plus hours. Our brand of sports talk is great sports,

to do with this guy? Which you already heard. And
as far as the guys we are talking about, is
not just Tim Kats who's starring denied on Spectrum Sportsnet LA.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
That's why he sprayed cologne on his head.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Only the back of his head.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Tim Kats has got Spectrum Sports net. He's produced a
lot of shows, All CIF Baseball in ninety.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Sixty's producer Rush shows All CIM Baseball in six.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
See everybody.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
See him and embrace him as a man tonight on
Spectrum Sportsnet LA. And if you have one of those
smell things like Danny DeVito does and all the Jersey
Mike's commercials, maybe you can catch a whiff of the wall.
Tim Kats one of the great radio men in the
history of the city of Los Angeles. On television tonight.

(02:37):
Ronnie Foscio is with us as well on the ones
and twos at Ronnie Fossio on Twitter. Don't step to
him and he is Matt Ronnie Foston step to me,
he'll stip breg back. Ronnie Fossio is, on a very
informal Textoso straw Pole the number one candidate to place

(03:01):
the retired Victor Brick Jacobs on two Edemano two.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
Oh is that right?

Speaker 2 (03:07):
That is apparently according to the Textoso. Now, we don't
know what Vic's status is once he figures out what
his contract is and if we can bring him on
the phone or whatever. You know what I'm saying, Matt.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
He did send us a text yesterday saying thank you
for the big love on Latuia Tuesday. Miss you guys,
Bless you guys.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Right, So, I don't know how that bodes for the future,
But Ronnie has been there. There's gonna be an Iowa
caucus and Ronnie has been Some textosos have nominated themselves.
It's like, here's a guy from the eight one to
eight nominated himself. You know, I mean a few things

(03:50):
like that has happened. But Ronnie Fossio, he's my only
issue with leader in the clubhouse right now.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Here's my one issue with Ronnie.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
And I saw a couple of tweets on X about it.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
He he has not only been accused of but has
been caught red handed cheating during two Edemuto two.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Well, I mean I'm not saying.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Look, I'm just saying, does that preclude him from being
a participant when he is a known cheater?

Speaker 2 (04:17):
I know what you're saying.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
He has whispered answers into vic seers in the past,
and that that's happening. That has happened, Matt.

Speaker 6 (04:23):
You are right about that.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
And not only that, Matt, but I believe he's gotten
into it with a host, not just any host either,
Rodney Pete, the host here that has the most connections
to famous people, doesn't n Yeah, And you know, let
me just say this, And there's a pecking order, right Like,

(04:45):
I'm not saying that there's a pecking order, But you
don't walk into the running back room in Philadelphia and
sit in Saquon Barkley's chair and spread out your playbook
and you know, act like nothing happened, like a food
check in jail.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Now, you guys here they just pick me up off
the practice squad from the from the text.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Right, Yeah, I'm here. I'm here from Simo, Southwest Missouri States.
So all I'm saying is that there is a there's
a little bit of a flippantce there with Ronnie that
you worry about, and you worry about the two the
volatility of two ed mono twesday. You worry that maybe

(05:25):
Ronnie would get in a fight with us, and then
what do we have another three and a half hours
a show. Uh.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
And it's awkward, very awkward.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
You know. So that's something to consider as well. But
you know, remember when that guy think of it. Remember
when that guy speaking of Iowa the caucus, was it
Howard Dean was at his name exactly? That guy was
like the number one guy, and then they gave him
the job and he screamed like a like a wild

(05:54):
animal he won.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
That's the actual scream from a man who had just
won the Iowa caucus to be the Democrats nomination for
president of the United States.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
So, I mean, it's just something to consider with the
chairman of the board whose weekend dominates yours.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
I mean, I do think it makes it great Canada. Absolutely,
it does make a lot of sense.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
His weekend is ron Ronny.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
This says Matt's calling Ronnie Pete Rose like he corked.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
The bat well. Remember Vic used to crank his headphones. Yeah,
Ronnie would help him out, and we could hear Ronnie
say things like Richard Simmons, Richard Simmey. That was my
downfall right there, Damn echos Echo got you mecho Vick.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Here's the text that says, stop being hoes. Off the
spots on two Edemano and donate the winnings to pay
for vixed com rex or donate to the dream Center.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
I think maybe the dream Center.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
What about vix comrace.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Does he need it?

