we want to hear from you. All right, Matt, it
(02:39):
is time for the word of the day. His words.
The word of the day. Today's word of the day
is DJ because today was Lakers practice, the very first one.
They have a DJ there now like it's a football practice.
Jovann tweeted it out. They got a DJI. I don't
(03:03):
think it's DJ Mallski. I think it's a different DJ,
probably a Lebron Clutch Sports sanctioned DJ. So just so
you know, J Yeah, DJ, I love LBJ. It could
be him. It could be DJ Dodger Stadium. Who's a
real DJ.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Look JJ Redick, young head coach that swings differently exactly, So.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
How do you coach and break down attention to detail?
Like JJ was talking went in the background, It's like.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I don't know, don't need to it's a vi our
practice is a vibe.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
They're playing j Z Who's Illuminati. He's going down just
like Puffy.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Oh yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
DJ meel m E E l and believe it or not.
What a coincidence. Raised in Cleveland that resides in l A.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Now well, everybody knows the best DJs come from Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
So now well, JJ Regja tire Fire, Oh, that's one
of the best. DJ rust Belt, DJ Lake's on Fires
one of that is also very good, exactly. DJ down
Trodden Lifestyle is also a favorite of mine.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
DJ always great.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, so that's the vibe, as you said, Matt Down
at Lakers first practice, it's a vibe. Now Clippers not
to be one uped are in and they have hired
a Jawaian band called College Buds b U Dzzz and
they're just gonna play really intolerable Hawaiian reggae for the
(04:44):
entire training camp. Yeah. So you know they're going to
do their version of Could You Be Loved? And it
is going to be h That's gonna be a thing too.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
But I'm try things mix things up. You know, I
was a player for fifteen years. Practice doesn't have to
be something you don't look forward to.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
He didn't like the whole lebron and Bronnie like he's
gonna be you know, terrible interview haha. Mcminnimuon Hale and
a couple of laws. That's how we left the day
away in Lake or town of all.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yes, Kate Geni Buss was dancing at the summer tour
stop there at the Orders. She was loving the music
during the show. I wonder if she went back to
the facility there and said, DJ Neal, we need music
during practice.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Maybe the fast times motivated her.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, and you could say there's no DJs here in La,
We've got to go to Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Did DJ Neil m e e l.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Because he works for Meal? Sorry?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
M e e L.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
This I gotta be honest. And I know we did
our thing with Genie at the Van's headquarters and we
all swapped great, we all swallowed our cast. It was fabulous.
But this is a travesty, the e Jj Reddick thing, whole,
the whole ring. We're developing. You're the Lakers developing DJ.
You're developing your DJ. Oh here we go, DJ Meal
(06:10):
spend that hard knock life one more time. Dog.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Did you see his biomatic?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Well, I just found his instagram, I.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Found his website, and you guys would be shocked to
know that in two thousand and eight, DJ Meal made
a decision that would change his life forever at the
encouragement of new friends, one being clutched sports founder Rich Paul,
he decided it was time to leave Cleveland and head
to La Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
A bunch of photos of him with Lebron and yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
He's a houseman. He's a house DJ. Yeah, not a
house DJ like Digweed, but a house DJ like. He's
Lebron's in house DJ.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Hey Lakers, Yeah, yeah, Lebron, you're gonna put a DJ
on payroll. We are a DJ. Yep, what are you mean?
A A lot? DJ Meal to do? What play at
our practice? This is from twenty twenty two. Showed up
to the Oxfords on Saturday night, handled business with Lebron
(07:15):
James in the photo.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
So you think DJ meal has seen he's just a pal.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
He's a pal that's now.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I bet you, I bet you he's seen some things
at the freak Offs. I bet you DJ Meal has seen.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
They saw what Lebron said. Ain't no party like a
p Diddy party.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Congratulations to the Lakers on their many innovations. Time for
the number of the day. Here's my number number of
the day.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
This a little warm up for our conversation in the
next segment with Rob dibble with Rob Dibble, the number
of the day is forty two to fifty six. Pete Rose,
of course, the hit king, seventeen time All Star, an MVP,
a three time World Series champ, and man who was
wronged by Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame, should have
(08:04):
been inducted many many years ago, eighty two years old.
It's not my fault, no reason why threatened by Pete Rose.
When you got racists and murderers and segregationists and exclusionists
in the Hall of Fame for Pete Rose not to
have his bust as one of the all time great
Major League Baseball players, someone that Major League Baseball was
(08:27):
completely content to have at All Star Games, to be
celebrated at World Series, and they would go, oh, we're
doing Pete a favor. He can come out, and he could.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Be No, don't you want to talk about your home run.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
That benefited you? And much like the conversation we had
here in the past when Ron Santo was still alive
and should have been put into the Hall of Fame.
A man that had diabetes leg and would regulate it
while playing baseball by eating a or multiple Snickers bars
to balance his blood sugar level back in the sixties,
(09:00):
and Major League Baseball gave him double middle fingers until
what until he freaking died, And then he dies in
twenty ten, and a year later or two years later,
they put him into the Hall of Fame, and they
have a celebration for Ron Santo. So let me say
it here. You don't get to put Pete Rose in
the Hall of Fame. You don't get to have that day, Baseball,
(09:21):
not you, Manfred, not anybody who follows you. You cut
it done up with a guy was alive. They waited
until he died, and you don't get to put him
in the Hall of Fame. Afew, buddy, af you Baseball.
You could have done it while he was alive. You
could have said, bygones, are bad.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
These things, you know, Baseball, Yes, Baseball with Pete Rose,
the Bus family, with Jerry West, you know these things,
they just seem unc.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Not cool, unconscionable. Jerry Jones with Jimmy Johnson for thirty years.
Get over yourself. It's all right, now, get over yourself.
