A big nanked sweet James Bergener, who we just talked to. Also,
we're gonna go all the way till six thirty when
the Clippers start. But right now it's time for the
top story of the day, to.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Story of.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Well, something we regularly talk about. I'd love to say
that we are your uniform show of record, but Phil
Heckin at UNI Watch has social media feed show.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
He couldn't Hey, he couldn't sit in the chair and
bang it out for four hours. We read about that
he couldn't ride the Angelino Waves for four hours on
the Blowtorch. You read about that guy's a pussy.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
He does good work though, our friend Phil Over at
Uni Watch and after winning the World Series, after a
monster off season where they brought in Blake Snell, Tanner,
Scott Kirby, Yats Americans where they re signed Theayo Hernandez
where they brought in High Song Kim I think Tao's

(02:59):
dr I believe High Song South Korea and of course
the Big Prize twenty three year old Vundkin Roki Sasaki
to add to their collection of Japanese superstars. Could we
be in store for another Dodger uniform?

Speaker 6 (03:16):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (03:17):
We covered the funfetti City Connects extensively. Yeah, and you
came around on them. I did.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
They were widely panned at introduction. I was alright with them.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Uh, you changed a lot of people's minds bad. I
feel like I did. You're a great trend center, you know,
I feel like I did.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Now.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
They do have way too much going on. I always
say it, the Devil wears Harbor Surf.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Too much going on on those City Connects. The hashtag ITFDB.
It's time for Dodger, you.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
Know, one. Every person on the table have their own
site with no compromise. I added the fun fetti. I
added the special D that looks like the special the
D in the l D for the uh the batting practice.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's funny because whoa when it is ridiculous When they
list what the City connect uniforms were, we mentioned the
hashtag it's time for doctor Baseball that stitched on the bottom.
The color specs resemble each of the colors seen throughout
Dodger Stadium and their multi colored, multi tiered seating arrangement.

(04:22):
The LA font that reads Los Angeles across the front
is the same font that is used at the Los
Angeles Coliseum where they first played the numbers.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
You know who someone else? My dad was on the
Colisseum commission.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
That's got the font from the numbers when they first
moved here to be the same font right there underneath
the left shoulder. It just kind of all added up
to more of a pot luck uniform than one with
a clear design.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
You're right, Matt, Why do I want to sit here
and eat chow maine and a seven layer dip? That's right,
You guys made this confusing for everybody.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
However, as she said, it did start to grow on
me a bit, and I almost wonder if it was
I think A the team was good, and B when
you compare it to the other alternates in Town Lake
show lame clippers, potato chip bag alternate, lame. Uh, they're fine.
But then you put them side by side with the

(05:19):
Angel City Connect, which were spectacular and even better than
their standard road or away.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Well, let's just say the Angel City Connect is better
than anything the Angels have to offer, not even close.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
I mean, it's it's the best thing they have going for,
is that sweet ass City Connect.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Not even Mike Trout.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
You know, well you got the Lodge, you know, see
that billboard there with the Angel logo, but it's not
even the cool Angel logo. The A on the City
Connect is better than the standard A that they use.
And I look, the Angel's uniform is not iconic. The
Dodgers' uniform is. The home whites are the best in
all of baseball. Some might push back and say the

(06:01):
Yankee home pin stripes fine, but they're one one A
and one B.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
Those are the two. So City Connect is gonna be.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Hard to overcome the fact that your standard uniform is
pretty much impossible to beat, so why bring it up?
Because our man Phil Heckin at Uni Watch reports today
breaking news that the MLB has now added what they
call four plus one for team uniforms. What does that mean?

Speaker 4 (06:30):
It means you can sell more stop to Japanese tourists.
We've let it happen. Bus them up right by that
stone thing that the Japanese game the Dodgers years ago,
that was hiding and collecting dust in the basement until
they signed on Tony. They didn't bring it out for
Kento my Ada. Look what we just found. It's right here.

