(01:09):
from Boston to Cincinnati to Tampa on this final extended
nine game East Coast slash Midwest, but still Eastern time

Speaker 3 (01:19):
They will be on the road for quite some time,
but you will have a lot of flex alerts on
the Petros and Money Show, and we will keep you
abreast to the schedule.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Schollert.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
And not only is it a day for flexing, but
it is also as we honker down for only two
hours of great sports talk a Frogman Friday. What would
an ocean be Krogman without a monster Frogman lurking in
the dark Frogmen, it would be like sleep Frogmen without
(02:00):
frog Man. The Petroson Money Show is the monster lurking
in the dark of them, the potman, apathy and monotony,
twisting things into inspiration frog Men content. We also honor
the great Mike Nelson on a frog Man Friday and
(02:21):
those that protect us from the ocean. We're talking about
the coast Guard, we're talking about lifeguards, talking about the
US Navy, and we're talking about underwater demolition aka frogmen.
One of the greatest underwater demolition men of all time,
Lloyd Bridges Mike Nelson in seahard.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
This time, I couldn't take Pete topside, not to let
job was done. Instead, I gave him some of my
hair and prayed that it would stall off the effects
of oxygen poisoning for a few minutes least. I don't
know how if Pete managed to keep going, but he
did get every excuse in the world to quit and
save his life, and he stayed on a job.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
Ho a lot of men.
Speaker 7 (03:04):
Todd lights thirteen to five. What are you nuts? We
still gotta take that frdom man.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
You know what that's like these days?
Speaker 7 (03:13):
You got the Navy everywhere, you got frogmen, you got
the EC twos with the satellite tracking, you got the
bell two nine as salt choppers up the ass. We're
losing one out of every nine loads. That's no dunk
walk anymore. Let me tell you, forget about money. What
do you suggest that's reasonable.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
What's reasonable is that fist fighting pantone is in Boston
at Fenway Pack for some fist fighting Showerhead, good times
tonight in Boston and Dita Roul gonna play the organ rock.
(03:55):
I don't need the sea land.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
Oh you know you do you do?
Speaker 9 (04:19):
You do?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
You?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Dog do you.
Speaker 10 (04:25):
Dos dos.
Speaker 9 (04:28):
O?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
You you do?
Speaker 6 (04:30):
You You're Dodger's gonna have to bring some energy with
the pantone in the house tonight, because Dodgers Boston is
no joke.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
But we have to deal with our own demons, and
our own is yeah, energy.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Energy, energ.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
We have to exercise our own demons and read our
demons well, we just have to let we have to
put the fact that Sheila E was live at the
Burbank marry out away, Stacy Q. Sorry either way, that's
not what I read.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
That's what it was.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
It's time to embrace hopeful music and.
Speaker 9 (05:24):
Now hopeful music at noon, hopeful music at noon, and
it is.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
A hopeful time. On the precipice of the trade deadline,
the Dodgers will be on a long road trip, and
that road trip might tell the tale of our demeanor
and mood going into the final stretch of the dog
days of summer of the baseball season and approaching the
(05:59):
football season. NFL and College.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Have a football game in six days, and so do
the Chargers. That's what I mean. That Charger game is
in six days right here on six days, the month
of July.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Everybody's looking forward to it. Football season is a lot
of fun in America. We love to watch the guys
in plastic outfits bunking into each other, but we have
a responsibility to carry the Dodgers deep and through the
fall and basically almost right to the cusp of the
(06:42):
winter months. And there is a lot of hope in
the city to see you DoD with a lot of
early shows in the next few days that we could
get everything on the right track here as the trade
deadline approaches, I know you're excited about it.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Well, it is our last one, as you mentioned yesterday,
like this is it. So for the super Flexes and
the people that want to, you know, have us ride
shotgun with them on your nightmare of a commute afternoons
between three and seven pm. Yeah, next week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
(07:24):
Friday all super flex Well, Friday you get a half
hour of regular time. It'll be one to three thirty
and then Thursday will be a two to four show.
So that's it. Though after that we're good road trips
the farthest east. Actually we lied. There is a trip
to Pittsburgh in Baltimore in September.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Okay, just a full on blatant line.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, that was a lie. That's Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Friday
bing bang boom, and that's gonna be even worse. The
Pittsburgh Tuesday Wednesday are gonna be one to two thirty
show and Thursday one to thirty shows.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
And what I just said is completely totally inaccurate.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I thought that was it. Nope, go to Candid Yard.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
You mentioned it yesterday, Matt one of the great iconic.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Parks oriol Face.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah, we gotta least see that oriole face.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Now that's that's gonna get us on Friday. But that's it.
So that week, the week of Labor Day, September second, third, fourth, fifth,
that is the uh yeah, so okay, scratch everything I said.
