(02:05):
the final hour. Fun Fast.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
It's fun in effect, it's the Yeah We're three fun fact.
Tell me if you would trade any of ours for
any of theirs. I believe ours include the nacho cheese obviously,
the cool ranch. Okay, yes, I think they relaunched Taco
(02:27):
that's back in the old timey Dorito's bag tacos, and
I believe they have one other flavor that is escaping me,
but it's in a green bag. It's like a Picota
guy or something like that. In Japan, their most popular
dorito flavors something.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
You might see advertised on the Mexican channel.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Man exactly right, watching that they're in a Mexican channel,
this guy goes upside down and backwards, and I'm right,
very inspiring, and then they're crying. Japan's most popular dorito
flavors are part of the same species coconut curry where okay,
coconut curry, cheese and almond uzu, butter and soy sauce.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I guess I trade the butter and soy sauce for
the Mexican ones for.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
The Mexican channel, like sot sauce. But no, Matt, those
sound terrible. A different palette over there, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I suppose so usu is the same thing as Oi.
Geary Quick hits everybody.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Something ms quick hits.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah. The Dodgers are seventy five and fifty two. They're
home tonight versus the Man and Earras. Jack Flaherty is
on the mound. First pitch at seven to ten, Jack
Flaherty's not gonna hig five. You're not gonna hide five everybody,
and we're on forty forty one.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
He just puts his head down and goes right through.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It is enough, Thomas celebrated Aday. What this team needs
is an if you showing how Toani is one of
those nice guys, but he is on a forty forty track,
currently sitting on thirty nine home runs and thirty eight
stolen bases. After another stolen base last night.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Otani goes throw down and he is safe. Show hey,
Otani swipes his thirty eight face, just another step closer
to becoming the dodgers first ever.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Forty forty man.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Remember when Otani gets to forty home runs in forty
stolen bases, he'll be just the sixth player ever in
MLB history to accomplish that feat. Welcome back, my friends
to the Show that Never Ends's what them Never rides.
The Angels are fifty four and seventy two there in
Kansas City, about to get underway with the Royals a
big win. They've called up thirty eight year old right
(04:52):
hander Johnny Quato to make the start tonight. He's riding
his horse there right now last pitched in the big
leagues last year with the Marlons.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
He he was pitching tonight, Johnny Cquato need Johnny Cuato, Yeah,
I didn't know he was still pitching. He's not, but
we figured we'd give them a chance because you got suck.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
We do have a quote from Johnny Quato. I'm gonna
show him who the real horse is. Chargers play their
final preseason game on Saturday in Dallas. Matt will be there.
You can listen on ninety eight seven. He's gonna have
a fistfight Dodger Podre style in the booth with Daniel Jeremiah.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I don't care if you got the high ground. I'm
punching up. Give a damn.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
The Rams are going to Houston. Yes, they will host
a joint practice with the Texans tomorrow. They will square
off on Saturday morning in their final preseason game. And
what about flag football? Matt twenty times, he's got a
lot of wind in his jaws. This flag football.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Yeah. Darryl du Set he is the Team USA flag
football quarterback and TMZ caught up with him and he's
a little upset. Says that Patrick Mahomes. Current players have
not played flag football like he has, and flag football
is a different sport, so he's got a different skill set.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
At the end of the day, I feel like I'm
better than Patrick Mahomes because of my IQ of the game.
I know he's right now the best in the league.
I know he's more accurate. I know he has all
these intangibles, but when it comes to flag football, I
feel like I know more than him.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Okay, really sold it too.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I buy it. Well, he might be right. I mean,
Patrick Mahomes is not a flag football expert.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Sorry, Patrick, I know that looked like a touchdown because
you placed it right in the basket, but it is not.
This is not football and our rules are different. You're
not allowed to do that.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I don't know same reasoning as that not having and
Clark on the Team USA basketball because she doesn't have
any experience with Team USA basketball.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Tim USA did not go down. That was not where
they were going.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
No, they didn't go down, but nobody people would People
would have watched them go up. UCLA kicks off the
season at Hawaii August thirty. First. We love Deshan Foster
whenever he speaks, and today he said kicking and punting
duties are still undecided, but he is excited about his quarterback,
(07:33):
Ethan Garber's.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
Though Ethan Is is doing a great job. I just
you know, we keep him healthy. You know, there's only
some awards out there forming that.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Tends the year.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
You know what, that was so good? You could play
that again.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
What kind of awards are we talking about? Like going
to d D Reese.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
Ethan Is is doing a great job. I just you know,
we keep him healthy. You know, there's only some awards
out there forming that tends the year.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
The Davey O'Brien, I like a fat burger on Gamby,
But everybody awards.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
There are a lot of awards, to be honest.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
Better hope that you didn't say something I beat you
because it's gonna be bad.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
It's gonna be now see you say something he beat you,
It's gonna be bad. Garbage plays great rewards.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
You know there's gonna be some awards out there for
me that tends the year.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Okay, like the rewards program I get at the grocery
store while I get a buck off each gallon of gas.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
You just better hope that you didn't say something I
beat you.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Place it's gonna be bad. Right. That says it right there.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
You do with that.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
What's not changed is USC kicks off the season versus
LSU on Sunday, September first in Las Vegas. One team's ranked,
one team's not. Makes sense of that. We're both unranked
going into the offseason and now one team's ranked, one
team's not.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
It is what it is.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
You know, good we don't come on and playball. USC
and LSU are both ranked. H Pete Carroll got a
couple of radio interviews. Yesterday, went on with Softy at
Kjar in Seattle The Whole Pass and said he's in
the best shape of his life. He's going to teach
a class at USC this year, and today he went
(09:12):
on Serious XM radio and was asked if he wanted
to return to sidelines and coach the football again, which
nobody's offered him a job to do. So, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I'm doing great at what I'm doing right now and
having fun with it, and Glenn and I are having
a blast. We've done so much stuff that we haven't
had the chance to do it in the past. So
we'll see what happens. You know, I'm open. I could
coach tomorrow. I could jump into it and be coaching
tomorrow and not have any problem doing that. I'm not
desiring it right now at this time, and it's just
not that time to be thinking about it, and I
(09:43):
don't plan on it. I don't know. If something comes up,
we'll see, you know, we'll talk to people if there's
something to talk about.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
So it sounds like nobody has offered me a job.
