Speaker 3 (00:39):
The mystery of human existence lies not just in staying alive,
but in finding something to live for.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Look on me, you expect us in Money A five
to seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
making our way until seven o'clock. Matt vesk Urson in
the very next segment Dodgers Yankees Tomorrow from the gapin
Motor Broadcast Booth, First Pitch at seven to ten pm.
Dodgers on Decad six, we will give away a pair
of tickets to Dodgers Yankees this hour, this hour, will
(01:11):
we bust a break whoa no, but we will give
away Wow, Matt, that's like the sort of damocles. You
just huddle Dodgers Yankees tickets at some point this hour.
That's big time man. We'll be out there tomorrow broadcasting
live from the M five seventy LA Sports Suite Show.
You're right, you will not be in the suite with
us if you win the tickets, but you will be
at Dodger Stadium? Is that right? Cakes? They're not sweet tickets, right, corract.
(01:36):
I think there's sweet tickets for time way, So.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
We're giving away sweet tickets, but we don't have any
from my kid? Who's okay? Oh that's good? Uh?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Caller ten, Hello, Hello, this is Fletcher. It is congratulations.
What's where you calling from? Atop the hill? I hate
everybody so deeply.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
You go back up on the hill anyway, Dodgers Matts.
We got Matt Vess Curzon coming on in the very
next segment. We had Don McClain and a very fired
up David Vass, who's got Andre E through with Dodger talking.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
He is coming up in the five o'clock hour, and
again Vass cursion in the very next segment, somebody with
great national perspective and all that ails the Dodgers with
their twelve blown saves. Of those twelve blown saves, I'd
love to know how many games they still won because
they hit so many damn dongers, like in the bottom
(02:28):
of the ninth after the save was blown.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Baseball stats, I would check that, you know, or maybe
ask vast cursions.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
That's the kind of stuff that vast cursion that could
When you say twelve blown saves, he probably it won
six of those games with you know, five of them
were blown by Tennis Scott, Right, So we have to
get into have that conversation. And in the first hour
we had a lot of conversations. We talked to our
new intern cross country Ben who uh is here to
help us this summer an LMU Lion, an LMU lion
(02:59):
cross count tree runner. They canceled his program.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
They canceled this program, but they persevered with the club team.
Appreciate that we aired some dirty laundry about our past.
And now, Matt, we're going to fire up an old
machine of the past, a machine that has gone berserk
on us. Another great tease, right, you think Dan Woiki
was inappropriate? The Laminator went crazy on Twitter, physical threats,
(03:22):
threats of physical violence. I have once again, we need
scissors being issued. Well, you know what, No, we don't
need scissors, would laminate at first, and then we scissor.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Well, Kates wants to run a test page. He's a
little concerned that your idea is still in there. Okay,
we'll call it the word of the day. Okay, and
we'll say this Laminator his words, the word of the day.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
What I have is my twenty twenty five, twenty twenty
six member card for the San Pedro Elks Club.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
When's the last time you were at the Elks Club?
Like last year?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Okay, but but I'm gonna try to get there more.
You know, we got friends in San Pedro and friends
that live in South Shores and Matt this is my club.
And you know, what if I what if I want
to go to two shows? What if I want to
go to the Elks and Ridondo, I still need my card?
What if I want to go to the Elks and
tell you ride, I still need my card? What is
(04:11):
the test not working? How's it going?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's it's it's wonky, okay, but it's working. I mean
it's got like a big fold on the top. All right,
that's okay, we can put this in the middle. That's
thinking right.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
See what happened was we there was a time that
Tim Kates went laminator crazy. It might have been he
was huffing the fumes or something. Jim went laminate or
nuts and would laminate everything.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
He would laminate our t sheet every day.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
He laminated his arm. He was crazy. And we tried
to laminate my ID card at work during COVID to
keep it clean, and it was it broke. The machine melted,
my face melted, were a doll.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I could not see it.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
They opened the arc of melting Nazi from the end
of Raiders of the Lost Dark is Uh So, how's that?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
You tell me I'd be comfortable with that? I think
that's that's certainly. I'm okay with this. This is good enough.
I mean, Kates, you are a real weird perfectionist with
the laminator. If this isn't good enough, and you're saying
this wonkiness and the test sheet is due to what
we did to that laminator five years ago. During Kates
has said that he believes your ID is still partially
stuck in there. Remember your id like split in half. Yeah,
(05:27):
my face became strat and so it's partially and that's
what's caught. My face stretched out to get off track.
It's like it's got I guess a little bit.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Here.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
This is my wife's elks and mine, so they all
need to be uh laminated together and then cut properly.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
What are you doing there? Drop the sheet? Okay, okay,
here we go. He's got to strategically place this all right?
Do you have to cut it? Kate's do you have
to cut? After? Cut after? That's the key to laminating.
You know? How do I do? I give you a
How do you know? I'm the laminador?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Not you?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
There we go. Last time a piece of your personal
property went through the laminador, the laminador rejected it. They
burned my face on that. They stretched it. Okay, is
it in? Is it? Bean fed?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Who? God?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
No? No, dude, no cats no, it's not good. Dude, no,
not good. Pull it out. It's not good.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Pull it out?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Oh God injected? Not like this? What happened?
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Am I?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Not like this? That's my id? What happened? Try to
get can you pull the laminator apart? I don't think
you can all right, cut it. No, what you got
to do is cut it and then put the other
one in. What the hell? Why did the test one work?
(06:55):
Why did this work? Maybe you had to put Oh
I don't know. Is that thicker paper? That a heavier stock.
We have doubled up and it's heavier stock. This is terrible.
How could that have happened? Elaminator? It melted your face
and now it ruined your Elk's card. Why did it
use the test fine? Why did it do that? Listen?
(07:18):
I'm not an elk, but I know the rule. You
don't get a second card a new one. It's over.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
You're out of the Elk. You can only go to
the VFW. It looks like Knights of Columbus for me.
Why is my day gone like this? This test page
was perfect. I got rejected for trying to get my
kid in the Yankee game by a jealous promotions man
(07:44):
named Dave Weeze.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
He's just coming back in. Here we go. We're gonna
let's see if he get let's see if he can
get this thing fixed. I saw him in there. He's
now back. What do we got? Let me see he's
supposed to walk in No that doesn't work. My wife,
My wife needs a card. Let me see that. You
can't leave me mid quite as. Let me see it.
(08:08):
It's flat puss. Wow, this is really asked not okay,
this is super asked up.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I respect the elks, but the benevolent people of the elks.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yes see, you got. I think what we have to
do is we have to cut his card off. He's
going to do it and then feed Dana's while we
do that.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Let's do uh, because I have the spouse one from
my wife right, and you're you screwed that one up.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Kate's. Yeah, that is dude. It's kind of fault you have.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
You kind of it felt like you sort of took
pleasure in it not working, and that bothers me.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I took that personally. Look at this and and Matt
social matters in here. This is he's got on his
face too, like he thinks it's cool. It's not cool.
This ain't cool. You got to use your scissors for that.
You got to make a clean breaku. Is he scissors?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Oh it's not of the number of the here's my
number number of the day.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
All right, So what's this? This is his congratulations?
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
That's the an ELK, I need the scissors. Do you
have to cut off the white part? Yeah? Oh yeah,
so you can cut off the white part so it
fits in the wallet? Yeah, exactly? What am I? What
am I? Chick? Look at this? All right? I'm enthralled.
I mean, I want to do the number of the day. Well,
(09:30):
what is it? It's one? But let's see because he's
about to feed it through and Matt's got the video going, Oh,
you want the other one back? Are you gonna double up?
Are you gonna double it up? You think that's a
good idea? He said, no. Off, Mike, do you think
that's a good idea? He said no? Should you have
it down a little bit lower? So the lamination is.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
The first time we've taken risks with the Laminator. Hey,
all right, here we go. This is a real risk
reward situation. I don't I don't like the idea of
putting his through a second time. I'm gonna I'm gonna
go on record here.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
All right? Is it you broke it?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Because you broke the motor. You broke it? Oh, here
we go. All right, Matt's filming it's in which one's
on top Petros is on top? Do they both say Petros, Well,
she works for me, Petro Media LLC. All right, I'm waiting.
(10:34):
I'm looking on this side. Now it's not coming out.
It better come out, Kates. No, it should be coming out.
It should be coming out of it should be come
This is crazy. It's now it's really asked up. Kate's
just said, can you get other cards off? Mike out?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Completely hate it. Oh my god, can't quick go get
a Phillips. Just do the number of the day, not
a flathead, get a Phillips.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Here's my number number of the day.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
I mean, this is a terrible day for me. It's
just really gonna right. I don't know what's say.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Like, I really don't know what. I was really excited.
