Speaker 2 (01:19):
Oh yeah, Lebron, what's he gonna do?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
You know?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
That's a real conundrum for him. He's a fake fan
of both teams. Anyway, we got Game one of the
World Series. Two o'clock is when our show might begin,
but it is still TBD. Don Martin's still trying to
figure it out. Dodgers on deck at four, first pitch
at five oh eight. It's all happening. And don't forget
it's a Modello meach A lot of Monday on the
(01:44):
Petrosen Money Show. On The Petrosen Money Show, we love Modello.
It's not a real meach. A lot of it's not
made with Modello. A reward for those with the fighting spirit.
It's time for the final our fun fast in effect,
it's yeah, we're three fun fun fact. Today's fun fact
is about the state of West Virginia, because Don, you've
been doing a little flirting with Morgantown a little bit.
(02:07):
That's the word on the street at least. Well Morgantown
story dates back to his early as seventeen seventy two,
when the town's namesake, Zachiel Morgan, sounds like a cornerback.
Now he came in with a banjo. Uh that is
that is alleged he played a lute. No, he settled
(02:30):
near the Monongahila River, which is the big river in
Morgantown that joins with the Allegheny, and to create the
three rivers, and the Alleghany and the Monongahela come together
to create the Yeah, the Ohio.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Yeah, Yeah, that's the Ohio River.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
That's it. Don Zaquille had fought in a few wars,
French Indian War, American Revolutionary War. He took it to
the river and he said, Morgantown bang, and now you
burn a couch whenever somebody scores a touchdown. It's great.
(03:13):
Did you hear about the coach last week? No?
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yeah, Neil Brown, you're having a good time. Yeah, though
we're not winning.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
What you guys? Having saw people tailgate, you seem like
they were having fought, Yes, Kates, French Indian War.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Remind me what side did we fight on in that one?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
We fought the French and the Indians. We fought against them. Yeah, man, okay,
coming down from Canada, copy that, I'm pretty sure. All right,
hold on, hit the fun fact sound again while you
eat your fig Newton done. It's a fact. It's yeah,
we're three Indian War, which side the French Indian War
was a Theater of Seven Years War which pitted North
(03:51):
American colonies of the British Empire. That's US, okay against
the French and uh the Indians.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Oh so yeah, we fought against them.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Right, I was correct, but it wasn't America. If you're
fighting a fact. Yeah, we're three fun fun fact. That
was before we transferred to America. We were still playing
under the British uniform before the portal opened.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Yeah, before the tea party.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, the seventeen seventy six portal. It's time for the.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Some to the ms.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Quick, hitch, come make it quick, y'all. Yeah. Sc versus UCLA,
Aaron Boone, Dave Roberts Dodger Stadium. Yankees announced that Garrett
Cole will be the game one starter. The former Orange
Lutheran Lancer and UCLA standout as one to zero with
(04:41):
a three point three to one ERA and three starts
so far this postseason. He's good and he's friends with
Dave Vass. He is. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Is he the best picture in the game? Tim He
was last year. He was hurt here in twenty twenty
four and he made like seventeen starts. What a healthy yes,
one of the top three pitchers.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
The Chargers are in Arizona about to against Tyler Murray
and the Cardinals. That's on ninety eight seven our sister station.
Matt Smith, Daniel Jeremiah, Why I'm here, Shannon Farron on
the call. The Rams are two and four, coming off
a win over the Raiders yesterday. The Raiders are in
a bad way. Yeah, they have a quick turnaround as
they host Sam Darnold to the Vikings on Thursday.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Night, didn't they? They lost yesterday too, and.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
We talked about it last hour. The Lakers tip off
the regular season tomorrow night when they host the Minnesota
Timberwolves at Crypto. Laker coach JJ Reddick, who says things
in a cool way down and that's why you and I,
that's why we can't get ahead in life, because we
don't say things in a cool way. We call you know, engagement,
(05:44):
farming radio, you know, or doing TV. Yeah, you know,
we're not cool. He hasn't finalized whether Lebron or Browny
will play together in the season opener versus the Wolves.
Reddick did say he's ready for the season still.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I've said this now for like five months.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I'm open minded on.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
This challenge for me is not to beat myself up
too much.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
It gets your self critical.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
But I am going to be critical of self.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That's just naturally how a critical uself, but not so critical.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Comfortable, confident, We got a We got work to do
to continue to get better. But we feel as a group,
both players and coaches, that were prepared to start a regular.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Season all three. C's comfortable, confident, clueless because he's never
been an NBA coach before.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I think he's gonna do a good job.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I do copy that the w NBA players have opted
out of their current collective bargaining agreement and they face
the prospect of a work stoppage if they don't negotiate
a new deal with the league by the end of
next season. The w NBA did have a record year
in terms of growth and viewership and attendance. I don't
know why, I do. The players now have a have
(06:57):
a well, they have a hankar and ask for a
bigger piece of the financial pie on increased salaries as
well as lifelong benefits they want, including retirement and family planning.
They also did the NBA pay for a vasectomy for
you guys or anything like that.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
No, it took a long time. Honestly, when I retired,
I'm gonna say for the first six seven years, we
didn't have insurance. Players, former players didn't have insurance.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Just rolling the dice of your life, bro win big.
They also want upgraded facilities for all teams. So it
feels like the WNBA has had a hard time handling
their own success. Don it really doesn't.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Well, I just don't get the whole and I haven't
spent a whole lot of time thinking about it or
reading about it. But Caitlin Clark has just galvanized that league.
She has and I don't get you know, the things
you see about other players not welcoming her, and I
think about the NBA and it's obviously in a much
(07:55):
different place. But like, there's no current NBA players that
are going to try and bring down Victor winbin Yama
because French, Yeah, like they they they want people that
can that can push the league forward, new young players
that in the WNBA has never seen this, And it's
not all because of Caitlin Clark. But if you look
at the TV numbers, her numbers and people watching her
(08:17):
games are way more than the other games. So I'm
not sure why these other w NBA players don't embrace
her more. But if they do get what they're asking for,
a big part of that is going to be because
of Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
And I'll tell you what, Britney spears a lot harder
on wmban Yama than anybody in the league. Sc and
UCLA are both middling down and it's been a rough year.
Washington's been up and down. I mean, they were in
the National Championship Game last year and they've had a
big turnover and a new coach, but they're they're competing
(08:52):
fine and Oregon that got into it with Ohio State
and ended up winning the game. Ohio State's supposed to
be the best looking team in the country. So it's
not that the Pac twelve teams were so I mean,
Lincoln Riley would be doing this in the Pac twelve
five to nine in his last fourteen games. That was
a lot of that was in the PAC twelve, right
with those teams. This is just who they are. But yeah,
(09:14):
I'm sure compounded with the travel and all the unknown
of being in foreign places and Lincoln doesn't seem to
know how to handle it, and get these guys into
town a day early and show them the stadium and stuff.