(06:51):
Come take a bus. The tourist bust up to the
up to the What do you know, there's a store
right here, right next to this beautiful statue, and just
like they're rolling up to the Prana outlet in Cabazon.
Come on, lad and here's another four hundred dollars Tony
jersey for them to all buy mister cartoon T shirt.
Eighty bucks. Here we go.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
The MLB now has a four plus one for teen uniforms.
What does that mean? It means a club can have
up to four uniforms home road and up to two alternates.
They call that the Core four the Dodgers. If we
figure it's the same as last year, Core four would
be Home Whites, Road Grays, and there's two of those,

(07:31):
one that reads Dodgers, one that reads Los Angeles.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
And then I like the Los Angeles. The fun Fetti
would be their core four. I'm gonna have to bring
back the fun fetti this year, though right they don't
have to. Funfetti can be replaced. That was only a
one time thing.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
If they want to replace it with another City connect
pe they could have two new uniforms if they like.
And I miss this, I think they're gonna like the
idea of adding two new uniforms.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
I think they're charging people for fan Fest this year.
I think they did last year as well. It was
the first time they're going to make some money.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Man, two new uniforms could be in the future. I
missed this from over the weekend, but different team, same
city Chicago has done it again. If the socks white Sox,
Southsiders black with white pinstripes were the best of the

(08:26):
City Connects last year, the Cubbies wanted to get in
on that action with their City connect this year. B
I will show you the uniform. To get your impression.
This is the first one that is leaked.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
I'm sure that it will excite that Cub fan with
that big rack. Yes exactly, Bri. Let's see it, Cub fan, Bri.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Here is they say, I'll give you the backstory, because
you know they all have a backstory, like the.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
From the Dodgers is the d from the Big d They.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Are called Electric Blues, and they pay homage to Chicago
being the home and the birthplace of Electric Blues. So
there is a guitar pick shape on one shoulder that
says Chicago. It reads sweet Home Chicago on it. The
font hearkens back to original Cub uniforms from the early
nineteen hundreds.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Tell me they're wearing a Blues Brothers Fedora. I wish
they were.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
And the light blue is a shade that they used
until nineteen eighty one when they stopped using it. So
here is the Chicago's Electric Blue.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Does it say across the ass she caught the kadie
and left me and be able to ride. I wish
it did. But here they are.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Here is the new Chicago Cubs Electric Blues. Yeah, there
you go. There is the new uniform. The City Connects
for the Cubs. I like it pretty good, right, yep.
So it just leaked which man though, And there's the
Sweet Home Chicago again. Kind of a pot lock. Hey
the guitar Sweet Home Chicago. Oh, this was from night

(10:00):
eighteen o eight. The numbers are from nineteen forty four.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
The Dodger fun fetti leaked out in hopone. It was
OFFLF in Japan and it leaked here to the United States.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Why can't they keep it under wraps? They can't do it,
you know, just like they just like heaven Tor. They
put it up and it says Rylo Kylie and rylo'
Kylie hadn't even announced that they were getting back together again.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
People league things. I was thought Beach Life was gonna
get rylo' kyleie. That's where I was led to believe
you liked these guys too. No, not anymore. So they
got the band broke up.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Some ideas to kick a round pe for the Dodgers
that might match what the Southsiders, what the Electric Blues
have put together. Too much money to be made, as
you said, and you pretty much pointed out where a
majority of a lot of the new folks that might
be looking to buy something are coming from.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
Crazy rich Asians.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
So is someone who lived in the downtown area that
might have some mid some memories of the little Tokyo
Neighborho there.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
Little Tokyo China town forget it, jake right, which has
been relocated.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
How about a little Tokyo watchtower, a little logo on that.
I mean, do you really just lean way into it
and patronize this particular portion of your fan base and say, hey.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
San rio style Rio style? Yeah, like a character that's
a sushi roll with a face on it, right, put
that on the hand, put that on the half? Why not?
So good luck to the Dodgers is they might add
one you know what, kvevapon on the back? Do them both?
Do them both?

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Remember they did have the uh lost Dodgers there for
a while, but it was that horrible shade up the
blue pant and shirt.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
Moost Doyers and then you wrecked that even though they
copyright it exactly right.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
So that was that was the original city connect from
twenty twenty one.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
For the one they wore were the Yankees that ruined
that Dodger Yankee series exact stadium I think was terrible.
It was disgusting.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yes, you have a Yankees Dodgers Inner League game for
the first time at Dodger Stadium and you decide to
have both of them were terrible alternate uniforms instead of
their iconic road and away.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
Great.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Really glad we did that. Great call.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
I would just say, hey, whoever the Angels hired to
design theirs last year, just hire that person. I let
them do the sushi roll with a face on it
or something like that.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
You know, that's probably the high snd real.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Another little notepee as it relates to the Dodger's been
a big Roki Sasaki day and how the Dodgers come off.
We had him on Dave talked to Andrew Friedman about
potential tampering, some saying the Dodgers had a handshake deal
or that it was sketchy. Well, of course, something we
talked about before and now seems to be acknowledged. Blue
Jays offered to make this guy the face of Rogers'

