Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah they do. There are money making opportunities for an

opportunities for the franchise, like the.

(01:42):
long Petroson Money for those of you that thirst for
a Petroson Money. Remote in a while, when we're at
Dodger Stadium, we don't really get to interact with people.
Were either interviewing players down on the field or in
the special nobody's allowed in media room.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
If you're in the band air supply, we're going to
interact with you. Yeah, well outside of that, I've seen
that guy in years either.

But the point is we will be back with the
people a week from.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Tomorrow Downy BJ's Restaurant in brew House. Like you said,
it's been at least a month. We assume we'll have
a slew of giveaways.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
It's been like six weeks, Matt, were we out in
Crito's or someplace like that. Recently we really blew up.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Oh No, Montabello, Manabeo. That was a great moment. Was
it was so good. We had to take six weeks
off so as to distance the remotes to honor our
friends in Mountebello. For now we go back to Downey,
So Downey on Friday, Dodger tickets, BJ's rest Winner brew
House gifted Friday one week from Friday today, Downey Hunday,
(02:43):
Dave and Alex Vessia a week from tomorrow, Petros and
Money back at the Downy Bjays. We've been there before.
Tight quarters, a real separation between church and state. We're
up in the bar area and it's raised above the restaurant.
Sometimes the restaurant tours kind of look up at us
wondering what's going on, But.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Just really depends. The one time we had really great
attendance there are Pa broke and it was one of
the terrible moments in the history of the show. It's
like Dunkirk so for us, and now we're headed back
and we shall see how it goes.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
We want to see you there. We do, and we
have stuff to give away, so that should be. And
like you said, two o'clock start, early start. That's a
flex alert, flex alert two o'clock to five thirty.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
So make your schedule, you downy hot rod types, you
nineteen fifties greaser surf rockers, Hatfield.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Did we reach out to Headfield? I Carley? Did we
reach out to I Carley.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Miranda Costgrove, the Downy High Vikings, the Warren Bears. We
hope to see you there, and if you can't make it,
at least listen to the show, live stream it or
podcast it on the iHeartRadio app. Now this is today
(04:11):
and tomorrow will be the two five. I don't know
if this is an answer to competition in town or
what the deal is, but today and tomorrow is going
to be the last two days in our studio before
before the big remodel.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
We just lamented our twenty plus year old TV, the
VHS that was attached to it, the DVD player that
nearly killed our producer Tim Kates when he tried to
unplug it because of a power search. His right index
finger is still numb, no feeling whatsoever. So the engineering
department said, all right, we're tearing this whole place up,
(04:51):
so they're going to take it down to the studs
a total makeover. Are they taking it down to the studs?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Is that what they told you?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
We're going to move a couple of walls. I'm gonna
pop this one out, Okay, put a bay window in.
I'm gonna get some nice playing you like a breakfast nook.
Nice nook. But yeah, we've been told her out of
here for a month.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
So that means and I know that people don't care
about this, but we do. And this is some serious
housekeeping that has to be done. We have our Santa
Anita calendar, no, our Crito's calendar, our Crito's proclamation, our
City of Irvine commendation, our black Sex position Capricorn poster.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Our door, our door and are gong and our Tarantula
Hill movie poster.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
From the PMS photoshop bandit and our no food in
the Studio sign. All of those things, like the twelve
Tribes of Israel leaving Egypt?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Is that merman? That is a merman? I can move that.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, all of those things have to be picked up,
like the twelve tribes and moved out of Egypt. And
do we have a plan for that? Tim, I mean
you're kind of in charge of everything around here.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
No plan. Did you mention the door? I'm sorry? Yes, okay,
you mentioned that, the big one. Well, that's gonna take
two or three of it.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Like well, when you think about how they carried Han
Solo's body out when they froze.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Harbonite, Yeah, you know what, I think it floated, To
be honest with you, Yeah, that's how we're gonna do it.
I got the pinchers. The pinchers are gonna grab and
it just slides down the hallway.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Where do we put the door?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
It's like a door in Monsters, inc. I think we
put in our office, okay, even though we haven't occupied
the office in years.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
And everything else. The gong, where does the gong go?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
The gong can go in the office. To the office
is pretty clean. I think the gong should go in
your studio. We need to we can bring it in
because like we're gonna have to gong it out and
it's plus you want to take it to the rub
and tub? No, okay, hey, lizard, look what I can do.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I don't need the Gong.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Do you guys have any recommendations? I was asked just
a few minutes ago if the guys have any suggestions
for the studio. I think they like in their.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Well, like considering that we had this same TV for
twenty years.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I think they're gonna I think monitors are going on
the wall. Yeah, right, it would be great. I believe
the remodel is going to look like Kfi when they
put all the TV they got, like the four TV's
on the wall.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Arm monitors are still going to be TV tubes They're
gonna be It's just huge, like a giant wall.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
The dial that you have to change the channel?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
No, what, what do you know anything? Kates? Do you
is there anything that you know that we don't know?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
No?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Would you like maybe electrical outlets closer so you can
charge your phones and laptops easier so you're not stretched
across the floor, and then get a bigger window, bigger window. Yep, No, No,
can't do that. What Matt said they were going to
pop out the wall. I thought we were taking it
down to the studs. Only three of the four walls
are going down to the studs. This wall is not
that's for certain the key note. I'm the only one
(07:45):
that gets to have the view of Ronnie, and I
want Petros to have that view as well.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Well. If Ronnie moves his head, I can see.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Him when he leans over hard left.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah, I could see him. I mean, we've been doing
the show in this room for twenty years and it
seems to have been working out okay. But anyway, there
is going to be a redo of our studio. I'd
like a better use of that space. Matt and I
are going to be like Romany gypsies, sent out into
the cold and damp, and we'll be doing the shows
(08:15):
from home and from what remote studios here in the area.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
That is not confirmed yet. We were told today. We
were accosted by engineers today and told you guys gonna
be doing the show from home for the next month. Kate, Yeah,
I don't know what's happening exactly. They're working on the
connections between different studios here in the building. But Matt,
I agree with you. That is a lot of empty
vat space over here in the un and that's the
size of a studio apartment in Manhattan, right and it's
doing nothing except for sucking up half of our TV
(08:43):
that we can't see. We could put a shower head there, right,
let's do that. I wouldn't mind a nice shower. Do
you show exactly? Do you guys want a higher desk?
Do you like the lower sit down desk? What do
you guys prefer? Oh the one that moves, Oh, the
one that goes.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Up and down?
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Ooh?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Can I get a treadmill? I want to be able
to jog? Gotcha? I want to be I want one
of them walking treadmills so I can walk while I'm
doing the work.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Matt's jogging showering. It's become Jim Harbaugh's speaking office here.
But anyway, that is a little bit of news. As
far as our schedule goes. Today, we have Cliff Floyd.
He's gonna talk some baseball with us from the MLB
Network MLB Tonight, Cliff Floyd, the Great outfielder, will join us.
Always an interesting conversation about baseball and national Baseball conversation.
(09:30):
And then we'll have three things. Thursday, we will have
Billy Zay.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Look at this a rare in studio gaes. The early
days of the Petros and Money Show were littered with
in studio guys.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
And the whole station. You know, radio was different. Day
kind of feels that way. You got Spencer Pratz soaka
La Masuda down the hall.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Just hanging out in the KFI green room, which is
just they took out cubicles and call it a green
room with Share sitting in.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
A folding chair in the middle of an empty room.
It looks like the.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Parallax view over this. It's quite depressing.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Well.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Yeah, radio used to be part of the car wash
when when people were coming out with a new movie
or a new album, they would go into their local
radio stations and here's what flash, he's got the snake
pit coming out.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
We got a lot going on though. Today night we
got we got Billy's Am.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Billy Freaking Zane is coming in studio because he's got
a new film.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He'd become his new vehicle of promotion, right Billy Billy's
ain't trusts us?
Speaker 4 (10:31):
You know, Takeover is coming out with Quavo. Could he
have gone on a zoom with Lebron, Sure, but instead
he's coming on the Petrosen Money Show at five thirty PM.
He's gonna be in seasons. In season two a stick
which is a ti tim Cats Show, Big Hit on
Apple TV with Owen Wilson.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
And that's the guy who said you should listen to
your friend.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Billy's a right old friends Owen and Bill walk So
he's got a movie coming out Friday, that would be
tomorrow the eighth, and then he's got the season two
A Stick. I don't know if that's been announced when
it's coming back yet, but it's a guy that's making
moves around town, all right, and he's coming to the
petros In Money Show to pedal his wares, and we
feel pretty damn important.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
This will be the last thing he sees. This studio
is going to be the last great actor we've had
Harry Hamlin here we have. This will be the last
great actor that's inside this studio until us Matt says,
they rip it down to the studs.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Charlie Murphy was here for an hour. That was a
funny hour. It was a hilarious hour. So we're gonna
keep him for a second. I think we have not.
I think we have to.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Well, we will have Billy zaying on, who's a good
talker in the five o'clock hour. We'll try not to
ask her about sports because he is a.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Thespian, yes, classically trained a Thespians that's very serious about
his acting. Now, I do have terrible news for you, Matt,
and this is part of ourrible news is our our
studio is being shut down. Well and even worse is
Spencer Pratt's not coming on. I'm sure we would if
we want to, So let's get him. I was just
talking Dodgers with him in the hall. Oh yeah, No.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
This is bad news though, Matt, because you know, and
it does speak to the fact that we kind of
you know, Matt and I started this show twenty years ago,
and we've always worked here, and one of us is
under contract and then the other one, you know, they're
they're they're uh tiered contracts. So when my contract's up,
Matt still got a year and then, you know, so
(12:25):
we work here. We are not independently wealthy like with
the show, to where we could just buy stuff for
the show like these YouTube guys like I'm gonna buy
a big foot and making a boat. You know, we don't.
