not to mention that we will have a big event

(02:39):
when it comes to the Dodgers on Thursday at the

during the day off, located at three six eight South
Lake Avenue. Uh. The event starts at four at the
Verizon Store with Dave Roberts, So show up early for

(03:00):
August twenty eighth with America's skipper Doc Roberts in Pasadena.
I don't think ice Cube's coming. Just Dave Roberts. Never
know you do never Pasadena. All brought to you by Verizon.
And we would be remiss if we did not mention
that this Saturday, as college football gets started, we will

(03:24):
have Because we're not tied to anybody, we can run
all the big games on the station whenever we want.
Like Brian Blackmore, one of our bosses, will we'll do.
He'll pick a game that the Dodgers aren't playing at
that time and he'll put it on. This week, it
happens to be Texas at Ohio State number one at

(03:44):
number three Arch Manning versus Jeremiah Smith kick off at
nine because it's the big noon right here on AM
five seventy LA Sports Now, we talk to Joel Klatt
and our Friday show live from the van's headquarters. Joe

(04:07):
showed up with his sons, gained a lot of equity
with us, and he promoted the game. He's going to
be calling it on Big Fox. But there's a lot
of drama surrounding this game, I mean, not just bigger.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
And it's probably the biggest interconference game that we've had
to start a season in. And I don't know how
long number one versus number three and number three is
the defending national champion.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, and number one was in the playoff last year too,
So yeah, it's it has the number one player in
college football. It's pretty the receiver, right, yeah, I mean
the number one story, number one story player, Yes, Arch
Manning in college football.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
You know.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
The quarterback is for Ohio States, the freshman Julian saying
from Carls Bette Local Tie Southern California.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, he won that job.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
He's a young player.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Where was he before? He didn't do very well Dragon,
He went to Ala dragonbur Spring.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
He went there first spring, and then Samon bounced and
he said I'm out of here too, and he went
to go play for Ryan Day red shirted last year.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Julian sayan s a y I n saying just saying
just say.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Carl High School or like you know a super sayand
like dragon ball Z. Guys, we got Otani on the
team and you have a moment, come on figure it out.
I mean, come on, guys, you don't know what a
super saiyand is. No. The drama around this game is

(05:43):
not just the players that are involved. It's the whole
Big Noon Fox thing. Because last year, after Ohio State
beat Penn State, the one team into Big Ten other
than Oregon that Big Noon wanted every single week was

(06:03):
Ohio State and they got ended up on Big Noon
so many times. I guess it upset the fan base
because they want to get drunker, right. You know, the
noon kickoff is not enough time for them to drink. Now,
you'd think they can drink after, but.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Would seem like that'd be the better play. The problem
measure two loaded and everybody's goes and falls asleep.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, And as a college football guy, you know, I
work in college football I'll be calling a Big Ten
game on Friday Night. I've never been to the Horseshoe.
I've never I've done an Ohio State game at Cal
when Urban Meyer was the coach, but I've never been
to the Shoe, so I don't know. I've been to
the Big House. I've done a game at the Big House.

(06:44):
But it feels like they really want a piece of
that late night party and more and more. As they
are one of the premier, if not the premier program
in the country.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
The other big event is that Big Noon is the
premier slot, right, Well, yeah, it's weird, but they.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
They have their formula and they're sticking to it. But
I have heard Big Noon admit, yeah, we did Ohio
State too many times last year. That won't happen again.
Gotta spread it out a little, but they're still pissed
about it. And then you have the fact that Big
Noon has hired David Portnoy, who is He's a big
Michigan guy, a huge Michigan guy, and very gives.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Him a bunch of cash and all that.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Stuff antagonistic towards Ohio State. And it's one of those
things where Ohio State didn't credential him to go inside
because he's not part of the show that's only on
an hour before kickoff. So he went on and said
that they banned him, and they're said he's not banned,

(07:48):
And that's going back and forth, like Portnoy is acting
like he's being martyred.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Of course that's part of his whole that works. Yeah,
and you know, I'm a regular guy. The big bad
corporation's taking advantage of me, you know, even though I'm
probably worth more than Ohio State.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, he's making videos saying things like Ohio State, I
love everybody in Columbus outside of the program, do the
right thing, you know, and Fox, even though Ohio State's
probably not thrilled with them, and Portnoy is thrilled that
everybody's talking about it, right.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
So and I who knows not that Ohio State needs
the extra attention. So it's not like they're going to
play ball with him. But as you said, certainly Fox,
because look, well the problem idea that you know, the
idea that anybody could take down college game day was crazy,
and yet they've managed to do it. Well, they've managed
to get close to that. For sure.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
They put a dent in it, and it's a different
kind of show. And that's interesting that you mentioned College
Game Day because that's another part of the drama, is
that Fox is letting College Game Day in the building
on on Saturday, an hour before kickoff because it's Lee
Corso's final show right now. You would think that ESPN

