tried that, and I think our illegal parking are jaywalking. Yeah,
has has put Burbank to bed. But Critos is one
of our favorite spots and we always get a great turnout.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
It's one of the most popular bjs in southern California,
that particular bjs.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
For whatever reason, I don't know if Frank is still
I would assume he's still in the city council. I
would imagine unsolicited Frank will show up and we'll get
our local politics out there on Monday. What's going on
with these stop lights? Yeah, what's happening with the potholes?
How many new Filipino DJ troops have developed right in
the last year exactly, we haven't been here all of
those things, all of those questions about Sorito's along with
(03:17):
us getting.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
A pin, a magnet, a pen. Hey, I still love
those Coast to Mesa socks that the Coast to Mesa
mayor gave us. They are nice. Those are nice, yea.
And the T shirt was nice too. How about the
water bottle? Stay hydrated? Pretty good?
Speaker 1 (03:29):

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Nice swag bag from Coast to Mesa.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Hey you hear that, Frank, We got a nice swag

Speaker 4 (03:37):
As much as we like your coin and your pin.
There's a real We got socks from Coast to Mesa.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Step it up.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Come on, man, all right, that's Monday.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
It is time for the flip Top story of the day.
I'll flip you out. I will flip you out. This
is the flip top story of the day. Now, Matt,
we'll talk to John Paul Morosi next, and we'll talk
about Dodgers' greatest team of all time, Greatest World Series
of all time, Greatest Game seven of all time, greatest
thing ever. You know, mand the Dodgers rack baseball with
(04:10):
their fist? What happened out there? What about the hot stove?
So we'll get but as hard as it is to
say goodbye to what was a very exciting Dodger season.
It's time to clean up the streets and all the
rappers on the sidewalks and Yoshinobu Yamamoto out to Grand
Avenue to clean everything up and the bottles and cans
(04:31):
and clap your hands where it's that right, and move
on with our world of great sports talk. It's not
easy great sports talk, but we've got to do. We
can have gratitude for the great and entertaining ride that
the Dodgers have provided us locally and all the great
(04:52):
access to the players and front office people and Dave Roberts.
It's been a real windfall for everybody involved. And we
don't take that for granted, not here on Anti seventy
LA Sports. I will take credit great sports talk, but
we will not take it for granted. If they win
three in a row, we might actually start taking it
(05:14):
for granted.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
I mean we do without taking too much of the credit.
But we do show up on the field. The players
are we are in their presence. They do feel the
aura that we exude, especially in the postseason. Whatever that does, yeah,
you know, that does something. Is it positive or negative?
I don't know, but it does something and it is hot.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
But before the actual hot stove for us gets to percolate,
we still have the world of great sports talk, great
sports talk to attend to. We still have to mind
our chores and get ready for the long winter. We
got a chop wood matt. We've got to get our
hogs in order, and we've got to can our vegetables
(05:55):
I love. We got to carry our water. We've got
to work to still and at our moonshine and corn
liquor ready to go for the winter. We got many
dishes to wash and lots of time to fill, especially
in the next couple of weeks before the Clippers hit
the road, because everybody loves that afternoon drive Clipper game.
What's better?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Me?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Me, me, me?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Do you mean to tell me I got Clippers Hawks
at four o'clock?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
You, Well, you can always just go to the iHeartRadio
app and podcast the hour or two that we have
done there before the Clipper good. So expect us to
get more and more back in that mode as a show.
Now here's the story UCLA. Our friend Don McLean on
the call last night, had their first hoops game and
(06:42):
they beat up on Eastern Washington. That would be the Eagles.
I don't think their Their basketball floor up in uh
right red outside of Spokane is bright red like the
like the football field, but.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Probably uh they have to play with a white ball,
like you. Probably couldn't play with a sort of orangish
leather ball on a red floor, could you.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I don't think so. Probably more traditional. Yeah, I'll look
it up right when we're done here. They beat the
Eagles only eighty to seventy four. UCLA was outscored by
one half by one point in the second half. And
our hero Mix Cronin's team is ranked twelve. And it
was a mistake laden game. They were a mess on defense.
