We will start at two o'clock. Miss that show, Torrance.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I'm going up.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I'm going down on Torrance Boulevard. I'm going to the
Coptic Orthodox Church on Torrance Boulevard. I'm going to fly,
Fly Fly. It's time for the top story of the day.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Of the pain is Real Where Raiders. There were some
that thought the Raiders could be a sleeper team this year,
smitten with the close to the season last year and
why not Christmas Day win over the Chiefs that Andy
Reid waxed poetic about how it was a catalyst, a
wake up call to his team on the road to
(02:42):
another Super Bowl title. They got both Tom Toe LESCo
and Brandon Staley fired in the middle of a game
basically in Las Vegas during prime time, handing their rival
the most brutal beat down in franchise history. Antonio Peers
emits Raider energy. All things seem to line up for
(03:05):
this to be one of those can we sneak into
the backside? Can we sneak into the bottom of the
playoff picture?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Do you want to sneak into some of these backside?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Man, don't turn around, sneaky, sneaky, I.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Don't want to see our heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Could they sneak into the postseason and maybe make some
noise in the playoffs? It was not a feeling by
Raider Nation and Raider Nation alone. A lot of the
national talking heads thought, I could see it, I can
visualize this. It wasn't to be bad juju from DeVante
Adams from the jump. Some injuries, some tough losses, and
(03:43):
ultimately just didn't have the quarterback. Without a quarterback in
the AFC.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Kind of feels like that would be the death.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Now, Yeah, in a conference with Mahomes and Jackson and
Alan and Burrow and Herbert's just too tough. But with
some news today, I'd say consider yourselves lucky Greater Nation,
because at least it looks like there's an opportunity to
pull out of this thing relatively quickly, with a whole
(04:12):
lot of cap space, a likely top five pick to
use on one of the three quarterbacks Ward Milroe Shador,
and you are not stuck with fifty million bucks attached
to the worst of the worst, someone that would force
you to hire one of the worst offensive coordinator play
(04:34):
callers in the league. And then after you do that
as the head coach, who's.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
The worst offensive coordinator play caller in the.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
League somethink Nathaniel Hackett, Okay, yes, And then after you
do that for your quarterback, as you're the play caller
for the other side of the ball and the defense
is in fact hummin Robert Sala offense is terrible, you
get fired, and then the defense falls apart because said
head coach great defensive play caller isn't around, and that
(05:04):
side of the ball falls apart. The GM, the guy
that made the trade for you, that handed you over
one hundred and fifteen million dollars and did it even
though you said you know not enough. I really want
to do this. Thinking about retiring. We go to the darkness,
and when I come out, I'm going to shame all
(05:26):
of you for being so stupid and not recognize how
cool the darkness is and what it does for your
decision making. Your process still gave you one hundred fifteen
million bucks seventy five million guaranteed, and then after that
you went on to point out that you were going
to host Jeopardy or maybe be the Vice President of
the United States because you are certainly qualified. With that
(05:47):
big brain of yours. You forced the GM to trade
for and sign receivers that would not be on any
NFL roster save the one. I won't that this person
has quarterback.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I will not allow Laza to be I called a
lizard game in West Virginia like ten years ago right
after Thanksgiving, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Close with Lazard in my heart right. I will not
have him disparaged here. We would he be on any
other NFL roster.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I don't know. I'm not an NFLGM type.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Hey call your family already Thanksgiving, man, I bring it
up on this local show. You guys, nothing.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
But local losers.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I'm would introduce you to the new dad. Bet you
know what I mean him. It's gonna move some things
arout for you.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Guess who I bet?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I bring it up on this local show because remember,
reportedly Raiders thought about it, and reportedly he thought about
the Raiders Devonte Adams. There made sense that Aaron Rodgers
could or would follow. Not, for whatever reason, it didn't
come together. Instead, the Jets set the draft picks that
(07:01):
the packers were looking for. They handed a Ron seventy
five million dollars guaranteed, and now today, with reports by
the very dependable Rich Samini, did Aaron Rodgers after the
firing of Joe Douglas this morning, is very likely to
not be back on the Jets next year. A forty
(07:22):
nine million dollar dead cap hit on next year's number.
Be damned. Wow, forty nine million bucks in dead cap money.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I could say with all certainty that I've been in
contact with the New York Jets front office today.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Did they give you a hint dist of whether or
not they were going?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I just congratulated the new GM and was sent back,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I'm better follow up.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
But even not being a GM type. I have to say, what.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
A day for you? The lodge reaches out.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Lodge, Well, the lodge didn't just reach out. I noticed
that the Lodge followed the other day and mentioned it today.
So it seems like it's an amalgamore.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
News for you. It's new news for it.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
It seems like a compounding of crazy events, Matt. But
it's not. But I did text Phil Savage today and
he texts it back.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And well, Phil Savage is going to have to navigate
forty nine million bucks in dead cap if he keeps
this job beyond the interim tax.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
So what do you want me to say? What about
that forty nine million a dead cap? There? Phil?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
He is aon Rodgers, really as big of a douche
as he seems. WHOA They will have paid him that much.
Seventy five million bucks guaranteed one hundred and fifteen is
what the total was, But let's just call it seventy
five to play one season if he makes it the
rest of the way. Because I could totally, I mean
(08:49):
totally see what could you see, Matt? With your mind's eye?
I can see.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I got three eyes to to look and one to see.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I'll tell you. What I could see with their eighth
loss does not look likely they make the postseason. In
the ASC, you're gonna need ten wins the way this
thing is stacked up with the Ravens, the Chargers, and
the Broncos ahead of them. Here's what I could see.
Let's just say one play drops back to make a
throat alizard, Ow, what's the matter?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
No, jest, I have got a really bad tramp. I've
been having really bad tramps all week.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
It's probably menstruel.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Screw you, melon.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I could see a drop back and in ow.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
What's the matter? You're up next? Chest Aaron Rodgers a
really bad tramp, an NFL MVP, a man of honor.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
He's forty years old. They're not making the playoffs. What
is he playing for? They lose every game. He's got
a worst win percentage of Jets quarterback than Zach Wilson
or Sam Darnold, worse winning percentage. Let me just say this,
(10:00):
the rich Semini report is true. And why wouldn't it
be so mean?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
He's got a big winnie, as you said.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Does don't let it be you Vegas, don't you there?
Forty one years old? QB raiding behind Jamis and Joe Flack.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Do you think Tom Brady would allow that to happen?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Right, tom Brady can't even go to a production meeting
because he owns the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
That's a good vibe for that's a good deal. That's
what you want out of your number one analyst. I
can't go, So you're gonna fly and meet us all
there for the dinner on Friday night? Hell no, I
can't even go to the production meeting. I'll see you
guys on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
What about the walkthrough? Not allowed?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Not allowed? It's unfortunate, But I'll see you on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
What do you want to say about this pass? Interffeirs
can't talk about it? Sorry, not allowed of criticized.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Leag can't mention the reps considering his current behavior. Uh,
focus on the two way street, not the one way.
Not the one way where Aaron Rodgers tells you why
they lost the game and not being him fight didn't
run the red line. That's all you people in the media.
(11:04):
These guys in this locker room listening to you too much.
What's wrong with us? No focus, no energy. These guys
are distracted out here that's what it is. That's why
we're losing these games. Don't let it be you. The
questions are being lobbed at Dion Daley now answering, Hey,
Shador to Vegas, Fata Kompley, what are we doing here now?
