When sunset like a crimson throat to Hell is cavernous
ho the you Petros.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
And Money another super flex Today We're off at three
first pitch from the gallpin Ford Broadcast Center just after
four pm. World Series MVP and hero Yoshinoba Yamamoto will
be taking the ball and getting the start for the Dodgers,
who put a beauty on the Blue Jays yesterday heard
right here. Fourteen runs scored thirty four total basis seventeen hits.
(01:09):
Even though they won the World Series by the slimmest
of margins, game seven extra innings won run in this
particular opportunity to remind the Blue Jays of that nightmare.
They humiliated our northern neighbors. They absolutely humiliated them.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
And the Northern neighbors left their pitcher out there, and
then they put a position player out there. And then
much like after calling a time out after he took
a knee with Rick new Heizel and Pete Carroll and
then Pete Carroll threw it deep with Matt Barkley in
the USCUCLA game, Dave Roberts doubled down by putting Miguel
(01:49):
Rojas World Series Hero position player out there to pitch
Key Ky Hernandez not available with his special hat, and
that could have been extra humiliating for our northern neighbors.
David Vassy is on the scene with a Gangster Lane
at Rogers Center in Toronto, and we will have Yoshinobu
(02:10):
Yamamoto on air even though he's on the Mountain night,
he is the pregame guest. So with Mirono come on
with Urango Casino Dodgers on deck. What did we get?
We have Vassa and we have great sports talk that
you can podcast on the iHeartRadio app. And hopefully that's enough.
Speaker 4 (02:29):

Speaker 2 (02:38):
It's a tricky schedule. Tomorrow we're off before we're supposed
to be on tonight, and then tomorrow the show starts
late and ends early because of the Clipper game. And
then when the Dodgers get back in town Thursday Friday,
we'll have fuller shows that you are more apped to
(03:00):
enjoy in their normal time slots. But again, all are welcome,
and all is available on the iHeartRadio app for your smartphone. Matt,
did you watch the NCAA Championship last night?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I did.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I did watch it.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
I was a little afraid there for a minute that
Michigan was going to run away with the game, like
the final four was not all that entertaining, but alas,
actually that's probably not the proper word, but credit to
the Yukon Huskies, a scrappy bunch made in the mold
of Dan Hurley, able to keep that thing interesting throughout
(03:37):
the course of the whole contest, and I found it
wildly entertaining, although I also find that I don't like
Michigan winning. It's not a school that I take any
enjoyment out of them capturing national championships, and I don't
know why.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Well, they certainly have a haughty group of fan base.
Their athletic director was very controversial. The last coach they
had in a major sport that made big news other
than winning the title here with the men's team was
Sharon Moore.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Who didn't end well there.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I had an issue with the assistant and broke into
her house and held a butter knife to his neck
and threatened harm to her and himself, which is now
my bar for firing a coach, especially Mick Cronin, who
is what comes in. I don't know if I would
find it wildly entertaining, like I was like the animal
playing the drums, all wild, watching the game like Johnny
(04:37):
be Good in that movie, the Anthony Michael Hall movie,
was playing the drums, watching John l Way highlights and
getting all inspired to play quarterback as the number one
recruit in the country and the best quarterback of her state,
right yea, Indiana. I mean, I don't know. I had
it on in the background. I was happy to see
the panel was down from twenty people like to five
(04:59):
on the UH the Studio Show, which without Greg Gumbel
and with a lot of the gimmicky stuff that CBS
and TNT and TBS and true TV did was very negative.
I didn't think about any of that. All I thought
about was evil a Dai Mara and his evil face
(05:21):
goatee and his now refined game because he was developed
and sharpened by Mick Cronin and then Bill Plash, our friend,
who does find Corey close to be a very attractive woman,
very attractive and and and attractive, who wouldn't be attracted
(05:44):
to power and the power of UCLA women's hoops, the
Lady Bruins, But I did not. I mean literally, this
is the story of the transfer portal in college basketball.
And yeah, UCLA basketball is a blue blood with all
those titles, and it is the school of John Wooden,
(06:07):
but they got out bid for a Dayemarra. It has
nothing to do with Mick Cronan being a bad guy.
Mick Cronin, Daimarra was a guy who couldn't even breathe
going up and down the court. I mean, Mick Cronan
very slowly developed him. And this is what happens in
college football and basketball and high revenue sports and even
(06:30):
some that aren't. You get developed somewhere by a good
coach and then you get paid by the highest of
the high and Michigan has that kind of a payroll,
and you go and it's not any knock on evil
a Daimarra just doing his thing. But I don't think
it's Mick Cronin's fault that the guy took a lot
more money and was able to go to Michigan because
(06:53):
they offered him. And now all of a sudden, because
he's a junior or whatever, he can run up and
down the court and breathe and actually be more physical
and not get knocked over every time somebody puts a
hip into him. I mean, he's been brought along slowly.
It's not like he was that guy when he walked
on campus at UCLA. He was developed at UCLA.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yeah. I think the one thing that the folks are
picking on Mick over with Mara is I think it
was the Wisconsin game right when he had that big breakout.
He was kind of forced to play him right, and
Mara just lit it up because he couldn't breathe, and
it led to everyone saying like, Hey, why why haven't
we had this guy in there more often? And so
(07:36):
I think that sort of planting the seeds of that conversation.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Nick made the point on the show over and over
about how you develop these people and then they end
up somewhere else, And yeah, I mean when you're a
junior and you finally get out there, I mean, and
you've been developing, you're not the same player. People grow
exponentially in college and your game changes as it goes on.
(08:01):
And I think it's myopic and near sighted. Four of
the five best players on the Michigan team are transfers
and in their first year there, and that's that's what
they did, and that's what pays off. But I don't
see why Mick Cronin has to catch strays because he
gets outbid for a big man that he finally developed
into a player. And whether somebody's playing or not or why,
(08:23):
coaches know why, and there's always a reason for that.
And I'm pretty sure Mick is fair about that, fair
and balance. And I didn't appreciate the tone of Bill
Plashki's article. Crona did not break into anybody's house and
hold a butter knefe to anybody's neck. And you better
think about that next time you hire a head coach
(08:43):
football coach Michigan. No, that's not time, that's not Kyle Whittingham.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I don't think the Champagne Gazette or the Urbana Tribune
or whatever the paper may be down there is writing
a skating article about Brad Underwood for lou Seen maretz
Johnson to the Wolverines and how they could have won
the championship had he been able to keep that guy there.
You said it looked they had a pile of cash.
(09:09):
They won the football championship two years prior. It's a
school that prints money as a massive alumni base that
I'm sure much easier to stroke a twenty million dollar
check somebody from the Michigan Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
I mean, the reality of it is they might be
at a different level as far as college basketball history
and the blue Bloods and everybody can argue for years
about the Fab five and why did they show up
every time Michigan basketball is doing well, even though they
didn't even win.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
A championship, they show up to take a bunch of
bows every time Michigan basketball.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
It is odd like had they won, I understand. I mean, look,
we lived it, We're old enough to have remembered what
an impact it had. I mean, everybody in the nation
was pulling for the Fab five in that in that
NCAA tournament, because they were incredibly compelling, but they didn't win,
and they were plagued by controversy, and Chris Webber reportedly,
you know, took a sack full of cash and led
(10:05):
the massive sanctions in vacating of victories.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
And every time start taking a bunch of ba.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
It's like Michael kid Gilchrist and Anthony Davis and Marcustigue
and that sensational freshman bunch for Calipari doesn't show up
at every Kentucky freaking tournament game when they start playing well,
it is odd that somehow that still holds. Whatever it
is now thirty years later, that these guys still are
over that thirty five years later, that the guys still
(10:32):
get to show up and have like an alt broadcast.
Two of them never made a dent.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
It's the culture, Matt.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Yeah, yeah, the big shorts, the big shorts that took
over inexplicably, and they just kept getting longer and longer
until finally it's like, okay, you're wearing kilts now, this
has got to stop.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
At some point, I thought it was a wrong thing
to take to swipe at Mick Cronin. Yeah, I watched
a Dye mar A play and they, I mean, Michigan
can't even leave him in there for that long because
he's so pretty spoofy. He's awesome, but it stops to
take him out. And of course he's special, but he
was developed and cultivated and grown by our angry leprechawn
(11:15):
coach at UCLA, and he was taken away and stolen
by that Chardonnay fleshy crowd of ann Arbor. And it
is unfair for Bill Plaski to take shots. Uncool for
Bill Plaski to take those shots today, I'll say it.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
I'll say again, do it after the Arizona game if
you're gonna do it when he was the best player
on the floor, I mean, instead, it just kind of
reeks of all right, if you want a championship.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, he won a championship with a bunch of other transfers.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
To tie the championship in. But hey, hopefully Mick gets
the five million he's looking for. UCLA can be to
stroke a Chichigan, stroke a check and you know, do it,
Michigan did it just shows you out quickly. Now they
were really good last year, but again they went out
and got Cado, they got Mara, they got Moretz Johnson Junior.
