Speaker 3 (04:54):
In the Winston Churchill three por biography set quick Hits.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Everybody make it quick, y'all?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, that change into the guard This afternoon in Ohio,
the Dodgers got the script flipped on the face and
they went down to the Cleveland Guardian. Today in Cleveland,
seven to four, Tanner Scott blew another save.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Blew it again.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
He gave up four runs in the eighth, his fifth
blown save of the year. Already for Tanner Scott, there
have been calls for him to shave and reveal his
fat face.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Scott kicks and deals, swinging the ground ball through the
whole left side of base.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Hit.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
One run comes in, Here comes the tying run around third.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
It's four to four. Noel scored, and then Wilson scored.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
The tiet Tanners Scott had him on the ropes with
two strikes, and he gives up an opposite field single
and it's.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
A brand new ball game here in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Bedrock chest on Clayton Kershaw, though he deserved better. His
chest was hard, unscoopable. He went five innings, only gave
up one run on six hits, swung on and driven.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
To left and deep. This ball is back and this
ball is gone.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
I'm hell Martinez breach Alex Bessio with a three run
and the Guardians wait at seven to four.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Way to go, Bessia. Dodgers finished the road trip three
and three. That thing was a tater.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
They now return home for a seven game homestand three
versus the Yankees, four versus the Mets, and we sure
are excited about that. On Am five seventy, you're home
of the Dodgs. We're going out there, man, that's how
excited we are. We've been sent back to Dodger Stadium
for the second time in as many weeks, and that
is unheard of since the arrival of Shohei o Tani.
I only hope we are not met with a Kurt
(06:46):
attitude when we try to take our rightful spot well
in our former also feels a little bit like you're
trying to speak a con conflicting conflict into existence.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
He's planting the farious seat.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
A little bit, little like that. The Angels are four
under five hundred. They've lost four in a row after
their seven game win streak. Oh, you always seem so
brad before.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
We all knew what that lodge was. It's nothing but
new carpet and a paint show. Oh, come on, Matt,
the bones were still.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
It was the Firefest, yes, or the sweet Step and
repeat as soon as you got around the corner.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The fry Fest. It was terrible. So we're now in
an era. Oh look at this is a Kate special.
You know when it starts like that, We're now in
an era.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, we're NFL reporters keep track of OTA workouts and
player performance. Shader Sanders had a really good day at
OTAs Cleveland Round Brown's fifth round pick had the best
performance among the team's four quarterbacks on Wednesday, according to ESPN.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Well they are invested was this mel hyper beat reporter
for the Browns now.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Seven or nine, three tds, no picks in throwing reps
during team drills. Team's other signal callers were well off
his pace. Dylan Gabriel was eleven for sixteen, two touchdowns
and one pick.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
He sucks. Probably a good time to point out that,
per the Collective Bargaining Agreement, you are not allowed to
have any contact between players during OTAs, so while corners
are working on their mirroring skills. Yeah, but could let
me explain something to you, man, They cannot make any contact.
Pass rush.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Okay, you got to contend with that wicked NFL pass
rush coming right down the d, right down the D,
right the urethra.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You know what it looks like. Why you thought Baylor
was tough bow p I would describe the pass rush
as Wednesday night dollar rolling rocks at denim and diamonds,
where we've got a choreograph dance out there on the floor.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I've seen more pushing in the men's room. Well, we'll
see your day for Shador. ESPN said's okay, way to go.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I believe he has the inside track to be the starter. Yeah,
for sure, for sure, Hall of Fame. I'm Terry.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Bradshaw didn't mince words when asked about the steelers lack
of successive quarterback in recent years. He said it's a
failure of the Steelers to put a good offense around
the quarterback. That's a pretty fair point, sure. He then
was asked about the team's continued pursuit of Aaron Rodgers,
who remains unsigned. As Pittsburgh starts. OTA's that's a joke. That,
to me is just a joke. That's a joke now here.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Listen to me.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I'm gonna do a big pharma commercial here about shingles.
You're enough and Joe, what are you gonna do? Bring
him in for one year?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
You kidding me?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
That guy needs to stay in California, go somewhere, chew
on bark and whisper to the gods out there.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Spoken like a man who went to La Tech.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Sure, and he's been calling for uh, he's been calling
for the head of Mike Tomlin for some years.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Seems like Mike Tomlin would probably get hired within three
minutes where he fired by the Steelers. I will say
this as someone who has routinely picked on because of
my glorious, handsome appearance. I'm able to judge these things
the alis. You really are good book, especially with your hair.
I have often pointed out the resting face of Mason
(10:04):
Rudolph has a certain look to it that could maybe
be described by a sound. But since he has grown
his mustache, he is a handsome man who knew all
he needed was some hair on top of his lip.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
So you're saying, I'm sorry, sorry, I called you special,
That's what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Sort of. He just kind of had that look, but
not with the stash.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Well speaking O my god, Mason Rudolph are real Poke
the thunder taking on the Tea Wolves. The thunder win
and they advanced at the NBA Finals and Matt tomorrow
in New York City, it's a must win game for
the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
It is.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Chalmett's going to be there, Spike Lee's gonna be Niler Stiller,
Chalmett Deailer next to each other, Manny Kravitz, Neod Dreadlocks.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
You got a Spike Lee with his weird railroad style
cap looks like it was on the head of the
wolf in the Woody Woodpecker cartoon.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Larry David, It's going to be really special out there. Modine, Yeah,
I sadly Modane having a vision quest. Never in a
million years would have thought I'd find my way to
that spot, Nor do I appreciate that I'm in that spot,
But because my daughter has been in New York for
two years now and has taken to the Knicks, which
I appreciate. Like the team where you live, you want
(11:18):
to drive down, call it Karl Anthony Towns Boulevard, just
in the Gay District.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
You know, it's like, oh, I don't need this in
my life. I don't need the miserable mix in my
life that I want her to be had well and
and the joylessness of any New York That's what I
mean sports fan. You know, for her, she just likes
going to the bar in the neighborhood and everyone's there
and it's great and it's fun. And you know that
making the NBA Finals fun to me seems like bad. Lieutenant.