(07:25):
They played down to the Big Sky competition, and they
went up fifteen in the second half. Maybe they relaxed
daily didn't play. They did hang on to win. Whatever. Right,
the new Mexico transfer Donovan Dent, he's good. He was
great twenty one points, nine assists, four boards, and he
(07:46):
will be fun to watch as the year goes on.
But this is the story, Matt I thought this was
was pretty great. That's local, But here is a funny
story when it comes to college hoops. Last night Boise
State matt one of the better teams in the Mountain
West picked to be competitive to win the Mountain West Conference,
(08:06):
the Broncos playing a nice stadium there right by the
football complex as you've seen, beautiful campus. Boise State played
Division two Hawaii Pacific. The Sharks a private school with
five thousand students located in a strip mall in the
(08:28):
Honolulu Harbor, the Aloha Tower Marketplace, which they revitalized and
made their permanent campus ten years ago in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
So it's a strip mall that they converted into a university.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
It's a strip mall.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Like, it's not like there's a VHS rental joint next
to classes.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Well, there is retail and there's restaurants there are, but
they do not have a VHS rental map. Okay, I mean,
I know it's Island Island, but come off.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
I just you said five thousand students, I'm like, okay,
and an athletics program.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
The strip mall is just blocks from the State Cap
Pioneer Square, as you know Honolulu quite well. The Sharks
with their mascot Sharky the Shark, are located at Pier
six and eight of the Honolulu Harbor, amongst yes, public
retail and restaurants, public retail. They went all the way
(09:26):
to Boise and beat them by one point. Now, it's
not that odd to see a D two team win
one of these crazy games. Early seen it, But a
D two team from a strip mall that is odd.
Seventy nine to seventy eight was the score. Boise won
twenty six games last year and got beat by a
(09:47):
team that has eight rows of seats in their gym
back in Honolulu, which used to be Saint Francis School.
Now it's hpu's gym. They've pink slips. They've had that
for six years. The gym, as I checked out today
(10:08):
on some Hawaii news sites, has one of the biggest
ceiling fans that I've ever seen. Oh, big ass fans. Correct.
Before they moved into the Saint Francis facility Hawaii Pacific University,
the Sharks were vagabonds, going from gym to gym and
weight room to weight room all around the city of Honolulu.
(10:29):
I did some research and in retrospect, I probably should
have gone to this college. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I can't tell you what gym you're going to be
playing in, but we do offer you at program. I
don't know where we're going to practice, but we'll figure
it out.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
The College Hoops is underway, Matt, and last night was
the launching pad for many many teams.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
You piqued my interest with the Hawaii Pacific University, so
obviously I had to Google to put my eyes because
I think when you say strip Mall, we have our
own vision.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
You know. But it looks exactly like a Honolulu strip Mall.
I mean, it's it's that's what it is. It's beautiful. Yeah,
it's right across the water, but yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
It's you know, there's a it's not like there's a
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
That wasn't always something like a mon Matt. That wasn't
always their location, right, They moved around a little bit,
but they took over the strip Mall about ten years
ago and they love it.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Got a line on a piece of property. Guys, if
we want to move to university, yeah, where that's strip mall?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Right? Now, I got biology at two o'clock. Before that,
I'm getting a foot massage and a pedicure. Pretty sweet.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Yeah, I mean, I mean honestly, all right on the water,
Like you said, it's on those that pier and it's
a couple of the cool looking, a couple.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Of politicians Tulci Gabbard and Sarah Palin went to school there,
uh huh, and a lot of Asian Americans Pacific Islanders
UCLA one and they play matts Alma Mater Pepperdine on
Friday night.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Oh ways, they're coming with a thump for him.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
USC beat another school Matts connected to cal Poly by
thirty last night. Unfortunate old friend Eric Musselman in year
two post BROWNI what's gonna happen? And next Sunday they
have Manhattan the beach, not the island. This Sunday, I
should say, no, the island, not.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
The beat right, Sorry, Manhattan I think has made an
NCAA tournament runner two in their past.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
So USC and Pepperdine Pepperdine for UCLA. Sorry in USC
with Manhattan a little bit of a step up from
who they've been playing, certainly in their second game and
Boise lost to Hawaii Pacific, which is a strip mall.
