Speaker 1 (01:18):
Tax Man? All right?

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Shut up?

Speaker 2 (01:21):
However, I do think you could make a pretty good
run at this as someone who knows his Beatles. April fourth,
nineteen sixty four is the only time in history that
the same artist occupied the top five slots one, two, three, four,
five on the Billboard Hot one hundred. It was the Beatles.

(01:42):
What year, nineteen sixty four. If I give you one song,
I think you might be able to get at least
the others.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah. The number one that week was Can't Buy Me Love?

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Okay, so help, Nope, okay, I'm out.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Twist and shot out, Okay, she loves you? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I want to hold your hand.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
I would have done that one too.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
And please please me. You're too cool. You went text man,
I'm sorry. You should have named the.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Tax man, I said, I said help, that's what you said, help.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
No, you first said ted ted Well.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
I said tax man with the name ten Beatles, but
the top five. Shut up. It's not like the top
five is going to be you know. Uh, she came
through the bathroom window.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
That's not making the tax with silver hammer down.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Dodgers have suffered without mine.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
That. By the way, for those that don't know, the
inside joke is a true story. The first probably two
weeks that Pat O'Brien was employed here and actually came
to work to do the shot. Yeah, he came to
the studio every day to do a radio show in
the middays. And uh, he would show up about an
hour early before the show, and he would walk around

(03:00):
the office harassing people, insulting people.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
That was one of his things.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Shouldn't even be here, this is so below me. I
can't believe i'm here.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
Would say that.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
But every now and then somebody knew would get the
go ahead named bed ted beetlesug starting now, go come together, Okay, Uh,
come on, you gotta be kid help all right? Uh
shut up, nobody cares. He would stop you when you

(03:29):
got the three or four and say, shut up, nobody cares.
It's quite the parlor trick from Pattlebrice.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
So at least I play along when you asked me
to do it. If I asked you to name ten
Beatles songs, you're like, oh, You're like, oh, I know,
it's I'm just messing with you, idiot. I want to
see if you knew I can't wait around here. All right,
it's time for quick hits. Everybody quick hits, you idiot.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
That was not the hoople moron.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
At least I play along so you can go shut up.
You don't do something you'd be like, oh, no, that's
the faces.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
I'm trying to think of where we Oh, it was
at the UH. It was at September's on Friday after
the show. When we were out mingling with everybody, somebody
brought up. He asked me, is it was that a
true story or were you guys just you know, playing
on the whole. Petros is a real he's a real
psycho man. He does crazy s. When Pad O'Brien gave you,
guys JFK silver dollars, did Petros really put it into

(04:33):
a vending machine? Said yes, immediately he put it into
a vending machine, and Pad O'Brien saw him.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
He said, hey, pretty cool, and I gave you right.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Pto sold the cat up when yeah, I was thirsty,
and he's like, you put that into his gene.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
I think he was worth fifty bucks, you idiot.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Fifty dollars coke? That did happen? And then the guy
came up to me, he was like, you really did it?
He really all right?

Speaker 3 (04:59):
He loves that. Oh look I shot JFK just fifteen
years ago.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Uh, it's time for the quick as the All Star
Game is happening in Atlanta right now, players are wearing
their team uniforms.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Seems like Tim Kates likes that a lot.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
He likes that a lot.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Did I always I think most people of a certain
age hated the All Start un.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Oh I like it, dude. I like it, and it
makes it look so cool.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
You may notice during the All Star Game the use
of the Automated Ball Strike system being used. Commissioner Rob
manfreds and MLB is in the process of implementing a
huge umpire change for twenty twenty six. Manfred made clear
that while the league is hoping to implement the ABS
in MLB by twenty twenty six, it fully intense to
preserve the roles of umpires in games robot umps, and

(05:49):
even denounce the term robot umpires.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Oh dare you when.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Discussing the automated ball strike.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
System, Well, I do believe it's the challenge. It is
not the every single strike and ball is called by
the robot. It is just difficult. A player thinks they've
been wronged, they can challenge.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
You want robots, go watch Superman with francessa Robots and
a Dog. Dodgers and Angels both off for the All
Star Break.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Not how did they got off? The Dodgers and Angels
are off.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
I'm just trying to do my job. The Dodgers are
five and a half games up in the NL West,
the Angels are nine games back in the A, four
back of the wild card spot in the AL and
the suspension of former Dodgers pitcher Julio Utias ends tomorrow.

