Speaker 1 (00:01):
On air at am five to seventy LA Sports and
I'm demand on the iHeartRadio app. This is the Petros
and Money Show. You are one of the kind, hosted
by Petros, Papaday guests left school after sixth grade and
the voice of the Bolts, that Money Smith. The answer
is money. There is nothing you can do. You know

(00:21):
it's coming. This is the Petros and Money Show.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
On the home of your world champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Make us your top preset on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
None of us are as perfect as we like to pretend.
But everybody, what's cracking and welcome. It is the Petros
and Money Show on M five seventy.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
LA Sports, the home of great Sports.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Talk, Great Sports Talk, the home of the Dodgers still
owned by the Guggenheim Group and Mark Walter. Sorry that
you never got to cross the river, Jordan Laker Fans
and dance in the Land of Milk and Honey with
the twelve Tribes of Israel. No true, you've been sold,

(01:21):
and who knows what your new owners will be like.
Who knows what time they'll tell you to go to bed,
Who knows if they'll let you watch the Cosby Show
before bedtime. I guess that didn't age very well, but
still a big breaking news day on The Petrosen Money Show.
And it's a macro economics ownership day on The Petrosen

(01:43):
Money Show, which means, what are we gonna do without
Matt Smith. He's on the plane to Houston with the
Chargers Dodger olding court talking about, Hey, you gotta pass
that guy off on the zone. You gotta pass him off. Listen,
you gotta pass him off. Really talking breaking it down.

(02:04):
It is one hundred and forty five pound frame, and
we don't have him to break down what we need
macro economically, what we need to understand about the business
of the world.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
We're not.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
At least that's what you say. And I'm not really
sure how to handle the sale. In fact, I do
know how to handle the sale. I feel I have
a philosophy. But we also have a star, a literal
Hollywood star on the Walk of Fame Oral Herschey's are
being honored this week. We will talk to him in
the very next segment and he can answer about this.
His bosses don't change everybody in Lakerlands do Who moved

(02:46):
my cheese and then we'll talk to Alan Sleiewah about
the very same thing in the final hour Hoops Hype podcast.
Excuse me talking hoops hoops Talk. Sorry, Alan slee While
will join us in the final hour of the show.
But between then and now, know this great sports talk.

(03:08):
We have that to offer. And we also have a
very special co host. You know him as the executive
producer of the show. It's Tim Kaits at Tim Kates
on X. He'll host Marogo Casino Dodgers on Deck tonight.

(03:31):
He's the pre half and post guy for the Raiders.
He works for Compass Media college football and basketball lead
anchor and again yes all CIF baseball in nineteen ninety six.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Don't worry, Petros, I'm here. I'm here to talk macro economicy.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah, because the only person's smarter than Matt around here
is you.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
I can break down how to sell a billion dollar
team done. I don't. I don't know this.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I know, I'm not. It's I'd like to me buying
the Lakers is not like going and buying like a
pack of of of now and laters. It feels where
you're wrong, it's been really you know, it just feels
like this. I don't believe, and maybe I'm supposed to
Like I'm, I'll suspend any belief that anybody wants me
to suspend. I'm I have no skin in the game.

(04:24):
I don't care. I don't care. I'm like Tommy Lee Jones.
Well you should care, No, I'm like Tommy Lee Jones.
I don't care if I didn't shoot my wine. I
don't care. If I don't care what, I don't care.
I'm willing to suspend belief. But even me, a guy
who doesn't think much about economics and globalism and world

(04:47):
trade and big giant brands moving hands and mergers and
acquisitions and all of these things. The stuff that Richard
gear did in the movie that he fell in love
with the hooker, I don't follow that stuff. I don't
know about that stuff. But even me, with my limited knowledge,

(05:10):
believes that it's a little weird that the Lakers would
sell in three days because it took like a lot
longer to do a lot of other things in my
life that seemed a lot less consequential.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Well, that's where you're know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
They're buying a house, renting a studio apartment in Sampedro
that took me more than four Yeah, come back on
Thursday and uh, you know, take a look and give
your deposit like it took me a while, Like all
of these things in my life have taken longer than
three days.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
That's where you need to let the grown ups in
the room and we'll handle this, because you're one of
the grown ups. All it took was Bob Iger and
Josh Kuzner finding out from somebody, Hey, the Lakers might
be for see. I told them Ramona, I don't know.
But according to Bob Iger, into the californ You post
about three hours ago in an exclusive one on one
interview over the phone, he said he found on on

