but it wasn't everybody getting one. It was the Vessie
Bobblehead night, and we did not get one or two
or three or four or any So tonight tonight is
their straw hat card. I mean, they give one to
everybody to stop the congestion, but there's still a great
(01:33):
deal of congestion. I don't understand.

(04:11):
the day July second, Happy Birthday America. July second was
the day the Continental Congress voted to severtise with Great Britain.
John Adams so annoyed that they designated the fourth as
our nation's birth that he refused, being a petulant soul,
(04:31):
all invitations to celebrations on the fourth throughout his life,
despite being one of the founding fathers.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I was there and it wasn't the fourth.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Why do you all continue to celebrate on this day?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
This is not proper.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Let it go, John to just chill out, man, let
it go. It's okay.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's about the It's about the message, johnn your red mouth, Thomas.
All right, Quickeets, I'm to you in this Quickeets, I'll.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, Dodgers are fifty six and thirty one in their
back home after a seven and two road trip. Rookie
Sasaki is on the mountain night. We talked about it.
It's one piece night. First fifty two thousand fans will
get a hat and card. There is no need for
any and you're kind of upset or pushing in a shoven.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
You're getting your hat.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
You don't have to pitch a fit. Kids.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
It's not gonna get you a couple thousand bucks, but
international marketplace will still fetch you a profit. Well, I
mean left freaking out.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
New York Post begs the difference.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Yeah, I don't know if the New York Post got
the note that it's not a thousand but fifty two
thousand counts that are being given away.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I don't know if you got the note from the
New York Post New York.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Post saying, but you know they are correct. It is
still a frenzied atmosphere out there. People started lining up
six hours before first pitch, and here we're an hour
and a half or what an hour?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And you know, Matt on the calci app a frenzy
atmosphere drives interest.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yes, yes it does. Fred.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Two hours from first pitch, people relax, You're fine, You're
gonna get your hat, you're gonna get your card. It's
gonna be a great time. And Roki Sasaki's gonna take
the ball now.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
The Angels, on the other hand, are in Seattle to
take on the Mariners tonight. They are a robust fifteen
games under five hundred, and they're gonna return home for
a big Fourth of July weekend series against the Red Sox.
Maybe that catcher will try to jump up and throw
his helmet at one of the Angel pitchers like he
did the other night in watching it, Fox insider Kenny Rosenthal,
(06:41):
who once knocked over a guy and looked at him
so mean, and it's amazing that he could knock over.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
In I was gonna say that guy had a real
bad center of gravity in that photo. Crouch to be
knocked over by a ken who's clocking in it maybe
one hundred and fifteen.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
You just don't expect Rosenthal to have much leverage. No
Hut on the Foul Territory podcast that the Seraphs as
a whole as an organization are not that bad. That
there's a lot of work with there, but it may
take a change in ownership.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
The Angels are a sleeping giant. If they ever get
a new owner, I imagine they will be a very dynamic
franchise in short order.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The way Moreno has.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Run them, they have not been a dynamic franchise, even
with Otani and Trout on the same team, albeit injured.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
For much of that.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
But this is a team that is in a huge
market in a place where players want to be. Who
doesn't want to be in Orange County, California. It's beautiful,
So ultimately they can fix this thing. It's just a
matter of whether this owner will oversee such an operation
(07:50):
or if it will take a new owner for it
to happen.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, there you go. See, I'm feeling great about that
angel fans. All you gotta do is convince your psychopath
old owner and team.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I mean, I feel like I don't have to say
Artie as Farty anymore right now.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
That Kenny Will settles that. Yeah, and you already live
in Orange County, you know how great it is down there.
Certainly three knockout round games today. Espanya beat Austria. Earlier
today the von Trapp family couldn't get it done. That
was at SOFI final three to nothing, Portugal versus Croatia
(08:27):
and later the Swiss versus the people of Algiers, which
is right over Lake Pontatrain from New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Something like that.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Big news yesterday, Team USA did not go down. That
is not where they were going. Despite having to play
the final thirty minutes a man down. They knock off
Hurtz Goovina to zero. They will face Belgium on Monday
night in Seattle at Lumenfield should be an electric electric atmosphere,
(08:58):
and you will hear that game, as we said at
the top here on an eleven fifty five pm Monday.
Of course, after the red card they are without arguably
their best score. Battlegon after he received that red card
last night. You are not only ejected from the game
and they play a man down, but you are suspended
for the next contest. Here is coach Pouch on what
(09:21):
he believes was an unwarranted red card.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
For me, never this red card watching after on TV
on never was the intention That was a normal election
in football. That happened because by accident, and it's never intentional.
That is why for me, never, it's never redcard.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
So never a red card. But it was a red
card and there is no appeal and no appeal, and
people are tweeting out things like this is why Americans
don't trust FIFA. This is why American hates soccer. Look
at this BS, look what they did to flow Right up, bat,
We'll be right back. We'll do three things Thursday, more
(10:04):
about the NBA, and then we'll get to David Masse
and Tim Kits and everybody for Marongo Casino Dodgers on
deck at the top of the hour, right after your
dead and a live guy birthday of the day.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
This is Petro send money on demand demand.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Hey everybody, Petro send money on a crunchy grive and Thursday,
fourth of July weekend. Thank you for listening. Thank you
for being a friend. We hope everybody has a great weekend.
But right now, before we get to the dead and
a live guy, Birthday of the Day in Morongo Casino,
Dodgers on deck with Tim Kates, it is time for
three things. Thursday is three things Thursday on.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
First thing is not team centric but league centric. And
this is quite the revelation.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Is it about the WNBA?
Speaker 3 (11:07):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
No, are you sure? What about at? About at? She
had a fist in Caitlin Clark's throat.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
At not about at?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Christine Brennan and Sarah Spain.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Are fighting, They are going at it all right, Fine,
what league?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
It is the NBA? Oh okay, but it is the
G League. And shame on me, chronic Taco me here
for not knowing. This has been in the G League
for six years. Six years. This has been going on
in the G League and I had no idea. And
finally the NBA is going to give it a go
in the summer league. So let's say you get filed
(11:47):
on a three point attempt. You get one free throw.
