Speaker 1 (00:11):
Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Got that right, Mat, There we go.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Don McClain is in for Petros Sela Sports Live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio Apple. We just won't be defeated Wednesday.
I will say I am nearly defeated, Don. It's a
big day. It's a big day on the Petros and
Money Show, and I'm running a bit of a scramble
drill here and Ronnie knows, And it's good to have
you back, Ronnie, welcome back. Hope you enjoyed your time off.
(00:45):
Ronnie knows what a scramble drill hot Dog Day can
be because Ronnie had to scramble on our last Hot
Dog Day like a mother scratch.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
That's right, Matt. Remember I had to run across the
street and get those woke dogs for you and Petros.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Exactly, the woke dogs from UH.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I thought that I thought the hot dog Maker would
be bigger.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
The hot dog Maker surprisingly packs a pretty good punch.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I'm not saying it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I just I mean it looks small, yeah, but the
way that it works, and I got to do a
little bit of a I don't wanna I don't want
to melt these computers from two thousand and six that
were put in here because we're gonna have like a
ten camera shoot for each of our show. My man,
what we're gonna do, there's gonna be it's gonna be
ground zero. In the other studio. We're gonna have nine
cameras in here and all these computers, and somehow all
(01:33):
of that equipment just disappears that.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I think those cameras are still in the storage, clots
it down the hall.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
It's like a fifty thousand dollars operations that's gonna be great,
and I think they've essentially fifty thousand dollars paperweight. So here,
I got to move the hot dog maker so I
can get some power to it. It's National hot Dog Day.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Have you already put the water in it?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
There's some water in it, but I gotta put more
because I was in a in a rush running the
scramble drill to get this thing over here. So I'm
plug plugging in, plug it in. And this is a
big deal now, like it's hot dog Day has become
quite the thing in these parts. Word travels around the
(02:11):
office for whatever reason, I don't know, why it works
this way. But when it's hot dog day, you just
end up running into people in the office that you
normally don't see. Since COVID, like many offices around the country, iHeartRadio,
has also become a bit of a ghost town.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, parking is a lot better when I come here.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Remember when we actually realized that there was a second
and third floor and a fourth floor to our parking garage?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I remember, isn't there five or six? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I remember parking on the sixth floor? Sometimes we never
go past one. Now, No, that's the way it works. Now,
I got to turn it on. Don Can you get
your eyes on there? Tell me what we're what we're
looking at. We got to get this thing rolling.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Here?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Is it on? It's say? That is that high?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Now?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
That's on high? Is that what we got going? All right?
It's on high? Now there we go? All right, so
we're good. There the hot dog makes it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
It's either warm or high.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Right, So, Hi, it's what we're gonna use to cook
it now. I don't know where Adam is. I think
he's running a bit of a scramble drill as well.
Adam Ouslin in for Tim Kates today so we just
won't be defeated. Wednesday, it's a walk your bike Wednesday,
So what am I gonna do with this guy? Wednesday?
It's a don't text and walk Wednesday. But it is
also most importantly here on your home of the World
(03:30):
Series Champion Dodgers Dodgers off until Friday Galpin Motors Broadcast Booth.
The Brewers will be in for a series the Dodgers
back in action on Friday, so we got a full
four hour show today. But today is National Hot Dog Day.
Now we knew it was coming. We might not have
been tipped off to it were it not for our
(03:51):
friends at the Doghouse serving dogs for our Ben Casparius
inside the Locker Room broadcast on Monday, and as they
were able to serve dogs to awe and that's where
there could be a little bit of a wrench thrown
into Hot Dog Day here on the Petros and Money
Show with Don McClean sitting in for pe Is. We
(04:12):
just had dogs, and we just had Doghouse dogs and
they are incredible. So for me, uh not that there's
anything wrong with Hoffey hot dogs. We love hoppy, hoppy
hot dogs, local original, great and the official dog of
Dodger Baseball. So, oh yeah, do they make the Dodger dogs.
They make the Dodger dogs. Oh they do, is now
the Dodger dog of record. And so we love Hoffey.
(04:33):
They take care of us, We take care of them.
We're gonna serve our Because I was gonna ask that, Matt.
Seems like the synergy would make sense to have Dodger dogs, right,
and so that's that's what we're having now. I don't
have a wheel. If I if I could buy an
onion wheel and mount it on the edge of that table,
I would. I think that'd be but I'd probably be
worried that it's gonna get a little moldy. Yeah, it's well,
(04:57):
you said once a year, Don but well it's only
National Hot Dog Day into your that's fair. But on
the Petros and Money Show, I think every now and then, Oh, good, Adam,
you're back. Adam, can you crack the mic there? I
need to need a little bit of help here, fully
functioned employee Adam in for Tim Kates producing the show.
(05:22):
Adam need a little bit of assistance here. As we're running,
we're scrambling, we're efforting, we're scrambling. Because of the rare
occasion of the show prior to us being in here
in studio, we're able to set up the hot Dog pander.
Adam's a little off today, and I know why Adam's
off every day. There's a clipper signing today that I'm
(05:43):
a little frazzled that we're going to talk about. He
wants in on that conversation. Why don't you set this
one out? Don and I are going to talk Bradley
Beale and that's fine. You're more than welcome to that.
But Adam, if you could, we need you're the producer
of the show. It's hot Dog Day on the Petros
and Money Show. The Dogs. Everything is in the fridge,
the bullpen fridge. If you could grab it, bring it
in because I've got to load the dog maker immediately. Buns, dogs, mustard, onions, relish,
(06:09):
all of that needs to get in here so we
can get no ketchup steam, no ketchup, good call, don
no ketchup.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
There is steam coming out of there.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
There's steam coming out of there already. That's why I
said we got to get these dogs in there.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Matt.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Let me ask you questions. Yes, now, you did a
lot of pre planning this time around, didn't you right?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Did right? Three packages of hot dogs, two packages of buns.
I figure, Ronnie, if we go through twenty dos, if
we go through let's see two packages of bun, there's
ten per package, right, ten or eight buns? Is it
eight buns or ten? Which ones?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I think it's eight. I think it's eight.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
So that would be packed sixteen dogs with buns if
we go through. Uh, if we go through that much,
If we go through sixteen dogs, I feel like you
can have a dog without a bun.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Matt. I think you should have bought another pack a bit,
because you know, once the bitch gets wind of the
hot dogs wafting that hot dog smell wafting down the
hall from KFI from here to KFI, he's gonna be
in here wanting three four hot dogs, just like last time.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You're just gonna put me down for one, Matt. So well,
you're not a huge hot dog guy. I hate to
be the the party pooper.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
That was our big discussion yesterday. We're like, how is
don gonna feel about steamed dogs? Is he gonna be
okay with it? Is he not gonna be into it?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I mean, I'm gonna eat one just to be part
of the team, but.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Be part of hot dog Day.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, that too.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
The dogs are in the first package of dogs are in.
And now this is the key to our hot dog
maker is the buns getting steamed. That's what really for
how long as long as you want? Really, yeah, we'll
just leave him in there. Once these things get rolling,
the buns will be steamed. The uh they get nice
and soft and gooey like you get at the at
(07:56):
the hot dog stand. And now we got onions, we
got mustard, we got relish.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
We probably need to open the condiments too.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yeah, and I think we can probably put those other
dogs back in the fridge along with uh yeah, we'll
put those other dogs back in the fridge at the break.
But at least we got this some operation it is,
and it was. It was really one of our great investments. Now,
a handful of things have been purchased by the Petrosen
Money Show. The mini fridge outside, we purchased this and
(08:28):
the majority of these things. Understand that the show is
of a certain age. This is our nineteenth year on
the air. The show is a oh boy, see what
I mean. It's like he knows Stefush has already got
They're not warm yet. They we just started.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
He's got the biggest smile on his face I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Just started, Stefush, we just started. They're cold, They're literally cold.
So you're gonna have to give us at least thirty
minutes to get these things rolling. But what he's already here.
We're ten minutes fifty three.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
He's gonna start the line outside the door, like getting
into the arena before the game.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Ronnie, you might be right, You might be right. Sixteen
might not be enough. His Steffusch has already showed up.
He's like, hey, Petro's Money show on the air. It's
hot dog day. I'm in.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I told you, man, I may have to run across
the street again for some more woke dogs.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, you're right, Well, the dogs we got covered. We
got thirty dogs, so we got sixteen buns. We got
thirty dogs. But at the point, why.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Didn't you buy another pack of buns?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I think I forgot man, that's a good question. Why
didn't I buy another pack of buns? I think I
had already done the loop. I think I had already
done the loop over the condiments, and I was like,
you know what, sixteen buns is enough, man, sixteen full dogs.
We're gonna find out, Yes we are. And considering steffushe
poked his head in here at three to eleven PM.
And for those that don't know, he's the board op
(09:50):
for the Conway Show. But to the point I was
making like the show's been on the air long enough
that the hot dog maker does that stay here in
the office, stays in the office. The mini fridge we
purchased them at the sadly now gone and knocked down.
The kids don't realize what they missed out on UFO
(10:10):
crashed into the front fries A Burbank, the Fries Electronic
the airport. Yes, right by the Burbank Airport. We would
get off the air at seven and you know, we
would get on these tangents during the show of you know,
it'd be kind of cool. What if we got fill
in the blank and we would go to Fries and
Fries was essentially like Amazon inside of a building. It
(10:32):
was Fries Electronics and they had appliances and we would
roll in and this was one of the purchases. This
is the second. Now I will say full disclosure, This
one I believe came off Amazon because the first one,
as you would expect from a couple of idiots, it broke. Well, no,
(10:53):
we did. We had hot Dog Day and then we
forgot to clean it and so you know, you leave
a couple things in there and leave it in the
office and you don't think about it for a month
or so and then you're like, oh, that's that's going
straight to the trash. So this is the second petros
in money show, Hotdog Maker. You concerned it all that
(11:13):
we have a little water leakage. Is that normal? Do
we in the front? Or is that just from when
you put the water in. That's a fair point. Let's
see what we got going here. That's what do you think.
