Talk like I want to make sure I know what

Speaker 4 (01:40):
I was just trying to like say, hey, yeah, I

to the NFL.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Well what does that have to do with anything? I
mean tonight tonight, Yeah, make you feel better about three

worry about the three hours tomorrow that starts at two.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
That's a good point. It's not like they're snipping us
to two hours as they will on Monday. We do
have a full three and a half. Petros and money.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
No, I'm sorry, Matt. I was watching it was Western
and I heard you say it's Thursday, and I was like,
I thought it was Wednesday. And then I got confused
because if it's Thursday. I missed my conference call with
Wyoming football, and that can't happen. I need to talk
to those pokes before they're thinking about it. Out west
to Arizona.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I means, you got you got Wyoming Fresno, And I
was thinking, you know, the Chiefs are on a buy
and you've called games at Texas Tech.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yes, I know what. I've been to Lubbock a couple
of times.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
You know what Lubbock looks like. I didn't. You know?
They obviously they got one dude, This one guy that
played football there that became I think. I don't know
if it was natural gas or if it was oil,
but you know, he's worth a few billion dollars and
he cut a big check. And that guy Patrick Mahomes
all excited. So Mahomes, who's worth a half a billion dollars,
cut a big check and he's now at their games
(02:54):
and part of their recruiting efforts.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
It seems to happen more often than not at even
the smallest Texas schools. So I was, and high schools
as well.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
And yes, you're right, it is Texas, so you have
the built in you know, your parents can drive there,
even though Texas is a gigantic state, Texas Tech. It's
not a West West.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Texas is pretty pretty hardcore as far as flat and desolate.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Right, But and that's it's kind of where I'm going. Yes,
if they could, if they could do it in Lubbock,
if they could make arguably the best, the second best,
the third best team in college football through six or
seven weeks with all this money and celebrity in Patrick
Mahomes pulling kids out there. Sure, Wyoming certainly has natural resources.
(03:52):
You certainly got people out there in the energy sector,
mostly natural gas. Could you find, oh a f of
the Pokes to combine with Josh.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Allen and give them a bunch of money.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
And turn Wyoming Like, if Wyoming could be turned into
a college football powerhouse.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Well, who's trying to become a college football powerhouse at
the Group of four level or whatever it's called now,
would be Texas State is a very interesting thing. And
I can answer it seriously or not seriously.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Oh, I'm being serious. I think that, Well, you can
do it in Lubbock, why can't you do it in Laramie.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Well, Wyoming Laradie as they call it, is a lot
like Lubbock, in that way, I think the weather is
probably fifty to seventy to maybe one hundred percent more severe.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Yes, it is incredibly cool and.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
The wind blows hard. In fact, Craig Bowl, the old
Wyoming coach, told me if the wind ever stopped blowing
in Wyoming, everybody would fall over because they are leading
into the wind constantly. So I think even though Lubbock
is desolate, it's like a thirty minute flight from Dallas,
and a lot of people commute on that flight, believe
(05:12):
it or not. I know Cliff Kingsbury did a whole
bunch when he was the Texas Tech coach. So I
think population wise, I think weather wise. I mean, Wyoming
is the least populated state. Oh yeah, in the Union.
So the two senators no, but I mean constitution whatever
(05:35):
it is, geez. But I would say that that's part
of it. That's a big part of it. Lovett, Texas
is even more. Wyoming is so desolate it makes Loubbott
Lubbock look like a metropolis. But College Station is not
exactly Helsinki. No, And they've had the most money of
(05:58):
anybody for many, many years, and it hasn't really translated
to success on the field Texas A and M is
very respectable, but they certainly don't stack championships. They haven't
won one in my memory in college football, not in
modern times. And they've had more money than anybody. Now
this year they're undefeated, I think right.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
And number two team in the nation.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I believe they're Yeah, so this year they look great.
And Texas Tech, it's one thing to throw money at something.
It's another thing to have money and know what to
do with it and build a football team. And that's
what they have with Joey Maguire, who's a pretty good
coach and a really likable guy since I've gotten to
(06:44):
know him over the years. He did fire our friend
Tim Deruder.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
The son of a bitch.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
They hired Shiah Wood for a whole and you know what,
it's not just players. I was talking to Willie Fritz,
the Houston coach, and he Houston's got some money now
as well, but not as much as Texas Tech. And
I was like, what happened to your defensive coordinator from
last year? He's like, what do you think? Texas Tech
hired them away. I gave him two million dollars and
(07:13):
they paid his buy out here. So there is a
lot of money being thrown around. You want like a
Kevin Costner from Yellowstone type of character.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Like rancher or a natural gas magnate to pair with
Josh Allen and tap in to what Patrick Mahomes is doing.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Wanted to be Laramie, Laradie. I would want a guy
with a horsehead to be the guy like the BoJack Horseman,
right like I'm giving me my money.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yeah, well, I got the ranches. You know, you got
the wild horses out there.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I don't know why Tim Kats isn't freaking out right
now and playing the Yellowstone feme. He's probably just drooling
thinking about Wyoming. But I will say this, I haven't
talked to the Wyoming coaches yet. I'll talk to him tomorrow.
But I was watching a Wyoming press conference and I
do like their head coach, Jay Savel. I think he's
a really good guy. But I was watching their press conference,
(08:14):
and you know how they do press conferences in front
of like a backdrop with with sponsorship on it. Everybody,
even if you're on the road. They do it.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Now.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
The Wyoming press conference backdrop is like for the lottery
in Wyoming, and it has two six shooters pointing upwards.
Oh yeah, Like you wouldn't often have like a firearm
in your right behind the head coach of the college
football team. But that's how they do it in Wyoming.
Let's go Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
I'm looking at the richest people in Wyoming, and I
think it's those that spend their summers in the solitude.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
It is a place like it's like Kanye West.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
It's John Mars, who is the Mars Incorporated, you know
the candy company air at forty one billion. It's Christy Walton,
who's worth twenty one billion. So I think like the
Ricketts family, I know, is trying to run rough shot
over one of the most beautiful spots there and building
a bunch of luxury hotels, but the locals aren't allowing it.
So I think it's a matter of are there any local,
(09:15):
you know, true Wyoming with the head of a horse,
right that would be able to like.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
A guy with giant buck deer antlers on his head.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
There you go, exactly right, Matt. You just described the
TV show Yellowstone in like three seconds. The Ricketts family
tried to buy a beautiful land and put condos there.
