And a whole bunch of media.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Matt As you see all the cameras, sorry, Craig, all
the cameras getting together. You're the one that made me
take it out of my pocket. Okay, he wanted to
check the battery.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
All right. It is time for the word of the.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Day, his words, the word of the day.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Today's word of the day is what are the headlines?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
What should the headline be? Today?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Sports?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
That's all we think about.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Here's the other story nobody's talking about. You know, I'm
not a racist. I mean, I hope he's a bad headline.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
What are the headlines?
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Well, Matt, you could laugh at the Chiefs a little
bit more if the Chargers hadn't lost a couple straight.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
But feels pretty good, though.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
This could be the worst headline ever. And I've left
you alone about it. But this, I wonder if I
saw this one. Taylor Swift has a new album out
and in that album, she wrote a raunchy song about
Travis Kelcey and.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
You guessed it. It's puzzo.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, and the song is called wood and did it?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yes, it's true.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
And it was discussed on the Kelsey podcast, which I
believe is called New Heights.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yes, it's the name of their podcast, Jason and Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
When asked about it, he said, great, great soundtrack, Jason
Kelsey told his brother while discussing the singer's twelfth album.
The question sent Travis into a fit of laughter, saying
that it's a great song. Jason said, do you feel
cocky about the song? Would and Kelsey said no, any
(04:42):
song you know she references me is very I love
that girl. What do you mean any songs she would
reference me in any way? He trailed off. Jason the
brother pointed out that the track is not about Travis,
but more specifically, that is Puzza. The tight end denied this,
insisting that you don't understand the song than the Eagles.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Center said.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
The quotation of the lyrics redwood Tree ain't hard to see,
And he then said, I thought redwood was a little
generous of a word. Somebody wrote a song about me,
it would be like Japanese maple sometimes can't see. Jason continued,
and everybody seemed to like that. These are the lyrics.
(05:34):
Forgive me. It sounds cocky. He amazed me and opened
my eyes. Redwood Tree ain't hard now. I mean, this
is the Bob Dylan of our generation. Redwood Tree, it
ain't hard to see? His love was the key that
opened my thighs. Isn't this like little girl music?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
The Taylor Show?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
The majority of people at Taylor Swift concerts are very
young girls.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
She said, Girl, I don't need to catch the buquet
to know a hard rock is on the way. The
curse on me was broken by your magic wand jeez,
and she called him the new heights of manhood, wasn't
she with Mayor John Mayer.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah, I mean the word around town mayors.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
But again, Travis Kelsey is six foot six. I would
hope proportionally that. You know, you gotta be working with something.
I mean, and it's all it's all relative, big hands,
big feet, all drink of water like you know.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I don't know, I don't know. But that's the music
that the kids are listening to.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
The congratulations Taylor, you should be proud. Really penned a
gem there.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Yeah, I mean, it's that's right up there with come
together right now over me or.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I was thinking eleanor Rigby. It's a good one too.
I prefer Google Maps.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
All right, man, it's time for the thank you, Ronnie
for getting that hands.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Out of the top number of the day. Number the
day is two.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
You want to know why it took until the fifth round,
and you want to know why Kevin Stefanski looked the
way he looked when the Browns drafted Shador Sanders looked
no further than his presser yesterday where he was pet
post questions. Coach of the Browns, Joe Flacco traded to
the Cincinnati Bengals yesterday. Bengals without Joe Burrow, Jake Browning
(07:24):
has not been able to do anything.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
As the starting quarterback. They feel like they got a pretty.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Darn good team, spending a lot of money on it,
trying to salvage their season. They got a couple wins
with the NAFC North is up for grabs. You got
the Ravens at one in four, Steelers atop the division
with a forty one year old quarterback and have not
played great football, got a couple of lucky breaks, so
they figure, what the hell, let's trade for Joe Flacco
and see if we can make a run with you know,
Jamar Chase and t Higgins and all this talent we
(07:49):
got on offense. So now Dylan Gabriel becomes a starter
for the remainder of the season as it appears, but
that was not the topic of conversation. Instead, Kevin Stefanski
was peppered with questions about why he has not named
Shador Sanders the official backup quarterback and second on the
(08:10):
depth chart, and as he pointed out, well he just
elevated Bailey Zappy from the practice squad. We like to
carry three quarterbacks, so kinda get some reps and run
through some practice and see kind of how it all
shakes out. And yeah, I'll I'll let you know who
the backup quarterback's gonna be. Dylan Gabriel is the starter
(08:31):
figure you want to ask about him moving forward. He's
not done badly at all against the Vikings and his debut.
