Speaker 2 (01:17):
You want so cragging everybody, and welcome back.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
It is the one and only petro Send Money Show
on M five seventy LA Sports, your home of the Dodgers.
Dodgers win, they win a big game in Colorado. Wasn't
a big game, No, but Clayton Kershaw got closer looked
like he was going to get to the eight strikeouts,
but gave up a solo home run. But they took
him out so they can create a home game excitement
(01:45):
type of deal when the Dodgers play the White Sox
next week here in town. Now the Dodgers are in
Kansas City starting tomorrow, we will have a flex Alert show.
We'll start at too and we'll have Don McClain. And
Don mcclan is a draft expert. The draft is going
(02:05):
on right now. Starts at oh, it starts at six,
starts at five.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Well.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Don had six of his nine guys taken in the
first round.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Rag, how about this, Jonas.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Six of his nine guys.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
You've been around long enough, Jonas Knox is here, thank god.
And you've been around long enough Jonas to know that
Don McClain got a little bit of a chap in
his ass, yea.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, but he's you know, he's got an edge. Yeah.
And you know Kate's always tries.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Is like last night before the draft, you know, and
draft night, as McLain has has discussed, you know, he's
very invested in the draft. He trains guys, spends months
with them. For CAA, he had Cooper Flag as one
of his guys. But his thing is get me these
guys and we're going to improve their draft status, and
year in and year out, he's been able to do that,
(02:54):
get guys drafted higher than where they were projected. And
he's really one of the best in the business. And
it's way beyond what he does here. Uh. I mean,
I've had Don on the radio on radio shows I've
worked on for twenty twenty three years, twenty four years,
I mean, and and of course he's great at calling
games and doing stuff like that, but this individual type
(03:16):
of draft prep coaching is a real niche for him.
And Kate's always trying to be cool, you know, trying
to relate because Don is in tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I'm supportive too, though, Petros, there's nothing phony about that.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Now.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I'm not saying it's phony. I'm just saying Kate's you know,
text Don like, hey, good.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Luck, I said, a happy NBA draft. Hope your guys
go early and often, and.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I'm like, okay, well, now you know.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
I see im FASB's everybody.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
And Don, even though he's admitted y'all get pretty nervous
on draft night, don't lie having a ready over, you
know with the kids. You know, they had friends over,
and you know we stop that quick because you know,
I get uh, you know, I get a little uh.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You know.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
So he's admitted, you know, he's a little on edge,
you know, if his guys don't get picked.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
And it's like, you know, use baseball, barbecues in golf.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
It's like, that's not messed with Don, you know. And
but Don, even though he sent a gracious text back,
didn't he tim.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
He said me too dot dot dot thanks.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Which for Don, he might as well been like, hey,
I love you guys, right like that was Yeah, it's
a lot of emotion. Should have left it at that,
right the NBA drafts happening. I don't know who Don has,
I mean, other than Cooper Flag. I don't know who
he's got. All I see is he's weird.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Euros.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
What did I text you a bet Harper's mom and
all these trades?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
What did you text me all euros? All weird?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I said a lot of euros?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
This is not good, right, So and then Kate has
to send a text you know, hey, your guys did
a good job.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
You know this and that no, no, that's not what
I said, Petros. I waited till the end of the
first round was over. I waited till all thirty picks
were made last night, and Don had a flurry of
guys go in the twenties in the first round, including
Danny Wolf and his crime brother right who went twenty
ninth to Brooklyn.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
And Kate's has to do. I said, he's got to
set a text. Hey, great job.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Okay, now, I said, six guys in first round, congrats,
And you know what Don texted back, actually disappointing, guys
should have went higher, yo.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
I.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Texted Kate's individually, you idiot, You made us look like fool.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Now did he have did he work with Cedric Coward?
We don't know Colin Cowherd.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Yeah, Malik Andrews called him Colin Cowhard on the broadcast
last night.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I don't know who his guys are Kate's does.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
I took a screenshot and was falling a draft pick
by draft pick last night. Drake Powell, Ben Sarroth, the
kid from Italy went Cooper flagg Leah McNeely out of Yukon.
He had Jason Richardson who went to Orlando, last night
he had, and he had Danny Wolf and his crying
brother also last night. So he had six of his
nine guys that he worked out for the last three
(06:12):
months going the first round.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Hey, great job, Don, six guys in the first round. Actually, Tim,
it's been a crippling disappointment to us.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
I think I threw my phone. It just fell on
the floor, laughing my reactions. Why it's just stilling on
the stove. Why why do you think you're not gonna
get burned? Don't touch that stove. Don't touch that one.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I just wrote back. Copy was the best part.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
I mean, maybe that's why. Maybe that's why you guys
left me hanging on the.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I was so fired up for him too. He had
a late flurry like three guys and like the last
nine picks on the draft. Awesome, six of your nine
dudes went in the first round.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Actually disappointed. Terrible, terrible read by you, Tim. I can't
believe you say that to me tonight. We suffering here
at the host.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Now did Donnie? Did Don and Ronnie patch things up? Yeah?
I know that that was right there.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
You know that's don was surprisingly you know, not since
the uh not since that Native American kid beat Don
at Papa shot at the Dave and Busters in Arcadia.
But he's really pissed. Uh they sent a Native American
ringer off the rest. He just uh anyway, Not since
then have I heard Don challenge so directly.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
On a writing shotgun for the next couple of days.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Wait, Ronnie, how is the state allowed to have two
official songs?
Speaker 7 (07:47):
I don't know, Don, that's uh, that's what I read.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
What's the other one?
Speaker 7 (07:51):
I don't know and didn't care. It's immaterial for this
particular segment of the show.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Did you hear me in the back oun?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
No, oh god, I.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Don't know, Don, That's that's what I read.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
What's the other one?
Speaker 7 (08:04):
I don't know and didn't care in material for this
particular segment of the show to hear me all bike?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Oh God, by god, they're gonna kill us all his words?
The word of the day. Today's word of the day
is they don't want to bumble with the bee. Not yet.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
I know you're a Sacktown State guy, You're a real hornet.
