Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, Brena sil flex Frank and had and he had
to do a full three hours.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Wow wow, Yeah. But I did get a text that
said Fred went some own Biles said fifty four just
dove dove off the platform.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
We just happened fifty three forty five.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
But anyway, yeah, we keep the ball.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
I am well off.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
We've got a full show tomorrow. I have enough money.
Give us a call up. You have enough money to
eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy. We're
the well healed of great sports talk. So you see
you late at night. They're up to number eighteen. Matt.
I know you paid close attention to the Clippers last night.
We're got another Clipper game coming up on Thursday, and uh,

(02:33):
there's a lot of action Thursday. To be honest, Matt,
you will be with the Chargers. It's so far against
the Denver Bronchitos kick off at five point fifteen on
All ninety eight seven. We do have a pair of
tickets to give away to the game. Matt wants to
push it deep, deep, deep.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
No, I'm just happy, Yeah, I'm happy there in the
heart of darkness. I'm happy that we don't have a
you know, one to three point thirty show or something
like that today when we have a valuable come out
of like tickets to Chargers Broncos fleck the first ever
flexed game into Thursday night football, so much historic stake.
The Chargers win, they sweep the Broncos, they move up

(03:10):
a slot into the sixth hole. The Broncos slide back
to the seven. Feels like the AFC is wide open
this season. Any team of the seven that punch their
ticket into the tournament. You could see perhaps going on
a little bit of a run, and we will get
you into the house at Sofi Stadium. Keep listening between
now and the end of the show at six for
your opportunity, and we won't you know us, We never

(03:31):
string it out until the end like Fred does. Will
We may give it away this hour, we may give
it away next hour, but we will.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Can't get it the way of Fred not getting out early.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Though that's fair. We're gonna bust a break, watch right this.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
So Fred's gonna get out early. Thursday. There's also a
Clipper game pregame at four thirty, tip off at five
thirty on AMPI seventy, and that brings us to the
show in West Covina Thursday. It is the final remote
of the year and we are not diving off the
platform like Simone Biles. We will come and see you
one time in December more, one day more, and then

(04:12):
we might have one or two in January, and then
who knows, we're under new leadership. Tim Kats gets his way,
they might just cancel the summer tour, Matt.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
That's what I've heard fingers Cross, just.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Like they canceled the Van's Warped Tour. Steve Van Dorn
went on all the last Warped Tour shows and enjoyed it,
and they said, made some shoes for it, and they said,
that's it. We're done now.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
It's just called the Blorped Tour. Toby, the Warped Tour
is over, but the Blorp Tour, anchored by my chemical
romance and saves the day.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Thursday, it'll be the final final of twenty twenty four
live at BJ's in West Covina from two to fourth
thirty before Clipper basketball. We've got prizes, Clipper tickets, UCLA
hoops tickets. Hard to get into that poly pavilion these days,
same with Clippers. There's a line just to pay for parking.

(05:15):
BJ's gift cards, which are desirable. A brand new lamp
which is new but not it's what it's a long
time ago.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yeah, it's what they call in the skateboard world. Is
nos new old stock. It's old stock. It's no longer
being manufactured, but it is brand new, and that's what
we're giving you.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Should I put it together? Should I leave it in
the box. I'll be honest with you. It's easier to
transport put together.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
I think you put it together, Kates, because I think
it you love putting it together. Yeah, you love putting
it together. And it's a great look next to the table.
People see what they're going to win, not some weird
giant cardboard box that they have no idea. What it
could be anything. It could be a bowling all you
know what I mean? Like, I think you put it
together and set it right next to the table at
the broadcast, and that's what someone is watching.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
Light bulbs included too.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
By the way, you don't bowling alley.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
It could be anything. It could be a bowling alley.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Daylingly remember this holiday season, relocks with family without the
stress of cook and let BJS work for you and
the brew House have a beer with locations throughout La
and Orange County. BJAYS is the home of award winning
handcrafted beers, signature Deep Dish pizza, and who can forget

(06:31):
the world famous Pizookie dessert. I'm sorry, what's so funny, Matt.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
It's just that it's one of my favorite lines. It's
such a dumb line. I don't know who writes it.
Geane Shepherd obviously wrote it in a Christmas story when
he gets the leg land. He says, it could be anything.
It could be a bowling alley. You could She's like,
how are they gonna send you a bowling alley? It
could be a bowling alley.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
We will not have that to give away, although I'm
sure there's more West Covina bowling alleys than there are
closer to the city, as bowling alleys have suffered.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
I do have something to bring as well, unopened Raiders
wireless earbuds.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Do you have Raiders earbuds to give away? Yeah, that
feels like it was a gift from the Raiders that
franchised to broadcast.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, Christmas gift from four years ago.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Why don't you want it?

