Speaker 2 (01:59):
Started then, don't eaton a ball?

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (02:03):
And Greg Farmer called up mid September and we were
talking to Buck Martinez, Blue Jays analysts yesterday on scam
and he said he has now made more starts in
the postseason that he did in the big leagues during
the regular season.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
I have a question to him, Yes, sir, how come
major League Baseball when not that you have to follow
the NBA. But how come it's still two three to
two in the World Series, whereas like the NBA Finals
is now two two one one one.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
It's a great question. Don I do not know the
answer to that.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
That's not what I read. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
That's a good question. I feel like it should be
at this point. Imagine the travel though, going LA to
Toronto with Seattle, Like you can't plan for who's playing
who in the World Series. I'm just saying the game
to that importance, a freaking world series with two three two.
If the Dodgers win one of these first two, like
you're in the driver's seat and you're the you're the visitor.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Sounds like you might want to call into your talk
at seven o'clock with David Vasse and ask that question.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
I'm gonna call or calling the scam tomorrow six am
to nine am. We'll take your call, Steve Sacksville. I
don't know, Don, Steve sack I'm the bigger question, though, Don,
is why we have to wait six days between series?
I know the Alcs got over Monday, but how about
we started Wednesday? How about we started, yes, today, Thursday?
Why we wait until Friday to start this?

Speaker 6 (03:25):
TV windows? It all revolves around TV.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
If this thing goes seven games, it's ending November.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah, That's how it was last year. It pushes past Halloween.
That's how it was when the Dodgers were playing the
Red Sox or whatever.

Speaker 6 (03:39):
All right, doesn't Toronto's Dome close?

Speaker 5 (03:42):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (03:42):
Yeah, but they're gonna keep the lid on tonight. But
I'm just thinking, like Game seven tonight, it's gonna be
twenty degrees in November.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, they'll close it, right, they'll close it. Yeah, they
keep it closed because the ball flies. Okay, guys, I
wrote a lot of sell Sorry, it's only the World
Series happening.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Hey, find me some old time day, find me some
old timey music.

Speaker 6 (04:03):
Actually, timides do.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Final our fun fact time, everybody I wrote this, it's yeah, gosh,
you know I take so much care fun fact, fun
fact about Toronto. Since we were talking. I like Toronto
a very a fun city. Done.

Speaker 6 (04:23):
I like it. Okay, I haven't been in a while,
but when I went, I liked it. Did you know
the very first pro hoops game on Earth was played
in Toronto, of all places, between the Toronto Huskies and
of course the New York Knickerbockers at Maple Leaf Gardens

(04:47):
in nineteen forty six on November one. What was the
league at that point? Do we know?

Speaker 3 (04:52):
It wasn't the NBA? They were different leagues. Yeah, it
was the.

Speaker 6 (04:57):
Damn it.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Why do you I asked too many questions on the show.
You know, it's a very great question. Don I appreciate
that listeners want to know this kind of information?

Speaker 6 (05:06):
I got a thirst for knowledge. Guys, Come on, all you.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Have to act the great ballist.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
The BAA. I wanted to say the ABA, but I
knew there was BAA. Yeah, the Basketball Association of America. Well,
how could it be America if it's in Canada because
the team Another great question? How's it the National Basketball
Association now? And they have a Canadian team.

Speaker 6 (05:29):
Because it started as the NBA and then they added
Canadian team.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Well, apparently they had one all along. The Toronto Huskies
seventy nine years ago, almost exactly the Knicks one a
sixty eight to sixty six. Assi Shetman of the Knicks
hit the very first basket mid range of professional basketball history.
But I bet that it was a two handed shot too.

