Speaker 1 (00:11):
Solo sola correram. You travel to search and come back
home to find yourself there dragging everybody and welcome be
(00:35):
and venetos and gracias. You are listening to AM five
seventy l A Sports. You're home of the back to
back World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. The Petres and
Money Show is on the air. The Dodgers are off.
(00:57):
It is the most desolate sand in the teeth, wind storm,
boredom inducing, tedious time of year and the sports calendar
of great sports.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Talk, great sports talk, and that is.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
The MLB All Star Break. There is a reason that
the most inconsequential awards show on Earth, the SPS Yeah,
takes place every year this time of year, because that
is how much this time of year sucks. But lucky
for you, great sports talk is here for you and
(01:39):
we don't need anything like sports to.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Do great sports talk.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Although we do have a great sportsman here. Matt Smith
is out for the entire week. Yes, I know it's
terrible to hear, but Matt is out for the week.
Oh I I am only working two days this week? Wow,
(02:04):
I don't I don't take a lot of time off. No,
I am only working two days this week, but that's okay.
We got tonight. Who needs tomorrow. Let's make it last baby,
Let's find a way. We'll also be doing the show
tomorrow for four hours of great sports.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Talk, great sports talk as well.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
And it's not just Matt Smith that's out. And this
is where things get really problematic because Tim Kates is
out as well. No time, there's never any time I
don't have time to study.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I'm never getting this schedule talk.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I'm not here very often. Pee, but I feel it. Yeah,
with Kate's not being.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
It's like it's like it's like doing trapeze without a net. Yeah,
you know, I mean it really when Kate's isn't here,
it really does remind me of my mother or my
wife being you know, out of town and no one
knows where anything is, and no one wants to disturb
the wife or mother. But it is a big to do. Now,
(03:12):
we do have production help they're distracted in the other
room doing something else, arguing with each other, but we
do have we have two production helpers. It's actually like
a relay team. It's fully functional. Employee Adam, who is
a little bit churlish but always very very professional and
(03:36):
a great basketball man. As you know, Don does great
work with the Clippers. I know you're no longer affiliated,
but you know, Adam and then Zach elk is here,
but Zach for a short period of time, or maybe
he's back on the train. Zach was involved in stand
(03:59):
up comedy, which is not easy, no, very difficult profession
pride swallowing siege and Zach. I think he has a
more ethnic last name, and he changed it, he cut it,
but now I think he's starting to reintroduce.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
He shortened it to elk Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
And now he's taken it.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Back to what is it, el Caldy.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
El Caldy. I always forget Zach. El Caldy is in
to produce the show today along with fully functional employee
at him. So you're right, though without Tim Kats, it's
kind of like flying blind, Petros.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
I feel like you left something very important out of
the equation when it comes to our good friend Zach.
Don't forget Zach is a professional Mui Tai.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I was going to get into his bare knuckles fighting
and all that. It's not pro well, yeah, but you
know he did roll with it, but he already like
broke down the door while we were in the pres episode,
and like about Victor Ortiz, like I was gonna have
to talk to him in the next three minutes, like
and and and Zach.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Just a word to the wise, because I've been coming
in here for a long time, do not ask Ronnie
extra question?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
No, well, come on, not, Ronnie's here. We're lucky to
have Ronnie. We are, are we? Really? I hadn't do that.
I don't know. Very special right now, Ronnie, are saving
the best for last and chill as Ronnie is here
and we are great.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
I'm always here every day that he is. We will
be here next week.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Though, yes, and Tim is out uh and of course
uh Matt is out, but I will be here for
a couple of days. And great sports.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Talk, great sports talk.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
All persevered.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Is Brian Blackmore here?
Speaker 5 (05:49):
I saw him earlier.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I didn't see him.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
I haven't seen him.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Uh No, I did see him. Actually. Is there anything
else you want to know, Ronnie before we move on?
Speaker 4 (05:56):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Not really, thank you. Uh. We had a great event
at the Brewery X, at the wonderful Anaheim Brewery X.
