great appreciation for the picture that we put on Twitter

(03:12):
and the great and powerful Mike Nelson in the show Seahawks.

Time, I couldn't take Pete topside, not to let job

every excuse in the world to quit and save his life,
and he stayed.

To bury the lead on us.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
So now I'm gotten sick, a little bit of a
head cold, but I'll be all right, I'll tough it through.
You know, it could be worse, could be Sharon Moore
right now?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Right? Yeah, but did you impregnate somebody here saying it
could be worse? Well, yeah, but he could be worse.
But like it's like he's been running from that problem
for like a year. It feels like, you know, it's
like is there something hanging over you? I mean we
all have something hanging over.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Nothing hanging over me. Just the head cold, you know,
a little bit of stuff in there.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Right, I mean, you know we could say that, like
you could totally say I'm glad that I'm not Sharon
More could be worse. Thys are bad, but look what
happened to Sharon. Or that's a really bad day. I mean,
it's been a bad forty eight hours for Sharon Man. Well, yeah,
whenever you're pulling a legedly pulling a butter knife out
of a drawer and threatening to kill yourself and somebody
(07:11):
else with it. No, no, that's that's bad. But still
I'm concerned about your head cold. I'll be okay, Just
stay four feet away from me, will be good. Well,
it's kind of hard. I mean, we're doing the show.
But anyway, schedule talk is as follows. We have a
few things to get to schedule. Like we said, we'll
(07:33):
have Brandon Gomes on as the show goes on. But
next Thursday, a week from yesterday, Matt and I and
Kate's is coming to Ronnie's not coming. Somebody's gotta bring
all this stuff. We are live at the BJ's right
off the ten in West Covina. Not a sewer that
(07:56):
Covina wanted to build in West Covina, but an actual town.
We will be at the West Covina BJS from three
to seven the final petros and Money Show remote of
twenty twenty five. We're gonna empty out the Petrosen Money office.
We've got tickets, we've got gift cards, We've got a
Westinghouse HDTV. We have so much to offer. We have
(08:20):
four Matt Money Smith, bobbleheads, two four twenty ash trays.
So much to offer? Did I say? The Westinghouse HGTV.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Hunted T shirts? So no matter if you're a double
X or a medium.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
We got a T shirt and Kate's is thinking about
how to sort those out as we speak. Also, I
just pulled these out of the kitchen area in our
office here on the fourth floor. And more prizes for
the people. Well there's a stack. What like there's like
at least fifty of these DVDs stacked up. I just
took two because I don't like to be a hoarder.
(09:01):
Is it the same thing? Different? They're all the same DVD.
It's Pumpkins Sculpting with professional artist Terry Harden. What pumpkin Sculpting?
If you're the type of person who believes you don't
have an artistic bone in your body, you need to
buy this dvd. Even if even if you're not sure
(09:23):
of your pumpkin design, just wait until you place a
light inside it. You'll love what you've done. I'll show
you step by step how to create fantastic and dimensional
sculpted pumpkins. Well that sounds rivet. Be careful sculpting pumpkins
may release the secret artist in you. Some of my
(09:43):
students have gone on to write books, carve eggshells, sculpt wood,
and create jewelry. Many have become well known pumpkins sculptors
in their neighborhoods. Others just come back for the fun
of it. That's Terry Harden, professional artist and he looks
like a white chick with dreads, a white rostapasta. I
(10:03):
wonder why there's fifty these. I've taken two. Should we
give these away on Thursday? Will these make the cut
for the Petros and Money giveaway? Are you kidding me?
That's a yes. You're gonna go get more. You're gonna
go get one for the whiny left.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
I mean, by the time we go to commercial in
the next seven to eight minutes, there may be all gone.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I'm gonna go to the KFI podcast and podcasts because
I'm sure she was on one of those shows. And
Ronnie's very excited about this as well. I it seems running.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
You know, Petros. I went in there earlier and I
saw those DVDs that you speak of, and there are
a couple of them, if I'm not mistaken, that are autographed.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
There's one. There were two in.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
There when I went in there earlier.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Well, somebody took it. There's at least one I saw
that's personally autographed. I didn't want to be that persump.
Somebody check Kevin Fingers back then.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
That could be like a Grand prize. I mean it's autographed, right.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
It is an autograph DVD. I don't know how much
autograph dds go for on the market, but in the
art world, I'm not exactly sharing. What is it Kate's Do.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
You know any well known pumpkin pumpkin sculptors?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I think it's a regional thing.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Because I just looked it up and there are two
that are just above everybody.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Is she one of them?
Speaker 6 (11:15):
I'm not seeing Terry harden as one of them. Joye
Kusama from Japan and Ray Villa Fane, who's really good
at three D pumpkin carving, are the two biggest pumpkins.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Aren't all pumpkins three d's They're not two D or
aren't they like all?