Yet all of the line of questions were about whether
or not Shador Sanders would be made the number two
quarterback in light of the Joe Flacco trade.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Well, you know, they made that bad match. They did,
and now they're sleeping in it and it's unpleasant.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
But I think the.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
They that made that decision, unfortunately or not, the they
that have to sleep in that bet who's the day
probably ownership.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Well, they still have.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
To sleep in the bed. It's just a nicer bed.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yeah, I feel like it's a much nicer bed where
you know the shadoor Sanders just occupies like a dog would.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Yeah, you know, a little corner.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Not easy to get an interview with an owner.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
No, whereas Stefanski's He's.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Got to do media availability every week.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Unfortunately for him, he's the one asked, well, can you
just name them the number two. Why won't you just
name him backup quarterback? Don't know, don't care, not something
that's probably gonna affect us this week.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
That's what Dion Sanders said when they asked him about it.
He said, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I don't care.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
He said, I love Shadhoor Sanders, but I care about
Colorado and trying to win games here.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
And his health. You hope he's okay.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah, well, well that's the right answer too.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
I mean, you know, but he said a bunch of
stuff about the Browns that he shouldn't have said before the.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Draft, right right.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I think he kind of learned is.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Well, you know, lessons aren't learned easily. But no they
or no, it is time for the song of the
day running this is.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
The song of the day.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Today's song of the day is called Radio Signal, brought
to you by a four man band called Phantom Buffalo,
because we've got a powerful radio signal emanating from chabiz Ravine,
where the Petros and Money Show is broadcasting live from
the AM five to seventy Dodger Suite, featuring three hours
(10:25):
of great sports talk surrounded by the sports towns of
Game three of the NLDS at beautiful Dodgers Stadium, where
our friend Tim Cats will host the playoff edition of
your Morongo Casino.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 6 (10:40):

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Stay up here to play them the frenchiast song.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Okay, Kates and I got to head down and best
second to join us in about an hour as well,
considerably more packed on the field than it was.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
We could go.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Yeah, you were like red guy swingers, like this place
is dead. Let's go to somewhere else.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
This is a bust, so Brian Anderson.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Next, We've made it even easier to take LA Sports

(11:36):
your favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast a preset

Speaker 2 (11:45):
You're home of the Dodgers, the World Series champion Dodgers
AM five to seventy LA Sports. We got Game three
of the NLDS coming up at six eight pm. We
got Dodgers on Deck at five, Tim Kats and I
have made it down on the field. P are up
there in the broadcast suite and the man of the
hour has got a microphone in hand and he's set
(12:07):
to join us.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
We are very excited to talk to this guy. I
don't think he's ever been on the show.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
I think so.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
But there's so many people that I've met over the
years in broadcasting, producers and stage managers and all kinds
of people that sing his praises. And I know you
you might find this hard to believe, but a lot
of play by play guys, you know, sometimes they can
be a little ego driven. Sometimes they can do you.
(12:34):
You know, I don't know. I've never heard this about you, Matt,
but I heard that this guy, other than you, the
voice of the Los Angeles Chargers, is the most down
to earth guy and the best guy to work with
coast to coast, And that goes so far in our
world of broadcasting when it comes to the people that
you touch and everybody, and for years everybody would say, hey,
(12:56):
did you.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Talk to BA? Oh? Yeah, I talked to BA.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
He's the best guys, Like, who the hell's b A?
It's Brian Anderson, a great broadcaster, t n T, TBS, CBS.
