beat, even though the segment wedo in the final hour will be meaty
meat, but not a full hour. Know that we've run into a little
bit of an issue with our secondtour stop as far as the airbrush guy
that we submitted a request for yesterday, which I thought was a great point
(02:34):
by you, Matt, submitting thatrequest early. Let's really get that airbrush
guy here make up for our mistakeat the last one. And I was
told, under no uncertain terms thatwe can either have the airbrush guy or
the methed out steel drum band thatwe've enjoyed so much over the years.
(02:55):
So we're gonna have to mull thatover for the next hour or so and
at least try to figure that outthis week, because that was something that
we tried to get on top ofMatt and an only further complicated thing.
And I think it soured our attitudesin a certain way, in a certain
(03:15):
kind of way. Yeah, Ithink it has. I think that's fair.
We don't want to get sour.We felt really sweet after the inaugural,
after our kickoff, after how swimminglywell it went, and then I
felt like it was like having drankone hundred succulent zippers, you know,
and felt oblivious to pay. Andyet here we are back in the ass.
(03:40):
Yes, always got to be something, and we require a pristine zero
blemished vvs. Two color. Idon't even know what the colors are anymore.

(08:22):
new to air. Matt. Weare no stranger to the watch because you
and I are much like watchers watchmenof the city. We don't require a
soundtrack for that, so he couldjust fade that out. I got to
take a blue guy with the bigpoots if we're gonna be watchmen. Yeah,
you can be doctor. You canbe Doctor Manhattan if you want.

Matt, he knows everything, justlike well, I don't care about what
he knows. I know he gota big pooty. Yeah, well he
knows he's got a big boots.So that's why he walks around naked.
Uh. Just think of yourself aslike a guy popping up out of like
sand dune with some crazy futuristic lookingbinoculars. You know, like we are
on a watch. We've constantly beenon a watch over the years. It
(09:09):
didn't really start with Matt and I. It started with our brilliant innovative radio
boss Don Martin with his Kobe billboards. When Kobe was on a trial or
being charged with a sexual assault outin Colorado where the Dodgers are right now,
careful out there, and there wasa billboard that said Kobe Watch or
(09:30):
Kobe Kobe, What's next? Youknow, I mean, you know,
so there's been a watch and we'vekept up on that theme. You know,
We've had win watch for different things. We've had all kinds of different
watches. Otani Watchtani watch was onefor the Angels and the Dodgers and then
the Dodgers again. There was alot there. And right now, what
(09:52):
are we waiting for, Matt?What kind of holding pattern is the world
in? Especially now that the NBAFinals are over the Celtics hung the eighteenth
banner. They are once again thewinning is franchised in the history of the
NBA. We are on Reddick Watch, Get the white Ford. It's time
for this is like hornst Twist ReddickWatch. Sorry, get the white Ford.
(10:20):
It's time for this is like Hornstontwist Reddick watch. So twist thank
you. We are on JJ ReddickWatch. And I just want to compliment
our own Bob Schmidt, the promoguy and the Fear of the Fro podcast
guy. He does a lot ofpromo work. You hear his voice at
(10:41):
Dodger Stadium and Dodger games and allkinds of stuff like that. He does
all the imaging for US and FoxSports Radio. He's brilliant and funny.
And we ordered that this morning.Am I correct to say that? Kates?
We ordered Reddick Watch this morning andbam, it hit us right in
(11:01):
the face. And we're on flexalert today. Got the whiteboard? It's
time for this is like horns tootwist Reddick Watch. So we are officially
on Redick Watch. How long willRedick Watch last? Will it be a
sharoon balloon when the news breaks?Or will it be a woojes bomb carpeting
(11:22):
the globe of NBA information. Weare all waiting and very much anticipating Reddick
Watch. So there you go.Horns to top twin twist, horns to
twist. This is like horns tootwist Reddick Watch, Like horns to twist?
