(03:03):
you know the smallest US state Rhode Island? Because we
were talking about populations and who populates that ap voters list, Peah,
how many people? The smallest state, Rhode Island has a
larger population one point one million persons than the largest
US state, Alaska seven hundred and forty thousand people.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Well that that tracks, you know, because we know our
friend Gomer is from Rhode Island, right, you know a
real towny, a real towny. We know about that Narragansett beer.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
What kind of beer is that? Narrick anst is that
is that a Rhode Island beer?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Yeah? Yeah, Arson beerst beer. So so we did, Yeah,
Rhode Island, big topic. All right, it is time for
quick ans, comms, quickits. I'll make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
The Dwyers are back on top. He won in sixty four.
They look to win their fourth in a row to
night as they host the Rockies Blake Smell on the Mound.
Dodgers two games up in the NL West was seventeen
to play Lawyers. They might not, They might not have
to play on that wild.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Card, right, They're gonna have to play in the wild card.
But after Suarez did his best Tanner Scott impersonation last night,
allowing the Reds to win the game against the Padres
in the ninth a little bit of breathing room here.
But remember they still have ten left against the Rockies
and the White Sox, So the Dodgers gonna have to
(04:33):
figure out a way to slow down their arch rival
Giants with that series beginning on Friday. And more importantly,
they got to make sure they win this final game
against the Rockies because from here on out, competition gets
a little bit more stiff.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Tyler glass Now, a favorite here in the world of
great sports Talk right out of Hartkin Great Sports Talk
formerly known as the Indians. He left the game on
Monday night with a no hitter after seven innings. We
discussed it on the air. I got some text like.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Did you see his pitch count?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
It's one hundred and five. Jack Morris threw two hundred
and thirty pitches in Game seven of the World Series.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Well, he went on one of those podcasts today, so the
one with our friend A. J.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Prazinski's I guess it's okay.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
But today glass Now was asked about leaving a no
hitter and how he felt about it.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I had like fifty pitches in the first two innings,
so I kind of figured just after seven, with one
hundred and seven pitches, I figured they weren't gonna let
me keep going. I would have loved to, but I
just think, like with playoffs coming up, and I guess,
like my last few years of like injuries, I completely
understand obviously, to anytime you're in the game and like
someone asked you if you want to stay, and you're
always gonna say yes, It's kind of I'll always be like, yeah,
(05:43):
just let me keep going, but I respect the decision
to take me out. It's fine.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
What did he did he even give you the option
or when you came off the mount was Doc?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Like?
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Was Doc like, hey, good job, you're done.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:55):
More of that one, which I kind of expected him
to a little bit.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
I didn't really have like option to go back out
or anything. If I did, I would have tried to
argue my case. But it is what it is. A
decision was made.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
I just you know what that sounds like? Me, what's wrong?
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Jazz. It's just the first thing that came to my
head was Jazz, Ow, what's the matter? You're up next?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Jazz?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I have got a really bad tramp.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I've been having really bad cramps all week.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
It was probably menstruall.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Screw you, Melon, screw you Melon.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I just and they're even trying to give him the out,
like they're trying Tyler listen to wait. The way they're
framing this question, well, I'm guessing like as soon as
you were walking down that dugout steps, Doc is like,
don't even think about it, and he's like, yeah, no,
you know, I just knew that. You know that that's
probably what it was, so I didn't even bother, you know,
saying I want to go back out there, because I
figured they would be like, hey, your history.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
No.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Instead, they're like, but I can just imagine who else
is in there with him, Kate's it's he and von
Sooyek and all them do who else is standing on
that railing with Bob Dyer, Bob Garren And they're like,
you're up next, Chaz. I'm sure they're like, hey, you
think there's a chance in hell? This guy asks if
he can stay in this is zero, I'm going less
(07:11):
than zero. He walks up and well, I assume you
guys are gonna probably tell me I can't go back
out there, So I'm just gonna go sit on the
bench here and pop some double bubble and uh, you
don't have to say anything to me.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
What did he did he even give you the option?
Or when you came off the mount? Was Doc like?
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Was Doc like, hey, good job, you're done?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
More that one?
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Which I kind of expected him to a little bit. Yeah,
I didn't really have that option to go back out
and I didn't.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I would have if I did, I would Yeah, more
that one? Well is it more that one? Or He
was like, Hey, your body breaks down. You're not going
back out?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Chaz?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Good job You're done.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
More that one, Yeah, more that one.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Yeah, more that one.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Chargers are one to know. They travel to Las Vegas
take on the Rail on Monday Night. The Raiders are
also one to know. Tim Kates will be riding his
Stooter studio scooter over to the Raiders studio to do that.
He'll be zipping by on olive.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Who knew Kates was gonna snake one of them scooters
from UCLA. Yeah, his his mode of transportation of choice.
I heard somebody hollow it away and be like, hey, is
that guy stealing that guy's scooter? Hey, the guy's stealing
a scoop. But that is your own personal scooter. You
do not do the bird thing. Instead, you purchased your own.
I stole my daughter's one. Yes, that's exactly right.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Nothing but a thief.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Ohh Chargers are three and a half point road favorite.
Uh us, he's two and oh. They start the Big
Ten play on Saturday at Purdue. They're twenty and a
half point favorites. In West Lafayette, Ucla host New Mexico
Whoo on Friday Night at the Rose Bowls. They are
a fifteen and a half point favorite over the Lobitos.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Ucla and New Mexico have met only once before. That
was interim coach ed Kazarian Lee Ucla to a twenty
seven thirteen victory over Rocky longs Lobos in O two
Las Vegas Bowl Christmas Day, when Katie Naida, the female kicker,
kicked it straight into the ass of the UCLA Center.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Guy's got to sit on a donut to this day.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
It's terrible good.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
He can't work.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
People don't remember, you know, the sacrifice of that guy
hit in his But Adam Silver, not Sparatu, spoke today
to the Born of Governors. They had to close all
the blinds because this sun was wow exactly. He was
asked about the Kawhi Leonard Steve Baumer inspiration allegations.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Here he is, and our investigators look at the totality
of the evidence. So I think whether mere appearance, like
just by the way those words read, I think, as
a matter of fundamental fairness, I would be reluctant to
act if there was sort of a mere appearance of impropriety.
I think the goal of a full investigation that there
(10:03):
really was impropriety, because also in a public facing sport,
again the public conclusions that later to turn out to
be completely false. And so I do would want anybody
else in situation mister Bomber is in now or Kawhi
Leonard for that matter, to be treated the same way
(10:23):
I would want to be treated if people were making
allegations against me. So the answer is, it's we're not
a court of law at the end of the day,
either that we have broad authority to look at all
information and to weigh it accordingly. My powers are very broad,
a full range of financial penalties, draft picks, suspensions, et cetera.
(10:45):
I have very broad powers in these situations.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
The answer is he is really rich. Guys like really
really rich.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I have an allegation against you Silver, You're a.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Vampire whoa public ah that this circumstantial bloo.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
There's a new.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Change for the twenty twenty five to twenty six season.