If you make the free throw, you get three points.
If you miss the one free throw, you get zero.
If you get filed on a shot inside the arc,
you get one free throw. You make it, you get
two points, you miss it, you get zero.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Same thing.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
When you're in the bonus and you get fouled on
the floor, you don't get two free throws. You get
one free throw for two points. Of course, the and
one still exists, so you make a bucket and get fouled,
you will still get the one shot to add to
the two or the three point to add a single
point to that. And it's so freaking g damn obvious,
(12:27):
like it is right, like it's nothing against Wemby, and
I appreciate his time spent with the shoolin Monks and
his breathing ritual. But when that second free throw shows
up and you know that's coming again, it's like, all right,
I get it, man Gyiannis, and his is way longer
than the ten allotted seconds you're supposed to get for
(12:48):
a free throw attent, like you do that once, fine,
but when it's going on three times because you were
filed on a three pointer, I've got to believe this
is going to be adopted. It has to be again.
It'll be at every summer league, the Northern California, the
Bay Area. One the Vegas Summer League and the Salt
Lake City Summer Leagues are gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Just stopped it by the actual NBA.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
I think so. I think so, just like the MLB pitchclock.
Remember they did it in the minors and then they
worked in his spring training and right after that they
were like, yeah, we're doing this, and then think about
you know, the pushback on that when it first showed up,
and now it's it's like, Wow, I can't believe we
haven't had this all along, that it took us this
(13:30):
long to get the pitch clock, And how much better
is the game with us not standing around between every pitch?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
It's not like what about fatigue? Well, in basketball they
get more tired than in the other sports.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Gives them a chance to get a breather, no doubt,
but hey, get into better shape, man. Okay, okay, okay, guys,
that's gonna start sprints.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Now, they're gonna start laying around and rolling around like
the soccer guys even more.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
The one negative could be that guys that are really bad,
will it lead to more intentional fouling like the Mitchell
Robinson's because they only get one shot. But I guess
that works both ways, right, if they're a fifty percent shooter,
you make one, you get two points. You missy, you
know the one that you get zero. But I do
feel like there is a solution there that that certainly
(14:20):
free throws have bogged on and they they tend to
stop whatever momentum maybe a game has had, the excitement
of this game up and down the court. The athletes
just standing around with their hands on their hips for
a cool ninety second three minutes. They listen, you guys
can figure out your breathing.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Just do what Lebron does. Cherry Pickett half court.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
They're already pretty good shape.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
No basketball players, they're like the worst. They're like in
the are.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
You know, I don't know, I could be wrong here,
what do I know?
Speaker 4 (14:50):
So anxious to see how that works out in the
summer league. Second after yesterday, this is truly one of
the most insane off the court transactional careers we have
ever seen. After yesterday's exchange of Paul George and a
(15:11):
couple of draft picks for Jalen Brown, So Paul George
drafted by the pace and by the way. Every time
he gets traded, the team that receives him. Not the
team that's trading him, like, oh my god, we got
rid of Paul George.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
The team that receives him is the.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
One that is acting like our our chowderhead here who's
freaking out in front of what I would guess is
probably a six or seven year old son and his.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Wife right now.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Paul George, Paul George, Paul George.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
H.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Now, Janie Brown, Massy and your welcome one.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Pin row up. If I haven't talked to his kidd
ooh year, he's calling me right, I.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Can't say, oh right, I haven't talked to his kid
in four years. Drafted by the Pacers in twenty ten,
he was a steal. Remember our dear friend Don Fresno
State slides the number ten first pick. No brainer at
the time, John Wall after that collection of who's and
(16:32):
what's and Howe's Derek favors ekpe Udo, gregman Roe, the
Clippers with Al Farouk Aminu, Gordon Hayward. So Paul George
slides to ten. You can make a pretty easy case
that he's the best player from his draft class. So
you start with that. And he was a stud early
in his career, one that unfortunately ran into Lebron James
(16:53):
and the Heatles back to back Eastern Conference Final losses
to Miami, won in six games, one in seven. He decides,
I can't do it. It's not gonna happen in Indiana.
So at that terrible leg break, too, terrible leg break.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, for Team USA, that was bad. That that probably
set him. Maybe his career would be different if that
didn't could be you know, it's kind of hard to see.
The compound fracture thing kind of takes a bite out
of your career a little bit.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
But I still play. I carry good basketball that you're right,
You're right. Uh So, he tells the Pacers, I'm not resigning.
I'm gonna be a free agent. Might as well just
get rid of me now. They trade him to the
Thunder for victor O Ladipo and Damontas Sabonis. Okay, at
the time, it was called highway robbery by the Thunder
that George put the Pacers in a bad spot forced
to trade killed his value. Sabonis then kicks ass as
(17:40):
a Pacer, makes a few All Star teams, and in
twenty twenty two, the asset they got in return for
Paul George is traded to Sacramento for Tyrese Haliburton. They
future back to back All NBA player who led the
Pacers to the NBA Finals a Game seven of the
NBA Finals and put together one of the most spectacular
(18:02):
postseason clutch shot runs we have seen in the history
of the NBA. Haliburton is in Indiana because of the
Paul George trade, and of course we all know what
happened next. Kawhi wants to sign with the Clippers, says,
I have to play with Paul George or I'm gonna
sign with the Lakers. He goes from his two seasons
in Oklahoma City to the Clippers for of course, two
time MVP and Finals MVP Shay Gilgess Alexander. With the
(18:26):
Clippers pick in the twenty two draft, they draft all
NBA player one of the twenty best players in the league,
Jalen Williams, second best player in their championship team. They
added Thomas Sober last year at Daemara this year from
their picks at the Clips sent over. They traded other
Clippers picks for other assets, but basically they are now
a perennial championship contender and are the favorites to win
the NBA title in twenty twenty seven thanks to Paul George.
(18:50):
Clippers let him walk after he played forty eight games
fifty four, thirty one and fifty six in his first
four seasons, and of course in his contract year he
ends up playing seventy four, lands a max deal with
the Sixers four years, two hundred and eleven million dollars.