It was very special. It was all about the listeners,
and it's always about the people that show up, and
Dave Weese and George Lee made sure we had prizes
so people felt good and we had music and we
(06:19):
had a great venue, and that is all we need
to make a great event. So it was very special.
I enjoyed a delicious cheeseburger that they make out there
nice at the Brewery x Anaheim. I feel like you
would really like the Brewery x Anaheim. I think I
bet you I would. Ronnie would probably really like it.
We should maybe arrange for him to be at one
of them. At that point.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
That's that's a ways from west Lake Village.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You're right, there's no doubt about it.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
It's aways from the valley.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It's a ways from it's an Anaheim, and it's very deep.
But I was able to take it to the Brewery
x and have a good time with all the listeners.
Always worried that the events are not going to go well,
and they always go pretty well, and then I feel
like apologizing to myself.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
I apologize to Laker fans.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Because why did I give myself so nervous because it
was such a good time. But it was a great time.
We enjoyed ourselves. There will be one more summer event
this year for the Petros and Money Show. It is
not being announced today. I believe in fact there is
no announcement here, so we are not announcing it today.
That brings us to the fact that it's a modello
(07:22):
meet a lot of Monday, thank you, thank you. There's
nothing like a Michalata. In fact, we recently discovered don that,
according to the La Daily News Group, one of the
top five Michalatas in town, and I have no idea
how it sanctioned legally is served out of a white
(07:43):
jeep and a vacant lot. We're a seafood jeep called
Michelada's Guyel with shrimp and mich Alata's and other cameronas
out of a white seafood jeep in Compton. Michalada's Guyel.
Apparently they make one of the finest modelo Michalata's this
(08:07):
side a month and ay now. One of our listeners
said that he went there.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Is it always parked in the same spot.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
So yeah, like a like an area where there's a
lot of pop ups and stuff. I have no idea
how it's legal. One of our listeners said he went there,
but then he sent me pictures that I also found online,
like pictures that were from their yelp inside, and he
kind of sold the pictures as his own. So that
made me feel like maybe the listener didn't go there
(08:43):
and was trying to get Michalada's guy l kred that
he did not deserve. But anyway, the finest Meechalata in America,
one of them, they.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Say in America, it was California.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I mean, what you know, what are you saying?
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Like he said, oh, our Michelada is a thing like
on the East Coast.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Probably not right, I don't know, just like tri Tip isn't.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Try Tip's not a thing on the East Coast.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
No, they don't.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I don't think artichunks aren't a thing on the East Coast.
Artichokes are not a thing.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I've had multiple people come out here, either to our
house or just at a party or whatever. They're like,
what the hell is Trytail?
Speaker 6 (09:25):
How do you think they embrace Moho potatoes on the
East Coast?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
There? Petros the hell or Moho potatoes?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Right, there's a Shaky's commercials on the air here, and
it's gotta be some AI idiot or somebody trying too hard.
Speaker 7 (09:40):
And it's supposed to be mojo potatoes, and they say, get.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Your moho potatoes.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
What exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I know what?
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Mojo potatoes are? Never heard of?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Mohope, never heard of. Well, you hear about them every
day here.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
You'll probably hear it in the next few minutes.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Okay, it is time to promote our co host today
sitting in the chair. You're Southern California Toyota Dealer, celebrity
guest microphone. The next ass he kisses will be the
(10:16):
first known as the leading scorer in the history of
the Pac twelve and UCLA basketball. He calls games in
the Pac twelve. He calls games for Fox Big ten,
FS one Thready. He is the Baron of Box Canyon,
(10:40):
and he is also known for his great development of
lottery and other NBA draft players for CAA Sports Basketball,
where he has created a whole second or third career
for himself. It is the one and only Don mcle
on the Petrosen Money Show right during the NBA Free
(11:05):
agency but on the verge of a vacation. Thank you
for being here. Yeah, always great to be here.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
It feels like it's been a while since I've been here,
but this time of year. It's always nice to pop in,
even though, like you said earlier, not a whole lot
going on sports wise this time of year. But you're right,
tomorrow leaving for vacation and me being me, I will
start thinking about the upcoming basketball season probably after that.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Now do you think do you think you will ever
find your way back to a Petrosen Money summer tour
event or remote, because back in the early days of
the Petrosen Money Show, I believe you were an annual
(11:51):
summer guest at at least one tour stop. It was
almost kind of written into your deal that you had
to come down. And I don't know if it was
your back. I think you did have some back problems
at some point, and you used the back problem to
vault your way completely out of the running of the
Pettersen Money summer time.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
I think that ran side by side with you guys
getting deeper and deeper into Orange County in the I e.