I think it might be from just when you put
it in, when I put it in. But it's probably
not good having water next to all these wires either. Well,
let me tell you something about these wires. Don I
don't know if you heard, but these wires were part
(11:36):
of a fifty thousand dollars multi camera. My man, we're
going multimedia with the show. We're going to be on
the YouTube, We're going to be on AM five seventy,
LA sports dot com, every day, and that equipment never
moved from the studio. We aren't in into this studio yet.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
The wires are still there.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Wire's still here. Computers, the I I.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Haven't seen one of those think pads in a while.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Going to say, let me see, like is this is
this even a Lenovo like this could be just to
kind of get my tech geek on me.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
That looks like what TVs look like.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Now, yeah, yeah, this is Those things are about ten
years old, so if they get I don't even know
what they do anymore. So, yeah, smell the waft. There's
some dog oder in here. Yeah, yeah, the hot dogs
are cooking. I bet Staffush smelt it from out at
his desk, even behind the steel studio door. So it
is National hot dog Day. It's hot dog Day on
(12:31):
the Petros and Money Show, which means we're gonna have
some friends swinging by. In the first commercial break, I'll
get settled in here, set the hot dog maker up
where it's supposed to go, make sure we have enough water,
make sure we got plates, spoon for the onions, mustard relish,
all ready to go. And I did spring for the
Frenches today. Full this What do you normally get. Well,
(12:53):
you know, I'm a cheap skate. Okay, So the last
time we had hot dog Day, I got the sig
a't your brand yellow mustard.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
It just said mustard on the front.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, it was a dollar ninety nine instead of the
Frenches that was three forty nine. And I wanted to
save the yes bug fifty. Yes really, I saved the
dollar fifty by getting the generic mustard. And I didn't
hear the end of it. So I bet full Frenches today.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I didn't even know there was other mustard other than Frenches.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, so full Frenches and I sprung for the dice onions,
so you know, went high and I went for the
vlastic relish, not the generic relish. So if you're into mustle,
what are you done? Do you get to reimburses? Oh?
God no, Oh that would get kicked back in a
half sight. It would get kicked back with double middle fingers.
(13:44):
What the hell kuint operation do you think for? I'm
just hoping they pay me for my mileage all the
way out to the Kook. You know, they're like, wait
a minute, you're driving a mos to c X ninety
from Galpin, What the hell are we paying you for? Well, yeah,
just little gas reimbursement. I thought it was a plug
in hybrid it is. I thought you said you were
getting forty of the gown. I am, so you want
us to give you a hundred bucks mileage, That's what
I'm saying. Man, they'll take it up with the irs.
(14:06):
You probably need the rite off anyway, So no, I
am not being reimbursed for the I think it ended
up coming out to right around twenty about twenty bucks.
What's it bad? A couple packages of dogs, a couple
packages of buns, mustard relish onions like.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Maul price to pay for National Hot Dog Days.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
And for you know what office place camaraderie. That's right,
that's what this is for the very few that still
come into the office. Look at Adam producing his ass
off paper toal plates. He brought in the dogs and
the condiments. All right, we're good today on the show.
I know we just won't be divided Wednesday. Adam doing
a bang up job filling in for Tim Kates. How
(14:46):
about this three guest show? We'll do two guests. Rarely
do we get a three guest show, but today, because
Adam put out a lot of feelers, guess we got
Brook Lopez got back to him one of the newest
Clippers former Laker Stanford Cardinal.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I can't do this to Tim.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I didn't do as it was all Timmy, Tim.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I'm assist I'm assistant producer. Okay, I thought maybe you
did some of it. I figured maybe you'd reach out
to your Clippers people. That got us Brook. That wasn't you.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
It was not Tim found a different route.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Is that right? Well done? Brook Lopez will join us
in the four o'clock hour about four thirty pm. Dave Ducek,
our dear friend. Anytime a major rolls around or Tiger
Woods flips, a car gets hit in the face with
the golf club is discovered engaging in relations with a
Perkins manager, the deucer comes on. So British Open starts
(15:42):
tomorrow tonight. Oh, that's right tonight. It starts tonight. So
the deucer will come on in the five o'clock hour.
Preview that for us, And how about this as your
home of the Dodgers. The World Series champion Dodgers Ziero
(16:03):
of the All Star Game, Tino Ebel, friend of the show,
third base coach for the Dodgers, was responsible as the
BP pitcher for the home run swing off to break
the tie in Atlanta and Dino and of course a
great week for the Evil family. His son Brady was
(16:24):
drafted in the first round, making it three for the
Corona High Panthers. Seth Hernandez went six to the Pirates,
Billy Carlson went ten to the White Sox, and then
his son Brady goes thirty two to the Brewers team
that'll start the second half of the season, by the way,
with the Dodgers. So Dino Ebel going to join us,
And anytime we're at Dodger Stadium and we want to
(16:46):
catch up with Dino. He's always great with us with
his time. Listeners love him because he just he talks
the game so well. So we'll have him here at
the bottom of the hour and the very next segment
as a matter of fact, And I'll be honest, normally
we would take this to like, you know, Petros and
I tend to drag this thing out till like twenty
three or so. But I think in this case, what
we got with the hot Dog maker to the yeah,
(17:08):
I want to make sure we get this all squared away,
get everything settled. Hot Dog Happy, National Hot Dog Day. Everybody,
get on over to the doghouse, download that House Rewards app,
get your free dog, or if you're here in the
iHeartRadio studios in our program is being pumped throughout the
hallways and you're on the fourth floor, fifth floor, not welcome,
(17:29):
Not really? Why not too many people? Oh yeah, we
got Mark and Kim up there at coast, you know,
you got Oh it's Valentine and exactly it's just too
much up there. You know, maybe maybe Booker and Striker
if they want to pop down and grab a dog
over there on all ninety eight to seven. They're fans
of the show, even though we were on at the
exact same time. That might be the only one. I think.
(17:50):
We did a cruise show. We like the Cruise Show.
Those guys are great, but you know, we got to
get the dog squared away. Dino Ebel will join us
when we were turned Don McClain in for p on
National Hot Dog Day and it's Hot Dog Day on
the Petros and Money Show. Okay, Petro some Money, Hey
(18:19):
and five seventy Ela Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
You're Home of the Dodgers. It is the All Star
break and the Dodgers back in action on Friday. They'll
play host to the Brewers. Petros out Don McLain, the
PAC twelve's all time leading score in for p today
and we are your Clippers station. You also hear Don
and see Don as a matter of fact on the
(18:41):
Clippers television broadcast, our man Adam filling in today for
tim Cats pre half in post for the Clippers. So
as the All Star break is upon us, opportunity for
us to catch up with one of our all time favorites.
Born here in the San Fernando Valley, raised in the
five to five to nine school at Stanford. Of course,
stint with the Lakers, won a champion being ship with
the Bucks, and now back in southern California, signed as
(19:03):
a free agent to play with the Clippers. It is
the great Brook Lopez joining the show. Brook, thanks so
much for taking some time. How are you.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
I'm just doing great, thrilled to be back home, happy
to be here talking with you guys.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
How much of that Brooke was in signing with the
Clippers about coming back home? Was it the opportunity in
the fact that the Clippers are building and you know
in the players you get to play with or was
it you know, all of it?
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Oh, it was absolutely all of it. It's just a
perfect situation. You know, first and foremost, obviously for me,
it's went about winning. So looking at the Clippers team,
what they did last season, who's on the roster, and
our team has been coming easy. It was a pretty
easy choice in that regard. But of course being back home,
(19:51):
being able to play in front of fans that are
friends and family as well as you know, obviously some
new friends on meet along the way. It's just it's
it is impossible turned down kind of.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Give us an idea when it look not a lot
of people have an opportunity to have the longevity you've had, Like,
how how has your game changed? How have you changed?
How have you managed to stay this effective this long?
I mean you were in the conversation as Defensive Player
of the Year a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Yeah, you know, for me, it's just about putting work in.
And you know, I've always been blessed and fortunate to
be around people who feel the same way, whether it's teammates,
touching staff, or people in the training moom in the
labor you know, and guys like that throughout my career
have I've just been surrounded by the best of the
best to have helped me take care of my body,
(20:42):
helped me learn about what I have to do off
season during the season to recover to be ready to
play once that all goes up.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
How much have you had discussions brooke with the coaching
staff or the front office about how you're going to
be used, because I think it's interesting. You know, Zubots
is one of the best young centers in the game,
but much different than you. Doesn't shoot threes, doesn't stretch
the floor, but you evolved into that through throughout your
career and become a very good three point shooter at
that position. How do you foresee your role on the
(21:12):
team playing with with Zobots because you guys are so
different offensively.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Yeah, I think we complimentary compliment each other so so well,
you know, and I just think the world of Zubie.
You know, I think he's just beginning to scratch the
surface of his potential. He's so talented that there's not
much he can't do, and so, you know, I'm looking
forward to learning from him, helping him out, you know.
(21:39):
And obviously you know, letting him dominate in the paint.
