Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Welcome to Monday, October twenty one. Shannon's live today in
the beautiful city of Glendale, Arizona.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I am at the stadium, a top of the field
here at State Farm Stadium.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
The roof is closed.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I'm told it will be open for the game that
nobody will see because it's on ESPN Plus.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Right, So listen to the radio nine eight seven.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I guess you say it's a double header tonight for
Monday night football. But that Chargers Cardinals game is the
second of the two games. About six o'clock is kickoff.
But the first one is Baltimore at Tampa Bay. A
couple of four and two teams. Also that listen. Football
takes a sidelight at least for now.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Alviris Wings so bouncer a second. Taylor has it.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
In the globe.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
It's over. It's over. The Dodgers win the Pennant.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Champions of the National League in twenty twenty four. The
Dodgers are going back to the World theory.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
A lot of smiles in the hallways today here because
obviously our sister stationed down the hall Am five seventy
LA Sports KLAC is the home of the Dodgers, and
they get to at least four more games.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
You don't sound super smiley.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Oh, actually, this is the way I think going into
the playoffs. This is probably the way that as a
baseball fan, you wanted it to go, because there's nothing
better than having two absolutely pre eminent teams meet in
the World Series. There's nothing better than that. It's the
first time in what forty three years that the Dodgers
(01:40):
and Yankees have met in the World Series.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
So I love that part of it.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I was at dinner last night and I said, this
is the network's wet dream, And then I apologized right
away for saying that. I'm like, who am I Donald Trump?
What's going on? Who uses that term anymore? It doesn't
even make sense anymore, But it's true. I mean, this
is what the TV networks want, is what the people
that's selling the merch want. There's gonna make a lot
(02:03):
more money than you know, Milwaukee and I don't know Montreal.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
If it was a Milwaukee Cleveland World Series, it definitely
would not have had the same no, So that's great.
First game of the World Series is Friday night. We'll
actually be talking with Tim Kates, one of the smiling
gest guys in the hallways today, the host of Dodger Talk,
and he gets to get up early for the next
few days because they do special programming whenever the Dodgers
make their way to the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Can we just talk about Tim Kates and how emotionally
he got through this NLCS by just off the air
talking about, Oh, we're going to lose tonight. There's gonna
be no offense. Oh we're going to lose tonight. I mean,
because all fans do this. We all do this just
to protect ourselves.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
It's a defense mechanism.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Right man. Then you see when the team does win.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I mean, we saw people in the streets of la
last night after the Dodgers beat the Mets to advance
the World Series.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
They were running through the streets back in fools. But
that's that's what they do.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Back to genitals.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Arnold Palmer got a lot of press over the weekend
thanks to Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, Arnold Palmer, I guess was packing heat like Milton Burrell.
And for some reason, Donald Trump knows that how do
men know this?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I guess what are you doing looking around?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
His point was that it was we'll play the we'll
play the clip for you after the after the break.
But I guess he's talked to people who talk to
people who've taken showers with Arnold Palmer.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I don't run in the circles of men talking about
other men's genitals. But I just think it's a weird
it's a weird conversation topic.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Well, it depends.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Would be weird.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I would say this, there is a there is a
certain there there would be a certain.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Gosh, how do I say this? There would be a certain.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Level of impact. Perhaps, Really that would garner conversation. Ninety
eight maybe ninety nine percent of the time, no one's
talking about anything. It's not right. You're not, you know,
showing anybody anything that is unusual. Right, But those times
when someone's like, hey, did somebody leave.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Here?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Okay, then yes, I suppose that would garner some sort
of conversation.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, but you don't talk about it in public, and
certainly not to the masses.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Right, it's like.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
A hush, hush, Well the guy's gone.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I mean, that's the that's the other thing is he's dead.
That's the other day. That's what I like you're saying
it was. It was inconsequential. I guess you're not throwing
dirt on the man's grave.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
We are now fifteen days out from the elections, which
means that we will see campaign events all day, every
day between now and November fifth. In fact, right now,
the split screen between CNN and Fox News CNN is
showing an event in Malvern, Pennsylvania, with Vice President Harris
and one of her Republican supporters in Liz. They're doing
(05:00):
a series of events today. Donald Trump is actually speaking
in Swana Noah, North Carolina, after he's been meeting with
rescuers and the cleanup cruise after Hurricane Helene. He also
has plans to meet with some faith leaders today. I
don't think he's going to bring up the Arnold Palmer
story again, but he might. And the McDonald's, the images
(05:23):
from the McDonalds.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
And stuff is really the gift that keeps on giving.
I've watched that video a couple times. It never touches
the human hand.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And I wonder if he kept that apron. That's a
huge no. There is one story that is probably more
important than all of them. That I'm surprised at not
getting the headlines, and that is that the Department of
Justice has opened an investigation into the leak of classified
documents that deal with Israel's preparations for an attack against Iran.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
It's not a.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Battle, well, it's because it's not as big as Arnold Palmer's.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Because of genitals and French fries, those are all going
to win the day. Important Israel defense documents, classified documents.
We don't have the intelligence or the tension span in
this country right now to even wrap our heads around that.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
I suppose you're right, I'm ashamed of us.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
So the former president was in La Trobe, Pennsylvania, which
happens to be the hometown of Arnold Palmer, born back
in nineteen twenty nine, learned a golf from his father,
father suffered from polio, was a head pro and a
greenskeeper at the local country club. Everybody's talking about Arnold Palmer,
and he says, well, he was all man.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Gold Man, all man.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
His man was strong and tough. And I refused to
say it, but when he took showers with the other
pros they came out of there, they said, oh, my god,
that's unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I had to say it.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
We have women that a highly sophisticated here, but they
used to look at arnoldist in bed, but he was.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
What I what I don't understand is the campaign actually
tries to ascribe some sort of meaningful, some content to
this where Stephen Miller, sorry, Jason Miller, a Trump senior advisor,
said that Trump was planning to preview his closing argument
against Vice President Harrison to start to get into that
(07:24):
framing because we're, you know, two weeks out from election day.
