Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M. Six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right, so the White
House finds itself for a second day in a row,
trying to clarify the actions of Joe Biden. Of course,
yesterday they had to clarify what he meant when he
said that Trump supporters are garbage.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
And today they're having to defend him biting the arms
and legs of babies. They're eating the babies at the
White House. And that's where we kick off Swamp Watch.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Swamp is horrible.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
The government doesn't work.
Speaker 5 (00:38):
Come man, make it like a reality TV show. Bado
always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Hey, Joe, a town all too clearly built on a
swamp in so many.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Ways, still a swamp.
Speaker 6 (00:53):
I have to watch.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Markey said, drained the swamp.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I said, oh, that's so hep you know.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
So it was a Halloween event and President Biden decided
to touch his mouth to several babies at the event.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Don't say it all.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Photos from the event show Biden putting his mouth around
the leg of a baby dressed as a chicken.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
He also appeared to touch his mouth to the arm
of a baby dressed in a ghost pattern outfit, and
take the feet of two other babies in his mouth.
I'm sorry, you've never eaten a ghost before. I've never
eaten a baby. White House spokesperson Andrew Bates says that
he was jokingly. It was a joking he done as
(01:37):
a joke.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
He didn't actually mean to consume the flesh of a human.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
It is an odd thing to do several times to
put your mouth on a strange babies.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Have you once been presented with a baby.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
And fake bitten its leg or put its foot in
your mouth?
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Not the foot, the foot, that's nasty. But I've bitten
a good elbow arm. You've seen those things that they
look like Little Michelin Tye.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
I have never bitten a baby.
Speaker 7 (02:07):
You have.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
It looks odd babies.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Then, I've never seen an ugly baby.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
I'm sorry what I've never seen an ugly baby? Oh girl,
I got pictures. I have had some ugly babies in
my time. That's awful. Well, God doesn't make ugly babies.
He only makes ugly people like you. This on the
heels of Karine Jean Pierre trying to explain what President
(02:37):
Biden meant when he said Trump supporters of garbage.
Speaker 8 (02:41):
Clarify he was not calling Trump supporters garbage, which is
why he put out This.
Speaker 9 (02:45):
Is why he wanted to make sure that we put out.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
A statement that clarified what he meant and what he
was trying to say.
Speaker 9 (02:53):
And so just want to make that very clear.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
For folks who are watching. We detailed for you earlier
in the show about this garbage and costume that Donald
Trump then wore yesterday at his rally in Wisconsin, which
again I think was an absolute win for the Trump
campaign for them to take advantage of this garbage comment
and say fine, and we've already seen people lined up
for his events today in Nevada and Arizona wearing those
(03:19):
orange vests, dressed literally as garbage men, so that they
can take advantage of this and try to spin this
the best way for them. Now, while he was wearing
his garbage men outfit last night in Wisconsin, he said
something else that the Harris campaign is trying to capitalize on.
Here's what he said, and my people.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Told me about four weeks ago, I was saying, no,
I want to protect the people. I want to protect
the women of our country. I want to protect the women, Sir,
please don't say that. Why they said, we think it's
we think it's very inappropriate for you to say so.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Why he's talking specifically about keeping criminal illeal aliens out
of the United States.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
That's how he wants to I'm president, I want to
protect the women of our country.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
The su.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
They said, Sir, I just think it's inappropriate for you
to say, pay these guys a lot of money. Can
you believe in? They said, Well, I'm going to do
it whether the women like it or not.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I'm going to protect.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Them, whether the women like it or not. Now, according
to the Harris campaign spokesperson Sara pinat Chatika, she said
that Trump thinks he knows better than the women of America.
Another spokesperson said that the comment was the defining line
of the Trump campaign. Today. Kamala Harris took some questions
(04:43):
before she made her way. I think she was in
Wisconsin before she's making her way towards New Mexica, Sorry,
Nevada and Arizona.
Speaker 8 (04:51):
It actually is very offensive to women in terms of
not understanding their agency their authority and their ability to
make decisions about their own lives, including their own bodies.
And this is just the latest on a series of
reveals by the former president of how he thinks about
(05:12):
women and their agency.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Trump has used this line before, this protector of women
line before several weeks ago, and he said, as president,
I have to be your protector. This was in September.
