Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, but it's not all World Series Matt. Tim Kates
is on top of things. Is the host of Scam
and the producer of The Petrison Money Show, and the
host of The Raiders broadcast every Sunday, and the host

(01:40):
and the host of Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck and
on nights that David Vasse Travels, host of the Dodger
Clubhouse and Dodger Talk.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
It's quite the slate. Tim Kates is doing a lot,
but he doesn't have Dodger Talk tonight. David Vassay has
Dodger talked tonight, but we not We're not going all
the way.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
We have probably some hoops talk in the five o'clock hours. Yeah,
the NBA is back and so is the Clippers. Beautiful
new stadium. Well, it's never was here, but it's a
it's back in the front of our mind. Made its
debut last night, right, But we do have two baseball types.

(02:25):
David Vassay, it's media day over at Dodger Stadium for
the World Series. And Garrett Cole is on the mic
or was on the mic a little bit earlier. All
the different press conferences are happening, and then the Dodgers
are going to do their media uh, and then the
teams are going to have respective workouts. That's all going
on out there. Tim Kates was there a little earlier

(02:45):
today but got a little bit resentful apparently about who
else was there and what kind of media was in line.
I guess he thought it was just going to be
him and like Rob Fukasaki in line, Hey watch your language.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yankees World Yankees Dodgers World Series. The eyes of the
sporting world are upon us. Yeah, type of line, and well,
you wake up to find out that you're the eyes
of the world. So it is very exciting, but not
for everybody.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Now, I did not see one member of the media
around me, and there was a couple dozen waiting for
their credentials walking in the gates, hanging out in the
same area. I didn't recognize one of them from the season. Not.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well, yeah, because it's a World Series. It's a big corporate,
global event, and everybody shows up for the World Series.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
You got every Why is that so hard to understand?
Every national baseball writer from every major market is going
to get credentialed.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Especially for the two big media markets of Los Angeles
and New York. Why why is it such a shock
to you, Tim, It's just frustrating seeing like the local
news reporter from you know, like several single stations morning shows.
Well just think think Hard Kates twenty years ago, Toda
there twenty five years ago. Hoa Cottby is retired twenty
five years ago. The local news sports people were a

(04:01):
big deal, and they would think of you as the plebeian.
How the tables have turned?

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Right?

Speaker 2 (04:10):
You're looking at the local sports TV people like they're
a loser with your big am radio chest.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
But not the sports guys who we see all the
time Cresco. There's tools too. What why not see them though?
And then they're at all the games are close to
their own network. It's the MLB network.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Who were you seeing that you were so upset about.
Is Brian Kinney out there with his hair?

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Can't miss that? But it's local people from New York
the weather.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Line, No, he does not. What about Jim Katt?

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Guys, now, Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat Kitty Cotton doesn't do
that either. I'm just saying that is it is to
be expected Tim, I just don't understand, Like you go
over there today, I don't know what you expected to
roll out the red carpet because you're the host of
the scam show. I mean it would have been nice,
but you know, well, when have they ever shown us like, hey,
you're the best?

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Tim? Does anybody ever say that? No?

Speaker 3 (04:58):
But I don't mind way in line, Okay. It's the
fact that the people in front of me and behind me,
I don't know who they are. They haven't covered the
team all year. Some of them look like local news
reporters that do the mornings doncal hacks.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Is that from where? Like Frank Motech. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
There's been so much turnover in local news here. So
you think these were local people, They might be local
radiations or local TV hacked, local TV hacks. You're saying
local TV hack go home?

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Right, Like back when it was Steve, Gillian and Dorothy
like that show exactly now ever replaced it yesterday Steve
Jill here and Dorothy were they all lined up? No?

Speaker 3 (05:36):
No, but you know yesterday he died. These people are
covered in Crafer. He does a podcast.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
He got he was part of a movement off the
air podcast preseeds. Hey, I'm off the air, but I'm
doing a podcast. Okay, so you died. No. What I'm
getting at Kates is I think you're upset with the
Atlanta Rizzo's the no no. I love the Mars Ryan
de people.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
But the World Series is run by MLB. There, MLB Network.
They're They're not even gonna have to wait in line
like Kraska.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
I'm not talking about any of those peoples.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Is going to be, you know, head on a swivel about.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
I've been doing games with that guy, Trent Rush who
works at the Lots of Sports Lodge. And I told
him because I saw him once on Channel eleven after
a baseball game on the local show, and I saw
him there with Kraska and I was like, saw you
out there with Krasker. He's like Cresco was like, you
know that guy got shot. He's like totally, I know.
I totally looked at the story he got shot. I

