We could even say tonight it is Saint Patti's day.

hours of the morning, and pull an all nighter. Two am.
Speaker 4 (03:55):

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Uh two am tim kaits three am first pitch Yamamoto
Imonaga in Japan. Welcome to the twenty twenty five Major
League Baseball season. And where does the Great American Pastime
kick off? That's right, the Tokyo Dome? Is it ideal?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Not?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Really?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Do we get it? Of course, of course we do.
It is no longer the great American pastime in the
United States of America. The Shield has seized that as
our sporting spectacle of record. But do not mistake japan
sport of record. Baseball is baseball. The great Japanese pastime
(05:06):
is baseball.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Yeah, since the nineteenth century. I had to break that
news to Mark Thompson when I was on KFI the
other day. What it's the only time we get on
the John and Ken time slaughter? What really is if
John is out no chance? He never put us on.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, So what does Major League Baseball say?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Salute to you?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Japan.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Hey, here's to you.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
One hundred and twenty five million people in the country,
thirty seven million in the Greater Tokyo era Parria, Korea
gets a taste first, guys, We'll give you hey, little appo,
little appetizer. You want some apps Korea, You got it baby.
But here it is. Fourteen million people live in the city.
It is a monster. It is going to be a
(05:49):
spectacle that shuts that country down. And you're going to
be hearing about it all day tomorrow, except between the
hours of twelve and about four thirty ish, because that's
when you're going to want to hear the replay, because
we're gonna do that. It's gonna play at three am live,
and then we're gonna play it again in the middle
of the day to cover up the show that's over
there right now playing grab ass instead of doing great
(06:09):
sports talk like we are well delivering goodness.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Only we do great sports talk. But I'm sure they
could have something great sports. They could have some kind
of contribution now, I mean contributed to the cause, guys, right.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Just a little. You got boots on the ground, you're
experiencing everything. That's so many of the folks driving around
the southern California freeways, which were a disaster today.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
If this has been her, those guys aren't even pulling
the oars.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I mean, imagine the civic failure that is the five
Freeway is shut down to one lane on the freaking
five North in the middle of the work day, at
the start of rush hour, and you get to listen
to Rogan and Rodney Live from Japan, Live from Tokyo,
giving you play by play, blow by blow of all
(06:53):
the great things they're up to because of the access
that's been presented to them. They are men of means,
not saying there were anything. You know, Look, Jonas and
Ben were great, fantastic, it was a great listen. But
I want to be in the middle of this.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
I would be part of this. I want to be
part of the conversation.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Exactly right, And instead we can just hear about it
or see it on their social media feeds. Now Japan
is freaking Dodgers country. All the videos that show KEYK
running around and the hordes of screaming Japanese folk behind him.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
You think it would have been like that if Otani
was still on the Angels. You think they'd be chasing
Rengifo around town.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
No, it's an emphatic no. It is Dodgers country out there.
That what they did, guys, is they painted the whole
country blue. That is exactly what it is. I heard
the flag is going to change from the risin sun
that's red, it's gonna be a blue one moving forward.
That's how big the Dodgers are over there. And I
(07:53):
know the money stuff can be a little annoying, and
who really cares who owns the Dodgers or what they're
paid or who they paid and what they paid and
what it's worth. But this is what tell us exactly,
this is why nobody cares. What we're seeing out there,
is why everything that we're taking in is because the
most important part of your favorite team is the owner.
(08:17):
You just alluded to it. Look to the South, Arti Moreno.
We celebrated his arrival. Took the team from Disney, who
stepped in s when they won that two World Series.
Just an absolute miracle run that they never should have
been on in the first place. Other than that, a
disaster of an ownership group. Moreno comes in, he lowers
beer prices, he spends a little bit of scratch on
(08:39):
free agents and people are freaking out. Best owner in
freaking baseball beers are only six bucks. And then he
had his moment. All right, six years with Shoe Otani
and the baseball world barely knew we existed from a
(08:59):
market standpoint?
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Does he what's happened? Since it's crazy, you make you
wonder if Otani regrets re signing with the Angels. You
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, yes, exactly. Mike Trout for a decade, guys, we
got a guy here in spring training, and I know
it's gonna sound crazy, but he very well might be
the next Mickey Man.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I mean, he was very special.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
What are you gonna do with that? Moreno, for a decade, nothing,
a whole lot of nothing. Wasted two pots of gold
on this Saint Patrick's day because he sucks. Same for
the Dodgers and Frank McCourt.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Because he's sucked back in town, guns playing everybody. You
don't think that's the Western Bengal guy that don't hop
guns in the air? Do it a Dodger victory lap?
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Let me ask you, guys, collection with the same abilities
that other general manager's had, you don't think I could
have experienced ow success. I am signing second dear free
agents to short term deals because my owner.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Is a cheapskatee. My name would be in the lights
among the greats of all time.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
That's right, Ned, it would have been, but the Dodgers
were leveraged to the nines and branch Ricky until freaking
Frank McCourt could sell the TV rights. It's Bloni and
it was boloney, and that's the thing he needed to
make billions. He needed to cash in, but he ran
out of time, man, and thank goodness, he ran out
(10:35):
of time. Still made a couple billion dollars out of it.
But remember he took persona non grata Manny Ramirez, who
beat up an old man that was in control of
player tickets and got booted from the Red Sox. That
just so happened to be lightning in a bottle in
Manny Wood. He cashed in on a salad day's era
of the farm system. Ethier Camp, Martin, your favorite broxton,
(11:00):
the slim figure of a man. He was Kenley Jansen,
Kenley Jansen, Pete Kershaw Camp. Other than that, not a
single trade deadline acquisition. He let star players walk. Never
a serious I.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Was never a serious bidder for a single free agent.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Do you think I wanted to make those deals? They
were the only deals that they look to me.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Now, you got a group that was dragged through the
mud when we were sitting at a Phoenix restaurant, and
they ponied up two billion dollars. The other final bidters
not shabby. Steve Cohen, who has poured hundreds of millions
of dollars into the Mets but looks like he's a
little two hands on as an owner. Or Stan Kronke,
who's won a Super Bowl with the Rams, an NBA
(11:47):
title with the Nuggets, and multiple Stanley Cups with the Avalanche.
