.
We did get David Vasse's speech. It was beautiful. We
showed love to Brian Long, our new program director. It
treats people like humans, bead like, treats us like humans. Yes,
(22:24):
And everybody at the table was nodding like, yeah, yeah,
he does wear a great point. We're all human beings.
That's a great point.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
My wife said, I wasn't supposed to go along, but
I'm not listening to her today.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
All Right, Harvey, that's gonna do it. John Ireland introduced
Jimmy Hill for a Lifetime Achievement award. Talked about the
Freedom Train. Interestine anecdote about the Freedom train that they
used to the slaves.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
If you're not aware of what that is, let me
share with you. Suppose we start in Georgia and you
would hop house to.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
House from South Carolina. Make your way up. You know Caro,
Carolina is where they had the fire eaters. They were
dead set on slavery.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Through the Free territory. It's a natural train north of
the Rappahannock. Sweetheart, put that phone down, stopped.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Another banquet's coming. Gone. Was it great for us? No?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Was it wildly entertaining. Absolutely, it was a movable feast,
like a mother effort.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I can't believe I'm not nominated, and they sent me
next to all these people. We'll be back. They kept
coming back to their table, like, dude.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Two be fourteen is where it's at, right, mat Yeah, right, guys,
it's where it's at.
Speaker 2 (23:41):

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Well, you know with strikes and gutters, you know, someday
you eat the bear and some day the bear eats you.
And speaking of that, so what they say, Yeah, everybody
says that some day you have bear for dinner, some
days the bear that's you for dinner. Tell us Tom,
(25:45):
how surprised were you by the Chargers performance out in
New England? Some people that I know thought they matched
up pretty well.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Turns out, oh, I was really surprised, and obviously they were.
Through this whole year on offense, they've had to deal
with a lot of adversity. Like everybody knows. You know
that they lost both their starting tackles, but they just
weren't starting tackles. They're all pro football type tackles. Now
what I probably miss, you know, I think having Omary
(26:13):
and Hampton out with injury, I think that affected him
a lot more than people talked about. He's a big
part of how they run that offense. But I would
just the point know, Justin just didn't play well, and
you know it happens from time to time. Doesn't have
very often with him, but looking at that game. I
didn't think Drake May played great either. I mean, Drake
May took five sacks at interception, he put two balls
(26:35):
in the ground, but he made a big throw to
Hunter Henry, and he just consistently took checkdowns. And there's
a big difference when May was checking it down to
Remindre Stevenson and treviaon Henderson versus justin checking it down
to Tyger Fisk. So just what they weren't going the
same type of easy throws, the same type of chunkyards
on an easy throw. So but I was a probably
(26:58):
the defense played very well like they had all year,
and offensively, it just wasn't their day and it was
it was hard to watch, but that's the nature of
the playoffs. So these games, they get bigger and bigger
as you move, as you move through and you know,
whatever your weakness is, it tends to get magnified in
the playoffs, and that's kind of what happened to the Chargers.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
How hard is it tom to try to figure out
the answers to those questions in game? You know, you
go into the half, it's six to three, and it
felt like the Patriots figured it out right. They kind
of you know, got some easy buttons for Drake May,
they found some explosives, and it felt like the Chargers
were kind of trying to do the same things they
were doing in the first half. Is it just too
(27:36):
hard to get out of what you thought you were
going to be able to do if you're not able
to or what goes into trying to overcome some of
those obstacles.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
No, I mean, typically even before you get into the game,
you have your game plan, but you also have some
different plans D, C and D depending on what your
opponent's going to do.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
And then once you're in.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Game, you know, halftimes, as you guys know, halftimes are short.
I mean it's a twelve and a halftime, and you know,
a couple of things just getting to the locker room
and getting back out again. So a lot of the
adjustments will happen in between series. I mean, they have
they have the still photos or the video on the
sideline on the iPads, and they can make adjustments in
real time, but also the defense of making adjustments at
(28:19):
the same time, so it's a it's a cat and
mouse game throughout the whole game. And it just seemed
like the Chargers, they just couldn't get in front of it.
And look, you know Greg, Greg Roman, and he was
full disclosure. He was a college teammate of mine. We
both started with the Carolina Panthers the same year in
nineteen ninety five. And his work ethic, attention to detail
is outstanding, it really is.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Really.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
I gave him a lot of credit for what he
was able to do this year with some of the
issues that had on offense. Justin had a tremendous year
until the last game. But such as life in the NFL,
the emotions of the past game, you know, kind of
crop up and you move on.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
So you know, with that, as you know, kind of
a pretext for this question, what do you make of what?
And he's a guy that you know, he was on
your team. Robert Splane what he said after the game
that I don't know if you saw it, but he
said he was talking to some Charger players after and
they said they didn't know what the heck they were
looking at, that they couldn't figure the coverages out. Is
that something that sounds right to you? And if that's
(29:17):
the case, kind of what would go into that happening
in a game of that magnitude.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
Honestly, it kind of seems like your typical postgame banter
that you know may have been taken a little bit
out of context.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
I haven't been able to see the coaches copy yet
the All twenty two, so you know, on TV it's
hard to see the routes developed and see where if
there was separation, if there were players coming open. I
just know from their offense, I mean, running back to
average less than three arths per carry, and and for
what with the Charges have done this year and how
they run their offense, it's hard to get moving when
(29:52):
when you can't get anything going in the run game.
There were some clean pockets in the first half, but
you know, Justin's normally decisive, but it just didn't seem
like you had anywhere to get with the ball. And
then the second half it just seemed like the Patriots
who didn't really I didn't think pressure that well in
the first half of the second half, they kind of
saw blooding the water and they they brought it from everywhere,
and maybe they brought some pittens that the Charger had
(30:15):
not seen before at their opportune time, and you saw
the result.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
The one and only. Tom to leasco is our guest.
You were in Las Vegas. You had a great draft
in twenty twenty four. Uh, they've turned it over again
at head coach. What do they need? Do they need
a young guy? Did they need like an old angry
guy like Kubiak? Did they need like one of these
offensive guys that looks really quoft? You know, like, what
(30:44):
what do you think I like the hair? I'm at Lafleur, Yeah, Lafloor.
You know, yeah, quaft, offensive guy.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
They just need some stability. That's the biggest thing. I
thought that's what Petka was going to bring to them
last year. But as you guys could see, like it
just didn't click this year. And I could see you
hate to keep making these moves.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
The one and done, so you don't want to see that.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
But I think everyone can see it just didn't click
this year. So at this point, but they have the
first pick in the draft, they're going to take a quarterback,
so they're finally going to have a quarterback to build around,
which they haven't had really since Derek Carr. So they
have that piece and now it's just about getting some
stability at the top from the head coach, and it
doesn't matter if it's offense, defense or special teams to me,
(31:28):
because there are some really good resources there both stadium wise,
practice facility, incredible fan base, mean worldwide fan base, and
there's a lot of good people in the building. And
I know it firstthand because you're only as good as
the people you work with. So there's support staffs with
training and video and communications and equipment scouting. They're excellent.
Just have to find that stability at the top, and
(31:51):
I think they'll go through the I bet they'll be
much more in the same page this year they kind
of went through last year. I've been a first time GM.
Sometimes things are moving real fast and you feel like
you have to get a head coach hired as quickly
as possible because you need to get all the assistants hired,
and you feel like the seats are going to fill.
But if you take your time, go through your process,
which they're doing right now, you get the right person
(32:12):
the top and hopefully just have the stability there.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
So you've you know, you know what it looks like
at the top of the draft when it's a quarterback
draft and it's Joe Burrow and Tua and Justin Herbert
or you know, some years it's Christian Ponder And you know,
what do you make of this year? They have the
number one pick. I know you haven't probably had a
chance to dig too deep into Fernando Mendoz or Dante
More if he decides to come out. But what do
(32:36):
you make of their options at that position? And what
kind of quarterback draft we have coming up here in
a couple months.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Yeah, I mean it's light. I mean you basically mentioned
the two guys that would be at the top for me.