(06:39):
was like, you ever asked about getting shot? No, I
never had the balls. We gotta get him ball, get
the story. So it's it's the Kates is resentful because
he's got to wait in line for World Series credentials
for a world series. It's probably gonna post the highest
rating in the last thirty years I series.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
If I'm Tim.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Kates and I've been carrying like Bruce Lee, know, the
two water buckets away from my body up the hill
every day for the Dodgers, and like Menace from The
Woody Show was in front of me, and I'm trying
to get a credential or the Vanilla Kitten or something
like that.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
I'd be pretty like that. I'd be pretty pissed off.
Ronnie like that one raw? Was it like that? Was
it like that? Kate? Not to that? Is it the
Vanilla Kitten in there?

Speaker 3 (07:24):
No, it's the local reporters who yesterday are covering a
car crash. Today they're covering the Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
We covered, but but we covered the car crash too.
Couldn't the local people be like those losers that lady's
head flew off and they were terrible, Like couldn't couldn't
this be a double edged cutlass?

Speaker 1 (07:40):
No, it's not like that. I don't think they're getting credentialed.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yeah, because they grabbed they grabbed their lanyard, they asked
for their free food ticket, right, and they got their
credential now they're getting sent to the overflow.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
They're not going to be in the that that go
antiquated Dodger press box, sitting next to Bill Plaski.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
And I'm thinking about the baseball writer from like sport magazine. No, like,
I'm thinking about the baseball writer for your sporting news.
The person that you were referring to is a dying breed,
and we would we call them the ink stained wretch.
So thinking about the guy that Kate's killed right six
years ago, right, the old killed angry sports rash. You've

(08:23):
got into an argument with them on the stage. You
were upset. You're thinking you got aggressive and he died.
You're thinking about other town's equivalent of Bill Plunkett, exactly right,
an old gnarled baseball man. Those guys are great. There
comes Dallas Morning News, national baseball rider. Here comes He's
got a button down, short sleeve, button down, pair of dockers.

(08:43):
Exactly yes, Tim, But it's not that guy, right.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
I'm cool with all those people. It's you know, the
Sylvia Ortiz local news cover.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Ye look at this on the text also on the
seven one four.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
About your so Cal Toyota dealers.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
We make it easy the Channel eleven morning news anchors
will be there tomorrow. That's what Kate's has pissed about,
and so am I show the wall some respect? Is
that what it is? Kates? You saw those plastic faced ladies?

Speaker 3 (09:15):
No, it wasn't them. I know who you're talking about.
Those are lovely ladies and they cover everything.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Those a lovely lady right there, there's I think Kates
has made an appearance on that show prior.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
And I'm looking to get back on quite rightly. Ye see,
But yes tomorrow five, It could have been five, could
have been four. I don't know who any of these
people are anymore, Matt, I have no clue.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
They're all new.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Ever since Fred left, there's been a huge turnover in
the old people on TV.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
So le he's there. I heard a skateboard, but I
couldn't pitch this. This has to be the most inside
baseball segment I've ever heard.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
But what's going on the Baseball World Series? Dumb ass?
Do you want to go to the World Series? You
missed your chess. You would have had to be at
the Rancho Cucamonga BJS today for Revean and Rodney, which
I heard was a huge success. Without Ned Colletti yesterday
Jonas Knox at Hollywood Park, Mad and Fred and then

(10:06):
tickets given away by Kate this morning in the eight
am hour, and then tomorrow flawlessly.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yes morning it went really well.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
I thank you guys. Were talked it through yesterday on
the air. Hey, so we do we workshop. It's a
show about a show. Let's workshop this. Let's figure out
how to make it successful on scam and it worked.
Hopefully tomorrow will be the same. Thousands turned out at
the dja's restaurant in brew House in Rancho Kirk. I
heard they ran out of pazzookies. It was so popular,
puzzookiest they have since.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
They just started serving carmel on a plate with whip cream.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
It was like the Revenge of the Nerds whipped cream pie.
So Kate's will give those away tomorrow on the eight
o'clock hour. If you made it out there Forgan, Rogan
and Rodney with Ned Coletti in place of Rodney, are
you gonna do it at the same time, Kates, You're
gonna switch it up.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
It'll be the eight o'clock hour. I don't know which
time yet, is it eight o'clock?

