experienced last year, started in South Korea second.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Straight year with a second straight Opening Day. No, it's
not like opening Day like you started out in Cincinnati.
It's an opening day like you started out in East
Asia because your franchise is so much more important than
anybody else.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Exactly right, exactly right. The eyes of the world were
upon the Dodgers in a three am first pitch situation
here in their local market. Wake up to find that
out you are the eyes of the world, and the
Tigers are in town. Tomorrow will be on the field
beginning at noon. Our coverage begins at nine am, it
runs all the way through in a pregame portion, first
(01:59):

Speaker 3 (02:20):
When Thirst from the Sprite commercials visited Roger Lodge on
the Korean station.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
It's a home run, it's a what it's a home.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
We got Clippers next, pre gave it three thirty.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I gotta tell you, boss, I don't know what the
hell I've been doing for these last couple of years.
If that's a home run, I've just been swinging and missing.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Pregaved three thirty so fully functional play Adam will be
along shortly. All right, it is time to bust a
rhyme with the final hour fun fact.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
In effect, it's yeah, we're three fun facts. Fun fact
brought to you by Prize Picks. Remember to use our
code KLAC when you download the Prize Picks app, you
make a five dollars play and instantly you get fifty
dollars put into your account. Get after it tonight or
by tonight, I mean early even is the Clippers and
Nick's gonna tip it off at four thirty pm. So
(03:10):
play a little James Harden, little Jalen Brunson, those sort
of things. Again, it's the Prize Picks app. Our code
KLAC gets you fifty bucks instantly after you play. You
don't even have to win your first five dollar lineup. Well,
since they're out there in the big town, Pete, did
you know Manhattan was more populated For those that have
ever visited Manhattan and recognize how it feels as though
people are crawling on top of one another.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
So many people you've never seen in your life.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
In nineteen ten, that was peak Manhattan population. Two point
four million people lived on the island of Manhattan in
nineteen ten, compared to today, in which the twenty twenty
five population is seven hundred thousand people less one point
seven million.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah. I think that's a fair thing to say about
I mean, you could probably say it about Boss too.
But if you're in like Boston or Chicago or New
York and you're like, Wow, this city really sucks, I
promise you that it used to be.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Worse considerably when sewage was streaming down the streets.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Oh, when everybody was dying of dysentery in Chicago because
the trash piled up, or the water supply after it
rained would suck in dead horses. Yes, the city used
to be worse.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
And you wonder why the population has thinned.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah. Man, Look, I'm not saying that those there's great
things going on in urban Chicago or great pace to visit,
but I'm just saying the scars of a nineteenth century life.
Matt who we know them, Well, it's time for the
quicktsckets make it quick y'all the Dodgers with a workout
(04:57):
today at the stadium. Tomorrow is the home opener Dodgers
and Tigers. Blake Snell Vessay is going to be absolutely
incoherent with excitement taking on Matt's favorite pitcher of all time,
Tarrek Scruble, Screwble, Screwble. It's a hell of a matchup.
(05:18):
We're gonna say at a thousand times because we're gonna
be sitting down on the field waiting for somebody to
talk to us. Doesn't anybody want to be wanted? First
pitch at four to ten on seventy Tim kaits with
Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck. He'll be swept up into
the suite like refuse detritus of our show when we're
(05:40):
forced to move out of there. Mookie Betts played last night,
Matt Well, he played a little bit and then the
wind kicked up and he blew out of the steam
like a kite.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Hey, that's not funny. His body's eating himself.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
He talked to Kirsten Watson about being back on the
field and how he's.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Feeling looky just to get back out there. I have
a couple of at bats, how are you feeling. Dave
Roberts said that just with each day, you're feeling stronger
and just better and better.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Oh yeah, I'm perfectly fine, perfectly normal. Yeah, So yeah,
that's that's pretty much it for you.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Is it about just kind of with these at bats,
kind of seeing facing pitching, things like that, Like, what's
just the focus for you right now as you're kind
of looking to get things going for opening day?
