Speaker 2: followed by Yoshi Yamamoto. We will have a Dodger centric

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: show today. P As you would imagine, after the big

25
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: celebration the sweep, the Detroit Tigers have just knocked off

26
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: the Guardians, so they advanced as a visiting team. The

27
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: Cubs and the Padres are playing right now. The Yankees

28
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: and Red Sox will do battle later. But the Dodgers

29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: able to take care of business and get the rest

30
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: they needed and have Sho hal Tani start Game one

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 2: of the Divisional round.

32
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: It is a very exciting time for Dodger fans as

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: the focus moves to Philadelphia. They had a big party

34
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: last night with to today. The Dodgers went down early in

35
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: the first inning. Yamamoto gave up a couple runs.

36
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: Well, Yamamoto didn't give up the runs. He was not

37
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: charged the two runs because I was told repeatedly that

38
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: Taoscar Hernandez gave up those two runs.

39
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, but you know what I mean, Yeah, I mean,

40
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 3: are we gonna split hairs?

41
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: I think I think someone would take an issue with that.

42
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: You know, someone would say, well, now wait a minute here,

43
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: those were not his runs. That was the third out,

44
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: and so technically, you know they should be attached to

45
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: the guy responsible for those two runs.

46
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 3: The Dodgers went down early, it's fair to say, yes.

47
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 3: And because they went down early, a lot of people

48
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: got very nervous, very quickly and started saying, David Vassay

49
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 3: talking about gassing up the jet yesterday, David Vassay strutting

50
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: like a rooster on Matt Muddy Smith.

51
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: Let me walk in like a rooster.

52
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 5: I am stylin seven innings, nine strikeouts, winning game one.

53
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 6: Whoa, that's right, snail Zilla baby.

54
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: It is all moot. As the Dodgers were able to win,

55
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: able to push through, able to dominate, even though the

56
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: bullpen is still an adventure, which will be an even

57
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: more adventurous adventure in Philadelphia and back back in Los Angeles.

58
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: It is funny that I would imagine, because of the

59
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: textoso you certainly have to wear it a lot more

60
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: than anyone else when people freak out and they're like,

61
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: Dave's such an idiot gassing up the jet and all

62
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: this celebration and you guys talking about and it's okay.

63
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: But then when they win, and I would wouldn't imagine

64
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: you want them to come back your way, but to say, hey, yeah,

65
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: it turns out you can't just gas up the jet.

66
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: And they made pretty easy work of the Reds and

67
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: they're was never really a threat there. Even when things

68
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: got a little bit hairier there, fell behind by two. Eventually,

69
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: this is a team that put eight on the board.

70
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, wait to go, Dave, gass up the jet

71
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: and let's get the Philly.

72
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: I can read you a few of the texts from

73
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: from last night when it was happening.

74
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 7: The text does a fine brought to you by your

75
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 7: so called Toyota dealers.

76
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 3: We make it easy. This one says, playoff keyk is

77
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: a real thing.

78
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: There we go. That's some positivity. See that helps balance

79
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: out the textos.

80
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: So when Max Munsey had to run to first, this

81
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 3: one says, better check out Max Munsey after that run?

82
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: Ah right, because of the portly built.

83
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 3: This says, are we going to see magic every time

84
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 3: the Dodgers score? At least he doesn't have a punkass

85
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: glove like Rodney.

86
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: Uh.

87
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 3: There was a lot of magic cutaways early and he

88
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 3: did not have a glove. But then there was a

89
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: whole bunch of Bateman cut away.

90
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: He's not a Bateman, and I like the magic better

91
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: because magic and I listen, I get it, it gets,

92
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,679
Speaker 2: it gets old and tiresome. But at least he's behaving

93
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: like a real fan. He's not too cool for school.

94
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: He's standing up, he's waving the towel, he's freaking out.

95
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 2: I'd rather have that than like super cool guy sitting

96
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: behind the the you know, the the plate, not showing

97
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 2: any emotion.

98
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 8: You know.

99
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: Magic's a little more indicative of what the rest of

100
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 2: the fifty five thousand people are doing there.

101
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I guess this one said, you're right, You're right.

102
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: My bitterness is real. Uh, this one says, of course,

103
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 3: after Money gives a dissertation on why she handshd Anchor

104
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 3: the bullpen in the playoffs, look what happens. The curse

105
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 3: of PMS Continuo was ugly.

106
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: It was real ugly, our man, she and I I

107
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: started to feel like he was a child out there, like, well,

108
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: someone come get this poor kid. Can we can we

109
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 2: get this poor child out of the game. This isn't

110
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: fair to him.

111
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: This is.

112
00:05:59,360 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 8: You know.

113
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: And and of course a twenty three year old comes

114
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 2: in the ninth inning and most the three batters down.

115
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 2: He faces and you're like, oh, yeah, he's a child too. Yeah,

116
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: here we are.

117
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 3: Here's somebody about to feel stupid. From the three to

118
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 3: one to zero. What's what that stupid wave thing the

119
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 3: Dodgers do when they get a hit, it's so gay?

120
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 3: Well you know what being gay is, okay, first of all, sir,

121
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 3: and second of all, more importantly, even they're doing it

122
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: because it's the Freddie Freeman dance. All right, that's long

123
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 3: been documented here on the Petrosen Money Show.