(12:05):
And that's in Lendniborg, of course, the Big ten player
of the Year of the one partner.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
And I want to see you flex that big ten
basketball knowledge, Matt flexen exact, you put a forty five
pound plan over your boots and walk around on Farmers.
It is.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
It's all transfers. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Transfer portal opened last night at midnight. Already twelve hundred
kids in the lunter portal.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yes, twelve an hundred.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
This is just men's basketball, when well there's a lot
of teams in the men's you know, yeah, you know,
twelve hundred.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
And you know what I heard that there's a lot
of people would not still be in the portal, but
one of the entrances has been blocked by Audie Crooks.
Oh from i to Iowa States. She can't get her
through the portal. So there's a little bit of a
blockage there.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Well, that's unfortunate. Twelve hundred people at the portal. I
thought it was a cheap shot, Matt. I didn't like it,
and I didn't appreciate it, and I thought it was
weak I and you're wrong, Plash.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
I think we probably also could have seen it coming
that that there there was going to be something along
the lines of how'd you let this guy get away?
You're U c l A. And it's like, that's well.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Wasserman wasn't available for comment.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Yeah, I'll tell you why these like the what's a?
I think Cadeau was a North Carolina kid. It's like,
it doesn't matter if it's North Carolina, if it's U
c l A. Like, it's just it's just a meatball style.
It just doesn't matter. It's it's the biggest check that's
(13:45):
going to get these guys to go, and especially if
you can recruit them under the guys of yeah, it's
not just you, but I'm bringing in this guy and
this guy and you're all coming together and you know,
basketball is is is like that, Right, you get one
dude that can turn things around on the next thing,
you know, you're playing in a freaking title game.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Look at that way to go Michigan and way to
go all you Michigan types. That sure has to have
the sting taken out of Sharon Moore embarrassing the program
the way he did.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Yes, Tim, there's no exact number, but if you look
it up and search. Reportedly, Michigan basketball spent north of
ten million dollars last offseason to bring in those four tracks.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
That's why Nick needs another five by Yeah, he's got five,
now he needs five more. You know, I got to
get to uh, what did they say? Indiana football spent
forty million? Like football's forty million, basketball's ten million. So
someone's got to stroke a check. Who's going to stroke it?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
If you stroke a check for twenty million and think
that you're done, you're not. You got to stroke that
check over and over and over and go to stroke
it again. You got to continue to stroke that check.
It's almost like CPR, like keeping somebody alive.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Wait a second, back, I saw a big to do.
Was it over the weekend?
Speaker 5 (15:02):
About a UCLA donor donating ten million dollars?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah, and he even got his picture taken with Martin
Jarman with a wonderful photo.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Big deal, that's ten million dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
You're saying they thanked him. They greased him up, Unlike
Troy Aikman when he paid for all Dante More stuff
and didn't get any love at all. They greased him
up and and and slathered him and lathered him and
showed him all kinds of love. Ten million dollars. Guess
what about ten months from now, at around twelve to
(15:35):
fifteen pm, his phone's gonna ring. Martin Jarmon's gonna take
him out to lunch at the Polo Lounge and ask
him to stroke another check for ten times, and stroke
a check. That's step up and stroke a check because
you got a stroke a check every single year. And
then you might say, in your mind, well that was
for the defensive side of the ball. Yeah, yeah, and
(15:58):
now we need special teams. And three is this guy
step back? And you might say in your mind, you
might say, I don't, I I don't. I don't see
how this is sustainable, and you'd be right, what do
you need another million dollars for?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Sir? Have you ever heard of the Tokyo toe?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
He's twenty eight, he's your jampaniment. He learned to kick
on YouTube. He has never missed a field goal. He
feels no pressure because he doesn't know what's going on.
I need a million bucks for the Tokyo toe, the
Korean toe, it's the best. Did he just call him
the Korean toe? Yes, yes he did.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Odo Oh do.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
You know Corey Close is uh is single, very likable
and talks about how she wants a husband and she's
looking for a man. Well, I mean no, I mean
I think I believe Bill's taking as well, but like
many of us, a lot of people that are. But
I do think that winning this title and getting out there,
(17:08):
getting her face out there, I think that it's going
to get Corey Close a man, and I think she deserves.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
She's going to catch that fish, all right, she threw
that bait in the water. She's going to reel that.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah. She made like a post on Valentine's Day saying
it's like single Awareness Day and God hasn't brought her
a husband yet. And it was like, hey, Corey, you
get that championship and you start browsing those apps instead
of coaching those girls in that positive, great way that
you do, and things are going to change for you.
Bill Plashki was way ahead of this by talking about
(17:42):
how attractive you are. And I wish her luck way
ahead in her endeavors. Much like John Lithgow wished the
kids at the high school good luck for their senior dance,
we wish them luck in their endeavors.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
And I wish Audie Crook's luck in the portal.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
She's got to get they're gonna push her through. It's
like you know the beginning of of Willy Wonka where
the fat kid goop grooped or whatever. Yeah, he gets
caught in the pipe and the pipe. That's what's happening
with Audie Crooks. That's terrible in the in the portal, Well, Matt,
you know, like they said, it's a brave new world
(18:20):
and we are. We're learning as we go along.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
She's the hell of a player, Audie. Yeah, I love her.
I know you're the one know what exposed her to me.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
When I look at Lebron all swollen and spry, even
though Lebron's forty one and he's but I look at
them all swollen spry, I says, stop Perry cherry picking.
Lebron go up and down the court every time. That's
a requirement of the NBA. And when Audie Crooks doesn't
do it, you say, well, okay, I mean she looks
like a planet out there. You know, you understand that
she can't roll back and forth every part.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Of her superpower though you know, you throw that weight around,
you can bonk and Bok. I would like to know
those young kids are getting thrown all over the court.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I'd like to see her up against the Diemara and
it'd be on the sideline with the oxygen. Take and
see which one needs it more. And it's not sure, yes, Kate.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Corrections and retractions on me. Latest update on the transfer
portal that open now fifteen hours ago. Over twenty nine
hundred players. Wow, they are in the men's basketball transfer portal.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
You were way off. You were way off with your
poop mouth.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Oh and breaking news.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Guys, That of course is a joke. I just got
to it's a satire tweet.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Sorry, So now you've got to hit the corrections and retract.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Wait what happened?
Speaker 5 (19:40):
How about it's over twelve hundred, it's not twenty nine hundred.
It's somebody put that out even Really, that's not even
gonna step too far, didn't you, Jim? Yeah, it's not
like it's not believable, right, I mean yeah, it feels
like it's officially gonna get there.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
So like if it said twenty two thousand, then okay,
there's your hots.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Like when a Zee's a Pacific tweeted out that they
were going to schedule USC and football. I totally believed it.
They're not exactly right. There is breaking news, guys. Lebron
James is out tonight. Okay, he's the thunder with left.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
He's not gonna play against the thunder who beat the
team by sixty the other night.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
No, he's not going to feel the lightning or the thunder.
I wonder I want the Lakers announce this tonight is
the start of three games and four nights for the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Who could have seen that coming that Lebron wants to
sit this one out?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
They have. The Lakers have a Golden State after tonight,
and then they're on the road Thursday versus Golden State
and Phoenix on Friday, and then they closed with the Jazz.
We mentioned.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I could see them loosing out except against the tanking Jazz.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Well, le Bron, he's gonna take it up and down
the court. Now, Matt, this is gonna be great.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
You know, listen, do I want to watch the Laker
game at seven point thirty tonight? But if you tell
me that Cason Wallace is going to put his face
in Bronnie's chest every time he tries to bring it
up the court, for thirty five or so minutes. Now
(21:14):
we might be talking about a little bit of entertainment.
