(01:01):
one hundred and eighty six yard day against the Raiders
in Week eighteen as the Chargers prep for the playoffs
against the Texans. Will join us in about an hour
and twenty minutes at the bottom of the five o'clock hour.
Chargers Texans, by the way, will not be in its
familiar spot ALT ninety eight point seven the Charger broadcast
with Daniel Jeremiah Shanafairna Meet. We'll be here on AM
five seventy along with KFI AM six forty, So from
(01:22):
Baja to the Canadian Rockies you should be covered on
the AM band. Kickoff at one thirty pregame at eleven
thirty on Saturday, Wildcard Round, Winter Advances, Loser season ends.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Speaking of the AM band, the kfi's got the latest
on the fire in Palisades, which is twelve hundred acres,
and we've been monitoring the television making fun of some
of our local leaders because that's what they deserve. But
we hope that everybody is okay in the situation. That's
why I was late talking to Tim Conway. Yeah, they're well,
(01:56):
they're not going to do coast to coast, not why
the Palisades could be in peril with the high winds coming.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Go to AM six forty KFI AM six forty for
all your fire cover.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
So Conway's got to get up early and do midnight
to three am.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Well they said ten to five am is going to
be a period of peril, right.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So Conway is going to be on overnight, and they're
trying to negotiate for wee Willie Winky to wake up
and turn on my mocking now and cover the fire
because he's right. Well, you know, Matt, I'm an expert,
and absolutely I wrote the movie backdraft for Kurt Russell.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, A lot of people don't know that. I thought
you just played acts. No, I was that film. It
was eleven right, I wrote backdraft. But but yeah, that's
what we were talking about. So every evasive action going
on down certainly you want to turn that doorbell down
there a.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Little bit that's on Colin. Colin's been a little hot
with the levels.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Well, the winds outside. I want to make sureybody hears it.
Did you ask the folks at KFI about the Super
Scooper They confirmed it was a Pacific Ocean.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Well, look, I'm getting text that says I'm here in
Castaic and the big fire planes are filling up as
we speak. Proof from Castaic suck at Kate's suck at Matt,
and he's sending in a bunch.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Of picture you go, I have no problem that numbers
in both Castaic and the Pacific Ocean. No, it's quite
possible they're in both. No way both locations. Are you
telling me there's not enough water in Castaic? They got
to go to the Pacific. I just feel like maybe
proximity wise to the Palisades Civic Ocean, you're going to
be considerably closer to the Palisades, which is on the
(03:27):
Pacific Ocean than Castaic, A little bit longer of a
commute to drop that water on the fire. If you
can exclusively only visit Castaic versus Pacific Ocean.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Well, I'll tell him you said that when I'm on KFI.
But I'm not going to talk about Castak. I'm not
even gonna mention the Pacific.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Woooo.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
They got dueling. Velma's here too, Matt. Two women that
look like Velma that are addressing people, and.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I think they're done. I think they're done. We got hugs.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Why they congratulating each other? There could be burning all night.
Don't congratulate each other. God do I hate local officials.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
That's why we watched Channel eleven. They don't have this
BS put on. Alex great flame. Yeah, Alex is a
great guy. He's not a douche at all. What happened
to the remote? I think Kate stole it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I'm surprised Gavin Newsom's there and Alex isn't all the
way up his ass.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Kate's what happened took the remote?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
It's time for the word of the day. Take a
turn with his words. The word of the day. Oh
my god, all right, today's word of the day is Catholicism.
We just talked to Brady Quinn, a prominent Catholic, about
(04:47):
another prominent Catholic, Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame coach, about a
prominent Catholic university, the University of Notre Dame. They're still
angry in Tempe, though, Matt though. They are surprised that
they put together one of the most remarkable seasons for
the Sun Devils of all time. And you have to
(05:08):
give them credit. Asu and Kenny Dillingham. The only exciting
college football playoff game of the eight that have been
played was played by Arizona State in text.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
One of the best playoff gas we've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Congrats to Scataboo and Sam Levitt and Kenny Dillingham. But
there is still a buzz on campus that Arizona State.
The fork was cheated. Oh the field goal, the targeting, Oh,
the targeting. Here is Father Rob Clement at the Newman
Center on last Sunday on campus in Tempe morning.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Everyone I know on behalf of Father Bruce, Father Q,
Deacon Rich, the sisters of life. I do want to
wish you all a very blessed and happy new year
and something near and dear of course to our hearts.
I'd like to express my thoughts on something.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It was targeting. Ah we added the fight song. They
didn't have the band at the church. That was just
some awkward laughing. But congratulations on a great year by
the Sun Devils. I called two of their games last
year and won this year. And I would have never
thought that they were going to be a college football
(06:19):
playoff team, not in a million years, Not in a
million years. You could offer me a million dollars and
I knew you're gonna come out here and ask me
about offense.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Steve Affer just called said they get a band at
Mass and we don't get with the basketball game.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Now we just spliced that in there.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Steve, are you watching Channel eleven?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah, that grocery card.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Oh, it's the Gelson's for a million dollars. I knew
you were going to come out here and ask me
about offense.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
They got different camera work on Channel eleven, Channel two
and KKEL were focused on the pressers from the talking
heads that populate our city halls and state assemblies. Channel
eleven's on the street. Channel eleven's telling you the real
state rogue shopping carts at the Gelson's.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Look at this. I live in anelou valley and they
also use a helicopter to suck up the water from
this little bitch ass man made lake up here. It's
the needle d of fires. President's right the ocean. Imagine
Kates type of the number of the day, here's my number.
Number of the day is one.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
That's a true story. As I exited the one thirty
four freeway at Buena Vista, how.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Are you going to how the people are gonna do
the four h five to get to the UCLA game tonight?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Backstreets, man, get off early?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
What are the backstreets Wilshire.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You're gonna have to get off prior to the ten.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
The back street is what Wilshire.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
You have to get off at ten takes the Pulvita
up cut up Wilshire and then get back in there.
You gotta stay off.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I'm gonna drop into the backset of sunset number. The
day is coming from the Soho house.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I exited the one thirty four at Buena Vista, made
my left to approach the iHeartRadio fourth floor to broadcast
this wonderful three and a half hours of radio, and
en route I found myself caught at the red light.
You get off the exit, you make a left on
a Buena Vista and then you get hit by a
light at Bob Hope right there, that's your first light
(08:14):
after you make the left. As I was waiting for
that light to turn green, and the Santa Anna's were
whipping and there were leaves being blown in a cyclone
like manner.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, well, it's not a wind that just blows in
a certain direction.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
No, imagine my surprise as the corner house right there
emerged a woman with a leaf blower was blowing the leaf.
Oh wow, so you thought report, No, she has decided
that while all of this wind and all of these
leaves are moving around. I don't like that they're ending
(08:52):
up on my porch. So I'm gonna stand out here
in the midst of fifty to seventy mile an hour
gusts in the Santa Anna's trying to use my cordless
steel leaf blower to clear my porch.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
It reminds me of like having a toddler or something
and they're eating and it's like, after every bite they take,
if you wipe their mouth, you know, you just should
just wait till they wait till the end, and it's like,
you know, just wipe it all up at once.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
She caught me laughing at her. I just began to chuckle.