In the NBA end of period, heaves that are unsuccessful
will now be. They didn't do this before.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Well, no, because players wouldn't take them, because players are
selfish and they didn't want it to count against their
field goal percentage, so they wouldn't take the half court
heave and have it count as a misshot on their
box score. But now the NBA is going to say
those heaves will go as a missed shot for the team.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
These guys are the biggest, right say it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Get ready to beat it, Ronnie, They're the biggest. Exactly,
they're It's like, you're not going to take a heave
that could give your team three points because it's likely
a low percentage shot and will miss.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
That's like the guy that makes a sack, the guy
that takes a sack because he doesn't want to throw
it away because it hurts his path. Rob Johnson, Hey
got him paid twenty four mis Matt, we have more gambling.
It's popping off at the no Oh.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
The no Fresno State men's basketball player manipulated his performance
for gambling purposes, conspired with two other players to place
bets on his stats. It's an NCAA investigation and it's MIKEL. Robinson,
San Jose State guard Steven Vazquez and then Fresno State
guard Jalen Weaver. They are permanent ineligible because of gambling violations.
(12:32):
They are not enrolled at their schools. Robinson and Vasquez
were roommates at Fresno State for the twenty three twenty
four season. They alleged that they conspired to wager on
Robinson to underperform. During a January seventh, twenty twenty five
game between Fresno State and Colorado State. Three prop bets
totaling twenty two hundred dollars were placed on the under
(12:52):
on Robinson's stats. The bets flagged by a Nevada sportsbook
operator one fifteen thousand and nine, one hundred fifty dollars,
the book saying quote during the game, Robinson altered his
performance with three points, scored, two rebounds, one three pointer
and no assists to ensure the underline. That's one yeah,
(13:14):
these underprops is what are getting all these guys. They're
too stupid to recognize that you put serious money on
a Fresno State Colorado State prop underplayer that's gonna net
fifteen K for a twenty two hundred dollars investment, probably
probably the only bet that large on that game. And
a parlay, no less a parlay. A parlay you make
(13:37):
me sick. You thought you were going to hit that?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
All right, we'll be back with Adrian Gonzalez, some exciting
news about watch parties and Dodger analysis.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Nothing year, just a three four way parlay on a
Fresno State Colorado State game on Thursday night for twenty
two hundred bucks.

p they are going for the sweep, and they are

continue their riding of this ship after five consecutive losses.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
And joining us right now, Matt somebody that knows about
the ups and downs of life in the Major League
and being excellent fifteen years in the Big Leagues five
plus seasons and the Dodgers. Five time All Star, four
time Gold Glove Award winner, three time Silver slugg We
know him and we love him. We like his style.
(15:04):
He's got a Dodger watch party coming up. We're going
to talk about that. Oh joining us right now from
Spectrum Sports and at LA and many other endeavors. The
one and Only Adrian Gonzalez on the Petrosen Money Show
at an East Lake High I believe.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
In the Chula Vista area. What's cracking, Adrian?
Speaker 6 (15:25):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Brother?
Speaker 6 (15:27):
I'm doing great. I'm doing great. How are you guys
doing great?
Speaker 4 (15:30):
We're doing pretty well a little better than we were
during that road trip. I mean, you're a pretty measured guy, Adrian.
You can't be a hitter like you were unless you
have kind of an even keel latitude, you know, like
Eric Carros does. But do you get a little weird
when the Dodgers lose that many in the road Did
you start to think this team was looking complacent? I mean,
(15:50):
did you get freaked out?
Speaker 6 (15:52):
You know, I don't know about complacency being the right word,
you know, I just I really think that from what
I was watching, I really felt like they lost the
focus on just team at bats, quality at bats. I
felt like the pitching was doing great. Obviously we saw
some bullpen meltdowns, but I felt that even in those
(16:13):
games that the bullpen, you know, gave up those runs,
the offense could have provided more runs earlier on in
the game, so it would be a bigger cushion. So
I really felt like the entire road trip was more
on the offense than it was on anybody else. They
weren't facing great pitching to begin with. You know, the
lineup that we have is a lineup that we should
(16:34):
we be putting up five, six, seven runs a game,
And I just felt like the at bats weren't really
like team at bats. They weren't you know, when you
had the runners in scoring position, the at bats weren't
focused on driving the run in. They were still focused
on just trying to hit the home run, or swinging
too hard, or just a bad game plan altogether. So
(16:54):
for me, it was more about that focus on quality
team at bats, and I felt like these two home
games so far, they've had a little bit better job
doing that.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I feel like you're describing the last five years, Adrian,
It's been kind of a home run walk or strikeout mentality.
And you know, you look at the metrics and it
says in the playoffs, the team that hits the most
home runs wins. So how hard is it or are
we am I reading it wrong? How hard is it
to change that mentality in the batter's box when I
(17:26):
feel like this has been the last few years that
the Dodgers are just swinging for the fences and they're
okay with the strikeouts.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Yeah, you know, I feel like last year they won
the World Series because of the lights out bullpen they had.
You know, obviously there were some big home runs in there,
there were some big hits in there, but when you
look back at the playoffs, you really felt like the
bullpen was able to carry them through the playoffs and
win the World Series. And you know, those kind of
(17:53):
a bad the home runs in the postseason I feel
like come from just having a good at bad because
you're facing the best pitching out and you cannot depend
on that. If you have a lineup that is able
to run into these home runs, obviously you're gonna hit them.
But really it just comes down to those quality of bats.
In my opinion, you know, I think a guy that
(18:14):
does a great job, which is really good having him
back his Max Munty. Uh, he's a guy that he
is more of a home run walk, you know type
of guy. But his abats or quality team at that
you know, even though the results are you know, tend
to be a little more on the on the slug side.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
You know, I really feel that he's he's a guy
that that that really has those good quality team at
that you know, doesn't chase a ton uh and and
it's always having those long at bats and uh and
and when they're when there's running the scoring position. I
feel like he puts the ball in play more than
than than what the guys have shown.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
How how long Adrian Adrian Gonzalez with us. Uh, he
is going to have a Dodgers watch party. You can
visit air B and B. That's air B, the letter N,
the letter B to find out how you can attend
to Dodger's watch party with Adrian Gonzalez. Limited spaces are
available and there are multiple dates. We'll continue to give
you information on that through the conversation here. But you
(19:11):
mentioned Max Moncy. He comes back a couple of nights ago.
Tommy Edmond's gonna come back tonight?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
How long?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Like, how long do you think it takes? I mean,
we got seventeen games left? Is that enough time? Ti
Oscar seemed to get out of his funk last night
at least for one game. Like what do you think
it typically takes a hitter or I shouldn't say think,
you know, how long does it take a hitter to
kind of try to find that rhythm again?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
You know?
Speaker 6 (19:34):
That is I've always felt that when you set your
mind to I'm going to focus, I'm gonna bear down.
It could be one of that. It doesn't need to
be twenty at bats, it doesn't need to be fifty
at that, it doesn't need to be you know whatever.
