Speaker 1 (00:02):
Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy.
They are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Dong me Yukespetrosen Money AM five seven e LA Sports
Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. No Dodger Baseball today,
Tomorrow or Thursday. It is the All Star Break. They
will face the Brewers to start the post All Star
Break portion of the calendar from the gapin Motors broadcast
booth at seven to ten pm. It will be a
home series against one of the hottest teams in baseball,
team that had just swept them the series prior to
(00:38):
the San Francisco Giant series that ended the unofficial first
half of the season, and a team that has won
seven games in a row.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
A lot of pushback on a fully functional employee.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Adham I thought he did a great job.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Well, you know, he had some NBA talk and he
wanted to remind us that before Lebron showed up, the
Lakers a real dumpster file, a real hot mess be
liking it to the modern times, like before the Luca trade,
everybody was down on the NBA as a whole, right,
and then the all start damp and it was so bad,
(01:10):
and then the Luca trade turned things around. Look at
this text, It says, why do you let Adam imbecile talk?
He's literally a Manchurian candidate. The Lakers may have a
better record, but the brand has been destroyed by the
entitled Petulance of the Queen.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It's a good text. You could argue that the clutch
sports infestation of the Lakers brand did some serious damage
for the half decade plus that they were here. The
idea that Rich Paul was pulling the strings and running
the Lakers is a bit unsavory if you will.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah, you got something to say about that, Bready McGhee.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I mean, was he running the Lakers when they wouldn't
get a d A Center for two years? Was that
him in control?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Was he running the Lakers when Russell Westbrook was traded
here after a deal for Buddy Heels and ruin the
Lakers for a year and a half.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
So that's three years ago now?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Is he still running the Lakers today?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Agent can negate a trade that the general manager wants
to make? That is unsavory when you are the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I'm not saying I like that stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
That's what I'm saying that qualifies as unsavory.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Some moves they certainly have been behind, and every franchise
to some degree does cater to the superstars.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Adam is so far over his skis matching Bron hate
with pms. Yeah you are, And this one says, get
his take on the cowboys? Next? What's Adam? What's Dack
Prescott's legacy like right now?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Not elite, not clutch, can't get it done the playoffs?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's a good take? What you want to hear? Was
there a do you have a hot take? Is deck is?
Do you have a cowboy take that you're famous for?
I have none?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
No? Now, are you will willing willing now to acknowledge
that my incredible knowledge of dates was more accurate than yours.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yes, that wasn't the crux of my argument. No, it
was not.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
It was the point. Is such a mess that Magic resigned?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Were they worse when Lebron came?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
No? They weren't.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Are you better off now than you were four years ago?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
A familiar regret.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I think that every Laker fan feels, or most Laker
fans that I know, feel that, regardless of record or whatever.
Your stupid bubble Championship. They feel as if Lebron James
has done incredible damage to the brand because he's such
a bitch.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
He made him the Los Angeles Lebron's which you can't have.
You do that with the Clippers, no offense. Oh but fine,
you do it with the Lakers, a team that's got
seventeen titles and all that history. It is a little
it's a bad taste. It's not palatable.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I don't disagree with that. He's a franchise unto himself.
Nobody accepts him as a Laker. I remember after Kobe
passed that first game back against the Portland Trail Blazers,
Lebron went out there, spoke to everyone, threw the notes aside,
and said, you guys want to hear this from the heart.
And that was the only time that I remember people
accepting him as a Laker. In fact, I think Bill
(04:14):
Plasky said Lebron is now a Laker.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
And yet that was incredibly orchestrated.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
And that and then Dwight Howard came at all. I've
seen him on the bus. Remember that I heard Dwight
Howard say that I'm not gay. A lot of people
that aren't. Yeah, I'm not gay, so just it's a
lot of people who are.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
And how did that turn out?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Well, he stands sticks Swiss story. Everyone is equal in
Adam's eyes.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I think Adam's got My takeaway is Adam's got relations
with clutch sports.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
All seeing Cyclop's.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Eyes, yes, that he does not want to burn Are you?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Are you? Because I know I can always tell Bron sexual.
I can always tell when Rich Paul calls Colin Cowhard.