But none are nearly as deft as Mark Walter and
his Guggenheim group. And that's why they paid the premium
and outbid the other two groups so substantially. It was
an absolute slam dunk and a blind bid auction that
they would land what they believed could be the most
(12:10):
profitable property in all of sports. And for all of
his faults, on a day like today, the eve of
Dodger Baseball in Tokyo at three am, Dodger fans should
be singing the praises and be giving a salute to
Bud Selick for all eternity, as it was he who led.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
The charge, him and all the owners. You know, they
we got your back, buddy, They got the posse together
like Django unchained.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
That's right, in the face of lawsuits, in the face of.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Threats, they went and blew up his little cart.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
And I'll be honest to this day, I have no
idea how he pulled it off, but he said, no, Frank.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
You just don't often see an owner get pushed out
and has to be consensus among the other owners because
these billionaire types, we don't like you, Frank. Well, they
liked protect each other.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
You know.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
They all go through divorces and their wife leaves with
the with the bodyguard the manny.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, McCourt had a deal in hand. It was ready
to be signed. It just needed to be signed off
by Sea three billion dollars they say, two to three
billion dollars from Fox in upfront payment so he could
emerge from Chapter eleven bankruptcy still be the owner. Payoff, Jamie.
Not enough, Frank, that's not enough money.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
It was enough that Frank is still a player in
the business rot time. Everybody still hates him, but he's
still doing his thing.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
An upfront three hundred and fifty million dollar payment to
relieve him of his financial strain in a seventeen year
deal worth nobody knew exactly, but they say between two
and three billion dollars, in other words, half half at best,
the TV money and budget that Gugenheim got. They saw it,
they knew it, they sold it. And now, unlike the
(13:54):
rest of the league save the Mets, who just burned
cash because Cohen has it, the Dodgers are on a
different level and that is why they're sitting in Tokyo
right now. But seemingly everybody well.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, because ready to have kickoff. And they have those
three Japanese guys. There's that two, and the Cubs had
that one Japanese. The Dodgers delivering the MLB ratings they
once had when they were the great American pastime. Now
I remember, going back to ownership, Well, Tani's agent presented
Moreno the exact same deal he did the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
It's the deal they shopped to everybody. Moreno didn't even
look at it. No chance, no vision, no interest in
the deferred payments. So we could add talent to the
team while Otani was playing for the next decade, a
guy who makes over one hundred million dollars a year
in endorsements and doesn't need his seventy million dollars salary instead,
what did he do? He cleared the call, He sent
(14:46):
it straight to voicemail. Wasn't even interested the Dodgers. Where
do we sign seven hundred million dollars for ten years,
thirty million more than Aaron Judge got from the Yankees
the year before. Let's go. No brainer. Contingency is what.
We don't have to pay you now. We just give
you a million dollars now, and we have to promise
to sign the marquee free agents on the markets, making
(15:09):
us even more dominant. Oh and you're gonna help us
get the twenty five year old multi Japanese cy Young
winning superstar. Okay, yeah, that sounds like a really bad deal.
We're gonna walk away from this, and look at how
stupid it all looks now. Otani is a global icon,
the best player on the planet, just entering his prime.
There is no bigger draw for TV at the Gate
(15:29):
anywhere in America, anywhere on Earth. Is Lebron James bigger. No, No,
Patrick mahomes No, no, and by the way, Massy a
little bit more of a global game. You know them
there exactly, you got one there, got me there. It's
the deal of the century. They play one hundred and
sixty two times a year. Nix lewis no, no, okay,
(15:51):
but those hands are big.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, Well, come on, there's a lot of big guys. Man.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
They play one hundred and sixty two games a year.
You're going to get at least one in probably two
home playoff series for at least half of the ten
years he signed. Juan Soto immediately followed up Otani's deal
by signing for seven hundred and sixty five million dollars.
I don't care if it's five years longer. Who they
all cares about thirty eight to forty two year old
Wan Soto? Nobody. I just see that he got sixty
(16:16):
five million more guaranteed dollars for a guy that's a
hell of a baseball player, but a minuscule point zero
zero zero zero zero one percent of the attraction that
Sho ha Otani is. Once that deal was signed, everything
else was guaranteed to go to hell. With superstar players
because of the agents they can't let Sho hay do
(16:39):
to Aaron Judge what show Hayes deal did to Aaron Judge.
Trumpet by thirty million dollars a year. The agents don't
go for it, and the Dodgers always knew it so
clearly that they think about the punches and the guts
that they took for those back to back playoff exits
to Arizona and San Diego. They were very embarrassed, very embarrassed,
(16:59):
but they knew long term, lose the battle.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Win the war. I don't know if they do win
the war. So TONI was going to Toronto?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Is that that true?
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Look?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Tell me what guy thought?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
It was gonna have his njip And everybody knows that,
you know, I just checked my sources. Episode Lebron James
is making fifty two million dollars a year to play
half the games. Justin Herbert is making fifty one million
dollars a year to play seventeen games. Matthew Stafford fifty
million dollars to play seventeen games, Otani seventy million to
play one hundred and sixty two. It is the great
(17:37):
bargain in baseball. And this Dodgers have done everything possible
to supplement that marquee attraction, and that that is why
the eyes of the world will be awake at three
am Pacific to watch the kickoff. Well, you're right, I
see what I see the face you make watch the
first pitch they did. Their eyes will not be open.
Their ears will be open. They will be listening to
(17:59):
the sab Because I don't want to open my eyes.
I will just relax as the sounds of a M
five seventy LA sports serenade me.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Maybe open your eyes just a little.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
The Great Tim Neverett and Rick Monday delivering play by
play and analysis of the inaugural contest of the twenty
twenty five Yamamoto for cy Young, Otani for Unanimous MVP,
Roki Sasaki for Rookie of the Year. It's all beginning tonight,
and I can see it on your face. Pe Where

real meet all out of it. It's not made with modello.

(19:17):

I hope. I hope that everybody had it was a
delicious meal. I hope that everybody had a birthday meal.