(11:43):
We'll be right back on a five seventy LA Sports
Trusting Money AM five to seventy LA Sports Live Everywhere
on the iHeart Radio app James Worthy Time, and that's
brought to you by Southern California four Dealers says they

Speaker 3 (12:11):
The NBA Playoffs, Ray John, the people of New York
are crying heavy tears into the Hudson River. He was
at a Memorial Day barbecue with the Great Magic Johnson
with his showtime friends. An all star, a champion of
Hall of Famer is Jersey hangs in the rafters and
(12:33):
he's an Emmy Award winning broadcaster on Spectrum Sports and
at LA. The Immortal James Worthy of our friend joining
us on the Petrossen Money Show as the playoffs continue?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
What's cracking, James?
Speaker 4 (12:45):
How are you all, good man? You know, just watching really,
you know, small market teams, you know, Oklahoma, Indiana. It's
exciting to see, you know, the expansion of some of
these teams, you know, getting this far into the into
the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I'm glad you brought that up before we get into
who opted in and who opted out and what's going
to maybe happen with the Lakers in the next few years.
Charles Barkley, a contemporary of yours, made a bold statement
last night saying, look, the face of the league is Joker.
The face of the league is shake Gilgess Alexander. That
(13:27):
that is who the NBA is. What do you make
of that They're trying to make Anthony Edwards a guy?
Who do you think the modern face of the NBA is?
And and who should it be?
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Well, there's no questions that that Jokic is definitely for
what three m vps uh, and for how he dominates
in the record he sets in so many different categories, scoring, rebound, assists,
and how he enhances everybody. I WI always say he's
like a seven foot one magic job. He knows the
(14:01):
science of the game. Uh. Shay has proven with his
cool demeanor and his you know, maturity, that he has that.
To me, he would be you know, either tied or
second right there, because we're talking about winners. Even though
Oklahoma's never won a championship. Shay just won MVP over
(14:27):
you know. You know some really talented players, I think
the faith of the league when you're going I mean,
Joki just kind of stands alone. But to me, it's
it's gonna be Shay because I think John Morant, Anthony
Edwards have missed their I don't want to say they
missed their opportunity. It's just that they're you know, their
their route of getting there and sometimes their actions. Uh.
(14:51):
You know Anthony Edwards, you know, an Olympian, an Olympic guy,
very confident player. You know, ask who's best player in
the league, and you know he claims himself, Well, you
got to back that up. And right now, being down
three one, you can't tell me that you've got you know,
you can get the face of the league. To me,
(15:11):
it's the guy that's been steady Yoki's you know, you know,
shay Uh those type of players.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I know back in eighty Kareem was in his tenth year.
But you look at the rest of that Laker team
that that won the first title of the era that
you helped dominate James, the Showtime era, and you got
you know, Magic and Norm Nixon and Michael Cooper. These
are young dudes, and you look at this Oklahoma City team.
(15:41):
I know they're not that young, but kind of what
do you think it does for a young team when
they're able to get over that hump and how much
trouble that makes for the rest of the league. Because
this Thunder team's gonna be together for a while now.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
And for what I understand that they got some picks
coming up too. I think, yeah, So when I think
of like when shies out of the game and you
have a guy like Jalen Williams who can come in
and give you thirty four. Okay, Dorrit who's you know,
he's a defensive guy, doesn't give you big numbers, but
(16:16):
he's physical. Yeah, you know, homebroom. You know, these guys
are legitimate, and they have really good chemistry. You know,
Hartenstein's a big, rugged guy in the middle. So they're
they're they're they're they're groomed to be like kind of
(16:36):
like Denver was. Be together for a while, have a
chance to you know, bake their their synergy in and
then you know, they have a really good young coach
and he knows how to make adjustments on the fly,
which is what's given Minnesota a lot of headaches. No Randall, no, no, really, no,
(16:56):
No Edwards really. Uh So that's what I love about
up a seven game series. You know, each game you
can do something to disrupt and then go on and dominating.
That's what Oklahoma's doing. So, yeah, they're going to be
together for a while. I don't know who's gonna win
it this year, but they look damn good against any
teams that's left in the in the NBA. Now, yeah,
(17:19):
Indiana's pretty good. You know, Indiana's pretty good, but I
think Oklahoma to me looks you know.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Strong, they're great.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
James Worthyspoiled is our guest. We love talking to him.
There's nobody better when you get together with the showtime guys.
And it's not just you guys that love to get together.
I think people love to see you guys get together,
like we saw you at Magic's house on Memorial Day
and various parties, Michael Cooper being honored and all those
different things. What do you guys talk about? Do you
(17:50):
talk about beating the Celtics? Do you talk about memories?