They get a skulk into town at the last moment,
they get beat in the fourth quarter, then they skulk out.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I'm sure the guys that put together that financial package
for Lincoln Riley aren't too happy right now.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
No, no, well, Caruso, that guy, he was pretty unhappy
right off the bat because he thought it was gonna
win him the mayorship of Los Angeles and he lost
a freaking mayor. Buzz cut. Anyway, We'll be back with
more great sports talk. We'll talks of baseball in the
very next segment on AFFI seventy La spart Welcome back,
(10:00):
everybody the Petterson Money Shows on the air. The one
and only Don McClain is here and our guest to
get things started for the World Series is a real
crunchy Groover and this is the perfect John Hayman World Series.
A man that's pay well. He spent some time in
the South Bay working at the old Daily Breeze right
(10:24):
there on Torrence Boulevard. I was once the South Bay
Daily Breeze co player of the Year, Don, so I'm
not so thank you. Nineteen ninety four but it's the
other guy, the quarterback on my team. We ran a
sweet veer.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
They couldn't figure out which one to give it to.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
You.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
You know, I ran for the twenty two hundred yards. Okay,
he had one thousand rushing and like seven hundred passing.
What do you want if you had ran for twenty
three hundred yard gas? The point is we want to
celebrate the great John Hayman. He's a busy man. He's
already here in LA and Melb Network, New York Post
the Baseball at John Hayman on X We love him.
(11:02):
A great columnist and a great mind. And let's say
he's a New Yorker, but he's got some LA roots.
And obviously the baseball world is excited about this. John,
how would you rate the baseball's level of baseball world's
level of excitement with this World Series matchup?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Well, first of all, let me belatedly congratulate, thank you
being the coach, Jogrees.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I'm still friends with Peter Crowe. I'm still friends with
the quarterback to this day. We lived. We lived together
in college for a little while too. Tell his girlfriend
how I kicked out.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I'm sorry. I feel bad. I'm thirty years late, but congratulations.
I think everybody loves this idea. The World Series New
York and La Dodgers Yankee is what they've played together.
How many times is eleven times in the World Series,
I don't know. It's been forty three years too long.
And I think you know MLB people, they are thrilled
(11:57):
about being the Yankees the Dodgers, and of course they
are most thrilled about it being the Dodgers more than
the Aches this time because of you know who. I mean,
o'tani is the international sensation. So they're gonna everybody's gonna
make a lot of money. Everybody will and they all
owe o' toonny a big thank you, John.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
How much do you make? If we were talking earlier
about the Dodgers' path this year and how it's been
different than the cut last couple of years where they
were so far out ahead in the division, they're resting guys,
there was no pressure coming down the home stretch. This
year different, a lot of injuries, don't have the full
compliment most of the time, had to fight their way
to win the division, and I just feel like that
(12:39):
that helped prepare them more for the playoffs this year
and not surprised that they got to the World Series
because of it.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah, you know, I can't decide whether it's good to
rest or not rest or good to have a big
lead or not a big lead. You know, it's just
a matter of who's on, I guess. But about this team,
I am amazed that they are where they are at
this point. To have a basically an all star team
of pictures on the injured list, incredible. To have the
(13:12):
three starters be a guy with a back concern, Flaarty,
a shoulder concern, Young Moto and coming back from Tommy
John Bueller and that's it, and you're already You've gotten
to the World Series and you're favored. I think Dave Roberts,
and I know he gets a lot of criticism. I
don't think this town is the easiest people think. I
(13:35):
think it may be tougher than New York because to me,
Dave Roberts is the better manager and he's getting more
hits than Aaron Boone and I don't get it. I mean,
he has won a World Series. He's in the World
Series the fourth time. He has the greatest winning percentage
of any manager in history, averaging one hundred and two
wins a year. And I hear so much criticism about
(13:59):
Dave Roberts. Don't get it.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
The one and only John Hayman is our guest. He
knows a lot of things. Some things he doesn't get,
but he also gets a lot of gets a lot
of stuff. Right. Are how surprised are you that the
Dodgers were able to do this with with the pitching
staff so devastated, and and what does it say about
Dave Roberts's ability to manage or their ability to pull
(14:23):
the right levers with the front office.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, I'm shocked. They do a great job. Dave Roberts
does a great job. The front office also a big
part of that. As we know, the deadline the moves
were amazing. Tommy Edmond as a cleanup hitner and NLCS MVP.
I mean they got him for almost nothing, and they
got him with Kopeck who I mean, I get the
White Sox. You know, didn't get great offers on Copeck
(14:49):
because he was not having a good year, but I
mean whole on him for a year. He wasn't a
free agent after the year. I mean, they did great clarity,
as you know, probably been their best starter. Who's healthy. Now,
what a great deadline the Dodgers had. I am amazed
at what they've been able to accomplish, and hats off
(15:10):
to all of them. I ain't know. I understand he
got a three hundred million dollars payroll, but not a
healthy three hundred million. I mean they've got, you know,
probably over one hundred million on the injured list at
this point, well over one hundred million. And I mean
they do a fantastic job, and I give them credit.
I am surprised even although I picked them at the
beginning of the year, looking at that roster to win
(15:33):
the World Series, I abandoned them, I have to admit,
because I thought the Padres looked like the best team,
and I think that Padres should have been the best team.
I mean, nobody's gone to achieve like the twenty twenty
three Podres, and someone's gonna have to figure out exactly
how they lost eighty games with most of this team
plus Soto plus now plus Logo plus hater, I mean,
(15:56):
it's impossible they should have won one hundred and twenty games.
Got eighty two game last year, but again they underachieved
and you know, I think they've got some maturity issues.
I mean, to get so upset that Ken Rosenthal wrote that,
you know, Manny Baccano shouldn't have thrown the ball, and
he kind of, you know, seemed to take the Dodger's side. There.
(16:17):
I get it. He's read in an opinion. I mean,
don't give it a thought, you know, But they let
that bother them, and I think they need to grow up.
I think that was their issue because I'm still mad
because I had them winning the World Series once this
playoffs began.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
John, how good of a story is Tommy Edmund? We
know the Dodgers have kind of been coveting him for
a couple of years, but it's not like at the
deadline they brought in a multi time All Star, a
good player, but was hurt when he got here, and
for him to be MVP of the LCS. That's that's
especially with a roster loaded with superstars and Otawni and
Betts and Freeman. How good of a story is Tommy
(16:54):
Tommy Edmund? Right now?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah? I mean, look, the Yankees, with the other team
that wanted Tommy had been and the Yankees and the Dodgers,
they do have the most money, at least in terms
of revenue. That's have the most because of the owner.
But the Yankees and Dodgers have the highest revenue and
they make good decisions too, and obviously they targeting the
right people at the deadline. They did a fantastic job
with that. And I mean the Cardinals, I mean, it
(17:18):
seems like everybody they trade becomes much better at once
they leave, right I mean, you know, there's been Randy
Rosarena and Doleys Garcia and I mean, I think it's
five or six outfielders who've become stars since leaving the Cardinals.
And here's another guy who is a center fielder, but
he's doing a good job at shortstop and he's doing
a great job at bad And I mean, you know,
(17:42):
I'm really not sure why the Cardinals evaluate throwing players
or don't get the best out of them. And maybe
that's why they're changing their leadership after next year. I
don't know. They're waiting a year. I think that's very
kind of them, but they're waiting a year to do it.
And Dodgers, I mean, you know, they do a great job.
