For the guest host. We willtalk to Peter McGhee here on the Petroson
Money Show on AMPI seventy LA Sportsin the next hour to get us ready
for the big Laker Nuggets first round. Victor Brick leaning toward the purple and
gold, he told us in thefirst segment, and you can take that

(01:11):
to the bank. You see themarch, it couldn't be anything else.
We talked about Brian Windhorst, theBrowny Defender. In the very last segment,
we played the AI song for Jonas, which he seemed to enjoy,
and we experimented with Vic's echo.I'm actually saying he didn't want to play

(01:32):
it over and over AI did it? You know. I was like,
hey, tak it over your funnypart. It's like I told Kate,
it's like, let's play Jonas thatAI song. And he's like, yeah,
I don't want to play it toomany times? And now like every
time I mentioned it, pet TrumpSmett sucker, Kate. How long did
it take when you put it intothe oven and it came out? How

(01:52):
long was the baking process? Sixtyseconds? I mean I feel like,
yeah, Bob Schmidt oudam a job. But I do feel like, you
know, we could probably bang outa couple of more during this ship.
No, that's the thing, Jonaskeywords. We already have this. How
are going to get better than this? How can he get better than that?

(02:13):
I'm not going to play again,petrosh Oh, yeah, of course.
I mean, do you want todo you want to lean into the
Ronnie Vic feud and I do asong through that? There is no Ronnie
and Vic feud. I don't knowwhat Ronnie's got, just a lot of
salt in his omelet. Thanks Jonasfor trying to create one. I'm just

(02:34):
don't do it, dude, Ijust am trying to There's a lot of
salt in Ronnie's omelet when it comesto Vic's headset, because Ronnie had been
telling him for years, and Ronnie'sresentful because we had to tell him for
him to do it, and Ronniehad told him for years, and Ronnie
was right, and Ronnie was tryingto solve the problem for three years,
and Vic ignored him like a stubbornmule. Ronnie's words, Ronnie's words,

(02:55):
and that is why I believe he'sresentful. Am I wrong to say,
Ronnie, I'm not resentful? Well, well, I'm that is the I
am. I'm so happy that hisissues have been fixed. I'm just I'm
not confident Petros in the fact thathe's going to maintain his left Why am
I wrong to say that that couldbe the reason for some of the Himalayan
salt in your Homelope. I don'tthink I'm all right. You know,

(03:20):
none of us like to be psychoanalyzed, but I'd like you to think about
it. I kind of blame himbecause he's eating all those damn seeds,
and the salts in here just kindof soaked into my Body's got nothing to
do with the seeds. Now,can I please have some generic surf music
so we can go forward with theshow? Let me ask the machine.
No, no, I have instrumentalsurfing waves. Suck it. Let's make

(03:49):
a song about mad out of HawaiiPolynesian dudes running a train pass the conscience.
Will Jonas is in that's in thewh And we'd love to tell you

(04:11):
about the Beach Live Festival. Itreturns to the sands of Redondo Beach May
third through May fifth. Does itintersect with Greek Eastern? Yes? Am
I unhappy about it? Yes?Got a great performance by Sting Incubus from
Calabasas, my devo, my MorningJacket, which is a great the one

(04:35):
of the best live bands I've everseen, Eavan, Dirty Heads, Sugar
ray Zz, Top Steel Pulse,And here's the one that's gonna grab you,
Jonas because the way you dress,seal Ah, You're never gonna survive

(04:55):
Jonas unless and that's a great song. Get a little Crazy it is a
great song. I'm looking at GreekEaster eggs, very elaborate. Don't make
fun of Greek Easter. I'm notimpressed. You guys haven't had Easter yet.
It's like three weeks ago. Shutup. Yeah, the candies all
discounted. Now. I'm not doingit this year. Okay, I'm not

(05:18):
explaining how everybody's wrong and we're rightthis year. I'm not doing it.
What do you mean I'm not doingit. You're not gonna be able to
bait me into it either. Couldyou turn it in? We've got a
four hour show, but I'm notdoing it. Could you turn the explanation
into an Ai song? No?Yes, yes, didn't you address up
that, mister bunny Petrock? No, no, no, I did not.
And the name of the song wouldbe Jesus was Jewish and the last

(05:43):
Supper was Passover. You cannot killJesus until Passover is over. It takes
a whole week to kill Jesus.Learn the moon. Very upsetting, but
yeah, Beach Life. Get tickets. It's awesome. Oh I got some.
I'm a troubling news for you,Petros. What is Orthodox Easter in

