Today's word 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.440 of the day is confusion. I gotta go on a 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:45.599 little earlier with for playing for Matt the Colorado Rockies 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:50.400 song from the nineties by Ace Diamond, and that song 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:54.599 is called Baseball Song Rockies and it was kind of 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:58.160 like a Jerry Reid Willie Nelson sort of vibe and 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:02.640 lot of pyrote nicks in the song, a lot of excitement. 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:07.320 I would yeah, I would say enough heat and pyrotechnics 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.640 for sure, and Matt to melt all the snow that's 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.680 at Rocky Stadium, good call, like, uh course, field. 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.120 Excuse, let's get those guys back out there. 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.320 But there has been some confusion. I got a text 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.000 from a lot of people saying, hey, that's this, that's 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:30.119 a oh god, here it is excitement. Stop your feet 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:34.120 while you're rocking with the Rockies. Just try and stop us. 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:49.279 If you did, damn it another whole fun We've gotta 0:05:49.400 --> 0:06:04.600 when I hear this time. But a lot of people. 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:07.880 Say that's something song. 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.839 Well, no people are saying, is that by the same 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:17.800 It's Ace Diamond, not to be confused with Ace of Diamond, 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:24.280 which is Japanese News a Japanese baseball theme manga series 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:29.360 in anime about a baseball guy. 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.000 It's much are they pretty easy to not confuse those two. 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:39.839 The series follows June Samamura, a pitcher which an unusual 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:44.440 pitching style that causes the ball to move unpredictably at 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.160 the plate. And you're saying, well, how many episodes can 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.279 you get out of that? So, if you're a Japanese 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:56.480 manga company or something, one hundred and twenty six episodes, yeah, 0:06:56.480 --> 0:07:06.080 I can see that, and a hundred and twenty nine. 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:09.600 Manga series publication. I wonder if they swing this time, 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.720 will they hit it? I wonder there's a summer tournament 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:23.520 their school involved the Ace of Diamond time and there 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.080 is going to be a sequel. 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:30.080 Coming out in April twenty twenty six on TV Tokyo. 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:37.720 Wasn't enough. We weren't more than the story. 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:38.840 More than one. I mean, we got a lot of 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:42.360 Japanese listeners, and I think it's under no, uh, it's 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:47.520 not a small coincidence. Because of our new Japanese news jingle. 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.880 I think we have a lot of Japanese listeners. And 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.680 when they heard Ace Diamond, a lot of people thought 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:57.440 of Ace of Diamond, which is that Japanese manga or 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:03.040 anime series about a bay small pitcher, undoubtedly inspired by 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:06.280 Jdeo Nomo or Sho Hao Tani or just the fact 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:10.880 that baseball is very popular in Japan. So not the same. 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:15.440 Just to came, no, it's not the same at all. 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:20.240 The two things are totally unrelated. Ace Diamond is not 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:24.480 the same as Ace of Diamond, the manga series in 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:29.360 hopone Kyviva hoppone. And nobody keeps up with Japanese news 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.240 better than us. Nobody's on top of it harder than 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:36.280 we are, because we understand that times are changing, and 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.679 that's where the bread is buttered for the los Angeles Dodges. 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.840 Where have all the Vokaro's gone? They've gone to Japan 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.880 and Mono. All right, it's time to the number of 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:47.319 the day. Here's my number. 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:49.319 Number of the. 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.960 Day for the day is seven h seven days ago. 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:58.840 Even when he's not on the ear to put it 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:03.319 on record and make a fool of me, why what happened? 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.920 Vic still haunts me with his proclamations. 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.560 How many times I saw you were texting with Vic 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.400 because we told that story on Monday? 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:15.040 Right, Yeah, I text with Vic every day. He listens 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.880 to the show in its entirety every day. He says, 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:23.560 he and Uk draw great inspiration and happiness from it, 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:27.920 so we're happy we can provide that to them. Typically 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:32.480 sends me in lightning quotes and messages every day. It's wonderful. 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:34.439 Well, I think that, you know, it's really kind of 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:35.959 shown a change in you, Matt. 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:40.960 But he's made a fool of me many times. 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:42.160 What happened? Now? 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.560 The man is omniscient. You think I would have accepted 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:50.600 it by now over what a decade and a half 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:54.160 of moments that I question of his all knowing nature. 0:09:55.520 --> 0:10:03.880 So last Friday, Vic, you freaking harbinger of doom. Vic 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.760 must have been watching a news story seven days ago. 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:12.560 A week ago, at eight forty one pm, Vic texts me, 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:19.199 oney month, if you're surfing, watch out for the jellyfish 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:24.640 Shaw two exclamation points.

And I'm thinking, 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:44.360 does this old fool think I'm surfing at Florida jellyfish? 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:48.120 So today I'm out there. I haven't touched the sand 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.680 since I paddled out. About an hour into me being 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:56.719 in the water, I say to Joe Kwan, I think 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.640 I got tagged by a freaking ray.

