Speaker 4 (00:54):
Sellowing to you Petros in Money A five seventy LA Sports.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We're going till
three thirty, already hour two here. It is a one
to three thirty show to day because we've got Clippers
basketball coming up at four thirty. They are in Toronto,
so early one with Adam Auslin on pregame. That's going
to hold through the beginning of next week as well.
(01:15):
MLK Day on Monday, we know is the NBA from
pretty much nine am Pacific all the way through late
into the night, and the Clips got the midday affair
out in the district. They will take on the Wizards
at noon, so we'll be on after that game and
postgame from Adam probably around four o'clock. And then Tuesday
it'll be another two to four show as they will
finish up this roadie in Chicago. So Clippers in our way,
(01:39):
but hey, at least they've won eleven of their last
thirteen and are creeping back to five hundred and just
a game out of the play and at this point.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Clippers in our way, but hey, but hey, thank you
for just.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
A game out of the play in tournament.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Well, we appreciate your patriotge. No matter if we're on
early today, late Monday, early Tuesday, this has been scheduled.
Talk on the Petrolsen Money Show on Anti seventy LA Sports.
You're home with the Dodgers who just signed Kyle Tucker.
Our schedule on Thursday. We are out in beautiful Irvine,
(02:17):
California to enjoy the pregame festivities at the marketplace for
Lakers Clippers. Now when the Lakers or the Clippers play,
Matt a lot of people don't know this because they
don't go down to South Orange County much down to Irvine.
But I'll tell you what. That place pops off for
Laker pregame, the marketplace, the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah, it's like a it's like an annual holiday three
times a year to four times a year. When they
do this, you know, the whole city shuts down. And
you're talking about a you know, massive industrial city, I
mean pumping out hundreds of millions of dollars in GDP,
and the whole place just shuts down for being part
of Lakers part be part of it.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
And Tim Kats has beg publicly for a proclamation from
the mayor of Irvine, so we are looking forward to that.
David Vassey is going to join us next to talk
about the Dodgers embarrassment of Riches signing Kyle Tucker. Many others.
The woman in Chicago on social media and John Traturo's
(03:20):
little brother in New York are vociferously angry. Apparently there's
a mad charger or excuse me, Padre fan down in
San Diego who is bald headed. I'm sorry for the
slip of the tongue. I know It's been a sensitive
week for the Chargers, although Matt did get a good
question in during the press conference with Jim Harbaugh this week,
(03:40):
and we will have that later in Lessons Learned. So
if there's no insurance, insurance, anybody insurance, let's do the
word of.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
The day, his words the word of the day.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Matt, did you watch the Laker game last night? I
know the answer, Nope, And I know why.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
I did not watched the Laker game last night.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Last night, I watched the Laker game because my favorite
thing in the world was happening. The Lakers were losing,
and when they're losing and you know they're gonna lose,
it's really fun to watch the whole thing down to
stretch and watch Billy, Mack and Stu try to figure
it out and talk about it, and Billy try to
be positive and Stull be negative because he's old and
he doesn't care, and them just ignoring when Lebron doesn't
(04:31):
get back on defense, or just ignoring when Lebron runs
the offense and they're like minus four hundred as opposed
to when Luka Doncic runs the offense and their plus
and of course Luca doesn't play defense either. But Eric Collins,
who actually Eric Collins was one of the first villains
(04:52):
for Vin that we had around town. When Vin stopped traveling,
Eric Collins started doing the Dodger games that were east
of the Rockies. Remember that Eric Collins was doing that
for a long time, and then he was working at
the Big Ten Network for a long time, and he
works at Fox. He's one of the guys that I
don't think I've ever done a game with him, but
(05:13):
he is a play by play guy at Fox doing
college football and basketball, and he's the play by play
guy for the Charlotte Hornets. You are familiar with.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
This guy, Matt, I am familiar.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Here he is on the Charlotte Hernets call. And you know,
you're in LA with the Hernets, and you got LaMelo
Ball out there freaking out getting his swerve on, and
you're beating Douncic in front of all the producers and
all the agents and all the fanfare in LA. You're
probably going to be pretty excited. Eric Collins a pretty
(05:47):
excitable broadcaster. Here he is when Ball pulled that crazy
ankle breaking move on eighton Keas Hayton and the crosshairs, just.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
The great palls a fire, He got the switch that
he wanted, four in the quarter. Look at the pall
hendy right here, step back, one dribble, look at the rotation,
the splash and tell them all about it.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
One eighteen big one.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
They are having a great time.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
That was a Howard Dean like.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, he was pretty gigway. I mean it was that
good of a play, Matt, I mean, let's hear it again.
Here's Eric Collins on that on that mellow ball three.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Cass Hayton in the cross hairs, just to get in there, pluck,
great falls a.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Fire, He got the switch that he wanted, four in
the quarter.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Look at the ball Hendy right here.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Step back, one dribble, look at the rotation, the splash
and tell them.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
All about it. One and that is dal Purry, This
guy f Curry's dad, so very very fun there. And
then you know Eric Collins, you know, wait, wait, wait wait,
Now that Laker fans have gotten to see Luka Doncic,
who is great. There's no doubt about it, but he is.
You know, he does have a quarter by quarter dialogue
(07:20):
going on.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
With the referees.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Oh yes, I'm the great complainer pretude. He is very complaining,
and if he doesn't get calls early in the game,
he starts hunting for calls in the rest of the
game and gets more and more angry and becomes distracted
by the anger. And it's it's not it's not a
(07:45):
great look all the complaining. But at the same time,
anything anybody does is less annoying than what Lebron does.
So I think people will forgive it in today's day
and age, but not Eric Collins. He does not like
the way Luca complains here he is this guy.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Is a whiner.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
And the Hornets have a chance to make it hurt
a potential foot play.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
This guy is a whiner.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
This guy is a whiner.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
So last night has Hayton in the cross hairs just
a get.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
In there.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Break balls of fire. Wow, yeah, play that cat. So
they have this guy is a whiner. They were having
a great time last night on the hernets brond this
(08:46):
guy is a whiner, which is on K S T
N g R. K Stinger.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Said what it is?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
This guy is a whiner. This guy is a whiner.
Is that is a whiner?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Is one play by play guy that used to be
here in town? Does he still do radio for the Hornets.
Remember that guy, that play by play guy who left town?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Not so I thought. I thought your guy did it
for a little while.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Oh Justin Kutcher.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Yeah, didn't he leave the Wizards and go to the Hornets.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
For a second. No he did not. I don't believe so. No,
it's a different guy. It's it's like a farmer.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Was an update? Is he still doing radio for him?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yes, that's what I was asking. Yes he is there.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
You go, This guy is a wider. Yeah, it's time.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
For the number of the day.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Here's my number number of the day.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Four.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
I went two and three last week. Not terrible, certainly
not good. This week we're looking at four zero. That's
what we want. We like the points.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
That's what everybody. That's everybody wants to be a winner, Matt.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
That's what we want. I want people to want win
and I want to win. Trying to win. We're taking
all the points across the board. Start with the bills.