(09:08):
would just go down to Florida State and do the
Florida State Alabama game, which is a big game, and
just do that for Lee Corso because he's a Florida
State guy, and really give the coach his big send off.
I know he's got big ten roots and was the
coach in Indiana and all that, and they went up
seven on Ohio State and took a picture under the

(09:30):
scoreboard and those great stories which I'm sure they'll tell.
So Fox looks like a nice guy letting ESPN in
and Ohio State being villainized by Portnoy for allegedly boxing
him out. So I don't know, there's a lot of
drama surrounding the game. We will have it on the

(09:51):
radio as it should be. Texas at Ohio State kickoff.
Care's about the game? Tell me what's happening around it? Well,
you know, going to happen with the pregame show. You know,
where's you gotta tell me all about that. Where's Brady
Quinn going to be? You know, where's Lionerd gonna stand
in relation to Pat McAfee, in relation to Rhys Davis.
I mean, where where are all these people gonna line up?

(10:14):
You know, That's what I want to know before anything happens.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
If you were to cross trying to think of how
you would cross match it. You know, I assume it's
it's Urban Meyer versus Nick Saban. Right, they're the two
guys that are gonna fight. I guess Joel Klatt is
he taking to Herbie. He's taken on herb Street. Brady
Quinn has taken on Desmond Howard. I think that's probably right.

(10:42):
I guess I think they're about I mean, obviously Desmond's
older than Brady, but.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Lionard and McAfee, you know, with the social media.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Oh yeah, ask Alexa, tell me about Matt Lioner. Check
out this thing that's going viral? Right right? So, and
then you got the host taken anyone, well, mark Ingram
He's got to fight, so yeah, mark Ingram. And he's
a tough little guy. He is he is and a
very very nice guy too. There's your X factor right there.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah, Ingram is your X factor. Don't and don't underestimate
the bitterness of the bear who Fox is hired? Oh right, yeah,
hired him away from Yes. Yeah, so he's standing over
there on the side all angry and Tom Rinaldi, you know,
he's probably got some fire in him too, firing his
back too.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
So yeah, there's her. Is that who's out there? Hermanson's dad?
Is he the one out there on the sideline doing
the long form pieces for ESPN?

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Still, well, Jo, I don't think so. I think Reese
handles it, Matt. But yeah, so that's all surrounding that game.
But we are going to be running that game on
the station. We also are going to have a conversation
today with David Vasse, our Dodger reporter because the Dodgers

(11:59):
back in first play. Everybody's excited. So people are excited
about that, and we'll talk to Mick Cronan. Matt still
going to have a great relationship with the Petrosten Money Show.
A lot of people were worried when they saw that
UCLA was wanted to be featured on a station without

(12:20):
any other play by play, so they don't get preempted.
And that is very understandable because we have the Dodgers here,
and the Dodgers, well, they take a pretty big bite
out of the schedule with their daily games. And UCLA
is gone, but that does not mean mc cronan is gone.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Matt Nick will join us, one of our absolute favorites,
one of the best rule and we've had very good
relationships with a number of managers coaches, but Mick has
been one of the absolute best, and we love having
them on. We love having that relationship. So even though
UCLA is leaving, despite the fact that the majority of
the college football season and nearly the entirety of the

(12:59):
college bat basketball season has played post Dodger baseball, we
are very excited that coach is coming on today and
it looks like we're going to be able to maintain
our relationship with him and promote Coach cronen and UCLA
basketball moving forward.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
So we are looking forward to that today and have
a conversation with him as the Reds.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Are and it's beyond basketball pe it's beyond with with coach.
It's beyond beyond the beach. That's the difference.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
Totally beyond the beach and Matt. I don't want to
delay this anymore. Is that what Brian Long's in there
talking about chiefs man Long because the headlines have dropped,
and I don't want to make a huge deal out
of it.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
I don't want to make He wants us attacking this. Well,
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
I mean, you know, Brian Long doesn't call and say, like,
you better be talking about this? Why aren't we talking
about this? You know we're not doing enough of this?
But he will plant sports talk seeds, does he? From
time to time?

