2:40

the NBA playing tournament was

2:42

last night, started on the Western Conference.

2:45

The Lakers take care of business. They go into

2:48

New Orleans. They beat the

2:50

Pelicans. They now set themselves

2:52

up for a first round matchup with the

2:54

Denver Nuggets. Maybe

2:57

they'll do something they didn't do last year and win a

2:59

game in that series. There's the potential of

3:01

that happening. And so the Lakers and

3:03

the Laker fan base are feeling real good about things.

3:06

And meanwhile, there's some teams that are out there that didn't

3:08

have to play at all last night. They don't have to

3:10

play later on tonight in the Eastern Conference. One of those

3:12

teams is the New York Knicks because the Knicks have had

3:15

a really good year. And the

3:17

Knicks are the two seed in the Eastern Conference. And

3:20

yet, you know, just

3:22

can't catch a break. Because

3:24

all of a sudden, somehow, some way, the

3:28

recruiting video from the Knicks to

3:30

LeBron James back in 2010, when

3:33

he was trying to make his decision on where

3:35

he wanted to go next, has

3:37

now made the rounds. And

3:39

that has now gone viral.

3:41

And apparently, the Knicks attempt

3:43

to bring LeBron James to

3:45

New York involved

3:48

them hiring the

3:50

cast from Sopranos to

3:53

discuss how they could land LeBron

3:55

James and their excitement should he become a

3:57

New York Knicks. So let's take a listen.

4:03

Tony, I'm so glad we moved to New York. Life

4:08

is so much better now. Let's

4:10

go to your house. We

4:13

are in a witness protection program. Now

4:15

we just gotta find a place for your friend LeBron to

4:17

live. What's he like? He's a modern

4:19

guy. He respects tradition. And

4:21

you're something classy on the east side. Oh, is it big enough?

4:23

It's gonna be a depend on a lot of people in New

4:26

York. Very expensive. It's

4:29

gonna be a problem. He's

4:31

gotta find something magnificent.

4:34

Something there's nothing in the world like him. One of

4:36

a kind, like he is. Well, he

4:39

is a place that gets

4:41

really lousy and sickle up. Oh,

4:44

yeah. Yeah, that's... That's

4:47

gotta be perfect for him. Allow me

4:50

to reintroduce myself. And

4:52

then it was a picture of Madison

4:54

Square Garden. And that was their attempt

4:57

to try and lure LeBron James back

4:59

then, which I would ask this. Had

5:03

he decided that that was enough to get him

5:05

to go there as opposed to South Beach, would

5:07

that have been even more insulting to

5:09

Cavs fans for the way he left? Would that

5:12

have been even worse had now that you see

5:14

that you go, wait, he left us for that?

5:17

Like South Beach I get, teaming up with his friends

5:19

I get, going to Miami I get. But

5:22

had he left for that bag of crap that they

5:24

rolled out to try and lure him? That

5:26

would have been... I

5:28

don't know. That's a hypothetical. I'm not really

5:31

going down that road. I think it'd be more

5:33

interesting to think of the success that the Knicks

5:35

could have had. I mean,

5:38

they're in the East. If LeBron's on your team,

5:40

you're going to the Finals. I

5:42

mean, you know that. You know, whatever

5:44

team they could assemble around them, obviously would have

5:46

given them a shot to win it. But

5:49

that was the history of LeBron

5:52

James in the Eastern Conference, whether it

5:54

was Cleveland or the Miami Heat, going

5:57

back to Cleveland, Miami Heat, they were

5:59

going to be in the Finals. and they're gonna have a shot at winning

6:01

a title. So to think that if you're the

6:03

New York Knicks, this

6:05

storied franchise, this

6:08

amazing fan base, Madison Square Garden,

6:12

it's an historic place and

6:14

that was what you've rolled out to go

6:16

get LeBron James. That's like all you

6:18

could do. I don't know. It

6:20

feels like a big fail. It

6:23

feels like an NBA

6:25

is known for flops. This is a huge flop

6:27

in that cave. Why

6:29

is this a relevant story is what I'm

6:31

like in my mind. It just came to

6:33

light. Like it just now was made public.

6:35

Well then that there you

6:37

go. I mean it's uh it is unfortunate that

6:40

the Knicks are celebrating one of the better years

6:42

they've had in a while and now this comes

6:44

out. You know like they just can't I

6:47

mean they can't just enjoy their success and

6:49

get ready for whoever they get in the

6:51

first round of the playoffs. Is that egregious?

