Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome three hours a great sports dot to the Petros

streaming everywhere with the iHeartRadio App hosted by Bad Money Smish.
Check out the fit and Petros Papadakas. That's what we
like to hear. Here they are on your home of
(00:23):
the LA Dodgers in sync and down the Green, petrosin money,
drosin money, rose in money, ros in money. What the
mind doesn't understand it, worships or fears.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Look you're gone, Vic, Petros and Money, AM five seventy
LA Sports Live Everywhere, run the iHeartRadio App. Dodgers off
again today off Monday, swept by the Padres. They have
dropped five of six, four or five or something like
it is five or six, four or five?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
How many of the Dodgers drop? Is that? Is that right? Kates?
Is it five or six or four or five? Four
or five?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
They have dropped four or five. They'll get to the
Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth tomorrow against the Putred oakland A's
and the Stone Bone will try to save this team. Careful, Geez,
humiliation you ain't kidding. Stone Bone to the Rescue Tonight
off day Dodger Talk with Tim Kates at seven full
four hours from us though.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
We have a full four hour show because the Dodgers
are born to mac in Oakland, California. Actually, nobody stays
and this has been a long time, even when the
Golden State Warriors were in Oakland, Doyers, nobody stays. Nobody
as far as professional teams stay in Oakland anymore. So
(01:45):
the Dodgers will be in San Francisco and we will
not talk to Vassay tonight and we will have Tim
Kaits doing Dodger Talk.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, we used to stay on the Oracle campus over there,
kind of like between Palo Alto and.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Sat everything is over on the other side of the
bay and pain in the ass to get there too,
And we never used to do that when we played.
When we played col games on the air, we would
stay in Berkeley, which is technically Oakland. You know, they
could stay in Berkeley in the marina. But anyway, the
Dodgers will be in San Francisco tonight, a weird off
(02:19):
day playing tomorrow, and that makes us a flex alert
for tomorrow's big show. The fourth stop of the twenty
twenty four Petros and Money Summer Tour is tomorrow. A
reminder that we have moved locations. Instead of going camping,
we're going back to Buryex and Anaheim, but we'll still
have a camping theme and we do I believe can
(02:43):
confirm that Bobby Valentine is going to come in person
in person tomorrow, and.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I should have ordered if only we had more time,
I would have ordered fake mustaches well and dark sis,
I mean sunglasses.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I think we can just probably pull those off. And
as far as a fake mustache, those shouldn't be that
hard to find. I mean there's novelty stores everywhere we
live in La Oh yeah, I mean, come on, let's
go to Spencer Gifts US. So it looks like Bobby
Valentine will be our guest in the in the first hour,
but we started two and they're doing an all players
broadcast tomorrow for the Angels Mets game on Bally Sports
(03:26):
with Goubaza and Bobby Valentine, so that'll be pretty cool.
So we'll have Bobby v on and today we have
Bill Plashke and Andy McCullough joining us. We have minor
sports stories, we have a film noir corner. We got
three things Thursday, so we have a lot going on.
We'll promote the event in just a moment. But Victor
(03:48):
Brick is here, a dear friend of the show, and
we haven't gotten to talk to Vic as much this
week because of the weird schedule. But I would imagine
that you're worried about the Dodgers, that they've lost the
way in your mind that the Dodgers have some issues.
That's why we're bringing on Bill Plaski, and that's why
(04:09):
we're bringing on Andy McCollum.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Well, no doubt, you know, the incredible injuries have battered
the roster. But before I get to my my Dodger.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
You have something else. Vig's got an agenda. We love
when Vic has an agenda. What's your agenda? Vic?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Bobby Valentine, Bobby v is eight an amazing guest. He
is a demi god in Japan when he managed in
Japan and he is still, you know, honored with incredible
respect in the Land of the Rising Sun. Is Bobby Valentine,
and he's going to have some sensational stories of Japan,
(04:52):
I'm sure for you guys tomorrow. Brewery X and Anah,
I'm beginning at two. That's going to be an incredible tour,
stop tour, stop them before the summer tour. It's legendary.
It's the greatest sports radio party on Earth.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
There's no doubt about that, not even close. And Bobby
V is going to be with us as long as
Kates can figure out the schedule with him and we
have his number. I have all confidence in the world
that we're going to be able to do that. So
I'm glad that that's out of the way. VIC. Bobby
Valentine ties to Japan and New York, two places that
(05:30):
are very important to you. And what a lot of
people don't know, championship level ballroom dancing, Bobby.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Val Is that right?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, real renaissance man. But your thoughts on this Dodger team, Vic,
they're letting us down. This can't be a super team.
What are we watching out there? Vic? I expect more
from Nick ONMT We spent all winter long pumping these
guys up like d brown shoes and now look at us.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Well again, you see who's in the lineup. You have
Kevin Bigio playing first base. So I believe that epitomizes
what's happening with the Dodgers. Kevin Bigio is playing first base,
taking a shot. I like, listen, he's a utility man.
(06:18):
I like the Rosarios, I like the Edmunds, but you
need the Studs in your lineup against them. Let's face it,
the Padres are playing good ball. I'm not gonna sugar
I'm not gonna sugarcoat that the Padres are not playing
good ball. They are. They have momentum suddenly, you know,
(06:38):
the Manny Machado has rediscovered his stroke ten is much stronger.
They're a tough team. Let's we're still up shot with
about what fifty nine games left. Tim Kates.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Four and a half games out. You got Dodger talk tonight,
Kates from seven to very important that you salve the
Dodger fans wounds. You got it, and I know they
were very upset. You got it, dude, Thank you Olsen
Twins Kates. People are very upset, Tim, and that's all
you got is you got it. That's all you got
for people. Well, I don't think Tim is looking forward
(07:16):
to tonight. He had to wear it last night. A
lot of anger out there. Are you saying that Tim
didn't want to do his job yesterday. He didn't do
his job. I did my job. It was just taking
a lot of incoming last night. A lot. You're gonna
take more tonight. If if you open those phone lines,
people are angry. It's four and a.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
House elemente sunshine fell. Are you with me on this?
Lisk was Copeck, you.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Know my cope. They should have brought him into the
game two nights ago, exactly. I mean, that's that.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Was the move. I mean, you have you know Vessia
burnt out, you know Trina is getting battered. You have
a fresh arm in Copeck. Let him pitch you just
you picked him up. He's got great stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Well, i'd be fast, though, I'd be wrong to say
that us as a show as a collective, because we
spent the winter spinning tales of a super team talking
about a thirty game lead in the hell West. I
mean we swung our puzzos like a helicopter so hard
that Matt flew away. Oh I was airborn.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Well, let's face it, the puzzos will fly.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Well, I mean no, it's not been that way. They're
getting swept. It's been months of mediocre baseball. And if
I don't hit the panic button with my brother Matt.
Then I'm not true to my school. I'm not panicked
about that. I'm not panicked about anything. We are panicked.
(08:47):
This is no super team, and Dave Roberts is supposed
to take the blame for this. You're sitting here telling
me that everything's fine because Calvin Biggio's playing first. You
bought that line, Vic. You see Key k Hernandez's backfoot
(09:09):
when he bats, He's all over the place. Where's the
fundamentals hitting one ninety seven?
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Jeez, the snave Listen when the team gets healthy. And
I know this is a mantra, that is.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
It's been going on for six months, the team getting healthy,
that in and obleak Will Smith trying to tell us,
Oh yeah, Mamona just needs a breather. He's just gonna
skip a start. He'll be fine. We're the Dodgers. We're
the best team in baseball. If you're the best team
in baseball, I'm gonna you haveing won a World Series
during the regular season when it's long.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Isn't this the same thing that Laker fans and Vic
were saying during the Lakers season.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Oh well, we get healthy, We're gonna be good. Oh yeah,
once it all figures out. Yeah, everybody, that's right. Kate's
that's excuse making. That's Lebron glaring, isn't it glaring?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Fellas, show's out.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
She can't make it. It says you gotta win games
man close games out.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Like America's catcher says, we're the Dodgers and we're the
best team in baseball.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
With Will Smith, I'm with Will or Juliani, Edward comes back.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
This is gonna be one crazy strong team. Yeah, Septembo,
we don't know. We don't know. With Yamamoto, we don't know.
With Miller, we don't know. With with walk up Buela,
we don't know. We don't know with with with Brustar Graderol.
Only David Vese knows.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
What we do know is those Padres swing some serious sticks.
Mick and that Padre team booted this squad that had
the best regular season in Dodgers' history two years ago
from the NLDS in humiliating fashion.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
What if a hungry young A's team with a female
play by play guy sweeps the Dodgers at open and then,
what are you gonna say? Vic? You're still gonna be
talking about u Yamamoto might come back in September. Still
gonna be talking about that, or you're gonna actually pay
hit the button.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
All the Panic Brothers are now officially in full effect.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Four and a half games. The entire wild Card is
on fire. Mediocre baseball for months.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Vic, You know, and I see sitting in the wild
Card round waiting for the Dodgers, the Diamondbacks and the Padres.
That's who's sitting there waiting for him in the first
round of the playoffs. How's that feel, Vic?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
That's fine, That's fine. That's what they That's where they
have to beat. They're gonna have to beat very good
teams in the in October.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Why the Dodgers the best team in baseball? To like
puff your chest out and be like, I'm not worried.
Dodger are the best team in baseball. It's like you
got swept last year by the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Were the Dodgers, you know for the best scene of
this falling? You know, he still start playing like.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
It take that to the carnival with your talk.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Were the Dodgers, you know, for the best scene of
this falling? Though, you don't, you know, he still start
playing like it.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
America's catching man. I know you, I know you like
I got his backs, absolutely, And you have to be confident.
And you flip the script and you say you know,
bye bye, pet go and you move on to the
coliseum tomorrow. That's all. This is baseball. It's a different beast.
Baseball's a different beast.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Oh well, I just got a text from Isabelle. Oh boy,
god's trouble now.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
You are in trouble now texts up fine, brought to
you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
We make it easy. Calm down, Pee, I'm frustrated, like
all Dodger fans are, but I'd rather have all this
happening now than during the playoffs, So stop panic, please.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Salient point.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
He's right, and we've said it before, and she is
consistent in her point. If we try to celebrate the
Dodgers in the regular season, the pushback is, we don't care.
Let us know what happens in October. This regular season, byes,
doesn't mean anything to me. So for us to overreact
in the regular season.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
When you see there, they're not really a cohesive team.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
But they were the most cohesive team two years ago.
En route to a one hundred and whatever it was
eleven wins and.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Then caught the mission belt dog to the face. Carnival.
He got him, freaking Carnival Echo Park punching back on Vic, saying,
tell Vic to st f you will. Smith is hardly
America's catcher. He catches dog or the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
You know, for the best scene of this fall online,
you still start playing like catches.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I'm sorry, what dog dong? But you know you're either
a pitcher or a catcher man, and he's catching the dog.
This is hitting the panic button on August first, is
weak ass man. The Dodgers on a losing streak with
backups on the roster. This team hasn't played meaningful baseball
in August or September eight years, and it shows in
the playoffs. This will be good for them. They actually
(13:43):
will get healthy and soon. I have faith. No need
to panic now, salient point exactly. I don't care about
the patchwork lineup with a bag of rotation.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I'm saying, salient point over, let's have a little competition
in September.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Huh. Let's feel a little high, a little breathing down
your neck. But that might make us threadbare as Dodger
fans that listened to the show on My Man, that
is good for business, all right, win a division about
twelve games is not good for business in September, everybody's
wait till October. Now we got a division rights with
that Padres series means something at the end of September.
(14:21):
VIC just imagine getting some playoff reps before the postseason start.
That's what this team needs.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I totally agree. The last couple of years been you know,
dominating the NL West. They come into the playoffs as
they've lost a little bit of that edge. You could
see it. There was there was a lock of that
a next level the kick it did not kick in.
They were flat. I mean, they haven't won a playoff
game in three years. So this will be good for
(14:49):
the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Well, they against the Padres. Remember they won the first
one and then lost three string. Yeah, it was a goose.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Remember it felt it felt like it felt horrific.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Let's not cut them a win short. Okay, they won
one game in the postseason two years ago, swept left
in the last two playoffs. Okay, not zero and six,
one and six? All right, give them their justice.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
If the a sweep the Dodgers this weekend. You guys
aren't gonna be talking about the playoffs. Okay, you're gonna
be talking about surviving. I'm gonna talking about Jenny Kavner.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Well, Number one, I respect the A in the coliseum.
Every game is gonna be tough. There's no easy games
for the Dodgers. Let's face it, there's no easy games.
They're up five nothing in Nervous Vic.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
We'll see how they react to this quote unquote gut
punch that they took from the Padres. I don't know
if this team is built like that to to take
a punch and say, oh, well, okay, we're to fight now,
we're gonna fight back. I haven't seen anything in this
DNA of this team that's gonna say that.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Really, they're gonna pay Oscar Hernandez, that Italian fighter that
took one of the nose and then just quit well.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Way of the way, the way of Tay and key k.
They they have a lot of pass so in that clubhouse.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
It's a hard it's a hard cell to be the
guy with Cardisson, as you say, hitting one ninety seventh,
what cortisone whatever that is, And.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Especially if you're in the ring with some dudes, it's
gonna put you in the face from out jeers in
the face.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I have confidence in this club. Let's face it, we
all have com We know, we know the DNA of
the Dodgers. We know the DNA of this Dodger club,
the country club.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
A lot of the time we can know the DNA is.
To get beat by a fiery team in your own
division two years in a row, that's their DNA. And
you're saying, we don't know how to panic now when
they just get punked by the Padres. How dare you?
How dare you? Sir? You've stolen my childhood like Greta Thunberg.
How dare you?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Listen? We were in into a you know, a juggernaut
right now in the Padres, and they just weren't playing
good ball against the Dodgers. You know, they won a
couple of series in Baltimore and Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I mean, that's they're only four and a half back.
There's a team that was ten games up. We've got
to end of the of a pursuit on k Cow.
Let's go. I think it's over though, Well, I mean
take a look, I mean I hate to make you,
uh divorce yourself from table towns. Oh good thing we
missed this one. Oh wow, look at that. We got
a beamer Korea Town. We got a god damn that

