old radio, the old FM dial, the old ninety three
three FM iHeartRadio app. It's time to welcome back to
the radio program. After a couple of weeks off your
favorite Southern California, your sports talking legend, one half of
(00:54):
the fabled Petros and Money Show in Southern California, One
damn fine Greek American.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
And my friend Petros Papadocus brought to you, Bob.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
That would be the one and only Sweet James, the
dense beard of justice, distributing justice for almost two decades
and he's amassed way over a billion dollars for thousands
of clients.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Give him a call.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Don't let yourself be taken advantage of after an accident,
car accident, motorcycle accident, tog bite eight hundred and nine
million for sweet James. That's eight hundred nine zero zero
zero zero zero zero.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Well, we missed you last week. We had the annual
Mather Millen mock Draft.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
How did he go? Good? Good took Shad? I don't remember.
I think the Steelers may have taken Shador. I'm not
certain of that. I'd be honest with you.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
I know the guy that had the Seahawks pick nailed
the Seahawks pick. They took the same guy they took
in Gray's abel. So that's who's that guy. He's a
guard from North Dakota State. Yeah, no, who's that guy?
The name of the guy that had the Seahawks pick.
I don't remember his name off the top of my head.
Oh like a like if correct? Yeah, yeah, we used
we use you know that?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I just thought you and Hugh went back and forth.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
No no, no, no, no no, because then he gets
to criticize or compliment the selection. Oh okay, right, yeah,
so did you enjoy the draft? Actually, I mean I
watched it just like everybody else. Right, Uh, this was
the most watched for a while. And you know, it's
kind of the same as Colorado football in a way.
I mean, was it manufactured?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yes? Was it as good as everybody said it was? No?
Was it embarrassing? Yes? What was embarrassing? Just the whole thing,
the whole draft.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Well, I mean you had you had announcers embarrassing themselves.
Oh no, Kyper, you're talking about well, not only I
mean on day one it was everybody, you know, almost
a lot of different.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Guys, like who what were they doing?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Well, they just Jackson Dark the videos running, and you're
screaming about Shador Sanders, you know, I mean everybody anytime
somebody got drafted, that's not what they.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Were talking about.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
They spent a whole draft on this one story, and
they should be embarrassed, But the truth is they're not.
They're high fiving. The NFL is high fiving, and NFL Network, ESPN,
they're all everybody involved is high fiving because just like
Colorado football, were they really challenging for a championship? No,
(03:25):
not really, but they were a huge story and everybody
got their pound out of it because there was ratings
and money to be made off of the story. So
as embarrassing as it may have been for like a
football purist and saying, ruin this guy's moment, that guy's
moment they watched, you know, I was interested to see
(03:49):
how far he was going to fall. And it's look.
The media, as powerful and as a screaming mimi as
it is, can't get a guy drafted, not since Lonzo Ball,
who was drafted out of place because of Magic Johnson
the only guy dumb enough to fall for it. He
(04:10):
got Tatum and de Aaron Fox behind him. But not
since then does the media get a guy drafted. You
can't just scream and yell and throw a temper tantrum
and make the NFL, which is a professional league, bend
to your will. And any professional league there is a
scale of a player of how much of a pain
(04:33):
in the ass is this guy and how good is he?
I mean, you guys dealt with it with DK metcalf right.
Maybe I don't know, I.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Mean maybe, or I mean a little bit. But he's
a typical just divas.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I mean to think about those stories of well, ya
siel Puigue is a great example, you know, the second
that the pain in the ass part, which was prevalent,
became bigger than the performance.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
He was an afterthought. He was gone. You know.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
So these things play themselves out at that level, and
it's both sides.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Of the coin.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
For people that are political about it. For all the
people that wanted Kaepernick to be on a team, it's
the same amount of people that wanted Tibo to be
on a team. And the truth is their performance wasn't
good enough to warrant the pain in the ass level, right,
And I think that's what all these NFL people weighed.
And I really don't think he was that great, you know.