And I'm happy to be wherever on the perimeter and
the paint, wherever the Clippers need me.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
You you know him, you guys were together on the
Lakers when when he was a rookie. Kind of how
I don't want to say surprise, that's the wrong word,
but kind of just the path that he's taken and
out becoming one of the best big men in the
game versus what he was sort of that raw prospect
that he was when when you first met him, when
he was drafted by the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Yeah, there's no surprise there at all. You know, you
could always see it. He's always had the talent, he's
always had the right work ethic of mentality, I can say.
You know, it was shocking, you know how pretty simply
the Clippers landed him. You know, you know, I think
everyone in the league could see the player he was,
(22:27):
the player he's kipped of being, you know, and so
it's just such a boon for the Clippers to get him,
you know. Uh, and uh, he's obviously made good you know,
on their on their hopes, and you know, and I'm
glad to be here as well.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I'm sure you've talked about it a million times, Brooke,
but I guess for our listeners here in Southern California,
you're coming back to Southern California. Take us back to
when you decided that you wanted to become more of
a three point shooter. I was looking through your career
stats today, and there's there's that one season where you
hadn't shooting any and then that one season you started
shooting a lot of them. Take us back through that
(23:04):
process in your thought process of getting that incorporated into
your game, the three point shooting.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Yeah, you know I was. I was still with the
Brooklyn Nets and we had just hired Kenny Atkinson. And
in our first conversation, you know, he came from Atlanta.
He was an assistant with Mike Budenholzer or someone I
ended up playing with in Milwaukee court. But well, when
he got hired in Brooklyn, he told me he wanted
to play a lot of that five out offense, you know,
(23:33):
if I around the perimeter that coach budd had been
doing in Atlanta. And so he asked me if I'd
be willing, you know, or capable of want to shoot threes.
I was like yeah, let's do it, you know. And
so I just put the work in that offseason to
add that to my game. You know. That's that's you know,
how I see myself as a player. Whatever a coach
(23:54):
or whoever needs me whatever they want me to do,
need me a dude to help the team succeed, I'm
going to be figuring out a way to do that
and get out of that. Was it? Uh?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Because like Don said, I mean, you went from from
almost none to over five per game? Was it just
had Did you always have it? Did you feel like
you always had it? And coaches just you know, that
wasn't really the thinking on the teams that you were
playing for, or like you said, was it no, I've
now got to learn how to shoot threes?
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Like?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
What was that sort of relationship?
Speaker 4 (24:23):
I think I'd always had it. It was something that, Uh,
I'd been lucky to have coaches growing up who let
me work on guard stuff, wing stuff, forward stuff as
well as comfortable doing it. I shot a lot of
picking Devin Harris VI's harter, you know, and it was
(24:47):
just a matter of getting the confidence to step a
few feet behind the three point fly, you know. I
remember shooting my first one and uh my first one
preseason game in Boston and can get in from the
top of the key and you know, looking at Kenny
and you know he just smiled and just told me
to keep going, keep letting it fly, you know, because
(25:09):
because there was something we needed to wit the Huli
was getting that confidence from epitching staff, from my teammates
of do that.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I think one of the narratives brooke from the Clipper
season last year, even though they fell a little bit
short and losing to Denver in the first round, was
Jeff Van Gundy joining the staff and just what a
difference he made, you could tell on the defensive side
of the ball. Matt mentioned it earlier that you were
in the running for Defensive Player of the Year. How
much of that is still a big part of your
game is on the defense, in rim protection and those
(25:42):
things that have made you so valuable on that side
of the ball for so long.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
It's a huge part. You know. I loved being a
defensive anchor in my time Milwaukee, and you know, like
I feel like I'm a winning player. I love winning
and defense is a huge part about winning, you know,
it's the biggest part about winning. So It's a huge
part of my game still, and hopefully it's it's something.
We have some great defenders on the team already a
(26:09):
great defensive team, like you said, Coach Gunny's incredible defense
of Guru. Hopefully I can add something to that with
my audition here.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
How how what was the process, like Brooke, just kind
of deciding where you wanted to go. We knew that
you were in high demand. Obviously the Lakers were being
mentioned as one of the teams you could end up with.
How long did it take you to figure it out?
And how hard or easy of a decision was it?
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Oh, I want to obviously a requirement for me, and
the Clippers showed great interest right away, and so that
pretty much was it, you know, like I said, a
perfect situation, dream situation.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Brook Lopez with us the newest Clipper. Last thing for me, Brooke,
the into it Dome. We we've been fortunate right here
in our backyard, like we said, where the Clipper station.
Everybody that goes the first time walks out and is
incredibly impressed. Just kind of your thoughts on the arena?
Are all arenas the same to you? Do you take
time to kind of look around and see what's different
(27:14):
about all of them, and just kind of your thoughts
on on where you're going to be playing your home games.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Yeah. No, I absolutely appreciated it. Coming in and playing
my first game there last season as a visitor. You know, obviously,
I was just blown away by how grand it is,
you know, and I thought the fans were absolutely magnificent.
You know, everyone was just on top of you. It
was such a fun environment to play in, you know,
(27:42):
and just seeing you know, as a visitor again, you know,
we were in our locker room and we had amenities
like cold tubs and hot tubs, things that you don't
see in visitors' locker room, you know, and so we
could only imagine what the home tea locker room is like.
And so being out here this past week, getting to
go into the couple's facility a little bit, starting to
(28:05):
get it home there, I've just I've been blown away
by everything, you know, seeing seeing the passion and trust
and faith that Steve Bomber has in this team and
how much obviously he's backed at you know, clearly with
his wallet as well as his heart. You know, it's
it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Last thing for me, Brooke and we say this year
after year that Laurence Frank and his staff doing an
incredible job in the off season of identifying what they
need and then putting that together. Unfortunately, injuries have been
a big part of the story for the Clippers. Clippers
over the last few seasons. But I want to get
your thoughts quickly on the additions of John Collins and
then today Bradley Beale coming to the Clippers as well.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah. You know, Coach Frank as part of the group
that drafted me way back when with the New Jersey Nets.
So I've had a long, great relationship with him and
he's one of the greatest basketball mindes I've been around
in the talent he's assembled here the new guys like
you mentioned Brad and John, and then the group that's
(29:08):
already here. You know, help's the only thing for us,
you know, if we're fortunate, you know, and everything rolls
the right way, you know, we have a great shot
away in the championship.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Well always great. Oh last thing, I know, I said
last thing. This is the third time we've said last thing, Brook,
But where did you live when you are you know,
not the address, but where did you live when you
were with the Lakers. Are you going to move back
to the same neighborhood. Did you keep the house, did
you buy a house? Have you been renting it out?
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Like?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
What about the living situation as it changed kind of
from the last time you were here. I know it
was just a short stay the last time.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Yeah, yeah, I was up actually by the by the
Getty Museum off you know, by Skurball Getty Center Drive
in that area, you know, And obviously I'm a big
Disney guy. Wouldn't mind living in Disneyland, you know. I
don't know that's really logical, you know, uh, with the
Clipper stuff being all at Englewood and everything. But uh,
(30:06):
I've definitely been looking around areas. And again, you know,
the Into It Dome is so incredible, so state of art,
so amazing, has everything we need for games and practice.
It's hard to imagine not being close to thereas it's
just so perfect.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I hear there's a studio apartment in Club thirty three.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
I was gonna say, is there bench in Club thirty three?
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Well, I mean, you guys, hope we can probably get
that done there. And also, you know, hush, hush, right.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Right, hush exactly nobody's listening any way. All right, we
appreciate it everyone. Brook Lopez lives here, Hey best and
they serve booze. This is incredible, Uh, Brooke, we appreciate it.
Congratulations on signing. We look forward to watching you play man.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Start to you guys later, he goes.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Brook Lopez, as we are your home of the Clippers
summer league. Action continues Adam Oslin all hot and bothered
by the signing the brad Beal. It was very nice
of you to allow him a little bit of a
conversation Don with you about the future prospects of the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah, and I think, look, they traded for John Collins,
but Bradley Beal chose to sign with the Clippers. And
I know it's Kawhi and all the other pieces that
are on the Clipper team, but you just wonder, Brook Lopez,
John Collins, is that why Bradley Beal recognized the Clippers?
And you just heard Brooks say it. If they stay healthy,
(31:28):
they really have a chance to win now on paper.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
I'm sorry, Don, I only heard half that statement because
Steffusia's face is back in the window trying to get
another dog.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I saw him in the hallway. I told him they
were ready.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Oh yeah, maybe that's why he's back. Yeah, still to come.
Dave dou sec on the British showup in your top
story the day, talk about the All Star Game last night.
Great great game for the Dodgers, particularly Clayton Kershaw. What
a special moment that was in his two thirds of it.
And we'll get into all that as we continue to
seven pm. Don McLain in for p here on a
five to seventy LA Sports. Let's wait because we can
(32:02):
do it his plane.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
What do we need to do?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I gotta figure out how much time a little bit.
M huge thank you to Dino Evil. Awesome conversation. Who's
(32:39):
to your left there, Don? What do you got going there?
What's that steffush? Yeah, observations. It's hot dog day on
the Petro.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
So he's got three dogs.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
He's been in here for what at least seven minutes?
Three dogs, two with buns right, one without right. Don't
you grab the microphone, staffouche. I would have put you
on the air until you said, where's the ketchup?
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Yeah? He did to.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I mean we bring in the dogs, buns onions, mustard
relish and like a child who wants us to cut
the dog up and put toothpicks in there. I feel
like it's a ketchup.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
I feel like I'm the child of the bunch because
there's been five people eat hot dogs.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
I'm the only one that put relish on it. Oh,
I was going to, but yeah, you were going to.
