Speaker 1 (03:35):
Purchase in store only. And now it's time for the
top story of the day, Top Story of itou enough
of these distractions around these parts. You look at our logo,
it says AM five to seventy LA sports And what
does that la look like?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
The Dodger logo.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
That's right, no matter what season, is not even a
fake gas station Dodger logo, the real one real. Lon
Rosen said, we could use.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It, trade mark approved.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Barzini said, I could have my casino. Can't do a deal.
That's what we got. Timing is everything. We have talked
about it with the Dodgers time and time again. We
have talked about the advantage they have financially because of
the Guggenheim partners being in charge, the financial vehicles that
(04:23):
they have installed to help them facilitate roster construction, maximize
the potential of the players they are able to acquire.
Dave Asset touched on this yesterday and I felt like
it was worth building on, and he joined us last hour.
By the way, as well as the winter meetings wrapped
the fact and this goes back to the timing. I'm
(04:43):
sure you'll build on something he said today tomorrow. The
fact that the Dodgers were able to land snow Zilla
Blake Snell when they did, instead of sitting waiting wishing
(05:04):
to see how the market played out, hoping and praying,
landed them a two time cy Young winner for less
guaranteed money than Max Freed it's a very good player,
hell of a pitcher, but he's not.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Blake Snell.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
And his other teams are now scrambling trading prospects. The
Boston Red Sox moved their first round pick, a top
fifteen pick from twenty twenty three and a guy that's
ranked right around thirty five thirty eight on most publications
at top one hundred prospects, along with their number one
pick just six months ago for Garrett Crochet signing Max
(05:44):
freed For looks to be about fifty million more than
the MLB trade rumor projection, and everybody knows.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
The MLB trade rumor projections are typically spent on.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I didn't believe it the first time I heard it.
That's what you should be paying. Well, what did you
say on MLB trade rumors? Said like one to sixty
and they paid them what to eighteen holes? Snap, That
is a premium. The Dodgers have been ahead of the
curve for the last decade, and I am happy, and
(06:13):
I think we are happy. You sound happy, and I
believe they are happy that they can puff their chests
out finally and show off what Joe Madden told us
a mere I don't know five years ago. Was the
greatest asset of Andrew Friedman.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
He's a scout.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That's the thing about Andrew. Nobody sees, identifies, and acquires
talent better than Andrew Friedman. For all the other things
you want to shower upon him.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
It's hard to argue those points after the way this
World Series played.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Out, right, because if they hadn't won the World Series,
everybody would be fired. We wouldn't be doing this, I
can tell you that we'd be talking about not were
Dave Roberts.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Wouldn't be an OKI now and doing a victory lane light,
wouldn't be talking to the scouts.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
That's the highlight of his off season, of all the
things he got to do usc UCLA game, spinning the
Charger siren parades Okie Nawa was the crown jewel of
his Rubber Chicken off season circuit. But none of it
would have happened had they not won the World Series.
(07:29):
We would not be talking about how the Dodgers were
ahead of the curve. As crazy as it may sound
considering some of the previous top stories in this particular space,
Dodgers ahead of the curve, not worrying about picture injuries,
but accepting them, embracing them, and recognizing there's no way
(07:49):
around him. You can't play scared in the free agent
market when it comes to pitchers or russe, you'll never
sign anybody. And that's how ahead of the curve, how
important the bullpen, how important the bullpen is, the attrition
experienced in the bullpen, and making sure you take a
(08:11):
shotgun approach and you sign all these dudes the minor
league deals, and you coach them up and you'll wait
for him to pop. Peterson, Vessia, Morrow, no name dudes
signing minor league deals that end up contributing at some
point throughout the year because attrition, sooner or later is
(08:31):
going to take hold.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Depth is king.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
The Dodgers have it in spades. But let's start with
Snow thrown over one hundred and eighty innings twice in
his career. Each of those seasons he won the Cy
Young following season, he missed some time because it was
a heavier workload compared to his one hundred and thirty
one hundred and twenty seven hundred thirty innings that he
looks to be comfortable with. So last season the Giants
(08:57):
had to wear it. It's busted up a little bit
coming off that one hundred eighty innings San Diego padre
Cy Young season, missed all of spring training waiting to
sign a contract, missed most of the month of June
only through one hundred and four innings, which means you
should be in great shape for these Dodgers. The thing
with Snow is he's a notoriously so slow starter year
in and year out. Look at last year. Twelve ERA
(09:19):
in April, nine ERA in May, six, e RA in June,
five starts in July point seven, five ERA, one point
zero four in August, and a one point zero zero
in September.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
That's what you're looking for. That's that is right, the trajectory.
I'm no seamhead like you. I can't show off my
seams just by putting my head down toward the camera. Personally, personally,
I can't do that. But Matt, you're showing your seams.
But I know that that kind of trajectory toward the postseason,
(09:55):
that's what you're looking for.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
That's what we do here, got Weather.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
There are Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I throw twelve different starters over the course of the
regular season.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
They don't need him. In April don't need him in
may need him in October. And in his career he's
thrown fifty post season innings with a three to three
three ERA. That's like half of what Kershaw got. Max
Freed made one start in the playoffs last year, two innings,
five runs, an ERA of twenty two point five. His
(10:29):
postseason career ERA in twelve starts with his two and
five record, His one point five whip is five point
one zero. And yet somehow he notched thirty million more
(10:53):
dollars than Blake Snell because the Yankees are in panic mode.
Rodgers locked up Blake trining and these guys are freaking
out over next right before the reliever market caught fire,
they locked up Blake trying it two years, twenty two
(11:14):
million dollars. You would be hard pressed to find three
relievers you would rather have on the mound in the
ninth inning in a playoff game with the game and
the balance than Blake trying it, And they got him
an eleven million per season that would not even have
made the top ten highest paid relievers in baseball last
year top fifteen. Would you rather send trying it out
(11:38):
there or Josh Hater who made nineteen million bucks and
was a freaking circus put a tenth on them in
the playoffs. I guess it sort of depends on when
you know the guy was pitching circus. I mean, I
don't want to, you know, I mean I I let
me just answer it like you want me to. I
(11:58):
want trying it out there. That's exactly right. Kenley Jansen
made sixteen million dollars last year. Sixteen million Kenley Jansen.