It's when you trigger your mind to say, I'm going
to focus. You know, I've always used the example of
(19:54):
I've gone to playing winter ball, and I've gone from
my couch, literally from my couch to go play again
game and winter ball, and because my mindset it counts,
I automatically went in there and by the second that
batt I was ready to go.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
You know.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
So I've gone into spring training and because in your
mind and spring training, you're like, I'm working on things.
I'm just doing this, I'm going through the motions. You're
not mentally there, and then the season starts, you trigger
your mind and now all of a sudden, you're ready
to go. So it really just comes down to the focus,
the mental focus. I think physically the guys can can
turn it on. You know, they've seen enough pitches, they've
(20:29):
seen enough repetition, they know they're timing. I think they
can just step up there and be ready to go. So,
you know, that's the good thing about this team being
a veteran squad that when when it counts, when when
it matters, when the postseason starts, I feel like they're
going to be mentally into it and they're going to
be able to put together those greater bats.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
What a wonderful answer. I feel like I know how
to get mentally involved as a hitter now. Anyway, the
great Adrian Gazalez joining us right now, it's always wonderful
to talk to him. It's to see Clayton Kershawe out
there doing what he's doing at this age. I mean,
I know he's not that old, but he looks old.
And do you think he'll be involved in the postseason heavily.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
It's great. I love I love when I'm watching out
of curge. I havn't seen him at the peak of
his career, having played behind him at the peak of
his career when he was just Hey, I'm just gonna
throw throw you fast. If it was the right handed hitter,
I'm gonna throw you fast holes inside and sliders down
then and you know, try.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
To hit me.
Speaker 6 (21:27):
And now what he's doing and being more of a
finesse pitcher, being more of a you know, arm side,
you know, throw pitches away and even backdoor sliders and
using that curve ball a little bit more, especially earlier
in the count, and what he's been able to do.
He's shown that, you know, everybody's in love with velo
and spin rate and all those things nowadays, but he's
(21:48):
shown that a guy that can execute a pitch and
execute pitches consistently will still be super successful in the
big leagues because pitching is all about executing pitches and
uh and it's a great exam before the young guys
that are there with the Dodgers right now that it's
about execution. It's not about how hard you throw, It
is not how hi you spin it, or you know
what kind of vertical and horizontal you got on your pitches. Listen,
(22:11):
if you leave a pitcher over the plate, I don't
care who you are is going to get hit in
the big leagues. So it's about, you know, commanding your
pitches and knowing how to pitch and mixing pitches and
velocities and all that, and so it's great to see
what he's been able to do. I do think there's
a role for him in the playoffs, whether it's the
fourth starter or you know, where they decide to go
with him. Obviously, having him with the experience that he's got,
(22:33):
it'd be great to have in certain key situations.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
It may sound crazy, and maybe it's prisoner of the moment,
but you just said it, Adrian. Just the way that
he executes and the way he's grinding and the focus
on every single pitch. I don't know if I'd rather
have anybody else out there. I know it's not the
stuff that Blake Snell or Otani or Yamamoto have. I
totally recognize that, but I would assume you're a guy
that your teammates look to to lead them. Right, you've
(22:58):
led the league in hits and Ribby's and Walks and
sackflies five time All Star? Is that is that something?
Or are these just professionals and they don't need that
sort of additional motivation. I feel like you get juiced
when Kershaw's out there and that that could do something
more than just what he gives you by throwing the
ball in a playoff game. Or is that just the
(23:19):
fan ass kind of talking.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
No, I really do think there's something to that, And
I've been preaching this on pregame and post game for
the last month and a half. I really feel like
the best team for the playoffs, in my opinion, is
to have ya, I'm Amoto, Snell Glass Now, and Kershawll
be the four starters, and you make show Hey the
closer to me. That then makes the most sense. It
(23:44):
show he has close games and the WBC before he's
proven that he can do it, and so for me,
that would be the road I would go. Having Kershall
be the fourth starter. You know, he's a guy that
can easily go out there and give you five innings
and keep you in the game and his thing, and
then you bring in the bullpen behind him. So I
think that sets up the team for the most success.
(24:06):
We'll see what with Andrew in the front office, and
Dog decided to go with going into the playoffs. But
I would love to see Kersh held as as a
fourth starter in the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
You know where that fantass is for and when Matt,
you know what I do know the great Adrian Gonzalez,
our guest you just mentioned, Doc Dave Roberts gets the
blame for everything, even when the bullpen blows the game,
but he's very loyal. It seems he stands behind the guys.
What kind of guy is he to play for?
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Oh, he's great. I mean he was you know. I
got to play with him in two thousand and six
and we build a really really good relationship where, you know,
really really good friends still to the day and we
talk all the time. And he's the guy everybody wants
to play for, you know, he's he's a perfect manager
to have, especially for the team that they have, and
so I think everybody pulls for him. Everybody's happy to
(24:54):
play for him, and and that's the reason why the
guys play so hard out there.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Adrian tell us with us give you a little bit
more detail on the Airbnb dot com and how you
can go to the watch party last one for me, though, Adrian.
They lose five in a row, it looks like it's
going to be really hard unless they sweep the Phillies,
which they certainly can do to get one of those
top two seeds. How big of a deal is that
when the team was the number one team prior to
(25:20):
that collapse coming out of the All Star Break and
just right before it to the Brewers when they went
on their hot streak. Is the number one seed is
a buy into the division round? How big of an
advantage is that versus having to try to make this
thing come together as a wild card team.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
It's a big thing. I mean, you know, I've always
said that the way was structured a couple of years
ago with the whole week being a break that was
really tough on the teams that had to buy. I
think they've adjusted it where now the Wildcards three straight
games and so you only have four days now, which
is a lot more doable for the bye week. You
always always wanted to play one ness series because when
(25:58):
you're in the playoffs, anything can happen. I don't care.
It's baseball. This isn't like basketball, where the best team
usually wins. This is baseball where the team that plays
the best, the team that executes and you know it's hot,
can win. So having to play a wild card, especially
three games, a three game series, you know, one bad mistake,
you lose a game because of one mistake, and then
(26:19):
all of a sudden, you know, you have a pitcher
go out there and give up runts early and and
then you lose and you're out. So having that that
that bye week and or or that buy in the
in the playoffs is huge because there's one less series
you have to worry about, one less series you have
to you know win. So, Uh, it's really it's a
really big deal. And and the way it looks, the
teams that they might have to play are going to
(26:40):
be teams that are really tough.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
You know, you look at you look at the Mats,
who have a great team. Uh that's that's kind of
structured well for the playoffs. They have some great hitters,
they have some good starters, uh, and they could easily
win a three game series. You have you know, the
Giants who are playing well, or the Padres, or it
depends on who they line up with. Uh, it'll be
a tough series and winning two out of three, and
(27:03):
in that kind of scenario is nice. Never never something
you can just say, Oh, they're gonna win easy.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
The one and Only Adrian Gonzalez. He's got the Airbnb parties.