I did no, I was you know what. You know
how it gets you get your hands on it, and like, man,
I's on a jam this thing, and I just want
to get after it. I mean, it's truly been like
it's true. It's the boss is coming in. Come on in,
be Long, Boss is coming in for hot dog Day.
Steffush has been getting after it for a solid seven
(33:37):
to eight minutes. He's been trying to put this thing together.
His plate. Two dogs with buns, one dog, no bun.
Oh shoot, you know what, be Long, you gotta wait
because Staffush cleaned it out. I just put the new
ones in, So we got to give me ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Matt, you're gonna run out of buns to dude, ten
minutes you think, so you run out of buns, oscar
and uh and be Long give me a favorite Staffush
on your way out with your three dogs.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Turn that thing up to hot on the on the thing,
turn it up to hot from warm high because we
got or on high. Yeah, there you go, Hi.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Matt, say the word if you need me to run
across the street real, Quessten.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
That was That was an act of heroism after Staffush
cleaned us out last time. By the way, is it
with a tea or a k okay good? Kate's calls
you scuff foush. Yeah, what is that a?
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Is it scuffoush? It is tea? Stuff fush? Yeah, stuff
fush yeah, making sure so. Kate's is just you know,
ribbing you a little bit with the scuff.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
I don't think this is gonna be the last we
see a Stuffush today.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Either.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
He'll be back in a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
He'll be back. He'll be back. At least he spared
a bun. Thank you, Steffush. It's hot dog day here.
I feel bad. I told the boss it was hot
dog day and he wrote back, dude in all caps
words starts traveling. Oscar came in and then I had
to send him away. I feel terrible, like, ah, let
the let the dogs warm. You don your first ever
(35:01):
very good, first ever dog from the Petros and Money Steamer.
Very good. Better than I thought. I don't know what
my expectation level was. It wasn't very high, understand, but I.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Think it exceeded expectations.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
That was That was a big That was a big
point of conversation yesterday on the show will Don Embrace
the hot dog? Does don like hot dogs? He's a grill.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I'll be honest. I don't eat a lot of hot dogs,
and I don't really have a reason for that. I
just don't have it. My boys aren't big hot dog
guys either, right, so I think that's part of it.
But I don't mind a hot dog every now and again.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
It's easy.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Oh, I know why we stopped eating a lot of
hot dogs. He's gonna know, he's gonna hate me saying
this on the air, But my middle son stopped eating
hot dogs because they gave him a headache.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
He claimed, Oh yeah, a hot dog.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
A hot dog.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I mean there's things that will give you headaches. I've
never heard of a hot dog doing He claims it
was hot dogs. They gave him headache. You know sometimes
that plants a seed. Yeah, you eat something once and
you're like, I'm never going back there again. Yeah, it
made me feel a certain way. Well, I'm glad to
hear that it wasn't passed on from dad. But Dad's yeay,
sucking back a dog. And I don't have a hot
dog yet, I mean a headache yet exactly. Adam's already
(36:11):
on two hot dog count Ronnie one.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
I'm coming in for another one as.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Ronnie's going to be on too, Don and I on one,
Steffus on three, just straight out the gate.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
I tried to set the line on Steffush right now.
It's five and a half.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
He's our Joey chestnut.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Yeah right, it really is. And he has no regard
for the other people in the office that might want
to get their hands on a dog. A big thanking
to Dino Ebel. We deserve better than that. But when
we came back for as soon as we hit the brake,
Steffush piled in here and went to work and was
in here.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
I feel like we could talk to Ebel for like
an hour.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Yeah it h and again like I didn't know that
that was the rule. And I'm sitting there watching with
the wife and my youngest and I'm like, oh no,
They're like what's Oh no, When they pulled Suarez and
put in and put in Diaz, I was like, that's
their last picture. Got a guy on third knocks him in.
(37:06):
I was like, this, he's gonna be a tie and
everyone's going to bitch and moan about it. And then
heard the news, which I had no idea had been
in place for three years now.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Oh really, yeah, Oh, I didn't know that it is.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Ago was when they installed the don't worry about saving pitchers.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
But obviously the first time this has happened, first.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Time that we ended up with a tie. So then
all of a sudden, Twitter starts going crazy because it's like, oh,
we're gonna get the swing off, and it's like all
the things that you think are going to be it's
a mockery. We're doing home everything's the home run and
that sort of thing. And it ended up being the
highlight of the game, particularly our friend third base coach
of the Dodgers, Dino Ebel, out there showcasing his skills
(37:43):
throwing VP. As he said, right around the high fifties.
I would have thought it was a little bit faster.
I don't know about you. Done as a man who
was a former coach pitch expert.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
We never got up into the fifties with six year old,
but uh, I think I was what he said. It
makes sense, like I think, but I think everyone's different.
I think all these guys that have thrown a million
hours of BP develop a style in a speed and
they just try and replicate it so that when whoever
it is, Taoscar, whoever it is, they know exactly how
(38:13):
it's gonna come.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yeah, the rhythm of the pitch.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
And here's my other I know that they I don't
know if they addressed it or not, but I'm assuming
the likes of Aaron Judge and Otani, they get pulled
from the game, they got a private jet waiting for him,
and they're not staying all night. They're getting the heck
out of there, probably and squeezing in their two days
of vacation since they've been in Atlanta, you know, since
(38:38):
the San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
It's interesting not to get on a whole tangent about this,
but in talking to professional athletes, which I'm around some,
especially this time of year and during that, a lot
of these professional athletes now have a budget built into
their yearly budget for private air travel right.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Makes sense. I mean, we talked about this yesterday when
we said it's a shame that you got sixers opting
out of the game, that people don't want to go,
and yet they're gonna bitch about Jacob Mazerowski going after
five starts. It's like, well, then go, he's not on
the team. If you guys end up going and taking
your spots. At the same time, I said, it's six
weeks in Phoenix or Florida.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Oh, I have a question, yeah, and you may may
or may not know the answer. So if I get
selected to the All Star Game.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
You get your bonus? Yes, I believe. So, I believe
you don't have to actually go and participate. Don't have
to go and participate. Now, the interesting one is the
out is the backside of that if you're selected as
an alternate. You know, if six guys opt out and
that's how you get in, do you then get your
All Stars.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Because a lot of these guys have roster bonuses.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Right, So I would assume if you're selected as an
All Star chain you've earned it. You're cashing that check.
M H. To me, it's like, is there a language
in the contract that says if you are an alternate,
your bonus.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
But then my guess is, no, I think if you're
an alternate or selected, I bet you get the bonus
no matter what.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
That would be my because you're close enough. Yeah, my
guess is you're going to get it. The team is
going to pay you for performing. Regardless if you're one
of the top twenty five or if you're number twenty
six through thirty, You're still going to get the bonus,
would be my guess. But thanks to Dina Weevil, that
was great. We have got Brook Lopez coming up in
the next hour. We're going to talk some basketball. As
(40:25):
the big news today. Clippers signed Bradley Beal. Chris Paul
very well could be on his way as well. Kind
of could be put together. They still lives here in
the offseason, wants to keep said he wants to play
one more year. And I didn't.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
He came and watched our stuff this spring one day
and I didn't realize this. I should have known. It
realized that guy played all eighty two last year.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Yeah, how about that? All eighty two for a Spurs
team that was a bottom five team in the league
at his age. It's crazy, that's yeah. That's kind of
what's funny is you know, we'll get into it. But
just the one thing with Lebron is Adam got on
me for all of my Lebron negativity yesterday saying you
can't pull anything like you can't give me anything positive. Uh,
(41:08):
And I think I came upon something. There's something I know.
Stop the presses. It's not I should well, I'll qualify it.
It's not necessarily positive towards Lebron, but just positive of
the situation and maybe what's happened.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
Positive adjacent for Lebron.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
Yes, positive adjacent is what we'll call it. We'll get
into that next week. Return Don in for p five
LA Sports Got throw some money AM five seventy l
(41:59):
A Sports Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Making our
way towards seven p m. Still to come, Dave Doucek
check that this will be five forty five still to come.
Your quick hits and if you missed it, we will
talk to Dino Ebel, third base coach of the Dodgers,
gets your dead and a live guy birthday that they
get out of here after four hours tomorrow. George Reister
(42:19):
going to be in for Petros who was out at
Mountain West Media Football Talk Tomorrow, Football Talk Tomorrow, no
doubt about it. Dodgers Brewers on Friday from the gallupin
Motors Broadcast booth. But worthy of discussion here. We got
into it a little bit earlier this hour. Are actually
early in the four o'clock hour down but following the
(42:42):
addition of Bradley Beal just kind of put together the
top five. You know, you're starting fives and your impact
players off the bench. And I think the one thing
that may be because I hear people talking about, oh,
the Clippers and how they had Beel to go with Jones,
Leonard Zoubs and Harden and the Thunder, or I should
(43:05):
say the Lakers get DeAndre Ayton a legitimate center. It
was the one thing they desperately needed. And don't forget,
this was the three seed last year. This was a
this was a it's okay, this was the three seed
last year. But then I looked at the Thunder and
I'm like, is that kind of part of the calculus
(43:28):
with the Clippers, Like, you know what, We're just we're
gonna ride this thing out for two years because there's
no sense trying to rebuild, right now have no draft
picks that well, they have no draft picks. I just
mean like in terms of, oh, we should trade and
get a little bit younger and try to kind of
the thunder are a freaking buzz saw, and they are
going to be a buzz saw, and the best shot
(43:48):
you're gonna have at them is just hoping that these
guys are healthy and you've got these MVPs and veterans
that can take it to them.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Well, Kawhi coming off being healthy for the first time
in a while, have the off season not rehabbing, working
out and getting ready for next year. But I'm telling you,
I really, really
Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Got that right, Mat, There we go.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Don McClain is in for Petros Sela Sports Live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio Apple. We just won't be defeated Wednesday.
