Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome three hours a great sports dot to the Petrosin
Money Show on air at AM five seven e LA
Sports with the ability to really go anywhere and do anything,
streaming everywhere with the iHeartRadio app hosted by Mad Money Smith.
Check out the fit and petros Papadakas. That's what we
like to hear. Here they are on your home of
(00:23):
the LA Dodgers in sync and down the Petro Sin
Money Trosin Money, Rosin Money ros Moneys.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Oh check this out, stop the show. I'm sorry, look
at this. The sect text us up fine, brought to
you by your so called Toyota dealers. We make it easy, Hi, p.
This is my thirty six foot RV. The RV story
in California is they're banning the sale of new diesel
motor homes unless the chassis company also offers electric ones freightliner.
(00:59):
The major so plier does not have any electric chassis,
so you won't be able to buy a diesel RV
in California. However, you can buy one and register it
in a different state. Jack willis in Texas and it
says I have a starlink and you can go down
the interstate and have an excellent connection. And he sent
(01:23):
me a picture of his RV which looks pretty spacious,
but again, like I don't want to be with Tim,
actually looks pretty nice. Yeah, I don't want to do
a show from an RV.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I will say this, P. I've been thinking about it
as we've been talking here today. I think you would
spend a lot of the time out of the RV. Though,
I think you would only sleep in the RV. Like
I envision a little campsite like Tim's. We're gonna drive, Well,
you're gonna drive there, it's like what six hours. Yeah,
Tim's gonna have marshmallows, have s'mores out there at night.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I'm almost fifty years old. I don't want to do it.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Don Can you play the guitar?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
No?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Okay, we'll have to find somebody could play the guitar
for us, and so.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
We can hire somebody.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, you don't pull out the guitar like new Heizelin.
No do everything turned turned. You don't do that. No.
New heisl came on the show last week for Rivalry
Week and he played the guitar.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
No.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Ronnie Lott came on the show and we talked to
Ethan Garber's who lost to Shun Foster.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
He didn't come on the show. No much, No I'll come.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I think he was worried what we were gonna ask him.
I didn't. I didn't ask you cla well, I mean
he he bagged us over football camp. He was supposed
to show up at Tarantula Hill, remember that, and he
bagged us. So that was that. Anyway, Congratulations to everybody involved.
Word the word of the day. Today's word of the
(02:54):
day is podcast. Nobody is anybody unless they have a podcast.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Well, good news, Pete, because I'm starting one.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Oh yeah, what's it going to be called? The f
You in your Face Podcast by Donnald The name is
still TVD. There's a couple I can do it. I
can actually Sweet James, I named Sweet James. I can
do it.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
With the with the PAC twelve conference adding teams in
Oregon State, Washington State. I was asked with Ted Robinson,
oh to do a basketball podcast this season.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
On what network TVD.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
There's there's a PAC twelve. I forget what it's called.
It's called like fast twitch or something like that. It's
part of the PAC twelve.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Well, you'll be competing with Kylie Kelsey, who's officially joining
her husband Jason Kelsey and brother in law Travis Kelsey
in the podcasting world as she is now a sports personality.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
This is what it is right now, but it's still.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I like that one. I like that one. I would,
you know what, I would maybe name it what We're
still here, I'm right off and here. Yeah. Anyway, don't
you care about Kylie Kelsey? I mean, you're sitting here
wrapped up in your Pack twelve podcast.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Why why is she? I thought that was already successful. Well,
she's she's gonna have her own or her own. She's
gonna have her own. She announced on The Today Show
that she will be starting a new podcast titled Not
Gonna Lie I'm Not Gonna Lie, beginning in December. Who
would have ever thought that the Kelsey's would become this big,
(04:37):
this fast?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Nobody, nobody, nobody, whoever thought the Kelsey's would be this
big nobody. All one of them had to do was
start a relationship with Taylor Swift and then the quirky
center from the Eagle Super Bowl team with Big D.
Nick is suddenly a huge personality. Now his wife is
as well. The podcast will be awesome yeah for them.
(04:59):
You can watch it on YouTube. Kelsey is planning to
cover topics such as modern parenting, social media trends, women
in sports that we got Sarah Spain for that Spain,
while also bringing on guests to discuss sports and pop
culture events. Her husband, the former Philadelphia Eagle Center, is
(05:20):
expected to make an appearance on the podcast at some point,
and then of course Taylor Swift I'm sure will make
an appearance as well. You know, the original NFL Wife
podcast is our own Kelly Stafford here in Los Angeles.
Oh it is, and she I guess and she ruffles
a lot of feathers. The original NFL Wife, like cutaway
(05:41):
to the stands modern football television, was Brenda Warner, right,
Kurt Warner's one with the haircut, with the crazy aggressive
hair and they'd go over there and she had like
the aggressive haircut, and they'd be like, there she is,
and she looked like the guy, the bad guy in
the fifth element, and then they'd cut back to Kurt Hurt,
you know, and he'd be throwing the ball all over.
(06:04):
So that was a thing, you know, whether whether he
was a giant when he was a a a ram
when he was a cardinal. That was a thing, right, So.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
You're saying she was the original.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
She was the original, but she didn't have a podcast,
so then it was Kelly Stafford. She would have though
Kelly Stafford always ruffling feathers, you know, talked about dating
the backup quarterback, you know, and uh, that was upsetting.
This week she said she feels bad for Joe Burrow.
