you by our friends at Concordia University or mind Masters
and Coaching podcast hosted by the great Tim Kats. You
can see on Spectrum Sports tonight night for the final
hour fun facts.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
In effect, it's the yeah We're three.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Fun fun fact Final Hour Fun Fact pe. It's a
fact over five thousand coaches and administrators have graduated from
their master's program. Find out more at CUI dot edu
slash coaching. The Yankees, the Cubs, and our two teams,
the Angels and Dodgers are the only four Major League
Baseball teams that don't have a mascot. The Yankees tried.

(04:03):
They've had one Dandy, a mustache, cartoony head, typical mascot vibe,
and just a couple of weeks into the season, he
was jumped and beaten up by a group of fans.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Mascot by a group of street toughs.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yes, so the guy who was Dandy quit and they
were like, yeah, maybe we just don't do the mascot thing.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Wow, you guys are crazy. I got beat up.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Listening here, Dandy. We got no time for your bs
in this town.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
All right, I'm gonna punch your mustache.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Knock your mustache right off your face.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
It is time for the quick hits.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Com pmss quick hits, Come make a quick.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Y'all MVP being handed out this hour will take the
suspense away from your show. Hal Tani's gonna win the
Nash the League MVP. It will be official here in
a few minutes and we'll come back and we'll play
some Otani highlights. Okay, second down to ninth.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
And we'll break it down. And we got to break
down this sensational season. You know, the the back, the splits,
the splits, the the daisy pitched, how we built up
you know, the playoff performance is in factored in there,
but it's almost impossible to believe that it wasn't thought about,
you know, what he was going to do out there
when the stakes were at their highest. So you know,

(05:29):
I mean, we're really going to get deep, super deep.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
The depth will be notable. It will be his third
straight MVP, the fourth of his career. Otani hit two
eighty two with fifty five jacks and one hundred and
two RBIs and at ops over one thousand. He also
started fourteen games with sixty two strikeouts and forty seven
innings pitched. It's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
I mean, how do you push back against that.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
On Soto, you think you can step to that with
your seven hundred fifty million dollar contract.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
This is kind of sad.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
The Padres people are going to sell the Padres or
they're looking into it.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
I think Padre fans would probably be like, that's you know,
Peter Seidler was so hyper focused on and like you said,
it's sad he wanted to win that World Series before
he passed away, before cancer, you know, got him, and
they were losing a lot of money. It was operating
at a net loss because he wanted to try to

(06:26):
deliver that title to that town. And it's sad that
he wasn't able to accomplish that. But since he passed away,
his brothers versus his wife has been kind of an
ugly deal. They don't want to spend a lot of money,
and so you could get, you know, someone that is
maybe more like Sidler, like Peter, that just wants to

(06:48):
deliver a championship to the city of San Diego, as
opposed to watching all these guys Dylan Cees, Luisa Rise,
They're all gonna walk, none of them are going to
stay because they just said, well, yeah, it was was
a guy that was just chasing a championship versus being
financially responsible. We had no business having a two hundred
and twenty million dollar payroll down here.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Well see what happens the guardians closer. Emmanuel Class returned
for the Dominican Republic this morning, landed at JFK in
New York and was promptly arrested by the FBI. He
faces multiple felony charges. He agreed he allegedly rigged bets
by tipping off co conspirators on pitches that he planned

(07:30):
to throw before games. Prosecutors claimed the alleged scheme and
helped co conspirators earn at least four hundred thousand dollars
from their bets.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
They got four hundred grand, he got seven two grand
for one pitch, five grand for another. They made four hundred.
I feel like must be a real idiot or there's
more to this, right, you think they kidnapped the family member,
That's what I'm thinking. Why give him anything at all?

Speaker 3 (07:58):
That?

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Like? It? Just that's fair point? Hey, not only are
we gonna give you your loved one back, but how
seven grand for the other. Here's an extra fu here's
an extra seven k. But appreciate you, Like he's said,
I can't believe someone could be so stupid. I can
unless it's your friends, right, your friends who don't have
a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
No, he's still on you for cav galactically stupid.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
The Lakers are eight and four. They got smoke oed
by the thunder last night in Oka. See. They're gonna
play in New Orleans tomorrow versus the Pelicans.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Seventy to thirty eight at a half. It was the
Alex Caruso revenge game. As we talked about who knew
that that was something?