Is it personal?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
You know how I feel about the Broncos Bonix versus
Josh Allen. Come on, Sean Payton, the piece of garbage
that he is, let's go with.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
He Excuse me? Is he a as you referred to
earlier in the week, a garbage human being.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yes, yes he is, and he deserves all the bad
football karma coming his way. The Bills have all the
good football karma. Last season of High March Stadium there
in western New York. It is the year of Josh Allen.
The path is in front of him. They just knocked
off what a lot of people, me included, took the
Jags last week, one of my losses. Thought it was
the best team in the AFC in the tournament, and
(10:47):
they did it. How on the legs in the arm
of Josh Allen. He's the best player in the postseason.
It is the ultimate team sport for certain, not even
on the field for half the game, but at that
position it does matter. Keep it close, and Josh Alleni,
with that has been sort of the mo for bo
Nicks this season. He's got ten in the first two
years fourth quarter come from behind wins. But the Jaguars
(11:09):
did just hammer them in Denver. Chargers' backups held them
to six points in that nineteen to three loss. Thirteen
of those points came from their defense. So I will
take the one and a half points in the Bills
as an underdog more points. I will take the Bears
as a home dog. I do envision this as Rams win.
(11:29):
Bears cover tight game. Rams are a better team, better offense, certainly,
better defense, better coach, better quarterback.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
How do you factor in the disrespect from Ben Johnson
right to the Packers and the people that are connected
with the Packers through the Rams.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I did see our friend Lindsey Theory post that she
was the one that asked the question from Sean McVay
of Sean McVay where he gave the sly answer, Yeah,
of you know, Matt and I we're really good friends,
and yeah, we talk all the time, and you know,
maybe yeah, uh uh, maybe we did talk a little
bit this week. Okay, Ben Johnson Sean McVay. More importantly
(12:12):
than their relationship with Matt Lafleur, we're the two top
producers of explosive plays this season. It's there for Caleb
in his second year Johnson in his first. The Ram
secondary is the one spot that is suspect Dj Moore,
Roma Doonze, Luther Burden, Colston Lovelin. Ben Johnson has got
the weapons to work with. That is a lot to
deal with. Game's gonna kick off at five thirty in
(12:33):
Chicago's sun is setting temperatures say feels like seven when
the wind is whipping, feels like negative three degrees, which
is why it's kind of wild that they got it
at forty and a half for over under. That's what
the odds makers think of these defenses against these two
incredibly talented play callers as head coaches. So instead of
taking the number and the under, I'm gonna get the
(12:55):
Bears and take the four and a half points, I'm
gonna take the Texans plus three over. The Patriots love
the future.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Spens that Texans defense is great. That's what they say.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
That's what they say. It is the best unit left
in the postseason. There is nothing as good as the
Texans defense. They outscored Pittsburgh. Literally, the defense outscored Pittsburgh
twelve to six, two defensive touchdowns. You saw the problems
the Chargers defense. Dave Drake may six points and a
quarterback rating of thirty six in the first half with
(13:27):
an interception and a lost fumble. Offense couldn't back them up.
Both's defense is good. Texans is historic, like the best
statistically we've seen in at least ten years. That is
how good they are. So I will take the three
figure at worse, maybe they lose a game twelve to
ten or something like that. Finally, I'm gonna take the
forty nine ers in the points. Winning in Philadelphia showed
us something. Well, they beat Seattle, I doubt it, but
(13:51):
I don't think I want to lay a touchdown. Even
without George Kittle. Christian McCaffrey good enough to keep this
thing interesting. They only allowed thirteen to Seattle in Week eighteen.
They beat him seventeen thirteen in Week one, so again
could see Seattle winning but not covering a full touchdown.
So I will take all the dogs. Not likely, but
(14:12):
I think, as Colin Toward says when he says something stupid,
hey it's something.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
That's a good out.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Hey, what's something Let me tell you about this. You know,
I could see the Pittsburgh Steelers trading six of their
draft picks to go get Ty Simpson.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
What it's something that is something, Roddie, give us something.
The song of the day.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
This is the song of the day.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Today's song of the Day is Momentum from singers, songwriter
and musician Amy Mann. Because the Petrosen Money Show is
hijacked the middaytime slot on a frog Man Friday, carrying
the momentum of a two and a half hour flex
alert right into Clippers Basketball, who are all of a
sudden one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Who
(15:05):
knew having won four straight and hoping to carry that
momentum into Canada against the Raptors. It's was it Scotia
Bank Arena in Toronto, and our good friend Adam Oslin
will bring his momentum to try to bring you that
Clippers countdown show that begins at three point thirty?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Are you Ronning joining us? Next we'll be David Masse
for more Dodger ball washing?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Can you stand it?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
The Way the Rich get Rich?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Again?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Southern California's most listened to sports talk show, This is
Money on Demand.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
We're off at three thirty tonight and again Marcter Calendars.
It's a week from yesterday, January twenty second, Thursday, We'll
be in Irvine at the BJ's Restaurant in brew House
three to six pm and grand prize giveaway Westinghouse fifty
eight inch Zoomo TV giveaway on site raffle ticket style
so set your schedules. Three to six. Irvine is coming Thursday,
January twenty second.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
From three to six, the accolades keep on pouring in
like gold coins into the vault of Scrooge McDuck. And
diving into those gold coins is David Vess.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Oh, somebody who was barbecuing.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
He said, Oh, Lord Jesus is a fun on the
stove talk and then the smoke gat me.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I got brun Karl saying every off.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Swat Tuesday he picks up the best Show of the
Year award from the Southern California Sports Broadcasters is a
hero in front of his father in law. And then
Thursday he breaks contract detail news on radio on Dodger
(16:58):
Talk where it's meant to be broken, to the many
Dodger fans regurgitating the information into their mouths like a
mother penguin. The Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker, and David Vasse
remains atop the baseball reporter Ant Hill at the Real
Underscore dv MLB network. You can see him there today
(17:19):
Spectrum Sports and at LA. You can see him there
all the time on your Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity
Hotline Hello, Dave.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Hi, guys, Yes, I feel like I've spent my morning
being the voice of reason around Major League Baseball when
you have small market guys like Jeff Passing crying for
the small market teams out there being their mouthpiece, while
you know there are a lot of small market teams
that even got to the NLCS, like the Milwaukee Brewers
(17:50):
last year.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Yeah, Dave, the quote really bothered me because he said
the players feel like they don't have a chance. I
find that almost impossible to believe when the Indians, the Brewers,
and the Reds all made the postseason last year. Like,
that's just an asinine statement to make to.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Me, Matt, how many players text him what he said?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
They did?
Speaker 5 (18:14):
He?
Speaker 7 (18:14):
Jeff Passen said on McAfee today that he got texts
from players how do we beat the Dodgers? I mean,
that's just a rhetorical question. If you look back the
last two years, the Padres were one win away from
sending the Dodgers home in the NLDS, the Phillies were
(18:35):
one bad throwaway from forcing a Game five in the NLDS,
and the Blue Jays were two outs away from winning
the World Series. So there are a lot of teams
that don't have sho Hao Tani and Freddie Freeman and
now Kyle Tucker that almost beat the Dodgers. And oh,
(18:55):
by the way, who had the best record in the
National League last year? It was the old Milwaukee Brewers.
