Are we ready?

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Imagy guy, Bob had a promo ready for Vassay's victory.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Correct. And you were very upset yesterday and I feel
it too. We were both upset. Well, I both humiliated.
I don't think I was. I didn't have as much
salt in my flank stack. You got a seat at
the table, yes you. I didn't have a seat at

(03:12):
the table. That might have been it. But then again, Matt,
I don't work with the Chargers like that's a whole
table of people that you love and work with, and
you're the voice of the Bolts and you represent them
like I didn't. You know. I. People were very upset
here yesterday and I do feel as if it's carried
over today. There's David Vasse. I believe his son Joseph

(03:35):
took that photograph and Tim Kates was able to put
it up as he has the secret key to the
AM five seven y LA sports Twitter feed, which is.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Does he have the ig feed as well? Does he
have the Snapchat? Does he have all the aids give
you do you have the snapchat too, Kate.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
All I have is Twitter. I don't have the Instagram.
So Dave Weis is doing Instagram this week, I'm doing Twitter.
So I was a gracious loser. I think I finished
second behind Dave.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
I didn't look to see the voting, but it's not
what I read.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
We weren't able to see.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
But I was a gracious loser. And I said, hey, Dave,
we need a nice picture of you with the award.
Can you send it to me. We'll post it up
on social media to celebrate you. And he wrote back,
that's very nice to you, And he sent me a
picture that we posted.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
He's very proud of his award. His father in law
was there to see him receive it. He had a
one time. He stayed for the event's entirety. We did not.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
We had to leave.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
We had a show.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Well, let's be honest, Matt, three words. We have never
I've never seen the end of that thing.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
No.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
I thought it was a good strategy by the three of.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Us well, and I would like to say those seeds
were planted by our producer, Tim Kats. Did we have
to leave? No, we could have stayed for at least
another half hour. I know you weren't and rolled in
to the studio a little bit hot, you know, a
line and right in front of the microphone's supposed to
given ourselves a little bit of a break.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
I know you weren't at the table with Latimer and myself.
I had no seat at the table, but Blackbarn full disclosure.
Our program director, Brian Blackmore was nipping at me like
a hound. He wanted, let's go, let's go, let's go,
let's do it. But we had to wait untill they
waited until there was a standing ovation for that guy.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, the guy that I got yelled at to stand up.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Stand up, stand up for what show some respect, either.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
One that's getting yelled at the stand up.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
To the mighty ones, Steve Carroll, Do we have the
promo that Bob still trying to find it? Bob?

Speaker 6 (05:31):
Are we ready?

Speaker 3 (05:32):
What do you mean? You played it for me today?

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah? It was on a real short cycle. That thing
played for like two hours.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
I didn't play for you. It was on the air
and I played it when I heard it in the background, and.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
They played it. They only played it during Dodger Talk.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
They played it this morning all straight one hour Last
Night Talk. Blake Snell was so proud of Dave that
he called into Dodger Talk to congratulate Dave Snell. Zilla,
it's a big deal, there's no doubt about it.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
An your time, cy young award winner, a guy who's
one major award.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
He walked in here like a rooster. Did you know
that Snell called him Matt Because he did.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
I did not.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
He did call him. I will yell in your ear.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Were you listening, No, it's just the word of the street.
You got it on the text, though, so I heard.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
That Snell was calling Vassa and kissing his ass.

Speaker 7 (06:19):
Blake Snell called during the first segment of Dodger Tag
while Dave was setting up the show, and Dave, bless
his heart, took the phone call and you could. You could,
if you were listening close enough, you could hear Blake
Snell just trying to chop it up with Dave. Dave saying, Hey,
I'm on the air right now, call in, And sure enough,
a couple of minutes later, Blake Snell called in.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Look at that, that's how you win an award. I
just think that we should kind of I mean, we
used to have money Kiffin call in to humiliate us.
We'll not say that we were putting on an amateur
broadcast what.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
He called in because we didn't know the name of
some guy that got drafted. Now, God rests Mondi's soul.
Now that being said, Matt, I think we should purge
all the salt in this first hour or first segment
at least. This text also says Matt definitely had lemon
and salt INSI and timp of his packer. Can I
make one last? You're upset about it? I can't upset.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
I would just like to make one last.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
But what we've witnessed, Okay, maybe you would didn't have
a seat at the table.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
I did not, or you could have just got.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Your skinny bones in there and slithered in humiliating like slithering, humiliating.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
I'm the one that's got to say, hey, can you
scoot over so I can put a chair in here
between you?

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, we all work together, we're all brothers.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
I didn't know it works, man, But you.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Think, okay, you did have to endure some humiliation. I did.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
You did. However, was that more humiliation than anyone else?

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Perhaps in your in your opinion.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
You got a charger's table.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
You know who's got it the worst here?

Speaker 6 (07:49):
Me?

Speaker 3 (07:51):
I lost out on four separate wards. But what about
the part that you look good, that you're muscular, that
everybody can see your flu.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
I got yelled at to stand up, stood up? I
mean you're there. People are like, wow, Matt looks really good.
You know, barely talk to anyone. That's not true. I
was thinking about this. Are we talking to Sweet James today?