Speaker 3 (08:40):
I guess it was me Erby mentioned Caruso. He did
mention him yesterday, but I didn't take no mind to it.
The Clippers are three and eight. They're bad. They've dropped
six in a row. They got Wow. There's a lot
of caps and embarrassed by the Nuggets last night. They
now begin a seven game road trip. They're in Dallas

(09:00):
tomorrow to face the Mavericks. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
I think the all caps are referenced are are indicative
of our executive producers feelings about the Petrosen Money Show
getting preempted to the Nines next week because of this
seven game roady that they're about to go.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yeah, here's Tyler. There's a lot of fan angst like
upset about the way that the team.

Speaker 6 (09:24):
Has starting upset too, I mean they I mean, you know,
it is what it is. I mean, when you don't
have your best player, you know, your third best player
and Brad who's been out, you know, it's tough. And
when you structure, you know, a training camp preseason around
certain guys and your core guys and they're not there,
I'm gonna take some time to kind of, you know,
get used to other guys, other guys taking on new roles,

(09:46):
roles they haven't been in before, and it takes a
little time. So just my biggest thing is just you know,
stay patient, be patient. You know, we've been through this
before as fans, as coaches, as players, as an organization,
and so it's no different. We'll figure it out, would
be okay.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
I like seeing that from Tyler.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
I like seeing that passion, do you you know I'd
like seeing wins charging three and eight are going.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
To Jacksonville with Matt Smith two and a half point favorites,
Rams are at home versus Sam Darnold, biggest game anybody's
ever seen. They're three and a half point home favorite
History of the World, and the NFL sent a memo
out to team officials today, saying, in light of recent
gambling scandals and other sports, the league has worked with lawmakers, regulators,
and sports betting partners in recent weeks to limit and

(10:33):
where possible, prohibit prop bets in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Okay, that's gonna happen as your I think it's fan
duel stadium and it no longer likes Gellett Stadium, or
it's like fandual field at Gillett Stadium in Foxboro and
we're doing our best. Yeah. They they operate on these
freaking prop bets. That's where they make all their money.
Because you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna tease and then

(10:57):
parlay this catch with number of rushes minus receiving yards
by the tight end to the over running back stuff
yards after contact. It's gonna net me like six grand
if it all hits.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Well, we'll see if you cla get hit. In Columbus,
they'refore touchdown underdogs put up to the Buckeyes.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Four touchdown plus. I mean it's thirty and a half.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
USC is at home versus Iowa and the rain Saturday
afternoon the Coliseum. I don't know if anyone's gonna come
it's rain in Lincoln. They're six and a half point
home favorites, and the PAC twelve is going to be
not on Fox, so.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
All USA. Yeah, I'll be done with a lot of
these twenty two football games a year through twenty thirty.
It'll be the biggest TV partner of the league, not
Apple TV, as a certain someone had tried to cobble together.
It'll televise games along with CBS Sports Network, the CW
CBS you got Oregon State, Washington State. Of course, the

(12:00):
six teams we discussed yesterday that'll be added next season,
Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, where you're going, San
Diego State, Utah State, all coming from the Mountain West,
Texas State, arives from the Sun Belt, and the home
games will all be available either broadcast or on cable

(12:20):
satellite stations for the next five years. CBS the big network,
CBIA the Eye. There'll be somebody wearing that blue blazer
with the eye over the left. BREAD will broadcast two
regular season games and the PAC twelfth title game. USA
gonna have twenty two regular season games. USA Sports is

(12:40):
the new sports department of Versant, the cable channel company
that was spun off from Comcast. They're also going to
get fifty men's basketball games, so.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Believe it.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, seems like a pretty good deal. All right, Well
we'll be back.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
With Mark Petrosen Money Action celebrating show Hal Tani.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
A lot better than being on MySpace.

the time of Otani.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Hi, my name is Joe Haletani.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
We're very proud of Shoe hail Tani, no doubt. He's
a friend of our friends like David vasse and and
FASc It's a big.

Speaker 7 (14:42):
Deal on a one kid terrain, strikes out, swinging, shits
him down with a splitter back to that case to
open the sixth and four in a row.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
He's up to.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Ten be the greatest individual playoff performance in the history
of a sport that's one hundred and fifty years old,
and we got to witness it with our own two
d at Dodger Stadium.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
What and if you want to witness more tonight? Tim
Kaits is on Spectrum Sportsman on The Dodger Show. So
is David Vassa. I thought he was going underground.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
Oh, it's a radio takeover of TV tonight on Did
they build a graphic or anything?

Speaker 3 (15:31):
I hope they did.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, hornstreare going to be there. No, it's a radio
takeover of TVs. All the chairs are taking Matt So
Nelson's going to be there.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
So yo, not.

Speaker 8 (15:53):
I God send some press, I kid, Yeah, that's beautiful, beautiful,
So I buy radio takeover?

