Clippers basketball coming up against the Rockets. Clipped six and
eighteen on the season. But hey, you had a couple
good nights At Dodger Talk. We are your home of
(01:07):
the back to back World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers follow.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
The only Clipper game. It is our most modestly priced
earn It is the only Clipper game that is on this.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Week, So it worked out for us.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
You know, six and eighteen, only one Clipper game, because
I believe the NBA Cup quarterfinals, semifinals and all that
stuff are going on, and because the Clippers suck, they
are not part of any of those games, so they
got the majority of the week off. But hey, if
you've been missing it, if you have been pining for
(01:40):
all that good Chris Dunn, John Collins action, you will
get it tonight with that five o'clock tip off. So
your concerns are relieved temporarily.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
And it's only temporary, but very soon and the very
next segment, as a matter of fact, we will have
a conversation the one and only Don McClain are bff
and he will do his oh excuse me, next hour.
I'm sorry. I thought he wanted to come on as
early as possible for his trip to Oregon. That's my bad.
(02:13):
So that's the schedule. Three things Thursday in the very
next segment, and then you'll get Don McLean's take on
the Clippers. You're gonna have to wait over an hour
for that, and that is gonna suck. That's good for us,
You're right, Matt, we'll string them along. We don't have
a prize to string people along. But speaking of prizes,
(02:37):
and I am hopeful that there's some good news music
at news.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
What's waiting for.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Hopeful music at news?
Speaker 5 (02:46):
And I for you, Pa, I don't know. I do
not know the end, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Know what's going on. I got a couple of texts
and eleven like Tim Kates is going up there right
now with his gloves and his balaclava on. And we
had a holiday party today, Matt and I did not attend.
We stayed home. I right now, as we speak, am
stroking my lizard.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I have an image of Catherine z Ada Jones, you know,
as a cat burglar.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Oh yeah, going under the lasers.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yes, like that's what Kate's was forced to do at
our karaoke machine today.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I do have to self report, Matt. I do know
some information about the party, okay. I know that there
was a major raffle and our boss may or may
not have won a television set come on, and that
Michelle mo might have won something.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Can you imagine if Don Martin won a television what
we'd be doing?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Oh, it would be for an hour I mean, my man,
the gods just smiled the pony again again. Can you
believe it? I mean, God is good, Life is good.
Smile by man. Now, Tim Kates, how much did he win? Matt?
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Oh, that shafts his ass.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
You're right about that.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Matt Kates is a lottery guy. Kate's Kates wants to win.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Man. He likes the option, he likes the lottery, he
likes the baseball cards.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
I didn't win power ball last night either.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
I knew you were a guy that would buy the
power ball. That's why I said, you get pissed when
you don't win these things.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
I ran over to the shell station here here at
the studio here and got him last night for Ronnie
and Ronnie, did you win?
Speaker 5 (04:36):
H No, nothing.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
He wouldn't be there if he had won, that would
be there to answer your I got two numbers right, But.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Wow, all that gets you his a piece of paper
that works as a coaster.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Wo.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
So Tim, tell us what happened up there very festive
day here at iHeartRadio LA And I really have to
temper what I'm gonna say and how I say it.
Are you that upset?
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Because as you know, as you walk the halls here
at iHeartRadio on the fourth everybody's here today, Max up
for you guys. Conway even showed up Ding Dong. They're
on the speakers here as you walk through the hallways
the shows. It rotates all seven stations for like a
minute at a time. So I don't want to be
on the air right now.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Tell the truth. You can't be afraid of the truth.
Don't be scared of telling the truth.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
It was a lot like the last previous years.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Degraded into a caligula like alcohol fueled scene.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Well, the last few years has been across the street
at the iHeart Theater. Now they've kind of scrunched it
into the lobby on the fifth floor of iHeart here.
It's not a large lobby, it's not. But again, not
a lot of people left here.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Matt, True, very true.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
And I looked around the room, like, man, I don't
know two thirds of the people.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Did you see anybody legs up in the air, propped
up on a copy of copulating?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
You know what, if I go up right now, I
might right that bar's probably still open.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
That makes that bar was flowing.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
That makes me wish I was there.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Yeah, Usually it's like oh, hey, you know we got
to sponsor this sponsor that they gave us a couple
of cases of this. You're like, I really don't like
that stuff. You know, it's the peanut butter whiskey, and
I don't want that stuff.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Uh, I don't know what.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
How dare you? I here?
