Speaker 3 (01:15):
What a night, What a night last night for Dodger fans.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Incredible, absolutely incredible night. A huge thank you to Dave
Weese for opening the iHeartRadio Suite. To the Petros and
Money Show families. Friends, it was a wildly enjoyable time
for one hell of an event.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Pete.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
The debut of Otani on the Mount.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yes, and Otani pitched, and then it was over after
one inning. But the game went on and our guy
Casparius did quite well and the Dodgers won. And the
Dodgers will play again tonight and it will be a
bullpen game. But overall, I don't feel like the night
(01:56):
as far as what it was sold as Blake'snell Bobblehead night,
which everybody was really excited about.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I don't think anybody mentioned Blake Snow except for my
wife who said, they told me I got the very
last one at that gate. This is the last one given.
So they did run out, you know, ran out. I mean,
you know somebody wanted it, so I mean everybody got one.
I mean it's not like people were throwing them back
like fish that people didn't want. So how would you
(02:22):
describe that bobblehead like a piece of rotten fish? I
don't want.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I mean, I don't know. I mean, it didn't seem
as if it was the It wasn't. It really wasn't
the centerpiece of the evening.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I know they did have the photo of the bobblehead
up on the wall or up on the Diamond Vision
a couple different times acknowledging that it was in fact
Blake Snow Bobblehead night.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
But the focus was on show. Hey, Otani never seen
the Dodgers have that many people in the stands before
first pitch ready to go. It feels like, as the
young people say these days, everybody understood the assignment, so
to speak, and got there right on time because they
(03:06):
knew that the Dodgers were not going to have Otani
in there very long because of the excellent reporting of
people like our own David Vass. David Vasse will join
us this hour or no next hour live from Dodgers
Stadium and he'll be on TV again tonight, which means
Tim Kats will have Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You hit it on the head yesterday, by the way,
with the Joel Myers Kobe Bryant eighty one point listen,
Nord Pattis is a dear Fred f called the Nfcchipchip
Game for me.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
That it's an old story a lot of people might
not remember, and it is an old story, but a
very good story, a very a very relevant to this situation.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Story.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Back when Kobe Bryant was playing for the Lakers and
was at the peak of his career, I guess the
peak of his hours, he played what you would call, yes,
that is us going down memory lane. He played what
you would call a kind of a throwaway game in
the middle of the football season, so mid January holiday season,
(04:19):
so not much going on in basket.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Already scored sixty and three quarters against the Mavericks. That right,
so magical year of Kobe.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
He took a game off to do a big twelve
championship game on radio or something.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
It was the Seattle Seahawks going to the Super Bowl
NFL plampionship game on radio, NFC championship game.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
And so Billy Mack, who was the fill in play
by play guy, came to do pill in play by
play on radio. Or TV and on Prime Ticket or
whatever it was then Fox Sports West two and or
Fox Sports West, and Billy Mack ended up calling one
of the most iconic Kobe Bryant games of all time,
if not the most iconic. Again, it's the Toronto Raptors
(05:01):
eighty one points and Joel Myers not only never got
over it but still will not even speak to Billy
Mack to this day as if it's Billy maxfault.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, it was like a coup that he was pulling
to take over the play by play gig from Joel,
which eventually he did.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah, he eventually did, and which ends up you know,
and then Joel Myers, you know, would call him an
effing snake and things of that nature. So yeah, it
was a very comparable story where last night David Vassy,
Now I don't know what Kirsten was doing, but David Vass,
I'm assuming she's on vacation. But David Vassy swooped in
(05:37):
and it was very impromptu. Otani decided that he wanted
to pitch the Dodgers acquiesced. He pitched one inning. Everybody
and their mom was there at Dodger Stadium in place
to watch it. Happen, and David Vasse got to do
the TV sideline, which means he got to interview and
(05:57):
there was no fight from show Hey, what I understand?
He was standing there they.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Smile, waiting, waiting, knowing that he was the post game inn.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
It like Mount Fuji patiently waiting for David Vase to
climb the peak and talk to him and will the
thrill Show.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Hey, I know you're a team guy, and you guys
won the ball game tonight, but the fans are curious
to know. How did it feel to be back on
the mountain.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Tonight, Montoni?
Speaker 7 (06:29):
I take.