I will say I am nearly defeated, Don. It's a
big day. It's a big day on the Petros and
Money Show, and I'm running a bit of a scramble
drill here and Ronnie knows, And it's good to have
you back, Ronnie, welcome back. Hope you enjoyed your time off.
(00:45):
Ronnie knows what a scramble drill hot Dog Day can
be because Ronnie had to scramble on our last Hot
Dog Day like a mother scratch.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
That's right, Matt. Remember I had to run across the
street and get those woke dogs for you and Petros.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Exactly, the woke dogs from UH.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I thought that I thought the hot dog Maker would
be bigger.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
The hot dog Maker surprisingly packs a pretty good punch.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I'm not saying it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I just I mean it looks small, yeah, but the
way that it works, and I got to do a
little bit of a I don't wanna I don't want
to melt these computers from two thousand and six that
were put in here because we're gonna have like a
ten camera shoot for each of our show. My man,
what we're gonna do, there's gonna be it's gonna be
ground zero. In the other studio. We're gonna have nine
cameras in here and all these computers, and somehow all
(01:33):
of that equipment just disappears that.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I think those cameras are still in the storage, clots
it down the hall.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
It's like a fifty thousand dollars operations that's gonna be great,
and I think they've essentially fifty thousand dollars paperweight. So here,
I got to move the hot dog maker so I
can get some power to it. It's National hot Dog Day.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Have you already put the water in it?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
There's some water in it, but I gotta put more
because I was in a in a rush running the
scramble drill to get this thing over here. So I'm
plug plugging in, plug it in. And this is a
big deal now, like it's hot dog Day has become
quite the thing in these parts. Word travels around the
(02:11):
office for whatever reason, I don't know, why it works
this way. But when it's hot dog day, you just
end up running into people in the office that you
normally don't see. Since COVID, like many offices around the country, iHeartRadio,
has also become a bit of a ghost town.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, parking is a lot better when I come here.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Remember when we actually realized that there was a second
and third floor and a fourth floor to our parking garage?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I remember, isn't there five or six? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I remember parking on the sixth floor? Sometimes we never
go past one. Now, No, that's the way it works. Now,
I got to turn it on. Don Can you get
your eyes on there? Tell me what we're what we're
looking at. We got to get this thing rolling.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Here?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Is it on? It's say? That is that high?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Now?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
That's on high? Is that what we got going? All right?
It's on high? Now there we go? All right, so
we're good. There the hot dog makes it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
It's either warm or high.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Right, So, Hi, it's what we're gonna use to cook
it now. I don't know where Adam is. I think
he's running a bit of a scramble drill as well.
Adam Ouslin in for Tim Kates today so we just
won't be defeated. Wednesday, it's a walk your bike Wednesday,
So what am I gonna do with this guy? Wednesday?
It's a don't text and walk Wednesday. But it is
also most importantly here on your home of the World
(03:30):
Series Champion Dodgers Dodgers off until Friday Galpin Motors Broadcast Booth.
The Brewers will be in for a series the Dodgers
back in action on Friday, so we got a full
four hour show today. But today is National Hot Dog Day.
Now we knew it was coming. We might not have
been tipped off to it were it not for our
(03:51):
friends at the Doghouse serving dogs for our Ben Casparius
inside the Locker Room broadcast on Monday, and as they
were able to serve dogs to awe and that's where
there could be a little bit of a wrench thrown
into Hot Dog Day here on the Petros and Money
Show with Don McClean sitting in for pe Is. We
(04:12):
just had dogs, and we just had Doghouse dogs and
they are incredible. So for me, uh not that there's
anything wrong with Hoffey hot dogs. We love hoppy, hoppy
hot dogs, local original, great and the official dog of
Dodger Baseball. So, oh yeah, do they make the Dodger dogs.
They make the Dodger dogs. Oh they do, is now
the Dodger dog of record. And so we love Hoffey.
(04:33):
They take care of us, We take care of them.
We're gonna serve our Because I was gonna ask that, Matt.
Seems like the synergy would make sense to have Dodger dogs, right,
and so that's that's what we're having now. I don't
have a wheel. If I if I could buy an
onion wheel and mount it on the edge of that table,
I would. I think that'd be but I'd probably be
worried that it's gonna get a little moldy. Yeah, it's well,
(04:57):
you said once a year, Don but well it's only
National Hot Dog Day into your that's fair. But on
the Petros and Money Show, I think every now and then, Oh, good, Adam,
you're back. Adam, can you crack the mic there? I
need to need a little bit of help here, fully
functioned employee Adam in for Tim Kates producing the show.
(05:22):
Adam need a little bit of assistance here. As we're running,
we're scrambling, we're efforting, we're scrambling. Because of the rare
occasion of the show prior to us being in here
in studio, we're able to set up the hot Dog pander.
Adam's a little off today, and I know why Adam's
off every day. There's a clipper signing today that I'm
(05:43):
a little frazzled that we're going to talk about. He
wants in on that conversation. Why don't you set this
one out? Don and I are going to talk Bradley
Beale and that's fine. You're more than welcome to that.
But Adam, if you could, we need you're the producer
of the show. It's hot Dog Day on the Petros
and Money Show. The Dogs. Everything is in the fridge,
the bullpen fridge. If you could grab it, bring it
in because I've got to load the dog maker immediately. Buns, dogs, mustard, onions, relish,
(06:09):
all of that needs to get in here so we
can get no ketchup steam, no ketchup, good call, don
no ketchup.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
There is steam coming out of there.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
There's steam coming out of there already. That's why I
said we got to get these dogs in there.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Matt.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Let me ask you questions. Yes, now, you did a
lot of pre planning this time around, didn't you right?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Did right? Three packages of hot dogs, two packages of buns.
I figure, Ronnie, if we go through twenty dos, if
we go through let's see two packages of bun, there's
ten per package, right, ten or eight buns? Is it
eight buns or ten? Which ones?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I think it's eight. I think it's eight.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
So that would be packed sixteen dogs with buns if
we go through. Uh, if we go through that much,
If we go through sixteen dogs, I feel like you
can have a dog without a bun.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Matt. I think you should have bought another pack a bit,
because you know, once the bitch gets wind of the
hot dogs wafting that hot dog smell wafting down the
hall from KFI from here to KFI, he's gonna be
in here wanting three four hot dogs, just like last time.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You're just gonna put me down for one, Matt. So well,
you're not a huge hot dog guy. I hate to
be the the party pooper.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
That was our big discussion yesterday. We're like, how is
don gonna feel about steamed dogs? Is he gonna be
okay with it? Is he not gonna be into it?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I mean, I'm gonna eat one just to be part
of the team, but.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Be part of hot dog Day.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, that too.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
The dogs are in the first package of dogs are in.
And now this is the key to our hot dog
maker is the buns getting steamed. That's what really for
how long as long as you want? Really, yeah, we'll
just leave him in there. Once these things get rolling,
the buns will be steamed. The uh they get nice
and soft and gooey like you get at the at
(07:56):
the hot dog stand. And now we got onions, we
got mustard, we got relish.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
We probably need to open the condiments too.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yeah, and I think we can probably put those other
dogs back in the fridge along with uh yeah, we'll
put those other dogs back in the fridge at the break.
But at least we got this some operation it is,
and it was. It was really one of our great investments. Now,
a handful of things have been purchased by the Petrosen
Money Show. The mini fridge outside, we purchased this and
(08:28):
the majority of these things. Understand that the show is
of a certain age. This is our nineteenth year on
the air. The show is a oh boy, see what
I mean. It's like he knows Stefush has already got
They're not warm yet. They we just started.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
He's got the biggest smile on his face I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Just started, Stefush, we just started. They're cold, They're literally cold.
So you're gonna have to give us at least thirty
minutes to get these things rolling. But what he's already here.
We're ten minutes fifty three.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
He's gonna start the line outside the door, like getting
into the arena before the game.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Ronnie, you might be right, You might be right. Sixteen
might not be enough. His Steffusch has already showed up.
He's like, hey, Petro's Money show on the air. It's
hot dog day. I'm in.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I told you, man, I may have to run across
the street again for some more woke dogs.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, you're right, Well, the dogs we got covered. We
got thirty dogs, so we got sixteen buns. We got
thirty dogs. But at the point, why.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Didn't you buy another pack of buns?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I think I forgot man, that's a good question. Why
didn't I buy another pack of buns? I think I
had already done the loop. I think I had already
done the loop over the condiments, and I was like,
you know what, sixteen buns is enough, man, sixteen full dogs.
We're gonna find out, Yes we are. And considering steffushe
poked his head in here at three to eleven PM.
And for those that don't know, he's the board op
(09:50):
for the Conway Show. But to the point I was
making like the show's been on the air long enough
that the hot dog maker does that stay here in
the office, stays in the office. The mini fridge we
purchased them at the sadly now gone and knocked down.
The kids don't realize what they missed out on UFO
(10:10):
crashed into the front fries A Burbank, the Fries Electronic
the airport. Yes, right by the Burbank Airport. We would
get off the air at seven and you know, we
would get on these tangents during the show of you know,
it'd be kind of cool. What if we got fill
in the blank and we would go to Fries and
Fries was essentially like Amazon inside of a building. It
(10:32):
was Fries Electronics and they had appliances and we would
roll in and this was one of the purchases. This
is the second. Now I will say full disclosure, This
one I believe came off Amazon because the first one,
as you would expect from a couple of idiots, it broke. Well, no,
(10:53):
we did. We had hot Dog Day and then we
forgot to clean it and so you know, you leave
a couple things in there and leave it in the
office and you don't think about it for a month
or so and then you're like, oh, that's that's going
straight to the trash. So this is the second petros
in money show, Hotdog Maker. You concerned it all that
(11:13):
we have a little water leakage. Is that normal? Do
we in the front? Or is that just from when
you put the water in. That's a fair point. Let's
see what we got going here. That's what do you think.