(06:42):
The next day, Major League Baseball will remove him from
its restricted list. Any team that wants to say good
morning to Julio can Any team can sign him. Scott Boris,
the agent for Urias, said the pitcher, the only player
suspended twice for violating spous policy on domestic violence and
sexual assault, hopes to resume playing. Utias is now twenty

(07:08):
eight years old and hasn't pitched in the Big League
since September twenty twenty three.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
I think it's probably gonna be pretty hard for him
to find a home, I would guess.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
But if Boris, would Boris be his agent? If he
wasn't going to be able to find a home, would
Boris say anything about it? Would he set himself up
to be embarrassed.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Like lafting seeds in the media. I don't know if
I am his agent. He's the only man to twice
be accused of sexual assault and I will find him
a job because I'm Scott Boris Well.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
He's put his name on it. The Tampa Bay Ray's owner,
Stu Sternberg. Stu Sternberg has taken his name off it,
as agreed in principle to sell the team for one
point seven billion dollars to a group led by the
Florida based developer Patrick Salopski, who plans.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
To keep the three Berg still on the ras.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
No Sternberg sold it now sounds like they made the
deal over a big giant plate of potato skins. Loaded
potato skins. You're going to keep the team in Tampa.
They need a new stadium. I guess the Lakers and
the Clippers summer league teams are off until Thursday night.
I know that fully functional employee Adam was up all night.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
It wasn't just me.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Actually, we exchanged texts.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Oh yeah, I had summer leaguing all night.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
It's the summer league, so I had to a.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Couple of summer league grab assers.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Who is this guy calling the game? And why is
he yelling at me like it's Game seven of the
NBA Finals.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Browny's out there, That's what it was.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
And then Adam sent me a tweet that he had
lobbed out prior that said, why is this guy calling
the game like it's Game seven of the NBA. I
was like, I guess we're kind of in step.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Here, Yeah, tone it down just a little bit bit.
I thought he was gonna swear it one.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Who was it? James with a jumper. Guys still couldn't
figure it out.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
First quarter, first three pointer brought to James from.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
Downtown has nothing with his bang on this guy on
this guy.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Paul George, who used to be Adam's favorite guy, underwent
U schoo procedure on his left knee Monday to treat
an injury suffered during a recent workout. My gosh, and
would they get you doing? Stop training? And would they
get you doing You've overtrained.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Two hundred and twelve million dollar contract over four years,
played forty games last year, Gonna miss the start of
the season this year. I'll tell you what, man, the
greatest trick the Devil ever played that a basketball player
ever played on the NBA was Paul George convincing people
that he could potentially be healthy for a basketball season.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
It does seem to be a growing frustration for anybody
who has defended him over the years. And would they
get you doing?

Speaker 3 (09:58):
I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah, and what they PG thirteen three.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Playoff p gonna be out? No, yeah, he is gonna
be out out with an injury.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Oh, look at that, you got him? That's right.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
He led them to the Western Conference finals and twenty
one will always have that at least, and Philly's fine
and beat will be healthy.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
I'm sure sure that's sarcasm right there.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Chargers training camp is Underwey and el Segunda Matt Dogg.
What is the latest from the bolt.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Hold out Trey Harris second round pick five Players on
the pup list, including Mike Williams. He and Trey Harris
are supposed to be their answers that the X receiver,
yet neither will be in camp as it opens officially
to the media on Thursday. That's will arrive tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
J Harris wear on a patch.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
I don't know what a superficial injury to an eyeball
is but yes, we will find that out on Thursday
as well. Let me see your eye. You can't, it's
got a patch over it and one of them steal cups.
I look like, sure, is it hard? Does your vision
get impact? Is it harder for you? You're supposed to
be running, But that's it's fat injury. They did unveil
their new uniforms today. Their new alternates in all gold,

