(01:29):
the day. His words the wordof the day. Matt, you love
Indiana. I do. That's whereyou're from. Back home again in Indiana
today, Terra Hotes, Indiana welcomed. Not just in Claremont. The Oral
Hershiser Sports Memorabilia Museum, a newLarry Bird museum officially open. Oh,
(01:53):
I've been waiting. The museum containsmemorabilia from Bird's high school, college,
and NBA career, interactive exit hibbits, and interviews with coaches, teammates,
and rivals. Isaiah Thomas is goingto stand out front and tell everybody that
you're wasting your time. The onlyreason anybody cares whatever whities because he's white.
Whatever you crackers. The museum islocated in the Terre Haute Convention Center.
(02:17):
As It opens Wednesday through Sunday,closed on Mondays and Tuesdays because those
are Larry Bird's drinking days. Admissionis free, okay. When asked about
it, Larry said this, Ithink they've got enough there to keep everybody's
interest. I think it's going tobe good for the city and a lot
(02:38):
of people will come through it.Bird described the museum opening reception as unbelievable.
I think that's what social media isall about. Thank god they didn't
have that when I was playing,I was a drunk womanizer. No,
no, no, oh god no. There's so many young kids wearing my
jersey. Tera Hate has followed mycareer. You don't make these journeys alone.
(02:58):
Tera Hate. I was always hadmy back, beautiful, beautifully put
where's the love for French lick bitch? Anyway, let's go six find out
more at Larrybirdmuseum dot com to planyour trip to Terre Haute. Listen,
you know what we're gonna do herein Tara Hate. What's that? We're
(03:19):
gonna build a Larry Bird museum?Why? Because for Ta Tara Hat has
always been with Larry. It's notwhere Indiana state is. We know,
it's not where he was born,No, we know, but it is
in the state. Okay, guys, ever watched Parks and Wreck, the
TV show. It's based on alittle city in Indiana, Pawnee, Indiana.
It kind of feels like something theywould do. Just build a Larry
(03:39):
Bird museum. Why not try toget Larry out there? Whiting, Indiana
built the Mascot Hall of Fame.I have the T shirt, which I
believe is hemorrhaging money right now.Turns out, once you go to the
Mascot Hall of Fame, you maynot return. Second. It's like a
it feels like maybe it's a onetime what I'd like to visit. Get
(04:00):
dj Molski moved out there and hecan be that's right back into my splot
at usc hoops. All right,Matt, it's time for the number of
the day. Do we have ourwinner? Oh? What do we have
a winner? I can call himback. Oh, don't worry about it.
Who is it? Spencer from thesix to six? Congratulations some rich
guy from Pasadena. That's all weneed. Here's my number. Number of
(04:21):
the day, Number of the daystwo, Pat Hayden's neighbor, Spencer.
Number of the day is two,as in second second tim Kate sent us
sends us text all the time,A great producer, like the silver medal.
Yeah, like you got the silverdude. Kate's sends us texts regularly
(04:42):
does a bang up job. Heis the executive producer of The Petros and
Money Show, constantly feeding us contentthat he believes would be h not just
pertinent, that would help the showstops. And he sent us this earlier.
I don't like sas. Do youmind that I read this? Kates?
Is that all right? Okay?I don't like sas. But finally
somebody at ESPN is calling out thisBronnie James masquerade besides Kendrick Perkins. And
(05:08):
this is the clip that he sentus. Stephen A Smith on first take
in the quick takes portion, right, believe you just deliver the take and
there is no response or pushback.The next person gets a quick take,
is what I'm guessing a quick takeis well, you gotta you know he
mix it up how you give thetake? Right, So here's stephen A's
quick take. So much of what'stranspiring seems so transparent it's insulting. You
(05:34):
have a situation where Bonnie James Goodis projected as the is ranked ninety eight,
okay on a talent pool. Hegoes to the NBA combine Molly and
it drops forty four slots to fiftyfour, and the Lakers have a fifty
(05:55):
fifty in the second round. Youknow, I mean what really is like
really, you know, not muchtopid. I mean, Molly, he
didn't drop thirty eight slots yea,unders said, like in the fifty eight
or something sixty, right, hedidn't drop fifty slots the you know,
the forty eight or something. Ohno, right around the number where the
Lakers get the pick. In otherwords, so if we pick them,
(06:19):
it's justified because look, they hada rank fifty fourth that we had to
fifty to fifty pick. I mean, come on, man, you know
you just you just sit up thereand you watch these folks and it's like,
just like I said before, justto reiterate my point, you could
have started the podcast with JJ inthe playoffs, but off season after the
Lakers moved on from Darving him,Oh no, you're gonna start the podcast
(06:42):
on basketball mind again while Dolving isgonna I just feel like I'm in an
offensive meeting with Hugh Jackson whenever stephenA starts it. Really it's an uncanny
delivery similarity, is it? Yeah? What immediately jumped out to me and
recognize Stephen A is the highest paidemployee at ESPN. He has built a
(07:08):
brand unto itself beyond ESPN. TheStephen A. Smith brand is a brand,
and it's a brand of journalism thatis not journalism. It's like the
Stephen A. Smith style. Imean, there was a time that he
was a journalist. He was awriter for the Philadelphia Inquirer and he wrote
about horse racing and it was likeplash ki. But now this is something
totally different. What he immediately jumpedout to me because the ninety eighth ranking
(07:31):
was a month ago, the jumpto fifty fourth was three weeks ago.
The hell of a jump? Thetie between Lebron and JJ Reddick was discussed
two weeks ago. Uh huh,Kendrick Perkins, Who the hell do you
think you are? Coming on mynetwork and given an alternate take to what
(07:54):
everybody else is saying and having theentire sports media world celebrate you for doing
that on ESPN? Who who doyou think you are that you can get
the attention for going after ESPN foradjusting their rankings to benefit Lebron James,
Ronnie James when I am supposed tohave the spotlight on me, So you
(08:18):
feel like he was take envious.Take Peter Gazon, Oh, he was
taking Peter gaz and is all hewas staring down that Peter gaze. Oh
he had a take. Oh thatwas a little bit of an alternate take.
Oh you think you think awful?Announcing can celebrate you for an alternate
take on Brownie James. And I'mjust gonna sit oddly by and allow that
(08:43):
to happen when when stuff is amonth old, everybody had to do something
when Bill Walton died, of course, and stephen A's whole thing was,
you know, I've lost a friend, and everybody on Twitter was like,
go ahead and make it about yourself, the son of a bitchy. Oh
(09:05):
oh well. The other thing,that's the thing that jumped out to me.
