Petrosen Money a five to seventy LA Sports. We are

and a half hour show today. Clipper basketball Tonight Adam
oslind will be along at six thirty pm. Clippers against
the Pacers Indiana, one of, if not the worst team
and all the NBA. I believe it.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I thought only the Lakers played the worst team in
the NBA every night.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Well, they got a big win last night, knocked off
the Pelicans sans Zion Johnson, who I don't know if
you saw the first was out there oron Williamson, but
he was out there running around, he was did you
see oh he was out there?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Oh yeah I saw.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Oh I thought I had heard he was hurt.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
No, I have sawned him.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Oh you saw them? Did you see the watch.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
The games, Matt? Oh right, I'm like Sidonoy. I watch basketball.
I know what's going on. And if you guys watch
other teams other than the Lakers, you would know how
competitive the West is. You simpletons, you clowns, you bit
boys out there.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Will you file me into the bit boy clowns, simpleton?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Category, what's the column you belong in? Because all I
watch is the hot take debate shows to get what
I want to know.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Oh when I get when I go upstairs and then
I go back into my basement in the morning to
feed the lizard. I see out of euphemism, No, I
actually have to feed the lizard.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Brusard and squid Word are up there with their kendall
white guy and I'm just like, what up.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I can't wait to turn this on, exactly turn it up.
But I want to hear what they're saying now. Normally
I don't want to hear what they're They.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Asked questions like is Trey Young a Hall of Famer?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Not yet, but if he were to make it past
the second round of the playoffs and back to back seasons,
then I think he might be into the kind of
elite category those of the conversation here. But the Lakers
did win last night and Zion was out there this
up and around. Did you see the Zion Williamson take
(02:44):
on first take that is making the rounds? Because I
don't want to quote first take unless it's a take
like this.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I did not see this, Matt when I turned on
my TV because I was watching uc LA.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
You had squid word. I had squid word, White Kendall.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Chris brew Brusard who says things like brock.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Purty and they used and when they put his name
on the thing like they put you know, his quote
the Chiron and it's just b R o U.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Brew Brusard and I was like, who's that? And I
was nicknames sad of b R E W.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
B Rowe copy that He's the be part of the
odd couple with Rob Parker right here on Fox Sports ratio.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
One of them is an ordained minister. The other is
the Minister of singles at the local strip club. I
believe it is what one of the promos were for
the Odd Couple. Uh stephen A. Smith on first take
and I wasn't actually watching. I just saw that, don't lie, Matt, Yeah,
you're right.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Do you want to hear what stephen I has to say?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I flipped over from Kelly and Mark and I got it.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I'm intrigued about his opinion.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
He uh he said the Zion Williamson's issues stem from
him being a food addict. Oh yes, I did see
this and he got busted for hiding food. Yeah, under
his bed, under his bed.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
He said. There's heroin addicts, there's alcoholics, and this guy
is addicted to food.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Who is doing the bed check where he's hide How
does he hide food?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Where?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Who is he hiding the food from from?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Is it on the road from the pelicans? Brass?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
But do they come into his bedroom and check to
see where the Zion?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
You better not have any food in here now. It's
kind of like that The Biggest Loser where they monitor
every moment of your consumption.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Like does he have to have his is his estate
being monitored by the Pelicans to see if he's hoarding food.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I don't know. I mean, were they doing that in Dallas?
Would look at Donchicic when he was all fat? I
mean they traded him, didn't they. Like he's hoarding food,
He's putting it under his bed. He's taking home all
the Welch's fruit snacks and he can't help himself. That's
what I like. Do you think he wakes up surrounded
by like rappers and like bags of chips and like
the done like binging and purging, like the Dana Plato
(05:03):
Different Strokes and Orexia Beliema episode.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I would I would picture it just like that.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
I just can't figure.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Because I'll never forget watching Dana Plato and Different Strokes
where they did the Bolivia episode where everybody goes to
bed Arnold and Willis and mister Drummond. She freaking attacks
the fridge and she sticks her hand in the peanut
butter and just shoves it into her face, And I
was like, oh my god, this is a serious sitcom
episode right now. So if it's like that, if that's
(05:31):
what Zion's dealing with, they should have been able to
beat the Lakers last night. Well, how does Stephen a
know that they're finding bed on the foot on a mee,
like did they just did the Pelicans force you to
have a roommate? Now we are on the road, much
about Zion already because of the porn stars that he dated,
told that he loved, and then they left them, and
then they were left to their druthers and social media
(05:55):
saying all the kinky things that he likes to happen
during copulation and things of that nature. So he's already
been laid bare.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Which one's wondering he wants you to frost a cake
and then slip I don't really know ye serve him
that cake?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I don't really know what he's into. But the truth
is if you're going under his bed and finding a
Salisbury stake out there at the Ritz Carlton in Denver,
I don't know what he's doing.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I don't understand a what that even means. How do
you hoard food when you're an NBA player who's on
the road at five star hotels, you have your own room,
there's a meal room that's catered all the time. Is
that people just seeing him sneak snacks out of the
meal room, like when it's supposed to be closed, and
he comes down at midnight and he grabs the fig
(06:40):
bars and the chips and the cookie plate. Like, don't
I don't understand what that means. I think it means,
particularly that you're hiding it under your bed.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I think it means Matt, that he's a sick man,
he is a food at it, and that he's addicted
to food. He's a food at that is hiding food
under his bed? Was the claim, what.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Are we gonna do today? Well, we got this news
about this guy. We got something Max Crosby, the McDuffie
guy got traded.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I got something. Does I heard that there is food?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Cyon Williamson is hiding food under his bed? Excuse me?
He's doing what?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
That's right? I said it. We do have great sports
talk for everybody today. David Vassey will join us Great
sports Talk. James Worthy is going to join us.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
We'll ask him if he had to hide food under
his bed, like, how do.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
You well, I don't think that's I mean, hiding anything
in a hotel. Who's checking would be unsavory to talk about?
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Is you know who's checking?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Matt?
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Some guy getting paid one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
a year by the Pelicans. All his job to do
is to follow well, look, I mean, die on around
and see what snacks or anything.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
If you're paying this guy thirty million dollars a year
to get hurt because he's fat, goes a fat and
he's on the road shoving like loaves of bread in
his mouth and ordering like fetcini alfredo at three in
the morning at the at the four seasons, then you
might want to, you know, and then bet check and
(08:20):
he's hiding the bed under the food. Dammit, he's hiding
the food under the bed. And the next thing, you know,
that guy that makes one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
a year supplements his income by calling Stephen A. Smith
on his burner phone and telling him that Zion's horning food, hiding.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Food under his bed, talking twinkies like. Joel Myers was right.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Joel Myers was right when he called.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Him fat in the first interview he was drafted to interview.
So you got a really babble of beating, don't you say?
They say this is maybe a weight issue. Maybe is
a issue. He did not take kindly to that. He
did not probably because it's true. It's it's true. It
is absurd. Well, it's one of the more surreal clips
(09:04):
I've ever seen. I don't know, Matt how absurd is
and I mean you yourself, over the years have discussed
taken a sleeve of Girl Scott Cookies and hiding them
from the family last night, eating them as quickly as
you could, of fruity cheerios in bed, right, and hunch
down like you're masturbating, you know, eating all fast so
no one can see it, like a raccoon looking back.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
If somebody catches you, like.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
You know, I mean, and then when they come, I
just closed the box and throw it across the room.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I mean, you know, Zion's a young guy. You know,
we're all human.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Certainly he's hungry, and Stephen a out at him and
he delivers it. Kate's I don't know if you can
dig up the clip. He he does it in standard Listen.
I do not say this lightly. This does not bring
me joy to share this right now. But I have
been told by members inside their organization.
Speaker 2 (09:55):

Orleans is not a great place to be, no, I mean,
it is just really not. Every everywhere you look, there's

me pleasure to share.

in his mind.