That's what like the first three seasons of Yellow Seas.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
I'm not gonna let you do it, Rickets, you bum well,
how does.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
That help Wyoming football? That's what we want to go.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
That's what we want to know. Can Josh Allen help
us out here?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
A couple interesting angles just to finish up the Wyoming
Blubbock College station portion of the show of the show.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Oh, we can do national radio people, we can do
it all day. We'll talk laterally today, Toma the next day.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Texas State the Bobcats. They are confirmed as the eighth
team in the new PAC twelve. So Texas State has
that going for him with the money they're thrown around,
and that's something that Sacramento State the Hernets could not
do with their very ambitious new president. And one angle
for the Wyoming Fresno State game on Saturday night is
(10:23):
Wyoming alum who could team up with the horsehead BoJack
horseman Donor and be like Patrick Mahomes with the natural
gas guy. Josh Allen is from a farm in the
greater Fresno area, and.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
So he can get a little Yellowstone vibe going.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I don't know, well, Josh Allen's from Fresno and Wyoming's
playing in Fresno this game, right, so that's that is
something interesting. And then Fresno and Wyoming since everybody's so
into that game that I'm calling. He's interesting because Wyoming's
old co coach comes from the world of Mount Union
(11:04):
and North Dakota State and guys like that he coaches with.
He coached with Craig Bowle, who's the old North Dakota
State coach who won all those titles.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Is that the guy the wife that was a disc jockey.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That was Boll. Yeah, and Boll's son is still the
decordinator at Wyoming, This guy Jay Savel And then the
head coach at Fresno who was at USC last year
is Matt Ends, who is the old North Dakota State
coach who also won a title there. And we're listening
(11:38):
to a little yellowstone there. Ense and Wyoming. They have
very similar philosophies, taking each other on secrets in the
dirt type of physical programs, if you will. Matt, As
we brought this up.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
I did know, but I'm gonna I'm gonna bring it
back to the local angle. As we've been talking through this,
I think I'm not kidding. I think maybe I just
figured it out here we go.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Do you think that I'm like, Wow, I wonder what
he's gonna say.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Yes, yes, I do, because I legitimately believe we might
be able to pull this off. Because he's a friend
of yours. I know him a little bit, hung out
with him for a while. He's a wonderful person with him.
The Lakers just sold for a ten billion dollar valuation. Okay,
Joey buss is a billionaire. Yes, he is no longer
(12:32):
working for the Lakers. He loves sports. He can think
about buying a women's soccer team, with the men's soccer
team or a G League team.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
He was too rich to live across the street from
me when he did live across the street for me,
But then he won't. He bought an even bigger house
with a vineyard in the front.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
How about this, Joey, your old man's alma mater, arguably
the most famous alumnus of the University of Wyoming, Jerry
buss On, your dad's legacy pair with Josh Allen turn
the Pokes into a college football powerhouse.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Well, there never used to be. There, never used to
be direct flights to Laramie until Joey Buss gave all
this money to the University of Wyoming and it became
a huge testation.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
You can be a pipeline from the California kids to Laramie.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
You can.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
You can pair with Josh Allen, a superstar in the
world of the NFL. And now you guys are doing
business together, and who knows what other ventures you could
get into.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Well, let me call Joey and see if we canna
hook up with j sovel from Wyoming. And right, I'll
be like the middleman. Is there a finders fee for me?
Speaker 4 (13:49):
I mean, listen, this is just this is just by
the grace of our heart. This is good grace from
the petros in Money show to point you a wayward ship.
Joey Buss, Where is my port? Where shall I doc?
I am a drift at sea? We found it. It
is the port known as Laramie, Wyoming is where your
(14:11):
sport prowess can take hold.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It's not a bad idea, actually, now, I was if
my life was somehow deeply invested on the success or
at least the nil success of Wyoming football. This is
a call I would make almost immediately, right, But I
don't think our friends at Fresno State would be thrilled
if I was fundraising for Wyoming while I'm calling a
(14:35):
Freendsno Wyoming, I mean have to be an off season venture.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
I mean Tim Kaates has gone six to midnight. We're
doing petros and money, you know, on location for four
months a year from one irony.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
But what I understand about Laradise I'm in, Matt. Yeah,
I mean it's not the same as the Wyoming that
all the billionaires living. Right Laramie's like the flat on
your way to the planes part of Wyoming, as opposed
to the yellow stockson Hill Jackson and all those different
(15:08):
the Grand Titans. Yeah, all those different things. And I
have been to the Grand Tetons. My father took me
when I was a young man.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
They're such great looking teats.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I saw a moose walking between the teats. I'll never
forget it. So anyway, I don't know, Matt. It certainly
is a connection, and you did find somebody worth a
lot of money that could potentially give it to the
University of Wyoming. Although I believe Joey Bass is a
le Moux guy or a usc guy.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Or boring, right, just boring. It's like no that they're
not going to appreciate you. Joey can you can. It's
not even resurrect, it is create, literally create a powerhouse
like Kurt Signetti did at Indiana, a dormant football program
for the last sixty years, if not longer. I mean
(16:01):
they weren't much before that, but that's the last time
they had any semblance of success. And now look at
what the folks in Bloomington and the entire state and
their entire alumni base is doing. Now the guy is
you know, he will live on in perpetuity as the
savior of that football program. That can be Joey Buss
for Wyoming football, Well, it.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Could be Joey Buss for anybody. Right, What if he
just decides that, you know, he doesn't care about Wyoming
and he didn't know about his father's legacy at Wyoming
that much and doesn't matter to him as much. But
he loves Pullman, and he wants to have his house
in court Aline, and he wants to become a hero,
a walking legend on the polouse at Washington State. Very fair,
(16:42):
become their guy. He could become at Oregon State. He
could really the world is his oyster? Yes, Tim we all.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Know Genie is the matriarch of the Bus family right
now at her admiration for her late father, doctor Jerry Buss.
If you can get Genie involved, and I think the
way to really turn Genie into this obviously the financial
aspect of it. But you know, husband Jay Moore can
perform at the Cowboys Saloon whenever he wants, well, comedy
there I do appreciate, But Saturday night, six thirty doors open.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
I do think that would probably lead Joey to no
longer want to be part of it. Oh would be uh.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Well, Joey did go to USC and he was a
business administration major, and he could have funded that extra
number eighty Jersey that Sam hure bo. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Here's the thing about doing the wyoming thing though, Bee,
Now you're hot, you and you and the missus and
the kids and Hailey Steinfeldt's pregnant. Now I believe right,
you're hob nobbin with super celebrity couple Josh Allen and
Hailey steinfeld Like those are your BFFs now.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
I mean, how much does he go to Laramie? I don't.
I don't know, and I do a lot of mountain West,
and I don't remember the last time. I mean, it's
not to say that he wasn't there, but I will
say this, Matt, to give a serious answer. It's not
just money that makes a program good. You have to
have and maybe a lack of money sometimes doesn't make
(18:10):
it bad. You have to have. And this truly is
the case. And we see it at USC we see
it at UCLA locally right in our faces. That's the
way to bring a back local right there?
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Oh yeah, right there.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
You got to have a university president or chancellor or whatever.
You got to have an ad and you got to
have a head coach that are all on the same
page and all totally and completely committed to having a
successful football program. And if you don't have all the
like Oklahoma's had that for many years, right, If you
don't have all three of those things and everybody pushing
(18:44):
this and the SEC has that in spades. If you
don't have all those three things pulling the oars the
same way, it's hard to have sustained success. Like maybe
Indiana had one part but not another part. They certainly
had the funding, but now that they have signetti, they
can all get on the same page. And laser focus.