I hope you don't make too much of it. I
hope the fake news doesn't go, oh, he wants to
be their protector. Well, I am as president. I have
to be your protector. This is another one of those
(05:40):
lines where and I think we've seen so many of
them in this campaign. It's not going to ring. I
don't think that changes minds of women, specifically who are
already going to said they're going to vote for Trump,
or if they're on the fence. I don't know if
this is the thing that the Harris campaign hopes it is.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
It's so granular.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Are at this point even if it changes the mind
or gets a fraction of women to the ballot box,
because they're so pissed off by it, it's worth something.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
They have already started some legal challenges to the voting
laws that exist in a couple of different places. We've
talked about Virginia. There's also in Pennsylvania some problems. And
one of the issues that Trump has right now is
he's using a ten thousand foot lens to look at
some of the things that have shown up in Pennsylvania,
(06:34):
claiming that their proof that there is widespread fraud, when
in fact, in cases like this, it's proof that the
system caught the problem and is fixing the problem before
it gets to election day.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Police are releasing new details about that suspect accused of
setting off the incendiary devices at ballot boxes in Washington
and Oregon. They say the suspect is between thirty and
forty years old. Short or balding hair was seen pulling
up to one of the ballot boxes in that volvo.
They say he has a wealth of experience in metal
fabrication and welding, and that it's very possible he will
(07:08):
strike again at other drop box locations.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Interesting they know exactly who this guy is.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
They all had the phrases the devices did free Gaza
or free Palestine? North Korea test fired in ICBM for
the first time in almost a year today demonstrating, they say,
a potential advancement and its ability to launch long range
nuclear attacks on the mainland US.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
It was meant to grab our attention.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
It hasn't because we're a bunch of adults dressed up
for Halloween sharing a Dodger's victory, which they should have
planned for. If North Korea did this tomorrow, maybe it
would get a little bit more play.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I don't see a lot of people talking about it.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
You think Kim Jong un was watching the World Series
No watch proof?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Got it?
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Got it?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Kim Jong Un called it an appropriate military action to
sh you know, North Korea's resolve to respond to its
enemy's moves that have threatened the North safety.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
One of the things coming out of DC today involves
New York's politicians. A House subcommittee has referred former Governor
Andrew Cuomo to the Justice Department for potential prosecution. They
say that he lied to Congress about COVID. He was
accused of engaging in a conscious, calculated effort to avoid
(08:27):
accountability for his handling of nursing homes where thousands of
people died of cover. Remember, they were sending people to
nursing homes out of the hospitals and then infecting everybody
the most vulnerable. This came from the House Select Subcommittee
on the Coronavirus Pandemic, and the referral to the DOJ
centers on some closed door testimony that the former governor
(08:49):
gave to the committee when he said that he had
not reviewed a state Health Department report that deflected blame
for the deaths of people in those New York sing
homes in early twenty twenty. He's been one of those
guys who caught a lot of flak for the way
that that was handled in the state of New York.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Do you want to hear about a haunted road?
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Is there such a thing?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yes, there are several across this great country of America,
like in Chicago Archer Avenue. Deep in the heart of
Chicago lies an old road known as Archer Avenue that
is said to haunt all of its visitors. Legend has
it now. Many decades ago, a young woman named Mary
(09:38):
was walking home from a school dance when she was
tragically killed in a hit and run.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Still don't know who did it.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Mary's parents sadly buried their little girl in Resurrection Cemetery.
Resurrection Cemetery I bet you can tell where this tale
is going. Many years have passed, the crime remains unsolved. However,
the tale still haunts residents because for decades.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Story after story after story.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Of drivers near the dance hall picking up a young
hitchhiker donning a party dress.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
What She remains.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Silent until she reaches the cemetery, at which she demands
to be let out of the vehicle. She then vanishes
into thin air. Would you pick up a little girl
that was a hitchhiker in a prom dress?
Speaker 5 (10:34):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
You'd probably pull over, call someone and wait till the
police got there. You don't want to be in the
car with a strange girl in a prom dress.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Not fifty year old me, No, No, sixteen year old
me maybe, but not fifteen year old me or fifty.
Speaker 9 (10:51):
Year old sorry?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Right?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
What age do you cut that off? Eighteen thirty eighteen? Good,
good answer?