Speaker 4 (07:32):
I got Raiders earbuds to give away.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
But why don't you want the Raiders earbuds.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
Because I already got three pair?

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Nice, So we got Raiders earbuds. I'll go through some
T shirts and again Jay's gift cards.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
You put your when you put your earbuds in, and
they go.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
Oh boy, acted here we go.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Raiders.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
When they connect, they just go rights.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
I thought you were gonna say something about Derek Carla.
It says incomplete and stuff.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Oh, it's a great prize.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
No, he would complete it. He just throw it real short.
That was Matts. You have not enough airtime on that.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Ball, exactly right. Those only last about one minute and
then they're out of juice.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Got the lot saying connected It says check down.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Oh he broke his wrist. All right, let's be a
little sense.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
So you got that Brian his mess scare must have
run a whole bunch. He just did dingling. So that's
what we've got going on. It is the last week,
the last week of Great Sports Talk of twenty twenty four.
It's been a wild year. Obviously, we don't have Victor

(08:45):
yell at or anything like that. Somebody said that we
should do the launch pad one more time this year,
and I did. I do say asa that because after
every single show is second the show ends. Sometimes she
gives me like two minutes to collect myself. But the

(09:06):
second the show ends, like today at seven, Isabelle's gonna
call me on my phone, which is the secret Textoso line. Right,
She's gonna call and I have to say, Matt, not
that I'm a coal miner or anything anymore.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
But you're like a coal miner.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Well, you know, after the show and I'm a little
decompression time, you know, like like a scuba diver who's
for scuba need a little decompression time. And normally I
don't answer the phone, but you know, when you check
my phone, not a lot of people call me, so
it's usually just like and she leaves a message every time,
So it's just Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle,

(09:46):
Isabelle like it all the way down, sure, And so
what I often happens, you know, because you know, the
phone is the phone, and it's always bobbling around, and
my phone is huge, and I'm a hamdhnded giant, awkward
person with a I accidentally butt dialer from time to time.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Oh really, right, like all the time, because you hear
her screaming, well yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
And then I hang up, and then she calls back
a bunch of times, you know, and we talk, you know,
once a week or once every couple of weeks, Isabelle
and I do, but I don't answer the phone every
time because she calls right when the show's over, right,
And today I accidentally butt dialed her and she called back,
and I think she knows it's a butt dial, but
it I guess I'm just long story short. Do we

(10:33):
need to do the launch pad one time before Christmas?
And we can't put Vic on until, you know, he
gets all settled with his stuff. I don't think.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
I'd like to. I think I think. I think a launchpad.
I think the people would appreciate a launch pad is
what I'm getting that. Yes, I think that would go
over very well with Izzy.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Only well, can't we add past or somebody else?

Speaker 3 (11:01):
I'm picking up with Kate's is laying down here.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Elon Musk puts all these things up into space. He
doesn't launch two at a time. It was one at
a time.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Well, the original I'm picking up with Kates's laying down here.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
The original launch pad was like what was going on
over New Jersey? You know? Or is you know, like
all kinds of the air bumping into each other.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Ultra magnetic pulse and everyone's like, you know, you're all
gonna get cancer? Oh my god, that's what's going on there.
You don't want that to happen.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Kim trails right, Vic, Dave and.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Isabelle da one time and Dave got super mad.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yeah, Dave felt he felt that it was below him,
and maybe it was. I don't know. Dave's gonna join
us next, there's Cody Bellinger going to the Yankees. There
is uh the drag on TiO scar that everybody wants
to talk about. So that's something to say. But as
we've tried to navigate life on AM by seventy LA

(12:00):
Sports Post Victor brick Jacobs, you know, we've had a
lot to figure out. What is the launch pad, what
is two ed mono Tuesday? Going forward? What are these
things going to be? And we discussed yesterday Matt. If
you're a man in a South Pacific Asian village or
something and a giant yak picked you up and drove

(12:21):
you home every day and your last you know, four
hundred five hundred yards of your commute like Rogan and Rodney,
what are you going to do with that? With that
time the yak's not there to pick you up anymore.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, you don't have the endurance. You don't have the
leg strength to get the muscles in your legs an atrophy, Yeah,
completely atrophied.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
You got nothing.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
So it's why you're out at fifty three thirty.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
That is, you know, if we were brainstorm this before
we could find.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
They rely on a dead man Tupac to drive them
home the last thirty seconds of their show, a dead person,
somebody who's dead. Hasn't Tupac done enough?

