Welcome three hours a great sports dot to the Petros
and Money Show on air at AM five seventy LA
Sports with the ability to really go anywhere and do anything,
streaming everywhere with the iHeartRadio app hosted by Mad Money Smith.
Check out the Fit and Petros Papadakas. That's what we
like to hear.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Here.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
They are on your home of the La Dodgers in
sinnc and down the Green Petros and Money, Drosen Money,
Rosen Money, Rosny. Somebody's boring me. I think it's me.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Going it out. Vic Petro by seventy year old.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Oh no, Matt, what happened? Vic is? Uh, you know it?
We're not it. We're not up there. I'll go up
there tomorrow, I guess, grab my board. But Vic is
not a He's not on today. And I heard he's sharp,
cogent and probing today. You know, he hems. He claims
(01:01):
to have predicted Freddy Freeman's home ron Christ He did
say Dodgers in seven though, so the Yankees got to
pick it up.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Well, you know, they do have the next three in
the Bronx. They did very good there. Still the game
team with the second best record in all of baseball.
You would assume the idea of a sweep seems a
bit far fetched, but.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
They had a prophecy. I guess can you confirm.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
That cash this in between twelve and two? Is he
not able to do that?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I think Rodney tried to make a fool of him.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Well that's not okay, Let's bring Vic on and celebrate him.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Well, we have to put Dave on in a few minutes.
I mean, it's a big World Series action today, Matt.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Are you just trying to tip your cap before we
get to the galloping Motors broadcast eight pm? Is that?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah? I feel bad because the guy was like Rodney
made You know, a few people have been like Rodney
made a fool of Vic. And Vic is coaching and
sharp and probing today. And Vic was right about his
Freddie Freeman prediction, and of course one of the great
moments in the history of Dodger baseball, and all the
parallels with Kirk Gibson and all the wonderful things that
(02:07):
we all were thinking and that had been said since then,
everybody talking about it, talk of the town, all the
morning shows, news people, No Colin, Colin Coward needed to
talk about Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah, two and six jets got to get into that.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
And a lot of people were a little bit upset,
texting me at nine am. Look what is this? What
is the iheartfeed? Where's Roman and Rodney? And that was
just a Friday thing, the All Day Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Pro kickoff, Right, we're kicking off the world series with
a special day of programming.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
But we can't cover up Colin cock callin. We can't.
We can't cock Colin because he gets to butt hurt,
which is you know, natural to be feeling butt hurt
when you get cocked. Just ask Dan Patrick who's been
being cucked by scam from Yeah scirm.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah. They had a poll question inside the DP offices,
Hey how long you think we're going to be off
the air? And the longest dates were five days off?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Five days man, Well, you you were like Isaiah, the
first prophet of Old Matt, very much like Isaiah when
the Dodgers were on the brink of elimination by the
Padres and you said, the Dodgers have to continue to
smite Dan Patrick, smite his heresy.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's too cocky. You could hear it, You could hear
the condescending tone in his Oh no doubt, we'll be
gone just for the week.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Probably not so because of that. I mean it is
really stretched and stretched like Caromello, like stretch Armstrong, like
any of the references that have been made here. Over
the years, Scam has become a beloved show in the
city of Los Angeles. People are gonna cry when it
(03:57):
goes away. It was a very exciting this morning. They
had the Western Begel mascot, the guy with the Western
hat that shoots off the Begels in a puff of
cream cheese.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I love that guy.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
He showed up today and his outfit guy just to
meet Steve Sacks, who was in the person today doing
scam Scam.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
How'd that go? That's all you got? First, Kates about
the Western Bagel appearance, It went great.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
The door kicked open, and always saw the Duke of
Sports walk in, and for a second in the commercial break,
I thought I was gonna be a hot sports take
from the Duke, you know, wanting to get Steve so
had an opinion.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Was the Western Bengel there for Bill Handle or was
the Western Bagel there for Steve Sack?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I think the Western Bagel guy was here just to
drop off bagels to everybody at iHeart.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
He just showed up all of a sudden. A guy
walks in with a bag full of bagels and creamy.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Did the mascot have a hand like Bailey the lion
doesn't just go around solo. No, the handler handler.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah, the handler had this huge bag of bagels and
cream cheese, and the bagels are all blue. I'm sending
you guys a picture right now. And then right behind
the handler it comes in the Western Bagel Guy, Eastern
Bagel Guy.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Bagelmala, the Uganda Giant had a handler.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Yes, exactly right, just like that Bagel Brad with his
dead eyes. Well, how in the studio they are pretty
dead matter dead eyes?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
And what was the Steve Saxon's reaction to the bagel guy.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Well, Saxy loved Bagel Brad and they took a picture together,
and Saxy made a joke about the donut or excuse me,
the bagel and the bagel guy didn't really laugh.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Well, that's the thing about they're not supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
They're not gonna they're not supposed to make any noise.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I don't speak right, And so there was some times
they make a weeping noise in there. I don't really
hear very very faint weeping noise. Sometimes you can hear
if you really, if you really well.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
A few seconds later then uh, Saxy kind of backed
up and then took two steps forward and kicked the
bagel guy with his left Foot's.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
A black belt, just kicked him. A supreme athlete, super
swollen and like a tenth degree black belt.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
He's been long, long time, long time karate expert. Judo
like Sacks is an old school eighties karate exactly, which
is way cooler than zach Elk, who had like a
field day talking to Sacks during the breaks.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Oh you should have seen these guys talking.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
About doing holds on each other.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yeah, taikwan.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
There's one where you reach around from behind and you
grab the other guy's puzzo and switch around and then
you you gently.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Really while he's doing all that, bs Sacks reaches into
his belt, pulls out a Chinese star and some nun
chucks to goes to town Chuck Norris style nineteen eighties Sacks.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Sacks also is the the the originator of the Chalk
and the Eye from blood Sport.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yes correction attractions on me. It was a right foot,
a right foot kick to bigel breath. So he kicked
the mascot gently.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
I had you, but I'm not going to share it with.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
But that so eighties though, like only in the eighties
did you do the karate kick to the mascot. You know,
there's no bullying of the mascots anymore. That's why our
society is so soft now, Sacks is real eighties.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I love it. Karate joke. It did not get a response,
So now it's time to do the karate kick. So
what happened? Did it kick the dead eyes on a
whack or what it? Like?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
What?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
It was just a.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Soft right foot extended almost like a robot came back.