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Just to play baseball. I mean it's been I don't
even know how long, how many days it's been, but
just to play baseball and to try and get back
into the rhythm. I mean, you know, I don't have
much time, but it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Where do you feel you're like straight to buy specially
trying to build back up and get way back on too.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
I'm actually stronger than I was before. My body's been
perfectly fine. It's only been my stomach, literally only my
stomach had been working out, doing everything perfectly normal. It
was just hard to hold down food.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
But I heard.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Great, great song there by the way. I heard David
Vessey is going to use some of that delay spray
to make sure he can last long enough through the
first aiding with Blake snelt.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Oh yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, littlely long dating spray whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Get over the Hillside liquor and get that Royal Honey's
right off the field. Forbes magazine came out with some numbers.
MLB posted a record twelve point one billion in revenue
last season, franchise valuations up eight percent. The Yankees have
a value of eight point two billion, the Dodgers six
(07:31):
point eight. That's it.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
The Red Sox, Cubs, and Giants round out the top
five valued franchises in baseball. Even the A's who left
Oakland saw their value increase by fifty percent to one
point eight billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
It goes back to what we've talked about repeatedly, the
idea that the Dodgers are this evil entity that is
ruining baseball. The Yankees valuation at eight point two billion,
and they are the highest grossing team, and yet they
determined that they could not compete financially to retain the
services of Juan Soto. They just couldn't possibly afford a
(08:10):
contract that size and had to see him exit after
helping lead them to a World Series appearance.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
The Dodgers are like a hungry hippo of baseball, and
they're chomping everybody's ball. They're like that guy getting eaten
in Jaws, and the world of baseball is screaming and
paying as the Dodgers eat away at their own body.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
The Lakers spends your money, spend your money.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah, they all make money. The Dodgers, they all make
a lot of money. The Dodgers make money. The Dodgers
absolutely charge a lot of money. And the Dodgers spend
a lot of money on their team. The Lakers are
forty three and twenty eight. They've lost three in a row,
seven in the last ten. We talked to James Garthy
very early. We talked to Worthy. They play the Pacers
(08:58):
coming up at four thirty, watch it on Spectrum Sports
Net and Lebron James, who went on Pat McAfee and
attacked everybody And.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Did you watch any of these score a whole bunch. Yes,
I mean it's like it's one. It reminded me there's
there are people and who knows. Maybe it's because he's
so polished and he's so you know, very Michael Jordan
Kobe Bryan esque in front of the cameras when he
talks with the media, but it just felt like he
was trying really hard to be to work Blue.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
That is the uh, that is the way that I
would put it. It seemed like a really forced like
I can be cool with these cool guys. Yeah, fast,
They're not cool like us, man, They're not like us.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
A lot of those guys they played the game or
did not play the game. It was just they played
a game while they were talented. They I don't think
they ever thought the game. I don't think they were
ever smart. I just think they were bigger and stronger
and maybe faster at the time, and they dominated and
when it was over, it was over. You know, they don't.
(10:04):
That's why I'm able to still play at forty years old.
My mind is just like I can play the game
because I can outthink.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
The guys out there.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
And as my athleticism has went down a notch, not
a lot, but a not you know, as my athleticism
has went down a notch, like I'm able to steal,
bring up other fasts of my game to be able
to steal, you know, do what I need to do
every single night. But the talking heads of our sports
(10:34):
it's a lot.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah, you know, Michael Jordan never thought the game. His
game didn't change at all into his mid to late
thirties when he was still winning NBA championship.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Whatever he's saying, Matt, I very well may be true.
I don't know. I'm not. I have no perspective.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
You feel like Jerry West could think the game. It
feel like he could think the game.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
He could be right, But I don't want to hear
about it. Already hearing him talk about how great he is. Yes,
it is insufferable. He's starting his podcast again with a
new co host, Steve Nash, and they're going to talk
about how great Lebron is and gaslight the world about
his children. Ooh, this ain't about me either. At this point,
(11:19):
I don't really care what's said about me. It's always something.
This is about the impact the negativity is having on
our beautiful game and our fans. I know I speak
for a lot of players and more importantly, a hell
of a lot of great fans that truly love and
celebrate this sport around the world. Lebron, you have no
one to blame but yourself about the way basketball is.
