DROPPIN DIMES

Washington Huskies Tight Ends Coach Jordan PaoPao joined Droppin Dimes for episode #32. We covered everything from Pac-12 football, the NFL Draft, recruiting and reminisced on his playing days.

PaoPao graduated from University of San Diego where he played football under then head coach Jim Harbaugh. We talked to PaoPao about what it was like to go from playing under Harbough at USD, to working as a recruiting assistant at Stanford under Harbough’s coaching staff.

PaoPao is also a recruiter for the Huskies. He talked about what kind of players the team looks to recruit, the impact of social media and he gives advice to high school athletes looking to be recruited.

Within the PaoPao family there’s a long list of successful football coaches and players. Jordan’s father, Tony, played for UCLA and held different coaching jobs.

So what are family dinners like? Jordan shares fun stories about that and what it’s like when all of the “football heads” get together in the family.

On this week’s episode of Droppin Dimes we had the of finally meeting the man behind the green basketball and hat avatar on Twitter. We’re talking about none other than NBA Writer Clint Peterson.

Peterson has covered the NBA and Utah Jazz for eight years so we thought it’d be fitting to bring him in and talk about the playoffs.

But if you know anything about our podcast, then you know that we never stay on topic. So, in addition to NBA Playoffs, we talk mayonnaise, zombie sonics, Drake, alternative facts and fake news. 

We were able to get back on topic and hear some epic stories from Peterson from his time covering the NBA.

In this episode of Droppin Dimes we discuss racism, being white and being biracial in sport.

We also desperately try to figure out how many people in China own TV’s.

And more importantly, we continue the discussion on why Colin Kaepernick didn’t get picked up by an NFL team.

On this week’s episode of Droppin Dimes we were joined by Salt Lake City’s finest, Tony Parks. The Jazz Locker-room Reporter, Salt Lake Bees Reporter and host of 1280 The Zone’s Jake and Tony, dropped a lot of sports history and knowledge during the show.

We talked some baseball, Jackie Robinson, Utah Jazz and their playoff push, Rudy Gobert being the best defensive player in the NBA, March Madness, and we get down to the bottom of exactly how the AP Top 25 Poll really works (Tony is a voter for the AP Poll for college football and college basketball).

Listening to this podcast, you will also hear Tony’s take on who the biggest bust in sports history is, if Phil Jackson was a great coach or if his players made him great, and who the next iconic athlete is.

Tony was also very open about his childhood and the sacrifices his mother made to give him a better life, how he ended up in Utah, and how he was able to get his big break in media.

We covered a wide-range of topics on this week’s episode of Droppin Dimes. We talked March Madness, NBA Playoffs, Tiger Woods being on the cusp of winning his first PGA Tour tournament in more than 4½ years, and former UCLA quarterback and current NFL prospect Josh Rosen and his off-the-field opinions.

Somehow we went from talking about Kevin Durant and how he never brushes his hair, to men going through a ‘not wanting to shower’ phase when they were kids. Then that lead to us talking about Cedric and his time in the military and what survival tactics he used during deployment. We always get off topic but that’s the best part of the podcast!

On this week’s episode of Droppin Dimes, we were joined by artist, actor, journalist and basketball junkie Zachary Jordan.

We covered a plethora of topics during the show while vibing out to some of Jordan’s newly released music. We talked about Jordan’s days as a video coordinator for the women’s basketball team at the University of Utah, his coaching aspirations, how he got his start in music and acting, and the projects he’s currently working on.

Jordan also shared his take on the FBI/NCAA investigation, college one-and-dones, NBA Rookie of the Year, athletes taking on social issues and more.

As a die-hard Philly fan can you guess whom he is pulling for in the Rookie of the Year race?

Please note that this episode is for a more mature audience.

This week’s podcast featured an all-star lineup. NBA Champion Tracy Murray called into the show and former Utah State Aggie and NFL hopeful Tyshon Mosley stopped by as well.

We started off the podcast catching up with Tracy Murray. From working with the Los Angeles Lakers as their shooting coach, to now being an announcer for UCLA, and recently accepting an on air position with ABC News in Los Angeles.

After bringing us up to speed on his life, we had the champ weigh in on a plethora of topics; the NBA Trade Deadline, how he handled being traded, summer games at Pauley Pavilion, the one-and-dones, how the NBA has changed since he’s left the league, his thoughts on super teams, Tom Brady vs Michael Jordan and so much more.

Oh, how could we forget to mention this … we also talked to him who would win in a one-on-one with LaVar Ball. His response to the question was hysterical.

The show takes a more serious turn with Utah State Aggie Tyshon Mosley. The Offensive Guard opened up about being released from the Aggies and finishing his college career up at Portland State University. Mosley talked about how restructuring his life after hitting a low period allowed him a second chance at finishing his education and his football career at PSU. When asked how he would describe his life story thus far, he said he’d definitely call himself ‘The Comeback Kid.’

We also talked to Mosley about chasing his dreams of playing in the NFL and what it would mean to him to either be drafted or picked up during free agency. He said he’s already working on his draft day outfit, would love to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and will most likely cry when his name is called during draft day.

Then, the show took a sharp turn. We somehow got on the topic of football players going pee and poop on the sidelines, football players peeing in their pants, if Mosley would ever take a butt napkin or butt pads endorsement, a Viagra endorsement and so much more.

This week we had the pleasure of having former Utah Runnin’ Ute Timothy ‘Tim’ Drisdom on Droppin’ Dimes. If you’ve watched him play at the U, then you know he’s a great shooter. But if you happen to see him around town, don’t ever tell him ‘he was a great shooter’ because great hoopers never lose their stroke.

In the time we had with Drisdom, we spent a lot of it talking about his days playing college hoops and how the program at the University of Utah has developed over the years. We also talked about the current Runnin’ Ute’s roster and how they’re struggling to find their niche. Drisdom shared his insight as to what could be the reason for the Utes losing four straight games in Pac – 12 play and about the team chemistry.

We had some fun and got Drisdom’s take on Lavar Ball and the Lakers, how Kyle Kuzma being in the NBA has a positive effect on the University of Utah, AAU hoops and Utah Jazz.

Drisdom has found much success in life; from playing college basketball to trying out for the Salt Lake City Stars, and now being named the Head Coach of Intermountain Christian School. On top off all that, Drisdom is the Worship Leader at The Point Church in Kearns and is Founder of the Salt Lake City Mass Choir. The father of three devotes all of his success to God.

This week on Droppin Dimes we covered a lot of ground. From the Utah Utes being the only Pac 12 team to pull off a bowl game win, to previewing the Alabama-Georgia game and how much success Utah Jazz Guard Donovan Mitchell has had thus far into the season — if it’s a hot topic in sport right now, we covered it.

Cedric, Sascha and Brittany spent a lot of time trying to figure out why and how the Pac 12 went 1-8 in bowl games this season. That conversation lead to Head Coach Kyle Whittingham’s 11-1 bowl game record and what that means for the University of Utah.

The NBA named Donovan Mitchell the Western Conference Rookie of the Month for December. That lead to us talking a lot about the Utah Jazz and changes they need to make to the team.

We also got off topic, which is always fun, and talked Comic Con, Netflix, Metta World Peace back when he was Ron Artest and so much more.
