At the SWI was Smitch, that's me live on location.

Dodgers on deck at six and pe We are here
on a Modello meets you a lot of Monday on
the Petros and Money Show, something we appreciate because well,
we took a tiny little brand known as Midello and
we were able to throw them on our backs. Yeah, well,
we do the heavy lifting. It goes back to a
legend that we heard, much like you know, Marty Robbins

(01:39):
uncle told him the legends of El Paso and Big.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Iron, and he wrote songs.

Speaker 6 (01:45):
We were told legends from an old radio man by
the name of Victor brick Jacobs of a deserted island
and he was sitting on the island naked like Tom
Hanks in Castaway, and up on the shore came a
can of Yeah, oh no, exactly nobody, and Vic told

(02:07):
us that story had inspired us. Matt and I jumped
on that rocket, pointed it upward, and shot it to
the mod It's the best selling beer in the United
States of America.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Number one voted number one, Number one just ask.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
Sweet cherry because of us, and everybody knows it's not
a met a lot of it's not made with Modello
awarded best beer in America period because of US and
Vic and and that one bottle or chick up on
the beach so many years ago, back in the nineteen forties,
feeling you pre World War Two. It's an incredible moment

(02:47):
and it is a reward for those with the fighting
spirit modebla the mark of a fighter. Okay, at Matt,
we're celebrating that here today. As we're here at the
Bult and we have a lot of dishes to wash,
it is time for.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
The word of his words, the word of the day.

Speaker 5 (03:02):
Today's word of the day is earth shattering. On Sunday,
Cooper looking House shook.

Speaker 6 (03:10):
The track and field world by finishing second in the
US Track and Field Championship in the eight hundred meter
race and running a three second personal best of one
minute forty two seconds point twenty seven, qualifying for the
World champions That's pretty impressive, Okay, But what if I

(03:30):
told you, What if I told you that that.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Lukin House is sixteen years old and just finished his
second year of high school. His time smashes the under
eighteen world record by over a second and is now
the fourth fastest American ever in the eight hundred at
six sixteen years old. Wait one hundred and fifty meters

(03:54):
to go, he was in sixth and made a massive
surge with one hundred meters to go, barely beat third
place Bryce Hoppele, who is currently the American record holder.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
We have the broadcast at the end of the race
as they.

Speaker 7 (04:07):
Come out the battle turn the sixteen year old high score.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Look can a us?

Speaker 7 (04:12):
Also on the mix the Crown, Going Crazy Girl Too,
brajer It's ranger in the hig school and Hopple.

Speaker 8 (04:25):
Now.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
When asked about his performance, Lukanhouse said he resorted to
middle school tactics at the.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
End of the race.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
What are those?

Speaker 6 (04:34):
Imagine being a professional and you get embarrassed by a
high schooler who used middle school tactics to beat you.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Phenomenters.

Speaker 6 (04:42):
The winner was Donovan Brazier, who is the twenty nineteen
world champion in the eight hundred meters. He also ran
a lifetime best of about one forty two point sixteen. Him
and lookin House and Hopple will hope to surprise the
world next month. In Tokyo. But I mean, the one
thing that freaked me out when I ran track and
field in high school was that the eight hundred meters

(05:05):
was not a distance event like that's they're not running
like they're running like they they're sprinting. The cooking that
is hardcore clippers, yea. And to have a high school
kid beat a bunch of pros out there using middle
school tactics, middle school tactics doing fart noises in the
guy's ears next to him, unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Maybe just straight farting.

Speaker 6 (05:26):
Yeah, who knows, We'll be right back. Excuse me with
the number of the number, number.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Of the day, number the day, guys, this is not
a paid add. The last time the wind was blowing,
the last time they made the turn, I just a
bunch of shards of that bermuda right in the face.
Number is ten and fifteen. Not a paid ad. I
don't have to put a hashtag ad on the ig,
don't have to take it down. I am sharing this
because of my sheer excitement surrounding this breaking news that

(05:54):
I was completely oblivious to, which is how I am
in most cases. To have everything ten episodes, fifteen years
dinner in our house is typically the three of us.
Now that Parker's in college and my oldest daughter, Peyton
lives in New York, it's Preston, my wife, and I
and we tend to watch old shows. Preston's great that way.