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah? I think from time to time he'll just, you know,
casually say hey, did you guys get into this? Did
you guys talk about this at all? I mean getting
I mean you know, yeah, he'll read sports talk, He'll
back into it. He'll instead of pushing it, he's pulling
it like, oh, did you guys get into that today?

Speaker 3 (14:10):
He's a little more surgical than you know. Hey, if
I said what I said to say, what you say?

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Hey, you too? Douche Canoes And I'm gonna talk about it.
That's what I said. What should the headline be? Today? Sports?
That's all we think about here's the other story nobody's
talking about. You know, I'm not a racist. I mean
he's a bad headline.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
What are the headlines, Well, the headlines are that the
engagement of the century. And I'm not talking about bezos
and the joker. I'm talking about Travis Kelce, former George's
wearing fade, having big booty Instagram model dating tight End

(14:52):
Hall of Famer from the University of Cincinnati is engaged
to the number one performer in the world, cash cow
and overall scourge of the music industry. In my very
humble opinion, Taylor Swift the old swizzle stick. So no

(15:12):
more big booty Instagram models now.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Matt then on her side, p it is fair to
point out as well, like it's it's not like she
has not, you know, dated made the rounds with the
who's who of music in Hollywood. I mean Joe Jonas
and John Mayer and Jake Jillenhall and Harry Styles and Hiddlestem.
I mean Jillen Hall got an album that is an extensions.

(15:37):
You know, I'm saying, like you got Hollywood and like
Tom Hidleston and Jillen Hall and then you get you
said the Loki guy, right, right, he's the Loki guy.
You got Taylor Lautner in there, the dude from the Vampire,
you know, the werewolf guy, the five two guy. Then
and then in the world of mus you look up.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Taylor Swift dating history, twenty dudes come up.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Yeah, oh no, it's chill and it's the who's who.
It's Harry Style.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Alwin, Taylor Lautner. You mentioned she and Mayer were together,
Joe Jonas, Calvin Harris. Remember she was dating A Kennedy
for a while, Connor Kennedy, Right, Harry Styles.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
That's what I mean. The Kelsey mat booty ig model
is nothing.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
The guy from the nineteen seventy five.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Right, She's word her way through, worked her way through. Yeah,
she's a it's no joke. She's done some things.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yes, so the real But the one thing that people
really resonated with was are many interviews with Eric Dickerson
where Eric Dickerson, over and over and over again has
said they're not going to get engaged. Trust me, I
know what this is about. I know what's going to happen,

(17:00):
and I know what's going to be said. I know
what's going to be done. Y'all don't know, and I said,
I would have been been holding firm on the side
of true love for a long time. Here Matt and
Eric Dickerson, I don't know when he's coming on, or
if he's coming on, or what the deal is for
the fall on the show with our Rambassador. I know

(17:20):
he goes on with Rogan and Rodney all the time.
But there were a lot of calls for listener retribution
regarding the Travis and Taylor engagement when it comes to
the Eric Dickerson angle on our show. And I mean,
she's been she's what like thirty five, she's.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
She's older than him. Yeah, I would assume she's older
than what is she thirty five? Yeah? Yeah, so they're
probably how old is Kelsey? Is he not thirty five yet? No,
he's twenty four. He is thirty five. Oh wow, they're
in the same age. Yeah, well, actually he is. He
is two months older than her.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
So yeah, wow, what a stud. So that's the big news,
and I'm not sure how to cover it.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Matt. I know that you have a lot of jealousy.
I do because of the one that put your hooks
into this and ran with it.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
I was on this from the day they started dating.
And it has been a huge boom for the NFL.
And now that whole circus, Taylor Swift, Travis Kelcey, you
justin Herbert, Madison Beer, Shannon Farron, Daniel Jeremiah, Jim Harbaugh,

