Speaker 2 (02:31):
Fall since the conversation of the goat is occurring right now.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Oh, there's so much doting mat. Did you know?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Tom Brady was drafted by the expos Is a catcher
in the eighteenth round of the nineteen ninety five NFL
Draft and was offered above slot money. He slid because
most people knew he wanted to go to college to
play football, but the expos offered him the monetary equivalent
of a second round pick despite selecting him in the
(03:05):
eighteenth row.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I knew about his baseball prowess. Is it because heating catcher?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
His bff was on the USC baseball team in those days.
He was a first baseman, a very big, thick sausage
like Italian American by the name of Bill Peevee Pev
And you know the guys on the team and be like,
oh Bill and Bill Peevee would be visited by his
bff from Sarah High who was playing football at Michigan.
(03:32):
Tom Brady in my time at USC the late nineties,
after that ninety five draft. And let me tell you
something about Tom Brady. He's still a huge door just
like he was. Yeah, you've been around him, beam. Oh,
Bill was a president door.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
He's six foot six, big guy, six foot six catcher,
but back.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Then he was six foot six with a concave chess.
That's right.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
That's why the concave chess because play catcher and he
had a real week They didn't have a lot of
money there at Sarah High and they had a real
weak chest protector.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
And that's why you had the concake catch me, you know,
just absorbed the pitch right there in the concave chests.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I believe you used the word soup earlier in the day.
So there you go, a great, great story about Tom Brady,
you know, Matt, speaking of goats, I did leave out
in the how is Your Weekend? I went to go
buy some liquor at the Tipsy Fox over the weekend
and on the side of the hill there I think
it's actually what you.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I think it's Torrents. They had all the goats on
the hill.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Oh yeah, goats, And we stopped to admire the goats,
you know, being Greek Americas.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
You find any of them attracted only a couple. You know,
that's not cool, man. You know, I've been to therapy.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
All right, it's time for quick hits. Everybody quick hate.
Oh yeah, well, okay, Matt. The Dodgers are forty three
and twenty nine. We're not even talking about the fact
(04:57):
that they took two or three from the Giants on
and they're three games up on the Padres and they
won that series two. We haven't even talked about any
of that would be the reason we haven't talked about
it is for another very important reason, and that's.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Because show Tommy's bigging his pitching debut is a Dodger tonight.
Oh indeed, it calls for that sort of fanfare as well.
I believe, uh that whole burden.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, knowledge that we will be giving away one more
pair of tickets between now and the end of the show.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
No way, for real.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
For tomorrow's Dodgers Padres game. The Angels have lost three
in a row. They are in New York right now
taking on the Yankees. We do not have an update
on that because we're watching the U C L A
LSU game on our.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
TV and just Cla has falling now for they're falling down.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
It's only the bottom of the third, but it's four
to three LSU and schemes is they're watching his alma
mater with that hotty Livy Dune and things look bad
for our friend John Savage. They're up against these swaggy
ass SEC idiots and I hate him.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
They scored three on the top of the first and
we were feeling really good about it, and then an
odd infield alignment allowed a absolute double play ball.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
God put another one on us.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Oh god, it's five to three. We shouldn't watch turn away,
turn away your face.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Well, if they lose this one, they'll have to face
Arkansas and let's se dude's first name, Garth garth Wood.
Girth Wood threw a no hitter today, only the third
time in the World Series College World Series history of
the would gauge Wood?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Yeah, he called him the girth Masters. Got some girth,
that's what he's got going. Oh is it in here?
We're at Living Kate's. We got the TV on, we're
watching it live.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
LSU up five to three now with all their swag
and their EyeBlack and their stupid looking mustache.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
The MLB announced the first results of the All Star.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Game fan voting.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Leading vote getters overall Yankee Aaron Judge, cah that makes sense,
followed by showhy O'tani. In the NL, the Dodgers have
Sho Hao Tani, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith only because Cloud
voted a fifty thousand times.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Like the meme of the people hitting that a lot machine, Well,
I believe she's been proven to be correct about Will Smith,
TiO Scarnandez.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
You know what, I would say, that's meritocracy. That's not
a fan based stuff in the ballot. Those those four
dudes are All Stars.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
All leaders at their positions. In the American League. The
old fishhead Mike Trout is one of the top three outfielders.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Is he having an All Star campaign? He was doing? Okay,
I don't know any hers he was. He's back.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
He's back in the New York mood and on shortstop.