I know I was excited to get the Lamad so
crazy about it. We should have never done the task. Well,
I don't think it had anything to do it because
it look went through. It looks great. But maybe it's
because that. I don't think that. I think the Lamonader
has a personality. It had threats of physical violence against
(11:44):
us on social media, and now with an opportunity to
atone for those mistakes and those threats. I mean it
ate that sheet like that. I don't know what we're
gonna find when we open this thing up. After we
get a Phillips Phillips had, it's gone. Yeah, They're all gone.
(12:05):
I'm sorry. This seems like a just do your numbers.
It seems like a trifle.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Well, we gotta do sports talk, Matt, and we gotta
work this number despite the bitter disappointments of my life, the.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Numb We gotta ask Cursion in a second, I gotta
get out of here. We go quickly. The number of
the day is one. Is there anything more annoying? And again,
I'm gonna play the victim here because that is what
this show is all about, all about all about being
a victim. Is there anything more annoying? Because look, Rogan
and Rodney don't come into this studio ever. So when
we leave, the studio is exactly as we left it.
(12:39):
We are the only live show in this room. Got
John Wooden's dan It you see. Yes, the Dodger broadcast
airs from a separate studio that runs the Dodger games.
So when I come in today to do the show,
and I go to sit down in this chair and
someone has adjusted it so it is damn near on
(12:59):
the ground. My ass falls an extra six inches, not
expecting to fall that six inches before I hit the chair.
I did see you go down and the spinal column
is compacted because of that. Did you screwed up your
tail screwed up my spine and my tailbone? Because I
expect the chair to be in a specific spot, and
yet it was lowered all the way to the ground.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
I heard that was what Joe McDonald's issue was, and
the arm rest was put off. Do you know who
was in here who would have ft with this chair
so as to yesterday compact my spine between the time
I left it yesterday at seven pm when we got
off the air and today at three o'clock time check.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
I got here about eleven thirty, and I did not
see anybody in the studio in my time here until now.
The only people that have been in the studio been
you got.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I've got two words for you. And I would never
have said this if I didn't learn on Instagram over
the weekend that he is a hop keto master.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Mo Kelly mo Kelly.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
He was the one in here at night up stairs
and down the stairs in his nightdown like Wee Will
and Winki Moe Kelly. That'd be my guest. Yeah, he's
got a whole production crew up in here.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Don't mess with him. He's got a piano player like
the Magic Hour. You can really injure somebody, you know,
you lower a seat like that, I expect my ass
to be stopped at a certain point, and now I'm
dropping an extra six inches, and now I have compacted
my spinal column and have an aching back.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Maybe it was stefoosh. Maybe he had to maybe get
away for a couple of minutes to need to sit
Matt's chair.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I do have this to say. I think we need
a new laminator. I don't think it.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I was on Amazon dot com. We can get one
with forty sheets of laminating paper for thirty nine dollars.
I don't think we should have to buy it. I
think the station should provide it.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Station won't even reimburse us from mileage. They won't, will they.
Kate's no, what are you talking about. I just had
to drive down to Monarch.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Bay, That's what I mean. So did I. And that's
a cash Kyle right there. That's a hundred bucks. But
you're so much closer than I him. Now you do
it from the station I know, so we each go
from Bourbon. Well, that's bus job. That's right expense to
have a job. I'm obviously not happy at all the
new expense. Be happy to have a job. Run e.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
This is a song of the day.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I can't believe this happened.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Gratitude is our song of the day of the nineteen
eighty four debut solo record titled so Low from singer, songwriter, musician,
producer and birthday boy Danny Elfman accompanied by members of
Oingo Boingo, A nice flashback in the new wave style
on a crenchy groove Thursday, showing our gratitude by filling
(15:36):
you with four full hours of groovy tunes and great
sports talk on an off day for the Dodgers with
the New York Yankees in town tomorrow, which means that
you'll get an off day edition of Dodger Talk with
our dear friend David Vase, Hey, roaming the halls aimlessly.
You'll be here at seven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Thank you. You know what I should do. Kate's just
frantically unplugged the Laminator. I think it started eating the
cards again. Just turned off right and start eating like
Christine the car.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Uh. Somebody just made a brilliant point, looking back to
the covid era, that this laminator started to destroy our lives.
Leave it like it is Kate's and let me bring
the hatchet on Monday, and we're going to take it
to this laminator.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Well I do want the car? Yeah, well, I mean
if they don't exist anymore though, Oh no, we're gonna
save it. It's like CPR right now.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
This guy texted, I feel like that reporter watching the
Hindenburg go up and play. Oh god, pardon my emotions.
Oh god. Oh and somebody's somebody says, I bet it
was an it guy. They always leave the chairs low.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Oh okay, I bet it wasn't Dios brother. I bet
it was Espergomas and an old man who's already got
back problems like that. Here we go, Matt Vask Gersham
will join us next.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
What way?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
I was cracking everybody, Welcome back, Petrusen money on m
FI seventy LA sports was my Elk's card retrieved. What
happened here just a terrible moment with our laminator. I mean,
it's even worse than what happened back during COVID when
the laminator ate my work ID that was replaceable. I
(17:22):
don't know if my elk's ID is replaceable. But a
very difficult time, to say the least. Here at the station.
We got off night. Dodger talked tonight with the one
and only David Vassay. He will be here at seven
and Andre Ethier will join him and we'll have Dodgers
Yankees tomorrow. We have Dodgers Yankees tickets to give away.
(17:49):
We didn't give those away yet, have we No, we
did not give away the Dodger Yankee tickets yet. And
the Laminator is just sitting there half broken as we wait.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Matt ves Kershem. I was trying to repair it, and
uh what happened?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Matt?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Well, it really ate your cards, completely ate them. They're gone,
They're gone gone. Uh call her ten right now. Eight
sixty six nine eight seven five seven. What am I
going to say to my wife? We gotta get a
new cards, sweetheart. I mean, I understand I have.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
To tell her that I don't have tickets to the
Yankees Dodgers game for my son's birthday, and that the
laminator ate our cards.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I think on the on the former, we get you
some tickets some other way, but I don't want to.
Now I'm bitter, and I don't want to any I
think push aside the bitterness. The bitterness is real. Yeah,
I know, I know, but I think you push that aside. Well,
I mean, and it's kind of get him into the game,
and then we bring him into the suite.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Now that I've been so wronged, it's kind of hard
to separate the Laminator eating my cards, Dave Weese's bad attitude,
me not getting the tickets, you know, all of those things,
and it's all.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
A ball of fury. Much like you're back with the back.
Somebody snuck into our studio, lowered the seat to a
point where I did not expect it, and now my
spinal column is compacted, and that ain't right, not cool.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Joining us right now on your Southern California Toyota Dealers
Celebrity Hotline. One of the all time great baseball men
on Earth from the MLB Network, Emmy Award winner, Emmy
Award winning Armenian American Joining us live from Hoover High
School on the hills of Glendale. It is bro Matt
(19:37):
vask Gershon on the Petrosen Money Show to chop it
up about baseball. You know, we got we gotta touch
base with our baseball guys as the season goes on,
and there's nobody more baseball than ves Gersha, what's cracking?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Are you?
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Gentlemen? Thank you for not ignoring America's past time. It's
it's still a good game after all, despite all the
conversation on ESPN, it's it's still a good game.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
We love game.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
And those guys suck over there. Yeah, they do best cursion.
They're not great like you wanted to put it.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
By the way, I think the thing with the with
the injured back, I mean, I know a number of
really easy to contact attorneys in Pasadena and Glendale that
could help you.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Out with that. Is it a Is it a billboard
that I might be able to find along one of
the many freeways here in the greater Los Angeles area.
All you gotta do is just dial eight eight something.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Yeah, they would say it like this, Ohm's come.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Yeah, Yeah, that's almost as good as you're Getty Lee,
the great math past cursion hero to baseball types everywhere.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
You know here in La we worry.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
About this and that and this guy sucks and this
picture got his got his his chest ripped out and
all this. But the Dodgers, I think nationally, most people
aren't worried about him, are they, Matt. We're just in
our own little echo chair, aren't we.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Yeah, nobody's worried about the Dodgers. It's a fay a
company that they'll be there at the end of the year.
They'll likely make a long, deep run, maybe even another
World Series appearance, maybe even another World Series win. I mean,
they're that good. And the regular season is it's long,
it's you know, one hundred and sixty two games over
(21:22):
one hundred and eighty days. They don't have a very
big lead in the division, but that's I don't think
anybody assumes anything other than the fact that the Dodgers
are going to win the West. And you know, if
they're healthy and the pitching has been you know, they've
been dinged up, that's for sure. They're going to be
there at the end of the year. And this this
weekend will be a nice litmus test with the Yankees,
(21:43):
because this is not the same Yankee team that they
dispatched in five games in the fall of last year.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Matt what, as someone that certainly knows you know a
number of these stories, What is it with bullpen guys?
