with the that made the rock astar, right. I gotta be honest.
Self report, guys, I forgotabout this, totally forgot, totally
forgot about this. Two fifty threeis Lifetime Movie Network. I am filing

(00:46):
a self report and I'll tell youwhy. Over the weekend it hit me,
what hit you? I realized thatI could order Deadly Yoga Retreat on
Apple Music and on Apple TV andpay for it without my having to ask
my wife because I asked my wife, my wife for the Amazon code right,

(01:07):
and she was like her phone right, and she was like, well,
what do you want to buy?I'll just buy it. And I
was like, well, met screwed. I don't want to tell you that
I want to buy Deadly Yoga Retreat. So I said forget it, and
I went downstairs, and then ithit me mat like a diamond bullet in
the forehead. I could see ifthis is available on Apple, and it

(01:29):
was, and I purchased much DeadlyYoga Retreat four ninety nine. And and
did you watch it again? Iwatched. I bounced just forward, I
bounced around. Is the sex sceneas good as you thought when you caught
it in your periphery sitting here inthe studio with me eternally disappointing? That's
what I thought, very disappointing.But there was a knife attack later.

(01:55):
Oh in the jungle. H that'sright. We never saw the ending,
right. They go on a junglelike romp. They go on like a
hike or like a camping trip,and he starts picking all the ladies off
one by one on the trip,all of them. And this one girl's
like talking as to him. She'slike, you really suck, You're the
worst. And her friend's like,get away from him, come over here,
now, get away from him,and she's like no, keeps talking,

(02:16):
and then she just wears the knifeto the chest. So does the
saucy little blonde end up killing himin the end, I believe so yeah,
yeah, and then you know,embraces her husband or whoever on the
beach and then it's over. Thething is these wrap up really fast?
Yes, as we learned the otherday, like six, is that Katie

(02:37):

(05:43):
David Vassay will join us in thefour o'clock hour to talk about the
walker Bueller, a big horseman.Oh yea Kentucky going out there and perfect
day for Bueller to make his regard. That's that's true. We'll have a
top story of the day. Iwonder it's about Alana, how is your

(06:03):
weekend? Or as much as Viccarries Otani's water, Otani does not have
nearly the army of water carriers thatLebron has. Well, A lot of
people are very upset, uh disseminatinginformation over the weekend about the greatness of
Lebron James. Uh. This,I just want to read you this text,
okay, like I don't know.Text does a fine brought to you

(06:26):
by your so called Toyota dealers,I don't know. We make it easy.
What was happening on Rogan and Rodneybefore we got on? But it's
the haikuve. It comes on rightbefore we come on. When I see
a text which I'm assuming is froma black man because it has eight black
middle fingers, I could never bea veteran. At the end, don't
as soon, petros Well, it'sas eight black middle fingers. And then
it says vic so f vic ff f f f f f F VIC

(06:53):
from my black hand. This sayssit and spin vic Vic is on math.
There is no other explanation as towhy he just said what he said
on that dumb ass haikup segment.He said Shack or James Worthy of the
next Laker head coach. Dumb asshuh, dumb ass question mark, question
mark, question mark, black middlefinger, black middle finger, black middle

(07:15):
finger, black middle finger, blackmitle finger, black middle finger, black
middle finger, black middle finger,space capital V. I see, huh,
that's a good thing, right yourthoughts, VIC, I'm throwing everyone
into the mix of this point.Huh. But before I get into the
whole old Tawny Son, glorious weekend, the Dodgers glorious week Wait, let

(07:39):
me let me read that. What'smonth'sly three home runs? Let me read
this text weekend? Let me readthis text for you, VIC, So
you just know what kind of environmentyou're stepping into, because once you did
the half hour before begets this likethe old Testament? Do you hate your
listeners? What do you despise thepeople who turn into tune into your show?