(06:04):
twenty next year? Twenty twenty five. Yeah, is on four to twenty.
That's okay, all right, I'mjust saying, could be, uh,
could be some questionable moves by somepeople out there, all right,
going to celebrate both well, it'skind of a holiday. It flies under

(06:25):
the radar here here in southern Californiafor the most part. His words the
word of the day and Ronnie,I do love when the Easter Bunny gets
beat up by Jay and Silent Boband mal rats when they when they when
they restrain the Easter Bunny and thenone of them punches them in front of

(06:45):
the kids. Today's word of theday is shoes, Jonas, You're a
man who likes to match his shoes, his shirt and his hate. Much
like a lot of NBA players.They like to have that real matchy matchy
tunnel walk vi as you know,and an old player is back in the
game. In the world of basketball, Oklahoma City's Thunder the MVP candidate

(07:11):
Shay gilgis Alexander also known as Sega. Does anybody call him that or is
it just us Sga? But doesanybody call him Sega like Adam does?
That's good because I love Sega.I was a Sega Master System guy.
When everybody had Nintendo sixty four andI was maligned because it was like the
Nash Skateboards of video games, andno one knew the games I played,

(07:34):
and I didn't know the games anybodyelse played. But then when Sega came
out with the Genesis, and allof a sudden, I was the guy
on top. I was the guyon top. Changed my life. I
remember going over my buddy's house.He had Sega. I didn't have Sega
Genesis or the Sega Master. Hehad Sea Genesis. Yeah, the Sega
Master System. Man, I'm talkingabout the real dregs. Like I was
looking for tech Mobile. He broughtout Joe Montana's football and I got sliced

(07:57):
in dice. Yeah for three hours. It really, uh, it really
was a great divider. It waslike living on the wrong side of the
technological track. I mean, I'mtrying to, you know, a slam
Brad muster through the middle of thegold in the middle of the line,
you know, on a fourth andone, and I'm getting Tom Rathman's taking
it to you. It's getting dominated. But shake Gil just Alexander aka Sega

(08:18):
one of the best young players inthe league. He's only twenty five.
He has signed a lucrative multi yearcontract extension with Converse. All right,
Converse is back. Yeah, didyou ever think Converse would come back?
You know, since those clunky weaponsthat Larry Bird and Magic Johnson used to

(08:41):
wear. Choose your weapon and theyheld him like guns as pretty sweet.
So I've seen those the high topsand the low tops have like popped up
on my feed on social media,like they've popped up there and they've got,
you know, all because you've gotlike those, you know, the
the old school PF flyer looking Convers, the All Stars, and then you've
got these and they look like legitimatebasketball shoes that people are gonna try and

(09:05):

of the WNBA? You know thosetwo chicks are coming back, all the
Caveners. Yeah, oh yeah.And you know it's funny you bring that
up, Petros. That is ournumber of the day. Oh yeah,
yeah, here's my number. Numberof the day. Number the day is

(10:16):
five. Earlier today, Haley andHannah Cavander announced they are returning to the
University of Miami to play basketball fortheir fifth and final season of collegiate eligibility.
The Caventer twins played three season atFresno State before transferring to Miami in
twenty twenty three, where they helpedthe Hurricanes reach its first ever Elite eight.
The twins then announced they were steppingaway from basketball their senior year to

(10:39):
pursue new opportunities, including a chanceto work with Petros's beloved WWE. They
are very popular on social media.Who would have thuncket, you know,
a couple of rocket ships go onsocial media and yoga pants and all of
a sudden they develop a following.They had a lot going on back there.
Yeah, and apparently there's a reason. You know, most of the
time in every one of their photos, it's like they're like almost like,

(11:07):
look at my ass back to thebasket players, look at it, you
know. Same with that lsu girl. God bless her, Angel Reese.
No, no, lovely lady,And my apologies to Angel. I'd never
say anything about Angel. Reason theother one that just transferred, other than
the fact that Angel Reyes really doeslook like a hammerhead shark. Like nobody's
eyes are that far apart, Likeit feels like you could stand directly in

(11:30):
front of her and she would beblind to your presence. Like the only
person I've ever seen whose eyes arethat far apart unsurgical, or maybe it
was was. I was in theelevator once with Brandy ray J's sister,
and her eyes were really far apart, like I was standing directly next to
her, and it felt like shewas like eyeballing me, like the lizard.

