I mean it sink's pretty sweet.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Tonight, Joe Kelly, not up. They put a sliding mine
on it, though that they didn't put my baseball glove.

you know, I hear that's the future of baseball.

Oh, look at that power.
Speaker 1 (03:50):

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Joe Kelly.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Very exciting, Joe. I don't know what you guys have
planned on your show today, but if you want to
get this out of the way, we will. Can they
hear out there? They can hear.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Everybody can hear.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Everybody can hear. The first person to raise their hand,
we'll get this babblehead. After I asked this question, it
is besides being a professional baseball player, what was the
other sport that I could have been just as good?
A hat in the back? Come on skateboarding? He got
it rightly, to come get your babble head, Come and
(04:34):
get you. That's exactly right. Damn, that was quick.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
We got a real Joe killing fan, Empire.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
It was dirt bike riding or skateboarding was one of
the others. So now, what kind of your.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Bones here, Empire?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
What kind of skateboarding you? Joe street skater? I was
constantly getting the cops called on me. Uh, destroying school
hand rails, school stairs, ledges, gaps.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Skateboarding is not a crime.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
It is not a So who was your hero was
it like NAIs was it? Tommy Guerrero was?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I grew up back when there wasn't internet, right like
you guys right, So video my hero was Chad Muska
because I thought Chad Muska died like everybody else, there
was the rumor going around the going around the internet.
They said Chad Muska died, and I just figured he
overdosed on some kind of drug at the time and
he became here. He's not dead. Yeah, there you go.
So skateboarding and baseball don't necessarily go together because you fall,
(05:27):
you break your wrist, you tear things. Any serious injury
in your skateboarding career that led to maybe some danger
in your baseball career. Oh yeah, I mean I coached
my son's trave bolting now, but in between games, I
was riding in skateboards finding a skate park. You know'd
be one hundred and fifteen degrees in Cathedral City at
Big League Dreams and Cats. I tell my dad to
go find me a skate park, and he's like everyone
(05:47):
else is in the shade, you know, drinking water skating.
But going into high school, I was at a six
three skate park and Corona and I broke my foot
doing a Benny Hannah over my brother's head, who was
standing on a table. So it was pretty sick. It
was gnarly his dope trick. I mean, my dad saw
that I was getting a little bit better at baseball
(06:10):
and a little bit more seriously. He's like, hey, you
got to pick one or the other. Ended up picking baseball.
But I do have a skateboard and mostly all my vehicles.
Uh they're got three in my garage, so I do
still skateboard.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
You should come out to when we do the Vans headquarters, right,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
With Christian Hussul, I see halftime, I'm not as good.
I mean I could get on it, but well, who
can give me, Give me some ledges, give me some rails.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I just want to go see flying off the thing
like a.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Cartoon Benny Hanno over Tim Kate's head. That's what I
want to You don't want anybody breaking their limbs. The
Great Joe Kelly is our gal. That's fantastic bobblehead giveaway
night tonight, the Get this babble Head Giveaway.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
We have Mariachi Joe.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
We have our Mariachi band, Mariachi Antiguubed in Mexico. It's
a great party here at September in Rancho Kooka. I'm
gonna be on it's coming up in Riverside. How much
did you find your way in to Rancho Cuca Manga.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Ranch Chickamonga was the girls of the Inland Empire for
the time Hills growing up in right above six Street
and Corona. I always heard of Ranch Cuokamonga before I
moved here, as you know, something in a movie really
obviously Friday, but something that was kind of like not
(07:20):
as Orange County is, but you know then say wannabe.
But now living here, it's great. It's peaceful. I live
at the base of the mountain. It's very quiet. And uh,
my wife's from here. Lots of family. I think some
of her family members are here. My my uncle Doug,
which is her uncle, actual uncle Doug there is why
right there, Uncle Doug and Marty and all of his friends.
(07:41):
He actually is a UC Riverside alumni like me. He
played baseball the Islanders. Let's go Highlanders.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
So when you decide to retire, people retire, and they
moved to Florida. They moved, you know, maybe southern California.
Obviously they think I we think Manhattan Beach something like that.
You decided to come here, Like what was it about
this area? I assume it's a lifestyle thing. But like
what said about Rancho Kook.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
When you've made the you know, you've made the fortune
you have, you can pretty much pick anywhere in the
country to live. Why here? Good question? I asked myself
that every day, once you get married, you kind of
lose all say and uh, you know, it was either
here at Corona, and my wife thought this was a
little bit nicer than Corona. But nothing's wrong with Corona.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Corona.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Man, we have our Corona contingency.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
There there you go. Yeah, So ended up moving here,
got my house in like twenty fifteen. I think, you know,
added on made it bigger, done different stuff. But I
like here. Uh, I love Arizona. Got a place in Chicago,
but I like uh, I like Ranch Chookamonga.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
How is your arm? How are you doing? And what's that?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
That's why I was late. I was throwing in my
batting cage earlier. Anything, no, nothing, No, this one's safe.
It's it's netted all the way around. My Arizona didn't
have a betting cage. Just had a net right, this
one's safe. It's got you know, sixty feet in length.
I got l screens for the boys ahead, and you
got actual Pidgeon machine. But I'd like to do my
throwing on my own. Tell my kids to you know,
(09:04):
maybe watch eating. The throwing has been good. I just
had my fourth bullpend the other day. You know, for
a bullpen, velocity is always you know, hit or miss right.
You don't have the adrenaline of a hitter or live batter.
But I think I'm farther at this point of my
process that I have been, you know, previously my career.
From my fourth bullpen, I'm already throwing ninety two. So
(09:26):
if i could get to ninety five, then I'll step
on the gas and try to make push.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
You've done this a few times, you know, You've had injuries,
different things, and you fought your way back. You found
your way away from the Dodgers and found your way back,
and you always seem.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
To come back. And God, people love you.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I mean people gravitate towards you as a baseball player,
towards you as a person. I think towards you as
a Southern California guy. What keeps you throwing? What keeps
you competitive? Wanting to do it?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Number one? For myself, I think i've you guys heard
her se it. You know, going into the playoffs last year,
I was throwing the ball well. I was ready to
be a big piece. And you know that one live
VP was my last hitter. I threw my last I
threw a change up, held onto it too long and
that's when the injury came. Uh, it was really really bad.
(10:17):
It's something that needs major, major surgery, but it kind
of stood away from that. Never had a real major
surgery throughout my career. So I took a little trip,
did some Kobe things and you know, now the growth
in my shoulder and the repair of the muscles and
the tendons and everything is is. I've had an imaging
done and it looks better than it has when I
(10:37):
was twenty three. So yeah, spent spent some good money
on on It's not technically illegal. It's here and technically
illegal in the country because it's kind of frowned upon.
But I'd pass a drug test. There's nothing there's no steroids,
nothing like that. But it's a different form of treatment
that you know UFC fighters do. But like I said,
spent some good mullah and now my shoulder feels great.
(11:00):
You mentioned you kind of scratched the surface, because that
was always We're like, wait, Cobey's going back to Germany? Like,
so what you.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Ever see RoboCop mat right, That's what happened.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
So what is uh? I always envisioned like the Luke
Skywalker thing. You know when they're working out the yard.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Face is just spread across the throbox. I wish it
went that way rather than me, uh passing out on
the third day of treatment. So what is it like?
Can you share with us what they do? And you know,
it's just say it's a form of stem cells there, Okay,
so they just injected and you're just kind of hanging
out there kind of yeah, kind of. It's it's a
long process.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
But I got to move that needle around.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Man.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
It's it's like taking a cortisone shot.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
No, it's courtizone shot. That's cake Walker.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Did I mean Germany?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Joe?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah? There you go. We don't have to move off.
We do not have the movies.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
What do you.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Expect tonight to be? Like with the quakes? How many
people are you gonna have out there? I'm gonna When
did they start talking to you about this? Did you
consult on the battle and did you look at the babble?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I got some photos I got. I didn't know how
the actual bubble had to turn out. It turn out great.
Got some photos on whatever we're gonna do. This is
before obviously them knowing if I was playing or not.
Last year they said, hey, we're doing another ballad of
the perfect set me photos, agreed on it, and obviously
today and so I've had my son knocks throughout the
(12:16):
first pitch. They asked me to throw the first pitch.
Since I'm not retired, I don't think it's right for
me to throw out the first pitch. Yet, Yeah, that
is what I think. Once you throw out the first pitch,
your your your career is kind of over. So all
the way up until a couple of days ago, I
decided I'm not throwing out the first pitch. My son knocks,
my oldest has done plenty of first pitches. So I'm
my little five year old who's heavily into baseball right now,
(12:38):
every game, every number, he's gonna take his chance on
throwing the first pitch, so he's not even in kindergarten yet,
so we'll see how it goes. But if it was
a first hit, he's got the best five year old
swing in the country. And that's not me blowing smoke
into people's you know up there, you know what. But
if it was a first hit, then I could lob
one in there. You get hit a homer off me.
But the throwing is is a hit or miss, so
(13:00):
we'll see. He's a lefty.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
You can stay up there at It is the family show.
But we're here in the Rancho Cook. We've got off
to ten to be here. It's a wonderful time. Joe
Kelly is joining us on the Petrols and Money Show
and it is Bobblehead giveaway tonight, six thirty. First pitch
at the Quakes. It's a great family affair. And speaking
(13:21):
of that, I heard about this about your travel baseball,
and I would assume that's what Knox and I have
the five year old. No, but you are the coach,
one of the coaches. Yes, and you are heavily involved.