We always say you can take Cam's scataboo out of
the hornet's nest, but you can't take the Hornet's nest
out of Cam's Tatabo. Sacramento State has got a whole
bunch of money behind them and they're trying to push
their way. They're trying to drive their stare into FBS
as an independent, and they petitioned that they were going
(08:47):
to leave the Big Sky and the Big West Conference
as a full member starting with the twenty twenty six
twenty twenty seven academic year. But then they tried to
get out early and be an independent for this coming
year and twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Oh no, this is waiver for the twenty twenty six season,
so they're going to play in the Big Sky this year.
And Sacktown was trying to get out, get out of
the Big Sky, get out of the FCS, and join
the FBS. Their coach is a pretty good coach, the
offensive coordinator from UNLV, Brendan Marion, and he's the coach
(09:28):
of the go go offense. Remember Michael Vick interviewed for
the job. And Sacramento State. The Hornets are trying to
push their way into West Coast football supremacy, into one
of these Mountain West or Pack twelve type of leagues
so they can get a foothold out here and get
(09:48):
some of that TV money at night and play because USC, Oregon, Washington,
and UCLA are in the big ten. So they tried
to petition they're going to play their final year in FCS,
and they try a petition for twenty twenty six to
get an FBS and that petition was and I know, Sacramento's,
you know, not everybody's favorite town. And yes they do
(10:10):
have an NBA team, but and the A's but.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, they were denied. Well that's unfortunate. Sorry, Hornets.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Now can they come back to the table next year?
Can they petition each and every year? Is this a
you can only do it every so long?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Lacking an invitation from an FBS conference, the university filed
the NCAA petition to become an independent in April and
they have been rejected. So they have to wait to
be invited by one of these conferences or repetition next
year as an independent. You know who's an independent right now?
Who's a Yukon? Yeah, which is weird. Jim Mora talking
(10:48):
to ass and taking names. I remember in stores, by
the way, this is great.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
I remember the twenty ten I think it was twenty
ten Papa John's Bowl in Birmingham at Least Field, which,
by the way, one of the biggest dumps I've ever been.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh I've been there yet. Oh my god. I called
the game there one. It was terrible, but I remember
it was.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I never thought Joel Clatt was going to make a
noose out of his tie and jump out of the
really thought it was when the game went to overtime,
I thought for sure, and Joe Klatt was gonna kill him.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
So he didn't. It was that it went on to
be a great broadcaster.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
It was the Papa John's Bowl and it was South
Carolina Yukon back when I worked and covered the game
Cocks in South Carolina and we traveled out to Legion Field.
Places a complete dump. But I remember SEC and South
Carolina fans were like, oh, who's this? This is the
SEC and Yukon ran it through them that entire game,
and South Carolina fans were miserable, and I remember thinking
(11:41):
to myself, it was a big win for Yukon and
they just vanished. It wasn't that long afterwards. So it's
good to see Jim Moore bring them back.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Actually they're not that bad, but He's made them much
more competitive, and you you could argue very much that
he saved the program. Now, where do they go without
a real TV deal as an independent it get any
player that they get, that's good, it's gonna get poached
by Penn State or or Maryland or somebody you know
in the area on the East coast. You know, it's
(12:09):
it's interesting. But yeah, they were denied.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
I wonder what the appeal is. What the appeal was
for Jim Moore at Yukon was just a job. So
it was just that you couldn't get another job. Yes,
he's got a bit of a reputation for being.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
So so Yukon.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
It's a little bit like me, you know, like, God,
we love this Petros guy. He's crazy. Great, we're gonna
hire him. Hey, why'd you fire that guy?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
He's crazy? We had to he's crazy. Wasn't that why
you hired him?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
But now, did you do a number of the day?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
You did?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I did it?
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Here's my number number of the day is eight. You see,
because Texas State has informed the Sunbell.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Come look at that. We got college football double up.
We got the denial of Sack State. But the Bobcat
damn right.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
I mean I think this should be called the Armadillos
based on the movie Necessary Right. It's unfortunate they.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Are the fact cornerback Sinbad center Kathy Ireland, a kicker
Kathy Ireland with the with the jawline Kathy Ireland back
in the day.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
But they have informed the Sun Belt Conference and it
expects the offer to join the PAC twelve in the
near future. According to Pete Fammel of ESPN, well he
would know where Texas State to officially join the PAC twelve.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
It would give the resurgent.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
League the eight football member institutions required by the NCAA
to be recognized as an FBS conference. Oregon State and
Washington State are currently there. They're the loan members, but
thanks to a two year grace period, the remaining PAC
twelve was able to lure Boise State, Colorado State, San
Diego State, Lisno State, Toss State, you Toss State from
(13:57):
the Mountain West is full time members starting in twenty
twenty six, and Zaga's joining. But they don't sponsor a
football team. So I ask you the question, can we
just make it the Pack eight? I'm now Texas State joins.
Could we just make it the.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Package that maybe, but then U see Davis is going
to try to get in or they might end up
beating sax State into the Mountain West. I mean it's
happening in Texas too. I mean you've seen over the
years University of San Antonio, Texas the road Runners. They
become a thing, a football thing. Texas State has become
a thing. Sam Houston has gone into the FBS and
(14:30):
become a thing and improved exponentially. You know, there's money
in having an FBS college football program, whether you're UTEP
or Sacramento State. I mean, there's a reason. You either
go for it or you get out of the way.
So we'll see how it happens. But it is interesting
to see how the West Coast is shaping up after
the departure of SEUCLA, Oregon and Washington. All right, Ronnie,
(14:54):
this is the song of the day.
Speaker 8 (14:59):
Today's of the day is called Living after Midnight from

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Well, after the show yesterday, Jonas, I drove home, but
I didn't go home. I went to a Little League
baseball game. Right now, My son has aged out of
literally he turned thirteen in May, so he's an awkward
age and he's not it wasn't an All Star player anyway,
(17:27):
But you know the Little League All Star stuff is
going on, right Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
You know about that? Oh yeah, yeah, you see the
like the flags hanging up around Little Least, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Home of an All Star and then they all toilet
paper each other's houses exclude all the other kids. Non kidding.