(19:06):
I remember back when we used to bring on Gary
Barnett and he said something so interesting about his time. Now,
of course, college football's changed a lot from when we
had the interview with Gary, but we asked him about
Northwestern and Colorado and the differences between those two places,
as he was the head coach at both, and he said,
at Northwestern we had a ton of money but very
(19:27):
little support, and at Colorado we had nothing but support
and no money. So it is interesting the way that
college places are built and the way that they have
success or don't have success. But I am all for
Wyoming becoming a powerhouse. I want to see everybody in
(19:49):
Brown and.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Gold done right, and it starts with you, Joey Buss.
You want that billion dollars is burning a hole in
your pocket and you want to know where to place it. Well,
let's connect to you with old number seventeen out there
in western New York and the two you can meet
in the middle Laramie, Wyoming.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Just imagine Joey and his beautiful wife Nikki or Nicholes.
He's been kidding me sitting down at the saloon listening
to this song Beautiful, what a great idea.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Matt, It's just the things we do here at the
Petro some money show you. I'm exp talking about one
thing and you find yourself maybe changing the fortunes of
a group of four program for all eternity.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
I'll expect to call for the Governor Wyoming any moment.
If I have to jump off the air, you'll know why.
We'll be right back with the great James Worthy.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Make AM five seventy or your favorite AM five seventy
LA Sports podcast a preset on the iheartradiop.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Trip all summer with LA Sports Thattro some Money, AM
five seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on the iheartradiop. Going
to basketball tonight Clips versus Nuggets. Remember Saturday, we got
that big double header Oklahoma Alabama, Texas v. Georgia and
then Sunday Chargers versus Jaguars. A lot of play by
play all weekend long. A lot of reason to be
(21:16):
excited here in town, usc, Iowa for homecoming, and perhaps
one of the biggest reasons Pee Courtesy of the twenty
twenty six Ford f one point fifty from California's best
selling truck brand. It is time to see Ford and
a new lie. James Worthy talking about the clinic that
Luka Doncic is putting on right now as he joins.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Us, Joining us right now as you hear that avant
garde jazz music. A soulful and deep thinking man, a
great competitor in his time, and still really puts it down.
It looks great on Spectrum Sportsnet. The Lakers almost look
(21:58):
as good as James Worthy looks. Okay, see looks pretty
good too. They're playing tonight. Our hero James Worthy in
the house, joining us once again on the Pettersen Money Show.
And it's always a privilege and a pleasure. What's cragging, James?
How are you?
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Oh? What's the family? I'll be doing?
Speaker 3 (22:18):
We're doing okay, We're doing okay. It did overall, it's
been a lot of fun to watch the Lakers as
the season has started, James. But but before we get
into them, how good is okay? See? I mean they've
only lost one game. It seems like they're not slowing
down at all after winning the title last year. Did
(22:39):
you guys ever come out like that after winning a title.
You know, you go twelve straight or something.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
You know, once you once you've tasted that honey of
a championship, you're just eager. I mean, you don't you
don't want anything left in that. You don't you don't
come back the next year and say, oh, well we
wanted last year, so you know we've it'll be okay
if we don't win this year. You want that back
to back. That's the standard. Back to back, and then
(23:06):
the trifecta would be something that they will be seeking too,
because I guarantee you those young players are looking at
the Kobe era and looking at you know, the San Antonio,
small market city that won five championships, and they have
the talent, they have the draft picks, they're set up perfect.
(23:27):
So yeah, they're they're to me, I think they're just
as desperate as they were last year because they want
they want to show that it wasn't a fluke and
that there can can win back to back. That's the
standard that's been set out.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
There, and it's crazy they're doing it without Jalen Williams.
They're arguably second best or third best player. But just
kind of sticking with the thunder James and how easy
it looked for them last year and how easy it's
I mean their only loss was a fluke to the Blazers.
But again even without Jalen Williams. Is it the home
grin thing, the home grin heart and style like they do?
(24:03):
People just not have the other teams not have the size?
Is it that Shay? Is that good?
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Like?
Speaker 4 (24:07):
What is it that makes them this good and such
prohibitive favorites to win this thing? Again?
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Well, they have efficient players in every position? Okay? So
and the thing is that they have great players. There
are a lot of teams that have great players, like
us have great players, you know, to o the state.
There are other teams Minnesota, you know, but they don't
(24:35):
have the system in place that benefits their players. And
it's a hell of a commitment, you know, you have
to really commit and it takes a lot of like
monitor team of one another and like trusting the system.
And you can tell that they have done that. You know,
they believe in what the coach has put out there.
(24:56):
They've had downfalls, but they still believed in it and
they're right it. Last year, I mean last season is
dominant and they're picking up on that they're not going
to stop. They see it doesn't matter Jaalen Williams out,
they pop in another guy. He might not be is
if you know, efficient, might not scores more, but still
the system it works. And so when you have a
(25:18):
team like that that thinks like that and they have
a great leader in Shay and other players who are
just as dominant you know throughout the games. Uh, that's
what's hard to be. Not so much the players. I mean,
the players are great, but the system that they have
and the way they run their offense and the way
they descend. You know, that's a lot of people look
(25:39):
at their offense, but you don't. You don't do what
they're doing unless you defend, especially down the stretch in
the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
James, what is if there's one key to why the
Lakers are succeeding and Lebron has not played, is it
the ball is moving more? Is it defense? What? What?
What would you say if they you had one reason
to give for the Lakers' success early this season when
the lineup has been not very stable, I'll.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Give you one in one A one is JJ Reddick.
Don't take no mess. That lost in Atlanta was so
upsetting to him. And you know coaches sometimes they loved
it when when when they're when when when when their
team gives them something to you know, kind of go
off on them. So he's a really good communicator.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Doing doing timeouts and.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Thinking on his feet. The other thing is the guys
they believe in it. They believe they know their roles.
I'm not putting them in the same category as Oklahoma,
but understanding the system and understanding, you know, what your
role is, and everybody committed to it. Hayden committed to
his role. I mean, Ruey has stepped up, you know,
and understand what he needs to do. We got guys
(26:54):
coming off the bench who who kind of understand Hayes
put on fifteen pounds, he's strong, and you know, we
got seven steals from Marcus Smart. That's a huge, you
know advantage having a guy on a team that's been
there and knows how to. I mean, he hasn't won
a championship, but he's been in the in the teeth,
(27:15):
you know, the den so uh and and you know
it's the way they communicate. And then you got Luca
who's like phenomenal, Like he's like magic Johnson or John
Stockton or Jason Kidd. He makes everybody around him better.