Why because you know he loses at Cincinnati and he's
so good. She's like, it reminds me of you know,
(06:37):
our time in Detroit with Matt Matthew whatever. Yeah, and
it's like, you know what, in Detroit, they paid you
the biggest contract, They traded you when you wanted and
let you come to LA and traded you and did
everything for you, kissed your ass the whole time, and
they blew you in a playoff game and you're super
(06:58):
butt hurt and you're so mad that the people of
Detroit love Jared Goff a billion times more than they
ever loved Stafford.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
And they're the best team in football.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
And they're the best team in football, and now your
butt hurt talking ass about how bad they were when
you were there, and it makes you your heart breaks
for Joe Burrow, save it, Save it. I don't think
Kylie Kelsey will be this different. No, probably, who's to say.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
By the way, Kelly Stafford last week also making headlines
when she admitted she was jealous of the attention that
Taylor Swift is getting.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, she thought it would be better for the players
to get that attention. Well, and then, of course you
know what she was really saying or me?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
She said quote Now, I have never once said I
didn't like Taylor Swift ever, but I will say I've
kind of gotten tired of the chiefs coverage of it, actually,
the NFL's coverage of this budding relationship last year. And
she can do anything about that, No, she can't.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
What moving on?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
All right? Fine, don if you want to just give
me the tavernly discard your number of the day. Here's
my number.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
There's only been one. Let's move on. So far on
the Big ten network.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Oh that's good. When is the Brook McClain Big Ten
Wives podcast coming out?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Never?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Today we got Brett Beelam on Brett, you look pretty
big out there. You look like about three hundred and
fifty pounds.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Imagine my wife interviewing Tom Izzo.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Oh, be awesome out here in Westlake.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Tom, Yeah, I just got done shopping. Your number of
the day, Pete, is twenty six. Congratulations to the UCLA
women's basketball team on their huge seventy seven to sixty
two win over number one South Carolina yesterday. It was
the first time ever.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
We popped this game up on Fox. This was a
Fox game.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
The first time ever the women's basketball team beat the
number one team in the coy at UCLA. They were
oh to twenty before.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
They beat up Don Staley's ladies.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
And their reward p UCLA women's basketball team was named
the new number one team in the country and the
AP pole. How about that. Tim threw in this nugget,
which is pretty interesting if you think about it, the
dominance of Yukon and Tennessee and recently South Carolina. UCLA
(09:26):
is just the twenty sixth different team to hold the
number one spot in the AP poll in the history
of the women's Top twenty five That began forty eight
years ago. So in forty eight years, there's only been
twenty six teams to reach number one.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Interesting. That is interesting, Like that's a tough hill to climb. Yeah,
maybe you should have died on that hill. I know
you don't do postgame brew and talk for the women Kates,
but maybe that's the declaration you should have made when
the season started. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Is it too late?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah? Number one already. It's like, what was the last
Lady Bruins game you went to? Don? I shouldn't ask you,
you shouldn't know. Okay, uh, let's do This is the
song of the day.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Real quick, real quick, Ronnie, I only go to games.
I get paid for him.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, I met, But what if Corey Close called me, like,
don we love?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Then I'd go.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah, we'll be right back. We'll have some basketball talk
with the one and only Don mcclan. We'll do the
Dead and a live guy, Birthday of the Day, Final,
our fun fact, quick hits. We're on till three thirty,
another hour plus cracking. Everybody, Welcome back. It's the one
(10:44):
and only Petro Saying Money Show on AMPI seventy LA Sports,
your home of the Dodgers. Don McClain is in today.
He is live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. The reason
we're on early and we'll only be on to like
three thirty is because the Clippers are playing the Celtics
pregame of three thirty tip off at four thirty on
(11:06):
a FI seventy LA Sports. But tonight there is action.
LA Chargers host Lamar Jackson and the Ravens for the
Harbowl tonight. Matt Mundy Smith, Shannon Farron from Keffe Yoga,
and Daniel Jeremiah from the NFL Network on the call
five point fifteen kickoff. It's so far they're not going
(11:28):
to slide that one. Listen from it alt ninety eight seven?
What what? What do you shake?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It's new for me on the slide, the sliding of
the tip time is new for me.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
This year. We really are old, gnarled, barnacled creature, creatures
of habit. We spent most of the time complaining about
travel trips.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
We talked, We talked about se UCLA. We talked about
how the tarps were out and there were still empty
seats at the Rose Bowl and a cold, terrible knight
for football in Pasadena. But we press forward. Ronnie's hungover,
and we pressed forward this time for the top story
of the top story of it. Don you're a basketball
(12:14):
man and basketball is happening, Yes it is, and the
Lakers are basically the same as they were last year
under JJ Reddick as they were with Darvin Ham last year, right, I.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Mean record wise, I haven't looked at what they were
after sixteen games last year, but you're right. But I
also think it looks a little bit different. I think
JJ Reddick has instilled a little bit of enthusiasm there.
I mean, the roster is their roster, but to me,
it looks different, and you just wonder as the season
(12:47):
goes on, will that mean that they continue to evolve
and continue to improve so that at the end of
the year they're better than they were last year. I
think they will.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Honestly, overall, do you see a lot of difference with
how they are? I mean, like you said, it's the
same team the NBA has made up of players, and
the Nuggets really took it to them the other night
and kind of reminded everybody why the Nuggets are the
Nuggets and why they've beaten the Lakers two years in
a row in the playoffs. So what was your thoughts
(13:18):
about it.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I haven't watched, just because I obviously watch the Clipper
games instead because I need to, But I just get
this feeling that they're that they're gonna they're gonna be
better as the year goes on. And look, it takes
time when you have a new coach with new system,
new terminology, knew everything to really get rolling. But I
(13:41):
just it just feels different with Reddick being the head
coach to me like that that there's maybe the words hope.