So to me, that's such a condescending comment by a
guy that is the national voice of baseball when it
comes to information.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
What was the vibe like on the National Network of
Baseball when it comes to information the MLB Network, Dave,
Were they negatively slanted or did they celebrate this for
what we believe it is.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
I feel like there was a little bit more fair
and balanced Petros. But the reality is is outside of
Los Angeles, nobody is happy the Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker.
But here's the kicker. Here is the kicker. The signing
of Tucker and Diaz is not going to increase the Dodgers' payroll,
not much more than last year because they shed significant
(19:47):
payroll this past offseason as well. And what's not going
to change even if you bring in a salary cap,
like so many emotional baseball talking heads are saying today,
I'm not going to change the fact that Shohotani signed
a seven hundred million dollar contract and each of the
next ten years is deferring sixty eight million dollars of
(20:11):
his annual seventy million annually, and the Dodgers are only
on the books for two million dollars a year. That's
what everybody is failing to realize. Otani, if he was
going to sign with the Blue Jays or the Dodgers,
was doing that team a huge favor by accepting sixty
(20:35):
eight million dollars annually to be deferred with the intention
of what the Dodgers have done is to reinvest those
dollars to try to help him win a World Series championship.
Nothing is going to change that. Otani and the Dodgers
have been three steps ahead of everybody the day that
contract was signed.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Yeah, Dave, I think I read the Dodgers are actually
six or seven million dollar under where they were at
the end of last year. So and again, the Mets
spent more money than the Dodgers last year and couldn't
even figure out how to get into the freaking postseason.
So spending money isn't necessarily.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Breaks that right. And it was the Mets that were
going to be willing to pay Kyle Tucker fifty five
million dollars. The Dodgers said, okay, how about five million more?
So the Mets had been spending just as much as
the Dodgers, but they just haven't spent it wisely. So
you're one hundred percent accurate. When do you say that?
Even more so than just passing?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Where at passing? And you're stupid Kansas City bs. The
the one like this, to me, Dave is is a
huge like, this is a big deal for the Dodgers
with Kyle Tucker because this is what they want to do.
They want to do four years and a heck of
a lot more money in your pocket if they can
get this thing to work out and Talker plays great
(21:55):
for these two years. We heard you break it on
the air last night. You had the contract details, the
opt out after year two and year three. Then hopefully
that encourages other players to do the same. Had Bryce
Harper done it, he wouldn't be on the hook for
thirteen years. He'd probably be on the hook for the
same amount of money for like eight or nine. And
if this thing works out, I would assume that's really
good for the Dodgers, because this is what they would
(22:16):
prefer to do right.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
You're right. The Dodgers shot baseball when reports started to
come out they were doing something or offering something similar
to Bryce Harper before he was able to sign that
long term deal with the Phillies, and from what I understand,
Harper gave it a long look. It was interesting to
him at the time, but instead decided that he wanted
(22:39):
to be invested in a city and not move again.
Not so sure about that with Kyle Tucker. He has
no roots in Chicago. How much of the roots is
he going to plan in la He can opt out
after the second year. So it's good for the Dodgers
and it's good for Kyle Tucker because the Bluejays offer
(23:00):
bring him ten years, three hundred million dollars while him
signing this short term contract for two hundred and forty
million dollars. If he stays all four years, if he's
as good as he believes that he is, you're telling
me he can't go back out on the market even
four years from now and get at least one hundred
million dollars more. If he can't, this would not have
(23:22):
been a good four years for Kyle Tucker and the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
What about how he fits in personality wise on the team.
You know there's been talk, you know, you referenced it
that he's maybe not that big of a seam head.
How does he fit in on a team where he
doesn't have to be the biggest star.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Well, I'll want up Jeff passing with the text I
got from a player, a prominent player in baseball, and
he texts me that Kyle Tucker is the highest paid
robin in baseball because that's who he is. He's not
a guy that wants to be in the forefront, and
he doesn't have to be. There's an argument to be
(23:59):
made that he he's the fourth or fifth guy on
this team, So I think that appealed to him as well.
He's a low energy guy and we'll see how he
fits in the clubhouse. I feel like that's the only
question is how is he going to fit into the clubhouse? Well,
the Dodger culture that they've created permeate Tucker, and I
(24:19):
feel like for him to be on this team, he's
going to have to go along with it or he's
going to be on the outside looking in. He's very talented,
but the only question is how is he going to
fit in, and look, if he doesn't fit in, it's
not going to be that long of a time that
he's here in La.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Made thirty three million bucks in his career. Tomorrow he
turns twenty nine and he will celebrate with a guaranteed
two hundred and forty million dollars over four years to
play for the two time defending world champion Dodgers. So
why do they do the deal? Dave? If you know
there are those questions if he's a robin not a bet,
but everybody seemed to suggest that this was the best
(24:59):
for agent on the market. So what is it you
know that they are getting that there is worth sixty
million bucks a year on a four year deal.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
Well, last year, all summer we talked about how poor
the Dodger outfield defense was. Kyle Tucker answers two issues
for the Dodgers from last year. Number One, defense, he'll
be a better right fielder than Taoscar Hernandez and ta
Oscar Hernandez in twenty four was a much better left
(25:28):
fielder than he was a right fielder, and that's where
he flourished in his first year with the Dodgers. So
he makes the Dodgers outfield defense better. And he also
makes the Dodger outfield offense better because, as you guys
are aware, they got virtually nothing out of Michael Conforto.
Taoscar Hernandez was not the same offensive player after he
(25:50):
injured his groin in June. Andy Paz was the only
guy really doing much of anything defensively and offensively in
the outfield. So Drue Freeman made it very clear in
the onset of this offseason that he was not happy
with the Dodgers' offensive production the second half of last
year and going into the postseason where they scored twenty
(26:13):
five runs less than their run to the championship in
twenty four And also another layer to this is if
you look out to the next two free agent classes,
there's really nobody that makes an offensive impact position player wise.
So this was kind of the last guy that can
(26:34):
make a difference if you signed him and he's able
to be as good as he was in Houston.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
What about Bishett Dave? How big of a deal is that?
Does that make the Mets that much better? Is Cohen
laughing at the Dodgers Today?
Speaker 7 (26:47):
A lot of people are saying that it was a
grasp at the leftovers by what the Mets did, and
you got Bob Ningel reported that the Phillies saw they
had the shed for a long term contract seven years,
two hundred million dollars until the Mets came in with
these three years and for Bishet smart contract for him
(27:11):
because he can opt out after one year. And like
I just mentioned, next year's free agent class is Trek
Skoogle and a whole lot of nothing offensively, So he
can go back out on the market and get a
big contract because he'll be the premier position player in
next year's free agent class.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Cool Dodgers can sign him to a three year deal.
