Matt. Change is the only constant in life. And we've
had a lot going on. Vass talked about that. It
was a crazy weekend. We had a lot of conversation
about that. I just got incredible pushback from Kates's weekend
and is Pierce Brosnan revelations. Uh, I'm gonna read you
this tech what what pushback on this? This says petros
(02:00):
You shut your whore mouth. Pierce Brosnan was a badass.
Bond Christmas came twice that year because of him. Yeah, Jones,
did your Timothy Dalton do that for shame? For sure?
Dalton satisfied to share his shame of Bond checks. Okay,
not gonna have Denise Richards Christmas coming twice being that's
(02:25):

because he textoso said so please.

He did have Halle Berry as well.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
She's crazy, don't care to ruin your life. Don't care,
she'll ruin your life, you'll care.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Broston was not that bad because he was GoldenEye and
that produced the greatest video game of all time.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
You're right, You're right, So that.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
That certainly gives him a little bit of credit.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Lazin Bee's the worst, but no one here is gonna
make a lazin Bee call. Okay, So it's easy to
beat up on Piers. So I thought he kind of sucked,
but the movie sucked. It wasn't his fault. The movie sucked.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, Golden, I was okay.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, but he's not out there tussling with cool people
like Grace Jones and Walkin No.
Speaker 3 (03:13):

the Word of the day.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
With his words.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
The word of the day, Matt, Today's word of the
day is cocaine. Okay, we are your cocaine show of record,
big grains fallen show of record. Whenever anybody's touching their nose,
we always believe it has something to do with cocaine.
Uh No, I don't know if Oscar de la Hoya
is going to be on the show anytime sooner if
(06:53):
he is. We love Oscar da la Hoya. But do
you know who Oscar da la Hoya is dating now, Matt?
I do not.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I would like to make a smarmy, smart alecy guess,
but I do not.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Why are you denying America?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Oh? I like her, but she lost a little too
much weight and became kind of a feminista. But no,
Holly Saunders, no freaking Oh yeah. Oscar and Holly have
been together for a while, A little bit of a while,
(07:31):
a couple, no, Holly, a little bit just from working
at Fox, traveled with her a couple of times, and
she was actually very nice lady, but very outward, I
should say. And at that time she was dating Cliff Kingsbury,
the football coach former Texas Texans. Right, yeah, Phoenix Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I think he is now the oc in Washington.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yes, with our guy Austin Eckler.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
And Jaden Daniel.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
But no, she is now with Oscar de la Joya.
And they've been together for a little while. And I
can't say that they're on cocaine here, I just can't.
But if any video ever smacked of cocaine, oh wow,
there's a video of Holly uh just doing a freaky
(08:20):
dance in a very very small Bikinian thong, and then
Oscar de la Hoya shows up in a banana hammock
and just starts swinging it on and they just dance
in this weird sexual way, almost like they're stripping. And
then they took it down, and Holly Saunders then posted this.
(08:44):
After they took it down. We both posted a funny
video an hour ago. It got taken down on both
their accounts due to lames reporting it. I guess some
people really hate to see us having fun. WHOA, but
they said they're not gonna let that win, and there'll
be more content of the same nature in the future. Well,
(09:04):
they'll dance naked together for us, apparently.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
WHOA?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
You like that, Matt, didn't see that even the way
you described that, you should know exactly what's coming, right.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, but then you don't see it coming because like
Oscar's even more naked than hers, and it's not like
they're dancing to be funny. It's like they they're on
like that's how you dance when anyway, yes, Kates.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Maybe this is a good fit for both of these individuals.
They seem like they're having a good time in both
free spirits.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
They do absolutely and if they want to do cocaine,
I got no problem with it. And she loves golf.
Oscar loves golf. It's great.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Hey, come in here and dance with me. What should
I wear?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You're not?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Aanah hammock? How do you want me to dance?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
You come in very awkward, bouncing type of way.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Hell of a video, kids, It's a hell of a
photo the two of them. She does not look like herself.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
She didn't look like herself when I met ten years ago. Yeah,
who is this person?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Like this photo on the TMZ story? Holy hell? What
has happened to her face? Sorry, she looks a little bit.
I don't freak with these sites very often. So's Bezos'
wife worse. Alright, it is time.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
For here's my number, number of the day.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Number of the day.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Do a little straight sports here, huh? Eight thirteen and
twenty one. That would be the Broncos, Chargers and Raiders.
I saw this posted on one of the football sites
in that order. The last time that each of those
teams won the AFC West eight thirteen and twenty one
years ago, as the twenty twenty four campaign is upon
(10:58):
us a reminder that the Chiefs are a nuisance and nightmare,
a Patriots Midwest like scourge on the division that has
been populated with plenty of good teams. Chargers in twenty
eighteen went twelve and four, tied for the best record
in the entire AFC, and lost the second tiebreaker to
a Chiefs team they split with because they went four
and two in the division Chiefs five and one. Twenty
(11:18):
sixteen Raiders suffered the same fate. Both teams finished twelve
and four, but they were swept by Kansas City. So
may it be Bo Nicks and Sean Payton, May it
be Tommy t. Tortatos ap the stash of Gardner Minshew
and the Raiders, or preferably now out of his walking
boot and at practice today justin Herbert Head coach coming
(11:40):
off a national championship at Michigan, Jim Harbaugh and the
Bolts may this season put an end to Patrick Mahomes,
Andy Reid and the Chiefs run of eight consecutive AFC
West titles, complete total domination of a run that many
believe will rival Tom Brady and Bill Belichicks from twenty
(12:03):
oh one to twenty nineteen when they won the division
seventeen of nineteen years and at one point eleven years
in a row. They are clearly still far from that,
but three super Bowls in four years is not easy
to do and the parody is a priority NFL.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
And their quarterback is not old and dying.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
No, he is just entering his prime, so will not
be easy. But those reminder of how long it's been
eight years for the Broncos, thirteen for the Chargers, and
twenty over two decades for the Raiders since they won
the AFC West their division.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Wild Man.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
We will have more Dodger Talk with Justin Turner and
Matt Muddy Smith for the top story of the Day next,
but Justin Turner at five thirty big centerpiece to the

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Fie, fie.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I can't decide if she looks like a ceramic tiger.