(06:05):
Sunday that yeah, Lakers might be for sale. So he
put a call in to Mark Walter and the new
Laker ownership, and here we are seventy two hours later.
That's hang bang boom, their soul and that's how I'm
supposed to feel.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
And Luca sends a tweet, Genie sends a tweet, Walter
sends a tweet, Magic sends a tweet. Everybody feels good
if Magic says it's okay, that's awesome.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
It's as easy as this, Hey is your team for sale. No,
but you want to make an offer twelve and a
half billion deal, that's how it goes done. You know,
I live in a neighborhood that people like, right that
the people on the hill. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Well, and it's a certain neighborhood that you know, young
families and stuff they want to live in the neighborhood
I live in. So I'm always getting emails like anybody
you could own an empty lot there and I'm always
getting emails or tax like, hey, I'm a realtor, are
you interested in selling this house? Every once in a while,
ding't all they'll come up to the house ding dong,

(07:03):
Tim Conway Junior style and ask, and it's you know,
some well healed some men to get the door, like
a good looking person who's like, hey, are you interested
in selling this house? Because you could make this much?
And I mean I've never actually considered it, but this
would be like the pro basketball equivalent of Bob Iger

(07:23):
and Kushner come up to the door, Ding dong, Luca Answers,
Mark Walters and a towel in the back just got
out of the pool, like, Hey, what's up?

Speaker 3 (07:32):
What's going on through you? Mister Welton.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, and oh, well you know what we have thought
coming come in and sit down.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
What do you think of it?

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Well, we're thinking about three days. Yeah, but we want
to buy your team now. Like that happens in three days?

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Apparently it does. How does this happen in three days?
I mean, it's come together this quick. They agreed on
a price, and you're supposed.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
To believe that it happened in three days? Is that
just how we're supposed to go on living. I'm happy
to do that. I'm an idiot.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
I like to believe this is how it all went down,
like to believe that Ramona found out last night as
she said, and that she couldn't find a second source
for a little while, then finally she confirmed the.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Balls Tony, I'm sure that. I'm sure that Ramona's story
coming out didn't come with any stipulation.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
No.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
I mean, we find out about the deal this morning
and we are shocked to find out that Mark Walter
is signed the Lakers and gonna get two and a
half billion dollars out of it. Good for him. I
think this is a win win for him certainly and
for the Dodgers because now he's still owning the Dodgers,
and Dodger fans could be happy about that. Laker fans
can start freaking out. Yeah about the future. Yeah, man,
I don't know what's gonna happen to you. Guys. We're

(08:35):
over here spending money winning championships. What are you doing
over there at Crypto?

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Huh?

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Not much?

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Not thinking about the future. And that's what you're not
doing because you don't know what's coming next. How's your
G League team down at Coachella Valley?

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Huh?

Speaker 3 (08:45):
How's that going on there? If you should move it
halfway back to Beaumont, that's the thing, Petros. In the
last nine months since officially took go over it move,
Mark Walter's done so much great things and has helped
out the Laker organization highre new assistant g got a
new pool.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
He was doing all this stuff, and then halfway through construction,
some realtor shows.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Up, Hey, you want to sell this house?

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Why not?

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Dude? Really?

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Am I supposed to believe that because I'll? Because I will.
I don't care.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Listen, I run in a different circle than you. This
is how it's done, Okay, this is how it happens.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Well, That is my that is my feeling of what
anybody wants to talk about macroeconomics or insurance or taxes
or probes or anything like that. And I'm not even
talking about Genie Buzz because she's too poor obviously to
be in the conversation. She was too poor to be
in the conversation. I'm talking about the Iigers, the Cushner's,

(09:40):
the Mark Walters.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Of the world. They were just at the White House
the other day.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
That guy pretty pretty notorious businessmen for the last fifty years.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Very successful.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
I feel like these people play in a stadium that
we are not credentialed to enter, and that they make
deals and move things around in ways that are not
dreamt of in our philosophy and whatever impropriety somebody wants
to talk about or not talk about. I have no

(10:12):
idea at that level of economy, that level of wealth,
that level of moving things around, I don't know. I honestly,
I know. I like to play around and be like
I'm too stupid. The truth is I am too stupid.
I don't understand how that world works. I don't have
a grasp on it. I wouldn't try to have a
grasp on it. I wouldn't try to have a hot

