(03:27):
thousand oaks from the tsunami last night, he made it.

He is the host of Two Pros and a Cup
of Joe every morning on Fox Sports Radio, nationally syndicated.
(03:49):
Man also getting ready for a third season of the Challenge.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
On KNBC Really Good Show. It is.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Our dear friend, Darker than Dracula's Nutsack, our friend Jonas Knox.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Hello, Jonas, what a good time to be here. We're
dodging thousand foot waves.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
It's not been easy.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
We've got the meathead bull coming off tomorrow night. Like
how much chew do you think Dan Campbell and Jim
Harbor are going through it a game?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Oh well, like all the other foo look at I
appreciate two real foot Like I know you'd love to
talk NFL football, and I think it's really good that
you do. I hear your solo show on the weekends
where you get really down and dirty about the NFL. No, honestly,
I'm not even joking. Like I like listening to you
talk about the NFL. I think you have a really
(04:51):
good perspective on it. I am not as I mean,
it's obviously a very impressive league, but I guess I'm
just not as impressed with it as I was when
I was a kid and the tailback was more important
than the quarterback. But now I'm just digressing. I resent
the Lafleur McVeigh stay modern football coach model. I'm with you,
(05:19):
like the guy that looks like he's a CEO and
has more Travis Matthew in his closet than any of us.
You know, I just I resent that guy, you know,
the quarter zip. Yeah, I resent. I do. I really
do resent that that model of the modern coach. I
(05:42):
understand why it exists. I guess because the NFL has
become so corporate and such a moneymaker that these guys
have to have some kind of pr kind of vibe.
But I like football coaches that compare the beginning of
care up to the birth of Christ, like Jim Harbaugh.
(06:02):
I like coaches that say they're gonna gnaw your knee
caps off, and everybody laughs at him, and guess what
they do, They gnaw kneecaps. Detroit has become really great
under Campbell, better than I think anybody expected them to
be the downtrodden franchise that they've been for years and years.
I'd rather have the meathead Bowl than the freaking zoom
(06:24):
meeting douchebag latte bowl. Jonas.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I mean, look, you think bum Phillips could get a
job these days, No chance, No chance.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I mean I feel like with Campbell and Harba that
there is some you know, and then there's that goofball
idiot in Philadelphia. You know he's not exactly a pr.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Dream Oh yeah, Sirianni.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, he seems like a real idiot.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
By the way, why has Philly accumulated every Italian? Every
eye tie that has anything to do with the NFL
is all in Philadelphia now, Fangio, Sirianni. That guy Big
Dom like everybody who's Italians in Philly for some reason,
big security guy. Yes, a security guard.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I just and you know, I used to laugh when
I remember when Rob Ryan, former Fox Sports radio Alumbrack.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Now USC linebacker coach Ryan, other than Deanton Lynn, probably
it was Matt Antz, the linebacker coach who was the
head coach at North Dakota State and won a bunch
of titles. He's now the guy at Fresno. So Rob Ryan,
your boy is now the linebacker coach at USC.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
And he's claimed because he was in the NFL and
he was good for as a coordinator for a long time,
and he he claimed years ago that he couldn't get
an NFL job because of his appearance, and I thought,
there's no way. And then you start to see the
mcveigh's and these other guys come in, and I wonder,
to your point, maybe he's kind of right.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yeah, maybe maybe that was.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Part of it. They want the manicured beards, they want
they want him to look a certain way. Now the
entire NFL has changed and your coach has to look
a certain way.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
It's a more corporate model, even within your I mean,
the days of Chuck Knox and Chuck.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Noll on opposite coasts are over.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
But you know, it is interesting because and God rest
his soul, and a lot of people have really warm feelings,
including myself and my dad from Mike Leach absolutely love
Mike Leach and his history, But it was always really
funny to me that people would mention Mike Leach's name
for just any job that popped up. You remember that
(08:32):
time in sports where it was like UCLA was open.
Oh my god, they can get Leach. You know, Tennessee,
they can get Leach. And it's like, I'm thinking, do
these people even know who they're talking about? Like there's
a reason that Leach could only coach at the furthest
outposts of the Big Conference? And I'm not even joking.
(08:54):
Why is the furthest outpost of the PAC twelve or
ten Washington? It's Pullman. What is the furthest outpost of
the Big twelve? You can argue maybe, Ames, but it
really is Lubbock.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Right, Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
What is the furthest out outpost of the SEC? Stark Vegas, Starkville,
Mississippi State. That's the only place that Leech could exist
because he's gonna show up forty minutes late to an
alumni dinner when everybody's in a tux and he's going
to be in a polo that's all saggy, that looks
like he bought at a thrift store and he's gonna
(09:32):
smell like boh, and you can't. You can't pay that
guy Tennessee coaching money and expect him to show up
at all this stuff. Do you know what I'm saying? Like?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Do you do you remember this story when Craig James's
son complained of a headache at practice, he put him
in as he put him in a shed.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Craig James, I mean, he got his way and got
Leech fired from a job that he was enormously pop
doing in a place that he was enormously popular and
still is enormously popular. Craig James succeeded in getting Leech removed,
but I think it pretty much destroyed his entire career
(10:14):
and reputation. I mean, has anybody heard about Craig James
since then?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
No?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I mean have you talked about him? I haven't. No.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Like, the only thing I think about is I reminisced
when the Bears, you know, were mutilating the Patriots in
that Super Bowl. Craig James was on that Patriots team.
I love a white tailbag, and I mean, listen, who doesn't.
Other than that, I mean, I don't know where he
comes up in the conversation. Maybe Eric Dickerson will bring
him up from time to time.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Yeah, Dickerson is still around. And Craig James was very
prevalent on television for years and years and years and
after he went after Leech, who's a really popular guy. Anyway,
It is just kind of interesting about coaches and people
think you could just put one person anywhere and fit
in that culture. I mean, Lincoln Riley's a great example,
(11:03):
a Texas big twelve guy who's out here in southern
California and he can't surf. You know, he can't. You know,
he is not he is not navigating this place well.
And he's on one of the hottest seats in America.
And it stands to easy.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Each Man, Michael each was awesome. Like he did. He
broke down in an interview one time. How he's got
a pet sword. He had a pet sword next to
his bed, his night stand because he loved the show Viking,
so it made him want to get No, he got
an axe. It was an axe, and he loved the
show Viking, so he would get this. He got this axe,
and to calm himself down, he would pet the axe.
(11:40):
And I don't know, he was just like if it
was like a norm MacDonald. He was so far ahead
of everybody in the joke that nobody caught on to it.
But you could just listen to whatever he.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Is, like when you talk to him, like he looked
through you, like when you asked him questions, like you
know how I mean? And I feel like this the
older I get. It's like I would like for people
to think that I'm actually really there when they're talking
to me and I hear what they're saying, and I
don't oftentimes because we're also scattered and in our own minds,
(12:12):
and like I would say something to Leash and it
would like stop you, because he'd be looking at you
and wanting to hear what you said so intensely. And
you know, we're so used to people sort of just
dismissing us, and like I was just I was always
kind of taken aback in a weird way, in a
good way being around him and covering him. He was
(12:34):
the kind of guy that you'd be like, look, one
more drink, we got to go, and he'd order a
bottle of wine or so you know that. And yeah,
he was Mormon, but I don't think he's still indulged,
I guess, and he just a very interesting figure in
the history of college sports. But yes, a meathead bowl
(12:55):
for coaching, no doubt. What is the level of interest
in the Hall of Fame gamer here? Not sure? But
Matt Muddy Smith, Shannon Farren and the one and only
Daniel Jeremiah will be on that call tomorrow. Do they
have to do the pregame show too? Do they? Kate's
(13:15):
Do you know who does the pregame show for who?
For the Chargers? Oh it's Ilo, Isaac does it? And
then Shannon pops in from the field, DJ and Matt
check in from the booth.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
So yeah, pretty excitly. But by the way, did you
see they adjusted the criteria to get into the College
Football Hall of Fame? Oh?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yeah, yeah, four leak go see. And that's fair. I
mean his coaching trees crazy and problematic in many ways,
and USC kind of caught the pooh end of the
stick when it was really the last big air raid
higher was Lincoln Riley getting hired at USC. Like all
(13:57):
of those air raid guys have kind of gone know,
in a little bit of a way. They've either adapted
or changed a whole bunch or they've gone out of style.