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Straight up?

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Maybe it'll be eight thirty tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
How about that?

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Now, Tim, we are Matt and I uh And here's
the other big topic that's going around town and Sondheimer,
Eric Sondheimer. The LA Times asked us to address this
earlier in the week. Oh yeah, and even though it's
later in the week, we should still address it because
tomorrow in Los.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Angeles it's gonna be bad.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Everybody's well, don't talk about me, and then I beat you,
Sean Foster, don't talk about it, and then I get
home quick because and then it's really gonna be bad
because I'm gonna come back on Monday and it's gonna
be bad.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
You can do the show from here tomorrow. Are you
gonna take part in the Friday Train? I have to.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
It's a four hour show. It's before the World Series.
I can't be at home. I got to come in
especially so next week I got to travel to Boise.
So yeah, I'm going, I'm coming. We're gonna wear it. Yeah, well,
look are going to wear it on the freeway. Here's
what's going on tomorrow. Channel eleven Morning show is at
Dodger State that Dodgers World Series traffic. Okay, so that's

(12:00):
limauzin'es Don Martin, Lonrosen.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yankees, Dodgers. That that Corey Gamble five o'clock first pitch.
Oh love, Corey, you're probably talking about traffic beginning around
two o'clock, right o'clock. That's going to be a that's.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Not our baseline. Rewind rewind the baseline morning show Dodger Stadium,
Channel eleven. Then regular Friday LA traffic. There's your baseline
fair point, which is terrible, usually starts around eleven AM.
Thursday's worse, Friday's bad. Dodgers World Series traffic. Okay, and

(12:34):
don't forget the whole city is going to be all
gimmed up from that Channel eleven morning show, no doubt.
So that's going to add the Lakers are playing.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Okay, that's a seven o'clock tip or a seven thirty tip.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Lakers traffic East LA Classic at Sofi Stadium, which I
believe is sold out. They do the lower Bowl, but
that's still that's thousands of people. And you say, well,
that's cool. I'm way on the west side. I'm going
to that elo at the Forum's gonna hit you in

(13:07):
the face.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Almost bought tickets for that. Thought about it don't bring
me down. Jeff Lyn an Elo, let's go. And that's
a disaster, by the way, when you have a big
show at the Forum and an event at so Far
and don't know what the hell to do on Prairie
has to go through who doesn't.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Littering and Sofi Forum and in Sofi Forum and David
Gilmore at the end to it Dome.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
My god, if I did the first set of jeff
Lynn and Elo and then the back end of Gilmore
and Floyd at the Intuit Dome, or melt my freaking brain.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
You don't make it to either, because it's the worst
day ever in La traffic. And you melt your own
brain outside by taking pills and committing suicide.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
It's going to be a mess being bad. I'm not done.
USC football Friday night versus Rutger. I mean that's right
up the street, right up the street from the four
h five. Everybody knows Rutgers travels according to long count,
so downtown or you know the area, you're gonna have Lakers, Dodgers,

(14:10):
every other a hole in the city doing their thing.
Two concerts US and USC football, two concerts and the
high school game. Gilmour el O East La Classic Inglewood.
I mean you're probably talking about fifty probably twenty five
sixty thousand people on prairie within a mile in two

(14:33):
it domes probably twenty twenty five forums, twenty five. I
think the game's probably eight to ten thousand. Stay out
of Stay at Inglewood. I got what more for you?
What Cathedral High School playing Saint Francis. Oh, let's go Phantoms,
come on other side of the one ten freeway the Phantoms.
Oh I might go to that game. Well, you know,
you get stranded, you could just ditch your car and walk,