Is having a great time. It seems like everybody's having
a great time.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Doesn't it though, Doesn't it seem like there's a lot
of access for a lot of people to a lot
of content that could be shared on the airwaves here
to really, I don't know, make for valuable real estate.
Like guess what, we're here. It is the waking hours
while we're here, and our radio show is scheduled to
be on the air.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Well, Look, I've tried to avoid bitterness. Envy, of course,
is the thief of happiness. We all know. Jealousy steals it. Jealousy,
it steals your your your self worth. We know this.
But matt ud do you because what you're saying here
does bring us into the next story. And you know
(21:18):
it was interesting and u uh you're you newly arrived
back in town from last week. So let's we'll call
it this a minor sports story, minor.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Sports stories or great sports talk.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Brock Powers No, although I love the pick, everybody hated
it at the time. Yeah, but I love it. I
love it. I love his white translated family.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Love the sister with the big as tattoo. When your
sister's got a whole sleeve and she's got to be
like twenty, it's like damn blasted out chest piece on
the sister. Brock. Wow. Yeah, do it again, Mappa.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
What minor sports story? Great sports talk?
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Left out?
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Left off?
Speaker 4 (22:08):
No left out? Uh, son of a bit. We're back
together today at least our show. Uh. And I gotta say,
as a there was a moment last week and it
was Friday. George Reister was here, Thank you, George. He
brought his lovely daughter Peyton, and George and I had
(22:30):
a great time talking college football in March. But of
course Tim Kates. Tim Kates was in another studio working
the Big Ten tournament, working his ass off. Really has
to hold it down. And there was a moment in
this one hour where we talked to Don McClain, our
(22:51):
BFF and Matt back to back. There was cell a
bra you can keep it going, because there really was
keep going, yeah from Frank and he's is that what
it's called? H clinking glasses come? I wouldn't know. I've
(23:14):
never been.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Uh oh, you're more than welcome to go to Indiana.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Well, you know, I'm just telling you how it seemed
in the moment, great camaraderie, great sports action in Indianapolis.
I got Colin Yee in the other room reacting to
everything I say, and I know it's fake. I got George,
I got Peyton Reister, and then okay, so that happens,
and Dawn and Madelieu, you know, we gonna get back
(23:40):
to the table. Bench waiting. I'm gonna get back to
the table. Don's waiting. I just ordered a nice flank
steak adpetising it's gonna be great.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
So I'm supposed to eat like the whole shrimp, or like,
what do I do? Do I just take a big
scoop of this.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Or Don's giving me the lowdown on all these guys. Man,
I know about the whole tournament. I can't wait to
get the information out tomorrow. And then in the four
o'clock hour, we called Dave in Japan. Now that's when
it really hit. Uh. Dave is in Japan with everybody
who's anybody in the sports media world in Los Angeles,
(24:14):
including Alicia de Vayer uh and Dave. Dave is in Japan.
And it's not like, you know, you have a hotel,
you trying to get some rest. No, Dave is in
the back of a limousine whisking around Tokyo with Blake
Trine and Tanner Scott in the back. And if I
have ever felt and I did not grow up cool,
(24:37):
which is a lot of why I hate the cool kids.
And you know, maybe to my detriment, but you know,
I don't want to hang out with acho, you know
what I'm saying. But I did not grow up cool.
So it was really no, I don't please God. No.
Like I felt, I'd never felt so much on on
(25:00):
a show that has my name on it. I wanted
to be a part of the conversation, you know, I
never felt so much an outsider. And they were all
gigly celebratory conversations. We'd be like, you know, hey, Dave,
you know what what what is the what is the
public reacting to out there? Know, hey, Blake, what do
(25:22):
you think the public's reacting to? Ha? Oh God, Japan,
It's gonna be so much better. The whole thing was
a joke to them, and everything in the world was
a joke that we weren't in on.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Isn't this great?
Speaker 4 (25:44):
And one of the listeners, i mean the listeners really
got the gist, and one of them likened it to
the scene and then and I'd barely ever do this
with The Big Lebowski because it's such a thing for everybody.
But a scene in The Big Lebowski where Maude Lebowski
and the video artist Knox Harrington are sitting there and
(26:05):
the dude is trying to talk to them, and they're
all giggling and laughing, and then they end up on
the phone speaking another language, laughing at him, and he's
just standing there holding up freaking white Russian and a
record in his hand and this is and it's and
he's like, who the F is this guy? What are
you doing? IM just trying to do an interview.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I know that.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
With this guy.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Who is he Knox Harrington the video artist? So Uli
has the money?
Speaker 6 (26:35):
Well, uh no, not exactly. This is a very complicated case.
Mod you know, a lot of there's a lot of outs,
a lot of what happened, a lot of strands to
keep in my mind stands head, a lot of strands, and.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
He doesn't have it.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
And who does this sundra about?
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Look I have to take this.
Speaker 6 (26:59):
Oh no, really it's and I've cruised anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Oh please, Jeffrey.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
I don't want to be responsible for any delayed after effects,
after effects.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
This is the point of the interview. And it's just said.
And then I look at Instagram and Rodney's got his
birthday at the nicest restaurant in Japan with magic.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
We are celebrating a birthday today, Cookie Holloween and run.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Rodney, Cookie and myself.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Had a delicious dinner from Master Chef, often recognized as
one of the ten greatest chefs in all the world,
and everybody's like, come on, He's like, here's the view
for my room. It's like she's in the middle of
the freaking greatest amusement park in the history of the world.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
I met that hotel, the Hilton that had the God
Lost in translation jazz Bar, and just having such a
good time. The game starts at three am.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Four hours of great sports talk on a Monday St.
Patrick's Day. That's what we got, not giggling that hard Dave.
Now that Mookie Bets has lost fifteen pounds of some
weird japan virus. They were very, very adamant that he
was sick prior to arriving in Japan. Okay, he had something.
Thought he was going to be fine. That's why we
(28:24):
put him on a plane with the rest of the team.
Even though he was sick. We figured he'd be fine. Yeah,
you're right, it did not come. How's the sound you doing.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
He's so hot. Maybe the game won't feel like a
joke that we aren't in on like the interviews do.