Wilton Matt, you know, Wilton becomes our Benzo. We've got
a Benz and a beamer, a convertible and somebody's layer
bag air bag deployed. Can we get some Channel nine
action in there, Ronnie, Yeah, they would not be zoomed in.
(17:40):
Oh if these world are vehicles, all these people be
dead or that building would be crumbled exactly. Create Town
used to be my spot. Ass. That's a mast seat.
It looks like it's back end just been ripped out
like that, you know.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
And we always talk about out during these near all
the parkman for your town not.
Speaker 1 (18:04):

this is wil take place and that someone is just
barreling through an intersect. Beautiful piece of architecture. That apartment
eample careers out is beautiful. It can be driving there
not so great. They're on the road, I mean, treeking
their lives in their own hands. These people that lead
officers on a pursuit.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
They want to party all night long in Los Angeles.
This is only one place to go. It's career towns.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
A lot of hookers after cowersness and in cases like that,
that person pooked their head out the door. Yeah that's
pretty good. Very sesame street ass for doing this job.
I'm gonna stitch my head on the stool. See what's
going on with green light?
Speaker 6 (18:36):
Even if it's the great for ten seconds and I'm
going through, you know, Glad.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
What can we see what happened? I want to replay
these kinds of things that you just never I.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Mean, I'm assuming it's the black Mercedes convertible that's flying
through the intersection. Clip that guy of the mas the
c X five that almost made it through fits.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
It looks like the MASA drivers laid out against the
palm tree over there. It's just such an oh yeah,
good bass that you and that's a female small street
as well.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
Just super super scary, how crazy.

Speaker 6 (19:11):
Of driving, especially with robbery suspects lately.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, these robbery suspects, they're crazy. They saying that's.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Nuts, super super crazy and take that. It's rough maybe
the police will back off because we.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Have the crazier they drive. They think the police will
back off, But the Koreatown architecture and the lights weren't
backing off. Look at those one lane man towns rough

Speaker 6 (19:39):
Difficult situation for the police. As we see the ambulance
now arriving.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
All right, we can kill the zen music.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Well, we'll see who they go to first. The suspect
may have have been in the worst shape.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
The suspects the most beat up. The innocent person over here. Yeah,
see they're see evaluated and they'll evaluate her as well.
But she he seems to be okay. There's a couple
of like Vato guys crouched down kind of helping her out.
She's criss cross apple sauce with a nice sundress. Offic like, hey,

tied dog on the desk getting Johnson. I want Fernandez.
We'll send you back to regular program. Where's the that's it?
Maybe maybe they never had it. I don't know. Oh

All right, thank you, I'm feeling you, guys, and again chick.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
In the face on four h at least give me

Dodger fans relaxed.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Are you telling us to relax? You don't tell us
to relax of it. If we want a panic, We're
gonna panic.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah. That lead is four and a half games, padres

