It'll be the same tomorrow, alittle bit different in an extra half
hour on Friday from one to three. Hopefully the Dodgers can manage to not
lead nine people on base. Ohthey got Jones, mister Jones, and
now Skeens is coming up tonight.Oh God, Matt, They're not gonna
get a hit. Ever again,when will it happen? They have already
(01:07):
and David will David Massibell join usthis segment, he will address it.
They have already been shut out fourtimes this season. They were shut out
four times last season. So itis it's wild to have that much talent
out the plate at the top ofthe order and to have been shut out
four times already, especially when TylerGlasnow pitches a gem and loses, gets
(01:32):
a loss on his record. Afterthe Dodgers drop one one to zero,
hopefully they will be able to takeout the ricky phenom Paul Skeens. We'll
be making I believe his third orfourth start of his career. Skeenes is
a rookie phenom whose girlfriend is thatOlivia Dunn, who works for Viory and
is an LSU gymnast and has likecrazy stands as the youth says, like
(01:57):
crazy. Oh yeah. The peoplereally like her. They're very popular,
really into her. They really likewhat she's doing with her body and her
face and her demeanor and beory andher charms and her shorts and pants.
Yeah, they really like that.They talk about the soft fabric and how
form fitting it is, particularly onher it is it is uh, it
(02:23):
is amazing that run support is justnodding six. It just doesn't There's nothing
nothing like there is literally, it'smother Hubbard's cupboard for Glass now, like
there's not a Tunican. There's notlike a couple of hits and manufacturer run
(02:44):
maybe a pass ball and a guy'sa third and he scores. There is
nothing as such as your life.Literally, zero run support for the last
month for Tyler Glass now and Idon't know if that ever happened before.
And poor Paxon tonight, I meanhe's facing Skeens. It Skeens is me,
(03:08):
Skeens is mean. Packson is comingoff one of his worst outings of
his Dodger career. So not liningup great for the good guys as they
get ready to take on the Piratesfor two followed by the best team in
baseball, the New York Yankees forthree out in the Bronx. Wow,
you're telling me the bad guys arethe rapers and the pillagers of the Monongahela,
(03:31):
the Allegheny becoming the Ohio River.You're telling me those are the bad
guys unless they are the Pirates ofPirates Adventure across the street from Rock and
Bruce where we will be doing thefirst stop of the Petros to Money Summer
Tour twenty twenty four. Yes,I do not believe them to be kind
and honorable gentlemen. They all looklike Ryan Day. Well you said it,
(03:53):
Matt. The first stop of thetwenty twenty four Petros and Money Summer
Tour is coming up and you areare absolutely required to be there June fourteenth,
Rock and Bruise, Buena Park sevenseven seven Beach Boulevard in Buena part
off the ninety one Freeway at BeachBoulevard, and we might have some pirates
(04:16):
come over from Pirates Adventure. We'vebeen actively reaching out like young men,
actively reach out to Olivia Dunn,to the Knotsberry Farm, desperately trying to
get a hold of them, desperatelytrying to reach knots Berry Farm to send
us a cowboy or a maiden,or like a covered wagon or a leather
(04:42):
tanner. And we're not asking formuch. We're asking, hey, we'll
take anything. What do you guysask We're asking you to come because we

stores. Jim Kates, Bruce,the people at Diso and eto an oi
Ocha are new Japanese advertisers are here. You know they're here obviously because of
a Tani and because we're awesome andgreat sports talk. But do you think
(05:55):
they're watching these Dodger games and sayinglike, this is not what we signed
up for, This is not whatour proud brand wants to represent. An
impotent team that's been shut out fourtimes. I think that's where we come.
Steen's coming through the tunnel tonight.I think that's where we come in.
Pee hey as the Dodgers offense letus down. Yes, but we
(06:19):
do have petros some money talking aboutus. Yeah, and that's moving the
needle because we now have a marketthat never before did we think would head
up their local Dizo stores. Andby our Eto n o Oscha Green Tea,
we've hired a real up and cominginternational man of mystery cosmopolitan type voice
(06:44):

you guys and the listeners a littleupdate. I went on Google and then
I got to some website called gigsalad dot com, which I guess you
can find people to do gigs bandsin different places. And I found an
(08:39):
airbrush guy or gal I don't knowreally which it is, and send it
to Dave Weez. So that whycan't not send somebody or maybe they send
a glass blower. Maybe. Ialso went onto Amazon. Well, what's
wrong with glass blowing? That's awesome. I also went onto Amazon and found
a really good deal on one hundredand forty four white T shirts. Nice
(09:05):
and they shouldn't have to do this. Valentine has T shirts. We shouldn't
have to do. We have nothad a T shirt since the PMS.
Matt say it. I know that'sthe last time. I was like fifteen
years ago. I know, Matt, we gotta sit here and run this
(09:33):
wheel ourselves like hamsters. I wasn'tjoking. There is a huge box of
Elsigunda Little League Congratulations T shirt.We know from their parade that kiss FM
had. I can easily go grabit and we can just airbrush on top
of that. That's so bootleg,I think resourceful. Just out to say
(09:56):
we'll see you Friday, June fourteenth, Rock and Bruise and a park.
If you're not there, you're deadto us dead. Do you hear me?
Dead? Dead? You better bethere. Besse says he needs a
few more minutes. So what areyou talking about. I told him we're
calling you, and he goes,give me ten. I said, we
don't have ten. Ten unless webreak early and come back and to get
(10:20):
him and then Worthy you want todouble up him and Worthy like that.
I mean, you guys are intodoubling up guests now. I mean,
it's just like to become a thing. Now, apparently, what are you
saying? It's timing? We werelive on location. There were golf carts
involved, people standing around putting theireyes on us, like what are we
doing here? Well, kill thebanjo and let's just say that. Let's
(10:43):
do it. I mean, ifwe're going to strike, we got to
strike right now. It's my bigpoots and I want to work right now.
So let's go to break. Playsome music, and we'll go to
break. We'll come back and we'lldo what you don't think we can do.
I don't think you can do it. I think this is the earliest
we have ever broke at the topof the hour. You want to know
some history of the show. It'sactually on time too, so yeah,
(11:07):
I know, but we don't likefollowing the rules. Don's running down here
right now, just crying because hecan't believe you guys broke on time.
You just hit the fire alarm right, doh, they're gonna sweep the bottom
of the hour. Are you kiddingme? I mean I got quarter hour,
quarter hour, quarter hour. Herewe go. Grogan and Rodney's ratings
have never been so high. ThePhotoshop bandit said he might show up with
(11:30):
a giant printing press and a Tshirt and just start just playing their hits.
Let's go, right, I haveseventy LA stores. I'm taking on
the Pirates. Maybe I'll give youa reviewer at three thirty. Maybe we'll
have Dodgers on deck at two thirty. You like that Tim Kates Paul Oakinfold
remix for the Hermosa househeads, Matt, you like that? Trying to get
(11:52):
my head around that, I waslike, what is going on? That's
a Tim Kate's Oakenfold remix. Helikes to put stuff in there, like
radio stuff like man Chow. It'spretty sweet man. And you know,
speaking of Katsey, he doesn't thinkwe can stack him and rack him like
this. He doesn't think we havethe radio skill, you know, Matt,
Well, he's gonna find out.Yeah, he's gonna find out.