Oh yes, and uh and what's the name of the team.
Where do you guys?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Z T Prospects Artiaga, who's the head guy who runs
a couple of teams we run out of Fontana. Really, yes,
not very many kids are from around Fontana. The closest
ones are probably knocks. You know. We got kids from
San Diego. We have kids from Coachella. But we practiced Fontana,
you know, multiple times a week, and that's the headquarters.
(13:59):
But right now we played our last tournament, which is
the World Series. I'm sure everyone's heard about the story
and the debacle of the World Series of you triblesa.
But now it's it's football.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Got up?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Oh? I was? Yeah, yeah, would you care to share
with the people that may not know? I think I
think it's too long of a story, and I don't
think plenty of time.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
We got plenty of time. I'm gonna start talking about
the Quad Cities here in a moment.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah no, not the River Band. It's it's really dough
River Band. No no, no, but yeah no, so football
or now we're in the football season, which is great.
It's a it's another sport for all you people out there.
I don't think people here septembers are are are afraid
of tackle football at nine years old?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
There you go there, we go. But for most travel
ball baseball kids, they don't play tackle football right head
injuries and you know it's scary, but I grew up
playing football. My dad played football, and he loves football.
It's probably a little bit more if you rank baseball, football, soccer.
He plays all of them. He'd probably put football a
(14:58):
little bit ahead of baseball right now. A quarterback, he's
a backup quarterback. He doesn't want the quarterback he should,
but he does want. He plays middle, linebacker and wide receiver.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
He's a mic and a wide receiver.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
He is. He's a he's a hefty. He's not my build.
I'm slender. He's more of my wife's building. Not to
not to not to say anything. You know, she's an athletic.
She played the Vision one called soccer. You know, she
got the nice, thick, strong legs and that's what my
son has. So uh, he's a he's a football guy.
He's he's aggressive and we play here. The best team
(15:30):
and I think the state they won the super Bowl
last year, undefeated, the Ranch Cooka mung Panthers. Yes, but
obviously not very many kids again from Ranch Cooka Munga actually,
but they all come together and they have a really
good team. Play football. No, football is a great sport.
It's great.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
I mean, we just heard we just heard Lebron preach
this on his podcast with Steve Nash about how important
it is for kids to play multiple sports and like,
your kids only play basketball, that's all they've done. Yeah,
So it's great to hear somebody nut he.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Want the kids to play multiple sports. They want to
play multiple sports, and if they didn't, I would make them. So,
I mean, Knox was on a little league team, Triuball
baseball team, tackle football team, and a soccer team all
at the same time. So it was a you know,
we tell their coaches, hey, he plays, he's on four teams,
he plays three sports. He might I'll make it to
every practice, but it'll be there for the games. So
(16:22):
I think it's a it's it's a good way, especially
because you know, as a someone who's made it to
the highest level of my sport, for him to only
play baseball right and and me to teach him the
way how to play the game the right way. Myself,
I take failure hard, but he as he's getting older,
he realizes what I've done throughout my career. Right, So
(16:45):
even in little games where he doesn't get the guy
in on third base with less than two outs, he
gets upset because I think he's taking failure more because
he knows that he's my son. He's kind of putting
more pressure on himself. But the good thing is I
left him plenty of room to to trump my career.
Lebron didn't leave his Sun's very much room to trump
trump his career. So I've never been an all star,
you know. I've been a middle reliever. I've been a closer,
(17:06):
a champion. I've been a three time starter. Yeah, three
time World Series champion. So that's that's where heard trump.
Yeah that's a big deal. But three time upon it's
a big deal. But I've left him plenty of room
to trump my career in in in the game of numbers, right, Obviously,
maybe not be a better teammate than I was. I
think I was a pretty good teammate. Uh maybe not.
You know, pitch hurt. You know, when he's hurt, he's
(17:28):
like that. I don't feel I'm like, just go through
the damn ball, bro No mean, like get out here,
like I've got torn every muscle, my shoulder, I'm thrown
in the cage right now, you know what I mean?
So uh No, But like I said, I've left him
room for improvement, and I think it's important for them
to play multiple sports, or ride a dirt bike, or
ride one of those little electric bikes or skateboard, do something,
just even if it doesn't make you better at the
(17:49):
primary sport you're playing. I think it just clears your
mind right a little bit. Like you can't just play
baseball and then play Fortnite, you know what I mean.
There's that that's just not how the world works right now.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
But I see him as a future Sea large type
wide receiver. Choke Kelly is our guest. When you talk
about your career and the different places you've been, I mean,
even without what happened in Los Angeles, you've had a
great career. And then you add that to what you're
able to do here in the area that you're from.
How does that make you feel, that that Dodger chapter
(18:20):
of your career and how well received you've been here.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I didn't enjoy it as much as I should have.
I think I'm kind of, you know, even killed with
my mind. You know, It's like I've made. Everyone knows,
I've made tons of money. I'm still wearing bands that
are ten years old right now. Like there's just nothing
that has kind of like changed the way that I
was brought up to, like how I played the game
of baseball. But now since I've had time to you know,
(18:47):
watch Dodging again the TV, hang out with my family,
more coach teams, I've kind of recently, you know, as
recent in the past month, have realized how cool and
special it has been. You know, I was just at
the lake up up in Yosementy that place called Best Lake,
and you know, six hours north, and there's people that
(19:09):
are from Best Lake, which is the town of twelve
hundred people. There, the diehard Dodger fans who have recognized me.
There's a guy who moved there from Boston who's like, hey,
I was a diehard Red Sox fan. So it was
almost a collaboration of, you know, in the past month
of fans from all different eras of my career who
have said, you know, thank you, you know, appreciated what
you've done. And that's something that as a player at
the time when I'm playing, I didn't kind of enjoy
(19:31):
as much. You know what I mean, It's like, hey,
I'm doing, you know, doing my job. It's not like
I'm doing anything special. But now when I sit back
and kind of think about it, I have came or
come to enjoy it a lot more. That's for sure.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
What it look, there's guys that play for multiple teams,
and it's one thing to oh, I was a Dodger
for ten years, and then I did two years with
the Marlins, and you know, you did Red Sox World Series,
Cardinals World Series, Dodgers World I mean, three of the
most iconic teams in baseball. How how similar are they
the fan bases, the how beloved they are in their
(20:06):
their cities. How different are they? And is it easy
to to kind of do that, to compare and contrast
kind of those three iconic franchises in America's pastime.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I think the thing that you can compare easily is
is the greatness, right, That's what you can compare as
organization is Cardinal's great organization have won, you know, since
the beginning of their their organization. You know, Red Sox
great organization have won, you know, as recently Dodgers great
organization have won. But the fan bases as you say,
(20:36):
are different, right, so it's kind of like comparing you know,
let's just take you know, led Zeppelin tons of fans, right,
then let's just go to uh, let's just go religion,
like I'm from Saint Louis. Let's just go you know,
bad religion, the Pope and Catholics. Everyone loves the Pope.
And then let's just go the White Sox, Dodgers. Let's
(20:56):
go Dodgers. Let's just compare them to movies, like, uh,
name a great movie, so let's just compare those are
all fan bases. So I'm taking like three different fan bases.
They all are Dug die Hard into those and all
of them are great, and so it's kind of like
the different places of my career. All of them are
great at what they are. And the different type of
(21:19):
fans are you know, either nice the buttoned up but
you know, right wear my Sunday best type fans. There's
the led Zeppe and fans, and then there's a citizen
Pope fan. So yeah, it's it's kind of hard to compare.
Like they all love every single player on the team,
from the twenty sixth man to you know, a rookie
who just got called up. So I enjoyed every single
(21:42):
moment in my career, and I'm happy that I did
it the way I did it and not backwards right.
I'm I'm kind of thankful that it didn't start off
in La right and then get traded and then go
to another great organization, then go to another great organization.
I'm kind of happy I went great, great, you know,
and then finished, so to say, on here which is
my home not finished? Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Petro some money live on location in Rancho Cucamonga that September,

Quad Cities right, river Cats, river Bandits, river Bandits Mudcats that.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I think there is a team somewhere. Yeah, I'm trying
to figure out your path through the minor league. So
minor leagueya, I went, I went short season, which was
after I signed, which was the New York Penn League. Okay,
that was the muck Dogs. Muck Dogs, That's what I
was then. And then I went to Low A for
a whole season which was the River Bannits, okay, and
then I went Palm Beach Cardinals. Same season was double
(22:54):
A with the Springfield Cardinals, and then I did two
months the next year in Memphis red Birds and then
big leagues. So what are they like? What are the
stops like? Like? Do you have a minor league? Baseball
is great? I and then I can see my smile,
I know, because you could get away with so much
more in the minor leagues, and you can at the
bigleage level. There's more cameras, more eyes on you. You know,
(23:15):
the minor leagues it's more obviously you're trying to get
to the next level. But it was cool because there's
a group of five of us who were always moving
up pretty much together. You know, we'd share two bedroom apartment,
five guys. The guy who didn't make a big signing
bonus was like, I gotta at the couch. Like cool,
We'll take fifty bucks a month from you, you know what
I mean. So from you know, late nights, bus rides
to you know, fighting bouncers, like just just crazy stories
(23:38):
throughout throughout the whole, entire, whole, entire minor league process.