(11:41):
You and Adam Silver can stare in a mirror. Only
one of you who is going to see a reflection
and you know, because he's a vampire. And you have
yourselves to blame for the state of modern basketball because
you're such an a hole. Maybe you are the smartest
player ever. Maybe you're you're brilliant because you've managed your
(12:02):
career and load managed the last few years to make
it this far and gone to Germany and done your
stem cell. Oh yeah, no, Jews, whatever it is, it was,
whatever it is, stop talking about it, Stop talking, Stop
trying to act like what's happening isn't your fault. My god.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
People aren't upset with the NBA because they're out to
get the NBA and trying to preserve what it was
in the nineteen eighties. It's because competition has waned. Players
change teams all the time, they're all best buddies and
go on each other's podcasts, and competition has dropped.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
And they're insufferable, like Lebron on the McAfee. You're so strong, Lebron,
You're so big and strong. Jesus God.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
That's that's the UH I hate to give to to
acknowledge him in perhaps a positive way, but that's the
Bill Ryder approach. I got off food. A lot of
superstars to turn him down, sometimes turned down huge interviews
with important people. Just turn it down if you're gonna
have to sit there and agree with everything he says
and suck up to him and boot lick and not
(13:10):
point out.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Well, they don't like Steven A. So the un is Lebron,
you know. So they're on Lebron's side, right, and so
he took the shots at Steven and then he takes
some shots at their piece. He took some shots at
No Neck too, because they're a Sharania show. I mean,
it's all it's all who's your friends, Matt, and it's
all about cut sports, and that's what's ruined the NBA, And.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Hey take shots at everybody? Why not? Because because it
feels like you're kind of doing the same thing there, right, Lebron, aren't.
Aren't you sort of tearing the game down when you're
tearing up guys that cover the league or support the
league or trying to promote the league, yet you're the
one taking shots at them. Seems like a bit of
a contradiction.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
On a podcast too, feels like a two way street brother,
how about that?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
We got you cut? A little crossfire white. How you
like that? Uh? The Clippers are forty and thirty one.
They're doing well, eight of their last ten fully functional
employee Adams bouncing around the station feeling good. They're in
New York to take on the Knicks. No bigger venue
than that pregame at the bottom of the hour on
AM five seventy.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
LA.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
When is UCLA going to be important enough for us
to pick up these games?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
The women's game, Well, we always talk about how we
want to make sure you know that we acknowledge that
it's a women's game and that the men aren't still
alive that you may you know, didn't miss Tennessee wiping
the floor with them in the second half.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
Yes, sim if they make the Final four, why not
have Josh Lewin go out and call the games?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Right? I don't know, I mean I can tell you why.
Because it's not sold and they want to play the
Dodgers or the Clippers on the eagle beak am eleven
to fifty. That's why.
Speaker 7 (14:48):
So you see a women's basketball Final four or Clippers
regular season game.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
If you want to call Ben Boltch, he's at the
Davenport in Spokane. Give him a call tomorrow night as
CLA has taken on Ole Miss in a sweet sixteen matchup.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Honest question, I mean, I'm just honest. What do you
think would have higher ratings on AM five to seven
e LA Sports the semi finals? So they're in the
final four semifinal game UCLA, not the championship, but the
semi or Clippers v. Nicks.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Can I pick a third option?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Or or I'll go okay, let me give you a
third option. Let's go Dodgers Marlins three o'clock start, Well,
the boys in blue. But my third option was going
to be big head and diet face. Oh an appointment
(15:52):
listening on FS certainly, you know, I don't know i'd listen.
I'm interested in Corey Close. I find her attracted.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Fantastic, but she got away from it a little bit
of this year, and USC without Juju apparently still has
a chance.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I saw a headline that said that, so I can
regurg you to I think they could win it?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Yeah, yes he can. So where Lindsey got leaving that
sharp face? Let's go, come on, it is the Division
two NCAA tournament's going down in Congrats to our friends
cal State Domingus Hills the Toros in the shadow of
the Old Home Depot Center. Matt's old home knocked off
West Liberty last night, eighty six to eighty four in
(16:31):
the Elite Who David Cheatham led the way with twenty
two cal State Domingus Hills. Let's go Torero's Don Cheedle
is on that team. Yes, Hotel Rwanda. He will now
face Dallas Baptist with his two dates tomorrow in the
semi they do their vespers right before and a chance
(16:55):
to go to the Division two championship game this weekend.