We don't have that kind of financial and we are
we are not nimble financially like some other even great
(12:46):
sports talk radio shows.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Not great sports talk great sports.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Talk, but other sports talk radio shows. So Matt often
pipe dreams as if we were going to make the money. Well, no,
not just how we're gonna make the money, but we
should buy this, we should buy that. Matt's often pipe
dreaming with terrible ideas.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
I take offense to that you should maybe because some
of them are great.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
You think of yourself as an idea mass some of
them are terrible. None of these some of them are
None of these ideas have ever come to fruition. And
if we were say the Pat McAfee show or Barstool.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yeah, then you bet your ass Olympic Village, the reality
show is being made.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Or Busting with the Boys, you know, any of these.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
You know, these guys that were just local AM radio
has acts, right, So we don't have that ability. And
here is a great example of the fact that we
don't have that ability. Yesterday a story breaks that they're
selling off the blue turf of Boise State. Now they
are selling off big chunks, little chunks, chunks and rings.
(13:49):
Someone abought four hundred square feet.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
For their whole backyard, right, And Matt was like, and
it ties in with what we're doing today.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
We're doing the remodel. Let's see if they want to
use the turf for our floor. Would make sense, great,
great conversation piece. Right, We're twenty years as the Show
of record, the sports show of Record in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I've done at least twelve Boise State Bronco games over
the year.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
I've done one, It's quite a while ago, but still one.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I know Chris Peterson's phone number. Kate's likes the idea
of Boise.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
We all do.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Being white people, right, I don't we love Boise And
Matt was like, we should do this and I was like,
since Matt thought that they would donate it to us, sure,
because we're great sports talk ohay.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
In southern California recruiting right makes sense.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Today I saw first thing in the morning the barstool
big Cat announce that he has already purchased a big
chunk of the ten yard line and it is going
to be installed in their office in July. Because they
(15:02):
have the financial dexterity.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
We're idea then with no follow through exactly, and that's
what they have that if we called somebody at the
barstools sports book, that brings them millions upon millions of
dollars right, and ill advised wagers from their listening audience.
So they can just say, well, we don't need to
reach out to the athletic department. We we'll just buy it.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
All we ask from our listening audience is maybe every
once in a while they buy themselves some chicken fingers
in a BJ Right. Our show is for free. We
don't try to fleece your gambling addiction. But anyway, Yes,
I just wanted to show. But doesn't it show you,
matt that we lack the financial ability. We're not nimble
(15:50):
enough to buy the del taco in Barstow. We're not
giving us that we're not nimble enough.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
We just want one.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
We're just not no to travel to sochi or check
the check man. We really are check the check to
check to check operation. Now, we got this gong for
free during the pandemic talimomited dot com Gong's unlimited in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
You're wearing a Strew shirt that was free. Yeah, I'm
wearing a Travis Matthew polo. This was free when we
got our that the sex poster was free. Yeah, our
commonertificate of recognition, Yeah, commendation. But it shows levels.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yeah, you know, like if we were in the cliff
houses in New Mexico or Colorado, Durango or something, you know,
we'd be low low on the total.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Yes, we have no view, and I just wanted to
point that out to you. It really is. You're right.
That is really upsetting because it was a good idea.
I want you we're a sports show. I want you
to stop to have the turf listen, stop your dreaming,
start doing. No, you live in a little box. You
just want me to stop dreaming. Let it go, Like
instead of doing this dreaming, let act, let it go.
(17:02):
Just stop.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
You're depressing our listeners this show up. It's depressing for
our listeners to hear us. We sound like the We're
like the Kid and Willie Walker before he got the
Golden Ticket. We're like, oh man, that would be great
to have that term. Should give it to us. Some
rich guy goes and buys it and puts it in
and then announces on Twitter to all his people that
it's already been done and we are the ones that
(17:25):
aren't accepting their lot.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
It was. It's just stole it from us. We can.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
But it's like in Rushmore when he realizes he gets
depressed and he goes, you know what, I'm the son
of a barber. That's we need.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
We are the sons of barber.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
We need to look in the mirror and say we
never owned this show. We didn't create the Petris and
Money sports talk empire when.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Our window was open and we live here. Listen, if
you guys want to roll the dice, roll the dice,
all right, but number one, you're not taking the name
number two. Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
We were told we were. We were humiliated before. Humiliated
often tried to make us feel as if we were
not as valuable as we truly are. Like a hard working.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
House with what I'm gonna do is I'm going to
add an hour under your show, and I'm will give
you a twenty thousand dollars raise. How's that sound sounds
like jackpod Boss, That's how it sounds.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
We haven't handled this as well as others. No, and
that is why Matt and I are not able to
buy the blue turf at Boise. And that is why
I would like Matt to stop pipe dreaming about stuff
that costs money. So when they lived, check to.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Chat was a great idea, and had we seized the
Ponnet in the moment, perhaps the athletic department would have
responded to the email and given us the turf.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Why would they donate the turf to us when they
could sell it to Barstool.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Barstool is in New York City that is not a
recruiting hotbed for football, but a media capital it is,
and I would imagine a lot of recruits perhaps followed
the Barstool. It's possible they got boobs, boobling and drinks drinking.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
They have like a reality show of twenty somethings having
sex with each other in Vegas. Yeah, and you know
that was my idea to have a reality show called
Scurvy where everybody don't nobody gets an Vitamin C and
the last person to get scurvy is the winner. If
we had the money, I would have produced Scurvy years ago, and.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
We would have gone bankrupt with it and this show
off the air.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Anyway, I hate to start out the day with a bummer, but.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
You know what, let's turn this frown upside down and
let's use this opportunity with the Olympics coming in two
years to once again push Petros and Money's Olympic village
reality show.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
That's the thing.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
It's attractive former Olympians who are secluded.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Even if you got that show made.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Into an Olympic villaity with each other.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Intellectual because we have no money, the intellectual property would
be wrestled away from you. You would be bitter and angry,
and it would just be another sticking point.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I'll burn this place to exactly now. You like the
guy with the stapler actually corrections and retractions that I
Heeart would love The idea instead of you guys hosted
Seacrest would.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Be a great idea, great idea. You're out, Charlemagne the God.
I'm a barber's son. Go look at.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
The son of a restaurant. I'm the son of Go
look at it.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Go look in the mirror and say you're a barber's son.
Stop with the pipe dreaming, Matt. I'm effing tired of it.
Oh we should buy this. Oh we should buy that.
We should God damn it. We'll be right back with
It's Spencer Pratt in here. He's got money. Give us
some of that campaign money.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
It to us, Pratt. We'll be your consultant.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Look, we deserve it. We've been doing this twenty years.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Watch how we get you elected. Watch this. You need
some sports radio talk style in your campaign.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
What we did for Giuliani. That's right. We'll be back
with more petrols and money on a five seventy LA sport.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
This is Petros and money on demand. Demand demand Petro
some money.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Hang on five seventy ELA Sports Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. Off day today for the Dodgers, but tomorrow
Big one. The Braves are in town for a three
gamer at Dodger Stadium, coming off a two out of
three victory series against the Astros, p something they needed
desperately after the way that road trip started in Saint Louis.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
And joining us right now on your Toyota SoCal Dealers
Celebrity Hotline is a great analyst and a former great player,
an All Star Old Series champ with the Marlins. He's
soared with the Marlins, seventeen seasons in the big leagues,
putting together a great career with the Expos, the Fish,
(22:12):
the Red Sox, the Mets, the Cubs, the Rays, which
is a different kind of sea creature than the Patras.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
You see him now on your.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Screen on the MLB Network MLB Tonight nobody does a
better job than Cliff Floyd and here with a quarter
of the season over, he joins us to discuss some
big national picture topics on the Pettersen Money Show. What's cracking, Cliff?
How are you great? To have you on? Oh man?
Speaker 4 (22:42):
All was good.

You deserve a Cliff, you know, I mean, you take
time out of your day. We're not just gonna bring

you deserve a little bit of a you know, a
little bit of fanfare on your way into the restaurant
before we sit you down and put the napkin on
your lap. It. I love it, tell us Cliff, you know,
because we're the Dodger station here, so obviously very spoiled.
(23:06):
In the last two years have been like a dream.
And then there's a lot of world series and a
lot of great competition over the last ten years. Did
you think the Dodgers start would be like this? It
always feels like, no matter what the expectations are, they
having up and down style road. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Well, I didn't expect it to be like this. I
think everybody gave them one hundred and you know, twenty wins.
You know, in spring training it was like, well forty
five their time and figure it out. Yeah, one forty
you know what I mean. So it's like Dad, they'll
take their time and everybody will chill out and everybody just,
you know, breathe a little bit. But if you look
at who they facing the Rold Series Toronto, they're going
(23:47):
through it right. A lot happens when you have guys
on il Man and you guys.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Have seen it.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
You guys have probably not dealt with as much at
versu as some of these other teams. But somehow I
know that the Dodgers always been able to figure it
out on the flock. And this year I'm not saying
they ain't going anywhere, because it seems like every time
they have something that you know, jumps off, it's like, well,
the Padres are behind them, But it feels like the
(24:13):
Padres are ten games always as opposed to two or
one and a half is for for some odd reason,
they just it's just a slow grind for them. But
you are missing some key pieces that you have to
keep an eye on, you know, as we jump into
May and like it's a long season, but you still
have to keep your eye on what's been going on
(24:34):
of late of just the I L and you have
some guys, you know, on rehab assignments that's coming back,
Snail being one. But can you get Mookie back? Can
get these guys back and feel good about, you know,
moving forward and having these guys on the ross and
helping you win some ball games?