Like how can Tanner Scott be so dominent prior to
signing that free agent deal and then have such a
rough start to his time with the Dodgers? Where now
when the bullpen door opens and we see him walk out,
you're like, oh, no, Like it's a real weird feeling
(22:13):
to have when that's kind of your initial reaction when
that guy walks out.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Yeah, it's really true. I mean, look that that guy
was elite, elite. He wasn't just good. He was top
one percent and seen as a finishing piece when he
joined the Dodgers. That wasn't just oh they added a
quality arm. That's like, oh, no one else has a
chance now. So the only explanation when a guy like
(22:39):
that struggles. And I think the Yankees are going through
something similar with Devin Williams, even though he's had a
little better returns lately. I don't know, and I'm this
is pure speculation on my part, but sometimes in a
generic sense, if a guy's not right physically and he
doesn't want to say anything, the perception is that his
performance is bad. For something inexplicable, where maybe there's something
(23:02):
going on with him physically that we don't know about
and he doesn't want to tell anybody about. Maybe there's
something going on at home that we don't know about
that he doesn't want to tell anybody about because it's
the same guy. After all. It's hard to factor because
again he's elite.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Matt.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
That's a shamed Matt. Yeah, I mean, what if something's
going on, I don't know. I'm not privy to that information.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
So I've just got to go with what I got.
I have to shower against him. My shower's broke. What
about what's in a terrible mood? Every day? Terrible?
Speaker 5 (23:33):
That's why you know Doc's going to give him every
opportunity to pitch out of it. If, if, if, if,
none of those things are true, then he's going to
give him a lot of canvas to get it right.
And that's where the Dodgers can do things that other
teams that have to sing for their supper can't. They
can afford to give a guy plenty of space and
plenty of outings to get it right because they know
(23:56):
that the supporting cast around and everybody else is good
and they're gonna win anyway. You get one guy who's
having a bad year, let him work it out. All
he has to do is find it by September.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Man, what about like, what is then do it until September?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
What are we going to talk about? What's the talk about?
What's the outsider perspective on the pitching injuries? I mean,
it's not just one or two, it's not just three
or four. It's trying. It's Copek, it's Evan Phillips, it's
Kirby Yates, it's Tyler Glass. Now it's Blake's Like, it
is crazy what we're dealing with here.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Yeah, and it's all different. It's all different flavors too.
It's not if they were all like Tyler Glass, Now,
who were you know, these huge six six dudes chipped
out of granite who throw it as hard as they
can every pitch, then you'd say, Okay, there's maybe maybe
something's wrong here philosophically. But Kirby Yates is not that
(24:52):
kind of guy. He's a little bit more of a
touch and feel guy. Evan Phillips is not that kind
of guy. I don't know. And it's not just a
Dodger problem. By the way. You know, MLB likes to
talk about all these studies that they commissioned to try
to get to the root of all evil, and yes,
last year they did one on the pitching injuries. The
determination that they came up with, and it's not a
(25:12):
huge stretch, was that guys get to spring training without
being ramped up, without being stretched out. They start a
program once they arrive, and then they get hurt as
opposed to, you know, maintaining during the winter. I find
it hard to believe that a guy who's at the
top of his craft in twenty twenty five isn't throwing
side sessions all winter long or doing stuff that's going
(25:35):
to benefit his arm. I don't know. I mean, the
Dodgers have certainly worn it because at the beginning of
the season we were talking legitimately about having two rotations.
They had a ten man starting rotation. Now they're doing
stuff like stunting a rotation by putting an opener in.
I mean, Gonzolin tomorrow, you know, he's he's back. He's
had some mixed results, and you hope that Kershaw straightens
(25:56):
it out and becomes Clayton Kershaw again. Again. Not at
all about the Dodgers not at all.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Kershaw is like Gary Busey in Rookie of the Year.
Now he's like, I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Will happen if I fire up my arm again. Kid,
he's throwing eighty five. It's it's concerning.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
The great bad mass scursion from MLB Network is with us.
He is one of the best baseball broadcasters in our
in our opinion, of all time. You can watch him
coming up on the Emmy Award winning MLB tonight at
six thirty Pacific time and watch them call MLB Network
Showcase games all season long.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
He is fabulous.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Would you trade schemes right now if you are Pittsburgh
to get four dudes that can all freaking start right
now and raise the pirate flag?
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Great question?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, wow, that's great question.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Question.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Here's here's the on that taturns the gong.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Nice. Last year, there was saying the same thing at
the deadline about Trek Scooble because at the time June,
the Tigers were not good. It didn't look like they
were gonna be good. And I know for fact that
your Dodgers made an offer for him. I didn't get names,
(27:17):
but apparently it was a pretty intriguing package that they
offered the Tigers for him. The Tigers said no, and
I thought at the time that they were nuts because
you could flip the organization. Well, lo and behold, the
Tigers get hot, and now they're pretty lucky that they
have him. I don't see the Pirates being that way,
but I didn't see the Tigers being that way last
(27:38):
year either. Pittsburgh doesn't spend any money in the free
agent market. At least the Tigers will go out there
and spend Pittsburgh has. They've been shut out ten times
this year. They're not That lineup is not good. It's
just not They've missed on draft picks. They don't supplement
the existing group with the free agent market. So the
answer to your question is, yes, I would. I would.
(27:59):
I would entertain trades for him because they're not going
to win with him, and you know, pitching is fickle.
You never assume a guy is going to get hurt.
But man, for a guy who is as generationally talented
as he is, you could return something really special.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
For him with and certainly it seems like the Dodgers
have the pieces that could get something like that done.
And it does seem like that's something that they're excited
to do. They're more than happy to use their pharm
system to acquire major league players. They've done it in
the past, and they've done it at every single deadline.
I don't know why I had to say all of that.
You just so eloquently laid out the case for trading Force.
(28:38):
It was good stuff. Yeah, help reiterate the point. And
I wasn't stalling to get to this question because I
already had this thing locked and ready to ask you
are because we are on the West Coast, are we
ignoring Aaron Judge in the season that he is having,
much like the East Coast tends to ignore. And I'm
speaking for us, we have not done a whole lot
of Aaron Judge talk what they do to superstars on
(28:59):
the West Coast. And is this like the best superstar
showdown that we're going to have in baseball this year
between Judge and Otani.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Yeah, yes, and yes it is the best superstar showdown.
And it was the same way when and this was
without as much of a back of the baseball card
a few years ago, when Shohy was an Anaheim and
Aaron Judge was still a Yankee. Those were great showdowns,
and that's when Sho Hay was pitching and doing what
he's doing with the bat. You'd be able to answer
(29:30):
the other question better than I. As far as does
the West Coast ignore Aaron Judge or not get the
whole package. I think this that we're not that far away,
and this is gonna I don't know, maybe some people
will disagree with this. I don't think we're that far
away three to five years from counting Aaron Judge among
the all time greats. He's had good seasons. He's won
(29:54):
two MVP Awards, He's got the American League single season
home run record. Well, he's doing this here. The start
he's off to this season is better than those years
where he's done that. So generational talent. I've used that
one already, but it's really true of Aaron Judge. I
could blow you away with the numbers. He's slugging over
(30:14):
fifteen hundred, is on base is over five hundred. It's
sick what he's doing well. Runners in scoring position is
ops is over thirteen hundred. I mean, it's the laundry
list of accolades. And he's going to be viewed as
one of the all time greats in short order, I.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Think Matt mass kershon, there's nobody better. What about your
Halos though they wont seven in a row? Now they
love five straight?
Speaker 5 (30:37):
What hey, yeah, we'll see. We'll see tomorrow. I'm actually
going to Cleveland tomorrow to pick up the Halos for
the weekend.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
And then you better avoid the Dazzler in the dug
out there. The Dazzlers up there too.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
See easy, I don't know, I just got Dazzler Jake.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Sorry, I know that's the Jake anymore. I'm sorry. I'm
say you.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
Know, while we're on the topic of broadcasts, and I'm
I'm only thinking of this because I'm watching the Phillies
and Braves right now. Have you guys seen the Instagram feed?
And maybe I shouldn't be given this guy any play
because it's it's troubling me. It's called funny Announcers. And
this dude has got AI voice capture of certain Major
(31:30):
league announcers and certain NFL and NBA announcers and he's
having the AI do fake play by play over real
game footage. It's very convincing. I mean, the the Tom
McCartney and John Kruck, the Phillies announcers. It sounds just
like them, and the stuff that they're saying is incendiary,
(31:51):
it's blue, it's abjectionable. You don't want your kids hearing it.
