(01:03):
is going to be joining us coming up in about
twenty Love that Love that It's gonna be gonna be
a lot of fun the old play, Yeah that was.
Now it is the home opener for the Dodgers, and
many Dodger fans are waking up and listening on the
(01:24):
blowtorch AM five seventy l A Sports and um, you
know they're for for another hopefully successful season. But there
was some outrage yesterday for the Dodgers because, um, Clayton Kershaw,
future Hall of Famer, a guy who uh you know,
has has been you know, he's battled as some issues
in the postseason, but he is still with the Dodgers.
(01:46):
He's been a longstanding member of the organization. He was
making his debut, his season debut yesterday in Minnesota, and
he had a perfect game through seven innings on eight
pitches and Dave Roberts decided to pull him from the game.
So Clayton Kershaw was asked about how he felt about
the decision afterwards. Here's what he said. But to day,
(02:08):
those are those are individual things, those are those are
selfish goals, and if we're trying to win, and that's
that's really all we're here for. And as much as
I would have wanted to do it, I've I've thrown
sent in the same game you know, and I hadn't
gone six innings, let alone seven, and sure I would
have loved to do it, but you know, maybe we
get another chance. He knows. So there's Clayton Kershaw. Now
(02:30):
people were outraged on social media by Dave Roberts doing
this he did, which you can interpret a lot of
different ways, but um, people were outraged by this on
social media, saying, oh my god, it's this is the
problem with the current state of baseball. This would never
happen back in the day. You had former players, managers, analysts, fans,
(02:53):
everybody chiming in. I mean, if Clayton Kershaw is okay
with it, what's the problem? If if he was okay
with this, what's the issue here? Can I just say this,
There's been like two d twenty thousand Major League Baseball
games in history major League Baseball. Do you know how
many perfect games there's been. I'm gonna guess, uh twenty
(03:14):
three great guests. So you saw the staff, So no
part of you, no part of you for a a
league that could use some buzz, could use something right,
maybe someone gluing themselves to the field. I don't know.
You don't think they could use this like you don't
think they could use a perfect game earlier the season
(03:37):
and draw some attention, get some people watching, Like is
that where baseball is at? Like even something like that
isn't enough to draw attention or to make waves in
their sport. That's that's tough. That's tough, fled man. I mean,
if if one of the greatest accomplishments you could ever
have as an athlete of a sport and like they
don't care anymore about it, the player doesn't care about it,
(03:59):
the the team that manager doesn't care about it. I mean,
I'm sorry, man. Like, if if I was in a
game and I was able to break a record by
staying in the fourth coordion there was a blowout, I'd
want to stay in you don't want to have that record.
I mean, didn't we see the Baltimore Ravens do something
similar to in a game that you know got John
Harbor and trouble. I mean it became a controversy thing
(04:21):
to talk about. I mean, that's why we're talking about this.
But I just clean Kershaw is good enough to to
finish out the rest of the game and have a
perfect game. I would I'd be I'll just I'd be
willing to say this. I get that he's okay with it.
That's fine. It's early in the season. I would want
to make history, like I would want to finish the job.
He's never done it. I know he's throwing some I
think of no hitter or two right, yeah, he's yeah.
(04:45):
I mean, like, why wouldn't you want to keep him
in to see if he can do it? Give him
some rest later on. You don't get many opportunities to
go through seven innings of baseball pitching a perfect game.
I just I don't know that. That's the part that
bothered me, is that no one cares anymore, like it's
it's it's not even an accomplishment when it seems like
it's something so really done. Who was there any color
(05:08):
given to why they pulled them? I mean, was it
a pitch count count? Yeah, and that's generally what it is.
I mean, look, I covered the Gnats for for quite
some time, and maybe four years, um three three four
years anyway, and I remember when Strasburg was throwing and
(05:29):
and Jordan's Zimmerman were throwing, and and just the idea
of the pitch count and how it would frustrate people
when they get pulled and and just the frame of
mind that went into listen, they're they're not deviating from it.
I mean, if you have a plan not to deviate
from it, I I get it. I mean, I guess
(05:50):
I understand it in the sense of, you know, you're
going to stay disciplined to what your strategic approaches to
your season, because maybe it doesn't make a difference in
that game that night, but maybe it makes a difference,
you know, later on in the season as as these
games add up. I mean, what if he finds himself
(06:11):
in that situation, you know more than one time, you know,
are you making exceptions every single time? It could possibly happen.
And I know it's a historical thing, and I know
it's something that doesn't happen often, But just the idea
of standing discipline to what it is, It's like, all right,
do we break discipline on the game plan so that
(06:33):
the person can can get this record? Well maybe maybe,
I mean I think it. I think it varies. I
think it it ultimately varies by person. Now, if it's
a Doug Peterson situation, I think that if you're playing
in the last game of the year and you have
the opportunity to keep a team from getting into the playoffs,
(06:56):
and you want to see what your other quarterback is
going to do because that was on your plan sheet.
I think you deviate from that. I do, but at
the early stages of the season where they're at right
now in baseball, I think if that's their approach and
that's their plan, I'm not I'm not going to be
(07:16):
outraged by it. I mean, it would be a great
feel good story, but I'm going to stick to the
plan because I feel like I have a bigger fish
to fry. And in the sense of where a team
that's good enough and competitive enough to try to win
a World Series and you don't want to, you just
you shouldn't deviate too much from simplicity of some of
(07:39):
the aspects of the plan. Not not that wasn't a
complicated thing. I don't think that it was an end
of the end of the world type of thing. To
stay disciplined to to what your plan is. I mean,
but you know, I mean that it depends. I mean,
you know, maybe Dave Roberts got confused, thought it was
the postseason and was just waiting for Kers show to
(08:01):
blow that game. Maybe there was that I'm just I'm
just trying to find reasons as to why, why, why
the decision was made. All right, Ultimately they won the game,
and to me, I'm more of a team guy. I'm
not really about individual stats like Clayton Kershaw. So you know,
I just think it was great that the Dodgers won
that game. Give me the sport that's completely built on
individual stats in order to get into the whole play
group of individuals, though you know you need that whole
(08:23):
group there, all right. It is a two pros and
a cup of shoe Fox Sports Radio. So we were
also talking about the Derek Carr contract extension he got
and just where the Raiders stack up. They've got obviously
got weapons around Derek Carr, much improved team, but where
they stack up in the a f C. You guys
want to have a have a fun little game here, alright,
I got I got a game for you here, all rights,
(08:44):
a little game It is not definitely not especially at
this hour, but game show music here for for members
of the show, for Brady Quinn and LaVar Arrington here,
because we've got we've got some some odds here, all right.
(09:05):
So I want to see if you can guess. All right,
so we've got odds here. There are currently eight teams
in the a f C that are projected to have
better odds at winning the a f C than the
Las Vegas Raiders. Correct myself, there are ten teams. This
(09:31):
was the tease. Where was the pivot? Like what happened? Okay, well,
you know, because we talked about, you know, the Kerr
Show stuff and that you know we're done, we can
get that. I thought I was thinking this team, all right,
let's slap. I mean you have to say on the
Kurr shot, please, there was so much more dazzle us here.