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Is that your cliff kind of you know, early season,
Freddy usually takes a second to get rolling mookies kind
of back, like or is that maybe a bigger like, Hey,
these guys are getting kind of old. These guys have
played a lot of baseball, and they've been to the
World Series and back to back years. Like, I don't know,
if you had to split it into percentages, is there
a higher percentage that you're concerned that maybe these guys
(25:13):
are getting a little bit old and that's why that
bottom of the lineup with the young guys is producing
seemingly a little bit more now than the top or
is it just kind of the way the season plays out.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Well, I think it's a little bit of both, right,
So I'm not really ready to be like, yeah, these
guys are old because I look at certain teams one
being probably of the Phillies are probably the oldest team,
if I'm not mistaken, in the league. They close and
if you look at the Phillies just until recently, they
started bawling like I don't know what happens when the
older guys tend to take a little bit, you know,
(25:46):
more time. Because you can have an excuse for the Phillies.
It's cold and April so on and so forth. They
ain't cold in LA and they might be getting a
little older. But at some point you're gonna have to
utilize the youngsters. You gonna the supporting cast. Dudes have
to play and if you get that, if you get
(26:06):
that contribution, then everything kind of falls into place. I
love what Andy Pyez is right now. We talked about
this morning on the show. D Row went in and
depth and just his his his you know, masturation, his
maturity and everything about what he's had it and what
he's done this season has been phenomenal to watch after
(26:27):
what he endured in the World Series right and riding
the bench, coming in for the greatest catch prior of
his career. But when you think about him and where
he's at, you don't need these dudes and I'm not
saying I'm not giving them you know, the the you
know the crutch right now, I'm just saying, until the
Padres are win that that division by ten games, by
(26:50):
winning that division by eight games, ten games, I'm I'm
I'm sorry. I'm not ready to relinquish anything that Dodds
has done. Uh thus far?
Speaker 4 (26:59):
What do you make of kind of the way there?
You know, because it seems like it's a thing. It's
now happened more than once. Of not hitting Otani when
he's pitching.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Well, you know, Tani says, it's not fatigue. I don't
know how you can't. At some point, right at least
with him, you have to say I'm gonna protect the
player from himself because he wants to do it.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Now.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
I know, a Tony can walk into the offin and say, hey,
I'm kind of running the show and I'm not disrespecting
Dave Roberts by any means. But O'tani is different. He's
one of one. I think you have to look at
the big picture. And I'll go back to what I say.
I mean, yes, he's incredible. Yes, the ability and all
(27:46):
everything we talk about with him is there, But don't
you have to protect him at some point from something
I think you do. That's just me as a former player,
grinding in the cage, grinding, grinding, grinding, you know, playing
both sides of the ball as an outpha or maybe
not getting one ball a game, maybe getting two balls
a game, not throwing, getting big le heres out and
then trying to hit ninety five ninety six. When you
(28:09):
look at him, he don't look tired. But I think
you have to protect what we've seen in the past
from him. You know, he's going through to Tommy Jones
like this is Yeah, I get it. People might think that, oh,
it'll be great if he wins a SI Young, but
is it about championships of Siones. If you ask him,
I think he will say championships.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Cliff Flood is our guest m malb Network. It's an
interesting thing, you say, Cliff, because Otani's pretty much signed
up until he's eighty years old with the So what
do you think it's gonna look like? You know, in
three or four years, do you think there'll be a
wall that this guy hits. I mean, I remember back
in the day we're talking about Mike Trout might be
(28:50):
the greatest player ever and certainly we're not having those
conversations anymore. And he was a guy who signed a
really long term deal. What is it's gonna happen? What
do you think it's gonna be in a few years?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Well, Wall is coming.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
I don't know what you know, if it's a big ones,
there's a buzz saw, Like, I don't know what's happening.
But you you have to as every player. And I'm
not only even gonna mention Dwyane, you know, dine down
and like you know, coming to an end out. What
I'm saying is, how do we maximize what he brings
to that organization, you know, to the game of baseball?
(29:24):
How do you maximize that? I think durability is something
that I would I love talking about because I wasn't
the durable guy that I wanted to be. And when
you're not available, it's there's your there's your answer, right,
Like I wasn't available enough to speak on like, well
(29:44):
you got to be you know, you gotta post, you
gotta post. I commend dudes that post. I love dudes
that go out there and you can look at their
track worker and say, well he's posted for the last
three four years and one to fifty plus one fifty
five plus. I need that dude on my team. How
do you get that out of old timey you? For me
to watch that game consistently every night he pitches when
(30:05):
I'm up. You know, I'm fifty three years old now
and been out the game for a while. For me
to watch that game late at night on West Coast. Oh,
tiny needs a band lineup. I need to see him
playing none against other dudes. But he's just a difference
maker like that. For me to watch that game and
watch what he's doing, and everybody's mentioning Unicorn and all
these things, and it's great. I think it's phenomenal. Yes,
(30:27):
he's going the Hall of Fame. I think it's great.
But how do you maximize for that team moving forward?
If you want to throw in the contract, cool, how
do you get that? How do you get the best
out of that? And that's protecting him from some sort
of whatever it is, maybe not hitting as much, maybe
you know, every sixth day, maybe missing the start, whatever
(30:47):
it is. It's important to to you know, listen to
and it's important for a tiny to be truthful to
them and say, hey, man, I'm feeling a little you know, fatigue,
you know, a dead arm, whatever case may be. And
if that's the case, then I know for a fact
Dave Robinson and the whole organization will protect that. But
(31:10):
he has to be truthful in making sure that they
stay on top of anything or everything that happens for
him moving forward, because he's that important to not just
their winning, but just the overall fan base on what
they mean, you know, what he means to la What do.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
You make of just kind of the because they've showed
patience with pie Has last year, right in the playoffs
he went through like a yeah, three for forty five slump.
But you know, we're watching hay Son Kim and we're
watching Alex Friedland and some of these young players, and
out here we're just so used to well, you know
they're going to be on that plane to Oklahoma City,
you know when so and so when Mookie gets back
and say thing like Kyle Hurd, he's going to be
(31:47):
gone when Snell gets back. Is what do you think
the balance is for the front office to try to
give these guys, these young players, as much rope as
they can and much opportunity as they can to prove
that they're everyday big leaguers. I'll still kind of having
this older roster and feeling the need to you know,
win every game and win a World Series. Is that
a tough thing to balance? And do you think they're
(32:07):
doing a good job of it.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
I do think they're doing a good job of it.
Is it tough to balance? Absolutely, because you do have
these guys coming back and you know, I think the
one thing I've seen and dealt with or you know,
of course with twenty plus years, is too you won't
be the first, definitely won't be the last that happened
to have going back to Oklahoma City or dealing with
(32:31):
you know, whether you're playing well and you might have
to show an end of the stick and have to
go back to Triple A for a little bit, you know,
but you always about leaving the last impression on that
organization to let them know that you can play at
the big league level. It's about consistency, or it's about
understanding the role that has changed for you as a
player when you get to the big leagues. Right, it's
(32:52):
not going to be the position that you came up with.
May it might it might be something totally different, and
you have to make that adjustment on the fly. So
I think when you look at these dudes getting, you know,
an opportunity, one of the one of the best things.
One of the coaches says me a long time ago.
He was like, it's free. Like what you mean, coaches,
it's free. The opportunity is free, it's air, an opportunity.
(33:15):
Take advantage of it. Don't put pressure on yourself. Play
the game you can, and doctors watching the whole everybody's watching,
and you Freeman's watch.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Everybody's watching.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
And it's about the little things you bring to the
team that's going to take that team, you know, to
the top. It's never about the big things. If you
bring the big things, three homers, cool, that's cool. But
if you can make a play, if you can get
that pressures out that you need, if you can do
some of the little things, then you're always being the
hunt of being on you know, on that roster. Uh
(33:45):
you know when when when time b towards the postseason.
That to me is how you establish yourself as a youngster,
especially on really good teams, on teams that are just
you know, fighting for you know, just to stay above water.
To stay above five hundred. That do opportunity is going
to last for one hundred and fifty plus games. You're
going to get the ride out and get your feet
up on you. You don't get that luxury on good
teams at times. So I think Doc and those guys
(34:08):
have done a good job of just, you know, allowing
these dudes to play their games, get their feet wet
a little bit, and then say, hey, you know what's coming,
So just prepare yourself for this. But give me what
you've got right now, and I guarantee your time of
come and get the great.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Cliff Floyd is our guest from the MLB Network. Before
we let you go, Cliff got to ask you, you
know what, Dodgers, notwithstanding I know the Mets are terrible
and Philly's old. Like you said, the Braves are coming
to town. They've been good. What's been the biggest surprise
to you in the first quarter of the season here?
Speaker 5 (34:44):
So, you know what, I love a lot of teams
that are that are fighting right. I mean, it's it's
just when you look at the Oakland, you know they're coming. Well,
I say Sacramento as I'll get caught up every once
in a while call Oakland, but the Sacramento I am
surprised by the Cubs and what they've been able to
do without having starting pitching. Right when you lose a
(35:06):
Cade Horton, a Justin Steele, you know, now, Matthew Boyd,
you have a revamped bullpen and you're doing what you're
doing the last three days to the cisin ires, who
are real in my opinion, that that is phenomenal. I mean, listen,
I expected the Cubs to probably win that in L Central,
but to do it without pitching, And I've always said,
(35:29):
if you don't have pitching, you're probably gonna come up last.