That's why That's why Andrew Friedman is one of the
two highest paid general managers in baseball, I think probably
(18:06):
the highest paid on general salary. But David Stearns, I
haven't seen the contract. I know we got incentives to
get in the playoffs and get places in the playoffs,
and shockingly and happily, Steve Cole will have to pay
out that those incentives.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
You know, it's kind of interesting you hear people complaining that, Well,
of course, these two teams are in the World Series,
they have the biggest payrolls, and there's a certain truth
to that, I guess, But should this be happening every year?
If that's the case, how were we supposed to look
at it? Hayman?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah, I mean it's baseball, and the playoffs are a
crap shoot. You know, everyone complained because of the one
game playoff that wasn't fair, But you know what, in
that one game playoff, the better team won almost every
time if we go back and look at it. But
I would say three five seven game playoffs, unless the
Yankees are playing in ale Centralty, it is pretty close.
It's not a crap shoot, it's pretty close to a
(19:03):
crap shoot. I do think the Dodgers were certainly favored
over the Mats despite their pitching injuries, and they did
end up winning it. The Yankees, of course they played Cleveland.
I mean, Yankees playing in Central. You know who's gonna
win that. Otherwise it is a crap shoot. So you know,
to be all over the manager because they lose the
(19:24):
playoff series, you don't think they should. I mean, it's
not really right. Over one hundred and sixty two, normally
the better team win, but not always, but certainly over
seven games. I mean, I could show you so many
World series where the major underdog ended up winning.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
John how much in Look, there's a lot of factors
that go going to winning a series, but if you
had to pick one, like, what's the biggest key to
this series in your opinion?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I see how the Dodgers piece together that pitching. It's
not going to be easy. I mean, you got three
pitchers all with some injury question, three starters, and you've
got a bullpen now, which is really the only bullpen
that hasn't blown up to this point. But now you've
got whether another series they do get four days off,
maybe certainly that will help. But I mean trying to
(20:12):
Phillips Copek and then the others their bullpen's been the
best by far, and it's going to have to continue
to be the best to really get them through this
because the Yankees' power really I think is as good
or even more than the Dodgers. The Dodgers have a
better offense than everybody else, but not the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
So you like the Yankees, John, I.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
You know, if I were betting man with them being
the underdog, that's the way I would go at this moment.
I did pick the Dodgers at the beginning of the year,
so I will I will pat myself on the back
when they win. And of course, now that I'm telling
you the I think the Yankee should be the favorite.
I can. I can pat myself on the back of
they win to that's that's the way to do. But
I I don't see why the Dodgers are favored. I
(20:58):
really don't get that. You know, with the injury questions.
If you had Glass now and you had Stone and
you had me Gonsolin and best grad role, yeah they're
the better team. They're the deeper team both position players
and pitchers. But as things stand there with the injuries,
(21:21):
I think the Yankee should be favored, and really.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Do the great John Hayman. Everybody, there's nobody better. Now
that he's out here in LA for the week, he'll
probably be paddling out with Joe Tory and that commercial,
you know, full wet suit, doing his thing. Can't wait
to see all your reporting, John, What a great year
you have every year reporting on baseball, and we really
appreciate you picking up the phone and talking to us
(21:43):
here in the city. Have a great night, all.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Right, my pleasure in congrats again on your your honor.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
From nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Hey, you don't, Hey, I have no idea, but I'm
sure you do.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
We were good, okay, MVP co Player of the year.
It was the quarterback and I what's a big problem
that makes me less of a man somehow? Yes? Okay,
Well where's your player the year for the South Bay?
Nowhere down You couldn't sniff the South Bay. There he
(22:18):
goes John Hayman, the best of the best. You heard
what he had to say. We are ready and we
have to wait till Friday. Gonna be a great week
of breaking down the Yankees and the Dodgers, the biggest
baseball games in the history of our lives this week,
but coming up next with Don McLain. You're dead in
the live guy birthday of the day, and that'll be
(22:41):
it for the petros And Money Show. Dodgers Yankees World Series.
Don't ask for tickets. Nobody has them. They are not
in the hundreds, they are in the thousands. It doesn't
matter that you and your grandpa watching Dodgers together for
twenty five years. I cannot help you. I can't help you.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
It's not just because you have my number, it does it.
You're not getting help. And you know what, anybody else
you think you might be able to call, they can't
help you either. It's Dodgers Yankees World Series and the
boner is real and hard.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Oh yeah, been talking about it all day.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
It's no bamboo, it's a birch. She does not bank
O Friday, Dodgers Yankees Game one of the World Series.
Is the Petrosen Money Show even invited in the stadium?
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Yeah, not even the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Nope. Executives from New York City are coming out trying
to elbow Don Martin. Gonna be a war in the streets.
What I suggest is everybody crack a modelo on a modello,
meet you a lot on Monday. It is the Petros
Money Show, and we love the modellos. It's not a
(24:02):
real meat if it's not made with a modello. It
is the reward for those with the fighting spirit. All right, Don,
you're not gonna well, this is British News. I'm sorry, Tim,
you know I'm sorry. You have to put down your
whole food's box and pull British news. I know how
much you love Don poetry. Yes, lyrical ballads, rhymes and romanticism.
(24:27):
You are truly a man of letters.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Yes, I haven't expressed my love for the arts as
much as I'd like to on the show. But you
know me better than I sepople do. We're not just
talking about the art of barbecuing. A lot of people
don't know this, but Don still writes Longhand and when
he writes, when he writes you a letter, he uses
the wax and seal, you know, very classy. Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
British TEA time for a PMS, British News, United Kingdom,
English News, It's time for British News.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Very interesting, guys. Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote one of the
most famous and enduring poems of all time, really, yes,
but a wild and interesting life. Samuel Taylor Coleridge born
in England, a lonely boy, got into reading, got in
(25:20):
a big fight once with his mother and brother and
slept out by the river at night, and that gave
him a lifetime of sickness and rheumatism really, which led
to a lifetime of opium addiction.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Petros, I think every dead guy you do, at least
when I'm in here, they're crazily addicted to some sort
of drug.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
But wildly brilliant. Samuel Taylor Coleridge was a very smart guy,
and like some smart young people, became very idealistic. Now
you tell me if this sounds familiar. He was at
Cambridge and very smart, really into the French Revolution, like, Wow,
love what's going on in France. Let's fight the power.
(26:06):
I love what's going on. Let's cut off all the head.
And he went out there and he was like, oh
my god, this is horrible what we do. So then
he tried to start his own society with another famous writer,
guy named Southea in the United States, like a utopian
society that's completely democratic, like Athens two thousand years ago,
(26:27):
where everybody has a vote and that's just what they do.
That disintegrated quickly, so him and his wife went back
to England. But that's where the most important thing in
his life happened to him. He met a guy named
William Wordsworth, who is also a really famous poet, and
they collaborated on Lyrical Ballads, which is a group of poems,
(26:48):
and in that Lyrical Ballads which is widely taught all
over the globe for romantic literature in the early eighteen hundreds.