Speaker 8 (06:35):
Well, First of all, I'm very grateful for all this,
you know, staff members, people who's supported me throughout this
whole progress. I'm very grateful that I'm back here, healthy
and pitching again.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Show Hey, did you feel full again as a baseball
player tonight?
Speaker 8 (06:52):
The conca.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
My kick? I think you a second.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Step, Majoe.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I'm up, I do.
Speaker 8 (07:03):
I thought that I'm not quite happy with the results,
but there were a lot of time I was able
to take away from today's out in today's game.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
On a night light tonight, where you got so many
contributions from so many of your teammates. How much more
special is a win and a night like tonight?
Speaker 8 (07:20):
I mean, full cut up, you know all things.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I don't talk a bit like how much you did?
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I'll put up in said, guy got to kill.
Speaker 8 (07:38):
It's a really great team win offensively, and also they
both ended up amazing job holding on to the win
and it was a really really nice win.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Congratulations on the Great Night Show. Hey, great to have
you back on the Man and great to see the
Dodgers win again tonight.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Thank you, thank you. There he goes the Man Show.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Hey, o Tani, beautiful, beautiful man. Well done, Dave, good
questions sol it.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Now we do have it on good authority that Shoe
al Tani, like a bad call on the PitchCom will
wave off a postgame interview if he yeah, he will
wave it off.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
But he stood there like Fuji, ready for David Vasse
and willing to engage with the fans. And it was
a great night for Dodger fans.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
The anticipation and the silence when he was actually pitching
was just really eerie and crazy, crazy stuff and really cool.
And he's probably gonna pitch once a week, as he
continues to get as they say, stretched out.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah, I think, as Dave said yesterday when he joined us,
you know you kind of feel I guess, I don't
know if your benk a Spirius. What's cooler being a
starter spars and getting those you know, those starts on
your resume or being the guy that kind of allows
Sho hal Tani to do this, you know, as opposed
(09:01):
to you know, well, we can't really tax our bullpen
and but Casparius is truly the skeleton key to all
of this, that that allows him to go in inning
or two or pulled out after however many pitches and
the first inning po pulled way early on that one
because of of what Young Ben. Much like our intern,
(09:21):
he's able to offer the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
And Young Ben the intern was able to offer us
an efficient podcast so Tim Kates could stay and do
Morongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck and Dodger Clubhouse and Dodger Talk.
Speaker 9 (09:33):
Yes, Tim, I'm glad you brought that up. About the
silence in the top half of the first inning. I
sounded shot me at the beginning, like, wait, where's the order?
The words of the profits are painted on the subway
walls where's deed to rule with the dund dun dund,
like the organ or the little music or drops in
between pitches to keep the rhythm of a game going,
which you're so accustomed to.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
But was show hey out there? He was a spotlight.
Speaker 9 (09:56):
You didn't need the other stuff surrounding the game of
base It was literally utter silence. You can hear a
pen drop in Dodger Stadium in those initial pitches that
he threw in that top half of the first sitting.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
And it was weird, was it not?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
It was?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
It was eerie and fabulous.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Great point where if it were a different time, you
would have heard the sounds of shutters opening and closing
on every camera. Instead it was just the side of
every phone in the place, like the old Ralph Garman
Celebrity report plee exactly.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Shows I'll c if baseball everybody was jimk Jim Kates
is really working. Last night he hosted the three shows.
He had his family in the booth like you said
on time, and he was looking all around the stadium
with his head on a swivel, picking out the star
(10:51):
studded types. He found Jim Harbaugh and took a photo
of Jim Harbaugh walking around staring at things. This thousand
yards stare from five yards, the voice of the Bolts,
Matt Smith. Of course he loves Jim Harball because Jim
Harbaugh is the head coach of Matt's Chargers. Where's your
charge of Pride, Dean spanos so today this morning? Because
(11:18):
Tim Kats cannot help himself. He's sitting there driving around
listening to Colin Cowherd and Colin Cowhard. We don't have
Jim Harbaugh on Colin cow Heard, but he's he's on there,
but we don't have him on the Petros and Money Show.
So it's not like we know the voice of the
Bolts or anything. He was just on a few weeks
(11:39):
once a year. And so Jim Harbaugh is on with
Colin Cowhard chopping it up. And what does Kates do?
