WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:05.719
And we continue on Fred Rogan Rodney
peat get ready for Thanksgiving A five seventy

2
00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:09.919
LA Sports two hours for us today. So Rodney, let us not delay.

3
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.759
Lakers taking on Dallas last night,
a big one over Utah last night.

4
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:18.519
Welcome on, Dan Whitey, our
insider from the LA Times and Dan,

5
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:23.480
Happy Thanksgiving? How are you?
Guys? I am great. Happy

6
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:26.960
Thanksgiving as well to both of you
and to the listeners. And guys,

7
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:33.039
I have to tell you, it's
refreshing when you're around professional athletes and rich

8
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.320
people and famous people. Delay that
and my job forces me to be to

9
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:41.200
be reminded of the things that make
us, you know, kind of all

10
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.479
the same, sure, and like
a love for Thanksgiving is one of those

11
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.479
things. And guys, and after
watching the Lakers play four and season tournament

12
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:51.159
games, apparently a lust for five
hundred thousand dollars also, I think that

13
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.560
unites us. All is one,
Dan and one And that's my point.

14
00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:00.280
I brought it up earlier. I
think it's exceptionally exciting that the Lakers are

15
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.920
going to advance to the quarterfinals of
the in season tournament. Rodney, Yeah,

16
00:01:03.959 --> 00:01:07.120
Rodney, and Kevin bat asked me, what does that mean? And

17
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.480
I responded, honestly, I don't
know, but I know this. I

18
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.359
think it's good and I think it's
exciting. Do you think this in season

19
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.560
tournament is working so far? Absolutely? I mean, I think it's so.

20
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.319
I've talked to people within the league. I've talked to people within ownership

21
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.760
groups, people in management, players, coaches, et cetera about this thing,

22
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.480
and yeah, I mean I think
you know. I mean, look,

23
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.599
could everybody explain it? No?
Does everybody know what the trophy is

24
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:38.400
called? Absolutely not. But I
think that the league has done a good

25
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.680
job. I know when an nd
season tournament game is playing, because it

26
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:49.239
looks like my TV is gone insane. You know, I think they've done

27
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:55.439
a good job marketing it, like
the Michael Imperial League heist commercial, but

28
00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:00.480
you haven't seen it is awesome.
It's a great spot. And then and

29
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.439
then now, you know, once
we get out of this pool play phase,

30
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.719
it like now it just becomes a
tournament that like a single elimination tournament,

31
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:14.159
and we're all exposed the single elimination
basketball tournament. We all know what

32
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:15.560
that looks like. You know what
I mean, The Lakers will play a

33
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:21.120
quarterfinal game. The confusion over the
schedule, like, should they lose and

34
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.719
they will play another regular season game
at the end of the week instead of

35
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:28.280
the semi final in Vegas, It's
like, that's not for anyone else to

36
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:30.800
worry about, Like what, like, I'll handle that, you know,

37
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:36.360
let the traveling secretary figure that out. All the public should care about is

38
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.599
that the Lakers have won a game. They are now in a position to

39
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:44.080
play in another tournament. Now the
real tournament starts, right the courts will

40
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.280
stay insane. They will play one
more game at home. If should they

41
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:52.560
win that they are off to Vegas
for the semi finals. Then who do

42
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:57.639
they play? We don't know.
That's what I wanted to know. That

43
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.599
they forgot the George Washington sketch.
Fro mcgovery's who can say it's impossible it

44
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:07.520
is. We will know whence Pool
play completely wraps up. The Lakers are

45
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.520
overachievers. They finished, you know, they're done with their games. There'll

46
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:17.039
be more turnament games, I believe
on Friday. Oh I'm more. I

47
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.759
mean I think it could be Phoenix, it could be Sacramento, could be

48
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:25.439
Minnesota, chances could be Denver.
Yeah, greatheart, Yeah, and we

49
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.919
still don't know. You don't win
the trophy. Guy, Guys, the

50
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:34.159
road to the trophy that no one
can name is not a not an easy

51
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:39.319
and the strongest can can can bring
home the cup that will someday assuredly be

52
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:47.800
named after the Timberwolves and the games
I would tell people to watch is watch

53
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:52.120
Timberwolves and Sacramento, see what happens, because one of those teams is going

54
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.840
to win their group. And then
then after that, I think the the

55
00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:00.719
Sons of a game against Portland that
if they win in a low out could

56
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:06.080
put them in position to be the
wild card team, which the Lakers seemingly

57
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:12.479
will be the number one seed in
the West because of their exceptional point differential.

