House giving away Charger tickets, Clipper tickets, and BJ's gift cards,
plus I'm sure some other prizes. So set your schedules
one to three this coming Monday, Irvine Marketplace, BJ's Restaurant
in brew House.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Well, I know we've been wrapped up in proving Wyoming
football slot in Life today, but did we get any
kind of update on the mayor of Irvine the eighty
year old.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Guy Kates anything on Larry Agron.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Have not heard back.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
No guys out email. Yeah, yeah, that was very convincing.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I heard a couple of things about him on the
secret text also. Line one was that he has like
a long standing feud with some other Irvine City council
person and they have like a real, very contentious relationship
and that. Yeah. And then the other one is that
he's run for president before this guy. Really, yeah, let's
(01:47):
go right. So I'm sure he wants unless he's just
that old and he's tired.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
He's eighty about Although I did see a YouTube video
of him from the city council meetings when they were
virtual during COVID, and he has a very quaint and
simple living room. A piano sits behind him. Matt, was
he like Jack Lelane or Joe bat It looked like
he had he had quite a bit of energy when
(02:13):
he was talking about building the Veterans Memorial at the
Great Park and needing to get that started and conquering
COVID together. It looked like in his curio cabinet he
had a Godzilla doll, which got me kind of excited.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Oh, he must be a big Blake Snell fan.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yes, so I think Agron. I think he'd be okay
if we can get in touch with him, the former
North Hollywood High quarterback.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, that's a good one. Tell us about those games,
tell us about doing Battle with Canoga. It's gonna be good. Yes,
it is all right, Matt. Instead of putting David Vase
on today, like Agrin, we've aggregated some of the Dodger
stories that have been trickling out during the Bliss post
(03:08):
Bliss Dodger celebration. The latest, of course, just now Yamamoto
loses the Cy Young. I think everybody pretty much knew that.
Yeah we did. But at the same time, would you
rather be runner up to the Cy Young or one
(03:29):
of the most legendary playoff performing pitchers of all time?
I think he would take the latter and the World
Series Championship ring that's two in a row for Yamamoto,
who's been great in both postseasons. What would you rather do? Man,
I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
World Series MVP over Cy Young. I think very hard
to win a World Series. Just ask Clayton Kershaw, who
has four Cy Youngs and an MVP and no World
Series MVP, let alone a World Cheries MVP. So the fact,
he's got two in the two years he's been in
the majors, plus an MVP. Pretty incredible.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
That being said Matt, there's other news that is also disappointing.
If you thought Yamamoto was gonna win the cy Young,
I guess you're disappointment. The Year of the Cat has
come to an end, at least here. Al Stewart never
joined us, and he was always hurt anyway. Picture Tony
(04:32):
Gonsolyn was designated for assignment a few days ago, and
today he elected to enter free agency. He's gone, He's
trickled out of our lives like a watercolor in the
rain man. So long to the cat Man Tony Gonsolin.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
And so one's our pursuit of El Stewart.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I'd still take al Stewart. Gonsolin was drafted by the Dodgers,
cultivated Here was an All Star in twenty twenty two.
Like Kate said, we'll always have twenty twenty two, when
he finished the year sixteen and one with a two
point one four ERA. He got hurt. After that, he
(05:22):
missed the entire twenty twenty four season. With Tommy Yanni
Tommy Johns in Greek we call it Anastasios Giannis. He
was shut down after seven starts this season, Matt, which
was very upsetting, and he didn't pitch well anyway. He
(05:43):
had internal brace and flexor repair surgery in August that
tapped him out and that'll keep him out for most
of the twenty twenty six seasons. So the Catman is gone,
but not forgotten here on the show. There's some pictures
we forget, like the Stone Bone and people like that
(06:06):
that kind of are out at Land and Knack. They're
in and out of our thoughts, Bobby Ice, Bobby Miller.
But I'm not gonna lie Matt. This one stings because
I really did think we were gonna be able to
get Al Stewart at some point.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Well, we certainly pursued him with great aggression for the
better part of a half decade.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
And well, Kate said he pursued him. I never saw
any emails. All I heard was Kate said, yeah, yeah,
I asked him. You know, it's like when Ronnie tells
Bert to raise the level of something and he doesn't
touch him and says he did, and he goes, oh,
that's bitter, you know, like that, It's just like that,
you know, what I mean, Matt, You know what I mean.
(06:51):
You're picking up what I'm putting down.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I smell what you're stepping in.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Well, if I'm upset about the cat man, Tim Kates
is catatonic because his new favorite Dodger.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
That's a hell of a pun.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
That catcher is gone. Benny Biceps. Oh, atrophy has set in, Matt.
He's like that. Ben rhart Vett was claimed off waivers
today by our friends, the Cincinnati Reds. Rart Vet was
called up when Will Smith hurt his hand in September.