(14:54):
just walk over to the Cathedral High Listen, everybody, make
sure you pack water and blankets in case you get stranded. Water, blankets,
maybe some canned foods.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
But we have a four hour show and it's World
Series Dodgers Yankees. Even though we're not invited in the stadium,
and even though the show starts incredibly early, I feel
like we're supposed to be here.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, we'll be here. I'm just trying to think. Now
you're you're really fed because you've got to drive straight through.
Oh yeah, I can maybe flank this if I go
to ten to six oh five and maybe try to
get all the way around there.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
There's things I can do, there's places I can go.
They'll all add time, but they would, they would alleviate
the strass. I mean, there's a lot of straight shots
to the South Bay from downtown Vermont, Figueroa.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Here's what I was the shaw. I was thinking, maybe
a thorn. Maybe you take the one on one out
to like to pang A Canyon and then you hop
that over to p h and Mallowys and then you
shoot up P eight. Why can't I just why can't
I just make a turn at the skirball? I mean,
why do I have to go all the way out?
Why don't you want to do it? Why do I
have to go all the way? You want to get

(16:04):
way outside it? It is eight o'clock at night and
I've just entered the wetlands. I'm right by l m U.
I've managed to get around it. Though I have managed
to get around it. VIC. Are you You're obviously not
concerned about traffic, are you? Vic?

Speaker 5 (16:20):

It's a crazy, wacky, different beast, and.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
We love it.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
But the well Kates doesn't like the participation of the
rest of the people. He thinks it's it's right, just
not allowed to be here. It's it's too late.

Speaker 5 (16:41):
Listen, everyone craves are credentialed. Everyone craves access.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
You're to be in the house where history will be made.

Speaker 1 (16:50):

each of these applies to. I'm taking the Dodgers Yankees

and it's like asking my daughter what she wants for breakfast.
It's just not going to happen.

at home. Yeah, but with the worst day ever in
La Traffick. On the early start, my son's band is
supposed to be performing The Weight at ten fifteen and
Riviera Hall Lutheran School. How am I going to miss that?
Is that right? Yeah? That is really weird. I'm not kidding.

(19:42):
I had a dream last night that we were singing
the Weight. Well, it's a great song together, yet changing
the lyrics for some reason. That is insane. Of all
the references with Elo and Gilmore out there and war

Speaker 4 (20:54):
We don't know what we loaded, fully loaded. It's just
unbelievable ray of entertainment. And one night it really is.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
I could see like a weight cover and Manny Ramirez
was still here, like take a load off, Manny, take
a load for free.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah. I think we changed the word to take a
course off. I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Oh, for Concordia, what it was weird for Concordia is
a very dream. Who's playing the Orpheum? Because if you

for you to hear your name called. If you made
your way out to the BJ's restaurant in brew House
and Rancho Kucamonga registered with Rogan and Rodney earlier. No
Rodney ned KELLETTI out there. Don't want to confusia scam.
Tomorrow eight Am will announce the winner, so be sure
to tune in to Sacks and Kate's and the am scam. Matt,

(24:18):
we love the MLB Network, We love the coverage. Watching
it right now, well Tonny's talking. We love the food,
and we love the prices. But the best guy is
Matt vast Kershen. Nobody is smooth and cool, unassuming, humble
but good looking, handles himself with balance, and most sportscasters,

(24:44):
let's be honest, pretty annoying.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Vast Cursion has transcended that pretty cool. Check him out
on the MLB Network starting tomorrow for the debut of
World Series Game Day. Maybe he'll give us his Getty
Lee impression.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
Tomorrow morning.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
It's Sam prior to Yankees Dodgers Game one at Dodger Stadium.
He's gonna have to nudge the Fox eleven people out
of the way.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
I guess. On the SoCal Toyota Dealer's Celebrity Hotline, it
is the great Matt vasque Cursion on the Petrosen Money Show.
What's cracking, Matt? How are you?

Speaker 7 (25:16):
You guys are too kind?

Speaker 1 (25:21):
My friend? That's very good Greek from a fabulous Armenian. Uh.
Speaking of that, when was the last time he came
over to Glendale.

Speaker 7 (25:30):
It's in a while. Gosh, I think I bought a
rug there in.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Like a late time rug.

Speaker 7 (25:38):
And I can make that joke.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah, else makes that joke. We gotta fight and we
can laugh at it because you made the joke. Yeah,
the great Matt vest Cursion. How how much different is
a Yankees Dodgers World series from any other world series?
Are we making a big deal out of it because
we're in l A Or is having these two titans

(26:01):
tangle a huge freaking boon for Major League Baseball?

