Speaker 3 (01:27):
And we're hopeful hopeful music at noon plenty.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
How much stuff sound like that hopeful music at noon?
Somebody told me that he just doesn't care.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
He doesn't care.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
That's what somebody told me. I'm not gonna say who,
but that's what they said. Today's show, well, have basketball perspective.
The Lakers are in Toronto tomorrow, then they're in Bostone
on Friday. And because of that, and because we do
every week due to our sponsorship, we have an appointment

(02:07):
with our dear friend James Worthy coming up in the
very next segment, So James Worthy will give us perspective
on the Lakers. As far as the Clippers.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Go, thinks you're great. Everything's buttoned up. You get a
release that's sent out from where you're sitting. I think
it was about three am in Miami when that thing
went out. It's not even centered on the on the
sheet that they lobbed out to.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Oh really, are you calling that out? Did you check
it for typos?

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Did they not have a crayon and a scanner that
they could have written this on? Rather unfortunate? It seems like,
I mean, you must have. And you know, I think
has the ability to piss people off that much.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Well, man, I mean, look, if you want to talk,
let's talk about it. You know, the Clippers are worse
than Fred's mike?

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Or are they?

Speaker 4 (03:15):
That's are they?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
I'm gonna punt?

Speaker 4 (03:19):
I mean the product that you can imagine that Fred
lives in a nice house right right in the gestshoom,
so it's kind of like the into it Dome, great house,
crappy product, great house, bad mic Are the Clippers worse
than Fred's Mike?

Speaker 5 (03:35):
Hey?

Speaker 6 (03:35):
You ever noticed how December has this mix of joy
and chaos?

Speaker 4 (03:40):
At least our show has a two minute commercial for
Jacob where Fred is just molesting a bad microphone for
two minutes. And I was like, you know what, I'm
not gonna come on today and complain about Fred's mike.
And then I sat there through that. Matt.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, it's a tough It's a tough one to sit through.
And you know, I think, as you said, somebody at
least accusing him of not trying. I think in this
case the Clippers are trying. They're not trying to wait
five and sixteen.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Well, here's the parallel. Fred's mike is so bad that
it's good for us because it's freaking hilarious.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Right, That's that is fair.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Satan voice vas say comes back.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Also great for us.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Who knows what else can happen, So I mean that
part of it is positive for us, and the Clippers
are also that's kind of a good thing. The Clippers
are so bad that they've turned the corner to the
point where it's become a story, and that is good

(04:53):
for us. The dysfunction, yes, has become a story. And
you know, Matt, you never.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Were now talking about them when in basketball games or
anything on the floor to discuss it.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
We're I'm talking about what friend's hot takes are. He's
talking about how bad they sound.

Speaker 6 (05:08):
Call Jacob, whoa Yet it's that time of year. The
lights are going up the trees or on the car
roof finish.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Please holiday Grees.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
I don't want to do it. I creee.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Listen to the word trees the way that that sounds
on that microphone.

Speaker 6 (05:28):
Because it's that time of year, the Christmas lights are going.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Up the trees. You know what, This could be a
parallel with the Clippers as well. You never want your
mic to just be kind of bad, so it just
remains like that forever and people get used to it.
You want it to be so bad that somebody calls
attention to it and you change it. And that is

(05:52):
the situation with the Clippers. You never want your team
to be just kind of like in the middle. Don
McClain always says that that's bad for everything, the draft
and media wise, be horrible and dysfunctional. Be Chris Cayman
laying on the bench. I apologize to Laker fans Genie

(06:12):
Buss and as you said, Matt, the word of got clipped.
I think it just couldn't even They couldn't even center.
This statement is hilarious to Clippers statement. Well, listen, they
have sent Chris Paul home at three am from Atlanta
like a recalcitrant child would be sent home from a

(06:36):
summer camp. Yes, Matt, I know in the Midwest that
many kids go away for months on end.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Oh those rich kids, they get all the breaks.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
To camp wamp them my Puzzo in Wisconsin or.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Something believe it's Wampa your puzzo.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Oh, sorry to be insensitive to the natives. They sent
him home in the middle of the night for undermining
ty Loo, which is like pulling a really gnarly prank
at summer camp, like sinking all the canoes, like going
on a hardcore panty raid and waving Kawhi's panties over

(07:15):
her head, his new balance panties and Matt I don't
think they're going to let him back in the summer camp.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Well, according to the statement, they are working very fine
next step of his career.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
And ty Lou sent him home from camp big load
management Mountain, and not everybody's happy about it. You know
what Guillerina said, What do you say? He said that
the Clippers done sent home the best clipper of all time.
How are you going to do that?