(07:25):
He took over the starting catching job from Dalton Rushing,
just because he's a little bit more mature of a
catcher and they didn't really need the bat When Will
Smith came back in the NLDS, rart Vet stayed on
the postseason roster as the backup catcher in the NLCS
and the World Series. He had a great ride with
(07:47):
the Dodgers. Seemed like he was a great guy and
beloved and embraced by everybody. And now he's gone. I
don't know what Tim is gonna do. Honestly, probably just
pick up and carry on. But not an easy thing
to swallow. This is what happens at the end of
(08:07):
every baseball season that it's not easy to deal with.
It's certainly disappointing. And Matt, this is even sadder if
you think about it.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
What I'm sadder than our the end of our pursuit
of Al Stewart having never been realized.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Well, that doesn't pursuits nothing is all that Still Al
Stewart sadder than my Al Stewart dream taking a big hit,
Sadder than Tim Kates's favorite catcher on the Dodger roster
being picked up on waivers by Cincinnati. This is even
more hardcore, Matt, because it's kind of sad because you
(08:47):
think about our dear friends at well in the East
and if you're in Japan right now, I mean you're
wearing Dodger gear head to toe. I'm a moto Otani.
What a time to be alive, right But Dodger infielder
outfielder High Song Kim Kim returned to South Korea, and
(09:12):
in Korea they're like, well, Japan's just defecating all over us.
In his first meeting with the media at the airport,
Kim was greeted by a guy who says Kim's dad,
Owes him money, which was a little weird. Kim says
that the guy keeps following him around demanding he pay him,
(09:35):
but High Song does not owe him anything and is
not responsible for his father's debt. Then welcome home. Right.
Then he goes on TV and did a great interview
dressed in a suit, and they're like, hey, how come
you're not doing anything? Look at what all these other
He's like, dude, I'm you know, I'm getting used to
(09:56):
to pro baseball in the States. Give me a break. Anyway.
There's a little of the audio from that that interview,
translating loosely what he said. He said, thank you for
(10:19):
your support. Even though I didn't do well this year.
I promised to do better next year so I can
show my face a lot more to fans at the
baseball field. Thank you. This poor guy, right, Like, what
do they expect from him? This isn't cool. Your dad
owes me money? Right when you get off the plane
(10:41):
and you've got to sit here and apologize. You just
want a World Series and you got you got to
sit here and apologize. Well, he's not the World Series MVP. No,
that's true. My mistake. He barely played San Kit but
he's still fast. Oh there's no doubt about that. Man
still got speed. So poor guys twenty six years old,
(11:04):
comes over from Korea, started the year in TRIPLEA, got
called up and played well. They asked him to learn
how to play in the outfield. He did. He's a
utility player for the Dodgers in the postseason. He goes
back home and he feels like he has to apologize.
He played in seventy one games, had a two to
eighty average, three home runs, eleven RBIs, and thirteen stolen bases.
(11:28):
Leave Kim alone. Got didn't do anything wrong at all.
But I think Korea's won that money. Korea is upset
because you got World Series MVP and LMVP in Japan,
and Japan's looking down on Korea as they often have,
so unfortunate for Kim. I hope that everything gets worked
(11:51):
out back in Korea. Maybe just come and spend the
offseason here in La where you can do a bunch
of signings and go to the Raising Canes and make
all kinds of money in the silly season.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
You know what I mean, Matt, Yeah, I get a
guest voice appearance on The Demon Hunter k Pop. You
know on the Netflix.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Oh people would love that, love it.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
So apparently they asked him about his role in the
postseason as well, and he said, quote, I wasn't really disappointed,
though as a baseball player, of course there was some regret.
Only nine players get to play, and that's part of baseball.
So I focused on doing my job well in the
role that I was given.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yeah, they have high expectations in Korea. They wanted to
be like Otani or Yamamoto, and maybe he will one day.
But and Sasaki was great too. You know, they're jealous.
The Koreans are jealous of the Hapongs, and they're taken
it out on Kim and his dad. Not cool. I
(12:48):
wonder how much money Kim's dad owes that guy allegedly,
probably a lot, right, five million dong is that what
it's called. I think it is dong? Well, the only
hit like three dollars. We'll be right back with the
top story of the day. That was the latest with
the Dodgers, the Catman gone, rot Vet gone, Kim disparaged,
(13:14):
super sad. Speaking of sad, we'll talk what the hell
happened or the Clippers and how they screw this up.
Net We've made it even easier to take LA Sports
with you this summer. Make AM five seventy or your
favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on
(13:37):
the iHeartRadio app using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Speaker 2 (13:41):

Speaker 3 (13:43):
Welcome back, everybody, It's Petro Send money on AM five
seventy LA's Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, your
home of back to back World Series champs the Los
Angeles dosay and tonight, we've got Clippers taken on House
Nuggets pregames at six point thirty, tip off at seven thirty.
