I'll tru some money and five to seventy eight Sports
Live everywhere I Heart Radio app Doctors Phillies from the
Galpamotors broadcast booth Tomorrow Game one, three thirty eight pm.
Just heard the presser from show hail Time. We played that,
probably played again before the end of the show. Otani
getting a start against Sanchez.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
We have a responsibility, Matt this time of year to
Dodger fans.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
We do. It's Dodger Radio listen. We're the home of
the World Series champs. Dodgers are the biggest thing going
when it comes to entertainment and all of Los Angeles.
You see the crowds out there, You see the Eight
List celebrities. You know what the numbers are. My gosh,
we're rolling millions of dollars because of this. Of course,
we're going to share press conferences that are in two languages.
It wouldn't make sense not to.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
No, it certainly wouldn't. But we're happy to be here.
And for those of you asking about when the rosters
are going to be delivered, that is tomorrow. Game Day
is when the rosters will come out. But Dave Roberts
has already said Clayton Kershaw will be in the bullpen
for the NLDS and they've given the pitching rotation. It
(01:46):
is Otani Snell for Game two, Yamamoto for Game three.
And that is the latest. And we got football too, Matt,
I mean, we got football, We got picks, and we
got a college football whip around coming up. We have
(02:08):
all kinds of stuff going on. But the Clemson North
Carolina tomorrow is a Tim Kates game.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
You got a Dabbo who was nearly in tears after
the last loss. You got Bill Belichick who looks like
he's totally outmatched and nearly every game he's playing, so
certainly head coaching storylines a plenty. Clemson was picked by
a lot of folks. Yeah, not only make the playoffs,
but make a big run of the playoffs. Yeah. I
(02:36):
think I feel like our friend Bruce Feldman had them
clatt hanby going far winning at all, and they are
absolutely terrible.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Dabo Sweeney at his press conference this week. You'll hear
this on the pregame show tomorrow. Dabo Sweeney says he's
trying to get his players not to listen to the
outside noise talk radio, the message boards, you know, social media,
and he said on his way to work that day
he was listening to Footloose.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
That's what he enjoy loose, like the logins.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yes, hey, whatever whatever gets you passed a two touchdown
loss to Syracuse, just knock.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
That out here is good man. Coach Fran was, I'll
be talking about coach fran Where are my white children?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Hey, pee? I just want to make sure just you know,
cards on the table, face up. Coach fran knocks off
Clemson and then gets absolutely his ball stomped on by
Duke Well at home in the Carrier Dome.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Well, it's not that. Next thing you can tell me
is Duke lost on the road and too late.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
It was like fifty to nothing at the Carrier. Don't terrible.
If it's still the Carrier Dome, maybe it's a new sponsor.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
No, I think it's still the Carrier Dome.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
By the way they pitched the coaching matchup tomorrow also
the second time in the history of college football that
a Super Bowl winning head coach and a colle football
National championship head coach square off against each other. Do
you know the other time this has happened?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Super Bowl? It'll be Pete Carroll Harbaugh. But that's like
retroactively it was Bill Walsh versus Joe Paterno. Three forty
nine Penn State Stanford forty nine ers.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Wow, cats, there you go. That's a crazy pregame information.
More that coming at eight thirty am tomorrow. Right with
his words, the word of the day, Today's word of
the day is Superba.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Superbas.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah, yesterday or two days ago, we're walking around Dodger
Stadium and they have like a display of all the
old hats and one of the corners of one of
the where our Vince Gully Sweet is for the radio station.
And I noticed that they had like the different hats
over the years, and I I noticed that the bee
hat from eighteen ninety nine to nineteen ten was not
(05:04):
the Brooklyn Dodgers. They were called the Brooklyn Superbas. And
we just mentioned it on the show in passing. I
didn't know anything about it, and I still really don't.
And somebody texted me today on the secret Textoso.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Secret Text, Dosa Fine, brought to you by your so
called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
We make it easy that the Dodgers were named Superbas
after a sponsoring cigar brand Popular. But that's not true.
So I looked it up, and yeah, but I'm glad
the guys said that because corrections and retractions. I thought
(05:45):
that was interesting enough to look up, and I did
look it up. The Brooklyn Superbas were the nickname for
the Brooklyn Dodgers professional baseball team from eighteen ninety nine
to nineteen ten. The name was given to the team
by sports writers to link it to the popular Handlan
Brothers acrobat troop. Superba was the name of the Handlan
(06:08):
Brothers Acrobat Troop as the team was managed by the
renowned Ned Handling, so they used his Ned Handlin had
the same name as this acrobat troop. So the sports
writers and back then that's that's how you would get
your name. A sports writer would write something and then
people would just kind of roll with it. That's how
(06:29):
Trojans happened for USC. Before that, they were just known
as the Methodists. The Superbas were very successful in that
time with a roster of talented players and the Superba
Handlan Brothers acrobatic act was such a contemporary attraction at
the time that people referred to the games and the
(06:52):
team as Handlan's Superbas because he was the manager.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
That's good superb information, man.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I thought you would enjoy love it that information. It
is not it could be a cigar brand, uh and
maybe it is, but that's not what it was named after.
It was named after an acrobatic group well known as
the Superbas. And you know, acrobats that used to be
a big thing. You know, you don't get the acrobat stuff,
(07:21):
you know, but remember every cartoon used to have acrobats
and like our Circus deal.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Video games, acrobats, circus.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, I don't. I don't see any Superba cigar brand.
But you know what can I do? Time for the number?
Here's my number number of the day.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Twelve. This is a big one. Twelve, This is a
big one. I took a blow this morning. Pee.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
How's that?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
The chosen people? Patriarch Abraham I barely knew the My
inbox today contained a message from twenty three and meters
an updated ancestry composition.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Oh did you went? You went? And did it? Well?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
That's how I found out I was Jewish? Is I
initially did it about a year and a half ago,
and when it came back, you know that I was
Ashkenazi Jewish?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yeah, twenty two percent.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I was like, how about that?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
That's a chunk.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
It was a very odd composition, though, you know, I
was more French somehow on my father's side. My father's
father's name was Henry Smith. My father's mother's name was
Margaret Clark. Was basically told I was English Irish from
that side Clark Smith. Yet somehow I was like thirty percent. Friend,
I was more French than anything else, like twenty four percent.
(08:56):
Next up was two twenty two percent, and it turned
out it was a family secret. On the Zudox side.