For your summer tours. You're right, I haven't missed one
at Tarantula Hill, that's true.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
You're right.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
I mean you used to have some in the valley.
They're not all far now.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I don't spend a lot of time in Thousand Oaks.
But my wife's uh had her you know, she went
to Royal High in uh in Highlanders forever, not like
the pioneers of Sea me I, but my wife went
to Royal High and they had their their reunion right
across the street from Tarantula Hill. What's that other place
(12:49):
called the Tipsy Goat? That's right, And we were at
the Tipsy Goat and I was like looking over at
Tarantula Hill and I was like, God, damn, there's a
lot of people over there, like that place is.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Packed, that that has become the go to for the
twenty something crowd.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Well, I was just like, they don't need us, Like
they don't need us at all at Tarantula Hill.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
What day of the week was it that you were
at Tipsy Goat? It must have been like a Saturday.
And I was like a but it was popping off
and I was like, good lord, dude, you should see
that place the night before Thanksgiving. Oh, that turns like
an hour and a half line to get in. Kyle
takes it over to the Tipsy Goat.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Now, yeah, see the Tipsy Goat seemed like, you know,
that was like a place where you might pick up
some stragglers. But I have to admit I was at
the Brewery X the other day and in Anaheim, and
we were talking with the people there and they said
that it's and we always fill it up and there's
great amount of people that come there and it's always packed.
(13:50):
Not uncomfortable, but it's packed. They said it's standing room
only two nights a week, and they put it up
on big screens for Love.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Island No Way.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, that's where the Mexican dudes go to get to
find that tort does. And I asked the guy said,
it's like, you know, shooting fish, and a barely said
it's more like fishing with dynamite. I mean, I used
to think, you know, great sports to a lot of
these venues needed great sports talk, but it turns out
they don't. They just need to open up and serve
(14:21):
beer and liquor, and young people find them. They might
not even need great sports talk at all.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Great sports talk.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Now, we will have one more event this summer and
we will announce it at some point, but I'm not
going to be able to announce it when Tim Kates
isn't here. It's like telling you know your parents. That
your wife is pregnant, you know, without your mom there,
So it's going to be very difficult to.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Get that done.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
But we will have another event this summer done. I
know that you're looking forward to it.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
As long as it's remotely close to where I live.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
It will not be and you will not be there.
But we appreciate your patronage, and we appreciate everybody being
here and listening to great sports talk, great sports talk,
this fine day in America. Now I believe we do
have Zach are you in there or are you talking
to Adam? Are you guys going through something? We do
have Gary Klein joining us. That was a late ad
(15:09):
for this hour because of the breaking news regarding Aaron Donald,
the super swollen defensive lineman who retired. And then now
that Miles Garrett is going to be there, he has
decided that he's going to come back. Well, I mean,
you know, he's teased that he's going to come back.
(15:29):
The thing about pro football players is they don't the
guys that are really really old. It's not that they
don't want to play pro football anymore. They love playing
pro football because they love the game. Check. But when
you're so old and you're already a Hall of Famer.
The one thing you really don't do. And I don't
know if it's like this for basketball. I can't imagine.
Maybe a little bit, but you just don't want to
(15:52):
go to camp, and in camp, not just because you
have to move out of your house and you're put
in an uncomfortable situation. And that used to be fun
when you're younger, right, But the older you get, the
less out of your routine.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Well, camp is so little now for NBA teams, it's
like four days. It used to be camp, like my
camp was a week long of two a days like that.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
The NFL is like four weeks and now they.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Might be a week, but there's no double days anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
It's all that has changed, and in college that has changed.
