(00:54):
So many years have passed and gone and I just
can't see people take heed unto Prophecy.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Look on me you Spectrosen Money AM five to seventy
LA Sports live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and Historic
Day in the City of Los Angeles. With the sale
of the Lakers to the Guggenheim Group by the Bus Family,
we do have Dodger Baseball Dodgers owned by the Guggenheim Group.
As we are your Heart off Secons Champion Dodgers. Galpin
Motors Broadcast Booth has the first pitch at seven ten

(01:26):
pm with Dodgers on deck at six pm, and you
can listen to it on the iHeartRadio app if you're
in the Greater LA area, not near a TV, not
near a radio, but want to pick up where the
the beanball Fest left off last night? And why wouldn't
you am at She and making his debut on the
mound that'll start at sevent ten.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
And Irving Magic Johnson is just tweeting up a storm.
There's a new one. I just talked to my sister,
Jeanie Buss to tell her congratulations that I'm so happy
for her and family. I told her that her dad,
doctor Bus, would be very proud of her getting ten
billion dollars for the Laker, the largest sports franchise sale

(02:07):
in history. Who's gonna tell him, Matt.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
You know your dad to be so proud you sold
this thing for ten bill Isn't this?

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (02:19):
Isn't this supposed to be one of the most savvy
businessmen in the world, Magic Johnson.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
He is worth quite a sum and has built quite
the business portfolio for he.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Knows she didn't get ten billion dollars.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
No, she got the evaluation of ten bills, so whatever
percentage they opted to sell and maintain.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
It's fifteen percent, so they can continue to be the
face of the franchise and the governor.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
You're taking one point five bill out of that, and
then you got the whatever percent he already owned twenty
six percent, so that's two point six bill out of that.
You got Shin su Chun, who I believe owns somewhere around.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Changed changed his name to newspaper Jones.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, he's changed his name to stake up for sale.
Who wants it? Based on a ten billion dollar valuation,
So that's another two billion there. Yes, they the bus.
Each of these six bus children of doctor Jerry Buss
are incredibly wealthy today, I would say worth at least

(03:22):
I don't know, three to four hundred million dollar sties.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Now, people deeply connected with the Bus family that have
had roles for years that aren't getting paid a billion
dollars to go away or stick around, but not have
as much power. Clearly, Linda Rambas current Rambus Sesarito, Rob
Polenka and his special jackets and.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Sweatshirts, chas the bartender.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Chas the bartender. He felt this many years ago. They
got their head on a swivel. Right now they are
wondering who moved my cheese? They they are sweating it
out a little bit.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Right, Yeah, that's a great point. The gravy trainers, the sinecures.
Today is a dark day for that particular pocket of people.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Right, I mean, what am I gonna cut my cocaine? Yes?
On social media?

Speaker 2 (04:17):
You guys don't know the video that NFL player that
got cut and he tries to use his key card.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Yeah, I see a lot of that.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
It's a lot of live look and Kurt Ran miss else.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
It's the check outside of the mervins, you know, open open,
Oh terrible, terrible, Oh bad. This is actually we should
make this distinction. This comes on the texto. So this
says the Googenheim Group, not to be confused with the
Googly Eye group, which of course is run by Julius Randall.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
God terrible.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Man terrible?

Speaker 4 (04:58):
The Rambides and other upper management of the current Lakers ownership.
They'll get some bonuses from Genie terrible terrible. But then
it could be it could be Londale instead of Manhattan Beach.
That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Beautiful this time, it's.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Nothing wrong with sending the kids to losing her high
Lou Lou Lou Loo Loo losing. But it is a
historic day, Matt. What does it all mean? Cheer up,
sleepy Jean. We are yet to say. But I'd be
looking for an ask to kiss if I was John Ireland.
I mean, I'd be stretching my lips like like, you