I mean he's a good, great, good to great college
(05:29):
quarterback who took a lot of risks, made a lot
of mistakes, took a lot of hits, didn't have much
of a run game, right you know. And I could
say I thought the same about Mahomes and was desperately
wrong about him.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Oh I remember my take on draft day. I was like,
they moved up to get that guy. Yeah, you never
played against the defense in the Big twelve, And boy
was I wrong.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
But by the.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Way, just five of his games, right, you know, maybe four?
And I didn't see it. So, I mean, it's it's
an interesting process. But obviously I think the Sanders family
didn't do themselves any favors right with the way that
they handled it.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
And it's kind of a gray area for.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
A lot of people now with the new nil stuff
in the amount of money. I don't know if it's sustainable,
but the amount of money that's being made right now.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
You know, these guys like.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Quinn Ewers, we're gonna we're gonna look back on like
Mike Williams and Maurice Clart and say, God.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
What a mistake.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
You know, he could have done this, He could have
done that, he could have made this, And that part
of it's hard because because there's a lot of new
decisions to be made and we're.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Not on top of it. Yeah. Well, but by the way,
just for the record, petros.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I did not even ask and bring up the name
Shader Sanders, you did. I. I just asked about the
draft in general terms. But wasn't that the whole Yes,
that's the that's my whole point, that that's the entire story,
not a second. Because he's supposed to be a blue
blood and they get three guys draft, right, Nobody in
the first round. I mean that's become a cautionary tale.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Well, I mean, you know there's some people that are
given you deb grief for having the one guy in
Carson Bruner, but that that roster got blown to bits, obviously,
and they had like a thousand guys drafted the year before.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
But still embarrassing, no, no doubt. You know, you're a blue.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Blood, You're you see yourself the way Washington football season itself.
You gotta churn more guys into the NFL. And when
you know, when I played at USC, that's how it was.
I mean, and we weren't that good, but I remember
Keyshawn went number one while I was there. Darryl Russell
went too. You know, big draft parties, you know, Chris Claiborne,
(07:39):
Brian Kelly, the corner. I mean, guys were constantly going
almost in every round. And it's a shame because those
guys exist here in southern California. Yeah, but they're being
poached by other schools. A lot of them are going
to Oregon.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Well, whether good or bad, right, I mean Colorado kind
of in dion own the weekend, right, I mean, that's
that's who was getting talked about Man, same story during
the college football season, stame story during the draft that
everybody's talking about Dion and Colorado Man. So if that's
the if that's the end game, if that's the goal,
then you know, I guess job well done.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Hey Petros, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
If if your son Fletcher did what Jax Olbrick did
to Jeff Olbrick and found a a iPad that you
wo had left open in your office with sensitive information
phone numbers of potential draft picks and punk somebody the
way Jacks Olbrick did do Shador Sanders on draft day,
(08:41):
you get fined one hundred grand, your employer gets fined
a quarter million. But in this scenario, Fletcher's probably just
get five. In this scenario, Fletcher's twenty one, He's not
like nine.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
What's your reaction as a father.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Well, I mean I'd be pretty disappointed. I didn't know
how prevalent draft prank call thing. What. Yeah, Carter got
punk too, Yeah, and I don't Is there a fine
for him or no? It's just because of your door
maybe yeah? Yeah, I mean I think I feel bad
for old Brick. I mean, I remember Old Brick when
(09:16):
he was the decordinator at U C. L A and
Jim Mora grabbed his face with both hands on the sideline,
remember that vaguely because he's trying to walk off the field.
Oh god, Maura not an easy guy to work with it.
I know he's a friend of yours.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Well he's a little he's a little excitable sometimes. Well yeah,
he has Olbrook's face in both hands.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Right right, like in Indiana Jones with the with the
coin or whatever.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
It's very unfortunate. I feel bad really for everybody involved.
