Trip all summer with LA Sports. Welcome back, everybody, It's
Petterson Money on AM five seventy LA Sports. A historic day,
(03:27):
one of the biggest days ever. I remember when Matt
and I were in Phoenix, Phoenix at a Mexican restaurant
downtown with David Vasse and Mark Walter bought the Dodgers.
There were a few bids, and Mark Walters was the
one in the Guggenheim group that went through. Of course,
back then, everybody thought Magic Johnson bought the Dodgers, Which.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Where did that guy get two billion dollars?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, not the case.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
We do have Dodgers Padres coming up, Moroccango Casino, Dodgers
on deck with Tim Kats arts at six o'clock and
it is a crazy day. One of the most famous
owners in the history of modern sports is selling out.
The family is out. The Bus family is out of
the basketball ownership business. And Matt it's not like we
(04:16):
don't have a relationship with Jeanie Buss. We talked to
her once a year she comes out and does the show.
We have very warm feelings toward Jeanie with a big
weenie and we've had her on every year. We ask
her real questions. We do some pole smoking, but we've
been combing the desert spaceball style about selling the team
(04:37):
or ownership or finding hints about when or how they'd
want to be done. And just like Eddie Murphy or whatever,
we ain't found there is nothing. Yeah, wear that, there's
nothing in there, you know, because this and basically the
point I'm making is big surprise for you. Thought the
(04:59):
paw Gasol trade was a supreme this is this is
a chakra.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, it's uh, you know, you said it. It's the
Bus family. They're synonymous with sports in Los Angeles, as
synonymous as any player, as any announcer, as Chick hern
as Vince Scully, as the O'Malley family. You know, the
Buses are that they when when Doctor Buzz bought the Lakers,
he ushered in Showtime, he ushered in Magic Johnson and
(05:24):
Jerry West as a general manager and allowing a general
manager to trump an owner and not be too involved,
and created essentially a brand of basketball that still lives
on today that instead of you know, dragging it into
the mud and trying to win games seventy five, seventy two,
it's no, We're in Hollywood, and I'm going to inject
Hollywood like that's that's what the Bus Family means to
(05:47):
the history of the NBA. It's it's a huge chapter
in the history of this organization and of the National
Basketball Association. And with one transaction for you know, a
ten billion dollar valuation, so figure almost seven billion dollars
that's now gone and it's been gone for a while,
right Ultimately.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Well, yeah, I mean we can that's a conversation maybe
for another time, maybe tomorrow. What the brand has become
under our friend Genie Buss's leadership in the modern NBA.
Of course, we're all constantly being nailed by the King,
and it's highly lamented here on the show. And the
first thing everybody thinks, sadly, Matt, is not about what
(06:27):
you just described, which was eloquently done, but it's about, hey,
are we going to get out from underneath the king?
In this cheap hotel room where I'm getting.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Nailed by the king and they got nailed again.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Everybody thinks about what does it mean for the future
of the Lakers right now? Can we get rid of
Lebron and his son's And that's crazy to think about,
because that's kind of what it's become now under Genie Buzz.
But what also just strikes me, Matt, is when Mark
(07:03):
Walter bought the Dodgers. I mean, we were waiting. Everybody
knew there was a bid. It was like an audition
for a big part in a movie. Everybody wanted to
be in. It was a story, and they won the bid.
This is not the case here. This happened without anybody knowing.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
The dead of night, the Mayflower moving trucks pulling out
of Baltimore in the Midt three am.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
You mentioned it. People, no one knew about it. No
one knew about it, no one said anything. I know
Walter was in there already with his percentage ownership. So
they're basically negotiating with each other.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That's an owner side deal.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
But still Jesuless needs.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, I mean you said it, twenty five percent ownership.
He bought the Anshoots shares a while back, and now
when it was time to sell, and typically that's in
the agreement, you know, when you purchase a minority stake
the family, you know, you put an agreement in there
that says, if you are ever going to sell, I
have the first right to make an offer, or I
(08:01):
have a right to match the highest offer. So chances
are they went and said, hey, if we put a
ten billion dollar valuation on it, will you buy us out?
And Mark Walter said yes. And that's why this thing
was so quiet, because I would assume contractually, legally, they
had to do that. You mentioned that she came to
see us, you know, comes to see us every single
(08:21):
year at a summer tour stop, and we asked her
this past this past summer tour about selling and kind
of her thoughts so when and you're close with Wick,
I think as well, so when those two guys sell,
what do you think, like when you hear about what
they're getting, what they're set, why they're getting out all
(08:41):
that sort of stuff, And do you do people come
to you and say, Genie, like is there any of
that that's going on with the Lakers? Or at least
they just ask you like, why are these two guys
selling that we would have never thought with someone?
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I mean, you also have Michael Jordan who sold his
n and you know, I think that they're just people
that are always looking to challenge themselves and something else.
So certainly, you know, Wick has had his success as
the governor of the Celtics, winning championships, and you know
it's maybe he wants to do something different. And same
(09:15):
with Mark. You know, he's done a lot for.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Lowering the cost of.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Prescription drugs for people, and you know, and I expect
him to continue to do more and more now that
he doesn't have to worry about.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
The data life of public service, right exactly.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
So she just basically said, yeah, that one guy wanted
to challenge himself from the Celtics and Mark Cuban cut
some prescription.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
And there was a woo in the background.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Yeah, yeah, very I mean we found something. I mean,
it's uh, it was. It was not not something people
saw coming. I don't know how long Jeanie's is going
to stay as the governor of the team, and what
the that means as far as what the big moves
that are made, how long Rich Paul will have control,
(10:06):
and those are questions that are yet to be answered.