Did you know that Lebron and JJhave a podcast? The thing that
jumped out about it to me isthat it's just an ESPN rank. It
doesn't mean anything anyway. It's justESPN did a mock draft with Brownie James
in it two years ago. Yep, it's stupid. I gotta get in
(09:26):
on this. How dare you celebrateKendrick Perkins and not me? Shot talking
schematics talks the next and and allof this they've been doing that performance then
Darbenham gets fired and then after thatJJ Reddick emerges as a top candidate for
the suspicious change. Now Lebron wantsus to say had nothing to do with
(09:46):
it. As I said on theair of the day, I guess wait
till he finds out about and humpwait until he gets that conspiracy theory gout.
And there's always the as I saidon the air the other day before
Kendrick Perkins, Oh yeah, sure, I guess wan plus one really does
equal four. Huh he doesn't gothree, he goes and one more.
(10:07):
Well, good job, well thatKendrick said three. Dat I guess one
plus one really does equal four.Now, sadly Indiana State is in terret
halt. Yeah, that's another thingwrong. Today. I got a text
I am on fire, Petros.I can guarantee you I am in tarot
(10:28):
halt right now. And I'm lookingat the sycamores beautiful. So there is
one good reason that the Larry Birdmuse. How about that, listener,
go snap a picture of the museum. Yeah, let's exactly get over there
there. We did have a guywho was over at the Claremont that went
over to see the ribbon cutting withthe Giant scissors and Oral Herscheizer and the
(10:48):
Roe Tolo Chevrolet guy doing a dancerunning. This is the song of the
day. A Groove Is in theHeart is our song of the day,
a super hit that took nineteen ninetyby storm from New York City club dance
group Dlight. A crunchy groove foryour Thursday afternoon on the Petrosen Money Show.
(11:13):
Delighted to be back on your AMradio it to spend some quality time
with four full hours of great sportstalk and your favorite crunchy tunes to put
some groove in your heart before anoff day edition of Dodger Talk takes over,
hosted by our dear friend mister TimCats, with the latest on the
Dodgers, along with that farm report, all coming up at seven o'clock.
(11:35):
I bet if Indiana State had asurf team you would have remembered. Maybe
they do with a sycamore surf.We serve sycamore made boards. We'll be
right back with three things Thursday scracking everybody, welcome back. The guy
(11:58):
that won the tickets want to meetTell everybody, Yeah, Spencer's from West
Covina, Okay. Wanted everybody tonot Pasadena West Covine and he won tickets
and reservations to the Fontaine Blue inLas Vegas, so we're still giving those
away. We are your Homa showAtani and the Dodgers here on the Petrol
Some Money Show. We got DodgersRockies coming up tomorrow. We'll be on
(12:20):
from three to six tonight. TimKates has off night. Dodger Talk starts
at seven, featuring the Farm Reportwith Dodger Luminary the Wall. Tim Kates,
I'll see if baseball in ninety six, it's time for the three things
thirty three things. Well, thefirst thing we did in the number of
(12:48):
the day because we want to giveample time to David Vassey to share a
harrowing tale in the very next segment. So consider that number one. Here's
number two, the stephen A stephenA number one. You are not going
to get my spot like Kenrick Perkins. I don't know who the hell you
think you are, but that gotway too much traction. Wach what I'm
about to do. You don't wantto go too hard and push back on
(13:11):
Rich Paul and Lebron can't do that. Lakers are the Lakers. They have
always taken care of their stars exceptfor Shaquille O'Neil, because Kobe was the
bigger star and he didn't watch shackaround. Magic Johnson got that twenty five
million dollars when he announced he hadHIV. Kobe got the two year,
forty eight and a half million dollarsin twenty fourteen when he was clearly at
the end of his playing career.Team wasn't really going anywhere. And it
(13:33):
is kind of wild to think thatKobe got two years forty eight million bucks
and Lebron is about to sign threeyears one hundred and sixty five million dollars
fifty five million dollars per year.When Kobe's like, can you believe they're
paying him? That was twenty fourmillion dollars. That is where basketball salaries
it got. But hey, whatever, they love having stars. They have
(13:56):
always had one, except for thatone window post Kobe pre Lebron that was
a complete disaster because of poor drafting. G Damn Strawberry Pancakes. Have they
drafted Jason Tatum or Dieron Fox insteadof Lonzo Ball. Have they drafted Devin
Booker instead of D'Angelo Russell, JalenBrown instead of Brandon Ingram. Maybe we're
not getting nailed by the king,but instead here we are and here we
(14:20):
will be. Jj Reddick by allaccounts, sounds like he will be the
head coach that he's already trying toassemble a staff and making those calls.
It feels like all these things thatwe know are going to happen, we
just have to like go through themotions. It's an insult. Jj Reddick.
Bronny, Bronnie will be drafted withthe fifty fifth pick lebron will come
back, Bronni will be there.They will sell it all summer long,
(14:45):
and we'll be told that what we'reseeing is not what we're looking at,
you know, and that's that's whatwe're in store for this sys. This
one jumped out of me, Tooda. It's like we're gone to boot camp.
We know what it's going to be. Like, tip of our cap
to our friend Jovon Boja in theAthletic Reporting today, and I'm just going
to quote directly from the article regardingTray Young. Young has been linked to
(15:07):
the Lakers for a while BLT badlid Tray. That's right, though some
around the league believe his switch ofrepresentation from Clutch Sports to CAAA earlier this
month has decreased the odds he landsin Los Angeles if he becomes available,
and that shouldn't be the case.Yeah, wait a minute. A guy
who's a creator, who has averagednine and a half assists per season,
(15:30):
a steal per season, twenty fivepoints per game in his career, someone
that last year saw thirty seven percenton his threes and has range out to
the logo, is no longer goingto be pursued because he ditched Clutch Sports,
the agency run by Lebron James underthe guys that it's actually run by
Rich Paul. Now that's not howsports franchises are supposed to work with him.
(15:56):
Now, you get Tray Young,You go get him because he's a
perfect fit. You deal with hisagent at CIA. You can't be like
Scott Boris doesn't run the Dodger.Right right, we're out of Cleveland as
Donovan Mitchell is receptive to an extensionthat could halt his being put on the
market. But if he does stay, the Darius Garland would be made available.
(16:18):
Darius Garland eighteen points per game,seven assists per game, and a
thirty eight percent career say that outloud. I've never heard of it.
I'm glad you brought that up,which you Cara. Guess who represents him
Clutch. Yeah, turns out theseare the clutches of Clutch represented by Clutch
(16:41):
Sports. Before we get to Lebron'slatest appearance on his drink the wine,
Spell the wine, Get that girl. It's very similar to that, but
it's drink the wine drops seven hundredf bombs because we're so street. Oh
like Fred podcast, that's like Fred. I would like to harken back eight
(17:03):
years ago, six years ago,six or eight years ago, eight eight
years ago to give the content thecomment that he made a couple of days
ago some context, way back machineto twenty sixteen. It is a question
not related to the game, butsince there's been a lot of publicity yesterday
(17:29):
and today about Godfather Part two,which is the scene or the moment,
or the phrase or the quote youlike more from the movie Oh from my
Grandfather. Too many different phrases andtoo many different lines in that movie to
just categorize one. But Quitch isthe one quit inspiration represents you more.