And I think it's a cultural problem with young people, uh,
with you know, the people the streaming. I'm gonna stream
myself on the subway and not going to pay for
the fair. I'm gonna stream myself disrupting this. I'm gonna
(10:03):
stream myself going around a festival and flipping people's hats
off and see how they.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
React and yeah, serious, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Well yeah see, and you would watch it, and I
know I'm kidding, but you know what I'm saying, like that,
this is that culture. And look, if you have a
skill for something like you want to put like a
Ferrari engine on an ATV and ride it around on
the internet, like, at least you're doing something, but the
I'm going to break the law or I'm going to
(10:32):
do something that's tasteless and put it on the internet.
It sadly become a terrible just a terrible symptom of
modern society, with the with the devices and the and
the modern ways of communication.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I just want to run into the hills, the modern ways. Yeah,
these ways.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Speaking of that, I don't prove your ways? Am I
the Am I the only guy? I don't know how much?
You and Matt shadow up Man talked about this Wolverines
to the Hills, the Bill Belichick thing with girlfriend. Am
I the only guy that just doesn't give a damn
about any of it?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Well? Why is like why is this important?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Why is there is no Well, there's an old saying
that says there is no.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Fool like an old fool.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
And it's not a I mean, it's it's creepy. She's
twenty four and she's on her in love. She has
the crazy eye and you know, a football coach. It
didn't used to be like if Chuck Knox had a
twenty four year old girlfriend, right, and he's about as
(11:46):
lovable as Bill Belichick is.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
The public persona was.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
I mean, we had Chuck here for a while, so
you know what I mean, layoff, layoff ground, Chuck.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Chuck Knowle, Okay, Chuck Knowle. Let's say he's got a
twenty four year old girlfriend back.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
In his sad but Greg Popovich, yeah right, no one
really cares, like.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Back then, right, they just don't care. But the football
coaching position has become such a pr position. It's become
such a weird visible ceo of sorts, and you have
to be such a dynamic personality at the college level.
That's she's going to be right out front. You know,
(12:26):
there's a reason. I mean, there was a long time,
Softy that you couldn't even get a college job unless
you were a married man. Like it was really rare
that you would see a single college football coach like
Dana Holgerson or somebody like that.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Well, Danny Sprinkle, the basketball coach at Washington, he's not married, right.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
And it's more prevalent. It's more prevalent now, right, But
it used to be like unless we could say, well,
me and Nadine, we'd love to have Terrell over for Thanksgiving.
You know, if you guys live out of state, you know,
we are family, Nadine and I we love to real
(13:07):
you know, I mean, that's that's recruiting for the last
thirty forty years.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
What totally am I wrong? Now, You're exactly right.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
So he could spend the night, daughters away in college.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
The wife, the kids. Yeah, the family were happy to
be here.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
That's the whole thing. And you know, you go through
the media guy and the coach. They had the coaches
and their families and everybody looks at the kids and
the wife and and that was that used to be
college coaching. And in some ways it still is. But
uh yeah, it's a it's a weird situation. I mean,
(13:46):
I remember when we were at USC, we had a
doctor and he looked a lot like Montgomery Burns and
his name was Chester Semmel, okay, and you know he
used to shoot us up and stuff like that, right,
And he was an old man. He looked like Montgomery Burns.
And his girlfriend was probably like thirty.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
All right, and she was hot and you found that creepy.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Well, she was always on the like in the on
the bus and in the hotel because she was with Chester.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Oh, wouldn't you want to show her off? If you
were Chester. Yeah, but what do you think it was?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Like?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Hey, girl, I've been room two hundred and thirty here
at the Bilmore. The doctor he won't see you.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Like hey, but good for him, right, dealing with the
slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Look, if you want
to have a relationship with a twenty four year old,
that's fine. There's a reason with us. There's a service elevator, right,
just don't make me look at it. I got you know,
she's sitting use the back door kind of thing. She's
sitting there dictating to him about football interviews.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
It's embarrassing. Not as embarrassing as the draft, but embarrassing.