Speaker 5 (06:22):
You attack the peanut button. Appreciate those folks.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
There was a full on bar upstairs. I saw people
walking around with beers in bottles, hard liquor. It was flowing.
They even had a charcouterie table.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Well, when you don't turn on the lights at the
iHeart feed or you can afford a lot more charcouit right.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
They had Paul Corbino or Boss talk to everybody and
about what a great year twenty twenty five was and
how we're all family.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
And I am alive.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
I joked. I say this jokingly. If you're listening on
the fifth floor right now, I joked, and I said,
somebody next to me doesn't even know my name.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Howe family, and that's why you can steal the karaoke machine.
Nobody knows who you are.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
So then they said, all right, enjoy your drinks, and
everybody sprinted high knees to the bar.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Yeah, and it's a drunk show.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
They had a Santa Claus there. They had people dressed up.
Somebody was dressed up was at ELF. I thought they
were taking pictures with LSx alf for just this, just
an awkward ELF in the Santa looked like, you know,
he had already.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Been like he smelled like beef and cheese.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Then so they said, all right, food's ready, and I
hit it right on the head. I mean, I should
be a detective. It was ru They sniffed it right out.
Rock and Bruce, Oh my god, you're good.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Jenna love Jenna, She's the best. Rock and Bruce for lunch.
I proceeded to get in line with Matt de Mecki,
our social media director. Forty people deep to get lunch.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
And Jean Simmons was dishing out uh little sliders.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Paul Stanley was doing the pasta. That was cool. We
walked over there and our boss, our bosses Brian Long
and Brian Blackmore were standing with Tim Conway right the
front of the line, right there, the front of the line,
and col is like, don't you dare get a line,
bub go to the back of the line. Bub right
back there, bub. So we had to go back to
(08:22):
the back of the line.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Wow, you were already in the back of the line.
And then they three bout you tried to cut. We
tried to get to the front as you should. And
then they said, all right, everybody made sure you're here
every day.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Everybody made sure they get their raffle tickets because we're
doing a raffle. Everybody gets five blue tickets, okay. And
then they had boxes set up with the description of
all the different prizes and.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Oh, yeah, you can take it in the prize you
want exactly. The prizes were a free day off from work.
I thought about that one. I literally thought about putting ticks.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Like we got like six months built up that they
won't pay us for.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
They had a five hundred dollars Berries tickets gift card.
They had tickets to a Kings game, tickets to Dodgers games.
I don't know how they got that, tickets to a
Clippers Game's not sure how they got that. They had
a five hundred dollars to a sushi place in Beverly
Hills that's actually put a couple of tickets in for
that did not win. And then they had one thousand
(09:19):
dollars MX gift card was the Big Howard's and they
had two TVs fifty eight Westinghouse TVs and a couple
of other things like a Britney ceproty what's her name,
Taylor Swift prize pack for something.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I'd put my ticket in for that one.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
They had a bow's glasses, soundbar, whole like theater thing
you can do, speakers, all that you can get, which
was kind of cool. I didn't win anything.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
Well, once you put your tickets in.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
I put my tickets in for the thousand dollars. I
put my tickets in.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
You sound like Fred saying we didn't get any chair.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Put Oh they had Kings tickets right on the glass,
four tickets front, roller around on the glass, and parking
and a gift card for food.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
You actually wanted that.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
I wanted that expensive tickets to the King's game.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Arm.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
It just feels like we can go to any sporting
event we want.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Am I paying five hundred dollars to go to a Kings.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
You don't think Dave Wee can get you tickets to
a King's game.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Oh, we don't have them anymore. They're on another station
that would I didn't win a prize. Okay, Chris, sorry
to hear that, but I heard. It's always fun to
see the sales execs who are the money makers in
the building, and rightfully so. They're the hardest working people
here on the floor here every day hours really just
(10:38):
punching the clock every day.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
I'd say two hours a week.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
I saw at least three or four sales executives win prizes.