(05:37):
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
I never thought about that. You think they could come
after the play by play guy, Huh.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
I don't know, Mac. You know, I thought everybody. I
thought everybody was safe in town until they got physioc
for the Angels right, and then I was like, oh
my god, I could happen anybody. They got the Wonder
Dog and Fizz.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Trudel.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Oh no, no, true, Dall's too valuable because he takes
up a very small child seat on the plane.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Come on, what.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
It's very very interesting, Matt, and we can only think
about it in the most immature turn. We I have
a little story, a little reprieve for you. Can we
handle a reprieve or do we need to stay? You
gotta do it. I mean it's four seventeen words, Gona,
so we'll do the word of the d.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
The word of the day.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Today's word of the day is mosh pit or slam dance,
the slam dance culture that Matt money Smith enjoys as
a young man and as a man. Uh. The Leicestershire
Police in England, Yeah, they yes, issued a pod of
dolphins an alert of the event last night. Uh that

(06:56):
the event last weekend excuse me at Donnington Park which
took place last Friday.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
There's a big event called the Download Festival out in
this one place. It's like a yearly thing like Beach Life,
but it's like a hard rock type of festival where
people slam dance. And when they slam dance, the phones automatically,
these modern devices and watches call nine. Out here it's

(07:23):
nine one one, And in Jamaica it's one one nine.
Not because they're fighting and they're like, oh, bloke, you
punched me, I'm calling the police, but because the phones
and all the hullabaloo, dial nine nine nine because they
thought you got in a car accident. Yeah, and then

(07:43):
a Bobby comes over to your flat and cautions you
on your melon. Now, apparently last year they got a
rise of seven hundred extra calls caused by the energetic
slam dancing. Police have blamed wearable mobile gadgets and wearable

(08:06):
technology that automatically calls emergency when somebody is in a
hardcore collision. From Matt Smith doing a cannonball into your
chest with bad brains.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Comes on, That's exactly what happens.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
So I guess if you slam dance, put your phone
or your.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Apple watch or my Apple choker.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Yeah at the bus or train station, or your Ray
bands with the Apple camera on them in the bus
or train station. Locker. Who played this fest? Matt?

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Who do we got sleep Token? Okay, Green Day? Uh
so hardcore Wheezer, oh so hardcore corn Yeah, Shine Down, Oh,
Shine Down, and a lot of other bands. That's a
lot of ass rocket, a lot of ass.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
Rocket, interesting vibe, a lot of nine nine to nine.
So hopefully they had a better chance at that. I
thought you'd like that.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Three of brainers there.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
First time I met Matt White, T shirt, suspenders, Docs, Ox,
rold up jeans, Ox blood Docs. We're walking around like
the bushwhackers.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
I'm straight edge, I'm straight edge skin.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Yeah, that's what he said on it. He had a
he had a tramp stamp tattoo, that's hit straight edge.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
It is time for the number of the day.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Here's my number.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Number of the day. Number the day is too. Can
we can we trade referees? Can we trade the NBA
referees with the w NBA referees, because the NBA referees
allow no physical contact whatsoever. You so much as look
at someone and kind of pretend like you're gonna shove them,
and they're immediately going to review for like, oh, is

(09:45):
that a flagrant one or a flagrant two?

Speaker 4 (09:46):
Oh? Are you referring to the gorgeous ladies of wrestling?