(19:10):
After averaging forty games per season his first four years
with the Clippers, he plays over the next two seasons
in Philadelphia, making over fifty million dollars per year forty
one and thirty seven games forty one and thirty seven
at age thirty four and thirty five. That is a
combined seventy eight not even a full season, over two seasons,
(19:33):
making fifty million dollars per year, And somehow, some way,
Paul George has done it again for his team. He
netted the seventy six Ers Jalen Brown, one of the
fifteen best players in the league, a top three MVP
vote getter this last season. The Celtics were supposed to
be in tank mode with this historic draft ahead of them,
much like the Spurs did that landed them Tim Duncan
(19:55):
after David Robinson got hurt. Instead, Jalen Brown leads them
to fifty six wins a two seed on twenty nine
points per game, forty eight percent shooting, seven rebounds, five assists,
and finishes third in the MVP voting. They smoked the
MAVs in five games when he was the finals MVP
three seasons ago. Played seventy one games last year, and yes,
(20:19):
it was disappointing that they lost to the Sixers in
the first round as a two seed, blowing the.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Three one series league.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
That was disappointing, but Jalen Brown averaged twenty six six
and a steal on forty six percent shooting in that
series and had thirty three points and nine rebounds in
the game seven loss. He was very happy with the
year he played, other than the fact they didn't let
him do his little All Star thing at Beverly Hills
that he called the City Races.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
That was unfortunate.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Now they have Paul George Man, who has infuriated every
single team he has been on Indy for leaving, who
would later celebrate by getting Tyree's Aliburton for him OK seed.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
For Dick Russ extra training.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Now Philly, who was so extenct. They were able to
cut loose a guy that they signed for two hundred
and eleven million dollars that didn't play, and they net
themselves Jalen Brown, congratulations Paul George. Having you on a
team somehow, some way nets a franchise, well franchise players.
(21:19):
So good luck to the Celtics. Let's see who they'll
get for Paul George in a year or two. Finally, sorry, Sandy,
one more little nugget on Lebron James, even though he's
no longer a Laker, and you said it, p it
was a podcast that was going to do a blow here.
It's going to land something, Something's going to happen. One
of the great things about not having Lebron James around
is you don't have his agent talking about why would
(21:41):
you sign Austin Reeves? He's a bad fit. Why don't
you trade for a center. I don't like what they
did at the deadline.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Poisoning the waters, Matt poisoning the fresh waters.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Well Rich Paul basically levied his concerns with the Lakers
and why Lebron left, without saying the Lakers intentionally, just
pointing out that Lebron is now gonna chase happiness and
a championship, apparently, two things that he couldn't find in LA.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
And again, when you talk about happiness, you got to
remember it's always been this thing about money. So I
think you're saying I think the happiness word comes into
play when you're saying, No, this isn't about money. Let's
not make this about money. Let's just make this about
me ultimately making a decision based upon how I feel
I want to position myself and be totally happy. I mean,
(22:36):
you had at one point he went to h straight finals.
He had been to the finals more years than he
more than half the years, and he's actually played in
the NBA at one point.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
That's a haul.
Speaker 7 (22:47):
I just think it's more so along the lines of
having the ability to compete for the possibility of winning
a championship.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
So he can't win a championship in LA, and he
can't be happy in LA, which is why we're leaving.
And he then went on to detail that happiness includes.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
A different things for different people. That's what happiness is.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Yeah, and be indoor outdoor golf. Hey, you know, do
you think this guy still has the fire inside of him?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
What's he looking for is a lot of like does
he want too much money? Is that what the concern is? No,
he was asking what our indoor outdoor golf situation was
in town.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Interesting, Like, I.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Mean, I know that Brownie could be a draw for
the people out of the desert, Matt, but why would
you want any inkling of that around anymore? I just
I can't imagine it sell a few tickets in the desert.
But you still get that guy around talking.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
I've talked, I've talked to again.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I've talked to this guy a billion.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
It's trust me and the Golden State.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
I don't think as long as there, as long as
they are indoor outdoor golf, Max, I think he'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
What the hell is wrong with people?
Speaker 4 (24:02):
You know we're thinking about bringing in Lebron? You think
he's gonna have a.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Not enough indoor We don't have the indoor gol sophistication
in the facility.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Can we can we get a simulator?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Please?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Can someone get me a golden tea in here? For
Christ's sakes? I got Lebron coming in an hour. I
need a golden tea.
Speaker 2 (24:20):

Speaker 4 (25:34):
Yeah, Happy would have been one hundred forty ninth to
Herman Hesse Nobel Prize Laiate in Literature. I would say
either throws Walden or Hesse's Saddartha or my favorite read ever,
both very similar. Both kind of about surrendering to the
world around you, taking a break from consumption, material goods,
(25:57):
all that sort of stuff. Hesse born Germany in the
Black Forest. His grandparents served in India as Protestant Christian missionaries.
That's where a lot of the said art the background
comes from. His grandfather was part of the group that
translated the Bible in South India. His mother was born there.
Father the opposite son of a doctor Russian Empire, so
(26:21):
he was born a dual citizen of both the German
and Russian empires. Grew up Lutheran, which he pushed back
against at a very young age. He was an explorer,
kept the diary of his adventures through the forest along
the river, spent a lot of time marveling at nature.
From the Saint Nicholas Bridge is a very smart kid,
so he was sent off the boarding school Switzerland at
(26:43):
the Evangelical Theological Seminary. Would study forty one hours a week.
Started out well and then he just got tired of
it and ran away. Needed a journey. He was kind
of missing depression set in. He attempted suicide, was put
into an institution, got the help he needed, took his exams,
passed them easily, and worked with booksellers, and decided to
(27:07):
take up writing. At the end of each twelve hour workday,
he would write, he would study loved Greek mythology. Made
enough money that he left work and began writing full time.
His first book was a collection of poems One Hour
After Midnight, and that was able to sell enough that
he thought he could make a living, so he got married.