You know, you got your guys like Kingsbury who were
in the NFL calling plays totally different animal and you
know the hash marks are where they are, but that
whole air raid thing went out of style the second USC,
(14:17):
you know, looking Riley for a billion dollars with a
four hundred billion dollar buyout, So things are going great.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Do you think Matt money Smith will drop a Lee
Hacksaw Hamilton like a sort of a no Lee.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I don't know. They don't think they get along. Were
they friendly kates?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I don't know. I don't I don't know if they're.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I think Matter has really divorced himself from whatever the
San Diego Chargers had going on. You know, it's a
new era touchdown Chargers.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
So Jonah, are you looking for like a four wide
of the formation touchdown?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I didn't know how many places. Lee Hacksaw Hamilton actually
was the play by play guy. And one thing that
was really shocking when we were looking at it up
the other day was and this just goes to show you,
like even somebody like me when I played football, I
was pretty media friendly. I mean a lot. That's why
I did this, ended up doing this for a living.
(15:15):
I didn't think it was gonna happen. But I did
a lot of interviews as a football player because I
was kind of an odd ball and a little different
and a ball carrier. And I didn't know. Lee Hacksaw
Hamilton was our play by play guy on the radio
when I was there, and Absolute I was like, Tim
Kats the other day was like, yeah, you know, he
was the SE play by Playuy. I was like, when
(15:36):
when was that guy? I'd never worked at SE, and
Kate's looked it up and it was like, exactly coincided
with my footballer the exactly the three years and I
played there, Lee Axaw Hamilton was our play by play guy.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I thought he was exclusive San Diego guy. I thought
it was no.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
He did the he did the well, he did San
Diego State, he did the Chargers, he did the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
For a while, he had hired for the Vikings and
then something happened. And what do you think happened?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Well, yeah, look at that big black booty. I don't
know who knows what he said.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I'm looking for a juicy lucy.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
But he had a more illustrious play by play career
than I remember him having and now look who does
afternoon drive for the last twenty years in La Matt
money Smith. Damn right, and he has a play by
play gig with the Chargers not and you know, and
he did used to kind of comb his hair forward
(16:41):
like hacksaw.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Wow the similarities, Am I wrong? Wow?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Do you remember that he used to when he used
to comb his hair forward?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Cake?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Well, when I first met Matt money Smith, when he
showed up here at the press conference to her news
Joe Grande and Matt money Smith, Matt money Smith had
a Professors of US History JC. Yeah, that was his
aura yet with a bag you know over his you know, shoulder.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Like professorial rock and roll Indie rock vibe right, like.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
He was going to go, you know, perform for the
Kings of Leon that night. But he teaches us history
one on one at Valley College.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Man, he morphed into golf Matt right. Yes, and now
we have surf Mat. So it's been it's been quite
a journey. Yeah. Well, he's like a cocoon. He comes,
goes in, he comes. He's a beautiful monarch butterfly.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
He's probably pissed he missed the tsunami, then if he's
a surfer now right. I thought about him last night.
I thought, this is Macinna like Hunkered Dad.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I thought what he would do is just like paddle
out real far so the so the tsunami doesn't affect him, right,
so it's just like a little bomb like us. Nothing.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I could totally see him doing that, like I have
the ability to paddle out. Were you able to drain
the water out of your place today? Jonas out in
the eight o five? You guys, ok there, yeah, we
got just devastated. What a scam. And then you know
my favorite part is you got like all the people
on the Weather Channel, and I love I'm a weather nerd.
So I was watching like live cams in Maui to
see what it was actually looking like. And you've got
(18:11):
these people showing these like sketches of what the wave
could look like if it swallows the coastline. And it
was just all garbage, just all of it was garbage.
But you know, they got to tell you.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I don't know if it's sensational. I mean, you know
they have to tell people we have our different you know,
our different colors. You know, a tsunami alert tsunami warning, tsunami.
They all mean something different, tsunami whispers in the dark.
You know, they're all they all have a different set
of protocol that comes with it. All I know is
(18:44):
like I was hanging on like a real thriller last night,
and I have to go to bed early on Tuesdays
because I have to get up really early to do
Jonas' show once a week. And I was very resentful
because like they kept saying, any moment now, yeah, haunt
this live camera and Honola Bay is gonna be under water,
(19:05):
and it was like any second, like all these Twitter guys,
any moment, now, look at the water receding. Here, it
comes here, it comes your sons a pitcher, and it
never showed up.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
The first wave is about thirty minutes out, yeah, and
then down everybody thirty this is real.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
And then thirty minutes later it was like nothing.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
And anyway, how about the fact that they like after
the first wave came to like, well, it's not necessarily
the first wave.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
This could be an hours, third wave hours.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
And then you had any helo. You had people that
were on excursions left behind by their seek, their their
cruise ship just left them and it does.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Really. It reminded me a little bit of the election,
you know, where they're like, yeah, this is gonna be
days and days. We're not gonna know. No one's gonna
that we we we may never know who won won
the presidency. That's how long it's gonna take us to
count these votes. And then like eleven thirty at nine
Pacific time. Uh uh they what It's like. I don't
(20:05):
trust anybody anymore with anything. I mean, I was on
like multiple webcams. I was on the Elks Shaka webcam
and Waikiki, Yeah, right underneath Diamond Head nothing.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I was even Chad. There was a couple of tropical
storms that were in the path, and I thought, oh
my god, oh yeah, kind of what kind of super
wave is this gonna come too?
Speaker 3 (20:26):
This has never happened before. There's a there's a major
hurricane in the middle of the ocean that's not affecting anybody,
and this little puckast tsunami wand that's so small and
in the middle of the ocean. There's gonna go right
b and like from that was gonna come like a
super El Nino, like spitting islag tits all over everybody.
(20:49):
Like what I mean, I gotta stop, I gotta stop
staying up at night.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Well, I read the first time I went to Hawaii,
it was I think it was twenty eighteen, there was
some there was a hurricane that is approaching the coast
guy and so like I turn on the weather channel
and they've got this guy, some dead end standing out
there holding the mic. He's on waiki Kei Beach. They've
got palm tree branches behind him, laying on the ground
(21:14):
and he's trying to hold himself up because the wind
is so strong. And literally, in the background, I swear
to God, in the background, you see a dad and
his kid grab a frisbee and start throwing it to
each other.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah, they're all a lot. They do. They do try
very hard to sensationalized thing. I mean, I think it
was I don't know how long ago it was. It
might have been five or six years ago in Hawaii
where somebody screwed up and hit like the button that
said that a nuclear missile was headed toward him.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Remember that, Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
And it's like it was like for eight hours everybody thought, yeah,
this is it. Nuclear winner coming straight to a poly
beach and they were like, oh, we're sorry that we
didn't mean to touch the butt. What some guy thought
it was a direct life stopped like I stopped trusting
you after you hit the nucle your button accidentally. Like
my god.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Anyway, I'm tired of the lies.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
And we didn't even talk about Gilbert Arenas and his
shady poker game with all the guys from like, uh,
what a sweet poker team and all the bad guys
in Delta Force. We'll be right back. A big thank
you to Jonas Knox for being here. A survivor, a
(22:24):
survivor he survived that that frisbee fight in Hawaii, survived
LaVar and Brady this morning. Yeah, they were wild. They
were wild. It was like riding a bucking bronco. When
I got on there, it was all dildo's and weaves.
It really was. I mean this time of year. I
(22:49):
used to do this job, like, hey, let's preview the
sc and UCLA college football teams. Now we got dildo's
on the court, Gilbert's poker game, fake tsunami. David Vassa
will join us live from Cincinnati next Anything going on
in Cincinnati outside of the baseball, stuft bangles, anything else,
(23:12):
not that I know.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or your
favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast, a preset on
the iHeartRadio using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Road trip all summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
What am I gonna do with this guy? Wednesday? It's
no tsunami safety precautions necessary in southern California. Wednesday. We
got Jonas Knox in and we're excited about that, except
for maybe for this segment. You know, I didn't know
if I texted Dave and it was like, hey, Dave,
(23:58):
don't be a d You know that that would make
him be that way, you know what I mean? Yeah,
I just didn't know. And you know, there's only one
of us, you know, that's in Cincinnati, you know, kind
of plowing through a long and arduous East Coast swing
of a road trip. And I don't know if that
warrants a bad attitude. I don't even know if he's
going to have a bad attitude. It's no TAWI pitching Day,
(24:21):
which is always really exciting. There's always a buzz in
the air. Davidsey and Servicetitan Dot com. David Essay is
our guest courtesy of Navian and Servicetitan dot Com. The
Dodgers are in Cincinnati, like we said, and know Tawnie's pitching.
Cincinnati's got good pictures, but the Dodgers have conquered the
last two nights. Dave, how's it going out there?
Speaker 4 (24:43):
It's going great. Gavin Lux is in left field again tonight.