(17:56):
I mean each movie is nine hourslong. What do you want me to
do. I don't know. Letyou pick one and I row what it
is. It's a great trilogy.No, you've never seen it exactly right
now. That made that comment madea little bit of a resurgence about eight
(18:21):
months ago. It felt like whenthe whole Lebron maybe a year ago,
Johnny Knows, all these players,the Cuavo, the Lebron Live, Malcolm
X book, the Malcolm X theyall kind of made a reappearance of Lebron
is full of ads. I'm gonnasit here uncomfortably with this book and handle
it. Let's go to the uh, let's go to the Yeah, just
(18:44):
flip the pages a little bit.It was like Zoolander with the computer.
Let's go to the book. Drinkthe wine. Drop the f bombs podcast
from a couple of days ago.There's teams out here looking to see how
to be successful. Obviously you've gota half star. You gotta have one,
one, possibly two. You knowthat's gonna you know, gonna make
sure that everybody stays even killed.But at the end of the day,
(19:07):
you got to have those soldiers around. Man. You gotta have you know,
the conciergles and the and the Copposand of rest of those guys,
that's gonna be ready to go,man. And that's what we see at
the Final four right now in theNBA cancier A little bit of a lesson
here for Lebron. If I may, there is no s in Italian,
it wouldn't be coppo, it wouldbe copy. And if you actually watch
(19:29):
The Godfather, you would know thatthe Coppo, the toothy copy is freaking
Don Corleone and it's not consiglieries.Well that's not what he said. You
know, the conciergles and the Coppos, and you gotta have Cancilieri, the
Capos and the you know, theconcierges and the Coppos and of rest of
(19:51):
those guys, that's gonna be readyto go. Man, trying so shut
up again. You never saw theGodfather there, You never saw the Godfather.
To eight years later, no oneis gonna hear that and say,
oh, man, Lebron, Imet Lebron, watched the god Rather do
(20:18):
me own a production company. Didn'tyou have the audacity to remake House Party
and the Capos and you've never seenThe Godfather and you had the balls to
remake House party capos. Now whatagain, like a guy that lies a
lot, like cop. It's acaptain. You know you're saying you don't
(20:40):
need stars, that you need soldiers. It's well, you said you have
to have your stars, you gottahave to and then you have your cap
and that then speaks to the well, we don't need Trey Young. We
don't need another star. What weneed is Darius god So is Trey Young
is like Frankie Pantangel. He's gonnahave to kill He's gonna to kill himself
(21:03):
in the Bathub. It's like againto to echo. Even though Trey Young
like Johnny Olaf because he's from Atlantaand he knows all the spots with the
Donkeys show and all that. That'swhat got him in Trouble, Fredo in
Trouble and in Nevara. You know, the cop into this with Lebron.
(21:25):
This is something we could really talkto Lebron about. Is there out there
we can get We can get wecan get the great writer of the Godfather
On who's dead, but we couldstill get him on n doesn't know.
We'll get Mario Puzzo, which ishow he is affectionately known in my family,
are you reading the Mario Puzzo book. Yes, it is a little
(21:48):
bit above your reading level. There'sa lot of sex and yeah, dad,
thanks, thanks, but you justcalled them puzzo. So Mario Puzzo
book, you know, we needsoldiers, just one or two stars to
other Lakers conveniently have one or twostars. We're seeking Trey Young, who,
by the way, may not beas good of a player, but
is a considerably bigger star than AnthonyDavis, a much bigger superstar type player
(22:14):
that would draw people in to comesee him play. So, like,
are you telling me that, likeD'Angelo Russell is like one of the Rosatto
brothers, Like, he's not noa star, he's a cag siggle.
I can't even pronounce it. I'llsay, here's the deal. Lebron knows
(22:34):
because of his lifestyle as a billionaireand one of the most successful basketball players,
if not the most of all time, he understands what a concierge is.
Right, he knows what And I'msure he's seen the show Glee with
that big old, tall lady JaneLynch. Right, concierg Glees, that's
(22:56):
what it is, you know.The capos. I think Capo is like
a black fraternity. You've never seenThe Godfather? What Jack was? Stop
stop? I would you give me? But the phrase give it to me?
(23:25):
But it presents more. I meaneach movie is nine hours long.
I mean, at all, youcould get through the whole trilogy of nine
hours. Shut up? Trey Youngnot available because he fired Clutch Sports for
not doing their job. Don't youthink he could just sit down and like
knock it out a half hour ata time. You'd like to think so,
(23:45):
I don't believe he has much todo right now. I believe he
could probably knock out the trilogy startingright now, especially if you don't really
need to worry about the third one. I mean, I'm way ahead of
the game on this. I havea Fredo Corleone Funk Pop. Why don't
you just pick and I'll roll withthat. So, who's Tom Hayden the
(24:07):
concierge? I would assume your headcoach would be Cooncilier, Right, that's
the guy that's advising you on whatexcuse me? Cos it's JJ redde is
your concierg Glee. But he doesn'tknow that because he doesn't understand you know
what what Hayden was in the moviebecause he's never seen it. The real
Lebron scene, the true Lebron scenewould be the one from Godfather won right
(24:32):
where Michael Corleon is sitting there witha broken jaw and he's slowly taking control
and his hands are steady, andhe goes, we have some friends in
the newspapers, don't we Yeah,yeah, they might like a story where
my son is you know, theymight like that. Yes, yes,
Cosagle's submissions. Think of the hotelConcierge Coppos, think of Glee concierg You
(25:00):
know, the Coppos and the ItalyMatt as a young person, most people
have seen The Godfather and the Godfathertoo. Yeah, but you know,
Kobe and you you got a legup on Lebron with the Italy. It's
not funny to us. You say, no, but maybe there is a
phrase, perhaps perhaps something you know, no, Tweedo, you go ahead
(25:26):
and choose that there, I don'tknow. I let you pick one.
Yeah, great, Icenzo, Iguarantee it. We look bad. I
guarantee it. He's like, Oh, I'll show them. You don't think
I ever saw god watch this.I'm just gonna slide this right, into
my drink, the wine drop theF bomb podcast, you know, the
(25:47):
in the coppos, and that's gonnabe ready to go. Man, that's
good. We can just do that. I mean, let's be fair.