Right now, we could be entertained.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Here is that game at at Crypto? Yeah, oh yeah,
I might be tuning in. We'll be back with a
top story of the day. We'll have a flip top
story of the day after that word number song, David
Vasse Dead and Alive, Guy Berth the other day, and
good night Irene. It's only a two hour show today
because the Dodgers are in Canada. We hope you're enjoying
(21:41):
it though, and it's podcastable on the iHeartRadio app. Stay tuned.
More great sports talk to come. This is Petro send.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Money on to Man Demand.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Everybody, welcome back. It's Pettersen Money on AM five seven
e LA Sports Dodgers Blue Jays. Pregame starts at three.
Yoshi Yamamoto will be on Tim Kits will take you
till four o'clock. The first bridge I think it's at
four oh seven, seven oh seven at Rogers Center and
(22:20):
we will be on until then and tomorrow the show
will start late and then things will settle down after
the Dodger road trip. We help you monitor things on
the iHeartRadio. It is now time for the top story
of the day. I'm sorry of it.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
We do this from time to time and there are
I don't know, I guess, different reasons for it, but
I often side because it truly is one of the
more memorable moments to come out of an interview that
we've done. And maybe it's because the interview was so enjoyable.
But we had Joe Madden on for a while. He
(22:59):
was with us for like, I don't know, almost twenty minutes.
We talked to him. He was great a few times. Yeah,
And when we talked about working with Andrew Friedman in
Tampa and making a run of the World Series and
challenging the Yankees and the Red Sox with their massive
payrolls to win the Al East year in and year out,
(23:19):
he shared the I don't know, just something that's always
stuck with me, and he said, look for everything that
Andrew Friedman is being celebrated for doing with the Dodgers
and all of the success as President of Baseball Operations
and the people he's hired, he is a scout and
he is one of the best scouts I believe, he
said he.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Remember that, I remember that being said in the past, he.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Said he's the best scout I've ever been around. Nobody
recognizes talent like Andrew Friedman, and I think last night
is a stark reminder that that's the secret sauce. That
the checkbook is obviously imperative. The market is a huge bonus,
(24:03):
or not even a bonus. It is a huge selling point,
even with our exorbitant taxes in California, to be able
to live in Los Angeles, to play at Dodgers Stadium,
one of the iconic venues and all of sport is
a great selling point. But the true secret sauce to
the Dodgers and their success is the scouting. And they
don't get to be the Dodgers, a team that's ruined
(24:26):
baseball because of their checkbook. Miguel Rojas was not some
disgruntled superstar refusing to play in Miami because they couldn't
meet his contract demands. He was someone that they had
been after for a while and had tried to acquire
in trades and years prior they didn't get put together.
David Vasse would come on with us repeatedly at trade
deadlines and say they've got their res on mygal Ross
(24:48):
and they couldn't get him out of Miami until his
contract expired, and they did. And it's not like they
went out and picked up a three hundred hitter or
a thirty homer guy. He was a good glove, a
reliable multiple infield position, utility player, solid when called upon.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
To pinch hit.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Hey, club leader, a club exactly baseball acumen, a professional
baseball player. And since he's been with.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Patience with Tim Conway seventeen minute interview.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
On kfive, after you were told you'd be released for
doing an hour with us, get pulled into that and
what happens when they get guests. Hey, we want to
bring this guy back.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Keep him.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
He is hit two thirty six, two eighty three, two
sixty two this season. He's two sixty three. All Star,
no superstar, no, but he is exactly what the Dodgers
expected him to be when they signed him. A solid
option if you're in a bind because of injury, a
good player if a guy needs a day off, and
(25:56):
of course, a reminder in Toronto last night, if you
were listening on our broadcast or watching the Sports and
LA broadcast, someone who hit one of the most iconic
home runs not just in Dodgers, but considering the stakes
in world series history, and that's what they expected, and
(26:16):
that's why he was called upon by Dave Roberts to
get into that batter's box. In that moment, Will climb,
our dear friend, Will Climb.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Oh, he was out there last night with his beard.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
He was not a first round pick. As a matter
of fact, he was taken in the final round of
the COVID draft of twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
And everybody in that draft was sick as hell. Oh,
you had to take a flyer on a guy who
was on an oxygen tank.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Whooping cough combined with COVID. After not showing the Royals enough,
they moved him to the A's who traded Will Klein.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
For Space.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
That's right, Will Kline was traded for international bonus pool Space.
Not a player, not a prospect, Space, And after a
miserable twenty two appearances with a seven to one seven
ERA for the Triple A Tacoma Mariner's affiliate, he was
(27:19):
designated for assignment. Traded for Space seven point one seven
ERA designated the Dodgers swoop in appreciate that we'll take
Will Client off your hands. We have a feeling he's
going to get along swimmingly with the Petros and Money show,
and that's enough for us to ink this guy. Despite
(27:40):
his five to one six ERA in.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
The Dollar for every time Stan Casting called and we
talked about, you know, personality fits with the show for relievers.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Right pile of cash, they know, they know if it
passes the PMS test, this guy's playoff material. And in
the minors he had a five to one six ERA.
For the Dodgers, did they do what Seattle did after
twenty two appearances and say no, not gonna happen, move them,
designate him for assignment. Did they trade him for bonus
(28:10):
pool space like the A's did. No, they called him
up to the big league club because they liked his stuff.
Numbers be damned, Let's make some tweaks and next thing
you know, we'll Climb throws fifteen innings over fourteen appearances,
and that was good enough with his two three five
ERA to get the tab to replace Alex Ofssia on
(28:31):
the World Series roster, where, of course, will Climb became
a true hero in Game three with the Bully cashed
and they needed every one of those four scoreless that
got him the win when Freddie Freeman hit the walk
off at the.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Bottom of the eighteen Bulls cashed.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
The guy had never pitched more than two innings in
any game since being drafted into the major leagues, not
at any level of the miners, and he gave four
in a World Series Game three at Dodger Stadium. They
breed confidence. The Dodgers fix things that might be broken.
(29:11):
If they think you got something, some quality that they
can maximize and tap into, they will hone in. They
will find it. It is incredible traded for bonus spool,
bonus pool space, and now he is a keycog and
the Dodger bullpen of guy that can do updowns no problem,
multiple innings, no matter what the heck he does in
(29:31):
his career moving forward. He is etched into Dodger history forever.
And his fans like to say, or DV will say
when he comes on from time to time. I believe
he said it about Miguel Rojas.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Will Clyde should never and.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
I don't know if he likes to them buy it
or not. I assume he does never have to buy
a bear when he bellies up to the barn.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
And for the rest of you said he could do updowns.
I thought you met like burpies and I don't know, Yeah,
but I think you were referring to like win he
pitches in the game. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
You know we're so seam headed here man.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah, well I'm not, but I know you like to
use some of those turns to show your scenes. Yeah,
we're going to hold your hair apart and put your
head down and show your seams. Hey, we do expect
asking that guy to do an updown. You don't think
it's that.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
After yesterday's two innings of scoreless he in the midst
of those two innings scoreless and Hey song Kim combined
on what and now, Joe Adele's incredible contest, no doubt
will go down as the fielding moment of the season,
notwithstanding what could go down.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
That's the guy for the Angels that's not particularly known
as a great fielder who saved three home runs in
one game and compelled Mike Trout to tweet about it.
Unbelievable moment, Joe Adele skyfall, indeed setting fire.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
To the rain and keeping the doors on the lodge
open for another week. With that type of performance, we
all are day to day in real life and to
lodge my feel it more than some others. But he
and Kim combined Cline pitching, Kim fielding on what could
end up being the best fielding play we'll see from
(31:19):
the Dodgers all season. Little flair shallow left cinner going
back is Kim and.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
He's got it a magical graph from Hessung Kim.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I don't know how he got to the baseball.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Can we get that again?
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Kate's little flair shallow left center going back is Kim
and he's got it a magical graph from Hessung Kim.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I don't know how he got to the baseball.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Now I play it for two reasons. One to acknowledge
my failure because repeatedly, when you look down and you
see hye I routinely and you've witnessed it, and I
know it's got to be annoying.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Is it higher? Is it hey? Higher?
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Hey? Because I know it's probably not high, because that's
how it looks and it's not how it's pronounced.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
It probably sounds different when you're speaking Korean, you know.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
And when I heard that highlight, I found my way
to the internet, and I found my way to an interview.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
No way you felt you went into a pronunciation rabbit hole.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Matt I did because I was like, is this another
one of the Steven Nelson you know Hatani sort of
things that you know, if we want to be proper
and pay the respects to the player and pronounces pronounce
his name properly Otani, is this another one of those?