But yesterday, on my way home, I was witnessed to
a real Little League phenomenon. On my way home, I
heard my friend tell me that the Palas Verdes twelve
(17:59):
U All Star team was against the ropes to Redondo
at the Rolling Hills Little League. So that's three different entities.
Pallas Verdi's Little League taking on Redondo Little League in
Rolling Hills. Now, when I'm talking about Redondo baseball, I'm
not talking about the Redondo wharf Rats of nineteen ten.
(18:22):
They played in the Trolley League t shirts available on ebotts.
I'm talking about the Redondo twelve U all start time.
By the way, Rodondo now the home of LaVar Arrington.
Lavarn now lives in Redondo's unless he lives in Torrence,
Redondo adjacent. He could live in that little strip of
Redondo that's known as Torrance Beach if he lives in
(18:43):
the Hollywood Riviera, which I believe he.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Does when he fills in next time to get asked.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Kay Will He's great on the filling work. I showed
up at this game, Jonas, And now you know, a
lot of the kids at Fletcher grew up with are
on the PV team.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
So I'm there.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
And the PV team is down nine to one, okay,
nine to one, and it's like the third they're just
they're getting beat up and they're in the loser's bracket,
so you lose this game. All these kids that have
been like we're going to Cooperstown or wherever it is.
Where do they go in Williams Williamsport. Yeah, you know,
(19:24):
these dreams are gonna be crossed. You know, they're gonna
be two and done. And they're down. They've already lost
a game to Lenada Bay and they're down like nine
to one to Rinondo. Hopeless situation. And the PV team
started to come back. They had a four run fifth,
oh right, and then a nine run six and it
(19:48):
was truly they they win, right, And I mean, of course,
to have that happen, you've got to get twenty walks,
they have to have errors and then you get your
big hits. But you know how, Yeah, been to a
Little League game before, of course, and these kids are
pretty good. You know, they're like twelve years old. They
could move around. But the contrast between the parent groups,
(20:13):
you know, in this small place and everybody's there, you
know it maybe like one hundred and fifty two hundred
people there, the Redondo parents just sitting there for two innings,
just watching what ended up being like a twelve run lead.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
When I showed up, it was nine to one. But
they built more run.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
There was like twelve to one to watch the twelve
run lead Dwindle and then the palace Verd's parents. I
mean it became almost just like almost like a church
where everybody's like freaking out and speaking in tongues and
like you remember the Blues Brothers. Meanwhilefore they're at the
(20:55):
church and James Brown's preaching and everybody starts like jumping
like seventy feet of the air like whoa.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Meanwhile, people felt the spirit, you know.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Meanwhile, there's a kid who's not even a teenager yet
who just turned into a gas can. It's gonna be
traumatizer rest of Oh dude, these people weren't absolutely going.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
But the TV parents were chest bumping like I saw
parents they hate each other in the neighborhood like ten yard,
like yeah, Millie Vanilli style chest bump.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
People were doing like the.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Flying plane, you know, soccer celebration you know where you're.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Ah, you know, it was wild.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I mean, I've never seen such high drama, and I've
seen a lot of dramatic Little League games over the
last few years. But and just the Redondo people having
to sit there, and not to say the PV people
were over zealous in their celebration. I mean, what are
you gonna do your twelve run come back in the
final inning. But just the contrast was amazing to me.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Well because they're gonna have to and soul miserable little
kids or I said.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Oh my god, I mean and you know me, like
the second the game and I kept trying to leave,
and the people, like some of my friends with the neighborhood,
including Ranzo and Heather Chaconi fine Italian Americans, were like, no,
you gotta stay, like they're coming back, like you gotta stay.
So finally I stayed, and you know, I saw the
(22:23):
run cross and I just started walking. And as I
was walking away, you I would you would have thought
I was walking away from Calligula's house, like hearing the
screams of ecstasy, just like people were speaking in tongues.
I'd never seen anything like me screaming. Were any of
(22:44):
the Dondo parents blaming the umps, well, you know that,
I don't know. I didn't see. I didn't notice a
lot of chirping there. You know, they just realized are kids.
Well they just started to rattle the other pictures, the
other Redondo pictures, you know, they couldn't they couldn't throw strikes,
and every time a guy threw a ball, and all these.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Neighborhood kids were like, oh Edward Dondo.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
They're still they're stoic, like statues at the Staples Center outside.
Just congrats to Pete Pallasburdi's little league who lives to
fight another day.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
I will say this, I did think of you because
my son just finished his first season of tea ball
these four years old.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
He loves it. Oh, that's the best. He just loves baseball.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
That's the best. I can already tell.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Who's going to be that guy?
Speaker 6 (23:30):
Well that and I can already tell I'm going to
find whatever reason I can to not partake in any
of the parent gathering events.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Well it's over. You know, a lot of them are cool.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Look, the best teams in literally literally not travel baseball
and all the other four thousand dollars bat stuff, but literally,
the best teams in the little league are the ones
and I always say this to everybody and no one
ever does it. They're the ones where the best player
on the team is nice to the worst player on
the team. And those teams every year get better because
(24:00):
everybody gets better as the year goes on. If if
you do it a different way, sometimes your results are
not as bad.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
By the way, have you guys seen I thought it
would be a good idea to show my son, because
he loves baseball, he loves Field of Dreams. I thought,
you know, let's try a different one. Let's put on
the original Bad News Bears. That's a good one, Kelly Legan,
flick that cigarette, right, you know, some of the racial
slurs I love.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
It's a different time. You know, maybe we need to
toughen up a little bit. But in the double elimination
world of Little League All Stars, which I have learned
Jonas is all or nothing. I just want you to,
uh just strap up to when your vampire child gets
involved in the hot breath hate of Little League, you'll know.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I mean, it.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Was like it was like the Tale of Two Cities
just laid out.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Sorry, we only do night games here the best of times,
and it was the worst of times.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
And you know, it was an amazing occurrence to see
that he've come back. You know what, I'll follow him
for the I mean, who knows, if I think one
more loss and they're out, I don't know when it
resets or receeds or.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Yeah, my my vampiric offspring is gonna his road his day.
