Come me use Petrosen Money five seventy LA Sports Live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio appic. Thank you to James Worthy.
David Vassa will join us in the very next segment.
Camelbeck Ranch is the place to be the hottest spot
on the LA Sporting landscape and Dave will break it
all down in the very next segment, just like James
broke down the hottest spot on the sporting landscape when

(01:13):
Luka Doncic made his debut Sunday Night Man that was sweet.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
James Worthy celebrated it. He said it was as big
as Luca's first night, was as big as Kobe's last night,
which is pretty remarkable if you remember being around at
that time, because that was a big deal. And we
still have a lot of people to talk to, Matt,

(01:38):
we still have a lot of dishes to wash, We
still got lots of coffee.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, we got two more guests, Dave in the next segment,
Eric Allen in a little over an hour. Finally in
his nineteenth season of eligibility. Nineteenth year of eligibility, I
should say, elective of the Hall of Fame, old friend
of the show, colleague of Tim Kates on the Raiders broadcast.
He will check in as well.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Man Tk's my guy. Huh nothing Uh. We had an
intense argument about amusement parks, which I feel makes us
seem puerile in nature and not not a grown up
sports show. Certainly not a show that should garner number
twelve in the Barrett Afternoon Drive Local Markets Sports media

(02:26):
poll that we most recently did so.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Pu le is compared to what we regularly do on
this show arguing about amusement parks. Somehow either think there
were a trout show in that, Matto.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
I think that is. But you know, speaking of that,
how about.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
You Ben hanging out with Mark Jones with the vocabulary builder.
Excuse me, Matt, you don't want that table to be turned.
You don't want me to start, Mark, because I will.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
I'll do it. Oh No, I'm pulling out I'm pulling
out my counter right now, Matt. It's gonna be like
one of those old pool halls with those straight across
the thing. There's another you know what. You don't want
that smoke?

Speaker 5 (03:20):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (03:21):
You know, speaking of people not acting their age. Uh,
I don't want to. I don't want it, but I
have to. It is time for the word of the day.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
The word of the day now.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Barstool Sports is a whole thing, and they've had a
great amount of success. They're involved in everything from charity
to pizza to politics. They have this thing, rough and
rowdy where people just stand there each other, unable to
really fight or know how to box. They just stand
there and swing and bonk each other so they don't

(03:55):
look stupid in front of their peers and look like
a coward. Hey, mister car Well, uh, it happened the
other night on Herman. Yeah, it happened the other night
there on Bourbon Street, matt where and usually a place
of celebration, of course, the tragedy recently before the Sugar Bowl,
but usually a place of celebration, as evidenced by Jameis

(04:18):
Winston's jaunt up and down the street like a cavalcade
of joy.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
I would agree with that.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yeah, do I get another point for cavalcade?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
No?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yes, like a good cavalcade.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Thank you market eight dude. Uh, but it was not
that For known drunkard and known rabble rouser Patrick Mahomes
Senior and John and John Rocker, Uh, they saw each
other in Bourbon Street. John Rocker said something as like

(04:53):
kind of a joke to Patrick Mahomes Senior. According to
John Rocker, who still looks pretty swollen and kind of
scary looking, is opposed to Mahome Senior, who looks like yeah, yeah.
The Mahome Senior looks like he's yeah, more like he's
seen better days. I guess they're gonna face off in
a boxing match, which of course is all sanctioned by

(05:17):
barstool and Dave Portnoy, who also, like Tim Kates a
lot of trouble with knots Berry.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Farm and also very stubby legs.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
I bet Tim Kates is like five inches taller than
this guy.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
I would I would agree with that.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
He shared the news today that the beef on Bourbon
Street will headline the Rough and Rowdy April nineteenth card,
which is held in the Great State of West Virginia,
because why not, that's where it should be. I guess
they hated each other since they're playing days according to Portnoy.

