when you were doing it? Who was here before Richard
Ramos and Matt There was someone that when you would
do the balls ball, That's why that cough button has
been installed on here, because you would always hit the
and our engineer lost his mind.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
I don't care. Buy me some headphones.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I mean, who the hell wants to hear your balls anyway?
Every I mean you just say balls, you're screaming balls.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
We thought there was a reason for it.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I forget what talking about. Oh h, it was a
shooterio to kick Pad O'Neil in the ball because I

How about this one? A little bit of nostalgia for
those of you of a certain age. Miss Kleo, the
Miss Cleo nine hundred number. When it launched and became
uh pretty much, I don't know. Miss Cleo was as
popular on MTV as I don't know, take your pick
out on Warwick. She she became. It was an infomercial.
(03:40):
It's like a one minute commercial, but it ran on
MTV like crazy. Miss Cleo was paid seventeen hundred and
fifty dollars for the three separate commercials she filmed. The
psychic howk line was generating twenty four million dollars a
month for two years straight.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Miss Cleo did a bad deal, terrible.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
She had a bad agent did not get one lick
of that unfortunately.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Mister Theo, I'm mister Theo representing Miss Kleo. We'll take
the seventeen hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Now, Randy the hippie Polly Shore like they did okay
on the MTV they were able to put a little
bit of bread in their pocket.

lot of money.

flaming of Flamingo property there, but today was the official ceremony.
The A's won't start playing in Las Vegas until the
twenty twenty eight season, which is projected to be the

hottest summer in world history.

Seems like baseball in Vegas. They're going to platoon the.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Teams because they expect the first guys that roll out
there in April to die by halfway through May. So
we'll see how it plays out.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
This was a special request story Slider in the prosecutors
seeing a five year prison sentence for Ray's infielder Wander
Franco for sexual abuse. Franco's last game was August twenty
twenty three, and then he went into hiding. He remains
on the MLB's restricted list because.

Speaker 6 (07:52):
Allegedly, a once budding star could have been the face
of baseball in a decade.
Speaker 2 (07:57):

The Oklahoma City Thunder are your world champions. The odds
for next season are already out. The Thunder and the
favorites of winning again. The Knicks, you don't have a coach,
and the Cavs are right behind him.
Speaker 2 (08:42):

it just traded for Kevin Durant. They traded Green, traded
Green and former Oregon doc Dylan Brooks Canadian bunch of

It's Spilboorgs that puts Santa Barbara High School on the
map and then you see Santa Barbara. Let's go Couchoes.
Of course, he's a hero and the Rockies franchise. Former
(14:33):
Rockies outfielder, we love him on Rockies TV, Apple TV

You hear him daily on Serious x m MLB Radio.

Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. It is Ryan Spilboorgs.
(14:53):
What's cracking? Ryan? How are you.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
So nice to me? I appreciate that you get me
so far. It's like every time like a lot. I
feel like when someone makes a nice compliment about like
a haircut or you know, the outfit that you're wearing.
You know, like it just feels good. So I appreciate
the introp.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Come on your jeans, Cats in the world by storm
and now all the beautiful are those seven g h
and all all of the all of the other sports
are gone spillboards. Now it's just you straight on till
morning all through summer. Do you feel like, uh, do
you feel like baseball is ready to step in the limelight.
I mean, it's been a lot of fun this season
so far. Have you had fun traveling around doing your job?
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Of course?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Well?
Speaker 5 (15:35):
And you know what's great about you know the boys
of Summers that finally and like watching the end of
that NBA Finals, it was so disheartening to watch Haliburton
get knocked out, like that sucked. But as far as
like baseball does, what's amazing about baseball and the parody
of the sport is that, like the players have gotten
(15:57):
so much better, like they're they're superstars and actually every market, Uh,
you guys just saw this last week with it with
Padres and Dodgers, Like god, like we love rivalries like that.
Like like even with the NBA Finals, they didn't have
the tension of what the Dodgers and Padres have, you know,
like and that's that's what's so nice about the sport.
(16:17):
We have partners are about to start a big series
against the against the Cubs. It's the first time they've
met this year. There's just there's just a lot when
it comes to parody rivalries. The overall talent, like right
now around Major League Baseball is the best we've ever had.
There's some fascinating stories, you know, like Aaron Judge is
(16:37):
he can he hit you know, sixty five homers. There's
a guy with the best nickname in the sport and
big dumper Cal Ratley playing in Seattle, he already has
more homers. Right now, he has thirty one homers as
a catcher, which is more than like Johnny Bench ever
had before in All Start Break. So, like like we
were just talking about like amazing stories around the.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Sport, great stuff on MLB Radio with Spillboards and CJ.
Nik Kowski on Loudouts? Does it there? Does it for
the Rockies? As you mentioned? P does it for Apple TV?
Go back in time recent history? You mentioned the Padres series. Ryan,
just kind of where you come out as someone that
stood in the batter's box. I don't know if you
ever felt like you were intentionally hit, but I'm sure
(17:19):
you got hit by a pitch quite a few times
in your career. Like what did you make of that
whole thing? And the way that Shilton Dave Roberts kind
of reacted to it, the way oh Tani reacted after
he got drilled with a ninety eight mile an hour
fastball that was kind of close to his head. What's
the takeaway there?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
So a lot of things. First off, as far as
I go Tani getting hit, I kind of appreciate it
from a Padres standpoint. I mean, like they are sticking
up for their own player, and they're going after the
best player on the Dodgers team, and that's so tany
the best player on the planet. So I like that
they didn't back down, which makes this thing a little
bit more juicy. I think if Dave Roberts was in
(17:58):
the same situation, is Mike Schild where if it was
you know, Mookie bats or Freddy Freeman and guys are
trying to throw up and in and they're drilling him
multiple times, like Dave's gonna have enough of it. So
I think you can see it from both sides. I
think you understand, like you know, there's a there's a
way to go about handling the things between the lines,
(18:20):
and I think the patres did a good job, and
I understand the reaction of Dave Roberts, so I like
that there too. I just like that neither team back down,
that they stuck up for each other, and you know, ultimately,
you know, if you're gonna pitch inside and that's it.
That's the thing. Like I think this boils down to,
it's not just like an isolated moment. It wasn't the
(18:41):
first time that Tatis has been hit. You know, you
go back to pot has his reaction on getting hit
by like a oh one fastball where it's not even
on purpose that he's getting drilled. Uh, he had a
poor reaction to it, and then he's of course you
lift read Mike Schild going like, who the heck are you?
It's like, we're not trying to drill you. So like
(19:03):
all these things kind of led up to it, so
it's not you know, it's not an isolated incident. This
goes back years. Like to give you an idea, like
Fernando Tatis has been hit five times by the Dodgers
since twenty and twenty three, that's the most of any team,
and he's been hit three times in two straight series.
And like, Fernando's the best player on the Padres and
(19:25):
if you look at the first half of the season,
he is putting up an MVP season until he got
hit on a Friday night game that I was there
by Mitch Keller and Pittsburgh, and like his numbers dropped.
So you know, again, like the reactions are you can't
take it in the vacuum because there's so much history
in baseball. You have to understand, you know, what happened
(19:46):
the week before and the week before and the week
before and wiser tension. So, like I said, I love it.
I think it's great that both teams aren't backing down
on one another so.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Much more we can get you. But I want to
stick with this because you know, people say, like Trevino
was talking to our David vasse after and he's like, look,
I haven't hit a guy in four years. I've hit
this guy twice. I'm not meaning to do it, but
he crowds the plate and that's how I've got to
pitch him. I've got to pitch him inside or I
can't be an effective pitcher. Like how much of that
do you kind of read into the how much tatise
(20:18):
is getting hit? And then the second part is in
a situation like Piz with someone that's behind him in Conforto,
how much does that change the way pitchers are thrown
to a guy that's the hottest hitter on the Dodgers
when behind him is a guy that's won for his
last twenty three Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Well, first off, like nobody's gonna hit Paees on purpose
because Conforto, like that's just not going to happen. So
that's that's a little bit more steel on this one
as far as like what Travino's saying. And we talked
to Travinos same thing on serious excent, and he said
so much She's like, I wasn't trying to hit him.
But if you go back and he look at the
(20:54):
way the pitch just came out of Trevino's hand, it
takes off so like and is you know, crowding the plate? Sure,
is that part of the game. Yes, But I will
point out, you know a lot of it changes around
major League baseball, Like when when when I played, Like,
if you're gonna throw a fastball inside, it's like you're
(21:15):
throwing a four steamer and you're trying to throw it inside. Now,
what guys are doing is that they're using the movement
of the pitch to take off. So for example, like