You know, Ty Simpson I think has some potential, but
I wouldn't see him up there with those two guys yet.
But yeah, I mean the quarterback position, if you need
a quarterback, that's why they get put stuff in the
draft because if you don't draft one, very rarely is
(33:03):
the starter come out and freegency that that is a
winning starter that you can actually acquire, so you're an
half to draft them. So yes, they do get a
little bit pushed up. I think Mendoza is definitely an
NFL starter. I mean, as everyone saw, he looked great
the other night, made some just big time accuracy pinpoint
throws and has all the intelligibles you're looking for, and
(33:25):
I think Dante Moore is really talented. But you also
saw the difference between Mendoza being a three year starter
essentially and Dante Moore being a one year starter and
being nineteen years old. And he has some incredible skill,
but you can see that you may need a little
bit more time to develop. So we'll see if he
stays in school, if he declares for the draft. But
(33:45):
those two guys are really, you know, at the top
of the draft, and then it's very thin after that,
so and there's gonna be more teams that need quarterbacks,
and they are actually quarterbacks available, So after the first pick,
you know, depending on the next quarterback is I would
expect a lot of that city for teams to try
and trade up and get somebody.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
More aging like the cheese and the cheese it commercials
for Dante more. Our friend Tom Telasco joins us. You
know the NFL as old, Jerry Glanville said, stood for
not for long, but for some guys, they're in the
same spot for a long time. You knew something about
longevity with the Chargers, Mike Tomlin, Jim John Harball. Of course,
(34:24):
now both available. Tomlin stepped down to after nineteen years.
Harbaugh was in Baltimore for eighteen. How hard is it
for that guy to get a job somewhere else after
he's known something so stable for so long in a
league that's really not that way, No, not at all.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
I mean really, for both of them, it's an end
of an era, and not just for Pittsburgh and for Baltimore,
but just for head coaching in general, because I don't
think we're going to ever see another head coach spend,
you know, nineteen eighteen straight years with the same team,
even if as good as Sean McVay is, at some point,
you know, you kind of need a reset or recharge
(35:03):
the coaching is. I mean, it's a high pressurized business,
even when you're winning at a consistent level. You know,
VA could coach forever, but just stayed nineteen years with
one team the way Tomlin did. I just think it's
really hard to do. I don't think we're gonna see
it ever again. So but with those two guys went
all the great coaches with uh Putting, Andy Reid and McVeigh,
(35:24):
Tomlin Harbaugh. Like their teams, they always had an identity
and that's the number one thing you have to establish.
So we've got two big time jobs open. You know,
Pittsburgh obviously that job doesn't come open very often. I'm
kind of curious what route they go. You know, Mike
McCarthy is mister Pittsburgh. I'd be really interesting guy there.
And but you know, even though they haven't done a
(35:44):
lot of head coach searches, they typically hire young assistants
from other teams, like I mean, essentially just Chuck no,
Bill Kawer, and Mike Tomlin. So all three of those
guys were coordinators and a younger coaches when they were
with their prior teams. So we'll see which direction they go.
But having nine spots now in the NFL, it's just
incredible to have this many opening head coaching jobs available
(36:07):
and or see what these play out.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Last thing for you, Tom, the Rams, they faced down
potential real ugly exit from the postseason, being a double
digit favorite and maybe losing to Carolina. Matthew Stafford Rallies
gets the win in your experience, like how I don't
want to say valuable, but is there something to that
when in an early round you're able to kind of
(36:29):
overcome what looks to be an obstacle that really could
have crushed what looks to be a promising path for
them to get back to the super Bowl. And when
you look at who's left, kind of what do you
make of who's in front of them?
Speaker 5 (36:42):
Yeah, I totally saw that against Carolina. I mean that
it was a great environment in Carolina hadn't been in
the playoffs in a long time.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
The stadium was loud.
Speaker 5 (36:51):
Carolina really has done a lot with a little there.
Really impressed with Dave Canal so what he's done with
the Panthers. But just what you said, I really felt
like the Rams, having a veteran head coach, a veteran quarterback,
a really well coached defense, they just handled the situation
and handled it appropriately. And it wasn't easy because they
still have that you know that special teams concerned. The
(37:13):
margins gets so thin in the playoffs and the farther
advance they get thinner and thinner. So but they overcame it.
And a lot of it's because of the quarterback and
the head coach. But I like their chances this year.
I mean not, you know, even taking Stafford on of it.
I mean, they've got two running backs like a two
headed monster with with Williams a Korum. I love how
they use Pooka Nakua in the run game, almost like
(37:35):
the Delaware wing t wing back, so they use them
like that. And then obvious he's getting ten eleven twelve
balls a game. And between Devontae Adams and then the
two tight ends, they have a lot of different ways
to go on offense. And then I love Chris Shula
and what they're doing on defense. So to me, they're
they're they're definitely I have a chance to win a
championship with this team. But yeah, they had to get
through that first game, but I think their experience really
(37:57):
pulled them through.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
The one and only come to us, our friend. You
can listen to them on Serious XM NFL Radio for
the NFL is this area of expertise that and of
course Corona Del mar C Kings Football. We appreciate your
tom and have a wonderful.

Thank you, Yes, sir, we will be right back with
mar Petros and money. We've got some text usos coming up.
Neck We've got dead and a live guy. Birthday of
the Day.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Hello PMS listener, did you know AM five seventy LA

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Let you some money five Sports Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio Big Thinking to Tom t Lasco.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Chargers have moved on and somebody that doesn't care about
our problems.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
No, Chargers have moved on from offensive coordinator Greg Roman,
relieved of his duties earlier today. Rams still alive in
the playoffs taken on the Bears on Sunday. Steelers are
out of the playoffs. The defense of the Texans scored
twelve points Aaron Rodgers and the Steeler offense scored six.
So Mike Tomlin has moved on as well. All of
(39:28):
those things discussed further throughout the course of the show.
David Vassa will talk some Dodgers At five PM, Alan
Slee will wow.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
David Vassa was at the event he won the award.
Colin Yee was at that you were at, that I
was at. Dave was the man of the hour, that
Jim Hill was at. Steven Nelson was the man of
the hour. Matt is a little angry that we didn't win.
They pressured us for talk Show of the Year. You
send us. He wasn't even nominated for play by Play
at the Year.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Not I was not one of the four non one
of the only categories to have four nominees.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
And Isaac Lohenrock had to stand in the corner and
stare at the wall like the end of the Blair
Witch Project. When Matt arrived to sit at he tried
to sit at his table.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
You took his seat. Eventually, I told him to sit
down and finish his meal.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
When I got there, he was up and I sat down.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
He was nominated for play by Play Voice of the
Year for his work with Angel City FC, So maybe
that's why he got the seat at the table.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
I did not. I don't know. You know. I got
there after you. Yeah, I have some text, does them did?
Brought to you by your so Toyota dealers. We make
it easy. I love how you two guys are confused
while you get treated like crap and then proceed to
(40:47):
make fun of everybody and every other sport point. What
do you mean, it's a fair point.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
In half the people that we know that we're there
have been texting us throughout the first hour of the
show because they're listening, because they knew this was going
to happen.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Man, first, Matt has to watch his Chargers loose, doesn't
land in La till four am. Sounds like he's gonna
crash out yesterday talking about the Chargers loss, and then
can't even get a seat at the table. That poor bastard. Well,
when he saw that we seated in Vietnam, veteran like
callin ye right in his dusky jacket A.
Speaker 3 (41:30):
You and Tim had I it's all starting to come
together for me too. You and Tim had not even
arrived yet. And I said to Dave Weis, I was like, Hey,
where where am I supposed to sit? And He's like,
I don't know, man, I think we just like you know,
we we miscounted. I'm really sorry, I'll find you a seat.
