(03:16):
sit there for four hours of great sports talk. We

Gabriel Valley more. Well, let's be more specific because it
is quite a ways down to ten, but we are
looking if you could sit, if you could sit in

(03:37):
early people, but there will be something for the lake.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Number of calendars for the Santa Anita books, right, plenty
of books, a lot of books. Thank you for the
physical siglanguage book. Here's another song.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Yeah, so we're cleaning out our office and taking all
of these stuff that we've amassed over the last nineteen years.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
December eighteenth, four hours.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
That's actually a warning to you guys. Take what you
want out in there, because everything else is going taking
us out year.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
You say this every year, and then it comes around
to that time and you're too lazy to pull all
that stuff down to the loading down. Oh I will.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Oh, Kevin figures taking to loading doc.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah, just like he did with the Rancid refrigerator, and he.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Got written on us. The best we got video. We
got video of this employee of yours getting rid of
industrial waste.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Okay, let me see your phone real quick. It's draft.
How do you know that?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
To him? Right, I responded, that was me those me
from Tim's email. He gave me his phone and I
respond was that the one where I was riding around
in the back.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
They had a picture of me.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
That was the one that was a different one.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
That was the one we were at the oe A
sky Space.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yes, yes, it was somebody letting someone out. Are you
sure that's.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
All right? Let's do a couple speaking of being out
on the road, minor sports.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Minor sports stories were great sports talk.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Good amount of T shirts were unloaded Matt, which needed
to happen, and the people that came were deeply rewarded.
Those that came were deeply rewarded, which serves as a
lesson to the ingrates that didn't show up to our
remote yesterday. And you know who you are, somebody who
thought they were going to show up and then didn't.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
How dare you right?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Steve Van Dorn added shoes, Tate's added stuff. I gave
away my own clothing, including a.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Belt, never worn. T shirts worn. You missed out, the warn.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
You missed out, You missed out on what It was
a great sports talk radio show. And almost everybody there
walked away with the prize. If they didn't, born losers,
but we appreciate everybody. Our next Bjay's Extravaganza does not
require surf rock. It will be in West Covina, December eighteenth.
(06:36):
It's a four hour show. And let me tell you
right now, as a person of girth, Matt looks swollen.
And the people of Downey were too scared to race
Matt and his Mazda down firestone or lakewood. They offered
their fear made air stink and Matt wasn't even swolled
up on people. Though I did take pride in wearing
(06:57):
a ridiculous outfit, but it was great. I just want
to say say, our Filipino friends, that Frank Yokayama showed up.
You'll feel, Mike think because nobody in Downy came and
gave us anything, Matt. They didn't give us a proclamation,
no city council person, no.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Chief of police or fire, a paramedic, someone that ran
one of the car lots, custodian at golf and stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
But the mayor of the town of the Filipino DJ.
Cerritos Franco Yokoyama did. He made his way up the
seven to ten and over on one oh five.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
It's not an easy commute. Gotta wear firestone like that
at that time of day. It's always backed up.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
His honorable Mayor of Cerritos coming through again.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yokoyama's the best.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
You know.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Gary and Shannon were a bjays in West Covina last
month and there was a hole to do about them
going out there because the time before that they were
told they needed a permit yes to do the radio
show from there, and so they were going out there
last month no permit, show canceled. They ended up going
out there on a different day.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Not a different day though, I mean they had to
cancel that show day of do we have a permit?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
A laminated permit around their neck while they were doing it.
I'll get on chat. I think, you know, we're like
those NHL guys who used to perform without their helmets,
you know, back in the day. I think we've been
without permits at West Covina like five times.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Grandfather didn't.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I think when Vinny Bong Signor left West Covina with
twelve different meals for his family, we had huge gigantic bag.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Two bags, legitimately two bags.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I think that was unpermitted, uncredentialed. Uh, thank you. Frank
Yokayama came in there like an animal. We have our
regal proclamation from him that hangs here in our beloved studio,
and we love it so much more because of our
sweet Cerritos proclamation. Looking at you West Covina and shame
(08:56):
on you, Downey for shame, for shame. Moving on, I
think we have to do this again because I think
we're waiting for Bob to arrive in town or waiting
for the press conference.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Bob, are we ready?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
It's time for another story.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Sports stories for great sports talk.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Bob, Are we ready?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Bob?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Are we ready?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
We went over it yesterday, Matt, but it bears repeating.
New UCLA head coach Bob Chesney is an East Coast guy,
I mean a real East Coast guy, even more East
coast than Chip Kelly because Chip Kelly had coached for
quite some time at Oregon by the time he was
(09:44):
getting a UCLA job, so he had been on the West.
As we did go over yesterday, his first jobs after
four years at Johns Hopkins as a head coach is
for his job was at this place. And this is
their fight song, Salve Regina.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
This is not their fight. This is how they.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Come out, Matt. They have fireworks and they come out
to this and here come the Seahawks. This is from YouTube.
This is from when they played Slippery Rock a.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
D three.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
This is the school song. It's on Newport Cliff, Rhode Island,
where Matt found not far from where Matt found that
guy that sold the Maraganst beer.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
It's a rail Rhode Island beer against a beer that's
a Rhode Island beer.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Along with the lead singer from Throwing Muses. Lots of
navy types went to uh Salve Regina, a lot of
admirals people like that. And then Matt it bears repeating
where else was Bob? This is all to show that
he has ready no West Coast roots whatsoever. Assumption the Greyhounds.
(11:14):
Where have you heard of assumption before? That's where very
popular former Notre Dame coach and former LSU coach and
former Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly went to school aka Free
my Boy, Brian Kelly, Free my boy.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Hey, Free my boy, part of LSU family. I'm here
with my famille family.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
And everybody gave me such a warm reception and I
haven't even won all my games yet. Family, Family, Free
my boy b K. That's where BK went to college.
But that's where Bob Chesney Bob were we ready was
(11:58):
the head coach the Hounds or D two and then
coach Bob.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
By the way JOHNS Hopkins taking on the stakes of
Salisbury in the second round of the playoffs this week.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I did hear that the Hopkins. Now, the reason you
know that it's a big medical school is they all
wear stethoscopes out there. They fly all over like you
think you've seen mouthpieces dangling. Now John Hopkins' tethoscope. Then
the Holy Cross in Central Mass Patriot League in the
path of Gordy Lockbomb in the path of the Revolutionary War.
(12:34):
Bob dominated the Patriot League like Mel Gibson in the Patriots.
Ready two axes favorite chopping up all those red.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Coats, Patriot oh man, could he twirl them axes, just
chopping redcoats like there's no tomorrow. Shouldn't killed his kid?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
A bunch of his kids? Terrible the Patriot We love it.
