earlier, a lot of Dodger talkedthroughout the course of the show. So
much celebration. Oh, very excitingshow. Hail Tani is a superstar in
a city full of stars. Itswings and hammers it deep center failed way
back in the tie game, Igot hey, old Tony, So what

(01:30):
you're saying is La is a cityof stars, city of stars, astras.
It's what you're saying. And inorder to be a superstar in a
city of stars, you gotta shineso bright, you gotta really really stand
out. Yes, I understand thepoint. Now I feel special. After
two hours of hammering that, Matt, I now understand the point. It

(01:55):
is. I appreciate hard to puton a show in the city of Los
Angele. You know, we've seenso many shows. Yeah, we've seen
so many shows. We know theshow. So to do it to the
level, at the level that shoeHail Panie is putting on a show,
show, Hey, I mean that'sreally something here. It's crazy because it's
like no one in the southern Californiaarea has ever seen this guy play the

(02:17):
person before. And he hits thisone on the ground right field. That's
a base hit. Hookie's gonna turnsecond and burn for third. He's gonna
make it and shoe halo. Tonywith his second hit of the ball game
of the Dodgers with going out haverunners on the corners. So turn Burn,
Mookie, Turn and Burn. Cannotbelieve how good this guy is in

(02:38):
person. I never would have seenit before. I mean I didn't see
it coming. How could we have? No, we had no clue,
no idea that this was happening.Nobody told us. Pitch, there goes
o Tony, a strike called andthe Marlins don't even try to defend it.
We want to jump ahead again,Bent's over third days But no,
no, Tony, I mean hehad just a monstrous jump over at first

(03:01):
base. No one don't jump.No one alerted us as so what this
was gonna be like? And Itell you what it is. Especial.
Almost almost as special as the finalhour fun fact, Matt, Not that
crazy fun effect. It's the yeahwe're three fun. Well. You know
what I like to do in acity of stars watching a superstar. I

(03:22):
like to lick an ice cream coneat the Saint Louis World's Fair. Well,
that's standard operating procedure, Matt,nineteen oh four. Ice cream vendor
ran out of paper cups. ASyrian concessionaire named Ernest Humwy offered a solution
with his waffles. He began curlinghis waffle cookies into a receptacle for the

(03:46):
ice cream, and that is believedto be the moment where ice cream cones,
instead of just eating it out ofa dish, became mainstream, and
Homley would later start his own conemaking company. That is great ice cream
information. Matt, Right, it'stime for quickets. Light it up,
Vic, some quickets come make itquick, y'all? Yeah, speaking of

(04:14):
Vic, the Yamamoto son has alsobecome pretty darn insulting to a lot of
people. Just don't tell I meanagain, why why does it have to
only apply to our Japanese players?Right? Why does you know? Why
is it not Bueller's song, misterKershaw Mookie song? Well, or mister
Betts right, why not? Ormister Otani right? Hey, hey,

(04:41):
mister coward. The Dodgers are twentyfour and thirteen. They won five in
a row twelve their last fourteen.Like Matt said, they have winning ways.
They host winners. They host theMarlins tonight, which might as well
just be like a bunch of littletiny State Puff marsh meadowmen, there's nothing
I want winners. That's what theDodgers are. Yamamoto son on the Mountain,
I think, oh, first pitchat seven to ten. Everybody knows

(05:01):
that. Call him the honorable misterYamamoto. The Dodgers bullpen took another blow
last night, Oh God, whenJoe Kelly was placed on the IL with
a strange shoulder. He's now thefifth high leverage reliever on the IL,
joining von Gelli, Phillips, Bruise, Dark Granerol, Ryan Brazier, and

(05:23):
Kyle Hurt. Let me ask youa question, Ryan, you've pitched in
this league. How much different isit going to be coming out of that
bullpen gate for the first time asa pitcher for the Dodgers. You don't
like Friend's line of questioning to therelievers. Matt Well played for the Red
Sox for a while, and I'vebeen in the league for thirteen years,