(06:17):
She likes good TV. And while we're making dinner, sitting
at dinner after dinner, in the background, we've gone through
arrested development family guy. I thought you're talking about, like
we watch guns. Oh god, the rifle Man. No, no, no,
I'm about to get pretty excited. Nineties nineties shows. Larry
Sanders has now been put in the rotation. But King

(06:40):
of the Hill heavy rotation. Oh yeah, I heard about that,
and I'll be damned, I did not see it coming.
But it's all over the news today because today's the
day after a fifteen year hiatus. The gang is back together.
The characters have aged. I told you this that it
was coming back. I didn't know it was like now,
though I thought it was in the distant future, like
here it is today, ten episodes on Hulu today, the

(07:05):
whole season. I thought they were gonna like slow roll
it or something, but today it's just dropping it on
everybody's face, dropping it on everybody's face. So today's not
the places. Well, I think if you have you gotta
have Hulu. So I think you have to have like
sometimes you have to have something and it's free, but
you could buy it somewhere.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Else that I don't.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
We got the Hulu, so I'll be watching it on
the Hulu. Today is the day all the regular characters.
Everybody's back, and I.

Speaker 6 (07:30):
Believe there in one of the episodes, I saw that
there is a big tribute to Tom Petty who was
a voice actor on there.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Chuck MANGIONI just cast away.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Sure they'll do something next season if he gets picked up.
I'm sure it will.

Speaker 5 (07:44):
But my favorite part today from the Mike Judge, right,
Mike Judge and Greg Daniels who did the Office.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
It's the two of them together. They did King of
the Hill and they're doing it again.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
This was Mike Judge is the guy behind Beavis and
butt Head.

Speaker 5 (07:56):
And this was of course Dale Gold right now, because
you know conspiracy theories before conspiracy theories became the big thing,
and if you're worried it's gonna be too political in
a time where things are too political. About this quote
about the show we tell relatable stories where people can
see themselves or their family in our characters, and that's

(08:18):
enough for us.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
King of the Hill tonight on Hulu.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
I wonder how they all approach the Dak Prescott situation.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
I'm not aware of that situation.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Well, just the fact that he sucks.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
Oh, I mean back in the day, like it was
like you know Troy Aikman, right, you know, yeah, and
they could celebrate the Cowboys properly. Yeah, you know, and
now it's like, what's what's Hank Hill gonna have to
say about Dak Prescott? Did you hear Micah's new podcast?
Now he was really going after Jerry Jones on that.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
It could be very ugly, you know, Dak Prescott, very polarizing,
you know when they talk.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
Yeah, cowboys.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
I saw the one of the storylines and the.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Michael Darson situation, very very volatile.

Speaker 5 (08:59):
Hank and Peg moved to Saudi Arabia as he ran
the propane industry out there for Sathy Arabia for a decade,
and now he's come home.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
She can't drive out there, that's right.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Well, I don't want you going to Dallas at all.
That place is crawling with crackheads. And debutantes, and half
of them play for the Cowboys.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah, he's right, Roddy.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
This is the song of the day.

Speaker 9 (09:28):
I left my wallet in El Segundo as our song
of the day from a tribe called Quest because the
Petros and Money show his returned t EAM radio frequency
where an I'm a Horse Modello meets you a lot
of Monday is underway broadcasting live from the bolt An
El Segundo for Chargers training camp, where a three hour
Quest for great sports talk will lead us to Dodger

(09:52):
Baseball back home at the Ravine to welcome in those
evil Saint Louis Redbirds for three games, beginning with Tim
cath Sendor Morongo Causino Dodger's on deck program at six o'clock.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
I think John Redcorn died too.