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Okay, hopefully I can remember to bring this up. I
don't know if I will, But like if we were,
like if if we're thinking about advertising right and trying
to pull in advertising dollars like Harvey Hyde does for
his shows from South Point and Coors and Brian Kennedy,
and they don't even ask questions like I'll be your
title sponsor, Just take the check. What do you think

(08:37):
it would affect us positively or negatively as a format
for advertisers to see The Southern California Sports Broadcasting Association
negatively is here at Dodger Stadium and the camera pans
to them, and they put up the sixty or seventy

(08:57):
tickets of these guys on this on the Diamond Vision,
you know, and here's Summer on oxygen eto an oiocha,
and here's Sapporo and all these people are like, oh,
maybe we should think about advertising on radio. And then
you see that image. It's a Jerry adverg crowd.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Okay, that would not be good for us, a geriatric
and desperate crowd. All right. There's no doubt about.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
The newly launched seven to eleven with their new branding
in the Japanese version. I don't know what you're saying
of egg salad sandwiches to advertise on radio. That is
not good for us. That image is not good for
us as we try to solicit, like Harvey Hyde, advertisers
to spend money on our show.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
That's way too inside, Matt. I think overall, what people
really want to know is who won the award. They
don't want to know what the award show looked like
and how sad it was. They want to know who
came home with the hardware. David Vasse came home with
the hardware. Here's the promo out of Kansas City.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
This is petrocin Money, the second or third best sports
talk hosts in all of Southern California.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Award winning Dodger program.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
You want a ward?

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Did you know it was beautiful? What you said?

Speaker 3 (10:08):
I have no idea.

Speaker 8 (10:10):
I think it says something about our radio station that
all three of the finalists were from A five to
seventy LA Sports. We are loaded at this station. Now
we're ruining baseball at this radio station.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Week day Sat.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Three pm, right here on AM five to seventy LA Sports.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
That's a great point by you, Dave. See, look at
how awesome we are.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Editing has has made us fortunes fools as well, edited
by Bob Schmidt, our exceptional imaging director. And I mean
that was great celebration. That was great, beautiful music behind.
It makes us feel good about ourselfe.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
It's hard to enjoy when I look over and you're
so sour and dour. I just feel like, and now
you want to attack the whole figure say, what would
it look like? What would it look like if the
camera panned over and all those old desperate used car
salesman dressed people were standing there waving, looking like a

(11:07):
bunch of douche bags. I didn't say that that's what
that's what you implied. I did not imply that play
that again, well, what do you think the advertisers would say?

Speaker 1 (11:17):
This is Petro send money, the second or third best
sports talk hosts in all of Southern California Award winning
Dodger program.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Won the award.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Did you know it was beautiful what you said?

Speaker 6 (11:31):
I had no idea.

Speaker 8 (11:33):
I think it says something about our radio station that
all three of the finalists were from A five to
seventy LA Sports. We are loaded at this station. Now
we're ruining baseball at three.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Year week day said three pm right here on AM
five to.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Seventy LA Sports. That's a great point by you, Dave.
Here is how awesome our station is.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Man did clip the part where you said, yeah, that's
because we bought a table?

Speaker 3 (11:57):
When did they do that?

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Right when you said when you said you know that
all three of the finalists were from AM five to
seven to LA Sports and you said, yeah, that's because
we bought a tape?

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Was that in there?

Speaker 2 (12:06):
I cut it out just the yeah is Chase is
the one who edited that part.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
But that doesn't matter. It's what the people here they
think of us as ruining baseball.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Good editing we are.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
This is how awesome we are at the station. We
got clippers tonight. We got clippers hoops. Guys. Yeah, let's go.

Speaker 5 (12:29):
Can I just go back to yesterday real quick, guys.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
You gotta get over it. Guys.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
What do we got?

Speaker 3 (12:34):
We got? God?

Speaker 6 (12:35):
Do we?

Speaker 3 (12:36):
I mean?

Speaker 4 (12:36):
The only awards that were handed out to A five
seventy LA Sports yesterday were to David Veasse and the
Stephen Nelson for the Call and talk show Hosts of
the Year. I went home a loser. You guys went
home losers, not feeling good about ourselves.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
No, it felt terrible, so I didn't.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
In honor of that, we have a special trophy made
up to Petro some money the twenty twenty six recipients
of the Freedom Train of the Year Award.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Is this like the FIFA Peace Prize? Is that what
we're getting.

Speaker 5 (13:09):
I'm gonna come present it to you guys right now.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
You can see it on the air.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
I'll take the post. I'm just gonna put this to
bed right now. I'm just gonna bring the award. Let's
see how you feel once you get your hands on that.
I've seen that award. Let's see how you feel it.
As a glomar bat you were, you have your Glomar
bat shirt on and you were using it as a stick.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Oh, thank you. The freedom train. There's a little trade.
That's beautiful. That's beautiful. That really is nice. Oh, let's
got some weight to it. Yeah, it's that's like a
real award. Wow, Freedom Train of War, Freedom Train of
the Year award. Here, here's the context of what happened.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
That is beautiful. Thank you.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Matt is referring to a very long speech from a
great man, former coach at un l V who coached
the Randall Cunningham teams at un l V, the Great
Harvey Hyde. I love Harvey Hyde. I text with him
all the time. Harvey Hyde went into a hall of
fame and gave an exceptionally long speech, and he said
that his wife told him to keep it short. He's