(11:43):
So very good. Where's the whiteboard? Ford? It's time for this
is like horns too twist Reddick watch. So we got that got that horn
up yesterday, so we assume itwill be arriving in short order. Like
what are you saying, Matt,Like short order? Like what like?
I mean, I would assume theywant it. I would assume they want
(12:07):
it ready to roll for the theTalking Heads shows in the morning that tend
to do pretty well on the Evilfor let you know, the skip with
the gold chain out over the mockturtleneck. Who I think does it with
Keith Shawan And I think there's someoneelse there now, Piers Paul Pierce.
That's right, Paul Pierce, PaulPierce, Keishawan and Skip, and then
you got steven A and McNutt.I saw the McNutt. They want to
(12:28):
get it out there for McNutt,steven A and Molly and for the Talking
Heads to get rolling. So Iwould make you know, probably an afternoon
higher so, because they're not goingto do it early enough in the morning
for them folks to get rolling.Yes, Kates, Well you've been waiting
for the finals to get over.Those are done. Tomorrow is Juneteenth holiday,
So are they going to make anannouncement tomorrow? Probably not right,
(12:52):
So it's late in the afternoon.Now on Tuesday, he's probably just flying
back from the East Coast. Igotta you know dot all the i's cross
all the tea. So we're lookingat Thursday now before the draft. The
draft is on a Wednesday. It'sa two night spectacle. Now, first
night on Wednesday for the first round, second round on Tuesday, is it?
It's a two night affair now,so wait the second round? Is
(13:13):
that following Tuesday? Oh, thefollowing Thursday? Next day? Okay,
so Wednesday, first round, Thursday, second round. They nobody about whoa
nobody cares James. That's a goodpoint, Briddy James. We are gonna
be stuck covering the entire draft becauseof Brownie James for two days and we're
gonna be left holding our poots.Gosh, you gotta do the pick my
pick in the second round, Brian, And the Dodger game is gonna come
(13:35):
on and we're gonna look like fools. Well, the Dodgers are off next
Thursday, I believe. So thesecond round will start pick number thirty one,
the Toronto Raptors on the clock onThursday, and we'll find out it's
the dumbest thing ever, running thatthing on Twodays, there's no nobody cares
about the picks after the top five. You know why it takes so long
(13:58):
because they have to do the weird, creepy, awkward interviews with the families
and the mentors and the high schoolcoach and the weird fitting hats on giant
dreadlock bouffonts. That is just awkward. The whole thing is going to roll
out and we're going to be expectedto cover it. The only thing we
can be saved by Kate's and I'mgoing to expect you to cross reference in
(14:22):
the moment because we have schedule talkhere. Schedule talk is very important,
can be important to us? Canwe be saved by the Dodgers? Can
we be saved? No? What? Sure? What is the Dodgers schedule?
Dodgers aren't off next week? They'reon. Dodgers are off next Thursday?
They are Yeah, there's no game. They play a five o'clock game
(14:43):
in Chicago against the White Six.Where were you next Wednesday? Next Thursday?
The twenty seventh Coaches Conference full showA bitch? Okay, so the
first round you guys wanted to beon then you guys are off at four
o'clock on ends day, the twentysix, the draft starts at four o'clock,
so hopefully he's probably gonna be onfor Brownie Watch. Wow, that
(15:07):
is going to wreck the show.So we have JJ Reddick Watch. We
have Brownie Watch, and we haveAirbrush Guy Watch Reddick Watch. So we
got there's more watch. I am, I am, I am more interested
in than the others. I'll beaware. We're like a lady in waiting,
Matt. What is your watch ofinterest? Dismatch is with more than
(15:28):
your house, Dave? What isit? It's an oddwarm, it's an
ap It's worth more than your eyes, Dave, look at it. I
guess that's the watch you're most interestedin? Is that one? Hell?
Was it? We're gonna get ourAirbrush Guy or not? Damn it?