And you know because the next day Colin Cowhard basically
regurgitates what Rich Paul told.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Him, or Jason McIntyre goes, if the Lakers get Bradley Beal,
they're the front runners to come out of the Western Conference.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Right there is that Warriors big, Warriors big, So you
might be one of those guys taking those calls, which
hurts your credibility.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Look, I just don't have Lebron. Lebron derangement syndrome is
a real thing.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
LDS.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
People are obsessive about him.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I don't like him.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, I'm tired of hearing from him every five days.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
We can be We're a sports talk radios.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
We can do what we want to tell us what
we can do.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Yeah, I get it. I just think people think about
him way too much.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
People that are thousands of miles away that are defending
the way he operates, don't live here, don't know what
the Lakers organization means.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
And we're not talking enough about the Clippers.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Look, I'm not defending everything he does. I'm defending one thing.
They weren't a better spot.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
We're moving on, Adam.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
The brand was in a better spot. Tell you that
right now. People weren't ashamed to see the purple and gold.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Around Todberry pancakes forever.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
All right, it's time for the word of the day.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
His words the word of the day.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
And his word of the day is anticipation. I was
walking through the desk area over there and I saw
somebody who's known as stuff foushe or.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
What is it? Is it with a tear or is
it with a k scuff fush?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I think it's stuff foosh.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
That's what I thought, But Kate says scuff.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
But he is the board operator and excuse me, production
engineer for the Tim for the Tim Conway Junior Show,
and he is a man of great appetites. And I
was walking through the area and he said, hey, you
know what's coming up tomorrow and I was like, yeah,
(06:59):
I got a leave town. He's like Tomorrow's Hot Dog
Day and I was like, oh, that's right, Tomorrow's National
hot Dog Day. We did a big promotion with Doghouse yesterday.
We had Ben Casparius on and at seven o'clock they're
going to run the Dodger Talk Our Ben Casparius Conversation,
just to give you a little baseball on All Star Night.
(07:22):
On All Star Week when the Dodgers are off, a
couple of guys going to be active tonight. First pitches
at five, but we're going to count kind of program
right through that. We'll talk to Rob Dibble next about
the All Star Game. But Steffouche is super excited, and
I was thinking, like, God, if I'm Matt Smith, the
last guy I tell about Hot Dog Day is Staffouche.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
He ate three of our hot dogs last time and
we had to go buy more dogs.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Run. He went on a mission.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Even though he's not supposed to leave the board right
cross the street, he made it in one segment across
the street the Whole Foods to get a package.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And if you said staff fu show for the Whole
Foods he's never coming back.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I mean, the good news is we have our connection
with Haffe Haffy hot dogs, so local, original, great, so
we can do the Haffees.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Well you can. I mean, I'm not right. I'm a
little down.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
About it about watching Scaffoosh scarfing.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I'm a little down about missing Matt's special hot dog
steamer day where Matt like acts like most people that
he never talks to.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Matt is like, hey, how about some onions you want?
You want some Hey, how about a little relsh there?
We got the sweet relish in the deal relish as well, ketchup.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
No, no, nobody, nobody becomes more interested in what everybody's
eating than Matt Smith on a hot dog day. So
I hope social Matt is here too to document it,
because he has in the past hot dog Day.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Clane will react to hot dog there. We're gonna have
to put the steamer in the other studios so that the
people aren't coming in here while Don's in here. That's
a tough one. But you need him in here, that's
kind of part of it. And you need Don being
like over it, right, And you know Don's a barbecue man.
He might not appreciate that boiled hot dog. Ve boiled dog. Yeah,
that's a that's gonna be that's I will be good
(09:13):
Will Don like the dog? That is uh?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I would say that that is a real lynch pin
on how it's gonna go. And you don't know, it's
a real variable as they.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Say, is done. How will dog receive this?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
If skip like we're in the middle of a segment
talking about the British Open and Don's super into it
and giving us his pigs, and here comes.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I heard Rory McElroy is going to fight Patrick Cantley's
caddy again.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
That's the word on the street. It's gonna be a
fun It's.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Gonna be a warning streak. That was two years ago.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Ryder Cup two years ago. There are a lot of
a lot of anger out there. Yes, in the Ryder Cup.
I don't know why it's so uh so hotly contested,
you know us versus Europe.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Shaffle's dad says he doesn't want to go.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I'm not going got happen.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Tomorrow is hot dog Day? You want to look forward
to that with? What is this not even barbecued?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
This guy back in here again? Well, because we can't
barbecue in the studio down there. It's no ventilation. We
would we would, we would die like that dude from Boston,
death by barbecue.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
But we do like to steam up to steam.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
To steam up these dogs. And you know what, don
let me tell you something. Wait till you push your
lips around that fun It is pretty good, steamed and soft,
you know what, it is pretty good.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
It's time for the number of the day. Here's my number.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Number the day is three. Uh. Nobody likes airlines slash
airport rankings more than I do, as a traveler and
a man who has to frequent the many domestic airports. Airlines.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
You mean Matt would go on, Matt would do a
layover in Denver instead of going to l a X.