They've shot me. But I think in L Central is
one division. While I'm looking at going Wow, I inspect
all these teams to be five hundred above.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
He's the best. Should we get him a couple times
a year and we're better for it. Our listeners can
revel in the Baseball Conversation seventeen seasons in the Big
League's World Series Champion. You watch them on MLB Network.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
And now for a segment that I've already lost interest
in before this open is finished only kids.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
All right, guys, I got three quick stories for you.
One just happened to me about two hours ago. Got here,
started to heat up my lunch, made a coffee, and
I ran into an FM jock host from the fifth
floor from ninety two point three. I have to come
down and use our kitchen well, because it's our kitchen
is the only kitchen, and it's got the best coffee
(37:37):
machine ever. And he was making a coffee and I
ran into this gentleman two days ago and I was like, hey,
how many coffee is you usually drink a day. It's like, oh,
usually two, but this is number one. So today I
saw him again. I'm like, hey, little small talk, what
number coffee is this today? He goes, this is number two,
and he's like, full disclosure, I drink coffee. But I
used to be a big energy drink guy. I'm like, hey,
me too, He goes, I was a five hour energy guy.
(37:59):
I'm like, he goes, yeah, I'd have a cup of
coffee in the morning in five hour in the afternoon,
and he goes, But I had to stop that, and
I said, really, me too, because I had so many
energy drinks. My gallbladder had to be taken out. He
stopped what he was doing, looked at me, and he said,
shut up. I said, no, no, it happened to me.
In twenty eleven, he goes the exact same thing happened
to me.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Oh my god, two gallbladder brothers at the same cluster
of radio station.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
He said, I was on the air and had to
get rushed to the hospital and had my gallbladder taken out.
And the doctor told him it was because of all
the sugar and the energy drinks that he was drinking. Wow.
He at the time was doing mornings and I was like,
no way, You're the only other person I've heard of radio.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Radio is a terrible pandemic of people losing their gallbladders
because of a energy energy drink addiction.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
Right, and they bring us the fridge. They would Red
Bull used to drop off cases of sugar free Red
Bull Dolly after Dolly. Yeah, truly, they would Dolly in
like eight cases at the case.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Has never been able to refuse freestyle, no never, and
uh yeah. And then that turned into five hour energy.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
Well who was it?
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Was it?
Speaker 4 (39:11):
Secrets Cruise. I was cruised from ninety two three Judas
an awesome guy by the guy and you got no
gallbladder though now I wish he had miss And so
we're like talking and I said, you know, my doctor said, hey, no,
you know, no dairy, no cheeses, no spicy stuff, you know,
And he goes, yeah, I don't listen to that stuff.
I don't know. Yeh me two cruise, I think I
(39:35):
met a friend today cruise from the Cruise show. I'll
meet you at Don Cucko's very cool. So look at
that no energy drinks.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
So the let's have a schooner together.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
I like to think the stairway to Kevin actually brought
together the fourth and fifth floor got into getting to
meet the guy who also had his gallbladder taken out.
So there you go. That's my first story of the day.
The second one.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
Involves our friends and you know what, he kept Matt's
haterism at Bay with the tom We're gonna go north
of the border right now, boys, because as we know,
it is hockey season.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
Yes, the Sanley Cup Playoffs and my Anaheim ducks our
time one one with the Vegas Golden Knights. Game three
tomorrow night back are going to start.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
I watched it last night.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
I was thinking to you, Kate, so I think I
found myself rooting for the Ducks a little bit there.
Did you happen to keep it on T and T
after the game for the postgame show, which is great
by the way, just like the NBA post game show
with Shack and all them, which I know is on ESPN.
Now the hockey post game with Paul Bessonetti. I did
not watch last night. I was watching the basketball there.
They referenced the story that happened on Monday and grewsome
(40:42):
legs over the next forty eight hours because of the
reaction that it god from Toronto, who on Monday introduced
their new general manager, John Jacob. Well backstory, he was
the former GM of the Arizona Phoenix Coyotes back before COVID. Yeah,
and had a falling out there, actually got fired. Who
(41:03):
was suspended by the NHL for a year for trying
to get another job when he had a job in Arizona.
Already real bad guy, I mean just a real bad guy.
And now he's a GM. Now he's the GM of
the Toronto He had a press conference on Monday and
the local Maple Leafe the teeth of the Toronto Rider
(41:25):
got teeth of the hockey media after the Canadians, excuse me,
the blue the Toronto Maplews president Keith Pelly, and here's
the new GM sitting right next to him. And here's
the question from the Rider to the president, Keith Pelly, you.
Speaker 6 (41:39):
Talk about the due diligence that you did on John
prior to hiring him and now hiring him. In the
past say, three to four days, I have been in
contact with about twenty people who work in the National
Hockey League, many of whom are prominent names that we
would all know. And of the twenty people I spoke to,
one was supportive of jos hiring in the other nineteen
(42:01):
thought it was a sham. To be perfectly honest, words
were used like con artist, liar, salesman. How did you
come to a different conclusion that I was able to
come to in a very short time.
Speaker 5 (42:13):
I must have talked to different people.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
That's it, because in the hockey world today is astounded
by this announcement, okay, And your response to.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
That is, as we've conducted due diligence, and it was
deeps on our due diligence.
Speaker 5 (42:30):
It was a thorough process and I'm quite happy with
where we've learned.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
You good answer, So talk to different people.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (42:37):
The phoks in Toronto hate the higher hockey. People hate
the higher And last night Paul Biscinetti is that he
gonna say his name Bissinette. Bescinetti sounds right. He was
on TNT last night and he said he no longer
will talk or roote about the Toronto Maple Leafs because
he hates the organization. So bad for hiring this guy,
because he was in Arizona when everything went down with
(42:59):
the Coyotes and there was a huge fall out there.
And then he went on social media. Paul did and
tweeted out, I ain't coming back to the Leaves all
you hate and leaves fans and my mentions can kiss
my ass.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (43:10):
I don't choose your team over loyalty, so f you
you're on my enemy list. Now game on m RF first. Wow,
bad situation because i'ed a GM guy, yeah, who apparently
is a bad guy.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
Gosh, it seems like it.
Speaker 4 (43:25):
Bad dude.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
I talk to twenty people. Nineteen said it's a sham.
Speaker 5 (43:31):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (43:32):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
Well, the one I liked him, right.
Speaker 6 (43:35):
How did you come to a different conclusion that I
was able to come to in a very short time.
Speaker 4 (43:40):
I must have talked to different people. Okay, that's it.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (43:45):
That is it. Yeah. So apparently they're not happy in Toronto.
So in the third final store for you, I mean
it's been a rough you know, six months giveaway the
world series like that, and they lost Showy Tani six
months even before that. So God, Scottie barn you mentioned
Disneyland a couple of days ago, maybe it was yesterday
on the show Petros. Disneyland back in the news again
(44:05):
today for the ride Atopia. Atopia Autopia Autopia in the
news open in nineteen fifty five when the park opened
on that same day, was one of the original one
of the og rides at Disneyland. It is not going
away altogether, but Atopia as we know it is no
longer going to be a Topia. They're getting rid of
(44:25):
the gas cars. Oh I love sucking on the fumes.
When I was a Topia, that was the highlight and
in an.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
Effort made you feel like you were like I'm in
a racetrack here.
Speaker 4 (44:36):
The patent Disney in an effort to be net zero
for greenhouse Gas Emissions has announced that in the next
year they will replace all the fully gas powered Autopia
cars with a new full fleet of electric vehicles that
kids can ride on. Now, Matt, the Austropia was great
(44:56):
because you'd hit the gas and it would just yes,
search forward and you'd run into the car.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
There you're kid with you got the fuel feeling right,
feeling with the fuel Ejectionhow horses under there?
Speaker 4 (45:09):
Man, I don't want killawatts. I want horse power. And
then as a dad when your kids there and the
excitement they got thinking they're driving the car and they're
having that fuel underneath the pedal, I mean, it's everything,
and now it's gonna be electric.
Speaker 3 (45:20):
This is what they did to f one.
Speaker 4 (45:22):
You know what, Very much like that, very much terrible, terrible. Yeah,
I'm gonna miss the uh you hear the background, Yeah,
the lawnmower engine. Then you hit that dad's pedal. But
you know, I would just jump off that line. Man.
Speaker 3 (45:35):
At least we still have avalon at Catalina where all
the golf carts are gas powered, so everybody's feet are
black as coal. Everybody's feet looked like barkuna.
Speaker 4 (45:48):
Oh weeze. So there you go. Electric cars coming to Atopia.
They're pissed in Toronto about the hire of their GM.
Speaker 3 (45:57):
Is like you.
Speaker 4 (45:58):
No, he's just like you.
Speaker 3 (46:01):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (46:02):
That's it, three stories for you.
Speaker 3 (46:04):
I left my radio career because it was going to
take my gallbladder.
Speaker 4 (46:10):
Took a piece of me, literally, I should ask Sweet James.
By the way, if it's too late to see class
action lawsuit, Yeah, I lost an organ because of these
energy drinks. What are you willing to give to AM radio?
Is it correlation or causation. Let's get to the bottom

off day for the Dodgers. Man when there's an off
day and they're in town. These guys really get around.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah they do. There are money making opportunities for an
off day and every once in a while, money making
opportunities for the franchise, like the.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Gala at King Pong tournament.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah they use and you know, charity of course, but
they use these off days as an opportunity of course.