You don't get to put Pete in He's dead. He
can't enjoy it. He should have had his day of
celebration in Cooperstown. But you're a bunch of f and
f ors and it's not cool. You FNF shut your face,
(10:14):
uncle effort. Shame on you. Forty two fifty six. Never
in the Hall of Fame. You got all of his
spikes and his balls and his bats and his and
his All Star Game uniform and all of that and videos,
but you can't put his bust in or his plaquin
what the hell you want to call it?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
No, not now, that's a slap. That's a boob popping
slap to the face of the people. It's right, damn
it can't find it there it is. That's a split
on the label. No wonder I couldn't find it. Roddy,
(10:55):
this is the song of the day.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Sebastian or an English French psychedelic pop duo with our
song of the day called Metropolis. New Music is what
you're listening to from the record called New Internationale. It's
the third full length studio release that came out this
past Friday, featuring ten tracks of sophisticated French pop soul
in Tropicalia with an array of musical instruments including a
(11:22):
Turkish clarinet and a harpsichord that you can hear in
the background here on this tune to help create the
auditory space of the duo's latest LP. It's new music
from Kit Sebastian.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Thank you, Ronnie. We're going to talk about Rob Dibble,
Pete Rose, Rob Dibble, Baseball playoffs.

Speaker 2 (12:49):

a friend of the show. On your Southern California Toyota
Dealer celebrity hot line, it is Rob Dibble on the
Justin Money Show. What's cracking?
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Rob? How are you not much Petro's money? I miss
you guys. You guys are the best.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well Rob is the best. You know, the early days
of the best damn sports show Fox Sports Radio. Nobody
holds it down like Dibble.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
But he's Petros.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
He's back on the East Coast now and we appreciate you, Rob,
but tell us. I mean I saw Pete Rose a
little bit around the Fox studios speaking of that, and
you know what that's like around there, and people are pretty,
you know themselves, and you kind of get a good
idea of what what somebody's like. But what is being
around Pete Rose like on a day to day basis
(13:39):
for a guy like Rob Dibble.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
For goodness sakes, well, pe Pete is amazing. I mean,
besides being like family to me and a friend I
can give you as far as the manage your part,
very instrumental in my maturity at the major league level.
I mean when I was having a bad day, he
was always positive and then when you'd have a great day,
he'd come back at you and he'd be like helping patisfy,
(14:03):
you gotta keep building and building. You got to get
better every day. You gotta you gotta strive to be
the best. And so you know, I'll give you a
quick story. So my you know, about my fourth or
fifth year. This was after Peak got a lifetime ban.
My housing fell through in Spring Training and Plant City, Florida,
which is kind of like out of the way, but
but he was living there almost a bunch of mansions
(14:25):
and stuff. He had a nice mansion there. He basically
pulled his family out of his house, moved them to Boca,
and gave me his house for six weeks. That's the
kind of guy Pete is. And this is you know,
and he only knew me since eighty five, so you know,
it's about maybe eight nine years. And but that he's very,
very super generous with stuff like that. He wasn't a
(14:46):
materialistic guy. I mean, yes, uh he's from western Ohio
and and uh that's it's a really tough upbringing and
stuff like that. But he was always generous with everything
and always positive, uh with with everybody. And you would
never know. He was the hit king when he was
around you, You never know any of that kind of stuff.
He was always like a twelve year old kid on
(15:07):
Christmas Day. He was always that happy. So being around Pete,
you know, and remember this guy didn't drink, so that
was you know, that wasn't heard of around the people
I hung out with. We drank a lot, and we
enjoyed it. So to be around someone that was like
sober when you weren't and be that kind of person.
I mean, Pete was just a genuine guy.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
How badly did baseball botch this? Knowing, like you said,
what kind of guy he was, what he meant to
the game, how much the other players adored him, and
the fact that baseball just could not get out of
their own way and let him be a bigger part
of all of their celebrations. They would capitalize on it,
rob you know, they'd bring him out and they'd make
money off of them. But the fact that they couldn't
(15:50):
figure this out is just it's an incredible embarrassment. I
said in the last segment. They don't get to do
it now. You don't get to cash in on this
now that he's passed away. That is not fair to
Pete that you didn't do it while he was still.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Alive, agreed, Matt. And that's that's well said.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
You know.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Listen, Pete wanted two things. He wanted to get back
into baseball, not getting the Hall of Fame, per see,
but be reinstated so he could work with younger players.
He loved teaching. Love love, love teaching. That's all he
ever did was teach. When when you know, I was
coming up and I'd go to major league camp, all
he did was tell me about it. I had to
do this, I had to do this, I had to
watch that, I had to watch this, and it made
(16:26):
me such a better player, you know. And and so
those were some of the professional stuff. But he he
would talk about how, you know, he was a compulsive
gamble gambler and a degenerate gambler, that that's a vice,
that that's like being an alcoholic or drug addict. And
in fact, if he had been a drug addict, he'd
be in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
You know.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
So for for some reason, you know, they had this
hatred about Pete and and the fact but Pete, people
don't know Pete like I do. And a lot of
people around him, because I spent a lot of time
going to different autograph shows and going into different seminars
and things like that where Pete spoke and Q and
A's and stuff around Cincinnati. It's really a small fraternity
(17:08):
being with the big Red Machine guys all the time,
which I have been. I'm very good friends and was
with Joe Morgan, Griffy Senior, who was on my team,
Johnny Bench. I've been a Johnny's house down a Florida.
I have a house down in Florida with my wife
and her sister. They inherited a nice condo down there,
and Johnny will fix your dinner at his house. I mean,
these people are real people. And so for Pete, he
(17:30):
just wanted back in the game and he wanted to
be able to tell his story and be a positive force,
because like I said, Pete was always positive. There was
never a negative. He was never looking back, he was
always looking forward. And he couldn't clean up that part
of his life. And so that's something that even even
in his last few years. I mean I just had
him on my show when Willie Mays passed, and all
(17:53):
he does is talk about the great players he played
with and the people he idolized, like Willie and all
of the guys around him, from playing with Mike Schmidt
to Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan and stuff. And never was like,
you know, banging is just like, Hey, I'm Pete Rose
and I'm the all time hits leader. He was like,
I was lucky to play with them. And he even
joked he said, I wouldn't even have made the team,
(18:15):
you know, with Frank Robinson and left and you know,
having Andre Dawson in right field, Tim Rains and center,
some of the Hall of Famers that he played, was like,
I couldn't have played on these teams that I played
with these guys, you know. So that that was the
kind of guy that Pete was, and so major League
Baseball took that from him for thirty five years. They
held this grudge and they didn't let him. Even if
(18:38):
you want to put a plack up the Hall of Fame,
and it's not just it's not just Pete per se
by the way, it's Barry Bonds, it's Roger Clemens, it's Chilling,
it's Andy Pettitt. I don't know what your grudges against
these guys, but there's some way lesser players that you're
just letting in the Hall of Fame, which, by the way,
is a museum. It's not a part of Major League Baseball.