Night splits are gonna be wild because at night he's
gonna thrive. It's a sunlight during the day.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah, it's gonna be a that's not a fan. It's
just not a We don't have the skin toned.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
And you know, I heard if the you know, if
he gets on a big hitting streak, the opposing catcher
wears like a necklace of garlic that he just goes
downause he seems sick to shooting holy water, a rosin
bag filled with holy water. I just you know, Redondo
pitcher after after Redondo pitcher was just melting down. That's
terrible that they just and I got to say, the
(25:46):
people of Redondo, they wore it with stoicism and dignity.
I might have to go to another game. I might
have to report on another game. But at least it
was a nine run final inning to win.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
That's report worthy, right.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
At least it wasn't just one kid giving up the
game or coughing up the game. At least they all
love company. Yes, yeah, it was all of us. You know,
Redondo went down. My only regret is that I didn't
get a hot dog or a cheeseburger because I kept
thinking I was going to.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Leave, you know, and they were like, no, no, they're going
to come back.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
It's like, dude, they're not. They're down seven runs, they
have three outs, you know, they're down ten runs. They
needed nine runs to win the game in the final
inning and got.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Them no outs. That's how bad Redondo melted. Maybe there
was one out.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
There is something about the smell of a hot dog
or a hamburger at a high school football.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
It's the best.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
So that's my little league report. Look, I just I've
never seen this celebration was absolutely chest orgasmic. I mean,
it was an explosion of ecstasy.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And on the other side there's just kids' dreams who
were just shadowed. Yeah, you know what it looked like.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
It looked like all the tasty white people in New
York celebrating when the socialist mayor.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Got got a baseball movie for you, Jonas to show
your son.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
Oh yeah, I like it.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
The fan with Bobby de Niro.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Oh hey, maybe that should be the theme. I mean,
they're playing the Giants July eleventh, Do that one?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Roger Lodgers in that movie? Is it really Yeah? He
plays reporter number two? How do you know this?
Speaker 6 (27:29):
By the way, I go to Little league games. I
pay attention to the world. I'm on top of stuff.
He's a fan.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
That a fan of the sports lodge.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
Hey bybe so anyway, By the way, was a Benicio
del Toro who got stabbed in the shower in that movie?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
And the fan yes, yeah, right, call yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Because he wore the guy's number, wouldn't give it up.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
If I was a Redondo parent, I'm my I mean,
I wasn't sitting behind home plate, but I might say
that the strike zone seemed to get smaller as the
game went on. I might say that if I was
a Redondo parent, But you know that's not my role.
I mean, how many of those Redondo parents do you
think we're relieved because they're like, yeah, we don't have
my kid's never gonna want to play baseball after this.
(28:18):
We get our summers back. This is great. This is
devastating from my child emotional room today.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
And then the worst.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Part is whatever you lose on the hill, it's like,
now you've got to drive off the hill. Oh yeah,
let's let's leave these palatial estates. After we've taken the
l you know, you beat them, you go home, you
get hit up the low, you know, the straw hat pizza. Hey,
f those rich kids. We got one over on them.
Dad's at the factory. But if you buddy, you know,
(28:48):
but when you lose.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
To them, the walk shame. That's tough past millionaires, just terrible, terrible.
I went to a TV high school and had this
similar real problem. Palace Verdi's high school football and they
had the night lights up and my son wanted to go. Yeah,
so I took them and sat in the stands and
I had a nervous breakdown. I threatened the school ops
(29:12):
people because they were playing a PA all the way
up like Taylor Swift and stuff, while the other team,
Lawndale's under center and Lawndale's all black team. They're they're
wearing white jerseys, but they're a black eye and they're
losing the PV and they can't even get under center
with I mean, even a band stops playing when you're
(29:33):
under center, and like in a college game, and I was.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Like, dude, stop this, I don't care if it's homecoming,
go up to the booth. I went over to somebody
said this has to stop. You know, this is why
people hate Palace Bertie is why people hate us. Like
people come up here and they look at it. It's
like a four million dollar hours across the street from
the school and they're listening to Shaboozi all the way
up while you're under center losing by thirty at night
(29:57):
on a hill where they have no lights, eat lights,
no sidewalks.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
You know, you might as well be in Holmby Hills anyway.
How long does it take a little league game to finish?
I don't know. I told it walking.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Yeah, about two hours, depends, you know, if you have
a meltdown in or give them a nine run.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Okay, we'll be right back. There's your socall Little League report.
Speaker 1 (30:26):

Speaker 3 (30:43):
Shake it all over, cracking everybody, Welcome back. It's Petrosen money.
It is a Crutchy Groven Thursday. We just had a
conversation regarding the Little League situation in my area. I just,
you know, it's a real contrast. Caught me off guard.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I mean, yeah, it's unfortunate. It was great. There's a winner,
there's a loom.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
You know, that's how life is. I had to learn
to win and lose with grace, and then there's parents
there to remind you which one is winning. Hey, hey,
look it was building, you know, pressure bust pipes. I
didn't know that the that the airplane was a thing.
Oh that came back. I saw so much airplane. It's
like when Stefani jeans. Those are back now, Sweet Kate's
did the Lakers pick Big news?
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Lakers traded up yet again to the number thirty six
overall pick and had trade with the Brooklyn Nets and
they picked up swingman a due thero out of Arkansas.
Speaker 2 (31:37):

Speaker 6 (31:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
I spent two years at Kentucky plane for John Calipari,
and then when coach cal moved to Arkansas, he went
with them to play there for the Razorbacks. Averaged two
points a year his freshman year at Kentucky, averaged fifteen
points his junior year, a due thero out of Arkansas.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Okay, that's not that bad.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Like, honestly, from what I grew up with on the
USC football team, that is not that bad. We would
have three by three and we'd be like nineteen, and
I'd be like, wow, And when you're young and you
don't have any kids, you don't understand what it's like
to have kids. And then these guys would have like
three kids by three and they'd be like, what's what
are we doing?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
What are we doing?