(18:43):
Andy Reid, who somebody shot at his office. They're all
headed to Brazil, right south of the border, as Timkates
would say, to South America.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Will be litigated in the southern hemisphere where it is
winter entering spring.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
Do you think taylor'sft we'll go to Brazil? And do
you think Madison Beer will go to Brazil.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
That's a long way to go for a football game.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
She goes to Kansas City all the time.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, but I mean it's a tough one. I don't know, Matt.
It's it's not like they're going to be able to
make it a holiday.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
Like he's got the season starting, She's got a new
album to promote. They just busted their engagement out. This
is the pr time to hit the gas, Matt, not
to hang out in your mansion in Rhode Island. And
remember Tom Hillston.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Wait a minute, now, what if then you just touched
on it? You know, what if this is perhaps trying
to form some sort of security bond, like say, hey,
we're going to be okay. You know you're chasing We're
in another season, you've got to go to Brazil, You're
playing on Christmas Day. I'm dropping for like they're not

(19:56):
going to be able to you know, he said last
year was his that was his worst year as a
professional and he was totally gassed by the time the
playoffs came around, and he's got to be better this
year that he recommitted, he lost all this weight. He
wants the old Travis Kelcey, best tight end in the
history of the NFL, to show his face again. You know,

(20:17):
you wonder if this is just like, well, if we're engaged,
you know, instead of breaking up before I leave college
for summer vacations. Yeah, Matt, you know these if I
give you a promise for five you know, it's not
like they're like eighteen.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
Well maybe, but you know that's not fair to say.
I mean, they're thirty five years old, and I don't
like your angle. When I talked about all his big
booty Instagram models in his path, You're like, hey, hey,
she's been around to right.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Well, I'm just saying you tell me, Like, when you're
going through it, you're like, hey, what's more strange the
fact that he went from big bootied Instagram models rolling
around in Timberland's with cargo jeans and freaking know, extra
extra extra large T shirts and gold chains out of him,

(21:05):
you know, with his with his fade to Taylor Swift
or Taylor Swift going from the likes of you know,
Shakespeare classically trained Tom Hidleston and John Mayer, you know,
the arguably greatest guitars of our era, to Travis Kelcey, Like,
which one really made the larger move? Harry Styles in

(21:26):
his dress, right, I mean to Travis Kelcey a real lunkhead,
a huge hairy chest, Like, I think you can work
it both ways.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
Right, You're right, You're right. We'll be right back with
the top story of the day. Maybe Matt will dive
further into this.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
No, that will not happen.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
Dodgers reds tonight on M five seventy LA Sports curse

you this summer. Make or your favorite AM five seventy
LA Sports podcast, a preset on the iHeartRadio app using

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Road Trip all summer with LA Sports.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Huddle, Everybody, what's cracking and welcome back, AM five seventy
LA Sports your home of the Dodgers, Kershaw pitching a night,
Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift are engaged. Matt's going to Brazil,
Texas and Ohio State is packed with drama and has
nothing to do with West Coast football. Mick Cronin will

(22:34):
be on later. We got USC Missouri State.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
I mean, well not here. We would never carry that game.
Well we might someday, that's true, we would if we
were the partner for USC. Now that UCLA will no
longer be here, our heard on our station. I mean,
who know who's to say, right? I don't know that's
above our pay grade, Matt, as they you know, as
they say, I mean, look, we could pick up Chapman
football if we wanted, could we? I we don't have

(23:00):
UCLA football. They have a great radio TV school. I'm
sure they have a wonderful local broadcast to come off
a film on those games. Panthers. Top story that AP
took a glance last night was watching the game, was
it's quite excited about our man Andy PAHs, who we

(23:20):
have seen on the field and has been on the
field at the same time as we have and has
walked by us. And while we may have not locked eyes,
we have at least exchanged a passing glance at each
other while we have done our radio show from the field,
and he has gone through the warm up portion of
his baseball playing day. The Dodgers, after taking a glance

(23:43):
at the standings last night, go five hundred, and they
are in just thirty games left, fifteen and fifteen, and
they will punch their ticket to the tournament. As the
professionals like to say to the postseason, now, is that
some sort of relief should you exhale? If you're a
Dodger fan after the NL Wild Card was getting kind

(24:04):
of hot and intense, and you're like, man, if these
Mets keep playing great, you can see a world where
there could be some issues for the Dodgers, but no
that would hit them. At exactly ninety wins, they would
be four games better than the New York Mets on
their current win percentage rate, and they would get the
second wild card, which would likely mean a series against

(24:29):
the Cubs in Chicago. All three in Chicago if it
got even worse and then Mets played a little bit
better than them, then they would start a wild card
series against the Padres in San Diego. All three games
in San Diego. Not ideal, but winnable. Why bring it
up because it is something that we mentioned to David