I think it might be from just when you put
it in, when I put it in. But it's probably
not good having water next to all these wires either. Well,
let me tell you something about these wires. Don I
don't know if you heard, but these wires were part
(11:36):
of a fifty thousand dollars multi camera. My man, we're
going multimedia with the show. We're going to be on
the YouTube, We're going to be on AM five seventy,
LA sports dot com, every day, and that equipment never
moved from the studio. We aren't in into this studio yet.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
The wires are still there.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Wire's still here. Computers, the I I.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Haven't seen one of those think pads in a while.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Going to say, let me see, like is this is
this even a Lenovo like this could be just to
kind of get my tech geek on me.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
That looks like what TVs look like.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Now, yeah, yeah, this is Those things are about ten
years old, so if they get I don't even know
what they do anymore. So, yeah, smell the waft. There's
some dog oder in here. Yeah, yeah, the hot dogs
are cooking. I bet Staffush smelt it from out at
his desk, even behind the steel studio door. So it
is National hot dog Day. It's hot dog Day on
(12:31):
the Petros and Money Show, which means we're gonna have
some friends swinging by. In the first commercial break, I'll
get settled in here, set the hot dog maker up
where it's supposed to go, make sure we have enough water,
make sure we got plates, spoon for the onions, mustard relish,
all ready to go. And I did spring for the
Frenches today. Full this What do you normally get. Well,
(12:53):
you know, I'm a cheap skate. Okay, So the last
time we had hot dog Day, I got the sig
a't your brand yellow mustard.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
It just said mustard on the front.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, it was a dollar ninety nine instead of the
Frenches that was three forty nine. And I wanted to
save the yes bug fifty. Yes really, I saved the
dollar fifty by getting the generic mustard. And I didn't
hear the end of it. So I bet full Frenches today.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I didn't even know there was other mustard other than Frenches.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, so full Frenches and I sprung for the dice onions,
so you know, went high and I went for the
vlastic relish, not the generic relish. So if you're into mustle,
what are you done? Do you get to reimburses? Oh?
God no, Oh that would get kicked back in a
half sight. It would get kicked back with double middle fingers.
(13:44):
What the hell kuint operation do you think for? I'm
just hoping they pay me for my mileage all the
way out to the Kook. You know, they're like, wait
a minute, you're driving a mos to c X ninety
from Galpin, What the hell are we paying you for? Well, yeah,
just little gas reimbursement. I thought it was a plug
in hybrid it is. I thought you said you were
getting forty of the gown. I am, so you want
us to give you a hundred bucks mileage, That's what
I'm saying. Man, they'll take it up with the irs.
(14:06):
You probably need the rite off anyway, So no, I
am not being reimbursed for the I think it ended
up coming out to right around twenty about twenty bucks.
What's it bad? A couple packages of dogs, a couple
packages of buns, mustard relish onions like.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Maul price to pay for National Hot Dog Days.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
And for you know what office place camaraderie. That's right,
that's what this is for the very few that still
come into the office. Look at Adam producing his ass
off paper toal plates. He brought in the dogs and
the condiments. All right, we're good today on the show.
I know we just won't be divided Wednesday. Adam doing
a bang up job filling in for Tim Kates. How
(14:46):
about this three guest show? We'll do two guests. Rarely
do we get a three guest show, but today, because
Adam put out a lot of feelers, guess we got
Brook Lopez got back to him one of the newest
Clippers former Laker Stanford Cardinal.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I can't do this to Tim.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I didn't do as it was all Timmy, Tim.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I'm assist I'm assistant producer. Okay, I thought maybe you
did some of it. I figured maybe you'd reach out
to your Clippers people. That got us Brook. That wasn't you.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
It was not Tim found a different route.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Is that right? Well done? Brook Lopez will join us
in the four o'clock hour about four thirty pm. Dave Ducek,
our dear friend. Anytime a major rolls around or Tiger
Woods flips, a car gets hit in the face with
the golf club is discovered engaging in relations with a
Perkins manager, the deucer comes on. So British Open starts
(15:42):
tomorrow tonight. Oh, that's right tonight. It starts tonight. So
the deucer will come on in the five o'clock hour.
Preview that for us, And how about this as your
home of the Dodgers. The World Series champion Dodgers Ziero
(16:03):
of the All Star Game, Tino Ebel, friend of the show,
third base coach for the Dodgers, was responsible as the
BP pitcher for the home run swing off to break
the tie in Atlanta and Dino and of course a
great week for the Evil family. His son Brady was
(16:24):
drafted in the first round, making it three for the
Corona High Panthers. Seth Hernandez went six to the Pirates,
Billy Carlson went ten to the White Sox, and then
his son Brady goes thirty two to the Brewers team
that'll start the second half of the season, by the way,
with the Dodgers. So Dino Ebel going to join us,
And anytime we're at Dodger Stadium and we want to
(16:46):
catch up with Dino. He's always great with us with
his time. Listeners love him because he just he talks
the game so well. So we'll have him here at
the bottom of the hour and the very next segment
as a matter of fact, And I'll be honest, normally
we would take this to like, you know, Petros and
I tend to drag this thing out till like twenty
three or so. But I think in this case, what
we got with the hot Dog maker to the yeah,
(17:08):
I want to make sure we get this all squared away,
get everything settled. Hot Dog Happy, National Hot Dog Day. Everybody,
get on over to the doghouse, download that House Rewards app,
get your free dog, or if you're here in the
iHeartRadio studios in our program is being pumped throughout the
hallways and you're on the fourth floor, fifth floor, not welcome,
(17:29):
Not really? Why not too many people? Oh yeah, we
got Mark and Kim up there at coast, you know,
you got Oh it's Valentine and exactly it's just too
much up there. You know, maybe maybe Booker and Striker
if they want to pop down and grab a dog
over there on all ninety eight to seven. They're fans
of the show, even though we were on at the
exact same time. That might be the only one. I think.
(17:50):
We did a cruise show. We like the Cruise Show.
Those guys are great, but you know, we got to
get the dog squared away. Dino Ebel will join us
when we were turned Don McClain in for p on
National Hot Dog Day and it's Hot Dog Day on
the Petros and Money Show. Okay, Petro some Money, Hey
(18:19):
and five seventy Ela Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
You're Home of the Dodgers. It is the All Star
break and the Dodgers back in action on Friday. They'll
play host to the Brewers. Petros out Don McLain, the
PAC twelve's all time leading score in for p today
and we are your Clippers station. You also hear Don
and see Don as a matter of fact on the
(18:41):
Clippers television broadcast, our man Adam filling in today for
tim Cats pre half in post for the Clippers. So
as the All Star break is upon us, opportunity for
us to catch up with one of our all time favorites.
Born here in the San Fernando Valley, raised in the
five to five to nine school at Stanford. Of course,
stint with the Lakers, won a champion being ship with
the Bucks, and now back in southern California, signed as
(19:03):
a free agent to play with the Clippers. It is
the great Brook Lopez joining the show. Brook, thanks so
much for taking some time. How are you.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
I'm just doing great, thrilled to be back home, happy
to be here talking with you guys.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
How much of that Brooke was in signing with the
Clippers about coming back home? Was it the opportunity in
the fact that the Clippers are building and you know
in the players you get to play with or was
it you know, all of it?
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Oh, it was absolutely all of it. It's just a
perfect situation. You know, first and foremost, obviously for me,
it's went about winning. So looking at the Clippers team,
what they did last season, who's on the roster, and
our team has been coming easy. It was a pretty
easy choice in that regard. But of course being back home,
(19:51):
being able to play in front of fans that are
friends and family as well as you know, obviously some
new friends on meet along the way. It's just it's
it is impossible turned down kind of.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Give us an idea when it look not a lot
of people have an opportunity to have the longevity you've had, Like,
how how has your game changed? How have you changed?
How have you managed to stay this effective this long?
I mean you were in the conversation as Defensive Player
of the Year a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Yeah, you know, for me, it's just about putting work in.
And you know, I've always been blessed and fortunate to
be around people who feel the same way, whether it's teammates,
touching staff, or people in the training moom in the
labor you know, and guys like that throughout my career
have I've just been surrounded by the best of the
best to have helped me take care of my body,
(20:42):
helped me learn about what I have to do off
season during the season to recover to be ready to
play once that all goes up.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
How much have you had discussions brooke with the coaching
staff or the front office about how you're going to
be used, because I think it's interesting. You know, Zubots
is one of the best young centers in the game,
but much different than you. Doesn't shoot threes, doesn't stretch
the floor, but you evolved into that through throughout your
career and become a very good three point shooter at
that position. How do you foresee your role on the
(21:12):
team playing with with Zobots because you guys are so
different offensively.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Yeah, I think we complimentary compliment each other so so well,
you know, and I just think the world of Zubie.
You know, I think he's just beginning to scratch the
surface of his potential. He's so talented that there's not
much he can't do, and so, you know, I'm looking
forward to learning from him, helping him out, you know.
(21:39):
And obviously you know, letting him dominate in the paint.