Speaker 5 (10:58):
On the birthday eighteen.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
I have more scary roads to tell you about.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Well, I don't know if I my heart can handle them.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Listen to this one, okay.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
While riding through Highway sixty six bridge in Stevens Point, Wisconsin,
drivers insist you can spot the bloody ghost of a
bride killed on her way to her wedding. If you're
having trouble finding her, just look in your rear view
mirror at your back seat. There it is said you
(11:36):
will find the bloody bride staring at you as you
try to keep your eyes on the road. That didn't
scare you, not as much as the first one. The
girl in the car. Yeah, yeah, because of the legal implications.
If somebody saw you with a strange girl.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
She's got to do is make one allegation and then
I'm just upscrewed.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Right, all right, tech Talk takes on a spooky feeling today.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
The machines are getting smarter.
Speaker 9 (12:07):
This is tech Talk, brought to you by Skynet.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Mark Saltzman nailed his Halloween costume, addressing like, what was
the name of the character Al Bundy to call him
Ed Bundy.
Speaker 9 (12:23):
Yeah, isn't that a serial killer?
Speaker 4 (12:25):
That's Ted Bundy.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Buy you and your wife look incredible.
Speaker 9 (12:32):
Thank you. Yeah. So we chatted about this last Thursday.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
For you know, nothing screams technology then Halloween costumes.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Whatever.
Speaker 9 (12:40):
But I'm happy to uh to uh to go there.
Speaker 7 (12:44):
But yeah, so I just shared with your producers some
photos from last Saturday night, we have an annual Halloween
party at our place. So yeah, we were Peggy and
al Bundy and then funny enough. Okay, it's a thirty
year old TV show. What are the odds that the
first couple that walked into our party were also Nikky
and a Bundan? Yeah, like seriously, out of all the
costumes out there. But yeah, we had some fun with it,
(13:06):
and we had some really good ones. If you want
to take a look over your listeners want to check
it out. These are on Facebook. I didn't put these
on X but it's Mark Saltzman m A R C
s A L t Z M A N and you'll see. Yeah,
my buddy who was Trump was great and you have
the blood bloody.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Here friends all nailed it.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
Yeah, yeah, right, we have fun. It's good time. And
he says Halloween it was just for kids.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Can I tell you I love that dramatic lighting too?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yeah? I think I did too. That's very relaxing.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
Well, thank you, thank you. Yeah, we had some lights
and some a fog machine. I bought it off Amazon
for like forty bucks. It was awesome and it has
colored lights with it too, very cool.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
Yeah, my Amazon last night, as we were sitting down
for the World series, my wife and I had a
discussion about downloading the latest iOS eight. I mean, listen,
we have some pretty hot discussions in our house.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Operating system updates definitely is iOS steamy and I I'm
religious about as soon as it tells me that there's
a note, I'll even check when it doesn't tell me
there's a notification to see if there are any updates
in the general iOS for whatever phone I'm using, and
I download them right away.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Is that good?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Bad?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
It's good, it's good.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Most people have that little red one by their settings
right which means they have not downloaded. The general rule
of thumb is to set it to automatically update or
remember to do it yourself. The only caveat is that
if you have a phone that's a few years old, like.
Speaker 9 (14:31):
I'm going back, you know, four or.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Five, six years old, it is possible that the operating
system update can slow things down. But it's the lesser
of two evils because when you do an iOS A update,
it will squash bugs, including security vulnerabilities that they find.
The engineers find them, and so it's better to be
protected and have your device run out a little bit slower,
(14:55):
but generally the rule of thumb is yes. And it's
not just for your phone, but for your lap top.
Anything that has an operating system, you should have it
updated because they add new features, they fix problems, and
in this case with Apple it's called iOS eighteen Dot one.
It has all the new Apple Intelligence features or AI.
(15:16):
You know, there's spin on AI instead of artificial intelligence.
The company calls it Apple Intelligence. So I wrote a
piece for Reader's Digest that was published yesterday on five
reasons to upgrade, aside from the fact.
Speaker 9 (15:28):
That you should always.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
But if you've got iPhone fifteen or sixteen, you can
take the iPhone fifteen pro, I should say, and pro max.
Those are last year's more advanced models, or any of
the newer iPhone sixteen models. Then you could take advantage
of the new things like the hearing aid feature. If
you have AirPods pro too, you can turn those into
(15:52):
hearing aids of sorts like regular hearing aids. They can boost,
of course, conversations and other sounds around you, and it.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
Works really well.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
It's for those who have mild to moderate moderate hearing loss,
so not for someone that needs like you know, real
dedicated hearing aids. But it's pretty cool recording phone calls.