You see him in March Madness. He does everything and
he does it all excellently.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
What's up? I have social anxiety, Brian. I'm sorry, but
it's got, it's got. Uh.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
It's gotta be great to be out here. It's great
to have you on the show. This has got to
been a great series to call for you and frenchyet
Oh yeah, hold on, we have a frenchyat thing for
you that you can here listen to that we do.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Building here we go.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
It's pretty yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Wait, he's he's got us uping with David vasse Ba
joining us on your Southern California Toyota Dealer celebrity hotline.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
How are you? Brian? Thanks for doing it. Did you
get the full spread up there in the suite?
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
You can't a match you spread killer? Do you know
how much this stuff costs?
Speaker 7 (13:51):
I know it's it's a little it's a little search Arge.
I can't call the search out.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
We found out and now I feel like I'm eating
in Buckingham Palace every single day that we're up year.
But how much fun has it been to do this series?
Obviously the bank is just allied whether they're booing or cheering. Yes,
how much fun have you had doing this? It seems
like you guys have really embraced it and done a
great jot.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Well thanks for that. I don't think we ever really
have fun.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
We try to act like we're having fun, but we're
on the assembly line, I know what you mean, and
the beer bottles are coming down one at a time
and we're trying to make sure they don't crash to
the ground Lavern and Shirley stops.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah, fun is probably not the best word. We're just
trying to do.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
Right by the players, the series, all the subjects that
are in play.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
But man, it's awesome to be a part of it.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Philadelphia is its own beast, as you know, and it's
very loud. We get screamed at by the fans quite
a bit in Philadelphia Pleasure. They think it's our fault
that the Phillies are down really owing this series, but
that's part of it also, So now we love it.
I mean, we've been doing the playoffs now, TBS. This
is our nineteenth year doing the postseason. It's my eighteenth
(14:59):
year and every time we do it, it's just like
I don't want to be nerdy about it or you know, Pollyanna,
but it is an honor. It's a great honor to
just be a part of these moments.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Well, you've been through so many, and I would imagine
if you're getting ready for this series, you had the
two wild Card games to kind of get you probably okay, Dodgers,
maybe a little different in the postseason, but sort of
what you looked at overall that final month the wild
Card to kind of where we are now and how
you processed Okay, this is what I think I'm going
to see from the Dodgers.
Speaker 7 (15:28):
Yeah, well that's that was the big story in the
Wildcard series. We didn't know what the bullpen construction was
going to be. So when they started unleashing the new pieces,
the starters turned relievers and then Sasaki at the end.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
You're like, oh, okay, well this works.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
This is going to be now the Dodgers are back
to their place on the hill. So that was really
the takeaway from the Wildcard Series. It was domination of
the Reds and then they've kind of done the same
with the Phillies. They look like the best team in
baseball to me right now, things could change quickly obviously,
but that was the major question was the bullpen. How
(16:03):
does Dave Roberts get to the finish line? And now
I think he knows that, and I think he really
knows that after Game two putting the bobber in the
water with Blake Trianon, I don't think that's probably gonna
need it to buy on that one, and may be
a play when the Dodgers are down, but not when
they're up or tied. So I do think he's kind
of got the plan now. And you know, he talks
(16:23):
about using arm talent, which is a kind of a
catchy little phrase, but that's true, and it feels very
old school to me, very much like what we'd see
in the eighties and nineties, even in the early two thousands.
You take your best pictures, whether they've been starters or relievers.
You turn those starters that don't make the cut into
relievers and you ride with them.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Our friend Steve Sachs, who does the morning show with
Tim here six to nine, made a great point. He goes,
they're not starters or relievers in the playoffs, they're outgetters.
That's all you're looking for. And one out getter that
we were talking about maybe a half hour ago on
the show. Is we just set you know, fifty five thousand,
seventh eighth inn that fun starts playing? The bullpen door
opens and twenty two comes stride out. Have you can
(17:04):
you think of like do you think about moments of
like how would I knowing what this place would be, like,
how do I react to that moment?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Do we let it breathe?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
What do we do if Clayton Kershaw walks out of
the bullpen?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (17:16):
I mean I think we talk about it certainly in
our meetings, like how we're going to capture certain things.