Yeah? Happy sweet? So doI I do too, Matt. But
(15:50):
you know, times are hard.The more you do around here, the
more they expect. By the way, the draft next week at Barclays Center
on Wednesday, first round as normal. The second round on Thursday will be
live from the ESPN studios in ManAt The second round will also expand time
between picks from two minutes to fourminutes in between. Come on. So
(16:15):
we are getting completely and totally secondrounded, but we will be saved by
the Dodgers for the first round.This has been scheduled. Talk on the
Petrols of Money Show on June eighteenth, twenty twenty four. No time,
there's never any time. I don'thave time to study. I'll never get
inner stand schedule talk naked damn schedule. Stick to it because it's so important
(16:41):
for listeners to know the schedule.Now I ask you guys this question with
the full show next Thursday. Thatwas accurate, though what I just said
was accurate. Right, Yes,we will. We will not do a
lick of coverage on Wednesday, andwe will have the draft. I think
in its entire Well, what timedoes it start? Kates us second round
to not saying I'm assuming four o'clock, I would guess it's a primetime affair,
(17:03):
right, Oh, absolutely, absolutely, So you guys want to be
on remote, be with the peoplewhen that pick comes in at number fifty
hooters, that's always a great spot. You got it? Well, I
think you know it's kind of likea messy game in Argentina. I mean
that's how many people are going toshow up to watch Bronny be picked.
I mean it's not just going tobe Sierra Canyon faculty that want to come
(17:23):
out and celebrate. I mean fourminutes between picks. He ain't gonna get
picked at fifty five until like teno clock eastern. I think we should
really aim high Hollywood Bowl. Ifwe can't get that, I can't do
it. Chris Apleson's playing next weekand the Hollywood Bowl Wednesday and Thursday.
Looking for tickets. By the way, so fantageous. I think Wicked is
(17:44):
back John Ansen Ford. I thinkthey're re enacting the Murder of Lincoln at
the Fourth Theater. No One differentdifferent Ford, different Ford Theater, very
close though in proximity. I guessyou could say there's right at this point,
there are more questions. No,no, wait a minute, Wait
a minute, wait a minute,what Matt, I think I think we've
been saved. What? Yes,we've been saved. The coverage on day
(18:11):
one, as we get deeper intoschedule talk and we lament the idea that
we might have to be on theair when Bronnie is selected by the Lakers
at fifty five eight pm Eastern.So five pm our time on June twenty
six for the first round. Thesecond round is at four pm Eastern.
What. Yes, it's a midday affair for us, so that thing
(18:33):
starts at one pm. We mightwe might be just signing on at three
pm. So just getting nailed atthe end exactly, Like right as we
sign on and I bet Rogan androdn you're gonna be like, this isn't
fair. Yeah, and you're gonnawant to stay on. We've been carrying
this whole draft. We should beto catch it in and talk about brawny
(18:55):
to the Lakers. So that's great. We're not going to have to do
anything for the first round, Katecorrections and retractions on you. We're not
gonna have to do anything for thefirst round, and for the second round,
all we might have to do isget the brownie pick real quick and
bail out, like like, whosecorrections and retractions? Well, let's do
(19:15):
the math here. Thirty one thanthe fifty five's fourteen picks? Right?
No, is that more than fifteenpicks? Twenty four picks, twenty four
pi. It's a one hunt,right, it's thirty picks and you said
four minutes between so it's a onehundred and twenty minute affair. It's a
two hour affair if everything goes onschedule, which it won't, so build
in another twenty minutes, right,and you're talking about three twenty pm when
(19:37):
this thing's gonna wrap up. Ilove this great, This is all right?
