Swing out of it.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Petrosen Money AM five seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. This is our two. It's while you're hearing.
Jacob Miller already did an hour on a Flex Alert.
Rogan and Rodney were out at the Dream Center.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Earlier two Bitterness.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
We are going to be off at five thirty, so
we'll put in three and a half hours today going
into better UCLA basketball. They host IOWA at Pauley Pavilion trying.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Matty, I mean, what about the bitterness between Josh Lewin
and mccronod. It's gonna be coming up in the post
game tonight.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
It's real. You're not gonna want to miss it. And
they're gonna want to see whether or not they can
shake off miserable losses to Maryland and Rutgers, two teams
toward the bottom of the Big Ten that they could
not overcome on the road. Uh, they got blown out
by Michigan at home. That led to a terse exchange
between Mick and Josh Lewin in the post game, and
we'll see whether or not that continues tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Oh yeah, And that that ters exchange is really kind
of a one way highway. Yes, that's true.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
It's not so much an exchange as it is just
a verbal beating, more of a verbal abuses. It's a
great point. It is not an exchange. There is no
exchange of terseness. It's a one way street on the
on the Terse boulevard.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
And we have been abused here in the city by
the flames of a terrible fire and a disaster. We
were out at the Dream Center yesterday. We had a
very gratifying time. Not as gratifying today when we heard
Justin Turner on with Rogan and Rodney, and the bitterness
is real, as Matt said, But the Dream Center in
La there's no bitterness there. They're all sweet and wonderful
them and the iHeartMedia company that's where we work. If
(02:33):
teamed up to help those affected by the fires sweeping
across La County. They are sweeping across in the same
way with help AMPI smity la sports dot com keyword
donate if you want to give money. We saw it
with our own two eyes yesterday, the long lines of donation,
the long lines of receiving, as Matt liked to put,
the egress and ingress of the coming in and out. Yes,
(02:58):
fancy words to explain what was a pretty inspiring scene,
Very very very heartwarming to see what Pastor Matthew and
all of those volunteers and all those people and everybody
was such in a good mood. You know, Matt and
I we do remotes all over. I mean we've done
remotes anywhere you can think of. Right in front of
(03:19):
a big billboard for a crematory. We have been in
parking lots.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Barbell of a deal for a cremation, we might wear,
no doubt, one hundred and sixty bucks.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
You kidne me, no doubt. The point is we've been everywhere,
and we go to restaurants sometimes where there's a lot
of people there to see us, but some people that aren't.
And sometimes when we start talking about people and we start,
you know, warming the room up and getting our getting
our feet under us for great sports talk for a
few hours. You know, sometimes we get some sideways glances.
(03:50):
But there was joy yesterday with the people. They were dancing,
they were waving. If you mentioned somebody, they they were
absolutely thrilled to be mentioned. And yes, Kate's you're it.
Yes we got breaking news. Guys.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
What have we got?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Kates? What have we got? To his own.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Instagram page, Rookie Sasaki announced he has signed with the
Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Horn torn torn horn horn to horn, horn torns, horns,
horn torn torns?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Where it Lucas, Where is Canada? Horn? On this one?
And so did John Paul Morosi. Roki Sasaki, the right
hander from Japan with three suitors, has dropped San Diego,
has dropped the entire country of Canada and corporate deals
(04:42):
that seemed to be on the table and has signed
with the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to his own Instagram
page that just dropped right now.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
From hours I saw this coming. Nobody well, nobody.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Earlier today we were told we were tipped by our tipster,
David Vassay beyond your too's something could happen. It could happen. No,
and it has happened. Now. What does the Instagram page
look like, Caates? Is it a pictures just a statement?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
It's a picture at Dodger Stadium with a Dodger hat
tacking on.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Is where the picture is?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Kate's a chair.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Dodger Stadium with Dodgers in the background, and.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
By that Japanese thing that they brought out of the
basement when they signed Otani. No, no, it's top of
the world. Yeah, it says where it is.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
I have signed a minor league contract with the Los
Angeles Dodgers. It was a very difficult decision, but I
will do my best to make it the right decision
when I look back after my baseball career.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
And Vassay is the one that told us that if
this guy goes to Canada and maybe even to a
certain degree, San Diego. He is hiding unlike Billy Joel.
He's trying to stay away the white hot spot light.
Not the case and this is not no I mean
this is the antithesis of that. And he joined Shoho
(06:08):
Tani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto to create a trilogy, a triumphant
as you would say, matt a holy trinity of Japanese
greatness with the La Dodgers. I would say this adds
at least three more Japanese smack bars to the lows
area alone.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Oh, I was thinking it's one more commercial for Tim
Kates with Eto n Oyosha. There is one more sentence,
by the way to his statement case that he did
not read. Ok, I want to slip my sleeve on
the Dodgers' uniform at the opening conference, thanking everyone supported me.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
This far.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Slip my sleeve.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I'm guessing it's not a translation. It's I think it's
like I want to put on the Dodgers' uniform at
the opening conference and thank everyone that is support.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
That's what I'm guessing.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
The direct translation would be I want to slip my
sleeve on the Dodgers' uniform at the opening conference, as
opposed to I want to put on the Dodgers' uniform.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I'm guessing. Well, I mean, now there's mystery there. I mean,
who knows. I mean, my god, what what is he
talking about? The first comment like a poll away sweats.
You know he's gonna rip them all of the uni.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
One of the earliest comments is from the Padres blogger,
who has a blue check and eighty five thousand followers,
and it reads in all caps on following, Okay, well
I just got to be bumped. Maybe he's like, maybe
I made the wrong decision. Padres blogger is on following me.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yeah, he might flip. You know he has been maybe
he hasn't put into the to the paper yet. The
Padres have got to be upset. There's no doubt because
you Darvish was said to have been recruiting this guy,
and David Vasse told us yesterday that you Darvish is
like a big brother figure to a lot of these
younger Japanese players and seen as a pioneer at least
(08:00):
on the pitching mound for them, because he's still around.
I mean, guys like Ichiro and Nomo are long retired,
and it just feels like if there's a big time
Japanese player, the Dodgers are going to be the one
to sign him. And it's kind of played out the
last couple of years without any glitch in the system,
(08:20):
despite some erroneous reporting from JP Hornstra about a flight.
And I mean, this is going to be even crazier
when the Dodgers open the season in Tokyo. They might
even take Tim Kate.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
That would be something. Let's not get crazy, is it.
And it took me a second to find his Instagram
page because he spells it ro o uk. I'm are
we saying it right? Roki versus Well, man, it's a different,
different alphabet.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I was saying, I think we're saying it right. I
just started following him. Remember when you wanted us to
say poo. I mean, there are a lot of vowels
in there, There's no doubt.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
You know.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
What's interesting is that the reports out of Toronto, where
you guys kind of touched upon this. Maybe Dave can
weigh in more later at four o'clock, is that they
were making a heavy push with the marketing side of it,
with Rogers which owns Yeah, and they were having a
big deal in Japan and he'd be the official spokesperson.
Maybe they were making this huge pish off the field
money for him, an opportunity there to make a ton
(09:23):
of money as opposed to this small contract that he's
signed coming over early from Japan. But obviously that wasn't
enough for him to sign north of the border, because
he still signs with the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
It's got to be frustrating for the rest of the
major leagues.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Well I said that if if this went down that
maybe they would have to figure out some way to
adjust this because the rich just keep getting richer. After
the Dodgers were able to pick up a guy that
would have been affordable for places like Pittsburgh, in Cleveland
and Minneapolis, they could never have a shot to get
the the Otani's or the Yamamotos of the world, to
(10:00):
which many people say, well, it's like a one time thing.