6:55

The video is pretty bad. Is it? I mean it's

6:57

bad. Pretty cheesy. But still

7:00

why does it matter 24 or 14 years

7:02

later? Is it relevant? We're about

7:05

just contemplating what could have been. Could

7:08

have changed the course of their franchise. I could have

7:10

went to Pittsburgh and played for the Steelers. You

7:13

know. Why didn't you? Yeah. 20-24

7:15

years ago you know. Could

7:17

have could have slipped to eight. I don't

7:20

know. Didn't happen. I mean look we're just

7:22

talking basketball, LeBron James. That's all. I

7:25

was just curious. I wasn't following. Why

7:27

do you hate LeBron James? I don't. I don't.

7:30

Why do y'all do that? Every time. Any guy who's

7:32

up there to go you just hating on him. Here

7:34

you go. I don't get that.

7:37

Why do y'all do that to me? I

7:40

don't hate him. I don't think we did it to you. I

7:42

think you did it to yourself. No I didn't. I

7:44

was just trying to figure out why this

7:46

was relevant though. It just came out yesterday.

7:49

It made the rounds. Yeah.

7:52

All right. And

7:54

the Knicks are aren't they playing tonight? Are

7:56

they in the playing? No. They're waiting around. They're

7:59

waiting. They're waiting. They're They've made it. They had

8:01

such a good year that they're sitting around waiting

8:03

for this this gimmicky playing tournament to get Bronson

8:05

to finish up. Yeah, Bronson, he's fun. I

8:10

like his new commercial. Yeah. Speaking of

8:12

commercials, with all the the

8:14

phones on his on his jacket where

8:16

he could watch all of the games. That was Dora

8:18

March Madness. It was a nice commercial. Probably

8:21

better than the one we're talking about. What if... You

8:27

know, if you were trying to...

8:30

if somebody was recruiting you... I've never watched the

8:32

Sopranos all the way through, but I'm a fan

8:34

of the show. I've watched it. Just never made

8:36

it all the way through the show. Yeah, I

8:38

didn't either. Really? No. Never

8:40

made it all the way through the first

8:43

season. Some people would consider one

8:45

of those controversial endings to

8:47

a serious finale ever. Just with the

8:49

way it ended. It kind of left

8:52

up in the air, right? Do you think there ever be

8:54

a reboot? Yeah, left up to interpretation,

8:56

which I actually think is kind

8:58

of cool in today's world. You know, you can kind of figure

9:01

out how you feel like it ended. Should there ever

9:03

be a reboot? Like

9:06

an extension? No, because I don't think

9:08

you can do it right. Some of the cast members aren't even...

9:10

Oh, I know. There's something more built into it. Wasn't there a prequel? Wasn't

9:12

there like a prequel movie? Yeah, a movie doesn't count, Lee. I know you

9:14

go to them all the time. It doesn't count. Well, I'm

9:17

just saying there was a spin-off movie. There

9:19

was a spin-off movie? What was it called? Sopranos.

9:23

I think. Sopranos

9:25

rebooted? I mean, I'll tell you this

9:27

right now. Ray Donovan was better in

9:29

Sopranos. That's not true. That is so

9:31

far from the truth. Oh, the many

9:33

saints of Newark is what it was.

9:35

And it was Gandolfini's son

9:38

played him, young Tony Soprano. Yeah,

9:40

see, something like that. I

9:43

think that would be pretty cool. They're

9:45

coming out with a new show not

9:48

too long from now, I think,

9:50

for Ghost and Tommy from Power.

9:53

And it shows them as kids, like, before

9:56

it all happened. Stuff

9:58

like that I find to be pretty interesting. That

10:00

show sucks. Ray

10:06

Donovan was better than the sopranos. I've never seen

10:08

power. I have no idea. It was actually good.

10:14

Listen I'm just I'm gonna fire up a hot take.

10:16

I'll tell you this right now. That might be the

10:19

worst thing you've ever had. All right, I got one

10:21

better for you. Had Ray Donovan done the recruiting video

10:23

LeBron would have gone to the Knicks. What

10:26

do you think of that? Who's

10:31

the serial killer that

10:34

has the show? Oh Jeffrey Dahmer.

10:36

No, he didn't he had like

10:38

some doctor. Oh, um, Aaron Hernandez.

10:45

Which one's better Ray Donovan or Dexter? Ray

10:47

Donovan. They're completely different. Is

10:51

Ray Donovan like the

10:53

sopranos? It's closer

10:56

in nature. So Ray Donovan

10:58

is... I mean Dexter is more of about a serial

11:00

killer who's like a vigilante. I've

11:04

never watched any of them. You've never seen Ray Donovan? No,

11:06

I've never seen him. Dexter is

11:10

solid. That'll get you, yeah. I

11:12

tried to watch Dexter like the first episode and then

11:14

I was out. I don't know why I didn't get

11:16

into it. I couldn't make it. It's

11:19

just interesting. House of Dragons is coming back

11:21

this summer. I watched that all the way

11:23

through. Yeah, I might go actually

11:26

binge watch Game

11:29

of Thrones. You're gonna do Thrones again? How many? And

11:32

then watch House of Dragons. Yeah, I like it that much.