Well you know what, that's betterthan not knowing. Okay, there's
still more questions and answers. However, we just solved a real problem there
and it wasn't even on our dime, on our time. Because we are
flexed back today, we'll be rightback with a very serious is passet coming
(20:00):
on next Kate, no flip topstory. Okay, yeah, we have
a we have an update. It'sI'll do it. We have an update,
Matt. We've got a big updateon uh, some things that we're
very knowledgeable about when it comes toour knowledge. Thanks for listening on this
(20:22):
two in modal Tuesday, the PetrosenMoney Show on AMTI seventy LA Sports not
as responsible for the NBA Draft aswe thought we were gonna be because last
year for us, we got burntby bad We got burnt like Gonnarea last
year. Going until four thirty twohours from now, Kates will take over
(20:44):
Dodgers on deck. Dodgers rocky secondof four games. It's one of the
worst teams in the league. Nicestretch of contests here for the Dodgers as
they deal with some serious injury issuesnext eleven, and then we'll get into
it a little deeper next eleven.I believe the team's collectively like seven hundred
games under five hundred, so prettygood stretcher. All right, it is
(21:08):
now time for the FlipTop story ofthe day. I'll clip you out,
I will look you out. Thisis the FlipTop story of the day,
all right. As we remain onReddick Watch diligently scanning the dunes for tweets
from Adrian or Shams, I dohave a small report for you, Matt,
(21:33):
after the show yesterday, when youwere cold dipping your dog on Instagram.
Oh dipped, it's so cold,which is very restorative. Of course.
I went to get a tuna meltat the Malaga Cove Market down the
street from my house, owned andoperated by a kindly Armenian family, and
(21:56):
they've been there a long time.And I even got myself a beer,
Matt and a tuna melt. AndI sat down. Now, Matt,
this is a place where the elderlyand the youths kind of congregrate, not
a lot in between, you knowwhat I mean. You got your old
people right hanging out, spending timetalking, being in the community, complaining
(22:22):
about things, talking about the weather. I like those kind of conversations.
Yes, And then you have theyouths, the youth and youth And when
I rolled up there, right whenI rolled up, there was an old
lady in advisor just verbally dressing downthree preteen youths or early teen youths on
(22:48):
fat, tired, souped up electricbikes, yelling at them that they couldn't
be there, that they're blocking thedoor. And mind you, and I
think this is a point that mightbe lost on some. These are not
just any old ladies and any unrulyyouths, Matt. These are Palace Verdi's
(23:10):
estate youths and old ladies, whichis the snarkiest brand of both available.
Lots of entitlement from both groups.Hard to beat that level of entitlement in
the Southland, that's very hard,especially at the Malaga Cove Market, Matt,
because they both feel as if it'stheir territory, right, the youth,
(23:32):
it's them all. This is wherewe hang out. Yeah, this
is where we buy our gum andour potato chips and our cheeseburgers and fries.
I don't believe cigarettes are available tothe young. Uh. And for
the old this is where they congregateand play bridge or whatever. Anyway,
the old lady was really dressing downthe youths, giving them a verbal tongue
(23:52):
lashing, and the youths were justignoring her and staring down at their phones,
and they were filming. One ofthem wasn't filming. No, usually
they maybe they were, you knowwhat I mean, because one of them
does it on the slide. Butthey were just staring at their phones and
acting like she wasn't talking at alland that. Yeah. And then they
(24:18):
started going back and forth around thebrick walk and parking lot, ripping wheelies
and being generally disrespectful. Well,no better way to disrespect the elders than
with a wheelie. And then theyrolled out, and you know, while
all the elders were inside kind ofshaking their head in disgust. And I
watched and I quietly thought, I'magainst these young people, and I'm against
(24:45):
their electric bikes. But I'm alsoquietly enjoying my beer in Tuna melt,
So I'm just gonna watch this unfold, and it's unfair to ask the kindly
Armenian family to choose between the elderin the youthful bike gang customers. Customers
are customers, and also Matt thepalace Verdi's estates Popo is literally next door
(25:10):
to that shopping center, So ifthey wanted to swoop on those unruly youths,
I'm sure that they would be ableto do, would assume they would
have right. But instead, here'sa fit looking old lady in a in
a pretty tight fitting country club outfitwith a visor and a Pinafore golf tennis
de just waving her finger around atthese kids, and they're acting like she's
(25:33):
invisible, like she's a ghost.But mark my words, this anti e
bike youth gang summer on the PetrosenMoney Show is not stopping. I will
report all e bike incidents that Isee with my own eyes my man camera,
and I will also read and scourthe local papers. The by youth
(26:00):
gangs will be defeated and legislated against. I think, much much like many
scourges that affect our and afflict oursociety, our daily lives. We routinely
find ourselves ahead of the masses whenit comes to filing their protest. And
(26:21):
even though e bikes have been ascourge for a little while, I do
feel as though your proclamations and yourdedication to reporting the the trespasses and those
that have been trespassed against in someof these private communities is on the front
end of this curve. And andI do believe you may need to begin
(26:44):
documenting. I hate the idea thatthat our that our grocery cart, our
grocery cart sermon was stolen by theWoody show upstairs with the cart narks and
they ran away with that thing.Yeah, I think I think you need
to get ahead of it with thee bikes and chronicle the showdowns between the
(27:04):
old and the young well, youknow, I mean in your neighborhood.