Speaker 7 (07:51):
Well?

Speaker 2 (07:51):
I think both things can be true, Gil. I think
he can be the best Clipper of all time, and
he can also be forty years old and always running
in his mouth about how everybody else sucks and how
he's great and he's only playing like two minutes a game,
and that probably doesn't go over well.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
Larry Frank, I have it on good authority had to
get out there to the campsite and put out his
torch like survivor. Oh yeah, and they sent him home.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Did they just throw all of his stuff into a pillowcase?
Uh huh at a rubber band on the end of
it and say here you go.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
They said, leave the headdress, leave the chief's headdress, because
you're not our chief anymore.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Chris Paul, this was supposed to be his big farewell
tour road trip too. You know, he's a Charlotte guy,
wake Forest playing in Atlanta. He's born in Atlanta, I believe,
raised in Atlanta. Plans he's on his retirement tour. He's
a Hall of Famer and he's on a retirement tour.
He was going to make the Kareem Abdul Jabbar rocking
chair and motorcycle and all that sort of stuff.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
And they snuffed out his torch.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
I'm sorry, you're right. What do they say when they
send you home on service or they just they just
extinguish the torch. There's no like fancy saying that there.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Is something your journey is over or something like that.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
You didn't survive.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
That guy prost says something to you. He says something.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
They clipped off a word on the statement.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Oops.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
So I know we're playing terrible and I want to
make something clear. This isn't his fault, but I'm not
a guy we just sent home. I'm not gay. But
it's a lot of people at all that is that's
sweet meat.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
And it's a lot of people that would say, you're
doing Chris Paul really dirty. And it's also a lot
of other people that would say, can't you figure out
how to write the statement and put it out, maybe
you know, take a look at it before you put
it out clearly on an iPhone notes app is what

(09:57):
they did, and then snapped the photo of it and
posted it to social media and sent it.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Out to the NBA media And he had someone just
cropped it a little bit too tight on that right
side there.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
He had three straight dnipts, as Don would say, did
not play coach's decision. And what they used to say
on Survivor when they kicked you out was the tribe
has spoken.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
That's right. The tribe has spoken, you idiots.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
Time for you to go. Tribe has spoken, Please for
you to go.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Please grab your torch and approach the front. The tribe
has spoken. The tribe, this tribe of white trash idiots
has spoken, and you're no longer allowed to hang out.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
The tribe has spoken.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
You can't even be part of this group of miscreants.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
He went and put the camp counselors underpants up the
flagpole and they had a big skid mark on them,
and everybody was like ooh ooh, and he got sent
home from NBA summer Camp. And that is hard to do.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
SpongeBob movie search for square.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
What about SpongeBob? What is going on?

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Switch for SquarePants? I'm guessing that's a commercial and we're
gonna play like the themed meatballs or something along those lines.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
I thought it was Fred's Mike again or Devil Deaft Vessa.
Either way, the tribe has spoken, And all I'm trying
to say is I'm grateful for the Chris Paul dysfunction
because at least it distracts us from how bad friends
Mike is when we're flexed back into Fred territory, like
you've said, Matt from line to two point thirty today.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Am I am? I just old? And I don't know
what the new ones are or do they not do
the summer camp movies? Anymore, like we had meatballs, we.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
Had little there. Yeah, that'll think.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Has sleep Away camp for the horror now.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
Matt, I think American Pie and yeah, stuff like that.
Was kind of like the last.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Gannety camp rock on Disney with so yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
I mean you know, but uh yeah, you know, you
can't really make anything anymore because everything sucks.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
I mean, like like summer camp movies. You're certainly offensive
because every kid, dude there is trying to get late.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
They remade amedeis like, why would you remake Amedeas?

Speaker 2 (12:25):
They did?

Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yeah, and they made it like an Indian guy Mozart.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
I didn't know that they did. Why did they do that?

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Look it up, it's out. It's coming out. It's like
some apple or one of those uh that. Yeah, they
remade Amadas, They're remaking the Exorcist. There is no original
ideas anymore. All there is is us making fun of friends,
Mike and Chris Paul getting sent home from the Clippers
summer camp and no longer allowed to ride the canoes

(12:55):
with Kawhi and have his first kiss across the lake
with La La or something. It's all over for Chris Paul.
I guess somebody else will pick him up or I
don't know how it's gonna work. I don't if he.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Did Florida and hops on the Banana boat, you know,
fire that thing up again, get on the mastercraft tow
the banana boat.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
Well that would be hard. Well, yeah, Carmelo's retirement. All
those guys on the boat are available. Carmelo is there.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
I think Bron's the only one that's not around anymore.
Dwayne Wade, Well, Lebron.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Is just laughing it up with the Phoenix bench while
JJ Reddicks trying to call a play for him and
just standing over there petulantly because he's not the guy anymore.
That's what he's doing.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Matt, Yeah, you know. Coming up next, I'm looking at
the Banana boat. It's Gabby Union, who was on the
front with Dwayne Wade.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
Oh, Dwayne Wade, that's right, So it is Gabby.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
I remember there was a fourth, but yeah, it's because
it was his wife.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
Yeah, Ky, yes, Kate.

Speaker 8 (13:51):
You think Laurence Frank is handing him a ticket on
a flight and that ticket is first class or coach
to fly back from Atlanta to la That's not only.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
You said coach, but it's on frontier. Oh, yeah, two stops.
You're stopping in Denver, you're stopping in Albuquerque, and then
you're getting that dead way.

Speaker 8 (14:13):
You'd like to upgrade, I mean, thirty nine dollars for you, Chris,
it is.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
It is an extra labor that that Frontier has gone
that way. You know, Frontier was kind of like if
you had to fly to Denver a lot or Yeah,
it was like great airline. It was like Alaska's little brother, right.
You know, you felt good about it, and now that
is no longer the case. Oh no, most definitely, you
don't feel good about it anymore.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
What we do feel good about is the fact that
the Clippers are so bad it's come around to be
a story. Just like Fred's microphone, we will return with
more great sports talk.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
You Hardy wants to weigh on this.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Well, we could have what not about Fred's mike.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
I mean, James sounds pretty good every time he calls us.
Sounds better on his phone than Fred sounds on his mic.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
A lot of people do. I'm not gay, but it's
a lot of people that are. It's a lot of
people that's not a lot better than Fred.

Speaker 6 (15:04):
Yeah, you're right, because it's that time of year. The
Christmas lights are going up, the trees are on the
car route.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Like it's really bad. Like something's got to be done
about this, Like I don't know how else to call
attention to it.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
We're trying. We got ourselves a new water machine by trying,
and I'd be in the squeaky wheel.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
I know where the best buy in the desert is
to go and buy a microphone, like I know where
it is. James Worthy coming up next.

beloved Showtime Lakers. There's jersey hangs and the rafters and

(16:42):
his words they live in our hearts. It is the
one and only James Worthy on the Petrosen Money Show. James,
how are you? We hope you had a great holiday.

Speaker 9 (16:55):
They're all good, brother, the same to you. I hope
everything was great.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
Now, we don't usually start out with a Clipper question,
but to have a guy sent home, a guy you know,
was a Hall of Fame basketball player and put in
a lot of years in this league and did a
lot of state farm commercials. Chris Paul gets sent home
from Atlanta of all places, and the Clippers part ways

(17:20):
with him, so to speak. Were you surprised to hear
that happen? And how does that happen in a professional
league where you know, what was he doing?