He's twenty three, and most people are just gonna wait
till they're twenty five to get the Yamamoto contract. So
to overreacts a little bit ridiculous. He's already been a
professional player. To tell him, like you tell a sixteen
year old, you know from Columbia, where which organization they
have to be developed in seems a little ridiculous, But
(10:24):
that was the level of frustration that seemed to be
levied against the idea that the Dodgers could somehow add
what would be a franchised changing prospect for the next
six years at a ridiculously affordable number.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
And the other interesting thing is, you know what have
we read in national media and local media, big local
media and the Athletic and places like that recently about
Dodger pitching development. They've been criticized. They've been criticized for
hurting guys and the way that the velocity and all that.
And it's a universal thing in baseball today that guys
(10:59):
are throwing too hard, too young, and their elbows hurt
and all that. But the Dodgers have been called out
individually and specifically, and it doesn't seem to be deterring
anybody from wanting to go and pitch for the La Dodgers,
at least not anybody that they want apparently. I mean,
they've signed Blake Snell, the most accomplished pitcher that was
(11:22):
available out there this offseason, a two time Cy Young
Award winner, and they've signed young, exciting guys that are
up and coming as well, and everybody in between.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
They're a well run organization, and they happen to be
one of, if not the deepest pocketed organization. Everything's locked up.
It's not like the Yankees of the nineties when they
would pluck every major free agent that became available from
small market teams and signed them to just deals that
the team that they currently played for couldn't afford. They
(11:54):
traded for Mookie Betts for another major franchise. That makes
a ton from another major free in chess, that makes
a ton of money.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I remember being on the two Freeway when that happened.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I mean, Freddy Freeman was at an impass with the Braves.
So it's it's there's there's nothing really that that would
suggest that. It's sort of you know, it took fred
rough shot over everybody else.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
It took Freddy a while to warm up to sleeping
in the Dodger's bed and waking up next to Clayton
Kershaw's big horsemouth. It took him a while, but eventually
after he cried it out in Atlanta a couple of
times a.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Couple of months, well, once here and once in Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, all of that all of that kind of dissipated.
And now I mean the guy's had a moment that
is even transcended almost of the Kirk Gibson nineteen eighty
eight moment. I mean against the New York Yankees, for
God's sakes, in Game one of the World Series. And
I don't know if you missed Tim Kates's hat yesterday,
Matt you saw did you see Kate's hat yes day?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I just got the iconic five nothing Yankees had he
was sporting yesterday.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I mean a very very base loaded, two out complicated hat.
You know, it's like a score board. I mean you
really have to look at the hat and then think
in history, I'm imagined you don't have like a I'm
surprised that I would imagine you had like a thirteen
to nine UCLA USC hat. Yeah, from way back in
like oh say he does. It just says eight forty seven. Right,
(13:20):
it's a clock, so it says a digital clock. Is
it digital or is it the round one?
Speaker 5 (13:25):
It's the round one on the back and it says
a forty seven.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
And they both have the same hashtag on the side,
hashtag IYK y K.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
You're so the Dodgers have signed Roki Sasaki. That's got
to be worth another hat for Tim Kates, who is
a Japanese advertising enthusiast, think about this. Matt pointed out.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Three fifths of the Dodgers' rotation now Japanese pitchers.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
If when Otani returns, and it's not three fifths, Kates,
it's fifty percent because you know they're going to a
six man rotation.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Oh why direct? Yeah, that might piss off Blake's now,
but he told us on the air that it wouldn't
that he's pitched all kind of rotations.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Hey, dog, whatever they want, Dog, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
That is exactly what he said. That's the exact quote.
All right. So we'll do word number a little later
in the show because we just had that breaking news
of Roki Sasaki. Will stay on top of that, and
we'll talk to Don McClain in the very next segment.
We'll talk to David Vasse still at the top of
the hours that correct him. Yes, okay, so we'll do
(14:33):
all all of that stuff, but we could still do
the Song of the Day with Ronnie, right, Yeah, Ronnie,
this is.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
The Song of the Day.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Sailors of Neptune or a three piece band from the
land of Orange County with our song of the day
called Farewell because we've arrived at a frog Man Friday
on the Petrosen Money Show, sailing the seas of great sports,
talk for three and a half hours as we say

a Dodger. David Vasse has been all over it. Feel
like he.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Knew all along but didn't want to let on what
he knew. Feels like Canada made a real push late,
but it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Enough and now they got like two point three million
Canadian The hell we're gonna do with this?
Speaker 3 (15:55):

first two. But we're gonna put that on hold for
a moment. Big breaking news and the Dodger World mes
say will join us in about a half hour. Right now,
(17:44):
it's time for our bff sign for the one and
only Don McLean. Yes, the leading scorer in the history
of the Pac ten and twelve celebrated a birthday yesterday,
Beloved all over the Southland and West Coast and beyond.
He's got the UCLA game tonight on the Big ten network.
(18:05):
Iowa Ucla been putting in work. Oh it's on FS
one tonight. How about that? Cast me outside, Don. He's
also the Baron of Box Canyon and the next ass

Park in Siam Valley reminds us of his mid range greatness.
(18:29):
And of course he works at Fan Duel Sports FS one,
the big ten Network and CAA. It's Don McClain on
a southern California Toyota Dealer celebrity hotline.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Hello, Don, I am in fact pulling into UCLA right now.
Petros for the highest scoring team in the Big Ten
in Iowa versus the team that gives up the least
amount of points in the Big Ten UCLA. Something's got
to give tonight, guys in Westwood, that's good.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
You should lead with that.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
My god, what a great I think we just heard
the open.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Wow, that is a pretty sweet. Uh. Is this your
first game on FS one ever?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Wow. They're gonna bring you a cake because it was
your birthday yesterday too.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
It's gonna be sweet.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
No, yeah, you know what we you know what we
are doing tonight, and I'll let you guys comment on it.
I'm not going to Martin Charmond is joining us on
the broadcast tonight.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Oh, that's gonna be great. That's never awkward, Right, somebody
does like a Tomahawk dunk and he's in the middle
of talking about the crew team. Yeah, yeah, gonna be sweet.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Maybe Kate's wants to comment on that. I'm gonna shit
that one out too.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Martin jarmon great interview a lot of energy. Uh, not
as much as Don McClain calling a basketball game gonna
be great tonight on f S one U c l
A Iowa. Don gave us a little bit of a
of a precursor there, the highest scoring team and and
the team that gives up the least amount of points.
We know mc cronin's teams are defensive. Mick has been
kind of defensive the last week or so. As UCLA
(20:07):
is in a four game free fall, the travel and
the new conference seem to be catching up to them.
They're going to be able to pull themselves out of
this like they have in the past.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Don you know it's funny you just said that, Fee,
because I've been looking at all their stuff obviously today
and last night, and it's hard to pinpoint and the
only thing that I could maybe it's the travel, and
maybe it's a step up and level of competition, but
it's not one thing. It's not like they're playing terrible.
The Michigan game, they didn't play well, but Michigan might
(20:36):
be the best team in the Big Ten. But their
defense is what they always rely on, and it's just
a tick below what it normally is their offense, which
isn't great. They're not a great shooting team, but even
that's a tick below and when you're talking about the
Big Ten, like you can get away with that in
the Pac twelve because it just wasn't a strong top
(20:58):
top to bottom, but in the Big Ten, and there's
really no easy outs ever, and so if you're not
where do you need to be on both sides of
the ball, especially on the road, you're probably not gonna win.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Is it how big of a jump in competition do
you think it is done? Because a lot of it
is stylistic and a lot of people thought that USIA
was going to fit right in with their defense, and
is it any of that? Do you think is there
a bit of a you know, I guess shock of
style that they're now having to contend with, especially in
conference play, game in and game out.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Well, I've been really staying in tune, Matt and not
really passing any judgment or really even commenting on what
I thought about the Big Ten Conference as a whole
versus what I and we have watched for the last
however many years in the PAC twelve. But I think
now's the time and some conclusions I've come to is
(21:53):
it's not as physical as I thought it was going
to be. It's still physical and more physical than the
Pact twelve, but it's not as fit ysicals I thought
it would be. The talent level across the board, it's
not close. If you're talking about every team in the
conference in the PAC twelve versus every team in the
Big Ten, it's not close in terms of level of talent.