And that's what makes minor league baseball fun. You get
to the big leagues and you get all the nice
bells and whistles, but they kind of take away a
little bit of the fun from you, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
You've said that when you come back, it will be
with the Dodgers, or if you come back, you'll do
it with the Dodgers. Ye, how did how did that?
Was that always your thought process coming back?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah? I don't want to say it's a waste of
time everywhere else, but it's a waste of time for
myself of where I'm at in life right with how
much I'm involved with my sons, do sports. I have
four kids. I like taking them to school, I like
picking them up from school. I like doing you know,
donuts with Dad on you know, Fridays, this little things
like that that I enjoy. And I'm thirty seven now
(24:24):
and I feel like I'm I'm not old, but I'm
too old to go travel away from my family and
you know, leave them back here. And have my wife
deal with knocks, me in four sports, my daughter and dance, soccer,
my son in soccer, baseball, you know, and then the
two year old. But like like I said, I'm it's
the right choice for me at this point in my career.
(24:44):
So that's why all those aspects or all those factors
are are leading up to watch. Can you hit? No? No,
I can't hit.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Do you get mad?
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Although I did lead krona High my senior year in
batting average? There you go.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Do you do you get mad when they lose? Do you?
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Or do you do?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
You have more of an even key latitude about it?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
It's even killed. Uh. But like I said, Crew, who
is my five year old, who is a diehard baseball fan.
He gets really upset when they lose. He asked questions
like why, like you know, why didn't Why why do
you swing and miss with a guy on third? Like
just the little things. He's very in keen to the game,
Knox and care less. He'd rather just you know, go
play outside or ride a scooter. But me and myself,
(25:29):
I don't get upset. Uh. It's just like I know
that I could help persume. That's what I'm thinking you Uh,
you mentioned your pops. He was a football player right
direct for the Chargers. Yeah, so in Bandy, so kind
of coming up. You mentioned you play baseball, your kids
play baseball? Were you playing football? I did, okayron the Chargers.
I was really into it. But like I said, I
(25:52):
was really into not working as hard when I was younger,
unless it was skateboarding or stuff like that. So when
I got to Corona High football we were all in Corona.
I did track, right, you know what track is in
for school where it's like two months on, one month off,
two months on one month off. So there wasn't a
traditional summer when in my junior high on my elementry,
(26:13):
No it didn't. This is why because I was on
the D track, which is great because I was the
last month to get out, so it was two months
and I was the last month to get out, which
was May. And so when I went back to school,
technically all real school was done. So I had a
four and a half month vacation going into high school,
which is better than a two and a half month vacation.
(26:34):
So that's why track was great. But going into going
but going into Corona High, I would signed up for football,
got everything ready and found out that we were working
out in the summer eight am waights. Uh. And then
after that and I looked at my dad and I said,
I think I'm gonna focus on baseball. Because this came
right after the talk where I need to stop skateboarding
(26:56):
because he thought I was getting good at baseball. So
I said, I think I'm gonna focus on baseball. I
broke his heart because he's a football guy. He never
played baseball. He played t ball.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
You know.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
He cried for a little bit, but ended up working
out great. And you know, he was my coach, my
baseball coach, but he only you know, took me so
far on what he could teach me about the game.
So it was better that way, knowing that, you know,
I didn't have to like put all this pressure myself
to be a great football player. It kind of went
my own route. And like I said, it.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Worked out And seems like for you, the great Joe
Kelly is with us. Rancho Cucamugga quits tonight.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
We'll have Joe. Let me push one of these back.
I don't know why you guys have him label. You
should have a memory.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
But there's other's tough in there.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
There's a lot of them there.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
You go the all the you know, but feel free
to uh to take after So I would love to ask,
because we just had that Padre series where it got
away from him a little bit, got a little loose
multiple times out of the dugout and uh, some guys
getting hit. We obviously is Dodger fans remember twenty thirteen
and and Henley and you know yours. It's a one
(28:06):
and two count. It's the freaking NLCS and you're talking
about problem the plate. So I walk us through the
mindset of a pitcher versus a hitter and that delicate
balance of trying to establish who's going to be the
alpha in that interaction and that at bat well.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
As a pitcher, now I understand what has to go down,
but at the time, being my second season, Yadi and
Molina was kind of my captain, right, so to say, uh,
and there's a there's a short story real quick. My
rookie year, I was pitching great. I was. I was
told never to shake off YadA and Malina got all time,
(28:43):
so I was, uh. I think it was against Kansas City,
probably like one of my seven starts and I had
basically loaded nobody out and he called a pitch that
which is a two seamer sinker that I was I
kind of threw from down here more and the Cardinals
organization they want ground balls, and I shook him and
he put down the sign again and I shook him,
and then I stepped off and I got back on
the mound and everyone's going like, what's going on. This
(29:07):
is before pitchclock, so this this was probably the forty
second thing. And I wanted to throw a slider, and
so he put up his mask like this, and he
gave me like a desk there and put it back
up with there's probably a video somewhere. And the hitter
got back in and he's like looking like what's going on.
So I'm wait for my sign and he goes like this,
and I'm like, this guy didn't give me a sign.
He says, throw the ball, and so I throw a ball,
(29:28):
and I throw a fastball because I went back to
what it did, throw a fastball, ground ball, double play,
got the guy at home, got the guy at first
two outs. Next pitch, he goes like this, throw the ball,
and I'm like, this guy's not give me a sign.
So I was like, should I throw a slider real quick?
He goes, no, throw the ball, throw the ball, probaby.
So I throw another fastball, two pitches, get out of
the inning. Basic load Houdini. So I get back on
the dugout and he freaking kills me. He's like, don't
(29:50):
you ever f and shake me off. He's like, you're
a rookie bitch, like all this stuff, right, and so
I'm like, good, all right, good. So fast forward a year.
This is after we I pitched in the playoffs against
that year, and so fast forward another year, the same
situation comes up. I haven't shook him off for almost
two years of my career. Get out of a big
jam again. We get back in the day out. He
(30:11):
goes poppy, if you feel like you don't have command
of this pitch, just shake me off and throw a
different pitch. And meanwhile, in my head, I'm going, a
year ago, you almost ripped my throat out right. And
so even though he gave me like the reins, because
I kind of earned my stripes with the Cardinals, right,
I went back out there and he'd call the wrong
pitch and I'd still throw it, just because I trusted
(30:32):
him right. He was the only catcher that I ever
saw get there before every single coach. He was scouting.
Like nowadays, it's like the coaches do the scouting. Front
office is doing scouting, like this is what you should
throw here, no matter what, throw this pitch with the
guy on third D. But Yati was doing that before
all all the you know, the analytics, so to say.
And so after the conversation happens. So we get into
the playoffs and we usually have to scout as a
(30:55):
starting pitcher. There's meetings, so much goes into it. So
we get into the playoffs, we go to our meeting.
Every pitcher comes in. I'm like, this is weird because
you know, Wayne Wright, Carpenter, Jake Westbrook, you know, all
the pitchers come in, relievers with starters, which has never
been done. We sit down, We're like, all right, cool,
we're gonna go over an hour and a half a video.
We get in and Mike Matheni comes in, pitching coach
(31:18):
comes in, and Yaddy goes, okay, guys have something to say.
I've already done everything. Meeting over, just follow what I do.
We're like, all right, cool, and so I get ready
for my start, which is like Game three of the NLCS,
and Handley's on a Terry's in like six seventy whatever
he's doing carrying the team, and Yadie knows Hanley. He's like, hey,
he's not very tough, Like he may look big and tough,
(31:38):
but he's he's he's a big, big ass baby. So
all right, he goes, whatever we do, I don't care
if there's basically load nobody out. He's like, we're gonna
pitch him in. We're gonna pitch him in. He goes,
I set up. I'll set up right behind him, Like
if it goes right by his jersey, who cares. You
get two strikes, you're down three zero. We're pitching him in.
We're pitching him pitching in like we got it, Like
we got to stop this guy. He's like, I don't
care if he gets on base. You walk a guy,
(32:00):
he's like everyone else. We could pitch around, Like I
know how to pitch him with all your stuff. He's like,
no matter what, you better not miss. He's like if
you actually hit him, oh well, he's like, I'll rip
his throat out before he even gets too. So I'm like,
all right, so it's one two count and he calls
fastball in again. I'm like, all right, fast fall in
and it got away from me. And but there's a
guy on second and third thing of the time, and
(32:20):
I was like hit him, which didn't think he was
gonna get hurt, and I guess it suck him good, right,
So obviously he gets on base, two outs. I get
the next guy out, but he runs back out the
shore sop of the next inning, right, and he's like
holding the side and handy. He's like in yacht He's like,
we got it, like you took care of like our
whole like game plan. Like now we're gonna make him
feeling comfortable because the game before, no one was pitching
(32:42):
him in. And I don't remember if it was the first, first,
second start, but nobody was pitching him in. He'd like
watched all his video. He's like, we're just they're doing
a favor. Throw them slider away Homer, fastball away Homer,
you know, slider down the middle, down low double the
right center field. He's like, no one has even established
in And so this is the old school thinking of yachty.
