You told Vic that we were not. Vic has been. Uh Vic has

incoming that he took from so manydifferent callers over the last forty minutes.
I took a lot of incoming.Is he would have had his back.
Somebody called him mister coward. Whatyeah, they said, hey, mister

That's like the that's like the pizzaand my beer, the pitch our
beer, which is really good atShaky's. By the way, it's a
frog Man Friday, Yes, aFrogman Friday. We peruse these sea pastures.
(03:31):
We're friends with the frogmen, wide, rolling watery prairies, frogmen and
Potter's fields of all four continents.We love. Frogman Friday reminds us of
the ocean. It's tossing waves.It's for me, Brian, it's danger,
(03:53):
it's freedom. His mother loves it. Also reminds us of the Great
Show starring one Lloyd Bridges as anundersea mercenary Mike Nelson, the One and
Only show Sea Hunt. Well,I've heard that some of the biggest shark
(04:16):
in the world run off Porto Blanco. I want one Nelson. I also
want to get a giant squid.Any particular reason. Well, I've bagged
everything else in the world worth killing. Nextcept what's down there? Well,
can we talk business? It depends, yes, yes, it always does.
(04:39):
It always on the same thing.Money were killing things just for the
sport of it doesn't appeal to mevery much. Well, now, look,
I understand that you and Snyder youneed money to keep your research project
going. How much five thousand dollars. Well, that's considerably more than the
job is worth. However, itis a worthy cause. And text did
(05:00):
that to cook? That's right?Go all right, twenty five hundred.
Now the balance when I get myfirst shark? Do you all right?
It's a deal? I thought itwould be. That's right, gooram that's
right? Goa don McClay. Whatare you nuts? We got to get
that stuff to Florida? Do youknow what that's like? These days?
(05:27):
He's got the freaking Navy everywhere.You got frogmen, you got twos with
the satellite tracking stuff. You gotthe freaking bell two o nine assault choppers
up the ass. We are losingwhy out of every nine loads? No
duck walk anywhere can tell you?Forget about money? What do you suggest
(05:53):
that it is reasonable? Here's whatKate's has figured to do. He's got
a one minute timer. I triedto lobby for seventy to eighty seconds.
Yeah, I think ninety seconds isfine. I want to you want to
split the difference at eighty, Let'sdo eighty. Okay, an eighty second
timer for is because this is nota launch pad. We're gonna let Isabelle
(06:14):
have eighty seconds to have her takewhatever she wants to talk about. I
don't care. And unless you care, Matt, is there a topic to
you? I think we just needto let her know it's eighty seconds.
Copy. Well, she hears youget a little long winded, she hears
our words. So and Kate's isstarting a timer, yep, is He's
gonna go eighty seconds. Then we'regonna do the word number song. Then
we're gonna take a break, andwe're gonna talk to Dominklin. And then
(06:36):
we got Eric Musselman in the hourafter that, so we got a lot
going on. So here she islive from the group home. The great
Isabelle Ibarra, one of the greatlisteners in the history of great sports talk,
Great sports Talk. Hello Isabelle,Hey, I sadly we can be
(06:57):
with this today. So yeah,the only thing that might of the gas
out of the way that I agreewith David said about old Tony Dodgers that
the Dodgers Dodgers will be okay,you guys, So anyway, I'm not
that really worried about the Dodgers,so anyway, so but you had his
(07:18):
back, Yeah, and you knowwhat, I think I think them practic
should I think they should beyond theDan Patrick and they're slap to damn Patick
because he had that he had thatguy from the day gone done. Yeah,
(07:42):

anyway, so but yeah, butwe saying, how are you guys?
We're good? Twenty seconds left?Is he got good? Is he got
twenty seconds? What he got left? Lawyers? And that's about it.
That's about the Dodgers. They're okay, we love you, good stuff,
good stop. We have time tospend four seconds to spend. That's how
(08:07):
Clint Eastwood makes a movie. Hebrings it in on time and under budget
every single time. Damn it.That's how you thought. I thought that
went really well and she had Daveback. Listen, don't you attack our
billionaire corporate partner. Don't you dareattack our billionaire corner corporate They should have
put her on you would have hadsome support instead nothing one side of affair.
(08:31):
How dare you attack our partners,our wealthy friends? All right?
Hurt his words the word of theday. You know, Matt, I
saw this and maybe it's much adoabout nothing. Maybe, uh, I
don't know. It just reminded meof something in the annals of the show
that I'd like to remember. Wekind of forget it's a local knowledge,
(08:56):
common knowledge. It's local knowl He'svery knowledgeable on the things that you come
up with. This part for withyour knowledge. California Department of Transportation coltrans
Matt, the people behind your favoritefreeway, the five Civic failure. They
were going to close our own onethirty four that runs right by our studio
(09:16):
number one. They were going toclose it for fifty five hours this weekend,
And all I ever think about isTim Kate's on the roof of the
building waving his arms around like afool when a police chase came by the
one thirty four West time, Ithink of the one thirty four, I
just think the Kate's standing up thereon the room going over here as a
(09:37):
police chase just went flying by,almost like it was the wave at a
baseball stadium or something. They weregoing to close it this whole weekend,
but because of the cold and thebitter rain, the bitter spring rain this
weekend, the closure has been tentativelyrescheduled for April nineteenth. Be open lanes
(10:01):
for any police chases and all Armenianmovement throughout the greater Glendale area. Bro
to get to the the Cozy Corner, to get to Western Tire Norms,
to get to Norms, to getto the Ink Well, to get out
to the Americana Bro and the Kababi. So uh. The one thirty four
(10:22):
was going to close this weekend.It was gonna be Burdbank Karma Geddon Bro.
But instead it is wide open becauseof the rain. And all I
thought about was Tim Kats on theroof waving around his arms to chase the
red Pie interior. I felt likeit was gonna be a good idea.
Then it didn't pan out. Itjust seem it wasn't a good idea.
It was a great a weird reactionwas what it was. Here's my number
(10:46):
number of the day, number ofthe days follow up you. You started
it yesterday with our cruising performer ofrecord Jane McDonald McDonald Waves. That was
her second autobiography, Riding the Waves, Tip of the Cap, Cruising Christmas,
(11:07):
Tip of the Cap to PMS Deadand Alive for sending me this story
that leaked today. It is makingthe rounds on all of the cruise ship
fan pages, cruise ship news outlets, Disney cruise ships, creepy costume protocols
are guaranteed. Nightmare fuel is theheadline. Apparently this memo, well not
(11:31):
apparently. This memo leaked today andit is everywhere on the internet now,
and I will simply read it verbatim. Okay. As one of the most
tightly controlled brands on the planet,Disney has some very strict protocols aboard their
cruises, especially regarding emergency evacuations.For instance, if a Disney cruise is
(11:52):
to be abandoned, any employee whois in costume at the time of the
alarm sounding must stay in costume.They are not permitted to remove their heads
and ruin the illusion for guests,so therefore have to navigate the deck dressed
as a giant Mickey, Minnie,chip Dale, etc. Elsewhere on the
(12:13):
ship, it is somebody's job tohead to the costume store and firmly lock
it up. This is to ensureif the ship does go down, the
costumes go down with it. Theydo not want to risk the empty costumes
getting loose and floating to the top, leaving children traumatized by seeing Goofy's lifeless
body bobbing about on the surface.What's wrong with people? Oh, it's
(12:41):
too good. It is too good. You know you sign up for me.
