Look, we have a lot of bad stories out there.
We got Sharon Moore with the butter knife. We've got
all the craziness in college football. Along with Sharon Moore
and the butter knife, we have Lebron leaking out information
to Rich Paul that they got to make the team better.

(03:50):
For Lebron the same stupid Marri go round. We go
around every single year. There's a lot of stuff. We've
got NFL players having their chest puncture.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, their lungs popped like a balloon. Unreal.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
So this is actually positive news. With a population problem,
we need more people. And a big thank you to
Hailey Steinfeld from Tarzana and from Fireball, California, not the
high school in the Compton area, but Fireball, California near Fresno.
Josh Allen, They're gonna have a baby. Husband and wife.

(04:29):
Steinfeld and Alan are expecting their first child together. Steinfeld
announced the news today in her weekly She puts out
a weekly newsletter, which is kind of annoying. You think
that's cool. I mean, my kids school puts out a
weekly newsletter at the convent. Would you be happy if
your wife did it. I don't understand what you need

(04:51):
to update people on on a weekly baby see. The
post features a video of her showing off her baby
bump in various embraces with Josh Allen, which where he's
on his knees, kissing her stomach, her bare stomach, and
holding on to her hips. That's in the latest newsletter.

(05:11):
She's listed twenty nine moments she loved this year in
light of turning twenty nine. Oh, I was gonna ask
you why twenty Thursday yesterday. She saved her best moment
for last, with her baby news at the bottom.

twenty twenty three. They were married only six months after
getting engaged in a beautiful ceremony earlier this year. Congratulations
to the two lovers. An attractive woman, a handsome man.
They must be lovers, and they're much, let me say this,

much less offensive than Taylor Swift and Travis Kelson. So
not out there that I in your face thrown it down,
you know all the time. Look at us, look at us.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
They're not upsetting, and neither is justin Herbert and Madison Beer,

Speaker 2 (12:35):
By the way, two words for those getting after me
on Twitter for mispronouncing these fashion air mez save it.
I don't care, all right, just take it easy one. Yes,
I'm mispronounced.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Going to make a big deal about a guy carrying
a bunch of chicks bags. It's not that flattering. Anybody
can carry those. I don't see us walking around with.
We walk in here like high school kids with backpacks.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
So people would criticize that. What are we supposed to do?

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Were supposed to have a briefcase, Like I'm a lawyer,
I do sports talk radio.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
That would be kind of cool. That would be terrible.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Put him on the desk, no what everybody would hate me?
Messenger's bag. I used to one over the shoulder. That's
a game that there's nothing wrong with that. Oh I
used to have one of those.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
I liked it. It's not as gay as caring a
burking around. It's very fashionable. I know you're right, you're right.
A lot of the rappers of g WAG.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Look, look, I came up in a day where the
rappers wore dickies, g Dragon. I came up in a
day where the rappers wore dickies and Ben Davis and
Kings and Raiders hats. They weren't dressed up in tight
pants walking runways like a bunch of freaking weirdos. Okay,
I grew up there was a separation at church and state,

(14:01):
and they didn't do songs with Miley Cyrus or j Low,
bunch of Wheenies, ge Dragon, bunch of Donkey Deese. Make
sure as hell weren't like, Hey, look at this awesome
Korean rapper. If you weren't a black guy, you couldn't rap.
And now it's just like it's wide open.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Now I don't like it.

(15:34):
of twenty twenty five. We're emptying out the PMS office
plus all the prizes you can imagine. All Right, it
is time for the college football Whipper Round.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Besides the La Bows circling the drain tomorrow night, and
we'll have more on that later. There's only one game
of note this weekend. The Kates already brought up a
one hundred and twenty sixth edition of America's Game, the
Army av Game, being played in BALTIMRT, covered in a
dusting of Old Bay. We'll have a final hour fun
fact on the Army Navy game.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
I tweeted out a picture at Petro Some Money of
the three different food items.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
No pick here, just respect for the players, coaches, pleabs, cadets,
all the alumps. Last week's picks were a dreadful three
and four. I'm now barely above water on the season
forty eight and forty seven. A week from now, we
will pick the four first round college football playoff games
and maybe some random other bowls. But right now we'll