Hence I'm not coaching. But if somebody were to offer
me a job, I would jump at that opportunity immediately,
regardless of what it was.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
That is how I deciphered it, Matt. But you and
I both speak fluent Pete Carroll, Jared. It's not easy
to speak fluent Pete Carrot. Oh misshead coach Lane Kiffin.
On Monday, one of Pete's old.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Proteges another foreign language, stepped up to.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
The podium in his press conference and had something to
say about a bottle of Coca Cola in front of
his face. Somebody drink coke.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
Wow, you guys had one hundred and thirty percent of
your sugar for the entire days in this one bottle,
sixty five grams of sugar.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
A long time yesterday.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
That was a thinly veiled shot at a certain somebody.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
The commodore Brian Kelly.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
So I do not appreciate my Coca colagnation of Coca Cola.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Now be disparaged in such a way. He stepped up
to the podium at the press conference and like bull Run,
had a bottle of a smart water, which is a
Coca Cola product.
Speaker 8 (11:03):
Just a shout out to our sponsor, Coke. You know,
smart water, great coke product, minerals, vitamins. It's just great
for you, so refreshing, healthy, and uh, Coke provides you
all the products that you need depending on what you like.
And uh I love smart water.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
You caught on way to sell it. Coach vitamins, you
idiot vitamins vitamins.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So you got your Sean Foster out here telling everybody
about geography, and out there Lane Kiffin and Brian Kelly
are finding about smart water, drink vimins.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
We just kick off already, idiots.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Week zero Saturday. I warned, I warned for years about
idolizing football coaches, and now Bean Carroll's teaching a class
at USC. The entire day is in this one bottle.
Thank you lane, Hey, snap your fingers and actually excited
and things will happen for you.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
All right. You guys know how to dismount from a
cruiser bike. Let me show you, Let me show you.
We'll be right back with your top story of the day.

(13:10):
Ticketmaster dot BND. Damn it all right, uh, it is time.
Uh well, this week in Matt's Top Stories with Talking
Baseball or recently, I should say, we have lamented that
the Dodger pitchers stay in too long or don't stay
in long enough, and they used to stay in a
(13:33):
lot longer, and it was better when it lasted longer.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
I had to do his layout, That's all you had
to do.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
And we also discussed the popping of the Padre balloon
and how desirous some are of that. And we also
discussed the very sordid history of do you really want
to cruise through August and September or be in a
pennant race? What does it all mean? Historically? Very scattered
(14:07):
in confusing history, No one really knows what they want?
Is that accurate?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Accurate?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Today's top story of the day.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Today's top story the day builds on that theme peak.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Top story of it.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
There are two words that have found their way into
sports talk and are used regularly, and I would say
are abused regularly hawk tua. Beyond hawk tua, the two
words are narrative and meritocracy. Okay, a word that is
(14:44):
found its way into sports talk despite being perhaps a
bit high brow at first glance, because I guess sports
talkers don't want to say you got to earn it
or production plays or whatever else, over and over again.
So this big word has been put in to our
(15:07):
lexicon to help flex our dumbass sport. Yeah, meritocracy. It
is not a clean fit either. Chrisy is always applied
to government or a ruling class, not a sports team.
But for the sake of this conversation so I feel
(15:27):
smarter than I am, we will go to the meritocracy
route and doing a little digging around here, Pete. If
we were to attach a Chrisy to the Petros and
Money show, were it not a radio show but a
sovereign nation, I would say we are either and these
(15:47):
are all Greek words, so you may find them familiar.
We are either a cokistocracy, cockystocracy government by the word people,
or a guynachocracy all chicks exactly right. The political supremacy
(16:08):
of women, Yeah, that is a.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Half diverse, one third half female, one third.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Diverse, exactly right, just like that one of those two.