But if I was Lebron, I'd be packing up in home.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Beyond be packing up my stuff, right, Leebron Lames, you
would just if we base it on on history and
president I mean, look what Mark Walter did the second
he took over the Dodgers, right.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
He immediately takes on hundreds of millions of dollars in
salary to bring Adrian Gonzalez over, takes the deadweight contracts
that Boston requires him to take on. I kept what
was it, Carl Crawford or remember who else they brought in.
It was whatever they had to take on a bunch
of doubt, David Price and all that in order to
(10:43):
take on Adrian Gonzalez, and then immediately goes out and
finds the most successful general manager in Baseball and Andrew
Friedman and drops him into that post because he wanted
to send a message to Dodger fans that you know,
this is how we're going to operate. We will spare
no expense. We intend to put a championship caliber team
(11:04):
on the field immediately, and that goes from the off
the field front office all the way down to the
last player on the bench. If it cost us ten
million bucks in luxury tax to have that twenty six guy,
that's what we're going to pay if we think it
gives us a better chance to win the World Series. So,
I mean, I don't know how you couldn't be excited
about this particular group, you know, with their tens of
(11:26):
billions of dollars being the ones that bought the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I mean, you look at the guy Stan Cronky that
owns the Rams and who else does he own a
couple other He owns the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
And is it Man United or no, that's the Glaziers
who owned Man United. He owns the ANYPL team as well,
and seems like he knows how to be an owner,
right Like. Seems like his groups, whatever they do whenever
they buy a sports team. It feels like they really
know what they're doing. Nuggets, Avalanche and Arsenal people.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
That own the Chiefs. The Hunt family seems like they
kind of have it together. They have a formula, you know,
they know where they want to be. I think they
own some soccer stuff. This is that, but a thousand
times more. These guys what they did when they took
over the Dodgers. They made the Dodgers, which is already
a huge relevant brand that had been dormant because the
(12:19):
Fox group that owned it was not doing well. The
McCourt group was a travesty that literally got The only
time the town has ever boycotted the team and stopped
showing up the games was the last year of Frank
McCourt because he was that inept as an owner and
people had slept on the Dodgers. And then these people
came and the Dodgers are you could argue, the most
(12:41):
globally relevant team in the world right now because of
the moves these guys have made and what they've built.
And you think about that coupled with the Laker brand,
and you say, this guy's the limit. I mean, I'm
no business macro mogul. Mind like some people like Matt
Minderbinder over there. But at the same time, it's it's
(13:02):
not hard to see that this could be a very
fruitful marriage, just like the Guggenheims marriage with the Dodgers
is very fruitful and bears great fruit.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Yes, I'm just a piggyback off that I found a
SoundBite from Janie with you Guys in twenty nineteen the
Desert Summer Tour, and you guys asked her a question
and she started talking about how the NBA has changed,
and maybe you read into this now what six years later,
and maybe the way that the NBA has developed into
a players league and then really controlling things is kind
(13:33):
of the reasons she wanted to get out.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
We're in the era of player sharing as opposed to
you know, tee up a player staying on.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
A team for a long period of time.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
That's why when Kobe retired and I said, you know,
you're not going to see a player be on a
team for twenty years. It's not going to happen anymore
because of the changes in the Collective Bargaining Agreement, which
are means like the players signed shorter contracts, they earn
their free agency and they get an opportunity after seven
(14:04):
eight years in the league to go and you know, choose,
you know, who they want to play with, where they
want to play, the style of basketball. They earn that right,
and so you know, I think this is it's here
to stay a lot of player movement and.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
You know, but you know, for me growing up.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
You're right, it used to be like you could kind
of you had a core group of guys for eight, ten,
twelve years, and now you're you're.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Not going to see that.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
So you know, it's it's similar to what college football
has become and college basketball has become, and the player
empowerment era where they have tens of millions of dollars
in annual salary and can give franchises the double middle finger,
don't have to be beholden to an owner to pay
them their max deal or their you know, because they've
(14:56):
got so much money, they just don't give a rip.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Yeah, but the has got more money and they give
more of a rip. That's all over.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Well, I'll tell you that. You know, this is if
there is one particular group, because look, Jeanie was probably
one of the it's stupid to say now because she
just pocketed six point six billions. She's gonna split with
her siblings. But you know, one of the poorest you
use that in air quotes owners the richest of Steve
Balmer running away. I mean he's worth over one hundred
billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
But and the guy that owns the Warriors, right yeah, But.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I mean, just in La like Cryptos kind of dated.
The Bus family wasn't going to pump a couple billion
dollars into building a new state, a new arena for
their team.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Fans hate lebron.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
So like with with the Guggenheim Group and a Mark
Walter who's worth ten fifteen billion dollars, he just looks
at it as an asset, like, yeah, we need a
new arena. This thing is twenty five years old, and
we're gonna go ahead and build it across wherever. You know.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
I mean, you're spinning right now like a sprinkler if
you work at the Lakers or the Lakers radio station,
looking for a new asterkiss, looking for a new ass
to attach your face. I mean not that we haven't
been there, but you know, you're just looking for a
new ass to just attach your faces.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Just get excuse me, sir, Can I have a piece
of that ass? Please?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Does this help? Is this helping? Am I helping? Am
I doing it right?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I heard our new owner is worth fifteen billion dollars,
unlike that poor ass family group that was here before. Yeah,
that poverty has poverty stricken bus family.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Genie?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Can I be a caddy on your private golf course
on your private island?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
They did not bring me over, Genie. Hear me out.