And the crazy thing is he went, hi Yah, didnt
knock the bagel brad back too far?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Too far?
Speaker 5 (07:36):
It just kind of like just stood there.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I mean, didn't really do it.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
And this just goes to show how rumors spread because
you know, the Duke of Sports and a lot of
people saw this and talked about it, and of course
it's the talk of the Bengel town. They're talking about
it at Noah's Begels.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
They're talking about it and Bengels, our eyes, Einstein's oh everywhere.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Well, the Duke went and told Gary and Shannon, and
so they were talking about it on K five.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Right, and and the rumor was that Sacks punched a
hole through the enter, just a full and post punch
blood sport ah and uh, and that did not happen.
The video clearly shows that that did not.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah, barely even in contact with the bagel, I mean,
just brushed it. If this was an all everything bagel,
just knocked a couple of the flakes.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Off, you know, poppy seats everywhere, there's poppy seeds, all
of it.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Come on, Kate, send us the video.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You can't trumise.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I promise I will not post it. I problem.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Well, if Carry and Shannon talked about it on KFI,
why can't we have the video Sacks kicking.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
The photo at post kick or pre kick? Uh pre kick? Yeah,
see bagel. Bret's having a good time.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And yeah, do you think the bagel is like somewhere
right now, like head in hands, like my god, he got.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Kicked me, kicked me right in the solar plexus, knock
the wind out of me.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I think it was like more like a kickboxing kick,
you know where you kick the guy's shin, you know,
like one of those type of kids. It wasn't the shin,
but you did, like a roundhouse kid like Chuck Norris.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
It barely even I don't even think it touched the bagel.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Brad, Hey, send us the goddamn video, Kates right now.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
There's a way to send the video and have it
like explode and delete so Matt can't resend it.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I promise I will not post it. I simply want
to see the contact. I am just pretty to see
the connection.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I mean, look, everybody's excited about the World series, none
more than Steve Sachs, karate expert and Dodger legend. Oh
my god, there's the Begel walking. That Bengel's tall. Look
at the size of that half. Oh I'm watching it
right now. I'm watching it right now. Oh look at
scam is blowing up. Oh look at there's the blue Bengels.
Oh god, that guy's got a beautiful head of hair.
(09:49):
Oh my god, I love it.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
You know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna come over
here and just give you a little love kick.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
All right, And that wasn't bad.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, I didn't push the bagel at allgels.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah, if HR sees that, they're like, whatever, get out
of here, bagel. Look at God?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Hi, Yeah, it's the sex over there.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
How about the handler? Handler's got some high air? I
thought that.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Beautiful head of hair. Yeah, you know that the handler
looked like looks like that U. C. L A.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
S Id the basketball guy. Oh beautiful hair, yes, beautif hair.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Beautiful?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
God, look those dead eyes.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, well look, Matt, you gotta how many bagels do
you think that guy has shot right through people? We've
all seen exactly the Western bagel guy. You know, he
clears leather in a hurry and shoots you with a bagel.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Exactly right.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
And uh and and so you you'd expect for him
to have seen some things.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
What kind of uh, what kind of sweet tooth bagel
and super sweet shmear did they bring you today?
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Kate's just regular cream cheese, reduced fat cream cheese, and
about it does and blue dyed just plain bagels.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Right now, some mid car jobber at KFI is just
choking on like a stale bagel from six this morning.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
That's happening right now.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yes, I'm a mid court Jobber, and this is what
I have to know. Let's get to New Yon with
an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the Vass
Report with David Vasse. We all love David Vasse and
the work he's doing is unparalleled. Dodger world series, historic series,
(11:38):
historic circumstance. And who's in the middle of it all
David Vase on the Southern California Toyota. Neither celebrity hotline,
MLB Network, Spectrum Sports Net, but our guy on AM
five seven e LA Sports bringing you the latest from
the Dodgers. And I'm sure he's so happy to have
Don Martin right there at his hip at Yankee. Hello, Dave,
(12:01):
how's it going out there?