He had some issues out there last night, so he's
out here taking some early work. And the Dodgers certainly
made him work last night in the seventh inning and
in the ninth inning of last night's come from Behind wind,
So he's getting some ex work. And it's another great
night getaway day for the Dodgers, who are always in
(25:06):
prime time even in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Yeah, you guys will be there late, and then next
up is day off in Tampa. I'm sure you'll enjoy that.
Get some soft shell crab or something. But overall, Dave,
is there a buzz wain? No, Toddi's pitching. I mean,
we were there for that first one, but now that
it's become a little bit more of a regular thing,
is there still a special feeling.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
In the air.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Well, we'll see how many people show up to Cincinnati tonight.
It's great American ballpark. But I think everybody's anticipating I
wouldn't say excited, but eager to say, to see Otani
go more than three innings. And Dave Roberts said as
much that he's going to go at least four if
everything works out with the results that he has in
(25:52):
the first three innings. And I saw Emma Shehan go
out to the mound about two hours ago kind of
visualizing pitching here. So that kind of tells me Imachin's
going to follow show Heyo Tani tonight.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
So how long would you anticipate before the gloves are
taken off that he can go and there's not going
to be any restrictions and they're just going to let
him go for as long as he's producing on the
mound in a single game.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Yeah, Well, the Dodgers have said the last I don't
know handful of starts here to start this whole pitching
thing off, that it's him doing the final legs of
his rehab work in a major league game, and that's
why we've seen incremental shifts as far as innings pitch.
But I asked Dave Roberts about that whether or not
tonight is the first start outside of the rehab process,
(26:40):
and he said he doesn't believe the rest of this
year is going to be classified anything other than him
just wrapping up the rehab part of it and not
going one hundred pitches or going seven innings in a
start this year. So it feels like there are going
to be limitations the rest of the season as far
as pitch count and inn for Otani.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Gloves are never coming off. David Listening is our guest
show Haltani the Batter.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Dave.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
We praised him the other day in this segment for
shortening up his swing and setting the tone for the
Dodgers on the first night in Cincinnati, But it really
does feel like home runners strikeout these days.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Yeah, he really has turned into a slugger. I mean,
he is hitting still above two seventy, but he's on
pace for one hundred and ninety one strikeouts. Last night
only the sixth time in his career that he struck
out four times in a game, zero for five last night.
He just never seemed to be seeing the baseball out
of Nicolodolo's hand. From the very first pitch he saw
(27:42):
last night, so even O'tani's human, but tonight should be
a fun night with him on the mound and going
up against Nick Martinez, who actually pitched on the same
Japanese team that Otani did, but not at the same time.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Dave, what is the expectation for or Freeland getting called
up major league debut? Obviously there's a need, but what
is the expectation from them and his role tonight and
through the series.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
He's making his major league debut, first major league starts
tonight at third base, so I think we're all wanting
to see what the hype has been about. But talking
to a few coaches that just observed him on the
bench last night, he did not have that starstruck look
in his eyes being in a major league dugout for
the first time this year and in his life, so
(28:31):
that was encouraging signs that he was not overwhelmed by
this stage. So he's a guy that is very confident,
is described by Dave Roberts as being nails on the
baseball field. So all seeing together what it's all about.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Alex Freeland looks like kind of like a like a
I don't know, like sort of a white trash dude
with a weird mustache and like a mic flash. What
is he like? Is that what he seems like with
csal As, southern dude, like from a movie riding in
the back of a truck.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Yeah, I would say he's the baseball version of a
swampy at oseron, But I wouldn't feel as far as
to describe him as trashy the way.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
You know, only in the most affectionate way. Oh sure, well,
it's a very skinny trashy mustache, Dave, you'd know this
to be true.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
I'm not confirming or denying anything that you're digging into
a swamp yourself.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Uh, Dave, do you send any sort of uneasiness in
the clubhouse with the deadline right around the corner from
people you talk to?
Speaker 4 (29:37):
No, I would say, you know, some guys are more
they have more rabbit ears than others, because there's certain
guys that probably have an uneasy feeling that you know
they could be part of a trade by three o'clock
specific time tomorrow. So yeah, I would say I take
(29:57):
that back, Jonas. Yeah, there are a couple of guys
that a feeling a little more uneasy today than other players.
For sure.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Wow, that's very gracious of you, Dave. That was a
very gracious answer, David Fasse at the Real Liney, that's
a good one. Yeah, at the Underscore TV head into
Tampa Bay after tonight's game, Ohtadi on the mound, anything
more specific, Dave about the trade deadline as it keeps approaching.
(30:27):
We keep talking about it day in and day out
because the Dodgers are in the market for a few things.
But it might not happen in the same way that
we think.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Yeah, and look, Stephen Kwan's name continues to be connected
to the Dodgers. Whether or not a trade actually happens
remains to be seen. It would take a lot to
get Stephen Kwan. Harris and Vaders seems like an easier
target for the Dodgers from the Twins. His name has
been connected to them as well. I know everybody's high
(30:57):
on Joe on Duran, But if the Dodgers have to
determine for themselves whether or not they can make him
better against righties because righties are hitting almost two seventy
against him. He's been actually better against lefties. So the
Twins have a handful of relievers that are of interest
that could help any team. David Bednar the Pirates, you know,
from what I'm hearing from three different teams is the
(31:20):
Pirates are asking a lot for him, and teams are
balking at that ask right now. But that can change,
you know, as you get closer to the trade deadline tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Alexis Diaz getting the win against his ex last night,
I'm sure he was pretty fired up about it. Where
the teammates and the rest of the guys happy for him.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
Yeah, I mean, actually, Alexi Diaz was surprised with how
well he pitched here that when he came out of
the bullpen last night, he was greeted with very loud
booze and he came in and delivered and could be
a solution to the Dodgers' right handed relief issues with
so many injuries because he got four key outs, came in,
(31:59):
got the final opt of the seventh last night, and
only used eight pitches to get three outs in the
eighth inning. So I've been I know in listeners of
Dodger Talk and maybe even Petros just tired of me
talking about Alexis Diaz. But he really is an under
the radar type of guy that could help release the
pressure point at the trade deadline if the Dodgers are
(32:21):
convinced he can be that guy.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I didn't remember anybody talking about him one way or
the other. Oh, we love you, Dave. I have a
great night and we'll be listening and have a safe
trip down to Tampa.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
What's your dad doing before the trade deadline? Does he
have the Greek evil eye out for James Outman, because
you know James Outman certainly a guy of interest for
other teams.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Well, we'd love to see James Outman get more of
an opportunity as a family.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
All right, your dad had the candles out. What's he doing?
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Look, you know you don't need to sit there and
sit my dad like if Autman does anything, which is
obviously never hit, but if he does anything like make
a ca at or outrun something, my dad sends a
text to Dave, and Dave's like, get a at booze,
you know, I mean, Dave's always got to tell him
the truth about it, and I think it upsets the
old man.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
I mean he acted like he got on base himself.
He was a pinch ry Dave.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Well, you can you've really stuck it to the old man.
Way to go have fun out there, Dave. We'll talk
to you tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
Okay, thank you, David.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Ladies and gentlemen, I thought that went terrible. No, I
thought that went pretty good.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Actually, let me tell you something. There's a reason why
I didn't care about that tsunami last night because that
was my own personal I just survived. Okay, that was
my thousand foot way. If we all have an elguappo
that haunts us. I can see the water rushing up
(33:51):
and Jonas is like, kids is gonna be okay? Am
I worried about this.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Story about a guy named Davids. I got to finish
my interview prep for Kate's text, He'll strike you like
a moccasin. I didn't.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I wasn't aware of the the Greek evil eye that
you mentioned.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I didn't know if that was the thing. You don't
know what an evil eye is, like the Greek evil eye?
The Greek well, the evil eye is Greek. You see
them and a lot of people like Persians or uh
do you see it in like do you know what
the evil eye is?
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I mean, is it like similar to a walleye?
Speaker 3 (34:24):
What's a walle like a walleye? Gibbler like well.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Like like somebody who's crossed. They can look at you time. No.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
No, the evil eye is a symbol. It's like a
pagan symbol. But it also finds its way into a
lot of orthodoxy, Eastern religions, Eastern European. Uh, like Greek Orthodoxy. Uh,
it's blue, it's.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
I have I'm looking at it right now. Yeah. Sweet.