We're building a wave pool in Riverside? What you're saying?
Can you spare a cool one hundred million?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Easy, let's do it.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
What are the tax implications? I'm friends with Cavin? All Right,
we'll be back. We got the Dead and the live guy.
Birthday of the day. We will wrap it up on
what has been an historic day in Los Angeles sports.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
More questions and answers. What's it gonna be?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Like?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
How's it gonna be?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
But I'm not getting nailed by the king anymore when
I get to choose who I nail.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I'm not a whore anymore. For you.
Speaker 1 (17:17):

Speaker 4 (17:43):
The Lakers sell to the people that own the Dodgers,
Mark Walter and the Guggenheim Group, but only cost him
about six point six billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
But what's that?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
No apology?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Everybody's excited only if they keep Jabron Lames.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Could you apologize?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I apologize to Laker fans.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Oh, let it go. Go ahead, buy your own eye,

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Hold hold, hold, sell my god, we're all billionaires.
Speaker 4 (18:17):

Molikini island for h Linda Rambis to live off of

Speaker 2 (18:26):
I heard they're Bill's it's gonna be one of those
fake Chinese islands like a flotilla, you know, the artificial island.
She's gonna buy your own island, and then Lada Rambit
is gonna get the artificial We're gonna build it.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
From what I understand about physics, that means you don't
have to worry about it toppling over.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
At the semity people. That's right. Yeah, so we're good.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Uh, the Dodgers are still playing the Padres and there
in the middle of a hip parade, throwing the ball
at each other and getting all angry. Dave Roberts kicked
out last night. But it's not the big story in town.
The big story in town is the last most famous
family kind of to own a sports franchise other than
the Steinbrenners, has sold out to another corporation, a hedge
(19:08):
fun group like the Dodgers own.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
And Hey, Laker fans, guess what. The Dodgers are pretty
well run.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Congratulations, welcome to the billionaires club.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Well, nobody paid us, Matt we.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
No, no, I mean, Laker fans, your own group is
now part of the billionaires club that is willing to
pay What did the Dodgers pay last year? One hundred
and thirty million dollars in luxury Texas. So that's what
you're that's what's walking through that though.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
If we try to walk into that club, we get
ejected like the Salt Bay.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
That's right. I just to casually walk us off to
the side. We'll pretend like we're signing autograph for people
that have no interest to us to be in there.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
We have sunglasses on at night though, that's good most
definitely if the dead guy Berthier the day, little Jamaican
News for your celebratory feelings, Jamaican News, Laker fans.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
It's Jamaica News.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Seem well, Matt, I know you like reggae in the summer,
and we're just about there. It's a Gladstone Anderson today.
What oh, you don't think this guy predates the fish restaurant?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Okay's ninety one if he would still be alive.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Gladstone Andersenstone, that's his name.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
It's a hell of a name, but everybody called him Gladdie.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Glady's uncle was Aubrey Adams, not Drake, but he was
a bandleader and he taught him piano, and glad he
became a prominent studio pianist in the nineteen fifties as
a young man, and then it really took off for
him when he began to work for the legendary Jamaican
(20:49):
record producer Duke Reid. He like his uncle, created his
own all star band known as Gladdy's All Stars. But
whenever they worked with a different producer and they were
kind of like the Wrecking Crew of Jamaica in the sixties,
where this was the band everybody wanted to work with
(21:13):
and all the producers hired him, but whenever the producer
hired him, they would have them play under a different name.
Under Bunny Lee they were called the Aggravators. You ever
heard of that band?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yes? Under Rupee Edwards they were Rupees.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
All Stars, Oh, I like a Rupee.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
They were the Crystallites when they worked for the Great
Derek Harriet and the Dynamites when they worked for Clancy Eccles,
and when they worked for Lee Scratch Perry they were
the Upsetters. So basically the most famous Jamaican group of
musicians ever and they became the only band on everybody's
(21:57):
stuff and hard to beat the Upsetters with Leaf Scratch Perry,
but the Clancy Echo stuff is also worth checking out.
He also played for the legendary Roots Radics band and
even had success as a singer in the late sixties.
That's Gladstone Anderson. Jay Z sampled him Matt.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Jay Z, So I don't know if James he knows
Gladstone Anderson he did.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I don't know if he's as cool as he used
to be.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Well, it seems like there's some things happening over there
where in the the jay Z Beyonce Lemonade? Did he?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
If I were you, I'd lay low, That's what I'd say.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Yeah, Hey, the party's over.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
It's not twenty eleven anymore. You guys suck?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
What if I wanted to be?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Says it matter? Glad he died in twenty fifteen and
eighty one.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Glad he was Ugwood?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Mom, Yeah he was.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
But his band Jackie Jackson on bass, Winston Grennan on drums,
Hawk's Brown on guitar, legendary Jamaican band.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Well, you're a live guy, a musician as well, beating
out one of the greatest songwriters of the last one
hundred years, Sir Paul McCartney, to take a pass on,
Sir Paul, for Yazoo.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
I'll tell you what's not a great song. It's simply
having that wonderful Christmas song. Yeah, that was a miss, Paul.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
That's okay. I mean he missed on one out of
ninety jeez f one. Goat Genevieve Allison, Jane Ballard, Alison Moye.