That'll be great. Dave, enjoy your tour of puffing out
your chest, celebrating the Dodgers and disparaging Jeff Passon who
says players don't know how to beat the Dodgers, which
is humiliating, embarrassing, and should never come off the lips
of baseball supposed number one insider when doing interviews. We
(27:51):
appreciate it. Congratulations on breaking the new night that nobody
seemed to acknowledge that you were the guy who had
the details first, but we certainly appreciate you.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
Here Dave, Thank you, guys. I appreciate it, and yeah,
I just feel like it's dja vou where everybody's so
emotional and they feel like the sports should shut down.
Couldn't be further from the truth. Baseball is in a
great place and there's a lot of teams that will
compete with the Dodgers, like the Brewers, the Phillies and
the Blue Jays did a year ago.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
David Maasse a hero to all Dodger information seekers. Dave,

the Dead Guy. Birthday of the Day.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Happy would have been one hundred and twenty eighth to
Margaret Booth, there is a reason why there is an
oscar given out for editing. It is incredibly important to
put it into perspective.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I mean, how important, not as important as the freedom
trade award, but important.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Important, Yes, not that important, but important. For instance, First Blood,
it was like a three hour movie before the editors
got their hands on it and turned it into a
freaking masterpiece. So we get into old Margie here. All
he wanted was some food and influential American film editor
(31:04):
studio executive who played a major role in shaping Hollywood
during its golden age. Born in Los Angeles, grew up
when the film industry was kind of just getting rolling,
you know.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Now.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Over the course of her sixty year career pee no, no,
all right for Hollywood, she became one of the most
respected figures in the industry in town helped define the
standards of professional film editing. She started working for B. W. Griffith,
one of the pioneers of early filmmaking, as a negative cutter,
which is what you would think. It is, physically cutting
(31:36):
and assembling strips of film, and she was really good
at it. Her attention to detail work ethic quickly set
her apart from other negative cutters. You're not a cutter,
I'm a cutter, okay. She soon moved into editing. Nineteen twenties,
Booth joined MGM. She edited a crap Ton of successful films, dramas, comedies,
(32:02):
literary adaptations, including one of your all time favorites, p
Mutiny on the Bounty.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Well, let's go Frenchick Christian Helen gully Ryde.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
That won the Academy Award for Best Pictures, kept climbing
the ladder. Promoted to Supervising film editor, later new head
of MGM's editing department. She edited films herself, also trained, guided,
and evaluated other editors. Booth became known as the And
this is one of our favorite things. Anytime we can
celebrate someone that is the film editor's editor, that's what
(32:32):
we're all about.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
It was her bill, This is really the editor's editor.
There's the musicians, musician, the drummers, drummer, the guitar player
that your favorite guitar player loves.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Exactly right. She basically schooled Hollywood on how editors could
improve their films by tightening scenes, improving pacing, ensuring clarity
and storytelling. Her opinions were highly valued, and director's producers
regularly fought for her to be their editor. Of course,
(33:06):
a woman at a time when few women held executive
positions in Highywood, but she was just so goddamn good
that she was an executive, was in high demand and
earned widespread respect in what was, of course, in the
thirties forties, a male dominated industry. Her professional standards for
editing are still in effect today, not just a technical
(33:29):
task but a vital part of storytelling that would shape
a film's emotional impact and success. She did receive the
Honorary Academy Award in nineteen seventy eight, and talk about longevity.
She died in two thousand and two p at the
age of one hundred and four. Nineteen eighty two Village
Voice article described her as quote the final authority of
(33:50):
every picture MGM made for thirty years period. In her
obit in The Guardian, it read a pioneer of the
so called invisible cutting, the aim of which was to
make transitions from one image to another as seamless as possible,
the audience unaware of the flow of shots within a sequence.
Narrative dominant, she maintained continuity of time and space. She
(34:14):
maged cuts into action Happy one twenty eighth Margaret.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Booth, they don't make good movies anymore, Matt.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
They don't. You're right about that.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Her technique is dead it's all they don't make movies.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Everything's sol Ai, it's all bs.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Everything's terrible and rabbit ass like Zutopia too.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
I thought you liked that.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
I like the ass. Doctor Laura Matt is seventy one,
seventy nine years old today. Doctor Laura Catherine Schlessinger born
in Brooklyn, raised in Long Island. I'm not unhappy, angry childhood,
(35:01):
A petty father who was unloving, a narcissistic mother, she says.
Doctor Laura went to Stonybrook, got her PhD in physiology
at Colombia, and then once she started giving advice on
the radio, she got a family counseling degree at USC
(35:25):
had a therapist license so she could say I'm doctor Laura.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
Could she if she just got her MFT. I don't
think you're technically a doctor, right, You would have to
like get your.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Well, you know, like you know, like the principal is
the doctor, you know?
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Like that?
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Ye, doctor Jill Biden.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
Not a real not a real not a real doctor.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Doctor Jill's at the Olympics Hall.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
A show, but a doctor like doctor dre Well. No.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
She called into a KABC show by Bill Balance. He
liked her, He liked her so much he tried to
sell nude pictures of her later in life, and he
gave her a weekly segment. This was in nineteen seventy five.
By nineteen seventy well, it was by nineteen seventy nine.
(36:27):
Doctor Laura was a weekend guy, had a show on
the weekends. Weekend got her big. You call him a
weekend guy. Her big break was as a fill in
for the then nationally syndicated Sally Jesse Raphael oh Nice.
(36:48):
Then she got a job down the Hall of Kafive.
It wasn't down the Hall then, but she got a
job that was a gigantic success, and it became nationally
indicated by nineteen ninety four. Then came the self help
books like Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up
(37:12):
Their Lives, a television show which failed as some controversial
things that she said kind of harpooned her advertising before
she even got on the air. She described her talliance
with CBS and television as a terrible experience. She did
(37:37):
win a Marconi matt which continues.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
To escape us. We were nominated twice, though.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
She's the first woman to win nationally syndicated Radio Personality
of the Year. That was ninety seven one member of
the Hall of Fame, one.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Twenty six men and one woman.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
She has a magazine or did She wrote fourteen books
by twenty ten. She'd gotten a little bit too traditional
for what people consider to be progressive now so mainstream.
They made the jump to serious ExM radio and remains there.
Some of the controversies. Matt her second husband, she left
(38:23):
her husband for, and he left a wife and family
for and he was still married for years while they
were together.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Well that's kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Eventually she ended up, you know, getting him to get
a divorce and then they got married.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Okay. There.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
She had a terrible relationship with her mother and didn't
speak to her mother for twenty years and then her
mother died and had no friends and just they was
in an apartment dead for like two and a half months.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Oh, it's terrible.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Yeah, doctor Laura was unmoved. Did not was like yeah, whatever,
I believe her quote was, how.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
Sad she's a bad guy.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Well, you know, she didn't like her mom. They didn't
have something. Something happened, you know, matter. I don't know,
but doctor Laura continues today a modern day radio success
story which served your time to time. Every once in
a while you'd see doctor Laura.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Yeah, yeap, cruising around doing her thing a KFI no
longer though, no k E I B. I think for
a little while there she was doing it.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
There was a time when we started, when we were
were first starting out. I think she still held I
think she still held down her peace until twenty ten
when she said the N word like five times to
a caller.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
And then that'll do it.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
I don't see what's so bad about it.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
I felt like the situation called for it.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Yeah, doctor Laura. They still talk about her in the
leagues today, do they. Well, we're doing it and at
congratulations to Don McLean who also celebrating his birthday with
some family I believe up in Seattle. Our friend in BFF,
(40:23):
Don McLain, also still discussed in the leagues today. And
we will be back with your final hour fun fact,
the lessons learned and the quick can't stay with us.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Sellowing to you Petros in Money A five seventy LA Sports.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We're going till
three thirty, already hour two here. It is a one
to three thirty show to day because we've got Clippers
basketball coming up at four thirty. They are in Toronto,
so early one with Adam Auslin on pregame. That's going
to hold through the beginning of next week as well.