(05:44):
so I guess it'll feel kind ofthe same. But yeah, that'll be
cool. Man. You don't knowwhat you don't know what it's like.
JT. Iw freaked out? Areyou? JT? If you're seeing the
national anthem here, it's got tofreak you out right. I'm James Taylor,
excuse me, one of the freakingout one of the great singer songwriters
in the late twentieth century. Somepositive Dodger pitching news. Clayton Kershaw was

(06:08):
on Sports and at LA last nightduring the game, talked about his rehability,
Sean here it is. Yeah,it was going good. You know,
I think it was six months tothe day. Oh right, Jesus
hold on the opening words like likeLouis Armstrong there for a second was going
is he like the Metallica guy Headfield? What what's happening there? Yeah?

(06:28):
I was going good, I know, Jesus, Yeah, I was going
good. You know. I thinkit was six months to the day on
Friday, last Friday, throwing apen. And that was kind of my
plan all along, was to beoff the mound at six months and so
now, you know, just it'showever long it takes to get to throw
a hundred pitches, you know,and so obviously there's a few steps along
the way, but you know,every step of the way so far has

(06:50):
been great, and it's been funto be able to throw hard again or
hard ish, I guess, andI try to try to creep up in
the velo a little bit and getready to you know, I just gotta
say, man, I was goingall right, all right, we heard
this about Walker Bulm. He wassupposed to pitch like one hundred days ago,

(07:11):
two hundred days ago, and wehad these I'm doing so great in
rehab interviews, and now we haveKershaw. Sounded like he just smoked the
whole a whole cart and a GPC. I will say this, Clayton's good
on that headset. During the game, he's typically a little self deprecating.

(07:31):
He'll he'll do the play by play. He recognizes you know, he's been
around and yeah, he's been aroundlong enough to figure out that acting like
an a hole doesn't serve him.Yeah, to be a superstar. Yeah
wow, give you his zombie voiceto get it started. The Angels are
in Cleveland taking on the Guardians therelast place in the Al West, and

(07:55):
they are awful. They are twelveand twenty three. It really is remarkable
that every year in the first tengames, somehow the Angels get out the
gate at like seven and three.Everybody does oh, you know, just
that it's all this team needed.Man, sometime and that sometime in July
they come within like two games offive hundred second place or something, and

(08:18):
everybody's like, down one of thoseangels. Yeah, then the fall of
Art. Major League Baseball is senta warning to all teams about encouraging players
who are subject to the MLB Draftto would draw from high school baseball in
the United States and leave the countryto then become eligible to sign as international
players. Don't do it. Thiswas a dude from Cuba who was playing

(08:41):
high school ball in Florida, andapparently a team told him, Hey,
ditch your senior year, go backto Cuba. We're going to give you
a signing bonus north of five millionbucks. And he said, yeah,
get back to Cuba. So Iguess it's something that has become more and

(09:03):
more prevalent from international players that cometo the States to play high school ball
and then subject themselves to not determiningwhere they get to sign, as opposed
to keeping things open. So youknow, teams like the Dodgers that aren't
picking in the top five can goahead and scratch out a big check.
Wow, Clayton loves that. Let'sstep over to the hardwood. Matt the
Lakers are still without a head coach. They are, they are still searching.