He probably has done it better than you know. I mean,
I played with Magic and I don't think anybody's done
(27:36):
it better than Magic. But Luca's He's he's close.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Yeah. The if there's one thing, James that that looks like, okay,
is this going to be a problem, it'd be three
point shooting. And I think a lot of it is
that Luca hasn't quite found that rhythm. He's shooting low thirties.
As a team, they're shooting low thirties. Really only Ruy
is the one that's that's connecting at a clip. You know,
you'd like to see that high thirties, you know, thirty eight,
(28:00):
thirty nine, maybe even if you can sniff a forty
for a couple of these guys. Or is it a
case of maybe this just isn't really a three point
shooting team with how good Luca is with the ball
at finding easy baskets, just is that a possibility? Or
do you think it's something that they're going to have
to figure out, you know, come playoff time. We got
to find some shooters and we've got to be able
(28:21):
to make those open threes.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Yeah, I think they you know, they they hit them
on occasion like they hit them like what I've seen,
like really a hit up bigly when they need one.
You know, Reeves a hit one when they need it.
But you know, you do want as a team, you
want that threat to be you know, damn near close
to forty percent, you know, and you want that to
(28:45):
be a stat that everybody sees so that they can't
you know, cheat off of players and you know leave
you know, players that have to stay close to home.
But with Luca, you know, and and you know Reeves
as well, and and Lebron coming back another ball handler,
you know, it has to get better because you're going
(29:06):
to be getting a lot of open threes, which you
got three ball handlers who who can break down and
collapse defenses any moment of the game. I'm sure it's
something that analytically that the Kochi staff is paying attention to.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
The one and only James Worthy. We have him on
every Wednesday on the Petrosen Money Show, and it is
the best. You know what it's like for a guy
to become a big star on a team that has
other stars. I mean, you were a star on a
team of stars, and Austin Reeves is becoming a star.
I mean he's averaging thirty points a game. He says
(29:42):
he wants to remain a Laker. I'm sure his agent
wants that extra ten million dollars or something that he
could get if Reeves signed somewhere else. How do you
think this is going to play out, James, if you
had to.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Guess, Well, for what I hear, you know he wants
to I mean ELI like Los Angeles. You know, I
think I think we got a bonus because you can
play golf year round here and he's a big golfer,
so hopefully that that would be one advantage. Uh. But
but you know, I think he wants to build Laker.
I think the Lakers want him to remain the Laker
(30:14):
he is. You know. Uh, he's emerged as a guy
that you can depend on whether you label him as
a megastar like like like uh like Luca Doncs or
somebody like that, or whether you just he's just a threat. Uh,
he's he's he's he's a star, and everybody's gonna want
to take a look at getting him. But I think uh,
(30:37):
and a lot of it depends on you know, how
the season, how the season ends. You know, if the
Lakers go far and deep and you know, mess around
and you know, win a championship, then you've got you
got something to build on. And I think that that
will be something that they want to. You know, they've
had their Caruso moments. They've you know, they've made some
some some trades for a d and and send out
(31:00):
some players who who have really risen and have played
well elsewhere. So I think we'd be interested in keeping
upcoming star or already a star in my book, with
that age and years left, you want that player here.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
It looks like Lebron is coming back soon. James. We
didn't even mention him last time we talked to you.
How much does this all change when Lebron comes back.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
I just think it's cool that, you know, the South
Bay the Lakers got to be so you know, you know,
just they just crazy excited to have Lebron come and
throw down with them in practice. But you know, look,
I think Lebron only knows how to be Lebron. You know,
megastars and guys who dominate games. You know, that's what
(31:49):
they do. But I also think he's wise enough. You
know this, he's looking at this team and seeing you know,
he's seeing Ayton coming along as a as a pretty
good center so far with a backup with Jackson Hayes,
who's a lob threat and you know he's a back
good backup center. He's seeing what Luca's doing and reeves
(32:10):
and if really continues to emerge, you know, we get
Gay back healthy. You know, Van de belts a threat
on defense. You know, he can kick and choose and
do what he wants to do. If he wants to
come back and dominate. You know, it's going to be
less shots for some other people. He could come back
and just say, hey, I'm going to play a role
where I'm gonna you know, plug game where I'm needed.
(32:32):
He's seeing this team is doing pretty good, you know,
so I think he's going to do what wasn't necessary
in his twenty third year and also to preserve, you know,
preserve himself as much as he can so that when
they get down the stretch, you know, he could you know,
beat to Lebron that we're used to seeing last one.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
For you, James always love getting in the in the
the time machine and asking what it was like when
you were doing it. But you mentioned the they get
blown out in Atlanta. They're on this long, roady week long.
When you consider travel days, eight days Atlanta, Charlotte, OKCEE tonight,
then New Orleans, Milwaukee. It's a little bit different for
(33:13):
NBA players because you guys are tall, and you know,
you're easily recognizable because you're cruising around at six six
or six eight. When you were on the road, did
you go out, did you stay in the hotel? Did
you want to explore the city. What was the James
Worthy approach to a five or seven game road trip.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
Well, I mean you couldn't hide. You know, we're flying,
we're flying commercial. So imagine you know, Maggie Johnson with
a fur coat going to the CSA and you know Kareem,
you know, and then you know you might see another team.
You might see our two NBA teams in the airport, Artists, Gilmore,
some other guys. Right, But you know we went out
(33:56):
with no bodyguards. I mean, Magic loved going to the movie.
You know, we'd go eat, you know, we you know
it'd be like six of us. We just we just
did it.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Man.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
It wasn't no social media. It was a little different,
of course. Yeah, and but nobody really bothered you. They'd
see us out, you know, they recognize us, but we
just kept walking, went out to eat. You know. We
we we've lived kind of a normal life and try
to enjoy the cities that we like Seattle, New York.
And so yeah, we were we were out and about
and you know, so it wasn't like today. We didn't
(34:28):
have any bodyguards and a lot of times we just
you know, you know, tag down a taxi and you know,
get it, get her done.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
Tell you I sit in that movie theater and James Worthy,
Magic Johnson and Kareem sitting in front of me, and
I'm like, what the hell am I supposed to just
stay a movie now?
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Thanks to Stand Up n Everywhere.

You just asked James Worthy about going to the movies

This last scene will determine whether he gets the girl
or not. I do a Matt and there's a lot
of obviousness if Magic is going to talk during the movie,
(38:04):
I do this, says hey pee. I'm a very regular listener.
And also I visit my eighty nine year old dad
in Germany several times a year. Thank God for the
podcasts so I can get some normalcy while i'm here.
Tuesday's Dead Alive guy was sweet. So there you go.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Thank you. That's I think many times a year. That's something.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Though, yeah, several severally said so three times. That's still
a lot a lot of times to go to Germany
unless you're an international traveler type like me. Right, you know,
I get it. I was just in Iceland, hey pe
last night. I told my wife that I wanted my
dinner boomshaka laka like right now, and I did not
(38:53):
get dinner. Well, come on, sir, you can't now. We
can't all talk like that cool guy at Belmont Shore.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
That was awesome boom shota loca right now. Right now.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
As you know, Belmont Shore has had some violence something
that saw boom shocky lock I it right.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
Now, so and I believe that that that just was.