Craig Kimberrel made twelve million dollars last year, and the Dodgers,
(12:20):
accounting for inflation, which is a mother effort these days,
got tried in for a million less than Craig Kimberl
last year.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Who was what.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
A circus out there on the mout And that guy
made twelve million bucks last year, and the Dodgers like, yeah,
how about eleven? You got it man, eleven eleven million bucks.
They take advantage of their great situation, their great clubhouse atmosphere,
the ability to promise a legitimate shot at the World Series,
and a massive wallet that'd take tuck into their deep pockets,
(12:52):
and we should all be incredibly thankful for all that
they deliver to this community as stewards of the most
popular sports franchise in all the land. They have really
outpaced the Lakers in town. I wonder why Larantas Larondas And.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
That's just this year.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I mean, think about the foresight that Andrew Friedman had
been locking up Mookie Bets twelve years, three hundred and
sixty five million dollars for Mookie Bets when he was
twenty eight years old. Won so do at twenty six
fifteen for seven fifty Oh.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
It feels like they feels like they've everything that everybody
does deferring money signing a player like that for a
deal like that, it feels like the Dodgers did it first.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Mookie Bets, who can play right field at a gold
Glove level, second base a gold Glove level. He's not
that great at shortstop, but that's where he's gonna. Listen,
She's gonna have a whole off season. That's all right.
Gavin Lux isn't showing up to Arizona in February with
the freaking yips, and now Mookie's pressed into action. He's
(14:14):
gonna have the whole off season. And I'm sure you've
heard Kate's is out there hitting him fungos every day.
He's taking it seriously. Wood fungos no less spanked it. Eh,
they take advantage. Freddie Freeman six years, one hundred and
sixty two million. Sure he was thirty one when he
(14:36):
signed it, But six years, one hundred and sixty two
million for a guy that has one of the most
iconic swings and hits in the history of the World Series.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
And you're gonna give one Sodo and his pockmarked face, jeez,
fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Seven hundred fifty million dollars. Look our teams leaving the
Winter meetings right now as we speak, wheels up after
Adele friscoes double pack, your col and Ribi all pissed off,
all super sad, wondering what the hell happened. And even
(15:19):
though the only move the Dodgers made while in Dallas
was re signing Blake Trining and Michael Conforto, feels like
both of those moves can end up going a long
way about ten months from now, when some other guys
might have a little bit of buyer's remorse because all
they're doing is playing catchup, and.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
We got the mustard.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Dave Roberts isn't the only one doing a Dodger's victory
lap Ladies It gentleman, that's exactly right. Matt Smith will
be signing cards at the Burbank Sports Cards a Memorabellia
Shop Saturday between one and four. Very exciting time for
the Dodgers because with the trophy in the case, it
(16:08):
really feels like the Dodger fans out around town are
playing with house money.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
And we'll return with more great sports talk. Your word
number song of the day. Ronnie must have his.
Speaker 1 (16:20):

Speaker 2 (18:06):
His words, the word of the day.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
What are the headline?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
What should the headline be?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Today?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Sports? That's all we think about. Here's the other story
nobody's talking about.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
You know, I'm not a racist, he's a bad headline,
what are the headlines? Well, Matt, I know that you
missed this segment and you just love it. We are
only two days away from my screening of Holiday Touchdown
Let's Go Chiefs, which I'm going to be on top
(18:35):
of once it airs on my Cox cable, so I'm
looking forward to that. But there is some more Chiefs
other than their great performance on Sunday night against the Chargers.
There is a little bit more Chiefs news. You're familiar
with Caitlin Clark, the basketball player, an.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Iowan refresh my memory? Who is she?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
She's quite a quite a feed on okay, w NBA star.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Let me look it up, see if I can jog
my memory here.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
She's recently acknowledged her white privilege. But that's not this story.
This is in the latest episode of Time Magazine, Matt
as Caitlan Clark was recognized as Times Athlete of the Year,
just edging out Gus Edwards.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Everybody else. Everybody else was on the Gus bus. But
it's a tight vote.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
It was gent and Travis Hunter like, but it just
didn't work out for Edwards. But Times Athlete of the
Year Caitlin Clark revealed that last month she attended back
to back double up Taylor Swift concerts at Local Soil
(19:50):
Stadium in beautiful Indianapolis, Naptown, I see Indiana last month.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I could see that she watched the tour in a
private suite. She got to meet Travis Kelcey and Andrea Swift.
Taylor Swift's mother was a real cow. Did she get
to meet Donna kelce though did not.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Say that she went to two of the three shows.
And Taylor Swift, who's twelve years Caitlyn Clark senior but
maybe seventeen years less mature, gifted her four bags of
Era's tour merch with a personalized note about how inspiring
(20:36):
Caitlin Clark was.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Oh, that's a nice touch.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
How about that? You know what they say that is
p game recognize game. I believe that's they call that right,
game recognized games. That's right, That is what they say.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
That's game recognized game. Right there.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
And Taylor Swift said she was excited to attend a
Fever game, and she even allegedly invited Caitlin Clark to
attend Kansas City Chiefs game to watch Travis Kelcey catch
his hank route and fall forward for eight yards.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I can. I want to do that dumb ass game.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You know, it's really hard, Matt, It's really hard to
find stories that aren't going to offend you. It's hard.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Clark was seen dancing at the concert, singing and just
like the Prime Minister of Canada while Montreal was burning,
exchanging friendship bracelets with fellow fans. Hey you want a bracelet? A,
she told Time magazine. People are just going crazy that
I'm here. I thought people would be so in their
(21:42):
own world ready to see Taylor, and it was just
completely the opposite.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
They're here to see me.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
They're here to see me.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Caylen Clark, I'm a long face and look at a.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Hey what it's not.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I'm a horse Monday man, I've shared anyway, that's the headline.
Caitlin Clark at the Big Taylor Swiss Show. Did not
want you to miss that headline.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I know how much you enjoy the head I do
enjoy the headlines.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
And that's the headline.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
What are the headlines?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
That's it? I hope you're not a racist?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
What should the headline be?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Today?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Sports? That's all we think about. Here's the other story
nobody's talking about.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
You know, I'm not a racist.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I mean, I hope you do.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
He's a bad headline. What are the headlines? And now
it's time with the number of the day.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
He's a number number of the day.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
You know, I'm not a racist at least I hope
you do. I hope your number of the day is three.