Or And sure enough kim Is is out there at
(32:52):
Camelback first day, meets the press. One of the beat
riders says, you know, can you share with us so
we know moving forward how to properly pronounce your name
and give it to me again? Their cakes, give me
that highlight.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Lital flair, shallow lef cinner. Going back is Kim and.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
He's got it a magical graph from Hessong Kim.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
I don't know how he got to the baseball. It
is not high song. It is not hey song. It
is rhymes with meh or rhymes with be hes song. Oh,
as you heard from Stephen Nelson, there properly pronounced hess song.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I don't want to do that.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Do it with me pee hes song. I'm that song. No,
I'm gonna have to listen to you do it hes song.
Because Stephen Nelson Stephen Nelson stoked my curiosity with that
pronunciation yesterday. I was like, wait a minute, what did
he just do there? Hes Song, Kim, I'm not gonna
do it. No, I'm probably not either, And I would
(33:59):
assume you're gonna have to hear me ask them.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Hey, is it? Hire?
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Is it? Hey?
Speaker 2 (34:02):
What is it again? I keep it forgetting? Is that like, hey,
hes Song? Yeah? I think you can get away with Hey.
You could just say hey, hey, my my rock and
roll will never die, you know, works for me?
Speaker 5 (34:17):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Hey? And then he what does he do? He hits
a ball right on the screws and it finds the
center fielder, but a nice hard hit ball pops out
or flies out and is second at bat, and it's like,
oh man, this guy might be gripping man asked to
lay down a sacrifice bunt can't do that? Coaxes a
(34:37):
walk on that. And then then bang bang Paris singles
combined with a signature fielding moment of the early season.
And that comes for a guy that was so embarrassed
despite having a strong spring, that he felt it was
imperative for him to pen an apology letter to his
home nation of South Korea. And the Dodger fan for
(35:01):
having let them down by not making the opening day roster.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
He's very humble, but I also think it has something
to do with he's just glad to not be in
the Korean Army right now, what doing his mandatory service
where they undoubtedly would pronounce his name correctly.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Hessong Thank you, Steven Nelson, Hessong ha Song Kim.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
It would not have come up had I not been
listening in the moment. So they as I was watching
the UH, as I was watching the National Championship, I
had the iHeartRadio app open, and I was listening to
the Dodger game because I was so pulling for Hassan
Kim uh to do a little something out there. So
(35:48):
thank you. Tipping a cap to you, Steven Nelson.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
How about guy in the Dodger clubhouse, Like if a
dude gets at taxed and like he goes hey and
like looks at the text, he sag. Kim's head turns like,
oh yeah, well you're talking to me.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
Talking to me he song Kid, Thank you Steven Nelson,
And I don't think we need him both Kates, pick
your favorite. Because Dalton Rushing went four for four with
the parent dogers.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Oh, rushing Golf's another one out of here. Talk to
right field number two of the game for Dalton Rushing. Oh,
he is feeling it at the plate right now.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Yeah, he was what was for Dodger fans, And tonight
will be an even bigger night for the.
Speaker 5 (36:35):
Yo yo yo ya Yo yah yo yo yo yo yo.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Yo yours because Yoshinobu Yamamoto is gonna be on a mound.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
Very exciting world Series hero. Three appearances, two starts, and
he was the hero at the end of game seven.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
And he's gonna be on our air.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
You know what they like the safety He had to
get up and brew a couple times before he got
into that game.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Yes, I know they say that God help.

Steven Nelson and Rick Monday on the call. David Masse,
Jim Kates, Colin Ye, Dwayne McDonald, what a team.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
We will return with a story that only a radio
man could love. Southern California's most listened to sports talk show.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
This is on demand tro Some Money, A five seven
e l A Sports Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio A
Big One Tonight, Yoshi Yamamoto on the mound the World
Series MVP back in Toronto where he broke Canadian hearts
in Game seven, first pitch, just after four, David Vessey
will chat with Yamamoto and Dodgers on deck and that
(38:11):
we'll begin at three.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
And right now, Matt, we will have a flip top
story and I'll flip you out. I will put you out.
Speaker 4 (38:21):
This is the flip top story of the day.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
In Raleigh, North Carolina. A radio This is a radio story,
purely pure Pooto Bayball radio story. A radio program director
who looks so much like a radio program director.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
And in my mind's eye, I've got an overweight dude
with a goatee and a satin jacket and a polo
and a bacon, just a stretched out bacon bacon collar.
But yes, Matt, it's central casting. Only radio people could
point out another radio program director like you're finding a rhinoceros,
(39:07):
Like it's the easiest thing.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
In the world. Many of them are the size of rhinos.
But it is just sad and obvious. But all the
way down to the bacon neck polo. This guy and
his name DP McIntire. Oh yeah, that's his birth name,
dp McIntyre. Dp McIntyre, who runs the media nonprofit that
(39:32):
happens to be auctioning off the famous letters of w
k RP Cincinnati. Oh as dp McIntyre, he told the AP,
(39:56):
I cannot tell you when by contract, I cannot tell
you who, but WKRP, after forty eight years, is coming
to Cincinnati. Oh, look at this book. It it's done.
The call sign, of course, is from the CBS sitcom
(40:17):
from seventy eight to eighty two, Lonie Anderson, The Turkey Drop.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
Oh Les Nessman, Venus fly Trap.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
DJ McIntyre watched the first episode as a young man
of WKRP in seventy eight. That inspired him to a
life of mediocrity in the radio. So twelve years ago
he acquired the call sign from the Federal Communications Commission
(40:49):
and snatched up the WKRP call letters. Look at that
they were in Dallas, they were in Georgia, they were
in alib Lexandria.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
I think Louisiana, not doubtass that's interesting because that's usually k.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
These are low power man low power wattage. But somebody
in Dallas was using it, and one in Tennessee, and
he moved them to Raleigh, North Carolina, where he transmits
uh super seventies, ballance and power eighties. There you go
from his garage. I got you. But now he has
(41:31):
auctioned those letters off and w k RP will emerge
soon as a radio station in beautiful Cincinnati, Ohio, where
Matt and I did enjoy some modest national radio success.
(41:53):
We've also enjoyed two varying varying levels, calling college and
NFL football games on TV and radio respectively in the city,
No doubt about it. I was very charmed by the city. Matt,
on the other hand, not as much, although I did
see the tenement nature and the blight that you were
(42:15):
discussing from near the train station. When asked about what
it's going to be, JP McIntyre gave this quote, it
will be radio. That's all I can tell you at
this time, which is also our station's promotion for the
(42:39):
Rogan and Rodney Show.
Speaker 4 (42:40):
Incidentally, let me tell you how to come. Let me
tell you.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
So, if you're one of our listeners, stragglers or strugglers
or straight salami smugglers from our Cincinnati day, you might
want to keep your head on a swivel for w
Karp in Cincinnati to actually finally hit the air, which
(43:13):
is a very exciting prospect. I think for sitcom fans everywhere,
this is more of a Tim Conway junior style, I
guess story, but I think that we can also take
ownership given our history in Cincinnati as well.
Speaker 4 (43:29):
Absolutely, Tim Conway ever on the air in Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
I don't believe so. I don't either, possibly, but I
don't think so. We were and I know that he's
never been to the Nip for sure, No to call
a game at Knippert Stadium, nor does he have a
relationship with Cincinnati favorite son Mick Cronan and Die Mara.
Is McK cronan's success not as failure? Bill Plash, I
(43:57):
could even breathe, darling, if you ever wonder down to
town up and down with dials. I'm dedicated to a
live of mediocrity from the radio FORREV.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
How many of those folks are still alive?
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Less nessman? Yeah, Howard wasn't he wasn't he the guy
from Head of the Class too? Yes, wasn't that? His
job was head of the Class. And Lonnie of course
had the big breakup with Bert.
Speaker 4 (44:37):
Right with burt Reydolds while she was doing it. I
can't remember what her name was because there was Johnny Fever.
That was Howard Hessman that played him. There was less nessman,
I can't mention.
Speaker 5 (44:50):
Flack chap Yeah, Bailey Quarters, Bailey Quarters. There was Steve Gregory,
Jennifer Marlow, Jennifer Marlow.
Speaker 4 (45:00):
Right, that was Lonnie. Yeah, Jenny Marlow was Lonnie oh
w KRP and who can forget Bill Carroll?