Speaker 6 (11:31):
No, he's the pioneer in three D pumpkin art. Ray
Villa Fane maybe makes a guest appearance and Pumpkins School.
Check out her dreads Very cool, right, Pumpkins sculpting. Well,
we got these to give away next Thursday as well.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yes, And on the show tonight, we've got a lot.
We've got an Only Kate's Cares, which is a huge
moment for everybody. I don't think we're gonna have time
to get I think we're gonna have time to get
into it. We're gonna make sure it happens. H David
Vassa is gonna join us, Gomes is going to join us.
In the very next segment, we'll talk to Brandon Gomes
(12:07):
about all things Dodgers. We will talk to Alan Sleewall
of the Talking Hoops podcast Oops Talk, Hoops Talk, I'm sorry,
Hoops Talk podcast, and he also does daily reports here
on a seventy and the Hoops Talk podcast, which is
quite popular on YouTube, is also on the iHeartRadio app.
(12:30):
We'll have a college football whip. As there's been quite
a Friday news up. Tim Kats just referred to the
Sharon Moore situation. My one time friend in now nemesis,
Kyle Whittingham, I'm just sort of kidding, is stepping down
at Utah. I just saw that. Is that a surprise
or has that been known for well, he named a
coach in waiting last year. Oh okay, so, but a
(12:53):
lot of people are saying he's stepping down to take
the Michigan job. No, I don't think so, don't think so. Okay,
but crazier things have happened. But I don't think that's
what's happening. I don't think Kyle Whittingham wants to try
to rebuild Michigan in the final years of his coaching career.
He would either just stay at Utah or retire, which
(13:16):
is what he's doing. It feels like a good time
to get out if you're Kyle winning. Perhaps, yes, so
that that is happening. And of course all the Sharon
Moore stuff, and Washington State hired a coach Rick new
heisl congratulations, Ricky, No, no job for you, Ricky knew.
I thought it was a father son due. I thought
(13:37):
it was too and they were going to do the
same thing as Dick and Tony Bennett did at Washington State.
But no, no, They've hired Kirby Moore from the Chris
Peterson coaching tree. Kirby Moore is Kellen Moore's little brother.
He's been a very good play caller. He was at
Fresno State for a while doing a great job where
Jake Hayner was there and now Kirby was at Missou
(13:59):
last year year with your guy Drinkwitz, m i Z.
Kirby Moore is was the OC at Missoo and now
he's the head coach at Wazoo. So from Missoo to Wazoo.
A couple of stories in the Friday News start so
(14:20):
we will have a college football whip around. We'll talk
to Brandon Gomes in the very next segment about the
things that you would talk to the Dodger GM about.
We'll ask him about the World Baseball Classic. We'll ask
him about Eddie Daz. You think there's a way to
sneak in I I don't know. I'm gonna have to
kind of tiptoe around it. But there's got to be
(14:40):
a way to ask him about this Trek school Bowl
pingle or ask him if he's ever seen him, you know,
soft him up, ask him if he's ever seen a
pumpkin carving or pumpkin sculpting. I'll stay away from there
and then when he you know, opens up about that
and his pumpkin sculpting days in Massachusetts, then and maybe
two lane, you know in college with a college girlfriend,
(15:02):
a sweetheart, then you hit him under the belt with
the scoobl That's how I would handle it. But I
don't work on Dodger Talk or Marongo Casino Dodgers on
deck like some people. Once we get to the break,
it is going to be a sprint like the F
one report, like a sprint race into the kitchen to
(15:26):
get that autographed pumpkin sculpting DVD. I met Ronnie just mentioned.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Well, right before the show started, I was the last
man in and I saw two bodies, two shadows, walk
in that direction. Now I hope fingers crossed. They were
just going with these two. We have to give away
these two I designated for our listener. But the auto,
the auto DVD autographed one. I hope I don't find
it in Burbank Sports Cars. I was there last night,
helped close out the place. We'll be right back in
(15:56):
ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Brandon Gomes the Dodgers GM on, all the latest about
your Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Do hey.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
When Vass comes on, we got to ask him if
Pingolore was at this press conference today? Oh great, call, right,
I mean you stir up the Dodger hot Stoves.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Pylord, nobody's gone harder than Panoloor. You throw some more
wood on that fire. Pingolare has made the stove very hot.
Look at Freeman, Look at Goms. We'll talk to Goms
next in his beard. It's gonna be a race for
that autograph. Petro, some money continues on a frog Man Friday.