All right, I got another story for you, Mata. I'm
sure you're aware. It's hard to keep you unaware of anything.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Minor sports sports stories or great sports talk.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Grain's Falling, a new celebration of sweeping the nation, The
Cocaine Celebration.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Kim Kaine's story Big Grain's Falling.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Indeed, Matt after an RBI triple Mitch Voight Cocaine Mitch Voight,
Michigan's second basement celebrated by pretending to snort the chalk
line the third baseline, specifically as if it was a
huge line of cocaine.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
The street value of this third baseline do you have
any idea?
Speaker 4 (29:33):
They tackled the chalk guy with his little wheelbarrel thing
before the game. He never made it.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
It took it out of the bullpen.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Voight went on to have two more hits against USC
over the weekend. The Cocaine Celebration, or Selly as it
is called, Cocaine Mitch Voight is sweeping the nation now.
The second baseman is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Whitefish Bay High School,
home of the Blue Dukes, which also sounds like a
(29:59):
real okay high school. Yeah, I mean that Milwaukee Blue Dukes.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
That's cool.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
But if anybody's getting yacked Whitefish High, Uh, he really
geeked it out there, and I know you paid close
attention to the trojan baseball Matt. But it was forty
degrees out there in an arbor, and Voight was all
juiced up and just going to this line. I guess
nobody cared, like you can't do like a shotgun to
(30:23):
the face. Like remember when USC beat LSU in the
first game of the year. An LSU guy in a
receiver score touchdown and he went over, he went over
to a USC guy went come like he caught the
shotgun in his face, and that got that guy a
fifteen yard penalty. But I guess you didn't snort the
line in the face. I guess he snorted the line
(30:45):
in the face of the third baseman, kind of.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Kind of like, Hey, this whole line is mine. I
just said his triple and I'm gonna blow this line.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
You want to snort in the line, you're gonna have
to go out there to the left field because I
got the one out here. But we could not let
the show go into tomorrow without the third base cocaine
celebration talk. I mean, if anybody's going to talk about
big grains fallen, I mean, cocaine literally fuels Tim Kates
to do what he does on this show. That's why
they call him Cocaine Taines, and his cocaine lifestyle is
(31:16):
going to be very evident tonight. Tim Kates's house is
going to look like one of those white Art Deco
houses in Miami Vice tonight when he gets up and
just yacks that big fat breaking line and gets on
the radio and just starts screaming about Tokyo a joke.
We aren't in on.
Speaker 5 (31:36):

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Secret text us A fine brought to you by your
Sokel Toyota dealers.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
We make it easy. The faction of listeners that have
my phone number, that's who we're serving here. This is
about the very first segment of the show today, Matt.
It says, ah vintage PMS twenty three minutes of talking
about potential scheduling and airing of grievances. How I missed
the Well, I don't know where you were, sir, but
I thought that it was a very informational first segment.
(33:51):
And we have a lot to get to, Like there's
a lot going on this week. A lot of the
time it's an empty canvas, you know, Matt and I
can come on on a Monday and.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Talk about fire out of the gates, Laker basketball, let's go.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
You know, or we could talk about, you know, something
that happened in the La River or something, because nothing's happening.
But today there are masters to serve, MODELO Saint Patrick,
the Dodgers, the NCAA Tournament.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
It's interesting you mentioned that I was thinking about that
on the five Freeway, that big ass bridge that they
spent all those tens of millions of dollars on that
we drive by every.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
Day gets hit up graffiti about once every couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
And the idea is, oh, we're going to make this
pedestrian bridge and encourage people to bike and walk along
the La River.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Here it's also for early man to walk across the
La like the Bearing Straight, it's for early man to
walk across the La River.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
And instead it is shock full of swift water, very dangerous,
chock full of hobos, trash, drug addicts, trash.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
God knows. There's no copper. If they put any in there,
it's gone on.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
All the wiring gone, there's no lights, copper, wiring's been pulled. Yeah,
it's hell of an investment. I encourage people to enjoy
the outdoors here the greater LA area, and instead it's
now we're just gonna let these folks set up shop,
barbecue crap on the street or the path. And that's
why there's nobody walking nor biking really, and this bridge
(35:12):
is just rusted out and covered in graffiti.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
That Karen Bass doing a great job. Bangum job. Does
it reset after Casey says yes and comes on? Or
is it like a felon with one strike? The three
strikes for Casey J. Gibson. If Casey says yes and
comes on, we're good. It resets. It's like a new
game of Street Fighter. It resets. So. But but if
(35:36):
he says no two more times this tournament, I'm not
saying he's gonna be in the Joel.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Clatt realm right. I think you right? You say once
you're not coming on, and then immediately come on the
next time you're asked. You're fine, You're off probation, you have,
You've responded to the petros and money showing kind so
we're good.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
Bold prediction.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
We love predictions here.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Four teams will be in the final four.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
How many times you're gonna pass them ball before shoot it?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Four?
Speaker 4 (36:04):
Hi pe, I hope you enjoyed your well earned smoko
on Friday. Yes, that's right. We were not stop looking
for a podcast on Friday. We never got on. We
did a four hour show on Thursday with George. We
never got on on Friday because of Ucla, and that
was just that Ucla and the Clippers edged out the show.
(36:25):
There was a very cocaine Kate's style Ucla brewing talk,
a lot of angry people and then that was it.
It just rolled right into fully functional employee Adam, A
lot of angry listeners without a podcast, and a lot
of stuff like that. But Hi, p, I hope you
enjoyed the smoke on Friday? Can I file a listener
self report? One day last week, those high winds in
(36:46):
southern California blew me right out of my backyard blounce chair.
I guess I owed Leslie, Kates and Ronnie a big apology.
We are we are your middle aged person own out
of bed or a chair by some natural disaster show
of record, as Ronnie was literally self described shaken shaken
(37:10):
out of bed like a Martini out of bed because
of earth. And there was another earthquake over the weekend
that was three to nine in Malibu, and they got
a lot of media coverage, and Kate's was boiling over
with anger over the lack of media coverage typ his
earthquake in Burbank that nobody and I'm telling you nobody
(37:32):
cared about at all.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
That's that's not cool.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
And quickly, Matt, a lot of corrections and retractions.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
We make it easy, Jim Kate's Irish car bomb is
the Irish whiskey, which could be Jamison or bush Mills
depending on your religion, the Guinness and the Bailey's Irish
cream to make it extra gross.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Now I'm like, oh, that sounds that sounds delicious. He
put the Bailey's in that mix. That is a real treat.