If you are going to be amascot on a Disney cruise and get
your balls punched for a week ata time, you'd better believe that you
were going to follow protocols that basicallysay you're not leaving. You're going down
to hell with a captain. Themascots are going down with the ship,
(13:05):
and they're gonna play a few wishupon a Star one oh the string quartet.
Yes, but do you then takeDisney to your head off and smoke
a cigarette as you sink to thebottom of the ocean. If you Disney,
you know, I know that there'speople Matt that like the the the
woman who does the engineering for theTwo Pros and a Cup of Joe show
(13:26):
is in like that weird Disneyland cluband carries the special purse around and all
that ninety four or whatever it is. Yeah, Wow, that's it's exactly
How is she in that? Wait, just because she's a board op,
she can't have it? I thinkme like that. But just like it's
usually corporations now, and it's likeit's a legacy thing. You have to
(13:48):
have family. Maybe her dad,you know, covered up a Robert Roger
rabbit rape or something back in theday in Tunetoun, Who knows. I
don't know. But you know whatI'm trying to say is there's Disney weirdos.
You know, yes, there areplenty. How bad do you want
to work for Disney? Where youget a memo like that and you're just
like, yeah, yeah, I'min still in right, still, Yeah,
(14:13):
you can't take the head off.You're gonna have to navigate thousands of
screening people who have their children intoe and likely will step on your head
in order to save their kids.Just fire me, and then you're gonna
do it with a giant felt headupon your shoulders. Yeah. I don't.
I don't really want to be thatmuch involved anymore. As Sebastian the
Crab, if I'm gonna die aterrible death and trampling death, I would
(14:37):
say, I'm gonna roll the dice. I'm gonna I'm gonna roll the dice
and say, you know, ifthey fire me for this, so be
it. But I'm gonna go aheadand get out of the felt costume and
save my life. I mean,but that's just me. Yeah, it's
It's not an easy decision for someof these people who have a lifetime of
dedication toward playing weird of furry rolesin their outfits in a very sexual way.
(14:58):
Pour one out for sugar tease.I'm Matt Sugar. These h sugar
thieves. Your tea's are so sweetyour week like sugar your week. You're
a coward, Dave. Oh,I'll just tell you a way the world
works. If you want to stickyou in it, then don it.
But deadlie it doesn't, then you'rethe idiot. Wake up. Thank you
(15:22):
everybody. Coming up next is DonMcClain, the BFF of the show.
We got a lot of great sportstalk coming up, great sports talk,
and we still have Clippers v.Jazz Adam Austin with the pregame at six
thirty. Tip off at seven pointthirty. Dodgers come up short in the
(15:43):
opener of the three game series againstthe Cubs. We will have Dodgers on
deck tomorrow at noon with the firstpitch at one o'clock. Joining us right
now though, on the so CalToyota Dealers celebrity hotline starting his workouts today
for the draft, the initial groupwith CAA Bally Sports with the Clippers,
(16:03):
and the Pac twelve network, whichis gone, but we're we're still in
the basketball season, so we're stillin the tournament. So the great Don
McClain joins us on the Patterson MoneyShow, the baron of Box Canyon,
the leading scorer in the history ofUCLA, and our b F half.
Hello, DoD how are you.I thought about you guys yesterday when they
(16:26):
announced the hiring of Eric Musselman atUSC because of how much you guys enjoy
the press conferences of Mick cron andas do I, and they are epic
for the most part. Eric Musselmanis going to be right there with him
on the press conferences, just soyou know. Oh yeah, he's going
to join us in the next hour. Yeah, EMUs is one of my
favorite basketball guys on the planet.Wow. So this is a good hire
(16:49):
for SC good for Southern California,you think, no doubt. And I
think that because he's been around forso long and in you know, understands
the landscape of it now, havingbeen in different conferences, has NBA experience,
I think he's going to be Ithought he was a really good hire
for USC. How'd they get him? Don I mean, the guy had
a good I know it was arough year this year, but my gosh,
(17:11):
I mean, you're in the SEC, you're competing with Kentucky and you
know, and so how did heget away? A lot of times mad?
And everyone's different and when you getup in years and I have had
this conversation with different coaches. Ihaven't with Eric, but sometimes priorities change
and things matter more than others.And it's not purely about basketball and winning
(17:33):
and conferences. It could be,you know, way of life and where
you live. And maybe he neverreally loved Arkansas. I don't know,
but my guess is that probably playedinto it. I don't know what his
compensation was at Arkansas, but I'msure USC gave him more. That's usually
the reason why coaches leave is forbetter opportunity and more money. But you
(17:55):
know, I look the challenge oftaking USC into a new conference I think
is part of that too, inthat in that challenge that it's going to
be so I don't know, youguys will ask them, but I have
a feeling it had to do witha few of those things. I said,
well, we know, Brownie's kindof in a basketball gray area now
(18:15):
in the portal and in the draft, and Kobe Johnson just jumped over to
UCLA. How different is is scgoing to look? Obviously, Collier is
going to be drafted, and thenUCLA just had a couple of their euro
guys jump out v Day and peopleare leaving there. McClellan, So what
(18:36):
is it about these rosters that willbe anywhere similar next year? Yeah,
Pete, you know this from football. It's just a state of affairs in
college basketball. This isn't unique toUSC or UCLA. This is just college
basketball. There's everyone's in the portal, and everyone's in the portal to see
what kind of nil money they canget somewhere else. Some people are in
the portal looking for a better opportunitymore minutes. Everyone's different. But this
(19:00):
isn't a UCLA u USC thing.This is just college basketball in twenty twenty
four. He said, he's justkind of gaining into the process. Wants
to see what the response is,obviously, and it doesn't have to hire
an agent. I have a prettygood feeling we know which agency Brownie would
hire if in fact, I'm goingto do that. I hate today.
(19:21):
I don't think. I don't thinkyou got a shot to work him out
getting him ready for the new tobe great if you did, because he
needs help shooting. But what youknow if he comes to you and says,
what would love your honest evaluation?What do you think and what do
you suppose? Suspect most people aregoing to say to him about this?
Well, here's the thing, Matt, and we've talked about this. The
hype train behind Bronnie has always beenreally fast. And you know, right
(19:44):
or wrong or whether or not youknow, whatever people thought of him,
right or wrong, doesn't matter.I think Bronnie James knows who he is
as a player. And I've saidthis for years. I encourage everyone to
test the draft. Waters why not? You can always go back to school.
See what real NBA p people haveto say about you, not media
people, not bloggers, not guyswho do mock drafts. Find out what
(20:07):
real NBA personnel people think of youas a player, and then take that
feedback and either jump into the draftor stay in the draft, or take
what they've given you and go backto school and get to work on it,
and so I think that's my guessis that's what Bronni is doing,
is just trying to find out wherehe stands with the legitimate people and all
this, and then he'll go backto school and work on those things and
(20:29):
eventually, you know, go keephis name in the draft. And one
of the things that I can't quiteunderstand don and maybe we'll dig into it
a little bit later here in theshow is the whole and we actually have
some sound that we'll play from it. He's going to be a better pro
than a college player. He's builtto be a I don't quite understand that.