In the American League. Jack Wilson leads all players the
rookie one thousand Oaks High School who is an early
front runner for AL Rookie of the Year. I don't
know if you know about this map, but we've been
watching this UCLA game, and it looks like, let's just
get the Oh they are up already.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Oh no, they are already up five to three in
the bottom of the third. Uh two on a two
to one count. As we mentioned, UCLA had scored three
in the top of the first, and we felt pretty
damn good and.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
We were strutting. They trying to party, strutting around the
stu stupid hair, nice hair.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Oh yeah, you could say that just about all their players.
And this is a portly gentleman. These guys are you playing?
Maybe be playing Tuesday night? Sophome fatter than Max Mounsey.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Is Max Mounsey a portly gentleman?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
No, he's certainly not morbidly obese as people try to say.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
We mentioned Gage would no hitter first one since nineteen
sixty in the College World Series, the third ever, and
nineteen strikeouts the most in a single College World Series game,
as well as a career high.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Good news.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Can't pitch tomorrow if UCLA wins this game. Yeah, so
they will paye Arkansas without Gage would if.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
You won't have they got him?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Hey, Mini, me about that Gage Wood.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
The girth Master's not going to pitch tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
No, the new PAC twelve is close to adding a
new team in twenty twenty six, and that team is none.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Other than Texas State. They got money.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
The conference needs to make a decision by July first,
before the exit fee from the Sun from the Mountain
the Sun Belt Conference for them doubles to ten million
dollars something.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
She's safe Texas State. Oh now they're looking at it.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I'm sorry, man, you know, could she hang on to
the threat of the metapart sit. I'm out here, I'm
out here all by myself talking about Texas State.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Texas State, let's go. That's all you have to add.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
What did Texas State used to be? They haven't always
been Texas State? Right, didn't they have a different name?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Back then?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
They were a school for special need no continuations the
mother scratch. All you have to do is would do
work on a workbook because you could smoke at Texas State.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Now they have money, are there?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Texas State is a lot like when Flounder and the
Fat Guy got into the fraternities.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
They had money. Animal, Yeah, we need the dudes, so
Texas State.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Congratulations to the PAC twelve looking to add Texas State.
Matt there's still the NBA Finals going on. I bet
you're pretty geeked about that.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I know, y'are. Did I miss something like?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
How does the NBA I want to run an NBA
Finals game on Sunday? Instead they give these they got
a rest man.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Okay, should we run the game on Sunday on Father's Day?
Speaker 4 (10:31):
But does that make sense? Maybe at five at night
when the US opens over, we run a little NBA
Finals game. Now let's push it to Monday. Oh, they
didn't want to have these guys three days off. They
didn't want to step to the bet award. No, no way,
that was last week.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Was last week. So I don't know, Matt, I don't
know why. I don't know why they wouldn't do it. Dumb.
It seems kind of stupid. And now they got to
deal with Otani pitching tonight.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, idiot's so stupid. Oh dumb, we're not gonna walks
that in here. Uh, Angel Reese, Matt has turned the
trolls into potential profit. The Chicago sky Forward has sought
to trademark the phrase.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Me bounds, which we regularly well we don't, but the
people that take on Angel Reese, she.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
They originally coined it to mock Reese and her rebounding
and missing and then getting the shot back again, missing
her own shots and rebound and rebound and rebound and rebound,
much like I played at Christ Lutheran School, home of
the Chargers, back in the late eighties when I.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Missed that shot. Yes, but did I get my own rebound?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Everybody scared of me because I'll kick you in the
balls when I jump up. I split my legs open,
and I'm very violent. Uh So, anyway, she has happily
co opted it, and she's really getting one over on
the haters.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Matt, what do you think of that?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Congratulations? I suppose people are going to buy shirts that
say me bounds because they want to. I mean, it
would mate. She had a triple double this weekend. She did,
but Caitlin Clark and I did want those highlights.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Was firing like Rock and Jock seven point like firing them.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Up nine points and seventeen second on the undefeated New
York Liberty.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
She took the arm off of the Statue of Liberty
and beat her about the head and shoulders with it,
knocked her crown off, she did, And that's pretty and.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
That's literally, by the way, not figuratively. It was an
impressive sight. Love.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I watched highlights on YouTube. Can't say I watch it live.