We'll be all over this on the Petros and Money Show.
Are we going to ride a quick hits for tomorrow
or are we just going to raw dog.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
The whole thing?
Speaker 7 (17:05):
Raw dog all day?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Let's go raw dog all day, all day, all day.
I believe our dear friend Daniel Jeremiah's daughter is a
cross country athlete at Dallas Baptist. So I'm sure that
Jeremiah Household very excited about that showdown.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Well, Torn I'm sure, I mean, yeah, absolutely, they're Californians
through and through the NFL Competition Committee. Matt. Something that's
dear to your heart.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Is yeah, doing their discussed it in the Three Things Thursday,
the Competition Committee recommending making the dynamic kickoff permanent thanks
to the reduction in injury and the increase in return
and the hope that one of the most exciting plays
in football will continue and continue to see more of
(17:49):
the most exciting plays in football as they want to
move touchbacks all the way after the thirty five from
the thirty to get even more of those balls to
land there between the twenty and the goal line they
can have. Let's just returns.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Let's just make defense illegal.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Not a bad idea. Let's just throw some flags on him.
Get after it, man, Well, don't forget.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Tim Kates just recorded a brand new podcast for the
Concordia Masters in Coaching.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah seventy eight.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
I talked to NFL referee Carl Cheffer's today.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, so you want to talk about flags?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
He ways to go.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
He took a break from reading this huge notebook, he said,
of all the latest rules and things they've been mended
since last year and reminders for twenty twenty five season.
He said, it's a huge notebook that he's got to
go through.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
It's great information on the way out on the Masters
and coaching podcast brought to you Mike Accordia Universe.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
We would tell you to download it, but that's going
to happen automatically.

Roberts said that just with each day, you're feeling stronger
and just better and better.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Oh yeah, I'm perfectly fine, perfectly normal. Yeah, So yeah,
that's that's pretty much it for you.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Is it about just kind of with these at bats,
kind of seeing facing pitching, things like that, Like, what's
just the focus for you right now as you're kind
of looking to get things going for opening day?
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Just to play baseball. I mean it's been I don't
even know how long, how many days it's been, but
just to play baseball and to try and get back
into the rhythm. I mean, you know, I don't have
much time, but it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Where do you feel you're like straight to buy specially
trying to build back up and get way back on too.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
I'm actually stronger than I was before. My body's been
perfectly fine. It's only been my stomach, literally only my
stomach had been working out, doing everything perfectly normal. It
was just hard to hold down food.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
But I heard.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Great, great song there by the way. I heard David
Vessey is going to use some of that delay spray
to make sure he can last long enough through the
first aiding with Blake snelt.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Oh yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, littlely long dating spray whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Get over the Hillside liquor and get that Royal Honey's
right off the field. Forbes magazine came out with some numbers.
MLB posted a record twelve point one billion in revenue
last season, franchise valuations up eight percent. The Yankees have
a value of eight point two billion, the Dodgers six
(07:31):
point eight. That's it.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
The Red Sox, Cubs, and Giants round out the top
five valued franchises in baseball. Even the A's who left
Oakland saw their value increase by fifty percent to one
point eight billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
It goes back to what we've talked about repeatedly, the
idea that the Dodgers are this evil entity that is
ruining baseball. The Yankees valuation at eight point two billion,
and they are the highest grossing team, and yet they
determined that they could not compete financially to retain the
services of Juan Soto. They just couldn't possibly afford a
(08:10):
contract that size and had to see him exit after
helping lead them to a World Series appearance.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
The Dodgers are like a hungry hippo of baseball, and
they're chomping everybody's ball. They're like that guy getting eaten
in Jaws, and the world of baseball is screaming and
paying as the Dodgers eat away at their own body.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
The Lakers spends your money, spend your money.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah, they all make money. The Dodgers, they all make
a lot of money. The Dodgers make money. The Dodgers
absolutely charge a lot of money. And the Dodgers spend
a lot of money on their team. The Lakers are
forty three and twenty eight. They've lost three in a row,
seven in the last ten. We talked to James Garthy
very early. We talked to Worthy. They play the Pacers
(08:58):
coming up at four thirty, watch it on Spectrum Sports
Net and Lebron James, who went on Pat McAfee and
attacked everybody And.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Did you watch any of these score a whole bunch. Yes,
I mean it's like it's one. It reminded me there's
there are people and who knows. Maybe it's because he's
so polished and he's so you know, very Michael Jordan
Kobe Bryan esque in front of the cameras when he
talks with the media, but it just felt like he
was trying really hard to be to work Blue.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
That is the uh, that is the way that I
would put it. It seemed like a really forced like
I can be cool with these cool guys. Yeah, fast,
They're not cool like us, man, They're not like us.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
A lot of those guys they played the game or
did not play the game. It was just they played
a game while they were talented. They I don't think
they ever thought the game. I don't think they were
ever smart. I just think they were bigger and stronger
and maybe faster at the time, and they dominated and
when it was over, it was over. You know, they don't.