Speaker 9 (17:30):
My goodness, Yeah, it really did seem a little strange.
I mean I go back many many years when the
Lakers thought they had Chris Paul from New always as
a commissioner, you know, he didn't let that happen. And
then he became the copper he and that's when the

(17:52):
Clippers were, you know, really good, and Chris Paul was
the guy that really started should generate the vibe and
the success that the Clippers pretty much now experience. And
my question is why did you bring him back from
San Antonio? That was I thought they brought him back because,

(18:16):
you know, maybe he would be great in the front office,
maybe he could be, you know something a GM or
you know, just be good for the team. So to
be sent home spontaneously was a little bit strange. I
have heard that he and ty Leeue have not spoken
in many weeks, so I don't know what's going on,

(18:39):
or if he had something to say that he didn't
agree with. I don't know, but it does seem a
little odd that they sent a legend home like that.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
I know, it only happened once in your career, James,
and it's just a lot of things went wrong in
ninety three in ninety four are of course, just the
sudden retirement of magic was the thing that kind of
kickstarted all of that. But what is it like being
a veteran on a team after experiencing a lot of winning,
you know, like Kawhi has, like James Harden has to

(19:15):
deal with five and sixteen. When you're playing, you know,
Kawhi is back, James Arden's out there playing every single game,
averaging twenty eight points per game. How hard is that
to coach? To play to not saying the season's over?
But damn it kind of looks like it is.

Speaker 9 (19:32):
Well, when you when you're a team that's been on
the rhymes, right, I mean, you know Paul George, Zumbox,
you know Powell, then you have you know Kawi Leonard
of course, so they were on the rise the last
few years and you know a lot of exciting expectations.

(19:55):
Now you lose two key components Paul George and then
my opinion, Powell was key. So now you you know,
you you know, you've got to deal with those management
and whether the choirs want to play or not. And
so now you're you lose a big part of your
your engine. And so then it becomes Okay, are we

(20:19):
still motivated by what we're hearing, you know from the
coaching staff or from the front office. Are there too
many distractions? What's going on. They all seem to have
a little bit of play with the Clippers right now
because they're not happy and they used to be a
happy team, you know, one two years ago. Uh So

(20:42):
something is you know, something is not right over there
because they're not winning and they're not playing like a
team that we you know, we've known them to be.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Let's focus on a much more successful operation. Uh The Lakers,
with the second best record in the West, have certainly
found themselves on a heater, you know, even with the
loss to Phoenix. But a lot of that is around
Austin Reeves. We've talked to you about him before, James,
and I'm sure you've seen some of the stuff that's
making its way around social media that points field goal percentage,

(21:15):
rebounds and assists. He's ahead in each of those categories,
ahead of Anthony Edwards, Kevin Durant, Tvin Booker, and his
numbers in year five are very close to what Kobe
Bryant's numbers were in year five. Are we looking at
a max player? Is that what Austin Reeves has become.

Speaker 9 (21:34):
He will be if he continues, If he continues at
this level of play and continues to be a threat.
Whether Luker or Lebron or who else, whoever is on
the floor, it doesn't matter. We're seeing, you know, an
undrafted player who nobody wanted to take a chance on

(21:58):
become a mega global superstar. He's already played on the
USA team and with Steve Kerr. You know, he's he's
already exceeded what we thought we'd get out of him.
And I like, I just refer him to pistol Pete.
He's got everything and he's an unstoppable score. You don't

(22:21):
want to get too close to him because he'll draw
the file and get to the line. He takes charges,
you know, he responds, you know, quickly from mistakes and downfalls,
and he's got the right attitude. And what really pisses
me off the most is he's a scratch golfer all together.
It's a scratch golfer. Man. Just give me a couple

(22:44):
of those strokes, man.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
Yeah, but you wouldn't want to have those skinny shoulders, James, Hey.

Speaker 9 (22:50):
Man, if I was producing like he was, like he is,
like he is, Yeah, I take those shoulders, man. Thanks
of the golf course, right.

Speaker 4 (22:59):
God, the Great James Worthy is our guest always a
pleasure to talk to. Lakers got blown out the other night.
Look kind of disinterested. Any reason to be alarmed there
or is that just something natural that happens in the
midst of winning streets and stuff.

Speaker 9 (23:16):
Well, I mean, look, you know, you do have games there.
There's gonna be some games. You know, I don't necessarily like,
you know, I don't like back to back games. You know,
we were just used to them, you know, I guess
you know, we get off the airlines, off off of
t w A and just go through the hotel, take
a nap. Don't bet it done. But but I get it.