And if you want to, and I'm guessing nobody wants to,
but what the hell it's presidential election year, but he's
talking Civics. It's in our faces everywhere. Let's do it
two more. You could argue that professional sports has become
a plutocracy governed by the wealthy elite money plays. Chris Taylor,
(16:39):
you got this year at thirteen mil, next year at
thirteen mil, guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
When I look at Chris Taylor, I see an oligark.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
That's what I see. Thank god, it's a club option,
not a player option for twenty twenty six for twelve million.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
But Chris Taylor, many suggest, is going to be on
the roster because he's getting paid thirteen million bucks in
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
It makes him look bad if he's not.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Exactly Walker Bueller eight million dollars in salary this year,
he'll be gone next year. You're on the roster ki
k four mil, kir Meyer one point eighty five mili
cut zone. But those are the breaks. It is how
this here's one more. Technocracy is run government by technical experts, nerds, spreadsheets.
(17:28):
Pull this picture after five. Don't let hitters get a
look a third time around. Lean on the bullpen.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
There was a time, Matt that you were for the nerds.
Oh yeah, but you have become disillusioned with the nerdiness
and what they've done to the team.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
I think, like many things, a dash is just right.
But when we engorge ourselves on nerddom right, it's having
got sideways.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Another Greek saying everything in moderation exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Unfortunately, a baseball roster, the twenty six man roster, is
a zero sum situation. You add someone, you gotta remove
someone cannot bring up Chris Taylor, give him a looxie
post reab assess if he has managed to shake off
that one sixty seven average, the god awful five forty
two ohps. It's got to be the worst in baseball
(18:21):
in one hundred and eighty nine plate appearances. I cannot
imagine any other player being given that much opportunity with
that putrid of a number. And the problem is the
guys he might replace aren't that much better. Kyk Is
hitting two ten, Hayward two o eight, keer Meyer two
forty two. K Meyer's going to stay. The defense is
(18:42):
too good. Jason Hayward's making nine million bucks this year.
I know it's not thirteen mill this and next year,
but as he showed last night, he's clutch. Won the
game on the pinch hit three run jacks second of
the year at that Grand Slam out in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Don't forget about his speaking ability in the clubout.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Hey fifteen years not only delivered a World Series, but
he delivered it to the Chago Cuffs.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
He's the opposite of de Sean Foster.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Exactly the opposite talk. So we're really probably talking about
key K or Taylor one of those two, and to me,
bad news for KEYK. Tommy Edmund can replicate all the
utility that KEYK provides to play six positions and then
also replicated that positive energy to the Oscar lighthearted celebrations.
(19:31):
Everybody loves him guy, and that was something that KEYK
also offers and offered. But the other Hernandez is the
one that's hitting as well as anyone on the team.
So really, if you're committed to the platocracy and given
Taylor another try, and it certainly sounds like they are,
I would bet that zero sum game, unfortunately involves one
(19:54):
in one out, KEYK gonna be designated, and you bet
your ass he's going to be claimed, just like the
Brent Honeywell situation that was so stupid for a team
that has handed out billions of dollars with a B
billions of dollars in contracts to play this BS nickel
(20:15):
and dime game. Just sill dis How are you going
to hand out seven hundred million bucks to one guy
three hundred and twenty five million to another and then
come back and say, wow, we can't just get rid
of Chris Taylor. He's on the books for thirteen million
bucks next year. It's just crazy that money is sunk,
(20:35):
thirteen million bucks this year or next year, no matter what,
he is guaranteed that money and the old economics sunk
versus opportunity cost. You pay fifteen bucks for a movie
ticket halfway through the film, it's the worst thing you've
ever seen. Why are you still sitting in that chair?
Get up, get the hell out of there, because what
you are wasting is your opportunity cost. You've already spent
(20:58):
the fifteen bucks. You're not in it back, so why
not leave? Take your lady across the street, have a
nice you've always right a big dinner. A big proponent
of walking out of the film. Always don't waste your
time in the film because you've sunk the fifteen or
whatever a movie is. Now I have no idea twenty
bucks into seeing it leave halfway through. Make better use
(21:19):
of the time sunk cost at this point for Walker
Buehler is about a million dollars. You punt his ass
and it will cost you one million dollars a team
whose payroll is two hundred and fifty million bucks one
million dollars the opportunity cost that Walker Bueller is costing
you not starting Landing neck And it's three zero zero
(21:42):
ERA and five innings average per start instead of Buehler
six ERA and four innings per start. And the thing
like even beyond those, Just like base stats, the.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I'll go deeper into the stat.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
The eyeball, he just faced the lightest hitting team in baseball,
gave up seven hits in four innings and struck out
one hitter.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, get away from the staff.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
In four innings. He needed eighty two pitches. The opportunity
caused is not starting Jason Robleski. We love the Pollock.
His numbers might not be pretty, neither of the Pollocks. No,
they are squareheads.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
They're efficient, tough people.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
The one in one, four six eight ERA could cause pause.
But hey, eyeball, you watch Rableski pitch it's not close.