I think it was kind of And she's blowing leaves
and there a truly encircling her in the moment, and
righting that little enclave of hookers that live on that
right off the freeway you go under the all call girl?
(09:42):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
How I imagine it? Right by the lot, Matt, right
by the lot.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
You know, it was impressive.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Good for her, she get mad at you? Did she
make a did she skin up her face?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I think she may have questioned what she was doing
more than skin up her face.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I think she was like, like, what are you doing,
you idiot?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yeah? Like what, I keep blowing the leafs off the
porch and they keep showing up. You're peeing in the wind,
peeing in the wind. Let it go, Colin.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
You know the song of the day.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Today's song of the day is Against the Wind by
Bob seeger An. In usually blustery day in southern California,
we continue great sports talk on the Petros and Money Show,
and we pray for the people in Palisades and just
hope everyone stays safe out there.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Hey you Colin, beautiful, No injuries report it? Hey Colin,
you want to take it all the way to break? Oh?
I would love to im starting the day coming up next?
Speaker 6 (10:36):
Oh, let's go on the Petros In Money Show, walking
you up to UCLA basketball tip time at seven o'clock
on a five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Welcome back everybody for the latest on the Palisades fire
burning right now. Check out our sister station at kf
I AM six forty. They'll be on all night because
this is supposed to be an all nights situation. No
coast to coast tonight. That's that's not cool. It is
what it is.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Well, not the coast to coast, the on life situation.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Wow, bad fire and that's not cool. Number word song
of the day. We just did it. We're gonna talk
to Quentin Johnston in the next hour. We have quick kits.
UCLA is still gonna play, so we got that going on.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
You see, they're still gonna play.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Looks like they're gonna play Michigan tonight, so we'll air
that game. And right now it's time for the top
start the top story of it.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
You know, it's the off season, but we are your
home of the Dodgers. It's something caught my attention when
it joined us yesterday.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I wouldn't have had big news yesterday.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
The big news yesterday, Gavin Lux gets traded. David Vassi
joins us. I wouldn't say it was a throwaway comment,
but it was not the center of an answer to
a question or the center of the conversation. But uh
got the gears turning after the show a little bit.
There something we've talked about here before, something that has
been preached for as long as I've been on the radio.
(12:05):
Five years. Your favorite team wins a championship. Five year
Grace period. Half decade sounds like a long time, but
when you consider the Dodgers hadn't won a full season
World Series championships, it's eighty eight, thirty six years prior,
Lakers in twenty twelve years after an eighty eight title,
and with the twenty twenty being a bubble championship with
(12:25):
no parade. It's not that we don't count, it just
would be nice to get something going for the first
time since twenty ten. That's fifteen years ago. Kings are
now over a decade since their last Stanley Cup, the
Angels still twenty three years from their last World Series
win two thousand and two. So five years you cut
your favorite team some slack, you got your title and
(12:46):
shifting back to baseball, when you just look at World
Series winners, it's not easy. Dodgers won this past year.
Prior to that, Rangers Astros, Braves, Dodgers in the Globe Bubble, Nationals,
Red Sox Astros for a second time, in Cubs, Royals.
That's the last ten winners, Astros twice, Dodgers twice, and
(13:07):
a bunch of different champions. Five years is nothing. You
think about the Giants they last won the World Series
eleven years ago. It does not feel that long because
they won in ten, twelve, and fourteen.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
And Buster Posey and all those giant mad bums flexing
so hard.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
But that was eleven years ago. Cardinals won in two
thousand and six, again in eleven. They're on a fourteen
year droughout. The Mighty Cardinals, the Cardinal Way Phillies. It
feels like every year we go into the postseason with
the big seam head faces screaming at the TV that
the Phillies are in line to win it all, that
they have the best starters, they have the best bullpen,
they have the power hitters. They have not won since
(13:47):
two thousand and eight, the Yankees since two thousand and nine,
fifteen years ago.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Even after we were told Bryce Harper now, you didn't
get him and it ruined everything for the.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Dodgags the Phillies now, so five years seems like a
perfect grace pier. Before you start questioning your season ticket
price increases, You get a little antsy because your favorite
players now past his prime. Wonder if year five is
going to be year ten before you blink, And oftentimes
it happens because in order to win the World Series organizations.
(14:18):
Owners got to push the chips to the center. You
got to spend money like the Rangers did last offseason.
You got to strike when your young players become old
enough to finally get it to be consistent, to be
playoff ready. And then the front office has to typically
make bold trades at the deadline that ravage the farm system,
take precious prospects that were at most a year or
(14:40):
two away from getting their chance at being part of
the big league club, and then you got to start
that process over again. So it makes sense in baseball
that once you win, more often than not, it's hard
to do it again. The Astros felt like last year
was their final shot in their window of when they
two and had been there another two times. Hell of
(15:02):
a run. But when Dave joined us yesterday to talk
about the Gavin Lux trade with this year's Dodgers following
a World Series title, it's crazy. It is unprecedented what
we are seeing this offseason. It's a hell of an
off season. There's no money coming off the books. It's
not a thirty five million dollar Mookie Bets salary or
(15:24):
Freddie Freeman's retiring or Kershaw was making thirty million bucks.
Last year, so they get that in their pocket. They
won the World Series last year with a two hundred
and forty million dollar adjusted dollars payroll. Right now they
are projected to be a two hundred and seventy two
million bucks thirty two million dollars more than their salary
(15:46):
last year when they won the World Series. And this
is another reason why so many different teams and so
many different leagues rotate when it comes time to raise
the trophy at the end of the season. Owners typically
after a championship line their pockets. Championship means at least
two seasons minimum of season ticket increases, of merch increases
(16:09):
of concession parking, all increases and sellouts because teams recognize
that people that weren't part of it the first time around,
that couldn't afford it in the postseason are trying to
get that leftover sensation. They want to be in the
ballpark so they can really make a freaking haul and
not pump it back into the team and no one's
(16:29):
gonna question them for it. So in order to maximize
their profits, rarely will you see owners jump payroll. Typically
they'll cut under the guise of, hey, you know we overspent.
We made sure that no expense was spared because we
saw our window and we wanted to deliver a championship
to you the people, and that's what we did. And
(16:49):
now you know, I'll hit the reset button. We'll figure
some things out. Move this over here and this over there.
We may have to get young mid play some of
these young guys that have been waiting their turn, and
that's typically how it goes. But instead, I mean double down.
It's crazy, double thirty two, almost thirty three million bucks
in salary, after having the most fans in baseball, play
(17:12):
the highest pay the highest prices, second to the Yankees
in baseball, to pack that stadium night after night. We
know what it's meant for our radio station, what it's
meant for our partners that advertise my mayan.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
We are carrying the cluster.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
The impact that shoey Otani has by himself. You could
sit back and just cash that check for the next
five years and I'd have to worry about a damn thing.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Instead, the Dodgers can suckle that for years, exactly right
right in your face. Uh, this group has improved it's
roster this offseason. We don't know what it's going to
look like on the field, especially in the playoffs, if
it guarantees another World Series championship. We know baseball's a crapshoot.