There will be one woman at least the majority of
them or West Coast.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
This has been scheduled talk on the Petros and Money
Show on seventy LA Sports. If you don't know what
the schedule is, how do you know schedule? I do
want to give just a small example of our Bostonian
counterparts and how hard core they are. And if you
(08:49):
think that we can just come on here and be
lackadaisical and do Fred and Rodney logo talk or talk
about how Fred got out at fifty four again and
just fart around and do our normal thing, even though
this isn't our time slot. You're sadly mistaken, because Boston
(09:11):
is a real thing, and they take their sports seriously.
They are joyless, absolutely joyless people who will talk to
you for hours on end about Tom Brady deflating the football,
as if you care or it's still a relevant topic.
They'll wear their Roger Goodell clown nosed T shirt, and
(09:32):
even though you might not like Goodell that much, it
makes you feel like, maybe he's not that bad of
a guy, because look at this douche and this T shirt.
The Boston people have a real sporting edge. We know
this to be true if you've ever, like Matt has been,
and even me been to the TD Garden in Boston
(09:54):
Garden formerly known as the TD Bank North Garden. You
see when the lights go up, just like a Springsteen concert,
a sea of white arms like a Notre Dame game,
waving their white flesh, their bingo wings back and forth,
screaming beat l A and things of that nature. Uh,
(10:15):
these are people that don't take paternity leave.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Why do you think I summer in Nantucket? You think
that was handed to me?
Speaker 11 (10:20):
Your ass hat because I work my ass off and
I prioritize work.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
And that's important to me. It's important to my family.
Speaker 11 (10:26):
I work my ass off to get there, and I
didn't spent two weeks going Google gotga and if you
have to, if someone's hurt, do it.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
But don't put your crap on me either.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Now you think I summer in Nantucket because I don't
prioritize work, Well, it's because I do.
Speaker 12 (10:44):
Okay, you summarizing parenting is going Google.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Gaga is exactly.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
It's again, it's a joke.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Early.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Do you understand it's kind of a joke.
Speaker 12 (10:52):
How many I like dealing with you, felder? How many
two year old tantrums I've had to deal with over
the past week.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
I had to clean poop off.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
The wall yesterday. I don't goo googaga.
Speaker 12 (11:00):
That tells you that all you handle is the nice part.
You have someone else to do it for you, which
is great. Good for you. You talk about me that
I go to work for for a whiny complaint. I
go to work at seven thirty in the morning. Every
day I get home it's chicks thirty. I know you're
not a math guy. I know you rely on masks
do the math math. How many hours is that?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I don't remember the hours.
Speaker 11 (11:19):
You said, Hey Michael, Hey, Michael, Michael, Michael, you're talking
to the wrong guy.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
You're talking to the wrong guy. For ten years, I've
had two full time jobs. I still do. When I'm
done here, I go to another job.
Speaker 12 (11:29):
Foker, you talk about your job as if you're going
to cure cancer.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
You just talk about your job like your current cancer.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
That so you're cre and cancer writing just because I'm
on here speaking.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
That is Boston sports. So that's what you're up again.
So if you think'll just wearing Harley, Yeah, if you
think just wearing your jersey, Mookie bats, that's busting at
the buttons because your gut looks like you have a
pillow under there, and you're gonna drink a mishell in
front of all the Bostonian people and do your pantone chance.
(12:04):
Yeah you ain't. This ain't like going to the Bay
Area guys. Okay, these people are serious. They're serious about sports,
and they prioritize their.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Work, as evidenced by that last conversation.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Don't mess with these people, all right, I mean, that's
what I'm trying to say. This is a very important
pivotal moment in the Dodger season. And if people underestimate
the city of Boston and the joyless way that they
approached things that they're supposed to enjoy and be a pastime,
then you're going to be trampled under the feet of
(12:36):
people like Ben Affleck and Bill Simmons and real Bostonians
waving their dunkin Donuts talking about goodwill hunting and acting
like they're so much better than us because they endured
poor Bill Buckner not being able to bend over and
pick up a ground ball because his back was broken
(12:57):
in the World Series. Tired of these people. Wasn't here,
It wasn't and he died a lonely and sad man
in Boise, Idaho. And that's the nature of these people.
They prioritize their work. So if you think you're just
gonna walk around and act like it's no big deal
and go through things nonchalantly. This weekend as the Dodgers
(13:18):
take on the Red Sox, you have got another thing coming.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Do they clean up the roadways if they see discarded
items million about, well, I believe is it a clean neighborhood?
Is it a or where you place for the traffic
could be.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Uh, let's just say there was a Dodger banner out
on the one tent right, not one. I don't care
how much fenting all you're on. Nobody's ratopping to pick
that thing up. Nobody's stopping to pick that thing up.