(23:37):
I mean, it's it's you do have to win back
to back games. Thus far, the Lakers have taken care
of the games that they shouldn't in the early part
of the schedule minus Atlanta. But what's happening now is
they're moving up. They're moving up into the Upper Auchlan.

(23:59):
Talent record might not be that great right now, but
they're a tough, scrappy defensive team, and they showed that Toronto.
Same thing. They're They're a good team. They have they
have they have you know, width, they can play good defense.
And then you get into Boston. So we're gonna see
here in this next road trip where they are because

(24:22):
they'll be playing some teams that you know that are
are are better and we'll we'll we'll we'll make more
challenging uh. You know times for the Lakers, and Phoenix
was one of those teams, uh, scrappy defensive teams, you know,
back to back game. We'll know, we're gonna let it
go one of those games because their record is so good. Uh,

(24:44):
and they were without Marcus Smartn and you know, but uh,
we'll see Todd the rest of his road tip goes.
It'll be a good measure of where they really are.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
James uh Luca after the that Phoenix game, said that
they they play them a little different, did they? Certainly
they were more than happy to let him score. And
so I got the twenty in the first quarter, and
you know, I was piling up all those points, but
it felt like they took away his opportunity to spread
the wealth and pile up a bunch of assists. Like
you mentioned, he had those nine turnovers. What did uh

(25:16):
what was the most effective defense you remember that the
teams would like do to you. We're like, hey, we're
going to take James Worthy out of this? What would
they do to try to make sure that you weren't
going to be the guy that was going to hurt
him on a given night.

Speaker 9 (25:31):
I was unstoppable, so there was no defense.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
Exactly right, Nah?

Speaker 9 (25:37):
No, I mean I'll give you example, like the Detroit Pistons,
Like they came with many different you know players. First
it was with Han who was hard to post up
and get around, big wide body, strong experience. Okay. Then
they come with John Sally, you know, a taller guy,
a shot blocker, you know, and and so I'd have

(25:59):
to change my you know, concept of how I was
going to attack him. Then blast, they come with Dennis Robins,
the best defensive player, his footwork match. So they try
to give you, you know, the way they tried to
slow me down is give you different looks Kevin McHale
one time. Did it be Sage Maxwell or Scotty Whiting
And they go with different types of sizes, and I
would just I would just have to navigate through, but

(26:22):
you know, double teams in the post to get it
out of my hands, things like that. But we had
too many weapons, you know, we had Kareem managing McAdoo
coop shoot the three bying. You know, it was hard
to it was hard to leave him and open. So
it made a lot easier for me when I had
one on one situation.

Speaker 4 (26:39):
Have you made it around any of the high school
basketball games? Tim Kats went to one the other night
and watch the Cresby team that Derek Fisher's coaching, but
instead I think he was doing TV with you.

Speaker 9 (26:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. You know, I haven't gone to
see Derek yet, but I'm gonna get out there to
see Cresby Flee. I think has missed a game at
Fairfax High School in a long time. I'm going to
go to some games with him. He's a big high
school guy. I used to go to the palace of
these games when I lived up there. He just to
take my kids out for a night. High school sports

(27:13):
and I watch a lot on o spectrum, especially the
football and the basketball. So it's really good to see
that age. You know, I remember being there, So I
do like a lot of a lot of high school sports.
And so yeah, I'm going to get out to some
high school games this year for sure.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Last one, James, I know, sad, but you know, to
celebrate his life. I got season tickets in ninety five,
and to this day, I still think that ninety five
ninety sixteen was my favorite. They were scrappy, and it
was Eldon and Vladi up front, and it was Sedi
and Eddie Jones and Nick van Exel and just Eldon
was so smooth. And I know he was a teammate

(27:51):
of yours for a number of years. So I think
he got here in ninety if I remember right. But
just sad to lose someone that young, and certainly you
see the tributes pouring out and what he meant to
what it meant to be in a locker room with him.

