big breaking news Gavin Lucks traded to the Cincinnati Reds.
They sign Ii Song Kim, an infielder out of South Korea,
and Gavin Lucks is out. We do not know the
details yet. We are waiting to find out what the
(00:58):
return is, but as of right now, we simply know
that the Dodgers are trading Gavin Lucks to the Cincinnati Reds.
Jeff Passing first to report check that Fabian Ardaya first Sport.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
You better get that right. I think passing a rage
against your machine. If you're wrong, No, it was passing
to at it first. There you go. I don't want
your machine to be raged against Gavin Lucks.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
So here we go. We got it, actually, Pee, we
got the hosting. Yep, he just posted it forty seconds ago. Uh,
Gavin Lucks to Cincinnati. Dodgers receive a competitive balance round
a pick.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
What that would be?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
It says that'll be around number thirty seven and the
outfield prospect Mike Sioda.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
So they just gave Gavin Lucks away.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Kate's Is that how we should read into that? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Saroda is a twenty one year old outfielder who is
in low low low minor leagues. Last year played baseball
at Northeastern. Was a third round pick just last June,
make that July when the draft happened of the Cincinnati Red.
So they get a low level minor league outfielder and
a pick in.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
The other sisionft is this the guy the Dodgers drafted originally?
It looks like he was originally drafted by the Dodgers
in the sixteenth round in twenty twenty one when he
was a high schooler. They went to college then he
went to college. The Reds got him out of Northeastern.
As you said, now.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
The Dodgers are coming back around again. This is for
the people of the Sun.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Five star.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It's gonna be five tool player, three twenty four average
over three seasons at Northeastern, selected by the Reds in
the third round last July.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
So we're gonna talk to David vasse in the very
next segment, will kill the top story of the day.
I'm not even gonna get to talk about my weekend.
Thanks a lot, Gavin Lock.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Do it here.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
We got we got a whole segment.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
To say I didn't do anything. It's fine, no, Matt,
we have other stuff to handle. We have other things
on the schedule. But it's just for the die of
the Sun. Yeah, but there's breaking news and things have
to die. And if Gavin Lux is going to die
and art.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
A stupid number of the day that nobody cares about, well.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I have a very important word of the day that
it's going to shape the week.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Hasn't been informed of the trade guys, and apparently he
flipped his cap off when he heard about it.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
So I'm just kid taking this cast.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Actually, we can have that part. We have the sound
of him being informed now Gavin Lutts. Of course, the
heartbreaking injury. He was going to be the shortstop. It
was everything sunshine and roses. This was in twenty twenty three,
right at the beginning of spring training. He had a
(03:40):
terrible leg injury while running from second to third if
I'm correct, out in Arizona. His leg flew clean off,
was washed up on the beach in Palace Verdes, was reattached,
was not himself for quite some time, and there was
a lot of question as to whether or not he
was going to be able to stay in the lineup.
(04:01):
But he did well enough for them to keep him
in the lineup throughout all the playoffs and all that,
and they needed him. And now he's gone. With his
small face and his Wisconsin ways, piggy nose and his
pug nose, absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Just makes you wonder why they couldn't get more for
Gavin lux You get a pick in a low level,
third round, minor leaguer.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Maybe they really have their eye on someone like they
have thirty seven A grades like, as long as we
can get to thirty seven, maybe Vic Wood, guys, we.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Want Vic the brick would say this is Lucks for
flotsam and jetsam. Yes he would, even though they have
come back around again to pick up that guy.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It's just for the people in the Sun.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And that was for the people of the Sun.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I mean, they could have traded Gavin Lux and others
to Milwaukee for reliever Devin Williams. You'll end up going
to the Yankees. But so yeah, I mean he could
have been part of a deal. Wisconsin boy goes home.
Now you can sell that.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
He did hit one for sixteen in the NLCS in
a World series.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, but he was there, he was competing, He was there,
he had his cap on the bright lights of the
World Series was just too big for him. Huh.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
He had just taken it off.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Well, good luck to everybody involved a big Dodger trade,
and we'll talk to David Vassy as to why this.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Happened and what is happening weird Man in.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
The very next segment. I'm sad for Gavin Lucks, but
these guys come and go. I mean, Walker Bueller was
heroic in the World Series and now he's gone, so
everything must change. Winter turns to spray.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
You know, he's happy about this trade. Freddie Freeman. He's like, man,
I don't have picked the ball anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
But first, oh, fair point.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Oh did I hear calling ye laughing and mocking Gavin Locks?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I was called he likes the chuck now Block style humor.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
That is not cool, guys, Sax and Kate's and the
am would not do that. We all know that.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Well, Colin's just laughing along with it. Kates is the
one that said it. But I'm still gonna hold you culpable, Colin.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I didn't think that was nice.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I heard you laughing and I didn't think that was nice.
All right, It's time for the word of the day.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
His words. The word of the day, Okay, Matt.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Today's word of the day is substructions. Yeah, substructions. Do
we have the intro obstructor? Oh? Come on, you love it?
You love it, just like that chick when you started
speaking Italian. I love it. But there's totally intros for it.
(06:48):
There's no intro for this. There is, Matt, there is,
there is Yeah, you a hoole. It's very high brow,
very It's about Lars vont Treer exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Really, guys, I didn't know we had an open for it.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I texted you about it. I mean, I know Gavin
Lux is a big trade, but come on, we'll fine.
I'll explain it all, even though we have an open
It's based on two legendary filmmakers, Lars von Trier and
Jurgen Left, and the film is called The Five Obstructions.
(07:23):
It is conceived of basically challenges obstructions imposed on Left
by von Trier, and that is what we do when
Matt travels with the Chargers for the playoffs. We don't
give him five obstructions because that's too many, but we
usually come up with a couple here and there. It's
(07:47):
always a good time, and there is an intro for it,
and I truly resent that we don't have it because
there's a total. It really sneaks me down have hidden it.
But anyway, some highlights of obstructions over the years. Obviously
not a lot of wins, because the Chargers have not
(08:07):
won a lot in the playoffs, at least since Matt
has been the voice of the Bolts. They have won
a couple one two Tree. But we sent Matt to
Jacksonville for some obstructions and he came back very bitter
because of the way the game went, which is understandable,
but happier times even though the Chargers didn't win. We
sent him out to New England for a Narragantis beer,
(08:31):
Narroganst beer, and for a yeah we and we sent
him to Baltimore for the Natty Bow, the National Bohemian beer.