But the interesting thing about camp in the NFL, and
I remember this really with Tony Gonzales because he used
to be around a little bit and he was a
cow when I played there, is they just I mean,
this guy's one hundred years old, he's really good. He
still plays at a very high level. Travis Kelsey would
be in this same team, same position. He would be
(16:41):
in that realm where they don't want to go to
install like they don't want to see because in football,
I don't know how they do it in basketball, but
in football, you reinstall the offense every single year. You
put in zone run, you put in everything because people
are new and you ask people and you're expected as
(17:02):
a young person to catch up and learn the terminology
and stuff like that. But they still do a full install.
They install the offense, they install the defense. It takes weeks,
and then they do the specialty stuff. Here we are
in the red zone. This is what we're like on
third down. This is what we're like coming out of
(17:23):
the end zone. This is what we do on the
right hash. I mean, it never ends. And I think
these guys that have been through that every single year
of their career, they can't sit through that. They like
to wait till that's over. And you see it all
the time and he's like, oh, he's in shape, he's
ready to go. Okay. So we'll talk to Gary Klein
(17:45):
of the La Times about that in the next segment.
But I don't know do they install in mascot.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
I mean, obviously yeah, but I don't think the playbook's
as big as it is in football, there's not as
many guys on the floor, so that's probably part of it.
But yeah, it's a much different training camp in the
NBA now than it used to be. We used to
play I think five preseason games. It's now eight, eight
(18:10):
preseason games, so they start the preseason sooner, so that
means camp shorter.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
It's not even camp anymore, you just start practice.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah, but then the Lakers used to go to Akatella
Lodge and.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
The Desk Santa Barbara they used to go to. Why
the Clippers win is that I'm still in there. I
don't know if the Clippers still go to Hawaii or not,
but they used to.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
The Lakers was like a big Jerry Buss sex party
for years at least it looked like that on the
HBO show that they used Hartman's voice. But so that
is the situation with Aaron Donald and I guess we're
going to address it. We're also going to talk to
David Vass. Even though it's All Star week. David Maass
(18:50):
wants to come on for a first half recap and
we will do that in the next hour, I believe,
and we'll talk basketball with Don McClain and I've procured
some societal things that we can discuss, Donna, young people
and old people and being young now as opposed to
being old then, and what it was like technology. That's
(19:17):
how you started every paper in college. In today's ever
changing world where technology moves so fast, technology has moved
us to the very next segment, we will talk to
Gary Kleine about Aaron Donald Kate's is gone, Matt's gone, Ronnie's.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
Here, Ronnie here, I'm here, Yes, sorry about that?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
No, No, you're good. Hey, Zach.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Once you ask Ronnie what.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
The what the state capitol song for Colorado.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Will do that?
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Don't do it, Zach.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
With the state capitol song.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
There's two, actually, Zach. One is called where the Columbines Grow,
and the other one is Rocky Mountain High. That's exactly
what I read, and that's when Ronnie read. He was
not aware of the other one.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
No, I wasn't aware of you. Actually I was, but
I thought it inappropriate to say that on the air.
All things.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Continue didn't know. Ronnie didn't know why they had two songs,
and he didn't do any research on it, and he
was calm, and it got real ugly, and it's something
we actually asked something I like to generally forget that.
It's often brought up around here, brought up in the
leaks today. Okay, we'll be right back with Gary Klin
(20:30):
if he is coming on? Is Gary Klin coming on?
Oh we don't know that.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
Well, maybe we can get Lee clan at Gary's not available.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Well, I don't really want to talk to Lee clin
about Aaron Donald. Why not.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
When you chose to get him.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Back to Meshaalada mondays on the petros In Money Show.
It's not a real Michlada if it's not made with
Medello Madelo especial rude with the highest quality ingredients for
a taste that's pure gold.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Welcome back, everybody. It's petro sand Money on this. I'm
a horse Monday on AM five seventy LA Sports. Actually
I'm not really a whoy galloping into another great week
and great great sports talk, sports talk. Don McLain, our bff,
is here. The donkey sound I think is appropriate. I
(21:43):
guess because we booked a guest or promoted a guest
that we did not book, I believe that's my fault.