And I did watch the highlights on you stons by
mister Beast.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And Matt speaking of a real beast. Joey chestnutt oh yeah,
he's back. Competitive eating legend announced today that he's returning
to Nathan's famous hot dog eating contest after a one
year hiatus. And remember, nobody watched last year for the
Nortye live event because Chestnut was not there because he
(12:49):
was eating the fake hot dogs. It's like the WNBA
without Caitlin Clark. Nobody watching.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Ratings are down eighty percent. Chestnuts back.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Sixteen time champion Tim Kates still has a working number

Speaker 3 (13:01):

Speaker 2 (13:02):

Oh the Eater that's I need.

Speaker 1 (13:11):

changed his phone number. I don't have that anymore. Do
we have Sonya the black widow email email.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
The crazy thing about eater X is his brother is
speed racer and he's always saving him.
Speaker 3 (13:31):

your head? All right? Uh?
Speaker 1 (13:36):

We we asked about We asked for a great Japanese
reporter from Japan who knows about the impact culturally of
shoe Ao Tani abroad and tonight is a huge night,
not just for all of us, but a lot for Japan.
So we asked for a Japanese reporter and they sent
us not sukoh e k. Yes, not Suko a great reporter.
(15:27):
We said, Tokyo TV, but it's not. It's Tokyo Sports,

But she has this.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Long, a long list of credits in television and movies
and reporting.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
And we did ask the Dodger.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
We asked Dodger PR who's a big, big franchise, and
we said, who's the best Japanese reporter who's always around
that we could talk to, That he that he understands
our show and he knows who we would like to
talk to, And he said not Suko ohk from Tokyo

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Matsuko, Welcome to the show. Thank you so much for
being here.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Have you ever done a radio interview like this before.
We're like a wacky.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Sports talk round and you guys have a great spot. Yes,
you can see that.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
We are the dogs.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yes, we're the Dodger radio station, so you know we
we we broadcast the Dodger games on the radio here
in Los Angeles. But overall, do they have this kind
of show in Japan? Like two guys like talking sports,
like acting stupid anything like playing sounds.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Like maybe not and we need more right right?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, absolutely, We're We're up for you know, branching out,
you know, crossing.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
A little syndication. We appreciate that kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Speak Japanese.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And as far as my little brother does talk to tomorrow, Wow,
have it figured out? As far as the pantheon or
what's important to people when it comes to Shootani and
all the different things he's accomplished.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
In his career, how big is tonight?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You've been covering this guy for a long time through
the spectrum of.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Japan tremendous, like huge ever since. So it was like
around two o'clock is yesterday that you know, the news
broke that he's pitching, and the news, the TV's, all
the channels are just like about show Hao Tan and
pitching today. So it is really big the entire country.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yes, it's It's caught us by surprise a little bit
because he's been here, you know, for six years prior
to playing for the Dodgers, and there's nothing like this.
When he was with the Angels, it never felt like this.
But you've covered him his entire career over here, so
is that a blind spot for us? Did it feel
like it was a big deal for him in Japan
everything he did with the Angels versus kind of what
(17:40):
it felt like here.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
I mean, it has been a big deal, but it
definitely has increased since he got to the Dodgers, and
you know, with him having the second Tommy John surgery,
like the anticipation of like, you know, when is he
gonna pitch just grew so much. Yeah, I think it's
nothing like it before.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Is there anything like if if Otani is here in
your coverage, who's next? And how far is that gap? Like,
what's the gap, like in terms of interest.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
I'm not gonna say who, okay, but show Hayes like
maybe over the roof, I've got your stadium, and then
in the basement I want to say basement. But it
is a big difference. It's just a different in caliber,
Like it's just a different person, Like it's just show
Haltani and then it's a different news. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
So when you travel and you're and you're covering Otani
and you're in different cities around and you see people
show up for the Dodgers and then a whole different
group of people show up, you know for Otani. How
much Japanese media is usually with show Haltani. If you're
like the one that's always here, when you see a
whole bunch like tonight, you're like, scary here, I've been
(18:55):
here the whole time.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Is there any kind of territorialism like that?