58
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.319
They're like plus seventy four in tournament
games and then their three tournament went

59
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.560
or four tournament wins, and so
then they will they will host whoever the

60
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:25.160
wild card is, which is the
team at the best record, and then

61
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.959
all the fiam up tab breakers of
teams that did not win the group.

62
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:34.959
Rolls off the tongue, guys,
easy breezing alight, it rolls off the

63
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:40.040
tongue. Dan is uh Lebron's minutes
last night that was good to see.

64
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:44.439
Twenty four minutes a d I think
at twenty nine minutes. Is that something

65
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.399
that they want to try to lean
to where they can have games like that

66
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:53.519
every you know, every two or
three so teams. Yeah, yeah,

67
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.439
they would love to blow teams out
right me, like honestly, like,

68
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.680
I mean right, like this is
like as good as it, as good

69
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:02.879
as a night can go. With
the exception of Camradish injuring his groin,

70
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.240
he won't play it night against Dallas, But yes, you would love to

71
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:11.600
reduce the stress on these Lebron minutes. And to me, it is one

72
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.439
of the kind of like questions that's
lingering about the start for the Lakers.

73
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.160
The Lakers now three games over five
hundred. I believe managed six is playing

74
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:25.040
pre good basketball right now, but
granted not playing the world's hardest schedule of

75
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:29.560
all time, I think it's fair
to say it has been like sort of

76
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.720
like, you know, they really
needed Lebron to play pretty well to get

77
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.680
to this point, and you know, my colleague Jian Hernandez sort of wrote

78
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.800
about that is like, you know, is that sustainable? Like does that

79
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:44.279
show you that you know, this
team is gonna have to find other ways

80
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.160
and you know, eventually you know, certainly once when things get when things

81
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.879
get harder, you know, can
they can they do this? I don't

82
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:54.879
know, you know, I mean
I think guys, Lebron is at a

83
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.480
level right now that is I mean
me say this all the time, but

84
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:00.160
like I mean, the guy,
you can just mark it down in pen

85
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.879
pretty much. He's gonna score twenty
points. He's gonna be over fifty percent

86
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:08.319
shooting, and he's completely changed the
way that he plays. He's gone from

87
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:13.959
a guy that was like his athleticism
was just unmatched to now a guy who's

88
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:18.920
so much stronger, you know,
going through players more than around them or

89
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:23.199
over them. And you know he's
shooting. The lights are right now.

90
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:29.279
He's playing incredible basketball. So because
of there are limited minutes last night,

91
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:30.519
it is a back to back,
it's a home back to back, so

92
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.959
I don't count it as a back
to back. I count it, yeah,

93
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:36.000
I mean, I think we'll see
those guys tonight. I mean,

94
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:44.839
it would it would stack as like
a conceivable quote unquote rest night for for

95
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.600
Lebron James. I think it would
be a I think it would be a

96
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:53.240
thing where sorry, my son just
walked in, guys, I apologize he

97
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:57.759
was out at the store. I
think, uh tis the season. Guys.

98
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.439
What kind of a father would I
be if I just said get out

99
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:02.439
of here, son, Dandy's working? What what? What? Horrible?

100
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.040
Bad? Would I say? Keep
it? Doubt I'm on the phone.

101
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:10.639
I would never. I would never
do that and then lock the door.

102
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:15.879
Guys, But I think you know
what was I saying. I totally forgot.

103
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:19.439
I'm sorry, No, it was
the back to back and this might

104
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:23.160
be a situation. Yeah, yeah, I think it might be a res

105
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.639
situation with the road if they have
coming up. They have a pretty tough

106
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:31.079
trip. They fly to Cleveland on
Friday, play there Saturday, playing Philly

107
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:38.439
on Monday, Detroit on Wednesday,
Oklahoma City on Thursday. And this is

108
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:44.959
going to be a pretty hellish next
three or four weeks of schedule for them

109
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.480
there on the road a lot.
Now you add the n seasoned tournament stuff

110
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:53.199
in there too. But I mean, he's I'm playing, He's wanted to

111
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:57.079
play, and he always wants to
play, So I would not be I

112
00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.800
would not be stunted all lebron jaws
on the courtunate. I expect to have

113
00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:05.600
to for sure. Yeah. A
mark Stein reported that Zach Lavine trade.