(14:05):
Hold that thought, because we are going to tell you
all about it right now. Just remember you can podcast
the show on the iHeartRadio app. We're always there. You
can stream it live there too, but you can podcast
it and take us with you wherever you want, like
some people that listen nationally and internationally, So keep that
(14:26):
in mind. But speaking of the Clippers, right now, it's
time for the top story of the day, Top story
of it.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Well, we don't do it often, and there's good reason
for that, but we're going to Clippers tonight. The Clippers
are going to step on us all next week. That's
why we are doing the one to three show and
we're excited about that. In Irvine, comes see us for
lunchtime one to three at the Marketplace in Irvine. BJ's
Restauran and brew House. A bunch of giveaways, including Clipper tickets.
(14:54):
But with the news today, the Bradley Beal's out and
he's got a hit.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I heard their news today.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Oh boy, right, a disaster, just a complete and total disaster.
They had a window. And let this be a lesson
no matter what you do in your professional life, and
look not that I can give you the greatest advice.
We've had many an instance from film on things that
(15:23):
you should take the heart and apply to your daily life,
you know, as art imitates life, like coach Finn Stock
from teen Wolf.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah, coach, what's.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
It from me? Let me give you a little advice.
There's three rules that I live by.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Never get less than twelve hours sleep, Never played cards
with a guy who's got the same first name.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
As a city. And never go near a lady who's
got a tattoo of a dagger on her body.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Now you stick with that.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Everything else is cream cheese, great game.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Finn Stock, one of the great coaches of all time,
like Norman Dale, right, Finn Stock is a close second.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Close second. And if you got a wolf, play them.
You know what, if you got a kid that turns
into a monster, don't freak.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Out play him, No, keep you in that gum.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
That's right. When your conference win city, who knows, maybe
win state and pass out some sage advice to a
senior that looks like he's about thirty years old and
clocking in at five foot three. And then I do
think there are a couple other rules here that could
apply to our top story. This may not be the
only time we run into this one today.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Ah, you fought you fell victim to one of the
classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in
a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well
known is this never go in against the Sicilian when death.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Is on the line.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
So what are we talking about? All five of those
things you should apply to your daily lives. But here's
what I think we apply in the top story. If
you run an NBA team worth billions of dollars, here's
two bits of advice I'd passed along to our billionaire friends.
Never negotiate one hundred million dollar plus free agent contract
with an agent that asked to be called uncle, and
(17:09):
don't sign players from deadbeat teams that rejected a trade
to a contender midseason. You follow those and everything else
is cream cheese. There is no question, no question that
the Kawhi Leonard free agent pursuit deal slash deals are
(17:30):
going to go down as one of the worst signings
in NBA history. And I say it acknowledging that he's
been a three time All NBA player in his six
years with the Clippers, that he's been All Defense for
two of those, that he's been a four time All Star.
But it has been an unmitigated failure because the Clippers
(17:53):
set themselves up. If we remember in the summer of
twenty nineteen, to hit the free agent market, an unprecedented
free agent market with so much cash, an owner and
Steve Balmer who would spare no expense, a pitch that
was promising. It was Kevin Durant, it was Kyrie Irving,
(18:15):
it was Kawhi Leonard sign with us. The Lakers are
coming off another losing season. They were thirty seven and
forty five. Yes, Lebron had signed there, but remember that
first year was a mess. They had been terrible for
a half decade. The window was going to open again
for the Clippers to make some headway. But you can
just point to awful contracts given to players.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
That just sucked.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
And I don't mean sucked in terms of basketball performance,
I mean sucked the life out of anything and everything
that had been working. And in this case of Kawhi,
it was the demands. It was Uncle Dennis. It was
catering to a non superstar superstar, building a roster around him,
(18:58):
asking him to be the face of a franchise when
he doesn't feel like he even has a face, can't
film a face.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Eyes without a face.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
All of it pete complete and total, unequivocal failure, which
the Bradley Beal signing and his now being out for
the season, that James Harden trade, and I know Don
made a very compelling and who am I to push
back on him. I would never do that, but he
made a very compelling passion plea of well, you know,
(19:29):
James has actually been pretty good. That he's done whatever
the Clippers have asked of him. If you want him
to pound the ball on the floor and shoot thirty
five times, he'll do that if you want him to distribute,
he'll do that. But my point is it's still not
fun to watch that guy play basketball. It's not entertaining
at all. There is very little that James Harden does
that you're like, wow, that was really that was a
basketball exhibition that I'm going to remember for the rest
(19:52):
of the year. And all of these moves and everything
that they have done since the summer of twenty nineteen
has been done with the backdrop of we need to
build around Kawhi Leonard. We need to ensure that Kawhi
wants to stay here. He is the central force. He
is our north star that guides us and the year.