Of course, this one justin alex Vesia opportunity where he
is with David Vassy at the Downey Hunday and good
for them. And speaking of Downey, we are going to
be in Downy a week from tomorrow for a extra
(01:42):
long Petroson Money for those of you that thirst for
a Petroson Money. Remote in a while, when we're at
Dodger Stadium, we don't really get to interact with people.
Were either interviewing players down on the field or in
the special nobody's allowed in media room.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
If you're in the band air supply, we're going to
interact with you. Yeah, well outside of that, I've seen
that guy in years either.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
But the point is we will be back with the
people a week from.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Tomorrow Downy BJ's Restaurant in brew House. Like you said,
it's been at least a month. We assume we'll have
a slew of giveaways.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
It's been like six weeks, Matt, were we out in
Crito's or someplace like that. Recently we really blew up.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Oh No, Montabello, Manabeo. That was a great moment. Was
it was so good. We had to take six weeks
off so as to distance the remotes to honor our
friends in Mountebello. For now we go back to Downey,
So Downey on Friday, Dodger tickets, BJ's rest Winner brew
House gifted Friday one week from Friday today, Downey Hunday,
(02:43):
Dave and Alex Vessia a week from tomorrow, Petros and
Money back at the Downy Bjays. We've been there before.
Tight quarters, a real separation between church and state. We're
up in the bar area and it's raised above the restaurant.
Sometimes the restaurant tours kind of look up at us
wondering what's going on, But.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Just really depends. The one time we had really great
attendance there are Pa broke and it was one of
the terrible moments in the history of the show. It's
like Dunkirk so for us, and now we're headed back
and we shall see how it goes.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
We want to see you there. We do, and we
have stuff to give away, so that should be. And
like you said, two o'clock start, early start. That's a
flex alert, flex alert two o'clock to five thirty.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
So make your schedule, you downy hot rod types, you
nineteen fifties greaser surf rockers, Hatfield.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Did we reach out to Headfield? I Carley? Did we
reach out to I Carley.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Miranda Costgrove, the Downy High Vikings, the Warren Bears. We
hope to see you there, and if you can't make it,
at least listen to the show, live stream it or
podcast it on the iHeartRadio app. Now this is today
(04:11):
and tomorrow will be the two five. I don't know
if this is an answer to competition in town or
what the deal is, but today and tomorrow is going
to be the last two days in our studio before
before the big remodel.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
We just lamented our twenty plus year old TV, the
VHS that was attached to it, the DVD player that
nearly killed our producer Tim Kates when he tried to
unplug it because of a power search. His right index
finger is still numb, no feeling whatsoever. So the engineering
department said, all right, we're tearing this whole place up,
(04:51):
so they're going to take it down to the studs
a total makeover. Are they taking it down to the studs?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Is that what they told you?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
We're going to move a couple of walls. I'm gonna
pop this one out, Okay, put a bay window in.
I'm gonna get some nice playing you like a breakfast nook.
Nice nook. But yeah, we've been told her out of
here for a month.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
So that means and I know that people don't care
about this, but we do. And this is some serious
housekeeping that has to be done. We have our Santa
Anita calendar, no, our Crito's calendar, our Crito's proclamation, our
City of Irvine commendation, our black Sex position Capricorn poster.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Our door, our door and are gong and our Tarantula
Hill movie poster.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
From the PMS photoshop bandit and our no food in
the Studio sign. All of those things, like the twelve
Tribes of Israel leaving Egypt?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Is that merman? That is a merman? I can move that.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, all of those things have to be picked up,
like the twelve tribes and moved out of Egypt. And
do we have a plan for that? Tim, I mean
you're kind of in charge of everything around here.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
No plan. Did you mention the door? I'm sorry? Yes, okay,
you mentioned that, the big one. Well, that's gonna take
two or three of it.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Like well, when you think about how they carried Han
Solo's body out when they froze.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Harbonite, Yeah, you know what, I think it floated, To
be honest with you, Yeah, that's how we're gonna do it.
I got the pinchers. The pinchers are gonna grab and
it just slides down the hallway.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Where do we put the door?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
It's like a door in Monsters, inc. I think we
put in our office, okay, even though we haven't occupied
the office in years.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
And everything else. The gong, where does the gong go?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
The gong can go in the office. To the office
is pretty clean. I think the gong should go in
your studio. We need to we can bring it in
because like we're gonna have to gong it out and
it's plus you want to take it to the rub
and tub? No, okay, hey, lizard, look what I can do.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I don't need the Gong.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Do you guys have any recommendations? I was asked just
a few minutes ago if the guys have any suggestions
for the studio. I think they like in their.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Well, like considering that we had this same TV for
twenty years.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I think they're gonna I think monitors are going on
the wall. Yeah, right, it would be great. I believe
the remodel is going to look like Kfi when they
put all the TV they got, like the four TV's
on the wall.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Arm monitors are still going to be TV tubes They're
gonna be It's just huge, like a giant wall.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
The dial that you have to change the channel?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
No, what, what do you know anything? Kates? Do you
is there anything that you know that we don't know?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
No?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Would you like maybe electrical outlets closer so you can
charge your phones and laptops easier so you're not stretched
across the floor, and then get a bigger window, bigger window. Yep, No, No,
can't do that. What Matt said they were going to
pop out the wall. I thought we were taking it
down to the studs. Only three of the four walls
are going down to the studs. This wall is not
that's for certain the key note. I'm the only one
(07:45):
that gets to have the view of Ronnie, and I
want Petros to have that view as well.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Well. If Ronnie moves his head, I can see.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Him when he leans over hard left.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah, I could see him. I mean, we've been doing
the show in this room for twenty years and it
seems to have been working out okay. But anyway, there
is going to be a redo of our studio. I'd
like a better use of that space. Matt and I
are going to be like Romany gypsies, sent out into
the cold and damp, and we'll be doing the shows
(08:15):
from home and from what remote studios here in the area.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
That is not confirmed yet. We were told today. We
were accosted by engineers today and told you guys gonna
be doing the show from home for the next month. Kate, Yeah,
I don't know what's happening exactly. They're working on the
connections between different studios here in the building. But Matt,
I agree with you. That is a lot of empty
vat space over here in the un and that's the
size of a studio apartment in Manhattan, right and it's
doing nothing except for sucking up half of our TV
(08:43):
that we can't see. We could put a shower head there, right,
let's do that. I wouldn't mind a nice shower. Do
you show exactly? Do you guys want a higher desk?
Do you like the lower sit down desk? What do
you guys prefer? Oh the one that moves, Oh, the
one that goes.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Up and down?
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Ooh?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Can I get a treadmill? I want to be able
to jog? Gotcha? I want to be I want one
of them walking treadmills so I can walk while I'm
doing the work.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Matt's jogging showering. It's become Jim Harbaugh's speaking office here.
But anyway, that is a little bit of news. As
far as our schedule goes. Today, we have Cliff Floyd.
He's gonna talk some baseball with us from the MLB
Network MLB Tonight, Cliff Floyd, the Great outfielder, will join us.
Always an interesting conversation about baseball and national Baseball conversation.
(09:30):
And then we'll have three things. Thursday, we will have
Billy Zay.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Look at this a rare in studio gaes. The early
days of the Petros and Money Show were littered with
in studio guys.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
And the whole station. You know, radio was different. Day
kind of feels that way. You got Spencer Pratz soaka
La Masuda down the hall.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Just hanging out in the KFI green room, which is
just they took out cubicles and call it a green
room with Share sitting in.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
A folding chair in the middle of an empty room.
It looks like the.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Parallax view over this. It's quite depressing.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Well.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Yeah, radio used to be part of the car wash
when when people were coming out with a new movie
or a new album, they would go into their local
radio stations and here's what flash, he's got the snake
pit coming out.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
We got a lot going on though. Today night we
got we got Billy's Am.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Billy Freaking Zane is coming in studio because he's got
a new film.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He'd become his new vehicle of promotion, right Billy Billy's
ain't trusts us?
Speaker 4 (10:31):
You know, Takeover is coming out with Quavo. Could he
have gone on a zoom with Lebron, Sure, but instead
he's coming on the Petrosen Money Show at five thirty PM.
He's gonna be in seasons. In season two a stick
which is a ti tim Cats Show, Big Hit on
Apple TV with Owen Wilson.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
And that's the guy who said you should listen to
your friend.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Billy's a right old friends Owen and Bill walk So
he's got a movie coming out Friday, that would be
tomorrow the eighth, and then he's got the season two
A Stick. I don't know if that's been announced when
it's coming back yet, but it's a guy that's making
moves around town, all right, and he's coming to the
petros In Money Show to pedal his wares, and we
feel pretty damn important.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
This will be the last thing he sees. This studio
is going to be the last great actor we've had
Harry Hamlin here we have. This will be the last
great actor that's inside this studio until us Matt says,
they rip it down to the studs.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Charlie Murphy was here for an hour. That was a
funny hour. It was a hilarious hour. So we're gonna
keep him for a second. I think we have not.
I think we have to.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Well, we will have Billy zaying on, who's a good
talker in the five o'clock hour. We'll try not to
ask her about sports because he is a.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Thespian, yes, classically trained a Thespians that's very serious about
his acting. Now, I do have terrible news for you, Matt,
and this is part of ourrible news is our our
studio is being shut down. Well and even worse is
Spencer Pratt's not coming on. I'm sure we would if
we want to, So let's get him. I was just
talking Dodgers with him in the hall. Oh yeah, No.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
This is bad news though, Matt, because you know, and
it does speak to the fact that we kind of
you know, Matt and I started this show twenty years ago,
and we've always worked here, and one of us is
under contract and then the other one, you know, they're
they're they're uh tiered contracts. So when my contract's up,
Matt still got a year and then, you know, so
(12:25):
we work here. We are not independently wealthy like with
the show, to where we could just buy stuff for
the show like these YouTube guys like I'm gonna buy
a big foot and making a boat. You know, we don't.