(11:10):
they called Chargers Power and the all Navies of the Aughts,
the two thousand aughts era.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be bringing back an iconic
look for their home opener during Work three against the
New York Jets. Not quite the Chargers Navy, but the
team announced Tuesday, to celebrate their fiftieth NFL season, they
will don the original seventy six John McKay uniform, white jerseys, helmets,
and pants with orange and red stripes. These unis were

(11:41):
worn for the just inaugural year in seventy six. Then
the full orange cream sickle design was used, and then
the multiple times they cool.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
It's much better than the Pewter and whatever. But when
the Pewter came out, when it started, it was like Okay.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
It was pretty sweet, but now it's run.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
It's going the mike.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Back to the Sickle follow up from yesterday. Teddy Bridgewater,
who was suspended from his high school football coaching job
for providing players with impermissible benefits he received in social
media or the real Yeah, he was suspended. He revealed
it all in his social media post. Bridgewater was the

(12:27):
coach of Miami Northwestern. He coached him to a state
title first season last year. Posted on Facebook that he
was looking for some help to pay for the player's
expenses since he was paying out of his own pocket
for him, which is not odd. There's a lot of
backlash from people who say that Bridgewater is just helping
the kids, trying to level the playing field for what

(12:48):
the private schools are doing already. He isn't paying the players,
but merely providing food and transportation for kids to get
to school.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
I mean, we've heard about that van read.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
If they can't and get through the.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Door, I'm sorry, who is that?

Speaker 1 (13:03):
How will these children learn to read? They can't even
get through the door.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Where are my white children.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
My white students? Stand up? These are my white children.
I believe that speech was made by Teddy brit Right.
I hope it works out. But if he broke the rules.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah, school's not well.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
They were probably pressured by the their version of the
CIF to suspend him, which is unfortunate. She's got people
standing up for Teddy, which hopefully we'll put pressure on
Miami Northwestern to reinstitute him for just helping some kids
out with a nice meal.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Their version of the CIF is called orange Face Mangrove
Nose and it is a big, big, it's huge organization
in America's.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Peenis That's why why God stepped out.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Orange Face mangrove nos for life. Matt, there is a
You're our Indian, our Indian Americans the person of record here. Uh.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
This is a sad story over the Turbine. Torpedo was
the nickname of Fauja Singh, Indian born runner, believed to
be the world's oldest marathon er still running in sanctioned races. Sadly,
Uh died succumbed to his injuries, hit by a car
while practicing and running out there on the roads at
one hundred and fourteen years old. Uh severe head injuries,

(14:22):
hit and run yesterday from his native village near Jalan
Dahar in Punjab.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
He was, that's why you know that's right. You got
to know how to got to get your pronunciation right on.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
The Bollywood Smith there. I can't wait till the Chargers
get it out.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Oh, it's going to be the best caught by Pandya
Simir Pandya Torienso.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
We'll be right back with Margaret. One's fired on La Sport.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
No.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
I was doing the story about the turbine. You know,
you know it gooes. We we celebrate all cultures.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Half hour go four our show seven o'clock. We'll replay
our inside the Locker room with Ben Casparrius. If you're
Dodger fans, if you missed it, it was early yesterday at
four o'clock. We'll get back to that in about a
half hour. But first conversation with our man, Mark Medina
on all things NBA.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Joining us right now and NBA expert reporter with the Lakers.
Remember when he was up there with the Warriors. You
hear him on Fox Sports Radio, you see him on
CBS R. You's big. It is Mark Medina, Petros and
Money Show guest on your Southern California Toyota Dealers celebrity hotline.