Who Holly, Yeah, and this TMZ story. There's a photo
of her from September of twenty l.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
She likes to use the makeup to create the Persian.
I yeah, look at this this text on the text
also regarding the Oscar de la Joia, Holly Saunders love
how Kates rings the bell to go to bat for
coke heads. So telling, so Kate's he's a yak man.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
That's what his plate says, yakman.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Why gotta be so yacked out? Kates?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Good answer.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
This says all that. Plastic surgery says one thing. Cocaine.
Damn right, you'd think of plastic surgery one of these
days would be like, hey, I'll do the surgery. But
maybe just he's up on the Yak Tough Story of
the Day coming up next. Thank you for being with us, everybody. Well,

Speaker 1 (16:54):
All right, it is time for the top story of
the day, top story of.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
It, Well, the story that is making the rounds. Figured
I would dig in and decipher, and I'm sure with
Justin Turner will be able to speak to this a
lot better than I can. I'm just gonna throw a
bunch of numbers at you to see how there it goes.
Hold on, let me get my green visor, yeah, and
my pencil, lick the tip of that graphite pencil and
(17:20):
get ready to do some math, because it's very convenient.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Is it legitimate or is it convenient?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Because the Dodgers aren't running away with the division as
they have the last two seasons, are on pace for
a win total in the mid nineties, is there legitimacy
or is it convenient to point out as a big
piece in the Times today? Miguel Rojas the star of
the piece, top story above the fold. We've been talking
about it for over a month. Ryan Dempster, we asked
(17:50):
him about it when he joined us last week. Are
the Dodgers better off in a tight division race throughout September?
Thereby becoming better prepared for the postseason as September is
a pseudo playoff that they have not had to experience
these last two seasons that have ended in incredible disappointment. Now,
(18:11):
last year, I think it's important to expand this beyond
the Dodgers. The Rangers were a wild card team. They
beat the Rays, they beat the Orioles, and the division
round swept them both knocked off the Astros in Houston.
They got so hot and they were a team that
made it into the postseason by the skin of their teeth.
And that Astros team they knocked off was able to
(18:34):
skip the wildcard round unlike the Rangers, and they of
course the Rangers faced a Diamondbacks team that made it
into the playoffs by the skin of their tea, housed
the Dodgers in the divisional round, and then the Phillies
and the NLCS, a Phillies team, by the way, who
also was struggling to make it in as a wild card,
and hammered a Braves team in the division round that
finished with one hundred and four wins.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
So sitting around for a week in grease and your
puzza with pine tard not necessarily advantageous, especially at twenty
twenty three.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Well, I guess if I'm just speaking specifically to greasing
or putso with pine tart, that is definitely not what
you'd want to grease.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
You understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
I do, But I'm just saying, like, if you're going
to grease your poots, that's probably the last thing you
want to break out. That's ran badly the rest versus Roths.
So last year we say, hey, rest, no good. Twenty
twenty two, yeah, different story. Astros won their game by
six won their division by sixteen games. They took on
the two seed Yankees, who won ninety nine games in
(19:30):
the ALCS and their division by seven games comfortably. Houston
team then went on to win the World Series. Of course,
last year was the Dodgers' greatest that was the Dodgers'
greatest disappointment. In twenty twenty two, the best regular season
in team history, one hundred and eleven wins, twenty two
game advantage in their division. At the end of it all,
they lost in the Divisional round to the Padres. A
(19:53):
wild card Phillies team would rep the NL in the
in the World Series, but lose to Houston. So I
guess we've got three of four teams in the World
Series the last two years that have had to do
it through the wildcard round, fighting to the end of
the regular season, except for the twenty two champs Astros,
who made it there comfortably. And remember now when we
(20:15):
go back a year before that, these last two years
has been the three wildcard team era. Prior to that
was the two wild card team era, where you took
the three division winners. The two wild card teams play
each other, with the higher seed getting home games and
only needed to win one winner that goes on to
face the one seed. Then the two and three square
(20:35):
off in the divisional round. That year, we've talked about
it at Lake, really hard to put stock into it
because the Dodgers and the Giants got totally screwed by
Major League Baseball. They won one hundred and six games,
yet still had to play in the Wild Card, had
to start Max Scherzer, their bullpen got washed out because
sures are only lasted four innings, and then they had
(20:56):
to play the best team in baseball with one hundred
and seven wins, and they still made it to the NLCS,
where they lost to the Braves. An eighty eight win
team that, by the way, had an easy path against
the Brewers, no wild card, but they won their division
by seven games.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
So take it for what it's worth.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
So what does it mean how I'm supposed to take it?