I wrapped up my week after surgery. I appointment with
doctor Marafi a little bit early and went to get
some lunch before I made my way over here to
the AM five to seven LA Sports Studios and in
an effort to try to eat a little bit more
(22:51):
healthy than maybe I am apt to when placed in
that situation, like a nice brisket burrito that gives me
the bubble guts, or a Carl's You and your famous
Star combo which had nothing at all. I just decided,
on this particular occasion, I was going to get over
to the Whole Foods and get a nice, you know,
maybe salad.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Did you see the sandwich?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Did you run into the sandwich witch?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I ran into your sandwich witch?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
You did?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I did? Your sandwich? Witch was hovering?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Was she in front of you or behind you?
Speaker 2 (23:26):
She was behind me?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Oh, and she wanted a comment on your sandwich, didn't
she Well, not only was she behind You're gonna Oh,
you're gonna love this. Not only was she behind me,
she alleged that I cut her off and that I
took her place in line, which is impossible since I
(23:50):
had no idea she was theirs till she started chirping.
And that's when I recognized, Oh, this must be the
sandwich witch.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Oh dugout chirping from the sandwich witch. She's like, oh,
she's not just ordering one sandwich like a healthy Matt Smith,
the voice of the bolt right, the sandwich Witch is
ordering like for the whole office.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
She she goes, oh, did you not see me? That
was the first thing she said. I turned around and
I was like, I'm sorry, did I not see you?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
What She's like, Well, I was. I was in line,
and I said, well.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I don't think you were. I walked up right down
the aisle where you're standing, and you weren't there. And
I just walked behind this gentleman here that's getting his
turkey bacon avocado, and I stood right here and this
is the first I've seen of you. Oh no, I
was here. I was behind this pillar right here at
the end of the South bar. I said, wow, I said, well,
(24:45):
I don't mean to be rude, but she claims she
claims a lot of tenure.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yes, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yes, she goes, well, that's and that's how I knew
she was the sandwich. Witch said, yes, I usually stand
here when I come to order the sandwich because I
lean again. It's exactly I lean again the pillar, and
it's very comfortable because the sandwich, you know, takes a
little while to mess like okay sandwich, which has a
lot of explain explain. Yes. I then said, well, I
don't mean to be rude. If I felt like I
(25:14):
cut in front of you, I certainly would give you
my place in line. And I did not remember what
you just said that she orders a bunch of sandwiches,
which would have driven me insane had she insisted she
jump in front of me. I let her, and then
she orders like ten sandwiches. I said, however, I really
don't feel like I cut in front of you. I
feel like I was attentive and looked around and there
was no one behind me. And to be honest, I
have to get across the street to work. I have
(25:35):
a deadline and I said, I really, I'm sorry, And
to her credit, she was polite after I said that. Yes,
after that, she's like, and I guess it was a
little condescending. She was or was a little bit of
a little aggressive, little passive aggressive. Well, I guess I
(25:55):
understand if you don't know how the line lines up,
then that's fine.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Totally. She's like, guy, totally understand.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
You don't know how it lines I'm sorry that I offended.
I'm sorry that you might be offended. And instead of
and of course, it takes it takes a while for
the sandwich to be made.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
It's very fan while the sandwich, which mouth breeze on
your neck, yes, and as he's getting your comment on
your sandwich, like, oh, I would do sprouts.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
She did not.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I think, well, I think she was upset. So as
I watched the sandwich artist, people at the bacon avocado
they don't like the sandwich, which they want to see
what happened happened?
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I got that sense.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, I got that sense because the woman who was
making the turkey bacon avocado for the gentleman in front
of me was looking at me and you know how
you open your eyes like yep, here we are. Yep.
She gave me kind of one of those, and that's
what led me to say, no, I'm I'm not going
to give up my place in line. I'm going to
stand right here. That's brave, and I'm going to order
my Italian on shibata with the oil, the vinegar, the
(26:57):
provolone and anna PEPs, the lettuce, the tomato that beats
the crap out of that famous start with, yes it does.
It was a delicious sandwich. I eat every last morsel
of it, and I felt pretty good about not acquiescing
to a barking Karen.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
I mean, going into that Whole Foods and taking on
the sandwich witch is really kind of the equivalent of
like going into Cuba and taking on castro.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
That's exactly.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
It is amazing, Matt, you are a man of rat.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
As soon as she started chirping, I was like, Oh,
I know who this is. I know who this is.
They need a better system over there, maybe like one
of those pull tabs or you have a number. Well
they have them, but there's no tags in them.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Only the Witch knows how they line up. Yeah, she
knows the ancient secret. Oh, I was behind the pillar
here at the end of the salad bar.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
That's that was going on.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Delicious sandwich, though well done over their whole foods. Do
I like that it's twelve ninety nine, No, I don't.
I think it's a little aggressive. Yeah, well the famous
star of Combos twelve ninety right, you get that.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I get and bro this.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I just get a fancy sandwich and the witch and
the witch telling me I cut in front of her
because I don't know how they line up.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
We'll be right back with a flip top story, a
little bit of an East Coast baseball perspective, perhaps from
a West Coast type.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
Still to come. We've got a fun fact. I believe
it could be a Vietnam Christmas fun fact which I'd marry.
Matt had a helmet that said born to Die written
on it.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Earlier.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
It was just like, oh, I God, They're like, you
mean kill. I was like, no, I'm born to die.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I felt it coming.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I'm a dead man.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
He had some cigarettes rolled up in a T shirt.
So we got that going on.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
And we have your dead and a live Guy Dodger
Talk with David Messe coming up at seven Winter Meeting Style,
So do not miss that, and don't forget to follow
us on all of the platforms, Twitter and X and Instagram,
and don't forget to podcast the show on the iHeartRadio
app for your smartphone.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
All right, Matt, the FlipTop story of the day, I
will look you out. This is the flip top story
of the day.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
You know, I don't often do this, but I saw
all kind of nobody. Well, no, everybody does this, but
I don't often do this. All some sad New York music.
I think, you, Matt, there's a real they're going postal. No, no,
(30:34):
they're they're going absolutely postal out there on the East
Coast in New York. Those mailboxhead New Yorkers are losing
their minds over the one Soto situation. And yeah to us,
with our car chases and our fires and our World
(30:56):
Series trophy hoisted over our head, it seems a million
miles away, a million miles away.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Que up the plimsels.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Now.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
I saw a thing on one of the four letterhead
babble shows, and the lower third is you like to
call it because that's what it's called, said, because that
is what it's called. It's said, bigger deal, Mets get
Sodo or link Yankees losing him?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Oh question mark. Oh that's a good one, right.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
And they're like sitting there arguing their heads off. Jeff
Saturday and a vest talking about it. H the little
guy from NYPD Blue is having a conniption fit on
social media.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Here's a deal.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Everybody talks about my I'm completely comforted to Turo, who
I am as a man bro That's that's that's Saturday.