(12:39):
mobile communications and do some sort of back door tens
of millions of dollars in endorsement deals. That seems a
little bit more shady than a potential handshake deal. When
this guy was back in high school to get out
of there by twenty three.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
But of all these.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Things that were discussed, the one that maybe makes the
least amount of sense is the I don't know if
this guy wants to be in the shadow of Shoheyo Tani.
This guy might want to chart his own course and
might want to be the star of his own team. Okay,
this is not basketball. It's not where Lebron gets to
have the last shot.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
I he pictures every six days. He's a picture. When
he's on the mound. It's Kevin Durant. Taking twenty five
shots does not affect him being in the spotlight.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
It's baseball. Yoshi Yamamoto was not an Otani's shadow in
Game five of the NLDS, an elimination game against the Padres.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
That's a good point.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
He dealt for six innings and he was a conquering hero,
as all the television sets in Japan were tuned into
that elimination Game five, just like they were Game two
of the World Series when he was on the mound.
As a starting pitcher. In baseball, you can't be in
the shadow because of Tani's not out there whispering. Is
here what he's supposed to throw and throw in half

(13:56):
the pitches for him. So yeah, this guy clearly he
didn't want didn't want to take it on you content
to just be in another piece. No, he pitches in
the playoffs or pitches every six days. I think he'll
probably have enough of the spotlight.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
The white hot spotlight.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
And maybe he'll just be the fifth starter. As that
that one Cubs girl Brie was like glass snow snow
TONI yellow modoak. Really, yeah, really, that's really gonna be
the rotation. The humble Rokie Sasaki saying, only if he

(14:33):
makes it out of camp with the big league team.
And he said he loved you heard it. Dave made
him say it, He forced him to say it, and
he said it, I love La. That's exactly how we
said it. Well, congratulations to everybody all involved.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
We'll be right back with James Worthy the centerpiece of
the show. Basketball wise, we're going all the way till
six thirty when we have our own pro basketball contest
Sees versus Seas Clipper South. It's no set tripping.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
They begin at noon and we will also be the
home of Super Bowl fifty nine. So you're looking for football,
you don't have to search and scour. Instead, you find
the home of the Nflam five seventy LA Sports on
Sunday if you're driving around time, and you'll have it
right there.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
All right, it is time to talk to one of
our favorite people, the Hall of Famer, a beloved character
in the city of Los Angeles and well beyond. His
Laker teams, his five on Spectrum Sports and at LA,
and his smooth, heartful delivery here on the show. They're

(15:43):
all essential items for us here in great sports Talk.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Johnny Cras Sports Talk.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
To discuss it all after the Lakers big victory and
a triple devil from Lebroner last night. He's the one
and only James Worthy of the Pettersen Money Show on
a five seventy l A sports scracking James, how are you?

Speaker 6 (16:03):
Hey, Hey, hey, hey, how are you guys? Great?

Speaker 4 (16:05):
We're doing all right? How's everything? And at home? How's
how's how's the family holding up? Everything going okay?

Speaker 6 (16:13):
Everything settled down, you know, seem to be under control
a little bit. Unfortunately, I'm hearing about another pop up
way out in Simmy Valley somewhere, but so so, I
think they're gonna get that one under control though hopefully quick.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
H James to the game, Let's not go last night yet,
let let's go to Sunday against the Clippers. And what
Lebron said, uh after that loss that you know, the
margin for error is so slim that everyone's got to
be pretty much on point for this team to win.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Does it feel like that to you?

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Because when you know, to me from the outside, I
see Lebron James and Anthony Davis, I feel like you
got a little bit of wheel room there.

Speaker 6 (16:52):
Yeah, I mean I think it's impossible. I mean, just
from my experience, it's impossible for everybody to be almost
perfect on point. That's not the strategy that I see.
I see a team that if they didn't give up
thirty point quarters to teams teams that have the Lakers

(17:16):
have had lack of effort in the fourth quarter, major turnovers.
I think they would have to take care of the
things that they need to take care of first before
they can get to any kind of you know, decision
on like everyone has to be perfect, No, everyone has.

