Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah. I feel like it could be a daily lament,
so I'll abstain.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Education exists mainly in what we've unlearned.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Going with you, petros in Money and my seventy LA Sports.
We are live everywhere on the iHeart Radio app. This
is It's a superflex show. This is the regularly scheduled
slot of The Rogan and Rodney Show until three pm.
But because the Dodgers have made their way to the
East Coast playing in the.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Big Time, you said you were going to stay.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Well, I just mentioned that.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
I mean that was pretty snarky. I mean right there, Yeah,
I think it was. I was just I ain't say
it again. Say it again, then say it with your chest.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
It's one o'clock. Uh, normally a slot when you would
be hearing the Rogan and Rodney Show. But due to
the Dodgers Eastern Seaboard dalliance with the New York Mets
just dripping at City Field, the Petros and Money Show,
we'll go from one to three today. We call it
a super flex because Dodgers on Deck starts at three,

(01:44):
first pitch at four from the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth,
meaning we will be off the air before our normally
scheduled start time. That's the kind of day we have today.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
It's only a two hour show, it's only a paper moon,
and it's a three day weekend. We hope you have
a great Memorial Day and we'll be back on Tuesday,
and that's only going to be a one hour show
and then the schedule will even out. It is going
to be a sprint, like a sprint race in the

(02:15):
f one of great sports talk. But we are.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Hopeful, hopeful music at noon, Hopeful music at noon.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
We are hopeful to still have the god given ability
to entertain and inform and pass the time through great
sports talk and the Petrus Money Shows dedication to what
we call great sports talk. Of course, you could podcast

(02:47):
the show on the iHeartRadio app if you missed it,
because we are on early as Matt so clearly pointed
out to be and Rodney time slot straight facts. There's
no doubt about that. You know, there's a new feature
on the iHeartRadio app that allows you to set the

(03:30):
also get the Petroson Money Show on demand with the
Petrolson Money Show Podcast. Now, Matt, we are not New Yorkers.
We are far from it. There are many things happening
in New York sports wise right now. There were in
the fall when the Yankees were taken on the Dodgers.
But this one Soto thing is kind of interesting. Before

(03:54):
we get into the rest of the routine that we
have to go through because apparently one Soto's like law
lost his spirit. He's not dancing in the box anymore.
He's not shimmying and shaking and salsaying around. He's got
the as David Veasse put it yesterday, the Freddie Freeman

(04:14):
like lament when he left Atlanta and was MOPy and
snoopy with the Dodgers for a month or so until
Kershaw just like the Godfather told Johnny Fontaine, did she
act like a man and got him to uh, oh,
good fool, My boy's good foo. He got him to
pep up and of course yeah, and the fans have

(04:37):
now embraced Freddie Freeman, and it feels like he's been
here forever and his Atlanta time is is, you know,
like an ex girlfriend deep deep in the rear view.
I guess Juan Soto's going through something like that right now.
But I do wonder if we were mailbox heads like
Covino and Rich who did six hours of programming today

(05:00):
on the Fox Sports Radio network.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
Now, Doug shut up, shut Doug showed up.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Oh, Doug showed up. So how how long did.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
You know was supposed to fill in for Cowherd the first.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Segment of the nine o'clock hour, So you know a
little oh that's.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Not bad, all right, Well it's geez, you know it was.
It was conveyed to me differently earlier in the morning.
But it's good that, uh that Gottlieb got going. I'm
just saying, if we were New York met heeads Matt
and you know how those fans are we. I mean,
we had a whole crossover thing with Bonino.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Banino and and uh, oh god. I was gonna say Rich,
but it's Covino and rich Evan, Beanino and Roberts.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
You got. All I got is Banino and Matt.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
The Mets, they're certainly not the Yankees, but they still
have quite a Let's say.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
We were the Mets radio station and we're pre half
in post and like the number one super guy is
not is all flat? What would how would we handle?

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well, reportedly this all came over the him with a
meme like me do something. Yeah, this all came down
to that suite. Remember, they were all pissed off that
the Yankees wanted to charge him for a suite for
his family, and the Yankee said, we don't give any
of our players a free suite and a contract extension
and that, or else we'd have to give all our
suitetes away. If you want to buy one, buy one.