Speaker 3 (16:06):
You just mean you and Vessa? Okay, Well, I cannot
wait to see you guys celebrate. Shy Otanani. I mentioned
Barry Bonds yesterday and Bonds one from two thousand and
one to two thousand and four knocked out four in
a row during his dominant period as a giant, hitting

(16:29):
all them home runs with that giant head and those
coffee can wrists. So Otani trying to chase that was
your go to description back then as well. Yes it
still holds even though he has shrunk. Surprising how that happens.
Your body can change that dramatically depending on what you're
pumping into your system. But Otani, now with three in

(16:50):
a row, that's kind of the I think the measure
of that, you know, just an era of utter, incomplete dominance.
A lot of people want to know what you're on
because your arms got so swoll. A lot of people
want to know what you're putting into your system.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
I can tell you exactly what I'm on. I'm on,
Lee Haney, Wait game, That's what I'm on.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
I saw you walking out of the GNC acting cool
with your hoodie on and your bottle lava. I knew
it was you. I could tell by your small ass arm.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
My shaker bottle.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
It is time for we'll have a little Dodger extension conversation.
Congratulations to Otani, Like you said, an unparalleled era that
we'll remember forever. Something else that we remember forever is
Frank McCourt's ownership of the Dodgers. But he still owns
the parking lot. Despite what Magic said. Frank still in

(17:43):
the parking lot. Yeah, no, yes, shut up.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
I think he does.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
No, shut up, I think he does.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
The fans got a rot to.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Look at my smile. I'm Magic. John's trot to know Magic.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
They want to run him out of town, and you're
giving him a piece of this.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Frank McCourt's proposed gondola from Union Station over Philips, over
the Little Jewel of New Orleans, over Chinatown, over the
Freeway one tenth over the East Side Delhi into Dodger
Stadium kate what appears to be its most significant roadblock yet.

(18:19):
Yesterday what happened, Well, the great responsible souls in the
La City Council voted twelve to one to urge the
metro board. It's really up to the metro board. I
remember hating you for loving me. It's it's up to
the metro board. But the LA City Council wants him
to kill the project. All yesterday's vote did was send

(18:44):
a message to the Metro board that the city council
vote is not in favor of the gondola project, and
this really could be an increasing challenging hurdle for Frank
and his allies to overcome. Council Member Eunyssus Hernandez, whose
district includes Dodger Stadium, told her colleagues on Wednesdays council meeting.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
This resolucion tells Metro that the City of Los Angeles
refuses to be bought by shiny renderings and empty promises.
This project is an insult to our communities, and this
process has been an insult to our collective indvanigence.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, so they're collective. Well, they're just saying you can't
build a gondola over the freeway. They sain't Disneyland. You
think we're stupid.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
If I had to translate, I mean, I guess I
kind of see both sides, right, Like you.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
See the side of the gondola stuck against hanging over
the one town like you're skiing.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
I'm just going to assume that it will run at
supreme performance and perfect operation during its entire existence. And
if that the case, I think they're just kind of
pushing back, like, oh it's so ugly and oh it's
an eyesore and all cables over our our neighborhoods, and
it's it's like, yeah, you know, I gotta say, is

(20:12):
that is that worse than the ten thousand cars that
line the streets for two and a half hours going
into a Dodger game.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
I gotta say, I kind of want to see the
gondola what it would look like me too. I don't
know if it would dissipate traffic at all, but I
kind of want to see what it would be like.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
I mean, how's it going to be? You know, I
would like to see it. We heard from social Matt,
you know, when he had to yeah game and it
still took him two hours to get out of Dodger
Stadium at midnight.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Nobody on the La City Council, not one member stood
up and said, I was big for the Gardino La.
I will offer myself as tributes.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Well, I thought you said one, right, No, not one
the one?

Speaker 3 (21:01):
Not one single council members spoke in support.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Get A violently voted for it and shove that envelope
of cash from Frank mccordy.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
I would be I would be he who votes for
the gondora. Probably the dude from the valley. It would
be I Hector, hectorson from.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Van Nice, right, somebody from Venice.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
The Nice stands with Nice.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
It just it seems like it the parking lots and
that Finn Scully and Champions way that we get.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
We navigated it all year and as somebody who actually
stays past the third inning and gets stuck in some
of this traffic, I can tell you the bus that
goes from Union Station to downtown to Dodger Stadium.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Is not any better. It's not alleviating traffic.

Speaker 5 (21:54):
It gets stuck in the traffic of people leaving Dodger Stadium.
So there's a long line of people trying to get
the bus back to Union Station. You know what, I'm
not going to help the gondola, Dude, gondol it helps.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
How do you think the gondola is not gonna help?
It's it takes you from Union Station straight to the parking.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Lot to the sixty West.