What is the topic of conversation where you guys get together,
what you can share?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
We well, first of all, you and I and you
know we we live in houses. Okay, we live in
a house. Magice lives in a palace. So it was
just nice that Magic always it's very thoughtful of his
teammates and friends. He does a numerous number of events
(18:20):
to bring people together. And we had a great time. Man,
And whenever we get together, we do not skip a beat.
It's like we were in the locker room yesterday. We
started telling jokes, we started bringing up stuff that we remember,
We started telling lies on one another, just like the
old days. It's just so much fun. It's so much
(18:41):
love with the Showtime and years and I know other
teams have their chemistry and they but I just don't
think any other order days that I've seen Chicago doesn't
have this type of chemistry. You know, No, I don't
see yeah, man, they they fight and you know, and
(19:01):
cut each other.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Boston does, Scottie so mad.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yeah. I don't see anybody else getting together like this. So,
I mean, I know they're friends, but there's Showtime. Man.
It's just something special about that decade. Man.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I'm now that I've got it pulled up James and
I'm looking at the stats. How about twenty four year
old James Worthy on a team with Magic Johnson, Kareem
Abdul Jabbar, Byron Scott, Michael Cooper, Bob McAdoo. And here's
James Worthy putting in twenty four per game, five boards,
three assists, steal a block, and you're shooting fifty six
(19:38):
percent from the field in the NBA Finals against the
Celtics as a twenty four year old. My god, how
mature you were for so young an age. And I
assume a lot of that is spending all that time
in school with Dean Smith.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Getting to getting the drill work from being getting the
data and then coming to an organization that really didn't
need me per se. You know, they had won championships,
you know. But when I got the opportunity, you know,
and I started to understand that the Celtic rovaly and
they had beaten us the year before, and that was
(20:14):
my first time in the playoffs. And I made that
errant pass and Jerald Henderson stole the ball. We were determined.
And I was determined because you know, I was in
the the third year of my my contract, and I
was like, man, I got to make sure that there
are no trade rumors this year, and so I had
to go to work, man fus. I hated Boston, I
(20:36):
hated the guard and I hated Larry Bird. I hated
you know. I just just just I was ready to go,
and I wanted to prove to my teammates that, you know,
I took rise to the occasion. Man. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I can't help myself, James, just seeing the photo the
barbecue and all the Showtime guys, and thinking about the
Heyday and CBS air in those NBA Finals and the
Lakers Celtic showdowns when they do the retrospectives, Larry Bird
comes off as very likable. His reverence for history seems
like he has a very favorable I guess a set
(21:12):
of emotions towards the Lakers like that as a combatant,
like take us through the like when you see that,
or you're like, he's so full of ass or do
you feel the same way now that you've got all
this distance between those moments.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
No, I think you know, the my contribution to Celtic City,
which I can't know what network it was on, was
I made a statement, you know, we were the best
of the best, and I really believe that in the
in the eighties, you know, the Celtics and the Lakers
created a vibe that was at present, and I think
(21:48):
it was, yeah, you might not like somebody, you might
hate the way we play, but at the end, it's
nothing but respect, you know. And I knew this when
I you know, I saw Kevin McHale that I camemember.
It was a function. We were all together and we
were about forty yards away, and you know, he was
(22:09):
by himself and I was by myself, just standing around,
and I just kept looking over there, and finally I
went over there and we had a bear. We just chatted.
I always loved you know, Cedric Maxwell, and it's just
a respect, you know. We you know, we didn't we
didn't like each other's cities, final didn't liked the way
each other playing. And you know, we didn't speak to
(22:30):
each other during the games like these guys today. Man,
they're like they're having like little reunions on the court.
And so, I mean, we might speak to each other
the off season, not even after the game in the
locker rooms, in the corridors after the season maybe, But
it was just a good rivalry. And yeah, we headed
(22:51):
each other, but it was just a not personally, you
know what I mean, And it was just nothing but respect.
When you play against a series, he's a championship series.
With that, you know, I don't care what's That's why
you know when boxers beat the hell out of each
other and sometimes they can just follow in each other's
arms after the match because they know it's just it's
(23:14):
just mutual respect.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Wonderful stuff. We love it, the Great James Worthy a lot.
We appreciate it, James, and we're glad that you had
a good time on Memorial Day in Magic's Palace. Have
a great day. We'll talk to you. Have a great week, James.
We sure appreciate it all right, now take care, big
thank you to James Worthy. One more segment Dad and
a live guy. Birthday of the day. As we go
(23:36):
to seven o'clock. Well, we appreciate everybody on this. We
just won't be defeated Wednesday. Dodgers off tomorrow after losing today.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Use that Scott him, that's terrible, man, I mean he
is terrible, soft terrible. That's another Andrew Freeman miss. It's
been a rough offseason. I don't think there's any two
ways about it, right, Snell, Scott, Kirby, Yates, Blake, Snell, CONFORDO.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
If it's not for Hay Soong Kim our guy, Hey
song love him and re signing Talescar exactly right. But
even though all of that is, you know, there's a
guy so good for three years.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Bitterness is real. Three years he's been the best reliever
in baseball. We'll have a full show tomorrow. It's the
bright lights.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Big homestand coming on Dodger Stadium, Yankees coming, Met's coming.
We'll be out there on Friday. God wait, crack of
the bat can be heard on five seventy LA Sports.