Gerard Depardieu underrated in the pat Chesney dominated the Patriot League,
and when Signetti left, James Madison did not hire from
within because he took everybody with him. They hired Bob
(13:16):
Chesney and he went into the sun Belt at Harrisonburg,
Virginia for the Dukes James Madison, named for the fourth President,
Jimmy Madison, in the Shenandoah Valley. That's pretty big school,
twenty two thousand students, dwarfed by UCLA. Of course, the
(13:37):
point is, Matt, this is an East Coast man at.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Little East Coast Swing.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It is a lot of East Coast just like I'm
not gay, but it's a lot of people that are.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah, I'm not gay, so just it's a lot of
people who are.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
There's part of this higher that I really like because
he's obviously a very good coach, and you know how
much I respect the guys that come from small schools.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
And you saw his brother blow the dome off the
Tacoma Dome.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
He tore it off, Kenny Chesney tore the tour, the
roof off the Tacoma Dome. It's been a terrible winter
season because of it. But also the West Coast is
a tricky place, and you the UC system is a
tricky place. How does this guy figure out how to
(14:26):
build a program and the UC system on the West Coast,
let alone fighting it out in the Big ten. So
it shall be seen, but it's a bold higher and
we're happy for Bob. Maybe he is the next Signetti Ucla. Hope. So, Bob,
are we ready? I just like to play all the
different fight songs, especially.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Regina.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
When they come out and the monks start chatting, the
kids go crazy, dude, they start drinking that freaking fermented wine.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Gets you so ACKed up, so fast, tossed those wooden mugs.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
It's great. You get the goblets out.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Oh god, it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
And you know who comes out, Jesus no, but but
almost is old. The guy from the last crusade that
was guarded at the grail, the guy wisely he gave. Yeah,
he gave Indiana Jones the high Sidne when he rolled
out of the temple there. Thank you, that guy, one
of the Knights of Templar. He comes out, all gray
and old, and he watches Salve Regina take the field,
(15:27):
and Bob Chesney calls sprint right option Renuay, over and
over and over, even to the even to the boundary.
Salve Regina.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Now, maybe he'll bring some of those traditions with him,
you know, a little something from each time he comes
on our show.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
He'll be like, tell us about the days it's Salve Regina,
it's actually Salva Regina lating my ass, Bob.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
This will sound good with the speaker system at the yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Oh, and then the Infinity it'll have like the last
Supper of like Bob in the middle and like all
the off at the linemen next to them. Come on,
that's heresy. Not really, it's at airs, not really.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Hang this man. We'll be back with more Petros and
Money on AM five seventy LA Sports. Oh god, we've
made it even easier to take LA Sports with you
this summer. Make AM five seventy or your favorite AM
five seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on the iHeartRadio
(16:33):
app using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road Trip all
summer with LA Sports. Welcome back, everybody. It's Petros and
Money on AM five seventy LA Sports. Don't forget to
podcast the show on the iHeartRadio app and tomorrow our
show starts at one o'clock Waller, so if it's not
(16:53):
on when you're driving home, you can podcast it on
the app. That's what we're trying to tell you. But
right now it is time for the Top Store. Sorry
of the dad, Sorry of it now.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I don't know if it was gambling that did it.
It's probably in part due to the little amount of
games that are played in the sport of football. But
like we have come to accept that eighty two games
is too long, too many contests when it comes to
the NBA, and one of the reasons why there's a
(17:25):
compelling case to be made that the sport is more
popular off the court, that there is more interest in
the trade, deadline, trade, ton trade, that there is more
interest in free agency, That there is more interest in
(17:46):
the draft at least, well, at least there used to
be in the draft when it was before the one
it done. Yeah, the influx of foreign players and.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
We have to interview every family that night.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Now I can't take any It's not Lebron Carmelo, Chris Bosh,
Dwayne Wade, or are they really gonna take that man
from China instead of Jay Williams. Really that was the
salad days of the draft. But in reality, the regular
season has become an afterthought in the NBA. Not the
case with college or professional football, but with the College
(18:25):
Football Playoff, or as some like to call it CFP.
See what CFP did this week with the coaching carousel
circus in the amateur ranks dominating the headlines are things
that are happening away from the games. You think most
fans have an idea. What three teams tag Texas with losses?
(18:48):
What team is ole misses one blemish? Texas Tech has
one loss? Who is it?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Are you asking me? No?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Asum lost healthy and it's playing the SEC Championship? Why
are they there with two losses but two lost Oklahoma?
Who beat them? Is not because Alabama lost to Florida
State and Oklahoma lost two in conference. That's why. Instead
you had all kinds of people gob smacked. Twitter paid
(19:20):
by the weekly rankings, which is truly some of the
dumbest sporting content of all time. But it brings us
to the point. If the NBA is infatuated with transactions
and contracts and roster construction, football lately is most interested
in the future. What might happen? What could happen? How
(19:43):
is Miami behind Notre Dame when they both have two
losses and Notre Dame lost head to head to Miami.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
It's always been that way.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Why is Texas Tech lined up for a first round
by with a schedule that included just two ranked teams?
If you docked FSU for losing their co quarterback. Why
is an old Miskitt and Hammer for losing their head coach?
Your guy fat Charlie Weist is going to be able
to call plays though, Lane's letting him do that. His
son Notre Dame lost their second best defensive player. And
(20:13):
every single week, the CFP does sporting media the great
favor of creating content that has no business being created.
Releasing rankings six weeks before the season is finished teams.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
It's almost like the people that release the rankings are
the same ones that are running the content. Yeah, they
actually own the college Football Playoff.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
They create drama, Yeah, they build storylines. They keep college
football in the conversation when the most dominant form of
entertainment in America is running laps around everything else. The NFL,
and now, much like they have with other things, the
NFL has decided we need to do some of that.
Let us get in on this look to the future action.
The most popular thing going now in the NFL when
(21:03):
it comes to online content. With five weeks of football
left nearly a third of the season is playoff predictor
playoff odds, strength of schedule, remaining rankings.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
I like it when I'm watching the game and a
percentage of whether or not a team's gonna win changes.
I check this out, it's like, oh, well they missed
that field though. Oh look there presentage. What's going to
happen in the future percentage is drop. It is all
about the future.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
What will happen. We're going to tell you what could
and will happen. The tip of the cap to the
athletic who seem to have taken the lead with their
playoff odds, their algorithm which team could win their division
and what is the percentage that they will get a
first round by people quoting them all over social media
(21:51):
the talking heads shows.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
That is one thing I'm kind of grateful for that's
gone away. The obsession with the future in the college
football world is the signing day. Yes, not as it's
like signing day right now, half in the day when
a fax machine. Everybody cares anymore because the guy's gonna
stay there for three months. But it was a huge
obsession about the future, and you're talking about a freshman
(22:13):
class where very few of those guys.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Were going to contribute whatever. Five stars.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Every huge news and people would throw giant parties. There'd
be all day, all day programming all day hat dance.