11:34

There's no way you can get through that in one day.

11:36

It's probably not enough hours. Is there enough

11:39

hours? I'll watch it. I'll go through a

11:41

whole entire season. In

11:43

one day? I'll try. I

11:46

remember I binge watched Breaking

11:48

Bad. It had me feeling very physically

11:51

ill by the time I got to the end of

11:53

it. I had to stop watching it. It's depressing. It's

11:55

still a good series. I mean, it

11:57

was amazing. It stressed me out though. stressed.

12:02

They pulled me in. You didn't

12:04

want to say go bad for a dude. He was a good

12:06

dude. Like why'd it go bad for him like that? If

12:09

I want to watch drug addicts interact, I'll

12:11

just go right around the corner. I don't

12:14

need to turn it on and get depressed

12:16

because they got like the red mountains of

12:18

New Mexico get me depressed. No, I'm not

12:20

trying to insult New Mexico.

12:22

Beautiful place. But the mountains and

12:24

the heroin, bad combination.

12:26

Dang. This is. It's

12:29

the East Plains tonight, right? Yeah.

12:32

Who we got? Atlanta and. Thank

12:34

you for transitioning. Thank you. I'm not sure where Jonas

12:37

was going with that. First of

12:39

all, I wasn't the one who steered us off

12:41

into the ditch. Lebar was hating on LeBron. We

12:44

had hating on LeBron. I was trying to keep

12:46

it together here. He asked a fair question. I

12:48

just was. And we answered it. Now we're here.

12:50

But I don't think we needed to get into

12:52

the red mountains and all that. I mean, the

12:54

heat and the Sixers and the Bulls in the

12:57

Hawks is what it was. I

12:59

mean, that heat Sixers game, that one

13:01

seems like that's a barn burner right

13:03

there, right? Like isn't there going to be

13:05

some fallout from whoever loses that game? Well,

13:08

whoever loses gets the

13:10

9-10 winner for the right

13:12

to play the Celtics, which

13:15

is between the Hawks and the Bulls.

13:17

Yeah. And so the Knicks will play

13:19

the winner of Sixers heat. Okay.

13:22

Yeah. So. And who

13:24

will play the winner of the Hawks and

13:26

Bulls? I mean, the winner of whoever wins

13:28

that playing game out

13:31

of there. So whoever wins the

13:33

Bulls-Hawks matchup, get the loser of

13:35

that. And then they'll get the

13:38

one seed, the Celtics. The Celtics.

13:40

Okay. Yeah. That's a bad

13:42

draw. Well, and I can assure you the Celtics

13:44

probably don't want to see the Miami Heat. I

13:46

was about to say, but the Celtics always play

13:50

down to their competition. Especially

13:52

Miami. They

13:54

bow down to Miami. Miami's got their

13:56

number for whatever reason. Because they bully

13:58

them. Yeah. Celtics

14:00

are more finesse. You

14:03

know, the heat, they play

14:05

like inspired, like

14:07

bang you up basketball. They

14:10

bully them. They all tough them. Yeah,

14:12

that's what I think. Which is

14:14

weird considering the reputation between South

14:17

Beach and Boston. Feels like

14:19

it would be the other way around. Yeah,

14:21

you're right. Yeah, it's just not. But the

14:23

Sixers and the Heat are evenly

14:25

matched. They're well matched and I don't know

14:27

who, if they have an answer for him

14:29

beat and

14:31

that could be the Achilles

14:34

heel for this Heat team. Yeah, well he's

14:36

been banged up. I know he's been banged

14:38

up. Is he banged up for this game?

14:40

Yeah, he's not been 100%

14:44

at all. Oh, nobody's 100%. Yeah. But is he available to me? The

14:47

entire course of the season. I know Giannis is

14:49

jacked up. By the way, Giannis is, if this

14:55

goes bad for Milwaukee with

14:58

bringing in Doc Rivers and firing a guy

15:00

that was what, 34 and 13

15:03

or whatever Adrian Griffin was,

15:05

then what do you do? Because they

15:07

thought Doc Rivers was going to be the

15:09

solution and it is not gone well. Like

15:11

they rebounded and each had a bunch of

15:13

excuses at the All-Star break and then they

15:16

rebounded after, you know, to start off the

15:18

second half of the season post All-Star break.