They know a certain death.
Speaker 13 (13:50):
Now we have our coffee on.
Speaker 10 (13:52):
We're driving on McGrath Highway in some of the and
I noticed a couple of cars swinging like moving to
the right and seen something in the street.
Speaker 13 (14:01):
And he's like, Louis, what is that?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Real quick? No one would ever do this on the
one tan or the one on one or the tanner.
No one would do highway though in Boston, where where
where our country was born, Yeah, they'll do it.
Speaker 10 (14:16):
And he's like, Louis, what is that? What is I'm like,
I don't know what is it? So I ran across
the highway to grab it.
Speaker 13 (14:24):
We brought it in the car.
Speaker 10 (14:25):
We had no idea what it was. Was wrapped up
in a brown paper bag. First thing, I said, this
belongs to the Red Sox. This is the Fenway Park. Yeah,
like how do we have this?
Speaker 13 (14:38):
Like nobody made this? This belongs to the park.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I'm thinking, wait a minute, wait a minute again, somebody
did make it.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
It didn't just come from the sky. It was not
dropped from the sky as a natural occurrence.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
It might have been officially ordered by the Boston Red Sox,
but that did not mean that it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Actually, you know, nobody made this.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Somebody made it.
Speaker 13 (15:01):
Like, how do we have this? Like, nobody made this.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
This belongs how do we have this? You just described
you pulled over on the freeway and like an idiot,
ran into draffic.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Thinking it was like some sort of majestic treasure in
a brown paperback.
Speaker 13 (15:17):
Like, how do we have this?
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Like?
Speaker 10 (15:19):
Nobody made this? This belongs to the park. I'm thinking
that they hang it off the green Monster. You know,
we want to give it back to them because it
belongs to them and it doesn't belong to us. But
in reciprocation we would like, you know, maybe to go
to a nice playoff game or we.
Speaker 13 (15:36):
Were looking for something. We just don't want to hand
it over to them, right, I mean, we need to
negotiate here. We want to we're looking for like you know,
we're working too.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yeah wait wait, wait, whose idea was it to negotiate
through the local news.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I think Louis.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Okay, I'm gonna go with Louis.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
These guys that ran across three lanes, he's the guy
that takes action.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
We're not just going to hand it over.
Speaker 10 (16:00):
I mean, we need to negotiate here. We want to
we're looking for like you know, we're working too.
Speaker 14 (16:06):
Yeah, I mean, my man had a run across three
lanes traffic.
Speaker 13 (16:10):
We know that that's the original one.
Speaker 14 (16:12):
We were told there was only one May.
Speaker 13 (16:14):
Yeah, we were told there was only one man at
that point. That tells us.
Speaker 14 (16:17):
But then they told us they had a duplicate. So
if they do try to put a duplicate up, you
best believe we're gonna show up and say we have
the right one. That's not the that's not the original.
Speaker 10 (16:28):
So we're hoping that they don't make one and they
and they put the right one up.
Speaker 14 (16:31):
We're hoping they do the right thing. No, we did
the right thing. We could have kept there. We could
have put it on eBay, we could have you know,
we got connections where we could have reached out to
other sources.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
We cons where we could have reached out for the
twenty eighteen American League East Champion banner. We've got connections.
We could have reached out to other sources.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
You're gonna give it to the Steinbrenners. Who would you
give it to?
Speaker 14 (16:56):
We could have kept there, We could have put it
on eBay. We you know, we got connections where we
could have reached out to other sources.
Speaker 13 (17:05):
They supporters of the Red Sox and we want to
see them win.
Speaker 10 (17:08):
And we want this banda to go back on Lansdowne
Street or wherever it belongs.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
But wherever it belongs landsdown on the green Monts. So
the interesting thing that I just realized is there. I
always thought it was two guys. It's three because there's
the third guy in the background that's doing like the
Boston number one.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
No, I think that's the b Roll, Matt, that's the
b Roll. They have an interview and then they also
have b roll. It's quieter behind them of them holding
up the banner like hey it is, but.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
They only feel like I've heard I feel like there's
three voices watching it.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
I remember watching it all over and over again, and
it's just those two guys. But there is the dog.
Very early, they have a happy dog in the background. Yeah,
this tech says good grief. I hate the effing idiots
in Boston, the fans, the sports talk a holes, and
the effing stupid ass teams. I wish we could shoot
them all into outer space. Well that would be very
(18:05):
much fun.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
No, it seems like just because you cheer for a
different team and you have like a complete dumbass, Well,
why we should not be launched into outer space. We
should be a guy quickly.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
We should be able to enjoy how weird they are, right,
I mean the existence of these other.