All the action is right here on the station.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Matt. It is as it always is. You're home of
the World Series Champions. And remember, if you're in the
Greater LA area and you too want to be assaulted
by the arrival of the New York Yankees, understand the
celebration can be heard on that iHeartRadio app if you're
in the Los Angeles Metro markets, so you don't even
(25:01):
have to be by the AM radio Dodgers riding on
the Metro. Hopefully they treat us like dirt because the
Yankees are in town. What are you guys doing here?
Radio show that we always do. Let me see if
you're on the list. I just usually come and show
the pass and the New York's in town. You know
that's that smile becomes a front, it does. That's where
(25:24):
I always park, just right here in this lot where
the media gate is. Yeah, you're gonna have to go
out to lot sixty two. Well that's why I see,
that's why you should do what you like to do, Matt.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Right before you're getting into the gate, you got a
text case.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Where do I park? Park up p R P? Where's that?
Just keep going around.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I remember hating you for loving me. You know, it
looks like the gondol is not gonna get made.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I do like seeing it though on the way in.
It's great. I do love seeing it right there when
I take the long way around the loop instead of
that back road and then cut through the lot k
and perhaps a vagrant used it as al and moved on.
I've been living there for two months. I just crap
in the woods over by the old seventy six tag
a hole, you know, cover it up just like an animal.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
You're dead, guy, birth here the day, Matt of all
the deep Southern syrupy accents we speak, Matt Shelby Foot,
Colonel ingis lsu coach commodore Brian Kelly. Though I am
from Ohio, I have adopted a more genteel Southern attitude.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Emily, you are not a family this guy. I believe, Matt.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
If you're going to talk about the deepest, sweetest, most proper,
condescending sugar caneiest Southern quetne.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
It would come from this man. Okay, who do we got?
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Confederate General General PGT. Beauregard, Pierre Gustave Teuton Beauregald two
hundred and seven years old today from Louisiana, born in
a sugar cane plantation near New Orleans. A Creole man,
so they called him the Black General. Wait a minute,
(27:19):
what was he creole? You mean creole?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Correct?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
This isn't that month, Get it correct. I can't tell you,
you know, Matt, Sometimes I can't tell if you like
it or not. Beauregard went to West Point, nickname little
Creole or Frenchie.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I like a good frenchie. Was wounded in.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
The Mexican American War twice shoulder and thigh, double up Chapta,
one of the first Americans to enter Mexico City, and
was very proud. Went back to New Orleans as an
army engineer. Was the superintendent of West Point after he
(28:05):
ran for a mayor in New Orleans and lost narrowly.
How long was he a superintendent of West Point?
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Five days? Five days? Because the Civil War broke out.
They said, you know what, you can't be the freaking
guy anymore, you trader, trader to your nation. He went, uh.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
And then he was in charge of Fort Sumter against
his old West Point instructor Anderson. And when the war started,
the first bull Run He was a Stonewall Jackson like
star in the newspapers, a man who they say verged
on hysteria, but acted chiefly as a dime novel general,
(28:46):
more of a hype man, so to speak, going up, well,
they didn't have dime stores in his time novel, so
he would go up and down the lines and be like, sah, sir,
fight for your contrasts a.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Sa. Chivalry is alive with a car sah.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
He did originally designed the first Confederate battle flag, the
stars and bars like the dukes. He did it because
people were getting confused with the flags in battle. The
first Confederate flag look a lot like the American flag,
and they're like, sah, that is not all flag. Saw,
there's confusion here.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Sah.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
But it was more pink than red the one he
made because he got material for a bunch of chicks dresses.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
It is all I had, they allow. I did not
want the Paul Meto to fly any long ago.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Though he was a political liability in Virginia. They're like,
we got to get rid of this guy. In a
syrupy accent. They sent him to Tennessee and he got
beat up pretty good in Shiloh given Grant the victory.
After Johnson was killed, bad decision. People hated for him
save Grant because Grant could have been finished. After that,
(30:05):
Grant became the biggest star.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Of the North.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
After that, they sent him back to Charleston, where he
got eaten up by Sherman. When Sherman was moving across
the South, he warned the guys up in Richmond, like, hey,
so he is moving quite swiftly throughout the territory, sah.
And they were like, nobody could move that fast, sir.
Here's a coming, sir, I see the dust a raisin.
(30:35):
Joe Johnson surrendered at Bennett Place in North Carolina. Bobby Lee.
After all of that, did convince Beauregard to take the
oath of loyalty to the North. He was pardoned, went
back to engineering and then created the first cable car
in the city of New Orleans, the same one they
(30:55):
ride today, the street car named Desire. You can get
on that car and hold your saber aloft like you're
about to get your butt. Hand it to you and
Shiloh and go.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I saw that car park just outside Dodger Stadium, and
I was making parked right there you know.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
What, it's a floating cable car. Our French General of
Today Frank McCort, more of an Irishman than a Frenchman,
but a creole, although he does have.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
It, behaves like a fresh a creole like Tan and here.
You're a live guy as your Dobro show of record,
Bro Doro. That is the guitar with a giant circular
steel plate on the body. A resident.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
It was a guitar with very thick eyebrows, and it's
hard to the fingerwork is hard because it has a
cigarette stick it out of its mouth.
Speaker 2 (31:47):

Five blown saves and we're not out of May yet

(01:27):
It's very late May. It's still May. Dustin May pitch
well yesterday, Dodgers Yankees Clayton Kershaw deserves that victory. On
his soon to be Hall of Fame resume.

All of the uh accoutremont that earns many other airlines
extra dollars is now part of Southwest's m O.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, but it's still got the heart on the bottoms.