(10:04):
That's why I'm able to still play at forty years old.
My mind is just like I can play the game
because I can outthink.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
The guys out there.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
And as my athleticism has went down a notch, not
a lot, but a not you know, as my athleticism
has went down a notch, like I'm able to steal,
bring up other fasts of my game to be able
to steal, you know, do what I need to do
every single night. But the talking heads of our sports
(10:34):
it's a lot.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah, you know, Michael Jordan never thought the game. His
game didn't change at all into his mid to late
thirties when he was still winning NBA championship.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Whatever he's saying, Matt, I very well may be true.
I don't know. I'm not. I have no perspective.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
You feel like Jerry West could think the game. It
feel like he could think the game.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
He could be right, But I don't want to hear
about it. Already hearing him talk about how great he is. Yes,
it is insufferable. He's starting his podcast again with a
new co host, Steve Nash, and they're going to talk
about how great Lebron is and gaslight the world about
his children. Ooh, this ain't about me either. At this point,
(11:19):
I don't really care what's said about me. It's always something.
This is about the impact the negativity is having on
our beautiful game and our fans. I know I speak
for a lot of players and more importantly, a hell
of a lot of great fans that truly love and
celebrate this sport around the world. Lebron, you have no
one to blame but yourself about the way basketball is.
(11:41):
You and Adam Silver can stare in a mirror. Only
one of you who is going to see a reflection
and you know, because he's a vampire. And you have
yourselves to blame for the state of modern basketball because
you're such an a hole. Maybe you are the smartest
player ever. Maybe you're you're brilliant because you've managed your
(12:02):
career and load managed the last few years to make
it this far and gone to Germany and done your
stem cell. Oh yeah, no, Jews, whatever it is, it was,
whatever it is, stop talking about it, Stop talking, Stop
trying to act like what's happening isn't your fault. My god.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
People aren't upset with the NBA because they're out to
get the NBA and trying to preserve what it was
in the nineteen eighties. It's because competition has waned. Players
change teams all the time, they're all best buddies and
go on each other's podcasts, and competition has dropped.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
And they're insufferable, like Lebron on the McAfee. You're so strong, Lebron,
You're so big and strong. Jesus God.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
That's that's the UH I hate to give to to
acknowledge him in perhaps a positive way, but that's the
Bill Ryder approach. I got off food. A lot of
superstars to turn him down, sometimes turned down huge interviews
with important people. Just turn it down if you're gonna
have to sit there and agree with everything he says
and suck up to him and boot lick and not
(13:10):
point out.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Well, they don't like Steven A. So the un is Lebron,
you know. So they're on Lebron's side, right, and so
he took the shots at Steven and then he takes
some shots at their piece. He took some shots at
No Neck too, because they're a Sharania show. I mean,
it's all it's all who's your friends, Matt, and it's
all about cut sports, and that's what's ruined the NBA, And.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Hey take shots at everybody? Why not? Because because it
feels like you're kind of doing the same thing there, right, Lebron, aren't.