Speaker 5 (10:07):
Yeah, he got killed by his neighbor, remember, Yeah, yeah,
terrible red Corn is Bobby's still gonna sound like Bobby
with that's Yeah, he's got like some scruff. I think
he's a head chef at an Asian uh Asian American

(10:28):
fusion restaurant.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
I believe is why he is doing it twenty one
years old.

Speaker 5 (10:34):
Joining us next one of the most polarizing figures in
Los Angeles sports today, just because he's trying to do
something nice for somebody else, trying to help somebody, what
does it get you? Well, you know when that's somebody
makes three hundred million dollars, sometimes people don't want to help. Hey,
three hundred million dollars doesn't buy you happiness. Okay, it
can buy you a lot of nice things, but it

(10:54):
can't buy you peace.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
And happiness doesn't.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
Buy you our affection either. I'd be right back when
David pat where's your heart? Where's your heart?

Speaker 3 (11:12):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Make AM five to seventy or your favorite AM five
seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on the iHeartRadio app
using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Road Trip all summer with LA Sports.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
Hey, everybody, welcome back. Let's pet her some money on
a f I seventy LA Sports. Pardon me, Matt's gonna
do a top story, but I'm gonna run over to
the other side of the ind zone and download that
good Megan Repino, Sue Bird, Sarah Spad Podcast.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Come on Running Bikes, Dude, Running my Bike.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
Me it Sue.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
So cool.

Speaker 6 (11:50):
David Vasse is uh giving us a little bit of
the straight arm on this.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
Well, that lot meat, a lot of.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Money, tight up, got a big superstar type that sat
with him.

Speaker 6 (11:58):
Live Chargers camp at the Bolt, Matt and Iron, el Segundo, Dodgers,
Cardinals coming up, Max Muncy back in the lineup.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
Everybody's looking forward to that.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
But right, we got Gmes coming on to give us
all the latest on the Dodgers. So we got you
covered there, Jim Gomes, but he didn't post the cheer
for Mookie tweet that we wanted to dig into.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
Well, now Pantone has jumped on too.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Oh they've co opted this.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yes, David Vase, he's got the part.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
You know what. That's all right, We got stuff to
get to pee because it's a big day for us.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
Let's go top story of the day, Big day for.

Speaker 5 (12:37):
Big day on the Petros and Money Show, just like
we knew it, because our time has come, just like
we knew it with Modello, we were on top of
that right just I was way ahead on the Bataklavas
Botta Clava's, Lincoln Riley on that too, robot OMPs. We
knew it with Lebron. We knew it, We knew how

(13:00):
this was gonna go. Once the team traded for Luca,
it warmed the cockles of our hearts. We knew the
team finally gout from.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
It was our hope.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
It was our hope.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
It was our hope.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
But we felt it, we could feel it. We're like, oh, yeah,
they're gonna get it. They're gonna get out from under
his He's not in the clutch sports thumb. He's not
gonna like having another real superstar there. The moment that
deal was done, and we thought, perhaps because they're the Lakers,
not the Magic or the Calves or a team that
would still need to cling to Lebron for relevance, that
they acquired the power of independence, that they were most

(13:35):
certainly gonna flex said independence, and all too excited would
they be to tell him and his a whole crew
of a holes to pound sand indirectly, of course, with actions.
And it is no coincidence, by the.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
Way, I mean, really, it's happening.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
It's happened.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
It's happening before our eyes.