You got people that are alcoholics, you got people that
the drug addicts and stuff like that.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
What was Zion's problem? Food to addict?
Speaker 6 (10:41):
The joke was everybody in New Orleans that cooked. It
could be everybody from a restaurant, a chef to your grandmama.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
All right, anybody that cook knew about Zion Wimson, and
he knew them. They were on a first name basis,
just rolling over.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
And literally I'm here thinking it was a joke, and
somebody told me to go on the air and point
out how he got busted hiding food under his bed.

Speaker 6 (11:32):
What somebody told and point out how he got busted
hiding food under his bed.

rice box? Stephen a source down in New Orleans. I

(12:24):
too much. Now everybody New Orleans, it cooks.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Food, alcoholics. You got people to the drug addicts.

ate a lot. Okay, you even have rumors and and
and literally I'm gonna thinking it was a joke. And
somebody told me to go on the air and point
out how he got busted hiding food under his bed.
This is the kind of stuff that was happening.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Hiding food. You know, all you ever have to do
is ask somebody, what what what happened? When did the
when did the scales tip? On the twenty four to
seven Sports media it could be the Zion Williamson food
contraband controversy of March twenty twenty six. That really pushed
(14:04):
thing over the edge. James Worthy will discuss it all
with us next.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
God Alcoholics, you got drug addicts.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
What is Zion Williamson, whether the drug addicts the stuff
like that? What was Zion's problem?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Well, you could also maybe argue that he's a hormonger
too with his porn star past, and that's a legitimate
weird request.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
Foo was Zion's problem?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yes, thank you. Daniel Jeremiah, who's a more moderate eater,
will join us in the second hour, and David Vassa
with his dietary restrictions, will be on the five o'clock hour.

and a half hour show.

Whether you like food that's not Mitch from Jersey though,
or do not. Tim Kats is here. The shine of
the wedding is a kind of a worn off. I
don't know about, guys. I was gathered around the table
last night. Many of people were listening to the podcast
for Monday. Everybody was loving the wedding talk. So appreciate
all the nice comments. Oh good, yeah, did did Ribby
(15:11):
get mad? I told everybody about the Bob's big boy tattoo?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
She got on her neck.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
We didn't get to that far into the podcast. I
turned it off before the room.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
The groom had not seen the big boy tattoo until
he lifted that veil, and that was a big moment.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
We wonder why he had to look at surprise on
his face.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I was like, yep, that's it.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Anything else, Kates.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
If you guys notice across our building here thirty four
hundred West Olive in Burbank, California, the San Fernando Valley,
there is a building that's identical to us that its
address is thirty three hundred West Olive, right across from us,
and it's been sitting vacant since COVID.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
There used to be a record company in there.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
They were there and CW was there. Yep, and they
have saying one frog.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
We would see him doing his high knees that frog
on the on the sixth floor and I know that's
the w B.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Leave me alone.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
There's a new tenant that is moving in. It was
just announced last week. Do you guys hear who's moving in?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Why don't you hit the timpany and tell the people
because this could be a big deal. It's gonna be
ad shows right on top of that to be big
for us.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
It's gonna be huge because this is a station. I
know you guys watch not just during the holiday season
with all their great holiday movies, but year round. And
for a lot of the listeners it is year round
must watch TV the Hallmark Channel. This's movie in next
door and I bring it up. I bring it up
because you.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Think we got a leg up on a Chargers touchdown touchdown.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Well, I have to tell you yesterday there were some
executives from Hallmark walking around the building, our building. They
were here on the fourth floor with KFI and am
Fi seventy a half boards.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
How could you tell it was then? Where they wholesomely
dressed like people that look like they've just come out
of a church or something.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Bengo plus they have poll polos on that said a
Hallmark Media. But they were walking around. They went on
Conway Show believed or not already got in on that.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
How about that?
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Right, Conway? Hey sniffing around.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
He can get him in, He's got no chance. He's
the dirtiest dog here. And then he does his fake
wholesome Tesla SpaceX videos and acts like he's getting one
over on everybody, we know what you're really like.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I got news for you, man, Holiday horse track, no
chance that things get in the green light horse Track.
I ran dig Dog, it's about a gambling a ding dog.
His father is a famous comedian, ding Dot.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
I ran into one of the guys in the hallway
as I was leaving the Hallmark guys, the Hallmark guys.
There was multiple people and Sharon Bell You introduced me
to him and I said, oh wow. I said, uh,
Holiday touchdown, Yeah, the Chiefs and the Bills, And he goes,
oh wow, you guys watch I said, not only do
we watch.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Soundbites from that, we play on the radio. And to
be fair, the Chiefs one had a lot more momentum
and a lot more steam than the Bills one, right,
and the Bills one we could have done a lot
more on, and people asked us to do a lot
more on. I don't know if it was the Dodger
champion Chip. I think it was my panic attacks Matt's schedule.
So I don't know what kept us from well Matt.
(18:03):
Usually it's me that brings up the Hallmark dannel and
waves it around in Matt's face. Indeed, but we didn't
do it.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Start though, there was no Donna Kelsey in it. It
wasn't like the Chiefs one.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Well, wait a minute, it had Kelso.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Frank Kelso was in it. No, the safety with Mark Kels. Yeah,
Mark Kelso. Asker it had Andre Reid. I mean it
did have star power. Jim Kelly was in it. It
had Buffalo Bill star powder.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Okay, I asked the guy I know, was that Hailey
Steinfeld nude scene in the shower lathering up?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
I didn't care about that.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
I said, uh, you guys, please tell me there's more.
Please please tell me that you're gonna be wet in
the appetite of all these sports fans to watch Hallmark
And he said, guess what.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Is gonna be the voice of the Bolts, the inspiring
Matt Smith's story.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
I guess what's coming?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Oh he already? Can you this isn't uh embargoed. You