(09:55):
What else more could we add to the Cerr Shaw conversation.
I mean, look, you could be condescending all you want.
It was terrible transition. I'm just being honesty. That's fine.
We'll listen. There's still another transition we're waiting to bring
out for you. So well, look, I mean, at some
point we will get to that, you know, if I
lose another bet, but I don't. I don't think that
that's anyway is hilarious. But it was so quick. I
don't think they're still waiting on the next transition. Does
(10:18):
well listen I don't. By the way, if Tony Roman
gets ten million dollars a year, I'm getting a sex
chance of context. Pretty uh. I just I don't know
why Brady's got to attack his mentor and radio like this, Like,
I mean, why why do you come with me like this?
I'm say you are my mentor? That is all right?
So here's here's the most important part of this conversation. Yes,
(10:42):
say yes, yeah, yeah, you got it? All right? Ten teams,
all right, ten teams are projected to win the a
f C before the Raiders do this according to draft kings.
All right, So that is where they stack up in
the A f C. Right now, Um, let's see if
you can list off as many of these ten teams
(11:02):
in the A f C with better odds? Can we
start off by saying the entire a f C West. Uh,
that is fair, That is correct. So the entire a
f C West is off the board. So the Raiders
are are picked to finish fourth in that division. So
the entire a f C West is off the bills.
That's another one. There you go. That's five. That's for Baltimore,
(11:25):
Baltimore Ravens. That's five. Cincinnati, that's six. We're getting to
the nuts and bolts of this one. The Tennessee Titans.
That's seven. Come on, we can do this, LeVar. We
can do this. I mean, do I want I mean,
do we want to say the Cleveland Browns? Let's say there,
(11:48):
you go to get close. I'm gonna say the Colts.
But I feel like it's dicey one. That's nine. One
more team in the a f C that's picked to
finish higher than the Raiders are better odds to win
the I think it's a legendary coach, LaVar. That's why
I think it is maybe the greatest all time. You're
(12:11):
feeling good about it. I think I don't want to
miss it. Okay, that is incorrect, and you lose it,
that is incorrect. Now this this is according to DraftKings.
Don't say it's Miamis here. Here's what's interesting about this.
(12:35):
In some places we're using DraftKings. Obviously our friends of
DraftKings phenomenal work that they do and great partnership here,
but they have um the Raiders. The only teams with
worst odds in the a f C are the Patriots, Steelers, Jags, Jets,
and Texans. That's how loaded the a f C. Is
that that the Raiders are this far out, I would
(12:58):
question Miami. I'd also quite the Tennessee Titans. I don't
I don't understand that. I think you know. But if
this is just about the path to get there, I mean,
the a f C West is just a nightmare. So
so we're not looking for the Jacksonville Jaguars to take
this tremendous leap, now, yeah, probably not. I mean, we look,
we'd all like to see it, you know, but but
(13:19):
unfortunately that is not the case. So there it is.
Even with a big time contract and a bunch of
towent around him, the Raiders still uh uphill battle uh.
In the a f C. It's a lot So so
basically they might not make the playoffs, that's what you're saying,
playoffs and uh, and there's gonna be really good teams
(13:39):
in the a f C that just don't make the playoffs.
And then that goes back to the original point of
the conversation when we started off the show, right, is
then that contract now becomes one of those contracts where
it's like, if we can't make the playoffs with you,
you gotta go, Bro, we gotta we gotta do something different. Yeah,
it's gonna be fun to see how this all works out,
but it is Two Pros and a Cup of Joe
Fox Radio. The Dollar Shave Clubs six Blade Razor brings
(14:02):
noticeably smooth shaves of six stainlesstel blades for swift hair
removal and a lubricating strip that keeps things smooth. Dollar
Shave Club Razors are sold at Dollar Shave Club dot
com or in stores. Up next a special Thursday appearance
from the old p Petros Papa, because he's yours right
here on fs are be sure to catch live editions
of Two Pros and a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn,
(14:24):
LaVar Arrington and Jonas Knocks weekdays at six am Eastern,
three am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I
Heart Radio. Two Pros and a Cup of Joe Fox
Sports Radio coming up about twenty minutes from now. We've
got another edition of the b Q News here to
wrap up shop on a Thursday. But right now we
turn it over to the one and only Petros Papad
(14:46):
because he's the co host of the Petros and Money
Show on the Blowtorch Am five seventy l a sports
Fox college football analysts make some noise for the old
p Yeah yeah, yeah, morning, good morning. Everybody was Yeah yeah.
I was on a vacation, a brief vacation, a spring
(15:07):
break through my kids. So we went to the desert
and I got the hell out of there. I was
planning on leaving anyway, but I got the hell out
of there pretty quick because Coachella is headed there. Well
it is Coachella, but the Coachella Valley, but Coachella the
music festival which coming. Yeah, and I just you just
(15:29):
felt this sense of impending yea throughout the valley. Yea.
Better than stagecoach though, I'd have to say, I mean,
like if I had to choose between, like I'm more
of a guy, like festival culture has become a really
big thing, like that's where people go to consume music,
(15:51):
and I think it's great because it gives an opportunity
for a lot of different musicians to play in in
a day at a festival and exposes a lot of
people to music they might otherwise not here. But I'm
more of just like go see the band, have a drink,
go home. But it really is a thing, like that's
(16:11):
what everybody's into these days. Yeah much bidding that that Literally,
I don't know who's gonna mosh pit two the weekend,
but yeah, i've seen him in concert. That's not really
a mosh pit type environment. Um stage, you're another day.
(16:33):
What do you remember about O. P. P Back in
the day when by n by nature was that? Like
when I was fourteen years old, I was in football
camp with the freshman football team at Peninsula High School.
Everybody was asking each other if they were down with
which was pretty funny because you know the majority of
(16:55):
everybody if not, you know, all of us were virgins
and around. Uh, but it was it was It was
inappropriate though, because you know we were young. But you know,
it's it's hard in football camp. You know, everybody gets
the even at the pro level. I think everybody gets
(17:18):
that piece of tape on their helmet and that has
your name on it, so the coaches know who you are,
and it's it's humiliating in a way, but you know,
they put a piece of tape right on the top
front of your helmet and they write your last name.
And there was a guy named Paul Woodcock. Yeah, did
not last the first week. Why because when I said
(17:44):
it right there on his head. He was down with well,
we were all singing it together there. But I do
remember that. I remember the best song by Naughty by
Nature that came out was it was on the Juice soundtrack.
It was called the Uptown Yeah, buddy, that was a
(18:07):
good one. But you'd be on it. Bro O J
had an album yes, no kidding, how about that No
No Juice with Tupac where that guy goes you Got
the Juice? Yeah, the Juice now does have a song though, Yeah,
Uptown Anthem. O J had a show called You Got Juiced?
(18:29):
Where after he was I guess it was a Florida
thing before you should know Brady, before he went to uh,
before he went to jail for the Vegas stuff, he
had like a weird reality show, uh in the in
the primordial ooze of that kind of show called you
(18:51):
Got Juice. You can look it up. It's a It
was a thing. But yes, I do remember the Uptown Anthem.