Are you rooting for Lebron tonight? Oh? Come on?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Do people on your show know that you are openly
rooting for the Lakers to lose and be done?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Dude, you'd be surprised how many people in Los Angeles
are not fans of Lebron.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
All right, Lebron can ball out. Lebron can still dump.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
No, it'll be interesting because the refs are going to
try to help him.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
They didn't help him in Game four. They tried.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
How many what percentage of the LA Sports fan base
whoever they room for? Is it ten rooting against Lebron?
Twenty is significant number.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I don't know against, but I think the real riding
on the wall was when Luka Doncic came here. Whether
they get eliminated here in the first round and that
Nico Harrison guy does a victory lap in Dallas around
the Metroplex or not, this is it. I mean, Lebron's
forty plus, he's going down in the ditty trial.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
You think so you want him to go down, don't you? No?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Yes? Do I?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Well, I want you to be served.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Let me just say that you want him to Let
me say this, Okay, I'm not rooting for the FEDS.
I'm not rooting for duty. I'm rooting for the truth.
You understand me, softy.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I'm just rooting for the truth. Do all right? That's
what I get it.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Not my truth, which is some weird manipulation of telling
your story.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Now the truth, softy, Hey, the truth.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
By the way, speaking of Belichick and his girlfriend, isn't
like the president of France married to like a seventy
year old who was like his high school math teacher
or something.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Did you know that? Are you baiting me?
Speaker 4 (16:40):
No, you didn't really say the real thing. Seventy year
old Emmanuel Crone.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Yeah, it's that's actually a seventy year old What his
his wife?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
She's a Dude's she is not a dude?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Ude?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
What are you saying? There's no evidence of that. Bridget
trug new Uh allegedly is his wife. That's alleged. She's
seventy two years old and he's forty seven. Remember when
everybody thinks nobody talks about him? Remember when everybody he
said France.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Remember when everybody thought Lady Gaga had a puzza? Remember No,
I don't remember. And Anderson Cooper's like, well do you
She's like, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Do you think I do? I was like there.

And I really don't think he was that great, you know.
I mean he's a good, great, good to great college
(05:29):
quarterback who took a lot of risks, made a lot
of mistakes, took a lot of hits, didn't have much
of a run game, right you know. And I could
say I thought the same about Mahomes and was desperately
wrong about him.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Oh I remember my take on draft day. I was like,
they moved up to get that guy. Yeah, you never
played against the defense in the Big twelve, And boy
was I wrong.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
But by the.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Way, just five of his games, right, you know, maybe four?
And I didn't see it. So, I mean, it's it's
an interesting process. But obviously I think the Sanders family
didn't do themselves any favors right with the way that
they handled it.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
And it's kind of a gray area for.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
A lot of people now with the new nil stuff
in the amount of money. I don't know if it's sustainable,
but the amount of money that's being made right now.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
You know, these guys like.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Quinn Ewers, we're gonna we're gonna look back on like
Mike Williams and Maurice Clart and say, God.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
What a mistake.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
You know, he could have done this, He could have
done that, he could have made this, And that part
of it's hard because because there's a lot of new
decisions to be made and we're.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Not on top of it. Yeah. Well, but by the way,
just for the record, petros.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I did not even ask and bring up the name
Shader Sanders, you did. I. I just asked about the
draft in general terms. But wasn't that the whole Yes,
that's the that's my whole point, that that's the entire story,
not a second. Because he's supposed to be a blue
blood and they get three guys draft, right, Nobody in
the first round. I mean that's become a cautionary tale.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Well, I mean, you know there's some people that are
given you deb grief for having the one guy in
Carson Bruner, but that that roster got blown to bits, obviously,
and they had like a thousand guys drafted the year before.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
But still embarrassing, no, no doubt. You know, you're a blue.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Blood, You're you see yourself the way Washington football season itself.
You gotta churn more guys into the NFL. And when
you know, when I played at USC, that's how it was.