124
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: It's been two years while they added and then they

125
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: added the show hey commercial cosmetic commercial thing with.

126
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 3: The yeah that's when you're round third though, right.

127
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 2: So they're all inside jokes, right. They're making fun of

128
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: Freddy for the way he danced at a charity event,

129
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: and then they're making fun of show Hay for his

130
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: cosmetic commercial when they get the third.

131
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 3: My favorite text of the when the Dodgers went down

132
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 3: and everybody started to freak out, is this very ailed

133
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 3: World War II reference. Admiral Yamamoto was one of the

134
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: most powerful war admirals of the twentieth century. Japanese admiral

135
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: who did battle with the US Navy, of course, and

136
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 3: when Yamamoto had that error, well, error inflicted on him

137
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: by Tie tried to screw him again exactly. This says

138
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: my battleship.

139
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: Pretty good.

140
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 3: That put a smile on life. But most people probably

141
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: don't get it. But anyway, it is a very very

142
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 3: special time. We have this time every time of year.

143
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: The city's angst, the city's celebration, let me walk in

144
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 3: like a rooster, the city's hopes and dreams. Broadcasters trying

145
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: to one up each other as far as who they're

146
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 3: friends with on the Dodgers and who's going to play

147
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: better than the other guy. And it's all coming together

148
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 3: on the Petros and Money Show. And I don't know

149
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: what I expected, because I don't remember what's happened in

150
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: the past when the Dodgers win the wild card round

151
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 3: or the format or whatever it is. But there was

152
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: an explosion last night in the in the clubhouse. I

153
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: guess it wasn't even in the clubhouse. The Dodgers. Yeah,

154
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 3: they tarped off the batting cage and threw a party

155
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 3: there and it really blew up. That's Blake trying to scream,

156
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: screaming like he's in the Cobra Kai watching Daniel LaRusso

157
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 3: hit his legs swept sprang David Mass which what seems

158
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 3: to be like a fire hydrant knocked off.

159
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: I mean it was. It was cartoonish. It was Looney

160
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: Tune's ask Woody Woodpecker bugs Bunny taking the soda bottles

161
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: spray to the face where Dave is just trying to

162
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: gather himself to find you know, what the hell is

163
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: going on as he is being sprayed with so much

164
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: I mean so much force. I don't know what kind

165
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: of bottle of champagne. How hard Blake trying to manage

166
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: to shake that thing up. You can hear it like

167
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: it really like you can actually hear in this sound bite. No, no, no,

168
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 2: don't do the fake spray, Ronnie. Listen. You can actually

169
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 2: hear the spray. Listen to that. You can hear it's

170
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 2: so hard.

171
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 3: Dave is wearing it in the face, which is ironic

172
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: because Ronnie just used the fake spray.

173
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: Right.

174
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 3: We used to use the Seltzer bottle, like the old

175
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 3: timey Seltzer bottle back when Dave first started traveling with

176
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 3: the Dodgers. You know, we would ask Dave a question like, gosh,

177
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: you know, what do you think of doing this? It

178
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 3: seems like that you'd be like, you're totally rude, and.

179
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: That would be like yeah, and there's the sound of back, yes,

180
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 2: the soda bottle to the face. And yet Dave was

181
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: the one.

182
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 3: You exclusive. That's Blake trying and just blowing Dave up.

183
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 3: This text says I'm gay and I wouldn't be caught

184
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 3: dead doing that dance. I'm not on the Dodgers though. Yeah,

185
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: that's the thing, my gay friend, if you were on

186
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 3: the Dodgers and you hit a.

187
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 2: Double, you're gonna do the dance.

188
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: You're gonna do a dance because they're all on the

189
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 3: dugout expecting you to do the dance.

190
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, shoey Otani is doing the dance. Shoel

191
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: Tani does the dance. You, our gay listener, are doing

192
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: the dance.

193
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that.

194
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 2: Like, I just saw Jackson Merrill get a double and

195
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 2: he painted his goatee with his pinkies. That's what he

196
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: did when he looked at the dugout. I don't know

197
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: what that is if there's an inside joke there for

198
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: the Padres, but every team seems to have some sort

199
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 2: of communication with the dugout after you get a hit

200
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: and typically it's something that I guess is meant for

201
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: that particular group of individuals and not for us.

202
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an inside joke for the team by the team.

203
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: Whether you're gay or straight.

204
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 3: Whether you're gay or straight, you're gonna be expected to

205
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 3: do it. Yeah. And the other thing is the lot

206
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: of the Instagram live fanfare that has come about from

207
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 3: David vass yesterday Matt Muney Smith. I mean, he wasn't

208
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 3: really inflammatory, but he wasn't as as confident in Blake

209
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 3: Snell as Vassay was in Game one. And after Blake

210
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 3: Snell shoved like he did in Game one or dealt

211
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 3: like he did in Game one, David Vassy, well, he

212
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 3: really put himself on display.

213
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 4: Let me walk in like a rooster.

214
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 5: I am stylin seven innings, nine strikeouts.

215
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 4: Winning Game one.

216
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 6: WHOA, that's right, snell Zilla baby.