Tupac messed up the Machiavelli. Youknow, he called it Machavelli. It's
like what he did? What areyou and you went to Juilliard? You're
gonna drag your the over that man'sgrave. Tupac's got like seven billion times
the educational lebron Cossa Glieri's Casa Glary, concierg Glee. You know, the
(26:18):
concierg. He says, Casa,He says concierg. Know, No,
you're you're trying to make him lookworse than he is. Concierge. He
calls the concierge all the time.Oh God, some might even say he's
gleeful about it. I've so Godfather, watch this Caposh, cassier Glees leave
(26:45):
the mic, JJ take the canoles? Are they gonna sit next to each
other on the plane? Whoever getson first, Like I say, Jessee,
there's gonna be a blanket with ahole in it too. I brought
my whiteboard with all what we'll beback, David Veasse. That's your some
(27:11):
money in five to seventy l ASports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app Off
today or the Dodgers. Tim Kateswill have off day Dodger Talk at seven
p m. David Vasse is ourdeath. David Vass. He was holding
up the Red Man, Matt,you missed it. I missed it.
He was trying to make Higgins eatthe Red Man. Anyway, We're watching
(27:32):
Magnum p I, A big Magnump I fan, the Great David Vasse.
We were gonna give Dave the dayoff, but it was such a
harrowing journey back from the New YorkMets sweep that Dave needed to come on
and tell us what was popping off. Kate's is gonna do off night?
Dodger Talk tonight at the Real UnderscoreDV, Spectrum Sportsnet. Great week of
TV for him in Cincinnati and ofcourse our guy here on the radio and
(27:55):
also MLB Network. What's cracking,Dave? How are you? I'm doing
pretty good? Cond during The Dodgerswere delayed seven hours at the Newark Airport
last night and did not land herein Los Angeles at Lax until seven forty
five Pacific time. They did nottake off until five twenty Eastern times.
So certainly the vibes of a sweepwere derailed by the delays caused by weather,
(28:22):
then mechanical issues, then the pilotsunion timing out the current pilots.
Then they had to bring new pilotsin well that they were winning for the
second set of pilots who were landingfrom an international flight, and those pilots
claimed fatigue, so they had tocall pilots that were at home that are
on call. So that took anotherclose to two hours, and then once
(28:45):
they fired everything up, it wasseven hours total. The Dodgers were delayed
in Newark, New Jersey before theywere able to take off. You save
five hour flight. Were you sittingon the plane the whole time we were
sitting on the plane the entire timewe were in Otani, Mookie Bets was
(29:06):
right behind me. Tyler Glass nowwas right behind me. Uh Well,
at the point where we where theyannounced that we're waiting for these pilots and
it's going to uh take probably twohours before they show up, that's when
everybody just basically said, you knowwhat, let's just take a nap now.
And Uh, basically a lot ofguys slept on the plane from that
(29:29):
point on. What about you.Uh, I had one of those weird
seats where it was a two seaterin the emergency exit. Can you believe
that I was entrusted with the livesof every Dodger player in that row And
the seat did not recline, andand there's nowhere to lean on. You
can't lean on the window. Iused like three pillows in my sport code
(29:52):
jacket to lean against the second seatthere, and UH slept halfway up,
halfway down. That's the most harrowingDodre traveling experience you've ever had. I
mean, you've been on that planefor a decade plus. Yeah, I
would say it's top the other two. There was one that really stands out
back in I don't know twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, where the landing gear
(30:14):
on the plane did not work andwe had an emergency landing back at the
San Diego Airport on we were supposedto be going to Texas to play the
Rangers, and I guess they realizedafter takeoff the landing gear did not work,
so forty five minutes into the flight, they were turned back to San
Diego and we did not arrive inTexas until like six or seven am,
(30:40):
and the Dodgers had to play agame that night. There was another situation
similar to this where there was anextended delay because of mechanical issues and the
pilots, but they allowed the playersto get off the plane. I guess
the problem is it was raining andthere was lightning last night, so not
really able to get off the plane. Well, I guess good fortune here.
(31:00):
No game today, so at leastyou get a break there. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, that's right.Yeah, full off day for the
Dodgers. So what is Otani dude? Does he like laugh and smile or
does he look like livid like mostpeople would be. Well, honestly,
guys and somebody ebody the travel secretarylike Manny Ramire. This is the remarkable
(31:21):
part and shows a lot of uh. It reflects well on the Dodgers because
nobody freaked out. Nobody went intoa tantrum. Obviously guys were annoyed and
upset and frustrated, but nobody hada complete meltdown and started screaming at anybody.
So I would say that is thesilver lining in all of this,
that everybody kept their composure and justrolled with it. The one guy that
(31:45):
was really wearing it this trip wasEric Carros, who was picked this trip
o Oral Hersheizer was doing meet andgreets and opening a memorabilia shop. Carros
wore the rain delay where we uhwe. He took the seven train back
to Grand Central and then walked abouta mile back to our hotel in the
(32:06):
rain, and he turned to meand said, I swear at one point
in my life I batted clean upfor the Dodgers. Can't yeah, can't
show Hao Tani though, who batsfor the Dodgers currently? Kid, he
just like make a phone call andget a pilot there faster. No,
he's like a Japanese like most famousone of the guys, and the first
(32:28):
guy I saw when I parked atthe airport for this road trip was show
Heyo Tani. The last guy Isaw when I was getting into my car
to come home with show Heo Tanibecause he was parked right across from nobody
tried to pull up Matt money Smithand like charted their own flight on the
side or like rent a car orthrow money at it and it'll work.
Right. We were in the middleof Newark Airport somewhere. Nobody was getting
(32:51):
off that bird. But honestly,the reason why I want to share that
story is because fans and Petro somemoney think these guys just show up.
There's a lot of other things thatgo into it. The good news,
I think they open a refrigerator androll them out like corpses. The good
news is the Dodgers start a shortthree game homestand against one of the worst
teams in baseball, the Rockies,before the MLB schedule makers send them back
(33:17):
to the East Coast to Pittsburgh andYankee Stadium. So the players aren't that
thrilled with the schedule maker back therein New York, so things that during
this stretches hack on smoothly. Itshouldn't happen to the Dodgers, right,
don't they always got the Rockies orDiamondbacks. That's fine. Well, the
reason why it happens to the Dodgersis because they are America's team, right
(33:38):
with Otani and Mookie and Freddy.Any other team would have played a day
game at City Field yesterday, butUncle Stevie wanted to try to get the
biggest gate in New York last nightand took it to the limit of a
four to ten starret Eastern time.Most teams would play a one o'clock game,
but the show Dodgers, they wantthem in prime time. I'm as
(34:00):
close as possible for every game andnext week in Yankee Stadium. All three
games are on national television. Allthree games, including Getaway Day on Sunday
night Baseball a night games. I'mnot a fan of that format. Thank
you, Dave, and have agreat rest. Thank you for the harrowing
(34:22):
tale of travel. These are humanbeings that go through terrible ordeals on the

the day. His words the wordof the day. Matt, you love
Indiana. I do. That's whereyou're from. Back home again in Indiana
today, Terra Hotes, Indiana welcomed. Not just in Claremont. The Oral
Hershiser Sports Memorabilia Museum, a newLarry Bird museum officially open. Oh,
(01:53):
I've been waiting. The museum containsmemorabilia from Bird's high school, college,
and NBA career, interactive exit hibbits, and interviews with coaches, teammates,
and rivals. Isaiah Thomas is goingto stand out front and tell everybody that
you're wasting your time. The onlyreason anybody cares whatever whities because he's white.
