David Vasse and Company as they get you ready for
the second of four games and the eighth of the
ten games in ten days. On this arduous road trip.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Oh it's arduous, it's long. It's a winding road, Matt.
But you know what, there's love in the air out
on the road trip. We had a great interview with
Ben Casparius yesterday. We proclaimed and professed our love to
each other. We love you Casparius.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Now, first of all, it's yeah, we love you Casparius. Now,
first of all, it's yeah, that was cool.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
That was at the end of the interview after ten
minutes of talking to him.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
The window what we set the tone right at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
We love you Casparius. Now, first of all, God, that
was great.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Ten seconds into having them on.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
We love you Casparus and we do we not? Now,
first of all, do we not love Casparras Come on, guys,
well and he loves us. He told us, hey, love
those guys. This, Matt, is not going to end like
a lot of our bad pitching relationships like Duffy and Cindergart.
This is Kindergart was a was a real nipple twister.
This is gonna be this I can feel it is
(02:30):
gonna be.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
He started showing up to the game's barefoot to mimic.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Didn't we have like a really nice talk with Gavin
Stone and then he fell off?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, that happened. We were we were at the Brewery
X in Anaheim when we talked to Gavin Stone and
it all just came apart.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
What was that other guy, the big white guy, the
young guy was pitching last year? There was another one,
Lance Lynn, No.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Big white guy. It was some other guy and he
loved us Landon. It wasn't the It was a different guy,
Michael Grove. Grove Groves out too. Yes, that's right. Grove
was the one that joined us when we were at
Rock and Bruce. I believe right. No, Gavin Stone did.
That was the Stone Bone. That's right, because we played
(03:14):
the Boner sound effects.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
And we had a lot of conversations with a lot
of pictures over the years, and some of them were like, Hey,
this is going to be a long, beautiful relationship like
the end of Casablanca. You know, this could be the
beginning of a beautiful relationship, of a beautiful friendship. And
every time we say that, it kind of feels like instead,
(03:35):
you know, something terrible happens in that guy's life. Oh
we love yous. Uh Now, first of all, yeah, I
love you. That's how you set the tone with Casparius.
Was it Kyle hurt? It was shean emt Yeah, Emmitt.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
She Ember Dodger and they all got hurt.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Bobby Miller, I mean our relationship with Bobby Miller with
a lion tattoo.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
When we talk to him about that. If we're worried
about a young picture getting hurt because they talk to us,
we can't talk to any young picture on the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Well that's sort of the problem. Like is he says,
you don't really mean it? We do mean it. Happy birthday?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Is he? Thanks? Matt? I know you don't mean it. Yeah,
I meant it. I love Casparius with his words. The
word of the day.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Today's word is appo, Matt. I don't I think you
know this about me? I mean, I know you know
a lot about me and pay a lot of attention
to what's going on with me, you know, of course, yeah,
you know a lot. You know, like John Elway and
Don Martin, you know, you know, like a single white
fear take us.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Thieves guys man always thankest thing.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
But I do make it a habit while I watch
baseball to watch the opposition broadcast. When I watch Dodges,
I learn more that way. I enjoy the opposition.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Well, you've got the golden ticket, you've got the super
cool privileged access to all the opposing broadcast, I.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Think does everybody or you don't know? Okay, but I
love to watch the opposing broadcast. It makes me like
the Dodgers more listening to all the out of town
taught types talk about their team while they're going up
against the defending champions. Listening that to them say things like, well, yeah,
we're coup to pretty closer here, and there's always whether
(05:43):
or not podcast Pantona, is there a healthy contingent of Dodger?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
What stop bullying him? Did somebody say that we were
bullying him? Yeah? That was like right away on a
on a social media post. Okay, that we were. We
were bullying him. And he's a guy that's just trying
to provide opportunities the doubtlets for real Dodger fans.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
The guy that runs pantone is a grifter. You already
have to pay so much to be involved as a
Dodger fan. Why pay some other idiot even more, why.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Call your friends, go to a bar, hang out right,
You'll be fine. You can take a trip without pantone anyway, Uh,
travel agent, lean on them.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
You know it's not that hard. Uh you don't even
need a traveler anyway.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
That's true. Uh, there there is.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
There's always a lot of Dodger fans in the stands,
plus the Otani factor. The broadcasters, you can imagine Matt
makes them a little bit bitter that the Dodger fans
fill the stadium, and it helps me root for the
Dodgers a little bit to spite the out.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Of town guys.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
So anyway, last night I was watching the broadcast and
the d Backs broadcasters are Steve berthew remember the guy
from espen Perthue and Bob Brentley. Oh I like that
Rob brob Brentley, Brentley old for a while, old guy
for the old guy who was the catcher who was
(07:13):
I think their manager when they won the World Series.
And last night there was an anniversary of Randy Johnson's
twenty plus strikeout game or whatever, and they interviewed Randy
Johnson for a half inning on the d Backs broadcast
last night. Fun and I was like, what is that sound?
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Like?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
What is happening?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Like?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I started looking around and like freaking out, and I
realized that Randy Johnson's hearing aids were whistling, Dixie, oh,
like his hearing aids. And I was like that, that
sounds like a hearing aid, but he ain't that old.
And then I'm looking at him and the hearing aids
are sticking out of his ears. You know, your dad
wears a hearing aid, or your mom or somebody like you, grandma,
(07:59):
you know, you ug him up close and it's like
it's like sonar and uh so this guy's his ears
were whistling like a teapot. And Berthume was getting testy
with Randy because like Randy was like, oh, you know,
Randy was clearly nervous, not not really a talkative, super
outwardly friendly guy in public.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I guess is the rub on red.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
He doesn't seem like a bad guy, just seems like
getting kind of bristly and maybe a little. Don McClain asked,
and Berthume was like the king of the one word
answers Randy Johnson. I was like, oh my god, whoa,
this guy's ears are freaking ringing he's getting called out
by punk ass Berthume. I mean, wow, I enjoy checking
(08:47):
the opposition broadcast, and I'll be checking back with Brandley
and Berthume tonight to see what else is going on,
because uh, I mean, it's I don't know, something to do,
something to do this time of year.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It's something that no one else can lay claim to.
Everybody else watching Joe Davis or Caros or whoever's out there.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
If Jessica's there, you know that that. You know, I
get off the opposing broadcast to say, get my Mendoza going.
But other than that, yeah, I can take it to
leave it.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Here's my number. Number of the day. Number the day
is one hundred. I remember the first time I saw
the Mustang GT cop cars rolled out on the freeways
back in the nineties, those old cheese Greater tail lights,
the five ozero badgette outside the front wheel, suggesting, well,
(09:40):
the interceptor was as fast as f with that Mustang
engine and it's dialed in suspension. It was still a
Crown VIC and back then the five oh was the
scourge of the streets. Dudes in tank tops with mullets
and moose you know this all in ass smoking cigarettes.