(09:28):
I don't know if James Worthy andor Shack have been interviewed yet for
the position per the request of Victhe Brick. I was just saying to
put them on the bench, someof the old heads, the old heads,
the wisdom. I don't know ifyou're aware of this, but coaching
is a grind. No new rumors. Bill Plashti wants Becky Hammond. Victor

(09:50):
Brick wants James Worthy. Yeah,that Becky Hammond. The Becky Hammond column
did not create a lot of buzz. It's an annual Becky you haven't column
for Bill Pleski as an annual whetherit's the uh it's hey Bill, Hey,
billow Slow news Day A god damnyou. I gotta do the beck

(10:11):
of him and column. She's earnedit. We'll see what happens won the
title. We are we are waiting. We have a few days this week
still for more rumors to come out. Greg Doyle, the bald guy for
the Indianapolis Star. He's always beenin s ster his whole career, Big
s stern Doyle. Yes, well, he suspended for his actions that he

(10:33):
was criticized for during the Caitlin Clarkintroductory press conference in April. UH.
He's in the middle of a twoweek suspension handed down by the newspaper.
He will not be able to attendany Fever games this summer, but will
continue to write columns about the Feverby watching them on television from home.
Caitlyn, Greg Doyle Indie Star realquick, I'll we do this like you

(10:56):
like that the heart? I likethat you're here. I like I do
that in my family after every game. So okay, well we'll start doing
it to me and we'll be getalong just fine. Oh creepy geeze,
dude, a little creepy. Youknow who wouldn't do that? GOUTI Harris
is he goots. He wouldn't dothat man, neither would Bill. No,

(11:18):
No, you like that. I'dnever do that to back your Hammett
be Wow do you like that?Wow? Do you like that? Greg?
Yeah? I do that to myfamily. I'd like you to do
it to me. Yea, yyou like that? Hey, guess who's
going to uh? Jack Hammett MattCoast Ta, Mesa's city council expected to

(11:43):
approve raiders UH to use the JackHammett Sports Complex. That's where the Chargers
have been the last seven years astheir site for training camp. Chargers,
of course opening their Al Segundo facilitythat is where they will have their training
camp moving forward. When the Raiderstraining coast to Mesa, that'll be the
fifteam. Remember the same took overUCI and the Rams likely will be practicing

(12:05):
somewhere near their future home in WoodlandHills. So Cowboys and Oxnard Chargers at
their new facility El Segundo, theRams somewhere in the eight one to eight,
and then the Raiders and Saints downin Orange County. Pretty cool.
May all the ACLS remain intact Mayday. After spending nearly a decade playing professional

(12:26):
baseball, with three seasons in MajorLeague Baseball, Monte Harrison is headed back
to college to play football. LikeScott Bakula in Necessary Roughness, starring Robert
Loja, Will It be a Supermodelkicking and sinbad and yes, Kathy Ireland
as the kicker. He's twenty eightfour star prospect committed to play college football
at Arkansas this fall. He isa wide receiver and a back, at

(12:52):
least he was when he was playingin twenty fourteen and the number seven high
school recruit in the state of missouIt's going to hurt, dude, but
good luck to you. How oldwas Clatt when he went back? Was
he like thirty forty forty forty one? I knew he was super That's a
record. It's a record because Clatthad two O seven in the minor line.
Yes, sing to him, Kate, But you know he gets these

(13:13):
weird blood transfusions and that's why helooks like he does. Is that what
it is? I want you toimagine Class eight babies. I want you
to imagine Clatt on a plane ina full suit, just looking Christine with
his arms crossed, the cross acrosshis chest, sleeping and me next to
him going with my leg up likefarting, drool everywhere, disheveled sweatshirt,

Rickleberry Hound pajamas. Yeah you likethat? Yeah, I like it.

of the Dodgers, who are havinga heck of a May thus far.
But right now it is time forthe top story of the day, Story
of the day. Oh, let'scelebrate Lat's celebrate Pee. The Panic Brothers

(14:46):
have no chance to make an appearanceanytime soon, not with the MUDs out
here for the next two games,and they will play twice before we make
another appearance as the Petros in MoneyShow following the newter Tomorrow get game.
You better get your celebration in.I mean, what if they lose the
next two, That's what I mean. Imagine we show up tomorrow night and

(15:07):
all these good vibes that we haveright now in this moment are wasted.
Five wins in a row, twelveof fourteen following the most brutal, disappointing
homestand we have seen from this teamnon playoff of course in a decade.
Yeah, let's just qualify this andsay that nobody gets that regular season hype