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
(16:34):
you this summer.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
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 road Trip all summer
with LA Sports.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Welcome back, everybody, Petra send money on AM five seventy
LA Sports On a Frogman Friday, your home of the
back to back World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Tim
kaits co hosting today and it was a big day
over at Dodger Stadium. Always fun in the off season
(17:08):
or in the hot stove. Dodger fans have learned to
celebrate new signings and think favorably upon the future because
of moves that guys like Brandon Gomes. Specifically, guys like
Brandon Gomes are making a friend of the show, come
a long way since his days as a young towny
(17:32):
in the north, in the Northeast. I'm sorry, I shouldn't
say that. Joining us on your Southern California Celebrity hotline.
It is Dodger GM making huge moves, Edwin Diaz introduced today.
Last time you spoke before that, you guessed it at
the parade. I might have talked to somebody in Orlando,
(17:53):
but I wasn't there. Gomes, what's cracking. How are you.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Doing well? Guys? Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Oh, it's fabulous to have you. Just give us a
little idea of how this took shape With Edwin Diaz,
it felt like it caught a lot of people, especially
stupid people like us, off guard.
Speaker 8 (18:13):
Yeah, I mean, going into the off season obviously looking
for ways to add to what's already a really talented roster.
So there's not you know, there's only so many names
that you know makes sense as far as like really
impactful additions like this, so you know, keep in touch,
but not sure how it was all going to play out.
(18:35):
And then over the last week or so, you know,
things started to materialize to where, okay, we might actually
have a shot here and you know, had the opportunity
to really engage in conversations, and I feel like both
sides were ready to make a move, and you know,
fortunate enough to ultimately get get Sugar Sugar Dias on
(18:57):
the team.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
What was it about Edwin in particular, or what was
it that you guys circled him on your board and
wanted him to be that back into the bullpen kind
of guy.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Yeah, I mean the track record of dominant and having
done it on the biggest stage obviously in New York,
and then also being it firsthand in the postseason.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
That's first and foremost.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
And then you know, you start digging on the just
the person and the character and what he brings to
the table and from a clubhouse perspective and mentoring younger
guys in his ability to go out there and take
the ball like whenever the team asks in order to
(19:41):
help him win. You know, really selfless type guy that
fits in with our other superstars with no ego, so
that that total package was incredibly appealing. You have the
opportunity to add that talent and then also that person
in the clubhouse who was you know, was a no brainer.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Once we get down to it.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Last year, you guys made a splash and free agency
with the bullpen as well with Kirby Yates Tanner Scott.
Tanner Scott didn't have certainly the season you guys had
expected him to have, And he'll be the first person
to say that, what do you guys expect out of
Tanner Scott and how he can kind of fit in
and piece together with Edwin Diaz at the back end
of that bullpen.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Yeah, I think, you know, talking to Tanner recently and
you know, just throughout the season, fully expect him to
come back to his previous dominance as well and feel
like it's a great, you know, another great piece to
have in our pen to go along with a bunch
of other guys who have who've done it once again,
have a track record of just being really hard to hit,
(20:42):
and he's going to be another important piece to us,
you know, trying to go out and win another championship.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Gomer.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
When you guys go to Orlando for the Winter meetings,
how are the Dodgers received by everybody else around Major
League Baseball? You know, if you look on social media,
you guys are the evil Empire the now, But you
go to Orlando and the Baseball Winter Meetings when the
Dodgers walk in and those quarters at Polos are being
warred with that Dodger logo on it. How are the
(21:09):
Dodgers seen around Baseball and Orlando when you guys are
at the Winter Meetings?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Is back to back world champs?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I'm not really sure.
Speaker 8 (21:17):
I think we have a lot of really good relationships
across across the game, and you know, I think the
Winter Meetings, everybody knows that you're there to go and
try to make your team.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
As good as possible.
Speaker 8 (21:29):
And you know, obviously it's great coming off back to
back championships, but nothing, you know, taking nothing for granted
and continuing to try to grind and do everything we
can to go out and put the best team out
there again.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
And you guys certainly do that. And there's always trade
rumors going on this time of the year, and you
guys are all together. I mean, we think of the
Dodgers as this global organization and you guys are, but
you guys all work together, are in contact together. How
do you guys deal with some of your own players
being named in trade rumors? Is that uncomfortable?
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (22:06):
I mean some of this stuff that comes out there
is like, wow, that's that's in Brandon know we were doing
that or I didn't know that guy was being talked about.
So I think a lot of it's funny.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
You know.
Speaker 8 (22:18):
Obviously, if there's any concern, we will just reach out
to the player agent specifically.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
But you know, you.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
Can't help what's put out there, and a lot of it,
the vast majority of it is just made up. So,
you know, I think it's really important to maintain good
relationships with our players and keep the lines of communication
open when when things like that pop out there, to
make sure there's no you know, the game of assumptions
can be dangerous.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Brandon, with a closer now signed going into twenty twenty six,
what else are you guys as a front office looking
for for this this roster in twenty twenty six? What
what are the other needs that maybe you guys are
looking at to address.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Yeah, I'm not sure as much needs with you know,
we have so much versatility and already really talented roster.