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Well?

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Maybe, yeah, I guess maybe.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Wow. You see, it's that kind of flippant, Matt, it's
that kind of flippant.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
I was thinking of, like you just saying you can
auction off a weekly appearance for Vic, Like, hey, we're
gonna pay him five hundred bucks to come on the
show once a week and we auction that off or
you know, to the people. But I guess that doesn't
really make sense because then the people want to come
on and that's why they're paying.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Eddie Jarvis at a Saan Pedro wants a shot.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
He's a comedian, stand up comedian. He thinks on his feet.
I like, Isabelle.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Isabelle's a great question.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
I mean, yeah, Isabelle would be great.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, so, I mean it's a it's not even Tuesday
and we have six days to worry about it. But
it's food for thought. Like you said, Matt, we got
a lot of dudes, and it's not just you met
Tim Kaits and the chairman of the board, Ronnie.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah, it actually kind of is.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
But we also have James Worthy joining the show in
the very next segment.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
I thought you meant in terms of who else could
possibly be part of it, Well, I'm just talking about
all the nights Helothon crew. We don't really have the
Colin Coward a. We're going to get your carafe of
orange juice in a bunch of bagels and some fresh fruit.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
We don't have some that. We don't have an omelet
maker to help us get through the next three hours
four hours, but we do have James Worthy. I know
that you're a little bit disillusioned with the pro basketball
scene in Los Angeles.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
It's very depressing, But that.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Doesn't mean that James Worthy can't grab us by the
hand and pull us through the thicket and make some
sense of the Lakers, who did just pull off a victory.
Not to mention a bold though not successful, but bold
running hook shot from Brodny James.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
I believe it to be the worst shot taken in
the NBA this season.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Just the other night. And then there's the trade talk,
trade talk, mind numbing trade talk about Lebron.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
Trayton tray Ton mine wull be tray Tony.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
You know you got Jonathan Caminga and Andrew Wiggins for
le Brown Me who says, no, you ain't throwing the
first round pick. I can totally see that happening.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Man.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, so we have James Worthy, a jazz aficionado who
will join us, and a Hall of Famer, and got
to be pretty excited about the North Carolina Bill Belichick pick.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Look at that, it's gotta be the Nuggets.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Let's go heels, Let's go heels. Very exciting. Seventy two
years old coming to a seventeen year old's house near you,
with a face like Scott Boris and a twenty four
year old girlfriend and the most expressive NFL resume of

(09:49):
all time, Bill Belichick and the how.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
I mean, you know, okay, if you want to come, come,
you know, I think if you don't, I don't care, really,
I just got come. You work hard. You're great or don't.
I don't give a damn. They're struggling, So what do
you say? They're struggling and recruiting. So James Worthy is
going to join us in the very next segment. And yes, yes, yes, Kate,

(10:16):
I thought you had left for Spectrum.

Speaker 7 (10:18):
No.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
No.

Speaker 6 (10:18):
By the way, all these NFL sleuths are like, well,
you know he was first on the chefter had this,
so and so had it. But really the internet sleu
are the one who had it first because they're the
ones who saw that. The twenty four year old girlfriend
of Bill Belichick started following North Carolina cheer on Instagram.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
I can be part of that.

Speaker 6 (10:37):
Really got to go.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
I can be somewhere there to bell. I can do
things there too. Can you give me to be like
a power couple there? I want to be the coach
of the cheers. Let me coach that. I have some
great idea the Alpha. I don't like how angular they
are and their chairs, and I want to make it
more flood.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
I'm going to do.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
You can't do flags. We're going to start you out
with the short flags, then move you up to the
long flat missus Belichick. Uh so, everybody's looking forward to that.
Big shout out to everybody involved in the North Carolina
hiring of one of the most decorated football coaches of

(11:16):
all time. Did Vince Lombardi go coach at Minnesota after
he left Green Bay? No, he died. But Bill Belichick
is going to u n C.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah, and Matt, I'm trying to think if sorry, I'm
racking my brain to think if there was a.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Pressure in my brain.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Oh yeah, I mean it goes the oh, Bill Walsh.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Stanford Robinson, a USC. Yeah, Yeah, it's happened a whole
bunch of times, Schnellenberger and Fau. No, I'm just kidding.
Butch Davis is right.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Back back from Fland.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
So yeah, it happens all the time. Coaches jump all around.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
We also have a turn to the Great State of
Texas with the Winter Meetings and baseball talk and the
Dodger victory lap continues. Yes, the tea SIPs hosting the
world of baseball. There has been no lack of hot