For example, Joan Douran has this incredible entertaining entry when
he comes in for the Phillies. They've played that entry
music for him, but the Dodgers were up in both games.
We didn't use it right, like, we didn't go there
because it didn't really have the same vibe. But no,
(17:39):
when Kershall, we're trying to speak to him tonight. So
that's one thing on our list which we're trying to
interview Kershaw either before the game starts or in the game.
It's up to him. Hopefully he'll do it. Obviously we
recognize what he's been. He's a close friend of mine.
I've known him forever and I can't wait to see
him pitch in a postseason environment, this being his last year.
(17:59):
But we talk about all of that, and then as
far as like determining how I'll handle it, I think
I just want to just feel it. You know. It's
like playing jazz music. Whatever is happening in front. You
just step out and try to feel the vibe of
the ballpark and not getting the way. You know, that's
our biggest concern is our verbage getting in the way
(18:20):
of a moment.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
So we want to avoid that.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Oh, if BA is Charlie Parker, then Frenchie's Dizzy Gneski,
who's Fygy. You know, you are a baseball man. You
just mentioned your relationship with Kershaw. You're a Texas guy
and a guy who came up playing baseball from a
baseball family. Big time baseball is not foreign to you.
(18:44):
Wasn't foreign to you when you were a young man.
And we've covered the Dodgers here like you've covered the
postseason on TBS. We've been through a lot of these
and we watch it every year all season long. Is
there a way to describe what we're looking when it
comes to show Heyotani, and it's almost like you feel
like you don't do it enough justice because you can't
(19:05):
talk about it for four hours a day. But at
the same time, none of us have ever seen anything
like this before with him on the Dodgers to be
able to have a postseason showcasing what what are we
seeing and will we ever see anything like this again?
Speaker 7 (19:21):
Yeah, that's a that's a great question. We do get
a little Otani fatigue. I think that's a good way
to put it, because we he's so great, he's so amazing,
and we only have so many words in our vocabulary
to describe a player of this stature, and we've never
seen this. You're right, we've never seen anything like this.
This is These are the moments for me because I
looked up to him so much and he was such
(19:42):
a mentor to me. But this is a moment. I
want to talk to Vin Scully and I want to
ask Vin Scully like that's I want his perspective on
show Hey Otani like we used to for all these
great players that came up. But I'm pretty sure Vin
Scully would say there's been no player like him, and
to do what he's doing. You know, he's the greatest
(20:04):
player in the game. He might be the greatest player
that we've ever seen in the game. He deserves to
be in the in the Babe Ruth conversation, and that's
a I don't think I've ever used another player in
the Babe Ruth conversation, but he's that guy. And and
the fact that you're gonna have him lined up if
the Dodgers take care of business, you'll have him lined
up for Game one. He's gonna that stage just gets
(20:28):
brighter and brighter. He performed on that great stage as
a hitter and now to be able to do it
as a position player, DH leadoff man and uh and
a pitcher.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
It's just it's crazy.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
I think we're gonna be telling our grandchildren about it,
our children about it.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
We're gonna be I was able to call his games.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
I'm saving all my score books just because O'tani's name
is on it.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah, it's been.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
It's been a joy for us all season, from opening
day to the first we were here doing the show
for his first start the playoffs. We talked about it's like,
you know, it could be Roger Clemens or you know,
I don't know Randy Johnson and Barry Bonds combined into
one in the World Series. If he gets to that stage,
there is a team, either the Cubs or the Brewers
that could be in front of them if they had
(21:10):
banned What does he know about the Brewers? You saw it,
I mean they swept them all season. I mean it
was pretty ugly. How much does this Dodger team resemble
the one you saw in the middle of the year,
if at all totally different?