(11:54):
Now, when you told her youliked her brother's work, did it
confusion? I didn't talk to herat all. Wondering By the way,
apparently those off the court endeavors.I'm talking about the gymnast girl, the
one that everybody likes at LSU.Oh yeah, she also every one of
her every single one of her photos. Everyone Livy done. Yeah, Olivia

(12:15):
had done every one of her photos. Is Hey, hey, you you
know what Kate? You know Caseyfrom the Howard Stern Show used to say,
whatever one of those walked in studio, Hey, Howard, get a
little that back porch. That wouldbe funny if my grandfather didn't call it
a toilet. Okay, I lockedthe toilet on that one. Uh So,

(12:39):
the off court endeavors have not goneso well. They've not been as
lucrative as the cabiners that hoped forbecause they are now both coming back to
play one final year of college basketballat Miami. They have a fifty year
of eligibility because they haven't used theirbonus COVID year yet. So congression too,
Yeah, like this is like donot pass go. This is your

(13:01):
last chance. So these girls wereplaying at Fresno State in twenty nineteen and
they're still playing again one more year. Bruce McCoy is still playing one more
year? Is he really? Who'sthe tight end that came back to Miami
for the god Cameron? The tightend Jordan Cameron. No, he came

(13:22):
back to Miami and he's I thinkit's his eighth or ninthe Oh yeah,
yeah, I don't know. Yeah, a lot of a lot of Van
Wilder. He was in Oregon andthe Cam McCormick, Cam McCormick, and
once again ate it was it eighthor ninth year for him. He is
going into his ninth year. Imean, you know, why not?

(13:43):
I could think of a few reasons, but you know, look, I
was twenty three at the end atSC because I transferred from Call and then
I broke my foot, and soI came back that last year and I
was twenty three and I felt ancient. And now these guys It's just a
totally different vibe. Like, isn'tMichael Pennock's older than Justin Field's probably like

(14:05):
Penix's old. Yeah, and Ilike Pennick, Yeah, you know,
I think Pennix will be watch Thething that's interesting about Pennix is, you
know, he's not super big andhe's had two acls, and everybody talks
about god, well, the durability, and it's like, well, okay,
yeah, but he's a see itand get rid of it quarterback.
And he played every game at Washingtonpretty much throughout and played hurt and showed

(14:28):
courage. And I mean he's likeKurt Warner or Brady. He reads the
defense and the ball is out.It's the other guys that are going to
get picked in front of him,Daniels and Williams. They're the guys that
run around like an idiot on thirddown and that's the kind of stuff that'll
get you destroyed in the NFL,to where your head flies out of the

(14:48):
arena. Is Pennix fun to watchbecause he's left handed. I've thought about
this. It does add a littlesomething to him. There's a little flavor
in that, just like something samewith a swing or a golf swing.
Yeah, I don't know what itis. It's livery thing. It just
it looks wonky and it's exciting.Yeah, it's fun. But we had
I remember, we had two ofthe biggest quarterback prospects show up at USC

(15:11):
in nineteen ninety eight. One ofthem was Carson Palmer, who went on
to be the number one pick inthe draft and won a Heisman, although
he had a very rocky career beforethat at SC that people don't really remember
because of what he did under PeteCarroll that last year. You know,
one Pete Carroll, I think theywere five hundred. The other one was
a guy named Jason Thomas who endedup actually transferring to un LV, and

(15:35):
I think he had an eight winseason at UNLV under John Robinson when he
was fired at SC. But JasonThomas came from Compton. I think he
went to forget which Domingus High Okay, I thought I wanted to say Centennial,
but it wasn't. JT went toDomingus and one was a righty,

(15:56):
Carson right with all the quarterback trainingand all that, and the other one
was Jason Thomas and he was alefty and he was kind of like a
big guy who ran a lot andhe was a big guy. He was
huge, and let me tell you, that guy's ball it was like,
you know, it would it wouldtail on you and you'd be like you'd

(16:18):
have to turn your hands like,oh, you know, like it was
so weird. Yeah, because hewas a lefty and you know, and
then later of course Liner showed upand they had four years of excellent player
or whatever it was from him asa lefty. But it was just so
odd to be like, we gotthese two guys. One of them is
like a machine and the ball islike a jugs gun, and the other
one's like nah, you know,and and it's kind of interesting because you