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Well, well, it's a it's a little different when you
can can think about Japanese media because a lot of
them actually are not based here. So some of them
just like travel three months at a time, and it
is a lot of effort, you know, Like so I
feel like it's more like the grind that we understand
(19:20):
versus the territorial part.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Because we all hate each other.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
The American media, you know, everybody wants each other like
very upset.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
She's got a lot of jobs so far after each
other's next.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
We're not as nice as people are in Japan, right,
not as polite. Do you find that the American media
is nice or not or impolite?
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Well, I think there is a Riberry situation too. I
heard that somebody may have known about show hate pitching
but they kept it.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Is that right in Japan? Uh?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
No?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Someone here? Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I mean?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
And they respected the announcement.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
They did?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
They did.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Natsuko iley K is with us.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
She works for the Tokyo Sport Tokyo and Toko Sports
Tokyo Sports.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
There we go sports covering Shoyo Tani. What about in
terms of it comes about torchstep.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Every day, the Dodgers, the Dodgers and what his arrival
has done for their popularity internationally in Japan and what
were they before? Were they on the radar lology because
obviously we know the history with the do Noomo and
some of the other players that have played here, but
sort of what that's like now in terms of the
Dodgers as.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
A brand, well, it's it has been very famous and big,
but it's huge, like you know, the the good the
sales in Japan when the Toko series happened. I saw it.
It was a huge line of people at four am,
like waiting to buy some stuff, just stuff, just yeah sure,
(20:49):
yeah t shirt hands and a lot of them are
sold out and there were one hundred and forty cashiers
in one.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Sufficient yeah or here we got six and there's a
long love things come around for the World Series.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
It's a real free for all. So who's the most
popular team in Japan right now?
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Probably the Doers.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
It is the most popular team.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Yeah, it's hard not to walk to Dozers right now.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Like bigger than any team that plays in Japan. Probably, Yes,
how about that?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Very interesting to talk to a reporter from a different
country with a different perspective. English second ladge is going
to say that it's incredible, just speaks beautifully and eloquently.
Not since we talked to Yasiel Puig. He did a
good job, he does. He did a really good job.
So other other than Otani, when you travel the country
(21:44):
and watch Major League Baseball in the United States. Who
else do you like to see? Who else do people
in Japan get excited about? Not a Japanese player.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Just just a Japanese player. And that's probably the second famous, well,
the first fame is after show Hayes, probably Aaron.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Judge, New York Yankee.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Yeah, the Yankees people.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
That's a hard one about Lars Nutbar.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Oh yeah, yes, we kind of considered Japanese.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
He's half Japanese. Yes, but his name is Lars Neutbar. Yes, yeah,
that one. I didn't even know he was half Japanese.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
That one jumped at me and and and blew me
out when I figured that he.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Has a couple of commercials in Japan too.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Yeah, oh good cash it.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
And now you're you started a couple of commercials to

It's the Yeah, we're three.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Fall since the conversation of the goat is occurring right now.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Oh, there's so much doting mat. Did you know?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Tom Brady was drafted by the expos Is a catcher
in the eighteenth round of the nineteen ninety five NFL
Draft and was offered above slot money. He slid because
most people knew he wanted to go to college to
play football, but the expos offered him the monetary equivalent
of a second round pick despite selecting him in the
(03:05):
eighteenth row.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I knew about his baseball prowess. Is it because heating catcher?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
His bff was on the USC baseball team in those days.
He was a first baseman, a very big, thick sausage
like Italian American by the name of Bill Peevee Pev
And you know the guys on the team and be like,
oh Bill and Bill Peevee would be visited by his
bff from Sarah High who was playing football at Michigan.
(03:32):
Tom Brady in my time at USC the late nineties,
after that ninety five draft. And let me tell you
something about Tom Brady. He's still a huge door just
like he was. Yeah, you've been around him, beam. Oh,
Bill was a president door.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
He's six foot six, big guy, six foot six catcher,
but back.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Then he was six foot six with a concave chess.