114
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.879
You know, roamers talks, all
that stuff is kind of put on hold

115
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.680
right now. Is that the case
that they're just focused on getting guys like

116
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.600
Vincent and Vanderbilt back healthy and then
we'll see how it goes into the trade

117
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.720
deadline? Yeah, I mean,
look like so you know, and I

118
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.879
wrote about this like for one,
like the Lakers like legally, like because

119
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:26.800
of the way their contracts are set
up with the guys they sign in this

120
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.279
summer's agency, like they can't make
a trade yet, like those players who

121
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.279
sound of reading are eligible to be
traded to the middle of December, and

122
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.320
then another handful of them are eligible
to be traded to the middle of January.

123
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:39.919
So like, I mean, this
was always like a kind of more

124
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:46.120
down the road saying and guys,
I just it's not like they're frothing at

125
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.879
the mouth over this deal or any
deal for exactly being at this point,

126
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.960
I think it's pretty widely known.
And you know, so that's put the

127
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.720
Lakers is of this on the new
YouTube show that Brad Turner and I are

128
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:03.240
doing. So that's good pluck today
that yeah, that you know that more

129
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.519
interesting crews, to be honest,
sort of like everybody you know. I

130
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.399
think if you look at like the
guy, that you can more easily see

131
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.639
how this player would impact your chances
of the championship. You take the guy

132
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.320
you know who's one of the best
perimeter defenders in the league, you'd add

133
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.960
him to your mix at you know, nine ten million dollars a year instead

134
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.799
of a guy who you know is
supremely talented but would be you know,

135
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:33.279
undergoing a pretty severe role change at
forty million. And I Rodnie, I

136
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:35.840
think you could probably speak to this
a little bit. Although it's it's kind

137
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.600
of different in football. I think
one of the hardest things that I've seen

138
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:48.080
in sports is you watch all star
talent like kind of move into like a

139
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.799
lower place on a hierarchy and like
have to figure out how to like affect

140
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.799
winning and help it helping a team
when they're like not the guy anymore.

141
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:01.840
I think it's like it's so challenging, and people, I think a lot

142
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.120
of times look at these guys and
say, oh, he's selfish, he's

143
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.440
not making the right sacrifices not to
like it's almost like speaking an entirely different

144
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.080
language, like being a role player
versus being a stuff. Is it that

145
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.639
it is? It's it's a very
difficult thing for a lot of guys,

146
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:22.840
like you said, being being the
guy that that was counted on to make

147
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:24.600
things happen for the team to go, it had to go through him.

148
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:31.320
Uh to being a quote role player
on a on a different game changes rhythm.

149
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.080
Yeah, absolutely, it changes your
rhythms. It changes your I mean

150
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.679
like I was talking to a player
the other day about this, you know,

151
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:41.840
a young player then, but he
was like struggling to try to find

152
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:43.480
his footing, and it's just like
you know, I mean, he's been

153
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:48.080
the best player, the most talent
player, and every team he's ever been

154
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.480
on ever like with the exceptional like
some like you know, traveling AU also

155
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:58.080
stuff in the summer, but like
by and large, top tier recruit,

156
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.399
you know, amazing heights player,
top top notch college player, and it's

157
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.519
like you get in the league and
then it's like, oh, well,

158
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.120
like all the stuff that I used
to be doing it doesn't quite work as

159
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.399
well now or I'm not giving the
same opportunities to do it now, and

160
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.919
so now I've got to like pick
my spot. So I think, like

161
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.759
when it comes to titnessan big picture
when it comes to Lakers and it comes

162
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.799
to like the trades that they'll look
at or eventually look at, that that

163
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.120
is a challenge. And I think
that there are still some scars, you

164
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.480
know, from the inability to figure
out the right role from Russell Russell Westbrook

165
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:30.200
when I came to adding a third
star. So you know, you're taking

166
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.159
on a pretty big risk with Zach
Lavine, not to mention I mean,