Well don't you see chicks wearing them and stuff? Yeah,
a lot of hippies. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Well, it's it's an old European thing of superstition. It's
supposed to warn off evil spirits. The Greeks would call
it the mati, meaning the eye.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I mean, hopefully it works for James Outman.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I don't think Alban knows if he's coming or going
when it comes to By the way, what an awful
feeling that must be. Like twenty four hours away and
your future is completely up. Hey, pro Sports, you f
to up. You're trusting us. Uh, We'll be right back
with an update on the WNBA. Hello, PMS listener, did
(35:36):
you know AM five seventy LA Sports has a wide
range of LA Sports podcasts. There's Rogan and Rodney. That
one is my favorite.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Dodger Talk with David Vasse, the Dodger Podcast of record,
Clipper Talk without a Musk, follow us all and many more.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Just go to Am five to seventy LA Sports on
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
How am I not myself?
Speaker 3 (35:59):
What's greg? Everybody? And welcome back? I mean you saw
Freeland Kate's he looks pretty white trash.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
I would never say that. I would never say he
just looks like he is not. I'm not saying he
is Peteuck's. You gotta understand, like the little hair coming
out of the back of the hat and the mustache.
It's like with all the young kids in their twenties
are doing now.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Yeah, and they look white trash. They're all trying to
look like that one guy, what's that Morgan Wallen? Yeah,
they're trying to look like is that not? I mean
he's kind of white, right, I don't know if he's.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
White or I don't know, you know. Plus he's got
that separation but uh, you know in the dent below
his nose, so it looks even uh like even.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
More are you are you suggesting that he's that he's perhaps,
you know, from one of those communities where there's not
a lot of options for chicks.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
No, I'm just saying, you know, there's you know, it
just feels like without the beard, maybe not the greatest look,
but hey, look he's supposed to be a great prospect
twenty five love.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
I love his look. I love his look. He looks
like a buyou psycho. All right, I'm doing this.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Of it.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
You know, the whole WNBA thing is quite interesting. They
don't seem to be able to deal with their own success.
As far as you know, Caitlin Clark being such a
lightning rod of good things for the league, charter flights
for everybody, nice hotels, and they repay her by trying
(37:31):
to poke her eyes out like Moe and Curly. But
it goes even further than that, Jonas you remember at
All Star weekend for the WNBA in Indianapolis, when and
this could have been a harbinger of doom, a sign
of things to come, when the famous unicycler from China,
(37:53):
Red Panda went down because of a faulty unicycle oh yeah,
yeah yeah, and broke her wrist, you know, and all
of a sudden, you know, we all pay peripheral attention
to the WNBA that happened and then in the last
two days we've had at least three crazy stories. Two
(38:14):
days ago, Phoenix player Kalia Cooper's wig flew off. They
stopped the game like somebody had broken their leg or neck.
She ran off like a true bald head scottywag, and
I was shocked. The announcers were scared to talk about it,
(38:36):
and I don't I don't think there's any video of
this or I haven't seen a follow up on this,
but I believe a fan even got booted ye for
laughing about it. Yep.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
I mean it's okay in the NFL when Jason Sehorn's
got to fix his pants trying to run down and
make a tackle on somebody, he gets criticized for it.
But if a fan laughs at some you know, some
woman's squirrel falling off her shoulders, he gets thrown out
of the game. It's unfortunate.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
I don't understand how you get thrown out for laughing
and somebody's wig flying off, like that's literally something that
happens in comedies for hundreds of years.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Well, is that not the best part of kingpinbi Earn? Yeah,
celebrating flying.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Somebody's wig flies off, that's like automatic laughter for anybody.
But if it happens in the WNBA, you got booted.
Imagine if a guy's two pay flew off like Lebron
in an NBA game and somebody got through. Actually, that's
not a good example because I could see Lebron's two
pay has gotten a little off kilter and people do laugh,
(39:40):
and Lebron has had people thrown out of NBA games,
fans not because of that. Maybe maybe that's just not
a great example, but it's still pretty weird.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Right Yeah, I mean you would think, especially that league.
I mean, they'll take anybody that comes in, like, just
you don't. We're not looking to lose anybody, so please
say whatever you want with the wig.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
It just brought up some questions, you know, absurd. Look,
I never knew that women did the hair extension things like,
you know, all kinds of different women, right until there
was a girl over at my house or my apartment
many years ago and there was like a strand of
her hair in the bed and I was like, oh,
is this girl, Like is she dying? Does she have leprosy?
(40:26):
Like I didn't know it came off with the attack. Yeah,
And she's like, those are my extensions, don't we like? Okay,
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Know, you know, to that point. I had my ex
her family owned a salon. I was unaware of that
until I saw it and thought it looked like the Predator.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
That's why they call it a weave because it's weaved
into your head. But a very absurd situation, no doubt.
That begs a lot of questions. Just the wig number one,
why do you play with a wig? Is this ballet
or like a musical or ice dancing? Always thought it
was weird. At USC there was a really good basketball
player named Tina Thompson on our team and she played
(41:08):
with a full face of makeup, and I thought that
was weird, you know, like real heavy lipstick, right, And
I don't know, it all just seems odd, but maybe
it's not. And then yesterday somebody something even crazier happened.
(41:31):
The Atlanta Dream versus the Golden State Valkyries. Oh, we
should play Ride to the Valkyries. Right now, you play
Ride of the Valkyries. Somebody threw a neon green like
Seattle Seahawks neon green, like what do they call that color?
(41:52):
Rush green dildo on the floor and they autographed by
Steve Largent. They actually did a better job the broadcast
of covering the green sex toy. Then they did the
wig and the fan getting kicked out. The broadcast found
(42:15):
the sex toy and the cameraman pushed in on it,
which is uncanny. Now, in the defense of the fan
that threw the sex toy, it was late in the
fourth quarter, so the fan waited till like a pivotal
moment because it was.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
A tie game. Talk about the endurance hold them onto
that for that long. Maybe he needed it for something.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
No one was thrown out for laughing, although I'm sure
somebody had a laugh.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Hayes gets clumped by my callswell, something.
Speaker 3 (42:56):
Flies on the court actually from the crowd.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
The officials will say they will continue play. As that
goes off the fingertips, let's keep going, calkyries off. See
the objects the block right there, and the object comes,
that green thing and it goes to the sidelines. We're
not exactly where. I'm not sure where it came from.
(43:22):
Note room for any of that type of activity.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
No room here on the course, now, okay, and.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
That once picked the object up yet you oh my gosh, okay, Okay.
Speaker 3 (43:38):
The toy skipped about twenty five feet throw players were shocked,
and if the wig of the Apparatus of Pleasure weren't enough,
the La Sparks mascot Sparky, Who's a Dog, was brutally
kicked by a guy doing multiple backhand springs. One of
(44:01):
the acrobatic performers that shoots t shirts into the sparse
crowd at the Crypto kicked the mascot Sparky so bad.
And that's like in the last forty eight hours, sex
toy mascot head kicked off, wig flies off. I mean,
(44:25):
you know my question to you, mister vampire, and we
all know about vampires, hyper insight and sexuality. Yeah, what
is next for this star crossed hoopsley? I mean, three
days ago, none of this has happened. All they had
was Caitlin Clark's groin and getting her eyes poked out
and Red Panda breaking her wrist at the All Star Game.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
I mean, you know what I said. My guess was,
which I feel like this is got a real strong chance.
This is probably the shortest odds. If we were to
go bet on this at Gilbert Arenas's house, If you
were to go bet at Gilbert Arenas's house and say,
next thing to be thrown on the court. I'm going ballgag, Okay,
but that's just that's me. If you've guys got other
(45:07):
options out there, that's fine. I also think that the
throwing of the of the dildo the the Seahawks color
rush dilto onto the floor. I also think that this
illustrates that the Bills fan base is still the greatest
fan base in the world, because I have sent you
and Tim Katz the gif or the giff I believe,
(45:29):
as some people call it, but the gift of the
Bills fan who threw a dildo onto the field. This
was years ago against the Patriots, and they did it
two years in a row. And the Patriots were in
town playing the Bills. There was a dilta that was
thrown onto the field that made it all the way
actually onto the field and almost hit Stefan Gilmour, who
(45:50):
I believe that same year one Defensive Player of the
Year or was defensive MVP. So I've just you know,
it's a I don't know why p people thought that
would be a good idea, but you know, apparently that's
a move. Now if you go to games.
Speaker 3 (46:05):
I don't. I don't accept it. I don't think it's
respectful to the women.
Speaker 2 (46:13):
I'm sure they have their own apparati that they could use.
Maybe one of the ladies will throw down a dunk. Oh,
that could be the big surprise. Lisa Leslie style. Man,
she threw it down back in the day. Geez, you
want her to dunk the dildo?
Speaker 3 (46:34):
No, just dunk in gym Oh gosh, I was gonna say, like,
who's gonna pick that thing out? I bet it'd be
easier to dunk than the basketball.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
True father. Whatever happened to the paper airplane no longer, Like,
we can't use that anymore. We've gotta save trees. So
we're throwing sex toys now.