(22:14):
And then the last thing I'd say, rebounding is the
biggest thing in the Big Ten. It's not even really
the physicality. It's if you can rebound, you're gonna win.
If you can't rebound, you're probably not gonna win.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Interesting stuff from Don McClain, drawing conclusions. As we approach
February here in the world of college basketball, we'll take
a shift. You can see Don on FS one tonight,
Ucla Iowa gonna be very exciting. We'll see if they
bring them a cake. Don, The Lakers won, but man,
it feels just kind of like a really bumpy road
(22:50):
for them. And JJ Reddick, of course, you know everybody,
as you know, have been affected by the fires. You
were in last week hosting a show with us while
I was raging in town, and I mean, where where
do you think the Lakers go? For me, It's just
it doesn't feel like anything's going to happen that makes
them a real contender.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
It doesn't seem that way. But we're only what thirty
seven thirty eight games in, so not quite half the season,
so things could change, and maybe whatever JJ Reddick's trying
to get them to do, they'll get better at as
time goes on. But you just watch them in the
in the inconsistency, it's hard to imagine them contending for
(23:30):
a championship. But you do see flashes of them playing
really good and they've beaten some good teams, but you
just don't see the level that okay see plays with
every night, like they well, whatever their record is, thirty
four and six or whatever it is, and like that
that you would you would think has more of a
chance to win a championship. Obviously, but we'll see. I
(23:53):
mean they have, they have, They have good enough players
to be better than they are, and maybe they'll get there.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I think it was the sat Berry told us this,
So if it's a stupid stat, blame him, not me.
I believe he said it was the seventh largest point
differential in the history of the NBA, fifty nine points
Clippers over Nets. In your career done, can you remember
blowing a team out by anything close to that or
(24:21):
losing a game by anything close to one shy of sixty?
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Well, I was on the ninety two to ninety six
Washington Bullets. So if there's if there's six, if there's
six blowouts ahead of that one the other night, I
might have been on it. I'm not sure, but yeah,
it's Look but you look at you look at the
box score of that game, which I did obviously. I mean,
I know who they are, but I guarantee you ninety
(24:48):
nine percent of people that look at that box score
don't know who most of those players are in their
NBA players, So they're in a complete rebuild. Scores don't matter,
wins and losses don't matter, and the Clippers took advantage
of it.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
How how do you think Kawhi looks? Is he Kawhi
but only limited minutes? Is he a guy that's still
trying to work his way back? Because it seems like
our guy Adam very excited about how just eyeball test
Leonard looks out on the court.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
He looks I'll tell you what he does look, which
is unusual for a guy that's been out for so long.
He looks like he's in really good condition, Like he
looks thinner to me. Now, I think he's working it.
So I think he's on a minutes well I know
he's on a minutes restriction, but I also think he's
trying to work himself back into rhythm. I don't think
he's looked bad, but look, Kawhi Leonard said a pretty
(25:39):
high standard for himself over the years, So I think
it's gonna be both that he'll keep ramping up the
minutes while his game will continue to ramp up.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Do you think the Clippers are going to become a
story in the second half of the season if he
can stay healthy. Do you think that it will be
something that people start talking about and they'll start coming
out to that crazy dome.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Well, what's going to be interesting, Pee is everybody's pretty
much in agreement that they have overachieved this year because
Kawhi missed most of the season so far and to
have the record that they have, everybody was a little surprised,
me included. But now the narrative changes because he's back,
so it's now it's not if they go twenty and
seventeen again, that won't be as as good of a
(26:22):
story as it was to start the year. So it'll
be interesting to see the impact of Kawhi and does
their one loss record get better with him in there
once he's able to go full go and play most
of the knights or play most of the minutes.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Hey, sorry to scramble back to the game you're calling tonight,
don but I should have thought of it when you
said it Ucla Iowa. Tonight you mentioned the one thing
that you've been able to take away having seen enough
Big Ten games now is rebounding wins. Does UCLA rebound
the ball well enough to win in the Big Ten?
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Well, we're going to find out. And you know, I
but I with them. That's an overall statement. Now, you
can still win games without rebounding. But I guess what
I meant when I said earlier is if you're not
a good rebounding team, you're not gonna win. Is UCLA
a bad rebounding team? No? But are they a great
rebounding team? No? Like USC is not a very good
(27:17):
rebounding team. But guess what, they rebounded well against Illinois
and Iowa and they won both games. That's kind of
my point. So I think UCLA has the personnel to
be a good enough rebounding team. Iowa was the worst
rebounding team in the league, but that just tells you
how good they are offensively, Like they are negative five
a game rebounding Iowa. But they're three and three in
the conference right now. But that's just because they're an
(27:40):
elite offensive team with all these elite shooters all over
the court. But they can't ever win the conference because
they can't rebound. There's zero chance Iowa can ever win
the conference this year because they will just get blasted
on the glass by Purdue in Michigan State, Illinois and
all them. So to answer your question, I think UCLA
can rebound well enough to go along with their elite
(28:02):
defense when it's right to win. Do I think they're
going to win the conference? No, I don't.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Blasts on the glass. The great Don McClaine on FS
one tonight Ucla Iowa. Don you used to own a
sandwich place at UCLA. You obviously are legend on campus
there for many many years. Is there a place you
like to go when you call a game there? Maybe
like a small grove or a little grassy area where
(28:30):
you go and reflect on your life, you know, and
and things you know, especially birthday yesterday, anything like that.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Let me think about that. No, I pull in, do
the game, get back to my car, and go home.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
What did you do for your birthday? Don anything exciting?
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Well I flew home from Seattle, and then I did
some stuff and then went to dinner with the family,
and that was that.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Okay, you didn't go to Lemont Park. Can sit by
your statue and have a quiet moment of contemplation there.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
No, I got in my car, went to dinner, got
in my car again, and came home last night.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
So if I go out to Lemon Park, I'm not
going to see you reading a paperback or anything out
there having a little moment Oh inner excellence, Oh be beautiful?
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Yeah no, no you won't.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
All right, well, we'll see enjoy the game tonights. Money.
I really like the shady grove here more towards the sunsets.
Uh uh, We love you. Don have a great night,
happy birthday, and have a great call.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
All right, Thanks guys. See it.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I thought for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I hope they give him a cake and make it awkward.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I don't think he knows anybody well on it.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Why don't you text somebody? Petros Well know everybody at
Fox Great TV. As Don has to react and be
excited about a cake. It's his first game on a
best one. It like says welcome to the team and
a happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Come on. I will text please whom to find out
who's producing. That's what I need to know first, and
then I can go from there. All right, we'll be back.
We're gonna do the word and number coming up next,
and then we'll get to vassa Roki Sasaki as a Dodger.
Roki Sasaki signed with the Dodgers. The Japanese Holy Trinity
(30:26):
of Yamamoto, Yamamoto, Otani and Sasaki or something. We're all
gonna have to get used to saying. It's not easy.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
dB coming up in our next segment. David Vasse has
benomalous every single day this week, speculating on what could
happen with Roki Sasaki now that his window to sign
with a major League baseball team opened on January fifteenth,
and said he thought it would happened relatively soon, and
in fact it did about an hour ago. We got
the news that Roki Sasaki is a Dodger. So he
(31:08):
will give us all the details on how it happened,
why it happened, and what it means perhaps for guys
like Key k Hernandez and some other free agents that
we've been keeping an eye on moving forward. That'll be
in our very next segment.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Well, Matt, they have him under control for six years.
Like one Otani signed with the Angels, he was there
for six years. That's because they leave Japan and signed
with the MWB teams before the age of twenty nine.
It's or twenty five. Excuse me, that's the rule. It's
(31:43):
to deter the young players from leaving Japan. But he
is leaving anyway. He's six foot three and his fastball
is topped out and one hundred and two miles per hour.