And so we see Hanley growing back out Hanley like
(33:03):
takes a ground ball and like holding aside, and then
he calls time and training runs out and then he
runs off into dugout and he's gone, and Yaddy comes
up to me. He's like, you see, you see he
doesn't want to play the rest of the game, right,
But Yachty's a savage bro. I love that guy. Obviously,
Molina brothers are Molina brothers are obviously historic. They got
(33:23):
a movie coming out about him with lin Manuel Miranda.
But we didn't know obviously that he had a fracture
in his rip from that, right. I wasn't trying to
hurt Hanley. I was just trying to listen to Yatty
was telling me to do because like I remember what
I said he did to him when I shook him off.
But anyways, we I think Hanley tried to hit again
the next game and they called the quid something like
that the rest of the way. But anyways, Yachty was,
(33:44):
like I said, YACHTI was the og and the one
of the most smartest human beings I've been around for baseball.
But obviously Dodger fans hated me for that time because
I thought that was their year, right, obviously it's like it.
It seemed like it. But you guys forget, you know,
not to hate Clayton, because Clayton's a Hall of Famer,
but I mean Clayton was giving homers up to like
our left handed hitters, you know what I mean. He
(34:06):
was giving up holders like Matt And it was you know,
Matt Carpenter was still going and Matt carbon who had
like eleven homers at the time. Like so, like, there
was there's other things that led to, you know, losing
the series. It wasn't just Hanley, but I think as
a team morale, probably if I was on the other
side of like, dang, our best hitter is not gonna
you know, produce like how we're supposed to produce holding
(34:27):
his side. But then again, I played with Hanley. I
played with Hanley in Boston, and Hanley knows this, and
we he what was it traded over? Yes, he was
traded over, And so I was like, well, this is awkward.
So then we first team meeting goes. We got out
of the meeting and Hanley's like, hey, Papa, you hit
me on purpose. I was like, well, I wasn't gonna
let he hit the ball. But It wasn't purposely hitting
(34:48):
you up, but I was perfectly trying to get inside
and if you can get out of the way, it
was gonna hit you. And he goes, okay, I like that,
and I was I was like, so we're good. He's like,
we're good. But then playing with Hanley, Uh, I understood
what y'all he was talking about handy and hope you're
tougher nowadays. Handle. If a spider bit Hanley in the toenail,
he would uh probably take the game off. But Hanley,
(35:09):
I love you, but you were not the toughest.

before we go any further.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
I mean, I'm serious.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Listen, five or six listeners pulled me aside the voice
concerns over Matt Muney Smith's muscular, spider monkey like frame.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Yes, that's ridiculous. I'm not joke pounds, there's no muscle here.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
I try to say to a couple of the different listeners. Tranquilo,
Carnal Dranquilo, take it easy. Matt is fine, He's just
so incredibly sinewy, swollen. But because of his tank top
and his physique, a lot of people have been distracted
(39:58):
and his signature Kurt Russell big trouble in Little China
tank time that we can get behind. I am not kidding. Hey,
you raise your hand. The people that came up to
me in voice concerned about how swoll Matt was, Yes,
that guy did the schooner. Yeah, the guy with the
biggest beer of all time here at September sat room, Well,
I'm jealous eatery. A couple people they were like, hey,
(40:20):
is Matt okay? He looks pretty swoll, like he can't,
you know, like he's almost like and one guy.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
I'm trapped out.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
One guy said, I nodded my head at Matt, like, hey,
what's up, bruh, And he couldn't nod his head because
he was so swoll. He had to bend at the waist,
like what's up. So careful. Matt is swaller than the
bouncers that Joe Kelly fought when he was in.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
The minor leagues, the Quad Cities bouncers too.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
Swall voice of the Bolts, ladies and gentlemen, take your
pictures before he puts his sweatshirt back on. And I
gotta say, I was looking on the TV because we're

the Extra Old we are streaming on Facebook, and I
was looking up at the screen. You see him there
(41:06):
on your screen, right, And Matt was standing here next
to Joe Kelly.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Stop it.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
And there was two tank tops and it was like, Dude,
Matt's more swollen than Joe Kelly. Jesus Christ. Matt's flexing
out on Joe Kelly showing his TRICEP liked and I
was like, man, Matt, is that's a different You know.
Matt was more fleshy at k Rock, But now you

sinnery swoll like a spider monkey, like he's gonna jump
out of a tree in Thailand and attach himself to
your faith.
Speaker 2 (41:39):

Speaker 4 (41:40):
All right, we'll be back. There was a lot of us.
There was concern. Eddie knows a couple of people can't.
Eddie's kind of sinning. We swollen himself, Eddie Jarvis, he's
got me by twenty five pounds. Well, Matt, I'm not
talking about I mean, look, you might fight in a featherweight,
but that.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Doesn't mean you're not swoll. Did he just hit me?
I think something just hit me.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
A couple guys were like, hey, is he okay? I
mean pretty smol And I was like, yeah, dude, it's crazy.

The great Jack Benny, a popular character in the twentieth
century radio and TV world, started his radio show in
the thirties, went to television in nineteen fifty all the
way to nineteen sixty five. And it was Jack Benny,
a very snarky comedian who played the violin, and his
(45:16):
promotion of Cuckamonga through the brilliant mel blank train station impression,
that has caused the fame, the fortune, and the beauty
of this foothill enclave, Rancho Cucamonga.
Speaker 3 (45:31):
That's right, go.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
He would happen.
Speaker 3 (45:36):
Or anaheim Azusa and Cook.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
You see that something.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
It's don't get off at Coke Kamonga. We don't stop there.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
It is the pause between Cooke.
Speaker 4 (45:52):
Amonga that made this place famous, that put this city
on the map. Jack Benny's show allowed Ranch Kok to
gain so much power over their neighbors like September's tap
Room and Corky's, and they have grown with power here
in the beautiful in An Empire. Benny helped the Cook
so much that Rancho Cucamonga incorporated their neighboring sad weaker
(46:21):
cities punk Ass and Awanda and Altalloma. Think about it,
if mel Blank had said out the Looma.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
Or at.
Speaker 4 (46:38):
Towanda, we could be standing in at Awanda or Altalloma
right now.
Speaker 3 (46:44):
I'm naming a tract fine for anaheim Usa and Cook.
Speaker 4 (46:52):
But it was Cuckamonga that became strong because of Benny.
And it was able, like hungry hungry hippos to eat
eat Alta Loma and to eat at Awanda.
Speaker 3 (47:02):
Now who here is from Alta Loma?
Speaker 2 (47:05):
See very few matter your hands?
Speaker 3 (47:06):
Yeah, and you feel small? Who here is from at Tawanda? Again?
Speaker 4 (47:13):
Even swallowed up by Rancho Cucamonga. Now I did consider
earlier today doing like I do in Cerritos when I
visit the Pat Nixon statue. I visited the Pat Nixon
statue in Critos now three times.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
Right, local haunt you were thinking about checking out.
Speaker 4 (47:30):
I was thinking about going because it's been here for
forty eight years, to see the Jack Benny statue, which
is right outside of Lonemark Stadium where the Quakes play
with a Jack Benny statue, and the Quakes have a
game tonight. But a couple of you have realized a
couple of years ago that they moved him. They moved
(47:52):
him to City Hall, which is a ten minute drive
from here. That's way too far, two and a half
miles too far. Can't do that. I had to, you know,
hot damp i ate the hot dog quite quickly. It's
down Civic Center Drive. Who here has seen the Jack
Benny statue? All right, Okay, I've tried to teach you
people something about the history to help you people. You know,
you guys want to walk around like idiots, not know
(48:14):
anything about your area. Fine, it's wonderful to be here
at Septembers. And I don't know if September's or Corki's
or the two Dental offices.
Speaker 3 (48:26):
Or the the U.
Speaker 4 (48:28):
The Claw Place, there's a there's like an anime Claw
place where it's all games and you can like at.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
The chunk to get the prizes that never know some
of those.
Speaker 4 (48:37):
Things would be here if it wasn't for Jack Benny Fair,
And I just wanted to make that point moving forward
and acknowledge Jack Benny's existence is why Rancho Kuckamonga is
what it is.
Speaker 3 (48:51):
Do you know where the owner of Septembers is from?
Speaker 2 (48:54):
I'm gonna go with that, Awanda.
Speaker 3 (48:55):
That's very.

Very exciting, Joe. I don't know what you guys have
planned on your show today, but if you want to
get this out of the way, we will. Can they
hear out there? They can hear.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Everybody can hear.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Everybody can hear. The first person to raise their hand,
we'll get this babblehead. After I asked this question, it
is besides being a professional baseball player, what was the
other sport that I could have been just as good?
A hat in the back? Come on skateboarding? He got
it rightly, to come get your babble head, Come and
(04:34):
get you. That's exactly right. Damn, that was quick.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
We got a real Joe killing fan, Empire.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
It was dirt bike riding or skateboarding was one of
the others. So now, what kind of your.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Bones here, Empire?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
What kind of skateboarding you? Joe street skater? I was
constantly getting the cops called on me. Uh, destroying school
hand rails, school stairs, ledges, gaps.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Skateboarding is not a crime.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
It is not a So who was your hero was
it like NAIs was it? Tommy Guerrero was?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I grew up back when there wasn't internet, right like
you guys right, So video my hero was Chad Muska
because I thought Chad Muska died like everybody else, there
was the rumor going around the going around the internet.
They said Chad Muska died, and I just figured he
overdosed on some kind of drug at the time and
he became here. He's not dead. Yeah, there you go.