(14:06):
not gonna listen to her, and Jim, you're gonna listen
to me. He went on and on and then Pete
speech is done, Harvey, it's over. Pete arbagass finally gave
him the cane. But in that speech, Pete, by the way,
was getting closer. Like an eight bit video game. He
just kept moving.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Every time the camera panned away. When it came back,
he was three steps oh no, you blaked her eyes
and opened him he was coming.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Uh. But in that speech, Harvey Hide talked about how
awesome his sponsorship was and how he's got great sponsors
and had all that he can sell it, and Matt
was just being very snarky earlier and saying, what would
those sponsors say if they saw this slovenly lot, this
ragged group.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Is not what I said. I just said, if you
got sixty seventy, take me, what do you think it
would do? Guys at Dodger Stadium And they put him
on diamonds.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
And bad said, sixty seventy tickets is because Pete Arbagast,
in a very asinine way, suggested that the local teams
give the broadcasting Association sixty to seventy tickets so we
could all get together somewhere where we're not all.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Wearing wearing suits and a stuffy atmosphere, but perhaps enjoying
a day at the ballpark.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Avery and nice cold beverage crowd.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
You news sixteen to seventy tickets would do.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
So Mad saying what if sixty or seventy of those
taintcake losers did not say that we're in front of
real sponsors like coores Eto and Oio South.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Point Casino in Vegas.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
From Brian Kennedy, a billboard maker, the guy that put
up all those Reggie Bush songs around town. What would
they say? They would say, that's the r radio. These
people make me sick. Freedom Train Award. But everybody that
gets up on that stage, man, they say the same thing.
They say, pitch me. Look at it. This crowd. They

(16:05):
don't see a bitch shock. They don't see like a
breadline during the depression like you see. They see a
room full of great accomplished broadcasts.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
They do not see Soviet block poland.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
Can we also put the rest at these speeches? Now
moving forward? You know when I was a kid, I
used to have a transistory. Yeah, what do you expecd
When I was in elementary school, my sleeve the cord
went to my ear.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
The other reference we're making is what when Jim Hill
was being introduced, and that's another Hall of Famer by
a Hall of Famer, John Ireland. John Ireland referenced the
Freedom Train also known as the Underground Railroad, to free
the runaway slaves during the Civil War. He talked, he

(16:49):
opined about that for at least two or two or
so minutes. Yeah, so that's why we have the Freedom
Train Award with a picture of a train, an actual train.
But we were it was explained to us in that
speech what it was in case we didn't know. And
then jam l got out there and quoted Martin Luther King,
who's the best speech of that was the chef's kiss?

(17:11):
Beautiful as the kids say, it was the chef's kiss.
So that that's what we're referring to.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
The Freedom Train wasn't a train.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
I didn't want it to be a swamp fog of references.
Matt is referring to the seventy tickets that Armagast asked for.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
It'd be nice if the teams in town could provide
us with sixty seventy tickets sixteen to seventy so at
the ballpark, not you know, indoors stuffy with suits.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
So Matt was referring to that. He was referring to
the sponsorship in which Harvey Hyde was bragging about this
is what I do. And Kates is referring to the
Freedom Train referenced by our colleague, the Voice of the Lakers,
John Ireland, play by play man of the year who
is a Shelby Foot like civil war expert, and it
made me a little jealous. Don't know what the freedom train.

(17:59):
I loved the Civil War, you know, I wanted to
get up there and talk about it. I got a
hundred I want to talk about the Dunker's Church and
Antietam John. So that that what that is what we're
referring to. But honestly, I will say, yes, we could
talk to sweet James about our grievances in the next hour,
but other.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Than that, we will not rehash any of it.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Well, I don't know. This is all we talked about it,
so we're gonna get a bunch of texts about it.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
Did you guys reference Eric Dickerson yesterday? What happened during
the heart Well.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
We weren't there. You were the one that said, hey,
let's get out of here when everybody stands for this
Steve Carroll guy, after I got yelled at for not standing.
So we knew that everyone was going to stand because
someone got yelled at.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Blackmore was nipping at my heels like that coyote that
was running around Dodger Stadium the other night. Like Blackmore
was really hot. Hot take Blackmore, you can leave it anytime.
He wanted to cof and leave at any time. He
wanted a big, giant wide cover me, one of the
camel wide guys he could hide beyond. No one is

(19:00):
gonna say. Can you believe Brian Blackmore left early? Now
we leave in the immediate award after we lost. There's
a bit of a problem, which is why we left
under the cover of a standing ovation. So that is
what we're referring to.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Okay, second down and now.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
But did you guys talk about the gesture that Eric
Dickerson did for Steve.

Speaker 5 (19:21):
Yes yesterday I was working my fourth job.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Dickerson wore his RAMN jacket. He took it off and
put it on Steve.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Thank you, Eric.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
The contrast between Steve's jet black hair and the yellowness
of the jacket was stark, and it was a beautiful scene. Apparently.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
I wish we could have seen it. How it fit
on the shoulders of Steve. You know he's got broad shoulders.
You know these buys me these shirts because of my
broad shoulders. She says, they look good on me.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
Never in your life will you see a more wretched
hive of people more disgusting, unlovable group of ragged vagaball losers.
Then you would have seen yesterday at Lake Cycling. These
were people you could tell we're not members of the club.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Members, We are not members in good standing. Tim Kates,
is I have my checking the mail to them right now? No,
I'm sure you do. David vass is definitely a member
in good standing.