Speaker 5 (45:11):
Canada Dry, We'll be back phone with the family of
oh stop.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Oh man, no what I'm in the.
Speaker 4 (45:25):
Room right now, in the room right now, Sto really
taken to this story, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (45:34):
Canada Dry take an ownership. We are your Cincinnati show
of Record Skyline Chili.
Speaker 4 (45:46):
And it's not even close, not even close.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
You're in our Venus fly trap now, will be right
back with your word number Song of the Day.
On air at am five seventy LA Sports and I'm
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
This is the Petros and Money Show. You are one
of the kind, hosted by Petros, Papaday Guests left school
after sixth grade and the voice of the Bolts Matt
money Smith. The answer is on money.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
There is nothing you can do. You know it's coming.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
This is the Petros and Money Show.
Speaker 5 (00:25):
On the home of your world champion Los Angeles Dodgers.
Make us your top preset on the iHeartRadio app Buenos Diaz.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
When sunset like a crimson throat to Hell is cavernous
ho the you Petros.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
And Money another super flex Today We're off at three
first pitch from the gallpin Ford Broadcast Center just after
four pm. World Series MVP and hero Yoshinoba Yamamoto will
be taking the ball and getting the start for the Dodgers,
who put a beauty on the Blue Jays yesterday heard
right here. Fourteen runs scored thirty four total basis seventeen hits.
(01:09):
Even though they won the World Series by the slimmest
of margins, game seven extra innings won run in this
particular opportunity to remind the Blue Jays of that nightmare.
They humiliated our northern neighbors. They absolutely humiliated them.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
And the Northern neighbors left their pitcher out there, and
then they put a position player out there. And then
much like after calling a time out after he took
a knee with Rick new Heizel and Pete Carroll and
then Pete Carroll threw it deep with Matt Barkley in
the USCUCLA game, Dave Roberts doubled down by putting Miguel
(01:49):
Rojas World Series Hero position player out there to pitch
Key Ky Hernandez not available with his special hat, and
that could have been extra humiliating for our northern neighbors.
David Vassy is on the scene with a Gangster Lane
at Rogers Center in Toronto, and we will have Yoshinobu
(02:10):
Yamamoto on air even though he's on the Mountain night,
he is the pregame guest. So with Mirono come on
with Urango Casino Dodgers on deck. What did we get?
We have Vassa and we have great sports talk that
you can podcast on the iHeartRadio app. And hopefully that's enough.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Hopeful music at noon, Hopeful music at noon and.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
It's a tricky schedule. Tomorrow we're off before we're supposed
to be on tonight, and then tomorrow the show starts
late and ends early because of the Clipper game. And
then when the Dodgers get back in town Thursday Friday,
we'll have fuller shows that you are more apped to
(03:00):
enjoy in their normal time slots. But again, all are welcome,
and all is available on the iHeartRadio app for your smartphone. Matt,
did you watch the NCAA Championship last night?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I did.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I did watch it.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
I was a little afraid there for a minute that
Michigan was going to run away with the game, like
the final four was not all that entertaining, but alas,
actually that's probably not the proper word, but credit to
the Yukon Huskies, a scrappy bunch made in the mold
of Dan Hurley, able to keep that thing interesting throughout
(03:37):
the course of the whole contest, and I found it
wildly entertaining, although I also find that I don't like
Michigan winning. It's not a school that I take any
enjoyment out of them capturing national championships, and I don't
know why.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Well, they certainly have a haughty group of fan base.
Their athletic director was very controversial. The last coach they
had in a major sport that made big news other
than winning the title here with the men's team was
Sharon Moore.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Who didn't end well there.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I had an issue with the assistant and broke into
her house and held a butter knife to his neck
and threatened harm to her and himself, which is now
my bar for firing a coach, especially Mick Cronin, who
is what comes in. I don't know if I would
find it wildly entertaining, like I was like the animal
playing the drums, all wild, watching the game like Johnny
(04:37):
be Good in that movie, the Anthony Michael Hall movie,
was playing the drums, watching John l Way highlights and
getting all inspired to play quarterback as the number one
recruit in the country and the best quarterback of her state,
right yea, Indiana. I mean, I don't know. I had
it on in the background. I was happy to see
the panel was down from twenty people like to five
(04:59):
on the UH the Studio Show, which without Greg Gumbel
and with a lot of the gimmicky stuff that CBS
and TNT and TBS and true TV did was very negative.
I didn't think about any of that. All I thought
about was evil a Dai Mara and his evil face
(05:21):
goatee and his now refined game because he was developed
and sharpened by Mick Cronin and then Bill Plash, our friend,
who does find Corey close to be a very attractive woman,
very attractive and and and attractive, who wouldn't be attracted
(05:44):
to power and the power of UCLA women's hoops, the
Lady Bruins, But I did not. I mean literally, this
is the story of the transfer portal in college basketball.
And yeah, UCLA basketball is a blue blood with all
those titles, and it is the school of John Wooden,
(06:07):
but they got out bid for a Dayemarra. It has
nothing to do with Mick Cronan being a bad guy.
Mick Cronin, Daimarra was a guy who couldn't even breathe
going up and down the court. I mean, Mick Cronan
very slowly developed him. And this is what happens in
college football and basketball and high revenue sports and even
(06:30):
some that aren't. You get developed somewhere by a good
coach and then you get paid by the highest of
the high and Michigan has that kind of a payroll,
and you go and it's not any knock on evil
a Daimarra just doing his thing. But I don't think
it's Mick Cronin's fault that the guy took a lot
more money and was able to go to Michigan because
(06:53):
they offered him. And now all of a sudden, because
he's a junior or whatever, he can run up and
down the court and breathe and actually be more physical
and not get knocked over every time somebody puts a
hip into him. I mean, he's been brought along slowly.
It's not like he was that guy when he walked
on campus at UCLA. He was developed at UCLA.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yeah. I think the one thing that the folks are
picking on Mick over with Mara is I think it
was the Wisconsin game right when he had that big breakout.
He was kind of forced to play him right, and
Mara just lit it up because he couldn't breathe, and
it led to everyone saying like, Hey, why why haven't
we had this guy in there more often? And so
(07:36):
I think that sort of planting the seeds of that conversation.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Nick made the point on the show over and over
about how you develop these people and then they end
up somewhere else, And yeah, I mean when you're a
junior and you finally get out there, I mean, and
you've been developing, you're not the same player. People grow
exponentially in college and your game changes as it goes on.
(08:01):
And I think it's myopic and near sighted. Four of
the five best players on the Michigan team are transfers
and in their first year there, and that's that's what
they did, and that's what pays off. But I don't
see why Mick Cronin has to catch strays because he
gets outbid for a big man that he finally developed
into a player. And whether somebody's playing or not or why,
(08:23):
coaches know why, and there's always a reason for that.
And I'm pretty sure Mick is fair about that, fair
and balance. And I didn't appreciate the tone of Bill
Plashki's article. Crona did not break into anybody's house and
hold a butter knefe to anybody's neck. And you better
think about that next time you hire a head coach
(08:43):
football coach Michigan. No, that's not time, that's not Kyle Whittingham.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I don't think the Champagne Gazette or the Urbana Tribune
or whatever the paper may be down there is writing
a skating article about Brad Underwood for lou Seen maretz
Johnson to the Wolverines and how they could have won
the championship had he been able to keep that guy there.
You said it looked they had a pile of cash.
(09:09):
They won the football championship two years prior. It's a
school that prints money as a massive alumni base that
I'm sure much easier to stroke a twenty million dollar
check somebody from the Michigan Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
I mean, the reality of it is they might be
at a different level as far as college basketball history
and the blue Bloods and everybody can argue for years
about the Fab five and why did they show up
every time Michigan basketball is doing well, even though they
didn't even win.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
A championship, they show up to take a bunch of
bows every time Michigan basketball.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
It is odd like had they won, I understand. I mean, look,
we lived it, We're old enough to have remembered what
an impact it had. I mean, everybody in the nation
was pulling for the Fab five in that in that
NCAA tournament, because they were incredibly compelling, but they didn't win,
and they were plagued by controversy, and Chris Webber reportedly,
you know, took a sack full of cash and led
(10:05):
the massive sanctions in vacating of victories.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
And every time start taking a bunch of ba.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
It's like Michael kid Gilchrist and Anthony Davis and Marcustigue
and that sensational freshman bunch for Calipari doesn't show up
at every Kentucky freaking tournament game when they start playing well,
it is odd that somehow that still holds. Whatever it
is now thirty years later, that these guys still are
over that thirty five years later, that the guys still
(10:32):
get to show up and have like an alt broadcast.