We say it when they lose, we'll say it when
(17:55):
they win. I'm pretty sure the Padres are still asking
themselves what they all happen in that Bowl pen game
that led them to getting booted from the playoffs in
Game five after leading two to one. But you're talking
about handing Blake Snell thirty six and a half million
dollars when you're already paying Tyler Glass now thirty two
and a half million bucks, and Yamamoto is just in
year two of that three hundred and twenty five million
(18:17):
dollar deal Otani is expected to pitch on top of it.
They could have said, well, you know, Otani's gonna come
back to the rotation and feel good about Glass now
and get him a fool head of Yamamoto's more acclimate.
Thirty six and a half million bucks for Blake Snell
when you already had all of that going for you
and now he's the ace. Can't you smell that Snell.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
On top of that? Michael Conforto. Michael Conforto is not
going to sell one more single ticket to a game
this season. He is not going to sell an extra beer.
He is not going to sell an extra parking spot,
an extra shirt. Not one Dodger fan is going to
come to a game that they weren't originally going to
(18:57):
attend because they signed my Michael Confordo.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
That thing you're gonna tell me is that no one
is going to watch a football game just because Tom
Brady's calling it. That's right, damn it. So why'd you
give him thirty seven and a half million bucks? Geez?
But they gave Michael Confordo seventeen million dollars. And then
when they did that, they could have simply said, oh,
you know what, Tayoscar was dragging his feet a little bit.
(19:22):
We understand his agent was looking for the best deal
out there and we wanted to try to go by
a scu Hey, you know, Conforido just kind of said
I'll take the money, and that's what our budget was.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
And we tell you, nobody would have said anything. And
then they bring back Tayoscar and they got two left
fielders now in their thirties that are each making seventeen
million bucks or more this season, Tommy Edmond got his extension.
But the comment I was referring to from David Vessey
was his saying the Dodgers aren't done. But the trade
of Gavin Lucks. He said, what this does is it
(19:52):
opens a forty man roster spot because of his prospect.
They took back who's not going to be on the
forty man roster, and the class a draft pick instead
of a major leaguer. It means they are not done.
So maybe it's Keik and they'll get him for a song.
Maybe it's Roki Sasaki. He's going to be incredibly affordable
because of how the rules work and his signing and
(20:12):
posting and all that sort of stuff, and that'll be
a blip on the radar screen of their financial commitments.
But if they're going to go eight figures for a
reliever like Tanner Scott on top of all of this,
it truly is unprecedented. And there's a reason why that
chick in Chicago in that car had that meltdown in
her front seat and started crying about the Dodgers getting
(20:35):
everything and how it's not fair. She very uh, it's
very upset, effected, very affected, because really it's not fair.
And I'm sure our friend Daniel Jeremiah's throwing his hands
in the air today with the widow arguing with the
two brothers over who gets to run the padres while
the Dodgers are probably gonna sign Roki Sasaki, and it's
completely unfair. This is unprecedented. It is harder to do
(20:59):
in basketball with the new apron that's been put in place.
It's hard to do in the NFL because of the
hard salary cap and players just getting injured in so
much dead money getting having the franchise be saddled with.
But it's a lot easier in baseball if you're willing
to write a check, and the Dodgers write one between
fifty and one hundred million bucks.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
So ultimately, throwing money around doesn't just make If throwing
money around was.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
It, Yankees would have won ten World Series in nineteen
nineties and the Mets. What it means is, I feel
like you can throw the whole five year grace period
out the wad. Throw it out, Matt, because something must
have gone wrong if you're listening to this and they
aren't in the thick of it, or.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
A bunch of things must have gone wrong.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
If you're listening to this, an absolute buzz saw and
a juggernaut. When we're talking around the trade deadline, you're
not gonna sign champion, No, Doug. They're gonna get it.
The rotation, the lineup, if Scott has added to the bullpen,
all of those things will be upgraded from last year's
World Series Championship tam And remember after the hiccup in
(22:02):
the divisional round against the Padres, they ripped through the
Mets and Yankees with little issue. And this team is
going to be way better than that team was last year.
If here is to their three highest paid players, if
you count Otani seventy million bucks being the eleventh highest
payroll in baseball, three players ahead of the Diamondbacks, Blue Jays, Giants, Cubs,
(22:27):
and Cardinals that would slot in behind them right now,
Kudos to those folks trade and Gavin Lux and his
two million dollar salary so they can open a spot
to perhaps sign a ten million dollar, if not fifteen
million dollar reliever to really put a button on this thing.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Fifteen million dollar reliever.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
You saw what he did to Otani. Why let him
be Otani's kryptonid on another team when you can put
him on your.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Team, Well, good luck. I mean, it feels like the
Dodgers wouldn't have to do anything, and everybody's still super
geeked up. Feels like the first time, and yet they
keep doing things, keep doing it more and more and
more high song.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I can flash the leather. Now we lose old friends.
We say flash the leather here La times guy says
slick fielding, that's what he uses. Well, we're much more
flash the leather all day. I guy can flash the
leather or oh he's a real slick fielder, you.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Know, Matt, I feel pretty terrible while I'm looking at
these fires right now. It reminds me of Vietnam. And
somebody just sent me my brother in law, Simon, like
agent orangebe Kunyado sent me a tech a song that
was called he used to play the guitar now he
plays the machine gun in Vietnam. And I listened to it.
(23:52):
I was like, this is the greatest song I've ever heard,
the oldest time. You know, I'm sorry that some of
you didn't lack our news coverage. Stay safe out there,
but Matt and I are always, always, always going to
be skeptical when local luminaries take the mic.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Remember, we're not covering the story. We're covering the news.
Cover comment that's covering the story. That's what money.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
You want the court story covered, go to.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
K you want to you want a commentary on the
coverage of the story, that's when you come here.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
And if you want a special on the electric spoon
that Tim Katz has in his ass, tune into Coast
to Coast tonight.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
You're not gonna be out of the West coast. I
see blackmore in the other room. O U c L
A game still on? Or no, it's on?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
All right? All right, all right, all right, all right,
that's that's hard now right, all right, we'll be right
back with some reaction. A lot of Castaic versus Pacific
Ocean smoke.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
One of the great rivalries in the Southland. All the
coverage of the Palisades fire twelve hundred plus acres, twenty
five thousand people affected, ten thousand plus structures affected can
(25:19):
be had at our sister station KFI AM six forty.
We are going to go to UCLA basketball. As it
stands right now, they will play that game at Pauly
Pavilion against Michigan. It'll tip off at seven pm. Pregame
will be at six thirty, so we'll be off a
half hour early.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
We got a flex alert two to five pm for
Clippers basketball against the Nuggets. They'll tip that off at
six and again, Chargers Texans will be here on AM
five seventy Saturday, kick off at one thirty. Also on
our sister station, KFIAM six forty kickoff at one thirty.
Pre game at eleven thirty. So KFI and KLACAM five
seventy LA Sports will have Chargers Texans playoff football this weekend.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
All right, Matt, We got a few text spirit texts line.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Brought to you by your sokel Toyota dealers.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
We make it easy. Alex from Channel eleven is on
his way to Newsolini's press or to use his face
as a stool. I'm sorry, what's that. Somebody's not happy?