Speaker 7 (21:22):
And I would think the Brewers' staff would tell you
the same. They're They're just there. They were a shell
of themselves in the regular season compared to what they
are now. And I think the Brewers it would be
such an interesting series, Cubs or Brewers, but obviously the
David versus Goliath.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I think the Dodgers would feel the weight of the
whole world.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
Outside of Dodger fandom strongly against them in that series,
because we love the underdogs, and you know, the Brewers
are rocking along at one hundred and ten million dollars
payroll right now, so maybe one and a half of
Otani and so I think that that's I love for us.
On the network side, even though I do the Brewers
from the network.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Perspective, that's great entertainment. You can't have a.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
Better story than the David Gliad story. And Brewers are pesky,
you know, and the Cubs Cubs can bang. I always
thought the Cubs and the Dodgers had the two best
lineups in the National League all year. That has not changed.
I believe that to be the case. Brewers are a
totally different team than the Cubs. They're very much old school,
humble approach, past the baton to the next guy, very
(22:28):
frustrating at bats, high pitches per plate appearance. They could
be the little needle in the Dodger's side. I think
if they could make it, I think they they could
give them a run because they do pitch well today. Notwithstanding,
but they do have a very good pitching staff.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
And as I've been.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
Saying all year, while there are great narratives in the
position player grouping of the Brewers, and those are fun
stories and they're they're accurate. The reason they're so good
is because of their pitching staff, and we saw it
in Game two.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
They're unleashing uppers.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
Nineties and low one hundred is grazing fastballs from six
guys down there, and they can really do that the
whole game. So I would love that matchup. I think
if it comes Dodgers to Big markets, a lot of
notoriety with those two.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
To have the Dodgers go back to Wrigley.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
I called that series in twenty seventeen Justin Turner had
the walk off against Jean Lackey, So I mean, we
live that already and that was awesome. I would love
to relive that again too. So either way, it's going
to be great. That's if the Dodgers make it. This
series is not always.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
It is not.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
They can't look ahead. We can last one from me, Brian.
Yesterday we got into the wheel play. We played all
kinds of sound on the wheel play, and I didn't
think we'd.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Ever get so excited about a bump that was fielded.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
But I think it maybe speaks to where baseball is today,
that we're used to walk strikeout home runs that we
see baseball. It really got people kind of geeked up.
It was surprising.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Well that's old school.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
I remember, you know, all the different bunt plays and
bunt packages you'd have. Even in my days as a
college player, we had all the back picks, the wheel plays,
all these things, and it's left the vernacular. And honestly,
I didn't even use the phrase. And I'm kind of
kicking myself because I'm like, what I just see. I
haven't said the phrase wheel play in probably fifteen years, nuts,
(24:14):
And I hate that because it was such a cool
play in baseball. And there's the counter to the wheel play,
which is the old butcher boy at the play where
the batter shows Bundt pulls the bad back swings away.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I would love to say butcher boy on the air
one more time.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
I used to say it in the early days, but
it's the little TMZ part of this for you guys
is the fact that we don't really know where that
particular play in Game two surfaced.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
So there's a little disc everybody.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
On who called the play, and I'm thinking, like, I
don't know, it felt like that has been worked on,
maybe not during the year. Everybody does that play in
spring training, So I don't believe the whole I don't
know where it came from or who's saying it. I
do not believe for a second that that's a play
that has not been worked on by the Dodgers at
(25:03):
some point. Yeah, so I don't believe that, but because
I've sat through the mundane spring training PfP. We'll play
bunk coverages when all the players are upset and the
sun's beaten down on them at nine am and camelback.
I promise you that has been at least touched at
least once, and it worked a perfection. Castianos didn't need
to run either, right on the part like I think.
