Justin Herbert playing at an incredibly high level, yet no
one's acknowledging it.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
When will they acknowledge?

Speaker 2 (03:44):
When will they acknowledge it? In the national meeting?

Speaker 3 (03:46):
When will you stop charging us for vegan milk? When
will you stop charging us more.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
For vegan Milt turns out twenty twenty five, mister Cromwell.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Well, maybe people are finally going to start showing love
to Justin Herbert, after all the things you've said, dog,
after all the great things you've done.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Listen, I am but a weak voice.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
You're like Shawcer. You're just a bard. I'm and you
do your and you do your poems and you sing
your song.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
And guess who listens Nobody. Yeah, you opened that yapra
yours and the Irish Times is picking it up.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Well, Matt, you're right on a South Bend trip. I've
really got the South Bend folks behind me. You have
really made a mark. Mayor Pete sending me a car.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Mayor Pete all over it man.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
The Irish Tribune, by the way, has a really cool
graphic of you with the microphone when you were a
sideline guy for USC football. Now they really went into
the archive.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
No, No, that's a picture of me at a Dodger
event when the Dodgers bought when the Gougenheim Group bought
the Dodge.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
I was when Bill Plashki attacked Magic Johnson for the
Frank McCort parking lot.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Yeah, that's a photo of that.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Oh is that the press conference you guys didn't want
to do from the field and our boss said.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
The field is your desk. Yeah, We're like, why can't
we get say, we sit down so we can like
a show. No, you're just gonna walk and talk. The
field is your office, three hour show, walk and talk
for three hours. My man, is there anywhere we can sit? No,
like a card table anything?

Speaker 2 (05:19):
No, I mean it's like being a realtor. That photo
is like fifteen years old and they got it of you, like, Wow,
look at how young and athletic he looks.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
I was. I don't think I looked a younger athletic
in that photo. Man, Not that I look better now,
but it's not really like I'm I don't know why
you're laughing so hard with your big swollen arm. You
don't like the picture there? Young?

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yes, but that's before I got my mole removed, right,
So there's that. Yeah, now I can see the uh
the outfield wall? Is that the outfield wall of the
Dodgers in the background?

Speaker 3 (05:59):
What is that?

Speaker 4 (05:59):
The repeat and the seats there?

Speaker 3 (06:01):
The irish trappy, the awful announcing used an even worse
Fox picture of me, and my face is really fat
in that one. See you see he couldn't even hold it.
He couldn't even hold how fat my face is? Have you, buddy,
she go do some.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Curls internet ads like fifteen.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yeah, that's true. When you blow something up from your
Twitter page, it makes your face so big.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Oh god, Just.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Because Kate's and call and shave each other's bellies, it
doesn't make them gay. Thank you for the text, sir,
You're right, it doesn't make them beat all right, Matt,
I got the word of the day. His words the
word of the day. I missed this, And we have
not talked hockey basically all year, and I don't anticipate

(06:57):
us talking hockey anytime soon.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
They stuck fuck?

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Did you just say they suck? Puck?

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Thanks for talking puck? Oh, thanks for talking.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Well.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Usually, if we talk hockey, if we talk hawk very polarizing.
Every once in a while somebody texts in and says,
like Pat, i's a love for talking punk. Now, when
we talk about hockey less than we talk about anything,
we talk about hockey less than we talk about darts.
Darts has really taken over on When we used to

(07:30):
have the Kings, we would have Luke Robataie on from
time to time, and.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Then then eventually we turned our back on that a
little bit to a certain degree. But I have a
ducks story, Matt. The ducks gave away. And I don't
know how many people go to Ducks games. I don't
think a lot. At the last Ducks game, in honor
of the holidays, the ducks give away. And I can

(07:57):
really get behind this. It's like a babble, but it's not.
It's a nut quacker.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
So instead of the nutcracker, it's.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
The duck with the duck helmet, and it's a nutcracker,
but it's a nutquacker. And look at the beak, not
a cracker.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
The beak is what cracks the nut.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Why are you playing bro him? Is that the ducks?