There's more hope that they're gonna do what I just
said and continue to get better as the season goes on.
But we'll see, because the roster is the same.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Overall on when you look at the Lakers and you
see how they play, I'm still shocked at how good
Nikola Djokich is. I shouldn't be. I believe we had
this conversation three years ago and I said, wow, have
you seen this guy? And you said, yes, you idiot,
I have seen the guy. But the rest of you
(14:19):
are idiots and you don't see the guy. Why why?
I mean, he's he's clearly the best player in the NBA, right,
I mean, is there any question about that? I guess
there is no.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
There's not. I think if you look at the production,
why is it such an afterthought? Not sure? But if
you look at the production and the consistent production every
night from him, triple double seemingly every night. He is
the best player in the league. There's no there's no
(14:50):
up and down with him. It's you get You pretty
much get the same thing from him every night. Now,
his supporting cast has gotten worse the last couple of years.
They've let free agents go, which were very important parts
of the year when they won the championship. But you
just have to marvel at this guy in his ability
(15:12):
to affect the game, scoring, rebounding assists every night. And
one thing that never gets talked about is his level
of condition. Like you don't just roll out of bed
and get a triple double just because you're big and
you can pass and you can shoot, like no fatigue.
You have to be in great condition to do what
(15:32):
he does every night. And so we'll see with them,
because I don't think their roster they've had some injuries too,
Their roster just doesn't seem as good as it was.
So I'm not sure that just because of how great
he is, that you can say, oh, they're going to
win it when their supporting cast was better two years ago.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Now you touched the golden age of the NBA. I
guess when you were in the NBA. I mean, Michael
Jordan was out there running around. You know, it was
magic out there lumbering around. It comes.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yeah, he was at the very end bird and just retired.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
So but you you were around Patrick Ewing, was there,
the Hakeem, the Dream, Charles Barkley, guys like that. The
one thing I noticed about And I know it's a
different game now and you guys have a perspective on
that that none of us could ever have. But was
there a guy that you remember that just moved people
out of the way, kind of like djok does, like
just move people the way he does. Is there is
(16:27):
there a guy you remember, like, Wow, this guy's so
big and he can do everything I know.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
But there's It's funny you say that because I think
about this every once in a while, because whenever I
do a game or whenever I watch a game, I
say to myself, why is this guy good? And you
look at the measurables like one one guy that comes
to mind, believe it or not, is Larry Johnson. Remember
him from here, Grandmama, Grandmama, and I always wondered watching
him and we're the same area he was at UNLV
(16:53):
when I was at UCL. I'm like, how is this
six ' four inside player so good? And you could
say the same him about Barkley. You couldn't move them.
Larry Johnson was split low, meaning torso longer than the legs,
his base and his center of gravity. You could not
move them. I couldn't and I wasn't that strong. But
(17:17):
other guys couldn't move them. And so the question is,
is that why Jokic is so good. He's a combination
of all that. You can't move him. He's probably the
best passer in the league. He can stretch it out
to the three point line. But you always start with that,
and I talk about that a lot. When guys have
a good base and they're strong and you can't move
them or they can move you, that's a big advantage
(17:39):
when you're talking about It's a factor in college, but
more of a factor in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
When it comes to the Clippers, and we got Clippers tonight,
they're playing at Boston. I think Porzingis is going to
play for the first time this year after his foot surgery.
They haven't had a disappointing start by Clippers. Yeah, no,
they know, not at all. They've been pretty good. So
when they become more of a little bit of a
buzz in the NBA, what do they have to continue
to do to keep that going? Well?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
The obvious is continue to win. I mean there are
only two games out of first place right now, believe
it or not, at eleven and seven. But I don't
think any of us expected eleven and seven when you
hear Kawhi is not going to start the year healthy,
Norman Palace missed the last few games, and they continue
to win. And I saw it opening night, p And
I think we've talked about this on the show. Jeff
(18:26):
Van Gundy and his influence on this defense is the
biggest reason why they're overachieving right now, is why they're
winning games, why they're able to beat teams that maybe
you look at both teams on paper, the other team's
got more superstar players, but the Clippers beat them because
of their defensive intensity, their defensive attention to the game
plan and buying in and you have to it's Tylo's
(18:49):
team and he's the head coach. But the difference this
year is Jeff van Gundy. It's his first year here
and you watch them play, forget looking at numbers, or anything.
Just watch the Clippers play. They are way more engaged
on the defensive end this year. They are.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Is there any news about Kawhi.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
I haven't had anything. Wow, I haven't heard anything. Granted
I haven't been around the last three or four games,
but I haven't heard anything about that.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
There actually is some news about Kawai.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I guess wow.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
He will not play enough games, will not play enough
games to qualify for any NBA awards this year.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
That's that's not cool, which and we've talked about this
on the show, which only matters now because when talking
about max extensions and max contracts, you have to be
on the All NBA team, one of the All NBA
teams are one of the award winners. And he just
got a three year contract, so it really doesn't matter
in that regard for him, but for players in the
(19:44):
NBA now making All NBA as a major factor in
talking about contracts.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I really hope that Kawhi comes back.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
If he comes back, I mean, like I just said,
there are only two games out, there's not a lot
of separation in that west. He comes back, they get rolling.