It was a great long Naughty by Nature is an
interesting group because they always had that other guy that
nobody really thought about, you know, the same as the
guy in Cypress Hill that you know goes you know
that guy. It's like, who is that guy? You know?
(19:13):
What does he do? Uh? And they had that extra guy,
you know, one did to beat, You had KG did
the beats, and then you had been Rock. Yeah, they're
usually three guys. And I missed that about rap groups
to where you just had like a dude who never smiled,
who just stood behind DJ table like he would come
(19:33):
out with the rapper and it's like, that's our guy,
that's our DJ terminator X there he is. It's like, Okay,
he's not really doing anything that He's the only one
that was really doing something was DJ Premier from Gang Star.
He was man please, no, no Jazzy Jeff no jazz Man.
No one gets any love from the Fresher, not even
(19:57):
Tatiana Ali, nobody. Petro you got a Dodge, your home opener,
you got me. You guys have got to go out
there today and be on the field today, all right,
to walk us through what it's like card Yeah, on
location at a Dodger game with the Petros and Money show.
What's that like? I mean, are you pisting off players
(20:19):
or what? No? No, you know, I I don't want
to say. I don't want to be presumptuous. But I
pride myself and Brady can answer for this because Brady
is in the literally in the cool kids group. Wow
you well, I mean he is. He's a studio show
(20:39):
good so you know they have well you shouldn't be.
I mean, it's just the position they have catering. They
have a big, beautiful role, you know, all kinds of stuff.
I mean, it's a nice plus job. And whenever I
come to work to do a game, because I work
in the studio these days, mostly everybody goes you to
(21:00):
go over there and say hi, you know, why don't
you go there? And you know, because they want to
come with me, right so they can eat the food
and rub elbows with all the swells. And I'm like, no,
if somebody wants to see me, they can come over here.
And I don't wear people out by showing my giant
face over and over again. That way, on the off
(21:22):
chance that I do see anybody or am around anybody,
they're generally happy to see me because they don't see
me that much. And that is how I do it.
At the Dodger game, the Dodger, the Dodger players, and
baseball players in general are miserable most of the time.
They hate each other. It's a grind. They're they're all day.
(21:42):
When they're not they're they're on a plane together. When
they're not on a plane together, they're on a bus together.
When they're not on a bus together, they're in a
hotel together. So they are piste and they hate the media.
There's always like a slow sand paper grind in baseball,
and that's a real thing because it's a daily kind
(22:03):
of ritual and people get sick of each other. So
I tried my best, even though I'm credentialed to never
go anywhere that I am not doing my job. Like
other radio guys just douche bags, mostly working at ESPN.
(22:23):
They always like they go to like they show up
in the clubhouse for like a celebration or something, but
they're not interviewing anybody. They have no purpose. They're they're
just there because they're front runner. Picks for the Graham.
You gotta have picks for the Instagram, that kind of thing,
you know. So whenever I have field access all the time,
(22:47):
but I only use it on opening day when we
have to go do the show down there. So that
being said, because of that, people are generally much less
piste off as far as players go. That we're there
because they kind of want to come on and have
a good time, and you know it's fun. People kind
of float around. Brad Paisley, you know, we'll be down
(23:09):
there because he's some kind of country West Virginia Dodger fan,
and there'll be it'll be, there'll be a lot. There'll
be a big group of the collected media down there,
Bill plash Key, all the weird writers. Mostly what everybody
does these days when it comes to Dodgers is follow
around David Vasse because he's the guy that has all
(23:32):
the relationships and information. So you find all the TV
people just following Dave around and talking to people, which
is kind of funny. I know it's on a Monday,
but is it a Mitchell A lot of day you're
gonna have one of those few on the field, right
like when they I don't think, yeah, I think that's
round upon. Yeah. It's one thing to be down in
the dugout like screaming, you know, well, welcome back, it's
(23:53):
p L s Am five seven. You know, it's one
thing to be down there doing that. It's a whole
other thing to be like. It's a meat a lot
of Monday, brought to you by Modelo, A hardworking beer
after a tough day of trouble. Come on down a
beer with a fighting spirit hashtag Modelo USA. Please drink responsibly.
What about a flood pops? Well, I don't think smoking
(24:15):
weed down there, although you know it looks like you
look at the face a lot of these players and
they got the just just looks like a lot of
them are high. But I meant gummies are probably the
new greenies, right. I hit too. I hit two home
runs on the Sativa yesterday. But but no, no Lavan.
(24:35):
I will I will be uh you know I when
I do sporting events, Uh, I just show up and
then I leave. I will leave long before first pit.
Come on, what do you do? I remember when I
first when I got when I first got into the
media and I had a Dodger credential. I remember driving
(24:58):
to the Dodger games, and almost every time that I
was entering the game, Steve Lyons, who was the pregame host,
was almost like would run me over leaving, like you know,
in like a Ferrari or psycho. Steve Lions And I
always I remember that being a young broadcaster and being like,
(25:20):
why is he gonna leave? I mean, what about the game?
And now now I'm not much worse. Oh, Petros, I
need to ask you about just the Lakers in the fallout,
Vogel getting fired, Lebron's reaction to pretty much everything over
the course of the past few days, making fun and
laughing at the Timberwolves for their celebration for winning a
(25:41):
playing game. I just I feel like you're the best
person to do that. Oh he did, Yeah, he did.
I've been in the desert. My gosh, it's not It's
not fun. How on a vacation with kids, is it? No,
it's not. It's a journey, is what it is. Yeah,
And all they do is wear you out and they
want new stun and then you feed a vacation from
(26:02):
that vacation. Right, my son has pissed because he didn't
get an Apple Watch. It's like why why? Who said
we were gonna get an Apple Watch in the desert?
Is the desert the place that they grow like off
a cat die? Like what anyway? Uh? Lebron? The Lakers?
Uh yeah, it's an unmitigated disaster. The Lakers have hooked
(26:23):
themselves out and and corporately taken over by Clutch Sports.
And he has a lot of very interesting reactions in
a time where he should probably just be laying low.
But I guess the most interesting thing that I took
away from it, with the firing and all of that,
(26:44):
was the timing of Adrian war Janowski's And I used
to really like Adrian. We I still like Adrian. I
mean we used to have on the show once a week,
long before you know what, anybody knew what a WOS
bomb was or anything like that. And uh, I mean
we even used to text. I don't have a texting
relationship with a lot of people. Uh. So I I
(27:08):
thought it was really interesting the timing of it. And
then I thought, well, you know what, the timing was
probably Vogel's agent trying to make the Lakers look bad,
right because he was the one that knew because everybody
knows the Lakers are a dumpster fire in the front office,
and they needed to make Vogel look sympathetic in the moment.