He texts Greg Tooey Blake Griffin ees nice Man, who
is on stand by the producer of Colin Coward Show,
and tells him Harball was at the Dodger game lefelast
(12:00):
night to see Otani and then Kate stand by stand
by stand by if he impacted the interview.
Speaker 10 (12:06):
By the way you saw tany pitched last night. I
think it's just unbelievable. It's just unbelievable. He's good looking.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Did you hear that? I mean because the interview wasn't
going that way before, and then that the spark of inspiration,
the Promethean fire, all thanks to Tim kats By.
Speaker 10 (12:28):
The way you saw TONI pitch last night, I think
he's It's just it's just unbelievable. He's good looking, he's great.
Like you talk about the whole package. He's magnetic. When
you go to a Dodger game, it doesn't even feel
I mean, you know what great is.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
When great is when among great players they.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Look up to you.
Speaker 10 (12:49):
I always used to say this about Mike Tyson. Other
heavyweight fighters were intimidated by Mike Tyson.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
That's what great is.
Speaker 10 (12:57):
You watched o'tani last night?
Speaker 5 (12:59):
What do you see?
Speaker 11 (13:01):
I was just blown away by the whole thing, Uh,
just everything.
Speaker 12 (13:04):
Uh, his his walk up song, I mean, uh, the uh,
the way he puts his bat you know, at the
end of the top of the plate there and he
measures it and he puts his foot in the same spot,
and uh, you know, I really watched him as there
was my son Jack, who's a who's a twelve year
old baseball player, and son Johnny who's eight, and Katie
(13:25):
and I'm going, I'm just studying.
Speaker 11 (13:27):
Just watch watch, uh watch him. He's in a rhythm.
Speaker 12 (13:32):
Everything he does is to create the rhythm. He does
it the same way every time. Look at that the
pitching motion, whether it's from the stretch or from the
you know, from the from the wind up of his
his routine.
Speaker 11 (13:45):
Rhythm, rhythm, you know, rhythm, get the rhythm, get the freak,
you know, get the the freaking rhythm. Rhythm, the freaking rhythm.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
You know it.
Speaker 12 (13:54):
You just watch it with him and uh yeah, the
the uh hit him nukes a couple of nukes is uhs.
Johnny with my son eight year old would say, uh,
just incredible. The walk up song is so good. Uh
just everything about it.
Speaker 11 (14:12):
But that's sports, you know, Colin. You gotta you've got
to be able to uh to get the rhythm.
Speaker 12 (14:17):
You get out of rhythm, you start trying to make
adjustments and and then you're out there, you're out there floundering.
So uh, youngsters in sports, uh, you know, getting the rhythm,
have that rhythm trained and practiced.
Speaker 11 (14:31):
And then go do your job. Uh, get the rhythm
and and uh and let the chips fall where they may.
Speaker 12 (14:38):
But don't try to start start questioning yourself or making
uh making adjustments. I mean, that's that's uh, that's probably
my biggest takeaway of watching, uh, watching last.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Night's game, and then flip live to Tim Kates sitting
in the front seat of a Silverado.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Pumping his fish. Jerry, take me. I mean you you
gave coward two and a half minutes.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I mean you gave him, You gave him, You gave
him the whole thing. Coward didn't re of you.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
He was the idea.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
He was floundering like a fish on the on the
on the deck.
Speaker 9 (15:15):
I mean they're just sitting there talking about how great
Herbert is, and we know Herbert's great, and how much
he loves Herbert, and Derwin James got the energy of
like ten thousand men, and you know he could fight
a hundred guys, the only guy who could do that
one versus one hundred, and I you know we could
do it. How great the bolts are. And then it's like,
you know what great, good. Let let's break this up
a little bit. Let's just talk a little baseball.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Last night.
Speaker 11 (15:37):
These producer buck shows.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
I'll see I have Baseball ninety six so much breaks.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Everybody mentioned how good looking Otani is. He mentioned that
bull Blaze, that's a good song, a fie good.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Kate's thought it was an original TI to tell about
this song from nineteen sixty four.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
That everybody knows that needed some uncovered.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
I needed some uncovering it cover it was covered in
that nineteen sixty four musical.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
That it came up exactly right. That was all bout
blay bubl but news they were really able to stretch
out that boublet while Otani was stretching out you know
what I'm saying. Yeah, people were freaking out in Dodger Stadium.