(10:01):
This this car doesn't corner well, but it's gonna go
real fast, straight line around town.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Tosso Papadaka has had a white one with the with
the Venetian lines and the.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Oh yeah, the louvers uh. And we have chronicled this
a lot, by the way, a lot of cigarettes. Looking
for a Mustang Gallopingford dot com they got forty one
of them right now, ready for immedia delivery. We've chronicled
this before. When Dodge decided to stake their claim to
a portion of the American car market is they had
(10:38):
been failing miserably up to this point. They decided not
to do it with gas economy or interior technology. They
did it with American Muscle with massive monster horsepower engines
in the equivalent of a rental car, Dodge Chargers, Dodge Challengers,
and then they came with the SUV Durangole with Hemis
(11:01):
and Hellcats and five hundred and six hundred and eight
hundred horsepower. F everyone, you think you can go fast
in a straight line, check out this s and during
COVID it was like the goddamn Pomona Fairplex dragstrip with
a Christmas tree out there. On the freeways, and it's
really carried over, much like the behavior of our sales
(11:23):
staff is carried over from COVID when they could work
remotely and they barely show up into the office anymore.
And Fridays are in absolute ghost town with tumblits Calico
out here, the uh pioneer town. The freeways in southern
California are still rife with challenger and charger pilots that
(11:48):
have no interest in your well being and insist upon
going north of eighty five miles an hour no matter
what traffic looks like. So the CHP has decided to
fight fire with fire. Oh yeah, they're adding some uh
some firepower, Matt. Check check out on Man. This like
Rubo cup two. Yes, check out. The Commissioner of the CHP,
(12:10):
Sean der Ye, with this message for those folks.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Today, I'm at the CHP Fleet Operations Section in West
Sacramento to announce the newest addition to our fleet, the
twenty twenty four Dodge Duringo specially marked patrol vehicle. For
forty years, the CHP is used specially marked patrol vehicles
to tackle specific traffic safety challenges. These new patrol units
distinct from Our iconic black and whites retain the manufacturer's
(12:37):
paint job, helping officers blend into traffic and catch reckless
drivers in the act. We're deploying one hundred of these
vehicles statewide to confront a growing threat aggressive drivers who
speed excessively, tailgates, split lanes, and endangered lives. When they
spot our march units, they often change their behavior briefly.
(12:58):
These new patrol vehicles will help us hold them accountable.
Each Durango features a V eight HEMI engine, police concealed
three hundred and sixty degree emergency lighting, and a version
of the HP badge on the door. Officers in full
uniform will operate them primarily on multi lane freeways with
(13:19):
a clear mission to identify and stop reckless and dangerous drivers.
Despite advances in vehicle safety, California still sees over four
thousand traffic deaths annually. Most of these are preventable. A
small percentage of aggressive drivers put everyone at risk for
nearly one hundred years. Work to keep our minds see
(13:39):
and we take that mission seriously. These new vehicles are
another powerful tool for tech California's motoring public and help
everyone arrive home safely.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Hell yet. Yeah, der ye, we're gonna fight muscle with muscle.
We get a hemmy in this bitch.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Oh that'll calm things down out on the roads, Matt
It it feels like when two superheroes get in a fight,
you know, and they wrecked the holes.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I love it. I freaking love it. It's like rampage.
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I used to like on a rampage where you can
eat people. Oh yeah, pull them out of the window.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Here's my number. This is the song of the Day.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
Friday is the title of our song of the Day
from talented English musicians, singer and songwriter Joe Jackson. A
great tune to spin on a Frogman Friday, where the
Petros and Money Show concludes the week in grey Et
sports talk with a back to back three and a
half hour radio program that'll see us into Dodger Baseball
with those freaky snakes out in the Arizona Desert tonight.
(14:49):
But first, our friend Tim Kates will have your Marongo
casino Dodgers on Deck program that begins at five thirty.
Speaker 3 (14:58):

Speaker 3 (15:53):
Camp McClain is up and running, and Don McClain, the
head Camp Counselor.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Joining us now.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
The leading scor in the history of the PAC twelve
is Statue and Seami Valley at Lemon Park stands above everybody,
reminding everybody of that mid range CAA fan duel, the
Big ten Network.
Speaker 2 (16:20):

Speaker 3 (16:24):
I'm here Southern California, Toyota the other celebrity hotline and
in the baron of Box Canyon, Don McLean, what's crack
of Don?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Cam counselor? McLean is more tired than a one legged
man in an ass kicking contest.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, it's that it's been that tough on you. Don No.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Oh, we just we've had way more players than we
normally have. And I think I don't know if we've
talked about this or not, but with this nil generation
of players being able to pay for stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
We bring them in as well.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
So like today, we had six team players in today,
so that means four groups, which means four workouts. And
so it's just more this year. And I don't know
if that'll change moving forward or it's here to stay,
but it's been great because we got a lot of
really good players in the gym. It's just basically double
(17:18):
or triple what we normally do every year. And my
reward is I get to get on a plane to
Chicago on Mondays. The combine.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
All that money, That's what it sounds like to me.
Dono means all that money.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Don McClain rolling into money, killing snakes all day. Don
But we did not talk to you since the Clippers
were ousted. Very disappointing the way it went down to
what a crazy deal, a bad draw, but man, I
thought that they could have beat the Nuggets.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I did too, and I thought that this because everything
and we talked about this. I thought everything had lined
up perfectly the way they man It's Kawhi during the year,
and he was healthy and playing really well down the
home stretch into the playoffs. I was really surprised that
they didn't win that series. Now, when you put yourself
in a Game seven on the road, you know that's
what can happen. And I think that, you know, there's
(18:15):
still some things, but we have to remember this that
the Clippers overachieved this year. You know a lot of
people didn't think they'd be five hundred in the regular
season and they way way clips at and so you know,
moving forward, do you look at the Game seven as Okay,
what do you do now? Or was it just one game?
(18:37):
But they did overachieve the entire season. So do you
run it back next year thinking, Okay, we lost the
Game seven, but this team's still good enough to get
to the Western Finals. That's the question.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Don What do you make of You know, I just
kind of you watched the way the Game seven played out,
how it got away from him, the lack of production,
you know, particularly from hard in the comments after the
game about Game seven is all about effort, it's all
about want, and they clearly outpaced us. There just kind
of your takeaway at how that particular game played out
(19:11):
against this team and then these games that had been
so competitive up to that point.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Yeah, that's why it's disappointing, because I think everybody would
view this Clipper season differently even if they had lost,
but it had been a competitive game. I think it
just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Do you
get to a Game seven and you literally get blown out?
And so that's why I said earlier, like you start
to think, is this not the right team? Do we
(19:37):
need to trade some guys? Do we need different pieces?