We don't have that kind of financial and we are
we are not nimble financially like some other even great
(12:46):
sports talk radio shows.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Not great sports talk great sports.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Talk, but other sports talk radio shows. So Matt often
pipe dreams as if we were going to make the money. Well, no,
not just how we're gonna make the money, but we
should buy this, we should buy that. Matt's often pipe
dreaming with terrible ideas.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
I take offense to that you should maybe because some
of them are great.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
You think of yourself as an idea mass some of
them are terrible. None of these some of them are
None of these ideas have ever come to fruition. And
if we were say the Pat McAfee show or Barstool.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yeah, then you bet your ass Olympic Village, the reality
show is being made.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Or Busting with the Boys, you know, any of these.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
You know, these guys that were just local AM radio
has acts, right, So we don't have that ability. And
here is a great example of the fact that we
don't have that ability. Yesterday a story breaks that they're
selling off the blue turf of Boise State. Now they
are selling off big chunks, little chunks, chunks and rings.
(13:49):
Someone abought four hundred square feet.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
For their whole backyard, right, And Matt was like, and
it ties in with what we're doing today.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
We're doing the remodel. Let's see if they want to
use the turf for our floor. Would make sense, great,
great conversation piece. Right, We're twenty years as the Show
of record, the sports show of Record in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I've done at least twelve Boise State Bronco games over
the year.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
I've done one, It's quite a while ago, but still one.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I know Chris Peterson's phone number. Kate's likes the idea
of Boise.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
We all do.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Being white people, right, I don't we love Boise And
Matt was like, we should do this and I was like,
since Matt thought that they would donate it to us, sure,
because we're great sports talk ohay.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
In southern California recruiting right makes sense.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Today I saw first thing in the morning the barstool
big Cat announce that he has already purchased a big
chunk of the ten yard line and it is going
to be installed in their office in July. Because they
(15:02):
have the financial dexterity.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
We're idea then with no follow through exactly, and that's
what they have that if we called somebody at the
barstools sports book, that brings them millions upon millions of
dollars right, and ill advised wagers from their listening audience.
So they can just say, well, we don't need to
reach out to the athletic department. We we'll just buy it.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
All we ask from our listening audience is maybe every
once in a while they buy themselves some chicken fingers
in a BJ Right. Our show is for free. We
don't try to fleece your gambling addiction. But anyway, Yes,
I just wanted to show. But doesn't it show you,
matt that we lack the financial ability. We're not nimble
(15:50):
enough to buy the del taco in Barstow. We're not
giving us that we're not nimble enough.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
We just want one.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
We're just not no to travel to sochi or check
the check man. We really are check the check to
check to check operation. Now, we got this gong for
free during the pandemic talimomited dot com Gong's unlimited in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
You're wearing a Strew shirt that was free. Yeah, I'm
wearing a Travis Matthew polo. This was free when we
got our that the sex poster was free. Yeah, our
commonertificate of recognition, Yeah, commendation. But it shows levels.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yeah, you know, like if we were in the cliff
houses in New Mexico or Colorado, Durango or something, you know,
we'd be low low on the total.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Yes, we have no view, and I just wanted to
point that out to you. It really is. You're right.
That is really upsetting because it was a good idea.
I want you we're a sports show. I want you
to stop to have the turf listen, stop your dreaming,
start doing. No, you live in a little box. You
just want me to stop dreaming. Let it go, Like
instead of doing this dreaming, let act, let it go.
(17:02):
Just stop.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
You're depressing our listeners this show up. It's depressing for
our listeners to hear us. We sound like the We're
like the Kid and Willie Walker before he got the
Golden Ticket. We're like, oh man, that would be great
to have that term. Should give it to us. Some
rich guy goes and buys it and puts it in
and then announces on Twitter to all his people that
it's already been done and we are the ones that
(17:25):
aren't accepting their lot.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
It was. It's just stole it from us. We can.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
But it's like in Rushmore when he realizes he gets
depressed and he goes, you know what, I'm the son
of a barber. That's we need.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
We are the sons of barber.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
We need to look in the mirror and say we
never owned this show. We didn't create the Petris and
Money sports talk empire when.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Our window was open and we live here. Listen, if
you guys want to roll the dice, roll the dice,
all right, but number one, you're not taking the name
number two. Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
We were told we were. We were humiliated before. Humiliated
often tried to make us feel as if we were
not as valuable as we truly are. Like a hard working.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
House with what I'm gonna do is I'm going to
add an hour under your show, and I'm will give
you a twenty thousand dollars raise. How's that sound sounds
like jackpod Boss, That's how it sounds.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
We haven't handled this as well as others. No, and
that is why Matt and I are not able to
buy the blue turf at Boise. And that is why
I would like Matt to stop pipe dreaming about stuff
that costs money. So when they lived, check to.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Chat was a great idea, and had we seized the
Ponnet in the moment, perhaps the athletic department would have
responded to the email and given us the turf.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Why would they donate the turf to us when they
could sell it to Barstool.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Barstool is in New York City that is not a
recruiting hotbed for football, but a media capital it is,
and I would imagine a lot of recruits perhaps followed
the Barstool. It's possible they got boobs, boobling and drinks drinking.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
They have like a reality show of twenty somethings having
sex with each other in Vegas. Yeah, and you know
that was my idea to have a reality show called
Scurvy where everybody don't nobody gets an Vitamin C and
the last person to get scurvy is the winner. If
we had the money, I would have produced Scurvy years ago, and.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
We would have gone bankrupt with it and this show
off the air.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Anyway, I hate to start out the day with a bummer, but.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
You know what, let's turn this frown upside down and
let's use this opportunity with the Olympics coming in two
years to once again push Petros and Money's Olympic village
reality show.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
That's the thing.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
It's attractive former Olympians who are secluded.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Even if you got that show made.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Into an Olympic villaity with each other.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Intellectual because we have no money, the intellectual property would
be wrestled away from you. You would be bitter and angry,
and it would just be another sticking point.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I'll burn this place to exactly now. You like the
guy with the stapler actually corrections and retractions that I
Heeart would love The idea instead of you guys hosted
Seacrest would.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Be a great idea, great idea. You're out, Charlemagne the God.
I'm a barber's son. Go look at.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
The son of a restaurant. I'm the son of Go
look at it.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Go look in the mirror and say you're a barber's son.
Stop with the pipe dreaming, Matt. I'm effing tired of it.
Oh we should buy this. Oh we should buy that.
We should God damn it. We'll be right back with
It's Spencer Pratt in here. He's got money. Give us
some of that campaign money.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
It to us, Pratt. We'll be your consultant.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Look, we deserve it. We've been doing this twenty years.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Watch how we get you elected. Watch this. You need
some sports radio talk style in your campaign.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
What we did for Giuliani. That's right. We'll be back
with more petrols and money on a five seventy LA sport.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
This is Petros and money on demand. Demand demand Petro
some money.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Hang on five seventy ELA Sports Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. Off day today for the Dodgers, but tomorrow
Big one. The Braves are in town for a three
gamer at Dodger Stadium, coming off a two out of
three victory series against the Astros, p something they needed
desperately after the way that road trip started in Saint Louis.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
And joining us right now on your Toyota SoCal Dealers
Celebrity Hotline is a great analyst and a former great player,
an All Star Old Series champ with the Marlins. He's
soared with the Marlins, seventeen seasons in the big leagues,
putting together a great career with the Expos, the Fish,
(22:12):
the Red Sox, the Mets, the Cubs, the Rays, which
is a different kind of sea creature than the Patras.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
You see him now on your.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Screen on the MLB Network MLB Tonight nobody does a
better job than Cliff Floyd and here with a quarter
of the season over, he joins us to discuss some
big national picture topics on the Pettersen Money Show. What's cracking, Cliff?
How are you great? To have you on? Oh man?
Speaker 4 (22:42):
All was good.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
I love the music, love the intro.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
You deserve a Cliff, you know, I mean, you take
time out of your day. We're not just gonna bring
you on and just pepper you like like, you know,
you deserve a little bit of a you know, a
little bit of fanfare on your way into the restaurant
before we sit you down and put the napkin on
your lap. It. I love it, tell us Cliff, you know,
because we're the Dodger station here, so obviously very spoiled.
(23:06):
In the last two years have been like a dream.
And then there's a lot of world series and a
lot of great competition over the last ten years. Did
you think the Dodgers start would be like this? It
always feels like, no matter what the expectations are, they
having up and down style road. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Well, I didn't expect it to be like this. I
think everybody gave them one hundred and you know, twenty wins.
You know, in spring training it was like, well forty
five their time and figure it out. Yeah, one forty
you know what I mean. So it's like Dad, they'll
take their time and everybody will chill out and everybody just,
you know, breathe a little bit. But if you look
at who they facing the Rold Series Toronto, they're going
(23:47):
through it right. A lot happens when you have guys
on il Man and you guys.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Have seen it.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
You guys have probably not dealt with as much at
versu as some of these other teams. But somehow I
know that the Dodgers always been able to figure it
out on the flock. And this year I'm not saying
they ain't going anywhere, because it seems like every time
they have something that you know, jumps off, it's like, well,
the Padres are behind them, But it feels like the
(24:13):
Padres are ten games always as opposed to two or
one and a half is for for some odd reason,
they just it's just a slow grind for them. But
you are missing some key pieces that you have to
keep an eye on, you know, as we jump into
May and like it's a long season, but you still
have to keep your eye on what's been going on
(24:34):
of late of just the I L and you have
some guys, you know, on rehab assignments that's coming back,
Snail being one. But can you get Mookie back? Can
get these guys back and feel good about, you know,
moving forward and having these guys on the ross and
helping you win some ball games?