(05:56):
And you know, a lot of people don't like John
Rocker anyway anyway, but they signed, really, they signed the paperwork,
and uh, it's not going to be like Jake Paul
versus Mike Tyson, is what Portnoy has said. It doesn't.
I don't. I'm kind of worried for Mahome Senior. You know,
the guy is clearly dipped in liquor.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
He looked pretty good holding that cigarette when he was arguing, though,
I'll give him that.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Well, yeah, I mean he's probably drunk, not knowing like
if you got punched, his head was gonna fly off.
You know, you've seen that guy look real cool until
the second a guy like Rocker punches him and then
his face implodes.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, I could see that happening.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
Yeah right, I can also see Rocker missing and falling
like that big fat chicken, that one UFC meme. You know,
I don't know these people are older than us. Well,
Rocker's fifty and Mahomes Senior is fifty four. So Rocker
is younger, more swollen, less drunk, and.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
I'm not smoking like Mahomes seniors was, and probably.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
A lot angrier, right, a lot crazier. Yes, so this
is on but and popping. But Mahome Senior, you know,
prison jail term. You know, he's he's done time now, Yeah,
but he's probably got the he probably got uh pcped

(07:22):
up like a chicken though.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Could be but maybe you know, it's not like it's
a It's not like it's uh whatever, the Nevada, the
Las Vegas Boxing Commission. You know, it's not the WBC
or the WBA like it might be like a little
food check or a ship or something. You know that
he just brings into the ring with him and that's
perfectly legal and rough and rowdy. Weighted gloves, yeah, weighted gloves,

(07:45):
some mace. He had a metal rod, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Did you see Mahome Senior's tweet about John Rocker. Yeah yeah.
The responses though, are fantastic. What do you mean people
are making fun of him for being lanky?

Speaker 2 (08:01):
People are just going to be in a drunk some
Yeah exactly, yea for being a drunk. I mean calling
John Rocker and missed this society like excuse me?

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yeah, I mean Rocker might be a drunk, but you know,
at least he's figured out how to take the subway
with the foreigners.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Pass.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Well. Yeah, maybe he doesn't get a dui like my homes.
He's riding public transportation. All right, it's O for the
number of the day.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Here's my number, number of the day.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
This number of the day was crafted on the plane
flying back from Austin to Los Angeles, and yet in
an I.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
Hope it translates. Matt sometimes that thirty five thousand feet. Yeah,
great sports talk writing. You know, next thing you know,
you're trying to make fetch happen.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
And talk about serendipity. The number of the day is.

Speaker 6 (08:54):
The next thing you know, your man cow coming out
of right a boat and nobody's cherry comes. The number
the day is sixteen fifty. Yes, knots Berry Farm is
hiring hundreds of seasonal employees starting right now for sixteen
dollars and fifty cents an hour. Sixteen and older jobs

Speaker 2 (09:32):
I don't want anything to do with the wavepool, flesh
eating disease, rife with bacteria. Out on that dare you
food and beverage? No oh, come on, constant complaints about
the price of food and beverage. I don't want to
deal with that.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
Well, you also get a chance to work in the
most famous chicken restaurant.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Maybe now, if it's a chicken restaurant, I'm fine. But
if I'm just working at one of the one offs
you know that's serving Coca colas and stuff, I don't
want to deal with that security associate.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
You seem like a pretty finicky, sex.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Year old Matt security associate. I can get behind you,
give me a walkie talkie, some mace and a little
bit of power, and I'm freeing pretty good.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
Nonsense. The Columbian Guard at the nine eighteen ninety three
Chicago's World right there. People on on a campus like
that had such.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Power, always wanted to be a noon goon. To get
after that. Uh you know, line cutters, throwing them out,
fight out breaks, arguments at the carnival games.

Speaker 4 (10:28):

Speaker 2 (10:31):
What are you doing in the jump the line line?
You're not supposed to be here, sales associate for merch
and games. I don't think I want to do that.
Nobody plays those carnival games.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (10:43):
The ones right there around the corner from the accelerator,
right by the log ride.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
What are you gonna do while you eat your funnel cake?
Of course you're going to play those games.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Here we go pee. This just the job we want.
They are hiring ride operators.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Oh, you push the button on on Anamo Zuma's.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Revenge exactly right? You want you want to run the scream.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
I think Mona Zuma's Revenge Revamped is coming back this summer.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
I believe this year. You are exactly right. I believe
it got a year of it.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
You got to get Kate some lifts.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
We got to do the show from there, and we
got to be able to operate the Manazuma's Revenge. I
love the Silver Bullet. I don't want to operate it.
I like to see her a sin wider. I don't
want to operate it. You know, they got that weird
Merry Go rom that goes in the sky. I forgot
what it's called the Pacific Scrand. Now that's not that.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
It's called the Super Mexican A marigold of it, Lucion,
you're exactly right, Pee, that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
I want to run that. People puking all over the place,
and I think they still have that roller coaster.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
I think, Wait, you don't want to hear people complain
about food, but you want to clean up their puke.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
I just want to call it. I want to call maintenance, maintenance.
Somebody threw up again? Get your ass over here.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
We got the sixteen year old with a deep voice
and a deep sent of entitlement.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I mean ghost Rider would obviously be the pinnacle. You
can run ghost riders somehow.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
Yeah. It gets stuck a lot, though, and then there's
people staring at you like what is it going to
start again?