So we have done some things. Do we have posed Grave?
A post Grave? Sent you to post Grave and the hood? Well,
I can't control the weather.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
The Milton Bradley headquarters that might have been Providence.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Do we have any of that? Cads?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
All right, Pee, I'm here with Glenny. So I say
this whaler beer that I got to find for some
Rhode Island beer. Does that sound like a Rhode Island
beer to you? Glenn? Yeah? Yeah? But what about this
that I got instead? Here? You want to hold that
for me? Do you mind? What is that there? Naraganst
and what is in nar against it? It's a Naraganst
bit and that's from island. That's Rhode Islandganster Rode Island.
(09:15):
If I got to find a Rhode Island beer, this
is the way Rhode Island did. All right, fine, my man,
Glenn againsty beer, and then we have both Rhode Island.
Be we have some one Edgar Allen pose Grave there
is here. It's rain.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I'm in the middle of downtown Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Ray, thanks a lot, being very upset.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
DJ.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
This is This is obstruction number two. Does this qualify
as a crab cake to you?
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah, that fans looking at it.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
But once you get the forecast and get a little
look in there, a little close.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Up there, a little investigation. Right, you're darn right. It's
a cramp, all right, darn right. Obstruction number there we go,
find a spot from the wire. Mayor Royce, Mayor Carcetti.
They did their business right there at city Hall. So
that makes it three. All right, fantastic, not raining his
bad so doing all right here? All right. So I'm
just walking around Baltimore trying to find Ray Lewis. I
(10:12):
don't know, it's kind of a dreary day. Oh what
do you know?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
It's Ray Lewis.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Thought this was going to be the tough one.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Oh and I sent you for five for come down.
That was all.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Here we go, Obstruction number five. Get the natty bow,
got the natty bou got the natty bow. Yeah, we
all get up.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I wanted to send you. Obviously, you guys are going
to Houston, and I've started thinking about it. I don't
have to get it all figured out to Wednesday, but
I started thinking about it, and the first thing I
thought about was Townsman's Ant, who was a great weird
kind of American country singer who was followed around by
people like Emi, Lou Harris and Steve Earle. He was
(10:57):
a heroin addict and a drunk and he slept on
couch is despite being an heir to a Texas fortune
and a very famous fort Worth family. And he had
a very famous album called Live at the Old Quarter
in Galveston, which I looked up, and that is still
a music venue in Galveston. It is fifty miles away.
(11:19):
I'm not going to do that. But the oldest building
in Houston. There's also a wine and beer bar, and
it is downtown. It is apparently a piece of living
history La Carafe, and it's a candlelit tavern. It hasn't
(11:39):
changed in one hundred and twenty five years, and it
only serves wine and beer and they ring you up
on an antique cash only register, and it's got a
jukebox with Edith Poff Django, Reinhardt and Hank Williams. So
that's obstruction number with that. Yeah, well you have to
go I don't care. It's I don't care eight one
(12:06):
three Congress Street and it's downtown, so you should be
okay for that. Uh La Cafe the oldest building and
restaurant and bar though it is beer and wine only,
but you're a beer drinker, so that should be fine. Right.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
That sounds great? All right, that's what a lot better
than having to go to Galveston.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
The Old Quarter and the Quarter I'm getting, but.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
You're still thinking about putting that on me having that
drived fifty miles away.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I'm getting a lot of texts about the wing strip
club game in Houston, and apparently it's real strong.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
So I'll tell you funny. So, my one of my
high school friends is like the strip club magnate Houston.
He is Ricks Cabaret, and my buddy Rick that I
grew up with and was a complete degenerate. I have
no idea how he became the strip club king of Houston,
but yeah, Rix Cabaret is his.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Well at s Obstruction number two, get yourself a free
lap dance here, Rick, Here we go. Matt, we got
the number of the day. Gavin Luz is gone, and
we got the number of the day. Here's my number.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Number of the day.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Number the day is one twenty five, one hundred and
twenty five dollars. The cees followed the chargers into Las Vegas.
Chargers raiders, Huge, huge event, giant draw hotels, held electronics thing,
consumer electronics show.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, big show.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
It's always wild. It's the biggest, one of the biggest
conventions of any industry in America in a given year.
And of course consumers pay close attention to it because
we like technology, and we like fancy things that are
supposed to make our lives easier. And the first I
guess hot item item you know, causing a stir a
(13:59):
lot of the tech journalists, the tech columnists are writing
about this one particular thing that has raised its hand
early Hello from Japan, the not kuran ichibon, but the
Kirin electric salt spoon. It is one hundred and twenty
five dollars. And because some people have issues with high
(14:21):
sodium and the effects, the negative effects on your health
at having high sodium and your system may lead to
the electric salt spoon gives you a subtle electric shock
that mimics the taste of salt when you use it.
(14:42):
The journalists that have reviewed it so far say, yeah,
it works. Oh, let me, it takes takes a second
to get lower that blood pressure right, gets your timing right.
You got to hit it at a particular moment, right
when it hits your mouth, and it's just a quick pop.
I guess, and they say yes. In fact, the stimulation
does lead things to taste like they have a hint
(15:03):
as salt. So if you do have issues with the
sodium and the high sodium and the blood pressure and
all that comes with it, then perhaps this is something
which is already out there in Japan and will be
released to the US market this year. One hundred and
twenty five bucks Kieran's electric salt spoon. What if you
wanted more salt on your food but were opened to
(15:24):
a mild electric shock instead.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I don't know, it'd pretty interesting. Tim Keats has found
the obstructions open. Here we go from the twenty nineteen folder,
which was the first year we did it, when Anthony
Lynn was still the head coach of the Chargers. It
was labeled incorrectly. If I remember It is not the
most impressive intro that has ever been built on the
(15:49):
Petrosen Money Show. Probably could have been done better. But
here are the five obstructions of Matt Smith, inspired by
Lars bon Trier and Jurgen Leth, the intro that we
were looking for.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
We want to see what he can and what he
cannot do?
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Is he perfect enough or not?
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Entirely?
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Mad Money Smith on the road with the Chargers.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I would like to know something more about him.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Five obstructions.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
With the Perfect Human?