(16:34):
whip it around a little bit.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Back.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
First of all the important stuff, Michigan prosecutors charged former
Michigan football coach Romeron Moore with felony home invasion and
two misdemeanors stalking and breaking and entering. Moore's bond was
set at twenty five g's. He appeared via video conference
from County jail. White jepsuit. This has been in the

(16:57):
works for a long time, that this guy's been trying
to destroy his life, though, so it didn't all just
collapse in one day. But the proceeding was held in
an ann Arbor District court. While laying out the evidence
of today's hearing, the prosecutor said More had been fired
for cause Monday afternoon for an inappropriate relationship with a
staff member. I think we can all agree that that's

(17:17):
the case. The prosecutor continued that Moore went into the
home of the woman who he'd had a relationship with,
grabbed knives out of the kitchen drawer, and made threats,
maybe some shears. According to the prosecutor, he said, I'm
gonna kill myself. I'm gonna make you watch. My blood
is on your hands.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
This is a sad scene.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
All well, that is something that the big Lebowski said,
or in the big her blood is on your hand.
The woman involved Farmer, Michigan football staffer, thirty one year
old paid Shiver or Shiver Shiver Shiver was not at
the courthouse.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
You asking me. I mispronounced like names and her name
was not Hermie, and her name was not used.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Besides the twenty five grand, the judge added More will
continue all mental health treatment and wear a GPS tracker
on his ankle.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
He was released on twenty five thousand dollars bonds.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
It would be a lot easier keeping track ahead football
coaches if they wore the GPS tracker on their ankle.
That would be pretty cool. Plus, the judge ordered More
to avoid any contact with the victim. Yeah, I'll probably
stay away from her.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Leave her loan.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Now, this story is not rare, but the public nature
of it is one of the wildest I've come across
college football for the last I don't know thirty years.
Se Miho Tanteanyos College Athletics is like any other workplace

(18:50):
in America. The doctor's sleeping with a nurse, the chef
is sleeping with the waitress or the sioux chef, and
sometimes the golfer is sleeping with the caddy. In this case,
the coach was involved with the football team office worker,
which is not rare, and according to stories posted over

(19:11):
the last forty eight hours, he had applied a massive
pay raise for her in recent months.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Maybe she deserved it. Maybe she was really methodical in
her work every day. I bet she was.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
I bet she had methods to woo the man away
from his wife. They're both at fault, both at fault.
Michigan is a state university. Everybody works at the school
has plenty of ethics in the workplace courses that includes
sexual harassment training and the challenges of inter office romance.

(19:43):
We hope as a show that the young lady can
feel safe again, and let's hope she can regain some
level of normalcy and anonymity. If so desired, maybe she'll
become a star like Monica Lewinski, who knows and first
and foremost for Sharon Moore, I don't want to say
that his life is ruined forever. He's thirty nine. He

(20:04):
obviously needs help professionally and guidance from his family, friends,
and inner circle.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Has he made bail yet? Yes?

Speaker 3 (20:14):
And regardless of his marital status, he has three daughters
to raise him care for. People have come back from
worse problems, Oh, for sure, look at the straw dog
from Crenshaw.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Fuck. So, like, how everybody now, Oh, I've known about
this for a love. Oh, I've known about this for
three months. Oh, I've been sitting on this for you know,
two weeks. How did everybody know this? Apparently it must
have been widespread knowledge.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
Out everybody seems to have known about this, but you
and I right as somebody everybody was like, yeah, I
heard that.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Would did they get him yet?

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Me?

Speaker 2 (20:51):
He's like what?

Speaker 3 (20:51):
And the wife or apparently the only ones that did
know this? Like I did a Michigan State game. I
did a Western Michigan game. You were in the freaking
state two weeks.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Anything going on about Michigan. How's with a bunch of
guys that work in Michigan Ohio state? Did anybody tell
me me?