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Exactly right, I am referring to the contest last night.
And understand this. Did I watch Caitlin Clark v.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
J C.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Sheldon live in the moment, of course not, But I
watched the coverage after the face rake happened, and I
love a face rake. The great great maneuvers from Glow
and the gorgeously succeeded Glow.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
I watched, Uh, I watched all the highlights. You know,
they do a great job getting the highlights up on
youtubech days, and they do a great and I watched
the highlights and yeah, Clay, Caitlin Clark was draining threes
and you know, she really is remarkable.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Watch It's fun to watch those highlights.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
And uh but I was like, where's the rake? You know,
where's the where's the rake? They cut out all the
whole the slam dancing hullabaloo. Right, Well, they find it
on the internet.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Here's what we We found it on the internet because
the face rake was followed by an awkward chest bump
shove thingy, and then from the top rope this player
Marina Maybury.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Maybury, Yeah, the guard. She came with the double.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Forearms, double forearm, followed by a shaken of the finger
in the face like a no no no no no
no no no no no.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Now.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
I say this while saying I don't watch the WNBA.
I do watch the Women's NCAA tournament on a rare occasion,
like when it was Kaitlin Clark versus LSU. That might
have been the only time.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
Oh it's just Kaitlin Clark vergus South Carolina.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
So that was a good one too. So I'm clearly
not their targeted audience. But I'm gonna say I.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
Watched WWF, but only when Hulk Hogan.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Is only oh yeah, when the mud sho main was
getting into that square circle. But I can't imagine that
the WNBA fans are comfortable with the ass kicking, with
the face raking, with the shoving and the fighting. And

(11:42):
let me before we play the audio. And I don't
know Sophie Cunningham nor j C. Sheldon, I'm just saying
their names.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Sophie is from Miszoo. She's beautiful girl, and she's been
brought in as an enforcer, okay to it, to protect
Caitlin Clark.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
I do know that Jason is from Ohio State and
she and Caitlin had a past while they were playing
in the Big Ten.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
They didn't date, but they have a pass.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
They have a past of violence, a history of violence.
Vigo Mortenson, Oh, Elliott Gould was no, No, that was that.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
That was American history X my bet.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
The sequence that led to this fight was hilarious. It's
the final eighty seconds. Fever are blowing out the Connecticut's Sun.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
The son of the worst team in the league turn
it over.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
On a horrible pass that went to nobody. A two
on one fast break ensues. Fever player gets her shot blocked,
but the Fever still have it. Fever point guard bounces
the ball off her foot, but it hits a Sun player,
so they still have the ball out of bounds. They
inbound Fever player tries to pull up to shoot it,

(12:47):
slips out of her hands, tries to get control of it,
loses it again to a Sun player, and that Sheldon last,
and here she comes on the fast break down seventeen
with fifty sevenconds left nights.

Speaker 5 (13:01):
In the second half.

Speaker 6 (13:02):
First quarter was just one point game where you look
at it and say, we got to get right back.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Into game focus for tomorrow night.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
It's been the biggest issue for Connecticut.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Just forty minutes of basketball.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Hard five. Oh boy, Sheldon and Cunningham are getting into it.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Oh, these two teams do not like each other. It's
clear Sheldon business. The physicality in this.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Game gets her hair pulled. Chunningham puts her in a headlock.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
Yeah. She uh looked like she grabbed the back of
her head to give her the knee of the face.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, you know, she like grabbed the ponytail like I'm
exactly right, Pete, the old need of the face. And
it was a true melee, the flying knee.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
These officials had their work.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
I mean it was a headlock of headlocks on that
big ass ponytail.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
What didn't even work today.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Not saying that fans don't want us see the fight,
I just don't feel like they do. It's kind of
awkward when they start fighting and getting into it. So
if we can just take the w NBA refs, but
who allow this s to happen seemingly all the time,
especially when Caitlyn Clark.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
Is like, yeah, that's the problem. They don't seem to
be able to protect Like Caitlin Clark got face raked
and then pushed and then pushed.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Down like legit facer.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
And they called a flaglant foul on her on her
after twenty.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Minutes, Yeah, she got double four under the chest and
a fake fingerwag.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
They're total idiots, Like they can't protect their best player,
the reason the only person anybody's watching. They can't protect her,
and so if they can't protect her, they beat the
hell out of her. Here comes Sophie Cunningham from a
zoo to come and say, f you you sorely to Wayne,
that's what that And and I applaud the fever for
for having a muscle. Yeah, bringing some muscles in a goon,