(05:56):
Standing granny shot, Yeah, granny shot. Maybe there was no
spell on that ball? Is just a shot put. The
Knicks are still going today, But the Toronto Huskies only
lasted from forty six to forty seven, which is why
you don't hear much about them. They disbanded. Now. They
wanted to name the Raptors the Huskies when the Raptors
came out in ninety five, but they said, damn it, it

(06:18):
would look too much like the t Wolves. So you
got the dynasty point. I can see that, all right,
Thank you, don It's not what I read. It is
time for quick hits to the MS.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Quick hits, some nigga quick y'all.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Oh yeah, usually it's the fun fact. But today the
quick hits are brought to you by our friends in
the Masters in Coaching program at Concordia University, Irvine. What
are several Olympic athletes, former NFL players, and many of
the best college and high school coaches across the nation
have at common. They're graduates or current students in Concordia

(06:56):
University Irvine's Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration program. Find
out more at CUI dot edu slash coaching. The Dodgers
getting ready for Game one of the World Series. Here's
Game one starter Blake Snell earlier from media day.

Speaker 7 (07:11):
Hey Blake, obviously pitching the World Series before, but going
into this one, how does the night before compare to
the maybe that first time?

Speaker 8 (07:21):
Yeah, I mean for me personally, it's just everything gets
quiet and focused and just start processing what you want
to happen, what you're gonna face, and just start, yeah,
building from that.

Speaker 7 (07:36):
Play your last World series game. Everybody remembers hitting total
dominance until they took you out. How long did it
take you to process that whole night? And how often
do you still think about it? And now that you're
back here.

Speaker 8 (07:48):
Finally, Yeah, I don't think about it really at all anymore.
When it happened, I'd say probably like a week, I
was thinking about it, what have been different? What I
could have done, the ups and downs of just you know, feelings,
and then I ultimately led to if I would have

(08:09):
done more early on in my career to gain his trust,
it would have been a different outcome. I think. So
learned from it and ultimately, ultimately it made me a
better pitcher, just because I understand the games more than
just myself, just the pieces, the parts and how it
all works. So yeah, I mean for about a week,

(08:31):
you know, the ups and downs of could have been
a World Series champed this, but there's still Game seven
and who knows if we win Game six, and just
so much in the air that yeah, I finally.

Speaker 5 (08:42):
Just let it go.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Hello.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
The other big news, obviously we talked about alex Vesia
not going to be there, still remains to be seen.
What will happen next? Here's David Roberts.

Speaker 9 (08:53):
Dave, the Dodgers just announced that Alex Vesia's away from
the team with his wife Kayla. Just what being the
focus on the World Series in baseball, what does this
mean for the bullpen and for the roster and how
you guys can find a way to replace someone just
who's been so valuable for the group right now?

Speaker 10 (09:10):
Yeah, you know what I think, Right now, we're in
the mode of trying to you know, understand the process,
the rules a way that we could sort of, you know,
try to navigate the roster. So I think we have
a little bit of time and they think, you know,

(09:31):
ten o'clock tomorrow or something like that to finalize our roster.
But yeah, we're going through the process of trying to
you know, backfill his spot on the roster.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Just to clarify that, are you anticipating he won't be
available this series or is there a way that maybe
if it's like a bereavement situation or something like that,
he could you get at him later.

Speaker 10 (09:55):
You know what, Honestly, Jack, I think we're just going
day to day with really no expectation.

Speaker 11 (10:00):
With you guys having been here before and have a
lot of veterans players on the team in the Blue Jays,
most of their guys seem kind of, you know, really
excited just to be here. Is there an advantage one
way or the other. I mean, to them, it's all
new and they're very excited about it. To you guys,
it's you know, a big deal, but you've been here before.
Is there an advantage to the experience versus the newness?

Speaker 10 (10:23):
First off, we're very excited to be here as well.
I think that, you know, some part of it. You
could argue that the naivete, the inexperience is a good thing,
you know, but I feel that the ability to manage moments,

(10:43):
your heartbeat is advantageous, and especially in a seven game series.
So I think that we're equipped to play well and
we're facing a very good ball club. But yeah, I
like the experience, but also like the the uh enthusiasm
that you know, those guys.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Have, and we have some of those guys too. The
Clippers are owing one, and they looked terrible last night
in Salt Lake City, but at least their coach was
not arrested. This morning. They host the Suns tomorrow. You
can listen on AM eleven fifty.

Speaker 6 (11:16):
What's interesting is Tylo and Chauncey Billets are best friends.
Not that that means anything. I'm just you said it,
so I thought.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
I met your friend Julie Canzoni the other night. The
Lakers are oh and one off until tomorrow they host
the Minnesota Timberwolves, who presented a problem for Toronto getting
the Huskies logo back because they're blue and white and
the tea Wolves already exist.