What is it worth?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
That means that, Yeah, okay, there's nothing to that. They
didn't have to compete down the stretch. The Astros didn't
have to compete down the stretch, so okay, we got
one in one. Twenty twenty was the COVID year worth
pointing out, even though the Dodgers ran away with it
a seven to seventeen win percentage, six game advantage in
a sixty game season that was a coast to a championship.
(21:35):
You could argue it was the toughest postseason cause a,
you're not playing in the ballpark because unlike any other sport,
it's not static dimensions. Every ballpark is unique, and you
build your team to play in your ballpark eighty one
games and in the playoffs instead they go to Globe Field.
They did not get a buye out of the wild card.
They had to play a best of three there despite
(21:57):
having the best record in baseball, And then, of course,
the usual divisional championship in a World Series, which of
course they won.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
It was a sprint. It was easy for the Dodgers
to take the West. But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Maybe the grind of the postseason and knowing that it
was going to be a grind was the adversity that
they needed to win their first title since eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I don't know what the hell to make of that.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
I don't put any stock into it, as we're trying
to figure out do they need competition down the stretch
or not? Twenty nineteen, now, chalk it up to the struggle.
Then that's one at all. How far back are we
going to go all the way to win nineteen oh eight?
Walter Alston, Yeah, twenty nineteen, and that's one as a
(22:37):
wildcard team, of course, kicking the pants to the Dodgers.
They won their division by twenty two games booted at
Dodger Stadium and a humiliating capture it in a leroy
Nieman style painting of our boss's great disappointment, leaning with
his head hung low against the ledge of the five
(22:59):
seventy sports. Sweet that was the NATS.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I remember that.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
The Astros reped the al after cruising to an easy
Al West Crown ten game advantage in the best record
in the American League by six games. So yeah, they
didn't seem to need it. They didn't need it down
the stretch. The Dodgers just got kicked in the nuts
by the Nationals. And it's commemorated in a very clever
sports themed artists depiction of a boss losing out on
(23:26):
a million dollars a game does.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
The image that defines a generation.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Indeed, the previous three years they made it to the
World Series back to back years, they lost in the
NLCS in twenty sixteen to the Cubs, a team that
won their division by seventeen and a half games, had
nothing to play for the entire month of September, not
to mention a curse hanging over them, having not won
(23:50):
the World Series since nineteen oh eight, and yet they
managed to win the World Series twenty seventeen, the year
the Dodgers should have won. They won their division easily
eleven games. They hammered the Diamondbacks and the Cubs seven
wins one loss through the Divisional Series and the Championship Series,
and look to be the better team in the World Series.
(24:12):
Had Ken Lee not blown the save in Game two,
they would have an up to zero. Of course, there's
the banging of the trash cans, the weird Game five,
all of that.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
This is twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Now twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
They ran away with their division and they still made
the World Series and probably should have won the World Series.
That's the one that they repeatedly point out. The Astros cheated.
We should have won, so they didn't need competition down
the stretch. Then twenty eighteen, of course, was as tight
as it gets. They had to win a tiebreaker over
Colorado that Game one sixty three to win the division.
They did, Walker Bueler gets the win, and then they
(24:45):
go on to win the divisional series, beat the Brewers
in Milwaukee in a Game seven, punch their ticket to
the postseason. And what they lose to the team with
the best record in baseball from the jump, the Boston
Red Sox, and they won easily in five games, four
to one.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
So here's your final ti is.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
There's a two thousand word piece in the Times about
how good this is going to be for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
This is what does it all mean?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
They made the World Series three times since twenty seventeen
and two of them they ran away with the division
did not have any issues, zero stress in the month
of September. They were more competitive in the World Series
when they dominated the nl West than when they had
to play that game one sixty three. They were most
(25:28):
disappointing as in getting bounced in the divisional round against
a far inferior regular season opponent three times twenty nineteen,
twenty twenty two, and twenty twenty three. In each of
those seasons, they cruised to victory in the division And
I think you can punt on the two losses in
the NLCS because they still made the NLCS. They lost
to the Braves and they lost to the Cubs. So
(25:49):
point being, you want to run around and tell your
friends how much better this is going to be for
the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Hey, this is good. You know they finally they'll get
playoff hardened in the make.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Up a little bit.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, down the stretch, get the padres breathing down your neck.
You're playing for something. End of August. You got that
four game series in Arizona. That's like a playoff. You know,
they get built up, some callous, some card tissue. Yeah,
history says no last eight years, it really has not mattered.
Either they run away with a division and they make
the World Series, they run away with a division, they
(26:22):
get humiliated by the Diamondbacks in the divisional round, or
they run away with a division and lose in the
NLCS in a very tightly contested series because a couple
of the bounces don't go their way. So great story,
convenient for our current circumstances. But I guess the only
reason to say it's better is because it's not what
we've experienced the past two years, where they have won
(26:42):
easily and been humiliated by two teams from the nl
West that they routinely would dominate.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I guess pick your poison.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
It can be whatever you want it to be.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
But I can drink this poison. I'm immune to it.