Imonaga in Japan. Welcome to the twenty twenty five Major
League Baseball season. And where does the Great American Pastime
kick off? That's right, the Tokyo Dome? Is it ideal?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Not?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Really?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Do we get it? Of course, of course we do.
It is no longer the great American pastime in the
United States of America. The Shield has seized that as
our sporting spectacle of record. But do not mistake japan
sport of record. Baseball is baseball. The great Japanese pastime
(05:06):
is baseball.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Yeah, since the nineteenth century. I had to break that
news to Mark Thompson when I was on KFI the
other day. What it's the only time we get on
the John and Ken time slaughter? What really is if
John is out no chance? He never put us on.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, So what does Major League Baseball say?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Salute to you?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Japan.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Hey, here's to you.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
One hundred and twenty five million people in the country,
thirty seven million in the Greater Tokyo era Parria, Korea
gets a taste first, guys, We'll give you hey, little appo,
little appetizer. You want some apps Korea, You got it baby.
But here it is. Fourteen million people live in the city.
It is a monster. It is going to be a
(05:49):
spectacle that shuts that country down. And you're going to
be hearing about it all day tomorrow, except between the
hours of twelve and about four thirty ish, because that's
when you're going to want to hear the replay, because
we're gonna do that. It's gonna play at three am live,
and then we're gonna play it again in the middle
of the day to cover up the show that's over
there right now playing grab ass instead of doing great
(06:09):
sports talk like we are well delivering goodness.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Only we do great sports talk. But I'm sure they
could have something great sports. They could have some kind
of contribution now, I mean contributed to the cause, guys, right.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Just a little. You got boots on the ground, you're
experiencing everything. That's so many of the folks driving around
the southern California freeways, which were a disaster today.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
If this has been her, those guys aren't even pulling
the oars.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I mean, imagine the civic failure that is the five
Freeway is shut down to one lane on the freaking
five North in the middle of the work day, at
the start of rush hour, and you get to listen
to Rogan and Rodney Live from Japan, Live from Tokyo,
giving you play by play, blow by blow of all
(06:53):
the great things they're up to because of the access
that's been presented to them. They are men of means,
not saying there were anything. You know, Look, Jonas and
Ben were great, fantastic, it was a great listen. But
I want to be in the middle of this.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
I would be part of this. I want to be
part of the conversation.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Exactly right, And instead we can just hear about it
or see it on their social media feeds. Now Japan
is freaking Dodgers country. All the videos that show KEYK
running around and the hordes of screaming Japanese folk behind him.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
You think it would have been like that if Otani
was still on the Angels. You think they'd be chasing
Rengifo around town.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
No, it's an emphatic no. It is Dodgers country out there.
That what they did, guys, is they painted the whole
country blue. That is exactly what it is. I heard
the flag is going to change from the risin sun
that's red, it's gonna be a blue one moving forward.
That's how big the Dodgers are over there. And I
(07:53):
know the money stuff can be a little annoying, and
who really cares who owns the Dodgers or what they're
paid or who they paid and what they paid and
what it's worth. But this is what tell us exactly,
this is why nobody cares. What we're seeing out there,
is why everything that we're taking in is because the
most important part of your favorite team is the owner.
(08:17):
You just alluded to it. Look to the South, Arti Moreno.
We celebrated his arrival. Took the team from Disney, who
stepped in s when they won that two World Series.
Just an absolute miracle run that they never should have
been on in the first place. Other than that, a
disaster of an ownership group. Moreno comes in, he lowers
beer prices, he spends a little bit of scratch on
(08:39):
free agents and people are freaking out. Best owner in
freaking baseball beers are only six bucks. And then he
had his moment. All right, six years with Shoe Otani
and the baseball world barely knew we existed from a
(08:59):
market standpoint?
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Does he what's happened? Since it's crazy, you make you
wonder if Otani regrets re signing with the Angels. You
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, yes, exactly. Mike Trout for a decade, guys, we
got a guy here in spring training, and I know
it's gonna sound crazy, but he very well might be
the next Mickey Man.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I mean, he was very special.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
What are you gonna do with that? Moreno, for a decade, nothing,
a whole lot of nothing. Wasted two pots of gold
on this Saint Patrick's day because he sucks. Same for
the Dodgers and Frank McCourt.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Because he's sucked back in town, guns playing everybody. You
don't think that's the Western Bengal guy that don't hop
guns in the air? Do it a Dodger victory lap?
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Let me ask you, guys, collection with the same abilities
that other general manager's had, you don't think I could
have experienced ow success. I am signing second dear free
agents to short term deals because my owner.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Is a cheapskatee. My name would be in the lights
among the greats of all time.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
That's right, Ned, it would have been, but the Dodgers
were leveraged to the nines and branch Ricky until freaking
Frank McCourt could sell the TV rights. It's Bloni and
it was boloney, and that's the thing he needed to
make billions. He needed to cash in, but he ran
out of time, man, and thank goodness, he ran out
(10:35):
of time. Still made a couple billion dollars out of it.
But remember he took persona non grata Manny Ramirez, who
beat up an old man that was in control of
player tickets and got booted from the Red Sox. That
just so happened to be lightning in a bottle in
Manny Wood. He cashed in on a salad day's era
of the farm system. Ethier Camp, Martin, your favorite broxton,
(11:00):
the slim figure of a man. He was Kenley Jansen,
Kenley Jansen, Pete Kershaw Camp. Other than that, not a
single trade deadline acquisition. He let star players walk. Never
a serious I.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Was never a serious bidder for a single free agent.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Do you think I wanted to make those deals? They
were the only deals that they look to me.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Now, you got a group that was dragged through the
mud when we were sitting at a Phoenix restaurant, and
they ponied up two billion dollars. The other final bidters
not shabby. Steve Cohen, who has poured hundreds of millions
of dollars into the Mets but looks like he's a
little two hands on as an owner. Or Stan Kronke,
who's won a Super Bowl with the Rams, an NBA
(11:47):
title with the Nuggets, and multiple Stanley Cups with the Avalanche.