Why bother, why bother trying to explain what this guy
says anymore? I mean in events like that. Now, that's
the other part about this. This was an hour and
a half long event in Latrow, Pennsylvania. Nobody knows anything
else that he said. It's about Arnold Palmer's Genitalia.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Why bringing up Arnold Palmer.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Because Arnold was from Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
So it's the hardest name to say ever, Arnold. Whenever
I want to order an Arnold, I can't do it.
My face will not say Arnold Palmer. I have to really,
I have to like really sound it out and do
like all the exercises that they do when you don't
speak correctly.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Peg Palmer is now sixty eight. She was Arnold's daughter,
and said, there's nothing much to say. I'm not really upset.
I think it was a poor choice of approaches to
remembering my father.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
But what are you going to do?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I don't know if you, Arnold Palmer's son, would have
said the same thing.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I don't know if I would comment on my father's
dead genitalia.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
You probably wouldn't have commented on it when it was
alive either. That's true, I mean very true. Airpoint just
an odd thing. The other thing that he got in
trouble for.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
Was so Kamala Harris that you've had enough that you
just can't take it anymore.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
We can't stand you.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
Your ash vice president the worst, You're the worst vice president.
Kamala your fired, get the hell out of here, fired,
get out of here.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
It's just one of those off putting things, like why
would you bother saying that you've you're you're firing up
your crowd. You already got them, they've already agreed to
go to the dance with you. Why are you turning
off other voters by saying stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I don't know when you're gonna stop asking why he
doesn't what bell.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
He wants to do.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I guess that's right.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
There's never a why there was.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
There was a poll that came out. There's a couple
of specific things about it. About the campaign. Number one
was that she set a campaign record for the biggest
fundraising quarter ever billion dollars in the three month period
that ended September thirtieth.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
And feel like we've.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Said that numerous times in recent years, this was a record.
He was a record, She was a record.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
With that part of it was was already known. But
September specifically, they said they raised three hundred and seventy
eight million dollars, well over twice what Trump received at
one hundred and sixty million, and that same time and
you're still tied. Do you raise that much money and
(10:01):
you're still tied? Washington Post poll that came out says
forty seven percent who say they will definitely or probably
support Harris forty seven percent say they will definitely or
probably support Trump. And when you look at likely voters,
it's just a one point difference. How do you raise
that much money and get zero ground game? Going nothing.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
It's late in the it's late in the game. I
don't know. I don't know whose mind's not made up
at this point.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Well, it's single digit percentages of people who say their
mind's not made up.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
And I don't believe only people aren't gonna switch sides.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
No, there's a weird twist to the whole Sean Comb's
Diddy lawsuit stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Oh, there's a weird twist now that the whole thing
hasn't been weird.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
This, this is makes me ashamed of humanity. In the
eleven months since his ex girlfriend Cassie singer Cassie came
out and sued him, the music career is gone right.
I mean, he's not going to produce another record ever.
But everybody is streaming his music. The number of people
(11:10):
who follow him on Spotify has grown by about fifteen percent.
The number of clicks on his songs have shot up dramatically.
In the week before he was arrested, his catalog had
about three point two million streams on.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Services throughout the US.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
That went up to about four point eight million in
the weeks that follow That's about a fifty percent increase,
and the number of people streaming his songs.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
You are right.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I didn't think that that story could get any grosser,
and it just did.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Know.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I mean, I understand people are curious, people that are
not familiar with all of the work that he has
done in terms of singing, producing all of that, creating
labels and groups. But it's one thing to be curious
and another thing to follow him.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
We've been talking about the campaign, and we know that
the major candidate's vice President Harris and former President Trump
entering the final phase of this marathon. So the vice
president campaigns in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, in Michigan today with Liz Cheney.
Trump I've mentioned was is in North Carolina. He's got
(12:14):
a rally, He's got a meeting with faith leaders, he
was talking with rescue officials after the hurricane. Is scheduled
to be back in North Carolina tomorrow as well. Over
the weekend, Elon Musk was holding events on behalf of
the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania, and these were for the
most part, just question and answer sessions really, and one
(12:35):
of the things that he announced was he was going
to give away a million dollars each day between Saturday
and November fifth in battleground states. Said I want to
get over a million, maybe two million voters in the
battleground states to sign a petition in support of the
first and second amendments, and to do that, they would
(12:56):
award a million dollars randomly to anybody who had sign
the petition.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I go back to the old school election sometimes to
compare candidates and running styles, and I have a vague
memory of not being able to give anything away when
you were running for office in high school. You couldn't
give away pens that said, you know, vote for Gary
or what have you. That was one of the things.
Nothing of value could you give away. But that was
(13:24):
as the person running. A lot of people are wondering
if this is legal, Well, he's a private citizen. He
can do whatever the hell he wants to with his money.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Well, kind of the catch is that it's a registered voter,
and the courts or whoever are going to have to
figure out I mean the Department of Justice or federal
Election Commission, whoever would investigate this has to figure out.
Does this then become an enticement to get people to
(13:56):
register to vote if only registered voters are eligible for
them money?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Well, if only registered voters are eligible for the money,
then it's not illegal because you're not paying someone to vote.
They're going to vote anyway, or they've signed something saying
that they plan on voting.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
But it's also that and I thought so too, but
US Code Sections something something point four points something says
that anybody who pays or offers to pay for registration
to vote or for voting. So registration also is one
of the things that could be a potential hiccup here.