217
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: Which I think like the thing that is out about

218
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: it is. Yeah, that's the result that we all wanted.

219
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 2: They were all none of us are are are bemoaning

220
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 2: the fact that Blake Snell pitched great, Like, oh man,

221
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: what a terrible outcome. Blake Snell was fantastic for seven

222
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: innings and pitched the Dodgers to a dominant victory in

223
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 2: Game one.

224
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 3: The stage was set, you know, the stage was set

225
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 3: for Daves destroy and strut.

226
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 2: He did.

227
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 3: He didn't quite look like Travolta at the end of

228
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 3: Staying Alive, but pretty close. This says what's worse, David

229
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: Vass trying to do a Rick Flair impression and strutting

230
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 3: on money like he's the cock of the Walk or

231
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,239
Speaker 3: Cocaine Kates doing his Peaky Blinders impression.

232
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 2: He gave us the worst jobs, Tony.

233
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 3: Tony, h The truth is I asked for Tim Kates

234
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 3: last week with Don McClain is going to join us

235
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 3: next because.

236
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: Now Kate's traveling, Dave's traveling. We got Spilly coming on

237
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 2: from MLB Radio and Apple TV. He's always great with us,

238
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: so he'll do the baseball look. Don McClain is a

239
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: championship coach pitch pitcher, so he knows a little something

240
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 2: about the seams as well.

241
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: But this is what I asked for, and Kate's never found.

242
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 3: I mean, Kate's is very busy right now and he's

243
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 3: got a Spectrum Sportsnet tonight, so damn tomorrow at six am.

244
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 3: But there was a moment last week on Friday where

245
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: Kate's broke in with his Irish English peaky blinders accent

246
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 3: and McClain went to please, And I feel like that

247
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 3: is a great moment. I don't know if it's as

248
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: great as you want an exclusive Dave with trying and doing.

249
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: That, or I mean it's every It's the Alpha Beta's

250
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: in Revenge of the Nerds, It's Bobby and Karate Kid,

251
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: it's whatever Ray in Better Off Dead. It is a

252
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: quint essential nineteen eighties, but shit in Weird Science Record,

253
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: Dave the reporter, the guy in a polo and slacks

254
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: with a microphone, and here comes the jock just humiliating

255
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: him with a fire hose of champagne, screaming in his face.

256
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 3: Now, some people say it was just the Reds. Calm down,

257
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 3: and I'm watching the rest of these wildcard series and

258
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 3: they're all huge nutcutters and everybody losing their minds, and

259
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: it seems like they're very competitive.

260
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 2: The Yeah, the Dodgers beat the Reds three to two,

261
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: then you can do the calm down. It's just the Reds.

262
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 3: The Reds didn't it didn't look like the chance like

263
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 3: it was, but they were scrappy.

264
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean the Dodgers still scored eighteen runs

265
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: in two games. It was like, yeah, they were supposed

266
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: to beat the snot out of the Reds and they

267
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 2: did and in the eighth inning. The Dodgers' bullpen had

268
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: issues in both games, but outside of that, it was like,

269
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: I know, the Textoso freaked out when when the Air

270
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: led to two runs and they were in a two

271
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: to nothing hole for the first four innings or two

272
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: to one and after the third, but you know, it

273
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: just never felt like that was really an issue. Like

274
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: it never felt when they were up eight two and

275
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 2: Sheen's having a meltdown on the mound. It's more like, damn,

276
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: what the hell with this bullpen? Like they can't find

277
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: anyone than holy crap, he's gonna blow this game and

278
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: they're gonna screw this whole thing up, and Otani's gonna

279
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: have to pick you know what I mean, Like it's yeah,

280
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 2: whereas all of these Last night, I was listening to

281
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: the Yankee game on the way home, and I mean

282
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 2: their play by play guy is losing his freaking mind

283
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: on every pitch, like cannot control himself, can't contain himself,

284
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 2: like it's the World Series.

285
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 3: I guess it might as well be. And Matt. There's

286
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 3: been some pushback as well. This is hey, pe, I've

287
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 3: known Vassa for years, family friends since grammar school, but

288
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 3: I no longer like him after the rooster sounds for shame,

289
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 3: Dave's a douchebag.

290
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 4: Now, I don't think you're like a rooster.

291
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 3: I don't think that's fair. No, I really don't.

292
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's that behavior, you know, if he doesn't

293
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: gass up the jet that if that doesn't happen, we

294
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 2: don't get this. It's because he behaves like that that

295
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: the players come back, you know, by throwing their wet

296
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: shirt on his head after clinching the division and spraying

297
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: him with a fire hose of champagne after they win

298
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 2: the wildcard.

299
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 3: That was a great three hours of scam. This morning

300
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 3: I heard Jay Hare on there with Tim Kats and

301
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 3: Steve Sachs. Scam. We'll be back tomorrow at six. We

302
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 3: have Spilly today, we have Don McClain today, we have

303
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 3: three things Thursday. Today. We have a Petrosen money film

304
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 3: to our corner today. So a lot of stuff. This

305
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: text says, Hey, Pete, I like Dave he gives great

306
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: Dodger insight. But what I seen that clip of him

307
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 3: strutting in I don't know how Matt had the restraint

308
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 3: not to just punch him into face. Now that come on, now,

309
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 3: that would be terrible. It would be terrible. I mean,

310
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 3: that would set a terrible tone.