(07:59):
Huh? Is that why you inflictVIC the brick upon them? In
some ways? Yes, you wantto throw Worthy and Shack in the mix.
Neither has ever been a coach.Don't you think somebody needs experience to
coach the Lakers? Vic? Youneed wisdom, you know, you gotta

(08:24):
know the game and you must understandthe Lakers tradition. Over the weekend,
I'm just you know, I'm ponderingwho should be the next head coach of
you Los Angeles Lakers. I'm saying, pass Riley from Kentucky understand the Lakers
tradition? Did Phil Jackson, longtimeNew York Nick Chicago Bulls head coach,

(08:46):
understand the Lakers tradition? Weed insideof a TP two most successful coaches they
also understand the Lakers tradition. ButI mean neither of those did. And
those are the two most successful coachesin the history of the team, right,
this is this is twenty twenty four. I believe the Lakers were at
the crossroads and the head coaching slotand just it seems like you should hire

(09:09):
a coach inserting, you know,let Laker icons into the mix, who
can off a council and maybe notas a head coach, but sho they
had Magic Johnson do that as aGM and it was a galactic failure.
Remember the whole coaching staff is vacantas well. It wasn't just yeah,

(09:30):
this whole coaching staff. Yeah,you were saying head coach the like,
yeah, you want to put themon your staff. Fine, you know,
give him a seat on that secondrow there and all as well.
I'm putting some I'm putting some formallakers into the mix. That's my point.
Okay, fair enough. Do youthink it will happen? No?
You don't think James Worthy would bean incredibly wonderful coach. No, I

(09:52):
don't. I don't think you wantto do it. And I think you
don't get into your sixties and allthe Yeah, decide I want to do
that. I'll be a head coach. Now, I'm gonna grind. He
has such an incredible knowlogy. It'sa big game. Yeah, that's been
Vic. You have to scout opponents. I mean, it's a relentless it's
a relentless grind. You hire thestaff. You got to hire the staff.

(10:16):
But before I get deeper into it, Oh no, don't you say
Now, listen, you know whatyou said. You know you know what
we said, Vic, You knowwhat we said about how to how to
refer to him? Yeah, letme read you this text. Vic is
driving me rut nuts right now.He literally said every name on the Dodgers
roster over thirty minutes of his musings. But he said Otani san at least

(10:37):
two dozen times. You can't doit. WTF, WTF, people get
upset? Look at this Vic fiveto one two, I'm gonna put a
wrecking I'm gonna punt a wrecking ballinto Vic's nuts if he ever leaves Wittier
again. And then he writes againin all caps to really pontificate like when

(10:58):
he when when Joel Meyers said toBilly Mack, you're a snake, and
then he walked five steps, wheeledon his heels, pointed and said,
you're an effort snake. This saysI'm gonna punt a wrecking ball into Vic's
nuts if he ever leaves witty oragain, punting it. And that's from
Austin Vick. You know that.Five to one to two. Listen,

(11:20):
If we cannot give love to Otanion this amazing weekend, can we give
well and we appreciate you saying Otanishow? Hey, should we set the
tone with a home run? Shouldwe set the tone? If Kate's is
done chatting with Katie? Is Katiein there chatting it up with she was
in for Regan and Rodney today becauseKevin figures is on paternity to leave and

(11:43):
fully functional employee. Adham was muchtoo despondent because of the Clippers loss to
be rEFInd I didn't want to facedidn't want to face the music. Well,
he didn't want to face Rodney andFred Right. They had to give
him twenty smelling salts just to gethim up to do the Larry Frank thing.
My home ahead to run across thethree lanes, swung on it hit
well to center field. This one'sdeep, heading back to the wall that

(12:05):
goes and it's gone home run show, Hey old Tunny, his ninth of
the season, and the Dodgers jumpout in front. Two nothing, swing
on and hammer deep center field,way back in gone our first pitch home
run for show, Hell Tony,it is five to one Otani with two

(12:31):
home runs today he goes four forfour. Oh, what a monster shot,
per Otani. I can tell you'reexcited, Vic, but are you
so excited that you won't be ableto handle protocol here on the Petros and
Money Show. I'd love to handlethe protocol. And before we get deeper,

(12:54):
Oh, you got another caveat thewinds were whipping so hard at the
Beach Festival at Rodondo. Oh,yesterday zz Tops Billy Gibbons beard ended up
in Santa Monica. It did.Yeah, his beard was blown off.
When they blew zz Top's beard off, they pulled the plug on Beach Life.