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Me? Me me? Not mine Bob Chesney flack.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
Bob Chesney is safely on board at UCLA, although he
will coach at least one more game for James Madison
next Saturday in Eugene, Oregon, where rain is in the
ten day forecast. Oh no, well, Chesney is the future
of UCLA football. A ghost of Bruins past missed his
opportunity today. Rick Neuheisel, whose name was circulating all week

(21:39):
as a possible candidate for the Washington State opening, and
he handled it well on the Softy and Dick Show
the other day, saying that they had a conversation, but
not really a serious one. He didn't say but he'd
probably want it written in blood that Jerry would be
the coach in waiting like Kyle Whittingham who just stepped
down in Morgan scally, the coach in waiting is going
to step in the fur or Utah dB and longtime

(22:01):
decordinator there. So Rick new Heisel is not going to
be the coach at Wazoo. They went and hired Kirby Moore.
Why would he want that job just so Jerry want it?
Is just so Jerry could be the OC. I mean
stay in New York in that beautiful studio, a hunger,
you know, break down games for three hours on side.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
And a lot of energy. He's got a lot of hunger.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
I mean, it couldn't be the worst thing that they
would do to your serious XEM show every day calling
the pms twice a year. My advice was to hire
a hot coordinator, and they did in Kellen Moore's brother.
Coach Moore's son, Kirby Moore, who's the heck of a guy,
came across him when he was first calling place for
Jay Kner at Fresno State.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
What happens to a guy like Jerry new Eiel that
he'll get another job. He's a good coach, great record, Fine,
these guys travel around.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
Jerry is blessed to have been at UCLA for that
long over some different regimes.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
You have to see Bob Jesney make a spot for him.
Maybe tight ends coaching.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
You don't want a guy who's the son of a
former UCLA head coach on your staff like a narc.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
You don't need it. He's from the East Coast, clean slate,
clean slate. They're bringing in the GM from Florida State
to be the GM of UCLA football, though so that's good.
Guy knows to bring some talent and spend a little money. Well,
don't trust me for inside information. Apparently everybody knew about
Sharon Moore but me, And that's your college football whipper.

(23:25):
We'll have more on the LA Bowl as the show
goes on. Hey, guys, anything new, what's happening? Nope, No,
Petro's nothing you need to know.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Alichak fired his offensive coordinator. Sure, Moore, mistress, No, you
don't say.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Oh for real? We all well, if he beats Ohio State,
they're gonna let him stay for really? Oh my god?
Fuck an idiot? I do well.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
I always feel like an idiot, but I feel especially
stupid this week. We'll be right back with more. David

Speaker 6 (27:24):
Yeah, I'll just say this, Dodger fans don't have anything
to worry about as far as Andrews Treatman choosing one
or the other. He's very capable in sharing information with
the Lakers now that Mark Walter owns both teams.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
David, what's the sense you got from Diez as as
far as being a Dodger now being welcome to the
Dodger of nation as he was earlier today.

Speaker 6 (27:48):
Well, the biggest thing is that he said it was
kind of easy for him to choose the Dodgers, and
they're a winning organization, and I can I've already seen
on social media New York outlets picking that up as
and perceiving it as a slap in the face to
the Mets that they are not that. But the Mets

(28:09):
want to be the Dodgers. And this goes back to
the inception of the Mets organization. They have always wanted
to be the Dodgers. Their colors when they were brought
into Major League Baseball are a mixture of Dodger blue
and Giants orange. Their owner was a Dodger fan. Their

(28:29):
stadium has a rotunda that replicates Abits Field, so they
are striving for what the Dodgers have. And the one
separator is the Dodgers have been able to build this
foundation through their farm system and then supplement it now
with the influx of payroll might with players like Edwin Diaz,

(28:54):
and there's a huge gap. And I actually believe it's
an insult to even say the Mets are on the
Dodgers level. They're not, and Edwin Diaz saw that, and
certainly the Dodgers took advantage of the fact the Mets
went out and gave Devin Williams a big contract, and
Edwin Diaz, talking to people close to him, felt a

(29:15):
little disrespected, and the Dodgers seized on that.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
David, you mentioned the New York media, and I was
just kind of skimming through some of their comments the
last forty eight hours, and of course sour grapes are
saying he's done with he's got nothing left. Look at
his you know, he can't spend the ball anymore like
he used to before his injury. You know, he's thirty one.
I look at the other side of it. Yeah, he's
only thirty one. He had a one sixty three er

(29:39):
last year. It pitched in sixty two games. Durability is
not an issue. Edwin Diaz still has a lot left
in the tank.