He's gone five in every start save the one he
got pulled in the fifth after throwing four and a
third shutout innings and watching Johann Ramirez light the whole
place on fire and ruin his shutout. It is the
opportunity cost of not giving your bullpen rest, of giving
(22:49):
them one more inning of work. There is zero chance
Bueller is getting into the sixth the way he is
pitching right now.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
So you're saying the Dodgers commitment to plutocracy money plays. Yeah, yes,
it's ps plutos or wealth in Greek kratos as in
strength or authority. That's your crissy there you go. H
you're saying that the Dodgers commitment to that is hurting
the team. Yeah, should be a meritocracy. They're doing something
(23:19):
that hurts the team. And then they come off and
it's nonchalant, and it's nonchalant.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
He is one and four with a six zero nine ERA,
and those are stressful innings on the bullpen. We hear
DV talk about this all the time, orl Hrscheizer. Well,
was it a stressful inning or not a stressful inning? Well,
I don't know. When you hand it to the bullpen
and you're down three to nothing, and you know you
got freaking five innings to go. There is zero margin
for error. Those are stressful innings. We got to try
(23:46):
to keep this thing at three to nothing so the
offense can mount a comeback. And what really kind of
ignited this top story was the quote from Dave Roberts
asked about why they're still sending Bueller out there, he
sided Tyler Glassnile's awi elbow and the kid gloves with
which they continue to treat Yoshi Yamamoto, and he said, quote,
(24:09):
quite honestly, we don't have another alternative right now. You
don't fire up the freaking oksee express get a kid
in here, or use an opener, and don't cut Brent
honey well and let him pitch four innings, and now
you added to the bullpen with four left. When I
see Bueller's name next to the Orioles on August twenty seventh, Kates,
(24:34):
when you see Walker Buehler's name on the schedule next
to the Orioles as the starter on August twenty seventh,
your initial feeling about that game is what it's give
me a bullpen game, and you chalk it up to
a loss, right, Yep, that'll be a loss. How do
you do that? How do you send that guy out there?
When you look at the schedule, you see Flarity tonight,
(24:54):
You're like, oh, feel good about that light hitting Mariners?
Flarity coming out, he'll give you six. I'm not crazy
about Bobby Miller. I wish you weren't being sent out there,
but yeah, maybe that speaks to Dave Roberts. We don't
have any other options. Kershaw figured it out. Remember we
were talking about you can't keep doing this with Kershaw,
can't keep sending him out there throwing three four innings.
And then he figured it out. Now he's best pitcher
(25:15):
on the team. The stone bone turned to stone again
his last time out. Buehler is not He has not.
There has been nothing that looks save Steven Nelson's proclamations.
The villa looks good. That is the high point of
Walker buehler season, with Steve pronouncing that the vello looks good.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Take it to the carnival, So start.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Landing neck, start rebleski, and I promise you the clubhouse
and especially the bullpen is going to feel a lot better.
On Tuesday, August twenty seventh. Seeing one of those two
names as the starter as opposed to Walker Buehler, there
is no chance Bueler makes the postseason Ross Briannie Brent
(26:01):
Honeywell would have.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
No chance, no chance, no chance.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
He says, stop the plutocracy, stop the technocracy, and deploy
the meritocracy. It could be the difference between a National
League West title and slipping into the wild card. You
want to hear a little bit from Walker Buller last night,
got a little testy towards the end of his post game.
I no right to be tested here he is last night.
Speaker 9 (26:26):
I'm so tired of saying that I feel closer, but
I kind of explained to people I felt like a
bad version of myself in twenty one, and I think
that's as that's as close as I felt the kind
of me of old as I have, you know, as
I felt this year. And yeah, it sucks, you know,
it's hard to say, like keep sticking with me, but
(26:47):
I feel a lot better about it, and obviously it's
nice not to lose every game that I start.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
They asked about his contract free agation, right, I don't
care about my contract, but I mean, I guess just
the fact that this could be.
Speaker 9 (26:59):
There's just not a lot to talk about it, man, Like, oh,
I have a six ra Like I'm trying to figure
out how to get people in the major leagues like
free agencies. For talking about when you have a two
five and you're rolling through the league, you know, I
really don't care. And to be honest with you, I've
played here in my whole career. I love playing here.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Thomas Fanson move won the World Series here. That's all
I give it.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Oh, yeah, you know what. It's good answer.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Yeah, not bad.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
I mean, you're rolling with a two five, and let's
talk free agency. Man, let's talk Josh Hater. I'm not
throwing more than too many you know. How about this though?
How about this though? I mean, in all honesty, Walker Buehler,
mister snooler snooler, Buler snooler.

Yeah, good answer.
Speaker 4 (28:10):

Speaker 9 (28:16):
Free agencies for talking about when you have a two
five and through the league close. I really don't care.
And to be honest with you, I've played here in
my whole career. I love playing here. We've won the
World Series here. That's all I give it.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
All right, take take that answer to the mound. Make
it work. Visualize the attack circle.

a stab at writing TV, and he submitted an episode
for The Bob Newhart Show season nineteen seventy six. It
was so good they hired him full time. Nineteen seventy seven,
he was producing The Tony Randall Show, and in seventy
eight he pitched CBS WKRP in Cincinnati success Emmys four seasons.
(30:48):
Ninety episodes kind of got hosed by CBS because they

directing it. They agreed, and the result was the first
(31:40):

Speaker 4 (02:07):
It's fun in effect, it's the Yeah We're three fun fact.