Alex from Channel eleven really likes Gavin Newsom, the governor
who's in Palisades right now with the crisis and the fires.
(26:27):
I got to get in front of that microphone. Let
me ask you that, no, this is an honest question.
If there was a fire and Aloe Valley or Corona
or something does a governor show up? Or is it
because it's a bunch of rich people that live in palisades.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
It Listen, No, it could be the extent of the
fire that we're talking about thousands of structures that will
be burnt to the ground. I'm just saying, I know,
I think if a thousand structures burnt to the ground
in cat City, he might show up.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Well, they had all the mud and he didn't show up.
Ronnie said it was really bad. But you know that
was it terrible? You don't respect it. Remember Ronnie said
he was gonna be amspheric hurricane.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
As it was exactly right.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
My retired coastguardsman husband is dumbfounded by the idea that
fires can't be fought with saltwater. His exact words, what
do you think they used to put out the fires
on ships? Well, they're gonna let kostak, you idiot. They
used a stupid ass. This says it's castak, not the ocean.
I just saw it fly over. Tell Matt that Tesla's
(27:39):
are fine. Calm the hell down.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
It's going from the ocean as well.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
We're calm. You guys are making John and can sound
like civil servants get after their official asses.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yes, our negativity surrounding the Palisades fire was when the
city state and then the like.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
There's a fire burning, Stop congratulating each other. Hey, we
showed up. Yeah, what's your your job?
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Five?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Fire retardant is loaded at Ontario and San Bernardino airports,
But stupid Kates will say it's the ocean. Hey, Kates
broke the story. I know Kate's broke. Nobody had the
fire first. People want you to be right, that's right,
and Kate's was right. So there's fire in the palace
stage Shannon Farren.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Swamp watch, and I said, hey, you know it was
a fire going on.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Like swamp like drain the swamp. Yeah. When they talk
about the DC tell money, I don't think we can
use that word anymore. I think it's fire special needs.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
That's not okay, what that's not ok What I'm reading text,
this is the lad.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Kates found that wy it would be sweet if they
evacuated people to Marongo. That dude from Scrubs is going
to be pissed about that text. I didn't say anything
McKinley exactly how sweet would it be if they evacuated
people to Marongo? Instead of a local gym. Pretty sweetweet
ninety minutes away from wherever you are. Your house burned down.
(29:11):
But here's a Wahlburger. Here's the wonderful, soothing sounds of
a thousand slot machines.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I prefer the Frankenstein. WHOA, I didn't know you had
to touch the screen. Nobody told me you had to
touch the screen.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Kates, this is a real pin to your ure threat. Okay,
the Ospreys landed Burbank, the president lands at Lax, Osprey's
go to Lax, pick them up, bring the motorcade to
the Santa Mona, and bring to the motorcade at the
Santa Monica Airport.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
All right, they cleared that up.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
So it's actually a triangulation of airports that they use.
Samo Lax.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Now I did. I was playing golf at Old Ranch
one time when George W. Bush landed at the Joint
Forces training based down the Los Alamados. So they do
mix it up every now and then. Whether or not
Burbank is part of that, and Bob Hope gets to
welcome a president, I don't know, but I do know
for a fact that's not always Lax, because I saw G.
(30:15):
Dubb Land at the JFTV down there and Losal.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Yeah, and they don't pick up the water and Castaic either,
do they.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
I didn't say they didn't. I said they're definitely getting
water from the Pacific Ocean. There's multiple videos, and the
idea that salt water is going to melt tesla's is insanities.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
What happened you read it here with the hurricanes and
beat of Springs.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Exploded all the time. I feel like that would have
been a bigger story. Hey, you know when there was
a hurricane that spits salt water everywhere, there were teslas
that exploded, and my god, the power towers just began
to crumble.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
I heard if I could turn back time today at work,
and I spent literally like two hours trying to figure
out where I heard a verse with two guys belting
it out. I was googling movies and TV shows. I
even asked our co workers, and it finally dawned on
me that I was thinking of the post COVID Virtual
Summer Tour stop. An amazing tribute to Share from Petros
and money Everyone's favorite plastic horse face Share. Yes, we
(31:18):
sang that we were dancing on the tables. I believe
while singing if I could turn back the it was
you know what it was. I believe it was for
weren't you dressed as a sailor? I believe it was
for Pride Night at Dodger Stadium and we had our
kershaw jerseys tied up. Nobody loves pride more than.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Us exactly, and we were playing if I could turn
back time and dance into celibate.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Even though there was COVID, they still had pride exactly right.
The Fox lawsuit specifically mentions, you know this lawsuit the
people have been tweeting about. We haven't talked much about them.
The Fox lawsuits specifically mentioned spicy margaritos. Are we sure
Tim Kates is not involved? Do you like? Yeah, I'm
(32:02):
pretty sure that was tasty.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
That just throwing you off the trail talking to Colin
about Mike a Lotta's and Bloody Mary's when really it
was the spicy.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Mark Newsome ain't showing up for a fire and Apple Valley.
I agree. I believe if the destruction was at the
level that this help, I don't think so. I don't
think you don't think so. No, even if it was
potentially could spill over into the neighbor I don't I
(32:31):
don't want to do this. But when did they call
the uh the National Garden on the LA riots?
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Never the original La Riot, like the nineteen ninety two
LA Riots. I'm gonna well, when did they call the feds?
Kates would know. Well, Brian Suits was out there as
part of the reserve. They did call them in.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
But it took like a few days and they're like,
damn and the reason took a while, but it's uh,
but they called. But when we had the George Yoga.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Floyd, yes, in Santa Monica, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Well mid city more well, it was like Third Street
kind of by the grove, right, there was a protest
over there, and as you know, that's above the ten.
You know there's rich people that live around there, above
the tent, and the further you get above the ten, like,
they called the National Guard within like thirty seconds once
(33:24):
those crowds started to move toward Beverly Hills, as opposed
to like, oh, well you're inside the one ten and
the ten, you guys burning up your own stuffigure out,
We'll wait a few days. Yeah, I'm just.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Saying could also be timing. You know, it's gonna turn out.
It's got to look ahead. And you know he's turning out. Man,
he's looking ahead. It's presidential platform. Look at me. I'm
a man who's under control on the time of crisis.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Here i am. There's a picture of me looking at
the fire.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Got how sweet I look in my cool baseball cap
and my good hair.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
I think he was in town signing the building to
do something about the homelessness.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Is that right? Pierce College is an evacuation center for animals.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
If you're in Castaic, you're like, hey, leave our water here, man,
use that ocean water. What if we have a fire
right noose and may come and to save us. What
about the level of Lake Castak. We're in the midst
of a drop. What's up with the water table? Here?
Solving problems every day, that's what we do right here
on the Petrosis.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
It pertains to news coverage, no doubt of news.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Nobody's better than this.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
The news is coverage of news is what we do.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
I was just saying. They called the fans real quick,
like they're like, wait a minute, they're right by They're
right by the Beverly Center. My god, they're right by
the old Hard rock. There's rich people there, save the
Daily Grillan I don't care if they. I mean, you
could do whatever you want on Florence and Normandy but

one hundred and eighty six yard day against the Raiders
in Week eighteen as the Chargers prep for the playoffs
against the Texans. Will join us in about an hour
and twenty minutes at the bottom of the five o'clock hour.