It happened to me in twenty eight Whoopy back with
more great sports talk. The flip top story of the
day is.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Deck Better Some Money, AM five seventy LA Sports Live

at Thevan's headquarters in Coasta Mesa.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
All Right, Matt, some college football news that is sort
of interesting in the first story will be very interesting
to you. I'm sure you saw some of it. For
Let's take it to Boise, where our old friend Spencer
Danielson is in his first year as the head coach
without the interim label. Former USC quarterback five star recruit
(28:15):
Malachi Nelson from losal High, at one time the number
one quarterback recruit in the country, did not win the
Boise State Quarterback Show after two scrimmages. Our friend, coach,
Spencer Danielson, And this takes a lot of balls, because
(28:35):
I'm paying that guy a lot of money. Spencer Danielson
from Azusa Pacific named the shorter, fatter Maddix Madsen as
the Broncos starter. He's listed at like five to eleven.
Yesterday it was all, yeah, God, probably not that bad,
(28:57):
but he ain't big and Malachi is six ' five.
But yesterday it was all hashed out for the season
opener versus Georgia Southern Clay Helton Squad Hail Southern in Statesville. Nelson,
big nil five star recruit, never competed at USC with
(29:20):
Miller Moss for quarterback two, took the money at Boise
and lost the job that everybody thought was his to
a guy that nobody saw coming.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Mom got a nice person, though, Mom.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Got her dream bag, but that was the USC and
il he was able to get her mother. His aunt
is the one that lives up in Boise, and I
don't know how long he's gonna be there with her.
Now now I applaud Spencer and his offensive coordinator. Do
you know who the offensive coordinator for Boise is this year?
(29:57):
It's not the guy it's not It is Dirtcutter. It's yes,
it is not Bush Hampden from last year. And they
asked Dirk Cutter, like, help us hire the OC and
he's like okay. They're like, well, we got these four guys,
who do you like? And he's like, I don't like
any of them. I'll do it, so dirt.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
No idea.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Dirt Cutter is doing it. Well, he did it two
years ago too, but I applaud him. I applaud Spencer
and Dirt Cutter. Malachi is slow twitch and the arm
is not developed into a huge arm. So this guy,
Madsen is from American Fork High School in Utah. You
(30:40):
want to guess the you're on a roll, Matt, you
want to guess the mascot for that one.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
American Fork.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
American Fork.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
It is one of the great nicknames nationally in all
of high school football.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Okay, I'll go with the place settings.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
They're the cavemen, so they've never seen a place setting
in their lives. The American he's an American Fork caveman
at five to ten, played well a couple times last
year Mount West Freshman of the Week a couple times,
So you can play how do you how long do
you think Malachi is gonna be se know, he'll hang
(31:18):
around all year.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Won't you know what if you think, oh yeah, it'll
just be somewhere else next year.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
And uh, the only reason I'm doing this is because
it's just sort of interesting. But San Diego State has
named their starter as their season gets rolling with their
new head coach, the guy that Dion snubbed and disrespected
one of the more well respected offensive minds in the
(31:44):
country in college football, Sean Lewis first year head coach,
naming Danny O'Neill. Not the one from Oregon when they
lost in the Rose Bowl to Danny O'Neill. Uh yeah,
not that one. Not the great Danny O'Neil from modern
day who lost to Key John Carter and Joe Jarravisius
(32:09):
in the Rose Bowl. This Danny O'Neill is from the Midwest,
although originally from Fullerton and comes from a Cathedral High
School in Indianapolis. He left early high school early. He
is a true freshman. He will be the first true
freshman quarterback to start game one for San Diego State
(32:35):
ever since they've been playing college football since nineteen sixty nine.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Pretty cool designation, designation earned.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
They're gonna roll him out there and see what happens. Well,
it's a new era of San Diego State football. They've
gone from the Brady Hoke defense, death seven safety look
to the run and gun. Maybe one of the more
exciting offensive mind at the lower levels of college football
for a long time when he was at Kent State,
(33:06):
Sean Lewis. So we'll see what Danny O'Neill can do
for the San Diego State Aztecs. Apparently he's a special kid.
But you got to be pretty special to leave early,
win the job, and roll out your freshman year with
your puzzo out before school even starts.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
And if you're going to show up in southern California
and not go by Daniel O'Neill or Dan O'Neill, and
you're gonna put Danny O'Neill out there, boss's biggest.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Boulder, Well, I would name's not Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
You know, hey, listen, don here, thanks, Matt. I mean,
come on, I.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Can name a few guys on that Oregon team that
was like old school Oregon, Rich Brooks before Mike Pollatti Oregon.
That was rich Brooks Oregon where they had Donald Duck
screaming through the oh oh yeah, the helmet, Yeah teammates
logo well, they brought that back, right, Damian Ricketts a
little bit. Damien Ricketts, they brought back everything. Damian Ricketts
(34:06):
was a corner corner for them, a great little corner
from Culver City who was a fabulous high school quarterback
in the South Bay area in his time. Anyway, those
are some updates with some college football teams, San Diego
State naming a starter and Malachi Nelson not the starter
(34:26):
at Boise, the former low South five star recruit. And
we'll be back with another hour of great sports talk

A lot of moving parts, a lot of moving parts
(01:27):
around the Dodgers, Guys coming in, guys going out. One
of our favorites is gone, and a lot of change.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Matt. Change is the only constant in life. And we've
had a lot going on. Vass talked about that. It
was a crazy weekend. We had a lot of conversation
about that. I just got incredible pushback from Kates's weekend
and is Pierce Brosnan revelations. Uh, I'm gonna read you
this tech what what pushback on this? This says petros
(02:00):
You shut your whore mouth. Pierce Brosnan was a badass.