Speaker 3 (46:54):
You know. Some guy went home was like, I'm the guy.
You're the guy that did what I'm the guy I
hurled that pildo. We'll be right back with more great

On KNBC Really Good Show. It is.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Our dear friend, Darker than Dracula's Nutsack, our friend Jonas Knox.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Hello, Jonas, what a good time to be here. We're
dodging thousand foot waves.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
It's not been easy.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
We've got the meathead bull coming off tomorrow night. Like
how much chew do you think Dan Campbell and Jim
Harbor are going through it a game?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Oh well, like all the other foo look at I
appreciate two real foot Like I know you'd love to
talk NFL football, and I think it's really good that
you do. I hear your solo show on the weekends
where you get really down and dirty about the NFL. No, honestly,
I'm not even joking. Like I like listening to you
talk about the NFL. I think you have a really
(04:51):
good perspective on it. I am not as I mean,
it's obviously a very impressive league, but I guess I'm
just not as impressed with it as I was when
I was a kid and the tailback was more important
than the quarterback. But now I'm just digressing. I resent
the Lafleur McVeigh stay modern football coach model. I'm with you,
(05:19):
like the guy that looks like he's a CEO and
has more Travis Matthew in his closet than any of us.
You know, I just I resent that guy, you know,
the quarter zip. Yeah, I resent. I do. I really
do resent that that model of the modern coach. I
(05:42):
understand why it exists. I guess because the NFL has
become so corporate and such a moneymaker that these guys
have to have some kind of pr kind of vibe.
But I like football coaches that compare the beginning of
care up to the birth of Christ, like Jim Harbaugh.
(06:02):
I like coaches that say they're gonna gnaw your knee
caps off, and everybody laughs at him, and guess what
they do, They gnaw kneecaps. Detroit has become really great
under Campbell, better than I think anybody expected them to
be the downtrodden franchise that they've been for years and years.
I'd rather have the meathead Bowl than the freaking zoom
(06:24):
meeting douchebag latte bowl. Jonas.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I mean, look, you think bum Phillips could get a
job these days, No chance, No chance.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I mean I feel like with Campbell and Harba that
there is some you know, and then there's that goofball
idiot in Philadelphia. You know he's not exactly a pr.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Dream Oh yeah, Sirianni.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, he seems like a real idiot.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
By the way, why has Philly accumulated every Italian? Every
eye tie that has anything to do with the NFL
is all in Philadelphia now, Fangio, Sirianni. That guy Big
Dom like everybody who's Italians in Philly for some reason,
big security guy. Yes, a security guard.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I just and you know, I used to laugh when
I remember when Rob Ryan, former Fox Sports radio Alumbrack.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Now USC linebacker coach Ryan, other than Deanton Lynn, probably
it was Matt Antz, the linebacker coach who was the
head coach at North Dakota State and won a bunch
of titles. He's now the guy at Fresno. So Rob Ryan,
your boy is now the linebacker coach at USC.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
And he's claimed because he was in the NFL and
he was good for as a coordinator for a long time,
and he he claimed years ago that he couldn't get
an NFL job because of his appearance, and I thought,
there's no way. And then you start to see the
mcveigh's and these other guys come in, and I wonder,
to your point, maybe he's kind of right.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yeah, maybe maybe that was.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Part of it. They want the manicured beards, they want
they want him to look a certain way. Now the
entire NFL has changed and your coach has to look
a certain way.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
It's a more corporate model, even within your I mean,
the days of Chuck Knox and Chuck.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Noll on opposite coasts are over.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
But you know, it is interesting because and God rest
his soul, and a lot of people have really warm feelings,
including myself and my dad from Mike Leach absolutely love
Mike Leach and his history, But it was always really
funny to me that people would mention Mike Leach's name
for just any job that popped up. You remember that
(08:32):
time in sports where it was like UCLA was open.
Oh my god, they can get Leach. You know, Tennessee,
they can get Leach. And it's like, I'm thinking, do
these people even know who they're talking about? Like there's
a reason that Leach could only coach at the furthest
outposts of the Big Conference? And I'm not even joking.
(08:54):
Why is the furthest outpost of the PAC twelve or
ten Washington? It's Pullman. What is the furthest outpost of
the Big twelve? You can argue maybe, Ames, but it
really is Lubbock.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Right, Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
What is the furthest out outpost of the SEC? Stark Vegas, Starkville,
Mississippi State. That's the only place that Leech could exist
because he's gonna show up forty minutes late to an
alumni dinner when everybody's in a tux and he's going
to be in a polo that's all saggy, that looks
like he bought at a thrift store and he's gonna
(09:32):
smell like boh, and you can't. You can't pay that
guy Tennessee coaching money and expect him to show up
at all this stuff. Do you know what I'm saying? Like?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Do you do you remember this story when Craig James's
son complained of a headache at practice, he put him
in as he put him in a shed.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Craig James, I mean, he got his way and got
Leech fired from a job that he was enormously pop
doing in a place that he was enormously popular and
still is enormously popular. Craig James succeeded in getting Leech removed,
but I think it pretty much destroyed his entire career
(10:14):
and reputation. I mean, has anybody heard about Craig James
since then?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
No?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I mean have you talked about him? I haven't. No.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Like, the only thing I think about is I reminisced
when the Bears, you know, were mutilating the Patriots in
that Super Bowl. Craig James was on that Patriots team.
I love a white tailbag, and I mean, listen, who doesn't.
Other than that, I mean, I don't know where he
comes up in the conversation. Maybe Eric Dickerson will bring
him up from time to time.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Yeah, Dickerson is still around. And Craig James was very
prevalent on television for years and years and years and
after he went after Leech, who's a really popular guy. Anyway,
It is just kind of interesting about coaches and people
think you could just put one person anywhere and fit
in that culture. I mean, Lincoln Riley's a great example,
(11:03):
a Texas big twelve guy who's out here in southern
California and he can't surf. You know, he can't. You know,
he is not he is not navigating this place well.
And he's on one of the hottest seats in America.
And it stands to easy.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Each Man, Michael each was awesome. Like he did. He
broke down in an interview one time. How he's got
a pet sword. He had a pet sword next to
his bed, his night stand because he loved the show Viking,
so it made him want to get No, he got
an axe. It was an axe, and he loved the
show Viking, so he would get this. He got this axe,
and to calm himself down, he would pet the axe.
(11:40):
And I don't know, he was just like if it
was like a norm MacDonald. He was so far ahead
of everybody in the joke that nobody caught on to it.
But you could just listen to whatever he.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Is, like when you talk to him, like he looked
through you, like when you asked him questions, like you
know how I mean? And I feel like this the
older I get. It's like I would like for people
to think that I'm actually really there when they're talking
to me and I hear what they're saying, and I
don't oftentimes because we're also scattered and in our own minds,
(12:12):
and like I would say something to Leash and it
would like stop you, because he'd be looking at you
and wanting to hear what you said so intensely. And
you know, we're so used to people sort of just
dismissing us, and like I was just I was always
kind of taken aback in a weird way, in a
good way being around him and covering him. He was
(12:34):
the kind of guy that you'd be like, look, one
more drink, we got to go, and he'd order a
bottle of wine or so you know that. And yeah,
he was Mormon, but I don't think he's still indulged,
I guess, and he just a very interesting figure in
the history of college sports. But yes, a meathead bowl
(12:55):
for coaching, no doubt. What is the level of interest
in the Hall of Fame gamer here? Not sure? But
Matt Muddy Smith, Shannon Farren and the one and only
Daniel Jeremiah will be on that call tomorrow. Do they
have to do the pregame show too? Do they? Kate's
(13:15):
Do you know who does the pregame show for who?
For the Chargers? Oh it's Ilo, Isaac does it? And
then Shannon pops in from the field, DJ and Matt
check in from the booth.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
So yeah, pretty excitly. But by the way, did you
see they adjusted the criteria to get into the College
Football Hall of Fame? Oh?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yeah, yeah, four leak go see. And that's fair. I
mean his coaching trees crazy and problematic in many ways,
and USC kind of caught the pooh end of the
stick when it was really the last big air raid
higher was Lincoln Riley getting hired at USC. Like all
(13:57):
of those air raid guys have kind of gone know,
in a little bit of a way. They've either adapted
or changed a whole bunch or they've gone out of style.