(16:44):
know, he was a lefty andbut he didn't he wasn't polished, you
know, like Panics is. Andof course he went on and had a
great year at UNLV. I thinkthe best year you and lv's had since
then was the one they just hadunder Barry otom in twenty twenty three.
So, but it is interesting howlefties are because the ball is different,
you know, the ball's different tocatch, and usually you wouldn't think that

(17:07):
as a football guy, like youknow, you throw the football at the
you catch a football, but no, the way it approaches you and kind
of how it turns felt really weird. Now, how do you stack rank
your left handed USC quarterbacks? You'vegot Jason Thomas, You've got Matt Lioner,
You've got Todd Marinovich. What's theorder for you, Petro? For
me, yeah, Marinovitch, Thomas, no, Liner, of course,

(17:36):
But for me it's always Todd.Todd. What's he up to? Art
is a really good painter. Life'sbeen a struggle. I mean, you
know somebody's talk about you want tostart talking about h in the main line,
You go somewhere else. You takethat to your Nikola Die Morning Show.

(18:00):
Sorry, Ernie, go ahead.Today's song of the day is called
my Friend, a tune that waswritten and recorded by the great left handed
guitar player Jimmy Hendrix in nineteen sixtyeight. Speaking of lefties, A crunchy
groove with a twist of blues fora Thursday afternoon on the Petros and Money

(18:21):

(18:45):
Hey, Ronnie, that was greatwell. Jimmy Hendricks, David Vasan will
join us next with the latest.He's got. Dodger Talk tonight with Blake
Trinan lot of people are upset aboutthe Dodgers. We talked Tossay yesterday after

And the Dodgers Dodgers off today.They started a three game series versus the

(19:57):
Mets tomorrow. Dodgers on deck sixo'clock, first pitch at seven ten,
live from the Galpin Motors Broadcast moveafter being beaten and battered by the callers,
he is undeterred. David Vasse pushingforward, high knees into the future.

(20:18):
David Vasse is our guest. He'son the Comrax, He's got Marango
Casino. Excuse me, that's Dodgerson deck. He's got Dodger Talk tonight
featuring Blake Trinden, who the Dodgersneed back. And if he wasn't coming
back anytime soon, he probably wouldn'ttalk to Vassay on Dodger Talk. David
is our embedded Dodger reporter. Andthere is nobody better at the Real DV,

(20:42):
at Underscore Real DV on Twitter orx and of course on MLB Network
and Spectrum Sports net LA. There'sonly one David Vasse on the socol Toyota
Dealers Celebrity Hotline. Hello, Dave, Hey, guys, Yeah, Dodger
Talk tonight will be starting right whenWalker takes the mound in Oklahoma City in

(21:02):
his third rehab start. That couldbe his third and final rehab start.
We'll have to wait and see whatthe decision the Dodgers make on that.
And as far as Blake Trening goesPetros, I basically loud talked him and
trash talked him the last two days, and all of a sudden he took
me out of time out and wantedto do an interview right in the middle

(21:22):
of the Dodger Clubhouse. So you'llget a peek inside of my life with
Blake trying and coming up at aboutseven thirty tonight. Well, I want
you know we had you on yesterdayafter the callers battered you and beat you
down, and then you took callsfor the first time in over a year.
Right, you know, he tooka few calls to have a little

(21:42):
bit of fun, and I thoughtit worked out. Okay, it could
have been a lot worse. I'vecertainly I thought it was great, and
I appreciate the backing. Yes,we backed you, Dave, but you
know, I feel like I kindof already know everything that's going on,
but Jonas is very curious about alot of things. Will you talk to
him or are you salty with him? Because he co host with Fred sometimes
and you're a little salt here withthat show. Is he still wearing his

(22:03):
black leather jacket right now? Today'she's got a gray vibe going on.
He's got a gray corner button downsweater with a hood. And how many
hours has he been on KLAC today? Nine? This is? Uh?
This, he's gonna be It's gonnabe seven. Okay, today's over.
It's not bad, you know,I mean, you put enough time in

(22:26):
between and nobody notices. It's fine. Now. I'm curious, though,
is it because I asked Petros this? Is this the earliest in the season
that the Panic Bros Have come outon the Dodgers because everybody's bitching and moaning
like Otani's batting eighty five, He'syeah, I understand he's not hitting well
with runners in scoring position, Okay, but it hasn't been the worst start