The one and only Bill Plaski the La Times, the
premier columnists in all the world, and he writes for
the La Times. Why isn't he in France? I'll tell
you why. He's got to cover the trade deadline. That's
(23:08):
why that's true. So for some sports perspective, it's our
dear friend and co host. Quite often, the one and
only Bill Plashki from Around the Horn on ESPN and
many other endeavors. The book about the Paradise Fires. It's
been in the news lately, the great Bill Plashki on
(23:31):
your Southern California Tota Dealer celebrity hotline. We love your Bill.
How are you going on, fellas? How's it going you feel?
Do you feel disconnected not being at the Olympics? Are
you watching the Olympics? See that? Dude?
Speaker 7 (23:47):
I feel well, kind of. I feel kind of weird.
I've been at ten straight, my first one. I haven't been
in a long time. But there's not much. I mean,
after Siverlon Biles, I don't know what else is going on.
I mean, our Stormers are getting their butts kicked. Basketball
is gonna win. I'm not sure after today what what
the big attraction is?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Did the Chinese spa one hundred the hundred? Yeah? Did
the Chinese spy ruin it all for you? Bill? Is
that what it was when they spied on you in China?
Did that take the Olympic taste out of your mouth?
Speaker 7 (24:18):
Oh? Yeah, yeah, you guys remember that? Oh yeah, that
was that was brutal. No, But but how about this cat?
Do you think this Canadian teams should be allowed them
to keep playing soccer. I think they should be thrown
out of the games.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
They cheated, Yeah, throw them out for ends.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Like it's a good excuse for our men's national team too,
for falling in the whatever Cup it was, you know,
the kopam Era. They were cheating ass Canadians.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
Yeah, and they and then you know, the women say
they didn't know that the coach were achieved, but they
still benefited from it. They shouldn't be allowed to be
in the games. I didn't gonna play the Americans in
a couple of couple of days. I think.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
So you are not You are not as invested in
the Olympics as the Olympian journalist that you used to be.
Ten Olympics trade spied on by the Chinese government, a
real pillar of democracy in a communist country, Bill Plashki,
that's kind of over with.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
Now, Yeah, I'm kind of at least these games. It'd
be great to come to LA in four years. But
these games, I get out outside some one bowles I
don't know what. And then how about three on three basketball?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Huh? How do we and Katie von Lit, how do.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
We send Jumi for dinner there or reverends this company
playing basketball, that's ridiculous. Why didn't you?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
I think they got weird rules in that three on three.
You like got to play in some sort of weird
international three on three league for like the last couple
of years in order to get invited. But Bill, what
was worse, because we talked to you from both Was
it the kamis in Sochi and the unfinished hotel? I
think you didn't have heat one night and nearly died
of hypothermia. Or was it the spies in the polluted
(25:50):
air of Beijing.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
As a Beijing because I never knew what they were
looking at with me in my room and I was
in my room all alone. I was lonely, so like
them looking at me. So it was I would come
back to my room after going downstairs to get it,
to get a you know, to get a solda, and
come back upstairs in the room. The door was open.
They were speaking about the rumors. The Chinese. Chinese was
(26:13):
far worse. Was terrible, terrible commerce regime, terrible country. Also
about Russia, Russia's not in his games. I think that's wonderful,
the leasers. No, Russia, Russia's story about well, you.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Got bella Russ and it's almost the same thing. The
great Bill Plaski is our guest. Russia wasn't here in
eighty four either, And what are they coming in the
next four years to la We'll find out. Bell. We've
been watching the Dodgers quite closely as your Dodger station.
You saw what they did in the trade deadline, bringing
in Jack Flaherty and he's a real starter, and that's
(26:48):
a thing. But just swept in San Diego a rash
of injuries and circumstance. What's your stance on what was
supposed to be a super team.
Speaker 7 (26:58):
I'm not worried. I'm not worried right now. I mean
there's so many They're still in first place by a
bunch or four games, and it's amazing first place. All
the injury they had, I mean, Mookie's gone, Monthy's gone,
Freddy Freeman's gone, Mcal's gone. A lot of guys are hurt.
They're all going to come back by September. I think
I think Jack Burdy was huge, so I'm actually surprisingly
(27:19):
for me, I'm not that negative about it. I think
the doctors are going to be fine. I think the
pottery is are butter than we thought they were going
to be. I think the Doctors are going to be fine.
You can't judge them now they don't have other players.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Where do you come out on the Padres bill? You
know they desperately want to be the Dodgers chief rival.
We know there's just decades of history that will not
allow that. Yet, with how easy it is for Dodger
fans to show up at Petco Park for just sort
of the animosity directed north toward Los Angeles by the
(27:52):
San Diego community, kind of where do you put those games?
They'll have one series left with this team in September.
Are they starting to approach just in terms of emotional
investment and for fans and stuff like that. Are the
Padres kind of creeping up the rivalry rankings with the Dodgers,
especially in the present moment.
Speaker 7 (28:12):
Yeah, I think it's a great point. I think they are.
I think they've they've actually passed the Giants. I think
the players sol Pomer's car out the Giants. No sol
Pomer's hat the Giants. The players don't Harry Cater Giants,
players don't don't care about the Giants. But the players
shot with the Padres, and the Padres are pretty good.
They got two All Star closers, they got a betting champion,
they got no hitter, no hit pitcher, they got you
(28:32):
know all they were. They won nine of eleven games
and top piece is even playing, is injured. I think
the Potters are pretty drink throwing good out and get
the feeling that the Dodgers are bugging up by them,
that that they become their main rival. I think they
pass the Giants. They know it comes last from us.
But I think I think the fans to the fans
hate to hate the Podres. I think that the Poppies,
(28:54):
you know, by sending in San Diego's hate a la oh, Yes,
I think that. I think that works. That the better
rivalry the Giants right now. The Giants stink. The Giants
have stunt for several years. So I think the Padres
just the emotion everything. I get the field of Podres
of passing Giants up.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Two years ago, I mean knocked him out of the postseason.
Last year, the Diamondbacks humiliated the Dodgers, uh getting them
booted from the postseason. And that's your second and third
wild card teams right now. I know you said, you
feel good about the Dodgers and they'll be fine, but
when you kind of see you just set the makeup
you got Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis and the way
(29:30):
that the back end of that bullpen's the best in
the league. Dylan Cees, you know you throw him up
against glass. Now, how are you feeling about that? In
a game one?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Are are you at all?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
And you saw what Tommy Famm did in his first
game with Arizona and the life he injected with them.
Any concerns about those two teams in the wild Card
and the Dodgers kind of having to face one of
them in the first round.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
I just think if Mookie Pray and short here are
available and healthy, I think the Dodgers are gonna be fine.
I really do. And I think that I think ging
clarity is huge, huge starting pitcher, it's a huge. I
think that I think, uh, the Stone's gonna be fine.
He's picked well. I think the bullpens over work right now,
(30:11):
but they're gonna they're gonna back off on that, so
just get some the starting pitcher back. I didn't think
they're gonna be I think they're really good. They've been
doing all this crap. They're still the second best team
in the National League, only three games vine the Phillies.
I mean, I think, I don't know. Maybe I'm living
at this wrong, but I'm living at the last half
four right now. I think they're gonna be I'll wait
(30:31):
to see it in September, but if these guys all
come back, they're still a super team. Very possible, will
Smith said. Will Smith said, I think that's the best
year in baseball. I think they still are interesting comments from.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Just real quick then on the on the postseason before
we kind of shift a little bit here, Bill. I
don't know if you saw the breaking news earlier today
on the baseball finally being the one league that comes
to their senses, unlike us having to sit around like
a week and a half waiting for the NBA Finals
to start. That the World Series will have a flexible
date attached to it, that if the NLCS and a
(31:04):
l CS and early uh they are happy to move
the World Series up to October twenty second, a few
days before it would normally start. You in favor of that.
Speaker 7 (31:14):
That's tremendous. You got to keep baseball out of cold weather.
Baseball is that means to play in cold weather? There's
always that the championship has decided in snow and I
it's ridiculous. Yes, they should be pushed up. The rural
series should start, I'll thcover first. The season should be
a month shorter, one hundred and fifty four games. Wow,
(31:40):
inconcent I think that that's so. Yeah, it's perfect. Get
to get the damn thing over with her sooner. Sort
I'm playing in cold weather. I have frozen my ass
up in boxes and press boxes all over the country
for towe many years. I'm tired to do it. I
don't want to do it anymore.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
You deserve better, the great, and so does America. The
great Bill Plaski is power asked around the horn in
the La Times and a dear friend of great sports talk, baill,
are you going out to Vegas for USC's opener? And uh,
how could anybody know what this college football season is
going to be like, especially with our Los Angeles teams
now in a different conference and a whole world of
(32:18):
just a foreign vibe headed our way? What's your take?
Speaker 7 (32:22):
Well, well, I want to say this, I really pleased
to see Deshaun Falter making fun of himself with that
good tea, with that T shirt he wore. You talk
about that, right, Yeah, I like that. That's really cool.
He blew it. He was he got stage so but
he made up forty big himself. I think it's really
good and he's gonna be fine. I think that all
(32:43):
out are on USC. It's a big year for Lincoln Riley.
I mean, I think Lincoln Riley's going to prove himself
he's and they can lose An Lsue easily. Yes, I'm
gonna be there. I'm gonna absolutely be there because I
think they can lose and I think there are seven
to win seasons and then and then what did you do?
I mean, I don't know. I think Lincoln Riley is
the whole story out here. How Hill just he left
(33:06):
Oklahoma to get away from the SEC. Guys were walking
into the Big Ten, and I don't think the USC
can compete. Well, the Big Ten is not It's not
all that they still have Rutgers in Maryland and Northwest.
They have some bad schools there. But I think USC,
I think there's a big question mark and I think
Shaw Foster's got to pass. He's got a underwhelming team,
(33:28):
you know, he will be an overachiever. But what will
Lincoln Riley do? I mean, what do y'all think. I
think he's I think he's under the under the hot
under the the he's on the hot seat, but his
reputations on the hot seats.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Well, he's got to prove that he can handle this
big program, not just Oklahoma's big program. And I want
to see him call plays without a guy that runs
around in freelances. Uh. He's had a lot of success
with guys like that in the past, Baker Mayfield and
Hurts included, So I'd like to see that. And you know,
it's interesting if Lincoln Riley decides to move on one
way or the other at the end of this year,
(34:02):
the USC might have the head coach on the staff already.
The guy they hired to be the linebacker coach, Matt Ends,
who was the head coach at North Dakota State. Those
guys are very well respected. So and he's very well
respected in the coaching world. Were you ready for an
NFL curveball headed your way, Bill right before we let
you go, Justin Herbert, That's terrible, It is terrible. That
(34:23):
was a curveball. It was a curveball for all of us.
Bill Planner, Oh, he's all gonna be out a couple
of weeks. We had a boot and ready for the
regular season.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Is this the first? Is this the first year? Bill,
that you think perhaps professional football in Los Angeles is
more anticipated than college football in Los Angeles the last however,
many years both of these teams, last eight years, these
teams have been in town.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
I think Jim Harbball does that, yes, And I think
the Chargers are the main focus in this town. I
think Chargers are going to do great numbers TV wise,
newspaper wise wise. I think Hardball. I would have to
want to talk to Hardball. He's He's tremendous, he's great
to talk to. He gets it. The Bolt is a
beautiful facility. I think the Chargers of And I know
(35:13):
I'm not just shying you have money, because I know
you're involved in that. But I think the Chargers are really.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
He's been talking it down. He's been really kind of
just trying to put us he's under selling it well.
Speaker 7 (35:23):
I think I think the Chargers changed the whole everything.
I think more people are excited. Frankly, USC people don't
know what to think.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
No one knows what to expect with college football, and
anybody that does is a liar. Anybody that says they do.
They don't know what's coming.
Speaker 7 (35:38):
All right, But well, I'm stunning and hurt that USC
would considered drop it. Notre Dame.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
That's that's I'm I'm I'm gearing up for camp to
get another five or six days. I'm greasing up my
mortars and I'm going to go on a full attack.
Don't you worry, Bill, This is ridiculous. If like and
Ronie wants to endear himself to people at USC, that
answering questions like that in that way are not the
(36:05):
way to do it.
Speaker 7 (36:07):
Yeah, yeah, Riley, Oh my god, my gardener is cutting
my my big bite my trees down. What are they doing?
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Sorry, guys, go deal with it.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Get out there, Bill, put on your Panama hat. Get
out and start demanding answers.
Speaker 7 (36:23):
He's a neighbor's gardener.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Call the locrasta arborist. Take him a gatorade as an offering.
Speaker 7 (36:34):
Pea.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Start yelling at I'm all right, jesus, all right, there
he goes Bill PLASKI will be right back with a
secret textils a rodeo around him. Thanks for everything you've
given it and done for us. All you listeners, we
(36:56):