I said, yes, yes he would.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
And here's the story to back it up.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Bee.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I believe this is a product, a byproduct, if you will,
of the complete failure that is Lax Lax, maybe getting
a little bit better. I did fly out of Delta
a little bit earlier this year, and I was like, Okay,
this is actually not a disaster of a terminal. Yeah,
but you were very dramatic about it.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
You was, you rendered your garment and the on the tarmac.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Today, the fifty best Airports in America posted multiple data
points twenty five hundred subjects, and in nobody's surprise, Lax
is not one of the top fifty airports in America.
It should be, it should be, but it's not.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
What's the problem, And my.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Crotchety old HP is you just detailed, and much of
the chagrin of my children. I opt for connections out
of mid sized airports in a town over a direct
the midsized airports in town here out of a direct
over the mess that is Lax. My justification. I live
in Seal Beach. I have to sit on the four
(12:03):
h five for an hour and a half to get
to Lax. Anyway, I've got to pay an uber driver
one hundred plus dollars for that ride, or I have
to park at a satellite lot and wait for their
stupid shuttle. That adds another thirty minutes, and then I've
got to show up to a security line that's going
to have a couple hundred people in it and deal
with that delay. There's no difference between that and getting
(12:23):
a pal or a family member to drive us to
Long Beach, where there is no security line.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Say I.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Can show up thirty minutes before I board, enjoy a
nice drink at the boat house. I'm completely relaxed by
the time I get on my plane, and it's no stress.
Instead of freaking out about the security line and traffic
and am I going to be late and I'm just
shoveled and upset. When I sit in my seat at
Long Beach, I'm relaxed and I'm ready for my flight.
(12:52):
And if I've got to sit in Saint Louis or
Denver or Chicago for fifty to seventy minutes, I'd rather
do it there at an airport bar or restaurant than
I would on the four h five and in a
security line. That's my justification. Well, Long Beach was named
the number two airport in America.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Do you ever get tired of it, Matt No, being
so right about everything.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Well, every lifestyle choice you've ever made, people are coming
around pee. They really are wacky Carpet Portland's the only
airport the top Long Beach. Well that's but how about
this beyond Long Beach? What I believe is a mandate
on lax Santa Anna John Wayne came in at number twelve.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Well, I mean, any airport in the area is preferable.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Right, But I think that's what led to this. Burbank
was fourteen, Ontario was fifteen. The people of la hate
LAX so much that whatever their regional airport is, they
just give it straight tens across the board because they're like, Hey,
if I can fly out of Santa Anna or Ontario
or Burbank or Long Beach, I am so much happier
(14:04):
than Lax. That's why all four of those airports are
so high, because of the dissatisfaction with LAX, the civic
failure that it is and has always been. That's my position.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I you know, you got the what could I say, Matt,
I'm not going to die on the Lax hill. I mean,
what do you want me to do?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
You got five roads merging into that loop, North and South, Sepulvida,
Century Lincoln, the Secret entrance at ninety sixth Street, all
merging into one spot.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yes, I'm quite aware of it. I've lived here my
entire life. That's been our primary airport. It's nearby home.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Congratulations to LGB for their number two ranking. To Santa
Anna for just missing out on the top ten. And
to Burbank and Ontario. I did not know the Burbank
is no longer.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
They'll send you your wings.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I need to say I earned them.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I like to think, well, you've done a lot of advocacy.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I didn't know the Burbank was no longer Bob Hope,
that it had changed to you No Hope Bank, Hollywood
super Kates, Angeles Airports. How Bob Hope has been dead
long enough that they're like, take his name off.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
He's got it straight in the desert. All right, this
is the song of the day.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Yeah, the song of the day is by English singer
Rag and bone Man. Fade to nothing because no sports
for the next two.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Days, paid to nothing. What are you talking about? We
got the All Star Game tonight, sports talking, We've got
Ryder Cup talk.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Soccer's on right now. There you go, all of it.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You're you're adult League soccer, Katie, the co ed Adult league, or.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I mean Portugal and Spain. Ye okay, so a little
higher level of competition. I thought that was over.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
It could be a replay. I don't know, it's just
what's on the television.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Oh look at that, dude. You are getting pushed back
from a local luminary.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
What they say.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
This is from Alicia de Laie the hell Shehino tell
money to zip it.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Long Beach is a secret. Hella x is an embarrassing
warts on our city. I like that, Alicia. Long Beach
is no longer a secret. It has been well publicized
since they redid the terminal for at least five years,
and it's not like they can add any gates or flights,
so it will still stay the same no matter how
many people decide to start flying out of there. Zip It,
(16:31):
you've done it again, man, sharing our secret. You're a hero,
and everybody I try to be the hot take I
try to be.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
We'll be right back with another hero, World Series Champion
All Star Rob Dibble.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
We'll join us next home of the Dodgers, the World
Champion Dodgers, and tonight after the show we get off
at seven, a full four hour show. We're going to
replay our inside the locker room at Ben Casparius yesterday,
great hour long talk with the Dodger starter relief do
it all Pitcher that has helped them to the best
record in the National League. Here at the All Star Breaks.