Speaker 4 (12:58):
We could have done a college football play style like
listeners participate in a launching pad to see who ultimately
is the champion. They get to go on the.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Thing where they did the dream Job.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Remember that Who's Next? I talked to the dream no
that Who's next? Who's Next was the Uh, it's not
Who's next, it was who's now? Who's now?

Speaker 4 (13:18):
Dream Job?

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Now? Dream Job? I actually talked to that guy not
long ago, the guy that won season one of dream Job.
Is he still in the business. He has a job.
He works at the Big Big ten network.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Beautiful.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
I don't know if you call it a dream job.
He got to interview me though. That's pretty pretty good.
Brian Finley, we.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
Could have done a dream Job type of.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
That season that was season two. Man, what do you
mean dream job bracket? That's the dumbest idea I've ever
heard in my life.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
I have different listeners, twelve of them compete to see
who ultimately would be the.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Oh you know it would just be Manuel and Gardena
trying to do it. It would be annoying. We'd be
over it within a minute. Thirty. We can't replace VIC
on the launch pad. I'm just asking, what is the
launch pad without VIC insurance?

Speaker 4 (14:04):
It's anybody, It's nothing.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Buehler, I got you. I'm following him. I'm following you.
What do we do?

Speaker 3 (14:13):
We put on Isabelle.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
And asked Kates to contribute more.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
We could change the name. He just called the Easy
Show with a kind of a funnel intro. No, no,
like a family Guys family guy style, the intro like
the Easy Show something what?

Speaker 5 (14:33):
No?

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Okay, I mean I think it still has to have
some kind of aeronautic theme, don't you.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
The Chuck Jeger test pilot.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Nice? Thank you, Matt. Finally, yes, crack the gauge, exactly right.
It'll be interesting to think about what it is for
the future for twenty twenty five. It doesn't mean we

(15:05):
can't have Isabelle on. It doesn't mean we can't catch
up with Isabelle. But what will happen to the branding
that is the launch Pad? What will happen to the
branding that is two Aedemano Tuesday. All of those different things.
We'll see if any visions come to me in the
desert on one of my peyote trips, Matt, I want
to sleep with you in the desert tonight, or if

(15:27):
we have some kind of epiphany over the break. But
right now, can.

Speaker 4 (15:32):
We get away from Launching Pad because I still think
of Hartman and Chris Meyers and those guys like the
Launching prior, you know, first hour of their show.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Now, that's why we did it. We did it as
a joke, right right.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
Maybe it's trying to break off and you know, come
up with something new.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Come up with something new to talk to Isabelle. Oh yeah, look,
Rogan and Rodney are the ones that lost their Shirpa.
We we're fine, but we do need to figure out
what these things are going forward. And I don't like
your idea, Kates, of a dream job like Bracket to
see who becomes the next Launching Pad guy.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
About is these insights? She gives us her date.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
I don't think alliteration is going to do much. As
much as as I appreciate your contributions to sorting this
out case, I'm assuming.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
That yeah, maybe maybe maybe we shouldn't have done this
on the air. Maybe this maybe you're.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Writing a good prep zone.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
I'm sorry, I just I button dialed Isabelle and I
have heard from Isabelle and she writes, I do the
launching pad. No, I will read this verbatim. This was
today at three twelve, so six minutes ago. Isabelle texted
in I do the launch pad, and it was and
she put a picture of the rocket, the little emochi,

(16:51):
and then she wrote the next text, are you ready
for this one? Matt?

Speaker 3 (16:54):
I'm ready?

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Keep the launching pad understandable? So, I mean, Isabelle doesn't
want to be phased out like me on the sideline.
I can understand that. Here here's a text from the
three two three that says, these ideas from Kates are lame.
They need to stop. You're lame. Hey, don't call his

(17:16):
he lame. That's not nice. Isabelle should replace vic on
two ed Mono, it would be mind blowing to listen.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
To I agree with that one hundred percent.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
Okay, well there's an idea.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
I can get behind that one hundred percent as well.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
How come the TEXTO soares have better ideas than you?
Is He's insides?