I'm like, all right, whatever. And I went and started
chatting with some some of our old friends, and I
(41:51):
was talking to like Billy. Now, a lot of people
there All of a sudden, I look up and I
was like, hey, are Petrols and Tim here yet? And
it's like He's like, no, they're not here yet. So
I thought maybe he put you at the same table.
And then I get done talking to Billy Mack. I
look over Tim sitting down mowing some food. Ilo is
standing in the corner. You're sitting at the table, Like,
wait a minute. She didn't even offer me one of
(42:11):
the seats. You know what I said, I was like,
where's Matt. He found his way to the Charger's table
where he hasn't been nominated for play by play Voice
of the Year or Call of the Year.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
But you do work for the Chargers. That was apropos.
Maybe that was It's not like you were sitting with
the Ducks. No, I don't work for anybody else there.
I used to. I used to work for USC, used
to work you know, some local stuff with sit with
Fred if can't be seen at a table. Oh this
(42:42):
is about yesterday, Matt, where you talked about the guy
on the bus eating his chicken parm This says, Hey,
Petros for lunch, I'm having some spinach, mozzarella, raviolis and
texas garlic toast. But is this okay? With Matt the
monitor Smith.
Speaker 3 (42:59):
It's very similar to the radio station, right. The studios
don't breathe, there's no ventilation, all right, But no one
else complains about it other than I just happen to
have the platform. I would assume others will go home
and complain that their significant others or something. I just
happened to have this platform here. My wife doesn't want
to hear it when I come home. You're, unfortunately the
(43:21):
recipient of all of my gripes, because you know, while
you've had to deal with me for twenty years, she's
had to deal with me for some thirty two years.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
She should sit here and do the show. You see
what it's like. This says, this is about the urinal.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
Troughs, Oh yes, that are up for sale from the
high Mark Stadium in Buffalo where the Bills play.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
And we of course remember the troughs at the Coliseum
and Dodger Dodger Stadium. This is we are your Dodger
show of record. As you know, Dodgers championship back to
back to back. Right here, Stevid Nelson call the year David.
Speaker 3 (43:51):
Vesse Southern California Sports Bross Broadcasters, talk show host of
the Year.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Pe on my first trip to October Fest in Munich,
I had giant tents that were the bathrooms, and the
man's tent had urninal troughs. I watched a man vomit
on himself and then proceed to pass out and fall
in the trough. No one stopped peeing and no one
touched it, but we did alert security to the fact
after we finished peeing. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
That's what's great about the trough that paints a wonderful picture.
Thank yous. Why troughs that couldn't happen in individual journals
with partitions between them?
Speaker 2 (44:27):
Hey, Pete podcasts and yesterday's show, And I can't think
of a single reason to support a urinal trough except
for one thing Packer peekin. But I guess I should
be surprised. Shouldn't be surprised since you guys are world
renowned pool smokers, Asin Mondy show that Peter Gazing.
Speaker 3 (44:46):
That's right, show of record, that's right. You get into
the trough, you look to your right and you say, hey,
like what you're working with there? You want to talk
about it? You got a license with that an uncomfortable
forty five seconds. What's better than that? We're trying. We
do have an event coming up a week from Thursday. Yes,
(45:09):
we will be at the Irvine BJ's restaurant in brew
House and say three to six show. We're very much
looking forward to it.
Speaker 4 (45:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
We talk to local mayors and stuff like that when
we go to shows, because the bjys in Irvine is
only you only know you're in Irvine if there's like
local politics going on, because every BJ's on the inside
is like every other beach. Right.
Speaker 3 (45:31):
Uh, we've had Farah Khan former mayor. Yeah on Watson
Don city controller or whatever whatever. Yeah, and now the
mayor's a guy named Larry Agrin who's old. And this
guy might know Larry Agrin. This text comes from Irvine, okay,
And it says Larry Agrin is stiffer than flat Stanley
and he has no clue about great sports talk.
Speaker 2 (45:53):
So I'm a little more sports talks.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
Quarterback at North Hollywood High he was the quarterback, but
he is eighty one one. Those two things work. One
is a real big news item and the other is
a real big news item. Both things could really help
us or heart us now understand stiffer than flat Stanley
is good for the petros in mind, I don't think
it is, because it'll be incredibly uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
And we live for those I don't want to. I
don't want to do it. Hey, Larry, how about that?
Farah Huh? Farah Kahn? How about having to follow that?
Talking about easy to follow? Somebody Farah Khan making all
kinds of national political statements when we need some different
things here in Irvine that had nothing to do with
(46:38):
national politics. Farahkahn, what's going on with the great park? Larry? Huh?
What where's that balloon? Please share with Tim Kates that
I didn't have to wait in line to get into
the Louis Vaton store in Florence, but when they looked
at my lady's account, I did have to wait three hours. Well,
they brought her everything in the store to look at.
(47:01):
At least they had champagne for me. Oh, is that
a rich listener? Hey, why don't you stroke a check
for us? They're rich guy, Hey, Richie rich why don't
you stroke a check?
Speaker 3 (47:11):
You stroke a stroker, You stroke a check to the
Southern California sports broadcasters for a sixty tickets to a
Charger game or a Rams game or a Dodger game.
Then maybe we'll win the talk shows.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
Well, they didn't get a dime from us, Matt, and
that's why we didn't why we didn't win? Did they
get a dime from Dave Bess? Look at this text?
You bitches are just hating. You jerk around all day
playing grab ass and wonder why you didn't get a
participation trophy? Please? Holy crap. Yeah, you didn't know your
(47:43):
boys a petterrass Poxter. I did not know that he
was Poindexter. Poindexter's a pedaph like we last doing thirty
something and all that that that was the same bude.
The first text I got was Poindexter's of the petter as.
I had no idea that it was the same dude
that he was in Revenge of the Nerds. Holy cow,
(48:04):
did I miss the drink tickets part of the night.
Drink tickets? Yeah? Where were there drink tickets distributed at
some point? Because I did see vassays was their booze?
Father in law had a nice glass of white? Did
he really? It seemed that way there was alcohol there.
I didn't see anything. I saw tea.
Speaker 3 (48:22):
Yeah, I saw an Arnold Palmer lemonade. I did not
see any alcohol, though that might have been lemonade in
a wineglass.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
Too chee coffee.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
There were no drink tickets, I don't believe, so I
did not see a bar. I saw a table with lemonade,
iced tea, and Arnold Palmer's.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
Well, I'm humiliated now too, But what's the take to
get a drinker on this place? I thought that I
might have a tasty bloody mary. That's what I never
ended up having one, but I thought that, hey, you
know what, some one good thing that could come out
of this, some strange wool.
Speaker 3 (49:01):
Two, I'm sorry, where are you gonna get this strange wool?
Of the three hundred people there, two hundred and ninety
nine of them were men.
Speaker 2 (49:11):
One good thing could come out of this. We could
get some strange wool.
Speaker 3 (49:15):
That, by the way, was one of my favorite moments
of the of the afternoon. And as we acknowledge the
Hall of Fame, the inductees already in the Hall of
Fame currently alive, twenty six men.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
And one woman. That's like one woman one woman.
Speaker 3 (49:35):
Maybe don't mention that, just say, hey, there's twenty seven
living members of our spleothern California Sports Broadcasters Hall of.
Speaker 2 (49:40):
Fame, twenty six men and one woman. What were we thinking?
All right, we'll have your word number song of the day,
stell the cup. We're gonna talk to slei Wah. We
have to talk to Sleiwah because look, I don't want
to get into it with Sleewan no Lake, but I've
(50:01):
been fully indoctrinated at this point by anti Lebron social media.