(20:15):
Going into that free agent summer, some nights.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
It's really fo of you, matten't you. You just can't
see the north star. No, you walk into traffic. It's
how much of a guy if it had out.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
The feeling going into that free agent summer too. I
remember it because we loved it.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
We loved that Clipper, so we were crowing like a rooster.
We were. I don't think we went as far as
to put Adam on like Rogan and Rodbney before. We
were pretty geeked up.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I mean it was a likable roster. You had a
young star, remember it was Tobias Harris and Boban and
it was Toby and Toby and Bob.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
They were so fun, it was feel good.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
You had a former All Star and Italian Danilo Gallinari.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Toby and Boby. Gollinari came on the show, right, he
was great. Yeah, we like it to play the basketball.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
You had two journeymen. One that won sixth Man of
the Year that year in Lou Williams, who liked strippers
and chicken wings. The other a guy that had to
figure out how to get back to the NBA from China,
a Chicago high school legend and a guy that played
with hustle on every single dribble, Pat Beverly. You had
(21:22):
Montrez Harrel, a third year big man that came out
of nowhere, a borderline All Star, third and sixth Man
of the Year voting a second year art he turned
into our favorite Clipper, second year promising big man of
Viza Zubats from Megalx who was acquired in the trade
with the Lakers, one of the dumbest trades ever.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Hey Muscala went on to great things for the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I believe he was a forty percent shooter before he
got traded in a scholar shot like twenty percent and
played two months for him. As they missed the playoffs,
they had a forty five percent shooter in rookie Landry
Shammitt and the centerpiece of their future, sure hands selected
by the great Jerry West, Shay Gilgess Alexander. It was
(22:06):
a fun team. It was a scrappy team. It was
a team that outperformed their projected win total by ten games.
That team that year that we thought was going to
be this great pitch for all these free agents almost
won fifty games. They went forty eight and thirty four
with no stars, nearly fifty wins. In the six years
since Kawhi Leonard has been here, they have won. Remember
(22:28):
that team won forty eight. Since Kawai signed, they have
won forty nine, forty seven, forty two, forty four, fifty
one and fifty and they have gone further in the
playoffs than that fun twenty nineteen team twice with a payroll. Now,
that year before Kawhi, their payroll was one hundred and
(22:49):
eighteen million bucks. It jumped to one thirty two, one
thirty seven one, sixty six, one ninety three. It is
two hundred and two now two hundred and three million
this year, nearly ninety million war than it was in
eighteen nineteen, and they are three and seven. Nobody is
going to the games despite it being the best freaking
basketball experience in arena in any sport, forget basketball. It's
(23:13):
just the best damn arena out there.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Best one I've ever been in. And I got no
dog in the fight.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
And the team is that miserable, and it's all because
of one guy that they signed, this Kawhi Leonard, who
demanded they trade five first round picks and shake Gilgess
Alexander for Paul George, another broken down non superstar thinks
he's a superstar. They traded all of that for the
(23:42):
perennially hurt poster child of load management ineffective. Eventually in
a postseason, year after year, nobody going to the games.
And it's because of that one dude, And I do
believe it will go down based on what they had
going into that free in summer as one of the
absolute worst free agent signings that derailed what could have
(24:06):
been an incredibly promising future on an incredibly fun team.
That turned into watching freaking paint dry and you couldn't
even do that because the painter broke his leg and
had to stop painting the wall halfway through.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
I think it's a hip. It's a hip.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
He shattered his hip like a true old person. Who
the hell breaks a hip except the incredibly old.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
It is an ugly situation, Matt. And you never know
how things are going to turn around and what things
are gonna be. But it looks really bad. And if
you look hopeless in November in the NBA, what's February
going to be like? Easy?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
They're ten games in and it feels like it's over, but.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
It's not over. They have they're all. They're on the
road next week. We have early shows. One of them
is in Irvine, starts at one o'clock at the BJYS.
We'd love you to come see us. You know that
karaoke clipper guy came up to me while I was
trying to write at the thing and just started singing
in my face to prove that he could sing.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, thank you. I believe it's Mark or Mike, one
of the two.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Well, we'll be right back with the dead and a
live guy. Bertie other day, and then we have quick
Hits and the fun Fact. We're going all the way
till six point thirty, and then that unbelievable Clipper team
will take the floor.

of Clippers, but when and events like this transpire on
the Petrosen Money Show is routinely flexed and moved and
super flexed like it will be on Monday, perhaps every
now and then, you've got to acknowledge one of the
biggest blunders in the history of a professional franchise in
Los Angeles.