It's in a small in Cooperstown, New York. I just
(19:01):
took my sixteen year team up to play a perfect
game tournament in Schenectady, which was an hour and a
half from Cooperstown. All my players went up there and
they were asking me. They're like, Coach, why isn't Pete
Rosen there? Why isn't Barry Bonds in there? I can't
explain it. I can't tell a sixteen year old young
man why the people they idolize and look up to
are not in the Hall of Fame. So when major
(19:22):
League Baseball can explain that to their paying public customers,
then I'll be able to explain it to my players.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
You know, Rob, maybe you can help us out with this.
I mean, beyond the Hall of Fame stuff, where did
we all get the idea over the years, Like who
perpetuated it that Pete was like an evil guy, you know,
or that he was some kind of bad guy? You
know what I mean? Because anybody who's been around him,
whether it was sicily in Sherman Oaks or or or
the Fox Studios or anywhere. I mean, he was a
(19:50):
joy joy.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
I mean, you know, PetroSA. He nailed it because that
Pete was a kid. Pete is always going to be
a kid heart, you know, and he died being a kid.
And everybody and nobody signed more autographs than this guy.
Maybe maybe Michael Jordan or somebody else, but I doubt it,
because Pete sat in Vegas half every every fifteen days
(20:13):
out of the month signing autographs for people. And whether
or not it was worth money or not worth money,
Pete was still signing because that's the kind of guy
he was. He's a blue collar guy and he made
everybody feel special that he met. Even forty eight hours ago,
the same people that I deal with were with Pete.
A good friend of mine, Charles Soto was with Pete.
He was with Pete in Vegas and then he traveled
(20:35):
with him to Tennessee with Concepcion, Griffy Sr. And those guys.
And they were just in Tennessee forty eight hours ago
before Pete passed, and Pete was in a wheelchair and
he was still Pete Rose an ambassador for baseball so
shame on these other people that vilified him because he
(20:55):
was a gambler, and he gambled on baseball. And yeah,
his pride kept him for fourteen years from admitting it.
But we all have our issues, and I don't judge
people on that. I judge people on how they treat me.
And he always treated me really, really well. And it
was not just because I was a baseball player. He
was on my show dozens of times, and a lot
of those times it was when one of his best
(21:16):
friends died, and it wasn't easy for Pete to come
on and talk about Willie or Tommy Lasorda or Tom
Seaver or Joe Morgan. It crushed him. It crushed him.
So they did a great job. For thirty five years,
they've vilified this guy. They crushed his spirit, but at
the end, they still couldn't take his will away from him.
(21:37):
He's still a proud guy.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I know you said he was always positive, Rob but
may and I don't know if he'd want you to
share it or if he doesn't want to be viewed
in that through that lens. But I have got to
believe is he's watching baseball and the amount of money
the tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars that
they are making off of fan duel and draft things
and all that had absolute Slutely had to stick into
(22:01):
his craw that he's watching games and they're is signage
in ballparks for all of these gambling outlets now that
they're taking money from. And yet he's still.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
The bad guy.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Oh my god. Guys, even when Bud Seely was still
the commissioner, they had and and and because our network
covers the Yankees like you guys cover the Dodgers, watching
every Yankees game that I have to in Red Sox stuff,
they had mohegan Son, which is a huge casino here
in Connecticut, and Fox Woods behind home plate at every
Yankee game and it's twenty years ago. Yeah, so they're hypocrites.
(22:32):
And so for them to do that and then get
into DraftKings and then even Fox our company, you know,
they they sit there in the games and they're like, hey,
you know, go online and you know, do this parlay
and do this. We do it with football. Yeah yeah, yeah.
And I was I was watching Amazon Prime and Al
Michaels is telling you to go to like Vanduel the
(22:52):
Draft Kings, its fanatics. So yeah, it's it's really prevalent.
Now I agree with Petro's they made this guy into
the back as a boogeyman. They made him the boogeyman,
and they just, uh, you know, because bar Giamontti died
like a month after this whole thing, and they blamed
him for Bargiamotty. I remember when I was at ESPN,
one of my big bosses, he came back to me
(23:14):
and he said, Rob, they'll never let Pete in the
Hall of Fame. He goes. I just had lunch with
bud Selig. It was the most boring lunch I've ever
been to until they brought up Pete. They brought and
he goes. They brought up Pete. Bud Selig pounded the table,
he stood up, and he goes. As long as I
breathe there, I'll never let Pete Rose in the Hall
of Fame. Fifteen years ago. I know they're there, and
(23:35):
and it's it's but Pete. Pete's a human, you know.
And and it did, I mean, it did hurt him
because he wanted to teach, He wanted to be able
to go to a ball game without asking permission and
it's just it's awful and and you know, to be
in your eighties and treated like that, it's just it's
it's bad. But you know what, through it all, Pete
(23:57):
was always good to other people.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
You mentioned Rob, and as you know, someone who's got
kids of the age where their friends are playing baseball,
I hope you got yourself a piece of that perfect game.
Because my God, talk about an organization that has taken
over baseball.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
It's my old It's it's Rick Thurmon, my old baseball ag.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Yeah? But here's what I keep doing. I keep going
to those tournaments and winning them.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
There you go, yeah, there you go. But it's crazy, right,
Like the kids get raided and they get they get splotted, they.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Get set like these cool rings, they get like these
cool things when they win. And so they actually gave
me one at one tournament. But honestly, it's it's great
for these kids. These kids have stuff that I couldn't
I couldn't have dreamed of when I was sixteen years old.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
The great Rob Dibble remembering his friend and skipper and
an icon in American sports, Pete Rose and a tragic
story but also a story of I think spirit, a
great human spirit guy who always treated people really well,
and I kind of tested that. He was a really
nice guy. Tell us, Rob, you're out there on the
(25:07):
East Coast. You know what it's like out here where
the way the Dodgers are. Tell us about our inevitable collapse.
That's God.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
First of all, everybody's got pitching issues, so stop with that.
Tim Case was just telling me about how many starters
you've used this year. Listen, the Yankees have issues. Everybody,
Mets have issues, they all have issues. But you got
you got mister fifty to fifty. You know what show
Heyo Tani and and all right, forget Pete for a second.