(11:27):
I don't know how Tom Tellsco feels about it, if
he's going to be back in a corner to make
sure or Sanders his ticket to employment the next decade,
or if he's fired after a season.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
And a half.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
But Dion did say he will be a dad, that
he will direct if he has to direct, that he
wants Shador, who has worked too hard in his career,
to go to a place where he believes the structure
is good, the market is good, the brand is good.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
And that's what he feels about the Raiders sounds like it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
He did say he likes it there, that he likes
Las Vegas, that he likes the Raiders, that he likes
Mark Davis, that he likes it. Antonio Peers and he
and Tom Brady are boys, and with only the Jags
having just signed Trevor Lawrence, they're in position to maybe
make this thing work. Dion Sanders, head coach, Shadoor Sanders quarterback.
(12:16):
Don't don't let it be Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Do you think Colorado will hire Joel Klatt?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
They're smart, they will.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
So you don't want Aaron Rodgers to even have a
job next year.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
No, no job, no job for you. You're terrible. You're bad
to people, and I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
You're just jealous that I've been in contact with them
front off, of course I am. I have a real insigner.
I'm like chefter. I can't even take a shower. Congratulations,
I can't even take a shower, be with my kids.
I'm always on the phone, two phones, to see what
Phil Savage text me back.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
You're gonna start posting that picture like a rash.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I'm an insider. I forgot I had Phil Savage ever.
He texted me once like three years ago. Hey, I
really luck the job you're doing on this kid. There's
a lot Phillix, Phille. You did a great job with
the Singer Bowl. You're a mosy what you're doing. We'll
be right back with Bill Plash on one. Soto, I
thought you're gonna go full Dodgers Matt maybe tomorrow, for sure, tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Smelling lack a ruse that somebody gave me on my birthday.
Death me petrosend money AM five So La Sports. We

two until five pm.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Matt joining us right now, a hero to the people,
the La Times, master columnist, friend of the city and
the show. Sometimes we're reluctant to call him because he's
been so milk and juiced to death by the show
before us to death. But we're on top of it
(14:22):
this week writing a great column about Sodo and the
Dodgers courtship of Wan Sodo after the World Series and
the epic Dodger explosion celebration that we experience this fall.
It is on your Southern California Toyota Diator celebrity hotline.
(14:43):
The Immortal Bill plash on the Petros some money show
on AMPI seventy LA Sports. What's cracking? Bill?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
How are you fall fellas? I had to tell you.
I've just scored you since then. I was on the
field after the World Series Championship Game five looking for players,
looking for walk if we were looking for Blake try
and looking for shoy Okannie and who do you think
comes up in hugs me and grabs me. The first
person I saw on the field, Don Martina.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
That's right, Bill, come here, give me a damn big hug.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Don Martin was my first interview on the field of
the World Series.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Taw Wow, fantastic, amazing story. What an embrace, great story?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Right, Thanks forever?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Then, Bill, Bill, you know you're part of this now.
Bill you are. Don't don't second guess yourself. You're not
just a witness. You're a participant. Damn it, it's called
out terrible.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
I said, Don, you guys doing pretty good with all
this playoffs and everything. He said, we're doing very well.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, yeah, Well Bill, Uh, you've got to see it
all unfold. You've been in the city for decades and decades,
You've written all the stories and told all the tales
top to bottom. You saw that parade. How can you
quantify what a Dodger championship in a non pandemic type
of situation looks and fields in this city.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
It's amazing. The Dodgers have taken over the city. I mean,
they've taken over the town. The Lakers aren't. After all,
it's not even it's not even close anymore. I've never
seen a city so juice and to parade itself. Those
buses were going like eighty miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
They wanted to get to the booze.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
The Lakers for like one minute, and yet nobody complained,
nobody bitch about. Everybody was happy. Everybody's happy to just
just to be there. It was probably in the nightmare
of traffic, so it was. It was something like I've
there seen before. I've ever seen a city come together
like this, all all economic groups, all raises and crees
and colors.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
It was.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
It was amazing. It was lat diverse, tightest, closest, best,
better than any Lakers thing, ratter than other Dodgers think
it was. It was amazing.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Bill.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I think you Proba, well, you couldn't speak to it.
I'm sure you know the the dat what the data are.
But you know, when you do like calling shows, it
tends to be a lot more populated and a lot
more popular. When things are going bad, everybody wants to
tell you what they would do different, or why they're
pissed or who's screwed it up? Uh, what's it been
like at the times after the win as you're writing
(17:15):
columns about why it happened, how it happened, celebrating the
individuals that made it happen, are like now looking toward
next year, is there still a great thirst for Dodgers
content or is everyone content to just celebrate the victory
and and where their Dodgers World Series gear around town daily?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Ten times as many Dodgers quick I used to get. Tonight,
I'll give an example. Tonight, I'll set to the Lakers
to do Jdriddick and how he's doing and how you're doing.
And the Dodgers decided to talk to one Soto and
I got to stay home and write that that's that's
bigger than anything in this town. And and they're just
(17:56):
talking to them. So it's it's become its fits you.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Everything we write about him, it does does tremendous on
the web. Every every everything, come we talk about him.
People flock to us. He had this video called Dodger's Debate.
They got thousands and thousands of views, and it's just
the fun video we did. We did have to every game,
Me and Deal Hernandez and Jack Erris talking a great
it was, it's it's it's it's incredible. Yeah. So go Dodgers,
(18:23):
Go Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
That's right, Bill. And at least now you don't have
to go see JJ Reddick and listen to him talk
down to you and all that at the Laker game.
You could just be at home and write about one. So,
I mean that's pretty big.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I mean, I mean, I thin't got the right call,
don't you guys?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah, yeah, don't we. I mean, JJ Reddick ain't going nowhere.
He'll be able to condescend to you. Next week.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Guy's gonna tell you how Brownie earned it.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, don't worry about it. Uh. So tell us do
you think the Dodgers should entertain one? Sodo? Bill?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
And why no, no, Sodo, I'm giving away the column.
I don't care, no Sodo. Why he's he'd be there,
he'd be there, highest paid player for angle salary because
of show. He's the first contract and they don't need
another highest paid player. They have three leaders in there
they don't need. They have great bear leadership the club house.
(19:11):
They have Mookie and Freddie and Shohey. He would he
would have upset that that dynamic. He's more playing. I
love he he's flamboyant. I love how he loves to
play the game. But his style is different in the
grinding out Dodgers style. It just wouldn't work. And worse,
worst of all, if they signed him, they probably would
have signed to the Oscar Hernandez. They got to bring
(19:31):
Tail back. They had to bring him back. He was
a hard and soldest team. So I think for many reasons,
I think that they or Soto.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yeah, part of me wonders if in I don't think
it really matters, Right, these guys are making so much
money that driving up the price on Soto from six
hundred and ten to six hundred and sixty million isn't
gonna do much to the Yankees or to Steve Cohen,
whichever those two ends up signing him. Uh, it just
feels like they're in it just for the sake of
being and in they you know, we talked about this
a couple of weeks ago, and you win the World Series,
(20:04):
and you shouldn't have to pay too close attention to
the hot stove and freak out about how your team
is going to get over the hump that they let
you down on in the postseason the previous year. But
it does feel like a lot of Dodger fans are
paying attention to the pitching market and that that's probably
the direction they're going to go. Ultimately.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I think it's I know this is going to sound weird,
and I think you gotta sign we signed well reviewer
what I what I saw him do in Game five,
the biggest cojonies I've ever seen a baseball pitcher throwing
that last in and get that last out his fourth
in October. They got to bring him back and all
(20:42):
most people say, he's heard, he's gonna be hurt all
the time. He's worth it's out, He's worth it. He
also got to sign this Sasaki pitcher from Japan. He's cheap.
They got to get him. Then you got to get
another probably a third starter, geez, maybe Max free And
so what death of this is which just spend their
money not online?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
So all so.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah, hey, hold on, Bill, Bill, wait a second, because
you used an interesting word. There have they have to do?