Speaker 9 (28:04):
Yeah, I've been shaking all morning. I've been in a
group text with Byron and you know some of the
guys who knew Helthen very well. Ar Helda was my rookie.
You know, I had him for a few weeks. Go
get me a newspaper, Go get me some coffee. I'm sad.
You know, Eldon was a good guy. You know I

(28:25):
knew his family. He'll be missed. I just saw him
maybe about me about a month and a half ago.
We were talking about playing some golf and I don't
know the details yet, but yeah, none of them went
gone too soon.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
Well God bless you, James, and thank you for joining us.
We appreciate you and everything that you bring to the show,
and we hope you have a good week and we'll
be watching you on TV. At least you don't have
to go to Canada, which is a positive thing.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
No custody.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
Yeah, er Dodgers had to go back for a game
seven and a six. You're the best, James, Thank you

Speaker 4 (31:00):
End of year's sale.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah, end of year fan appreciation.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
But it's more like the end of decades sale for us.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Yeah, I think there might even be some decade plus
a real perds in there. Yeah, it's T shirts, a
cooler hats, statues.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
It's a lot of people that are exactly right, Matt.
We have some text also say a reaction to things
that have been going on based on what your knowledge.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
Brought to you by your so called toyota dealers. We
make it easy now.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
I just hate a text that starts with just so
you know, oh the old just so you know, Yeah,
just so you know. To people who don't work in radio,
Fred's mic sounds completely normal, that's not possible. No, our
ears are trained and very sensitive. Yes we are professionals.
But no, even if you don't know that it's the mic,

(31:53):
there's something that's making you uncomfortable. And it's not just
that Fred's creepy, it's the mic.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yeah, you would, you would really have to have the
least sensitive ears tuned into.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
You'd have to be one of those people that lets
the smoke alarm be free, right for.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
You don't wake up to your alarm, you just let
it ride. Yeah, you were comfortable listen to your success.
Play after play after play.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
You're just soothing to me. What what teams? What team's
jersey does Chris Paul wear when he goes into the
Hall of Fame. He can't wear a Clippers jersey because
Larry Frank just bit slaped c B three.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Oh, I don't think. I think if I remember right,
I believe baseball is the only Hall of Fame in
which your team is designated. I believe. You know, obviously
the football football wes your head, you know, same thing
doesn't have.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
To wear a jersey. Yeah, he's not as going to
go in as anything other than Chris Paul himself. Now,
there was a promo that aired. It's a brand new
promo about this Chris Paul saga which happened at three
am Atlanta time, so fresh content from Bob Schmidt. And

(33:16):
in this promo they call us your official legend hating
show of record because we hate on Lebron's apparently. And
it also has a clip from Fully Functional Employee Adams
Emergency Chris Paul Funeral podcast.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Do that at midnight?

Speaker 4 (33:38):
Yeah, he must have, because he sounds absolutely plowed.

Speaker 5 (33:44):
CP three comes back to the Clippers to finish his career.

Speaker 7 (33:48):
When he came back, it was a hero's.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Welcome, just weeks after announcing, and it was his final
NBA season.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
I even middle of the night, I can't believe the
LA Clippers and parted ways with Chris Paul.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
I mean, if you know you're gonna get rid.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
Of it all. Bob Schmidt is a brilliant, brilliant imaging guy.
And I could be sitting I was sitting in UCF
at the Space game and his voice goes booming across
the place doing promotions and stuff, just like it does
at Dodger Stadium. He does an awesome job. And he

(34:24):
now lives in Kansas City and Matt catches up with
him sometimes when he travels, and he always calls Tim
Katz or comes out here and spends time. Bob is
the best. Bob is maybe even better than Bob Chesney
from u c l A. Right not we're not ready,
But I have to say this emergency podcast poll and

(34:51):
how devastated Adam sounds is just absolute cinema. It is wonderful.
One more time, please.

Speaker 5 (35:00):
CP three comes back to the Clippers to finish his career.

Speaker 7 (35:03):
When he came back, it was a hero as.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Welcome, just weeks after announcing it was his final NBA season.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
I mean, in the middle of the night.

Speaker 7 (35:11):
I can't believe it.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
The LA Clippers have parted ways with Chris Paul.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
I mean, if you know you're gonna get rid of him,
can you get rid of him?

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Closer to La than Atlantis? Well, Petrow send money, ask
why not? Lebron your official legend hating show.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Of records, He'll keep you updated on all the development.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
Wait a minute, was that was that Ai Kates or
did you record that for him? Tim?