(22:48):
to a guy's career with a newteam in the world. But not at
all. And yesterday he had threehits and the rest of the team had
two. So he's doing his part, and frankly so is the first four
guys in the lineup. They're doingtheir part, but the rest of the
lineup has been spotty at best.And Taoscar Hernandez has been off and on

(23:11):
leading Major League Baseball and RBIs.But Max Munsey has been a little inconsistent
at the plate to start the year, only twenty one games. Like you
said, Jonas, but everybody wastaking shots at Max Munsey's defense all of
a sudden. Now the last twoweeks he's been playing exceptional defense at third
base, and his throws are reallystrong and he doesn't need forward momentum to

(23:36):
make the throat to Freddie Freeman.So something has changed in that department.
Mookie Bets is on his way tothe National League MVP, but you need
guys like James Outman and Gavin Lux, who the Dodgers were counting on to
really take a step forward this year, to start doing that or they're going
to lose at bats. I kindof feel like Gavin Lux already has lost

(23:57):
at bats. It feels like he'sall right already in a straight platoon.
I witnessed a very animated Dave Robertswith him a couple of days ago,
and at the end of it,Dave Roberts made it clear, so anybody
that was in the vicinity could hearhim say to Gavin Luck s ays Lux
was walking away, thank you forbuying in So okay, So how reasonable

(24:22):
is I don't feel that that fallsinto eavesdropping, do you guys you're gonna
say it that? Yeah? Sohow reasonable is the reaction of Dodger fans
so much so they're taking it outon you on the phones and they're you
know, we've got guys who crewcalling into shows claiming to be Hispanic living
in Westlake, which is you know, some people have found some flaws with

(24:45):
the delivery of the accent, Likeis this a reasonable reaction saying that's a
harsh accusation? Right? Yes,I've heard stories. I was getting some
behind the scenes on it as towhat potentially happened. But is this a
reasonable reaction for this team and isthis just what it's going to be until
they won a World Series? Well, like I told Petros and don I

(25:07):
feel like people are not reacting toby the way, the Dodgers being in
first place after twenty one games butan uninspired series against the team that is
not going to finish at five hundred, and if they do, it's been
a big victory for their season.So when you get shut out for the
first time since last July, andyou have the players the Dodgers have and

(25:30):
you get shut out two to nothingby that team, there's going to be
unhappy fans. But I feel likeit all stems from the frustrations of the
previous four years, where the Dodgershave won one hundred games in each of
the last four full seasons and havebeen bounced out of the postseason unceremoniously,
including the first round the last twoyears. So I know fans are venting

(25:53):
that frustration in April, but look, there's nothing these guys can do about
it right now. You're going tohave to wait to judge them until October.
And by the time October rolls around, the Dodgers again will have won
upwards of ninety five games and theywill be one of the top two seeds
in the National League. So thisteam will be judged by what they do

(26:18):
in October, and nobody will rememberthis three game series against the Washington Nationals.
The Great David Vasse is our guest. Will people remember this Bush lux
thing? How bad of a movewas that Dave in retrospect? Well,
he keep bringing it up, soI guess they are going to remember it.
That trous It feels like you bringit up every day. It seems

(26:38):
like it's pretty bad. Right now. It does not look great. But
here's my biggest issue. Last September, Michael Busch could have played second base
for the Dodgers for a September that, for all intentsive purposes, was just
a formality on the way to theDodgers winning one hundred games again and winning

(27:00):
the NL West. Instead, theDodgers picked up Colton Wang off of Waivers.
Colton Wong has not been effective asa hitter in quite some time,
and they basically played Colton Wong everyday at second base in September instead of
seeing what they had with Michael BushAnd people around the team will tell you,

(27:22):
you know what, he had noposition here to play, which is
true. He's playing first base forthe Cubs, and it did not look
smooth at third base, and thereis some skepticism about his range at second
base, So there is that,But we never found out last September.
We never knew if that was true, if whether or not the defense was

(27:42):
adequate enough at second base to youknow, allow him to play every day,
considering he was known as being avery good hitter. Now, also
what we will be told is youcan't judge this trade until the two players
they acquired, one one of thetop pitching prospects in the Cubs organization and
another very promising outfielder. I wasactually just talking to Raoula Banyez about that,