(06:26):
And he got all upset and he went to the match,
no questions asked exactly. He was like, I want that one.
They were like that one. That's the crappy sweet we
gave iHeart Radio, that's the one I want. All right, well,
now we got ourselves an upgrade. They've been scully sweet.
But yeah, that's kind of one of the reasons.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Why he left that guess spitting facts.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
No, that's that is totally embellished and fabricated by me.
But I like to envision that he like walks.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
You want most terrible sweet.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Why my vision of the way that o'donni selected his
is that he walked into every single one at that
like the first they started at home plate right with.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
The prema, every single chair.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
And somehow got to ours and they were like, really,
this one, this one that did? Did those two clowns
routinely broadcast their show from as the one you want?
Do you know how much bad karma there is in
this in this room? Steve Hartman?

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Wow, they saged.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
It was yeah, oh, I see what you're saying. They
brought in the sage and didn't Phil Jackson, did they
put a yurt in the area?

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Were you gonna Mentionine that Steve Hartman was summarily dismissed
by somebody there.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Now turn your ass around and get the f out
of here. Interesting there was that moment we were both,
but I feel like it was predominantly me dressed down
in front of an audience by that same man. Get
outside right now. Everybody heard him say that, and then
in the hallway he proceeded to humiliate a man in

(07:58):
his forties, a couple men in therefore artist, which was
rather uncomfortable. You know, some some real negative karme in
that that sweet well, not.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
To sure all the divisional round losses Don Martin's shoulder collapsing.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
See what I mean? Like, there's a lot of negativity
in that house, in those suite, right, you would have
think they would have said, there's there's some bad juju
in this suite here, showy, I think you might want
to take a different one.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Well, I mean, whatever happened, he took our suite and
won a world series. Yes, it all worked out yeah,
and an MVP in the fifty to fifty things, So
I guess there couldn't have been that much bad jite.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
I got off the point though, you're talking about one
soda just sad.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
If he's not all we I mean, how would we
handle that, Like would we try to cajole him?

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Like?

Speaker 3 (08:47):
What do they?

Speaker 2 (08:47):
I think we? I don't think we were all that
kind to Freddy when he was going through it.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
He took like fifteen straight pitches. He's not dancing around.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, there's no sodo santher or whatever they call it.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Yes, Tim, he's got more strikedowns in the month of
May than he does actually hits in the month of May.
And as you mentioned in the game against the Red
Sox the other night, he did not swing the bat
for every pitch in the bat and took a called
strike three and just went back to the dugout now summer.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Saying, fifteen straight pitches.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
He's upset because he got called out for not hustling
out a ball he thought was gonna go over the
green monster. That did happen and it didn't, and so
he got called out by it. And also people are
pointing out, hey, you just lollygagging right a field. There's
balls that he doesn't go after down the line. They're like,
wait a second, this is year one of fifteen, and
this is how you're performing two months end of the season.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
There's a lot of memes of him walking, you know,
into the club or like a guy walking through the
door looking all discouraged, and they're like, this is what
Sodo's gonna look like for the next fifteen years, every day,
right walking into the Mets clubhouse. So I'm just saying
I want to prepare our listeners because this situation is
gonna unfold right in our time slot. Uh, Like Matt says, uh,

(10:03):
you know, we're we're gonna be off early.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah, I'm not swinging the bat by the way. Like
he's considered to be one of the dudes that seze
it better than anybody.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yeah, he's one of the swinging hist kids in town.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, Like he does not swing and miss a lot.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
When you're a Met, you're the swingingest thing, little boy,
You're a man, little man, you're a king. So it's
all gonna unfold itself on Frogman Friday. Here on the
Petasen Money Show. Every grain of sand or silt carried
out by the rivers. He's deposited equally into the sea.

(10:48):
Pets Money show honoring the greatness of the Pacific Ocean
on Asian American Pacific islander Muddy. We also honor the
existence of the Great Mike Mel who was played by
Lloyd Bridges as an undersea mercenary and perhaps the greatest
television show ever could see, shot up the West Coast

(11:11):
California and branch of Pallas Verdi's at the marine land
of the Pacific. Of course Matt and I are discussing, see.

Speaker 6 (11:19):
There aren't many Latin American countries where you'd have to
sneak a dive to find a sunken US plane. San
Miguel was the exception. While my companion's topside pretended to
be fishing, I had gotten to the wrecked aircraft and
found what I had been sent after, a simple looking
attashay case which was actually a State Department diplomatic pouch.