167
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:37.200
certainly financially, but not even to
mention too like the knee issues that he's

168
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.480
had. You know, I would
not be surprised to see if their sites

169
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:46.279
were set on someone a little more
accustomed to playing around great players than a

170
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:48.559
guy that would sort of have to
learn how to do it who could do

171
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.519
it and it might be great at
it, but would certainly be learning how

172
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.080
to do it. Hey, Dan, before we let you go, final

173
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.480
question quickly, Clippers in San Antonio
tonight you'll hear the game here on the

174
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.000
radio station, I think at five. But you know, are they starting

175
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.759
to now figure it out with James
Harden for sure? I mean, and

176
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.159
I think one of the biggest things
guys is like James Garden game likes underneath

177
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:15.279
him. It's impossible to replicate when
you're working out on your own, the

178
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.279
stress and and what it takes cardio
wise, would it takes strength wives to

179
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.600
play an NBA game, particularly to
play an NBA game with the ball in

180
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.600
your hands? As much as James
Harden has it. I think there's obviously

181
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:30.639
still giant steps that need to be
taken for them in terms of how to

182
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:35.080
play with one another. But but
I think it's it's starting to settle a

183
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:41.320
little bit. And you know this
is where the like their talent should carry

184
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:46.480
them well they figure out their identity. But for them to be the kind

185
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:48.919
of team that they want, the
kind of team that Steve Bomber is paying

186
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:54.279
for, They're gonna have to eventually
figure out an identity. But but right

187
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.440
now, at least, you know, you'll settle for talent, and they've

188
00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.840
got tons of it. And real
quick, Dan, real quick, are

189
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.440
you the Are you the big pop
at home cooking Thanksgiving? Are you the

190
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.200
man who puts it on the grill
to I will tell you I I do

191
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.759
some sides I do. I will
not be doing the ticket this for my

192
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:11.879
mother in laws. I am actually
though, guys. As soon as I

193
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:13.759
hang up the phone, I will
be baking two apple pies. Okay,

194
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:20.000
lovely, Okay, okay, you're
a baker. I mean that's like just

195
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:26.559
basically following instructions and measuring like it's
it's my level of baking is really could

196
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.320
be done by a monkey. Like
it's just like if you knew what a

197
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.200
cup was and you do where the
flower was, Like it looks by the

198
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.200
way, when I've done, it
looks like it was done by some sort

199
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:41.919
of zoo anable because there is sugar
and flour everywhere. I'm a real mess

200
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:46.559
guy it I love it all right? Well, Dan, Happy Thanksgiving to

201
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:48.960
you and the family. Give to
you guys, Save to you guys,

202

and uh and again I'm grateful for
our talks and we enjoyed them. All

203
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.200
right. The holidays are here and
it's time to start thinking about gifts.

204
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.039
Get the gift of a sporting event, concert, or theater event from Barry's

205

that event you want to go to.

Letberry's Tickets dot Com hook you up
today. All right? As we approach

207
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:11.759
Thanksgiving, we desperately need our spirituality. Oh yeah, is it still Native

208
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:15.320
American Heritage Month? Do we know
that it's still a little different, Fred.

209
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.960
Okay, remember he started in the
middle of October. Sometimes you just

210
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.559
makes stuff up, all right,
So then we will have a Native American

211
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.200
hig coup today as well. That's
right. Let's keep it moving. Beautiful

212
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:31.399
Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving.

229
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:17.759
amazing holiday and all the blessings.
Talk about a basketball blessing. How cool

230
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:26.639
is it to be balling on the
islands Honolulu Maui Invitational, UCLA Gonzaga tonight.

231
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:32.600
But first they took care of business
with Shamanad the Silver Swords Ronnie hit

232
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:45.200
Me hit him. Oh yeah,
thank you, Uncle Don don Ho of

233
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:52.879
course, the legendary Hawaiian entertainer laying
it down. But the Bruins, you

234
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.519
know, they took care of business. They'd be shamming on by twenty eight.