If that's the case, then goplay for G League at night and
(20:51):
try to run it there. ButI don't know how guys that are bigger,
faster, stronger, shoot better somehowfit his gain. Can you kind
of if that is in fact thecase, if there is some sense to
those statements, what do they meanby that? They mean? What they
mean by that is that college ismore of a system, more of a
system based offense, more of asystem a way of doing things, and
(21:11):
they just plug you into wherever theythink you fit in the system, whereas
the NBA is more read and reactbasketball like you understanding, make the right
play, make good decisions on yourown. It's more free flowing. It's
less restrictive as college. So that'swhy they say that. But the hard
part is saying, oh, he'sgoing to be a better NBA player just
(21:32):
because of that. We don't knowthat. I mean, you can say
that, but you don't know that. And and to me, at the
end of the day, for anyplayer, as I get going here with
these guys, I have in already, at the end of the day,
if you can't shoot, you can'tplay in the league. And so he
has to prove, no matter whenhe goes into the draft or pulls out
caught, whatever, he has toprove that he can consistently knock down a
(21:56):
three point shot. And if hecan do that with all the others stuff
that he has, which is reallygood stuff, the IQ and the defense
and all that, then yeah,he is an NBA player and maybe he
will be a better pro because ofthat. But it starts and ends with
consistent perimeter shooting. Have you enjoyedthe NCAA Men's Tournament. Don you think
Yukon's gonna beat everybody or what Yeah, Yeah, Yukon, it's similar to
(22:22):
it's similar to a pro team inthe sense that I'm not saying they would
beat NBA teams. That conversation wasgoing around last week. They got no
chance of beating an NBA team,But they're similar to a pro team in
that they can turn it on andyou could just sense that once the end.
You know, they had a goodyear. How many games they lose
third or four or five, somethinglike that, but you could just tell
that they hit another gear once theNCAA tournament started, and I would be
(22:47):
really shocked if anybody beats him herethis weekend. Yeah, I think they've
lost a game since like mid January. They just kind of flip that switch
and have been an absolute buzz saw. Since maybe we get lucky and it's
Purdue versus Yukon and the five,I only get kind of the superstar power
of Zach Edy on the other side. Don I don't know what you know
if that's already been declared to whathe's going to do when he when he
makes his decision to head to theNBA agency wise, But if you had
(23:11):
love hearing you talk about like whatBronni needs to do, if you got
Zach Edy, what would you wantto work on with him to make his
prospects as good as possible for playingat the next level. Well, I
would like to and it seems likehe's got a pretty good touch down there.
I haven't watched a ton of him, but I watched two games in
this tournament and they, you know, look, he's seven to four and
nobody else is seven four, solet's stick him right in the paint and
(23:32):
make them react to him. Butwhen he does get single coverage, he
has nice touch. What I wouldlike to see is him step out even
more, and they actually, youknow what, Matt, that's a good
example of what I was talking aboutwith Browning, because he's seven to four
and nobody can deal with him,nobody, you know, Matt Paynter,
and the staff hasn't encouraged him tostep out more or get behind the college
line and shoot threes, which wouldhelp him at the NBA level, because
(23:56):
in their system, our seven tofour guy plants in the paint and no
one can stop them. And sothat to me, for eating next the
next step for him would be steppingout, getting in ball screens high and
not just rolling to the rim,but picking and popping, picking and gett
into space and being able to makethat shot. I'd be interested to see
(24:17):
if I went to a like aPurdue practice, if he shot college threes,
would he make him I have afeeling he might. He might be
a better shooter than he's shown incollege. They just haven't asked him to
do that, because why would they, Because no one can stop him in
the paint. We've been watching himplay for a while. Don McClain joining
us right now. We've seen thesewomen play for a while, and I
(24:37):
guess that's why the storyline is sostrong this year with the women's tournament,
Donna, have you been watching itat all? And how unique is Caitlin
Clark For somebody that's just watched afew games, it's hard to take your
eyes off her when she's playing agame. She's a lot of fun to
watch, she is. And Iwatched that ioa LSU game, and the
thing that sets her apart is herability to make su on the move off
(25:00):
the bounce, which is you know, I haven't watched a ton of women's
basketball, but a lot of thatwhat I was saying earlier, system moving
passing, getting to a spot andmaking an open shot. Well, she's
a little different in the sense thatshe'll come off a high ball screen behind
the college line and shoot threes offthe dribble. You just don't see that
with the women's game that much.And not only that, she makes them.
(25:21):
So she takes tough shots, butmakes tough shots, which sets her
apart from any other women's player I'veseen at the college level in a while.
Speaking of taking tough shots and makingthem, the joker always seems to
come up huge in those moments.A little bit short last night. I'm
sure when he pulled up you werethinking, oh, no, one point
lost Eric Commins from thirty feet out, but it didn't go down. A
(25:42):
huge win for the Clips over theNuggets. Just kind of your thoughts about,
you know, how they're playing theknee soreness. You know, it
seems like the Lakers and Clippers areon two different trajectories here going into the
postseason and trying to get this thingright when the tournament starts. Yeah,
first of all, that was areally high level game line last night,
and I was actually really encouraged lastnight with the Clippers for a couple of
(26:03):
reasons. He they won that gamewithout Kawhi, but be you saw last
night and Denver's still the favorite inthe West, but you saw how much
better the Clippers bench is than Denver'sbench, at least right now with Murray
out. And so that when Iwhen I was watching last night, I
was thinking about a seven game seriesand things happening, foul trouble, hopefully
not injuries. But if you're thedeepest team in the league, which a
(26:26):
lot of people think the Clippers are, it may come down to that.
And it came to me it camedown to last night because it looked like
Denver was going to blow them out, and in comes a second unit in
the second quarter and spun that gamecompletely around. So I think the Clippers,
look they want to hold onto thatfour spot. They're in control of
their own destiny. They only gotto win I think three or four more
and they'll have it, and thenwe don't know when Kawhi is coming back,
(26:48):
but I'm sure part of this isgetting him healthy and rested for the
playoffs as well. So I thinkthe Clippers are in a good spot and
they just need to finish this regularseason the right way, get that home
court in the first round and seewhat happens. What about the other one?
Don The Lakers are playing as goodat basketball as anyone right now.
They've won eight to nine. Ithink they're second in offensive efficiency, and
(27:11):
it looks like it when you watchthem play. It just seems like that
offense with this starting lineup finally gettingsettled is really humm And how how big
of a deal is it for themto maybe get up to that even six
spot is sort of within reach.They're a game and a half back now,
we got five left. But howbig of a deal is positioning for
them now? Well, think aboutit. If you're in the nine to
ten game, you got to wintwo games to get into the playoffs.
(27:32):
If you're in the seven eight game, you got to win at least one,
and so that would be two extragames for the Lakers if they don't
get up to the seven or eight. But if they get to the six,
you're just in the playoffs and youdon't have any win or go home
type games just to get in.So I think it's really important. They
did it last year, but Idon't think you can keep going back to
that because, like I said,things happen but they are playing really well.
(27:55):
And I'm pretty sure the teams inthat one two spot are saying to
themselves, oh no, if weget the Lakers in the first round,
if they keep playing the way they'vebeen playing, the one and only Don
McLain nobody better. He's on ballySports tonight for the Clipper game. Always
great knowledge and he's all business thistime of year when the draft workouts begin.