And I'm happy to be wherever on the perimeter and
the paint, wherever the Clippers need me.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
You you know him, you guys were together on the
Lakers when when he was a rookie. Kind of how
I don't want to say surprise, that's the wrong word,
but kind of just the path that he's taken and
out becoming one of the best big men in the
game versus what he was sort of that raw prospect
that he was when when you first met him, when
he was drafted by the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Yeah, there's no surprise there at all. You know, you
could always see it. He's always had the talent, he's
always had the right work ethic of mentality, I can say.
You know, it was shocking, you know how pretty simply
the Clippers landed him. You know, you know, I think
everyone in the league could see the player he was,
(22:27):
the player he's kipped of being, you know, and so
it's just such a boon for the Clippers to get him,
you know. Uh, and uh, he's obviously made good you know,
on their on their hopes, and you know, and I'm
glad to be here as well.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I'm sure you've talked about it a million times, Brooke,
but I guess for our listeners here in Southern California,
you're coming back to Southern California. Take us back to
when you decided that you wanted to become more of
a three point shooter. I was looking through your career
stats today, and there's there's that one season where you
hadn't shooting any and then that one season you started
shooting a lot of them. Take us back through that
(23:04):
process in your thought process of getting that incorporated into
your game, the three point shooting.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Yeah, you know I was. I was still with the
Brooklyn Nets and we had just hired Kenny Atkinson. And
in our first conversation, you know, he came from Atlanta.
He was an assistant with Mike Budenholzer or someone I
ended up playing with in Milwaukee court. But well, when
he got hired in Brooklyn, he told me he wanted
to play a lot of that five out offense, you know,
(23:33):
if I around the perimeter that coach budd had been
doing in Atlanta. And so he asked me if I'd
be willing, you know, or capable of want to shoot threes.
I was like yeah, let's do it, you know. And
so I just put the work in that offseason to
add that to my game. You know. That's that's you know,
how I see myself as a player. Whatever a coach
(23:54):
or whoever needs me whatever they want me to do,
need me a dude to help the team succeed, I'm
going to be figuring out a way to do that
and get out of that. Was it? Uh?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Because like Don said, I mean, you went from from
almost none to over five per game? Was it just
had Did you always have it? Did you feel like
you always had it? And coaches just you know, that
wasn't really the thinking on the teams that you were
playing for, or like you said, was it no, I've
now got to learn how to shoot threes?
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Like?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
What was that sort of relationship?
Speaker 4 (24:23):
I think I'd always had it. It was something that, Uh,
I'd been lucky to have coaches growing up who let
me work on guard stuff, wing stuff, forward stuff as
well as comfortable doing it. I shot a lot of
picking Devin Harris VI's harter, you know, and it was
(24:47):
just a matter of getting the confidence to step a
few feet behind the three point fly, you know. I
remember shooting my first one and uh my first one
preseason game in Boston and can get in from the
top of the key and you know, looking at Kenny
and you know he just smiled and just told me
to keep going, keep letting it fly, you know, because
(25:09):
because there was something we needed to wit the Huli
was getting that confidence from epitching staff, from my teammates
of do that.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I think one of the narratives brooke from the Clipper
season last year, even though they fell a little bit
short and losing to Denver in the first round, was
Jeff Van Gundy joining the staff and just what a
difference he made, you could tell on the defensive side
of the ball. Matt mentioned it earlier that you were
in the running for Defensive Player of the Year. How
much of that is still a big part of your
game is on the defense, in rim protection and those
(25:42):
things that have made you so valuable on that side
of the ball for so long.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
It's a huge part. You know. I loved being a
defensive anchor in my time Milwaukee, and you know, like
I feel like I'm a winning player. I love winning
and defense is a huge part about winning, you know,
it's the biggest part about winning. So It's a huge
part of my game still, and hopefully it's it's something.
We have some great defenders on the team already a
(26:09):
great defensive team, like you said, Coach Gunny's incredible defense
of Guru. Hopefully I can add something to that with
my audition here.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
How how what was the process, like Brooke, just kind
of deciding where you wanted to go. We knew that
you were in high demand. Obviously the Lakers were being
mentioned as one of the teams you could end up with.
How long did it take you to figure it out?
And how hard or easy of a decision was it?
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Oh, I want to obviously a requirement for me, and
the Clippers showed great interest right away, and so that
pretty much was it, you know, like I said, a
perfect situation, dream situation.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Brook Lopez with us the newest Clipper. Last thing for me, Brooke,
the into it Dome. We we've been fortunate right here
in our backyard, like we said, where the Clipper station.
Everybody that goes the first time walks out and is
incredibly impressed. Just kind of your thoughts on the arena?
Are all arenas the same to you? Do you take
time to kind of look around and see what's different
(27:14):
about all of them, and just kind of your thoughts
on on where you're going to be playing your home games.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Yeah. No, I absolutely appreciated it. Coming in and playing
my first game there last season as a visitor. You know, obviously,
I was just blown away by how grand it is,
you know, and I thought the fans were absolutely magnificent.
You know, everyone was just on top of you. It
was such a fun environment to play in, you know,
(27:42):
and just seeing you know, as a visitor again, you know,
we were in our locker room and we had amenities
like cold tubs and hot tubs, things that you don't
see in visitors' locker room, you know, and so we
could only imagine what the home tea locker room is like.
And so being out here this past week, getting to
go into the couple's facility a little bit, starting to
(28:05):
get it home there, I've just I've been blown away
by everything, you know, seeing seeing the passion and trust
and faith that Steve Bomber has in this team and
how much obviously he's backed at you know, clearly with
his wallet as well as his heart. You know, it's
it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Last thing for me, Brooke and we say this year
after year that Laurence Frank and his staff doing an
incredible job in the off season of identifying what they
need and then putting that together. Unfortunately, injuries have been
a big part of the story for the Clippers. Clippers
over the last few seasons. But I want to get
your thoughts quickly on the additions of John Collins and
then today Bradley Beale coming to the Clippers as well.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah. You know, Coach Frank as part of the group
that drafted me way back when with the New Jersey Nets.
So I've had a long, great relationship with him and
he's one of the greatest basketball mindes I've been around
in the talent he's assembled here the new guys like
you mentioned Brad and John, and then the group that's
(29:08):
already here. You know, help's the only thing for us,
you know, if we're fortunate, you know, and everything rolls
the right way, you know, we have a great shot
away in the championship.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Well always great. Oh last thing, I know, I said
last thing. This is the third time we've said last thing, Brook,
But where did you live when you are you know,
not the address, but where did you live when you
were with the Lakers. Are you going to move back
to the same neighborhood. Did you keep the house, did
you buy a house? Have you been renting it out?
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Like?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
What about the living situation as it changed kind of
from the last time you were here. I know it
was just a short stay the last time.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Yeah, yeah, I was up actually by the by the
Getty Museum off you know, by Skurball Getty Center Drive
in that area, you know, And obviously I'm a big
Disney guy. Wouldn't mind living in Disneyland, you know. I
don't know that's really logical, you know, uh, with the
Clipper stuff being all at Englewood and everything. But uh,
(30:06):
I've definitely been looking around areas. And again, you know,
the Into It Dome is so incredible, so state of art,
so amazing, has everything we need for games and practice.
It's hard to imagine not being close to thereas it's
just so perfect.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I hear there's a studio apartment in Club thirty three.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
I was gonna say, is there bench in Club thirty three?
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Well, I mean, you guys, hope we can probably get
that done there. And also, you know, hush, hush, right.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Right, hush exactly nobody's listening any way. All right, we
appreciate it everyone. Brook Lopez lives here, Hey best and
they serve booze. This is incredible, Uh, Brooke, we appreciate it.
Congratulations on signing. We look forward to watching you play man.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Start to you guys later, he goes.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Brook Lopez, as we are your home of the Clippers
summer league. Action continues Adam Oslin all hot and bothered
by the signing the brad Beal. It was very nice
of you to allow him a little bit of a
conversation Don with you about the future prospects of the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah, and I think, look, they traded for John Collins,
but Bradley Beal chose to sign with the Clippers. And
I know it's Kawhi and all the other pieces that
are on the Clipper team, but you just wonder, Brook Lopez,
John Collins, is that why Bradley Beal recognized the Clippers?
And you just heard Brooks say it. If they stay healthy,
(31:28):
they really have a chance to win now on paper.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
I'm sorry, Don, I only heard half that statement because
Steffusia's face is back in the window trying to get
another dog.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I saw him in the hallway. I told him they
were ready.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Oh yeah, maybe that's why he's back. Yeah, still to come.
Dave dou sec on the British showup in your top
story the day, talk about the All Star Game last night.
Great great game for the Dodgers, particularly Clayton Kershaw. What
a special moment that was in his two thirds of it.
And we'll get into all that as we continue to
seven pm. Don McLain in for p here on a
five to seventy LA Sports. Let's wait because we can
(32:02):
do it his plane.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
What do we need to do?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I gotta figure out how much time a little bit.
M huge thank you to Dino Evil. Awesome conversation. Who's
(32:39):
to your left there, Don? What do you got going there?
What's that steffush? Yeah, observations. It's hot dog day on
the Petro.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
So he's got three dogs.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
He's been in here for what at least seven minutes?
Three dogs, two with buns right, one without right. Don't
you grab the microphone, staffouche. I would have put you
on the air until you said, where's the ketchup?
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Yeah? He did to.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I mean we bring in the dogs, buns onions, mustard
relish and like a child who wants us to cut
the dog up and put toothpicks in there. I feel
like it's a ketchup.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
I feel like I'm the child of the bunch because
there's been five people eat hot dogs.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
I'm the only one that put relish on it. Oh,
I was going to, but yeah, you were going to.