(14:54):
just like Magic and Lawn are coming to clean house
and going out in the Laker.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Front taking Sophie shoot, she shoots a higher percentage in
angel rees.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
Okay, well who doesn't.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
But hey, can we get some of these WNBA reps
into the NBA and let these guys fight a little
bit more.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
I mean, I know they they don't want to be
accused of giving her preferential treatment, but what's happened to
the opposite is a face. It's worse. You know, they're
scared that the I mean, it's it's I mean, I'm
not trying to say anything controversial, but I mean it's
clear that the rest of the women in the league
hate hate me. They hate and they don't have any.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Good reason to They hate their golden ticket. It makes
no sense. You know, you saw the ratings went down
eighty percent when she was out for the week, right,
you know, it's not like you.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
Live in Calabasas and like a young Bieber moves in.
I mean, this is good for everybody. This water raises
all boats, yes, but but not. I mean, it's just
clear they hate her, and I I being in certain
situations in my life in sports, I suppose I can
understand why I or I kind of get it, but

(15:57):
it's clear that they hate her and that they're out
to get her, and the league's too scared that they're
going They're afraid of them what they might do if
they protect her more protect her. It's like when I
take my daughter somewhere, it's like, I'm scared of what
she might do, so I give her what she wants,
and what these ladies want she might publicly embarrass me

(16:18):
is to face rate Caitlyn Clark right as much as
they can. Kate's lovingess. By the way, he is running
the YouTube highlight frame by frame to watch Cunningham grab
the back of that pony. Do you know what they
call the white There's three white chicks on the fever,
Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham and Hull. I think is the

(16:38):
other one's name, like Whitey white Steam. They're called trace
La Chase. Oh yeah, tray La Chase. Yeah. They are
called trace La Chase in the social media world. The
three whites, the three milks, three milks, yes, the three
milky whites.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
It was fun to watch the highlight. I will say
that I did enjoy it. But I don't know if
that's the the brand of basketball that the w NBA
is interested in putting out there. It's a league full
of thugs, the women's basketball, the Women's National Basketball Association.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
I got to say, you know, I mean, not to
even take it a step further, but in my experience
at the college football level, you know, being in a
different time when we were much more amalgamus as athletes.
You know, we were in the gym or the weight
room with the women's basketball team sometimes. You know, now

(17:33):
USC football has its own private weight I mean, but
in my time, to share the weight, different sports, you know,
would be around and stuff, and we were around the
athletes a lot more. I mean, they were in Heritage Hall,
we didn't have our own building and all that. And
I could say, without question, the most volatile team of
people that hate egach other the most, the most likely

(17:54):
to go into a hair pulling fracas was our women's
basketball team, the women of Troup interesting, without without without question,
and second place would be the men's volleyball team. They
weren't actually bigger bitches than the women's roddy.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
This is the song of the day.

Speaker 7 (18:18):
The burden that b are responsible for today's song of
the Day called What's in the Middle, because the Petros
and Money Show is in the middle of a three
hour edition of Great Sports Talk, moving through the meaty
portion of the week as we get closer to Dodger
Baseball in the middle of a spirited four game series
with the San Diego Padres at the stadium that continues

(18:40):
this evening with Tim Kates leading it off with your
Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck show that's coming up at
six o'clock.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Thank you, Ronnie, going till six, as you said, Dodgers Padres.
At seven, the Lakers Bus family has sold their share
of ownership to the Guggenheim Group, the ownership group of
the Dodgers. It's been a wild day. You still have
David Bass to join us, who has been an employee

(19:11):
of Mark Walters now for over a decade. They'll weigh
in on it all as we get you to Dodgers
on decade six. Oh, we got to give away with
these soccer tickets too, We'll do that in the next second.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
How about I don't know, I don't want to what, well.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
What are we gonna do? You give them away?