Speaker 6 (12:03):
It's going great. A little chili. It's in the high
fifties right now. The temperatures are going to be dipping
as we get closer to the first pitch. I'm standing
on the field in front of the Dodgers dugout while
the Yankees are taking betting practice. So very festive media
assembly here at Yankee Stadium, not as chaotic as it
(12:25):
was at Dodger Stadium, but a lot of media without
without a doubt here covering uh a world series that
obviously has put a lot of viewers and listeners on
their years watching these two teams go at it, let
me go, don't'll be in instead?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Is that for you?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
That for us? Were you speaking Puerto Rico to.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
No?
Speaker 6 (12:50):
That was my guy? That was the new Dodger reliever,
the young flamethrower Hernandez.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Right, yeah, beautiful. Sorry, Dave, I was mid question when
he rolled over and said, Hello, what's the deal with
Otani's shoulder? What do you know? What can you tell us?
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Well? Otani text his teammates there's a group thread, and
Max Mounsey, again taking us inside, told us about the
group chat that the Dodgers players have, and as they
were boarding their playing after game two on what was
it Saturday night, Otani text his teammates, I'll be fine,
(13:32):
I'll be ready for Game three, And here he is
in the starting lineup for Game three. He showed up
late at the workout last night here at Yankee Stadium,
obviously flying after getting treatment and an MRI, but he
did come to Yankee Stadium. He did take some swing
from the batting cage just to test out that left shoulder.
(13:53):
Dave Roberts was convinced. Andrew Friedman was convinced, and he's
in the starting lineups.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
The Dodgers on the Road is brought to you by
Babbling Instant Oil Change Almo, a fifteen minute oil change,
no appointment needed, Stay in your Car service with locations
throughout southern California. Find the location near you at so
caloil change dot com. David Vesse is most definitely on
the road, Dave. You were out there in New York
when the Dodgers were battling the Mets in the series previous.
(14:22):
The Yankees are a much bigger deal in New York.
You intimated that, but they're down oh too. And not
only that, but the Dodgers have this crazy emotional edge
from Game one. Has that been a bit of a
deflator or do you think the Yankees have some lead
in their pencil tonight.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Well, the fans are very excited about the World Series
being here for the first time since two thousand and nine.
That's the last time the Yankees were in the World Series.
It was the first year New Yankee Stadium was built,
so there is a lot of excitement to have the
scene shifted here. I think deflating part will come after
(15:02):
first pitch to see the way this game goes. A
lot of the New York media believe that Aaron Judge
strikes out in his first at back, he is going
to get booed by the sellout crowd at Yankee Stadium.
So look, I know everybody in the Major League Baseball
world the East Coast is trying to come up with
different scenarios of teams and reasons why the Yankees can
(15:25):
come back from down O two. But if you really
take a step back and just remove the pin stripes
and just look at the tail of the tape between
these two rosters, the Yankees, there's an argument to be
made that they're not even one of the top two
teams in uh other movments. I'm guess I'm in somebody's shots.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
They're one of the.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Top two teams, one of the top two teams.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
That uh.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
The World Series. But yeah, sorry, guy rattled me. As
I know. Sorry, there's people here, there's people here. We're
gonna be in the way anyway. The Yankees might be
the eighth best team that made the postseason, they just
had an easier path to get to the World Series
the Royals and the Guardians. While the Dodgers arguably played
the best team in in Major League Baseball that was
(16:15):
eliminated the San Diego Padres.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Dave. When we talked to you on Friday, you were
talking about what some scouts or coaches had kind of
told you about Judge and just kind of how disciplined
he'd been, how he's not chasing. How have the Dodgers
counteracted that and managed to make this a real mess
for him in the World Series.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Well, they've spinned him to death. A lot of curveballs
from Jack Clarity, That's what they've been giving him a
steady diet of. And they've just been exploiting Aaron Judges holes.
And you got to give a lot of credit to
the Dodgers advanced scouts for, you know, deploying actual scouts
instead of just looking at video to follow the Yankees
the entire postseason. And a lot of the Dodger people
(16:59):
believe that the Guardians did not pitch Aaron Judge and
John Carlos Stanton very smartly, and they're exploiting those two guys. Honestly,
the only guy it seems like the Dodgers are treating
with kay Gloves is Juan Soto who's a great hitter,
who's going to take his walks, And right now Judge
and Stanton are not doing that.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
What about the pitching matchup tonight, Dave, do you think
Wapper Bueler's up for it?
Speaker 6 (17:27):
I believe he is. He's not going to scare away
the way some Dodger players have described the Yankee starter,
Clark Schmidt, to me, is kind of like a poor
man's Michael King, same style, but not as good. So honestly, guys,
riding the bus with a lot of the core players
to the stadium today, I get a sense that they don't.
