(01:38):
no pro football, college football news, pro football news, but no
actual football. It's just wagon.It's out of town. It's gone.
We got Clippers basketball, we gotUCLA basketball, and we have no y
y yah yah yah yah yah yah. Yeah, y'all your back, ya

(02:02):
ya Yafield camel Back Ranch, backfieldbreaking news is what we got all day
every day, so showing Tony didsome batting practice type of stuff, so
we will talk to were efforting toget David Vase on the phone and the

(02:24):
four o'clock hour to discuss what's goingon at camel Back Ranch. Who's back?
The Dodgers are back. They're backon the station now that the Super
Bowl is over, and Vick ishere with us, and Vic told the
show before ours, what did youtell him. VIC told them that he

(02:49):
was the only one that saw theChiefs winning. That the rest of them
and the rest of everybody else sawthe context that Rodney show or or is
that because that the public money wasall over the Chiefs. Vic like eight
seventy four percent of the public's moneywas bet on the Chiefs. But Vic
said he was the only one.No, I never said that. I

(03:10):
was not alone in picking the Chiefs, you know, being two point underdogs.
But I was four points from perfectionin my prediction. But I was
I was happy with my prediction.So you did a victory lap. Basically,
you spent the day doing a victorylap on Rogan and Rodney because of
your final score prediction that was fourpoints four points off. I was four

(03:35):
points off from which was bigger thanthe actual spread. Yeah, four points
is a is a gargantuan number inthe slim margins of football, Vick,
especially when a point spread opens attwo and a half slips to two and
at one point one and a half. Taken for Matt money Smith his middle
name is money exactly, absolutely,but I felt good. I felt good
with the pick, though, butit was a It was a tremendous Super

(03:57):
Bowl. I know you guys aregoing to reflect on it, but it
was just a I have one reflection. I was sitting there. I didn't
go anywhere, I didn't do anything. I watched it with my wife was
asleep. My son was at afix house, and I watched it with
my daughter. And as she increasinglystarted to root for Taylor Swift, I
became increasingly insecure and bitter and weak, like Colin Coward says about men of

(04:20):
my ilk, and I was chaseddown into my basement and watched it alone
at the end, because well,I have my lizard exactly, another strong
female female personality here in the house. And I got to say, I
felt weak, I felt insecure,and I felt bitter by the whole thing.

(04:42):
Colin Coward like a prophet, Vic, even more so than you.
That's why it makes the big bucks. You guys can punch his head off
all you want. That guy's numberone. Listen your reaction to that,
Vic, your reaction. It's allabout my homes. It really boiled down
to the MVP once again, andI was amazed at the muff punt.

(05:03):
Well, the muff putt was abig play. They had nothing going on
before that punt, vic nothing goingon until it hit that dude's leg,
and everybody trying to pin it onold Ray Ray McCloud. But he was
scrambling trying to get that thing.No one can blame Ray Ray mclouds.
He put a big effort in tryingto secure that very next play bang touchdown.
Next thing, you know, mahomesand the Chiefs offense comes alive after

(05:23):
there's nothing. Nobody makes a lineJack and Coke like the great bar Ray
Ray mcclouds. I mean, theydo the best joint. That's true.
Instantly when Hardman caught the touchdown pass, I'm watching a game with my beloved
bride, you go, sucker motoa heart initial reaction Dynasty is that right?
She's screaming Dynasty And I said,they you flipped it the Dynasty on

(05:46):
like the TV Land or something.No, we didn't go with James over
you know that. That's just confusingto the man. Really was, Oh,
you know, the Dynasty was afine show and it's on right,
incredible show. That's no Dallas carryTis. But you go God right to
the meat of the meta, rightto the heart of the matter dynasty forgiveness.

(06:06):
This says, here, stop bullyingVic like Kelsey did Andy Reid.
Oh see, now that wasn't okay? Huh? That was not okay,
was it? Vic? That wasa crazy moment in the game. Man
sixty five year old, you know, poster of health and Andy Reid and
you got a freaking athlete in hisprime that clocks in at six foot six,

(06:28):
two hundred and fifty pounds chest bumpinghim like he's one of the rockers
in the freaking steel cage match.That's not a good look. Oh,
Sean Michaels and Marty Gannetti, whichgreat patience by Andy Reid thinks understanding the
moment, Yeah, he said,he understands that. You know, his
players want to win. Obviously,kelse ball after the Potaco fumble, he

(06:48):
got very frustrated. He said,you know, put me in coach.
I want a piece of that.I want a piece of the end.
Zo He very competitive and Andy understoodthat that's a lack of composure and it
speaks terribly to their team dynamic.But what can you say when they've won
back to back Super Bowls? Iblame Taylor Swift. We never had this
problem with Travis Kelcey before she camealong, no packing people's eyes out with

(07:10):
their long red bee exactly. Andnow Kelsey's like, I want some of
that. I want to push peoplearound. I want to push figures of
authority around, Like Taylor gets tomy dad just met Paul McCartney. What
do you do, you fat idiotfootball coach from Marshall High and Los Fela's
who you think you are? Good? Let's let's get to it, Matt.
What are the headlines? I mean, look at this, I mean,