(28:18):
He spends the morning cussing out twentytwo year olds, and then he
spends the afternoon eating cheese it's andchopping it up about basketball. Thank you,
Don You got me in a nutshell. Pye, I'm that simple,
guessing kids out in the morning,cheeses at night. There we go.
It works. Hey, I mean, I tell you what I did,
but all that does is involved touchingmyself like a monkey. We love you
(28:42):
though you cheese it simplicity. That'sthe key to life. Cussing out young
people at eating cheese its. Imean, look, you gotta look forward
to something every day, right,Spread yourself out, cut somebody out.
You're the biggest guard to God,damn floor. Spread yourself out, damn
it and play deferats secret textoso comingup next. Thank you for listening.
(29:03):
Everybody. Eric Musselman still to comeptro some money. AM five seventy eight
sports were alive everywhere on the iHeartRadioapp making our way until six thirty.
Yes, we got on late atfour. We get off at six thirty
for Clippers basketball. Clippers versus Jazzcoming up at seven thirty pm. And
(29:25):
I don't know if you go tothe iHeartRadio app if Dodger Talk is still
going on, perhaps it is asfar as the AM five seventy am band
Feedlet you know me, so yougot us still six thirty and then Clippers
basketball. I gotta say, Matt, it is Uh. It was a
(29:45):
wild day on Dodger Talk. Didnot expect that in the handoff. But
you know, everybody relates with onething, sugar and breast and tease.
Yeah, I mean you know thosetwo things. You put those things together
and you take advantage of I'm aperson that's got sugary breasts. People are
gonna get angry if it's salty teas. Nobody's defended salty teas. Well,
(30:07):
You're not going to catch a lotof flies with salt, but sugar teas.
Let's go all right, Matt,I have a few textosos secret text
dosa line brought to you by yourSokel Toyota dealers. We make it easy,
so textosos basically just show up onmy phone and part of the content
of the show, no doubt aboutthat. A great source of chagrin and
(30:30):
inspiration for me, mostly chagrin.It's been a rough week hearing Ronnie tell
Vic to shut up and fix thatass. I mean, yeah, it
was hard. It was hard yesterdaywhen Ronnie stomped Vic out. It really
was. Another text says this,whoa, I haven't heard Ronnie fade Vic
(30:56):
or anybody out in a minute.I believe he's never faded Vicy out.
The whole thing, the big contract. Why are we doing that? The
whole thing? But yeah, youknow what I can. Yeah, there
you go. Run. I'm tiredof it. And there's been talk of
(31:30):
a Vic boycott today. We didnot have him on. People wanted to
launch pad. It didn't happen.Isabelle was slided a lot of anger on
Dodger Talk. I just didn't thinkit was appropriate. Well, just the
baton, you know, instead ofbeing handed to us, it was thrown
at our head. So to secureit and continue to run with the current
topic. You guys are disqualified.That's okay, that's cool. We'll take
(31:52):
it all right. We'll just we'regonna walk out of here, hop the
click chingling flints. We're just gonnago, hey, mister cow, that's
me. Hello. He OMG.I find we have Eric Musselman on in
the very next segment. This comesfrom Fayetteville. I finally feel qualified to
(32:14):
reports on something for the Petros andMoney Show. I did my undergrad at
the University of Arkansas and got myMBA at USC. I can say with
great convention of conviction that Arkansas lovesbasketball. We just sucked and suck.
No one on earth has more unearnedloftier expectations for their sports programs at Arkansas.
(32:35):
And I can say this as afan. Not since Bobby Petrino did
that red face press conference in aneck brace has Fayetteville felt more down in
the dumbs. That is that issad, sad to hear, you know,
because we're gonna have exuberant, happy, excited for the future back in
southern California, away from the oppressivehumidity and heat of the South and the
(33:00):
lost causers, and now you're backhere in southern California. He's so happy.
But there is a flip side ofthat coin, Matt, those that
are left behind, it's a manin a neck brace with a red face.
That's the other side of that coin. Who was saying his assistant,
you know, Matt, you don'tlie. I mean when you when you
(33:20):
get left, it's tough. Oncewe had a coach at Tennessee, half
snake, the other half wrecked.Pile up the wood and burn his effigy.
We can dream about that, wishthat we could kick Lane Kiffin all
through the Tennessee Hills. A lionthieve and no count weasel, not worth
(33:44):
the bullet to kill Tiffin's, butwill never be safe in Tennessee. Kiffin
better hide out at youssen are fromDanny away from very very impactful texto.
(34:10):
So I think just letting us knowthat there is a sad part appreciated.
Yeah, there's no secret, Afine brought to you by your so called
Toyota dealers. We make it easy. Kate has to chill. The ad
bots that listen to me are pickingup on the podcast, and I think
they think I'm a freaking seed addict. This guy's got commercials for a smack
(34:32):
in Seeds Jersey, a bucket ofsmack, smacking seeds, all kinds of
smacking seeds stuff. The seed revolutionon the Petrosen Money Show, I would
say is about a month old.Ever since the beginning of spring training mat
we're about But then Kate shared thesmacking story with us, I would say
that's fair. Three weeks to amonth ago is when he really, you
(34:54):
know, stuck his seed neck out. And I think we're part responsible.
We told him that he should engagewith smacking, that maybe he could be
an influencer. Did it worked,Yeah, look at somebody else just sent
me our first box. Had totry him. It's a guy with a
box of smacking seeds like Kate's.You're getting nothing out of this, no,
(35:15):
and they're getting everything. They're reapingall the benefit. Good for the
two guys who started the company incollege in Minnesota. By the way,
I went to dinner with my parentslast night for my birthday because it is
birthday a week for Tim Kates,and my dad was like, seriously,
what's going on with these sunflower seeds? Like is this a problem? I'm
like, no, no, no, that's not a problem. It sounds
like a problem. You packed yourcheek with seeds as I was talking to
(35:36):
the table. I can't understand youget the seats out of your mouth,
and that your face now looks likean old baseball mitt and the inside of
your mouth looks like an old WorldWar two airplane. Hangar, Well,
we've had a wonderful show thus far, a shorter show than we thought we
would have, only about two anda half hours today, but uh Don

(01:10):
that is uh that's still there.We got a lot to get to.
You told Vic that we were not. Vic has been. Uh Vic has
been. Uh. Vic's out forthe week. That's what I mean.
Though you sent him away, hewould have joined us. I don't think
it's I think telling Vic that we'renot going to do it. Well,
I'm just saying we have a verybusy show. We got Don mcleaguen.
(01:30):
Next, you got Eric Musselman,the new head coach at USC big Get,
and we came on later than wethought, an hour later we thought
because of the long, windy gameat Dodger Stadium where they're pitching blew It,
blue It. And then David Vassegets in a fight with the fans
over practices, over memorabilia. Andwe got Leavabelle. Isabelle sitting out there
(01:56):
with a producer, Tim Kates.I'll leave it to heat. He produces
the show. We've got two anda half hours. He's the one that'll
have to punch her up. Well. He said, do you want Isabelle?