(25:25):
But that's the other part of this. Players have not
been been accustomed to seeing this play in so long
they don't know how to react off it either. Same
with the infield fly role. It's like I always say,
if you just let an infield fly role drop, I'm
not sure how many players would know the rule that
you run on your own. You don't have to run
even though the ball drops, it kind of be worth
(25:46):
a try. So these are all things that we're bringing
back old school baseball. I feel like such an old
man right now.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
No, how does it feel the though BA to be
so beloved in a business where everybody hates the play
by play guy and real life true like, no one
wants that guy to come in, but not you. Matt
you're good, but you know, in a business where people, uh,
I have a lot of big egos. What a great
thing that you've done for yourself and your family and
(26:13):
the career you've built. It's been awesome to watch have
a great night and have a great call.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
And we wish you could call it all the way
through the World series.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Brother.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
Oh well, be here for the LCS and then you'll
get you'll get your man Joe Davis.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Back for the World's here. Oh right, we'll take you.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
Thank you guys by yourself with all your friends.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
That's okay. I gotta meet you a lot up here.
I don't want to go down there with liquor on
my bread.
Speaker 7 (26:35):
No, there is a protocol in the big leagues you
don't kill the spread before your teammates get up there.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
So don't be that guy. I just stuck four of
the carrots up my nose and in my ear. Appreciate it.
What a great guy, first time ever on the Petrosen
Money Show.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Yeah, we'll got it.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
Steve, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
How are you and how exciting is this matchup for
you tonight?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
You must be enjoying this.
Speaker 8 (28:52):
I am This is my favorite time of the year,
and I'm with your son down here. That's right, yeah,
hitting over.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
I want to see it at I want to make sure.
Speaker 8 (29:01):
This is exciting and to come back to and oh
from Philadelphia. I mean I took away the home field
advantage and now this is an interesting night. It always
seems when you come back home and you have a
day off, kind of settle in, you know, maybe take
the kids to school, right, you know, and your body's saying,
is it over yet?
Speaker 4 (29:21):
And I want it to be over right.
Speaker 8 (29:22):
So I think the team's most important effort is the
first three.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Innings getting runs.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
I think that's the game.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Well, you you can certainly speak to it, because nineteen
eighty four you did it.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Look you see these uniforms. Garby's hair must standing on.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Those big Fourum, very very nineteen eighty four s.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
But down two oh, and you guys come back and
get a series victory in the DS kind of give
us an idea of what the Phillies are thinking. I
rant it different for you going back home versus them
having to come out here after losing to at home.
But what is the mindset of a very talented team
that finds themselves in this hole.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
Well, I think the most important thing is you know,
during the season, you played day to day, game to game. Postseason,
you start out by thinking of games in thirds. Tonight
it's in lanning. You have to stay within yourself. You
can't get out of it. You can't try to hit
the three run home around all the time. And I
think the team that scores in the most innings will
win the game. See what happens is with our Dodgers
(30:17):
is they'll score in two innings.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Of a game and end up losing.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
I mean, they were fortunate against Cincinnati and especially against
the Red but you.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Can't live on that. You've got to keep building runs.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
And what I love is to see the guys go
the other way, move the runners over, get them in,
get a run here, get a run there, get a
three run lead, and then you know, it's interesting what
the bookmends looking like right now. A bunch of starters.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Yeah, this is not double hitter, it's a regular game.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
But they've been here before and they've got a significant advantage.
I think that the baseball staff itself, it's vertical. It
comes front office town, prepares Dave and the guys to
go out and win every night. It's that time of
the year, though. You know, the body's getting tired, the
arms are getting tired.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
It's more of a will.
Speaker 8 (31:08):
It than it is just a natural performance. But you
guys are a great shape.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
The great Steve Darby, we've been all the way to
Hawaii with him, a wonderful man.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
To renew our value.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
He's about talking about him.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
He's about to do an interview with his daughter, who's
doing an excellent job on KNBC. I hope to do
the challenge with her someday again.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Olivia.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
She is doing a great job, and we know you're
going to interview with her in just a few moments.
But Steve, before we let you go, how many first
pitches in your life have you thrown out?
Speaker 8 (31:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (31:39):
A couple hundred.
Speaker 8 (31:42):
I left the mound probably about fifteen eighteen years ago,
and I'm working my way to just in front of
the dirt because I had my right shoulder replaced four
months ago. I'm doing great, but I can't quite get
the extension that I want.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
So you'll make it work, maybe just kicking.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
It's like a playoff performance. Be right, he always stepped
up in the game's biggest moments. I would assume that
shoulder will not be feeling anything.