You know, you got your guys like Kingsbury who were
in the NFL calling plays totally different animal and you
know the hash marks are where they are, but that
whole air raid thing went out of style the second USC,
(14:17):
you know, looking Riley for a billion dollars with a
four hundred billion dollar buyout, So things are going great.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Do you think Matt money Smith will drop a Lee
Hacksaw Hamilton like a sort of a no Lee.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I don't know. They don't think they get along. Were
they friendly kates?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I don't know. I don't I don't know if they're.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I think Matter has really divorced himself from whatever the
San Diego Chargers had going on. You know, it's a
new era touchdown Chargers.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
So Jonah, are you looking for like a four wide
of the formation touchdown?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I didn't know how many places. Lee Hacksaw Hamilton actually
was the play by play guy. And one thing that
was really shocking when we were looking at it up
the other day was and this just goes to show you,
like even somebody like me when I played football, I
was pretty media friendly. I mean a lot. That's why
I did this, ended up doing this for a living.
(15:15):
I didn't think it was gonna happen. But I did
a lot of interviews as a football player because I
was kind of an odd ball and a little different
and a ball carrier. And I didn't know. Lee Hacksaw
Hamilton was our play by play guy on the radio
when I was there, and Absolute I was like, Tim
Kats the other day was like, yeah, you know, he
was the SE play by Playuy. I was like, when
(15:36):
when was that guy? I'd never worked at SE, and
Kate's looked it up and it was like, exactly coincided
with my footballer the exactly the three years and I
played there, Lee Axaw Hamilton was our play by play guy.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I thought he was exclusive San Diego guy. I thought
it was no.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
He did the he did the well, he did San
Diego State, he did the Chargers, he did the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
For a while, he had hired for the Vikings and
then something happened. And what do you think happened?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Well, yeah, look at that big black booty. I don't
know who knows what he said.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I'm looking for a juicy lucy.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
But he had a more illustrious play by play career
than I remember him having and now look who does
afternoon drive for the last twenty years in La Matt
money Smith. Damn right, and he has a play by
play gig with the Chargers not and you know, and
he did used to kind of comb his hair forward
(16:41):
like hacksaw.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Wow the similarities, Am I wrong? Wow?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Do you remember that he used to when he used
to comb his hair forward?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Cake?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Well, when I first met Matt money Smith, when he
showed up here at the press conference to her news
Joe Grande and Matt money Smith, Matt money Smith had
a Professors of US History JC. Yeah, that was his
aura yet with a bag you know over his you know, shoulder.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Like professorial rock and roll Indie rock vibe right, like.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
He was going to go, you know, perform for the
Kings of Leon that night. But he teaches us history
one on one at Valley College.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Man, he morphed into golf Matt right. Yes, and now
we have surf Mat. So it's been it's been quite
a journey. Yeah. Well, he's like a cocoon. He comes,
goes in, he comes. He's a beautiful monarch butterfly.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
He's probably pissed he missed the tsunami, then if he's
a surfer now right. I thought about him last night.
I thought, this is Macinna like Hunkered Dad.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I thought what he would do is just like paddle
out real far so the so the tsunami doesn't affect him, right,
so it's just like a little bomb like us. Nothing.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I could totally see him doing that, like I have
the ability to paddle out. Were you able to drain
the water out of your place today? Jonas out in
the eight o five? You guys, ok there, yeah, we
got just devastated. What a scam. And then you know
my favorite part is you got like all the people
on the Weather Channel, and I love I'm a weather nerd.
So I was watching like live cams in Maui to
see what it was actually looking like. And you've got
(18:11):
these people showing these like sketches of what the wave
could look like if it swallows the coastline. And it
was just all garbage, just all of it was garbage.
But you know, they got to tell you.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I don't know if it's sensational. I mean, you know
they have to tell people we have our different you know,
our different colors. You know, a tsunami alert tsunami warning, tsunami.
They all mean something different, tsunami whispers in the dark.
You know, they're all they all have a different set
of protocol that comes with it. All I know is
(18:44):
like I was hanging on like a real thriller last night,
and I have to go to bed early on Tuesdays
because I have to get up really early to do
Jonas' show once a week. And I was very resentful
because like they kept saying, any moment now, yeah, haunt
this live camera and Honola Bay is gonna be under water,
(19:05):
and it was like any second, like all these Twitter guys,
any moment, now, look at the water receding. Here, it
comes here, it comes your sons a pitcher, and it
never showed up.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
The first wave is about thirty minutes out, yeah, and
then down everybody thirty this is real.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
And then thirty minutes later it was like nothing.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
And anyway, how about the fact that they like after
the first wave came to like, well, it's not necessarily
the first wave.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
This could be an hours, third wave hours.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
And then you had any helo. You had people that
were on excursions left behind by their seek, their their
cruise ship just left them and it does.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Really. It reminded me a little bit of the election,
you know, where they're like, yeah, this is gonna be
days and days. We're not gonna know. No one's gonna
that we we we may never know who won won
the presidency. That's how long it's gonna take us to
count these votes. And then like eleven thirty at nine
Pacific time. Uh uh they what It's like. I don't
(20:05):
trust anybody anymore with anything. I mean, I was on
like multiple webcams. I was on the Elks Shaka webcam
and Waikiki, Yeah, right underneath Diamond Head nothing.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I was even Chad. There was a couple of tropical
storms that were in the path, and I thought, oh
my god, oh yeah, kind of what kind of super
wave is this gonna come too?
Speaker 3 (20:26):
This has never happened before. There's a there's a major
hurricane in the middle of the ocean that's not affecting anybody,
and this little puckast tsunami wand that's so small and
in the middle of the ocean. There's gonna go right
b and like from that was gonna come like a
super El Nino, like spitting islag tits all over everybody.
(20:49):
Like what I mean, I gotta stop, I gotta stop
staying up at night.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Well, I read the first time I went to Hawaii,
it was I think it was twenty eighteen, there was
some there was a hurricane that is approaching the coast
guy and so like I turn on the weather channel
and they've got this guy, some dead end standing out
there holding the mic. He's on waiki Kei Beach. They've
got palm tree branches behind him, laying on the ground
(21:14):
and he's trying to hold himself up because the wind
is so strong. And literally, in the background, I swear
to God, in the background, you see a dad and
his kid grab a frisbee and start throwing it to
each other.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah, they're all a lot. They do. They do try
very hard to sensationalized thing. I mean, I think it
was I don't know how long ago it was. It
might have been five or six years ago in Hawaii
where somebody screwed up and hit like the button that
said that a nuclear missile was headed toward him.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Remember that, Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
And it's like it was like for eight hours everybody thought, yeah,
this is it. Nuclear winner coming straight to a poly
beach and they were like, oh, we're sorry that we
didn't mean to touch the butt. What some guy thought
it was a direct life stopped like I stopped trusting
you after you hit the nucle your button accidentally. Like
my god.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Anyway, I'm tired of the lies.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
And we didn't even talk about Gilbert Arenas and his
shady poker game with all the guys from like, uh,
what a sweet poker team and all the bad guys
in Delta Force. We'll be right back. A big thank
you to Jonas Knox for being here. A survivor, a
(22:24):
survivor he survived that that frisbee fight in Hawaii, survived
LaVar and Brady this morning. Yeah, they were wild. They
were wild. It was like riding a bucking bronco. When
I got on there, it was all dildo's and weaves.
It really was. I mean this time of year. I
(22:49):
used to do this job, like, hey, let's preview the
sc and UCLA college football teams. Now we got dildo's
on the court, Gilbert's poker game, fake tsunami. David Vassa
will join us live from Cincinnati next Anything going on
in Cincinnati outside of the baseball, stuft bangles, anything else,
(23:12):
not that I know.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or your
favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast, a preset on
the iHeartRadio using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Road trip all summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
What am I gonna do with this guy? Wednesday? It's
no tsunami safety precautions necessary in southern California. Wednesday. We
got Jonas Knox in and we're excited about that, except
for maybe for this segment. You know, I didn't know
if I texted Dave and it was like, hey, Dave,
(23:58):
don't be a d You know that that would make
him be that way, you know what I mean? Yeah,
I just didn't know. And you know, there's only one
of us, you know, that's in Cincinnati, you know, kind
of plowing through a long and arduous East Coast swing
of a road trip. And I don't know if that
warrants a bad attitude. I don't even know if he's
going to have a bad attitude. It's no TAWI pitching Day,
(24:21):
which is always really exciting. There's always a buzz in
the air. Davidsey and Servicetitan Dot com. David Essay is
our guest courtesy of Navian and Servicetitan dot Com. The
Dodgers are in Cincinnati, like we said, and know Tawnie's pitching.
Cincinnati's got good pictures, but the Dodgers have conquered the
last two nights. Dave, how's it going out there?
Speaker 4 (24:43):
It's going great. Gavin Lux is in left field again tonight.