(27:29):
His first and second novels did pretty well, got interested
in Buddhism, left for Sri Lanka, Indonesia. World War One
shows up and he is sent off to serve. By
the time he gets out in nineteen nineteen, the marriage
had fallen apart, his wife had moved on. So depressed,
he moved to a farmhouse in Switzerland and wrote his
(27:53):
next two novels, his best so at Arta and Steppenwolf,
was granted Swiss citizenship, met and married a second found
his happiness. Took on Nazism, imploring the German public to
quote stand alongside spirit, don't sing along when the people
start belting out patriotic songs their leaders have ordered them
to sing. They press attacked him, his books were banned
(28:16):
persona non grata. Many tried to pin him to one religion,
mostly Buddhism, but he said quote for different people, there
are different ways to God, and shared that his parents
Christianity quote one, did not preach, but the one they
lived was the strongest of all powers that shaped and
molded me. He died in sixty two. At the time,
his novels were not popular here. It was Timothy Leary
(28:40):
who brought up Said Arta and the dirty hippies and
the counterculture movement are what really launched his popularity, and
that did a lot. Turns out, those two books, Steppenwolf
and Said Arta, have sold over one hundred million copies.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Making him one of the one.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Hundred most popular authors of fiction. It is not a
long book, so just maybe one hundred and fifty pages,
and here is a small sample of it.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
He who would understand this water and its secrets, so
it seemed to him, would also understand many other things,
many secrets, all secrets. But of all the secrets of
the river he today Ulisa won. This one touched his soul.
(29:34):
He saw this water ran and ran, incessantly, ran, and
was nevertheless always there was, always, and at all times
the same and yet new in every moment. Great is
(29:55):
he who could grasp us understand this. He understood and
grasped it not only filled some idea of its starring
a distant memory, divine.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Yes, that's how I like to read.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Yeah, that's heavy music behind you. That's in my mind's
ear as I read every time.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
That's very You know, I've only heard of the one Steppenwolf,
you know, the Magic Carpetbride derived from that. But I'm
not that smart of a guy. So all right, Matt,
you're a live guide. Birthday of the day is Sweetie,
but it's spelled sweety. Real name saweety saweety, but you're
(30:48):
supposed to just say sweetie, okay. Uh Dnole Cuiava Valentine
Harper is her name from Santa Clara thirty three years
old today. She is a rapper and actress. Her mother
Filipina Chinese, her father a black guy. She grew up
(31:12):
in Hayward, which is a fistfight inn Eiast Bay for sure,
Dirty East Bay. I went to Merylwest High School in
Tracy let's go Wolves. She went to college at San
Diego State and then at USC. I don't know if
she attempted suicide or dealt with depression like a s there,
but she did study communications, which some do say is
(31:35):
almost like suicide. But she focused on her rap career
after that. On Instagram, she rapped and freestyled. On SoundCloud,
she did the same and her big song, Icy Girl,
was certified platinum. Then she rapped more, portraying herself as
(31:57):
a bougie, rich girl enjoying the finer things in life,
which is not what rap music was about when we
were younger. But puff Daddy ruined rap when he made
it about private jets and fur coats and abuse.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Did he make it about abuse?
Speaker 2 (32:18):
So that just I think I think it was one
of the Bye products. Yeah, Matt with the package, she
has many, I mean, the guys swung a kettlebellot. Do
you see a like straight coach? What else do you want?
Matt threatening violence, She has a jewelry line, she has
many collaborations and how do you know you're on top? Well,
(32:41):
in twenty twenty one, she had her own meal at McDonald's.
Was one of those Yeah, one of those rubber cheeseburgers.
It's just Sweetie Matt. She was on SNL and has
had a lot of singles. I think one album there
does seem to have been a bit of a waning
(33:03):
to her stardom. She recently launched a tour with the
rapper Tiger, and they had to cancel that tour, I
assume due to poor ticket sales.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
I believe they call that the blue dot disease. When
you go onto the ticketmaster and you see all of
the available seats the blue dots.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yeah, you would know, you know, like they say, I'm
going out with Tiger, right, they were not like dating.
They were going to go out on tour, but they
had to cancel it. As I said, she's done some acting.
Her cousin is Gabby Union, Dwayne Wade's wife, right. Her
grandfather is former Niner linebacker Willie Harper, and she used
(33:47):
to date. I believe it's Quavo.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
From me, it is Quevo. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
But then in twenty twenty one, she sent a post
confirming that her and Quavo broken up. She wrote, presence
don't band aid scars and love isn't real when intimacy
is given to other women.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Steep.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Yeah, well there's you know, I mean it's not Siddartha,
but it's pretty. I mean, you know, I don't know,
if you play that music and have that lady.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Read, it probably hit you a little bit harder, right.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
She does that? She yes, Kate.
Speaker 9 (34:24):
A few years ago, I saw Sweetie out in front
of our building. In fact, almost ran into her and
her entourage because I was coming up out of the building.
You know, it's kind of slope and you kind of
come up at an angle, and they were walking right
in front of me, even though I had a green
light and there was a whole entourage of people. I
was like, why is Beyonce walking right in front of me?
Now it was sweety, It was Sweetie. I found out
I had no idea who she was.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
And now she dates a British soccer guy named Jaden.
I don't think he's on the national team right now.
Jaden Sancho, Jaden Sancho.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Okay, is her husband?
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Is her boyfriend?
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Now I had a pretty good run with the the
men there.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Yeah, you know, and she's a you know, I few
platinum here and there. The new song got a million
views called buffem I don't know it was named after
the great department store Buffem's Buffs. They used to have
one here on top of the hill. All right, everybody, Well,

Bobblehead night, and we did not get one or two
or three or four or any So tonight tonight is
their straw hat card. I mean, they give one to
everybody to stop the congestion, but there's still a great
(01:33):
deal of congestion. I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I think people, you know, we assume that everybody has
the ability to get that news in the moment.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I mean, if they know it's peace night, can't they
aren't they supposed to know how many are getting. If
one piece night is why you're there, wouldn't you know

You would like to think that, and you.

think I.
Speaker 3 (02:02):

(04:11):
the day July second, Happy Birthday America. July second was
the day the Continental Congress voted to severtise with Great Britain.