Like every time I open social media, it's another video
of Lebron doing something terrible. We're in a patch that

Being checked repeatedly at the event. Many folks acknowledged Collin ye.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Let's just get through our normal housekeeping and then we
can discuss what the people want. The people, I don't
think anybody cares.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
No, they they wouldn't care if we won. The fact
that we lost. We we did expect to win.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I didn't expect that. You did. You expected to win.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I expected to win because we were peppered with emails
and phone calls repeatedly about our presence being important. And
that has not happened since the last time we won,
which I think was twenty twenty two or twenty one.
No award, twenty twenty COVID year, nothing like we had
(02:13):
experience before. They just don't even call us. Look at
whatever those guys don't come, leave them alone this year.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Former Chargers general manager, former Raiders general manager, now media
superstar on the NFL channel, on the serious XM.
Speaker 2 (04:18):

Speaker 2 (04:32):
To finish all the minutes of the meeting. Little more housekeeping.
We are your home of the NFL playoffs. We are
we got it all three divisional games this weekend, not
the Rams. We are your home of Super Bowl sixty Sunday,
February sixth. We got all that because he's licking his
wounds joining us as our producer today. Also a absolutely
(05:01):
indispensable call from a seventy LA Sports and the Dodgers
swinging swords like Shinobi, our Japanese Chinese friend calling. I'm
sure he was doing some networking.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I would like to hope so. Seemed like a very
popular person at the Southern California Sports Broadcasters Award luncheon.
Colin Yee name checked by multiple folks that made their
way on stage and approached the lecture. Colin ye was
shouted out, thanks for being here, Colin, thank you.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
I was surprised at how many shout outs I got. Yeah,
a little embarrassing, shouldn't be you should be proud.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Well, the Dodgers were cleaning up. Yeah, and when the
Dodgers clean up, Colin Yee gets name checked.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
It's so different from years past at the SCSB, when
the Kings would just clean house and win everything. Well,
they still got their lune, they still got there, when
Nick Nixon still got it.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
You know, they're always gonna get something. I mean, is
it even a broadcast? It's streams? Should they even be
able to where win a broadcast award? If it's a stream,
you see him there on your stream.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Right there on your stream. Well the stream can be
mirrored on your television, which then makes it a sup
a broad broadcast. Yeah, it's like a personal broad.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I'm sorry, I was being very snarky. Then I think
we all are. Well. Colin Yee is here, He's not
being snarky at all. Here's what happened, folks. For those
of you that don't know, Uh and Rob I have
not talked about it a lot. You know, Ronnie's been
sitting here all day with his puzzo on his hand.
He doesn't care. You know. Ronnie's had to go to
work and carry Rogan and Rodney around, like Billaneer up
and down the court, right man, Like Bob Lanier say a.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Hell of a load too, that you're carrying up and
down the court. I got to say, not Bill Laimbier,
but Bob Lanier. I think they both are applicable.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah, So that's what Ronnie's been doing. But the rest
of us, most everybody here was at the California Southern
California Sports Broadcasters Award right down the street here in Burbank,
at the house that Bob Hope built, Lakeside Country Club,
which is very nice and Matt incredibly Matt and I
(07:05):
were invited by the guy who's the president, El Presidente,
just a notch below Barstool Sports as far as popularity,
as far as sports presidents go. Yeah, in the Southern
California Sports Broadcasters, Pete Arbogast also known as Arbo Blast,
the USC play by play man who also does a
(07:28):
lot of great work at Marshall High, his alma mater.
But Pete Arbaghast, he's the president some advice and practice
I like to help young broadcasters. They I may not
want my advice, but I'll give it. Do you do? So?
Pete Arbagast was there as the MC because it's basically
(07:50):
his event. And Matt and I have won now and
and you know, I gotta be honest, and I'm not
even making this up because a lot has happened over
the years. We've done this a long time.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
For twentieth year and twenty years we had the possibility
of being nominated for this award, the IRV case a
Sports Talk Show of the Year.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Well, I was up for something. I was up for
Analyst of the Year for local analysis from the Challenge,
and they did a big deal about it. This was
a long and I didn't remember this moment until I
was walking in after I gave my car to the valet,
and I was like, oh my god, that's right. That
(08:31):
was the last time I was here, and this is
why I've never been back. And you weren't there. It
was I went and my dad went, I brought my
dad right, and we had a couple of drinks and
what happened always used to happen because Bob Miller was
in charge back then. Clean house they gave you, but
(08:53):
they called me and acted like you need to be here.
You he sold a table to me. I had my
dad there, and then the hockey guy won and the
dawn started to pop.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Off wall the hockey Guy's given his exception.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Jim Fox was given his speech and the dawn started
to pop off and hackle him, and I said, we
got to go. And it was the same kind of deal,
except I had a bloody marry or two and we
laughed in shame, really for sure. And that was like years,
twenty five year years. No, I mean it was we
were doing our show because that game.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Year because neither of us have been there. Well, no,
we have been there once. We were there before. Yeah,
when they told us we had to come, hint, hint,
and it was we were new. Chris Roberts told us
it'd be great if we were there.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
And we showed up and we didn't win. We never
we haven't won.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
We have not well, we've won three times, but we
weren't there. No, we have never David Vasse accepted our
award once, and I believe Tim Kates has accepted our
award twice.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, but it was fifteen years ago that I remember.
I brought my dad. I lost. I wasn't upset, I
didn't care us. My dad was livid and started barking
at the No one watches hockey hockey, you know, and
I was just like, oh no, we got to go,
you know, and all the Kings people started craning their
necks over and me and my dad together weigh about
(10:15):
five hundred and ten pounds, so we needed to, like,
you know, get out of there like two cows. And
that was the last So I remembered. It hit me
and then I was like, oh no. I sat down
at our table and I sat next to Blackmore and
I said, the last time I was here is like, yeah,
your dad freaked out and you had to leave because
(10:37):
you lost. I was like, how do you remember. I
totally forgot about that, And even when we were we
talked about this for like two or three days before
the New year, and I totally forgot that. I made
a fool of myself and my family. One of the
last times we were there now. The other time when
you and I were there was a lot like this
where we were just we were just dying of them
(11:00):
from the speeches. We left early. We were worried about
the show. I believe great sports talk, that's what takes president.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
And we went, I believe, if if my memory starts correct,
we rent. We went because our boss Don Martin got
a table, got a table, the can't the Loose Cannons
were up for an.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Award, and.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
There, guys, we're going to support Michael Vick and Steve
they're gonna win this year and I want you there
for it. You gotta go, and and that's why we went, right, okay,
per the insistence of our former boss, Don Martin. We
were not up for the award. We have never gone
when we were up for the award. I think Chris
Roberts told us that we were going to win and
(11:41):
we wanted. Something came up. We were supposed to go,
and we ended up not that's misspelled my name, misspelled
your name. Either you were on the road for something
or I was on the right. Anyway, I stopped going
because I was humilian. Well, you want to make a
fool of myself humiliation made my dad buy like a
whole table, and then I didn't get the war, and
then he was like a couple drinks deep getting all mad.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
It was a long drive ball after the show.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Let me tell you, I knew I was in trouble
today when I showed up and there wasn't a seat
at the table.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I was like, where am I supposed to sit?
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Guys, and Isaac Lohenkron got all uncomfortable and he like
lifts his He's got like a napkin tucked into his
suit and he's like, I'll stand up, you can have
my chair.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I was like, Ilo sit out. By the time I
arrived with her food, he was done eating, so he
moved for me.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
So I was like, I don't even know where the
hell I'm supposed to sit. I took a seat at
the charger's table. I got Sean Cody pumping his fist.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Shohn Cody was excited to win, right, And then I
got a Ducks He ran through a wall like an
ASTech wrestler.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Oh, he attacked the stage. I mean he closed that
gap in three seconds from his table to the stage.
And then I got a Ducks guy yelling at me.