Two of them never made a dent.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
It's the culture, Matt.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Yeah, yeah, the big shorts, the big shorts that took
over inexplicably, and they just kept getting longer and longer
until finally it's like, okay, you're wearing kilts now, this
has got to stop.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
At some point, I thought it was a wrong thing
to take to swipe at Mick Cronin. Yeah, I watched
a Dye mar A play and they, I mean, Michigan
can't even leave him in there for that long because
he's so pretty spoofy. He's awesome, but it stops to
take him out. And of course he's special, but he
was developed and cultivated and grown by our angry leprechawn
(11:15):
coach at UCLA, and he was taken away and stolen
by that Chardonnay fleshy crowd of ann Arbor. And it
is unfair for Bill Plaski to take shots. Uncool for
Bill Plaski to take those shots today, I'll say it.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
I'll say again, do it after the Arizona game if
you're gonna do it when he was the best player
on the floor, I mean, instead, it just kind of
reeks of all right, if you want a championship.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, he won a championship with a bunch of other transfers.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
To tie the championship in. But hey, hopefully Mick gets
the five million he's looking for. UCLA can be to
stroke a Chichigan, stroke a check and you know, do it,
Michigan did it just shows you out quickly. Now they
were really good last year, but again they went out
and got Cado, they got Mara, they got Moretz Johnson Junior.
(12:05):
And that's in Lendniborg, of course, the Big ten player
of the Year of the one partner.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
And I want to see you flex that big ten
basketball knowledge, Matt flexen exact, you put a forty five
pound plan over your boots and walk around on Farmers.
It is.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
It's all transfers. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Transfer portal opened last night at midnight. Already twelve hundred
kids in the lunter portal.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yes, twelve an hundred.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
This is just men's basketball, when well there's a lot
of teams in the men's you know, yeah, you know,
twelve hundred.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
And you know what I heard that there's a lot
of people would not still be in the portal, but
one of the entrances has been blocked by Audie Crooks.
Oh from i to Iowa States. She can't get her
through the portal. So there's a little bit of a
blockage there.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Well, that's unfortunate. Twelve hundred people at the portal. I
thought it was a cheap shot, Matt. I didn't like it,
and I didn't appreciate it, and I thought it was
weak I and you're wrong, Plash.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
I think we probably also could have seen it coming
that that there there was going to be something along
the lines of how'd you let this guy get away?
You're U c l A. And it's like, that's well.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Wasserman wasn't available for comment.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Yeah, I'll tell you why these like the what's a?
I think Cadeau was a North Carolina kid. It's like,
it doesn't matter if it's North Carolina, if it's U
c l A. Like, it's just it's just a meatball style.
It just doesn't matter. It's it's the biggest check that's
(13:45):
going to get these guys to go, and especially if
you can recruit them under the guys of yeah, it's
not just you, but I'm bringing in this guy and
this guy and you're all coming together and you know,
basketball is is is like that, Right, you get one
dude that can turn things around on the next thing,
you know, you're playing in a freaking title game.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Look at that way to go Michigan and way to
go all you Michigan types. That sure has to have
the sting taken out of Sharon Moore embarrassing the program
the way he did.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Yes, Tim, there's no exact number, but if you look
it up and search. Reportedly, Michigan basketball spent north of
ten million dollars last offseason to bring in those four tracks.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
That's why Nick needs another five by Yeah, he's got five,
now he needs five more. You know, I got to
get to uh, what did they say? Indiana football spent
forty million? Like football's forty million, basketball's ten million. So
someone's got to stroke a check. Who's going to stroke it?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
If you stroke a check for twenty million and think
that you're done, you're not. You got to stroke that
check over and over and over and go to stroke
it again. You got to continue to stroke that check.
It's almost like CPR, like keeping somebody alive.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Wait a second, back, I saw a big to do.
Was it over the weekend?
Speaker 5 (15:02):
About a UCLA donor donating ten million dollars?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah, and he even got his picture taken with Martin
Jarman with a wonderful photo.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Big deal, that's ten million dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
You're saying they thanked him. They greased him up, Unlike
Troy Aikman when he paid for all Dante More stuff
and didn't get any love at all. They greased him
up and and and slathered him and lathered him and
showed him all kinds of love. Ten million dollars. Guess
what about ten months from now, at around twelve to
(15:35):
fifteen pm, his phone's gonna ring. Martin Jarmon's gonna take
him out to lunch at the Polo Lounge and ask
him to stroke another check for ten times, and stroke
a check. That's step up and stroke a check because
you got a stroke a check every single year. And
then you might say, in your mind, well that was
for the defensive side of the ball. Yeah, yeah, and
(15:58):
now we need special teams. And three is this guy
step back? And you might say in your mind, you
might say, I don't, I I don't. I don't see
how this is sustainable, and you'd be right, what do
you need another million dollars for?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Sir? Have you ever heard of the Tokyo toe?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
He's twenty eight, he's your jampaniment. He learned to kick
on YouTube. He has never missed a field goal. He
feels no pressure because he doesn't know what's going on.
I need a million bucks for the Tokyo toe, the
Korean toe, it's the best. Did he just call him
the Korean toe? Yes, yes he did.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Odo Oh do.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
You know Corey Close is uh is single, very likable
and talks about how she wants a husband and she's
looking for a man. Well, I mean no, I mean
I think I believe Bill's taking as well, but like
many of us, a lot of people that are. But
I do think that winning this title and getting out there,
(17:08):
getting her face out there, I think that it's going
to get Corey Close a man, and I think she deserves.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
She's going to catch that fish, all right, she threw
that bait in the water. She's going to reel that.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah. She made like a post on Valentine's Day saying
it's like single Awareness Day and God hasn't brought her
a husband yet. And it was like, hey, Corey, you
get that championship and you start browsing those apps instead
of coaching those girls in that positive, great way that
you do, and things are going to change for you.
Bill Plashki was way ahead of this by talking about
(17:42):
how attractive you are. And I wish her luck way
ahead in her endeavors. Much like John Lithgow wished the
kids at the high school good luck for their senior dance,
we wish them luck in their endeavors.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
And I wish Audie Crook's luck in the portal.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
She's got to get they're gonna push her through. It's
like you know the beginning of of Willy Wonka where
the fat kid goop grooped or whatever. Yeah, he gets
caught in the pipe and the pipe. That's what's happening
with Audie Crooks. That's terrible in the in the portal, Well, Matt,
you know, like they said, it's a brave new world
(18:20):
and we are. We're learning as we go along.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
She's the hell of a player, Audie. Yeah, I love her.
I know you're the one know what exposed her to me.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
When I look at Lebron all swollen and spry, even
though Lebron's forty one and he's but I look at
them all swollen spry, I says, stop Perry cherry picking.
Lebron go up and down the court every time. That's
a requirement of the NBA. And when Audie Crooks doesn't
do it, you say, well, okay, I mean she looks
like a planet out there. You know, you understand that
she can't roll back and forth every part.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Of her superpower though you know, you throw that weight around,
you can bonk and Bok. I would like to know
those young kids are getting thrown all over the court.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I'd like to see her up against the Diemara and
it'd be on the sideline with the oxygen. Take and
see which one needs it more. And it's not sure, yes, Kate.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Corrections and retractions on me. Latest update on the transfer
portal that open now fifteen hours ago. Over twenty nine
hundred players. Wow, they are in the men's basketball transfer portal.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
You were way off. You were way off with your
poop mouth.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Oh and breaking news.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Guys, That of course is a joke. I just got
to it's a satire tweet.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Sorry, So now you've got to hit the corrections and retract.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Wait what happened?
Speaker 5 (19:40):
How about it's over twelve hundred, it's not twenty nine hundred.
It's somebody put that out even Really, that's not even
gonna step too far, didn't you, Jim? Yeah, it's not
like it's not believable, right, I mean yeah, it feels
like it's officially gonna get there.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
So like if it said twenty two thousand, then okay,
there's your hots.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Like when a Zee's a Pacific tweeted out that they
were going to schedule USC and football. I totally believed it.