My mother knew hid from her sons all those years,
and I figured at twenty two percent, well, that means
my grandpa.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
And you did go home to Chicago with some blood
in your eye to Indiana, I should say, and yes,
and got some You got some people a little upset
higher to life.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
So I assume my grandfather Frank was one hundred percent Jewish,
but after coming to the States as a child, is
family fleeing persecution in Hungary chose to say no because
they were Eastern Orthodox father Hungary and that's how we
were raised. But my ancestry profile insisted, no, he's much
more jew than he let up the today pee the
(09:46):
picture was put into finer focus. What happened, Matt, Well,
French is gone.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I didn't know that. Twenty three in me stayed after
you like that.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, I think they they sent along this thing that
said we have new Chine groupings in Eastern Europe and
have updated your It says your results just got an
upgrade version seven of our ancestry composition with a major
expansion and reference of populations in Europe. So I am
(10:15):
no longer. I have zero French, that is gone, which
never made sense in the first place. My old man
was like, I don't know what to tell you. I
am forty percent English, Welsh, Irish, mostly English. The rest
of the French bs was allocated to Swiss and Austrian
for the fifty percent of my father's bloodline. My mother,
(10:38):
the home of my jewishness.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah, that was you. You went, you know, got after
her family. Why you slipped on its head. It's been
flipped on its head. Peep what happened?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Well, I'm barely Croatian, which is what she told me
growing up. I was more than anything.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
After all that, after all of that, the new not
all that modrich fanfare.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Right after all of that, my new numbers say I
am now twenty five percent Slovenian, Hungarian and Polish, the
other twenty five percent, As the famous Yiddish proverb says,
the katso leganeer VOLTSI given a hun, if a cat
(11:21):
laid eggs, it would be a hen. My twenty three
percent Ashkenazi Jewishness has been more than halved to just
eleven percent.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
No, you still got eleven.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
The other twelve is now classified as Bulgarian, Romanian Albanian.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Well, you know you weren't hustling to get home before
Sundie the other night either. You know, it's not well.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Listen, I looked in the mirror this morning and I
was like, I don't even know who this guy is.
Should I still follow through with my armits for the
schedule and as you mentioned, so.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
All days and retracts, because I mean, I've never met
anybody who went. I had a twenty three and meters
report and made more about it on air than you, right,
I mean for years so now, and I got all
excited yesterday.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
You know, I figured the high holiday, I'm working, the Sabbath,
I eat, I get food poisoning from eating.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, you did get sick yesterday.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
You know, the sex in the morning, the leather pants
I was wearing, the what I figured. You know, they
were all coming after me and poor I guess it
was just coincidence.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Here you go, man, here's some of your music for
you and your folks.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
The God of the Torah, the God of the Old Testament,
still young, are concerned with my I don't know. I'm
eighty nine percent gentile.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
P.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Down from eighty I mean, I mean down from seven
I was twenty two percent. I was like, hey, I'm like, I'm.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Like Jewish man, you were a surfer jew with an attitude.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, now I'm having an existential crisis.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Welcome to the club.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
What do I do with the star of David Pendon
I've been wearing?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I would I'd like I need some xanax. That's what
I did.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Can we start doing some Polish jokes? Now at you man,
since you're mostly polic.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Well, no you can't, but now I can't.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
How many maths does it take to change the light?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Bull? Huh says right here eighteen point one percent Hungarian,
Slovak and Southern Polish seven point two percent Slovenian.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
How uh? How I mean? I know twenty three and
me is not what they used to be. But how uh?
How accurate is this? Most? Well?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
You know, I thought it was pretty damn accurate when
I was twenty three percent Ashkanazi Jewish. Yeah, but now
well now most point two percent Portuguese? So why I
got that going for me?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Hard enough? Just to be yourself?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
This is the song of the day.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
A repiece la band called The Wallows provides our song
of the day called deep dive, a fine fit for
a frogman Friday, where the Petros and Money Show is
taking that deep dive, like Matt Smith, into the vast
oceanic underwater world of mystery and wonder as the currents
of the sea carry us through four full hours of
(14:21):
Gray eight sports talk and right into your nightly programming
on the Fox Sports Radio Network, beginning with The Jason
Smith Show this evening at seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I mean, I'm not saying I never bought Matt as
a full on Jewish guy. He's always seemed like more
of an Eastern European blockhead to me.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I'll believe you mean well matter you know, it caught
me by surprise.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
You don't have to see you, you don't have to
say goodbye to I mean, you're still in there.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
It's not all gone, eh. I mean, eleven percent not bad.
But when I'm forty percent bloke.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
You should see what people's faces are like when I
tell him I'm only half green. What We'll be right
back with the college football whipper outdecks.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
We've made it even easier to take La sports with
you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or your
favorite AM five seventy LA Sports Podcast, a preset on
the iHeartRadio app using Apple car Play or Android Auto.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Road Trip all summer with LA Sports. Bet Bulch will
join us in about an hour. If you missed his
piece in the LA Times, some concern over Martin Jarman
continuing to be the athletic director. Could see a plane
flying over the Rose Bowl tomorrow when they take on
Penn State, suggesting perhaps he's not up for the job.
Moving forward, David Vasse, if you missed it, also in
(15:47):
the six o'clock hours, we got a full four hour
show ahead of you.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
All right, Matt, Yes, we will talk to Ben Boltch,
but we'll do the college football whip right here. The
echo you hear bouncing around the canyons of southern California
is my voice from August. Back then. I was warning
the USC fans and all the Midwest transplant college fans
(16:12):
we live out here in LA that USC had made
a grave scheduling. Air Playing those two cupcakes to start
the season left them unprepared. Versus Illinois last week, Missouri
State and Georgia Southern can't provide the physicality or the
confidence that USC needed to get ready for the season.
(16:35):
They needed to face something different than what they did.