Speaker 5 (20:22):
Oh, he's prepaid for five years.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
And Carlo paid so quickly. We made him a board
member next year.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
I'm gonna borrow my cousin. Evan for years was into
the Civil War reenactment. Oh, you're gonna wear the uniform.
I'm gonna wear the Union uniform and stake out John
Ireland and tell him what it was really like out
there following around General McClellan. He didn't know what it
was like to be of the Army of the Potomac.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Any other references you want to make.

Speaker 5 (20:49):
Here's a musket for you, Ireland.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
I'd like to talk about the Freedom Trade, Matt. Okay,
for those of you that don't know what it was
hold on Ireland. Stand still. I'm gonna pour the powder
in here. I'm gonna rip this thing up with my teeth.
I'm gonna push it down to the thing. I'm gonna
light it up.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
Did you guys talk about Sean Cody almost squeezing the
award in his hand like a cocaine?

Speaker 2 (21:14):
We did, okay, making talked about all of that.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
Cats damn and I missed it.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
Well, what was your experience, like, Timm, you didn't get
to talk about it.

Speaker 5 (21:21):
I had a great time yesterday. I did not go
in there thinking I was gonna win.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
How did you wear a suit?

Speaker 5 (21:25):
Because he was fighting with me?

Speaker 2 (21:27):
You were gonna wear If you did not think you
were gonna win, then why would you wear a suit?

Speaker 3 (21:33):
Wear a suit? And I made fun of him, And
then the next day he was like, I'm not gonna
wear a suit because you and I was like, wear
a suit. So that he did wear the suit.

Speaker 5 (21:41):
I ended up wearing the suit.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
So he went back and forth twice.

Speaker 5 (21:43):
I feel pretty good.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
About it, Like, why would you wear Honestly, Kates, guy,
in the hell would you wear a suit?

Speaker 5 (21:48):
Because it's a formal occasion a suit?

Speaker 2 (21:51):
It's it's at a golf club where guys wear side
this is lakeside, they wear, you know, golf athletic pants
and polos, and white belts.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Why would you wear a suit?

Speaker 2 (22:04):
How would you do it? But wore a suit right now? Luckily,
because all thought they were gonna win. We knew we weren't,
so we wore polos and pains.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Wait a minute, you came here yesterday saying you were
mad that we didn't win, that they hinted that we
would win. Which one is it? They like, I did?
I think you just want to be aggrieved perhaps, And
that's the problem I have, Matt. You know, like we
got to move on.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
All right, we can move on. It's done. We're adults.
We got our award. The Freedom Train Award was presented us.
Picture of the train on there. It's a heavy uh oscar.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Like, wait till I bring the weight of my Civil
War saber next year to the event.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
I'm gonna bring a cannon.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
Did you guys talk about the memorabilia dudes standing out
in front of the country club.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
Yes, there were two guys. They wanted they get past
the game. They wanted Joe Davis's autography wasn't there. It
was sad. I was like, vassas here.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
They're like, we know you think it's of all the
autographs Joe Davis.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
He's the most famous broadcaster there. He's top of the pops,
calls the world series man more famous than Harvey Head slightly.
Harvey Hede's weekend work is commendable. I don't know if
you know about some of these sponsors. Got South Point Casino,
You got Course, I don't even ask you, got Hamburger Mary's.
I just dial them up and they say, we know
what we're gonna get, and they're in. I don't have

(23:29):
to tell them what time, I don't have to tell
them what station. What I'd like to see is that
group sitting all in one place and the sponsors are
there looking and the camera pans over.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
What you see is Southern California radio. What you see
right here is an example. This is a representation. I
wore the radio in Southern California.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
At these slovenly sloppy people as an example of how
not to be.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Now, you're a principle.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
If you wake up in the morning and you look
like this in the mirror, I suggest put something else hot.

Speaker 5 (24:08):
Other than the Angels.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
Which professional team is just giving away sixty to seventy
tickets exactly Angel City?

Speaker 2 (24:14):
You know we had I think you said they had two.
We had two outings in the past year where teams
were in it. If we pay our dues, we'll be
part of those outings. I think if you pay your dues,
you get emails that say we'll be amongst the wretchet
enter the lottery for tickets. Gosh, you know, I thought
that was the group of people that were standing under

(24:35):
Jesus's cross when he was getting crucified. But instead that's
a group of really doubt trodden broadcasters.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
Sports radio in southern California. God, those people are so primitive.
They just poop and keep walking. They don't even know
how to wipe their behind.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
You know, perhaps the other teams in town find sixty
seventy tickets to provide to us so we can have
a day at the ballpark instead of the stuffy atmosphere
of a conference room dressed in these types of clothes.
Be nice to sit back and crack a cold one.
Did he just say sixty to seventy. I believe that's
what he said.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Next year, if I get it, if they crack a
mic for me, I would to go, hey, folks, I'd
like to take a moment to talk about Shiloh. We'll
be back with James Worthy. He'll join us next the
pitch of some money show on AM five seventy LA Sports.
I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed that we talked about it again.