Speaker 6 (11:41):
Do you think somebody from the Huskies will throw out
the first pitch tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
If you're twenty years old in nineteen forty six, So
you're saying no, Yeah, this guy fought World War Two.
He played in the Huskies versus Nicks. I mean, he
might be alive, but I don't know. He's getting into
home plate. The Lakers did not suffer and arrest this
morning either, but the Portland Trailblazers did. Chauncey Billups, Miami

(12:07):
heat guard Terry Rozier, and former Cleveland Cavs player and
assistant coach Damon Jones have been arrested as part of
a wide ranging investigation, two of them related to illegal
sports betting and rig poker games backed by the Mafia.
MEA mafia. I'm on a mafia and a total of

(12:29):
thirty four people were arrested a result of a year's
long investigation covering eleven states and involving tens of millions
of dollars. Here is FBI director not tall enough for
the NBA. I mean, I don't care how good of
his point guard this guy was. He got a really
good crossover though, Yeah, I don't think so.

Speaker 12 (12:47):
But here's casptell As you now know, individuals such as
Chauncey Billups, Damon Jones, and Terry Razier were taken into
custody today former current NBA players and coaches.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
We don't know is that.

Speaker 12 (13:01):
This is an illegal gambling operation and sports rigging operation
that spanned the course of years. The FBI let a
coordinative takedown across eleven states to arrest over thirty individuals
today responsible for this case, which is very much ongoing.
Not only did we crack into the fraud that these
perpetrators committed on the grand stage of the NBA, but

(13:25):
we also entered and executed a system of justice against
La Casinoshra to include the Bonano, Gambino, Genevesi and u
Chase crime families. The fraud is mind boggling. It's not
hundreds of dollars, it's not thousands of dollars. It's not
tens of thousands of dollars. It's not even millions of dollars.

(13:46):
We're talking about tens of millions of dollars in fraud
and theft and robbery.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
We've been watching you guys for years.

Speaker 12 (13:53):
A multi year investigation.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
You know, when they say, don't make a federal case
out of it, you know, don't make it real serious.
This seems like a federal case.

Speaker 6 (14:03):
Well, once you go down the road with those New
York crime families, you're in trouble.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yeah, both ways. I've seen all the movies, I've read
all the books. I've been to Spark Steakhouse in New
York City. Terry Rozier is accused of participating in an
illegal sports betting scheme using insider NBA information. As part
of the scheme, gamblers us non public information to bet
on at least seven NBA games between March twenty twenty

(14:29):
three and March twenty twenty four, involving the Hernets, the Magic,
the Blazers, the Lakers, and the Raptors. According to the indictment.

Speaker 6 (14:40):
Can we recap that Terry Roseier signed one hundred million
dollar contract and he's involved in this stuff.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
He's never going to play again in the NBA.

Speaker 6 (14:49):
No, he's not. And I think he has two more
years on his contract. That money's gone too.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Chauncey Phillips was arrested and charged in He'll Never Coach Again,
a separate and dictment alleging wide ranging schemes to rig
underground poker games that were backed by the mafia families.
Authority said the defendants are accused of using technology to
steal millions from victims in the New York area big
whales getting But how.

Speaker 6 (15:17):
Is Chauncey Billups involved in that?

Speaker 5 (15:18):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (15:18):
You want to play with Chauncey Billups? You want to
play poker with Chauncey. They get them to come and
play poker, these rich guys, and they lose it all
because the mafia is fixing the game. The technology used
X ray machines built into tables to read face down cards,
contact lenses had glasses that read pre marked cards, secret

(15:41):
cameras in the trays.

Speaker 6 (15:44):
This may end poker games non casino forever.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Perhaps, And I still don't know about that shoot. Former
eleven year NBA player Damon Jones was arrested because he
allegedly disclosed private injury information about dominant basketball players or
a player to facilitate illegal sports betting. Authorities announced Lemrounium

(16:10):
Lebron Jay was that prominent player. James not accused of
wrongdoing in the indictment. I mean, the guy played with
Lebron and knows all of Lebron's people, so it's not
necessarily calling Lebron and saying are you playing to night
or not.