Yes, the curse. Well, they got a guy with a
trick knee and a guy with a trick hip.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Yeah, you're alive guy. One of the great character actors
of all time. Wallace Shawn is eighty two today. Quick
bio than two iconic scenes, well one just one of
my favorite scenes, the other iconic. And after the first
word you hear uttered from his mouth, you will know
exactly who he is. If you don't know who Wallace
Shawn is already born in the Big Town. His dad, Famous,
(32:29):
was the longtime editor of The New Yorker. His younger brother,
Alan Sean is a famous composer. He grew up on
the Upper East Side.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
He went to.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Harvard not for acting, but he was planning to be
a diplomat polypsi, economics, philosophy. He went to India on
the Fulbright scholarship. But he was a writer and his
early work was very successful. Was put on stage immediately
(33:00):
Marie and Bruce. Was so successful it ended up coming
a film with Broderick and Julianne Moore. His My Dinner
with Andre led to London calling put on a bunch
over there, Aunt don no, Aunt Dan and Lemon. There
you go, the designated Mourner. And then he hit the
silver screen in seventy nine as an actor. Woody Allen
(33:22):
cast him in Manhattan. So there's the little mini bio
Wallace Sean, and of course many roles may follows.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
It's a great, great show man. I got it, happened
to like New York, I happened to love this town.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
The first will be one of my favorite films that
is not regularly cited by anyone. I don't know why
it's one of my favorite films. I guess just time
and place. It was on cable all the time when
I was in like high school or something, or middle school,
and I took to it. So here Wallace Sean is
a priest. We've got a New York City all boys
(34:02):
Catholic school mixer. The girls school has come over and
girls sitting on one side, boys sitting on the other.
And before the dance begins, our man Wallace has written
the word lust on the chalkboard and delivers this message.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
There is a beast living within each and every one
of you, a filthy beast whose name.
Speaker 6 (34:29):

within you, the beast that wants to come into the
eternal fires of hell, where for all eternity.

bones will burn, and your will be produced to eight
temperate black one.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
That film is Heaven Help Us, and I cannot recommend
it enough, of course. His most iconic role nineteen eighty
seven's The Princess Bride, as he plays Vizzini.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
He guessed wrong.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
You only think I guess wrong.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
That's what's so funny.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
I quits classes when your back was turned. Ha ha,
you full you f victim to one of the classic blunders.
The most famous is never get involved in a land
war in Asia, but only slightly less well known is
this never go in against the Sicilian when death is
on the line.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
So good we had to play it twice today he
is still going does multiple films every year, as you
would imagine with a voice like that, incredibly successful voice actor.

plus I'm sure some other prizes. So set your schedules
one to three this coming Monday, Irvine Marketplace, BJ's Restaurant
in brew House.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Well, I know we've been wrapped up in proving Wyoming
football slot in Life today, but did we get any
kind of update on the mayor of Irvine the eighty
year old.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Guy Kates anything on Larry Agron.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Have not heard back.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
No guys out email. Yeah, yeah, that was very convincing.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I heard a couple of things about him on the
secret text also. Line one was that he has like
a long standing feud with some other Irvine City council
person and they have like a real, very contentious relationship
and that. Yeah. And then the other one is that
he's run for president before this guy. Really, yeah, let's
(01:47):
go right. So I'm sure he wants unless he's just
that old and he's tired.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
He's eighty about Although I did see a YouTube video
of him from the city council meetings when they were
virtual during COVID, and he has a very quaint and
simple living room. A piano sits behind him. Matt, was
he like Jack Lelane or Joe bat It looked like
he had he had quite a bit of energy when
(02:13):
he was talking about building the Veterans Memorial at the
Great Park and needing to get that started and conquering
COVID together. It looked like in his curio cabinet he
had a Godzilla doll, which got me kind of excited.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Oh, he must be a big Blake Snell fan.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yes, so I think Agron. I think he'd be okay
if we can get in touch with him, the former
North Hollywood High quarterback.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, that's a good one. Tell us about those games,
tell us about doing Battle with Canoga. It's gonna be good. Yes,
it is all right, Matt. Instead of putting David Vase
on today, like Agrin, we've aggregated some of the Dodger
stories that have been trickling out during the Bliss post
(03:08):
Bliss Dodger celebration. The latest, of course, just now Yamamoto
loses the Cy Young. I think everybody pretty much knew that.
Yeah we did. But at the same time, would you
rather be runner up to the Cy Young or one
(03:29):
of the most legendary playoff performing pitchers of all time?
I think he would take the latter and the World
Series Championship ring that's two in a row for Yamamoto,
who's been great in both postseasons. What would you rather do? Man,
I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
World Series MVP over Cy Young. I think very hard
to win a World Series. Just ask Clayton Kershaw, who
has four Cy Youngs and an MVP and no World
Series MVP, let alone a World Cheries MVP. So the fact,
he's got two in the two years he's been in
the majors, plus an MVP. Pretty incredible.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
That being said Matt, there's other news that is also disappointing.