Whatever you crackers. The museum islocated in the Terre Haute Convention Center.
(02:17):
As It opens Wednesday through Sunday,closed on Mondays and Tuesdays because those
are Larry Bird's drinking days. Admissionis free, okay. When asked about
it, Larry said this, Ithink they've got enough there to keep everybody's
interest. I think it's going tobe good for the city and a lot
(02:38):
of people will come through it.Bird described the museum opening reception as unbelievable.
I think that's what social media isall about. Thank god they didn't
have that when I was playing,I was a drunk womanizer. No,
no, no, oh god no. There's so many young kids wearing my
jersey. Tera Hate has followed mycareer. You don't make these journeys alone.
(02:58):
Tera Hate. I was always hadmy back, beautiful, beautifully put
where's the love for French lick bitch? Anyway, let's go six find out
more at Larrybirdmuseum dot com to planyour trip to Terre Haute. Listen,
you know what we're gonna do herein Tara Hate. What's that? We're
(03:19):
gonna build a Larry Bird museum?Why? Because for Ta Tara Hat has
always been with Larry. It's notwhere Indiana state is. We know,
it's not where he was born,No, we know, but it is
in the state. Okay, guys, ever watched Parks and Wreck, the
TV show. It's based on alittle city in Indiana, Pawnee, Indiana.
It kind of feels like something theywould do. Just build a Larry
(03:39):
Bird museum. Why not try toget Larry out there? Whiting, Indiana
built the Mascot Hall of Fame.I have the T shirt, which I
believe is hemorrhaging money right now.Turns out, once you go to the
Mascot Hall of Fame, you maynot return. Second. It's like a
it feels like maybe it's a onetime what I'd like to visit. Get
(04:00):
dj Molski moved out there and hecan be that's right back into my splot
at usc hoops. All right,Matt, it's time for the number of
the day. Do we have ourwinner? Oh? What do we have
a winner? I can call himback. Oh, don't worry about it.
Who is it? Spencer from thesix to six? Congratulations some rich
guy from Pasadena. That's all weneed. Here's my number. Number of
(04:21):
the day, Number of the daystwo, Pat Hayden's neighbor, Spencer.
Number of the day is two,as in second second tim Kate sent us
sends us text all the time,A great producer, like the silver medal.
Yeah, like you got the silverdude. Kate's sends us texts regularly
(04:42):
does a bang up job. Heis the executive producer of The Petros and
Money Show, constantly feeding us contentthat he believes would be h not just
pertinent, that would help the showstops. And he sent us this earlier.
I don't like sas. Do youmind that I read this? Kates?
Is that all right? Okay?I don't like sas. But finally
somebody at ESPN is calling out thisBronnie James masquerade besides Kendrick Perkins. And
(05:08):
this is the clip that he sentus. Stephen A Smith on first take
in the quick takes portion, right, believe you just deliver the take and
there is no response or pushback.The next person gets a quick take,
is what I'm guessing a quick takeis well, you gotta you know he
mix it up how you give thetake? Right, So here's stephen A's
quick take. So much of what'stranspiring seems so transparent it's insulting. You
(05:34):
have a situation where Bonnie James Goodis projected as the is ranked ninety eight,
okay on a talent pool. Hegoes to the NBA combine Molly and
it drops forty four slots to fiftyfour, and the Lakers have a fifty
(05:55):
fifty in the second round. Youknow, I mean what really is like
really, you know, not muchtopid. I mean, Molly, he
didn't drop thirty eight slots yea,unders said, like in the fifty eight
or something sixty, right, hedidn't drop fifty slots the you know,
the forty eight or something. Ohno, right around the number where the
Lakers get the pick. In otherwords, so if we pick them,
(06:19):
it's justified because look, they hada rank fifty fourth that we had to
fifty to fifty pick. I mean, come on, man, you know
you just you just sit up thereand you watch these folks and it's like,
just like I said before, justto reiterate my point, you could
have started the podcast with JJ inthe playoffs, but off season after the
Lakers moved on from Darving him,Oh no, you're gonna start the podcast
(06:42):
on basketball mind again while Dolving isgonna I just feel like I'm in an
offensive meeting with Hugh Jackson whenever stephenA starts it. Really it's an uncanny
delivery similarity, is it? Yeah? What immediately jumped out to me and
recognize Stephen A is the highest paidemployee at ESPN. He has built a
(07:08):
brand unto itself beyond ESPN. TheStephen A. Smith brand is a brand,
and it's a brand of journalism thatis not journalism. It's like the
Stephen A. Smith style. Imean, there was a time that he
was a journalist. He was awriter for the Philadelphia Inquirer and he wrote
about horse racing and it was likeplash ki. But now this is something
totally different. What he immediately jumpedout to me because the ninety eighth ranking
(07:31):
was a month ago, the jumpto fifty fourth was three weeks ago.
The hell of a jump? Thetie between Lebron and JJ Reddick was discussed
two weeks ago. Uh huh,Kendrick Perkins, Who the hell do you
think you are? Coming on mynetwork and given an alternate take to what
(07:54):
everybody else is saying and having theentire sports media world celebrate you for doing
that on ESPN? Who who doyou think you are that you can get
the attention for going after ESPN foradjusting their rankings to benefit Lebron James,
Ronnie James when I am supposed tohave the spotlight on me, So you
(08:18):
feel like he was take envious.Take Peter Gazon, Oh, he was
taking Peter gaz and is all hewas staring down that Peter gaze. Oh
he had a take. Oh thatwas a little bit of an alternate take.
Oh you think you think awful?Announcing can celebrate you for an alternate
take on Brownie James. And I'mjust gonna sit oddly by and allow that
(08:43):
to happen when when stuff is amonth old, everybody had to do something
when Bill Walton died, of course, and stephen A's whole thing was,
you know, I've lost a friend, and everybody on Twitter was like,
go ahead and make it about yourself, the son of a bitchy. Oh
(09:05):
oh well. The other thing,that's the thing that jumped out to me.
Did you know that Lebron and JJhave a podcast? The thing that
jumped out about it to me isthat it's just an ESPN rank. It
doesn't mean anything anyway. It's justESPN did a mock draft with Brownie James
in it two years ago. Yep, it's stupid. I gotta get in
(09:26):
on this. How dare you celebrateKendrick Perkins and not me? Shot talking
schematics talks the next and and allof this they've been doing that performance then
Darbenham gets fired and then after thatJJ Reddick emerges as a top candidate for
the suspicious change. Now Lebron wantsus to say had nothing to do with
(09:46):
it. As I said on theair of the day, I guess wait
till he finds out about and humpwait until he gets that conspiracy theory gout.