He had some issues out there last night, so he's
out here taking some early work. And the Dodgers certainly
made him work last night in the seventh inning and
in the ninth inning of last night's come from Behind wind,
So he's getting some ex work. And it's another great
night getaway day for the Dodgers, who are always in
(25:06):
prime time even in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Yeah, you guys will be there late, and then next
up is day off in Tampa. I'm sure you'll enjoy that.
Get some soft shell crab or something. But overall, Dave,
is there a buzz wain? No, Toddi's pitching. I mean,
we were there for that first one, but now that
it's become a little bit more of a regular thing,
is there still a special feeling.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
In the air.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Well, we'll see how many people show up to Cincinnati tonight.
It's great American ballpark. But I think everybody's anticipating I
wouldn't say excited, but eager to say, to see Otani
go more than three innings. And Dave Roberts said as
much that he's going to go at least four if
everything works out with the results that he has in
(25:52):
the first three innings. And I saw Emma Shehan go
out to the mound about two hours ago kind of
visualizing pitching here. So that kind of tells me Imachin's
going to follow show Heyo Tani tonight.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
So how long would you anticipate before the gloves are
taken off that he can go and there's not going
to be any restrictions and they're just going to let
him go for as long as he's producing on the
mound in a single game.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Yeah, Well, the Dodgers have said the last I don't
know handful of starts here to start this whole pitching
thing off, that it's him doing the final legs of
his rehab work in a major league game, and that's
why we've seen incremental shifts as far as innings pitch.
But I asked Dave Roberts about that whether or not
tonight is the first start outside of the rehab process,
(26:40):
and he said he doesn't believe the rest of this
year is going to be classified anything other than him
just wrapping up the rehab part of it and not
going one hundred pitches or going seven innings in a
start this year. So it feels like there are going
to be limitations the rest of the season as far
as pitch count and inn for Otani.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Gloves are never coming off. David Listening is our guest
show Haltani the Batter.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Dave.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
We praised him the other day in this segment for
shortening up his swing and setting the tone for the
Dodgers on the first night in Cincinnati, But it really
does feel like home runners strikeout these days.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Yeah, he really has turned into a slugger. I mean,
he is hitting still above two seventy, but he's on
pace for one hundred and ninety one strikeouts. Last night
only the sixth time in his career that he struck
out four times in a game, zero for five last night.
He just never seemed to be seeing the baseball out
of Nicolodolo's hand. From the very first pitch he saw
(27:42):
last night, so even O'tani's human, but tonight should be
a fun night with him on the mound and going
up against Nick Martinez, who actually pitched on the same
Japanese team that Otani did, but not at the same time.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Dave, what is the expectation for or Freeland getting called
up major league debut? Obviously there's a need, but what
is the expectation from them and his role tonight and
through the series.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
He's making his major league debut, first major league starts
tonight at third base, so I think we're all wanting
to see what the hype has been about. But talking
to a few coaches that just observed him on the
bench last night, he did not have that starstruck look
in his eyes being in a major league dugout for
the first time this year and in his life, so
(28:31):
that was encouraging signs that he was not overwhelmed by
this stage. So he's a guy that is very confident,
is described by Dave Roberts as being nails on the
baseball field. So all seeing together what it's all about.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Alex Freeland looks like kind of like a like a
I don't know, like sort of a white trash dude
with a weird mustache and like a mic flash. What
is he like? Is that what he seems like with
csal As, southern dude, like from a movie riding in
the back of a truck.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Yeah, I would say he's the baseball version of a
swampy at oseron, But I wouldn't feel as far as
to describe him as trashy the way.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
You know, only in the most affectionate way. Oh sure, well,
it's a very skinny trashy mustache, Dave, you'd know this
to be true.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
I'm not confirming or denying anything that you're digging into
a swamp yourself.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Uh, Dave, do you send any sort of uneasiness in
the clubhouse with the deadline right around the corner from
people you talk to?
Speaker 4 (29:37):
No, I would say, you know, some guys are more
they have more rabbit ears than others, because there's certain
guys that probably have an uneasy feeling that you know
they could be part of a trade by three o'clock
specific time tomorrow. So yeah, I would say I take
(29:57):
that back, Jonas. Yeah, there are a couple of guys
that a feeling a little more uneasy today than other players.
For sure.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Wow, that's very gracious of you, Dave. That was a
very gracious answer, David Fasse at the Real Liney, that's
a good one. Yeah, at the Underscore TV head into
Tampa Bay after tonight's game, Ohtadi on the mound, anything
more specific, Dave about the trade deadline as it keeps approaching.
(30:27):
We keep talking about it day in and day out
because the Dodgers are in the market for a few things.
But it might not happen in the same way that
we think.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Yeah, and look, Stephen Kwan's name continues to be connected
to the Dodgers. Whether or not a trade actually happens
remains to be seen. It would take a lot to
get Stephen Kwan. Harris and Vaders seems like an easier
target for the Dodgers from the Twins. His name has
been connected to them as well. I know everybody's high
(30:57):
on Joe on Duran, But if the Dodgers have to
determine for themselves whether or not they can make him
better against righties because righties are hitting almost two seventy
against him. He's been actually better against lefties. So the
Twins have a handful of relievers that are of interest
that could help any team. David Bednar the Pirates, you know,
from what I'm hearing from three different teams is the
(31:20):
Pirates are asking a lot for him, and teams are
balking at that ask right now. But that can change,
you know, as you get closer to the trade deadline tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Alexis Diaz getting the win against his ex last night,
I'm sure he was pretty fired up about it. Where
the teammates and the rest of the guys happy for him.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
Yeah, I mean, actually, Alexi Diaz was surprised with how
well he pitched here that when he came out of
the bullpen last night, he was greeted with very loud
booze and he came in and delivered and could be
a solution to the Dodgers' right handed relief issues with
so many injuries because he got four key outs, came in,
(31:59):
got the final opt of the seventh last night, and
only used eight pitches to get three outs in the
eighth inning. So I've been I know in listeners of
Dodger Talk and maybe even Petros just tired of me
talking about Alexis Diaz. But he really is an under
the radar type of guy that could help release the
pressure point at the trade deadline if the Dodgers are
(32:21):
convinced he can be that guy.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I didn't remember anybody talking about him one way or
the other. Oh, we love you, Dave. I have a
great night and we'll be listening and have a safe
trip down to Tampa.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
What's your dad doing before the trade deadline? Does he
have the Greek evil eye out for James Outman, because
you know James Outman certainly a guy of interest for
other teams.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Well, we'd love to see James Outman get more of
an opportunity as a family.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
All right, your dad had the candles out. What's he doing?
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Look, you know you don't need to sit there and
sit my dad like if Autman does anything, which is
obviously never hit, but if he does anything like make
a ca at or outrun something, my dad sends a
text to Dave, and Dave's like, get a at booze,
you know, I mean, Dave's always got to tell him
the truth about it, and I think it upsets the
old man.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
I mean he acted like he got on base himself.
He was a pinch ry Dave.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Well, you can you've really stuck it to the old man.
Way to go have fun out there, Dave. We'll talk
to you tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
Okay, thank you, David.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Ladies and gentlemen, I thought that went terrible. No, I
thought that went pretty good.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Actually, let me tell you something. There's a reason why
I didn't care about that tsunami last night because that
was my own personal I just survived. Okay, that was
my thousand foot way. If we all have an elguappo
that haunts us. I can see the water rushing up
(33:51):
and Jonas is like, kids is gonna be okay? Am
I worried about this.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Story about a guy named Davids. I got to finish
my interview prep for Kate's text, He'll strike you like
a moccasin. I didn't.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I wasn't aware of the the Greek evil eye that
you mentioned.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I didn't know if that was the thing. You don't
know what an evil eye is, like the Greek evil eye?
The Greek well, the evil eye is Greek. You see
them and a lot of people like Persians or uh
do you see it in like do you know what
the evil eye is?
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I mean, is it like similar to a walleye?
Speaker 3 (34:24):
What's a walle like a walleye? Gibbler like well.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Like like somebody who's crossed. They can look at you time. No.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
No, the evil eye is a symbol. It's like a
pagan symbol. But it also finds its way into a
lot of orthodoxy, Eastern religions, Eastern European. Uh, like Greek Orthodoxy. Uh,
it's blue, it's.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
I have I'm looking at it right now. Yeah. Sweet.
Well don't you see chicks wearing them and stuff? Yeah,
a lot of hippies. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Well, it's it's an old European thing of superstition. It's
supposed to warn off evil spirits. The Greeks would call
it the mati, meaning the eye.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I mean, hopefully it works for James Outman.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I don't think Alban knows if he's coming or going
when it comes to By the way, what an awful
feeling that must be. Like twenty four hours away and
your future is completely up. Hey, pro Sports, you f

Speaker 2 (35:58):
How am I not myself?