Speaker 7 (16:22):
That's just something we say.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Can he complete the tasks.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
While hoping he can do what we see he can do? Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Actually that is at present. I love him super high brow. Yeah,
the perfect Human? Is he perfect or something else? Love
it all right? I'll calling ye.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
This is the song of the day.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Yeah, today's song of the day is I'll be seeing
you by the Five Satins in honor of Gavin Luck
says we bid him farewell. We'll be seeing you Gavin
somewhere hitting sixth in Cincinnati. Wow in uh, you know,
at some one o'clock game where the Dodgers are winning
(17:07):
twelve to two.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
We'll see you go, ouch sono bitch hey Colin you're
a very experienced broadcaster. We got David Masse coming up next.
Why don't you send it to break.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
Get Davidvesse coming back right after this Petrick some money show.
We're going to four here on name five to seventy
LA Sports.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
All right, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Just go to the top of the hour and then
we'll pass it over to Adam Oslin for Clippers basketball.
Anything you miss you can always reliveya the podcast. We
already put an hour in the books. And then we
got the big breaking news p at the top of
the hour. Right before the top of the hour, Gavin
Lux traded to the Cincinnati Reds. And that is what
we get to right now.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Big breaking news, Matt, Big breaking news. What kind of
inquisitive look on Gavin Lux's face when they told him
he was being traded? David Vasse live.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Know, somebody who was barbecuing said, oh Lord, Jesus is
a fun on the stove talk.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
And then the smoke get me. I got Bruni sad.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
All Slot, the stove giveth and the stove taketh. David
Vasse fresh off and appearance on Spectrum Sportsnet lay you
can see him there tonight. Our Dodger reporter also on
MLB Network, the one and only ring wearing David Vasse
on Your Southern California Toyota did a celebrity hotline reacting
(18:36):
to the breaking news, Dave, are you surprised by this?
After they signed the High Song Kim.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
I am not surprised by this trade. It's a little
surprising that it's to the Reds. But this alleviates a
log jam up the middle on the infield for the Dodgers.
And let's not forget Mookie Betts is scheduled to play
at shortstop to start the year, but who knows how
that's going to go. And if it doesn't go the
way Mookie wants it to go, there's now a position
(19:06):
for him to stay on the infield, in that second
base And you got Tommy Edman who could play gold
Glove defense at second base. You got High Sung Kim
that could play second base, you got Chris Taylor that
could play second base. So Gavin Lux unfortunately was the
odd man out. And it also creates a forty man
roster spot for the Dodgers because they acquired a player
(19:28):
that's not going to be put on it.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
What do you do we know anything about Mike Sarota
or now.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
I know the Dodgers drafted him back in twenty twenty
one and he chose to stay in school. But that's
all I know about him.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
OK.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
So it'll could be another one of these questions like
Kartaya for the next three years.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Well, oh, I think it's just Gavin Lucks and Dave
were two of the biggest prospects that we've heard about
the Dodgers farm system for the last what seven years.
It feels like those were the two.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Right.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
That brings up the whole point that I've always made.
The minor leagues is there to help augment your major
league roster, no matter how good you think they are
in single A or Double A or Triple A. If
you have a chance to trade a player like that
to get an impact, proven major league player, you do
it because a lot of times they don't pan out
(20:22):
to be the guy that you thought they would be.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Well, I'm gonna defend my radio partner here because I'm
proud of him.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Thank you for the work that he's done. I take
a lot of incoming.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
But Gavin Lux was a pretty prize prospect by the Dodgers,
Like you said, Dave, and they seemed. And when he
became more than a prospect, a starter and all that,
an everyday player, it felt like they gave him a
lot of leash before they finally got rid of him.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Here a lot of leash going back to what twenty
nineteen when they gave him a chance to play center
field and took away at Matt's from Key k Hernandez.
And look, the reality is, Gavin lux was supposed to
be a shortstop. With the devastating injury he had a
couple of springs ago. He's a second baseman now. And
(21:09):
the reality in Gavin's defense as well, is that he
was an everyday second basement for the Dodgers last year,
and he played second base the majority of October on
a World championship team. So it's not like he was
a complete slop. He was a serviceable player. He was
a solid player. But the way the roster is constructed now,
(21:30):
with Tommy Edman signed up for the next five years
and already have won a Gold Glove at second base
among the names that I just mentioned there, there just
wasn't a spot for him anymore, especially with Mookie Betts.
I think this is where it really matters that Mooki
Betts is on the infield because eventually Mookie Bets will
be a second baseman.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
So well, I was going to say so to some degree,
this appeases is not the right word for Mookie. But
this is a product of Mooki no longer wanting to
play in the outfield and wanting to play in the infield.
But the more interesting question, Dave, sorry for the dietribe
there is you said it opens a forty man roster spot.
So what does that signal to you?
Speaker 5 (22:12):
It signals the Dodgers have another transaction in the works.
There's a lot of possibilities. It doesn't automatically mean tomorrow
Key K Hernandez is going to be signed. There's been
talk about them adding another big league reliever to their bullpen,
whether it's Tanner Scott or somebody else. And the Roki
Sazaki sweepstakes is on the horizon on January fifteenth, that's
(22:35):
when he can be signed. So it opens up the
spot for a number of different different options for Andrew Friedman.
Not necessarily Key K a Hernandez tomorrow, but I do
believe that KEYK will be on this Dodger roster at
some point in time. It just may not be automatically.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Now, So what is the best case scenario that you're
getting from Dodger fans, Dave, is that they want Societ
and they want Key k and then everybody can jail
till the spring.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
I do believe they need another arm in that bullpen,
and Dodger GM Brandon Gomes said that during the Teoscar
Hernandez press conference they want another reliever, whether it's Tanner Scott,
whether it's making a trade. But yeah, the two bigger
names that Dodgers fans will know is Rokie Sazaki and
keyk Hernandez. If the Dodgers get Sazaki and they bring
(23:29):
back keyk Hernandez and somehow, some way Lantanner Scott, I mean,
that's gonna be one of the all time off seasons
by any defending World Series champion.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Which, by the way, already is one of the better.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Off seasons of any other team out there.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Uh, Dave, the most important question I can ask about this,
I really felt like of all the players, Gavin Lux
was the most open to the idea of a hats
optional approach to playing baseball. Now that he is gone,
who do you think might take up that?