But again it's the question is does that Does the
(14:31):
dangling of a million dollars entice people to register to
vote if they weren't already registered devote?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yes, well, and then the simple act is you don't.
It's not a standalone thing. It's not just registering to vote.
You have to register to vote and sign the petition.
So there are I've seen it both ways. I've seen
it written up by both sides where somebody says I'm
an election law expert and it's perfectly legal, and other
(15:00):
the election law experts says this guy should go to
jail forever.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
David Becker is a former Justice Department official handling voting
rights cases, founder of the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation
and Research. He says this isn't a particularly close case.
This is exactly what the statute was designed to criminalize.
He said the fact that the prize is available only
to registered voters in one of seven swing states that
could affect the outcome of the election is strong evidence
(15:25):
of Musk's intent to influence the race, which could be
legally problematic.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
He said.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
The offer was made in the last days before some
registration deadlines, which, of course Boltster's the appearance that the
cash prizes are designed to do just that, drive up registration,
to pay people to vote, to plan to vote. On
one hand, you're thinking, well, who would bring this case?
But anything connected to Trump is usually adjudicated. You'll find
(15:53):
some ag somewhere to bring this case.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
The lawyers also free lun Musk.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I think he's probably if he can, you know, pp
away fifteen million dollars over the course of a couple
of weekends, he also can afford some good lawyers. The
group that is putting this together reframed this, saying that
it is a job opportunity, saying that selectors selected people
would earn a million dollars. As a spokesperson for the
(16:24):
Political Action Committee that Elon Musk has set up and
is funded completely by himself.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
That's clever.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Now, the other question is would somebody who wins a
million dollars from that have to give the money away
if it give it back if in fact it turned
out that it was an illegal giveaway in the first place.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
So well, yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
The money's already gone, You've already spent it on hookers
and blow and nights in Vegas. I'm not sure if
that's the case. But you've got a winfall of a
million dollars. You wouldn't be responsible with it?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Me?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Yeah, why not? Okay, you would not.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
And then finally, what this is what could be fascinating.
I don't know if there's going to be time for
it between now an election day. Mark Cuban was on CNBC.
Mark Cuban is a billionaire who is fighting on behalf
of Democrats. He and Elon Musk have had a sometimes
friendly Elon Musk yeah, and they've had sort of an
on again, off again friendly contentious relationship, and he was
(17:23):
Mark Cuban was on CNBC this morning and was asked
about would he help set up an interview between Elon
Musk and Kamala Harris.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
Do you think if she wins, that she could actually
have a relationship and embrace Elon.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
Musk percent Yes, I've had that conversation.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
You know, I'm a news guy. We all want the interview.
I'd actually like her to see her do no.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Actually, I mean.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
Literally, I had the conversation. I've had no conversation with her.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
To see her do X and have a conversation with
Elon Musk, I actually think that that would actually be
a fascinating.
Speaker 8 (17:54):
I'll tell you exactly what they do, not calm less specifically,
but her team, I'm like, you know, I can try
to facilitate a meet with Elon, and they didn't trust
the fact that he wouldn't go on X and just
say something to distore the purpose of the meeting.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
But you've advocated for it.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Yeah for sure?
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Why not? Now?
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Which is that weird?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Never happened, By the way, I love when people were like, oh,
I'd like to see this, It's like, oh, I'm glad
that you would like to see that.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
That's never going to happen. She would never agree to that.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Well, she's not doing interviews with contentious outside of the
you know twenty minutes that she did with Brett Bear
on Fox.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
That's really the most contentious interview also, So, I.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Mean, to be fair, who the hell is Elon Musk
to be sitting down with a presidential candidate and interviewing them. Yeah,
just because he's a billionaire and he runs Twitter X
what have you? I mean, but she's call her Daddy podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I mean, the idea of who she's going to sit
down with is not It's not the old rules anymore.
So I almost feel like it would be the it
would probably be the interview with the largest listenership eyeballs.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
However you want to look at it, if she were
to do that.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I mean, she knew going in to call her Daddy
that it was going I hate saying those words altogether,
that it was going to be a friendly, female focused interview.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah, I don't see her going into the lions Den
with Elon Musk anytime soon.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
The Dodgers are headed the World Series.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Abris swing so bouncer a second. Taylor has it in
the Globe. It's over.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
It's over.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
The Dodgers win the Pennant champions of the National League.
In twenty twenty four, the Dodgers are going back.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
To the world theory.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Tim Cates for the last couple of weeks has actually
had to set an alarm so he could get up
early enough to do the morning edition of Dodger Talk
on a five to seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I'm going to miss hearing you in the mornings.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
We're back for another week and a half, Shannon, so
you more of us now.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I just mean after this, after the parade and everything.
Speaker 9 (20:01):
Oh yeah, when the parade's over, maybe we'll continue it
right into the offseason.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
So last night it was four to seven, I think
maybe six innings something like that.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I don't remember exactly.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
My husband was there and texts me, we are going
to the World Series in all caps, and I'm like,
slow your role, babe. Like I didn't feel like that
game was in the bag until the very end.
Speaker 9 (20:20):
No, not with the bullpen game, and not with the
New York Mets, who led the major leagues with forty
five come from behind wins during the regular season. You
never felt like it was really in control until Blake
Trying got that final out in the ninth inning.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
But how about Dave Roberts.
Speaker 9 (20:33):
Everybody loved to hate him forty eight hours before that
for blowing Game five.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
What was the bullpen game?
Speaker 9 (20:38):
And that's only after Jack Feleriti could not get out
of the third inning.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Well, last night, he's a magician.