John Adams so annoyed that they designated the fourth as
our nation's birth that he refused, being a petulant soul,
(04:31):
all invitations to celebrations on the fourth throughout his life,
despite being one of the founding fathers.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I was there and it wasn't the fourth.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Why do you all continue to celebrate on this day?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
This is not proper.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Let it go, John to just chill out, man, let
it go. It's okay.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's about the It's about the message, johnn your red mouth, Thomas.
All right, Quickeets, I'm to you in this Quickeets, I'll.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, Dodgers are fifty six and thirty one in their
back home after a seven and two road trip. Rookie
Sasaki is on the mountain night. We talked about it.
It's one piece night. First fifty two thousand fans will
get a hat and card. There is no need for
any and you're kind of upset or pushing in a shoven.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
You're getting your hat.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
You don't have to pitch a fit. Kids.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
It's not gonna get you a couple thousand bucks, but
international marketplace will still fetch you a profit. Well, I
mean left freaking out.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
New York Post begs the difference.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Yeah, I don't know if the New York Post got
the note that it's not a thousand but fifty two
thousand counts that are being given away.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I don't know if you got the note from the
New York Post New York.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Post saying, but you know they are correct. It is
still a frenzied atmosphere out there. People started lining up
six hours before first pitch, and here we're an hour
and a half or what an hour?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And you know, Matt on the calci app a frenzy
atmosphere drives interest.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yes, yes it does. Fred.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Two hours from first pitch, people relax, You're fine, You're
gonna get your hat, you're gonna get your card. It's
gonna be a great time. And Roki Sasaki's gonna take
the ball now.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
The Angels, on the other hand, are in Seattle to
take on the Mariners tonight. They are a robust fifteen
games under five hundred, and they're gonna return home for
a big Fourth of July weekend series against the Red Sox.
Maybe that catcher will try to jump up and throw
his helmet at one of the Angel pitchers like he
did the other night in watching it, Fox insider Kenny Rosenthal,
(06:41):
who once knocked over a guy and looked at him
so mean, and it's amazing that he could knock over.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
In I was gonna say that guy had a real
bad center of gravity in that photo. Crouch to be
knocked over by a ken who's clocking in it maybe
one hundred and fifteen.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
You just don't expect Rosenthal to have much leverage. No
Hut on the Foul Territory podcast that the Seraphs as
a whole as an organization are not that bad. That
there's a lot of work with there, but it may
take a change in ownership.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
The Angels are a sleeping giant. If they ever get
a new owner, I imagine they will be a very dynamic
franchise in short order.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The way Moreno has.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Run them, they have not been a dynamic franchise, even
with Otani and Trout on the same team, albeit injured.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
For much of that.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
But this is a team that is in a huge
market in a place where players want to be. Who
doesn't want to be in Orange County, California. It's beautiful,
So ultimately they can fix this thing. It's just a
matter of whether this owner will oversee such an operation
(07:50):
or if it will take a new owner for it
to happen.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, there you go. See, I'm feeling great about that
angel fans. All you gotta do is convince your psychopath
old owner and team.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I mean, I feel like I don't have to say
Artie as Farty anymore right now.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
That Kenny Will settles that. Yeah, and you already live
in Orange County, you know how great it is down there.
Certainly three knockout round games today. Espanya beat Austria. Earlier
today the von Trapp family couldn't get it done. That
was at SOFI final three to nothing, Portugal versus Croatia
(08:27):
and later the Swiss versus the people of Algiers, which
is right over Lake Pontatrain from New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Something like that.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Big news yesterday, Team USA did not go down. That
is not where they were going. Despite having to play
the final thirty minutes a man down. They knock off
Hurtz Goovina to zero. They will face Belgium on Monday
night in Seattle at Lumenfield should be an electric electric atmosphere,
(08:58):
and you will hear that game, as we said at
the top here on an eleven fifty five pm Monday.
Of course, after the red card they are without arguably
their best score. Battlegon after he received that red card
last night. You are not only ejected from the game
and they play a man down, but you are suspended
for the next contest. Here is coach Pouch on what
(09:21):
he believes was an unwarranted red card.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
For me, never this red card watching after on TV
on never was the intention That was a normal election
in football. That happened because by accident, and it's never intentional.
That is why for me, never, it's never redcard.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
So never a red card. But it was a red
card and there is no appeal and no appeal, and
people are tweeting out things like this is why Americans
don't trust FIFA. This is why American hates soccer. Look
at this BS, look what they did to flow Right up, bat,
We'll be right back. We'll do three things Thursday, more
(10:04):
about the NBA, and then we'll get to David Masse
and Tim Kits and everybody for Marongo Casino Dodgers on
deck at the top of the hour, right after your
dead and a live guy birthday of the day.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
This is Petro send money on demand demand.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Hey everybody, Petro send money on a crunchy grive and Thursday,
fourth of July weekend. Thank you for listening. Thank you
for being a friend. We hope everybody has a great weekend.
But right now, before we get to the dead and
a live guy, Birthday of the Day in Morongo Casino,
Dodgers on deck with Tim Kates, it is time for
three things. Thursday is three things Thursday on.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
First thing is not team centric but league centric. And
this is quite the revelation.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Is it about the WNBA?
Speaker 3 (11:07):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
No, are you sure? What about at? About at? She
had a fist in Caitlin Clark's throat.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
At not about at?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Christine Brennan and Sarah Spain.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Are fighting, They are going at it all right, Fine,
what league?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
It is the NBA? Oh okay, but it is the
G League. And shame on me, chronic Taco me here
for not knowing. This has been in the G League
for six years. Six years. This has been going on
in the G League and I had no idea. And
finally the NBA is going to give it a go
in the summer league. So let's say you get filed
(11:47):
on a three point attempt. You get one free throw.
If you make the free throw, you get three points.
If you miss the one free throw, you get zero.