Speaker 4 (08:21):
Then they say, right, all right.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
I'm sorry that started it. And it's brought to you
by UCI Health. So it says you see I health
on the bottom. But we can all get behind the eaters.
The nut quacker is pretty great.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah. And there was a time kids, when you go
to your Grandma's for Christmas Eve for Christmas Day and
there would be a bowl of uncracked nuts that you
would pull a nice walnut out of. Oh yeah, there's
a reason they say crack some nuts.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Chestnuts roasting on enough bump and fire jack cross nipping
at chapoos some.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
That's that's the Colin tim Cats story.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
You can find some of these on eBay. By the way, already,
what are they selling them for? We got one for
forty in the box, got one fifty in the box. No,
not enough, too much, one hundred dollars. This one has
no box.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Too much ten bucks for a nut quacker? Or why
wouldn't Chris or the equivalent of Chris for the Dundas
send it up crackers? Yeah, send up a nut quacker.
I mean, Kate, you were like all over the ducks
nuts for a minute there when you're yeah, you're like
Petrol Stay won eight straight, weren't players?

Speaker 2 (09:34):
And this guy's twenty two and he's got fifty goals
in two games. Where's your nut quacker. Yeah, I'm not
sure collins Mouth, Yeah, exactly right. Guys are just out
of control. Out listen, man, we're not the ones that
made a custom card with his face on there and
his sad.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Why did you make such a nice gift for him?

Speaker 4 (09:55):
Because he deserves it.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
You're right, he is a thankless or.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
He none of us got him a gift.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
He does a thankless job and loves everybody. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Look at that. He comes in with personal gift for
you guys and walks out with nothing except something for me.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
I got him something I did. Yes, did you get
him in and out gift card?

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Perhaps? And casadors polomas.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
No, he didn't drink. Drink.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Just try it, Colin, Come on.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Man, take a sip.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Try it, man, just try it.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Hey, bend over, look over there.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
You.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Drop something on the floor.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
If I didn't know any better, you were jealous, he
was a little bit.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Yeah, I've said it. I've said it out loud, obvious
what it was, very upset.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
You got him the same gift you got Ronnie, the
same gift you got me, And you got Colin this
super special the.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Car and drink. All these gifts.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
And by the way, Hey, you gave business to Burbank
Sports Cards, who treat you like crap?

Speaker 3 (11:04):
Yeah, why don't Why don't you go somewhere where they
treat you like the great Dodger broadcaster that you are.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Because Burbank Sports Cards is the number one hobby shop
in America.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Well, but they don't care about you.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
This is true.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
You should go to the number two hobby shop in
America and in Burbank and they might treat you better.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, all the other burd Bank businesses you go to,
Don Kucko's, the Infrared Sauna place. Those places love you
and they treat you with respects shooting range, that's right. Yeah,
they give you extra targets, extramo.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
Extra targets is always a good thing, right.

that holiday spirit. As we make our way through the

Speaker 2 (17:40):
I got something I want to say. I hope the
Irish Times will pick up on it.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
I always do the last dance of the season. Only
this year somebody told me I couldn't. But I'm gonna
do my kind of dancing with a great partner, Miss
Baby Houseman. All right, we will call this the flip
top story.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
I just look yeah, I will look you up story
circle in the Midwest right now, with the Irish Times.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
I've really gotten a lot of people in the Midwest
behind me, and some people that carry water for USC
very upset with you, like they generally are. And that's okay.
I have said my piece about USC Notre Dame. I've
said my piece about USC Notre Dame months ago. I've

(18:27):
said it again throughout the season. You can check it all.
It's all pretty well documented on the am I seventy
or the Petros and Money, Instagram or Twitter. Very disappointed
about the USC Notre Dame rivalry actually going away with
no guarantee that it will ever return, and if it does,

(18:47):
it will be no sooner than twenty thirty. Actually, actually,
it's very hard. Actually now, I don't say this lightly
because you know me, you're here with me all the time.
I really don't care about much and don't really have

(19:08):
an emotional reaction to most things other than just trying
to have fun. I don't care in the world of
great sports talk. I don't care if Harrison Ford killed
his wife or not. I don't care. However, I don't
I don't think USC football is anywhere near what football

(19:30):
is supposed to be or should be. If they're not
playing Notre Dame every single year. To me, you might
as well start putting names on the back of the
jerseys where the dumbass purple and pink cleats, where bumblebee
striped socks do the alt uniform thing, do a blackout.