As we know where from Yeah. I was born in Essex,
French father English mom went to the Nicholas Comprehensive School.
(23:54):
Was classmates with both Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher. Of
course would go on to form depeche Mode with Vince Clark.
Vince also a classmate. But I guess, in a stroke
of irony, she doesn't get invited to join depeche Mode
with Marty Gore and Fletcher. Instead, she doesn't know Vince
Clark and he eventually gives her a call later down
(24:16):
the line. Here we'll get to that. Alley's playing around town.
She's into blues, she's into punk, and she's playing for
a band called Screaming for the Screaming ab Dabs for
the Vickers, for the Little Roosters for the UK version
of the Vandals, not our Vandals, Joe Escalante, David quacketmush Bandals,
but a band over there in the UK in the
late seventies. And then she is working as a piano
(24:41):
tuner and ends up that's.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Good work, a little awkward being in people's house for
a while, right, you know, with that stupid little tool
and banging the keys.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
She puts an ad in the melody Maker saying that
she would like to start a band, wants to play
a little bit of roots, a little bit of blues,
and Vince Clark of course remembered her from school and
reached out and said, you know what, I think, I'm
gonna take a little break here from depeche Mode and
start my own thing. You want to do a duo?
She says, yes, And who could have ever predicted that
in the next two and a half years, Yazoo with
(25:16):
upstairs at Eric's and you and me both would change
music forever as responsible for the synth pop explosion as
depeche Mode or New Order or OMD or any of those.
And again they did not get together because they were
old friends. It was Moyer putting that ad out and
Vince Clark had this one in the chamber. He was
just looking for the right female to sing vocals and
(25:38):
he did not want depeche Mode to do it.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
So what did did Kahan do?
Speaker 4 (25:44):
He put on some leather pants and cried, broke broke
up another hotel room in the Sunset Marquee.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
He cried he wanted a female vocal roll the dice
that the song was a hit with him leaving Depeche
Mode that Mute Records would give him a deal based
on his success with Depeche Mode, but they did. It
was a go and they loved it so much they
wanted to put it out immediately and said we need
a B side. So Alison Moyer and Vince Clark quickly,
in order to get a B side for this song
(26:10):
that they thought was a hit, wrote situation, just like, well, yeah,
we need a B side. Let's uh, let's find something
here we go, Let's just write this another number one
under pressure. They were yas here because Yazoo Records was
already operating in North America, but they are known as
Yazoo everywhere else outside the US. Other big hit off
(26:30):
upstairs and Eric, don't go.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
That's what I heard.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Taco Tuesday with Lebron is around the country. Yes, I've
mean around the world. Everybody knows it.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
It's a Lebron thing, Lebron's Taco Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Here, it's more of a you know, Taco Time in
Texas thing.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yes, it was a monkey riding the dawn right exactly.
That's our Taco Tuesday from Taco John's. It was huge
in the UK. It was kind of big here with
the cool kids the Yaes. Interesting thing was Clark always
envisioned yas it was a one off, just like a
one and done side project, and then it was going
to go back to depeche Mode or something, but they
were like, no, I'm not interested. It was so big
(27:06):
that they needed another release. Moyer also was kind of
thinking one and done. She was not comfortable in the
spotlight is a superstar and she was more the star
in the media than Clark, so they reluctantly put out
their follow up, You and Me. Both ended up having
a top five hit with Nobody's Diary, but as that
thing was peaking at number three on the charts, they
announced they were done. Splitting up Clark, of course, would
(27:27):
form a rature. Of course, Moye went solo and both
found great success. Moye's debut Alf had the big hit
single Invisible, went to number one in the UK, two
other top tens. The album was number one in the UK.
Two more releases in the eighties, each with top five hits,
nominated for a Grammy in ninety one, and then just
kind of took a hiatus for like ten years, and
(27:49):
then in two thousand and two.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Well, you know, you got your hair metal, then your
Grunge medal.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
You know right, it's like, it's not my time. It
has passed me by little Black backpack and trapped are
two big right now. She did come back in two
thousand and two, though, and started putting out a record
about every other year. She's won three brit Awards. She
again nominated for a Grammy. Married twice, she booke ended
(28:13):
a lesbian relationship that produced a daughter. Interestingly enough, son
with her first husband, daughter with her current husband, David Ballard.
So each relationship a kid got her OB In twenty
twenty one, Happy sixty fourth Alison Moyet.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
So she's an obstetrician, so that that's that how she
had a baby with a woman.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Well, the lesbian relationship is the one that produced the bastard.
They were not married. She's got two legitimate children with
different husbands and then a bastard with her partner Kim
at the time she.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Got her OB like so she oh, doctor.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Order of the British Empire.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Oh yes, not like the tampon ob. It's the best
you can be either.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
You can hide so so you can hide that in
your pocket watch pocket.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Sets yourself for from the extra that you really don't need.