They have to And by that I mean like, do
you cut them some slack? If it's like, hey man,
we spent three hundred and thirty million bucks on a
on a roster last year and we won a World Series,
So maybe we take it a little easy here and
we kind of figure it out for a year or so,
(21:24):
we get the Sazaki guy because he's cheap, and and
maybe it's not the Corbin Burns for three hundred million
bucks or Max Freed for two hundred Would you be
fine with that or do you feel like you've got
to keep putting pressure on them like they have to
do this?
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Well, then yeah, I probably should just say to have
Once you win a championship, you're in a year of
nobody say you have to do anything. But I think
that Dodger fans, if they want a chance at a repeat,
and they do you take us into the next level.
They need more starting pitching. But I don't think they
have to make a good point. They don't really have
to do anything except so I think you have to
(21:58):
keep keep this thing together, and I think Blake Trying
should come back. I get her a NH should come
back and welcome Blue. Blue should come back. I think
the oskar and should come back. They should try to
keep the team together. It was such a magical special chemistry.
I've never seen a team before. These cars are on
the field after game five, They're crying, They're hugging each other.
(22:18):
They're like a family. It was something I've never seen before.
They're so unselfish, the way they play for each other.
I don't think that's so rare in sports, so rare
in baseball. If you got that, I think I think
the one thing they have to do is try to
keep the team together. I think that's that's the hand
to if you don't go out and get a big creagent,
you know you're right money. I don't really care if
they keep the guys they got so important to keep
(22:40):
the guys they.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Got at Bill Plaski on Twitter, b I L L
P L A S C H K I I mean, ka.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
You fell for it, Bill, You took the bag. Yeah,
you took the bag. I saw it right here. No,
it's k E Sorry everybody, Bill.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
When's the last time done?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Martin's faulk You guys, Well, maybe never again.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, sadly maybe, uh yeah not hopefully soon we'll leave
it at that. Hopefully. Well we'll get a hug from
him very soon.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Now, Bill, it's very important for me to know whether
or not you're gonna go to the U s C
U c l A game on So, yeah, that's a
great I mean, it is rivalry week. Bill. Are you
gonna go and write about it? Oh?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Yeah, I can't miss the Crosstown. I gotta go. But
I'm gonna write about USC, probably more than U. S
LA because I'm just not that interested in Deshaun Foster
had a tough year. That's really Martin Jermond's problem. Yep,
it's it's his is his doing. It's not de Sean
Foster's fault. No, I don't know worry about USC because
(23:55):
he's he has got to win this game now. They're
not gonna You're not gonna fire. Look at our by
the way, was the happiest person the Dodgers won the
championship because he got the heat. The heat was the
pressure was off him, the attention was off him. But
it's back on him now and he's not going to
get fired this year. But he could be lamed up
next year. He needs to win this game, So no,
(24:15):
I'm going.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Are you guys going, Well, no, Ill, I got.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
That one thing at that place over there, so I can't.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
And I have to call a Mountain West game that's
very important. Air Force in Nevada is not going to
call itself, so I've got I'm very busy in my
own right, Bill, and I have my own work to do.
But let's say that you're down at USC trying to
write an article about how fire Lincoln Riley or whatever,
and the Dodgers signed Juan Soto. What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
He goes, everything goes, everything goes, everything, take second second,
back seats the Dodgers, the Dodgers. If on Saturday, the
Dodgers resigned Walker Guler before kickoff, I'm doing Dodgers, I'm.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Serious, all right?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Do you leave the game though?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
No, I mean once I'm there, although i'd fight traffic.
Apparently the game's not sold out.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Oh no, it's not even close. And it's so close
to your house.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Yeah, so good. It's it's ten minutes away. And I
don't don't have to gotta get on the two freeway.
I can just be bodcasted. The bandic corver ride and
you're right there side straight, but I would I would
stay right to calumf there, but I would write, I
would switch. It could be the fourth quarter target and
the Dodgers reached onto.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Hey because because you are the Yeah, you are our
heart beat here in Los Angeles, our sporting heart beat.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Bill Gods agree, absolute.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Absolutely, what are you talking?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
No pushback from us here? But have you ever had
like it? It truly flummoxes us that so few NBA
just NB a beat or like Lakers beat or NBA
national uh journalists will not step to Lebron. They will
not call this what it is. They are hesitant to
(26:06):
kind of dig too deep into the Bronnie James thing.
What has your experience been like with with Lebron? Are
you going to take this sort of bron He's not
traveling with the G League, Bronni is terrible and has
not played well in any game yet this season? Are
you going to take it on? And what are the
ramifications of taking on Lebron? Like why does he make
life so hard on everybody that they're afraid of him?
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Yeah? So I am going to take that on. I
just about that this week that's stunning. I mean, I'm
not I'm not going to trash a kick, but he's
no good. It's not his fault. He's just not even good.
But you can trash the Lakers for just for so
cow tired in Lebron that that they don't make his
son travel and learn life on the road in the
G League and learn how to play it back to
(26:50):
backs and travel and all that stuff they're really doing
and do have a bad disservice. And I think with
lit Lebron, he's so he is so big now, I mean,
he's a he's probably the most he's the most famous
athlete in the world. He probably is right messy.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah, yeah, I don't think he's got messy.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
International he's pretty close.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
He's so big you can just you can just sense
you or although outside I think the Laker beat writers
do a great job, and they do do their best,
and they bust their butts and they write great stuff.
But in general, the public just in general, you're around him,
it's like you're around royalty. I mean, he's just it's
just his ore is such that I think it's hard
(27:39):
for anybody who is not real close to him to
take a shot at him, and that's and that's not
right because he needs to. He's ruined this organization. He's
he's such a great player on the court, he's unbelievable,
and that's that's the one thing that pet people latch
onto as well. He's still the best players in the league.
He's from a hoarse age. But what he's done with
(28:03):
this Bronny thing is unconscionable.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
He doesn't have a bill. He doesn't have a greater
aura than Otani. Though I feel much different around though
Tani than I do Lebron.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
No.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
I don't know. I think o Toani is very embraceable,
you know. TONI would look at I asked him a
question and he'll look at me and smile and shake
his head like he knows what I'm asking. I mean,
he's so embraceable. Lebron's more on a yeah, he's more
on a feedest though. Lebron's more all like all no
(28:35):
and all boys Bory. He just he feels untouchable when
you're around him. He just does because because you know,
you're talking to history, You're talking to the best player
in history, the most famous athlete on the planet. I
think it's hard for people sometimes to take a discerning
is on that everybody's human.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
You're freaking Bill Plashki. Talk to him over the hell
you want? Yeah, that's what I say. I like when
Lebron crowns him self, but he puts on his own crown.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
That's the royalty part you're talking about, Bill, what's happening.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
We appreciate you guys because you guys are one of
the only ones in town who will speak out about it.
I think that's important.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
We don't care for everybody hates me.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
We don't care. We love you though. Bill, you're the
best of the best, Bill Plashki, the best best columnists
in the world. La Times. He's gonna be writing about Soto,
So check that out at the La Times. K E
k e At the end, Uh, he'll be at se Ucla.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
But who knows what's gonna happens. He wants to get
a word in here.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Me and my good friend Don Martin are gonna hang out.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Now.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I gotta all right, exactly right.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
See, you guys got a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Bill.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
There he goes. The great Bill plash apparently didn't get
the news we'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Hate, Matt, I didn't want to give it to him.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I got something for you, okay. I know you're very
interested in Alaska.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
I love Alaska, all right. I love Baked Alaska.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Got that too, and the tim K to alask if notcho.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
The best things ever Petro Some Money AM five seventy
LA Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio. Have come see
us tomorrow, Come see us Thursday. It feels like tomorrow.