A boss, Brian Long won a prize.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Did you build an anger and violence and resentment as
more people won and you didn't win? Ed Chef Tel
won a prize and you weren't drinking, and they're all
drinking and red faced, and you got to come down
and do two hours of great sports talk. I bet
that filled you with a lot of angst and resentment.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
They announced the final winner for the thousand dollars AMEX
gift card, and as soon as I did hear my
number called, I threw my tickets on the table and
walked out.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That's like the people at r remotes, That's like the
people that are.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
That being said, not happy that I didn't win anything. Oh,
congratulations to Michelle Moo, she won the five hundred dollars
Barry's tickets gift card, so she wn'nt have to hit
you up for pink tickets anymore. Petro said, Krry Yoki.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Did she ever get to that pink show? I don't
know enough.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
There was karaoke, but only one person saying karaoke? What
one guy? I don't even know who he was.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
I've never seen before my life. Well that's really awkward.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
People knew he was cause he were on the fifth floor.
I had no idea who he was.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
You didn't take the machine.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Turns out it's not really a karaoke machine. It's an
audio system they have, like Ronnie owned right, It's with
wireless mics they use inside the sound studio upstairs, and
they played the music through somebody. I think they literally
played it through somebody's iPad or computer, a karaoke version
of the song. He sang no lyrics anywhere. In fact,
(12:25):
about two lines into the song he couldn't remember the
lyrics of the song because he's drunk and just started
like humming the song. And I'm pretty sure he did
not finish the song because people were so just not happy.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Well, it's not karaoke, you know, there's not a screen
with the lyrics that light up. Everyone can follow along
and you know there's inflatable guitars and things like that.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
You know, nothing nothing, So.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Did you bring out did you bring out the karaoke machine?
On the call today?
Speaker 6 (12:57):
We had no call either. People were getting ready for
this party.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
What do you have to do?
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Like the flesh stomach with milk so you can drink
more booze? Like how do you get ready for a
holiday party?
Speaker 6 (13:09):
They told people do not go to that area before
eleven o'clock because people were trying to get to the bar.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Drunk station.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
Real deflator today, guys, real deflator cannot drink. Enjoyed the
food from Rock and heusday, Thank you Katie and Jenna
from Rock and Bruize. Paul Stanley.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
There was food left even when you got up to
the front.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
It's funny you say that because Ronnie was late to
the party to get food because he couldn't wait in
line because Rogan and Rodney and started. So during a
commercial break in Rogan to Rodney, he ran upstairs to
get food and there was no line.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
But there was no food.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
There wasn't a lot of food.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
It was picked over.
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Yeah, there was chicken. The chicken was gone. There were meatballs.
The meatballs were all gone. They had prime rib salad,
and they had some sandwiches, so I could grab me
a few sandwiches and some prime rib salad and made
my way back here disappointed.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Artic bread and no bread man beans, no, no bread.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
No.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
There was one thing that wasn't stuff that left on
his plate, but fat and grissel. I guess this is
This falls under the category of and more fun dot
dot dot. They had a Paul Corvino contest. Paul Corvino
is our boss here the iHeart is the best.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
He's the host of CEOs.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
You should know, right.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
They had a contact it for AE hundred dollars gift card.
Who does the best Paul Corvino impression?
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Oh, than anybody have the bar? Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Well?
Speaker 6 (14:38):
At first, like who wants to come up and do it?
Nobody wanted to do it. So then then one of
the salespeople I don't know who I couldn't see, he said,
all thrown a hundred dollars gift card. If whoever wants
to come up, I would have done it. So three
people went up there and did it. None of the
impressions are very good. I swear I could have done
a way better impression won the whole thing. I would
have said inappropriate things like what hey, how's it going
(15:00):
guys over here? Nice to meet you?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Appropriate?
Speaker 6 (15:04):
I think we've met about three times.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Paul.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I don't care what something, but you should and enjoy
my spot.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Guys, you miss your window, you losers, you guys in
the I Hunt radio CEO, Paul.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Terrible, terrible.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
That was our iHeart party today.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
I could have kicked at that if I knew it
was happening. Let me try it out on this show.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Let's go Round two did not.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
Win a prize.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Wasn't really machine, it was bs It was a Dave
Wee bs iPad special.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Yea that that puts more pressure on Ronnie.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
With one one guy who got up there to sing
and he couldn't finish the song?
Speaker 5 (15:42):
What a drunk?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
And now like between now and our appearance, do we
have any opportunity to get one of these, to get
the company to buy us a karaoke machine?