(15:31):
train moving on the tracks like llCOOLJ with the course light train. Nobody
gets on that train like the PetrosenMoney show exactly in particular, the latter
exactly right. And I felt asthough my championship pedigree in that category,
my ownership of that particular lane,was being challenged. I felt like someone

(15:58):
just cut right in without putting thesignal on by who by the gentleman in
front of us? Who is deadin front of us? And their celebration
prematurely. Oh, you feel likeFred is house celebrating and he's on before
we are, and there's nothing wecan do about it. There's nothing you
can say. I want to celebrateOtani, you know what I want to

(16:18):
talk about all those home runs.You could do a preemptive Instagram live and
preempt Fred's Dodger celebration with your ownINSP live. That's a great call.
I can start doing IG lives atlike eleven thirty. Yeah, get under
the wire, do it eleven fiftyfive. Really sticking a call. That's
a great call. Listen if BlakeTryning, if they have so much confidence

(16:41):
and that blessed from above arm ofhis to make it three straight appearances where
he shuts out and gets a hold, shuts out the side and just bing
bang boom, one, two,three, that's a good call. Pee
Instagram Live. Let's talk about howgreat Blake Tryning is. You know,
this is the arm they've been waitingto come back. You know how many
saves he got that one year inOakland was like thirty five. Sit there

(17:03):
in front of the Jimmy World Record, Matt and bang it out. You
know, do it? Stick itto Fred. You know what, I'll
mix it up. I'll take theJimmy World down. I'll put the Powerman
five thousand up and then I'm gonnacome at you. How about that?
Wait, do you forget that?That'll really affect exactly right Fred gonna do?
Then? I don't like all thiscelebration, all this celebration without us

(17:26):
having got in on the celebratory phaseof thirty seven games played in a one
hundred and sixty two game season,where the Dodgers have now begun to dominate
in a fashion that many prognosticators predictedwould produce. You got three MVPs Ban
Mookie Betts, bang Sho hal TaniBoom, Freddie Freeman and this is what

(17:52):
it was supposed to look like.And my god, p Am I enjoying
it. Isn't this something I cantake it? I mean, it's a
already a lot of times we gotto wait until about June for that Dodger
run to show up. There havebeen at least three installments of the Panic
Brothers, David Vassey mocking us listenersfifty to fifty and that's what you want.

(18:14):
It's like, we're the house andwe just want that fifty to fifty.
Split half appreciating that we're not afraidto panic even though we're the Dodger
station, the other half telling usto shut the hell up, that it's
early, it's only fifty games.Why are we freaking out? They'll get
it, and then what would happen? You would get that twenty eight and
three run in June, and noweverybody's celebrating not this year, this year

(18:38):
preemptive strike. Every single Dodger's teamof the past has managed to rip off
that ridiculous string of victories, justwhen we would question, what the hell
is wrong with this team? Whatdid we pay for? You gotta be
kidding me with these guys. He'sover the hill, he's quadruple A.
This dude can't play defense. Thisguy's got more holes in his swing than

(19:03):
freaking Holland's worth. After pictures figuredhim out following his Rookie of the Year
campaign, and then they would gooff on this run. Well, not
this year. It's not June,it's not August. P It's May.
Okay, May is our mind.I can't Yes you can, Yes you
can. I know what you're doingright now at litend of yours is on

(19:25):
your chest, rubbing it's back,right now, rubbing it's back. I
want you to look. I wantyou to look Travis McGee in the eyes
and say, yes, we cando this. May is our month.
The lizard is not aware of what'shappening May Well because you haven't informed him
yet. It doesn't matter. Whatdo you mean, it doesn't matter.
It's all we have. Do youunderstand this is all we have? Unless

(19:48):
you're gonna take the mantle for theSparks who moved their competitions from the Pyramid
in Long Beach to Crypto dot Combecause the WNBA is the hottest FA that's
just growing professional sport in America.That's what I'm concentrating on. So you
want that lane, I want sitting. I'm over here by myself. I
got a Dodge challenger coming up myass in the form of Fred Rogan.