(07:31):
this is the biggest day pass.What should the headline be today?

about. You know, I'm nota racist. I mean I hope you
do. He's a bad headline.What are the headlines? Taylor Swift,
Hollywood sponsorships and now a third SuperBowl win. Travis Kelcey is the goat

(07:55):
multitasker, the goat multitasker, thegoat oh multitask Feel like maybe there's people
out there that are multitasking much tougherthings besides dating the most famous woman in
the world, a podcast and playingfootball. Kelsey Swift embrace after Chiefs win

So? He sang and damn parthe's on. Shack gifted Taylor Swift this
four four and ninety five big dazzledfootball bag half the Super Bowl. I

(14:20):
don't know, like, why doShack exactly? How does Shack have to
give Taylor Swift a four? Andlook, Shack is the most benevolent,
charitable superstar we have ever n scoutthe best, incredibly benevolent. But you
don't need to give Taylor Swift toforty four hundred dollars. But just like
Brittany Mahomes, that's stupid. Whodo you get Taylor for Christmas? Oh?
I got her a twenty eight hundreddollars but dazzled microphone bag. You

(14:41):
know that she's got a bag fora microphone. It's not that bag,
Yeah, not that bag one thatactually protects the microphone. This one says,
I doubt travels. I drive Idoubt she travels around with her own
microphone anyway. That'd mean why somebodyelse probably carries it for we're gonna truck
that ahead of her. Who wasthe person with the red afro in the
Taylor suite? That's a textoso froma white guy. I'm sure that doesn't

(15:05):
know. It was I spy,I Spice the Satanist. According to the
Evangelical Christians, Spice, well,look at TEIs was one of the more
interesting angles to take. Look atthis. It is Satan's spawn up there
in that booth. It was likeGod's hand. That's an upside down Satanic

(15:28):
Oh God, for sure? WhatOn a recent PetroSA Mandy show, according
to Textoso, VIC predicted casey twentyseven San Francisco twenty four, that's according
to the Textoso. Is that correct? Vic? That is correct? Thank
you? And the final instead wastwenty five to nineteen. I'm like,

(15:58):
I know it was four points offof the first you know, I'm just
saying kind of, so, howdo you know? How do you know
what how many points you're off ifyou don't know the actual score. And
I'm not trying to bully you likeKelsey bullied Andy Reid. I'm not trying
to test your hit. I'm justtrying to figure out how you came up
with four. You could say thatyou were up by three, you had
twenty seven to twenty four. Isthat what you went with today? Like

(16:19):
you woke up this morning, youwere like, I'm gonna say I was
four points off. That's gonna bemy angle today. Well, I knew
I was close. I knew Iwas close. I knew I had to
handle on it. You know,your your pick was correct on both the
spread and the money line. That'sa that's a double winner there. Lady
Gaga, Lady Gaga, Park MGM, mat okay, Park MGM residence.

(16:47):
So there you go. Promote thepromote the residency. It was all one
big promotion. Typically that's what theSuper Bowl is. Yeah, buy me
some of them Reese's cups. Youknow, look at those two people drinking.
But after the bud like commercial therehe is posts below and the dude
that plays the genie, why isthe genie there? There was literally a

(17:08):
sweet that at every Vegas act inat sitting next to each other from Dug
Carrot Top, Carrot Top, Yeah, Minka Kelly, the guy from imagine
Dragons. This was a super Bowl. Vic would have been at if he
was in better health, no doubtwould have been next super Bowl. The

(17:30):
answer to who is I Spice?She is the sixth Spice girl? Correct?
Exactly right, Sir Satan Spice withtheir upside on cross devil Spine.
Wouldn't it be better if imagine Dragonsperformed since they're actually from Vegas? No,
what about the Killers? Yeah,the Killers or Liberaci. Let's get

(17:52):
Liberachi. We should have had Liberaciout there is what we should have had.
Yeah, they should have done LIBERACCIUWe Newton hologram Liberaci like hologram Tupac.
Right, Waine Newton live hologram Liberaci. Now you know what sucks about
hologram Liberaci. His fingers touched thekeys, but they don't press him down,
They don't play the notes. Yeah, you're right. I could have

(18:17):
used somebody from Vegas, not Atlanta. But Vic said it was great.
Some people really liked the halftime show. I I maybe that's just not my
era of music. I'm a suckerfor men unroller Skatch, so I like
that my fans. That reminded meof the Great bow Wow Vehicle Roll Bounce,

(18:38):
Roll Bounce a great movie. Ican appreciate him actually singing live for
most of it and working up agood lather sweat. I mean he was
really dripping by the end of thatperformance. Mind's out there dancing around and
say, you know, I'm gonnatake my shirt off. Everybody attacked Adam
Levine for taking his shirt off,right, and I attacked me. I'm
gonna take it off. Check thisout, look at my nips, and

(19:00):
then I'm gonna put on my weirdRhythm Nation padded coat, my Dodgeball Global
Sports, Jim Globo, Jim Globo, Jim Dodgeball outfit. I'm gonna grab
Alicia Key's ass and yeah, youlike this whizz beats check me out?
Yeah. You know who was veryinvolved in the halftime show on Twitter?