Because I'm not standing in a plodding. When they announced
Ducks announcer Steve Carroll, he looked right at me and
he goes, stand happen.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Nobody else? Is anybody you? Why am I the a
hole that's not standing in a Blaudi? Well? Colin Yee
was at our table, Matt.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
And I in front of me. John Ireland won for
play by play Voice of the Year, an award for
which I was not even nominated.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
But you are a play by play guy. Amiliation, sheer humiliation.
There were other play by play guys that were there
that were not nominated.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Like who never was never there? Yeah, oh that's unfortunate.
I didn't see him. Billy Mack was there, Billy Mack
and he lost. He was nominated though, Yeah, I was
not nominated. Ilo was acknowledged as the voice of Angel City.
(13:43):
I didn't get acknowledged by anybody. Colin got shouted out
from the stage. I mean it was sheer humiliation. I
think all the fellow Charger employees is I just took
one of their seats. I was like, hey, guys, I'm
gonna sit with you. I don't have a table, I
don't have a seat at the freaking am five to
seven LA sports table. I'm just gonna squat with you
guys the loser.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
That I am nice of the Chargers to get it table.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I appreciate that classy exactly, and then to be lectured
by Pete arbo Gas. You know, some teams in town
have given the SCSB tickets so we don't have to
get in our suits and be all stuffy and commiserate.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
When we enjoy a game a game, and it would
be nice. You have us sixty or seventy tickets, six
sixty tickets, sixty tickets? What is it? Elementary school day
at the Street Parks game? You know, it'd be nice
if some of the other teams in town would take
care of the SCSB like these other programs out you.
(14:37):
Ricky for the Chargers looked at me, He's like, is
he serious? Seventy tickets? Like yeah, I think he's pulling
you out right now, Ricky calling calling you out? You
were there? Is there anything you want to say that
wasn't true? I was there. I can be in Dallas.
I felt a lot of warmth toward Matt. I thought
people were warmth towards that. It was a wonderful event.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
I felt a little under dressed until I should all
Matt and Petros. I walked in there super self conscious.
I'm like, everyone's in a suit. Damn you were black.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Matt and I are dressed like we were in a
golf club, except I'm wearing black jeans and what if
I was drown We're both wearing black jeans. But you said,
but you you haven't. They're black. But you you were
dressed like all he wanted was something to eat. You're
dressed like Rambo. You got the I was in Vietnam,
(15:30):
hard luck jacket on right, and I have no as
a young broadcaster is a guy who should be the
next play by play, got to get a job.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
He wears a suit for his high school sports broadcast,
so the man has us Colin, he has suit?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Why did you dress like all he wanted was something
to eat? As I made a mistake? You didn't? I
mean I walked in and yeah, I got I'm not
gonna lie is He left because he's brooding. But I
got Tim Kats. I mean last night he called me
about something and I had a drink, so I was
a little loose and he was like, I think I'm
(16:03):
gonna wear a sports coat tomorrow. And I called him,
you know, maybe some slurs, like you know you should
you like if you but I'm gonna, I think I
threatened him, like go ahead, wear sports cause see how
you get treated by me, son of a bitch. You know,
I really got you know, I'd had a drink. You know,
I was a little looser with the lips. I didn't
come here to rescue Rambo from you. I came here
(16:25):
to rescue you from him. And then this morning Kate
was like, I'm gonna be so underdressed and it was
like nine. I was like, dude, go home, you live
in Burdbank, put on your freaking dumb ass sports coat
and fine wear a suit. So he did, he went.
He went.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
He's like and then I called him. He's like, like,
I'm wearing a tie. Okay, you didn't wear a tie.
You wear a freaking check shirt, a pattern suit.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
John Ireland was in a suit.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yes, all the people that well know Sean Cody was
in a rib tea. Yeah, flexing.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
That was like, wasn't it though I don't believe it
was a was it? I believed? And you got that physique?
Why not?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Ollie wanted was something to eat. I'll get up Matt,
you can have him. I say, eat your food. I
low Dave Wiese and his hair. So we mean like,
I'm sorry we didn't get I didn't get a count
in time. I'm sorry. We were at the broadcaster's dinner.
Our boss Brian Long was there, Dave Weise, Brian Blackmore.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
I feel bad I might have taken Matt's seat because
I think I was a late.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Well, we wanted you to net you need that seat,
but dressed up like a homeless veteran like me, I
appreciate that. No, you look like you were. You look
like that got belong here in Lakeside? Is he eating
the food for freak? Because he's a number at Lakeside?
Who's that at the charge I know he's not up
for any awards. Who's that at the charger table with
(17:53):
his hair flume?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
So we were there and we were humiliated, Well we
were humillionated. We were up for an award talk show.
Think about that talk show of the year of the year.
We do PM drive in Los Angeles for twenty years.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
We're up. This is our twentieth year. It is an
award we've won in the past we have. So we
are up for Talk Show of the Year.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Against a pregame and a post game.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Up a very incestual field as our producer was against us,
Tim Kates as Talk Show of the Year Dodger free Back,
and then David Vasse was against us with Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Now.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I don't think Dave has ever won. Colin Yee connected
with all three of the shows, he could have, you know,
gone up and accepted the award. If anybody won, has
Dave ever won? I don't believe. So Okay and Dave
had a banner year with the Dodgers. I expected Dave
to win, even though I threw my pen at anger
(19:00):
at the at the.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Table unnecessary shot at the end though from Dave, well,
I think it's expected toward me.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
I think it's expected. Well, you're doing You threw your pen,
he saw your emotionally affected and well I.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Wanted to keep the Papadagas tradition of acting like idiots.
He is like shark, blood and water. Yeah, exactly, sorry,
pictures next year, and everybody's like.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
No.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I felt like it was an afternoon of sheer humiliation.
Our name was sandwiched in the middle as a nominee.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Come with me, they opened your feel she humiliation.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
John Ireland sitting right in front of me, he's presenting award.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I mean, you know, they should have expect you to win.
They should have put you up for play by play.
He got the Call of the Year nomination, you know
what I mean. But he's on the board, on the board,
He's on the board. He's in the Hall of Fame.
Mason and Ireland are in the Southern California Sports Broadcasting
Hall of Fame, which is kind of weird. If you're
John Ireland, you're in the Hall of Fame, and yet
(20:12):
you're still accepting other rewards, right, It's like, is that prudent?
But David Vasse won. We're proud of him. We lost
it for him. Callin Yee wins. Tim Kate's brooding at
the Compass Media Cave down the street.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Stephen Nelson won for his broadcast at Game seven here
on a five seven to LA Sports. Very nice, humble speech, beautiful,
beautiful delivery by Stephen Nelson, acknowledging Colin Ye, Dwayne McDonald,
Tim Dave.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I didn't eat the food, was it bad?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
I didn't eat the food either. Because I was told
it might be gone. I was told you better go
get that food right now or it would be gone.
And I was like, well, I don't know where to eat.
I got no seat. I'm not gonna stand and eat
like a homeless person that just snuck in here or
a golfer the just put eighteen in the books and
decided to come snag some buffet chicken. I thought about
(21:06):
just attacking a slice of bread and some lukewarm butter
that would spread easy, and I didn't even do that.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I mean, it was weird. I mean, just to see
Billy McDonald north of Crypto, which is where he does
not travel. I mean, he does not travel north of
Crypto unless he's on the plane of Sacramento or Golden
State with the Lakers. So then we missed Hartman. We
did miss We missed Steve Hartman's lifetime achievement since Harvey
Hyde went thirty minutes. Because Harvey Hyde's Lifetime Achievement speech
(21:36):
was so so long and talked deeply about radio sponsorship
in Las Vegas and sales and what it was like
to be a head coach at UNLV and every time
you blinked your eyes and opened him up. Pete Arbogas
got closer with Harvey Hyde with the hook. Oh he
was the Sandman from from the Apollo Man. I just
(21:56):
I thought I was gonna start hearing if Harvey hide,
if Harvey High doesn't go like that long we get Hartman.