It's gonna be real. It's gonnabe real in the city right now.
(12:13):
When we bring on David Vassay livefrom Pittsburgh. David Vassay, there is
Pittsburgh. This is my father's Pittsburghsong, Beautiful Old to Pittsburgh. I've
got a home at Pittsburgh, andDave feels pretty much at home. He
(12:33):
walked right up to Schemes and wavedthe mic in his face and got him
on the pregame show yesterday like ag hitting bombs, unlike the Dodgers.
Dodgers running into some great young pitchingding Doll, Ding Doll. We'll see
how it all shakes out tonight.He's joining us on the Southern California to
(12:56):
celebrity online, our great Dodger insideDavid Vase all over Dodger Talk and the
Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck show tonight. What's bragging, Dave? How are
you? I'm doing great, guyson the field here at P and C
Park where the Champion grounds crew,the Pirates just took the tarp off because
(13:18):
two hours ago the sky has openedup for about fifteen minutes and we may
have that occur two hours after thestart of this game. So on alert
here at P and C Park.Well, no, I mean that is
a little bit of a we didnot know that we've got a home in
Pittsburgh and we didn't think the weatherwas like that today. First and foremost,
(13:41):
before we talk about schemes in yourheroic interview, what's up with the
Dodger bats? Yeah, last nightnot great. Petros zero for twelve with
runners in scoring position against Jered Jones, who grew up in Lamarada, huge
Dodger fan said he grew up lovingWalker Buehler, which made Bueler very uncomfortable.
(14:01):
But yeah, over twelve against apitcher that was going one hundred miles
an hour, they had opportunities overtwelve with runners in scoring position. But
also you know, there were twoballs that were hit over one hundred miles
an hour. Ta Oscar Hernandez tookher all this Chapman into center field.
It was hit one hundred and fourmiles an hour, and a lot of
(14:24):
the Dodger players thought it was goingto be a home run, as did
Chapman, who threw his glove downon the mound. And then Chris Taylor
took David Bednar to the deepest partof the ballpark that was hit at one
hundred and seven miles an hour.So I got to tell you no excuses,
but a lot of players around theleague, not just worrying a Dodger
uniform, has talked about the inconsistenciesabout the way the baseballs are traveling this
(14:50):
year. Did they have a humidorin Pittsburgh? Dave? Are we going
to do it and find it somethingout? Every ballpark supposedly has a humidor,
but in some ballparks the ball travelsa little bit more than others.
Matt is what players are telling me, is our man Paxton going to be
(15:13):
on a pitch limit? Is hegonna get yanked in the second inning without
any warning to the rest of usas we wonder what the hell is going
on? Now, it feels likeyou'll be on a normal schedule, extra
day's rest, so it feels likethis is a normal one for James Paxton.
And let's see, I mean,tonight's going to be an interesting night,
(15:33):
right. The Dodgers going up againstPaul Schemes, very stingy throws over
one hundred miles an hour. Runsyou would think are going to be at
a premium. While James Paxton haslived dangerously a lot of runners stranded on
base. He stranded eighty seven percentof the runners. But that's not a
way to live. So we'll seewhat happens against the team and the pirates
(15:56):
that have struck out the third mostof any team in baseball. That's living
too dangerous for me. David Vasseat the Real Underscore DV, Spectrum Sports
Net and right here on AM fiveseventy LA Sports not to mention MLB Network.
He's all over all of it,and he was all over Paul Schimes
yesterday with a great interview. Whatkind of guy was he? He was
(16:18):
a great guy, very well mannered, very buttoned up military wise because his
mom's side of the family, hehad a couple of uncles that were in
the Air Force and that's the reasonwhy he was not highly recruited out of
Eltoral High School. Colleges knew hewas going to the Air Force Academy because
he wanted to be an Air Forcepilot. But just like the catching position,
(16:41):
he outgrew being able to fit inthat jet fighter jet So that's when
he turned to pitching. Wow,So how good is he? Dave?
People are talking about schemes as aStrasburg like figures. Is the best pitcher
we've seen come into the League,especially how quickly he found his way to
the majors. No doubt that's whatI'm hearing. He's the real deal.
(17:03):
And he's six y six, right, so not only does he throw one
hundred miles an hour, but similarto a guy like last Now who's six's
eight or Kennelly Jansen who's six'four six' five, when Schemes releases
the baseball, because of his reachand length, the ball is being released
much at a shorter distance than sixtyfeet six inches, So that's another problematic
(17:27):
thing for hitters, and the Dodgersare going to have to find a way
to run up his pitch count andget him out of this game early.
But he's his demeanor is and ishis experience and his maturity as well beyond
his years. So we'll see AliHandles facing a lineup like this. He
(17:47):
grew up an Angels fan, andbecause he was a good hitter at Eltoral
High School, he identified with sholleHey o'tani. So he's going to face
the guy he grew up trying tobelieve that he could pitch hit. Because
of how good has Glass now been? Better than advertised, I know he's
not getting any run support, whichhas to be frustrating. But man,
(18:07):
is he He's been great. Canyou believe he's on pace for two hundred
and seventy two strikeouts? Gee,that would be That would be a Dodger
franchise record for a right handed pitcher. Two and seventy two strikeouts. That's
how good he's been. And thebiggest question when it comes to Glass now
is can he stay healthy? Butso far, so good. He has
(18:30):
stayed healthy and he's been dominant.I wouldn't be surprised guys if he was
the starting pitcher for the National Leaguethis year. Last one from me,
Dave, because he will pitch whenis the stone bone is pitching again on
Saturday, so we will not talkto you for his next start. Tip
oft a cap to you, though, want to acknowledge your projection for Stone.
(18:52):
Where do you think he is inRookie of the Year? Is he
like top three? Is he topfive? How does he fit into that
mix? Well? I feel likewe're going to get into that debate again.
Is Yoshi Yamamoto or Shota Imanaga reallyrookies when they were accomplished professionals in
a professional league. I mean Yamamotowas a three time Cy Young MVP equivalent,
(19:18):
and he's considered a rookie. SoI feel like if Stone keeps this
up and the Japanese pitchers keep thisup, we're going to get back into
that debate. Are these Japanese pitchersreally rookies? But for me, Gavin
Stone has been every bit as goodof a rookie as they have been.
Well, you know, you winone with Nomo, you lose one with
(19:38):
Stone. We appreciate you. Yeah, I guess though. We'll see how
it shakes out. Dave Stone isour pregame guest tonight too. Oh there
we go. Look at that Steen'slast night the Stone Baoon tonight. Tell
him about our nickname. I don'tthink I will. Why, he'll probably
like it. Everybody'd want to havea Stone bone ort. It's tough.
(20:02):
Are you having fun in Pittsburgh?Dave has the downtown revived it all?
It is starting to make a comebackbecause the Clemente Bridge has been renovated and
reopened. It was closed the lasttwo years. So John su who the
Dodgers team photographer, can now walkacross that bridge and take photos. Beautiful.