(10:34):
take on it or anything like that. All I can
grasp is that it's shocking that it happened in seventy
two hours.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Well, listen, I watched Billions, the TV show. Okay, so
a little bit more of ran. I watched all the
seasons of Billions, so I can tell you how it
works and how it doesn't work. And this sort of
stuff happens in that kind of world that you're talking about,
that arena, that kind of stuff happened. That's why we
need it.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
That's why we need Matt Smith because he read Malcolm
Gladwell's Freakonomics. Does that Gladwell's book, now, well, somebody's book
freaking Nomics.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
The fact that you don't know this just takes you
out of You're in a different arena.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Your last book I read about the economy was Mark
Twain's The Gilded Age.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
I'm screwed.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
I think for sports fans Tho Petros. For Laker fans,
there is a sense of what now. We don't know
what Bob Iiger and the Kushner Group's gonna do because
they've never run a sports organization like Mark Walter has
he's got the track record of the last thirteen years
of being one of the greatest owners in the world
in professional sports. What has Eiger done, What has Kushner

(11:43):
done running professional franchises? They don't know. They could be
really great. They could be just like Mark Walter. They
can be just as a forward thinking like an Andrew
Freeman in his front They could. We just don't know.
And if you're a Laker fan, I think you're a
little worried right now.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
And you know, if you were, like you did have
hopes of the future with with the Walter ownership group,
but it was still the unknown, was it not? And
now it's the super double seventy two hour deal unknown.
But we have something to promote coming up tomorrow. We
are live, you know what.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
This remote almost came together as quick as this deal,
but it took longer, it did. It did take longer.
My gosh, twelve and a half billion dollars.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Found out bjson Montabella was available more than three days ago.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
I thought there was a lot less yelling back and forth.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
It took longer to figure out, like how to get
cheese sticks to our audience in Montabello. That it did
sell the Lakers for a record breaking twelve and a
half billion dollars.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Yes, mister de Walter, this is for you. We couldn't
get the door.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
We got Dodger tickets three to six at the BJSON Montapello.
Come and see us Dodger tickets, Charger tickets, BJAS, gift cards.
Bj He's Rens storing in brew House in Montapello, located
in Monapelo Town Center off the sixty. You can get
off at Paramount or Sam Gabriel Boulevard. I don't care.
I didn't shoot my wife. I don't care someone armed man,

(13:16):
happy hour specials and great sports talk and movie references
that you probably won't recognize like that one.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
But uh, come on, everybody knows that one.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
No, everybody doesn't, dude, nobody knows anything anymore. We interviewed
Mookie Betts yesterday and he didn't know either Kingpin or
the Big Lebowski. And he's an avid bowler. His life
is bowling. He owns a bowling alley and he never
saw the Big Lebowski or Kingpin. But at least he
admitted it, unlike Lebron James, who tried to act like

(13:48):
he saw the Godfather. Oh.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
There's so much line. There's so many lines.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
I give that.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
You know, you gotta give Mooki Betts a lot of
credit for that. At least he didn't act like he
didn't try to lie his way through it. He was
just honest. And that's what I wish Lebron James would
have been.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Mookie cuts you down because if he says, oh, yeah,
I've seen those right away, I'm that you're talking about
Bigger and the Crack. Well, with your big words that
you use, well, you're gonna start referencing the movies.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Actually, I like to do when I interview athletes. I
like to dazzle him with big words and frighten him.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
It is surprising that the guy who's got eighteen to
twenty bowling balls in his possession, based on humidity and
geographical location of where he's at at the time, has
not seen either of those movies. That's a little surprising.
I was surprised as well.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
It's not like he's on a flight a lot where
there's a you know, a lot of downtime.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
I wonder how many baseball players you ask, have you
seen The Natural? Have you seen Bull Durham?

Speaker 2 (14:43):
I think we'd be very disappointed, right, and even more disappointing,
like more important movies like Teen Wolf. You know, well
every NBA player has seen that of the One of
the women that works at my sister's yoga studio said
to me the a great yoga teacher. Andrea said to
me the other day, I finally saw my big fat
Greek Wedding. I was like, just came out and was

(15:05):
like cool. She's like, yeah, there's a lot of movies
that I haven't seen. They're like Star Wars and my
Big Fat Greek Wedding. I was like, well, I wouldn't
really put those together, but you know that's cool. And
she's like, well, we watched all three and I was like,
Return of the Jedi. Did you like, no, No, She's like, no,
all three. My big fat Greek Wedding was there's three?
There was three. You milt that much Feta out of

(15:27):
the goat of three?