(11:44):
What was in it I didn't know, but it was
important enough to stir up all this secret activity. Now,
as I headed for the surface, I knew better than
to relax. This job wouldn't be over till look out
she was safely back in the United States.

Speaker 7 (12:04):
Todd lights thirteen to five. What are you nuts? We
still got to take that morning man.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
You know what that's like these days.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
You got the.

Speaker 7 (12:13):
Navy everywhere, you got frogmen, you got the e C
two's with the satellite tracking, you got the bell two
nine of salt choppers up the ass. We're losing one
out of every nine loads. That's no dunk walk anymore.
Let me tell you, forget about money. What do you
suggest that's reasonable?

Speaker 8 (12:33):
Dinner rooms, doyers.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Remember you asked how we would uh, how we would
react to it? How would yeah, what would our approach
be if.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Like though Tani came here and he was sad and
he missed the angels and he wouldn't swing the bat,
or Freddie freed, Like at least Freddie was sad, but
at least he swung the bat.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
I wonder if we would do what at Mike uh
de Portes did MLB insider, former analyst.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
For the Cubs, Miguel Deportees.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Just a kid from the Dominican Republic PERIODO is what
he has in his bio. This is what he wrote
to want Soto p Okay, and I don't know if
you want to come up with some dramatic music here, Kates,
But I think maybe it's got a little it's it's
not super wordy, but it's a little wordy. But I
think you're gonna like this because it's just to me.
It reeks of petros and money and how we would

(14:18):
approach the situation. You are not the same on Soto.
Whatever challenge you are facing, remember that you have a country,
the Dominican Republic, to support you. Every day. We send
you positive vibes, hope to see your game shine again.
I'm not worried about your hidden We all know you're
a real beast. You have proven your talent against the

(14:39):
most fearsome pictures and in the most challenging moments without
a doubt. Oh what concerns me is your body language.
There is a different aura around you, a demeanor that
you have never shown before. I sincerely hope that whatever
is bothering you doessolve soon and you return earn to

(15:00):
give us those moments of magic that only you know
how to create. Sending you a big hug, one soda.
We are here with you always, Dominican Republic, the whole country.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
Whole country.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah, I wasn't really understanding the gist of that, of
that entire thing until you said, the problem is your
body language.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Your body language the problem?

Speaker 3 (15:27):
What is your body language?

Speaker 4 (15:30):
There's also his family to blame, guys, and prod to
me if you guys already mentioned that I was in
the prep zone. Juan Soto's family apparently was the ones
that told him you were going to sign with the Mets.
This according to Michael k, Yankees broadcaster who talked about
this on Monday, saying he wanted to go back to
the Yankees. Family said no, you're going to the Mets.

(15:51):
You're going to the Mets. And this is a guy
that listens to his family. Did you see what Walker
Buehler did in that series.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
When he got tossed As he was walking out, he
looked at Sodians like, hey, you look like you were
happier as a Yankee, and Lindor like tried to fight
him or something.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
What a mass right New York is teeming? You know,
they had that terrible luck in the finals game and
they blew the lead and that ball bounce so hard
and Halliburton's holding his neck and his dad's waving a
towel around outside the arena because he's not allowed inside.
And now this situation with deflator Mouse Soto very interesting.

(16:33):
The problem is your body language.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Problem, is your body languige.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
There's gonna be a war in the streets. Well that's
it's unfortunate to know that that's happening, but it is
something going on. You know, we have a tendency, Matt
because we're Dodger station to be a little myopic and
not really know what's going on with the Authers. And
this is something to keep an eye on, because let's

(17:04):
be honest, this is a big.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Story, no no doubt. It's the highest bided player in baseball.
Clayton the usurped Shohil Tani's title in that category.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Clayton Kershaw is eleven to zero in seventeen starts versus
the Mets in his career, which started in nineteen eighty six,
So it's gonna be a hell. He used to strike
out the straw dog. Kershaw is going.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
To go tonight bare born in nineteen eighty six, I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
And he's taken on Kershaw has taken on Griffin Canning,
who's a Santa Margarita guy. Carson Palmer University. He's an Eagle,
and then he was a Bruin, and then he was
an Angel and now he's having a resurgence with the Mats.
So it's a very interesting pitching matchup. And David Vasse

(17:52):
who will join us in the next hour. Matt has
got David Roberts, Dave Roberts, Dodger manager on the pregame show,
pulling some strings because there is a lot. There is
a lot going on, and Matt speaking of the Halos,
they're feeling pretty good.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
All the Hanks. The Hawks are honking.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Can I read you a text?