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Cause maybe O'toni.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
He takes off his helmet during every ad bat.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
He touches his hair every between every swing. That's a
great call we can get in front of. How do
you get FaceTime with it?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I think the problem is like it's only when he
goes to pitch right, because I can't get a helmet
off of him. You got to protect your head in
case you get bean right, So it's not like that's
gonna work. I gotta find somebody in the field.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Well, good luck to you when he's a good lound.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
I tambled that after the Chargers playoffs.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
This might have this might have died with Super Bowl,
with Lux's departure. Matt, your your campaign may have died
a terrible death, just a shocking death, Uh Dave. Other
than that, how are you.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Great?
Speaker 5 (24:50):
I'll be on Sports and at LA tonight at six
o'clock breaking news with John Hart, Toongue and Jerry Harriston Junior.
We're out here in Elson Gundo getting ready for the
show at six o'clock. I mean, a real preparation goes
into the show.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Are they all sitting around watching you right now?
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Exactly Jerry was actually demonstrating, uh, how to play the
position of shortstop. John Hart tongue's and deep thoughts right now,
one of the most gracious hosts he could ever find,
unselfish hosts out there. So got the control room, as
they like to say in the biz. On standby, Petros,
would you like to say hi to Jerry and John? Yeah,
(25:28):

Had no scandals there. Tip off at five other than
his love for Noah Eagle Clippers versus t.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Wolves, p or Dead Guy Birthday of the Day. Van
McCoy penn hits and then said, I want my own
I want my own hit.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
He penned, he wrote some hits.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
He wrote some hits for US. Oh, there's fan. Allen
Clinton mccullochy would have an eighty five today. Born in
the District Washington, DC, started playing piano as a child,
sang in the church choir. By twelve, was already writing,
playing and performing originals. Made a little bit of noise,
got to deal with end records, but not enough to
deter him from heading to college. Howard University psychology major
(29:22):
did that for two years, but said, nah man, I
got to chase the dream. He dropped out and moved
to Philadelphia, started his own label, Rock and Records, and
put out a song called Hey Mister DJ, became a
local hit. He then started to manage the acts, the
biggest of which was Gladys Knight in the Phipps.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
That's a big act, it is.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
He wrote the song giving Up, big hit for Gladys
Knight and the Pips. He wrote Baby I'm Yours for
Barbara Lewis and I Get the Sweetest Failing for Jackie Wilson.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
I would be more all today, I'd be more familiar
with the former.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
In nineteen seventy five, though, he decided to chase that
rock star dream again for himself, and he was really
deep into the disco scene, so he put on an
album the time. You know, I'm gonna give the people
what they want. This guy Wind, it's the uh how
to win friends and influence people. It's not about what
I like, It's about what you like. Disco disco baby.
(30:27):
This song, The Hustle was the last song recorded and
an afterthought. You hear those stories all the time. Right.
Was not released as a single, but started getting some
play in the clubs and a man it took off
is I'm sure you can imagine. We all know. The
Hustle number one on both the Pop and R and
B Billboard Hot one hundred for weeks, number three in
the UK. The Hustle won the Grammy Song of the Era.
(30:51):
How about that The Hustle. It was the biggest disco
song of the year, one of the biggest ever We've
got elevators song.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Right.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
He did have some follow ups that took off in
clubs and the disco circuit, but did not break through
on the popper, R and B scene like The Hustle did. Sadly,
our man Van dropped dead heart attack, thirty nine years old.
Yeah Bummer in nineteen seventy nine at his home in Englewood,
New Jersey, Van McCoy the hustle.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Okay, Matt, Well, we'll stay with the young musical prodigies.
This guy's still alive. And this is Jamaica News. It's
Jamacca News.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Sig ros Don Matt.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Today we celebrate Stephen McGregor, who is thirty five today.
Stephen McGregor sounds like a dirt Irish potato eater, but no,
he is the He's a black man and the son
of a legendary singer, Freddy McGregor. Freddy mcgrask. He his dad, Freddy,
(32:01):
Freddie McGregor's son and along with two other singers in
the family, Chino and Shema. Stephen called by The New
York Times a reggae veteran at the age of eighteen.
He goes by the name the Genius because Yeah, a
local radio DJ gave him the genius because when he
(32:24):
was like five years old, he started working in a
production studio. I'll give you that story. He is more
into songwriting and production than he is singing. His father,
Freddie McGregor, is the singer of one of the most
famous reggae songs of all time, Big Ship, which was
a huge international reggae standard and Freddy McGregor turned down
(32:45):
a deal with arrista Is and how you say, I
always say records And maybe that was a good thing
because he went and made the Big Ship label and
he built a home studio where De Genius found a
home since an early age. And they said they couldn't
tell he was in the studio because he was so short.
(33:06):
He could not be seen over the mixing death at
the age of five, like Preston Smith out there. Yeah,
And his first big rhythm for the dancehall world was
an Elephant Man tune also known as the Cartoon rhythm.
Him and his brother approached the elephant Man and not
(33:26):
John Merrick, the reggae singer one.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
He's bringing him extra pillows so he can.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Slip standing up. That was while he was in high school.
He did the Red Bull and Hennessy rhythm, and he
worked with all the stars. By the time he was
like twenty years old, he had done songs with ViBe's
Cartel Bounty Killer. He's done a bunch of albums or
big parts of the albums of Sean Paul, who's an
(33:53):
international star, and that broke him into the mainstream and
he won a Grammy for Drake on one of Drake's
albums before Kendrick Lamar canceled Drake Okay, and he worked
with Nelly for Tato Friend of Yours? Matt, is that right?
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (34:07):
You like a.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Birdun John Legend? You want to Grammy for John Legend?
Neo some jpop albums they've called him. Warner signed the
Genius in twenty nineteen. He's already got five Grammys even
Latin pop. Burner Boy, pretty dynamic guy.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (34:34):
And Matt, that's it? No more. Gavin lucks to kick around.
He's in Cincinnati and we'll talk more about it tomorrow
when we start at three o'clock. All right, speaking of reason,
what's reasonable? Clippers on a Monday, that's what you want? Yeah,

big breaking news Gavin Lucks traded to the Cincinnati Reds.
They sign Ii Song Kim, an infielder out of South Korea,
and Gavin Lucks is out. We do not know the
details yet. We are waiting to find out what the
(00:58):
return is, but as of right now, we simply know
that the Dodgers are trading Gavin Lucks to the Cincinnati Reds.