Tell me if you would trade any of ours for
any of theirs. I believe ours include the nacho cheese obviously,
the cool ranch. Okay, yes, I think they relaunched Taco
(02:27):
that's back in the old timey Dorito's bag tacos, and
I believe they have one other flavor that is escaping me,
but it's in a green bag. It's like a Picota
guy or something like that. In Japan, their most popular
dorito flavors something.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
You might see advertised on the Mexican channel.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Man exactly right, watching that they're in a Mexican channel,
this guy goes upside down and backwards, and I'm right,
very inspiring, and then they're crying. Japan's most popular dorito
flavors are part of the same species coconut curry where okay,
coconut curry, cheese and almond uzu, butter and soy sauce.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I guess I trade the butter and soy sauce for
the Mexican ones for.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
The Mexican channel, like sot sauce. But no, Matt, those
sound terrible. A different palette over there, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I suppose so usu is the same thing as Oi.
Geary Quick hits everybody.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Something ms quick hits.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah. The Dodgers are seventy five and fifty two. They're
home tonight versus the Man and Earras. Jack Flaherty is
on the mound. First pitch at seven to ten, Jack
Flaherty's not gonna hig five. You're not gonna hide five everybody,
and we're on forty forty one.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
He just puts his head down and goes right through.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It is enough, Thomas celebrated Aday. What this team needs
is an if you showing how Toani is one of
those nice guys, but he is on a forty forty track,
currently sitting on thirty nine home runs and thirty eight
stolen bases. After another stolen base last night.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Otani goes throw down and he is safe. Show hey,
Otani swipes his thirty eight face, just another step closer
to becoming the dodgers first ever.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Forty forty man.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Remember when Otani gets to forty home runs in forty
stolen bases, he'll be just the sixth player ever in
MLB history to accomplish that feat. Welcome back, my friends
to the Show that Never Ends's what them Never rides.
The Angels are fifty four and seventy two there in
Kansas City, about to get underway with the Royals a
big win. They've called up thirty eight year old right
(04:52):
hander Johnny Quato to make the start tonight. He's riding
his horse there right now last pitched in the big
leagues last year with the Marlons.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
He he was pitching tonight, Johnny Cquato need Johnny Cuato, Yeah,
I didn't know he was still pitching. He's not, but
we figured we'd give them a chance because you got suck.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
We do have a quote from Johnny Quato. I'm gonna
show him who the real horse is. Chargers play their
final preseason game on Saturday in Dallas. Matt will be there.
You can listen on ninety eight seven. He's gonna have
a fistfight Dodger Podre style in the booth with Daniel Jeremiah.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I don't care if you got the high ground. I'm
punching up. Give a damn.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
The Rams are going to Houston. Yes, they will host
a joint practice with the Texans tomorrow. They will square
off on Saturday morning in their final preseason game. And
what about flag football? Matt twenty times, he's got a
lot of wind in his jaws. This flag football.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Yeah. Darryl du Set he is the Team USA flag
football quarterback and TMZ caught up with him and he's
a little upset. Says that Patrick Mahomes. Current players have
not played flag football like he has, and flag football
is a different sport, so he's got a different skill set.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
At the end of the day, I feel like I'm
better than Patrick Mahomes because of my IQ of the game.
I know he's right now the best in the league.
I know he's more accurate. I know he has all
these intangibles, but when it comes to flag football, I
feel like I know more than him.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Okay, really sold it too.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I buy it. Well, he might be right. I mean,
Patrick Mahomes is not a flag football expert.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Sorry, Patrick, I know that looked like a touchdown because
you placed it right in the basket, but it is not.
This is not football and our rules are different. You're
not allowed to do that.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I don't know same reasoning as that not having and
Clark on the Team USA basketball because she doesn't have
any experience with Team USA basketball.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Tim USA did not go down. That was not where
they were going.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
No, they didn't go down, but nobody people would People
would have watched them go up. UCLA kicks off the
season at Hawaii August thirty. First. We love Deshan Foster
whenever he speaks, and today he said kicking and punting
duties are still undecided, but he is excited about his quarterback,
(07:33):
Ethan Garber's.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
Though Ethan Is is doing a great job. I just
you know, we keep him healthy. You know, there's only
some awards out there forming that.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Tends the year.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
You know what, that was so good? You could play
that again.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
What kind of awards are we talking about? Like going
to d D Reese.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
Ethan Is is doing a great job. I just you know,
we keep him healthy. You know, there's only some awards
out there forming that tends the year.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
The Davey O'Brien, I like a fat burger on Gamby,
But everybody awards.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
There are a lot of awards, to be honest.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
Better hope that you didn't say something I beat you
because it's gonna be bad.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
It's gonna be now see you say something he beat you,
It's gonna be bad. Garbage plays great rewards.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
You know there's gonna be some awards out there for
me that tends the year.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Okay, like the rewards program I get at the grocery
store while I get a buck off each gallon of gas.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
You just better hope that you didn't say something I
beat you.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Place it's gonna be bad. Right. That says it right there.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
You do with that.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
What's not changed is USC kicks off the season versus
LSU on Sunday, September first in Las Vegas. One team's ranked,
one team's not. Makes sense of that. We're both unranked
going into the offseason and now one team's ranked, one
team's not.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
It is what it is.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
You know, good we don't come on and playball. USC
and LSU are both ranked. H Pete Carroll got a
couple of radio interviews. Yesterday, went on with Softy at
Kjar in Seattle The Whole Pass and said he's in
the best shape of his life. He's going to teach
a class at USC this year, and today he went
(09:12):
on Serious XM radio and was asked if he wanted
to return to sidelines and coach the football again, which
nobody's offered him a job to do. So, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I'm doing great at what I'm doing right now and
having fun with it, and Glenn and I are having
a blast. We've done so much stuff that we haven't
had the chance to do it in the past. So
we'll see what happens. You know, I'm open. I could
coach tomorrow. I could jump into it and be coaching
tomorrow and not have any problem doing that. I'm not
desiring it right now at this time, and it's just
not that time to be thinking about it, and I
(09:43):
don't plan on it. I don't know. If something comes up,
we'll see, you know, we'll talk to people if there's
something to talk about.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
So it sounds like nobody has offered me a job.