(25:38):
For shame. We've made it even easier to take LA
Sports with you.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Make AM five seventy or your favorite AM five seventy
LA Sports podcast, a preset on the iHeartRadio.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
App using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Petro shand Money AM five to seventy LA Sports live
everywhere on the radio app. Tonight, we do have Clipper
basketball against the Wiz as they continue their ascent to
get back to five hundred seven games under right now.
Tip off at seven thirty, pre game at six thirty.
That is mildly interesting. Certainly of much more concern to
the greater Los Angeles area will be this next conversation

(26:17):
as James Worthy is brought to you by the twenty
twenty six Ford f one fifty from California's best selling
truck brand. It is time to see Ford in a
new light.

Speaker 6 (26:29):
Matt.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
When I see two agents in a heated conversation over
something that happens in a podcast, it makes me want
to steal away of Jesus. Certainly, can let me just
play the game?

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Why'd you say that? Why would you say that?

Speaker 3 (26:42):
It's always interesting with the Lakers and following the Lakers,
it's always fun. And why not follow them with the
greatest man ever Emmy Award winning championship star at the
pro and college level, a Laker legend, a Hall of Famer.
You see him there on your screen on Spectrum Sports

(27:05):
and at LA period, and he joins us here on
your radio period on the Petrosen Money Show. And we're
always very grateful and feel unworthy of the attention of
James Worth. I mean, you come back, takes us come
back every time. Find out his perspective. What's cracking James,
how are you? Thanks for doing it today?

Speaker 6 (27:25):
What's happened in family? How you guys doing.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
We're doing all right? Both fam in the house and
uh we're doing We're doing okay. James and the Lakers
get a win last night. But that's not the story.
The big story is what this guy said on a
podcast and then this guy's agent is upset about it. Uh,
you know, I don't know what your guys agents used
to do in the.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Stands, just a straight each other.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Aaron Burr was, uh, what do you make of that situation?
And I don't know. Is it a distraction? That's the
word we use when stuff like this happens.

Speaker 6 (28:00):
Give me the backdrop, give me the back So make
sure you're Yeah. So Rich pond some stuff with Rich Paul.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yeah, yeah, he's on a pod. He says that the
Lakers should trade Austin Reeves for Jaren Jackson, that Luca
will be better off with a big man, and then
Lebron has to say, I didn't say that, and then
Austin Reeves and Rich Austin reeves agent and Rich Paul's
agent have words. On the side of.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
Austin is Jed Clampett from the show He's Business.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
So I think he was like, you keep my client's
name out your mouth kind of thing, and it just,
you know, was a big to do.

Speaker 6 (28:36):
What do you think, James, man, that might be above
my pig grade, don't I don't know, man, you know,
because I don't know the Pacifics, I think, uh, you know, uh, agents,
you know, they they they they have to like promote
things that they want and try to promote their players.

(28:59):
I have no idea, what what the hell is going on,
and you know, uh, it's just it's I don't know.
I have no idea, man, I heard something about somebody
asked me about Rich Paul and the golf course, and
I said, I don't know, I have don't have no idea.
So you know, hey, it's you know, it sucks that

(29:20):
agents are, you know, fighting one another to keep the
word out of my mouth. You know, I don't I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
Well we paraphrase, we don't actually know what. That's just
kind of what we like. I don't know what they said.
I mean, we could act out a whole thing for.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
You because we can take up as much as we want,
you know, he said after your mom, And it was really, no,
we don't.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
We really, we really don't know. But but it is
interesting because you know, back in the day, agents didn't
have really podcast platform. I don't know, did anybody want
to talk to Dennis Gilbert? Did he do radio shows?
I guess he did.

Speaker 6 (29:50):
Nope, you know, nobody really was even talking to David Falk.
I had David Falk for a little while, you know,
Michael George, I just that's why, you know, that's why
we asked the questions. I'm like, I don't know. I
don't have an answer for what agents are talking about
or why that. You know, it's just it's crazy. I
have no idea.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
I guess to put it into a generality then, James,
is there is there such a thing? Is it real?
Our distractions? Real things like this? Is it bad for
a basketball team? Are professional athletes above this? And it
just makes for great you know dialogue on sports talk radio.
Where does that stuff get into the locker room and

(30:27):
affect guys? You know, stuff that is printed, that is
written about, that is talked about, and you find yourself
like if you're Austin Reeves in a storyline about being
traded to Memphis when you're not doing anything but trying
to rehab and get back out on the court.