(24:49):
Vasse yesterday in terms of the schedule and the fact
that the Dodgers and the Padres were locked. They were
tied at seventy four wins apiece seventy four and fifty
seven in the NL West, and how do the schedules
look going down the stretch, And look, the Padres look
like they have a much more favorable schedule as they

(25:12):
will play the Colorado Rockies and the Chicago White Sox,
the two worst teams in Baseball Colorado and the National League,
the White Sox in the American League ten times. So
whoever the Dodgers are playing, when the Padres are playing
those ten games ten one third of the schedule, the

(25:32):
Padres will have an advantage over the Dodgers that night,
whether they're playing the Giants, whom they still have to
play seven times, or the Philadelphia Phillies, who are still
left on their schedule. The team with the second best
record in the National League in mid September, or the
Seattle Mariners, who the Padres lost to last night, which
is why the Dodgers are up a game in the

(25:54):
NL West.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
They're battling the Seattle Mariners. They feel they can taste
the playoffs, and that's a desperate franchise's.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Exactly right, And that could be in the final series
of the regular season if the Dodgers don't already have
the number two seed locked up a playoff primer. If
you will up in Seattle, no less, I mean you
may have to go do it is not a Wednesday game,
but there is a Friday, Saturday Sunday game, and I
am sure that Softy and Dick Fane would be happy

(26:23):
to have you up there for a real Dodger Seattle
Mariner showdown if it meant playoffs or bust for either team.
Point being, every single one of these games, considering the
way the Wild Card plays out, is going to have
an incredible impact on the Dodgers' potential to repeat, which
is incredibly hard to do. It's why it has not

(26:43):
been done since the nineties as World Series champions. So
last night, the fact that you know where I'm gonna
end up going with this. The fact that Emmett Shean
was able to, as we often hear on our promo
schedule when we're doing our radio show and there are
other shows being advertised and they're playing highlights from those shows,

(27:04):
was able to show that he had grown a pair
and go seven innings and throw nearly a hundred pitches
to give that bullpen arrest, as the offense backed him
up with seven runs, so they didn't need to call
on Tanner Scott or Kirby Yates, and they were able
to flip it to our dear friend, and I would

(27:24):
assume moving forward, Anthony Bond and us we're going to
be thicke as thieves come on. And the waxed mustache
of Jack Dryer was a real victory. And I think
for those that just kind of looked at you over
a couple guys, though he did. It wasn't a clean
anys for him, but he didn't look half it was

(27:45):
it was. It was clean. It wasn't clean, but it
was scoreless. You know, you don't want a guy going
out there throwing I don't know, twenty five to thirty pitches,
but at least it was scoreless, and they didn't have
to call anybody else in. Dryer and Bond were able
to get through it. Andy Paiz, the young Cuban just
twenty five years old. Twenty four years old, I think,

(28:06):
actually Andy Pie is just twenty four years old, eleven
years longer than Swift and Kelsey exactly considerably younger, you know,
I mean, thirty five might as well rick higher.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
That's how we measure things now.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
And Piz doing what he does from time to time.
A game like last night a real kick in the
ass to get a team going twenty four, as I said,
won't be twenty five until after the season. Last year
pretty impressive at twenty three, right, guy hits two fifty,
which isn't easy, just askingfordohole hard it is to hit
two fifty thirteen homers Last year he hit two in
the playoffs in the NLCS. No less, He was striking

(28:40):
out last year every three point seven at bats. This
year way better, dropped his strikeout rate to every four
point four at bats. Of course, the power numbers are
way up. Twenty three home runs, a four to sixty
six slug. His slug and his ops are better than
Mookie batts. His RBI production is way up. I think
it's safe to say with games left and seventy five,

(29:02):
sitting on seventy five has got a real shot at
ninety ribbi's, which would be a hell of a freaking
number for a twenty four year old. And to put
it in perspective, and this is something we'll have to
ask David Vassa, because there is I think one major
concern about Paz, and that is that, well, I don't
like to take the walk.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Just not no, you don't get off the island like that, Matt,
You walk right into the seat.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
That's exactly right. The guy has only got twenty seven
walks this season in four hundred and seventy six at bats,
twenty seven walks. But I bring it up because as
we're now in the home stretch and we're kind of
thinking about, Okay, what happens if they face the you know,
if they are the number three, because they're the number
three right now, you would face the last wild card.

