Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KMF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Big big news
in the sporting world. The biggest news in the sporting
world right now the Los Angeles Lakers being sold to
Mark Walter and the overall value is ten billion dollars.
(00:22):
A guy that used to do play by play for
the Los Angeles Lakers on radio and on TV is
with us chick Hern, how you, sir?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Corn Machine Mustard came off, Yes, yes, generally, exactly right, Bunny.
I'll tell you about chick Hern story about the Collins show. No,
so we we My friend Zeke and I used to
call Stu Lance used to do pregame or used to
do postgame. Chick Hern used to do pregame, and so
(00:57):
they would both take calls. So Zeke and I would
call each of them repeatedly when I had season tickets
to the Lakers, and we would try to press both
of them for chick to add and the beer is
coolant to his to his celebration. And I'll be damned
if the one time he did it. One time he said,
(01:18):
and the beer is coolant, And we were like unbelievable.
I mean, it was like we were on top of
the freaking world.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
But that is great, buddy, I can't believe. Look, you know,
Chick current to me was bigger than life. And I
can't believe you knew him.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Well, I didn't know him. So he passed away before
I started doing prehapping posts.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Oh I see, I thought you worked while he was
still with a Lakers.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
No, he had sadly passed away. But I will say this,
this is how cool of a guy Chick was when
I got my When I graduated college, I had an
offer from two different record labels and I told each
of them that I wanted season tickets to the Lakers
for my signing bonus.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Wow, and.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
London Records was was like, all right, we'll get season tickets.
So I had four tickets for the Lakers Section twenty one,
right above the tunnel, and I would walk right in
front of Chick for where because he sat up top,
not on court side. And he got to notice that
we were at every single game, and every time we
would arrive, he would just eadn't know our names, but
he would say, what's up, boys, and he would hold us.
(02:18):
And this is before fist bumps were a thing, and
he would hold us fist out and we would bump
his fist and I thought that was just like, oh
my gosh, I've made it like I'm like a celebrity.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Is that was that the Great Western Form?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
That was at the Great Western Form? Yeah, our seats.
Jim mcklevain tried to fight me once. He was the
center for the Sonics and I used to hackle the
guys when they were coming in and out because I
was such a jerk. And he tried to climb into
the stands and that probably would not have gone well
for me.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I do remember how beautiful led Stadium was, maybe just
because we were, you know, young and stupid. We didn't
know anything else but that big promenade deck, you know,
that big circle. You could walk around the entire stadium
and still watch the game. That was a really special place, man,
it was.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
And they had the little secrets spot that only those
that knew knew, the whistle.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Stop whistlestop with the ceiling.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It was six foot and a six foot four ceiling
exactly right.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
It was just it's weird. You'd go down about twenty
steps and you get yourself that sliced ropes beef and
my goodness was delicious.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Oh it was unbelievable with that French dip and you
could dip it there you go back to your seat
with this beautiful sandwich. I think it was like seven dollars.
It was the absolute best.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Man.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
So the Los Angeles Lakers there really worth ten billion dollars?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Well, I think so, you know, I think when you look,
what do we always say, right, you're worth whatever someone's
willing to pay it. So you're based it on the valuations,
and you see the Celtics going for over seven billion,
and it's like, well, you know, the Lakers have their
own television channel, they're one of the most famous franchises
on Earth, and they're in the arguably, you know, if
(03:54):
not the second, the largest media market in the world.
So yeah, I guess that kind of equates to a
about two and a half billion more than the Celtics.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I have never heard of a team selling for that
kind of money without a stadium or parking.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
It's just the Jerseys.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah, that's uh, that's right. The Staples Center is still
owned by the Chute ag Inchutz Entertainment Group and they
have a lease with them and and yeah, they you know,
no parking, none of that. But it's still it's all television,
and you know a lot of it, tim is is
the national revenue. You know the fact that Adam Silver
was able to negotiate these hundreds of billions of dollars
(04:33):
worth of television contracts for the next seven years, so
every team is guaranteed this set income from those deals.
And then on top of that, they've got their own
gigantic billion billions of dollars of deals with Sports in
the LA and from Spectrum Sports Net. Yeah, so like,
all right, well, this is guaranteed money. These contracts are signed.