And I said, you know,when you bring a like a like,
let's say Shakey's. You know,we enjoy Shaky's pizza there, Shaky's
Mojo's chicken. Hey, they bringthe mojos to the table, Shaky's dot
com order right now when you're sharing, you know, family style at the
(02:17):
table with your beautiful family, andthey bring those mojos to the table.
The lady at Shakey's wearing her strawhat or whatever, doesn't say, Hey,
you're gonna take eat these mojos rightnow. You want these mojos.
You want these mojos, You're gonnaeat mem gonna eat them, you gonna
eat them. I might eat them, leave them there, we'll see.
And that's how I feel about Isabelleright now. On hold. We might
(02:38):
we might need her, but Ithink she's good where she is right now.
I think it's a shame that Davedidn't take the call, considering the
incoming that he took from so manydifferent callers over the last forty minutes.
I took a lot of incoming.Is he would have had his back.
Somebody called him mister coward. Whatyeah, they said, hey, mister
coward. That's not cool. No, no, it's not cool. I
(03:02):
was just trying to do a postkitchen and somebody called me a goode not
okay, Hey, we can alldo better. So if I is,
he's the mojo is like the numberword song saying hi to Ronnie. Everything.
That's like the that's like the pizzaand my beer, the pitch our
beer, which is really good atShaky's. By the way, it's a
frog Man Friday, Yes, aFrogman Friday. We peruse these sea pastures.
(03:31):
We're friends with the frogmen, wide, rolling watery prairies, frogmen and
Potter's fields of all four continents.We love. Frogman Friday reminds us of
the ocean. It's tossing waves.It's for me, Brian, it's danger,
(03:53):
it's freedom. His mother loves it. Also reminds us of the Great
Show starring one Lloyd Bridges as anundersea mercenary Mike Nelson, the One and
Only show Sea Hunt. Well,I've heard that some of the biggest shark
(04:16):
in the world run off Porto Blanco. I want one Nelson. I also
want to get a giant squid.Any particular reason. Well, I've bagged
everything else in the world worth killing. Nextcept what's down there? Well,
can we talk business? It depends, yes, yes, it always does.
(04:39):
It always on the same thing.Money were killing things just for the
sport of it doesn't appeal to mevery much. Well, now, look,
I understand that you and Snyder youneed money to keep your research project
going. How much five thousand dollars. Well, that's considerably more than the
job is worth. However, itis a worthy cause. And text did
(05:00):
that to cook? That's right?Go all right, twenty five hundred.
Now the balance when I get myfirst shark? Do you all right?
It's a deal? I thought itwould be. That's right, gooram that's
right? Goa don McClay. Whatare you nuts? We got to get
that stuff to Florida? Do youknow what that's like? These days?
(05:27):
He's got the freaking Navy everywhere.You got frogmen, you got twos with
the satellite tracking stuff. You gotthe freaking bell two o nine assault choppers
up the ass. We are losingwhy out of every nine loads? No
duck walk anywhere can tell you?Forget about money? What do you suggest
(05:53):
that it is reasonable? Here's whatKate's has figured to do. He's got
a one minute timer. I triedto lobby for seventy to eighty seconds.
Yeah, I think ninety seconds isfine. I want to you want to
split the difference at eighty, Let'sdo eighty. Okay, an eighty second
timer for is because this is nota launch pad. We're gonna let Isabelle
(06:14):
have eighty seconds to have her takewhatever she wants to talk about. I
don't care. And unless you care, Matt, is there a topic to
you? I think we just needto let her know it's eighty seconds.
Copy. Well, she hears youget a little long winded, she hears
our words. So and Kate's isstarting a timer, yep, is He's
gonna go eighty seconds. Then we'regonna do the word number song. Then
we're gonna take a break, andwe're gonna talk to Dominklin. And then
(06:36):
we got Eric Musselman in the hourafter that, so we got a lot
going on. So here she islive from the group home. The great
Isabelle Ibarra, one of the greatlisteners in the history of great sports talk,
Great sports Talk. Hello Isabelle,Hey, I sadly we can be
(06:57):
with this today. So yeah,the only thing that might of the gas
out of the way that I agreewith David said about old Tony Dodgers that
the Dodgers Dodgers will be okay,you guys, So anyway, I'm not
that really worried about the Dodgers,so anyway, so but you had his
(07:18):
back, Yeah, and you knowwhat, I think I think them practic
should I think they should beyond theDan Patrick and they're slap to damn Patick

twenty seconds? What he got left? Lawyers? And that's about it.
That's about the Dodgers. They're okay, we love you, good stuff,
good stop. We have time tospend four seconds to spend. That's how
(08:07):
Clint Eastwood makes a movie. Hebrings it in on time and under budget
every single time. Damn it.That's how you thought. I thought that
went really well and she had Daveback. Listen, don't you attack our
billionaire corporate partner. Don't you dareattack our billionaire corner corporate They should have
put her on you would have hadsome support instead nothing one side of affair.
(08:31):
How dare you attack our partners,our wealthy friends? All right?
Hurt his words the word of theday. You know, Matt, I
saw this and maybe it's much adoabout nothing. Maybe, uh, I
don't know. It just reminded meof something in the annals of the show
that I'd like to remember. Wekind of forget it's a local knowledge,
(08:56):
common knowledge. It's local knowl He'svery knowledgeable on the things that you come
up with. This part for withyour knowledge. California Department of Transportation coltrans
Matt, the people behind your favoritefreeway, the five Civic failure. They
were going to close our own onethirty four that runs right by our studio
(09:16):
number one. They were going toclose it for fifty five hours this weekend,
And all I ever think about isTim Kate's on the roof of the
building waving his arms around like afool when a police chase came by the
one thirty four West time, Ithink of the one thirty four, I
just think the Kate's standing up thereon the room going over here as a
(09:37):
police chase just went flying by,almost like it was the wave at a
baseball stadium or something. They weregoing to close it this whole weekend,
but because of the cold and thebitter rain, the bitter spring rain this
weekend, the closure has been tentativelyrescheduled for April nineteenth. Be open lanes
(10:01):
for any police chases and all Armenianmovement throughout the greater Glendale area. Bro
to get to the the Cozy Corner, to get to Western Tire Norms,
to get to Norms, to getto the Ink Well, to get out
to the Americana Bro and the Kababi. So uh. The one thirty four
(10:22):
was going to close this weekend.It was gonna be Burdbank Karma Geddon Bro.
But instead it is wide open becauseof the rain. And all I
thought about was Tim Kats on theroof waving around his arms to chase the
red Pie interior. I felt likeit was gonna be a good idea.
Then it didn't pan out. Itjust seem it wasn't a good idea.