In that is the of the Ancient Mariner, which is
written by Samuel Taylor Kller, and she also wrote some
other good ones. Kubla Khan.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
I have a question. Yes, this may be a dumb one.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Poems done, we're talking about Paigeacks.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Well, this is why I'm asking the question. How do
poets get paid?
Speaker 2 (27:16):
In these days? They published and sold to people would
buy the Yeah, they'd buy the document. And you know,
of course that was a cool thing to have because
the printing press, and that was relatively new. Not all
things were written in long hand like they were before.
And that's where you would go to study stuff, to
like a monastery where they wrote stuff out. But the
(27:37):
rhyme of the ancient mariner the poems. In those days,
those guys like Wordsworth in England, Cole Ridge, George Gordon,
Lord Byron, they were kind of like the rock stars
of today. They were followed by the media. Coleridge ended
up being a literary critic and one of the most
famous thinkers of his time. But the opium it really
(27:57):
kind of brought him down. Yeah, but he lived, you know,
dited about like sixty years old. But here is a
reading of the rhyme of the ancient mariner Don, which
is a story about a wedding guest being pulled aside
by a crazy looking seaman. Not Brian Seamen of the Clippers,
but a guy who'd been at sea, and he tells
him a story of how he shot at albatross, you know,
(28:19):
the albatross and all that you hear that's from this.
He shot at albatross, and that brought him terrible luck,
and horrible things happened to them at sea, and only
he lived to tell the tale.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
It is an ancient manner. And he stopped with one
three by thy long gray beard and glittering eye. Now
wherefore stops thou me?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
The bridegroom's doors are open wide, and I am next
of kind trying to a wedding feast is sited here.
The med it didn't like Don Martin skinny hand.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
Oh yeah, there was a ship.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
That's Richard Burton reading, hold off on handmade gray beard, loon.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Left soles his hand drop he he holds him with
his glittering eye. The wedding guest stood still and listens
like a three years child. The mariner hath his will.
The wedding guest sat on a stone. He cannot choose
but here, and thus spake on that ancient man, the
bright eyed mariner. The ship was cheered, the harbor cleared merrily.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Did we drop below the curtain below the hill?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I fear thee ancient mariner. I fear thy skinny hand.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
On the lift?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Do you feel? Are you gonna go home? Maybe listen
to that on the way home.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
I was just gonna say, pee, that's a little above
my pay grade?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
What do you mean that?
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Just it kind of flew over my head. No offense.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Do you want me to go through it line now? No? No,
as I can. I had a great professor at USC.
Professor Keating was not a very good student, but he
was very inspiring, and he taught us of the ancient man.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Can you retain that?
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Oh yeah, I think about it all the time. I
fear thy skinny hand, for it is dark and link
and brown, like is the ye old sea? Sam? Fine?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Don?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
What do you have? We got?
Speaker 4 (30:10):
We got Yankees, Dodgers Friday.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I didn't even need how about. I didn't even need
to write that one out. I just went straight freaking
Coleridge to the Dome. Yeah you do, that's all? Like,
I didn't even write it.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
No notes, no no broad rod dog Colarridge, no prompter,
rod Dog the Coleridge today, bitch, which you guys got nothing?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
What do you have? Don?
Speaker 4 (30:29):
I got the alive guy?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
So, uh, this is the first time this has happened, Tim,
I actually know, and I'm friends with the alive guy.
Birthday of the day.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Oh yeah, is your homide?
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Yeah? I would say so?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Who is it? Is it? A Cedric Somalo's.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Happy seventy eighth birthday to local TV sportscaster and la
icon Jim Hill.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Front Jim.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Born in San Antonio. He's a standout football players A
and I where he was a cornerback. Do you know that?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yes? Good He's a pro football starts.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Nineteen sixty eight. Jim was a first round draft pick
of the San Diego Chargers, played there for four years
before going to Green Bay, where he played three years.
His final NFL year was in nineteen seventy five with
the Cleveland Browns. He's been a TV sports anchor now
for forty years.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yes, he's so.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
I'm fifty four. So when I was fourteen, he came
on the.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
ARA hanging it out with the same haircut and the
same suit. Yep.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
It all started though for him through back in San
Diego when he was with the Chargers, the local TV
station down there let him host a music show called
Mister thirty Nine's Talent Tonight program like American Bandstand with
some sports reporting mixed in. When Jim Hill went to
play in Green Bay, a local TV station there had
him do the evening sports reports. After retiring from the NFL,
(31:55):
Jim Hill joined CBS Channel two here in LA where
he worked for eleven years as a sports anchor Channel two. Yeah.
Then he went to Channel seven.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Yeah. So he made a move. He made a move,
and then he came back.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Out six years. Then he returned to CBS in nineteen
ninety two. He's one of the only local TV sports
anchors who actually attend sporting events. What do you mean, Tim,
other guys don't show up at the game.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
I take that as a personal affront to me.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
You get some of these weekend hacks ago out there. Now,
I'll tell you this, and I will know if this
is an unwritten rule, But I can only speak specifically
to Clippers press conferences. If Jim Hill's there, you know
who asked the first question? Oh yeah, no doubt, yeah,
Jim Hill. If Jim Hill's there, you know who asked
(32:53):
the first question?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Who? Jim Hill? That's who. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
Here's Jim Hill. At Jim Harbaugh's entered douctory press conference
this past spring. First question, I bet coach, this is
I'm Jim Hill.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
KKL nine News. Congratulations, you're a legend.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
No no no, no no, you're the legend. You're a legend.
No no no, you're the legend.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Believe me you're the legend. Yeah ha ha.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
He is a legend, ha ha. In your legend.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
No no, no, no no, you're the legend.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
No no, no, no, you're the legend.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Believe me, you're the legend.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Ha uh in two thousand and six, awarded a star
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
That was a wonderful moment.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
A few years ago, inducted to the California Sports Hall
of Fame. He's appeared on TV shows like Arlests in
movies like Rocky three. Here's the opening scene from Rocky
three with Jim Hill playing himself as a local TV sportscaster.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
He can't du me for he can run, but he
can't high well.
Speaker 7 (33:49):
Another south paw heavyweight champion, Rocky bell Boy, doesn't seem.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
To be worried about much of these days.
Speaker 7 (33:54):
He's just defended his sign up for the tenth time,
and now he's even agreed to take on the world's
heavyweight rest champion and a sort of charity benefit with
all the proceeds to go to a local youth foundation.
Now I'll have to give him credit. Mister bell Boy
manages to stay busy. He's a cheer sportsman, and it
looks like the number one contender, clubber Lang will have
to continue to play the waiting game.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
But that should be a great, great matchup. Happy birthday,
Jim Legend, now him and Harbaugh, You're a legend.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
No you ha, No, you're the best.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Thank you for listening, everybody. We'll be back on at
three o'clock tomorrow for another four hour show. You could

Tim Kakes. We scam tomorrow morning six am. Brother Steve Sacks,
Jerry Royce joining the show. No really, I told you.

You see your father, then you see me.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Welcome back everybody. It's the Pettersen Money Show on a
M five seventy l A Sports. If you want to
root for the Dodgers, try not to watch the celebrity
shout outs for the Dodgers. Uh, what do you mean,
they're just not I hate celebrities, don't. Most like don't.