I'm not saying they would have beaten Illinois. I'm saying
at least USC might have not gotten their asses kicked
on both sides of the line of scrimmage in Champagne
or banner. Now, with three games against Michigan, Notre Dame,
(16:56):
so Michigan here, at Notre Dame at Nebraska, does anyone
think the Trojans are built or prepared to deal with
those teams?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
For me, certainly, not all three of them.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Not much.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Here's a proverb from the Bible. Iron sharpens iron, so
one person sharpens another. USC has spread out offensively and
has been the whole time. Lincoln Riley is from the
Mike Leach coaching tree. Knowing that how often or how
well does USC practice for physical teams they don't practice
(17:35):
against it. I don't think it'll take long to answer
that question. They're on a bye week before Michigan comes
to town. They knew Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood would be
making his fourth or fifth career start. But he's an
elite runner, and he's very physical, and he'll be operating
behind a very physical offensive line. So I'll pick this
(17:58):
one in next week's whip. Last week's picks were four
and three, so I'm fifteen and eleven overall, not much,
eh trying my three underdogs hit last week Alabama, UCLA,
and Colorado who the born again, but Iowa State was
(18:19):
my only favorite that covered. So without further ado, let's
get this week's college football Whip picks. Cracking Wisconsin is
two and two at Michigan number twenty three and one,
nine am on Fox, Big Blue. Favored by seventeen and
a half. The Wolverines will feast on the Badgers before
(18:41):
their trip to LA. I'm on record as being critical
of Luke Fickle's squad, especially his inability to find or
develop a quarterback. The aforementioned Bryce Underwood will control the
game with his legs and arms. I expect Michigan to
play their best game of twenty twenty five. I will
(19:02):
take Michigan minus the seventeen and a half points whack
Colorado two and three, not helpless at TCU three and one,
four point thirty pm on Fox. The Frogs are favored
(19:24):
by thirteen and a half. The Buffaloes were able to
stay in last week's game versus BYU and cover the
six and a half points in fulsome field. But this
week will be different. The Frogs are back home and
I'm expecting more from quarterback Josh Hoover. TCU Blue a
seventeen to nothing lead at ASU last week and lost
(19:45):
twenty seven to twenty four. Hoover made a handful of
bad decisions with hurt the Frogs, which hurt the Frogs cause.
But one of my string themes of twenty twenty five
Matt has been the Dion Sanders might not be bringing
the same fire and energy at Colorado, and it's understandable.
I mean, he's without a bladder. The roster turnofs got
(20:09):
sponsored on the sideway, Yeah, depends the roster turnover and
his health gave him a very, very busy offseason. I
feel fortunate that SeeU covered from me last week, and
I'm taking the Frogs minus thirteen and a half number
(20:30):
seven Penn State. We're going to talk to Ben Boltch
in our next hour. An hour from now three and
one at UCLAO and four. This is a twelve thirty
game on CBS. Nitney Lions favored by twenty four and
a half. Who The Nitney Lions have landed in LA
with their tails between their legs, a valiant fourth quarter
(20:54):
performance to force overtime, and then they blew last week's
game to Oregon and Happy Valley, and James Franklin had
to swallow another loss against a top ten team. He's
four and twenty one in those situations now. But not
to worry. UCLA is zero and four and probably won't
be ranked again this decade. Penn State will take out
(21:16):
its anger on the Bruins at the Rose Bowl with
a comprehensive ass kicking. I wouldn't be shocked if Penn
State doesn't hang sixty plus on Ucla. Give me Penn
State minus the twenty four and a half. Miami is
(21:40):
four and oh they're number three in the country at
number eighteen. Florida State three and one. I remember when
this used to be Bobby Bowden versus Cocher or Butch Jones.
What a matchup four point thirty on ABC. I love
the eighties and nineties when Bobby Bowden's Knowles would always
(22:03):
miss a field goal wide right or wide left and
lose this game and everybody would freak out and mus
Burger would have a heart attack. Miami leads the all
time series thirty six to thirty three. But Matt, this
rivalry is not what it used to be when we
were younger. It has fallen on.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Hard times and that's a damn shame.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
In the twenty twenties, well, all of the all of
the blue bloods in Florida been down, you know, Florida State, Yeah,
Miami and Florida. I mean, none of them have been
consistent since Tim Tebow. I mean when these teams played
in twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two, neither team
was even ranked. But now Mario Christobal has Miami nearly
(22:47):
all the way back, but the Canes need to start
making playoff appearances before he gets full credit. Florida State
is a middling program, but Mike Norvell has done a
good job so far this season, climbing back from the
two to ten disaster last season and this year's season
opening Florida State's a big win over Alabama has given
(23:11):
Norvella a lot of value in Tallahassee. But I'm gonna
ride the home team favorite tomorrow, even though they don't
play near the university. I've got Miami minus four and
a half points. Wow, this one's interesting, Matt, Texas number nine. Remember,
arch Manning.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Sounds vaguely familiar.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
At Florida one in three twelve thirty on Spen, the
Horns are favored by four and a half. Texas is
coming off of bye. Maybe that's why. That must be
why we haven't heard him arch in a wie.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
That makes sense.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Texas is coming off of bye, so all the eyes
will be back on arch Manning. Yeah, and he'll be
in the swamp to see if he can improve his
level from a slow start in twenty twenty five. Because
of the Gators one in three record, this visit from
(24:07):
the Horns has become a must win game for Billy
Naps and the Florida program. Olden Naps, Billy Napier and
his staff have been getting dragged hard across social media
all season, and his coaching future, I'm sure you can
imagine Matt has been very, very heavily criticized. I'm going
(24:31):
to take the Gators to respond to pressure and criticism
at Florida, and I will take Florida plus four and
a half. That is my pick. Texas loses in Florida
or doesn't win by that much.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Faith and Nates, That's what I'm here and there.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Exactly go back to Austin Arch and you know what,
I feel kind of stupid forever falling into the arch
manning hype Tornado.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
You talk to people and they all said, guys measureables, athlete,
big arm. You know, I know, it's not like you
were alone on that island. Like no, I believe in
the Mannies. You know, everybody was pretty much into it.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
I was.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
I said that he's not good, and I saw him
in that spring game and I said, this isn't going
to work. It reminded me of Nate Montana at Washington,
and he's better than that. I mean, he's better than
Nate Montana at Washington. But I wish I would have
stuck to my story a little bit more, yeah, and
not been like, oh, Texas will be great. Arch is there.
He's there. I mean, he doesn't look like a guy
(25:40):
who's been in the program for three years right when
he plays. But we'll see, you know, he can improve
as the year goes on and really step it up,
so we shall see. All right, this is a big one.
Who would ever thought number sixteen Vanderbilt five right and
(26:01):
talking s right? And if Vandy was anybody but Vandy
in the SEC and they were five and zero, they
would be higher than number sixteen, which is part of
the reason that the rankings are so stupid. At number
ten Alabama, Alabama's ranked six spots ahead of them. They're
three and one twelve thirty ABC. The Tide is favored
(26:23):
by ten and a half. Speaking of Alabama, Caylen de
Boor and the Tide have bounced back from that FSU loss.