Who knows?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
You think he'll come back at some point? I don't know.
I don't know either.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
It just seems like he'll be back at some point.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Has there ever been an odder player to cover in
your in your tenure, you know, Pro pro basketball Cutty
Mobiley Maybe.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
No, just but when he plays, he's that good he is.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
There is some breaking news. Did you see what happened
in the Arizona State b YU game at the.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
End of fans storm in the field right?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Did you see that? I didn't. Kenny Dillingham freaked down,
was screaming at the rats and all that. You know.
I did a game where that happened, and it was
funny it happened. And I saw the quarterback from the
Central Michigan team was starting for the Cowboys, Cooper Rush.
Really well, I know that guy called that guy's dame
so way back in twenty sixteen, Central Michigan, I mean,
(21:10):
Central Michigan is out there playing in Stillwater Oklahoma State,
and Oklahoma State's good like they always are, and Mike
Gundy in the whole deal, and they were trying to
run the clock and they threw the ball. They just
dropped back not outside the tackle box, threw the ball
into the sky to run the last six seconds off
(21:33):
or whatever. Okay, they throw a flag, the refs say
that's grounding. You can't do that. And so what Arizona
State did was grounding and they never called it. So
BYU should have had a shot fifteen yards closer, probably
from the thirty five, and they completed their Hail Mary
and not the two to Chase Roberts. So that was so.
(21:54):
What happened in the game that I called was they
gave Central Michigan an untimed out I'm out to the
fifty and I'm like, well, this guy didn't have the
arm strength. You know, they're gonna have to throw it
and pitch it back to somebody. They threw it and
pitched it back to a guy and scored a touchdown
and won the game. Really, Oklahoma State also claimed victory
and on their ring that year for the Big Twelve
(22:15):
Championship or whatever they played in the record, they counted
that game as a win. It wasn't a win. And
thank god we had Mike Pereira because he explained to us, look,
that's grounding. This is why that happened. Because it was chaos.
The Big Twelve people didn't know the rule. They had
to figure it out. So this is also a Big
twelve game at Arizona State and that same thing happened.
(22:38):
So they should have called a flag there. Wow, And
they should have called a flag on Kenny. He's screaming
and yelling and bowing up on the rafts and instead
nothing happened. Has there been a statement from Kenny made
a statement? Kenny made a statement saying the end of
the game was not good at all. I got to
do a way better job. I probably would have tried
to score and take them the risk of fumbling. Now
(22:59):
if that was a one point game, we would have
had to do what we did. Dillingham said he didn't
invest enough time on a scenario and practice and that's
something he learned from. So Kenny Dillingham is a great coach.
Not a great look at the end of that game.
But Kalate Sataki, the BYU coach, very classy, said, I
don't want to get upset the fans. They work hard,
(23:20):
they're excited, everybody's excited to be here. You know. He
handled it with a class class and gently. Two new
teams in the Big twelve second year for BYU. Anyway,
that was a follow up that just happened Kawhi may
may come back at some point, hopefully, and according to Dawn,
he does feel as if the Lakers will improve under
(23:42):
JJ Reddick as the season goes on. We'll be right
back with your dead and a Live guy. Birthday of
the Day. Welcome back, everybody. It's an I'm a Horse
Monday on the Petro Said Money Show on AM five
seventy LA Sports your Home. I'm the Dodgers, I'm a hooy,
(24:07):
I'm a horse. I say I'm a horse. Myselle. Don
McLain is here. We've been talking a little hoops, talked
about SEUCLA, talked about Kenny Dillingham, solved some of the
world's problems, discussed our travel issues or my travel issues.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I haven't had it yet.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Yeah, right now it's time for the dead Guy. Birthday
of the Day, Paul Desmond, Don never heard of you?
Come on, Don, Have you ever heard this song? Yes? Okay,
been about one hundred years old today. Born Emil Brightenfeld.
(24:49):
That his real name, yeah, American Jazz Alto Sacks Star
Born in San Francisco, probably of Jewish descent, but they
were U raised Irish Catholic. His dad was a pianist,
he went to San Francisco Polytechnic High School. Home of
the Parents. That's right, Love Beach, Polly Jack Rabbits La
(25:15):
Paul gil Goodrich. That was before they built the four
h five. He told us. He went to San Francisco State,
became a jazz star. He was in the Army for
World War Two, stationed in San Francisco, but never called
into comback. Pretty lucky his collaboration with Dave brew Beck
(25:37):
and the Dave bru Bec Quartet. Dave Brubeck one of
the most famous pianists of the twentieth century. Real button up,
stand up guy Dave Brubeck is really what made him famous.
They rolled from the fifties all the way, all the
way to the end of his life, really but mid
to late sixties, nineteen fifty nine. This is a live
version in Germany. I think neen fifty nine Timeout on
(26:02):
the album or excuse me, the album Timeout and the
song Take five, which is this song written and composed
by Paul Desmond that became one of the most famous
jazz songs of all time. You don't recognize that, I do.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
I recognize this song.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Does it give you a cool feel? Yeah? I think
yourself walking around Morgantown with a cigarette and a trench coat,
bottle of Jack Daniels. Oh yeah, when you know him
as long as I have, he called him John. He
was a chain smoking womanizer. Desmond was very close with

quick here now we are coming up net
Welcome three hours a great sports dot to the Petrosin
Money Show on air at AM five seven e LA
Sports with the ability to really go anywhere and do anything,
streaming everywhere with the iHeartRadio app hosted by Mad Money Smith.