(19:52):
Stop playing at the coliseum, start playing at BEMO.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
That'd be kind of cool. Just get rid of everything,
very intimate.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
This it's over. The identity of USC football was the
fact that they played Notre Dame every single year. It's
what set USC apart from the other West Coast blue
blood so to speak, like Oregon or Washington. It's what
made USC relevant to the entire country of college football.

(20:24):
And No, going to Notre Dame in the odd years
in October is not the same as playing in the
eighteen team Big Ten of twenty twenty five. It's not
the same. They've got nothing to do with each other.
USC looks scared. I don't care what the negotiation said.

(20:45):
They got involved in the fervor negotiations both schools, and
they both completely and totally forgot what their job is.
And if you're at UCLA or USC, or you're a
Notre Dame, it's your job to make sure the right stays.
You are a steward of the rivalry. There is no

(21:06):
more important game, not a college football playoff, first round,
second round, whatever, more important than USC versus Notre Dame.
In an ever changing college football playoff landscape and a
sliding scale between USC Notre Dame. As far as who
needs who more who cares. Neither team is the same

(21:28):
without the other on its schedule. But I will say
this Notre Dame schedule BYU immediately. They'll probably get a
better game year in and year out from BYU than
they're getting from USC right now. And everybody's saying, well,
USC's too scared to play us, if they're Notre Dame

(21:49):
fans or whatever, the Irish Tribune people or the Shealey Press,
what they're saying is true. USC is too soft and
too scared to play Notre Dame. Their reasoning is, well,
it's too late in the year. Okay, we're in the
midst of the Big ten schedule. We have to travel
to the East Coast or the Central time Zone repeatedly,

(22:10):
so fair that we have to go back there again.
The bar is high at USC. What sets you apart
as the USC football program the fact that you play
Notre Dame every year. I'll forgive the fact that USC
blew up the Pac twelve. I've been very understanding of
why that happened. I watched the Pac twelve bleed out
and ruin its chances while everybody else printed money in

(22:33):
the big ten in the SEC. We watched that happen,
We saw what Larry Scott did. I understood why USC
did what they did to save their brand, But what
brand is there if you're not going to play Notre
Dame every year? It's sad and it's an absolute travesty.
And I do not say this lightly. I am disgusted

(22:55):
at the fact that it's absolutely a disgusting travesty that
they could not figure this out, that this has played
itself out for over a year in public. And who
controls USC? They obviously don't have very good leadership. We
talked yesterday and went through the timeline of how leadership

(23:16):
has corroded. So who controls USC donors? Where are the
effing donors to sit here and say, well, this is
not okay. I'm not going to stroke a check Kenny
Dillingham style stroke it if you don't do what you're
supposed to do and keep the identity of USC football intact.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Best Notre Dame replaced it with byu USC is going
to replace it.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
With what they're going to replace it. Arkansas State, Sacramento State,
Arkansas State, UNLV is probably too good to play Citadel.
If the Citadel wants to come out from Virginia, I'm
sure US he'd be happy to pay.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Them Southwest Missouri State.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
But you're right, Simo, they might start with the US.
He's never played an FCS school. They might as well
start that too. Honestly, get rid of the uniform tradition.
Stop playing the song. It's not USC football anymore. This
is the worst thing that could have ever happened to

(24:18):
USC football. This is an absolute identity killer. I don't
care about modern seismic shifts in college football. USC Notre
Dame was supposed to transcend that. The fact that Notre
Dame played US every year legitimized USC in the global
world of college football, back before teams traveled by playing.