So skateboarding and baseball don't necessarily go together because you fall,
(05:27):
you break your wrist, you tear things. Any serious injury
in your skateboarding career that led to maybe some danger
in your baseball career. Oh yeah, I mean I coached
my son's trave bolting now, but in between games, I
was riding in skateboards finding a skate park. You know'd
be one hundred and fifteen degrees in Cathedral City at
Big League Dreams and Cats. I tell my dad to
go find me a skate park, and he's like everyone
(05:47):
else is in the shade, you know, drinking water skating.
But going into high school, I was at a six
three skate park and Corona and I broke my foot
doing a Benny Hannah over my brother's head, who was
standing on a table. So it was pretty sick. It
was gnarly his dope trick. I mean, my dad saw
that I was getting a little bit better at baseball
(06:10):
and a little bit more seriously. He's like, hey, you
got to pick one or the other. Ended up picking baseball.
But I do have a skateboard and mostly all my vehicles.
Uh they're got three in my garage, so I do
still skateboard.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
You should come out to when we do the Vans headquarters, right,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
With Christian Hussul, I see halftime, I'm not as good.
I mean I could get on it, but well, who
can give me, Give me some ledges, give me some rails.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I just want to go see flying off the thing
like a.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Cartoon Benny Hanno over Tim Kate's head. That's what I
want to You don't want anybody breaking their limbs. The
Great Joe Kelly is our gal. That's fantastic bobblehead giveaway
night tonight, the Get this babble Head Giveaway.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
We have Mariachi Joe.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
We have our Mariachi band, Mariachi Antiguubed in Mexico. It's
a great party here at September in Rancho Kooka. I'm
gonna be on it's coming up in Riverside. How much
did you find your way in to Rancho Cuca Manga.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Ranch Chickamonga was the girls of the Inland Empire for
the time Hills growing up in right above six Street
and Corona. I always heard of Ranch Cuokamonga before I
moved here, as you know, something in a movie really
obviously Friday, but something that was kind of like not
(07:20):
as Orange County is, but you know then say wannabe.
But now living here, it's great. It's peaceful. I live
at the base of the mountain. It's very quiet. And uh,
my wife's from here. Lots of family. I think some
of her family members are here. My my uncle Doug,
which is her uncle, actual uncle Doug there is why
right there, Uncle Doug and Marty and all of his friends.
(07:41):
He actually is a UC Riverside alumni like me. He
played baseball the Islanders. Let's go Highlanders.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
So when you decide to retire, people retire, and they
moved to Florida. They moved, you know, maybe southern California.
Obviously they think I we think Manhattan Beach something like that.
You decided to come here, Like what was it about
this area? I assume it's a lifestyle thing. But like
what said about Rancho Kook.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
When you've made the you know, you've made the fortune
you have, you can pretty much pick anywhere in the
country to live. Why here? Good question? I asked myself
that every day, once you get married, you kind of
lose all say and uh, you know, it was either
here at Corona, and my wife thought this was a
little bit nicer than Corona. But nothing's wrong with Corona.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Corona.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Man, we have our Corona contingency.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
There there you go. Yeah, So ended up moving here,
got my house in like twenty fifteen. I think, you know,
added on made it bigger, done different stuff. But I
like here. Uh, I love Arizona. Got a place in Chicago,
but I like uh, I like Ranch Chookamonga.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
How is your arm? How are you doing? And what's that?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
That's why I was late. I was throwing in my
batting cage earlier. Anything, no, nothing, No, this one's safe.
It's it's netted all the way around. My Arizona didn't
have a betting cage. Just had a net right, this
one's safe. It's got you know, sixty feet in length.
I got l screens for the boys ahead, and you
got actual Pidgeon machine. But I'd like to do my
throwing on my own. Tell my kids to you know,
(09:04):
maybe watch eating. The throwing has been good. I just
had my fourth bullpend the other day. You know, for
a bullpen, velocity is always you know, hit or miss right.
You don't have the adrenaline of a hitter or live batter.
But I think I'm farther at this point of my
process that I have been, you know, previously my career.
From my fourth bullpen, I'm already throwing ninety two. So
(09:26):
if i could get to ninety five, then I'll step
on the gas and try to make push.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
You've done this a few times, you know, You've had injuries,
different things, and you fought your way back. You found
your way away from the Dodgers and found your way back,
and you always seem.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
To come back. And God, people love you.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I mean people gravitate towards you as a baseball player,
towards you as a person. I think towards you as
a Southern California guy. What keeps you throwing? What keeps
you competitive? Wanting to do it?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Number one? For myself, I think i've you guys heard
her se it. You know, going into the playoffs last year,
I was throwing the ball well. I was ready to
be a big piece. And you know that one live
VP was my last hitter. I threw my last I
threw a change up, held onto it too long and
that's when the injury came. Uh, it was really really bad.
(10:17):
It's something that needs major, major surgery, but it kind
of stood away from that. Never had a real major
surgery throughout my career. So I took a little trip,
did some Kobe things and you know, now the growth
in my shoulder and the repair of the muscles and
the tendons and everything is is. I've had an imaging
done and it looks better than it has when I
(10:37):
was twenty three. So yeah, spent spent some good money
on on It's not technically illegal. It's here and technically
illegal in the country because it's kind of frowned upon.
But I'd pass a drug test. There's nothing there's no steroids,
nothing like that. But it's a different form of treatment
that you know UFC fighters do. But like I said,
spent some good mullah and now my shoulder feels great.
(11:00):
You mentioned you kind of scratched the surface, because that
was always We're like, wait, Cobey's going back to Germany? Like,
so what you.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Ever see RoboCop mat right, That's what happened.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
So what is uh? I always envisioned like the Luke
Skywalker thing. You know when they're working out the yard.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Face is just spread across the throbox. I wish it
went that way rather than me, uh passing out on
the third day of treatment. So what is it like?
Can you share with us what they do? And you know,
it's just say it's a form of stem cells there, Okay,
so they just injected and you're just kind of hanging
out there kind of yeah, kind of. It's it's a
long process.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
But I got to move that needle around.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Man.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
It's it's like taking a cortisone shot.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
No, it's courtizone shot. That's cake Walker.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Did I mean Germany?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Joe?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah? There you go. We don't have to move off.
We do not have the movies.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
What do you.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Expect tonight to be? Like with the quakes? How many
people are you gonna have out there? I'm gonna When
did they start talking to you about this? Did you
consult on the battle and did you look at the babble?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I got some photos I got. I didn't know how
the actual bubble had to turn out. It turn out great.
Got some photos on whatever we're gonna do. This is
before obviously them knowing if I was playing or not.
Last year they said, hey, we're doing another ballad of
the perfect set me photos, agreed on it, and obviously
today and so I've had my son knocks throughout the
(12:16):
first pitch. They asked me to throw the first pitch.
Since I'm not retired, I don't think it's right for
me to throw out the first pitch. Yet, Yeah, that
is what I think. Once you throw out the first pitch,
your your your career is kind of over. So all
the way up until a couple of days ago, I
decided I'm not throwing out the first pitch. My son knocks,
my oldest has done plenty of first pitches. So I'm
my little five year old who's heavily into baseball right now,
(12:38):
every game, every number, he's gonna take his chance on
throwing the first pitch, so he's not even in kindergarten yet,
so we'll see how it goes. But if it was
a first hit, he's got the best five year old
swing in the country. And that's not me blowing smoke
into people's you know up there, you know what. But
if it was a first hit, then I could lob
one in there. You get hit a homer off me.
But the throwing is is a hit or miss, so
(13:00):
we'll see. He's a lefty.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
You can stay up there at It is the family show.
But we're here in the Rancho Cook. We've got off
to ten to be here. It's a wonderful time. Joe
Kelly is joining us on the Petrols and Money Show
and it is Bobblehead giveaway tonight, six thirty. First pitch
at the Quakes. It's a great family affair. And speaking
(13:21):
of that, I heard about this about your travel baseball,
and I would assume that's what Knox and I have
the five year old. No, but you are the coach,
one of the coaches. Yes, and you are heavily involved.
Oh yes, and uh and what's the name of the team.
Where do you guys?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Z T Prospects Artiaga, who's the head guy who runs
a couple of teams we run out of Fontana. Really, yes,
not very many kids are from around Fontana. The closest
ones are probably knocks. You know. We got kids from
San Diego. We have kids from Coachella. But we practiced Fontana,
you know, multiple times a week, and that's the headquarters.
(13:59):
But right now we played our last tournament, which is
the World Series. I'm sure everyone's heard about the story
and the debacle of the World Series of you triblesa.
But now it's it's football.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Got up?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Oh? I was? Yeah, yeah, would you care to share
with the people that may not know? I think I
think it's too long of a story, and I don't
think plenty of time.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
We got plenty of time. I'm gonna start talking about
the Quad Cities here in a moment.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah no, not the River Band. It's it's really dough
River Band. No no, no, but yeah no, so football
or now we're in the football season, which is great.
It's a it's another sport for all you people out there.
I don't think people here septembers are are are afraid
of tackle football at nine years old?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
There you go there, we go. But for most travel
ball baseball kids, they don't play tackle football right head
injuries and you know it's scary, but I grew up
playing football. My dad played football, and he loves football.
It's probably a little bit more if you rank baseball, football, soccer.