But we're we're going down a slippery slope here Major
League Baseball and the Phillies they up this guy down
can be thinking fake phone calls as John Cruck because
it's that. The AI voice simulation is that good. It's
so scary.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
This is John Crook. I need all my money out
of my bank account right now immediately.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yeah. I have not seen that, and I don't know
if I want to see you.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
No.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I I just followed it, and you're.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Gonna laugh, and then you're gonna be like, oh my god,
what are we doing here? This this frightening?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
How long do you think it trickles down to the
late night Mountain West game? For me there, Matt.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Matter, it's it's only a matter of seasons before that happens. Man,
there's gonna be Ai Petros. They're all out there, man,
nothing to say. A Victor brick and I could do
Vic the brick. We don't need AI for that, sure,
(32:58):
I want I want Ai. Patrick O'Neill everywhere. That's what
I want.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
That's the best. Listen everywhere. Listen. I got a couple
of stories to tell you during this game about myself.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Now, what.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
A great time. We're all friends. That's not who we
were talking about. We were talking about that other guy
over there. Yeah, that won the dazz the one guy
that does that thing. We love you there, you stayed
a bridge too far. The Great Mad mask Ursion, MLB
Network and me award winning. They're probably gonna take it
away now. Thank you, Matt.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
You guys are the best. You always get me in
trouble though.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Thank you for that's what we do. Well, look what
happened to my my elks id it ate it? Who
was our winner? Who won the Yankee tickets?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Not me?
Speaker 2 (33:42):
So wait a minute. They won't give me tickets, but
they'll give them to one of our listeners.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Fletcher P from the Hill, Let me go. Fletcher P
from the Hill. Larry koons k u n Z Larry
Koon's congratulations Larry. We're going till seven pm. David Vesse
next hour. I don't think I'm comfortable being in the
sweet with Larry. I'm gonna have to confiscate Dave about
the trade. That's eh yeah, oh well, for sure. Paul
(34:10):
will be out at Dodger Stadium tomorrow. Dodgers Yankees coming
up for three over the weekend, and then Dodgers Mets,
so a whole lot of New Yorkers between now and
next Thursday, when the Dodgers face in a World Series rematch,
the Yanks first, then the Mets second. You'll hear it
all right here on your home of the World Series
Champion Dodgers AM five seventy LA Sports. And if you're
(34:32):
in the Greater LA area, remember you can hear those
games through the iHeartRadio app on.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Your smartphone, not your freaking burner, dirty dog phone. Can't
listen to anything on there, can except for your life
falling apart on the other line.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Get here on Apple TV too, sings up perfectly with
the game. On Apple TV. Just click home Radio right there,
AM five seven you can listen to the game. You
get that. Instead of the Dazzler as you like to
call him in don Trell, that's his nickname. It's his
nickname is given by you.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
No, that's his nickname, right, the Dazzler, that's what he
calls himself. I mean, I think that's his media company,
Dazzler Media. I'm pretty sure that's how he gets paid.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Dazzler Dude Media.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Yeah, Dazzler doesn't all he dazzles Wayne Wren Dazzle. I
have a cousin named Joey Ran Dazzle, but he works
at the docks.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
No relationship. Do you call him the Dazzler. No, he's
sleeved up and he's a hard ass. I wouldn't mess
with Joey.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
All right, I got a story for you because Matt,
I was looking at the h I think you're gonna
like this. I was looking at the Bleacher Report this morning, Matt,
and I don't know why, but I saw a ranking
that they did on all the new City Connect Gang.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Why Connect Gang? The City Connect uniforms, uniform for each
of the squads the major League basement. So so many
of them are bad.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
But like Matt said, in an effort to sell you
a two hundred dollars plus, Jersey teams put these out
every few years. They'll roll with one like, they'll come
out with one in like twenty two, they'll roll with
it till twenty four. They'll come up with a new
one in twenty five.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Tweaked theirs for this year. Tweets slight, tweak. I like them.
I like that sprinkle confetti cake. Look on my on
my baseball jersey. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Yeah, you can't even get through saying it, but that's okay.
They came up with new ones for a lot of
different MLB teams. Matt cluttered as you mentioned the Dodgers
over detailed versions of these jerseys. Uh, the Dodgers are
not innocent. The funfetti is an embarrassment.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
We see a lot more of the funfetti at Dodger
Stadium than you would think, a lot of our opinion
of the jersey.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
It feels like, and don't I don't want to sound
like Evan Roberts, the angry New York guy who was
talking bad about the Dodgers the other day.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Saying he hates them.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
I hate them, I hate them, I will say it
feels like at this point the Dodgers could just put
like times new Roman type LA and sell it for
three hundred bucks. Yea, and people are gonna buy it
because the Dodgers are hot, and that's why we have
them right here on Anti seventy LA. Sports so hot, right,
(37:04):
so hot, and we don't have to revisit the Disney
logo and all the crap that we did, right. I
think the hot New Dodger jersey this year is the
gold one, right, the one with the gold Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Saw it opening opening day beautiful. But the one that
stood out to me is the Giants. I don't know
if you saw this. I'm looking at it right now. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Yeah, they got rid of the Gabe Kapler fog Bridge uniforms,
of course you remember those.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Yeah, we don't like the gradient and they rolled with
the gradients. I blanco gradient is for f one. Well.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
The New Giants Alt City Connect Bay Area tool Uni
is music based psychedelic flowing script sound waves pressed like
grooves on vinyl on the jersey that's left their version
of funfetti right and quota quote flowing with the city's pulse.
(38:04):
The summer of Love energy glove patch, which says San
Francisco Giants in the Hate Ashbury.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Style pretty freaking cool.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
The purple is supposed to reflect the lights of the
Fillmore Theater and there is a music pattern of sorts
around it. I tweeted it out as the promotion for
the show today at Pettersen money on X and the
different symbols Matt. One for hip hop, one for rock
(38:37):
that's like a grateful dead thing, one for pop, which
looks like a butthole, one for Latin, one for country,
one for blues. Where are those symbols which looks.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Like a chicane.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
I think they're on the bill of a hatter, just
like an s trap for your sink, a hyphee which
is of the Bay Area rat movement, mostly Oakland, but
we'll give Hunter's point some love of electronic.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
And Jess put my head in that base bind.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Yeah, So all of those those are also on the
uniform in different spots, very small and those like the
deadhead bolt pattern is the one that Bob Melvin said.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
That he liked.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
And the violet is also because the Giants like they
really overcomplicate this in a nod to the University of
New York NYU, the Giants briefly wore violet from nineteen
thirteen to nineteen seventeen when they were in New York City.
Hence the purpose and the Filmore line, and it seems
(39:37):
like they're reaching a little bit why works. The Giants
marketing described this Matt by saying, this launch goes beyond
a jersey.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
It's a cultural statement. It's just a.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Shirt and a hat and pants and a jacket that
all can be purchased in the Tenderloin. Again, I will
read it.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
It says it can all be purchased in the Tenderloin. Welloi,
this is doubting it can be purchased there, But I
can't imagine that's how they would market it.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Just go to the Loin to buy the jersey, to
meet me at the statue. This launch goes beyond a jersey.
It's a cultural statement. The Hegantis wear them every Tuesday
and at home and on nights where they have concerts,
like Sawati is coming and they're gonna wear them for
her concert at the stadium. Am I supposed to hate
(40:30):
it or like it?
Speaker 5 (40:31):
Not?
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Sure? I like it?
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Well, I know you like it because of the grateful
dead vibe. I just I dig the mitt with the
I like the font in the mitt. You know that's
that's better than anything I've seen on any other Well,
I mean, I think the best thing about it is
that we don't have to look at Gabe Kapler in it, right,
And that's pretty good. Other City Connect highlights for twenty
twenty five. The Chicago Bulls style Chicago White Sox with
(40:54):
a the Jerry Reines Dwarf ownership connection. I think he's
one of the most hated owners he is sports. However,
the Michael Jordan era still means something to everybody, and
putting the White Sox in that uniform doesn't make them
a better baseball team.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Oh here we go, I'm looking at Yeah, it's the
Bulls uniform. Yeah, it's pretty terrible. The worst, Well, they're
not the worst team in now.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
The Green Monster with all the colors of the Green
Monster has been done by the Boston Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
That's pretty interesting. I mean, there's a lot that the
Arizona Diamondbacks have a new one getting rid of their
old serpient this with a new serpiente with a new
serpient but different colors on the syrps. So a lot
of different things. But if you guys want to check
out the Giants nod to the musical culture of San
(41:43):
Francisco and the over complex description of what they've done
with their uniform. Have the Dodgers played the Giants yet
this season?
Speaker 2 (41:53):
No? Not Yeah, they haven't played the Padres yet. They
have not played the Giants nor Padres once this season.