Jeff Passing first to report check that Fabian Ardaya first Sport.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
You better get that right. I think passing a rage
against your machine. If you're wrong, No, it was passing
to at it first. There you go. I don't want
your machine to be raged against Gavin Lucks.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
So here we go. We got it, actually, Pee, we
got the hosting. Yep, he just posted it forty seconds ago. Uh,
Gavin Lucks to Cincinnati. Dodgers receive a competitive balance round
a pick.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
What that would be?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
It says that'll be around number thirty seven and the
outfield prospect Mike Sioda.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
So they just gave Gavin Lucks away.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Kate's Is that how we should read into that? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Saroda is a twenty one year old outfielder who is
in low low low minor leagues. Last year played baseball
at Northeastern. Was a third round pick just last June,
make that July when the draft happened of the Cincinnati Red.
So they get a low level minor league outfielder and
a pick in.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
The other sisionft is this the guy the Dodgers drafted originally?
It looks like he was originally drafted by the Dodgers
in the sixteenth round in twenty twenty one when he
was a high schooler. They went to college then he
went to college. The Reds got him out of Northeastern.
As you said, now.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
The Dodgers are coming back around again. This is for
the people of the Sun.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Five star.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It's gonna be five tool player, three twenty four average
over three seasons at Northeastern, selected by the Reds in
the third round last July.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
So we're gonna talk to David vasse in the very
next segment, will kill the top story of the day.
I'm not even gonna get to talk about my weekend.
Thanks a lot, Gavin Lock.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Do it here.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
We got we got a whole segment.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
To say I didn't do anything. It's fine, no, Matt,
we have other stuff to handle. We have other things
on the schedule. But it's just for the die of
the Sun. Yeah, but there's breaking news and things have
to die. And if Gavin Lux is going to die
and art.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
A stupid number of the day that nobody cares about, well.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I have a very important word of the day that
it's going to shape the week.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Hasn't been informed of the trade guys, and apparently he
flipped his cap off when he heard about it.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
So I'm just kid taking this cast.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Actually, we can have that part. We have the sound
of him being informed now Gavin Lutts. Of course, the
heartbreaking injury. He was going to be the shortstop. It
was everything sunshine and roses. This was in twenty twenty three,
right at the beginning of spring training. He had a
(03:40):
terrible leg injury while running from second to third if
I'm correct, out in Arizona. His leg flew clean off,
was washed up on the beach in Palace Verdes, was reattached,
was not himself for quite some time, and there was
a lot of question as to whether or not he
was going to be able to stay in the lineup.
(04:01):
But he did well enough for them to keep him
in the lineup throughout all the playoffs and all that,
and they needed him. And now he's gone. With his
small face and his Wisconsin ways, piggy nose and his
pug nose, absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Just makes you wonder why they couldn't get more for
Gavin lux You get a pick in a low level,
third round, minor leaguer.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Maybe they really have their eye on someone like they
have thirty seven A grades like, as long as we
can get to thirty seven, maybe Vic Wood, guys, we.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Want Vic the brick would say this is Lucks for
flotsam and jetsam. Yes he would, even though they have
come back around again to pick up that guy.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It's just for the people in the Sun.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And that was for the people of the Sun.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I mean, they could have traded Gavin Lux and others
to Milwaukee for reliever Devin Williams. You'll end up going
to the Yankees. But so yeah, I mean he could
have been part of a deal. Wisconsin boy goes home.
Now you can sell that.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
He did hit one for sixteen in the NLCS in
a World series.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, but he was there, he was competing, He was there,
he had his cap on the bright lights of the
World Series was just too big for him. Huh.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
He had just taken it off.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Well, good luck to everybody involved a big Dodger trade,
and we'll talk to David Vassy as to why this.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Happened and what is happening weird Man in.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
The very next segment. I'm sad for Gavin Lucks, but
these guys come and go. I mean, Walker Bueller was
heroic in the World Series and now he's gone, so
everything must change. Winter turns to spray.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
You know, he's happy about this trade. Freddie Freeman. He's like, man,
I don't have picked the ball anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
But first, oh, fair point.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Oh did I hear calling ye laughing and mocking Gavin Locks?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I was called he likes the chuck now Block style humor.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
That is not cool, guys, Sax and Kate's and the
am would not do that. We all know that.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Well, Colin's just laughing along with it. Kates is the
one that said it. But I'm still gonna hold you culpable, Colin.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I didn't think that was nice.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I heard you laughing and I didn't think that was nice.
All right, It's time for the word of the day.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
His words. The word of the day, Okay, Matt.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Today's word of the day is substructions. Yeah, substructions. Do
we have the intro obstructor? Oh? Come on, you love it?
You love it, just like that chick when you started
speaking Italian. I love it. But there's totally intros for it.
(06:48):
There's no intro for this. There is, Matt, there is,
there is Yeah, you a hoole. It's very high brow,
very It's about Lars vont Treer exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Really, guys, I didn't know we had an open for it.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I texted you about it. I mean, I know Gavin
Lux is a big trade, but come on, we'll fine.
I'll explain it all, even though we have an open
It's based on two legendary filmmakers, Lars von Trier and
Jurgen Left, and the film is called The Five Obstructions.
(07:23):
It is conceived of basically challenges obstructions imposed on Left
by von Trier, and that is what we do when
Matt travels with the Chargers for the playoffs. We don't
give him five obstructions because that's too many, but we
usually come up with a couple here and there. It's
(07:47):
always a good time, and there is an intro for it,
and I truly resent that we don't have it because
there's a total. It really sneaks me down have hidden it.
But anyway, some highlights of obstructions over the years. Obviously
not a lot of wins, because the Chargers have not
(08:07):
won a lot in the playoffs, at least since Matt
has been the voice of the Bolts. They have won
a couple one two Tree. But we sent Matt to
Jacksonville for some obstructions and he came back very bitter
because of the way the game went, which is understandable,
but happier times even though the Chargers didn't win. We
sent him out to New England for a Narragantis beer,
(08:31):
Narroganst beer, and for a yeah we and we sent
him to Baltimore for the Natty Bow, the National Bohemian beer.
So we have done some things. Do we have posed Grave?
A post Grave? Sent you to post Grave and the hood? Well,
I can't control the weather.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
The Milton Bradley headquarters that might have been Providence.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Do we have any of that? Cads?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
All right, Pee, I'm here with Glenny. So I say
this whaler beer that I got to find for some
Rhode Island beer. Does that sound like a Rhode Island
beer to you? Glenn? Yeah? Yeah? But what about this
that I got instead? Here? You want to hold that
for me? Do you mind? What is that there? Naraganst
and what is in nar against it? It's a Naraganst
bit and that's from island. That's Rhode Islandganster Rode Island.