Speaker 2 (12:06):
And maybe the texto, so can help me out. I
don't know if they still have the roller coaster where
you're sitting on the horse saddle and it and it
buries itself into your poots.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Oh, the police scraper, the one where your legs dangle around.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
No, no, this is a different one. It's over by
ghost Town and it's just like it's like a kids
it's almost like a kid's roller coaster, got it, But
you sit on a saddle and.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
The silver bullet is the one where your legs.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Exactly right where your legs are dangling. So, yeah, there
you go. If you're looking for a gig, nazis hiring
seasonal employees, something we would certainly get behind and falls
right in line whether or not that's conversation a little
bit earlier. Despite seeing this on the KTLA website a
little bit earlier.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
Today, you know, people can go get a job. You know,
see what it's like to work for a living of
society that goes to Wrigley Field and boos poor Lee
Elia's team. You know, it's a playground for the csers
out here.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Stop sucking on the government's teet. Get your assid job.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Yeah, get off the grift man Pony Express. You can
do that at Knots, ride around on a horse and
deliver the mail.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Oh, that's not what it's called. The roller I thought
that maybe that was the name of the roller coaster,
the Pony.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
Express, is it.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
Yeah, that is the name.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
That's it. Do they still have it?

Speaker 4 (13:20):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Man, that thing will bust your balls up, like like it.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
Was exposed earlier. Matt, I'm a bit of a shut
in and haven't been anywhere in years.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Well, you know what will take you to pan for gold.
You'll feel great after that.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
I did that when I had to take my kid
to Sacramento last year.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
It's a good time.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
It really was. I learned about Sutter's mill. I learned
how we mistreated the Chinese. I went to the train
Museum like James Worthy did when he used to go
to the King's Games and play.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Oh, it's a good time, James.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
Did you like it in Sacramento? No? But I did
enjoy the train Museum all right.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Running This is the Song of the Day.

Speaker 7 (14:02):
Wednesday is a five piece indie rock band from North
Carolina performing today's song of the day called Quarry. Because
the Petros and Money Show is back on your AM
radio on a Wednesday afternoon, swinging the hammers and breaking
up three and a half hours in the quarry of
great sports talk while awaiting Clippers basketball. Who will welcome

(14:23):
the Memphis Grizz into it tonight? Where Adam Moslin is
waiting with your Clippers Countdown show at six thirty?

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Thank you, Ronny.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
Apparently the Pony Express breaks down all the time and
then you're just stuck there bending over.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Oh that's saddle digging into your balls.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
Oh yeah. John Rocker was on pros versus Joe's. I
know John Rocker a little bit. He mooned me once
while I was driving home in Carson.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
You give me the fruit basket.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Yeah, he gave you the whole back burner. He literally
stuck his ass out of a town car. Sounds about right.
He was a fun guy. I hope he kills Pat.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
And showed me his ass. I like that guy.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Hey, he was a fun loving guy. You know, you
can't always say I was driving home smoking a menthol
of John Rocker's full ass was in my face. Somebody
just reminded me of that on the TEXTOSO. You know
John Rocker, You're right, I do I know what his
back Burger's like? Man, say, mister Skin, what's your favorite
category here in mister skin dot com.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Will I'm gonna have to agree with the people that
perused the syke and say back Burger, back burger, he's
my favorite of all.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Hey, there's a back Burger compilation on mister Skin. Let's
get over there.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Sounds like a great idea.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
Thanks for listening. We're gonna talk to Dave Yes pock
Ass Dave is Knack.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Basketball to Night Basketball Friday Tonight, Clips grizz seven thirty,
six thirty pre Friday, UCLA trying to get the split
on their trip to Illinois and Indiana. They take on
the Hoosiers at five o'clock. Pregame at four thirty.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
It's time for David Vase Dogdays.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
With an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the
Vasse Report with David Vasse.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
David Vasse, our Dodger reporter on m five seventy LA Sports.
You can see him on Spectrum Sports Net. You can
see him there tonight talking about all these different developments.
You hear him all over the station. Of course, we
got all this Dodgers duck coming up. He's leaving for
Campbell Back Ranch this weekend, and you see him on
MLBtv as well at the Real Underscore DV. On Twitter,