I think that we were there for the whole thing. Yes,
and we get Steve Hartman's speech, but alas we did not.
We did get David Vasse's speech. It was beautiful. We
showed love to Brian Long, our new program director. It
treats people like humans, bead like, treats us like humans. Yes,
(22:24):
And everybody at the table was nodding like, yeah, yeah,
he does wear a great point. We're all human beings.
That's a great point.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
My wife said, I wasn't supposed to go along, but
I'm not listening to her today.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
All Right, Harvey, that's gonna do it. John Ireland introduced
Jimmy Hill for a Lifetime Achievement award. Talked about the
Freedom Train. Interestine anecdote about the Freedom train that they
used to the slaves.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
If you're not aware of what that is, let me
share with you. Suppose we start in Georgia and you
would hop house to.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
House from South Carolina. Make your way up. You know Caro,
Carolina is where they had the fire eaters. They were
dead set on slavery.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Through the Free territory. It's a natural train north of
the Rappahannock. Sweetheart, put that phone down, stopped.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Another banquet's coming. Gone. Was it great for us? No?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Was it wildly entertaining. Absolutely, it was a movable feast,
like a mother effort.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I can't believe I'm not nominated, and they sent me
next to all these people. We'll be back. They kept
coming back to their table, like, dude.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Two be fourteen is where it's at, right, mat Yeah, right, guys,
it's where it's at.

I've also had the trigger pulled on me. That was
pretty good.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Well, you know with strikes and gutters, you know, someday
you eat the bear and some day the bear eats you.
And speaking of that, so what they say, Yeah, everybody
says that some day you have bear for dinner, some
days the bear that's you for dinner. Tell us Tom,
(25:45):
how surprised were you by the Chargers performance out in
New England? Some people that I know thought they matched
up pretty well.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Turns out, oh, I was really surprised, and obviously they were.
Through this whole year on offense, they've had to deal
with a lot of adversity. Like everybody knows. You know
that they lost both their starting tackles, but they just
weren't starting tackles. They're all pro football type tackles. Now
what I probably miss, you know, I think having Omary
(26:13):
and Hampton out with injury, I think that affected him
a lot more than people talked about. He's a big
part of how they run that offense. But I would
just the point know, Justin just didn't play well, and
you know it happens from time to time. Doesn't have
very often with him, but looking at that game. I
didn't think Drake May played great either. I mean, Drake
May took five sacks at interception, he put two balls
(26:35):
in the ground, but he made a big throw to
Hunter Henry, and he just consistently took checkdowns. And there's
a big difference when May was checking it down to
Remindre Stevenson and treviaon Henderson versus justin checking it down
to Tyger Fisk. So just what they weren't going the
same type of easy throws, the same type of chunkyards
on an easy throw. So but I was a probably
(26:58):
the defense played very well like they had all year,
and offensively, it just wasn't their day and it was
it was hard to watch, but that's the nature of
the playoffs. So these games, they get bigger and bigger
as you move, as you move through and you know,
whatever your weakness is, it tends to get magnified in
the playoffs, and that's kind of what happened to the Chargers.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
How hard is it tom to try to figure out
the answers to those questions in game? You know, you
go into the half, it's six to three, and it
felt like the Patriots figured it out right. They kind
of you know, got some easy buttons for Drake May,
they found some explosives, and it felt like the Chargers
were kind of trying to do the same things they
were doing in the first half. Is it just too
(27:36):
hard to get out of what you thought you were
going to be able to do if you're not able
to or what goes into trying to overcome some of
those obstacles.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
No, I mean, typically even before you get into the game,
you have your game plan, but you also have some
different plans D, C and D depending on what your
opponent's going to do.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
And then once you're in.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Game, you know, halftimes, as you guys know, halftimes are short.
I mean it's a twelve and a halftime, and you know,
a couple of things just getting to the locker room
and getting back out again. So a lot of the
adjustments will happen in between series. I mean, they have
they have the still photos or the video on the
sideline on the iPads, and they can make adjustments in
real time, but also the defense of making adjustments at
(28:19):
the same time, so it's a it's a cat and
mouse game throughout the whole game. And it just seemed
like the Chargers, they just couldn't get in front of it.
And look, you know Greg, Greg Roman, and he was
full disclosure. He was a college teammate of mine. We
both started with the Carolina Panthers the same year in
nineteen ninety five. And his work ethic, attention to detail
is outstanding, it really is.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Really.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
I gave him a lot of credit for what he
was able to do this year with some of the
issues that had on offense. Justin had a tremendous year
until the last game. But such as life in the NFL,
the emotions of the past game, you know, kind of
crop up and you move on.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
So you know, with that, as you know, kind of
a pretext for this question, what do you make of what?
And he's a guy that you know, he was on
your team. Robert Splane what he said after the game
that I don't know if you saw it, but he
said he was talking to some Charger players after and
they said they didn't know what the heck they were
looking at, that they couldn't figure the coverages out. Is
that something that sounds right to you? And if that's
(29:17):
the case, kind of what would go into that happening
in a game of that magnitude.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
Honestly, it kind of seems like your typical postgame banter
that you know may have been taken a little bit
out of context.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
I haven't been able to see the coaches copy yet
the All twenty two, so you know, on TV it's
hard to see the routes developed and see where if
there was separation, if there were players coming open. I
just know from their offense, I mean, running back to
average less than three arths per carry, and and for
what with the Charges have done this year and how
they run their offense, it's hard to get moving when
(29:52):
when you can't get anything going in the run game.
There were some clean pockets in the first half, but
you know, Justin's normally decisive, but it just didn't seem
like you had anywhere to get with the ball. And
then the second half it just seemed like the Patriots
who didn't really I didn't think pressure that well in
the first half of the second half, they kind of
saw blooding the water and they they brought it from everywhere,
and maybe they brought some pittens that the Charger had
(30:15):
not seen before at their opportune time, and you saw
the result.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
The one and only. Tom to leasco is our guest.
You were in Las Vegas. You had a great draft
in twenty twenty four. Uh, they've turned it over again
at head coach. What do they need? Do they need
a young guy? Did they need like an old angry
guy like Kubiak? Did they need like one of these
offensive guys that looks really quoft? You know, like, what
(30:44):
what do you think I like the hair? I'm at Lafleur, Yeah, Lafloor.
You know, yeah, quaft, offensive guy.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
They just need some stability. That's the biggest thing. I
thought that's what Petka was going to bring to them
last year. But as you guys could see, like it
just didn't click this year. And I could see you
hate to keep making these moves.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
The one and done, so you don't want to see that.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
But I think everyone can see it just didn't click
this year. So at this point, but they have the
first pick in the draft, they're going to take a quarterback,
so they're finally going to have a quarterback to build around,
which they haven't had really since Derek Carr. So they
have that piece and now it's just about getting some
stability at the top from the head coach, and it
doesn't matter if it's offense, defense or special teams to me,
(31:28):
because there are some really good resources there both stadium wise,
practice facility, incredible fan base, mean worldwide fan base, and
there's a lot of good people in the building. And
I know it firstthand because you're only as good as
the people you work with. So there's support staffs with
training and video and communications and equipment scouting. They're excellent.
Just have to find that stability at the top, and
(31:51):
I think they'll go through the I bet they'll be
much more in the same page this year they kind
of went through last year. I've been a first time GM.
Sometimes things are moving real fast and you feel like
you have to get a head coach hired as quickly
as possible because you need to get all the assistants hired,
and you feel like the seats are going to fill.