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Kates I mean, we brought this up when we discussed
the on Tuesday to Autumnal Tuesday, which today happens to be.
But it was last Tuesday that we have this discussion
and we said we do that is it Ronnie is?
And then it's like, no, I think we've decided that
Izzy would probably be the best Ronnie I would be
the best participant. But we pointed out that this is
a man that is cheated and tedimnal Tuesday before by feeding.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
The cheated in the past, been a proven cheater, caught
cheating in the past, red handed on air, and not
to mention the fact that what if something goes wrong,
what if there's bad feelings and now we got to
do a three four hour show with bad feelings from
Ronnie Fossio like the Don McClain incident about the Colorado
State song.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Exactly right, So there's a lot to consider. Immateial there
it is, there, it is. It's a flat from Hacksaw.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Another text and says Kate's ideas are steeped in coke.
The Terrible.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
Now that's a true story.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
You could do rapid fire with Izzy, just like throw
out different topics. She's got thirty seconds.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
She only cares about the Dodgers. She's like everybody else
in town. She used to care about the Lakers a
lot and the Dodgers, and now that pie is almost
completely eclipse the Lakers and it's all Pantone.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
I want is he's take on the drones. That's what
I want to know. What does she think they are?

Speaker 3 (18:56):
I don't think she has any idea that the drones
are above New Jersey.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
You gotta stop doing cocaine.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah you do.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
You coke freak cocaine.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
Hell of a drug.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
It puts a freeze on your face that won't thaw out.
All right, we'll be back, excuse me, We'll have more
great sports talk. I'm sorry that we try to figure
these things out on the air. We have some things

(19:28):
to dress in the new year. What is two ed
Mono Tuesday going to look like? What is the launch
pad gonna look like? We've eschewed a great deal of
our Christmas music. We've outabashably celebrated Vietnam Christmas without being

(19:49):
worried about repercussion. A lot to think about.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
What about the state of hate? We got like three
shows left.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
Well, we got a full show tomorrow and a full
show Friday. We got to decide.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
State of Hate very volatile. This yeah, wrong list. I mean,
you got to be productive during a time of change,
had a great time to have all kinds of enemies
around town, like the Dodger organist.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
We've added a lot of enemies.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
That's not okay. That's got to be resolved.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
We took the first step last Friday. We did.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
My only fear with doing State of Hate on Friday.
And while I shouldn't say my only fear, my issue
with doing State ahead on Friday is when we do
State of Hate, there is an incredible amount of intellection
from the listeners about hey, what about this? You forgot
about that? We you know what I mean? And I
don't want to have I'd like to be able to
respond to a lot of that. So I mean, I

(20:53):
guess if we did it on Friday, we'd do it
right there in the first segment or at like three
point thirty, and then that way the remainder.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
We got to figure this stuff.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Yeah we do.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
I say do it Friday. So Petros's phone just blows
up for two weeks.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
It's a show about a show.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
The December shows are about figuring out what we're going
to be doing in twenty twenty five. There is a
great idea here that says, rotate luminaries on the launch pad,
rotate luminaries on two Enemano Tuesday, and see how it
goes from there.

Speaker 4 (21:24):
Who are luminaries? Who decides who they are?

Speaker 1 (21:27):
We decide here together.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, yeah, use some of your fancy alliteration.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
It's a silk bra Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
And I don't know, no, it would be like a
We're gonna have a silk summit today.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Would she thank you? Matt? Tim Would you go soak
your head in something?

Speaker 3 (21:48):
Geez.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
We'll be back with more great sports talk on AMPI
seventy LA Sports. David Masse with the latest on Tia, scar.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Cokey, Petro sand Money, AM five seventy LA Sports Live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Did you know?

Speaker 3 (22:07):

Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona are now on sale. Do
not be late, do not miss the first chance to
see the world champions back on the field in twenty
twenty five. All the information and purchase availability is at
Camelback Ranch Baseball dot com Again that's camelbackranchbaseball dot Com

(22:29):
today as tickets for the biggest games of the spring
will sell out fast, so get on over there.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Well, we'll have to table our queries and quarrels for
another time, Matt. Perhaps the text also on the very
next segment. A lot of confusion in the last segment
as to what we should do during forward with some
of our features in the first segment of the show.
But right now a guy who's not going anywhere so
deeply embedded with the Dodgers. He's like a tick on

(22:57):
a docks, David Vasse, and somebody who was barbecuing said,
oh Lord Jesus is a farm stove talk and then
the smoke get me. I got brun saying, swat, what
is the hold up? With Ti, Oscar Howell, Cody Mellinger

(23:18):
and Mike Stanton co exists with the baby Mama thing.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
That's gonna be sweet.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
There's a lot to unpack with a great David Mass
Spectrum Sportsman LA m LB Network and right here on
AMPI seventy LA Sports he is our Dodger conduit at
the Real Underscore DV on Twitter, Dave, what is the latest?
What is it? About TiO scar to where Kenny Rosenthal

(23:47):
and you and all kinds of people have expected this
to be done a lot sooner and it's not done.
And is it his agent? What are they waiting for?