Money Trosin Money, Rosin Money ros Moneys.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Oh check this out, stop the show. I'm sorry, look
at this. The sect text us up fine, brought to
you by your so called Toyota dealers. We make it easy, Hi, p.
This is my thirty six foot RV. The RV story
in California is they're banning the sale of new diesel
motor homes unless the chassis company also offers electric ones freightliner.
(00:59):
The major so plier does not have any electric chassis,
so you won't be able to buy a diesel RV
in California. However, you can buy one and register it
in a different state. Jack willis in Texas and it
says I have a starlink and you can go down
the interstate and have an excellent connection. And he sent
(01:23):
me a picture of his RV which looks pretty spacious,
but again, like I don't want to be with Tim,
actually looks pretty nice. Yeah, I don't want to do
a show from an RV.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I will say this, P. I've been thinking about it
as we've been talking here today. I think you would
spend a lot of the time out of the RV. Though,
I think you would only sleep in the RV. Like
I envision a little campsite like Tim's. We're gonna drive, Well,
you're gonna drive there, it's like what six hours. Yeah,
Tim's gonna have marshmallows, have s'mores out there at night.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I'm almost fifty years old. I don't want to do it.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Don Can you play the guitar?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
No?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Okay, we'll have to find somebody could play the guitar
for us, and so.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
We can hire somebody.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, you don't pull out the guitar like new Heizelin.
No do everything turned turned. You don't do that. No.
New heisl came on the show last week for Rivalry
Week and he played the guitar.

Ronnie Lott came on the show and we talked to
Ethan Garber's who lost to Shun Foster.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
He didn't come on the show. No much, No I'll come.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I think he was worried what we were gonna ask him.
I didn't. I didn't ask you cla well, I mean
he he bagged us over football camp. He was supposed
to show up at Tarantula Hill, remember that, and he
bagged us. So that was that. Anyway, Congratulations to everybody involved.
Word the word of the day. Today's word of the
(02:54):
day is podcast. Nobody is anybody unless they have a podcast.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Well, good news, Pete, because I'm starting one.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Oh yeah, what's it going to be called? The f
You in your Face Podcast by Donnald The name is
still TVD. There's a couple I can do it. I
can actually Sweet James, I named Sweet James. I can
do it.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
With the with the PAC twelve conference adding teams in
Oregon State, Washington State. I was asked with Ted Robinson,
oh to do a basketball podcast this season.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
On what network TVD.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
There's there's a PAC twelve. I forget what it's called.
It's called like fast twitch or something like that. It's
part of the PAC twelve.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Well, you'll be competing with Kylie Kelsey, who's officially joining
her husband Jason Kelsey and brother in law Travis Kelsey
in the podcasting world as she is now a sports personality.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
This is what it is right now, but it's still.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I like that one. I like that one. I would,
you know what, I would maybe name it what We're
still here, I'm right off and here. Yeah. Anyway, don't
you care about Kylie Kelsey? I mean, you're sitting here
wrapped up in your Pack twelve podcast.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Why why is she? I thought that was already successful. Well,
she's she's gonna have her own or her own. She's
gonna have her own. She announced on The Today Show
that she will be starting a new podcast titled Not
Gonna Lie I'm Not Gonna Lie, beginning in December. Who
would have ever thought that the Kelsey's would become this big,
(04:37):
this fast?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Nobody, nobody, nobody, whoever thought the Kelsey's would be this
big nobody. All one of them had to do was
start a relationship with Taylor Swift and then the quirky
center from the Eagle Super Bowl team with Big D.
Nick is suddenly a huge personality. Now his wife is
as well. The podcast will be awesome yeah for them.
(04:59):
You can watch it on YouTube. Kelsey is planning to
cover topics such as modern parenting, social media trends, women
in sports that we got Sarah Spain for that Spain,
while also bringing on guests to discuss sports and pop
culture events. Her husband, the former Philadelphia Eagle Center, is
(05:20):
expected to make an appearance on the podcast at some point,
and then of course Taylor Swift I'm sure will make
an appearance as well. You know, the original NFL Wife
podcast is our own Kelly Stafford here in Los Angeles.
Oh it is, and she I guess and she ruffles
a lot of feathers. The original NFL Wife, like cutaway
(05:41):
to the stands modern football television, was Brenda Warner, right,
Kurt Warner's one with the haircut, with the crazy aggressive
hair and they'd go over there and she had like
the aggressive haircut, and they'd be like, there she is,
and she looked like the guy, the bad guy in
the fifth element, and then they'd cut back to Kurt Hurt,
you know, and he'd be throwing the ball all over.
(06:04):
So that was a thing, you know, whether whether he
was a giant when he was a a a ram
when he was a cardinal. That was a thing, right, So.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
You're saying she was the original.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
She was the original, but she didn't have a podcast,
so then it was Kelly Stafford. She would have though
Kelly Stafford always ruffling feathers, you know, talked about dating
the backup quarterback, you know, and uh, that was upsetting.
This week she said she feels bad for Joe Burrow.