But if you take your time, go through your process,
which they're doing right now, you get the right person
(32:12):
the top and hopefully just have the stability there.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
So you've you know, you know what it looks like
at the top of the draft when it's a quarterback
draft and it's Joe Burrow and Tua and Justin Herbert
or you know, some years it's Christian Ponder And you know,
what do you make of this year? They have the
number one pick. I know you haven't probably had a
chance to dig too deep into Fernando Mendoz or Dante
More if he decides to come out. But what do
(32:36):
you make of their options at that position? And what
kind of quarterback draft we have coming up here in
a couple months.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Yeah, I mean it's light. I mean you basically mentioned
the two guys that would be at the top for me.
You know, Ty Simpson I think has some potential, but
I wouldn't see him up there with those two guys yet.
But yeah, I mean the quarterback position, if you need
a quarterback, that's why they get put stuff in the
draft because if you don't draft one, very rarely is
(33:03):
the starter come out and freegency that that is a
winning starter that you can actually acquire, so you're an
half to draft them. So yes, they do get a
little bit pushed up. I think Mendoza is definitely an
NFL starter. I mean, as everyone saw, he looked great
the other night, made some just big time accuracy pinpoint
throws and has all the intelligibles you're looking for, and
(33:25):
I think Dante Moore is really talented. But you also
saw the difference between Mendoza being a three year starter
essentially and Dante Moore being a one year starter and
being nineteen years old. And he has some incredible skill,
but you can see that you may need a little
bit more time to develop. So we'll see if he
stays in school, if he declares for the draft. But
(33:45):
those two guys are really, you know, at the top
of the draft, and then it's very thin after that,
so and there's gonna be more teams that need quarterbacks,
and they are actually quarterbacks available, So after the first pick,
you know, depending on the next quarterback is I would
expect a lot of that city for teams to try
and trade up and get somebody.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
More aging like the cheese and the cheese it commercials
for Dante more. Our friend Tom Telasco joins us. You
know the NFL as old, Jerry Glanville said, stood for
not for long, but for some guys, they're in the
same spot for a long time. You knew something about
longevity with the Chargers, Mike Tomlin, Jim John Harball. Of course,
(34:24):
now both available. Tomlin stepped down to after nineteen years.
Harbaugh was in Baltimore for eighteen. How hard is it
for that guy to get a job somewhere else after
he's known something so stable for so long in a
league that's really not that way, No, not at all.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
I mean really, for both of them, it's an end
of an era, and not just for Pittsburgh and for Baltimore,
but just for head coaching in general, because I don't
think we're going to ever see another head coach spend,
you know, nineteen eighteen straight years with the same team,
even if as good as Sean McVay is, at some point,
you know, you kind of need a reset or recharge
(35:03):
the coaching is. I mean, it's a high pressurized business,
even when you're winning at a consistent level. You know,
VA could coach forever, but just stayed nineteen years with
one team the way Tomlin did. I just think it's
really hard to do. I don't think we're gonna see
it ever again. So but with those two guys went
all the great coaches with uh Putting, Andy Reid and McVeigh,
(35:24):
Tomlin Harbaugh. Like their teams, they always had an identity
and that's the number one thing you have to establish.
So we've got two big time jobs open. You know,
Pittsburgh obviously that job doesn't come open very often. I'm
kind of curious what route they go. You know, Mike
McCarthy is mister Pittsburgh. I'd be really interesting guy there.
And but you know, even though they haven't done a
(35:44):
lot of head coach searches, they typically hire young assistants
from other teams, like I mean, essentially just Chuck no,
Bill Kawer, and Mike Tomlin. So all three of those
guys were coordinators and a younger coaches when they were
with their prior teams. So we'll see which direction they go.
But having nine spots now in the NFL, it's just
incredible to have this many opening head coaching jobs available
(36:07):
and or see what these play out.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Last thing for you, Tom, the Rams, they faced down
potential real ugly exit from the postseason, being a double
digit favorite and maybe losing to Carolina. Matthew Stafford Rallies
gets the win in your experience, like how I don't
want to say valuable, but is there something to that
when in an early round you're able to kind of
(36:29):
overcome what looks to be an obstacle that really could
have crushed what looks to be a promising path for
them to get back to the super Bowl. And when
you look at who's left, kind of what do you
make of who's in front of them?
Speaker 5 (36:42):
Yeah, I totally saw that against Carolina. I mean that
it was a great environment in Carolina hadn't been in
the playoffs in a long time.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
The stadium was loud.
Speaker 5 (36:51):
Carolina really has done a lot with a little there.
Really impressed with Dave Canal so what he's done with
the Panthers. But just what you said, I really felt
like the Rams, having a veteran head coach, a veteran quarterback,
a really well coached defense, they just handled the situation
and handled it appropriately. And it wasn't easy because they
still have that you know that special teams concerned. The
(37:13):
margins gets so thin in the playoffs and the farther
advance they get thinner and thinner. So but they overcame it.
And a lot of it's because of the quarterback and
the head coach. But I like their chances this year.
I mean not, you know, even taking Stafford on of it.
I mean, they've got two running backs like a two
headed monster with with Williams a Korum. I love how
they use Pooka Nakua in the run game, almost like
(37:35):
the Delaware wing t wing back, so they use them
like that. And then obvious he's getting ten eleven twelve
balls a game. And between Devontae Adams and then the
two tight ends, they have a lot of different ways
to go on offense. And then I love Chris Shula
and what they're doing on defense. So to me, they're
they're they're definitely I have a chance to win a
championship with this team. But yeah, they had to get
through that first game, but I think their experience really
(37:57):
pulled them through.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
The one and only come to us, our friend. You
can listen to them on Serious XM NFL Radio for
the NFL is this area of expertise that and of
course Corona Del mar C Kings Football. We appreciate your
tom and have a wonderful.

Thank you, Yes, sir, we will be right back with
mar Petros and money. We've got some text usos coming up.
Neck We've got dead and a live guy. Birthday of
the Day.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Hello PMS listener, did you know AM five seventy LA

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Let you some money five Sports Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio Big Thinking to Tom t Lasco.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Chargers have moved on and somebody that doesn't care about
our problems.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
No, Chargers have moved on from offensive coordinator Greg Roman,
relieved of his duties earlier today. Rams still alive in
the playoffs taken on the Bears on Sunday. Steelers are
out of the playoffs. The defense of the Texans scored
twelve points Aaron Rodgers and the Steeler offense scored six.
So Mike Tomlin has moved on as well. All of
(39:28):
those things discussed further throughout the course of the show.
David Vassa will talk some Dodgers At five PM, Alan
Slee will wow.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
David Vassa was at the event he won the award.
Colin Yee was at that you were at, that I
was at. Dave was the man of the hour, that
Jim Hill was at. Steven Nelson was the man of
the hour. Matt is a little angry that we didn't win.
They pressured us for talk Show of the Year. You
send us. He wasn't even nominated for play by Play
at the Year.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Not I was not one of the four non one
of the only categories to have four nominees.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
And Isaac Lohenrock had to stand in the corner and
stare at the wall like the end of the Blair
Witch Project. When Matt arrived to sit at he tried
to sit at his table.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
You took his seat. Eventually, I told him to sit
down and finish his meal.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
When I got there, he was up and I sat down.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
He was nominated for play by Play Voice of the
Year for his work with Angel City FC, So maybe
that's why he got the seat at the table.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
I did not. I don't know. You know. I got
there after you. Yeah, I have some text, does them did?
Brought to you by your so Toyota dealers. We make
it easy. I love how you two guys are confused
while you get treated like crap and then proceed to
(40:47):
make fun of everybody and every other sport point. What
do you mean, it's a fair point.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
In half the people that we know that we're there
have been texting us throughout the first hour of the
show because they're listening, because they knew this was going
to happen.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Man, first, Matt has to watch his Chargers loose, doesn't
land in La till four am. Sounds like he's gonna
crash out yesterday talking about the Chargers loss, and then
can't even get a seat at the table. That poor bastard. Well,
when he saw that we seated in Vietnam, veteran like
callin ye right in his dusky jacket A.