Speaker 2 (35:33):
That's Ai Kate's Is that right, dude?

Speaker 4 (35:36):
Yeah, be careful boy Ai Kates and wed Ai k

we can't even fix friends.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Mike, your official legend hating show of records.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Wow, oh yeah, look at this. I'm looking at uh,
I'm looking at Clippers talk at Clippers talk on YouTube.
And it was twelve hours ago. So he did this
at two am.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Yeah, that is some serious two.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
Am in a tank top with a cat on the screen.
I didn't know Adam Awlson was a cat guy. Yeah,
he's got a cat.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
He's got two of them.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
He's got two cats.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
He's a cat dad.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Oh, he's a super cat guy. Makes sense that apartment
smells like cat pee.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
And Tony Gonsolin visits once a week even though he goes.

Speaker 7 (36:22):
This is shocking news.

Speaker 5 (36:24):
Chris Paul is no longer with the Clippers. Yes, we
got some Clippers talk after dark going on.

Speaker 7 (36:33):
That happened to be up.

Speaker 5 (36:37):
I was with my Daddy Diddy Puff Daddy documentary too.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
I was watching that last.

Speaker 5 (36:41):
Wetli and after I watched Train Dreams, which was great.

Speaker 4 (36:50):
Did he sounds like Sergio dipp And I can't believe
this just a guy from Coleexico.

Speaker 7 (36:54):
But maybe I can't given how this is gone.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Oh god, he's doing Vertical Blinds and Ninja com It's
not first it's fist.

Speaker 4 (37:04):
He does love the Turtles.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Mike sounds pretty good too.

Speaker 7 (37:10):
That's how things are going. Oh, oh, this is crazy.
I'm out of Moslim This is Clippers talk.

Speaker 4 (37:19):
Oh there we go.

Speaker 5 (37:21):
We got done doing a clip and dip earlier tonight. Nice,
I'm not in a hotel in Atlanta?

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Is that a tipic capta Sergio Dip?

Speaker 9 (37:33):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (37:34):
CP three was sending cryptic messages on Instagram.

Speaker 7 (37:38):
Oh leeway. The definition of leeway.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
The cat's just like leaping behind his head.

Speaker 7 (37:46):
But I just tail This came out thirteen minutes ago.

Speaker 4 (37:50):
Smells like the cat's ass.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Yeah, he just.

Speaker 7 (37:55):
Hosted this TUCA Relax.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
See that cat's cat.

Speaker 5 (38:01):
This is from Wow. We are parting ways with Chris.
He will no longer be with the team. We will
work with him the next step of his career. Chris
is a legendary clipper who has had a historic career.

(38:22):
I want to make one thing very clear. No one
is blaming Chris for our underperformance. I accept responsibility for
the record we have right now. There are a lot
of reasons why we've struggled. We're grateful for the impact
Chris has made on the franchise.

Speaker 7 (38:42):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (38:45):
Chris Paul posted on his instagram.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
Hmmm, I don't think life.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
You don't think he should just be ass tired. Like
when you look at him, he looks like he's he's
barely away.

Speaker 4 (39:06):
He kind of always looks like that.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
And you know he's got a problem seeing peripherally. And
the cat is certainly you know, keeping the cat's.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Asses right behind his head. For this is Roman behind him. Yeah,
he just like hops up on the chair. It's like,
how and here's my butthole?

Speaker 4 (39:23):
Like can't you wait till six in the morning? Like,
who's gonna watch it between two and six? Right? Like
have some coffee.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
He's got thirty four hundred and fifty nine views, you know,
one of.

Speaker 5 (39:31):
Them is to me right now, this is just found out.
I'm being sent home piece.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
So and then here did you just hear the cat?

Speaker 5 (39:41):
I'm guessing this isn't a performance related, although he's really
struggled this season.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
Now I assume Adam does Adam live in a single
family home or is he in a an apartment or
a condo or a townhouse.

Speaker 8 (39:55):
He's surrounded by other people.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Okay, so that's that's part of this is it's two
am and he doesn't want to be with his like
high end.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
Well, I mean, you know.

Speaker 8 (40:02):
Geez, this is really an emergency. Then get back to
the station where you can tell come on, bring the cat.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