Why because you know he loses at Cincinnati and he's
so good. She's like, it reminds me of you know,
(06:37):
our time in Detroit with Matt Matthew whatever. Yeah, and
it's like, you know what, in Detroit, they paid you
the biggest contract, They traded you when you wanted and
let you come to LA and traded you and did
everything for you, kissed your ass the whole time, and
they blew you in a playoff game and you're super
(06:58):
butt hurt and you're so mad that the people of
Detroit love Jared Goff a billion times more than they
ever loved Stafford.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
And they're the best team in football.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
And they're the best team in football, and now your
butt hurt talking ass about how bad they were when
you were there, and it makes you your heart breaks
for Joe Burrow, save it, Save it. I don't think
Kylie Kelsey will be this different. No, probably, who's to say.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
By the way, Kelly Stafford last week also making headlines
when she admitted she was jealous of the attention that
Taylor Swift is getting.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, she thought it would be better for the players
to get that attention. Well, and then, of course you
know what she was really saying or me?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
She said quote Now, I have never once said I
didn't like Taylor Swift ever, but I will say I've
kind of gotten tired of the chiefs coverage of it, actually,
the NFL's coverage of this budding relationship last year. And
she can do anything about that, No, she can't.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
What moving on?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
All right? Fine, don if you want to just give
me the tavernly discard your number of the day. Here's
my number.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
There's only been one. Let's move on. So far on
the Big ten network.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Oh that's good. When is the Brook McClain Big Ten
Wives podcast coming out?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Never?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Today we got Brett Beelam on Brett, you look pretty
big out there. You look like about three hundred and
fifty pounds.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Imagine my wife interviewing Tom Izzo.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Oh, be awesome out here in Westlake.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Tom, Yeah, I just got done shopping. Your number of
the day, Pete, is twenty six. Congratulations to the UCLA
women's basketball team on their huge seventy seven to sixty
two win over number one South Carolina yesterday. It was
the first time ever.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
We popped this game up on Fox. This was a
Fox game.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
The first time ever the women's basketball team beat the
number one team in the coy at UCLA. They were
oh to twenty before.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
They beat up Don Staley's ladies.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
And their reward p UCLA women's basketball team was named
the new number one team in the country and the
AP pole. How about that. Tim threw in this nugget,
which is pretty interesting if you think about it, the
dominance of Yukon and Tennessee and recently South Carolina. UCLA
(09:26):
is just the twenty sixth different team to hold the
number one spot in the AP poll in the history
of the women's Top twenty five That began forty eight
years ago. So in forty eight years, there's only been
twenty six teams to reach number one.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Interesting. That is interesting, Like that's a tough hill to climb. Yeah,
maybe you should have died on that hill. I know
you don't do postgame brew and talk for the women Kates,
but maybe that's the declaration you should have made when
the season started. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Is it too late?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah? Number one already. It's like, what was the last
Lady Bruins game you went to? Don? I shouldn't ask you,
you shouldn't know. Okay, uh, let's do This is the
song of the day.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Real quick, real quick, Ronnie, I only go to games.
I get paid for him.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, I met, But what if Corey Close called me, like,
don we love?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Then I'd go.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah, we'll be right back. We'll have some basketball talk
with the one and only Don mcclan. We'll do the
Dead and a live guy, Birthday of the Day, Final,
our fun fact, quick hits. We're on till three thirty,
another hour plus cracking. Everybody, Welcome back. It's the one
(10:44):
and only Petro Saying Money Show on AMPI seventy LA Sports,
your home of the Dodgers. Don McClain is in today.
He is live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. The reason
we're on early and we'll only be on to like
three thirty is because the Clippers are playing the Celtics
pregame of three thirty tip off at four thirty on
(11:06):
a FI seventy LA Sports. But tonight there is action.
LA Chargers host Lamar Jackson and the Ravens for the
Harbowl tonight. Matt Mundy Smith, Shannon Farron from Keffe Yoga,
and Daniel Jeremiah from the NFL Network on the call
five point fifteen kickoff. It's so far they're not going
(11:28):
to slide that one. Listen from it alt ninety eight seven?
What what? What do you shake?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It's new for me on the slide, the sliding of
the tip time is new for me.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
This year. We really are old, gnarled, barnacled creature, creatures
of habit. We spent most of the time complaining about
travel trips.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
We talked, We talked about se UCLA. We talked about
how the tarps were out and there were still empty
seats at the Rose Bowl and a cold, terrible knight
for football in Pasadena. But we press forward. Ronnie's hungover,
and we pressed forward this time for the top story
of the top story of it. Don you're a basketball
(12:14):
man and basketball is happening, Yes it is, and the
Lakers are basically the same as they were last year
under JJ Reddick as they were with Darvin Ham last year, right, I.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Mean record wise, I haven't looked at what they were
after sixteen games last year, but you're right. But I
also think it looks a little bit different. I think
JJ Reddick has instilled a little bit of enthusiasm there.
I mean, the roster is their roster, but to me,
it looks different, and you just wonder as the season
(12:47):
goes on, will that mean that they continue to evolve
and continue to improve so that at the end of
the year they're better than they were last year. I
think they will.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Honestly, overall, do you see a lot of difference with
how they are? I mean, like you said, it's the
same team the NBA has made up of players, and
the Nuggets really took it to them the other night
and kind of reminded everybody why the Nuggets are the
Nuggets and why they've beaten the Lakers two years in
a row in the playoffs. So what was your thoughts
(13:18):
about it.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I haven't watched, just because I obviously watch the Clipper
games instead because I need to, But I just get
this feeling that they're that they're gonna they're gonna be
better as the year goes on. And look, it takes
time when you have a new coach with new system,
new terminology, knew everything to really get rolling. But I
(13:41):
just it just feels different with Reddick being the head
coach to me like that that there's maybe the words hope.