if they're gonna throw a forcing fastball, they'll set up middle.
If they throw a cutter, they set up middle. But
they call clared because up pitch will naturally move to
the outside porsch of the plate. If they're calling for inside,
(21:36):
they're gonna ask for a sinker and let the ball
like naturally run inside. And like some of these guys
just don't have command that pitch. So even though that's
part of the scouting report. You're asking some pitchers to
do things that they probably shouldn't be asked to do,
and that's that's where you have this This catch twenty
(21:56):
two is like, Okay, Fernanda's on top of the plate,
but you're asking you know, like the little kid that
came in and drill Tatis on that Thursday, like had
no business commanding the two seam fastball in Like that's
not that's not a strength for him. And so, yeah,
you're pitching to a scouting report, but you're asking some
pitchers to do something that they're not accustomed to doing consistently.
(22:19):
And so that's the repercussion you get is if you're
on quork, won it hit their best player? There has
to be a return, especially if it's if he's been
multiple times spelling.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
The Dodgers are coming to town. Uh, we spent all
winter talking about how it's the great greatest look at
baseball team in the history of the world, anointed by God,
and uh, maybe it's still that way, but they certainly
look a lot different. Uh what do you make of
the season they've had so far? They're obviously pretty.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Good, they're they're really good.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Uh we.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
You know for a team that's had so many injuries.
You know, like Tyler glasnow is starting a rehab assignment.
We saw Rookie to get transferred to sixty day al
you know, the you know Bobby Beller's interplan. Thought he
was gonna be a stud. You know, you have all
these different players and they're just they've become such a
machine that it's hard to discredit them. And like even
(23:17):
as you're watching them and even when they're like not
quote unquote at their best, they still find ways to win.
And so that's that's the thing about this group where
I think the culture that they've built and they're understanding
of like doing the little things as an organization to win,
I think that's what's allowed them to be so predict
(23:40):
and so consistent even though they don't have like all
their best bulls. Does that make sense? Like, yes, they
created this this and I don't want to like call
it a college program, but they found like a Dodger's
way to win. Like they'll do little things. They'll score,
they'll walk, they'll hit with two drakes, they'll you know,
(24:01):
they'll add on, they'll they'll put a shut down any
like they do it with every guy that he usually
called gets called up. So that's the part where as
much as people want to like diss the Dodgers, they've
created a culture of winning that I don't think is
matched around the rest of the league.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
What do you think just because obviously here in LA
we'd love to see it based on how it ended
last year for Clayton Kershaw where he couldn't play in
the postseason, Like when is this a guy that can
pitch in the playoffs, Like when you're watching these last
few starts, when he's been a lot better after he's
settled in. Is is he someone that you think, with
all the talent they have, if it's healthy, that you
(24:38):
could see get the ball in October?
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Yeah, of course. I just don't think you're going to
see him rip through a lineup three times. I think
you're going to see what the Dodgers have develops in
the last couple of years, which is like starters don't
eat up innings. That's just their thing. They have not
like Dodgers have been near the autumn baseball last like
five years as far as starters innings pitch. They just
(25:04):
recognized like two times through the lineup yes, third time
through no, uh, and then they build up a bullpen
that has, you know, ability to match up with anybody
the rest of the game. So yeah, one hundred percent
Kershaw can pitch in the postseason. It's just he's not
going to get he's not going to get deep into
the games. There's no way that you know, the calculus
(25:25):
will ever say, hey, Kershaw is good for nine innings tonight,
Like you're just not going to see that. And I think, yeah,
it's okay. I think that that's totally okay because that's
part of again, the culture of winning that I see
that the daughters are built.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Before we let you go. We know you got to go.
The Rockies are playing better. I know Joel Klatt's not
hitting second, but they are playing better. How is how
is it there? It's a it's an interesting situation this year.
And I know that it's the weather is cooled off
a little as well.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Yeah, I mean I have a problem with it like
last season, Like if if I'm going to talk trash
about the White Sox a year ago, I have to,
you know, paint the same picture with the Rockies and
this year. And here's here's my perspective on why it
bothers me, like as far as like being within the organization,
(26:15):
like this game that I came up to the big
leagues with, like, yeah, I want them to win. But
from a like a global perspective, the problem that you
have when a team is this historically bad is that
it skews the rest of the divisions. It weighs on
other teams that don't have the same advantage of playing
the Rockies thirteen times a year. And so last year,
(26:37):
when the White Sox were as bad as they were,
it skewed the postseason because you have the Detroit Tiger's
getting in and you had the Kansas City Royal squeaking in.
Both teams squeaked in because they went twelve to one
against the White Sox. So right now you have another
another historically bad team. And so the Padres, the Diamondbacks,
(26:57):
the Giants, and the Dodgers have a competitive advantage actually
east in the NL Central. And that's where I don't
like it, because you don't want to have a singular team,
you know, like for example, the the Mets fall short
right like, they spent three hundred million dollars for their team, uh,
and they fall short because they didn't get the benefit
(27:18):
of playing the Rockies thirteen times, or the Phillies fall short,
or the Cardinals pushing in the trade and they fall short,
Like that's just unfair to teams that are doing everything
in their power to compete. Any have a very weak link.
So it's getting better. They're a little bit more competitive,
but you'll see it in the three games. The Rockies
(27:39):
have a long way to go.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Great Smelly. Listen to them on MLB Radio Loud Outs
with CJ Nikowski. You watch him on Apple TV. Always
love when he takes time out to join.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
A lot of white Guy's snarkiness between him and CJS.
White Guy back, it's a lot.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Yeah, we are very sack and we got.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
A couple of white guys here. Well, thank you Ryan,
thank you Spilly, Thanks having appreciate the time, Love you too.