Speaker 6 (15:54):
I'll ask the person who won the MX gift card
they want to buy one? Oh good idea, Yeah, it
is a good idea. They had an ugly sweater contest
and Matt's favorite person in sales won that contest. By
the way, Oh that guy with the beard, not not Leslie,
the other guy, the guy with the beard Ian.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Yeah, what was his ugly sweater?
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Was it that big black guy with the big puzza
that squats down like as a yule log.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
That would have been good, but it wasn't that. No,
I don't know what it was.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Is that available?
Speaker 5 (16:23):
So yeah, all right.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
I don't want to look. I don't want to run
from this, guys, because it don't mean a thing if
it ain't got that ping ping Alore has gained some
steam with his scooble to the Dodger's trade rumors, how
so more people are picking it up. Matt. It's not
just Pingolore anymore. Am I wrong to say this?
Speaker 5 (16:46):
No?
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Bob Nightingale of a USA Today mentioned it. David Vasse
on Dodge Talk mentioned it. Last night.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Pingolore went on with our competitor and did a victory lap.
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that
ping Matt, we missed, We missed our Pingolore opportunity. Yeah,
I know, there wasn't b You're speechless, aren't you? I
am Pingolore had something. He doesn't seem like a Hornstra type.
(17:17):
It's not like they opened the plane door and it
was the guy from Shark Tank. There is some fire
or some smoke at least in Pingolore's camp. Am I
wrong to say Kate's? Am I wrong to say?
Speaker 6 (17:29):
No, there's a little bit of there's a little bit
of something there.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Soas says change his tone? Am I wrong to say?
Am I wrong to say that? It don't mean to
think if it ain't got that ping? Am I wrong? No?
And we scoped at Christopher Columbus when he said the
world was round. But here's the deal. Here's what I'm
hearing right now.
Speaker 8 (17:47):
Freezer is uh trying to work a deal in a
major trade for Trek school best picture on.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Facebook place for the Tigers. You know, a free agent
after next year.
Speaker 8 (17:56):
Tigers want to get rid of him, to get as
much for him as well. But it certainly looks like
he's gonna end up somewhere. The Dodgers would be the
odds on favorite probably again. They got the capitol and
they got the players. Emma, she should be in that deal.
They got a lot of young pictures as well. And
Scoople is going to be demanding somewhere in free agency.
Three hundred and four million dollars they go. And this
(18:20):
could all happen every opeting. This could drop at any
time here in Orlando.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Stay tuned Dodger Nation to that news. Now Orlando's over,
but Dodger Nation is still staying tuned. And Pingolore, well,
he stood alone as the voice in the wilderness, and
now look at him.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
He was roundly mocked.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
He could have been right. There is something there that
is not just made up by Pingolore, and he deserves,
as they say, as Bill Ryder received the other day
his flowers congratulations to Pinglore. Ping made it sing, wow man, right, guest,
(19:10):
I mean, I know you've been doing chargers work today,
but how does that strike you? Right?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
I mean the casual nature in which it was delivered
A freedman he's talking. You know, these guys, they're they're
they're talking. There's talks and Detroit doesn't even want them.
It's just such a casual, dismissive delivery of information that
sounded so few you could poke full of holes. And
forty eight hours of nothing from from Rosenthal or Morosi
(19:36):
or Nightingale, David Vassy.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
And suddenly, suddenly the rusty wheels start turning.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Wait, we got an update from Pingolore with David Pingolore
on Twitter. Baseball insider from KTLA four hours ago posted
this on x There's no audio. He just tweeted this out.
The Dodgers are in champ hip mode with a three
pet m play, and Trek Scooble remains firmly on their radar.
(20:06):
The talks I reported earlier this week between the Dodgers
and Tigers continue to build as the Winner Meetings wrap
up in Orlando. This is still a real path for
both sides. Players that could be pieces in a deal.