(27:30):
So I thought, you know, that's how I usually think
of those things like double triple, quadruple espionage. Who does
that story help with the timing? Of the leak and
why because I didn't think Adrian would that be that
heartless of a guy to Jack del Rio, right, I
(27:50):
just didn't think he would do that unless it was
something that served the guy himself through his agent. Yeah,
but when you were talking to Woads, he was that
was yahoo. Yeah, this is like Vader. Uh, he's more
machine than man now twisted and evil. U pop. Let
(28:13):
me let me do you think do you think that
he made that decision to or do you think if
he was the one, if Vogel was the one that
was behind this. The way that has explained it, right,
is that is that because he's next if he doesn't
if he doesn't comply with what Klutch wants, well, I
think he was getting fired either way. It was just
(28:35):
the time. Excuse me, not not Vogel. I'm talking about
the GM. I'm sorry, I'm what's his name, Polenka, Polenka.
I don't even know what he does. I mean, he's
he walks around looking like Rob Low yeah, like like
but yeah, he's a he's a weirdo. I mean he
(28:55):
came on our show once. I mean I have we
haven't taken a call. It's on our radio show. I
mean we just we don't do that, you know. I mean,
and uh, I mean people interact. Everybody can text me
and all that. But I mean I get texts when
I come on your show. But but it is, uh,
it is really interesting because Polinka came on our show
(29:18):
once and he was like, I really appreciate all of
your listeners and and all their suggestions and the calls
that you guys take, and just you know, we're really
he sounds no, he sounds like this like a dime
store philosopher. I mean he really is like Manna from heaven.
Let's tell let me tell you the story of a
(29:38):
Bob cap that becomes a lion. And it was like,
shut up. You know, it's like, dude, just you know,
take your money and take your criticism. As a shadow
g M. Like there's so many shadows around the Laker organization.
You think it's like KFI Coast to coast shadow Like
you got Linda Rambis, he got Kurt Rambus, you got Magic,
(30:00):
you got Phil Jackson, you got Polinka, you got all
these weird Vanessa Bryant, I mean, there is so many
voices in within the Lakers organization, and it really makes
you wonder, uh, talking about the Dodgers today and Chavez
Ravine and all that stuff. I mean, that was a
(30:20):
family owned business, and that family moved the Dodgers to
l A and it was a big thing. And the
O'Malley family had a certain kind of standard and the
way the players were and Dodger Blue and Tommy la sorta.
And now the Dodgers are owned by like a hedge fund,
right or a big financial group, Googenheim Group, and they
(30:42):
do a really great job keeping the team competitive. They
have the most visited sport on Earth. And then you
go look at the Lakers, who are still I mean,
the TV show is on kind of it's really good
telling the story of the past and in a cartoonish
type of way, but it is the story. Yeah, it's
the story of the past. And uh, you have that
(31:05):
happening and it reminds you, like you probably just can't
run one of the biggest franchises or brands and sports.
You probably can't do that with with a family anymore,
or at least a second or third generation of people
that have just do you know, whether it's been Jim
Buss and Chaz his bartender friend, I think we talked
(31:28):
about that before, or or Genie and Linda Rambus and
all of these different people that have come through. It
just feels like maybe maybe it's time for a new era.
It's probably not gonna happen ever, but I just don't
see where the dysfunction ends and responsibility begins. And you
(31:50):
go to a Laker game now and it's just all
hookers and agents and freak and the lower Bowl. It's
like no one's even there to watch, like at least
there's like go to Clipper games or any other game,
it's like some semblance of it's what a basketball game
was like. The Laker games have become like a mutated
like Freak ship. It's like they put it's like they
put a hardwood floor into the Rainbow room and just
(32:11):
put up a couple of hoops on each other, and
it's like, you know, it's not odd to have a
man and like a giant white leather peaco and it's like, dude,
it's degrees outside. I know that that outfit is only
for the gram, but come on, get him on Twitter
at the old p he will be at Dodger Stadium.
(32:39):
Petro's Papa is uh do you yellow yellow Petros. If
you're at a Dodger game later on and you're listening one,
take him on, yell at him screamed down on the
field with the mad Dog Petros. We appreciate it, man,
have some fun, and then it will do it again
next week. Yeah, there is, It is too and a

of this leave please give us an up tape. Let's
move on to this though. Uh, you know, Jonas, you've
(34:52):
got a son too young dot here yet, But LaVar
you've got older kids. Have you ever gotten frustrated at
an umpire in one of your kids games? Not an
umpire but referee? Okay, absolutely well. A Mississippi woman wearing
a mother of the Year shirt, uh, they're saying, allegedly
(35:13):
slugged a softball umpire in the face after being ejected
from her child's game for yelling profanities. Apparently, the woman,
after she was ejected, hung out in the parking lot,
ambushed the umpire and absolutely slugged her. By evidence of
the attack, the umpire's face, she's got a pretty good
(35:34):
black eye, big well, and it busted up the lip um.
And yes, her mug shot she's still wearing the Muther
of the Year shirt in the shot. I mean, look,
if you're gonna get kicked out, get you know, get
your money's worth it, right, you know. Yeah, but I
mean it at that time, like let them face you
you know, go do it right then and there Listen,
(35:56):
I'm not here to judge. I don't I don't know
what was said to this woman. I mean, there could
have been as the ambush and empire for I just uh,
I don't know. I feel like, you know, there's a
better term we could use than that create create a
bench clearing brawl with being the best mom of the year,
all the kids come out, everybody, just go ahead and
get it in. That's a good boy. I guess the
(36:16):
question is does this make her a bad mom, because
I don't say. I feel like that's just an avid fan.
You know, she's just if you were hiding out and
you ambushed the empire after that kicked you out, that's
a bad mom. Now listen, got it. You gotta get you,
gotta get your kid. Y'all gotta knuckle up, and y'all
gotta go do it right then in there. Now that
that's a good mom. Now if there's a sense of
(36:38):
humor that runs in that family. For Mother's Day coming
up in about a month, and you get her the
same like coffee mug, like brass knuckles with mom of
the year, like like all the worlds tyson face play out,
Yeah the year? Yeah, what what do you eat? Kids? Hot?
(37:02):
Eat the Empire's hot. It sounds like a British soccer analyst,
all right, this one might take our show off the
rails a little bit. Um. A Swedish man, well, he
was rust to the intensive care unit with an excruciating
lung injury brought on by overly aggressive self pleasuring himself aggressive?
(37:30):
So what do you mean, like, God hurt his lung?
Apparently there is some extreme exertion into the uh you know,
individual activity in which he was pleasuring himself to the
point where literally he ended up feeling these pains coming
from his lungs. And I don't Yeah, I don't want
(37:52):
to dive too much more into this. This is all
I can really, you don't want to dive into that one.
I mean, what was he doing? Was he going hands
free on an air dine bike maybe? Or like, I mean,
let's work this out, Like, what what do you think
he was doing that would have caused this, uh these
breathing issues? Is that a self pleasuring activity? I don't know. Well,
I mean, if you use both hands on the air dine,
(38:13):
you can't use one of them for you know. So
I'm just wondering, like maybe he decided to go one
on the air dine and the other on his own
air dine and next thing, you know, voila. Where I mean,
the guy you have enough experience by then, yes, it's
twenty years old. Is he out of shape like, was
he obese? Yeah, no, it doesn't describe that, but it
doesn't appear that that was the issue either. I mean,
(38:35):
was he an intense heat when that took place, there was,
there was a lot of frish, a lot of fresh twice.