Speaker 6 (16:25):
So he was a coach at the time in the Lakers, right,
so he knew that he wasn't playing, probably a shoot around,
so in between shoot around in the time the Lakers
announced he wasn't playing.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Yep. UCLA's three and four in college football, two and
two and Big Ten play, but they're undefeated with their
new coaching staff. They tired everybody and then the team
took off. They play Indiana and they're probably gonna get
harpooned like those big poker whales. Unbelieving Indiana being number
two is like the equivalent of Washington State being the

(16:58):
best team in college basket ball and just blowing everybody away.
And no one's ever seen anything like that. I mean,
I know the Arne Kent years were great, but they
weren't number two in the count exactly. Nine AM, Big
Dune Kick nine AM out here from Bloomington. Bruins are
a twenty five and a half point road dog and
we are against them. When the whip quack USC five

(17:21):
and two with a bye, no one will run their
defense over this week. They'll be at Nebraska in two
weeks take on the Huskers. Chargers are taking on the
Vikings as we speak. They can Dodgers win or lose.
You can listen on KFI AM six forty and the
Rams are five and two. They're on a bye and
they're at home versus the eighths in two weeks. So

(17:43):
we'll be right back with more great sports. Doc Don
McLain in the house. We're having a great time. We'll
do Dead and Alive at the end of the hour,
and David Vassy will be on with Dodger Talk pre

favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Road Trip all summer with LA Sports.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
Welcome Back, It's Petrosen Money on AM five seventy LA Sports,
your Home of the Dodgers. We had David vass On
in the four o'clock hour. Don McClain is here in
Game one of the twenty twenty five World Series is
tomorrow here on am FI seventy LA Sports. From the
Field of the worksite Strauss Powers our World Series coverage

(18:46):
on am FI seventy LA Sports, Dodgers, Blue Jays, Smell
on the Mound Game one tomorrow, Matt and I will
start at two. Don McLain's been here all day. We've
had some hot basketball top and some hot gambling talk,
and we do have some textoso's. But did you know
Don that Matt's arch nemesis, Matt undy Smith was on

(19:08):
today earlier too. Yep, his arch nemesis, and it's kind
of a one way street. Derek Carr, former Raider quarterback
and Saints quarterback, was on scam this morning with Steve
Saus and Jim Kats and it was a big impactful
interview about the Dodgers and how awesome they are, and
what a big Dodger fan he is. I mean, Derek
Carry's Fresno state legend that's not chopped liver No. Would

(19:31):
you like to hear some highlights? Yep, just for Matt.
Here you go.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
You see if the Daughters a bunch of guys that
want to be the guy. But the difference is that
they're selfless. At some point. You know, this is the
thing that I get bothered in the media side. Now
now that i'm media, all right, this is the part
that bothers me that if you just talked about Mookie
Bets when he was a Red Sox. Everyone loves Mookie.

(19:55):
He's a great player, plays hard, can play everything. Same
thing with Ready, same thing with Showy, same thing with Taoscar.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
All these guys, the.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
Name them Max. Love these guys, love them, love them,
love them. And now all of a sudden, they're all
together and they're all selfless, and they're all playing and
everyone hates them, and it's like it blows my mind.
I was like, these guys, we should be celebrating this
collection of talent that none of your other owners wanted
to pay for. Let's just celebrate the fact that they're
together and they're showing kids all around the world that
it still takes a team that you could be selfless,

(20:23):
that you can. I mean, Mookie Betts is a Hall
of Famer, He's like, no, I bet second, it's okay.
I'm like what you know, Like that's like that's Freddy,
Freddy's batting forth. Sometimes I'm like, bro that that this
is blowing my mind, you know, like he's done. This
is crazy. But they will all do that for each other.
And I think that that is the reason and that
is what it honestly excites to me so much about