(20:12):
I gotta be honest, you know, I get excited when the Dodgers are
doing well. But when you dothe movie preview, get everybody excited,
like person that comes on during thebetween innings, like look at this right
now. You know, I startto feel a little I don't know,

(20:33):
I you know, I start tofeel like a little premature, like I
don't like I don't like your behavior. We cannot make decisions that costs the
team. And then come off thesideline and it's nonchalant to be a nonchalant
me. Yeah, you being anonchalant I'm not that Tony's hit all these
doggers and you're all nonchalant. Well, I just think it's weird. I
mean, he's been hitting doggers eversince he stepped foot on the United States

(20:56):
soil. Basically not true. Hedidn't have those fifty homers. Oh wait,
well he only had no that wastwo. Well he didn't well that
was three. I guess. Yeah, But you know what, it's different.
Yeah, you're right down the topthree of the lineup is extremely excited.
There's no doubt about it. Butevery time those guys come up,

(21:17):
I mean, it happens, youknow, every couple innings. You know,
isn't it great? We're gonna blowourselves out, like, go right
down the shoe. And I'd liketo point out over the weekend a sweep
of baseball's best team, the onlyone with single digit losses at this point
of the season, and they blowhim out by a plus fourteen in the

(21:41):
aggregate. You're right, that's agood that's a good point by you know
we were That's a good point.We didn't come on the air yesterday.
Oh you're right. We waited.You waited to attack the Lakers. You
know why because the Marlins game toldus everything. Will it be a letdown?
Will they mail it in its softlanding for Walker? Bill? Were

(22:03):
they willing to sacrifice of victory inone of one's sixty two for a soft
landing for Walker? Buehler? Maybegive some guys the night off. Maybe
guys aren't as focused as they wereover the weekend when they blew up the
Atlanta Braves potential playoff preview. Butno, they were focused, laser focused,
and led by the best baseball playerof the last half decade. And

(22:26):
some say maybe ever eye test,eye test, and I need to look
at the stats eye test, whichis something that always kind of caught me
by surprise. The whole eye testthing. Oh, I test, he's
the best player ever, wolt Ididn't get to watch Babe Ruth. I
wasn't able to give him the eyetest. I don't know. I don't

(22:48):
know what the eye test did forTy Cobb. And to be honest,
I never got to put my eyetest on Willie Mays. I'm guessing a
lot of the people that say Itest, they didn't get a chance to
see Willy Mays either, So it'skind of hard to do the whole Listen,
you want to look at the stats, that's fine, but I'm going
by the eye test and Buzzy he'sthe best place baseball player ever. It's
doesn't work. There is no eyetest for the best baseball player ever.

(23:10):
Because you didn't see the rest ofthe ones that are in the conversation.
Sorry for the aside. All Iknow is it is incredible that you can
have these three MVPs at the topof the lineup. Bets Otani Freeman right
behind him, baseball's best hitting catcherright behind him, your son's favorite player,

(23:30):
Max Munsey. Three homers in agame, guy that's averaging thirty plus.
To hell with the strikeouts in theaverage. Who cares if you're hitting
a buck eighty eight with seven hundredstrikeouts. We love those home runs.
Good job with the Doggers, ourfavorite Teo Scar, We love Uncle Scarr,
He's our favorite. But when youget the bottom of the order to
come alive, and this is whatled to this bit of conversation today.