Speaker 3 (15:29):
What kind of storylines are you going with the number two?
At number three? I mean, the first one's like, oh okay,
you went in the first one. Stupid idiot Greek family.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
A lot of stereotypes that actually really really do hold true. Sadly,
you know, all the way down to the cross eyed
girl with the big nose, Nea Vadodalo's.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Should you tell me NBA players have not seen hoop
dreams or hoosiers or loving basketball or above the rim? Oh,
do you want a man? Come on blue chips.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
If they haven't seen blue Chips, we gotta know. But
they've all seen white chicks. Don't worry. Speaking of white guys,
we have an oral Hersheiser joining us Bullard. In the
very next segment, we will talk about well, I guess
a little bit about the ownership, about the Dodgers trying
to get a sweep tonight, come back from their ten

Humbled but it is definitely an accumulation of all the
people that.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Have help me along the.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Way, Well, oral one Of David vassa's task now weekly
is to go out, there clean, it bronze it, up
make sure it looks all, polished that way to. Go
so that is now part of his responsibilities as far
as being the Intrepid dodger reporter that he. Is but
would nineteen eighty Eight oral Her seizer believe that he
has got a star on The Hollywood walk Of.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Fame, NO i don't think he would believe.

Speaker 4 (21:22):
That you, know the category of sports and. Entertainment so
the sports side we can understand with The World championship
in eighty eight and all my teammates and everything that
we got to do and. Did and then after, that
the entertainment side of that equation came with the opportunity
to be WITH, espn to be WITH, nbc to do
The Little league In College World, series to do come

(21:45):
back To spectrum when The dodgers open their.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Network that was a great thing that.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
You, know The dodgers allowed me to come back and
ask me to come, back and then to witness all
of These world championships and be part of the family.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Again it's been quite a right did.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
YOU i, mean when you were At Bowling green and
pitching in the major leagues and broadcasting it wasn't like
every game was ON tv back.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Then it.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Was it was a whole different. World but did you
see yourself as a broadcaster did you? THINK i, mean
it's certainly something THAT i ended up doing and had
no idea THAT i was going to end up being a.
Broadcaster did you have did you? Have of course you
Know i'm not A World SERIES mvp and or oral,
Hersheizer but did you did you have any any inklings
of that when you were a? PLAYER i mean you

(22:32):
were always a great, COMMUNICATOR.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
I guess you.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
Know growing up A, dodger you see all the possibilities
because we're in such a, market right do you see
the possibility that Tommylus order was a, pitcher maybe you
can be a. Manager, also you see a possibility That
Fred klaire comes out of the media world and becomes
a general manager and a world champion general. Manager you
think that might be. Possible you talk To peter O'Malley

(22:56):
and you, say you know, what if you get into
baseball front, office there's no reason that you couldn't help
run a. Club AND i ended up dabbling in all those,
things but ended up really choosing a lifestyle that if
you you, know you don't swear on the, air and
you don't do, things and you know the, game and
you can really enhance the broadcast a little bit and
not get in the way of it and help your

(23:17):
play by play. Guy you, know broadcasting is not only
a great, career but it's a great lifestyle because you're
part of what you want to do and what you've
done your whole. Life but you don't have the pressure
of probably being fired every three to five years and
moving your family to another.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
City isn't it funny about broadcasting how people wonder what
it takes to be a great, broadcaster and guys that
are trying to become broadcasters think that it's Because i'm
going to be featured And i'm going to feature. Myself
but something you just said, There you've become a great
broadcaster because you help the play by play, Guy you
help the, producer you help the. Director you don't talk

(23:55):
down to people about the sport of. Baseball is that
something that nactually happened for you right when you started
AT espen or is it something you've, developed BECAUSE i,
mean being easy to work with is about ninety percent
of the battle in calling games ON.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Tv you know? That?