Just try ob and you'll see. Well, it looks like
the cork has been pulled from the bus ownership with
the Lakers, and that means perhaps the.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
End of Lebron's kingdom.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Nothing more important here than the toppling of that regime.

Trip all summer with LA Sports. Welcome back, everybody, It's
Petterson Money on AM five seventy LA Sports. A historic day,
(03:27):
one of the biggest days ever. I remember when Matt
and I were in Phoenix, Phoenix at a Mexican restaurant
downtown with David Vasse and Mark Walter bought the Dodgers.
There were a few bids, and Mark Walters was the
one in the Guggenheim group that went through. Of course,
back then, everybody thought Magic Johnson bought the Dodgers, Which.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Where did that guy get two billion dollars?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, not the case.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
We do have Dodgers Padres coming up, Moroccango Casino, Dodgers
on deck with Tim Kats arts at six o'clock and
it is a crazy day. One of the most famous
owners in the history of modern sports is selling out.
The family is out. The Bus family is out of
the basketball ownership business. And Matt it's not like we
(04:16):
don't have a relationship with Jeanie Buss. We talked to
her once a year she comes out and does the show.
We have very warm feelings toward Jeanie with a big
weenie and we've had her on every year. We ask
her real questions. We do some pole smoking, but we've
been combing the desert spaceball style about selling the team
(04:37):
or ownership or finding hints about when or how they'd
want to be done. And just like Eddie Murphy or whatever,
we ain't found there is nothing. Yeah, wear that, there's
nothing in there, you know, because this and basically the
point I'm making is big surprise for you. Thought the
(04:59):
paw Gasol trade was a supreme this is this is
a chakra.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, it's uh, you know, you said it. It's the
Bus family. They're synonymous with sports in Los Angeles, as
synonymous as any player, as any announcer, as Chick hern
as Vince Scully, as the O'Malley family. You know, the
Buses are that they when when Doctor Buzz bought the Lakers,
he ushered in Showtime, he ushered in Magic Johnson and
(05:24):
Jerry West as a general manager and allowing a general
manager to trump an owner and not be too involved,
and created essentially a brand of basketball that still lives
on today that instead of you know, dragging it into
the mud and trying to win games seventy five, seventy two,
it's no, We're in Hollywood, and I'm going to inject
Hollywood like that's that's what the Bus Family means to
(05:47):
the history of the NBA. It's it's a huge chapter
in the history of this organization and of the National
Basketball Association. And with one transaction for you know, a
ten billion dollar valuation, so figure almost seven billion dollars
that's now gone and it's been gone for a while,
right Ultimately.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Well, yeah, I mean we can that's a conversation maybe
for another time, maybe tomorrow. What the brand has become
under our friend Genie Buss's leadership in the modern NBA.
Of course, we're all constantly being nailed by the King,
and it's highly lamented here on the show. And the
first thing everybody thinks, sadly, Matt, is not about what
(06:27):
you just described, which was eloquently done, but it's about, hey,
are we going to get out from underneath the king?
In this cheap hotel room where I'm getting.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Nailed by the king and they got nailed again.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Everybody thinks about what does it mean for the future
of the Lakers right now? Can we get rid of
Lebron and his son's And that's crazy to think about,
because that's kind of what it's become now under Genie Buzz.
But what also just strikes me, Matt, is when Mark
(07:03):
Walter bought the Dodgers. I mean, we were waiting. Everybody
knew there was a bid. It was like an audition
for a big part in a movie. Everybody wanted to
be in. It was a story, and they won the bid.
This is not the case here. This happened without anybody knowing.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
The dead of night, the Mayflower moving trucks pulling out
of Baltimore in the Midt three am.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
You mentioned it. People, no one knew about it. No
one knew about it, no one said anything. I know
Walter was in there already with his percentage ownership. So
they're basically negotiating with each other.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That's an owner side deal.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
But still Jesuless needs.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, I mean you said it, twenty five percent ownership.
He bought the Anshoots shares a while back, and now
when it was time to sell, and typically that's in
the agreement, you know, when you purchase a minority stake
the family, you know, you put an agreement in there
that says, if you are ever going to sell, I
have the first right to make an offer, or I
(08:01):
have a right to match the highest offer. So chances
are they went and said, hey, if we put a
ten billion dollar valuation on it, will you buy us out?
And Mark Walter said yes. And that's why this thing
was so quiet, because I would assume contractually, legally, they
had to do that. You mentioned that she came to
see us, you know, comes to see us every single
(08:21):
year at a summer tour stop, and we asked her
this past this past summer tour about selling and kind
of her thoughts so when and you're close with Wick,
I think as well, so when those two guys sell,
what do you think, like when you hear about what
they're getting, what they're set, why they're getting out all
(08:41):
that sort of stuff, And do you do people come
to you and say, Genie, like is there any of
that that's going on with the Lakers? Or at least
they just ask you like, why are these two guys
selling that we would have never thought with someone?
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I mean, you also have Michael Jordan who sold his
n and you know, I think that they're just people
that are always looking to challenge themselves and something else.