Now coming off a huge win in Athens, many might
be expecting a let down from Alabama after such a
big road ruin. But Vandy beat Bama last year in Nashville,
and you remember how much that pissed everybody off in
(26:45):
the traditional SEC world.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Oh, it was incredible. It's one of the greatest moments
of any college football season ever.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
It was pretty good. And you know, Caylen Debor has
been holding that embarrassing loss over his own head and
his players' heads. I think they're in a better position
with our offensive coordinator this year, but clark Lee's Commodores
are playing well enough the last two years to get
clark Lee another job. He is a former UCLA assistant coach,
(27:17):
along with ed O Jeron and Lane Kiffin. I'm sure
his name will be thrown out there for UCLA fans
to really get behind. But we'll talk to Ben Bulch
about it. I mean, how good of a job is
this at UCLA? How much how much support do you
have if your modern day UCLA? I mean, do you
(27:38):
want to leave Vanderbilt? I know Vanderbilt kind of a
precarious situation as well, but you're still making SEC money.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I don't know living in Nashville.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
I mean when Ben bolt when we were in in
Morongo and Ben Boltch mentioned that Lane wouldn't really Kiffer
want to come back out to the West, I was like, no,
the more I think about that, no, no, not at all.
You know he's got a boat, he's happy anyway.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, he's an SEC guy.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I'm taking Alabama minus ten and a half thwack dwac dwack.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
By the way, Clark Lee's first job coaching, you know
where it was at, not UCLA as a Gaklu assistant
coach at Harvard Westlake High School, who twenty years ago
in two thousand and five.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
How about that my off the menu prop from last
week nose dived on me, Matt that both teams moved
the ball up and down the field, but TCU at
ASU did not combine for fifty four and a half
points as I predicted. Both teams literally tinkled away points
multiple times inside the ten yard line. Very depressing. I
(28:47):
felt like an Illinois fan watching that USC game with
the two fumbles going into the goal line. But this
week's prop will be simple. I'm predicting a great night
in fres No as the foreign and I hope to
get up to Fresno this year. Matt and I will drive.
How long does it take to Fresno?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I'd so you can get there about three and a half.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
I'm gonna drive to Fresno. Who flies to Fresno?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
U there is a there is a flight out of
lax I think American, but this is uh, this is
me talking like six years ago when Peyton got recruited
by them and we went up and I was like,
let me check flights, and there was there was one.
It was either United or America. I want to go
to Fresno and watch them play the foreign one. Bulldogs
(29:39):
host Nevada and the undefeated nineteen eighty five team will
be honored. The eighty five Fresno team was coached by
Jim Sweeney and his son Kevin was the quarterback. Pat
Hill was the O line coach. Only a twenty four
to twenty four time against Hawaii kept that Fresno team
(30:03):
from a twelve to zero record.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
How about that.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Two hundred and forty eight miles pie as all it is?
I mean from our PV. Well, I'll have to drive
to RPV first.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
I get you out at ten thirty five am tomorrow morning, NonStop,
one hour and twenty four minutes.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Oh, it takes a lot less time than that for
five hundred and thirty four dollars five hundred.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
You know, those regional jets get a little pricy.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I'm just tomorrow though, Yeah, I would be. I would drive,
of course I wouldn't have to pay the five hundred either.
My picks, I'm taking mostly favorites Michigan, TCU, Penn State,
Miami and Alabama all minus the points, and just one
(30:54):
dog Florida plus the points. Does fruit in Losuegos? Everybody
enjoy the games coming up next, Matt The lessons learned
in great sports?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Oh, there we go.

piece in today's LA Times about the pressure being put
on Martin Charman as athletic director at UCLA, detailing some
of his missteps and how there may be a push
to push him out. He will join us in the
(32:16):
next hour, right around five thirty p m.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
All right, Matt, it is And that was a very
fruitful week of great sports talk, a lot of trips
to doctor sports Talk, a lot of speculation, a lot
of innuendo, more questions and answers than some answers to
those questions. Let's revisit it all with the lessons learned
(32:41):
MK Twitter picture. I guess he delivered a really sick.
Speaker 7 (32:45):
Burns with no concerns the.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Sense lesson while.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Let's say on you.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
With every Laker media day, Geeter McGee has to drop
in while Lebron is talking and say something that the
kids would say is cringe.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
How competitive and hard it is. And the mental challenge,
which I love anything that's mentally challenging.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
I love.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
Well, how just you just get away from the world.
You out there on the green, no phones, no phones.
My phone stays in the cart the whole time. I
check it from time to time. But it's just like
I play my music. I'm out there with my guys,
you out there and just in the world, and Uh,
I can lose my mind into the game of golf.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Media can't find you, Lebron. There it is media, the
media can't.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Find you, Lebron. It's it's the best we've ever got
from him.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Media.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Let's rage. It's better than that. Make me want to
come back. It's it's really something.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
It is, Uh break bread with the King. Media can't
find you, Lebron. If I'm Geeter, I'm I got my
arms propped against the sink and looking at myself in
the bear after that one pretty hard.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yeah, what am I doing? What's wrong with.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
What I do every day?
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Unless it too uh, let's say it.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Dalton Rushing joined the show. Didn't get a lot of
action in the wildcard round, but he joined the show anyway,
and it's very prominent discussion after the way the Padres
game ended last night against the Cubs and Wrigley. But
Matt asked him about the robot up.
Speaker 8 (34:29):
There's gonna be both sides to it. I think it's
gonna be good for the game. It's also gonna be
some things that guys don't like. I think some pitchers
believe they deserve parts of the strike zone that not
every pitcher is gonna get, or not every pitcher gets.
I don't agree nor disagree with them. Some guys played
this game for a really long time and they've earned
the right to have that part of the strike zone.
(34:51):
And I think, honestly, I do think the challenge system
is gonna take a little bit of the heat off umpires.
It's gonna add a little bit, gonna make them a
little more responsible for their job. You're kind of gonna
get shown up if you miss a bad one. But
at the same time, I think the human nature of
baseball is something that's been around since this game's obviously started.
(35:14):
So I do think there's gonna be some people upset
with it.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Good stuff and a good answer that wasn't a platitude
filled answer. That was very good though.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I mean talking about guys like Blake Snug gonna get
pissed off if he's getting squeezed, right, I mean, that's
good insight from Dalton Rushing.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
I just think if we didn't have Dalton rushing on,
we could have got that usc top story in the
entire thing there, huh, well we got it all it is,
Oh we did.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Okay, we did. Ok it's sandwiched. It was the bread,
the Dalton rushing.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Whatever to make it sure. He gave up two runs. No,
he did it. It's there. It's stupid yet lesson three
uh Lexi and Chase you don't though, let's say on
eight day. So all right here it is the film.
(36:00):
To our corner, we have scorchy Tottie Stevens as a
cop talking to her subperiod. It's taken me two years
to get it this far. Come on, Frank, another two
weeks isn't going to kill.