(17:05):
If you missed it seven pm, we will re air
that after we get off the year.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Joining us right now. A great colleague of ours, a
man who we all enjoy being around over the years.
Two time All Star, which is why it's good to
talk to him today for All Star Week. That's true.
A nasty boy, but actually a really nice guy in
(17:31):
real life. Television and radio conglomerate of sorts on your
Southern California Toyota Dealer, celebrity hotline, Rob Dibble, Ladies and Gentlemen, Rob,
A strong man, but a good man.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Hey good And a shout out to Ben Kasparius, Yukon guy.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, well you figured you like that? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (17:53):
I love that. Royal honey, A real husky guy.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
He missed one year there, but then he came back
in twenty twenty one and played great. Now Rob, the
All Star Game when it comes around, does it give
you some feelings? Do you do you enjoy it? Or
do you see it as a fanfare? How do you
approach it in your age?
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Get all warm and fuzzy, Petrows?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Did you deserve to?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
No?
Speaker 5 (18:20):
I mean, listen, you know it was different when I
got on the team, because there's not even an American
League president and National League President anymore, and they would
sit down with the manager of the team, which at
the time was Roger Craig, the Giants manager, and they
picked they picked the pitchers, and so that's how I
(18:40):
got selected to the first All Star Game, and I
was a setup guy and Randy Myers was our closer,
and obviously we'd go out and win the World Series
that year. And then the next year, Lou Panella was
the manager and I was pitching really well at the time,
and I'd become the closer and made it a second time.
So you know, when it comes around, it's always going
to be an honor for me because I never expected it.
(19:02):
I mean, it's you know, I don't care if it's
little league, high school, college, whenever you're picked for a
different level kind of recognition, it's an honor because you're
doing your job. And so you know, when I look back,
it's even more impressive to me because like the first
year I played, I think there was seventeen future Hall
of Famers out of the fifty guys I played with
(19:25):
and against, and then the second year there was twenty
future Hall of Famers, eleven on my team on the
National League side and nine on the American League side
that would become a Hall of Famer. So that's why
I think at this point in my life, it means
a lot more to me now than it did then.
I didn't even know how big it would become thirty
(19:46):
five years later.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I don't know, rob if it's because the pendulum maybe
just swung too far. But I find myself sort of
I don't want to say defending, but just pushing back
on the whole. Oh, this All Star Game now it sucks.
They don't care, like they didn't look when we were kids,
Like you said, it was al versus n L and
outside of the World Series, this was huge. But it's
still picture versus batter and the pitcher's still getting after
(20:09):
the batter and the batter is still getting after the picture.
Am I wrong? And that like, do you see a
difference between that picture batter interaction that maybe you had
when you were in the All Star Game?
Speaker 5 (20:19):
No, they still care. I just listened to a great
piece with Derek Jeeer and he's like, listen, if you
know I asked Petros to raise me fifty yards, I
still want to beat him. It's there's when you're a competitor,
you're a competitor till you die, and you expect to win,
you know. I mean, I'm sixty one. I talked to
(20:39):
Jose Canseco today and Canseco's still challenging people to home
run derby companies. I mean, it's our nature to want
to be winners, and so no, these guys aren't going
into the game like you know, I don't want to
do it. I thought the home run Derby was amazing.