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Please?

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Not in a Latino accent. It's a white massage. The
problem is our buddy language doesn't really all right. You
can guess who this is from. I don't know if
I need the dramatic music. Our AT Angels have won

(18:37):
seven in a row and are eleven and five of
the last sixteen, including back to back sweeps of AT
Dodgers and AT Athletics. This is a gun exciting team
with AT Mike Trout coming back soon. Listen to the

(19:00):
well I can't say that today say all their names.
At the Sports looks to win tickets and family fun packs.
They are honking. That's Angels, Marlan Tonight check into the lodge. Hey,
little haunts. They're really rolling Matt By the.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Way, I wouldn't announce that Mike Trout's coming back soon,
like I would just hope that it's flown under the radar,
that he's been injured and out yet again, you know,
and just when he comes back. How about Trouty tonight, Well,
I mean a moment and there's a you know.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
You act like Rendon has not been tearing it up.
You know, he's been doing a great job in Trout stands.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Out there every day. Max Effort, very likable individual.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Geene Audrey loves it.

Speaker 2 (19:47):

Speaker 9 (19:53):
And Ryan McMullen figure rowa ron fairly, Don Baylor, he
was MVP.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Talking base.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Really forced that one in there, didn't you.

Speaker 9 (20:05):
The California team now when you're talking, I love the
Angels based ball.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
Let's talk up ten seven in a row.

Speaker 9 (20:16):
Eckstein and Klaus.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Eckstein and glass Bar.

Speaker 9 (20:19):
Won twenty games and messrs Smith he did the same.
Ryan's fourno hit his in three years.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
The Batters weren't team all who did this.

Speaker 9 (20:35):
Mike Soosha has ambition and with the Angels ammunition, they're
aiming for the series in the Fall.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
You gotta be honest. The Social Bank made.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Think it's the guy who is the band leader for
Main Street USA.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
I love that. It's fine and Annah Great America. Stay
all right, I'm talking Babase, Spanderson.

Speaker 9 (20:54):

Jony Figgins, girl Figgins. What was that guy's name? Jony?

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Uh, it's pronounced Sean.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
What where'd you pull that out of your call? O Kates?
I took that. I thought that was the David Vasse
first dance song until I started hearing it. Yeah, this
was a whole different deal. That was an Angels. We're
talking baseball.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
Somebody made a little Angels version about six years ago.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Well, the honks are honking, that's all I want to say.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
They're trying to get a vacancy at the lodge, but
they said they're all booked up. For the summer.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
You wouldn't do that to us Kate's you wouldn't do that.
That was like. That was like when Doc from The
Tonight Show went over on our Sineo Show with Ed
mc mahon. They really turned their back on Carson when
they did that. You wouldn't do that just because they've
won a few in a row. You wouldn't do that,
would you. Kate.

Speaker 4 (22:03):
That's a nice, big shiny toy over there.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
You know, Hello, I think he would. He's a seam
head man. You know, those teams are sweating down there
in Anaheim.

Speaker 4 (22:15):

bunch of young players?

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Oh? Happy?

Okay, all right, I like this little look down here.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Okay, finally, good luck to the Angels. Proud of them
for performing.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Questions how many uh, how many views on that talking
Angels baseball? How many views on that? That doesn't mean
it's not great, Oh I'm just asking.

Speaker 4 (22:39):
I mean, it's all it's not about the views, just as.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
It's not how much how long has it been up?
And how many views on that?

Speaker 4 (22:46):
I mean, it's not really about it is about you know,
how many people are watching it?

Speaker 5 (22:52):
Well?

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Now, just how many you got?

Speaker 4 (22:56):
Fifty seven?

Speaker 3 (22:57):
All right?

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Okay? Oh jeez, I thought it was going to be.
That's a lot more than I had intested.

Matt thought I was gonna be fifty seven.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
It's been up seven years and we were the.