You've never seen him freaking out that one.
Speaker 11 (16:23):
What was that?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
They're gonna have to pay rights fees on that one
for Boulay Yeah, oh yeah, the BMI is gonna come
looking for a check for that one. Tod your stadium.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Now you can't come down here anymore now, Canada.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
The borders clothes, bobl I love, I love coaches detail
everything he saw last night. I was waiting for him
to talk about the path to the bathroom and to
the parking lot that could have been talking with passion, that.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Could have been that's what we're doing. We're taking a
victory lat for giving a question to another show.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Right that you put in a request for coach today
saying hey, we're the dog your station. We were at
the Dodgers game last night, Josh I saw him. There
can we get coached?
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
They said he's already going on coundar.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Did you write back, Coward's a coward. Coach does not
like cowards. You liked competitors, The Petros money shows full
of competitors.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
It's what we do. We compete.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
And miss color exactly coward.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Uh check. It ain't nothing but a bird. But it
was a hell of a night and we were there
to witness it and Tim kaits we'll have again tonight
the aftermath. Will it be as exciting? No, no, it won't.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I don't know, man, it could get crazy.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
No, Bubla, there's not gonna be any well, I guess
there will be boublay.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
What if like Dryer starts the game though, or sour?
Oh if sour gets out there. You know who's coming
back tomorrow, our Irish American friends. She yeah, and that's
kind of cool. Right, and we've got that going for us.
Pretty cool, I know what you're thinking.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Kinds like us we are and it doesn't don't care.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Like after you see, after you see, after you see
a tany you know what you know and everything else.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Pails in comparison.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Waiting to see she in Man six five skinny Kid
pre Tommy John surgery, post Tommy John surgery.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Has he been eating? He's a grown ass.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Man six one three ten man doing nose tackle. So
you like to eat, don't you? You like to eat,
don't you? Six? So that's a lot of Dodger talk
to get going there, Matt. But it was a big
night at Dodger stayed great night. Yeah, just fabulous.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
I uh uh.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Tip of the cat the Dave. We see really when
we think about some of our past trips into the stadium,
spending time in the suite, ran out of hot dogs
two different times. He orders more six hundred dollars meatballs
the fruit plate. I mean, what can you say about
the fruit plate?
Speaker 9 (19:01):
Yeah, I didn't see those extra hot dogs coming.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Yeah, we did run out twice, but they brought more in.
I think I saw him with the first round of
bringing in more dogs.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
I disagree.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I told Calli just to take a sip of the
hot dog flavored water. I was like, it's just lik
eating a hot dog. She wasn't buying it.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Though, we will jerk the wheel a little bit and
tell some stories that are not Otani related, because that's
of a show. Then, well, there is somebody out there
that just can't stand for anybody to get the attention.
Colin Coward, well that was our fault today.
Speaker 10 (19:46):
By the way, you saw Tani pitch last night.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
We gave that to Cowhard like John Baptist's head on
a platter. And what do we get out of it?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
God damn it, Beeves, are you reacting to the College
Baseball World Series. Yeah, they had second and third, nobody
out in a tie game and they can't score anyone
and freaking catcher's interference to put a guy on base
on an O two count and they lose in the
(20:19):
bottom of the ninth to Louisville.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Well, my thought is at least Louisville's not in the
sec that's true. We'll be right back with the flip
top story of the day. We've made it even easier
to take La sports with you this summer.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Make AM five to seventy or your favorite AM five
seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on the iheartradiop using
Apple Car Play or Android Auto road Trip all summer
with LA Sports.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Got Touchess Padres tonight, second of four games, so no
Thursday off this week. It'll be a bullpen game tonight
and that Shean makes his return tomorrow. Still still so,
still considerable excitement around this series, especially considering how the
Dodgers took two a three down in San Diego, pushing
the Padres back to third place.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I don't know, man, after seeing on TODDI pitch, everything
else is just right, just I don't even It's like
the day after Christmas. I didn't want to live anymore.