They're not going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
You know, Mark Walter is h I guess you know,
pretty easily arguably better than you and I at make money.
And he thinks that this team is going to be
worth double that in ten years.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
We have.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
It's the exact same conversation a decade ago, you know,
the two billion dollars for the Dodgers, and everyone's like,
that's an insane premium. There's no possible way that team
is worth two billion, and why would it. This is
just a guy who's you know, who's got a big
ego and wants to own a team, so he's overpaying.
You know, it's worth ten billion dollars now, it's just
(05:27):
it's yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And then we were talking to Fred Rogan earlier and
he said, you know, well he was just about to
go on with Fritz and so he gave us a
couple of time moments there, but he said, you know,
the six hundred and eighty million dollars that's been deferred
in Shoeo Tani's contract has been put into a an
escro account and then and the interest that it earns
(05:51):
goes back to the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
That I don't know. I did not know that the
interest went back to them. That that's news to me.
I knew that they have to put his seventy million
dollars salary into an esquirl account every single year.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
How do they get away with that without you know,
like it seems like it's it's not cheating, but it
seems like, you know, creating another way to uh to
pay the team way over the ceiling when it comes
to the you know, the cap.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
So my like my position on that was, I was,
all I love it because of well, I no, I
mean the just for me personally, the exorbitant taxes we
pay in this state. And this is a workaround. If
you have deferred money that is a decade plus when
you agreed to this deal, then you will take taxes
(06:43):
on whichever state you are in when you begin to
pull it out.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
So so like Lokie Betts has the same deal. He
has a place in Tennessee. He's going to pull that
out at four percent max. And you know what I mean.
So right, that's the work And you know, look, if
some people may look at it as oh, it's just
given the middle finger to the state, but it's not
just that it's California. Is it a competitive disadvantage? When
the Texas Rangers go to Corey Seeger and say, hey,
(07:09):
we're going to give two hundred and fifteen million bucks,
and he comes back to the Dodgers and says, well,
you've got to give me two hundred and forty because
California taxes and Texas has no state tax over the
course of this deal. Like, that's the disadvantage they're playing with.
So I took my cap to the Dodgers for figuring
that out, saying, hey, this is our workaround. Are you
cool with that? And it's worked.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
But you know it's also it deturs really good NHL
players from coming to the docks, the Kings or the Sharks.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, I didn't think about the NHL. But certain, it's certain.
I mean it's anything, right, it's Chargers, it's Rams, it's Lakers,
it's Clippers, it's Dodgers, it's Dangers, it's any it's look,
it's coaches. Hey, UCLA wants to hire fill in the
blank football. They want to hire Nick Saban. Well so
does Alabama, and they got no state tax and they're
both offering him the same money.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
It's amazing that we've screwed this.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
This stayed up so radically that it deters really good
talent from moving here.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yeah, I mean athletically, now, I do think. Look, if
you tell me that I can move to Oklahoma to
play for the thunder, and I can. I can save
eight percent because their state taxes five and mine's gonna
be thirteen and a half. I'm gonna go ahead and
pay that premium and live in California, or im gonna
I'm gonna be all right with that. I'm gonna go
ahead and take my paychecks here.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And not live in Oklahoma City or Arizona or Florida
where it's zero.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
I mean, you get every dime of.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
It exactly, so you know, you know how it is, Tim,
They always find a way.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, that's right, buddy, that's right the man. But I
appreciate you coming on with us. That's a huge story.
I'm sure you guys covered it all day long, but
I can't. I never in my life, first of all,
thought that Genie bus would give up, you know, ownership
of the Lakers. I guess she's holding on a fifteen percent,
but that ten billion dollar price tag is something I
think I would never have guessed.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Hey, you know, call me crazy, but if I got
a shot to put about eight hundred million bucks in
my pocket, I'm gonna go ahead and give that a
go and see how it works out.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
That's right. But I appreciate you coming on, man, You
are the king.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
You're the King.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Song with you.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Matt Mouney Smith over there with Petros and Money every
day on KLAC.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Three seven pm.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Competitors but good friends as well. So we mentioned their
show and they mentioned ours and we all benefit.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
I hope you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I don't know how this kind of crap gets started,
but we played a song yesterday or the day before
on this show.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I said it was great.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I liked it, And now a lot of people online
said that they said that I hated it.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
And I'm like, I never said I hated it, not once.