(16:54):
It's David Vase, fresh off of lunch at Long Beach
with Doug Recryan, a great sport in the town and
one of our original og sports journalists from The Herald,
and Dave is headed a spectrum. How's it going, Dave,
It's going great.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
Petros, it was phenomenal for you to talk to Doug
on the phone just so I could prove to you
that he was still indeed alive on this mortal coil. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
I don't know if you need to say that, like
this could be the last time, Doug, I could know
you ever been dead the next time and Doug's like, yeah, guys,
it was a little awkward. But where were you, guys?
It seemed like you were having a good time.

Speaker 5 (17:34):
Oh, we were at a second in pch Wine. Mary
from Constellation Brands took care of us, and uh Bernie selmonson,
the Prince of Tabs, was also at our lunch. So
we had a good time on a rainy day on
Second and P and Long Beach.

Speaker 4 (17:49):
Uh Clayton Kershaw kind of a foregone conclusion, but we
haven't talked about it. Uh, he's coming back. When can
fans expect him to pitch? And and is he going
to start as is he gonna be part of the rotation?
How's this gonna work with this old dog?

Speaker 5 (18:04):
Well, Petros. When I was at the winter meetings in December,
Kershaw actually showed me his foot, his left foot, which
he had surgery onto repair right after the season. It
looked like a scene at a Nightmare before Christmas with
Jack Skellington. That's the way it looked, part of the
Disneyland reference. I know, it's not not what it reminded

(18:29):
me of. And I thought the greatest sign for the
Dodgers in Kershaw was the fact that he wasn't playing
catch with his left foot up on a folding chair.
He was actually playing catch in the outfield and landing
on that left foot and really pushing off on that
left foot like we didn't see last year. So that

(18:52):
to me was a great sign for the Dodgers that
Kershaw was able to really get leverage from that left
foot and be able to land on that right foot
without any issues. So where does that end up in
the regular season. I kind of feel like he's not
going to be on the opening day roster, but after

(19:14):
seeing what I saw on his first day, there's a
greater chance that he could pitch around Junish.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Okay, what about Otani pitch around Mayish. It's fun just
to watch him throw, Dave, when you see the Suhu
scrap book and the videos that are coming out of there,
it looks like he's ready to go right now. I
assume that's not the case, but kind of what do
you know about the timeline.

Speaker 5 (19:36):
Well, he's going to throw his first bullpen session tomorrow,
and you know, obviously, Dave Roberts said that Otani's going
to push the Dodgers as much as he can to
get back on the mound. Andrew Friedman told me at
Dodger Fest, don't expect to see o'tanni face hitters in camp,
so we'll see where that progresses. I don't see Otani

(19:59):
pitching before the end of May, either, and Dave Roberts
said as much. He's usually the most candidate as far
as that type of information, so May would be an
ideal and realistic timetable for Otani to pitch.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
David Vasse is our guest. The japan starters were announced today,
any any surprise their day, They're not running snow normally.

Speaker 5 (20:24):
Petros very informal. Dave Roberts on the MLB Network kickoff
show for Spring training with Matt Vatskershon, said the Dodgers
expectations as they open camp today officially is for Yamamoto
to start game one and Roki Sazaki to start game two,
which is phenomenal news that the Dodgers are going to

(20:46):
give Japan and everybody else what they want. The two
countrymen to be able to pitch in those games, and
the first game should be spectacular because I anticipate the
Cups throwing out fellow Japanese starter Shota Imanaga, who had
a great rookie season last year as well.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Does that mean you're more excited about going to Tokyo now, Dave?

Speaker 5 (21:09):
I was always more excited to go to Tokyo than
Soul Korea last year, and I feel like everybody else
feels the same way.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Well, all right, how about all the excitement about High
Song Kim out there at camel Back. I don't know
what he's doing, but it seems like there's a lot
of buzz about him. And you were the first on this. Dave,
you said this guy's it.