They're not exactly right. There is breaking news, guys. Lebron
James is out tonight. Okay, he's the thunder with left.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
He's not gonna play against the thunder who beat the
team by sixty the other night.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
No, he's not going to feel the lightning or the thunder.
I wonder I want the Lakers announce this tonight is
the start of three games and four nights for the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Who could have seen that coming that Lebron wants to
sit this one out?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
They have. The Lakers have a Golden State after tonight,
and then they're on the road Thursday versus Golden State
and Phoenix on Friday, and then they closed with the Jazz.
We mentioned.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I could see them loosing out except against the tanking Jazz.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Well, le Bron, he's gonna take it up and down
the court. Now, Matt, this is gonna be great.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
You know, listen, do I want to watch the Laker
game at seven point thirty tonight? But if you tell
me that Cason Wallace is going to put his face
in Bronnie's chest every time he tries to bring it
up the court, for thirty five or so minutes. Now
(21:14):
we might be talking about a little bit of entertainment.
Right now, we could be entertained.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Here is that game at at Crypto? Yeah, oh yeah,
I might be tuning in. We'll be back with a
top story of the day. We'll have a flip top
story of the day after that word number song, David
Vasse Dead and Alive, Guy Berth the other day, and
good night Irene. It's only a two hour show today
because the Dodgers are in Canada. We hope you're enjoying
(21:41):
it though, and it's podcastable on the iHeartRadio app. Stay tuned.
More great sports talk to come. This is Petro send.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Money on to Man Demand.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Everybody, welcome back. It's Pettersen Money on AM five seven
e LA Sports Dodgers Blue Jays. Pregame starts at three.
Yoshi Yamamoto will be on Tim Kits will take you
till four o'clock. The first bridge I think it's at
four oh seven, seven oh seven at Rogers Center and
(22:20):
we will be on until then and tomorrow the show
will start late and then things will settle down after
the Dodger road trip. We help you monitor things on
the iHeartRadio. It is now time for the top story
of the day. I'm sorry of it.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
We do this from time to time and there are
I don't know, I guess, different reasons for it, but
I often side because it truly is one of the
more memorable moments to come out of an interview that
we've done. And maybe it's because the interview was so enjoyable.
But we had Joe Madden on for a while. He
(22:59):
was with us for like, I don't know, almost twenty minutes.
We talked to him. He was great a few times. Yeah,
And when we talked about working with Andrew Friedman in
Tampa and making a run of the World Series and
challenging the Yankees and the Red Sox with their massive
payrolls to win the Al East year in and year out,
(23:19):
he shared the I don't know, just something that's always
stuck with me, and he said, look for everything that
Andrew Friedman is being celebrated for doing with the Dodgers
and all of the success as President of Baseball Operations
and the people he's hired, he is a scout and
he is one of the best scouts I believe, he
said he.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Remember that, I remember that being said in the past, he.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Said he's the best scout I've ever been around. Nobody
recognizes talent like Andrew Friedman, and I think last night
is a stark reminder that that's the secret sauce. That
the checkbook is obviously imperative. The market is a huge bonus,
(24:03):
or not even a bonus. It is a huge selling point,
even with our exorbitant taxes in California, to be able
to live in Los Angeles, to play at Dodgers Stadium,
one of the iconic venues and all of sport is
a great selling point. But the true secret sauce to
the Dodgers and their success is the scouting. And they
don't get to be the Dodgers, a team that's ruined
(24:26):
baseball because of their checkbook. Miguel Rojas was not some
disgruntled superstar refusing to play in Miami because they couldn't
meet his contract demands. He was someone that they had
been after for a while and had tried to acquire
in trades and years prior they didn't get put together.
David Vasse would come on with us repeatedly at trade
deadlines and say they've got their res on mygal Ross
(24:48):
and they couldn't get him out of Miami until his
contract expired, and they did. And it's not like they
went out and picked up a three hundred hitter or
a thirty homer guy. He was a good glove, a
reliable multiple infield position, utility player, solid when called upon.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
To pinch hit.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Hey, club leader, a club exactly baseball acumen, a professional
baseball player. And since he's been with.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Patience with Tim Conway seventeen minute interview.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
On kfive, after you were told you'd be released for
doing an hour with us, get pulled into that and
what happens when they get guests. Hey, we want to
bring this guy back.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Keep him.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
He is hit two thirty six, two eighty three, two
sixty two this season. He's two sixty three. All Star,
no superstar, no, but he is exactly what the Dodgers
expected him to be when they signed him. A solid
option if you're in a bind because of injury, a
good player if a guy needs a day off, and
(25:56):
of course, a reminder in Toronto last night, if you
were listening on our broadcast or watching the Sports and
LA broadcast, someone who hit one of the most iconic
home runs not just in Dodgers, but considering the stakes
in world series history, and that's what they expected, and
(26:16):
that's why he was called upon by Dave Roberts to
get into that batter's box. In that moment, Will climb,
our dear friend, Will Climb.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Oh, he was out there last night with his beard.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
He was not a first round pick. As a matter
of fact, he was taken in the final round of
the COVID draft of twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
And everybody in that draft was sick as hell. Oh,
you had to take a flyer on a guy who
was on an oxygen tank.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Whooping cough combined with COVID. After not showing the Royals enough,
they moved him to the A's who traded Will Klein.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
For Space.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
That's right, Will Kline was traded for international bonus pool Space.
Not a player, not a prospect, Space, And after a
miserable twenty two appearances with a seven to one seven
ERA for the Triple A Tacoma Mariner's affiliate, he was
(27:19):
designated for assignment. Traded for Space seven point one seven
ERA designated the Dodgers swoop in appreciate that we'll take
Will Client off your hands. We have a feeling he's
going to get along swimmingly with the Petros and Money show,
and that's enough for us to ink this guy. Despite
(27:40):
his five to one six ERA in.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
The Dollar for every time Stan Casting called and we
talked about, you know, personality fits with the show for relievers.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Right pile of cash, they know, they know if it
passes the PMS test, this guy's playoff material. And in
the minors he had a five to one six ERA.
For the Dodgers, did they do what Seattle did after
twenty two appearances and say no, not gonna happen, move them,
designate him for assignment. Did they trade him for bonus
(28:10):
pool space like the A's did. No, they called him
up to the big league club because they liked his stuff.
Numbers be damned, Let's make some tweaks and next thing
you know, we'll Climb throws fifteen innings over fourteen appearances,
and that was good enough with his two three five
ERA to get the tab to replace Alex Ofssia on
(28:31):
the World Series roster, where, of course, will Climb became
a true hero in Game three with the Bully cashed
and they needed every one of those four scoreless that
got him the win when Freddie Freeman hit the walk
off at the.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Bottom of the eighteen Bulls cashed.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
The guy had never pitched more than two innings in
any game since being drafted into the major leagues, not
at any level of the miners, and he gave four
in a World Series Game three at Dodger Stadium. They
breed confidence. The Dodgers fix things that might be broken.
(29:11):
If they think you got something, some quality that they
can maximize and tap into, they will hone in. They
will find it. It is incredible traded for bonus spool,
bonus pool space, and now he is a keycog and
the Dodger bullpen of guy that can do updowns no problem,
multiple innings, no matter what the heck he does in
(29:31):
his career moving forward. He is etched into Dodger history forever.
And his fans like to say, or DV will say
when he comes on from time to time. I believe
he said it about Miguel Rojas.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Will Clyde should never and.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
I don't know if he likes to them buy it
or not. I assume he does never have to buy
a bear when he bellies up to the barn.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
And for the rest of you said he could do updowns.
I thought you met like burpies and I don't know, Yeah,
but I think you were referring to like win he
pitches in the game. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
You know we're so seam headed here man.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah, well I'm not, but I know you like to
use some of those turns to show your scenes. Yeah,
we're going to hold your hair apart and put your
head down and show your seams. Hey, we do expect
asking that guy to do an updown. You don't think
it's that.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
After yesterday's two innings of scoreless he in the midst
of those two innings scoreless and Hey song Kim combined
on what and now, Joe Adele's incredible contest, no doubt
will go down as the fielding moment of the season,
notwithstanding what could go down.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
That's the guy for the Angels that's not particularly known
as a great fielder who saved three home runs in
one game and compelled Mike Trout to tweet about it.