Speaker 7 (26:05):
Oh? My god, there are these have been a decade
long prayers answered, Matt. I mean, honestly, not to speak
ill of the Diamondbacks and Rangers, but we went from
one extreme to the other with a world series last
year that was very regionalized to something now that you know,

(26:27):
battles the presidential election for space on places like Yahoo, right,
because now everybody feels like they've got a piece of this.
Everybody knows who Shoeo Tani is, everybody knows who the
Yankees are, and whether you have skin in the game
or not, these are this is what you dream of.
I mean, my god, there are people rubbing lucky talismans

(26:51):
together at Fox and there have been every year since
they got baseball at ninety six to get this very
matchup and finally that that's happening for us.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Well, you pray for rayin longan off. You know it's
gonna rain.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Matt Vestcursion is our guest and we are so happy
to have him. When when Otani well over the summer,
when we were chasing a plane to Canada and all
that stuff, and Otani ended up being a Dodger, which
kind of seemed like a no brainer. Now when you
look back on the season he's had, is this what
everybody envisioned? Is this what you envisioned? I mean, you know,

(27:24):
Southern California sports is as well as anybody Otani in
La is it? Is it what you thought it would be?
Like you're not even pitching yet.

Speaker 7 (27:32):
Yeah, it is, it is. And that's that's kind of
the scariest part of it. Like nobody nobody saw fifty
eight and fifty three coming. I mean, nobody saw this
kind of season. We all knew he was going to
be good here. We all knew it was going to
be a great fit. From a marketing standpoint. From a
baseball standpoint, the fact that he's en route to his

(27:52):
third MVP Award and he didn't pitch this year makes
you think you could probably save two or three more
for him down the road. He's going to end up
with more than anybody in the history of the sport,
quite possibly. And the seven hundred million dollars deal that
we all rolled our eyes over and said, how could

(28:13):
they They're you know, that's more than the gross national
product of some third world nations. Somehow it feels reasonable
now for him. I can't believe I'm even saying that,
because I was shocked and kind of disgusted by the
dollar figure, but especially when you consider they're making interest
on their own money. They're paying them a million of

(28:33):
years and tell what twenty thirty nine or something like that,
like they're going to make their money back and they
might have already made their money back in Jersey sales,
for Christ's sake. It's unbelievable how this has gone.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
It's only three point fifty for the Otani City connect
Jersey and it's only like a giant, huge tour bus
full of tourists that buy sixty of them can't keep
him on the rack. Yeah. Yeah, and the ball got
auctioned off for four and a half million bucks ball
that he hit, So apparently Otani is worth a lot.
What about like we we of course know the Dodgers lineup.

(29:07):
We saw the Dodgers lineup mash all the way through
the postseason against the Padres, against the Mets. What are
we looking at with these Yankees? We know obviously Aaron Judge,
but it seems like gian Carlo Stanton's come alive here
in the postseason. How good is this lineup top to
bottom of the Yankees that they're throwing at this thing?

Speaker 7 (29:26):
It's good, but it's got its It has its holes
like any good lineup, Right, there's a lot of swing
and miss in this lineup. And I know you guys
in California, you don't have access to the fanduels and
draft Kings of the world.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
We're out here in the dark. I mean, we might
as well be in Subatra out here. We got nothing.

Speaker 7 (29:47):
It's it sucks because it does make it a lot
of fun, right, And when you look at some of
the expected numbers, So that's the most accurate place I
think to predict what's going to happen because those numbers
are so sharp. So they've got Jack Larity at four
and a half strikeouts for Game one tomorrow night. There's
a ton of swing and miss in that lineup, and
Flarity's below was down significantly in his second LCS start

(30:08):
as compared to when he cruised in the first. But
Stanton as good as he is. Sixteen homers in thirty
six career postseason games, that's just amazing. He'll strike out,
Judge will strike out. These teams have something in common
in that their opponents have thrown them more breaking balls

(30:28):
in the postseason than during the regular season as a
team collectively, so I wouldn't expect too many grooved fastballs
to the big hitters in either lineup. I think it's
going to be a lot of spin, a lot of
guessing game stuff, And I think the Yankees look as
talented as they are and as good as they are,

(30:48):
they're a terrible base running team. I wouldn't be surprised
if on a couple of occasions they run themselves out
of innings, into outs, and potentially out of wins. Because
they were lucky to get past the Royal Considering some
of the stuff that happened on the basis.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Madam, if you if you had to guess, well, let
me se, I'm gonna make this a two parter. One.
Do you think we see Otani pitch if there's a
game seven and two, if he does and faces Aaron Judge,
with the game and the balance and a critical at bat,
do you suspect that could possibly go down as one of,

(31:24):
if not the biggest moment in World Series history.