can say this on the air.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Well, he wouldn't tell me which team, but he said
another series is coming. He says, twenty twenty six holiday
touchdown with an NFL team.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
He is coming. Thanks for nothing. What they're going to
do another one? It's a huge an admiration with the NFL.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Well, he wouldn't tell me which team though, why not? Well,
I started guessing, how about the Raiders. He's like, no, no, no,
no chance, and he goes, I'm a big Chargers fan,
so I know the voice of the bull is it?
I say, Chargers?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I could see the Raiders one being like, it's a
hooker at the Bunny Ranch and she loves the Raiders
and her hooker room is filled with Raider gear. And
then like one like a pr guy for the Raiders,
goes out there and visit I used to run it.
They end up like letting all the hookers come to
a suite at Allegiance. They meet Mark Davis.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
I don't like the storyline.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
It's not like where this is going. I like where
this is going.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
So I asked to go to the vape shop, said
the Chargers. You know you got justin Herbert now in
his new relationship.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
That's good. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
He wouldn't say yes or no, he just got looking
out for it. Twenty six.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
We've had a lot of bs ideas that go nowhere
on this show. Right now, where do they usually come from?
Right now? We make the pact. Okay, let's put our
heads together. Let's get ourselves a treatment, an elevator, pitch
a pilot script, and we're going to deliver. Everybody's coming
(20:14):
to Hallmark for a holiday film. No, that's the zig
oh we zach. Fourth of July, guys, it's time to
own the Midsummer on the Hallmark channel.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
It's time for holiday explosion.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
It's it's it's scantily clad, wholesome family relationship rom com style.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I don't think the trio of us we can do it.
Whether or not we bring Ronnie or not, that's up.
It's like brand ringo.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
That's what I read.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I don't think any combination of the people on this
show could survive a pitch meeting in one piece. I
don't think. I think we'd get thrown out in a
very short amount of I just I don't I got this.
I doubt our ability.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
If not, Tim Conway is going to take advantage of it,
and we can't. We cannot let that bat like you said,
he'll crash and burn it. We can't let it happen.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Though not like all our ideas which shoot off into
the sky, if we had any follow through.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Now the follow through is waiting for us it's just
one hundred yards away.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I'm sorry, Matt. My follow through is preparing for the
next show.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
One hundred yards. I can see their offices like I
can throw a rock at them.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, now, you're like Sarah Palin Hallmark TV. I can
see it from my office.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
We can put signs in the window. But just because
their next door doesn't mean we have a leg up
at a pitch meeting.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I mean, we're the Dodger Station. There's no bigger brand
in the world when it comes to sports. Right now,
if we want to build a shoulder midsummer feel good
rom com Hallmark movie around the Boys in Blue, who
better to do it than us?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Nobody? You're right, I mean, but I don't know if
we can get an audience. I think we're a little
too rascally for Hallmarks. I just walk right in.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Now.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
If it was Oxygen one of those hot Wife, Hot
and Bothered Housewife shows where a dude comes into the
house and starts railing the daughter and the wife and
they can umaddle each other. Now that's a pitch meeting.
We could survive this, and I could be there shoving
my hips and showing them how the guy's doing it.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
This is very easy. We just stand in the courtyard.
We're all in some nice dockers and like a button
down a short sleep plaid shirt or something tucked in,
and they'll just assume we're there for some sort of audition,
you know what I mean, Hey, you guys here for
the audition. We're like yeah, yeah, And then we get in,
Oh okay, And once we're in, we're like, by the way,
so we're.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Going to trespass basically, yes, the building.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
But once we're in and we give them the elevator
pitch on the way up, they're going to be intrigued
and they'd be like, you know what, I don't think
we can survive a pitch of the elevator in an
office down at Olive in time? Do any of those
points happened? Oh? We got to start hanging out at
Olive in time though, time to get to work a
little bit early.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Voice say, don't you work at Hallmark?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Hanging out of elements.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I couldn't help, but notice your polo. I'm Matt Smith,
the voice of the Bolt.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
And then guys, there is a elderly Latino gentleman mixing
Mitcheladas who catches the eye of a young lady.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Can you hear us?
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You think he can hear us over there?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
That's the way we do this. Let's go to break.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Ah, it's gonna be a big year for all my
year for the Petros and Money Show.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Big year.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
We're gonna start churning out content weekly. We should do
us in our sleep.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Guys. It's a time in my life where I thought
this stuff would actually happen, but that that time has ended.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Hey, Colonel Sanders was working a used car lot. Okay,
he was like fifty five when he introduced that special recipe. Hey,
it can happen.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
The guy that wrote Angela's Ashes was really old. Then
it came out and he died.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Well, maybe it just comes out and we don't don't die,
and we get the Colonel Sanders story.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
James Worthy's got a belt in under his food. It's
how one of those the caps on it, like they
serve at the hotel, the warming cap. We'll be back.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
It's a ball girl. It's a ball girl at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Oh, Like it hangs out on the third base.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Yeah, and then you've got like the really rich guy
in the front row, a left fielder. Oh, you think
it's baseball ball.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Play catch with the left fielder, and all of a
sudden they start affing.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
That's not all Mark again, You're you're at the oxygen.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
See I can't go to the pitch. I've already been
cut out of the project. I didn't even make it
through the first segment of today's show. A few guys,
we'll be back with James Worthy. You know, Petrice just
doesn't really reflect our wholesome family values. So and I