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Push your back way back all the way back.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
Push your back way back.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with

Speaker 1 (19:48):

LA Sports podcast a preset on the iHeartRadio app using
Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road Trip all summer with LA.

Speaker 2 (19:59):

LA sports dot com has all the information you can

World Cup at FIFA dot com slash tickets. But right now,
let's give away apair to the Madrid versus Potafogo match

(20:20):
at the Rose Bowl on Monday eight six six two
five seventy. Caller ten.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
All right, uh yesterday uh, before the Lakers were sold
to the Guggenheim Group, which owns the Dodgers, and we
are your Dodger station. Gougenheim Groups owned parts of this station,
so kind of interesting. But yesterday, in the top story
of the day, Matt money Smith uttered some prophecies like

(20:48):
Isaiah the profit of Old. Matt said there was going
to be more hits Batsman, and Matt said with the
Dodgers and the Dad that there was going to be
more fire and he said that Pies was hot, and
they hit Pies because he's good and Conforno is coming

(21:10):
up next and he sucks. Uh, that's not why Dylan
Sees threw at him last night. That's what Matt said.
You know, it's because he was jealous. Yeah, because it
was a stake. Yeah, Matt made a whole prophecy thing.
And uh, I was watching an unfold. Well here's Matt here.
We have a little flashback.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
A shilt. If Pies wants to be pissed, if he
wants to stare at Dylan Seas for a few seconds, yeah,
that's fine.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
But he is staring at Dylan ceases. You're attacking Shilt
for the double standard of exactly right. The ball hitting
guys are running in high and tight. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Running his mouth at Pie is saying, who the f
do you think you are? Shut your face. Yesterday we
had all the fireworks. Let's get a little something to
carry over to today instead of a left.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
That's what happened. It unfolds. Did the dad start throwing
and they throw it at Joey Altani. They take two
shots at Otani and miss. Can't throw it at the
King and miss and then they hit him in the
leg and Sue who has a big photo, And all
I could think about was Matt like the Sephardic Jew

(22:22):
that he is wearing a long bearded look with a
robe and high on an ancient peak.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
That's what USU's becky Jews do.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
Yeah, and uh, I mean, I just I wish I
could paddle away from you like that. Serve the great
nineteen ninety Black Huru song is really all I could
think about with Don Carlos at the Helm, which was
take heat under prophecy, Let's enjoy it with the various

(22:53):
prophecies that were uttered and some of the highlights from
the game.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
Do we have it?

Speaker 8 (23:04):
He is really ticked off right now.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
Oh and we're animated.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Oh it's Trip Gibson.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
Yeah, Well, Frank Gibson.

Speaker 8 (23:10):
The third base umpire, came into conversation that Dave Roberts
was having with Marvin Hudson, who's the crew see from
the second base umpire.

Speaker 6 (23:17):
Drip Gibson has acted like a clown all year with
the dogs. Oh my god, no, arms crossed. Dave is
trying to get in his face, being separated by Marvin Hudson.
Do you know evil is drifting over now. Hudson is
trying to calm Doc down. We have not seen Dave
Roberts this hot in a long time, not at all.
And for Gibson appeared and we're only we're not down there,

(23:38):
we don't hear it. And Roberts is still angry and
key for Gibson to come in and they give his
two cents. Well, Roberts is talking to the crew chief.
That's why I said, folks, the price of poker just
went up between the Dodgers and Punkers.

Speaker 9 (23:52):
We ended up hitting a player Tatis unintentional, of course,
and that spot we don't want a guy on base,
certainly him bleeding into their you know, their their guys
in no party order. And and then at that point
in time, Showhy comes up with the base open, and

(24:14):
Vasquez took one shot at him and and then hit
him again. And it's very hard to miss that bad
with the right handed pitchers. So for me, it's, you know,
if there's if you're going to do it own it
and there's no misfire, right and then I just felt

(24:34):
that I didn't feel a warning on both sides was warranted.