Not all would be Tyler Glass now left handed prospect Jackson, Ferris,
(20:29):
Immit Shean, James Tibbs who they got to trade a
prospect at, an outfielder river Ryaninging, and an upple upper
level relief arm. Detroit holds the ledger Ridge Scott Harris,
their general manager, is weighing a move of a twenty
twenty six free agent, and Scooble would be a significant
addition for a Dodgers team chasing another title.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
That is ping Crosby whipping us all with a sweat.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Wow. Wow, he dragged his d across our graves.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Think about that during the break, Pino Lore, I mean
it hurts, but if you're a Dodger fan, you feel
pretty good about them trying to get Scoobale. Three p fantastic.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Hey, we'll gladly let Ping drag his d if it
means Schoobl's coming to the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Whatever way to go.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Ping. Apparently it does, I mean, damn, or at least
they're in talks. But it'll be interesting to see how
it all plays out. We'll find out more tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Is passing too proud? Is he too proud? Is he
too spiteful to get in on it?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
It could be that, or it could be that it's
not happening.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Yeah, and he knows that it's not happening.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
That he's gonna end up being a free agent because
he's a Boris client and that's what Boris clients like
to do, take it to free agency. So we'll see
how it shakes out. We'll be back with three Things Thursday.
But just remember Pingolore is waiting in the bathroom and
he's holding onto his zipper.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
If this happened, and Pingolore is at almost every Dodger game.
He's out there all the time, all the time. He's
just gonna walk around there strutting so much.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Like like Travolta at the end of the sequel to
Uh Saturday Night Fever. He's gonna strut all around on
the upper west side.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
It was Pingolore that kept spawn from us, right, yes, yes,
that a hole.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
He must be friends with somebody in the Tigers organization.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
You better change your tone about Pingolare, Matt, because we're
gonna be asking him to come on, you know, early
next week.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
Hey, ping can we get you on, mister Pingolore?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Yeah, you know what, let me tell you what tim
I'm gonna send my schedule, me dig into there, okay, but.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
You know what, I'm gonna clear out the afternoon for
you guys.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
See what I got this a little bit of that.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
You guys want to you guys want a piece of
the ping huh.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
We'll be back sudden. You gave the ping a ring huh,
all of a sudden, All of a sudden.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
You want to come and kiss the Ping's ring, don't you.
We'll be right back with three things Thursday, Don McLain
in the next hour. Sorry about that, I made an error.
We're only on for two hours because the Clippers are playing.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah, we've made it even easier to take LA Sports
with you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or
your favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast, a preset
on the iHeartRadio app, using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Road Trip all summer with LA Sports, Oh pan.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Alore strutting through the streets. There is no news in
Detroit that this is in any kind of stage.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
By the way, you know, there's a lot of baseball
information people that are not happy.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I know they don't like getting pained.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
No, they nobody does get pained.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Also, our boss Brian Long did not win a television
at the Christmas party. He picked up Ray Lopez is
television who was working at the time. Would Don Martin
have picked up Ray Lopez his television?
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Yes, I would, and I would have loaded it into
my Jaguar convertible and driven it to my house.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
That's like, sweet James, listen, it's very important that you
don't do anything with that whiskey.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Send it to me, Send it to me.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
All right, it's time for three pings Thursday, stretching around.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Three fisters, got some audio.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Today we further these stories surrounding Philip Rivers. As we
said yesterday, he is not coming back to mentor Riley
Leonard to be a coach, to run a scout team,
to be an in case of emergency break glass. He
is going to play. He is going to start. He
is going to play. And the best measure of that
(25:12):
being the truth is the odds makers. It is Philip
Rivers that is listed as the over under passing yards
by all of the gambling sites, not Riley Leonard, not
Anthony Richardson, not anybody else that's on the practice squad.
It is Philip Rivers over under one hundred and fifty
nine passing yards.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Now, I mean, why do you pull the You don't
pull the sheet off the old Chevrolet unless you're gonna
take it for a spin around the neighborhood man.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
And there's someone that doesn't like you taking it for
a spin around the neighborhood pee. There's someone that feels like,
why didn't I get that call? What is it about
forty four year old Philip Rivers who hasn't played football
in five years? That makes him so special. And let's
see if you can recognize the voice that was incredibly
insulted that he wasn't asked to come join Shane Steichen
(25:58):
in the eight and five Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
It's almost like a slap in my face.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Bro, It's like, what do you think? P Who was that?
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Is that Willy Wonka himself?