Speaker 2 (25:32):

We're always proud to talk to James Worthy. Decorated basketball superstar,
Hall of Famer, champion at many levels, and of course
even decorated as a broadcaster and a fabulous basketball anlist
(25:53):
on Spectrum Sports Net. One of our favorite people to

and the past. It is James Worthy on Petrosen Money.
What's kind of James? How are you hey?
Speaker 4 (26:06):
What's happening? Wonderful Wednesday? What's going on?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
It is a wonderful Wednesday. Now before we get into
the Lakers and stuff. My radio partner was very surprised
hearing one of the talk shows in the morning on ESPN.
You saw Zion Williamson running around last night with the
Pelicans and Stephen A. Smith.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
You know.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
The guy on ESPN went on and alleged that, well
he alleged this. James listen to the clip drug addicts
and stuff like that. What was Zion's problem? Food addict?
Speaker 6 (26:38):
The joke was everybody in New Orleans they cooked. It
could be everybody from a restaurant, a chef to your grandmama.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Oh right.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Anybody that cooked knew about Zion Williamson, and he knew them.
They were on a first name basis because that brother
ate a lot.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Okay, you even have rumors and literally I'm here thinking
it was a joke, and somebody told me to go
on the air and point out how he got busted
hiding food under his bed.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
So I guess the question is, James, have you ever
heard of a guy in the NBA getting busted hiding
food under his bed?
Speaker 4 (27:15):
No? No, I've never heard of that. I do remember
when the Lakers had Benjamin, but now it for a
little while, and I know he struggled with with his weight. Look,
I grew up, you know, as a kid, teenager, you know,
(27:36):
teasing people who ate a lot. But then I realized
that some people do really have a disorder. And I
don't know if Zion does, but I know a lot
of people struggle with food. I do, I do I
have over my life. I've never been like heavy, but
I know, you know, dieting, so I kind of you know,
I'm not I'm not I'm not cool with like taking
(27:58):
a shot at that, like like Stephen they did. I
think it's a little bit more serious than that because
I remember a duke, you know, they had the same
challenges with him when he was bursting out of his
shoes and so and stuff like that. So you know,
I'm a little bit more sensitive to it because I
do know people who do have food disorders, and I'm
(28:19):
not I'm not saying that Zion has one, but I
do think he does struggle with, you know, geting, and
you know, there's a lot that comes with that stress
and worrying and things of that nature. So he's a
young kid. I hope he can can find I think
he's done a great job, you know, getting back to
you know, at least decent shape where he can play.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
He didn't look that fat to me last night. I
don't know why.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
He's come a long way with the with the food thing.
And at the beginning, I don't think any of us
understood what his struggle was. But I think it's more
than just eating. So that's that's kind of how I
like to leave that.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I guess the follow up I would have, James is,
you know it might struggle us more than just eating too. Yeah,
mine too is you know, We now have nutritionists. You
you have meal rooms that are catered to players with
a lot of healthy foods and you know omelet stations
and fish and all that. But when you were doing it,
(29:24):
did anybody monitor what you were eating? Were you guys
just handed up per diem and told go on and
figure it out yourself. Like, what was the dietitian? What
was the nutritionists like in your day?
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Didn't have one. My dietitianist was burger king, you know,
a sizzler. You know, yeah, that's right, man. But you know,
Pat Roddy gave us demands like he wanted a certain
body fat a certain percentage, and at the end of
(29:57):
the season he would always leave you with the with
the sheet you go and talk to Gary Vetty. We
never had anybody really that struggle with with Waite, guys
ate pretty good. We didn't really, you know, we didn't
stray too much for a lot of junk food stuff,
but we ain't, okay we and you know, he worked
her so hard that we were always in shape. But
(30:17):
we didn't have a dietitian. It was up to your
your your wife or your girlfriend. No one had chefs
back then. Maybe I think magic maybe eventually had one,
but uh, it would be nothing for us to, like,
you know, bring a bucket of fry ticket on the
plane with biscuits, and you know, we'd be throwing down man.
(30:38):
And uh, but I think there, I think there are
certain people that do do struggle with it. You know,
we we've had some of those, you know, uh in
in the league. Uh. You know, my friend duck Worth
was another. You know, you can you can name the
young kid from Crenshaw who who I can't think of
his name right now, but uh, they gave him a
(30:59):
nickname that you know, they used to call him hot Plate,
and that was kind of you know, that was kind
of cool. I think back in the day he struggled
with it, and you know, and and today if you
see him, you can see that, you know, he's he's
never really overcome it. So a lot of this is
a genetic and I think we have to be you know,
if a guy just flat out just eat potato chips
(31:21):
on the bench and drinking a beer, you know, then
you got a problem with discipline. You got a problem
with discipline. But I do think guys try to, you know,
stick to a diet and then somewhere at nine o'clock
at night, they're stretched out, they're worrying. Next thing you know,
they're in and out burger with you know, two or
three burgers and friars. That's the way that happens.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
What about I can't now, I can't have three burgers.
It's fine for you, James. What about you one repeat
the meat on it?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Legitimate, legitimate question, James, not trying to be as smart ass.
But you know, we see the old clips on the
you know when it used to be ESPN Classic and
you would get the locker room shots and every now
and then you'd see a guy smoking in the background.
Did you ever play with anyone that smoked in the
locker room? Did Vlade really smoke in the locker room
(32:14):
or did he have to go outside?
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Like?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
What was it like back then?
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Lottie didn't know when he first came from Europe, which
is totally acceptable. But after part Rod explained to him
that you need to stop smoking, period, And are you
going to run We're gonna know if you've been smoking
U because I'm gonna run your ass. But no, No,
in the early eighties, you'd find guys that never smoked
(32:39):
in the locker room. But every now and then you
see like a guy like, you know, after the game
or in a restaurant. I do remember one time though,
seeing a player in a halftime like he wasn't playing,
but pull him on one and you know, right outside
(32:59):
the locker. They tried, they tried to keep that, they
tried to keep that kind of low key. But there
were there, there were there were guys that smoked in
the NBA, and then it kind of then they kind
of silked it off after a while.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
The pun John hot Plate Williams from the Crenshaw. Yeah,
then to distinguish him from hot Rod hot Rod Williams
because you know one had that high top fad and
the other one like to eat.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Yeah, great player just never could overcome you know, weight issues.
So it happens.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Man, Well, the Lakers have won three in a row,
quite exciting, James. Now, yes, the the opponents have not
been the top of the pops in the NBA. But
what can we take away after you know, getting hammered
by the Celtics and then losing two you know, poor
execution in the final moments against the Suns and magic.
(33:54):
Have they righted the ship or is this maybe an
opponent thing, and we'd like to see what happened. You know,
they're playing the Knicks on Sunday or something like that.
What do we to take away here?
Speaker 4 (34:05):
The ship is still sailing, you know, in the storm.
They're going up against some big ways. If you remember
any movie where there was like a tornado or something
and the ship was just going over the waves and landing.
They're still you know, they still haven't to me, reached
their full potential. I'm hoping that, you know, having everybody
(34:29):
backs healthy once for once will help them get to
a place. But they're still in a position to move up.
This is a big you know, a couple of weeks
coming up. They got Denver twice, got Houston twice. Denver's
a little beat up right now. Houston's without you know,
(34:50):
some players. So they got to win these games. They
got to win these games to a boy anywhere close
to that seventh spot. Yeah, and I think they can
do it. I think JJ's tweaking the lineup a little
bit to make sure that the trio are maximizing what
they can, maybe not playing Lebron so much with Luca
(35:12):
and Austin and you know, let Lebron come in and
you know, do his thing and getting eight and involved.
I still think they got to get guys ruined in
need consistency. But if they can figure out a way
to peak at the right time in these last I
don't know twenty something games that they have left, they
(35:32):
have a strong offense and they've shown that they can
defend in the clutch situations. So we'll see. Got a
lot of work to do on the defensive end, and
they've got to knock down the three ball. If they don't,
if they can't compete with teams in that area, which
I'm glad they bought Canard and who who who needs
more volume. In my opinion, it's gonna be a uphill battle.
(35:57):
You know, when you start going up against the elite
teams in the West.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
It feels like Stu and Billy have lost their minds.
When it comes to the Lakers complaining about calls. Stu
and Billy are starting to freak out, like they can't
take it anymore. Hasn't reached that kind of critical mass
for you, James, the complaining about calls. There seems to
be a lot of guys the Lakers seemed to I mean,
I know everybody does it, but the Lakers seem to
really really have a it's become an art for them.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
Yeah, he can't be crying, man, you know, even if
it's a bad call, and there are some bad calls,
but when the game is happening, you have to get
back on defense immediately, expeditiously. You got to get back
now when there's a time out or there's a guy
the free throw line and you got a chance to
(36:46):
walk over to the referee, don't embarrass and don't throw
your hands up, and you say, look, dog, you missed
that one. Man, they got me. And that's how you
have to deal with referees. The minute you throw your
hands up, even if they're wrong, it's just it's it's
not gonna be good for you that evening. So you
just you know, uh, and we are guilty of, you know,
(37:09):
hanging around while the other team is, you know, throwing
layups in our face, complaining to the rest. They're gonna
they're gonna screw up. They're gonna mess up sometimes, just
like you know you're gonna turn it over sometime, they're
gonna they're gonna screw up. But the moment at that
moment you gotta get back on defense. And then when
the stock clocks and you see the referee standing on
(37:31):
a sideline, you just walk to him with a smile
and you say, yo, dog, you missed that one man.
Come on that he's pushing me. He's pulling me. He's
you know, and they respect that right, and then you
might get a call, you get a merpe. But that's
a that's a better, that's right, get your makeup call.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
That's a classy move by James Worthy and a great
conversation brought to you by Ford. It is Ford Truck Month,
the best time to buy a Ford truck F one fifty,
best selling truck for forty nine years running. Hurrying in
hurry in Ford Truck Month happens just once a year year.

Speaker 3 (38:19):

I think appropriatereate.

gonna have a hard time with anything else being on
A big thank you, James Worthy. We were not expecting
the measured, kindly answer about fat people or how fat
Zion is.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
No, but we're insensitive, James, Well, one of us is thoughtful.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
One of us really is.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
I'm looking at him.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
You must be looking in a mirror.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Food.
Speaker 2 (39:01):

a for a mental well a drug of sorts.

as alleged by Stephen A. Smith calling Colin Yee just came.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
In the also a sensitive soul.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
Yeah, well, he just came in the room and said.