Speaker 10 (18:24):
Coff We're big supporters of the Red Sox and we want
to see them win, and we want this banda to
go back on Lansdowne Street or wherever.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
If you're there with pantone, take a picture of that banner.
I wonder what happened. Oh, I do remember what happened.
They had to give it back, and I don't think
they got anything out of it. I think if they
were admonished in one way or the other. But that
is the type of fans we are up against. Matt.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I think they've got like a high five, you know,
they're like, hey, high five, thanks guys, appreciate it. Good
looking out And then They're like, well, see you later,
and they were like, wait a minute, we just gave
him this bag. We thought we was gonna get World
Series about.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
The playoffs tickets? Hey, Pee just switched over from ninety
eight point five the Sports Hub and Felger sounded exactly
like that today, HELLEL.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Do you think that's somewhere Nantucket? You think that was
handed to me your ass hat?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
We don't uh, we don't make this stuff up nice.
I mean, the Mighty Mighty boss Tones and Aerosmith are cool,
but they are few and far between. Most Bostonians are
just insufferable to be around, like almost completely insufferable.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
It is one guy has got I know, I've found
the interview that we were talking about. They've got the uh,
the the one dude has the flat top with the
gold chain and like a stack of cash T shirt
and the dude who's really fentaneled out, he's in a
plaid button down.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
They might as well be nice kind of look, they
might as well be Ben Affleck and Jeremy Renner from
the town. That's really it is.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Look it is tattoo guys.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
You hose wouldn't last a week on WBZ ninety eight
to five the Sports Hub the sixteen chapel of Sports Banter.
You dildos. I think the money he asked four was outrageous.
Twelve and four to twenty is outrageous. That's my trop money.
You dildos are a pre k finger painting exhibit where
all the parents only show because they're all drunk and
(20:34):
sneaking in flasks.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
The comments below this video. By the way, I think
the Red Sox gave him a half a pack of
SIGs and a percosee.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Yeah, it seems. I mean, look, it's like when it
takes one to know one. It's like when the Anna
Nicole Smith show debuted and I was like, that woman's
on pills. You could just tell this says, hey, Pete,
do you think Pantone in Boston will be there with something?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Of course they will. That's the point of traveling. If
you can't take then algonos with you. All right, lays,
I am sorry, but we are out of rooms, taught.
I had reserved twenty, but they only have nineteen.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
You must stay in my room.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
You're going to to stay with me.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Look at this. The old piece just madd He didn't
get invited to the Pantone sweep because he didn't have
ginormous boobs. Yes, I wish I had huge boobs. We'll
return with the top story of the day and the
connections to sell the banner to someone else.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Connections. We got sources, We got connections.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Yeah, if we don't sell the banner at the Fenway Park,
we can always turn and sell it to Fenway Field.
Speaker 13 (21:48):
We could have kept it.
Speaker 14 (21:49):
We could have put it on eBay, we could have
you know, we got connections where we could have reached
out to other sources.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Oh my god, there's a second news There's a second
news channel that wanted in on this pe. There's a
second interview.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
With well Matt, I mean you know that Boston's not
a one horse town. You know they got more than
one news source out there, like we mean that and
being like, hey, we got to get in on this. Guys,
what are we doing here? Is Paul Boyer with those
two drug addicts? We better send hal fishman. This text says,
(22:26):
p are we really in a place to talk to
us about the fent laced fans in Boston when ninety
nine point nine of our fan base is drunk? One
hundred and fifty pounds overweight, carrying three to five leaders
of Mitchelana Juice in their gut daily. That's a fair point, sir.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Yes, yes we are, but I feel like we are. Yeah,
yes we are.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Top Story of the day coming up next, Pet to
somebody on AMPI seventy LA Sports, you're home of the
Dodgers in Boston tonight and we're not like them. They
not like us.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer. Make AM five seventy or your favorite
AM five seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on the
iHeartRadio app using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Road Trip all summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Welcome back. It's Petrosen Money on a Frogman Friday. We're
on early today because we are off early today, Dodgers
are in Boston, and we've been discussing the differences between
us and the Boston types for the first segment of
the show through the memories of a twenty eighteen story
(23:40):
about a Red Sox banner that was allegedly found on
the street by two nair duel Bostonian fentanyl soufie types.
That being said, it's time for the top story of
the NCT top story of the day.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Well, speaking of that, pe, I guess it's a little
bit of a corrections and retractions on me. Who would
have possibly seen that interview and decided we got to
get our hooks into these two and make sure we
try to own it as well.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Big story.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Instead, w pri I Channel twelve News kind of took on.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
We don't even know what the local radio stations did. No,
we're just going on a round table inside the locker
room type of thing with those guys.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Michayla McDonald said, I don't like the cut of their jib.
I don't like the way this thing is smelling, and
she decided to do a little something here on eyewitness
news as a follow up to the claims made by
Lou and his fentanyl laced pal.