I did no, I was you know what. You know
how it gets you get your hands on it, and like, man,
I's on a jam this thing, and I just want
to get after it. I mean, it's truly been like
it's true. It's the boss is coming in. Come on in,
be Long, Boss is coming in for hot dog Day.
Steffush has been getting after it for a solid seven
(33:37):
to eight minutes. He's been trying to put this thing together.
His plate. Two dogs with buns, one dog, no bun.
Oh shoot, you know what, be Long, you gotta wait
because Staffush cleaned it out. I just put the new
ones in, So we got to give me ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Matt, you're gonna run out of buns to dude, ten
minutes you think, so you run out of buns, oscar
and uh and be Long give me a favorite Staffush
on your way out with your three dogs.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Turn that thing up to hot on the on the thing,
turn it up to hot from warm high because we
got or on high. Yeah, there you go, Hi.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Matt, say the word if you need me to run
across the street real, Quessten.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
That was That was an act of heroism after Staffush
cleaned us out last time. By the way, is it
with a tea or a k okay good? Kate's calls
you scuff foush. Yeah, what is that a?
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Is it scuffoush? It is tea? Stuff fush? Yeah, stuff
fush yeah, making sure so. Kate's is just you know,
ribbing you a little bit with the scuff.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
I don't think this is gonna be the last we
see a Stuffush today.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Either.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
He'll be back in a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
He'll be back. He'll be back. At least he spared
a bun. Thank you, Steffush. It's hot dog day here.
I feel bad. I told the boss it was hot
dog day and he wrote back, dude in all caps
words starts traveling. Oscar came in and then I had
to send him away. I feel terrible, like, ah, let
the let the dogs warm. You don your first ever
(35:01):
very good, first ever dog from the Petros and Money Steamer.
Very good. Better than I thought. I don't know what
my expectation level was. It wasn't very high, understand, but I.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Think it exceeded expectations.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
That was That was a big That was a big
point of conversation yesterday on the show will Don Embrace
the hot dog? Does don like hot dogs? He's a grill.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I'll be honest. I don't eat a lot of hot dogs,
and I don't really have a reason for that. I
just don't have it. My boys aren't big hot dog
guys either, right, so I think that's part of it.
But I don't mind a hot dog every now and again.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
It's easy.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Oh, I know why we stopped eating a lot of
hot dogs. He's gonna know, he's gonna hate me saying
this on the air, But my middle son stopped eating
hot dogs because they gave him a headache.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
He claimed, Oh yeah, a hot dog.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
A hot dog.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I mean there's things that will give you headaches. I've
never heard of a hot dog doing He claims it
was hot dogs. They gave him headache. You know sometimes
that plants a seed. Yeah, you eat something once and
you're like, I'm never going back there again. Yeah, it
made me feel a certain way. Well, I'm glad to
hear that it wasn't passed on from dad. But Dad's yeay,
sucking back a dog. And I don't have a hot
dog yet, I mean a headache yet exactly. Adam's already
(36:11):
on two hot dog count Ronnie one.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
I'm coming in for another one as.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Ronnie's going to be on too, Don and I on one,
Steffus on three, just straight out the gate.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
I tried to set the line on Steffush right now.
It's five and a half.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
He's our Joey chestnut.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Yeah right, it really is. And he has no regard
for the other people in the office that might want
to get their hands on a dog. A big thanking
to Dino Ebel. We deserve better than that. But when
we came back for as soon as we hit the brake,
Steffush piled in here and went to work and was
in here.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
I feel like we could talk to Ebel for like
an hour.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Yeah it h and again like I didn't know that
that was the rule. And I'm sitting there watching with
the wife and my youngest and I'm like, oh no,
They're like what's Oh no, When they pulled Suarez and
put in and put in Diaz, I was like, that's
their last picture. Got a guy on third knocks him in.
(37:06):
I was like, this, he's gonna be a tie and
everyone's going to bitch and moan about it. And then
heard the news, which I had no idea had been
in place for three years now.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Oh really, yeah, Oh, I didn't know that it is.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Ago was when they installed the don't worry about saving pitchers.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
But obviously the first time this has happened, first.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Time that we ended up with a tie. So then
all of a sudden, Twitter starts going crazy because it's like, oh,
we're gonna get the swing off, and it's like all
the things that you think are going to be it's
a mockery. We're doing home everything's the home run and
that sort of thing. And it ended up being the
highlight of the game, particularly our friend third base coach
of the Dodgers, Dino Ebel, out there showcasing his skills
(37:43):
throwing VP. As he said, right around the high fifties.
I would have thought it was a little bit faster.
I don't know about you. Done as a man who
was a former coach pitch expert.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
We never got up into the fifties with six year old,
but uh, I think I was what he said. It
makes sense, like I think, but I think everyone's different.
I think all these guys that have thrown a million
hours of BP develop a style in a speed and
they just try and replicate it so that when whoever
it is, Taoscar, whoever it is, they know exactly how
(38:13):
it's gonna come.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yeah, the rhythm of the pitch.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
And here's my other I know that they I don't
know if they addressed it or not, but I'm assuming
the likes of Aaron Judge and Otani, they get pulled
from the game, they got a private jet waiting for him,
and they're not staying all night. They're getting the heck
out of there, probably and squeezing in their two days
of vacation since they've been in Atlanta, you know, since
(38:38):
the San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
It's interesting not to get on a whole tangent about this,
but in talking to professional athletes, which I'm around some,
especially this time of year and during that, a lot
of these professional athletes now have a budget built into
their yearly budget for private air travel right.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Makes sense. I mean, we talked about this yesterday when
we said it's a shame that you got sixers opting
out of the game, that people don't want to go,
and yet they're gonna bitch about Jacob Mazerowski going after
five starts. It's like, well, then go, he's not on
the team. If you guys end up going and taking
your spots. At the same time, I said, it's six
weeks in Phoenix or Florida.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Oh, I have a question, yeah, and you may may
or may not know the answer. So if I get
selected to the All Star Game.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
You get your bonus? Yes, I believe. So, I believe
you don't have to actually go and participate. Don't have
to go and participate. Now, the interesting one is the
out is the backside of that if you're selected as
an alternate. You know, if six guys opt out and
that's how you get in, do you then get your
All Stars.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Because a lot of these guys have roster bonuses.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Right, So I would assume if you're selected as an
All Star chain you've earned it. You're cashing that check.
M H. To me, it's like, is there a language
in the contract that says if you are an alternate,
your bonus.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
But then my guess is, no, I think if you're
an alternate or selected, I bet you get the bonus
no matter what.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
That would be my because you're close enough. Yeah, my
guess is you're going to get it. The team is
going to pay you for performing. Regardless if you're one
of the top twenty five or if you're number twenty
six through thirty, You're still going to get the bonus,
would be my guess. But thanks to Dina Weevil, that
was great. We have got Brook Lopez coming up in
the next hour. We're going to talk some basketball. As
(40:25):
the big news today. Clippers signed Bradley Beal. Chris Paul
very well could be on his way as well. Kind
of could be put together. They still lives here in
the offseason, wants to keep said he wants to play
one more year. And I didn't.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
He came and watched our stuff this spring one day
and I didn't realize this. I should have known. It
realized that guy played all eighty two last year.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Yeah, how about that? All eighty two for a Spurs
team that was a bottom five team in the league
at his age. It's crazy, that's yeah. That's kind of
what's funny is you know, we'll get into it. But
just the one thing with Lebron is Adam got on
me for all of my Lebron negativity yesterday saying you
can't pull anything like you can't give me anything positive. Uh,
(41:08):
And I think I came upon something. There's something I know.
Stop the presses. It's not I should well, I'll qualify it.
It's not necessarily positive towards Lebron, but just positive of
the situation and maybe what's happened.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
Positive adjacent for Lebron.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
Yes, positive adjacent is what we'll call it. We'll get
into that next week. Return Don in for p five
LA Sports Got throw some money AM five seventy l

check that this will be five forty five still to come.
Your quick hits and if you missed it, we will
talk to Dino Ebel, third base coach of the Dodgers,
gets your dead and a live guy birthday that they
get out of here after four hours tomorrow. George Reister
(42:19):
going to be in for Petros who was out at
Mountain West Media Football Talk Tomorrow, Football Talk Tomorrow, no
doubt about it. Dodgers Brewers on Friday from the gallupin
Motors Broadcast booth. But worthy of discussion here. We got
into it a little bit earlier this hour. Are actually
early in the four o'clock hour down but following the
(42:42):
addition of Bradley Beal just kind of put together the
top five. You know, you're starting fives and your impact
players off the bench. And I think the one thing
that may be because I hear people talking about, oh,
the Clippers and how they had Beel to go with Jones,
Leonard Zoubs and Harden and the Thunder, or I should
(43:05):
say the Lakers get DeAndre Ayton a legitimate center. It
was the one thing they desperately needed. And don't forget,
this was the three seed last year. This was a
this was a it's okay, this was the three seed
last year. But then I looked at the Thunder and
I'm like, is that kind of part of the calculus
(43:28):
with the Clippers, Like, you know what, We're just we're
gonna ride this thing out for two years because there's
no sense trying to rebuild, right now have no draft
picks that well, they have no draft picks. I just
mean like in terms of, oh, we should trade and
get a little bit younger and try to kind of
the thunder are a freaking buzz saw, and they are
going to be a buzz saw, and the best shot
(43:48):
you're gonna have at them is just hoping that these
guys are healthy and you've got these MVPs and veterans
that can take it to them.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Well, Kawhi coming off being healthy for the first time
in a while, have the off season not rehabbing, working
out and getting ready for next year. But I'm telling you,
I really, really