Chargers Texans, by the way, will not be in its
familiar spot ALT ninety eight point seven the Charger broadcast
with Daniel Jeremiah Shanafairna Meet. We'll be here on AM
five seventy along with KFI AM six forty, So from
(01:22):
Baja to the Canadian Rockies you should be covered on
the AM band. Kickoff at one thirty pregame at eleven
thirty on Saturday, Wildcard Round, Winter Advances, Loser season ends.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Speaking of the AM band, the kfi's got the latest
on the fire in Palisades, which is twelve hundred acres,
and we've been monitoring the television making fun of some
of our local leaders because that's what they deserve. But
we hope that everybody is okay in the situation. That's
why I was late talking to Tim Conway. Yeah, they're well,
(01:56):
they're not going to do coast to coast, not why
the Palisades could be in peril with the high winds coming.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Go to AM six forty KFI AM six forty for
all your fire cover.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
So Conway's got to get up early and do midnight
to three am.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Well they said ten to five am is going to
be a period of peril, right.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So Conway is going to be on overnight, and they're
trying to negotiate for wee Willie Winky to wake up
and turn on my mocking now and cover the fire
because he's right. Well, you know, Matt, I'm an expert,
and absolutely I wrote the movie backdraft for Kurt Russell.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, A lot of people don't know that. I thought
you just played acts. No, I was that film. It
was eleven right, I wrote backdraft. But but yeah, that's
what we were talking about. So every evasive action going
on down certainly you want to turn that doorbell down
there a.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Little bit that's on Colin. Colin's been a little hot
with the levels.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Well, the winds outside. I want to make sureybody hears it.
Did you ask the folks at KFI about the Super
Scooper They confirmed it was a Pacific Ocean.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Well, look, I'm getting text that says I'm here in
Castaic and the big fire planes are filling up as
we speak. Proof from Castaic suck at Kate's suck at Matt,
and he's sending in a bunch.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Of picture you go, I have no problem that numbers
in both Castaic and the Pacific Ocean. No, it's quite
possible they're in both. No way both locations. Are you
telling me there's not enough water in Castaic? They got
to go to the Pacific. I just feel like maybe
proximity wise to the Palisades Civic Ocean, you're going to
be considerably closer to the Palisades, which is on the
(03:27):
Pacific Ocean than Castaic, A little bit longer of a
commute to drop that water on the fire. If you
can exclusively only visit Castaic versus Pacific Ocean.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Well, I'll tell him you said that when I'm on KFI.
But I'm not going to talk about Castak. I'm not
even gonna mention the Pacific.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Woooo.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
They got dueling. Velma's here too, Matt. Two women that
look like Velma that are addressing people, and.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I think they're done. I think they're done. We got hugs.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Why they congratulating each other? There could be burning all night.
Don't congratulate each other. God do I hate local officials.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
That's why we watched Channel eleven. They don't have this
BS put on. Alex great flame. Yeah, Alex is a
great guy. He's not a douche at all. What happened
to the remote? I think Kate stole it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I'm surprised Gavin Newsom's there and Alex isn't all the
way up his ass.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Kate's what happened took the remote?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
It's time for the word of the day. Take a
turn with his words. The word of the day. Oh
my god, all right, today's word of the day is Catholicism.
We just talked to Brady Quinn, a prominent Catholic, about
(04:47):
another prominent Catholic, Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame coach, about a
prominent Catholic university, the University of Notre Dame. They're still
angry in Tempe, though, Matt though. They are surprised that
they put together one of the most remarkable seasons for
the Sun Devils of all time. And you have to
(05:08):
give them credit. Asu and Kenny Dillingham. The only exciting
college football playoff game of the eight that have been
played was played by Arizona State in text.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
One of the best playoff gas we've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Congrats to Scataboo and Sam Levitt and Kenny Dillingham. But
there is still a buzz on campus that Arizona State.
The fork was cheated. Oh the field goal, the targeting, Oh,
the targeting. Here is Father Rob Clement at the Newman
Center on last Sunday on campus in Tempe morning.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Everyone I know on behalf of Father Bruce, Father Q,
Deacon Rich, the sisters of life. I do want to
wish you all a very blessed and happy new year
and something near and dear of course to our hearts.
I'd like to express my thoughts on something.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It was targeting. Ah we added the fight song. They
didn't have the band at the church. That was just
some awkward laughing. But congratulations on a great year by
the Sun Devils. I called two of their games last
year and won this year. And I would have never
thought that they were going to be a college football
(06:19):
playoff team, not in a million years, Not in a
million years. You could offer me a million dollars and
I knew you're gonna come out here and ask me
about offense.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Steve Affer just called said they get a band at
Mass and we don't get with the basketball game.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Now we just spliced that in there.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Steve, are you watching Channel eleven?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah, that grocery card.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Oh, it's the Gelson's for a million dollars. I knew
you were going to come out here and ask me
about offense.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
They got different camera work on Channel eleven, Channel two
and KKEL were focused on the pressers from the talking
heads that populate our city halls and state assemblies. Channel
eleven's on the street. Channel eleven's telling you the real
state rogue shopping carts at the Gelson's.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Look at this. I live in anelou valley and they
also use a helicopter to suck up the water from
this little bitch ass man made lake up here. It's
the needle d of fires. President's right the ocean. Imagine
Kates type of the number of the day, here's my number.
Number of the day is one.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
That's a true story. As I exited the one thirty
four freeway at Buena Vista, how.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Are you going to how the people are gonna do
the four h five to get to the UCLA game tonight?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Backstreets, man, get off early?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
What are the backstreets Wilshire.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You're gonna have to get off prior to the ten.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
The back street is what Wilshire.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
You have to get off at ten takes the Pulvita
up cut up Wilshire and then get back in there.
You gotta stay off.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I'm gonna drop into the backset of sunset number. The
day is coming from the Soho house.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I exited the one thirty four at Buena Vista, made
my left to approach the iHeartRadio fourth floor to broadcast
this wonderful three and a half hours of radio, and
en route I found myself caught at the red light.
You get off the exit, you make a left on
a Buena Vista and then you get hit by a
light at Bob Hope right there, that's your first light
(08:14):
after you make the left. As I was waiting for
that light to turn green, and the Santa Anna's were
whipping and there were leaves being blown in a cyclone
like manner.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, well, it's not a wind that just blows in
a certain direction.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
No, imagine my surprise as the corner house right there
emerged a woman with a leaf blower was blowing the leaf.
Oh wow, so you thought report, No, she has decided
that while all of this wind and all of these
leaves are moving around. I don't like that they're ending
(08:52):
up on my porch. So I'm gonna stand out here
in the midst of fifty to seventy mile an hour
gusts in the Santa Anna's trying to use my cordless
steel leaf blower to clear my porch.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
It reminds me of like having a toddler or something
and they're eating and it's like, after every bite they take,
if you wipe their mouth, you know, you just should
just wait till they wait till the end, and it's like,
you know, just wipe it all up at once.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
She caught me laughing at her. I just began to chuckle.