(29:46):
It would be Dodgers v. Mets in the wild Card round,
all three games played at Dodger Stadium. How would Andy
Paie has fit into this because he is there every
day now when Tommy Edmond comes back, maybe he won't
be there every day centerfielder. Who knows twenty twenty two
p Well, let's actually go all the way back. Let's
go to twenty seventeen, when a twenty three year old

(30:08):
Corey Seeger hit two thirty seven in the postseason, one
home run, six ribbies in ten games. In twenty nineteen
to twenty five year old Corey Seger hit just one
fifty with eight strikeouts, just two hits in twenty at
bats when the Dodgers were upset by the Nationals, And
of course, the next year at twenty six, he was

(30:29):
the World Series MVP. So it took him a minute.
Arguably one of the best young players that we have seen,
if not the best young player that we've seen, come
through the Dodgers system, the minor league system, drafted as
a high schooler, working his way up through the levels
of the minor leagues, coming to the big league club.
Since we've been covering the Dodgers, since the Dodgers have

(30:49):
been part of our broadcast, I think safe to say
that he's far and away the best player we've seen
come through the system. It took him a couple off
seasons to figure it out. Eighteen, a twenty three year
old Cody Bellinger, a guy that was a league MVP,
hit just one fifteen with sixteen strikeouts. In twenty twenty one,

(31:11):
a twenty five year old Will Smith did pretty well.
He hit two homers, he hit had thirteen ribbies. Actually,
you know what, let me go back, I forgot you
had Will Smith of course in the COVID World Series run,
and Austin Barnes would end up having to get a
bunch of at bats in there because he really struggled.
And Austin Barnes would hit three twenty through that World
Series title run. And of course we know that Will

(31:33):
has become one of the best hitters in baseball. So
as excited as we may get about Andy Piez and
these multiple homer games and the fact that he's hitting
two seventy three and he's cut down on his strikeouts
and he's sniffing ninety ribbies and he sniffing maybe twenty
eight to thirty home runs, the postseason is a different animal,

(31:55):
but the one thing it can do. And as I
tie these two things together between Emmett Shean and Andy
Paihes and more and more, players are coming back. We
know Key k is gonna be out there tonight. We
hear Tommy Edmond is very close to returning. It can
kick those guys in the pants a little bit, right
You got Andy Piez sitting there, and you want to

(32:17):
play in these postseason games, and you're Tommy Edmund and
you've had an absolutely miserable season. Incredible year last year
NLCS MVP to never take that away from him as
responsible for the Dodgers winning their first full season World
Series and having a parade with millions and millions of
people due to Tommy Edmond as much as anybody else.

(32:38):
But this season has really been an issue for him,
had not been able to kind of overcome that ankle
injury that's been dogging them all year. But you got
an Andy Piez sitting out there, who's playing a pretty
good center field, who's gonna hit close to thirty home runs,
who's gonna hit close not getting close to ninety ribis,
And I can only assume that that's gonna, you know,

(32:59):
lot a little now.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
If he keeps it going, He's like the ti Oscar
Hernandez of this year right now, like the bat that
you knew you needed, but you didn't know where it
was going to come from.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
And the other one p is last night, Emmit Shean
his best start this season. Seven innings, gives up just
two hits, no runs, a single walk compared to ten strikeouts.
He goes ninety six pitches, and may that serve notice

(33:30):
to a certain someone who the last time out in
a pivotal contest on a Saturday against the Padres, lasted
all of four innings, did not even bother going back
out there for the fifth, despite having only thrown eighty
three pitches. Sure he couldn't find the strike zone and
walked four guys, but four innings, three earned runs, four walks.

(33:55):
More importantly, gets the hook after eighty three pitches and
just four innings, made that particular someone old nips and
abs get a look at Shean last night. So you're
saying that Sheen needs a light of fire under glass.
Now that's what I'm saying. I'm saying, I see old
man Kershaw. I go into his game log, and what

(34:17):
do I see? I see six innings, six innings, six innings.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
He's even older than Travis Kelton's Kelsey and Tanner swimt.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Guy's got like six kids, and you got Tyler glass
Now out there throwing four innings before that, five innings
before that, five and a third come on, and itt
Shean's hitting a hundred pitches. Yamamoto is routinely hitting one
hundred pitches and going seven innings and six innings in
his outings. There's only one guy, Blake Snell seven innings

(34:46):
last time out of shutout ball, even though he should
say two run ball, he took the loss. There's one
dude that's got to start pulling his weight, and there
ain't a lot of weight there because we see him
with his shirt off and he's got that six pack going.
Mayem at Shean, much like we expect Andy Paez to
light a fire under some of these vets when it's
time to put that postseason roster together. Mayom at Sheen