It was a great a weird reactionwas what it was. Here's my number
(10:46):
number of the day, number ofthe days follow up you. You started
it yesterday with our cruising performer ofrecord Jane McDonald McDonald Waves. That was
her second autobiography, Riding the Waves, Tip of the Cap, Cruising Christmas,
(11:07):
Tip of the Cap to PMS Deadand Alive for sending me this story
that leaked today. It is makingthe rounds on all of the cruise ship
fan pages, cruise ship news outlets, Disney cruise ships, creepy costume protocols
are guaranteed. Nightmare fuel is theheadline. Apparently this memo, well not
(11:31):
apparently. This memo leaked today andit is everywhere on the internet now,
and I will simply read it verbatim. Okay. As one of the most
tightly controlled brands on the planet,Disney has some very strict protocols aboard their
cruises, especially regarding emergency evacuations.For instance, if a Disney cruise is
(11:52):
to be abandoned, any employee whois in costume at the time of the
alarm sounding must stay in costume.They are not permitted to remove their heads
and ruin the illusion for guests,so therefore have to navigate the deck dressed
as a giant Mickey, Minnie,chip Dale, etc. Elsewhere on the
(12:13):
ship, it is somebody's job tohead to the costume store and firmly lock
it up. This is to ensureif the ship does go down, the
costumes go down with it. Theydo not want to risk the empty costumes
getting loose and floating to the top, leaving children traumatized by seeing Goofy's lifeless
body bobbing about on the surface.What's wrong with people? Oh, it's
(12:41):
too good. It is too good. You know you sign up for me.
If you are going to be amascot on a Disney cruise and get
your balls punched for a week ata time, you'd better believe that you
were going to follow protocols that basicallysay you're not leaving. You're going down
to hell with a captain. Themascots are going down with the ship,
(13:05):
and they're gonna play a few wishupon a Star one oh the string quartet.
Yes, but do you then takeDisney to your head off and smoke
a cigarette as you sink to thebottom of the ocean. If you Disney,
you know, I know that there'speople Matt that like the the the
woman who does the engineering for theTwo Pros and a Cup of Joe show
(13:26):
is in like that weird Disneyland cluband carries the special purse around and all
that ninety four or whatever it is. Yeah, Wow, that's it's exactly
How is she in that? Wait, just because she's a board op,
she can't have it? I thinkme like that. But just like it's
usually corporations now, and it's likeit's a legacy thing. You have to
(13:48):
have family. Maybe her dad,you know, covered up a Robert Roger
rabbit rape or something back in theday in Tunetoun, Who knows. I
don't know. But you know whatI'm trying to say is there's Disney weirdos.
You know, yes, there areplenty. How bad do you want
to work for Disney? Where youget a memo like that and you're just
like, yeah, yeah, I'min still in right, still, Yeah,
(14:13):
you can't take the head off.You're gonna have to navigate thousands of
screening people who have their children intoe and likely will step on your head
in order to save their kids.Just fire me, and then you're gonna
do it with a giant felt headupon your shoulders. Yeah. I don't.
I don't really want to be thatmuch involved anymore. As Sebastian the
Crab, if I'm gonna die aterrible death and trampling death, I would
(14:37):
say, I'm gonna roll the dice. I'm gonna I'm gonna roll the dice
and say, you know, ifthey fire me for this, so be
it. But I'm gonna go aheadand get out of the felt costume and
save my life. I mean,but that's just me. Yeah, it's
It's not an easy decision for someof these people who have a lifetime of
dedication toward playing weird of furry rolesin their outfits in a very sexual way.
(14:58):
Pour one out for sugar tease.I'm Matt Sugar. These h sugar
thieves. Your tea's are so sweetyour week like sugar your week. You're
a coward, Dave. Oh,I'll just tell you a way the world
works. If you want to stickyou in it, then don it.
But deadlie it doesn't, then you'rethe idiot. Wake up. Thank you
(15:22):
everybody. Coming up next is DonMcClain, the BFF of the show.
We got a lot of great sportstalk coming up, great sports talk,
and we still have Clippers v.Jazz Adam Austin with the pregame at six
thirty. Tip off at seven pointthirty. Dodgers come up short in the
(15:43):
opener of the three game series againstthe Cubs. We will have Dodgers on
deck tomorrow at noon with the firstpitch at one o'clock. Joining us right
now though, on the so CalToyota Dealers celebrity hotline starting his workouts today
for the draft, the initial groupwith CAA Bally Sports with the Clippers,
(16:03):
and the Pac twelve network, whichis gone, but we're we're still in
the basketball season, so we're stillin the tournament. So the great Don
McClain joins us on the Patterson MoneyShow, the baron of Box Canyon,
the leading scorer in the history ofUCLA, and our b F half.
Hello, DoD how are you.I thought about you guys yesterday when they
(16:26):
announced the hiring of Eric Musselman atUSC because of how much you guys enjoy
the press conferences of Mick cron andas do I, and they are epic
for the most part. Eric Musselmanis going to be right there with him
on the press conferences, just soyou know. Oh yeah, he's going
to join us in the next hour. Yeah, EMUs is one of my
favorite basketball guys on the planet.Wow. So this is a good hire
(16:49):
for SC good for Southern California,you think, no doubt. And I
think that because he's been around forso long and in you know, understands
the landscape of it now, havingbeen in different conferences, has NBA experience,
I think he's going to be Ithought he was a really good hire
for USC. How'd they get him? Don I mean, the guy had
a good I know it was arough year this year, but my gosh,
(17:11):
I mean, you're in the SEC, you're competing with Kentucky and you
know, and so how did heget away? A lot of times mad?
And everyone's different and when you getup in years and I have had
this conversation with different coaches. Ihaven't with Eric, but sometimes priorities change
and things matter more than others.And it's not purely about basketball and winning
(17:33):
and conferences. It could be,you know, way of life and where
you live. And maybe he neverreally loved Arkansas. I don't know,
but my guess is that probably playedinto it. I don't know what his
compensation was at Arkansas, but I'msure USC gave him more. That's usually
the reason why coaches leave is forbetter opportunity and more money. But you
(17:55):
know, I look the challenge oftaking USC into a new conference I think
is part of that too, inthat in that challenge that it's going to
be so I don't know, youguys will ask them, but I have
a feeling it had to do witha few of those things. I said,
well, we know, Brownie's kindof in a basketball gray area now
(18:15):
in the portal and in the draft, and Kobe Johnson just jumped over to
UCLA. How different is is scgoing to look? Obviously, Collier is
going to be drafted, and thenUCLA just had a couple of their euro
guys jump out v Day and peopleare leaving there. McClellan, So what
(18:36):
is it about these rosters that willbe anywhere similar next year? Yeah,
Pete, you know this from football. It's just a state of affairs in
college basketball. This isn't unique toUSC or UCLA. This is just college
basketball. There's everyone's in the portal, and everyone's in the portal to see
what kind of nil money they canget somewhere else. Some people are in
the portal looking for a better opportunitymore minutes. Everyone's different. But this
(19:00):
isn't a UCLA u USC thing.This is just college basketball in twenty twenty
four. He said, he's justkind of gaining into the process. Wants
to see what the response is,obviously, and it doesn't have to hire
an agent. I have a prettygood feeling we know which agency Brownie would
hire if in fact, I'm goingto do that. I hate today.
(19:21):
I don't think. I don't thinkyou got a shot to work him out
getting him ready for the new tobe great if you did, because he
needs help shooting. But what youknow if he comes to you and says,
what would love your honest evaluation?What do you think and what do
you suppose? Suspect most people aregoing to say to him about this?
Well, here's the thing, Matt, and we've talked about this. The
hype train behind Bronnie has always beenreally fast. And you know, right
(19:44):
or wrong or whether or not youknow, whatever people thought of him,
right or wrong, doesn't matter.I think Bronnie James knows who he is
as a player. And I've saidthis for years. I encourage everyone to
test the draft. Waters why not? You can always go back to school.