Speaker 4 (26:08):
It is not Willy Wonka himself that says I ain't
gonna lie Bro, I felt it.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Give it to me one more time if you don't
mind their kse.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Cam Newton, Willy Wonkeryah, there you go. Well that's what
I'm saying. He dresses like Willy Wonka.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Oh yeah, I was thinking steampunk. Good point, Willy Wonka.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
It is Cam Newton who I would say probably.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
But he doesn't have a relationship with Shane steike In
like no.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
And I would probably say operates an offense one hundred
and eighty degrees opposite of how Shane Steiken operates an
offense everything that Stikeen would want from his quarterback. It's
probably not something that Cam Newton possesses, uh nor has
ever possessed in his football career. And as you pointed out,
(26:57):
may it be Willy Wonka, may it be steampunk. Seems
as though the layers of clothing, the hats, the strips
of fabric on the hats, the choice of eyewear just
a lot to take on. And for all the people
that are saying they don't want the distract.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
You don't want your quarterback. I mean a lot of
people are hanging mouthpieces these days. But I heard that
that Cam Newton's gonna hang a monocle from his right,
from his face mask if he plays well. I mean
to see that somebody gets signed and make it about
yourself when you have no idea about you don't have
a relationship with that coach, like the guy you know
(27:36):
that the guy that they called does let him play.
That seems a little odd.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Yes, so that's our that's our first thing, Cam Newton,
slap in the face. They didn't want the circus to
come to town. You're right, You're exactly right. I would
have played you more, but it was incredibly annoying audio.
So I just wanted to play that little clip to
him saying I thought it was a slap in the face.
But the sort of the antithesis of the I should
(28:02):
say into this The crux of the conversation was they
don't want Cam Newton. They don't want everything that Cam
Newton brings, even though they you know, Cam Newton is
in better shape than Philip Rivers and might be a
more viable athlete at this point, at this age. Yeah,
you're right, You're exactly right. They don't want to bring
that in than if it was Cam Newton not dressed
(28:25):
as Willy Wonka, maybe that would be the case. The
second thing is kind of a bummer. This is some
bummer audio right here, and it's only because we have
a precedent that exists of one of our favorite quarterbacks
to watch play football surprise us and retire way before
we thought he was going to retire. In the case
of Andrew Luck, which it's been a long time now,
(28:47):
I remember Philip Rivers was in Indianapolis because Andrew Luck
retired early. But here's Joe Burrow yesterday kind of talking
about everything he's been through. Guy keeps getting hurt, Bengals
keep throwing out of defense that can't stop anyone, and
Burrow's losing games thirty five to thirty one, missing the playoffs,
(29:07):
and what seemed like a pretty simple question turned into
about a minute and a half two minute moment of
introspection and just kind of putting it all out there
about where he stands mentally and emotionally right now.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
For Joe Burrow, how is the injury.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
That you have change the way that you do the game?
Speaker 9 (29:27):
No, it certainly doesn't change my desire to win. You know,
if I want to if I want to keep doing this,
I have to have fun doing it. You know, I've
been through a lot, and if it's not fun, then
what am I doing it?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
For?
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Sonny?
Speaker 9 (29:48):
That's the mindset I'm trying to bring to the table.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
How much are you having right now?
Speaker 8 (29:53):
It's so difficult to have fun given the season, what
you've been through, physically, emotionally, all of it.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
Yeah, yeah, certainly.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Did you have fun playing with the I mean, how
much of it was fun?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Before?
Speaker 4 (30:08):
The Wings? Always fun?
Speaker 3 (30:09):
But in general, was it fun before you got hurt?
Did you view it that way it was?
Speaker 9 (30:13):
I wouldn't say. I wouldn't say I viewed it that way.
I think.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
What was the changing point?
Speaker 9 (30:21):
Changing point?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 9 (30:23):
I'm not sure there was a singular moment or of time.
It's just a reflection, reflection, on a lot of things
that I've done and been through.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
In my career.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
I think I've been through more than most and certainly
not easy on the the brain or the body. So
let's trying of if I'm doing it again.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Bummer, Yeah, probably maybe it's because he got robbed.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Did that?
Speaker 4 (30:55):
They do think that was part of it that he
felt incredibly He was not happy that his privacy was invaded.