Bond Christmas came twice that year because of him. Yeah, Jones,
did your Timothy Dalton do that for shame? For sure?
Dalton satisfied to share his shame of Bond checks. Okay,
not gonna have Denise Richards Christmas coming twice being that's
(02:25):
the that's the water mark of Bond with Pierce Brosnan
because he textoso said so please.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
He did have Halle Berry as well.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
She's crazy, don't care to ruin your life. Don't care,
she'll ruin your life, you'll care.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Broston was not that bad because he was GoldenEye and
that produced the greatest video game of all time.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
You're right, You're right, So that.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
That certainly gives him a little bit of credit.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Lazin Bee's the worst, but no one here is gonna
make a lazin Bee call. Okay, So it's easy to
beat up on Piers. So I thought he kind of sucked,
but the movie sucked. It wasn't his fault. The movie sucked.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, Golden, I was okay.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, but he's not out there tussling with cool people
like Grace Jones and Walkin No.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
But it was commis and it was kind of you know,
made you yearn for the Cold War that had just disappeared.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It's like, ah, I remember the Cold War. Those were
the DS.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, but they didn't have Jaws or an Asian guy
with a bowler hat.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
No Octopussy, none of it.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
None of that's not russy galore. Thank you. I'm glad

the side, but it just reclines.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
If you got a leather one and then got a
denim one, and you can put them together and say,
tenemon leather brought us together.

would consummate our relationship on the denimon leather while listening

the Word of the day.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
With his words.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
The word of the day, Matt, Today's word of the
day is cocaine. Okay, we are your cocaine show of record,
big grains fallen show of record. Whenever anybody's touching their nose,
we always believe it has something to do with cocaine.
Uh No, I don't know if Oscar de la Hoya
is going to be on the show anytime sooner if
(06:53):
he is. We love Oscar da la Hoya. But do
you know who Oscar da la Hoya is dating now, Matt?
I do not.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I would like to make a smarmy, smart alecy guess,
but I do not.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Why are you denying America?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Oh? I like her, but she lost a little too
much weight and became kind of a feminista. But no,
Holly Saunders, no freaking Oh yeah. Oscar and Holly have
been together for a while, A little bit of a while,
(07:31):
a couple, no, Holly, a little bit just from working
at Fox, traveled with her a couple of times, and
she was actually very nice lady, but very outward, I
should say. And at that time she was dating Cliff Kingsbury,
the football coach former Texas Texans. Right, yeah, Phoenix Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I think he is now the oc in Washington.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yes, with our guy Austin Eckler.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
And Jaden Daniel.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
But no, she is now with Oscar de la Joya.
And they've been together for a little while. And I
can't say that they're on cocaine here, I just can't.
But if any video ever smacked of cocaine, oh wow,
there's a video of Holly uh just doing a freaky
(08:20):
dance in a very very small Bikinian thong, and then
Oscar de la Hoya shows up in a banana hammock
and just starts swinging it on and they just dance
in this weird sexual way, almost like they're stripping. And
then they took it down, and Holly Saunders then posted this.
(08:44):
After they took it down. We both posted a funny
video an hour ago. It got taken down on both
their accounts due to lames reporting it. I guess some
people really hate to see us having fun. WHOA, but
they said they're not gonna let that win, and there'll
be more content of the same nature in the future. Well,
(09:04):
they'll dance naked together for us, apparently.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
WHOA?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
You like that, Matt, didn't see that even the way
you described that, you should know exactly what's coming, right.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, but then you don't see it coming because like
Oscar's even more naked than hers, and it's not like
they're dancing to be funny. It's like they they're on
like that's how you dance when anyway, yes, Kates.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Maybe this is a good fit for both of these individuals.
They seem like they're having a good time in both
free spirits.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
They do absolutely and if they want to do cocaine,
I got no problem with it. And she loves golf.
Oscar loves golf. It's great.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Hey, come in here and dance with me. What should
I wear?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You're not?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Aanah hammock? How do you want me to dance?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
You come in very awkward, bouncing type of way.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Hell of a video, kids, It's a hell of a
photo the two of them. She does not look like herself.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
She didn't look like herself when I met ten years ago. Yeah,
who is this person?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Like this photo on the TMZ story? Holy hell? What
has happened to her face? Sorry, she looks a little bit.
I don't freak with these sites very often. So's Bezos'
wife worse. Alright, it is time.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
For here's my number, number of the day.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Number of the day.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Do a little straight sports here, huh? Eight thirteen and
twenty one. That would be the Broncos, Chargers and Raiders.