311
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: I got a handful of that on the direct message

312
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: of f that guy. I can't believe he did that.

313
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 3: I liked it.

314
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 2: I love Dave, We love Dave, the players love Dave.

315
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 2: We are so fortunate to have this freaking goof as

316
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 2: our embedded reporter, for the players to treat like a

317
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 2: little bit of a whipping boy while at the same

318
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 2: time a friend, and also give him exclusive access that

319
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: I don't think any other embedded reporter gets from their team.

320
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: They are not getting that with Clayton.

321
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 3: You could talk about Alana Rizzo eating lunch with the

322
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 3: Philly fanatic all you want, but it's not the same.

323
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 2: No, it's not close. And so I'm happy to wear

324
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: it every now and have Dave do a Rick Flair

325
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: wu in my face and give me the Snailzilla hello,

326
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 2: because you get the benefit of him being you know,

327
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 2: willing and and he is willing to wear it. That's

328
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: the one thing about Dave is he will he'll wear it.

329
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: He'll let Blake try and freaking blow him down with

330
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 2: a fire hose of champagne. While you know, when Jossi

331
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: Elpwig dumps a bucket of cold water on Bill, it's

332
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: a completely different deal.

333
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 3: I ended up being a bad situation.

334
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a bad deal.

335
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 3: So I guess overall, everybody feels great about last night.

336
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 3: Everybody feels great about the fact that the Dodgers got

337
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 3: it cleaned up in two games and are headed out

338
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 3: to Philly with a chance to.

339
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 2: Did you talk to your dad this morning?

340
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 3: My dad last night was upset that ti Oscar was

341
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 3: getting so much blame for dropping that ball. My father

342
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: blamed the twilight sky right and the odd start time

343
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 3: of the game. And of course, you know, we're in

344
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 3: the midst of succumbing to daylight savings here in southern California.

345
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: Get ready for darkness, imprisoning us all that you see,

346
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 2: absolute darkness.

347
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I hate to read this text, but because

348
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 3: it's wrong. You know, David Vasse creates half our content

349
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 3: when it comes to the Dodgers. Yeah, we need it.

350
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: This is smell is an amazing talent. I'm glad he's

351
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 3: in La so we don't have to face him. But

352
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 3: Dave is a useless He's of crab hanging out of

353
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 3: a dog's ass. I hate that. F and guy F

354
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 3: Dave F Dave F Dave F Dave F Dave F. Day.

355
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 3: You get where I'm coming from. Yeah, and you're wrong.

356
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could not be more wrong.

357
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 3: Dave creates the personality Listen, and I'm being dead serious.

358
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 3: I was listening last night to because it's must listen

359
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 3: when the Dodgers clinched something or win a series, let

360
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: alone the World Series by God last year. But when

361
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: David Vasse is in there during a celebration, the personality

362
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 3: of the players comes out, and the personality even of

363
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 3: the front office comes out. Like last night, he was

364
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 3: talking to Will Smith and his last question to Will

365
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 3: Smith was do you need me to be a throwing

366
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 3: partner with you to work on that that hairline fracture

367
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 3: in your hand out in Philadelphia? And Will Smith's answer

368
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: was no, you're not the guy. And then that was

369
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 3: the end of the inner. And it goes back to

370
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 3: Rick Monday and Steven Nelson, who are like forty years

371
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 3: apart in age, and they're both laughing, gutturally laughing and

372
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 3: enjoying the moment, and the same thing with Andrew Friedman.

373
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 3: Dave said, hey, do you want to hug it out?

374
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 3: And Andrew Friedman said no, I'm good, and they go

375
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 3: right back and they're laughing. They're having a great time.

376
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 3: It's a long night. It's a long season. These people

377
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 3: around each other all the time. I mean, we do

378
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 3: football and you work. You know, I don't even work

379
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 3: once a week, but you work once a week with

380
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 3: the same group of people, and sometime around October it

381
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 3: gets to be a real grind, you know, everybody gets

382
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 3: tired of each other. Imagine baseball every day and what

383
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: it's like. What David Vasse brings out in people with

384
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 3: his attitude, with his overall ability to be the butt

385
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 3: of a joke and a joker at the same time.

386
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 3: It really is a special thing.

387
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 2: And it's nothing against I'm not trying to take a

388
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 2: shot here, but.

389
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 3: By anybody else doing the job. They just can't do

390
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 3: it like that.

391
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: Kirston will do a fine interview, it's not David Vesse

392
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: because they'll ping pong Dave and Kirsten back and forth

393
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: with different players, right, and it's just a completely different experience.

394
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 2: I mean, he's got Clayton Kershaw saying he barely wants

395
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,479
Speaker 2: to have pants on. It's Clayton a first ballot best

396
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 2: player pitcher, I should say of his era in the

397
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: moment of a celebration, saying, no, Dave, I don't want

398
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 2: my shirt back. I barely want to wear pants.

399
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and his unathletic ass. As you pointed out, Matt

400
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 3: broke his arm off for this team, right, so everybody

401
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: could have a laugh for content. I mean, he really

402
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 3: did an amazing job last night. Now, is Dave able

403
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 3: to clean up the bullpen?