Thank you, Dave. Be sureappreciate it. Thank you. Thanks
(20:26):
David, He's got the stone bone. On the pregame show, David Vasse.
He had Paul Skeens yesterday on MarongoCasino, Dodgers on deck, and
that brings us right into they saidwe couldn't do it. Shames Worthy driven
by the Ford F Series, America'sbest selling truck for forty seven years in
counting. Ford gives you freedom ofchoice, gas, hybrid, all electric.
(20:52):
Head to your Southern California Ford dealersand find yours Ford F Series feel
tough. Well, we have yetto start the NBA Finals, but he's
still working with us, working fora living, even though the offseason is
long. For the great James Worthy, one of the all time great players,
one of the all time great Lakers. Of course, his jersey hangs
(21:14):
in the rafters. He's cool andcalm with a great demeanor. We had
his colleague from Spectrum and friend,Robert ri on yesterday. Matt Oh,
that was something for a spirited conversation. Enjoining us now is the great James
Worthy. We're always so happy tohave him once a week. All the
way through basketball season. We talkedto Big Game James, how's it going,
(21:34):
James, how are you big shot? Robert Orry, Now, you
don't get any more authentic than that. You ain't kidding. He said he
was able to go to Alabama andcome back waiting for this NBA Finals.
Are you excited about it? Imean we still got one night away.
(21:56):
Yeah. Yeah, you know theplayoff we were really fun. The Watts,
you know this year, all ofthem, you know, Minnesota emerging,
you know, seeing what was happeningon the on the on the East
coast, Uh, Indiana until theyhad injuries. Uh, Dallas, you
(22:18):
know, with Kyrie Irvin having allthat final playoff experience and Luca Donsons but
also you know, Jason Kidd's agreat defensive mind. So it's just it's
gonna be interesting to see. Youknow how Boston, who really it's a
must year for them to win.How they can you know, deal with
(22:40):
a seven game series against you know, Luca Dontas. You know Luca is
uh this he's on the stage now. You know, he's always been a
uh you know, great player,politics score, but now he's on the
ultimate stage and you know with histalent and in fact that Dallas already has
a a statue of Dirk Nowitsky infront of the arena. Man, he's
(23:03):
probably looking to, you know,to win a championship this year, so
it's gonna be fun to watch.Hey, James, you know the one
thing that is talked about is howwell Luca and Kyrie get along, how
Luca embraced him and welcomed him andsaid this is what I needed. And
also the weird you know, Idon't know if you've seen him, try
(23:25):
to dissect the body language or thepostgame comments between Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum
and how those two stars get along. You've been around it. You're a
star. What is the dynamic whenyou have you know, two legitimate MVP
candidates playing together on a team,like Shaq and Kobe, like Magic and
James Worthy, or Magic and KareemAbdul Jabbar. What does the give and
(23:47):
take to make sure that chemistry staysright all the way through a championship run?
Man, Hopefully you've had some goodcollege coaching, you know, when
I think of John Wooden and DeanSmith and Jettie's co and what Guy Roley
brought up with, you know,Adolph Rupp, you know you need that
understanding if you don't have that.You know, you need guys to grow
up quickly, and it's hard todo that initially where money is so big
(24:12):
and social media and social media isso big and the attention seems to be
all on you. And so Boston, I think Tatum and Brown's have matured
a little bit, but I don'tknow, you know, they haven't been
able to win the you know,the big one, and there's always talk
about, you know, Brown beingthe highest paid player. Of course Tatum's
(24:34):
going to get his, but theyISO a lot, Boston iso a lot.
I mean the Tatum Iso Brown io. They do drive and kick and
they get other people involved, butby a game, you know, three
or four, that all changes.Now Luca has been on the pro team
since he was thirteen, so heyou know, uh, in Europe,
(25:00):
you know, they don't play sixyou know, with developing, they don't
play six games a week. Theyplay one game a week and then they
practice. So he understands needing aKyrie Irving. He probably knows, Hey,
this guy played with Lebron James andwas Lebron James side keeping with Lebron
James wouldn't won without Kyrie Irvings.So Carrie Irvan filter throw to a few
(25:22):
teams, you know, reconcile withhimself on some things. Now he's backs
and he's a valuable asset veteran tohave because he he gives up himself,
you know, until it's time forhim to drop thirty or forty when he
needs, he gives himself. Heunderstands, you know, Luca because he's
(25:42):
played with Lebron. He understands thatrole. So it's a beautiful thing they
have. And the way Jason Kiddteaches defenses, he has Lively and the
rest of those role players are prettygood shot blocking team. They're not afraid
to mix it up. So it'sit's going to be interesting to see how
(26:02):
they go into Boston and you know, present themselves in those first two games.
How actively will you root against theCeltics? Will you be contacting others?
Will you use social media? Willyou use your own phone? How
does that work for you? Yeah, it depends what Cedric Maxwell does.
So far, he's been really quiet. He's been really quiet because you know,
(26:25):
the past few years they fail,so I think he doesn't want to,
you know, talk about I thinkwhat was the last year his ass
or something he was tripping about.I was like, dude, but so
he's been really quiet. So untilhe you know, if he if he
starts something, you know, I'llend it. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
(26:47):
But Boston has a good chance,you know, I'm just being fair.
I love the NBA. They reallyhave a good chance. They have
players like Horford, who's you know, and this is his time. He
wants to get one White I think, uh, you know, really has
you know, turned into a solidplayer. So and if they get Porzingis,
that's going to be the key.If Porzingis can play healthy, then
(27:12):
that that's a matchup problem, youknow, and they really need his his
you know, his input in thiscontribution. But we get to see him
in play since I think, likein the April sometimes, yeah, they
say he will play in Game one, Like you said, we'll see how
effective he is. Shifting a littlebit here, James. Not sure if
(27:33):
you saw or how you guys feelthat that helped build this league into what
it is today. It is notcertainly nearly as popular without late Lakers Celtics
throughout the nineteen eighties, and evenwithout the Celtics Showtime and what Doctor Bust
and all you guys built to makeit a much more entertaining product for the
American sports consumer to digest. Sixpoint nine billion dollars a year is the
(27:59):
media rights deal that will kick innext year. According to The Wall Street
Journal, that means salary capping aboutfour years going to be up over two
hundred million dollars, meaning we're probablygoing to see within four to five years
our first one hundred million dollar playerper season. Your thoughts, you know,
what are you going to say?It's it's their time, regardless of
(28:22):
you know, what's going on,you know interiorly, you know, with
load management and and you know playersyou know, not not really producing.
It's just a sign of the times. Man. You know they got they
got twelve year olds making you know, million dollars on TikTok. It's just
(28:45):
it's you know, it's like tryingto get my grandfather to understand a cell
phone. You know, you justhit their time. And I've learned I
was I was kissed, you know, maybe about ten years ago. I
was like this, it's crazy,but I remember making four hundred thousand dollars
a year and some older Vegelans wouldcome up to me and say, how
(29:08):
the hell, you're making four hundredthousand dollars a year. That's crazy.