Jack Dryer's your opener tonight.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yeah, Dryer, Oh that's exciting.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Nobody's throwing more people off of buildings in Burbank on
TV than Jack Dryer.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I believe that's a correct stand. I think one of
those names is right. I feel like the other isn't.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
All right. Well, here we go, I'll clip you out,
I will look you out. This is the flip top
story of the day, all right. Luckily we don't have
to feel bad because there's another super athlete in town
who's the greatest player that ever lived, ever super double
Goat Goat boat trip goaded Lebron James. As you know
(22:08):
Lebron James, we talked about yesterday and the word of
the day. We played you a short audio clip.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Are the retirement?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
What's next?
Speaker 3 (22:21):
And then it phases the black and it's a black
if you remember that from yesterday, So we played that.
It was about, you know, what's next for him? Today
he paid off that tease, Oh what a tease a
new commercial called What's Next for Amazon where he spooped
the concept in a Prime day July eighth through eleventh
(22:45):
that sees him trying out everything from like a hibachi
chef to a barber, to a lounge singer like Boublet,
to a kid's camp director. So yeah, that's what that
was all about. We thought it was something else. Oh
(23:06):
that's all it was.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
But luckily Matt Oh there are three other Lebron stories
because you know, he got a stand a new jackpot.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Lebron spent the day doing interviews about his partnership with
Amazon Prime, which is also sponsoring his podcast. In an
interview with Steve Nash Your Favorite Low Energy Steve Nash Podcast.
In an interview with The Associated Press, he was asked
about his knee and his overall health as he prepares
(23:40):
for his twenty third season. Lebron said this, I have
a lot of time to take care of my injury,
my knee and the rest of my body and make
sure I'm as close to one hundred percent as possible
when training camp begins in late September. Lebron, who has
a player option for his upcoming season and will pay
him more than fifty two point six million doll point
(24:04):
two million dollars fifty six point two million, says the
best thing about his children that they've never pressured him
to end his career.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
They're like, Dad, continue on your dream. This is your dream.
Continue on your focus. You've been here with us this
whole time. When you have that type of support.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Are there so many It makes a lot of and
a lot easiers. And what's on the.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I'm gonna read the quote again. They're like, Dad, continue
on your dreams. This is your dream. Continue on your focus.
You've been here for us the whole time. I don't
know if you guys know this. Lebron's and grantest father
(24:58):

Speaker 3 (24:58):
First five period. When you have that type of support
makes it a lot easier.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Did get his son drafted by the layers.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Lebron has found it the rainbow connection. Bronni, Bryce and me,
congratulations a true dreamer. Every wish would be heard answered?
All right. That's story number two on Lebron James his
(25:33):
kids allowing to follow his dream to be an NBA
player deep into his forties.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
You think they're just sitting at home with their thirty
million dollar mansion and it's like, guys should keep playing again, Dad.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Dad, it's your dreams?
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Do it?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Why there's so many?
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I mean why not? You know it's your dream?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Bryce, You're are they going to retire from what you
love in your forties songs about Rainbow That was kind
of distracted by his song.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Well, I'm sorry, Matt. The man's a dreamer and he's
got a lot of dreams that are coming true every day.
Just because our dreams don't come true doesn't mean Lebron,
you agouldn't.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
And speaking of that, Matt. In an interview with The
Hollywood Reporter, whatever Am Radio's My dream, Lebron was asked
you've also acted. You were hilarious.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Now, this is a great question by the Hollywood reporter,
I mean the Hollywood reporter guy. You think you get
down on your knees and open your mouth like a
seal and you got nothing on the Hollywood reporter guy.
This guy is like a time the most famous hooker
in Thailand. Listen to this question. I mean, this guy
can turn himself into a pretzel. I mean unbelievable. Listen
(26:39):
to this. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Lebron
was asked, you've also acted. You were hilarious in train Wreck,
in which you played sort of a heightened version of yourself.
You're so big, both in physical stature and in fame.
Do you think you can play an actual character? Are
(27:05):
you ready for Lebron's answer, curd your lines. Hold on
to your seat, Matt. Here comes the answer. I think
that'll all boiled down to the creative writing into the role.
If the role is appropriate, I feel like I can
nail it, like I nail everybody as the king. Alright,
I'm sorry I put that in.
Speaker 11 (27:27):
That.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
I wouldn't mind doing that at all. I feel like
I could turn and beat somebody else that's not Lebron James.