I like it.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
But somehow the rumors started online that I hated it,
and now there's like thirteen or fourteen people saying, how
rude I am.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
This is the song that we play.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I made it for the show and I thought it
was great, Let's play it.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Listening to the two Convation shows.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Don Angel Sefty, they dogged.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Mark Thompson's and on Tuesdays and Roaches on the they
dogged four to seven weekdays.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
On Cave, I think it's great.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
And I'd never heard four to two seven like that
where it sounds like three numbers to seven weekdays on
Cave because those are my trifecta numbers, the number four,
the number two, and the number seven.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I box those on almost every race and I lose.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
But it's my grandparents' prefit to their number, their phone
number in Sugar un Falls, Ohio. Their their phone number
is two one six, two four seven, then bop up,
bup up, and I can't mention it because somebody has
that number. Now they get pissed when I do that.
But two four seven was their prefix, their number, And
those are my oscar I mean, those are my Oscar.
(11:19):
Those are my trifecta numbers. I'm having lunch and dinner
tomorrow with Bellio and somebody who used to work here
at the station, and we're gonna go to a restaurant
that we all like here in Burbank. And I said,
why don't we go to California Pizza Kitchen instead?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I like that place.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
And Bellio looked at me and she said, you must
have gotten gift cards. Somebody must have given you gift
cards to California Pizza Kitchen. Right, Okay, you're not totally wrong, Okay,
I'm right.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
By the way, that is a really I mean, you
really are like a detective that way. I mean you
sort of squinted your eyes and you looked at me
and goes, something's going on with you. I smell gift cards,
and I'm like, God Almighty, I can't pull anything past you.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
You know, you're you're better than my wife.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
But you know when I when I fudge numbers around
her like you know how much we you know, didn't
win at the track.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
But I can't get anything by you. So you get
a lot of practice doing this. Huh yeah, yeah I do.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, yeah, But god, am I glad that I don't
live with somebody like you.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I really am. Thanks on a lot of levels, but.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Especially well right back yet you yeah, thank you.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Thank you. But I would What happened yesterday? I went
to Costco.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
You're familiar, and they have gift cards you can buy.
You're for seventy nine dollars and ninety nine cents. You
can get one hundred dollars worth of California Pete's kitchen.
So I was looking at him and I said, okay,
I like to go there. I'll buy one hundred dollars
worth of gift cards for seventy ninety nine. I'll save
(13:02):
twenty percent on the meal, and then I take it
to the register and the lady charges me sixty nine
dollars instead of seventy nine. And being the honest guy
that I am, I said, ah.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I looked at the receipt.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Those are supposed to be seventy nine, not sixty nine,
and she said, no, they're on sale. We take an
extra ten dollars off at the cash register. So if
you go to Costco, I don't know if they're available
at your Costco. They are in Burbank for sixty nine dollars,
you can buy one hundred dollars gift card for a
California Pizza Kitchen. I don't know how they make money
on that. That's a thirty one percent savings. And then
(13:40):
I also use my telephone number to get discounts. I'm
shifting a lot of you know, I go in there
and I work the discounts I'm working. I'm working at CPK.
I might as well just put on a you know,
on an apron and a name tag. I'm moving cards around.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Quit your job at Target and Home Depot and Low.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
But here's where I'm conflicted. Bellly, Oh, I know we'll
get to the news. Brooker, please you can sit down.
But I'm conflicted. I love California Pizza Kitchen, but I
love discounts even more so I might work CPK and
the BK and with all my discounts, and I don't
want to do that. But I want to save money.
(14:22):
I'm conflicted, very I'm conflicted. Okay, all right, Heather Brooker's
been pissed that we didn't get to the news on time.
I mean, all right, okay, all right, all right, okay,
all right, but what'd you sit down though?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I mean, you have to stand in point. I wish
we could stand in here again. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
That takes the stink off the fact that she's standing
right now.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
That's great.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
We have two celebrities who're gonna get Oscars. They've never
gotten an Oscar Award before. I don't know if they've
been even I don't know. I guess they're eligible, but
I don't know if they've been nominated before. But two
familiar household names are going to get Oscars next March.