(17:48):
They obviously respect their opponent, but they're not intimidated by
anything the Yankees are going to throw at him, and
they just feel like they're better.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Last thing, Dave just would love to look back. I mean,
obviously he had a chance to talk with Freddy on
the field after the Grand Slam. That's special and incredible,
one of the greatest moments in Dodger history, especially if
they go on to win the World Series. But I
think because of that game, and because of Sho hail Tani,
perhaps that for whatever reason, I feel like Yamamoto gets
overlooked and I get it, he made a lot of money,
(18:18):
But like, that start was incredible. How big of a
deal was that start? Not to mention the Game five
start and what this guy has given this team in
the postseason.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Yeah, that was his best start since he pitched against
the Yankees June seventh, right here at Yankee Stadium. That's
when he went seven scoreless. I believe he had thirteen strikeouts.
But yeah, Yamamoto, from what teammates have told me, the
first game he pitched this postseason, he wasn't sure what
to expect, and maybe the game got fast on him
(18:50):
and he was overwhelmed. But then you saw him come
back and pitch really well in his last start as well.
So what he did in Game two was significant because
the momentum of Freddy's walkoff Grand Slam would have been
lost if he gave up three or four runs in
the first couple of innings. So for him to put
up zeros and to continue to shut the Yankees lineup
(19:11):
down certainly had as big of an effect on the
Dodgers being up two oh than anything else, because they
only scored four runs and they were all on home
runs never tacked on after that. So for him to
do what he did and only give up one hit
was monumental. And look, you guys can appreciate this. Diles
make fights, whether it's football, boxing, baseball. Yamamoto split fingered
(19:35):
fastball and curveball was on point in Game two. That's
exactly what he did to the Yankees on June seventh.
They had no answers for him then, and they certainly
didn't have any answers in Game two.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
The Great David Vasse being hustled around New Yankee Stadium
bringing you the coverage like the champion that he is,
the valvelin on the road, instant oil change Report. Thank you, Dave,
and have a great night, good luck.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Thank you guys, Thanks Dave. I want in on this.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I mean, I know Aaron Judges isn't doing that great,
but I mean, are the Dodgers really exploiting all his holes?
I mean, I think that's a little it's a little
bit of a scriptive.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
He's got them tiny little teeth.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I mean, didn't he get new teeth?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
No, you still got the tiny ones.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Well, no wonder Freddy Freeman's outperforming and everybody in LA
is getting for nears.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Bite your ear off.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Oh, doctor Conning, took about four billion goals.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Gotta get rid of them baby teeth, Aaron.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
We'll be back with more great sports talk on m
FI seventy LA Sports the top story of the day.
How is your weekend? We're going all the way till
four o'clock when it all gets started. Morocango Casino, Dodgers
on deck. It looks like you did fix his teeth,
(21:01):
Matt Oh did he Yeah, Yeah, that's a word on
the street. Oh, they look a lot better than they
used to.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
He got a big head.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Well, he's six ' eight.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, he's a giant, giant person, frankensteinhead.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah. I think it's it's deceiving just how huge he is.
Like he's bigger than most football players, you know, almost
three hundred pounds if you had the hat and the cleats.
Welcome back, everybody. It's Pettersson money, New York City. It's
on everybody's mind. Tonight, Dodgers Game three of the World Series.
Walker Buehler Clark Schmidt is the pitching matchup. He's a
(21:35):
poor man's king. That's what David Veasse said in the
last segment. World Series Covers, brought to you in part
by Chef Merito seasonings seasoning partner of the Dodgers World Series.
Time it's time to bring out the chef and you
all right, it's time with the top story of the
day of all.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Right, let's do let's talk Walker Buhler, Mike, the Dodgers
need him for a Game seven, perhaps not based on
the conversation, would just have David Vessa and kind of
how they're feeling and some of the seam heads out
there are feeling. I have no issues if Walker Bueller's
the guy to take the mound in a Game seven.
After that eight to nothing shut out in Game three
against the Mets, where the talk going into it.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Was he likes the cold, he's used to the corner
built its frigid.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Six strikeouts in that game. Now, that was just four innings,
but it was a second inning that provided the nightmare.
A thirty two pitch inning, two seven pitch at bats,
one six pitch at bat, two of them ending in walks,
a BS dribbler of an infield hit. Next thing you know,
thirty two for the inning, forty nine total through two
despite not giving up a single run. So I get
(22:41):
While it was a shutout performance from Buehler, pitch total
high high in a hurry. So when I say I
think we're going to see something special from Walker Buehler tonight,
I'm not talking about a dominating win. I'm not talking
about his electric stuff that defined him early in his career,
talking about that personality, man, oh yeah, haven't the bulldog?
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Talking about selflessness, talking about ultimate sacrifice. The anti Josh Hater,
remember that burnout, that filthy, dirty hesher. Hater refused to
pitch more than one inning for the Padres last season
because he was headed into free agency, didn't want to
risk any potential precious market team's coming off a trip
(23:29):
to the NLCS the season prior. That position very well,
his position, you could argue, cost them the final playoff spot.
They would have loved to have brought in Hater for
a two inning save in San Francisco late in the season,
only to call on Suarez, who blew it and they
were out Diamondbacks in with an eighty four and seventy
eight record. Can you blame Hater like you just said,
(23:49):
Pete and no looking out for himself, not for his
team pitcher who throws one hundred miles an hour plus
pitch in pitch out looking to get a hundred million
dollars deal five But that's who he is, that's who
that hesher. Josh Hater is. He's in the Josh Hater business.