There's more hope that they're gonna do what I just
said and continue to get better as the season goes on.
But we'll see, because the roster is the same.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Overall on when you look at the Lakers and you
see how they play, I'm still shocked at how good
Nikola Djokich is. I shouldn't be. I believe we had
this conversation three years ago and I said, wow, have
you seen this guy? And you said, yes, you idiot,
I have seen the guy. But the rest of you
(14:19):
are idiots and you don't see the guy. Why why?
I mean, he's he's clearly the best player in the NBA, right,
I mean, is there any question about that? I guess
there is no.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
There's not. I think if you look at the production,
why is it such an afterthought? Not sure? But if
you look at the production and the consistent production every
night from him, triple double seemingly every night. He is
the best player in the league. There's no there's no
(14:50):
up and down with him. It's you get You pretty
much get the same thing from him every night. Now,
his supporting cast has gotten worse the last couple of years.
They've let free agents go, which were very important parts
of the year when they won the championship. But you
just have to marvel at this guy in his ability
(15:12):
to affect the game, scoring, rebounding assists every night. And
one thing that never gets talked about is his level
of condition. Like you don't just roll out of bed
and get a triple double just because you're big and
you can pass and you can shoot, like no fatigue.
You have to be in great condition to do what
(15:32):
he does every night. And so we'll see with them,
because I don't think their roster they've had some injuries too,
Their roster just doesn't seem as good as it was.
So I'm not sure that just because of how great
he is, that you can say, oh, they're going to
win it when their supporting cast was better two years ago.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Now you touched the golden age of the NBA. I
guess when you were in the NBA. I mean, Michael
Jordan was out there running around. You know, it was
magic out there lumbering around. It comes.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yeah, he was at the very end bird and just retired.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
So but you you were around Patrick Ewing, was there,
the Hakeem, the Dream, Charles Barkley, guys like that. The
one thing I noticed about And I know it's a
different game now and you guys have a perspective on
that that none of us could ever have. But was
there a guy that you remember that just moved people
out of the way, kind of like djok does, like
just move people the way he does. Is there is
(16:27):
there a guy you remember, like, Wow, this guy's so
big and he can do everything I know.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
But there's It's funny you say that because I think
about this every once in a while, because whenever I
do a game or whenever I watch a game, I
say to myself, why is this guy good? And you
look at the measurables like one one guy that comes
to mind, believe it or not, is Larry Johnson. Remember
him from here, Grandmama, Grandmama, and I always wondered watching
him and we're the same area he was at UNLV
(16:53):
when I was at UCL. I'm like, how is this
six ' four inside player so good? And you could
say the same him about Barkley. You couldn't move them.
Larry Johnson was split low, meaning torso longer than the legs,
his base and his center of gravity. You could not
move them. I couldn't and I wasn't that strong. But
(17:17):
other guys couldn't move them. And so the question is,
is that why Jokic is so good. He's a combination
of all that. You can't move him. He's probably the
best passer in the league. He can stretch it out
to the three point line. But you always start with that,
and I talk about that a lot. When guys have
a good base and they're strong and you can't move
them or they can move you, that's a big advantage
(17:39):
when you're talking about It's a factor in college, but
more of a factor in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
When it comes to the Clippers, and we got Clippers tonight,
they're playing at Boston. I think Porzingis is going to
play for the first time this year after his foot surgery.
They haven't had a disappointing start by Clippers. Yeah, no,
they know, not at all. They've been pretty good. So
when they become more of a little bit of a
buzz in the NBA, what do they have to continue
to do to keep that going? Well?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
The obvious is continue to win. I mean there are
only two games out of first place right now, believe
it or not, at eleven and seven. But I don't
think any of us expected eleven and seven when you
hear Kawhi is not going to start the year healthy,
Norman Palace missed the last few games, and they continue
to win. And I saw it opening night, p And
I think we've talked about this on the show. Jeff
(18:26):
Van Gundy and his influence on this defense is the
biggest reason why they're overachieving right now, is why they're
winning games, why they're able to beat teams that maybe
you look at both teams on paper, the other team's
got more superstar players, but the Clippers beat them because
of their defensive intensity, their defensive attention to the game
plan and buying in and you have to it's Tylo's
(18:49):
team and he's the head coach. But the difference this
year is Jeff van Gundy. It's his first year here
and you watch them play, forget looking at numbers, or anything.
Just watch the Clippers play. They are way more engaged
on the defensive end this year. They are.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Is there any news about Kawhi.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
I haven't had anything. Wow, I haven't heard anything. Granted
I haven't been around the last three or four games,
but I haven't heard anything about that.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
There actually is some news about Kawai.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I guess wow.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
He will not play enough games, will not play enough
games to qualify for any NBA awards this year.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
That's that's not cool, which and we've talked about this
on the show, which only matters now because when talking
about max extensions and max contracts, you have to be
on the All NBA team, one of the All NBA
teams are one of the award winners. And he just
got a three year contract, so it really doesn't matter
in that regard for him, but for players in the
(19:44):
NBA now making All NBA as a major factor in
talking about contracts.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I really hope that Kawhi comes back.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
If he comes back, I mean, like I just said,
there are only two games out, there's not a lot
of separation in that west. He comes back, they get rolling.