I can't believe you're getting that muchmoney, you know, And I was
the number one draft pick. Soit's just I'm glad that I was a
part of, you know, alongwith Magic and Bird and Kareem and Doctor
J and I mean, you know, even guys like you know, Alex
English and you know, you know, artist Gilmore Ice girl Head grew the
(29:32):
league a little bit through the eighties, bought the popularity back. It needed
that, it needed for some playersto come in and produce and height in
the league. And that's you know, that's what I was a part of
doing the eighties. And then Kobeand Shaft that, you know, and
but now I think they're you know, they are reaping the benefits of television.
(29:52):
I was in you know, Spainin two thousand and nine when Commissioner
Stern was over there consummating that ourrelationship would you know, bb A bank,
you know, and Spain. Soit just got ridiculously big quick.
I don't think anybody could estimate orguess that it was going to grow this
(30:12):
fast. But you know, look, I'm happy if I had a son
making a hundred million dollars, I'dbe like, yeah, go get his
son. So I've learned. I'velearned to accept what it is, and
I'm happy for the guys as longas they keep funding that retirement players insurance
perfect. We you know, aburger didn't cost thirty bucks either when we
(30:33):
you know, we were younger,So I guess I don't. Yeah crazy.
Our per diem our per diem perday back in the late eighties was
I think like forty two dollars aday, and then forty two went all
the way forty two dollars and ifyou went all the way to the if
you won the finals, all thosechampionships we won, I think we got
(31:00):
about maybe thirty five to forty thousanddollars a player, and now I think
it's like five hundred thousands. It'scrazy. Well, James, I want
I wanted to swap I wanted toswap places with Gary Vedy so bad he

of hit. I mean, poorGlass now literally has had zero run support.
(33:53):
Zero. He's taking the role ofClayton Kershaw. Watch me pitch my
ass off, and nobody's score anyruns. I'm not that good, guys.

you got the dead Guy. Birthdayother day, easy one. Richard
McClure Scary. If you are ofa certain age and maybe even the generations
below, you know behind us.Also know the name Golden House Books first,
then his best ever series that tookplace in Busytown. Born in Boston,
(34:36):
parents Mary and John, Irish immigrantswho ran a small department store chain,
four brothers and sisters. Well off, lived in an upper class Dorchester
neighborhood. Even during the Great Depression, the Scaries were comfortable. After high
school, he enrolled in the BostonBusiness School, dropped out the Chase's Dream
at the School of the Museum ofFine Arts in Boston, then the Archipenco
(35:00):
Art School in Woodstock, New York, and even further studied at the Crunchy
Grooving School do you think that's crunchyschool? How about the Elliott O'Hara Watercolor
School in Goose Rocks kind of Bunkport, Maine. How about that? Oh?
Do the take that straight to theJames Cromwell Empathy Center at Eco Park?
My god? So what did thatget him? Greatest generation? Drafted
(35:20):
into the US Army in nineteen fortytwo, he was handed a gun and
was asked to shoot at people.However, they realized he had a pretty
big brain, so he was assignedto fix things. Radio repair is what
he did. Mostly. They madehim editor and writer of publications for the
Information and Morale Services section of theAllied Force Headquarters. Wow, he did
get into the middle of it whilehe served in North Africa. Discharged in
(35:44):
forty six, moved to the bigtown. Worked in advertising, brief stint
at Vogue, but nineteen forty ninecareer breakthrough. Little Golden Books hired him
as an illustrator and he did thatfor over a decade, thirteen years actually,
till they were like, hey,hey, Dick, can you write?
He's like, yeah, I gota couple of ideas, you know,
(36:04):
bouncing around here in the old Dicky'shead. He wrote the best word
book ever in nineteen sixty three.It still works today. It is a
book that my parents had, thatmy older brother learned his words in vocabulary
from, and I learned words invocabulary from. It is divided into subjects
on each pair of pages, andeach subject has a theme sports, house,
(36:30):
fire department, police department, andeach world has examples and small text
just very simple, but they wantyou to find things and sort of solve
a riddle on each page. Charactersanthropomorphic animals sold seven million copies in twelve
years. He was a star,been reprinted over and over again into a
(36:51):
whole mess of languages, and becauseit was so successful, they wanted more
best ever books. And Scary builtbusy Town populated by common animal species,
and he was just really good atgiving human characteristics to all of his creatures,
putting fire hat on that cat thatwas my favorite, the cat fireman,
(37:12):
the cat policeman. I was like, these guys are awesome. I
want a cat so he could bea fireman. The theme of busy Town
was a benevolent one strong sense ofcommunity of cooperation. The characters always worked
together to build a house, toconstruct a highway. He knew children needed
to know you don't have to beperfect all the time, that you need
help and you need to help others. It was turned to do an animated
(37:36):
series. That's what you're listening tohere. His best ever books were animated
as well, ran on TLC,Showtime, Nickelodeon, Noggin. Busy Town
always had a Swiss theme and therewas a reason why because when he retired,
he moved to Switzerland, bought ahouse and a chalet. He lived
there for twenty years from seventy fourto ninety four when he passed away.
Richard Scary we got Jamaican News LiveGuy. Birthday of the Day, It's

Jamaica newsro. Today we will celebrateeight years old. Skip Marley, Skip
Marley Skip Marley Minto because his momis the Marley, son of Sidelia Marley,
(38:30):
Triple Grammy winner and daughter of Ritaand Bob. Sidelia was one of
her brothers, Ziggy's melody makers.Who can Forget Tomorrow? People, Matt,
Where's your Past? Skip was bornin Kingston but raised in a Miami
came up on Tough Gong in theIsland label and had success as a young
(38:52):
man being a Marley He had theBrownie James kind of path. The music
is much more subjective. It doesn'tmatter if you're really six' one and
you said you were six four,you know. Featured in the Gap Denim
(39:15):
campaign in twenty sixteen, had asingle and a Pepsi commercial in twenty seventeen.
It's one of the great voices.I love it, Skip Marley.
Something about that Marley, That MarleyJeene Mary so good. Yeah. He
(39:35):
collaborated with Missile Boob Katie Perry onCharm to the Rhythm or chain to the
Rhythm, Excuse Me, leading himto performances at the brit Awards, the
Grammy Awards, and the iHeart Awardsseries. I'd go to the IHOD Awards
about you everything, Forget with theSun. He did a great song called
(39:57):
slow Down featuring her h e Er, which almost won a Grammy but didn't,
just like Matt and I almost wonthe Marconi but did so close.
Skip Marley actually tours and performs offwith his uncles Damien and Steven. He's
(40:19):
pretty active and he has long dreadlocks. Seems like a nice guy and he
does his grandfather's songs in a session, which is a pretty good album or
on YouTube you can listen to.And of course he has a song with
Casey Musgraves for Kate's Well, whowouldn't want that? And this recording is
(40:40):
him on his uncle Damien Junior GongMarley's Jam Rock Reggae Cruise. That is
the only cruise that I will considerever going on, but never will.