The only Division games they played were the Rockies until
they finally got the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
For those two steaks, man friends waiting for him to
get healthy. Good call, right, we'll be back. We got
another two hours of great sports talk. I got another
baseball sports to you in the next hour. We got

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, follow the Petros in Money Show. Wherever you get

Speaker 3 (00:39):
The mystery of human existence lies not just in staying alive,
but in finding something to live for.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Look on me, you expect us in Money A five
to seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
making our way until seven o'clock. Matt vesk Urson in
the very next segment Dodgers Yankees Tomorrow from the gapin
Motor Broadcast Booth, First Pitch at seven to ten pm.
Dodgers on Decad six, we will give away a pair
of tickets to Dodgers Yankees this hour, this hour, will
(01:11):
we bust a break whoa no, but we will give
away Wow, Matt, that's like the sort of damocles. You
just huddle Dodgers Yankees tickets at some point this hour.
That's big time man. We'll be out there tomorrow broadcasting
live from the M five seventy LA Sports Suite Show.
You're right, you will not be in the suite with
us if you win the tickets, but you will be
at Dodger Stadium? Is that right? Cakes? They're not sweet tickets, right, corract.
(01:36):
I think there's sweet tickets for time way, So.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
We're giving away sweet tickets, but we don't have any
from my kid? Who's okay? Oh that's good? Uh?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Caller ten, Hello, Hello, this is Fletcher. It is congratulations.
What's where you calling from? Atop the hill? I hate
everybody so deeply.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
You go back up on the hill anyway, Dodgers Matts.
We got Matt Vess Curzon coming on in the very
next segment. We had Don McClain and a very fired
up David Vass, who's got Andre E through with Dodger talking.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
He is coming up in the five o'clock hour, and
again Vass cursion in the very next segment, somebody with
great national perspective and all that ails the Dodgers with
their twelve blown saves. Of those twelve blown saves, I'd
love to know how many games they still won because
they hit so many damn dongers, like in the bottom
(02:28):
of the ninth after the save was blown.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Baseball stats, I would check that, you know, or maybe
ask vast cursions.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
That's the kind of stuff that vast cursion that could
When you say twelve blown saves, he probably it won
six of those games with you know, five of them
were blown by Tennis Scott, Right, So we have to
get into have that conversation. And in the first hour
we had a lot of conversations. We talked to our
new intern cross country Ben who uh is here to
help us this summer an LMU Lion, an LMU lion
(02:59):
cross count tree runner. They canceled his program.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
They canceled this program, but they persevered with the club team.
Appreciate that we aired some dirty laundry about our past.
And now, Matt, we're going to fire up an old
machine of the past, a machine that has gone berserk
on us. Another great tease, right, you think Dan Woiki
was inappropriate? The Laminator went crazy on Twitter, physical threats,
(03:22):
threats of physical violence. I have once again, we need
scissors being issued. Well, you know what, No, we don't
need scissors, would laminate at first, and then we scissor.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Well, Kates wants to run a test page. He's a
little concerned that your idea is still in there. Okay,
we'll call it the word of the day. Okay, and
we'll say this Laminator his words, the word of the day.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
What I have is my twenty twenty five, twenty twenty
six member card for the San Pedro Elks Club.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
When's the last time you were at the Elks Club?
Like last year?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Okay, but but I'm gonna try to get there more.
You know, we got friends in San Pedro and friends
that live in South Shores and Matt this is my club.
And you know, what if I what if I want
to go to two shows? What if I want to
go to the Elks and Ridondo, I still need my card?
What if I want to go to the Elks and
tell you ride, I still need my card? What is
(04:11):
the test not working? How's it going?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's it's it's wonky, okay, but it's working. I mean
it's got like a big fold on the top. All right,
that's okay, we can put this in the middle. That's
thinking right.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
See what happened was we there was a time that
Tim Kates went laminator crazy. It might have been he
was huffing the fumes or something. Jim went laminate or
nuts and would laminate everything.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
He would laminate our t sheet every day.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
He laminated his arm. He was crazy. And we tried
to laminate my ID card at work during COVID to
keep it clean, and it was it broke. The machine melted,
my face melted, were a doll.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I could not see it.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
They opened the arc of melting Nazi from the end
of Raiders of the Lost Dark is Uh So, how's that?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
You tell me I'd be comfortable with that? I think
that's that's certainly. I'm okay with this. This is good enough.
I mean, Kates, you are a real weird perfectionist with
the laminator. If this isn't good enough, and you're saying
this wonkiness and the test sheet is due to what
we did to that laminator five years ago. During Kates
has said that he believes your ID is still partially
stuck in there. Remember your id like split in half. Yeah,
(05:27):
my face became strat and so it's partially and that's
what's caught. My face stretched out to get off track.
It's like it's got I guess a little bit.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Here.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
This is my wife's elks and mine, so they all
need to be uh laminated together and then cut properly.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
What are you doing there? Drop the sheet? Okay, okay,
here we go. He's got to strategically place this all right?
Do you have to cut it? Kate's do you have
to cut? After? Cut after? That's the key to laminating.
You know? How do I do? I give you a
How do you know? I'm the laminador?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Not you?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
There we go. Last time a piece of your personal
property went through the laminador, the laminador rejected it. They
burned my face on that. They stretched it. Okay, is
it in? Is it? Bean fed?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Who? God?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
No? No, dude, no cats no, it's not good. Dude, no,
not good. Pull it out. It's not good.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Pull it out?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Oh God injected? Not like this? What happened?
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Am I?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Not like this? That's my id? What happened? Try to
get can you pull the laminator apart? I don't think
you can all right, cut it. No, what you got
to do is cut it and then put the other
one in. What the hell? Why did the test one work?
(06:55):
Why did this work? Maybe you had to put Oh
I don't know. Is that thicker paper? That a heavier stock.
We have doubled up and it's heavier stock. This is terrible.
How could that have happened? Elaminator? It melted your face
and now it ruined your Elk's card. Why did it
use the test fine? Why did it do that? Listen?
(07:18):
I'm not an elk, but I know the rule. You
don't get a second card a new one. It's over.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
You're out of the Elk. You can only go to
the VFW. It looks like Knights of Columbus for me.
Why is my day gone like this? This test page
was perfect. I got rejected for trying to get my
kid in the Yankee game by a jealous promotions man
(07:44):
named Dave Weeze.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
He's just coming back in. Here we go. We're gonna
let's see if he get let's see if he can
get this thing fixed. I saw him in there. He's
now back. What do we got? Let me see he's
supposed to walk in No that doesn't work. My wife,
My wife needs a card. Let me see that. You
can't leave me mid quite as. Let me see it.
(08:08):
It's flat puss. Wow, this is really asked not okay,
this is super asked up.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I respect the elks, but the benevolent people of the elks.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yes see, you got. I think what we have to
do is we have to cut his card off. He's
going to do it and then feed Dana's while we
do that.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Let's do uh, because I have the spouse one from
my wife right, and you're you screwed that one up.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Kate's. Yeah, that is dude. It's kind of fault you have.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
You kind of it felt like you sort of took
pleasure in it not working, and that bothers me.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I took that personally. Look at this and and Matt
social matters in here. This is he's got on his
face too, like he thinks it's cool. It's not cool.
This ain't cool. You got to use your scissors for that.
You got to make a clean breaku. Is he scissors?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Oh it's not of the number of the here's my
number number of the day.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
All right, So what's this? This is his congratulations?
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
That's the an ELK, I need the scissors. Do you
have to cut off the white part? Yeah? Oh yeah,
so you can cut off the white part so it
fits in the wallet? Yeah, exactly? What am I? What
am I? Chick? Look at this? All right? I'm enthralled.
I mean, I want to do the number of the day. Well,
(09:30):
what is it? It's one? But let's see because he's
about to feed it through and Matt's got the video going, Oh,
you want the other one back? Are you gonna double up?
Are you gonna double it up? You think that's a
good idea? He said, no. Off, Mike, do you think
that's a good idea? He said no? Should you have
it down a little bit lower? So the lamination is.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
The first time we've taken risks with the Laminator. Hey,
all right, here we go. This is a real risk
reward situation. I don't I don't like the idea of
putting his through a second time. I'm gonna I'm gonna
go on record here.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
All right? Is it you broke it?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Because you broke the motor. You broke it? Oh, here
we go. All right, Matt's filming it's in which one's
on top Petros is on top? Do they both say Petros, Well,
she works for me, Petro Media LLC. All right, I'm waiting.
(10:34):
I'm looking on this side. Now it's not coming out.
It better come out, Kates. No, it should be coming out.
It should be coming out of it should be come
This is crazy. It's now it's really asked up. Kate's
just said, can you get other cards off? Mike out?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Completely hate it. Oh my god, can't quick go get
a Phillips. Just do the number of the day, not
a flathead, get a Phillips.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Here's my number number of the day.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
I mean, this is a terrible day for me. It's
just really gonna right. I don't know what's say.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Like, I really don't know what. I was really excited.