I'll tru some money and five to seventy eight Sports
Live everywhere I Heart Radio app Doctors Phillies from the
Galpamotors broadcast booth Tomorrow Game one, three thirty eight pm.
Just heard the presser from show hail Time. We played that,
probably played again before the end of the show. Otani
getting a start against Sanchez.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
We have a responsibility, Matt this time of year to
Dodger fans.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
We do. It's Dodger Radio listen. We're the home of
the World Series champs. Dodgers are the biggest thing going
when it comes to entertainment and all of Los Angeles.
You see the crowds out there, You see the Eight
List celebrities. You know what the numbers are. My gosh,
we're rolling millions of dollars because of this. Of course,
we're going to share press conferences that are in two languages.
It wouldn't make sense not to.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
No, it certainly wouldn't. But we're happy to be here.
And for those of you asking about when the rosters
are going to be delivered, that is tomorrow. Game Day
is when the rosters will come out. But Dave Roberts
has already said Clayton Kershaw will be in the bullpen
for the NLDS and they've given the pitching rotation. It
(01:46):
is Otani Snell for Game two, Yamamoto for Game three.
And that is the latest. And we got football too, Matt,
I mean, we got football, We got picks, and we
got a college football whip around coming up. We have
(02:08):
all kinds of stuff going on. But the Clemson North
Carolina tomorrow is a Tim Kates game.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
You got a Dabbo who was nearly in tears after
the last loss. You got Bill Belichick who looks like
he's totally outmatched and nearly every game he's playing, so
certainly head coaching storylines a plenty. Clemson was picked by
a lot of folks. Yeah, not only make the playoffs,
but make a big run of the playoffs. Yeah. I
(02:36):
think I feel like our friend Bruce Feldman had them
clatt hanby going far winning at all, and they are
absolutely terrible.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Dabo Sweeney at his press conference this week. You'll hear
this on the pregame show tomorrow. Dabo Sweeney says he's
trying to get his players not to listen to the
outside noise talk radio, the message boards, you know, social media,
and he said on his way to work that day
he was listening to Footloose.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
That's what he enjoy loose, like the logins.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yes, hey, whatever whatever gets you passed a two touchdown
loss to Syracuse, just knock.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
That out here is good man. Coach Fran was, I'll
be talking about coach fran Where are my white children?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Hey, pee? I just want to make sure just you know,
cards on the table, face up. Coach fran knocks off
Clemson and then gets absolutely his ball stomped on by
Duke Well at home in the Carrier Dome.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Well, it's not that. Next thing you can tell me
is Duke lost on the road and too late.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
It was like fifty to nothing at the Carrier. Don't terrible.
If it's still the Carrier Dome, maybe it's a new sponsor.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
No, I think it's still the Carrier Dome.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
By the way they pitched the coaching matchup tomorrow also
the second time in the history of college football that
a Super Bowl winning head coach and a colle football
National championship head coach square off against each other. Do
you know the other time this has happened?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Super Bowl? It'll be Pete Carroll Harbaugh. But that's like
retroactively it was Bill Walsh versus Joe Paterno. Three forty
nine Penn State Stanford forty nine ers.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Wow, cats, there you go. That's a crazy pregame information.
More that coming at eight thirty am tomorrow. Right with
his words, the word of the day, Today's word of
the day is Superba.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Superbas.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah, yesterday or two days ago, we're walking around Dodger
Stadium and they have like a display of all the
old hats and one of the corners of one of
the where our Vince Gully Sweet is for the radio station.
And I noticed that they had like the different hats
over the years, and I I noticed that the bee
hat from eighteen ninety nine to nineteen ten was not
(05:04):
the Brooklyn Dodgers. They were called the Brooklyn Superbas. And
we just mentioned it on the show in passing. I
didn't know anything about it, and I still really don't.
And somebody texted me today on the secret Textoso.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Secret Text, Dosa Fine, brought to you by your so
called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
We make it easy that the Dodgers were named Superbas
after a sponsoring cigar brand Popular. But that's not true.
So I looked it up, and yeah, but I'm glad
the guys said that because corrections and retractions. I thought
(05:45):
that was interesting enough to look up, and I did
look it up. The Brooklyn Superbas were the nickname for
the Brooklyn Dodgers professional baseball team from eighteen ninety nine
to nineteen ten. The name was given to the team
by sports writers to link it to the popular Handlan
Brothers acrobat troop. Superba was the name of the Handlan
(06:08):
Brothers Acrobat Troop as the team was managed by the
renowned Ned Handling, so they used his Ned Handlin had
the same name as this acrobat troop. So the sports
writers and back then that's that's how you would get
your name. A sports writer would write something and then
people would just kind of roll with it. That's how
(06:29):
Trojans happened for USC. Before that, they were just known
as the Methodists. The Superbas were very successful in that
time with a roster of talented players and the Superba
Handlan Brothers acrobatic act was such a contemporary attraction at
the time that people referred to the games and the
(06:52):
team as Handlan's Superbas because he was the manager.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
That's good superb information, man.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I thought you would enjoy love it that information. It
is not it could be a cigar brand, uh and
maybe it is, but that's not what it was named after.
It was named after an acrobatic group well known as
the Superbas. And you know, acrobats that used to be
a big thing. You know, you don't get the acrobat stuff,
(07:21):
you know, but remember every cartoon used to have acrobats
and like our Circus deal.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Video games, acrobats, circus.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, I don't. I don't see any Superba cigar brand.
But you know what can I do? Time for the number?
Here's my number number of the day.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Twelve. This is a big one. Twelve, This is a
big one. I took a blow this morning. Pee.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
How's that?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
The chosen people? Patriarch Abraham I barely knew the My
inbox today contained a message from twenty three and meters
an updated ancestry composition.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Oh did you went? You went? And did it? Well?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
That's how I found out I was Jewish? Is I
initially did it about a year and a half ago,
and when it came back, you know that I was
Ashkenazi Jewish?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yeah, twenty two percent.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I was like, how about that?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
That's a chunk.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
It was a very odd composition, though, you know, I
was more French somehow on my father's side. My father's
father's name was Henry Smith. My father's mother's name was
Margaret Clark. Was basically told I was English Irish from
that side Clark Smith. Yet somehow I was like thirty percent. Friend,
I was more French than anything else, like twenty four percent.
(08:56):
Next up was two twenty two percent, and it turned
out it was a family secret. On the Zudox side.