The excitement is so palpable Torrance, it is, Man, I
want to be there tomorrow Thursday.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I wanted, I wanted, I want it.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Two to five pm. BJ's Restaurant in brew House, a
Petro Some Money Live appearance going into Thursday Night Football
at the Dolamo Fashion Center right there by Carson Street,
giving away tickets to Chargers Ravens, Monday Night Football, the
Horribowl at Sofi Stadium, and a host of other prizes.
Two to five pm this Thursday. We'd love to see
you in Torrance at the BJ's Restaurant brew House, all.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Right, Matt. We do have a couple of minor sports
stories that we need to uh sports stories or great
sports talk Alaska.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I thought it was the dull scene.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Matt, darkness imprisoning me.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Oh, I see absolutely.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
We might be bummed out because when we leave the
radio station here, it's dark and we feel cold.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
And alone, but no one can see my tears scene.
Is it so dark, so dark I can't see.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
And now nobody can drive because it's so dark out,
and uh, kind of a bummer. The whole daylight saving
thing this time of year, the holidays and the events
kind of pull you through. But the early darkness is
an early sadness. Now we might be bummed out with
the sun going down early around here or everywhere, but
consider Barrow, Alaska now also known by its indigenous name
(31:56):
of Hooky. Oh fuck.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
It's just a true crime follow up. It is just
like the city the true crime was based on. No,
you mean true detective Jody Foster and that other one.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
The indigenous women. Yes, and the boxer lady right who
had hard riding sets, very hard, and that that.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Move that's just steal in her face too, Matt.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yesterday in uk Eyouck the sunset and it will not
rise again until January twenty seven. So you remember that
when you're launch.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Yeah, no daylight two months.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
You remember that when you're riding home. Because the Super
Bowl right before it, and two days after the College
Football Playoff crowns a super Ulti Bowl champion. It is
going to be dark in uki fuck Aka Barrow, Alaska.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
It's terrible all the way up until then. I guess
they're used to it, though maybe it's all they've ever known,
sixty four days with no sun. They know the sun,
but for two months those sixty four days, like you mentioned,
no sun, like the last season of True Detective with
Jody FoST. So maybe it's not so bad. Here in
southern California, the sun comes up pretty early. Go on, Serve,
(33:17):
couldn't do it, No, you would, could not do it.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Then you wake up the dog can't.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Do it, so.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Little orphan and he cannot sing the sun will come
out tomorrow. No, in Ukiaga it will not. That whole
NBA Christmas Day thing is gonna happen without them in
the light. I mean they can watch it.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
I gain now January twenty first, you could sing the
sun will come out tomorrow, but not until.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
That's a whole medley. All right. Another story in Alaska
down to Anchorage. Matty stories or great sports talk.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
That world.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
That world. It's another dead whale, whale, a real dead whale.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Well, it is Alaska, Matt.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
This dwarfs the dead whales that we've seen here recently.
The size of a school bus. That's big whale near
down town Anchorage. It's a big whale, bigger than the
Torrents whale recently on Torrent's Beach, Bigger than the Huntington
Beach whale over there.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Polts of Chicos saw that one with my own two.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
This Anchorage dead whale, it's forty seven feet long. Hook Jesus,
the pictures are.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Stunning, five stories tall. Basic it is huge, as long
as that building across the street.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Quoted in Alaskan media Alaskan Public News, a woman named
Annalise Cumphrey and said this, I think it's kind of
funny that this is just like the vibe right now. Hey,
have you heard about the dead whale.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Well, if it's as tall as a five story building,
I'd like to think you have.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
We've always been your dead whale show, a record, not
even close. Now. They don't know what happened to this whale.
It's a fin whale, which is an endangered species.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
That's Unfortunately it's.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Never happened right there in the harbor in Anchorage. Based
on everybody's memory, they're not going to blow it up.
You sure, yeah, apparently it's tied up right now. But
when the tide rises up, they're gonna the tide's just
gonna carry it away. Okay, do you dream of a
cold Alaska? You better wrap up warm tonight. And we
(35:32):
all know who blew it up, right, Yes, our friends
in Florence organ the exploding whale November nineteen seventy fifty
four years ago. A bad idea. Good luck to the people.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
It wasn't a bad idea. The proud nacho eating or
does it live in perpetuity?
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Do you need me to play it?
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Mat You let the tide play. That whale out to sea,
and Florence, Oregon is now ever mentioned. Yet we have
every year we have an anniversary.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I had a chunk of the whale actually killed somebody,
it would be a lot different. It would be now,
you could take the stinkers out of your ears, all right,
just play it. It had to be set.
Speaker 6 (36:14):
The Oregon State Highway Division not only had a whale
of a problem on its hands, but it had a
stinky whale of a problem what to do with one
forty five foot eight ton whale dead on arrival on
the beach near Florence.
Speaker 8 (36:28):
It had been so long since a whale had washed
up in Lane County nobody could remember how to get
rid of one. In selecting its battle plan, the Highway
Division decided the carcass couldn't be buried because it might
soon be uncovered. It couldn't be cut up and then
buried because nobody wanted to cut it up, And it
couldn't be burned but dynamite. It was some twenty cases
or a half ton of it. The hope was that
(36:49):
the long dead Pacific grave whale would be almost disintegrated
by the blast, and that any small pieces still around
after the explosion would be taken care of by seagulls
and other scavengers. The seagulls had been standing nearby all
day as everything was being made ready. We asked George Thornton,
the highway engineer in charge of the project, for his
final observation.
Speaker 9 (37:09):
Well, I'm confident that it'll work. The only thing is
we're not sure just exactly how much explosives it'll take
to disintegrate this thing, So the scavenger, seagulls and crabs
and what knock can clean it up.
Speaker 8 (37:22):
Is there any chance it might be more than a
one day job if there's any large.
Speaker 9 (37:27):
Chunks left, and we may have to do some other
clean up, possibly set another charge.
Speaker 8 (37:34):
The dynamite was buried primarily on the leeward side of
the big mammal so as most of the remains would
be blown toward the sea. About seventy five bystanders, most
of them residents who had first found the whale to
be an object of curiosity before they tired of its smell,
were moved back a quarter of a mile away. The
sand dunes there were covered with spectators and land lubber newsmen,
shortly to become land blubber newsmen. With the blasted blubber
(37:58):
beyond all leavable bounds, our cameras stopped rolling immediately after
(38:31):
the blast. The humor of the entire situation suddenly gave
way to a run for survival as huge chunks of
whale blubber fell everywhere. Pieces of meat passed high over
our heads, while others were falling at our feet. The
dunes were rapidly evacuated as spectators escaped both the falling
debris and the overwhelming smell. A parked car over a
quarter of a mile from the blast sight was the
(38:51):
target of one large chunk. The passenger compartment literally smat
Fortunately no human was hit as badly as the car
over Everyone on this was covered with small particles of
dead whale. As for the success of the effort, well,
the seagulls who were supposed to clean things up were
nowhere in sight, either scared away by the explosion or
kept away by the smell. That didn't really matter. The
(39:13):
remaining chunks were of such a size that no respectable
seagull would attempt to tackle anyway. As darkness began to
set in, the highway crews were back on the beach
burying the remains, including a large piece of the carcass
which never left the blast sight. It might be concluded
that should a whale ever wash ashore on Lane County again,
those in charge will not only remember what to do,
(39:33):
they'll certainly remember what not to do again.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
They don't blow that whale up, We don't have that sound.
People driving home right now in the near dark are entertained.
So thank you, Florence Oregon for blowing the whale up
and hey, Anchorage, that was fifty four years ago.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
We're looking at you.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
It could use an update. Okay, we're looking at your kid.
It could use an update.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
We'll be back with a whole other hour, a great

Brewing Insider at seven pm, a full four hour show,

to five at the Delamo Fashion Center of course, the

(01:54):
we will see you there Thursday, a week from tomorrow.