Speaker 7 (31:30):
I think it would. I mean, I didn't even take
it that far. Mad that's interesting, and yes, I think
it would be the biggest World Series in base moment
world Series history, you know, pre outcome. But I also
think this, I don't think there's a snowballs chance that
he pitches really World Series. I just don't know. I don't.
I think they they like their bullpen more than the

(31:52):
public seems to like their bullpen. Speaking of the Dodgers,
and if you if you just talk about their A
group trine in Copek, Brasier, Phillips, right, that's the higher
leverage group. They've got an ERA under two since August first,
So much maligned has been the Dodger bullpen. You know,

(32:13):
a lot's been made to the fact that they have
two and a half starters, but they liked that group.
So Dave Roberts did a really good job using his
lower leverage bullpen when they were getting blown out in
those two games against the Mets, and then using his
horses when he needed him to earn the win. And
I think they're going to do the same thing against
the Yankees. In fact, I kind of like the way

(32:34):
they've handled their bullpen a little bit more than what
the Yankees have done in getting Luke Weaver up and
down a lot. He was exposed by the end of
that Cleveland series and he gave up homers in back
to back games. Is Tommy Kinley going to throw his
forty ninth consecutive change up? This dude has thrown forty
eight consecutive changeups dating back to the regular season. It's

(32:58):
unbelievable right the way the Dodgers created this monster because
when he was a Dodger for a hot minute, they
were the team as he was coming off Tommy John
surgery that wanted him to feature that pitch and become
a change up guy. Trevor Hoffman light, if you will.
And now they're going to have to deal with that
as opponents. It's a good pitch, his change up, but

(33:20):
how long can you get away with that? The problem
is you throw a change up at ninety one miles
an hour, your ninety seven mile an hour fastball looks
like a one hundred and six. So, I mean, there's
so many fascinating substories here, Mookie Betts, Alex Verdugo involved
in the same trade. Forget about the super duper stars,
the four, you know, the four biggest stars out there,

(33:42):
even the role players like key K a Hernandez is
like Babe Ruth in the postseason. This guy's hit fifteen
career postseason homers. There's only four Dodgers in franchise history
that have hit more, and we're talking about key K
a Hernandez. He's not a power hitter, but in the
fall he turns into a monster. I just love all
the story lines here, and I've not been this excited
for a world series since probably the A's lost to

(34:07):
the Dodger in eighty eight was unhittable.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
I thought you were gonna say Rangers t backs. The
Great Matt Vesque Cursion is our guest. We're always happy
to have him MLB Network. He's a star now vesq Cursion.
You're a national guy and you're recognized nationally, but that
doesn't mean you don't have your finger on the pulse
of the city of Los Angeles. And Tim kaits our
producer who you know very well and does a lot

(34:31):
of programming around. A little resentful today waiting in line
today to get his press credential. Didn't like all the
local hacks, he said, picking up their credentials. Didn't like
the look of them, didn't like waiting in line, a
little bit of a sense of entitlement. He is working
about fifteen hour days here full disclosure. Do you feel

(34:52):
like that as the face of the MLB network? Do
you feel like, why am I standing here next to
Rob Bukazaki? Give me my credential?

Speaker 1 (34:58):
Like? What are your feelings? You know?

Speaker 7 (35:01):
You know, I don't. I don't begrudge anybody from the
local markets that are covering their team, not not in
the least bit. What I don't love are the national
guys that haven't really flown around baseball all year because
they've been too busy arguing about the Dallas Cowboys and
Lebron and Bronni and all the other low hanging fruit.

(35:23):
And now all of a sudden, you're going to show up.
Those are what I call the Christmas and Eastern Catholics
of baseball. I go to mass every Sunday, don't We
don't need you All Star Game World Series. That's the
only time I see you. That's the only time you're
going to talk about baseball. I'm not going to name
names here, but you could probably imagine who we're all
thinking of here that it's national guys that don't know

(35:44):
or care about baseball. Now suddenly you care about baseball.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
There's a reason where there's a reason we're covering up
Cowherd tomorrow. Yeah, not going to hear them here on
the station from night to noon. Not going to hear
and he did. However, he did mention once, Matt, you'll
appreciate this that he was looking at the coliseum driving
down the four h five. So he's a guy who
really knows the La Markt real good. He's a real
beat because he's lived here for years now. I wanted

(36:09):
to share that on it. Are you guys choppering into
the game. That's the rumor that you guys are going
to chop her in with a big poppy and everything.