235
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:00.360
I mean, Kansas beat him by
twenty seven, if you want to

236
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:06.920
put into that kind of perspective.
They got off to a twenty eight four

237
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:17.480
start. Silver Swords came back but
then the pooh poo platters took over again

238
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:21.119
with the pooh pooh. Vic,
well, I'm just getting into the spirit

239
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:26.079
of the islands. But the bruin
turnovers in the first half they were as

240
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:32.599
thick as the whole new The green
turtles sunning themselves on the north shore of

241
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:38.759
Oahu the Nayakia Beach at sunset.
They had fourteen turnovers at the half.

242
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.079
Have you guys ever seen the green
turtles sunning themselves in Hawaii? I'm not,

243
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:53.480
Vic, No, what a beautiful
sight, the green turtles the Hanu

244
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.440
I'm i'm I am a devotee of
the of the green turtles. You know,

245
00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:00.920
I don't know if you guys knew
that. Well, it doesn't surprise

246
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:08.559
me. Vic. Sebastian Mack remember
that name. He is your stud for

247
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:15.480
UCLA this year. Sensational slasher.
He's a sensational slasher to the wop sixteen

248
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:18.440
points led the Brewers. He at
five steals. No, he let up

249
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:22.720
Marquette, but good he did,
just couldn't finish it off. But look

250
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:30.279
great. So number eleven Gonzaga tonight
from Honolulu, the fifth place game.

251
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:37.279
But this is a tremendous game.
It's a bit of robbery with the Zags.

252
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.759
Tip at nine from Honolulu, listened
to it right here after the Clipper

253
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.799
game. Nice Am five to seven
the LA Sports. What a double header

254
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.720
tonight right here on the station.
We're playing all the games for you right

255
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:56.000
if the Clipper San Antonio. Of
course, whenever UCLA plays Gonzaga. The

256
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:59.440
videos floating around social media of UCLA's
big comeback I think it was in two

257
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:03.960
thousand and five with the Adam Morrison
turning the ball over, UCLA having that

258
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:07.400
great comeback in the final like thirty
seconds and Morrison's crying on the court during

259
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:15.119
the NCAA tournament. Yeah, yeah, do you remember it well? Last

260
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:21.079
we forgetting more recent years, the
Jalen Suggs bank shot from half court all

261
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:23.039
hard to knock him out of the
national title game. Awful, that one

262
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:29.640
hurt. So you're right, Vic, some epic games between these two schools,

263
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:37.400
tremendous runs, nice and bit of
rivalry. West Coast Hope supremacy.

264
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:45.559
And again, why isn't UCLA in
the top ten in America. I'm with

265
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:49.559
Mick Cronin, Man, it's disrespect
to UCLA not to put a number one

266
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:52.440
in the top twenty five of the
early rankings, you know, just coming

267
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.480
out. I know it's early in
the season, but this is UCLA man,

268
00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:00.559
you mix put together with a sensatial
group kids. Man, you saw

269
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:03.640
how they played with number four Marquettes. They usually could have beaten the number

270
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:17.200
four Golden Eagles. And Mick Angry
and Honolulu he still talks. Doesn't matter,

271
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:19.599
It doesn't matter, all right,
Vic has more to talk about what's

272
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:22.839
going on in Honolulu? Maybe a
sumo update and the haikup when we come

273
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:29.599
back. Yeah, let's keep it
going with that spirituality. Well we got

274
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:30.920
cut off a little bit last time, but let's I don't know how that

275
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:34.480
happened. How did that happen?
I don't know a TP keep doing your

276
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:38.279
thing. Come on, Vic,
fellas, look at me. I'm covelling

277
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:45.279
for this beautiful looming Thanksgiving holiday again. Yes, happy, joyous, blissful

278
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:51.039
Thanksgiving to all all our listeners.
Are beloved listeners, Thank you so much.

279
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:57.319
Happy Thanksgiving to all you guys,
all your families and everyone's family.