(12:20):
stories from this year's Winter Meetings. Our own David Vassa
has been embedded like a tick on a tick on
a docs and getting us all the information about everything
going on.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
I'm gonna need a lighter and a credit card to
get the doction.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Carrett and we will have a conversation with the one
and only Dave Roberts today scheduled and David Vetsy in
our very next hour. Speaking of dudes that are gonna
come on? Is that correct? Tim Katsub Spectrum Sports and
at LA.

Speaker 6 (12:52):
Yeah, Dave Roberts was in Japan a week ago.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
He was in Dave Roberts is doing what a lot
of the Dodgers should be, maybe doing a little bit
more of and far being for me to tell people
what to do with their off season. But if you
just won the World Series in La and a billion
people I believe is the number showed up for the parade,
I don't know, I was in Boise. If you just
pulled that off and everybody's thirsty for Dodger Blue stories

(13:22):
and Dodger Blue content, Dave Roberts is the one doing
it right, Matt. He's going to Oki Nawa taking the honors,
doing a commercial.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
He's doing his stuff.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Showing love. He's going to the what is it the
Scouts of America thing tonight, the Jamboree, the Jamborees being honored.
They're gonna all paint their faces and run around a
huge bonfire for him. And he's coming on our show.
He's doing Dodger Talk with David Vasse. That's the kind

(13:56):
of victory lap that all the Dodgers should be doing.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Hey, he's been going out to all these games, as
you mentioned. I saw him at the Charger game two
weeks ago. They're spinning a siren on a field.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Why isn't Key k Hernandez on a tandem bike on
the Santa Monica Pier like Three's Company.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
I think he is.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
You know, why aren't every Why isn't everybody else taking
advantage of the victory lap?

Speaker 3 (14:18):
I think he's on a palatial estate from a widely
respected attorney.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
You think Sweet James Compound in Puerto Rico. He is
waving over at Sweet James and Cross Compound and Compound.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Communication, Compounded Compound.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Hey, send your security guy over here. Here's a really
special bottle of Puerto Rican liqueur. Okay, you send your
security guy over here with his very special bottle of
Puerto Rican liqueur ploublic. So we're all over the Dave
Roberts victory Lap. And then the David Vase continued reporting
to a scar watch and all that stuff that has

(14:59):
been going on on out in Texas. What's the latest?
Who's to say?

Speaker 3 (15:04):
What are the headlines?

Speaker 2 (15:06):
What are the headlines from the hot Stove. We will
have all of that, plus we'll have a top story
of the day. We'll have a flip top story of
the Day. I mentioned James Worthy. Tim Kates is on
TV tonight. Ronnie is a candidate for two ed Mono
Tuesday next Tuesday. What a crazy time to be a lot. Kates.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
Did you ever track down who won the overseas trip
that you ejected yourself from our Christmas party a little
bit earlier?

Speaker 5 (15:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (15:36):
I did.

Speaker 6 (15:36):
Actually, it turns out somebody who won it had already
won a prize earlier.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Oh, we do that to people.

Speaker 6 (15:42):
And so they were disqualified. But the prize they had
won was like a YouTube gold record look alike, you know, like, yeah,
they didn't and they were so upset, but they couldn't
win because that was in the rules.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
They couldn't give back the crappy prize to get the
great prize.

Speaker 6 (15:56):
Couldn't do it, couldn't do it was too late.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
They had a chance to when you won the constitute
my green beans for a cheesecake at the end of
the night.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
So then what happened.

Speaker 6 (16:06):
Turns out they went back and pulled a second number
and uh Don Martin style. Yes, our friend Tracy Murray
in sales won the trip.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Oh wait to go Tracy.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
You don't, Matt. A lot of people agreed with you.
A lot of people took umbrage with Tim Kate's acting
all hard about the prizes we have to go give
away and then showing up there like a panting uh
spaniel waiting for somebody to give him a prize, waiting
for the scraps to fall off the iHeart Executive, fifth
floor FM table. You guys looking at yeah like a

(16:42):
dirty little scoundrel.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Tickets please.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
A lot of people had a problem with the way
Tim Kates uh purported himself yesterday at the Christmas party.
You want to defend yourself, Tim.