15:21

I mean, it feels like they got

15:23

their one title and now they're just

15:25

sort of trying to acquiesce to Giannis

15:27

any chance they get. They bring in

15:30

Damian Lillard and their defense has been

15:32

good. It just has not gone

15:34

well. And so I just wonder, is Doc

15:37

Rivers out? Like, is he, like, does he get

15:39

this small sample size and they go, we got

15:41

to go in a different direction? Because that'll put

15:43

them on their, what, their third coach in less

15:45

than a year? That seems to be like coaching

15:47

culture anymore though. You know,

15:49

like, you just get fired. You

15:52

get let go. Like, that just seems to

15:54

be the culture. Like, quick though.

15:56

I'll put it this way though, those contracts are

15:58

big enough for like... I

16:00

go get rid of me. Yeah, go ahead get rid of

16:02

me. They're paying you not to work It's

16:04

like a non compete, you know You

16:07

get you have to like move on from a company. They're like

16:09

paying you not to work It's not the worst thing in the

16:11

world for it is not it is

16:13

not you get that guarantee money up front It

16:15

is not my buyout is X Go

16:18

ahead and fire me if you want to Man,

16:22

but is that it for Doc Rivers if he

16:24

doesn't you gotta assume that's it for being

16:26

a head coach like he's gotten more opportunities than

16:28

anybody I can think I just How

16:31

many times has he been a head coach?

16:33

I don't know. It's like three or four

16:35

increased Orlando Boston the Clippers

16:39

the Sixers and Now

16:42

the box. I'm still time being ahead.

16:44

I feel there's like one missing almost

16:47

No, this is fifth with stop still that's

16:49

a lot and he's a good rock I

16:51

felt his Clippers 76ers and but he is

16:53

a good broad a good broadcaster like it

16:55

feels like it'd be a better gig and

16:57

he just kind of does it for

16:59

a little while and then decides I want to go back and coach

17:01

and You know just

17:03

and he's allowed I've shots at it How

17:07

many other coaches have gotten five chances? No,

17:09

the head coach in the NBA in any

17:11

sport and die a lot

17:14

Good luck doc. I mean you

17:17

should know by now how to do it five

17:19

times Good luck. Yeah,

17:21

it's not gone. Well For

17:23

it for the Milwaukee Milwaukee Bucks and don't look

17:25

like you're gonna have you honest Full

17:29

strength at least Yeah, no, he's

17:31

not gonna be full strength. Is he gonna be

17:33

able to play? Have we heard any

17:35

word they they don't anticipate

17:37

us Larry

17:40

Brown is up there for coach. He's got

17:42

he coached nine different teams. Is that right?

17:44

Did he really I Don't

17:47

know. I just have to look it up and I

17:52

Any code and in college as well to Larry

17:54

Brown. Yeah, but as far as typed in as

17:56

far as NBA teams But

17:58

Nuggets Nets Spurs, Clippers,

18:01

Pacers, 76ers,

18:03

Pistons, Knicks, Charlotte

18:06

Bobcats. Basketball clearly goes by

18:08

a different set of rules. I was just

18:10

going to say, man. You

18:12

either really like your job or you just don't like your

18:14

family. What

18:18

is it? How are you

18:20

able to get that many jobs? Why

18:23

would you want that many times? Why

18:25

would you be wanted that many times? At

18:28

some point, you got to believe it ain't going to work. Who

18:34

was the ninth team? Who

18:36

was the last one to hire? The last

18:38

one was the Charlotte Bobcats. There you go.

18:41

Back in 2010. There you go. They

18:43

were the Bobcats. Didn't

18:46

Larry coach Michael Jordan or something like that?

18:48

No, he didn't have that. He had something

18:50

to do with Mike, didn't he? He coached

18:52

in college afterwards, didn't he? Yeah.

18:56

He coached at SMU. Yeah. He

18:58

was the head coach there for four years. Good for him. Then

19:01

he actually was an assistant and an advisor to

19:03

the head coach most recently from Memphis. How

19:06

old is he? Old? Larry

19:08

Brown is 83 years young. Dang.

19:12

Looks great though. Yeah. Still

19:14

looks like Larry Brown? Yeah. Like

19:16

Hoffa? Not Hoffa.

19:18

Not Hoffa. Hoffman. Not

19:20

Hoffman. Who's the one that plays the

19:23

dad and the fuckers? You

19:25

know that movie. Dustin Hoffman? There you

19:27

go. That's the only time

19:30

you're allowed to get away with saying that. You can't

19:32

dump me on that because that's the movie. And

19:34

I played that loophole as many times as I

19:37

possibly can, by the way, just so y'all are

19:40

clear. Yeah. That's not a dumpable offense.

19:42

That is the name of the movie. Great.

19:45

Gaylord was his name. So think about that. What

19:47

you just said. Doc Rivers has been on top

19:49

of his name. He's like

19:51

halfway to Larry Brown. He's halfway to Larry Brown.