Speaker 4 (24:13):
YEAH i THINK i think for, me the theme WHEN
i got into broadcasting was to, contribute need to be the,
Star just, Contribute AND i started early, on in like
three man booths BECAUSE i was the rookie and they'd
always have like two veterans with, me and so you'd
have a veteran play by play guy and a veteran,
analyst and then they just add this picture that just

(24:35):
retired or has a jot to do a few. Broadcasts
so it was just to contribute and to figure out
the mechanics of the. Broadcast you, know not to start
a story with one out and the man on, first
because in one picture could be a double play and
the inning would be over and now your story gets broken.
Up to to not take the bait from your play
by play guy that maybe he asked you a, question
but you glance at the scoreboard and, say, oh there's

(24:56):
two strikes and two. OUTS i Think i'm going To
commercials are really short answer on. This so for, me
it's always, been you, KNOW i want to make the,
team AND i also want to contribute to the, team
AND i want to be a team, player AND i
think that works best with broadcasting and entertaining people when
you're doing it with multiple. People i'm not like a

(25:18):
stand up comic that does it one on.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
One Laurel herscheiser a team player who has become an
absolute star because of that at so many different levels
entertainment and. Baseball The Hollywood walk Of fame, tomorrow go
See orel stand in the Street august, thirteenth eleven. Thirty
Am costas will be there and everybody else right by

(25:40):
The house Of wax and The house Of illusion across
From Ripley's believe it or, not.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
Oral the play between the lines with This dodgers team right,
now they've been an under five hundred team since The
All star, break but maybe a little momentum the last
two nights with these comfort behind wins Against Kansas, city
who you know on paper they're supposed to. Be but
what are you seeing out of this team right now
here middle Of.

Speaker 4 (26:02):
August, well you, know a couple of things need to shape, up,
right and they've started to shape up in the last
couple of. Days the rotation needs to round into form
and get. Healthy, well we saw that was S google And,
snell and that's a really good start to add The
aamamoto And sasaki and Maybe glassnew comes back And otani's come.
Back that's a really good start to round that into
form and have time to get ready For. October the

(26:25):
other thing that really is starting to round into form
and will get longer and really harder to get through
is the, Lineup and that last night that was significant
part Was Mookie. Vetts so If mooki can Be moki
And freddy can Be, freddy And otani does his, thing
and Then Will smith comes back and is, healthy And
taosker can turn it around a little, bit And tucker
has started to look like, himself and all of a

(26:45):
sudden it becomes a really hard lineup to come through go.
Through SO i don't worry about this streak they've been,
through And i'm glad they've figured out a way to
win a couple of games and maybe pile on and
gain some. Momentum BUT i think this time will be
all forgotten if they win The World series or if
they don't go to The World series and don't win,

(27:05):
it because we will be analyzing and looking At october
a lot more. Closely so you like when the segments
of the team that you need In october start to
perform now in the regular, season but those are only
just like. Symptoms they need the foundation and just to
keep doing it when they Reach, october.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
You, know or every time you're on a broadcast on
sports and AT LA i get a texture a buddy
who says volume up because they learn about something in
the game because the way you teach it and the
way you talk about. It what are you seen In
Blake snell after last? Night in, particular coming back, afterwards
he said he felt? Different is he able to extend
his arm more on? Pitches have the same? Armslot tell,

(27:47):
us you know baseball, savants here a little bit about
what you saw From Blake snell last. Night how different
maybe he looked then before these loose body elbow surgery he.

Speaker 4 (27:55):
Had, well if there were loose bodies in, there maybe
some of them got, bigger maybe more we're, around and
maybe he was experiencing stiffness and health that he never
knew that it was a possibility they were out of.
There so what if there were three at one time
and then there was, five and then there were, seven
and then it was nine and now they had to
shut him. Down everybody plays, hurt not everybody can play.

(28:18):
Injured and so, yes we see guys come back From
Tommy john surgery.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
And they're throwing the ball.