All the other bs that was put on around it,
I could do without. They could probably do it in
two hours or less. And I was on the field
(21:01):
for at least a half dozen of them working for
ESPN Radio, where I got to interview those guys after
they hit. It's exhausting, but yet they know they're entertainers
and they're putting on a show. And I was proud
of what cal Rolly and Caminero did. I was actually
at a Red Sox game the other day and my daughter,
who's fourteen, loves baseball. She's like, that, isn't that the
guy that was playing third base for the Raids. So
(21:24):
I think that the new generation of kids, even the
ones I still coach sixteen, You guys that play in
perfect game. These guys love these players, they play MLB
the show, They know every one of them. They knew
guys like Jeames Woods before I did. So I think
that when you're competing in the All Star Game, I
don't care if it's Little League or if it's you know,
(21:47):
any other level, you want to kick the crap out
of the other team. And yeah, you can act like
your friends and stuff like that. But I can't believe
that Schemes or Scoobal in that locker room don't feel
the same way I did that when they look at
those other guys and those other uniforms that I can't stand.
I'll be your buddy for the next three days, but
(22:07):
after that, I'm going right back to wanting to, you know,
drop you on your back and strike you out every
time I face you. So there's a level of hatred
that even being in the same locker room or playing
against the other league, you're not gonna like those guys.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
And I just going to your point about perfect game
and kids and how baseball has had this great resurgence
in popularity, like the Miseroski thing, it makes perfect sense
to me, like I'd rather have that guy out there
throwing a hundred and two than a guy Lyn Suarez
that's not even gonna pitch and it's just gonna sit
on the bench. But you're the one that played. You're
(22:43):
the one that put together, you know, a great first
half of a season. Like where do you come out
on that sort of Hey, this is really great for
the All Star Game versus this guy really earned it.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Well, it's not even mad about earning it or not.
I mean, I agree with what you're saying because I
was in the National League dugout when they called the
game a tie and didn't finish the game in Milwaukee.
So because I think it was Vincent Padia could only
pitch one inning and that was embarrassing to I think
(23:16):
the game. Now, Listen, I'm a historian when it comes
to the game. They used to play two All Star
Games in the fifties so that they, you know, the
whole country could see him. Because you're still traveling around
by trains and planes and automobiles. You weren't flying like
you were charters now. And you know, these guys, if
you're going to go and compete, I want to see it.
(23:38):
I want to see this Mizzi Eerowski guy go up
against you know, possibly Aaron Judge or something like that.
But I guess Dave Roberts is going to bring him
in later in the game. But I want to see
schemes against Judge. I want to see Schooble against the
best in the National League, you know. I mean, so
for me, that's what it's all about. It's getting your
time in the game. I don't care if it's one batter.
(24:00):
I don't care if it's five batters. And you know,
I was there in ninety nine when Pedro Martinez wanted
to mow down the opposition. I was there when Shilling
did the same thing. This is about my stuff's better
than your stuff. Let's put the best guys out there,
and let's promote the game. Now, should there be sixty four,
Absolutely not, But we've got to that point because of
(24:21):
two thousand and two. And then you know, but Sea
League with this one counts crap and home field advantage
in the whole series. No, it's an exhibition game. It's
like the home run Derby. But when you put on
a show. I mean, it was funny because Canseko said
to me today his favorite player was the same favorite
player I had grown up, which was Reggie Jackson. And
the same thing Jose said that I felt every time
(24:43):
Reggie took his place at the plate, he was gonna
put on a show. Whether he struck out or hit
a home run, I knew he was given his best.
So that's the simplistic way of looking at this. I
gave my best in the All Star Game. I gave
my best every time I took the field. I don't
care if it was springt I don't care if it
was when I went to Japan on the All Start Tour,
(25:04):
I represented not only myself, but the Reds and Major
League Baseball whenever I put that uniform on.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Always a great man to talk to, always inspirational, our
little conduit into what it's like to pitch in the
major leagues. Rob Dibble, our friend, two time All Star,
and it's the All Star Game tonight, watching the Dodger
coaching staff walk out there right now on TV with
Freddie Freeman and show, hey, we ride the ups and
(25:32):
downs of the Dodger season a little closely here, Dibble,
as you know, because we're the Dodger Station. But no,
you know, but you get in the blimp from far
away and all this stuff we've said or overreacted to
throughout the first half. They've got a better record than
they did last year at the All Star break, a
couple games better. Are we just spinning our wheels talking
(25:54):
about it at all? Like, don't they just going to
be back in the World Series?