19:53

He's only four teams away. He's a coach for

19:56

a lot of teams. Only

19:59

four teams away. That's not bad. I

20:01

don't know. I feel like that's

20:03

four more interviews. That's four more

20:05

head coaching vacancy. Who's up

20:07

for it? I'll hire Doc. Yeah,

20:09

a lot. Doc a

20:11

coach him. Just give it to

20:14

Mikey. Mikey, I eat it. It

20:16

old P. Petrus Papadegus, the host of

23:39

the Petros and Money Show, which you

23:41

can hear on the Blowtorch AM570 LA

23:44

Sports, a Fox college football analyst, and

23:46

a man who is fired up because

23:48

he's got Lakers fever. LeBron and

23:51

AD get it done. And they've

23:53

got the Denver Nuggets in round one. Yeah.

23:56

Come on, P. Good morning, Petrus. Good

23:58

morning, everybody. Good morning. fired

24:00

up he no not really I

24:05

don't I fired up for

24:07

another one of the most competitive sweeps of

24:09

all time right you

24:11

don't think you go on a run here isn't what

24:13

that guy went or said last

24:16

year after they got swept by the Nuggets well this

24:18

was one of the most competitive sweeps I've ever seen

24:21

competitive sweep oxymoron

24:24

that is an oxymoron damn it I just

24:26

spilled my coffee son of a bitch hot

24:30

rice coffee what kind of coffee we drinking spilled

24:33

coffee now yeah it's on the floor now

24:35

Brady floor coffee yeah anyway I didn't was

24:37

it was it instant or was it did

24:39

you did you press it did it like

24:42

it was your line of questioning that made

24:44

me spell yeah all right

24:46

look I'm not that into the Lakers versus

24:48

the Nuggets if they win

24:50

a couple games then okay and we'll talk

24:52

and I don't know I might have to

24:55

if the king goes on a playoff run

24:57

crowning himself and telling all

24:59

kinds of fallacies and reading the first two

25:02

pages of a book I

25:05

I think I might have to go

25:07

on vacation you're not going to give

25:10

him his props if he wins yeah

25:12

come on petrol's sure I'll

25:14

let somebody else do it oh

25:16

plenty of people give LeBron his problem that

25:18

is very true he's great that

25:20

is very true what a wonderful person I'm so

25:22

glad he's in Southern California moving

25:25

his children from private school to private school

25:27

and trying to control our AAU

25:29

world I mean that's the American dream

25:31

it sure is I'm happy he's here

25:34

renting the Lakers renting them leasing

25:36

the Lakers hey finding a team that's

25:38

one of the most iconic brands in

25:40

the history of sport and

25:43

bullying their weak ownership into

25:46

acquiescence to all of his needs now let's

25:48

say they do get beat by the Nuggets

25:50

which is what's supposed to happen what

25:53

happened last year it's

25:55

what's happened perennially LeBron

25:58

is they had their one championship

26:00

in the bubble, but everything else,

26:02

like they've not even been competitive in

26:04

the Pacific division. They

26:06

were last in the Pacific division this year. Last.

26:10

And it was a little weird last night, right, to

26:12

see like the two Kings

26:14

of the NBA, the two guys that have

26:16

made the NBA what it is right now,

26:19

if you like it or not, Steph Curry and LeBron,

26:22

playing in the play end. And

26:24

all of the great players and stuff are like

26:26

young dudes, all the teams that are really good

26:30

are young guys just waiting for these

26:32

old heads to get beat up and try to make it

26:34

there. That's kind of odd, felt

26:36

a little backwards, but whatever, yes,

26:39

NBA talk, the Lakers have won,

26:42

and man, they're gonna take on those nuggets

26:44

and there might be a competitive sweep. I

26:46

can't wait to hear, what's that

26:48

skinny nose guy on TV that's

26:50

like a LeBron propaganda arm? Oh, oh.

26:53

Nick Wright. Yeah, what

26:55

him and you know, the fat

26:57

guy in Ohio. How

26:59

did you describe him again? A propaganda

27:02

arm? No. No, the skinny

27:04

nose. Yes, the skinny nose. He's

27:07

got, he looks like a point word. Oh,

27:11

damn. Sesame, I'm sorry. Oh,

27:14

damn. I'm

27:16

not on one of those like hot opinion

27:18

shows. You know, my opinion's not hot enough.

27:21

Hey, Petro, I

27:23

am wondering though, if

27:26

you had to predict. Am I not allowed to say

27:28

that about that guy? Is there somewhere else? I don't

27:30

know, that's not right. I just. Is

27:32

that your boy, Brady? No, I just, I

27:35

never know where you're gonna go. It's my favorite part

27:37

of that. Can we do this, because I

27:39

want as much time with you as possible. I

27:42

don't want to do the BQ news. Could we just have

27:44

Petro saw it for the next segment? I have to do

27:46

the actual news. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah,

27:48

I have to do KFI for, I've

27:51

been, I want extra money in the UFL.