Basically Boise will be in the Bizarro pac twelve next year.
And they lost to a slack guitar style strip mall
(13:04):
in Honolulu.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
You guys forgot to mention who the head coach at
Eastern Washington is. Oh, that's our friend, Yeah, Dan Mounts
and Mountain Old Slobby p oh. So he gave Mick
cronin some fits last night and McK cronan was angry
and took it out on Josh Lewin allegedly. We don't
have the tape.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I'm talking to Tracy. So Tracy, that's what he said.
I'm talking. Did he say that I'm not talking to you?
That's what And we'll be back with more. Petro send money.
John Paul Morosi will actually put a button on the
baseball for the day. Coming up next from the MLB

Tim Kates and David vasse As. The city and the

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yes, Matt, and while everybody in LA has been celebrating,
most everybody else has been sitting around, which is why
it's time for the hot stove. He was doing a
hot stove this morning on the MLB Network, the MLB Network.
So good to us. A wonderful bridge that we have built,
(14:45):
and to prove it, a great Michigander, a fabulous Harvard man.
His alarm clock is hailed to the Victor's the song
we're playing right now. It is John Paul Morosi, Italian
America can Baseball Insider joining us to discuss what this
baseball season of off season will look like now that
(15:10):
the Dodgers have won another World Series? What's crack at JPM?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
How are you, Petros and Money? I am outstanding, my friends,
great to be with you. Congratulations to the Dodgers and
the city of Los Angeles and all the amazing fans
in California throughout the US that love the Dodgers. By
the way, Petros, I belatedly congratulations to your Trojans on
the way they dismantled Michigan at the Coliseum. They're thirty
(15:36):
one to thirteen last month, so I apologize for not
being more timely with my congratulations on that victory as well.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
World Series going on, I have to maybe one more
appearance fromm and hottone sleep on it.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, they might might have to be another appearance. I
thought you're going to talk about Nebraska USC doing okay
with a couple of Big ten heavyweight there. Maybe not
so much some others. But either way, what did you
believe you saw during the World Series? Jpam? You always
have a pretty good perspective. Was that the greatest World
Series you've ever seen? Are you surprised that it was
(16:15):
so wild?
Speaker 3 (16:17):
It was the greatest I've ever seen? Number one, I'll
start there, and it's because of the number of different
twists and turns, unlikely heroes and moments that if you
had given all of us who liked to think up
interesting plot twists in baseball games a full month in
(16:41):
a sound stage in Studio City to figure out what
we could do and how we could make the most
amazing World Series possible. We would not be able to
come up with something as dramatic as what just transpired,
from Kershaw's final pitch at Dodger Stadium to even fluky
things like Boba Shut getting picked off off after what
he thought was a walk to Pajs tackling Kik making
(17:04):
the catch the game six, ending the thoughts about the
base running with Kiner filefa Yamamoto having one of the
greatest postseasons ever in terms of what he did on
zero day's rest and just the absolute command that he has.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
On the mound.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
So it was iconic players having iconic performances. It was
unlikely players having amazing outings and in performances like Justin
Dean knowing the rule in center field and Miggey Rowe
becoming the hero. The Tails are legion at this point,
and I think, so I look at the World Series,
(17:41):
guys that from a historical standpoint through two different lenses.
Number One, how thrilling was it in the moment? How
unexpected was it in the moment that was a ten
out of ten on that score. And then I also
asked the question when people love the game, when the
three of us and fans that are watching that were
watching it, that when we're twenty five, thirty years on
(18:02):
and there's an anniversary that's shown about the World Series
of twenty twenty five, and how we all feel about
it in our older ages looking back, I always love
to say, Okay, tell me how many significant players and
or Hall of famers were figures in this particular World series.
So when you go back and look at a World
(18:22):
Series in the mid nineties, Braves and Yankees, and you
tell how many Hall of famers, Well, let's ask the
question now, how many Hall of famers in this one. Well,
on the Dodgers side, Kershaw, no doubt, Otani greatest player
of all time, perhaps, Mookie Locke hall of Famer, four
time World Series Champion. Now Freddie three time World Series champion,
He's a Hall of Famer. You know what, Will Smith
(18:45):
very likely will be a Hall of Famer one day.