I saw this posted on one of the football sites
in that order. The last time that each of those
teams won the AFC West eight thirteen and twenty one
years ago, as the twenty twenty four campaign is upon
(10:58):
us a reminder that the Chiefs are a nuisance and nightmare,
a Patriots Midwest like scourge on the division that has
been populated with plenty of good teams. Chargers in twenty
eighteen went twelve and four, tied for the best record
in the entire AFC, and lost the second tiebreaker to
a Chiefs team they split with because they went four
and two in the division Chiefs five and one. Twenty
(11:18):
sixteen Raiders suffered the same fate. Both teams finished twelve
and four, but they were swept by Kansas City. So
may it be Bo Nicks and Sean Payton, May it
be Tommy t. Tortatos ap the stash of Gardner Minshew
and the Raiders, or preferably now out of his walking
boot and at practice today justin Herbert Head coach coming
(11:40):
off a national championship at Michigan, Jim Harbaugh and the
Bolts may this season put an end to Patrick Mahomes,
Andy Reid and the Chiefs run of eight consecutive AFC
West titles, complete total domination of a run that many
believe will rival Tom Brady and Bill Belichicks from twenty
(12:03):
oh one to twenty nineteen when they won the division
seventeen of nineteen years and at one point eleven years
in a row. They are clearly still far from that,
but three super Bowls in four years is not easy
to do and the parody is a priority NFL.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
And their quarterback is not old and dying.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
No, he is just entering his prime, so will not
be easy. But those reminder of how long it's been
eight years for the Broncos, thirteen for the Chargers, and
twenty over two decades for the Raiders since they won
the AFC West their division.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Wild Man.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
We will have more Dodger Talk with Justin Turner and
Matt Muddy Smith for the top story of the Day next,

Speaker 3 (13:51):
I can't decide if she looks like a ceramic tiger.
Who Holly, Yeah, and this TMZ story. There's a photo
of her from September of twenty l.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
She likes to use the makeup to create the Persian.
I yeah, look at this this text on the text
also regarding the Oscar de la Joia, Holly Saunders love
how Kates rings the bell to go to bat for
coke heads. So telling, so Kate's he's a yak man.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
That's what his plate says, yakman.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Why gotta be so yacked out? Kates?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Good answer.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
This says all that. Plastic surgery says one thing. Cocaine.
Damn right, you'd think of plastic surgery one of these
days would be like, hey, I'll do the surgery. But
maybe just he's up on the Yak Tough Story of
the Day coming up next. Thank you for being with us, everybody. Well,

some of the prizes we're given away and of course,
a ton of tickets to Dodgers and Chargers games.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
All right, it is time for the top story of
the day, top story of.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
It, Well, the story that is making the rounds. Figured
I would dig in and decipher, and I'm sure with
Justin Turner will be able to speak to this a
lot better than I can. I'm just gonna throw a
bunch of numbers at you to see how there it goes.
Hold on, let me get my green visor, yeah, and
my pencil, lick the tip of that graphite pencil and
(17:20):
get ready to do some math, because it's very convenient.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Is it legitimate or is it convenient?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Because the Dodgers aren't running away with the division as
they have the last two seasons, are on pace for
a win total in the mid nineties, is there legitimacy
or is it convenient to point out as a big
piece in the Times today? Miguel Rojas the star of
the piece, top story above the fold. We've been talking
about it for over a month. Ryan Dempster, we asked
(17:50):
him about it when he joined us last week. Are
the Dodgers better off in a tight division race throughout September?
Thereby becoming better prepared for the postseason as September is
a pseudo playoff that they have not had to experience
these last two seasons that have ended in incredible disappointment. Now,
(18:11):
last year, I think it's important to expand this beyond
the Dodgers. The Rangers were a wild card team. They
beat the Rays, they beat the Orioles, and the division
round swept them both knocked off the Astros in Houston.
They got so hot and they were a team that
made it into the postseason by the skin of their teeth.
And that Astros team they knocked off was able to
(18:34):
skip the wildcard round unlike the Rangers, and they of
course the Rangers faced a Diamondbacks team that made it
into the playoffs by the skin of their tea, housed
the Dodgers in the divisional round, and then the Phillies
and the NLCS, a Phillies team, by the way, who
also was struggling to make it in as a wild card,
and hammered a Braves team in the division round that
finished with one hundred and four wins.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
So sitting around for a week in grease and your
puzza with pine tard not necessarily advantageous, especially at twenty
twenty three.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Well, I guess if I'm just speaking specifically to greasing
or putso with pine tart, that is definitely not what
you'd want to grease.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
You understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
I do, But I'm just saying, like, if you're going
to grease your poots, that's probably the last thing you
want to break out. That's ran badly the rest versus Roths.
So last year we say, hey, rest, no good. Twenty
twenty two, yeah, different story. Astros won their game by
six won their division by sixteen games. They took on
the two seed Yankees, who won ninety nine games in
(19:30):
the ALCS and their division by seven games comfortably. Houston
team then went on to win the World Series. Of course,
last year was the Dodgers' greatest that was the Dodgers'
greatest disappointment. In twenty twenty two, the best regular season
in team history, one hundred and eleven wins, twenty two
game advantage in their division. At the end of it all,
they lost in the Divisional round to the Padres. A
(19:53):
wild card Phillies team would rep the NL in the
in the World Series, but lose to Houston. So I
guess we've got three of four teams in the World
Series the last two years that have had to do
it through the wildcard round, fighting to the end of
the regular season, except for the twenty two champs Astros,
who made it there comfortably. And remember now when we
(20:15):
go back a year before that, these last two years
has been the three wildcard team era. Prior to that
was the two wild card team era, where you took
the three division winners. The two wild card teams play
each other, with the higher seed getting home games and
only needed to win one winner that goes on to
face the one seed. Then the two and three square
(20:35):
off in the divisional round. That year, we've talked about
it at Lake, really hard to put stock into it
because the Dodgers and the Giants got totally screwed by
Major League Baseball. They won one hundred and six games,
yet still had to play in the Wild Card, had
to start Max Scherzer, their bullpen got washed out because
sures are only lasted four innings, and then they had
(20:56):
to play the best team in baseball with one hundred
and seven wins, and they still made it to the NLCS,
where they lost to the Braves. An eighty eight win
team that, by the way, had an easy path against
the Brewers, no wild card, but they won their division
by seven games.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
So take it for what it's worth.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
So what does it mean how I'm supposed to take it?