Speaker 2 (37:24):
I believe every package has arrived and has been secured
by my wife.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Did you tell them about the Vegas trip? Two nights
at an MGM resort? And they got the sandy beaches
of Mandalay Bay, They've got the luxury cabanas of the Billatio,
A lot of good stuff going on over there.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
They've got the Lucky Lions head of MGM. Grand All right, Matt,
it is time for some Textosa.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Fine brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
We make it easy, Hey, Pete, can we get the
I don't like this mike clip into the machine. My
daughter and I say that all the time when we
don't like something, and now it's spread like wildfire with
my friend and at my work and I'm like this, Mike,
(38:12):
Well it's in the Machine's just the opening of one
of them, and I can't it's not that, not that mire.
It is there. It is, so you have you have
to record that and record the recording of it and
then we'll have I don't like this, Mike, now that
I know there are many sharks here, how don't I.
Speaker 7 (38:33):
Get, Mike.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Play the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Don't get Mike, that's where you found the manganese And
I think so, But tell them in the sharks here? Oh,
and I can always tell when they're getting a little
too curious. You have been in the water with the
sharks before.
Speaker 7 (38:52):
So far those guys.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Yeah, well yeah, we will try to get done for you, sir,
And we are you spreading the gospel of great sports
talk through Seahaunt sound clips around southern California. Thank you.
This says Rendon and Trout should be forced to work
as old timey bank robbers at knots Berry Farm on
the train ride every time they land on the DL.
(39:16):
That might keep Trout playing a little bit more, because
it kind of feels like Trout doesn't want to play baseball.
I hate to say, it kind of feels like he
just wants to golf. And I mean, if you don't
want to hurt your knee, why do you go play
center field in a in a rehab game. Why don't
you and then say your knee sore? Of course it's sore.
Why don't you just dh weirdo.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
It's like his body's betraying him.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
He's betraying his body because he doesn't want to play.
Make up the ushers, I'm the angels. I'm paying you
fifty million dollars a year. Go out there, put on
a red vest, grin and grip. This is something you
are going to earn your money. Don't be a casino
greeter like Joe Lewis. At the end, go be tungis
in our AMPM store in the middle right behind home
(40:00):
Kershaw is still looking for his boobs. Yes, yes he
is rough gos. He got his boobs scooped. But that
first inning, huh, well, they were talking him up too,
Like Mendoza was just talking him up and talking them
up and talking him up. And then his boobs just
started getting just butchered up there. And then it's like, hey,
Mendoza just stop. You know, it felt like that. Jona
like that Jonah Hill like hey, just take it, just
(40:23):
shut up. He's getting be scooped. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
I had the radio feet on the way home, and
what I was getting was, You're really gonna have to
dig deep to find the last time Clayton Kershaw gave
up four runs in.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
An Are you sure? Maybe the playoffs?
Speaker 7 (40:39):
What?
Speaker 1 (40:40):
Remember the six runs in the playoffs? Every season playoff game?
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Ever, You're gonna have to really dig deep to find
the last time that Clayton Kershaw gave up before spotting it?
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Question, Pete, did the Panic Brothers only panic for the
Dodgers or anything necessary? It's pretty dumb. Hey, you're pretty dumb,
dumb ass. If we're dumb, why are you what are
you listening for? Then that makes you twice as dumb,
mister dumbass. And second of all, mass if we panicked
about everything, we'd be in a constant state of panic
because the world is headed straight for destruction and death,
(41:12):
self destruction. We're heading for self destruction. Struck well, we're
gonna be destroyed like the face of that Italian woman
by that Algerian guy.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
I want to.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Panic about that? Should We panic about that too, panic
about the poop river.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
The Panic Brothers are a projection of the Big Boss
down the hall. The big Boss needs the Dodgers to
perform at peak level, and when they don't, he begins
to panic. And the panic meets Tim Kates I'm on
conference calls daily, and then that panic meets us Petros
and money, and then the Panic Brothers are born.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
It's trickled down economics. Panic. Yeah, it's a big s
ball of panic that's rolling down a hill. Furiously. I
can't truly speak for Matt, but the truth is like,
we don't really care. We're not really panicked. Yes, Kate's
can you believe that?
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Is mind blowing? I know, yes. No, there's a lot
of things to panic about. We get it, We understand
there's a lots of panic. Have you seen the Sparks record.
I'm very upset about that. Very They're gonna fire Derek Fisher,
he's their coach years ago. All right, Vic is so
full of s This team has no heart using Lebron's
(42:32):
worn out excuses, and somebody needs to tell Rot Dave
Roberts to stop throwing those same noodlel arm pitchers that
keeps He keeps using Phillips, Hudson, Vessia, and Tryna. Uh well,
I think those are the only I mean, those are
all the pictures he has to use.
Speaker 5 (42:46):
The Dodgers, we know for the best scene. This falling
yeast start playing.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
Like this, he's gotta start playing like, yeah, the whole
we just need to get healthy, like Lebron and the Lakers,
and we just say that over and over and over
again till they lose in the playoffs. Great, we weren't
saying they just needed to get healthy when they came
out the gate six and one post All Star Break,
that was everyone wasn't saying, wow, wait you think this
is great, Wait till we get healthy. They were like, eah,
(43:11):
just need a little reset. Well, tany can carry it.
We're good. And now all of a sudden, you got
Nikochman in the ninth spot and you think we're gonna
win these games? Coo, is this the Arab spring. I've
been watching the Olympics. Yeah no, it's good, very international vibe.
You see that Algerian dude puns you tell you chick
in the face. It's not even a headline.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
What Yeah, no, I watched the Belgian woman vombit after exiting,
that is what. And I watched some own biles win
gold earlier today. I saw it with my own.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Sod Magic she or come on, it's on the night
and she can. That was awesome. Everybody on Magic's yacht
watched it, and he showed everybody, flexed on everybody about
his sweet yacht and that they watched some owone biles
that every but he was chance at the USA as
opposed to doing what what else was on the schedule
(44:04):
that they sack aperol sprint. We really sacrificed so we
could watch some own biles when gold on my yacht
in the Mediterranean apperall. I'd rather it happened now than October.
My brother in Christ, it happens in October as well,
Thank yous. That's good. That's a good choice.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
But it doesn't always happen in August. So I think
that's what it is. Well we have he's taking a shot
at is isy and I won't allow that. Is he saying, Hey,
typically July and August or when they go on their
forty and ten runs and they pull away in the
west and then September is fade a comp lead. They've
won the division, no challenge going into the postseason, and
they craft the bed.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
It's bs, Yes, Kate's July twenty twenty four the first
time since twenty eighteen the Dodgers have had a sub
five hundred month exactly.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
So that's what we're saying. This is the first time, Like, yeah,
they craped the bet in October, but this is the
first time they've crapped the bed in July.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
What didn't they have like a terrible losing streak in
like September a few years back, Yes, and everybody was like, Oh,
they're gonna turn it around. This is what they need,
we needed to be competing, and then they, you know,
ended up winning the division by a bunch of games.
And I think the guys, the point is, I don't
like them taking a shot. It is. We just I
like it. I don't like him taking a shot. We
just say whatever it is we could say to get
(45:18):
us out of the moment, kind of like our boss
Don Martin, which is why we have the Panic Brothers
to begin with. I can't take it. Guys, Well, this
doesn't ever happen. Yeah it does. It doesn't happen now though,
Oh okay, exactly right. Send music with a crime scene
unfolding on the radio is hilarious. That was a little
(45:41):
odd money said Sparks Record, and I immediately thought about
Beechwood Sparks. Do they have a new album? Awesome. I
don't even think about the w NBA and Beechwood Sparks
does have a new album. Congratulations, same with Taken Back Sunday.
From what I've heard, yes, they have more great sports
(46:01):
talk word number Song of the Day coming up next.
Welcome three hours a great sports dot to the Petros
and Money Show on air at AM five seventy LA
Sports with the ability to really go anywhere and do anything,