You actually don't need a new iPhone for this feature. Now,
when you after you do the update, Gary and Shannon,
when you're on a phone call that you want to save,
maybe it's with a loved one, or if you're a
(16:24):
journalist like me and it's great to record interviews, then
you will see a record button now on the top
left corner. During a call, it then gives it tells
the person that you're chatting with that you're recording both
visually and verbally. You're going to hear it, and then
it'll be saved in your note section. If you have
one of the newer iPhones with AI or Apple Intelligence
(16:45):
that it'll also transcribe that phone call for you if
you find that handy for work purposes.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Great.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Yeah, where was this twenty years ago when we were
reporters out in the streets.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
I know, right, So yeah, it's a great update. Smarter
SERI now, so even if you stumble, like if you say, hey,
take me to one two three Smith Street, I mean
Smith Avenue, it'll now know you meant Smith Avenue. Like
it's getting more intelligent and more conversational. Another reason to
update our writing tools. If you're writing messages in mail, messages, notes, pages,
(17:21):
or any third party app like a social media post
you're about to post, then when you're writing it, you
tapped the little arrow on top of the keyboard and
it'll suggest different ways to write what you're writing, and
you can even select tone like friendly, professional, concise, and
it'll write it for you using AI. And then finally,
iPhone's a bit late to the game on this one
(17:43):
because Android's had it for a bit, but it'll fix
up your photos by removing unwanted objects. So you've got
someone ruining your perfect shot on a beach with a sunset,
and there's a guy with a speedo that shouldn't be
wearing one behind you or your partner.
Speaker 9 (17:59):
You get, Well, it's always the people, you know, it's
like a nude beat.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
It's like always the people you should not be on
a nude beach or where you know, sorry I shouldn't
go there, But it's always like the people that you really.
Speaker 9 (18:09):
Maybe want to be where, you know, all.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Right, I've never been to a nude beach.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Well, I'm just saying.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
I'm just saying that people who wear the revealing outfits
are often maybe they shouldn't be, but so can Now
it'll automatically remove those people behind you, or it'll at
least highlight it and you can tap to remove it.
Speaker 9 (18:27):
It's up to you.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
So lots of great stuff in iOS eighteen dot one.
And don't send me hate mail for suggesting that if
you don't have an amazing body, that you should not
wear a bathing suit.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
I wasn't going there, but you know, the advanced move
would instead of just taking those people out of the picture,
would just add a bathing suit to them.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
Yeah, that would be.
Speaker 7 (18:45):
That's really advanced AI for sure. One of these days AI.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Is there a way for me if even if I
did have the fifteen pro or Promax or one of
these where it is getting Apple Intelligence, is there a
way for me to generally just turn it all off
so it doesn't I don't you know?
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (19:02):
I like it's in the options.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
If you don't want, if you have no interest in
AI at all, then you would just go into the
options and uh not, Well, you actually have to apply
or on a waiting list for the Apple Intelligence features,
which I wrote in the article. But I feel to
mention just now, so when you do the software update,
you would go to the settings and then the area
(19:26):
is called Apple Intelligence and Siri instead of just Serio,
it's now called Apple Intelligence Series, and you would tap
to say that you want to join the waitlist. If
you are not interested in AI at all, then you
do not need to join the weightlist.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
Just don't use it.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Oh my gosh, Mark, I'm watching this video of this
Dodgers fan who is lighting a firework and blue his
fingers off.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
Ew.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
I've watched it like three times over and over.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
They would never do that if the Blue Jays won,
they would never do that.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
He's like bleeding out on the street with his fingers
blown off.
Speaker 9 (19:58):
Oh that is not Are you watching this multiple so?
Speaker 5 (20:01):
He could still he can still catch that fly ball
better than Aaron Judge?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Oh damn too much? Did he cover first? Did this
guy cover first?
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Oh gosh, Mark, Thank you, Mark, thank you for the
nude beach visual.
Speaker 9 (20:14):
Yeah, sorry for the visual there all right?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Right.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Mark's article appears in Reader's Digest More these Must Try
features on iOS eighteen point one.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
You have to see this video.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Happy Halloween, Mark, We appreciate you, Thank you so much.
Fun you eye Mark Saltzman there. Make sure you follow
Mark on Twitter. M A r C h M r
C underscore.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Fingers are gone and there's just blood everywhere, and he's
so in shock that he doesn't even realize that he's
blown his fingers off.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
And the dripping of the blood all over his brain,
dripping of the blood. That's a great story, though.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Was it not?