Speaker 4 (28:24):
Better, well that's because the rubber band was stretching as
they got into. Surgery then it.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Broke now they have a year.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
To recover and get stronger in all parts of their.
Body have everything, recover they come back throwing. Harder, well
they're throwing harder because they have a new rubber, band
but they're also throwing harder because they haven't had to
pitch for a year and they've got everything healthy and
ready to. Go so WHAT i, saw AND i was
texting during the, game even THOUGH i was doing the
game to a lot of intelligent people in baseball that

(28:50):
were watching it ON tv or watching it in, person
and they were, saying this might be the best we've
Seen Blake smell in. Years like back To Tampa Bay,
Day like this curveball is completely. Different it's not only,
breaking but it has a second. Gear it not only
can go straight, down but it can go more left

(29:10):
to right now and have that extra gear to go
low and. Away he threw one last night to a
left handed hitter that started at his right shoulder of
a left handed hitter and ended up low and, away
slightly off the plate.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
And slightly down and just made the guy look.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
Ridiculous so we've seen great breaking balls up here from
Kersh we've seen him From Blake trinan in his. Prime
we've Seen Evan phillips throw ones that are just looked like.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Frisbees that's the kind.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
Of breaking ball that he had last. Night but the
most impressive thing for me was the efficiency and the
ability to locate the ball with all those, pitches with
the fastball location at the top of the zone at
ninety seven to ninety, eight with the fastball location low
and away to a left eat all of a sudden zappat,
there with the, changeup the be ability to have finesse
after just coming, back and then the gear and the

(29:58):
location on that. Curveball it really was maybe the Best
i've ever Seen blake snellthrow in.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Person amazing stuff From Hollywood, star just Like Clark gable
And Victor, Mature Oral hersheizer now OR i SPENT i
spent the first segment explaining To, tim you, know as
far as these billionaires and The lakers being sold in
like three days or, something that.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
You, know these things.

Speaker 2 (30:23):

know we don't understand their crazy.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Ways we're like.

Speaker 4 (30:33):

Speaker 2 (30:36):
We're like the unfrozen caveman. Lawyer we're, like, oh you,
know it frightens. Us but like a guy like you
with a star on The Hollywood walk Of, fame surely
you had some kind of inkling that this was gonna,
happen Right like you're at those cocktail parties right Oral, Like.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
OH I i Thought tim got it right that these
things can get done. QUICKLY i Thought tim did some research.
Today you, know he knew money wasn't gonna be, there
and he's, like, oh we're going to have to cover
this big.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
NEWS i Thought tim was locked. In these things happened.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
QUICKLY i, MEAN i don't know how quickly you can
get A chevrolet over At oorl's.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
PLACE i heard you talking about your house and the,
realtors and.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
It took me a month to get a pod removed
from the.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
Driveway OR i, mean maybe we were playing the doorbell
sign the whole TIME i was on the one ten.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Getting to the.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
Stadium i'm, like and they just stop the. Doorbell oh,

Him after spending the afternoon In hollywood with Oral Er,
Scheizer god bless. You congratulations, man thanks for doing it.
Today you guys are the. Best what a prince the?
Best he washed him up pretty. Good you, see he
said it could happen in three. Days but if i'd
bat and he lives in a, circle, yeah well he.
Does but IF i went To Oral's chevrolet Oral Herscheizer

(32:13):
Bulldog Chevrolet, enchino AND i was, like, HEY i want A,
silverado AND i wanted to be silver like one of those.
TESTS i wanted to look like the flight of The,
navigator thing like, salt silvery like those you, know that
might take more than three. Days and you, say, wow

(32:34):
it took me longer to get a Silvery silverado At
Bulldog chevy with Oral herscheizer that it did for The
lakers to sell from one billionaire to.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Another let's say you wanted to go To Legends attic
you know what Orl hirscheizer's affiliate with and runs in
it more if they weren't involved with a. Competitor, YEAH i,
mean it's it takes a long time to get what
you want where you're looking. For as far as, memorabilia
you can't just get it right there on the. Spot
but you can sell AN nba franchise in seventy two. Hours,

(33:07):
again that could be.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
Done.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Well CAN i just say, Personally i'm happy BECAUSE i
don't like The. LAKERS i think most people realize. That
and working here for The, dodgers with The dodgers owning The,
lakers it was probably going to come to fruition WHERE
i was going to have to be a little bit,
nicer or at least somebody might say something and they
try to get me to. HERE i was days away
from having that, conversation, Right AND i don't want to