(24:42):
This is an absolute and total abortion of what we're
supposed to be celebrating. If you're interested or support USC football,
you can twist yourself into kirkhurb Street and Colin Cowherd
mental pretzel and come up with the reasoning why this

(25:02):
happened or that happened. And in the negotiation this happened,
and they wanted to play early, they wanted to play late.
It should have never gotten to this point. It was
up to both universities to make sure this didn't ever end,
and it's over with no guarantee that it's ever going
to come back, and if it does, Lincoln Riley, Jen Cohen, Bavaqua,

(25:25):
who knows if any of these still people will still
be involved. So the one thing I'm leaving everybody with
in regards to this story is I'm disgusted. It's a
disgusting thing, and I generally don't care about anything, but
this is very upsetting. As upsetting maybe even to see

(25:48):
that Tim Kates put a lot more thought into his
gift for Colin Yee than he did for any of
the rest of us.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
I didn't think that was disgusting. I thought that was encouraging.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
I'm saying I'm more disgusted by this than I was that.
But in the moment, if you had like a close
up shot on my face when when Kate's and Colin
were exchanging those gifts, you might have had a close
up on my face and I was like, like just dumbfounded,
looking on like stand not amazed, stand not amazed, and
yet I was amazed.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Similar reaction to usc Notre Dame actually canceling even more.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
I'm even more disgusted, not so much to where I
won't eat or drink, but disgusted that you will drink more.
Maybe I might have a couple drinks and read that
Irish trip. Look at those handsome pictures of myself.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Check out the comments underneath the coffee, white.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
Face and body. That is my signature. We'll be back
with Michelle. You talk some horses, latest on the horse world.

It is our final show of the year. We are

will return, but pee Normally this time of year, you
get excited. You got the holidays, maybe you get a
little bit of time off of work.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
I know a family that goes every year to opening
Day at Santa Anita.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Every single year. Was gonna be Friday. You follow her
thoughtful family very well. It's bonding parents, children, grandparents. Racing
is back at Santa Anita Pee starting this Sunday, Sunday. Yes,
opening day was scheduled for Friday, Atmospheric River. But the

(28:00):
slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in rain, it's already here,
but it's really headed here tonight.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
You get to get rocked. Due to the weather here
in Southern California, opening day has been postponed and pushed
back to Sunday, December twenty eighth, when the Kate's family
and the Cads girls, Oh, they'll go to church, march
into Santa Anita and they'll go to San Ania. Bloody
Mary's for the girls and their boyfriends. Joining us now

(28:27):
to explain this, Michelle You on air, host, reporter and
analyst in Santa Anita. If Michelle You wasn't there, Santa
Anita couldn't race at Michelle You on as she's on
your Southern California Toyota neither celebrity hotline. There's a lot

(28:47):
going on at opening day. We're just pushing it back
because you don't want to stand out there in the
rain with a racing form over your head getting soggy.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
This dollar hot dog is delicious, it's also getting sause.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
My bloody Mary's getting watered down. Doug O'Neills tequila's half water.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
And he took it back.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
He gave it to us. Michelle. You take the bottle, Michelle,
how are you?

Speaker 5 (29:12):
I was so good. I love how Cerebrial this show is.
I mean, we're gonna quote Hamlet right off the bat.
I love it.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
That's me.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
You just wanted to acknowledge that you knew it was Hamlet. Michelle.
We could have done that for you. You know, yes, you do, well,
you truly you did.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
You've truly faced a sea of difficulties here at Michelle
with the scheduling. Tell us how much does this rock
back the U holiday and what you have planned in
the world of horses and horse teeth?

Speaker 5 (29:39):
You know, I mean, it certainly is unfortunate we can't
open on our traditional boxing day, but I think it's
great that we were able to plan this out early
so everyone has advanced warning. You know, weekends are always
super for the races regardless, and I think if it
means massive field sizes for these fantastic grated stake that

(30:00):
we have on tap, and you know, that's going to
be way better to have people out there in beautiful
sunshining with fast and firm conditions like we're used to
in California. So overall, it's not that big of a
deal because we knew in advance. It's not like a
last minute swing. So I think it's still going to
be fun. We're gonna know.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
About the atmospheric river.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Unless she watches the Weather channel, I.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Think everybody at plays pretty close tension.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yeah, you got to really changed.