See what real NBA p people haveto say about you, not media
people, not bloggers, not guyswho do mock drafts. Find out what
(20:07):
real NBA personnel people think of youas a player, and then take that
feedback and either jump into the draftor stay in the draft, or take
what they've given you and go backto school and get to work on it,
and so I think that's my guessis that's what Bronni is doing,
is just trying to find out wherehe stands with the legitimate people and all
this, and then he'll go backto school and work on those things and
(20:29):
eventually, you know, go keephis name in the draft. And one
of the things that I can't quiteunderstand don and maybe we'll dig into it
a little bit later here in theshow is the whole and we actually have
some sound that we'll play from it. He's going to be a better pro
than a college player. He's builtto be a I don't quite understand that.
If that's the case, then goplay for G League at night and
(20:51):
try to run it there. ButI don't know how guys that are bigger,
faster, stronger, shoot better somehowfit his gain. Can you kind
of if that is in fact thecase, if there is some sense to
those statements, what do they meanby that? They mean? What they
mean by that is that college ismore of a system, more of a
system based offense, more of asystem a way of doing things, and
(21:11):
they just plug you into wherever theythink you fit in the system, whereas
the NBA is more read and reactbasketball like you understanding, make the right
play, make good decisions on yourown. It's more free flowing. It's
less restrictive as college. So that'swhy they say that. But the hard
part is saying, oh, he'sgoing to be a better NBA player just
(21:32):
because of that. We don't knowthat. I mean, you can say
that, but you don't know that. And and to me, at the
end of the day, for anyplayer, as I get going here with
these guys, I have in already, at the end of the day,
if you can't shoot, you can'tplay in the league. And so he
has to prove, no matter whenhe goes into the draft or pulls out
caught, whatever, he has toprove that he can consistently knock down a
(21:56):
three point shot. And if hecan do that with all the others stuff
that he has, which is reallygood stuff, the IQ and the defense
and all that, then yeah,he is an NBA player and maybe he
will be a better pro because ofthat. But it starts and ends with
consistent perimeter shooting. Have you enjoyedthe NCAA Men's Tournament. Don you think
Yukon's gonna beat everybody or what Yeah, Yeah, Yukon, it's similar to
(22:22):
it's similar to a pro team inthe sense that I'm not saying they would
beat NBA teams. That conversation wasgoing around last week. They got no
chance of beating an NBA team,But they're similar to a pro team in
that they can turn it on andyou could just sense that once the end.
You know, they had a goodyear. How many games they lose
third or four or five, somethinglike that, but you could just tell
that they hit another gear once theNCAA tournament started, and I would be
(22:47):
really shocked if anybody beats him herethis weekend. Yeah, I think they've
lost a game since like mid January. They just kind of flip that switch
and have been an absolute buzz saw. Since maybe we get lucky and it's
Purdue versus Yukon and the five,I only get kind of the superstar power
of Zach Edy on the other side. Don I don't know what you know
if that's already been declared to whathe's going to do when he when he
makes his decision to head to theNBA agency wise, But if you had
(23:11):
love hearing you talk about like whatBronni needs to do, if you got
Zach Edy, what would you wantto work on with him to make his
prospects as good as possible for playingat the next level. Well, I
would like to and it seems likehe's got a pretty good touch down there.
I haven't watched a ton of him, but I watched two games in
this tournament and they, you know, look, he's seven to four and
nobody else is seven four, solet's stick him right in the paint and
(23:32):
make them react to him. Butwhen he does get single coverage, he
has nice touch. What I wouldlike to see is him step out even
more, and they actually, youknow what, Matt, that's a good
example of what I was talking aboutwith Browning, because he's seven to four
and nobody can deal with him,nobody, you know, Matt Paynter,
and the staff hasn't encouraged him tostep out more or get behind the college
line and shoot threes, which wouldhelp him at the NBA level, because
(23:56):
in their system, our seven tofour guy plants in the paint and no
one can stop them. And sothat to me, for eating next the
next step for him would be steppingout, getting in ball screens high and
not just rolling to the rim,but picking and popping, picking and gett
into space and being able to makethat shot. I'd be interested to see
(24:17):
if I went to a like aPurdue practice, if he shot college threes,
would he make him I have afeeling he might. He might be
a better shooter than he's shown incollege. They just haven't asked him to
do that, because why would they, Because no one can stop him in
the paint. We've been watching himplay for a while. Don McClain joining
us right now. We've seen thesewomen play for a while, and I
(24:37):
guess that's why the storyline is sostrong this year with the women's tournament,
Donna, have you been watching itat all? And how unique is Caitlin
Clark For somebody that's just watched afew games, it's hard to take your
eyes off her when she's playing agame. She's a lot of fun to
watch, she is. And Iwatched that ioa LSU game, and the
thing that sets her apart is herability to make su on the move off
(25:00):
the bounce, which is you know, I haven't watched a ton of women's
basketball, but a lot of thatwhat I was saying earlier, system moving
passing, getting to a spot andmaking an open shot. Well, she's
a little different in the sense thatshe'll come off a high ball screen behind
the college line and shoot threes offthe dribble. You just don't see that
with the women's game that much.And not only that, she makes them.
(25:21):
So she takes tough shots, butmakes tough shots, which sets her
apart from any other women's player I'veseen at the college level in a while.
Speaking of taking tough shots and makingthem, the joker always seems to
come up huge in those moments.A little bit short last night. I'm
sure when he pulled up you werethinking, oh, no, one point
lost Eric Commins from thirty feet out, but it didn't go down. A
(25:42):
huge win for the Clips over theNuggets. Just kind of your thoughts about,
you know, how they're playing theknee soreness. You know, it
seems like the Lakers and Clippers areon two different trajectories here going into the
postseason and trying to get this thingright when the tournament starts. Yeah,
first of all, that was areally high level game line last night,
and I was actually really encouraged lastnight with the Clippers for a couple of
(26:03):
reasons. He they won that gamewithout Kawhi, but be you saw last
night and Denver's still the favorite inthe West, but you saw how much
better the Clippers bench is than Denver'sbench, at least right now with Murray
out. And so that when Iwhen I was watching last night, I
was thinking about a seven game seriesand things happening, foul trouble, hopefully
not injuries. But if you're thedeepest team in the league, which a
(26:26):
lot of people think the Clippers are, it may come down to that.
And it came to me it camedown to last night because it looked like
Denver was going to blow them out, and in comes a second unit in
the second quarter and spun that gamecompletely around. So I think the Clippers,
look they want to hold onto thatfour spot. They're in control of
their own destiny. They only gotto win I think three or four more
and they'll have it, and thenwe don't know when Kawhi is coming back,
(26:48):
but I'm sure part of this isgetting him healthy and rested for the
playoffs as well. So I thinkthe Clippers are in a good spot and
they just need to finish this regularseason the right way, get that home
court in the first round and seewhat happens. What about the other one?
Don The Lakers are playing as goodat basketball as anyone right now.
They've won eight to nine. Ithink they're second in offensive efficiency, and
(27:11):
it looks like it when you watchthem play. It just seems like that
offense with this starting lineup finally gettingsettled is really humm And how how big
of a deal is it for themto maybe get up to that even six
spot is sort of within reach.They're a game and a half back now,
we got five left. But howbig of a deal is positioning for
them now? Well, think aboutit. If you're in the nine to
ten game, you got to wintwo games to get into the playoffs.