My mother knew hid from her sons all those years,
and I figured at twenty two percent, well, that means
my grandpa.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
And you did go home to Chicago with some blood
in your eye to Indiana, I should say, and yes,
and got some You got some people a little upset
higher to life.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
So I assume my grandfather Frank was one hundred percent Jewish,
but after coming to the States as a child, is
family fleeing persecution in Hungary chose to say no because
they were Eastern Orthodox father Hungary and that's how we
were raised. But my ancestry profile insisted, no, he's much
more jew than he let up the today pee the
(09:46):
picture was put into finer focus. What happened, Matt, Well,
French is gone.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I didn't know that. Twenty three in me stayed after
you like that.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, I think they they sent along this thing that
said we have new Chine groupings in Eastern Europe and
have updated your It says your results just got an
upgrade version seven of our ancestry composition with a major
expansion and reference of populations in Europe. So I am
(10:15):
no longer. I have zero French, that is gone, which
never made sense in the first place. My old man
was like, I don't know what to tell you. I
am forty percent English, Welsh, Irish, mostly English. The rest
of the French bs was allocated to Swiss and Austrian
for the fifty percent of my father's bloodline. My mother,
(10:38):
the home of my jewishness.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah, that was you. You went, you know, got after
her family. Why you slipped on its head. It's been
flipped on its head. Peep what happened?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Well, I'm barely Croatian, which is what she told me
growing up. I was more than anything.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
After all that, after all of that, the new not
all that modrich fanfare.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Right after all of that, my new numbers say I
am now twenty five percent Slovenian, Hungarian and Polish, the
other twenty five percent, As the famous Yiddish proverb says,
the katso leganeer VOLTSI given a hun, if a cat
(11:21):
laid eggs, it would be a hen. My twenty three
percent Ashkenazi Jewishness has been more than halved to just
eleven percent.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
No, you still got eleven.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
The other twelve is now classified as Bulgarian, Romanian Albanian.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Well, you know you weren't hustling to get home before
Sundie the other night either. You know, it's not well.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Listen, I looked in the mirror this morning and I
was like, I don't even know who this guy is.
Should I still follow through with my armits for the
schedule and as you mentioned, so.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
All days and retracts, because I mean, I've never met
anybody who went. I had a twenty three and meters
report and made more about it on air than you, right,
I mean for years so now, and I got all
excited yesterday.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
You know, I figured the high holiday, I'm working, the Sabbath,
I eat, I get food poisoning from eating.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, you did get sick yesterday.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
You know, the sex in the morning, the leather pants
I was wearing, the what I figured. You know, they
were all coming after me and poor I guess it
was just coincidence.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Here you go, man, here's some of your music for
you and your folks.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
The God of the Torah, the God of the Old Testament,
still young, are concerned with my I don't know. I'm
eighty nine percent gentile.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
P.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Down from eighty I mean, I mean down from seven
I was twenty two percent. I was like, hey, I'm like, I'm.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Like Jewish man, you were a surfer jew with an attitude.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, now I'm having an existential crisis.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Welcome to the club.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
What do I do with the star of David Pendon
I've been wearing?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I would I'd like I need some xanax. That's what
I did.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Can we start doing some Polish jokes? Now at you man,
since you're mostly polic.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Well, no you can't, but now I can't.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
How many maths does it take to change the light?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Bull? Huh says right here eighteen point one percent Hungarian,
Slovak and Southern Polish seven point two percent Slovenian.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
How uh? How I mean? I know twenty three and
me is not what they used to be. But how uh?
How accurate is this? Most? Well?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
You know, I thought it was pretty damn accurate when
I was twenty three percent Ashkanazi Jewish. Yeah, but now
well now most point two percent Portuguese? So why I
got that going for me?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Hard enough? Just to be yourself?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
This is the song of the day.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
A repiece la band called The Wallows provides our song
of the day called deep dive, a fine fit for
a frogman Friday, where the Petros and Money Show is
taking that deep dive, like Matt Smith, into the vast
oceanic underwater world of mystery and wonder as the currents
of the sea carry us through four full hours of
(14:21):
Gray eight sports talk and right into your nightly programming
on the Fox Sports Radio Network, beginning with The Jason
Smith Show this evening at seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I mean, I'm not saying I never bought Matt as
a full on Jewish guy. He's always seemed like more
of an Eastern European blockhead to me.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I'll believe you mean well matter you know, it caught
me by surprise.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
You don't have to see you, you don't have to
say goodbye to I mean, you're still in there.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
It's not all gone, eh. I mean, eleven percent not bad.
But when I'm forty percent bloke.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
You should see what people's faces are like when I
tell him I'm only half green. What We'll be right
back with the college football whipper outdecks.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
We've made it even easier to take La sports with

join us in about an hour. If you missed his
piece in the LA Times, some concern over Martin Jarman
continuing to be the athletic director. Could see a plane
flying over the Rose Bowl tomorrow when they take on
Penn State, suggesting perhaps he's not up for the job.
Moving forward, David Vasse, if you missed it, also in
(15:47):
the six o'clock hours, we got a full four hour
show ahead of you.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
All right, Matt, Yes, we will talk to Ben Boltch,
but we'll do the college football whip right here. The
echo you hear bouncing around the canyons of southern California
is my voice from August. Back then. I was warning
the USC fans and all the Midwest transplant college fans
(16:12):
we live out here in LA that USC had made
a grave scheduling. Air Playing those two cupcakes to start
the season left them unprepared. Versus Illinois last week, Missouri
State and Georgia Southern can't provide the physicality or the
confidence that USC needed to get ready for the season.
(16:35):
They needed to face something different than what they did.
I'm not saying they would have beaten Illinois. I'm saying
at least USC might have not gotten their asses kicked
on both sides of the line of scrimmage in Champagne
or banner. Now, with three games against Michigan, Notre Dame,
(16:56):
so Michigan here, at Notre Dame at Nebraska, does anyone
think the Trojans are built or prepared to deal with
those teams?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
For me, certainly, not all three of them.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Not much.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Here's a proverb from the Bible. Iron sharpens iron, so
one person sharpens another. USC has spread out offensively and
has been the whole time. Lincoln Riley is from the
Mike Leach coaching tree. Knowing that how often or how
well does USC practice for physical teams they don't practice
(17:35):
against it. I don't think it'll take long to answer
that question. They're on a bye week before Michigan comes
to town. They knew Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood would be
making his fourth or fifth career start. But he's an
elite runner, and he's very physical, and he'll be operating
behind a very physical offensive line. So I'll pick this
(17:58):
one in next week's whip. Last week's picks were four
and three, so I'm fifteen and eleven overall, not much,
eh trying my three underdogs hit last week Alabama, UCLA,
and Colorado who the born again, but Iowa State was
(18:19):
my only favorite that covered. So without further ado, let's
get this week's college football Whip picks. Cracking Wisconsin is
two and two at Michigan number twenty three and one,
nine am on Fox, Big Blue. Favored by seventeen and
a half. The Wolverines will feast on the Badgers before
(18:41):
their trip to LA. I'm on record as being critical
of Luke Fickle's squad, especially his inability to find or
develop a quarterback. The aforementioned Bryce Underwood will control the
game with his legs and arms. I expect Michigan to
play their best game of twenty twenty five. I will
(19:02):
take Michigan minus the seventeen and a half points whack
Colorado two and three, not helpless at TCU three and one,
four point thirty pm on Fox. The Frogs are favored
(19:24):
by thirteen and a half. The Buffaloes were able to
stay in last week's game versus BYU and cover the
six and a half points in fulsome field. But this
week will be different. The Frogs are back home and
I'm expecting more from quarterback Josh Hoover. TCU Blue a
seventeen to nothing lead at ASU last week and lost
(19:45):
twenty seven to twenty four. Hoover made a handful of
bad decisions with hurt the Frogs, which hurt the Frogs cause.