I don't think it's I've had some miscommunication with zach
Elk already.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Here's no way he comes in last minute.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
He always could and it's not that big of a deal. Like,
I honestly don't really care that Aaron Donald is working
out at the RAMS facility in Woodland Hills and doing
bench presses and stuff.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
And could you imagine those two coming off of each edge.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Gart, Well, you could move Aaron Donald everywhere, that is
the thing I'm saying. But Aaron, just both those guys
lined up, I'm going to rip your head off.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Yeah. No, it's hard because I mean most football like
offensive lines and football coaches aren't stupid, except for mine.
When we played we played Uh, we had Hugh Jackson,
who was our offensive coordinator went on to be in
a very unaccomplished NFL head coach. But Hugh jack at
(22:42):
a Dorsey High a longtime college football coach and pro
football coach. He was our offensive coordinator at USC and
we were playing Cal, and Cal had a guy believe
his name was Andre Carter. He was a top pick
in the draft for a rush. He was a DM.
He came off that left side and here's your left tackle,
(23:04):
and what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?
And what you really want to do in a perfect
world with your quarterback, Carson Palmer is dropped that big,
beautiful quarterback back seven steps, survey the field work progression
and distribute the ball. And what you want is for
(23:24):
that left tackle to block that DN Andre Carter one
on one and handle him. Now, when it becomes clear
that you cannot do so, how many times do you
want to allow your tackle to be embarrassed out on
the island and your quarterback to be destroyed? And the
answer for huge accident in that game was something like ten,
(23:47):
Like I'll never forge like watching Andre Carter get drafted.
The entire highlight tape was against USC and I remember
going in the locker room at halftime and Hugh Jack
was like, well, you just got to block him, And
it's like, well, no, they have things in football and
they're very prevalent. It's called turn protection. So you basically
turn the whole offensive line to that guy. So you
(24:11):
call the play to the right, but the whole offense
like a two jet would be the name of the protection.
Two is an even number, which means it goes to
the right, but the line to them that means we're
all going to the left to freaking block this guy.
We're all going over there to build a wall, and
you know he can't get all the way around because
(24:33):
we're all you know, so you turn the whole protection
to that guy, and then the back me the idiot
back there cleans up. If the mic backer comes on
a blitz or a strong side, somebody's got to pick
them up because that leaves them. And there's techniques, I
guess is the answer to how you deal with it?
You just don't deal with it. What if there's two
(24:54):
of them, that's a problem. You know, now you're you're
turning your whole protect to a great defensive end and
here's this guy who's at the three technique or you know,
playing over the guard or whatever, blowing that up, and
you know, it just causes chaos in your backfield and
it's so hard to block. You're asking somebody every once
(25:16):
in a while to block that guy one on one.
And when you have more than one like that out there,
I mean, I remember, I mean Cornelius Bennett was different,
but I remember when the Buffalo Bills had Cornelius Bennett
and Bruce Smith and it was just like, oh my god.
You know, to rush the passer, you know, that kind
of stuffed Neil Smith and Derek Thomas when they both
(25:39):
played for the Kansas City Chiefs. I mean it's pretty dynamic.
I mean, then you think about the Rams back in
the day, Deacon Jones before they even counted sacks, he'd
be the straight hand. None of those guys would it
be anywhere near him, Deacon Jones and Merlin Olson and
Fred Dryer Hunter throwing people off of buildings. But anyway,
(26:01):
we're not going to talk to Gary Klein Zach do
you want to? It was? Was it my fault? Am
I just not listening very well today? I mean I
already misunderstood what you were trying to tell me about
Tito Ortiz and Dawn McLean is a little skeptical about
your stand up that you ever did stand up, But
he did, he did, and he fights, by the way,
But yeah, Tito ortis not coming on Victor Ortis. I
(26:24):
am aware of the.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
Difference, gotcha, And uh yeah, it was uh, I mean
it was nobody's fault.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Nobody's fault. So you want to blame just but you
interpret this nobody's fault but mine? Okay, why did we
think Gary Klein was coming on.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
Yeah, well Tim, as you know, he shouldn't even he.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Should not be Tim should not be booking guests. Tim
should be on his vacation.