We will start at two o'clock. Miss that show, Torrance.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I'm going up.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I'm going down on Torrance Boulevard. I'm going to the
Coptic Orthodox Church on Torrance Boulevard. I'm going to fly,
Fly Fly. It's time for the top story of the day.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Of the pain is Real Where Raiders. There were some
that thought the Raiders could be a sleeper team this year,
smitten with the close to the season last year and
why not Christmas Day win over the Chiefs that Andy
Reid waxed poetic about how it was a catalyst, a
wake up call to his team on the road to
(02:42):
another Super Bowl title. They got both Tom Toe LESCo
and Brandon Staley fired in the middle of a game
basically in Las Vegas during prime time, handing their rival
the most brutal beat down in franchise history. Antonio Peers
emits Raider energy. All things seem to line up for
(03:05):
this to be one of those can we sneak into
the backside? Can we sneak into the bottom of the
playoff picture?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Do you want to sneak into some of these backside?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Man, don't turn around, sneaky, sneaky, I.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Don't want to see our heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Could they sneak into the postseason and maybe make some
noise in the playoffs? It was not a feeling by
Raider Nation and Raider Nation alone. A lot of the
national talking heads thought, I could see it, I can
visualize this. It wasn't to be bad juju from DeVante
Adams from the jump. Some injuries, some tough losses, and
(03:43):
ultimately just didn't have the quarterback. Without a quarterback in
the AFC.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Kind of feels like that would be the death.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Now, Yeah, in a conference with Mahomes and Jackson and
Alan and Burrow and Herbert's just too tough. But with
some news today, I'd say consider yourselves lucky Greater Nation,
because at least it looks like there's an opportunity to
pull out of this thing relatively quickly, with a whole
(04:12):
lot of cap space, a likely top five pick to
use on one of the three quarterbacks Ward Milroe Shador,
and you are not stuck with fifty million bucks attached
to the worst of the worst, someone that would force
you to hire one of the worst offensive coordinator play
(04:34):
callers in the league. And then after you do that
as the head coach, who's.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
The worst offensive coordinator play caller in the.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
League somethink Nathaniel Hackett, Okay, yes, And then after you
do that for your quarterback, as you're the play caller
for the other side of the ball and the defense
is in fact hummin Robert Sala offense is terrible, you
get fired, and then the defense falls apart because said
head coach great defensive play caller isn't around, and that
(05:04):
side of the ball falls apart. The GM, the guy
that made the trade for you, that handed you over
one hundred and fifteen million dollars and did it even
though you said you know not enough. I really want
to do this. Thinking about retiring. We go to the darkness,
and when I come out, I'm going to shame all
(05:26):
of you for being so stupid and not recognize how
cool the darkness is and what it does for your
decision making. Your process still gave you one hundred fifteen
million bucks seventy five million guaranteed, and then after that
you went on to point out that you were going
to host Jeopardy or maybe be the Vice President of
the United States because you are certainly qualified. With that
(05:47):
big brain of yours. You forced the GM to trade
for and sign receivers that would not be on any
NFL roster save the one. I won't that this person
has quarterback.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I will not allow Laza to be I called a
lizard game in West Virginia like ten years ago right
after Thanksgiving, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Close with Lazard in my heart right. I will not
have him disparaged here. We would he be on any
other NFL roster.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I don't know. I'm not an NFLGM type.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Hey call your family already Thanksgiving, man, I bring it
up on this local show. You guys, nothing.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
But local losers.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I'm would introduce you to the new dad. Bet you
know what I mean him. It's gonna move some things
arout for you.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Guess who I bet?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I bring it up on this local show because remember,
reportedly Raiders thought about it, and reportedly he thought about
the Raiders Devonte Adams. There made sense that Aaron Rodgers
could or would follow. Not, for whatever reason, it didn't
come together. Instead, the Jets set the draft picks that
(07:01):
the packers were looking for. They handed a Ron seventy
five million dollars guaranteed, and now today, with reports by
the very dependable Rich Samini, did Aaron Rodgers after the
firing of Joe Douglas this morning, is very likely to
not be back on the Jets next year. A forty
(07:22):
nine million dollar dead cap hit on next year's number.
Be damned. Wow, forty nine million bucks in dead cap money.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I could say with all certainty that I've been in
contact with the New York Jets front office today.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Did they give you a hint dist of whether or
not they were going?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I just congratulated the new GM and was sent back,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I'm better follow up.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
But even not being a GM type. I have to say, what.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
A day for you? The lodge reaches out.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Lodge, Well, the lodge didn't just reach out. I noticed
that the Lodge followed the other day and mentioned it today.
So it seems like it's an amalgamore.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
News for you. It's new news for it.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
It seems like a compounding of crazy events, Matt. But
it's not. But I did text Phil Savage today and
he texts it back.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And well, Phil Savage is going to have to navigate
forty nine million bucks in dead cap if he keeps
this job beyond the interim tax.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
So what do you want me to say? What about
that forty nine million a dead cap? There? Phil?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
He is aon Rodgers, really as big of a douche
as he seems. WHOA They will have paid him that much.
Seventy five million bucks guaranteed one hundred and fifteen is
what the total was, But let's just call it seventy
five to play one season if he makes it the
rest of the way. Because I could totally, I mean
(08:49):
totally see what could you see, Matt? With your mind's eye?
I can see.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I got three eyes to to look and one to see.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I'll tell you. What I could see with their eighth
loss does not look likely they make the postseason. In
the ASC, you're gonna need ten wins the way this
thing is stacked up with the Ravens, the Chargers, and
the Broncos ahead of them. Here's what I could see.
Let's just say one play drops back to make a
throat alizard, Ow, what's the matter?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
No, jest, I have got a really bad tramp. I've
been having really bad tramps all week.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
It's probably menstruel.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Screw you, melon.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I could see a drop back and in ow.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
What's the matter? You're up next? Chest Aaron Rodgers a
really bad tramp, an NFL MVP, a man of honor.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
He's forty years old. They're not making the playoffs. What
is he playing for? They lose every game. He's got
a worst win percentage of Jets quarterback than Zach Wilson
or Sam Darnold, worse winning percentage. Let me just say this,
(10:00):
the rich Semini report is true. And why wouldn't it
be so mean?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
He's got a big winnie, as you said.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Does don't let it be you Vegas, don't you there?
Forty one years old? QB raiding behind Jamis and Joe Flack.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Do you think Tom Brady would allow that to happen?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Right, tom Brady can't even go to a production meeting
because he owns the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
That's a good vibe for that's a good deal. That's
what you want out of your number one analyst. I
can't go, So you're gonna fly and meet us all
there for the dinner on Friday night? Hell no, I
can't even go to the production meeting. I'll see you
guys on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
What about the walkthrough? Not allowed?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Not allowed? It's unfortunate, But I'll see you on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
What do you want to say about this pass? Interffeirs
can't talk about it? Sorry, not allowed of criticized.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Leag can't mention the reps considering his current behavior. Uh,
focus on the two way street, not the one way.
Not the one way where Aaron Rodgers tells you why
they lost the game and not being him fight didn't
run the red line. That's all you people in the media.
(11:04):
These guys in this locker room listening to you too much.
What's wrong with us? No focus, no energy. These guys
are distracted out here that's what it is. That's why
we're losing these games. Don't let it be you. The
questions are being lobbed at Dion Daley now answering, Hey,
Shador to Vegas, Fata Kompley, what are we doing here now?