Speaker 9 (20:44):
He gets all these relievers to put up zeros and
hang on to a lead, and then hang on and
put up ten runs as the offense did last night.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Absolutely tremendous. Looking forward, Friday's the first game. It's gonna
be at Dodger Stadium, fourish, first pitch, eight First, it's
gonna be five o'clock, okay, and then every game will
be five oh eight I assume correct for the whole
World Series. But Yankees have to come to LA for
the first time World Series wise since eighty one.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Yeah, forty three years.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
But this will be the twelfth time that they've met
in the World Series.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Right, Yankees? And eight of those matchups so far?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
How did these two teams match up?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Kates pretty even?
Speaker 9 (21:21):
I mean you talk about the Yankees and Aaron Judge
and ghen Carlos Sant and Juan Soto and crew and
Anthony Rizzo. It's a stack lineup they got in New York.
They're pitching maybe a little bit better as far as
the rotation is concerned, but the Dodgers overall pitching with
their bullpen is probably gotten ahead of the Yankees' overall
pitching staff. It's gonna be great, it's gonna be electric.
Major League Baseball is doing backflips down the streets of
(21:45):
New York right now because they don't have the Guardians
in there, and they don't have a small market team plane.
It's New York versus LA. And we were talking about
this morning with Steve Sackson. I the fact that you've
got the game now global as it is, and you've
got Shoe Otani on the biggest age against the you know,
American born player right now, an Aaron Judge. I mean,
you couldn't ask for a bigger stage for these guys.
(22:06):
This is going to be a giant money maker for
Major League Baseball. I mean, it's it's not you.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I mean you mentioned the Cleveland's out of it, the
Milwaukee's are out of it, but even the Kansas City's.
The amount of money that's going to roll in for
Major League Baseball is it's you can't.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Wrap your head around it.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
No.
Speaker 9 (22:27):
And the longer the series goes, the better for Major
League Baseball. And they're talking about the NLDS Game five
Dodgers Padres. A couple of Friday nights ago, twenty million
people globally were watching Game five of the NLDS twelve,
of which twelve million were over in Japan. Now that
you've got Dodgers Yankees, and over in Japan they know
who the Yankees are, certainly the biggest, second biggest franchise
(22:48):
in baseball.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
This thing is going to be monstrous.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
This is going to be quite huge.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I was thinking, you know, coast to coast and the
two biggest markets, and then you know the history that
these two teams bring.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
But you're right, it really is a global world series.
Speaker 9 (23:00):
We think about over in Europe, they trend towards more
of the Yankees. Steve Sacks played for the Yankees after
he played for the Dodgers. As he said, back in
the late eighties early nineties, there was a big influx
of European fans to the Yankees because it's only a
four and a half five hour flight away, and that's
who they gravitated towards. Because the Yankees were winning at
that time. And you think of the Pacific rim in
Japan and Korea and all those places, China. They gravitate
(23:22):
towards the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
And I mean just the sport in general has has
grown globally, and the Yankees and the Dodgers, but the Yankees,
I think more pre eminently are one of the top
franchises of any sport just in terms of global awareness,
and I think that's part of what's going to drive that.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
What's bothering me though, in the last twenty hours or
sold even less than that, since this matchup has been sealed,
is the questions of the Dodger players last night. What's
it like to play the Yankees? What's it going to
be like to face Aaron Judge? What's it going to
be like to have La versus New York? Well, how
about we flip it around. The Dodgers have now gone
to four World Series in eight years, a lot of
the same group as back the last time the Yankee
(24:00):
he's run the World Series was two thousand and nine.
And Judge Stanton, all these guys they weren't around, they
were kids.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Screw Vassa in his questions.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
By the way, there's a great interview. It's on an
FI seventy LA sports and social media. It was just
organic interview last night with Brent Honeywell Junior who wears
the turtleneck and has the Jerry curls and all that stuff.
And then Max Munsey shows up and David Vasse is
in the clubhouse talking to him post game. For five
minutes they talked, and Max Munsey just opened up about
(24:27):
how this team decided enough enough during that five day
break between the end of the season and the NLDS.
We're gonna have team bonding. You know, we're gonna take control.
We told the front office of what we're gonna do.
We are not gonna have what a repeat of the
last two seasons. It's very eye opening and kind of
peeled back to curtinto what this Dodgers team is all about.
The bullpen now has named themselves the Bullpen Dogs. They're
(24:47):
all barking now because they're caged up in the bullpen
and they're all anxious to get out and they don't
care when that gate opens, whose name is called.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
They just want to get out there, and pitch.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Is Max Munsey usually that opened no, right.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
That's what's so revealing about it. In the moment he's
talking to Brent about Brent Honeywell Junior and like, hey,
this guy may not be known, but we love this
guy in this clubhouse. He took one for us in
Game five when we were losing in New York, and
he went out and pitched fourth in a third innings
and then he just opened up about how this team
is so close. So I've been to World Series, I've
been a leader on this team, but this group is
the tightest group they've ever had.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Wow. Pretty cool.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
And they had to get Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman
to buy in before this would actually work, because if
the two stars don't buy in, then you know, who
is anybody else going to follow? And those two guys
joined with Will Smith and Max Munsey as the leaders
of this You know, we don't care. We want to
win twenty twenty four mentality. All right, Game one Friday night.
You're gonna hear it on AM five seventy LA Sports
(25:43):
in all week. Tim Kates is gonna be doing the.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
GiB each Chills Kates, Tim Kates, Steve Sacks doing the
morning show.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
How's Arizona? Shannon? You guys excited for this big Monday
night matchup tonight? Can't wait to watch it?