Speaker 8 (26:48):
And so he was when that pitched it. And he's trying,
but I try to get a hold of him.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
So it was okay.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
And how does Victor Ortiz? That's tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
That's tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
That's the first thing you bothered me about today was
tomorrow when we have four hours of great sports.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Talk, great sports talk.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Can I tell you something, Zach.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
The correct answer to Petros's question was, you know what, Pee,
that's my fault. I should have communicated it. But I'm
not saying you're like that. But he's the producer.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
You're right, it's all his fault.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Fault.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
That's the correct answer. I'm just telling you, whether it's
right or wrong, that's the correct answer.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
You're right, that's also the correct answer. I am headed
out to Vegas this week this week for football stuff, but.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
Where you're staying at pe Uh, I'm.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Not going there. They moved it.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
They moved they did.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, they moved the Mountain West Championship or whatever it
used to be. The Mountain west of Media Day, which
Fox sends me to be the guy to cover is
used to be at the Circa but which is pretty
cool because there's no kids, but they moved it to
the Palm.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Palm's off the strip.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Correct either way, I'm there for twelve hours, it doesn't matter.
I'm interview coaches and then I leave. But I'm headed
to Las Vegas. And whenever I go to Vegas for well, yeah,
beautiful time of year.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
An't you going to the Rio Petros for dinner, I'm not,
but still have health violations there.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
There's a apparently it's supposed to be better, but there
were like a pack of feral cats or something moving around.
But whenever I go to Las Vegas, I am often
told this time of years, like are you going out
to the Summer League? And I was like, no, I'm not.
I did go out. I've been to one Summer League
event when it was at the Pyramid, back in the
days of Mary Hanks coaching a team in the Summer League.
(28:40):
And I went to go visit the Summer League at
the Pyramid and saw like Pig Miller and like people
like that. It's much different now in Las Vegas have
you been keeping up with it because the young guys
were out there? Yeah, the BANDSTA and all them guys.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
It's funny you say that because when we do our
pre draft, obviously all the agents are in and out
throughout the process. But I've grown this stable. I guess
you would say of kids, younger guys, either managers at
schools for basketball teams or video guys that helped me
during the pre draft, and they all go to Vegas
and every one of them, daughter, are you going? The
(29:13):
answer is no, why not? I don't need to go.
I can watch the guys. I'm interested in guys I've
had the last couple of years that are playing summer
league to see how they do. We had a couple
of guys that were rookies last year that came back
this spring to get ready for summer league. So I've
been interested in how they're playing. But yeah, there's no
(29:35):
reason for me to go. When was the last time
you went?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
A few years?
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Oh, it's been a while, ten years since A Wow, Yeah,
there's no reason for me to go. You know me,
pe I'm I'm at the stage of my life where
I really enjoyed doing pre draft, but I'm not trying
to get a job out of this. I'm not trying
to like get a job with an NBA team, And
that's all it is is networking out there.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
You don't want to hang out with world Wide West.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
No, I mean I know all those guys and they
know that I'm not interested. I'm not trying to get
another job out of this, which most guys that do
what I do are, and so there's no reason for
me to be there. But what's interesting to answer your question.
The thing about Summer League to me, and this isn't
(30:19):
absolute or across the board, but if you go to
Summer League and you're really, really good as a rookie,
that means there's a very good chance you're going to
be a very good NBA player. If you're not good
as a rookie, it doesn't mean you're not going to
be a good player, But if you are, that pretty
much dictates now went in there and went crazy the
(30:41):
most important time as a young NBA player, especially if
you didn't play as a rookie. If you played a
lot as a rookie, you're not playing Summer League going
into your second year anyway.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
But if you didn't play a lot.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
If you don't do well in summer league after your
rookie year, it kind of a problem. And if you're
in Summer League after your second season, going into your
third year and you're still playing in summer league, that's
a problem.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
So for the people that draft these guys and invest
all of this and have made this decision, and everybody's
thinking about it, you don't think about Woggler and anybody
else this how they play in the summer league. These executives,
they have their butttholes pretty pretty tight.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
The second year, the first year look like Woggler, you
can tell by his body type he's going to be
a very good player. But because he's not physically strong yet,
and guys are beating them up.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
And that's the other thing.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
When you're the fifth pick in the draft, all these
dudes at play overseas that have been professionals for eight
nine years, they're like, Okay, you're the fifth pick in
the draft. Let's see what you got. So they're going
after him. And that's why I said, it doesn't mean
if you don't play well as a rookie, you're not
going to be a good player. But like the Bonza Peterson, Boozer,
Caleb Wilson. They've already shown that they are going to
(31:58):
be very very good NBA players.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
What about the kid that's always hurt Peterson's.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
He's really really talented. I mean, he can really score.