(17:36):
They don't have to be perfect, they just have to
be better at what they do. And you know, they
they've shown us that they can do it. So I
don't understand why. Now you gotta almost be perfect. Now
you've got to play hard every night. You gotta, you know,
you gotta stop turning the ball over. You gotta pay
attention to the details, not give up, you know, big

(17:58):
thirty point quarters and turn the ballo. You know, just
play the game the way it's supposed to be played,
and you know, I think you'll come up with some
some some better you know, outcomes.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
I know, you know the record might not suggest it,
and you know the stats aren't gaudy, but that you know,
Dorian Finney Smith isn't a stat guy. He's kind of
a fill in the cracks sort of guy. And it
does seem like that this is a good move that
that they made. He gives them a little bit of everything,
whether it's perimeter defense, seems to hit the big three
when he's called upon to do that as a three

(18:31):
and D guy. Just kind of eyeball test. Like I said,
I know you'd like some more wins since he was
traded here, but just kind of your thoughts on how
he fits in versus you know, what you lose by
sending away D'Angelo Russell.

Speaker 6 (18:42):
I like the dog in and he's got some dog
in him too. That's what I like. You know, he's
a he's.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
A tough guy.

Speaker 6 (18:48):
D'Angelo Russell great offensive guy. You've seen what the d
did for us knocking down threes. But on the other
end is what we need it most, and Sanny Smith
brings both. He can knock down the three, as he
did in the Wizards game just after having a new
baby coming to the world. And defensively, he's the wing guy,

(19:12):
the six eight with spand it doesn't mind guarding Kwiet Leonard.
He doesn't mind guarding, you know, just about any opponent
that can score, whether he's a you know, two or
three or maybe sometimes one. So I like it. I
think he's starting to get comfortable, and I think we're

(19:32):
gonna see, you know a little bit what we had
in Vanderbilt. A better shooter, obviously, but I like, I
liked I like Phttis Smith a lot. And the one
thing I like about him he's tough and he brings
the pain. That's what we need. You know.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
It feels like for a long time people have been saying,
you just wait till Vanderbilt comes back, and everything's gonna change.
Once Vanderbilt comes back and it's almost like, you know,
it's it's been pumped up into something bigger than it
could because been hurt for so long. What do you
think he brings and do you think it's going to
really change things for the Lakers?

Speaker 6 (20:10):
Well, you know it it changes things if they change
with him. And he brings a lot of defenses, versatility, skills, deflection,
He's a disruptor. You know, Cam Reddish is similar, but
not quite on the Vanderbilt you know level. So yeah,
he'll he'll bring something that we need every night, and

(20:33):
that's a defender that can move around and pay different
people and you know, someone you can depend on every night.
We don't. We hadn't had that, you know, We've had
some mismatch problems where we hadn't been able to match
up properly. He brings that versatility, he's a you know,
he's a defensive menaceis like Michael Cooper. But I also

(20:54):
see a lot of the similar play in Finny. So
I've been hearing, you know about coming back, you know,
all Star break. I just don't know, there's no definite answer.
But if he does come back, and like I heard,
he's doing some full contact stuff, and that would be
amazing that we can get He and Finny on the

(21:15):
floor at the same time. Are just on the same
team that bring that type of toughness.

Speaker 4 (21:20):
You saw him last night. You know him well, James.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
The Lakers had to get right game after that four
game losing streak against the Wizards, but our old friend
Kyle Kuzma was out there. And it seems like every
single trade deadline the Lakers are tied to maybe bringing
him back. He's locked up in a pretty decent number
through twenty twenty seven. I know it makes it hard
because of the luxury tax stuff for the Lakers to
make trades, But does that one that makes Does that

(21:47):
one make sense to you? Can you see Kuzma being
a fit on this team because you know it's gonna
start coming up here in the next week and a half.

Speaker 6 (21:55):
Hey love Kuzma. I had him as a rookie. I
love the way he's propelled. I just don't think we
need it right now. He's got a twenty three million
dollar salary right now. We have that type of player already.
We got Ruie, we got you know, we got we

(22:15):
just got Vinnie Milton can shoot he's a three point shoot.
So we have a variety of guys at that level,
at that size and can do similar things. So right
now at twenty three million dollars and what we'd have
to do to get him, I just don't think it's
a good move for us.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Max Christy, speaking of having guys, you know, we kind
of saw JJ Reddick futs with the starting lineup over
the first don't know, fifteen twenty games, and it does
seem like, you know, now that it's it's settled with
Christy in there, that then maybe that was sort of
you know again speaking to Dorry Dory and Finny Smith,
like that sort of glue like it just sort of

(22:55):
fits when now we're I don't know whatever, we threw
probably ten twelve games of him starting. Just kind of
your thoughts on if this is the starting lineup, you
think we're gonna see you for the rest of the year.