Dave Roberts, the manager, is going to be a Hall
of Famer. Now he's a three time World Series champion
as a manager, in addition to being a World Series
Champion player. Then you take the opposite side of the equation,
Max Schurzer, Hall of Famer, Laddie probably a Hall of Famer,
a lot of other Blue Jays that you feel are
significant people in this era of the game, like a
(19:09):
Bobashett for example, And you go on down the list
and other performances from players like Kevin Gosman and the
Shane Bieber from Southern California who's the Signing Award winner
in the past. So you've got multiple time All Stars
all over the place in a way that when you
start counting the Hall of Famers on this World Series
years from now, you're going to be I think conservatively
(19:32):
six or seven and maybe eight depending on how certain
careers unfold. So that to me is a claim of
historical significance. Again, you compare it to the seventy five
World Series Big Red Machine plus Fisk plus Louis Tian.
You go down the list of historical players. This World series,
I believe Guys is going to rival some of the
(19:52):
greatest that we've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
You go back to last year JPM and you know,
after the Padres series, the dog pretty much and I
don't want to say Waltz, But it wasn't all that
hard against the Mets and the Yankees. This year the
exact opposite, where you know, even though they were tight
games against the Phillies, that's you know, four games they
went too in Philadelphia and they had no issues obviously
(20:15):
with the Brewers. Were the Blue Jays maybe the most
formidable opponent that they have faced in these last two postseasons?
Are they that much better than the Yankees were last year?
Was that the Dodgers struggled a little bit and guys
just kind of found slumps at the wrong time. What
was it that led to this team that looked like
a buzz saw through those first three rounds kind of
finding trouble in the World Series?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
The Jays I think were the best top to bottom
team that the Dodgers have played in these last two
postseason runs. I think the results bear that out. The
Jays scored more runs than the Dodgers did in this
World Series. They had a higher team ops, had a
higher team batting average. They realized that that we don't
decide championships based on total run scored in this sport.
(21:00):
It's not total goals in soccer. In a group stage
of a World Cup or something like that. But it's
that is illustrated of the fact that it was. If
the Jays had won, it would not have been a fluke,
and in fact it was interesting. We actually played this
sound on on m WILLB network this morning. I think
it was kind of lost in in the aftermath of
(21:22):
Game seven. There's a lot going on, obviously, but Josh
Schneider said, and I'm paraphrasing here, but he used the
word we had chances to sweep them, is what he said,
And obviously he's not He's not wrong. I mean, I mean, now,
if you want to say, of the first four games,
like a game three obviously was a complete toss up,
historic game. And if you look at the first five games,
(21:43):
let's say the only one the Dodgers really won decidedly
of the first five games was Game two, and and
even that game was pretty tight to where if if
Goslin makes more of his pitches, the Jays could easily
won that game as well. So again Josh Shanner made
a very bold comment and saying we had chances to
sleep them, but they had chances to sweep them if
(22:05):
you really look at the game by game and how
it all unfolded. That's actually a true statement. So it
was two very evenly matched teams for different reasons. I
think that maybe the Jays a little bit of a
shortcoming in terms of the way their bullpen was set up.
Obviously a lot of fixation on the Rojas homer, but
(22:26):
certainly you Savage had to give up a homer two.
And again, if you're really a locked in team in
terms of your bullpen, you probably have someone who's not
a rookie that had just started a couple of days
earlier having to pitch in that situation that you Savage did.
And then the ultimate, the ultimate trump card for the
Dodgers was Yamamoto. He's just and that is one case.
(22:49):
And this is one of those fascinating things where you
can kind of look at this World series and see
what you want to see. You could you could say
that some of the most important plays the Dodgers made
justin Dean's heads up playing the outfield, Keyk's throw, the
Pakes catch, the Migey Row home run. These were by
players that, if you add up their salaries for this year,
(23:10):
were not not a huge number. And yet the dude
who was the MVP was the guy that signed the
biggest contract for a pitcher in the history of the game. Okay,
And so there were parts where the Dodgers' ability to
do the small things were difference makers, and there were
also times where their ability to do the biggest things
(23:31):
like Otani's Game four of the NLCS Otani reaching base
nine times in the in game three, and then of
course with what Yamamoto did in six and seven that
is their financial Wherewithal having a massive impact and Freddie
and Mookie and all the rest the cast of thousands.