If you thought Yamamoto was gonna win the cy Young,
I guess you're disappointment. The Year of the Cat has
come to an end, at least here. Al Stewart never
joined us, and he was always hurt anyway. Picture Tony
(04:32):
Gonsolyn was designated for assignment a few days ago, and
today he elected to enter free agency. He's gone, He's
trickled out of our lives like a watercolor in the
rain man. So long to the cat Man Tony Gonsolin.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
And so one's our pursuit of El Stewart.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I'd still take al Stewart. Gonsolin was drafted by the Dodgers,
cultivated Here was an All Star in twenty twenty two.
Like Kate said, we'll always have twenty twenty two, when
he finished the year sixteen and one with a two
point one four ERA. He got hurt. After that, he
(05:22):
missed the entire twenty twenty four season. With Tommy Yanni
Tommy Johns in Greek we call it Anastasios Giannis. He
was shut down after seven starts this season, Matt, which
was very upsetting, and he didn't pitch well anyway. He
(05:43):
had internal brace and flexor repair surgery in August that
tapped him out and that'll keep him out for most
of the twenty twenty six seasons. So the Catman is gone,
but not forgotten here on the show. There's some pictures
we forget, like the Stone Bone and people like that
(06:06):
that kind of are out at Land and Knack. They're
in and out of our thoughts, Bobby Ice, Bobby Miller.
But I'm not gonna lie Matt. This one stings because
I really did think we were gonna be able to
get Al Stewart at some point.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Well, we certainly pursued him with great aggression for the
better part of a half decade.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
And well, Kate said he pursued him. I never saw
any emails. All I heard was Kate said, yeah, yeah,
I asked him. You know, it's like when Ronnie tells
Bert to raise the level of something and he doesn't
touch him and says he did, and he goes, oh,
that's bitter, you know, like that, It's just like that,
you know, what I mean, Matt, You know what I mean.
(06:51):
You're picking up what I'm putting down.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I smell what you're stepping in.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Well, if I'm upset about the cat man, Tim Kates
is catatonic because his new favorite Dodger.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
That's a hell of a pun.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
That catcher is gone. Benny Biceps. Oh, atrophy has set in, Matt.
He's like that. Ben rhart Vett was claimed off waivers
today by our friends, the Cincinnati Reds. Rart Vet was
called up when Will Smith hurt his hand in September.
(07:25):
He took over the starting catching job from Dalton Rushing,
just because he's a little bit more mature of a
catcher and they didn't really need the bat When Will
Smith came back in the NLDS, rart Vet stayed on
the postseason roster as the backup catcher in the NLCS
and the World Series. He had a great ride with
(07:47):
the Dodgers. Seemed like he was a great guy and
beloved and embraced by everybody. And now he's gone. I
don't know what Tim is gonna do. Honestly, probably just
pick up and carry on. But not an easy thing
to swallow. This is what happens at the end of
(08:07):
every baseball season that it's not easy to deal with.
It's certainly disappointing. And Matt, this is even sadder if
you think about it.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
What I'm sadder than our the end of our pursuit
of Al Stewart having never been realized.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Well, that doesn't pursuits nothing is all that Still Al
Stewart sadder than my Al Stewart dream taking a big hit,
Sadder than Tim Kates's favorite catcher on the Dodger roster
being picked up on waivers by Cincinnati. This is even
more hardcore, Matt, because it's kind of sad because you
(08:47):
think about our dear friends at well in the East
and if you're in Japan right now, I mean you're
wearing Dodger gear head to toe. I'm a moto Otani.
What a time to be alive, right But Dodger infielder
outfielder High Song Kim Kim returned to South Korea, and
(09:12):
in Korea they're like, well, Japan's just defecating all over us.
In his first meeting with the media at the airport,
Kim was greeted by a guy who says Kim's dad,
Owes him money, which was a little weird. Kim says
that the guy keeps following him around demanding he pay him,
(09:35):
but High Song does not owe him anything and is
not responsible for his father's debt. Then welcome home. Right.
Then he goes on TV and did a great interview
dressed in a suit, and they're like, hey, how come
you're not doing anything? Look at what all these other
He's like, dude, I'm you know, I'm getting used to
(09:56):
to pro baseball in the States. Give me a break. Anyway.
There's a little of the audio from that that interview,
translating loosely what he said. He said, thank you for
(10:19):
your support. Even though I didn't do well this year.
I promised to do better next year so I can
show my face a lot more to fans at the
baseball field. Thank you. This poor guy, right, Like, what
do they expect from him? This isn't cool. Your dad
owes me money? Right when you get off the plane
(10:41):
and you've got to sit here and apologize. You just
want a World Series and you got you got to
sit here and apologize. Well, he's not the World Series MVP. No,
that's true. My mistake. He barely played San Kit but
he's still fast. Oh there's no doubt about that. Man
still got speed. So poor guys twenty six years old,
(11:04):
comes over from Korea, started the year in TRIPLEA, got
called up and played well. They asked him to learn
how to play in the outfield. He did. He's a
utility player for the Dodgers in the postseason. He goes
back home and he feels like he has to apologize.