(11:27):
I don't know how Tom Tellsco feels about it, if
he's going to be back in a corner to make
sure or Sanders his ticket to employment the next decade,
or if he's fired after a season.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
And a half.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
But Dion did say he will be a dad, that
he will direct if he has to direct, that he
wants Shador, who has worked too hard in his career,
to go to a place where he believes the structure
is good, the market is good, the brand is good.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
And that's what he feels about the Raiders sounds like it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
He did say he likes it there, that he likes
Las Vegas, that he likes the Raiders, that he likes
Mark Davis, that he likes it. Antonio Peers and he
and Tom Brady are boys, and with only the Jags
having just signed Trevor Lawrence, they're in position to maybe
make this thing work. Dion Sanders, head coach, Shadoor Sanders quarterback.
(12:16):
Don't don't let it be Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Do you think Colorado will hire Joel Klatt?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
They're smart, they will.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
So you don't want Aaron Rodgers to even have a
job next year.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
No, no job, no job for you. You're terrible. You're bad
to people, and I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
You're just jealous that I've been in contact with them
front off, of course I am. I have a real insigner.
I'm like chefter. I can't even take a shower. Congratulations,
I can't even take a shower, be with my kids.
I'm always on the phone, two phones, to see what
Phil Savage text me back.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
You're gonna start posting that picture like a rash.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I'm an insider. I forgot I had Phil Savage ever.
He texted me once like three years ago. Hey, I
really luck the job you're doing on this kid. There's
a lot Phillix, Phille. You did a great job with
the Singer Bowl. You're a mosy what you're doing. We'll
be right back with Bill Plash on one. Soto, I
thought you're gonna go full Dodgers Matt maybe tomorrow, for sure, tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Smelling lack a ruse that somebody gave me on my birthday.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Matt joining us right now, a hero to the people,
the La Times, master columnist, friend of the city and
the show. Sometimes we're reluctant to call him because he's
been so milk and juiced to death by the show
before us to death. But we're on top of it
(14:22):
this week writing a great column about Sodo and the
Dodgers courtship of Wan Sodo after the World Series and
the epic Dodger explosion celebration that we experience this fall.
It is on your Southern California Toyota Diator celebrity hotline.
(14:43):
The Immortal Bill plash on the Petros some money show
on AMPI seventy LA Sports. What's cracking? Bill?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
How are you fall fellas? I had to tell you.
I've just scored you since then. I was on the
field after the World Series Championship Game five looking for players,
looking for walk if we were looking for Blake try
and looking for shoy Okannie and who do you think
comes up in hugs me and grabs me. The first
person I saw on the field, Don Martina.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
That's right, Bill, come here, give me a damn big hug.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Don Martin was my first interview on the field of
the World Series.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Taw Wow, fantastic, amazing story. What an embrace, great story?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Right, Thanks forever?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Then, Bill, Bill, you know you're part of this now.
Bill you are. Don't don't second guess yourself. You're not
just a witness. You're a participant. Damn it, it's called
out terrible.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
I said, Don, you guys doing pretty good with all
this playoffs and everything. He said, we're doing very well.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, yeah, Well Bill, Uh, you've got to see it
all unfold. You've been in the city for decades and decades,
You've written all the stories and told all the tales
top to bottom. You saw that parade. How can you
quantify what a Dodger championship in a non pandemic type
of situation looks and fields in this city.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
It's amazing. The Dodgers have taken over the city. I mean,
they've taken over the town. The Lakers aren't. After all,
it's not even it's not even close anymore. I've never
seen a city so juice and to parade itself. Those
buses were going like eighty miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
They wanted to get to the booze.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
The Lakers for like one minute, and yet nobody complained,
nobody bitch about. Everybody was happy. Everybody's happy to just
just to be there. It was probably in the nightmare
of traffic, so it was. It was something like I've
there seen before. I've ever seen a city come together
like this, all all economic groups, all raises and crees
and colors.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
It was.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
It was amazing. It was lat diverse, tightest, closest, best,
better than any Lakers thing, ratter than other Dodgers think
it was. It was amazing.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Bill.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I think you Proba, well, you couldn't speak to it.
I'm sure you know the the dat what the data are.
But you know, when you do like calling shows, it
tends to be a lot more populated and a lot
more popular. When things are going bad, everybody wants to
tell you what they would do different, or why they're
pissed or who's screwed it up? Uh, what's it been
like at the times after the win as you're writing
(17:15):
columns about why it happened, how it happened, celebrating the
individuals that made it happen, are like now looking toward
next year, is there still a great thirst for Dodgers
content or is everyone content to just celebrate the victory
and and where their Dodgers World Series gear around town daily?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Ten times as many Dodgers quick I used to get. Tonight,
I'll give an example. Tonight, I'll set to the Lakers
to do Jdriddick and how he's doing and how you're doing.
And the Dodgers decided to talk to one Soto and
I got to stay home and write that that's that's
bigger than anything in this town. And and they're just
(17:56):
talking to them. So it's it's become its fits you.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Everything we write about him, it does does tremendous on
the web. Every every everything, come we talk about him.
People flock to us. He had this video called Dodger's Debate.
They got thousands and thousands of views, and it's just
the fun video we did. We did have to every game,
Me and Deal Hernandez and Jack Erris talking a great
it was, it's it's it's it's incredible. Yeah. So go Dodgers,
(18:23):
Go Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
That's right, Bill. And at least now you don't have
to go see JJ Reddick and listen to him talk
down to you and all that at the Laker game.
You could just be at home and write about one. So,
I mean that's pretty big.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I mean, I mean, I thin't got the right call,
don't you guys?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah, yeah, don't we. I mean, JJ Reddick ain't going nowhere.
He'll be able to condescend to you. Next week.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Guy's gonna tell you how Brownie earned it.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, don't worry about it. Uh. So tell us do
you think the Dodgers should entertain one? Sodo? Bill?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
And why no, no, Sodo, I'm giving away the column.
I don't care, no Sodo. Why he's he'd be there,
he'd be there, highest paid player for angle salary because
of show. He's the first contract and they don't need
another highest paid player. They have three leaders in there
they don't need. They have great bear leadership the club house.
(19:11):
They have Mookie and Freddie and Shohey. He would he
would have upset that that dynamic. He's more playing. I
love he he's flamboyant. I love how he loves to
play the game. But his style is different in the
grinding out Dodgers style. It just wouldn't work. And worse,
worst of all, if they signed him, they probably would
have signed to the Oscar Hernandez. They got to bring
(19:31):
Tail back. They had to bring him back. He was
a hard and soldest team. So I think for many reasons,
I think that they or Soto.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yeah, part of me wonders if in I don't think
it really matters, Right, these guys are making so much
money that driving up the price on Soto from six
hundred and ten to six hundred and sixty million isn't
gonna do much to the Yankees or to Steve Cohen,
whichever those two ends up signing him. Uh, it just
feels like they're in it just for the sake of
being and in they you know, we talked about this
a couple of weeks ago, and you win the World Series,
(20:04):
and you shouldn't have to pay too close attention to
the hot stove and freak out about how your team
is going to get over the hump that they let
you down on in the postseason the previous year. But
it does feel like a lot of Dodger fans are
paying attention to the pitching market and that that's probably
the direction they're going to go. Ultimately.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I think it's I know this is going to sound weird,
and I think you gotta sign we signed well reviewer
what I what I saw him do in Game five,
the biggest cojonies I've ever seen a baseball pitcher throwing
that last in and get that last out his fourth
in October. They got to bring him back and all
(20:42):
most people say, he's heard, he's gonna be hurt all
the time. He's worth it's out, He's worth it. He
also got to sign this Sasaki pitcher from Japan. He's cheap.
They got to get him. Then you got to get
another probably a third starter, geez, maybe Max free And
so what death of this is which just spend their
money not online?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
So all so.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah, hey, hold on, Bill, Bill, wait a second, because
you used an interesting word. There have they have to do?