Nick Traturo's the one having a fit on social media.
I mean he's even talking about the Max Freed signings,
like riding it into a whole social media. Yankee ran
(32:04):
second career and the Freed signing was so unbelievable. We
had to ask Dave about it yesterday twice.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Yes, we did exactly right.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
The point, Matt is, the East Coast is a flame.
John Hayman got emotional, very upset at wf AN last Friday.
What Kirk believer and then they guy's like, oh, somebody's
gonna put Joe.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
To bed this Friday. We're having a good tight hut.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Kirk believer.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
He couldn't believe it. John Hayman was so upset. People
in New York are upset.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Massay at a Rye exchange with Stonehenge Face, Scott Borris
and an elevator all over this fifteen years, seven hundred
and sixty five million dollar deal Soto did with the
Mets Losa as opposed to the Yankees offer sixteen years,
seven hundred and sixty million dollar deals with no deferral
(33:11):
and third base. As you mentioned, Matt and Nas and
all the Queen's types, very happy.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Man mc search is so stoked. Searches cat freaking out.
Catatonic would join he is freaking out and people are
burning jerseys in the street.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I don't do that.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
And for us West Coast types that have zero skin
at the Atlantic Coast game, never hat. I mean, I
mean a guy like me never had any skin in
any game other than the West Coast game. And then
the sports feelings of the West Coast, and I don't
understand maybe sometimes the East Coast mentality, the thuggish night
(33:53):
time radio hosts that make John Aymon cry out at
the lonely harbor lights of Battery Park.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
I don't know understand that. Man, I'm just a caveman.
And I thought, what would be the equivalent.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Of that for us in LA I mean, he can't
have anything to do with Lebron because most people.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Want him gone, so Lebron left present day.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
I mean, it would be we'd be showy going back,
yeah to the Angels or the Padres or the Giants.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
It would have been Kobe going to the clippers of
Mike Dunley that when that happened, that would have been it,
and people would have been upset. I mean it would
have been Hayman working out here at the time, would
have called into a radio show and been.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Like, I.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Mean, would Brad Page.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Let's say, O Todi left a baseball equivalent O Toanni
goes back to the Angels.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
He's got the key man clause, so freaking retires. He
becomes an immediate free agent and he goes back to
the angel Friedman goes to become the ambassador to France
or something. That's a plumb gig right there, right it's
Ben Franklin talk about the horse. I mean, of all
the ambassadorships, that's the one with the Horsani goes back
to the Angels or the Padres or the Giants.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Would Brad Paisley, like Traturo make angry videos like that.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Guy, I'm Nick Touturo.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Would we make Would you and I make John Hayman
hang up on us out of Sheerness and make him
renounce on air? Would that happen? Would there be jersey burning?
Would people burn their three hundred and fifty dollars O
Tawny City connect fun fetti jerseys.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Maybe things growing on me?
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Well, then they certainly wouldn't burn it.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Man, I can't was playing earlier today on the rewind
and I was like, you know, they're not that bad?
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Is it? Maybe because they want a title? It could
be yeah, And maybe because it's because if they didn't
win a title, it would stink of fail fun fetti failure,
what it would?
Speaker 1 (35:57):
I think it's also because the Clippers are so stupid looking.
It looks like a potato chip bag and the Lakers
always suck with their alternates.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Oh this is Lake Show, Yeah, Lake Show. And I'm like,
you know what, not that bad?
Speaker 3 (36:12):
If Otani left and went back to the Angels, I
don't know if people would be burning the jersey.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
No, it's hard to imagine.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
But that is what's happening on the East Coast post
Office with the mailbox heads right now.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
I can't believe he did it.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
And the best part, and these stories have been circulating
for a couple of days. According to Hayman and the
New York Post, not the post office mailbox heads, but
the New York Post itself. The Mets offered Soto and
his family a suite at City field, while the Yankees
would not budge and only offered him a discount. That's right,
(36:48):
And we know where Otani's suite is.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Don't we?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Yes, we do, right. It was eminent domain on a
five seventy las.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
We got sent on the one to eighteen east to
the silmar of sweets away over there on the first
base line.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Yes, wait a minute, this is our sweet. No, it's
not eminent domain. Otani wants it.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
You guys are where are we? Away over there on
gravity Hill? I mean we used to be right here
in the center of things. The guys were an air
supply stand casting. Everybody used to come around. Yeah, you
know you guys are on.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Now you ain't actually a bunch of Padre fans. Grab
my goose fat chick standing next to us. So we
know a little something about that.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Yea Soda wanted a sweet like Otani got a sweet,
and the Yankees only offered him. Don McClain ucla twenty
five percent off discount.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I think they said to him, So did Judge, And
we didn't budge, And that's why it's a nodo for Sodo.
The Yankees.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Wind Nke's wind Hayman also reported an incident with an
overzealous security guard to.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
Him aside and ask him. It was one little issue
with the Yankees where a security guide booted either his
mother or his father in some area, and there were
some negative feelings at that moment. Now, this I think
is back in April or May, and the same guy
did it to his driver and chef. The chef had
a way and driver had away out in the rain.
(38:25):
And I mean, Sodo is a family guy. He was
not too happy at the time.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Now they apparently apologized for the mistreatment of the family,
the chef and the Drivermila shades of Manny Ramirez choking
that elderly Red Sox travel secretary to the ground and chef.
All that stuff is going on while we just have
(38:50):
our eyes half closed and stoned out here in La.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
That a funfetti style. I'll know you there's funfetti. I
love this uniform so very interesting it was.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
I was trying to think of what the equivalent would be,
but uh, it's hard to imagine anybody doing that here.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Going back to the Angels, you know what I think
it would be like if Drew Dowdy signed with the Ducks.
Can you imagine can you imagine what this town would do.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
I don't think it's similar at all. I think it
would be less. I think nobody would even blink it on.