I know I was excited to get the Lamad so
crazy about it. We should have never done the task. Well,
I don't think it had anything to do it because
it look went through. It looks great. But maybe it's
because that. I don't think that. I think the Lamonader
has a personality. It had threats of physical violence against
(11:44):
us on social media, and now with an opportunity to
atone for those mistakes and those threats. I mean it
ate that sheet like that. I don't know what we're
gonna find when we open this thing up. After we
get a Phillips Phillips had, it's gone. Yeah, They're all gone.
(12:05):
I'm sorry. This seems like a just do your numbers.
It seems like a trifle.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Well, we gotta do sports talk, Matt, and we gotta
work this number despite the bitter disappointments of my life, the.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Numb We gotta ask Cursion in a second, I gotta
get out of here. We go quickly. The number of
the day is one. Is there anything more annoying? And again,
I'm gonna play the victim here because that is what
this show is all about, all about all about being
a victim. Is there anything more annoying? Because look, Rogan
and Rodney don't come into this studio ever. So when
we leave, the studio is exactly as we left it.
(12:39):
We are the only live show in this room. Got
John Wooden's dan It you see. Yes, the Dodger broadcast
airs from a separate studio that runs the Dodger games.
So when I come in today to do the show,
and I go to sit down in this chair and
someone has adjusted it so it is damn near on
(12:59):
the ground. My ass falls an extra six inches, not
expecting to fall that six inches before I hit the chair.
I did see you go down and the spinal column
is compacted because of that. Did you screwed up your
tail screwed up my spine and my tailbone? Because I
expect the chair to be in a specific spot, and
yet it was lowered all the way to the ground.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
I heard that was what Joe McDonald's issue was, and
the arm rest was put off. Do you know who
was in here who would have ft with this chair
so as to yesterday compact my spine between the time
I left it yesterday at seven pm when we got
off the air and today at three o'clock time check.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
I got here about eleven thirty, and I did not
see anybody in the studio in my time here until now.
The only people that have been in the studio been
you got.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I've got two words for you. And I would never
have said this if I didn't learn on Instagram over
the weekend that he is a hop keto master.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Mo Kelly mo Kelly.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
He was the one in here at night up stairs
and down the stairs in his nightdown like Wee Will
and Winki Moe Kelly. That'd be my guest. Yeah, he's
got a whole production crew up in here.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Don't mess with him. He's got a piano player like
the Magic Hour. You can really injure somebody, you know,
you lower a seat like that, I expect my ass
to be stopped at a certain point, and now I'm
dropping an extra six inches, and now I have compacted
my spinal column and have an aching back.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Maybe it was stefoosh. Maybe he had to maybe get
away for a couple of minutes to need to sit
Matt's chair.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I do have this to say. I think we need
a new laminator. I don't think it.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I was on Amazon dot com. We can get one
with forty sheets of laminating paper for thirty nine dollars.
I don't think we should have to buy it. I
think the station should provide it.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Station won't even reimburse us from mileage. They won't, will they.
Kate's no, what are you talking about. I just had
to drive down to Monarch.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Bay, That's what I mean. So did I. And that's
a cash Kyle right there. That's a hundred bucks. But
you're so much closer than I him. Now you do
it from the station I know, so we each go
from Bourbon. Well, that's bus job. That's right expense to
have a job. I'm obviously not happy at all the
new expense. Be happy to have a job. Run e.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
This is a song of the day.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I can't believe this happened.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Gratitude is our song of the day of the nineteen
eighty four debut solo record titled so Low from singer, songwriter, musician,
producer and birthday boy Danny Elfman accompanied by members of
Oingo Boingo, A nice flashback in the new wave style
on a crenchy groove Thursday, showing our gratitude by filling
(15:36):
you with four full hours of groovy tunes and great
sports talk on an off day for the Dodgers with
the New York Yankees in town tomorrow, which means that
you'll get an off day edition of Dodger Talk with
our dear friend David Vase, Hey, roaming the halls aimlessly.
You'll be here at seven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Thank you. You know what I should do. Kate's just
frantically unplugged the Laminator. I think it started eating the
cards again. Just turned off right and start eating like
Christine the car.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Uh. Somebody just made a brilliant point, looking back to
the covid era, that this laminator started to destroy our lives.
Leave it like it is Kate's and let me bring
the hatchet on Monday, and we're going to take it
to this laminator.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Well I do want the car? Yeah, well, I mean
if they don't exist anymore though, Oh no, we're gonna
save it. It's like CPR right now.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
This guy texted, I feel like that reporter watching the
Hindenburg go up and play. Oh god, pardon my emotions.
Oh god. Oh and somebody's somebody says, I bet it
was an it guy. They always leave the chairs low.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Oh okay, I bet it wasn't Dios brother. I bet
it was Espergomas and an old man who's already got
back problems like that. Here we go, Matt Vask Gersham
will join us next.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
What way?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
I was cracking everybody, Welcome back, Petrusen money on m
FI seventy LA sports was my Elk's card retrieved. What
happened here just a terrible moment with our laminator. I mean,
it's even worse than what happened back during COVID when
the laminator ate my work ID that was replaceable. I
(17:22):
don't know if my elk's ID is replaceable. But a
very difficult time, to say the least. Here at the station.
We got off night. Dodger talked tonight with the one
and only David Vassay. He will be here at seven
and Andre Ethier will join him and we'll have Dodgers
Yankees tomorrow. We have Dodgers Yankees tickets to give away.
(17:49):
We didn't give those away yet, have we No, we
did not give away the Dodger Yankee tickets yet. And
the Laminator is just sitting there half broken as we wait.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Matt ves Kershem. I was trying to repair it, and
uh what happened?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Matt?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Well, it really ate your cards, completely ate them. They're gone,
They're gone gone. Uh call her ten right now. Eight
sixty six nine eight seven five seven. What am I
going to say to my wife? We gotta get a
new cards, sweetheart. I mean, I understand I have.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
To tell her that I don't have tickets to the
Yankees Dodgers game for my son's birthday, and that the
laminator ate our cards.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I think on the on the former, we get you
some tickets some other way, but I don't want to.
Now I'm bitter, and I don't want to any I
think push aside the bitterness. The bitterness is real. Yeah,
I know, I know, but I think you push that aside. Well,
I mean, and it's kind of get him into the game,
and then we bring him into the suite.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Now that I've been so wronged, it's kind of hard
to separate the Laminator eating my cards, Dave Weese's bad attitude,
me not getting the tickets, you know, all of those things,
and it's all.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
A ball of fury. Much like you're back with the back.
Somebody snuck into our studio, lowered the seat to a
point where I did not expect it, and now my
spinal column is compacted, and that ain't right, not cool.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Joining us right now on your Southern California Toyota Dealers
Celebrity Hotline. One of the all time great baseball men
on Earth from the MLB Network, Emmy Award winner, Emmy
Award winning Armenian American Joining us live from Hoover High
School on the hills of Glendale. It is bro Matt
(19:37):
vask Gershon on the Petrosen Money Show to chop it
up about baseball. You know, we got we gotta touch
base with our baseball guys as the season goes on,
and there's nobody more baseball than ves Gersha, what's cracking?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Are you?
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Gentlemen? Thank you for not ignoring America's past time. It's
it's still a good game after all, despite all the
conversation on ESPN, it's it's still a good game.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
We love game.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
And those guys suck over there. Yeah, they do best cursion.
They're not great like you wanted to put it.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
By the way, I think the thing with the with
the injured back, I mean, I know a number of
really easy to contact attorneys in Pasadena and Glendale that
could help you.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Out with that. Is it a Is it a billboard
that I might be able to find along one of
the many freeways here in the greater Los Angeles area.
All you gotta do is just dial eight eight something.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Yeah, they would say it like this, Ohm's come.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Yeah, Yeah, that's almost as good as you're Getty Lee,
the great math past cursion hero to baseball types everywhere.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
You know here in La we worry.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
About this and that and this guy sucks and this
picture got his got his his chest ripped out and
all this. But the Dodgers, I think nationally, most people
aren't worried about him, are they, Matt. We're just in
our own little echo chair, aren't we.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Yeah, nobody's worried about the Dodgers. It's a fay a
company that they'll be there at the end of the year.
They'll likely make a long, deep run, maybe even another
World Series appearance, maybe even another World Series win. I mean,
they're that good. And the regular season is it's long,
it's you know, one hundred and sixty two games over
(21:22):
one hundred and eighty days. They don't have a very
big lead in the division, but that's I don't think
anybody assumes anything other than the fact that the Dodgers
are going to win the West. And you know, if
they're healthy and the pitching has been you know, they've
been dinged up, that's for sure. They're going to be
there at the end of the year. And this this
weekend will be a nice litmus test with the Yankees,
(21:43):
because this is not the same Yankee team that they
dispatched in five games in the fall of last year.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Matt what, as someone that certainly knows you know a
number of these stories, What is it with bullpen guys?