Speaker 5 (21:29):
I don't know if he's it, but I wouldn't say
he's the opening day's second baseman. I think there's a
lot to be proven in spring training on whether or
not he can make that transition. The velocity from opposing
pitchers is greater in Major League Baseball, even in spring
training than what he saw in the KBO. So I

(21:50):
think he still has to earn a spot, and he
could be optioned to the minor leagues. And that's why
signing Keith a Hernandez really gives the Dodgers coverage at
second base in case things don't go as planned with Kim,
because Tommy Edmond can fill in at second base he's
a gold Glover there, and Key k could play center

(22:12):
field if that's the case.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Dave, you know Aaron Boone a good Trojan, the Yankees manager.
Of course, seems like this story about the Dodgers talking
bad about Fat Joe or I don't know it has
legs with the New York media. Aaron Boone is still
talking about the Dodgers trash talking after winning the World Series.

Speaker 5 (22:35):
Yeah, and sorry, I don't subscribe to Mookie's podcast, But
I was there when he had the whole setup, and
I guess that's where the most trash talking happened. And
it came from guys that really didn't have an impact
on the World Series and Miguel Rojas and Chris Taylor.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
Miguel Rojas not playing on the World Series is what
won the Dodgers the World Series exactly.

Speaker 5 (22:59):
That's when they took off. And it seems like he's
trying to push himself more in the forefront than what
he probably should be doing. Joe Kelly probably shouldn't have
said what he said, considering he never pitched in the
World Series either. And that's why Aaron Boone doesn't seem
that upset because it was guys that had no impact

(23:20):
on the World Series. But you know, Aaron Boone should
probably not feel great about the way the Yankees lost
that World Series, considering every time during the World Series,
before every World Series game, you still had Dodger superstars
like Mookie Beds and Keith Kay and Freddie Freeman even
on one leg, doing their infield drills like they were

(23:43):
on Day one, while when it was the Yankees turn
to have the field, you never saw anybody come out
there to do any defensive work. And that was a
glaring weakness and difference in the World Series. And that
may be a reflection on an Aaron Boon because you know,
I know Aaron Boone has told people when he was

(24:03):
a broadcaster with ESPN that players win championships, but coaches
can lose championships. And that's a reflection on Aaron Boone
not having his guys out there.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
What about do you do you think it upsets the
Dodgers front office Dave Robert, you know, Dave or Andrew
Friedman or Brandon Gomes, Like, do you think they have
conversations with these guys about because I think Aaron boom
you mentioned it, Dave, Joe Kelly's not even on the team,
but you got more rojas who's on the team. I
think Chris Taylor was name checked saying something like their

(24:35):
defense's ass or I don't know if that was him
or who it was, but they down their legs. Yeah,
that's right, he said, they they peed down their legs. Like,
do you think they had conversations with these guys about hey, stop,
like you weren't even out there, for God's sakes, just
shut the hell up.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
No, I don't think so. I think really, in the
here and now, the Dodgers are more likely to have
a conversation with Miguel Rojas. Maybe the guy in that
clubhouse are telling Miguel Rojas stop talking about one hundred
and sixteen wins. That's not our goal.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
That's a bad one.

Speaker 5 (25:07):
I think that's in the here and now. If anybody's
going to say anything, it's about that. And Mookie Betts
actually set the tone yesterday when he spoke and he said,
don't even ask me about that. We haven't even played
one game, and don't even talk about back to back
championships because that's not something you can focus on to win.

(25:28):
So kudos to Mookie Betts who really came into his
own as a leader the second half of last year
and continues to really set the tone. Because what Mookie
Betts says, I hate to break this to all the
Miguel Rojas marching in chowder society out there means and
carries a lot more weight than what a backup infielder

(25:48):
has to say.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Okay, all right, Dave and Kenley Jansen signed with the Angels.
What an exciting day.

Speaker 5 (25:56):
We love you Dave would will still be your neighbor Petros.
He'll still be driving home after those Angel games. So
that's the reason why Kenley chose the Angels, and we'll get.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
More into that as the season develops. Dave, have a
great night on television, and thank you for all the
fabulous insight.