It's being you know, patient and you know, continuing to assess.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
What's available to whether it's a hey, this is another
you know impact you.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
Know, quote unquote splashy mover or is this just another
like good move to help us win baseball games and
round out a roster and you know, giving us different
options both now and in the future.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
So I think there's a.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Lot of just kind of assessing what's available and looking
at our own roster internally and how to make it
as strong as possible and built to you know, be
successful both in the regular season, which means you have
to have a lot of really good players in depth,
and then also in the postseason and how to you know,
(23:51):
strike that balance.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Brandon Goms joining us right now on the Petros and
Money Show. Dodgers GM A man who wields power, are
over one of the great franchises from the history of
sports going through a golden age right now. But no
matter how gold in the age has goals. Do you
guys take calls on like Christmas Eve and Christmas Day?
(24:13):
In New Year's Day? Does the stove remain hot on
these certain like does any does anybody take a day
off when it comes to the holidays and the stove?
Speaker 8 (24:25):
Yeah, I mean we certainly try to. My wife might
disagree with me, but yeah, that's the goal. There needs
to be at some point some unplugging and put the
phone down, and as you could, it's the type of
job that really it's you could always be digging on
players or looking at somebody else, and so at a
certain point think okay, let's we're gonna put this down
(24:46):
and go be with your family. I think that's also
a really important part of being able to recharge and
then come back, you know, at full force after that,
you know, being able to spend some quality time with
the family.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
Brandon's certainly a lot to talk the last couple of
days about maybe a potential blockbuster deal that could be
out there and made between the Dodgers and a northern
another organization in Major League Baseball. Certainly you can't say anything,
we all understand that. But would the Dodgers be in
the market for a front of the rotation left hander
if one was out there?
Speaker 8 (25:21):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know if that's necessarily or
pressing a pressing need at this point. So I think
we said with everything we do, we're we're having conversations
and finding ways to you know, trying to figure out
if this is something that makes sense for us, both
in the short term and long term. And some things
(25:41):
play out and some things don't. So I think how
we function is like be open on everything and if
it makes sense ultimately we'll do it.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Finally, since there's so many players on your team that
are from other countries, especially Japan, and some of the
most important players Heroic Coofax like Yoshinobu Yamamoto, shoe O Tani,
Roki Sasaki, and the World Baseball Classic is coming up.
How many conversations do you have with those guys or
(26:11):
the Japanese government. I mean, I don't know if you
call their prime minister or I mean, how does it work.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
Yeah, there's a formal process that you have to go
through with Major League Baseball and then the PA and
having conversations. So those things take some time, and like
anything we do, we have the conversations with the player
and figure out, you know what what ultimately is the
you know what we come down to. So those are
(26:39):
still down the road and we've got to figure that
out here coming up in the next I don't even
know what the date is, but over the next couple
of weeks we'll continue to have those conversations.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Final thing for me, Brandon, as a forward pitch of yourself,
and a player. Have you had a chance to just
step back in the last six weeks since the end
of the World Series and kind of digest what happened
in that World series, from the eighteen Inni Marathon game
to the appearances that guys made from the Willkleines of
the world, to what Yamamoto did to Game six, the catches,
(27:13):
Game seven, the catch and the outfield, the home runs,
I mean, the dramatics of it all. We may never
see a World series like that again. Heck, we're replaying
Game seven all the time here on a FI seventy
l A Sports and that more popular than our show
is replaying the games three, four, five, six and seven
of the World Series because everybody just wants to get
see them and they can't get enough of them. Have
(27:34):
you had a chance just kind of realize, my gosh,
what we did was pretty special.

news when her phone was hacked and naked pictures of
her and Tiger Woods were.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Leaked to the web. She made the crossover.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
Very attractive woman made the crossover from a downhill Olympic
skier to a pop culture figure since she dated a
hockey player and a golf superstar. Well, she's back at
forty one years old to do what Lindsey Vaughn after
major knee surgery four years ago forced her to retire

check her out the Olympics. I'm sure they'll make a
big deal about her return.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
I'm sure they will. I covered her for all those Olympics.
I remember when I was working at the Korean station
and Fred had to go to the last Olympics in Italy.
Back when Fred was feeling his oats a little bit more.
He wasn't even in today, was he. No? No, no,
it was Adam. So maybe he's down at bertz Burger's.