What do we need to win? Which overshadows what a
great regular season they really had based on what they
lost last summer, And you know, the roster that they
build and people in Kawhi not playing for half the year.
So I don't know, it's interesting and it'll be fascinating
to see what they do in the offseason, if anything,
(19:57):
with their roster. But it certainly was disappointing, and I
think it was disappointing as well. And I think Harden's
just a microcosm of the team because he had a
terrific regular season All Star again but just didn't play well.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
In Game seven. Yeah, just kind of to your original point,
you know, I mean, you know all about roster construction,
you know what you see out there? Does it make
sense to you know, you can extend Norman Pole. I
would assume Harden's gonna opt out of that player option
because of how well he played in the regular season. Like,
are you comfortable kind of running this group back and
(20:31):
seeing if another year can produce another fifty win season,
a top four seed, and a run of a title. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
The thing is that I haven't looked at their cap.
I don't know what that means. How willing is Balmer
to go into the apron or the second apron to
try and get over the hump? I mean, I would
think based on how it went now again, they overachieved,
like they did better than what people thought. So if
you had a roster to start last season with what
most people thought would be at best a play and
(21:00):
they end up being in the playoffs and not in
the play in tournament, that you could add to it.
But financially, can you are you willing to? And I
think that's the question. Look, Steve Ballmer's always been great
about paying whatever to do what's necessary to win. So
I have a feeling that they're not going to stand pat.
(21:21):
I don't know anything. I haven't talked to anyone, but
I just have a feeling that they're not just going
to run it back with the same exact group.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Don mcclan is our guest.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
He knows about the NBA, modern and not so modern,
and of course how to get into the NBA NBA
and train young athletes for the draft. Don, in today's NBA,
is it a shock to you that Draymond Green gets
to kick everybody's nuts and nothing ever seen? Y?
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Yeah, I don't understand why one player in the NBA
seemingly his feet in his hands and elbows elbow either
wind up on someone's face or head or they're growing
like every time, all the time. He never hits anyone
in the chest, in the arm. It's always in the
(22:11):
head or in.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
The nuts, sometimes in the lines, sometimes.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
In Yeah, And I don't understand it, like these broadcasters,
and I'm not Look, it's all of them, and I
get it because I do it too. You can't go
over the line and you know, talk about the NBA
or the NCAA or a certain conference or whatever. But
it's like, guys, it's obvious now, It's obvious every time
he gets tangled up, he hits somebody in the head
(22:36):
or in the nuts. And I just can't believe that
he just keeps getting a free pass for all this.
And I was taught Jason Richardson, whose son Jason's with
us for this from Michigan State. Jason's been there every day,
greatest guy on the planet. Really getting to know him
has been unbelievable. But he and I look at each
other every time this happened for the last six weeks,
and like he would have gotten his ass kicked. I
(22:57):
don't know how many times if he was playing the nineties,
Like literally, he'd have been knocked out ten times by
now in his career by somebody.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Oakley or Mason or somebody like.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
That, anybody like no one's back. I hate though when
I played thing, but it really was about that. It
was like respect back then, you hit me in the
head and like egregious, like extra swinging of the elbow
for no reason, I'm punching you, period. And that was
across the board, and like now, it's like, I get it, guys,
(23:29):
I want to get fined and lose money in the
whole bit. But more than that, I just can't believe
that the league continues to overlook this stuff. It's crazy
to me.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah, the idea that they don't want her to pick
up another tax so he'll be suspended for a game
is just too daunting. I'd be in a freaking idiot.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Then sorry, guy, you're suspended.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Stop being an a hole. Yeah, we you know, while
we no longer have the Lakers, who are a three seed,
nor the Clippers, who were favored in the series against
the Nuggets playing in the second round, nationally, the basketball
fans have the Knicks, and you know what that means
when it comes to the national media. Don people get
damn excited. They won both games in Boston, very similar
(24:08):
to what Boston has done all season. Late game collapses,
missing threes, taking too many threes. Just kind of your
thoughts on when you look at who's left over there
in those four teams, if we could have a New
York Nick squad in the NBA Finals, and how freaked
out all the basketball fans would be if that happened.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I don't see why not. I mean, I'm not watching
anything where I say, you know, and I forget the
numbers of teams being up too oh. But it's pretty
good when you're up to oh if you're gonna win
the series. But they still got work to do, you know.
That's the thing about playing Boston. If they're not hitting them,
you got a really good chance of beating them. But
if they're making them, you got no chance of beating
them either. And so we'll see if Boston can get
(24:47):
it going in the Garden from.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Behind the line.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
And there's been a lot of a lot of dialogue
about them shooting too many threes, and I think this
is why people were saying that. But it doesn't mean
they can't go into the Garden and get hot for
two and all of a sudden, the season back to Boston.
It's tied to too Garden v.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Garden.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
A lot of angry, joyless East Coast people involved in
that rivalry, no doubt about it. Don do do you
like in the West? I mean, it's it just feels
like a toss up.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
No.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
I think the Thunders, I think they've proven and I
know they lost Game one, but I just I think
the rust. I think the one thing that's come up
that's been interesting to me is the whole rest versus
rust thing, And I think the rust has worn out
or has won out in the sense that the teams
that had like five, six, seven days off is weren't
ready to play game one, Cleveland being one of them
(25:44):
and Okay See being the other. And it's like not
that you can change that or you want to change it.
But I just think that that's an interesting part of
the playoffs so far. But I think I think Okay
season gear now and I would be surprised if they're
not coming out of the.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Way West last one for you, don just another big
picture because the Lakers and Clips are out playoff conversation.
If I take Jokich off the board and you still
and you've got a lot of players that that you
help get to the league and Donovan, Mitchell and Halliburton,
who do you think the best player and shake Gilgess Alexander,
who do you think the best player left in the
(26:21):
playoffs is? If I take Jokich off the board, is
it Shaye By by a long shot? Or do you
think there's you know, Tatum, I mean you got a
lot of good players still out there.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Yeah, well, let's let's talk about the playoffs first. Like,
the playoffs are different than the regular season, and so
games are usually tight. There's a blow there's a blowout
here and there, but they're typically tight. And if who
can execute, who can make plays down the stretch? Who
has the stones for that? And I would say it
(26:50):
might be Brunson. He's proven time and again that the
moment doesn't affect him and that he likes being tied
down to up to you with a couple of minutes
to go. And so he's not the best player left
in the playoffs, but he might be the best playoff
player left in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
One and only Don McClain headed out to Chicago, which
is what what do you get? Another day, older and
deeper in debt. Enjoy yourself out there. We love you
and thank you for doing it. Don, have a good one.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yep, all right, guys see it.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
I mean we've known Don for twenty years. No, I
love you too. But Casparius gave it up right away.