I am accepting calls. Yes, you're going down to the farm.
We're going down on the farm at seven forty five.
Absolutely talking about Conforto. Uh no, Conforto Talk. We'll talk
a little about Kei Y Hernandez pitching five times already.
I know that's been talked about on the station quite
a bit earlier today. I actually got it start.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
It was your top.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
It was my topic on Dodger Talk yesterday. Your topic
was on the table.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
He put his topic on the table, and then a
lot of people went over to the table, much like
they often do at a radio station, as you know,
Mad unless it's fuego fries, and people went out there
and they helped themselves.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Our market research indicates that fuego fries are not the
hit we thought they were, because typically if you leave
food out at a radio station, it will be consumed with.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Something about fuego fries. You son of a bitch, you
lost us the contract.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Just pointing out normally food gets eaten immediately, a dirty bastard.
The Figo seemed to be sitting there for a while.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
They weren't even for your show. I know, I just
noticed you ruined the deal.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
It was like a kindergarten class where all the kids
lunches were sitting there waiting for them to grab and
head on out to the little money take fries.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Left the station, turned on the radio and heard what
you're said.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I'm sorry, I'll try. I still love the frosty. The
frosty is fantastic.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Will never go back to the commerce casino.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
No, no, no matter how hard. Well that was the
bicycle where you pushed the Vietnamese egg rolls.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Oh those are the best.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Yes, I would have assumed a lifetime contract with the bike.
You know, one day push you push the Vietnamese aggirl.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
I gotta be honest with you, Matt. They say it's
like riding a bicycle, you know, you never forget. I
don't think I forgot how to do a show at
the bike. No. I think I could be just like
riding a bicycle for the bicycle tribe of Indians. I
love it.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yes, just exactly. We'll reach out to them. They're elders,
the tribal No bicycle, I believe is who's running the
show right now. Runs a tight shipet. Yeah, he's got
timmy ten speed as much he loved you. Yeah, I
love you know you'd walk in. He to have the
Vietnamese girls for you right there.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Yeah, and rides with cyclists is their marketing person. I
love that guy, that's right. Chafing Spandex is another good.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Guy, certainly.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Lord.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, she posts sound out there. You know, Rocket Steve.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
We have a good relationship with Marongo, but it doesn't
mean we can't ride the bis of clad.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I think it kind of does, actually, but it's so far,
I know, but it's really close though. Ninety minutes you're
right from one to red wherever, because I'd be sitting
at the oasis pool.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
You're right about that. I'd be sitting at the bicycle,
eating those delicious Vietnamese egg rolls about eight thousand calories
per roll, and thinking, God, in ninety minutes, it's gonna
hit me. I could be at Morocco and it's gonna
hit me.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
See when I think of the bye you think of that,
I think of Christian losing his lady because he brought
her to see us. And that, of course was.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
The and I know what else?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
The second one, Well, your former teammate falling asleep on
the couch.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
But I knew him well, Herschel Dennis.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Herschel Dennis just showed up, said high and the next
thing you know, he's out for three and.
Speaker 7 (32:37):
A half hours. Well that's a casino life, Yes it is. Hey,
doctor bus is here? Where is he in a room?
Speaker 4 (32:43):
He's been there for six days?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Feel like you tell us that every time we come here.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
He smells like a rhinoceros.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
His ass.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
He's been playing poker for six days. You can't imagine
what it's like in that room. Those were the good
old days es actually where you got the dead guy
birth there in the day.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I do would have been eighty four today, but he
passed away in twenty nineteen. Born Robert Burns, we know
him as Robert Christy Hunter. We know the music that
signature Jerry guitar, the drums, Chritsman in Heart, the harmonies
(33:22):
of Bill or Phil and Jerry. But the lyrics man,
the lyrics poetry that we sing along to. There are
many I could choose from, and I won't do that. Instead,
I will celebrate Robert Hunter by pointing out, born just
(33:43):
outside of Slow, foster child, his father was a terrible
alcoholic and abandoned the family. Mom could not afford the
kids when his life, so Hunter thrived despite his challenging conditions.
He was a foster child for a while, but mom
was able to get him back after a few years.
At eleven, he wrote a fifty page fairy tale book.
(34:06):
He said riding was his escape from his surroundings and
his luck would have it. His mother remarried Norman Hunter,
who was a publisher recognized that Robert had talent, got
him into some creative writing classes. He loved music, was
pretty great at everything, but especially the trumpet. Played in
a band in high school, got into Yukon, went to Yukon,
(34:28):
left midway through his freshman year.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Yeah, he couldn't play for Moron.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
It's just too hard. Calhoun's pain in the ass too.
And then he thought about taking an ulternate path and
playing for Orima, but none of that worked. Insteady enlisted
in the National Guards different time, six month tour of duty,
and when he got back in sixty one, he met
Jerry Garcia. Interesting how the two met when he left
(34:58):
for Yukon, broke up with his girlfriend. His girlfriend then
became Jerry Garcia's girlfriend, and so when Robert Hunter got back,
she was like, Yeah, I'm with this dude, Jerry. I
think you'd like him. And so he and Jerry hit
it off. They started a duo performing together, Bob and Jerry.
Pretty simple the way Saturday name it. But Hunter wasn't
(35:20):
a great player, so Garcia sought out better instrumentalists. Hunter
started writing, he got a book published. He fell in
with Kezy and Ginsburg at the Acid Tests said The
Hallucinations were the inspiration for this one. As a matter
of fact, China Cat kind of see that wrote that
along with Saint Stephen an Alligator, And in sixty five
the Warlocks were formed, becoming the Grateful Dead shortly thereafter,
(35:43):
and they were just kind of doing a lot of covers.
They were terrible at writing lyrics, and so Jerry remembered
his pal and reached out to him and invited Robert
Hunter to be the lyricist for the band. His first
song penned Dark Star about that. He did most of
a oxamwaxa, all of working Man's in American beauty, and
for the next quarter century he and Jerry Garcia perfect pair,
(36:06):
except I had the drugs, well, lots of drugs. He said.
It made it kind of hard. You know, he was
doing something or Jerry was doing something, and if they
were both doing something, they were incredibly unproductive. Same problem
we've had, yes, exactly, yet we've made it work all
these years.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
He started working with other artists, Bruce Hornsby.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
If you guys some go to Hornsby.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Have you ever met Bruce Hornsby. I still hope to
get a job Elvis Costello. He wrote a couple songs
with Dylan los Lobel's solo material went into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame with the Dead in nineteen
ninety four as a member. He is the only non
performer to ever be honored as such, to be reducted
(36:51):
with the.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
Band handed him like a tambourine or anything.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
No, I guess he was that bad. Hey, you can
you can write some lyrics, Robert, but god damn, you're.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
Don't tell me this town had got no heart.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Around. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame
in twenty fifteen. Said his favorite line he ever wrote, uh,
let it be known there was a fountain that was
not made by the hands of men. Married three kids.
Brilliant poet no longer with us, Robert Hunter.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
I thought his best line was, Hey, suck it, Jerry Matt,
all right now that you got to do your grateful
bad talk and you got it so fun. He got
to say, like instead of just calling the song China
cats on fire, to go like this.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Get how it goes into writer. You should transition and
it gets into writer.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Man, you know that's not their side. That's an old westerday. Uh,
you need to be punished because of your haughtiness. Come on,
and that's why the Big Bang theory is going to
blow up right in your face. Hey, you get Paige
from me. That's cool, You'll get paid. You're beginning to cool.
One of Matt's favorite shows everlop.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
I finally watched an episod so like eight months ago,
so good, right, just really upset. Melissa Rousch is.