He plays all of them. He'd probably put football a
(14:58):
little bit ahead of baseball right now. A quarterback, he's
a backup quarterback. He doesn't want the quarterback he should,
but he does want. He plays middle, linebacker and wide receiver.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
He's a mic and a wide receiver.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
He is. He's a he's a hefty. He's not my build.
I'm slender. He's more of my wife's building. Not to
not to not to say anything. You know, she's an athletic.
She played the Vision one called soccer. You know, she
got the nice, thick, strong legs and that's what my
son has. So uh, he's a he's a football guy.
He's he's aggressive and we play here. The best team
(15:30):
and I think the state they won the super Bowl
last year, undefeated, the Ranch Cooka mung Panthers. Yes, but
obviously not very many kids again from Ranch Cooka Munga actually,
but they all come together and they have a really
good team. Play football. No, football is a great sport.
It's great.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
I mean, we just heard we just heard Lebron preach
this on his podcast with Steve Nash about how important
it is for kids to play multiple sports and like,
your kids only play basketball, that's all they've done. Yeah,
So it's great to hear somebody nut he.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Want the kids to play multiple sports. They want to
play multiple sports, and if they didn't, I would make them. So,
I mean, Knox was on a little league team, Triuball
baseball team, tackle football team, and a soccer team all
at the same time. So it was a you know,
we tell their coaches, hey, he plays, he's on four teams,
he plays three sports. He might I'll make it to
every practice, but it'll be there for the games. So
(16:22):
I think it's a it's it's a good way, especially
because you know, as a someone who's made it to
the highest level of my sport, for him to only
play baseball right and and me to teach him the
way how to play the game the right way. Myself,
I take failure hard, but he as he's getting older,
he realizes what I've done throughout my career. Right, So
(16:45):
even in little games where he doesn't get the guy
in on third base with less than two outs, he
gets upset because I think he's taking failure more because
he knows that he's my son. He's kind of putting
more pressure on himself. But the good thing is I
left him plenty of room to to trump my career.
Lebron didn't leave his Sun's very much room to trump
trump his career. So I've never been an all star,
you know. I've been a middle reliever. I've been a closer,
(17:06):
a champion. I've been a three time starter. Yeah, three
time World Series champion. So that's that's where heard trump.
Yeah that's a big deal. But three time upon it's
a big deal. But I've left him plenty of room
to trump my career in in in the game of numbers, right, Obviously,
maybe not be a better teammate than I was. I
think I was a pretty good teammate. Uh maybe not.
You know, pitch hurt. You know, when he's hurt, he's
(17:28):
like that. I don't feel I'm like, just go through
the damn ball, bro No mean, like get out here,
like I've got torn every muscle, my shoulder, I'm thrown
in the cage right now, you know what I mean?
So uh No, But like I said, I've left him
room for improvement, and I think it's important for them
to play multiple sports, or ride a dirt bike, or
ride one of those little electric bikes or skateboard, do something,
just even if it doesn't make you better at the
(17:49):
primary sport you're playing. I think it just clears your
mind right a little bit. Like you can't just play
baseball and then play Fortnite, you know what I mean.
There's that that's just not how the world works right now.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
But I see him as a future Sea large type
wide receiver. Choke Kelly is our guest. When you talk
about your career and the different places you've been, I mean,
even without what happened in Los Angeles, you've had a
great career. And then you add that to what you're
able to do here in the area that you're from.
How does that make you feel, that that Dodger chapter
(18:20):
of your career and how well received you've been here.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I didn't enjoy it as much as I should have.
I think I'm kind of, you know, even killed with
my mind. You know, It's like I've made. Everyone knows,
I've made tons of money. I'm still wearing bands that
are ten years old right now. Like there's just nothing
that has kind of like changed the way that I
was brought up to, like how I played the game
of baseball. But now since I've had time to you know,
(18:47):
watch Dodging again the TV, hang out with my family,
more coach teams, I've kind of recently, you know, as
recent in the past month, have realized how cool and
special it has been. You know, I was just at
the lake up up in Yosementy that place called Best Lake,
and you know, six hours north, and there's people that
(19:09):
are from Best Lake, which is the town of twelve
hundred people. There, the diehard Dodger fans who have recognized me.
There's a guy who moved there from Boston who's like, hey,
I was a diehard Red Sox fan. So it was
almost a collaboration of, you know, in the past month
of fans from all different eras of my career who
have said, you know, thank you, you know, appreciated what
you've done. And that's something that as a player at
the time when I'm playing, I didn't kind of enjoy
(19:31):
as much. You know what I mean, It's like, hey,
I'm doing, you know, doing my job. It's not like
I'm doing anything special. But now when I sit back
and kind of think about it, I have came or
come to enjoy it a lot more. That's for sure.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
What it look, there's guys that play for multiple teams,
and it's one thing to oh, I was a Dodger
for ten years, and then I did two years with
the Marlins, and you know, you did Red Sox World Series,
Cardinals World Series, Dodgers World I mean, three of the
most iconic teams in baseball. How how similar are they
the fan bases, the how beloved they are in their
(20:06):
their cities. How different are they? And is it easy
to to kind of do that, to compare and contrast
kind of those three iconic franchises in America's pastime.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I think the thing that you can compare easily is
is the greatness, right, That's what you can compare as
organization is Cardinal's great organization have won, you know, since
the beginning of their their organization. You know, Red Sox
great organization have won, you know, as recently Dodgers great
organization have won. But the fan bases as you say,
(20:36):
are different, right, so it's kind of like comparing you know,
let's just take you know, led Zeppelin tons of fans, right,
then let's just go to uh, let's just go religion,
like I'm from Saint Louis. Let's just go you know,
bad religion, the Pope and Catholics. Everyone loves the Pope.
And then let's just go the White Sox, Dodgers. Let's
(20:56):
go Dodgers. Let's just compare them to movies, like, uh,
name a great movie, so let's just compare those are
all fan bases. So I'm taking like three different fan bases.
They all are Dug die Hard into those and all
of them are great, and so it's kind of like
the different places of my career. All of them are
great at what they are. And the different type of
(21:19):
fans are you know, either nice the buttoned up but
you know, right wear my Sunday best type fans. There's
the led Zeppe and fans, and then there's a citizen
Pope fan. So yeah, it's it's kind of hard to compare.
Like they all love every single player on the team,
from the twenty sixth man to you know, a rookie
who just got called up. So I enjoyed every single
(21:42):
moment in my career, and I'm happy that I did
it the way I did it and not backwards right.
I'm I'm kind of thankful that it didn't start off
in La right and then get traded and then go
to another great organization, then go to another great organization.
I'm kind of happy I went great, great, you know,
and then finished, so to say, on here which is
my home not finished? Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Petro some money live on location in Rancho Cucamonga that September,
talf Room and Eatery come see us. We'll be here
till six o'clock. Joe is going to be headed out
to Rancho Cucamonga. He's being honored tonight with a bobblehead
for the Quakes. His son's going to throw out the
first pick. Yea better you better not suck. Don't suck,
young man. I mentioned the river I mentioned the river Cats,
(22:24):
Quad Cities right, river Cats, river Bandits, river Bandits Mudcats that.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I think there is a team somewhere. Yeah, I'm trying
to figure out your path through the minor league. So
minor leagueya, I went, I went short season, which was
after I signed, which was the New York Penn League. Okay,
that was the muck Dogs. Muck Dogs, That's what I
was then. And then I went to Low A for
a whole season which was the River Bannits, okay, and
then I went Palm Beach Cardinals. Same season was double
(22:54):
A with the Springfield Cardinals, and then I did two
months the next year in Memphis red Birds and then
big leagues. So what are they like? What are the
stops like? Like? Do you have a minor league? Baseball
is great? I and then I can see my smile,
I know, because you could get away with so much
more in the minor leagues, and you can at the
bigleage level. There's more cameras, more eyes on you. You know,
(23:15):
the minor leagues it's more obviously you're trying to get
to the next level. But it was cool because there's
a group of five of us who were always moving
up pretty much together. You know, we'd share two bedroom apartment,
five guys. The guy who didn't make a big signing
bonus was like, I gotta at the couch. Like cool,
We'll take fifty bucks a month from you, you know what
I mean. So from you know, late nights, bus rides
to you know, fighting bouncers, like just just crazy stories
(23:38):
throughout throughout the whole, entire, whole, entire minor league process.
And that's what makes minor league baseball fun. You get
to the big leagues and you get all the nice
bells and whistles, but they kind of take away a
little bit of the fun from you, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
You've said that when you come back, it will be
with the Dodgers, or if you come back, you'll do
it with the Dodgers. Ye, how did how did that?
Was that always your thought process coming back?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah? I don't want to say it's a waste of
time everywhere else, but it's a waste of time for
myself of where I'm at in life right with how
much I'm involved with my sons, do sports. I have
four kids. I like taking them to school, I like
picking them up from school. I like doing you know,
donuts with Dad on you know, Fridays, this little things
like that that I enjoy. And I'm thirty seven now
(24:24):
and I feel like I'm I'm not old, but I'm
too old to go travel away from my family and
you know, leave them back here. And have my wife
deal with knocks, me in four sports, my daughter and dance, soccer,
my son in soccer, baseball, you know, and then the
two year old. But like like I said, I'm it's
the right choice for me at this point in my career.
(24:44):
So that's why all those aspects or all those factors
are are leading up to watch. Can you hit? No? No,
I can't hit.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Do you get mad?