(20:45):
showing my kids this team is like, guys, you're not
going to see a collection of talent like this, hopefully
just with the Dodgers, but you're not going to see
a collection of talent like this, good hall of famers
everywhere that really just care about each other and care
about the ultimate goal. And that's what team sports is
supposed to be fantasy football, and you know, in Twitter

(21:05):
and all these things have changed it to be so
much about each individual. I was like, it's the team
sports and wants him the best of the best play
as a team to be speaking volumes to pop porn
or high school and college coaches everywhere, because these are
the best. This is the best team potentially ever assembled,
and they're doing it for each other and they're celebrating taskers,

(21:25):
throwing seeds that everybody because everyone's at home runs. So uh,
you know, I just I absolutely love it and and
also shot out got out that bohas man that guy. Yeah,
I have to do that because he's one of my
favorite players, obviously for what he stands for, but the
player he is. And in the runs he's saving with
that right arm. I get fired up about the arms. Guys,

(21:46):
I'm sorry he saving runs with that right arm, and
so I get fired up about that stuff.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
How cool was that? He is a die hard Dodgers fan.
Rattling Off has his name tay Oscar Hernandez, and he's
right and he got a lot of reaction on Instagram
when he posted his comments. This is a bunch of
superstars on a team that have put their egos aside
and realized, hey, if we're gonna win a championship, we're
got to sacrifice a little from all of us in
order to win a title.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Yeah right, okay, but how did you put him on
to Spie Matt or did you put him on because
it's Derek Carr.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
I put him on because I saw his tweets and
his comments on his new YouTube video that he's doing
with his brother every week David on Tuesdays. And I
saw him talking about the Dodgers. We saw him at
a Dodger stadium a couple of weeks ago with his family,
and I thought, no better person to talk Dodgers than
one big Dodger fan and Derek Carr, right. I mean
I tried Justin Bateman, but I didn't have Chase and
Babien whenever his name is Justine is the sister?

Speaker 6 (22:39):
Is Paisley still hanging around?

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Paisley's Dave's guy like him?

Speaker 3 (22:43):
And or if you got Paisley, I wouldn't even try,
and he'd do it. Paisley the chance don't Dodgers on
the radio.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
I don't think he do that to Dave. I don't
think he would do it.

Speaker 6 (22:53):
Really.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Him and David, like the guys are laying together, but
they got something special. I mean it's it's at a
different level. I mean, smell Zilla's at a level and
then you go like way above it. That's Brad Paisley,
Country Superstar Brad Paisley. All right, fair enough, good question though,
Don's great, great questions.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
Yeah, they're sometimes they're hard to answer though. Yeah. And
that's the thing that's like some real journal. It's like
sixty minutes.

Speaker 6 (23:18):
When I drive home after the show, I go back
through all my questions. I asked to see how many
times I tripped you guys out.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
And it happens all the time. Yeah, yeah, I feel
like pitfall when you're up here here, hold atari game.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Do you ever just go on your phone to your
memos and just gonna start asking yourself questions for later
like Dawn in the future. What do you think about this?

Speaker 5 (23:39):
Hey?

Speaker 6 (23:40):
Now, because I already know the answer to it?

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Please Tim, come on right? That was a bridge too far?
All right? Scam coming up tomorrow at six am. Well,
wonder who Kate's will get tomorrow with the world series looming.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Sean Casey from the MLB Network will be on tomorrow
at seven o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Past Day's got Kershaw on the next hour. Dude, We're
not what not either?

Speaker 4 (24:00):
Right?

Speaker 5 (24:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (24:01):
Okay, the secret text doesn't line brought to you by
your so called Toyota dealers.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
We make it easy.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
Hey, p I'm an addiction psychologist. If you want to
call it addiction. It does not discriminate against a person's income.
It's the high they're chasing, not the money. It's like
the high we get from winning. You can't get a
high from winning, or even losing, or being sneaky, or
even from cheating. The risk can be the biggest high.

(24:31):
The danger can be the drug. Even nice guys like
Chauncey Billups can get hooked on the secrecy and danger,
or the winning can be enhanced by the feeling of
power over a person the one being duped. The brain
reward system is a powerful thing, Don, It keeps the
species reproducing, It builds skyscrapers and bridges. That same reward

(24:56):
system can be stimulated by illegal activity. Thought, I'd give
my two cents. Robert in corvallis your thoughts, Don.