We just heard it in our KFI news update.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
Yes, Matt, we'll have it for the word of the day.
There's some follow up reports going on in Belmont Shore
on my street all the time, and they're always These
aren't beer people, these are shots and vodkas and something
that saw Boom shocky lock I it right now. So
it's bumping off in Long Beach, Matt, and we will
have the latest. I can't believe they cut those two
(39:39):
hours out of drinking time. I can't believe it. This
is about our power lunch coming up on Monday at
the Bjay's Restaurant in brew House at Irvine, and we
got prizes to give away and all that, and it says,
I don't think you understand your listener base very well.
P How are a bunch of bag boys and burger
flippers going to explain to their man manager that they
(40:01):

stuff other people don't like. But how dare you, sir,
say that out of your filthy face? Makes me sick?
Speaker 4 (40:44):
Matt sick.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
I don't understand our audience. I mean, we do like

to the NFL.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Well what does that have to do with anything? I
mean tonight tonight, Yeah, make you feel better about three

worry about the three hours tomorrow that starts at two.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
That's a good point. It's not like they're snipping us
to two hours as they will on Monday. We do
have a full three and a half. Petros and money.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
No, I'm sorry, Matt. I was watching it was Western
and I heard you say it's Thursday, and I was like,
I thought it was Wednesday. And then I got confused
because if it's Thursday. I missed my conference call with
Wyoming football, and that can't happen. I need to talk
to those pokes before they're thinking about it. Out west
to Arizona.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I means, you got you got Wyoming Fresno, And I
was thinking, you know, the Chiefs are on a buy
and you've called games at Texas Tech.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yes, I know what. I've been to Lubbock a couple
of times.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
You know what Lubbock looks like. I didn't. You know?
They obviously they got one dude, This one guy that
played football there that became I think. I don't know
if it was natural gas or if it was oil,
but you know, he's worth a few billion dollars and
he cut a big check. And that guy Patrick Mahomes
all excited. So Mahomes, who's worth a half a billion dollars,
cut a big check and he's now at their games
(02:54):
and part of their recruiting efforts.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
It seems to happen more often than not at even
the smallest Texas schools. So I was, and high schools
as well.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
And yes, you're right, it is Texas, so you have
the built in you know, your parents can drive there,
even though Texas is a gigantic state, Texas Tech. It's
not a West West.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Texas is pretty pretty hardcore as far as flat and desolate.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Right, But and that's it's kind of where I'm going. Yes,
if they could, if they could do it in Lubbock,
if they could make arguably the best, the second best,
the third best team in college football through six or
seven weeks with all this money and celebrity in Patrick
Mahomes pulling kids out there. Sure, Wyoming certainly has natural resources.
(03:52):
You certainly got people out there in the energy sector,
mostly natural gas. Could you find, oh a f of
the Pokes to combine with Josh.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Allen and give them a bunch of money.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
And turn Wyoming Like, if Wyoming could be turned into
a college football powerhouse.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Well, who's trying to become a college football powerhouse at
the Group of four level or whatever it's called now,
would be Texas State is a very interesting thing. And
I can answer it seriously or not seriously.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Oh, I'm being serious. I think that, Well, you can
do it in Lubbock, why can't you do it in Laramie.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Well, Wyoming Laradie as they call it, is a lot
like Lubbock, in that way, I think the weather is
probably fifty to seventy to maybe one hundred percent more severe.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Yes, it is incredibly cool and.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
The wind blows hard. In fact, Craig Bowl, the old
Wyoming coach, told me if the wind ever stopped blowing
in Wyoming, everybody would fall over because they are leading
into the wind constantly. So I think even though Lubbock
is desolate, it's like a thirty minute flight from Dallas,
and a lot of people commute on that flight, believe
(05:12):
it or not. I know Cliff Kingsbury did a whole
bunch when he was the Texas Tech coach. So I
think population wise, I think weather wise. I mean, Wyoming
is the least populated state. Oh yeah, in the Union.
So the two senators no, but I mean constitution whatever
(05:35):
it is, geez. But I would say that that's part
of it. That's a big part of it. Lovett, Texas
is even more. Wyoming is so desolate it makes Loubbott
Lubbock look like a metropolis. But College Station is not
exactly Helsinki. No, And they've had the most money of
(05:58):
anybody for many, many years, and it hasn't really translated
to success on the field Texas A and M is
very respectable, but they certainly don't stack championships. They haven't
won one in my memory in college football, not in
modern times. And they've had more money than anybody. Now
this year they're undefeated, I think right.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
And number two team in the nation.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I believe they're Yeah, so this year they look great.
And Texas Tech, it's one thing to throw money at something.
It's another thing to have money and know what to
do with it and build a football team. And that's
what they have with Joey Maguire, who's a pretty good
coach and a really likable guy since I've gotten to
(06:44):
know him over the years. He did fire our friend
Tim Deruder.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
The son of a bitch.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
They hired Shiah Wood for a whole and you know what,
it's not just players. I was talking to Willie Fritz,
the Houston coach, and he Houston's got some money now
as well, but not as much as Texas Tech. And
I was like, what happened to your defensive coordinator from
last year? He's like, what do you think? Texas Tech
hired them away. I gave him two million dollars and
(07:13):
they paid his buy out here. So there is a
lot of money being thrown around. You want like a
Kevin Costner from Yellowstone type of character.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Like rancher or a natural gas magnate to pair with
Josh Allen and tap in to what Patrick Mahomes is doing.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Wanted to be Laramie, Laradie. I would want a guy
with a horsehead to be the guy like the BoJack Horseman,
right like I'm giving me my money.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yeah, well, I got the ranches. You know, you got
the wild horses out there.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I don't know why Tim Kats isn't freaking out right
now and playing the Yellowstone feme. He's probably just drooling
thinking about Wyoming. But I will say this, I haven't
talked to the Wyoming coaches yet. I'll talk to him tomorrow.
But I was watching a Wyoming press conference and I
do like their head coach, Jay Savel. I think he's
a really good guy. But I was watching their press conference,
(08:14):
and you know how they do press conferences in front
of like a backdrop with with sponsorship on it. Everybody,
even if you're on the road. They do it.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Now.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
The Wyoming press conference backdrop is like for the lottery
in Wyoming, and it has two six shooters pointing upwards.
Oh yeah, Like you wouldn't often have like a firearm
in your right behind the head coach of the college
football team. But that's how they do it in Wyoming.
Let's go Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
I'm looking at the richest people in Wyoming, and I
think it's those that spend their summers in the solitude.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
It is a place like it's like Kanye West.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
It's John Mars, who is the Mars Incorporated, you know
the candy company air at forty one billion. It's Christy Walton,
who's worth twenty one billion. So I think like the
Ricketts family, I know, is trying to run rough shot
over one of the most beautiful spots there and building
a bunch of luxury hotels, but the locals aren't allowing it.