Speaker 6 (30:41):
Yeah, yeah, Look, it definitely gets in the locker room.
It gets if it's on social media today in today's world, Yeah,
you're going to hear about it, whether it's true or not.
You just can't help it. Even if you don't, even
if you are not on social media, somebody's gonna come
up and ask you, like, hey, you know, what do
you think about getting traded to this or here or there? So, yeah,

(31:04):
they hear it. There's no question it's part of their life.
You know. Back in my day, it was it was
a secret. You know, we didn't we didn't even allow
our agents to talk about you know, unless it was
you know, close to the trade deadline or something. But
that was always like unknown. You didn't like have that
out there. You might be rumors. But today, man, it's
like it's it's another you know, obstacle to overcome. How

(31:29):
do you train your players to not pay attention to
the to the mess, you know, even though it's coming
from you know, one of your teammates agents. You know,
it's it's that's got to be that's got to be tough,
or maybe it isn't for these players. Maybe it just
rubs off of their shoulders. But it's just something else
you've got to answer to when you walk into the

(31:51):
locker room and then you got to look across and
see a teammate of yours that that's involved. So it's
kind of it's it's it's difficult.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
What about I know, where do you come out on,
you know, a coach being honest, maybe being a little
critical of a team when he's in his presser, versus
just kind of giving generic answers and doing that behind
closed doors. I mean, you've been around JJ long enough
to now know he tends to wear his emotions on
his sleeves. He can get a little hot, his pressers

(32:21):
can get a little kurt if you will, Like, do
you think when you're winning, it's great, when you know,
when you got the number one defense in the NBA,
it's great. But when things are getting little sideways and
you're losing three in a row and you can see
hof set he is, does that is that a problem
at all? Or do you think? You know, it's important
for JJ Reddick to be the guy that we knew
he was when he got hired for this job.

Speaker 6 (32:42):
Gotta be the guy he was, you know, and if
that includes wearand it on your shoulders, if that includes
you know, criticized and players that need to be criticized,
holding them accountable. I heard he had a team meeting
before the last game. Is not always pretty. So yeah,

(33:03):
you have to be who you are as a coach.
I don't think you can ever have your emotions because
that's what makes you the coach that you are. You know,
throwing clipboard, punching, you know, through you know through walls
and things like that. That's if that's who you are,
that's what that's what makes you a great coach. You know,
I've seen some coaches that just go at you, and

(33:27):
he's got to let that out. As a coach, you
can't hold that in. You know, some press conferences you
have a more mild manner. You might be able to
control yourself, but then there are sometimes you come out
of that that game, you haven't had a chance to
completely calm down yet, and it comes out.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
Geez, I'll tell you, I get pretty angry all the time.
You're pretty riled up, just like Reddick. I had a
coach once that punched through like a whatever called the
whiteboard and his hand got cut so bad he was
bleeding profusely and they had to stitch him up and
he came out late for the third quarter because he

(34:06):
cut his hand. What about the Laker big man, James,
how do you feel like Ayton is coming along? There's
been some criticism of kind of his engagement, and then
behind him just Jackson Hayes.

Speaker 6 (34:24):
You know, I think together they form a pretty good,
you know position. You know, I personally I like everything
Adan's done this year. You got to feed big guy.
You know, sometimes when the ball's not moving early in
the offense, he doesn't get the touches. I'm not saying
he wants to score all the time. Sometimes you just

(34:45):
want to be involved. And when Ayton gets it right
there at the free throw line or in that paints,
he's pretty pretty you know efficient. He can't produce, you
got to use him. Those same thing with Ruey and
I think last night Luca, you know, he he realized
that he got guys involved a little bit earlier because

(35:05):
he can always you know, get his whatever he wants to.
So it was a you know, perfect storm last night.
But Aiden's got to be a guy. Otherwise he will stand.
He will he won't be as engaged, and then then
that takes away from the defense. That also takes away
from you know, his engagement or blocking shots and being
a rem protector. Some guys you have to engage, and

(35:27):
he's one of those. Really is another one, really is
probably the most versatile guy on the team as far
as uh, you know, shooting threes, big range game, having physicality,
uh you know, uh, he and so I think they're
learning that they got to learn how to you know,
engage players. We got the Big three, especially when Austin
comes back. But the new NBA is like threats from

(35:50):
every position and the bench, you know, and I think
that they're getting to that hopefully, you know.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Just kind of speaking of of aiden when you were
far enough into this summer, halfway through the season, we
should know by now, is this is this a team
that you think could get to I don't think they
need to get to like top ten, but could they
get to a round league average defense? Obviously, Sacramento was
a disaster from the three point line, and it does
seem like they lead that unguarded a little bit too often.

(36:16):
But do they have the pieces? Do they have the personnel, James,
you think to at least be like a league average defense.

Speaker 6 (36:25):
You know, I think we saw something the other night.
There was a stat they were thirteen one or fourteen
and one and clutch time, so when they need to
win last four minutes, fourth quarter. They're really good defensively,
and they were decent at the beginning of the season,
but they were, you know, sub five hundred teams the

(36:46):
teams that they should be. I think if they get
their defense together and I know they can do it,
I think that they can get you know, move up
you know, several spots and compete every night. He's got
to be consistent. You don't have to be the best
defensive team, but you gotta you gotta be to be

(37:08):
consistent with your defense. You can't, you know, just give
up a ton of threes. I mean the other night
was an exception. They hit a lot of threes, but
they had a lot of open threes too. And when
you're turning the ball over, you're giving up a lot
of threes that way too. And when you're taking bad
long threes yourself long rebounds lead to you know. So