But this is him on the boat. Looks like a hell of a time,
(41:01):
a lot better than the Nude Cruiseor the John Mayer Cruz. Even
we respect his guitar playing, butstill are the new Kids on the Block
Cruise or the Matt money Smith feedout Santorini Cruise? When will you image?
(41:23):
All? Right? There you go. That's Skip Marley. So if
you want a new Marley, SkipMarley is your guy, and he's very
good. We are your Marley Showof Record, There's no doubt about it.
Matt. I mean, we playlegend every day, all day,
every day, every day in ourcabriolet. Thank you for listening. We
got one more big segment. Wegot a word and number and a fun
(41:46):
fact and we'll roll on from there. Dodgers gotta face schemes, and we
are freaking out

three forty pm. First Pitch Dodgerson Deca two thirty, another super Flex.
It'll be the same tomorrow, alittle bit different in an extra half
hour on Friday from one to three. Hopefully the Dodgers can manage to not
lead nine people on base. Ohthey got Jones, mister Jones, and
now Skeens is coming up tonight.Oh God, Matt, They're not gonna
get a hit. Ever again,when will it happen? They have already
(01:07):
and David will David Massibell join usthis segment, he will address it.
They have already been shut out fourtimes this season. They were shut out
four times last season. So itis it's wild to have that much talent
out the plate at the top ofthe order and to have been shut out
four times already, especially when TylerGlasnow pitches a gem and loses, gets
(01:32):
a loss on his record. Afterthe Dodgers drop one one to zero,
hopefully they will be able to takeout the ricky phenom Paul Skeens. We'll
be making I believe his third orfourth start of his career. Skeenes is
a rookie phenom whose girlfriend is thatOlivia Dunn, who works for Viory and
is an LSU gymnast and has likecrazy stands as the youth says, like
(01:57):
crazy. Oh yeah. The peoplereally like her. They're very popular,
really into her. They really likewhat she's doing with her body and her
face and her demeanor and beory andher charms and her shorts and pants.
Yeah, they really like that.They talk about the soft fabric and how
form fitting it is, particularly onher it is it is uh, it
(02:23):
is amazing that run support is justnodding six. It just doesn't There's nothing
nothing like there is literally, it'smother Hubbard's cupboard for Glass now, like
there's not a Tunican. There's notlike a couple of hits and manufacturer run
(02:44):
maybe a pass ball and a guy'sa third and he scores. There is
nothing as such as your life.Literally, zero run support for the last
month for Tyler Glass now and Idon't know if that ever happened before.
And poor Paxon tonight, I meanhe's facing Skeens. It Skeens is me,
(03:08):
Skeens is mean. Packson is comingoff one of his worst outings of
his Dodger career. So not liningup great for the good guys as they
get ready to take on the Piratesfor two followed by the best team in
baseball, the New York Yankees forthree out in the Bronx. Wow,
you're telling me the bad guys arethe rapers and the pillagers of the Monongahela,
(03:31):
the Allegheny becoming the Ohio River.You're telling me those are the bad
guys unless they are the Pirates ofPirates Adventure across the street from Rock and
Bruce where we will be doing thefirst stop of the Petros to Money Summer
Tour twenty twenty four. Yes,I do not believe them to be kind
and honorable gentlemen. They all looklike Ryan Day. Well you said it,
(03:53):
Matt. The first stop of thetwenty twenty four Petros and Money Summer
Tour is coming up and you areare absolutely required to be there June fourteenth,
Rock and Bruise, Buena Park sevenseven seven Beach Boulevard in Buena part
off the ninety one Freeway at BeachBoulevard, and we might have some pirates
(04:16):
come over from Pirates Adventure. We'vebeen actively reaching out like young men,
actively reach out to Olivia Dunn,to the Knotsberry Farm, desperately trying to
get a hold of them, desperatelytrying to reach knots Berry Farm to send
us a cowboy or a maiden,or like a covered wagon or a leather
(04:42):
tanner. And we're not asking formuch. We're asking, hey, we'll
take anything. What do you guysask We're asking you to come because we
have on side prizes. We've gotan eleven thousand dollars grand prize to give
away. Go to AMPI seven Lasports dot com find out how to win
or just show up. And wehave partners, Matt, partners that we
(05:08):
owe it all to. We loveour partners in our eleventh year. Obviously,
Rock and Bruce, Adam, Jenna, Katie, we love you.
We love doing summer tour stop eventsat the Rock and Bruce scattered across our
greater Southern California area. They're rushmore of our relationship with Rock and Bridge.
(05:31):
They are We love Etoocha, Japan'snumber one green tea and the number
one green tea of the Petros andMoney Show, available at your local Diso
stores. Jim Kates, Bruce,the people at Diso and eto an oi
Ocha are new Japanese advertisers are here. You know they're here obviously because of
a Tani and because we're awesome andgreat sports talk. But do you think
(05:55):
they're watching these Dodger games and sayinglike, this is not what we signed
up for, This is not whatour proud brand wants to represent. An
impotent team that's been shut out fourtimes. I think that's where we come.
Steen's coming through the tunnel tonight.I think that's where we come in.
Pee hey as the Dodgers offense letus down. Yes, but we
(06:19):
do have petros some money talking aboutus. Yeah, and that's moving the
needle because we now have a marketthat never before did we think would head
up their local Dizo stores. Andby our Eto n o Oscha Green Tea,
we've hired a real up and cominginternational man of mystery cosmopolitan type voice
(06:44):
doing our commercials and his name isTim Kait. He is moving the needle.
You're right, they have a lotto feel good about. You're right.
I'm sorry I should have said that. Yeah, I shouldn't. Sweet
James is also sponsor. Of course. Is Sweet James coming on today?
(07:04):

the envy of every listener going totheir trucks swerving into the lonely evening.
You haven't really been on tour.You got no idea, You got no
idea. It's like leaving the horseraces with a billion dollars in your pocket,
a billion with a B and LoanMark, Matt. If you leave
(07:56):

car title loan service by Loanmark today, Yes, Kate. Just to give
you guys and the listeners a littleupdate. I went on Google and then
I got to some website called gigsalad dot com, which I guess you
can find people to do gigs bandsin different places. And I found an
(08:39):
airbrush guy or gal I don't knowreally which it is, and send it
to Dave Weez. So that whycan't not send somebody or maybe they send
a glass blower. Maybe. Ialso went onto Amazon. Well, what's
wrong with glass blowing? That's awesome. I also went onto Amazon and found
a really good deal on one hundredand forty four white T shirts. Nice
(09:05):
and they shouldn't have to do this. Valentine has T shirts. We shouldn't
have to do. We have nothad a T shirt since the PMS.
Matt say it. I know that'sthe last time. I was like fifteen
years ago. I know, Matt, we gotta sit here and run this
(09:33):
wheel ourselves like hamsters. I wasn'tjoking. There is a huge box of
Elsigunda Little League Congratulations T shirt.We know from their parade that kiss FM
had. I can easily go grabit and we can just airbrush on top
of that. That's so bootleg,I think resourceful. Just out to say
(09:56):
we'll see you Friday, June fourteenth, Rock and Bruise and a park.
If you're not there, you're deadto us dead. Do you hear me?