I mean, and we weren't that good, but I remember
Keyshawn went number one while I was there. Darryl Russell
went too. You know, big draft parties, you know, Chris Claiborne,
(07:39):
Brian Kelly, the corner. I mean, guys were constantly going
almost in every round. And it's a shame because those
guys exist here in southern California. Yeah, but they're being
poached by other schools. A lot of them are going
to Oregon.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Well, whether good or bad, right, I mean Colorado kind
of in dion own the weekend, right, I mean, that's
that's who was getting talked about Man, same story during
the college football season, stame story during the draft that
everybody's talking about Dion and Colorado Man. So if that's
the if that's the end game, if that's the goal,
then you know, I guess job well done.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Hey Petros, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
If if your son Fletcher did what Jax Olbrick did
to Jeff Olbrick and found a a iPad that you
wo had left open in your office with sensitive information
phone numbers of potential draft picks and punk somebody the
way Jacks Olbrick did do Shador Sanders on draft day,
(08:41):
you get fined one hundred grand, your employer gets fined
a quarter million. But in this scenario, Fletcher's probably just
get five. In this scenario, Fletcher's twenty one, He's not
like nine.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
What's your reaction as a father.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Well, I mean I'd be pretty disappointed. I didn't know
how prevalent draft prank call thing. What. Yeah, Carter got
punk too, Yeah, and I don't Is there a fine
for him or no? It's just because of your door
maybe yeah? Yeah, I mean I think I feel bad
for old Brick. I mean, I remember Old Brick when
(09:16):
he was the decordinator at U C. L A and
Jim Mora grabbed his face with both hands on the sideline,
remember that vaguely because he's trying to walk off the field.
Oh god, Maura not an easy guy to work with it.
I know he's a friend of yours.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Well he's a little he's a little excitable sometimes. Well yeah,
he has Olbrook's face in both hands.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Right right, like in Indiana Jones with the with the
coin or whatever.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
It's very unfortunate. I feel bad really for everybody involved.
And I think it's a cultural problem with young people, uh,
with you know, the people the streaming. I'm gonna stream
myself on the subway and not going to pay for
the fair. I'm gonna stream myself disrupting this. I'm gonna
(10:03):
stream myself going around a festival and flipping people's hats
off and see how they.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
React and yeah, serious, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Well yeah see, and you would watch it, and I
know I'm kidding, but you know what I'm saying, like that,
this is that culture. And look, if you have a
skill for something like you want to put like a
Ferrari engine on an ATV and ride it around on
the internet, like, at least you're doing something, but the
I'm going to break the law or I'm going to
(10:32):
do something that's tasteless and put it on the internet.
It sadly become a terrible just a terrible symptom of
modern society, with the with the devices and the and
the modern ways of communication.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I just want to run into the hills, the modern ways. Yeah,
these ways.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Speaking of that, I don't prove your ways? Am I
the Am I the only guy? I don't know how much?
You and Matt shadow up Man talked about this Wolverines
to the Hills, the Bill Belichick thing with girlfriend. Am
I the only guy that just doesn't give a damn
about any of it?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Well? Why is like why is this important?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Why is there is no Well, there's an old saying
that says there is no.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Fool like an old fool.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
And it's not a I mean, it's it's creepy. She's
twenty four and she's on her in love. She has
the crazy eye and you know, a football coach. It
didn't used to be like if Chuck Knox had a
twenty four year old girlfriend, right, and he's about as
(11:46):
lovable as Bill Belichick is.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
The public persona was.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
I mean, we had Chuck here for a while, so
you know what I mean, layoff, layoff ground, Chuck.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Chuck Knowle, Okay, Chuck Knowle. Let's say he's got a
twenty four year old girlfriend back.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
In his sad but Greg Popovich, yeah right, no one
really cares, like.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Back then, right, they just don't care. But the football
coaching position has become such a pr position. It's become
such a weird visible ceo of sorts, and you have
to be such a dynamic personality at the college level.