So I think it's a matter of are there any local,
(09:15):
you know, true Wyoming with the head of a horse,
right that would be able to like.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
A guy with giant buck deer antlers on his head.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
There you go, exactly right, Matt. You just described the
TV show Yellowstone in like three seconds. The Ricketts family
tried to buy a beautiful land and put condos there.
That's what like the first three seasons of Yellow Seas.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
I'm not gonna let you do it, Rickets, you bum well,
how does.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
That help Wyoming football? That's what we want to go.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
That's what we want to know. Can Josh Allen help
us out here?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
A couple interesting angles just to finish up the Wyoming
Blubbock College station portion of the show of the show.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Oh, we can do national radio people, we can do
it all day. We'll talk laterally today, Toma the next day.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Texas State the Bobcats. They are confirmed as the eighth
team in the new PAC twelve. So Texas State has
that going for him with the money they're thrown around,
and that's something that Sacramento State the Hernets could not
do with their very ambitious new president. And one angle
for the Wyoming Fresno State game on Saturday night is
(10:23):
Wyoming alum who could team up with the horsehead BoJack
horseman Donor and be like Patrick Mahomes with the natural
gas guy. Josh Allen is from a farm in the
greater Fresno area, and.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
So he can get a little Yellowstone vibe going.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I don't know, well, Josh Allen's from Fresno and Wyoming's
playing in Fresno this game, right, so that's that is
something interesting. And then Fresno and Wyoming since everybody's so
into that game that I'm calling. He's interesting because Wyoming's
old co coach comes from the world of Mount Union
(11:04):
and North Dakota State and guys like that he coaches with.
He coached with Craig Bowle, who's the old North Dakota
State coach who won all those titles.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Is that the guy the wife that was a disc jockey.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That was Boll. Yeah, and Boll's son is still the
decordinator at Wyoming, This guy Jay Savel And then the
head coach at Fresno who was at USC last year
is Matt Ends, who is the old North Dakota State
coach who also won a title there. And we're listening
(11:38):
to a little yellowstone there. Ense and Wyoming. They have
very similar philosophies, taking each other on secrets in the
dirt type of physical programs, if you will. Matt, As
we brought this up.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
I did know, but I'm gonna I'm gonna bring it
back to the local angle. As we've been talking through this,
I think I'm not kidding. I think maybe I just
figured it out here we go.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Do you think that I'm like, Wow, I wonder what
he's gonna say.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Yes, yes, I do, because I legitimately believe we might
be able to pull this off. Because he's a friend
of yours. I know him a little bit, hung out
with him for a while. He's a wonderful person with him.
The Lakers just sold for a ten billion dollar valuation. Okay,
Joey buss is a billionaire. Yes, he is no longer
(12:32):
working for the Lakers. He loves sports. He can think
about buying a women's soccer team, with the men's soccer
team or a G League team.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
He was too rich to live across the street from
me when he did live across the street for me,
But then he won't. He bought an even bigger house
with a vineyard in the front.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
How about this, Joey, your old man's alma mater, arguably
the most famous alumnus of the University of Wyoming, Jerry
buss On, your dad's legacy pair with Josh Allen turn
the Pokes into a college football powerhouse.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Well, there never used to be. There, never used to
be direct flights to Laramie until Joey Buss gave all
this money to the University of Wyoming and it became
a huge testation.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
You can be a pipeline from the California kids to Laramie.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
You can.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
You can pair with Josh Allen, a superstar in the
world of the NFL. And now you guys are doing
business together, and who knows what other ventures you could
get into.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Well, let me call Joey and see if we canna
hook up with j sovel from Wyoming. And right, I'll
be like the middleman. Is there a finders fee for me?
Speaker 4 (13:49):
I mean, listen, this is just this is just by
the grace of our heart. This is good grace from
the petros in Money show to point you a wayward ship.
Joey Buss, Where is my port? Where shall I doc?
I am a drift at sea? We found it. It
is the port known as Laramie, Wyoming is where your
(14:11):
sport prowess can take hold.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It's not a bad idea, actually, now, I was if
my life was somehow deeply invested on the success or
at least the nil success of Wyoming football. This is
a call I would make almost immediately, right, But I
don't think our friends at Fresno State would be thrilled
if I was fundraising for Wyoming while I'm calling a
(14:35):
Freendsno Wyoming, I mean have to be an off season venture.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
I mean Tim Kaates has gone six to midnight. We're
doing petros and money, you know, on location for four
months a year from one irony.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
But what I understand about Laradise I'm in, Matt. Yeah,
I mean it's not the same as the Wyoming that
all the billionaires living. Right Laramie's like the flat on
your way to the planes part of Wyoming, as opposed
to the yellow stockson Hill Jackson and all those different
(15:08):
the Grand Titans. Yeah, all those different things. And I
have been to the Grand Tetons. My father took me
when I was a young man.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
They're such great looking teats.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I saw a moose walking between the teats. I'll never
forget it. So anyway, I don't know, Matt. It certainly
is a connection, and you did find somebody worth a
lot of money that could potentially give it to the
University of Wyoming. Although I believe Joey Bass is a
le Moux guy or a usc guy.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Or boring, right, just boring. It's like no that they're
not going to appreciate you. Joey can you can. It's
not even resurrect, it is create, literally create a powerhouse
like Kurt Signetti did at Indiana, a dormant football program
for the last sixty years, if not longer. I mean
(16:01):
they weren't much before that, but that's the last time
they had any semblance of success. And now look at
what the folks in Bloomington and the entire state and
their entire alumni base is doing. Now the guy is
you know, he will live on in perpetuity as the
savior of that football program. That can be Joey Buss
for Wyoming football, Well, it.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Could be Joey Buss for anybody. Right, What if he
just decides that, you know, he doesn't care about Wyoming
and he didn't know about his father's legacy at Wyoming
that much and doesn't matter to him as much. But
he loves Pullman, and he wants to have his house
in court Aline, and he wants to become a hero,
a walking legend on the polouse at Washington State. Very fair,
(16:42):
become their guy. He could become at Oregon State. He
could really the world is his oyster? Yes, Tim we all.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Know Genie is the matriarch of the Bus family right
now at her admiration for her late father, doctor Jerry Buss.
If you can get Genie involved, and I think the
way to really turn Genie into this obviously the financial
aspect of it. But you know, husband Jay Moore can
perform at the Cowboys Saloon whenever he wants, well, comedy
there I do appreciate, But Saturday night, six thirty doors open.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
I do think that would probably lead Joey to no
longer want to be part of it. Oh would be uh.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Well, Joey did go to USC and he was a
business administration major, and he could have funded that extra
number eighty Jersey that Sam hure bo. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Here's the thing about doing the wyoming thing though, Bee,
Now you're hot, you and you and the missus and
the kids and Hailey Steinfeldt's pregnant. Now I believe right,
you're hob nobbin with super celebrity couple Josh Allen and
Hailey steinfeld Like those are your BFFs now.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
I mean, how much does he go to Laramie? I don't.