One of them is Dolly Parton, great singer, great actress,

Speaker 8 (17:19):
Icon started nine to five and steal Magnolia's and those
scenes from nine to five iconic.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
I never thought I'd live to see the day i'd
say this about another human being, but you are evil?
Speaker 7 (17:29):
That's right, eve.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
Ak to the Core.
Speaker 8 (17:31):
She earned an OSCAR nomination for that movie for Best
Original Song They Want to Get in two thousand and
six for her song traveling Through from trans America.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
You know, Bellio, I gotta be honest with you. Up
until I just heard this, I thought you were being
original when you would insult Angel like that. But you
ripped off this line from Dolly Parks.
Speaker 9 (17:56):
Say this about another human being, but you are evil?
That's right, Elk to the core.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I always thought that was original. Did that? Staying Angel?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
When you heard her say that, or do you know
she was just sort of repeating Dolly Parton.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
I knew she had already Dolly Parton. Not an original
like as it.
Speaker 9 (18:13):
Needs about another human being. But you are evil, that's right,
evil to the core.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Let's do a quick whip around, quick, quick whip around.
It is unbelievable that Tom Cruise has never gotten an oscar?
How much money has he grossed in worldwide movies? Tom
Cruise and all of his work? How much has he
who he started a movie or at least appeared in
a movie. How much has he grossed world wide? Stephoushe
(18:45):
nine hundred million, nine hundred million?
Speaker 3 (18:48):
All right, Bellio has to be like five billion, five billion?
All right, Angel, I'm gonna say one point five trillion. Wait, yes,
that's what I said. Why don't you just say infinity? Okay, infinity? Okay,
(19:10):
all right, I'll change it to infinity.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
You are pure evil?
Speaker 8 (19:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
What did you always say about her? Oscar?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
What did you say as seriously, what do you used
to say about this uh, this woman?
Speaker 9 (19:21):
Maybe it's about another human being, but you are evil?
That's right, core?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Oh my god? All right, Heather Brooker, how much Tom cruise.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
I'm gonna say he's how to give a lot of
it to scientologies, though maybe he's got like half, like
five hundred million left.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Wait, so what total five hundred million? No, I mean,
what how much is he gross? Not how much has
he made and given away.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
I'm gonna say, Okay, I'm gonna stick with five hundred million.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
All right, Okay, I gave you a couple of lifeboats
and you didn't get any of them. So we're gonna
we're gonna shove off here.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
The actual person who got closest to the right answer
is Bellio. She said five billion and she was off
by eight billion. What thirteen billion dollars? Thirteen billion dollars.
(20:13):
That's unbelievable. Thirteen billion. And he's never won an oscar. Yeah,
that's crazy, that's outrageous.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
I mean, despite all of his personal life in drama
so that he is a really talented actor.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
He's one of the best.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Yeah, and he made thirteen billion dollars for Hollywood and
they gave him the middle finger and never gave that
man an oscar. Yeah, that's embarrassing. That really is Embarra.
That's gotta be a record. I'll bet you there's nobody
else that's made more money for Hollywood. I mean, when
you think about him, didn't get an oscar?
Speaker 7 (20:45):
Movie stars, what movie stars are left in the world? Like,
who is a movie star like Tom Cruise? Besides like
maybe Brad Pitt, He's one of the last few movie stars.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah, Tyler Perry, I'll throw him in their own now.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Now, remember what Demi Moore said about never getting an oscar,
that she had a producer tell her that she was
a popcorn actress, right. I think that's how people view
Tom Cruise with the popcorn actor Yeah, kind of the movies,
and they don't really give him the legitimacy of being
oscar worthy.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Maybe that's possible, that's possible.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
Say this about another human being.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
But you are evil, That's right. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
People?
Speaker 5 (21:28):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
This feature, this portal show is being brought to you
by one I'm sorry, Advanced Here, one day dream and
life changing results. Make your appointment today at Advanced hair
dot com. A lot of people remember this story about
Valley Village. This is right off of Witsit and Riversside Drive,
very popular area of the north San Fernando Valley. There's
(21:56):
an apartment building you used to be an old hospital
on the north side of the street, their north side
of Riverside, right near just a little bit west of
Witsit and a very safe area, beautiful area. And some
guy broke in through a skylight and then jumped over
the balcony and killed another guy. And so the suspect
(22:17):
is now being prosecuted for this, and they have some
more information on it. But it was an unreal story
when it happened.