That's right.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
That's why the concave chess because play catcher and he
had a real week They didn't have a lot of
money there at Sarah High and they had a real
weak chest protector.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
And that's why you had the concake catch me, you know,
just absorbed the pitch right there in the concave chests.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I believe you used the word soup earlier in the day.
So there you go, a great, great story about Tom Brady,
you know, Matt, speaking of goats, I did leave out
in the how is Your Weekend? I went to go
buy some liquor at the Tipsy Fox over the weekend
and on the side of the hill there I think
it's actually what you.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I think it's Torrents. They had all the goats on
the hill.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Oh yeah, goats, And we stopped to admire the goats,
you know, being Greek Americas.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
You find any of them attracted only a couple. You know,
that's not cool, man. You know, I've been to therapy.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
All right, it's time for quick hits. Everybody quick hate.
Oh yeah, well, okay, Matt. The Dodgers are forty three
and twenty nine. We're not even talking about the fact
(04:57):
that they took two or three from the Giants on
and they're three games up on the Padres and they
won that series two. We haven't even talked about any
of that would be the reason we haven't talked about
it is for another very important reason, and that's.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Because show Tommy's bigging his pitching debut is a Dodger tonight.
Oh indeed, it calls for that sort of fanfare as well.
I believe, uh that whole burden.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, knowledge that we will be giving away one more
pair of tickets between now and the end of the show.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
No way, for real.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
For tomorrow's Dodgers Padres game. The Angels have lost three
in a row. They are in New York right now
taking on the Yankees. We do not have an update
on that because we're watching the U C L A
LSU game on our.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
TV and just Cla has falling now for they're falling down.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
It's only the bottom of the third, but it's four
to three LSU and schemes is they're watching his alma
mater with that hotty Livy Dune and things look bad
for our friend John Savage. They're up against these swaggy
ass SEC idiots and I hate him.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
They scored three on the top of the first and
we were feeling really good about it, and then an
odd infield alignment allowed a absolute double play ball.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
God put another one on us.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Oh god, it's five to three. We shouldn't watch turn away,
turn away your face.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Well, if they lose this one, they'll have to face
Arkansas and let's se dude's first name, Garth garth Wood.
Girth Wood threw a no hitter today, only the third
time in the World Series College World Series history of
the would gauge Wood?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Yeah, he called him the girth Masters. Got some girth,
that's what he's got going. Oh is it in here?
We're at Living Kate's. We got the TV on, we're
watching it live.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
LSU up five to three now with all their swag
and their EyeBlack and their stupid looking mustache.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
The MLB announced the first results of the All Star.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Game fan voting.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Leading vote getters overall Yankee Aaron Judge, cah that makes sense,
followed by showhy O'tani. In the NL, the Dodgers have
Sho Hao Tani, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith only because Cloud
voted a fifty thousand times.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Like the meme of the people hitting that a lot machine, Well,
I believe she's been proven to be correct about Will Smith,
TiO Scarnandez.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
You know what, I would say, that's meritocracy. That's not
a fan based stuff in the ballot. Those those four
dudes are All Stars.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
All leaders at their positions. In the American League. The
old fishhead Mike Trout is one of the top three outfielders.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Is he having an All Star campaign? He was doing? Okay,
I don't know any hers he was. He's back.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
He's back in the New York mood and on shortstop.
In the American League. Jack Wilson leads all players the
rookie one thousand Oaks High School who is an early
front runner for AL Rookie of the Year. I don't
know if you know about this map, but we've been
watching this UCLA game, and it looks like, let's just
get the Oh they are up already.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Oh no, they are already up five to three in
the bottom of the third. Uh two on a two
to one count. As we mentioned, UCLA had scored three
in the top of the first, and we felt pretty
damn good and.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
We were strutting. They trying to party, strutting around the
stu stupid hair, nice hair.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Oh yeah, you could say that just about all their players.
And this is a portly gentleman. These guys are you playing?