(15:35):
What's cracking? Mark? How are you?

Speaker 5 (15:38):
I am doing well even though the Vegas Heat losing money,
you know, some choice beverages and Lebron James drama. I'm
not exhausted. I'm ready for it all.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Speaking of the Lebron James drama, Mark, help us process
this because it doesn't really feel like anything is going
to happen. It's just weird offseason posturing or are we wrong?
Would you be surprised if something actually took place here
other than you know, talking about dinner and wine and
Craig's Yeah.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
Petre's like a lot of times, you're one hundred percent right.
What it comes down to is Lebron James wants his
money and he wants to eat it too, or wants
your kick and eat it too. This is his last
gas at trying to pressure up for an office into
making win now moves, and you understand it. Lebron could
be in the final year of his career or another

(16:30):
year after that because of where he's at his age.
He wants to win championships. So do the Lakers, but
you know they're gonna do it through the lens of
what's best for Luka Doncic. Because he's the next star
and because he's still in his prime, they can think
a little bit more strategically beyond next season. So I
think that's where it is. But I think the reality is,

(16:52):
you know, he can yell or subtly he hasn't yelled yet,
but suddenly say he wants to break up. But when
it comes to you know what that means. That means
that he'd have to negotiate a buyout, which not going
to happen. That means the Lakers would have to find
a viable trade partner that would give him enough assets
in return, and I don't think that's going to happen either.

(17:12):
So like with this entire relationship with Lebron James and
the Lakers, it's been transactional from day one. I think
he'll be a transactional toward the end. He'll retire as
a Laker, may not feel warmest and fuzzy, but he'll
at least play good basketball.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
One of those transactions was selecting his son with the
fifty to fifth pick of the twenty twenty four NBA Draft.
You watch the Summer League broadcast and you would think
we're watching the second coming of lebron James the way
he is being celebrated now. Mark, I may not watch
the NBA as closely as I once did, but I
remember when you had to drop like forty in a

(17:49):
summer league game because of the nature of the game
for really people to say, Okay, he's a little too
good for the summer league. Let's get to the NBA season. Like,
am I missing something with how Brownie looks? He looked
better than last year. But this is not one of
those summer league performances where you're like, yeah, I get
this guy out of here.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
He's too good.

Speaker 5 (18:08):
Yeah, no, you hit on the head. He's better. But
I think when you're starting at the bottom last year,
you can only go up. I think, in fairness to Bronnie,
you know what his short term trajectory could be is
on a regular season roster end of rotation, doesn't play
a lot of minutes consistently, but is at least not
on a two way contract and playing in the G League.

(18:28):
I think the reasons is, you know, he's professional, he
works hard, doesn't have the entitlement good practice player, and
you know teams and coaches value that. I don't know
if he is going to be in his career a
rotation end of the bench player, at least not yet.
But you know, in fairness and you know, you can

(18:49):
laugh at all you want. There are some people I've
talked to in the NBA that do think that his
long term trajectory could emphasis on the word, could be
that where he's eighth, ninth, tenth man on a roster
getting some minutes, you know, every season for a few
games here or there, and you know what, given where
he started, I guess that is gonna considered a success story.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Why would we laugh? Mark Medina? I is to laugh, haha.
Mark Medina joining us right now. He's at the Backstreet
Boys concert at the Sphere and we are talking about
NBA action because it's the All Star Game and it's
a little bit of a desolate tie. What what is it? Medina?

Speaker 5 (19:29):
At first, I wish I was. I wish I was
at the Backstroop.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
That's like a real to do.

Speaker 5 (19:33):
My wife, My wife went there on this trip. She
said I was the best concert she's ever seen in
her life.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
You missed out, Mark, you missed out.