Speaker 5 (23:57):
Yeah, that's a great question, Petros because when you guys
asked me about this a couple of weeks ago, it's
where it was then as it is now. I mean,
it doesn't seem like anything has moved the needle. And
it felt like ta Oscar's representative thought there was going
to be a bidding war, like I mentioned a few times,

(24:18):
and now you got the Yankees taken on all of
Bellinger's contract. Basically they're interested in another right handed power
hitter and Anthony Santander. The Red Sox traded away their
last two first round picks and don't seem really motivated
to give a forfeit their second highest pick. And also,

(24:40):
you know, go beyond what the Dodgers seemingly have offered
for goodness. So from my understanding is going into the
off season, ta Oscar wanted a three year, guaranteed contract.
My understanding, the Dodgers have gone that far. They've gotten
close to where he wanted, if not where he wants it.

(25:00):
So the Dodgers that have been known to defer a
lot of dollars, maybe that's part of the negotiations at
this point, but there is no bidding war. And the
two teams that may be a wildcard in all this
are the Cincinnati Reds and the Toronto Blue Jays. Terry
Francona said last week at the Winter meetings he flew

(25:22):
to meet with Ellie de la Cruz. You would imagine
ti Oscar Hernandez would be a great mentor for Ellie
de la Cruz. But I don't see Tioscar Hernandez signing
with the Reds for the same number of years and
dollars he would re sign with the Dodgers, for they
would have to give him at least four or five years.
Same with the Blue Jays, just to a peace Vladimir

(25:45):
Guerrero Junior who has yet to sign an extension with them.
So there still seems to be a holding pattern, And
right now the Dodgers deal is the best deal to
Oscar Hernandez would have on the table, all things being equal.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Dave, speaking of Cody Bellincher going to the Yankees, they
also swooped in and got Devin Williams earlier today, he
said that that surprised him because he was under the
assumption that he was going to LA. Is that a
situation where they use they lose Juan Soto, maybe they
up their offer and whatever With Devin Williams, I'm what
I'm getting at is, do you think the Dodgers feel

(26:24):
like they have to add an arm into the bullpen?
And since it's not going to be Devin Williams, who
do you think that'll be?

Speaker 5 (26:31):
Yeah, I believe it's Tanner Scott. Matt The Dodgers, going
back to last week, reportedly had interest in Tanner Scott.
Nothing has made me believe that's not true. But I
feel like it's contingent on where this negotiation with Taoscar
Hernandez leads them and where the number gets for Tanner Scott,
who's thirty years old and has had two really good seasons.

(26:54):
But I feel whoever the Dodgers add and how far
they go is can tension on how they work out
this deal Withoska Hernandez. And by the way, I still
feel like it's going to happen. It's just taken longer
than what many expected it to take. Considering ta Oscar
has said he wants to come back, the Dodgers have

(27:15):
said they want him back. So I feel like that's
what it's all about. It as far as whether or
not it's Tanner, Scott or somebody else, and as far
as Devin Williams saying what he said down the zoom. Look,
there's no secret the Dodgers had interest in Devin Williams
going back to last offseason. It's just a matter of

(27:35):
which deal the Yankees wanted to take. And let's not
discount the fact the Dodgers have basically been the big
brother to the Brewers going back to the twenty eighteen
in LCS. Their owner has a home here in la
I wouldn't discount the fact maybe the owner said, you
know what, why are we trading with the Dodgers. Take

(27:58):
the Yankee deal instead.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
Makes sense, especially if they were willing to up the
ante after they got humiliated by the Mets, and you
could argue maybe what they've done is better than just
bringing one Soto back. Beyond the reliever, Dave, I'm trying
to kind of put the puzzle together. If in fact
Taoskar's going to get done, then what's left you know,
it feels like the infield is set. I think it is.
Are they comfortable with Gavin Lucks? Is there another utility player?

(28:25):
Like what do you think would still be left on
their shopping list?