Maybe be playing Tuesday night? Sophome fatter than Max Mounsey.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Is Max Mounsey a portly gentleman?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
No, he's certainly not morbidly obese as people try to say.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
We mentioned Gage would no hitter first one since nineteen
sixty in the College World Series, the third ever, and
nineteen strikeouts the most in a single College World Series game,
as well as a career high.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Good news.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Can't pitch tomorrow if UCLA wins this game. Yeah, so
they will paye Arkansas without Gage would if.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
You won't have they got him?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Hey, Mini, me about that Gage Wood.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
The girth Master's not going to pitch tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
No, the new PAC twelve is close to adding a
new team in twenty twenty six, and that team is none.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Other than Texas State. They got money.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
The conference needs to make a decision by July first,
before the exit fee from the Sun from the Mountain
the Sun Belt Conference for them doubles to ten million
dollars something.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
She's safe Texas State. Oh now they're looking at it.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I'm sorry, man, you know, could she hang on to
the threat of the metapart sit. I'm out here, I'm
out here all by myself talking about Texas State.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Texas State, let's go. That's all you have to add.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
What did Texas State used to be? They haven't always
been Texas State? Right, didn't they have a different name?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Back then?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
They were a school for special need no continuations the
mother scratch. All you have to do is would do
work on a workbook because you could smoke at Texas State.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Now they have money, are there?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Texas State is a lot like when Flounder and the
Fat Guy got into the fraternities.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
They had money. Animal, Yeah, we need the dudes, so
Texas State.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Congratulations to the PAC twelve looking to add Texas State.
Matt there's still the NBA Finals going on. I bet
you're pretty geeked about that.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I know, y'are. Did I miss something like?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
How does the NBA I want to run an NBA
Finals game on Sunday? Instead they give these they got
a rest man.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Okay, should we run the game on Sunday on Father's Day?
Speaker 4 (10:31):
But does that make sense? Maybe at five at night
when the US opens over, we run a little NBA
Finals game. Now let's push it to Monday. Oh, they
didn't want to have these guys three days off. They
didn't want to step to the bet award. No, no way,
that was last week.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Was last week. So I don't know, Matt, I don't
know why. I don't know why they wouldn't do it. Dumb.
It seems kind of stupid. And now they got to
deal with Otani pitching tonight.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, idiot's so stupid. Oh dumb, we're not gonna walks
that in here. Uh, Angel Reese, Matt has turned the
trolls into potential profit. The Chicago sky Forward has sought
to trademark the phrase.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Me bounds, which we regularly well we don't, but the
people that take on Angel Reese, she.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
They originally coined it to mock Reese and her rebounding
and missing and then getting the shot back again, missing
her own shots and rebound and rebound and rebound and rebound,
much like I played at Christ Lutheran School, home of
the Chargers, back in the late eighties when I.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Missed that shot. Yes, but did I get my own rebound?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Everybody scared of me because I'll kick you in the
balls when I jump up. I split my legs open,
and I'm very violent. Uh So, anyway, she has happily
co opted it, and she's really getting one over on
the haters.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Matt, what do you think of that?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Congratulations? I suppose people are going to buy shirts that
say me bounds because they want to. I mean, it
would mate. She had a triple double this weekend. She did,
but Caitlin Clark and I did want those highlights.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Was firing like Rock and Jock seven point like firing them.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Up nine points and seventeen second on the undefeated New
York Liberty.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
She took the arm off of the Statue of Liberty
and beat her about the head and shoulders with it,
knocked her crown off, she did, And that's pretty and.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
That's literally, by the way, not figuratively. It was an
impressive sight. Love.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I watched highlights on YouTube. Can't say I watch it live.
And I did watch the highlights on you stons by
mister Beast.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And Matt speaking of a real beast. Joey chestnutt oh yeah,
he's back. Competitive eating legend announced today that he's returning
to Nathan's famous hot dog eating contest after a one
year hiatus. And remember, nobody watched last year for the
Nortye live event because Chestnut was not there because he
(12:49):
was eating the fake hot dogs. It's like the WNBA
without Caitlin Clark. Nobody watching.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Ratings are down eighty percent. Chestnuts back.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Sixteen time champion Tim Kates still has a working number
are on him?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I believe Tim.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
We we asked about We asked for a great Japanese
reporter from Japan who knows about the impact culturally of
shoe Ao Tani abroad and tonight is a huge night,
not just for all of us, but a lot for Japan.