Speaker 10 (22:24):
Recent case in April, when a fifty three year old
man was attacked inside his apartment on Riverside Drive. There
was an arrest last month after police shared some security
video that they said showed the killer prowling the building,
and since then, detectives tell me a key piece of
evidence collected three years ago may now link this man
in custody to the two killings and also a third
(22:45):
attack in San Fernando.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Images from security video inside the apartment complex in Valley
Village show a man police say is twenty seven year
old Eric Eskamia, arrested last month and accused of the
April murder. Of fifty three year old old Manny Hidra,
who was stabbed to death inside his apartment in the
same building.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
The charges include this is not a cheap building if
the apartments go between three and five thousand dollars a month.
Speaker 10 (23:11):
The charges include murder, residential burglary, and the special circumstance
of murder during the course of a burglary.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
What we didn't know until now is that detectives have
also connected Eskimia, who has a history of burglary arrests,
to the August second, twenty twenty two murder of eighty
one year old oak Jah Kim, who was killed during
a break in at her home in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
This is Eric Leonard, who used to work here at
KFI does a great job for KNBC Channel four.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Here, prosecutors say.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
In court filings, Eskimia tried to set her and her
house on fire.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I can honestly say that in my entire career, I
don't think I've ever seen such a senseless and brutal
act of murder.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Law enforcement contacts tell us it was LAPD detective Sharon Kim,
seen here when the city announced a reward for information,
who collected a key piece of evidence in twenty twenty
two that helped connect the Oak Jaw Kim murder to
the arrest in the Valley Village case, and prosecutors have
also filed and attempted murder charge for the stabbing of
a man in San Fernando days after the Kim murder
(24:16):
that also happened during a burglary.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Wow, this guy's looking at decades the rest of his
life in prison for his mischief.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Making this guy well.
Speaker 10 (24:24):
Investigators haven't shared a lot of specifics about exactly what
kind of evidence connects these three cases, but they say
the relentless work of that detective you saw there, Sharon
Kim played a key role. Es Kamilla is being held
without bail. He is due back in court next week
to enter please to all of these charges. We didn't
hear back this afternoon from his public defender, Live in
the News from I'm investigative reporter Eric Leonard, NBC four
(24:46):
news man.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Something Else's guy, Something Else's guy. All Right.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
We wanted to get to this yesterday, but we had
so much news, so much breaking news. Razor blade throat.
This will be fun. This will be another thing going
around wiping everybody out.
Speaker 11 (24:58):
Really contageous new covid variant to spreading across the United States.
It's called NB one eight one, also known as nimbus.
The covid virus mutates or changes all the time. The
more it changes, the more different it is from the
original strain. When there is a major change, the variant
is given a new name. The new nimbus strain is
a variant of the omicron virus. The more the virus changes,
(25:19):
it becomes more infectious, but it usually causes a mild
case of the disease. The nimbus strain will present the
same way as previous strains, with fever, running nose, nausea,
and vomiting and in particular a razor blade throat.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
That's what that's the key here, the catch razor blade throat.
Speaker 11 (25:36):
And in particular a razor blade throat or an incredibly
painful and sore throat. Doctor Paulette Pine.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I think we picked that up when she said razor
blade throat.
Speaker 11 (25:46):
And in particular a razor blade throat.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Okay, that probably is very painful.
Speaker 11 (25:50):
I don't know if you have to add that or
an incredibly painful and sore throat.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Right, we picked that up with the razor blade.
Speaker 11 (25:56):
Doctor Paulette Pinargote is an expert and infectious disease.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
If patients are in unisuprisse, like patients with cancer or
patients who are on chemotherapy, of course, they are higher
risk of.
Speaker 9 (26:08):
Developing a severe form of the disease. But that's the
case with essentially any viral infection.
Speaker 11 (26:13):
And there are many strains of covid other than nimbus,
but most of them are similar enough to be covered
by the same anti virals like paxlovid and vaccines, with
a new vaccine coming out this fall. The best way
to prevent any viral inflect infection is to perform proper
hand hygiene, like washing your hands and using hand sanitizer.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
There you go, all right, something look forward to. All right,
Moe Kelly is coming up next. The big story here.

Lakers are being sold and the value is ten billion