The average is in the upper nineties. That is why
we've been monitoring this for the last set days. Three
days into the international signing window and Roki Sasaki chooses
(32:07):
the Dodgers. Huge news and terrible news from from Don McClain.
He says he's not gonna tell us who's producing the game.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Even more, even more I could find that reach out
to you. Yeah, you'll be able to find out easy.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
I just want to know so I can create in roads.
I'm not it's too late to buy a cake. No,
it's not.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
They can hit up the Johns. There's a John's grocery
right up the road there. Get one of those do
it yourself.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
There's in Westwood.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah, it's beautiful. It's right next to the OZ.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Are you sure?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Hjhs that good John's Bakery cake for him.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
That's the big news on Sasaki. You know, I thought
you would find this interest sting mad. If we're going
to do it the word and number of the day, right,
let's do it. I mean, see here talking about society.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
I got a number. I want to I want to
pat ourselves on the basket.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
I want to get the number of the day.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
I thought we're doing. We're doing word first, right. Yeah.
I don't want to pat anybody on the back of myself.
I don't, but his words. The word of the day, Matt.
The word of the day today is high Desert. Last
night it was popping off in the High Desert while
we were watching that crazy car chase, which was with
(33:32):
no cars, all dirt bikes yesterday while the dirt biking
was going on. That have st Tim Kates so much?
Get a load of this A Wild West story. Two
teenage boys sixteen and seventeen swooped four hundred and eight
thousand dollars worth of Nike's from a train. That from
(33:54):
a train. Oh I love a freight train robbery, train robbery,
Matt Old School, Jesse James, freight train robbery box car
Bertha style. It all went down in the Morongo Basin.
That's right, twenty nine palms adjacent. You know, Brogan and
Roddy are headed out there. The BNSF freight train saw
(34:19):
that it was being robbed, called the cops last night.
And the cops who were on their way, you're on
your way to a robbery, and you see a white
van driving away. That's kind of suspicious, right, So they
flipped a t and they followed the white van in
Wonder Valley. The van gave chase. The cops gave chase
(34:41):
to the van. The van got held up on a
dirt brim and spilled out two youths and they got
out on a foot bail and they got snatched up
inside the van four hundred and eight dollars worth of shoes.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
Like what.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
I mean, assuming it's like some sort of of wacky
exclusive watsono Euler type purple Haze Nike kind of thing,
right in.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
A freight train in Wonder Valley, that's one hundred and
eight thousand worth.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
How do you get four hundred and eight thousand dollars
worth of shoes.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
You're talking about, Say they're one hundred.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Dollarseen one hundred pair of shoes.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
That's right, Matt, and that could fill up that van.
There was another car that they stopped that they saw
driving down. I mean, this is a sparsely, sparsely occupied
area in our state. Not a lot of people in
the Wonder Valley. I don't know if you've driven around
out there in Morongo matter had any reason to. It's
(35:38):
not like we talk about ninety minutes down to ten
from wherever you are. Another car in the same jurisdiction
got stopped on Old Woman's Springs Road and that person
foot veiled and escaped, and the cops think that that
person was allegedly also involved in the Nike shoe train robbery. Seela,
(35:59):
come I here, sparsely populated out there. Good luck finding me.
You're gonna have to be like a coyote to find me.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Coppa tough teas copa. So it's uh, hit the road
and found some brush.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
I thought that was kind of an you know, we
we do monitor all the local crime, and I thought
that was a very interesting story as far as you know,
a train robbery an area where, for mal we're familiar
with four hundred and eight thousand dollars worth of Nikes.
Four hundred and eight thousand dollars How.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Much your nikes these days, like the expensive ones? Are
they like two hundred fifty bucks?
Speaker 3 (36:34):
I guess yeah, so that would knock it down to
seven hundred peers. Sheeeese. But Matt, I mean, if you
think about it, this is the most impactful robbery story
we've had from the Coachella Moreno Valley you know, or
out there San Bernardino Wonder Valley is really what we're
talking about. Since those two recruits from Beaumont stole all
(36:55):
the Jesus pieces from the Colorado team at the Rose
Bull That's right, and then their football bus got pulled
over on the way to the playoff game and the
two dudes got arrested in full pat.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Right in front of everybody, a moment they'll never forget.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
All right, let's do some back padding. The number of
the day, number of the day.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
Number.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
The day is forty eight, forty eight hours from now. Listen,
Petros and Money Show has always been ahead of the curve.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Always. Don't ever forget that.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
When a bunch of hosts around town decided that they
were going to start their own TikTok page, huh, and
they were going to grow their brand via TikTok, and
we said, that's the dumbest thing we've ever heard of.
We're not doing TikTok. The Petros Money Show is staying loyal.
We've been MySpace since day one and we're sticking with
my Space. And who's laughing now, because forty eight hours
(37:47):
from now, TikTok.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Will be banned.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
The Supreme Court up holds the band TikTok is out,
Chinese diss and misinformation won't be sent and Americans won't
be subjected to it. From Byte Dance and the Petrosen
Money Show knew it all along, all the people that said,
you guys got to join TikTok. That's the social platform
that really makes the waves. And we said, no, that's
(38:09):
not for us. My Space is for us. That's our
social media platform.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Fools.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
And now who's laughing?
Speaker 3 (38:17):
We saw the riding on the wall when they arrested Jello.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Ball, exactly right, rest that guy for stealing sunglasses, you
kidd me, so way to go, Petrosen Money Show once
again recognizing the true value of a viable social media platform.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
So what happens to you? I mean, we know what
happens to all the billionaires that were working on MySpace, Matt,
there's still very much attacked like us. But what happens
to you if you are making all this money is
waving your puzzo around on TikTok doing all the silly dances.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
So what do you do?
Speaker 3 (38:52):
You jump to YouTube, you jump to Instagram?
Speaker 4 (38:54):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (38:54):
I believe a lot of people are making the move
over to YouTube and YouTube show Blue Sky I think
is more of a Twitter alternative. I think the TikTok
alternative is a place called Red Red Note, and it's
a but which is injuring because it's a Chinese company
as well. I think it's a very similar algorithm and
(39:15):
runs very similarly to TikTok.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
But not as Chinese, more like Panda Express. You know,
I think it's as opposed to the Emperor's Palace.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
I think still very Chinese, which is why people are like, well,
why is it? It's the number one app right now
and all the app stores. They do say that, like,
this could go one of two ways, to be just
straightforward about what I've read, because my daughter's got a
ton of freaking TikTok followers, is that it may just
continue to exist. The app store won't allow any updates. Uh,
(39:46):
they won't allow anybody new to download the app, and
you'll just continue to be able to make content and
distribute content and make money off your content until eventually
it gets too buggy and keeps, you know, shutting down
with the different updates for the different smart devices. Or
they say it is very possible that TikTok just throws
up a we've been banned in the US. You can
(40:07):
no longer access our content on Sunday when that deadline hits.
So it could go one of those two ways.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Like Cheech and Chong where they sell all their weed products,
but not to Idaho, right, yeah, exactly, Idaho. You could
do the the that's not a big market for China.
They don't need not at all.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
I think they'll be fine. I mean, you know, look
a look at how well they're doing without Indonesia. You
know that band hit like six months ago and they're
still totally fine. So if they can survive Indonesia, they
can totally survive the US.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Indonesia is quite large. We learned that on the show.
We'll be right back with David Masse on the iHeartRadio
app and on AM five seventy LA Sports. The Dodgers
have made huge waves again. It's almost unfair, man, man.
They've signed Roki Sasaki, right handed picture, beloved in Japan,

Petrosen Money AM five seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on

Jacob Miller already did an hour on a Flex Alert.