What is it worth?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
That means that, Yeah, okay, there's nothing to that. They
didn't have to compete down the stretch. The Astros didn't
have to compete down the stretch, so okay, we got
one in one. Twenty twenty was the COVID year worth
pointing out, even though the Dodgers ran away with it
a seven to seventeen win percentage, six game advantage in
a sixty game season that was a coast to a championship.
(21:35):
You could argue it was the toughest postseason cause a,
you're not playing in the ballpark because unlike any other sport,
it's not static dimensions. Every ballpark is unique, and you
build your team to play in your ballpark eighty one
games and in the playoffs instead they go to Globe Field.
They did not get a buye out of the wild card.
They had to play a best of three there despite
(21:57):
having the best record in baseball, And then, of course,
the usual divisional championship in a World Series, which of
course they won.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
It was a sprint. It was easy for the Dodgers
to take the West. But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Maybe the grind of the postseason and knowing that it
was going to be a grind was the adversity that
they needed to win their first title since eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I don't know what the hell to make of that.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
I don't put any stock into it, as we're trying
to figure out do they need competition down the stretch
or not? Twenty nineteen, now, chalk it up to the struggle.
Then that's one at all. How far back are we
going to go all the way to win nineteen oh eight?
Walter Alston, Yeah, twenty nineteen, and that's one as a
(22:37):
wildcard team, of course, kicking the pants to the Dodgers.
They won their division by twenty two games booted at
Dodger Stadium and a humiliating capture it in a leroy
Nieman style painting of our boss's great disappointment, leaning with
his head hung low against the ledge of the five
(22:59):
seventy sports. Sweet that was the NATS.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I remember that.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
The Astros reped the al after cruising to an easy
Al West Crown ten game advantage in the best record
in the American League by six games. So yeah, they
didn't seem to need it. They didn't need it down
the stretch. The Dodgers just got kicked in the nuts
by the Nationals. And it's commemorated in a very clever
sports themed artists depiction of a boss losing out on
(23:26):
a million dollars a game does.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
The image that defines a generation.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Indeed, the previous three years they made it to the
World Series back to back years, they lost in the
NLCS in twenty sixteen to the Cubs, a team that
won their division by seventeen and a half games, had
nothing to play for the entire month of September, not
to mention a curse hanging over them, having not won
(23:50):
the World Series since nineteen oh eight, and yet they
managed to win the World Series twenty seventeen, the year
the Dodgers should have won. They won their division easily
eleven games. They hammered the Diamondbacks and the Cubs seven
wins one loss through the Divisional Series and the Championship Series,
and look to be the better team in the World Series.
(24:12):
Had Ken Lee not blown the save in Game two,
they would have an up to zero. Of course, there's
the banging of the trash cans, the weird Game five,
all of that.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
This is twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Now twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
They ran away with their division and they still made
the World Series and probably should have won the World Series.
That's the one that they repeatedly point out. The Astros cheated.
We should have won, so they didn't need competition down
the stretch. Then twenty eighteen, of course, was as tight
as it gets. They had to win a tiebreaker over
Colorado that Game one sixty three to win the division.
They did, Walker Bueler gets the win, and then they
(24:45):
go on to win the divisional series, beat the Brewers
in Milwaukee in a Game seven, punch their ticket to
the postseason. And what they lose to the team with
the best record in baseball from the jump, the Boston
Red Sox, and they won easily in five games, four
to one.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
So here's your final ti is.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
There's a two thousand word piece in the Times about
how good this is going to be for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
This is what does it all mean?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
They made the World Series three times since twenty seventeen
and two of them they ran away with the division
did not have any issues, zero stress in the month
of September. They were more competitive in the World Series
when they dominated the nl West than when they had
to play that game one sixty three. They were most
(25:28):
disappointing as in getting bounced in the divisional round against
a far inferior regular season opponent three times twenty nineteen,
twenty twenty two, and twenty twenty three. In each of
those seasons, they cruised to victory in the division And
I think you can punt on the two losses in
the NLCS because they still made the NLCS. They lost
to the Braves and they lost to the Cubs. So
(25:49):
point being, you want to run around and tell your
friends how much better this is going to be for
the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Hey, this is good. You know they finally they'll get
playoff hardened in the make.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Up a little bit.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, down the stretch, get the padres breathing down your neck.
You're playing for something. End of August. You got that
four game series in Arizona. That's like a playoff. You know,
they get built up, some callous, some card tissue. Yeah,
history says no last eight years, it really has not mattered.
Either they run away with a division and they make
the World Series, they run away with a division, they
(26:22):
get humiliated by the Diamondbacks in the divisional round, or
they run away with a division and lose in the
NLCS in a very tightly contested series because a couple
of the bounces don't go their way. So great story,
convenient for our current circumstances. But I guess the only
reason to say it's better is because it's not what
we've experienced the past two years, where they have won
(26:42):
easily and been humiliated by two teams from the nl
West that they routinely would dominate.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I guess pick your poison.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
It can be whatever you want it to be.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
But I can drink this poison. I'm immune to it.