(37:52):
Maybe maybe he's sculpting a pumpkin. Well, you better have
a DVD to help him out. Maybe he's churning his
own butter. We'll be back with your word number song

You know, it could be worse, could be Sharon Moore
right now?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Right? Yeah, but did you impregnate somebody here saying it
could be worse? Well, yeah, but he could be worse.
But like it's like he's been running from that problem
for like a year. It feels like, you know, it's
like is there something hanging over you? I mean we
all have something hanging over.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Nothing hanging over me. Just the head cold, you know,
a little bit of stuff in there.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Right, I mean, you know we could say that, like
you could totally say I'm glad that I'm not Sharon
More could be worse. Thys are bad, but look what
happened to Sharon. Or that's a really bad day. I mean,
it's been a bad forty eight hours for Sharon Man. Well, yeah,
whenever you're pulling a legedly pulling a butter knife out
of a drawer and threatening to kill yourself and somebody
(07:11):
else with it. No, no, that's that's bad. But still
I'm concerned about your head cold. I'll be okay, Just
stay four feet away from me, will be good. Well,
it's kind of hard. I mean, we're doing the show.
But anyway, schedule talk is as follows. We have a
few things to get to schedule. Like we said, we'll
(07:33):
have Brandon Gomes on as the show goes on. But
next Thursday, a week from yesterday, Matt and I and
Kate's is coming to Ronnie's not coming. Somebody's gotta bring
all this stuff. We are live at the BJ's right
off the ten in West Covina. Not a sewer that
(07:56):
Covina wanted to build in West Covina, but an actual town.
We will be at the West Covina BJS from three
to seven the final petros and Money Show remote of
twenty twenty five. We're gonna empty out the Petrosen Money office.
We've got tickets, we've got gift cards, We've got a
Westinghouse HDTV. We have so much to offer. We have
(08:20):
four Matt Money Smith, bobbleheads, two four twenty ash trays.
So much to offer? Did I say? The Westinghouse HGTV.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Hunted T shirts? So no matter if you're a double
X or a medium.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
We got a T shirt and Kate's is thinking about
how to sort those out as we speak. Also, I
just pulled these out of the kitchen area in our
office here on the fourth floor. And more prizes for
the people. Well there's a stack. What like there's like
at least fifty of these DVDs stacked up. I just
took two because I don't like to be a hoarder.
(09:01):
Is it the same thing? Different? They're all the same DVD.
It's Pumpkins Sculpting with professional artist Terry Harden. What pumpkin Sculpting?
If you're the type of person who believes you don't
have an artistic bone in your body, you need to
buy this dvd. Even if even if you're not sure
(09:23):
of your pumpkin design, just wait until you place a
light inside it. You'll love what you've done. I'll show
you step by step how to create fantastic and dimensional
sculpted pumpkins. Well that sounds rivet. Be careful sculpting pumpkins
may release the secret artist in you. Some of my
(09:43):
students have gone on to write books, carve eggshells, sculpt wood,
and create jewelry. Many have become well known pumpkins sculptors
in their neighborhoods. Others just come back for the fun
of it. That's Terry Harden, professional artist and he looks
like a white chick with dreads, a white rostapasta. I
(10:03):
wonder why there's fifty these. I've taken two. Should we
give these away on Thursday? Will these make the cut
for the Petros and Money giveaway? Are you kidding me?
That's a yes. You're gonna go get more. You're gonna
go get one for the whiny left.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
I mean, by the time we go to commercial in
the next seven to eight minutes, there may be all gone.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I'm gonna go to the KFI podcast and podcasts because
I'm sure she was on one of those shows. And
Ronnie's very excited about this as well. I it seems running.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
You know, Petros. I went in there earlier and I
saw those DVDs that you speak of, and there are
a couple of them, if I'm not mistaken, that are autographed.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
There's one. There were two in.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
There when I went in there earlier.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Well, somebody took it. There's at least one I saw
that's personally autographed. I didn't want to be that persump.
Somebody check Kevin Fingers back then.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
That could be like a Grand prize. I mean it's autographed, right.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
It is an autograph DVD. I don't know how much
autograph dds go for on the market, but in the
art world, I'm not exactly sharing. What is it Kate's Do.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
You know any well known pumpkin pumpkin sculptors?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I think it's a regional thing.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Because I just looked it up and there are two
that are just above everybody.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Is she one of them?
Speaker 6 (11:15):
I'm not seeing Terry harden as one of them. Joye
Kusama from Japan and Ray Villa Fane, who's really good
at three D pumpkin carving, are the two biggest pumpkins.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Aren't all pumpkins three d's They're not two D or
aren't they like all?
Speaker 6 (11:31):
No, he's the pioneer in three D pumpkin art. Ray
Villa Fane maybe makes a guest appearance and Pumpkins School.