Most right minded people hate celebrities and not want to
(00:43):
be told what to do by a celebrity. Like what, yes, right,
So when I see celebrities at the game, I'm like, God,
I'm rooting in spite of that, right, I'm rooting in
spite of this. The celebrity at the game, Yes, that's
my feet. I concur Dodgers Yankees. No, it's gonna be
celeberty Leyden, mailbox head New Yorkers, avocado head Angelinos, people
(01:06):
that aren't from either place but act like they are
and root fervently for the Dodgers or New York. We're
gonna have it all.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
There will be a lot of New York hats and
Dodger hats starting this week all over town.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Oh yeah, Lebron, what's he gonna do?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
You know?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
That's a real conundrum for him. He's a fake fan
of both teams. Anyway, we got Game one of the
World Series. Two o'clock is when our show might begin,
but it is still TBD. Don Martin's still trying to
figure it out. Dodgers on deck at four, first pitch
at five oh eight. It's all happening. And don't forget
it's a Modello meach A lot of Monday on the
(01:44):
Petrosen Money Show. On The Petrosen Money Show, we love Modello.
It's not a real meach. A lot of it's not
made with Modello. A reward for those with the fighting spirit.
It's time for the final our fun fast in effect,
it's yeah, we're three fun fun fact. Today's fun fact
is about the state of West Virginia, because Don, you've
been doing a little flirting with Morgantown a little bit.
(02:07):
That's the word on the street at least. Well Morgantown
story dates back to his early as seventeen seventy two,
when the town's namesake, Zachiel Morgan, sounds like a cornerback.
Now he came in with a banjo. Uh that is
that is alleged he played a lute. No, he settled
(02:30):
near the Monongahila River, which is the big river in
Morgantown that joins with the Allegheny, and to create the
three rivers, and the Alleghany and the Monongahela come together
to create the Yeah, the Ohio.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Yeah, Yeah, that's the Ohio River.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
That's it. Don Zaquille had fought in a few wars,
French Indian War, American Revolutionary War. He took it to
the river and he said, Morgantown bang, and now you
burn a couch whenever somebody scores a touchdown. It's great.
(03:13):
Did you hear about the coach last week? No?
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yeah, Neil Brown, you're having a good time. Yeah, though
we're not winning.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
What you guys? Having saw people tailgate, you seem like
they were having fought, Yes, Kates, French Indian War.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Remind me what side did we fight on in that one?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
We fought the French and the Indians. We fought against them. Yeah, man, okay,
coming down from Canada, copy that, I'm pretty sure. All right,
hold on, hit the fun fact sound again while you
eat your fig Newton done. It's a fact. It's yeah,
we're three Indian War, which side the French Indian War
was a Theater of Seven Years War which pitted North
(03:51):
American colonies of the British Empire. That's US, okay against
the French and uh the Indians.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Oh so yeah, we fought against them.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Right, I was correct, but it wasn't America. If you're
fighting a fact. Yeah, we're three fun fun fact. That
was before we transferred to America. We were still playing
under the British uniform before the portal opened.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Yeah, before the tea party.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, the seventeen seventy six portal. It's time for the.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Some to the ms.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Quick, hitch, come make it quick, y'all. Yeah. Sc versus UCLA,
Aaron Boone, Dave Roberts Dodger Stadium. Yankees announced that Garrett
Cole will be the game one starter. The former Orange
Lutheran Lancer and UCLA standout as one to zero with
(04:41):
a three point three to one ERA and three starts
so far this postseason. He's good and he's friends with
Dave Vass. He is. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Is he the best picture in the game? Tim He
was last year. He was hurt here in twenty twenty
four and he made like seventeen starts. What a healthy yes,
one of the top three pitchers.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
The Chargers are in Arizona about to against Tyler Murray
and the Cardinals. That's on ninety eight seven our sister station.
Matt Smith, Daniel Jeremiah, Why I'm here, Shannon Farron on
the call. The Rams are two and four, coming off
a win over the Raiders yesterday. The Raiders are in
a bad way. Yeah, they have a quick turnaround as
they host Sam Darnold to the Vikings on Thursday.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Night, didn't they? They lost yesterday too, and.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
We talked about it last hour. The Lakers tip off
the regular season tomorrow night when they host the Minnesota
Timberwolves at Crypto. Laker coach JJ Reddick, who says things
in a cool way down and that's why you and I,
that's why we can't get ahead in life, because we
don't say things in a cool way. We call you know, engagement,
(05:44):
farming radio, you know, or doing TV. Yeah, you know,
we're not cool. He hasn't finalized whether Lebron or Browny
will play together in the season opener versus the Wolves.
Reddick did say he's ready for the season still.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I've said this now for like five months.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I'm open minded on.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
This challenge for me is not to beat myself up
too much.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
It gets your self critical.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
But I am going to be critical of self.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That's just naturally how a critical uself, but not so critical.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Comfortable, confident, We got a We got work to do
to continue to get better. But we feel as a group,
both players and coaches, that were prepared to start a regular.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Season all three. C's comfortable, confident, clueless because he's never
been an NBA coach before.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I think he's gonna do a good job.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I do copy that the w NBA players have opted
out of their current collective bargaining agreement and they face
the prospect of a work stoppage if they don't negotiate
a new deal with the league by the end of
next season. The w NBA did have a record year
in terms of growth and viewership and attendance. I don't
know why, I do. The players now have a have
(06:57):
a well, they have a hankar and ask for a
bigger piece of the financial pie on increased salaries as
well as lifelong benefits they want, including retirement and family planning.
They also did the NBA pay for a vasectomy for
you guys or anything like that.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
No, it took a long time. Honestly, when I retired,
I'm gonna say for the first six seven years, we
didn't have insurance. Players, former players didn't have insurance.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Just rolling the dice of your life, bro win big.
They also want upgraded facilities for all teams. So it
feels like the WNBA has had a hard time handling
their own success. Don it really doesn't.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Well, I just don't get the whole and I haven't
spent a whole lot of time thinking about it or
reading about it. But Caitlin Clark has just galvanized that league.
She has and I don't get you know, the things
you see about other players not welcoming her, and I
think about the NBA and it's obviously in a much
(07:55):
different place. But like, there's no current NBA players that
are going to try and bring down Victor winbin Yama
because French, Yeah, like they they they want people that
can that can push the league forward, new young players
that in the WNBA has never seen this, And it's
not all because of Caitlin Clark. But if you look
at the TV numbers, her numbers and people watching her
(08:17):
games are way more than the other games. So I'm
not sure why these other w NBA players don't embrace
her more. But if they do get what they're asking for,
a big part of that is going to be because
of Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
And I'll tell you what, Britney spears a lot harder
on wmban Yama than anybody in the league. Sc and
UCLA are both middling down and it's been a rough year.
Washington's been up and down. I mean, they were in
the National Championship Game last year and they've had a
big turnover and a new coach, but they're they're competing
(08:52):
fine and Oregon that got into it with Ohio State
and ended up winning the game. Ohio State's supposed to
be the best looking team in the country. So it's
not that the Pac twelve teams were so I mean,
Lincoln Riley would be doing this in the Pac twelve
five to nine in his last fourteen games. That was
a lot of that was in the PAC twelve, right
with those teams. This is just who they are. But yeah,
(09:14):
I'm sure compounded with the travel and all the unknown
of being in foreign places and Lincoln doesn't seem to
know how to handle it, and get these guys into
town a day early and show them the stadium and stuff.