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I know right, you'll have to listen on ninety eight seven.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
That's right. I got Disney Plus. Is that where it's on.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
It's ESPN Plus, Ah, Yes, PN Plus, Yes P Plus.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Thanks Tim, Thanks.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Guys, you've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Welcome to Monday, October twenty one. Shannon's live today in
the beautiful city of Glendale, Arizona.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I am at the stadium, a top of the field
here at State Farm Stadium.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
The roof is closed.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I'm told it will be open for the game that
nobody will see because it's on ESPN Plus.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Right, So listen to the radio nine eight seven.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I guess you say it's a double header tonight for
Monday night football. But that Chargers Cardinals game is the
second of the two games. About six o'clock is kickoff.
But the first one is Baltimore at Tampa Bay. A
couple of four and two teams. Also that listen. Football
takes a sidelight at least for now.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Alviris Wings so bouncer a second. Taylor has it.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
In the globe.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
It's over. It's over. The Dodgers win the Pennant.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Champions of the National League in twenty twenty four. The
Dodgers are going back to the World theory.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
A lot of smiles in the hallways today here because
obviously our sister stationed down the hall Am five seventy
LA Sports KLAC is the home of the Dodgers, and
they get to at least four more games.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
You don't sound super smiley.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Oh, actually, this is the way I think going into
the playoffs. This is probably the way that as a
baseball fan, you wanted it to go, because there's nothing
better than having two absolutely pre eminent teams meet in
the World Series. There's nothing better than that. It's the
first time in what forty three years that the Dodgers
(01:40):
and Yankees have met in the World Series.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
So I love that part of it.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I was at dinner last night and I said, this
is the network's wet dream, And then I apologized right
away for saying that. I'm like, who am I Donald Trump?
What's going on? Who uses that term anymore? It doesn't
even make sense anymore, But it's true. I mean, this
is what the TV networks want, is what the people
that's selling the merch want. There's gonna make a lot
(02:03):
more money than you know, Milwaukee and I don't know Montreal.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
If it was a Milwaukee Cleveland World Series, it definitely
would not have had the same no, So that's great.
First game of the World Series is Friday night. We'll
actually be talking with Tim Kates, one of the smiling
gest guys in the hallways today, the host of Dodger Talk,
and he gets to get up early for the next
few days because they do special programming whenever the Dodgers
make their way to the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Can we just talk about Tim Kates and how emotionally
he got through this NLCS by just off the air
talking about, Oh, we're going to lose tonight. There's gonna
be no offense. Oh we're going to lose tonight. I mean,
because all fans do this. We all do this just
to protect ourselves.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
It's a defense mechanism.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Right man. Then you see when the team does win.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I mean, we saw people in the streets of la
last night after the Dodgers beat the Mets to advance
the World Series.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
They were running through the streets back in fools. But
that's that's what they do.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Back to genitals.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Arnold Palmer got a lot of press over the weekend
thanks to Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, Arnold Palmer, I guess was packing heat like Milton Burrell.
And for some reason, Donald Trump knows that how do
men know this?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I guess what are you doing looking around?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
His point was that it was we'll play the we'll
play the clip for you after the after the break.
But I guess he's talked to people who talk to
people who've taken showers with Arnold Palmer.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I don't run in the circles of men talking about
other men's genitals. But I just think it's a weird
it's a weird conversation topic.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Well, it depends.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Would be weird.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I would say this, there is a there is a
certain there there would be a certain.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Gosh, how do I say this? There would be a certain.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Level of impact. Perhaps, Really that would garner conversation. Ninety
eight maybe ninety nine percent of the time, no one's
talking about anything. It's not right. You're not, you know,
showing anybody anything that is unusual. Right, But those times
when someone's like, hey, did somebody leave.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Here?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Okay, then yes, I suppose that would garner some sort
of conversation.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, but you don't talk about it in public, and
certainly not to the masses.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Right, it's like.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
A hush, hush, Well the guy's gone.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I mean, that's the that's the other thing is he's dead.
That's the other day. That's what I like you're saying
it was. It was inconsequential. I guess you're not throwing
dirt on the man's grave.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
We are now fifteen days out from the elections, which
means that we will see campaign events all day, every
day between now and November fifth. In fact, right now,
the split screen between CNN and Fox News CNN is
showing an event in Malvern, Pennsylvania, with Vice President Harris
and one of her Republican supporters in Liz. They're doing
(05:00):
a series of events today. Donald Trump is actually speaking
in Swana Noah, North Carolina, after he's been meeting with
rescuers and the cleanup cruise after Hurricane Helene. He also
has plans to meet with some faith leaders today. I
don't think he's going to bring up the Arnold Palmer
story again, but he might. And the McDonald's, the images
(05:23):
from the McDonalds.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
And stuff is really the gift that keeps on giving.
I've watched that video a couple times. It never touches
the human hand.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And I wonder if he kept that apron. That's a
huge no. There is one story that is probably more
important than all of them. That I'm surprised at not
getting the headlines, and that is that the Department of
Justice has opened an investigation into the leak of classified
documents that deal with Israel's preparations for an attack against Iran.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
It's not a.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Battle, well, it's because it's not as big as Arnold Palmer's.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Because of genitals and French fries, those are all going
to win the day. Important Israel defense documents, classified documents.