27:53

They won't hire me, Fox, to do the

27:55

UFL stuff. It's hilarious.

27:57

I want extra money. I

28:00

do the news in the morning. I fill

28:02

in on a Bill Handel show. What up,

28:04

Handel? What time? I'll

28:07

go today probably from 6 to as long as

28:09

they want to keep me. Okay, but could you

28:11

be with us at least? Usually from like 6

28:14

to 7.30. Could you be with us at least

28:16

for our last second of the fall? Can you

28:18

be with us? I've got to study my news

28:20

stories. Look, I have a whistleblower urges Boeing to

28:22

ground all 787 Dreamliners after safety warning. I

28:25

saw that. Should I be flying? I love that.

28:28

Is that temperature seated? We're

28:30

on to the next story. Third story, half of

28:32

Iranian missiles launched in Israel. We're duds.

28:35

House delivers impeachment articles against Mayorkas.

28:37

I've got to figure out who that is. By

28:41

the way, Lee Dilap has another potential candidate

28:44

for your news story that you've got to

28:46

do with Handel coming up. Oh yeah, the

28:48

Disneyland expansion. I'm sure you're hot on that.

28:50

I'm excited. Oh yes, we do have that.

28:52

They want to expand. Well,

28:54

that is an interesting thing, right?

28:56

Because Disneyland is in

28:59

a city. Yeah, it's landlocked. Well, yeah, it's

29:01

been developed all the way around. You've got

29:04

the Magic Castle over there and all kinds

29:06

of crap that is even more depressing than

29:08

Disneyland. And Disneyland

29:10

is depressing. Don't

29:13

be mistaken. Whenever there's a sign that says

29:15

the happiest place on earth, beware.

29:17

My ass. Honestly, beware. Pick

29:19

your kids there. Tell me your parents

29:22

are happy. It's Disney World. It's like

29:24

Disneyland is like the cheap knockoff of

29:26

Disney World. Well, no, because Disneyland was

29:28

first, and Disneyland is where Walt Disney

29:31

built his kingdom and where Disneyland was

29:33

his vision. All

29:35

right, with you East Coast weirdos, I'm just telling

29:37

you, Disneyland is the truth. Knockoff

29:40

version? How could it be a knockoff

29:43

version when it was first? I get that. I get

29:45

where you're coming from. Is this going back to the

29:47

initial playoff with a highest speed? They just

29:50

stopped Oregon and the Pac-12 looks soft. Is that what

29:52

we're going back to? It doesn't do with the college

29:54

football playoff. And don't try to do that. 2014,

29:57

Pedro's popping in against the avocado room in

29:59

Fox Sports. He couldn't take it.

30:01

He couldn't take it to Pac-Troll. He gets the

30:03

Pac-Trolls gonna look soft. They're gonna look soft. Hmm,

30:06

and they did. Yeah Was

30:09

I wrong? I drove in from the

30:11

desert to watch that. It

30:14

ran through everyone that came. It was

30:16

terrible. But uh No,

30:19

I- Orlando's is better. You're trying to say

30:21

that Disneyland is like GoBots and Disney World

30:23

is like Transformers. Yes. Okay, and then second

30:25

is like look we'll do this so much

30:27

better. Yeah I mean, yeah, well cuz they

30:30

have land. They have land. Yeah, and they've

30:32

done very well with it But I will

30:34

say this I mean, I hate Disneyland. I

30:36

hate it. I'm not you ever liked it.

30:38

I hate everything You know that I do

30:40

like Knott's very fun. None.

30:43

Disneyland I went

30:45

I took my kids for one

30:47

of their birthdays and you know They did

30:49

we they built a droid or whatever in

30:51

the droid building factory We have to make

30:53

an appointment and we went

30:55

to the Star Wars place And

30:58

that thing is damn cool. Yeah, like they did

31:01

a really great job with that I you know,

31:03

I mean where every you know, the kids yell

31:05

at like the Imperial Guards and they look over

31:07

and like settle down Right,

31:10

they do a really good job You know that

31:12

you know, I hate to be rarely positive but

31:14

I will say that that that part of they

31:16

did a really cool Yeah, and then you see

31:18

some guy in his 40s walking around the Chewbacca

31:20

back. Oh, I can't take it Yeah, and then

31:22

they have these clubs. We've talked about the clubs,

31:24

you know like Geppetto's

31:27

Raiders, you know, and they all wear

31:29

like they have like social clubs and

31:31

these dorks that wear like

31:33

vests Like sharing a biker gang

31:36

and they walk around Disneyland in that way We

31:38

made up one of our own but we have

31:40

never had the vest made. Huh? We're the real

31:42

boys Real that's what it's called

31:45

We're the real boys, you know, some people might

31:47

take that the wrong way Hahaha,

31:56

stand on business the

32:00

real boy. The real boy. The real

32:02

boy is running Main Street, bitch. Oh

32:04

no. Don't set trip

32:07

around the corn dog stand.