He was not in the San Diego Padre business. Now,
(24:10):
they could have extended him, they chose not to. They
gave him a one year deal in arbitration I think
an arbitration plus fourteen million bucks for the single season.
They could have given him a long term, they chose
not to. He helps the Padres win their first ever
World Series by acquiescing to their requests of pitching multiple
innings at pretty special but that was never going to
be the case. And hey, for Hater, you could argue
(24:31):
it worked out five years, ninety five million bucks from
the Houston Astros and he immediately craps the bed, loses
seven games, blows five saves for Era, and then he
blows Game two of the wild Card against the Tigers.
He got his money. He's thirty, he's a man or
ten years from being a man, and that was his choice. Now,
(24:52):
that's a lot of hater to set this up by now,
but it was a big deal and it was pretty polarizing.
Some understood why he did it get the money while
it's there pitcher's arms, who knows what the hell's going
to happen? And that brings us to Walker Bueler All
season long, it feels like we've heard or we've talked
about this being the end of the road for Walker
(25:15):
Buler and the Dodgers. He's making eight million bucks this year,
he's about to finally hit free agency.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
It's not jump change, it's not hater money. But if
you're not a chump change, you're right. I'm not making
light of it.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Pee. I'm not suggesting making thirty million bucks for pitching,
especially with the injuries and not pitching a drop and
not pitching. You know, some of that is not pitching.
He's making that thirty million bucks for It's not a
drop in the bucket. It's a lot of money enough
that you're set for life, as long as you're smart
(25:48):
about how you invest it. You figure taxes, agent fees,
all that sort of stuff. You know, whatever that may
come to, as long as you're smart. And I do
think we have a peek and how Walker Buehler has
an best of his money welcome in.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
This is the the shoe room kind of got all
the memorabilia stuff all around. Oh wow, bats from all
teammates and old shoes and stuff. But these are probably
my favorite ones. The sp Supreme, the Lasers I got,
the little kind of guccy accents. My big thing on
game is that we're all black. And then a pair
of shoes that I like. I wore these in a
(26:22):
playoff game. I think part of the craziest pair of
the ones that I'm like the luckiest to have. It's
the purple skunk dunk. They got literally like a skunk
in there. It's number two oh three. They only made
four and twenty of them. Something were probably my biggest,
baddest pair.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
He's a dead stock shoe had so I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I don't know how much of his money is gone.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
It's even more disturbing than the Saint Christopher protect us
with the eagle fighting the snake back tattoo.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Hey sneakers are worth a lot of money. And you
see he got the skunk dunk and there's only four
hundred and three made. Okay, so four hundred twenty made
obviously for him.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
To quick looks like there's like two hundred and fourteen
other ones.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Yeah. Now, listen, he said he wore those with the playoffs,
you know, the black and.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
He got his bougie watch snatch too.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
He did. That's exactly right. So we got one hundred
thousand dollars watch, we got all the dead stock. We
got thirty racehorses. That's not volatile a racehorse. Listen, they
eat while we're all sleeping.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
That's what my grandfather always said, don't buy something and
eats while you sleep.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
But here's what I'm getting Walker Buler, all right, let's
get back to that. I couldn't resist. I'm sorry, Walk.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
So you're saying, man, he's been.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Selfless exactly twenty eight shock. I believe, Yes, I believe.
I believe. That's what we're gonna see. Twenty eighteen through
twenty twenty one. Walker Buler is nails. He helps this
team win the twenty twenty COVID Classic World Series. He
starts ninety two games on that stretch. That's just eight
in that sixty game season of two hundred and twenty twenty,
(28:04):
struck out over six hundred guys in his career, has
a whip under a thousand. He is nails World Series
Championship year starts five games in that playoff run one run,
four times, two runs once. This is our guy. I
love watching Yamamoto pitch. It's art, it's beautiful, it's effortless,
it's brilliance. The Jack Flaherty story is incredible. Harvard Westlake
(28:25):
grew up a Dodger fan. Could be celebrating a World
series title for his childhood team. Incredible. Without him, They're
not here. It's a storybook. But this is the guy.
Walker Bueller is our guy. To put all the karmic
energy into all the positive thoughts and vibes and energy waves,
and you release them into the ether for Walker Buehler,
(28:46):
dominate this start because it could be his last as
a Dodger. Who knows what they're looking at this offseason.