Speaker 7 (36:16):
Well, how about this. I'm not going I mean, I
appreciate the pop for the show in the morning, I'm
doing this morning show. You know, like everybody else in
the media now, MLB Network is falling all over itself
to try to create more programming for this. I mean,
there was no thought or discussion of a world series
morning show when it was.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
Show.

Speaker 7 (36:37):
But it's the third time we've insulted that world series
in less than fifteen minutes. I apologize, but yeah, I mean,
we can't get enough of this. So like everybody's racing
to create content about this world series. And that's that's
what we're doing tomorrow in the morning. And if boy,
if anybody is that baseball starved, you're getting up at
six am in LA to watch us. So I tipped

(36:59):
my cap. We appreciate, and I hope we deliver something
that's compelling tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Well, you're up against the Steve Sacks and Tim Kate's
morning show that we just assembled here from six to nine.

Speaker 7 (37:10):
Oh, is that why Sack? That's why Sacks couldn't come
on with us. We're trying to get him.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
On exactly right, he's doing six to nine hits A scramble.
Dan Patrick got no shot. He's been pissed, he's been
covered up for three weeks. He's relegated to the stream.
But a time to be alive and all.

Speaker 7 (37:28):
I wanted to hear Sacks tell stories about he and
Pedro Barrero running around with each other in the clubhouse.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
We all know that story, mother, We all know that. Yeah,
we've all heard that one. You know what is it?
By the way, as we've kept you far too long, man,
I was a man who has a sense of baseball history.
I would love to know this. They give out three
MVPs from the eighty one World Series, right, Guerrero, Sacks, Uh, Fernando,

(37:58):
and Garvey hits four to twenty in the series, and
is they can't give out a fourth, Like, how did
that happen? How did he get shut out hitting four
hundred in a World Series and he doesn't get one
of the three MVPs.

Speaker 7 (38:09):
Yeah, I still I remember that at the time, and
I thought it was cool because I was whatever, sixteen
years old, and I thought that was cool that three
Dodgers got an MVP award. I don't think they'd do
that anymore. I think that was a whiff. I think
that was just a bad idea, like pick a guy,
pick a dude, and if I had to pick a dude,

(38:30):
by the way, on either side. Again, no help for
California listeners with no access to online gaming. But I
think five of the last sixteen World Series MVPs have
also been LCS World MVPs. So Carlos Stanton, Tommy Edmond,
they're both hot. Why not? I think Mookie Betts is

(38:51):
going to have big Series two. I mean he's been
red hot the last eight games. I put my money
behind like Bets and Stanton, those are the Chalky guys
for me.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
All right, well, we appreciate you. Thank you Vassursion, You're
a prince, and enjoy your time covering this World Series.
Not as impactful as last year, of course, but I'm
sure you guys will manage cheers.

Speaker 7 (39:15):
You guys are the best.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
Yesterday, thank you, mt Is Matt vasq Ursion on the
SoCal Toyota Dealers Celebrity hotline. MLB Network doing great work
your Home of the World Series live coverage before and
after every game with highlights, interviews, expert analysis and more
from the Dodgers Yankees on mlbnetwork dot com. Look at

(39:38):
Liightteries up there doing it.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Yeah, when we return, Dak Prescott, Lebron James and low
Hanging Fruit. That's what we gotta get back to.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Actually I did turn on Coward this morning and he
was talking about Jerry Jones. Understandable. The World Series starts tomorrow, Yankees, Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
I don't care what you guys are doing. I'm going
to the Troubadour to see Michigan or we'll be right
back with more.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Big thank you to mad vesk Gershen from MLB Network
for joining us in that last segment. A great conversation.
Not to mention some tips if you know where to
place some bets.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Well, there is the corrections and retractions on the World
Series Trio.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Corrections and it was Jaeger, Jaeger, Say and Guerrero that's right,
And as Ron Say yesterday, Say said yesterday. Yeah, there
was some more Latino fans when Fernando started pitching, but
we already broke attendance records. We built that house. So
Ron Say wanted everybody to know that, and he said,