I'm telling you though, after watching this, and it's a
small sample size, but this Caleb Wilson, I think is
going to be something else like Perennial All Star. Not
that those other three aren't, but this kid, just my
(32:27):
experienced eye test looking at him, I think he's going
to be a superstar at some point.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Interesting. But not the kid that's going to the Clippers.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
I think he will see And that's what I'm saying, Like,
I think Woggler is going to be a very good
NBA player. I think his ceiling is high, but he's
got work to do and it's not going to be
immediate like the Bonds is going to be. Peterson's gonna be,
Wilson's gonna be Boozer. But that doesn't mean in a
year or two he's not going to be a very
(32:59):
good But again, after your rookie year, going into your
second year, you better be like the best play like
a great example. Kid we had last year out of
Yukon Lee McNeely. Charlotte draft him late in the first
which we thought he was going to go higher. Didn't
spend some time up this year, but was mostly G League.
He is crushing the summer league this year, which is
(33:21):
a great sign for him.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
How much does the NBA, these franchises, the agencies that
you work for, how much do they How much leeway
do they allow for the fact because we say people's names,
and we watched highlights and you watch games and yeah,
I know the defense a guy, I've seen him, you know,
I get it. I know his story a little bit.
But like he's nineteen years old, Like that's a nineteen
(33:47):
year old guy. How much of that comes into play
when these guys are talking to these guys, the decisions
they make. How mature are these dudes expected to be
at nineteen years old?
Speaker 4 (33:59):
They are because they've been stars for a long time.
And the best example I have because he was in
our gym for two summers before the draft and then
he was there for the pre draft and he's younger
than Trent Cooper flag Like that kid had played so
much basketball, and Trent.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Is don Son, who plays at Saint Mary's and Trent's
going into his sophomore.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
Year redshirt freshman year.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
But yes, Cooper Flag is younger than Trent by like
four months. But Cooper had been in the spotlight for
so long that even him being eighteen or nineteen, it's
like he's twenty four or twenty five because of all
the experience he's had dealing with media, dealing with everything
that comes along with basically being the number one player
(34:43):
in his class since he was fourteen or fifteen.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Pretty tough. Yeah, to be nineteen and have that.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Much well, and he had a great rookie year, so
it doesn't it doesn't FaZe him any of this stuff.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Interesting conversation as always, and I'd much rather have done
that than talk no offense to Gary Klein, who I love.
But I guess it's all water under the bridge now.
If Klein ends up coming on, I'm not sure. I
don't know what I'll do.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
Zach, what happened is? What happened with Gary Klein today?
Oh he's not in there. Ask him again, Hey, Zach,
what happened with Gary Klein today? More great sports doc?
Speaker 1 (35:30):
How was your weekend? Featuring Ronnie Fossil of course gonna
be slim Piggins today. I mean you know, I mean Zach's.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Weekend I had, I had a more full weekend than
normal even I.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Did, which is you know, I'm gonna have to be
the case because usually, you know, Matt carries it with
his exceptional awesome life, superior children.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
And my life's not awesome. But this weekend was more.
There was more on the calendar than normal.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
No, we have a lack of superiority and awesomeness on
my end, but we will figure it all out on
this I'm a Horse Monday on Pettersen Money, on l
A Sports, You're a home of the Dodgers, off on
All Stars.