You know I'm not the one that asked the question.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
He pushed back on you you're good as Worthy said
it island.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
I didn't ask him though. I was like, you know what,
I don't know if this is a good idea. I
don't know where this might go. And then all of
a sudden you started going there. I was like, all right,
I guess we're going there. And that's so we ended
up with we got a lecture like it was our
fault that stephen A did that this morning.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
So you're blaming me. You're the one that asked, okay,
all right. That should tell everybody, dude, we're not even
one hour in and that should tell everybody.
Speaker 3 (40:20):

other teams other than the Lakers, you would know how
competitive the West is. You simpletons, you clowns, you bit
boys out there.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Will you file me into the bit boy clowns, simpleton?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Category, what's the column you belong in? Because all I
watch is the hot take debate shows to get what
I want to know.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Oh when I get when I go upstairs and then
I go back into my basement in the morning to
feed the lizard. I see out of euphemism, No, I
actually have to feed the lizard.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Brusard and squid Word are up there with their kendall
white guy and I'm just like, what up.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I can't wait to turn this on, exactly turn it up.
But I want to hear what they're saying now. Normally
I don't want to hear what they're They.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Asked questions like is Trey Young a Hall of Famer?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Not yet, but if he were to make it past
the second round of the playoffs and back to back seasons,
then I think he might be into the kind of
elite category those of the conversation here. But the Lakers
did win last night and Zion was out there this
up and around. Did you see the Zion Williamson take
(02:44):
on first take that is making the rounds? Because I
don't want to quote first take unless it's a take
like this.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I did not see this, Matt when I turned on
my TV because I was watching uc LA.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
You had squid word. I had squid word, White Kendall.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Chris brew Brusard who says things like brock.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Purty and they used and when they put his name
on the thing like they put you know, his quote
the Chiron and it's just b R o U.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Brew Brusard and I was like, who's that? And I
was nicknames sad of b R E W.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
B Rowe copy that He's the be part of the
odd couple with Rob Parker right here on Fox Sports ratio.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
One of them is an ordained minister. The other is
the Minister of singles at the local strip club. I
believe it is what one of the promos were for
the Odd Couple. Uh stephen A. Smith on first take
and I wasn't actually watching. I just saw that, don't lie, Matt, Yeah,
you're right.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Do you want to hear what stephen I has to say?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I flipped over from Kelly and Mark and I got it.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I'm intrigued about his opinion.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
He uh he said the Zion Williamson's issues stem from
him being a food addict. Oh yes, I did see
this and he got busted for hiding food. Yeah, under
his bed, under his bed.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
He said. There's heroin addicts, there's alcoholics, and this guy
is addicted to food.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Who is doing the bed check where he's hide How
does he hide food?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Where?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Who is he hiding the food from from?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Is it on the road from the pelicans? Brass?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
But do they come into his bedroom and check to
see where the Zion?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
You better not have any food in here now. It's
kind of like that The Biggest Loser where they monitor
every moment of your consumption.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Like does he have to have his is his estate
being monitored by the Pelicans to see if he's hoarding food.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I don't know. I mean, were they doing that in Dallas?
Would look at Donchicic when he was all fat? I
mean they traded him, didn't they. Like he's hoarding food,
He's putting it under his bed. He's taking home all
the Welch's fruit snacks and he can't help himself. That's
what I like. Do you think he wakes up surrounded
by like rappers and like bags of chips and like
the done like binging and purging, like the Dana Plato
(05:03):
Different Strokes and Orexia Beliema episode.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I would I would picture it just like that.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
I just can't figure.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Because I'll never forget watching Dana Plato and Different Strokes
where they did the Bolivia episode where everybody goes to
bed Arnold and Willis and mister Drummond. She freaking attacks
the fridge and she sticks her hand in the peanut
butter and just shoves it into her face, And I
was like, oh my god, this is a serious sitcom
episode right now. So if it's like that, if that's
(05:31):
what Zion's dealing with, they should have been able to
beat the Lakers last night. Well, how does Stephen a
know that they're finding bed on the foot on a mee,
like did they just did the Pelicans force you to
have a roommate? Now we are on the road, much
about Zion already because of the porn stars that he dated,
told that he loved, and then they left them, and
then they were left to their druthers and social media
(05:55):
saying all the kinky things that he likes to happen
during copulation and things of that nature. So he's already
been laid bare.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Which one's wondering he wants you to frost a cake
and then slip I don't really know ye serve him
that cake?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I don't really know what he's into. But the truth
is if you're going under his bed and finding a
Salisbury stake out there at the Ritz Carlton in Denver,
I don't know what he's doing.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I don't understand a what that even means. How do
you hoard food when you're an NBA player who's on
the road at five star hotels, you have your own room,
there's a meal room that's catered all the time. Is
that people just seeing him sneak snacks out of the
meal room, like when it's supposed to be closed, and
he comes down at midnight and he grabs the fig
(06:40):
bars and the chips and the cookie plate. Like, don't
I don't understand what that means. I think it means,
particularly that you're hiding it under your bed.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I think it means Matt, that he's a sick man,
he is a food at it, and that he's addicted
to food. He's a food at that is hiding food
under his bed? Was the claim, what.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Are we gonna do today? Well, we got this news
about this guy. We got something Max Crosby, the McDuffie
guy got traded.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I got something. Does I heard that there is food?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Cyon Williamson is hiding food under his bed? Excuse me?
He's doing what?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
That's right? I said it. We do have great sports
talk for everybody today. David Vassey will join us Great
sports Talk. James Worthy is going to join us.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
We'll ask him if he had to hide food under
his bed, like, how do.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
You well, I don't think that's I mean, hiding anything
in a hotel. Who's checking would be unsavory to talk about?
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Is you know who's checking?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Matt?
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Some guy getting paid one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
a year by the Pelicans. All his job to do
is to follow well, look, I mean, die on around
and see what snacks or anything.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
If you're paying this guy thirty million dollars a year
to get hurt because he's fat, goes a fat and
he's on the road shoving like loaves of bread in
his mouth and ordering like fetcini alfredo at three in
the morning at the at the four seasons, then you
might want to, you know, and then bet check and
(08:20):
he's hiding the bed under the food. Dammit, he's hiding
the food under the bed. And the next thing, you know,
that guy that makes one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
a year supplements his income by calling Stephen A. Smith
on his burner phone and telling him that Zion's horning food, hiding.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Food under his bed, talking twinkies like. Joel Myers was right.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Joel Myers was right when he called.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Him fat in the first interview he was drafted to interview.
So you got a really babble of beating, don't you say?
They say this is maybe a weight issue. Maybe is
a issue. He did not take kindly to that. He
did not probably because it's true. It's it's true. It
is absurd. Well, it's one of the more surreal clips
(09:04):
I've ever seen. I don't know, Matt how absurd is
and I mean you yourself, over the years have discussed
taken a sleeve of Girl Scott Cookies and hiding them
from the family last night, eating them as quickly as
you could, of fruity cheerios in bed, right, and hunch
down like you're masturbating, you know, eating all fast so
no one can see it, like a raccoon looking back.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
If somebody catches you, like.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
You know, I mean, and then when they come, I
just closed the box and throw it across the room.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I mean, you know, Zion's a young guy. You know,
we're all human.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Certainly he's hungry, and Stephen a out at him and
he delivers it. Kate's I don't know if you can
dig up the clip. He he does it in standard Listen.
I do not say this lightly. This does not bring
me joy to share this right now. But I have
been told by members inside their organization.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Hot tip and look, if you're addicted to food, New
Orleans is not a great place to be, no, I mean,
it is just really not. Every everywhere you look, there's
some great food that can blow your head clean off.
Well happen you're doing? Let to shrimp at two FI.
What kind of saying?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
What you don't get done?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Then?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Poor boy? Shrimp, poor boy? This is a shrimp, poor boy.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I do not say this lightly. It does not bring
me pleasure to share.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
This news with you. But this young man is sick
in his mind.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
You got people that are alcoholics, you got people that
the drug addicts and stuff like that.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
What was Zion's problem? Food to addict?
Speaker 6 (10:41):
The joke was everybody in New Orleans that cooked. It
could be everybody from a restaurant, a chef to your grandmama.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
All right, anybody that cook knew about Zion Wimson, and
he knew them. They were on a first name basis,
just rolling over.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
And literally I'm here thinking it was a joke, and
somebody told me to go on the air and point
out how he got busted hiding food under his bed.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
This is the kind of stuff that was happening.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Hiding food from the food police.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
When is food contraband when is food other than the
Biggest Loser Show, When is food something you have to
hide hiding food under his bed. There is crackheads and
this guy's problem is.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
What somebody told and point out how he got busted
hiding food under his bed.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
That is sad, hiding food under his bad. Well, I
guess that is something we can get it.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
To the Hello, Stephen eds here the Pelican, hoping you
could do us a solid today. Would you mind going
on the air and talking about zion wings and hiding
food under his bed, which.