Speaker 5 (19:41):
I know, you know what I had to watch Bronnie
James Bloy.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
What can I say, sorry, Sweetie, Bronni's colin, Uh, but
you spoke to it uh in the first answer, and
it is interesting. I mean, it does feel like, uh,
this is getting a little bit awkward between Luca and Lebron,
or the Lakers and Lebron. I mean, I guess maybe
this is just par for the course if Lebron is

(20:05):
on your team over the years, with all the weird
sub tweeting and things we've covered over the years. But
do you expect this to be.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
Awkward beyond awkward tweets? Honestly, not really. I think the
fascinating contradiction with Lebron James is that on the court,
he's professional, He's like team first, guy, plays the right way.
And I think that what we saw last season with
Luka donci is the film wasn't perfect, but it was

(20:33):
more because they just needed more time together. But Lebron
was totally content with Luca being the playmaker. I think
the only frustration that not only Lebron had, but sometimes
the team itself was Luca would sometimes resort to when
he was with the Dallas Mavericks before they were a
finals contending team with Kyrie Irving, where he's dribbles down,
dribbles down before the shot clock zero, and hoist a shot.

(20:55):
The Lakers do want more ball movement, but in terms of,
you know, playing a back seat to Luca in terms
of workload, shots, having a more defensive responsibility, I think
Lebron is all fine with that. It's more of the
behind the scenes of what's the front office going to
do with roster constructions. This is the best roster they
can come up with to help his odds of winning

(21:16):
a championship. That's where I think the source of conflict
can emerge. So what I think happens here is that
he reports the training camp with the Lakers uniform, he
tow's company line, down plays you know, everything that happened
this past summer, and basically blames the media, and then
he will play reasonably well beginning of the season, all
star caliber. And what we have to keep our eyes

(21:39):
on is that if or when the Lakers starts struggling,
especially leaning the trade deadline, then we could see some
more pressure about making more moves or maybe even Heaven
forbid saying I want to be moved. But I think
with all these moving parts, it's going to have a
pretty boring ending lebron James.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
Retires a laquer if since you're hearing about Bronnie from
the people, what about is there anything being discussed about
Luca in this potential extension. Is there any reason to
believe that there could be any issue there, whether it's
you know, the three so he can get more money
or the four so he can take max money. Is

(22:19):
there any issue there with him maybe waiting this thing
out another year to really decide whether or not he
wants to stay in la.

Speaker 5 (22:27):
Yeah. I think the only scenario that he doesn't sign
the extension when he's eligible August second is if it's
more tactical regarding the numbers that you mentioned, that maybe
if he waits it another year, he'll get more money.
But I don't think that he has any misgivings about
committing to the Lakers. I mean, let's be clear, he

(22:47):
was emotional and happy with the trade, but not because
it was to the Lakers. It was because he was
with the Mavericks and he thought he was going to
be their franchise corning cornerstone for his whole career. But
once he got through that, he embraced being a Laker.
I think It's also telling when the Lakers, you know,
when the Bus family Shoulder majority shared them all. Mark
Walter Luka Donci just tweet said something along the lines

(23:11):
of wanting to help the Lakers win multiple championships. Well,
without this extension, he has one year left on his deal.
If he has to win, if he wants to win
multiple championships, he's gonna have to sign a new contract
with the Lakers. So I think it's just a matter
of when, not if he signs that extension.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Hell, I remember when Lebron was gonna win six with
the Miami Heat. Mark Medina is our guests on your
Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity hotline. We are talking hoops.
You just mentioned it. Mark Walter now the owner of
the Lakers and for all practic for all practice, practice
and purposes. But I'm not sure if that means it's

(23:50):
different next year or the year after that with Genie
in charge. How do you how do you feel like
that transition is going to go and will the Lakers
automatically be a different run franchise.

Speaker 5 (24:03):
Yeah, I think I saw Sam Amic from the Athletic
reporting that Genie Buss is going to still maintain her
responsibility title for at least the next five years.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
You know.