(35:08):
have served noticed on Tyler Glasstow when he's gonna go
out there and take the bar the Diamondbacks in a
couple of days.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
That was glass Now before he hung out with the
BTS guy last night. He might be inspired by the
BTS guy.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
I wish you would have been excited to come out
of the dugout at Petco Park. For the fifth inning
as he was to come out of the dugout to
hang out with the BTS guy who threw a pretty
good first pitch.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
By the way, you know glass Now well Korea baseball town, right,
I mean country. Glass Now is a guy that has
really drawn your eye or Matt and he's been he's
been healthy, he's pitched okay, like he's been part of
the rotation.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Why are you so mean? Why you gotta be so rude?
He missed two months with an injury. Petros Yeah. Health.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
It's not like his injury wasn't innocuous like full body tiredness.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
He he he doesn't pitch, he doesn't last like it's
that you want to talk about taxing the bullpen. You
know what I mean. He's got a one and two record.
The man has got a one and two record, and
he has made four eight twelve thirteen starts. You know

(36:20):
what that means? Quick hook.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
So you want glass Now to have a fire lit
under him by the sheans of the world, and you
want Piz to light a fire under the Dodger outfielders.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Right. I want to say, hey, man confordo, you better
keep it up because while Alex call even though he
should you should be able to count on call. You know,
he shout out, I got a lot of count on
call text when he hit that Jack Matt right, even
though count on call should be in play set a CONFORDO.
Let this be a message to those dudes man play

(36:52):
the pie has throw Sheen out there for a start.
I feel better about him going seven innings than trusting
Tyler Glaston have to screw up my bullpen for the
remainder of a Like, if it's a three game wild
Card series back to back to back nights, are you
really gonna trust Tyler glass Now to like not have
your bullpen get absolutely ravaged before a game three? Do
you think the Cats? Do you think they throw Tyler

(37:13):
glass Now out there in one of the first in
one of those three wild Card games?

Speaker 4 (37:18):
No, I tell glass Now, take your shirt off and go.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Stand the dugout. That's a question. Brough, speaking of Clum,
put on that mister cartoon face. Oh God, pop the
pop the buds and just get ready to celebrate.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
So glass Now and Bonda, those shirtless mister cartoon mask,
they're like a mime twins.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
I got the sense that Bonda did not like that that.
Bonda was like, hey, that was kind of it was.
I think that's kind of what he was saying. When
we were like, yeah, it was a glass down he
was like, glass, I didn't do it first. Do you
think it was my fault? No? I think when we
brought it up, are you blaming me? You're taking his part.
I believe that Bonda alluded to the fact that no,

(37:58):
he was a Johnny Come Lately on the mister Cartoon mask.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
Yeah, I might you know what, I might be picking
that up as well.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
Yeah, it was a bullpen thing.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
They don't want the starters coming down there wearing their mask,
taking their shirts off, looking all swool.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
Like glass breaking their buds. Bond Us down there with
his modello's and his Mister Cartoon mask and here comes
this dude with his nips and his abs and hey, guys,
I want to be part of the Mister Cartoon Club.
I want to be in a cartoon Like, yeah, dude,
you can't even throw five innings. You're killing us down here.
What's wrong with you? There's one place you shouldn't be.

(38:35):
It's the bullpen. Going out for four innings against the Rangers,
last one inning against the pirates because you got hurt.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
But you don't have as much eye or toward the
other outfielder. It's other than CONFORDO.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Other than CONFORDO. Because I want to count on We
all do, right, we all want to count on call Don.
If we do, we'll be right back with some reaction.
See these many many controversy topics that we've been discussing
here in the first hour on a Time of the
list Tuesday, pat Us and Money, Curse Shop, Pitching to
Night for the Dodgers pregame starts at six.

Dodgers Red's coming up just after seven, Dodgers on Deck

Money show.

Speaker 3 (40:10):
All right, Matt, let's do some reacting react because there
is some reaction to have.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
The secret text does a fine brought to you by
your so called Toyota dealers.