He was violated, violated. But I don't know if there's
a quarterback I like watching play football more right now
than Joe Burrow. I think a lot of people feel
that way. And Bummer that between the offensive line and
(31:16):
the injuries and the hits that he's taken, all of
the failures despite the offense being justin.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Herbert just heard you say that, and now he's depressed
like Joe Burrow.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
That's the certainly protect these guys man. And then finally
a quick routine bitching and moaning and pitching a fit session.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
The NFL reportedly is going to expand replay to now
include review of crackback blocks, low blocks, blind side blocks,
intentional grounding to determine a receiver's position on the field.
Sweet and this is the big one illegal formation on
(32:02):
the new dynamic kickoff to ensure that everyone's feet are
on the ground when the ball is touched and no
one has left early.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Don't they run for like thirty yards anyway?
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Can we just like I get it? Can you just
do the buzz down like they do in college for everything?
You know the the game that on Monday between the
Chargers and the Eagles, there's three freight face masks where
guys almost get their heads taken off, twice on Kamani
by Dell and one on the Eagles Britton Covey. Can
you not just have a guy buzzed down and say, hey,
(32:40):
you idiots, did you not miss his head going backwards?
And just here's the fifteen yards?
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Well, I don't think that has to be insulting.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Every year, every year they add like three or four
more things all those year, we're going to add blind
side blocks to the review process.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Yeah, it's not like they've kind of litigated that out
of the game a lot of it.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
I don't need the microsuch just a have it sponsored
by Microsoft surface put a banner on the bottom of
the screen. I don't need your running a tablet out
to a guy on the field. That has nothing to
do with the decision. It's all being done on five
hundred inch screens in New York City. Just let him
buzz and say you missed it. Fix, let's move on,
(33:24):
as opposed to the way they continue to do this
and expand it. So hopefully there's some way that we
can get to the college model that seems to be
incredibly efficient and much more entertaining because it does not
slow the game down whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Yeah, you could talk to Perreira and he's waiting to
tell you what's going on. And by the time Pereira's done,
they're done with the review and we're moving on right,
and the game only took three hours and forty eight minutes.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
Is great, that's it, it's really moving.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
We'll be back with more great sports talk.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Sad Joe Burrow, God did that suck? Sad Joe Burrow
neglected Cam Newton. I'll slap in my face?
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Why and angry Matt Smith.
Speaker 5 (34:10):
Nobody likes you. Why is that a slap in your face?
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Now? That is not true, Matt. A lot of people
like Cam Newton.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Well, I should say like in terms of yeah, you're right,
I retract that. I mean there's taylorbody wants you to
quarterback their team.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
There's Taylor's from coast to coast, and some in Europe
that want to build that guy's next down.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
For They're very excited about it.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
We'll be right back with some reaction. Don McLean set
to join us in the second hour. Clipper's playing tonight.
Try not to get too excited.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Hello, PMS listener, did you know Am five seventy LA
Sports has a wide range of LA sports podcasts. There's
Rogan and Rodney.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
That one is my favorite, Dodger.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Talk with David, the Dodger Podcast of record, Clipper Talk
without a Musk, follow us all and many more. Just
go to AM five to seventy LA Sports on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Well, thank you for listening, Petro send money back with
you on AM five seventy LA Sports. We hope that
you enjoyed three things Thursday and Sad Joe Burrow. We
still have Don McLean coming out. We have a four
hour show tomorrow and we have a big trip to
(35:34):
West Covina to celebrate a week from today. We'd love
it if he came out to West Covina.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
I'll be out there. I want to win.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Maybe he will. You know, our boss yesterday went to
Tim Conway Pasadena, Jay Leno party.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
That's right. I think West Covina on a Thursday's in
his future.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
I don't know. I love mine, Kate.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
You's gonna be there. Kate's gonna be there, right.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Yeah, Kate's just got to find a way to give
away all this stock, right, So we'll be out there.
It's a four hour show at three o'clock. The BJ's
in West Covina a week from today tonight, Matt, we
got a Clipper.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
Game five o'clock ten.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
That's why we're on so early, four o'clock at am
Mouslin about an hour from now. Clips are six and eighteen.
Then went twelve straight just to get back to five hundred.
They have such a light week because they are not
part of the NBA Cup. That's who's playing this week.