And without the heart, it's just a machine, right, and
I think that machine's got a heart. It's not a
final hour of fun.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Fact, it's fun in effect. It's yeah, we're three fun.
Speaker 4 (03:29):

Speaker 2 (03:30):
I'm good with Southwest because they fly at a long
beach and that makes me very happy. Well, there you go, Kate,

remember Bill Ryder had the hangover remedy commercial. That's right,
no hangover. It's the reason I'm not hungover today, and
I love Lens and I dragged a bunch of whiskey
last night sending it. But I'm not hungover because of
(04:52):
this stuff, sir.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
In the Winston Churchill three por biography set quick Hits.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Everybody make it quick, y'all?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, that change into the guard This afternoon in Ohio,
the Dodgers got the script flipped on the face and
they went down to the Cleveland Guardian. Today in Cleveland,
seven to four, Tanner Scott blew another save.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Blew it again.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
He gave up four runs in the eighth, his fifth
blown save of the year. Already for Tanner Scott, there
have been calls for him to shave and reveal his
fat face.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Scott kicks and deals, swinging the ground ball through the
whole left side of base.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Hit.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
One run comes in, Here comes the tying run around third.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
It's four to four. Noel scored, and then Wilson scored.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
The tiet Tanners Scott had him on the ropes with
two strikes, and he gives up an opposite field single
and it's.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
A brand new ball game here in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Bedrock chest on Clayton Kershaw, though he deserved better. His
chest was hard, unscoopable. He went five innings, only gave
up one run on six hits, swung on and driven.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
To left and deep. This ball is back and this
ball is gone.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
I'm hell Martinez breach Alex Bessio with a three run
and the Guardians wait at seven to four.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Way to go, Bessia. Dodgers finished the road trip three
and three. That thing was a tater.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
They now return home for a seven game homestand three
versus the Yankees, four versus the Mets, and we sure
are excited about that. On Am five seventy, you're home
of the Dodgs. We're going out there, man, that's how
excited we are. We've been sent back to Dodger Stadium
for the second time in as many weeks, and that
is unheard of since the arrival of Shohei o Tani.
I only hope we are not met with a Kurt
(06:46):
attitude when we try to take our rightful spot well
in our former also feels a little bit like you're
trying to speak a con conflicting conflict into existence.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
He's planting the farious seat.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
A little bit, little like that. The Angels are four
under five hundred. They've lost four in a row after
their seven game win streak. Oh, you always seem so
brad before.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
We all knew what that lodge was. It's nothing but
new carpet and a paint show. Oh, come on, Matt,
the bones were still.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
It was the Firefest, yes, or the sweet Step and
repeat as soon as you got around the corner.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The fry Fest. It was terrible. So we're now in
an era. Oh look at this is a Kate special.
You know when it starts like that, We're now in
an era.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, we're NFL reporters keep track of OTA workouts and
player performance. Shader Sanders had a really good day at
OTAs Cleveland Round Brown's fifth round pick had the best
performance among the team's four quarterbacks on Wednesday, according to ESPN.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Well they are invested was this mel hyper beat reporter
for the Browns now.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Seven or nine, three tds, no picks in throwing reps
during team drills. Team's other signal callers were well off
his pace. Dylan Gabriel was eleven for sixteen, two touchdowns
and one pick.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
He sucks. Probably a good time to point out that,
per the Collective Bargaining Agreement, you are not allowed to
have any contact between players during OTAs, so while corners
are working on their mirroring skills. Yeah, but could let
me explain something to you, man, They cannot make any contact.
Pass rush.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Okay, you got to contend with that wicked NFL pass
rush coming right down the d, right down the D,
right the urethra.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You know what it looks like. Why you thought Baylor
was tough bow p I would describe the pass rush
as Wednesday night dollar rolling rocks at denim and diamonds,
where we've got a choreograph dance out there on the floor.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I've seen more pushing in the men's room. Well, we'll
see your day for Shador. ESPN said's okay, way to go.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I believe he has the inside track to be the starter. Yeah,
for sure, for sure, Hall of Fame. I'm Terry.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Bradshaw didn't mince words when asked about the steelers lack
of successive quarterback in recent years. He said it's a
failure of the Steelers to put a good offense around
the quarterback. That's a pretty fair point, sure. He then
was asked about the team's continued pursuit of Aaron Rodgers,
who remains unsigned. As Pittsburgh starts. OTA's that's a joke. That,
to me is just a joke. That's a joke now here.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Listen to me.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I'm gonna do a big pharma commercial here about shingles.
You're enough and Joe, what are you gonna do? Bring
him in for one year?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
You kidding me?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
That guy needs to stay in California, go somewhere, chew
on bark and whisper to the gods out there.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Spoken like a man who went to La Tech.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Sure, and he's been calling for uh, he's been calling
for the head of Mike Tomlin for some years.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Seems like Mike Tomlin would probably get hired within three
minutes where he fired by the Steelers. I will say
this as someone who has routinely picked on because of
my glorious, handsome appearance. I'm able to judge these things
the alis. You really are good book, especially with your hair.