If you get filed on a shot inside the arc,
you get one free throw. You make it, you get
two points, you miss it, you get zero.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Same thing.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
When you're in the bonus and you get fouled on
the floor, you don't get two free throws. You get
one free throw for two points. Of course, the and
one still exists, so you make a bucket and get fouled,
you will still get the one shot to add to
the two or the three point to add a single
point to that. And it's so freaking g damn obvious,
(12:27):
like it is right, like it's nothing against Wemby, and
I appreciate his time spent with the shoolin Monks and
his breathing ritual. But when that second free throw shows
up and you know that's coming again, it's like, all right,
I get it, man Gyiannis, and his is way longer
than the ten allotted seconds you're supposed to get for
(12:48):
a free throw attent, like you do that once, fine,
but when it's going on three times because you were
filed on a three pointer, I've got to believe this
is going to be adopted. It has to be again.
It'll be at every summer league, the Northern California, the
Bay Area. One the Vegas Summer League and the Salt
Lake City Summer Leagues are gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Just stopped it by the actual NBA.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
I think so. I think so, just like the MLB pitchclock.
Remember they did it in the minors and then they
worked in his spring training and right after that they
were like, yeah, we're doing this, and then think about
you know, the pushback on that when it first showed up,
and now it's it's like, Wow, I can't believe we
haven't had this all along, that it took us this
(13:30):
long to get the pitch clock, And how much better
is the game with us not standing around between every pitch?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
It's not like what about fatigue? Well, in basketball they
get more tired than in the other sports.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Gives them a chance to get a breather, no doubt,
but hey, get into better shape, man. Okay, okay, okay, guys,
that's gonna start sprints.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Now, they're gonna start laying around and rolling around like
the soccer guys even more.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
The one negative could be that guys that are really bad,
will it lead to more intentional fouling like the Mitchell
Robinson's because they only get one shot. But I guess
that works both ways, right, if they're a fifty percent shooter,
you make one, you get two points. You missy, you
know the one that you get zero. But I do
feel like there is a solution there that that certainly
(14:20):
free throws have bogged on and they they tend to
stop whatever momentum maybe a game has had, the excitement
of this game up and down the court. The athletes
just standing around with their hands on their hips for
a cool ninety second three minutes. They listen, you guys
can figure out your breathing.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Just do what Lebron does. Cherry Pickett half court.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
They're already pretty good shape.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
No basketball players, they're like the worst. They're like in
the are.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
You know, I don't know, I could be wrong here,
what do I know?
Speaker 4 (14:50):
So anxious to see how that works out in the
summer league. Second after yesterday, this is truly one of
the most insane off the court transactional careers we have
ever seen. After yesterday's exchange of Paul George and a
(15:11):
couple of draft picks for Jalen Brown, So Paul George
drafted by the pace and by the way. Every time
he gets traded, the team that receives him. Not the
team that's trading him, like, oh my god, we got
rid of Paul George.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
The team that receives him is the.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
One that is acting like our our chowderhead here who's
freaking out in front of what I would guess is
probably a six or seven year old son and his.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Wife right now.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Paul George, Paul George, Paul George.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
H.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Now, Janie Brown, Massy and your welcome one.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Pin row up. If I haven't talked to his kidd
ooh year, he's calling me right, I.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Can't say, oh right, I haven't talked to his kid
in four years. Drafted by the Pacers in twenty ten,
he was a steal. Remember our dear friend Don Fresno
State slides the number ten first pick. No brainer at
the time, John Wall after that collection of who's and
(16:32):
what's and Howe's Derek favors ekpe Udo, gregman Roe, the
Clippers with Al Farouk Aminu, Gordon Hayward. So Paul George
slides to ten. You can make a pretty easy case
that he's the best player from his draft class. So
you start with that. And he was a stud early
in his career, one that unfortunately ran into Lebron James
(16:53):
and the Heatles back to back Eastern Conference Final losses
to Miami, won in six games, one in seven. He decides,
I can't do it. It's not gonna happen in Indiana.
So at that terrible leg break, too, terrible leg break.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, for Team USA, that was bad. That that probably
set him. Maybe his career would be different if that
didn't could be you know, it's kind of hard to see.
The compound fracture thing kind of takes a bite out
of your career a little bit.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
But I still play. I carry good basketball that you're right,
You're right. Uh So, he tells the Pacers, I'm not resigning.
I'm gonna be a free agent. Might as well just
get rid of me now. They trade him to the
Thunder for victor O Ladipo and Damontas Sabonis. Okay, at
the time, it was called highway robbery by the Thunder
that George put the Pacers in a bad spot forced
to trade killed his value. Sabonis then kicks ass as
(17:40):
a Pacer, makes a few All Star teams, and in
twenty twenty two, the asset they got in return for
Paul George is traded to Sacramento for Tyrese Haliburton. They
future back to back All NBA player who led the
Pacers to the NBA Finals a Game seven of the
NBA Finals and put together one of the most spectacular
(18:02):
postseason clutch shot runs we have seen in the history
of the NBA. Haliburton is in Indiana because of the
Paul George trade, and of course we all know what
happened next. Kawhi wants to sign with the Clippers, says,
I have to play with Paul George or I'm gonna
sign with the Lakers. He goes from his two seasons
in Oklahoma City to the Clippers for of course, two
time MVP and Finals MVP Shay Gilgess Alexander. With the
(18:26):
Clippers pick in the twenty two draft, they draft all
NBA player one of the twenty best players in the league,
Jalen Williams, second best player in their championship team. They
added Thomas Sober last year at Daemara this year from
their picks at the Clips sent over. They traded other
Clippers picks for other assets, but basically they are now
a perennial championship contender and are the favorites to win
the NBA title in twenty twenty seven thanks to Paul George.
(18:50):
Clippers let him walk after he played forty eight games
fifty four, thirty one and fifty six in his first
four seasons, and of course in his contract year he
ends up playing seventy four, lands a max deal with
the Sixers four years, two hundred and eleven million dollars.