Rogan and Rodney were out at the Dream Center.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Earlier two Bitterness.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
We are going to be off at five thirty, so
we'll put in three and a half hours today going
into better UCLA basketball. They host IOWA at Pauley Pavilion trying.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Matty, I mean, what about the bitterness between Josh Lewin
and mccronod. It's gonna be coming up in the post
game tonight.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
It's real. You're not gonna want to miss it. And
they're gonna want to see whether or not they can
shake off miserable losses to Maryland and Rutgers, two teams
toward the bottom of the Big Ten that they could
not overcome on the road. Uh, they got blown out
by Michigan at home. That led to a terse exchange
between Mick and Josh Lewin in the post game, and
we'll see whether or not that continues tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Oh yeah, And that that ters exchange is really kind
of a one way highway. Yes, that's true.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
It's not so much an exchange as it is just
a verbal beating, more of a verbal abuses. It's a
great point. It is not an exchange. There is no
exchange of terseness. It's a one way street on the
on the Terse boulevard.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
And we have been abused here in the city by
the flames of a terrible fire and a disaster. We
were out at the Dream Center yesterday. We had a
very gratifying time. Not as gratifying today when we heard
Justin Turner on with Rogan and Rodney, and the bitterness
is real, as Matt said, But the Dream Center in
La there's no bitterness there. They're all sweet and wonderful
them and the iHeartMedia company that's where we work. If
(02:33):
teamed up to help those affected by the fires sweeping
across La County. They are sweeping across in the same
way with help AMPI smity la sports dot com keyword
donate if you want to give money. We saw it
with our own two eyes yesterday, the long lines of donation,
the long lines of receiving, as Matt liked to put,
the egress and ingress of the coming in and out. Yes,
(02:58):
fancy words to explain what was a pretty inspiring scene,
Very very very heartwarming to see what Pastor Matthew and
all of those volunteers and all those people and everybody
was such in a good mood. You know, Matt and
I we do remotes all over. I mean we've done
remotes anywhere you can think of. Right in front of
(03:19):
a big billboard for a crematory. We have been in
parking lots.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Barbell of a deal for a cremation, we might wear,
no doubt, one hundred and sixty bucks.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
You kidne me, no doubt. The point is we've been everywhere,
and we go to restaurants sometimes where there's a lot
of people there to see us, but some people that aren't.
And sometimes when we start talking about people and we start,
you know, warming the room up and getting our getting
our feet under us for great sports talk for a
few hours. You know, sometimes we get some sideways glances.
(03:50):
But there was joy yesterday with the people. They were dancing,
they were waving. If you mentioned somebody, they they were
absolutely thrilled to be mentioned. And yes, Kate's you're it.
Yes we got breaking news. Guys.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
What have we got?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Kates? What have we got? To his own.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Instagram page, Rookie Sasaki announced he has signed with the
Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Horn torn torn horn horn to horn, horn torns, horns,
horn torn torns?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Where it Lucas, Where is Canada? Horn? On this one?
And so did John Paul Morosi. Roki Sasaki, the right
hander from Japan with three suitors, has dropped San Diego,
has dropped the entire country of Canada and corporate deals
(04:42):
that seemed to be on the table and has signed
with the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to his own Instagram
page that just dropped right now.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
From hours I saw this coming. Nobody well, nobody.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Earlier today we were told we were tipped by our tipster,
David Vassay beyond your too's something could happen. It could happen. No,
and it has happened. Now. What does the Instagram page
look like, Caates? Is it a pictures just a statement?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
It's a picture at Dodger Stadium with a Dodger hat
tacking on.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Is where the picture is?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Kate's a chair.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Dodger Stadium with Dodgers in the background, and.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
By that Japanese thing that they brought out of the
basement when they signed Otani. No, no, it's top of
the world. Yeah, it says where it is.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
I have signed a minor league contract with the Los
Angeles Dodgers. It was a very difficult decision, but I
will do my best to make it the right decision
when I look back after my baseball career.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
And Vassay is the one that told us that if
this guy goes to Canada and maybe even to a
certain degree, San Diego. He is hiding unlike Billy Joel.
He's trying to stay away the white hot spot light.
Not the case and this is not no I mean
this is the antithesis of that. And he joined Shoho
(06:08):
Tani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto to create a trilogy, a triumphant
as you would say, matt a holy trinity of Japanese
greatness with the La Dodgers. I would say this adds
at least three more Japanese smack bars to the lows
area alone.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Oh, I was thinking it's one more commercial for Tim
Kates with Eto n Oyosha. There is one more sentence,
by the way to his statement case that he did
not read. Ok, I want to slip my sleeve on
the Dodgers' uniform at the opening conference, thanking everyone supported me.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
This far.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Slip my sleeve.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I'm guessing it's not a translation. It's I think it's
like I want to put on the Dodgers' uniform at
the opening conference and thank everyone that is support.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
That's what I'm guessing.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
The direct translation would be I want to slip my
sleeve on the Dodgers' uniform at the opening conference, as
opposed to I want to put on the Dodgers' uniform.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I'm guessing. Well, I mean, now there's mystery there. I mean,
who knows. I mean, my god, what what is he
talking about? The first comment like a poll away sweats.
You know he's gonna rip them all of the uni.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
One of the earliest comments is from the Padres blogger,
who has a blue check and eighty five thousand followers,
and it reads in all caps on following, Okay, well
I just got to be bumped. Maybe he's like, maybe
I made the wrong decision. Padres blogger is on following me.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yeah, he might flip. You know he has been maybe
he hasn't put into the to the paper yet. The
Padres have got to be upset. There's no doubt because
you Darvish was said to have been recruiting this guy,
and David Vasse told us yesterday that you Darvish is
like a big brother figure to a lot of these
younger Japanese players and seen as a pioneer at least
(08:00):
on the pitching mound for them, because he's still around.
I mean, guys like Ichiro and Nomo are long retired,
and it just feels like if there's a big time
Japanese player, the Dodgers are going to be the one
to sign him. And it's kind of played out the
last couple of years without any glitch in the system,
(08:20):
despite some erroneous reporting from JP Hornstra about a flight.
And I mean, this is going to be even crazier
when the Dodgers open the season in Tokyo. They might
even take Tim Kate.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
That would be something. Let's not get crazy, is it.
And it took me a second to find his Instagram
page because he spells it ro o uk. I'm are
we saying it right? Roki versus Well, man, it's a different,
different alphabet.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I was saying, I think we're saying it right. I
just started following him. Remember when you wanted us to
say poo. I mean, there are a lot of vowels
in there, There's no doubt.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
You know.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
What's interesting is that the reports out of Toronto, where
you guys kind of touched upon this. Maybe Dave can
weigh in more later at four o'clock, is that they
were making a heavy push with the marketing side of it,
with Rogers which owns Yeah, and they were having a
big deal in Japan and he'd be the official spokesperson.
Maybe they were making this huge pish off the field
money for him, an opportunity there to make a ton
(09:23):
of money as opposed to this small contract that he's
signed coming over early from Japan. But obviously that wasn't
enough for him to sign north of the border, because
he still signs with the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
It's got to be frustrating for the rest of the
major leagues.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Well I said that if if this went down that
maybe they would have to figure out some way to
adjust this because the rich just keep getting richer. After
the Dodgers were able to pick up a guy that
would have been affordable for places like Pittsburgh, in Cleveland
and Minneapolis, they could never have a shot to get
the the Otani's or the Yamamotos of the world, to
(10:00):
which many people say, well, it's like a one time thing.
He's twenty three, and most people are just gonna wait
till they're twenty five to get the Yamamoto contract. So
to overreacts a little bit ridiculous. He's already been a
professional player. To tell him, like you tell a sixteen
year old, you know from Columbia, where which organization they
have to be developed in seems a little ridiculous, But
(10:24):
that was the level of frustration that seemed to be
levied against the idea that the Dodgers could somehow add
what would be a franchised changing prospect for the next
six years at a ridiculously affordable number.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
And the other interesting thing is, you know what have
we read in national media and local media, big local
media and the Athletic and places like that recently about
Dodger pitching development. They've been criticized. They've been criticized for
hurting guys and the way that the velocity and all that.