404
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: No, no, but don't take that out of him. No,

405
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 2: has and the bullpen and the issues in the bullpen

406
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 2: are likely a big reason why someone's got to blow

407
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: off a little bit of steam. That's what happens, you know.

408
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 2: The bullpen had a rough go against the Reds. Everything

409
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: else was great. Mookie looks like a freaking world beater.

410
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 2: Otani two home runs, tailed two home runs, The starters

411
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: were both exceptional, Yamamoto and Snell. And what's the one

412
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: thing that people are saying after the series, like, uh,

413
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 2: freaking bullpen again, and so here's Dave talking to Max

414
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 2: Muntsey and up comes someone from the the basically the

415
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 2: father of the bullpen, Blake trying in World Series EUO

416
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 2: last year, blowing off a little steam for the bullpen

417
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: by spraying Dave down with a whole bottle of cooks.

418
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 3: Champage's not gooding. It really was what the job Dave does,

419
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 3: his very specs and the really, honestly, there's nothing comparable

420
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 3: in sports. And that really is true. I mean it really,

421
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 3: for all the fun we have and all the joking

422
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 3: and all that stuff, if we didn't have Dave covering

423
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 3: the Dodgers, we wouldn't cover the Dodgers like we cover

424
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 3: the Dodgers. And I think we cover the Dodgers pretty

425
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 3: damn well in our way. I hate to be so serious,

426
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 3: but there was a real, a real indicator last night

427
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 3: that we're not getting half the stuff that we get.

428
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 3: If it wasn't for that fleshy goofy half Persian, half

429
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 3: Italian from the Valley gas up the jet Valley.

430
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 4: Let me walk in like a rooster.

431
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 5: I am stylin seven innings, nine strikeouts, winning Game one.

432
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 6: WHOA, that's right, snail Zilla baby.

433
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 2: And I did see It's like, you can't make this show.

434
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 3: I watched that like five times. Yeah, and I shouldn't.

435
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 3: I mean I shouldn't.

436
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: I was there, right, It's the way he struts. There

437
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 2: is something about it that I can't get enough of.

438
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 2: But I'd like to point out, like you can't make

439
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 2: it up. We make fun of Dave and and Blake

440
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 2: Snell and his I am if you want me to

441
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 2: be dog? And then the Dodgers post him and Sonny

442
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: from you know, Tottenham now LAFC and he walks up

443
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 2: and he's like, what's up, my dog? That's really that's

444
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: that's how you're doing this.

445
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 3: We wouldn't know the personality of these players half as

446
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 3: much as we do. No, if if it really if

447
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 3: it was not for Dave, help him, if you want

448
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 3: to be helping them to show their personality to the city,

449
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: and that goes a long way. I mean, Joe Kelly

450
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 3: threw out the first pitch the other day. Joe Kelly

451
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 3: is an ex reliever on this team. He made a

452
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 3: face at a Houston Astro player. I mean it's not

453
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 3: like he closed down a World Series game or anything

454
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 3: like that. For the Dodgers. If anything. He was one

455
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 3: of their most hated opponents when he was a starter.

456
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 3: But Joe Kelly is a beloved figure why because of

457
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 3: the personality he showed to the fan base. Why here

458
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 3: in the city, And David Vassey does nothing but help

459
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 3: facilitate that with every single person. So we will talk

460
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 3: to Don McClain next. We will have a top story

461
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 3: which has three things. Thursday, a film no Our Corner,

494
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know, and I wonder. I'm wondering pee and

495
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 8: you and I talked about it off the air if

496
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 8: people have noticed that you've forgot, not forgot, but not

497
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 8: including one of the titles I used to have, And

498
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 8: I guess we should address it now that I'm no

499
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 8: longer doing the Clipper shows. Unfortunately contract was renewed, and

500
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 8: yes they're moving in a different direction. But I just

501
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 8: want to say, you know, I work with so many

502
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 8: great people on that show. I did it for over

503
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 8: twenty years, starting with half John Hefner, who who all

504
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 8: your listeners know, Micah King, and those guys in the

505
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 8: front office, if you will, but a lot of camera people,

506
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 8: people on air that I worked with, a lot of

507
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 8: people behind the scenes. We did really good work for

508
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 8: a long time. And as you guys know, the business

509
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 8: is changing and the Clipper shows have changed hands a

510
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 8: couple of times already, and so not surprising that they're

511
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 8: going in a different direction. But I just wanted to

512
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 8: make sure that I thanked all those people that I

513
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 8: work with for so long, especially Darryl Lewis, who produced

514
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 8: that show for almost as long as I was on

515
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 8: and did a great job and still continues to do

516
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 8: a great job on Angels and other stuff he does.

517
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 8: But yeah, we're moving on. I won't miss the drive,

518
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 8: but I'll miss a lot of the people.

519
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, well out of yeah, I was going to say,

520
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 3: you know that drive down the one line.

521
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 2: It was one of the reasons to watch. It was

522
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 2: really the main reason to watch Clipper basketball.