I mean, four roofs man. He is making bank, He's
making that Cooper flag money. We love you, Casparius now,
First of all.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
We'll be right back with some reaction, right, Matt, How
come I can't be like a ball boy and get
some of that good McClain money.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I'll shag balls right right. I'll wash balls too, Yeah
you will. I'll tell you to hustle. Yeah, show me
some hustle, guys. All right, guys, you're all done.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Get over to the ball washing and pull smoking area
with Petro some mout over there.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Hey, guys, let's go. Let's hustle Colin today. Guys. Get
over to the pole smoking and ball washing. Uh. All right, guys,
drills over over to the pole smoking station. We'll be
back with all whistling, Phil Jackson and more. All you
(28:33):
gotta do is hit up the Zen sheet counter at
any participating Ralph's grocery store. Scan the QR code. Oh,
we'll be there for Sweet Life Day. We will be there.
I don't believe we can share what day it is,
but we will be there. It'll be in the next
two weeks. Enter for your chance to win this once
in a lifetime. Can I ask? Every day on the
(28:53):
sheet it says Zenhi oh am, I supposed to say that.
Now that's a TYPEO man. Okay, she wheet life experience. Yeah,
I said it ever since you wrote it out. It's
a type of man. I didn't know if that's what
we call the sweet life. Neat no more details at
A five sports dot com. Oh that's an it's an
(29:16):
easter shaped like an easter egg sort of.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
Does a fine brought to you by your so called
Toyota dealers.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
We make it easy, all right.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Uh this says damn pe the way Don McClain just
puffed out his chest going after Draymond Ronnie, better think
twice before smart before being a smart ass next time
Don's in the studio.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Don was uh the most animated I've heard Don in
a long time going after Draymond Green. Draymond, You know,
Draymond Green does seem like an angry guy. Every time
he punches somebody or kicks him in the nuts, he
seems like an angry guy. So I don't think that's
a median narrative.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
I'm with Don and I don't get it. And I
get why someone just doesn't absolutely level them and look
at the Adam Silver and say, what do you want? Dude?
You let it get to this. It's your fault. Well,
maybe we should send Ronnie after him.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
Writing Got a Gun for the next couple of days.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Wait, Ronnie, how is the state allowed to have two
official songs?
Speaker 7 (30:18):
I don't know, don that's that's what I read. What's
the other one? I don't know and didn't care. It's
immaterial for this particular segment.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Of the show. Damn it.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Maybe if Matt told down that Jason McIntyre calls James
Hard and Jim Harden when he doesn't play well in
the playoffs, Dog could tell him and then maybe he'll
turn it around.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Paper Cliff, my paper Cliff, Jim Harden for let me
call him after a game. Something like that.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
The Masters in Coaching must have a whole segment on
how to blow a whistle effectively?
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Is there that, Kate? Do you guys cover that the Masters?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Is there a bike shorts segment where you talk about
how how tight you could wear your bike shorts, bike
nuts nuts hugged.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Up in there? And no, But I think a whistle
segment actually would be pretty good. You know, the proper
time to blow a whistle as opposed not to blow
a whistle? Got it? And teaching and coaching? Thank you, Matt.
We appreciate your whistle. That is the inappropriate time to
blow a whistle.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Hey Pete, I'm a line cook and thanks to you,
every time I get a ticket with chicken on it,
I start singing, Wop wop chicken chicken buck brock chicken head,
bck buck chicken chicken buck brock chicken head. Well, congratulations
and we are your line cook show of record. It's
not even clothes, not even close water up. We test
(31:48):
drove a durango HEMI and I made my wife cry.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
My wife.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Is Matt really on his Challenger slash Chargers soap box again?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yes? Yeah, yes, I am he was. He was for sure.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Guys, whoa, oh, you're onto something with the angels. In
the outfield reference for Matt and the Bolts Hallmark's Holiday
Thunderbolt to Your Urethra, Matt plays the bad play by
play announcer, the bad guy. How is he bad? He's
(32:30):
trying to perve out on the protagonist. He tries to
drown her boyfriend when he invited the guy for a
crunchy groove In Sunset, Samson seal Beach. That's all part
of my Sound's pretty good. Hey Skyler, why don't you
go inside and get us something cool to drink, and
I'll take Lance out of here surfing.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Eh, let's go paddle, get a few. What do you say, Lance?
How did he do that? Angry? Is this the angry player?
My playing fans? Is it playing? You're going to see run?
In Baseball Highlights? Four years?
Speaker 3 (33:08):
The bad guy, the bad guys.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Freaking out off air.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
I'm hanging, I'm hut.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
I want to ask on how bad the Angels in
the Outfield movie was, but as a millennial, it's tough
for me to put into words how effing psyched I
was to take on Satan after watching that movie. And
you're right, but you know what I mean, somebody's got
to tell the angels that the Angels in the Outfield
(33:42):
won't help you in the playoffs. Remember Christopher Lloyd said
in that movie, Matt championships have to be won on
their own.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
He did say that, And Tony Danza did not get
help from an angel in that last inning. Well, he died,
which is why he didn't get help from the angel.
By the way, matt was onto something yesterday with the
whole the whole list of actors in that movie. Matthew
McConaughey in that movie. He's the one that makes the
catch right there. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Well, it's it's quite believable. Actually, he's a movie and
he's an actor.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
And he's in it.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Enough fake, it's a script called for that moment, So
it's not unbelievable at all.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
It's unbelievable that nobody really points out that he was
in that movie and Brody and yeah, that guy won
an Oscar two.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
I think, right to this day, I still meant that
we could have had Jason Tatum if Magic didn't get
seduced by Strawberry pancakes. I think they drugged him and
hypnotized him into sleep. Damn those balls, Damn them all
to hell.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
You blew it up. You finally blew it up.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Hey, pe, I know when Casparius was talking about Oh
I got that one already. Okay, here's an Asian American
Pacific Islander qualification question.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
No, don't play it, please don't play it. Oh no,
oh god, no, not like what you blow your whistle again?
Too short?
Speaker 3 (35:07):
This says I'm a goat on an uninhabited San Clemente Island,
which has been target practice site for Navy ships and
amphibious assault exercises. Do I qualify? It's an island in
the Pacific and I've been fired and landed upon by
the US Navy. Don't get more Pacific Islander than that.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Am I wrong? No, sir, not at all. Thank you
for your service.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
You can celebrate Asian American Pacific Islander Month with the
rest of US Pacific islanders. Petros, my aunt down and
Seal Beach just got a new puppy. I told her
to be on the lookout for a tweaker with a
surfboard with his flashlight and keep that dog out of
the front yard unsupervised. The gummy bandit is known as
(35:54):
a person in these parts. Now careful, Matt.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
I being careful. Uh, Kates forgot I had my whistles
on my lacrosse referee in days. I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Uh, this is about your elevator incident. Kate's oh yeah,
horrified hearing about Tim Kates's elevator ordeal on the podcast.