It happened to me in twenty eight Whoopy back with
more great sports talk. The flip top story of the
day is.
Speaker 3 (27:07):

at Thevan's headquarters in Coasta Mesa.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
All Right, Matt, some college football news that is sort
of interesting in the first story will be very interesting
to you. I'm sure you saw some of it. For
Let's take it to Boise, where our old friend Spencer
Danielson is in his first year as the head coach
without the interim label. Former USC quarterback five star recruit
(28:15):
Malachi Nelson from losal High, at one time the number
one quarterback recruit in the country, did not win the
Boise State Quarterback Show after two scrimmages. Our friend, coach,
Spencer Danielson, And this takes a lot of balls, because
(28:35):
I'm paying that guy a lot of money. Spencer Danielson
from Azusa Pacific named the shorter, fatter Maddix Madsen as
the Broncos starter. He's listed at like five to eleven.
Yesterday it was all, yeah, God, probably not that bad,
(28:57):
but he ain't big and Malachi is six ' five.
But yesterday it was all hashed out for the season
opener versus Georgia Southern Clay Helton Squad Hail Southern in Statesville. Nelson,
big nil five star recruit, never competed at USC with
(29:20):
Miller Moss for quarterback two, took the money at Boise
and lost the job that everybody thought was his to
a guy that nobody saw coming.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Mom got a nice person, though, Mom.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Got her dream bag, but that was the USC and
il he was able to get her mother. His aunt
is the one that lives up in Boise, and I
don't know how long he's gonna be there with her.
Now now I applaud Spencer and his offensive coordinator. Do
you know who the offensive coordinator for Boise is this year?
(29:57):
It's not the guy it's not It is Dirtcutter. It's yes,
it is not Bush Hampden from last year. And they
asked Dirk Cutter, like, help us hire the OC and
he's like okay. They're like, well, we got these four guys,
who do you like? And he's like, I don't like
any of them. I'll do it, so dirt.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
No idea.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Dirt Cutter is doing it. Well, he did it two
years ago too, but I applaud him. I applaud Spencer
and Dirt Cutter. Malachi is slow twitch and the arm
is not developed into a huge arm. So this guy,
Madsen is from American Fork High School in Utah. You
(30:40):
want to guess the you're on a roll, Matt, you
want to guess the mascot for that one.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
American Fork.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
American Fork.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
It is one of the great nicknames nationally in all
of high school football.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Okay, I'll go with the place settings.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
They're the cavemen, so they've never seen a place setting
in their lives. The American he's an American Fork caveman
at five to ten, played well a couple times last
year Mount West Freshman of the Week a couple times,
So you can play how do you how long do
you think Malachi is gonna be se know, he'll hang
(31:18):
around all year.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Won't you know what if you think, oh yeah, it'll
just be somewhere else next year.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
And uh, the only reason I'm doing this is because
it's just sort of interesting. But San Diego State has
named their starter as their season gets rolling with their
new head coach, the guy that Dion snubbed and disrespected
one of the more well respected offensive minds in the
(31:44):
country in college football, Sean Lewis first year head coach,
naming Danny O'Neill. Not the one from Oregon when they
lost in the Rose Bowl to Danny O'Neill. Uh yeah,
not that one. Not the great Danny O'Neil from modern
day who lost to Key John Carter and Joe Jarravisius
(32:09):
in the Rose Bowl. This Danny O'Neill is from the Midwest,
although originally from Fullerton and comes from a Cathedral High
School in Indianapolis. He left early high school early. He
is a true freshman. He will be the first true
freshman quarterback to start game one for San Diego State
(32:35):
ever since they've been playing college football since nineteen sixty nine.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Pretty cool designation, designation earned.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
They're gonna roll him out there and see what happens. Well,
it's a new era of San Diego State football. They've
gone from the Brady Hoke defense, death seven safety look
to the run and gun. Maybe one of the more
exciting offensive mind at the lower levels of college football
for a long time when he was at Kent State,
(33:06):
Sean Lewis. So we'll see what Danny O'Neill can do
for the San Diego State Aztecs. Apparently he's a special kid.
But you got to be pretty special to leave early,
win the job, and roll out your freshman year with
your puzzo out before school even starts.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
And if you're going to show up in southern California
and not go by Daniel O'Neill or Dan O'Neill, and
you're gonna put Danny O'Neill out there, boss's biggest.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Boulder, Well, I would name's not Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
You know, hey, listen, don here, thanks, Matt. I mean,
come on, I.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Can name a few guys on that Oregon team that
was like old school Oregon, Rich Brooks before Mike Pollatti Oregon.
That was rich Brooks Oregon where they had Donald Duck
screaming through the oh oh yeah, the helmet, Yeah teammates
logo well, they brought that back, right, Damian Ricketts a
little bit. Damien Ricketts, they brought back everything. Damian Ricketts
(34:06):
was a corner corner for them, a great little corner
from Culver City who was a fabulous high school quarterback
in the South Bay area in his time. Anyway, those
are some updates with some college football teams, San Diego
State naming a starter and Malachi Nelson not the starter
(34:26):
at Boise, the former low South five star recruit. And
we'll be back with another hour of great sports talk
on this Model'll meet you a lot of Monday. Justin
Turner set to join the show live at five point
thirty back in town with the Seattle Mariners ready to
be celebrated.