I'm glad at least that part of it is that
has disappeared. In the NFL, the playoff predictor started getting
traction around Week ten with half the season left to play,
(22:40):
And now you look and the dominant line of conversation
is Chiefs thirty seven percent chance to pick the playoffs,
down from four to six percent.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Last week. They're six and six, but really for the
last three weeks, still having premature conversation about the end
of their dynasty. When their final five games are against
Houston at home, a team that started zero and three
has squeaked out a few tight games against the Titans, Bills,
and Colts. They will play their three division rivals, the Chargers,
(23:13):
the Broncos, and the Raiders. In the last seven years,
the Chiefs are thirty three and nine against the AFC
West and the one win Titans. I would assume they
could very easily win all of those games based on
what we've seen from this team that's been in the
AFC Championship for eight consecutive seasons.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I wouldn't cut them out.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
But you know, you see that percentage that's thirty seven percent,
I mean, how can I predict them to be in
the playoffs when it says right here on the playoff
odds page that it's thirty seven percent.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Does this factor in Andy Reids play calling?
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Strength of schedule remaining is now leading sites to predict
which teams will make and win which teams will miss
the playoffs. Take the Chargers, despite having the best conference
record of any AFC team, that is the tiebreaker when
it comes to the wild card, and there are at
(24:11):
least three teams with the same record, bne from one
of those three wild card spots. Their third toughest sos
are strength of schedule remaining a six twenty five win percentage.
Have we just had our boss come in and bring
it up to us earlier? You your boys aren't here Broncos, Chiefs, Texans, Cowboys,
(24:32):
Eagles says sixty wow, even though they're the five spot Chargers, all.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Your ticket, Matt, You're gonna get some obstruction.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
The Broncos and the Chiefs have already fallen to the
Chargers this season. The Cowboys are certainly playing better, but
they're still giving up a bunch of points on defense
that's clearly not fixed. The Eagles OC literally got his
house egged by those a hole fans in Philadelphia great
place after back to back loss is one, they were
able to pee away a twenty one nothing lead against
(25:06):
the Cowboys, and the Bears cashed him for like three
hundred rushing yards, and somehow the OC again they were
up twenty one to nothing on the Cowboys and lost.
The Bears running game got him for two hundred and
eighty yards. We're gonna go egg this guy's house, and
they egged the OC's house.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Well, that will make him a little bit more creative
in his play calling.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
I'm sure now I have not seen an injury impact predictor,
but the Chargers are dealing with Justin Herbert having a
broken left hand that had surgery yesterday. The Chiefs lost
their left tackle for the season, their right tackle for
the Thanksgiving Day game. He stinks anyway and might not
be back. How well does Mahomes play when not protected?
(25:46):
Ask the Buccaneers. Broncos keep winning one incredibly lucky way
after another. Week after week they're eight and two and
one score games.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
At a certain point, Matt, you're gonna have to give
Peyton his flowers. You won't do it, We'll do it.
You're too small minded to know how smart Peyton is
and it's top five.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Hang just ask him. Look, the Chiefs were twelve and
zero in one score games last year. They're one and
six and one score games this year. Which way will
the Broncos go for the remainder? But go to any
of the site ESPN, PFF, it's right there on the
front page, playoff predictor machine. Everyone wants the post. Who's
going to have the best record, who's going to miss
the playoffs? How the Irish are going to be walked
(26:26):
into the postseason at the cost of Vandy, Miami Texas
BYU and their crumble cookie fortune. How Alabama should get
in even if they lose a close I saw this,
Actually I actually read this article. Let's just say Alabama
loses to Georgia, but they lose by seven. However, they
were down fourteen and they scored the touchdown in garbage
(26:50):
time with less than thirty seconds left. Does Alabama make it?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Remember when they were like a three loss team and
people were calling, fine, momb but we're.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Better than Cincinnata, right, Well, yes, let's say they're down seven,
but they were down fourteen in less than a minute
to play do they get in?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
It's uh, everybody likes to try to figure it out.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Well, what I would say is maybe just listen to
that Georgia Alabama game here instead at one. Oh that's right,
we won't have that game because we have a Clipper
game on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
You know, Matt, what is your message? You have such
a negative message?
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Message is just watch the games, man. They predict the playoffs,
so the strength the schedule remaining and thirty seven percent
here and sixty four percent there.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
And I gotta be honest, Matt, it's kind of like
going to the toilet without your iPhone. Now. I can't
watch the games without that percentage right of knowing what's
likely to happen coming out.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
We love Danny Canell, but nobody, nobody reacts to the
cfp's rankings the moment they come out, like our dear friend,
the pure ho Danny Cannal.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Everybody knows where their bread is buttered?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Do they do?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
We'll be back with more petres and money. Alan Sliwah
is gonna get deeper into the Lakers situation and was
last night a future predictor more coming up?
Speaker 1 (28:17):

Clippers Friday, Clippers, Thursday. We got Thursday Night football a
big one. Cowboys Lions, looser goals home. I think that's
(29:02):
what they say or something like that, like they're out
of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
They probably just have to go back to their pro
football city and still play formal lay it out. Yeah,
but I do think they're playing for Pink. Well, Matt,
you know you're a real hot rod artist. Everybody knows that.
But Clippers are playing it out in December, which is
why we're talking. Lakers. Alan Sleewall Oops Talk, Oops Talk,
(29:29):
Hoops Talk on YouTube and on the iHeartRadio app, and
you hear his daily NBA basketball reports here on am
FI seventy LA Sports. A lot of people are interested
in what he has to say about basketball, and he
covers the Lakers quite well, and some say, deep down
(29:51):
in his heart, he's a rude boy from Blue Mountain Peak.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Rude boy.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
It's Alan Sleewan on your Southern California to tell you
to do either celebrity hotline. Lakers got blown out last night? Wow,
what's cracking? Alan?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
How are you tell us?
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Happy? Thanksgivin. Appreciate you guys having me on and always
good to join the show.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
It's always good to have you on. Slee wah Now
tell us last night Lakers get punched in the head.
Lebron's out there padness stats? What are you feeling? I mean,
not that big of a deal, but hey, it's Thanksgiving.
What are we going to talk about?
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Well, I don't think it's that big of a deal,
but I think it's something to keep an eye on.
I think the one thing coming into yesterday's game, that
seven game winning streak that they had great phenomenal. Anytime
you could win that many games in a row, that's great.