Speaker 6 (23:05):
I like it. I like it, and I definitely like
the insertion of Max Christie. Tough guy to Michigan State
defensive problem, that's what he loves to do, and can
also score. You know, he can knock down a three
and get to the cup. But against opponents guards. We
need that. You know, he's not gonna stop anybody completely,

(23:28):
but he he slowed down job moren you know, he
slowed down Steph Curry. He's not afraid to stick his
nose in there. And when opponents know that it's gonna
be a long night, you know they're gonna have to
work a little bit harder. And so I love Max
Christie in that in the starting lineup is a defensive
guy and also a threat on the offensive end if

(23:51):
you don't pay attention.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
The Great James Worthy is our guest. Now, I mean,
I don't remember an exact moment, you know. I mean,
you got lost to the Michael Jordan team in the finals,
but when the dynasty was kind of over, you know,
everything must must end. Winter turns to spring, and it
feels like we've reached that moment for the Warriors where

(24:14):
their dynasty is over. Was there a moment that you
kind of realized that that showtime that the lights were dimming.
It's it's it's kind of sad, but it's also something
that's you know, if you're going to have a dynasty
and a certain point is going to.

Speaker 6 (24:27):
End, Hey man, I thought I was a really good
ballplayer until Magic Johnson retired, and when he retired, I
was like, damn, well he made everybody well yeah, I mean, look,
I think, you know, we thought we had a shot.
If we would have been just a little bit healthier
in ninety one, that would have been our last hurrah

(24:49):
with Magic and Sam Perkins and Bloody d Bogs and
Byron Scott. We had we know, we were okay, we
just weren't healthy. And I'm not saying we we would
have guaranteed, but I think when Magic retired, and you know,
after we lost to Chicago, things started to you know,
we got Dale Harris came in, we had Randy fun

(25:09):
we had Magic Johnson for sixteen games yet, right, And
so I remember they bought in Segne Sabais. And when
I when they bought in Segy Sababis, I was like, okay,
I can read between the lines. That means I'm going
to the bench pretty soon. And it sure did happen
in Nissar. So it was around ninety three ninety four,
and you know, then Nick Van Exell came in and

(25:32):
guys like that, Eddie Jones is still exciting but just
not getting to the playoffs, and you know, advancing until
Kobe and you know, of course Shaq came.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
In shifting to the amateur ranks. James, I think we're
going to talk to you before the first of the
two meetings between Duke and North Carolina. The tari Hill
struggle a little bit, lost back to back games in
the ACC. Duke, though undefeated in conference play.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
I got a Cooper Flag guy.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
That's that's what we want to know, James. Have you
seen Cooper Flag play yet? And what are you thinking
about the first meeting between these two teams? If Cooper
Flag is gonna be flying all over the place, dunking
on heads of North Carolina players.

Speaker 6 (26:13):
Yeah, he's been waiting ever since high school to do
it too. I mean he's finally arrived. Yeah. North Carolina
is not it this year. And I don't know what's
happening with coach with Coach Davis, and you know, I
know that we've you know, nil, you lose players and
things go crazy. But Flag is an amazing player. And

(26:36):
you know, the one thing you look forward to when
you go to Duke is you look forward to that
first Carolina game. It's all you've grown up watching. And
so you're now in that moment. So I'm sure if
he's calm and collect, you know, he's gonna be looking
for a big game. So, you know, I don't want
to spend too much time on the duchies. But who's

(26:57):
that kid? Who's that kid from Stanford? Man? The six
to ten kids from Stanford who went down and and
popped our asses down in lth Hill. I can't think
of his name right here, but you you'll know who
he is. He's pretty damn good about six ten shoot
the three pretty.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
Mobile, the French guy, Maxine Rain or the Maxine Reno.