Speaker 5 (13:53):
And I gotta say, it's not hard to read between
the lines, and it is freaking glorious.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
I like it Mike.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
It was less than a year from his public humiliation
of the Lakers, public humiliation forcing the team to draft
his son, not sign him as an undrafted player like
they did with Austin Reeves straight out of Oklahoma, like
they did Alex Caruso a year after he left A

(14:21):
and M and was bopping around the G League with Oklahoma.
Things are man. Nick Mozilla is really good at finding
guys to fit value in the back end of the
draft or outside the draft. Certain skill sets, like the
eyes of Nick Mozilla are able to track down a
Max Christie in the second round, a Talon Horton Tucker,

(14:43):
or as Geeter like to call him, THHD Godd.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
I'm Geeter and I have no soul.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Ho cheez six man. This weekend he's riding high man.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Why don't you do another video for Andre drumming there?

Speaker 5 (14:59):
Geeter Vitza Zuba Spee Mahollic is still in the league.
All Nick Mazella's specials in the second round and they
could have just signed Browny as an undrafted free agent,
but no, they had him jammed up their arse by
Lebron in Clutch Sports so they could video his name
being announced celebrating with post draft party videos, and I'm

(15:20):
guessing the Lakers the whole time we're stewing, stewing over
the incoming they were taking for play, cating, for appeasing,
for turning over their ship, one of the finest yachts
that rides the open seas, a ten billion dollar yacht
to freaking Lebron James. Not an owner, not a GM

(15:42):
not a president, but an old man of a player who,
by the way, is going to be remembered more as
a calv and a Miami Heat. Think of it, he
played less, He played half as many years for the
Heat as he did the Lakers.

Speaker 6 (15:55):
He's going to be remembered as a blatant opportunist who
people hated when he was done.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yes, not a Laker.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
Kareem Abdul Jabbar played in Milwaukee for six years, won
three m vps and an NBA champion. They gave Ma
Harley on the on the on the goodbye they did.
But guess what I left here because I don't like
all these white people. Nobody ever remembers Kareem from Milwaukee
because he was a Laker. When you're a Laker, when
you're Robert Rory, and you win five other titles in
Houston and San Antonio, you're a lakerry fair.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
I don't know what it's like in Milwaukee.

Speaker 5 (16:24):
I don't know if like I mean the national turn
left on Kareem Abdul Jabbar Boulevard. No, I mean the
national media, like when they they're like, oh, Robert Riy
Laker Great Jabar, Like they're gonna say Lebron James Cleveland
Cavalier Great. They're not gonna say Laker Great delivered a
championship to the Lakers. I'd even just say Lebron James mercenary.

(16:49):
But it's here, pe, it is here now. Of course,
as people like to point out, the signing was mutually beneficial.
The Lakers were able to cash big checks when their
draft picks did not pan out and Lebron arrived. They
did get the Mickey Mouse title. But this has been
their revenge tour these last two months. I would call
it the the Jen Anist and Brad Pitt dumpster. And

(17:11):
did you see Jen's body? Did you see Jen and
the revenge bikini? Yeah, yeah, that revenge body. And you
know even Lucas got the revenge body going, no doubt.
And I mean, here we go, and this is and
I realized because they're flex When they sold the team
to Walter, they got their cachet back, they got the Hey, Luca,

(17:32):
here you go. Here's a three year deal worth sixty
mili per. In two years you can opt out for
seventy million per or in three years you can become
the league's first eighty million dollars per season player, nearly
one million dollars for every single game. Wow, we're here
to give it to you, Luca. I love the idea

(17:53):
that Lebron came to them and was.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Like, eh, can I get Can I opt out? And
got a two year EXTENSI Caonnard, Can we just do it?
Took at one plus one the player, No, well what
about a firewill? But what's gonna be doing.

Speaker 8 (18:03):
A A three?

Speaker 2 (18:04):
And Nope. You want to opt in or you want
to opt out. Those are two options, Bud.

Speaker 5 (18:08):
You you choose your path in whichever you choose, We're
fine with opt in or opt out. Those And by
the way, we're not signing Dorian Finney Smith for sending
a white dude shake la ravia. So uh, just get
back to us or have your people call our people
and we'll figure this thing out.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
But that's the direction this is going.