Corbyn Burns, Max Freed the latest Japanese ax sport, the
Sasaki guy that might get posted. That's great. Every fan
should want their team to spend all the money by
the players, because they wouldn't do it if they couldn't
afford it. So either all those millions of dollars, hundreds
(29:07):
of millions of dollars go into the pockets of Mark
Walter and his people and their financial portfolios, and that's
hard to cheer for as a fan. I don't know
where you would start. Or it goes into players on
the field, yay, easy to cheer for as a fan.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
The dow is up, yay.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yet at the same time, with all those guys, with
all the players he's bought, There's something special about Will
Smith and the cheese burger casserole. There's something special about
Max Munsey plucking a fat die off the scrap heap
designated for assignment Clears Waivers signs a minor league deal
with the Dodgers, has to play one hundred and nine
(29:45):
games in Oklahoma City before he gets a promotion at
twenty seven. Those are the guys. Taosa Hernandez feels like
he's been here his whole career based on just what
his impact has been, and he's.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Gonna be gone. He's gonna play his last two games
as a Dodger here.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Yes, that's it. He'll get a hundred million dollar deal
somewhere else. Dodgers will look for the next day. Oscar
Freddy's another Sokel guy as Pops. It was incredible, the emotions,
the moment, what you felt watching the Grand Slam here
in the postgame interview about his father. Gives you all
the warm fuzzies and the good feelings, no doubt, but today, tonight,
this is the one. There is no player on this
(30:21):
team that is more a Dodger than Walker. Buehler, drafted
in the first round of the twenty fifteen draft, slid
because he needed Tommy John out for a year and
a half. Six right handed pitchers selected ahead of him,
Dylan Tate, Carson Fulmer, Ucla Bruin, James Capellian, Phil Bickford,
Ash Russell bo Burrows, all selected ahead of Bueler. Their
(30:43):
combined Major League Baseball record forty and fifty eight, all
six of them.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
That's Stoner, Bickford.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Walker, Buhler's forty seven and twenty two. And he got
a late start because he missed half of twenty two,
and then because of the beginning, and then his second
Tommy John misses half of twenty two, all of twenty three,
half of twenty four, And thanks to the second Tommy John,
he's back.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
He's battled back, and it hasn't been easy. And I
think that's what uh you you've come to appreciate, and
I can't on the active roster of people who are
playing for the Dodgers. Yeah, I mean you got you
got the old goat kershaws.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Right, But.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Yeah, Walker Bueller is is he's the inspiring story this year.
And he's kind of changed from being a really kind
of cocky and combative guy with the media to somebody
who's more thoughtful, Like he's definitely a serious person. I mean,
what what serious person doesn't collect shoes?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
But don't ask me about my pants. I'm a serious person.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
But but he he definitely become a lot more thoughtful
and maybe a little bit more appreciative of what he's
been given. And I think the Dodgers have done a
good job of sticking by him, yes, because they could have.
They could have just said it's not happening. Yeah, it's
not working and I want to fire. But guess it
would have happened no matter what. Once Glassmow went down
(32:04):
speaking to.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Him, Walker Bueller was the Dodgers Minor League pitcher of
the year. Went from A to Double A to triple
A in the same season. September call up, first game,
two inning, shutout, ball, first strikeout. Charlie Blackman started the
next season second start, much like Ross Stripley took a
no hitter through six against the padres lifted Dodgers got
(32:25):
to combine no hitter. I don't know if Walker Buller's
I don't know if anyone in Walker Buller's life cried
until Dave Roberts thank you. I don't know. As a rookie,
he started the tiebreaker game in Colorado, one hitter over
six and two thirds. He started opening days, he started
playoff series, he started World Series games in one. He's
a winner. And you mentioned Kershaw. He's been overshadowed by
(32:47):
Kershaw's brilliance ever since he's been a Dodger, and now
it's on him and with Tyler Glass now who you
mentioned pe being little more than an Abercrombie and Fitch.
Check out my abs during my shirtless celebration model this postseason,
Walker Buehler's got a chance to put his stamp on it,
fade accompany with a win tonight, and I want it
to happen, and every Dodger fan should want it to happen.
(33:09):
So let's shove all that positive energy his direction and
see whether or not this badass bulldog can get it
going on the mound at Yankee Stadium, because it would
be fitting that he be the guy that damned near
on this thing.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Deeply inspiring, Matt. And after Bieler wins, you know, he's
gonna take it up to the dirty Boulevard. He's going down.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
He's gonna get some dead stock on Maxwell Street.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
To the Dirty Boulevard going out, He's going up. All right,
we'll be right back. When how was your weekend? Dodgers
World Series Game three? Walker Buelder's starting against a guy
named Schmidt, being many of those welcome back just in money.
(34:00):
We started it too. You could podcast everything on the
iHeartRadio app. We're gonna start it two again tomorrow. We
hope you're enjoying it. Dodgers Yankees Tonight World Series Game
three and the Dodgers are up to Oh what a
time to be alive. It is now time for how
is your weekend? I'm gonna do what I do. The
weekend is mine. So how was your weekend? Well, Matt, Matt.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
I did what I preached, And normally I don't do
what I say. I suggest other people do things that
I don't follow through on because I have no follow through.
But I did, uh, I did make my way out
to the Seal Beach Grill. I wanted to watch the
Dodger game with a group of people and be around
uh you know, others and Dodger fans, and there are
a few Yankee fans in there. And it was a
great charged up atmosphere. Uh, Freedy and Cunningham and Cooper.
(34:54):
The wife showed up, had a bunch of beers. It
was incredible. I ate fish and chips because that was
special for the night.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
This is the one guy I want to watch baseball
way that's free Dy exactly right.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Former former Bosco Brave no Mar's best friend when they
run the baseball team together. As a matter of fact,
So got a little guy that was real seamhead made
me feel like an idiot. Managed to cut it off
in time to avoid the hangover. Next morning, surfed in
the am, hit up the home depot and needed a
new pressure washer. So pulled a little bit of a
Ronnie there. Sorry if you searched what you like to
talk about, Ronnie, but hey, I had to do some
(35:26):
handyman chores, put the grill back together, unpack the hot
real third world problems here, you know, So I had
to knock that out and then Saturday night over the
de Ruiders for Game two was a sort of Halloween
party with a bunch of sant Hedwig families. I dressed
up as a burnout. It's very hard to secure that costume.