Tell us about these watch parties. You're doing them. Uh,
it's a little bit different than an Airbnb, but there's
food and drinks and it's gonna pop off.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
Now, these are some fun, uh you know, experiences that
we were able to put together with Airbnb. And uh,
you know, we're gonna have theresl Stress cater him our
new restaurant in West LA. So we're gonna have some
good Mexican food, We're gonna have cutt of that beer there.
We're gonna have just a good experience overall, and it'll
be fun to watch the Dodgers, especially as this penn
(27:41):
And race is coming down and these games are gonna
be very important, so it'll be a lot of fun
to watch and and just hang and have a good
time eating some good food, drinking you know, some of
some good beverages.
Speaker 2 (27:51):

Birthday of the day. As we get to Dodger Baseball,
It's snell Zilla Night.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Hello, Hello, PMS listener. Did you know AM five seventy
LA Sports has a wide range of LA sports podcasts.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
There's Rogan and Rodney. That one is my favorite, Dodger
Talk with David Vasse, the Dodger Podcast of Record, Clipper
Talk Without a Musk, follow us all and many more.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Just go to AM five to seventy LA Sports on
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Thank you for listening. Every The Petros and Money Show
on AM five seventy LA Sports mercifully coming to an end.
We'll be on tomorrow on a flex alert. All right, Matt,
you got to take em for the Voodoo queen Happy.
It would have been two hundred and twenty fourth to
Marie Catherine Leveaux. Born in the French Quarter, lived in
(29:20):
the French Quarter, died in the French Quarter, and all
those years a free woman of African, European and Native
American descent, practiced root work, conjure Louisiana Voodoo. Oh that's
some Santaia and Roman Catholicism. Oh well, you know, they
(29:41):
are a little bit mixed up down there in the South, Matt.
We gotta get down to a Beata Sprains sorted to
get down to a New Iberia.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Let me tell you, sir, she was free because at
the time of her birth, Louisiana was still administered by
Spanish colonial officials. Her mom, Marguerite, a free woman of color.
Her father Charles Trudeau, a white la a white Louisiana
Creole politician.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
It's a little more mixed up than you'd think. There
was a Native American Confederate general.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
It's Louisiana, man.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Here he goes.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
She grows up and marries Jacques Pari from Saint Domingue,
who showed up in New Orleans in the wake of
the Haitian Revolution. He works as a carp carpenter until
eighteen twenty two when he disappears. Then he figured he
died in eighteen twenty three in Baton Rouge. So Marie
hooks up with a French noble. Did he die on
the grounds nobody knows. Did he die on the grounds
(30:37):
of of commodore coach at lsu Brian Kelly. I do
believe the body has been exzoomed from his property when
they dug their.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Pool under the mangroves.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
She marries this dude, Christophe Dumeni de Gaupion, and they
have fifteen kids. Her cause celeb becomes pretty listener. On
death row, she would visit them, She would offer them
last rites, she would share their last meal, and then
she would pass along poison to them so they didn't
have to go to the gallows. Oh during the yellow
(31:11):
fever epidemic, she provided meals, prayers, herbal remedies for the sick,
doing everything free of charge. She was known as the
voodoo practitioner in town and the townshairdresser. She owned a
beauty parlor. She took care of the high society white
ladies and was sure to keep a journal of all
their gossips. She befriended their servants and slaves to get
(31:34):
more dirt on them, and then during her voodoo consultations,
the information made her see clairvoyant. People came to the
Voodoo queen for help with family disputes, their health, finances,
and more. Leveaux performed her services in three main places,
her own home on Saint Anne Street within Congo Square
and your favorite pe Lake Ponta Train.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
I love the lake.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
She was the third female leader of Voodoo in New Orleans,
took over for Marine Slape who usurped Samtis day day Now.
There was an attempt to challenge Marie in eighteen fifty,
but it failed because she was so incredibly popular as
the Voodoo queen. Her snake zombie mixed with Roman Catholic
saints mixed with African spirits and Native American spiritualism made
(32:20):
her star the town taurus to this day pee well
not to this day. Sadly, they would visit her grave
draw three X marks in accordance with decades old tradition
if they wanted to vote to grant them a wish
and if it if it fad.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
There there's a photo of me en Rice's house.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
They would have to yell out their wish and then
they would have to return circle their exes and leave
LeVaux and offering. And it got to the point that
they had to close if the Saint Louis Cemetery won
no longer public because of all the traffic that happened.
In March twenty fifteen, at the time of her death,
of New York Times, the New Orleans Daily pick A
Yun and the Daily States described her as quote a
woman of great intellect charisma who is also pious, charitable
(33:04):
and a skilled irvil healer.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
I'll tell you, Matt, the five Zho four is just
not the same since the pick became a online paper.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Right about that? You're absolutely right about that, and that
is why, that is why Ronnie has the masthead of
the Daily pick I at across his chest. Happy birthday, Marilla.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
That's a good point, old masthend right there.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I do believe Commodore Kelly could use her.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Well.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Actually, you know, ls, you looks okay right. I think
I think that our friend from yesterday has him at
number three. Speaking of Brian Kelly, this would be Irish news,
but which we don't have.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
As a thing yet.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
But today, Matt, we will celebrate Johnny Fingers. Not Jimmy Fingers,
who was an early victim of Steven Segall's applied justice
in the great movie about Jamaican crime maybe the best ever.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Marked for Dat. Not Johnny Chingins Johnny No.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Rodnie's favorite singer, Johnny c No Johnny Fingers aka John
Moylett sixty nine from Ireland, keyboardist, founding member of one
of the real new wave bands, the real New Wave.
(34:23):
The Boomtown Rats came from a family of artists, you know,
with Bob Geldoff Manna.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Of course you come on.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
His cousin was also in the band. He had a
piano teacher, Miss Grist as a child, who Jimmy Fingers,
excuse me, Johnny Fingers claims, stole his youth. The name
the boomtown Rats came from Woody Guthries' autobiography. Boomtown Rats
(34:53):
was the name of Woody Guthries' young street gang of toughs.
I did not know that Peter did. I six studio albums.
Johnny Fingers is on with the boomtown Rats after they
broke up in eighty six. Him and Simon Crow the
drummer founded Gung Ho.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
I love that movie.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Not the movie though, but the band was that Korean
guys in Gung Ho or Japanese?
Speaker 3 (35:19):
I think it was.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Oh, that's a good question. I'm guessing Japanese just because
it was the peak the tome Conda versus Ford in RCA.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Well, it's interesting because there is a Japanese connection. But
before we get to that, he did have to sue
and finally settled just six years ago to receive credit
after all these years for co writing.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
I don't like Mondays.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
That's the big one with Bob Geldoff.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
And when the band reunited in twenty thirteen and went
on tour again and made a couple albums, he did
not go with the rest. Maybe it was because of
the I don't like Monday's lawsuit. Maybe because he lives
in Tokyo.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Well, that'll do it.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
He now lives in Tokyo. I don't know if it
is anything to do with the name of the band
Gung Hole, but in Tokyo he works. He produces and
writes music for popular artists, He composes for anime features,
does themes. He also works in concert and promotion. Like
(36:25):
old Bobby Geldoff himself. He runs Smash Japan, which is
a promotions company, and he produces the biggest festival in
Japan every year, Fuji Rock Festival, which is like a vampire,
well vampire weekend. Hame Jack White. You know, big deal,
(36:48):
not a small festival.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
So there you go.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
Not Jimmy Fingers who says you can't touch me, sigol
on Jimmy Fingers and then Segal shoots him.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Johnny Fingers, sweet well, We hope you have a great night.