I feel for him. Like him, I'm a stubby legging
man and I know there's no way I could reach
the ceiling of an elevator to climb my way out However,
also like Tim Kates, I could shoot my way out
(36:30):
of the elevator. Well, okay, that could have happened too.
Did you have your gun? I thought you didn't bring
your gun here. No caprende wow, no kaprende kimo. Subby
Kates just went into full Fernando mode and acted like
(36:51):
he didn't speak England.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
No obla.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Well, we'll be back. We have another hour of a
great sports talk and a half hour and a half

David Vasse and Company as they get you ready for
the second of four games and the eighth of the
ten games in ten days. On this arduous road trip.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Oh it's arduous, it's long. It's a winding road, Matt.
But you know what, there's love in the air out
on the road trip. We had a great interview with
Ben Casparius yesterday. We proclaimed and professed our love to
each other. We love you Casparius.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Now, first of all, it's yeah, we love you Casparius. Now,
first of all, it's yeah, that was cool.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
That was at the end of the interview after ten
minutes of talking to him.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
The window what we set the tone right at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
We love you Casparius. Now, first of all, God, that
was great.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Ten seconds into having them on.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
We love you Casparus and we do we not? Now,
first of all, do we not love Casparras Come on, guys,
well and he loves us. He told us, hey, love
those guys. This, Matt, is not going to end like
a lot of our bad pitching relationships like Duffy and Cindergart.
This is Kindergart was a was a real nipple twister.
This is gonna be this I can feel it is
(02:30):
gonna be.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
He started showing up to the game's barefoot to mimic.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Didn't we have like a really nice talk with Gavin
Stone and then he fell off?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, that happened. We were we were at the Brewery
X in Anaheim when we talked to Gavin Stone and
it all just came apart.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
What was that other guy, the big white guy, the
young guy was pitching last year? There was another one,
Lance Lynn, No.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Big white guy. It was some other guy and he
loved us Landon. It wasn't the It was a different guy,
Michael Grove. Grove Groves out too. Yes, that's right. Grove
was the one that joined us when we were at
Rock and Bruce. I believe right. No, Gavin Stone did.
That was the Stone Bone. That's right, because we played
(03:14):
the Boner sound effects.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
And we had a lot of conversations with a lot
of pictures over the years, and some of them were like, Hey,
this is going to be a long, beautiful relationship like
the end of Casablanca. You know, this could be the
beginning of a beautiful relationship, of a beautiful friendship. And
every time we say that, it kind of feels like instead,
(03:35):
you know, something terrible happens in that guy's life. Oh
we love yous. Uh Now, first of all, yeah, I
love you. That's how you set the tone with Casparius.
Was it Kyle hurt? It was shean emt Yeah, Emmitt.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
She Ember Dodger and they all got hurt.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Bobby Miller, I mean our relationship with Bobby Miller with
a lion tattoo.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
When we talk to him about that. If we're worried
about a young picture getting hurt because they talk to us,
we can't talk to any young picture on the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Well that's sort of the problem. Like is he says,
you don't really mean it? We do mean it. Happy birthday?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Is he? Thanks? Matt? I know you don't mean it. Yeah,
I meant it. I love Casparius with his words. The
word of the day.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Today's word is appo, Matt. I don't I think you
know this about me? I mean, I know you know
a lot about me and pay a lot of attention
to what's going on with me, you know, of course, yeah,
you know a lot. You know, like John Elway and
Don Martin, you know, you know, like a single white
fear take us.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Thieves guys man always thankest thing.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
But I do make it a habit while I watch
baseball to watch the opposition broadcast. When I watch Dodges,
I learn more that way. I enjoy the opposition.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Well, you've got the golden ticket, you've got the super
cool privileged access to all the opposing broadcast, I.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Think does everybody or you don't know? Okay, but I
love to watch the opposing broadcast. It makes me like
the Dodgers more listening to all the out of town
taught types talk about their team while they're going up
against the defending champions. Listening that to them say things like, well, yeah,
we're coup to pretty closer here, and there's always whether
(05:43):
or not podcast Pantona, is there a healthy contingent of Dodger?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
What stop bullying him? Did somebody say that we were
bullying him? Yeah? That was like right away on a
on a social media post. Okay, that we were. We
were bullying him. And he's a guy that's just trying
to provide opportunities the doubtlets for real Dodger fans.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
The guy that runs pantone is a grifter. You already
have to pay so much to be involved as a
Dodger fan. Why pay some other idiot even more, why.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Call your friends, go to a bar, hang out right,
You'll be fine. You can take a trip without pantone anyway, Uh,
travel agent, lean on them.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
You know it's not that hard. Uh you don't even
need a traveler anyway.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
That's true. Uh, there there is.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
There's always a lot of Dodger fans in the stands,
plus the Otani factor. The broadcasters, you can imagine Matt
makes them a little bit bitter that the Dodger fans
fill the stadium, and it helps me root for the
Dodgers a little bit to spite the out.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Of town guys.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
So anyway, last night I was watching the broadcast and
the d Backs broadcasters are Steve berthew remember the guy
from espen Perthue and Bob Brentley. Oh I like that
Rob brob Brentley, Brentley old for a while, old guy
for the old guy who was the catcher who was
(07:13):
I think their manager when they won the World Series.
And last night there was an anniversary of Randy Johnson's
twenty plus strikeout game or whatever, and they interviewed Randy
Johnson for a half inning on the d Backs broadcast
last night. Fun and I was like, what is that sound?
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Like?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
What is happening?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Like?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I started looking around and like freaking out, and I
realized that Randy Johnson's hearing aids were whistling, Dixie, oh,
like his hearing aids. And I was like that, that
sounds like a hearing aid, but he ain't that old.
And then I'm looking at him and the hearing aids
are sticking out of his ears. You know, your dad
wears a hearing aid, or your mom or somebody like you, grandma,
(07:59):
you know, you ug him up close and it's like
it's like sonar and uh so this guy's his ears
were whistling like a teapot. And Berthume was getting testy
with Randy because like Randy was like, oh, you know,
Randy was clearly nervous, not not really a talkative, super
outwardly friendly guy in public.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I guess is the rub on red.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
He doesn't seem like a bad guy, just seems like
getting kind of bristly and maybe a little. Don McClain asked,
and Berthume was like the king of the one word
answers Randy Johnson. I was like, oh my god, whoa,
this guy's ears are freaking ringing he's getting called out
by punk ass Berthume. I mean, wow, I enjoy checking
(08:47):
the opposition broadcast, and I'll be checking back with Brandley
and Berthume tonight to see what else is going on,
because uh, I mean, it's I don't know, something to do,
something to do this time of year.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It's something that no one else can lay claim to.
Everybody else watching Joe Davis or Caros or whoever's out there.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
If Jessica's there, you know that that. You know, I
get off the opposing broadcast to say, get my Mendoza going.