I don't know, and I do a lot of mountain West,
and I don't remember the last time. I mean, it's
not to say that he wasn't there, but I will
say this, Matt, to give a serious answer. It's not
just money that makes a program good. You have to
have and maybe a lack of money sometimes doesn't make
(18:10):
it bad. You have to have. And this truly is
the case. And we see it at USC we see
it at UCLA locally right in our faces. That's the
way to bring a back local right there?
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Oh yeah, right there.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
You got to have a university president or chancellor or whatever.
You got to have an ad and you got to
have a head coach that are all on the same
page and all totally and completely committed to having a
successful football program. And if you don't have all the
like Oklahoma's had that for many years, right, If you
don't have all three of those things and everybody pushing
(18:44):
this and the SEC has that in spades. If you
don't have all those three things pulling the oars the
same way, it's hard to have sustained success. Like maybe
Indiana had one part but not another part. They certainly
had the funding, but now that they have signetti, they
can all get on the same page. And laser focus.
(19:06):
I remember back when we used to bring on Gary
Barnett and he said something so interesting about his time. Now,
of course, college football's changed a lot from when we
had the interview with Gary, but we asked him about
Northwestern and Colorado and the differences between those two places,
as he was the head coach at both, and he said,
at Northwestern we had a ton of money but very
(19:27):
little support, and at Colorado we had nothing but support
and no money. So it is interesting the way that
college places are built and the way that they have
success or don't have success. But I am all for
Wyoming becoming a powerhouse. I want to see everybody in
(19:49):
Brown and.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Gold done right, and it starts with you, Joey Buss.
You want that billion dollars is burning a hole in
your pocket and you want to know where to place it. Well,
let's connect to you with old number seventeen out there
in western New York and the two you can meet
in the middle Laramie, Wyoming.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Just imagine Joey and his beautiful wife Nikki or Nicholes.
He's been kidding me sitting down at the saloon listening
to this song Beautiful, what a great idea.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Matt, It's just the things we do here at the
Petro some money show you. I'm exp talking about one
thing and you find yourself maybe changing the fortunes of
a group of four program for all eternity.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
I'll expect to call for the Governor Wyoming any moment.
If I have to jump off the air, you'll know why.
We'll be right back with the great James Worthy.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Make AM five seventy or your favorite AM five seventy
LA Sports podcast a preset on the iheartradiop.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Trip all summer with LA Sports Thattro some Money, AM
five seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on the iheartradiop. Going
to basketball tonight Clips versus Nuggets. Remember Saturday, we got
that big double header Oklahoma Alabama, Texas v. Georgia and
then Sunday Chargers versus Jaguars. A lot of play by
play all weekend long. A lot of reason to be
(21:16):
excited here in town, usc, Iowa for homecoming, and perhaps
one of the biggest reasons Pee Courtesy of the twenty
twenty six Ford f one point fifty from California's best
selling truck brand. It is time to see Ford and
a new lie. James Worthy talking about the clinic that
Luka Doncic is putting on right now as he joins.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Us, Joining us right now as you hear that avant
garde jazz music. A soulful and deep thinking man, a
great competitor in his time, and still really puts it down.
It looks great on Spectrum Sportsnet. The Lakers almost look
(21:58):
as good as James Worthy looks. Okay, see looks pretty
good too. They're playing tonight. Our hero James Worthy in
the house, joining us once again on the Pettersen Money Show.
And it's always a privilege and a pleasure. What's cragging, James?
How are you?
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Oh? What's the family? I'll be doing?
Speaker 3 (22:18):
We're doing okay, We're doing okay. It did overall, it's
been a lot of fun to watch the Lakers as
the season has started, James. But but before we get
into them, how good is okay? See? I mean they've
only lost one game. It seems like they're not slowing
down at all after winning the title last year. Did
(22:39):
you guys ever come out like that after winning a title.
You know, you go twelve straight or something.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
You know, once you once you've tasted that honey of
a championship, you're just eager. I mean, you don't you
don't want anything left in that. You don't you don't
come back the next year and say, oh, well we
wanted last year, so you know we've it'll be okay
if we don't win this year. You want that back
to back. That's the standard. Back to back, and then
(23:06):
the trifecta would be something that they will be seeking too,
because I guarantee you those young players are looking at
the Kobe era and looking at you know, the San Antonio,
small market city that won five championships, and they have
the talent, they have the draft picks, they're set up perfect.
(23:27):
So yeah, they're they're to me, I think they're just
as desperate as they were last year because they want
they want to show that it wasn't a fluke and
that there can can win back to back. That's the
standard that's been set out.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
There, and it's crazy they're doing it without Jalen Williams.
They're arguably second best or third best player. But just
kind of sticking with the thunder James and how easy
it looked for them last year and how easy it's
I mean their only loss was a fluke to the Blazers.
But again even without Jalen Williams. Is it the home
grin thing, the home grin heart and style like they do?
(24:03):
People just not have the other teams not have the size?
Is it that Shay? Is that good?
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Like?
Speaker 4 (24:07):
What is it that makes them this good and such
prohibitive favorites to win this thing? Again?
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Well, they have efficient players in every position? Okay? So
and the thing is that they have great players. There
are a lot of teams that have great players, like
us have great players, you know, to o the state.
There are other teams Minnesota, you know, but they don't
(24:35):
have the system in place that benefits their players. And
it's a hell of a commitment, you know, you have
to really commit and it takes a lot of like
monitor team of one another and like trusting the system.
And you can tell that they have done that. You know,
they believe in what the coach has put out there.
(24:56):
They've had downfalls, but they still believed in it and
they're right it. Last year, I mean last season is
dominant and they're picking up on that they're not going
to stop. They see it doesn't matter Jaalen Williams out,
they pop in another guy. He might not be is
if you know, efficient, might not scores more, but still
the system it works. And so when you have a
(25:18):
team like that that thinks like that and they have
a great leader in Shay and other players who are
just as dominant you know throughout the games. Uh, that's
what's hard to be. Not so much the players. I mean,
the players are great, but the system that they have
and the way they run their offense and the way
they descend. You know, that's a lot of people look
(25:39):
at their offense, but you don't. You don't do what
they're doing unless you defend, especially down the stretch in
the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
James, what is if there's one key to why the
Lakers are succeeding and Lebron has not played, is it
the ball is moving more? Is it defense? What? What?
What would you say if they you had one reason
to give for the Lakers' success early this season when
the lineup has been not very stable, I'll.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Give you one in one A one is JJ Reddick.
Don't take no mess. That lost in Atlanta was so
upsetting to him. And you know coaches sometimes they loved
it when when when they're when when when when their
team gives them something to you know, kind of go
off on them. So he's a really good communicator.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Doing doing timeouts and.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Thinking on his feet. The other thing is the guys
they believe in it. They believe they know their roles.