Dead? Dead? You better bethere. Besse says he needs a
few more minutes. So what areyou talking about. I told him we're
calling you, and he goes,give me ten. I said, we
don't have ten. Ten unless webreak early and come back and to get
(10:20):
him and then Worthy you want todouble up him and Worthy like that.
I mean, you guys are intodoubling up guests now. I mean,
it's just like to become a thing. Now, apparently, what are you
saying? It's timing? We werelive on location. There were golf carts
involved, people standing around putting theireyes on us, like what are we
doing here? Well, kill thebanjo and let's just say that. Let's
(10:43):
do it. I mean, ifwe're going to strike, we got to
strike right now. It's my bigpoots and I want to work right now.
So let's go to break. Playsome music, and we'll go to
break. We'll come back and we'lldo what you don't think we can do.
I don't think you can do it. I think this is the earliest
we have ever broke at the topof the hour. You want to know
some history of the show. It'sactually on time too, so yeah,
(11:07):
I know, but we don't likefollowing the rules. Don's running down here
right now, just crying because hecan't believe you guys broke on time.
You just hit the fire alarm right, doh, they're gonna sweep the bottom
of the hour. Are you kiddingme? I mean I got quarter hour,
quarter hour, quarter hour. Herewe go. Grogan and Rodney's ratings
have never been so high. ThePhotoshop bandit said he might show up with
(11:30):
a giant printing press and a Tshirt and just start just playing their hits.
Let's go, right, I haveseventy LA stores. I'm taking on
the Pirates. Maybe I'll give youa reviewer at three thirty. Maybe we'll
have Dodgers on deck at two thirty. You like that Tim Kates Paul Oakinfold
remix for the Hermosa househeads, Matt, you like that? Trying to get
(11:52):
my head around that, I waslike, what is going on? That's
a Tim Kate's Oakenfold remix. Helikes to put stuff in there, like
radio stuff like man Chow. It'spretty sweet man. And you know,
speaking of Katsey, he doesn't thinkwe can stack him and rack him like
this. He doesn't think we havethe radio skill, you know, Matt,
Well, he's gonna find out.Yeah, he's gonna find out.
It's gonna be real. It's gonnabe real in the city right now.
(12:13):
When we bring on David Vassay livefrom Pittsburgh. David Vassay, there is
Pittsburgh. This is my father's Pittsburghsong, Beautiful Old to Pittsburgh. I've
got a home at Pittsburgh, andDave feels pretty much at home. He
(12:33):
walked right up to Schemes and wavedthe mic in his face and got him
on the pregame show yesterday like ag hitting bombs, unlike the Dodgers.
Dodgers running into some great young pitchingding Doll, Ding Doll. We'll see
how it all shakes out tonight.He's joining us on the Southern California to
(12:56):
celebrity online, our great Dodger insideDavid Vase all over Dodger Talk and the
Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck show tonight. What's bragging, Dave? How are
you? I'm doing great, guyson the field here at P and C
Park where the Champion grounds crew,the Pirates just took the tarp off because
(13:18):
two hours ago the sky has openedup for about fifteen minutes and we may
have that occur two hours after thestart of this game. So on alert
here at P and C Park.Well, no, I mean that is
a little bit of a we didnot know that we've got a home in
Pittsburgh and we didn't think the weatherwas like that today. First and foremost,
(13:41):
before we talk about schemes in yourheroic interview, what's up with the
Dodger bats? Yeah, last nightnot great. Petros zero for twelve with
runners in scoring position against Jered Jones, who grew up in Lamarada, huge
Dodger fan said he grew up lovingWalker Buehler, which made Bueler very uncomfortable.
(14:01):
But yeah, over twelve against apitcher that was going one hundred miles
an hour, they had opportunities overtwelve with runners in scoring position. But
also you know, there were twoballs that were hit over one hundred miles
an hour. Ta Oscar Hernandez tookher all this Chapman into center field.
It was hit one hundred and fourmiles an hour, and a lot of
(14:24):
the Dodger players thought it was goingto be a home run, as did
Chapman, who threw his glove downon the mound. And then Chris Taylor
took David Bednar to the deepest partof the ballpark that was hit at one
hundred and seven miles an hour.So I got to tell you no excuses,
but a lot of players around theleague, not just worrying a Dodger
uniform, has talked about the inconsistenciesabout the way the baseballs are traveling this
(14:50):
year. Did they have a humidorin Pittsburgh? Dave? Are we going
to do it and find it somethingout? Every ballpark supposedly has a humidor,
but in some ballparks the ball travelsa little bit more than others.
Matt is what players are telling me, is our man Paxton going to be
(15:13):
on a pitch limit? Is hegonna get yanked in the second inning without
any warning to the rest of usas we wonder what the hell is going
on? Now, it feels likeyou'll be on a normal schedule, extra
day's rest, so it feels likethis is a normal one for James Paxton.
And let's see, I mean,tonight's going to be an interesting night,
(15:33):
right. The Dodgers going up againstPaul Schemes, very stingy throws over
one hundred miles an hour. Runsyou would think are going to be at
a premium. While James Paxton haslived dangerously a lot of runners stranded on
base. He stranded eighty seven percentof the runners. But that's not a
way to live. So we'll seewhat happens against the team and the pirates
(15:56):
that have struck out the third mostof any team in baseball. That's living
too dangerous for me. David Vasseat the Real Underscore DV, Spectrum Sports
Net and right here on AM fiveseventy LA Sports not to mention MLB Network.
He's all over all of it,and he was all over Paul Schimes
yesterday with a great interview. Whatkind of guy was he? He was
(16:18):
a great guy, very well mannered, very buttoned up military wise because his
mom's side of the family, hehad a couple of uncles that were in
the Air Force and that's the reasonwhy he was not highly recruited out of
Eltoral High School. Colleges knew hewas going to the Air Force Academy because
he wanted to be an Air Forcepilot. But just like the catching position,
(16:41):
he outgrew being able to fit inthat jet fighter jet So that's when
he turned to pitching. Wow,So how good is he? Dave?
People are talking about schemes as aStrasburg like figures. Is the best pitcher
we've seen come into the League,especially how quickly he found his way to
the majors. No doubt that's whatI'm hearing. He's the real deal.
(17:03):
And he's six y six, right, so not only does he throw one
hundred miles an hour, but similarto a guy like last Now who's six's
eight or Kennelly Jansen who's six'four six' five, when Schemes releases
the baseball, because of his reachand length, the ball is being released
much at a shorter distance than sixtyfeet six inches, So that's another problematic
(17:27):
thing for hitters, and the Dodgersare going to have to find a way
to run up his pitch count andget him out of this game early.