Obviously any team will take that. All those teams were
teams below five hundred. So there yesterday was the first
time of a five game stretch they got going on
(30:53):
here where they're going to face some decent teams. Phoenix
is decent, Toronto's well, maybe six to seven games above
five hundred. They got a part of that mix, Philly
and San Antonio. So they started out against the team
one of the few teams they faced over five hundred
over the last couple of weeks, and they got handed
to them. They got punked. I mean, I wasn't expecting that,
especially Devin Booker leaves after the first quarter and that's
(31:15):
all you see from him. So I don't think it's
that big of a deal, but I do think that
it kind of raises a couple of eyebrows at least
to say, Okay, that's interesting. You got punked by Phoenix
and they even have Devin Booker.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
So they get punked. They don't have Devin Booker and
Kutcher wasn't even there, and freaking Dylan Brooks is playing
his balls off. He's like ten of eleven. He's mocking
lebron as someone who has covered the Lakers as long
as you have Sliwa, where does Dylan Brooks slide in
as a Laker villain. You know, I go back, you know,
(31:49):
a little further than you. But you know, I think
about the butcher Rajah Bell, as Vick liked to call him, Like,
where where does Dylan Anabrooks? He was an animal? I
just where does Dylan Brooks fit in this money?
Speaker 5 (32:01):
The only reason why I don't think he should take
up that much real estate in Lakers' heads is because
he's also never beat the Lakers. I mean his time
in Memphis, his time obviously in Houston, now his time
in Phoenix. And don't get me wrong, Dylan Brooks was
phenomenal yesterday. And was he running his mouth and was
he trying to get under the skin of Laker fans
and Laker players? Sure, but this is also the same
(32:24):
guy that I think there is a little bit of
a front runner in this. When things are going well,
he sticks his chests out. When he was eliminated against
the Lakers, I think it was game six that they
were eliminated. He didn't show up to the press or
after the game because he didn't want to talk to reporters.
So I don't know, when I look at villains, I
look at somebody that you know, you think about and
(32:45):
you say to yourself, I got no idea if the
Lakers are going to win this game or they can't
get through this specific player in the playoff. Dylan Brooks
just kind of hasn't you know, he hasn't been in
a position where that's been an issue for the Lakers,
or they ran into Dylan Brooks and the team that
he was playing on stopped the Lakers from making a
playoff run.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Is he annoying?
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Yes? Was he really good yesterday? He was?
Speaker 4 (33:06):
What about? Did I get this right? Last night? I
was watching the game for a little while and it
seemed like they were just running it down the Lakers
throats man? Was it really twenty eight to like two
and fast breakpoints in that game? And what the hell's
going on with their defense?
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Well, it's not just their defense, you know, a lot
of those fast breakpoints come from turnovers. Luca by himself
had nine turnovers between Luca. Between Luca and Austin Reeves,
you had fourteen turnovers just between those two players. So
a big reason why the Lakers lost last night, big
reason why those fast breakpoints are so lopsided. A couple things.
Number One, Lakers are not going to be known for
(33:44):
their defense unless they go out there and make some
type of miraculous trade, but that's not going to be
their foundation. And number two, you commit that many turnovers,
you got a team like Phoenix who's running on the
other side, a fast team, fearless team. I don't know
what it was about Book not being there, but all
of a sudden, now the ball is being spread out
and you don't really know where it's going to go. Yeah,
(34:05):
that's that's as awful as a stat You're going to
see the twenty eighth to two and fast break points,
but that's primarily money. That's just just the turnovers. You
get that in turnovers. Teams going the other way, they're
going to be scoring on the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Alan Slawa Hoops Talk Talk with Hoops Talk the podcast
on YouTube and of course on the Venerable iHeartRadio app
and his daily reports here on a five seventy LA sparts.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
That's a real three pack there.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Look, that's a lot more than I do. Uh, Lebron
James looks old and he's not going to ever look younger,
you know, and I guess say the same for all
of us. But uh, what is Is there a concern
there or do you think you know he'll find a
I don't know, a little better rhythm than he did
last night. Seemed like he was kind of clowning around
last night, looked like.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
He looked okay.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
Just to be completely honest and not to say that
there has not been times where Lebron hasn't looked old.
He is old. He's forty years old. He's about to
turn forty one.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
In the differently, well, well.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
Here's the thing. I will say that he's I mean,
even at this age, he's been okay, he's not a
top ten player in the league, but he's still been really,
really good this year so far, kind of working his
way back. He's played I think five games total now. Yesterday,
I don't know what yesterday was. I mean, yesterday was
one of the few times where I'm like, oh, no, no,
(35:30):
he looks like he's forty one. He looked like a
player that you're looking at and saying, are you sure
you want him in right now? You don't want him
on the bench, bring somebody else in it. It's one
of the few times that I've watched Lebron three of
ten from the field. One of the things Lebron does
so well is he obviously figures out a way to
fill up the stat line with assists and rebounds and
(35:50):
everything else. He was was nothing he was doing yesterday.
The only thing he was doing with seven eight minutes
left to play with he's trying to get to ten
points to keep his double digit streak alive. So clearly
there that was the only thing at at the end
of the game that mattered because the Lakers were so
far behind that was concerning.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
And maybe this was just.
Speaker 5 (36:10):
Hey, he wasn't fresh. Granted he didn't play in the
Pelicans game on Sunday, you played back to back, there
was a reason why they sat him out against the Pelicans,
had him ready for Phoenix. But that was one of
the few times where it was kind of like, what's
going on here with Lebron? And he did look his age.
He looked old, and that that's the best way. He
didn't look good at all yesterday and he looked old,
and hopefully that's just one game.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Back to Doncic and the nine turnovers. There after the game,
he said something along the lines of different, defense looked different.
You know, I scored lots and you know, could not
get the other guys involved them. It's my best Luca accent,
but he uh darby. Are we seeing something that maybe
other teams are going to try, Like, hey, whatever, Luke,
you want to score twenty in the first quarter and
(36:51):
whatever forty in the game, do it, but we're gonna
limit everything else. Is that Is that a new approach
that no one else has taken? And was that part
of the nine turnovers and gonna blowout win effectiveness?
Speaker 5 (37:02):
I think Luca's seen everything. So I think in his
you know what, was he twenty six now in the
NBA and already individually has unbelievable accolades and accomplishments. I
think he's seen everything. I think last night was the
Lakers looked, they looked off, They looked like they played
three games in four nights. I'm not been making any excuses.
Like I said, Phoenix ran through them, and give Phoenix
(37:25):
a lot of credit for yesterday's performance, But collectively for
the Lakers, Austin Reeves sixteen points, Rui Hachimura had as
many points as all of us combined. He didn't score anything,
And I think it was the combination of Luca making
bad passes Phoenix playing good defense, blitzing a lot of
these players, including Luca and nobody else contributing. I don't
(37:46):
think anybody really found anything that they're gonna take tomorrow
and say that's it. We found the blueprint on Luca.