But none are nearly as deft as Mark Walter and
his Guggenheim group. And that's why they paid the premium
and outbid the other two groups so substantially. It was
an absolute slam dunk and a blind bid auction that
they would land what they believed could be the most
(12:10):
profitable property in all of sports. And for all of
his faults, on a day like today, the eve of
Dodger Baseball in Tokyo at three am, Dodger fans should
be singing the praises and be giving a salute to
Bud Selick for all eternity, as it was he who led.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
The charge, him and all the owners. You know, they
we got your back, buddy, They got the posse together
like Django unchained.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
That's right, in the face of lawsuits, in the face of.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Threats, they went and blew up his little cart.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
And I'll be honest to this day, I have no
idea how he pulled it off, but he said, no, Frank.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
You just don't often see an owner get pushed out
and has to be consensus among the other owners because
these billionaire types, we don't like you, Frank. Well, they
liked protect each other.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
You know.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
They all go through divorces and their wife leaves with
the with the bodyguard the manny.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, McCourt had a deal in hand. It was ready
to be signed. It just needed to be signed off
by Sea three billion dollars they say, two to three
billion dollars from Fox in upfront payment so he could
emerge from Chapter eleven bankruptcy still be the owner. Payoff, Jamie.
Not enough, Frank, that's not enough money.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
It was enough that Frank is still a player in
the business rot time. Everybody still hates him, but he's
still doing his thing.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
An upfront three hundred and fifty million dollar payment to
relieve him of his financial strain in a seventeen year
deal worth nobody knew exactly, but they say between two
and three billion dollars, in other words, half half at best,
the TV money and budget that Gugenheim got. They saw it,
they knew it, they sold it. And now, unlike the
(13:54):
rest of the league save the Mets, who just burned
cash because Cohen has it, the Dodgers are on a
different level and that is why they're sitting in Tokyo
right now. But seemingly everybody well.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, because ready to have kickoff. And they have those
three Japanese guys. There's that two, and the Cubs had
that one Japanese. The Dodgers delivering the MLB ratings they
once had when they were the great American pastime. Now
I remember, going back to ownership, Well, Tani's agent presented
Moreno the exact same deal he did the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
It's the deal they shopped to everybody. Moreno didn't even
look at it. No chance, no vision, no interest in
the deferred payments. So we could add talent to the
team while Otani was playing for the next decade, a
guy who makes over one hundred million dollars a year
in endorsements and doesn't need his seventy million dollars salary instead,
what did he do? He cleared the call, He sent
(14:46):
it straight to voicemail. Wasn't even interested the Dodgers. Where
do we sign seven hundred million dollars for ten years,
thirty million more than Aaron Judge got from the Yankees
the year before. Let's go. No brainer. Contingency is what.
We don't have to pay you now. We just give
you a million dollars now, and we have to promise
to sign the marquee free agents on the markets, making
(15:09):
us even more dominant. Oh and you're gonna help us
get the twenty five year old multi Japanese cy Young
winning superstar. Okay, yeah, that sounds like a really bad deal.
We're gonna walk away from this, and look at how
stupid it all looks now. Otani is a global icon,
the best player on the planet, just entering his prime.
There is no bigger draw for TV at the Gate
(15:29):
anywhere in America, anywhere on Earth. Is Lebron James bigger. No, No,
Patrick mahomes No, no, and by the way, Massy a
little bit more of a global game. You know them
there exactly, you got one there, got me there. It's
the deal of the century. They play one hundred and
sixty two times a year. Nix lewis no, no, okay,
(15:51):
but those hands are big.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, Well, come on, there's a lot of big guys. Man.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
They play one hundred and sixty two games a year.
You're going to get at least one in probably two
home playoff series for at least half of the ten
years he signed. Juan Soto immediately followed up Otani's deal
by signing for seven hundred and sixty five million dollars.
I don't care if it's five years longer. Who they
all cares about thirty eight to forty two year old
Wan Soto? Nobody. I just see that he got sixty
(16:16):
five million more guaranteed dollars for a guy that's a
hell of a baseball player, but a minuscule point zero
zero zero zero zero one percent of the attraction that
Sho ha Otani is. Once that deal was signed, everything
else was guaranteed to go to hell. With superstar players
because of the agents they can't let Sho hay do
(16:39):
to Aaron Judge what show Hayes deal did to Aaron Judge.
Trumpet by thirty million dollars a year. The agents don't
go for it, and the Dodgers always knew it so
clearly that they think about the punches and the guts
that they took for those back to back playoff exits
to Arizona and San Diego. They were very embarrassed, very embarrassed,
(16:59):
but they knew long term, lose the battle.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Win the war. I don't know if they do win
the war. So TONI was going to Toronto?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Is that that true?
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Look?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Tell me what guy thought?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
It was gonna have his njip And everybody knows that,
you know, I just checked my sources. Episode Lebron James
is making fifty two million dollars a year to play
half the games. Justin Herbert is making fifty one million
dollars a year to play seventeen games. Matthew Stafford fifty
million dollars to play seventeen games, Otani seventy million to
play one hundred and sixty two. It is the great
(17:37):
bargain in baseball. And this Dodgers have done everything possible
to supplement that marquee attraction, and that that is why
the eyes of the world will be awake at three
am Pacific to watch the kickoff. Well, you're right, I
see what I see the face you make watch the
first pitch they did. Their eyes will not be open.
Their ears will be open. They will be listening to
(17:59):
the sab Because I don't want to open my eyes.
I will just relax as the sounds of a M
five seventy LA sports serenade me.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Maybe open your eyes just a little.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
The Great Tim Neverett and Rick Monday delivering play by
play and analysis of the inaugural contest of the twenty
twenty five Yamamoto for cy Young, Otani for Unanimous MVP,
Roki Sasaki for Rookie of the Year. It's all beginning tonight,

Speaker 2 (20:37):
Doesn't it though, Doesn't it seem like there's a lot
of access for a lot of people to a lot
of content that could be shared on the airwaves here
to really, I don't know, make for valuable real estate.