I wish I were that deep in my train In
train Wreck, my name was not Lebron James, but it
was a version of me, my typical self, just playing
(27:49):
Bill Hayter's best friend during that movie. But yeah, I
would love to explore and if the scripts start to
roll in and there's an opportunity for me to do
something and I have that kind of time obviously post career,
I don't mind looking at it seeing if I could
make it a half rock.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
What he thinks he's gonna be the next Rock?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Why there's so many It wasn't my name.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
My name wasn't Lebron James in that movie. It was
Jabron Lames, Jebron Lames, Jebron Lame. The only person later
lamer than me in that movie was Schumer. Jabron Lame,
said Leron, jeb Bron Lens, jeb.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Bron jeb Bron Lame.
Speaker 9 (28:39):
And just think, guys, years down the road, Rob Polinka
could go and you know, start talking to other teams.
Maybe he's the GM or just a consultant somewhere, and
you know, not only talk about Kobe meeting the Heath Ledgers,
Like hey.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Right, I remember when Lebron wanted to get an act
and he didn't know what to do. He didn't nobody
just dove right in Jabron Lames, Jebron.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
I remember, just a really quick story.
Speaker 7 (29:02):
There was one time when told me, who I worked
with for eighteen years, was going back to playing Madison
Square Garden and he had just seen The Dark Knight.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
Obviously you guys saw that movie.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
And he's like, hey, hook me up with dinner with
Keith Ledger because you got so locked into that role.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I want to know how Lebron got really locked into being.
Speaker 9 (29:20):
Lebron Lames, Petros, do you ever want to get in acting?
You know, it depends tim depends on the writing, you know.
And if they started a call and you know, I mean,
uh started to call and asked.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Me what to do? I think I could be somebody
that's not.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Petros, pep Rose, Papa, take its pot Rose Popga.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Matt, you think you can get it acting?
Speaker 4 (29:49):
No?
Speaker 3 (29:50):
I am stiff as olo.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
Matt.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
You know you have to say this.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I think that will boil down to the creative riding
into the roles and the character right, and I can
I can be some at myth So the fourth story,
I mean none of us are Kim Taints.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Kim Taints. I mean that's a cocaine talking. You don't
give you a lot of cocaine. Confidence Award winning Kim
Taints is great actor. There's no actor anywhere better than
Kim Taints. Everybody knows that. But the fourth story, how
many time I didn't throw the ball in the before
to the hoop? Four? Sports talk radio often brings up
(30:32):
the goats of sports, and if you're considered one of
the greatest of all times, it's usually guys who have
a lot of championships in the NBA, you know, we
talk about Michael Jordan like he's a big deal. Only
six titles, Kobe Bryant, God Rest his soul, five titles,
Jabron Lames four four, while others like Charles Barkley never
(30:56):
even won what. In his most recent episode of Mind
in the Game sponsored by Amazon Prime podcast with the
low energy Steve Nash and Manhattan Beach, Jabron Lames pushed
back back back against the narrative that players who haven't
(31:17):
won any or many rings can't be in the conversation
as the greatest players of a spark.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Why is ring culture so much more prevalent in the
NBA than in other sports.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Well, I wish we had a simple answer.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Oh my goodness, I have I do not know the answer.
I wish I had the answer to this, but I'm
not sure. Man, It's funny. Yeah, I don't know. I
don't know why I was discussed so much in our sport.
And why is the all bey'all of everything?
Speaker 13 (31:49):
Like way, y'all, y'all, ay, y'all, I'm going a y'all
for yay, y'all, f around with a y'all, all up
in my names, all most up in a y'all?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Is that how you That's how you say it?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Right?
Speaker 3 (32:04):
The A all be all? I think I was an
English major. I'm pretty sure it's a.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
All letters A and B. I think you legitimately think
that it's like a all be all?
Speaker 5 (32:13):
And why is the all be all of everything?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Like stop stop acting like you're smart?
Speaker 5 (32:21):
And why is the all be all of everything?