(09:15):
If I got to find a Rhode Island beer, this
is the way Rhode Island did. All right, fine, my man,
Glenn againsty beer, and then we have both Rhode Island.
Be we have some one Edgar Allen pose Grave there
is here. It's rain.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I'm in the middle of downtown Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Ray, thanks a lot, being very upset.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
DJ.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
This is This is obstruction number two. Does this qualify
as a crab cake to you?
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah, that fans looking at it.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
But once you get the forecast and get a little
look in there, a little close.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Up there, a little investigation. Right, you're darn right. It's
a cramp, all right, darn right. Obstruction number there we go,
find a spot from the wire. Mayor Royce, Mayor Carcetti.
They did their business right there at city Hall. So
that makes it three. All right, fantastic, not raining his
bad so doing all right here? All right. So I'm
just walking around Baltimore trying to find Ray Lewis. I
(10:12):
don't know, it's kind of a dreary day. Oh what
do you know?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
It's Ray Lewis.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Thought this was going to be the tough one.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Oh and I sent you for five for come down.
That was all.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Here we go, Obstruction number five. Get the natty bow,
got the natty bou got the natty bow. Yeah, we
all get up.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I wanted to send you. Obviously, you guys are going
to Houston, and I've started thinking about it. I don't
have to get it all figured out to Wednesday, but
I started thinking about it, and the first thing I
thought about was Townsman's Ant, who was a great weird
kind of American country singer who was followed around by
people like Emi, Lou Harris and Steve Earle. He was
(10:57):
a heroin addict and a drunk and he slept on
couch is despite being an heir to a Texas fortune
and a very famous fort Worth family. And he had
a very famous album called Live at the Old Quarter
in Galveston, which I looked up, and that is still
a music venue in Galveston. It is fifty miles away.
(11:19):
I'm not going to do that. But the oldest building
in Houston. There's also a wine and beer bar, and
it is downtown. It is apparently a piece of living
history La Carafe, and it's a candlelit tavern. It hasn't
(11:39):
changed in one hundred and twenty five years, and it
only serves wine and beer and they ring you up
on an antique cash only register, and it's got a
jukebox with Edith Poff Django, Reinhardt and Hank Williams. So
that's obstruction number with that. Yeah, well you have to
go I don't care. It's I don't care eight one
(12:06):
three Congress Street and it's downtown, so you should be
okay for that. Uh La Cafe the oldest building and
restaurant and bar though it is beer and wine only,
but you're a beer drinker, so that should be fine. Right.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
That sounds great? All right, that's what a lot better
than having to go to Galveston.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
The Old Quarter and the Quarter I'm getting, but.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
You're still thinking about putting that on me having that
drived fifty miles away.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I'm getting a lot of texts about the wing strip
club game in Houston, and apparently it's real strong.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
So I'll tell you funny. So, my one of my
high school friends is like the strip club magnate Houston.
He is Ricks Cabaret, and my buddy Rick that I
grew up with and was a complete degenerate. I have
no idea how he became the strip club king of Houston,
but yeah, Rix Cabaret is his.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Well at s Obstruction number two, get yourself a free
lap dance here, Rick, Here we go. Matt, we got
the number of the day. Gavin Luz is gone, and
we got the number of the day. Here's my number.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Number of the day.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Number the day is one twenty five, one hundred and
twenty five dollars. The cees followed the chargers into Las Vegas.
Chargers raiders, Huge, huge event, giant draw hotels, held electronics thing,
consumer electronics show.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, big show.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
It's always wild. It's the biggest, one of the biggest
conventions of any industry in America in a given year.
And of course consumers pay close attention to it because
we like technology, and we like fancy things that are
supposed to make our lives easier. And the first I
guess hot item item you know, causing a stir a
(13:59):
lot of the tech journalists, the tech columnists are writing
about this one particular thing that has raised its hand
early Hello from Japan, the not kuran ichibon, but the
Kirin electric salt spoon. It is one hundred and twenty
five dollars. And because some people have issues with high
(14:21):
sodium and the effects, the negative effects on your health
at having high sodium and your system may lead to
the electric salt spoon gives you a subtle electric shock
that mimics the taste of salt when you use it.
(14:42):
The journalists that have reviewed it so far say, yeah,
it works. Oh, let me, it takes takes a second
to get lower that blood pressure right, gets your timing right.
You got to hit it at a particular moment, right
when it hits your mouth, and it's just a quick pop.
I guess, and they say yes. In fact, the stimulation
does lead things to taste like they have a hint
(15:03):
as salt. So if you do have issues with the
sodium and the high sodium and the blood pressure and
all that comes with it, then perhaps this is something
which is already out there in Japan and will be
released to the US market this year. One hundred and
twenty five bucks Kieran's electric salt spoon. What if you
wanted more salt on your food but were opened to
(15:24):
a mild electric shock instead.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I don't know, it'd pretty interesting. Tim Keats has found
the obstructions open. Here we go from the twenty nineteen folder,
which was the first year we did it, when Anthony
Lynn was still the head coach of the Chargers. It
was labeled incorrectly. If I remember It is not the
most impressive intro that has ever been built on the
(15:49):
Petrosen Money Show. Probably could have been done better. But
here are the five obstructions of Matt Smith, inspired by
Lars bon Trier and Jurgen Leth, the intro that we
were looking for.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
We want to see what he can and what he
cannot do?
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Is he perfect enough or not?
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Entirely?
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Mad Money Smith on the road with the Chargers.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I would like to know something more about him.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Five obstructions.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
With the Perfect Human?

Speaker 4 (16:43):
This is the song of the day.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Yeah, today's song of the day is I'll be seeing
you by the Five Satins in honor of Gavin Luck
says we bid him farewell. We'll be seeing you Gavin
somewhere hitting sixth in Cincinnati. Wow in uh, you know,
at some one o'clock game where the Dodgers are winning
(17:07):
twelve to two.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
We'll see you go, ouch sono bitch hey Colin you're
a very experienced broadcaster. We got David Masse coming up next.
Why don't you send it to break.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
Get Davidvesse coming back right after this Petrick some money show.
We're going to four here on name five to seventy
LA Sports.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
All right, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Just go to the top of the hour and then
we'll pass it over to Adam Oslin for Clippers basketball.