Speaker 5 (28:30):
Yeah, resigning Key k Hernandez and sorting out what they
do with Gavin Lux. When they sign Kaoscar Hernandez, I'm
saying when, not if, But that's the way I feel.
They are going to resign Kioskar Hernandez and at that
point in time, they've got to figure out what they're
going to do with Gavin Lux. Is he going to

(28:51):
be a depth bench piece or do they feel like
there's a deal out there that they can improve their
team in a different area that still remains to be seen.
And the great thing about the way Andrew Friedman operates
is that he doesn't put himself in a corner. There's
no there's no urgency to have to trade Gavin Lux

(29:14):
now or even in spring training unless there's a deal
that presents itself.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
The One and Only David Vasse at the Real Underscore
DV with the latest in the hot stove, as the
stove remains hot like chestnuts roasting on an open fire
during the holiday season, David, seems like the Yankees got
a lot.

Speaker 5 (29:35):
Better they did, Petros. I like their team right now
a lot more than what I saw last year. You know,
last year the Yankees really relied upon two players and
at times John Carlos Stanton. They are a more well
rounded team, balanced lineup, better defensive team than they were

(29:56):
when they lost Game five of the World Series to
the Dodgers. And they've got versatility now. Cody Bellinger can
play center field or first base, depending on what they
decide to do. And Max Freed is going to have
his press conference on tomorrow, And right now they have
a pretty good right handed, left handed starting pitcher combination

(30:18):
with Garrett Cole and Max Free, and they don't seem
to be done. They're looking at Anthony Santander, and you know,
we may have a rematch of last year's World Series
if all goes as expected. Still feel like the Dodgers
are at least a step and a half, if not two,
ahead of the rest of the National League with their
pitching staff the way they've constructed it. So yeah, I

(30:42):
feel like, you know, it could be a replay of
what we saw in seventy seven and seventy eight where
we see a Dodgers Yankees back to back World Series matchup.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
I'm sure Rob Manfred would sign up for that right
about now, Dave, because John Hayman refuses to do business
with them anymore. He can't believe it. Do you? Do
you feel the need to go on with former Petros
and Money Coast Vcoast Mets versus Dodgers in the NLCS
opponent Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber to defend the Dodgers

(31:14):
from being called classless pigs for auctioning off the Aaron
Judge ball that they did not auction off, but simply
were given the proceeds courtesy of Major League Baseball.

Speaker 5 (31:24):
Yeah, I'm glad you said that, right, Matt. Those yahoos
in New York obviously don't do their homework before they
start popping off. MLB dot Com auctioned off the ball
that Judge clanked in Game five, and they obviously wanted
to get the bidding up, so they attached it to

(31:45):
the Dodgers' website as well. MLB dot Com auctions are
the ones that auctioned off the Judge baseball that sold
for forty three thousand, five hundred and ten dollars. So yeah,
it feels like they jumped the gun. And I would
imagine that they are not going to retract their their

(32:05):
saltiness and just their amateur hour type of style of radio.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Because they're classless pigs.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Do you ever go on with those guys, Dave? I can't, Balira, No.

Speaker 5 (32:15):
I've never been on w S A N and can
say that I've never desired to be on with ws AN.
Just like everything else East Coast Biased, the only show
I want to be on is right here. Petro some money.
Whether or not there's a launching pad or not.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Well, what do you think about that? Do you have
a do you have a skin in the game? I
mean you were on the original launching pad.

Speaker 5 (32:38):
You should find another one of your your devoted listeners
that show up at every BJ's remote and every tour stop.
I think you should reward those Petros and money fans
that that desire to be a bigger part of the show.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Didn't feel like people appreciated us trying to hash that
out on the air in the last second, and I
apologize for that. I tried my best, and you know,
we try to figure out the two EDA Mono Tuesday thing,
and people weren't as upset, you know, But I think
I think I.

Speaker 5 (33:11):
Feel like once you're in that jacuzzi in the desert,
a lot of ideas will come to you.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Once uh, once Kate started, Once Kate started to use
its amazing alliteration, everything's started to really go south. But
I thought Matt's Chuck jeger uh, let's go test pilot
reference was a pretty good idea. All right, Dave, we'll
have a great week and we'll talk to you before
the week is over once something gets going here. But

(33:38):
have a great week and we'll talk to you soon.
Thank you for joining us, and we'll find out what's
going on with till scar.