I think Luca will figure it out. He's been really,
really good so far this season. But I think collectively
they were all bad. Collectively, they were steps slower. And
I don't know if you guys heard JJ, but right
after the game, he's like, look, if you don't give
the same amount of effort as the Phoenix Suns, that's
(38:06):
what's gonna happen. And that had probably the foundation of
why they lost.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Burned by the Sun. The great Alan Sleewah our friend.

Number of calendars for the Santa Anita books, right, plenty

Speaker 3 (04:25):
December eighteenth, four hours.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
That's actually a warning to you guys. Take what you
want out in there, because everything else is going taking
us out year.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
You say this every year, and then it comes around
to that time and you're too lazy to pull all
that stuff down to the loading down. Oh I will.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Oh, Kevin figures taking to loading doc.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah, just like he did with the Rancid refrigerator, and he.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Got written on us. The best we got video. We
got video of this employee of yours getting rid of
industrial waste.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Okay, let me see your phone real quick. It's draft.
How do you know that?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
To him? Right, I responded, that was me those me
from Tim's email. He gave me his phone and I
respond was that the one where I was riding around
in the back.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
They had a picture of me.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
That was the one that was a different one.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
That was the one we were at the oe A
sky Space.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yes, yes, it was somebody letting someone out. Are you
sure that's.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
All right? Let's do a couple speaking of being out
on the road, minor sports.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Minor sports stories were great sports talk.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Good amount of T shirts were unloaded Matt, which needed
to happen, and the people that came were deeply rewarded.
Those that came were deeply rewarded, which serves as a
lesson to the ingrates that didn't show up to our
remote yesterday. And you know who you are, somebody who
thought they were going to show up and then didn't.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
How dare you right?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Steve Van Dorn added shoes, Tate's added stuff. I gave
away my own clothing, including a.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Belt, never worn. T shirts worn. You missed out, the warn.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
You missed out, You missed out on what It was
a great sports talk radio show. And almost everybody there
walked away with the prize. If they didn't, born losers,
but we appreciate everybody. Our next Bjay's Extravaganza does not
require surf rock. It will be in West Covina, December eighteenth.
(06:36):
It's a four hour show. And let me tell you
right now, as a person of girth, Matt looks swollen.
And the people of Downey were too scared to race
Matt and his Mazda down firestone or lakewood. They offered
their fear made air stink and Matt wasn't even swolled
up on people. Though I did take pride in wearing
(06:57):
a ridiculous outfit, but it was great. I just want
to say say, our Filipino friends, that Frank Yokayama showed up.
You'll feel, Mike think because nobody in Downy came and
gave us anything, Matt. They didn't give us a proclamation,
no city council person, no.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Chief of police or fire, a paramedic, someone that ran
one of the car lots, custodian at golf and stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
But the mayor of the town of the Filipino DJ.
Cerritos Franco Yokoyama did. He made his way up the
seven to ten and over on one oh five.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
It's not an easy commute. Gotta wear firestone like that
at that time of day. It's always backed up.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
His honorable Mayor of Cerritos coming through again.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yokoyama's the best.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
You know.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Gary and Shannon were a bjays in West Covina last
month and there was a hole to do about them
going out there because the time before that they were
told they needed a permit yes to do the radio
show from there, and so they were going out there
last month no permit, show canceled. They ended up going
out there on a different day.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Not a different day though, I mean they had to
cancel that show day of do we have a permit?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
A laminated permit around their neck while they were doing it.
I'll get on chat. I think, you know, we're like
those NHL guys who used to perform without their helmets,
you know, back in the day. I think we've been
without permits at West Covina like five times.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Grandfather didn't.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I think when Vinny Bong Signor left West Covina with
twelve different meals for his family, we had huge gigantic bag.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Two bags, legitimately two bags.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I think that was unpermitted, uncredentialed. Uh, thank you. Frank
Yokayama came in there like an animal. We have our
regal proclamation from him that hangs here in our beloved studio,
and we love it so much more because of our
sweet Cerritos proclamation. Looking at you West Covina and shame
(08:56):
on you, Downey for shame, for shame. Moving on, I
think we have to do this again because I think
we're waiting for Bob to arrive in town or waiting
for the press conference.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Bob, are we ready?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
It's time for another story.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Sports stories for great sports talk.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Bob, Are we ready?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Bob?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Are we ready?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
We went over it yesterday, Matt, but it bears repeating.
New UCLA head coach Bob Chesney is an East Coast guy,
I mean a real East Coast guy, even more East
coast than Chip Kelly because Chip Kelly had coached for
quite some time at Oregon by the time he was
(09:44):
getting a UCLA job, so he had been on the West.
As we did go over yesterday, his first jobs after
four years at Johns Hopkins as a head coach is
for his job was at this place. And this is
their fight song, Salve Regina.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
This is not their fight. This is how they.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Come out, Matt. They have fireworks and they come out
to this and here come the Seahawks. This is from YouTube.
This is from when they played Slippery Rock a.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
D three.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
This is the school song. It's on Newport Cliff, Rhode Island,
where Matt found not far from where Matt found that
guy that sold the Maraganst beer.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
It's a rail Rhode Island beer against a beer that's
a Rhode Island beer.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Along with the lead singer from Throwing Muses. Lots of
navy types went to uh Salve Regina, a lot of
admirals people like that. And then Matt it bears repeating
where else was Bob? This is all to show that
he has ready no West Coast roots whatsoever. Assumption the Greyhounds.
(11:14):
Where have you heard of assumption before? That's where very
popular former Notre Dame coach and former LSU coach and
former Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly went to school aka Free
my Boy, Brian Kelly, Free my boy.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Hey, Free my boy, part of LSU family. I'm here
with my famille family.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
And everybody gave me such a warm reception and I
haven't even won all my games yet. Family, Family, Free
my boy b K. That's where BK went to college.
But that's where Bob Chesney Bob were we ready was
(11:58):
the head coach the Hounds or D two and then
coach Bob.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
By the way JOHNS Hopkins taking on the stakes of
Salisbury in the second round of the playoffs this week.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I did hear that the Hopkins. Now, the reason you
know that it's a big medical school is they all
wear stethoscopes out there. They fly all over like you
think you've seen mouthpieces dangling. Now John Hopkins' tethoscope. Then
the Holy Cross in Central Mass Patriot League in the
path of Gordy Lockbomb in the path of the Revolutionary War.
(12:34):
Bob dominated the Patriot League like Mel Gibson in the Patriots.
Ready two axes favorite chopping up all those red.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Coats, Patriot oh man, could he twirl them axes, just
chopping redcoats like there's no tomorrow. Shouldn't killed his kid?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
A bunch of his kids? Terrible the Patriot We love it.