523
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, to watch Don mcclass and his insights before and

524
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 3: middle and after the game, and especially back when there

525
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 3: was different left leadership and Don used to do the

526
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 3: fourth order or do a different quarter with Ralph Lawler.

527
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 3: A lot of stuff. What is your I mean, We're

528
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 3: going to continue to talk and ask about the Clippers

529
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 3: and the Lakers and all that here on the show,

530
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 3: But what what what do you think is the most

531
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 3: impactful thing you'll remember about working there or working with

532
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 3: all these different people, ownership changes, the whole crazy story.

533
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 8: You know, I've thought about it, Pee, and I think

534
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 8: that that that one sticks out the most. Was the

535
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 8: ownership change in that whole ordeal with Donald Sterling and

536
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 8: what happened and led to him being bounced out of

537
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 8: the NBA and Steve Baldmer coming in. I think I'll

538
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 8: remember that the most. I feel like those were you know,

539
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 8: we used to goof around a lot on that show

540
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 8: in the early days because the Clippers weren't very good,

541
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 8: and so yeah, we used to have free rain to

542
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 8: do whatever we want. And it seemed like once Steve

543
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 8: Balmer got involved, he got serious because he was spending

544
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 8: money and bringing in good players, and they had Chris

545
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 8: Paul and Lob City and all that stuff, and so

546
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 8: it turned into more of a real basketball at that point.

547
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 8: But it doesn't mean it was better or worse. It

548
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 8: just meant that it was more serious because the Clippers

549
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 8: were contenders. Unfortunately, they haven't gotten over the hump all

550
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 8: these years, but it looks like they have a chance

551
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,479
Speaker 8: this year. I remember a lot of that stuff, you know,

552
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 8: from the playoff games, and but really that that's the

553
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 8: one time that really stands out if I think back

554
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 8: over twenty years.

555
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,479
Speaker 2: So it's an interesting moment for them, don and you know,

556
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: you're I don't know how this thing is going to

557
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 2: get resolved. If it's going to get resolved, they don't

558
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 2: want to talk about it. Yet everybody continues to ask

559
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,239
Speaker 2: the questions, do you think the league will come out

560
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: and make some sort of definitive statement. Do you think

561
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: they'll try to just ignore it and hope it goes away? Ultimately?

562
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 2: How do you think it ends with the Clippers and Kawhi,

563
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: and this Pablo Tory has not given up. Man. He's

564
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: now tying charity checks of one point eight million to

565
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: the Sandberg guy who ran the company's charity fund that

566
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 2: tied directly to Kwili. It's getting gnarly now.

567
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 8: It is mad. But I just have this weird feeling

568
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 8: that it just goes away. I mean, maybe there's enough

569
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 8: evidence that Adam Silver gets put in the bind and

570
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 8: he's got to come down with some with some punishment.

571
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 8: But here's what I wonder, and we don't know because

572
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 8: no one's really spoke on except for Cuban, but he's

573
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 8: not an owner anymore. Is Adam Silver getting pressure from

574
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 8: the other teams? That's the question, you know, is he

575
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 8: getting pressure from all these teams say, wait a second,

576
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 8: if they circumvented the cap, there has to be punishment

577
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 8: or else we're going to do it. So that's the

578
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 8: hard part in all this is what are all the

579
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 8: other teams thinking and saying to the NBA in Adam Silver, like,

580
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 8: you have to there's enough evidence out there that you

581
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 8: have to punish them. But we'll see what happens.

582
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 3: Maybe Steve Boma gives them somebody too, that would work.

583
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: He's got enough of it. You know, maybe he could

584
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: give the w NBA some money and then that way,

585
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 2: you know, it's just kind of his three way.

586
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 8: Deal works exactly exactly.

587
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 2: We were playing some sound from Laker Media Day last week.

588
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 2: I don't know it was earlier this week. Actually was

589
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: DeAndre Ayton and he was talking about I don't know

590
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 2: if you were listening to the show at the time,

591
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,479
Speaker 2: but the clip was basically ate and talking about the offense,

592
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: and he said, well, you know, it's a two man game.

593
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 2: It's it's me and Luca, And then he talked about

594
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 2: how they were in the same draft and how lucas

595
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 2: the face of the league and how his job is

596
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 2: to make it easy for Luca. Do you think there's

597
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 2: any that there could be any issue with Lebron? And

598
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 2: because Maxi Kleeber then came in and gave that same

599
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: sort of thing and tried to circle back and bring

600
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 2: up Lebron as well. Do you think that in his

601
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 2: twenty third season, Lebron is the kind of person that

602
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 2: would say, yeah, I'm forty years old, it's you know,

603
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 2: this is the guy. Or do you think that could

604
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 2: be an issue for the Lakers.

605
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 8: I don't think he's the kind. I don't think he's

606
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 8: at the point in his career. Matt Well, he'll come

607
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 8: out and say anything. The question is in the locker

608
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 8: room what's being said. But I do think this. I

609
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 8: think Lebron, I mean, twenty three years is incredible for

610
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,479
Speaker 8: any guy in any sport to still be playing. I

611
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 8: think what Lebron really wants, and he's a smart guy.

612
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 8: What he wants is this to transition into Luca's team,

613
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 8: But he wants to win going out. And I do

614
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 8: think for all the and I've said this and you

615
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 8: guys have said it for years, how polarizing Lebron is.