(01:15):
MLK Day on Monday, we know is the NBA from
pretty much nine am Pacific all the way through late
into the night, and the Clips got the midday affair
out in the district. They will take on the Wizards
at noon, so we'll be on after that game and
postgame from Adam probably around four o'clock. And then Tuesday
it'll be another two to four show as they will
finish up this roadie in Chicago. So Clippers in our way,
(01:39):
but hey, at least they've won eleven of their last
thirteen and are creeping back to five hundred and just
a game out of the play and at this point.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Clippers in our way, but hey, but hey, thank you
for just.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
A game out of the play in tournament.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Well, we appreciate your patriotge. No matter if we're on
early today, late Monday, early Tuesday, this has been scheduled.
Talk on the Petrolsen Money Show on Anti seventy LA Sports.
You're home with the Dodgers who just signed Kyle Tucker.
Our schedule on Thursday. We are out in beautiful Irvine,
(02:17):
California to enjoy the pregame festivities at the marketplace for
Lakers Clippers. Now when the Lakers or the Clippers play,
Matt a lot of people don't know this because they
don't go down to South Orange County much down to Irvine.
But I'll tell you what. That place pops off for
Laker pregame, the marketplace, the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah, it's like a it's like an annual holiday three
times a year to four times a year. When they
do this, you know, the whole city shuts down. And
you're talking about a you know, massive industrial city, I
mean pumping out hundreds of millions of dollars in GDP,
and the whole place just shuts down for being part
of Lakers part be part of it.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
And Tim Kats has beg publicly for a proclamation from
the mayor of Irvine, so we are looking forward to that.
David Vassey is going to join us next to talk
about the Dodgers embarrassment of Riches signing Kyle Tucker. Many others.
The woman in Chicago on social media and John Traturo's
(03:20):
little brother in New York are vociferously angry. Apparently there's
a mad charger or excuse me, Padre fan down in
San Diego who is bald headed. I'm sorry for the
slip of the tongue. I know It's been a sensitive
week for the Chargers, although Matt did get a good
question in during the press conference with Jim Harbaugh this week,
(03:40):
and we will have that later in Lessons Learned. So
if there's no insurance, insurance, anybody insurance, let's do the
word of.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
The day, his words the word of the day.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Matt, did you watch the Laker game last night? I
know the answer, Nope, And I know why.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
I did not watched the Laker game last night.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Last night, I watched the Laker game because my favorite
thing in the world was happening. The Lakers were losing,
and when they're losing and you know they're gonna lose,
it's really fun to watch the whole thing down to
stretch and watch Billy, Mack and Stu try to figure
it out and talk about it, and Billy try to
be positive and Stull be negative because he's old and
he doesn't care, and them just ignoring when Lebron doesn't
(04:31):
get back on defense, or just ignoring when Lebron runs
the offense and they're like minus four hundred as opposed
to when Luka Doncic runs the offense and their plus
and of course Luca doesn't play defense either. But Eric Collins,
who actually Eric Collins was one of the first villains
(04:52):
for Vin that we had around town. When Vin stopped traveling,
Eric Collins started doing the Dodger games that were east
of the Rockies. Remember that Eric Collins was doing that
for a long time, and then he was working at
the Big Ten Network for a long time, and he
works at Fox. He's one of the guys that I
don't think I've ever done a game with him, but
(05:13):
he is a play by play guy at Fox doing
college football and basketball, and he's the play by play
guy for the Charlotte Hornets. You are familiar with.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
This guy, Matt, I am familiar.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Here he is on the Charlotte Hernets call. And you know,
you're in LA with the Hernets, and you got LaMelo
Ball out there freaking out getting his swerve on, and
you're beating Douncic in front of all the producers and
all the agents and all the fanfare in LA. You're
probably going to be pretty excited. Eric Collins a pretty
(05:47):
excitable broadcaster. Here he is when Ball pulled that crazy
ankle breaking move on eighton Keas Hayton and the crosshairs, just.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
The great palls a fire, He got the switch that
he wanted, four in the quarter. Look at the pall
hendy right here, step back, one dribble, look at the rotation,
the splash and tell them all about it.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
One eighteen big one.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
They are having a great time.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
That was a Howard Dean like.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, he was pretty gigway. I mean it was that
good of a play, Matt, I mean, let's hear it again.
Here's Eric Collins on that on that mellow ball three.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Cass Hayton in the cross hairs, just to get in there, pluck,
great falls a.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Fire, He got the switch that he wanted, four in
the quarter.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Look at the ball Hendy right here.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Step back, one dribble, look at the rotation, the splash
and tell them.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
All about it. One and that is dal Purry, This
guy f Curry's dad, so very very fun there. And
then you know Eric Collins, you know, wait, wait, wait wait,
Now that Laker fans have gotten to see Luka Doncic,
who is great. There's no doubt about it, but he is.
You know, he does have a quarter by quarter dialogue
(07:20):
going on.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
With the referees.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Oh yes, I'm the great complainer pretude. He is very complaining,
and if he doesn't get calls early in the game,
he starts hunting for calls in the rest of the
game and gets more and more angry and becomes distracted
by the anger. And it's it's not it's not a
(07:45):
great look all the complaining. But at the same time,
anything anybody does is less annoying than what Lebron does.
So I think people will forgive it in today's day
and age, but not Eric Collins. He does not like
the way Luca complains here he is this guy.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Is a whiner.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
And the Hornets have a chance to make it hurt
a potential foot play.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
This guy is a whiner.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
This guy is a whiner.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
So last night has Hayton in the cross hairs just
a get.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
In there.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Break balls of fire. Wow, yeah, play that cat. So
they have this guy is a whiner. They were having
a great time last night on the hernets brond this
(08:46):
guy is a whiner, which is on K S T
N g R. K Stinger.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Said what it is?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
This guy is a whiner. This guy is a whiner.
Is that is a whiner?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Is one play by play guy that used to be
here in town? Does he still do radio for the Hornets.
Remember that guy, that play by play guy who left town?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Not so I thought. I thought your guy did it
for a little while.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Oh Justin Kutcher.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Yeah, didn't he leave the Wizards and go to the Hornets.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
For a second. No he did not. I don't believe so. No,
it's a different guy. It's it's like a farmer.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Was an update? Is he still doing radio for him?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yes, that's what I was asking. Yes he is there.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
You go, This guy is a wider. Yeah, it's time.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
For the number of the day.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Here's my number number of the day.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Four.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
I went two and three last week. Not terrible, certainly
not good. This week we're looking at four zero. That's
what we want. We like the points.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
That's what everybody. That's everybody wants to be a winner, Matt.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
That's what we want. I want people to want win
and I want to win. Trying to win. We're taking
all the points across the board. Start with the bills.