Gerard Depardieu underrated in the pat Chesney dominated the Patriot League,
and when Signetti left, James Madison did not hire from
within because he took everybody with him. They hired Bob
(13:16):
Chesney and he went into the sun Belt at Harrisonburg,
Virginia for the Dukes James Madison, named for the fourth President,
Jimmy Madison, in the Shenandoah Valley. That's pretty big school,
twenty two thousand students, dwarfed by UCLA. Of course, the
(13:37):
point is, Matt, this is an East Coast man at.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Little East Coast Swing.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It is a lot of East Coast just like I'm
not gay, but it's a lot of people that are.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah, I'm not gay, so just it's a lot of
people who are.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
There's part of this higher that I really like because
he's obviously a very good coach, and you know how
much I respect the guys that come from small schools.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
And you saw his brother blow the dome off the
Tacoma Dome.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
He tore it off, Kenny Chesney tore the tour, the
roof off the Tacoma Dome. It's been a terrible winter
season because of it. But also the West Coast is
a tricky place, and you the UC system is a
tricky place. How does this guy figure out how to
(14:26):
build a program and the UC system on the West Coast,
let alone fighting it out in the Big ten. So
it shall be seen, but it's a bold higher and
we're happy for Bob. Maybe he is the next Signetti Ucla. Hope. So, Bob,
are we ready? I just like to play all the
different fight songs, especially.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Regina.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
When they come out and the monks start chatting, the
kids go crazy, dude, they start drinking that freaking fermented wine.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Gets you so ACKed up, so fast, tossed those wooden mugs.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
It's great. You get the goblets out.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Oh god, it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
And you know who comes out, Jesus no, but but
almost is old. The guy from the last crusade that
was guarded at the grail, the guy wisely he gave. Yeah,
he gave Indiana Jones the high Sidne when he rolled
out of the temple there. Thank you, that guy, one
of the Knights of Templar. He comes out, all gray
and old, and he watches Salve Regina take the field,
(15:27):
and Bob Chesney calls sprint right option Renuay, over and
over and over, even to the even to the boundary.
Salve Regina.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Now, maybe he'll bring some of those traditions with him,
you know, a little something from each time he comes
on our show.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
He'll be like, tell us about the days it's Salve Regina,
it's actually Salva Regina lating my ass, Bob.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
This will sound good with the speaker system at the yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Oh, and then the Infinity it'll have like the last
Supper of like Bob in the middle and like all
the off at the linemen next to them. Come on,
that's heresy. Not really, it's at airs, not really.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Hang this man. We'll be back with more Petros and
Money on AM five seventy LA Sports. Oh god, we've

on when you're driving home, you can podcast it on
the app. That's what we're trying to tell you. But
right now it is time for the Top Store. Sorry
of the dad, Sorry of it now.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I don't know if it was gambling that did it.
It's probably in part due to the little amount of
games that are played in the sport of football. But
like we have come to accept that eighty two games
is too long, too many contests when it comes to
the NBA, and one of the reasons why there's a
(17:25):
compelling case to be made that the sport is more
popular off the court, that there is more interest in
the trade, deadline, trade, ton trade, that there is more
interest in free agency, That there is more interest in
(17:46):
the draft at least, well, at least there used to
be in the draft when it was before the one
it done. Yeah, the influx of foreign players and.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
We have to interview every family that night.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Now I can't take any It's not Lebron Carmelo, Chris Bosh,
Dwayne Wade, or are they really gonna take that man
from China instead of Jay Williams. Really that was the
salad days of the draft. But in reality, the regular
season has become an afterthought in the NBA. Not the
case with college or professional football, but with the College
(18:25):
Football Playoff, or as some like to call it CFP.
See what CFP did this week with the coaching carousel
circus in the amateur ranks dominating the headlines are things
that are happening away from the games. You think most
fans have an idea. What three teams tag Texas with losses?
(18:48):
What team is ole misses one blemish? Texas Tech has
one loss? Who is it?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Are you asking me? No?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Asum lost healthy and it's playing the SEC Championship? Why
are they there with two losses but two lost Oklahoma?
Who beat them? Is not because Alabama lost to Florida
State and Oklahoma lost two in conference. That's why. Instead
you had all kinds of people gob smacked. Twitter paid
(19:20):
by the weekly rankings, which is truly some of the
dumbest sporting content of all time. But it brings us
to the point. If the NBA is infatuated with transactions
and contracts and roster construction, football lately is most interested
in the future. What might happen? What could happen? How
(19:43):
is Miami behind Notre Dame when they both have two
losses and Notre Dame lost head to head to Miami.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
It's always been that way.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Why is Texas Tech lined up for a first round
by with a schedule that included just two ranked teams?
If you docked FSU for losing their co quarterback. Why
is an old Miskitt and Hammer for losing their head coach?
Your guy fat Charlie Weist is going to be able
to call plays though, Lane's letting him do that. His
son Notre Dame lost their second best defensive player. And
(20:13):
every single week, the CFP does sporting media the great
favor of creating content that has no business being created.
Releasing rankings six weeks before the season is finished teams.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
It's almost like the people that release the rankings are
the same ones that are running the content. Yeah, they
actually own the college Football Playoff.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
They create drama, Yeah, they build storylines. They keep college
football in the conversation when the most dominant form of
entertainment in America is running laps around everything else. The NFL,
and now, much like they have with other things, the
NFL has decided we need to do some of that.
Let us get in on this look to the future action.
The most popular thing going now in the NFL when
(21:03):
it comes to online content. With five weeks of football
left nearly a third of the season is playoff predictor
playoff odds, strength of schedule, remaining rankings.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
I like it when I'm watching the game and a
percentage of whether or not a team's gonna win changes.
I check this out, it's like, oh, well they missed
that field though. Oh look there presentage. What's going to
happen in the future percentage is drop. It is all
about the future.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
What will happen. We're going to tell you what could
and will happen. The tip of the cap to the
athletic who seem to have taken the lead with their
playoff odds, their algorithm which team could win their division
and what is the percentage that they will get a
first round by people quoting them all over social media
(21:51):
the talking heads shows.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
That is one thing I'm kind of grateful for that's
gone away. The obsession with the future in the college
football world is the signing day. Yes, not as it's
like signing day right now, half in the day when
a fax machine. Everybody cares anymore because the guy's gonna
stay there for three months. But it was a huge
obsession about the future, and you're talking about a freshman
(22:13):
class where very few of those guys.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Were going to contribute whatever. Five stars.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Every huge news and people would throw giant parties. There'd
be all day, all day programming all day hat dance.