280
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:04.599
This isn't indeed a sensational, sensational
time, and we give thanks for all

281
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:11.680
of our blessings. And are you
like me? No? Are you like

282
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:21.440
me. I'm getting vibrations of Yamamoto. Oh you feel Yamamoto? Huh coming

283
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:26.720
huh, I'm feeling some Yamamoto.
I'm just you know, going over all

284
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.599
the moves of Andreel Friedman, the
presidency of baseball ops for your Los Angeles

285
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:34.519
Dodgers. You know from last year, Remember Dodgers didn't invest heavily in the

286
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:42.599
free agent market. Why right,
sort of bank rolling getting in preparation for

287
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:48.480
now In the moment with Otanisn and
Yamamoto, Dodgers knew Yamamoto was also going

288
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:56.039
to be up. Would that be
unbelievable if the Dodgers pulled off that double,

289
00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:03.920
the daily double of Yamamoto attorney,
So yeah, come on, I'm

290
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.759
getting those vibes, Vick. I
don't know if you'd be able to contain

291
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:11.319
yourself if the Dodgers were to sign
two Japanese players in the same all season,

292
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:17.240
the Amoo and Altani then reacquire Kentomayto. Yeah, Vic's gonna find a

293
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:19.319
way to get to that press conference
for sure, his head would explode,

294
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:27.880
guaranteeing it. I believe that Dodgers
were positioning and correct me if I'm wrong,

295
00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:33.440
all Right, but remember last season
Dodgers didn't go gung ho, go

296
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:38.240
Gaga in the free agent market,
and I believe the underlying reason was Otani

297
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:45.559
signia Ammoto. All right, well, now we're there, and now we're

298
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:52.079
in that time where you can schmooze, you know, the team Yamamoto and

299
00:22:52.319 --> 00:23:00.359
Timotani. So I'm looking forward to
this negotiation process. And now again I

300
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:06.759
will not release any information because you
don't know any well. Also, the

301
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:11.119
Tawny camp does not want any information
filtered through. Have you talked to the

302
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:25.240
camp? I have not, Well, exactly. Hmmm, Sumo Day ten

303
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:30.319
from fuka Oka. Everybody bick Are
these fifteen day tournaments? Yes, okay,

304
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:37.680
fifteen day tournaments. My beloved bride, Yukosakamoio and I are witnesses to

305
00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:42.759
every match. We love it.
So it's a tremendous time. Six tournaments

306
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:49.680
a year, fifteen day tournaments.
This is in the Southern Japan. This

307
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:53.640
is the only tournament in Southern Japan
in fuka Oka. You got three in

308
00:23:53.720 --> 00:24:00.720
Tokyo, one in you got one
in Osaka and one in I believe Nagasaki,

309
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:11.480
and one in Fukuoka. Six sixth
total Ichiamamoto is eight and two.

310
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:15.920
Everybody Ichi. He lost to a
Here with Daomi yesterday. Here with Diomi

311
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:25.279
is one seven in a row only
Reuden Barry's distant cousin from Barry's tickets dot

312
00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:32.880
Com. It's by rude giving Barry
is having a good tournament. Frontal crush

313
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:36.079
out of Tomawashi. He's seven and
three. Is ruding. That'll get you

314
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:41.720
a Tommi Fuji, the twenty one
year old, the young blood sumo rock

315
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:47.359
star. He'd be shutting to Oomi. He's now eight and two. Is

316
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:49.519
a Tommy Fuji. But the match
of the day, I'm calling this the

317
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:55.200
Yukosakamoto match of the day. Here
we go between Taka Yasu the Bear,

318
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:03.000
Dori Fuji, the little guy who's
unbelievable. Midori Fuji wins an exciting match,

319
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.720
so he goes to seven and three
Midori Fuji, so he's still in

320
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:15.279
it. Flying Monkey Tobizara one,
he's four and six. We love when

321
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:18.839
toby Zara's in the ring. When
three's on the dojo, people just love

322
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:27.319
his athletic moves ura rocking that pink
mawahee. He won by rear push out.

323
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:30.880
That's a big move. Remember,
once you get behind Assumo wrestler.

324
00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:34.559
You're in position to win, you
just push him out. I've never been

325
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:41.559
victimized by the rear push push out. Really okay, not exactly my cup

326
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:47.920
of tea. Oh so you got
four Rici four wrestlers at eight and two

327
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:53.759
sharing the lead after ten days.
Colton Miwaka, he is the pillowy one.

Yes, Colton Miwaka's eight and two, pillowy one. He had a

329
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:10.960
beautiful over arm throw yesterday beating Gonyama. I'll show you. You know,

330
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:22.880
the the fiery Mongolian. He's seven
and three. Yeah, but four guys

331
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:33.240
are tired at eight and two Kirishima
right right to four guys at the top.

332
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.000
Five days left from fuku Oka,