And it's a universal thing in baseball today that guys
(10:59):
are throwing too hard, too young, and their elbows hurt
and all that. But the Dodgers have been called out
individually and specifically, and it doesn't seem to be deterring
anybody from wanting to go and pitch for the La Dodgers,
at least not anybody that they want apparently. I mean,
they've signed Blake Snell, the most accomplished pitcher that was
(11:22):
available out there this offseason, a two time Cy Young
Award winner, and they've signed young, exciting guys that are
up and coming as well, and everybody in between.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
They're a well run organization, and they happen to be
one of, if not the deepest pocketed organization. Everything's locked up.
It's not like the Yankees of the nineties when they
would pluck every major free agent that became available from
small market teams and signed them to just deals that
the team that they currently played for couldn't afford. They
(11:54):
traded for Mookie Betts for another major franchise. That makes
a ton from another major free in chess, that makes
a ton of money.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I remember being on the two Freeway when that happened.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I mean, Freddy Freeman was at an impass with the Braves.
So it's it's there's there's nothing really that that would
suggest that. It's sort of you know, it took fred
rough shot over everybody else.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
It took Freddy a while to warm up to sleeping
in the Dodger's bed and waking up next to Clayton
Kershaw's big horsemouth. It took him a while, but eventually
after he cried it out in Atlanta a couple of
times a.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Couple of months, well, once here and once in Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, all of that all of that kind of dissipated.
And now I mean the guy's had a moment that
is even transcended almost of the Kirk Gibson nineteen eighty
eight moment. I mean against the New York Yankees, for
God's sakes, in Game one of the World Series. And
I don't know if you missed Tim Kates's hat yesterday,
Matt you saw did you see Kate's hat yes day?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I just got the iconic five nothing Yankees had he
was sporting yesterday.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I mean a very very base loaded, two out complicated hat.
You know, it's like a score board. I mean you
really have to look at the hat and then think
in history, I'm imagined you don't have like a I'm
surprised that I would imagine you had like a thirteen
to nine UCLA USC hat. Yeah, from way back in
like oh say he does. It just says eight forty seven. Right,
(13:20):
it's a clock, so it says a digital clock. Is
it digital or is it the round one?
Speaker 5 (13:25):
It's the round one on the back and it says
a forty seven.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
And they both have the same hashtag on the side,
hashtag IYK y K.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
You're so the Dodgers have signed Roki Sasaki. That's got
to be worth another hat for Tim Kates, who is
a Japanese advertising enthusiast, think about this. Matt pointed out.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Three fifths of the Dodgers' rotation now Japanese pitchers.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
If when Otani returns, and it's not three fifths, Kates,
it's fifty percent because you know they're going to a
six man rotation.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Oh why direct? Yeah, that might piss off Blake's now,
but he told us on the air that it wouldn't
that he's pitched all kind of rotations.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Hey, dog, whatever they want, Dog, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
That is exactly what he said. That's the exact quote.
All right. So we'll do word number a little later
in the show because we just had that breaking news
of Roki Sasaki. Will stay on top of that, and
we'll talk to Don McClain in the very next segment.
We'll talk to David Vasse still at the top of
the hours that correct him. Yes, okay, so we'll do
(14:33):
all all of that stuff, but we could still do
the Song of the Day with Ronnie, right, Yeah, Ronnie,
this is.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
The Song of the Day.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Sailors of Neptune or a three piece band from the
land of Orange County with our song of the day
called Farewell because we've arrived at a frog Man Friday
on the Petrosen Money Show, sailing the seas of great sports,
talk for three and a half hours as we say

a Dodger. David Vasse has been all over it. Feel
like he.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Knew all along but didn't want to let on what
he knew. Feels like Canada made a real push late,
but it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Enough and now they got like two point three million
Canadian The hell we're gonna do with this?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I mean, I don't know, invest in another season at
Degrassi Junior High. I don't know. Let you know them,
then I pay off. Look, well, look what it did

am accused of doing terrible things, and I'm suing the
music industry.

I'm taking Ryan Reynolds down that too.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Don McClain is going to join us next, and then
we'll do a word number song. We'll talk to Vassa,
we'll talk some NFL. We'll keep it going on the
Petro Somebody show on AMPI seventy LA Sports, your home
of the Dodgers, who hast Ronny said they signed Roki
Sasaki and then Roddy said, let's go.

a moment. Big breaking news and the Dodger World mes

(17:44):

only Don McLean. Yes, the leading scorer in the history
of the Pac ten and twelve celebrated a birthday yesterday,
Beloved all over the Southland and West Coast and beyond.
He's got the UCLA game tonight on the Big ten network.
(18:05):
Iowa Ucla been putting in work. Oh it's on FS
one tonight. How about that? Cast me outside, Don. He's
also the Baron of Box Canyon and the next ass
he kisses will be the first. His statue in Lemon
Park in Siam Valley reminds us of his mid range greatness.
(18:29):
And of course he works at Fan Duel Sports FS one,
the big ten Network and CAA. It's Don McClain on
a southern California Toyota Dealer celebrity hotline.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Hello, Don, I am in fact pulling into UCLA right now.
Petros for the highest scoring team in the Big Ten
in Iowa versus the team that gives up the least
amount of points in the Big Ten UCLA. Something's got
to give tonight, guys in Westwood, that's good.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
You should lead with that.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
My god, what a great I think we just heard
the open.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Wow, that is a pretty sweet. Uh. Is this your
first game on FS one ever?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Wow. They're gonna bring you a cake because it was
your birthday yesterday too.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
It's gonna be sweet.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
No, yeah, you know what we you know what we
are doing tonight, and I'll let you guys comment on it.
I'm not going to Martin Charmond is joining us on
the broadcast tonight.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Oh, that's gonna be great. That's never awkward, Right, somebody
does like a Tomahawk dunk and he's in the middle
of talking about the crew team. Yeah, yeah, gonna be sweet.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Maybe Kate's wants to comment on that. I'm gonna shit
that one out too.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Martin jarmon great interview a lot of energy. Uh, not
as much as Don McClain calling a basketball game gonna
be great tonight on f S one U c l
A Iowa. Don gave us a little bit of a
of a precursor there, the highest scoring team and and
the team that gives up the least amount of points.
We know mc cronin's teams are defensive. Mick has been
kind of defensive the last week or so. As UCLA
(20:07):
is in a four game free fall, the travel and
the new conference seem to be catching up to them.
They're going to be able to pull themselves out of
this like they have in the past.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Don you know it's funny you just said that, Fee,
because I've been looking at all their stuff obviously today
and last night, and it's hard to pinpoint and the
only thing that I could maybe it's the travel, and
maybe it's a step up and level of competition, but
it's not one thing. It's not like they're playing terrible.
The Michigan game, they didn't play well, but Michigan might
(20:36):
be the best team in the Big Ten. But their
defense is what they always rely on, and it's just
a tick below what it normally is their offense, which
isn't great. They're not a great shooting team, but even
that's a tick below and when you're talking about the
Big Ten, like you can get away with that in
the Pac twelve because it just wasn't a strong top
(20:58):
top to bottom, but in the Big Ten, and there's
really no easy outs ever, and so if you're not
where do you need to be on both sides of
the ball, especially on the road, you're probably not gonna win.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Is it how big of a jump in competition do
you think it is done? Because a lot of it
is stylistic and a lot of people thought that USIA
was going to fit right in with their defense, and
is it any of that? Do you think is there
a bit of a you know, I guess shock of
style that they're now having to contend with, especially in
conference play, game in and game out.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Well, I've been really staying in tune, Matt and not
really passing any judgment or really even commenting on what
I thought about the Big Ten Conference as a whole
versus what I and we have watched for the last
however many years in the PAC twelve. But I think
now's the time and some conclusions I've come to is
(21:53):
it's not as physical as I thought it was going
to be. It's still physical and more physical than the
Pact twelve, but it's not as fit ysicals I thought
it would be. The talent level across the board, it's
not close. If you're talking about every team in the
conference in the PAC twelve versus every team in the
Big Ten, it's not close in terms of level of talent.