Is it personal?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
You know how I feel about the Broncos Bonix versus
Josh Allen. Come on, Sean Payton, the piece of garbage
that he is, let's go with.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
He Excuse me? Is he a as you referred to
earlier in the week, a garbage human being.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yes, yes he is, and he deserves all the bad
football karma coming his way. The Bills have all the
good football karma. Last season of High March Stadium there
in western New York. It is the year of Josh Allen.
The path is in front of him. They just knocked
off what a lot of people, me included, took the
Jags last week, one of my losses. Thought it was
the best team in the AFC in the tournament, and
(10:47):
they did it. How on the legs in the arm
of Josh Allen. He's the best player in the postseason.
It is the ultimate team sport for certain, not even
on the field for half the game, but at that
position it does matter. Keep it close, and Josh Alleni,
with that has been sort of the mo for bo
Nicks this season. He's got ten in the first two
years fourth quarter come from behind wins. But the Jaguars
(11:09):
did just hammer them in Denver. Chargers' backups held them
to six points in that nineteen to three loss. Thirteen
of those points came from their defense. So I will
take the one and a half points in the Bills
as an underdog more points. I will take the Bears
as a home dog. I do envision this as Rams win.
(11:29):
Bears cover tight game. Rams are a better team, better offense, certainly,
better defense, better coach, better quarterback.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
How do you factor in the disrespect from Ben Johnson
right to the Packers and the people that are connected
with the Packers through the Rams.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I did see our friend Lindsey Theory post that she
was the one that asked the question from Sean McVay
of Sean McVay where he gave the sly answer, Yeah,
of you know, Matt and I we're really good friends,
and yeah, we talk all the time, and you know,
maybe yeah, uh uh, maybe we did talk a little
bit this week. Okay, Ben Johnson Sean McVay. More importantly
(12:12):
than their relationship with Matt Lafleur, we're the two top
producers of explosive plays this season. It's there for Caleb
in his second year Johnson in his first. The Ram
secondary is the one spot that is suspect Dj Moore,
Roma Doonze, Luther Burden, Colston Lovelin. Ben Johnson has got
the weapons to work with. That is a lot to
deal with. Game's gonna kick off at five thirty in
(12:33):
Chicago's sun is setting temperatures say feels like seven when
the wind is whipping, feels like negative three degrees, which
is why it's kind of wild that they got it
at forty and a half for over under. That's what
the odds makers think of these defenses against these two
incredibly talented play callers as head coaches. So instead of
taking the number and the under, I'm gonna get the
(12:55):
Bears and take the four and a half points, I'm
gonna take the Texans plus three over. The Patriots love
the future.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Spens that Texans defense is great. That's what they say.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
That's what they say. It is the best unit left
in the postseason. There is nothing as good as the
Texans defense. They outscored Pittsburgh. Literally, the defense outscored Pittsburgh
twelve to six, two defensive touchdowns. You saw the problems
the Chargers defense. Dave Drake may six points and a
quarterback rating of thirty six in the first half with
(13:27):
an interception and a lost fumble. Offense couldn't back them up.
Both's defense is good. Texans is historic, like the best
statistically we've seen in at least ten years. That is
how good they are. So I will take the three
figure at worse, maybe they lose a game twelve to
ten or something like that. Finally, I'm gonna take the
forty nine ers in the points. Winning in Philadelphia showed
us something. Well, they beat Seattle, I doubt it, but
(13:51):
I don't think I want to lay a touchdown. Even
without George Kittle. Christian McCaffrey good enough to keep this
thing interesting. They only allowed thirteen to Seattle in Week eighteen.
They beat him seventeen thirteen in Week one, so again
could see Seattle winning but not covering a full touchdown.
So I will take all the dogs. Not likely, but
(14:12):
I think, as Colin Toward says when he says something stupid,
hey it's something.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
That's a good out.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Hey, what's something Let me tell you about this. You know,
I could see the Pittsburgh Steelers trading six of their
draft picks to go get Ty Simpson.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
What it's something that is something, Roddie, give us something.
The song of the day.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
This is the song of the day.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Today's song of the Day is Momentum from singers, songwriter
and musician Amy Mann. Because the Petrosen Money Show is
hijacked the middaytime slot on a frog Man Friday, carrying
the momentum of a two and a half hour flex
alert right into Clippers Basketball, who are all of a
sudden one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Who
(15:05):
knew having won four straight and hoping to carry that
momentum into Canada against the Raptors. It's was it Scotia
Bank Arena in Toronto, and our good friend Adam Oslin
will bring his momentum to try to bring you that

diving into those gold coins is David Vess.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Oh, somebody who was barbecuing.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Swat Tuesday he picks up the best Show of the
Year award from the Southern California Sports Broadcasters is a
hero in front of his father in law. And then
Thursday he breaks contract detail news on radio on Dodger
(16:58):
Talk where it's meant to be broken, to the many
Dodger fans regurgitating the information into their mouths like a
mother penguin. The Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker, and David Vasse
remains atop the baseball reporter Ant Hill at the Real
Underscore dv MLB network. You can see him there today
(17:19):
Spectrum Sports and at LA. You can see him there
all the time on your Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity
Hotline Hello, Dave.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Hi, guys, Yes, I feel like I've spent my morning
being the voice of reason around Major League Baseball when
you have small market guys like Jeff Passing crying for
the small market teams out there being their mouthpiece, while
you know there are a lot of small market teams
that even got to the NLCS, like the Milwaukee Brewers
(17:50):
last year.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Yeah, Dave, the quote really bothered me because he said
the players feel like they don't have a chance. I
find that almost impossible to believe when the Indians, the Brewers,
and the Reds all made the postseason last year. Like,
that's just an asinine statement to make to.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Me, Matt, how many players text him what he said?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
They did?
Speaker 5 (18:14):
He?
Speaker 7 (18:14):
Jeff Passen said on McAfee today that he got texts
from players how do we beat the Dodgers? I mean,
that's just a rhetorical question. If you look back the
last two years, the Padres were one win away from
sending the Dodgers home in the NLDS, the Phillies were
(18:35):
one bad throwaway from forcing a Game five in the NLDS,
and the Blue Jays were two outs away from winning
the World Series. So there are a lot of teams
that don't have sho Hao Tani and Freddie Freeman and
now Kyle Tucker that almost beat the Dodgers. And oh,
(18:55):
by the way, who had the best record in the
National League last year? It was the old Milwaukee Brewers.
So to me, that's such a condescending comment by a
guy that is the national voice of baseball when it
comes to information.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
What was the vibe like on the National Network of
Baseball when it comes to information the MLB Network, Dave,
Were they negatively slanted or did they celebrate this for
what we believe it is.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
I feel like there was a little bit more fair
and balanced Petros. But the reality is is outside of
Los Angeles, nobody is happy the Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker.