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Like, even if you play in the NFL, you're screwed man,
Yeah yeah, you better be Jerry Rice.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
You But Cello's got all that music money.

They did pay him a lot. Yeah, it's just sad,
you know. I mean, those two other kids are gonna
be jealous of the other and then he's gonna have
another more baby moms. Yeah, I don't think this is
the last baby mom. If I if I had to guess.
Speaker 6 (34:12):
Yeah, you think so. Is there a long term bet
we can place on that? How many more? Baby set
the over under at one and a half. Okay, I'm
going over. All right, Kate, you got the over or

Speaker 4 (01:16):
And I heard this?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
You want so cragging everybody, and welcome back.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
It is the one and only petro Send Money Show
on M five seventy LA Sports, your home of the Dodgers.
Dodgers win, they win a big game in Colorado. Wasn't
a big game, No, but Clayton Kershaw got closer looked
like he was going to get to the eight strikeouts,
but gave up a solo home run. But they took
him out so they can create a home game excitement
(01:45):
type of deal when the Dodgers play the White Sox
next week here in town. Now the Dodgers are in
Kansas City starting tomorrow, we will have a flex Alert show.
We'll start at too and we'll have Don McClain. And
Don mcclan is a draft expert. The draft is going
(02:05):
on right now. Starts at oh, it starts at six,
starts at five.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Well.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Don had six of his nine guys taken in the
first round.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Rag, how about this, Jonas.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Six of his nine guys.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
You've been around long enough, Jonas Knox is here, thank god.
And you've been around long enough Jonas to know that
Don McClain got a little bit of a chap in
his ass, yea.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, but he's you know, he's got an edge. Yeah.
And you know Kate's always tries.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Is like last night before the draft, you know, and
draft night, as McLain has has discussed, you know, he's
very invested in the draft. He trains guys, spends months
with them. For CAA, he had Cooper Flag as one
of his guys. But his thing is get me these
guys and we're going to improve their draft status, and
year in and year out, he's been able to do that,
(02:54):
get guys drafted higher than where they were projected. And
he's really one of the best in the business. And
it's way beyond what he does here. Uh. I mean,
I've had Don on the radio on radio shows I've
worked on for twenty twenty three years, twenty four years,
I mean, and and of course he's great at calling
games and doing stuff like that, but this individual type
(03:16):
of draft prep coaching is a real niche for him.
And Kate's always trying to be cool, you know, trying
to relate because Don is in tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I'm supportive too, though, Petros, there's nothing phony about that.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Now.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I'm not saying it's phony. I'm just saying Kate's you know,
text Don like, hey, good.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Luck, I said, a happy NBA draft. Hope your guys
go early and often, and.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I'm like, okay, well, now you know.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
I see im FASB's everybody.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
And Don, even though he's admitted y'all get pretty nervous
on draft night, don't lie having a ready over, you
know with the kids. You know, they had friends over,
and you know we stop that quick because you know,
I get uh, you know, I get a little uh.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You know.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
So he's admitted, you know, he's a little on edge,
you know, if his guys don't get picked.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
And it's like, you know, use baseball, barbecues in golf.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
It's like, that's not messed with Don, you know. And
but Don, even though he sent a gracious text back,
didn't he tim.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
He said me too dot dot dot thanks.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Which for Don, he might as well been like, hey,
I love you guys, right like that was Yeah, it's
a lot of emotion. Should have left it at that,
right the NBA drafts happening. I don't know who Don has,
I mean, other than Cooper Flag. I don't know who
he's got. All I see is he's weird.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Euros.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
What did I text you a bet Harper's mom and
all these trades?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
What did you text me all euros? All weird?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I said a lot of euros?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
This is not good, right, So and then Kate has
to send a text you know, hey, your guys did
a good job.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
You know this and that no, no, that's not what
I said, Petros. I waited till the end of the
first round was over. I waited till all thirty picks
were made last night, and Don had a flurry of
guys go in the twenties in the first round, including
Danny Wolf and his crime brother right who went twenty
ninth to Brooklyn.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
And Kate's has to do. I said, he's got to
set a text. Hey, great job.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Okay, now, I said, six guys in first round, congrats,
And you know what Don texted back, actually disappointing, guys
should have went higher, yo.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
I.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Texted Kate's individually, you idiot, You made us look like fool.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Now did he have did he work with Cedric Coward?
We don't know Colin Cowherd.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Yeah, Malik Andrews called him Colin Cowhard on the broadcast
last night.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I don't know who his guys are Kate's does.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
I took a screenshot and was falling a draft pick
by draft pick last night. Drake Powell, Ben Sarroth, the
kid from Italy went Cooper flagg Leah McNeely out of Yukon.
He had Jason Richardson who went to Orlando, last night
he had, and he had Danny Wolf and his crying
brother also last night. So he had six of his
nine guys that he worked out for the last three
(06:12):
months going the first round.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Hey, great job, Don, six guys in the first round. Actually, Tim,
it's been a crippling disappointment to us.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
I think I threw my phone. It just fell on
the floor, laughing my reactions. Why it's just stilling on
the stove. Why why do you think you're not gonna
get burned? Don't touch that stove. Don't touch that one.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I just wrote back. Copy was the best part.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
I mean, maybe that's why. Maybe that's why you guys
left me hanging on the.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I was so fired up for him too. He had
a late flurry like three guys and like the last
nine picks on the draft. Awesome, six of your nine
dudes went in the first round.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Actually disappointed. Terrible, terrible read by you, Tim. I can't
believe you say that to me tonight. We suffering here
at the host.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Now did Donnie? Did Don and Ronnie patch things up? Yeah?
I know that that was right there.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
You know that's don was surprisingly you know, not since
the uh not since that Native American kid beat Don
at Papa shot at the Dave and Busters in Arcadia.
But he's really pissed. Uh they sent a Native American
ringer off the rest. He just uh anyway, Not since
then have I heard Don challenge so directly.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
On a writing shotgun for the next couple of days.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Wait, Ronnie, how is the state allowed to have two
official songs?
Speaker 7 (07:47):
I don't know, Don, that's uh, that's what I read.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
What's the other one?