Speaker 5 (26:13):
Thank you guys and man, what a spectacular memorial service
for your former coach John Robinson. I had a lot
of people call me from there that attended.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
I was unaware of the service.

Speaker 5 (26:27):
Oh, I'm sorry, it's okay.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
I I hope you bought something for the wife at
Georgiana over there at the second in p Dave, you
know the interest for Donald's exactly.

Speaker 4 (26:42):
The interesting thing is, Matt, that my father in law
was really close with Jay Robbie probably was at the
memorial today. I just live in a bubble.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
You think maybe it's the email.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
What do you mean.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
You'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
People don't believe that's actually your email address?

Speaker 4 (27:10):
Why because it's hot mail? Hey, it works. I wish
the Daily Breeze would stop be bathing me. We'll be
back with the film Noir. I got a surprise for
Matt Chicagoland. Matt coming up mack.

Speaker 8 (28:08):
They'll be too sure. I'm a fit times supposed to
me that sort of reputation might be.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
Good business, is it again? Petros?

Speaker 4 (28:17):
Okay, Matt, this one's for you, for your backyard and
for the holiday. With Valentine's Day upon us this week
we celebrate first St. Valentine's Day. Massacre. Oh yeah, a
classic gangster film and, like many films that we enjoy

(28:39):
talking about, not a success when it was.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Released, wildly disappointing.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
Uh well, it was a loss, but still a movie
that is ranked among the greatest gangster films of all time. Still,
so it's not that Well, that's more New York style. Matt.
You know the Chicago style. Capone Man nineteen sixty seven

(29:09):
Saint Valentine's Day Massacre, directed and produced by Hollywood rebel
Roger Corman.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Oh, I didn't know that.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
Not shot in Matt's old backyard of Chicago, Illinois, but
the Fox lot on Pico and Motor. All the snow
is animated in Fate. But it is a very famous
gangster movie and pretty historically accurate, and very hard boiled
and violent. Not a lot of people to root for,

(29:37):
but it's got style. Bruce Dern has a bit part
as one of the victims of the massacre, Jack Nicholson.
A lot of people don't know is in this movie.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
I did not know that.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
But everybody else was a Fox contract actor. Corman wanted
and had agreed with Orson Wells to beat Capone, but
Fox worried that Orson would eat the whole movie and
take over the directing, which he would. Yeah, probably would
have been a lot better. So they ended up with

(30:10):
Jason Robards.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Oh, a young Jason Robarts.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
Yeah, he's pretty old, and.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
He's at this point kind.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
I mean, he's like our age. Jason Robarts plays Capone
and basically most of us know the Saint Valentine's Day massacre.
Actually people don't know because everybody's so stupid. Was al
Capone ordering the killing of a bunch of dudes. He
was trying to kill Bugs Moran, the Irish boss of

(30:37):
the North Side Gang, but Capone's guys just missed Moran
by minutes. Decades after the massacre, it is said that
some reported a bit of a shady surf type with
skinny legs, skulking around like a spaniel around the same area. Anyway,

(30:59):
the dang war in Chicago in the twenties was something
to behold, and no one was ever brought to trial
on the Saint Valentine's Day massacre, but everybody involved and
afterwards ended up violently dead in the coming years. The film,
like I said, not a huge success when it came out,

(31:20):
but it endures to this day, this year twenty twenty five,
ninety six years later, here's some al Capone. Here's some Robards.
As you would say, a young Jason Robarts, what.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
You'ar to this? Come up?

Speaker 4 (31:34):
Nineteen sixty seven, here's here's Robards. Is al Capone?

Speaker 8 (31:41):
You guys just get all the boat or something?

Speaker 4 (31:44):
All right?

Speaker 8 (31:45):
Am I the only guy around here knows what's going
on in is tigh. Now, let me give you some
real facts, not the kind of loving kisses we've been
getting from our good pal Jake.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Here.

Speaker 8 (32:00):
Nobody has to tell me we're making money out in
the stockyards or anyplace else on the south side or
the west side. But what about the north side, Jake,
I don't hear no nice fat figures on that, or
maybe you figure that in the town at Worth Holnando.

Speaker 9 (32:17):
We talked about this, l Yeah, we talked about it.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
You talked about it.