But he's his demeanor is and ishis experience and his maturity as well beyond
his years. So we'll see AliHandles facing a lineup like this. He
(17:47):
grew up an Angels fan, andbecause he was a good hitter at Eltoral
High School, he identified with sholleHey o'tani. So he's going to face
the guy he grew up trying tobelieve that he could pitch hit. Because
of how good has Glass now been? Better than advertised, I know he's
not getting any run support, whichhas to be frustrating. But man,
(18:07):
is he He's been great. Canyou believe he's on pace for two hundred
and seventy two strikeouts? Gee,that would be That would be a Dodger
franchise record for a right handed pitcher. Two and seventy two strikeouts. That's
how good he's been. And thebiggest question when it comes to Glass now
is can he stay healthy? Butso far, so good. He has
(18:30):
stayed healthy and he's been dominant.I wouldn't be surprised guys if he was
the starting pitcher for the National Leaguethis year. Last one from me,
Dave, because he will pitch whenis the stone bone is pitching again on
Saturday, so we will not talkto you for his next start. Tip
oft a cap to you, though, want to acknowledge your projection for Stone.
(18:52):
Where do you think he is inRookie of the Year? Is he
like top three? Is he topfive? How does he fit into that
mix? Well? I feel likewe're going to get into that debate again.
Is Yoshi Yamamoto or Shota Imanaga reallyrookies when they were accomplished professionals in
a professional league. I mean Yamamotowas a three time Cy Young MVP equivalent,
(19:18):
and he's considered a rookie. SoI feel like if Stone keeps this
up and the Japanese pitchers keep thisup, we're going to get back into
that debate. Are these Japanese pitchersreally rookies? But for me, Gavin
Stone has been every bit as goodof a rookie as they have been.
Well, you know, you winone with Nomo, you lose one with
(19:38):
Stone. We appreciate you. Yeah, I guess though. We'll see how
it shakes out. Dave Stone isour pregame guest tonight too. Oh there
we go. Look at that Steen'slast night the Stone Baoon tonight. Tell
him about our nickname. I don'tthink I will. Why, he'll probably
like it. Everybody'd want to havea Stone bone ort. It's tough.
(20:02):
Are you having fun in Pittsburgh?Dave has the downtown revived it all?
It is starting to make a comebackbecause the Clemente Bridge has been renovated and
reopened. It was closed the lasttwo years. So John su who the
Dodgers team photographer, can now walkacross that bridge and take photos. Beautiful.
Thank you, Dave. Be sureappreciate it. Thank you. Thanks
(20:26):
David, He's got the stone bone. On the pregame show, David Vasse.
He had Paul Skeens yesterday on MarongoCasino, Dodgers on deck, and
that brings us right into they saidwe couldn't do it. Shames Worthy driven
by the Ford F Series, America'sbest selling truck for forty seven years in
counting. Ford gives you freedom ofchoice, gas, hybrid, all electric.
(20:52):
Head to your Southern California Ford dealersand find yours Ford F Series feel
tough. Well, we have yetto start the NBA Finals, but he's
still working with us, working fora living, even though the offseason is
long. For the great James Worthy, one of the all time great players,
one of the all time great Lakers. Of course, his jersey hangs
(21:14):
in the rafters. He's cool andcalm with a great demeanor. We had
his colleague from Spectrum and friend,Robert ri on yesterday. Matt Oh,
that was something for a spirited conversation. Enjoining us now is the great James
Worthy. We're always so happy tohave him once a week. All the
way through basketball season. We talkedto Big Game James, how's it going,
(21:34):
James, how are you big shot? Robert Orry, Now, you
don't get any more authentic than that. You ain't kidding. He said he
was able to go to Alabama andcome back waiting for this NBA Finals.
Are you excited about it? Imean we still got one night away.
(21:56):
Yeah. Yeah, you know theplayoff we were really fun. The Watts,
you know this year, all ofthem, you know, Minnesota emerging,
you know, seeing what was happeningon the on the on the East
coast, Uh, Indiana until theyhad injuries. Uh, Dallas, you
(22:18):
know, with Kyrie Irvin having allthat final playoff experience and Luca Donsons but
also you know, Jason Kidd's agreat defensive mind. So it's just it's
gonna be interesting to see. Youknow how Boston, who really it's a
must year for them to win.How they can you know, deal with
(22:40):
a seven game series against you know, Luca Dontas. You know Luca is
uh this he's on the stage now. You know, he's always been a
uh you know, great player,politics score, but now he's on the
ultimate stage and you know with histalent and in fact that Dallas already has
a a statue of Dirk Nowitsky infront of the arena. Man, he's
(23:03):
probably looking to, you know,to win a championship this year, so
it's gonna be fun to watch.Hey, James, you know the one
thing that is talked about is howwell Luca and Kyrie get along, how
Luca embraced him and welcomed him andsaid this is what I needed. And
also the weird you know, Idon't know if you've seen him, try
(23:25):
to dissect the body language or thepostgame comments between Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum
and how those two stars get along. You've been around it. You're a
star. What is the dynamic whenyou have you know, two legitimate MVP
candidates playing together on a team,like Shaq and Kobe, like Magic and
James Worthy, or Magic and KareemAbdul Jabbar. What does the give and
(23:47):
take to make sure that chemistry staysright all the way through a championship run?
Man, Hopefully you've had some goodcollege coaching, you know, when
I think of John Wooden and DeanSmith and Jettie's co and what Guy Roley
brought up with, you know,Adolph Rupp, you know you need that
understanding if you don't have that.You know, you need guys to grow
up quickly, and it's hard todo that initially where money is so big
(24:12):
and social media and social media isso big and the attention seems to be
all on you. And so Boston, I think Tatum and Brown's have matured
a little bit, but I don'tknow, you know, they haven't been
able to win the you know,the big one, and there's always talk
about, you know, Brown beingthe highest paid player. Of course Tatum's
(24:34):
going to get his, but theyISO a lot, Boston iso a lot.
I mean the Tatum Iso Brown io. They do drive and kick and
they get other people involved, butby a game, you know, three
or four, that all changes.Now Luca has been on the pro team
since he was thirteen, so heyou know, uh, in Europe,
(25:00):
you know, they don't play sixyou know, with developing, they don't
play six games a week. Theyplay one game a week and then they
practice. So he understands needing aKyrie Irving. He probably knows, Hey,
this guy played with Lebron James andwas Lebron James side keeping with Lebron
James wouldn't won without Kyrie Irvings.So Carrie Irvan filter throw to a few
(25:22):
teams, you know, reconcile withhimself on some things. Now he's backs
and he's a valuable asset veteran tohave because he he gives up himself,
you know, until it's time forhim to drop thirty or forty when he
needs, he gives himself. Heunderstands, you know, Luca because he's
(25:42):
played with Lebron. He understands thatrole. So it's a beautiful thing they
have. And the way Jason Kiddteaches defenses, he has Lively and the
rest of those role players are prettygood shot blocking team. They're not afraid
to mix it up. So it'sit's going to be interesting to see how
(26:02):
they go into Boston and you know, present themselves in those first two games.
How actively will you root against theCeltics? Will you be contacting others?
Will you use social media? Willyou use your own phone? How
does that work for you? Yeah, it depends what Cedric Maxwell does.
So far, he's been really quiet. He's been really quiet because you know,
(26:25):
the past few years they fail,so I think he doesn't want to,
you know, talk about I thinkwhat was the last year his ass
or something he was tripping about.I was like, dude, but so
he's been really quiet. So untilhe you know, if he if he
starts something, you know, I'llend it. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
(26:47):
But Boston has a good chance,you know, I'm just being fair.