(19:21):
You'd be shocked to know Andrew Siciliano. No, he was over at the
seismic place. He was doing research. Yeah, I'll re count that,
but uh it was. It wasthe the disgrace and I am really angry.
Don't say his name, Petros,I won't what now I want to
know the guy who disgraced us withsam Amon the dude wast okay and He

(19:49):
was like, that's the best halftimeshow. Sits Prince Easy And I was
like, what the dude? WhatEasy? Dude doesn't sniff the freaking doc.
The Drake produced spectacle. Here itso far and then you know,
the Duke of Sports with his appropriation. You know, swears ain't going like
that. Yeah, thank you,thanks to Duke. It's called the performance.

(20:11):
They're professionals, Duke, as isSam Amy exactly, you idiot.
Super Bowl shots, brother, Let'sgo. And just as an update,
have we gotten a text back Kate'sfrom Sam Amic saying Hey, it's all
good. I'm still friends with youguys. Let me hit refresh. I'ment
Nope, nothing, we're done.He ruined our relationship with sam Amy just

(20:37):
to get his purple and gold Lakerfart out there. You know about this,
Vic, I guess not. He'sstick gone. Did he leave us?
Very very very very controversial. Hehad to fight his way off a
hold there. Yeah, Vic,your thoughts on the Duke of Sports fighting

(20:57):
with Sam Amic and making it sowe no longer get to have the senior
NBA columnist for The Athletic on becausehe caused a Twitter fight with him and
embarrassed the man late at night onenight by acting like an idiot. I
believe Sam, Sam will see thelight. He's a friend of the show.

(21:18):
He's a friend of the Petro somemoney show. I don't. I
don't believe that's going to torpedo arelationship. This is Amic knows better.
Amy's a good man. I wasjust thinking about us, like, wait
a minute, how did this?How did this get back to us?
Guys don't worked for us for years. I can tell you how do you
know? It's freaking Twitter bio.You a whole get our station off your

(21:40):
Twitter bio if you're gonna go afterfreaking reporters and accuse them of bias because
you're a super fan idiot. Yeah, former intern at AM five seventy l
A Sports. That's how Amy somehowattached him to us. And now we
don't we don't have one of ourand it's basketball season now. If you

(22:03):
are in the sports media and youwould like to tit, like if you're
Pablo who's the local sports anchor inMadison, Wisconsin, and you want to
tip your cap to the Petros andMoney Show and say, hey, guys,
thanks for being a rung on myletters success. I appreciate you,
so be it. But Arren Hardviews, Now, Duke, you are in
hard news. What are you doing? And if Pablo wants to cause a

(22:26):
fight with Luke Fickle and that makesit so Luke Fickle never comes on,
I might be a little more forgiving, right, so be it, But
this I do not forgive. No, it's not part of your job.
Hot sports takes and attacking national writersis not part of your job as the
technical director and associate producer of atJohn Cobelt Radio at KFI AM six forty.

(22:53):
Get us off your bio. Itreally it bothered me. I was
thinking about it this weekend matches tossingand turning by me. Just really upset
about it. I can vows tothat because just random I got a text
like Evan duca sports man, Whatis he thinking? Yeah? Wherehere did
this come from? Right? Not? Okay, we'll see the truth,

(23:15):
Sam will see the truth. That'swhat I do on a weekend. I
fret about our our our relationship withSam. I don't know how we'll continue.
I mean, it's all star break. I don't know what to do.
We want to we want to checkin at the unofficial midpoint of the
NBA season. All Star Break withSam Amic and now we got to go
with Scott Howard Cooper all Cookie orWiki. No, oh, I see

(23:37):
what you did there? You knowwho should we see what you did there?
Kase, We gotta uh, wegotta rekindle, We gotta we gotta
rekindle Boja. Oh yeah, forsure. But you know, I think
Sharoon is on the hate list.He hates us. I don't think he
hates us, Okay, I thinkhe's just gotten too big for us.

(23:59):
Too big, that's right, guysmaking millions, too big of an odor.
Oh, come on, we gottago. Wayne's up next. Alright,
alright, well let's kick it weightout big UCLA news. We're gonna
talk about it a couple times.The Bruins hired to Sean Foster farmer,
Tustin Tiller running back. We'll talkto Wayne about it next. Petrosen Money

(24:29):
AM five seventy LA Sports were liveeverywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Going to
Clipper basketball tonight Thursday, we gotUCLA basketball and all week long, no
doubt, a lot of Dodger conversations. Show hailed Pawnee pounding Doggers out on
the backfields of Camelback Ranch first springtraining game. We cannot wait. We'll
be right here on your home withthe Dodger's am five to seventy February twenty