play hooray for Hollywood on instrumental please. Born to David
and Susan Rousch in Marlborough Township, a smoking ass town.
You got a smokers.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Each second you're born, you get a pack of smokes.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
She developed an interest in acting at Marlborough High School,
home of the Smokers, so much so that her bar
Miss r. Bochnitz excuse me, had a comedy club theme.
She graduated from Marymount Manhattan College, home of the Superseeds,
the bachelor degree super super Chicks. Yes, oh okay, bachelor's
(38:49):
degree in Fine Arts. She started out with smaller roles
in film and television. However, Matt two thousand and nine
Big Break, she landed her breakthrough role as Bernadette Roston
Kowski Wolowitz in your favorite show ever, The Big Bang Theory.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
I can't get enough of it.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
The role of a lifetime.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
It's a real level off, Tom.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
She was a co worker of Penny, the other chick
from the Big Bang Theory.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
It's Penny the main chick.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Yeah, the main chick. Yeah. She was a co worker

What goes in the Rider?
Speaker 4 (39:58):
Give me the writers on the storm? No, stupid ass,
I know you ride, you dumb.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Ass transition man, it just gets me going. Stupid gets
me going.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
Oh, Mary Mount Manhattan College is home of the Griffins.
I'm sorry. I thought it was the Superseed. I thought
it was a Supersedu. She's been in all kinds of
other stuff, The Office, kath and Kim. I love you man.
She made a movie.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
I love him so good.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
Hey, people stop you at the airport.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
This is how we're starting to show how Joe.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
She did some Harley Quinn voiceover, which is good. He
loved some Harley Quinn voice I'm very sexy, ne'er do
well of a woman. And then she was the star
of the Night Court revival that just recently came out.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Did you ever watch that?
Speaker 4 (40:49):
I did not, and SS been canceled.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
It's too bad.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
It premiered on NBC on January seventeen. It was canceled
after three seasons due to you guessed it, love viewership.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Tough to watch sitcom these days now.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
I thought the most important thing about Rausch Matt was
that she married this guy named Winston.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Bigel, Winston Bigel, and he changed his name, so he
became Winston Rausch. Correct could have just kept Bigel, you know,
let her keep Rousch, that's but instead he became Rauch.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
He became Winston Rausch. Tim Kates has slowly shaking his head.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
You know, there could be there could be something.
Speaker 4 (41:36):
Even Ben Haffner, who's relatively progressive, maybe.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
There's extenuating circumstances. The guys, Hey, let's try this hat on, huh.
Maybe maybe future in laws the parents say, we lost
his son. He would have carried our name on. We
would be now our name will no longer.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
If she had a brother that died.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Maybe that's my old Winnie. I just decided to take
on raush Marlborough High.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
School, Home of the Smokes. That nothing there, just there.
But you know that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
You know it could be something like that. You never
know before we judge.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
I'm not judging.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
I just think it was. You know, we saw him.
Speaker 4 (42:13):
Tim, Tim actually wanted to change his last name because
his wife's last name.
Speaker 3 (42:16):

popular on MTV as I don't know, take your pick
out on Warwick. She she became. It was an infomercial.
(03:40):
It's like a one minute commercial, but it ran on
MTV like crazy. Miss Cleo was paid seventeen hundred and
fifty dollars for the three separate commercials she filmed. The
psychic howk line was generating twenty four million dollars a
month for two years straight.
Speaker 4 (03:59):

It's Spilboorgs that puts Santa Barbara High School on the
map and then you see Santa Barbara. Let's go Couchoes.
Of course, he's a hero and the Rockies franchise. Former
(14:33):
Rockies outfielder, we love him on Rockies TV, Apple TV