But one of my string themes of twenty twenty five
Matt has been the Dion Sanders might not be bringing
the same fire and energy at Colorado, and it's understandable.
I mean, he's without a bladder. The roster turnofs got
(20:09):
sponsored on the sideway, Yeah, depends the roster turnover and
his health gave him a very, very busy offseason. I
feel fortunate that SeeU covered from me last week, and
I'm taking the Frogs minus thirteen and a half number
(20:30):
seven Penn State. We're going to talk to Ben Boltch
in our next hour. An hour from now three and
one at UCLAO and four. This is a twelve thirty
game on CBS. Nitney Lions favored by twenty four and
a half. Who The Nitney Lions have landed in LA
with their tails between their legs, a valiant fourth quarter
(20:54):
performance to force overtime, and then they blew last week's
game to Oregon and Happy Valley, and James Franklin had
to swallow another loss against a top ten team. He's
four and twenty one in those situations now. But not
to worry. UCLA is zero and four and probably won't
be ranked again this decade. Penn State will take out
(21:16):
its anger on the Bruins at the Rose Bowl with
a comprehensive ass kicking. I wouldn't be shocked if Penn
State doesn't hang sixty plus on Ucla. Give me Penn
State minus the twenty four and a half. Miami is
(21:40):
four and oh they're number three in the country at
number eighteen. Florida State three and one. I remember when
this used to be Bobby Bowden versus Cocher or Butch Jones.
What a matchup four point thirty on ABC. I love
the eighties and nineties when Bobby Bowden's Knowles would always
(22:03):
miss a field goal wide right or wide left and
lose this game and everybody would freak out and mus
Burger would have a heart attack. Miami leads the all
time series thirty six to thirty three. But Matt, this
rivalry is not what it used to be when we
were younger. It has fallen on.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Hard times and that's a damn shame.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
In the twenty twenties, well, all of the all of
the blue bloods in Florida been down, you know, Florida State, Yeah,
Miami and Florida. I mean, none of them have been
consistent since Tim Tebow. I mean when these teams played
in twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two, neither team
was even ranked. But now Mario Christobal has Miami nearly
(22:47):
all the way back, but the Canes need to start
making playoff appearances before he gets full credit. Florida State
is a middling program, but Mike Norvell has done a
good job so far this season, climbing back from the
two to ten disaster last season and this year's season
opening Florida State's a big win over Alabama has given
(23:11):
Norvella a lot of value in Tallahassee. But I'm gonna
ride the home team favorite tomorrow, even though they don't
play near the university. I've got Miami minus four and
a half points. Wow, this one's interesting, Matt, Texas number nine. Remember,
arch Manning.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Sounds vaguely familiar.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
At Florida one in three twelve thirty on Spen, the
Horns are favored by four and a half. Texas is
coming off of bye. Maybe that's why. That must be
why we haven't heard him arch in a wie.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
That makes sense.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Texas is coming off of bye, so all the eyes
will be back on arch Manning. Yeah, and he'll be
in the swamp to see if he can improve his
level from a slow start in twenty twenty five. Because
of the Gators one in three record, this visit from
(24:07):
the Horns has become a must win game for Billy
Naps and the Florida program. Olden Naps, Billy Napier and
his staff have been getting dragged hard across social media
all season, and his coaching future, I'm sure you can
imagine Matt has been very, very heavily criticized. I'm going
(24:31):
to take the Gators to respond to pressure and criticism
at Florida, and I will take Florida plus four and
a half. That is my pick. Texas loses in Florida
or doesn't win by that much.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Faith and Nates, That's what I'm here and there.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Exactly go back to Austin Arch and you know what,
I feel kind of stupid forever falling into the arch
manning hype Tornado.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
You talk to people and they all said, guys measureables, athlete,
big arm. You know, I know, it's not like you
were alone on that island. Like no, I believe in
the Mannies. You know, everybody was pretty much into it.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
I was.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
I said that he's not good, and I saw him
in that spring game and I said, this isn't going
to work. It reminded me of Nate Montana at Washington,
and he's better than that. I mean, he's better than
Nate Montana at Washington. But I wish I would have
stuck to my story a little bit more, yeah, and
not been like, oh, Texas will be great. Arch is there.
He's there. I mean, he doesn't look like a guy
(25:40):
who's been in the program for three years right when
he plays. But we'll see, you know, he can improve
as the year goes on and really step it up,
so we shall see. All right, this is a big one.
Who would ever thought number sixteen Vanderbilt five right and
(26:01):
talking s right? And if Vandy was anybody but Vandy
in the SEC and they were five and zero, they
would be higher than number sixteen, which is part of
the reason that the rankings are so stupid. At number
ten Alabama, Alabama's ranked six spots ahead of them. They're
three and one twelve thirty ABC. The Tide is favored
(26:23):
by ten and a half. Speaking of Alabama, Caylen de
Boor and the Tide have bounced back from that FSU loss.