Hence I'm not coaching. But if somebody were to offer
me a job, I would jump at that opportunity immediately,
regardless of what it was.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
That is how I deciphered it, Matt. But you and
I both speak fluent Pete Carroll, Jared. It's not easy
to speak fluent Pete Carrot. Oh misshead coach Lane Kiffin.
On Monday, one of Pete's old.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Proteges another foreign language, stepped up to.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
The podium in his press conference and had something to
say about a bottle of Coca Cola in front of
his face. Somebody drink coke.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
Wow, you guys had one hundred and thirty percent of
your sugar for the entire days in this one bottle,
sixty five grams of sugar.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
A long time yesterday.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
That was a thinly veiled shot at a certain somebody.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
The commodore Brian Kelly.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
So I do not appreciate my Coca colagnation of Coca Cola.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Now be disparaged in such a way. He stepped up
to the podium at the press conference and like bull Run,
had a bottle of a smart water, which is a
Coca Cola product.
Speaker 8 (11:03):
Just a shout out to our sponsor, Coke. You know,
smart water, great coke product, minerals, vitamins. It's just great
for you, so refreshing, healthy, and uh, Coke provides you
all the products that you need depending on what you like.
And uh I love smart water.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
You caught on way to sell it. Coach vitamins, you
idiot vitamins vitamins.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So you got your Sean Foster out here telling everybody
about geography, and out there Lane Kiffin and Brian Kelly
are finding about smart water, drink vimins.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
We just kick off already, idiots.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Week zero Saturday. I warned, I warned for years about
idolizing football coaches, and now Bean Carroll's teaching a class
at USC. The entire day is in this one bottle.
Thank you lane, Hey, snap your fingers and actually excited
and things will happen for you.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
All right. You guys know how to dismount from a
cruiser bike. Let me show you, Let me show you.
We'll be right back with your top story of the day.

Uh well, this week in Matt's Top Stories with Talking
Baseball or recently, I should say, we have lamented that
the Dodger pitchers stay in too long or don't stay
in long enough, and they used to stay in a
(13:33):
lot longer, and it was better when it lasted longer.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
I had to do his layout, That's all you had
to do.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
And we also discussed the popping of the Padre balloon
and how desirous some are of that. And we also
discussed the very sordid history of do you really want
to cruise through August and September or be in a
pennant race? What does it all mean? Historically? Very scattered
(14:07):
in confusing history, No one really knows what they want?
Is that accurate?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Accurate?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Today's top story of the day.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Today's top story the day builds on that theme peak.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Top story of it.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
There are two words that have found their way into
sports talk and are used regularly, and I would say
are abused regularly hawk tua. Beyond hawk tua, the two
words are narrative and meritocracy. Okay, a word that is
(14:44):
found its way into sports talk despite being perhaps a
bit high brow at first glance, because I guess sports
talkers don't want to say you got to earn it
or production plays or whatever else, over and over again.
So this big word has been put in to our
(15:07):
lexicon to help flex our dumbass sport. Yeah, meritocracy. It
is not a clean fit either. Chrisy is always applied
to government or a ruling class, not a sports team.
But for the sake of this conversation so I feel
(15:27):
smarter than I am, we will go to the meritocracy
route and doing a little digging around here, Pete. If
we were to attach a Chrisy to the Petros and
Money show, were it not a radio show but a
sovereign nation, I would say we are either and these
(15:47):
are all Greek words, so you may find them familiar.
We are either a cokistocracy, cockystocracy government by the word people,
or a guynachocracy all chicks exactly right. The political supremacy
(16:08):
of women, Yeah, that is a.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Half diverse, one third half female, one third.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Diverse, exactly right, just like that one of those two.