Speaker 5 (22:15):
I love your optimism, Matt, I really do, and I
want things to work but what are the odds it
doesn't break down night one?

Speaker 3 (22:22):
What are the odds it doesn't work? What are the
odds some do? Doesn't leak in? One of them an
appeeing on my car when I'm driving on the one, well,
just inside the gondole in the corner, like I can't
hold it. We're over the Chinatown right now, I can't
hold it. I gotta take a pee.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
I mean, I feel like, yes, those are in It's
very anecdotal. Those are individual issues that could arise. But
it's not like it's the only gondola in the world.
I mean, they've got the gondola at Mammoth from the
town to the hill. That's fine.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
I took one and tell you ride. You took the
gondole Mammoth, tell you not good examples of a metro gondo.
That's a good point.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah, doctor, fans can be a bit unrused.

Speaker 5 (22:58):
You're a bit on the blue line, the red line,
the goal. All right, fine, but what about the cool
gondola music? The one thing I was gonna say is
I think it's cool. But I don't think they should
have a stipulation that you have to wear a tight
white and black striped T shirt like Ronnie wears the
French Guy T shirt.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Not that that would ensure that there are there is
no funny business inside the gondola because you all feel
so stupid.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
Which they'd hire me as like an in house yodeler.
You know, yeah, I'd like that anyway, it'd be awesome.
The Frank McCourt Gondola project requires approvals from the La
City Council, the California State Parks Agency, and the La
Metro Board, which did approve an environmental impact report for
the project last year, which was a victory for them.

(23:44):
The Metro Board is scheduled to vote next month on
whether to approve this revised report, and we will be
all over it.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
It's not like they live at Lake Carmel by the Sea.
I mean, it's a fine neighborhood, but no, it's such
an isore. Well you got three freaking vacant towers.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Well that's on the other side. Okay, this is north
side of downtown. Okay, a little more skid row adjacent.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yes, a little more skid row at Jason, you.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
Don't think you think Frogtown wants to look at those
gondolas all the time, Essay, going back and forth. Essay,
you think they want to look at those too.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
They're only going to go back and forth during times.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Start looking at the gondola. Fool, take it down.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Talking about one hundred days a year for I'm gonna
shoot my baby gun. That could be a problem. There
could be some Uh.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
That's what Hector Hectorson is voting for.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Yes, Hector Heckerson is saying that just welcomes violence.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
We'll be back with your dead and alive guy birth
the other day. Congratulations to the Dodgers and show heyo
time yo not we're not cionar and next next segment

Mavericks sans Nico, with all the conspiracy theories flying around
about how it was destined and ordained by a silver
that Nico trade Luca to the Lakers, which you know,
I think makes total sense now to be to be
bringing all that stuff up. Hey, listen, man, Instagrammers.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
The Lakers need Lebron. You saw the Lebron Twitter puzzo
riders last night. Oh yeah, getting crazy.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
They're having a day after Oklahoma City reminded everybody that
they're in a class unto themselves. That's right, and forty
one year old Lebron James probably not going to be
able to keep up with Shake, Gilgess, Alexander either of
the show.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
Oh no, no, the Laker season starts when Lebron hits
the floor.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Now come on now, Oh you mean the South Bay Lakers. Oh, no, starts.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
I saw tweet last night. It had like fifty three
thousand likes and it was like the Laker season start
when Lebron hits the floor this week.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Oh, I felt like it started when they were eight
and three and everyone was all exciting.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
No no, no, no, no, no, you're wrong, and that's fine.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
Well, may the old man get out there and remind
everybody the.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
King's going to be crowned. He's going to show you
don't talk on the King's rob. All right, Matt, you
got the dead guy birthday in the day, I do.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Let's move on from that depressing topic. Toy Caldwell Happy
would have been seventy eighth born in Spartanburg, South Carolina,
started to play guitar as a kid along with his
younger brother Tommy. He strummed with his thumb instead of
a pick heck of an athlete. In high school, he

(27:46):
and his pals George mccorkyle, Jerry Eubanks Doug Gray all
played football and basketball, and as much as they loved
their sports, so much as they love, working on and
riding their motorcycles of all things. Toy turned him on
to jazz, and the rest of the guys are like, man,
what a crude. I'm gonna grab me an instrument. We

(28:09):
could start a band. So guitar, bass, sacks and flute.
How about the dude, It's like, I'm gonna do sas
and flute. As you hear it, there they start playing,
but greatest Generation, man, they hit pause. Well just post
greatest Generation, I guess, and enlist into the Marine Corps

(28:34):
and get shipped off to Nam in sixty six. Toys
wounded in sixty eight, Purple Heart evacuated to recover, and
you're like, all right, well that nightmare is over. Nope,
get back. They ship back discharged in sixty nine, and
when he and thankfully all his pals made it out
alive get home, they're like, all right, let's chase the dream.