Speaker 6 (16:53):
I have no problem with what I did yesterday. I
earned those four tickets and put him in those boxes
to see if I could win a.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Prize with a day to reflect. You still believe you
have the right demeanor, yep, walking out of there, coming
over here and bitching and moaning and pitching a fit
to the two of us about how you were wrong?
Then can you believe this guy won this and that
guy won that? And where's my prize? And why didn't
I win anything?

Speaker 2 (17:16):
What about the early people?

Speaker 3 (17:17):
What about the early people?

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Why is that guy's steak bigger than my steak?

Speaker 3 (17:20):
That's what it was? Kate's should be ashamed? And did
we found out if that overseas trip is in fact
just to fight over the Sultan Sea.

Speaker 6 (17:28):
I'll find out from Tracy. I don't think it is.
I think it's a flight over the uh Salts.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
I don't think you can pull that off city they
said it was overseas.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
I mean, we're from the Salt Sea. Look down there,
you go on your way to Phoenix. Here's your airbnbing Glendale.
Oh and we threw it five hundred dollars cremation? Is
this great?

Speaker 6 (17:50):
I just wanted to win Dodger tickets. I just wanted
to win a TV. I wanted to win something, So
does everybody. So did the other one hundred and twenty
would you say one hundred and twenty five people? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (17:59):
But I.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Deserved it bad. Look for the Petros and Money Show.
You were a poor representative of the program that we
put together every single day.

Speaker 5 (18:09):
Cates.

Speaker 6 (18:10):
Good thing is nobody knew who I was over there
because it was so much turnover. I don't know who
anybody else was.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, incognito. Caates just just gnawn at the scraps at
the bottom of the rich man's table, like the French Revolution.

Speaker 6 (18:24):
It was awkward when Dave Weis was seeing it and
he didn't know who. I don't know, like nine of
the ten winners were.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Has anybody done a wellness check on Dave Weis since
he mced that event.

Speaker 6 (18:34):
His door to his office is open, but he's not
in there, so I don't know.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
I think I saw the soles of his shoes. He
was laying on his back when I walked. I don't
know he was.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
I'm glad you just say he wasn't hanging from thee
Jesus Maden the soles of his shoes and bad.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
I think he was just napping.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
That would be a great AM Radio story. The guy
hosted the company Christmas party and I hug himself in
his own.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
With a note that says, nobody appreciates me.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
You're so thirsty Kates. It is kind of an embarrassed
look that you went over there with your tongue hanging out,
all thirsty for a prize, eyes all crazy and rolling
around like dice on a felt in your head.

Speaker 6 (19:24):
Yeah, exactly what I did. I'm not ashamed at all.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Look, he's crazy.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
It's the equivalent caates of going to a football game
with your face painted and you get all excited and
you're like, oh, this is gonna be great. I used
to and then you lose the game and you walk
out and your face painted. Sad guy, you all out
of the Christmas party, all angry because you didn't win
a stupid ass prize.

Speaker 6 (19:44):
I was like a listener to PMS during the break
said one of these remotes when Matt gives that numbers.
He's like, four, three, eight, put your hands up, who's
still alive? Not you? And I was like, yeah, yeah,
I'm still alive. One two, Yeah that's me.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Four damn it.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
Yeah, we'll get me upset about that move. But it
entertains the people. I think.

Speaker 6 (20:06):
I was not entertaining because I didn't win this shit.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
Yeah, well, free.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Handout, Kates, that's all he wants. What do you do
for the company. It's not like you work twenty hour
days every week.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
I put my ticket in the one day paid vacation.
I'm sorry. I thought they said one day. Can I
get my ticket back out of there? I thought it
said one week, but it says one day.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
One day. It's one day, Ronnie, one day.

Speaker 6 (20:30):
And fine Brinton says you cannot use with another day
back to back.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
I mean, that's crazy.

Speaker 6 (20:37):
One day, one day more allowed on Mondays or Fridays.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
One more day till revolution. All right, well we'll be back.
We're gonna talk to James Worthy, our most worthy of guests.
Also a unc.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
Alum bella check, bela check.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
You could talk to us about the excitement of Bill Belichick.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
He ain't gonna sign it. I won't believe until the
inks dry.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Would you stop?