Speaker 5 (18:27):
That's a thing of beauty and our man, Mark Walter,
what did he do for Luca pie not only hand
him sixty plus million dollars per year, but chartered a
jet for him and all his Laker teammates to go
see the Backstreet Boys favorite because he's from Slovenia and
the Backstreet Boys are cool still over there. He took

(18:48):
a picture with all of them exactly like, and guess what,
you got a bunch of dudes on that plane.

Speaker 6 (18:53):
Yeah, a lot, a lot of the players went to
his press conference and on the right.

Speaker 5 (18:57):
Brand new Lakers Marcus Smart, DeAndre Ayton recruited by Lebron.

Speaker 8 (19:01):
Oh no, that's right.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
They were signed because Lucas said, these are the guys
I want to play with, and he recruited him, not
Dorian Finney Smith, who Lebron was.

Speaker 8 (19:09):
Like, who you think I can bring DFS back.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
I kind of looked that, No, No, we're gonna bring
the white guy out of out of wake Forest instead.

Speaker 5 (19:16):
It's all Luca. It's all catered to him and Lebron.
James didn't even show up.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
It's over rock.

Speaker 5 (19:22):
He ended up posting a video of him and his son, Bronni,
riding in a golf cart golfing. And I would like
to point this out. This is important because I had this,
I was lectured this, and.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
He looked like Lames.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
He really did chewing on that tea. For those of
you that want to parrot and copycat Jabron Lames, don't
you dare put that golf tea in your mouth, because
you put that golf tea in the ground, and that
ground is full of chemicals and fertilizers and freaking paint.
They paint the tea box because it gets so much
foot traffic that they put paint. So when Lebron's trying

(19:54):
to look cool by chewing on his tea like here golfer.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
House, that has something to do with this toxic attitude.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Actly right, don't do that. Lebron didn't show up to
Lucas signing. Why would he?

Speaker 4 (20:05):
He was very conspicuously not there.

Speaker 5 (20:08):
You know why he's pissed. We did this story p
much like all the other things we were early on.
We did the story of how Lebron was structuring his
contracts so he could be the first fifty million dollar
a year player. So Lebron would be the first sixty
million dollar a year player, So Lebron could be the
first seventy and now Rabbit ears like no one's ever had.

(20:29):
It's like a whole It's like a whole rabbit.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Pat, it's the guy in the locker right next to him.
Now Luca is going to be that guy.

Speaker 5 (20:35):
He's going to end up being the first seventy or
eighty million dollar a year player, the guy they traded
four to replace Lebron and get out from under his
influence and his a holary. And as I finished this,
let me add this because this is what got me
going today. This is not new news. Yesterday, we knew

(20:58):
that Lebron. It was shared that Lebron was not at
the press conference. I was, but he facetimed Luca almost immediately.
It just showed up today today. This is a story
that broke yesterday. Today it showed up on the front
page of ESPN dot com. Sources Lebron. This is the headline.
This is a real headline. When NFL training camps are

(21:22):
open and the baseball season is tight as a Queen
Latifa jumpsuit. This is the third head sources Lebron congratulated
Luca on new deal.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
That's a headline.

Speaker 5 (21:38):
That is a headline, but it's not on the real
it's on the NBA headlines, right, it's not on the
real head what's that buzz from NFL training sources? Lebron
congratulated Luca on new than Dave's Mookie Betts thing. Hey, guys,
can you get that's wrong with that?

Speaker 1 (21:55):
You know?

Speaker 5 (21:55):
I mean, that's just what the people have said on Twitter, ESPN.
Can you guys, can you do his favorite Can you
put the story on the front page? Can you let
everybody know that Lebron congratulated Luca vfaced Huh. He's really
that concerned. He's that concerned about people saying, hey, Lebron,
you loser, you punk ass?

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Why weren't you at the pressler man?

Speaker 4 (22:11):
Because he's not the center of attention, That's right.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
And he hates it. He hates every second of it.