He played in seventy one games, had a two to
eighty average, three home runs, eleven RBIs, and thirteen stolen bases.
(11:28):
Leave Kim alone. Got didn't do anything wrong at all.
But I think Korea's won that money. Korea is upset
because you got World Series MVP and LMVP in Japan,
and Japan's looking down on Korea as they often have,
so unfortunate for Kim. I hope that everything gets worked
(11:51):
out back in Korea. Maybe just come and spend the
offseason here in La where you can do a bunch
of signings and go to the Raising Canes and make
all kinds of money in the silly season.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
You know what I mean, Matt, Yeah, I get a
guest voice appearance on The Demon Hunter k Pop. You
know on the Netflix.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Oh people would love that, love it.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
So apparently they asked him about his role in the
postseason as well, and he said, quote, I wasn't really disappointed,
though as a baseball player, of course there was some regret.
Only nine players get to play, and that's part of baseball.
So I focused on doing my job well in the
role that I was given.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yeah, they have high expectations in Korea. They wanted to
be like Otani or Yamamoto, and maybe he will one day.
But and Sasaki was great too. You know, they're jealous.
The Koreans are jealous of the Hapongs, and they're taken
it out on Kim and his dad. Not cool. I
(12:48):
wonder how much money Kim's dad owes that guy allegedly,
probably a lot, right, five million dong is that what
it's called. I think it is dong? Well, the only
hit like three dollars. We'll be right back with the
top story of the day. That was the latest with
the Dodgers, the Catman gone, rot Vet gone, Kim disparaged,
(13:14):
super sad. Speaking of sad, we'll talk what the hell
happened or the Clippers and how they screw this up.

of it.
Speaker 2 (14:33):

(14:54):
But with the news today, the Bradley Beal's out and
he's got a hit.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I heard their news today.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Oh boy, right, a disaster, just a complete and total disaster.
They had a window. And let this be a lesson
no matter what you do in your professional life, and
look not that I can give you the greatest advice.
We've had many an instance from film on things that
(15:23):
you should take the heart and apply to your daily life,
you know, as art imitates life, like coach Finn Stock
from teen Wolf.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah, coach, what's.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
It from me? Let me give you a little advice.
There's three rules that I live by.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Never get less than twelve hours sleep, Never played cards
with a guy who's got the same first name.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
As a city. And never go near a lady who's
got a tattoo of a dagger on her body.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Now you stick with that.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Everything else is cream cheese, great game.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Finn Stock, one of the great coaches of all time,
like Norman Dale, right, Finn Stock is a close second.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Close second. And if you got a wolf, play them.
You know what, if you got a kid that turns
into a monster, don't freak.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Out play him, No, keep you in that gum.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
That's right. When your conference win city, who knows, maybe
win state and pass out some sage advice to a
senior that looks like he's about thirty years old and
clocking in at five foot three. And then I do
think there are a couple other rules here that could
apply to our top story. This may not be the
only time we run into this one today.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Ah, you fought you fell victim to one of the
classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in
a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well
known is this never go in against the Sicilian when death.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Is on the line.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
So what are we talking about? All five of those
things you should apply to your daily lives. But here's
what I think we apply in the top story. If
you run an NBA team worth billions of dollars, here's
two bits of advice I'd passed along to our billionaire friends.
Never negotiate one hundred million dollar plus free agent contract
with an agent that asked to be called uncle, and
(17:09):
don't sign players from deadbeat teams that rejected a trade
to a contender midseason. You follow those and everything else
is cream cheese. There is no question, no question that
the Kawhi Leonard free agent pursuit deal slash deals are
(17:30):
going to go down as one of the worst signings
in NBA history. And I say it acknowledging that he's
been a three time All NBA player in his six
years with the Clippers, that he's been All Defense for
two of those, that he's been a four time All Star.