So certainly, you know, Wick has had his success as
the governor of the Celtics, winning championships, and you know
it's maybe he wants to do something different. And same
(09:15):
with Mark. You know, he's done a lot for.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Lowering the cost of.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Prescription drugs for people, and you know, and I expect
him to continue to do more and more now that
he doesn't have to worry about.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
The data life of public service, right exactly.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
So she just basically said, yeah, that one guy wanted
to challenge himself from the Celtics and Mark Cuban cut
some prescription.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
And there was a woo in the background.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Yeah, yeah, very I mean we found something. I mean,
it's uh, it was. It was not not something people
saw coming. I don't know how long Jeanie's is going
to stay as the governor of the team, and what
the that means as far as what the big moves
that are made, how long Rich Paul will have control,
(10:06):
and those are questions that are yet to be answered.
But if I was Lebron, I'd be packing up in home.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Beyond be packing up my stuff, right, Leebron Lames, you
would just if we base it on on history and
president I mean, look what Mark Walter did the second
he took over the Dodgers, right.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
He immediately takes on hundreds of millions of dollars in
salary to bring Adrian Gonzalez over, takes the deadweight contracts
that Boston requires him to take on. I kept what
was it, Carl Crawford or remember who else they brought in.
It was whatever they had to take on a bunch
of doubt, David Price and all that in order to
(10:43):
take on Adrian Gonzalez, and then immediately goes out and
finds the most successful general manager in Baseball and Andrew
Friedman and drops him into that post because he wanted
to send a message to Dodger fans that you know,
this is how we're going to operate. We will spare
no expense. We intend to put a championship caliber team
(11:04):
on the field immediately, and that goes from the off
the field front office all the way down to the
last player on the bench. If it cost us ten
million bucks in luxury tax to have that twenty six guy,
that's what we're going to pay if we think it
gives us a better chance to win the World Series. So,
I mean, I don't know how you couldn't be excited
about this particular group, you know, with their tens of
(11:26):
billions of dollars being the ones that bought the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I mean, you look at the guy Stan Cronky that
owns the Rams and who else does he own a
couple other He owns the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
And is it Man United or no, that's the Glaziers
who owned Man United. He owns the ANYPL team as well,
and seems like he knows how to be an owner,
right Like. Seems like his groups, whatever they do whenever
they buy a sports team. It feels like they really
know what they're doing. Nuggets, Avalanche and Arsenal people.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
That own the Chiefs. The Hunt family seems like they
kind of have it together. They have a formula, you know,
they know where they want to be. I think they
own some soccer stuff. This is that, but a thousand
times more. These guys what they did when they took
over the Dodgers. They made the Dodgers, which is already
a huge relevant brand that had been dormant because the
(12:19):
Fox group that owned it was not doing well. The
McCourt group was a travesty that literally got The only
time the town has ever boycotted the team and stopped
showing up the games was the last year of Frank
McCourt because he was that inept as an owner and
people had slept on the Dodgers. And then these people
came and the Dodgers are you could argue, the most
(12:41):
globally relevant team in the world right now because of
the moves these guys have made and what they've built.
And you think about that coupled with the Laker brand,
and you say, this guy's the limit. I mean, I'm
no business macro mogul. Mind like some people like Matt
Minderbinder over there. But at the same time, it's it's
(13:02):
not hard to see that this could be a very
fruitful marriage, just like the Guggenheims marriage with the Dodgers
is very fruitful and bears great fruit.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Yes, I'm just a piggyback off that I found a
SoundBite from Janie with you Guys in twenty nineteen the
Desert Summer Tour, and you guys asked her a question
and she started talking about how the NBA has changed,
and maybe you read into this now what six years later,
and maybe the way that the NBA has developed into
a players league and then really controlling things is kind
(13:33):
of the reasons she wanted to get out.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
We're in the era of player sharing as opposed to
you know, tee up a player staying on.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
A team for a long period of time.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
That's why when Kobe retired and I said, you know,
you're not going to see a player be on a
team for twenty years. It's not going to happen anymore
because of the changes in the Collective Bargaining Agreement, which
are means like the players signed shorter contracts, they earn
their free agency and they get an opportunity after seven
(14:04):
eight years in the league to go and you know, choose,
you know, who they want to play with, where they
want to play, the style of basketball. They earn that right,
and so you know, I think this is it's here
to stay a lot of player movement and.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
You know, but you know, for me growing up.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
You're right, it used to be like you could kind
of you had a core group of guys for eight, ten,
twelve years, and now you're you're.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Not going to see that.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
So you know, it's it's similar to what college football
has become and college basketball has become, and the player
empowerment era where they have tens of millions of dollars
in annual salary and can give franchises the double middle finger,
don't have to be beholden to an owner to pay
them their max deal or their you know, because they've
(14:56):
got so much money, they just don't give a rip.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Yeah, but the has got more money and they give
more of a rip. That's all over.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Well, I'll tell you that. You know, this is if
there is one particular group, because look, Jeanie was probably
one of the it's stupid to say now because she
just pocketed six point six billions. She's gonna split with
her siblings. But you know, one of the poorest you
use that in air quotes owners the richest of Steve
Balmer running away. I mean he's worth over one hundred
billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
But and the guy that owns the Warriors, right yeah, But.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I mean, just in La like Cryptos kind of dated.