But other than that, yeah, I can take it to
leave it.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Here's my number. Number of the day. Number the day
is one hundred. I remember the first time I saw
the Mustang GT cop cars rolled out on the freeways
back in the nineties, those old cheese Greater tail lights,
the five ozero badgette outside the front wheel, suggesting, well,
(09:40):
the interceptor was as fast as f with that Mustang
engine and it's dialed in suspension. It was still a
Crown VIC and back then the five oh was the
scourge of the streets. Dudes in tank tops with mullets
and moose you know this all in ass smoking cigarettes.
(10:01):
This this car doesn't corner well, but it's gonna go
real fast, straight line around town.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Tosso Papadaka has had a white one with the with
the Venetian lines and the.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Oh yeah, the louvers uh. And we have chronicled this
a lot, by the way, a lot of cigarettes. Looking
for a Mustang Gallopingford dot com they got forty one
of them right now, ready for immedia delivery. We've chronicled
this before. When Dodge decided to stake their claim to
a portion of the American car market is they had
(10:38):
been failing miserably up to this point. They decided not
to do it with gas economy or interior technology. They
did it with American Muscle with massive monster horsepower engines
in the equivalent of a rental car, Dodge Chargers, Dodge Challengers,
and then they came with the SUV Durangole with Hemis
(11:01):
and Hellcats and five hundred and six hundred and eight
hundred horsepower. F everyone, you think you can go fast
in a straight line, check out this s and during
COVID it was like the goddamn Pomona Fairplex dragstrip with
a Christmas tree out there. On the freeways, and it's
really carried over, much like the behavior of our sales
(11:23):
staff is carried over from COVID when they could work
remotely and they barely show up into the office anymore.
And Fridays are in absolute ghost town with tumblits Calico
out here, the uh pioneer town. The freeways in southern
California are still rife with challenger and charger pilots that
(11:48):
have no interest in your well being and insist upon
going north of eighty five miles an hour no matter
what traffic looks like. So the CHP has decided to
fight fire with fire. Oh yeah, they're adding some uh
some firepower, Matt. Check check out on Man. This like
Rubo cup two. Yes, check out. The Commissioner of the CHP,
(12:10):
Sean der Ye, with this message for those folks.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Today, I'm at the CHP Fleet Operations Section in West
Sacramento to announce the newest addition to our fleet, the
twenty twenty four Dodge Duringo specially marked patrol vehicle. For
forty years, the CHP is used specially marked patrol vehicles
to tackle specific traffic safety challenges. These new patrol units
distinct from Our iconic black and whites retain the manufacturer's
(12:37):
paint job, helping officers blend into traffic and catch reckless
drivers in the act. We're deploying one hundred of these
vehicles statewide to confront a growing threat aggressive drivers who
speed excessively, tailgates, split lanes, and endangered lives. When they
spot our march units, they often change their behavior briefly.
(12:58):
These new patrol vehicles will help us hold them accountable.
Each Durango features a V eight HEMI engine, police concealed
three hundred and sixty degree emergency lighting, and a version
of the HP badge on the door. Officers in full
uniform will operate them primarily on multi lane freeways with
(13:19):
a clear mission to identify and stop reckless and dangerous drivers.
Despite advances in vehicle safety, California still sees over four
thousand traffic deaths annually. Most of these are preventable. A
small percentage of aggressive drivers put everyone at risk for
nearly one hundred years. Work to keep our minds see
(13:39):
and we take that mission seriously. These new vehicles are
another powerful tool for tech California's motoring public and help
everyone arrive home safely.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Hell yet. Yeah, der ye, we're gonna fight muscle with muscle.
We get a hemmy in this bitch.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Oh that'll calm things down out on the roads, Matt
It it feels like when two superheroes get in a fight,
you know, and they wrecked the holes.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I love it. I freaking love it. It's like rampage.
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I used to like on a rampage where you can
eat people. Oh yeah, pull them out of the window.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Here's my number. This is the song of the Day.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
Friday is the title of our song of the Day
from talented English musicians, singer and songwriter Joe Jackson. A
great tune to spin on a Frogman Friday, where the

We bring them in as well.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
So like today, we had six team players in today,
so that means four groups, which means four workouts. And
so it's just more this year. And I don't know
if that'll change moving forward or it's here to stay,
but it's been great because we got a lot of
really good players in the gym. It's just basically double
(17:18):
or triple what we normally do every year. And my
reward is I get to get on a plane to
Chicago on Mondays. The combine.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
All that money, That's what it sounds like to me.
Dono means all that money.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Don McClain rolling into money, killing snakes all day. Don
But we did not talk to you since the Clippers
were ousted. Very disappointing the way it went down to
what a crazy deal, a bad draw, but man, I
thought that they could have beat the Nuggets.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I did too, and I thought that this because everything
and we talked about this. I thought everything had lined
up perfectly the way they man It's Kawhi during the year,
and he was healthy and playing really well down the
home stretch into the playoffs. I was really surprised that
they didn't win that series. Now, when you put yourself
in a Game seven on the road, you know that's
what can happen. And I think that, you know, there's
(18:15):
still some things, but we have to remember this that
the Clippers overachieved this year. You know a lot of
people didn't think they'd be five hundred in the regular
season and they way way clips at and so you know,
moving forward, do you look at the Game seven as Okay,
what do you do now? Or was it just one game?
(18:37):
But they did overachieve the entire season. So do you
run it back next year thinking, Okay, we lost the
Game seven, but this team's still good enough to get
to the Western Finals. That's the question.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Don What do you make of You know, I just
kind of you watched the way the Game seven played out,
how it got away from him, the lack of production,
you know, particularly from hard in the comments after the
game about Game seven is all about effort, it's all
about want, and they clearly outpaced us. There just kind
of your takeaway at how that particular game played out
(19:11):
against this team and then these games that had been
so competitive up to that point.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Yeah, that's why it's disappointing, because I think everybody would
view this Clipper season differently even if they had lost,
but it had been a competitive game. I think it
just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Do you
get to a Game seven and you literally get blown out?
And so that's why I said earlier, like you start
to think, is this not the right team? Do we
(19:37):
need to trade some guys? Do we need different pieces?
What do we need to win? Which overshadows what a
great regular season they really had based on what they
lost last summer, And you know, the roster that they
build and people in Kawhi not playing for half the year.
So I don't know, it's interesting and it'll be fascinating
to see what they do in the offseason, if anything,
(19:57):
with their roster. But it certainly was disappointing, and I
think it was disappointing as well. And I think Harden's
just a microcosm of the team because he had a
terrific regular season All Star again but just didn't play well.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
In Game seven. Yeah, just kind of to your original point,
you know, I mean, you know all about roster construction,
you know what you see out there? Does it make
sense to you know, you can extend Norman Pole. I
would assume Harden's gonna opt out of that player option
because of how well he played in the regular season. Like,
are you comfortable kind of running this group back and
(20:31):
seeing if another year can produce another fifty win season,
a top four seed, and a run of a title. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
The thing is that I haven't looked at their cap.