Speaker 5 (33:44):
Happy holidays, my friends.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
Oh you're coming on again before the holidays. Jerk, You're
going to hang.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
An extress stocking for GM Carlos Stanton at Bellinger House. Huh,
let's go, thank you? Yeah, yeah, what's left? Matt Carson
Palmer's coming on today.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
We got to give away the tickets to the Charge
of Bronco game, so stay tuned for that opportunity.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
If you're Cody Bellinger, do you do you give a
Christmas card to Mike Stanton like here, just want to
give it to my new teammate. Here you go, friends, listen,
I bet, I bet Stanton's not the only guy she
dated before Cody Bellinger.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
And I bet Cody laid with a number of ladies
as well. I heard, Hey she fs's Let's not be
immature right now.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
This is the adult world.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
Yes, we're the only ones that share in carnal pleasures
of a member of the opposite sex. Perhaps they found
enjoyment in the company of others prior to meeting us.
But you know what she's with Cody now, she's made.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
A family with him.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Of course, very Cody's comfortable with that, damn very happy.
I just got to do is just say, loopen your face.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yes, wow, you know why she left because your I
can't my god, sorry textell so coming up deck big

(35:23):
thinking to Dave.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
Still have a pair of tickets to give away to
Chargers Broncos Thursday night football SOFI Stadium Primetime affair. Do
that between now and the end of the show at
six pm. But uh, let's shrink it.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
Let's go next forty five minutes.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
Oh the power you wield. Let's go next forty five minutes.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
Yeah, somewhere in the next forty five minutes, we'll give
those tickets away. Chargers v. Broncos out at SOFI.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
I gotta be honest, Matt. I was a little shaken
by the first segment of the show about the decision.
We didn't know what to do. We still know what
to do. We don't know what to do with t
ed Mono Tuesday. We don't know how to handle the
launching pattern if it should still exist. And these are
things we try to figure out before the new year
gets here. Anyway, I was upset enough to put on

(36:13):
a movie channel to distract myself, and the movie Machete Kills.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
Oh yeah, I love it with.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Former Petrosen Money guests Danny Trejo was on and uh
he he killed a guy by throwing his intestines into
a helicopter blade and then the intestines got caught in the.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Blade, so he disembowels the guy with the machete well earlier.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Then the guy comes back after him. He pulls his
intestines out, throws them into the helicopter blade, which pulls
the guy up to the blade and chops them all up. Amazing.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
Yeah, that's you know, Richard Ramirez talk about vision. Not
a lot of people have that sort of directorial or
creative vision.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
The Nightstalker to uh.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
Richard, you know what, I think night Stalker had it
as well.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Jesuless News. I was here during that time, was horrible.
It's time everybody lived in fear. It's time for time
for listen.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
You can probably combine them. Robert Rodriguez, Richard Robert, Robert Rodriguez.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Yeah, I'm an idiot.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Let's go secret text A line brought to you by
your so called Toyota dealers.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
We make it easy. It's a feel good story for
the holidays.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
You know what, I think we might have stumbled something.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
You know, it's a great thing. In East La Christmas,
a Mexican guy saw Richard Ramirez and just bomped him
upside the head with a crowbar. And then the rest
of the neighborhood everybody got a piece before the cops
picked him off. This pretty sweet.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
I remember the day Pechos he was caught. I was
at Universal City Utiful Studios with my family. They made
a big announcement on the tram and everybody started cheering.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
And now here we go into King Kong, psychle House.
By the way, Hey, check this out. It's gonna uh
the the the uh the the sea is get apart.
We're gonna have the Moses thing now. All right, it's
time for the text. Does Matt speaking of Vietnam Christmas?

(38:26):
When is Ronnie gonna jam the rooster? I haven't heard
Lane old December brother, random random Vietnam Christmas text?

Speaker 5 (38:38):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
This is in reference to the alliteration Tim was using
cocaine Kate's wacky wet Wednesday, make it happen? No, Uh,
this sounds stupid, but it's really good. Replaced vic in
the Launching Pad and to ed Mono Tuesday with Brian Vance.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
Interesting, it's terrible an adversary of foil.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
Is these insights? Wait? Pe, is this an episode of
mad Men? That's fire for PMS luminaries for two Edemino
Tuesday and the Launching Pad. You could use the June
the third David guy and the San Diego rapper guy, the.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
Chargers guy, oh right, right, right right, either the bikes
for the kids.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Yeah, which Terry Crews just delivered in.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
Cost words dyeing Imperial Beach point to the sky Chargers.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
Correct, I just went Christmas tree shopping by myself. First
time that's happened. I'm telling you, that's the new thing
to do. It's empowered. It's like having a Stanley. It's
the cool things. It's empowering. You don't have to hear
no s from nobody. You don't have to fight about
it the car. Nobody has to be blamed, but one