Who knows?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
You think he'll come back at some point? I don't know.
I don't know either.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
It just seems like he'll be back at some point.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Has there ever been an odder player to cover in
your in your tenure, you know, Pro pro basketball Cutty
Mobiley Maybe.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
No, just but when he plays, he's that good he is.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
There is some breaking news. Did you see what happened
in the Arizona State b YU game at the.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
End of fans storm in the field right?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Did you see that? I didn't. Kenny Dillingham freaked down,
was screaming at the rats and all that. You know.
I did a game where that happened, and it was
funny it happened. And I saw the quarterback from the
Central Michigan team was starting for the Cowboys, Cooper Rush.
Really well, I know that guy called that guy's dame
so way back in twenty sixteen, Central Michigan, I mean,
(21:10):
Central Michigan is out there playing in Stillwater Oklahoma State,
and Oklahoma State's good like they always are, and Mike
Gundy in the whole deal, and they were trying to
run the clock and they threw the ball. They just
dropped back not outside the tackle box, threw the ball
into the sky to run the last six seconds off
(21:33):
or whatever. Okay, they throw a flag, the refs say
that's grounding. You can't do that. And so what Arizona
State did was grounding and they never called it. So
BYU should have had a shot fifteen yards closer, probably
from the thirty five, and they completed their Hail Mary
and not the two to Chase Roberts. So that was so.
(21:54):
What happened in the game that I called was they
gave Central Michigan an untimed out I'm out to the
fifty and I'm like, well, this guy didn't have the
arm strength. You know, they're gonna have to throw it
and pitch it back to somebody. They threw it and
pitched it back to a guy and scored a touchdown
and won the game. Really, Oklahoma State also claimed victory
and on their ring that year for the Big Twelve
(22:15):
Championship or whatever they played in the record, they counted
that game as a win. It wasn't a win. And
thank god we had Mike Pereira because he explained to us, look,
that's grounding. This is why that happened. Because it was chaos.
The Big Twelve people didn't know the rule. They had
to figure it out. So this is also a Big
twelve game at Arizona State and that same thing happened.
(22:38):
So they should have called a flag there. Wow, And
they should have called a flag on Kenny. He's screaming
and yelling and bowing up on the rafts and instead
nothing happened. Has there been a statement from Kenny made
a statement? Kenny made a statement saying the end of
the game was not good at all. I got to
do a way better job. I probably would have tried
to score and take them the risk of fumbling. Now
(22:59):
if that was a one point game, we would have
had to do what we did. Dillingham said he didn't
invest enough time on a scenario and practice and that's
something he learned from. So Kenny Dillingham is a great coach.
Not a great look at the end of that game.
But Kalate Sataki, the BYU coach, very classy, said, I
don't want to get upset the fans. They work hard,
(23:20):
they're excited, everybody's excited to be here. You know. He
handled it with a class class and gently. Two new
teams in the Big twelve second year for BYU. Anyway,
that was a follow up that just happened Kawhi may
may come back at some point, hopefully, and according to Dawn,
he does feel as if the Lakers will improve under
(23:42):
JJ Reddick as the season goes on. We'll be right
back with your dead and a Live guy. Birthday of

Yeah, right now it's time for the dead Guy. Birthday
of the Day, Paul Desmond, Don never heard of you?
Come on, Don, Have you ever heard this song? Yes? Okay,
been about one hundred years old today. Born Emil Brightenfeld.
(24:49):
That his real name, yeah, American Jazz Alto Sacks Star
Born in San Francisco, probably of Jewish descent, but they
were U raised Irish Catholic. His dad was a pianist,
he went to San Francisco Polytechnic High School. Home of
the Parents. That's right, Love Beach, Polly Jack Rabbits La
(25:15):
Paul gil Goodrich. That was before they built the four
h five. He told us. He went to San Francisco State,
became a jazz star. He was in the Army for
World War Two, stationed in San Francisco, but never called
into comback. Pretty lucky his collaboration with Dave brew Beck
(25:37):
and the Dave bru Bec Quartet. Dave Brubeck one of
the most famous pianists of the twentieth century. Real button up,
stand up guy Dave Brubeck is really what made him famous.
They rolled from the fifties all the way, all the
way to the end of his life, really but mid
to late sixties, nineteen fifty nine. This is a live
version in Germany. I think neen fifty nine Timeout on
(26:02):
the album or excuse me, the album Timeout and the
song Take five, which is this song written and composed
by Paul Desmond that became one of the most famous
jazz songs of all time. You don't recognize that, I do.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
I recognize this song.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Does it give you a cool feel? Yeah? I think
yourself walking around Morgantown with a cigarette and a trench coat,
bottle of Jack Daniels. Oh yeah, when you know him
as long as I have, he called him John. He
was a chain smoking womanizer. Desmond was very close with
brew Beck, but literally the opposite person. Brew Beck was real,
(26:45):
buttoned up family guide, took care of himself, lived a
long time, and Desmond was very close with Brubeck's kids.
Didn't have kids of his own. Actually left one of
the kids his Alto sacks. He had a light below
tone of the sacks like a drive Martini. He said,
improvisation known as logical the height of white jazz.