I don't think that's fair at all. That's not even
a good comparison.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
You're a phony. Ask Nick to Turo Caulter, Turo up
his mother and everybody. Did you see what jazz did
in that game? Yeah, Jazz were go Jazz. That's right,
Jazz lit it up. Jazz, Chisolm. We'll be right back
with more great sports talk. We have a whole other hour.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Purchase in store only. And now it's time for the
top story of the day, Top Story of itou enough
of these distractions around these parts. You look at our logo,
it says AM five to seventy LA sports And what
does that la look like?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
The Dodger logo.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
That's right, no matter what season, is not even a
fake gas station Dodger logo, the real one real. Lon
Rosen said, we could use.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It, trade mark approved.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Barzini said, I could have my casino. Can't do a deal.
That's what we got. Timing is everything. We have talked
about it with the Dodgers time and time again. We
have talked about the advantage they have financially because of
the Guggenheim partners being in charge, the financial vehicles that
(04:23):
they have installed to help them facilitate roster construction, maximize
the potential of the players they are able to acquire.
Dave Asset touched on this yesterday and I felt like
it was worth building on, and he joined us last hour.
By the way, as well as the winter meetings wrapped
the fact and this goes back to the timing. I'm
(04:43):
sure you'll build on something he said today tomorrow. The
fact that the Dodgers were able to land snow Zilla
Blake Snell when they did, instead of sitting waiting wishing
(05:04):
to see how the market played out, hoping and praying,
landed them a two time cy Young winner for less
guaranteed money than Max Freed it's a very good player,
hell of a pitcher, but he's not.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Blake Snell.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
And his other teams are now scrambling trading prospects. The
Boston Red Sox moved their first round pick, a top
fifteen pick from twenty twenty three and a guy that's
ranked right around thirty five thirty eight on most publications
at top one hundred prospects, along with their number one
pick just six months ago for Garrett Crochet signing Max
(05:44):
freed For looks to be about fifty million more than
the MLB trade rumor projection, and everybody knows.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
The MLB trade rumor projections are typically spent on.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I didn't believe it the first time I heard it.
That's what you should be paying. Well, what did you
say on MLB trade rumors? Said like one to sixty
and they paid them what to eighteen holes? Snap, That
is a premium. The Dodgers have been ahead of the
curve for the last decade, and I am happy, and
(06:13):
I think we are happy. You sound happy, and I
believe they are happy that they can puff their chests
out finally and show off what Joe Madden told us
a mere I don't know five years ago. Was the
greatest asset of Andrew Friedman.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
He's a scout.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That's the thing about Andrew. Nobody sees, identifies, and acquires
talent better than Andrew Friedman. For all the other things
you want to shower upon him.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
It's hard to argue those points after the way this
World Series played.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Out, right, because if they hadn't won the World Series,
everybody would be fired. We wouldn't be doing this, I
can tell you that we'd be talking about not were
Dave Roberts.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Wouldn't be an OKI now and doing a victory lane light,
wouldn't be talking to the scouts.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
That's the highlight of his off season, of all the
things he got to do usc UCLA game, spinning the
Charger siren parades Okie Nawa was the crown jewel of
his Rubber Chicken off season circuit. But none of it
would have happened had they not won the World Series.
(07:29):
We would not be talking about how the Dodgers were
ahead of the curve. As crazy as it may sound
considering some of the previous top stories in this particular space,
Dodgers ahead of the curve, not worrying about picture injuries,
but accepting them, embracing them, and recognizing there's no way
(07:49):
around him. You can't play scared in the free agent
market when it comes to pitchers or russe, you'll never
sign anybody. And that's how ahead of the curve, how
important the bullpen, how important the bullpen is, the attrition
experienced in the bullpen, and making sure you take a
(08:11):
shotgun approach and you sign all these dudes the minor
league deals, and you coach them up and you'll wait
for him to pop. Peterson, Vessia, Morrow, no name dudes
signing minor league deals that end up contributing at some
point throughout the year because attrition, sooner or later is
(08:31):
going to take hold.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Depth is king.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
The Dodgers have it in spades. But let's start with
Snow thrown over one hundred and eighty innings twice in
his career. Each of those seasons he won the Cy
Young following season, he missed some time because it was
a heavier workload compared to his one hundred and thirty
one hundred and twenty seven hundred thirty innings that he
looks to be comfortable with. So last season the Giants
(08:57):
had to wear it. It's busted up a little bit
coming off that one hundred eighty innings San Diego padre
Cy Young season, missed all of spring training waiting to
sign a contract, missed most of the month of June
only through one hundred and four innings, which means you
should be in great shape for these Dodgers. The thing
with Snow is he's a notoriously so slow starter year
in and year out. Look at last year. Twelve ERA
(09:19):
in April, nine ERA in May, six, e RA in June,
five starts in July point seven, five ERA, one point
zero four in August, and a one point zero zero
in September.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
That's what you're looking for. That's that is right, the trajectory.
I'm no seamhead like you. I can't show off my
seams just by putting my head down toward the camera. Personally, personally,
I can't do that. But Matt, you're showing your seams.
But I know that that kind of trajectory toward the postseason,
(09:55):
that's what you're looking for.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
That's what we do here, got Weather.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
There are Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I throw twelve different starters over the course of the
regular season.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
They don't need him. In April don't need him in
may need him in October. And in his career he's
thrown fifty post season innings with a three to three
three ERA. That's like half of what Kershaw got. Max
Freed made one start in the playoffs last year, two innings,
five runs, an ERA of twenty two point five. His
(10:29):
postseason career ERA in twelve starts with his two and
five record, His one point five whip is five point
one zero. And yet somehow he notched thirty million more
(10:53):
dollars than Blake Snell because the Yankees are in panic mode.
Rodgers locked up Blake trining and these guys are freaking
out over next right before the reliever market caught fire,
they locked up Blake trying it two years, twenty two
(11:14):
million dollars. You would be hard pressed to find three
relievers you would rather have on the mound in the
ninth inning in a playoff game with the game and
the balance than Blake trying it, And they got him
an eleven million per season that would not even have
made the top ten highest paid relievers in baseball last
year top fifteen. Would you rather send trying it out
(11:38):
there or Josh Hater who made nineteen million bucks and
was a freaking circus put a tenth on them in
the playoffs. I guess it sort of depends on when
you know the guy was pitching circus. I mean, I
don't want to, you know, I mean I I let
me just answer it like you want me to. I
(11:58):
want trying it out there. That's exactly right. Kenley Jansen
made sixteen million dollars last year. Sixteen million Kenley Jansen.