Now coming off a huge win in Athens, many might
be expecting a let down from Alabama after such a
big road ruin. But Vandy beat Bama last year in Nashville,
and you remember how much that pissed everybody off in
(26:45):
the traditional SEC world.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Oh, it was incredible. It's one of the greatest moments
of any college football season ever.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
It was pretty good. And you know, Caylen Debor has
been holding that embarrassing loss over his own head and
his players' heads. I think they're in a better position
with our offensive coordinator this year, but clark Lee's Commodores
are playing well enough the last two years to get
clark Lee another job. He is a former UCLA assistant coach,
(27:17):
along with ed O Jeron and Lane Kiffin. I'm sure
his name will be thrown out there for UCLA fans
to really get behind. But we'll talk to Ben Bulch
about it. I mean, how good of a job is
this at UCLA? How much how much support do you
have if your modern day UCLA? I mean, do you
(27:38):
want to leave Vanderbilt? I know Vanderbilt kind of a
precarious situation as well, but you're still making SEC money.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I don't know living in Nashville.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
I mean when Ben bolt when we were in in
Morongo and Ben Boltch mentioned that Lane wouldn't really Kiffer
want to come back out to the West, I was like, no,
the more I think about that, no, no, not at all.
You know he's got a boat, he's happy anyway.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, he's an SEC guy.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I'm taking Alabama minus ten and a half thwack dwac dwack.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
By the way, Clark Lee's first job coaching, you know
where it was at, not UCLA as a Gaklu assistant
coach at Harvard Westlake High School, who twenty years ago
in two thousand and five.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
How about that my off the menu prop from last
week nose dived on me, Matt that both teams moved
the ball up and down the field, but TCU at
ASU did not combine for fifty four and a half
points as I predicted. Both teams literally tinkled away points
multiple times inside the ten yard line. Very depressing. I
(28:47):
felt like an Illinois fan watching that USC game with
the two fumbles going into the goal line. But this
week's prop will be simple. I'm predicting a great night
in fres No as the foreign and I hope to
get up to Fresno this year. Matt and I will drive.
How long does it take to Fresno?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I'd so you can get there about three and a half.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
I'm gonna drive to Fresno. Who flies to Fresno?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
U there is a there is a flight out of
lax I think American, but this is uh, this is
me talking like six years ago when Peyton got recruited
by them and we went up and I was like,
let me check flights, and there was there was one.
It was either United or America. I want to go
to Fresno and watch them play the foreign one. Bulldogs
(29:39):
host Nevada and the undefeated nineteen eighty five team will
be honored. The eighty five Fresno team was coached by
Jim Sweeney and his son Kevin was the quarterback. Pat
Hill was the O line coach. Only a twenty four
to twenty four time against Hawaii kept that Fresno team
(30:03):
from a twelve to zero record.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
How about that.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Two hundred and forty eight miles pie as all it is?
I mean from our PV. Well, I'll have to drive
to RPV first.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
I get you out at ten thirty five am tomorrow morning, NonStop,
one hour and twenty four minutes.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Oh, it takes a lot less time than that for
five hundred and thirty four dollars five hundred.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
You know, those regional jets get a little pricy.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I'm just tomorrow though, Yeah, I would be. I would drive,
of course I wouldn't have to pay the five hundred either.
My picks, I'm taking mostly favorites Michigan, TCU, Penn State,
Miami and Alabama all minus the points, and just one
(30:54):
dog Florida plus the points. Does fruit in Losuegos? Everybody
enjoy the games coming up next, Matt The lessons learned
in great sports?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Oh, there we go.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
You think we might get a champagne Bazuka in there.
Forget the Champagne Supernova, the David Vase Champagne Bazuka.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Let's the exclusive.
Speaker 3 (31:19):

Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Big thank you to
David Vasse. Still to come then both wrote a compelling
piece in today's LA Times about the pressure being put
on Martin Charman as athletic director at UCLA, detailing some
of his missteps and how there may be a push
to push him out. He will join us in the
(32:16):
next hour, right around five thirty p m.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
All right, Matt, it is And that was a very
fruitful week of great sports talk, a lot of trips
to doctor sports Talk, a lot of speculation, a lot
of innuendo, more questions and answers than some answers to
those questions. Let's revisit it all with the lessons learned
(32:41):
MK Twitter picture. I guess he delivered a really sick.
Speaker 7 (32:45):
Burns with no concerns the.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Sense lesson while.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Let's say on you.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
With every Laker media day, Geeter McGee has to drop
in while Lebron is talking and say something that the
kids would say is cringe.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
How competitive and hard it is. And the mental challenge,
which I love anything that's mentally challenging.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
I love.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
Well, how just you just get away from the world.
You out there on the green, no phones, no phones.
My phone stays in the cart the whole time. I
check it from time to time. But it's just like
I play my music. I'm out there with my guys,
you out there and just in the world, and Uh,
I can lose my mind into the game of golf.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Media can't find you, Lebron. There it is media, the
media can't.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Find you, Lebron. It's it's the best we've ever got
from him.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Media.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Let's rage. It's better than that. Make me want to
come back. It's it's really something.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
It is, Uh break bread with the King. Media can't
find you, Lebron. If I'm Geeter, I'm I got my
arms propped against the sink and looking at myself in
the bear after that one pretty hard.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yeah, what am I doing? What's wrong with.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
What I do every day?
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Unless it too uh, let's say it.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Dalton Rushing joined the show. Didn't get a lot of
action in the wildcard round, but he joined the show anyway,
and it's very prominent discussion after the way the Padres
game ended last night against the Cubs and Wrigley. But
Matt asked him about the robot up.
Speaker 8 (34:29):
There's gonna be both sides to it. I think it's
gonna be good for the game. It's also gonna be
some things that guys don't like. I think some pitchers
believe they deserve parts of the strike zone that not
every pitcher is gonna get, or not every pitcher gets.
I don't agree nor disagree with them. Some guys played
this game for a really long time and they've earned
the right to have that part of the strike zone.
(34:51):
And I think, honestly, I do think the challenge system
is gonna take a little bit of the heat off umpires.
It's gonna add a little bit, gonna make them a
little more responsible for their job. You're kind of gonna
get shown up if you miss a bad one. But
at the same time, I think the human nature of
baseball is something that's been around since this game's obviously started.
(35:14):
So I do think there's gonna be some people upset
with it.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Good stuff and a good answer that wasn't a platitude
filled answer. That was very good though.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I mean talking about guys like Blake Snug gonna get
pissed off if he's getting squeezed, right, I mean, that's
good insight from Dalton Rushing.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
I just think if we didn't have Dalton rushing on,
we could have got that usc top story in the
entire thing there, huh, well we got it all it is,
Oh we did.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Okay, we did. Ok it's sandwiched. It was the bread,
the Dalton rushing.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Whatever to make it sure. He gave up two runs. No,
he did it. It's there. It's stupid yet lesson three
uh Lexi and Chase you don't though, let's say on
eight day. So all right here it is the film.
(36:00):
To our corner, we have scorchy Tottie Stevens as a
cop talking to her subperiod. It's taken me two years
to get it this far. Come on, Frank, another two
weeks isn't going to kill.