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Look you're gone, Vic, Petros and Money, AM five seventy
LA Sports Live Everywhere, run the iHeartRadio App. Dodgers off
again today off Monday, swept by the Padres. They have
dropped five of six, four or five or something like
it is five or six, four or five?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
How many of the Dodgers drop? Is that? Is that right? Kates?
Is it five or six or four or five? Four
or five?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
They have dropped four or five. They'll get to the
Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth tomorrow against the Putred oakland A's
and the Stone Bone will try to save this team. Careful, Geez,
humiliation you ain't kidding. Stone Bone to the Rescue Tonight
off day Dodger Talk with Tim Kates at seven full
four hours from us though.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
We have a full four hour show because the Dodgers
are born to mac in Oakland, California. Actually, nobody stays
and this has been a long time, even when the
Golden State Warriors were in Oakland, Doyers, nobody stays. Nobody
as far as professional teams stay in Oakland anymore. So
(01:45):
the Dodgers will be in San Francisco and we will
not talk to Vassay tonight and we will have Tim
Kaits doing Dodger Talk.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, we used to stay on the Oracle campus over there,
kind of like between Palo Alto and.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Sat everything is over on the other side of the
bay and pain in the ass to get there too,
And we never used to do that when we played.
When we played col games on the air, we would
stay in Berkeley, which is technically Oakland. You know, they
could stay in Berkeley in the marina. But anyway, the
Dodgers will be in San Francisco tonight, a weird off
(02:19):
day playing tomorrow, and that makes us a flex alert
for tomorrow's big show. The fourth stop of the twenty
twenty four Petros and Money Summer Tour is tomorrow. A
reminder that we have moved locations. Instead of going camping,
we're going back to Buryex and Anaheim, but we'll still
have a camping theme and we do I believe can
(02:43):
confirm that Bobby Valentine is going to come in person
in person tomorrow, and.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I should have ordered if only we had more time,
I would have ordered fake mustaches well and dark sis,
I mean sunglasses.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I think we can just probably pull those off. And
as far as a fake mustache, those shouldn't be that
hard to find. I mean there's novelty stores everywhere we
live in La Oh yeah, I mean, come on, let's
go to Spencer Gifts US. So it looks like Bobby
Valentine will be our guest in the in the first hour,
but we started two and they're doing an all players
broadcast tomorrow for the Angels Mets game on Bally Sports
(03:26):
with Goubaza and Bobby Valentine, so that'll be pretty cool.
So we'll have Bobby v on and today we have
Bill Plashke and Andy McCullough joining us. We have minor
sports stories, we have a film noir corner. We got
three things Thursday, so we have a lot going on.
We'll promote the event in just a moment. But Victor
(03:48):
Brick is here, a dear friend of the show, and
we haven't gotten to talk to Vic as much this
week because of the weird schedule. But I would imagine
that you're worried about the Dodgers, that they've lost the
way in your mind that the Dodgers have some issues.
That's why we're bringing on Bill Plaski, and that's why
(04:09):
we're bringing on Andy McCollum.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Well, no doubt, you know, the incredible injuries have battered
the roster. But before I get to my my Dodger.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
You have something else. Vig's got an agenda. We love
when Vic has an agenda. What's your agenda? Vic?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Bobby Valentine, Bobby v is eight an amazing guest. He
is a demi god in Japan when he managed in
Japan and he is still, you know, honored with incredible
respect in the Land of the Rising Sun. Is Bobby Valentine,
and he's going to have some sensational stories of Japan,
(04:52):
I'm sure for you guys tomorrow. Brewery X and Anah,
I'm beginning at two. That's going to be an incredible tour,
stop tour, stop them before the summer tour. It's legendary.
It's the greatest sports radio party on Earth.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
There's no doubt about that, not even close. And Bobby
V is going to be with us as long as
Kates can figure out the schedule with him and we
have his number. I have all confidence in the world
that we're going to be able to do that. So
I'm glad that that's out of the way. VIC. Bobby
Valentine ties to Japan and New York, two places that
(05:30):
are very important to you. And what a lot of
people don't know, championship level ballroom dancing, Bobby.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Val Is that right?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, real renaissance man. But your thoughts on this Dodger team, Vic,
they're letting us down. This can't be a super team.
What are we watching out there? Vic? I expect more
from Nick ONMT We spent all winter long pumping these
guys up like d brown shoes and now look at us.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Well again, you see who's in the lineup. You have
Kevin Bigio playing first base. So I believe that epitomizes
what's happening with the Dodgers. Kevin Bigio is playing first base,
taking a shot. I like, listen, he's a utility man.
(06:18):
I like the Rosarios, I like the Edmunds, but you
need the Studs in your lineup against them. Let's face it,
the Padres are playing good ball. I'm not gonna sugar
I'm not gonna sugarcoat that the Padres are not playing
good ball. They are. They have momentum suddenly, you know,
(06:38):
the Manny Machado has rediscovered his stroke ten is much stronger.
They're a tough team. Let's we're still up shot with
about what fifty nine games left. Tim Kates.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Four and a half games out. You got Dodger talk tonight,
Kates from seven to very important that you salve the
Dodger fans wounds. You got it, and I know they
were very upset. You got it, dude, Thank you Olsen
Twins Kates. People are very upset, Tim, and that's all
you got is you got it. That's all you got
for people. Well, I don't think Tim is looking forward
(07:16):
to tonight. He had to wear it last night. A
lot of anger out there. Are you saying that Tim
didn't want to do his job yesterday. He didn't do
his job. I did my job. It was just taking
a lot of incoming last night. A lot. You're gonna
take more tonight. If if you open those phone lines,
people are angry. It's four and a.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
House elemente sunshine fell. Are you with me on this?
Lisk was Copeck, you.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Know my cope. They should have brought him into the
game two nights ago, exactly. I mean, that's that.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Was the move. I mean, you have you know Vessia
burnt out, you know Trina is getting battered. You have
a fresh arm in Copeck. Let him pitch you just
you picked him up. He's got great stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Well, i'd be fast, though, I'd be wrong to say
that us as a show as a collective, because we
spent the winter spinning tales of a super team talking
about a thirty game lead in the hell West. I
mean we swung our puzzos like a helicopter so hard
that Matt flew away. Oh I was airborn.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Well, let's face it, the puzzos will fly.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Well, I mean no, it's not been that way. They're
getting swept. It's been months of mediocre baseball. And if
I don't hit the panic button with my brother Matt.
Then I'm not true to my school. I'm not panicked
about that. I'm not panicked about anything. We are panicked.
(08:47):
This is no super team, and Dave Roberts is supposed
to take the blame for this. You're sitting here telling
me that everything's fine because Calvin Biggio's playing first. You
bought that line, Vic. You see Key k Hernandez's backfoot
(09:09):
when he bats, He's all over the place. Where's the
fundamentals hitting one ninety seven?
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Jeez, the snave Listen when the team gets healthy. And
I know this is a mantra, that is.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
It's been going on for six months, the team getting healthy,
that in and obleak Will Smith trying to tell us,
Oh yeah, Mamona just needs a breather. He's just gonna
skip a start. He'll be fine. We're the Dodgers. We're
the best team in baseball. If you're the best team
in baseball, I'm gonna you haveing won a World Series
during the regular season when it's long.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Isn't this the same thing that Laker fans and Vic
were saying during the Lakers season.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Oh well, we get healthy, We're gonna be good. Oh yeah,
once it all figures out. Yeah, everybody, that's right. Kate's
that's excuse making. That's Lebron glaring, isn't it glaring?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Fellas, show's out.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
She can't make it. It says you gotta win games
man close games out.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Like America's catcher says, we're the Dodgers and we're the
best team in baseball.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
With Will Smith, I'm with Will or Juliani, Edward comes back.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
This is gonna be one crazy strong team. Yeah, Septembo,
we don't know. We don't know. With Yamamoto, we don't know.
With Miller, we don't know. With with walk up Buela,
we don't know. We don't know with with with Brustar Graderol.
Only David Vese knows.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
What we do know is those Padres swing some serious sticks.
Mick and that Padre team booted this squad that had
the best regular season in Dodgers' history two years ago
from the NLDS in humiliating fashion.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
What if a hungry young A's team with a female
play by play guy sweeps the Dodgers at open and then,
what are you gonna say? Vic? You're still gonna be
talking about u Yamamoto might come back in September. Still
gonna be talking about that, or you're gonna actually pay
hit the button.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
All the Panic Brothers are now officially in full effect.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Four and a half games. The entire wild Card is
on fire. Mediocre baseball for months.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Vic, You know, and I see sitting in the wild
Card round waiting for the Dodgers, the Diamondbacks and the Padres.
That's who's sitting there waiting for him in the first
round of the playoffs. How's that feel, Vic?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
That's fine, That's fine. That's what they That's where they
have to beat. They're gonna have to beat very good