Anything you miss you can always reliveya the podcast. We
already put an hour in the books. And then we
got the big breaking news p at the top of
the hour. Right before the top of the hour, Gavin
Lux traded to the Cincinnati Reds. And that is what
we get to right now.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Big breaking news, Matt, Big breaking news. What kind of
inquisitive look on Gavin Lux's face when they told him
he was being traded? David Vasse live.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Know, somebody who was barbecuing said, oh Lord, Jesus is
a fun on the stove talk.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
And then the smoke get me. I got Bruni sad.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
All Slot, the stove giveth and the stove taketh. David
Vasse fresh off and appearance on Spectrum Sportsnet lay you
can see him there tonight. Our Dodger reporter also on
MLB Network, the one and only ring wearing David Vasse
on Your Southern California Toyota did a celebrity hotline reacting
(18:36):
to the breaking news, Dave, are you surprised by this?
After they signed the High Song Kim.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
I am not surprised by this trade. It's a little
surprising that it's to the Reds. But this alleviates a
log jam up the middle on the infield for the Dodgers.
And let's not forget Mookie Betts is scheduled to play
at shortstop to start the year, but who knows how
that's going to go. And if it doesn't go the
way Mookie wants it to go, there's now a position
(19:06):
for him to stay on the infield, in that second
base And you got Tommy Edman who could play gold
Glove defense at second base. You got High Sung Kim
that could play second base, you got Chris Taylor that
could play second base. So Gavin Lux unfortunately was the
odd man out. And it also creates a forty man
roster spot for the Dodgers because they acquired a player
(19:28):
that's not going to be put on it.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
What do you do we know anything about Mike Sarota
or now.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
I know the Dodgers drafted him back in twenty twenty
one and he chose to stay in school. But that's
all I know about him.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
OK.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
So it'll could be another one of these questions like
Kartaya for the next three years.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Well, oh, I think it's just Gavin Lucks and Dave
were two of the biggest prospects that we've heard about
the Dodgers farm system for the last what seven years.
It feels like those were the two.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Right.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
That brings up the whole point that I've always made.
The minor leagues is there to help augment your major
league roster, no matter how good you think they are
in single A or Double A or Triple A. If
you have a chance to trade a player like that
to get an impact, proven major league player, you do
it because a lot of times they don't pan out
(20:22):
to be the guy that you thought they would be.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Well, I'm gonna defend my radio partner here because I'm
proud of him.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Thank you for the work that he's done. I take
a lot of incoming.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
But Gavin Lux was a pretty prize prospect by the Dodgers,
Like you said, Dave, and they seemed. And when he
became more than a prospect, a starter and all that,
an everyday player, it felt like they gave him a
lot of leash before they finally got rid of him.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Here a lot of leash going back to what twenty
nineteen when they gave him a chance to play center
field and took away at Matt's from Key k Hernandez.
And look, the reality is, Gavin lux was supposed to
be a shortstop. With the devastating injury he had a
couple of springs ago. He's a second baseman now. And
(21:09):
the reality in Gavin's defense as well, is that he
was an everyday second basement for the Dodgers last year,
and he played second base the majority of October on
a World championship team. So it's not like he was
a complete slop. He was a serviceable player. He was
a solid player. But the way the roster is constructed now,
(21:30):
with Tommy Edman signed up for the next five years
and already have won a Gold Glove at second base
among the names that I just mentioned there, there just
wasn't a spot for him anymore, especially with Mookie Betts.
I think this is where it really matters that Mooki
Betts is on the infield because eventually Mookie Bets will
be a second baseman.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
So well, I was going to say so to some degree,
this appeases is not the right word for Mookie. But
this is a product of Mooki no longer wanting to
play in the outfield and wanting to play in the infield.
But the more interesting question, Dave, sorry for the dietribe
there is you said it opens a forty man roster spot.
So what does that signal to you?
Speaker 5 (22:12):
It signals the Dodgers have another transaction in the works.
There's a lot of possibilities. It doesn't automatically mean tomorrow
Key K Hernandez is going to be signed. There's been
talk about them adding another big league reliever to their bullpen,
whether it's Tanner Scott or somebody else. And the Roki
Sazaki sweepstakes is on the horizon on January fifteenth, that's
(22:35):
when he can be signed. So it opens up the
spot for a number of different different options for Andrew Friedman.
Not necessarily Key K a Hernandez tomorrow, but I do
believe that KEYK will be on this Dodger roster at
some point in time. It just may not be automatically.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Now, So what is the best case scenario that you're
getting from Dodger fans, Dave, is that they want Societ
and they want Key k and then everybody can jail
till the spring.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
I do believe they need another arm in that bullpen,
and Dodger GM Brandon Gomes said that during the Teoscar
Hernandez press conference they want another reliever, whether it's Tanner Scott,
whether it's making a trade. But yeah, the two bigger
names that Dodgers fans will know is Rokie Sazaki and
keyk Hernandez. If the Dodgers get Sazaki and they bring
(23:29):
back keyk Hernandez and somehow, some way Lantanner Scott, I mean,
that's gonna be one of the all time off seasons
by any defending World Series champion.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Which, by the way, already is one of the better.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Off seasons of any other team out there.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Uh, Dave, the most important question I can ask about this,
I really felt like of all the players, Gavin Lux
was the most open to the idea of a hats
optional approach to playing baseball. Now that he is gone,
who do you think might take up that?
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Cause maybe O'toni.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
He takes off his helmet during every ad bat.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
He touches his hair every between every swing. That's a
great call we can get in front of. How do
you get FaceTime with it?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I think the problem is like it's only when he
goes to pitch right, because I can't get a helmet
off of him. You got to protect your head in
case you get bean right, So it's not like that's
gonna work. I gotta find somebody in the field.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Well, good luck to you when he's a good lound.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
I tambled that after the Chargers playoffs.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
This might have this might have died with Super Bowl,
with Lux's departure. Matt, your your campaign may have died
a terrible death, just a shocking death, Uh Dave. Other
than that, how are you.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Great?
Speaker 5 (24:50):
I'll be on Sports and at LA tonight at six
o'clock breaking news with John Hart, Toongue and Jerry Harriston Junior.
We're out here in Elson Gundo getting ready for the
show at six o'clock. I mean, a real preparation goes
into the show.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Are they all sitting around watching you right now?