Speaker 6 (29:46):
Yeah, and it's only a three year contract, and he's
at the top of his game, like you mentioned. And
you know what stood out to me talking to Andrew
about this after the press conference is the fact that, yes,
Edwin Diaz is one of the premier closer in the
game right now. But what really impressed the Dodgers was
his willingness to pitch in other innings if that's what

(30:10):
it took to win, because there's a lot of closers
that only want to pitch the ninth inning or getting
out in the eighth inning for four or five out, say,
But Edwin Diaz showed last year that, hey, if they
need me in the fourth inning in a do or
die situation, I'm going to be there for the Mets.
And that really stood out to Andrew Friedman that he

(30:32):
was willing to do to take the ball whenever the
Mets needed it, even if it wasn't the ninth inning.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Dave, the World Baseball Classic stuff has come out. I
know if it was up to you, none of these
Dodger players would be involved.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
But they are.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
They are statesmen, kvevahapom. They love Japan, their countrymen to
uh first and foremost, to the land of the Rising Sun.
So what is your reaction and what do you think
the Dodgers' reaction is. We're gonna ask Goms about it.

Speaker 6 (31:03):
Yeah, there seems to be a little uncertainty about whether
or not Roki Sasaki is actually going to pitch. We
first heard he was, now we're hearing that he won't.
So I'll be interested to hear what Gomes had to say.
But you know, Yamamoto. Obviously this this means a lot
to those Japanese players. But I'll just say this, It's

(31:24):
fine if Otani wants to be part of Team Japan,
but he shouldn't pitch an inny. I think hitting should suffice.
I feel like he is doing his due duty to
his country by just being a hitter. He doesn't need
to pitch. And as far as Yamamoto goes, you know,
teams do have a say and they do kind of

(31:46):
lay out an outline for these World Baseball Classic managers
about what the limits are for their pitchers. And if
I'm the Dodgers, I'm saying, hey, Yamamoto's pitching once, pick
when and when he does, let's pitch. He's only going
five innings.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
David, what was the talk before and after and even
during the press conference about Pingolore? Well, yeah, Pingolore's news
about Trek Scuoble and his insistence since Monday that this
thing is close to getting done.

Speaker 6 (32:19):
Well, it's the same reaction that you guys have had
all week. Nobody's taken it seriously and they are laughing,
and they might laugh in his face.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
No was he there? Was he there, Dave?

Speaker 6 (32:31):
He was not there. He may he may still be
in Florida because from what I've been told from sources
that are very familiar with what's going on with Trek Scooble,
they are not even sure the Tigers are willing to
trade Schooble. That seems to still not have been settled

(32:53):
in the Tigers organization. Have they been talking to teams
including the Dodgers, Yes they have, but they're there has
been no indication that yes, they're willing to pull the trigger.
So the report by ping Aling that it's imminent and
it's close and they're working on an extension and it
just needs to be approved by the Tigers owner is

(33:14):
completely false. Now Scooble. Scooble may get traded, and he
even may get traded to the Dodgers, but nothing is
close to happening today as was reported by him four
days ago.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
But what about Pingolaura's got a little heat on him though,
right like you've got to do a little victory lap.

Speaker 6 (33:33):
No, my understanding is, uh, he doesn't care if it
doesn't work out, that's not his gig. He'll still have
KTLA five. He's not an insider.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Are the are the beat rider? This is the same guy.

Speaker 6 (33:48):
This is the same guy on Live TV in twenty
eighteen said that he was super close to Carlos Gonzalez
and he grabbed another player who he thought was Carlos
Gonzalez and he got clowned on live TV. This is
the same guy that I remember that certain outlets are
giving credibility to.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
They don't mean a thing if it ain't got that
ping a ling. There was ping pan that was a
gymnastics star. You see.

Speaker 6 (34:13):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Scooble. Look, from what I understand,
I reported this on MLB Network. The Tigers are asking
for the same type of return that the Nationals got
from the Padres for two years of control of Juan Soto.
Schooble is a one year rental. And the Dodgers are

(34:36):
always going to be there, ready for the rebound, if
you will, on a big time pitcher like this. They
are in the mix. They have talked to the Tigers.
But I mean, the flippancy of that report is just sorry,
it's not It's not close to happening in the next

(34:58):
twenty four hours. I can I assure you of that.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
The Great David Vase, Ladies and gentlemen, he'll be back
with Edwin Diaz and Andrew Friedman and an update on
Freeman's Laker status during Dodger Talk from seven to eight.
You can get some Laker news on Dodger Talk Now