teams in the in October.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Why the Dodgers the best team in baseball? To like
puff your chest out and be like, I'm not worried.
Dodger are the best team in baseball. It's like you
got swept last year by the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Were the Dodgers, you know for the best scene of
this falling? You know, he still start playing like.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
It take that to the carnival with your talk.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Were the Dodgers, you know, for the best scene of
this falling? Though, you don't, you know, he still start
playing like it.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
America's catching man. I know you, I know you like
I got his backs, absolutely, And you have to be confident.
And you flip the script and you say you know,
bye bye, pet go and you move on to the
coliseum tomorrow. That's all. This is baseball. It's a different beast.
Baseball's a different beast.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Oh well, I just got a text from Isabelle. Oh boy,
god's trouble now.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
You are in trouble now texts up fine, brought to
you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
We make it easy. Calm down, Pee, I'm frustrated, like
all Dodger fans are, but I'd rather have all this
happening now than during the playoffs, So stop panic, please.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Salient point.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
He's right, and we've said it before, and she is
consistent in her point. If we try to celebrate the
Dodgers in the regular season, the pushback is, we don't care.
Let us know what happens in October. This regular season, byes,
doesn't mean anything to me. So for us to overreact
in the regular season.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
When you see there, they're not really a cohesive team.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
But they were the most cohesive team two years ago.
En route to a one hundred and whatever it was
eleven wins and.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Then caught the mission belt dog to the face. Carnival.
He got him, freaking Carnival Echo Park punching back on Vic, saying,
tell Vic to st f you will. Smith is hardly
America's catcher. He catches dog or the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
You know, for the best scene of this fall online,
you still start playing like catches.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I'm sorry, what dog dong? But you know you're either
a pitcher or a catcher man, and he's catching the dog.
This is hitting the panic button on August first, is
weak ass man. The Dodgers on a losing streak with
backups on the roster. This team hasn't played meaningful baseball
in August or September eight years, and it shows in
the playoffs. This will be good for them. They actually
(13:43):
will get healthy and soon. I have faith. No need
to panic now, salient point exactly. I don't care about
the patchwork lineup with a bag of rotation.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I'm saying, salient point over, let's have a little competition
in September.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Huh. Let's feel a little high, a little breathing down
your neck. But that might make us threadbare as Dodger
fans that listened to the show on My Man, that
is good for business, all right, win a division about
twelve games is not good for business in September, everybody's
wait till October. Now we got a division rights with
that Padres series means something at the end of September.
(14:21):
VIC just imagine getting some playoff reps before the postseason start.
That's what this team needs.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I totally agree. The last couple of years been you know,
dominating the NL West. They come into the playoffs as
they've lost a little bit of that edge. You could
see it. There was there was a lock of that
a next level the kick it did not kick in.
They were flat. I mean, they haven't won a playoff
game in three years. So this will be good for
(14:49):
the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Well, they against the Padres. Remember they won the first
one and then lost three string. Yeah, it was a goose.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Remember it felt it felt like it felt horrific.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Let's not cut them a win short. Okay, they won
one game in the postseason two years ago, swept left
in the last two playoffs. Okay, not zero and six,
one and six? All right, give them their justice.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
If the a sweep the Dodgers this weekend. You guys
aren't gonna be talking about the playoffs. Okay, you're gonna
be talking about surviving. I'm gonna talking about Jenny Kavner.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Well, Number one, I respect the A in the coliseum.
Every game is gonna be tough. There's no easy games
for the Dodgers. Let's face it, there's no easy games.
They're up five nothing in Nervous Vic.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
We'll see how they react to this quote unquote gut
punch that they took from the Padres. I don't know
if this team is built like that to to take
a punch and say, oh, well, okay, we're to fight now,
we're gonna fight back. I haven't seen anything in this
DNA of this team that's gonna say that.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Really, they're gonna pay Oscar Hernandez, that Italian fighter that
took one of the nose and then just quit well.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Way of the way, the way of Tay and key k.
They they have a lot of pass so in that clubhouse.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
It's a hard it's a hard cell to be the
guy with Cardisson, as you say, hitting one ninety seventh,
what cortisone whatever that is, And.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Especially if you're in the ring with some dudes, it's
gonna put you in the face from out jeers in
the face.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I have confidence in this club. Let's face it, we
all have com We know, we know the DNA of
the Dodgers. We know the DNA of this Dodger club,
the country club.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
A lot of the time we can know the DNA is.
To get beat by a fiery team in your own
division two years in a row, that's their DNA. And
you're saying, we don't know how to panic now when
they just get punked by the Padres. How dare you?
How dare you? Sir? You've stolen my childhood like Greta Thunberg.
How dare you?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Listen? We were in into a you know, a juggernaut
right now in the Padres, and they just weren't playing
good ball against the Dodgers. You know, they won a
couple of series in Baltimore and Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I mean, that's they're only four and a half back.
There's a team that was ten games up. We've got
to end of the of a pursuit on k Cow.
Let's go. I think it's over though, Well, I mean
take a look, I mean I hate to make you,
uh divorce yourself from table towns. Oh good thing we
missed this one. Oh wow, look at that. We got
a beamer Korea Town. We got a god damn that
(17:19):
Wilton Matt, you know, Wilton becomes our Benzo. We've got
a Benz and a beamer, a convertible and somebody's layer
bag air bag deployed. Can we get some Channel nine
action in there, Ronnie, Yeah, they would not be zoomed in.
(17:40):
Oh if these world are vehicles, all these people be
dead or that building would be crumbled exactly. Create Town
used to be my spot. Ass. That's a mast seat.
It looks like it's back end just been ripped out
like that, you know.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
And we always talk about out during these near all
the parkman for your town not.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Far willshare in. St. Andrews was where I was. So
this is wil take place and that someone is just
barreling through an intersect. Beautiful piece of architecture. That apartment
eample careers out is beautiful. It can be driving there
not so great. They're on the road, I mean, treeking
their lives in their own hands. These people that lead
officers on a pursuit.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
They want to party all night long in Los Angeles.
This is only one place to go. It's career towns.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
A lot of hookers after cowersness and in cases like that,
that person pooked their head out the door. Yeah that's
pretty good. Very sesame street ass for doing this job.
I'm gonna stitch my head on the stool. See what's
going on with green light?
Speaker 6 (18:36):
Even if it's the great for ten seconds and I'm
going through, you know, Glad.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
What can we see what happened? I want to replay
these kinds of things that you just never I.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Mean, I'm assuming it's the black Mercedes convertible that's flying
through the intersection. Clip that guy of the mas the
c X five that almost made it through fits.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
It looks like the MASA drivers laid out against the
palm tree over there. It's just such an oh yeah,
good bass that you and that's a female small street
as well.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
Just super super scary, how crazy.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
You knowsh off yeah march mon Ad Jason, you know
who knows just kind.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Of driving, especially with robbery suspects lately.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, these robbery suspects, they're crazy. They saying that's.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Nuts, super super crazy and take that. It's rough maybe
the police will back off because we.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Have the crazier they drive. They think the police will
back off, But the Koreatown architecture and the lights weren't
backing off. Look at those one lane man towns rough
Brother violent robbery or do you know what Koreatown really sucks?
La Marathon weekend?
Speaker 3 (19:38):
My god?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
And have such a.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Difficult situation for the police. As we see the ambulance
now arriving.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
All right, we can kill the zen music.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Well, we'll see who they go to first. The suspect
may have have been in the worst shape.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
The suspects the most beat up. The innocent person over here. Yeah,
see they're see evaluated and they'll evaluate her as well.
But she he seems to be okay. There's a couple
of like Vato guys crouched down kind of helping her out.
She's criss cross apple sauce with a nice sundress. Offic like, hey,
what's up? Are you okay? Pursued crash here at Wilton
Fifth in Korea Town, got his pants run. It looks