Sunday up surfing again. It was very foggy and much
(35:47):
like Saturday morning. I got lost out there for a
second before i'd kind of get my bearings. Probably not
the smartest thing, but hey whatever. So far Charger Saints
saw our friend Steve van Dorn he was there, ran
into him in the concourse with our friend Mike. So
great to see them. Great game, got some touchdowns. Lad
McConkie sensational, as was Herbert. But the biggest development was
that DJ had no idea that nine to five was
(36:09):
a movie that was the halftime score. So they were
playing nine to five. He's like, oh, I love this
song by Dolly, and I was like, yeah, bummer, we
lost Dabney Coleman earlier this year. He goes, who Dolly
parton rore?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Yeah, but you know with all that weird sato masochistic
outfit that they made dab me and that would upset
DJ's countenance.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Yeah, I believe maybe it's very disappointing, But yeah, that
was the got home in time for dinner and did
the beer with the Instagram post game rap. So yeah,
that was the weekend. Beer and Bucket had beer and
Bucket had JoJo's bucket hat exactly right.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
What a way to make a living, right all right?
Kates Testify had a busy weekend, guys.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Started on Friday after the Dodgers on Deck pregame show.
Raced down to Dodger Stadium to get there for Game
one of the World Series. Got there late, first inning,
no traffic, believe it or not, everybody got there early,
so I had a nice smooth drive into the stadium,
got in there to watch an historic game. Stayed the
entire time. Could not believe what I saw was high fiving,
(37:07):
chess bumping.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
I heard it's the word on the street.
Speaker 5 (37:11):
I was in the.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Loads level maybe section eight, kind of right behind the
home plate, standing behind the last row, and a crowd gathered.
As the game got going, We're talking to guys. And
then when the game ended, as it did, I found
myself hugging and chess bumping and high fiving people all
in the area. It was awesome. Nobody knew what to do?
They were just standing around. The players on the field
were just standing around. Guys like Otani were just like,
(37:32):
what do we do? We've never this is unbelievable. It
was a surreal experience. I will never forget in my life,
that is for sure. Saturday had Dodger pre game, also
studio hosts for Compass Media Networks LSU Texas A and
M game, and then on Sunday Sunday had Raiders all
day in studio pre half in post. So yeah, busy
(37:52):
weekend of working another l and then scam this morning
and scam this morning, six am, scam this one. What
kind of food will we get tomorrow? We had Western
Megle today.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
I mean, you're probably gonna have a cop show off.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
And a rest of teams stacked to the chest.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Ronnie guys.
Speaker 8 (38:09):
Had a nice weekend.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Of course.
Speaker 8 (38:11):
Saturday morning I got up early to go get a haircut,
ransom errands around town. And one thing I noticed that
the obvious was that all of the people that I
saw out and about, all wearing your Dodger gear, all
had big smiles on their face, seemed to be in
anticipation of something special that was about to take place.
And sure enough it did, as the Dodger did win
(38:32):
Game two. I did watch the Lakers game. I did
have my head on a swivel with usc as well.
Sunday slept in and watched NFL foosball, made some victory
buttermilk pancakes for my wife and myself, and just hung
out with the dogs the rest of the day. That
was it. That was my weekend. Exciting weekend.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
That is exciting.
Speaker 8 (38:53):
What about you, Petros?
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Why do you didn't say where you watching game?
Speaker 8 (38:55):
I watched the game at home. Watch the game at
home with the family.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Hashtag me too, except no family. I was alone in
my basement, as prophesized, which is unfortunate, but that's that's
what I do.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Prophesized, I have a vision.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
That's what Matt said. Matt, you said you're gonna watch
it alone. You should go out, And I said, oh,
and I don't have any plans.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
You should have come down. Freddie would have made room.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
I could have been, well, you were getting after my freedi,
your baseball opinion, and Kate's is out there chest bumping
cholos and Ronnie's you know, high five minutes family. My
kids wanted to watch YouTube shorts upstairs. So uh there
was flag football and yoga. And I went to uh
litigator Dad's house for game two and there was other
(39:43):
people there there. We go I did get did that
for game two and I said, hey, that guy, I said,
Otani hurt his shoulder and everybody's like, no, it's just risk.
I said, no, trust me. I think his shoulder probably sublexed.
It popped out and popped back in, and he's like no,
looking it up. I was like, you know what, I
can't watch this with these people. They disagree with me.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
I can't have them disagree with it.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
I can't live like this. They couldn't do it. I did.