It's all the Lakers played last night against the Spurs,
Spurs and Thunder. We'll do battle. I think the Knicks
(36:56):
are still in it. The Clippers are six and eighteen.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Thanks for staying on top of the NBA Cup.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
Matt, that's right, I love it. Me and Mayor Bass,
thanks for talking to me your cup people.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Man, all right, it's time for a few text Sosa reaction.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Fine, brought to you by your sokel Toyota dealers.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
We make it easy, Petros. Why didn't anybody call the
Big Noon desk to be the coach's QB. Just think
they could have Brady Quinn and his forty two kids
in a suite or Matt Lioner tiktoking in the huddle
before every play, could you imagine? And both those guys
are like four years younger than eight head Rivers. That
is true. But do they have a relationship with Shane Steichen?
Speaker 5 (37:38):
That's right?
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Can they come in and run the offense and speak
the language? That's the question. No powerball prize, no food
on his plate. That's what Ronnie gets for being a
stingy ass pool with his karaoke machine. Oh you know what,
I gotta be honest, I'm not sure I endorse that.
I know what it's like to have a wife say
(38:01):
no and then have to tell everybody that my wife
said no. But I do have to say that's not
the only text I got like that. That was glad
that the food was picked over at the holiday party.
By the time I can't say, and it doesn't make
me happy because I don't want the listeners to root
(38:21):
against Ronnie. I wanted us to get a fill in
for Ronnie on Thursday and have Ronnie come to West
Covina where he does have family roots and use his
karaoke machine and sing eyes without a face or situation
by yazz or something. Right, That's what I wanted. And
(38:45):
that's not what's going to happen. But Tim Kates is
going to come out, so at least we got that
going for us. Matt mentioned Don Martin's jag you are.
I remember that time you guys were complaining about having
to go to San Diego and Don said he could
get there in forty five minutes. A story that's not
exactly how I went down, but for many years Don
(39:08):
Martin told everybody, and you can help me out here,
that he drove from San Diego two thousand oaks.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
And I believe he said ninety minutes. And I think
he said it was like Carl's bad. He's like, my man,
it was Carl's bad. It wasn't downtown San Diego. I
said it was Carl's bad. I think it was Carl's bad.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
The story's changed over the years. I thought it was
the border to Ardmore.
Speaker 5 (39:35):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
I think it was from like Carl's Bad Home and
there was no traffic and it was ninety minutes.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
My man, They're like.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
Wow that that seems like you were going like one
hundred and fifty miles an hour.
Speaker 5 (39:50):
Boss.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
No.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
The best time anybody's wife said no was when you
were left hanging outside that random guy's apartment and his
wife wouldn't let you. Yes, that happened. I remember that
I dropped off a couple of listeners and they said,
please come in and have a drink. So I waited
on the patio that one the guy came back out
and said, my wife said that you cannot come in.
Speaker 6 (40:19):
Was there a reason ever given for then?
Speaker 3 (40:21):
I think she had just you know, she had a
baby and she's just.
Speaker 5 (40:24):
Over it and they were drunk.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
They were drunks.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Coming back from afternoon Radio. Yeah, idiot husband, and she
didn't want am Radio Petros in her house. Petro did
Kate's just go to the holiday party to do bumps
on the fifth floor bathroom stall. You know everybody knows
eight ball Tim only comes to the party to make
it snow.
Speaker 6 (40:48):
It was not snowing and burdray today.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
Okay, this says Wait, I'm confused. Yeah, I would do
just about anything to get Scoobale to the Dodgers. But
what's dragging their d on my Is it ping with
his dingling across my thing? Yes? Yes, it is ping
Alore with the news about the schoobl talks, which apparently
(41:14):
are still ongoing. We're not saying it's gonna happen. We're
just saying Ping doesn't look as bad as he did.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
You're saying someone else has joined the conversation.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
He doesn't look as bad as he did. Three D. Yeah,
that's all.
Speaker 5 (41:27):
That's all Nightingale's in.
Speaker 4 (41:28):
But didn't Nightingale just get clowned by someone he like
posted something and some other inside its every day that happening.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Nightingale hasn't spelled a word right since ninety eight. Like,
but that's the baseball world that we watch during the
hot stove, Matt. That's what we do. Yeah, that's how
we do it. And we're gonna be right back with
your word number. Song of the Day, Don McLain and
You're dead and a live guy. Birthday of the Day.
It's a Crunchy Groven Thursday, Whether without Ronnie singing yeahs
(41:59):
in West Covie, Yeah,