Speaker 3 (23:05):

Speaker 4 (24:50):
You're supposed to bring a glove to the game because
if you catch one of the foul balls, considering it.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Out, you're part of the game. That's exactly right.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
Well to say, I heard they do that any games too.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Because thanks for listening, We'll be back with more great
sports talk, spending some Money Show on seventy. Hey, everybody,
pet Us and Money on a frog Man Friday, Big drama,

(25:23):
Dodgers mets Kershaw Canning, Morongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck coming
up at three o'clock. Man, it's early with David Vasse
having Dave Roberts, Tim Kates will take you up the
first pitch, of course, so enjoy that one. Dodgers mets
Juan Soto drama. But right now, before we go any further,

(25:46):
and we're on till three, it's time for the top
story of the day.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Well, you mentioned it, pe Dave will join us in
less than an hour and he'll be able to dig
deeper into this. But you know, I like to do
the prep for the show, and I try to scour
all the outlets possible make sure nothing gets through the wickets.
We don't miss anything. So we come on and we
are covering all of our bases, pardon the pun. And
I come to this conclusion after thumbing through everything.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
That's why I watched the Diddy trial stuff, Matt. You know,
I stay up on it.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Breedo next, well, we get deep into it. That's what
we do. We dig deep, and we dive deep into
these things.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Okay, there's no doubt about that, Matt. We don't need
these craws at least twenty feet in the water.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
I don't need the commentary. I believe that I am
perfectly fine leaving this one in the hands of the
Dodgers brass when it comes to determining when Sho Hao
Tani should take to the mound and pitching a major
League game for the first time since having his second
Tommy John surgery on his pitching arm back in September
of twenty twenty three, when we are sharing a suite

(26:54):
because he was kind enough to come upstairs so we
didn't have to go down on the field, where I
believe the temperature at the time was somewhere between one
hundred and thirty and one hundred and forty five degrees.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
Hottest game in the history of Los Angeles sports.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
When Brandon Gomes is joining the Petrussen Money Show, that's
when you ask the question, that's when you get an answer.
And when he joined us, I thought he gave it
to a straight Yeah, he's coming back. He's got to
pitch when. Don't know, sure would like it to be
sooner than later. Considering our current circumstances, and he said,
show he wants it more than anyone. But then he said,

(27:29):
we'll do it when the time's right. The guy just
won the MVP last year. The Dodgers just won their
first non June, the third David June, the third full
season World Series since nineteen eighty eight. And Otani continues
to not only be the best player in baseball, but
the biggest draw in baseball. He is a walking atm

(27:55):
machine for this franchise. You were talking about Juan Soto
in the opening segment, the idea that you would pay
him more money than Otani even if and he is not,
But even if he were a better baseball player, he
is not one tenth of one percent the draw that

(28:19):
shohe Otani is. He's not just a baseball player. He
is a an entertainment supernova. So to suggest the Dodgers
would do anything that would jeopardize everything that he brings.
The cost of a Michilada of a Mister Cartoon T.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Shirt, Oh, the Mister Cartoon T shirts are going up
like bigcoin.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
The amount of people that pack that stadium, to the
move that watch on TV, which, by the way, they
had always dug their heels and said we will never
support a stream. Yeah, Tony, change that too. It's ridiculous.
And I get that it's a second Tommy John and

(29:06):
those things can be sketchy. And we're hearing about braids
and braces in his arm and all of these sort
of things trying to overcome multiple tears and shreddings of
his innerds. And I'm not going to be worried that
recklessness of all things that will do him in, it
will not be the recklessness of the Dodgers in wanting

(29:28):
to rush him back in May or June for regular
season baseball. They have shown routinely and regularly that they
are playing for October. That that is how this team operates.
By bullpen games, by days off, by the Oklahoma City Express,
by the acquisitions, and does Lebron James like to say

(29:49):
the acquisitions that they make at the trade gutline, that
they are not a team that places too much chart
ticket into the tournament. Everything beyond that gravy all good so.
And I'm thinking, you know that that if that thing
isn't gonna hold up, it's just not gonna hold up,

(30:12):
and he'll never pitch again, and that'll be what it
comes down to, it's not because of a tying table.
He'll just go back to being arguably the greatest hitter
of his era and potentially cement himself as the best
player of all time. I take a little bit of
a diversion here, pe because I know it's something you
appreciate and something that I've come to appreciate in the
last couple of years. But congratulations to I'm pretty sure

(30:35):
went to Pepperdine, didn't hedn't stank what's go to Pepperdine?
I think he did to USC baseball coach Andy Stankowitz,
becoming the first coach of Trojans baseball to win one
hundred games in his first three seasons since Michael Lesbie
knocking off Washington in Omaha earlier today.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
He might be the most successful coach they've had since
michae Espie.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Yeah. So the unfortunately they lost to Penn State, so
they aren't going to make the semi final.