I have often pointed out the resting face of Mason
(10:04):
Rudolph has a certain look to it that could maybe
be described by a sound. But since he has grown
his mustache, he is a handsome man who knew all
he needed was some hair on top of his lip.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
So you're saying, I'm sorry, sorry, I called you special,
That's what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Sort of. He just kind of had that look, but
not with the stash.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Well speaking O my god, Mason Rudolph are real Poke
the thunder taking on the Tea Wolves. The thunder win
and they advanced at the NBA Finals and Matt tomorrow
in New York City, it's a must win game for
the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
It is.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Chalmett's going to be there, Spike Lee's gonna be Niler Stiller,
Chalmett Deailer next to each other, Manny Kravitz, Neod Dreadlocks.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
You got a Spike Lee with his weird railroad style
cap looks like it was on the head of the
wolf in the Woody Woodpecker cartoon.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Larry David, It's going to be really special out there. Modine, Yeah,
I sadly Modane having a vision quest. Never in a
million years would have thought I'd find my way to
that spot, Nor do I appreciate that I'm in that spot,
But because my daughter has been in New York for
two years now and has taken to the Knicks, which
I appreciate. Like the team where you live, you want
(11:18):
to drive down, call it Karl Anthony Towns Boulevard, just
in the Gay District.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
You know, it's like, oh, I don't need this in
my life. I don't need the miserable mix in my
life that I want her to be had well and
and the joylessness of any New York That's what I
mean sports fan. You know, for her, she just likes
going to the bar in the neighborhood and everyone's there
and it's great and it's fun. And you know that
making the NBA Finals fun to me seems like bad. Lieutenant.
(11:43):
We'll be right back on a five seventy LA Sports
Trusting Money AM five to seventy LA Sports Live Everywhere
on the iHeart Radio app James Worthy Time, and that's
brought to you by Southern California four Dealers says they
are offering employee price seen on all fods. You pay
what Ford employees pay. Get into your Southern California for Dealers,
(12:04):

Speaker 3 (12:11):
The NBA Playoffs, Ray John, the people of New York
are crying heavy tears into the Hudson River. He was
at a Memorial Day barbecue with the Great Magic Johnson
with his showtime friends. An all star, a champion of
Hall of Famer is Jersey hangs in the rafters and
(12:33):
he's an Emmy Award winning broadcaster on Spectrum Sports and
at LA. The Immortal James Worthy of our friend joining
us on the Petrossen Money Show as the playoffs continue?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
What's cracking, James?
Speaker 4 (12:45):
How are you all, good man? You know, just watching really,
you know, small market teams, you know, Oklahoma, Indiana. It's
exciting to see, you know, the expansion of some of
these teams, you know, getting this far into the into
the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I'm glad you brought that up before we get into
who opted in and who opted out and what's going
to maybe happen with the Lakers in the next few years.
Charles Barkley, a contemporary of yours, made a bold statement
last night saying, look, the face of the league is Joker.
The face of the league is shake Gilgess Alexander. That
(13:27):
that is who the NBA is. What do you make
of that They're trying to make Anthony Edwards a guy?
Who do you think the modern face of the NBA is?
And and who should it be?
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Well, there's no questions that that Jokic is definitely for
what three m vps uh, and for how he dominates
in the record he sets in so many different categories, scoring, rebound, assists,
and how he enhances everybody. I WI always say he's
like a seven foot one magic job. He knows the
(14:01):
science of the game. Uh. Shay has proven with his
cool demeanor and his you know, maturity, that he has that.
To me, he would be you know, either tied or
second right there, because we're talking about winners. Even though
Oklahoma's never won a championship. Shay just won MVP over
(14:27):
you know. You know some really talented players, I think
the faith of the league when you're going I mean,
Joki just kind of stands alone. But to me, it's
it's gonna be Shay because I think John Morant, Anthony
Edwards have missed their I don't want to say they
missed their opportunity. It's just that they're you know, their
their route of getting there and sometimes their actions. Uh.
(14:51):
You know Anthony Edwards, you know, an Olympian, an Olympic guy,
very confident player. You know, ask who's best player in
the league, and you know he claims himself, Well, you
got to back that up. And right now, being down
three one, you can't tell me that you've got you know,
you can get the face of the league. To me,
(15:11):
it's the guy that's been steady Yoki's you know, you know,
shay Uh those type of players.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I know back in eighty Kareem was in his tenth year.
But you look at the rest of that Laker team
that that won the first title of the era that
you helped dominate James, the Showtime era, and you got
you know, Magic and Norm Nixon and Michael Cooper. These
are young dudes, and you look at this Oklahoma City team.
(15:41):
I know they're not that young, but kind of what
do you think it does for a young team when
they're able to get over that hump and how much
trouble that makes for the rest of the league. Because
this Thunder team's gonna be together for a while now.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
And for what I understand that they got some picks
coming up too. I think, yeah, So when I think
of like when shies out of the game and you
have a guy like Jalen Williams who can come in
and give you thirty four. Okay, Dorrit who's you know,
he's a defensive guy, doesn't give you big numbers, but
(16:16):
he's physical. Yeah, you know, homebroom. You know, these guys
are legitimate, and they have really good chemistry. You know,
Hartenstein's a big, rugged guy in the middle. So they're
they're they're they're they're groomed to be like kind of
(16:36):
like Denver was. Be together for a while, have a
chance to you know, bake their their synergy in and
then you know, they have a really good young coach
and he knows how to make adjustments on the fly,
which is what's given Minnesota a lot of headaches. No Randall, no, no, really, no,
(16:56):
No Edwards really. Uh So that's what I love about
up a seven game series. You know, each game you
can do something to disrupt and then go on and dominating.