tied dog on the desk getting Johnson. I want Fernandez.
We'll send you back to regular program. Where's the that's it?
Maybe maybe they never had it. I don't know. Oh
you think maybe they just responded to the accident itself.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
All right, thank you, I'm feeling you, guys, and again chick.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
In the face on four h at least give me
the replay an Algerian man and an Italian woman walking
to a ring. All right, Vic Steve Osul.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Dodger fans relaxed.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Are you telling us to relax? You don't tell us
to relax of it. If we want a panic, We're
gonna panic.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah. That lead is four and a half games, padres
playing some good ball. Dodger's bullpen is a carnival. Take
it there. The fall got to come to the rescue.
I got the video. You got it? Damn? Oh yeah, god,
d wait till you see Matt. Oh that's why he said.
(21:32):

Speaker 1 (22:47):
One of the great newspaper writers that ever lived and
a man with great emotion and heart, understanding and empathy,
The one and only Bill Plaski the La Times, the
premier columnists in all the world, and he writes for
the La Times. Why isn't he in France? I'll tell
you why. He's got to cover the trade deadline. That's
(23:08):
why that's true. So for some sports perspective, it's our
dear friend and co host. Quite often, the one and
only Bill Plashki from Around the Horn on ESPN and
many other endeavors. The book about the Paradise Fires. It's
been in the news lately, the great Bill Plashki on
(23:31):
your Southern California Tota Dealer celebrity hotline. We love your Bill.
How are you going on, fellas? How's it going you feel?
Do you feel disconnected not being at the Olympics? Are
you watching the Olympics? See that? Dude?
Speaker 7 (23:47):
I feel well, kind of. I feel kind of weird.
I've been at ten straight, my first one. I haven't been
in a long time. But there's not much. I mean,
after Siverlon Biles, I don't know what else is going on.
I mean, our Stormers are getting their butts kicked. Basketball
is gonna win. I'm not sure after today what what
the big attraction is?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Did the Chinese spa one hundred the hundred? Yeah? Did
the Chinese spy ruin it all for you? Bill? Is
that what it was when they spied on you in China?
Did that take the Olympic taste out of your mouth?
Speaker 7 (24:18):
Oh? Yeah, yeah, you guys remember that? Oh yeah, that
was that was brutal. No, But but how about this cat?
Do you think this Canadian teams should be allowed them
to keep playing soccer. I think they should be thrown
out of the games.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
They cheated, Yeah, throw them out for ends.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Like it's a good excuse for our men's national team too,
for falling in the whatever Cup it was, you know,
the kopam Era. They were cheating ass Canadians.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
Yeah, and they and then you know, the women say
they didn't know that the coach were achieved, but they
still benefited from it. They shouldn't be allowed to be
in the games. I didn't gonna play the Americans in
a couple of couple of days. I think.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
So you are not You are not as invested in
the Olympics as the Olympian journalist that you used to be.
Ten Olympics trade spied on by the Chinese government, a
real pillar of democracy in a communist country, Bill Plashki,
that's kind of over with.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
Now, Yeah, I'm kind of at least these games. It'd
be great to come to LA in four years. But
these games, I get out outside some one bowles I
don't know what. And then how about three on three basketball?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Huh? How do we and Katie von Lit, how do.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
We send Jumi for dinner there or reverends this company
playing basketball, that's ridiculous. Why didn't you?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
I think they got weird rules in that three on three.
You like got to play in some sort of weird
international three on three league for like the last couple
of years in order to get invited. But Bill, what
was worse, because we talked to you from both Was
it the kamis in Sochi and the unfinished hotel? I
think you didn't have heat one night and nearly died
of hypothermia. Or was it the spies in the polluted
(25:50):
air of Beijing.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
As a Beijing because I never knew what they were
looking at with me in my room and I was
in my room all alone. I was lonely, so like
them looking at me. So it was I would come
back to my room after going downstairs to get it,
to get a you know, to get a solda, and
come back upstairs in the room. The door was open.
They were speaking about the rumors. The Chinese. Chinese was
(26:13):
far worse. Was terrible, terrible commerce regime, terrible country. Also
about Russia, Russia's not in his games. I think that's wonderful,
the leasers. No, Russia, Russia's story about well, you.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Got bella Russ and it's almost the same thing. The
great Bill Plaski is our guest. Russia wasn't here in
eighty four either, And what are they coming in the
next four years to la We'll find out. Bell. We've
been watching the Dodgers quite closely as your Dodger station.
You saw what they did in the trade deadline, bringing
in Jack Flaherty and he's a real starter, and that's
(26:48):
a thing. But just swept in San Diego a rash
of injuries and circumstance. What's your stance on what was
supposed to be a super team.
Speaker 7 (26:58):
I'm not worried. I'm not worried right now. I mean
there's so many They're still in first place by a
bunch or four games, and it's amazing first place. All
the injury they had, I mean, Mookie's gone, Monthy's gone,
Freddy Freeman's gone, Mcal's gone. A lot of guys are hurt.
They're all going to come back by September. I think
I think Jack Burdy was huge, so I'm actually surprisingly
(27:19):
for me, I'm not that negative about it. I think
the doctors are going to be fine. I think the
pottery is are butter than we thought they were going
to be. I think the Doctors are going to be fine.
You can't judge them now they don't have other players.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Where do you come out on the Padres bill? You
know they desperately want to be the Dodgers chief rival.
We know there's just decades of history that will not
allow that. Yet, with how easy it is for Dodger
fans to show up at Petco Park for just sort
of the animosity directed north toward Los Angeles by the
(27:52):
San Diego community, kind of where do you put those games?
They'll have one series left with this team in September.
Are they starting to approach just in terms of emotional
investment and for fans and stuff like that. Are the
Padres kind of creeping up the rivalry rankings with the Dodgers,
especially in the present moment.
Speaker 7 (28:12):
Yeah, I think it's a great point. I think they are.
I think they've they've actually passed the Giants. I think
the players sol Pomer's car out the Giants. No sol
Pomer's hat the Giants. The players don't Harry Cater Giants,
players don't don't care about the Giants. But the players
shot with the Padres, and the Padres are pretty good.
They got two All Star closers, they got a betting champion,
they got no hitter, no hit pitcher, they got you
(28:32):
know all they were. They won nine of eleven games
and top piece is even playing, is injured. I think
the Potters are pretty drink throwing good out and get
the feeling that the Dodgers are bugging up by them,
that that they become their main rival. I think they
pass the Giants. They know it comes last from us.
But I think I think the fans to the fans
hate to hate the Podres. I think that the Poppies,
(28:54):
you know, by sending in San Diego's hate a la oh, Yes,
I think that. I think that works. That the better
rivalry the Giants right now. The Giants stink. The Giants
have stunt for several years. So I think the Padres
just the emotion everything. I get the field of Podres
of passing Giants up.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Two years ago, I mean knocked him out of the postseason.
Last year, the Diamondbacks humiliated the Dodgers, uh getting them
booted from the postseason. And that's your second and third
wild card teams right now. I know you said, you
feel good about the Dodgers and they'll be fine, but
when you kind of see you just set the makeup
you got Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis and the way
(29:30):
that the back end of that bullpen's the best in
the league. Dylan Cees, you know you throw him up
against glass. Now, how are you feeling about that? In
a game one?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Are are you at all?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
And you saw what Tommy Famm did in his first
game with Arizona and the life he injected with them.
Any concerns about those two teams in the wild Card
and the Dodgers kind of having to face one of
them in the first round.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
I just think if Mookie Pray and short here are
available and healthy, I think the Dodgers are gonna be fine.
I really do. And I think that I think ging
clarity is huge, huge starting pitcher, it's a huge. I
think that I think, uh, the Stone's gonna be fine.
He's picked well. I think the bullpens over work right now,
(30:11):
but they're gonna they're gonna back off on that, so
just get some the starting pitcher back. I didn't think
they're gonna be I think they're really good. They've been
doing all this crap. They're still the second best team
in the National League, only three games vine the Phillies.
I mean, I think, I don't know. Maybe I'm living
at this wrong, but I'm living at the last half
four right now. I think they're gonna be I'll wait
(30:31):
to see it in September, but if these guys all
come back, they're still a super team. Very possible, will
Smith said. Will Smith said, I think that's the best
year in baseball. I think they still are interesting comments from.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Just real quick then on the on the postseason before
we kind of shift a little bit here, Bill. I
don't know if you saw the breaking news earlier today
on the baseball finally being the one league that comes
to their senses, unlike us having to sit around like
a week and a half waiting for the NBA Finals
to start. That the World Series will have a flexible
date attached to it, that if the NLCS and a
(31:04):
l CS and early uh they are happy to move
the World Series up to October twenty second, a few
days before it would normally start. You in favor of that.
Speaker 7 (31:14):
That's tremendous. You got to keep baseball out of cold weather.
Baseball is that means to play in cold weather? There's
always that the championship has decided in snow and I
it's ridiculous. Yes, they should be pushed up. The rural
series should start, I'll thcover first. The season should be
a month shorter, one hundred and fifty four games. Wow,
(31:40):
inconcent I think that that's so. Yeah, it's perfect. Get
to get the damn thing over with her sooner. Sort
I'm playing in cold weather. I have frozen my ass
up in boxes and press boxes all over the country
for towe many years. I'm tired to do it. I
don't want to do it anymore.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
You deserve better, the great, and so does America. The
great Bill Plaski is power asked around the horn in
the La Times and a dear friend of great sports talk, baill,
are you going out to Vegas for USC's opener? And uh,
how could anybody know what this college football season is
going to be like, especially with our Los Angeles teams
now in a different conference and a whole world of
(32:18):
just a foreign vibe headed our way? What's your take?
Speaker 7 (32:22):
Well, well, I want to say this, I really pleased
to see Deshaun Falter making fun of himself with that
good tea, with that T shirt he wore. You talk
about that, right, Yeah, I like that. That's really cool.
He blew it. He was he got stage so but
he made up forty big himself. I think it's really
good and he's gonna be fine. I think that all
(32:43):
out are on USC. It's a big year for Lincoln Riley.
I mean, I think Lincoln Riley's going to prove himself
he's and they can lose An Lsue easily. Yes, I'm
gonna be there. I'm gonna absolutely be there because I
think they can lose and I think there are seven
to win seasons and then and then what did you do?
I mean, I don't know. I think Lincoln Riley is
the whole story out here. How Hill just he left
(33:06):
Oklahoma to get away from the SEC. Guys were walking
into the Big Ten, and I don't think the USC
can compete. Well, the Big Ten is not It's not
all that they still have Rutgers in Maryland and Northwest.
They have some bad schools there. But I think USC,
I think there's a big question mark and I think
Shaw Foster's got to pass. He's got a underwhelming team,
(33:28):
you know, he will be an overachiever. But what will
Lincoln Riley do? I mean, what do y'all think. I
think he's I think he's under the under the hot
under the the he's on the hot seat, but his
reputations on the hot seats.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Well, he's got to prove that he can handle this
big program, not just Oklahoma's big program. And I want
to see him call plays without a guy that runs
around in freelances. Uh. He's had a lot of success
with guys like that in the past, Baker Mayfield and
Hurts included, So I'd like to see that. And you know,
it's interesting if Lincoln Riley decides to move on one
way or the other at the end of this year,
(34:02):
the USC might have the head coach on the staff already.
The guy they hired to be the linebacker coach, Matt Ends,
who was the head coach at North Dakota State. Those
guys are very well respected. So and he's very well
respected in the coaching world. Were you ready for an
NFL curveball headed your way, Bill right before we let
you go, Justin Herbert, That's terrible, It is terrible. That
(34:23):
was a curveball. It was a curveball for all of us.
Bill Planner, Oh, he's all gonna be out a couple
of weeks. We had a boot and ready for the
regular season.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Is this the first? Is this the first year? Bill,
that you think perhaps professional football in Los Angeles is
more anticipated than college football in Los Angeles the last however,
many years both of these teams, last eight years, these
teams have been in town.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
I think Jim Harbball does that, yes, And I think
the Chargers are the main focus in this town. I
think Chargers are going to do great numbers TV wise,
newspaper wise wise. I think Hardball. I would have to
want to talk to Hardball. He's He's tremendous, he's great
to talk to. He gets it. The Bolt is a
beautiful facility. I think the Chargers of And I know
(35:13):
I'm not just shying you have money, because I know
you're involved in that. But I think the Chargers are really.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
He's been talking it down. He's been really kind of
just trying to put us he's under selling it well.
Speaker 7 (35:23):
I think I think the Chargers changed the whole everything.
I think more people are excited. Frankly, USC people don't
know what to think.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
No one knows what to expect with college football, and
anybody that does is a liar. Anybody that says they do.
They don't know what's coming.
Speaker 7 (35:38):
All right, But well, I'm stunning and hurt that USC
would considered drop it. Notre Dame.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
That's that's I'm I'm I'm gearing up for camp to
get another five or six days. I'm greasing up my
mortars and I'm going to go on a full attack.
Don't you worry, Bill, This is ridiculous. If like and
Ronie wants to endear himself to people at USC, that
answering questions like that in that way are not the
(36:05):
way to do it.
Speaker 7 (36:07):
Yeah, yeah, Riley, Oh my god, my gardener is cutting
my my big bite my trees down. What are they doing?
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Sorry, guys, go deal with it.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Get out there, Bill, put on your Panama hat. Get
out and start demanding answers.
Speaker 7 (36:23):
He's a neighbor's gardener.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Call the locrasta arborist. Take him a gatorade as an offering.
Speaker 7 (36:34):
Pea.
Speaker 1 (36:35):