(24:52):
second. But a big, bighire in town Pe. Well, yeah,
as it as big as the poundingof dog I don't know, I
don't think so, but it certainlyis a big deal. To Sean Foster,
hired to be the head coach atUCLA after an awkward and strange departure
from Chip Kelly, UCLA going tobe led into the future by an ex

(25:18):
great running back. To Sean Foster, who has coached pretty much only at
UCLA was a Raider running back coachand then came back after a couple of
weeks to get this job. Theplayers certainly were very excited, and here's
hoping DeShawn has great success. Hereto discuss it is our dear friend Wayne
Cook, former partner of Matt's onthe radio. Yeah, and a great

(25:44):
quarterback in UCLA led them to theRose Book, and a beloved man in
Newbury Park and beyond, and ateacher of the youth. Wayne Cook is
what we all aspire to be.What's cracking? Cookie? Has it gone?
I don't know. Do you guysaspire to be sitting in a parking
lot outside of a school doing aradio interview right now? I mean,
that's I'm living right right in there, a little bit wet. It's only

(26:07):
bad if the phone doesn't work.Wayne. We appreciate you coming on and
all the great work you do onthe UCLA broadcast. It feels like none
of this stuff has comes as asurprise to the UCLA types we talked to
on and off the air. Justkind of a weird couple weeks in brewin
football history. Yeah, yeah,I mean, you know, listen.

(26:30):
I mean I try to tell peoplethis, like, if you want to
sit here and talk about the positivesof Tip Kelly, just go to one
of his practices. They were runreally, really well. Most of his
players will tell you he gets themready for the NFL if you talk about
it. I mean, just somuch. The coaching staff has been great,
and DeShawn Foster has been a partof that coaching staff. There's just

(26:51):
been so much positives. We've hada top ten offense in the nation,
we've had a top ten defense inthe nation, but just couldn't quite find
a way to win those extra one, two three games. And there's always
that Arizona State game, like therewas this year that like you scratch your
head and you go, what happened? I've said it. I thought they
made the wrong choice at quarterback lastyear. I thought Ethan Garber should have

(27:11):
been a guy the whole time.But I also have a lot of positive
things to say about what Chim Kellybrought to U C. L A.
And it didn't work out and he'sgone, and yes, you're right,
it was awkward, But then westart talking about replacements, and it just
feels like, I mean, II know you have you guys had him
on your show before, Shawn fofserSure, no, but I I know
him every week. Yeah. Great, but he's but he's a he's a

(27:34):
He's a great guy, wonderful person, going up right, every single one
of it, Yeah, every singleone of his running backs ends up you
know in the NFL feels like andit's just he coaches the right way.
He's a good guy. But goinginto this I didn't think he would be
the higher only because of the lackof head coaching experience or being a coordinator.

(27:59):
But I don't know what you guysthink about this, but like I
think I was thinking about it assoon as I heard it. I was
excited for him. He's a greatcoach. He's a great guy, and
I'm starting to think how this isperfect because what you need to do is
a head coach is surround yourself withthe right people. And if you surround
yourself with the right people and heputs a good staff in place. You
saw you guys saw the video.The players absolutely love him. Tons of

(28:21):
guys even before it was announs,we're saying that we got to bring to
Sean back. He's the guy.He'll be able to recruit. You're already
starting to hear rumors of some ofthe schools out there. They're like,
yeah, we love the show,like he's always here and that was one
of the knocks on on coach Kellywas recruiting. So there's just so many
positive to this. No idea whothe OC is going to be. I

(28:41):
think that's going to be fun towatch. Could someone be promoted? Could
could they bring in someone else?Like I'm not sure how he's going to
fill up his staff. Who he'sgoing to keep is it going to be
everybody who's going to go I don'tknow, but I guarantee you this.
We have a solid human being,a guy, great character who's going to
give it everything he's got. AndI'm excited you mentioned it there, Wayne,
So I'll just ask you to expandthat's I guess the one concern,

(29:06):
right, if you've never been acoordinator and you've never been a head coach,
he's got to hire a staff interms of the staff that you know
is going to be sticking around,some of them around two or three year
extensions, versus what he needs togo out there and find. How big
of a concern is that? Howsoon does he have to get that put
to bed? Well, I mean, here's what I was worried about in

(29:27):
the first place. Matt is like, as you know, when everybody gets
that thirty day window when when acoach leaves, and then I already saw
someone write an article on which playersmight Chip Kelly want to bring with him
that could transfer to to Ohio State, and then you start seeing all these
articles. Well, I'm gonna I'mgonna go ahead and say this. I

(29:48):
think a lot of the players thatare at UCLA are are are locked in
now? So that hire keeps theplayers you have. And then, like
you said, like, what arewe going to do? Are you gonna
maybe think about Jerry Newayes as youroffensive coordinator? He's going to bring in
someone else. You have a quarterbackand Ethan Garber's who I just saw he
posted how great of a hire thiswas. He loves Deshan Foster. You
know, is it gonna is theoffense going to be different or it's going

(30:11):
to be a lot of the samestuff with us because usually when you have
a senior quarterback like we're going tohave, you don't want to change things
too much because you've got experience inthat area. So it'll be really interesting
to see how they go about Ithink the OC hire is is going to
be interesting. I think Kaika MaloyI think they have a relationship. I
would be surprised if that changes.But you know, he's that coach.