But it has been an unmitigated failure because the Clippers
(17:53):
set themselves up. If we remember in the summer of
twenty nineteen, to hit the free agent market, an unprecedented
free agent market with so much cash, an owner and
Steve Balmer who would spare no expense, a pitch that
was promising. It was Kevin Durant, it was Kyrie Irving,
(18:15):
it was Kawhi Leonard sign with us. The Lakers are
coming off another losing season. They were thirty seven and
forty five. Yes, Lebron had signed there, but remember that
first year was a mess. They had been terrible for
a half decade. The window was going to open again
for the Clippers to make some headway. But you can
just point to awful contracts given to players.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
That just sucked.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
And I don't mean sucked in terms of basketball performance,
I mean sucked the life out of anything and everything
that had been working. And in this case of Kawhi,
it was the demands. It was Uncle Dennis. It was
catering to a non superstar superstar, building a roster around him,
(18:58):
asking him to be the face of a franchise when
he doesn't feel like he even has a face, can't
film a face.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Eyes without a face.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
All of it pete complete and total, unequivocal failure, which
the Bradley Beal signing and his now being out for
the season, that James Harden trade, and I know Don
made a very compelling and who am I to push
back on him. I would never do that, but he
made a very compelling passion plea of well, you know,
(19:29):
James has actually been pretty good. That he's done whatever
the Clippers have asked of him. If you want him
to pound the ball on the floor and shoot thirty
five times, he'll do that if you want him to distribute,
he'll do that. But my point is it's still not
fun to watch that guy play basketball. It's not entertaining
at all. There is very little that James Harden does
that you're like, wow, that was really that was a
basketball exhibition that I'm going to remember for the rest
(19:52):
of the year. And all of these moves and everything
that they have done since the summer of twenty nineteen
has been done with the backdrop of we need to
build around Kawhi Leonard. We need to ensure that Kawhi
wants to stay here. He is the central force. He
is our north star that guides us and the year.
(20:15):
Going into that free agent summer, some nights.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
It's really fo of you, matten't you. You just can't
see the north star. No, you walk into traffic. It's
how much of a guy if it had out.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
The feeling going into that free agent summer too. I
remember it because we loved it.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
We loved that Clipper, so we were crowing like a rooster.
We were. I don't think we went as far as
to put Adam on like Rogan and Rodbney before. We
were pretty geeked up.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I mean it was a likable roster. You had a
young star, remember it was Tobias Harris and Boban and
it was Toby and Toby and Bob.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
They were so fun, it was feel good.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
You had a former All Star and Italian Danilo Gallinari.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Toby and Boby. Gollinari came on the show, right, he
was great. Yeah, we like it to play the basketball.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
You had two journeymen. One that won sixth Man of
the Year that year in Lou Williams, who liked strippers
and chicken wings. The other a guy that had to
figure out how to get back to the NBA from China,
a Chicago high school legend and a guy that played
with hustle on every single dribble, Pat Beverly. You had
(21:22):
Montrez Harrel, a third year big man that came out
of nowhere, a borderline All Star, third and sixth Man
of the Year voting a second year art he turned
into our favorite Clipper, second year promising big man of
Viza Zubats from Megalx who was acquired in the trade
with the Lakers, one of the dumbest trades ever.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Hey Muscala went on to great things for the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I believe he was a forty percent shooter before he
got traded in a scholar shot like twenty percent and
played two months for him. As they missed the playoffs,
they had a forty five percent shooter in rookie Landry
Shammitt and the centerpiece of their future, sure hands selected
by the great Jerry West, Shay Gilgess Alexander. It was
(22:06):
a fun team. It was a scrappy team. It was
a team that outperformed their projected win total by ten games.
That team that year that we thought was going to
be this great pitch for all these free agents almost
won fifty games. They went forty eight and thirty four
with no stars, nearly fifty wins. In the six years
since Kawhi Leonard has been here, they have won. Remember
(22:28):
that team won forty eight. Since Kawai signed, they have
won forty nine, forty seven, forty two, forty four, fifty
one and fifty and they have gone further in the
playoffs than that fun twenty nineteen team twice with a payroll. Now,
that year before Kawhi, their payroll was one hundred and
(22:49):
eighteen million bucks. It jumped to one thirty two, one
thirty seven one, sixty six, one ninety three. It is
two hundred and two now two hundred and three million
this year, nearly ninety million war than it was in
eighteen nineteen, and they are three and seven. Nobody is
going to the games despite it being the best freaking
basketball experience in arena in any sport, forget basketball. It's
(23:13):
just the best damn arena out there.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Best one I've ever been in. And I got no
dog in the fight.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
And the team is that miserable, and it's all because
of one guy that they signed, this Kawhi Leonard, who
demanded they trade five first round picks and shake Gilgess
Alexander for Paul George, another broken down non superstar thinks
he's a superstar. They traded all of that for the
(23:42):
perennially hurt poster child of load management ineffective. Eventually in
a postseason, year after year, nobody going to the games.
And it's because of that one dude, And I do
believe it will go down based on what they had
going into that free in summer as one of the
absolute worst free agent signings that derailed what could have
(24:06):
been an incredibly promising future on an incredibly fun team.
That turned into watching freaking paint dry and you couldn't
even do that because the painter broke his leg and
had to stop painting the wall halfway through.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
I think it's a hip. It's a hip.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
He shattered his hip like a true old person. Who
the hell breaks a hip except the incredibly old.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
It is an ugly situation, Matt. And you never know
how things are going to turn around and what things
are gonna be. But it looks really bad. And if
you look hopeless in November in the NBA, what's February
going to be like? Easy?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
They're ten games in and it feels like it's over, but.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