I think it was kind of And she's blowing leaves
and there a truly encircling her in the moment, and
righting that little enclave of hookers that live on that
right off the freeway you go under the all call girl?
(09:42):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
How I imagine it? Right by the lot, Matt, right
by the lot.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
You know, it was impressive.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Good for her, she get mad at you? Did she
make a did she skin up her face?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I think she may have questioned what she was doing
more than skin up her face.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I think she was like, like, what are you doing,
you idiot?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yeah? Like what, I keep blowing the leafs off the
porch and they keep showing up. You're peeing in the wind,
peeing in the wind. Let it go, Colin.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
You know the song of the day.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Today's song of the day is Against the Wind by
Bob seeger An. In usually blustery day in southern California,
we continue great sports talk on the Petros and Money Show,
and we pray for the people in Palisades and just
hope everyone stays safe out there.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Hey you Colin, beautiful, No injuries report it? Hey Colin,
you want to take it all the way to break? Oh?
I would love to im starting the day coming up next?
Speaker 6 (10:36):
Oh, let's go on the Petros In Money Show, walking
you up to UCLA basketball tip time at seven o'clock
on a five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Welcome back everybody for the latest on the Palisades fire
burning right now. Check out our sister station at kf
I AM six forty. They'll be on all night because
this is supposed to be an all nights situation. No
coast to coast tonight. That's that's not cool. It is
what it is.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Well, not the coast to coast, the on life situation.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Wow, bad fire and that's not cool. Number word song
of the day. We just did it. We're gonna talk
to Quentin Johnston in the next hour. We have quick kits.
UCLA is still gonna play, so we got that going on.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
You see, they're still gonna play.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Looks like they're gonna play Michigan tonight, so we'll air
that game. And right now it's time for the top
start the top story of it.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
You know, it's the off season, but we are your
home of the Dodgers. It's something caught my attention when
it joined us yesterday.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I wouldn't have had big news yesterday.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
The big news yesterday, Gavin Lux gets traded. David Vassi
joins us. I wouldn't say it was a throwaway comment,
but it was not the center of an answer to
a question or the center of the conversation. But uh
got the gears turning after the show a little bit.
There something we've talked about here before, something that has
been preached for as long as I've been on the radio.
(12:05):
Five years. Your favorite team wins a championship. Five year
Grace period. Half decade sounds like a long time, but
when you consider the Dodgers hadn't won a full season
World Series championships, it's eighty eight, thirty six years prior,
Lakers in twenty twelve years after an eighty eight title,
and with the twenty twenty being a bubble championship with
(12:25):
no parade. It's not that we don't count, it just
would be nice to get something going for the first
time since twenty ten. That's fifteen years ago. Kings are
now over a decade since their last Stanley Cup, the
Angels still twenty three years from their last World Series
win two thousand and two. So five years you cut
your favorite team some slack, you got your title and
(12:46):
shifting back to baseball, when you just look at World
Series winners, it's not easy. Dodgers won this past year.
Prior to that, Rangers Astros, Braves, Dodgers in the Globe Bubble, Nationals,
Red Sox Astros for a second time, in Cubs, Royals.
That's the last ten winners, Astros twice, Dodgers twice, and
(13:07):
a bunch of different champions. Five years is nothing. You
think about the Giants they last won the World Series
eleven years ago. It does not feel that long because
they won in ten, twelve, and fourteen.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
And Buster Posey and all those giant mad bums flexing
so hard.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
But that was eleven years ago. Cardinals won in two
thousand and six, again in eleven. They're on a fourteen
year droughout. The Mighty Cardinals, the Cardinal Way Phillies. It
feels like every year we go into the postseason with
the big seam head faces screaming at the TV that
the Phillies are in line to win it all, that
they have the best starters, they have the best bullpen,
they have the power hitters. They have not won since
(13:47):
two thousand and eight, the Yankees since two thousand and nine,
fifteen years ago.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Even after we were told Bryce Harper now, you didn't
get him and it ruined everything for the.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Dodgags the Phillies now, so five years seems like a
perfect grace pier. Before you start questioning your season ticket
price increases, You get a little antsy because your favorite
players now past his prime. Wonder if year five is
going to be year ten before you blink, And oftentimes
it happens because in order to win the World Series organizations.
(14:18):
Owners got to push the chips to the center. You
got to spend money like the Rangers did last offseason.
You got to strike when your young players become old
enough to finally get it to be consistent, to be
playoff ready. And then the front office has to typically
make bold trades at the deadline that ravage the farm system,
take precious prospects that were at most a year or
(14:40):
two away from getting their chance at being part of
the big league club, and then you got to start
that process over again. So it makes sense in baseball
that once you win, more often than not, it's hard
to do it again. The Astros felt like last year
was their final shot in their window of when they
two and had been there another two times. Hell of
(15:02):
a run. But when Dave joined us yesterday to talk
about the Gavin Lux trade with this year's Dodgers following
a World Series title, it's crazy. It is unprecedented what
we are seeing this offseason. It's a hell of an
off season. There's no money coming off the books. It's
not a thirty five million dollar Mookie Bets salary or
(15:24):
Freddie Freeman's retiring or Kershaw was making thirty million bucks.
Last year, so they get that in their pocket. They
won the World Series last year with a two hundred
and forty million dollar adjusted dollars payroll. Right now they
are projected to be a two hundred and seventy two
million bucks thirty two million dollars more than their salary
(15:46):
last year when they won the World Series. And this
is another reason why so many different teams and so
many different leagues rotate when it comes time to raise
the trophy at the end of the season. Owners typically
after a championship line their pockets. Championship means at least
two seasons minimum of season ticket increases, of merch increases
(16:09):
of concession parking, all increases and sellouts because teams recognize
that people that weren't part of it the first time around,
that couldn't afford it in the postseason are trying to
get that leftover sensation. They want to be in the
ballpark so they can really make a freaking haul and
not pump it back into the team and no one's
(16:29):
gonna question them for it. So in order to maximize
their profits, rarely will you see owners jump payroll. Typically
they'll cut under the guise of, hey, you know we overspent.
We made sure that no expense was spared because we
saw our window and we wanted to deliver a championship
to you the people, and that's what we did. And
(16:49):
now you know, I'll hit the reset button. We'll figure
some things out. Move this over here and this over there.
We may have to get young mid play some of
these young guys that have been waiting their turn, and
that's typically how it goes. But instead, I mean double down.
It's crazy, double thirty two, almost thirty three million bucks
in salary, after having the most fans in baseball, play
(17:12):
the highest pay the highest prices, second to the Yankees
in baseball, to pack that stadium night after night. We
know what it's meant for our radio station, what it's
meant for our partners that advertise my mayan.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
We are carrying the cluster.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
The impact that shoey Otani has by himself. You could
sit back and just cash that check for the next
five years and I'd have to worry about a damn thing.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Instead, the Dodgers can suckle that for years, exactly right
right in your face. Uh, this group has improved it's
roster this offseason. We don't know what it's going to
look like on the field, especially in the playoffs, if
it guarantees another World Series championship. We know baseball's a crapshoot.