you know the smallest US state Rhode Island? Because we

how many people? The smallest state, Rhode Island has a
larger population one point one million persons than the largest
US state, Alaska seven hundred and forty thousand people.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Well that that tracks, you know, because we know our
friend Gomer is from Rhode Island, right, you know a
real towny, a real towny. We know about that Narragansett beer.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
What kind of beer is that? Narrick anst is that
is that a Rhode Island beer?

Rhode Island, big topic. All right, it is time for
quick ans, comms, quickits. I'll make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
The Dwyers are back on top. He won in sixty four.
They look to win their fourth in a row to
night as they host the Rockies Blake Smell on the Mound.
Dodgers two games up in the NL West was seventeen
to play Lawyers. They might not, They might not have
to play on that wild.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Card, right, They're gonna have to play in the wild card.
But after Suarez did his best Tanner Scott impersonation last night,
allowing the Reds to win the game against the Padres
in the ninth a little bit of breathing room here.
But remember they still have ten left against the Rockies
and the White Sox, So the Dodgers gonna have to
(04:33):
figure out a way to slow down their arch rival
Giants with that series beginning on Friday. And more importantly,
they got to make sure they win this final game
against the Rockies because from here on out, competition gets
a little bit more stiff.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Tyler glass Now, a favorite here in the world of
great sports Talk right out of Hartkin Great Sports Talk
formerly known as the Indians. He left the game on
Monday night with a no hitter after seven innings. We
discussed it on the air. I got some text like.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Did you see his pitch count?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
It's one hundred and five. Jack Morris threw two hundred
and thirty pitches in Game seven of the World Series.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Well, he went on one of those podcasts today, so the
one with our friend A. J.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Prazinski's I guess it's okay.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
But today glass Now was asked about leaving a no
hitter and how he felt about it.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I had like fifty pitches in the first two innings,
so I kind of figured just after seven, with one
hundred and seven pitches, I figured they weren't gonna let
me keep going. I would have loved to, but I
just think, like with playoffs coming up, and I guess,
like my last few years of like injuries, I completely
understand obviously, to anytime you're in the game and like
someone asked you if you want to stay, and you're
always gonna say yes, It's kind of I'll always be like, yeah,
(05:43):
just let me keep going, but I respect the decision
to take me out. It's fine.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
What did he did he even give you the option
or when you came off the mount was Doc?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Like?
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Was Doc like, hey, good job, you're done.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:55):
More of that one, which I kind of expected him
to a little bit.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
I didn't really have like option to go back out
or anything. If I did, I would have tried to
argue my case. But it is what it is. A
decision was made.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
I just you know what that sounds like? Me, what's wrong?
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Jazz. It's just the first thing that came to my
head was Jazz, Ow, what's the matter? You're up next?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Jazz?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I have got a really bad tramp.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I've been having really bad cramps all week.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
It was probably menstruall.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Screw you, Melon, screw you Melon.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I just and they're even trying to give him the out,
like they're trying Tyler listen to wait. The way they're
framing this question, well, I'm guessing like as soon as
you were walking down that dugout steps, Doc is like,
don't even think about it, and he's like, yeah, no,
you know, I just knew that. You know that that's
probably what it was, so I didn't even bother, you know,
saying I want to go back out there, because I
figured they would be like, hey, your history.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
No.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Instead, they're like, but I can just imagine who else
is in there with him, Kate's it's he and von
Sooyek and all them do who else is standing on
that railing with Bob Dyer, Bob Garren And they're like,
you're up next, Chaz. I'm sure they're like, hey, you
think there's a chance in hell? This guy asks if
he can stay in this is zero, I'm going less
(07:11):
than zero. He walks up and well, I assume you
guys are gonna probably tell me I can't go back
out there, So I'm just gonna go sit on the
bench here and pop some double bubble and uh, you
don't have to say anything to me.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
What did he did he even give you the option?
Or when you came off the mount? Was Doc like?
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Was Doc like, hey, good job, you're done?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
More that one?
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Which I kind of expected him to a little bit. Yeah,
I didn't really have that option to go back out
and I didn't.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I would have if I did, I would Yeah, more
that one? Well is it more that one? Or He
was like, Hey, your body breaks down. You're not going
back out?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Chaz?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Good job You're done.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
More that one, Yeah, more that one.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Yeah, more that one.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Chargers are one to know. They travel to Las Vegas
take on the Rail on Monday Night. The Raiders are
also one to know. Tim Kates will be riding his
Stooter studio scooter over to the Raiders studio to do that.
He'll be zipping by on olive.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Who knew Kates was gonna snake one of them scooters
from UCLA. Yeah, his his mode of transportation of choice.
I heard somebody hollow it away and be like, hey, is
that guy stealing that guy's scooter? Hey, the guy's stealing
a scoop. But that is your own personal scooter. You
do not do the bird thing. Instead, you purchased your own.
I stole my daughter's one. Yes, that's exactly right.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Nothing but a thief.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Ohh Chargers are three and a half point road favorite.
Uh us, he's two and oh. They start the Big
Ten play on Saturday at Purdue. They're twenty and a
half point favorites. In West Lafayette, Ucla host New Mexico
Whoo on Friday Night at the Rose Bowls. They are
a fifteen and a half point favorite over the Lobitos.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Ucla and New Mexico have met only once before. That
was interim coach ed Kazarian Lee Ucla to a twenty
seven thirteen victory over Rocky longs Lobos in O two
Las Vegas Bowl Christmas Day, when Katie Naida, the female kicker,
kicked it straight into the ass of the UCLA Center.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Guy's got to sit on a donut to this day.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
It's terrible good.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
He can't work.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
People don't remember, you know, the sacrifice of that guy
hit in his But Adam Silver, not Sparatu, spoke today
to the Born of Governors. They had to close all
the blinds because this sun was wow exactly. He was
asked about the Kawhi Leonard Steve Baumer inspiration allegations.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Here he is, and our investigators look at the totality
of the evidence. So I think whether mere appearance, like
just by the way those words read, I think, as
a matter of fundamental fairness, I would be reluctant to
act if there was sort of a mere appearance of impropriety.
I think the goal of a full investigation that there
(10:03):
really was impropriety, because also in a public facing sport,
again the public conclusions that later to turn out to
be completely false. And so I do would want anybody
else in situation mister Bomber is in now or Kawhi
Leonard for that matter, to be treated the same way
(10:23):
I would want to be treated if people were making
allegations against me. So the answer is, it's we're not
a court of law at the end of the day,
either that we have broad authority to look at all
information and to weigh it accordingly. My powers are very broad,
a full range of financial penalties, draft picks, suspensions, et cetera.