Like guess what, we're here. It is the waking hours
while we're here, and our radio show is scheduled to
be on the air.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Well, Look, I've tried to avoid bitterness. Envy, of course,
is the thief of happiness. We all know. Jealousy steals it. Jealousy,
it steals your your your self worth. We know this.
But matt ud do you because what you're saying here
does bring us into the next story. And you know
(21:18):
it was interesting and u uh you're you newly arrived
back in town from last week. So let's we'll call
it this a minor sports story, minor.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Sports stories or great sports talk.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Brock Powers No, although I love the pick, everybody hated
it at the time. Yeah, but I love it. I
love it. I love his white translated family.

What minor sports story? Great sports talk?
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Left out?
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Left off?
Speaker 4 (22:08):
No left out? Uh, son of a bit. We're back
together today at least our show. Uh. And I gotta say,
as a there was a moment last week and it
was Friday. George Reister was here, Thank you, George. He
brought his lovely daughter Peyton, and George and I had
(22:30):
a great time talking college football in March. But of
course Tim Kates. Tim Kates was in another studio working
the Big Ten tournament, working his ass off. Really has
to hold it down. And there was a moment in
this one hour where we talked to Don McClain, our
(22:51):
BFF and Matt back to back. There was cell a
bra you can keep it going, because there really was
keep going, yeah from Frank and he's is that what
it's called? H clinking glasses come? I wouldn't know. I've
(23:14):
never been.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Uh oh, you're more than welcome to go to Indiana.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Well, you know, I'm just telling you how it seemed
in the moment, great camaraderie, great sports action in Indianapolis.
I got Colin Yee in the other room reacting to
everything I say, and I know it's fake. I got George,
I got Peyton Reister, and then okay, so that happens,
and Dawn and Madelieu, you know, we gonna get back
(23:40):
to the table. Bench waiting. I'm gonna get back to
the table. Don's waiting. I just ordered a nice flank
steak adpetising it's gonna be great.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
So I'm supposed to eat like the whole shrimp, or like,
what do I do? Do I just take a big
scoop of this.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Or Don's giving me the lowdown on all these guys. Man,
I know about the whole tournament. I can't wait to
get the information out tomorrow. And then in the four
o'clock hour, we called Dave in Japan. Now that's when
it really hit. Uh. Dave is in Japan with everybody
who's anybody in the sports media world in Los Angeles,
(24:14):
including Alicia de Vayer uh and Dave. Dave is in Japan.
And it's not like, you know, you have a hotel,
you trying to get some rest. No, Dave is in
the back of a limousine whisking around Tokyo with Blake
Trine and Tanner Scott in the back. And if I
have ever felt and I did not grow up cool,
(24:37):
which is a lot of why I hate the cool kids.
And you know, maybe to my detriment, but you know,
I don't want to hang out with acho, you know
what I'm saying. But I did not grow up cool.
So it was really no, I don't please God. No.
Like I felt, I'd never felt so much on on
(25:00):
a show that has my name on it. I wanted
to be a part of the conversation, you know, I
never felt so much an outsider. And they were all
gigly celebratory conversations. We'd be like, you know, hey, Dave,
you know what what what is the what is the
public reacting to out there? Know, hey, Blake, what do
(25:22):
you think the public's reacting to? Ha? Oh God, Japan,
It's gonna be so much better. The whole thing was
a joke to them, and everything in the world was
a joke that we weren't in on.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Isn't this great?
Speaker 4 (25:44):
And one of the listeners, i mean the listeners really
got the gist, and one of them likened it to
the scene and then and I'd barely ever do this
with The Big Lebowski because it's such a thing for everybody.
But a scene in The Big Lebowski where Maude Lebowski
and the video artist Knox Harrington are sitting there and
(26:05):
the dude is trying to talk to them, and they're
all giggling and laughing, and then they end up on
the phone speaking another language, laughing at him, and he's
just standing there holding up freaking white Russian and a
record in his hand and this is and it's and
he's like, who the F is this guy? What are
you doing? IM just trying to do an interview.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I know that.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
With this guy.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Who is he Knox Harrington the video artist? So Uli
has the money?
Speaker 6 (26:35):
Well, uh no, not exactly. This is a very complicated case.
Mod you know, a lot of there's a lot of outs,
a lot of what happened, a lot of strands to
keep in my mind stands head, a lot of strands, and.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
He doesn't have it.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
And who does this sundra about?
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Look I have to take this.
Speaker 6 (26:59):
Oh no, really it's and I've cruised anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Oh please, Jeffrey.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
I don't want to be responsible for any delayed after effects,
after effects.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
This is the point of the interview. And it's just said.
And then I look at Instagram and Rodney's got his
birthday at the nicest restaurant in Japan with magic.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
We are celebrating a birthday today, Cookie Holloween and run.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Rodney, Cookie and myself.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Had a delicious dinner from Master Chef, often recognized as
one of the ten greatest chefs in all the world,
and everybody's like, come on, He's like, here's the view
for my room. It's like she's in the middle of
the freaking greatest amusement park in the history of the world.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
I met that hotel, the Hilton that had the God
Lost in translation jazz Bar, and just having such a
good time. The game starts at three am.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Four hours of great sports talk on a Monday St.
Patrick's Day. That's what we got, not giggling that hard Dave.
Now that Mookie Bets has lost fifteen pounds of some
weird japan virus. They were very, very adamant that he
was sick prior to arriving in Japan. Okay, he had something.
Thought he was going to be fine. That's why we
(28:24):
put him on a plane with the rest of the team.
Even though he was sick. We figured he'd be fine. Yeah,
you're right, it did not come. How's the sound you doing.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
He's so hot. Maybe the game won't feel like a
joke that we aren't in on like the interviews do.
All right, I got another story for you, Mata. I'm
sure you're aware. It's hard to keep you unaware of anything.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Minor sports sports stories or great sports talk.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Grain's Falling, a new celebration of sweeping the nation, The
Cocaine Celebration.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Kim Kaine's story Big Grain's Falling.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Indeed, Matt after an RBI triple Mitch Voight Cocaine Mitch Voight,
Michigan's second basement celebrated by pretending to snort the chalk
line the third baseline, specifically as if it was a
huge line of cocaine.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
The street value of this third baseline do you have
any idea?