(28:07):
who is high up in the baseballoperations department, even before Michael Bush
at his fifth home run in asmany games. We all have to hold
out judgment for that. But forright now, yeah, it doesn't look
great and the Dodgers are going tobe criticized. So I gotta know what's
the mood of the team like,because you've been around some teams that maybe
guys didn't get along. Maybe everythingwas, you know, friendly and we

(28:32):
were excited to come to the parkevery day. Do they feel the pressure
of this year thus far day nowthat we're twenty something games into the season.
I'll say certain players have. Imean James Outman admitted he had nerves
in Game one, of the NLDS, and he dropped the first fly ball
of the series and from there atSnowball to a sweep, and then after

(28:53):
that game he said he had alot of nerves. So this is not
made for everybody, and we're gonnafind find out what James Outman and Gavin
Luks are made of, because it'sa lot different playing in Cincinnati or Milwaukee
or Pittsburgh than playing for the Dodgers, and especially playing for the Dodgers this
year. You like how he attacksall my all my guys, Outman,

(29:15):
Muncie, all my play. Icomplimented Munsey's defense earlier in the segment what's
trying going to talk about when he'scoming back and how he's feeling and what
swings he was getting in spring training, because I've heard some differing opinions from
opposing evaluators that his slider was notas biting as it was before he got

(29:38):
hurt. So I asked him thatquestion. He gave me a candid answer.
And also, you're gonna hear theback and forth, petros as you
like to say, between me anda player that maybe I got too comfortable
with over the last couple of days. Wow, how about some teeth on
your slid. Well, I didsay. I did joke with him how

(29:59):
long he is he gonna milk thisrib injury for? In front of Dave
Roberts before he was about to throwa simulated game. You called him big
brother lactose. I just said,hey, how long are you gonna milk
this for? Hey? By theway, why are the callers taken out?
And he's not milking it for therecord, why are the callers taking
it out on you? Dave?What did you do? You're simply there.
The caller called in and said hewants both daves fired, He wants

(30:22):
Dave Roberts out, and he wantsme out if they don't win the World
Series. For what he said,I'm an excuse maker just because I don't
want Dave Roberts fired after Game twentyone and being in first place. How
else are we gonna find excuses ifsomebody doesn't make up? Yeah, and
by the way, you did standand defend ken Lee Janssen. You did

(30:42):

ended up being right. Seeger,Yeah, I mean I feel like your
track record speaks for itself. Verystrong, Yeah, very strong. Hey

I'm going to read it to you. Fine, brought to you by your
so called Toyota dealers. We makeit easy and it targets you as well.
Tim. It says p I'm actuallyfrom Westlake. This is Francisco.
I work at Los Robless Golf Clubin Thousand Oaks. Tell Jonas and Kates

(33:13):
to stop hating. Apartments in Westlakeare cheaper than living in Pasadena. He
okay, first off, Los Robelusgolf course, and he put a middle
finger. Oh yeah, Francisco.Yeah, he did a middle finger emojens.
Yeah. By the way, acute attitude. I pushed back a
little bit, just because, youknow, pull the curte a little back.
Here. Our phone screen system showsif you've already called or not,

(33:35):
and what your name was when youcalled before. It's AI remembers, okay,
And so when it popped up itsaid I think it said Brendan in
Westlake. That's like a real Latino, right, And then the guys I
know this is Francisco. I'm like, really, Brendan. He's like,
no, that's my brother. I'mlike, oh yeah, okay, dude.
If AI remember, if AI remembersyour name and number, it certainly
remembers whether or not you smoke pole. Hey. By the way, Los

(33:57):
Robel's golf course right up the roadfrom Tarantula Hill. What's your beef with
Los Roblass Los Robuls Golf Club.It's fine. I'm just saying it's nowhere
near Westlake, Okay. And sothis guy talking about, you know,
one thing, if he worked atSherwood, he's not at Sherwood got it.
Yeah, wow, that's I didnot expect that level of elitism from

(34:19):
me. Yeah. Remember when theyshortened the baseball games and everybody was just
stroking Manfred's tooth gap. Yeah youhave to. I'm saying, it's the
greatest thing ever. Yeah, isit? Now? The games are going
so fast, people's arms are fallingoff. No one can get drunk enough
to enjoy the game. Yes,you couldn't get drunk enough to enjoy Yesterday's

(34:39):
Dodger game was two hours and tenminutes. Didn't the Astros put in a
rule last year where you they wouldn'tstop serving at all. Several teams did.
They're like, we're not making enoughmoney. Like now the teams that
are like stroking themselves because they figuredout how to shorten the games and get
people that act like their attention spanwas a little better watching baseball. Now