(25:38):
How do you not market one of the greatest players
since Babe Ruth Begger than life? How do you not
market show hayotany better? That's that's the problem with major
League Baseball. They have the Golden Goose. With the Dodgers.
You got Mookie Best, you got Freddy Freeman. I mean
on the East Coast, I mean the Francisco Lindor is
an absolute. He's a diamond. I love that guy. Raphael
(26:02):
Devor's all these other guys a coonia down with Atlanta.
They don't know how to market anything to save their lives.
It's sad. Football does a great job. Basketball does a
great job, but to not market show Hey. Every one
of my kids wants to be show Hey. Every one
of my kids wants to be show Hey Otani. So
they're all East Coast kids. They have Yankees, Mets in
(26:22):
Red Sox all around them, and all they want to
be is one guy, one Asian guy named show Hey,
and a MLB can't market him properly.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
So just to get your student analysis before we let
you go, Robin, we appreciate it. I think back to
the nineteen ninety World Series when and you're dominated with pitching.
There were some obviously, you know, a lot of runs scored.
But can you do that in twenty twenty four? Can
they do it with Jack Flaherty as their one and
Yamamoto who hasn't gone past five innings as their two?
(26:53):
Or do you need a school ball? Do you need
some of these eight you know, Joe Muskrove or a
Dylan Ceese in order to win a World Series in
twenty twenty four?
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Absolutely not, Absolutely not. We didn't have one twenty game winner.
We didn't have one guy that hit thirty home runs
on our team, if you have a family, which I
think the Dave Roberts and company, they have a great
family out there. I think Andrew Friedman is one of
the most underrated GMS ever. Presidents. No, they can easily
win it. In fact, from my perspective, watching the Yankees,
(27:23):
watching the Yankees roller coaster, watching the Mets be the
hottest team in the last like ninety five games. You know,
they haven't done it with spectacular pitching, and you know,
big name guys. You know, Severarino was a cast off
from the Yankees, you know guys like that. Some of
their best guys have been injured all season. So you
(27:44):
can get it done as long as you all believe.
And I truly believe Dodgers. I don't think they're going
to collapse at least in the first round, all right,
the Wild Star Round, So I think they might be
able to get through the Division Series and get to
the NLCS.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Well, Rob, thank you so much, our best to you
and your family, and we really, we really do like
catching up with you and being able to talk some baseball.
Hopefully next time we do it it won't be as
long and it won't be about somebody passing away.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
That's okay, no problem. Guys love talking to you.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Appreciate it, Rob Dibble, everybody perfect game baseball, sitting on a.

Rob Dibble the best.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Always love catching up with our old colleague, Our longtime
friend Tim Cats produced the show prior to producing this show,
and we certainly appreciate anytime Rob joins us, especially on
a sad occasion like the death of his former manager
and dear friend Pete Rose. It certainly shared some great stories,
(29:44):
some insight, and for those of you that maybe just
paid attention to the talking points, did not realize how
thirty they did Pete Rose. And it's a damn shame,
you know. Everybody keeps sending me this story of Lamarrow.
I'm getting salmon sperm put on his face for some
kind of facial treatment. And yes, I understand the skin
(30:06):
products irony of the Victor Brick asking lamar ot him
if he likes do.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
You like skin products?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Alfred and Huff skin product? I can get them for you.
Would you like some?
Speaker 6 (30:19):
Do you like skin products?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Love them?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
He's doing a salmon sperm facial treatment, so thank you.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
I mean that's definitely facial.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
And now everybody's sending me do you like skin products? Unbreakable?
So doctor Robert Dormon, Beverly Hills, that's the guy that
does the micro needling with salmon sperm DNA in your pores.
So if you're looking for something new, you want to
(30:53):
salmon to impregnate your face. I mean, regetics is one thing,
but if you want to have a spawning on your face,
doctor Wristler, forever go with lamar Odom, who has never
been afraid to spend money for stupid reasons. Our friend Lamar.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Odom, very very generous individual when it came to spending
money on his pals, just like Pete Rose. Right, it
looks like the Mets are beating Milwaukee. They are eight
to four already earlier today the other two road teams won.
Made the Braves keep it going as they will. Get
things started at six o'clock tonight down in San Diego
(31:29):
with a young unknown twenty one year old starter in
place at Chris Sale who's got backspasms and is out
for the wild card round.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
If San Diego goes down, Dodger fans are really gonna
sell a Bravo right, honestly, I want to put I know,
but you know it'd be an easier path.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Seems like it made no man stray from the path. Yes, Kate,
you think the doctor that Lamar saw was like, hey man,
I know this is kind of weird. You know, you know,
not into this kind of weird stuff. You probably don't
do crazy things, but it's gonna work. And Lamar's just
looking at him like that.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
I'm sure the doctor knows that he would was in
a cocaine hooker coma in a in a whorehouse in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
No, that wasn't in Vegas. Come on, let's get it straight.
He was willing to drive hours outside of Vegas to
hit up that horror house special treatment. Exactly right.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Let me recover from my coke fueled binge in the
on your ranch. I heard that's where that UNLV quarterback is. Now, yeah,
cash in that un that nil chick, he's just a
piss boy. Now, son, take the bucket. I knew I
should have stayed.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Where'd you go? I don't know. We saw him driving
off toward the Buddy Rancher. Never heard from again.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
He goes in the room.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
He had one of those Raville peck uh things on space.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
You know, I'd like to look younger.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Want you now?
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Can I interest you in some salmon sperm and jam
micro needling salmons burm. I was thinking cucumbers and ice packs,
but okay.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Those tiny moans. You hear this salmon eacold.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
My face has been impregnated.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
By a fish. Thanks for listening. Could you see Lamar
walk out of the Beverly Hills place, all happy with
the salmon spurd then he gets attacked by a bear.
The bear just eats his face. Who oh my god,
(33:33):
lamorrow and it was eaten by a bear on Beverly.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
How do you about the guy that likes to hang
out with the bear's end?
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Not well, he would be shocked and he was killed
by a bear. He was on camera, Yeah, on camera.
What do you know? Dad was slapped clean off. All right, hey,
thanks for listening everybody. It is a bear, you know,
I can't really control. We'll be back with more sports talk.

we want to hear from you. All right, Matt, it
(02:39):
is time for the word of the day. His words.