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Although I did lead krona High my senior year in
batting average? There you go.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Do you do you get mad when they lose? Do you?
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Or do you do?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
You have more of an even key latitude about it?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
It's even killed. Uh. But like I said, Crew, who
is my five year old, who is a diehard baseball fan.
He gets really upset when they lose. He asked questions
like why, like you know, why didn't Why why do
you swing and miss with a guy on third? Like
just the little things. He's very in keen to the game,
Knox and care less. He'd rather just you know, go
play outside or ride a scooter. But me and myself,
(25:29):
I don't get upset. Uh. It's just like I know
that I could help persume. That's what I'm thinking you Uh,
you mentioned your pops. He was a football player right
direct for the Chargers. Yeah, so in Bandy, so kind
of coming up. You mentioned you play baseball, your kids
play baseball? Were you playing football? I did, okayron the Chargers.
I was really into it. But like I said, I
(25:52):
was really into not working as hard when I was younger,
unless it was skateboarding or stuff like that. So when
I got to Corona High football we were all in Corona.
I did track, right, you know what track is in
for school where it's like two months on, one month off,
two months on one month off. So there wasn't a
traditional summer when in my junior high on my elementry,
(26:13):
No it didn't. This is why because I was on
the D track, which is great because I was the
last month to get out, so it was two months
and I was the last month to get out, which
was May. And so when I went back to school,
technically all real school was done. So I had a
four and a half month vacation going into high school,
which is better than a two and a half month vacation.
(26:34):
So that's why track was great. But going into going
but going into Corona High, I would signed up for football,
got everything ready and found out that we were working
out in the summer eight am waights. Uh. And then
after that and I looked at my dad and I said,
I think I'm gonna focus on baseball. Because this came
right after the talk where I need to stop skateboarding
(26:56):
because he thought I was getting good at baseball. So
I said, I think I'm gonna focus on baseball. I
broke his heart because he's a football guy. He never
played baseball. He played t ball.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
You know.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
He cried for a little bit, but ended up working
out great. And you know, he was my coach, my
baseball coach, but he only you know, took me so
far on what he could teach me about the game.
So it was better that way, knowing that, you know,
I didn't have to like put all this pressure myself
to be a great football player. It kind of went
my own route. And like I said, it.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Worked out And seems like for you, the great Joe
Kelly is with us. Rancho Cucamugga quits tonight.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
We'll have Joe. Let me push one of these back.
I don't know why you guys have him label. You
should have a memory.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
But there's other's tough in there.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
There's a lot of them there.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
You go the all the you know, but feel free
to uh to take after So I would love to ask,
because we just had that Padre series where it got
away from him a little bit, got a little loose
multiple times out of the dugout and uh, some guys
getting hit. We obviously is Dodger fans remember twenty thirteen
and and Henley and you know yours. It's a one
(28:06):
and two count. It's the freaking NLCS and you're talking
about problem the plate. So I walk us through the
mindset of a pitcher versus a hitter and that delicate
balance of trying to establish who's going to be the
alpha in that interaction and that at bat well.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
As a pitcher, now I understand what has to go down,
but at the time, being my second season, Yadi and
Molina was kind of my captain, right, so to say, uh,
and there's a there's a short story real quick. My
rookie year, I was pitching great. I was. I was
told never to shake off YadA and Malina got all time,
(28:43):
so I was, uh. I think it was against Kansas City,
probably like one of my seven starts and I had
basically loaded nobody out and he called a pitch that
which is a two seamer sinker that I was I
kind of threw from down here more and the Cardinals
organization they want ground balls, and I shook him and
he put down the sign again and I shook him,
and then I stepped off and I got back on
the mound and everyone's going like, what's going on. This
(29:07):
is before pitchclock, so this this was probably the forty
second thing. And I wanted to throw a slider, and
so he put up his mask like this, and he
gave me like a desk there and put it back
up with there's probably a video somewhere. And the hitter
got back in and he's like looking like what's going on.
So I'm wait for my sign and he goes like this,
and I'm like, this guy didn't give me a sign.
He says, throw the ball, and so I throw a ball,
(29:28):
and I throw a fastball because I went back to
what it did, throw a fastball, ground ball, double play,
got the guy at home, got the guy at first
two outs. Next pitch, he goes like this, throw the ball,
and I'm like, this guy's not give me a sign.
So I was like, should I throw a slider real quick?
He goes, no, throw the ball, throw the ball, probaby.
So I throw another fastball, two pitches, get out of
the inning. Basic load Houdini. So I get back on
the dugout and he freaking kills me. He's like, don't
(29:50):
you ever f and shake me off. He's like, you're
a rookie bitch, like all this stuff, right, and so
I'm like, good, all right, good. So fast forward a year.
This is after we I pitched in the playoffs against
that year, and so fast forward another year, the same
situation comes up. I haven't shook him off for almost
two years of my career. Get out of a big
jam again. We get back in the day out. He
(30:11):
goes poppy, if you feel like you don't have command
of this pitch, just shake me off and throw a
different pitch. And meanwhile, in my head, I'm going, a
year ago, you almost ripped my throat out right. And
so even though he gave me like the reins, because
I kind of earned my stripes with the Cardinals, right,
I went back out there and he'd call the wrong
pitch and I'd still throw it, just because I trusted
(30:32):
him right. He was the only catcher that I ever
saw get there before every single coach. He was scouting.
Like nowadays, it's like the coaches do the scouting. Front
office is doing scouting, like this is what you should
throw here, no matter what, throw this pitch with the
guy on third D. But Yati was doing that before
all all the you know, the analytics, so to say.
And so after the conversation happens. So we get into
the playoffs and we usually have to scout as a
(30:55):
starting pitcher. There's meetings, so much goes into it. So
we get into the playoffs, we go to our meeting.
Every pitcher comes in. I'm like, this is weird because
you know, Wayne Wright, Carpenter, Jake Westbrook, you know, all
the pitchers come in, relievers with starters, which has never
been done. We sit down, We're like, all right, cool,
we're gonna go over an hour and a half a video.
We get in and Mike Matheni comes in, pitching coach
(31:18):
comes in, and Yaddy goes, okay, guys have something to say.
I've already done everything. Meeting over, just follow what I do.
We're like, all right, cool, and so I get ready
for my start, which is like Game three of the NLCS,
and Handley's on a Terry's in like six seventy whatever
he's doing carrying the team, and Yadie knows Hanley. He's like, hey,
he's not very tough, Like he may look big and tough,
(31:38):
but he's he's he's a big, big ass baby. So
all right, he goes, whatever we do, I don't care
if there's basically load nobody out. He's like, we're gonna
pitch him in. We're gonna pitch him in. He goes,
I set up. I'll set up right behind him, Like
if it goes right by his jersey, who cares. You
get two strikes, you're down three zero. We're pitching him in.
We're pitching him pitching in like we got it, Like
we got to stop this guy. He's like, I don't
care if he gets on base. You walk a guy,
(32:00):
he's like everyone else. We could pitch around, Like I
know how to pitch him with all your stuff. He's like,
no matter what, you better not miss. He's like if
you actually hit him, oh well, he's like, I'll rip
his throat out before he even gets too. So I'm like,
all right, so it's one two count and he calls
fastball in again. I'm like, all right, fast fall in
and it got away from me. And but there's a
guy on second and third thing of the time, and
(32:20):
I was like hit him, which didn't think he was
gonna get hurt, and I guess it suck him good, right,
So obviously he gets on base, two outs. I get
the next guy out, but he runs back out the
shore sop of the next inning, right, and he's like
holding the side and handy. He's like in yacht He's like,
we got it, like you took care of like our
whole like game plan. Like now we're gonna make him
feeling comfortable because the game before, no one was pitching
(32:42):
him in. And I don't remember if it was the first, first,
second start, but nobody was pitching him in. He'd like
watched all his video. He's like, we're just they're doing
a favor. Throw them slider away Homer, fastball away Homer,
you know, slider down the middle, down low double the
right center field. He's like, no one has even established
in And so this is the old school thinking of yachty.
And so we see Hanley growing back out Hanley like
(33:03):
takes a ground ball and like holding aside, and then
he calls time and training runs out and then he
runs off into dugout and he's gone, and Yaddy comes
up to me. He's like, you see, you see he
doesn't want to play the rest of the game, right,
But Yachty's a savage bro. I love that guy. Obviously,
Molina brothers are Molina brothers are obviously historic. They got
(33:23):
a movie coming out about him with lin Manuel Miranda.
But we didn't know obviously that he had a fracture
in his rip from that, right. I wasn't trying to
hurt Hanley. I was just trying to listen to Yatty
was telling me to do because like I remember what
I said he did to him when I shook him off.
But anyways, we I think Hanley tried to hit again
the next game and they called the quid something like
that the rest of the way. But anyways, Yachty was,
(33:44):
like I said, YACHTI was the og and the one
of the most smartest human beings I've been around for baseball.
But obviously Dodger fans hated me for that time because
I thought that was their year, right, obviously it's like it.