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Like? And and why is the all be all of everything? Like, Okay,
you weren't a great player. If you never won a championship,
it's like, or if you won one, then you can't
be in the same conversation with this person's.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
That's a great point, because what you're saying is like
not no matter what you have, you any more, no
matter what, no matter.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
What, they it never end.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Yeah, And I don't know, man, it's just like you
sit here and you tell me, you know, Alan Iverson
and Charles Barkley and Steve Nash, you know, you know,
wasn't unbe like, oh, they can't be talked about or
discussed with these guys. Is because this guy one one
(33:09):
ring or one two rings or one like It's just
it's just weird to me. It's like saying Peyton Manning
can't be in the same room with Brady or my
homes because he only has one ring. They don't never
discuss that in the sport or telling me that Damn
Marino is not the greatest slinger of all time, or
he can't be in the room with those guys because
he didn't win a championship. They don't discuss those things.
(33:30):
You know, I don't know. I don't know. Did Berry
Bonds win a World Series? No, I don't think so.
I don't think so much. I never won a World Series.
And you can't sit here and tell me that he's
the greatest understand where it came from. I don't know
(33:52):
where it started. I just I just I hope that
we just we have to appreciate more of guys have
been able to accomplish guy's been able to do a
ring is a team accomplishment, right, And if you're happen
to have a you know, a moment where you able
to share that with your team, that should be discussed
(34:14):
this this team was the greatest team, okay or that team.
You can have those conversations, but like trying to nitpick
what can we do?
Speaker 5 (34:22):
Individual? Because he didn't.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
He was chasing ghosts? Did I miss that? Of who
the who? The guy was that had the quote of
I'm chasing ghosts because he wants to be considered the greatest.
There's only there's only five people that come up in
this conversation, and it's when discussing whether or not they
are the greatest of all that that's it?
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Hey, what's with this ring culture? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (34:48):
And why all beyond the all?
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Bey all, I'm chasing ghosts. That's what I'm doing. I'm
trying to become the greatest player ever. I expect people
to believe that I it's the greatest. I've ever played.
And that's that's why you find yourself in those conversations, Lebron.
Steve Nash is in all the conversations you're discussing of
some of the greatest point guards of all time. It's
(35:12):
it's it's mine, nummy. Oh, come on, Matt, it's truly
good stuff. You're the one that brought this up. No, Matt,
it depends on the writer and the role in the script. Okay,
we'll see if they can start rolling in.
Speaker 9 (35:24):
You know, baseball, we don't sit there and say, well,
how many World Series does you have? Because baseball is
more of an individual sport with the stats, I mean,
the stats of a player. I don't know, kill Kershaw
for being terrible in Award for a decade, Well by
you guys, but everybody else like, what do you mean
everybody else?
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Yeah, you're right, everybody else said, Hey, that Kershaw, he's
pretty good in the playoffs.
Speaker 9 (35:44):
I mean, did Barry Bonds when the world.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
I don't know, I don't know, did Barry Bonds win
a World Series?
Speaker 4 (35:50):
What?
Speaker 2 (35:50):
There's plenty of people, Lebron that that think that Dan
Marino is the greatest quarterback ever plenty.
Speaker 5 (36:00):
I mean, was he the one one.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
I mean, was he the you know, I don't know Peyton.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
And why is the a all be all?
Speaker 2 (36:08):
And he had a glove a all be all? Gabron Lames,
there he goes. That's four stories. How many times ago
that was upsetting? How many times they gonna pass the
ball for a shooting? That's four stories on Lebron James.
Speaker 9 (36:21):
Well, the NBA needs content between games. There's so many
weeks between between games.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
You can count on Gabron l Board between games. Don't worry,
we got Gabron Lames. What a story for you about
his kids telling him to chase his dreams, which is
why he wore that maid's outfit. The other story about
the right roles that come through and being an actor,
(36:50):
story about NBA ring culture.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I mean, I wasn't playing myself. I had a different name.
Damn missed the point. Missed the point of that question there, Lebron,
they played yours. Just do what you would do.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
You're so big. Do you think you could be somebody else?
I think I could be somebody who's not Lebron James.
Do you think you could be.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
One of the limits of your abilities? They're limitless. We'll
be right back with some reactions. You would have crushed
limitless with brad Cooper. She would have Bradley Cooper had
nothing on him in that role. Coming up next, a
little bit of reaction, David Mass say in our next
hour line from Dodger Stadium, dealing with the old Tammy pitching, aftermath,
(37:38):
the afterglow, the sadness after the little death.