Speaker 6 (27:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's Yeah, he's pretty good man. But yeah,
North Carolina is not We're not it this year. I've
already lost one hundred dollars to Robert Lorry and Alabama,
and you know, Stanford coming in and beating us at home.
It's it's it's got to change. It's not Carolina as
we know it. So but we're a big dude though. Yeah,

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Well, it was a different time and perhaps we think
of pirates today differently than pirates were happy would have
been three hundred and seventy first that long ago to
William Kidd, not Billy the Kid, but William Kid born
in Dundee, Scotland, Which makes this Scottish news.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
You know, are you saying they didn't just sit there
with a jug and chick the chicks around holding the
big long pieces of bread like they did at the
Pirates of the Caribbean Ride. A little different? All right,
let's get that Scottish news. Hi, yo, we balled by.

Speaker 7 (30:09):
Oh it's Coltish news.

Speaker 4 (30:10):
Your thumbs at the Wendy news.

Speaker 7 (30:12):
It's a Scoltish what's your wish?

Speaker 6 (30:15):
Hi?

Speaker 7 (30:15):
Do you haven't understand the word I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
Got yourself I owned.

Speaker 7 (30:18):
With the scoltish news.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
There we go. William Kidd. His pops died when he
was a wee lad, so he was raised by the
Church wow Common. When the English took over the territory
from the Dutch. He got on well with everyone he met,
despite his young age. He was a seaman's apprentice, connected
with a number of politicians, governors, the rich. Sixteen eighty nine,

(30:44):
he would capture his first ship. He got a reputation
as an ass kicker in the crown wanted some of that.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
They employed him as a pirate chaser. We'll take some
of that.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
The first task was authorized in a letter signed by
King William the Third himself authorizing William Kidd is a
privateer who got to keep everything he seized, but ten
percent of the loot would go to the crown. So
we got himself a new ship.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
That sounds like the crown is a sanctioning piracy. It's
a little bit right, kind of like a pyramid ski
almost like exactly like that.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
He got himself a new ship, the Adventure Gallery, that's
what he called it. Two hundred and eighty four tons
thirty four cannon, one hundred and fifty men and the
key oars dead in the water. Refers to the ships
that had nothing but sales. When our man William Kid
rolled up with them oars and all them canon dead
in the water.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
You know what you need when you got the oars,
you need a drum.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Sixteen ninety six. He wants the big treasure Cape of
Good Hope, Southern Africa, and that is where it got sideways.
Lost one third of his crew to coulera ship was
breaking apart. Rest of the crew starts deserting, hopping on
other ships. Mutiny was discussed. He starts freaking out, kills
a crewman for getting lippy and without a lot of

(32:03):
prospects available according to his privateering contract, he turned to piracy,
straight piracy. He rose the French colors on his ship.
He attacked a massive four hundred ton shipful of Satins, gold, silver,
and England would classify him as a pirate.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
The navy was sent.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
He set off from out of Gascar, ran into another pirate,
ordered his men to attack the pirate Robert Culliford. Instead,
They're like, eh, this guy Bobby seems to have his
s together a little bit more than you, billy, so
they deserted him. He was wanted as a pirate. Several
Englishmen searching for him his old peal. New York Governor

(32:45):
Bellamont double crossed him, promised him clemency, only to put
him in chains. When he showed up on shore imprisoned
solitary confinement, he was shipped to London to stand trial,
tried for murder, five counts of piracy, found guilty, sentence
to hang, public execution. Oh May seventeen. Oh when it
was a bad scene. P he's a big dude. First
time they tried to hang him at the gallows there, Oh,

(33:07):
rope broke still alive. Take this rope off, put this
one on, or walk in your back up? Oh yes,
yeah uh. Second time it worked. His body was gibbeted
over the Thames as a warning to future would be pis.
It just hung there and rotted for a little while.
It is believed that he had buried treasure two hundred
bars of gold, kind of on the border of Maine

(33:29):
New Brunswick, Newfoundland. Like up there, I want the goal.
They still look for it today.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
Give me the goal.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
The Bay of Fundy is also known as money Cove,
where they believe it is Barry.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
Let's go, Matt ex right.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
That merchant ship that we mentioned, the four hundred ton
one was just found shipwrecked off the Dominican Republic in
two thousand and seven. As a matter of fact, the
one that he had to haul ass back to the Caribbean.
In the cannons that were recovered on display at the
Indianapolis Children's Museum, Let's go, Let's go pirates, William Kidd,