(40:03):
person takes all the responsibility. You go, you get the tree,
you bring it to the house. I want to hear
know nothing about it. That's my new style, Matt. It works.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
I hear nothing about it. I don't hear nothing about nothing.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
I don't want to hear nothing from nobody about nothing.
That's my mouth. Shut use your mouth to shut up.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
Shut up when I'm talking to you.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
That's what I say. Put googly eyes all over the restroom.
It wouldn't be as weird as Money's weird. Wiener peeping.
I didn't get a lot of a text Matt about Hey,
this is in reference to yesterday. You know, why can't

(40:43):
match just leave people a rent loan? What if that
guy has alternative colitis or something, you know, and he's.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
And he doesn't want to explode, he doesn't want a
coworker to hear it. I don't don't care. That's my
whole point is, well he doesn't know, you know, or
Alicia that That's what I'm trying to say. Hey, don't
be don't don't assume you're gonna be judged. Do your business.
It's what the bathroom's for. It's better than holding it
in and and busting up.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
Yeah, but not everybody knows that you're evolved like that, Matt.
Not everybody knows that. Well, we should, but they think
big well, they think you're gonna do what you've done
in the past, which is which is exactly what you did.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
I just go back and report it on air. I
did it once one time yesterday. One time prior to
yesterday did I share, And it was understandable that I
shared that parts.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
Around his ankles and his ass in the air while.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
He's like a second greater at the journal bringing that
back to.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
The city of Los Angeles and the iHeartRadio app. Poor
old guy.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
I felt like yesterday was a message of positivity.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Well, yesterday, I know for a fact that somebody was
up at night in the fetal position, being like I
was a coward. I should have peede instead he went
on the air and he in front of me, and
I would I'm Brian Vance and I just asked my pants.

(42:09):
Now there's a segment, cads, Why didn't you come up
with something like that, your dumb ass.

Speaker 4 (42:15):
Yeah, I'll try, I'll try for that. Okay.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
When I was a little kid, When I was a
little kid, my mom will woke me up in the
middle of the night so I could close my window
because Richard Mrs Was on the loose and he might
sneak in my room and slip my throat. I didn't
sleep for like two weeks, Matt.

Speaker 4 (42:31):
White, White yelling at me.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
No, no, it slipped out.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
I meant to say, Robert Rodriguez, I said, Richard m
a mistake, very common mistake.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
Total comment.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
And this shows there's a lot of grab ass on it. Yes,
but let's not joke about the nightstalker in eighty four
eighty five. This was a dangerous time here copy the
Los Angeles all right.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
Yeah, forty years ago.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Man, it's terrible.

Speaker 4 (42:50):
It was a tough time, hot summer of eighty four.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
It was all over the place, Matt, even down in
Mission Viejo. Here's another Textosa life. When the decision comes
to launchpad or no launchpad, Always go with launch pad.
Launchpad is the pinnacle, the height of AM radio. It
is the gorilla throwing the bone in two thousand and
one that leads to a new world of discovery. My

(43:16):
children's children's children will speak of the launch pad in
awe and reverence. Launchpad forever. Thank you, sir.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
Get behind that.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
That's a great text right there. Get behind that, Ramirez Rodriguez.
Common mistake for a white guy, hell ombray Blanco. Oh
there's a better one. Common Peckerwood mistake. This says money

(43:55):
doesn't get to poop. Shame anyone he pooped at a
cardboard box. Would Oh.

Speaker 3 (44:02):
I used to work construction. Before they would brings to
the site, you would poop in the box and light
it on fire. Maybe that was just hazy, but that's
what they told me.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
And I don't know.

Speaker 3 (44:14):
Maybe way you gotta do it.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
Man, idiots out they're pooping in a buck. I could
legit hook you guys up with the slam diego rap guys.
Oh the back back back guys. No, I think they
the other guys that did the other rap song. It
was like go bots got clips by the Transformers, which

(44:36):
were the back back back guys, but I think the
Slam Diego guys were first. Anyway, I'm sorry. Thanks for listening, everybody,
Thanks for helping us work out our problems. We'll be
right back with more great sports talk word Number song
Carson Palmer. Top story of the day is that I'm