The Bus family wasn't going to pump a couple billion
dollars into building a new state, a new arena for
their team.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Fans hate lebron.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
So like with with the Guggenheim Group and a Mark
Walter who's worth ten fifteen billion dollars, he just looks
at it as an asset, like, yeah, we need a
new arena. This thing is twenty five years old, and
we're gonna go ahead and build it across wherever. You know.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
I mean, you're spinning right now like a sprinkler if
you work at the Lakers or the Lakers radio station,
looking for a new asterkiss, looking for a new ass
to attach your face. I mean not that we haven't
been there, but you know, you're just looking for a
new ass to just attach your faces.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Just get excuse me, sir, Can I have a piece
of that ass? Please?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Does this help? Is this helping? Am I helping? Am
I doing it right?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I heard our new owner is worth fifteen billion dollars,
unlike that poor ass family group that was here before. Yeah,
that poverty has poverty stricken bus family.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Genie?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Can I be a caddy on your private golf course
on your private island?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
They did not bring me over, Genie. Hear me out.
We're building a wave pool in Riverside? What you're saying?
Can you spare a cool one hundred million?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Easy, let's do it.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
What are the tax implications? I'm friends with Cavin? All Right,
we'll be back. We got the Dead and the live guy.
Birthday of the day. We will wrap it up on
what has been an historic day in Los Angeles sports.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
More questions and answers. What's it gonna be?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Like?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
How's it gonna be?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
But I'm not getting nailed by the king anymore when
I get to choose who I nail.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I'm not a whore anymore. For you.
Speaker 1 (17:17):

about six point six billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
But what's that?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
No apology?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Everybody's excited only if they keep Jabron Lames.

Could you apologize?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I apologize to Laker fans.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Oh, let it go. Go ahead, buy your own eye,

fake Chinese islands like a flotilla, you know, the artificial island.
She's gonna buy your own island, and then Lada Rambit

Speaker 4 (18:36):
From what I understand about physics, that means you don't
have to worry about it toppling over.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
At the semity people. That's right. Yeah, so we're good.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Uh, the Dodgers are still playing the Padres and there
in the middle of a hip parade, throwing the ball
at each other and getting all angry. Dave Roberts kicked
out last night. But it's not the big story in town.
The big story in town is the last most famous
family kind of to own a sports franchise other than
the Steinbrenners, has sold out to another corporation, a hedge
(19:08):
fun group like the Dodgers own.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
And Hey, Laker fans, guess what. The Dodgers are pretty
well run.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Congratulations, welcome to the billionaires club.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Well, nobody paid us, Matt we.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
No, no, I mean, Laker fans, your own group is
now part of the billionaires club that is willing to
pay What did the Dodgers pay last year? One hundred
and thirty million dollars in luxury Texas. So that's what
you're that's what's walking through that though.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
If we try to walk into that club, we get
ejected like the Salt Bay.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
That's right. I just to casually walk us off to
the side. We'll pretend like we're signing autograph for people
that have no interest to us to be in there.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
We have sunglasses on at night though, that's good most
definitely if the dead guy Berthier the day, little Jamaican
News for your celebratory feelings, Jamaican News, Laker fans.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
It's Jamaica News.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Seem well, Matt, I know you like reggae in the summer,
and we're just about there. It's a Gladstone Anderson today.
What oh, you don't think this guy predates the fish restaurant?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Okay's ninety one if he would still be alive.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Gladstone Andersenstone, that's his name.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
It's a hell of a name, but everybody called him Gladdie.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Glady's uncle was Aubrey Adams, not Drake, but he was
a bandleader and he taught him piano, and glad he
became a prominent studio pianist in the nineteen fifties as
a young man, and then it really took off for
him when he began to work for the legendary Jamaican
(20:49):
record producer Duke Reid. He like his uncle, created his
own all star band known as Gladdy's All Stars. But
whenever they worked with a different producer and they were
kind of like the Wrecking Crew of Jamaica in the sixties,
where this was the band everybody wanted to work with
(21:13):
and all the producers hired him, but whenever the producer
hired him, they would have them play under a different name.
Under Bunny Lee they were called the Aggravators. You ever
heard of that band?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yes? Under Rupee Edwards they were Rupees.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
All Stars, Oh, I like a Rupee.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
They were the Crystallites when they worked for the Great
Derek Harriet and the Dynamites when they worked for Clancy Eccles,
and when they worked for Lee Scratch Perry they were
the Upsetters. So basically the most famous Jamaican group of
musicians ever and they became the only band on everybody's
(21:57):
stuff and hard to beat the Upsetters with Leaf Scratch Perry,
but the Clancy Echo stuff is also worth checking out.
He also played for the legendary Roots Radics band and
even had success as a singer in the late sixties.
That's Gladstone Anderson. Jay Z sampled him Matt.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Jay Z, So I don't know if James he knows
Gladstone Anderson he did.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I don't know if he's as cool as he used
to be.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Well, it seems like there's some things happening over there
where in the the jay Z Beyonce Lemonade? Did he?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
If I were you, I'd lay low, That's what I'd say.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Yeah, Hey, the party's over.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
It's not twenty eleven anymore. You guys suck?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
What if I wanted to be?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Says it matter? Glad he died in twenty fifteen and
eighty one.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Glad he was Ugwood?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Mom, Yeah he was.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
But his band Jackie Jackson on bass, Winston Grennan on drums,
Hawk's Brown on guitar, legendary Jamaican band.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Well, you're a live guy, a musician as well, beating
out one of the greatest songwriters of the last one
hundred years, Sir Paul McCartney, to take a pass on,
Sir Paul, for Yazoo.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
I'll tell you what's not a great song. It's simply
having that wonderful Christmas song. Yeah, that was a miss, Paul.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
That's okay. I mean he missed on one out of
ninety jeez f one. Goat Genevieve Allison, Jane Ballard, Alison Moye.