Unbelievable moment, Joe Adele skyfall, indeed setting fire.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
To the rain and keeping the doors on the lodge
open for another week. With that type of performance, we
all are day to day in real life and to
lodge my feel it more than some others. But he
and Kim combined Cline pitching, Kim fielding on what could
end up being the best fielding play we'll see from
(31:19):
the Dodgers all season. Little flair shallow left cinner going
back is Kim and.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
He's got it a magical graph from Hessung Kim.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I don't know how he got to the baseball.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Can we get that again?
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Kate's little flair shallow left center going back is Kim
and he's got it a magical graph from Hessung Kim.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I don't know how he got to the baseball.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Now I play it for two reasons. One to acknowledge
my failure because repeatedly, when you look down and you
see hye I routinely and you've witnessed it, and I
know it's got to be annoying.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Is it higher? Is it hey? Higher?
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Hey? Because I know it's probably not high, because that's
how it looks and it's not how it's pronounced.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
It probably sounds different when you're speaking Korean, you know.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
And when I heard that highlight, I found my way
to the internet, and I found my way to an interview.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
No way you felt you went into a pronunciation rabbit hole.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Matt I did because I was like, is this another
one of the Steven Nelson you know Hatani sort of
things that you know, if we want to be proper
and pay the respects to the player and pronounces pronounce
his name properly Otani, is this another one of those?
Or And sure enough kim Is is out there at
(32:52):
Camelback first day, meets the press. One of the beat
riders says, you know, can you share with us so
we know moving forward how to properly pronounce your name
and give it to me again? Their cakes, give me
that highlight.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Lital flair, shallow lef cinner. Going back is Kim and.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
He's got it a magical graph from Hessong Kim.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
I don't know how he got to the baseball. It
is not high song. It is not hey song. It
is rhymes with meh or rhymes with be hes song. Oh,
as you heard from Stephen Nelson, there properly pronounced hess song.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I don't want to do that.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Do it with me pee hes song. I'm that song. No,
I'm gonna have to listen to you do it hes song.
Because Stephen Nelson Stephen Nelson stoked my curiosity with that
pronunciation yesterday. I was like, wait a minute, what did
he just do there? Hes Song, Kim, I'm not gonna
do it. No, I'm probably not either, And I would
(33:59):
assume you're gonna have to hear me ask them.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Hey, is it? Hire?
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Is it? Hey?
Speaker 2 (34:02):
What is it again? I keep it forgetting? Is that like, hey,
hes Song? Yeah? I think you can get away with Hey.
You could just say hey, hey, my my rock and
roll will never die, you know, works for me?
Speaker 5 (34:17):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Hey? And then he what does he do? He hits
a ball right on the screws and it finds the
center fielder, but a nice hard hit ball pops out
or flies out and is second at bat, and it's like,
oh man, this guy might be gripping man asked to
lay down a sacrifice bunt can't do that? Coaxes a
(34:37):
walk on that. And then then bang bang Paris singles
combined with a signature fielding moment of the early season.
And that comes for a guy that was so embarrassed
despite having a strong spring, that he felt it was
imperative for him to pen an apology letter to his
home nation of South Korea. And the Dodger fan for
(35:01):
having let them down by not making the opening day roster.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
He's very humble, but I also think it has something
to do with he's just glad to not be in
the Korean Army right now, what doing his mandatory service
where they undoubtedly would pronounce his name correctly.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Hessong Thank you, Steven Nelson, Hessong ha Song Kim.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
It would not have come up had I not been
listening in the moment. So they as I was watching
the UH, as I was watching the National Championship, I
had the iHeartRadio app open, and I was listening to
the Dodger game because I was so pulling for Hassan
Kim uh to do a little something out there. So

will chat with Yamamoto and Dodgers on deck and that
(38:11):
we'll begin at three.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
And right now, Matt, we will have a flip top
story and I'll flip you out. I will put you out.
Speaker 4 (38:21):
This is the flip top story of the day.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
In Raleigh, North Carolina. A radio This is a radio story,
purely pure Pooto Bayball radio story. A radio program director
who looks so much like a radio program director.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
And in my mind's eye, I've got an overweight dude
with a goatee and a satin jacket and a polo
and a bacon, just a stretched out bacon bacon collar.
But yes, Matt, it's central casting. Only radio people could
point out another radio program director like you're finding a rhinoceros,
(39:07):
Like it's the easiest thing.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
In the world. Many of them are the size of rhinos.
But it is just sad and obvious. But all the
way down to the bacon neck polo. This guy and
his name DP McIntire. Oh yeah, that's his birth name,
dp McIntyre. Dp McIntyre, who runs the media nonprofit that
(39:32):
happens to be auctioning off the famous letters of w
k RP Cincinnati. Oh as dp McIntyre, he told the AP,
(39:56):
I cannot tell you when by contract, I cannot tell
you who, but WKRP, after forty eight years, is coming
to Cincinnati. Oh, look at this book. It it's done.
The call sign, of course, is from the CBS sitcom
(40:17):
from seventy eight to eighty two, Lonie Anderson, The Turkey Drop.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
Oh Les Nessman, Venus fly Trap.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
DJ McIntyre watched the first episode as a young man
of WKRP in seventy eight. That inspired him to a
life of mediocrity in the radio. So twelve years ago
he acquired the call sign from the Federal Communications Commission
(40:49):
and snatched up the WKRP call letters. Look at that
they were in Dallas, they were in Georgia, they were
in alib Lexandria.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
I think Louisiana, not doubtass that's interesting because that's usually k.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
These are low power man low power wattage. But somebody
in Dallas was using it, and one in Tennessee, and
he moved them to Raleigh, North Carolina, where he transmits
uh super seventies, ballance and power eighties. There you go
from his garage. I got you. But now he has
(41:31):
auctioned those letters off and w k RP will emerge
soon as a radio station in beautiful Cincinnati, Ohio, where
Matt and I did enjoy some modest national radio success.
(41:53):
We've also enjoyed two varying varying levels, calling college and
NFL football games on TV and radio respectively in the city,
No doubt about it. I was very charmed by the city. Matt,
on the other hand, not as much, although I did
see the tenement nature and the blight that you were
(42:15):
discussing from near the train station. When asked about what
it's going to be, JP McIntyre gave this quote, it
will be radio. That's all I can tell you at
this time, which is also our station's promotion for the
(42:39):
Rogan and Rodney Show.
Speaker 4 (42:40):
Incidentally, let me tell you how to come. Let me
tell you.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
So, if you're one of our listeners, stragglers or strugglers
or straight salami smugglers from our Cincinnati day, you might
want to keep your head on a swivel for w
Karp in Cincinnati to actually finally hit the air, which
(43:13):
is a very exciting prospect. I think for sitcom fans everywhere,
this is more of a Tim Conway junior style, I
guess story, but I think that we can also take
ownership given our history in Cincinnati as well.
Speaker 4 (43:29):
Absolutely, Tim Conway ever on the air in Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
I don't believe so. I don't either, possibly, but I
don't think so. We were and I know that he's
never been to the Nip for sure, No to call
a game at Knippert Stadium, nor does he have a
relationship with Cincinnati favorite son Mick Cronan and Die Mara.
Is McK cronan's success not as failure? Bill Plash, I
(43:57):
could even breathe, darling, if you ever wonder down to
town up and down with dials. I'm dedicated to a
live of mediocrity from the radio FORREV.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
How many of those folks are still alive?
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Less nessman? Yeah, Howard wasn't he wasn't he the guy
from Head of the Class too? Yes, wasn't that? His
job was head of the Class. And Lonnie of course
had the big breakup with Bert.
Speaker 4 (44:37):
Right with burt Reydolds while she was doing it. I
can't remember what her name was because there was Johnny Fever.
That was Howard Hessman that played him. There was less nessman,
I can't mention.
Speaker 5 (44:50):
Flack chap Yeah, Bailey Quarters, Bailey Quarters. There was Steve Gregory,
Jennifer Marlow, Jennifer Marlow.
Speaker 4 (45:00):
Right, that was Lonnie. Yeah, Jenny Marlow was Lonnie oh
w KRP and who can forget Bill Carroll?
Speaker 5 (45:11):
Canada Dry, We'll be back phone with the family of
oh stop.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Oh man, no what I'm in the.
Speaker 4 (45:25):
Room right now, in the room right now, Sto really
taken to this story, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (45:34):
Canada Dry take an ownership. We are your Cincinnati show
of Record Skyline Chili.
Speaker 4 (45:46):
And it's not even close, not even close.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
You're in our Venus fly trap now, will be right
back with your word number Song of the Day.

Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