(37:28):
there's a lot of things they can control that could
that they could be a better defensive team. Uh, And
I think they can. They had the material. Aden is
a he's a decent he's a decent, you know, real protector.
He offers a lot hazing. You know, he see block
shots from time to time. We take a lot of charges,
you know, before they get to the rim. Uh. Austin
Reeves does that very well. I think Marcus smart Man

(37:51):
the built. So they have the material. It's debate well
and they got to get guys together for a long
period of time. I mean, the injury sucked. It just
really sucking. Your role players have to now become starters,
and they kind of lose their chemistry a little bit.
It's not an excuse, it just it just happens. So

(38:12):
they get everybody back healthy. It's like getting Gay back.
He came back at some big threes last night. That's important.
You know, Vanderbilt on the floor with his defense along
with Market, You've got to play that guy. I don't
mind playing Smith sometime when you need him, when you
need a when you need a heater. But I think
getting guys back on the floor, getting healthy, a little

(38:32):
bit of practice time, I know they can become a
better defensive team.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
Last night, Lebron listed off the myriad things of what
he does to prepare for the game, all these hyper
barracks things and different compression chambers and different stuff. Sounds
like it's all very expensive. What was your pregame routine,
James back in the day.

Speaker 6 (38:58):
Oh, well, wake up, you know, I mightna have a
little Bradford go to shoot around. We had shoot around
around eleven. Then I come home, you know, have a
meal probably about one o'clock, and uh, listen to a
little jazz, you know some music. Take a little nap

(39:18):
and then I wake up, have a snack and be
with the arena by six o'clock for a seven thirty
game and go to work. No Chambers, baby.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
To work, get the job at the job.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Done, work man.

Speaker 6 (39:32):
Sometimes if I miss my snack, I'd go get me
a Wapper Junior on Manchester on the way of the game.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
Uh, that's like a dixie cup of water for someone
like you.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
Can't be waited down. Gotta jump up, and he gotta
jump up and down and take on take on Dominque, William.

Speaker 6 (39:51):
Whopper Junior, take off the tomato and nail man. I
was ready to go. That's a that's a free game
for champions right there.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
Ma.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
That's why he's in the Hall of Fame. No mayo,
no tomato. James Worthy, ladies and gentlemen, a champion of
the people. Had on the golf course today having a
squash with Laker rumors. We appreciated James, and we'll be
back with Mark Petros and Money some reaction for you
know what we've been doing so far as to what
your knowledge is on the Petros and Money show.

Speaker 6 (40:21):
You're home.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
The Dodgers and James Worthy on M five seventy LA Sport.

Big thank you to James Worthy. The other James will
join us next hour. Sweet James Bergener the air. Are
grievances you're out who we're gonna sue or send a strongly?

Speaker 3 (41:03):
How much bitterness on this show? And part of the
problem is the way we started anger about the Southern
California broad Acasters Association.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
Good now that I got the Freedom Train Award from Tim.

Speaker 4 (41:14):
Kates Petros, Why do you say that with a tone
like this is new?

Speaker 5 (41:20):
Oh the bitterness on the show? Where have you been
for the last twenty years?

Speaker 3 (41:23):
Well, let me read you what that bitterness reaps. Toyota
dealers are gonna support us and sow bitter seeds.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
We're gonna support our grievances.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
Trees grow and they bear bitter fruit. It's bitter fruit,
hey pee. When Kates walked into that sports broadcaster reward
thing with his tater tot legs, was he offered a
booster seat or a kid's menu with puzzles coloring chicken
nuggets and maggo and cheese? You like that, Tim?

Speaker 5 (42:00):
That a lot of bitterness where you come from?

Speaker 3 (42:02):
Exactly? This says Kate's wore a suit so he could
so he could shame call it even more for showing
up dressed like John Rambo all he wanted. I didn't
come here to rescue Rambo from you. I came here
to rescue you from him? What was tim meadiot? The
award show? Where it is he had mashed potatoes and

(42:24):
gravy all over his chipmunk like face. You like that, Tim?

Speaker 5 (42:30):
A lot of bitterness?

Speaker 3 (42:30):
Think about that.

Speaker 5 (42:31):
I have a lot of bitterness.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
I'm gonna wear a suit?

Speaker 5 (42:35):
Why because everybody else was dork?

Speaker 6 (42:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (42:39):
You ninety of the people were in suit.

Speaker 4 (42:41):
Did you guys eat, by the way, because as soon
as I got there, I was told you had to
hurry anything.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
I did not eat. I was too humiliated.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
This says really, really, really you bitches are still complaining
about award an award that you didn't win. Really, I
hope that you guys take the Freedom Award but returned
that son of a big sideways and shove it so
far up your ash. Really, congratulations, that's your consolation precede.

(43:10):
You see what we reap. You see what we reap
when we sold bitter seeds. Been in sports media? Oh,
this is from an actual sports media person. I've been
in sports media in southern California for over thirty five
years and have avoided that effing luncheon every year. True,
where's my Freedom Train Award? And I've gladly, unashamedly sent

(43:31):
employees to attend it like it was pickets charge. What's
with the music?

Speaker 5 (43:37):
It's bittersweet?

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Oh, I thought we had to get out.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
We uh, we had not been in a decade plus,
that had been a while. Well, yeah, my dad got
drunk and started yelling at the stage twenty years ago,
some time ago.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
I showed up and just remember the one guy asking
Clay Helton about OJ. If OJ shows up to practice,
are you gonna ask him to leave?