As we know where from Yeah. I was born in Essex,
French father English mom went to the Nicholas Comprehensive School.
(23:54):
Was classmates with both Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher. Of
course would go on to form depeche Mode with Vince Clark.
Vince also a classmate. But I guess, in a stroke
of irony, she doesn't get invited to join depeche Mode
with Marty Gore and Fletcher. Instead, she doesn't know Vince
Clark and he eventually gives her a call later down
(24:16):
the line. Here we'll get to that. Alley's playing around town.
She's into blues, she's into punk, and she's playing for
a band called Screaming for the Screaming ab Dabs for
the Vickers, for the Little Roosters for the UK version
of the Vandals, not our Vandals, Joe Escalante, David quacketmush Bandals,
but a band over there in the UK in the
late seventies. And then she is working as a piano
(24:41):
tuner and ends up that's.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Good work, a little awkward being in people's house for
a while, right, you know, with that stupid little tool
and banging the keys.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
She puts an ad in the melody Maker saying that
she would like to start a band, wants to play
a little bit of roots, a little bit of blues,
and Vince Clark of course remembered her from school and
reached out and said, you know what, I think, I'm
gonna take a little break here from depeche Mode and
start my own thing. You want to do a duo?
She says, yes, And who could have ever predicted that
in the next two and a half years, Yazoo with
(25:16):
upstairs at Eric's and you and me both would change
music forever as responsible for the synth pop explosion as
depeche Mode or New Order or OMD or any of those.
And again they did not get together because they were
old friends. It was Moyer putting that ad out and
Vince Clark had this one in the chamber. He was
just looking for the right female to sing vocals and
(25:38):
he did not want depeche Mode to do it.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
So what did did Kahan do?
Speaker 4 (25:44):
He put on some leather pants and cried, broke broke
up another hotel room in the Sunset Marquee.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
He cried he wanted a female vocal roll the dice
that the song was a hit with him leaving Depeche
Mode that Mute Records would give him a deal based
on his success with Depeche Mode, but they did. It
was a go and they loved it so much they
wanted to put it out immediately and said we need
a B side. So Alison Moyer and Vince Clark quickly,
in order to get a B side for this song
(26:10):
that they thought was a hit, wrote situation, just like, well, yeah,
we need a B side. Let's uh, let's find something
here we go, Let's just write this another number one
under pressure. They were yas here because Yazoo Records was
already operating in North America, but they are known as
Yazoo everywhere else outside the US. Other big hit off
(26:30):
upstairs and Eric, don't go.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
That's what I heard.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Taco Tuesday with Lebron is around the country. Yes, I've
mean around the world. Everybody knows it.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
It's a Lebron thing, Lebron's Taco Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Here, it's more of a you know, Taco Time in
Texas thing.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yes, it was a monkey riding the dawn right exactly.
That's our Taco Tuesday from Taco John's. It was huge
in the UK. It was kind of big here with
the cool kids the Yaes. Interesting thing was Clark always
envisioned yas it was a one off, just like a
one and done side project, and then it was going
to go back to depeche Mode or something, but they
were like, no, I'm not interested. It was so big
(27:06):
that they needed another release. Moyer also was kind of
thinking one and done. She was not comfortable in the
spotlight is a superstar and she was more the star
in the media than Clark, so they reluctantly put out
their follow up, You and Me. Both ended up having
a top five hit with Nobody's Diary, but as that
thing was peaking at number three on the charts, they
announced they were done. Splitting up Clark, of course, would
(27:27):
form a rature. Of course, Moye went solo and both
found great success. Moye's debut Alf had the big hit
single Invisible, went to number one in the UK, two
other top tens. The album was number one in the UK.
Two more releases in the eighties, each with top five hits,
nominated for a Grammy in ninety one, and then just
kind of took a hiatus for like ten years, and
(27:49):
then in two thousand and two.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Well, you know, you got your hair metal, then your
Grunge medal.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
You know right, it's like, it's not my time. It
has passed me by little Black backpack and trapped are
two big right now. She did come back in two
thousand and two, though, and started putting out a record
about every other year. She's won three brit Awards. She
again nominated for a Grammy. Married twice, she booke ended
(28:13):
a lesbian relationship that produced a daughter. Interestingly enough, son
with her first husband, daughter with her current husband, David Ballard.
So each relationship a kid got her OB In twenty
twenty one, Happy sixty fourth Alison Moyet.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
So she's an obstetrician, so that that's that how she
had a baby with a woman.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Well, the lesbian relationship is the one that produced the bastard.
They were not married. She's got two legitimate children with
different husbands and then a bastard with her partner Kim
at the time she.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Got her OB like so she oh, doctor.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Order of the British Empire.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Oh yes, not like the tampon ob. It's the best
you can be either.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
You can hide so so you can hide that in
your pocket watch pocket.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Sets yourself for from the extra that you really don't need.
Just try ob and you'll see. Well, it looks like
the cork has been pulled from the bus ownership with
the Lakers, and that means perhaps the.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
End of Lebron's kingdom.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Nothing more important here than the toppling of that regime.
We'll deal with the Dodgers versus Padre's Neck Morongo Casino.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Dodgers on deck with Tim Kakes hanging there.