That's what Oklahoma's doing. So, yeah, they're going to be
together for a while. I don't know who's gonna win
it this year, but they look damn good against any
teams that's left in the in the NBA. Now, yeah,
(17:19):
Indiana's pretty good. You know, Indiana's pretty good, but I
think Oklahoma to me looks you know.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Strong, they're great.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
James Worthyspoiled is our guest. We love talking to him.
There's nobody better when you get together with the showtime guys.
And it's not just you guys that love to get together.
I think people love to see you guys get together,
like we saw you at Magic's house on Memorial Day
and various parties, Michael Cooper being honored and all those
different things. What do you guys talk about? Do you
(17:50):
talk about beating the Celtics? Do you talk about memories?
What is the topic of conversation where you guys get together,
what you can share?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
We well, first of all, you and I and you
know we we live in houses. Okay, we live in
a house. Magice lives in a palace. So it was
just nice that Magic always it's very thoughtful of his
teammates and friends. He does a numerous number of events
(18:20):
to bring people together. And we had a great time. Man,
And whenever we get together, we do not skip a beat.
It's like we were in the locker room yesterday. We
started telling jokes, we started bringing up stuff that we remember,
We started telling lies on one another, just like the
old days. It's just so much fun. It's so much
(18:41):
love with the Showtime and years and I know other
teams have their chemistry and they but I just don't
think any other order days that I've seen Chicago doesn't
have this type of chemistry. You know, No, I don't
see yeah, man, they they fight and you know, and
(19:01):
cut each other.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Boston does, Scottie so mad.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yeah. I don't see anybody else getting together like this. So,
I mean, I know they're friends, but there's Showtime. Man.
It's just something special about that decade. Man.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I'm now that I've got it pulled up James and
I'm looking at the stats. How about twenty four year
old James Worthy on a team with Magic Johnson, Kareem
Abdul Jabbar, Byron Scott, Michael Cooper, Bob McAdoo. And here's
James Worthy putting in twenty four per game, five boards,
three assists, steal a block, and you're shooting fifty six
(19:38):
percent from the field in the NBA Finals against the
Celtics as a twenty four year old. My god, how
mature you were for so young an age. And I
assume a lot of that is spending all that time
in school with Dean Smith.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Getting to getting the drill work from being getting the
data and then coming to an organization that really didn't
need me per se. You know, they had won championships,
you know. But when I got the opportunity, you know,
and I started to understand that the Celtic rovaly and
they had beaten us the year before, and that was
(20:14):
my first time in the playoffs. And I made that
errant pass and Jerald Henderson stole the ball. We were determined.
And I was determined because you know, I was in
the the third year of my my contract, and I
was like, man, I got to make sure that there
are no trade rumors this year, and so I had
to go to work, man fus. I hated Boston, I
(20:36):
hated the guard and I hated Larry Bird. I hated
you know. I just just just I was ready to go,
and I wanted to prove to my teammates that, you know,
I took rise to the occasion. Man. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I can't help myself, James, just seeing the photo the
barbecue and all the Showtime guys, and thinking about the
Heyday and CBS air in those NBA Finals and the
Lakers Celtic showdowns when they do the retrospectives, Larry Bird
comes off as very likable. His reverence for history seems
like he has a very favorable I guess a set
(21:12):
of emotions towards the Lakers like that as a combatant,
like take us through the like when you see that,
or you're like, he's so full of ass or do
you feel the same way now that you've got all
this distance between those moments.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
No, I think you know, the my contribution to Celtic City,
which I can't know what network it was on, was
I made a statement, you know, we were the best
of the best, and I really believe that in the
in the eighties, you know, the Celtics and the Lakers
created a vibe that was at present, and I think
(21:48):
it was, yeah, you might not like somebody, you might
hate the way we play, but at the end, it's
nothing but respect, you know. And I knew this when
I you know, I saw Kevin McHale that I camemember.
It was a function. We were all together and we
were about forty yards away, and you know, he was
(22:09):
by himself and I was by myself, just standing around,
and I just kept looking over there, and finally I
went over there and we had a bear. We just chatted.
I always loved you know, Cedric Maxwell, and it's just
a respect, you know. We you know, we didn't we
didn't like each other's cities, final didn't liked the way
each other playing. And you know, we didn't speak to
(22:30):
each other during the games like these guys today. Man,
they're like they're having like little reunions on the court.
And so, I mean, we might speak to each other
the off season, not even after the game in the
locker rooms, in the corridors after the season maybe, But
it was just a good rivalry. And yeah, we headed
(22:51):
each other, but it was just a not personally, you
know what I mean, And it was just nothing but respect.
When you play against a series, he's a championship series.
With that, you know, I don't care what's That's why
you know when boxers beat the hell out of each
other and sometimes they can just follow in each other's
arms after the match because they know it's just it's
(23:14):
just mutual respect.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Wonderful stuff. We love it, the Great James Worthy a lot.
We appreciate it, James, and we're glad that you had
a good time on Memorial Day in Magic's Palace. Have
a great day. We'll talk to you. Have a great week, James.
We sure appreciate it all right, now take care, big
thank you to James Worthy. One more segment Dad and
a live guy. Birthday of the day. As we go
(23:36):
to seven o'clock. Well, we appreciate everybody on this. We
just won't be defeated Wednesday. Dodgers off tomorrow after losing today.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Use that Scott him, that's terrible, man, I mean he
is terrible, soft terrible. That's another Andrew Freeman miss. It's
been a rough offseason. I don't think there's any two
ways about it, right, Snell, Scott, Kirby, Yates, Blake, Snell, CONFORDO.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
If it's not for Hay Soong Kim our guy, Hey
song love him and re signing Talescar exactly right. But
even though all of that is, you know, there's a
guy so good for three years.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Bitterness is real. Three years he's been the best reliever
in baseball. We'll have a full show tomorrow. It's the
bright lights.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Big homestand coming on Dodger Stadium, Yankees coming, Met's coming.