(33:30):
be nice about The lakers BECAUSE i never liked The.
Lakers given WHEN i was a kid And magic was
doing all this. STUFF i Mean i'd barely stomach. Worthy
oh come, ON.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
I love.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
WORTHY i love a lot Of laker, people But i'm
not A laker, guy AND i was worried With Mark
walter owning The lakers that there was going to be
some kind of crossover now that they're owned by a,
company or at least somebody who's so deeply affiliated with a.
COMPANY i Despise. Disney it's a lot easier fit for
many of.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
US i.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Ain't the unknown to me is the biggest Thing i'm
looking forward to seeing is what are they gonna do
with this? Franchise what are they gonna do That Mark
walter wasn't already. Doing what are they gonna do to
continue what he was? Doing are they on that.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Same that like are like, us like the people that
do radio and the people that DO tv and the
people that like the worthies of the. World they are
immediately just puckering their lips and, turning rotating their their
head for another ass to. Kiss and that's a pretty

(34:31):
quick looking at. You that's a pretty quick ass kissing,
transition you know WHAT i? Mean, LIKE i remember When
Don martin got fired bought or, not didn't? Left left
and uh AND i just say fired because you Know i'm,
stupid but left and there was a new guy that
came AND i was, like is this the? GUY i

(34:51):
don't want to waste my lips on this guy's? Ass
and you see some people, quick there's gonna be another,
ass because Then i'm a to lose ass kissing. Credibility
do you know What i'm. Saying there's a lot of
people to immediately flip to kissing that, ass, Right, Like
i've washed so many, sacks BUT i can only you
know WHAT i. Mean BUT i don't want to be

(35:13):
seen as a serial sack, washer RIGHT i want to
be seen as somebody who as a genuine. Person right,
AGAIN i think a lot of people Like geter are
having trouble like HOW i need the jaws of life
to remove myself from this, ass only to be shoved
up another.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
One in this little small world That geeter lives, in
you know that those broadcasters live, in they have a
lot of. Questions. Now laker fans even wide are out
looking at their, thinking how are they gonna run my?
Team are they gonna run this?

Happening we find out. Everything we have information people that
tell us everything that's happening before it.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Happens, well that's the, thing there's not information people. Anymore
what they are are delegates for. Entities Like ramona basically
functioned as a delegate for everybody here. Involved and she
told the only the parts of the story that they wanted,
told and that's why they gave her the story to break.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
It and quotes and all of.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
It that's that's how it.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
Works so is that Like Bob woodward digging and fighting
and figuring out a. Story, no it's being dictated To
and sadly that's What Adam schefter. Does, now that's what
the cologne drenched sham Chabloon sharonia does love shams AT.
ESPN i DON'T i think what they do as an

(40:50):
insult to what journalists used to. Do Like Robert duvall's
character in The Natural Max Mercy Journalist World card.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Two journalism's, changed, though it's because the poor.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
Change has become a completely and totally dishonest and like
there's no such thing as journalists anymore if you're a
reporter or an, INSIDER i mean an insider making millions
of dollars a. Year just got revealed for having an
affair with AN nfl coach for, years and everybody's.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
Like, oh, undrew that was.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
Weaponing, Okay LIKE i DON'T i don't care what people are,
doing but don't sit here and wave your finger in
my face with the holier than Thou ivory. Tower i'm
a journalist AND i have all of, these uh these these,
values AND i have all of these principles THAT i stick.
To all of that is an absolute pile of. Horsecrap

(41:42):
they're all, Liars they're all people that are just like everybody,
else like drowning, rats trying to claw over each other
in a competition to get the. Story how do you
get the? Story you get. Access how do you get the?
Access you kiss ass and you do exactly what they
tell you to, do which is What ramona did. Here,
CONGRATULATIONS i don't need A stanford, Degree, ramona to know

(42:05):
that you're on the take, Here god In, heaven all of.
Them it's not, Journalism SO i don't. CARE i believe.
It tell me that The dodgers sold in three, Days
i'd believe.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
IT i did.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
Too you tell me The lakers sold in three, DAYS
i believe. It even THOUGH i can't buy an electric
bike for my son it takes. WEEKS i will. IMAGINE
i will believe that The lakers sold in three. DAYS
i don't care to not believe it doesn't help me
to not believe.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
IT i wonder how Much Adam silver had to do
with this.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Everything how much do you think Bud selik had to
do when they Pushed frank McCord out of The, dodgers, everything.
Everything how much do you think he had to do
with positioning The Guggenheim group to buy The dodgers and
make The dodgers great because they need relevancy.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
On the coach.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
Everything we live in a, simulation And i'm fine with.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
That i'm. FINE i just want to be left. Alone
three days took three, days three, days three.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Days But i'm not going to sit here and be,
like congratulations To ramona for breaking this. Story are you kidding?