(27:32):
If you're in the seven eight game, you got to win at least one,
and so that would be two extragames for the Lakers if they don't
get up to the seven or eight. But if they get to the six,
you're just in the playoffs and youdon't have any win or go home
type games just to get in.So I think it's really important. They
did it last year, but Idon't think you can keep going back to
that because, like I said,things happen but they are playing really well.
(27:55):
And I'm pretty sure the teams inthat one two spot are saying to
themselves, oh no, if weget the Lakers in the first round,
if they keep playing the way they'vebeen playing, the one and only Don
McLain nobody better. He's on ballySports tonight for the Clipper game. Always
great knowledge and he's all business thistime of year when the draft workouts begin.
(28:18):
He spends the morning cussing out twentytwo year olds, and then he
spends the afternoon eating cheese it's andchopping it up about basketball. Thank you,
Don You got me in a nutshell. Pye, I'm that simple,
guessing kids out in the morning,cheeses at night. There we go.
It works. Hey, I mean, I tell you what I did,
but all that does is involved touchingmyself like a monkey. We love you
(28:42):
though you cheese it simplicity. That'sthe key to life. Cussing out young
people at eating cheese its. Imean, look, you gotta look forward
to something every day, right,Spread yourself out, cut somebody out.
You're the biggest guard to God,damn floor. Spread yourself out, damn
it and play deferats secret textoso comingup next. Thank you for listening.
(29:03):
Everybody. Eric Musselman still to comeptro some money. AM five seventy eight
sports were alive everywhere on the iHeartRadioapp making our way until six thirty.
Yes, we got on late atfour. We get off at six thirty
for Clippers basketball. Clippers versus Jazzcoming up at seven thirty pm. And
(29:25):
I don't know if you go tothe iHeartRadio app if Dodger Talk is still
going on, perhaps it is asfar as the AM five seventy am band
Feedlet you know me, so yougot us still six thirty and then Clippers
basketball. I gotta say, Matt, it is Uh. It was a
(29:45):
wild day on Dodger Talk. Didnot expect that in the handoff. But
you know, everybody relates with onething, sugar and breast and tease.
Yeah, I mean you know thosetwo things. You put those things together
and you take advantage of I'm aperson that's got sugary breasts. People are
gonna get angry if it's salty teas. Nobody's defended salty teas. Well,
(30:07):
You're not going to catch a lotof flies with salt, but sugar teas.
Let's go all right, Matt,I have a few textosos secret text
dosa line brought to you by yourSokel Toyota dealers. We make it easy,
so textosos basically just show up onmy phone and part of the content
of the show, no doubt aboutthat. A great source of chagrin and
(30:30):
inspiration for me, mostly chagrin.It's been a rough week hearing Ronnie tell
Vic to shut up and fix thatass. I mean, yeah, it
was hard. It was hard yesterdaywhen Ronnie stomped Vic out. It really
was. Another text says this,whoa, I haven't heard Ronnie fade Vic
(30:56):
or anybody out in a minute.I believe he's never faded Vicy out.
The whole thing, the big contract. Why are we doing that? The
whole thing? But yeah, youknow what I can. Yeah, there
you go. Run. I'm tiredof it. And there's been talk of
(31:30):
a Vic boycott today. We didnot have him on. People wanted to
launch pad. It didn't happen.Isabelle was slided a lot of anger on
Dodger Talk. I just didn't thinkit was appropriate. Well, just the
baton, you know, instead ofbeing handed to us, it was thrown
at our head. So to secureit and continue to run with the current
topic. You guys are disqualified.That's okay, that's cool. We'll take
(31:52):
it all right. We'll just we'regonna walk out of here, hop the
click chingling flints. We're just gonnago, hey, mister cow, that's
me. Hello. He OMG.I find we have Eric Musselman on in
the very next segment. This comesfrom Fayetteville. I finally feel qualified to
(32:14):
reports on something for the Petros andMoney Show. I did my undergrad at
the University of Arkansas and got myMBA at USC. I can say with
great convention of conviction that Arkansas lovesbasketball. We just sucked and suck.
No one on earth has more unearnedloftier expectations for their sports programs at Arkansas.
(32:35):
And I can say this as afan. Not since Bobby Petrino did
that red face press conference in aneck brace has Fayetteville felt more down in
the dumbs. That is that issad, sad to hear, you know,
because we're gonna have exuberant, happy, excited for the future back in
southern California, away from the oppressivehumidity and heat of the South and the
(33:00):
lost causers, and now you're backhere in southern California. He's so happy.
But there is a flip side ofthat coin, Matt, those that
are left behind, it's a manin a neck brace with a red face.
That's the other side of that coin. Who was saying his assistant,
you know, Matt, you don'tlie. I mean when you when you
(33:20):
get left, it's tough. Oncewe had a coach at Tennessee, half
snake, the other half wrecked.Pile up the wood and burn his effigy.
We can dream about that, wishthat we could kick Lane Kiffin all
through the Tennessee Hills. A lionthieve and no count weasel, not worth
(33:44):
the bullet to kill Tiffin's, butwill never be safe in Tennessee. Kiffin
better hide out at youssen are fromDanny away from very very impactful texto.
(34:10):
So I think just letting us knowthat there is a sad part appreciated.
Yeah, there's no secret, Afine brought to you by your so called
Toyota dealers. We make it easy. Kate has to chill. The ad
bots that listen to me are pickingup on the podcast, and I think
they think I'm a freaking seed addict. This guy's got commercials for a smack
(34:32):
in Seeds Jersey, a bucket ofsmack, smacking seeds, all kinds of
smacking seeds stuff. The seed revolutionon the Petrosen Money Show, I would
say is about a month old.Ever since the beginning of spring training mat
we're about But then Kate shared thesmacking story with us, I would say
that's fair. Three weeks to amonth ago is when he really, you
(34:54):
know, stuck his seed neck out. And I think we're part responsible.
We told him that he should engagewith smacking, that maybe he could be
an influencer. Did it worked,Yeah, look at somebody else just sent
me our first box. Had totry him. It's a guy with a
box of smacking seeds like Kate's.You're getting nothing out of this, no,
(35:15):
and they're getting everything. They're reapingall the benefit. Good for the
two guys who started the company incollege in Minnesota. By the way,
I went to dinner with my parentslast night for my birthday because it is
birthday a week for Tim Kates,and my dad was like, seriously,
what's going on with these sunflower seeds? Like is this a problem? I'm
like, no, no, no, that's not a problem. It sounds
like a problem. You packed yourcheek with seeds as I was talking to
(35:36):
the table. I can't understand youget the seats out of your mouth,
and that your face now looks likean old baseball mitt and the inside of
your mouth looks like an old WorldWar two airplane. Hangar, Well,
we've had a wonderful show thus far, a shorter show than we thought we
would have, only about two anda half hours today, but uh Don
(35:57):
McClain already, Eric Mussel been comingup. We'll talk about Browny. We
got the lessons learning great sports talk, quick hits, dead in a live
fun fact. Troubles are over,dude, and there will be an early
show, a short early show ona Flex Alert on Monday, so don't
forget we started one on Monday.We're headed toward Clippers Jazz tip off at