(10:45):
I have very broad powers in these situations.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
The answer is he is really rich. Guys like really
really rich.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I have an allegation against you Silver, You're a.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Vampire whoa public ah that this circumstantial bloo.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
There's a new.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Change for the twenty twenty five to twenty six season.
In the NBA end of period, heaves that are unsuccessful
will now be. They didn't do this before.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Well, no, because players wouldn't take them, because players are
selfish and they didn't want it to count against their
field goal percentage, so they wouldn't take the half court
heave and have it count as a misshot on their
box score. But now the NBA is going to say
those heaves will go as a missed shot for the team.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
These guys are the biggest, right say it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Get ready to beat it, Ronnie, They're the biggest. Exactly,
they're It's like, you're not going to take a heave
that could give your team three points because it's likely
a low percentage shot and will miss.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
That's like the guy that makes a sack, the guy
that takes a sack because he doesn't want to throw
it away because it hurts his path. Rob Johnson, Hey
got him paid twenty four mis Matt, we have more gambling.
It's popping off at the no Oh.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
The no Fresno State men's basketball player manipulated his performance
for gambling purposes, conspired with two other players to place
bets on his stats. It's an NCAA investigation and it's MIKEL. Robinson,
San Jose State guard Steven Vazquez and then Fresno State
guard Jalen Weaver. They are permanent ineligible because of gambling violations.
(12:32):
They are not enrolled at their schools. Robinson and Vasquez
were roommates at Fresno State for the twenty three twenty
four season. They alleged that they conspired to wager on
Robinson to underperform. During a January seventh, twenty twenty five
game between Fresno State and Colorado State. Three prop bets
totaling twenty two hundred dollars were placed on the under
(12:52):
on Robinson's stats. The bets flagged by a Nevada sportsbook
operator one fifteen thousand and nine, one hundred fifty dollars,
the book saying quote during the game, Robinson altered his
performance with three points, scored, two rebounds, one three pointer
and no assists to ensure the underline. That's one yeah,
(13:14):
these underprops is what are getting all these guys. They're
too stupid to recognize that you put serious money on
a Fresno State Colorado State prop underplayer that's gonna net
fifteen K for a twenty two hundred dollars investment, probably
probably the only bet that large on that game. And
a parlay, no less a parlay. A parlay you make
(13:37):
me sick. You thought you were going to hit that?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
All right, we'll be back with Adrian Gonzalez, some exciting
news about watch parties and Dodger analysis.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Nothing year, just a three four way parlay on a
Fresno State Colorado State game on Thursday night for twenty
two hundred bucks.
Speaker 4 (13:54):

continue their riding of this ship after five consecutive losses.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
And joining us right now, Matt somebody that knows about
the ups and downs of life in the Major League
and being excellent fifteen years in the Big Leagues five
plus seasons and the Dodgers. Five time All Star, four
time Gold Glove Award winner, three time Silver slugg We
know him and we love him. We like his style.
(15:04):
He's got a Dodger watch party coming up. We're going
to talk about that. Oh joining us right now from
Spectrum Sports and at LA and many other endeavors. The
one and Only Adrian Gonzalez on the Petrosen Money Show
at an East Lake High I believe.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
In the Chula Vista area. What's cracking, Adrian?
Speaker 6 (15:25):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Brother?
Speaker 6 (15:27):
I'm doing great. I'm doing great. How are you guys
doing great?
Speaker 4 (15:30):
We're doing pretty well a little better than we were
during that road trip. I mean, you're a pretty measured guy, Adrian.
You can't be a hitter like you were unless you
have kind of an even keel latitude, you know, like
Eric Carros does. But do you get a little weird
when the Dodgers lose that many in the road Did
you start to think this team was looking complacent? I mean,
(15:50):
did you get freaked out?
Speaker 6 (15:52):
You know, I don't know about complacency being the right word,
you know, I just I really think that from what
I was watching, I really felt like they lost the
focus on just team at bats, quality at bats. I
felt like the pitching was doing great. Obviously we saw
some bullpen meltdowns, but I felt that even in those
(16:13):
games that the bullpen, you know, gave up those runs,
the offense could have provided more runs earlier on in
the game, so it would be a bigger cushion. So
I really felt like the entire road trip was more
on the offense than it was on anybody else. They
weren't facing great pitching to begin with. You know, the
lineup that we have is a lineup that we should
(16:34):
we be putting up five, six, seven runs a game,
And I just felt like the at bats weren't really
like team at bats. They weren't you know, when you
had the runners in scoring position, the at bats weren't
focused on driving the run in. They were still focused
on just trying to hit the home run, or swinging
too hard, or just a bad game plan altogether. So
(16:54):
for me, it was more about that focus on quality
team at bats, and I felt like these two home
games so far, they've had a little bit better job
doing that.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I feel like you're describing the last five years, Adrian,
It's been kind of a home run walk or strikeout mentality.
And you know, you look at the metrics and it
says in the playoffs, the team that hits the most
home runs wins. So how hard is it or are
we am I reading it wrong? How hard is it
to change that mentality in the batter's box when I
(17:26):
feel like this has been the last few years that
the Dodgers are just swinging for the fences and they're
okay with the strikeouts.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Yeah, you know, I feel like last year they won
the World Series because of the lights out bullpen they had.
You know, obviously there were some big home runs in there,
there were some big hits in there, but when you
look back at the playoffs, you really felt like the
bullpen was able to carry them through the playoffs and
win the World Series. And you know, those kind of
(17:53):
a bad the home runs in the postseason I feel
like come from just having a good at bad because
you're facing the best pitching out and you cannot depend
on that. If you have a lineup that is able
to run into these home runs, obviously you're gonna hit them.
But really it just comes down to those quality of bats.
In my opinion, you know, I think a guy that
(18:14):
does a great job, which is really good having him
back his Max Munty. Uh, he's a guy that he
is more of a home run walk, you know type
of guy. But his abats or quality team at that
you know, even though the results are you know, tend
to be a little more on the on the slug side.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
You know, I really feel that he's he's a guy
that that that really has those good quality team at
that you know, doesn't chase a ton uh and and
it's always having those long at bats and uh and
and when they're when there's running the scoring position. I
feel like he puts the ball in play more than
than than what the guys have shown.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
How how long Adrian Adrian Gonzalez with us. Uh, he
is going to have a Dodgers watch party. You can
visit air B and B. That's air B, the letter N,
the letter B to find out how you can attend
to Dodger's watch party with Adrian Gonzalez. Limited spaces are
available and there are multiple dates. We'll continue to give
you information on that through the conversation here. But you
(19:11):
mentioned Max Moncy. He comes back a couple of nights ago.