Speaker 7 (07:51):
I don't know and didn't care. It's immaterial for this
particular segment of the show.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Did you hear me in the back oun?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
No, oh god, I.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Don't know, Don, That's that's what I read.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
What's the other one?
Speaker 7 (08:04):
I don't know and didn't care in material for this
particular segment of the show to hear me all bike?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Oh God, by god, they're gonna kill us all his words?
The word of the day. Today's word of the day
is they don't want to bumble with the bee. Not yet.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
I know you're a Sacktown State guy, You're a real hornet.
We always say you can take Cam's scataboo out of
the hornet's nest, but you can't take the Hornet's nest
out of Cam's Tatabo. Sacramento State has got a whole
bunch of money behind them and they're trying to push
their way. They're trying to drive their stare into FBS
as an independent, and they petitioned that they were going
(08:47):
to leave the Big Sky and the Big West Conference
as a full member starting with the twenty twenty six
twenty twenty seven academic year. But then they tried to
get out early and be an independent for this coming
year and twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Oh no, this is waiver for the twenty twenty six season,
so they're going to play in the Big Sky this year.
And Sacktown was trying to get out, get out of
the Big Sky, get out of the FCS, and join
the FBS. Their coach is a pretty good coach, the
offensive coordinator from UNLV, Brendan Marion, and he's the coach
(09:28):
of the go go offense. Remember Michael Vick interviewed for
the job. And Sacramento State. The Hornets are trying to
push their way into West Coast football supremacy, into one
of these Mountain West or Pack twelve type of leagues
so they can get a foothold out here and get
(09:48):
some of that TV money at night and play because USC, Oregon, Washington,
and UCLA are in the big ten. So they tried
to petition they're going to play their final year in FCS,
and they try a petition for twenty twenty six to
get an FBS and that petition was and I know, Sacramento's,
you know, not everybody's favorite town. And yes they do
(10:10):
have an NBA team, but and the A's but.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, they were denied. Well that's unfortunate. Sorry, Hornets.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Now can they come back to the table next year?
Can they petition each and every year? Is this a
you can only do it every so long?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Lacking an invitation from an FBS conference, the university filed
the NCAA petition to become an independent in April and
they have been rejected. So they have to wait to
be invited by one of these conferences or repetition next
year as an independent. You know who's an independent right now?
Who's a Yukon? Yeah, which is weird. Jim Mora talking
(10:48):
to ass and taking names. I remember in stores, by
the way, this is great.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
I remember the twenty ten I think it was twenty
ten Papa John's Bowl in Birmingham at Least Field, which,
by the way, one of the biggest dumps I've ever been.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh I've been there yet. Oh my god. I called
the game there one. It was terrible, but I remember
it was.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I never thought Joel Clatt was going to make a
noose out of his tie and jump out of the
really thought it was when the game went to overtime,
I thought for sure, and Joe Klatt was gonna kill him.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
So he didn't. It was that it went on to
be a great broadcaster.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
It was the Papa John's Bowl and it was South
Carolina Yukon back when I worked and covered the game
Cocks in South Carolina and we traveled out to Legion Field.
Places a complete dump. But I remember SEC and South
Carolina fans were like, oh, who's this? This is the
SEC and Yukon ran it through them that entire game,
and South Carolina fans were miserable, and I remember thinking
(11:41):
to myself, it was a big win for Yukon and
they just vanished. It wasn't that long afterwards. So it's
good to see Jim Moore bring them back.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Actually they're not that bad, but He's made them much
more competitive, and you you could argue very much that
he saved the program. Now, where do they go without
a real TV deal as an independent it get any
player that they get, that's good, it's gonna get poached
by Penn State or or Maryland or somebody you know
in the area on the East coast. You know, it's
(12:09):
it's interesting. But yeah, they were denied.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
I wonder what the appeal is. What the appeal was
for Jim Moore at Yukon was just a job. So
it was just that you couldn't get another job. Yes,
he's got a bit of a reputation for being.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
So so Yukon.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
It's a little bit like me, you know, like, God,
we love this Petros guy. He's crazy. Great, we're gonna
hire him. Hey, why'd you fire that guy?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
He's crazy? We had to he's crazy. Wasn't that why
you hired him?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
But now, did you do a number of the day?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
You did?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I did it?
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Here's my number number of the day is eight. You see,
because Texas State has informed the Sunbell.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Come look at that. We got college football double up.
We got the denial of Sack State. But the Bobcat
damn right.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
I mean I think this should be called the Armadillos
based on the movie Necessary Right. It's unfortunate they.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Are the fact cornerback Sinbad center Kathy Ireland, a kicker
Kathy Ireland with the with the jawline Kathy Ireland back
in the day.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
But they have informed the Sun Belt Conference and it
expects the offer to join the PAC twelve in the
near future. According to Pete Fammel of ESPN, well he
would know where Texas State to officially join the PAC twelve.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
It would give the resurgent.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
League the eight football member institutions required by the NCAA
to be recognized as an FBS conference. Oregon State and
Washington State are currently there. They're the loan members, but
thanks to a two year grace period, the remaining PAC
twelve was able to lure Boise State, Colorado State, San
Diego State, Lisno State, Toss State, you Toss State from
(13:57):
the Mountain West is full time members starting in twenty
twenty six, and Zaga's joining. But they don't sponsor a
football team. So I ask you the question, can we
just make it the Pack eight? I'm now Texas State joins.
Could we just make it the.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Package that maybe, but then U see Davis is going
to try to get in or they might end up
beating sax State into the Mountain West. I mean it's
happening in Texas too. I mean you've seen over the
years University of San Antonio, Texas the road Runners. They
become a thing, a football thing. Texas State has become
a thing. Sam Houston has gone into the FBS and
(14:30):
become a thing and improved exponentially. You know, there's money
in having an FBS college football program, whether you're UTEP
or Sacramento State. I mean, there's a reason. You either
go for it or you get out of the way.
So we'll see how it happens. But it is interesting
to see how the West Coast is shaping up after
the departure of SEUCLA, Oregon and Washington. All right, Ronnie,
(14:54):
this is the song of the day.