Check out her dreads Very cool, right, Pumpkins sculpting. Well,
we got these to give away next Thursday as well.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yes, And on the show tonight, we've got a lot.
We've got an Only Kate's Cares, which is a huge
moment for everybody. I don't think we're gonna have time
to get I think we're gonna have time to get
into it. We're gonna make sure it happens. H David
Vassa is gonna join us, Gomes is going to join us.
In the very next segment, we'll talk to Brandon Gomes
(12:07):
about all things Dodgers. We will talk to Alan Sleewall
of the Talking Hoops podcast Oops Talk, Hoops Talk, I'm sorry,
Hoops Talk podcast, and he also does daily reports here
on a seventy and the Hoops Talk podcast, which is
quite popular on YouTube, is also on the iHeartRadio app.
(12:30):
We'll have a college football whip. As there's been quite
a Friday news up. Tim Kats just referred to the
Sharon Moore situation. My one time friend in now nemesis,
Kyle Whittingham, I'm just sort of kidding, is stepping down
at Utah. I just saw that. Is that a surprise
or has that been known for well, he named a
coach in waiting last year. Oh okay, so, but a
(12:53):
lot of people are saying he's stepping down to take
the Michigan job. No, I don't think so, don't think so. Okay,
but crazier things have happened. But I don't think that's
what's happening. I don't think Kyle Whittingham wants to try
to rebuild Michigan in the final years of his coaching career.
He would either just stay at Utah or retire, which
(13:16):
is what he's doing. It feels like a good time
to get out if you're Kyle winning. Perhaps, yes, so
that that is happening. And of course all the Sharon
Moore stuff, and Washington State hired a coach Rick new
heisl congratulations, Ricky, No, no job for you, Ricky knew.
I thought it was a father son due. I thought
(13:37):
it was too and they were going to do the
same thing as Dick and Tony Bennett did at Washington State.
But no, no, They've hired Kirby Moore from the Chris
Peterson coaching tree. Kirby Moore is Kellen Moore's little brother.
He's been a very good play caller. He was at
Fresno State for a while doing a great job where
Jake Hayner was there and now Kirby was at Missou
(13:59):
last year year with your guy Drinkwitz, m i Z.
Kirby Moore is was the OC at Missoo and now
he's the head coach at Wazoo. So from Missoo to Wazoo.
A couple of stories in the Friday News start so
(14:20):
we will have a college football whip around. We'll talk
to Brandon Gomes in the very next segment about the
things that you would talk to the Dodger GM about.
We'll ask him about the World Baseball Classic. We'll ask
him about Eddie Daz. You think there's a way to
sneak in I I don't know. I'm gonna have to
kind of tiptoe around it. But there's got to be
(14:40):
a way to ask him about this Trek school Bowl
pingle or ask him if he's ever seen him, you know,
soft him up, ask him if he's ever seen a
pumpkin carving or pumpkin sculpting. I'll stay away from there
and then when he you know, opens up about that
and his pumpkin sculpting days in Massachusetts, then and maybe
two lane, you know in college with a college girlfriend,
(15:02):
a sweetheart, then you hit him under the belt with
the scoobl That's how I would handle it. But I
don't work on Dodger Talk or Marongo Casino Dodgers on
deck like some people. Once we get to the break,
it is going to be a sprint like the F
one report, like a sprint race into the kitchen to
(15:26):
get that autographed pumpkin sculpting DVD. I met Ronnie just mentioned.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Well, right before the show started, I was the last
man in and I saw two bodies, two shadows, walk
in that direction. Now I hope fingers crossed. They were
just going with these two. We have to give away
these two I designated for our listener. But the auto,
the auto DVD autographed one. I hope I don't find
it in Burbank Sports Cars. I was there last night,
helped close out the place. We'll be right back in
(15:56):
ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Brandon Gomes the Dodgers GM on, all the latest about
your Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Do hey.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
When Vass comes on, we got to ask him if
Pingolore was at this press conference today? Oh great, call, right,
I mean you stir up the Dodger hot Stoves.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Pylord, nobody's gone harder than Panoloor. You throw some more
wood on that fire. Pingolare has made the stove very hot.
Look at Freeman, Look at Goms. We'll talk to Goms
next in his beard. It's gonna be a race for
that autograph. Petro, some money continues on a frog Man Friday.

or in the hot stove. Dodger fans have learned to
celebrate new signings and think favorably upon the future because
of moves that guys like Brandon Gomes. Specifically, guys like
Brandon Gomes are making a friend of the show, come
a long way since his days as a young towny
(17:32):
in the north, in the Northeast. I'm sorry, I shouldn't
say that. Joining us on your Southern California Celebrity hotline.
It is Dodger GM making huge moves, Edwin Diaz introduced today.