(28:56):
Let's start a band. They called it Toy Factory after
Toy called well as he was it's leader, kind of
constantly shifting lineups. But his friends were the constant Doug
and Jerry and George So in nineteen seventy two, Caldwell
and mccorkory settle on his brother Tommy on bass and
backing vocals, Doug Gray on vocals, Jerry U Banks on

(29:16):
keys and flute and tenor sacks and backing vocals. They
would add Paul Riddle on drums and they adopted the
name the Marshall Tucker Band. They played a gig at
Grant's Lounge and Making Georgia happened to have a Capricorn
rep there and said get me a demo immediately, and
Capricorn immediately signed them to the label. The Marshall Tucker

(29:40):
Band put out a release their self titled Debut a
few months later, produced by the famous Paul hornsby not
Bruce What, released in nineteen seventy three all tracks written
by our dead guy Birthday of the Day Today Toy
called Well, including this one Can't You See? And this
is Toy on lead vocals, one of the rare Marshall
Tucker Band songs with Toy on lead. Huge hit album

(30:03):
goes gold. They're Animals on the Road three hundred dates
a year. Charlie Daniels heard about him, went to a
gig to check it out and said, quote was it
in Georgia, Probably best live gig I've seen in years.
They came on stage and just blew it out from
start to finish. Rush Tucker Band was putting out a

(30:25):
record a year. Every release had a hit or hits.
Heard It in a Love Song was a big one.
In seventy seven, Capricorn goes bankrupt and seventy nine Warners
immediately scoops him up playing festivals, and in eighty they
complete their tenth album titled I Don't Know Why Tenth. Sadly,

(30:46):
Toy looses both of his younger brothers, Tommy, the bass
player in the band, and Timmy, his youngest brother who
was into the band, each die about a month apart
from one another in separate car accidents, so things get
a little bit of sideways. He does a little bit
of solo work and the Marshall talk. By the way,

(31:07):
the Marshall Tucker in the band's name refers to a
blind piano tuner from Spartanburg. When they were in their
rehearsal space, someone noticed on the warehouse's door key chain
the name Marshall Tucker and they were like, it's kind
of cool, so they called themselves the Marshall Tucker Band,
not realizing it referred to an actual person. Sadly, toy

(31:27):
he got after it. You know, he liked to ride
that white lady. He liked to hit the bottle, married
two daughters, died in his sleep in nineteen ninety three
heart attack, oh related to cocaine.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
Cocaine Toy cald Wealth. Make sure you see cocaine. Kates
tonight on Spectrum Sportsnet talking Dodgers and speaking of the Dodgers,
congrass the show Hail Toddy.

Speaker 2 (31:55):

an athlete and I used him for today's Flex alert
on Twitter at Pettersen Money. So we'll stick with the
world of athletics. Obscure athletics like Lee Haney, h our

finance guy. Yeah, like a normal business. No, two hundred
million dollars.

McLaren Development program as a team in twenty seventeen, and

nothing but the papaya. He's also on top right now.
It feels as if McLaren wants Lando to win. Yeah,
shut up, Well that's just how it feels.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
We don't like it. We like the AUSI.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
We do like Oscar Pstree wins for Lando in his career.
He's really come on lately. Fifteen poles Smoke Smoke, so yeah,
forty three podiums pole Smoker. Looks like he's gonna win
this year, it really does. But he is pressed by
Max the Mad Max, Dutch Prince uh and Piastree so

(34:23):
for stopping in Piastre right on his ass.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
But may they chase him down?

Speaker 3 (34:31):

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Dan Patrick's been on F one for a long time though.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
For sure, true, true, true, Lando's got dual citizenship from
Belgium as well. He's been racing Formula one since he
was twenty so six years, and it looks like he's
gonna do it this year. Since twenty twenty three, he
has dated Portuguese actress model Margarita Corseiro. Sounds attractive, pawn

(35:17):
and off again since twenty twenty three, Yes she is.
How did you know, Matt.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
I don't know. I just figured f one Instagram Yeah Portuguese,

shot in the dark there.

Speaker 3 (35:32):

a little bit and oh he's probably one of the
top three race car drivers on Earth. Yeah, shut up,

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