And there's always the as I saidon the air the other day before
Kendrick Perkins, Oh yeah, sure, I guess wan plus one really does
equal four. Huh he doesn't gothree, he goes and one more.
(10:07):
Well, good job, well thatKendrick said three. Dat I guess one
plus one really does equal four.Now, sadly Indiana State is in terret
halt. Yeah, that's another thingwrong. Today. I got a text
I am on fire, Petros.I can guarantee you I am in tarot
(10:28):
halt right now. And I'm lookingat the sycamores beautiful. So there is
one good reason that the Larry Birdmuse. How about that, listener,
go snap a picture of the museum. Yeah, let's exactly get over there
there. We did have a guywho was over at the Claremont that went
over to see the ribbon cutting withthe Giant scissors and Oral Herscheizer and the
(10:48):
Roe Tolo Chevrolet guy doing a dancerunning. This is the song of the
day. A Groove Is in theHeart is our song of the day,
a super hit that took nineteen ninetyby storm from New York City club dance
group Dlight. A crunchy groove foryour Thursday afternoon on the Petrosen Money Show.
(11:13):
Delighted to be back on your AMradio it to spend some quality time
with four full hours of great sportstalk and your favorite crunchy tunes to put
some groove in your heart before anoff day edition of Dodger Talk takes over,
hosted by our dear friend mister TimCats, with the latest on the
Dodgers, along with that farm report, all coming up at seven o'clock.
(11:35):
I bet if Indiana State had asurf team you would have remembered. Maybe
they do with a sycamore surf.We serve sycamore made boards. We'll be
right back with three things Thursday scracking everybody, welcome back. The guy
(11:58):
that won the tickets want to meetTell everybody, Yeah, Spencer's from West
Covina, Okay. Wanted everybody tonot Pasadena West Covine and he won tickets
and reservations to the Fontaine Blue inLas Vegas, so we're still giving those
away. We are your Homa showAtani and the Dodgers here on the Petrol
Some Money Show. We got DodgersRockies coming up tomorrow. We'll be on
(12:20):
from three to six tonight. TimKates has off night. Dodger Talk starts
at seven, featuring the Farm Reportwith Dodger Luminary the Wall. Tim Kates,
I'll see if baseball in ninety six, it's time for the three things
thirty three things. Well, thefirst thing we did in the number of
(12:48):
the day because we want to giveample time to David Vassey to share a
harrowing tale in the very next segment. So consider that number one. Here's
number two, the stephen A stephenA number one. You are not going
to get my spot like Kenrick Perkins. I don't know who the hell you
think you are, but that gotway too much traction. Wach what I'm
about to do. You don't wantto go too hard and push back on
(13:11):
Rich Paul and Lebron can't do that. Lakers are the Lakers. They have
always taken care of their stars exceptfor Shaquille O'Neil, because Kobe was the
bigger star and he didn't watch shackaround. Magic Johnson got that twenty five
million dollars when he announced he hadHIV. Kobe got the two year,
forty eight and a half million dollarsin twenty fourteen when he was clearly at
the end of his playing career.Team wasn't really going anywhere. And it
(13:33):
is kind of wild to think thatKobe got two years forty eight million bucks
and Lebron is about to sign threeyears one hundred and sixty five million dollars
fifty five million dollars per year.When Kobe's like, can you believe they're
paying him? That was twenty fourmillion dollars. That is where basketball salaries
it got. But hey, whatever, they love having stars. They have
(13:56):
always had one, except for thatone window post Kobe pre Lebron that was
a complete disaster because of poor drafting. G Damn Strawberry Pancakes. Have they
drafted Jason Tatum or Dieron Fox insteadof Lonzo Ball. Have they drafted Devin
Booker instead of D'Angelo Russell, JalenBrown instead of Brandon Ingram. Maybe we're
not getting nailed by the king,but instead here we are and here we
(14:20):
will be. Jj Reddick by allaccounts, sounds like he will be the
head coach that he's already trying toassemble a staff and making those calls.
It feels like all these things thatwe know are going to happen, we
just have to like go through themotions. It's an insult. Jj Reddick.
Bronny, Bronnie will be drafted withthe fifty fifth pick lebron will come
back, Bronni will be there.They will sell it all summer long,
(14:45):
and we'll be told that what we'reseeing is not what we're looking at,
you know, and that's that's whatwe're in store for this sys. This
one jumped out of me, Tooda. It's like we're gone to boot camp.
We know what it's going to be. Like, tip of our cap
to our friend Jovon Boja in theAthletic Reporting today, and I'm just going
to quote directly from the article regardingTray Young. Young has been linked to
(15:07):
the Lakers for a while BLT badlid Tray. That's right, though some
around the league believe his switch ofrepresentation from Clutch Sports to CAAA earlier this
month has decreased the odds he landsin Los Angeles if he becomes available,
and that shouldn't be the case.Yeah, wait a minute. A guy
who's a creator, who has averagednine and a half assists per season,
(15:30):
a steal per season, twenty fivepoints per game in his career, someone
that last year saw thirty seven percenton his threes and has range out to
the logo, is no longer goingto be pursued because he ditched Clutch Sports,
the agency run by Lebron James underthe guys that it's actually run by
Rich Paul. Now that's not howsports franchises are supposed to work with him.
(15:56):
Now, you get Tray Young,You go get him because he's a
perfect fit. You deal with hisagent at CIA. You can't be like
Scott Boris doesn't run the Dodger.Right right, we're out of Cleveland as
Donovan Mitchell is receptive to an extensionthat could halt his being put on the
market. But if he does stay, the Darius Garland would be made available.
(16:18):
Darius Garland eighteen points per game,seven assists per game, and a
thirty eight percent career say that outloud. I've never heard of it.
I'm glad you brought that up,which you Cara. Guess who represents him
Clutch. Yeah, turns out theseare the clutches of Clutch represented by Clutch
(16:41):
Sports. Before we get to Lebron'slatest appearance on his drink the wine,
Spell the wine, Get that girl. It's very similar to that, but
it's drink the wine drops seven hundredf bombs because we're so street. Oh
like Fred podcast, that's like Fred. I would like to harken back eight
(17:03):
years ago, six years ago,six or eight years ago, eight eight
years ago to give the content thecomment that he made a couple of days
ago some context, way back machineto twenty sixteen. It is a question
not related to the game, butsince there's been a lot of publicity yesterday
(17:29):
and today about Godfather Part two,which is the scene or the moment,
or the phrase or the quote youlike more from the movie Oh from my
Grandfather. Too many different phrases andtoo many different lines in that movie to
just categorize one. But Quitch isthe one quit inspiration represents you more.