Last time you spoke before that, you guessed it at
the parade. I might have talked to somebody in Orlando,
(17:53):
but I wasn't there. Gomes, what's cracking. How are you.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Doing well? Guys? Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Oh, it's fabulous to have you. Just give us a
little idea of how this took shape With Edwin Diaz,
it felt like it caught a lot of people, especially
stupid people like us, off guard.
Speaker 8 (18:13):
Yeah, I mean, going into the off season obviously looking
for ways to add to what's already a really talented roster.
So there's not you know, there's only so many names
that you know makes sense as far as like really
impactful additions like this, so you know, keep in touch,
but not sure how it was all going to play out.
(18:35):
And then over the last week or so, you know,
things started to materialize to where, okay, we might actually
have a shot here and you know, had the opportunity
to really engage in conversations, and I feel like both
sides were ready to make a move, and you know,
fortunate enough to ultimately get get Sugar Sugar Dias on
(18:57):
the team.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
What was it about Edwin in particular, or what was
it that you guys circled him on your board and
wanted him to be that back into the bullpen kind
of guy.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Yeah, I mean the track record of dominant and having
done it on the biggest stage obviously in New York,
and then also being it firsthand in the postseason.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
That's first and foremost.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
And then you know, you start digging on the just
the person and the character and what he brings to
the table and from a clubhouse perspective and mentoring younger
guys in his ability to go out there and take
the ball like whenever the team asks in order to
(19:41):
help him win. You know, really selfless type guy that
fits in with our other superstars with no ego, so
that that total package was incredibly appealing. You have the
opportunity to add that talent and then also that person
in the clubhouse who was you know, was a no brainer.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Once we get down to it.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Last year, you guys made a splash and free agency
with the bullpen as well with Kirby Yates Tanner Scott.
Tanner Scott didn't have certainly the season you guys had
expected him to have, And he'll be the first person
to say that, what do you guys expect out of
Tanner Scott and how he can kind of fit in
and piece together with Edwin Diaz at the back end
of that bullpen.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Yeah, I think, you know, talking to Tanner recently and
you know, just throughout the season, fully expect him to
come back to his previous dominance as well and feel
like it's a great, you know, another great piece to
have in our pen to go along with a bunch
of other guys who have who've done it once again,
have a track record of just being really hard to hit,
(20:42):
and he's going to be another important piece to us,
you know, trying to go out and win another championship.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Gomer.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
When you guys go to Orlando for the Winter meetings,
how are the Dodgers received by everybody else around Major
League Baseball? You know, if you look on social media,
you guys are the evil Empire the now, But you
go to Orlando and the Baseball Winter Meetings when the
Dodgers walk in and those quarters at Polos are being
warred with that Dodger logo on it. How are the
(21:09):
Dodgers seen around Baseball and Orlando when you guys are
at the Winter Meetings?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Is back to back world champs?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I'm not really sure.
Speaker 8 (21:17):
I think we have a lot of really good relationships
across across the game, and you know, I think the
Winter Meetings, everybody knows that you're there to go and
try to make your team.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
As good as possible.
Speaker 8 (21:29):
And you know, obviously it's great coming off back to
back championships, but nothing, you know, taking nothing for granted
and continuing to try to grind and do everything we
can to go out and put the best team out
there again.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
And you guys certainly do that. And there's always trade
rumors going on this time of the year, and you
guys are all together. I mean, we think of the
Dodgers as this global organization and you guys are, but
you guys all work together, are in contact together. How
do you guys deal with some of your own players
being named in trade rumors? Is that uncomfortable?
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (22:06):
I mean some of this stuff that comes out there
is like, wow, that's that's in Brandon know we were doing
that or I didn't know that guy was being talked about.
So I think a lot of it's funny.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
You know.
Speaker 8 (22:18):
Obviously, if there's any concern, we will just reach out
to the player agent specifically.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
But you know, you.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
Can't help what's put out there, and a lot of it,
the vast majority of it is just made up. So,
you know, I think it's really important to maintain good
relationships with our players and keep the lines of communication
open when when things like that pop out there, to
make sure there's no you know, the game of assumptions
can be dangerous.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Brandon, with a closer now signed going into twenty twenty six,
what else are you guys as a front office looking
for for this this roster in twenty twenty six? What
what are the other needs that maybe you guys are
looking at to address.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Yeah, I'm not sure as much needs with you know,
we have so much versatility and already really talented roster.