Speaker 4 (29:33):
They tackled the chalk guy with his little wheelbarrel thing
before the game. He never made it.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
It took it out of the bullpen.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Voight went on to have two more hits against USC
over the weekend. The Cocaine Celebration, or Selly as it
is called, Cocaine Mitch Voight is sweeping the nation now.
The second baseman is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Whitefish Bay High School,
home of the Blue Dukes, which also sounds like a
(29:59):
real okay high school. Yeah, I mean that Milwaukee Blue Dukes.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
That's cool.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
But if anybody's getting yacked Whitefish High, Uh, he really
geeked it out there, and I know you paid close
attention to the trojan baseball Matt. But it was forty
degrees out there in an arbor, and Voight was all
juiced up and just going to this line. I guess
nobody cared, like you can't do like a shotgun to
(30:23):
the face. Like remember when USC beat LSU in the
first game of the year. An LSU guy in a
receiver score touchdown and he went over, he went over
to a USC guy went come like he caught the
shotgun in his face, and that got that guy a
fifteen yard penalty. But I guess you didn't snort the
line in the face. I guess he snorted the line
(30:45):
in the face of the third baseman, kind of.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Kind of like, Hey, this whole line is mine. I
just said his triple and I'm gonna blow this line.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
You want to snort in the line, you're gonna have
to go out there to the left field because I
got the one out here. But we could not let
the show go into tomorrow without the third base cocaine
celebration talk. I mean, if anybody's going to talk about
big grains fallen, I mean, cocaine literally fuels Tim Kates
to do what he does on this show. That's why
they call him Cocaine Taines, and his cocaine lifestyle is
(31:16):
going to be very evident tonight. Tim Kates's house is
going to look like one of those white Art Deco
houses in Miami Vice tonight when he gets up and
just yacks that big fat breaking line and gets on
the radio and just starts screaming about Tokyo a joke.
We aren't in on.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
Right Blake, right turnor Sita good Blake sona good dinner.
Speaker 4 (31:43):

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Secret text us A fine brought to you by your
Sokel Toyota dealers.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
We make it easy. The faction of listeners that have
my phone number, that's who we're serving here. This is
about the very first segment of the show today, Matt.
It says, ah vintage PMS twenty three minutes of talking
about potential scheduling and airing of grievances. How I missed
the Well, I don't know where you were, sir, but
I thought that it was a very informational first segment.
(33:51):
And we have a lot to get to, Like there's
a lot going on this week. A lot of the
time it's an empty canvas, you know, Matt and I
can come on on a Monday and.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Talk about fire out of the gates, Laker basketball, let's go.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
You know, or we could talk about, you know, something
that happened in the La River or something, because nothing's happening.
But today there are masters to serve, MODELO Saint Patrick,
the Dodgers, the NCAA Tournament.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
It's interesting you mentioned that I was thinking about that
on the five Freeway, that big ass bridge that they
spent all those tens of millions of dollars on that
we drive by every.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
Day gets hit up graffiti about once every couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
And the idea is, oh, we're going to make this
pedestrian bridge and encourage people to bike and walk along
the La River.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Here it's also for early man to walk across the
La like the Bearing Straight, it's for early man to
walk across the La River.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
And instead it is shock full of swift water, very dangerous,
chock full of hobos, trash, drug addicts, trash.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
God knows. There's no copper. If they put any in there,
it's gone on.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
All the wiring gone, there's no lights, copper, wiring's been pulled. Yeah,
it's hell of an investment. I encourage people to enjoy
the outdoors here the greater LA area, and instead it's
now we're just gonna let these folks set up shop,
barbecue crap on the street or the path. And that's
why there's nobody walking nor biking really, and this bridge
(35:12):
is just rusted out and covered in graffiti.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
That Karen Bass doing a great job. Bangum job. Does
it reset after Casey says yes and comes on? Or
is it like a felon with one strike? The three
strikes for Casey J. Gibson. If Casey says yes and
comes on, we're good. It resets. It's like a new
game of Street Fighter. It resets. So. But but if
(35:36):
he says no two more times this tournament, I'm not
saying he's gonna be in the Joel.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Clatt realm right. I think you right? You say once
you're not coming on, and then immediately come on the
next time you're asked. You're fine, You're off probation, you have,
You've responded to the petros and money showing kind so
we're good.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
Bold prediction.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
We love predictions here.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Four teams will be in the final four.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
How many times you're gonna pass them ball before shoot it?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Four?
Speaker 4 (36:04):
Hi pe, I hope you enjoyed your well earned smoko
on Friday. Yes, that's right. We were not stop looking
for a podcast on Friday. We never got on. We
did a four hour show on Thursday with George. We
never got on on Friday because of Ucla, and that
was just that Ucla and the Clippers edged out the show.
(36:25):
There was a very cocaine Kate's style Ucla brewing talk,
a lot of angry people and then that was it.
It just rolled right into fully functional employee Adam, A
lot of angry listeners without a podcast, and a lot
of stuff like that. But Hi, p, I hope you
enjoyed the smoke on Friday? Can I file a listener
self report? One day last week, those high winds in
(36:46):
southern California blew me right out of my backyard blounce chair.
I guess I owed Leslie, Kates and Ronnie a big apology.
We are we are your middle aged person own out
of bed or a chair by some natural disaster show
of record, as Ronnie was literally self described shaken shaken
(37:10):
out of bed like a Martini out of bed because
of earth. And there was another earthquake over the weekend
that was three to nine in Malibu, and they got
a lot of media coverage, and Kate's was boiling over
with anger over the lack of media coverage typ his
earthquake in Burbank that nobody and I'm telling you nobody
(37:32):
cared about at all.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
That's that's not cool.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
And quickly, Matt, a lot of corrections and retractions.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
We make it easy, Jim Kate's Irish car bomb is
the Irish whiskey, which could be Jamison or bush Mills
depending on your religion, the Guinness and the Bailey's Irish
cream to make it extra gross.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Now I'm like, oh, that sounds that sounds delicious. He
put the Bailey's in that mix. That is a real treat.
Speaker 4 (38:05):

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