So we asked for a Japanese reporter and they sent
us not sukoh e k. Yes, not Suko a great reporter.
(15:27):
We said, Tokyo TV, but it's not. It's Tokyo Sports,
Tokyo Sports News.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
But she has this.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Long, a long list of credits in television and movies
and reporting.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
And we did ask the Dodger.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
We asked Dodger PR who's a big, big franchise, and
we said, who's the best Japanese reporter who's always around
that we could talk to, That he that he understands
our show and he knows who we would like to
talk to, And he said not Suko ohk from Tokyo
Sports Sports on Southern California Toyota dealer celebrity online Toyota
(16:04):
also a Japanese company.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Matsuko, Welcome to the show. Thank you so much for
being here.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Have you ever done a radio interview like this before.
We're like a wacky.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Sports talk round and you guys have a great spot. Yes,
you can see that.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
We are the dogs.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yes, we're the Dodger radio station, so you know we
we we broadcast the Dodger games on the radio here
in Los Angeles. But overall, do they have this kind
of show in Japan? Like two guys like talking sports,
like acting stupid anything like playing sounds.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Like maybe not and we need more right right?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, absolutely, We're We're up for you know, branching out,
you know, crossing.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
A little syndication. We appreciate that kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Speak Japanese.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And as far as my little brother does talk to tomorrow, Wow,
have it figured out? As far as the pantheon or
what's important to people when it comes to Shootani and
all the different things he's accomplished.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
In his career, how big is tonight?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You've been covering this guy for a long time through
the spectrum of.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Japan tremendous, like huge ever since. So it was like
around two o'clock is yesterday that you know, the news
broke that he's pitching, and the news, the TV's, all
the channels are just like about show Hao Tan and
pitching today. So it is really big the entire country.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yes, it's It's caught us by surprise a little bit
because he's been here, you know, for six years prior
to playing for the Dodgers, and there's nothing like this.
When he was with the Angels, it never felt like this.
But you've covered him his entire career over here, so
is that a blind spot for us? Did it feel
like it was a big deal for him in Japan
everything he did with the Angels versus kind of what
(17:40):
it felt like here.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
I mean, it has been a big deal, but it
definitely has increased since he got to the Dodgers, and
you know, with him having the second Tommy John surgery,
like the anticipation of like, you know, when is he
gonna pitch just grew so much. Yeah, I think it's
nothing like it before.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Is there anything like if if Otani is here in
your coverage, who's next? And how far is that gap? Like,
what's the gap, like in terms of interest.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
I'm not gonna say who, okay, but show Hayes like
maybe over the roof, I've got your stadium, and then
in the basement I want to say basement. But it
is a big difference. It's just a different in caliber,
Like it's just a different person, Like it's just show
Haltani and then it's a different news. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
So when you travel and you're and you're covering Otani
and you're in different cities around and you see people
show up for the Dodgers and then a whole different
group of people show up, you know for Otani. How
much Japanese media is usually with show Haltani. If you're
like the one that's always here, when you see a
whole bunch like tonight, you're like, scary here, I've been
(18:55):
here the whole time.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Is there any kind of territorialism like that?
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Well, well, it's a it's a little different when you
can can think about Japanese media because a lot of
them actually are not based here. So some of them
just like travel three months at a time, and it
is a lot of effort, you know, Like so I
feel like it's more like the grind that we understand
(19:20):
versus the territorial part.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Because we all hate each other.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
The American media, you know, everybody wants each other like
very upset.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
She's got a lot of jobs so far after each
other's next.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
We're not as nice as people are in Japan, right,
not as polite. Do you find that the American media
is nice or not or impolite?
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Well, I think there is a Riberry situation too. I
heard that somebody may have known about show hate pitching
but they kept it.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Is that right in Japan? Uh?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
No?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Someone here? Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I mean?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
And they respected the announcement.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
They did?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
They did.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Natsuko iley K is with us.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
She works for the Tokyo Sport Tokyo and Toko Sports
Tokyo Sports.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
There we go sports covering Shoyo Tani. What about in
terms of it comes about torchstep.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Every day, the Dodgers, the Dodgers and what his arrival
has done for their popularity internationally in Japan and what
were they before? Were they on the radar lology because
obviously we know the history with the do Noomo and
some of the other players that have played here, but
sort of what that's like now in terms of the
Dodgers as.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
A brand, well, it's it has been very famous and big,
but it's huge, like you know, the the good the
sales in Japan when the Toko series happened. I saw it.