Speaker 5 (31:03):
No.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Yeah, So it is now in the hands of the
selection committee on Monday, and they got absolutely hosed last year.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
They eat the selection committee to get into the tournament.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Yeah, into the Colly. I think they are into the
world the tournament into the tournament, just into the play
for to play for Omaha exactly.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
But that's kind of cool.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
This year Big Ten tournament was at Charles Schwabfield in Omaha,
so they got to play a couple of games there.
But I also bring it up because maybe Otani's future
is what Stankowitz's best player is doing, and that's modern
day's Ethan Hedges. He's the team's best hitter, leads the
team in homers, Ribby's hits. He's hitting three forty three
with a one six to one OPS, and he's the

(31:46):
team's closer with a opponent batting average of one seventy three,
nine saves and fifteen innings. And again, congratulations to the
the Stankowitz Trojans and their brick by brick approach and
the hope that they do not get shut out again
on Selection Monday, as we will not be on the
air for the postseason. In the NCAA College Baseball, UCLA

(32:08):
one of the top teams. Oregon I think is the
one seed in the Big Ten. But look, I don't
mean for it to be playing too negative on the
Otani front, But maybe that's it right, Maybe maybe the
wear and tear on the arm from all the up
and down and up and down inning to inning is
too much. But he can give the team a lead
with his bat and then go out there and close

(32:28):
it out for the win, like he did in the
World Baseball Classic against Mike Trout. It's trouta here, No,
it wasn't. Oh, Tony got the best of them there.
So a bit of a wild sidebar, but I think
I kind of tied it together, you know what I mean.
The guy might end up being a closer, is what
I'm saying. Maybe it's not the starter that's going to
be his future if they're that concerned about his arm,
and we're like almost two years removed from the second
Tommy John surgery and they're still not quite confident in it.

(32:50):
But that would be projecting something terrible happening, and we
don't want to do that, not on a Friday of
Memorial Day weekend, when everybody's doing what they like to
do to get the extra day in.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
The So you just you don't want to see Tani
until somebody tells you it's time to see how.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Tom I just don't think there's any reasons.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
I feel like this is a bit of a requiem
on me asking a question to guls.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
No, I said, that's I mean.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
I asked the question, Matt. I was proud to ask it.
What people were thinking about right there at that moment.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
It's not what this is. It is. I tipped my
cap to the question. This is this is the I
don't want to give all of the outlets the free
publicity because I know how much Dave said.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
I don't appreciate your acquisations.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
I don't need people telling me that the Dodgers need
to be responsible and layoff bringing Otani back too early.
You don't need to worry about that. I don't need
a column about the mismanaging of the health of Otani.
What you do need to worry about is this freaking schedule.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
I got some at a couple of weeks are not easy.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
It's crazy. I got to do some stuff at the
end of June, moving Parker from place to place up
in slow kid. Can't live in the same freaking house
every year, fourth place in four years, and I'm the
guy with the U haul moving at all. Already looking
into geting one of those old men Velcrow, save my
back belts, you know.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Oh nice, Yeah, just get one from the weight room.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
That's what I'm gonna do. You know, I'm gonna put
it on the outside of my polo that's tucked into
my sweatpants, that goes with it.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
I just worried, you're gonna grab one that's gonna be
like even the tightest, it's not gonna fit around your
head exactly.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
That's my problem. It's gonna sag down my ass because
there is no ass there. But the point is starting
today for us. I should say tonight out there today
for us. Between now and one month from today June nineteenth,
beyond June the third, David, they will play eight series,
seven games against the Mets in two series, the number

(34:48):
one wildcard team in the National League. They'll play three
games one series against Cleveland, they currently lead the American
League's wild card race. They will play three against the Yankees,
leaders in the AL East. Right and you're defending AL
Pennant champs. They will play three against the Giants, currently
the number two wild card team and two games back
of the Dodgers right now, seven against the Padres, the