Aren't you sort of tearing the game down when you're
tearing up guys that cover the league or support the
league or trying to promote the league, yet you're the
one taking shots at them. Seems like a bit of
a contradiction.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
On a podcast too, feels like a two way street brother,
how about that?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
We got you cut? A little crossfire white. How you
like that? Uh? The Clippers are forty and thirty one.
They're doing well, eight of their last ten fully functional
employee Adams bouncing around the station feeling good. They're in
New York to take on the Knicks. No bigger venue
than that pregame at the bottom of the hour on
AM five seventy.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
LA.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
When is UCLA going to be important enough for us
to pick up these games?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
The women's game, Well, we always talk about how we
want to make sure you know that we acknowledge that
it's a women's game and that the men aren't still
alive that you may you know, didn't miss Tennessee wiping
the floor with them in the second half.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
Yes, sim if they make the Final four, why not
have Josh Lewin go out and call the games?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Right? I don't know, I mean I can tell you why.
Because it's not sold and they want to play the
Dodgers or the Clippers on the eagle beak am eleven
to fifty. That's why.
Speaker 7 (14:48):
So you see a women's basketball Final four or Clippers
regular season game.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
If you want to call Ben Boltch, he's at the
Davenport in Spokane. Give him a call tomorrow night as
CLA has taken on Ole Miss in a sweet sixteen matchup.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Honest question, I mean, I'm just honest. What do you
think would have higher ratings on AM five to seven
e LA Sports the semi finals? So they're in the
final four semifinal game UCLA, not the championship, but the
semi or Clippers v. Nicks.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Can I pick a third option?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Or or I'll go okay, let me give you a
third option. Let's go Dodgers Marlins three o'clock start, Well,
the boys in blue. But my third option was going
to be big head and diet face. Oh an appointment
(15:52):
listening on FS certainly, you know, I don't know i'd listen.
I'm interested in Corey Close. I find her attracted.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Fantastic, but she got away from it a little bit
of this year, and USC without Juju apparently still has
a chance.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I saw a headline that said that, so I can
regurg you to I think they could win it?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Yeah, yes he can. So where Lindsey got leaving that
sharp face? Let's go, come on, it is the Division
two NCAA tournament's going down in Congrats to our friends
cal State Domingus Hills the Toros in the shadow of
the Old Home Depot Center. Matt's old home knocked off
West Liberty last night, eighty six to eighty four in
(16:31):
the Elite Who David Cheatham led the way with twenty
two cal State Domingus Hills. Let's go Torero's Don Cheedle
is on that team. Yes, Hotel Rwanda. He will now
face Dallas Baptist with his two dates tomorrow in the
semi they do their vespers right before and a chance
(16:55):
to go to the Division two championship game this weekend.
We'll be all over this on the Petros and Money Show.
Are we going to ride a quick hits for tomorrow
or are we just going to raw dog.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
The whole thing?
Speaker 7 (17:05):
Raw dog all day?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Let's go raw dog all day, all day, all day.
I believe our dear friend Daniel Jeremiah's daughter is a
cross country athlete at Dallas Baptist. So I'm sure that
Jeremiah Household very excited about that showdown.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Well, Torn I'm sure, I mean, yeah, absolutely, they're Californians
through and through the NFL Competition Committee. Matt. Something that's
dear to your heart.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Is yeah, doing their discussed it in the Three Things Thursday,
the Competition Committee recommending making the dynamic kickoff permanent thanks
to the reduction in injury and the increase in return
and the hope that one of the most exciting plays
in football will continue and continue to see more of
(17:49):
the most exciting plays in football as they want to
move touchbacks all the way after the thirty five from
the thirty to get even more of those balls to
land there between the twenty and the goal line they
can have. Let's just returns.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Let's just make defense illegal.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Not a bad idea. Let's just throw some flags on him.
Get after it, man, Well, don't forget.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Tim Kates just recorded a brand new podcast for the
Concordia Masters in Coaching.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah seventy eight.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
I talked to NFL referee Carl Cheffer's today.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, so you want to talk about flags?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
He ways to go.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
He took a break from reading this huge notebook, he said,
of all the latest rules and things they've been mended
since last year and reminders for twenty twenty five season.
He said, it's a huge notebook that he's got to
go through.