(13:16):
I spent most of the weekend,though, to be honest, uh,
feeling sorry for myself because I wasremoved from the Beach Life stream VIC.
So when I heard that the windhad knocked them out on Sunday,
no, I was just as surprisedas anybody because I heard the news when
everybody else heard the news. Iwant I want everybody to be able to
see the concert and enjoy the music. Get what you paid for. I'm

(13:39):
not that way, Matt what,I'm not that way, No, not
at all. I still wanted BeachLife to have success. Yeah. Now
did I ever get my passes?Come on? I never got him mine.
Come on, So even if Iwanted to go, I had no
passes. Come on, And Itold that. I told Jake Joelivette,

(14:01):
the great Fox producer, that Iwould take him to see my morning jacket.
And when he texted me on EasterSunday morning for the Greeks, when
are we going? I had nothing. Clay Pot on his head. I
told him, Yeah, just actlike you're walking down to the street in
Corfu and the deputy mayor is aboutto push one of these clay box on
your dome. Hey all ride aseal it, don't he got it?

(14:31):
Uh? Yeah? Uh So Iwasn't there, Vic, did you think
I was there? I was firedfrom Beach Life. Basically I used to
do their stream, but they toldme today last week that they didn't need
me, and that they hired aKing's ice girl, Kylie Kylie, who
did the rapp with I believe shedid the wrapper rounds if they got him
in until Zeezi tops Beard blew toSanta Monica. Well, I hope she

(14:54):
made some hazard pay for the heavywins. I believe she was pre recorded.
Way you have a set rate.I would have been live and I
could have said, hey, thesewinds are blown us away. Just got
blown off. We got to cancelthis. But I was they didn't need
me this year. Vic. I'mnot bitter about it at all. I
did spend a great deal of theweekend feeling sorry for me. Thanks for

(15:16):
bringing it up, Vic, appreciateit. But listen, my morning jacket
was they didn't play it was canceled. It was cancer. It is easy
top. Yes, yeah, there'sseveral bands did not make it to the
stage. You get a beard,you know, when hair is ripped off
your face in a violent manner.The search continues for the beard. But

(15:37):
it was a very uncomfortable weekend.Uh, you know, like I went
to my son's game and hey,man, I thought you'd be a god.
I'm sorry, I'm hungover. Howare you look pretty good today?
I'm pretty hungover. When you werebeach Life last night, weren't you?
I was fired? Yeah, thismorning at yoga. How was your weekend?
I bet it was wild? Iwas fired unceremonious a job until I

(16:00):
reached out and so what time youwant me there? And they said,
we go. We don't need youour bed. We didn't want you to
have to get up early in themorning and go stand on that boat.
But hey, to do the jobyou've done for the last six years.
Still got the passes all Access dialedyou out. Love to see you.
Stinks playing? How cool is that'dbe great to see you. Let's have

(16:21):
a drink. I never received mypasses. Sous Neil Sevadra was there okay,
doing the Fork Report for KFI.I didn't notice that. I bet
he got passes. He was there, he told met him for the Fork
Report. He Adam, he wasthere. I'm trying concert food for the

(16:42):
Fork Report. And then so Ihad to ask other people. And I
couldn't ask the Beach Life people whofired me for tickets for my producer friend.
So I asked Dave Weese for BeachLife tickets which we had to give
away earlier in the week. Iwas rebuffed. I asked Nick Rieira,
our dear friend who just makes sandwichesthere, if he could pull any wristbands

(17:06):
off of his sandwich makers from myfriend and from Fox, and he said
somebody did that earlier at another booth, and they came around and just tighten
everybody's wristband. And I said,you know, I have really gone from
rags to riches to rags here Ihave become I've gone from rags. Yeah,

(17:26):
like I wasn't naked. I wasonce in the King's court chopping it
up with John Popper and as manyharmonicas in his vest at Beach Life,
and now I'm out, I'm outsidescrounging like the backstreets and naples begging for
secondhand wristbands for my producer friends soI don't look like a loser. Thanks

pride swallowing siege all weekend. Brother, Listen, you were the spirit of
that of that Beachfest festival. Youwere the spirit. You've been there six