And if you want to, and I'm guessing nobody wants to,
but what the hell it's presidential election year, but he's
talking Civics. It's in our faces everywhere. Let's do it
two more. You could argue that professional sports has become
a plutocracy governed by the wealthy elite money plays. Chris Taylor,
(16:39):
you got this year at thirteen mil, next year at
thirteen mil, guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
When I look at Chris Taylor, I see an oligark.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
That's what I see. Thank god, it's a club option,
not a player option for twenty twenty six for twelve million.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
But Chris Taylor, many suggest, is going to be on
the roster because he's getting paid thirteen million bucks in
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
It makes him look bad if he's not.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Exactly Walker Bueller eight million dollars in salary this year,
he'll be gone next year. You're on the roster ki
k four mil, kir Meyer one point eighty five mili
cut zone. But those are the breaks. It is how
this here's one more. Technocracy is run government by technical experts, nerds, spreadsheets.
(17:28):
Pull this picture after five. Don't let hitters get a
look a third time around. Lean on the bullpen.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
There was a time, Matt that you were for the nerds.
Oh yeah, but you have become disillusioned with the nerdiness
and what they've done to the team.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
I think, like many things, a dash is just right.
But when we engorge ourselves on nerddom right, it's having
got sideways.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Another Greek saying everything in moderation exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Unfortunately, a baseball roster, the twenty six man roster, is
a zero sum situation. You add someone, you gotta remove
someone cannot bring up Chris Taylor, give him a looxie
post reab assess if he has managed to shake off
that one sixty seven average, the god awful five forty
two ohps. It's got to be the worst in baseball
(18:21):
in one hundred and eighty nine plate appearances. I cannot
imagine any other player being given that much opportunity with
that putrid of a number. And the problem is the
guys he might replace aren't that much better. Kyk Is
hitting two ten, Hayward two o eight, keer Meyer two
forty two. K Meyer's going to stay. The defense is
(18:42):
too good. Jason Hayward's making nine million bucks this year.
I know it's not thirteen mill this and next year,
but as he showed last night, he's clutch. Won the
game on the pinch hit three run jacks second of
the year at that Grand Slam out in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Don't forget about his speaking ability in the clubout.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Hey fifteen years not only delivered a World Series, but
he delivered it to the Chago Cuffs.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
He's the opposite of de Sean Foster.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Exactly the opposite talk. So we're really probably talking about
key K or Taylor one of those two, and to me,
bad news for KEYK. Tommy Edmund can replicate all the
utility that KEYK provides to play six positions and then
also replicated that positive energy to the Oscar lighthearted celebrations.
(19:31):
Everybody loves him guy, and that was something that KEYK
also offers and offered. But the other Hernandez is the
one that's hitting as well as anyone on the team.
So really, if you're committed to the platocracy and given
Taylor another try, and it certainly sounds like they are,
I would bet that zero sum game, unfortunately involves one
(19:54):
in one out, KEYK gonna be designated, and you bet
your ass he's going to be claimed, just like the
Brent Honeywell situation that was so stupid for a team
that has handed out billions of dollars with a B
billions of dollars in contracts to play this BS nickel
(20:15):
and dime game. Just sill dis How are you going
to hand out seven hundred million bucks to one guy
three hundred and twenty five million to another and then
come back and say, wow, we can't just get rid
of Chris Taylor. He's on the books for thirteen million
bucks next year. It's just crazy that money is sunk,
(20:35):
thirteen million bucks this year or next year, no matter what,
he is guaranteed that money and the old economics sunk
versus opportunity cost. You pay fifteen bucks for a movie
ticket halfway through the film, it's the worst thing you've
ever seen. Why are you still sitting in that chair?
Get up, get the hell out of there, because what
you are wasting is your opportunity cost. You've already spent
(20:58):
the fifteen bucks. You're not in it back, so why
not leave? Take your lady across the street, have a
nice you've always right a big dinner. A big proponent
of walking out of the film. Always don't waste your
time in the film because you've sunk the fifteen or
whatever a movie is. Now I have no idea twenty
bucks into seeing it leave halfway through. Make better use
(21:19):
of the time sunk cost at this point for Walker
Buehler is about a million dollars. You punt his ass
and it will cost you one million dollars a team
whose payroll is two hundred and fifty million bucks one
million dollars the opportunity cost that Walker Bueller is costing
you not starting Landing neck And it's three zero zero
(21:42):
ERA and five innings average per start instead of Buehler
six ERA and four innings per start. And the thing
like even beyond those, Just like base stats, the.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I'll go deeper into the stat.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
The eyeball, he just faced the lightest hitting team in baseball,
gave up seven hits in four innings and struck out
one hitter.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, get away from the staff.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
In four innings. He needed eighty two pitches. The opportunity
caused is not starting Jason Robleski. We love the Pollock.
His numbers might not be pretty, neither of the Pollocks. No,
they are squareheads.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
They're efficient, tough people.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
The one in one, four six eight ERA could cause pause.
But hey, eyeball, you watch Rableski pitch it's not close.