Speaker 5 (25:58):
No, they should get back to the World Series. And honestly,
I think last year, with all the injuries to your
pitching staff, that's even more magical. I don't know how
the hell Dave Roberts and that team did it. I
really don't. So now, listen, I love baseball. I love
watching what the Dodgers are doing. I don't care how
much money they spend. I grew up on the Yankees
(26:18):
doing the same thing in the eighties and the nineties.
Having a top three pay roll every year. It doesn't
guarantee you a championship. It just gives you an opportunity
to have a shot at it year in and year out. So,
you know, paying a guy seven hundred million dollars it
is not my money but for show. Hey, you know,
even jose Canseeko said this again. I can keep going
back to him, not to name drop, but listen, you know,
(26:40):
Jose's not a guy that throws around flattery. He said,
show Hey is the greatest player ever to play the game.
So that's coming from Jose's mouth. So that just shows
you how you got to respect game. You got to
respect a guy that can do what Babe Ruth did.
And for the Dodgers to do what they did, they
they got the biggest show man that baseball could throw
(27:02):
out there. I just wish show Hey was pitching tonight.
I wish Roberts would throw his damn ass out there.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
So let me let me ask you. I was just
going to ask you that because so he pitched on Saturday,
he threw three innings, kind of walk us through what
a pitcher schedule would be, what he would normally be
doing on a Tuesday, and like, if it's just a
last out of the game, right, you just want to
bring him in bottom of the ninth or top of
the ninth to get that last American League out, what
(27:27):
would like what's that mean for someone on a schedule
and how that would affect his body.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
It wouldn't affect him at all. I mean at this point,
rehab wise, he's been healthy for two three months. They're
just holding him back from because they don't need him necessarily.
But he could only be throwing five innings, six innings,
this would be probably a bullpen day for him. I
know he was working in the outfield throwing yesterday before
(27:53):
the home run derby, because that's what he does. I
actually know the people that make his bat at Chandler,
and this guy is so red mened Matt that that
he's he's way ahead of where the Dodgers are telling
people he is because that's just the way he's built.
He's he is a he's like Derek Jeter. I mean,
he is all about baseball. He lives, breeze everything, getting
(28:14):
his sleep, all of that stuff, nutrition everything, show show. Hey,
He's gonna play until he wants to quit because that guy,
that's all he wants to do is be the best
that ever played.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
You uh, you said you know the guys at Chandler.
That's like that's one of the crazier things, right, This
is a guy that could God knows what the bat
deal would be.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
But can I tell you about that real quick?
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah, because I've heard about this, I guess just.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
As bad that he liked, right, Yeah, So Chandler, Chandler
was after him for two years, maybe even longer because
obviously you've got all the Japanese companies that want him,
and everybody wants him, and they do the bats for
Aaron Judge as well. So my guy used to work
for Louisville Slugger. That that you know, I talked to
all the time, and you know, he was telling me,
(28:58):
he said, show Hey, basically he designed his own bats
and everything's to his specs. This guy is like he
knows everything about everything that he's doing. So when when
Chandler was like, listen, you, you know, if you come
with us, you can basically, you know, write your own
ticket on whatever kind of bats you want. We'll make
them to your specs and stuff like that, and they
(29:20):
also said he's the nicest guy they've ever dealt with.
That tells you anything, because you know, this guy has
been with he was with Louisville Slugger for forty years
and I saw him all the time because I was
in Cincinnati, which was about an hour away from where
Louisville Sluggers are made. That tells you everything you need
to know about show Hey. That he's still he you know,
(29:41):
when he's at the factory, or anything like that. He's
you know, he's he's courteous to everybody. Everybody, He's greets everybody.
He's courteous to everybody. He is just a special human being.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
It's awesome.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
It's special to watch the Dodgers. It's special to watch
baseball tonight. It's a great night for baseball. Every night.
It's a great night.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
I was trying to figure out if a guy on
TV was out lighter, and Matt's like, don't you know
what he looks like? Wasn't he hun pros versus Joe's?
And I'm like that, I don't remember his face. Those
were long nights, like I think that's pleased. Yeah, the
great Rob Dibble. Thanks Rob, having enjoyed the game, and
thanks for doing it today.

kind of.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Here's a text about Matt Smith. Oh no, how is
Matts so swoll? How indeed? Man, he is freaking swoo.