Speaker 3 (21:05):
He ain't going there.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
You know, it's that kind of flipping attitude that upset
John Hayman the other day on Sports Rate.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Take on Louisville and Duke Syracuse, Stanford, Stanford and cal
SMU SMU. That's where you're going. That's where arguably the
greatest coach in the history of football is going.

One of our favorite people, a hero to the city,
and Bill Belichick will never be as big of a
hero to the people of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Never
The Lakers, well, the last time we've talked to them
they were toiling, and since then they kind of win
over the Trailblazers, So I guess things are a little
bit better. Emmy Award winner sitting out there with Geeter

(22:44):
and Bob Orie doing the Lord's work on spectrum sports
met and simply one of the greatest Lakers of all
time and a representative of a time when NBA basketball
was very pure to us and they rode and commercial
jets and eight hot dogs as James Worthy as offensives.

(23:05):
What's cracking, James? How are you? Hey? Man?

Speaker 5 (23:09):
All good? Just trying to enjoy some of this time
off and reflecting on the Lakers and what's to come.
That's where we are.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
First and foremost was the win over Portland a little
bit of a I mean, obviously you got to win
that game, because if you don't, things are much worse.
But did you see anything there that made you feel
like the ship has been rided a little bit?

Speaker 5 (23:39):
Not really? I mean Portland was, you know, a team
that's not, like I said, They're not one of the
teams that we're concerned about. They're not you know, they were,
they were limited. But what I did like was I
know that we have players on this team they can play.
I like the way the ball moved. I like the

(24:01):
way guys were aggressive. Ad was able to dominate, but
they're also able to get productions some other players. The
ball was moving very well and so for that, I
hope that they're able to capture or recapture, you know,
some of the play that they were playing earlier in

(24:22):
the season, even though they weren't playing the dominant teams.
They got Minnesota and Messi's coming up, so we'll see
if they have learned how to you know, get back
to what they need to do or what needs to
be done on both ends of the course.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
I know, h don't want to focus too much on
on the last game, or for that matter, a game
two games ago, but you know, your comments, I'm sure
you know, kind of made the rounds on social media
obviously somebody whose opinion means a lot of people. You're
one of the all time Laker greats. What I've got
to believe you've been on a team that it's just

(24:58):
kind of come out flat, But like what leads to
a game looking like that? Because along with kind of
your postgame comments, the other thing that made the rounds
was the lack of defensive rotations and guys just being
flat footed against the heat for like quarters on end.
What is it that goes into something like that one
Guys just don't have it, Seemingly from the.

Speaker 7 (25:16):
Tip I'm not accustomed to it, right, I am accustomed
to I am accustomed to shots not going in.

Speaker 5 (25:28):
Okay, I'm accustomed to things not going well on offense.
But I've never been accustomed to not have an effort
on defense. And obviously, obviously the first thing I see
is a lack of communications. Are maybe it's a misunderstanding
of what they're supposed to be doing. That's the only

(25:50):
thing I can come up to. I see guys putting
their hands up looking at one another when there's no
rotation on the backside, a lot of blaming, you know,
what's going on? So that and I know they practiced it,
and you know, so that's kind of weird to me.
I don't. I don't. I don't have a poll on

(26:10):
thath because I mean, I mean, I mean, I hope
that the locker room is senergy is good. It seems
to be there liking one another. I don't. I don't
see that. But I mean, but something's not happening on
the court, and I don't know what that is. And
that's that's that's kind of weird to me. I've never
seen flat footed, no rotation standing it. I don't know.
As one game, somebody got a rebound an opponent and

(26:34):
I can't remember who it was. They got a rebound
right under the bucket and all they had to do
was put it back up and they threw it back
out to an open three. It was weird, and the
Lakers were just standing around. I don't I don't know
what that frustration is, but I hope that they've had
some time off to think about it, because the under
the microscope and they will be examined for, you know,

(26:56):
every little thing they do now.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
You know, and to his credit, you know, when JJ
Reddick did the post game, he came out and said,
it's embarrassing for me. I'm the coach. This is my team,
so I've got to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
You know, we kind of acknowledged that, but he also
put it on the players. He said, I'm not the
one out there they can call reds. I'm not the
one out there that can they can rotate, they can
they can give effort. Kind of I'm sure you saw it, James,

(27:21):
you probably saw it live when he said it. What
did you make of his reaction and kind of what
have you made so far through twenty some games of
how JJ's coaching this team.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
Coaches will always take responsibility, you know, but coaches can't play.
That's why Phil Jackson never used to call timeouts. You
guys figured it out, right, You guys figured it out
on you on your own. You're getting beat by thirty five.
Don't look to me. You figured it out. So yeah,
it's up to the players, you know, and and and
a coach has to take the blame. He's the coach.