I love the NBA. They reallyhave a good chance. They have
players like Horford, who's you know, and this is his time. He
wants to get one White I think, uh, you know, really has
you know, turned into a solidplayer. So and if they get Porzingis,
that's going to be the key.If Porzingis can play healthy, then
(27:12):
that that's a matchup problem, youknow, and they really need his his
you know, his input in thiscontribution. But we get to see him
in play since I think, likein the April sometimes, yeah, they
say he will play in Game one, Like you said, we'll see how
effective he is. Shifting a littlebit here, James. Not sure if
(27:33):
you saw or how you guys feelthat that helped build this league into what
it is today. It is notcertainly nearly as popular without late Lakers Celtics
throughout the nineteen eighties, and evenwithout the Celtics Showtime and what Doctor Bust
and all you guys built to makeit a much more entertaining product for the
American sports consumer to digest. Sixpoint nine billion dollars a year is the
(27:59):
media rights deal that will kick innext year. According to The Wall Street
Journal, that means salary capping aboutfour years going to be up over two
hundred million dollars, meaning we're probablygoing to see within four to five years
our first one hundred million dollar playerper season. Your thoughts, you know,
what are you going to say?It's it's their time, regardless of
(28:22):
you know, what's going on,you know interiorly, you know, with
load management and and you know playersyou know, not not really producing.
It's just a sign of the times. Man. You know they got they
got twelve year olds making you know, million dollars on TikTok. It's just
(28:45):
it's you know, it's like tryingto get my grandfather to understand a cell
phone. You know, you justhit their time. And I've learned I
was I was kissed, you know, maybe about ten years ago. I
was like this, it's crazy,but I remember making four hundred thousand dollars
a year and some older Vegelans wouldcome up to me and say, how
(29:08):
the hell, you're making four hundredthousand dollars a year. That's crazy.
I can't believe you're getting that muchmoney, you know, And I was
the number one draft pick. Soit's just I'm glad that I was a
part of, you know, alongwith Magic and Bird and Kareem and Doctor
J and I mean, you know, even guys like you know, Alex
English and you know, you know, artist Gilmore Ice girl Head grew the
(29:32):
league a little bit through the eighties, bought the popularity back. It needed
that, it needed for some playersto come in and produce and height in
the league. And that's you know, that's what I was a part of
doing the eighties. And then Kobeand Shaft that, you know, and
but now I think they're you know, they are reaping the benefits of television.
(29:52):
I was in you know, Spainin two thousand and nine when Commissioner
Stern was over there consummating that ourrelationship would you know, bb A bank,
you know, and Spain. Soit just got ridiculously big quick.
I don't think anybody could estimate orguess that it was going to grow this
(30:12):
fast. But you know, look, I'm happy if I had a son
making a hundred million dollars, I'dbe like, yeah, go get his
son. So I've learned. I'velearned to accept what it is, and
I'm happy for the guys as longas they keep funding that retirement players insurance
perfect. We you know, aburger didn't cost thirty bucks either when we
(30:33):
you know, we were younger,So I guess I don't. Yeah crazy.
Our per diem our per diem perday back in the late eighties was
I think like forty two dollars aday, and then forty two went all
the way forty two dollars and ifyou went all the way to the if
you won the finals, all thosechampionships we won, I think we got
(31:00):
about maybe thirty five to forty thousanddollars a player, and now I think
it's like five hundred thousands. It'scrazy. Well, James, I want
I wanted to swap I wanted toswap places with Gary Vedy so bad he
was getting the full cut. James. Next week when we talk to you,
(31:22):
Uh, the Lakers still will nothave hired a head coach, but
there will be a couple of NBAFinals games under our belt, so we'll
have that going for us while wewait for this JJ Reddick thing to play
out. Thank you so much foreverything, James, and have a great,
great week you got we got thePirates. We got the Pirates tonight,
Pirates and the Dodgers didn't score lastnight. Four times they've been shut
(31:42):

McClure Scary. If you are ofa certain age and maybe even the generations
below, you know behind us.Also know the name Golden House Books first,
then his best ever series that tookplace in Busytown. Born in Boston,
(34:36):
parents Mary and John, Irish immigrantswho ran a small department store chain,
four brothers and sisters. Well off, lived in an upper class Dorchester
neighborhood. Even during the Great Depression, the Scaries were comfortable. After high
school, he enrolled in the BostonBusiness School, dropped out the Chase's Dream
at the School of the Museum ofFine Arts in Boston, then the Archipenco
(35:00):
Art School in Woodstock, New York, and even further studied at the Crunchy
Grooving School do you think that's crunchyschool? How about the Elliott O'Hara Watercolor
School in Goose Rocks kind of Bunkport, Maine. How about that? Oh?
Do the take that straight to theJames Cromwell Empathy Center at Eco Park?
My god? So what did thatget him? Greatest generation? Drafted
(35:20):
into the US Army in nineteen fortytwo, he was handed a gun and
was asked to shoot at people.However, they realized he had a pretty
big brain, so he was assignedto fix things. Radio repair is what
he did. Mostly. They madehim editor and writer of publications for the
Information and Morale Services section of theAllied Force Headquarters. Wow, he did
get into the middle of it whilehe served in North Africa. Discharged in
(35:44):
forty six, moved to the bigtown. Worked in advertising, brief stint
at Vogue, but nineteen forty ninecareer breakthrough. Little Golden Books hired him
as an illustrator and he did thatfor over a decade, thirteen years actually,
till they were like, hey,hey, Dick, can you write?
He's like, yeah, I gota couple of ideas, you know,
(36:04):
bouncing around here in the old Dicky'shead. He wrote the best word
book ever in nineteen sixty three.It still works today. It is a
book that my parents had, thatmy older brother learned his words in vocabulary
from, and I learned words invocabulary from. It is divided into subjects
on each pair of pages, andeach subject has a theme sports, house,
(36:30):
fire department, police department, andeach world has examples and small text
just very simple, but they wantyou to find things and sort of solve
a riddle on each page. Charactersanthropomorphic animals sold seven million copies in twelve
years. He was a star,been reprinted over and over again into a
(36:51):
whole mess of languages, and becauseit was so successful, they wanted more
best ever books. And Scary builtbusy Town populated by common animal species,
and he was just really good atgiving human characteristics to all of his creatures,
putting fire hat on that cat thatwas my favorite, the cat fireman,
(37:12):
the cat policeman. I was like, these guys are awesome. I
want a cat so he could bea fireman. The theme of busy Town
was a benevolent one strong sense ofcommunity of cooperation. The characters always worked
together to build a house, toconstruct a highway. He knew children needed
to know you don't have to beperfect all the time, that you need
help and you need to help others. It was turned to do an animated
(37:36):
series. That's what you're listening tohere. His best ever books were animated
as well, ran on TLC,Showtime, Nickelodeon, Noggin. Busy Town
always had a Swiss theme and therewas a reason why because when he retired,
he moved to Switzerland, bought ahouse and a chalet. He lived
there for twenty years from seventy fourto ninety four when he passed away.