I think I think this is somethingthat should be chronicled all summer long.
You know, man, I'm nota Ropsia from Channel five or whatever you
are not, but I am knownat that Malaga Cove market and I can't
just pick up a camera like somekind of street journalist and start waving around
(27:26):
killing Hall and Nightcrawler. Right,I can't just do that now like Jillen
Hall and Nightcrawler. I might beable to hire some kind of deadbeat flunky
to take a talk by the localburnout to do my bidding. Look,
I'm not really uh and I'm nota fan of dressing down the youth and
(27:47):
yelling at them, because all theydo is put a camera on you and
make it look like a furious adultand then like you start sprinting after them
all angry like Alex Jones, like, oh you know that, they flip
you off, make you look likea fool. Like, I'm not into
that either. Oh they give youthe the run in your mouth with their
hands move yeah yeah, yeah,yeah I saw that one. Agauriate you.
(28:11):
Yeah, will I'm gonna kick yourass. Then you're gonna jail.
Then you go to jail. Iknow you won't do that. Yeah,
nobody, nobody wants to deal withthese ahle kids. And look, I
think these e bikes should be legislatedagainst vigorously, like they are already being
in some towns. And I willsay this as well, there's nothing I
(28:32):
can do about the snarky, elderly, and I don't see that as being
much of a problem, not likethe snotty cavalry of punk kids with their
Sigma and their skimmity and their gillatand their rizzlers and f these kids.
I'm tired of it, tired ofthe e bikes. I didn't care what
the kids were doing, but thee bikes were bugging me. I didn't
(28:52):
care about their YouTube and their PeutiePie or any of that stuff. I
didn't care. It's the e bikes. The e bikes have to be stopped.
Well. I think threats are probablythe best way to approach it.
I'm read physical violence. I didn'tthreaten anything. You should bring your you
should bring your stone. What yougotta do is bring your sharpening stone,
(29:15):
my wetstone. I don't have one, and your knife. That would have
been a nice birthday present, anice wet stone. Yeah, sharpen those
knives, and as you sharpen it, sh sh sh, you just casually
walk up to them kids. See. I think the high road, Matt.
I think me running around threatening childrenis not the way to go.
(29:36):
That's just why you kids been ridingthese bikes lately. Sh I kind of
like the cut of your guys jib. You know, it's a place of
shame. If those hydraulic brake linesgot cut, wouldn't it sh that angry?
Overly? Tan Lady had a point, though, you know, this
is a place where the community congregates. It's not just a place for you
to zip up and down and dowheelies and harass everybody. Oh somewhere else,
(30:00):
go to an e bike track,or do what you're supposed to do
and drive it off a pier andturn it into one of those recyclable reefs
or whatever Matt was talking about theother day. Oh yeah, the artificial
reef. Yeah, artificial break outthere, that's what they should be.