(19:10):
After averaging forty games per season his first four years
with the Clippers, he plays over the next two seasons
in Philadelphia, making over fifty million dollars per year forty
one and thirty seven games forty one and thirty seven
at age thirty four and thirty five. That is a
combined seventy eight not even a full season, over two seasons,
(19:33):
making fifty million dollars per year, And somehow, some way,
Paul George has done it again for his team. He
netted the seventy six Ers Jalen Brown, one of the
fifteen best players in the league, a top three MVP
vote getter this last season. The Celtics were supposed to
be in tank mode with this historic draft ahead of them,
much like the Spurs did that landed them Tim Duncan
(19:55):
after David Robinson got hurt. Instead, Jalen Brown leads them
to fifty six wins a two seed on twenty nine
points per game, forty eight percent shooting, seven rebounds, five assists,
and finishes third in the MVP voting. They smoked the
MAVs in five games when he was the finals MVP
three seasons ago. Played seventy one games last year, and yes,
(20:19):
it was disappointing that they lost to the Sixers in
the first round as a two seed, blowing the.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Three one series league.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
That was disappointing, but Jalen Brown averaged twenty six six
and a steal on forty six percent shooting in that
series and had thirty three points and nine rebounds in
the game seven loss. He was very happy with the
year he played, other than the fact they didn't let
him do his little All Star thing at Beverly Hills
that he called the City Races.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
That was unfortunate.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Now they have Paul George Man, who has infuriated every
single team he has been on Indy for leaving, who
would later celebrate by getting Tyree's Aliburton for him OK seed.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
For Dick Russ extra training.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Now Philly, who was so extenct. They were able to
cut loose a guy that they signed for two hundred
and eleven million dollars that didn't play, and they net
themselves Jalen Brown, congratulations Paul George. Having you on a
team somehow, some way nets a franchise, well franchise players.
(21:19):
So good luck to the Celtics. Let's see who they'll
get for Paul George in a year or two. Finally, sorry, Sandy,
one more little nugget on Lebron James, even though he's
no longer a Laker, and you said it, p it
was a podcast that was going to do a blow here.
It's going to land something, Something's going to happen. One
of the great things about not having Lebron James around
is you don't have his agent talking about why would
(21:41):
you sign Austin Reeves? He's a bad fit. Why don't
you trade for a center. I don't like what they
did at the deadline.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Poisoning the waters, Matt poisoning the fresh waters.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Well Rich Paul basically levied his concerns with the Lakers
and why Lebron left, without saying the Lakers intentionally, just
pointing out that Lebron is now gonna chase happiness and
a championship, apparently, two things that he couldn't find in LA.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
And again, when you talk about happiness, you got to
remember it's always been this thing about money. So I
think you're saying I think the happiness word comes into
play when you're saying, No, this isn't about money. Let's
not make this about money. Let's just make this about
me ultimately making a decision based upon how I feel
I want to position myself and be totally happy. I mean,
(22:36):
you had at one point he went to h straight finals.
He had been to the finals more years than he
more than half the years, and he's actually played in
the NBA at one point.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
That's a haul.
Speaker 7 (22:47):
I just think it's more so along the lines of
having the ability to compete for the possibility of winning
a championship.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
So he can't win a championship in LA, and he
can't be happy in LA, which is why we're leaving.
And he then went on to detail that happiness includes.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
A different things for different people. That's what happiness is.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Yeah, and be indoor outdoor golf. Hey, you know, do
you think this guy still has the fire inside of him?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
What's he looking for is a lot of like does
he want too much money? Is that what the concern is? No,
he was asking what our indoor outdoor golf situation was
in town.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Interesting, Like, I.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Mean, I know that Brownie could be a draw for
the people out of the desert, Matt, but why would
you want any inkling of that around anymore? I just
I can't imagine it sell a few tickets in the desert.
But you still get that guy around talking.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
I've talked, I've talked to again.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I've talked to this guy a billion.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
It's trust me and the Golden State.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
I don't think as long as there, as long as
they are indoor outdoor golf, Max, I think he'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
What the hell is wrong with people?
Speaker 4 (24:02):
You know we're thinking about bringing in Lebron? You think
he's gonna have a.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Not enough indoor We don't have the indoor gol sophistication
in the facility.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Can we can we get a simulator?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Please?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Can someone get me a golden tea in here? For
Christ's sakes? I got Lebron coming in an hour. I
need a golden tea.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Three things Thursday, Ladies and gentlemen, Paul, George, Lebron James
and a rule change. We'll be right back with your
dad and a live guy birthday other day, and then
we'll get you off into your fourth of July Weekend
America two.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Fifty Southern California's most listened to sports talk show.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
This is Money on Demand, Happy Crunchy Group Thursday, Everybody,
Dodgers back Home, all the way straight on till morning
till the All Star Break. Dodgers on Deck starts at six,
first pitch is at seven ten, and don't forget USA
(25:04):
is moving on World Cup Round of sixteen. Who'd have
thought USA versus Belgium five o'clock on AM eleven fifty.
That's on Monday, because we'll have another Dodger game. The
Dodgers will play straight on through and then we have
our event a week from tomorrow, July tenth, at the
(25:25):
Brewery X in Anaheim. Make sure you podcast our show
on the iHeartRadio app or stream at Live there. And
right now it's time for the Dead Guide. Birthday of
the Day.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Yeah, Happy would have been one hundred forty ninth to
Herman Hesse Nobel Prize Laiate in Literature. I would say
either throws Walden or Hesse's Saddartha or my favorite read ever,
both very similar. Both kind of about surrendering to the
world around you, taking a break from consumption, material goods,
(25:57):
all that sort of stuff. Hesse born Germany in the
Black Forest. His grandparents served in India as Protestant Christian missionaries.
That's where a lot of the said art the background
comes from. His grandfather was part of the group that
translated the Bible in South India. His mother was born there.
Father the opposite son of a doctor Russian Empire, so
(26:21):
he was born a dual citizen of both the German
and Russian empires. Grew up Lutheran, which he pushed back
against at a very young age. He was an explorer,
kept the diary of his adventures through the forest along
the river, spent a lot of time marveling at nature.
From the Saint Nicholas Bridge is a very smart kid,
so he was sent off the boarding school Switzerland at
(26:43):
the Evangelical Theological Seminary. Would study forty one hours a week.