They have to And by that I mean like, do
you cut them some slack? If it's like, hey man,
we spent three hundred and thirty million bucks on a
on a roster last year and we won a World Series,
So maybe we take it a little easy here and
we kind of figure it out for a year or so,
(21:24):
we get the Sazaki guy because he's cheap, and and
maybe it's not the Corbin Burns for three hundred million
bucks or Max Freed for two hundred Would you be
fine with that or do you feel like you've got
to keep putting pressure on them like they have to
do this?
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Well, then yeah, I probably should just say to have
Once you win a championship, you're in a year of
nobody say you have to do anything. But I think
that Dodger fans, if they want a chance at a repeat,
and they do you take us into the next level.
They need more starting pitching. But I don't think they
have to make a good point. They don't really have
to do anything except so I think you have to
(21:58):
keep keep this thing together, and I think Blake Trying
should come back. I get her a NH should come
back and welcome Blue. Blue should come back. I think
the oskar and should come back. They should try to
keep the team together. It was such a magical special chemistry.
I've never seen a team before. These cars are on
the field after game five, They're crying, They're hugging each other.
(22:18):
They're like a family. It was something I've never seen before.
They're so unselfish, the way they play for each other.
I don't think that's so rare in sports, so rare
in baseball. If you got that, I think I think
the one thing they have to do is try to
keep the team together. I think that's that's the hand
to if you don't go out and get a big creagent,
you know you're right money. I don't really care if
they keep the guys they got so important to keep
(22:40):
the guys they.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Got at Bill Plaski on Twitter, b I L L
P L A S C H K I I mean, ka.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
You fell for it, Bill, You took the bag. Yeah,
you took the bag. I saw it right here. No,
it's k E Sorry everybody, Bill.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
When's the last time done?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Martin's faulk You guys, Well, maybe never again.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, sadly maybe, uh yeah not hopefully soon we'll leave
it at that. Hopefully. Well we'll get a hug from
him very soon.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Now, Bill, it's very important for me to know whether
or not you're gonna go to the U s C
U c l A game on So, yeah, that's a
great I mean, it is rivalry week. Bill. Are you
gonna go and write about it? Oh?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Yeah, I can't miss the Crosstown. I gotta go. But
I'm gonna write about USC, probably more than U. S
LA because I'm just not that interested in Deshaun Foster
had a tough year. That's really Martin Jermond's problem. Yep,
it's it's his is his doing. It's not de Sean
Foster's fault. No, I don't know worry about USC because
(23:55):
he's he has got to win this game now. They're
not gonna You're not gonna fire. Look at our by
the way, was the happiest person the Dodgers won the
championship because he got the heat. The heat was the
pressure was off him, the attention was off him. But
it's back on him now and he's not going to
get fired this year. But he could be lamed up
next year. He needs to win this game, So no,
(24:15):
I'm going.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Are you guys going, Well, no, Ill, I got.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
That one thing at that place over there, so I can't.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
And I have to call a Mountain West game that's
very important. Air Force in Nevada is not going to
call itself, so I've got I'm very busy in my
own right, Bill, and I have my own work to do.
But let's say that you're down at USC trying to
write an article about how fire Lincoln Riley or whatever,
and the Dodgers signed Juan Soto. What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
He goes, everything goes, everything goes, everything, take second second,
back seats the Dodgers, the Dodgers. If on Saturday, the
Dodgers resigned Walker Guler before kickoff, I'm doing Dodgers, I'm.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Serious, all right?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Do you leave the game though?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
No, I mean once I'm there, although i'd fight traffic.
Apparently the game's not sold out.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Oh no, it's not even close. And it's so close
to your house.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Yeah, so good. It's it's ten minutes away. And I
don't don't have to gotta get on the two freeway.
I can just be bodcasted. The bandic corver ride and
you're right there side straight, but I would I would
stay right to calumf there, but I would write, I
would switch. It could be the fourth quarter target and
the Dodgers reached onto.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Hey because because you are the Yeah, you are our
heart beat here in Los Angeles, our sporting heart beat.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Bill Gods agree, absolute.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Absolutely, what are you talking?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
No pushback from us here? But have you ever had
like it? It truly flummoxes us that so few NBA
just NB a beat or like Lakers beat or NBA
national uh journalists will not step to Lebron. They will
not call this what it is. They are hesitant to
(26:06):
kind of dig too deep into the Bronnie James thing.
What has your experience been like with with Lebron? Are
you going to take this sort of bron He's not
traveling with the G League, Bronni is terrible and has
not played well in any game yet this season? Are
you going to take it on? And what are the
ramifications of taking on Lebron? Like why does he make
life so hard on everybody that they're afraid of him?
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Yeah? So I am going to take that on. I
just about that this week that's stunning. I mean, I'm
not I'm not going to trash a kick, but he's
no good. It's not his fault. He's just not even good.
But you can trash the Lakers for just for so
cow tired in Lebron that that they don't make his
son travel and learn life on the road in the
G League and learn how to play it back to
(26:50):
backs and travel and all that stuff they're really doing
and do have a bad disservice. And I think with
lit Lebron, he's so he is so big now, I mean,
he's a he's probably the most he's the most famous
athlete in the world. He probably is right messy.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah, yeah, I don't think he's got messy.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
International he's pretty close.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
He's so big you can just you can just sense
you or although outside I think the Laker beat writers
do a great job, and they do do their best,
and they bust their butts and they write great stuff.
But in general, the public just in general, you're around him,
it's like you're around royalty. I mean, he's just it's
just his ore is such that I think it's hard
(27:39):
for anybody who is not real close to him to
take a shot at him, and that's and that's not
right because he needs to. He's ruined this organization. He's
he's such a great player on the court, he's unbelievable,
and that's that's the one thing that pet people latch
onto as well. He's still the best players in the league.
He's from a hoarse age. But what he's done with
(28:03):
this Bronny thing is unconscionable.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
He doesn't have a bill. He doesn't have a greater
aura than Otani. Though I feel much different around though
Tani than I do Lebron.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
No.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
I don't know. I think o Toani is very embraceable,
you know. TONI would look at I asked him a
question and he'll look at me and smile and shake
his head like he knows what I'm asking. I mean,
he's so embraceable. Lebron's more on a yeah, he's more
on a feedest though. Lebron's more all like all no
(28:35):
and all boys Bory. He just he feels untouchable when
you're around him. He just does because because you know,
you're talking to history, You're talking to the best player
in history, the most famous athlete on the planet. I
think it's hard for people sometimes to take a discerning
is on that everybody's human.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
You're freaking Bill Plashki. Talk to him over the hell
you want? Yeah, that's what I say. I like when
Lebron crowns him self, but he puts on his own crown.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
That's the royalty part you're talking about, Bill, what's happening.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
We appreciate you guys because you guys are one of
the only ones in town who will speak out about it.
I think that's important.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
We don't care for everybody hates me.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
We don't care. We love you though. Bill, you're the
best of the best, Bill Plashki, the best best columnists
in the world. La Times. He's gonna be writing about Soto,
So check that out at the La Times. K E
k e At the end, Uh, he'll be at se Ucla.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
But who knows what's gonna happens. He wants to get
a word in here.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Me and my good friend Don Martin are gonna hang out.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Now.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I gotta all right, exactly right.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
See, you guys got a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Bill.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
There he goes. The great Bill plash apparently didn't get
the news we'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Hate, Matt, I didn't want to give it to him.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I got something for you, okay. I know you're very
interested in Alaska.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
I love Alaska, all right. I love Baked Alaska.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Got that too, and the tim K to alask if notcho.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
The best things ever Petro Some Money AM five seventy
LA Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio. Have come see
us tomorrow, Come see us Thursday. It feels like tomorrow.