I am not like Matt, middle aged Matt, not like me,
a middle aged stoner leaving his wallet and his center
console to be stolen, but swollen ass Matt just absolutely

How is Matts swoo? The apple pan also has an
excellent tuna melt. Thank you, sir. I will be over
there to try it. I could see that I enjoy
and somebody did correct you. You know when when I
said I had a tuna mount and Met was like,
what was your cheese on it? It's like, well, yeah,
they don't melt the tuna. It's called a tuna melt
because it always has cheese. Correct, gotcha, I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah, I guess it can't be a patty melt without
the cheese either, correct.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Hey pee, they're wearing ned Colletti out today on Rogan
and Rodney. I've cleaned three pools and he's still on.
Speaker 2 (33:40):

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yesterday we were doing the Casparius interview and you know,
the Duke of Sports tweeted out that he was there,
and then somebody duke was there. I thought the Duke
of Sports was banned from the show. Was the Duke
of Sports band? Was he fighting with Adam or something?
Speaker 2 (33:57):
No? Remember he attacked Sam Amock and has our show
that rider bio. He got in a late night drunk
fight with a Mick right.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Amick called him mc clown.

Doesn't represent us? No, you take that off. We're like,
you got to take that off your bio.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
He called him a clown. That's right, thank you. I
guess he's back in the fold.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
The Duke did pop a bottle of champagne on the
top of his apartment complex by himself. When the Rams,
when the Rams? Or was it was it the Rams
win the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Rams win the Super Bowl popped the champagne. It wasn't alone.
He had a shooter.

He's the duke, all right, dukee has to drink of champagne.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
I'm the duke drinks it out of a beautiful crystal shoe, Petrose.
I was in Cleveland for a wedding this weekend, and
I told the idiot friends of mine that Lebron needs
to go oh and go back to Ohio. They all
said a varying version of f you, Bud is your
problem now? Even the King's jesters and peasants want nothing
(35:10):
to do with his old whiny ass. Yeah, think about
that next time you defend Lebron.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Yeah, Adam, you're right, Lakers are better winning seventeen games
in twenty sixteen than now.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
It's right, way better, way better.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Yeah, you're right. I'm going to say something. Has anyone
tried the cookies from Emily's Bakery? That's my niece. Love
you guys, thanks for being so cool to the family.
I think we've been to fifteen tour stops now. Wow.
I have tried Emily's cookies and they're excellent.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
They are the red velvet. Especially that one was incredible.
I dust it on the way home. This cookie is
not staying in his bag. I've got an hour and
a half commute home.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
I distributed them to family.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
I did not I hate them all. You kids don't
get any of these.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Unrelated I was listening to you guys on my kitchen
speaker the other day, usually a airpath.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
I'm an airpod's guy around the house.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
And my wife incredulously asked me, how long have you
been listening to these guys. I had to think about it.
I think it's been fifteen years. Then I crumbled into
dust and blew away.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
There was someone at the September's remote on Friday that
had been listening since he was a child and had
a child with him. Yeah, said he was like eleven
when he was a guy.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
The worst is when they bring they bring like a
fifteen year old girl, yes, and she's like, hey, I'm Chare,
And they show you a picture of like you holding
her as an infant, a baby, and like you know,
with five chins, like holding the infant.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
We had one of those two at the September.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Yeah, I was a few of those.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
The Age of Casparius is well deserved for the Panic
brothers after suffering through the June the third in all
the first round eliminations, The Age of Casparis will take
Petros and money to new heights of Dodger love and
fandom that will live and take up space forever in
the mind of mister Coward and Casparius. The replay is
(37:18):
playing in the next hour.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Yes, listen to his deliberate manner of answering questions. Is
there anything that's led you to become La? Yes? What
would that be? Air one? Yeah, he loves it. He's
a big air you want. Yeah, I believe that's ludicrous.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
They're having a real Atlanta. I mean it's a real
hot Atlanta, hot hot fest. That's either Ludacrous or Lewis Hamilton.
I don't know. It's one of the two though.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Well, since he's not wearing his big arms and hands,
it's hard to tell. It's hard for Lewis Hamilton's in
a grip that wheel with the giant hand.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
The big arms would not fit in the cockpit. That
what happened. I just drove right into the wall.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Pocket full of cash, big weed stash, just seeing a
big old ass. All right, we'll be right back with
more great sports talk. We'll do the top story. We're