Speaker 6 (24:40):
There's all kinds of confusion on the field. Will Smith
is talking with Ryan blaken the whole play umpire and
now the crew chief Marvin Hobson with Tatis, who's heading
back to second.

Speaker 8 (24:51):
What an effort by Tommy Edmunds to dive and knock
the ball down and to tease and no idea what
he's doing.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Are they giving him second base? No one called time out.

Speaker 6 (25:04):
Oh my God, use the microphone. For the love of
all that is holy, how many times do we have
to ask for this? Danny Lahman's coming to the mound.
He's making a pitching change for now. No, Tatisi's still
on second. The crew chief Marvin Hudson's signaled he was out.
Nobody knows what's going on, and nobody on the umpiring

(25:26):
crew wants to explain it.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
Yet again, prophecy is fulfillment. It's prophecy from Matt Smith.
Not only was there a hit batsman battle, but also
CONFORDO sucks BA has this great.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Oh four for four. You know who the f he is? Now,
don't you shield that?

Speaker 4 (25:54):
I heard that? Steven Nelson had hit a cryo chamber
after that to cool himself off. He was hot.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Called it up a clown.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
You're a clown, You're a Paassle. Take heat under prophecy.
The Dodgers now on the Lakers. Wrap your head around
that David Vasse next.

Speaker 3 (26:32):

Speaker 2 (26:57):

increase in revenue in their first two years earned more
go to service titan dot com Individual results. Mayberry.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
It's David Vasse, the Dodger with an inside look at
the Dodgers. This is the vass Report with David Vasse.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
We were there when Mark Walter bought the Dodgers together
in Arizona. We are here together on the air when
Mark Walter buys the Lakers in La Dave. This caught
everybody off guard. It had to be a bit of
a surprise to you.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
A bit of a surprise, yeah, Petros. But remember back
in twenty twenty one when Mark Walter bought the Philip N.
Shoot steak in the Lakers. It also came with the
clause that he agreed to with Cherry Buss when they
made that agreement about Mark Walter getting first ride of
refusal to buy the majority of the Lakers when and

(27:58):
if the Bus family ever decided to sell the team.
So to me, it was only a matter of time
until this happened. But obviously when it comes out of nowhere,
it certainly takes you by surprise. And ten billion dollars
is certainly a big tag for it. But yeah, no,
this was something I anticipated happening in the next ten years.

(28:20):
It just happened today.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Nobody on LA Radio more qualified to share what it's
like working for Mark Walter, for his ownership group and
how you interpret their ownership with success, Dave, What can
you share with the people about what type of owner
he is, that his partners are, and what Laker fans
should expect.

Speaker 5 (28:40):
Well, first and foremost, he cares about winning and understands
winning just enhances the brand and enhances the business and
the profits. You've seen that with the Dodgers ever since
he bought them in twenty twelve. He doesn't care about
luxury tax, he doesn't care about any of those type
of so called restrictions. He's going to go out and

(29:01):
get the best players because he knows if you invest
in the team and the players and the on field product,
like Jerry Buss understood, you're going to get back your
returns and then some. So this is a guy that
understands that, you know, you can't try to cut corners
and try to go on a shoestring budget to try

(29:22):
to win. He understands la as a city of stars.
He is going to get stars for the Lakers at
any cost and nothing's going to stop him. So he
cares about winning and understands that if you win, they
will show up and that will mean a great deal
for his portfolio.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Do you see I mean, obviously they're different sports, but
do you see a similar kind of agenda like when
he took over the Dodgers happening with the Lakers and
a lot of changes being made.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
Well, that's a great question. I don't know the dynamics
with the Lakers right now. I don't know how he
feels about the infant structure, but the one thing's for
certain is he did put an infrastructure in place here
with the Dodgers pretty quickly, and a guy that implemented
that was the team president, Stan Kasten, who also has