(30:33):
He can do whatever he wants.But on the offensive side, I'm curious
how similar the offense will look andhow much changes our tweaks he'll make in
year one. Wayne, It's kindof interesting. The last time UCLA had
an opening, it was a hugeswing. They went and hired Chip Kelly.
They gave him what he wanted.They gave him the facility wanted a
huge donor donations to make it happen. I don't feel like they really interviewed

(30:57):
guys like that this time around.They're obviously going in a different direction.
Why why is that? Well,first of all, do you guys believe
any of the reports you see onon online anymore? I mean, like
people are, oh, they interviewedBrett Brennan and the interview Jet Fish,
and I'm like, well, whywould those guys be I'm like, I
don't know. That just seems dumbto me, Like I don't understand half

(31:18):
the stuff that's reported nowadays. Butwhether it happened or not, I just
think that sometimes, you know,I'll go I'll go back to Terry Donnihue.
Terry Donahue wasn't a swing for thefences. It wasn't let's go out
and get the best coach in thecountry. It was a let's hire one
of our own. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, you know.
Jim Mora was a pretty big name, a guy that had been in the

(31:41):
NFL, and he had some earlysuccess and then it kind of you know,
it kind of went downhill after that. I mean, so I don't
know the right answers, but Iwill tell you this, it's kind of
refreshing for it not to be aretread, if you know what I mean.
You've heard the big names out there. It's kind of refreshed wishing to
see what a coach who has donenothing but have success at his position get

(32:05):
an opportunity to leave a program wherehe was an All American. We all
seen him play. He was greatwith the Carolina Panthers in the NFL.
He was a great running back.And if he coaches the way he ran
the football Petros, that's what Iwant. I mean, that guy ran
hard, Yeah, and people justslid off him like he was laminated.
It was weird. Wayne. Whatabout the fact that not only I'm not

(32:28):
trying to, you know, castthis in a negative light, but now
UCLA's going into the Big Ten.I mean, this is a new first
time head coach. You've got allthese players, You've got road games at
Penn State and Nebraska and LSU thisupcoming season. What about trying to navigate
that transition. How much of anissue do you think that's going to be
This is not a Pac twelve scheduleanymore. Well, we can't sugarcoat this.

(32:53):
I mean the Pac twelve, tobe honest, was actually a pretty
solid conference last year. As wesaw. It's like, you don't get
the brakes. UCLA has had prettyeasy non conference schedules the last few years.
It's gonna get harder this year.We've got to take a trip to
LSU right after we go to Hawaii, and it's just there's just a lot
of big games on the schedule,a lot of tough road games. But

(33:15):
you know, I mean, that'swhat you want. I'm not going to
sugarcoat and act like it's going tobe easy. I'm not going to sit
in front of you guys and predictten wins next year because I have no
idea what's going to happen. ButI will say this, if with Deshaun
Foster staying the offense, was wasgoing to have a lot of guys back.
We've got a quarterback coming back,We've got really good receivers coming back.

(33:35):
TJ. Harden At running coming back. The whole offensive line's coming back.
Like we got two tight ends comingback. Now, like those guys
aren't going to transfer. It wasthe other side of the ball. But
I think before Tip Kelly left,they they brought in some transfers to fill
some holes in the secondary. Yes, they're replacing danton Land who went to
USC. But Kaika Maloy, youknow, Petrick, she will know this.
You covered those teams at Washington withVita Vea, and oh yeah,

(34:01):
I mean, this guy's a goodcoach. So the idea is is that
there's more pieces I think in placethan I think people think. I know
we lost some great players on defense, but there's still some guys came to
Dronalks coming back. I mean,I think those guys are going to stay
now and come back. So,like, I don't know what the record

(34:22):
is going to be. I expectthe team to play with enthusiasm. There's
still a lot of questions to beanswered. But let's be honest. He's
going to be better with the media. You know, Chip was great to
me. I always like Chip.I like his personality. If you talk
football with him, he's great.But let's be honest, Like the perception
was, it's not good. Theperception was recruiting could have been better.

(34:42):
I thought he was great in atransfer portal. But but you know,
people didn't like the way he recruitedhigh school. I think that Sean Foster
will be more up on that,and he's going to embrace NIL whether we
like it or not, NIO,at least for now, until we figure
something out and make this more likethe NFL. Whatever's going to happen in
the few you have to embrace it. You have to be willing to talk
to the alumni. And I cantell you this, the alumni loved the

(35:06):
Sean Foster. There's going to bea great honeymoon. People are gonna people
are going to be excited. Iknow. So there's always people that are
going to question it, but there'sgoing to be a lot of energy,
and part of that energy needs tobe towards Hey, how are we going
to get money to pay some ofthese players that we're going to recruit for
next year? Big overview question foryou, Wayne, because you understand the