Like how can Tanner Scott be so dominent prior to
signing that free agent deal and then have such a
rough start to his time with the Dodgers? Where now
when the bullpen door opens and we see him walk out,
you're like, oh, no, Like it's a real weird feeling
(22:13):
to have when that's kind of your initial reaction when
that guy walks out.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Yeah, it's really true. I mean, look that that guy
was elite, elite. He wasn't just good. He was top
one percent and seen as a finishing piece when he
joined the Dodgers. That wasn't just oh they added a
quality arm. That's like, oh, no one else has a
chance now. So the only explanation when a guy like
(22:39):
that struggles. And I think the Yankees are going through
something similar with Devin Williams, even though he's had a
little better returns lately. I don't know, and I'm this
is pure speculation on my part, but sometimes in a
generic sense, if a guy's not right physically and he
doesn't want to say anything, the perception is that his
performance is bad. For something inexplicable, where maybe there's something
(23:02):
going on with him physically that we don't know about
and he doesn't want to tell anybody about. Maybe there's
something going on at home that we don't know about
that he doesn't want to tell anybody about because it's
the same guy. After all. It's hard to factor because
again he's elite.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Matt.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
That's a shamed Matt. Yeah, I mean, what if something's
going on, I don't know. I'm not privy to that information.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
So I've just got to go with what I got.
I have to shower against him. My shower's broke. What
about what's in a terrible mood? Every day? Terrible?
Speaker 5 (23:33):
That's why you know Doc's going to give him every
opportunity to pitch out of it. If, if, if, if,
none of those things are true, then he's going to
give him a lot of canvas to get it right.
And that's where the Dodgers can do things that other
teams that have to sing for their supper can't. They
can afford to give a guy plenty of space and
plenty of outings to get it right because they know
(23:56):
that the supporting cast around and everybody else is good
and they're gonna win anyway. You get one guy who's
having a bad year, let him work it out. All
he has to do is find it by September.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Man, what about like, what is then do it until September?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
What are we going to talk about? What's the talk about?
What's the outsider perspective on the pitching injuries? I mean,
it's not just one or two, it's not just three
or four. It's trying. It's Copek, it's Evan Phillips, it's
Kirby Yates, it's Tyler Glass. Now it's Blake's Like, it
is crazy what we're dealing with here.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Yeah, and it's all different. It's all different flavors too.
It's not if they were all like Tyler Glass, Now,
who were you know, these huge six six dudes chipped
out of granite who throw it as hard as they
can every pitch, then you'd say, Okay, there's maybe maybe
something's wrong here philosophically. But Kirby Yates is not that
(24:52):
kind of guy. He's a little bit more of a
touch and feel guy. Evan Phillips is not that kind
of guy. I don't know. And it's not just a
Dodger problem. By the way. You know, MLB likes to
talk about all these studies that they commissioned to try
to get to the root of all evil, and yes,
last year they did one on the pitching injuries. The
determination that they came up with, and it's not a
(25:12):
huge stretch, was that guys get to spring training without
being ramped up, without being stretched out. They start a
program once they arrive, and then they get hurt as
opposed to, you know, maintaining during the winter. I find
it hard to believe that a guy who's at the
top of his craft in twenty twenty five isn't throwing
side sessions all winter long or doing stuff that's going
(25:35):
to benefit his arm. I don't know. I mean, the
Dodgers have certainly worn it because at the beginning of
the season we were talking legitimately about having two rotations.
They had a ten man starting rotation. Now they're doing
stuff like stunting a rotation by putting an opener in.
I mean, Gonzolin tomorrow, you know, he's he's back. He's
had some mixed results, and you hope that Kershaw straightens
(25:56):
it out and becomes Clayton Kershaw again. Again. Not at
all about the Dodgers not at all.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Kershaw is like Gary Busey in Rookie of the Year.
Now he's like, I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Will happen if I fire up my arm again. Kid,
he's throwing eighty five. It's it's concerning.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
The great bad mass scursion from MLB Network is with us.
He is one of the best baseball broadcasters in our
in our opinion, of all time. You can watch him
coming up on the Emmy Award winning MLB tonight at
six thirty Pacific time and watch them call MLB Network
Showcase games all season long.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
He is fabulous.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Would you trade schemes right now if you are Pittsburgh
to get four dudes that can all freaking start right
now and raise the pirate flag?
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Great question?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, wow, that's great question.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Question.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Here's here's the on that taturns the gong.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Nice. Last year, there was saying the same thing at
the deadline about Trek Scooble because at the time June,
the Tigers were not good. It didn't look like they
were gonna be good. And I know for fact that
your Dodgers made an offer for him. I didn't get names,
(27:17):
but apparently it was a pretty intriguing package that they
offered the Tigers for him. The Tigers said no, and
I thought at the time that they were nuts because
you could flip the organization. Well, lo and behold, the
Tigers get hot, and now they're pretty lucky that they
have him. I don't see the Pirates being that way,
but I didn't see the Tigers being that way last
(27:38):
year either. Pittsburgh doesn't spend any money in the free
agent market. At least the Tigers will go out there
and spend Pittsburgh has. They've been shut out ten times
this year. They're not That lineup is not good. It's
just not They've missed on draft picks. They don't supplement
the existing group with the free agent market. So the
answer to your question is, yes, I would. I would.
(27:59):
I would entertain trades for him because they're not going
to win with him, and you know, pitching is fickle.
You never assume a guy is going to get hurt.
But man, for a guy who is as generationally talented
as he is, you could return something really special.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
For him with and certainly it seems like the Dodgers
have the pieces that could get something like that done.
And it does seem like that's something that they're excited
to do. They're more than happy to use their pharm
system to acquire major league players. They've done it in
the past, and they've done it at every single deadline.
I don't know why I had to say all of that.
You just so eloquently laid out the case for trading Force.
(28:38):
It was good stuff. Yeah, help reiterate the point. And
I wasn't stalling to get to this question because I
already had this thing locked and ready to ask you
are because we are on the West Coast, are we
ignoring Aaron Judge in the season that he is having,
much like the East Coast tends to ignore. And I'm
speaking for us, we have not done a whole lot
of Aaron Judge talk what they do to superstars on
(28:59):
the West Coast. And is this like the best superstar
showdown that we're going to have in baseball this year
between Judge and Otani.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Yeah, yes, and yes it is the best superstar showdown.
And it was the same way when and this was
without as much of a back of the baseball card
a few years ago, when Shohy was an Anaheim and
Aaron Judge was still a Yankee. Those were great showdowns,
and that's when Sho Hay was pitching and doing what
he's doing with the bat. You'd be able to answer
(29:30):
the other question better than I. As far as does
the West Coast ignore Aaron Judge or not get the
whole package. I think this that we're not that far away,
and this is gonna I don't know, maybe some people
will disagree with this. I don't think we're that far
away three to five years from counting Aaron Judge among
the all time greats. He's had good seasons. He's won
(29:54):
two MVP Awards, He's got the American League single season
home run record. Well, he's doing this here. The start
he's off to this season is better than those years
where he's done that. So generational talent. I've used that
one already, but it's really true of Aaron Judge. I
could blow you away with the numbers. He's slugging over
(30:14):
fifteen hundred, is on base is over five hundred. It's
sick what he's doing well. Runners in scoring position is
ops is over thirteen hundred. I mean, it's the laundry
list of accolades. And he's going to be viewed as
one of the all time greats in short order, I.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Think Matt mass kershon, there's nobody better. What about your
Halos though they wont seven in a row? Now they
love five straight?
Speaker 5 (30:37):
What hey, yeah, we'll see. We'll see tomorrow. I'm actually
going to Cleveland tomorrow to pick up the Halos for
the weekend.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
And then you better avoid the Dazzler in the dug
out there. The Dazzlers up there too.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
See easy, I don't know, I just got Dazzler Jake.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Sorry, I know that's the Jake anymore. I'm sorry. I'm
say you.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
Know, while we're on the topic of broadcasts, and I'm
I'm only thinking of this because I'm watching the Phillies
and Braves right now. Have you guys seen the Instagram feed?
And maybe I shouldn't be given this guy any play
because it's it's troubling me. It's called funny Announcers. And
this dude has got AI voice capture of certain Major
(31:30):
league announcers and certain NFL and NBA announcers and he's
having the AI do fake play by play over real
game footage. It's very convincing. I mean, the the Tom
McCartney and John Kruck, the Phillies announcers. It sounds just
like them, and the stuff that they're saying is incendiary,
(31:51):
it's blue, it's abjectionable. You don't want your kids hearing it.