(17:56):
I mean each movie is nine hourslong. What do you want me to
do. I don't know. Letyou pick one and I row what it
is. It's a great trilogy.No, you've never seen it exactly right
now. That made that comment madea little bit of a resurgence about eight
(18:21):
months ago. It felt like whenthe whole Lebron maybe a year ago,
Johnny Knows, all these players,the Cuavo, the Lebron Live, Malcolm
X book, the Malcolm X theyall kind of made a reappearance of Lebron
is full of ads. I'm gonnasit here uncomfortably with this book and handle
it. Let's go to the uh, let's go to the Yeah, just
(18:44):
flip the pages a little bit.It was like Zoolander with the computer.
Let's go to the book. Drinkthe wine. Drop the f bombs podcast
from a couple of days ago.There's teams out here looking to see how
to be successful. Obviously you've gota half star. You gotta have one,
one, possibly two. You knowthat's gonna you know, gonna make
sure that everybody stays even killed.But at the end of the day,
(19:07):
you got to have those soldiers around. Man. You gotta have you know,
the conciergles and the and the Copposand of rest of those guys,
that's gonna be ready to go,man. And that's what we see at
the Final four right now in theNBA cancier A little bit of a lesson
here for Lebron. If I may, there is no s in Italian,
it wouldn't be coppo, it wouldbe copy. And if you actually watch
(19:29):
The Godfather, you would know thatthe Coppo, the toothy copy is freaking
Don Corleone and it's not consiglieries.Well that's not what he said. You
know, the conciergles and the Coppos, and you gotta have Cancilieri, the
Capos and the you know, theconcierges and the Coppos and of rest of
(19:51):
those guys, that's gonna be readyto go. Man, trying so shut
up again. You never saw theGodfather there, You never saw the Godfather.
To eight years later, no oneis gonna hear that and say,
oh, man, Lebron, Imet Lebron, watched the god Rather do
(20:18):
me own a production company. Didn'tyou have the audacity to remake House Party
and the Capos and you've never seenThe Godfather and you had the balls to
remake House party capos. Now whatagain, like a guy that lies a
lot, like cop. It's acaptain. You know you're saying you don't
(20:40):
need stars, that you need soldiers. It's well, you said you have
to have your stars, you gottahave to and then you have your cap
and that then speaks to the well, we don't need Trey Young. We
don't need another star. What weneed is Darius god So is Trey Young
is like Frankie Pantangel. He's gonnahave to kill He's gonna to kill himself
(21:03):
in the Bathub. It's like againto to echo. Even though Trey Young
like Johnny Olaf because he's from Atlantaand he knows all the spots with the
Donkeys show and all that. That'swhat got him in Trouble, Fredo in
Trouble and in Nevara. You know, the cop into this with Lebron.
(21:25):
This is something we could really talkto Lebron about. Is there out there
we can get We can get wecan get the great writer of the Godfather
On who's dead, but we couldstill get him on n doesn't know.
We'll get Mario Puzzo, which ishow he is affectionately known in my family,
are you reading the Mario Puzzo book. Yes, it is a little
(21:48):
bit above your reading level. There'sa lot of sex and yeah, dad,
thanks, thanks, but you justcalled them puzzo. So Mario Puzzo
book, you know, we needsoldiers, just one or two stars to
other Lakers conveniently have one or twostars. We're seeking Trey Young, who,
by the way, may not beas good of a player, but
is a considerably bigger star than AnthonyDavis, a much bigger superstar type player
(22:14):
that would draw people in to comesee him play. So, like,
are you telling me that, likeD'Angelo Russell is like one of the Rosatto
brothers, Like, he's not noa star, he's a cag siggle.
I can't even pronounce it. I'llsay, here's the deal. Lebron knows
(22:34):
because of his lifestyle as a billionaireand one of the most successful basketball players,
if not the most of all time, he understands what a concierge is.
Right, he knows what And I'msure he's seen the show Glee with
that big old, tall lady JaneLynch. Right, concierg Glees, that's
(22:56):
what it is, you know.The capos. I think Capo is like
a black fraternity. You've never seenThe Godfather? What Jack was? Stop
stop? I would you give me? But the phrase give it to me?
(23:25):
But it presents more. I meaneach movie is nine hours long.
I mean, at all, youcould get through the whole trilogy of nine
hours. Shut up? Trey Youngnot available because he fired Clutch Sports for
not doing their job. Don't youthink he could just sit down and like
knock it out a half hour ata time. You'd like to think so,
(23:45):
I don't believe he has much todo right now. I believe he
could probably knock out the trilogy startingright now, especially if you don't really
need to worry about the third one. I mean, I'm way ahead of
the game on this. I havea Fredo Corleone Funk Pop. Why don't
you just pick and I'll roll withthat. So, who's Tom Hayden the
(24:07):
concierge? I would assume your headcoach would be Cooncilier, Right, that's
the guy that's advising you on whatexcuse me? Cos it's JJ redde is
your concierg Glee. But he doesn'tknow that because he doesn't understand you know
what what Hayden was in the moviebecause he's never seen it. The real
Lebron scene, the true Lebron scenewould be the one from Godfather won right
(24:32):
where Michael Corleon is sitting there witha broken jaw and he's slowly taking control
and his hands are steady, andhe goes, we have some friends in
the newspapers, don't we Yeah,yeah, they might like a story where
my son is you know, theymight like that. Yes, yes,
Cosagle's submissions. Think of the hotelConcierge Coppos, think of Glee concierg You
(25:00):
know, the Coppos and the ItalyMatt as a young person, most people
have seen The Godfather and the Godfathertoo. Yeah, but you know,
Kobe and you you got a legup on Lebron with the Italy. It's
not funny to us. You say, no, but maybe there is a
phrase, perhaps perhaps something you know, no, Tweedo, you go ahead
(25:26):
and choose that there, I don'tknow. I let you pick one.
Yeah, great, Icenzo, Iguarantee it. We look bad. I
guarantee it. He's like, Oh, I'll show them. You don't think
I ever saw god watch this.I'm just gonna slide this right, into
my drink, the wine drop theF bomb podcast, you know, the
(25:47):
in the coppos, and that's gonnabe ready to go. Man, that's
good. We can just do that. I mean, let's be fair.
Tupac messed up the Machiavelli. Youknow, he called it Machavelli. It's
like what he did? What areyou and you went to Juilliard? You're
gonna drag your the over that man'sgrave. Tupac's got like seven billion times
the educational lebron Cossa Glieri's Casa Glary, concierg Glee. You know, the
(26:18):
concierg. He says, Casa,He says concierg. Know, No,
you're you're trying to make him lookworse than he is. Concierge. He
calls the concierge all the time.Oh God, some might even say he's
gleeful about it. I've so Godfather, watch this Caposh, cassier Glees leave
(26:45):
the mic, JJ take the canoles? Are they gonna sit next to each
other on the plane? Whoever getson first, Like I say, Jessee,
there's gonna be a blanket with ahole in it too. I brought
my whiteboard with all what we'll beback, David Veasse. That's your some
(27:11):
money in five to seventy l ASports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app Off
today or the Dodgers. Tim Kateswill have off day Dodger Talk at seven
p m. David Vasse is ourdeath. David Vass. He was holding
up the Red Man, Matt,you missed it. I missed it.