Tommy Edmond's gonna come back tonight?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
How long?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Like, how long do you think it takes? I mean,
we got seventeen games left? Is that enough time? Ti
Oscar seemed to get out of his funk last night
at least for one game. Like what do you think
it typically takes a hitter or I shouldn't say think,
you know, how long does it take a hitter to
kind of try to find that rhythm again?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
You know?
Speaker 6 (19:34):
That is I've always felt that when you set your
mind to I'm going to focus, I'm gonna bear down.
It could be one of that. It doesn't need to
be twenty at bats, it doesn't need to be fifty
at that, it doesn't need to be you know whatever.
It's when you trigger your mind to say, I'm going
to focus. You know, I've always used the example of
(19:54):
I've gone to playing winter ball, and I've gone from
my couch, literally from my couch to go play again
game and winter ball, and because my mindset it counts,
I automatically went in there and by the second that
batt I was ready to go.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
You know.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
So I've gone into spring training and because in your
mind and spring training, you're like, I'm working on things.
I'm just doing this, I'm going through the motions. You're
not mentally there, and then the season starts, you trigger
your mind and now all of a sudden, you're ready
to go. So it really just comes down to the focus,
the mental focus. I think physically the guys can can
turn it on. You know, they've seen enough pitches, they've
(20:29):
seen enough repetition, they know they're timing. I think they
can just step up there and be ready to go. So,
you know, that's the good thing about this team being
a veteran squad that when when it counts, when when
it matters, when the postseason starts, I feel like they're
going to be mentally into it and they're going to
be able to put together those greater bats.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
What a wonderful answer. I feel like I know how
to get mentally involved as a hitter now. Anyway, the
great Adrian Gazalez joining us right now, it's always wonderful
to talk to him. It's to see Clayton Kershawe out
there doing what he's doing at this age. I mean,
I know he's not that old, but he looks old.
And do you think he'll be involved in the postseason heavily.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
It's great. I love I love when I'm watching out
of curge. I havn't seen him at the peak of
his career, having played behind him at the peak of
his career when he was just Hey, I'm just gonna
throw throw you fast. If it was the right handed hitter,
I'm gonna throw you fast holes inside and sliders down
then and you know, try.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
To hit me.
Speaker 6 (21:27):
And now what he's doing and being more of a
finesse pitcher, being more of a you know, arm side,
you know, throw pitches away and even backdoor sliders and
using that curve ball a little bit more, especially earlier
in the count, and what he's been able to do.
He's shown that, you know, everybody's in love with velo
and spin rate and all those things nowadays, but he's
(21:48):
shown that a guy that can execute a pitch and
execute pitches consistently will still be super successful in the
big leagues because pitching is all about executing pitches and
uh and it's a great exam before the young guys
that are there with the Dodgers right now that it's
about execution. It's not about how hard you throw, It
is not how hi you spin it, or you know
what kind of vertical and horizontal you got on your pitches. Listen,
(22:11):
if you leave a pitcher over the plate, I don't
care who you are is going to get hit in
the big leagues. So it's about, you know, commanding your
pitches and knowing how to pitch and mixing pitches and
velocities and all that, and so it's great to see
what he's been able to do. I do think there's
a role for him in the playoffs, whether it's the
fourth starter or you know, where they decide to go
with him. Obviously, having him with the experience that he's got,
(22:33):
it'd be great to have in certain key situations.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
It may sound crazy, and maybe it's prisoner of the moment,
but you just said it, Adrian. Just the way that
he executes and the way he's grinding and the focus
on every single pitch. I don't know if I'd rather
have anybody else out there. I know it's not the
stuff that Blake Snell or Otani or Yamamoto have. I
totally recognize that, but I would assume you're a guy
that your teammates look to to lead them. Right, you've
(22:58):
led the league in hits and Ribby's and Walks and
sackflies five time All Star? Is that is that something?
Or are these just professionals and they don't need that
sort of additional motivation. I feel like you get juiced
when Kershaw's out there and that that could do something
more than just what he gives you by throwing the
ball in a playoff game. Or is that just the
(23:19):
fan ass kind of talking.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
No, I really do think there's something to that, And
I've been preaching this on pregame and post game for
the last month and a half. I really feel like
the best team for the playoffs, in my opinion, is
to have ya, I'm Amoto, Snell Glass Now, and Kershawll
be the four starters, and you make show Hey the
closer to me. That then makes the most sense. It
(23:44):
show he has close games and the WBC before he's
proven that he can do it, and so for me,
that would be the road I would go. Having Kershall
be the fourth starter. You know, he's a guy that
can easily go out there and give you five innings
and keep you in the game and his thing, and
then you bring in the bullpen behind him. So I
think that sets up the team for the most success.
(24:06):
We'll see what with Andrew in the front office, and
Dog decided to go with going into the playoffs. But
I would love to see Kersh held as as a
fourth starter in the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
You know where that fantass is for and when Matt,
you know what I do know the great Adrian Gonzalez,
our guest you just mentioned, Doc Dave Roberts gets the
blame for everything, even when the bullpen blows the game,
but he's very loyal. It seems he stands behind the guys.
What kind of guy is he to play for?
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Oh, he's great. I mean he was you know. I
got to play with him in two thousand and six
and we build a really really good relationship where, you know,
really really good friends still to the day and we
talk all the time. And he's the guy everybody wants
to play for, you know, he's he's a perfect manager
to have, especially for the team that they have, and
so I think everybody pulls for him. Everybody's happy to
(24:54):
play for him, and and that's the reason why the
guys play so hard out there.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Adrian tell us with us give you a little bit
more detail on the Airbnb dot com and how you
can go to the watch party last one for me, though, Adrian.
They lose five in a row, it looks like it's
going to be really hard unless they sweep the Phillies,
which they certainly can do to get one of those
top two seeds. How big of a deal is that
when the team was the number one team prior to
(25:20):
that collapse coming out of the All Star Break and
just right before it to the Brewers when they went
on their hot streak. Is the number one seed is
a buy into the division round? How big of an
advantage is that versus having to try to make this
thing come together as a wild card team.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
It's a big thing. I mean, you know, I've always
said that the way was structured a couple of years
ago with the whole week being a break that was
really tough on the teams that had to buy. I
think they've adjusted it where now the Wildcards three straight
games and so you only have four days now, which
is a lot more doable for the bye week. You
always always wanted to play one ness series because when
(25:58):
you're in the playoffs, anything can happen. I don't care.
It's baseball. This isn't like basketball, where the best team
usually wins. This is baseball where the team that plays
the best, the team that executes and you know it's hot,
can win. So having to play a wild card, especially
three games, a three game series, you know, one bad mistake,
you lose a game because of one mistake, and then
(26:19):
all of a sudden, you know, you have a pitcher
go out there and give up runts early and and
then you lose and you're out. So having that that
that bye week and or or that buy in the
in the playoffs is huge because there's one less series
you have to worry about, one less series you have
to you know win. So, Uh, it's really it's a
really big deal. And and the way it looks, the
teams that they might have to play are going to
(26:40):
be teams that are really tough.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
You know, you look at you look at the Mats,
who have a great team. Uh that's that's kind of
structured well for the playoffs. They have some great hitters,
they have some good starters, uh, and they could easily
win a three game series. You have you know, the
Giants who are playing well, or the Padres, or it
depends on who they line up with. Uh, it'll be
a tough series and winning two out of three, and
(27:03):
in that kind of scenario is nice. Never never something
you can just say, Oh, they're gonna win easy.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
The one and Only Adrian Gonzalez. He's got the Airbnb parties.