So anyway, that's the latest inthe e bike world. I do have
(30:22):
one more question before yest uh thetuna melt. It's not about me running
around with a knife, is no, no, no, no, it's
just a quiet Where did you goto get the sandwich again? The market?
Okay, the Malaga Cove market.You got a problem with that,
Matt, No, No, I'mwondering because you know, tuna melt's a
pretty it's a pretty hefty investment.Did you have a hankering for the tuna
(30:44):
melt or are they known for theirtuna melts? They make a good tuna
melt and it's not really that big. Uh. It's just like a square
sandwich, not like a whole bigass like hogi thing, you know,
Okay, if that makes sense.Yeah, I just didn't you know.
It's a very, it's a very. It's a very simple tuna mel Yeah,
(31:04):
I believe Rami. We're known forour hogi? Are they known for
their day? This is what peoplecome and get. They get, They're
known there. I've never seen anyoneelse order it. If that's the That's
what I was ditting at. Butthey have all they have all kinds of
weird stuff there though. They havelike pizza, they have cheeseburgers, They
have tabuli and dolmades and stuff.Because they're Armenian. They make bac lava,
(31:30):
they have coffee, They do breakfastburritos, so they have a lot
of stuff they Yes, they are, they are Armenian. The tuna melt
is my go to there, Matt. It's simple and I like it.
I don't you know. I thinktheir French bread is a little bready,
so I like the thinner bread thatthey use on their tuna melt. If
(31:52):
you had to addim it's neither relevantto this country season it is because it's
not often hears someone say I'm goingto go out for a tuna melt.
I have often ordered the tuna melt, but I had never ordered a beer
there and just sat there and drankan alcoholic drink there. I've seen others
(32:14):
do it and judge them for it. And yesterday, yesterday, I was
like, I'm gonna do it,and I did it, and I bore
witness to this neighborhood drama that I'mrelaying here. That is one step further
to legislating against electric bikes all overthe Southland. Some money, why not
(32:37):
have yor why not have PEV leadthe way. Some town's got to get
it started, might as well beyours with a man who's got a microphone
to amplify the message to millions.I believe some other towns locally have already
started, Matt, but I'll takecredit for palas Brine's estates, Rolling Hills
Estates, the private city of RollingHills, and the city of my upbringing,
(33:01):
Rancho Palace Verdes, collectively making upthe hill. I think what we
have to do is electric bike shouldbe banned from the entire hill. Remember
like when when it wasn't enough tohave the passport or the escort radar detect
there, and dudes got the jammersthat were able to get jam like you
(33:23):
need to get an e by jammer. There's got to be a way to
jam the device so that the batteriesin Manhattan Beach they actually have a name
for their gang. They should begood. They're called the Manhattan Beach Goons.
The mbg's huh the goons? Dothey seem like goons or do they
(33:47):
seem like rich entitled kids or both? What's the difference? Their point?
We'll be back, and I haveit on good authority that a lot of
those kids are from North Okay.We got a secret Textoso rodeo around oh
No Vassa all right, ten daysaway. Second stop of the Petro sand
(34:12):
Money Summer Tour is going to beat Brewery X in Anaheim. It is
right off the ninety one at Glasselor glassl or you want to pronounce it.