a lot of fun the old play, Yeah that was.
Now it is the home opener for the Dodgers, and
many Dodger fans are waking up and listening on the
(01:24):
blowtorch AM five seventy l A Sports and um, you
know they're for for another hopefully successful season. But there
was some outrage yesterday for the Dodgers because, um, Clayton Kershaw,
future Hall of Famer, a guy who uh you know,
has has been you know, he's battled as some issues
in the postseason, but he is still with the Dodgers.
(01:46):
He's been a longstanding member of the organization. He was
making his debut, his season debut yesterday in Minnesota, and
he had a perfect game through seven innings on eight
pitches and Dave Roberts decided to pull him from the game.
So Clayton Kershaw was asked about how he felt about
the decision afterwards. Here's what he said. But to day,
(02:08):
those are those are individual things, those are those are
selfish goals, and if we're trying to win, and that's
that's really all we're here for. And as much as
I would have wanted to do it, I've I've thrown
sent in the same game you know, and I hadn't
gone six innings, let alone seven, and sure I would
have loved to do it, but you know, maybe we
get another chance. He knows. So there's Clayton Kershaw. Now
(02:30):
people were outraged on social media by Dave Roberts doing
this he did, which you can interpret a lot of
different ways, but um, people were outraged by this on
social media, saying, oh my god, it's this is the
problem with the current state of baseball. This would never
happen back in the day. You had former players, managers, analysts, fans,
(02:53):
everybody chiming in. I mean, if Clayton Kershaw is okay
with it, what's the problem? If if he was okay
with this, what's the issue here? Can I just say this,
There's been like two d twenty thousand Major League Baseball
games in history major League Baseball. Do you know how
many perfect games there's been. I'm gonna guess, uh twenty
(03:14):
three great guests. So you saw the staff, So no
part of you, no part of you for a a
league that could use some buzz, could use something right,
maybe someone gluing themselves to the field. I don't know.
You don't think they could use this like you don't
think they could use a perfect game earlier the season
(03:37):
and draw some attention, get some people watching, Like is
that where baseball is at? Like even something like that
isn't enough to draw attention or to make waves in
their sport. That's that's tough. That's tough, fled man. I mean,
if if one of the greatest accomplishments you could ever
have as an athlete of a sport and like they
don't care anymore about it, the player doesn't care about it,
(03:59):
the the team that manager doesn't care about it. I mean,
I'm sorry, man. Like, if if I was in a
game and I was able to break a record by
staying in the fourth coordion there was a blowout, I'd
want to stay in you don't want to have that record.
I mean, didn't we see the Baltimore Ravens do something
similar to in a game that you know got John
Harbor and trouble. I mean it became a controversy thing
(04:21):
to talk about. I mean, that's why we're talking about this.
But I just clean Kershaw is good enough to to
finish out the rest of the game and have a
perfect game. I would I'd be I'll just I'd be
willing to say this. I get that he's okay with it.
That's fine. It's early in the season. I would want
to make history, like I would want to finish the job.
He's never done it. I know he's throwing some I
think of no hitter or two right, yeah, he's yeah.
(04:45):
I mean, like, why wouldn't you want to keep him
in to see if he can do it? Give him
some rest later on. You don't get many opportunities to
go through seven innings of baseball pitching a perfect game.
I just I don't know that. That's the part that
bothered me, is that no one cares anymore, like it's
it's it's not even an accomplishment when it seems like
it's something so really done. Who was there any color
(05:08):
given to why they pulled them? I mean, was it
a pitch count count? Yeah, and that's generally what it is.
I mean, look, I covered the Gnats for for quite
some time, and maybe four years, um three three four
years anyway, and I remember when Strasburg was throwing and
(05:29):
and Jordan's Zimmerman were throwing, and and just the idea
of the pitch count and how it would frustrate people
when they get pulled and and just the frame of
mind that went into listen, they're they're not deviating from it.
I mean, if you have a plan not to deviate
from it, I I get it. I mean, I guess
(05:50):
I understand it in the sense of, you know, you're
going to stay disciplined to what your strategic approaches to
your season, because maybe it doesn't make a difference in
that game that night, but maybe it makes a difference,
you know, later on in the season as as these
games add up. I mean, what if he finds himself
(06:11):
in that situation, you know more than one time, you know,
are you making exceptions every single time? It could possibly happen.
And I know it's a historical thing, and I know
it's something that doesn't happen often, But just the idea
of standing discipline to what it is, It's like, all right,
do we break discipline on the game plan so that
(06:33):
the person can can get this record? Well maybe maybe,
I mean I think it. I think it varies. I
think it it ultimately varies by person. Now, if it's
a Doug Peterson situation, I think that if you're playing
in the last game of the year and you have
the opportunity to keep a team from getting into the playoffs,
(06:56):
and you want to see what your other quarterback is
going to do because that was on your plan sheet.
I think you deviate from that. I do, but at
the early stages of the season where they're at right
now in baseball, I think if that's their approach and
that's their plan, I'm not I'm not going to be
(07:16):
outraged by it. I mean, it would be a great
feel good story, but I'm going to stick to the
plan because I feel like I have a bigger fish
to fry. And in the sense of where a team
that's good enough and competitive enough to try to win
a World Series and you don't want to, you just
you shouldn't deviate too much from simplicity of some of
(07:39):
the aspects of the plan. Not not that wasn't a
complicated thing. I don't think that it was an end
of the end of the world type of thing. To
stay disciplined to to what your plan is. I mean,
but you know, I mean that it depends. I mean,
you know, maybe Dave Roberts got confused, thought it was
the postseason and was just waiting for Kers show to
(08:01):
blow that game. Maybe there was that I'm just I'm
just trying to find reasons as to why, why, why
the decision was made. All right, Ultimately they won the game,
and to me, I'm more of a team guy. I'm
not really about individual stats like Clayton Kershaw. So you know,
I just think it was great that the Dodgers won
that game. Give me the sport that's completely built on
individual stats in order to get into the whole play
group of individuals, though you know you need that whole
(08:23):
group there, all right. It is a two pros and
a cup of shoe Fox Sports Radio. So we were
also talking about the Derek Carr contract extension he got
and just where the Raiders stack up. They've got obviously
got weapons around Derek Carr, much improved team, but where
they stack up in the a f C. You guys
want to have a have a fun little game here, alright,
I got I got a game for you here, all rights,
(08:44):
a little game It is not definitely not especially at
this hour, but game show music here for for members
of the show, for Brady Quinn and LaVar Arrington here,
because we've got we've got some some odds here, all right.
(09:05):
So I want to see if you can guess. All right,
so we've got odds here. There are currently eight teams
in the a f C that are projected to have
better odds at winning the a f C than the
Las Vegas Raiders. Correct myself, there are ten teams. This
(09:31):
was the tease. Where was the pivot? Like what happened? Okay, well,
you know, because we talked about, you know, the Kerr
Show stuff and that you know we're done, we can
get that. I thought I was thinking this team, all right,
let's slap. I mean you have to say on the
Kurr shot, please, there was so much more dazzle us here.