Started out well and then he just got tired of
it and ran away. Needed a journey. He was kind
of missing depression set in. He attempted suicide, was put
into an institution, got the help he needed, took his exams,
passed them easily, and worked with booksellers, and decided to
(27:07):
take up writing. At the end of each twelve hour workday,
he would write, he would study loved Greek mythology. Made
enough money that he left work and began writing full time.
His first book was a collection of poems One Hour
After Midnight, and that was able to sell enough that
he thought he could make a living, so he got married.
(27:29):
His first and second novels did pretty well, got interested
in Buddhism, left for Sri Lanka, Indonesia. World War One
shows up and he is sent off to serve. By
the time he gets out in nineteen nineteen, the marriage
had fallen apart, his wife had moved on. So depressed,
he moved to a farmhouse in Switzerland and wrote his
(27:53):
next two novels, his best so at Arta and Steppenwolf,
was granted Swiss citizenship, met and married a second found
his happiness. Took on Nazism, imploring the German public to
quote stand alongside spirit, don't sing along when the people
start belting out patriotic songs their leaders have ordered them
to sing. They press attacked him, his books were banned
(28:16):
persona non grata. Many tried to pin him to one religion,
mostly Buddhism, but he said quote for different people, there
are different ways to God, and shared that his parents
Christianity quote one, did not preach, but the one they
lived was the strongest of all powers that shaped and
molded me. He died in sixty two. At the time,
his novels were not popular here. It was Timothy Leary
(28:40):
who brought up Said Arta and the dirty hippies and
the counterculture movement are what really launched his popularity, and
that did a lot. Turns out, those two books, Steppenwolf
and Said Arta, have sold over one hundred million copies.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Making him one of the one.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Hundred most popular authors of fiction. It is not a
long book, so just maybe one hundred and fifty pages,
and here is a small sample of it.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
He who would understand this water and its secrets, so
it seemed to him, would also understand many other things,
many secrets, all secrets. But of all the secrets of
the river he today Ulisa won. This one touched his soul.
(29:34):
He saw this water ran and ran, incessantly, ran, and
was nevertheless always there was, always, and at all times
the same and yet new in every moment. Great is
(29:55):
he who could grasp us understand this. He understood and
grasped it not only filled some idea of its starring
a distant memory, divine.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Yes, that's how I like to read.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Yeah, that's heavy music behind you. That's in my mind's
ear as I read every time.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
That's very You know, I've only heard of the one Steppenwolf,
you know, the Magic Carpetbride derived from that. But I'm
not that smart of a guy. So all right, Matt,
you're a live guide. Birthday of the day is Sweetie,
but it's spelled sweety. Real name saweety saweety, but you're
(30:48):
supposed to just say sweetie, okay. Uh Dnole Cuiava Valentine
Harper is her name from Santa Clara thirty three years
old today. She is a rapper and actress. Her mother
Filipina Chinese, her father a black guy. She grew up
(31:12):
in Hayward, which is a fistfight inn Eiast Bay for sure,
Dirty East Bay. I went to Merylwest High School in
Tracy let's go Wolves. She went to college at San
Diego State and then at USC. I don't know if
she attempted suicide or dealt with depression like a s there,
but she did study communications, which some do say is
(31:35):
almost like suicide. But she focused on her rap career
after that. On Instagram, she rapped and freestyled. On SoundCloud,
she did the same and her big song, Icy Girl,
was certified platinum. Then she rapped more, portraying herself as
(31:57):
a bougie, rich girl enjoying the finer things in life,
which is not what rap music was about when we
were younger. But puff Daddy ruined rap when he made
it about private jets and fur coats and abuse.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Did he make it about abuse?
Speaker 2 (32:18):
So that just I think I think it was one
of the Bye products. Yeah, Matt with the package, she
has many, I mean, the guys swung a kettlebellot. Do
you see a like straight coach? What else do you want?
Matt threatening violence, She has a jewelry line, she has
many collaborations and how do you know you're on top? Well,
(32:41):
in twenty twenty one, she had her own meal at McDonald's.
Was one of those Yeah, one of those rubber cheeseburgers.
It's just Sweetie Matt. She was on SNL and has
had a lot of singles. I think one album there
does seem to have been a bit of a waning
(33:03):
to her stardom. She recently launched a tour with the
rapper Tiger, and they had to cancel that tour, I
assume due to poor ticket sales.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
I believe they call that the blue dot disease. When
you go onto the ticketmaster and you see all of
the available seats the blue dots.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yeah, you would know, you know, like they say, I'm
going out with Tiger, right, they were not like dating.
They were going to go out on tour, but they
had to cancel it. As I said, she's done some acting.
Her cousin is Gabby Union, Dwayne Wade's wife, right. Her
grandfather is former Niner linebacker Willie Harper, and she used
(33:47):
to date. I believe it's Quavo.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
From me, it is Quevo. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
But then in twenty twenty one, she sent a post
confirming that her and Quavo broken up. She wrote, presence
don't band aid scars and love isn't real when intimacy
is given to other women.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Steep.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Yeah, well there's you know, I mean it's not Siddartha,
but it's pretty. I mean, you know, I don't know,
if you play that music and have that lady.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Read, it probably hit you a little bit harder, right.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
She does that? She yes, Kate.
Speaker 9 (34:24):
A few years ago, I saw Sweetie out in front
of our building. In fact, almost ran into her and
her entourage because I was coming up out of the building.
You know, it's kind of slope and you kind of
come up at an angle, and they were walking right
in front of me, even though I had a green
light and there was a whole entourage of people. I
was like, why is Beyonce walking right in front of me?
Now it was sweety, It was Sweetie. I found out
I had no idea who she was.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
And now she dates a British soccer guy named Jaden.
I don't think he's on the national team right now.
Jaden Sancho, Jaden Sancho.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Okay, is her husband?
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Is her boyfriend?
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Now I had a pretty good run with the the
men there.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Yeah, you know, and she's a you know, I few
platinum here and there. The new song got a million
views called buffem I don't know it was named after
the great department store Buffem's Buffs. They used to have
one here on top of the hill. All right, everybody, Well,
we hope you have a great night. We hope you