things that he was doing.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Now, man got people. Why is uncle Ben from the
rice box? Stephen a source down in New Orleans. I
don't I don't understand why I envisioned the call going
he Stephen here, we all work at the Mississippi. I
was hoping you could do let's just solid. People need
to know that this young boy has a problem eating
(12:24):
too much. Now everybody New Orleans, it cooks.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Food, alcoholics. You got people to the drug addicts.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So what he's alleging, what was that? Let's say I

You know, you know the pelicans are at home this
month of food.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
They were on a first name basis because that brother
ate a lot. Okay, you even have rumors and and
and literally I'm gonna thinking it was a joke. And
somebody told me to go on the air and point
out how he got busted hiding food under his bed.
This is the kind of stuff that was happening.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Hiding food. You know, all you ever have to do
is ask somebody, what what what happened? When did the
when did the scales tip? On the twenty four to
seven Sports media it could be the Zion Williamson food
contraband controversy of March twenty twenty six. That really pushed
(14:04):
thing over the edge. James Worthy will discuss it all
with us next.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
God Alcoholics, you got drug addicts.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
What is Zion Williamson, whether the drug addicts the stuff
like that? What was Zion's problem?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Well, you could also maybe argue that he's a hormonger
too with his porn star past, and that's a legitimate
weird request.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
Foo was Zion's problem?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yes, thank you. Daniel Jeremiah, who's a more moderate eater,
will join us in the second hour, and David Vassa
with his dietary restrictions, will be on the five o'clock hour.
And so that's a three guest day for a three
and a half hour show.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Whether you like food that's not Mitch from Jersey though,
or do not. Tim Kats is here. The shine of
the wedding is a kind of a worn off. I
don't know about, guys. I was gathered around the table
last night. Many of people were listening to the podcast
for Monday. Everybody was loving the wedding talk. So appreciate
all the nice comments. Oh good, yeah, did did Ribby
(15:11):
get mad? I told everybody about the Bob's big boy tattoo?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
She got on her neck.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
We didn't get to that far into the podcast. I
turned it off before the room.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
The groom had not seen the big boy tattoo until
he lifted that veil, and that was a big moment.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
We wonder why he had to look at surprise on
his face.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I was like, yep, that's it.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Anything else, Kates.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
If you guys notice across our building here thirty four
hundred West Olive in Burbank, California, the San Fernando Valley,
there is a building that's identical to us that its
address is thirty three hundred West Olive, right across from us,
and it's been sitting vacant since COVID.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
There used to be a record company in there.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
They were there and CW was there. Yep, and they
have saying one frog.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
We would see him doing his high knees that frog
on the on the sixth floor and I know that's
the w B.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Leave me alone.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
There's a new tenant that is moving in. It was
just announced last week. Do you guys hear who's moving in?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Why don't you hit the timpany and tell the people
because this could be a big deal. It's gonna be
ad shows right on top of that to be big
for us.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
It's gonna be huge because this is a station. I
know you guys watch not just during the holiday season
with all their great holiday movies, but year round. And
for a lot of the listeners it is year round
must watch TV the Hallmark Channel. This's movie in next
door and I bring it up. I bring it up
because you.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Think we got a leg up on a Chargers touchdown touchdown.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Well, I have to tell you yesterday there were some
executives from Hallmark walking around the building, our building. They
were here on the fourth floor with KFI and am
Fi seventy a half boards.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
How could you tell it was then? Where they wholesomely
dressed like people that look like they've just come out
of a church or something.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Bengo plus they have poll polos on that said a
Hallmark Media. But they were walking around. They went on
Conway Show believed or not already got in on that.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
How about that?
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Right, Conway? Hey sniffing around.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
He can get him in, He's got no chance. He's
the dirtiest dog here. And then he does his fake
wholesome Tesla SpaceX videos and acts like he's getting one
over on everybody, we know what you're really like.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I got news for you, man, Holiday horse track, no
chance that things get in the green light horse Track.
I ran dig Dog, it's about a gambling a ding dog.
His father is a famous comedian, ding Dot.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
I ran into one of the guys in the hallway
as I was leaving the Hallmark guys, the Hallmark guys.
There was multiple people and Sharon Bell You introduced me
to him and I said, oh wow. I said, uh,
Holiday touchdown, Yeah, the Chiefs and the Bills, And he goes,
oh wow, you guys watch I said, not only do
we watch.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Soundbites from that, we play on the radio. And to
be fair, the Chiefs one had a lot more momentum
and a lot more steam than the Bills one, right,
and the Bills one we could have done a lot
more on, and people asked us to do a lot
more on. I don't know if it was the Dodger
champion Chip. I think it was my panic attacks Matt's schedule.
So I don't know what kept us from well Matt.
(18:03):
Usually it's me that brings up the Hallmark dannel and
waves it around in Matt's face. Indeed, but we didn't
do it.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Start though, there was no Donna Kelsey in it. It
wasn't like the Chiefs one.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Well, wait a minute, it had Kelso.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Frank Kelso was in it. No, the safety with Mark Kels. Yeah,
Mark Kelso. Asker it had Andre Reid. I mean it
did have star power. Jim Kelly was in it. It
had Buffalo Bill star powder.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Okay, I asked the guy I know, was that Hailey
Steinfeld nude scene in the shower lathering up?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
I didn't care about that.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
I said, uh, you guys, please tell me there's more.
Please please tell me that you're gonna be wet in
the appetite of all these sports fans to watch Hallmark
And he said, guess what.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Is gonna be the voice of the Bolts, the inspiring
Matt Smith's story.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
I guess what's coming?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Oh he already? Can you this isn't uh embargoed. You
can say this on the air.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Well, he wouldn't tell me which team, but he said
another series is coming. He says, twenty twenty six holiday
touchdown with an NFL team.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
He is coming. Thanks for nothing. What they're going to
do another one? It's a huge an admiration with the NFL.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Well, he wouldn't tell me which team though, why not? Well,
I started guessing, how about the Raiders. He's like, no, no, no,
no chance, and he goes, I'm a big Chargers fan,
so I know the voice of the bull is it?
I say, Chargers?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I could see the Raiders one being like, it's a
hooker at the Bunny Ranch and she loves the Raiders
and her hooker room is filled with Raider gear. And
then like one like a pr guy for the Raiders,
goes out there and visit I used to run it.
They end up like letting all the hookers come to
a suite at Allegiance. They meet Mark Davis.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
I don't like the storyline.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
It's not like where this is going. I like where
this is going.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
So I asked to go to the vape shop, said
the Chargers. You know you got justin Herbert now in
his new relationship.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
That's good. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
He wouldn't say yes or no, he just got looking
out for it. Twenty six.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
We've had a lot of bs ideas that go nowhere
on this show. Right now, where do they usually come from?
Right now? We make the pact. Okay, let's put our
heads together. Let's get ourselves a treatment, an elevator, pitch
a pilot script, and we're going to deliver. Everybody's coming
(20:14):
to Hallmark for a holiday film. No, that's the zig
oh we zach. Fourth of July, guys, it's time to
own the Midsummer on the Hallmark channel.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
It's time for holiday explosion.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
It's it's it's scantily clad, wholesome family relationship rom com style.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I don't think the trio of us we can do it.
Whether or not we bring Ronnie or not, that's up.
It's like brand ringo.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
That's what I read.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I don't think any combination of the people on this
show could survive a pitch meeting in one piece. I
don't think. I think we'd get thrown out in a
very short amount of I just I don't I got this.
I doubt our ability.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
If not, Tim Conway is going to take advantage of it,
and we can't. We cannot let that bat like you said,
he'll crash and burn it. We can't let it happen.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Though not like all our ideas which shoot off into
the sky, if we had any follow through.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Now the follow through is waiting for us it's just
one hundred yards away.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I'm sorry, Matt. My follow through is preparing for the
next show.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
One hundred yards. I can see their offices like I
can throw a rock at them.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, now, you're like Sarah Palin Hallmark TV. I can
see it from my office.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
We can put signs in the window. But just because
their next door doesn't mean we have a leg up
at a pitch meeting.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I mean, we're the Dodger Station. There's no bigger brand
in the world when it comes to sports. Right now,
if we want to build a shoulder midsummer feel good
rom com Hallmark movie around the Boys in Blue, who
better to do it than us?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Nobody? You're right, I mean, but I don't know if
we can get an audience. I think we're a little
too rascally for Hallmarks. I just walk right in.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Now.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
If it was Oxygen one of those hot Wife, Hot
and Bothered Housewife shows where a dude comes into the
house and starts railing the daughter and the wife and
they can umaddle each other. Now that's a pitch meeting.
We could survive this, and I could be there shoving
my hips and showing them how the guy's doing it.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
This is very easy. We just stand in the courtyard.
We're all in some nice dockers and like a button
down a short sleep plaid shirt or something tucked in,
and they'll just assume we're there for some sort of audition,
you know what I mean, Hey, you guys here for
the audition. We're like yeah, yeah, And then we get in,
Oh okay, And once we're in, we're like, by the way,
so we're.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Going to trespass basically, yes, the building.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
But once we're in and we give them the elevator
pitch on the way up, they're going to be intrigued
and they'd be like, you know what, I don't think
we can survive a pitch of the elevator in an
office down at Olive in time? Do any of those
points happened? Oh? We got to start hanging out at
Olive in time though, time to get to work a
little bit early.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Voice say, don't you work at Hallmark?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Hanging out of elements.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I couldn't help, but notice your polo. I'm Matt Smith,
the voice of the Bolt.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
And then guys, there is a elderly Latino gentleman mixing
Mitcheladas who catches the eye of a young lady.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Can you hear us?
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You think he can hear us over there?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
That's the way we do this. Let's go to break.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Ah, it's gonna be a big year for all my
year for the Petros and Money Show.