I'm glad at least that part of it is that
has disappeared. In the NFL, the playoff predictor started getting
traction around Week ten with half the season left to play,
(22:40):
And now you look and the dominant line of conversation
is Chiefs thirty seven percent chance to pick the playoffs,
down from four to six percent.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Last week. They're six and six, but really for the
last three weeks, still having premature conversation about the end
of their dynasty. When their final five games are against
Houston at home, a team that started zero and three
has squeaked out a few tight games against the Titans, Bills,
and Colts. They will play their three division rivals, the Chargers,
(23:13):
the Broncos, and the Raiders. In the last seven years,
the Chiefs are thirty three and nine against the AFC
West and the one win Titans. I would assume they
could very easily win all of those games based on
what we've seen from this team that's been in the
AFC Championship for eight consecutive seasons.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I wouldn't cut them out.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
But you know, you see that percentage that's thirty seven percent,
I mean, how can I predict them to be in
the playoffs when it says right here on the playoff
odds page that it's thirty seven percent.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Does this factor in Andy Reids play calling?
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Strength of schedule remaining is now leading sites to predict
which teams will make and win which teams will miss
the playoffs. Take the Chargers, despite having the best conference
record of any AFC team, that is the tiebreaker when
it comes to the wild card, and there are at
(24:11):
least three teams with the same record, bne from one
of those three wild card spots. Their third toughest sos
are strength of schedule remaining a six twenty five win percentage.
Have we just had our boss come in and bring
it up to us earlier? You your boys aren't here Broncos, Chiefs, Texans, Cowboys,
(24:32):
Eagles says sixty wow, even though they're the five spot Chargers, all.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Your ticket, Matt, You're gonna get some obstruction.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
The Broncos and the Chiefs have already fallen to the
Chargers this season. The Cowboys are certainly playing better, but
they're still giving up a bunch of points on defense
that's clearly not fixed. The Eagles OC literally got his
house egged by those a hole fans in Philadelphia great
place after back to back loss is one, they were
able to pee away a twenty one nothing lead against
(25:06):
the Cowboys, and the Bears cashed him for like three
hundred rushing yards, and somehow the OC again they were
up twenty one to nothing on the Cowboys and lost.
The Bears running game got him for two hundred and
eighty yards. We're gonna go egg this guy's house, and
they egged the OC's house.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Well, that will make him a little bit more creative
in his play calling.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
I'm sure now I have not seen an injury impact predictor,
but the Chargers are dealing with Justin Herbert having a
broken left hand that had surgery yesterday. The Chiefs lost
their left tackle for the season, their right tackle for
the Thanksgiving Day game. He stinks anyway and might not
be back. How well does Mahomes play when not protected?
(25:46):
Ask the Buccaneers. Broncos keep winning one incredibly lucky way
after another. Week after week they're eight and two and
one score games.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
At a certain point, Matt, you're gonna have to give
Peyton his flowers. You won't do it, We'll do it.
You're too small minded to know how smart Peyton is
and it's top five.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Hang just ask him. Look, the Chiefs were twelve and
zero in one score games last year. They're one and
six and one score games this year. Which way will
the Broncos go for the remainder? But go to any
of the site ESPN, PFF, it's right there on the
front page, playoff predictor machine. Everyone wants the post. Who's
going to have the best record, who's going to miss
the playoffs? How the Irish are going to be walked
(26:26):
into the postseason at the cost of Vandy, Miami Texas
BYU and their crumble cookie fortune. How Alabama should get
in even if they lose a close I saw this,
Actually I actually read this article. Let's just say Alabama
loses to Georgia, but they lose by seven. However, they
were down fourteen and they scored the touchdown in garbage
(26:50):
time with less than thirty seconds left. Does Alabama make it?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Remember when they were like a three loss team and
people were calling, fine, momb but we're.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Better than Cincinnata, right, Well, yes, let's say they're down seven,
but they were down fourteen in less than a minute
to play do they get in?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
It's uh, everybody likes to try to figure it out.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Well, what I would say is maybe just listen to
that Georgia Alabama game here instead at one. Oh that's right,
we won't have that game because we have a Clipper
game on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
You know, Matt, what is your message? You have such
a negative message?
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Message is just watch the games, man. They predict the playoffs,
so the strength the schedule remaining and thirty seven percent
here and sixty four percent there.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
And I gotta be honest, Matt, it's kind of like
going to the toilet without your iPhone. Now. I can't
watch the games without that percentage right of knowing what's
likely to happen coming out.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
We love Danny Canell, but nobody, nobody reacts to the
cfp's rankings the moment they come out, like our dear friend,
the pure ho Danny Cannal.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Everybody knows where their bread is buttered?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Do they do?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
We'll be back with more petres and money. Alan Sliwah
is gonna get deeper into the Lakers situation and was
last night a future predictor more coming up?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Hello, PMS listener, did you know am five seventy LA

Clippers Friday, Clippers, Thursday. We got Thursday Night football a
big one. Cowboys Lions, looser goals home. I think that's
(29:02):
what they say or something like that, like they're out
of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
They probably just have to go back to their pro
football city and still play formal lay it out. Yeah,
but I do think they're playing for Pink. Well, Matt,
you know you're a real hot rod artist. Everybody knows that.
But Clippers are playing it out in December, which is
why we're talking. Lakers. Alan Sleewall Oops Talk, Oops Talk,
(29:29):
Hoops Talk on YouTube and on the iHeartRadio app, and
you hear his daily NBA basketball reports here on am
FI seventy LA Sports. A lot of people are interested
in what he has to say about basketball, and he
covers the Lakers quite well, and some say, deep down
(29:51):
in his heart, he's a rude boy from Blue Mountain Peak.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Rude boy.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
It's Alan Sleewan on your Southern California to tell you
to do either celebrity hotline. Lakers got blown out last night? Wow,
what's cracking? Alan?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
How are you tell us?
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Happy? Thanksgivin. Appreciate you guys having me on and always
good to join the show.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
It's always good to have you on. Slee wah Now
tell us last night Lakers get punched in the head.
Lebron's out there padness stats? What are you feeling? I mean,
not that big of a deal, but hey, it's Thanksgiving.
What are we going to talk about?
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Well, I don't think it's that big of a deal,
but I think it's something to keep an eye on.
I think the one thing coming into yesterday's game, that
seven game winning streak that they had great phenomenal. Anytime
you could win that many games in a row, that's great.