But here's the kicker. Here is the kicker. The signing
of Tucker and Diaz is not going to increase the Dodgers' payroll,
not much more than last year because they shed significant
(19:47):
payroll this past offseason as well. And what's not going
to change even if you bring in a salary cap,
like so many emotional baseball talking heads are saying today,
I'm not going to change the fact that Shohotani signed
a seven hundred million dollar contract and each of the
next ten years is deferring sixty eight million dollars of
(20:11):
his annual seventy million annually, and the Dodgers are only
on the books for two million dollars a year. That's
what everybody is failing to realize. Otani, if he was
going to sign with the Blue Jays or the Dodgers,
was doing that team a huge favor by accepting sixty
(20:35):
eight million dollars annually to be deferred with the intention
of what the Dodgers have done is to reinvest those
dollars to try to help him win a World Series championship.
Nothing is going to change that. Otani and the Dodgers
have been three steps ahead of everybody the day that
contract was signed.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Yeah, Dave, I think I read the Dodgers are actually
six or seven million dollar under where they were at
the end of last year. So and again, the Mets
spent more money than the Dodgers last year and couldn't
even figure out how to get into the freaking postseason.
So spending money isn't necessarily.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Breaks that right. And it was the Mets that were
going to be willing to pay Kyle Tucker fifty five
million dollars. The Dodgers said, okay, how about five million more?
So the Mets had been spending just as much as
the Dodgers, but they just haven't spent it wisely. So
you're one hundred percent accurate. When do you say that?
Even more so than just passing?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Where at passing? And you're stupid Kansas City bs. The
the one like this, to me, Dave is is a
huge like, this is a big deal for the Dodgers
with Kyle Tucker because this is what they want to do.
They want to do four years and a heck of
a lot more money in your pocket if they can
get this thing to work out and Talker plays great
(21:55):
for these two years. We heard you break it on
the air last night. You had the contract details, the
opt out after year two and year three. Then hopefully
that encourages other players to do the same. Had Bryce
Harper done it, he wouldn't be on the hook for
thirteen years. He'd probably be on the hook for the
same amount of money for like eight or nine. And
if this thing works out, I would assume that's really
good for the Dodgers, because this is what they would
(22:16):
prefer to do right.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
You're right. The Dodgers shot baseball when reports started to
come out they were doing something or offering something similar
to Bryce Harper before he was able to sign that
long term deal with the Phillies, and from what I understand,
Harper gave it a long look. It was interesting to
him at the time, but instead decided that he wanted
(22:39):
to be invested in a city and not move again.
Not so sure about that with Kyle Tucker. He has
no roots in Chicago. How much of the roots is
he going to plan in la He can opt out
after the second year. So it's good for the Dodgers
and it's good for Kyle Tucker because the Bluejays offer
(23:00):
bring him ten years, three hundred million dollars while him
signing this short term contract for two hundred and forty
million dollars. If he stays all four years, if he's
as good as he believes that he is, you're telling
me he can't go back out on the market even
four years from now and get at least one hundred
million dollars more. If he can't, this would not have
(23:22):
been a good four years for Kyle Tucker and the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
What about how he fits in personality wise on the team.
You know there's been talk, you know, you referenced it
that he's maybe not that big of a seam head.
How does he fit in on a team where he
doesn't have to be the biggest star.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Well, I'll want up Jeff passing with the text I
got from a player, a prominent player in baseball, and
he texts me that Kyle Tucker is the highest paid
robin in baseball because that's who he is. He's not
a guy that wants to be in the forefront, and
he doesn't have to be. There's an argument to be
(23:59):
made that he he's the fourth or fifth guy on
this team, So I think that appealed to him as well.
He's a low energy guy and we'll see how he
fits in the clubhouse. I feel like that's the only
question is how is he going to fit into the clubhouse? Well,
the Dodger culture that they've created permeate Tucker, and I
(24:19):
feel like for him to be on this team, he's
going to have to go along with it or he's
going to be on the outside looking in. He's very talented,
but the only question is how is he going to
fit in, and look, if he doesn't fit in, it's
not going to be that long of a time that
he's here in La.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Made thirty three million bucks in his career. Tomorrow he
turns twenty nine and he will celebrate with a guaranteed
two hundred and forty million dollars over four years to
play for the two time defending world champion Dodgers. So
why do they do the deal? Dave? If you know
there are those questions if he's a robin not a bet,
but everybody seemed to suggest that this was the best
(24:59):
for agent on the market. So what is it you
know that they are getting that there is worth sixty
million bucks a year on a four year deal.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
Well, last year, all summer we talked about how poor
the Dodger outfield defense was. Kyle Tucker answers two issues
for the Dodgers from last year. Number One, defense, he'll
be a better right fielder than Taoscar Hernandez and ta
Oscar Hernandez in twenty four was a much better left
(25:28):
fielder than he was a right fielder, and that's where
he flourished in his first year with the Dodgers. So
he makes the Dodgers outfield defense better. And he also
makes the Dodger outfield offense better because, as you guys
are aware, they got virtually nothing out of Michael Conforto.
Taoscar Hernandez was not the same offensive player after he
(25:50):
injured his groin in June. Andy Paz was the only
guy really doing much of anything defensively and offensively in
the outfield. So Drue Freeman made it very clear in
the onset of this offseason that he was not happy
with the Dodgers' offensive production the second half of last
year and going into the postseason where they scored twenty
(26:13):
five runs less than their run to the championship in
twenty four And also another layer to this is if
you look out to the next two free agent classes,
there's really nobody that makes an offensive impact position player wise.
So this was kind of the last guy that can
(26:34):
make a difference if you signed him and he's able
to be as good as he was in Houston.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
What about Bishett Dave? How big of a deal is that?
Does that make the Mets that much better? Is Cohen
laughing at the Dodgers Today?
Speaker 7 (26:47):
A lot of people are saying that it was a
grasp at the leftovers by what the Mets did, and
you got Bob Ningel reported that the Phillies saw they
had the shed for a long term contract seven years,
two hundred million dollars until the Mets came in with
these three years and for Bishet smart contract for him
(27:11):
because he can opt out after one year. And like
I just mentioned, next year's free agent class is Trek
Skoogle and a whole lot of nothing offensively, So he
can go back out on the market and get a
big contract because he'll be the premier position player in
next year's free agent class.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Cool Dodgers can sign him to a three year deal.
That'll be great. Dave, enjoy your tour of puffing out
your chest, celebrating the Dodgers and disparaging Jeff Passon who
says players don't know how to beat the Dodgers, which
is humiliating, embarrassing, and should never come off the lips
of baseball supposed number one insider when doing interviews. We
(27:51):
appreciate it. Congratulations on breaking the new night that nobody
seemed to acknowledge that you were the guy who had
the details first, but we certainly appreciate you.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
Here Dave, Thank you, guys. I appreciate it, and yeah,
I just feel like it's dja vou where everybody's so
emotional and they feel like the sports should shut down.