You hear him daily on Serious x m MLB Radio.
Dodgers in Colorado tomorrow joining us right now on your
Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. It is Ryan Spilboorgs.
(14:53):
What's cracking? Ryan? How are you.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
So nice to me? I appreciate that you get me
so far. It's like every time like a lot. I
feel like when someone makes a nice compliment about like
a haircut or you know, the outfit that you're wearing.
You know, like it just feels good. So I appreciate
the introp.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Come on your jeans, Cats in the world by storm
and now all the beautiful are those seven g h
and all all of the all of the other sports
are gone spillboards. Now it's just you straight on till
morning all through summer. Do you feel like, uh, do
you feel like baseball is ready to step in the limelight.
I mean, it's been a lot of fun this season
so far. Have you had fun traveling around doing your job?
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Of course?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Well?
Speaker 5 (15:35):
And you know what's great about you know the boys
of Summers that finally and like watching the end of
that NBA Finals, it was so disheartening to watch Haliburton
get knocked out, like that sucked. But as far as
like baseball does, what's amazing about baseball and the parody
of the sport is that, like the players have gotten
(15:57):
so much better, like they're they're superstars and actually every market, Uh,
you guys just saw this last week with it with
Padres and Dodgers, Like god, like we love rivalries like that.
Like like even with the NBA Finals, they didn't have
the tension of what the Dodgers and Padres have, you know,
like and that's that's what's so nice about the sport.
(16:17):
We have partners are about to start a big series
against the against the Cubs. It's the first time they've
met this year. There's just there's just a lot when
it comes to parody rivalries. The overall talent, like right
now around Major League Baseball is the best we've ever had.
There's some fascinating stories, you know, like Aaron Judge is
(16:37):
he can he hit you know, sixty five homers. There's
a guy with the best nickname in the sport and
big dumper Cal Ratley playing in Seattle, he already has
more homers. Right now, he has thirty one homers as
a catcher, which is more than like Johnny Bench ever
had before in All Start Break. So, like like we
were just talking about like amazing stories around the.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Sport, great stuff on MLB Radio with Spillboards and CJ.
Nik Kowski on Loudouts? Does it there? Does it for
the Rockies? As you mentioned? P does it for Apple TV?
Go back in time recent history? You mentioned the Padres series. Ryan,
just kind of where you come out as someone that
stood in the batter's box. I don't know if you
ever felt like you were intentionally hit, but I'm sure
(17:19):
you got hit by a pitch quite a few times
in your career. Like what did you make of that
whole thing? And the way that Shilton Dave Roberts kind
of reacted to it, the way oh Tani reacted after
he got drilled with a ninety eight mile an hour
fastball that was kind of close to his head. What's
the takeaway there?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
So a lot of things. First off, as far as
I go Tani getting hit, I kind of appreciate it
from a Padres standpoint. I mean, like they are sticking
up for their own player, and they're going after the
best player on the Dodgers team, and that's so tany
the best player on the planet. So I like that
they didn't back down, which makes this thing a little
bit more juicy. I think if Dave Roberts was in
(17:58):
the same situation, is Mike Schild where if it was
you know, Mookie bats or Freddy Freeman and guys are
trying to throw up and in and they're drilling him
multiple times, like Dave's gonna have enough of it. So
I think you can see it from both sides. I
think you understand, like you know, there's a there's a
way to go about handling the things between the lines,
(18:20):
and I think the patres did a good job, and
I understand the reaction of Dave Roberts, so I like
that there too. I just like that neither team back down,
that they stuck up for each other, and you know, ultimately,
you know, if you're gonna pitch inside and that's it.
That's the thing. Like I think this boils down to,
it's not just like an isolated moment. It wasn't the
(18:41):
first time that Tatis has been hit. You know, you
go back to pot has his reaction on getting hit
by like a oh one fastball where it's not even
on purpose that he's getting drilled. Uh, he had a
poor reaction to it, and then he's of course you
lift read Mike Schild going like, who the heck are you?
It's like, we're not trying to drill you. So like
(19:03):
all these things kind of led up to it, so
it's not you know, it's not an isolated incident. This
goes back years. Like to give you an idea, like
Fernando Tatis has been hit five times by the Dodgers
since twenty and twenty three, that's the most of any team,
and he's been hit three times in two straight series.
And like, Fernando's the best player on the Padres and
(19:25):
if you look at the first half of the season,
he is putting up an MVP season until he got
hit on a Friday night game that I was there
by Mitch Keller and Pittsburgh, and like his numbers dropped.
So you know, again, like the reactions are you can't
take it in the vacuum because there's so much history
in baseball. You have to understand, you know, what happened
(19:46):
the week before and the week before and the week
before and wiser tension. So, like I said, I love it.
I think it's great that both teams aren't backing down
on one another so.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Much more we can get you. But I want to
stick with this because you know, people say, like Trevino
was talking to our David vasse after and he's like, look,
I haven't hit a guy in four years. I've hit
this guy twice. I'm not meaning to do it, but
he crowds the plate and that's how I've got to
pitch him. I've got to pitch him inside or I
can't be an effective pitcher. Like how much of that
do you kind of read into the how much tatise
(20:18):
is getting hit? And then the second part is in
a situation like Piz with someone that's behind him in Conforto,
how much does that change the way pitchers are thrown
to a guy that's the hottest hitter on the Dodgers
when behind him is a guy that's won for his
last twenty three Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Well, first off, like nobody's gonna hit Paees on purpose
because Conforto, like that's just not going to happen. So
that's that's a little bit more steel on this one
as far as like what Travino's saying. And we talked
to Travinos same thing on serious excent, and he said
so much She's like, I wasn't trying to hit him.
But if you go back and he look at the
(20:54):
way the pitch just came out of Trevino's hand, it
takes off so like and is you know, crowding the plate? Sure,
is that part of the game. Yes, But I will
point out, you know a lot of it changes around
major League baseball, Like when when when I played, Like,
if you're gonna throw a fastball inside, it's like you're
(21:15):
throwing a four steamer and you're trying to throw it inside. Now,
what guys are doing is that they're using the movement
of the pitch to take off. So for example, like
if they're gonna throw a forcing fastball, they'll set up middle.
If they throw a cutter, they set up middle. But
they call clared because up pitch will naturally move to
the outside porsch of the plate. If they're calling for inside,
(21:36):
they're gonna ask for a sinker and let the ball
like naturally run inside. And like some of these guys
just don't have command that pitch. So even though that's
part of the scouting report. You're asking some pitchers to
do things that they probably shouldn't be asked to do,
and that's that's where you have this This catch twenty
(21:56):
two is like, Okay, Fernanda's on top of the plate,
but you're asking you know, like the little kid that
came in and drill Tatis on that Thursday, like had
no business commanding the two seam fastball in Like that's
not that's not a strength for him. And so, yeah,
you're pitching to a scouting report, but you're asking some
pitchers to do something that they're not accustomed to doing consistently.
(22:19):
And so that's the repercussion you get is if you're
on quork, won it hit their best player? There has
to be a return, especially if it's if he's been
multiple times spelling.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
The Dodgers are coming to town. Uh, we spent all
winter talking about how it's the great greatest look at
baseball team in the history of the world, anointed by God,
and uh, maybe it's still that way, but they certainly
look a lot different. Uh what do you make of
the season they've had so far? They're obviously pretty.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Good, they're they're really good.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Uh we.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
You know for a team that's had so many injuries.
You know, like Tyler glasnow is starting a rehab assignment.
We saw Rookie to get transferred to sixty day al
you know, the you know Bobby Beller's interplan. Thought he
was gonna be a stud. You know, you have all
these different players and they're just they've become such a
machine that it's hard to discredit them. And like even
(23:17):
as you're watching them and even when they're like not
quote unquote at their best, they still find ways to win.
And so that's that's the thing about this group where
I think the culture that they've built and they're understanding
of like doing the little things as an organization to win,
I think that's what's allowed them to be so predict
(23:40):
and so consistent even though they don't have like all
their best bulls. Does that make sense? Like, yes, they
created this this and I don't want to like call
it a college program, but they found like a Dodger's
way to win. Like they'll do little things. They'll score,
they'll walk, they'll hit with two drakes, they'll you know,
(24:01):
they'll add on, they'll they'll put a shut down any
like they do it with every guy that he usually
called gets called up. So that's the part where as
much as people want to like diss the Dodgers, they've
created a culture of winning that I don't think is
matched around the rest of the league.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
What do you think just because obviously here in LA
we'd love to see it based on how it ended
last year for Clayton Kershaw where he couldn't play in
the postseason, Like when is this a guy that can
pitch in the playoffs, Like when you're watching these last
few starts, when he's been a lot better after he's
settled in. Is is he someone that you think, with
all the talent they have, if it's healthy, that you
(24:38):
could see get the ball in October?
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Yeah, of course. I just don't think you're going to
see him rip through a lineup three times. I think
you're going to see what the Dodgers have develops in
the last couple of years, which is like starters don't
eat up innings. That's just their thing. They have not
like Dodgers have been near the autumn baseball last like
five years as far as starters innings pitch. They just
(25:04):
recognized like two times through the lineup yes, third time
through no, uh, and then they build up a bullpen
that has, you know, ability to match up with anybody
the rest of the game. So yeah, one hundred percent
Kershaw can pitch in the postseason. It's just he's not
going to get he's not going to get deep into
the games. There's no way that you know, the calculus
(25:25):
will ever say, hey, Kershaw is good for nine innings tonight,
Like you're just not going to see that. And I think, yeah,
it's okay. I think that that's totally okay because that's
part of again, the culture of winning that I see
that the daughters are built.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Before we let you go. We know you got to go.
The Rockies are playing better. I know Joel Klatt's not
hitting second, but they are playing better. How is how
is it there? It's a it's an interesting situation this year.
And I know that it's the weather is cooled off
a little as well.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Yeah, I mean I have a problem with it like
last season, Like if if I'm going to talk trash
about the White Sox a year ago, I have to,
you know, paint the same picture with the Rockies and
this year. And here's here's my perspective on why it
bothers me, like as far as like being within the organization,
(26:15):
like this game that I came up to the big
leagues with, like, yeah, I want them to win. But
from a like a global perspective, the problem that you
have when a team is this historically bad is that
it skews the rest of the divisions. It weighs on
other teams that don't have the same advantage of playing
the Rockies thirteen times a year. And so last year,
(26:37):
when the White Sox were as bad as they were,
it skewed the postseason because you have the Detroit Tiger's
getting in and you had the Kansas City Royal squeaking in.
Both teams squeaked in because they went twelve to one
against the White Sox. So right now you have another
another historically bad team. And so the Padres, the Diamondbacks,
(26:57):
the Giants, and the Dodgers have a competitive advantage actually
east in the NL Central. And that's where I don't
like it, because you don't want to have a singular team,
you know, like for example, the the Mets fall short
right like, they spent three hundred million dollars for their team, uh,
and they fall short because they didn't get the benefit
(27:18):
of playing the Rockies thirteen times, or the Phillies fall short,
or the Cardinals pushing in the trade and they fall short,
Like that's just unfair to teams that are doing everything
in their power to compete. Any have a very weak link.
So it's getting better. They're a little bit more competitive,
but you'll see it in the three games. The Rockies
(27:39):
have a long way to go.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Great Smelly. Listen to them on MLB Radio Loud Outs
with CJ Nikowski. You watch him on Apple TV. Always
love when he takes time out to join.