(09:55):
What else more could we add to the Cerr Shaw conversation.
I mean, look, you could be condescending all you want.
It was terrible transition. I'm just being honesty. That's fine.
We'll listen. There's still another transition we're waiting to bring
out for you. So well, look, I mean, at some
point we will get to that, you know, if I
lose another bet, but I don't. I don't think that
that's anyway is hilarious. But it was so quick. I
don't think they're still waiting on the next transition. Does
(10:18):
well listen I don't. By the way, if Tony Roman
gets ten million dollars a year, I'm getting a sex
chance of context. Pretty uh. I just I don't know
why Brady's got to attack his mentor and radio like this, Like,
I mean, why why do you come with me like this?
I'm say you are my mentor? That is all right?
So here's here's the most important part of this conversation. Yes,
(10:42):
say yes, yeah, yeah, you got it? All right? Ten teams,
all right, ten teams are projected to win the a
f C before the Raiders do this according to draft kings.
All right, So that is where they stack up in
the A f C. Right now, Um, let's see if
you can list off as many of these ten teams
(11:02):
in the A f C with better odds? Can we
start off by saying the entire a f C West. Uh,
that is fair, That is correct. So the entire a
f C West is off the board. So the Raiders
are are picked to finish fourth in that division. So
the entire a f C West is off the bills.
That's another one. There you go. That's five. That's for Baltimore,
(11:25):
Baltimore Ravens. That's five. Cincinnati, that's six. We're getting to
the nuts and bolts of this one. The Tennessee Titans.
That's seven. Come on, we can do this, LeVar. We
can do this. I mean, do I want I mean,
do we want to say the Cleveland Browns? Let's say there,
(11:48):
you go to get close. I'm gonna say the Colts.
But I feel like it's dicey one. That's nine. One
more team in the a f C that's picked to
finish higher than the Raiders are better odds to win
the I think it's a legendary coach, LaVar. That's why
I think it is maybe the greatest all time. You're
(12:11):
feeling good about it. I think I don't want to
miss it. Okay, that is incorrect, and you lose it,
that is incorrect. Now this this is according to DraftKings.
Don't say it's Miamis here. Here's what's interesting about this.
(12:35):
In some places we're using DraftKings. Obviously our friends of
DraftKings phenomenal work that they do and great partnership here,
but they have um the Raiders. The only teams with
worst odds in the a f C are the Patriots, Steelers, Jags, Jets,
and Texans. That's how loaded the a f C. Is
that that the Raiders are this far out, I would
(12:58):
question Miami. I'd also quite the Tennessee Titans. I don't
I don't understand that. I think you know. But if
this is just about the path to get there, I mean,
the a f C West is just a nightmare. So
so we're not looking for the Jacksonville Jaguars to take
this tremendous leap, now, yeah, probably not. I mean, we look,
we'd all like to see it, you know, but but
(13:19):
unfortunately that is not the case. So there it is.
Even with a big time contract and a bunch of
towent around him, the Raiders still uh uphill battle uh.
In the a f C. It's a lot So so
basically they might not make the playoffs, that's what you're saying,
playoffs and uh, and there's gonna be really good teams
(13:39):
in the a f C that just don't make the playoffs.
And then that goes back to the original point of
the conversation when we started off the show, right, is
then that contract now becomes one of those contracts where
it's like, if we can't make the playoffs with you,
you gotta go, Bro, we gotta we gotta do something different. Yeah,
it's gonna be fun to see how this all works out,
but it is Two Pros and a Cup of Joe
Fox Radio. The Dollar Shave Clubs six Blade Razor brings

noticeably smooth shaves of six stainlesstel blades for swift hair

from the old p Petros Papa, because he's yours right
here on fs are be sure to catch live editions
of Two Pros and a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn,
(14:24):
LaVar Arrington and Jonas Knocks weekdays at six am Eastern,
three am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I
Heart Radio. Two Pros and a Cup of Joe Fox
Sports Radio coming up about twenty minutes from now. We've
got another edition of the b Q News here to
wrap up shop on a Thursday. But right now we
turn it over to the one and only Petros Papad
(14:46):
because he's the co host of the Petros and Money
Show on the Blowtorch Am five seventy l a sports
Fox college football analysts make some noise for the old
p Yeah yeah, yeah, morning, good morning. Everybody was Yeah yeah.
I was on a vacation, a brief vacation, a spring
(15:07):
break through my kids. So we went to the desert
and I got the hell out of there. I was
planning on leaving anyway, but I got the hell out
of there pretty quick because Coachella is headed there. Well
it is Coachella, but the Coachella Valley, but Coachella the
music festival which coming. Yeah, and I just you just
(15:29):
felt this sense of impending yea throughout the valley. Yea.
Better than stagecoach though, I'd have to say, I mean,
like if I had to choose between, like I'm more
of a guy, like festival culture has become a really
big thing, like that's where people go to consume music,
(15:51):
and I think it's great because it gives an opportunity
for a lot of different musicians to play in in
a day at a festival and exposes a lot of
people to music they might otherwise not here. But I'm
more of just like go see the band, have a drink,
go home. But it really is a thing, like that's
(16:11):
what everybody's into these days. Yeah much bidding that that Literally,
I don't know who's gonna mosh pit two the weekend,
but yeah, i've seen him in concert. That's not really
a mosh pit type environment. Um stage, you're another day.
(16:33):
What do you remember about O. P. P Back in
the day when by n by nature was that? Like
when I was fourteen years old, I was in football
camp with the freshman football team at Peninsula High School.
Everybody was asking each other if they were down with
which was pretty funny because you know the majority of
(16:55):
everybody if not, you know, all of us were virgins
and around. Uh, but it was it was It was
inappropriate though, because you know we were young. But you know,
it's it's hard in football camp. You know, everybody gets
the even at the pro level. I think everybody gets
(17:18):
that piece of tape on their helmet and that has
your name on it, so the coaches know who you are,
and it's it's humiliating in a way, but you know,
they put a piece of tape right on the top
front of your helmet and they write your last name.
And there was a guy named Paul Woodcock. Yeah, did
not last the first week. Why because when I said
(17:44):
it right there on his head. He was down with well,
we were all singing it together there. But I do
remember that. I remember the best song by Naughty by
Nature that came out was it was on the Juice soundtrack.
It was called the Uptown Yeah, buddy, that was a
(18:07):
good one. But you'd be on it. Bro O J
had an album yes, no kidding, how about that No
No Juice with Tupac where that guy goes you Got
the Juice? Yeah, the Juice now does have a song though, Yeah,
Uptown Anthem. O J had a show called You Got Juiced?
(18:29):
Where after he was I guess it was a Florida
thing before you should know Brady, before he went to uh,
before he went to jail for the Vegas stuff, he
had like a weird reality show, uh in the in
the primordial ooze of that kind of show called you
(18:51):
Got Juice. You can look it up. It's a It
was a thing. But yes, I do remember the Uptown Anthem.