Couldn't be further from the truth. Baseball is in a
great place and there's a lot of teams that will
compete with the Dodgers, like the Brewers, the Phillies and
the Blue Jays did a year ago.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
David Maasse a hero to all Dodger information seekers. Dave,
thank you and enjoy your weekend. You will be back. Hold.

the Dead Guy. Birthday of the Day.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Happy would have been one hundred and twenty eighth to
Margaret Booth, there is a reason why there is an
oscar given out for editing. It is incredibly important to
put it into perspective.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I mean, how important, not as important as the freedom
trade award, but important.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Important, Yes, not that important, but important. For instance, First Blood,
it was like a three hour movie before the editors
got their hands on it and turned it into a
freaking masterpiece. So we get into old Margie here. All
he wanted was some food and influential American film editor
(31:04):
studio executive who played a major role in shaping Hollywood
during its golden age. Born in Los Angeles, grew up
when the film industry was kind of just getting rolling,
you know.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Now.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Over the course of her sixty year career pee no, no,
all right for Hollywood, she became one of the most
respected figures in the industry in town helped define the
standards of professional film editing. She started working for B. W. Griffith,
one of the pioneers of early filmmaking, as a negative cutter,
which is what you would think. It is, physically cutting
(31:36):
and assembling strips of film, and she was really good
at it. Her attention to detail work ethic quickly set
her apart from other negative cutters. You're not a cutter,
I'm a cutter, okay. She soon moved into editing. Nineteen twenties,
Booth joined MGM. She edited a crap Ton of successful films, dramas, comedies,
(32:02):
literary adaptations, including one of your all time favorites, p
Mutiny on the Bounty.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Well, let's go Frenchick Christian Helen gully Ryde.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
That won the Academy Award for Best Pictures, kept climbing
the ladder. Promoted to Supervising film editor, later new head
of MGM's editing department. She edited films herself, also trained, guided,
and evaluated other editors. Booth became known as the And
this is one of our favorite things. Anytime we can
celebrate someone that is the film editor's editor, that's what
(32:32):
we're all about.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
It was her bill, This is really the editor's editor.
There's the musicians, musician, the drummers, drummer, the guitar player
that your favorite guitar player loves.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Exactly right. She basically schooled Hollywood on how editors could
improve their films by tightening scenes, improving pacing, ensuring clarity
and storytelling. Her opinions were highly valued, and director's producers
regularly fought for her to be their editor. Of course,
(33:06):
a woman at a time when few women held executive
positions in Highywood, but she was just so goddamn good
that she was an executive, was in high demand and
earned widespread respect in what was, of course, in the
thirties forties, a male dominated industry. Her professional standards for
editing are still in effect today, not just a technical
(33:29):
task but a vital part of storytelling that would shape
a film's emotional impact and success. She did receive the
Honorary Academy Award in nineteen seventy eight, and talk about longevity.
She died in two thousand and two p at the
age of one hundred and four. Nineteen eighty two Village
Voice article described her as quote the final authority of
(33:50):
every picture MGM made for thirty years period. In her
obit in The Guardian, it read a pioneer of the
so called invisible cutting, the aim of which was to
make transitions from one image to another as seamless as possible,
the audience unaware of the flow of shots within a sequence.
Narrative dominant, she maintained continuity of time and space. She
(34:14):
maged cuts into action Happy one twenty eighth Margaret.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Booth, they don't make good movies anymore, Matt.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
They don't. You're right about that.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Her technique is dead it's all they don't make movies.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Everything's sol Ai, it's all bs.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Everything's terrible and rabbit ass like Zutopia too.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
I thought you liked that.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
I like the ass. Doctor Laura Matt is seventy one,
seventy nine years old today. Doctor Laura Catherine Schlessinger born
in Brooklyn, raised in Long Island. I'm not unhappy, angry childhood,

A petty father who was unloving, a narcissistic mother, she says.
Doctor Laura went to Stonybrook, got her PhD in physiology
at Colombia, and then once she started giving advice on
the radio, she got a family counseling degree at USC
(35:25):
had a therapist license so she could say I'm doctor Laura.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
Could she if she just got her MFT. I don't
think you're technically a doctor, right, You would have to
like get your.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Well, you know, like you know, like the principal is
the doctor, you know?
Speaker 4 (35:47):

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Ye, doctor Jill Biden.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
Not a real not a real not a real doctor.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Doctor Jill's at the Olympics Hall.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
A show, but a doctor like doctor dre Well. No.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
She called into a KABC show by Bill Balance. He
liked her, He liked her so much he tried to
sell nude pictures of her later in life, and he
gave her a weekly segment. This was in nineteen seventy five.
By nineteen seventy well, it was by nineteen seventy nine.
(36:27):
Doctor Laura was a weekend guy, had a show on
the weekends. Weekend got her big. You call him a
weekend guy. Her big break was as a fill in
for the then nationally syndicated Sally Jesse Raphael oh Nice.
(36:48):
Then she got a job down the Hall of Kafive.
It wasn't down the Hall then, but she got a
job that was a gigantic success, and it became nationally
indicated by nineteen ninety four. Then came the self help
books like Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up
(37:12):
Their Lives, a television show which failed as some controversial
things that she said kind of harpooned her advertising before
she even got on the air. She described her talliance
with CBS and television as a terrible experience. She did
(37:37):
win a Marconi matt which continues.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
To escape us. We were nominated twice, though.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
She's the first woman to win nationally syndicated Radio Personality
of the Year. That was ninety seven one member of
the Hall of Fame, one.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Twenty six men and one woman.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
She has a magazine or did She wrote fourteen books
by twenty ten. She'd gotten a little bit too traditional
for what people consider to be progressive now so mainstream.
They made the jump to serious ExM radio and remains there.
Some of the controversies. Matt her second husband, she left
(38:23):
her husband for, and he left a wife and family
for and he was still married for years while they
were together.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Well that's kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Eventually she ended up, you know, getting him to get
a divorce and then they got married.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Okay. There.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
She had a terrible relationship with her mother and didn't
speak to her mother for twenty years and then her
mother died and had no friends and just they was
in an apartment dead for like two and a half months.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Oh, it's terrible.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Yeah, doctor Laura was unmoved. Did not was like yeah, whatever,
I believe her quote was, how.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
Sad she's a bad guy.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Well, you know, she didn't like her mom. They didn't
have something. Something happened, you know, matter. I don't know,
but doctor Laura continues today a modern day radio success
story which served your time to time. Every once in
a while you'd see doctor Laura.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Yeah, yeap, cruising around doing her thing a KFI no
longer though, no k E I B. I think for
a little while there she was doing it.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
There was a time when we started, when we were
were first starting out. I think she still held I
think she still held down her peace until twenty ten
when she said the N word like five times to
a caller.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
And then that'll do it.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
I don't see what's so bad about it.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
I felt like the situation called for it.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Yeah, doctor Laura. They still talk about her in the
leagues today, do they. Well, we're doing it and at
congratulations to Don McLean who also celebrating his birthday with
some family I believe up in Seattle. Our friend in BFF,
(40:23):
Don McLain, also still discussed in the leagues today. And
we will be back with your final hour fun fact,
the lessons learned and the quick can't stay with us.