Speaker 5 (22:16):
And it's gonna be a glorious year. Oh we love it.
This year was made for the Petros and Money show.
May Luca carry them to a title, win League, MVP,
win finals, MVP and Lebron James has to stand on
that platform. I'm just chasing ghosts watching him do it
as a sidekick. Tell Luca, who understand that is the

(22:37):
best The Lakers losing in the first round of the
playoffs are that sort of shot shot and Friday, that's
not what we want.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
We want them to win the championship. Luca is League MVP,
he is Finals MVP, and freaking Jabron's just got to
stand there and be like fifth title.

Speaker 6 (22:56):
I'd like to see him alone on the ghost train,
one tier going down.

Speaker 5 (23:01):
I want to celebrate this championship by fifth, but I can't.
I can't celebrate it. I'm so sad. This is not
what I wanted. I mean, not like this.

Speaker 6 (23:11):
Lebron James and his people went through like four hundred
versions of gymnastics and twisting themselves into a pretzel just
to put out the narrative that he knew about the
trade or didn't know about the trade or I mean.

Speaker 5 (23:26):
Well, of course he knew. I thought you said he
didn't know, but well, I mean, of course they would
run it by him.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
We didn't run it by him.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
Well you know, it was intimated that of course they
run these things by Lebron. I mean, he's Lebron James.
But yeah, everybody said that it was just two people
that knew, the Nico guy and Pelinka, And.

Speaker 6 (23:39):
Like you said, you did the story, you know, when
they didn't get what they wanted, freaked out. They did
that weird statement about.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
The Lakers are going to do what's best for Lebron.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
Lebron's gonna do what's best for Lebron.

Speaker 5 (23:52):
Yeah, clearly they're doing what's best for Lebron. Hey, who
wants to go see the Backstreet Boys? Walter chartered a
jet and got your backstage passes.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
I'm out of here golfing Lebron. He what's up? Everybody
shut up?

Speaker 5 (24:05):
He face timed to know. I mean, I saw Mark
Stein had that story, But now that it's what I mean,
Stein had it yesterday, not a knough It wasn't a
enob no, because everybody's like Lebron wasn't there.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
He sucks.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
So now it's like, hey, guys, sources, Lebron congratulated Luca
on new deals.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
I'm sorry, that's not the number one story in sports
today right now.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
The headline, oh Ben, you don't believe it, your Lebron love,
your weirdo.

Speaker 6 (24:28):
Three people on the ghost Train has a bigger headline
than Lebron facetiming.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Lens like it's the third headline.

Speaker 5 (24:34):
It's on the front page and the headline is sources
Lebron congratulated Luca on new deal.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
That's an embarrassment.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
That's not journalism, Ben Lebron's sexuality for you.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
It's a freaking journalistic reach around us. What that is?
I can't hear you.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
This shaving is just agregious. We've got to shave you up.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
It's right. You gotta get off that guy like ESPN's
gotta get off him.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
Off his ass.

Speaker 5 (25:01):
Sources, Lebron congratulated, and there's freaking old doctor Drekar spinning
his tail about Clutch Sports.

Speaker 6 (26:17):
Matt joining us right now, a young man that we've
been excited about ever since his draft day because there
was a highlight of me calling one of his football
games when he was at at Houston, and I believe
you know, he picked up an old.

Speaker 8 (26:30):
Lineman and threw up throw him too.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
The sands grabbed the running back.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
And knocked his face off, and I said something like, oh,
that's a nice tunnel there, and that's how that's you know,
that's that's the complexity of my job, right. But joining
us right now on your Southern California Celebrity Hotline brought
to you by Toyota is Jamari Caldwell, rookie nose tackle.
Spend some time at Oregon, but before that the city

(26:55):
of Surop, Houston, Texas.

Speaker 8 (26:58):
Before that, he was a UK first.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
So Juco, Yeah, what's it jew coach?