He was trying to make Higgins eatthe Red Man. Anyway, We're watching
(27:32):
Magnum p I, A big Magnump I fan, the Great David Vasse.
We were gonna give Dave the dayoff, but it was such a
harrowing journey back from the New YorkMets sweep that Dave needed to come on
and tell us what was popping off. Kate's is gonna do off night?
Dodger Talk tonight at the Real UnderscoreDV, Spectrum Sportsnet. Great week of
TV for him in Cincinnati and ofcourse our guy here on the radio and
(27:55):
also MLB Network. What's cracking,Dave? How are you? I'm doing
pretty good? Cond during The Dodgerswere delayed seven hours at the Newark Airport
last night and did not land herein Los Angeles at Lax until seven forty
five Pacific time. They did nottake off until five twenty Eastern times.
So certainly the vibes of a sweepwere derailed by the delays caused by weather,
(28:22):
then mechanical issues, then the pilotsunion timing out the current pilots.
Then they had to bring new pilotsin well that they were winning for the
second set of pilots who were landingfrom an international flight, and those pilots
claimed fatigue, so they had tocall pilots that were at home that are
on call. So that took anotherclose to two hours, and then once
(28:45):
they fired everything up, it wasseven hours total. The Dodgers were delayed
in Newark, New Jersey before theywere able to take off. You save
five hour flight. Were you sittingon the plane the whole time we were
sitting on the plane the entire timewe were in Otani, Mookie Bets was
(29:06):
right behind me. Tyler Glass nowwas right behind me. Uh Well,
at the point where we where theyannounced that we're waiting for these pilots and
it's going to uh take probably twohours before they show up, that's when
everybody just basically said, you knowwhat, let's just take a nap now.
And Uh, basically a lot ofguys slept on the plane from that
(29:29):
point on. What about you.Uh, I had one of those weird
seats where it was a two seaterin the emergency exit. Can you believe
that I was entrusted with the livesof every Dodger player in that row And
the seat did not recline, andand there's nowhere to lean on. You
can't lean on the window. Iused like three pillows in my sport code
(29:52):
jacket to lean against the second seatthere, and UH slept halfway up,
halfway down. That's the most harrowingDodre traveling experience you've ever had. I
mean, you've been on that planefor a decade plus. Yeah, I
would say it's top the other two. There was one that really stands out
back in I don't know twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, where the landing gear
(30:14):
on the plane did not work andwe had an emergency landing back at the
San Diego Airport on we were supposedto be going to Texas to play the
Rangers, and I guess they realizedafter takeoff the landing gear did not work,
so forty five minutes into the flight, they were turned back to San
Diego and we did not arrive inTexas until like six or seven am,
(30:40):
and the Dodgers had to play agame that night. There was another situation
similar to this where there was anextended delay because of mechanical issues and the
pilots, but they allowed the playersto get off the plane. I guess
the problem is it was raining andthere was lightning last night, so not
really able to get off the plane. Well, I guess good fortune here.
(31:00):
No game today, so at leastyou get a break there. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, that's right.Yeah, full off day for the
Dodgers. So what is Otani dude? Does he like laugh and smile or
does he look like livid like mostpeople would be. Well, honestly,
guys and somebody ebody the travel secretarylike Manny Ramire. This is the remarkable
(31:21):
part and shows a lot of uh. It reflects well on the Dodgers because
nobody freaked out. Nobody went intoa tantrum. Obviously guys were annoyed and
upset and frustrated, but nobody hada complete meltdown and started screaming at anybody.
So I would say that is thesilver lining in all of this,
that everybody kept their composure and justrolled with it. The one guy that
(31:45):
was really wearing it this trip wasEric Carros, who was picked this trip
o Oral Hersheizer was doing meet andgreets and opening a memorabilia shop. Carros
wore the rain delay where we uhwe. He took the seven train back
to Grand Central and then walked abouta mile back to our hotel in the
(32:06):
rain, and he turned to meand said, I swear at one point
in my life I batted clean upfor the Dodgers. Can't yeah, can't
show Hao Tani though, who batsfor the Dodgers currently? Kid, he
just like make a phone call andget a pilot there faster. No,
he's like a Japanese like most famousone of the guys, and the first
(32:28):
guy I saw when I parked atthe airport for this road trip was show
Heyo Tani. The last guy Isaw when I was getting into my car
to come home with show Heo Tanibecause he was parked right across from nobody
tried to pull up Matt money Smithand like charted their own flight on the
side or like rent a car orthrow money at it and it'll work.
Right. We were in the middleof Newark Airport somewhere. Nobody was getting
(32:51):
off that bird. But honestly,the reason why I want to share that
story is because fans and Petro somemoney think these guys just show up.
There's a lot of other things thatgo into it. The good news,
I think they open a refrigerator androll them out like corpses. The good
news is the Dodgers start a shortthree game homestand against one of the worst
teams in baseball, the Rockies,before the MLB schedule makers send them back
(33:17):
to the East Coast to Pittsburgh andYankee Stadium. So the players aren't that
thrilled with the schedule maker back therein New York, so things that during
this stretches hack on smoothly. Itshouldn't happen to the Dodgers, right,
don't they always got the Rockies orDiamondbacks. That's fine. Well, the
reason why it happens to the Dodgersis because they are America's team, right
(33:38):
with Otani and Mookie and Freddy.Any other team would have played a day
game at City Field yesterday, butUncle Stevie wanted to try to get the
biggest gate in New York last nightand took it to the limit of a
four to ten starret Eastern time.Most teams would play a one o'clock game,
but the show Dodgers, they wantthem in prime time. I'm as
(34:00):
close as possible for every game andnext week in Yankee Stadium. All three
games are on national television. Allthree games, including Getaway Day on Sunday
night Baseball a night games. I'mnot a fan of that format. Thank
you, Dave, and have agreat rest. Thank you for the harrowing
(34:22):
tale of travel. These are humanbeings that go through terrible ordeals on the
route. Yeah, we're not ona cushy NFL plane once a week.
I mean you're still on a cushyplane. It's not cushy, Matt,
Nora is mine. Now. Theydid stick you in the exit aisle which
did not recline, nor can youlean against the side of the fuselage to
(34:44):
get some rests. So yeah,you got dealta bad hand, there no
doubt about that. But I dosit right in front of the bathroom,
so I do have room. Yeah, waits leather's got to blow it out
exactly. We'll be back more Pettersonmoney on m FI seventy l A Sports