It was a huge line of people at four am,
like waiting to buy some stuff, just stuff, just yeah sure,
(20:49):
yeah t shirt hands and a lot of them are
sold out and there were one hundred and forty cashiers
in one.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Sufficient yeah or here we got six and there's a
long love things come around for the World Series.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
It's a real free for all. So who's the most
popular team in Japan right now?
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Probably the Doers.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
It is the most popular team.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Yeah, it's hard not to walk to Dozers right now.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Like bigger than any team that plays in Japan. Probably, Yes,
how about that?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Very interesting to talk to a reporter from a different
country with a different perspective. English second ladge is going
to say that it's incredible, just speaks beautifully and eloquently.
Not since we talked to Yasiel Puig. He did a
good job, he does. He did a really good job.
So other other than Otani, when you travel the country
(21:44):
and watch Major League Baseball in the United States. Who
else do you like to see? Who else do people
in Japan get excited about? Not a Japanese player.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Just just a Japanese player. And that's probably the second famous, well,
the first fame is after show Hayes, probably Aaron.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Judge, New York Yankee.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Yeah, the Yankees people.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
That's a hard one about Lars Nutbar.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Oh yeah, yes, we kind of considered Japanese.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
He's half Japanese. Yes, but his name is Lars Neutbar. Yes, yeah,
that one. I didn't even know he was half Japanese.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
That one jumped at me and and and blew me
out when I figured that he.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Has a couple of commercials in Japan too.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Yeah, oh good cash it.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
And now you're you started a couple of commercials to
write some TV, some film.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
A little bit. We know we love that. No, no,
we love your acting career.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Unless you're gonna like promote me to get me in
jug everything you want?
Speaker 2 (22:42):
What do you need? We're on AM radio. We pull
streams around here. Not Suko oh e k is our guest.
She works at Tokyo Sports. So what will you do tonight?
As far as your job tonight?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
How many? I mean you're obviously doing an interview with us.
This takes time. This is one thing.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
We'll take a picture maybe, But after this, what are
you gonna do tonight? And how does it mix with
the Tokyo time and when that comes out in Tokyo?
Speaker 5 (23:07):
Right, So Tokyo Sports is the evening news, and I
had my first deadlight at four o'clock. So I've already
did a whole bunch of interviews asking how excited people
are the players too. It's probably gonna be you know,
how excited exciting was it? The question is going to
be how it was you know watching show? Hey O Tani,
(23:28):
and maybe talk to the fans a little bit too.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
What is uh, what is the greatest film in the
history of Japanese cinema?
Speaker 5 (23:35):
That's too much of a tricky question.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I can't answer, Cashi, look at this. See we're serious
about this. Son a team? Who shn a team?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
That's one of the movies now from beat the Keshi Team,
you probably would say it differently.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I'm gonna pull it.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Out, ye come on, give me give us a couple
not the greatest, but some really good ones.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Your faceh Seventh Samurai yeah, all right, big one. I
have a new one coming up. It's a short film
called Corn.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
What's it called? I don't think I say that. Yeah,
I'll take your word for it.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
It's a great film though, so not Yeah, I don't
think i've ever Ford. Okay, Yeah, that's he is a
very talented.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Yeah, he does the outrage the Yakuza movies.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
I hope he can cast me one of these days.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
See, that's right, and you deserve to be and so
we're trying to do in every one of those movies.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
We're working this wonderful woman who came.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
And talked to us about Japan and the Japanese culture.
When it comes to baseball, what's the second most popular
sport in Japan other than baseball?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Wow? Soccer? Maybe? All right, except that we'll accept that.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
But you know, if Olympic is happening, then the Olympics
become huge.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Are you going to cover the La Olympics here?
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Since you're such like an Angelino, like you're such a
Los Angeles person now.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
I assume so. But we'll see what happens in how
many more years?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Three years?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Yeah, three? You're out here? Want to bring it back
on and talk about all the Japanese Olympia.