Speaker 5 (27:03):
Right?

Speaker 8 (27:03):
Yeah too, coach.

Speaker 10 (27:04):
Juco started off in Hedchison Community College where out in Kansas.

Speaker 5 (27:08):
Okay, that's where they had the Juco. It really pops
off for Juco.

Speaker 10 (27:11):
And yeah, and I also went to the one that
was famously known for the TV show Oh.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
Yeah, community you have WILLI friends?

Speaker 8 (27:17):
Uh No, I didn't. I didn't know one that we will.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
But he can't.

Speaker 5 (27:20):
He ended up in Houston, Yeah he did. But you
weren't at Houston with Willie?

Speaker 8 (27:23):
Was that?

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Now?

Speaker 4 (27:24):
When you were in.

Speaker 10 (27:24):
Oregon, we had the conversations with him. He came as
soon as I was leaving.

Speaker 6 (27:28):
So what's that like when you've spent two camps in
junior college and you know what that's like?

Speaker 4 (27:34):
One day there's a dude, this is our left tackle.
On the next day, where's that dude.

Speaker 8 (27:38):
Yeah, he's gone.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
Yeah, you know, and nobody knows.

Speaker 8 (27:41):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (27:41):
And now here you are up here and this is
an NFL training camp and it's beautiful and uh, you're
you're doing great.

Speaker 4 (27:49):
Uh how does that make you feel? Do you have
time to have that kind of perspective.

Speaker 8 (27:53):
It's always I just looked back at It's always been
a blessing.

Speaker 10 (27:56):
And like if coming from Juco, you talked to a
lot of Juco guys, I will say we are very
humble on the experience in the journey that that's just
coming throughout the way. So being out here in is
nice weather, you can't really complain about it. Kansas is
ninety degrees right now, I believe so. And how it
is out there is strange, strange screen and you don't
really get there. This supplies you got here. But it's

(28:20):
it's just keep your levelhood. It just being out here.

Speaker 8 (28:21):
It's just amazing coming out of high school.

Speaker 5 (28:24):
If you don't have a full ride or you don't
have someplace that you're excited to go, and you and
you end up going to Juco route, how hard is
it to stay?

Speaker 4 (28:33):
You know?

Speaker 5 (28:33):
Because that's hard. You see guys that you know guys
that you competed against. This guy's going to lqu this
guy's going wherever, and and people say, oh, where you're going, Well,
you're on going to Hutchinson And it's like, oh, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
I mean, that's that's that's a grind.

Speaker 5 (28:48):
Now people don't want it because it feels like a
step down.

Speaker 8 (28:50):
Yeah, I was a zero star zero. Yeah, I ain't
had no stars. I was my last year I play
old line.

Speaker 10 (28:57):
But coming out of Zuko, I mean coming out of
high school, it wasn't really as hard for me because
I knew the process of me going to Juko and
having the coaches come there and recruit you just how
see my high school small, so we won't have the
biggest coaches come through and come recruited a lot of
our guys. But going to Juco was just exactly like
I would expected going to a bigger high school and
be like, so you'll be in the middle of practicing,

(29:19):
you'll have Miami, You'll have all the top schools come
watching you and doing drills and all that.

Speaker 8 (29:25):
So that was a blessing.

Speaker 10 (29:27):
The same for a small town guys like one, I'm
coming from a lot of that guys like to just
if it ain't a big offer, right, then they just
go straight to doing so.

Speaker 5 (29:37):
And for people Jamari that don't know, like you said too,
but you got stuck in the in the COVID how
you got.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Caught in that? So kind of walk us through what
happens there all fell apart.