We don't have the intelligence or the tension span in
this country right now to even wrap our heads around that.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
I suppose you're right, I'm ashamed of us.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
So the former president was in La Trobe, Pennsylvania, which
happens to be the hometown of Arnold Palmer, born back
in nineteen twenty nine, learned a golf from his father,
father suffered from polio, was a head pro and a
greenskeeper at the local country club. Everybody's talking about Arnold Palmer,
and he says, well, he was all man.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Gold Man, all man.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
His man was strong and tough. And I refused to
say it, but when he took showers with the other
pros they came out of there, they said, oh, my god,
that's unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I had to say it.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
We have women that a highly sophisticated here, but they
used to look at arnoldist in bed, but he was.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
What I what I don't understand is the campaign actually
tries to ascribe some sort of meaningful, some content to
this where Stephen Miller, sorry, Jason Miller, a Trump senior advisor,
said that Trump was planning to preview his closing argument
against Vice President Harrison to start to get into that
(07:24):
framing because we're, you know, two weeks out from election day.
Why bother, why bother trying to explain what this guy
says anymore? I mean in events like that. Now, that's
the other part about this. This was an hour and
a half long event in Latrow, Pennsylvania. Nobody knows anything
else that he said. It's about Arnold Palmer's Genitalia.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Why bringing up Arnold Palmer.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Because Arnold was from Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
So it's the hardest name to say ever, Arnold. Whenever
I want to order an Arnold, I can't do it.
My face will not say Arnold Palmer. I have to really,
I have to like really sound it out and do
like all the exercises that they do when you don't
speak correctly.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Peg Palmer is now sixty eight. She was Arnold's daughter,
and said, there's nothing much to say. I'm not really upset.
I think it was a poor choice of approaches to
remembering my father.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
But what are you going to do?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I don't know if you, Arnold Palmer's son, would have
said the same thing.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I don't know if I would comment on my father's
dead genitalia.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
You probably wouldn't have commented on it when it was
alive either. That's true, I mean very true. Airpoint just
an odd thing. The other thing that he got in
trouble for.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
Was so Kamala Harris that you've had enough that you
just can't take it anymore.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
We can't stand you.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
Your ash vice president the worst, You're the worst vice president.
Kamala your fired, get the hell out of here, fired,
get out of here.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
It's just one of those off putting things, like why
would you bother saying that you've you're you're firing up
your crowd. You already got them, they've already agreed to
go to the dance with you. Why are you turning
off other voters by saying stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I don't know when you're gonna stop asking why he
doesn't what bell.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
He wants to do.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I guess that's right.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
There's never a why there was.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
There was a poll that came out. There's a couple
of specific things about it. About the campaign. Number one
was that she set a campaign record for the biggest
fundraising quarter ever billion dollars in the three month period
that ended September thirtieth.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
And feel like we've.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Said that numerous times in recent years, this was a record.
He was a record, She was a record.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
With that part of it was was already known. But
September specifically, they said they raised three hundred and seventy
eight million dollars, well over twice what Trump received at
one hundred and sixty million, and that same time and
you're still tied. Do you raise that much money and
(10:01):
you're still tied? Washington Post poll that came out says
forty seven percent who say they will definitely or probably
support Harris forty seven percent say they will definitely or
probably support Trump. And when you look at likely voters,
it's just a one point difference. How do you raise
that much money and get zero ground game? Going nothing.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
It's late in the it's late in the game. I
don't know. I don't know whose mind's not made up
at this point.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Well, it's single digit percentages of people who say their
mind's not made up.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
And I don't believe only people aren't gonna switch sides.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
No, there's a weird twist to the whole Sean Comb's
Diddy lawsuit stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Oh, there's a weird twist now that the whole thing
hasn't been weird.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
This, this is makes me ashamed of humanity. In the
eleven months since his ex girlfriend Cassie singer Cassie came
out and sued him, the music career is gone right.
I mean, he's not going to produce another record ever.
But everybody is streaming his music. The number of people
(11:10):
who follow him on Spotify has grown by about fifteen percent.
The number of clicks on his songs have shot up dramatically.
In the week before he was arrested, his catalog had
about three point two million streams on.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Services throughout the US.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
That went up to about four point eight million in
the weeks that follow That's about a fifty percent increase,
and the number of people streaming his songs.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
You are right.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I didn't think that that story could get any grosser,
and it just did.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Know.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I mean, I understand people are curious, people that are
not familiar with all of the work that he has
done in terms of singing, producing all of that, creating
labels and groups. But it's one thing to be curious
and another thing to follow him.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
We've been talking about the campaign, and we know that
the major candidate's vice President Harris and former President Trump
entering the final phase of this marathon. So the vice
president campaigns in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, in Michigan today with Liz Cheney.
Trump I've mentioned was is in North Carolina. He's got
(12:14):
a rally, He's got a meeting with faith leaders, he
was talking with rescue officials after the hurricane. Is scheduled
to be back in North Carolina tomorrow as well. Over
the weekend, Elon Musk was holding events on behalf of
the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania, and these were for the
most part, just question and answer sessions really, and one
(12:35):
of the things that he announced was he was going
to give away a million dollars each day between Saturday
and November fifth in battleground states. Said I want to
get over a million, maybe two million voters in the
battleground states to sign a petition in support of the
first and second amendments, and to do that, they would
(12:56):
award a million dollars randomly to anybody who had sign
the petition.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I go back to the old school election sometimes to
compare candidates and running styles, and I have a vague
memory of not being able to give anything away when
you were running for office in high school. You couldn't
give away pens that said, you know, vote for Gary
or what have you. That was one of the things.
Nothing of value could you give away. But that was
(13:24):
as the person running. A lot of people are wondering
if this is legal, Well, he's a private citizen. He
can do whatever the hell he wants to with his money.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Well, kind of the catch is that it's a registered voter,
and the courts or whoever are going to have to
figure out I mean the Department of Justice or federal
Election Commission, whoever would investigate this has to figure out.
Does this then become an enticement to get people to
(13:56):
register to vote if only registered voters are eligible for
them money?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Well, if only registered voters are eligible for the money,
then it's not illegal because you're not paying someone to vote.