Craig Kimberrel made twelve million dollars last year, and the Dodgers,
(12:20):
accounting for inflation, which is a mother effort these days,
got tried in for a million less than Craig Kimberl
last year.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Who was what.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
A circus out there on the mout And that guy
made twelve million bucks last year, and the Dodgers like, yeah,
how about eleven? You got it man, eleven eleven million bucks.
They take advantage of their great situation, their great clubhouse atmosphere,
the ability to promise a legitimate shot at the World Series,
and a massive wallet that'd take tuck into their deep pockets,
(12:52):
and we should all be incredibly thankful for all that
they deliver to this community as stewards of the most
popular sports franchise in all the land. They have really
outpaced the Lakers in town. I wonder why Larantas Larondas And.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
That's just this year.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I mean, think about the foresight that Andrew Friedman had
been locking up Mookie Bets twelve years, three hundred and
sixty five million dollars for Mookie Bets when he was
twenty eight years old. Won so do at twenty six
fifteen for seven fifty Oh.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
It feels like they feels like they've everything that everybody
does deferring money signing a player like that for a
deal like that, it feels like the Dodgers did it first.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Mookie Bets, who can play right field at a gold
Glove level, second base a gold Glove level. He's not
that great at shortstop, but that's where he's gonna. Listen,
She's gonna have a whole off season. That's all right.
Gavin Lux isn't showing up to Arizona in February with
the freaking yips, and now Mookie's pressed into action. He's
(14:14):
gonna have the whole off season. And I'm sure you've
heard Kate's is out there hitting him fungos every day.
He's taking it seriously. Wood fungos no less spanked it. Eh,
they take advantage. Freddie Freeman six years, one hundred and
sixty two million. Sure he was thirty one when he
(14:36):
signed it, But six years, one hundred and sixty two
million for a guy that has one of the most
iconic swings and hits in the history of the World Series.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
And you're gonna give one Sodo and his pockmarked face, jeez,
fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Seven hundred fifty million dollars. Look our teams leaving the
Winter meetings right now as we speak, wheels up after
Adele friscoes double pack, your col and Ribi all pissed off,
all super sad, wondering what the hell happened. And even
(15:19):
though the only move the Dodgers made while in Dallas
was re signing Blake Trining and Michael Conforto, feels like
both of those moves can end up going a long
way about ten months from now, when some other guys
might have a little bit of buyer's remorse because all
they're doing is playing catchup, and.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
We got the mustard.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Dave Roberts isn't the only one doing a Dodger's victory
lap Ladies It gentleman, that's exactly right. Matt Smith will
be signing cards at the Burbank Sports Cards a Memorabellia
Shop Saturday between one and four. Very exciting time for
the Dodgers because with the trophy in the case, it
(16:08):
really feels like the Dodger fans out around town are
playing with house money.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
And we'll return with more great sports talk. Your word

or something of that.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
All Right, it's time for the word of the day.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
His words, the word of the day.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
What are the headline?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
What should the headline be?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Today?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Sports? That's all we think about. Here's the other story
nobody's talking about.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
You know, I'm not a racist, he's a bad headline,
what are the headlines? Well, Matt, I know that you
missed this segment and you just love it. We are
only two days away from my screening of Holiday Touchdown
Let's Go Chiefs, which I'm going to be on top
(18:35):
of once it airs on my Cox cable, so I'm
looking forward to that. But there is some more Chiefs
other than their great performance on Sunday night against the Chargers.
There is a little bit more Chiefs news. You're familiar
with Caitlin Clark, the basketball player, an.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Iowan refresh my memory? Who is she?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
She's quite a quite a feed on okay, w NBA star.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Let me look it up, see if I can jog
my memory here.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
She's recently acknowledged her white privilege. But that's not this story.
This is in the latest episode of Time Magazine, Matt
as Caitlan Clark was recognized as Times Athlete of the Year,
just edging out Gus Edwards.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Everybody else. Everybody else was on the Gus bus. But
it's a tight vote.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
It was gent and Travis Hunter like, but it just
didn't work out for Edwards. But Times Athlete of the
Year Caitlin Clark revealed that last month she attended back
to back double up Taylor Swift concerts at Local Soil
(19:50):
Stadium in beautiful Indianapolis, Naptown, I see Indiana last month.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I could see that she watched the tour in a
private suite. She got to meet Travis Kelcey and Andrea Swift.
Taylor Swift's mother was a real cow. Did she get
to meet Donna kelce though did not.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Say that she went to two of the three shows.
And Taylor Swift, who's twelve years Caitlyn Clark senior but
maybe seventeen years less mature, gifted her four bags of
Era's tour merch with a personalized note about how inspiring
(20:36):
Caitlin Clark was.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Oh, that's a nice touch.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
How about that? You know what they say that is
p game recognize game. I believe that's they call that right,
game recognized games. That's right, That is what they say.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
That's game recognized game. Right there.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
And Taylor Swift said she was excited to attend a
Fever game, and she even allegedly invited Caitlin Clark to
attend Kansas City Chiefs game to watch Travis Kelcey catch
his hank route and fall forward for eight yards.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I can. I want to do that dumb ass game.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You know, it's really hard, Matt, It's really hard to
find stories that aren't going to offend you. It's hard.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Clark was seen dancing at the concert, singing and just
like the Prime Minister of Canada while Montreal was burning,
exchanging friendship bracelets with fellow fans. Hey you want a bracelet? A,
she told Time magazine. People are just going crazy that
I'm here. I thought people would be so in their
(21:42):
own world ready to see Taylor, and it was just
completely the opposite.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
They're here to see me.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
They're here to see me.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Caylen Clark, I'm a long face and look at a.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Hey what it's not.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I'm a horse Monday man, I've shared anyway, that's the headline.
Caitlin Clark at the Big Taylor Swiss Show. Did not
want you to miss that headline.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I know how much you enjoy the head I do
enjoy the headlines.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
And that's the headline.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
What are the headlines?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
That's it? I hope you're not a racist?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
What should the headline be?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Today?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Sports? That's all we think about. Here's the other story
nobody's talking about.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
You know, I'm not a racist.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I mean, I hope you do.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
He's a bad headline. What are the headlines? And now
it's time with the number of the day.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
He's a number number of the day.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
You know, I'm not a racist at least I hope
you do. I hope your number of the day is three.