Speaker 8 (32:23):
Well, the trouble all forget about it now bucking Range
is showing off al that's what I think of your figures, Jake.
Now you've gotta get some of my fingers. Since Labor Day, bugs, morans, bombs,

(32:45):
push our pier out of twenty twenty eight joints South
Chicago Avenue alone, that don't sound like much to it,
Not twenty eight joints. What's twenty eight joints out of
twelve thousand peanuts?

Speaker 4 (32:54):
Right right?

Speaker 3 (32:56):
Hell, if you just listen to Charry right now, I'm doing.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
It talking, that's good stuff.

Speaker 4 (33:02):
Well, it felt a lot to me like the last
Summer Tour meeting we had, you know, I it felt
very similar.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Actually, yeah, that was an unfortunate meeting.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
More Torman somehow.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Take our pal Jack mcgerney.

Speaker 8 (33:21):
Oh, Jack's a nice fellow. Does it his toll? It
keeps his nose clean. I wish I had a couple
of hundred ligging.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
Take my friend here, Valentine, all right? Another movie Matt
More Saint Valentine's Day, Chicago Flavah, nineteen seventy five, also
produced by Roger Corman.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
I love Corman.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
Another Fox film, one of your favorites, Ben Gazzara. Oh, yeah,
bag aka Jackie Treehorn. I guess you might call him
a young shud, a young benaz Era. He heads up
a star studied clack cast, including Slice the Bone as

(34:10):
Frank Nitti and John Cassavetes in Caupon, another nineteen seventy
five movie about Al Capol and the Saint Valentine's Day masters.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Oh that's a young BEng Gazaar in that. Hey, if
I'm older than them when they were in the movie,
I consider them to be young in these roles.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
It's like when you see these guys in a movie
and they're young, It's like I think of like like.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Burgess Meridith like Robargs is like the old man in
in Uh Enemy of the State with Will Smith the.

Speaker 4 (34:50):
Career, Yeah, but he was born in the twenty Jesus
early twenties. Marty Cove is in this movie Matt Former
Petrosen Money Gas True Story as Peter Guzenberg. Corman did
not direct this one. A guy named Steve Carver did,
and he's no lightweight. He did Chuck Norris's an eye

(35:11):
for an.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Eye, Well if you got that on your resume.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
Not exactly a lightweight man like the previous one. This
one took some liberties on the history of Capone, like
not even acknowledging his wife and child. But I did
enjoy the movie because I just like watching Gazera freak out,
and he did freak out. I thought of a young
man Smith and a cabyat slinging the Tribune smoking a

(35:37):
short stogie in Chicago one hundred years ago.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
Oh yeah, no doubt that would have been my life.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
Still a very low voice. Extra extra read all about.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
It Tomorrow's news today. Right here.

Speaker 4 (35:51):
Here is Gazara swearing in Sliced Alone as Capone and
Nitty in an Italian mafia blood oath.

Speaker 9 (36:00):
You go to job and me tell Job you can't
afford that we played ball with the onliess. They give
you chance to be a big man in his business.
But for that I need you twice.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Your lovely.

Speaker 9 (36:13):
To you a lot of spread at least my life
in your hands. By Johnny, the ball and the soul
of my mother. I swear this, m Johnny, try but
in a sleep, d see something to mister Capon, Missatorial.

(36:35):
He's got a lot of friends. They think you hadn't
rubbed out and it wouldn't be so good. But they
wouldn't think it. Now they find me Wiice's boys to
the job. One phone call from a friend, no names,
just the address or Miss Toya was hold.

Speaker 4 (36:53):
Up And there you have it, Matt an homage from
a great sports talk radio show in southern California to
a ninety five year old murder of many men attains.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
The wall till what do we think of garages?

Speaker 4 (37:18):
Corpses stand up against the wall you're thinking about to
get fristed.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
And Tommy guns.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
Two dudes rolling with Tommy guns dressed like cops and
just open up and Buds Moran's not even there. And
capone syphilitic brain rotting away in his skull. There you go.
Pettersen money film the Wark.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Some say he suffered the worst fate.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
Syphilis coming out and there's plenty of naked chicks in
this too. That right, oh perfectly, And we'll be right
back with the top story of the day, and then
we'll talk to Eric Allen and celebrate the new Hall
of Famer our friend talk a little reader in Super Bowl,
and we'll do a textoso. We're going all the way
until say Kesburdi, we got clippers tonight. Stay with him.