Man. Once you cross that bridge, my friend, the curse is gone.
It's powers act. A lot ofstump speeches over the weekend, a

(22:00):
lot of protectionism, a lot ofexcuse making, you know, a lot
of people catching strays that shouldn't becatching strays. I did like seeing Alex
Curry doing the running Man on Instagramat Beach Life. She looked like she
was having the time of her life. She wears like a Joni Mitchell or
kind of kaftan looking out there.Yeah, well, she mixes it up

(22:22):
each day. She's got something different. Yeah, you're right, pants suit
one day, you know a bitof a I'm sure it's laid out a
rope kind of deal. Yesterday andyou know it's like, is this a
Sunday outfit or is this a Saturdayand it's sinkle to mile? So what
do I do? I always smileon that that Alex Curry, you know,
always having a good time. Theopponent texted me and he said that

(23:33):

do it right on Monday. That'sright, hey, everybody. Paul Smokers.
Yes, the Fumadors back on theair on I seventy La Sports,
Hello it is and I'm a horseMonday, I'm a boy and it's also

(23:56):
a Modello meets a lot of Mondayon PMS. Modello is the best.
It's not a real meat if it'snot made with mother Low or a reward
for those with a fighting spirit.Tim Kaits takes over with Morongo Casino Dodgers
on Deck at six had a Mikewanathat was tasty. Did be a tasty
matchup against the Marlins and Walker Bueleron the mountainn whoa first time in two

(24:17):
years? How do you like menow, Kentucky Buler, friend of the
show? You like me now?Kentucky? Good Derby Michelle, you was
right, she was right. Youput that. You go by a good
one. You go eye to eyewith that horse and he he turns it
down like a bitch. She saidit all right. It's time for the
top story of the day, Topstory of the Hell of a Weekend,

(24:40):
pe Hell of a weekend. FridayNight, the Clippers were vanquished, adding
to the failures the post season failuresin this fine city of ours. Monday
Lakers, Wednesday Kings, Friday Clippersand now We've got baseball, Dodger baseball,
a dominant weekend for the men inblue. That hope. He provided

(25:00):
the sal for that gaping wound ofplayoff failure thanks to the Kings, Clippers
and Lakers getting bounced in the firstround elimination. Nation. That's what we
are. And one hundred and fiftythousand people at Dodger Stadium on weekend long
sellouts. I'm huge series. Bringit up, hey, playoff preview there
it is very strong, showing youlike what you saw. Let's think about

(25:22):
October when the stakes are the greatestand the environment is hot. Oh,
Tommy delivers, and that's what wesaw this weekend. Maybe it's arrived already.
Maybe our Dodger run has arrived.We're used to the forty wins in
forty five games, maybe nine totwo. We are in the midst of
it right now. But we'll puta pin in that and save that story

(25:45):
for another day. Because this weekendpee oh, they were out. They
were out in full force while LebronJames, like Homer Simpson, fell back
into the bushes. Yeah, he'sdisappeared. See Lebron has fired a coach,
So now he's gonna lay low,let the minions do something, and

(26:07):
then he'll pop his head back outwhen all is clear, and he'll do
something to get attention the bootloquor boys, let their opinions be known. You
know, that's a long line,Matt, it is. That's why it
was all weekend long Choose your Embraceddebate stage in which Lebron's well connect from
Clutch Sports was able to pitch outsome talking points. And ultimately, this

(26:33):
is what it comes down to.And I think this is where the old
heads that once were in the JamesGang and are now out realized the air
of their ways. Okay, Andit's something that's been discussed and kicked around.
This is by no means the firsttime it's ever been said. But
everybody always made an excuse for Lebron. He's so incredibly talented. He is

(26:56):
such a dominant basketball force. Allof his shortcomings couldn't possibly be his fault.
There's nothing that he did that hasled to the Lakers not finishing higher
than seventh place in five of hissix years here. It's must be his
teammates. It must be an illfitting supporting cast. There's not enough shooters

(27:18):
around him to spread the floor soLebron can operate and maximize his gifts.
It's Anthony Davis getting hurt and inthat stretch of three minutes in that elimination
game that prevented the Lakers from winning, even though it came down to the
final shot, Lebron was nowhere inthe frame when it was time to man
up on defense and try to pushthis thing in overtime. No would have