It was a great long Naughty by Nature is an
interesting group because they always had that other guy that
nobody really thought about, you know, the same as the
guy in Cypress Hill that you know goes you know
that guy. It's like, who is that guy? You know?
(19:13):
What does he do? Uh? And they had that extra guy,
you know, one did to beat, You had KG did
the beats, and then you had been Rock. Yeah, they're
usually three guys. And I missed that about rap groups
to where you just had like a dude who never smiled,
who just stood behind DJ table like he would come
(19:33):
out with the rapper and it's like, that's our guy,
that's our DJ terminator X there he is. It's like, Okay,
he's not really doing anything that He's the only one
that was really doing something was DJ Premier from Gang Star.
He was man please, no, no Jazzy Jeff no jazz Man.
No one gets any love from the Fresher, not even
(19:57):
Tatiana Ali, nobody. Petro you got a Dodge, your home opener,
you got me. You guys have got to go out
there today and be on the field today, all right,
to walk us through what it's like card Yeah, on
location at a Dodger game with the Petros and Money show.
What's that like? I mean, are you pisting off players
(20:19):
or what? No? No, you know, I I don't want
to say. I don't want to be presumptuous. But I
pride myself and Brady can answer for this because Brady
is in the literally in the cool kids group. Wow
you well, I mean he is. He's a studio show
(20:39):
good so you know they have well you shouldn't be.
I mean, it's just the position they have catering. They
have a big, beautiful role, you know, all kinds of stuff.
I mean, it's a nice plus job. And whenever I
come to work to do a game, because I work
in the studio these days, mostly everybody goes you to
(21:00):
go over there and say hi, you know, why don't
you go there? And you know, because they want to
come with me, right so they can eat the food
and rub elbows with all the swells. And I'm like, no,
if somebody wants to see me, they can come over here.
And I don't wear people out by showing my giant
face over and over again. That way, on the off
(21:22):
chance that I do see anybody or am around anybody,
they're generally happy to see me because they don't see
me that much. And that is how I do it.
At the Dodger game, the Dodger, the Dodger players, and
baseball players in general are miserable most of the time.
They hate each other. It's a grind. They're they're all day.
(21:42):
When they're not they're they're on a plane together. When
they're not on a plane together, they're on a bus together.
When they're not on a bus together, they're in a
hotel together. So they are piste and they hate the media.
There's always like a slow sand paper grind in baseball,
and that's a real thing because it's a daily kind
(22:03):
of ritual and people get sick of each other. So
I tried my best, even though I'm credentialed to never
go anywhere that I am not doing my job. Like
other radio guys just douche bags, mostly working at ESPN.
(22:23):
They always like they go to like they show up
in the clubhouse for like a celebration or something, but
they're not interviewing anybody. They have no purpose. They're they're
just there because they're front runner. Picks for the Graham.
You gotta have picks for the Instagram, that kind of thing,
you know. So whenever I have field access all the time,
(22:47):
but I only use it on opening day when we
have to go do the show down there. So that
being said, because of that, people are generally much less
piste off as far as players go. That we're there
because they kind of want to come on and have
a good time, and you know it's fun. People kind
of float around. Brad Paisley, you know, we'll be down
(23:09):
there because he's some kind of country West Virginia Dodger fan,
and there'll be it'll be, there'll be a lot. There'll
be a big group of the collected media down there,
Bill plash Key, all the weird writers. Mostly what everybody
does these days when it comes to Dodgers is follow
around David Vasse because he's the guy that has all
(23:32):
the relationships and information. So you find all the TV
people just following Dave around and talking to people, which
is kind of funny. I know it's on a Monday,
but is it a Mitchell A lot of day you're
gonna have one of those few on the field, right
like when they I don't think, yeah, I think that's
round upon. Yeah. It's one thing to be down in
the dugout like screaming, you know, well, welcome back, it's
(23:53):
p L s Am five seven. You know, it's one
thing to be down there doing that. It's a whole
other thing to be like. It's a meat a lot
of Monday, brought to you by Modelo, A hardworking beer
after a tough day of trouble. Come on down a
beer with a fighting spirit hashtag Modelo USA. Please drink responsibly.
What about a flood pops? Well, I don't think smoking
(24:15):
weed down there, although you know it looks like you
look at the face a lot of these players and
they got the just just looks like a lot of
them are high. But I meant gummies are probably the
new greenies, right. I hit too. I hit two home
runs on the Sativa yesterday. But but no, no Lavan.
(24:35):
I will I will be uh you know I when
I do sporting events, Uh, I just show up and
then I leave. I will leave long before first pit.
Come on, what do you do? I remember when I
first when I got when I first got into the
media and I had a Dodger credential. I remember driving
(24:58):
to the Dodger games, and almost every time that I
was entering the game, Steve Lyons, who was the pregame host,
was almost like would run me over leaving, like you know,
in like a Ferrari or psycho. Steve Lions And I
always I remember that being a young broadcaster and being like,
(25:20):
why is he gonna leave? I mean, what about the game?
And now now I'm not much worse. Oh, Petros, I
need to ask you about just the Lakers in the fallout,
Vogel getting fired, Lebron's reaction to pretty much everything over
the course of the past few days, making fun and
laughing at the Timberwolves for their celebration for winning a
(25:41):
playing game. I just I feel like you're the best
person to do that. Oh he did, Yeah, he did.
I've been in the desert. My gosh, it's not It's
not fun. How on a vacation with kids, is it? No,
it's not. It's a journey, is what it is. Yeah,
And all they do is wear you out and they
want new stun and then you feed a vacation from
(26:02):
that vacation. Right, my son has pissed because he didn't
get an Apple Watch. It's like why why? Who said
we were gonna get an Apple Watch in the desert?
Is the desert the place that they grow like off
a cat die? Like what anyway? Uh? Lebron? The Lakers?
Uh yeah, it's an unmitigated disaster. The Lakers have hooked
(26:23):
themselves out and and corporately taken over by Clutch Sports.
And he has a lot of very interesting reactions in
a time where he should probably just be laying low.
But I guess the most interesting thing that I took
away from it, with the firing and all of that,
(26:44):
was the timing of Adrian war Janowski's And I used
to really like Adrian. We I still like Adrian. I
mean we used to have on the show once a week,
long before you know what, anybody knew what a WOS
bomb was or anything like that. And uh, I mean
we even used to text. I don't have a texting
relationship with a lot of people. Uh. So I I
(27:08):
thought it was really interesting the timing of it. And
then I thought, well, you know what, the timing was
probably Vogel's agent trying to make the Lakers look bad,
right because he was the one that knew because everybody
knows the Lakers are a dumpster fire in the front office,
and they needed to make Vogel look sympathetic in the moment.
(27:30):
So I thought, you know, that's how I usually think
of those things like double triple, quadruple espionage. Who does
that story help with the timing? Of the leak and
why because I didn't think Adrian would that be that
heartless of a guy to Jack del Rio, right, I
(27:50):
just didn't think he would do that unless it was
something that served the guy himself through his agent. Yeah,
but when you were talking to Woads, he was that
was yahoo. Yeah, this is like Vader. Uh, he's more
machine than man now twisted and evil. U pop. Let
(28:13):
me let me do you think do you think that
he made that decision to or do you think if
he was the one, if Vogel was the one that
was behind this. The way that has explained it, right,
is that is that because he's next if he doesn't
if he doesn't comply with what Klutch wants, well, I
think he was getting fired either way. It was just
(28:35):
the time. Excuse me, not not Vogel. I'm talking about
the GM. I'm sorry, I'm what's his name, Polenka, Polenka.