Speaker 6 (25:08):
It makes sense. I don't know much about addiction psychology and.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Get a real high hanging out with these mobsters. Yeah,
you know, I could see it for sure. That was
an addiction specialist that listens to our show. We heard, Yeah,
we have that kind of reach. So know that another
textoso here on the old secret textosal line, Oh this
is about our Blue Jays song. I don't feel like this,

(25:31):
says Don McClain deserves better than this. Yep, this is
Rogan and Rodney lovel ass cheeks. Now look, Rogan and
Rodney never play the opposing team songs. I feel like
the opposing team song stuff on our show has been fun.
It's gotten us through the postseason. And if you're one
of those superstitious types, the Dodgers haven't lost while we
do it. Is that a fly Ball's a seagull foorst

(25:56):
song I've ever heard coming in from the lake to
catch the game. It's the last game.

Speaker 6 (26:03):
This sounds like a song for like five year olds
learning the game of baseball.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Well that's what the guy said. He said like they
weren't a good team, they were just getting started. And
the marketing guy that told him to write the song,
that was his whole thing, Like the Blue Jays are
just okay, So they wrote Okay, Blue Jay, let's play
ball awful. Come on, look at this ballpark. It's all dark.

Speaker 6 (26:30):
I don't mind the concept pe off you playing the
opposing team song, but some of these songs man.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
All right, fine, he doesn't like it. This guy sent
me a picture of one of those giant skeletons from
Halloween that sucks so bad in the back of his jeep,
looking all scary with its head sticking out, and he wrote,
it's been hard to find creative use for these giant
McClain skeletons. They do seem like the most superfluous decoration

(27:00):
of all time. Like it was cool when like there
was one on the block and like you were like, whoa,
you know, like no one had seen those before. But
now there's like every three or four houses there's a
giant skeleton.

Speaker 6 (27:13):
Like Pete, there's a house in my neighborhood. Now, granted
the houses are a little bigger where I live. There's
one house that has six of those across their front lawn.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
Six of them, I'm not kidding on acting out of scene.
And one what's crazy is is one of them, the
one on the one end, has a pumpkinhead. Yeah, okay,
but then the other five are just regular scales. I'll take,
you know, some creativity. There's one guy that leaves his
up all all Christmas and puts a big ass Santa

(27:43):
hat on it and it's like, okay, you know, but
I just don't understand. It looks like a video game.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Now, Yes, what kind of candy are we handing it
out at the mcclan house? Like full snicker bar?

Speaker 6 (27:54):
I think we've been again. And I hate the way
that all this sounds because whatever trick or treaters don't
come to our house.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Okay, that makes sense. Wait, we don't get a lot
of either.

Speaker 6 (28:06):
Well it's that, but also you know, you're looking for
efficiency in your trigger.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
From the bottom of the cul de sac.

Speaker 6 (28:13):
You're you're spending an hour and you get to like
ten houses in my neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
I gotch.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
It makes sense.

Speaker 6 (28:18):
We always had to go somewhere else for our kids
to triggers because it's all farmland, right, Yeah, what about you, Pete?

Speaker 2 (28:23):
What do you guys hand out at the old Papa
Deekas you know, usually we.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
Put out you know, just like the normal bag you
buy at the market, no full anything, And usually we
go to a party or something, so we leave it
in the front yard and some one kid comes.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
In port please take one.

Speaker 6 (28:38):
No, because they're all a you know they're gonna anyway.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
Yeah, everybody's the worst person in the world.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Well, now you got ring cameras. That's the problem.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Yeah, we can see the one kid or the whole thing.
But whatever, what am I gonna do?

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Hey, chummy, put that back.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
I got other things to do. I'm going to local
parties and things of that nature. Look at this text.
I love this song. I can't get enough.

Speaker 5 (28:59):
No.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Yeah, dude, people, it's an ear word ballpark.

Speaker 6 (29:04):
I didn't realize you guys all dog. I didn't realize
you guys had six year old listeners.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Because we thought our listeners was like MENSA members, like
Massa's older brother. Did you know that about Massa's older brother,
He's like a really smart guy.