(35:10):
number three wild card team, three games back of the
Dodgers in the NL West, and three against the Cardinals,
who are one game out of the final wild card
spot winners in thirteen of their last seventeen. That is
what you need to worry about, not if the Dodgers
are going to hurry Otani back what should have been

(35:31):
a one through five of Yama as we like to
call him here, Snellzilla Glass not now Sasaki, and a
combo for that number five or six starter in Gonsolin
kershawmme is instead those last three with Landon Nak joining them.
Can't say it enough. Got two Cy Young's the most

(35:52):
type free agent pitcher from the offseason, and another one
hundred and fifteen million dollars of nips and abs on
the il. That's not even talking about the Bullpen's what
you need to worry about, not whether or not Otani's
gonna come back to.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Would you like a gentle pushback from the secret text
doco line? I know you would. I always love those Yeah,
you're right, Matt. I completely trust the Dodgers about handling
O'tani's comeback on the mound, since they've got such a
great track record of handling pictures and keeping them healthy.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
Wow, fair, fair, well, I give those pictures? Was the
golden goose well and.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Also like why, I mean, you can't fault them for
being cautious if that's the case, they're being extra cautious.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Exactly, he ain't gonna put that guy in harm's way,
That's what he says. Just did those irresponsible Halos Hanks.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
This says actually showhe was a walking atm for eBay.
That is, It's very true. We'll be back with the
lessons learning Great sports doc has been a heck of
a week. There's a lot of podcasts on the iHeartRadio
app for your smartphone still to come. More on the
Dodgers with David Vasse, big one with the Mets tonight.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Here for another hour. We'll be off around two fifty
five for a three o'clock Dodgers on Deck and a
four o'clock first Pitch Kersshaw on the mound for the
Dodgers as they take on the Mets. They'll do that
through the weekend and then Monday move to Cleveland as
they will start a series with the Guardians. Will be
off on Monday and again a super flex Today off

(37:32):
before our regularly scheduled start.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
And we're thrilled, indeed thrilled to be on. You can
hear it, It is time for the lessons learned a samk.

Speaker 4 (37:42):
Twitter mout down Pitcher.

Speaker 10 (37:44):
I guess you delivered a really sick burn with no concerns.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Since all right, time for the lessons learned in great
sports Talk. We'll start with lesson one.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Oh no, no, let's say.

Speaker 11 (38:01):
On a Dicker the Kicker.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker joined us from the Monarch Bay
Golf Course on Monday. From the Chargers golf event Happy
it was a three hour show, not a four hour show,
just it was perfect, and he talked about being from China.
I grew up there.

Speaker 12 (38:24):
I ate everything. The street food. The noodles on the
street are always funny because you walk by and it's
like somebody out in the middle, like pretty much on
the sidewalk, like stretching the noodles. And then you're like, well,
we're gonna trust it.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
And I did and it was great. And how often
did it?

Speaker 5 (38:36):
Do you? Did it?

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Do you wrong?

Speaker 4 (38:38):
I don't feel like that often. That's great.

Speaker 12 (38:39):
I think it's because I lived there, so I think
it was just like I was ready for it. If
you win, I think it could mess with you.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
How often do you go? How often when you're out
with to Chinese with other people food, you are you like, hey,
you know it's not like this over in China.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (38:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
I pulled that card a lot, pull a lot a lot.

Speaker 12 (38:56):
We go to like places. I'm like, Oh, this isn't
this isn't authentic, this isn't good.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
Right, I'll pull that card for sure. I'm not even
gonna call this Chinese food because it's not. It's not.

Speaker 12 (39:04):
It's American Chinese.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
Does your Chinese? And that's what it says in a
lot of towns it does, does your Chinese? H depth
bar you from dining at Panda Express Like a true American.

Speaker 12 (39:16):
I stopped dining at Panda Express for health code reasons.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
Oh that was a bridge too far. He had he
had a real family problem in at Panda Express once
we we don't know what it was. Cost him a
field goal or two. I heard Lessen.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
Took lost Alex on doors.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Let's only do it.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
He lost the MA. Jim Harbaugh joined us. Always great
to talk to him. We had him on last year
from the same event. And a big fan of late
night college football.

Speaker 10 (39:47):
On Time and I am such a big fan of you,
Petros and I when I was back in Michigan, you know,
especially if we won a game. If we won a game,
then I would uh, my routine was played the new game,
and then I would go Then I'd go home and
watch TV.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
They have Utah States.