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Is that your cliff kind of you know, early season,
Freddy usually takes a second to get rolling mookies kind
of back, like or is that maybe a bigger like, Hey,
these guys are getting kind of old. These guys have
played a lot of baseball, and they've been to the
World Series and back to back years. Like, I don't know,
if you had to split it into percentages, is there
a higher percentage that you're concerned that maybe these guys
(25:13):
are getting a little bit old and that's why that
bottom of the lineup with the young guys is producing
seemingly a little bit more now than the top or
is it just kind of the way the season plays out.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Well, I think it's a little bit of both, right,
So I'm not really ready to be like, yeah, these
guys are old because I look at certain teams one
being probably of the Phillies are probably the oldest team,
if I'm not mistaken, in the league. They close and
if you look at the Phillies just until recently, they
started bawling like I don't know what happens when the
older guys tend to take a little bit, you know,
(25:46):
more time. Because you can have an excuse for the Phillies.
It's cold and April so on and so forth. They
ain't cold in LA and they might be getting a
little older. But at some point you're gonna have to
utilize the youngsters. You gonna the supporting cast. Dudes have
to play and if you get that, if you get
(26:06):
that contribution, then everything kind of falls into place. I
love what Andy Pyez is right now. We talked about
this morning on the show. D Row went in and
depth and just his his his you know, masturation, his
maturity and everything about what he's had it and what
he's done this season has been phenomenal to watch after
(26:27):
what he endured in the World Series right and riding
the bench, coming in for the greatest catch prior of
his career. But when you think about him and where
he's at, you don't need these dudes and I'm not
saying I'm not giving them you know, the the you
know the crutch right now, I'm just saying, until the
Padres are win that that division by ten games, by
(26:50):
winning that division by eight games, ten games, I'm I'm
I'm sorry. I'm not ready to relinquish anything that Dodds
has done. Uh thus far?
Speaker 4 (26:59):
What do you make of kind of the way there?
You know, because it seems like it's a thing. It's
now happened more than once. Of not hitting Otani when
he's pitching.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Well, you know, Tani says, it's not fatigue. I don't
know how you can't. At some point, right at least
with him, you have to say I'm gonna protect the
player from himself because he wants to do it.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Now.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
I know, a Tony can walk into the offin and say, hey,
I'm kind of running the show and I'm not disrespecting
Dave Roberts by any means. But O'tani is different. He's
one of one. I think you have to look at
the big picture. And I'll go back to what I say.
I mean, yes, he's incredible. Yes, the ability and all
(27:46):
everything we talk about with him is there, But don't
you have to protect him at some point from something
I think you do. That's just me as a former player,
grinding in the cage, grinding, grinding, grinding, you know, playing
both sides of the ball as an outpha or maybe
not getting one ball a game, maybe getting two balls
a game, not throwing, getting big le heres out and
then trying to hit ninety five ninety six. When you
(28:09):
look at him, he don't look tired. But I think
you have to protect what we've seen in the past
from him. You know, he's going through to Tommy Jones
like this is Yeah, I get it. People might think that, oh,
it'll be great if he wins a SI Young, but
is it about championships of Siones. If you ask him,
I think he will say championships.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Cliff Flood is our guest m malb Network. It's an
interesting thing, you say, Cliff, because Otani's pretty much signed
up until he's eighty years old with the So what
do you think it's gonna look like? You know, in
three or four years, do you think there'll be a
wall that this guy hits. I mean, I remember back
in the day we're talking about Mike Trout might be
(28:50):
the greatest player ever and certainly we're not having those
conversations anymore. And he was a guy who signed a
really long term deal. What is it's gonna happen? What
do you think it's gonna be in a few years?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Well, Wall is coming.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
I don't know what you know, if it's a big ones,
there's a buzz saw, Like, I don't know what's happening.
But you you have to as every player. And I'm
not only even gonna mention Dwyane, you know, dine down
and like you know, coming to an end out. What
I'm saying is, how do we maximize what he brings
to that organization, you know, to the game of baseball?
(29:24):
How do you maximize that? I think durability is something
that I would I love talking about because I wasn't
the durable guy that I wanted to be. And when
you're not available, it's there's your there's your answer, right,
Like I wasn't available enough to speak on like, well
(29:44):
you got to be you know, you gotta post, you
gotta post. I commend dudes that post. I love dudes
that go out there and you can look at their
track worker and say, well he's posted for the last
three four years and one to fifty plus one fifty
five plus. I need that dude on my team. How
do you get that out of old timey you? For me
to watch that game consistently every night he pitches when
(30:05):
I'm up. You know, I'm fifty three years old now
and been out the game for a while. For me
to watch that game late at night on West Coast. Oh,
tiny needs a band lineup. I need to see him
playing none against other dudes. But he's just a difference
maker like that. For me to watch that game and
watch what he's doing, and everybody's mentioning Unicorn and all
these things, and it's great. I think it's phenomenal. Yes,
(30:27):
he's going the Hall of Fame. I think it's great.
But how do you maximize for that team moving forward?
If you want to throw in the contract, cool, how
do you get that? How do you get the best
out of that? And that's protecting him from some sort
of whatever it is, maybe not hitting as much, maybe
you know, every sixth day, maybe missing the start, whatever
(30:47):
it is. It's important to to you know, listen to
and it's important for a tiny to be truthful to
them and say, hey, man, I'm feeling a little you know, fatigue,
you know, a dead arm, whatever case may be. And
if that's the case, then I know for a fact
Dave Robinson and the whole organization will protect that. But
(31:10):
he has to be truthful in making sure that they
stay on top of anything or everything that happens for
him moving forward, because he's that important to not just
their winning, but just the overall fan base on what
they mean, you know, what he means to la What do.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
You make of just kind of the because they've showed
patience with pie Has last year, right in the playoffs
he went through like a yeah, three for forty five slump.
But you know, we're watching hay Son Kim and we're
watching Alex Friedland and some of these young players, and
out here we're just so used to well, you know
they're going to be on that plane to Oklahoma City,
you know when so and so when Mookie gets back
and say thing like Kyle Hurd, he's going to be
(31:47):
gone when Snell gets back. Is what do you think
the balance is for the front office to try to
give these guys, these young players, as much rope as
they can and much opportunity as they can to prove
that they're everyday big leaguers. I'll still kind of having
this older roster and feeling the need to you know,
win every game and win a World Series. Is that
a tough thing to balance? And do you think they're
(32:07):
doing a good job of it.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
I do think they're doing a good job of it.
Is it tough to balance? Absolutely, because you do have
these guys coming back and you know, I think the
one thing I've seen and dealt with or you know,
of course with twenty plus years, is too you won't
be the first, definitely won't be the last that happened
to have going back to Oklahoma City or dealing with
(32:31):
you know, whether you're playing well and you might have
to show an end of the stick and have to
go back to Triple A for a little bit, you know,
but you always about leaving the last impression on that
organization to let them know that you can play at
the big league level. It's about consistency, or it's about
understanding the role that has changed for you as a
player when you get to the big leagues. Right, it's
(32:52):
not going to be the position that you came up with.
May it might it might be something totally different, and
you have to make that adjustment on the fly. So
I think when you look at these dudes getting, you know,
an opportunity, one of the one of the best things.
One of the coaches says me a long time ago.
He was like, it's free. Like what you mean, coaches,
it's free. The opportunity is free, it's air, an opportunity.
(33:15):
Take advantage of it. Don't put pressure on yourself. Play
the game you can, and doctors watching the whole everybody's watching,
and you Freeman's watch.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Everybody's watching.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
And it's about the little things you bring to the
team that's going to take that team, you know, to
the top. It's never about the big things. If you
bring the big things, three homers, cool, that's cool. But
if you can make a play, if you can get
that pressures out that you need, if you can do
some of the little things, then you're always being the
hunt of being on you know, on that roster. Uh
(33:45):
you know when when when time b towards the postseason.
That to me is how you establish yourself as a youngster,
especially on really good teams, on teams that are just
you know, fighting for you know, just to stay above water.
To stay above five hundred. That do opportunity is going
to last for one hundred and fifty plus games. You're
going to get the ride out and get your feet
up on you. You don't get that luxury on good
teams at times. So I think Doc and those guys
(34:08):
have done a good job of just, you know, allowing
these dudes to play their games, get their feet wet
a little bit, and then say, hey, you know what's coming,
So just prepare yourself for this. But give me what
you've got right now, and I guarantee your time of
come and get the great.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Cliff Floyd is our guest from the MLB Network. Before
we let you go, Cliff got to ask you, you
know what, Dodgers, notwithstanding I know the Mets are terrible
and Philly's old. Like you said, the Braves are coming
to town. They've been good. What's been the biggest surprise
to you in the first quarter of the season here?
Speaker 5 (34:44):
So, you know what, I love a lot of teams
that are that are fighting right. I mean, it's it's
just when you look at the Oakland, you know they're coming. Well,
I say Sacramento as I'll get caught up every once
in a while call Oakland, but the Sacramento I am
surprised by the Cubs and what they've been able to
do without having starting pitching. Right when you lose a
(35:06):
Cade Horton, a Justin Steele, you know, now, Matthew Boyd,
you have a revamped bullpen and you're doing what you're
doing the last three days to the cisin ires, who
are real in my opinion, that that is phenomenal. I mean, listen,
I expected the Cubs to probably win that in L Central,
but to do it without pitching, And I've always said,
(35:29):
if you don't have pitching, you're probably gonna come up last.