We say it when they lose, we'll say it when
(17:55):
they win. I'm pretty sure the Padres are still asking
themselves what they all happen in that Bowl pen game
that led them to getting booted from the playoffs in
Game five after leading two to one. But you're talking
about handing Blake Snell thirty six and a half million
dollars when you're already paying Tyler Glass now thirty two
and a half million bucks, and Yamamoto is just in
year two of that three hundred and twenty five million
(18:17):
dollar deal Otani is expected to pitch on top of it.
They could have said, well, you know, Otani's gonna come
back to the rotation and feel good about Glass now
and get him a fool head of Yamamoto's more acclimate.
Thirty six and a half million bucks for Blake Snell
when you already had all of that going for you
and now he's the ace. Can't you smell that Snell.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
On top of that? Michael Conforto. Michael Conforto is not
going to sell one more single ticket to a game
this season. He is not going to sell an extra beer.
He is not going to sell an extra parking spot,
an extra shirt. Not one Dodger fan is going to
come to a game that they weren't originally going to
(18:57):
attend because they signed my Michael Confordo.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
That thing you're gonna tell me is that no one
is going to watch a football game just because Tom
Brady's calling it. That's right, damn it. So why'd you
give him thirty seven and a half million bucks? Geez?
But they gave Michael Confordo seventeen million dollars. And then
when they did that, they could have simply said, oh,
you know what, Tayoscar was dragging his feet a little bit.
(19:22):
We understand his agent was looking for the best deal
out there and we wanted to try to go by
a scu Hey, you know, Conforido just kind of said
I'll take the money, and that's what our budget was.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
And we tell you, nobody would have said anything. And
then they bring back Tayoscar and they got two left
fielders now in their thirties that are each making seventeen
million bucks or more this season, Tommy Edmond got his extension.
But the comment I was referring to from David Vessey
was his saying the Dodgers aren't done. But the trade
of Gavin Lucks. He said, what this does is it
(19:52):
opens a forty man roster spot because of his prospect.
They took back who's not going to be on the
forty man roster, and the class a draft pick instead
of a major leaguer. It means they are not done.
So maybe it's Keik and they'll get him for a song.
Maybe it's Roki Sasaki. He's going to be incredibly affordable
because of how the rules work and his signing and
(20:12):
posting and all that sort of stuff, and that'll be
a blip on the radar screen of their financial commitments.
But if they're going to go eight figures for a
reliever like Tanner Scott on top of all of this,
it truly is unprecedented. And there's a reason why that
chick in Chicago in that car had that meltdown in
her front seat and started crying about the Dodgers getting
(20:35):
everything and how it's not fair. She very uh, it's
very upset, effected, very affected, because really it's not fair.
And I'm sure our friend Daniel Jeremiah's throwing his hands
in the air today with the widow arguing with the
two brothers over who gets to run the padres while
the Dodgers are probably gonna sign Roki Sasaki, and it's
completely unfair. This is unprecedented. It is harder to do
(20:59):
in basketball with the new apron that's been put in place.
It's hard to do in the NFL because of the
hard salary cap and players just getting injured in so
much dead money getting having the franchise be saddled with.
But it's a lot easier in baseball if you're willing
to write a check, and the Dodgers write one between
fifty and one hundred million bucks.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
So ultimately, throwing money around doesn't just make If throwing
money around was.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
It, Yankees would have won ten World Series in nineteen
nineties and the Mets. What it means is, I feel
like you can throw the whole five year grace period
out the wad. Throw it out, Matt, because something must
have gone wrong if you're listening to this and they
aren't in the thick of it, or.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
A bunch of things must have gone wrong.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
If you're listening to this, an absolute buzz saw and
a juggernaut. When we're talking around the trade deadline, you're
not gonna sign champion, No, Doug. They're gonna get it.
The rotation, the lineup, if Scott has added to the bullpen,
all of those things will be upgraded from last year's
World Series Championship tam And remember after the hiccup in
(22:02):
the divisional round against the Padres, they ripped through the
Mets and Yankees with little issue. And this team is
going to be way better than that team was last year.
If here is to their three highest paid players, if
you count Otani seventy million bucks being the eleventh highest
payroll in baseball, three players ahead of the Diamondbacks, Blue Jays, Giants, Cubs,
(22:27):
and Cardinals that would slot in behind them right now,
Kudos to those folks trade and Gavin Lux and his
two million dollar salary so they can open a spot
to perhaps sign a ten million dollar, if not fifteen
million dollar reliever to really put a button on this thing.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Fifteen million dollar reliever.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
You saw what he did to Otani. Why let him
be Otani's kryptonid on another team when you can put
him on your.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Team, Well, good luck. I mean, it feels like the
Dodgers wouldn't have to do anything, and everybody's still super
geeked up. Feels like the first time, and yet they
keep doing things, keep doing it more and more and
more high song.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I can flash the leather. Now we lose old friends.
We say flash the leather here La times guy says
slick fielding, that's what he uses. Well, we're much more
flash the leather all day. I guy can flash the
leather or oh he's a real slick fielder, you.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Know, Matt, I feel pretty terrible while I'm looking at
these fires right now. It reminds me of Vietnam. And
somebody just sent me my brother in law, Simon, like
agent orangebe Kunyado sent me a tech a song that
was called he used to play the guitar now he
plays the machine gun in Vietnam. And I listened to it.
(23:52):
I was like, this is the greatest song I've ever heard,
the oldest time. You know, I'm sorry that some of
you didn't lack our news coverage. Stay safe out there,
but Matt and I are always, always, always going to
be skeptical when local luminaries take the mic.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Remember, we're not covering the story. We're covering the news.
Cover comment that's covering the story. That's what money.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
You want the court story covered, go to.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
K you want to you want a commentary on the
coverage of the story, that's when you come here.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
And if you want a special on the electric spoon
that Tim Katz has in his ass, tune into Coast
to Coast tonight.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
You're not gonna be out of the West coast. I
see blackmore in the other room. O U c L
A game still on? Or no, it's on?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
All right? All right, all right, all right, all right,
that's that's hard now right, all right, we'll be right
back with some reaction. A lot of Castaic versus Pacific
Ocean smoke.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
One of the great rivalries in the Southland. All the
coverage of the Palisades fire twelve hundred plus acres, twenty
five thousand people affected, ten thousand plus structures affected can
(25:19):
be had at our sister station KFI AM six forty.
We are going to go to UCLA basketball. As it
stands right now, they will play that game at Pauly
Pavilion against Michigan. It'll tip off at seven pm. Pregame
will be at six thirty, so we'll be off a
half hour early.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
We got a flex alert two to five pm for
Clippers basketball against the Nuggets. They'll tip that off at
six and again, Chargers Texans will be here on AM
five seventy Saturday, kick off at one thirty. Also on
our sister station, KFIAM six forty kickoff at one thirty.
Pre game at eleven thirty. So KFI and KLACAM five
seventy LA Sports will have Chargers Texans playoff football this weekend.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
All right, Matt, We got a few text spirit texts line.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Brought to you by your sokel Toyota dealers.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
We make it easy. Alex from Channel eleven is on
his way to Newsolini's press or to use his face
as a stool. I'm sorry, what's that. Somebody's not happy?