That's she's going to be right out front. You know,
(12:26):
there's a reason. I mean, there was a long time,
Softy that you couldn't even get a college job unless
you were a married man. Like it was really rare
that you would see a single college football coach like
Dana Holgerson or somebody like that.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Well, Danny Sprinkle, the basketball coach at Washington, he's not married, right.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
And it's more prevalent. It's more prevalent now, right, But
it used to be like unless we could say, well,
me and Nadine, we'd love to have Terrell over for Thanksgiving.
You know, if you guys live out of state, you know,
we are family, Nadine and I we love to real
(13:07):
you know, I mean, that's that's recruiting for the last
thirty forty years.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
What totally am I wrong? Now, You're exactly right.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
So he could spend the night, daughters away in college.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
The wife, the kids. Yeah, the family were happy to
be here.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
That's the whole thing. And you know, you go through
the media guy and the coach. They had the coaches
and their families and everybody looks at the kids and
the wife and and that was that used to be
college coaching. And in some ways it still is. But
uh yeah, it's a it's a weird situation. I mean,
(13:46):
I remember when we were at USC, we had a
doctor and he looked a lot like Montgomery Burns and
his name was Chester Semmel, okay, and you know he
used to shoot us up and stuff like that, right,
And he was an old man. He looked like Montgomery Burns.
And his girlfriend was probably like thirty.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
All right, and she was hot and you found that creepy.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Well, she was always on the like in the on
the bus and in the hotel because she was with Chester.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Oh, wouldn't you want to show her off? If you
were Chester. Yeah, but what do you think it was?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Like?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Hey, girl, I've been room two hundred and thirty here
at the Bilmore. The doctor he won't see you.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Like hey, but good for him, right, dealing with the
slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Look, if you want
to have a relationship with a twenty four year old,
that's fine. There's a reason with us. There's a service elevator, right,
just don't make me look at it. I got you know,
she's sitting use the back door kind of thing. She's
sitting there dictating to him about football interviews.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
It's embarrassing. Not as embarrassing as the draft, but embarrassing.
Are you rooting for Lebron tonight? Oh? Come on?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Do people on your show know that you are openly
rooting for the Lakers to lose and be done?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Dude, you'd be surprised how many people in Los Angeles
are not fans of Lebron.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
All right, Lebron can ball out. Lebron can still dump.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
No, it'll be interesting because the refs are going to
try to help him.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
They didn't help him in Game four. They tried.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
How many what percentage of the LA Sports fan base
whoever they room for? Is it ten rooting against Lebron?
Twenty is significant number.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I don't know against, but I think the real riding
on the wall was when Luka Doncic came here. Whether
they get eliminated here in the first round and that
Nico Harrison guy does a victory lap in Dallas around
the Metroplex or not, this is it. I mean, Lebron's
forty plus, he's going down in the ditty trial.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
You think so you want him to go down, don't you? No?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Yes? Do I?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Well, I want you to be served.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Let me just say that you want him to Let
me say this, Okay, I'm not rooting for the FEDS.
I'm not rooting for duty. I'm rooting for the truth.
You understand me, softy.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I'm just rooting for the truth. Do all right? That's
what I get it.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Not my truth, which is some weird manipulation of telling
your story.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Now the truth, softy, Hey, the truth.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
By the way, speaking of Belichick and his girlfriend, isn't
like the president of France married to like a seventy
year old who was like his high school math teacher
or something.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Did you know that? Are you baiting me?
Speaker 4 (16:40):
No, you didn't really say the real thing. Seventy year
old Emmanuel Crone.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Yeah, it's that's actually a seventy year old What his
his wife?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
She's a Dude's she is not a dude?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Ude?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
What are you saying? There's no evidence of that. Bridget
trug new Uh allegedly is his wife. That's alleged. She's
seventy two years old and he's forty seven. Remember when
everybody thinks nobody talks about him? Remember when everybody he
said France.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Remember when everybody thought Lady Gaga had a puzza? Remember No,
I don't remember. And Anderson Cooper's like, well do you
She's like, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Do you think I do? I was like there.