Speaker 3 (35:59):
What's greg? Everybody? And welcome back? I mean you saw
Freeland Kate's he looks pretty white trash.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
I would never say that. I would never say he
just looks like he is not. I'm not saying he
is Peteuck's. You gotta understand, like the little hair coming
out of the back of the hat and the mustache.
It's like with all the young kids in their twenties
are doing now.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Yeah, and they look white trash. They're all trying to
look like that one guy, what's that Morgan Wallen? Yeah,
they're trying to look like is that not? I mean
he's kind of white, right, I don't know if he's.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
White or I don't know, you know. Plus he's got
that separation but uh, you know in the dent below
his nose, so it looks even uh like even.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
More are you are you suggesting that he's that he's perhaps,
you know, from one of those communities where there's not
a lot of options for chicks.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
No, I'm just saying, you know, there's you know, it
just feels like without the beard, maybe not the greatest look,
but hey, look he's supposed to be a great prospect
twenty five love.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
I love his look. I love his look. He looks
like a buyou psycho. All right, I'm doing this.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Of it.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
You know, the whole WNBA thing is quite interesting. They
don't seem to be able to deal with their own success.
As far as you know, Caitlin Clark being such a
lightning rod of good things for the league, charter flights
for everybody, nice hotels, and they repay her by trying
(37:31):
to poke her eyes out like Moe and Curly. But
it goes even further than that, Jonas you remember at
All Star weekend for the WNBA in Indianapolis, when and
this could have been a harbinger of doom, a sign
of things to come, when the famous unicycler from China,
(37:53):
Red Panda went down because of a faulty unicycle oh yeah,
yeah yeah, and broke her wrist, you know, and all
of a sudden, you know, we all pay peripheral attention
to the WNBA that happened and then in the last
two days we've had at least three crazy stories. Two
(38:14):
days ago, Phoenix player Kalia Cooper's wig flew off. They
stopped the game like somebody had broken their leg or neck.
She ran off like a true bald head scottywag, and
I was shocked. The announcers were scared to talk about it,
(38:36):
and I don't I don't think there's any video of
this or I haven't seen a follow up on this,
but I believe a fan even got booted ye for
laughing about it. Yep.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
I mean it's okay in the NFL when Jason Sehorn's
got to fix his pants trying to run down and
make a tackle on somebody, he gets criticized for it.
But if a fan laughs at some you know, some
woman's squirrel falling off her shoulders, he gets thrown out
of the game. It's unfortunate.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
I don't understand how you get thrown out for laughing
and somebody's wig flying off, like that's literally something that
happens in comedies for hundreds of years.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Well, is that not the best part of kingpinbi Earn? Yeah,
celebrating flying.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Somebody's wig flies off, that's like automatic laughter for anybody.
But if it happens in the WNBA, you got booted.
Imagine if a guy's two pay flew off like Lebron
in an NBA game and somebody got through. Actually, that's
not a good example because I could see Lebron's two
pay has gotten a little off kilter and people do laugh,
(39:40):
and Lebron has had people thrown out of NBA games,
fans not because of that. Maybe maybe that's just not
a great example, but it's still pretty weird.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Right Yeah, I mean you would think, especially that league.
I mean, they'll take anybody that comes in, like, just
you don't. We're not looking to lose anybody, so please
say whatever you want with the wig.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
It just brought up some questions, you know, absurd. Look,
I never knew that women did the hair extension things like,
you know, all kinds of different women, right until there
was a girl over at my house or my apartment
many years ago and there was like a strand of
her hair in the bed and I was like, oh,
is this girl, Like is she dying? Does she have leprosy?
(40:26):
Like I didn't know it came off with the attack. Yeah,
And she's like, those are my extensions, don't we like? Okay,
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Know, you know, to that point. I had my ex
her family owned a salon. I was unaware of that
until I saw it and thought it looked like the Predator.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
That's why they call it a weave because it's weaved
into your head. But a very absurd situation, no doubt.
That begs a lot of questions. Just the wig number one,
why do you play with a wig? Is this ballet
or like a musical or ice dancing? Always thought it
was weird. At USC there was a really good basketball
player named Tina Thompson on our team and she played
(41:08):
with a full face of makeup, and I thought that
was weird, you know, like real heavy lipstick, right, And
I don't know, it all just seems odd, but maybe
it's not. And then yesterday somebody something even crazier happened.
(41:31):
The Atlanta Dream versus the Golden State Valkyries. Oh, we
should play Ride to the Valkyries. Right now, you play
Ride of the Valkyries. Somebody threw a neon green like
Seattle Seahawks neon green, like what do they call that color?
(41:52):
Rush green dildo on the floor and they autographed by
Steve Largent. They actually did a better job the broadcast
of covering the green sex toy. Then they did the
wig and the fan getting kicked out. The broadcast found
(42:15):
the sex toy and the cameraman pushed in on it,
which is uncanny. Now, in the defense of the fan
that threw the sex toy, it was late in the
fourth quarter, so the fan waited till like a pivotal
moment because it was.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
A tie game. Talk about the endurance hold them onto
that for that long. Maybe he needed it for something.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
No one was thrown out for laughing, although I'm sure
somebody had a laugh.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Hayes gets clumped by my callswell, something.
Speaker 3 (42:56):
Flies on the court actually from the crowd.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
The officials will say they will continue play. As that
goes off the fingertips, let's keep going, calkyries off. See
the objects the block right there, and the object comes,
that green thing and it goes to the sidelines. We're
not exactly where. I'm not sure where it came from.
(43:22):
Note room for any of that type of activity.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
No room here on the course, now, okay, and.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
That once picked the object up yet you oh my gosh, okay, Okay.
Speaker 3 (43:38):
The toy skipped about twenty five feet throw players were shocked,
and if the wig of the Apparatus of Pleasure weren't enough,
the La Sparks mascot Sparky, Who's a Dog, was brutally
kicked by a guy doing multiple backhand springs. One of
(44:01):
the acrobatic performers that shoots t shirts into the sparse
crowd at the Crypto kicked the mascot Sparky so bad.
And that's like in the last forty eight hours, sex
toy mascot head kicked off, wig flies off. I mean,
(44:25):
you know my question to you, mister vampire, and we
all know about vampires, hyper insight and sexuality. Yeah, what
is next for this star crossed hoopsley? I mean, three
days ago, none of this has happened. All they had
was Caitlin Clark's groin and getting her eyes poked out
and Red Panda breaking her wrist at the All Star Game.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
I mean, you know what I said. My guess was,
which I feel like this is got a real strong chance.
This is probably the shortest odds. If we were to
go bet on this at Gilbert Arenas's house, If you
were to go bet at Gilbert Arenas's house and say,
next thing to be thrown on the court. I'm going ballgag, Okay,
but that's just that's me. If you've guys got other
(45:07):
options out there, that's fine. I also think that the
throwing of the of the dildo the the Seahawks color
rush dilto onto the floor. I also think that this
illustrates that the Bills fan base is still the greatest
fan base in the world, because I have sent you
and Tim Katz the gif or the giff I believe,
(45:29):
as some people call it, but the gift of the
Bills fan who threw a dildo onto the field. This
was years ago against the Patriots, and they did it
two years in a row. And the Patriots were in
town playing the Bills. There was a dilta that was
thrown onto the field that made it all the way
actually onto the field and almost hit Stefan Gilmour, who
(45:50):
I believe that same year one Defensive Player of the
Year or was defensive MVP. So I've just you know,
it's a I don't know why p people thought that
would be a good idea, but you know, apparently that's
a move. Now if you go to games.
Speaker 3 (46:05):
I don't. I don't accept it. I don't think it's
respectful to the women.
Speaker 2 (46:13):
I'm sure they have their own apparati that they could use.
Maybe one of the ladies will throw down a dunk. Oh,
that could be the big surprise. Lisa Leslie style. Man,
she threw it down back in the day. Geez, you
want her to dunk the dildo?
Speaker 3 (46:34):
No, just dunk in gym Oh gosh, I was gonna say, like,
who's gonna pick that thing out? I bet it'd be
easier to dunk than the basketball.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
True father. Whatever happened to the paper airplane no longer, Like,
we can't use that anymore. We've gotta save trees. So
we're throwing sex toys now.
Speaker 3 (46:54):
You know. Some guy went home was like, I'm the guy.
You're the guy that did what I'm the guy I
hurled that pildo. We'll be right back with more great
sports Talk. Weord number song coming up back Great Sports