I wrapped up my week after surgery. I appointment with
doctor Marafi a little bit early and went to get
some lunch before I made my way over here to
the AM five to seven LA Sports Studios and in
an effort to try to eat a little bit more
(22:51):
healthy than maybe I am apt to when placed in
that situation, like a nice brisket burrito that gives me
the bubble guts, or a Carl's You and your famous
Star combo which had nothing at all. I just decided,
on this particular occasion, I was going to get over
to the Whole Foods and get a nice, you know,
maybe salad.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Did you see the sandwich?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Did you run into the sandwich witch?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I ran into your sandwich witch?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
You did?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I did? Your sandwich? Witch was hovering?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Was she in front of you or behind you?
Speaker 2 (23:26):
She was behind me?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Oh, and she wanted a comment on your sandwich, didn't
she Well, not only was she behind You're gonna Oh,
you're gonna love this. Not only was she behind me,
she alleged that I cut her off and that I
took her place in line, which is impossible since I
(23:50):
had no idea she was theirs till she started chirping.
And that's when I recognized, Oh, this must be the
sandwich witch.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Oh dugout chirping from the sandwich witch. She's like, oh,
she's not just ordering one sandwich like a healthy Matt Smith,
the voice of the bolt right, the sandwich Witch is
ordering like for the whole office.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
She she goes, oh, did you not see me? That
was the first thing she said. I turned around and
I was like, I'm sorry, did I not see you?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
What She's like, Well, I was. I was in line,
and I said, well.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I don't think you were. I walked up right down
the aisle where you're standing, and you weren't there. And
I just walked behind this gentleman here that's getting his
turkey bacon avocado, and I stood right here and this
is the first I've seen of you. Oh no, I
was here. I was behind this pillar right here at
the end of the South bar. I said, wow, I said, well,
(24:45):
I don't mean to be rude, but she claims she
claims a lot of tenure.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yes, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yes, she goes, well, that's and that's how I knew
she was the sandwich. Witch said, yes, I usually stand
here when I come to order the sandwich because I
lean again. It's exactly I lean again the pillar, and
it's very comfortable because the sandwich, you know, takes a
little while to mess like okay sandwich, which has a
lot of explain explain. Yes. I then said, well, I
don't mean to be rude. If I felt like I
(25:14):
cut in front of you, I certainly would give you
my place in line. And I did not remember what
you just said that she orders a bunch of sandwiches,
which would have driven me insane had she insisted she
jump in front of me. I let her, and then
she orders like ten sandwiches. I said, however, I really
don't feel like I cut in front of you. I
feel like I was attentive and looked around and there
was no one behind me. And to be honest, I
have to get across the street to work. I have
(25:35):
a deadline and I said, I really, I'm sorry, And
to her credit, she was polite after I said that. Yes,
after that, she's like, and I guess it was a
little condescending. She was or was a little bit of
a little aggressive, little passive aggressive. Well, I guess I
(25:55):
understand if you don't know how the line lines up,
then that's fine.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Totally. She's like, guy, totally understand.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
You don't know how it lines I'm sorry that I offended.
I'm sorry that you might be offended. And instead of
and of course, it takes it takes a while for
the sandwich to be made.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
It's very fan while the sandwich, which mouth breeze on
your neck, yes, and as he's getting your comment on
your sandwich, like, oh, I would do sprouts.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
She did not.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I think, well, I think she was upset. So as
I watched the sandwich artist, people at the bacon avocado
they don't like the sandwich, which they want to see
what happened happened?
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I got that sense.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, I got that sense because the woman who was
making the turkey bacon avocado for the gentleman in front
of me was looking at me and you know how
you open your eyes like yep, here we are. Yep.
She gave me kind of one of those, and that's
what led me to say, no, I'm I'm not going
to give up my place in line. I'm going to
stand right here. That's brave, and I'm going to order
my Italian on shibata with the oil, the vinegar, the
(26:57):
provolone and anna PEPs, the lettuce, the tomato that beats
the crap out of that famous start with, yes it does.
It was a delicious sandwich. I eat every last morsel
of it, and I felt pretty good about not acquiescing
to a barking Karen.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
I mean, going into that Whole Foods and taking on
the sandwich witch is really kind of the equivalent of
like going into Cuba and taking on castro.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
That's exactly.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
It is amazing, Matt, you are a man of rat.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
As soon as she started chirping, I was like, Oh,
I know who this is. I know who this is.
They need a better system over there, maybe like one
of those pull tabs or you have a number. Well
they have them, but there's no tags in them.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Only the Witch knows how they line up. Yeah, she
knows the ancient secret. Oh, I was behind the pillar
here at the end of the salad bar.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
That's that was going on.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Delicious sandwich, though well done over their whole foods. Do
I like that it's twelve ninety nine, No, I don't.
I think it's a little aggressive. Yeah, well the famous
star of Combos twelve ninety right, you get that.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I get and bro this.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I just get a fancy sandwich and the witch and
the witch telling me I cut in front of her
because I don't know how they line up.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
We'll be right back with a flip top story, a
little bit of an East Coast baseball perspective, perhaps from
a West Coast type.
Speaker 1 (28:18):

Speaker 3 (29:20):
Still to come. We've got a fun fact. I believe
it could be a Vietnam Christmas fun fact which I'd marry.
Matt had a helmet that said born to Die written
on it.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Earlier.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
It was just like, oh, I God, They're like, you
mean kill. I was like, no, I'm born to die.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I felt it coming.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I'm a dead man.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
He had some cigarettes rolled up in a T shirt.
So we got that going on.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
All right, Matt, the FlipTop story of the day, I
will look you out. This is the flip top story
of the day.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
You know, I don't often do this, but I saw
all kind of nobody. Well, no, everybody does this, but
I don't often do this. All some sad New York music.
I think, you, Matt, there's a real they're going postal. No, no,
(30:34):
they're they're going absolutely postal out there on the East
Coast in New York. Those mailboxhead New Yorkers are losing
their minds over the one Soto situation. And yeah to us,
with our car chases and our fires and our World
(30:56):
Series trophy hoisted over our head, it seems a million
miles away, a million miles away.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Que up the plimsels.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Now.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
I saw a thing on one of the four letterhead
babble shows, and the lower third is you like to
call it because that's what it's called, said, because that
is what it's called. It's said, bigger deal, Mets get
Sodo or link Yankees losing him?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Oh question mark. Oh that's a good one, right.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
And they're like sitting there arguing their heads off. Jeff
Saturday and a vest talking about it. H the little
guy from NYPD Blue is having a conniption fit on
social media.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Here's a deal.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Everybody talks about my I'm completely comforted to Turo, who
I am as a man bro That's that's that's Saturday.