But we're we're going down a slippery slope here Major
League Baseball and the Phillies they up this guy down
can be thinking fake phone calls as John Cruck because
it's that. The AI voice simulation is that good. It's
so scary.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
This is John Crook. I need all my money out
of my bank account right now immediately.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yeah. I have not seen that, and I don't know
if I want to see you.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
No.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I I just followed it, and you're.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Gonna laugh, and then you're gonna be like, oh my god,
what are we doing here? This this frightening?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
How long do you think it trickles down to the
late night Mountain West game? For me there, Matt.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Matter, it's it's only a matter of seasons before that happens. Man,
there's gonna be Ai Petros. They're all out there, man,
nothing to say. A Victor brick and I could do
Vic the brick. We don't need AI for that, sure,
(32:58):
I want I want Ai. Patrick O'Neill everywhere. That's what
I want.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
That's the best. Listen everywhere. Listen. I got a couple
of stories to tell you during this game about myself.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Now, what.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
A great time. We're all friends. That's not who we
were talking about. We were talking about that other guy
over there. Yeah, that won the dazz the one guy
that does that thing. We love you there, you stayed
a bridge too far. The Great Mad mask Ursion, MLB
Network and me award winning. They're probably gonna take it
away now. Thank you, Matt.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
You guys are the best. You always get me in
trouble though.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Thank you for that's what we do. Well, look what
happened to my my elks id it ate it? Who
was our winner? Who won the Yankee tickets?
Speaker 1 (33:41):

Speaker 2 (33:42):
So wait a minute. They won't give me tickets, but
they'll give them to one of our listeners.
Speaker 3 (33:45):

(34:10):
will be out at Dodger Stadium tomorrow. Dodgers Yankees coming
up for three over the weekend, and then Dodgers Mets,
so a whole lot of New Yorkers between now and
next Thursday, when the Dodgers face in a World Series rematch,
the Yanks first, then the Mets second. You'll hear it
all right here on your home of the World Series
Champion Dodgers AM five seventy LA Sports. And if you're
(34:32):
in the Greater LA area, remember you can hear those
games through the iHeartRadio app on.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Your smartphone, not your freaking burner, dirty dog phone. Can't
listen to anything on there, can except for your life
falling apart on the other line.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Get here on Apple TV too, sings up perfectly with
the game. On Apple TV. Just click home Radio right there,
AM five seven you can listen to the game. You
get that. Instead of the Dazzler as you like to
call him in don Trell, that's his nickname. It's his
nickname is given by you.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
No, that's his nickname, right, the Dazzler, that's what he
calls himself. I mean, I think that's his media company,
Dazzler Media. I'm pretty sure that's how he gets paid.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Dazzler Dude Media.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Yeah, Dazzler doesn't all he dazzles Wayne Wren Dazzle. I
have a cousin named Joey Ran Dazzle, but he works
at the docks.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
No relationship. Do you call him the Dazzler. No, he's
sleeved up and he's a hard ass. I wouldn't mess
with Joey.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
All right, I got a story for you because Matt,
I was looking at the h I think you're gonna
like this. I was looking at the Bleacher Report this morning, Matt,
and I don't know why, but I saw a ranking
that they did on all the new City Connect Gang.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Why Connect Gang? The City Connect uniforms, uniform for each
of the squads the major League basement. So so many
of them are bad.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
But like Matt said, in an effort to sell you
a two hundred dollars plus, Jersey teams put these out
every few years. They'll roll with one like, they'll come
out with one in like twenty two, they'll roll with
it till twenty four. They'll come up with a new
one in twenty five.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Tweaked theirs for this year. Tweets slight, tweak. I like them.
I like that sprinkle confetti cake. Look on my on
my baseball jersey. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Yeah, you can't even get through saying it, but that's okay.
They came up with new ones for a lot of
different MLB teams. Matt cluttered as you mentioned the Dodgers
over detailed versions of these jerseys. Uh, the Dodgers are
not innocent. The funfetti is an embarrassment.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
We see a lot more of the funfetti at Dodger
Stadium than you would think, a lot of our opinion
of the jersey.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
It feels like, and don't I don't want to sound
like Evan Roberts, the angry New York guy who was
talking bad about the Dodgers the other day.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Saying he hates them.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
I hate them, I hate them, I will say it
feels like at this point the Dodgers could just put
like times new Roman type LA and sell it for
three hundred bucks. Yea, and people are gonna buy it
because the Dodgers are hot, and that's why we have
them right here on Anti seventy LA. Sports so hot, right,
(37:04):
so hot, and we don't have to revisit the Disney
logo and all the crap that we did, right. I
think the hot New Dodger jersey this year is the
gold one, right, the one with the gold Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Saw it opening opening day beautiful. But the one that
stood out to me is the Giants. I don't know
if you saw this. I'm looking at it right now. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Yeah, they got rid of the Gabe Kapler fog Bridge uniforms,
of course you remember those.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Yeah, we don't like the gradient and they rolled with
the gradients. I blanco gradient is for f one. Well.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
The New Giants Alt City Connect Bay Area tool Uni
is music based psychedelic flowing script sound waves pressed like
grooves on vinyl on the jersey that's left their version
of funfetti right and quota quote flowing with the city's pulse.
(38:04):
The summer of Love energy glove patch, which says San
Francisco Giants in the Hate Ashbury.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Style pretty freaking cool.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
The purple is supposed to reflect the lights of the
Fillmore Theater and there is a music pattern of sorts
around it. I tweeted it out as the promotion for
the show today at Pettersen money on X and the
different symbols Matt. One for hip hop, one for rock
(38:37):
that's like a grateful dead thing, one for pop, which
looks like a butthole, one for Latin, one for country,
one for blues. Where are those symbols which looks.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Like a chicane.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
I think they're on the bill of a hatter, just
like an s trap for your sink, a hyphee which
is of the Bay Area rat movement, mostly Oakland, but
we'll give Hunter's point some love of electronic.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
And Jess put my head in that base bind.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Yeah, So all of those those are also on the
uniform in different spots, very small and those like the
deadhead bolt pattern is the one that Bob Melvin said.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
That he liked.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
And the violet is also because the Giants like they
really overcomplicate this in a nod to the University of
New York NYU, the Giants briefly wore violet from nineteen
thirteen to nineteen seventeen when they were in New York City.
Hence the purpose and the Filmore line, and it seems
(39:37):
like they're reaching a little bit why works. The Giants
marketing described this Matt by saying, this launch goes beyond
a jersey.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
It's a cultural statement. It's just a.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Shirt and a hat and pants and a jacket that
all can be purchased in the Tenderloin. Again, I will
read it.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
It says it can all be purchased in the Tenderloin. Welloi,
this is doubting it can be purchased there, But I
can't imagine that's how they would market it.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Just go to the Loin to buy the jersey, to
meet me at the statue. This launch goes beyond a jersey.
It's a cultural statement. The Hegantis wear them every Tuesday
and at home and on nights where they have concerts,
like Sawati is coming and they're gonna wear them for
her concert at the stadium. Am I supposed to hate
(40:30):
it or like it?
Speaker 5 (40:31):
Not?
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Sure? I like it?
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Well, I know you like it because of the grateful
dead vibe. I just I dig the mitt with the
I like the font in the mitt. You know that's
that's better than anything I've seen on any other Well,
I mean, I think the best thing about it is
that we don't have to look at Gabe Kapler in it, right,
And that's pretty good. Other City Connect highlights for twenty
twenty five. The Chicago Bulls style Chicago White Sox with
(40:54):
a the Jerry Reines Dwarf ownership connection. I think he's
one of the most hated owners he is sports. However,
the Michael Jordan era still means something to everybody, and
putting the White Sox in that uniform doesn't make them
a better baseball team.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Oh here we go, I'm looking at Yeah, it's the
Bulls uniform. Yeah, it's pretty terrible. The worst, Well, they're
not the worst team in now.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
The Green Monster with all the colors of the Green
Monster has been done by the Boston Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
That's pretty interesting. I mean, there's a lot that the
Arizona Diamondbacks have a new one getting rid of their
old serpient this with a new serpiente with a new
serpient but different colors on the syrps. So a lot
of different things. But if you guys want to check
out the Giants nod to the musical culture of San
(41:43):
Francisco and the over complex description of what they've done
with their uniform. Have the Dodgers played the Giants yet
this season?
Speaker 2 (41:53):
No? Not Yeah, they haven't played the Padres yet. They
have not played the Giants nor Padres once this season.
The only Division games they played were the Rockies until
they finally got the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
For those two steaks, man friends waiting for him to
get healthy. Good call, right, we'll be back. We got
another two hours of great sports talk. I got another
baseball sports to you in the next hour. We got
three things. Thursday, we'll talk to David vass. David vassa
off night Dodge, you talk at seven o'clock with Andre
a Eighthier. Be here on AMPI seventy LA Sports, your
(42:26):
home of the Dodgers.