(27:40):
like to see a man up alittle there. It's Lebron taking the stage
in a postgame presser after blowing atwenty point lead, and instead of taking
responsibility, I'm the leader of thisteam. This was my twenty first year.
I've won four championships. I needto make sure that never happens again.
And what did he do? Hetalked about a foul call that was

(28:03):
overturned with thirty nine seconds left inthe third quarter. That's what he chose
to use that platform for, insteadof taking responsibility. Will shake it off,
will bounce back in gate game three? No, can you believe that?
You believe that s what's the pointof even having a replay in New
York if that's how it's going toturn out. That was his talking point.
So here we are with many people'stalking points as it pertains to Lebron

(28:27):
one of them, and this iskind of the primary that is being pushed
by multiple outlets. Well, it'sclear that job was just too big for
Darvin Ham. It's clear that hejust wasn't ready for you. So,
now that we've had a little timeto digest and look back, you can't.
You can't have a Lakers head coachbe a first time head coach with

(28:48):
Lebron James on the roster. Yeah, it's just it's a bad fit.
You got to have someone with moregravitas, someone that's more of an x's
and o's In Darvin Ham, hejust he wasn't ready for it. The
second thing they push on is,well, you want to hang this on
Lebron? What happened all the coacheshe fired? If getting rid of all

(29:11):
these coaches was somehow a Lebron Jamesthing, how did they fare after they
were fired? Luke Walton still coaching? Darvin Ham gonna get a job anytime
soon? Has Mike Brown won anything? Byron Scott was terrible in Cleveland and
terrible in LA. That interesting aboutVick's takes like bringing back the old It's
like Jerry West is four hundred yearsold. Uh Mike, Mike Matgic Johnson

(29:37):
tried to do it. It wasterrible and it was awful. It was
a complete disaster. And then wehad the terrible situation with uh Luke Walton
Byron Scott Lyrn Scott like, don'tthere's one thing you don't do, it's
bring back former Lakers pat Riley alittle bit different, a into the bench
Lakers role player as opposed to well, it was a different time too,

(29:59):
and it was a different time.You've got the fist from chick for a
few years. When I close,it'll be after a while you won't even
have to see it. You'll knowyou're getting the fist. But that's the
other thing. Okay, So he'sfired all these coaches. What did Frank
Vogel do in Phoenix? What didhe do in Indiana when he wasn't with
Lebron? He gets Lebron, hewins a title? What did Mike Brown

(30:21):
do went to the finals without him? Nothing? All these guys have not
had success. Eric Spolstra, wellseems like Eric Sposter's but done all right?
Hey, getting fired as a headcoach. And this is one of
the reasons why a lot of peopleare taking up for Darvin Ham. It's
hard to get a shot. Itis hard to get one of these thirty
jobs. And when you work underPopovich for a number of years and then

(30:41):
you're working for another five six yearsunder Mike Budenholzer, you win a championship
with Pop, you win a championshipand an assistant coach with Boots and now,
okay, I was the lead assistant. We won a title in Milwaukee.
I'm gonna get my chance. Lebronhad destroyed his opportunity exactly. And
that's what happens is these guys getan opportunity, Lebron fires them, and

(31:03):
now no one's touching Darvin Ham becausethese people are leaking stories about how Lebron
and Anthony Davis were drawing up playson their own because they had no faith
in the x's and o's that DarvinHam was concocting during timeouts postseason poison Matt
poison pellets perpetrated by Lebron's people.Now that is some outstanding the literation right

(31:26):
there. Amazing. Last time Ichecked, I've been reading a lot of
confidential matts. The Lakers made theconference finals the first season with Darvin Hams
their head coach, and they wonmore games this past year forty seven than
they had the year prior, andhad one of the best records post Valentine's

(31:48):
Day in order to save their season, going from eleventh place all the way
up to the seventh hole, andwon a road play in game and won
a n N season tournament. Yetthis guy can't coach. And that's the
main problem is you are altering theseguys career for the rest of their lives.
And whether or not darvinham ever getsa shot again is I would say
highly unlikely because of all the LebronJames sick offense that are trying to point