Speaker 5 (24:14):
Even before that, the impression I got from the Lakers
was that her job description isn't changing because her responsibility
is more overseeing the business side. That's not going to change.
I think what could and likely will change is that
she would greenlight major basketball moves. I think now that
she doesn't have to worry about that, and so I

(24:35):
think what this means moving forward. I don't think this
honestly really impacts anything with how the Lakers manage Lebron
James or Luca Docich. I still think the strategy would
have been the same if the you know sale did
not happen. I think what will change is just more
and more investment in everything else behind the scenes, with

(24:56):
team staffing, analytics department, beefing up the front office us
even more, having a little bit more of a threshold
for spending to keep key role players and absorb some
of those luxury taxes. That's where I think you're going
to see the imprint or Mark Walter. The other thing is,
I don't think this is imminent, but you always have

(25:16):
to keep your eye on us. Is that inevitably when
there is new ownership, they're going to always evaluate everything.
And so at this point, JJ Reddick, Rob Plinker don't
have anything to worry about. Polinka signed a new extension
in April. He has some equity with setting the Luka
Doncic Steele to happen. Even though Nico Harrison played the
heavy part in that. JJ Reddick has gotten a lot

(25:38):
of credit within the organization where how he did his
first year head coach and is expected to continue to
get better as he gets more experienced. But you know,
at some point ownership will evaluate the results and adjust accordingly.
But those are all things more long term and short term.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Last thing for you, Mark, and we appreciate it. Out
there in Vegas, not able to attend a Backstreet Voys
show because you had to watch Brannie James take on
the Clippers other side of that court.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
That's tough, you know.

Speaker 5 (26:05):
What I mean, back streets back I will try to
get over it. I will try to get over it.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
But I heard it was a hot ticket. Robert Parris
was there. Everybody that right, don't want to be sitting
behind him about this.

Speaker 5 (26:19):
My wife told me that Lance Bass was in the
in the building. Instinct member and join the backstroop.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
That tells you what kind of ticket that way?

Speaker 1 (26:27):
What's next? Wade Bog's going to be a Yankee? What? Uh?

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Last thing?

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Mark the Clippers are man adam oslind Uh in the
other room does a bang up job on the pre
half and post and in game commentary for the Clippers.
They signed Brook Lopez. A lot of people are expecting
them to get into the buy out market, maybe for
the likes of Bradley Beal or maybe Chris Paul Like
what is there anything? Is there anything happening when it

(26:56):
comes to the Clippers.

Speaker 5 (26:58):
Yeah, I would keep my eye out on what you
just mentioned about the Clippers being very interested in getting
Chris Parr. Bradley Beal obviously remains to be seen, but
that's very a strong possibility. I think beyond that, what
we've seen with the Clippers is that they try to
thread the needle of retaining the uh, you know, their
most of their core, but also giving themselves some cap

(27:21):
flexibility so that they could make a major move, you know,
next summer. And I think you know the reason why
I concluded that is, uh, not extending Norman Palell really
signifies that they're trying to pourd assets then go all
in because Norman Pale, he played I think at an
All Star caliber level, should have been on the All

(27:42):
Star team, adjusted seamlessly as a two way bench player
from a to a two way starter. But they think
extend him when he was eligible. But I think what
they have in the short term with Kawhi Leonar being back,
James Harden returning, Niko Patum returning, getting Brook Lopez, getting
John Collins, it's a good roster, not great. It's due,

(28:03):
you know, for a first round appearance, maybe second. But
I think it's more about building that for the bridge
for next summer and maybe they make another major move
like they did six years ago with Kawhi and Paul George, like.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
The bridge to the sphere to see the Backstreet Boys
at lance Backs Watch to.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
Night or maybe or maybe into it them at some point.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Together light show with the Black Backstreet Boys, I mean
Backstreet's back. All right, Thank you, mister Medina, have a
good time out there, and our best to your lovely wife.