They've shot me. But I think in L Central is
one division. While I'm looking at going Wow, I inspect
all these teams to be five hundred above.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
He's the best. Should we get him a couple times
a year and we're better for it. Our listeners can
revel in the Baseball Conversation seventeen seasons in the Big
League's World Series Champion. You watch them on MLB Network.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
And now for a segment that I've already lost interest
in before this open is finished only kids.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
All right, guys, I got three quick stories for you.
One just happened to me about two hours ago. Got here,
started to heat up my lunch, made a coffee, and
I ran into an FM jock host from the fifth
floor from ninety two point three. I have to come
down and use our kitchen well, because it's our kitchen
is the only kitchen, and it's got the best coffee
(37:37):
machine ever. And he was making a coffee and I
ran into this gentleman two days ago and I was like, hey,
how many coffee is you usually drink a day. It's like, oh,
usually two, but this is number one. So today I
saw him again. I'm like, hey, little small talk, what
number coffee is this today? He goes, this is number two,
and he's like, full disclosure, I drink coffee. But I
used to be a big energy drink guy. I'm like, hey,
me too, He goes, I was a five hour energy guy.
(37:59):
I'm like, he goes, yeah, I'd have a cup of
coffee in the morning in five hour in the afternoon,
and he goes, But I had to stop that, and
I said, really, me too, because I had so many
energy drinks. My gallbladder had to be taken out. He
stopped what he was doing, looked at me, and he said,
shut up. I said, no, no, it happened to me.
In twenty eleven, he goes the exact same thing happened
to me.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Oh my god, two gallbladder brothers at the same cluster
of radio station.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
He said, I was on the air and had to
get rushed to the hospital and had my gallbladder taken out.
And the doctor told him it was because of all
the sugar and the energy drinks that he was drinking. Wow.
He at the time was doing mornings and I was like,
no way, You're the only other person I've heard of radio.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Radio is a terrible pandemic of people losing their gallbladders
because of a energy energy drink addiction.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
Right, and they bring us the fridge. They would Red
Bull used to drop off cases of sugar free Red
Bull Dolly after Dolly. Yeah, truly, they would Dolly in
like eight cases at the case.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Has never been able to refuse freestyle, no never, and
uh yeah. And then that turned into five hour energy.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
Well who was it?
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Was it?
Speaker 4 (39:11):
Secrets Cruise. I was cruised from ninety two three Judas
an awesome guy by the guy and you got no
gallbladder though now I wish he had miss And so
we're like talking and I said, you know, my doctor said, hey, no,
you know, no dairy, no cheeses, no spicy stuff, you know,
And he goes, yeah, I don't listen to that stuff.
I don't know. Yeh me two cruise, I think I
(39:35):
met a friend today cruise from the Cruise show. I'll
meet you at Don Cucko's very cool. So look at
that no energy drinks.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
So the let's have a schooner together.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
I like to think the stairway to Kevin actually brought
together the fourth and fifth floor got into getting to
meet the guy who also had his gallbladder taken out.
So there you go. That's my first story of the day.
The second one.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
Involves our friends and you know what, he kept Matt's
haterism at Bay with the tom We're gonna go north
of the border right now, boys, because as we know,
it is hockey season.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
Yes, the Sanley Cup Playoffs and my Anaheim ducks our
time one one with the Vegas Golden Knights. Game three
tomorrow night back are going to start.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
I watched it last night.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
I was thinking to you, Kate, so I think I
found myself rooting for the Ducks a little bit there.
Did you happen to keep it on T and T
after the game for the postgame show, which is great
by the way, just like the NBA post game show
with Shack and all them, which I know is on ESPN.
Now the hockey post game with Paul Bessonetti. I did
not watch last night. I was watching the basketball there.
They referenced the story that happened on Monday and grewsome
(40:42):
legs over the next forty eight hours because of the
reaction that it god from Toronto, who on Monday introduced
their new general manager, John Jacob. Well backstory, he was
the former GM of the Arizona Phoenix Coyotes back before COVID. Yeah,
and had a falling out there, actually got fired. Who
(41:03):
was suspended by the NHL for a year for trying
to get another job when he had a job in Arizona.
Already real bad guy, I mean just a real bad guy.
And now he's a GM. Now he's the GM of
the Toronto He had a press conference on Monday and
the local Maple Leafe the teeth of the Toronto Rider
(41:25):
got teeth of the hockey media after the Canadians, excuse me,
the blue the Toronto Maplews president Keith Pelly, and here's
the new GM sitting right next to him. And here's
the question from the Rider to the president, Keith Pelly, you.
Speaker 6 (41:39):
Talk about the due diligence that you did on John
prior to hiring him and now hiring him. In the
past say, three to four days, I have been in
contact with about twenty people who work in the National
Hockey League, many of whom are prominent names that we
would all know. And of the twenty people I spoke to,
one was supportive of jos hiring in the other nineteen
(42:01):
thought it was a sham. To be perfectly honest, words
were used like con artist, liar, salesman. How did you
come to a different conclusion that I was able to
come to in a very short time.
Speaker 5 (42:13):
I must have talked to different people.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
That's it, because in the hockey world today is astounded
by this announcement, okay, And your response to.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
That is, as we've conducted due diligence, and it was
deeps on our due diligence.
Speaker 5 (42:30):
It was a thorough process and I'm quite happy with
where we've learned.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
You good answer, So talk to different people.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (42:37):
The phoks in Toronto hate the higher hockey. People hate
the higher And last night Paul Biscinetti is that he
gonna say his name Bissinette. Bescinetti sounds right. He was
on TNT last night and he said he no longer
will talk or roote about the Toronto Maple Leafs because
he hates the organization. So bad for hiring this guy,
because he was in Arizona when everything went down with
(42:59):
the Coyotes and there was a huge fall out there.
And then he went on social media. Paul did and
tweeted out, I ain't coming back to the Leaves all
you hate and leaves fans and my mentions can kiss
my ass.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (43:10):
I don't choose your team over loyalty, so f you
you're on my enemy list. Now game on m RF first. Wow,
bad situation because i'ed a GM guy, yeah, who apparently
is a bad guy.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
Gosh, it seems like it.
Speaker 4 (43:25):
Bad dude.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
I talk to twenty people. Nineteen said it's a sham.
Speaker 5 (43:31):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (43:32):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
Well, the one I liked him, right.
Speaker 6 (43:35):
How did you come to a different conclusion that I
was able to come to in a very short time.
Speaker 4 (43:40):
I must have talked to different people. Okay, that's it.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (43:45):
That is it. Yeah. So apparently they're not happy in Toronto.
So in the third final store for you, I mean
it's been a rough you know, six months giveaway the
world series like that, and they lost Showy Tani six
months even before that. So God, Scottie barn you mentioned
Disneyland a couple of days ago, maybe it was yesterday
on the show Petros. Disneyland back in the news again
(44:05):
today for the ride Atopia. Atopia Autopia Autopia in the
news open in nineteen fifty five when the park opened
on that same day, was one of the original one
of the og rides at Disneyland. It is not going
away altogether, but Atopia as we know it is no
longer going to be a Topia. They're getting rid of
(44:25):
the gas cars. Oh I love sucking on the fumes.
When I was a Topia, that was the highlight and
in an.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
Effort made you feel like you were like I'm in
a racetrack here.
Speaker 4 (44:36):
The patent Disney in an effort to be net zero
for greenhouse Gas Emissions has announced that in the next
year they will replace all the fully gas powered Autopia
cars with a new full fleet of electric vehicles that
kids can ride on. Now, Matt, the Austropia was great
(44:56):
because you'd hit the gas and it would just yes,
search forward and you'd run into the car.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
There you're kid with you got the fuel feeling right,
feeling with the fuel Ejectionhow horses under there?
Speaker 4 (45:09):
Man, I don't want killawatts. I want horse power. And
then as a dad when your kids there and the
excitement they got thinking they're driving the car and they're
having that fuel underneath the pedal, I mean, it's everything,
and now it's gonna be electric.
Speaker 3 (45:20):
This is what they did to f one.
Speaker 4 (45:22):
You know what, Very much like that, very much terrible, terrible. Yeah,
I'm gonna miss the uh you hear the background, Yeah,
the lawnmower engine. Then you hit that dad's pedal. But
you know, I would just jump off that line. Man.
Speaker 3 (45:35):
At least we still have avalon at Catalina where all
the golf carts are gas powered, so everybody's feet are
black as coal. Everybody's feet looked like barkuna.
Speaker 4 (45:48):
Oh weeze. So there you go. Electric cars coming to Atopia.
They're pissed in Toronto about the hire of their GM.
Speaker 3 (45:57):
Is like you.
Speaker 4 (45:58):
No, he's just like you.
Speaker 3 (46:01):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (46:02):
That's it, three stories for you.
Speaker 3 (46:04):
I left my radio career because it was going to
take my gallbladder.
Speaker 4 (46:10):
Took a piece of me, literally, I should ask Sweet James.
By the way, if it's too late to see class
action lawsuit, Yeah, I lost an organ because of these
energy drinks. What are you willing to give to AM radio?
Is it correlation or causation. Let's get to the bottom
of it, Kate's and make millions. Do crazy people play football?
(46:31):
Or does football make people crazy? Word number song coming
up next. I can make you millions.

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