Hey, Colonel Sanders was working a used car lot. Okay,
he was like fifty five when he introduced that special recipe. Hey,
it can happen.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
The guy that wrote Angela's Ashes was really old. Then

Yeah, and then you've got like the really rich guy
in the front row, a left fielder. Oh, you think

sudden they start affing.

(25:53):
on Spectrum Sports Net. One of our favorite people to

What's kind of James? How are you hey?
Speaker 4 (26:06):
What's happening? Wonderful Wednesday? What's going on?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
It is a wonderful Wednesday. Now before we get into
the Lakers and stuff. My radio partner was very surprised
hearing one of the talk shows in the morning on ESPN.
You saw Zion Williamson running around last night with the
Pelicans and Stephen A. Smith.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
You know.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
The guy on ESPN went on and alleged that, well
he alleged this. James listen to the clip drug addicts
and stuff like that. What was Zion's problem? Food addict?
Speaker 6 (26:38):
The joke was everybody in New Orleans they cooked. It
could be everybody from a restaurant, a chef to your grandmama.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Oh right.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Anybody that cooked knew about Zion Williamson, and he knew them.
They were on a first name basis because that brother
ate a lot.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Okay, you even have rumors and literally I'm here thinking
it was a joke, and somebody told me to go
on the air and point out how he got busted
hiding food under his bed.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
So I guess the question is, James, have you ever
heard of a guy in the NBA getting busted hiding
food under his bed?
Speaker 4 (27:15):
No? No, I've never heard of that. I do remember
when the Lakers had Benjamin, but now it for a
little while, and I know he struggled with with his weight. Look,
I grew up, you know, as a kid, teenager, you know,
(27:36):
teasing people who ate a lot. But then I realized
that some people do really have a disorder. And I
don't know if Zion does, but I know a lot
of people struggle with food. I do, I do I
have over my life. I've never been like heavy, but
I know, you know, dieting, so I kind of you know,
I'm not I'm not I'm not cool with like taking
(27:58):
a shot at that, like like Stephen they did. I
think it's a little bit more serious than that because
I remember a duke, you know, they had the same
challenges with him when he was bursting out of his
shoes and so and stuff like that. So you know,
I'm a little bit more sensitive to it because I
do know people who do have food disorders, and I'm
(28:19):
not I'm not saying that Zion has one, but I
do think he does struggle with, you know, geting, and
you know, there's a lot that comes with that stress
and worrying and things of that nature. So he's a
young kid. I hope he can can find I think
he's done a great job, you know, getting back to
you know, at least decent shape where he can play.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
He didn't look that fat to me last night. I
don't know why.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
He's come a long way with the with the food thing.
And at the beginning, I don't think any of us
understood what his struggle was. But I think it's more
than just eating. So that's that's kind of how I
like to leave that.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I guess the follow up I would have, James is,
you know it might struggle us more than just eating too. Yeah,
mine too is you know, We now have nutritionists. You
you have meal rooms that are catered to players with
a lot of healthy foods and you know omelet stations
and fish and all that. But when you were doing it,
(29:24):
did anybody monitor what you were eating? Were you guys
just handed up per diem and told go on and
figure it out yourself. Like, what was the dietitian? What
was the nutritionists like in your day?
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Didn't have one. My dietitianist was burger king, you know,
a sizzler. You know, yeah, that's right, man. But you know,
Pat Roddy gave us demands like he wanted a certain
body fat a certain percentage, and at the end of
(29:57):
the season he would always leave you with the with
the sheet you go and talk to Gary Vetty. We
never had anybody really that struggle with with Waite, guys
ate pretty good. We didn't really, you know, we didn't
stray too much for a lot of junk food stuff,
but we ain't, okay we and you know, he worked
her so hard that we were always in shape. But
(30:17):
we didn't have a dietitian. It was up to your
your your wife or your girlfriend. No one had chefs
back then. Maybe I think magic maybe eventually had one,
but uh, it would be nothing for us to, like,
you know, bring a bucket of fry ticket on the
plane with biscuits, and you know, we'd be throwing down man.
(30:38):
And uh, but I think there, I think there are
certain people that do do struggle with it. You know,
we we've had some of those, you know, uh in
in the league. Uh. You know, my friend duck Worth
was another. You know, you can you can name the
young kid from Crenshaw who who I can't think of
his name right now, but uh, they gave him a
(30:59):
nickname that you know, they used to call him hot Plate,
and that was kind of you know, that was kind
of cool. I think back in the day he struggled
with it, and you know, and and today if you
see him, you can see that, you know, he's he's
never really overcome it. So a lot of this is
a genetic and I think we have to be you know,
if a guy just flat out just eat potato chips
(31:21):
on the bench and drinking a beer, you know, then
you got a problem with discipline. You got a problem
with discipline. But I do think guys try to, you know,
stick to a diet and then somewhere at nine o'clock
at night, they're stretched out, they're worrying. Next thing you know,
they're in and out burger with you know, two or
three burgers and friars. That's the way that happens.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
What about I can't now, I can't have three burgers.
It's fine for you, James. What about you one repeat
the meat on it?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Legitimate, legitimate question, James, not trying to be as smart ass.
But you know, we see the old clips on the
you know when it used to be ESPN Classic and
you would get the locker room shots and every now
and then you'd see a guy smoking in the background.
Did you ever play with anyone that smoked in the
locker room? Did Vlade really smoke in the locker room
(32:14):
or did he have to go outside?
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Like?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
What was it like back then?
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Lottie didn't know when he first came from Europe, which
is totally acceptable. But after part Rod explained to him
that you need to stop smoking, period, And are you
going to run We're gonna know if you've been smoking
U because I'm gonna run your ass. But no, No,
in the early eighties, you'd find guys that never smoked
(32:39):
in the locker room. But every now and then you
see like a guy like, you know, after the game
or in a restaurant. I do remember one time though,