They get a skulk into town at the last moment,
they get beat in the fourth quarter, then they skulk out.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I'm sure the guys that put together that financial package
for Lincoln Riley aren't too happy right now.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
No, no, well, Caruso, that guy, he was pretty unhappy
right off the bat because he thought it was gonna
win him the mayorship of Los Angeles and he lost
a freaking mayor. Buzz cut. Anyway, We'll be back with
more great sports talk. We'll talks of baseball in the
very next segment on AFFI seventy La spart Welcome back,
(10:00):
everybody the Petterson Money Shows on the air. The one
and only Don McClain is here and our guest to
get things started for the World Series is a real
crunchy Groover and this is the perfect John Hayman World Series.
A man that's pay well. He spent some time in
the South Bay working at the old Daily Breeze right
(10:24):
there on Torrence Boulevard. I was once the South Bay
Daily Breeze co player of the Year, Don, so I'm
not so thank you. Nineteen ninety four but it's the
other guy, the quarterback on my team. We ran a
sweet veer.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
They couldn't figure out which one to give it to.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
You.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
You know, I ran for the twenty two hundred yards. Okay,
he had one thousand rushing and like seven hundred passing.
What do you want if you had ran for twenty
three hundred yard gas? The point is we want to
celebrate the great John Hayman. He's a busy man. He's
already here in LA and Melb Network, New York Post
the Baseball at John Hayman on X We love him.
(11:02):
A great columnist and a great mind. And let's say
he's a New Yorker, but he's got some LA roots.
And obviously the baseball world is excited about this. John,
how would you rate the baseball's level of baseball world's
level of excitement with this World Series matchup?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Well, first of all, let me belatedly congratulate, thank you
being the coach, Jogrees.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I'm still friends with Peter Crowe. I'm still friends with
the quarterback to this day. We lived. We lived together
in college for a little while too. Tell his girlfriend
how I kicked out.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I'm sorry. I feel bad. I'm thirty years late, but congratulations.
I think everybody loves this idea. The World Series New
York and La Dodgers Yankee is what they've played together.
How many times is eleven times in the World Series,
I don't know. It's been forty three years too long.
And I think you know MLB people, they are thrilled
(11:57):
about being the Yankees the Dodgers, and of course they
are most thrilled about it being the Dodgers more than
the Aches this time because of you know who. I mean,
o'tani is the international sensation. So they're gonna everybody's gonna
make a lot of money. Everybody will and they all
owe o' toonny a big thank you, John.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
How much do you make? If we were talking earlier
about the Dodgers' path this year and how it's been
different than the cut last couple of years where they
were so far out ahead in the division, they're resting guys,
there was no pressure coming down the home stretch. This
year different, a lot of injuries, don't have the full
compliment most of the time, had to fight their way
to win the division, and I just feel like that
(12:39):
that helped prepare them more for the playoffs this year
and not surprised that they got to the World Series
because of it.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah, you know, I can't decide whether it's good to
rest or not rest or good to have a big
lead or not a big lead. You know, it's just
a matter of who's on, I guess. But about this team,
I am amazed that they are where they are at
this point. To have a basically an all star team
of pictures on the injured list, incredible. To have the
(13:12):
three starters be a guy with a back concern, Flaarty,
a shoulder concern, Young Moto and coming back from Tommy
John Bueller and that's it, and you're already You've gotten
to the World Series and you're favored. I think Dave Roberts,
and I know he gets a lot of criticism. I
don't think this town is the easiest people think. I
(13:35):
think it may be tougher than New York because to me,
Dave Roberts is the better manager and he's getting more
hits than Aaron Boone and I don't get it. I mean,
he has won a World Series. He's in the World
Series the fourth time. He has the greatest winning percentage
of any manager in history, averaging one hundred and two
wins a year. And I hear so much criticism about
(13:59):
Dave Roberts. Don't get it.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
The one and only John Hayman is our guest. He
knows a lot of things. Some things he doesn't get,
but he also gets a lot of gets a lot
of stuff. Right. Are how surprised are you that the
Dodgers were able to do this with with the pitching
staff so devastated, and and what does it say about
Dave Roberts's ability to manage or their ability to pull
(14:23):
the right levers with the front office.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, I'm shocked. They do a great job. Dave Roberts
does a great job. The front office also a big
part of that. As we know, the deadline the moves
were amazing. Tommy Edmond as a cleanup hitner and NLCS MVP.
I mean they got him for almost nothing, and they
got him with Kopeck who I mean, I get the
White Sox. You know, didn't get great offers on Copeck
(14:49):
because he was not having a good year, but I
mean whole on him for a year. He wasn't a
free agent after the year. I mean, they did great clarity,
as you know, probably been their best starter. Who's healthy. Now,
what a great deadline the Dodgers had. I am amazed
at what they've been able to accomplish, and hats off
(15:10):
to all of them. I ain't know. I understand he
got a three hundred million dollars payroll, but not a
healthy three hundred million. I mean they've got, you know,
probably over one hundred million on the injured list at
this point, well over one hundred million. And I mean
they do a fantastic job, and I give them credit.
I am surprised even although I picked them at the
beginning of the year, looking at that roster to win
(15:33):
the World Series, I abandoned them, I have to admit,
because I thought the Padres looked like the best team,
and I think that Padres should have been the best team.
I mean, nobody's gone to achieve like the twenty twenty
three Podres, and someone's gonna have to figure out exactly
how they lost eighty games with most of this team
plus Soto plus now plus Logo plus hater, I mean,
(15:56):
it's impossible they should have won one hundred and twenty games.
Got eighty two game last year, but again they underachieved
and you know, I think they've got some maturity issues.
I mean, to get so upset that Ken Rosenthal wrote that,
you know, Manny Baccano shouldn't have thrown the ball, and
he kind of, you know, seemed to take the Dodger's side. There.
(16:17):
I get it. He's read in an opinion. I mean,
don't give it a thought, you know, But they let
that bother them, and I think they need to grow up.
I think that was their issue because I'm still mad
because I had them winning the World Series once this
playoffs began.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
John, how good of a story is Tommy Edmund? We
know the Dodgers have kind of been coveting him for
a couple of years, but it's not like at the
deadline they brought in a multi time All Star, a
good player, but was hurt when he got here, and
for him to be MVP of the LCS. That's that's
especially with a roster loaded with superstars and Otawni and
Betts and Freeman. How good of a story is Tommy
(16:54):
Tommy Edmund? Right now?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah? I mean, look, the Yankees, with the other team
that wanted Tommy had been and the Yankees and the Dodgers,
they do have the most money, at least in terms
of revenue. That's have the most because of the owner.
But the Yankees and Dodgers have the highest revenue and
they make good decisions too, and obviously they targeting the
right people at the deadline. They did a fantastic job
with that. And I mean the Cardinals, I mean, it
(17:18):
seems like everybody they trade becomes much better at once
they leave, right I mean, you know, there's been Randy
Rosarena and Doleys Garcia and I mean, I think it's
five or six outfielders who've become stars since leaving the Cardinals.