(35:00):
they're mad because they don't have youin their trap for four hours to concession
you to death like they normally.They don't have you there long enough.
So now there's a little bit ofbuyer's remorse that the baseball games are so
fast. Now now they're like,figure out your own deui. We're trying
to make money here exactly. Wait, I thought you were worried about our
safety. Now when we started losingmoney, losers, you're gonna be drugged

(35:23):
anyway. That's what they figure.What should we do, Jonas, what's
the solution? I find it hardto believe that just because the pitch clock
was implemented that now all of asudden, guys are hurting their arms,
Like what is the time in betweenpitches? Have to do with number of
pitches? Which is like a videogame where like you know your power,

(35:45):
you know, you have to waitfor your Yeah, that's what it is.
It's like little Mac on Mike Tyson'sor people figured that out. It
looked like his trainer and push thebutton with the powers all the way up,
look like his trainer was the AIsong. He did have a stroking
motion it did. What did theydo? How does baseball get around what

(36:09):
they did so well for themselves earlier? You know, I heard a term
from LeVar and Brady who said thatin football, when there was an injury
during practice, he moved the drill. They would just yell riverside. Oh
yeah, they turn it all theway around. Yeah. So maybe that's
what baseball's got to do. Everytime a guy's arm falls off, you
just yellside and down on the detcher, pitcher, I don't know what do

(36:31):
you want? Well, you knowwhat. I'm sorry I asked you.
I thought you would have a better, more thought out solution. I just
think guys are throwing hard, andmaybe they're doctoring Baseball's who knows. But
I don't know how the pitch clockand the time in between pitches. To
me, I've always thought that itwas the number of pitches, not the
time. I don't think it hasanything to do with the pitchers getting hurt.

(36:52):
I think they're pissed that they're notmaking the money that they normally make
when they have you trapped in theirhole for four hours and the concession eat
you alive, and your kid wantsa little bat to assault people with.
Yeah, and you got to havethe Day of the Dead hat. Are
you a fan of the quicker game? It's kind of sweet. It's a
mixed bag for petros, I think, right, yeah, not to speak

(37:14):
for you, but no, you'reright. I'm very selfish about it.
It's all about me and when thegame starts, like some days it's advantageous
for the game to go fast,and we root for that, and others
we root for the opposite, andit seems to never happen the way we
want to. When you want thegame to go fast, the first inning
will be like an hour and everybodywill start texting me, this game's not

(37:38):
flying. You know, there wasan inning yesterday late in the game.
I don't remember what I lost.I lost it. It was thirteen minutes
long. W I went crazy,went crazy, and I was like,
you got to be f and kiddingme. Mclaim's not even here yet.
I was losing my mind. Whatare you playing? Oh? Kate's again?

(38:00):
Should have broken five minutes ago.Sorry, Petro Beatault. I will
say this, I have an inflatedidea of what the value of what I
do here is, and I thinkof myself in some ways as a very
low rent, low rung on theentertainment ladder artist. And you can't just

(38:22):
make an artist like, hey,do it. You know, I got
to know when the show's going tostart. I can't just sit around and
waiting to know when to get mypuzzo hard. It's hard right now.
I'm like Marky mark I want todo it right now. Do you know
what I'm saying? It's my bigpoots. Yeah, I want to do
it right now. You're puzzo yourprops, So I feel like, you

(38:43):
know, when they're like, oh, you're only on for an hour,
it's like you tell Picostle he's onlygot an hour? Yeah, and why
don't you just put something else on? Do you have vast a take calls?
I'm an artist. I need tohave I need to have a show
that has a beginning in the middleof an act. You can't put a
clock on this pitch exactly right.So that's my own self importance that I
just revealed I'm too good for thehaphaszard start time. Don't you ever forget

(39:08):
that? I've heard Yah, That'swhy I don't like coming on at twenty
eight after the hour with you guys. Where's my human rights? How about
Brady quit asking you to stick aroundfor more time when you're like, I
have to do handle No, Ican't. I have to go quit washing
my balls just because you've got nocontent. Well, thank you, Jonas,

(39:32):
thank you for listening to my problems. We'll be back. We got
geter McGhee and the top story ofthe day. Oh, we'll do quick
hits next. We're gonna do thatearly today, and then we'll do Geeter
and then I got a grievance withyou. We'll be back