(35:27):
place better than most people. It'snot an easy place to do stuff at
UCLA. You're under the UC system, Coaches, administrators, all kinds of
people complain about it. How dothey avoid becoming col in football? You
know what I mean? Okay,you you know what I'm saying, how
do they because that's what this feelslike. I mean, I hope this

(35:51):
guy, I love de Sean.I mean he played against him. I
hope he's Pat Fitzgerald and he cantranscend the limitations of the place, you
know, But I mean, howdo you guys avoid becoming cow football?
So, I mean I'll answer thatin a couple of ways. I mean,
one, I do think I dothink UCLA has made some changes.
I mean, I do believe ourfacilities are are really really good. I

(36:14):
think we've we've put more money,We're paying assistance better. I mean,
we've paid you know, we've paida coach. It. I mean that
just goes to show if you goback a decade, it was it was
much worse. It was much worse. I think it's made progressed. But
I will remind people and this iswhat I really I said this already earlier,
and I think people forget this.Two years ago, with Dorian Thomson,
Ramason and Jack Charbonnay, we hadone of the best offenses in the

(36:37):
entire country. Last year, wehad one of the best defenses in the
entire country. So wouldn't you arguethat if you can have one of the
best offenses in the entire country andone of the best defenses in the entire
country in the last two years,that that means that it can be done.
Yeah, you can find the talent. So but now it would have
been nice to do it in thesame year. But like I said,
I still believe this the biggest tragedyof the last here, and I don't

(37:00):
know why it happened, and Idon't ever want to be mean to a
young player. But more Dante wasnot ready, he wasn't et close to
ready, and the best quarterback onthat team was Ethan Garver's. Yeah,
and yeah, he's not perfect,but if you watch him play, he's
really good. He's athletic, he'sgot a strong arm, he moves around
while he's a great leader. Hedoes a lot of good stuff. I

(37:22):
think UCLA wins two, maybe threemore games if he's a quarterback all year.
And so to me, that wasa mistake. So I don't think
we're as far away as people think. Now. Yeah, we have to
replace lot too, Yeah we wouldhave to replace the Murphys, but the
defensive tackles are all coming back.But a lot of them. We have
to replacement most outlinebacker, but wegot other guys coming back. There's a

(37:43):
lot of guys coming back, soI'm optimistic. Sometimes a new voice adds
new energy. I have a feelingthey're still going to practice great because Deshaun
Foster's been around some NFL coaches thelast couple of regimes and they've practiced really,
really well, and that matters.And I think recruiting is going to
go up. We'll start doing betterin the high schools. I know it.
I can feel it right now thatwe'll do better in the high school

(38:05):
and we're still going to get somekids that want to come home and play
football in the transfer portal. SoI'm you know, I'm always optimistic,
you guys. I can't help it, It's in my nature. But happy
for Deshaun and happy for I thinkthis is a cool hire and I really
hope it works out for our school. Last thing for you, Wayne,
real quick, have they asked youhave you been part of any nil pitches?

(38:28):
And how hard, yeah is it? And how hard of a sell
is it? And how uncomfortable isit? Well? I forget who it
was that there was. I thinkthe Maryland coach had. It's something on
social media where he was talking abouthow his third string running backs asking for
one hundred thousand dollars where he's threateningto transfer to him. Just in a
nutshell a problem. I mean,it's like, yeah, like bye,

(38:50):
you know, have a nice life. But you know, the world right
now we have coaches leaving for obviousreasons. It's just really really hard to
to handle this environment. But youknow, if you're going to succeed,
you're just going to have to embraceit. But it's difficult, and yes
I have I've been in the facilitieswhere UCLA recently has got a company that's

(39:14):
come in to help with in ilto reach out and try and do a
better job. I mean, theyrecognize the weakness, but they also said,
listen, we're in la there's noexcuse. We got to find a
way. And I think that thosewheels are already spinning and they're trying to
get better with that. But itis awkward and uncomfortable. And it's like
when everybody comes and they want tocome to your school and their first question

(39:36):
is how much money do you havefor me? That's a challenge. So
UCLA has always have to have torecruit a certain type of athlete that wants
to be a student too. Butthey're going to have to figure out a
way to be able to have somemoney in place to offer, at least
until we put some rules in placewhere pay to play is not really the
deal and it's actually in IL whichwill help things too. But it's it's

(40:00):
difficult. But you know what,if you're a school like UCLA and you
have as many smart people as wehave, you gotta figure it out right.
Solve the problem. Seven figure nI L. That's what Wayne would
have had if he played today,the best of the best back in to
educate the youth of America. Wayne, We sure appreciate you, the Prince
Adventura County. Always a great guyand always great perspective about your alma mater

(40:22):
and a true love and realism aboutthe place. We appreciate you coming on

it's all the blueing fans out there. Let's support and move forward and
see what we can do with thisthing. I see what he's doing there.
I know what support means. Youcan use your coded language here,
Wayne, we'll dig into their pockets. Come on, people, I got