Speaker 14 (24:40):
I mean my man had run across three lanes traffic.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
So that was the claim, right Danielle and Patrick.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
The banner has been returned to the Red Sox, and
while they haven't needed it yet, there are no questions
about how the men found the banner, and three friends
from Malden say they found the banner on McGrath Highway
in Summerville on Monday after it apparently fallen off a truck,
and while they initially asked for a reward or tickets
to return the banner, the Red Sox organization confirms the
men have returned the banner and did not get anything
(25:10):
in return. According to Boston twenty five News, the owner
of the company that made the Red Sox banner said
he is filing a police report. Flag Graphics owner Tony
Lafuente didn't fall off.
Speaker 14 (25:21):
A truck, just fall off a truck across three Lanesfy.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Indeed, the Flag Graphics manager. What did you have to
say there, Mikayla quote.
Speaker 8 (25:33):
All I know is that the banner was on my
truck yesterday. Whether it fell off my truck or walked away,
I don't know. It's up to police to figure out.
And while a Red Sox spokesperson had initially said that
a ban that the banner had fallen off a truck,
they clarified yesterday that they could not confirm how the
banner was lost. Now the Red Sox will have another
chance to clinch the division tonight. They're playing the Yankees
(25:54):
in New York.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
To say something fell off a truck is a very
East Coast kind.
Speaker 14 (26:00):
Of I mean my man had to run across three lanes.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
It's sort of a euphanism for for for staft Yeah,
for mob mob faft.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Can't you get that TV fell off a truck.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Oh that's a nice fur that your wife got on. Yeah,
fell off a truck.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
It fell off the back of a truckes. How about
the quote though starting off with all I know is right?
All I know is it was Although maybe these these
two idiots are so stupid that they thought, oh, that's
what happens these guys get all this great stuff because
it falls off a truck. So we'll just say that's
(26:37):
what happened to us. It just fell off a truck,
and now we got it.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Well, I'd like to see where those guys are now
six years later, fel guess, Oh, come on, Matt.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Either having been hit by a car for crossing lanes
to pick up stuff off the highway, or dude, in
their assumption you.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Think they're they're bent over in that weird fetanyl pose
where you're like contorted could be but you're out on
your feet.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
They're fetnl zombies. Well, thank you, good follow up. Yes
for the follow up.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
There.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Top story of the dayp As David Vesse will join
us next hour. Made my way over to the Mlbtrade
Rumors dot Com wanted to see what the action was.
The Mets already made a move. The Phillies have already
made a move. What does that tell me that these
two organizations both firmly in the playoff as it stands
(27:36):
right now, when as the leader the Mets of the
NL East the Phillies, as the leading wild card team
in the NLES, look like locks to make the postseason,
they're trading minor leaguers away for rentals, guys whose contracts
will be up at the end of the season. It
tells me they're not scared of the Dodgers. That the
injuries to the rotation, no Snell, no Sasaki. How long
can Kershaw keep it up? Do you really think glass
now is going to be out there from mid July
(27:58):
through the end of October.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
It tells you they are not as scared.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
They are not as scared that they are happy to
trade young prospects for old veteran reliever rentals. Is Otani
going to be able to throw six innings in the playoffs?
No setbacks? I think we've all seen the Blake Snell
script I assume he'll be fine. He typically misses one
half of every season. It's just a question of which half.
(28:25):
For the Dodgers looks like it was the first half
and they're still in first place, so that works out. Okay,
Snell should be fine. The bullpen, though a legitimate disaster.
Sixteen blown saves Tanner Scott Leeds all of baseball was
seven bullpennyra is twelfth in the National League. The four
hundred and thirty nine hits they've allowed as the most
by twenty two in all of baseball, and they've given
up fifty eight home runs the bullpen. The Rockies play
(28:49):
at cors Field. They're potentially the worst team in the
history of baseball. Fifty eight the bullpen. Their bullpen is
give up giving up fifty seven. That is how bad
this is. They have a left fielder who can't hit,
and he's been in eighty nine games. It's so bad
that he's not even listed on the baseball stat sheets.
(29:10):
It cuts off after one hundred and fiftieth. Place are
you talking about Conforto. Confordo is worse than one hundred
and fiftieth in every major category, average, home runs, RBI,
and ops. It just says one fifty plus under his
stat Their former MVP is having the worst season of
his career. Mookie's OPS is a one hundred and forty third,
(29:32):
his average is one hundred and thirty third, His home
runs are one hundred and thirteenth, his ribi's are eighty second.
And their solution to that, why don't you hit leadoff?