Speaker 8 (14:59):

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Well, after the show yesterday, Jonas, I drove home, but
I didn't go home. I went to a Little League
baseball game. Right now, My son has aged out of
literally he turned thirteen in May, so he's an awkward
age and he's not it wasn't an All Star player anyway,
(17:27):
But you know the Little League All Star stuff is
going on, right Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
You know about that? Oh yeah, yeah, you see the
like the flags hanging up around Little Least, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Home of an All Star and then they all toilet
paper each other's houses exclude all the other kids. Non kidding.
But yesterday, on my way home, I was witnessed to
a real Little League phenomenon. On my way home, I
heard my friend tell me that the Palas Verdes twelve
(17:59):
U All Star team was against the ropes to Redondo
at the Rolling Hills Little League. So that's three different entities.
Pallas Verdi's Little League taking on Redondo Little League in
Rolling Hills. Now, when I'm talking about Redondo baseball, I'm
not talking about the Redondo wharf Rats of nineteen ten.
(18:22):
They played in the Trolley League t shirts available on ebotts.
I'm talking about the Redondo twelve U all start time.
By the way, Rodondo now the home of LaVar Arrington.
Lavarn now lives in Redondo's unless he lives in Torrence,
Redondo adjacent. He could live in that little strip of
Redondo that's known as Torrance Beach if he lives in
(18:43):
the Hollywood Riviera, which I believe he.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Does when he fills in next time to get asked.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Kay Will He's great on the filling work. I showed
up at this game, Jonas, And now you know, a
lot of the kids at Fletcher grew up with are
on the PV team.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
So I'm there.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
And the PV team is down nine to one, okay,
nine to one, and it's like the third they're just
they're getting beat up and they're in the loser's bracket,
so you lose this game. All these kids that have
been like we're going to Cooperstown or wherever it is.
Where do they go in Williams Williamsport. Yeah, you know,
(19:24):
these dreams are gonna be crossed. You know, they're gonna
be two and done. And they're down. They've already lost
a game to Lenada Bay and they're down like nine
to one to Rinondo. Hopeless situation. And the PV team
started to come back. They had a four run fifth,
oh right, and then a nine run six and it
(19:48):
was truly they they win, right, And I mean, of course,
to have that happen, you've got to get twenty walks,
they have to have errors and then you get your
big hits. But you know how, Yeah, been to a
Little League game before, of course, and these kids are
pretty good. You know, they're like twelve years old. They
could move around. But the contrast between the parent groups,
(20:13):
you know, in this small place and everybody's there, you
know it maybe like one hundred and fifty two hundred
people there, the Redondo parents just sitting there for two innings,
just watching what ended up being like a twelve run lead.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
When I showed up, it was nine to one. But
they built more run.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
There was like twelve to one to watch the twelve
run lead Dwindle and then the palace Verd's parents. I
mean it became almost just like almost like a church
where everybody's like freaking out and speaking in tongues and
like you remember the Blues Brothers. Meanwhilefore they're at the
(20:55):
church and James Brown's preaching and everybody starts like jumping
like seventy feet of the air like whoa.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Meanwhile, people felt the spirit, you know.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Meanwhile, there's a kid who's not even a teenager yet
who just turned into a gas can. It's gonna be
traumatizer rest of Oh dude, these people weren't absolutely going.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
But the TV parents were chest bumping like I saw
parents they hate each other in the neighborhood like ten yard,
like yeah, Millie Vanilli style chest bump.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
People were doing like the.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Flying plane, you know, soccer celebration you know where you're.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Ah, you know, it was wild.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I mean, I've never seen such high drama, and I've
seen a lot of dramatic Little League games over the
last few years. But and just the Redondo people having
to sit there, and not to say the PV people
were over zealous in their celebration. I mean, what are
you gonna do your twelve run come back in the
final inning. But just the contrast was amazing to me.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Well because they're gonna have to and soul miserable little
kids or I said.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Oh my god, I mean and you know me, like
the second the game and I kept trying to leave,
and the people, like some of my friends with the neighborhood,
including Ranzo and Heather Chaconi fine Italian Americans, were like, no,
you gotta stay, like they're coming back, like you gotta stay.
So finally I stayed, and you know, I saw the
(22:23):
run cross and I just started walking. And as I
was walking away, you I would you would have thought
I was walking away from Calligula's house, like hearing the
screams of ecstasy, just like people were speaking in tongues.
I'd never seen anything like me screaming. Were any of
(22:44):
the Dondo parents blaming the umps, well, you know that,
I don't know. I didn't see. I didn't notice a
lot of chirping there. You know, they just realized are kids.
Well they just started to rattle the other pictures, the
other Redondo pictures, you know, they couldn't they couldn't throw strikes,
and every time a guy threw a ball, and all these.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Neighborhood kids were like, oh Edward Dondo.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
They're still they're stoic, like statues at the Staples Center outside.
Just congrats to Pete Pallasburdi's little league who lives to
fight another day.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
I will say this, I did think of you because
my son just finished his first season of tea ball
these four years old.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
He loves it. Oh, that's the best. He just loves baseball.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
That's the best. I can already tell.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Who's going to be that guy?
Speaker 6 (23:30):
Well that and I can already tell I'm going to
find whatever reason I can to not partake in any
of the parent gathering events.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Well it's over. You know, a lot of them are cool.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Look, the best teams in literally literally not travel baseball
and all the other four thousand dollars bat stuff, but literally,
the best teams in the little league are the ones
and I always say this to everybody and no one
ever does it. They're the ones where the best player
on the team is nice to the worst player on
the team. And those teams every year get better because
(24:00):
everybody gets better as the year goes on. If if
you do it a different way, sometimes your results are
not as bad.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
By the way, have you guys seen I thought it
would be a good idea to show my son, because
he loves baseball, he loves Field of Dreams. I thought,
you know, let's try a different one. Let's put on
the original Bad News Bears. That's a good one, Kelly Legan,
flick that cigarette, right, you know, some of the racial
slurs I love.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
It's a different time. You know, maybe we need to
toughen up a little bit. But in the double elimination
world of Little League All Stars, which I have learned
Jonas is all or nothing. I just want you to,
uh just strap up to when your vampire child gets
involved in the hot breath hate of Little League, you'll know.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I mean, it.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Was like it was like the Tale of Two Cities
just laid out.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Sorry, we only do night games here the best of times,
and it was the worst of times.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
And you know, it was an amazing occurrence to see
that he've come back. You know what, I'll follow him
for the I mean, who knows, if I think one
more loss and they're out, I don't know when it
resets or receeds or.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Yeah, my my vampiric offspring is gonna his road his day.