Speaker 7 (20:48):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Is it really great?
Speaker 8 (20:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:50):
The Fournit or the forty nine ers. I'm trying to
will it into existence.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
The Dodgers won the World Series, and I thought it
would be cool to set off a firecracker and a
blue a hand up.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Well, hey, Gary John down in Orange County, the guy
that was just on talking about how Shannon's instigating setting
fires on buses stuff like that. If his voice was
one octave lower, if that's the right way of saying it,
I was expecting him to say, wait a minute, was
she a great, big fat person from silence?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Lamb oh wait a person?
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Oh yeah, that's a good call.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Fred Rogan has joined us, And Fred, you said it
was going to be a gentleman's sweep and it almost was.
And you were going to be no stradamis and I
was going to listen to everything that you said from
there on out.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
It was a gentleman's sweep. Yeah, so that was it.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Somebody else said that that was the definition of the gentleman.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Oh well, I had.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
No idea that that's what that meant. I thought you
meant that it was this wee we were just going
to be nice. Yeah, this is what happened. I don't know,
this is what This is what happens when I only
watched Opening Day and the playoffs, as I is solid
the nuances of baseball terminology.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
No, I nailed it.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You did nail it.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I nailed it from the beginning. I am indeed. I thought,
really when they beat the Padres eight won the World Series, Yeah,
I thought the Padres were the second best team in baseball.
The Dodgers had gone through enough adversity this year, which
they have not in past years.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Now, you got here in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
One, eighty eighty, who's counting, Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
But what a magical time for you to remember all
of the nineteen eighty one glory.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Well, the the eighties were the best sports decade probably
in LA history, and I was really fortunate. It's funny,
you know, Freddie Freeman. I was there Friday night when
he hit the Grand Slam. I took my family and
I was there. Kirk Gibson in eighty eight hit that
ball to the right field pavillion.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
So did you, I mean chills, exponential chills.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Yeah. I just thought it was such a great series
for the Dodgers. And Ned Coletti, the former GM who
comes on our show all the time. You know, he
talks about being on the big stage in front of
the lights, and he said, you watch as games go on,
and he said it all year long. The other team
will start to make mistakes and the Dodgers will capitalize.
(23:10):
He said, you just watch, because that's how the Dodgers
are built. You make a mistake, they're going to take
advantage of it. And last night in the fifth inning,
the Yankees made three mistakes, three enormous mistakes, and when
the Dodgers tied the game, then they in essence had won.
You were just wondering when it was going to happen.
So the Yankees certainly contributed to their own demise. But
(23:33):
given what the Dodgers went through this year, they should
have won it. They should have And what's so funny
and I laugh about it on our show all the time.
Going into the season, on paper, to most people in
this country, major League Baseball went as scripted. The team
with the highest payroll and the best players, and they
went out and bought everybody won, and we hate you
(23:56):
for that. Well, upon further evaluation, that script took me
any plot turns and twists.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Like the pitching alone, Well, they had no pitcher exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
They ran out of pitching all their guys got.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Last night, to my husband when they were down five
to nothing, I'm like this, all this Cinderella talk about
the bullpen and about how they're able to do it
without you know.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
These ace pitchers. It's all great to talk about, but
you need pitching. And then I ate my words.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Wait a minute. You know, in the fifth inning last night,
Dave Roberts, who has done a masterful job, everybody wanted
him fired.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Everybody wants him in the Hall of Fame, right right.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
It took it. It was a one to eighty.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
During that postgame celebration last night, John Smoltz said that
Dave Roberts did a masterful job all through the playoffs
in terms of his management of the team that is
not the same. I mean for Dodgers fans. I think
there was a lot of frustration in each of those
series to think.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
What's he what is he doing?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Why is he doing this again?
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Gary, It's so funny when we take calls, and during
the playoffs we take calls at least once a show,
so we'll take them today as well. And it doesn't matter.
I don't care if they won twenty three to nothing
the Dodgers. Two people are going to call up and
say Hi, fire Dave Roberts. People just call up and
go fire Dave Roberts. If you look at what he
(25:11):
did this year, it was magnificent. And you have to
understand from when he started to where he is now,
he has grown and he has learned. And last night
in the postgame when he's talking on stage, and I
was actually listening on the app driving in from the desert,
so I listened on the APP last night, so I
couldn't see him. To me, he sounded a lot like
Lasorda with that enthusiasm and you know, you want to
(25:32):
parade and this is for all of us. And I
thought he has grown into a pretty damn good manager.