(32:14):
out, well, this was obvious, this had to be done. Here
is potentially one of the hires thatis mentioned with Mike Budenholzer, Kenny Atkinson,
Taran Lu and Lebron's podcast partner formerplayer has never coached a minute in
his life, JJ Reddick. Ifthey can chop it up about some good

(32:35):
wine, He's a man who doesa lot of pods. They're gonna have
a great conversation about some chateau MontelenaCabernet, nineteen eighty four. The wine
that finds its way onto the Lakercharter for road games. I mean,
Joe Myers might as well have beenbringing on two buck chuck when it comes
to what JJ, Reddick and Lebronare going to bring on that plane as
they move around this country. Buthere is JJ, a popular podcast partner

(32:58):
for a plethora of presentations, sittingdown with Shack discussing the goat, the
Michael Jordan versus Lebron James debate thathappens regularly on these sort of outlets.
I refuse to get into the goatdebate. I don't care. They didn't
play against each other. What makeshim great is the fact that he's done

(33:20):
it now for twenty one years.It's not at the highest level. Yeah,
Lebron's never averaged thirty five in ayear. Guess what He's averaged twenty
five or more for twenty straight years. We're nitpicking a lot of times.
We're comparing errors like I'll say thiswith Michael Jordan, and I don't mean
this to be controversial. Michael Jordanduring his heyday, six teams were added
to the NBA. They were ninetyplayers added to the NBA. Does that

(33:42):
not water down? I'm not talkingplayoffs, by the way, No chance
with talking playoffs. You're not tellingme that the league for a little bit
is going to be a little watereddown for a guy that doesn't want to
get into the goat debate. Hey, if you JJ, it seems like
he got into the goat debate,like, yeah, hey, all you
guys that are pushing Kobe average thirtyfive, Lebron never averaged thirty five.

(34:02):
Michael Jordan average thirty five. Hey, Michael played in the water down league
and Lebron has averaged twenty five fortwenty years point Lebron. So now JJ
apparently wants the Laker Josh and iswilling to politic for Lebron in a go
debate with Shaquille O'Neal that upset formerPetros and Money regular Eddie Johnson, the
color analyst for the Sons, andthe two have now been in a Twitter

(34:27):
war all day long. Three pointshooting Eddie Johnson, Yes, yes,
so he's unhappy, Eddie, saying, you were six years old in the
nineties, you have no idea whatthe NBA was, what it meant to
man up and what a physical brandof basketball it was in the nineties,
So don't talk about it because youdon't know. Yeah, and he then
took shots at Eddie Johnson. JJ. Reddick is a real, real self

(34:52):
assured arrogant. It's like he goesto the Port Royal Yacht Club every day.
Yes, he's a real prince.Yeah. And the condescending nature in
which he delivers as points doesn't meanhe's not a good basketball guy and doesn't
mean he doesn't have an interesting opinion, and it doesn't mean that he doesn't

(35:12):
know his way around that Ferrari Coronotressour. But that being said, Matt
reference very much. Well he does. You know, that's his whole lebron
thing, that being sad man talkingdown to people the way he like it
is. She's going to be ahead coach. Messaging is pretty important,
Yeah, pretty important. Delivery prettyimportant. I mean, just dripping with

(35:37):
self importance. You know, Shack, they had six teams in the nineteen
nineties and by my account, that'sninety players. You don't think it's going
to be watered down, to whichEddie Johnson said, No, you know,
Matt, I don't talk a lotabout football in the nineteenth century because
you look at the stats and yousay, wow, a lot of guys
got trampled to death. Yes,it turns out, you know, death,

(36:00):
maybe it was a real possibility.Maybe they couldn't cover Tyreek Hill,
but maybe they would have trampled TyreekHill to death. So I don't comment
too much on nineteenth century football incollege. You know, if we're doing
the Jack Trice game, sadly weremember. But other than that, try
not to concentrate on it too muchbecause I don't know what it was like

(36:22):
to man up and be like,you know, it was like to be
six' eleven in fly commercial andeat at McDonald's Airport McDonald's. There was
thirty of us on the team beforewe played Northwestern, and now there's twenty
eight on the train headed home toWest Lafayette. Yeah, I don't comment
on it. Not head coach materialis what I would say there, And