Our market research indicates that fuego fries are not the
hit we thought they were, because typically if you leave
food out at a radio station, it will be consumed with.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Something about fuego fries. You son of a bitch, you
lost us the contract.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Just pointing out normally food gets eaten immediately, a dirty bastard.
The Figo seemed to be sitting there for a while.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
They weren't even for your show. I know, I just
noticed you ruined the deal.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
It was like a kindergarten class where all the kids
lunches were sitting there waiting for them to grab and
head on out to the little money take fries.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Left the station, turned on the radio and heard what
you're said.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I'm sorry, I'll try. I still love the frosty. The
frosty is fantastic.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Will never go back to the commerce casino.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
No, no, no matter how hard. Well that was the
bicycle where you pushed the Vietnamese egg rolls.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Oh those are the best.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Yes, I would have assumed a lifetime contract with the bike.
You know, one day push you push the Vietnamese aggirl.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
I gotta be honest with you, Matt. They say it's
like riding a bicycle, you know, you never forget. I
don't think I forgot how to do a show at
the bike. No. I think I could be just like
riding a bicycle for the bicycle tribe of Indians. I
love it.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yes, just exactly. We'll reach out to them. They're elders,
the tribal No bicycle, I believe is who's running the
show right now. Runs a tight shipet. Yeah, he's got
timmy ten speed as much he loved you. Yeah, I
love you know you'd walk in. He to have the
Vietnamese girls for you right there.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Yeah, and rides with cyclists is their marketing person. I
love that guy, that's right. Chafing Spandex is another good.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Guy, certainly.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Lord.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, she posts sound out there. You know, Rocket Steve.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
We have a good relationship with Marongo, but it doesn't
mean we can't ride the bis of clad.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I think it kind of does, actually, but it's so far,
I know, but it's really close though. Ninety minutes you're
right from one to red wherever, because I'd be sitting
at the oasis pool.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
You're right about that. I'd be sitting at the bicycle,
eating those delicious Vietnamese egg rolls about eight thousand calories
per roll, and thinking, God, in ninety minutes, it's gonna
hit me. I could be at Morocco and it's gonna
hit me.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
See when I think of the bye you think of that,
I think of Christian losing his lady because he brought
her to see us. And that, of course was.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
The and I know what else?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
The second one, Well, your former teammate falling asleep on
the couch.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
But I knew him well, Herschel Dennis.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Herschel Dennis just showed up, said high and the next
thing you know, he's out for three and.
Speaker 7 (32:37):
A half hours. Well that's a casino life, Yes it is. Hey,
doctor bus is here? Where is he in a room?
Speaker 4 (32:43):
He's been there for six days?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Feel like you tell us that every time we come here.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
He smells like a rhinoceros.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
His ass.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
He's been playing poker for six days. You can't imagine
what it's like in that room. Those were the good
old days es actually where you got the dead guy
birth there in the day.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I do would have been eighty four today, but he
passed away in twenty nineteen. Born Robert Burns, we know
him as Robert Christy Hunter. We know the music that
signature Jerry guitar, the drums, Chritsman in Heart, the harmonies
(33:22):
of Bill or Phil and Jerry. But the lyrics man,
the lyrics poetry that we sing along to. There are
many I could choose from, and I won't do that. Instead,
I will celebrate Robert Hunter by pointing out, born just
(33:43):
outside of Slow, foster child, his father was a terrible
alcoholic and abandoned the family. Mom could not afford the
kids when his life, so Hunter thrived despite his challenging conditions.
He was a foster child for a while, but mom
was able to get him back after a few years.
At eleven, he wrote a fifty page fairy tale book.
(34:06):
He said riding was his escape from his surroundings and
his luck would have it. His mother remarried Norman Hunter,
who was a publisher recognized that Robert had talent, got
him into some creative writing classes. He loved music, was
pretty great at everything, but especially the trumpet. Played in
a band in high school, got into Yukon, went to Yukon,
(34:28):
left midway through his freshman year.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Yeah, he couldn't play for Moron.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
It's just too hard. Calhoun's pain in the ass too.
And then he thought about taking an ulternate path and
playing for Orima, but none of that worked. Insteady enlisted
in the National Guards different time, six month tour of duty,
and when he got back in sixty one, he met
Jerry Garcia. Interesting how the two met when he left
(34:58):
for Yukon, broke up with his girlfriend. His girlfriend then
became Jerry Garcia's girlfriend, and so when Robert Hunter got back,
she was like, Yeah, I'm with this dude, Jerry. I
think you'd like him. And so he and Jerry hit
it off. They started a duo performing together, Bob and Jerry.
Pretty simple the way Saturday name it. But Hunter wasn't
(35:20):
a great player, so Garcia sought out better instrumentalists. Hunter
started writing, he got a book published. He fell in
with Kezy and Ginsburg at the Acid Tests said The
Hallucinations were the inspiration for this one. As a matter
of fact, China Cat kind of see that wrote that
along with Saint Stephen an Alligator, And in sixty five
the Warlocks were formed, becoming the Grateful Dead shortly thereafter,
(35:43):
and they were just kind of doing a lot of covers.
They were terrible at writing lyrics, and so Jerry remembered
his pal and reached out to him and invited Robert
Hunter to be the lyricist for the band. His first
song penned Dark Star about that. He did most of
a oxamwaxa, all of working Man's in American beauty, and
for the next quarter century he and Jerry Garcia perfect pair,
(36:06):
except I had the drugs, well, lots of drugs. He said.
It made it kind of hard. You know, he was
doing something or Jerry was doing something, and if they
were both doing something, they were incredibly unproductive. Same problem
we've had, yes, exactly, yet we've made it work all
these years.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
He started working with other artists, Bruce Hornsby.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
If you guys some go to Hornsby.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Have you ever met Bruce Hornsby. I still hope to
get a job Elvis Costello. He wrote a couple songs
with Dylan los Lobel's solo material went into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame with the Dead in nineteen
ninety four as a member. He is the only non
performer to ever be honored as such, to be reducted
(36:51):
with the.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
Band handed him like a tambourine or anything.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
No, I guess he was that bad. Hey, you can
you can write some lyrics, Robert, but god damn, you're.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
Don't tell me this town had got no heart.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Around. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame
in twenty fifteen. Said his favorite line he ever wrote, uh,
let it be known there was a fountain that was
not made by the hands of men. Married three kids.
Brilliant poet no longer with us, Robert Hunter.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
I thought his best line was, Hey, suck it, Jerry Matt,
all right now that you got to do your grateful
bad talk and you got it so fun. He got
to say, like instead of just calling the song China
cats on fire, to go like this.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Get how it goes into writer. You should transition and
it gets into writer.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Man, you know that's not their side. That's an old westerday. Uh,
you need to be punished because of your haughtiness. Come on,
and that's why the Big Bang theory is going to
blow up right in your face. Hey, you get Paige
from me. That's cool, You'll get paid. You're beginning to cool.
One of Matt's favorite shows everlop.
Speaker 2 (37:59):