I don't even know what he does. I mean, he's
he walks around looking like Rob Low yeah, like like
but yeah, he's a he's a weirdo. I mean he
(28:55):
came on our show once. I mean I have we
haven't taken a call. It's on our radio show. I
mean we just we don't do that, you know. I mean,
and uh, I mean people interact. Everybody can text me
and all that. But I mean I get texts when
I come on your show. But but it is, uh,
it is really interesting because Polinka came on our show
(29:18):
once and he was like, I really appreciate all of
your listeners and and all their suggestions and the calls
that you guys take, and just you know, we're really
he sounds no, he sounds like this like a dime
store philosopher. I mean he really is like Manna from heaven.
Let's tell let me tell you the story of a
(29:38):
Bob cap that becomes a lion. And it was like,
shut up. You know, it's like, dude, just you know,
take your money and take your criticism. As a shadow
g M. Like there's so many shadows around the Laker organization.
You think it's like KFI Coast to coast shadow Like
you got Linda Rambis, he got Kurt Rambus, you got Magic,
(30:00):
you got Phil Jackson, you got Polinka, you got all
these weird Vanessa Bryant, I mean, there is so many
voices in within the Lakers organization, and it really makes
you wonder, uh, talking about the Dodgers today and Chavez
Ravine and all that stuff. I mean, that was a
(30:20):
family owned business, and that family moved the Dodgers to
l A and it was a big thing. And the
O'Malley family had a certain kind of standard and the
way the players were and Dodger Blue and Tommy la sorta.
And now the Dodgers are owned by like a hedge fund,
right or a big financial group, Googenheim Group, and they
(30:42):
do a really great job keeping the team competitive. They
have the most visited sport on Earth. And then you
go look at the Lakers, who are still I mean,
the TV show is on kind of it's really good
telling the story of the past and in a cartoonish
type of way, but it is the story. Yeah, it's
the story of the past. And uh, you have that
(31:05):
happening and it reminds you, like you probably just can't
run one of the biggest franchises or brands and sports.
You probably can't do that with with a family anymore,
or at least a second or third generation of people
that have just do you know, whether it's been Jim
Buss and Chaz his bartender friend, I think we talked
(31:28):
about that before, or or Genie and Linda Rambus and
all of these different people that have come through. It
just feels like maybe maybe it's time for a new era.
It's probably not gonna happen ever, but I just don't
see where the dysfunction ends and responsibility begins. And you
(31:50):
go to a Laker game now and it's just all
hookers and agents and freak and the lower Bowl. It's
like no one's even there to watch, like at least
there's like go to Clipper games or any other game,
it's like some semblance of it's what a basketball game
was like. The Laker games have become like a mutated
like Freak ship. It's like they put it's like they
put a hardwood floor into the Rainbow room and just
(32:11):
put up a couple of hoops on each other, and
it's like, you know, it's not odd to have a
man and like a giant white leather peaco and it's like, dude,
it's degrees outside. I know that that outfit is only
for the gram, but come on, get him on Twitter
at the old p he will be at Dodger Stadium.
(32:39):
Petro's Papa is uh do you yellow yellow Petros. If
you're at a Dodger game later on and you're listening one,
take him on, yell at him screamed down on the
field with the mad Dog Petros. We appreciate it, man,
have some fun, and then it will do it again
next week. Yeah, there is, It is too and a

Bet Jesus's bet dorn I have just to not even

of this leave please give us an up tape. Let's
move on to this though. Uh, you know, Jonas, you've
(34:52):
got a son too young dot here yet, But LaVar
you've got older kids. Have you ever gotten frustrated at
an umpire in one of your kids games? Not an
umpire but referee? Okay, absolutely well. A Mississippi woman wearing
a mother of the Year shirt, uh, they're saying, allegedly
(35:13):
slugged a softball umpire in the face after being ejected
from her child's game for yelling profanities. Apparently, the woman,
after she was ejected, hung out in the parking lot,
ambushed the umpire and absolutely slugged her. By evidence of
the attack, the umpire's face, she's got a pretty good
(35:34):
black eye, big well, and it busted up the lip um.
And yes, her mug shot she's still wearing the Muther
of the Year shirt in the shot. I mean, look,
if you're gonna get kicked out, get you know, get
your money's worth it, right, you know. Yeah, but I
mean it at that time, like let them face you
you know, go do it right then and there Listen,
(35:56):
I'm not here to judge. I don't I don't know
what was said to this woman. I mean, there could
have been as the ambush and empire for I just uh,
I don't know. I feel like, you know, there's a
better term we could use than that create create a
bench clearing brawl with being the best mom of the year,
all the kids come out, everybody, just go ahead and
get it in. That's a good boy. I guess the
(36:16):
question is does this make her a bad mom, because
I don't say. I feel like that's just an avid fan.
You know, she's just if you were hiding out and
you ambushed the empire after that kicked you out, that's
a bad mom. Now listen, got it. You gotta get you,
gotta get your kid. Y'all gotta knuckle up, and y'all
gotta go do it right then in there. Now that
that's a good mom. Now if there's a sense of
(36:38):
humor that runs in that family. For Mother's Day coming
up in about a month, and you get her the
same like coffee mug, like brass knuckles with mom of
the year, like like all the worlds tyson face play out,
Yeah the year? Yeah, what what do you eat? Kids? Hot?
(37:02):
Eat the Empire's hot. It sounds like a British soccer analyst,
all right, this one might take our show off the
rails a little bit. Um. A Swedish man, well, he
was rust to the intensive care unit with an excruciating
lung injury brought on by overly aggressive self pleasuring himself aggressive?
(37:30):
So what do you mean, like, God hurt his lung?
Apparently there is some extreme exertion into the uh you know,
individual activity in which he was pleasuring himself to the
point where literally he ended up feeling these pains coming
from his lungs. And I don't Yeah, I don't want
(37:52):
to dive too much more into this. This is all
I can really, you don't want to dive into that one.
I mean, what was he doing? Was he going hands
free on an air dine bike maybe? Or like, I mean,
let's work this out, Like, what what do you think
he was doing that would have caused this, uh these
breathing issues? Is that a self pleasuring activity? I don't know. Well,
I mean, if you use both hands on the air dine,
(38:13):
you can't use one of them for you know. So
I'm just wondering, like maybe he decided to go one
on the air dine and the other on his own
air dine and next thing, you know, voila. Where I mean,
the guy you have enough experience by then, yes, it's
twenty years old. Is he out of shape like, was
he obese? Yeah, no, it doesn't describe that, but it
doesn't appear that that was the issue either. I mean,
(38:35):
was he an intense heat when that took place, there was,
there was a lot of frish, a lot of fresh twice.