(40:44):
I got an email from USC todaythis show would like to talk to you
about time to your alma motto.Think of it as a time Wayne and

and the Mox played with the honeyBees and Minor Strutt. Three great bands,
three groups of kids kicking ass forsome Long Beach locals really enjoyed it.
Sound was great. Hopefully we'll beback there soon. Saturday surf with
my pal Rob and went over toHennessy's for the team and a lot of

(41:52):
questions. Matt the dirty water,Well, no, I mean, we
all love Hennessy's. But about thewhale a whale yesday because a lot of
people texted me. Somebody that worksdown there Bolsa Chica texted me and they're
like, hey, there's no it'sall blocked off. We can't get any

(42:14):
equipment in here to move the whale. It's headed to the wetlands. Yes,
and that has exactly. I hada conversation with my friend Lannie,
who the former head lifeguard at BolsaChica today and he said, in fact
that the tide pushed the whale underthe bridge into the wetlands. That's where
it drew some blood. Yes,So I said, doesn't that start decomposing

(42:37):
and we're all going to be sharkbait here pretty soon when they get a
whiff of that. Yes. Iwas also told that by the text of
his analysis of that, having beenthe head lifeguard and now retired for all
those years, was I took agood look at the whale and there were
no shark bite marks on it andapparently it's decomposing. Is at a point
I guess that he said it wasmostly bone and there wasn't a lot of

(43:00):
I guess like rotten ish flesh.I don't know, Matt. It's either
that or dysentery for everybody likes.So that is the current status of the
dead whale. PJ Trio played Hennessesfor three hours. I met Derek West.
You may remember him. I wouldassume he played against your brother,
maybe when he was at Colorado,an offensive lineman. We didn't play Colorado

(43:23):
back in those days. I playedagainst Colorado once. But Tasso DII,
the largest human being I think Imay have ever come across. Six foot
nine three and ten pounds was hishis listed his playing I guess height and
weight. The sad part about thatis, I think, wow, pretty
skinny, yes, not an ounceof fat. A gigantic human being.

(43:45):
He was out, very nice gentleman. Sunday surfed again and met I think
Howard was his name, or Harold, big PMS listener, and so shout
out tip of the cap to him. Very nice guy, packed not a
lot of waves. People started gettingrusty. Bad vibes began to develop,
but Howard was was a bright shininglight and that group of Curmudgeons coffee at

(44:07):
HSS for a minute. I madethe Franks red hot dip for Tommy's for
the pregame and then the mentors forthe Super Bowl to super That's when you're
a popular guy. Game got togo to two Super Bowl. Hey,
I gotta take this to Tommy.Now, I got to go up to
the mentor. When you hit twounbelievable, that's what people know, you're
the man. Cats had a funweekend Saturday, did a little double dip,

(44:32):

bus us deal right, the clubteam, Yeah not the d one team.

(44:52):
Gotcha, gotcha, gotch And thenthey ran into a bus on U
c l A, which beat himup pretty good Saturday night. But I
think a lot of girls were deadtired after the us C game. During
the day, the heavy drinking GCU. Oh heavy, heavy drinking in between
games. So that's what they doafter Women's lay Cross, right, it's
like rugby. Yeah, I'll goout drinking together, get hammered and you
know, celebrate the competition. Andthat's awesome because of the Christianity GC who

(45:13):
drinks the red wine only, well, they leave up to the parents who
Saturday and night well sometimes the parentssay you can drink blush. But it's
pretty rad. Yeah. Yeah.Saturday night, after we'd said goodbye to
Layla Andre drove back to Burbank,myself, my wife and the Everetts Chat
and Kim Logan, Logan's parents whoLayla is dating. Went went out to
get some more drinks and keep thenight going, and we ended up going

(45:35):
to this old restaurant in Bourbank calledLancers, and they have a bar that's
in the back that's like all regularsfrom the nineteen eighties till now, like
they haven't left. It was anawesome spot. Beer was cheap, drinks
were cheap, and the people werefantastic. They were hanging out their Lancers.
It's basically like a coffee shop,but they got a bar in the

(45:55):
back, which is awesome. Andafter that play started to close down,
we decided to go to a placecalled the guild Hall. You drunk.
The guild Hall there were going perhaps, which is on Hollywood Way and Victory
and it's a bar that fancies itselfwith board games, Twitch on the TV
screens and alcohol. So we didn'twatch any of the Twitch video games going

(46:20):
on this TV screens, but there'slike two hundred board games in there.
You can go grab one and playat your table and just kind of hang
out there. So there was alot of hipsters in there and then us
in our forties late forties just kindof hanging out and drinking about twelve thirty
in the morning. So we hada great time Saturday night. Sunday watched
the Super Bowl sho that was fun. Long Saturday bar. Geez it ended

(46:40):
great, died great three bars.Ye yeah, Jim Kates at the guild
Hall. That's like right down thestreet from my house. I often frequent
that place. Tim, That's apretty cool place. What did you think
of it? I'll go back toLancers. Lancers is like an extension of