32:10

Oh no.

32:12

Hey, Petrus,

32:14

I have to ask you, let's

32:16

just say this does turn into a competitive

32:18

sweep and LeBron

32:21

and the Lakers are down 3-zip.

32:23

Oh, Vic will predict the sweep.

32:26

Yeah, four games in a

32:28

row. Well, I'm also wondering like

32:30

how far into the sweep does

32:33

LeBron James develop a mysterious limp?

32:35

Oh, you're right. Like when

32:38

does that happen? Is like down 2-0, down 3-0.

32:40

He says groin injuries over the years, right? Is

32:42

that the biggest issue? Right. What was the issue

32:44

when he was in like that the

32:46

suit with the shorts and

32:50

picked up his briefcase and walked away. Oh,

32:52

his hand. Like he had his hand in

32:54

it. Yeah, his hand was the issue

32:56

then. From the

32:58

mutual masturbation of his legacy. Dang.

33:03

Dang. Is that double the- Dude, it's hard to live.

33:06

It's hard to get nailed by the king in LA

33:08

every day. It's hard. When

33:10

he came to LA, it really sucked. I

33:13

wish he would have stayed somewhere else. Petrus

33:16

is on one today. You guys started with

33:18

the LeBron stuff. LeBron bugs me. I told

33:21

you he used to bug me and now it's like having

33:23

a dictator. It's like,

33:25

God, I like that dictator before LeBron. Geez. I

33:27

miss the Dom. Geez. Where

33:34

do you get your material for it? Do you sit

33:36

around and think about like, how does this come out

33:39

of you, Petro? I don't know. I do the job.

33:42

It just comes out of

33:44

you. It just do the job. It comes out of you.

33:47

It's my work. Yeah, LeBron, have you listened to

33:49

Petrus before? Yes, I have. But I'm

33:52

just saying, where does it come from though? Like, it's

33:55

all new. I wish. Petrus will think I'm blowing. smoke.

34:01

He's like a Renaissance man. He really

34:03

is super knowledgeable about a vast array

34:05

of topics and things. Great

34:07

point. This is the literal way. I'm not

34:09

a black of all trades, a master of

34:11

none. The master of none. But you know,

34:13

look, I can't, as smart as

34:15

I am, I can't get

34:18

one UFL game in 2020. Yeah, but you

34:20

know what though? Listen, and

34:23

no disrespect to anybody calling UFL games,

34:26

they can't break down which statues have

34:28

the best putos across the country and

34:30

you can. Yeah. And if your

34:32

name's Jake, but you should have

34:34

some knowledge. You

34:38

should be a put so insider. Really

34:41

a real insider. Wow.

34:45

So what else do you guys

34:47

want to talk about? I'm sorry.

34:49

You know what? I got to be honest. Like I used

34:51

to do the job for real and

34:53

really like travel Fox used to pay me

34:55

to pay for me to

34:58

travel all over as many Pac-12

35:00

schools as I could to

35:02

see spring practice and all that. And

35:06

I used to pay close attention and watch the

35:08

televised spring games and try to like really

35:11

stay up on it. And I don't

35:13

know what it was maybe four years ago, even

35:15

before the transfer portal, when they started

35:17

playing freshmen like a lot, you know, it

35:21

just doesn't, it doesn't

35:23

help me do the job to pay

35:25

attention to what people are doing in the spring anymore.

35:28

You know, it's crazy about it. The teams

35:30

change so dramatically. They change, but

35:32

even then they're so concerned about a player

35:35

getting injured. And I know that's always been

35:37

the case, right? I mean, this

35:39

goes back to, you know, LeVar and Petra,

35:41

you guys playing and like, there was always

35:43

games used to literally be waterless. It was

35:45

a bloodbath. Yeah, there was a pile of

35:48

buying. Our game was a game. Oh,

35:50

God. Except for the quarterback didn't get hurt. Right.