Alex from Channel eleven really likes Gavin Newsom, the governor
who's in Palisades right now with the crisis and the fires.
(26:27):
I got to get in front of that microphone. Let
me ask you that, no, this is an honest question.
If there was a fire and Aloe Valley or Corona
or something does a governor show up? Or is it
because it's a bunch of rich people that live in palisades.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
It Listen, No, it could be the extent of the
fire that we're talking about thousands of structures that will
be burnt to the ground. I'm just saying, I know,
I think if a thousand structures burnt to the ground
in cat City, he might show up.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Well, they had all the mud and he didn't show up.
Ronnie said it was really bad. But you know that
was it terrible? You don't respect it. Remember Ronnie said
he was gonna be amspheric hurricane.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
As it was exactly right.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
My retired coastguardsman husband is dumbfounded by the idea that
fires can't be fought with saltwater. His exact words, what
do you think they used to put out the fires
on ships? Well, they're gonna let kostak, you idiot. They
used a stupid ass. This says it's castak, not the ocean.
I just saw it fly over. Tell Matt that Tesla's
(27:39):
are fine. Calm the hell down.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
It's going from the ocean as well.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
We're calm. You guys are making John and can sound
like civil servants get after their official asses.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yes, our negativity surrounding the Palisades fire was when the
city state and then the like.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
There's a fire burning, Stop congratulating each other. Hey, we
showed up. Yeah, what's your your job?
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Five?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Fire retardant is loaded at Ontario and San Bernardino airports,
But stupid Kates will say it's the ocean. Hey, Kates
broke the story. I know Kate's broke. Nobody had the
fire first. People want you to be right, that's right,
and Kate's was right. So there's fire in the palace
stage Shannon Farren.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Swamp watch, and I said, hey, you know it was
a fire going on.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Like swamp like drain the swamp. Yeah. When they talk
about the DC tell money, I don't think we can
use that word anymore. I think it's fire special needs.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
That's not okay, what that's not ok What I'm reading text,
this is the lad.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Kates found that wy it would be sweet if they
evacuated people to Marongo. That dude from Scrubs is going
to be pissed about that text. I didn't say anything
McKinley exactly how sweet would it be if they evacuated
people to Marongo? Instead of a local gym. Pretty sweetweet
ninety minutes away from wherever you are. Your house burned down.
(29:11):
But here's a Wahlburger. Here's the wonderful, soothing sounds of
a thousand slot machines.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I prefer the Frankenstein. WHOA, I didn't know you had
to touch the screen. Nobody told me you had to
touch the screen.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Kates, this is a real pin to your ure threat. Okay,
the Ospreys landed Burbank, the president lands at Lax, Osprey's
go to Lax, pick them up, bring the motorcade to
the Santa Mona, and bring to the motorcade at the
Santa Monica Airport.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
All right, they cleared that up.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
So it's actually a triangulation of airports that they use.
Samo Lax.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Now I did. I was playing golf at Old Ranch
one time when George W. Bush landed at the Joint
Forces training based down the Los Alamados. So they do
mix it up every now and then. Whether or not
Burbank is part of that, and Bob Hope gets to
welcome a president, I don't know, but I do know
for a fact that's not always Lax, because I saw G.
(30:15):
Dubb Land at the JFTV down there and Losal.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Yeah, and they don't pick up the water and Castaic either,
do they.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
I didn't say they didn't. I said they're definitely getting
water from the Pacific Ocean. There's multiple videos, and the
idea that salt water is going to melt tesla's is insanities.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
What happened you read it here with the hurricanes and
beat of Springs.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Exploded all the time. I feel like that would have
been a bigger story. Hey, you know when there was
a hurricane that spits salt water everywhere, there were teslas
that exploded, and my god, the power towers just began
to crumble.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
I heard if I could turn back time today at work,
and I spent literally like two hours trying to figure
out where I heard a verse with two guys belting
it out. I was googling movies and TV shows. I
even asked our co workers, and it finally dawned on
me that I was thinking of the post COVID Virtual
Summer Tour stop. An amazing tribute to Share from Petros
and money Everyone's favorite plastic horse face Share. Yes, we
(31:18):
sang that we were dancing on the tables. I believe
while singing if I could turn back the it was
you know what it was. I believe it was for
weren't you dressed as a sailor? I believe it was
for Pride Night at Dodger Stadium and we had our
kershaw jerseys tied up. Nobody loves pride more than.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Us exactly, and we were playing if I could turn
back time and dance into celibate.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Even though there was COVID, they still had pride exactly right.
The Fox lawsuit specifically mentions, you know this lawsuit the
people have been tweeting about. We haven't talked much about them.
The Fox lawsuits specifically mentioned spicy margaritos. Are we sure
Tim Kates is not involved? Do you like? Yeah, I'm
(32:02):
pretty sure that was tasty.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
That just throwing you off the trail talking to Colin
about Mike a Lotta's and Bloody Mary's when really it
was the spicy.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Mark Newsome ain't showing up for a fire and Apple Valley.
I agree. I believe if the destruction was at the
level that this help, I don't think so. I don't
think you don't think so. No, even if it was
potentially could spill over into the neighbor I don't I
(32:31):
don't want to do this. But when did they call
the uh the National Garden on the LA riots?
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Never the original La Riot, like the nineteen ninety two
LA Riots. I'm gonna well, when did they call the feds?
Kates would know. Well, Brian Suits was out there as
part of the reserve. They did call them in.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
But it took like a few days and they're like,
damn and the reason took a while, but it's uh,
but they called. But when we had the George Yoga.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Floyd, yes, in Santa Monica, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Well mid city more well, it was like Third Street
kind of by the grove, right, there was a protest
over there, and as you know, that's above the ten.
You know there's rich people that live around there, above
the tent, and the further you get above the ten, like,
they called the National Guard within like thirty seconds once
(33:24):
those crowds started to move toward Beverly Hills, as opposed
to like, oh, well you're inside the one ten and
the ten, you guys burning up your own stuffigure out,
We'll wait a few days. Yeah, I'm just.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Saying could also be timing. You know, it's gonna turn out.
It's got to look ahead. And you know he's turning out. Man,
he's looking ahead. It's presidential platform. Look at me. I'm
a man who's under control on the time of crisis.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Here i am. There's a picture of me looking at
the fire.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Got how sweet I look in my cool baseball cap
and my good hair.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
I think he was in town signing the building to
do something about the homelessness.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Is that right? Pierce College is an evacuation center for animals.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
If you're in Castaic, you're like, hey, leave our water here, man,
use that ocean water. What if we have a fire
right noose and may come and to save us. What
about the level of Lake Castak. We're in the midst
of a drop. What's up with the water table? Here?
Solving problems every day, that's what we do right here
on the Petrosis.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
It pertains to news coverage, no doubt of news.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Nobody's better than this.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
The news is coverage of news is what we do.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
I was just saying. They called the fans real quick,
like they're like, wait a minute, they're right by They're
right by the Beverly Center. My god, they're right by
the old Hard rock. There's rich people there, save the
Daily Grillan I don't care if they. I mean, you
could do whatever you want on Florence and Normandy but
cheez less sneeze flip top and then John Johnston the Receiver.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah, Quin Johnson to join us, all right,