We'll be out there on Friday. God wait, crack of
the bat can be heard on five seventy LA Sports.
All the action is right here on the station.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Matt. It is as it always is. You're home of
the World Series Champions. And remember, if you're in the
Greater LA area and you too want to be assaulted
by the arrival of the New York Yankees, understand the
celebration can be heard on that iHeartRadio app if you're
in the Los Angeles Metro markets, so you don't even
(25:01):
have to be by the AM radio Dodgers riding on
the Metro. Hopefully they treat us like dirt because the
Yankees are in town. What are you guys doing here?
Radio show that we always do. Let me see if
you're on the list. I just usually come and show
the pass and the New York's in town. You know
that's that smile becomes a front, it does. That's where
(25:24):
I always park, just right here in this lot where
the media gate is. Yeah, you're gonna have to go
out to lot sixty two. Well that's why I see,
that's why you should do what you like to do, Matt.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Right before you're getting into the gate, you got a
text case.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Where do I park? Park up p R P? Where's that?
Just keep going around.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I remember hating you for loving me. You know, it
looks like the gondol is not gonna get made.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I do like seeing it though on the way in.
It's great. I do love seeing it right there when
I take the long way around the loop instead of
that back road and then cut through the lot k
and perhaps a vagrant used it as al and moved on.
I've been living there for two months. I just crap
in the woods over by the old seventy six tag
a hole, you know, cover it up just like an animal.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
You're dead, guy, birth here the day, Matt of all
the deep Southern syrupy accents we speak, Matt Shelby Foot,
Colonel ingis lsu coach commodore Brian Kelly. Though I am
from Ohio, I have adopted a more genteel Southern attitude.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Emily, you are not a family this guy. I believe, Matt.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
If you're going to talk about the deepest, sweetest, most proper,
condescending sugar caneiest Southern quetne.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
It would come from this man. Okay, who do we got?
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Confederate General General PGT. Beauregard, Pierre Gustave Teuton Beauregald two
hundred and seven years old today from Louisiana, born in
a sugar cane plantation near New Orleans. A Creole man,
so they called him the Black General. Wait a minute,
(27:19):
what was he creole? You mean creole?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Correct?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
This isn't that month, Get it correct. I can't tell you,
you know, Matt, Sometimes I can't tell if you like
it or not. Beauregard went to West Point, nickname little
Creole or Frenchie.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I like a good frenchie. Was wounded in.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
The Mexican American War twice shoulder and thigh, double up Chapta,
one of the first Americans to enter Mexico City, and
was very proud. Went back to New Orleans as an
army engineer. Was the superintendent of West Point after he
(28:05):
ran for a mayor in New Orleans and lost narrowly.
How long was he a superintendent of West Point?
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Five days? Five days? Because the Civil War broke out.
They said, you know what, you can't be the freaking
guy anymore, you trader, trader to your nation. He went, uh.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
And then he was in charge of Fort Sumter against
his old West Point instructor Anderson. And when the war started,
the first bull Run He was a Stonewall Jackson like
star in the newspapers, a man who they say verged
on hysteria, but acted chiefly as a dime novel general,
(28:46):
more of a hype man, so to speak, going up, well,
they didn't have dime stores in his time novel, so
he would go up and down the lines and be like, sah, sir,
fight for your contrasts a.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Sa. Chivalry is alive with a car sah.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
He did originally designed the first Confederate battle flag, the
stars and bars like the dukes. He did it because
people were getting confused with the flags in battle. The
first Confederate flag look a lot like the American flag,
and they're like, sah, that is not all flag. Saw,
there's confusion here.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Sah.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
But it was more pink than red the one he
made because he got material for a bunch of chicks dresses.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
It is all I had, they allow. I did not
want the Paul Meto to fly any long ago.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Though he was a political liability in Virginia. They're like,
we got to get rid of this guy. In a
syrupy accent. They sent him to Tennessee and he got
beat up pretty good in Shiloh given Grant the victory.
After Johnson was killed, bad decision. People hated for him
save Grant because Grant could have been finished. After that,
(30:05):
Grant became the biggest star.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Of the North.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
After that, they sent him back to Charleston, where he
got eaten up by Sherman. When Sherman was moving across
the South, he warned the guys up in Richmond, like, hey,
so he is moving quite swiftly throughout the territory, sah.
And they were like, nobody could move that fast, sir.
Here's a coming, sir, I see the dust a raisin.
(30:35):
Joe Johnson surrendered at Bennett Place in North Carolina. Bobby Lee.
After all of that, did convince Beauregard to take the
oath of loyalty to the North. He was pardoned, went
back to engineering and then created the first cable car
in the city of New Orleans, the same one they
(30:55):
ride today, the street car named Desire. You can get
on that car and hold your saber aloft like you're
about to get your butt. Hand it to you and
Shiloh and go.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I saw that car park just outside Dodger Stadium, and
I was making parked right there you know.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
What, it's a floating cable car. Our French General of
Today Frank McCort, more of an Irishman than a Frenchman,
but a creole, although he does have.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
It, behaves like a fresh a creole like Tan and here.