35:52

I mean, everybody else is full-death. But

35:55

I recall if you would always have a few guys that

35:57

like, they would play a few plays, but not like the

35:59

whole thing. know like they would try to protect them

36:01

in some way and nowadays not in our

36:03

game I talked to one of the coaches and it is

36:06

I'm not gonna see who it was I'll put

36:08

it this way the player just got there and I

36:10

go how much are you gonna play is like oh he's

36:12

getting the star treatment he's very

36:14

gonna play I'm like are you serious I'm

36:17

gonna get this first spring game I get this first chance

36:20

in Columbus and they're

36:22

like no no no too good can't risk injury oh

36:25

like all right it's different nowadays and Fox

36:27

is gonna play the Michigan spring game this

36:29

week this weekend with Joel Brady

36:31

did the Ohio State and

36:33

of course you know we air these things I'm sure

36:36

it's in the deal or whatever but

36:38

it is interesting how spring

36:40

football used to be like bring your lunch pail

36:42

and let's go to war and now

36:45

it just seems like an interesting

36:47

precursor to the transfer portal where

36:49

you're half-assing a team that won't even be

36:51

there in the fall most likely and

36:54

every team is different and in the midst of

36:56

different circumstances but it just

36:58

doesn't help me do the job to

37:00

pay attention to what anybody's doing in the spring I

37:03

mean I was an actor who has don't

37:05

even come out of July I was asking

37:07

quickly about Colorado just because I know we've

37:09

talked about their strategy and coach prime but

37:12

they will literally have an entirely

37:14

new starting offensive line the last

37:16

year's offensive line gone all the

37:18

portal all transfer out they

37:20

got a whole new group coming in I guess this

37:23

can it be successful like is this gonna

37:26

work long never seen anybody have you ever

37:28

seen anybody successful with an

37:30

offensive line would they run

37:32

it like a summer camp no no

37:34

right I mean but I saw the guy

37:37

that there's some of the names that transferred one of the

37:39

guys was a started four games at

37:41

O line later in the year because of an injury

37:43

the other one was a guy who came started

37:45

ten games was their starting right

37:48

tackle he came from Kent State

37:50

so right he would have come with Sean Lewis

37:53

who they treated very poorly Dion did and

37:55

and now he's the head coach at

37:57

San Diego State so you know

37:59

circumstance substantially you look at all these guys and you

38:01

kind of say, yeah, I can see why he transferred and I

38:03

can see why they had him in there in the first place.

38:06

One was from Old Dominion. The other

38:08

one, O-line wise, was from Kent. But

38:10

they were also guys they recruited to come in there.

38:13

And once it didn't work out, they're out. Yeah,

38:15

the cornerback, the whole deal. The problem is,

38:18

you know, the wider view, you

38:20

can't change out your offensive line every year and expect

38:22

to have any kind of success. You

38:25

look at the teams that are good. You look at the teams that

38:28

compete every year. Usually

38:30

their offensive line has been together for years and

38:33

they plug in a guard with the transfer

38:35

or a young player and they have a

38:37

swing guy that comes in and can play,

38:40

you know, both guards, maybe center. That's

38:42

the sign of a healthy offensive line.

38:45

Transferring them all out and bringing them all in every year.

38:47

It kind of feels like you're chasing your

38:49

money at a casino at 3 in the morning with

38:51

wild eyes sprinting to the ATM. Well,

38:55

listen, P, I got another story for you that

38:57

38:59

it in your list. A

And right now, it's time to close up shop with a

42:58

little something we do every single week called this. Yeah,

43:01

yeah, yeah, no. News. Turn on

43:03

the news. Let's go to the news

43:05

desk. What's the good news? There's Brady

43:07

Quinn. Yeah. And today's news starts

43:09

in the great state of Florida. A

43:12

27-year-old man was arrested Saturday evening, driving

43:14

108 miles per hour on I-95, and

43:19

apparently it was because, according to the affidavit,

43:22

he was in a hurry to see his

43:24

girlfriend, and he went on

43:26

to say some other things. Basically that she's very

43:28

talented, is how I would put it. Oh. Yeah,

43:32

that's what I'm waiting for, him. Okay. Okay.

43:38

Is I-95, I-95, is that the

43:40

freeway where? I-95, that goes

43:42

all the way, all the way up north. Yeah. Yeah.

43:45

Is that the one where there was like a video of

43:47

that guy driving a tractor on it, or

43:50

something like that? Yep, yep, a video of a guy driving

43:52

a tractor. There's been a guy who was on the hood

43:54

of a semi, driving on the highway. All right. Many

43:57

of things. Very good. Very

43:59

good. Hopefully he

44:01

made it in time. Apparently

44:03

not because he got arrested for reckless

44:05

stop. How about this, a 32 year

44:08

old was arrested for stealing a pet

44:10

lab. He said he was looking for

44:12

a lost dog instead though he

44:15

stole a lot of the back dog. I was thinking about Mr. Sticks. What

44:17

would you do, LeVar, if someone tried to come

44:19

in and steal Mr. Sticks? I got my guy

44:21

chipped. So if you take

44:24

him, I can track him. And when I find

44:26

you, you just hope that the authority finds him

44:28

first. Because if I find

44:30

you, end