Speaker 1 (44:00):
Eve?

Speaker 6 (44:01):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (44:01):
I was like, I gotta come to these things more often.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
Wait a minute, the show that is hosted by a
man with a bain mask to sleep so he doesn't die,
and a guy who surfs and get gets beat up
by ebos on the beach and drugs up local dogs
with gummies produced by a guy with no legs, no gallbladder,
and a mister potato head. Come on, you guys aren't
winning anything. We were nominated though, and.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
I don't nominated and encouraged to show up repeatedly by
its organizer.

Speaker 3 (44:35):
I don't think Kates is like mister potato head.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
No, now the tato todd legs did you write? You
guys really got the sense you're gonna win, Like from
Pete Arbogas's messages.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
Like Wing Wing, you guys are gonna win. That's what
Matt Keith's saying over and over again.

Speaker 2 (44:50):
The last time he reached out repeatedly, and it wasn't him,
it was Chris Roberts. He reached out repeatedly. Late, Chris Robins.
Late Chris Roberts was like, I'd like you guys to
be there. It'd be great if you you know what
I mean? Guys?

Speaker 3 (45:03):
All right, one more, one more text about the bitterness
we sowed, and then a palate cleansing text. This says,
this person got an award. That person got an award.
We didn't get an award, and we're in the association. Pete,
We're gonna give the SCSB a special shout out, like

(45:24):
right when we get on the air.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
That is an accurate state.

Speaker 3 (45:27):
We've been giving them a special shout out for seven hours.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
That is an accurate statement. I said, I'm good. I
can move on, But I do want to ask Sweet
James perhaps a legal question about our about the event.
If that's okay, I can put a pin in it
until then, But I do believe I'd like to seek
some legal record to.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
Use legal terminology.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
I'll allow it. I'll allow it.

Speaker 3 (45:50):
Matt. This says, I really need to listen to you
guys less, because now I'm using stupid phrases from your
show in my daily vernacular and it's causing me problems.
Just the other day, I asked my wife to stroke
a check for the rest. The look of confusion and
disgust and resentment on her face chills me to the

(46:12):
bone every time I think of it.

Speaker 9 (46:14):
You're telling me there's not one person who can stroke
a twenty million dollar check, right now you're telling me
there's not one person who can stroke a twenty million
dollar check right now. We need to find one of
these really rich people in this city to step up
and stroke a check.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
Stroke a check. Would you just stroke a check.

Speaker 9 (46:33):
We need to find one of these really rich people.

Speaker 3 (46:36):
And how much I respect the hard work you've done it.

Speaker 9 (46:38):
Check and I'll do everything should to make you the
most famous person in the city.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
Freighter, stroke a check, and I'm gonna make you famous.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
Stroke a check.

Speaker 9 (46:49):
You're telling me there's not one person who can stroke
a twenty million dollar check right now.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
Apparently yes, because no one has done it yet for you, Kenny,
you lost Sam Levity Lsu and who saw Long Street's
gonna bag them out? What?

Speaker 9 (47:01):
Yeah, we need to find one of these really rich
people from the kids to step up and stroke a check.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
Hussan Long Street Man, stroke a check for Hussan. This
text also says Papa Murphy's, which is the book from
yesterday's number of the day, this is and this is
from Idaho. Papa Murphy's in our poverty state of Idaho
is number one because people could use the food stamps.

(47:30):
There ah, there you go. That would explain it. And
this one says Vance Finance. My ass petrosen muddy balaclav
ideas was worth six figures than Kate's could have one
with the cutouts for nostrils, and Matt could have his

(47:51):
lustrous fluffy locks of hair attacks the top of hisnds,
and Ronnie's could be sponsored by Low's. Now, when somebody
actually has an idea that could work, it gets shot
down out of the sky.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
None of my ideas could work. We'd be land barons
right now in the South Bank, Yes we would. Our
first piece of land was worth millions. We could have
picked it up for a cool eight hundred and sixty grand.
Stroke a check, Matt, stroke a check. You could have
one of these.

Speaker 9 (48:19):
Really rich people in this city to step up and
stroke a check.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
Nobody stepped up, Nobody stroked it.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
You pooped on the idea. How good is an idea
with poop on it? Not a lot of stroke a
check for that.

Speaker 3 (48:33):
Not a lot of positivity here. Not after the loss yesterday.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
No our boss even reached out to us and said
he was humiliated after hearing about our loss.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
And a man like we can't afford to be humiliated,
and just to show you that I flesh and blood.
It's not all dollars. It sents. She was beautiful, she
could sink, she could dance, and here comes Johnny Fontaine
with his olive skin and his guinea. John said, right

(49:11):
at my position, cannot get on a ford. You're the
one that wrote a whole story about how we have
the stink of losers on.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Us now, and that's what he heard, and he reached
out to him.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
Thanks, I'm gonna spend an hour on my show talking about.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Our losers to acknowledge our deficiencies.

Speaker 6 (49:29):
You know.

Speaker 3 (49:30):
Self scouting, it's right calling in the football world. Every
time we're in single back, we run Q eight. We'll
be right back with mar Petros and body we're never
saw coming up.