(27:52):
But he's given them a plan they're not executed. I'm
sure he's not saying, look, on this particular play, we're
gonna fool him, wing gonna rotate, We're just gonna see
what happens. He's not saying that. He's not saying that.
He's not saying, look, run as fast as you can

(28:16):
on the fast break. But getting back on defense, just
try a little bit, say some energy. I don't think
he's saying that. So those are players' responsibilities. And obviously
there's some frustration going on. I don't know what it is,
because when you're not getting back on defense and when
you're not you know, rotating, this is frustration. Now. I

(28:39):
don't know what that is. And it happens teams get
frustrated sometimes. That's why they have team meetings and closed
door meetings stuff like that. They got to figure it out.
But they're better than that and like to not be
to not play defense. Look, you don't get to get
on the plane that night, you catch the bus.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Get the white Castle, white Castle.

Speaker 5 (29:03):
They get the white Castle. That might have been too
That might have been too good. We maybe we have
to get away from white Castle. Those are good.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
We looked up the White Castle and there's only one
in Orlando, so they would have been about halfway there
if they stopped at Orlando. The Great James Worthy is
our guest and we love talking talking to him. Spectrum
Sportsnet of course, Emmy Award winner and one of the
greatest Lakers of all time. Uh, what is it like?
I know these guys travel differently and the NBA is

(29:31):
a lot different than it used to be. But what
what is it like playing in the NBA this time
of year when it's the holidays and football's going on?
Does it does it feel like a slog or does
everybody still have fresh legs because the season started pretty recently.

Speaker 5 (29:48):
And you got to be ready. You know, the holidays
is you know, that's that's high alert for you as
an athlete, you know you you. I mean I always
love being ready doing the holidays because I knew I
was gonna be on television and I know people are
home for the holidays watching me. I know, I just
don't have an audience, so yeah, I mean, there's no

(30:11):
downtime in the holidays. Is where you're you know, you're
you're your antennas are up for performance and entertaining people.
I mean, obviously you know you want to win games
and play as a team, but yeah, the holidays are
made for athletes, and that's where you shine, and that's
where you have most of your energy. I mean, you

(30:32):
might eat a little turkey. I eat a little bit
too much, but you know you get over that. You know,
you're trying to, you know, perform and entertain and you're
gonna you know, chances are your own television sometime and
everybody's watching you. That's when you go That's when you
go for it.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
James we uh, we brought this up. I think it
was earlier. It might have been Monday. I think it's
Monday because now with the way that free agency works
in the NBA, there's a certain date when players signed
contracts in the offseason can be traded, and it's the
unofficial beginning of the trade season, and all the speculation
and the agents planting seeds and teams planting seeds and

(31:11):
using their mouthpieces to get the word out on certain players.
But and we said, this is this is asinine. It's
an exercising futility to have the Lebron James trade conversation. Right,
he has no interest in being traded anywhere, and he's
got a no trade clause. Can you envision any scenario
where that guy gets traded?

Speaker 5 (31:31):
No? I cannot. I mean, he's here and I think
he wants to be here. I can't imagine the Lakers
trading lebarn right now. I mean I haven't. It's never
entered my mind, and I just don't have a lot
of energy to think about what scenario that could make

(31:54):
that happen unless they walked couple them on and said
trade me. Yeah, I don't think that's gonna happ.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
Do you think they'll make a deal. Do you get
the sense that this is a team that maybe isn't
quite complete, that could maybe use a shake up, that
there are pieces that might fit better that aren't on
the roster right now.