They're going to vote anyway, or they've signed something saying
that they plan on voting.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
But it's also that and I thought so too, but
US Code Sections something something point four points something says
that anybody who pays or offers to pay for registration
to vote or for voting. So registration also is one
of the things that could be a potential hiccup here.
But again it's the question is does that Does the
(14:31):
dangling of a million dollars entice people to register to
vote if they weren't already registered devote?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yes, well, and then the simple act is you don't.
It's not a standalone thing. It's not just registering to vote.
You have to register to vote and sign the petition.
So there are I've seen it both ways. I've seen
it written up by both sides where somebody says I'm
an election law expert and it's perfectly legal, and other
(15:00):
the election law experts says this guy should go to
jail forever.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
David Becker is a former Justice Department official handling voting
rights cases, founder of the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation
and Research. He says this isn't a particularly close case.
This is exactly what the statute was designed to criminalize.
He said the fact that the prize is available only
to registered voters in one of seven swing states that
could affect the outcome of the election is strong evidence
(15:25):
of Musk's intent to influence the race, which could be
legally problematic.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
He said.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
The offer was made in the last days before some
registration deadlines, which, of course Boltster's the appearance that the
cash prizes are designed to do just that, drive up registration,
to pay people to vote, to plan to vote. On
one hand, you're thinking, well, who would bring this case?
But anything connected to Trump is usually adjudicated. You'll find
(15:53):
some ag somewhere to bring this case.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
The lawyers also free lun Musk.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I think he's probably if he can, you know, pp
away fifteen million dollars over the course of a couple
of weekends, he also can afford some good lawyers. The
group that is putting this together reframed this, saying that
it is a job opportunity, saying that selectors selected people
would earn a million dollars. As a spokesperson for the
(16:24):
Political Action Committee that Elon Musk has set up and
is funded completely by himself.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
That's clever.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Now, the other question is would somebody who wins a
million dollars from that have to give the money away
if it give it back if in fact it turned
out that it was an illegal giveaway in the first place.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
So well, yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
The money's already gone, You've already spent it on hookers
and blow and nights in Vegas. I'm not sure if
that's the case. But you've got a winfall of a
million dollars. You wouldn't be responsible with it?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Me?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Yeah, why not? Okay, you would not.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
And then finally, what this is what could be fascinating.
I don't know if there's going to be time for
it between now an election day. Mark Cuban was on CNBC.
Mark Cuban is a billionaire who is fighting on behalf
of Democrats. He and Elon Musk have had a sometimes
friendly Elon Musk yeah, and they've had sort of an
on again, off again friendly contentious relationship, and he was
(17:23):
Mark Cuban was on CNBC this morning and was asked
about would he help set up an interview between Elon
Musk and Kamala Harris.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
Do you think if she wins, that she could actually
have a relationship and embrace Elon.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
Musk percent Yes, I've had that conversation.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
You know, I'm a news guy. We all want the interview.
I'd actually like her to see her do no.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Actually, I mean.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
Literally, I had the conversation. I've had no conversation with her.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
To see her do X and have a conversation with
Elon Musk, I actually think that that would actually be
a fascinating.
Speaker 8 (17:54):
I'll tell you exactly what they do, not calm less specifically,
but her team, I'm like, you know, I can try
to facilitate a meet with Elon, and they didn't trust
the fact that he wouldn't go on X and just
say something to distore the purpose of the meeting.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
But you've advocated for it.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Yeah for sure?
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Why not? Now?
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Which is that weird?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Never happened, By the way, I love when people were like, oh,
I'd like to see this, It's like, oh, I'm glad
that you would like to see that.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
That's never going to happen. She would never agree to that.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Well, she's not doing interviews with contentious outside of the
you know twenty minutes that she did with Brett Bear
on Fox.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
That's really the most contentious interview also, So, I.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Mean, to be fair, who the hell is Elon Musk
to be sitting down with a presidential candidate and interviewing them. Yeah,
just because he's a billionaire and he runs Twitter X
what have you? I mean, but she's call her Daddy podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I mean, the idea of who she's going to sit
down with is not It's not the old rules anymore.
So I almost feel like it would be the it
would probably be the interview with the largest listenership eyeballs.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
However you want to look at it, if she were
to do that.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I mean, she knew going in to call her Daddy
that it was going I hate saying those words altogether,
that it was going to be a friendly, female focused interview.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah, I don't see her going into the lions Den
with Elon Musk anytime soon.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
The Dodgers are headed the World Series.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Abris swing so bouncer a second. Taylor has it in
the Globe. It's over.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
It's over.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
The Dodgers win the Pennant champions of the National League.
In twenty twenty four, the Dodgers are going back.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
To the world theory.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Tim Cates for the last couple of weeks has actually
had to set an alarm so he could get up
early enough to do the morning edition of Dodger Talk
on a five to seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I'm going to miss hearing you in the mornings.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
We're back for another week and a half, Shannon, so
you more of us now.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I just mean after this, after the parade and everything.
Speaker 9 (20:01):
Oh yeah, when the parade's over, maybe we'll continue it
right into the offseason.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
So last night it was four to seven, I think
maybe six innings something like that.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I don't remember exactly.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
My husband was there and texts me, we are going
to the World Series in all caps, and I'm like,
slow your role, babe. Like I didn't feel like that
game was in the bag until the very end.
Speaker 9 (20:20):
No, not with the bullpen game, and not with the
New York Mets, who led the major leagues with forty
five come from behind wins during the regular season. You
never felt like it was really in control until Blake
Trying got that final out in the ninth inning.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
But how about Dave Roberts.