seeing a player in a halftime like he wasn't playing,
but pull him on one and you know, right outside
(32:59):
the locker. They tried, they tried to keep that, they
tried to keep that kind of low key. But there
were there, there were there were guys that smoked in
the NBA, and then it kind of then they kind
of silked it off after a while.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
The pun John hot Plate Williams from the Crenshaw. Yeah,
then to distinguish him from hot Rod hot Rod Williams
because you know one had that high top fad and
the other one like to eat.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Yeah, great player just never could overcome you know, weight issues.
So it happens.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Man, Well, the Lakers have won three in a row,
quite exciting, James. Now, yes, the the opponents have not
been the top of the pops in the NBA. But
what can we take away after you know, getting hammered
by the Celtics and then losing two you know, poor
execution in the final moments against the Suns and magic.
(33:54):
Have they righted the ship or is this maybe an
opponent thing, and we'd like to see what happened. You know,
they're playing the Knicks on Sunday or something like that.
What do we to take away here?
Speaker 4 (34:05):
The ship is still sailing, you know, in the storm.
They're going up against some big ways. If you remember
any movie where there was like a tornado or something
and the ship was just going over the waves and landing.
They're still you know, they still haven't to me, reached
their full potential. I'm hoping that, you know, having everybody
(34:29):
backs healthy once for once will help them get to
a place. But they're still in a position to move up.
This is a big you know, a couple of weeks
coming up. They got Denver twice, got Houston twice. Denver's
a little beat up right now. Houston's without you know,
(34:50):
some players. So they got to win these games. They
got to win these games to a boy anywhere close
to that seventh spot. Yeah, and I think they can
do it. I think JJ's tweaking the lineup a little
bit to make sure that the trio are maximizing what
they can, maybe not playing Lebron so much with Luca
(35:12):
and Austin and you know, let Lebron come in and
you know, do his thing and getting eight and involved.
I still think they got to get guys ruined in
need consistency. But if they can figure out a way
to peak at the right time in these last I
don't know twenty something games that they have left, they
(35:32):
have a strong offense and they've shown that they can
defend in the clutch situations. So we'll see. Got a
lot of work to do on the defensive end, and
they've got to knock down the three ball. If they don't,
if they can't compete with teams in that area, which
I'm glad they bought Canard and who who who needs
more volume. In my opinion, it's gonna be a uphill battle.
(35:57):
You know, when you start going up against the elite
teams in the West.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
It feels like Stu and Billy have lost their minds.
When it comes to the Lakers complaining about calls. Stu
and Billy are starting to freak out, like they can't
take it anymore. Hasn't reached that kind of critical mass
for you, James, the complaining about calls. There seems to
be a lot of guys the Lakers seemed to I mean,
I know everybody does it, but the Lakers seem to
really really have a it's become an art for them.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
Yeah, he can't be crying, man, you know, even if
it's a bad call, and there are some bad calls,
but when the game is happening, you have to get
back on defense immediately, expeditiously. You got to get back
now when there's a time out or there's a guy
the free throw line and you got a chance to
(36:46):
walk over to the referee, don't embarrass and don't throw
your hands up, and you say, look, dog, you missed
that one. Man, they got me. And that's how you
have to deal with referees. The minute you throw your
hands up, even if they're wrong, it's just it's it's
not gonna be good for you that evening. So you
just you know, uh, and we are guilty of, you know,
(37:09):
hanging around while the other team is, you know, throwing
layups in our face, complaining to the rest. They're gonna
they're gonna screw up. They're gonna mess up sometimes, just
like you know you're gonna turn it over sometime, they're
gonna they're gonna screw up. But the moment at that
moment you gotta get back on defense. And then when
the stock clocks and you see the referee standing on
(37:31):
a sideline, you just walk to him with a smile
and you say, yo, dog, you missed that one man.
Come on that he's pushing me. He's pulling me. He's
you know, and they respect that right, and then you
might get a call, you get a merpe. But that's
a that's a better, that's right, get your makeup call.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
That's a classy move by James Worthy and a great
conversation brought to you by Ford. It is Ford Truck Month,
the best time to buy a Ford truck F one fifty,
best selling truck for forty nine years running. Hurrying in
hurry in Ford Truck Month happens just once a year year.

Speaker 3 (38:19):

Friends when the Dodgers were playing Mexico earlier, which is
I think appropriatereate.

O'clock super Friends on me TV's coming we do. I'm
gonna have a hard time with anything else being on
A big thank you, James Worthy. We were not expecting
the measured, kindly answer about fat people or how fat
Zion is.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
No, but we're insensitive, James, Well, one of us is thoughtful.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
One of us really is.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
I'm looking at him.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
You must be looking in a mirror.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Food.
Speaker 2 (39:01):

a for a mental well a drug of sorts.

Jillian Michaels aka Matt Money Smith. Oh yeah, I saw
you eating.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Southern California's most listened to sports talk show, This is
Money on Demand carrying.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Insensitive response from James Worthy regarding Zion Williamson's weight problem,
as alleged by Stephen A. Smith calling Colin Yee just came.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
In the also a sensitive soul.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
Yeah, well, he just came in the room and said.

You know I'm not the one that asked the question.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
He pushed back on you you're good as Worthy said
it island.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
I didn't ask him though. I was like, you know what,
I don't know if this is a good idea. I
don't know where this might go. And then all of
a sudden you started going there. I was like, all right,
I guess we're going there. And that's so we ended
up with we got a lecture like it was our
fault that stephen A did that this morning.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
So you're blaming me. You're the one that asked, okay,
all right. That should tell everybody, dude, we're not even
one hour in and that should tell everybody.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
You're the question.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