616
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 8: But I do think that, you know, listening to him

617
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 8: all these years, I do I would bet that that

618
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 8: is his stance that, look, yeah, I'm not the main guy,

619
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 8: Luca is, but let's win this thing before I retire.

620
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 8: That that has to be kind of his stance on

621
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 8: all this.

622
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 3: You've mentioned it, don don McLean joining us right now

623
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 3: on Petrosen money. The Clippers do look pretty good, like

624
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 3: they do all the time, you know, going into the season,

625
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 3: we talk about the Lakers at nauseum everybody does. Which

626
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 3: team looks better going into the season right now.

627
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 8: I think the Clippers are, assuming everyone's healthy and ready

628
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 8: to go. They're so deep, But what they did in

629
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 8: the offseason with Beal and Brook Lopez and John Collins,

630
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 8: I mean they are deep one through fifteen pretty much,

631
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 8: and so we know things go wrong. We know guys

632
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 8: get hurt, we know guys' rest, we know all that.

633
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 8: And if you have a really deep team, your margin

634
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 8: for air becomes much bigger. And I just think the

635
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 8: Clippers have a really big margin for air with the

636
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 8: roster that they built in the improvement Touba about how

637
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 8: the good he's gotten hardened kind of not resurrected, but

638
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 8: had a monster year last year, and so I just

639
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 8: think they got all the pieces. But the biggest thing

640
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 8: to me is the depth that they have across the board.

641
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 2: The it's not depth, but it's I guess it's a

642
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 2: collection of either well, we're looking at past accomplishments right

643
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 2: with the Lakers when because to me, I look at

644
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 2: him like, yeah, that they really needed Marcus Smart. So

645
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 2: is Marcus Smart still the player that I think he

646
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 2: is done a former Defensive Player of the Year, Because

647
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 2: they need that so desperately since nobody else is playing

648
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 2: any defense on the perimeter. And I mean, like we

649
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 2: talked about before when they signed eight and I was like, man,

650
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 2: I remember that Ayton, and that can be really good

651
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 2: if he gets his head on right. Yeah, more likely

652
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 2: or less likely that those are the guys we are

653
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 2: going to see.

654
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 8: See here's the thing, man, there's guys that are good

655
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 8: defenders that aren't talked about as being really good defenders.

656
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 8: Why because they're in a culture of non defense. And

657
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 8: I'm not saying that's the Lakers right now, but my

658
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 8: point is if your culture across the board in that

659
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 8: locker room, starting with the head coaches, we are going

660
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 8: to guard. We're going to be a good defensive team.

661
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 8: Then you get the best out of guys on the

662
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 8: defensive end, even guys that aren't known as good defenders.

663
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 8: If everyone else is guarding and you're the only one

664
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 8: that isn't, well either you're not going to play or

665
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 8: you're going to really guard. And so I think it's

666
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 8: important for JJ Reddick to set the tone that, look,

667
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 8: we got enough offense with all these guys, we have

668
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 8: to be really good defensively. And if that's the case,

669
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 8: I think a guy like Marcus Smart could raise back

670
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 8: to the level that he was at at one point

671
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 8: as a defender.

672
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 2: Don McLain with us see believe it or not. While

673
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 2: we are in the midst of the Dodgers march to

674
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 2: a World Series championship, basketball is back. The Lakers are

675
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 2: doing their standard barnstorming tour the Desert, Vegas, Santa Barbara,

676
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: all that sort of thing. The Clippers will get going

677
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 2: in about a week. Is it the usual? Is it

678
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 2: the Celtics in the East? Is it the thunder in

679
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,479
Speaker 2: the West or do you think it's a little more

680
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 2: wide open and it's not that similar.

681
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 8: I think the East is wide open. I mean wide

682
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 8: open because no Jason Tatum, he's saying it may come

683
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 8: back this year, but it ain't going to be like

684
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 8: before the All Star Break. I wouldn't imagine. So I

685
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 8: think Cleveland's got a really good chance. I think Orlando

686
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 8: improved themselves this offseason. The West is hard. I mean

687
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 8: you have to say that the thunder of the favorite.

688
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 8: But like the Clippers got better, the Lakers got better,

689
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 8: teams have gotten better, the Warriors even got better. And

690
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 8: so yes, yes, the thunder of the favorite right now,

691
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 8: But I think the West is going to be incredibly competitive,

692
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 8: and I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't the Thunder

693
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 8: the number one seed in the West.

694
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 3: Down by the time you stop calling college basketball games,

695
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 3: the tournament's going to have more teams that are playing

696
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 3: in Division One. They're expanding the tournament. It looks like

697
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 3: they're talking about expanding the tournament even more. I don't

698
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 3: know if these neutral site arenas are going to attract

699
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 3: fans for, you know, the fortieth seed. But what do

700
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 3: you make of I mean, obviously there's money to be

701
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 3: made with postseason college sports. We see it with the

702
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 3: football playoff, and the tournament is a huge money maker,

703
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 3: But is this watering it down too much?

704
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 8: Well, you just said it. Pe. They don't care. They

705
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 8: don't care if it waters it down or not. They're

706
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 8: going to make money off the TV deal. Even if

707
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 8: ten people show up to these regional sites, they're still

708
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 8: getting the TV money and that's all they care about.