I don't know what that means. How willing is Balmer
to go into the apron or the second apron to
try and get over the hump? I mean, I would
think based on how it went now again, they overachieved,
like they did better than what people thought. So if
you had a roster to start last season with what
most people thought would be at best a play and
(21:00):
they end up being in the playoffs and not in
the play in tournament, that you could add to it.
But financially, can you are you willing to? And I
think that's the question. Look, Steve Ballmer's always been great
about paying whatever to do what's necessary to win. So
I have a feeling that they're not going to stand pat.
(21:21):
I don't know anything. I haven't talked to anyone, but
I just have a feeling that they're not just going
to run it back with the same exact group.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Don mcclan is our guest.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
He knows about the NBA, modern and not so modern,
and of course how to get into the NBA NBA
and train young athletes for the draft. Don, in today's NBA,
is it a shock to you that Draymond Green gets
to kick everybody's nuts and nothing ever seen? Y?
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Yeah, I don't understand why one player in the NBA
seemingly his feet in his hands and elbows elbow either
wind up on someone's face or head or they're growing
like every time, all the time. He never hits anyone
in the chest, in the arm. It's always in the
(22:11):
head or in.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
The nuts, sometimes in the lines, sometimes.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
In Yeah, And I don't understand it, like these broadcasters,
and I'm not Look, it's all of them, and I
get it because I do it too. You can't go
over the line and you know, talk about the NBA
or the NCAA or a certain conference or whatever. But
it's like, guys, it's obvious now, It's obvious every time
he gets tangled up, he hits somebody in the head
(22:36):
or in the nuts. And I just can't believe that
he just keeps getting a free pass for all this.
And I was taught Jason Richardson, whose son Jason's with
us for this from Michigan State. Jason's been there every day,
greatest guy on the planet. Really getting to know him
has been unbelievable. But he and I look at each
other every time this happened for the last six weeks,
and like he would have gotten his ass kicked. I
(22:57):
don't know how many times if he was playing the nineties,
Like literally, he'd have been knocked out ten times by
now in his career by somebody.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Oakley or Mason or somebody like.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
That, anybody like no one's back. I hate though when
I played thing, but it really was about that. It
was like respect back then, you hit me in the
head and like egregious, like extra swinging of the elbow
for no reason, I'm punching you, period. And that was
across the board, and like now, it's like, I get it, guys,
(23:29):
I want to get fined and lose money in the
whole bit. But more than that, I just can't believe
that the league continues to overlook this stuff. It's crazy
to me.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah, the idea that they don't want her to pick
up another tax so he'll be suspended for a game
is just too daunting. I'd be in a freaking idiot.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Then sorry, guy, you're suspended.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Stop being an a hole. Yeah, we you know, while
we no longer have the Lakers, who are a three seed,
nor the Clippers, who were favored in the series against
the Nuggets playing in the second round, nationally, the basketball
fans have the Knicks, and you know what that means
when it comes to the national media. Don people get
damn excited. They won both games in Boston, very similar
(24:08):
to what Boston has done all season. Late game collapses,
missing threes, taking too many threes. Just kind of your
thoughts on when you look at who's left over there
in those four teams, if we could have a New
York Nick squad in the NBA Finals, and how freaked
out all the basketball fans would be if that happened.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I don't see why not. I mean, I'm not watching
anything where I say, you know, and I forget the
numbers of teams being up too oh. But it's pretty
good when you're up to oh if you're gonna win
the series. But they still got work to do, you know.
That's the thing about playing Boston. If they're not hitting them,
you got a really good chance of beating them. But
if they're making them, you got no chance of beating
them either. And so we'll see if Boston can get
(24:47):
it going in the Garden from.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Behind the line.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
And there's been a lot of a lot of dialogue
about them shooting too many threes, and I think this
is why people were saying that. But it doesn't mean
they can't go into the Garden and get hot for
two and all of a sudden, the season back to Boston.
It's tied to too Garden v.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Garden.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
A lot of angry, joyless East Coast people involved in
that rivalry, no doubt about it. Don do do you
like in the West? I mean, it's it just feels
like a toss up.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
No.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
I think the Thunders, I think they've proven and I
know they lost Game one, but I just I think
the rust. I think the one thing that's come up
that's been interesting to me is the whole rest versus
rust thing, And I think the rust has worn out
or has won out in the sense that the teams
that had like five, six, seven days off is weren't
ready to play game one, Cleveland being one of them
(25:44):
and Okay See being the other. And it's like not
that you can change that or you want to change it.
But I just think that that's an interesting part of
the playoffs so far. But I think I think Okay
season gear now and I would be surprised if they're
not coming out of the.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Way West last one for you, don just another big
picture because the Lakers and Clips are out playoff conversation.
If I take Jokich off the board and you still
and you've got a lot of players that that you
help get to the league and Donovan, Mitchell and Halliburton,
who do you think the best player and shake Gilgess Alexander,
who do you think the best player left in the
(26:21):
playoffs is? If I take Jokich off the board, is
it Shaye By by a long shot? Or do you
think there's you know, Tatum, I mean you got a
lot of good players still out there.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Yeah, well, let's let's talk about the playoffs first. Like,
the playoffs are different than the regular season, and so
games are usually tight. There's a blow there's a blowout
here and there, but they're typically tight. And if who
can execute, who can make plays down the stretch? Who
has the stones for that? And I would say it
(26:50):
might be Brunson. He's proven time and again that the
moment doesn't affect him and that he likes being tied
down to up to you with a couple of minutes
to go. And so he's not the best player left
in the playoffs, but he might be the best playoff
player left in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
One and only Don McClain headed out to Chicago, which
is what what do you get? Another day, older and
deeper in debt. Enjoy yourself out there. We love you
and thank you for doing it. Don, have a good one.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yep, all right, guys see it.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
I mean we've known Don for twenty years. No, I
love you too. But Casparius gave it up right away.
I mean, four roofs man. He is making bank, He's
making that Cooper flag money. We love you, Casparius now,
First of all.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
We'll be right back with some reaction, right, Matt, How
come I can't be like a ball boy and get
some of that good McClain money.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I'll shag balls right right. I'll wash balls too, Yeah
you will. I'll tell you to hustle. Yeah, show me
some hustle, guys. All right, guys, you're all done.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Get over to the ball washing and pull smoking area
with Petro some mout over there.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Hey, guys, let's go. Let's hustle Colin today. Guys. Get
over to the pole smoking and ball washing. Uh. All right, guys,
drills over over to the pole smoking station. We'll be
back with all whistling, Phil Jackson and more. All you
(28:33):
gotta do is hit up the Zen sheet counter at
any participating Ralph's grocery store. Scan the QR code. Oh,
we'll be there for Sweet Life Day. We will be there.