The excitement is so palpable Torrance, it is, Man, I
want to be there tomorrow Thursday.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I wanted, I wanted, I want it.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Two to five pm. BJ's Restaurant in brew House, a
Petro Some Money Live appearance going into Thursday Night Football
at the Dolamo Fashion Center right there by Carson Street,
giving away tickets to Chargers Ravens, Monday Night Football, the
Horribowl at Sofi Stadium, and a host of other prizes.
Two to five pm this Thursday. We'd love to see
you in Torrance at the BJ's Restaurant brew House, all.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Right, Matt. We do have a couple of minor sports
stories that we need to uh sports stories or great
sports talk Alaska.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I thought it was the dull scene.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Matt, darkness imprisoning me.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Oh, I see absolutely.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
We might be bummed out because when we leave the
radio station here, it's dark and we feel cold.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
And alone, but no one can see my tears scene.
Is it so dark, so dark I can't see.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
And now nobody can drive because it's so dark out,
and uh, kind of a bummer. The whole daylight saving
thing this time of year, the holidays and the events
kind of pull you through. But the early darkness is
an early sadness. Now we might be bummed out with
the sun going down early around here or everywhere, but
consider Barrow, Alaska now also known by its indigenous name
(31:56):
of Hooky. Oh fuck.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
It's just a true crime follow up. It is just
like the city the true crime was based on. No,
you mean true detective Jody Foster and that other one.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
The indigenous women. Yes, and the boxer lady right who
had hard riding sets, very hard, and that that.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Move that's just steal in her face too, Matt.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yesterday in uk Eyouck the sunset and it will not
rise again until January twenty seven. So you remember that
when you're launch.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Yeah, no daylight two months.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
You remember that when you're riding home. Because the Super
Bowl right before it, and two days after the College
Football Playoff crowns a super Ulti Bowl champion. It is
going to be dark in uki fuck Aka Barrow, Alaska.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
It's terrible all the way up until then. I guess
they're used to it, though maybe it's all they've ever known,
sixty four days with no sun. They know the sun,
but for two months those sixty four days, like you mentioned,
no sun, like the last season of True Detective with
Jody FoST. So maybe it's not so bad. Here in
southern California, the sun comes up pretty early. Go on, Serve,
(33:17):
couldn't do it, No, you would, could not do it.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Then you wake up the dog can't.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Do it, so.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Little orphan and he cannot sing the sun will come
out tomorrow. No, in Ukiaga it will not. That whole
NBA Christmas Day thing is gonna happen without them in
the light. I mean they can watch it.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
I gain now January twenty first, you could sing the
sun will come out tomorrow, but not until.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
That's a whole medley. All right. Another story in Alaska
down to Anchorage. Matty stories or great sports talk.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
That world.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
That world. It's another dead whale, whale, a real dead whale.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Well, it is Alaska, Matt.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
This dwarfs the dead whales that we've seen here recently.
The size of a school bus. That's big whale near
down town Anchorage. It's a big whale, bigger than the
Torrents whale recently on Torrent's Beach, Bigger than the Huntington
Beach whale over there.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Polts of Chicos saw that one with my own two.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
This Anchorage dead whale, it's forty seven feet long. Hook Jesus,
the pictures are.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Stunning, five stories tall. Basic it is huge, as long
as that building across the street.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Quoted in Alaskan media Alaskan Public News, a woman named
Annalise Cumphrey and said this, I think it's kind of
funny that this is just like the vibe right now. Hey,
have you heard about the dead whale.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Well, if it's as tall as a five story building,
I'd like to think you have.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
We've always been your dead whale show, a record, not
even close. Now. They don't know what happened to this whale.
It's a fin whale, which is an endangered species.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
That's Unfortunately it's.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Never happened right there in the harbor in Anchorage. Based
on everybody's memory, they're not going to blow it up.
You sure, yeah, apparently it's tied up right now. But
when the tide rises up, they're gonna the tide's just
gonna carry it away. Okay, do you dream of a
cold Alaska? You better wrap up warm tonight. And we
(35:32):
all know who blew it up, right, Yes, our friends
in Florence organ the exploding whale November nineteen seventy fifty
four years ago. A bad idea. Good luck to the people.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
It wasn't a bad idea. The proud nacho eating or
does it live in perpetuity?
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Do you need me to play it?
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Mat You let the tide play. That whale out to sea,
and Florence, Oregon is now ever mentioned. Yet we have
every year we have an anniversary.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I had a chunk of the whale actually killed somebody,
it would be a lot different. It would be now,
you could take the stinkers out of your ears, all right,
just play it. It had to be set.
Speaker 6 (36:14):
The Oregon State Highway Division not only had a whale
of a problem on its hands, but it had a
stinky whale of a problem what to do with one
forty five foot eight ton whale dead on arrival on
the beach near Florence.
Speaker 8 (36:28):
It had been so long since a whale had washed
up in Lane County nobody could remember how to get
rid of one. In selecting its battle plan, the Highway
Division decided the carcass couldn't be buried because it might
soon be uncovered. It couldn't be cut up and then
buried because nobody wanted to cut it up, And it
couldn't be burned but dynamite. It was some twenty cases
or a half ton of it. The hope was that
(36:49):
the long dead Pacific grave whale would be almost disintegrated
by the blast, and that any small pieces still around
after the explosion would be taken care of by seagulls
and other scavengers. The seagulls had been standing nearby all
day as everything was being made ready. We asked George Thornton,
the highway engineer in charge of the project, for his
final observation.
Speaker 9 (37:09):
Well, I'm confident that it'll work. The only thing is
we're not sure just exactly how much explosives it'll take
to disintegrate this thing, So the scavenger, seagulls and crabs
and what knock can clean it up.
Speaker 8 (37:22):
Is there any chance it might be more than a
one day job if there's any large.
Speaker 9 (37:27):
Chunks left, and we may have to do some other
clean up, possibly set another charge.
Speaker 8 (37:34):
The dynamite was buried primarily on the leeward side of
the big mammal so as most of the remains would
be blown toward the sea. About seventy five bystanders, most
of them residents who had first found the whale to
be an object of curiosity before they tired of its smell,
were moved back a quarter of a mile away. The
sand dunes there were covered with spectators and land lubber newsmen,
shortly to become land blubber newsmen. With the blasted blubber
(37:58):
beyond all leavable bounds, our cameras stopped rolling immediately after
(38:31):
the blast. The humor of the entire situation suddenly gave
way to a run for survival as huge chunks of
whale blubber fell everywhere. Pieces of meat passed high over
our heads, while others were falling at our feet. The
dunes were rapidly evacuated as spectators escaped both the falling
debris and the overwhelming smell. A parked car over a
quarter of a mile from the blast sight was the
(38:51):
target of one large chunk. The passenger compartment literally smat
Fortunately no human was hit as badly as the car
over Everyone on this was covered with small particles of
dead whale. As for the success of the effort, well,
the seagulls who were supposed to clean things up were
nowhere in sight, either scared away by the explosion or
kept away by the smell. That didn't really matter. The
(39:13):
remaining chunks were of such a size that no respectable
seagull would attempt to tackle anyway. As darkness began to
set in, the highway crews were back on the beach
burying the remains, including a large piece of the carcass
which never left the blast sight. It might be concluded
that should a whale ever wash ashore on Lane County again,
those in charge will not only remember what to do,
(39:33):
they'll certainly remember what not to do again.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
They don't blow that whale up, We don't have that sound.
People driving home right now in the near dark are entertained.
So thank you, Florence Oregon for blowing the whale up
and hey, Anchorage, that was fifty four years ago.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
We're looking at you.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
It could use an update. Okay, we're looking at your kid.
It could use an update.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
We'll be back with a whole other hour, a great
sports talk Pettersen, Muddy Eat, sports Talk, quick kits and
fun fact coming up.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