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Exactly Jerry was actually demonstrating, uh, how to play the
position of shortstop. John Hart tongue's and deep thoughts right now,
one of the most gracious hosts he could ever find,
unselfish hosts out there. So got the control room, as
they like to say in the biz. On standby, Petros,
would you like to say hi to Jerry and John? Yeah,
(25:28):
Petros the money, John Petro, Hey.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Hard time, Yeah, joh heys money.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
What's up, Brah Jerry Hare j Hair?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
This is great, What an exciting time.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
I was excited to talk to Jay Hair as he
did when John got on the phone.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Now listen, I'll tell you very excited. We lose Gavin Locks,
but we have a reunion with our friends. It's kind
of like a funeral, you know, you get together with
people you haven't seen in a while. Money.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Money used to baby sitting me at Comiskey Park on
I was a kid when he was at bat.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Boy short story.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Hey, hey, Jay Hare, Uh you were in Cincinnati. Gavin
Lux is gonna be happy there, right, He'll have fun.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Listen.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
As far as hitting the baseball, he's gonna love hitting
in that stadium. That is a great place to hit,
So hopefully Gavin MUCKs really has that resurgon with the bat.
All right, speaking of that Petro, since you brought that up.
I had one of Gavin Lux's former Dodger teammates text me, Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
That's not Choura I like. I like Jay Hare's analysis
a lot better for the young man. You gotta say,
we love you, Dave and take you the hard ton. Yeah.

Had no scandals there. Tip off at five other than
his love for Noah Eagle Clippers versus t.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Wolves, p or Dead Guy Birthday of the Day. Van
McCoy penn hits and then said, I want my own
I want my own hit.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
He penned, he wrote some hits.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
He wrote some hits for US. Oh, there's fan. Allen
Clinton mccullochy would have an eighty five today. Born in
the District Washington, DC, started playing piano as a child,
sang in the church choir. By twelve, was already writing,
playing and performing originals. Made a little bit of noise,
got to deal with end records, but not enough to
deter him from heading to college. Howard University psychology major
(29:22):
did that for two years, but said, nah man, I
got to chase the dream. He dropped out and moved
to Philadelphia, started his own label, Rock and Records, and
put out a song called Hey Mister DJ, became a
local hit. He then started to manage the acts, the
biggest of which was Gladys Knight in the Phipps.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
That's a big act, it is.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
He wrote the song giving Up, big hit for Gladys
Knight and the Pips. He wrote Baby I'm Yours for
Barbara Lewis and I Get the Sweetest Failing for Jackie Wilson.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
I would be more all today, I'd be more familiar
with the former.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
In nineteen seventy five, though, he decided to chase that
rock star dream again for himself, and he was really
deep into the disco scene, so he put on an
album the time. You know, I'm gonna give the people
what they want. This guy Wind, it's the uh how
to win friends and influence people. It's not about what
I like, It's about what you like. Disco disco baby.
(30:27):
This song, The Hustle was the last song recorded and
an afterthought. You hear those stories all the time. Right.
Was not released as a single, but started getting some
play in the clubs and a man it took off
is I'm sure you can imagine. We all know. The
Hustle number one on both the Pop and R and
B Billboard Hot one hundred for weeks, number three in
the UK. The Hustle won the Grammy Song of the Era.
(30:51):
How about that The Hustle. It was the biggest disco
song of the year, one of the biggest ever We've
got elevators song.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Right.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
He did have some follow ups that took off in
clubs and the disco circuit, but did not break through
on the popper, R and B scene like The Hustle did. Sadly,
our man Van dropped dead heart attack, thirty nine years old.
Yeah Bummer in nineteen seventy nine at his home in Englewood,
New Jersey, Van McCoy the hustle.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Okay, Matt, Well, we'll stay with the young musical prodigies.

Jamacca News.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Sig ros Don Matt.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Today we celebrate Stephen McGregor, who is thirty five today.
Stephen McGregor sounds like a dirt Irish potato eater, but no,
he is the He's a black man and the son
of a legendary singer, Freddy McGregor. Freddy mcgrask. He his dad, Freddy,
(32:01):
Freddie McGregor's son and along with two other singers in
the family, Chino and Shema. Stephen called by The New
York Times a reggae veteran at the age of eighteen.
He goes by the name the Genius because Yeah, a
local radio DJ gave him the genius because when he
(32:24):
was like five years old, he started working in a
production studio. I'll give you that story. He is more
into songwriting and production than he is singing. His father,
Freddie McGregor, is the singer of one of the most
famous reggae songs of all time, Big Ship, which was
a huge international reggae standard and Freddy McGregor turned down
(32:45):
a deal with arrista Is and how you say, I
always say records And maybe that was a good thing
because he went and made the Big Ship label and
he built a home studio where De Genius found a
home since an early age. And they said they couldn't
tell he was in the studio because he was so short.
(33:06):
He could not be seen over the mixing death at
the age of five, like Preston Smith out there. Yeah,
And his first big rhythm for the dancehall world was
an Elephant Man tune also known as the Cartoon rhythm.
Him and his brother approached the elephant Man and not
(33:26):
John Merrick, the reggae singer one.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
He's bringing him extra pillows so he can.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Slip standing up. That was while he was in high school.
He did the Red Bull and Hennessy rhythm, and he
worked with all the stars. By the time he was
like twenty years old, he had done songs with ViBe's
Cartel Bounty Killer. He's done a bunch of albums or
big parts of the albums of Sean Paul, who's an
(33:53):
international star, and that broke him into the mainstream and
he won a Grammy for Drake on one of Drake's
albums before Kendrick Lamar canceled Drake Okay, and he worked
with Nelly for Tato Friend of Yours? Matt, is that right?
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (34:07):
You like a.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Birdun John Legend? You want to Grammy for John Legend?
Neo some jpop albums they've called him. Warner signed the
Genius in twenty nineteen. He's already got five Grammys even
Latin pop. Burner Boy, pretty dynamic guy.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (34:34):
And Matt, that's it? No more. Gavin lucks to kick around.
He's in Cincinnati and we'll talk more about it tomorrow
when we start at three o'clock. All right, speaking of reason,
what's reasonable? Clippers on a Monday, that's what you want? Yeah,
at four o'clock you won an hour long the pregame
because Kawhi Leonard's back and he's brought his sack. The
(34:57):
Clippers take on the tea Wools excited. Kawhi is gonna