(22:14):
And then the last thing I'd say, rebounding is the
biggest thing in the Big Ten. It's not even really
the physicality. It's if you can rebound, you're gonna win.
If you can't rebound, you're probably not gonna win.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Interesting stuff from Don McClain, drawing conclusions. As we approach
February here in the world of college basketball, we'll take
a shift. You can see Don on FS one tonight,
Ucla Iowa gonna be very exciting. We'll see if they
bring them a cake. Don, The Lakers won, but man,
it feels just kind of like a really bumpy road
(22:50):
for them. And JJ Reddick, of course, you know everybody,
as you know, have been affected by the fires. You
were in last week hosting a show with us while
I was raging in town, and I mean, where where
do you think the Lakers go? For me, It's just
it doesn't feel like anything's going to happen that makes
them a real contender.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
It doesn't seem that way. But we're only what thirty
seven thirty eight games in, so not quite half the season,
so things could change, and maybe whatever JJ Reddick's trying
to get them to do, they'll get better at as
time goes on. But you just watch them in the
in the inconsistency, it's hard to imagine them contending for
(23:30):
a championship. But you do see flashes of them playing
really good and they've beaten some good teams, but you
just don't see the level that okay see plays with
every night, like they well, whatever their record is, thirty
four and six or whatever it is, and like that
that you would you would think has more of a
chance to win a championship. Obviously, but we'll see. I
(23:53):
mean they have, they have, They have good enough players
to be better than they are, and maybe they'll get there.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I think it was the sat Berry told us this,
So if it's a stupid stat, blame him, not me.
I believe he said it was the seventh largest point
differential in the history of the NBA, fifty nine points
Clippers over Nets. In your career done, can you remember
blowing a team out by anything close to that or
(24:21):
losing a game by anything close to one shy of sixty?
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Well, I was on the ninety two to ninety six
Washington Bullets. So if there's if there's six, if there's
six blowouts ahead of that one the other night, I
might have been on it. I'm not sure, but yeah,
it's Look but you look at you look at the
box score of that game, which I did obviously. I mean,
I know who they are, but I guarantee you ninety
(24:48):
nine percent of people that look at that box score
don't know who most of those players are in their
NBA players, So they're in a complete rebuild. Scores don't matter,
wins and losses don't matter, and the Clippers took advantage
of it.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
How how do you think Kawhi looks? Is he Kawhi
but only limited minutes? Is he a guy that's still
trying to work his way back? Because it seems like
our guy Adam very excited about how just eyeball test
Leonard looks out on the court.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
He looks I'll tell you what he does look, which
is unusual for a guy that's been out for so long.
He looks like he's in really good condition, Like he
looks thinner to me. Now, I think he's working it.
So I think he's on a minutes well I know
he's on a minutes restriction, but I also think he's
trying to work himself back into rhythm. I don't think
he's looked bad, but look, Kawhi Leonard said a pretty
(25:39):
high standard for himself over the years, So I think
it's gonna be both that he'll keep ramping up the
minutes while his game will continue to ramp up.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Do you think the Clippers are going to become a
story in the second half of the season if he
can stay healthy. Do you think that it will be
something that people start talking about and they'll start coming
out to that crazy dome.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Well, what's going to be interesting, Pee is everybody's pretty
much in agreement that they have overachieved this year because
Kawhi missed most of the season so far and to
have the record that they have, everybody was a little surprised,
me included. But now the narrative changes because he's back,
so it's now it's not if they go twenty and
seventeen again, that won't be as as good of a
(26:22):
story as it was to start the year. So it'll
be interesting to see the impact of Kawhi and does
their one loss record get better with him in there
once he's able to go full go and play most
of the knights or play most of the minutes.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Hey, sorry to scramble back to the game you're calling tonight,
don but I should have thought of it when you
said it Ucla Iowa. Tonight you mentioned the one thing
that you've been able to take away having seen enough
Big Ten games now is rebounding wins. Does UCLA rebound
the ball well enough to win in the Big Ten?
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Well, we're going to find out. And you know, I
but I with them. That's an overall statement. Now, you
can still win games without rebounding. But I guess what
I meant when I said earlier is if you're not
a good rebounding team, you're not gonna win. Is UCLA
a bad rebounding team? No? But are they a great
rebounding team? No? Like USC is not a very good
(27:17):
rebounding team. But guess what, they rebounded well against Illinois
and Iowa and they won both games. That's kind of
my point. So I think UCLA has the personnel to
be a good enough rebounding team. Iowa was the worst
rebounding team in the league, but that just tells you
how good they are offensively, Like they are negative five
a game rebounding Iowa. But they're three and three in
the conference right now. But that's just because they're an
(27:40):
elite offensive team with all these elite shooters all over
the court. But they can't ever win the conference because
they can't rebound. There's zero chance Iowa can ever win
the conference this year because they will just get blasted
on the glass by Purdue in Michigan State, Illinois and
all them. So to answer your question, I think UCLA
can rebound well enough to go along with their elite
(28:02):
defense when it's right to win. Do I think they're
going to win the conference? No, I don't.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Blasts on the glass. The great Don McClaine on FS
one tonight Ucla Iowa. Don you used to own a
sandwich place at UCLA. You obviously are legend on campus
there for many many years. Is there a place you
like to go when you call a game there? Maybe
like a small grove or a little grassy area where
(28:30):
you go and reflect on your life, you know, and
and things you know, especially birthday yesterday, anything like that.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Let me think about that. No, I pull in, do
the game, get back to my car, and go home.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
What did you do for your birthday? Don anything exciting?
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Well I flew home from Seattle, and then I did
some stuff and then went to dinner with the family,
and that was that.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Okay, you didn't go to Lemont Park. Can sit by
your statue and have a quiet moment of contemplation there.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
No, I got in my car, went to dinner, got
in my car again, and came home last night.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
So if I go out to Lemon Park, I'm not
going to see you reading a paperback or anything out
there having a little moment Oh inner excellence, Oh be beautiful?
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Yeah no, no you won't.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
All right, well, we'll see enjoy the game tonights. Money.
I really like the shady grove here more towards the sunsets.
Uh uh, We love you. Don have a great night,
happy birthday, and have a great call.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
All right, Thanks guys. See it.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I thought for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I hope they give him a cake and make it awkward.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I don't think he knows anybody well on it.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Why don't you text somebody? Petros Well know everybody at
Fox Great TV. As Don has to react and be
excited about a cake. It's his first game on a
best one. It like says welcome to the team and
a happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Come on. I will text please whom to find out
who's producing. That's what I need to know first, and
then I can go from there. All right, we'll be back.
We're gonna do the word and number coming up next,
and then we'll get to vassa Roki Sasaki as a Dodger.
Roki Sasaki signed with the Dodgers. The Japanese Holy Trinity
(30:26):
of Yamamoto, Yamamoto, Otani and Sasaki or something. We're all
gonna have to get used to saying. It's not easy.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
dB coming up in our next segment. David Vasse has
benomalous every single day this week, speculating on what could
happen with Roki Sasaki now that his window to sign
with a major League baseball team opened on January fifteenth,
and said he thought it would happened relatively soon, and
in fact it did about an hour ago. We got
the news that Roki Sasaki is a Dodger. So he
(31:08):
will give us all the details on how it happened,
why it happened, and what it means perhaps for guys
like Key k Hernandez and some other free agents that
we've been keeping an eye on moving forward. That'll be
in our very next segment.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Well, Matt, they have him under control for six years.
Like one Otani signed with the Angels, he was there
for six years. That's because they leave Japan and signed
with the MWB teams before the age of twenty nine.