Night splits are gonna be wild because at night he's
gonna thrive. It's a sunlight during the day.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah, it's gonna be a that's not a fan. It's
just not a We don't have the skin toned.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
And you know, I heard if the you know, if
he gets on a big hitting streak, the opposing catcher
wears like a necklace of garlic that he just goes
downause he seems sick to shooting holy water, a rosin
bag filled with holy water. I just you know, Redondo
pitcher after after Redondo pitcher was just melting down. That's
terrible that they just and I got to say, the
(25:46):
people of Redondo, they wore it with stoicism and dignity.
I might have to go to another game. I might
have to report on another game. But at least it
was a nine run final inning to win.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
That's report worthy, right.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
At least it wasn't just one kid giving up the
game or coughing up the game. At least they all
love company. Yes, yeah, it was all of us. You know,
Redondo went down. My only regret is that I didn't
get a hot dog or a cheeseburger because I kept
thinking I was going to.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Leave, you know, and they were like, no, no, they're going
to come back.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
It's like, dude, they're not. They're down seven runs, they
have three outs, you know, they're down ten runs. They
needed nine runs to win the game in the final
inning and got.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Them no outs. That's how bad Redondo melted. Maybe there
was one out.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
There is something about the smell of a hot dog
or a hamburger at a high school football.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
It's the best.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
So that's my little league report. Look, I just I've
never seen this celebration was absolutely chest orgasmic. I mean,
it was an explosion of ecstasy.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And on the other side there's just kids' dreams who
were just shadowed. Yeah, you know what it looked like.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
It looked like all the tasty white people in New
York celebrating when the socialist mayor.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Got got a baseball movie for you, Jonas to show
your son.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
Oh yeah, I like it.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
The fan with Bobby de Niro.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Oh hey, maybe that should be the theme. I mean,
they're playing the Giants July eleventh, Do that one?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Roger Lodgers in that movie? Is it really Yeah? He
plays reporter number two? How do you know this?
Speaker 6 (27:29):
By the way, I go to Little league games. I
pay attention to the world. I'm on top of stuff.
He's a fan.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
That a fan of the sports lodge.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
Hey bybe so anyway, By the way, was a Benicio
del Toro who got stabbed in the shower in that movie?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
And the fan yes, yeah, right, call yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Because he wore the guy's number, wouldn't give it up.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
If I was a Redondo parent, I'm my I mean,
I wasn't sitting behind home plate, but I might say
that the strike zone seemed to get smaller as the
game went on. I might say that if I was
a Redondo parent, But you know that's not my role.
I mean, how many of those Redondo parents do you
think we're relieved because they're like, yeah, we don't have
my kid's never gonna want to play baseball after this.
(28:18):
We get our summers back. This is great. This is
devastating from my child emotional room today.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
And then the worst.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Part is whatever you lose on the hill, it's like,
now you've got to drive off the hill. Oh yeah,
let's let's leave these palatial estates. After we've taken the
l you know, you beat them, you go home, you
get hit up the low, you know, the straw hat pizza. Hey,
f those rich kids. We got one over on them.
Dad's at the factory. But if you buddy, you know,
(28:48):
but when you lose.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
To them, the walk shame. That's tough past millionaires, just terrible, terrible.
I went to a TV high school and had this
similar real problem. Palace Verdi's high school football and they
had the night lights up and my son wanted to go. Yeah,
so I took them and sat in the stands and
I had a nervous breakdown. I threatened the school ops
(29:12):
people because they were playing a PA all the way
up like Taylor Swift and stuff, while the other team,
Lawndale's under center and Lawndale's all black team. They're they're
wearing white jerseys, but they're a black eye and they're
losing the PV and they can't even get under center
with I mean, even a band stops playing when you're
(29:33):
under center, and like in a college game, and I was.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Like, dude, stop this, I don't care if it's homecoming,
go up to the booth. I went over to somebody
said this has to stop. You know, this is why
people hate Palace Bertie is why people hate us. Like
people come up here and they look at it. It's
like a four million dollar hours across the street from
the school and they're listening to Shaboozi all the way
up while you're under center losing by thirty at night
(29:57):
on a hill where they have no lights, eat lights,
no sidewalks.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
You know, you might as well be in Holmby Hills anyway.
How long does it take a little league game to finish?
I don't know. I told it walking.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Yeah, about two hours, depends, you know, if you have
a meltdown in or give them a nine run.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Okay, we'll be right back. There's your socall Little League report.

conversation regarding the Little League situation in my area. I just,
you know, it's a real contrast. Caught me off guard.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I mean, yeah, it's unfortunate. It was great. There's a winner,
there's a loom.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
You know, that's how life is. I had to learn
to win and lose with grace, and then there's parents
there to remind you which one is winning. Hey, hey,
look it was building, you know, pressure bust pipes. I
didn't know that the that the airplane was a thing.
Oh that came back. I saw so much airplane. It's
like when Stefani jeans. Those are back now, Sweet Kate's
did the Lakers pick Big news?
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Lakers traded up yet again to the number thirty six
overall pick and had trade with the Brooklyn Nets and

USC football team, that is not that bad. We would
have three by three and we'd be like nineteen, and
I'd be like, wow, And when you're young and you
don't have any kids, you don't understand what it's like
to have kids. And then these guys would have like
three kids by three and they'd be like, what's what
are we doing?

be jealous of the other and then he's gonna have
another more baby moms. Yeah, I don't think this is
the last baby mom. If I if I had to guess.