I don't believe we can share what day it is,
but we will be there. It'll be in the next
two weeks. Enter for your chance to win this once
in a lifetime. Can I ask? Every day on the
(28:53):
sheet it says Zenhi oh am, I supposed to say that.
Now that's a TYPEO man. Okay, she wheet life experience. Yeah,
I said it ever since you wrote it out. It's
a type of man. I didn't know if that's what
we call the sweet life. Neat no more details at
A five sports dot com. Oh that's an it's an
(29:16):
easter shaped like an easter egg sort of.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
Does a fine brought to you by your so called
Toyota dealers.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
We make it easy, all right.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Uh this says damn pe the way Don McClain just
puffed out his chest going after Draymond Ronnie, better think
twice before smart before being a smart ass next time
Don's in the studio.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Don was uh the most animated I've heard Don in
a long time going after Draymond Green. Draymond, You know,
Draymond Green does seem like an angry guy. Every time
he punches somebody or kicks him in the nuts, he
seems like an angry guy. So I don't think that's
a median narrative.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
I'm with Don and I don't get it. And I
get why someone just doesn't absolutely level them and look
at the Adam Silver and say, what do you want? Dude?
You let it get to this. It's your fault. Well,
maybe we should send Ronnie after him.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
Writing Got a Gun for the next couple of days.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Wait, Ronnie, how is the state allowed to have two
official songs?
Speaker 7 (30:18):
I don't know, don that's that's what I read. What's
the other one? I don't know and didn't care. It's
immaterial for this particular segment.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Of the show. Damn it.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Maybe if Matt told down that Jason McIntyre calls James
Hard and Jim Harden when he doesn't play well in
the playoffs, Dog could tell him and then maybe he'll
turn it around.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Paper Cliff, my paper Cliff, Jim Harden for let me
call him after a game. Something like that.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
The Masters in Coaching must have a whole segment on
how to blow a whistle effectively?
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Is there that, Kate? Do you guys cover that the Masters?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Is there a bike shorts segment where you talk about
how how tight you could wear your bike shorts, bike
nuts nuts hugged.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Up in there? And no, But I think a whistle
segment actually would be pretty good. You know, the proper
time to blow a whistle as opposed not to blow
a whistle? Got it? And teaching and coaching? Thank you, Matt.
We appreciate your whistle. That is the inappropriate time to
blow a whistle.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Hey Pete, I'm a line cook and thanks to you,
every time I get a ticket with chicken on it,
I start singing, Wop wop chicken chicken buck brock chicken head,
bck buck chicken chicken buck brock chicken head. Well, congratulations
and we are your line cook show of record. It's
not even clothes, not even close water up. We test
(31:48):
drove a durango HEMI and I made my wife cry.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
My wife.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Is Matt really on his Challenger slash Chargers soap box again?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yes? Yeah, yes, I am he was. He was for sure.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Guys, whoa, oh, you're onto something with the angels. In
the outfield reference for Matt and the Bolts Hallmark's Holiday
Thunderbolt to Your Urethra, Matt plays the bad play by
play announcer, the bad guy. How is he bad? He's
(32:30):
trying to perve out on the protagonist. He tries to
drown her boyfriend when he invited the guy for a
crunchy groove In Sunset, Samson seal Beach. That's all part
of my Sound's pretty good. Hey Skyler, why don't you
go inside and get us something cool to drink, and
I'll take Lance out of here surfing.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Eh, let's go paddle, get a few. What do you say, Lance?
How did he do that? Angry? Is this the angry player?
My playing fans? Is it playing? You're going to see run?
In Baseball Highlights? Four years?
Speaker 3 (33:08):
The bad guy, the bad guys.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Freaking out off air.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
I'm hanging, I'm hut.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
I want to ask on how bad the Angels in
the Outfield movie was, but as a millennial, it's tough
for me to put into words how effing psyched I
was to take on Satan after watching that movie. And
you're right, but you know what I mean, somebody's got
to tell the angels that the Angels in the Outfield
(33:42):
won't help you in the playoffs. Remember Christopher Lloyd said
in that movie, Matt championships have to be won on
their own.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
He did say that, And Tony Danza did not get
help from an angel in that last inning. Well, he died,
which is why he didn't get help from the angel.
By the way, matt was onto something yesterday with the
whole the whole list of actors in that movie. Matthew
McConaughey in that movie. He's the one that makes the
catch right there. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Well, it's it's quite believable. Actually, he's a movie and
he's an actor.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
And he's in it.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Enough fake, it's a script called for that moment, So
it's not unbelievable at all.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
It's unbelievable that nobody really points out that he was
in that movie and Brody and yeah, that guy won
an Oscar two.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
I think, right to this day, I still meant that
we could have had Jason Tatum if Magic didn't get
seduced by Strawberry pancakes. I think they drugged him and
hypnotized him into sleep. Damn those balls, Damn them all
to hell.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
You blew it up. You finally blew it up.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Hey, pe, I know when Casparius was talking about Oh
I got that one already. Okay, here's an Asian American
Pacific Islander qualification question.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
No, don't play it, please don't play it. Oh no,
oh god, no, not like what you blow your whistle again?
Too short?
Speaker 3 (35:07):
This says I'm a goat on an uninhabited San Clemente Island,
which has been target practice site for Navy ships and
amphibious assault exercises. Do I qualify? It's an island in
the Pacific and I've been fired and landed upon by
the US Navy. Don't get more Pacific Islander than that.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Am I wrong? No, sir, not at all. Thank you
for your service.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
You can celebrate Asian American Pacific Islander Month with the
rest of US Pacific islanders. Petros, my aunt down and
Seal Beach just got a new puppy. I told her
to be on the lookout for a tweaker with a
surfboard with his flashlight and keep that dog out of
the front yard unsupervised. The gummy bandit is known as
(35:54):
a person in these parts. Now careful, Matt.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
I being careful. Uh, Kates forgot I had my whistles
on my lacrosse referee in days. I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Uh, this is about your elevator incident. Kate's oh yeah,
horrified hearing about Tim Kates's elevator ordeal on the podcast.
I feel for him. Like him, I'm a stubby legging
man and I know there's no way I could reach
the ceiling of an elevator to climb my way out However,
also like Tim Kates, I could shoot my way out
(36:30):
of the elevator. Well, okay, that could have happened too.
Did you have your gun? I thought you didn't bring
your gun here. No caprende wow, no kaprende kimo. Subby
Kates just went into full Fernando mode and acted like
(36:51):
he didn't speak England.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
No obla.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Well, we'll be back. We have another hour of a
great sports talk and a half hour and a half
of great sports talk, and and then you're alone with
the during the weekend you only have the podcast on