Obviously any team will take that. All those teams were
teams below five hundred. So there yesterday was the first
time of a five game stretch they got going on
(30:53):
here where they're going to face some decent teams. Phoenix
is decent, Toronto's well, maybe six to seven games above
five hundred. They got a part of that mix, Philly
and San Antonio. So they started out against the team
one of the few teams they faced over five hundred
over the last couple of weeks, and they got handed
to them. They got punked. I mean, I wasn't expecting that,
especially Devin Booker leaves after the first quarter and that's
(31:15):
all you see from him. So I don't think it's
that big of a deal, but I do think that
it kind of raises a couple of eyebrows at least
to say, Okay, that's interesting. You got punked by Phoenix
and they even have Devin Booker.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
So they get punked. They don't have Devin Booker and
Kutcher wasn't even there, and freaking Dylan Brooks is playing
his balls off. He's like ten of eleven. He's mocking
lebron as someone who has covered the Lakers as long
as you have Sliwa, where does Dylan Brooks slide in
as a Laker villain. You know, I go back, you know,
(31:49):
a little further than you. But you know, I think
about the butcher Rajah Bell, as Vick liked to call him, Like,
where where does Dylan Anabrooks? He was an animal? I
just where does Dylan Brooks fit in this money?
Speaker 5 (32:01):
The only reason why I don't think he should take
up that much real estate in Lakers' heads is because
he's also never beat the Lakers. I mean his time
in Memphis, his time obviously in Houston, now his time
in Phoenix. And don't get me wrong, Dylan Brooks was
phenomenal yesterday. And was he running his mouth and was
he trying to get under the skin of Laker fans
and Laker players? Sure, but this is also the same
(32:24):
guy that I think there is a little bit of
a front runner in this. When things are going well,
he sticks his chests out. When he was eliminated against
the Lakers, I think it was game six that they
were eliminated. He didn't show up to the press or
after the game because he didn't want to talk to reporters.
So I don't know, when I look at villains, I
look at somebody that you know, you think about and
(32:45):
you say to yourself, I got no idea if the
Lakers are going to win this game or they can't
get through this specific player in the playoff. Dylan Brooks
just kind of hasn't you know, he hasn't been in
a position where that's been an issue for the Lakers,
or they ran into Dylan Brooks and the team that
he was playing on stopped the Lakers from making a
playoff run.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Is he annoying?
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Yes? Was he really good yesterday? He was?
Speaker 4 (33:06):
What about? Did I get this right? Last night? I
was watching the game for a little while and it
seemed like they were just running it down the Lakers
throats man? Was it really twenty eight to like two
and fast breakpoints in that game? And what the hell's
going on with their defense?
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Well, it's not just their defense, you know, a lot
of those fast breakpoints come from turnovers. Luca by himself
had nine turnovers between Luca. Between Luca and Austin Reeves,
you had fourteen turnovers just between those two players. So
a big reason why the Lakers lost last night, big
reason why those fast breakpoints are so lopsided. A couple things.
Number One, Lakers are not going to be known for
(33:44):
their defense unless they go out there and make some
type of miraculous trade, but that's not going to be
their foundation. And number two, you commit that many turnovers,
you got a team like Phoenix who's running on the
other side, a fast team, fearless team. I don't know
what it was about Book not being there, but all
of a sudden, now the ball is being spread out
and you don't really know where it's going to go. Yeah,
(34:05):
that's that's as awful as a stat You're going to
see the twenty eighth to two and fast break points,
but that's primarily money. That's just just the turnovers. You
get that in turnovers. Teams going the other way, they're
going to be scoring on the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Alan Slawa Hoops Talk Talk with Hoops Talk the podcast
on YouTube and of course on the Venerable iHeartRadio app
and his daily reports here on a five seventy LA sparts.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
That's a real three pack there.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Look, that's a lot more than I do. Uh, Lebron
James looks old and he's not going to ever look younger,
you know, and I guess say the same for all
of us. But uh, what is Is there a concern
there or do you think you know he'll find a
I don't know, a little better rhythm than he did
last night. Seemed like he was kind of clowning around
last night, looked like.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
He looked okay.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
Just to be completely honest and not to say that
there has not been times where Lebron hasn't looked old.
He is old. He's forty years old. He's about to
turn forty one.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
In the differently, well, well.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
Here's the thing. I will say that he's I mean,
even at this age, he's been okay, he's not a
top ten player in the league, but he's still been really,
really good this year so far, kind of working his
way back. He's played I think five games total now. Yesterday,
I don't know what yesterday was. I mean, yesterday was
one of the few times where I'm like, oh, no, no,
(35:30):
he looks like he's forty one. He looked like a
player that you're looking at and saying, are you sure
you want him in right now? You don't want him
on the bench, bring somebody else in it. It's one
of the few times that I've watched Lebron three of
ten from the field. One of the things Lebron does
so well is he obviously figures out a way to
fill up the stat line with assists and rebounds and
(35:50):
everything else. He was was nothing he was doing yesterday.
The only thing he was doing with seven eight minutes
left to play with he's trying to get to ten
points to keep his double digit streak alive. So clearly
there that was the only thing at at the end
of the game that mattered because the Lakers were so
far behind that was concerning.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
And maybe this was just.
Speaker 5 (36:10):
Hey, he wasn't fresh. Granted he didn't play in the
Pelicans game on Sunday, you played back to back, there
was a reason why they sat him out against the Pelicans,
had him ready for Phoenix. But that was one of
the few times where it was kind of like, what's
going on here with Lebron? And he did look his age.
He looked old, and that that's the best way. He
didn't look good at all yesterday and he looked old,
and hopefully that's just one game.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Back to Doncic and the nine turnovers. There after the game,
he said something along the lines of different, defense looked different.
You know, I scored lots and you know, could not
get the other guys involved them. It's my best Luca accent,
but he uh darby. Are we seeing something that maybe
other teams are going to try, Like, hey, whatever, Luke,
you want to score twenty in the first quarter and
(36:51):
whatever forty in the game, do it, but we're gonna
limit everything else. Is that Is that a new approach
that no one else has taken? And was that part
of the nine turnovers and gonna blowout win effectiveness?
Speaker 5 (37:02):
I think Luca's seen everything. So I think in his
you know what, was he twenty six now in the
NBA and already individually has unbelievable accolades and accomplishments. I
think he's seen everything. I think last night was the
Lakers looked, they looked off, They looked like they played
three games in four nights. I'm not been making any excuses.
Like I said, Phoenix ran through them, and give Phoenix
(37:25):
a lot of credit for yesterday's performance, But collectively for
the Lakers, Austin Reeves sixteen points, Rui Hachimura had as
many points as all of us combined. He didn't score anything,
And I think it was the combination of Luca making
bad passes Phoenix playing good defense, blitzing a lot of
these players, including Luca and nobody else contributing. I don't
(37:46):
think anybody really found anything that they're gonna take tomorrow
and say that's it. We found the blueprint on Luca.
I think Luca will figure it out. He's been really,
really good so far this season. But I think collectively
they were all bad. Collectively, they were steps slower. And
I don't know if you guys heard JJ, but right
after the game, he's like, look, if you don't give
the same amount of effort as the Phoenix Suns, that's
(38:06):
what's gonna happen. And that had probably the foundation of
why they lost.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Burned by the Sun. The great Alan Sleewah our friend.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