Speaker 3 (41:30):
You and Tim had I it's all starting to come
together for me too. You and Tim had not even
arrived yet. And I said to Dave Weis, I was like, Hey,
where where am I supposed to sit? And He's like,
I don't know, man, I think we just like you know,
we we miscounted. I'm really sorry, I'll find you a seat.
I'm like, all right, whatever. And I went and started
chatting with some some of our old friends, and I
(41:51):
was talking to like Billy. Now, a lot of people
there All of a sudden, I look up and I
was like, hey, are Petrols and Tim here yet? And
it's like He's like, no, they're not here yet. So
I thought maybe he put you at the same table.
And then I get done talking to Billy Mack. I
look over Tim sitting down mowing some food. Ilo is
standing in the corner. You're sitting at the table, Like,
wait a minute. She didn't even offer me one of
(42:11):
the seats. You know what I said, I was like,
where's Matt. He found his way to the Charger's table
where he hasn't been nominated for play by play Voice
of the Year or Call of the Year.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
But you do work for the Chargers. That was apropos.
Maybe that was It's not like you were sitting with
the Ducks. No, I don't work for anybody else there.
I used to. I used to work for USC, used
to work you know, some local stuff with sit with
Fred if can't be seen at a table. Oh this
(42:42):
is about yesterday, Matt, where you talked about the guy
on the bus eating his chicken parm This says, Hey,
Petros for lunch, I'm having some spinach, mozzarella, raviolis and
texas garlic toast. But is this okay? With Matt the
monitor Smith.
Speaker 3 (42:59):
It's very similar to the radio station, right. The studios
don't breathe, there's no ventilation, all right, But no one
else complains about it other than I just happen to
have the platform. I would assume others will go home
and complain that their significant others or something. I just
happened to have this platform here. My wife doesn't want
to hear it when I come home. You're, unfortunately the
(43:21):
recipient of all of my gripes, because you know, while
you've had to deal with me for twenty years, she's
had to deal with me for some thirty two years.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
She should sit here and do the show. You see
what it's like. This says, this is about the urinal.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
Troughs, Oh yes, that are up for sale from the
high Mark Stadium in Buffalo where the Bills play.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
And we of course remember the troughs at the Coliseum
and Dodger Dodger Stadium. This is we are your Dodger
show of record. As you know, Dodgers championship back to
back to back. Right here, Stevid Nelson call the year David.
Speaker 3 (43:51):
Vesse Southern California Sports Bross Broadcasters, talk show host of
the Year.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Pe on my first trip to October Fest in Munich,
I had giant tents that were the bathrooms, and the
man's tent had urninal troughs. I watched a man vomit
on himself and then proceed to pass out and fall
in the trough. No one stopped peeing and no one
touched it, but we did alert security to the fact
after we finished peeing. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
That's what's great about the trough that paints a wonderful picture.
Thank yous. Why troughs that couldn't happen in individual journals
with partitions between them?
Speaker 2 (44:27):
Hey, Pete podcasts and yesterday's show, And I can't think
of a single reason to support a urinal trough except
for one thing Packer peekin. But I guess I should
be surprised. Shouldn't be surprised since you guys are world
renowned pool smokers, Asin Mondy show that Peter Gazing.
Speaker 3 (44:46):
That's right, show of record, that's right. You get into
the trough, you look to your right and you say, hey,
like what you're working with there? You want to talk
about it? You got a license with that an uncomfortable
forty five seconds. What's better than that? We're trying. We
do have an event coming up a week from Thursday. Yes,
(45:09):
we will be at the Irvine BJ's restaurant in brew
House and say three to six show. We're very much
looking forward to it.
Speaker 4 (45:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
We talk to local mayors and stuff like that when
we go to shows, because the bjys in Irvine is
only you only know you're in Irvine if there's like
local politics going on, because every BJ's on the inside
is like every other beach. Right.
Speaker 3 (45:31):
Uh, we've had Farah Khan former mayor. Yeah on Watson
Don city controller or whatever whatever. Yeah, and now the
mayor's a guy named Larry Agrin who's old. And this
guy might know Larry Agrin. This text comes from Irvine, okay,
And it says Larry Agrin is stiffer than flat Stanley
and he has no clue about great sports talk.
Speaker 2 (45:53):
So I'm a little more sports talks.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
Quarterback at North Hollywood High he was the quarterback, but
he is eighty one one. Those two things work. One
is a real big news item and the other is
a real big news item. Both things could really help
us or heart us now understand stiffer than flat Stanley
is good for the petros in mind, I don't think
it is, because it'll be incredibly uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
And we live for those I don't want to. I
don't want to do it. Hey, Larry, how about that?
Farah Huh? Farah Kahn? How about having to follow that?
Talking about easy to follow? Somebody Farah Khan making all
kinds of national political statements when we need some different
things here in Irvine that had nothing to do with
(46:38):
national politics. Farahkahn, what's going on with the great park? Larry? Huh?
What where's that balloon? Please share with Tim Kates that
I didn't have to wait in line to get into
the Louis Vaton store in Florence, but when they looked
at my lady's account, I did have to wait three hours. Well,
they brought her everything in the store to look at.
(47:01):
At least they had champagne for me. Oh, is that
a rich listener? Hey, why don't you stroke a check
for us? They're rich guy, Hey, Richie rich why don't
you stroke a check?
Speaker 3 (47:11):
You stroke a stroker, You stroke a check to the
Southern California sports broadcasters for a sixty tickets to a
Charger game or a Rams game or a Dodger game.
Then maybe we'll win the talk shows.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
Well, they didn't get a dime from us, Matt, and
that's why we didn't why we didn't win? Did they
get a dime from Dave Bess? Look at this text?
You bitches are just hating. You jerk around all day
playing grab ass and wonder why you didn't get a
participation trophy? Please? Holy crap. Yeah, you didn't know your
(47:43):
boys a petterrass Poxter. I did not know that he
was Poindexter. Poindexter's a pedaph like we last doing thirty
something and all that that that was the same bude.
The first text I got was Poindexter's of the petter as.
I had no idea that it was the same dude
that he was in Revenge of the Nerds. Holy cow,
(48:04):
did I miss the drink tickets part of the night.
Drink tickets? Yeah? Where were there drink tickets distributed at
some point? Because I did see vassays was their booze?
Father in law had a nice glass of white? Did
he really? It seemed that way there was alcohol there.
I didn't see anything. I saw tea.
Speaker 3 (48:22):
Yeah, I saw an Arnold Palmer lemonade. I did not
see any alcohol, though that might have been lemonade in
a wineglass.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
Too chee coffee.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
There were no drink tickets, I don't believe, so I
did not see a bar. I saw a table with lemonade,
iced tea, and Arnold Palmer's.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
Well, I'm humiliated now too, But what's the take to
get a drinker on this place? I thought that I
might have a tasty bloody mary. That's what I never
ended up having one, but I thought that, hey, you
know what, some one good thing that could come out
of this, some strange wool.
Speaker 3 (49:01):
Two, I'm sorry, where are you gonna get this strange wool?
Of the three hundred people there, two hundred and ninety
nine of them were men.
Speaker 2 (49:11):
One good thing could come out of this. We could
get some strange wool.
Speaker 3 (49:15):
That, by the way, was one of my favorite moments
of the of the afternoon. And as we acknowledge the
Hall of Fame, the inductees already in the Hall of
Fame currently alive, twenty six men.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
And one woman. That's like one woman one woman.
Speaker 3 (49:35):
Maybe don't mention that, just say, hey, there's twenty seven
living members of our spleothern California Sports Broadcasters Hall of.
Speaker 2 (49:40):
Fame, twenty six men and one woman. What were we thinking?
All right, we'll have your word number song of the day,
stell the cup. We're gonna talk to slei Wah. We
have to talk to Sleiwah because look, I don't want
to get into it with Sleewan no Lake, but I've
(50:01):