(47:01):
what is it? What is thatone on Burbank Boulevard Cafe No, the
other one the one where you wentfor the village game, the Tally ran
the tra Yeah, the Tally RandomLancers probably about the same place, just
about anyway, had a nice weekend. Saturday morning. I was up and
in the backyard doing some cleanup,trimming some palm branches and shrubs, and

(47:25):
hosed off the back patio and tookoff the screens and washing off the screen
through a little bit of spring cleaningbefore the actual springtime arrives. My wife
went to a baby shower in theearly afternoon, so there's a little method
to the madness there. She leftme a list of things to do around
the house, so I was,yeah, I was trying my best to

(47:45):
accomplish as much as I could fromthat list. So I did go to
the grocery store for a few thingsand picked up a pizza on the way
back. And in the evening,my wife came home and we watched the
Barbie movie while sipping on some winesomething of that running It was It wasn't
what I thought it would be.It wasn't bad, and you know it's
it's got some positive messages. Uhweaved into the uh into the storyline,

(48:09):
so uh, I mean, Ithought it was Okay, my wife loved
it. She absolutely loved it.I think you're trying to be politia running.
I think you're trying to walk thatline. And I'd say, this
is a hot, steaming pile ofcracks. Well, you know she is,
uh, she's probably listening and probablyuh wondering what I was going to
say about the movie. So thereyou go. Super Bowl Sunday, we
hung out with my son and hisgirlfriend and we had the pizza wings thing

(48:30):
and my wife made a spicy guacamoledip that was very good, and we
had a great time in enjoying eachother's company. And uh boy, what
a Super Bowl game. What agame. I didn't really have a rooting
interest, but I did enjoy thegame. That was my weekend petro.
So he wasn't worried that she wasgoing to poison you. Uh after watching
the Barber movie with that spicy walk. Uh, No, not at all.

(48:52):
And I watched the movie. Whenthat America Ferrara started going on our
little speech, I looked over atmy wife and I was like, she's
got a pull out of steak knifeand staff my juggular. That's what I
thought, my wife. Of course, I didn't watch the whole movie.
After the speech, I left,all right, Matt, I'm sure we
can. Tim and Ronnie Friday,I drove my children. Around Saturday,

(49:15):
I went to yoga keffee yoga,my sister's yoga studio at Florence on the
Crenshaw Boulevard. You know, Matt, he really I don't think I've seen
him there in two years. It'sbeen a while, it has. My
brother Demetrius and his wife Courtney baptizedtheir second daughter, Frankie, at the
Greek Church, so we had abaptism at Saint Catherine. Father Mike Quarry,

(49:36):
a listener of the show, toldme that he appreciate that the Spinals
family has a father bachus out atthe at the Elsegundo Commons to do the
blessing for the new place, andhe said he'll be involved, you know,
however involved. The Chargers want tobe in the South Bay with the
Greek Orthodox Church, of course,so that was good to know that he's

(49:57):
been listening. It made me feelbad about how much I mentioned Putza.
He knows what that means, Yeah, he sure does. He speaks perfect
Greek, and his son and adaughter in law baptized Dmitri's baby, the
priest's son. So that was nice. We say yasas, yes, all

(50:19):
right, it's a great mazzle forall of us to have everybody together.
And then did he did he chastiseyou for your use of the puzzo?
No? No, I believe heloves the show. Does he love the
puzzo talk? I said, Ididn't say that. He just said I
was listening to your show, myson. And I was like, I'm
sorry, father, and he waslike, I enjoyed, you know.

(50:42):
I was like, okay, good. So that was fine, but maybe
a little less puzzo. Yeah,he didn't say it. He didn't say
it. And how could I dothat? You know, how could you
don't want to hear it? Don'tbring up something if you don't want to
hear the I can't Beverly Oaks ourshow. I'm just one part of the
show. So and then on Saturdaynight, poo got your poodso going,
get your poozzo out and get yourfood. So going. I watched the

(51:08):
Linda Blair movie Savage Island. Soundslike a blockbuster where a bunch of imprisoned
women who are working in a DiamondMine Revolt, Linda Bear's boobs pop out.
You might be shop take a yellof her name in this film because
she's bear Ash. There's a coupleuh couple of bear cubs in her sweater

my daughter here at the house.Mister Mario dropped off some savice for me

(51:50):
though. Oh nice? How wasthat? It was delicious? Wonderful.
The hot saucy dropped off was alittle hot for your uncle, edny as
hot as the wing sauce that thatidiot gave us at the Bjay's Burbank.
I would say I enjoyed it morethan I did. There we go that.
Do you watch the do you watchThe True Detective? Last night?

Uh? Yeah? Things picking upnow, there's only one more picking up
a little bit now, just intime for the final over, just in
time. You know what, I'mbeginning to think, Matt, What's that?
Something's going on in those ice cases? You know that? I feel
like it's a Scooby Do like ending. It would have got away with this

(52:35):
funting if it wasn't for you.They pulled a mask off somebody and it's
it's who Seward is exactly. It'sthe Grandma. Oh the yeah, muck
luck. It's a junk show.I mean I wouldn't. I made myself