Speaker 10 (40:06):
And I'm rude against I'm rude against everybody. Okay, is
there any possiblity that everybody could lose? It didn't work
out that way, but then I would just if we won,
I would watch game, the afternoon game, then the seven
o'clock game, and then I'd get the pac ten after dark.
Here comes Petros into my living room, like, let's go
to college. I would get a second.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
Win, the college football equivalent of Elfira.

Speaker 10 (40:29):
You that's what I love about you. You bring it,
you bring it, you bring the juice, the energy. You know,
it's like the Jesus use of football.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
Always great to see coach Harba with the people and well.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Less than three thanksy home tress anything.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
James worthy with bold statements about flopping in the modern NBA.

Speaker 5 (41:06):
I don't know. It might have been blottye. They bought
the flop over here. Oh yeah, and so yeah, I
think I think the flop should be like a free throw.
If you flop, you get to stand in the middle
of the circle and the guy gets to slap you
one one time, just real hard, open hand slap.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
I uh, that's I gotta caught me off guard with
that one.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
Hey, Hey, Kate's that's an okay one. That was legitimately funny.
Oh James, that was legitimately funny. How dare you?

Speaker 5 (41:43):
Dare you?

Speaker 2 (41:44):
Kates?

Speaker 3 (41:44):
I also am a little bit shocked that he blames
Blotte for the whole thing.

Speaker 5 (41:49):
I don't know, it might have been Blottie. They bought
the flop over here.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
That's pretty crazy.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
Few Kates, that's right. Freaking Banana Savannah.

Speaker 4 (42:02):
Less and far le.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
How fun at the Savannah Bananas Lucia hay soun Kem
was talked about. Matt asked him, asked the Great Dodger
GB former towny Brandon Gold.

Speaker 13 (42:22):
I think he's the most likable person I've ever been
run in my life.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
I don't.

Speaker 13 (42:25):
He just has this energy about him. He's like he's
clapping for Yama in between strikes last night. Enough you
guys saw that, Like it's amazing. So he's he's been
fun to watch, I think, bringing like real energy to
the club. And you know, I do think for as
well as he's played, there's another level in there for
for him to keep going and offensively, I think it's

(42:46):
only going to get better.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
Love that answer a lesser five.

Speaker 4 (43:00):
Haha.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
Le I don't know. I don't even know what's really
if it's live or if it's dake.

Speaker 5 (43:19):
No.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
Bar Garciapara, one of the great guys, joined us to
discuss the injury epidemic, not just with the Dodgers in MLB.

Speaker 14 (43:28):
I think this is where the injuries are coming. Nobody
is training now. I mean we even here, guys get
interviewed throughout Major League Baseball.

Speaker 8 (43:33):
What are you told?

Speaker 14 (43:34):
Uh to go as hard as I can for as
long as I can, really go as hard as you
can for as long as you can. I mean, it's
you're supposed to be able to think, Okay, I'm trying
to finish off the game. I'm supposed to go nine innings,
so I got to pace myself and how what's the
chess match on? How I pitch that guy for twet bats?
And how am I going to get him out that.

Speaker 4 (43:52):
Third at bat?

Speaker 3 (43:52):
That's the beauty of it.

Speaker 14 (43:54):
That's rus that was fun and me as a hitter going, Man,
is he still in theres the third time?

Speaker 3 (43:58):
Okay? Man, what do I gotta do? Changed?

Speaker 14 (44:00):
Because he's made me look foolish the last two times?
Is he gonna make me look fullish a third time?
Sometimes they do. Sometimes you're like, man, I got one out,
but that's part of the game. But you don't experience
that anymore. It's just bringing the other guy throwing as
hard as he can, and then go from there.

Speaker 4 (44:14):
What an answer? What an answer?

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Clip?

Speaker 2 (44:20):
And replay that over and over again.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
Great stuff from no mine?

Speaker 11 (44:28):
Oh lesson sick, let's on, I say, don McLean.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
It was a calculated risk to ask him about teen Wolf.
Find out if it pays off. Here.

Speaker 5 (44:44):

that up? P and I had.

Speaker 9 (44:49):

can't what a disaster. Matt Bonus Lesson say I am and.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
You are who you said you weren't.

Speaker 7 (45:43):
Sometimes we are long about we think other people are.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
That's okay.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
Don't assume you can always just ask which ponounce do