It's or twenty five. Excuse me, that's the rule. It's
(31:43):
to deter the young players from leaving Japan. But he
is leaving anyway. He's six foot three and his fastball
is topped out and one hundred and two miles per hour.
The average is in the upper nineties. That is why
we've been monitoring this for the last set days. Three
days into the international signing window and Roki Sasaki chooses
(32:07):
the Dodgers. Huge news and terrible news from from Don McClain.
He says he's not gonna tell us who's producing the game.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Even more, even more I could find that reach out
to you. Yeah, you'll be able to find out easy.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
I just want to know so I can create in roads.
I'm not it's too late to buy a cake. No,
it's not.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
They can hit up the Johns. There's a John's grocery
right up the road there. Get one of those do
it yourself.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
There's in Westwood.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah, it's beautiful. It's right next to the OZ.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Are you sure?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Hjhs that good John's Bakery cake for him.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
That's the big news on Sasaki. You know, I thought
you would find this interest sting mad. If we're going
to do it the word and number of the day, right,
let's do it. I mean, see here talking about society.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
I got a number. I want to I want to
pat ourselves on the basket.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
I want to get the number of the day.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
I thought we're doing. We're doing word first, right. Yeah.
I don't want to pat anybody on the back of myself.
I don't, but his words. The word of the day, Matt.
The word of the day today is high Desert. Last
night it was popping off in the High Desert while
we were watching that crazy car chase, which was with
(33:32):
no cars, all dirt bikes yesterday while the dirt biking
was going on. That have st Tim Kates so much?
Get a load of this A Wild West story. Two
teenage boys sixteen and seventeen swooped four hundred and eight
thousand dollars worth of Nike's from a train. That from
(33:54):
a train. Oh I love a freight train robbery, train robbery,
Matt Old School, Jesse James, freight train robbery box car
Bertha style. It all went down in the Morongo Basin.
That's right, twenty nine palms adjacent. You know, Brogan and
Roddy are headed out there. The BNSF freight train saw
(34:19):
that it was being robbed, called the cops last night.
And the cops who were on their way, you're on
your way to a robbery, and you see a white
van driving away. That's kind of suspicious, right, So they
flipped a t and they followed the white van in
Wonder Valley. The van gave chase. The cops gave chase
(34:41):
to the van. The van got held up on a
dirt brim and spilled out two youths and they got
out on a foot bail and they got snatched up
inside the van four hundred and eight dollars worth of shoes.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
Like what.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
I mean, assuming it's like some sort of of wacky
exclusive watsono Euler type purple Haze Nike kind of thing,
right in.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
A freight train in Wonder Valley, that's one hundred and
eight thousand worth.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
How do you get four hundred and eight thousand dollars
worth of shoes.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
You're talking about, Say they're one hundred.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Dollarseen one hundred pair of shoes.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
That's right, Matt, and that could fill up that van.
There was another car that they stopped that they saw
driving down. I mean, this is a sparsely, sparsely occupied
area in our state. Not a lot of people in
the Wonder Valley. I don't know if you've driven around
out there in Morongo matter had any reason to. It's
(35:38):
not like we talk about ninety minutes down to ten
from wherever you are. Another car in the same jurisdiction
got stopped on Old Woman's Springs Road and that person
foot veiled and escaped, and the cops think that that
person was allegedly also involved in the Nike shoe train robbery. Seela,
(35:59):
come I here, sparsely populated out there. Good luck finding me.
You're gonna have to be like a coyote to find me.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Coppa tough teas copa. So it's uh, hit the road
and found some brush.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
I thought that was kind of an you know, we
we do monitor all the local crime, and I thought
that was a very interesting story as far as you know,
a train robbery an area where, for mal we're familiar
with four hundred and eight thousand dollars worth of Nikes.
Four hundred and eight thousand dollars How.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Much your nikes these days, like the expensive ones? Are
they like two hundred fifty bucks?
Speaker 3 (36:34):
I guess yeah, so that would knock it down to
seven hundred peers. Sheeeese. But Matt, I mean, if you
think about it, this is the most impactful robbery story
we've had from the Coachella Moreno Valley you know, or
out there San Bernardino Wonder Valley is really what we're
talking about. Since those two recruits from Beaumont stole all
(36:55):
the Jesus pieces from the Colorado team at the Rose
Bull That's right, and then their football bus got pulled
over on the way to the playoff game and the
two dudes got arrested in full pat.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Right in front of everybody, a moment they'll never forget.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
All right, let's do some back padding. The number of
the day, number of the day.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
Number.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
The day is forty eight, forty eight hours from now. Listen,
Petros and Money Show has always been ahead of the curve.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Always. Don't ever forget that.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
When a bunch of hosts around town decided that they
were going to start their own TikTok page, huh, and
they were going to grow their brand via TikTok, and
we said, that's the dumbest thing we've ever heard of.
We're not doing TikTok. The Petros Money Show is staying loyal.
We've been MySpace since day one and we're sticking with
my Space. And who's laughing now, because forty eight hours
(37:47):
from now, TikTok.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Will be banned.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
The Supreme Court up holds the band TikTok is out,
Chinese diss and misinformation won't be sent and Americans won't
be subjected to it. From Byte Dance and the Petrosen
Money Show knew it all along, all the people that said,
you guys got to join TikTok. That's the social platform
that really makes the waves. And we said, no, that's
(38:09):
not for us. My Space is for us. That's our
social media platform.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Fools.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
And now who's laughing?
Speaker 3 (38:17):
We saw the riding on the wall when they arrested Jello.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Ball, exactly right, rest that guy for stealing sunglasses, you
kidd me, so way to go, Petrosen Money Show once
again recognizing the true value of a viable social media platform.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
So what happens to you? I mean, we know what
happens to all the billionaires that were working on MySpace, Matt,
there's still very much attacked like us. But what happens
to you if you are making all this money is
waving your puzzo around on TikTok doing all the silly dances.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
So what do you do?
Speaker 3 (38:52):
You jump to YouTube, you jump to Instagram?
Speaker 4 (38:54):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (38:54):
I believe a lot of people are making the move
over to YouTube and YouTube show Blue Sky I think
is more of a Twitter alternative. I think the TikTok
alternative is a place called Red Red Note, and it's
a but which is injuring because it's a Chinese company
as well. I think it's a very similar algorithm and
(39:15):
runs very similarly to TikTok.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
But not as Chinese, more like Panda Express. You know,
I think it's as opposed to the Emperor's Palace.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
I think still very Chinese, which is why people are like, well,
why is it? It's the number one app right now
and all the app stores. They do say that, like,
this could go one of two ways, to be just
straightforward about what I've read, because my daughter's got a
ton of freaking TikTok followers, is that it may just
continue to exist. The app store won't allow any updates. Uh,
(39:46):
they won't allow anybody new to download the app, and
you'll just continue to be able to make content and
distribute content and make money off your content until eventually
it gets too buggy and keeps, you know, shutting down
with the different updates for the different smart devices. Or
they say it is very possible that TikTok just throws
up a we've been banned in the US. You can
(40:07):
no longer access our content on Sunday when that deadline hits.
So it could go one of those two ways.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Like Cheech and Chong where they sell all their weed products,
but not to Idaho, right, yeah, exactly, Idaho. You could
do the the that's not a big market for China.
They don't need not at all.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
I think they'll be fine. I mean, you know, look
a look at how well they're doing without Indonesia. You
know that band hit like six months ago and they're
still totally fine. So if they can survive Indonesia, they
can totally survive the US.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Indonesia is quite large. We learned that on the show.
We'll be right back with David Masse on the iHeartRadio
app and on AM five seventy LA Sports. The Dodgers
have made huge waves again. It's almost unfair, man, man.
They've signed Roki Sasaki, right handed picture, beloved in Japan,
(40:57):
now leaving Japan. David Vasse with the latest. He's been
right on top of this story from day one. A
big thank you to Don mcclan Chris Taylor who've already
joined the show. A lot of breaking news. Try not
to rob a train this weekend. Everybody