(36:44):
that's kind of been is. Andlook, you want to you want to
make a name for yourself. Youwant Tim Kates to say, hey,
it's down Orlowski. Eh. Ilike this guy. I like this guy.
I just breaking it down. Ilike this guy. We got to
start putting them on. I likethe way you're gonna have to make some
waves. You're gonna have to takesome contra virtual positions so people pay attention
to you. Our old friend LouWilliams, wait in, Oh Lou,

(37:07):
Sweet Lou, Sweet Lou. We'refrom where Matt Where was he weighing anaway?
I believe he does a morning showfrom the Gold Club. Nice because
he loves the wings. Oh yeah, I love the wings. That's why
I'm It's called make it Clap inthe a app. Here is Lou Williams
on whether or not JJ Reddick hasa real shot of being the head coach

(37:29):
of the Lakers. There's no chancethat JJ Reddick is going to be able
to command that locker room. Yeah, him and Lebron can sit there and
drink wine together and break down plays. It's a little different when you got
twenty thousand people screaming at you andyou've got eleven other players that you got
to manage as well. And soI'm not saying that JJ isn't fit for
the job. We simply haven't seenhim be fit for the job, right,

(37:50):
So there's only one person that Icould see managing this and I hate
to say it's going to be TylLoo. And the only reason I say
Tylo for this job is because hespeaks the language, he knows how to
communicate with players. He's obviously aproven championship coach. He's been there already
with Lebron. He Okay, that'sthe other thing. At least people that
are talking about how these coaches havedone nothing since they left Lebron, I

(38:14):
mean TYLERU had done anything. Tyler'sClippers teams have been incredibly disappointing. You
know why, because the players stinkwhen the playoffs roll around and they all
get hurt. It's not because he'sa bad coach. It's because his players
suck in the playoffs and they gethurt. I thought that after Charles Barkley's
message that a lot of the mediawould back off take the click. You

(38:37):
know, Charles Barkley saying, Hey, they're not your friends. You think
Lebron James is your friend, He'snot your friends, so stop trying to
make them your friend. But everybody'sgot back in line for free turkeys at
the uh Mookie Betts has given themaway at the Dream Set. Yeah,
it's they're all lined up Windhorse wantshis turkey, and here's Nick Wright wants
his turkey. The only thing peoplethat agree on is that everybody hates Pat

(38:59):
Beverley. It's the only thing toever Yeah, a pepper lady in the
head with a quick pass. Shehad a smart mouth. What she said
was caon on three, So congratulateyou smart mouth. Congratulations water Carriers.

(39:22):
Way to drag down, Darvin Ham, a guy that was celebrated is changing
the culture in the locker room,masterfully handling the Russell Westbrook situation, taking
a team that had won thirty fivegames to the conference finals the following year.
But now apparently you're trash because itcouldn't possibly be Lebron's fault for missing

(39:43):
a three that was wide open thatwould have split games one and two.
Back to Staples Center for games threeand four tied one one. It's your
fault, Darvin Ham. It's funto cover layoff season, and you know
Lebron's gonna pop his head up forsome attention soon. Oh it's the top
of bell commercial doesn't count. Heis a paid endorser. He's gonna pop

(40:06):
his head up and we're gonna beready to smack up like a whack a
mole. I'm not doing the goatthing, Okay, I don't get into
that. However, if you thinkabout it, Lebron has I mean,
Michael was in a water down lead. I refuse to get into the goat
debate. I don't care. Itseems like he kind of them got into
it over the next two minutes.There is no goat debate. Michael Jordan's
the greatest basketball player that ever lived. Everybody else's second period seriously doesn't matter.

(40:32):
And if there was a second,it's not even Lebron, it's Bob
Coosey. Okay, don't at me. Listen to my podcast with John Concact
and Pete Chilcut. It's called oldMan who have the Peete. My prostate
is putting pressure on my anal gland, so I relieved myself regularly. We'll
be back with a secret. Ohno, how was your weekend around?

it's lasted ten years and it's it'sto be honest with you, it's it's

(45:25):
seen its better days. Suck anymore? Yeah, it still does, but