Dodgers Baseball tonight, we're on a 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:36.120 little early because they're in Colorado. We will be flexed 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:43.680 back on Monday as well, and Waller they'll still be 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:52.160 in Colorado. Talk about a moment of suspended time. Dodgers 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.640 are on Take a four thirty with the one and 0:15:54.720 --> 0:16:01.920 only Yim Yates first pitch. That's five forty from beautiful Colorado. 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.680 But right now we can all sit tight and enjoy 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.680 each other's company. Before the game starts. It's time for 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:12.120 the top story of the day to story of it. 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:16.880 Well, we really got ourselves in a pickle here, pe. 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:18.920 I believe it's called a rundown. 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:23.880 Eh, it's pickle. What do we want? What? 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:26.760 Just a little piece? I don't know. 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:31.680 What do we want to come out of a series 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:37.760 that starts tomorrow and stretches until May third, ohn't go 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:39.040 all seven games? 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:43.480 This is about the Lakers in Houston. Yes, KD versus 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:44.840 Lebron James. 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:50.760 Because thanks to the aforementioned Lebron James and the headlines 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:55.120 surrounding a meeting between the Lakers and the Rockets, and 0:16:55.240 --> 0:17:01.120 two superstars of their eras a combined seventy eight years 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.320 old going into this one, you would think there would 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:08.280 be plenty of headlines that could help tell the tale 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.040 of which one of these two squads a four or 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:16.040 five supposed to be the tightest matchup, the closest in seeding, 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:20.399 the closest in record in the first round of the playoffs. 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:26.480 But instead I got a headline that reads, Lebron looks 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:28.840 forward to sharing floor with BRONI in the playoffs. 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.320 It's the best. It's the best thing that's ever happened 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:36.600 to him. 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:41.040 Matt Well, that's the quote from Gabron Lames quote. Blow, 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.439 it's the best thing that ever happened to me in 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:48.680 my career. And we've said this before. I believe that 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:52.400 I think for once, Lebron is being honest and sincere 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.560 when he says playing in the NBA with your son 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:59.080 on the floor together is the best thing. If he is, 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:03.680 and he seems like a supportive and loving father, I hope. 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:07.240 He's enjoying it, Yeah, because it's ruined a lot of 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.320 his reputation for a lot of people. 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:14.639 And had he just ended with that, cool, but of 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:20.240 course he follows it up with he's put himself in 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.840 a position to get his number called for a postseason game. 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:29.359 That's pretty remarkable, pretty cool given the circumstances that he's 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:33.919 been given the last couple of years. Now when he 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:37.199 adds that sentence to the end, of course we're be 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:39.879 in real a holes if we push back because of 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:43.399 medical scare. Yeah, if he was going to survive, let 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:45.560 alone continue to play basketball, so. 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.480 It's not have open heart surgery, which is what a 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.040 lot of people say, just and everybody just. 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:54.240 A transplant got a pig heart in there. Now, could 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:55.000 have seen that coming. 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.560 They're trying to rewrite. Remember when all of the proxies 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:01.280 were saying, you know, he's earned it, opportunity. They even 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.320 had JJ Reddick saying it well, and now they're trying 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:05.080 to say it again. 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:07.520 I'm glad you said that, pee because had he ended 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:11.560 the quote there, even then we couldn't push back. I'll 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:15.880 push back, but it's Jabron Lames and of course he's 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:18.639 gonna take it too far. And instead of putting a 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:24.399 period after pretty cool. Given the circumstances he's been given 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:28.840 the last couple of years, he adds he's earned it, 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:33.760 he deserves it, and he'll be ready. 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:39.520 Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna tell this story the way I 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:41.840 want to tell it, you know. I mean, LaVar Ball 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:45.680 did it first. He did, and his kids out there 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:46.639 acting like a clown. 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:54.240 The story follows that quote with this paragraph, or I 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.160 should say this sentence. In the Lakers' final six games, 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.760 Brownie James averaged seven point two points on forty seven 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:02.520 per shooting, with two assists and one rebound in seventeen 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:06.960 minutes per night. And I was talking to someone a 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:10.800 couple days ago, so it actually I do hate doing this. 