It seemed like it. But you guys forget, you know,
not to hate Clayton, because Clayton's a Hall of Famer,
but I mean Clayton was giving homers up to like
our left handed hitters, you know what I mean. He
(34:06):
was giving up holders like Matt And it was you know,
Matt Carpenter was still going and Matt carbon who had
like eleven homers at the time. Like so, like, there
was there's other things that led to, you know, losing
the series. It wasn't just Hanley, but I think as
a team morale, probably if I was on the other
side of like, dang, our best hitter is not gonna
you know, produce like how we're supposed to produce holding
(34:27):
his side. But then again, I played with Hanley. I
played with Hanley in Boston, and Hanley knows this, and
we he what was it traded over? Yes, he was
traded over, And so I was like, well, this is awkward.
So then we first team meeting goes. We got out
of the meeting and Hanley's like, hey, Papa, you hit
me on purpose. I was like, well, I wasn't gonna
let he hit the ball. But It wasn't purposely hitting
(34:48):
you up, but I was perfectly trying to get inside
and if you can get out of the way, it
was gonna hit you. And he goes, okay, I like that,
and I was I was like, so we're good. He's like,
we're good. But then playing with Hanley, Uh, I understood
what y'all he was talking about handy and hope you're
tougher nowadays. Handle. If a spider bit Hanley in the toenail,
he would uh probably take the game off. But Hanley,
(35:09):
I love you, but you were not the toughest.
Speaker 3 (35:12):

Listen, five or six listeners pulled me aside the voice
concerns over Matt Muney Smith's muscular, spider monkey like frame.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Yes, that's ridiculous. I'm not joke pounds, there's no muscle here.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
I try to say to a couple of the different listeners. Tranquilo,
Carnal Dranquilo, take it easy. Matt is fine, He's just
so incredibly sinewy, swollen. But because of his tank top
and his physique, a lot of people have been distracted
(39:58):
and his signature Kurt Russell big trouble in Little China
tank time that we can get behind. I am not kidding. Hey,
you raise your hand. The people that came up to
me in voice concerned about how swoll Matt was, Yes,
that guy did the schooner. Yeah, the guy with the
biggest beer of all time here at September sat room, Well,
I'm jealous eatery. A couple people they were like, hey,
(40:20):
is Matt okay? He looks pretty swoll, like he can't,
you know, like he's almost like and one guy.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
I'm trapped out.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
One guy said, I nodded my head at Matt, like, hey,
what's up, bruh, And he couldn't nod his head because
he was so swoll. He had to bend at the waist,
like what's up. So careful. Matt is swaller than the
bouncers that Joe Kelly fought when he was in.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
The minor leagues, the Quad Cities bouncers too.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
Swall voice of the Bolts, ladies and gentlemen, take your
pictures before he puts his sweatshirt back on. And I
gotta say, I was looking on the TV because we're
streaming on x and YouTube and Facebook and Facebook Sports
the Extra Old we are streaming on Facebook, and I
was looking up at the screen. You see him there
(41:06):
on your screen, right, And Matt was standing here next
to Joe Kelly.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Stop it.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
And there was two tank tops and it was like, Dude,
Matt's more swollen than Joe Kelly. Jesus Christ. Matt's flexing
out on Joe Kelly showing his TRICEP liked and I
was like, man, Matt, is that's a different You know.
Matt was more fleshy at k Rock, But now you
(41:32):
sinnery swoll like a spider monkey, like he's gonna jump
out of a tree in Thailand and attach himself to
your faith.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
What's gonna happen?
Speaker 4 (41:40):
All right, we'll be back. There was a lot of us.
There was concern. Eddie knows a couple of people can't.
Eddie's kind of sinning. We swollen himself, Eddie Jarvis, he's
got me by twenty five pounds. Well, Matt, I'm not
talking about I mean, look, you might fight in a featherweight,
but that.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Doesn't mean you're not swoll. Did he just hit me?
I think something just hit me.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
A couple guys were like, hey, is he okay? I
mean pretty smol And I was like, yeah, dude, it's crazy.
Look at his essay. We'll be right back. We'll talk
about some of the history of the Great Rancho Cucamonga.
Speaker 5 (42:17):

away more prizes starting immediately.

That's exactly right, Bob Schmidt. We are live at September's
tap Room and eatery. It is a beautiful space ample room.
If you think it's two packed, it's not. Even though
it's a smaller intimate setting, there is still plenty of
room for you to come and hang out. Everybody's sharing
their tables. If you see an open seat, go ahead
and grab it. We're a community here at Petro said money.
(43:13):
A big thank you to Joe Kelly. He joined us
straight out the gate. It was a fascinating conversation and
we cannot thank our friends at September enough. Right here
off the two ten freeway at Haven Avenue. We love
being out here in Rancho Cucamonga. They have been incredible
hosts and it's been a great start. Pee we're an
hour in and we got two hours to go.
Speaker 4 (43:31):
Look at my crunchy Groovens seventh grade teacher right there,
mister Warnikee. Oh notice sweet hair, the beautiful head of
hair and his beautiful wife Leila, right, mister Waakee and
mister Warnikee, the pride of Nebraska and a lot of
people Nebraska native born in Rosse, Nebraska, shared the flats
and a lot of and because of that, he's got
(43:51):
an incredible vertical leap. And a lot of people don't
know this, Like Fred Rogan says he can donkey, he's
a lot. Mister Warnikey could dunk. He's the dunk all
over us when we were like eleven on. Well, no, no,
you should see us. You should see as his cat.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
I think you just said he's got a forty inch verdi.
Speaker 4 (44:07):
He's an animal. Great to see him. He brought my
Stanford Achievement Test results.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Oh nice, from seventh grade.
Speaker 5 (44:15):
That's a little that's a little PTSD for me, the
old Stanford tests.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
I feeling great about my results. I'm wondering why it
didn't translate to my career as a student in life.
Either way, who wants to hear a little bit about
Rancho Cuckamonga. Now we've been out here to Rancho Cuckamonga before.
Right here in the foothills of the mountains. It's very beautiful,
(44:40):
but it's also very far for Matt and I to drive.
But with a crowd like this, to see the people
and the reception, we'll come out to Rancho Cook every
month for the rest of our lives.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Exactly right. True.
Speaker 4 (44:53):
The great Jack Benny, a popular character in the twentieth
century radio and TV world, started his radio show in
the thirties, went to television in nineteen fifty all the
way to nineteen sixty five. And it was Jack Benny,
a very snarky comedian who played the violin, and his
(45:16):
promotion of Cuckamonga through the brilliant mel blank train station impression,
that has caused the fame, the fortune, and the beauty
of this foothill enclave, Rancho Cucamonga.
Speaker 3 (45:31):
That's right, go.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
He would happen.
Speaker 3 (45:36):
Or anaheim Azusa and Cook.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
You see that something.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
It's don't get off at Coke Kamonga. We don't stop there.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
It is the pause between Cooke.
Speaker 4 (45:52):
Amonga that made this place famous, that put this city
on the map. Jack Benny's show allowed Ranch Kok to
gain so much power over their neighbors like September's tap
Room and Corky's, and they have grown with power here
in the beautiful in An Empire. Benny helped the Cook
so much that Rancho Cucamonga incorporated their neighboring sad weaker
(46:21):
cities punk Ass and Awanda and Altalloma. Think about it,
if mel Blank had said out the Looma.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
Or at.
Speaker 4 (46:38):
Towanda, we could be standing in at Awanda or Altalloma
right now.
Speaker 3 (46:44):
I'm naming a tract fine for anaheim Usa and Cook.
Speaker 4 (46:52):
But it was Cuckamonga that became strong because of Benny.
And it was able, like hungry hungry hippos to eat
eat Alta Loma and to eat at Awanda.
Speaker 3 (47:02):
Now who here is from Alta Loma?
Speaker 2 (47:05):
See very few matter your hands?
Speaker 3 (47:06):
Yeah, and you feel small? Who here is from at Tawanda? Again?
Speaker 4 (47:13):
Even swallowed up by Rancho Cucamonga. Now I did consider
earlier today doing like I do in Cerritos when I
visit the Pat Nixon statue. I visited the Pat Nixon
statue in Critos now three times.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
Right, local haunt you were thinking about checking out.
Speaker 4 (47:30):
I was thinking about going because it's been here for
forty eight years, to see the Jack Benny statue, which
is right outside of Lonemark Stadium where the Quakes play
with a Jack Benny statue, and the Quakes have a
game tonight. But a couple of you have realized a
couple of years ago that they moved him. They moved
(47:52):
him to City Hall, which is a ten minute drive
from here. That's way too far, two and a half
miles too far. Can't do that. I had to, you know,
hot damp i ate the hot dog quite quickly. It's
down Civic Center Drive. Who here has seen the Jack
Benny statue? All right, Okay, I've tried to teach you
people something about the history to help you people. You know,
you guys want to walk around like idiots, not know
(48:14):
anything about your area. Fine, it's wonderful to be here
at Septembers. And I don't know if September's or Corki's
or the two Dental offices.
Speaker 3 (48:26):
Or the the U.
Speaker 4 (48:28):
The Claw Place, there's a there's like an anime Claw
place where it's all games and you can like at.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
The chunk to get the prizes that never know some
of those.
Speaker 4 (48:37):
Things would be here if it wasn't for Jack Benny Fair,
And I just wanted to make that point moving forward
and acknowledge Jack Benny's existence is why Rancho Kuckamonga is
what it is.
Speaker 3 (48:51):
Do you know where the owner of Septembers is from?
Speaker 2 (48:54):
I'm gonna go with that, Awanda.
Speaker 3 (48:55):
That's very.
Speaker 4 (49:04):