(30:13):
a great background in all sports, all professional sports. So
I don't know what his plans are, but Mark Walter
is not a guy that's going to micromanage. He's going
to hire the people that he puts in place to
handle things for him, and he obviously has found really
qualified people with the Dodgers, So I'm not saying that.
You know, even though he may not be at every game,

(30:35):
trust me, he is very much involved in big decisions.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Dave, you are a big Laker fan. You saw, you know,
it looked Crypto dot Com Arena is not Dodger Stadium,
an iconic landmark in the greater world of sports. So
just kind of the upgrades, the amount of money he
pumped into Dodger Stadium. And as someone who's you know,
been going to Staple Center for the last twenty five years,

(31:00):
what do you think kind of like, how does he
view that, because it certainly feels like a pretty outdated
arena to me.

Speaker 5 (31:06):
Right, But does he own Staple Center, because I thought
it was the nd Shoots group that owns Staple Center.
When he bought the Dodgers. He owns Dodgers Stadium, So
I don't know how much influence he actually has over
Staple Center per se, but certainly he can be a
partner in any upgrades they want to make, and I
don't think he would be opposed to that. But it's

(31:26):
a different situation because the Lakers were always a tenant
at Staple Center.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Couldn't afford their own stadium, but now they can.

Speaker 5 (31:33):
Yeah, well Bomber built his own stadium, And yeah, the
an Shoots AEG group always owned Staple Center. They were
the ones that owned it, and the Lakers were partners
with them to a certain extent, but Jacktown not owned
the way that he owned the Forum.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Downtown is thriving, though, you know, I mean, that's where
do you want to be.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
The Lakers can't go watchhouse.

Speaker 5 (31:54):
I mean you can't find that in any other city
outside of an arena.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
It's not like there's like three of and in like
skyscrapers right next to Staples.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Hey, there's beautiful art on those Okay.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
They're covering it up by the yardhouse or people are
there were riots and people are like, look at all
this graffiti. It's like, dude, if you look down the
street for the last eight years, you idiots. Anyway, Dave,
we talked about it yesterday. We've talked. It was really exciting,
even without Otani on the mound because the Dodgers and
the Potters started throwing at each other. So that will

(32:25):
that continue tonight?

Speaker 3 (32:27):
And how did that?

Speaker 4 (32:28):
How did that bubble over in such a way.

Speaker 5 (32:30):
Well, you go back to last week and Mike Shild
actually outlined this after the game. Uh, the Padres remembered
that lou Trevino hit Fernando Tatist Junior last Tuesday in
that bullpen game, and then last night hit him between
the numbers. I mean, Luke Trevino. He may not be
uh Tanner Scott, but I haven't seen him hit a

(32:51):
player like that between the numbers all year long. So
you just wonder if he took things into his own
hands after they hit Andy pa Has last night. And
then Mike Schild said, you know what, We're not going
to stand for this. You can't just hit Tatis twice
in a week and be the same guy that does it.
So we're gonna hit your best guy. And the big

(33:12):
thing that in baseball, the unwritten rule is you get
one shot. And Randy Vasquez took two shots at Otani
last night because he missed and he was trying to
hit him on the first pitch and then hit him
on the second one. So that's what upset the Dodgers
and Dave Roberts. And you know, I wouldn't be surprised
before the game tonight, knowing the history of these two

(33:34):
teams the last few years and what's taken place already
in the first five games, that the umpires issue warnings
before tonight's game just to try to control things.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
Great stuff from David Vasse back to the radio tonight
with Dodger Talk and Dodger Clubhouse. Who's on the pregame show,
Mark Walter?

Speaker 1 (33:53):
You never know?

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Oh yeah, Trevino, you put it right between the numbers man,
right there between the blades.

Speaker 4 (34:09):
Don't don't don't write pegging into the internet. And you
know it's not gonna love. Trevino's not gonna come out,
all right, David say, everybody will be right back with
more reaction.