Speaker 8 (32:09):
And it's all about the pictures. That's a video of
the pictures, and I love the stills.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Now, did you ever in your wild I mean, you've
served us a Hawaiian barbecue, You've done everything here. Did
you ever in your mind think that the Dodgers with
this ownership group would enjoy this much success? I mean,
you guys had so much success with the O'Malley's, But
did you ever think that this could be this fruitful
for this long under this certain regime.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
It's always a possibility, but so many variables. But you
know when when Mark Walters as the managing partner, came
here and put things together and under the Guggenheim banner,
but he put a great team together, and they're able
to invest in the team and continue to invest. But
not only on the field, but around the whole stadium.
It now is arguably the greatest stadium in baseball because
(33:00):
it has an entrance now and applausea, and it's connected
and players want to come here now because of all
the amenities it has, and because of the way they
treat the players, not only in payroll, but all the
things they need to be able to perform up to
their highest level on the field. So I congratulate them
and I'm happy for them. You know, we have that
(33:21):
golden ear from seventy three to evet eighty five, and
this is the golden air of this body, right.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
I mean, it's wild to think that it's the same
stretch of time, and it seemed like that lasted forever
and from the secondiest through the MIDI.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Have I changed anything?
Speaker 4 (33:34):
No, it look better.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
You guys are still on the will. Yeah, we didn't
make much back then, but you're still going to.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Throw the knuckler. Is that what you're throwing? Yeah, you
can track it. Yeah, make it tough on them there.
Speaker 8 (33:44):
Said Olivia, come out and do the warm up and
given to her, would she.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Well, we'll let you get to that.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
We can't wait to just trying to be out there.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Absolutely, it's great to see out here.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Thank you Steve Copus, thank you Garby, the Great Steve Darby.
Ladies and gentlemen. There's only one Daniels Jewelers guy just
came up here, Matt, and they kicked me out of
my chair.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
What.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
Yeah, the Daniel Jewelers guy was wearing a Daniel Jeweler's Uh,
he's got a Daniel Jeweler's jersey on. And I'm like, damn,
Rick Monday is gonna come here and blow me up?
Speaker 2 (34:15):
If I don't remember around the diamond, around the Diamond.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
Roeweler, Well, hopefully get a few of those tonight. Absolutely,
it's always wonderful to see everybody starting to trickle in
to the stadium.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Matt. I think you're staying down there. I think you
should stay down here.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Oday, because there's a big time golfer down here who's
a big Dodger fan, JJ Spahn who won the US Open. Here,
he's actually talking to us. Wait, I haven't talked to
him yet, but San Dimas High School football rules.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Uh, he's yet right to hear the Dodger head. That's
a guy from San Dimas. Yes, I believe so.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
Well, why do I get to say San Dimas and
no one reacts? And I'm just standing up here with
like a dill does.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Steve was asking where he was. We were trying to
direct ste He's like.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Where is he? Where? What happens? You don't come down here?
Say where? Somebody's I want to go meet him?
Speaker 5 (35:02):
I mean, aren't we in a better situation since I'm
holding it down up here? I mean, who's going to
play the frenchie sound?
Speaker 2 (35:07):
I don't think we're talking to Brian Anderson nor jeffrank Morgan.
But I guess if you wanted to play the frenchie sounds,
there we got.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
G.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I haven't talked to Spawner, but uh, I've just called
him Sponner. I haven't talked to him yet, but Sponner Bonner.

him do on a M five seventy. I probably knows
who we are. P I mean we just need to
talk to Dave.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
I mean think about it like that's the that's prime
window when we were talking about where the ten, the
two ten, and the fifty seven intersect. Yeah, raging because
the rage of the waters in the water, the rage
is in you. That's right at raging one that would
speak to spawn.
Speaker 5 (36:07):
That's as Steve Bush saying, our old friend, the same
guy who does the French.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
He said, right, look at that. It's all coming together.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
We try We'll be right back.