Speaker 5 (28:34):
I appreciate it. Or I will try to continue to uh,
you know, cope without seeing the concert while I find
my wife in glow over the best concert ever.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Drink it away, Drink your troubles away. Booze is free.
If you're sitting at a slot.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
You know I'm sitting here with you with the medinas,
and she seems to just be a lot more happy
than Mark.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
One more segment to go, You're Dead and a live
guy Birthday of the Day before we get out of here.

missed the bench consperce inside the locker room yesterday, check
out the highlights on Amphi seventy's Instagram, Facebook and Pretty
Good brought to you by Morongo Casino Resort and Spawn
ninety minutes from wherever you are celebrating twenty years.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
Of good time. I'm sure dead guy. Birthday of the day?

Speaker 2 (30:01):
How about one of the most impactful and important men
when it comes to most kids, greatest day of the
year throughout the course of their childhood happy would have
been two hundred and forty sixth to Clement Clark Moore,
the man.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
Most responsible for Santa Claus. Born in the big Time.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
I thought you're going to say, the guy responsible for
the last day of school, also of the happiest days
of the year for most children. This is the guy
who said school's out for some A bit.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
Born of the big time.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
His father, Benjamin Moore, was an episcopal bishop at the
Trinity Church in Manhattan. His father was also the president
of at the time Columbia College now Columbia University, so
big time brains in the more household. He was a writer,
He was a critic. He was no stranger to controversy.

(30:59):
He regularly tact and called out the hypocrisy of seated politicians,
particularly Thomas Jefferson and his stable of slaves. Moore was
from a wealthy family, but when he got his inheritance
he donated most of it. Sixty six Tracts of Land
of the Episcopal Diocese of New York that became the

(31:19):
General Theological Seminary. A devoutly religious man, which makes his
great impact on the Christmas holiday quite ironic. Prior to
his poem A Visit from Saint Nicholas, he was on
the board of trustees at Columbia. He ran the New
York Institution for the Blind. But in nineteen twenty three
he penned arguably the most famous verse ever written by

(31:42):
an American. Twas the night before Christmas went all through
the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
Washington Irving had already penned an idea of Saint Nick prior,
but Moore's pats our guy.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Washington Irving's a sleepy hollow. Oh that's the Knickerbocker guy.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
But More made Santa Claus arrive on Christmas Eve, ah
because of his connection with the church. The church was
pushing pushing back because they felt as though secular Christmas
was infringing upon the intention of the holidays. So More
writes this poem, No Santa Claus comes Christmas Eve. Christmas
Day is still to be focused on worship. That was

(32:24):
the idea between twas the night before Christmas. His poem
was the first to name the reindeer now Dasher, now
dancer now prancer, and vixen on comet on Cupid. He
did not name it Donner. He named it dunder on
Dunder and blixen thunderhead. His idea of stockings hung over
the fireplace to hold the toys that Santa was delivering

(32:46):
was original. The sleigh full of toys was original from
Saint Nicholas, and his depiction of Santa was a first
dressed in fur from head to foot, a bundle of
toys flung on his back. His eyes, how they twinkled,
His dimples, how merry, His cheeks like roses, his nose
like a cherry, the beard of his chin as white
as the snow. Those were all new for Santa, along

(33:08):
with the broad face and round belly that shook like
a bowl full of jelly, and of course the idea
that Santa brought the children toys. The verse he spoke
not a word, filled all the stockings and then turned
with a jerk, and of course the final line, Happy
Christmas to all into all the good night.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Now.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
The interesting thing was that Moore did not want to
attribute himself to it.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
He was Oh, he wanted it to be anonymous.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
Well, he was just an aera dite professor at Columbia.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Like you, I mean, you're an erudite played by play Chargers.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
He was adverse to the idea of being connected to
something childish, childish and unscholar.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
I like to think of myself as aerodyte.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
But a decade after he wrote it, he would include
it into a book of compiled poems.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Yeah that was me that likes it. Yeah, that was me.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Also interesting. He lived on the west side, just above
Greenwich Village, and his home was called Chelsea, the name
that the neighborhood took on and still has today. Married
nine children. Trinity Church and the attached cemetery hold a
reading of that poem at his headstone before service every

(34:20):
Sunday before Christmas every year, a tradition that has now
lasted one hundred and fifteen years. Happy birthday, Clement Clark Moore.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Well all right, uh, Matt, we will do uh, we'll
do Jamaican news. What you hear this guy?