It's being you know, patient and you know, continuing to assess.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
What's available to whether it's a hey, this is another
you know impact you.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
Know, quote unquote splashy mover or is this just another
like good move to help us win baseball games and
round out a roster and you know, giving us different
options both now and in the future.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
So I think there's a.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Lot of just kind of assessing what's available and looking
at our own roster internally and how to make it
as strong as possible and built to you know, be
successful both in the regular season, which means you have
to have a lot of really good players in depth,
and then also in the postseason and how to you know,
(23:51):
strike that balance.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Brandon Goms joining us right now on the Petros and
Money Show. Dodgers GM A man who wields power, are
over one of the great franchises from the history of
sports going through a golden age right now. But no
matter how gold in the age has goals. Do you
guys take calls on like Christmas Eve and Christmas Day?
(24:13):
In New Year's Day? Does the stove remain hot on
these certain like does any does anybody take a day
off when it comes to the holidays and the stove?
Speaker 8 (24:25):
Yeah, I mean we certainly try to. My wife might
disagree with me, but yeah, that's the goal. There needs
to be at some point some unplugging and put the
phone down, and as you could, it's the type of
job that really it's you could always be digging on
players or looking at somebody else, and so at a
certain point think okay, let's we're gonna put this down
(24:46):
and go be with your family. I think that's also
a really important part of being able to recharge and
then come back, you know, at full force after that,
you know, being able to spend some quality time with
the family.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
Brandon's certainly a lot to talk the last couple of
days about maybe a potential blockbuster deal that could be
out there and made between the Dodgers and a northern
another organization in Major League Baseball. Certainly you can't say anything,
we all understand that. But would the Dodgers be in
the market for a front of the rotation left hander
if one was out there?
Speaker 8 (25:21):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know if that's necessarily or
pressing a pressing need at this point. So I think
we said with everything we do, we're we're having conversations
and finding ways to you know, trying to figure out
if this is something that makes sense for us, both
in the short term and long term. And some things
(25:41):
play out and some things don't. So I think how
we function is like be open on everything and if
it makes sense ultimately we'll do it.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Finally, since there's so many players on your team that
are from other countries, especially Japan, and some of the
most important players Heroic Coofax like Yoshinobu Yamamoto, shoe O Tani,
Roki Sasaki, and the World Baseball Classic is coming up.
How many conversations do you have with those guys or
(26:11):
the Japanese government. I mean, I don't know if you
call their prime minister or I mean, how does it work.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
Yeah, there's a formal process that you have to go
through with Major League Baseball and then the PA and
having conversations. So those things take some time, and like
anything we do, we have the conversations with the player
and figure out, you know what what ultimately is the
you know what we come down to. So those are
(26:39):
still down the road and we've got to figure that
out here coming up in the next I don't even
know what the date is, but over the next couple
of weeks we'll continue to have those conversations.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Final thing for me, Brandon, as a forward pitch of yourself,
and a player. Have you had a chance to just
step back in the last six weeks since the end
of the World Series and kind of digest what happened
in that World series, from the eighteen Inni Marathon game
to the appearances that guys made from the Willkleines of
the world, to what Yamamoto did to Game six, the catches,
(27:13):
Game seven, the catch and the outfield, the home runs,
I mean, the dramatics of it all. We may never
see a World series like that again. Heck, we're replaying
Game seven all the time here on a FI seventy
l A Sports and that more popular than our show
is replaying the games three, four, five, six and seven
of the World Series because everybody just wants to get
see them and they can't get enough of them. Have
(27:34):
you had a chance just kind of realize, my gosh,
what we did was pretty special.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
Uh yeah, I mean, I think obviously, you get done
with the parade and then your.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Body tells you no, Moss and.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
I get sick immediately, and then you know, you start
having different conversations with people, or you.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Know, over the winter meetings, we're having dinner.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
With all of us and Doc and everyone and just
like recalling like, oh man, you know the months he
can on the line drive the Yama bunt play, like
you start going through all those things that you know,
get a little less recognition than.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Some of the other plays. So you know, it's usually
over over.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Dinner and you know, unplugging for a bit, you start
to rehash some of the crazy moments and and really
appreciate what what that world series was and obviously ending
up on the on.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
The better side of it is great for us.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
But I think just from a baseball perspective, taking a
step back like really good for the game and for
fans all across the country and world.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Straightforward, honest and entertaining stuff from the great Brandon Goalmes.
We appreciate your time today. We know you're very busy people,
and take some time out and talk to our listeners
and the fans is always much appreciated. Have a wonderful holiday,
mister Gomes, and we will talk to you soon. And
good luck with all endeavors.

news when her phone was hacked and naked pictures of
her and Tiger Woods were.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Leaked to the web. She made the crossover.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
Very attractive woman made the crossover from a downhill Olympic
skier to a pop culture figure since she dated a
hockey player and a golf superstar. Well, she's back at
forty one years old to do what Lindsey Vaughn after
major knee surgery four years ago forced her to retire

at Camden Yards across the parking lot. Okay, tomorrow, the
great site of the Brigade of Midshipmen and the Court