Of course, So I think that you saw, and I
think what I hope guys is the takeaway. There's plenty
(23:53):
of discussion, I'm sure on this channel others people that
have opinions. Okay, are the Dodgers good for baseball? They
unequivocally yes.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
They are.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
And what we're gonna happen the reasons why I see, Well,
I'm glad. I'm glad I answered Betty the question. Yeah,
we've been doing the show for years. Here's right. I
just I'm taking the reland throwing it over. I say,
unequivocally the answer is yes, because of a couple things.
It's not just getting Otani and Yamamoto and Freemen and
(24:24):
Bets and Snell and all the free agents. It's not
just that the Dodgers do the back of the house stuff,
the infrastructure, the scouting, the development, the thoughtfulness they bring
into their front office. They do all of those things
better than everybody else. They just do. And so I
see some ways in which the Jays have had to
(24:46):
bring their levels of back of the house things up
to what the Dodgers do. I see it seem like
the Giants trying to do the same thing. So it's
it's bringing up the levels where Yeah, I mean, the
Toronto Blue Jays already large market team, without a doubt,
But I find the whole thing humorous. That it's silly,
(25:07):
I believe for someone to say, well, the Dodgers have
won back to back championships, therefore the model is broken.
That's nonsense. If if Isaiah kind of love it gets
one foot of a better lead, the Blue Jays win
the World Series, and what the game is a little
bit less broken because he had what one better secondary
lead and one moment of slightly right it's right. So
(25:29):
I mean I find that that is that logic doesn't
really pull a whole lot of water for me.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I mean, just when the thing jp to jump in there,
like beyond the winning and is it unfair? It's just
the platform. I mean, Shoel Tani won multiple MVPs, was
pitching and hitting and nobody cared. And it was thirty
minutes south of Los Angeles and it was not an
event you'd have people go out, but it didn't stop
(25:57):
the world like it did. And for the Dodgers to
be able to him on that stage, to put a
twenty five year old now twenty seven Yamamoto on that
stage to look like Randy Johnson or Madison Bumgardner, like,
that's to me, it's just shortsighted to think baseball would
be better if you spread all these players out if
Otani stayed with the Angels and it was just Mookie
(26:17):
and Freddy in La if Yamamoto went to the Mets, Like,
to me, the fact that you have this stage for
all of these exceptional players is exceptional for baseball and
it brings more eyeballs to watch this one team play.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Right. And I'll make this point too that we have
lots of different ways of measuring viewership, and we could
probably talk about Okay, how much do Nielsen ratings really matter,
et cetera. I said this right after Game seven, and
I believe this in my heart that and there's plenty
of evidence, by the way, to back up what I'm
saying here that in terms of engagement, which is similar
(26:54):
to viewership but not exactly the same thing. But I'm
going to say engagement with the major league product, more
people around the world care about the Major League product
and consume the Major League product in whatever form it
is than ever before. Because people might say, well, look
at the TV ratings of the nineteen seventy five World Series. Yes,
(27:14):
I don't. There are three channels the entire country of right,
and the advotis to do thirty million, correct, exactly. I
don't think everybody in Japan was watching the Punch Fits
Come Run in nineteen seventy five. Okay, but guess what
Sunday morning in Japan? I can I can wager a
pretty strong amount that that a substantial number of people
(27:36):
in Japan were watching baseball, and you had the whole
country of Canada watching that series. You had so many
people in this country watching that series. So the way
in which people feel connected to the greatness of this
sport writ large and the Dodgers specifically has made this
sport and the Major League Baseball brand more popular. I
(27:59):
believe then it's ever been, because we just have a
greater and a more diverse number of people who care
about not just Baseball the sport, but Major League Baseball
and the Dodgers. And I'd say all the time, when
I visit LA doing games multiple times a year, I'm
at the hotel, I'm seeing fans coming from Korea, from Japan,
from Taiwan, all around the world to see this team play.