And here's another guy who is a center fielder, but
he's doing a good job at shortstop and he's doing
a great job at bad And I mean, you know,
(17:42):
I'm really not sure why the Cardinals evaluate throwing players
or don't get the best out of them. And maybe
that's why they're changing their leadership after next year. I
don't know. They're waiting a year. I think that's very
kind of them, but they're waiting a year to do it.
And Dodgers, I mean, you know, they do a great job.
That's why That's why Andrew Friedman is one of the
two highest paid general managers in baseball, I think probably
(18:06):
the highest paid on general salary. But David Stearns, I
haven't seen the contract. I know we got incentives to
get in the playoffs and get places in the playoffs,
and shockingly and happily, Steve Cole will have to pay
out that those incentives.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
You know, it's kind of interesting you hear people complaining that, Well,
of course, these two teams are in the World Series,
they have the biggest payrolls, and there's a certain truth
to that, I guess, But should this be happening every year?
If that's the case, how were we supposed to look
at it? Hayman?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah, I mean it's baseball, and the playoffs are a
crap shoot. You know, everyone complained because of the one
game playoff that wasn't fair, But you know what, in
that one game playoff, the better team won almost every
time if we go back and look at it. But
I would say three five seven game playoffs, unless the
Yankees are playing in ale Centralty, it is pretty close.
It's not a crap shoot, it's pretty close to a
(19:03):
crap shoot. I do think the Dodgers were certainly favored
over the Mats despite their pitching injuries, and they did
end up winning it. The Yankees, of course they played Cleveland.
I mean, Yankees playing in Central. You know who's gonna
win that. Otherwise it is a crap shoot. So you know,
to be all over the manager because they lose the
(19:24):
playoff series, you don't think they should. I mean, it's
not really right. Over one hundred and sixty two, normally
the better team win, but not always, but certainly over
seven games. I mean, I could show you so many
World series where the major underdog ended up winning.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
John how much in Look, there's a lot of factors
that go going to winning a series, but if you
had to pick one, like, what's the biggest key to
this series in your opinion?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I see how the Dodgers piece together that pitching. It's
not going to be easy. I mean, you got three
pitchers all with some injury question, three starters, and you've
got a bullpen now, which is really the only bullpen
that hasn't blown up to this point. But now you've
got whether another series they do get four days off,
maybe certainly that will help. But I mean trying to
(20:12):
Phillips Copek and then the others their bullpen's been the
best by far, and it's going to have to continue
to be the best to really get them through this
because the Yankees' power really I think is as good
or even more than the Dodgers. The Dodgers have a
better offense than everybody else, but not the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
So you like the Yankees, John, I.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
You know, if I were betting man with them being
the underdog, that's the way I would go at this moment.
I did pick the Dodgers at the beginning of the year,
so I will I will pat myself on the back
when they win. And of course, now that I'm telling
you the I think the Yankee should be the favorite.
I can. I can pat myself on the back of
they win to that's that's the way to do. But
I I don't see why the Dodgers are favored. I
(20:58):
really don't get that. You know, with the injury questions.
If you had Glass now and you had Stone and
you had me Gonsolin and best grad role, yeah they're
the better team. They're the deeper team both position players
and pitchers. But as things stand there with the injuries,
(21:21):
I think the Yankee should be favored, and really.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Do the great John Hayman. Everybody, there's nobody better. Now
that he's out here in LA for the week, he'll
probably be paddling out with Joe Tory and that commercial,
you know, full wet suit, doing his thing. Can't wait
to see all your reporting, John, What a great year
you have every year reporting on baseball, and we really
appreciate you picking up the phone and talking to us
(21:43):
here in the city. Have a great night, all.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Right, my pleasure in congrats again on your your honor.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
From nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Hey, you don't, Hey, I have no idea, but I'm
sure you do.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
We were good, okay, MVP co Player of the year.
It was the quarterback and I what's a big problem
that makes me less of a man somehow? Yes? Okay,
Well where's your player the year for the South Bay?
Nowhere down You couldn't sniff the South Bay. There he
(22:18):
goes John Hayman, the best of the best. You heard
what he had to say. We are ready and we
have to wait till Friday. Gonna be a great week
of breaking down the Yankees and the Dodgers, the biggest
baseball games in the history of our lives this week,
but coming up next with Don McLain. You're dead in
the live guy birthday of the day, and that'll be
(22:41):
it for the petros And Money Show. Dodgers Yankees World Series.
Don't ask for tickets. Nobody has them. They are not
in the hundreds, they are in the thousands. It doesn't
matter that you and your grandpa watching Dodgers together for
twenty five years. I cannot help you. I can't help you.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
It's not just because you have my number, it does it.
You're not getting help. And you know what, anybody else
you think you might be able to call, they can't
help you either. It's Dodgers Yankees World Series and the
boner is real and hard.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Oh yeah, been talking about it all day.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
It's no bamboo, it's a birch. She does not bank
O Friday, Dodgers Yankees Game one of the World Series.
Is the Petrosen Money Show even invited in the stadium?
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Yeah, not even the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Nope. Executives from New York City are coming out trying
to elbow Don Martin. Gonna be a war in the streets.
What I suggest is everybody crack a modelo on a modello,
meet you a lot on Monday. It is the Petros
Money Show, and we love the modellos. It's not a
(24:02):
real meat if it's not made with a modello. It
is the reward for those with the fighting spirit. All right, Don,
you're not gonna well, this is British News. I'm sorry, Tim,
you know I'm sorry. You have to put down your
whole food's box and pull British news. I know how
much you love Don poetry. Yes, lyrical ballads, rhymes and romanticism.
(24:27):
You are truly a man of letters.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Yes, I haven't expressed my love for the arts as
much as I'd like to on the show. But you
know me better than I sepople do. We're not just
talking about the art of barbecuing. A lot of people
don't know this, but Don still writes Longhand and when
he writes, when he writes you a letter, he uses
the wax and seal, you know, very classy. Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
British TEA time for a PMS, British News, United Kingdom,
English News, It's time for British News.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Very interesting, guys. Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote one of the
most famous and enduring poems of all time, really, yes,
but a wild and interesting life. Samuel Taylor Coleridge born
in England, a lonely boy, got into reading, got in
(25:20):
a big fight once with his mother and brother and
slept out by the river at night, and that gave
him a lifetime of sickness and rheumatism really, which led
to a lifetime of opium addiction.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Petros, I think every dead guy you do, at least
when I'm in here, they're crazily addicted to some sort
of drug.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
But wildly brilliant. Samuel Taylor Coleridge was a very smart guy,
and like some smart young people, became very idealistic. Now
you tell me if this sounds familiar. He was at
Cambridge and very smart, really into the French Revolution, like, Wow,
love what's going on in France. Let's fight the power.
(26:06):
I love what's going on. Let's cut off all the head.
And he went out there and he was like, oh
my god, this is horrible what we do. So then
he tried to start his own society with another famous writer,
guy named Southea in the United States, like a utopian
society that's completely democratic, like Athens two thousand years ago,
(26:27):
where everybody has a vote and that's just what they do.