he goes Bill PLASKI will be right back with a
secret textils a rodeo around him. Thanks for everything you've

of Mandalay Bay, They've got the luxury cabanas of the Billatio,
A lot of good stuff going on over there.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
They've got the Lucky Lions head of MGM. Grand All right, Matt,
it is time for some Textosa.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Fine brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
We make it easy, Hey, Pete, can we get the
I don't like this mike clip into the machine. My
daughter and I say that all the time when we
don't like something, and now it's spread like wildfire with
my friend and at my work and I'm like this, Mike,
(38:12):
Well it's in the Machine's just the opening of one
of them, and I can't it's not that, not that mire.
It is there. It is, so you have you have
to record that and record the recording of it and
then we'll have I don't like this, Mike, now that
I know there are many sharks here, how don't I.
Speaker 7 (38:33):
Get, Mike.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Play the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Don't get Mike, that's where you found the manganese And
I think so, But tell them in the sharks here? Oh,
and I can always tell when they're getting a little
too curious. You have been in the water with the
sharks before.
Speaker 7 (38:52):
So far those guys.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Yeah, well yeah, we will try to get done for you, sir,
And we are you spreading the gospel of great sports
talk through Seahaunt sound clips around southern California. Thank you.
This says Rendon and Trout should be forced to work
as old timey bank robbers at knots Berry Farm on
the train ride every time they land on the DL.
(39:16):
That might keep Trout playing a little bit more, because
it kind of feels like Trout doesn't want to play baseball.
I hate to say, it kind of feels like he
just wants to golf. And I mean, if you don't
want to hurt your knee, why do you go play
center field in a in a rehab game. Why don't
you and then say your knee sore? Of course it's sore.
Why don't you just dh weirdo.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
It's like his body's betraying him.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
He's betraying his body because he doesn't want to play.
Make up the ushers, I'm the angels. I'm paying you
fifty million dollars a year. Go out there, put on
a red vest, grin and grip. This is something you
are going to earn your money. Don't be a casino
greeter like Joe Lewis. At the end, go be tungis
in our AMPM store in the middle right behind home
(40:00):
Kershaw is still looking for his boobs. Yes, yes he
is rough gos. He got his boobs scooped. But that
first inning, huh, well, they were talking him up too,
Like Mendoza was just talking him up and talking them
up and talking him up. And then his boobs just
started getting just butchered up there. And then it's like, hey,
Mendoza just stop. You know, it felt like that. Jona
like that Jonah Hill like hey, just take it, just
(40:23):
shut up. He's getting be scooped. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
I had the radio feet on the way home, and
what I was getting was, You're really gonna have to
dig deep to find the last time Clayton Kershaw gave
up four runs in.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
An Are you sure? Maybe the playoffs?
Speaker 7 (40:39):
What?
Speaker 1 (40:40):
Remember the six runs in the playoffs? Every season playoff game?
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Ever, You're gonna have to really dig deep to find
the last time that Clayton Kershaw gave up before spotting it?
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Question, Pete, did the Panic Brothers only panic for the
Dodgers or anything necessary? It's pretty dumb. Hey, you're pretty dumb,
dumb ass. If we're dumb, why are you what are
you listening for? Then that makes you twice as dumb,
mister dumbass. And second of all, mass if we panicked
about everything, we'd be in a constant state of panic
because the world is headed straight for destruction and death,
(41:12):
self destruction. We're heading for self destruction. Struck well, we're
gonna be destroyed like the face of that Italian woman
by that Algerian guy.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
I want to.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Panic about that? Should We panic about that too, panic
about the poop river.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
The Panic Brothers are a projection of the Big Boss
down the hall. The big Boss needs the Dodgers to
perform at peak level, and when they don't, he begins
to panic. And the panic meets Tim Kates I'm on
conference calls daily, and then that panic meets us Petros
and money, and then the Panic Brothers are born.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
It's trickled down economics. Panic. Yeah, it's a big s
ball of panic that's rolling down a hill. Furiously. I
can't truly speak for Matt, but the truth is like,
we don't really care. We're not really panicked. Yes, Kate's
can you believe that?
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Is mind blowing? I know, yes. No, there's a lot
of things to panic about. We get it, We understand
there's a lots of panic. Have you seen the Sparks record.
I'm very upset about that. Very They're gonna fire Derek Fisher,
he's their coach years ago. All right, Vic is so
full of s This team has no heart using Lebron's
(42:32):
worn out excuses, and somebody needs to tell Rot Dave
Roberts to stop throwing those same noodlel arm pitchers that
keeps He keeps using Phillips, Hudson, Vessia, and Tryna. Uh well,
I think those are the only I mean, those are
all the pictures he has to use.
Speaker 5 (42:46):
The Dodgers, we know for the best scene. This falling
yeast start playing.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
Like this, he's gotta start playing like, yeah, the whole
we just need to get healthy, like Lebron and the Lakers,
and we just say that over and over and over
again till they lose in the playoffs. Great, we weren't
saying they just needed to get healthy when they came
out the gate six and one post All Star Break,
that was everyone wasn't saying, wow, wait you think this
is great, Wait till we get healthy. They were like, eah,
(43:11):
just need a little reset. Well, tany can carry it.
We're good. And now all of a sudden, you got
Nikochman in the ninth spot and you think we're gonna
win these games? Coo, is this the Arab spring. I've
been watching the Olympics. Yeah no, it's good, very international vibe.
You see that Algerian dude puns you tell you chick
in the face. It's not even a headline.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
What Yeah, no, I watched the Belgian woman vombit after exiting,
that is what. And I watched some own biles win
gold earlier today. I saw it with my own.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Sod Magic she or come on, it's on the night
and she can. That was awesome. Everybody on Magic's yacht
watched it, and he showed everybody, flexed on everybody about
his sweet yacht and that they watched some owone biles
that every but he was chance at the USA as
opposed to doing what what else was on the schedule
(44:04):
that they sack aperol sprint. We really sacrificed so we
could watch some own biles when gold on my yacht
in the Mediterranean apperall. I'd rather it happened now than October.
My brother in Christ, it happens in October as well,
Thank yous. That's good. That's a good choice.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
But it doesn't always happen in August. So I think
that's what it is. Well we have he's taking a shot
at is isy and I won't allow that. Is he saying, Hey,
typically July and August or when they go on their
forty and ten runs and they pull away in the
west and then September is fade a comp lead. They've
won the division, no challenge going into the postseason, and
they craft the bed.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
It's bs, Yes, Kate's July twenty twenty four the first
time since twenty eighteen the Dodgers have had a sub
five hundred month exactly.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
So that's what we're saying. This is the first time, Like, yeah,
they craped the bet in October, but this is the
first time they've crapped the bed in July.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
What didn't they have like a terrible losing streak in
like September a few years back, Yes, and everybody was like, Oh,
they're gonna turn it around. This is what they need,
we needed to be competing, and then they, you know,
ended up winning the division by a bunch of games.
And I think the guys, the point is, I don't
like them taking a shot. It is. We just I
like it. I don't like him taking a shot. We
just say whatever it is we could say to get
(45:18):
us out of the moment, kind of like our boss
Don Martin, which is why we have the Panic Brothers
to begin with. I can't take it. Guys, Well, this
doesn't ever happen. Yeah it does. It doesn't happen now though,
Oh okay, exactly right. Send music with a crime scene
unfolding on the radio is hilarious. That was a little
(45:41):
odd money said Sparks Record, and I immediately thought about
Beechwood Sparks. Do they have a new album? Awesome. I
don't even think about the w NBA and Beechwood Sparks
does have a new album. Congratulations, same with Taken Back Sunday.
From what I've heard, yes, they have more great sports
(46:01):
talk word number Song of the Day coming up next.