See if that'll help. Last year's NLCS MVP is one
hundred and fiftieth and average one hundred and thirteenth in
homers one hundred and six then RBI and one hundred
and forty six the ops. They need a left fielder,
(29:54):
they need bullpen arms. They need to figure out what
the hell to do with Dalton Rushing because this has
been an abject failure. The guy was not swinging missing
the minors this year at Triple A three to zero
eight average, twenty nine k's and one hundred and thirty
two at bats. That's a twenty one percent strikeout. They're
all pressing to get on base for Otani exactly.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
That's why they had to put Mookie at the leadoff.
Take the pressure off.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Hey, Mookie hit lead off, really hit.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Leadof so no one feels bad when you pop out
on the first pitch and then Otani comes up and
the bases are empty. We don't blame the bottom of
the lineup.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
He mashes a homer last year. By the way, Dalton
Rushing at triple a twenty percent k rate here in LA.
And yes, it's the big leagues and pitching is going
to be a lot better. But a forty percent strikeout
rate thirty four strikeouts and eighty two played appearances, and
that's gonna be the guy that's gonna be a centerpiece
of your trade for one of these big blue chip players.
(30:47):
Ain't gonna happen. General manager is not going to bring
a guy that got called up and is striking out
at a forty one percent clip. I mean, Will Smith
getting days off is already crazy because he's the most
consistent hitter in baseball, and you can't d h him
on his days off because Otani's out there. So now
you've got Rushing, who wants to probably be playing a
(31:08):
hell of a lot more than the twenty seven games
he's shown up in a lot of those just pinch
hit games. By the way, you get Will's bat out
of the lineup instead of at the DH and you're
put in and near you're putting in a near guaranteed out.
It is not helping the team. It is crushing Dalton
Rushing's trade value. And you can't be calling up Cleveland
(31:28):
making Dalton Rushing the centerpiece of his Stephen Quan package,
who the Padres are now reportedly hot after. So they're
not even afraid of the Dodgers and they're in the
same damn division. God'd be a perfect fit for the
Dodgers under team control a couple more seasons, minuscule k rate,
thirty five strikeouts in four hundred and twenty four at bats,
a three time Gold Glover, eight home runs, thirty five Ribbies.
(31:48):
He is not coming here for Dalton Rushing because you
called the guy up when he had been playing some
outfield and first base in the minors, and all you've
done is made him Will Smith's backup and he's playing
once a week and he can't hit. He ain't getting
you Durand from the Twins or Griffin Jacks, for that matter.
The Yankees just sent their number eight prospect for a
(32:09):
former modern day Monarch third baseman of the Rockies, Ryan McMahon,
for the Dodgers. That would be like a River Ryan
that they would have to trade to get like the
third or fourth best third base prospect on the trade market.
So we'll ask Dave Vassay about it, but we're gonna
get a pretty darn good idea of what this front
office thinks about this team's chance this year by way
(32:31):
of who they're gonna go out and get and what
they're gonna have to give up to get it. They
need a bullpen arm probably two. They absolutely need a
left fielder. So are they willing to part with one
of their top three prospects if that's what it's gonna cost.
Vassay said yesterday that those guys are untouchables. I hear
Hope to Paula and Alex Freeland. Alex Freeland, Oh, I
(32:54):
love that guy. Untouchable. But those two guys to paul
In's and Hope are twenty years old. When are they coming?
Shohy and Will Smith are thirty mookies thirty two, Freddy's
thirty five. The Dodgers get a free pass because they
won the World Series last year, team is not repeated
as World Series champs since the Yankees did it three
(33:15):
consecutive times in ninety eight, ninety nine to two thousand.
It's hard to do. So are they willing to dip
into the I don't know, top five prospect pool to
get what they want or is it going to be
kind of like what they did last year and hope
that Munsey gets out there and things are fine. Kik
gets back and he's fine off the bench, and like
(33:36):
last year when they traded for Michael Kopek who had
a four to seven to four ERA and Tommy Edman
who hadn't played all season, it worked out and they
didn't have to gut the top of their prospect list
farm system.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
It did work out, much to our surprise. They you know,
they were down to the Padres and they were going
back and forth.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
It was ugly down two to one with a bullpen
game tap. It did not look good.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
They were fighting with the Padre manager, who you have
been very very vocal about a little chubbing.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
He runs his mouth that Mike Shildt got hey practice
what you appreci their shilt? You pair shit weirdo.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
You see there it goes again like that's very disrespectful.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
I mean it is there. It is incredibly dis unbelievable,
the disrespect. Uh we talked about maybe Duran's not even
gonna leave La, He'll just stay here with the Twins. Well,
the Padres are chasing Duran as well, and we know
they love to make moves and they don't give a
rip about their minor league prospects. They traded like two
all stars to Washington that we're in the All Star
Game this year for that Soto trade. So with the
(34:41):
Dodgers beat up, with the bullpen a mess, they're not hitting,
will they mortgage some of the future to get some
of this action right now? Crucial stretch of games, but
as crucial as the games on the field are. That
game of poker from Friedman, how he wants to play,
this is the one that we'll be keeping our eye on.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Well, I mean, he's the guy that brought in your
guy Canfordo. So usually if it's a Freedman guy and
a Freedman move, they are a little bit less apt
to hit the eject button.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Earned to say sorry, are bad, we.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Made a mistake. Right. They hung on to Chris Taylor
and that big and that big contract because of skin,
that big rat.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Fair point, you know, million, fifteen million, Yeah, you're not
gonna want to move on that so quick.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Huh. If I had a beautiful long hand, I would uh.