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:13.760 It's someone who happens to play golf where they do, 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.720 and they mention that they've had a couple interactions with 0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:21.320 both lebron and Bronnie and said that Bronnie is as 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:23.400 great a kid as you could be around, that he's 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:26.080 incredibly polite, that any kid that comes up to him 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:28.360 and wants to take a photo or talks to him, 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:32.000 he gives them multiple minutes, that he genuinely seems like 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:35.800 a kind hearted soul. But then, of course you watch 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:38.520 his dad, and you watch his dad on the Bob 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:41.320 does golf videos, and the shots are so tight and 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:44.600 his swing is so bad, and on a production that 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:48.199 routinely makes fun of each member when they crap the 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:50.919 bed and get upset and play horrible golf, to have 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:54.480 this guy who is awful at golf. It is clear 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:58.080 from his swing that they could not show a single swing, 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.480 not a moment of self debthation about how hard that 0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:07.840 stupid sport is because he can't take it. Understand, this 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:14.440 is all directed at Brownie's father, not at him. One sorry, kid, 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:16.720 your dad's an a hole and he puts you in 0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:19.080 a really bad spot and you're just gonna have to 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:19.480 wear it. 0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:22.600 Because seems like a nice enough kid. Yeah, it seems 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.600 like a nice enough kid who would be in a 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:28.800 great position right now. We're at a at a good college, 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:33.680 developing as a person and playing basketball at a high level. 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:38.639 Right Why couldn't you have that The averages that we 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:43.560 mentioned pee that they decided to print those final six games. 0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:45.399 Of course, one of them came in the game in 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:49.600 which Luka Doncic was hurt. His best effort the regular 0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:53.240 season finale eleven points in nineteen minutes and four assists 0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:55.600 against a tanking Jazz team that featured let me know 0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:58.280 if you've heard of any of these players, Blake Hinson, 0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:05.760 Cody Williams, Oscar shibou Bezbang. I know Oscar should be 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:13.639 Hayden Gray and John Conscharu. He did play a solid 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:17.840 game against the Warriors without Steph for Jimmy Butler, but 0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:21.280 he was and tip your cap to that fine, but 0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:23.480 they didn't trust him. Against Dallas in a must win game, 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:27.000 he barely played, and then he padded his stats in 0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:31.520 a twenty three minute effort and a fifty point loss 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:35.240 to the Thunder and eighteen minutes of garbage time after 0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:40.280 Luca was hurt, and a forty point loss to the Thunder. 0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:43.840 That is how you get to seven point two points, 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:47.880 two assists, and a rebound in seventeen minutes. Because when 0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:51.800 you dig deeper into that story, the paragraph reads, the 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:55.480 number fifty five pick in the twenty twenty four draft 0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:59.520 has progressed from his rookie to sophomore campaigns, finishing this 0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:04.679 season averaging two point nine points on forty one percent 0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:08.280 shooting and one point two assists, up from two point 0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:11.280 three points on thirty one percent shooting. 0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:13.760 Well, that's what they're talking about. He's earned it. 0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:19.560 So you're telling me from his rookie to his sophomore 0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:22.000 campaign in the NBA, he's gone from two point three 0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:23.080 to two point nine. 0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:25.399 It's sort of like a point. It's sort of like 0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:27.919 a plumber. It's like a plumber that you call to 0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:30.840 fix a faucet and he turns on the water and 0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:33.400 there's just like a little drip of water and he goes, look, 0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:36.639 it's not fixed. It about got it like yet. No, No, 0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:39.600 you're trying to speak it into existence of being fixed. 0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:40.640 It's not fixed. 0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:45.960 Yeah, And that's why it's hard. Again. I think we 0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:49.960 both agree it'd be wonderful if Bronnie was great for himself. 0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:53.879 Sounds like he shouldn't have to pay for his pops 0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:57.280 being an absolute nightmare of an individual and an athlete 0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:01.920 and a public figure and a power brokeoker in his sport. 0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:07.720 And it's freaking hard. And the thing is, if they 0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:14.480 don't play well, if lebron is terrible, f Houston, I mean, 0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:18.840 f that city. Nine ways to Tomorrow. I know we 0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:23.520 got sirlin Oh love Lance, but you know the Dodgers 0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:26.800 have rivalries with the Giants, The Lakers have rivalries with 0:24:26.840 --> 0:24:30.040 Boston and the Celtics. More recent ones for the Dodgers 0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:32.919 San Diego, of course, the Padres and football. You got 0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:37.000 the forty nine Ers and the Chiefs. But Houston, for 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:40.679 the fans of everything here in LA should top them 0:24:40.720 --> 0:24:44.280 all for the history of time, because their fans should 0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:47.879 enjoy nothing because of what complete and total a holes 0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:53.639 they were about twenty seventeen, completely unapologetic a holes to 0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:56.640 the Dodgers when they came to town about a World 0:24:56.760 --> 0:25:01.000 Series that was flat out stolen, a moment of glory 0:25:01.280 --> 0:25:05.200 for Clayton Kershaw that saw him living in a nightmare. 0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:08.640 After a Game one, seven innings of three hit, one 0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:12.800 run ball, Dodgers have a lead in Game two, felt 0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:15.280 like this was going to be the Kershaw playoff moment 0:25:15.320 --> 0:25:18.119 that we've longed for for all these years. The best 0:25:18.119 --> 0:25:21.240 pitcher in baseball's regular season was finally going to have 0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:25.240 after a brilliant run to the twenty seventeen World Series, 0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:27.800 a complete playoff run. 0:25:28.000 --> 0:25:32.399