(28:21):
I think that's great for baseball.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
The Dodgers made about seven hundred and fifty million bucks
in twenty four and they spent about five hundred and
fifty million some people, And you can would love for
you to speak to this John Paul, Like if Kyle
Tucker comes here for three hundred million, Like, are other
teams going to spend their money? Because the Blue Jays
did and they ended up getting to the World Series.
(28:44):
The Mets did and it didn't get him anywhere. It
was a late season collapse. Like are we going to
see people get pissed off at the Dodgers again because
they're happy to reinvest in roster or are some of
these other teams and their owners going to finally start
spending money and coughing up all this cash they're making
like the Cubs.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Well there are there are certainly some teams that will
and some teams that won't, and I can't have the
crystal ball to know exactly which teams will. I do
believe the Mets will keep trying. I think that we
will see the Giants make a significant free agent signing
this winter. Whether it's Tucker that would be. I think
(29:24):
he would fit them quite nicely. Maybe it ends up
being a major free agent coming over from Japan. We're
likely to see three of them coming this time. Tatsu Emai,
who is a right handed pitcher, and then two significant bats.
It's probably the first time we've ever seen two major
bats coming over from Japan in the same in the
(29:44):
same offseason. Munataka Murakami from the Yakult Swallows in Tokyo,
sort of the smaller of the two teams in Tokyo,
and then the one the big team in Tokyo, the
Marry Giants their first basement and their basement. Kazuma O
Komodo is also coming over. So three, are they of
the same statue as Yamamoto right now? Probably not, But
(30:05):
Imai is probably on a level of what Senga was
when he came over. And then again, Okamoto and Murakami
are probably a notched down from what Adaki Matsui was,
but they're legitimate. They're gonna be good players in this league.
So I think that there's gonna be that fascination as well.
There's not. I mean, I'll say that there's not a
(30:25):
This is not the the off season of Kyle Tucker
in the way that last year was Soto and the
one before was Otani, the one before was Judge. Tucker
is a really good player, he's not, in my opinion,
at the level of those three. And so I think
we'll see if teams are going to be clever and
maybe you could find a way to sign a Pete
Alonzo plus one of the pitchers, maybe a Dylan Ceze,
(30:47):
maybe a Ranger Suarez, maybe a Tatsuo Imai, and it's
more of a diversification of your portfolio, if you will,
in a way that honestly worked very well for a
club like the Toronto Blue Jays that they they signed
up their own in Vladier mcgureo Junior, but they did
I think, a much better job of allocating their resources.
Hoffman obviously getting the home run, but he had a
(31:08):
pretty good year overall. Sures are a different different investments
they made with their position player group. So I think
we'll see more teams try to be like the Blue
Jays than try to be like the Dodgers, because the Dodgers, really,
as we've talked about in the course of the segment,
are really one of ones.
Speaker 2 (31:24):

We make it easy, hey, Pete, give Matt credit for
laying out the perfect scenario. Listen to three Things Thursday.
Last week. Matt's positive vibes got us to yesterday's Paraine. Okay,
sucking down at nine? Exactly what happened? You did? Say,
(34:03):
count On Paz, I think it was. It was the path.
The path is Pahz, Yeah, there is.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Unfortunately he took a path right over k It was
in that path, but he was still able to complete it.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Good morning, Pete. I was at Dodger Stadium yesterday and
there were almost none of our Asian American Pacific Island.
Their friends there yesterday was Padlos Susios. We weren't there
in the stadium. Kates was there. We don't know about
the demographics, but it could have been that. You know,
when the season was over, the Japanese tourists or the
(34:40):
tour groups maybe stopped for a little while.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
They may have just stopped at the top of the
World Dodgers Clubhouse store.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Yeah, that's usually what they do.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
Yeah, they stopped. The bus stops there, they get out,
they purchase an absolute crap ton of merchandise, and a
lot of times they just move on to the next
retail location.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
That's true, usually to the outlets right by Morongo Casino.