Speaker 6 (29:19):
I think I did know that.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Is like, yeah, speaking of David vass yesterday I was
asked to play this for you. Uh, yesterday morning, I
was driving along and Tim Kates. I was listening to
Scam and Tim Kates brings David Vass on David Vasse

(29:41):
going to Toronto today, this and that and there's something
wrong with the digital receiver or something on our phone system.
And Dave literally sounded like a death metal like and
like they just wore ear listen.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
I want to know that David Vassa, David, good morning,
how you doing, buddy?

Speaker 5 (30:00):
Good morning guys, and man, I'm gonna go out on
to Live here and say the seven o'clock hour has
been the best hour of the entire postseason. I was
listening dropping off the kids.

Speaker 6 (30:12):
That that it sounds like when they when they interview
like former gang members.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Or drunk podcast protect you. Yeah, Dave, what did the
Five Families do to you?

Speaker 5 (30:22):
Well? There it was terrible. Hey, good morning guys, and man,
I'm gonna.

Speaker 6 (30:27):
Go out.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
All right, we'll be back. We're having a good time,

an interview Don McLain with the Dead and the Live Guy.

Speaker 1 (30:54):

any kind. It's doing five.

Speaker 6 (31:30):
What do we know about?

Speaker 3 (31:31):
The Clippers are taking on the Suns at some point Fririday,
but not this Friday on eleven fifty because the World
Series is this Friday. On the Petros and Body Show,
please start at two. All right, don you got the
dead guy. Birthday of the day today.

Speaker 6 (31:49):
I do happy would have been one hundredth birthday to
Johnny Carson, who did things a lot differently than the
late night talk show Guys do now, I would say.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
I would agree with that. Yeah, well people watched Johnny Carson. Yeah,
yeah exactly.

Speaker 6 (32:06):
Born and raised in Iowa, joined the Navy during World
War Two, serving as a communications officer. After the war,
went to the University of Nebraska, Oh, Let's go Huskers
with a degree in radio and speech.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
After college's first work was the Morning Show that if
I knew that was going to be my life, I
would have made show morning show. You said did a
morning show in Omaha, which inspired Tim Caates to create
Scam in the Mornings, but only briefly because he moved
to la where he landed a TV job as a
writer on a comedy show. Wasn't long before he was

(32:43):
hosting that show Petros. Johnny Carson moved to New York,
where he was the host of ABC's Who Do You Trust?

Speaker 6 (32:52):
Remember that one?

Speaker 3 (32:53):
No, I don't, but that's where because I knew he
ended up in New York, which is where that That's
a Night Show started.

Speaker 6 (32:58):
Well, you probably didn't, because it was from nineteen fifty
seven to nineteen sixty two.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Well missed it a little before your time missed it
by about fifteen years.

Speaker 6 (33:07):
His success on that show led NBC to invite him
to take over the Tonight Show. Who Do You Take
It Over? From Tim Parr?

Speaker 3 (33:15):
Jack Parr? Jack Parr, Jack Parr It was already a thing.

Speaker 6 (33:20):
He initially declined, but six months later he signed on
to do it. Very quickly, The Tonight Show with Johnny
Carson became one of the most most watched shows on TV.
In seventy two, the Tonight Show moved from New York
City to the NBC studios here in Burbank because of
the studio's proximity to celebrities. Makes sense.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Yeah, right across the street is where they did it.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Right by the way. You know that studio now is
the iHeart Theater, the old Tonight Show.

Speaker 6 (33:47):
Speaking of celebrities, I've been reading a lot lately.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Pe.

Speaker 6 (33:50):
I did not know that Bob Waterfield was married to
Jane Russell. Did you know that?

Speaker 10 (33:55):
No?

Speaker 3 (33:56):
I did know that Grace Kelly was Bet Narick's mistress.
It's pretty good.

Speaker 6 (34:02):
Yeah, I didn't realize Bob Waterfield was that big of
a deal.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
Yeah. Well, you know, back in the day, those hot chicks,
they still like that athlete cock.