I'm not putting them in the same category as Oklahoma,
but understanding the system and understanding, you know, what your
role is, and everybody committed to it. Hayden committed to
his role. I mean, Ruey has stepped up, you know,
and understand what he needs to do. We got guys
(26:54):
coming off the bench who who kind of understand Hayes
put on fifteen pounds, he's strong, and you know, we
got seven steals from Marcus Smart. That's a huge, you
know advantage having a guy on a team that's been
there and knows how to. I mean, he hasn't won
a championship, but he's been in the in the teeth,
(27:15):
you know, the den so uh and and you know
it's the way they communicate. And then you got Luca
who's like phenomenal, Like he's like magic Johnson or John
Stockton or Jason Kidd. He makes everybody around him better.
He probably has done it better than you know. I mean,
I played with Magic and I don't think anybody's done
(27:36):
it better than Magic. But Luca's He's he's close.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Yeah. The if there's one thing, James that that looks like, okay,
is this going to be a problem, it'd be three
point shooting. And I think a lot of it is
that Luca hasn't quite found that rhythm. He's shooting low thirties.
As a team, they're shooting low thirties. Really only Ruy
is the one that's that's connecting at a clip. You know,
you'd like to see that high thirties, you know, thirty eight,
(28:00):
thirty nine, maybe even if you can sniff a forty
for a couple of these guys. Or is it a
case of maybe this just isn't really a three point
shooting team with how good Luca is with the ball
at finding easy baskets, just is that a possibility? Or
do you think it's something that they're going to have
to figure out, you know, come playoff time. We got
to find some shooters and we've got to be able
(28:21):
to make those open threes.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Yeah, I think they you know, they they hit them
on occasion like they hit them like what I've seen,
like really a hit up bigly when they need one.
You know, Reeves a hit one when they need it.
But you know, you do want as a team, you
want that threat to be you know, damn near close
to forty percent, you know, and you want that to
(28:45):
be a stat that everybody sees so that they can't
you know, cheat off of players and you know leave
you know, players that have to stay close to home.
But with Luca, you know, and and you know Reeves
as well, and and Lebron coming back another ball handler,
you know, it has to get better because you're going
(29:06):
to be getting a lot of open threes, which you
got three ball handlers who who can break down and
collapse defenses any moment of the game. I'm sure it's
something that analytically that the Kochi staff is paying attention to.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
The one and only James Worthy. We have him on
every Wednesday on the Petrosen Money Show, and it is
the best. You know what it's like for a guy
to become a big star on a team that has
other stars. I mean, you were a star on a
team of stars, and Austin Reeves is becoming a star.
I mean he's averaging thirty points a game. He says
(29:42):
he wants to remain a Laker. I'm sure his agent
wants that extra ten million dollars or something that he
could get if Reeves signed somewhere else. How do you
think this is going to play out, James, if you
had to.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Guess, Well, for what I hear, you know he wants
to I mean ELI like Los Angeles. You know, I
think I think we got a bonus because you can
play golf year round here and he's a big golfer,
so hopefully that that would be one advantage. Uh. But
but you know, I think he wants to build Laker.
I think the Lakers want him to remain the Laker
(30:14):
he is. You know. Uh, he's emerged as a guy
that you can depend on whether you label him as
a megastar like like like uh like Luca Doncs or
somebody like that, or whether you just he's just a threat. Uh,
he's he's he's he's a star, and everybody's gonna want
to take a look at getting him. But I think uh,
(30:37):
and a lot of it depends on you know, how
the season, how the season ends. You know, if the
Lakers go far and deep and you know, mess around
and you know, win a championship, then you've got you
got something to build on. And I think that that
will be something that they want to. You know, they've
had their Caruso moments. They've you know, they've made some
some some trades for a d and and send out
(31:00):
some players who who have really risen and have played
well elsewhere. So I think we'd be interested in keeping
upcoming star or already a star in my book, with
that age and years left, you want that player here.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
It looks like Lebron is coming back soon. James. We
didn't even mention him last time we talked to you.
How much does this all change when Lebron comes back.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
I just think it's cool that, you know, the South
Bay the Lakers got to be so you know, you know,
just they just crazy excited to have Lebron come and
throw down with them in practice. But you know, look,
I think Lebron only knows how to be Lebron. You know,
megastars and guys who dominate games. You know, that's what
(31:49):
they do. But I also think he's wise enough. You
know this, he's looking at this team and seeing you know,
he's seeing Ayton coming along as a as a pretty
good center so far with a backup with Jackson Hayes,
who's a lob threat and you know he's a back
good backup center. He's seeing what Luca's doing and reeves
(32:10):
and if really continues to emerge, you know, we get
Gay back healthy. You know, Van de belts a threat
on defense. You know, he can kick and choose and
do what he wants to do. If he wants to
come back and dominate. You know, it's going to be
less shots for some other people. He could come back
and just say, hey, I'm going to play a role
where I'm gonna you know, plug game where I'm needed.
(32:32):
He's seeing this team is doing pretty good, you know,
so I think he's going to do what wasn't necessary
in his twenty third year and also to preserve, you know,
preserve himself as much as he can so that when
they get down the stretch, you know, he could you know,
beat to Lebron that we're used to seeing last one.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
For you, James always love getting in the in the
the time machine and asking what it was like when
you were doing it. But you mentioned the they get
blown out in Atlanta. They're on this long, roady week long.
When you consider travel days, eight days Atlanta, Charlotte, OKCEE tonight,
then New Orleans, Milwaukee. It's a little bit different for
(33:13):
NBA players because you guys are tall, and you know,
you're easily recognizable because you're cruising around at six six
or six eight. When you were on the road, did
you go out, did you stay in the hotel? Did
you want to explore the city. What was the James
Worthy approach to a five or seven game road trip.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
Well, I mean you couldn't hide. You know, we're flying,
we're flying commercial. So imagine you know, Maggie Johnson with
a fur coat going to the CSA and you know Kareem,
you know, and then you know you might see another team.
You might see our two NBA teams in the airport, Artists, Gilmore,
some other guys. Right, But you know we went out
(33:56):
with no bodyguards. I mean, Magic loved going to the movie.
You know, we'd go eat, you know, we you know
it'd be like six of us. We just we just
did it.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Man.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
It wasn't no social media. It was a little different,
of course. Yeah, and but nobody really bothered you. They'd
see us out, you know, they recognize us, but we
just kept walking, went out to eat. You know. We
we we've lived kind of a normal life and try
to enjoy the cities that we like Seattle, New York.
And so yeah, we were we were out and about
and you know, so it wasn't like today. We didn't
(34:28):
have any bodyguards and a lot of times we just
you know, you know, tag down a taxi and you know,
get it, get her done.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
Tell you I sit in that movie theater and James Worthy,
Magic Johnson and Kareem sitting in front of me, and
I'm like, what the hell am I supposed to just
stay a movie now?
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Thanks to Stand Up n Everywhere.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