He's gone five in every start save the one he
got pulled in the fifth after throwing four and a
third shutout innings and watching Johann Ramirez light the whole
place on fire and ruin his shutout. It is the
opportunity cost of not giving your bullpen rest, of giving
(22:49):
them one more inning of work. There is zero chance
Bueller is getting into the sixth the way he is
pitching right now.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
So you're saying the Dodgers commitment to plutocracy money plays. Yeah, yes,
it's ps plutos or wealth in Greek kratos as in
strength or authority. That's your crissy there you go. H
you're saying that the Dodgers commitment to that is hurting
the team. Yeah, should be a meritocracy. They're doing something
(23:19):
that hurts the team. And then they come off and
it's nonchalant, and it's nonchalant.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
He is one and four with a six zero nine ERA,
and those are stressful innings on the bullpen. We hear
DV talk about this all the time, orl Hrscheizer. Well,
was it a stressful inning or not a stressful inning? Well,
I don't know. When you hand it to the bullpen
and you're down three to nothing, and you know you
got freaking five innings to go. There is zero margin
for error. Those are stressful innings. We got to try
(23:46):
to keep this thing at three to nothing so the
offense can mount a comeback. And what really kind of
ignited this top story was the quote from Dave Roberts
asked about why they're still sending Bueller out there, he
sided Tyler Glassnile's awi elbow and the kid gloves with
which they continue to treat Yoshi Yamamoto, and he said, quote,
(24:09):
quite honestly, we don't have another alternative right now. You
don't fire up the freaking oksee express get a kid
in here, or use an opener, and don't cut Brent
honey well and let him pitch four innings, and now
you added to the bullpen with four left. When I
see Bueller's name next to the Orioles on August twenty seventh, Kates,
(24:34):
when you see Walker Buehler's name on the schedule next
to the Orioles as the starter on August twenty seventh,
your initial feeling about that game is what it's give
me a bullpen game, and you chalk it up to
a loss, right, Yep, that'll be a loss. How do
you do that? How do you send that guy out there?
When you look at the schedule, you see Flarity tonight,
(24:54):
You're like, oh, feel good about that light hitting Mariners?
Flarity coming out, he'll give you six. I'm not crazy
about Bobby Miller. I wish you weren't being sent out there,
but yeah, maybe that speaks to Dave Roberts. We don't
have any other options. Kershaw figured it out. Remember we
were talking about you can't keep doing this with Kershaw,
can't keep sending him out there throwing three four innings.
And then he figured it out. Now he's best pitcher
(25:15):
on the team. The stone bone turned to stone again
his last time out. Buehler is not He has not.
There has been nothing that looks save Steven Nelson's proclamations.
The villa looks good. That is the high point of
Walker buehler season, with Steve pronouncing that the vello looks good.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Take it to the carnival, So start.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Landing neck, start rebleski, and I promise you the clubhouse
and especially the bullpen is going to feel a lot better.
On Tuesday, August twenty seventh. Seeing one of those two
names as the starter as opposed to Walker Buehler, there
is no chance Bueler makes the postseason Ross Briannie Brent
(26:01):
Honeywell would have.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
No chance, no chance, no chance.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
He says, stop the plutocracy, stop the technocracy, and deploy
the meritocracy. It could be the difference between a National
League West title and slipping into the wild card. You
want to hear a little bit from Walker Buller last night,
got a little testy towards the end of his post game.
I no right to be tested here he is last night.
Speaker 9 (26:26):
I'm so tired of saying that I feel closer, but
I kind of explained to people I felt like a
bad version of myself in twenty one, and I think
that's as that's as close as I felt the kind
of me of old as I have, you know, as
I felt this year. And yeah, it sucks, you know,
it's hard to say, like keep sticking with me, but
(26:47):
I feel a lot better about it, and obviously it's
nice not to lose every game that I start.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
They asked about his contract free agation, right, I don't
care about my contract, but I mean, I guess just
the fact that this could be.
Speaker 9 (26:59):
There's just not a lot to talk about it, man, Like, oh,
I have a six ra Like I'm trying to figure
out how to get people in the major leagues like
free agencies. For talking about when you have a two
five and you're rolling through the league, you know, I
really don't care. And to be honest with you, I've
played here in my whole career. I love playing here.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Thomas Fanson move won the World Series here. That's all
I give it.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Oh, yeah, you know what. It's good answer.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Yeah, not bad.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
I mean, you're rolling with a two five, and let's
talk free agency. Man, let's talk Josh Hater. I'm not
throwing more than too many you know. How about this though?
How about this though? I mean, in all honesty, Walker Buehler,
mister snooler snooler, Buler snooler.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Uh you you can take that to the carnival. You
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
It's without control, acknowledging your shortcomings. Great, appreciate it. Stop
going out there.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Oh he can't back you know, I think you know what.
I think that answer earned him another start. All right,
good answer.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Hey I got a two five.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah, good answer.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
You're rolling you got a two five, I got six light.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I think it earned him another start.
Speaker 9 (28:16):
Free agencies for talking about when you have a two
five and through the league close. I really don't care.
And to be honest with you, I've played here in
my whole career. I love playing here. We've won the
World Series here. That's all I give it.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
All right, take take that answer to the mound. Make
it work. Visualize the attack circle.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
August twenty seventh. You know what's coming.
Speaker 2 (28:37):

was so good they hired him full time. Nineteen seventy seven,
he was producing The Tony Randall Show, and in seventy
eight he pitched CBS WKRP in Cincinnati success Emmys four seasons.