I would write this down and pin it up on
Lansdown Street. That's how impactful I think your words are.
It's going to be very interesting ten days here.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
I had to run across three lanes.
Speaker 14 (35:55):
I mean my man had to run across three lanes traffic.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
This says, I love Matt's hypotheticals, Conford to his cheeks
and he needs to go.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
How there fiftieth plus, he's been in eighty nine games.
It's not like he's played in twenty. This says nine games.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Hey, Pee, I don't often agree with money, but I'll
be damned if he can't make a mountain out of
great sports talk with a mowhel of anything with the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Hey, we got to do this show every day.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Hey, what if? What if Conforno starts hitting two and four?
Let's say he's.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Starts break well, Let's okay, let's say he starts hitting.
Now what do we do.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Let's say outman comes back to his Rookie of the
year level.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
But when we do next game, I got six games.
My man hadn't run across three lanes right fell off
a truck. Well Man was like, hey, wo loo, what
is that? When is that over there?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
That when the fentanyl people lean over? Apparently it's called
the fent fold.
Speaker 14 (37:02):
I mean, my man had a run across three lanes
traffic the fentyfold.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Geez.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
And now that we heard the follow up about how
they're like, yeah, we're calling the cops. These guys stole this.
It's so great listening to them. Can coc this was
she and car swerve on away of this, things like
what is that?
Speaker 4 (37:20):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (37:21):
When the reporters leave this, guys're like, this is gonna
be great. Guys that we're really on teck. We did it.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
We did it. We told the cops we found zut
didn't it.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
We're good. Not since the town and the Babe Ruth
trade have the Red Sox been robbed so blatantly. Okay,
we'll be back with a little bit of reaction. We
have a fun fact and a word and number and
then uh David Vassey live from Boston, Massachusetts.

we do have some text USA text.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
Us a fine brought to you by your so called
Toyota dealers.
Speaker 7 (39:17):
We make it easy.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Hey, p it's my birthday. Can you please do a
Czar of Booze segment? Any booze dealer's choice, one of

That's always fun. Maybe as the summer goes on, as
the days get more dogged, but with the Dodgers in Boston,
today is not that day. We even had a follow
up to that banner story from six years. Yeah, six years,
(39:44):
seven year old story and we finally found the follow up.
I'm here.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Let this stand. They might have got the exclusive, but
we're getting a piece of this action.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
You know, there's a there's a big concession workers strike
for the Dodger's Red Sox series today, so people might
not be able to get their chowder. Yeah, landsdown Street,
no lobster roll, no chowder, and the bowl, the bread
bowl that you can't get at Fisherman's Wharf anymore because
Fisherman's Wharf is closed and boxed out with the fentyfold.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
I'm looking at it Local twenty six striking against air
Mark bad on strike.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
If I hear Mad at the intro complaining about Fred
pulling the ripcord at five at the fifty four mark,
for the million time, I will go full podcast mode
and skip the first five minutes. It's a great life hack,
Hey have you, buddy. And it's not just matth that
complains about it. We all do. Ronnie, Ronnie has to
add a break. Kate's looks at it and says, I
(40:56):
hope Ronnie adds a break. This involved all of us, dude.
It affects all of us, That's all I'm saying. And
you're right. Today we did not do it, Matt.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
And I'd like to point out you let these guys
get away with it time and time again. They're just
gonna keep doing it.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
They're thinking, it's gonna think it's okay.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
It's our duty as Americans to voice our concerns and
to push back in the face of injustice. And that's
an injustice. Signing off and fifty three is an injustice.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
You're right, and Fred seems to care about as much
as somebody who's in the fenty fold on the corner,
also also known as the smack back. All right, I
make both of them yesterday, Matt somebody on the text,
Doso talked about the striking similarities to them from the
(41:46):
Starbucks union speech that we had from Downtown Disney yesterday.
Speaker 15 (41:51):
We your green Apron partners are the face of the Starbucks.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Experience and one of the greatest poems ever read on screen,
Tom cruising Cocktail.