She developed an interest in acting at Marlborough High School,
home of the Smokers, so much so that her bar

She graduated from Marymount Manhattan College, home of the Superseeds,

Big Break, she landed her breakthrough role as Bernadette Roston
Kowski Wolowitz in your favorite show ever, The Big Bang Theory.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
I can't get enough of it.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
The role of a lifetime.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
It's a real level off, Tom.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
She was a co worker of Penny, the other chick
from the Big Bang Theory.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
It's Penny the main chick.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Yeah, the main chick. Yeah. She was a co worker

Speaker 2 (40:04):

She did some Harley Quinn voiceover, which is good. He
loved some Harley Quinn voice I'm very sexy, ne'er do
well of a woman. And then she was the star
of the Night Court revival that just recently came out.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Did you ever watch that?
Speaker 4 (40:49):
I did not, and SS been canceled.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
It's too bad.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
It premiered on NBC on January seventeen. It was canceled
after three seasons due to you guessed it, love viewership.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Tough to watch sitcom these days now.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
I thought the most important thing about Rausch Matt was
that she married this guy named Winston.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Bigel, Winston Bigel, and he changed his name, so he
became Winston Rausch. Correct could have just kept Bigel, you know,
let her keep Rousch, that's but instead he became Rauch.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
He became Winston Rausch. Tim Kates has slowly shaking his head.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
You know, there could be there could be something.
Speaker 4 (41:36):
Even Ben Haffner, who's relatively progressive, maybe.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
There's extenuating circumstances. The guys, Hey, let's try this hat on, huh.
Maybe maybe future in laws the parents say, we lost
his son. He would have carried our name on. We
would be now our name will no longer.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
If she had a brother that died.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Maybe that's my old Winnie. I just decided to take
on raush Marlborough High.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
School, Home of the Smokes. That nothing there, just there.
But you know that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
You know it could be something like that. You never
know before we judge.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
I'm not judging.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
I just think it was. You know, we saw him.
Speaker 4 (42:13):
Tim, Tim actually wanted to change his last name because
his wife's last name.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
Is gun That's right, jimmy gun.