Speaker 6 (34:11):
Yeah. In nineteen eighty, Carson stopped hosting five shows per week. Instead,
Monday's featured a guest host, leaving Carson to host the
other four weeknights. At his peak, Johnny Carson was the
highest paid personality on TV, earning about fourteen or four
million a year. It's about nineteen million today. Damn retired

(34:33):
in ninety two at age sixty six. When he stepped
down as host of the Tonight Show, NBC gave the
role of hosts to the show's then current permanent guest
host Jay Leno.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
That's right, friend of the Tim Conway Junior Show. Is
he awarer of the Canadian tuxedo? Really?

Speaker 6 (34:50):
After his retirement, Johnny Carson stayed out of the spotlight.
He was rarely seen or heard from. Married four times,
three sons with the first wife. Was a heavy smoker
and that's what ultimately killed him. Died at age seventy
nine here in LA from emphysema.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Yeah, and also yeah, he liked tennis as well. But
he went on sixty minutes. You mentioned the difference between
Today's Late Night and the ones that we watched when
people actually were into it. And I mean he had
the idea that I don't want to alienate anybody in
my audience, right, And he went on sixty minutes because

(35:28):
some people wanted him to be that way, because you know,
he's probably a Democrat or whatever. And here was his
answer on sixty minutes.

Speaker 4 (35:35):
Well, I have an answer to that.

Speaker 13 (35:36):
I said, no, tell me the last time that Jack
Benny red Skelton, it's any comedian use his show to
do serious issues.

Speaker 5 (35:46):
That's not what I'm there for.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
Can't they see that?

Speaker 3 (35:50):
But you and I do?

Speaker 13 (35:50):
They think that just because you have it tonight's show
that you must deal with serious issues.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
That's a danger.

Speaker 13 (35:57):
It's a real danger. Once you start that, do you
start to forget that self important feeling that's what you
say has great import and you know, strangely enough, you
could use that show as a form, you could sway people,
and I don't think you should.

Speaker 5 (36:10):
As an entertainer.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
It's a danger. Interesting, interesting comedy, laughter, how about it?
Entertain everybody, not just at the country. How about it?

Speaker 2 (36:21):
You know he wanted David Letterman to take over for him.
That's been talking. Yeah, that's a big old thing, all right.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
Well from San Pedro forty years old R and B
singer Miguel. Now, I was tempted to do Dwight Yoakam
for you country types Kate's and don but Miguel, it's
from San Pedro and that was the factor that tipped

(36:46):
the scales.

Speaker 6 (36:47):
Heard a song of Yoakam's on the way over here.
Well there you go, because it's his birthday, right, Miguel
pim and tell it's from San Pedro. And he recently
played well not recently, but he's played.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
The on a grand theater on Sixth Street, down the
street from a dad's restaurant. His mom is a Mexican,
his father is a black man. Went to San Pedro
High School. Let's Go Pirates, became interested in music as
a team. Two thousand, he signed a production deal he
was trying in the early two thousands he signed a

(37:20):
bigger production deal with Jive than RCA, and then on
and on. Mostly I'm excited don that he is from
San Pedro sounds like it does R and B. I
don't know if you might have noticed that funk, hip hop,
rock and electronic music all kind of blended together.

Speaker 5 (37:42):
In what era?

Speaker 3 (37:44):
He you know, still modern? Yeah, he's forty. He sang
in the Disney movie Coco. Put out a Latin album.
Last month, he did a thing with a guy from BTS,
which is the most popular ban of the world Korean
boy band. He said to be into transcendental meditation, which

(38:04):
was also something that David Lynch was really into. He's
married to a model, then divorced, and last month it
was revealed that he had fathered a child with the
Chinese editor of Vogue former editor of Vogue China, bastard child.
So there you go. From Sam pedro Let's go pirates.

(38:28):
They're saying his praises from Gaffy all the way up
to Western, all the way down to Pacific, and all
the numbered streets in between.

Speaker 6 (38:36):
Today probably should have went with Yoakim.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
Miguel.

Speaker 6 (38:41):
Not enough of a resume. That was way too.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
We need wait too showing a four hours show. Check
your local listings and you know, check the iHeartRadio app