The word of the day. Today's word of the day
is DJ because today was Lakers practice, the very first one.
They have a DJ there now like it's a football practice.
Jovann tweeted it out. They got a DJI. I don't
(03:03):
think it's DJ Mallski. I think it's a different DJ,
probably a Lebron Clutch Sports sanctioned DJ. So just so
you know, J Yeah, DJ, I love LBJ. It could
be him. It could be DJ Dodger Stadium. Who's a
real DJ.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Look JJ Redick, young head coach that swings differently exactly, So.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
How do you coach and break down attention to detail?
Like JJ was talking went in the background, It's like.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I don't know, don't need to it's a vi our
practice is a vibe.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
They're playing j Z Who's Illuminati. He's going down just
like Puffy.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Oh yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
DJ meel m E E l and believe it or not.
What a coincidence. Raised in Cleveland that resides in l A.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Now well, everybody knows the best DJs come from Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
So now well, JJ Regja tire Fire, Oh, that's one
of the best. DJ rust Belt, DJ Lake's on Fires
one of that is also very good, exactly. DJ down
Trodden Lifestyle is also a favorite of mine.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
DJ always great.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, so that's the vibe, as you said, Matt Down
at Lakers first practice, it's a vibe. Now Clippers not
to be one uped are in and they have hired
a Jawaian band called College Buds b U Dzzz and
they're just gonna play really intolerable Hawaiian reggae for the
(04:44):
entire training camp. Yeah. So you know they're going to
do their version of Could You Be Loved? And it
is going to be h That's gonna be a thing too.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
But I'm try things mix things up. You know, I
was a player for fifteen years. Practice doesn't have to
be something you don't look forward to.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
He didn't like the whole lebron and Bronnie like he's
gonna be you know, terrible interview haha. Mcminnimuon Hale and
a couple of laws. That's how we left the day
away in Lake or town of all.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yes, Kate Geni Buss was dancing at the summer tour
stop there at the Orders. She was loving the music
during the show. I wonder if she went back to
the facility there and said, DJ Neal, we need music
during practice.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Maybe the fast times motivated her.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, and you could say there's no DJs here in La,
We've got to go to Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Did DJ Neil m e e l.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Because he works for Meal? Sorry?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
M e e L.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
This I gotta be honest. And I know we did
our thing with Genie at the Van's headquarters and we
all swapped great, we all swallowed our cast. It was fabulous.
But this is a travesty, the e Jj Reddick thing, whole,
the whole ring. We're developing. You're the Lakers developing DJ.
You're developing your DJ. Oh here we go, DJ Meal
(06:10):
spend that hard knock life one more time. Dog.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Did you see his biomatic?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Well, I just found his instagram, I.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Found his website, and you guys would be shocked to
know that in two thousand and eight, DJ Meal made
a decision that would change his life forever at the
encouragement of new friends, one being clutched sports founder Rich Paul,
he decided it was time to leave Cleveland and head
to La Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
A bunch of photos of him with Lebron and yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
He's a houseman. He's a house DJ. Yeah, not a
house DJ like Digweed, but a house DJ like. He's
Lebron's in house DJ.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Hey Lakers, Yeah, yeah, Lebron, you're gonna put a DJ
on payroll. We are a DJ. Yep, what are you mean?
A A lot? DJ Meal to do? What play at
our practice? This is from twenty twenty two. Showed up
to the Oxfords on Saturday night, handled business with Lebron
(07:15):
James in the photo.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
So you think DJ meal has seen he's just a pal.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
He's a pal that's now.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I bet you, I bet you he's seen some things
at the freak Offs. I bet you DJ Meal has seen.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
They saw what Lebron said. Ain't no party like a
p Diddy party.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Congratulations to the Lakers on their many innovations. Time for
the number of the day. Here's my number number of
the day.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
This a little warm up for our conversation in the
next segment with Rob dibble with Rob Dibble, the number
of the day is forty two to fifty six. Pete Rose,
of course, the hit king, seventeen time All Star, an MVP,
a three time World Series champ, and man who was
wronged by Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame, should have
(08:04):
been inducted many many years ago, eighty two years old.
It's not my fault, no reason why threatened by Pete Rose.
When you got racists and murderers and segregationists and exclusionists
in the Hall of Fame for Pete Rose not to
have his bust as one of the all time great
Major League Baseball players, someone that Major League Baseball was
(08:27):
completely content to have at All Star Games, to be
celebrated at World Series, and they would go, oh, we're
doing Pete a favor. He can come out, and he could.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Be No, don't you want to talk about your home run.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
That benefited you? And much like the conversation we had
here in the past when Ron Santo was still alive
and should have been put into the Hall of Fame.
A man that had diabetes leg and would regulate it
while playing baseball by eating a or multiple Snickers bars
to balance his blood sugar level back in the sixties,
(09:00):
and Major League Baseball gave him double middle fingers until
what until he freaking died, And then he dies in
twenty ten, and a year later or two years later,
they put him into the Hall of Fame, and they
have a celebration for Ron Santo. So let me say
it here. You don't get to put Pete Rose in
the Hall of Fame. You don't get to have that day, Baseball,
(09:21):
not you, Manfred, not anybody who follows you. You cut
it done up with a guy was alive. They waited
until he died, and you don't get to put him
in the Hall of Fame. Afew, buddy, af you Baseball.
You could have done it while he was alive. You
could have said, bygones, are bad.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
These things, you know, Baseball, Yes, Baseball with Pete Rose,
the Bus family, with Jerry West, you know these things,
they just seem unc.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Not cool, unconscionable. Jerry Jones with Jimmy Johnson for thirty years.
Get over yourself. It's all right, now, get over yourself.