Speaker 10 (29:48):
So I was a hitch, Like I said, It was
my first year playing. That was my second year player
officer line. I switched my last year high school, got
a lot of offers from Juco's. It was pretty hard because
that cover rule came around where they made it a
rule where they could only travel a certain number of
out of state guys. So and I was and I

(30:08):
was one of the guys that got when they sent
all of us home, you got COVID and they called me.
It was like, we're gonna want to bring you in.
And my mindset was cold was happening. Nobody knew when
football season go start. So my mom was doing at
home business, cooking and things like that, and I just
chimed in on that. I want to say I was
a big help, but I was there to get up

(30:29):
every morning and serve a lot of places, do weddings,
funerals and things like that. So it was a humbling
stride and football. Oh yeah, I was out of football
for by a year. Then did you know you're going
to go back?

Speaker 8 (30:40):
I always always knew I was back.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
Yeah, get bunked in the head again after that.

Speaker 10 (30:45):
Yeah, I just I just knew I had to go
back as a defensive linement because I knew, like just
being there in Jucobe the first experience seeing all the
defensive line coaches, I'm watching D line. I'm going to
get the D line guys, Like I know, I could
at least switch back to the defensive line and get a
couple offers, get a couple offers.

Speaker 6 (31:01):
Jamari Caldwell is our gas rookie sensation on the D
line for the Chargers.

Speaker 4 (31:06):
And then we love him.

Speaker 6 (31:07):
We love that he came from the city of Syrup
and to what is offensive line, play your your opposition
like you thought it would be at this level?

Speaker 5 (31:17):
Uh yeah, yeah yeah through some guys around on Thursday,
I hope.

Speaker 8 (31:22):
So yeah, yeah, I was in there striking man. It
was you.

Speaker 10 (31:26):
Just like I said, with the journey, you just got
to put your head down and go and play fast.
And I said, I feel like with the coaches put
you in a position where they shortened down the calls
and put a lot of calls where guys could go
in and be themselves and just play fast.

Speaker 8 (31:38):
So it was it was great going out there.

Speaker 5 (31:40):
What you make of walking through the Hall of Fame
and kind of having that as your your previewl man?

Speaker 8 (31:45):
It was crazy.

Speaker 10 (31:46):
I mean just seeing certain things that got I mean
the process of how this game has changed and things
like that. Some of the guys playing and with other
helmets I've seen that that was pretty crazy. But it's
all just a humbling experience seeing a lot of well,
I mean where we see a great every day. I
mean a lot of great every day. But Khalil Maggot
he is finna be a future Hall of Famous. So
just being around it is just amazing. You like that

(32:07):
better than Eugene?

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (32:09):
Yes? Yeah? I mean yeah, I love Eugenie.

Speaker 10 (32:13):
I ain't like the pollen, but the weather's here is
always the same and always beautiful.

Speaker 8 (32:16):
I see wise a lot of people.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
You won't have that allergy problem here.

Speaker 8 (32:19):
Yeah, I know, I'm already What about.

Speaker 5 (32:22):
Going from from Houston because that was kind of a
how much did that change? Like you're playing next to.
Is Derek Carmon right that you're playing next to up there?
Did they change what they asked of you versus what
you're doing in Houston? And how'd you feel about that?

Speaker 10 (32:32):
I feel like Houston, mindset wise, is a program. It
was a lot different than going to Oregon. For Houston,
it was we we can win. We got an opportunity
to win. But Orgon it was we will win. And
I feel like God's chimed being on that role. I
was my role at Houston was had a lot of
different roles, but I felt like we was just a
team that was more of an attack and just go
get the quarterback guy.

Speaker 8 (32:53):
I feel like with Landing it was the same way.

Speaker 10 (32:55):
He just made me more of a I feel like
he helped me with my draft stocker being at the
true zero. I never play zero, organ so or two
eye and the nose, And I feel like I had
a very productive year in the A gap, So I
feel like you helped me a lot with the transition
going to the NFL. Also, the due process of hobbing
more professional. Everything we do here is the same with Sat.
We in the same way.

Speaker 6 (33:16):
Organ, So, Uh, what were you guys serving back of
South Carolina catering.