Speaker 4 (34:37):
America News?

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Today we celebrate j. Sutherland real name Jase Southerland, thirty
seven years.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Old, today so again named j Sutherland, real name Jay
jud But he.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Goes by popcorn popc on popca n like saying popcorn
with a Jamaican accent. Popcorn from Saint Thomas Parrish in
Port Moore, Jamaica. He is a dancehall reggae star of
the modern variety, lots of street drama growing up in

(35:17):
Port Moore and matt But he does seem like a
fun and happy, go lucky guy.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
How old is he?

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Pretty? Seven now? Uh? He hit the scene about seventeen
years ago. I first heard of him with a guy,
of course named Vibes Cartel, a very famous Jamaican dancehall guy.
Vibes Carteli, the Gozz of music Empire, took him under
his wing. He got the name where his close friend Scrumpy,
who died due to street violence, he named him Popcorn.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
Vibes in prison right now, No, he's out, he's out.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
He's out with a visa.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Here in the States. He's all over okay.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
And he's getting like he looked pretty rough right when
he got out of prison. He's getting healthier. Vibes is
looking better. It was Cartel that fostered his career. Vibes
Cartel and until he went to jail in twenty ten.

(36:16):
Vibes Cartel was his breakthrough partner in the song Clark's
Very Popular in Jamaica, the British Shoes Clark's Clark's We
Prefer Vibes Cartel went to jail, the rapper Drake took
Popcorn under his wing and he is on Drake's label
now Ovo with the Owl, which is Warner Brothers. It

(36:41):
started out with a lot of party anthems and things
like that, but now he does more positive cultural stuff
as well. He made his acting debut a couple of
years ago in a movie called The Intent to the
Come Up British crime film.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Okay, It's Last Superman with super Dog and mister Terrific,
that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
I don't know if mister mister Terrific makes an appearance
in this British film. His last album came out in
twenty twenty three. He has Drake on it and Berner Boy.
A lot of collaborations. Matt more famous for the Jamie
x X collaboration. He did Good Times collaboration with the
Gorillas that was pretty big called Saturn's Bars. A lot

(37:28):
of collaborations with rappers for popcorn. Popcorn has trouble getting
a visa. My old friend Orrin, why I don't know.
My old friend Orrin from World Tribe, the drummer who's
now like a sound guy and puts on big concerts,
was doing a big what they call soundclash in Atlanta
and he told me. He says, dude, Popcorn's coming. The

(37:50):
unruly crew is gonna be there.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
You gotta get on a plane.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
He said, right. And I said, dude, with all due respect,
I'm not buying it. That guy ain't getting a visa.
And Orrin came back and he said, very successful show,
great soundclash. I said, a popcorn show. He said, couldn't
get a visa.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Well, that's unfortunate.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
It is boos.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
You got one criminal element to popcorn.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
No, but you know, I mean I don't know no popcorn. No.
You know. But sometimes it's the slapper lady around in Jamaica.
They give you an award. No, I believe that, you know.
Sometimes he's dabor. Sometimes these neighborhoods are affiliated with various

(38:39):
like lottery schemes, things of that nature, you know, phone fraud.
I'm not saying, but that's taken down more than one
dancehall star in the past. We'll be back tomorrow, Petrol
some Money show will start at three the aftermath of
the All Start Game. Anim will still be here.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
Don McClain be Don McClain, Adam Oslin's the second to