His last spots a cab. You know what was cool
about yesterday, Pee David Vass given Tim Kates his flowers
for all that hard work he put in all postseason,
a real MVP of Great Sports Talk, Great Sports Talk.
(35:20):
You did get your flowers, just like Sam Amot gave
the Lakers their flowers on our show for winning the
Bubble Championship. He gave Devass gave you your flowers.
Speaker 5 (35:29):
Well, there was a lot of flowers being given out
at the end of the show. Yesterday, we gave a
lot of thank you to everybody behind the scenes on
the broadcast.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Fresh flowers. Yeah, it was a lot of flowers given out.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
Your flowers and deservedly so. They ran out of flowers.
That's how many flowers are given out.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Fresh flowers, petros As we celebrate the ultimate Dodger victory,
I wish I think we would be remiss if we
didn't acknowledge the role petrosen money played in the championship.
The Panic Brothers panicked when panic was needed. You called
out the Tsatho flaccid bats. You got after their ass
when needed, while also washing their balls anytime you talk
(36:07):
to a member of the team going all in all
we love now it was a team effort that netted
a championship and another ring Kates won't get well done.
On another note, can you please let us all know
your BJ's remote schedule from now until spring training so
we can start making plans.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
Well, we only give them out one at a time,
and we did give out that one to Sritos on
Monday three to six thirty. Going into Clippers basketball just
mentioned it. That is the first of six between now
and what should we say Kate's the end of January.
It's kind of what we're looking at. So November, December, January,
we got six of these things, and this is our
(36:46):
first one. Ci Ritos right off of South Street at
the six o five.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
It's gonna be great, Matt.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
Speaking of retail, you know, you hit up the BJS
and then you make your way to the Sacks off
Fifth Avenue out let the Nordstrom Rack. I believe there's
a guitar center in there as well, and do a
lot of retail in there.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Yeah, there's a lot of good stuff. So that's a
great place right off the six oh five. Like you said,
Troy Aikman, looks more like Brian from Family Guy every day.
That one caught me off guard to I didn't see
that coming. Neither did I when I read the text.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
Oh my god, I was just thinking of this video.
He pops a you know, the top on his number
eight beer and he takes a ship on him. I
was like, what does he look like? Who does he
remind me of?
Speaker 2 (37:39):
What is this happen? Shits the dog from Family Guy.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
That's the best textows, So I've hurt in a long time.

Speaker 2 (38:14):

Day yesterday. There can be podcasts on the iHeartRadio app.
I don't say it often, but money is ripe and
I'm a Giants.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Fan, so I guess I appreciate that right.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
This one has a photo of, or like a meme
of a professor, because you are very professorial, even with
your stylishly long hair, and it says Matt enlightening the public,
Thank you. I always wanted to be a professor. Oh
this is in regards to downtown Nashville. Matt where you
just wear it says, downtown Nashville is a total embarrassment. Now,
(39:14):
it's absolutely pathetic. It might as well be a six
Flags amusement park.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
There is a little bit too much kid rock here.
Bon Jovi there as opposed to like the ones I
had mentioned, the Roberts and the Tootsies and that sort
of spots. They have kind of been overtaken by the Hey,
here's Jason al Deane's four story bar, as opposed to
you know what built the city of Nashville.
Speaker 5 (39:38):
Which was Morgan Wallen's place. Of course, again also an embarrassment.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Now that one's past, we'll be right back with more
petrols and money on am FI seventy LA Sports. We
have a whole other hour quick hits, dead in a
live guy Birthday of the Days, not.

Did you go to Jelly Rolls place? They had it
like free shots and those I've walked by it free
Jello shots.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
I walked by Jelly Rolls place, and I walked by
al Dean's, and I walked by Wallins, and I walked
by bon Jovi's. That person is absolutely right it is.
It's much like your lament about Hermosa beachp Very very
similar is what has happened in Nashville in the last
ten years.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Oh dare they It's criminal. We got another hour of
great sports talk AMPHI seventy Sports Talk. You're a home
of the Dodgers. I'll tell you what's great. Downtown LA
kicks Nashville right in the sack. And you're kidding about that.