Speaker 3 (40:23):
We make it easy. Uh, you know, between Taylor Swift
and your trip to Brazil. I mean this is a.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Lot Textoso is getting a lot of action.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
I mean it's just a lut because you know, there
are stories that thread their way through multiple days. You know,
we don't we don't just come on and list the
guys that got caught on cutdown day. You know, Seat
Seapus is in a war right now, God, Seat Seapus
and my guy Medvedev having a terrible year. Any there
are two favorites. Yeah, I'm a tangle on the same court.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
All right, here we go. Are you ready?

Speaker 3 (40:58):
This says Taylor Swift in my tod Travis Kelsey of
who he was a white man from the middle of America,
humbled him back to the white boy that he is.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
That's what it is.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
This one says, Travis is reformed. He went from big
booty bitches to a no booty plane. Jane. I mean,
she's one of the biggest stars in the world.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
I mean, arguably the biggest star.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
Funniest part of the announcement is seeing the two Instagram
user names next to each other at Taylor Swift and
at Killer Trass.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
Oh that's right, Killer k I l l A killer.
That's what you're getting there, Taylor.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
He I wish I didn't have that word tattooed on me,
but I do.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Uh P.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
Does Matt have a serious man crush on John Mayer?
He mentioned that guy like six times in a five
minute span. Damn Matt, he wants to smoke that pole.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
I do? Uh well, John Mayer.

Speaker 3 (41:59):
You have to understand long before, when John Mayer was
just doing you know, gravity in your body as a wonderland,
Matt wasn't into it. He knew he was a good
guitar player, but Matt wasn't into it. Dave was, yeah,
Dave Assay was. But now that John Mayer is like
the he's become Jerry Garcia and he plays the guitar

(42:20):
so much like Jerry Garcia used to that grateful dead
fans cannot resist their admiration and so he is beloved
in that way now. So that I believe is why Matt.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
Didn't see it coming, did not see that appreciation in
love coming.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
No.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
I went and saw John Mayer as Jerry Garcia, and
it was about as good of a concert as you
could go to. And that is why I believe Matt
mentioned his name six times as having betted Taylor Swift.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
And also John Mayer has probably made his way through
the most a list musicians and actresses. In all of him,
He's cut a wide swath.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
Yeah yeah, p I witnessed the power of BTS last
night at the Ravine. There were loud screams every time
that guy V from BTS threw the ball. As he
warmed up to throw the first pitch, the cheering started
a half hour before the pitch. Then he sat with
about eight security guards in a cleared out section of

(43:20):
the stands near the Dodger dugout. Pretty wild. The force
is strong with BTS, so that was a big deal.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Well, I think they're like, arguably the biggest band in
the world. I thought we just said Taylor Swift was, well,
you know, the biggest artist, right, biggest artists, biggest band,
So you got the uh, I think right? I don't know, Matt,
I feel like, I mean, in the campaign, wasn't that
the one that had the campaign against Conway? Wasn't the
BTS or was it John and Ken? No, No, it's

(43:50):
a long time ago.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
There's no chicken on a stick like Taylor Swift in Brazil.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
No, there is not. That is for certain.

Speaker 3 (44:04):
Pee listening to yesterday's podcast and Matt needs to escape
and go to the best restaurant slash bar, slash club
Scandello in sal Polo. It puts the strip club he
went to in Atlanta into the category of like watching
a Little League game compared to watching an MLB game.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
Scandelo. All right, I'm looking at it right now, No don't.
I'm just seen, like how far it is? Because everything
is incredibly far. Let's see uh yes, Scandela would be
an hour away from where I am.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
Okay, well that's better than going to the two and
a half hour secret beach with Tiago Fair. This says,
have you seen the game John Mayer has hunted?

Speaker 2 (44:57):
Yes? I have? Okay, a few see mean.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
P I'm a brother, and I'm curious, would you who
would you think has more circumference? Kayla Nicole's big old ass,
one cheek. That's a Travis Kelcey's ex I believe right,
or your radio partner's arms combined. I could see Matt
disappearing in that ass.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
That's absolutely true. I don't know. Matt's pretty ass cheek
weighs one hundred and fifty pound.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
Guys, come on, let's be cool. Come on, talk about
people's asses like that. That's not us.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
Well, I think that's what she's aver. That's what the
textosos are saying. Yeah, that's what she's known for.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
Taylor Swift is known for a flat ass, and Kayla
Nicole is known for a big bulbousy basketball style.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
One and her red lipstick flat ass red lipstick, and
we shall return the flat ass red.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
Lipstick Show of record, not even close, and the sal
Paolo Backstreet Show of record, Scandello, cheez Word number Saw