You don't get to put Pete in He's dead. He
can't enjoy it. He should have had his day of
celebration in Cooperstown. But you're a bunch of f and
f ors and it's not cool. You FNF shut your face,
(10:14):
uncle effort. Shame on you. Forty two fifty six. Never
in the Hall of Fame. You got all of his
spikes and his balls and his bats and his and
his All Star Game uniform and all of that and videos,
but you can't put his bust in or his plaquin
what the hell you want to call it?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
No, not now, that's a slap. That's a boob popping
slap to the face of the people. It's right, damn
it can't find it there it is. That's a split
on the label. No wonder I couldn't find it. Roddy,
(10:55):
this is the song of the day.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Sebastian or an English French psychedelic pop duo with our
song of the day called Metropolis. New Music is what
you're listening to from the record called New Internationale. It's
the third full length studio release that came out this
past Friday, featuring ten tracks of sophisticated French pop soul
in Tropicalia with an array of musical instruments including a
(11:22):
Turkish clarinet and a harpsichord that you can hear in
the background here on this tune to help create the
auditory space of the duo's latest LP. It's new music
from Kit Sebastian.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Thank you, Ronnie. We're going to talk about Rob Dibble,
Pete Rose, Rob Dibble, Baseball playoffs.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Have the app. We do the original nasty boy and
a friend of the show. On your Southern California Toyota
Dealer celebrity hot line, it is Rob Dibble on the
Justin Money Show. What's cracking?
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Rob? How are you not much Petro's money? I miss
you guys. You guys are the best.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well Rob is the best. You know, the early days
of the best damn sports show Fox Sports Radio. Nobody
holds it down like Dibble.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
But he's Petros.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
He's back on the East Coast now and we appreciate you, Rob,
but tell us. I mean I saw Pete Rose a
little bit around the Fox studios speaking of that, and
you know what that's like around there, and people are pretty,
you know themselves, and you kind of get a good
idea of what what somebody's like. But what is being
around Pete Rose like on a day to day basis
(13:39):
for a guy like Rob Dibble.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
For goodness sakes, well, pe Pete is amazing. I mean,
besides being like family to me and a friend I
can give you as far as the manage your part,
very instrumental in my maturity at the major league level.
I mean when I was having a bad day, he
was always positive and then when you'd have a great day,
he'd come back at you and he'd be like helping patisfy,
(14:03):
you gotta keep building and building. You got to get
better every day. You gotta you gotta strive to be
the best. And so you know, I'll give you a
quick story. So my you know, about my fourth or
fifth year. This was after Peak got a lifetime ban.
My housing fell through in Spring Training and Plant City, Florida,
which is kind of like out of the way, but
but he was living there almost a bunch of mansions
(14:25):
and stuff. He had a nice mansion there. He basically
pulled his family out of his house, moved them to Boca,
and gave me his house for six weeks. That's the
kind of guy Pete is. And this is you know,
and he only knew me since eighty five, so you know,
it's about maybe eight nine years. And but that he's very,
very super generous with stuff like that. He wasn't a
(14:46):
materialistic guy. I mean, yes, uh he's from western Ohio
and and uh that's it's a really tough upbringing and
stuff like that. But he was always generous with everything
and always positive, uh with with everybody. And you would
never know. He was the hit king when he was
around you, You never know any of that kind of stuff.
He was always like a twelve year old kid on
(15:07):
Christmas Day. He was always that happy. So being around Pete,
you know, and remember this guy didn't drink, so that
was you know, that wasn't heard of around the people
I hung out with. We drank a lot, and we
enjoyed it. So to be around someone that was like
sober when you weren't and be that kind of person.
I mean, Pete was just a genuine guy.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
How badly did baseball botch this? Knowing, like you said,
what kind of guy he was, what he meant to
the game, how much the other players adored him, and
the fact that baseball just could not get out of
their own way and let him be a bigger part
of all of their celebrations. They would capitalize on it,
rob you know, they'd bring him out and they'd make
money off of them. But the fact that they couldn't
(15:50):
figure this out is just it's an incredible embarrassment. I
said in the last segment. They don't get to do
it now. You don't get to cash in on this
now that he's passed away. That is not fair to
Pete that you didn't do it while he was still.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Alive, agreed, Matt. And that's that's well said.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
You know.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Listen, Pete wanted two things. He wanted to get back
into baseball, not getting the Hall of Fame, per see,
but be reinstated so he could work with younger players.
He loved teaching. Love love, love teaching. That's all he
ever did was teach. When when you know, I was
coming up and I'd go to major league camp, all
he did was tell me about it. I had to
do this, I had to do this, I had to
watch that, I had to watch this, and it made
(16:26):
me such a better player, you know. And and so
those were some of the professional stuff. But he he
would talk about how, you know, he was a compulsive
gamble gambler and a degenerate gambler, that that's a vice,
that that's like being an alcoholic or drug addict. And
in fact, if he had been a drug addict, he'd
be in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
You know.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
So for for some reason, you know, they had this
hatred about Pete and and the fact but Pete, people
don't know Pete like I do. And a lot of
people around him, because I spent a lot of time
going to different autograph shows and going into different seminars
and things like that where Pete spoke and Q and
A's and stuff around Cincinnati. It's really a small fraternity
(17:08):
being with the big Red Machine guys all the time,
which I have been. I'm very good friends and was
with Joe Morgan, Griffy Senior, who was on my team,
Johnny Bench. I've been a Johnny's house down a Florida.
I have a house down in Florida with my wife
and her sister. They inherited a nice condo down there,
and Johnny will fix your dinner at his house. I mean,
these people are real people. And so for Pete, he
(17:30):
just wanted back in the game and he wanted to
be able to tell his story and be a positive force,
because like I said, Pete was always positive. There was
never a negative. He was never looking back, he was
always looking forward. And he couldn't clean up that part
of his life. And so that's something that even even
in his last few years. I mean I just had
him on my show when Willie Mays passed, and all
(17:53):
he does is talk about the great players he played
with and the people he idolized, like Willie and all
of the guys around him, from playing with Mike Schmidt
to Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan and stuff. And never was like,
you know, banging is just like, Hey, I'm Pete Rose
and I'm the all time hits leader. He was like,
I was lucky to play with them. And he even
joked he said, I wouldn't even have made the team,
(18:15):
you know, with Frank Robinson and left and you know,
having Andre Dawson in right field, Tim Rains and center,
some of the Hall of Famers that he played, was like,
I couldn't have played on these teams that I played
with these guys, you know. So that that was the
kind of guy that Pete was, and so major League
Baseball took that from him for thirty five years. They
held this grudge and they didn't let him. Even if
(18:38):
you want to put a plack up the Hall of Fame,
and it's not just it's not just Pete per se
by the way, it's Barry Bonds, it's Roger Clemens, it's Chilling,
it's Andy Pettitt. I don't know what your grudges against
these guys, but there's some way lesser players that you're
just letting in the Hall of Fame, which, by the way,
is a museum. It's not a part of Major League Baseball.