Always forget thirty one ninety one EastLa Palma is the address and opportunity
for you to be our second finalistfor a shot at eleven thousand dollars in
a cash giveaway at the end ofthe whole thing. So again, set
your schedule one week from Friday,June twenty eighth, breweryx Anaheim, three
(34:37):
to six pm. Dodgers are inColorado. Let's talk to Vase all of
the Dodgers with an inside look atthe Dodgers. This is the Vass Report
with David Vasse. All Right,Dave Vasse is our Dodger reporter. He's
also the best of the business.He works at Spectrum Sports, then at
(34:59):
MLB. Now I worked too,but he really works right here on Ami
seventy LA Sports New Look. Lastnight with the lineup, Dave went pretty
well. That had to be thegeneral consensus amongst you seemed types. Yeah,
for sure. Obviously it helps whenyou're playing the Rockies. It's kind
of like when a manager has ateam meeting before you're playing the last place
(35:21):
team. It always looks better andhas a better chance to work. So
last night it is what it is. On face value. It was better
than Otani and will Smith going over, but certainly a great night all around
for the Dodgers. For the firstnight without Mookie Betts, Miguel Rojas gets
three hits, so Tawi three hits, and Freddie Freeman a career night of
(35:45):
five walks. He's on base allsix times. And I will say this
obviously an impressive night for Freddie.But it goes back to what I was
talking to Nomar about before you puthim on the show last week. Talked
about when you're in a slump,you don't see the ball well, you're
lunching for pitches, you're trying notto get beat on the fastball. When
(36:07):
things are going well, you letthe ball travel a lot deeper into the
strike zone. So last night fivewalks by Freddie Freeman is indicative of how
well he's seen the ball and howwell he has seen it since the beginning
of June. Are we still Iremember when you know the moneyball, Dave,
when walks became a big deal,you know, a big talking point.
(36:30):
Walks good as a hit, maybeeven better, blah blah, that
sort of thing. Are we stillthere? Like, are walks still valued?
Because it just certainly seems like it'sa home run league and you want
the ball to get the hell outof the park so much so they don't
care about strikeouts. Where where ismajor League baseball at in twenty twenty four
with walks, No, it's comingback more towards the center. Obviously,
(36:52):
you don't want to have a lineupwhere everybody's identical in their approach and their
style, and that's where the Dodgershave been a little bit better. A
guy like Max Munsey is still amoneyball type player three true outcomes, but
his value and to this lineup isbecoming more and more apparent because he does
(37:14):
see more pitches than most per atbat. Sometimes it does end in strikeouts,
but it did serve a purpose.Now Kevin Bigio drove in his first
run last night, he actually swungthe bat because on Sunday afternoon he struck
out three times looking. In hisfirst at bat last night, he struck
out looking. The Dodgers saw somevalue in him because his on base percentage
(37:38):
was in the three fifties despite hisbatting average being in the two hundreds.
When he strikes out fifty two percentof the time, it's looking. So
he's one of those type of players, but obviously more of an outlier these
days. He's got a weird lookingface too. Anyway, Dave, what
are you saying speaking of Monthy?What's what's the latest with him? I
(38:04):
spoke to him on Sunday before theDodgers set out on this road trip.
He's still frustrated, he's still notswinging the bat and right now he's in
a holding pattern. So he isstill weeks away from returning. And Mike
I said, his absence is evenbigger now with Mookie Betts lost for the
next six to eight weeks. Andlike I just explained, I feel like
(38:29):
fans don't truly appreciate Monthy when he'sin there, and maybe now they have
a greater appreciation not just for theplayer as an individual, but just how
his style fits into the greater pictureof constructing a lineup. When you construct
a lineup, it's not just aboutone or two guys, it's about how
one through nine flow together. AndI don't want to sound like Victor Brick,
(38:52):
but there is yin and yang toa successful baseball lineup, and Monsey
is a huge part of it inthe middle of the Dodgers order. All
right, Dave, let's get tothe most important topic on the table.
Just announced a couple hours ago.Our next show Hail Tani bobblehead August twenty
eighth. It is not just Oltani, but his dog, Decoy will be
(39:16):
in his arms with a bobbling doghitas well. Your thoughts will he be
wearing the City Connect jerseys based onthe image? I have no, thankfully,
I was trying to figure out whatwas more offensive, the funfetti City
Connect jersey or putting a dog intoa bobblehead. Well, Decoy became the
(39:39):
most famous dog this sided Lassie afterthe MVP announcement, right, I feel
like sudden Mckerje and Decoy right there. So, I don't know, maybe
we can maybe one of these summertour stops, you and Petros can get
a bobblehead made with one of yourdogs that have since passed away, whether
(40:00):
it's McMahon or Ditta or Peyton,one of those guys. I have a
dog that's alive now man. Itwas Gentry and Suwie, Caleb, you
got one now named Caleb Dave.It's the anniversary of Kershaw's Big No Hitter?