Speaker 5 (32:13):
I just don't know what's available and what we would
have to give up. I'm I'm okay with what we
have right now. If we could get guys to play
the way they're supposed to play, I don't know. I
don't know about Van der Belt. I don't know. Now
they're saying all Star break of February. I'm not sure
about Woods, but that would help. But unless just somebody

(32:36):
out there that's going to make a major change, that
you might be able to give Valus Tunas to back
up ad Or. But I just don't know if there's
anything out there that's gonna I mean, unless there's a
major trade where we have to give up Weather, we
have to give up ruly, we have to give up players.
That's the possibility, But I haven't heard anything that has

(33:02):
any weight to it at this moment.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Speaking of weight, the Great Bill Belichick is now the
head coach at Beautiful Chapel Hill, your alma mater at UNC.
Has he called you yet worthy for some tips? What
are your thoughts about Belichick? Are there crazy North Carolina
text chains going wild that Mac Brown has been replaced

(33:27):
by a guy who's like two years younger than him,
Bill Belichick, your thoughts, and.

Speaker 5 (33:33):
Our football program is always trying to get better. I
don't know. Maybe a few years ago we were ranked
in the top twenty, Yes, but I mean, I mean
for Carolina to be ranking the top twenty, man, I
was like being ranked top one, number one to me,
But I mean, I don't know, man, you coasted the

(33:54):
NFL your whole life. There's a whole lot of jobs
in the NFL he could have taken. I mean with portals, recruiting, you.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Know, it's.

Speaker 5 (34:06):
I don't know, it's it's it's a different it's a
different monster. Obviously with his name and you know, his reputation,
he'll draw a lot of attention. Maybe maybe recruiting, but
with with with with portal now and players getting to
you know, leave and go. I think I think he's

(34:28):
a coach that's he's been the GM and and president. Uh.
He he controls everything. I'm not sure if that's going
to be the case at the collegiate level where he
has that kind of control because players can they can come,
they can leave, and it's different. I'm happy that we

(34:50):
got it because look look at his RECORDICIL, He's done
he might be able to bring off the football program
back to a place where it needs to be or
even elevated. But I still know about professional coaches. Man,
going down down to the college, it's a different it's
a different piece of toast.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Man when uh when look, it's a basketball school. It's
one of the great basketball blue bloods in the history
of the sport. But you could make a case, you
know that that of the greatest athletes to have ever
come out of the University of North Carolina. You know
that did ride and step with the great James Worthy
and the great Michael Jordan. Is the great Lawrence Taylor?

(35:29):
Who was who was there?

Speaker 5 (35:30):
When?

Speaker 3 (35:31):
When you were there? Were you were you friends with
l t Did you guys hang out at all?

Speaker 5 (35:35):
Like?

Speaker 3 (35:36):
How what was the football program seen? Like?

Speaker 2 (35:38):
How?

Speaker 5 (35:39):
Man man, el lt Man? This is a this is
a joke, man, This was like freshman orientation. I'm not
the sophomore on he's a he's a senior. And that
first week uh a school, it's just a party for freshmen,
that's all it is. Basically. So LT's in the dorm

(36:02):
and he's standing by the elevator and you know, you
can imagine some little five six kid freshman year, he's
you know, he's got beer. He's he's gonna way from home.
He's got his girlfriend on the elevator and LT is
standing by the elevator and when the elevator opens, he's
looking at these kids and he's saying, I'm gonna give

(36:23):
you a choice. I want you a beer or your girl?
Which one? And then and then and then and they
think he's kidd and he's looking at him with no
smile on his face. He's like beer or girl. So yeah,
I mean el, I mean LT was an amazing dude.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
Man.

Speaker 5 (36:41):
Also, we got May in New England. Now we've had
a lot of offensive linemen. We get players to go
pro with the but but but the school, you know,
we we we we break the top twenty, top twenty
five every now and then. So we'll see, if you know,
if Belichick, you know, there's no question he's coaching is

(37:04):
second to nine. Maybe he can get Saban to come
up there and be an assistant coach and there you go,
and they can bring it back.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Well, we appreciate you Worthy, Maybe Saban will come and
maybe even Pete Carrol, who know, we appreciate your your
commentary as always, have a great week and we will
talk soon. The one and only James Worthy.

Edemano Tuesday, as long as the promise to bring the
blind side gut punch f you don McClain energy on

the King Dong of two Edmano. I guess that's a
vote yet for.