Speaker 16 (42:08):
I see America drinking the fabulous cocktails I make. America
is getting stinking on something I stir or shake.
Speaker 17 (42:19):
Yeah, the sex on the beach, the snots made from peach,
the the Alabama.
Speaker 16 (42:29):
I make things with juice and froth, the pink squirrel,
the three toad slaw. Why make drinks so sweet and snazze?
The iced tea, the Kamakazi.
Speaker 17 (42:41):
Here comes man, Here come the orgasm spasm.
Speaker 16 (42:54):
The Singapore Sling, the dggling America.
Speaker 15 (42:58):
You're just devoted to every flavor I've got.
Speaker 16 (43:05):
If you want to get loaded, why don't you just shot?
Speaker 2 (43:13):
The riff? Is the bow on the present?
Speaker 3 (43:17):
But is that better than complex frappuccino?
Speaker 15 (43:22):
And while you're adding complicated new frappuccinos to the menu,
you're fighting understuffing shifts that make.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
It impossible to get.
Speaker 15 (43:33):
Our drinks out within your newly declared.
Speaker 3 (43:37):
Four minute rule. I mean, isn't a wait wait, you
know it just occurred to me. Man, isn't that the
difference between the greatness of the eighties and the horrible
time we live in now? Tom Cruise is excited that
there are people that want complex drinks. He's written a poem.
He's standing on the bar. He enjoys the fact that
(43:58):
there's business at the bar that Starbucks people don't feel
the same way at all. They're complaining.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
I do think, though, perhaps that is art versus life.
Speaker 3 (44:08):
You know what, I get this contract?
Speaker 2 (44:12):
No, what does that mean? Let's get this contract known.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
I think he said get this contract. No, I think
it's done.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Do you think it's done? He just says it in
a weird way.
Speaker 3 (44:25):
I just think he said it in a weird Wayoo.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
Like you said she knew Dune.
Speaker 3 (44:31):
I'm just saying, and while.
Speaker 15 (44:32):
You're adding complicated new frappuccinos to the menu, we're fighting
through understuffing ships.
Speaker 3 (44:40):
Right. Bruce doesn't guaranable to get or drinks out. Bruce
doesn't There's four hundred people at the barn.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
He's got a bunch of you want to pull his
pants off.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
He's got he's got four hundred people at the bar
and it's just him and that freaking.
Speaker 2 (44:53):
Brit This poor guy has got a fat lady with
three kids that wants four red Uni corn FRAPs. In formata.
Speaker 9 (45:02):
I make drinks so sweet and snazzy, nice.
Speaker 16 (45:05):
Tea, the comic con, the orgasm, the death spas, the
Singapore Sling, the Dingaling.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
See she wants his Dingaling.
Speaker 15 (45:27):
And while you're adding complicated new frappuccino, you we're fighting
through understeffing shifts.
Speaker 3 (45:35):
That make it impossible to get our drink so.
Speaker 15 (45:38):
Within your newly declared four minute rule.
Speaker 3 (45:46):
M I just said, you know it's it's in the eighties.
In that Tom Cruise movie, those people were happy to
serve everybody. That's all I'm saying. No, that's fair in
that movie. And I don't know if he and I
would have loved to be at the bar when he
was doing a poem for the baby. Could you imagine
you're just at the bar, like trying to drink off
your day and your ex wife just you know, like whatever,
(46:06):
and like Cruiz gets up there on the bar and
like starts talking about how much he loves Lizzie Shoe
and like, wouldn't you be pissed?
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Yes, if I were, even if I were a regular,
I'd still be like, yea, I'm trying to get away
from it, you know. So I'm here, so I'm pumping flanagan.
Speaker 3 (46:25):
Yeah, from trying to fuel up. So I here for
some whiskey. He's an Aussie. My bad, I'm sorry, that's correction.
All right, we'll be right back with the word number.
Fun fact. We'll talk to David Vase. We'll have an
Alabama Slamma.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
Velvet Hamma. I think he missed. I don't think he
delivers one line quite iced tea.
Speaker 3 (46:45):
Yeah, it's not, he says, the iced tea. It's the
long islandized tea.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
Yeah. But also the way he says like the sloth
that's supposed to rhyme with froth. He Well, I mean
he's off on the synca pation or whatever you would
call it.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
Well, I mean, what are you it's a bar Matt.
I mean I thought the performance was any great given
the context of the moment. Guy's got a lot of
drinks to make. No, he's a bartender. He's got a
lot of drinks to make. I don't think you understand
that guy died when he killed himself in that movie
that Australia. He never did another movie.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
He didn't do that out of though he didn't do
massage too with memor Roger's movies.
Speaker 3 (47:15):
Ever again fxh okay, we got a we got another hour.
Stay with us,