(40:22):
Do you remember that, the tenthanniversary? And what do you remember
about it? And is Kershaw goingto talk about it at some point with
you or something. Is he evercoming back? Yeah, Kershaw is supposed
to pitch this week for his firstrehab assignment. I'm not sure if it's
public yet, so I'll just holdit back and let the team announce that.
(40:45):
But more than likely he's pitching tomorrowin Rancho Cucamonga. Whoa tull lyle
whoa. But anyway, Yeah,obviously, I'm not sure people realize.
Even though it wasn't a perfect gamethanks to Hanley Ramirez, it was considered
(41:05):
one of the greatest pitch games inbaseball history. I guess there's a game
score in some fangrass lab that hadKershaw's no hitter back in twenty fourteen scored
the highest of any no hitter.The only game that came higher as far
as a game score pitched by apitcher was Carrie Woods twenty strikeout game for
(41:30):
the Cubs, and that obviously wasnot a no hitter. And Kershaw to
this day is the only pitcher tothrow a no hitter, not allow a
walk, and have fifteen strikeouts inmajor league history. It really was one
of the greatest pitch games in regularseason history. Ridiculous and a hell of
an anniversary, and I'm sure he'lltalk to you about it the next time
(41:51):
you have a chance to catch upwith him, Dave. Last thing for
you in terms of Colorado a lotof city connect conversation. Is it regularly
and I don't know if they're wearingthem today or over any of the four
days? Is it regularly acknowledged thatColorado city Connects those greens are the best
city connect jerseys in baseball. Iwasn't aware of that, Matt. Would
(42:15):
you agree with that sentiment? Ifeel like all the city connects are really
awful. I don't feel like there'sany one that has really said, you
know what, I'm going out tomy local sporting goods shop or online to
buy those jerseys? Is that right? About the What about the foggy bog
of San Francisco? Oh, that'sawful, especially since Kapler wore that jersey.
(42:37):
What about the what about the celebrationof the coter the colors of the
border not in San Diego Diego?Yeah no, No, don't like those
either. You know where? Itwas like it was a very neon ish
graphics on the jersey. Is thatthe one you're talking about with the weird
ads? Yeah, no, whatabout the Mariners? They got the old
(43:00):
school ones, the old school Marinerjerseys, or their city connects. I
actually think if I had to chooseone right now, off the top of
my head's the Twins, the TwinCities. I feel like they've had They've
walked into the best city connect jerseys. Wow. And I didn't mind Lost
Dodgers last year. I thought LostDodgers was perfectly fine. Yeah. Well,
(43:22):
Bill Shakin should be reprimanded for thatarticle he wrote yesterday. Did he
have the link to the store atthe bottom and a promo code? Shake
it, shake it, shake itfeathered? All right, Dave, we
love you, have a great nightout there, and uh, we'll talk
to you tomorrow. Okay, guys, thanks. Times are hard. Yeah,
(43:46):
if you wear them city connects andtry to be cool. I thought
everybody liked the color. I likethe color. I'm with you, Matt.
I love the Rockies. Yeah,those should be the permanence. It's
a much better than freaking purple.The silhouettes of the Rockies on the front.
Yeah, hold on, what arewe talking about here? Yeah,
it's the green, It's all green, and then it's got the silhouette of
the mountains on top of like thereally cool Colorado font like you see on
(44:08):
the seal. Yeah. Yeah,yeah, that's a nice one, right,
what's wrong with that? I thinkit's the best one of them all.
Well, what about the South Sideone? Those are pretty sweet too,
Yeah, you know, like gettingcarjacked by a crackhead. Yeah,
(44:30):
well, things are all right inLa. We don't have those problems.
You get to pay extra for that. Man. We'll be back with your
word number. Song of the Day