It's in a small in Cooperstown, New York. I just
(19:01):
took my sixteen year team up to play a perfect
game tournament in Schenectady, which was an hour and a
half from Cooperstown. All my players went up there and
they were asking me. They're like, Coach, why isn't Pete
Rosen there? Why isn't Barry Bonds in there? I can't
explain it. I can't tell a sixteen year old young
man why the people they idolize and look up to
are not in the Hall of Fame. So when major
(19:22):
League Baseball can explain that to their paying public customers,
then I'll be able to explain it to my players.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
You know, Rob, maybe you can help us out with this.
I mean, beyond the Hall of Fame stuff, where did
we all get the idea over the years, Like who
perpetuated it that Pete was like an evil guy, you know,
or that he was some kind of bad guy? You
know what I mean? Because anybody who's been around him,
whether it was sicily in Sherman Oaks or or or
the Fox Studios or anywhere. I mean, he was a
(19:50):
joy joy.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
I mean, you know, PetroSA. He nailed it because that
Pete was a kid. Pete is always going to be
a kid heart, you know, and he died being a kid.
And everybody and nobody signed more autographs than this guy.
Maybe maybe Michael Jordan or somebody else, but I doubt it,
because Pete sat in Vegas half every every fifteen days
(20:13):
out of the month signing autographs for people. And whether
or not it was worth money or not worth money,
Pete was still signing because that's the kind of guy
he was. He's a blue collar guy and he made
everybody feel special that he met. Even forty eight hours ago,
the same people that I deal with were with Pete.
A good friend of mine, Charles Soto was with Pete.
He was with Pete in Vegas and then he traveled
(20:35):
with him to Tennessee with Concepcion, Griffy Sr. And those guys.
And they were just in Tennessee forty eight hours ago
before Pete passed, and Pete was in a wheelchair and
he was still Pete Rose an ambassador for baseball so
shame on these other people that vilified him because he
(20:55):
was a gambler, and he gambled on baseball. And yeah,
his pride kept him for fourteen years from admitting it.
But we all have our issues, and I don't judge
people on that. I judge people on how they treat me.
And he always treated me really, really well. And it
was not just because I was a baseball player. He
was on my show dozens of times, and a lot
of those times it was when one of his best
(21:16):
friends died, and it wasn't easy for Pete to come
on and talk about Willie or Tommy Lasorda or Tom
Seaver or Joe Morgan. It crushed him. It crushed him.
So they did a great job. For thirty five years,
they've vilified this guy. They crushed his spirit, but at
the end, they still couldn't take his will away from him.
(21:37):
He's still a proud guy.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I know you said he was always positive, Rob but
may and I don't know if he'd want you to
share it or if he doesn't want to be viewed
in that through that lens. But I have got to
believe is he's watching baseball and the amount of money
the tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars that
they are making off of fan duel and draft things
and all that had absolute Slutely had to stick into
(22:01):
his craw that he's watching games and they're is signage
in ballparks for all of these gambling outlets now that
they're taking money from. And yet he's still.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
The bad guy.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Oh my god. Guys, even when Bud Seely was still
the commissioner, they had and and and because our network
covers the Yankees like you guys cover the Dodgers, watching
every Yankees game that I have to in Red Sox stuff,
they had mohegan Son, which is a huge casino here
in Connecticut, and Fox Woods behind home plate at every
Yankee game and it's twenty years ago. Yeah, so they're hypocrites.
(22:32):
And so for them to do that and then get
into DraftKings and then even Fox our company, you know,
they they sit there in the games and they're like, hey,
you know, go online and you know, do this parlay
and do this. We do it with football. Yeah yeah, yeah.
And I was I was watching Amazon Prime and Al
Michaels is telling you to go to like Vanduel the
(22:52):
Draft Kings, its fanatics. So yeah, it's it's really prevalent.
Now I agree with Petro's they made this guy into
the back as a boogeyman. They made him the boogeyman,
and they just, uh, you know, because bar Giamontti died
like a month after this whole thing, and they blamed
him for Bargiamotty. I remember when I was at ESPN,
one of my big bosses, he came back to me
(23:14):
and he said, Rob, they'll never let Pete in the
Hall of Fame. He goes. I just had lunch with
bud Selig. It was the most boring lunch I've ever
been to until they brought up Pete. They brought and
he goes. They brought up Pete. Bud Selig pounded the table,
he stood up, and he goes. As long as I
breathe there, I'll never let Pete Rose in the Hall
of Fame. Fifteen years ago. I know they're there, and
(23:35):
and it's it's but Pete. Pete's a human, you know.
And and it did, I mean, it did hurt him
because he wanted to teach, He wanted to be able
to go to a ball game without asking permission and
it's just it's awful and and you know, to be
in your eighties and treated like that, it's just it's
it's bad. But you know what, through it all, Pete
(23:57):
was always good to other people.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
You mentioned Rob, and as you know, someone who's got
kids of the age where their friends are playing baseball,
I hope you got yourself a piece of that perfect game.
Because my God, talk about an organization that has taken
over baseball.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
It's my old It's it's Rick Thurmon, my old baseball ag.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Yeah? But here's what I keep doing. I keep going
to those tournaments and winning them.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
There you go, yeah, there you go. But it's crazy, right,
Like the kids get raided and they get they get splotted, they.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Get set like these cool rings, they get like these
cool things when they win. And so they actually gave
me one at one tournament. But honestly, it's it's great
for these kids. These kids have stuff that I couldn't
I couldn't have dreamed of when I was sixteen years old.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
The great Rob Dibble remembering his friend and skipper and
an icon in American sports, Pete Rose and a tragic
story but also a story of I think spirit, a
great human spirit guy who always treated people really well,
and I kind of tested that. He was a really
nice guy. Tell us, Rob, you're out there on the
(25:07):
East Coast. You know what it's like out here where
the way the Dodgers are. Tell us about our inevitable collapse.
That's God.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
First of all, everybody's got pitching issues, so stop with that.
Tim Case was just telling me about how many starters
you've used this year. Listen, the Yankees have issues. Everybody,
Mets have issues, they all have issues. But you got
you got mister fifty to fifty. You know what show
Heyo Tani and and all right, forget Pete for a second.