That disintegrated quickly, so him and his wife went back
to England. But that's where the most important thing in
his life happened to him. He met a guy named
William Wordsworth, who is also a really famous poet, and
they collaborated on Lyrical Ballads, which is a group of poems,
(26:48):
and in that Lyrical Ballads which is widely taught all
over the globe for romantic literature in the early eighteen hundreds.
In that is the of the Ancient Mariner, which is
written by Samuel Taylor Kller, and she also wrote some
other good ones. Kubla Khan.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
I have a question. Yes, this may be a dumb one.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Poems done, we're talking about Paigeacks.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Well, this is why I'm asking the question. How do
poets get paid?
Speaker 2 (27:16):
In these days? They published and sold to people would
buy the Yeah, they'd buy the document. And you know,
of course that was a cool thing to have because
the printing press, and that was relatively new. Not all
things were written in long hand like they were before.
And that's where you would go to study stuff, to
like a monastery where they wrote stuff out. But the
(27:37):
rhyme of the ancient mariner the poems. In those days,
those guys like Wordsworth in England, Cole Ridge, George Gordon,
Lord Byron, they were kind of like the rock stars
of today. They were followed by the media. Coleridge ended
up being a literary critic and one of the most
famous thinkers of his time. But the opium it really
(27:57):
kind of brought him down. Yeah, but he lived, you know,
dited about like sixty years old. But here is a
reading of the rhyme of the ancient mariner Don, which
is a story about a wedding guest being pulled aside
by a crazy looking seaman. Not Brian Seamen of the Clippers,
but a guy who'd been at sea, and he tells
him a story of how he shot at albatross, you know,
(28:19):
the albatross and all that you hear that's from this.
He shot at albatross, and that brought him terrible luck,
and horrible things happened to them at sea, and only
he lived to tell the tale.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
It is an ancient manner. And he stopped with one
three by thy long gray beard and glittering eye. Now
wherefore stops thou me?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
The bridegroom's doors are open wide, and I am next
of kind trying to a wedding feast is sited here.
The med it didn't like Don Martin skinny hand.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
Oh yeah, there was a ship.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
That's Richard Burton reading, hold off on handmade gray beard, loon.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Left soles his hand drop he he holds him with
his glittering eye. The wedding guest stood still and listens
like a three years child. The mariner hath his will.
The wedding guest sat on a stone. He cannot choose
but here, and thus spake on that ancient man, the
bright eyed mariner. The ship was cheered, the harbor cleared merrily.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Did we drop below the curtain below the hill?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I fear thee ancient mariner. I fear thy skinny hand.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
On the lift?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Do you feel? Are you gonna go home? Maybe listen
to that on the way home.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
I was just gonna say, pee, that's a little above
my pay grade?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
What do you mean that?
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Just it kind of flew over my head. No offense.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Do you want me to go through it line now? No? No,
as I can. I had a great professor at USC.
Professor Keating was not a very good student, but he
was very inspiring, and he taught us of the ancient man.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Can you retain that?
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Oh yeah, I think about it all the time. I
fear thy skinny hand, for it is dark and link
and brown, like is the ye old sea? Sam? Fine?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Don?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
What do you have? We got?
Speaker 4 (30:10):
We got Yankees, Dodgers Friday.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I didn't even need how about. I didn't even need
to write that one out. I just went straight freaking
Coleridge to the Dome. Yeah you do, that's all? Like,
I didn't even write it.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
No notes, no no broad rod dog Colarridge, no prompter,
rod Dog the Coleridge today, bitch, which you guys got nothing?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
What do you have? Don?
Speaker 4 (30:29):
I got the alive guy?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
So, uh, this is the first time this has happened, Tim,
I actually know, and I'm friends with the alive guy.
Birthday of the day.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Oh yeah, is your homide?
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Yeah? I would say so?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Who is it? Is it? A Cedric Somalo's.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Happy seventy eighth birthday to local TV sportscaster and la
icon Jim Hill.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Front Jim.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Born in San Antonio. He's a standout football players A
and I where he was a cornerback. Do you know that?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yes? Good He's a pro football starts.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Nineteen sixty eight. Jim was a first round draft pick
of the San Diego Chargers, played there for four years
before going to Green Bay, where he played three years.
His final NFL year was in nineteen seventy five with
the Cleveland Browns. He's been a TV sports anchor now
for forty years.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yes, he's so.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
I'm fifty four. So when I was fourteen, he came
on the.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
ARA hanging it out with the same haircut and the
same suit. Yep.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
It all started though for him through back in San
Diego when he was with the Chargers, the local TV
station down there let him host a music show called
Mister thirty Nine's Talent Tonight program like American Bandstand with
some sports reporting mixed in. When Jim Hill went to
play in Green Bay, a local TV station there had
him do the evening sports reports. After retiring from the NFL,
(31:55):
Jim Hill joined CBS Channel two here in LA where
he worked for eleven years as a sports anchor Channel two. Yeah.
Then he went to Channel seven.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Yeah. So he made a move. He made a move,
and then he came back.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Out six years. Then he returned to CBS in nineteen
ninety two. He's one of the only local TV sports
anchors who actually attend sporting events. What do you mean, Tim,
other guys don't show up at the game.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
I take that as a personal affront to me.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
You get some of these weekend hacks ago out there. Now,
I'll tell you this, and I will know if this
is an unwritten rule, But I can only speak specifically
to Clippers press conferences. If Jim Hill's there, you know
who asked the first question? Oh yeah, no doubt, yeah,
Jim Hill. If Jim Hill's there, you know who asked
(32:53):
the first question?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Who? Jim Hill? That's who. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
Here's Jim Hill. At Jim Harbaugh's entered douctory press conference
this past spring. First question, I bet coach, this is
I'm Jim Hill.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
KKL nine News. Congratulations, you're a legend.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
No no no, no no, you're the legend. You're a legend.
No no no, you're the legend.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Believe me you're the legend. Yeah ha ha.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
He is a legend, ha ha. In your legend.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
No no, no, no no, you're the legend.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
No no, no, no, you're the legend.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Believe me, you're the legend.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Ha uh in two thousand and six, awarded a star
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
That was a wonderful moment.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
A few years ago, inducted to the California Sports Hall
of Fame. He's appeared on TV shows like Arlests in
movies like Rocky three. Here's the opening scene from Rocky
three with Jim Hill playing himself as a local TV sportscaster.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
He can't du me for he can run, but he
can't high well.
Speaker 7 (33:49):
Another south paw heavyweight champion, Rocky bell Boy, doesn't seem.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
To be worried about much of these days.
Speaker 7 (33:54):
He's just defended his sign up for the tenth time,
and now he's even agreed to take on the world's
heavyweight rest champion and a sort of charity benefit with
all the proceeds to go to a local youth foundation.
Now I'll have to give him credit. Mister bell Boy
manages to stay busy. He's a cheer sportsman, and it
looks like the number one contender, clubber Lang will have
to continue to play the waiting game.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
But that should be a great, great matchup. Happy birthday,
Jim Legend, now him and Harbaugh, You're a legend.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
No you ha, No, you're the best.