Nick Traturo's the one having a fit on social media.
I mean he's even talking about the Max Freed signings,
like riding it into a whole social media. Yankee ran
(32:04):
second career and the Freed signing was so unbelievable. We
had to ask Dave about it yesterday twice.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Yes, we did exactly right.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
The point, Matt is, the East Coast is a flame.
John Hayman got emotional, very upset at wf AN last Friday.
What Kirk believer and then they guy's like, oh, somebody's
gonna put Joe.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
To bed this Friday. We're having a good tight hut.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Kirk believer.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
He couldn't believe it. John Hayman was so upset. People
in New York are upset.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Massay at a Rye exchange with Stonehenge Face, Scott Borris
and an elevator all over this fifteen years, seven hundred
and sixty five million dollar deal Soto did with the
Mets Losa as opposed to the Yankees offer sixteen years,
seven hundred and sixty million dollar deals with no deferral
(33:11):
and third base. As you mentioned, Matt and Nas and
all the Queen's types, very happy.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Man mc search is so stoked. Searches cat freaking out.
Catatonic would join he is freaking out and people are
burning jerseys in the street.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I don't do that.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
And for us West Coast types that have zero skin
at the Atlantic Coast game, never hat. I mean, I
mean a guy like me never had any skin in
any game other than the West Coast game. And then
the sports feelings of the West Coast, and I don't
understand maybe sometimes the East Coast mentality, the thuggish night
(33:53):
time radio hosts that make John Aymon cry out at
the lonely harbor lights of Battery Park.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
I don't know understand that. Man, I'm just a caveman.
And I thought, what would be the equivalent.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Of that for us in LA I mean, he can't
have anything to do with Lebron because most people.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Want him gone, so Lebron left present day.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
I mean, it would be we'd be showy going back,
yeah to the Angels or the Padres or the Giants.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
It would have been Kobe going to the clippers of
Mike Dunley that when that happened, that would have been it,
and people would have been upset. I mean it would
have been Hayman working out here at the time, would
have called into a radio show and been.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Like, I.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Mean, would Brad Page.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Let's say, O Todi left a baseball equivalent O Toanni
goes back to the Angels.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
He's got the key man clause, so freaking retires. He
becomes an immediate free agent and he goes back to
the angel Friedman goes to become the ambassador to France
or something. That's a plumb gig right there, right it's
Ben Franklin talk about the horse. I mean, of all
the ambassadorships, that's the one with the Horsani goes back
to the Angels or the Padres or the Giants.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Would Brad Paisley, like Traturo make angry videos like that.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Guy, I'm Nick Touturo.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Would we make Would you and I make John Hayman
hang up on us out of Sheerness and make him
renounce on air? Would that happen? Would there be jersey burning?
Would people burn their three hundred and fifty dollars O
Tawny City connect fun fetti jerseys.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Maybe things growing on me?
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Well, then they certainly wouldn't burn it.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Man, I can't was playing earlier today on the rewind
and I was like, you know, they're not that bad?
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Is it? Maybe because they want a title? It could
be yeah, And maybe because it's because if they didn't
win a title, it would stink of fail fun fetti failure,
what it would?
Speaker 1 (35:57):
I think it's also because the Clippers are so stupid looking.
It looks like a potato chip bag and the Lakers
always suck with their alternates.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Oh this is Lake Show, Yeah, Lake Show. And I'm like,
you know what, not that bad?
Speaker 3 (36:12):
If Otani left and went back to the Angels, I
don't know if people would be burning the jersey.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
No, it's hard to imagine.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
But that is what's happening on the East Coast post
Office with the mailbox heads right now.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
I can't believe he did it.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
And the best part, and these stories have been circulating
for a couple of days. According to Hayman and the
New York Post, not the post office mailbox heads, but
the New York Post itself. The Mets offered Soto and
his family a suite at City field, while the Yankees
would not budge and only offered him a discount. That's right,
(36:48):
And we know where Otani's suite is.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Don't we?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Yes, we do, right. It was eminent domain on a
five seventy las.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
We got sent on the one to eighteen east to
the silmar of sweets away over there on the first
base line.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Yes, wait a minute, this is our sweet. No, it's
not eminent domain. Otani wants it.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
You guys are where are we? Away over there on
gravity Hill? I mean we used to be right here
in the center of things. The guys were an air
supply stand casting. Everybody used to come around. Yeah, you
know you guys are on.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Now you ain't actually a bunch of Padre fans. Grab
my goose fat chick standing next to us. So we
know a little something about that.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Yea Soda wanted a sweet like Otani got a sweet,
and the Yankees only offered him. Don McClain ucla twenty
five percent off discount.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I think they said to him, So did Judge, And
we didn't budge, And that's why it's a nodo for Sodo.
The Yankees.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Wind Nke's wind Hayman also reported an incident with an
overzealous security guard to.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
Him aside and ask him. It was one little issue
with the Yankees where a security guide booted either his
mother or his father in some area, and there were
some negative feelings at that moment. Now, this I think
is back in April or May, and the same guy
did it to his driver and chef. The chef had
a way and driver had away out in the rain.
(38:25):
And I mean, Sodo is a family guy. He was
not too happy at the time.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Now they apparently apologized for the mistreatment of the family,
the chef and the Drivermila shades of Manny Ramirez choking
that elderly Red Sox travel secretary to the ground and chef.
All that stuff is going on while we just have
(38:50):
our eyes half closed and stoned out here in La.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
That a funfetti style. I'll know you there's funfetti. I
love this uniform so very interesting it was.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
I was trying to think of what the equivalent would be,
but uh, it's hard to imagine anybody doing that here.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Going back to the Angels, you know what I think
it would be like if Drew Dowdy signed with the Ducks.
Can you imagine can you imagine what this town would do.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
I don't think it's similar at all. I think it
would be less. I think nobody would even blink it on.
I don't think that's fair at all. That's not even
a good comparison.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
You're a phony. Ask Nick to Turo Caulter, Turo up
his mother and everybody. Did you see what jazz did
in that game? Yeah, Jazz were go Jazz. That's right,
Jazz lit it up. Jazz, Chisolm. We'll be right back
with more great sports talk. We have a whole other hour.
(39:54):
Stick with us on this. We just won't make it.
We will not be defeated.