Speaker 9 (20:33):
Everybody loved to hate him forty eight hours before that
for blowing Game five.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
What was the bullpen game?
Speaker 9 (20:38):
And that's only after Jack Feleriti could not get out
of the third inning.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Well, last night, he's a magician.
Speaker 9 (20:44):
He gets all these relievers to put up zeros and
hang on to a lead, and then hang on and
put up ten runs as the offense did last night.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Absolutely tremendous. Looking forward, Friday's the first game. It's gonna
be at Dodger Stadium, fourish, first pitch, eight First, it's
gonna be five o'clock, okay, and then every game will
be five oh eight I assume correct for the whole
World Series. But Yankees have to come to LA for
the first time World Series wise since eighty one.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Yeah, forty three years.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
But this will be the twelfth time that they've met
in the World Series.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Right, Yankees? And eight of those matchups so far?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
How did these two teams match up?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Kates pretty even?
Speaker 9 (21:21):
I mean you talk about the Yankees and Aaron Judge
and ghen Carlos Sant and Juan Soto and crew and
Anthony Rizzo. It's a stack lineup they got in New York.
They're pitching maybe a little bit better as far as
the rotation is concerned, but the Dodgers overall pitching with
their bullpen is probably gotten ahead of the Yankees' overall
pitching staff. It's gonna be great, it's gonna be electric.
Major League Baseball is doing backflips down the streets of
(21:45):
New York right now because they don't have the Guardians
in there, and they don't have a small market team plane.
It's New York versus LA. And we were talking about
this morning with Steve Sackson. I the fact that you've
got the game now global as it is, and you've
got Shoe Otani on the biggest age against the you know,
American born player right now, an Aaron Judge. I mean,
you couldn't ask for a bigger stage for these guys.
(22:06):
This is going to be a giant money maker for
Major League Baseball. I mean, it's it's not you.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I mean you mentioned the Cleveland's out of it, the
Milwaukee's are out of it, but even the Kansas City's.
The amount of money that's going to roll in for
Major League Baseball is it's you can't.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Wrap your head around it.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
No.
Speaker 9 (22:27):
And the longer the series goes, the better for Major
League Baseball. And they're talking about the NLDS Game five
Dodgers Padres. A couple of Friday nights ago, twenty million
people globally were watching Game five of the NLDS twelve,
of which twelve million were over in Japan. Now that
you've got Dodgers Yankees, and over in Japan they know
who the Yankees are, certainly the biggest, second biggest franchise
(22:48):
in baseball.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
This thing is going to be monstrous.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
This is going to be quite huge.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I was thinking, you know, coast to coast and the
two biggest markets, and then you know the history that
these two teams bring.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
But you're right, it really is a global world series.
Speaker 9 (23:00):
We think about over in Europe, they trend towards more
of the Yankees. Steve Sacks played for the Yankees after
he played for the Dodgers. As he said, back in
the late eighties early nineties, there was a big influx
of European fans to the Yankees because it's only a
four and a half five hour flight away, and that's
who they gravitated towards. Because the Yankees were winning at
that time. And you think of the Pacific rim in
Japan and Korea and all those places, China. They gravitate
(23:22):
towards the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
And I mean just the sport in general has has
grown globally, and the Yankees and the Dodgers, but the Yankees,
I think more pre eminently are one of the top
franchises of any sport just in terms of global awareness,
and I think that's part of what's going to drive that.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
What's bothering me though, in the last twenty hours or
sold even less than that, since this matchup has been sealed,
is the questions of the Dodger players last night. What's
it like to play the Yankees? What's it going to
be like to face Aaron Judge? What's it going to
be like to have La versus New York? Well, how
about we flip it around. The Dodgers have now gone
to four World Series in eight years, a lot of
the same group as back the last time the Yankee
(24:00):
he's run the World Series was two thousand and nine.
And Judge Stanton, all these guys they weren't around, they
were kids.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Screw Vassa in his questions.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
By the way, there's a great interview. It's on an
FI seventy LA sports and social media. It was just
organic interview last night with Brent Honeywell Junior who wears
the turtleneck and has the Jerry curls and all that stuff.
And then Max Munsey shows up and David Vasse is
in the clubhouse talking to him post game. For five
minutes they talked, and Max Munsey just opened up about
(24:27):
how this team decided enough enough during that five day
break between the end of the season and the NLDS.
We're gonna have team bonding. You know, we're gonna take control.
We told the front office of what we're gonna do.
We are not gonna have what a repeat of the
last two seasons. It's very eye opening and kind of
peeled back to curtinto what this Dodgers team is all about.
The bullpen now has named themselves the Bullpen Dogs. They're
(24:47):
all barking now because they're caged up in the bullpen
and they're all anxious to get out and they don't
care when that gate opens, whose name is called.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
They just want to get out there, and pitch.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Is Max Munsey usually that opened no, right.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
That's what's so revealing about it. In the moment he's
talking to Brent about Brent Honeywell Junior and like, hey,
this guy may not be known, but we love this
guy in this clubhouse. He took one for us in
Game five when we were losing in New York, and
he went out and pitched fourth in a third innings
and then he just opened up about how this team
is so close. So I've been to World Series, I've
been a leader on this team, but this group is
the tightest group they've ever had.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Wow. Pretty cool.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
And they had to get Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman
to buy in before this would actually work, because if
the two stars don't buy in, then you know, who
is anybody else going to follow? And those two guys
joined with Will Smith and Max Munsey as the leaders
of this You know, we don't care. We want to
win twenty twenty four mentality. All right, Game one Friday night.
You're gonna hear it on AM five seventy LA Sports
(25:43):
in all week. Tim Kates is gonna be doing the.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