Great sports talk requires a baseline level of sports history knowledge,
and Jabron Lames is below this level.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
Great talk It's possible. Uh, you know, if you're gonna
chop it up and do a podcast about sports, you
you have to have you You know, people do talk
about how Dan Marino never won a Super Bowl. Oh yeah,
they really do. And people that know a little bit
about sports know that Peyton Manning won too. Hey, Pete
(39:20):
smoking Weed is the a all and be all of
my day. Thank you Jabron Lames for being so stupid.
Speaker 5 (39:29):
All.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
He literally thinks it's like the alphabet, like the A
and B and wise the all be all. I mean, look,
I'm pretty I'm pretty stupid. And there's a lot of things,
you know, song lyrics that I've gotten wrong over the years.
I me think we all have these, but and you know,
things that we never understood. And you know, I've said
some things wrong over the years, and Matt has mocked
and criticized me that is not true. I have said
(39:54):
many things wrong, and you have mocked and criticized me.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
But that's their flip side of that coin to a
be all. No one's ever said that. No, which man
would I rather be? A man who's pretending that they
are smart or a man who criticizes Hey, f you, buddy,
how about that? This is our job?
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Okay, it's the guy who's criticizing smarter. No, this is
an A and B conversation, and you can see your
way out of it. I just brought the CN. How
is ring culture more prevalent in the NBA when it's.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
All they talk about in baseball, football, golf, tennis, and
every other sport with championships a bigger than that. No,
ring culture is only prevalent in the NBA. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (40:47):
I don't know. Did Barry Bonds win a World Series?
Speaker 11 (40:49):
No?
Speaker 5 (40:50):
I don't think so. I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
And then he goes on to talk about every other
sport and how people that didn't win rings are talked
about exactly guys that don't win.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
Ringba't sit here and tell me that he's the greatest
baseball every.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Betts has got a better podcast than this, and That
is hard to say because that podcast is bad. I
don't know. I don't know if Mookie lobs out a
totally out of place and awkward f bomb every three
to four minutes like Gabron Lames And that's so cool
for Jabron Lames.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
I love it. From this day forward, he shall be
forever known as Gabron Lames.
Speaker 5 (41:29):
Lames.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
What about the hot new actor smat mif.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
Smat myth and Tim and Kim Taint You guys met.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
Tim Godway came in right at the break and he's like,
big dog. Why did Matt say, what's act? Big dog?
Speaker 5 (41:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (41:45):
I'm an actor, ding doll, Pete. Can we get receipts
from Matt's weekend to prove he didn't make an impromptu
trip to the Midwest because my sister's dog ate an
edible and had to go to an emergency vat.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
I was a victim my dog, Willow. Willow the dog
was a victim of somebody tossing an edible. She did
not get into my edibles, it was it was tossed
over the gate when she was enjoying herself in the
sun and the patio.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
Well, whatever you say about what happens is not the
alb all of what actually happened. Okay, you're not like
the head historian. You're not the class historian with the
all and be all? Okay, the a b all?
Speaker 5 (42:23):
Why is the all be.
Speaker 3 (42:24):
All a all and b all? Petros, my eleven year
old loves when you guys make fun of Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
He's having a good time or she is having a
good time right now.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
He has begged me to tell you there are hundreds
of roadblocks games mocking him. I told him I had
to wait for Lebron news before sending. And there's like
all these weird games that make fun of Lebron James
for the young people.
Speaker 2 (42:47):
So it's not just us that's wonderful. They'd like to
make fun of Jabron Lambs well, and that's our target
on the young people on the roadblock roadblocks?
Speaker 3 (42:54):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 5 (42:56):
And why is the all be all?
Speaker 3 (42:57):
I heard that's a alb all for the young.
Speaker 5 (43:01):
Ay, all be all?
Speaker 2 (43:03):
I don't think so, oh, Jabron Lames, I don't think so.
We need to convince Lebron the appropriate way to say
it is a all be all and see y'all.
Speaker 5 (43:24):
I don't know why I was discussed so much in
our sport.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
Shut up.
Speaker 5 (43:30):
And why is the all be all?
Speaker 2 (43:32):
Oh God know why it's always discussed in our sport.