709
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 8: And so it's unfortunate that that's what it's come to

710
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 8: all of college sports, that we don't care what the

711
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,760
Speaker 8: product really is as long as we can make more money.

712
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 8: But the tournament as perfect as it is. You know,

713
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 8: I think that the first four in games are fine,

714
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 8: but now you're stretching it to even more of those.

715
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 3: A separate tournament for the tournament.

716
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, Like it doesn't make any sense. We all

717
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 8: know why they're doing it, but you know what's the fallout?

718
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 8: Are people not going to watch it? Probably not? So

719
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 8: why not we go ahead and do it and make

720
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 8: more TV money?

721
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think you know. The way that it's being

722
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 2: described is that it would be twelve games, Like the

723
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 2: opening round isn't four, it's twelve. So it's a full on,

724
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 2: two day, six games a day affair. And I guess

725
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 2: the one is I'm trying to sort. I don't know

726
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 2: if you want to call it putting lipstick on a

727
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 2: pig or glasses half full. I do feel don and

728
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if you would agree. I feel like

729
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 2: college basketball is better. You know, the money that these

730
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 2: guys are getting paid, some guys are staying back. It

731
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 2: feels like we got more team teams that are a

732
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 2: little bit better. I really thought the tournament was incredibly

733
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 2: compelling this last year. Do you think that's fair? Like, hey,

734
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 2: maybe more games because I feel like it's a better

735
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 2: product than we had when these guys were all one

736
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 2: and done and.

737
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 8: It was Yeah, but this is like an hour conversation, Matt.

738
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 8: You know what I mean. It's like there's so many

739
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 8: different angles and ways to look at it. Is it

740
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 8: better that college basketball players are making over a million

741
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 8: dollars a year? Some would say yes, some would say no.

742
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 8: I do think you're right in the sense that it's

743
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 8: more competitive. Teams are better because you're playing with twenty

744
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 8: two and twenty three year olds. You're not playing with

745
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,919
Speaker 8: eighteen year olds. So their experience and matter how many

746
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,479
Speaker 8: schools they've already been at, they understand college basketball because

747
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 8: they've been in it for four or five years, and

748
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 8: so that seems like it's going to continue. They're talking

749
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 8: about having this new five years no matter what, so

750
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 8: you don't have to have a grad year. There's no

751
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 8: more COVID year. So now if you get five years, like,

752
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 8: everybody's going to be old, especial if you're making money.

753
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 8: And so I think from that, just what you said, Matt,

754
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 8: that standpoint, I think the product is better because you

755
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 8: have guys that have been in college for longer.

756
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 3: Great stuff. The product's always better when Don McClain joins

757
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 3: the show.

758
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 2: Especially on a Thursday.

759
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if it feels that way. Don

760
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 3: enjoyed the playoffs and we'll talk next week. Thanks a

761
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 3: lot for doing it.

762
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 8: Okay, guys see it.

763
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 3: Classy stuff on the Clippers too.

764
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 2: Indeed, you know me, I wouldn't have been classy. I'd

765
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 2: have been petty.

766
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 3: That's true.

767
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:31,760
Speaker 2: That's a true statement.

768
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 3: I haven't handled the challenge thing that well.

769
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have thought you'd have been a little

770
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 2: more gracious. They are celebrating twenty years, you know.

771
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, where's my where's my gratitude?

772
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 2: Just to ask Mario, he'll tell you.

773
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 3: We'll be right back with some reaction. We got a

774
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 3: lot of show. We got three things Thursday, Next Hour,

817
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 2: Ave pitch the seven?

818
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 3: You would right? Well, actually, I've never seen anybody have

819
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 3: a pitching performance and then act like that a day late.

820
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 3: That's fair, boy, you know that's not that's not acting

821
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 3: like a professional.

822
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 2: No, and none of us are professionals here, so.

823
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 3: Not not an athlete. Though I was there yesterday, the

824
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 3: sky was not an issue. Tao just prematurely squeezed his glove,

825
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 3: and that's not a euphanism. The guy next to me,

826
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 3: who played semi pro ball, looked up after the error

827
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 3: and said, Nope.

828
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 2: That is a pretty good euphemism. Though squeezed the glove

829
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 2: too early. What have made the catch, squeezed it too early.

830
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 3: I'm going to Game three, so just need to know

831
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 3: if I need a he lock. Listen, why he lock?

832
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 3: Because he asked pee in Dodger dollars? How many hundreds

833
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 3: of thousands of Michellatas have you drank for free while

834
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 3: at the suite? What's the postseason price right now? One

835
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,479
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty without tahen two hundred fifth.

836
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 2: I think meetches are close to thirty bucks now, aren't they.

837
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, I don't know what they are in the

838
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 3: dugout club three hundred, I don't know.

839
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:56,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe a little more.

Speaker 3: A lot of people still worried about that bullpen.

850
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 2: Matt, Yeah, understandably. We'll try to ease their concerns or

851
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 2: will be.

852
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:40,239

Speaker 3: I don't know what's gonna happen.

855
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 2: No, I don't think any of us do, but I

00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:55,680