Speaker 5 (36:28):
Back to Chelada.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Monday's on the Petros and Money.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Sha, it's not a real chela if it's not made
with Medellodelo especial mode with the highest quality ingredients for
a taste that's pure gold.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Why everybody, it's an I'm a horse Monday. Well, that'll
meet you a lot of Monday on the Petros and
Money Show. We never had Gary Klein on, which is fine.
Don McLain is here, We will talk to Dave later.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
I'm reasonably certain that that one look forward to that,
although he did try to leave us hanging at brewery
as he did.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Yeah, that's hard too. It's like, you know, I get
through the first segment, you're bench pressing this crowd. You're
trying to keep the energy up, keep everybody going. You
have everything set up for after. It's like all you
need is Dave to call on time. But he's doing
TV that day and he leaves you hanging for five minutes.
So Matt and I are sitting there, you know, with
our hand in our pants reading our driver's license. Well,
(37:46):
you know you don't want to go in on the
next thing because the second you do, it's like and
you're like, damn it. You know it's a rough ticket.
But anyway, we're happy to be here today. We have
another full show tomorrow, and throughout the week there'll be
a lot of full shows, and then we're taking Friday off.
Matt's out all week.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
I'll be out on Wednesday and Thursday.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
So you might say the original when you tune in,
and maybe that's not but sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe,
But right now it is Monday, I'm gonna do what
I do. The weekend is mine.
Speaker 5 (38:19):
So how was your weekend?
Speaker 1 (38:24):
We will start with I guess we usually start with
Matt because Matt has the most interesting weekend in life
and loves to talk about it. What about you, Don,
I'll start tell us how is your weekend? Don?
Speaker 4 (38:39):
My weekend was really good. Friday, a little happy hour
with the wife and some friends, which.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Hold on, say it again and I'll make you feel
good about it.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
Happy hour with some friends, which is that's typical. On Saturday,
got up early with Trent, worked him out on the court.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Little father son action. Good.
Speaker 5 (38:57):
That's good.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
And then we had a open house and our friends
the Churchill Shannon and Neil. Their daughter Makira just graduated
high school and is leaving this week for Belmont to
play soccer in Nashville.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
So they had an open house.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
I didn't know they had a college down there on
second Street of Bobbach.
Speaker 5 (39:18):
Yeah, And so.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Stayed there for a couple hours, had a good time.
And then at night our friends the Andrews, Jeff and Beth,
which is really interesting. Janney, you're not there yet. Yeah,
you're not there yet. But we're friends with a lot
of our friend couples in town because of our kids
and kids sports and kids' activities.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
In kids school.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
That's how going back. Yeah, shit at a baseball game
for three hours.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
Going back to like when they were five and six. Well,
they started this party last year because all of our kids,
most of our kids have all turned twenty one. So
now the party and it's once a summer is for
parents and kids. Sounds pretty exciting, but not like a kid.
You know, like used to go to kid parties and
(40:04):
they'd be like cake. Right now, both are the same.
Everybody drinking games, all the stuff, beer pong, all that stuff, Like, Mom,
you want to vide katonic? No, sweetie, I'm having an
apparrel sprints. So it was actually a really good time
and uh we uh we stayed probably longer than we
should have.
Speaker 5 (40:26):
Brook that's usually the case.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
I think it's time.
Speaker 5 (40:28):
That's usually the case.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
But what was interesting to finish out that night is
our good friends the Homes. They have three boys like
we do, a little bit younger, their youngest when we
used to go, like we'd been on vacation trips with
them and their youngest Easton. When we first started hanging
out with them, was like two guests who drove us
home on Saturday night.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
You home tonight Eastern Holmes, the son of Larry Holmes,
and you're hanging out with Winston Churchill.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
Like that was an eye opening moment for me and Brooke, Like,
wait a second, you were just two years old and
now you are driving us home from this party.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
It's like our friend Al Stewart says, time passages. Yeah,
but a nice weekend, don.

hope that everybody takes up so much time that I
don't have to go. But you remember in Indiana Jones
the Last Crusade where you have to you know that
you have to leap you know, it's like a leap
of faith, you know, you just step onto the that's
us sending it over to the zachs weekend.

It's that it's like this could go any direct chap
into the void.