(34:03):
not Billy the Kid, William.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
These cannon's ripped through a lot of young people's homes. Yes,
rape pillage, parting towns to the ground. Now, Matt today,
I very rarely do this. Nobody does. Nobody does this
very rarely but for Tim Kaits and some of other
private privateers who are Raider fans. Our live guy Birthday

(34:26):
of the Day is former Raider cornerback and should be
Pro Football Hall of Famer, the judge Lester Hayes. Born
in the city of Syrup, Matt just came back from
in nineteen fifty five. Lester Hayes played at A and
M beginning Ain seventy three, first as a d ND
linebacker and then safety safety. As a junior with the

(34:50):
Aggies second team All American. He was chosen in the
fifth round of the seventy seven draft by the Oakland Raiders,
immediately converted to cornerback coach John Matten. It was a
corner where he would perfect the art of the bump
and run coverage. Matt six feet two hundred pounds long,
arms uniquely strong and physical. He had a stance where

(35:13):
he would line up across from the receiver very distinct
crouched down with his arms extended to initiate contact with
the opposing player right off the line and using that strength.
How often did the guys get off the line against
Lester Hayes?

Speaker 6 (35:28):
Not much, not much.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
It was a very popular Nike campaign with the commercial
poster and a billboard in LA that featured Lester Hayes
and his crouch and it was titled.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
No Flies on the Silver and Black are Back.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
He became the first shutdown corner in NFL history. In
nineteen eighty, he led the NFL with thirteen interceptions It's
a big number. Became the AP defensive Player of the Year.
He would add five more in Oakland's three playoff games,
helping the Raiders to a Super Bowl victory over the
Eagles thirteen interceptions in a season e g L E

(36:03):
L E S Eagles. We love when local politicians get
involved in sports. Hey send her out here. We could
use a new mayor e g.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
E L.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
S R M L Eagles.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
He was known for using the sense banned substance of
stickham his rookie season was introduced to him by Fred
Belinnikov and took it to another level, slathering the substance
not only on his hands, but on his arms, helmet,
and uniform. Hayes once famously said, before being introduced to stickham,

(36:41):
he couldn't catch a cold in Antarctica. I too struggled
with catching the football, but never resorted to such cheating.
Super Glue plus aerosol equals I catch everything. The Lester
Hayes Rule, which banned the sticky fort substance in nineteen
eighty one, was released by the NFL.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
That didn't stop him, though.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
He had a great performance during the raiders second Super
Bowl appearance in the eighties against the Washington Redskins and
Joe Thaisman. The defending champion Washington Redskins boasted a fourteen
and two record, just like the Lions, had an offense
that led the NFL in scoring with a quarterback named
Joe Fiesman. In what would be known as Black Sunday,

(37:27):
Judge effectively shut down his half of the field Thievesman
barely threw the ball over there all day, thirty eight
to nine victory, one of the most dominant defensive performances
by any team in the history of the Super Bowl.
He played ten seasons before his foot ended his career.
Retired in eighty six with thirty nine career interceptions, eight

(37:48):
of them in thirteen career playoff games, two times Super
Bowl Champ, eighties All Decade Team Come On Senior Committee,
inspired by the Hall of Fame talk for Yesterday, put
Lester Hayes into the Hall of Fame's fair the first
true shut down corner Judge Lester Hayes are a live guy.

(38:08):
Birthday the day he's seventy. Now, Matt, I did Hartman
cut deep yesterday with the Hall of Fame talk? He did,
because I mean, why does eachiro have to be unanimous?
If Babe Ruth wasn't you know that was wringing through
my head all day. There's eleven guys in anymore.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
Come on, didn't get night votes.

Speaker 4 (38:29):
I don't even know, babe, Russel Hall of Fam? Are
you kidding me? Willie May? Thirteen people didn't vote for
me and the guy we talked about that we said
that was the guy who didn't vote for Eachiro. He
didn't even exist in the Hall of Fame committee. We
being on remote Twitter can grab your nuts.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Sure can this guy Mark Gooden with all his fake
Hall of Fame vote screen grabs?

Speaker 4 (38:49):
Yeah the hell? When I mentioned that to Kates this morning,
you know what, he flipped it to a lot of
Rizzo had it too.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
Don't blame me, Blame Rizzo. She's supposed to know Wrizzle.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
We'll be right back with quick hits and the final
hour fun fact. Thanks for listening, everybody. It's a we
just won't be defeated Wednesday,