(40:55):
we doubled up road and home. All right, Yeah, so
what do you remember about Fernando? We built that house.
That's something some sound that Matt pulled from yesterday. But yeah,
Steve Yeger, who was I apologize Jeger And he was
on the Scam Show this morning, beautiful Steve Yeger. So

(41:16):
we're happy about that. This says they should call the
show Rogan and infrequently Rodney. He'll be on tomorrow. I
think I don't know it, says Rogan and Rodney. I
assume he'll be on tomorrow. I got one for you, Tim,
Are you ready? That's nine to noon by the way,
we're noon to four. Tim was a little butt hurt

(41:37):
waiting in line today for his credential. He's down talking
to Conway.

Speaker 7 (41:43):
Kill.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
I heard that Eric and Lyle have a real blood,
a blood vendetta against Tim Conway Jr.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
I mean, if you're gonna get killed side show, Bob,
let it be the Menandez brothers thirty years later. Killing
Tim Conway great for us. It's great unless we get
caught in the crossbar well that I would be upset
about that. Wouldn't it be great for us?

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Would Kate still be salty? If Susan here Asuna lean
into Wins and Sharon Tay we're picking up their credentials in.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
Front of him. I don't get it. Why those three
local news on h I guess so some sort of
local news thing. I don't know. I'm not smart enough
to decipher this though.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Good God, Pee, you're some kind of savant White Lion lyrics.
What kind of useful information do you have to repel
from your brain to be able to remember the White Lion? Listen, man,
white line's a big deal. I don't know where you
grew up, wrong with you, But if you don't know
the White Lion, when the children cry or wait, and

(42:42):
that is the extent of my white Lion.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
The extent of everybody.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
Yeah, well.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Except for the real weirdest, if you're a real weirdo.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
I saw him the other day. I saw him at
the Canyon Club. They were excellent. They play every third
week of the month. P I'm asking my Sperms to
go to game two. It's way easier than having to
drive to the edge of the freaking earth to listen
to checker.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
I'm sorry I missed that last part. What can you
read it? Or no? Yeah, no I can't. We'll be
better there it is, thank you, Ronny. Oh, then, now
this is a band. It's just what you lead with
you lead with the mid tempo rocker, and then you

(43:32):
come back with the children over the hand. Right, That's
how you become an arena rock band.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
No more presidents and all the wars will write One
United World under God. Under that sounds like globalism, you'd
call He's shut up. I don't want the white Lion
guy to choose what government I live under. This commy propaganda,

(43:59):
dry cry. Do you think there was a time the
White Lion thought this is gonna be bigger than man
in the mirror. Let's get a bunch of Ethiopian kids
on this video.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
Yes, I do believe that, And I believe there was
a record exec lighting a cigar with one hundred dollars bills.
He was so excited about that prospect. What do you
think is gonna happen when two guys that Conway thinks
are dressed up in Menandez Brothers Halloween costumes come up
to him and it's actually really Eric and Lyle and
they kill him or he kills two Nizents. Yeah, it

(44:33):
doesn't work either way. Who draws first? You gotta lay
low if you're a if you're Tim Conway Jr. Imagine
like us pulling out of it, Like if we're on
a flex alert and we're off at like four o'clock
and we leave and we say, man, that looked a
lot like the Menendez brothers.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
Yought, it's kind of funny, I thought, I know, I
know they didn't incarcerated. It didn't struck me enough to
do a U turn and Warren Conway, but it was odd.
Uh oh, who could forget White Lion covered Radar Love?

Speaker 1 (45:06):
Is that right? Guys? We can't write another one? What
should we cover? I'd go Radar Love?

Speaker 2 (45:12):
This was a great black and white video in a warehouse,
beautifully made. Now wasn't socially impactful, like the children.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
Cried no no, but it's a rocker. But he gave
you an idea, let's dance. What White Line is going
to be? Like if only I had blonde hair long
enough to perm and then tease out. I remember I
went to be a.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
I went to the CD store and was like, am
I gonna get Appetite or am I gonna get White
Lion Pride? And I bought Pride, and then a week
later I was like, yeah, you know, I might as
well buy this GNR.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
But he's talking about it.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
We'll be back with more petros and money on I
seventy La Sports.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
You're a home of White Lion