Speaker 5 (30:26):
It doesn't rain that much, right, true, it's just crazy
every now and I didn't really have the craft beer Vestival.
There's going to be live music, there's going to be
food vendors, We're gonna have the Winter Fund Zone. I mean,
there's so much stuff going on. It's better that we
moved it and we have it on a beautiful day
than on a cold, wet, rainy day.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
All right, So, if in fact you have been monitoring
the weather, Michelle, you know that they are forecasting potentially
the most rain we have ever got into the LA
area so bad half inches over three days? Are you
telling me that's impressive? Rain on you lawyers, You tell

(31:07):
me you're telling me that on Sunday, December twenty eighth.
When you get things rolling, I'm not looking out for mutters.
That's going to be fast and firm, and we're just
we're going right back to what we're used to. We're
used to watching.

Speaker 5 (31:19):
Well, I'll say, maybe not firm, although our turf cot
can handle a significant amount of water, so we might
be a little less than firm and leaning towards a
touch of good. But overall, I think it's going to
be super fair as far as the main track goes, though,
I mean I anticipate that being pretty close to fast
because we know we're going to go ahead and seal
the racetrack. You know they were they allowed workers today

(31:42):
to have all these people work their forces beforehand. So
the training track will be open the next couple of days,
which we have an all weather training track, but the
main track is going to be sealed, so that's going
to protect the layer underneath from the weather, and then
once it's done raining, we'll open that up and then
we'll have a nice, beautiful fast racetracks for you know,
this fantastic. But seven of the first eight days of uh,

(32:07):
you know the meat, we're gonna be racing. So that
is awesome sauce.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
Awesome sauce. Indeed, Michelle, you is our guest. Racing is
back at San Anita on Sunday. They pushed it back
because of the weather. Michelle, how close is the relationship
between the horse types and the trainers and the groundskeepers
and the people there and the drainage experts and are
they constantly in communication? Are they constantly blaming each other

(32:33):
for each other's problems.

Speaker 5 (32:35):
Well, we can't blame anybody, right, I think that we
love we love distributing blame group. There's a nice little
group of people that get to chat with our track
maintenance and let them know, you know, any thought and feelings. Overall,
we've got a pretty chrich protocol in place for what
to do when weather comes around. And you know, we've

(32:57):
got great guys on the ground too that are talking
to the writers, were talking to the jockeys, we're you know,
talking to the trainers. So everybody is in constant communication
with what they think is best for the racetracks. So
we can keep everything super safe and super fun and
so there's no there's no blame or hate that goes around.

(33:17):
There's nothing you can do with the weather. All we
can do is be proactive about it. And I don't
think that we should, you know, let it just diminish
the fact that we're going to have super great racing.
We're gonna have the calendar giveaways. I know we're like.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
To us here my days. Don't pass love that calend.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Some of those phillies really get me worked up, you know,
get those get off there.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
Hey, there's different calendar, guys.

Speaker 5 (33:41):
That's been all right.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Hey, I'm looking at the schedule for Sunday, Michelle U
Gates open at nine, First Post at eleven, free general parking,
buy online and save ten dollars, walk ups twenty and
I see stakes races and under the stakes races. Yeah,
Lebrea Steaks presented by Don Julio. Will you go find Doug?

(34:05):
Will will you go find who brought us our uh
just Doug O'Neill, right, the bro Yeah, Doug O'Neill brought
us to Don Julio, our quarterback, Douga and then he
took it away from us. Will you go find Doug
O'Neill so he can pour you a shot of Don
Julio and then take that tequila away.

Speaker 5 (34:22):
What if I find him and I'll look at the tequila.
But you couldn't pay me to take a shot at tequila.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Yeah, that's right. Crown Crown and diet coke.

Speaker 5 (34:30):
Yees see regular coke, regular coke.