Tell us about these watch parties. You're doing them. Uh,
it's a little bit different than an Airbnb, but there's
food and drinks and it's gonna pop off.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
Now, these are some fun, uh you know, experiences that
we were able to put together with Airbnb. And uh,
you know, we're gonna have theresl Stress cater him our
new restaurant in West LA. So we're gonna have some
good Mexican food, We're gonna have cutt of that beer there.
We're gonna have just a good experience overall, and it'll
be fun to watch the Dodgers, especially as this penn
(27:41):
And race is coming down and these games are gonna
be very important, so it'll be a lot of fun
to watch and and just hang and have a good
time eating some good food, drinking you know, some of
some good beverages.
Speaker 2 (27:51):

Speaker 4 (28:58):
Thank you for listening. Every The Petros and Money Show
on AM five seventy LA Sports mercifully coming to an end.
We'll be on tomorrow on a flex alert. All right, Matt,
you got to take em for the Voodoo queen Happy.
It would have been two hundred and twenty fourth to
Marie Catherine Leveaux. Born in the French Quarter, lived in
(29:20):
the French Quarter, died in the French Quarter, and all
those years a free woman of African, European and Native
American descent, practiced root work, conjure Louisiana Voodoo. Oh that's
some Santaia and Roman Catholicism. Oh well, you know, they
(29:41):
are a little bit mixed up down there in the South, Matt.
We gotta get down to a Beata Sprains sorted to
get down to a New Iberia.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Let me tell you, sir, she was free because at
the time of her birth, Louisiana was still administered by
Spanish colonial officials. Her mom, Marguerite, a free woman of color.
Her father Charles Trudeau, a white la a white Louisiana
Creole politician.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
It's a little more mixed up than you'd think. There
was a Native American Confederate general.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
It's Louisiana, man.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Here he goes.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
She grows up and marries Jacques Pari from Saint Domingue,
who showed up in New Orleans in the wake of
the Haitian Revolution. He works as a carp carpenter until
eighteen twenty two when he disappears. Then he figured he
died in eighteen twenty three in Baton Rouge. So Marie
hooks up with a French noble. Did he die on
the grounds nobody knows. Did he die on the grounds
(30:37):
of of commodore coach at lsu Brian Kelly. I do
believe the body has been exzoomed from his property when
they dug their.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Pool under the mangroves.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
She marries this dude, Christophe Dumeni de Gaupion, and they
have fifteen kids. Her cause celeb becomes pretty listener. On
death row, she would visit them, She would offer them
last rites, she would share their last meal, and then
she would pass along poison to them so they didn't
have to go to the gallows. Oh during the yellow
(31:11):
fever epidemic, she provided meals, prayers, herbal remedies for the sick,
doing everything free of charge. She was known as the
voodoo practitioner in town and the townshairdresser. She owned a
beauty parlor. She took care of the high society white
ladies and was sure to keep a journal of all
their gossips. She befriended their servants and slaves to get
(31:34):
more dirt on them, and then during her voodoo consultations,
the information made her see clairvoyant. People came to the
Voodoo queen for help with family disputes, their health, finances,
and more. Leveaux performed her services in three main places,
her own home on Saint Anne Street within Congo Square
and your favorite pe Lake Ponta Train.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
I love the lake.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
She was the third female leader of Voodoo in New Orleans,
took over for Marine Slape who usurped Samtis day day Now.
There was an attempt to challenge Marie in eighteen fifty,
but it failed because she was so incredibly popular as
the Voodoo queen. Her snake zombie mixed with Roman Catholic
saints mixed with African spirits and Native American spiritualism made
(32:20):
her star the town taurus to this day pee well
not to this day. Sadly, they would visit her grave
draw three X marks in accordance with decades old tradition
if they wanted to vote to grant them a wish
and if it if it fad.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
There there's a photo of me en Rice's house.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
They would have to yell out their wish and then
they would have to return circle their exes and leave
LeVaux and offering. And it got to the point that
they had to close if the Saint Louis Cemetery won
no longer public because of all the traffic that happened.
In March twenty fifteen, at the time of her death,
of New York Times, the New Orleans Daily pick A
Yun and the Daily States described her as quote a
woman of great intellect charisma who is also pious, charitable
(33:04):
and a skilled irvil healer.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
I'll tell you, Matt, the five Zho four is just
not the same since the pick became a online paper.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Right about that? You're absolutely right about that, and that
is why, that is why Ronnie has the masthead of
the Daily pick I at across his chest. Happy birthday, Marilla.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
That's a good point, old masthend right there.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I do believe Commodore Kelly could use her.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Well.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Actually, you know, ls, you looks okay right. I think
I think that our friend from yesterday has him at
number three. Speaking of Brian Kelly, this would be Irish news,
but which we don't have.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
As a thing yet.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
But today, Matt, we will celebrate Johnny Fingers. Not Jimmy Fingers,
who was an early victim of Steven Segall's applied justice
in the great movie about Jamaican crime maybe the best ever.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Marked for Dat. Not Johnny Chingins Johnny No.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Rodnie's favorite singer, Johnny c No Johnny Fingers aka John
Moylett sixty nine from Ireland, keyboardist, founding member of one
of the real new wave bands, the real New Wave.
(34:23):
The Boomtown Rats came from a family of artists, you know,
with Bob Geldoff Manna.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Of course you come on.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
His cousin was also in the band. He had a
piano teacher, Miss Grist as a child, who Jimmy Fingers,
excuse me, Johnny Fingers claims, stole his youth. The name
the boomtown Rats came from Woody Guthries' autobiography. Boomtown Rats
(34:53):
was the name of Woody Guthries' young street gang of toughs.
I did not know that Peter did. I six studio albums.
Johnny Fingers is on with the boomtown Rats after they
broke up in eighty six. Him and Simon Crow the
drummer founded Gung Ho.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
I love that movie.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Not the movie though, but the band was that Korean
guys in Gung Ho or Japanese?
Speaker 3 (35:19):
I think it was.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Oh, that's a good question. I'm guessing Japanese just because
it was the peak the tome Conda versus Ford in RCA.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Well, it's interesting because there is a Japanese connection. But
before we get to that, he did have to sue
and finally settled just six years ago to receive credit
after all these years for co writing.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
I don't like Mondays.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
That's the big one with Bob Geldoff.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
And when the band reunited in twenty thirteen and went
on tour again and made a couple albums, he did
not go with the rest. Maybe it was because of
the I don't like Monday's lawsuit. Maybe because he lives
in Tokyo.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Well, that'll do it.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
He now lives in Tokyo. I don't know if it