(23:56):
It's the difference with the Petro someMoney show when the bottom of the order
comes live and I get that,and I looked down on my phone and
I say, now we're talking.Now we're cooking with gas. Mister Papadacus
is entered. Tarzan strikes again.Oh I swung on and hit hard deep

(24:18):
to right center fed and it's goneup to run. Homer James up one
of the Dodgers, leading again fiveto three. Oh, a sinker that
was middle Middlemonios put it on himt for out and he takes the two
strike pits and hits it into thepavilion. So your dad sends us a

(24:42):
text, Oh, Tarzan strikes again. I can't have him, to which
I send a heart. I appreciatethat you were happy, Yet you immediately
mock him with a photo of Tarzanin a loincloth. That was not mocking.
I like Tarzan. David Vassay immediatelythrows cold water on it by typing

(25:07):
first doll run since April ninth.I then provide some snark with a screen
grab of Pitfall. That's see,I thought that was celebratory, like my
dad bought tiresand it was. Actuallyit was celebratory. It's that hates nobody.
Nobody acknowledged my Pitfall edition. Sorryhere, I'll do it right now.

(25:30):
Thank you. Ha, there itis there. It is haha,
thank you. It took me asecond to figure it out. I was
like, why did we doing that? The David Vassay then replies the fish
can get anybody out of a slump, being the jerk, and then this

(25:51):
is this was great. I appreciateyou taking up for your father. Well,
and you rice unkind Dave, butthen your dad ends up shooting some
strays at Pius. Hey, It'strue, though Tarzan would have caught that
ball. Tarzan would have caught thatMarlin home run to right field. Pies
looked like a real stiff. Helooked like Aaron Judge breaking his leg out

(26:15):
there. And that's what the Dodgersplaying dominating baseball can do for this show.
It brings us together when we're notin the studio, together, when
we're not being paid, when we'renot on the clock. It's one of
the beautiful things about baseball. Unlikeany other sport, Baseball brings us together.

(26:40):
One hundred and sixty two out ofone hundred and eighty five days,
something magical can happen that will bringgenerations. Maybe you get Fletcher on this
text thread too, so he canweigh in when Munsey does something great.
You know what I mean, can'tactually, but I'd rather know not a
bad idea. Let's see what hesays. I don't like to relived.

(27:00):
What I'm saying is it's a greattime. It's a great time, and
we're gonna celebrate it. And theygot three with the Marlins, and this
is why we're doing it today.Peek. Well, there's nothing else going
on, man, I mean,it's elimination Nation. Everybody's dead. But
here's the thing. I want winners. We want winners. And following this
series, they will play at SanDiego San Francisco Diamondbacks. And as this

(27:33):
is the May the seventh, Maythe seventh, David, it's May the
seventh. Team is already up bythe largest margin of any division in either
league from the second place team,and as it stands right now, they
will not play a team with awinning record until June eleventh. That is

(27:56):
how the schedule has laid out.The Rangers on June eleventh will be the
next team they faced that currently hasa winning record. Things look good,
things look good, And I justwanted to get the Petros and money show
out in front of it, allright. I Mean, it's just it's
stories like these, Matt, thatthey pump up the balloon higher and higher
into the stratosphere for a more epicpopping. When Arizona sweeps the Dodgers.

(28:22):
You know what I'm saying, Ido. I don't think it's gonna happen.
This year. Oh, Toddy,won't let us sound like that.
Now with all that deferred money,he performs at his peak when the pressure
is at the highest. He's atremendous machine. But I'm just saying,
the more pumped up we are,the more spectacular the explosion in the sky

(28:45):
later. But you're right, ithas been fun to watch those top guys
at the lineup and the text threatis I love it. We'll be back
with more. You're dead and aliveguy, birthday of the day, You're
Dodgers coming home. Bring a beat. That's it for this to ed Mono

(29:07):
Tuesday. Your ed Monos will beback on tomorrow, but a late show,
probably around the four thirty start.We'll start between four and five.

the original ex pats. But didactually looking this guy up, He did
a lot more work in his lifethan I ever thought he did, so

laureate Archibald McLeish one hundred and thirtytwo years old from Boston but born in
Illinois. Went to Yale. Yeshe was skull at both Yeah, well,