(25:38):
How do you not market one of the greatest players
since Babe Ruth Begger than life? How do you not
market show hayotany better? That's that's the problem with major
League Baseball. They have the Golden Goose. With the Dodgers.
You got Mookie Best, you got Freddy Freeman. I mean
on the East Coast, I mean the Francisco Lindor is
an absolute. He's a diamond. I love that guy. Raphael
(26:02):
Devor's all these other guys a coonia down with Atlanta.
They don't know how to market anything to save their lives.
It's sad. Football does a great job. Basketball does a
great job, but to not market show Hey. Every one
of my kids wants to be show Hey. Every one
of my kids wants to be show Hey Otani. So
they're all East Coast kids. They have Yankees, Mets in
(26:22):
Red Sox all around them, and all they want to
be is one guy, one Asian guy named show Hey,
and a MLB can't market him properly.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
So just to get your student analysis before we let
you go, Robin, we appreciate it. I think back to
the nineteen ninety World Series when and you're dominated with pitching.
There were some obviously, you know, a lot of runs scored.
But can you do that in twenty twenty four? Can
they do it with Jack Flaherty as their one and
Yamamoto who hasn't gone past five innings as their two?
(26:53):
Or do you need a school ball? Do you need
some of these eight you know, Joe Muskrove or a
Dylan Ceese in order to win a World Series in
twenty twenty four?
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Absolutely not, Absolutely not. We didn't have one twenty game winner.
We didn't have one guy that hit thirty home runs
on our team, if you have a family, which I
think the Dave Roberts and company, they have a great
family out there. I think Andrew Friedman is one of
the most underrated GMS ever. Presidents. No, they can easily
win it. In fact, from my perspective, watching the Yankees,
(27:23):
watching the Yankees roller coaster, watching the Mets be the
hottest team in the last like ninety five games. You know,
they haven't done it with spectacular pitching, and you know,
big name guys. You know, Severarino was a cast off
from the Yankees, you know guys like that. Some of
their best guys have been injured all season. So you
(27:44):
can get it done as long as you all believe.
And I truly believe Dodgers. I don't think they're going
to collapse at least in the first round, all right,
the Wild Star Round, So I think they might be
able to get through the Division Series and get to
the NLCS.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Well, Rob, thank you so much, our best to you
and your family, and we really, we really do like
catching up with you and being able to talk some baseball.
Hopefully next time we do it it won't be as
long and it won't be about somebody passing away.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
That's okay, no problem. Guys love talking to you.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Appreciate it, Rob Dibble, everybody perfect game baseball, sitting on a.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Pile of cash, Oh, pile of cash.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Thanks, printing money, making money, and I'm beating these guys,
getting my rings, getting both ways.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Freaking bud Sea Youligan is two big suits.
Speaker 2 (28:34):

story high head.

(29:16):
cracking everybody. Welcome back, Petro, send money back with you
on this two ed Mono Tuesday. A big thanks to
Rob Dibble the best.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Always love catching up with our old colleague, Our longtime
friend Tim Cats produced the show prior to producing this show,
and we certainly appreciate anytime Rob joins us, especially on
a sad occasion like the death of his former manager
and dear friend Pete Rose. It certainly shared some great stories,
(29:44):
some insight, and for those of you that maybe just
paid attention to the talking points, did not realize how
thirty they did Pete Rose. And it's a damn shame,
you know. Everybody keeps sending me this story of Lamarrow.
I'm getting salmon sperm put on his face for some
kind of facial treatment. And yes, I understand the skin
(30:06):
products irony of the Victor Brick asking lamar ot him
if he likes do.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
You like skin products?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Alfred and Huff skin product? I can get them for you.
Would you like some?
Speaker 6 (30:19):
Do you like skin products?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Love them?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
He's doing a salmon sperm facial treatment, so thank you.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
I mean that's definitely facial.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
And now everybody's sending me do you like skin products? Unbreakable?
So doctor Robert Dormon, Beverly Hills, that's the guy that
does the micro needling with salmon sperm DNA in your pores.
So if you're looking for something new, you want to
(30:53):
salmon to impregnate your face. I mean, regetics is one thing,
but if you want to have a spawning on your face,
doctor Wristler, forever go with lamar Odom, who has never
been afraid to spend money for stupid reasons. Our friend Lamar.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Odom, very very generous individual when it came to spending
money on his pals, just like Pete Rose. Right, it
looks like the Mets are beating Milwaukee. They are eight
to four already earlier today the other two road teams won.
Made the Braves keep it going as they will. Get
things started at six o'clock tonight down in San Diego
(31:29):
with a young unknown twenty one year old starter in
place at Chris Sale who's got backspasms and is out
for the wild card round.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
If San Diego goes down, Dodger fans are really gonna
sell a Bravo right, honestly, I want to put I know,
but you know it'd be an easier path.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Seems like it made no man stray from the path. Yes, Kate,
you think the doctor that Lamar saw was like, hey man,
I know this is kind of weird. You know, you know,
not into this kind of weird stuff. You probably don't
do crazy things, but it's gonna work. And Lamar's just
looking at him like that.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
I'm sure the doctor knows that he would was in
a cocaine hooker coma in a in a whorehouse in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
No, that wasn't in Vegas. Come on, let's get it straight.
He was willing to drive hours outside of Vegas to
hit up that horror house special treatment. Exactly right.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Let me recover from my coke fueled binge in the
on your ranch. I heard that's where that UNLV quarterback is. Now, yeah,
cash in that un that nil chick, he's just a
piss boy. Now, son, take the bucket. I knew I
should have stayed.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Where'd you go? I don't know. We saw him driving
off toward the Buddy Rancher. Never heard from again.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
He goes in the room.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
He had one of those Raville peck uh things on space.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
You know, I'd like to look younger.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Want you now?
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Can I interest you in some salmon sperm and jam
micro needling salmons burm. I was thinking cucumbers and ice packs,
but okay.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Those tiny moans. You hear this salmon eacold.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
My face has been impregnated.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
By a fish. Thanks for listening. Could you see Lamar
walk out of the Beverly Hills place, all happy with
the salmon spurd then he gets attacked by a bear.
The bear just eats his face. Who oh my god,
(33:33):
lamorrow and it was eaten by a bear on Beverly.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
How do you about the guy that likes to hang
out with the bear's end?
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Not well, he would be shocked and he was killed
by a bear. He was on camera, Yeah, on camera.