He really has, and I know people get frustrated with him.
He's done a very very good job.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
What a gem we serious.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
I imagine that the conversation that he had with the team,
by the way, before Game five was you can never
count out a team, even when they're down three to zh.
You know, he's talking to the Dodgers to say, we're
up three to zero. We gave up that game of
the game four and eleven to four loss. Okay, that's fine,
but we cannot let up. We can't think of it
(26:09):
in terms of we have three more games to win one.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
You have got to do it right away.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Because his team, back when the Red Sox and the
Yankees were playing in the ALCS, his team was that
team that came back from down.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
That's a great point, an excellent point.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I I when I saw Vassay's interview with Max Munsey
after the was it the Mets series? I thought, Padres,
I thought to myself, this is a team that's going
to go the distance because of what he said about
how the team came together.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
And I mean, that's the X factor really with this.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
And also when you saw that, you knew that Max
had to go get his mouth washed out with soap
from his mom and dad. Give him what he said
live it was, you know a little off color.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Well, I mean they just don't give an f.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I've heard that. Yeah, yeah, I've heard that. I've heard that. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Nobody wants to talk about the Yankees today, but I
want to ask about Aaron Boone was in tears last night.
Wasn't kind of right, wasn't in describing what was going
on because he felt bad that these guys. I mean, this,
this season that the Yankees taught them how to play
defense was ruined by that fifth inning that was. I mean,
had they lost the game, Let's say even they win
(27:27):
that game last night and then win, say for you know,
lose tomorrow night and the Dodgers take the series. That
losing that game that way.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
How does Garrett Cale live with himself?
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Well, how does Aaron judge? How does Anthony Volpia? I mean,
all these guys had these things that I mean, Glaver
Torre is in a base running mind fart where he
almost wiped that run off the board by going into
second on that fly ball.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Wait a minute, how about the pitcher They got a
bark called on him.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Oh yeah, the disengagement.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Yeah, saw it twice. You can't do it again, balk Right,
it's a guy in score positions.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
He could do it the third time. He's just got
to guarantee that he gets the guy out.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Yeah. Well that didn't work. And then there was Catcher's interference. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
So we've got the parade tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
It was very weird. Tomorrow, Praye tomorrow. Fernando's birthday yep.
On Saturday, yep, and Friday it is tomorrow. It's it's
the first. Oh, I'm sorry, I have my days wrong.
So it's Fernando's birthday on the parade.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
And if they had a Game six, it would have
been his birthday on that game.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Fred, you're will be speaking at the parade from the buses, right.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Uh me? Yeah no, But I do have to tell
you years ago they instituted a rule because of me
in this city.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
Tell me it's okay, Fred Rogan.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
So yeah, it started when the Lakers won the championship and.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Uh, burn a bus?
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Did your friend and burn a bus or blow your
fingers off? Champ not didn't do that either. Channel nine
was the rights holder, So you know, if you're the
rights holder, you supply a feed to the other stations.
But as the rights holder, you have microphones and cameras
on top of the bus, and you can have people
on the bus talking to the players, I mean, and
that's what you get because you're paying a right speed.
(29:03):
So Channel four we weren't the rights holder, and here
come the buses, and I, in my youth, would run
alongside the bus while anchoring the coverage. I would just
run so that I thought to myself, well, helen running
alongside the bus, I'll just jump on the bus. So
now I'm on the bus. Yeah, but I'm not supposed
to be on the bus. So you see me standing
(29:23):
at the top of the bus and I'm talking to people,
and it's on Channel four.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
You're not supposed to be there because of Channel nine's rights,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
And everybody got really mad at me. So they instituted
this rule, and if you asked Michael roth down at
Crypto dot com Arena from AEG, it's called the Rogan rule.
And every time they have a parade they institute the
Rogan rule, which is no one is allowed to jump
on the bus. So I will not be addressing anybody
from the bus because I'm not allowed to jump on
because I did it in the past.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Well, in our opinion, you should have your own bus.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
You damn right.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
You did what every good, great news reporter should do, right,
jump on the bus.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
I didn't I know there were any rules there weren't.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I make my own because you're Fred f and Rogan,
damn right, and you don't give an f.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
I don't. I have to go do my show now,
all right?