I came right back here. I said, I have to
kile at home. I could back and drink there.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
You idiots can't deal with you.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
I had a sublexing shoulder all through high school. Mike
still pops out to this day. And what do I
do what Otani should have done? Go over and bang
your hand on the bench until you get your feeling back.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Yeah, Mel Gibson, lethal weapon style.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Yeah, but he had to put it back in. See
the siblexing means it just comes out and comes back in,
and the first time it happens, it is frightening. And
I think that's what happened to Otani. Happened to me
my junior year in high school. It scares you, although
still like you hurt your shoulder. Get up anyway. Uh,
my daughter had to read her prayer at the Lutheran
church on Sunday. I went to the Lutheran church. She did,
(40:54):
great County's not afraid to perform. Yeah, and some it
was Reformation Day with the red and the indulgences. And
somebody tweeted out a picture of fat Martin Luther and
a picture of me at my fattest and said happy
Reformation Day. Well and then I did pilate, said the
yoga studio, and the union guy wasn't there either.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Are you sure?
Speaker 1 (41:16):
I said, maybe he'll be a pilates plate.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Maybe that's what he shifted.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
I did have the yoga horse pilates.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Are there a lot of dudes and pilates?
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Maybe there was one or two others, mostly chicks. I
was the only guy in the class today.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (41:30):
At the yoga place, you got on the reformer. What's
the one? No mahina no mai, no machina no no.
Uh and that was my weekend. Other than that, just
general farting around. Thank you everybody, and we'll be back.
We have another hour of great sports talk. We look
forward to another hour of great sports.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Talk, and then Dodger Baseball.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
I have such an exciting time, Matt.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Let's go watch it with someone. Let me see what
Fredi's doing.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
Coop call Fredi, Coop, tell him I'll beat him. At
the Town Palace and Golden Cove.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
They serve glizzies, and it's a bad day to be
a glizzy.
Welcome three hours a great sports dot to the Petros
and Money Show on air at AM five seventy LA
Sports with the ability to really go anywhere and do anything,
streaming everywhere with the iHeartRadio app hosted by Mad Money Smith.
Check out the Fit and Petros Papadakas. That's what we
like to hear.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Here.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
They are on your home of the La Dodgers in
sinnc and down the Green Petros and Money, Drosen Money,
Rosen Money, Rosny. Somebody's boring me. I think it's me.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Going it out. Vic Petro by seventy year old.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Oh no, Matt, what happened? Vic is? Uh, you know it?
We're not it. We're not up there. I'll go up
there tomorrow, I guess, grab my board. But Vic is
not a He's not on today. And I heard he's sharp,
cogent and probing today. You know, he hems. He claims
(01:01):
to have predicted Freddy Freeman's home ron Christ He did
say Dodgers in seven though, so the Yankees got to
pick it up.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Well, you know, they do have the next three in
the Bronx. They did very good there. Still the game
team with the second best record in all of baseball.
You would assume the idea of a sweep seems a
bit far fetched, but.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
They had a prophecy. I guess can you confirm.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
That cash this in between twelve and two? Is he
not able to do that?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I think Rodney tried to make a fool of him.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Well that's not okay, Let's bring Vic on and celebrate him.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Well, we have to put Dave on in a few minutes.
I mean, it's a big World Series action today, Matt.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Are you just trying to tip your cap before we
get to the galloping Motors broadcast eight pm? Is that?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah? I feel bad because the guy was like Rodney
made You know, a few people have been like Rodney
made a fool of Vic. And Vic is coaching and
sharp and probing today. And Vic was right about his
Freddie Freeman prediction, and of course one of the great
moments in the history of Dodger baseball, and all the
parallels with Kirk Gibson and all the wonderful things that
(02:07):
we all were thinking and that had been said since then,
everybody talking about it, talk of the town, all the
morning shows, news people, No Colin, Colin Coward needed to
talk about Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah, two and six jets got to get into that.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
And a lot of people were a little bit upset,
texting me at nine am. Look what is this? What
is the iheartfeed? Where's Roman and Rodney? And that was
just a Friday thing, the All Day Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Pro kickoff, Right, we're kicking off the world series with
a special day of programming.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
But we can't cover up Colin cock callin. We can't.
We can't cock Colin because he gets to butt hurt,
which is you know, natural to be feeling butt hurt
when you get cocked. Just ask Dan Patrick who's been
being cucked by scam from Yeah scirm.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah. They had a poll question inside the DP offices,
Hey how long you think we're going to be off
the air? And the longest dates were five days off?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Five days man, Well, you you were like Isaiah, the
first prophet of Old Matt, very much like Isaiah when
the Dodgers were on the brink of elimination by the
Padres and you said, the Dodgers have to continue to
smite Dan Patrick, smite his heresy.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's too cocky. You could hear it, You could hear
the condescending tone in his Oh no doubt, we'll be
gone just for the week.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Probably not so because of that. I mean it is
really stretched and stretched like Caromello, like stretch Armstrong, like
any of the references that have been made here. Over
the years, Scam has become a beloved show in the
city of Los Angeles. People are gonna cry when it
(03:57):
goes away. It was a very exciting this morning. They
had the Western Begel mascot, the guy with the Western
hat that shoots off the Begels in a puff of
cream cheese.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I love that guy.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
He showed up today and his outfit guy just to
meet Steve Sacks, who was in the person today doing
scam Scam.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
How'd that go? That's all you got? First, Kates about
the Western Bagel appearance, It went great.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
The door kicked open, and always saw the Duke of
Sports walk in, and for a second in the commercial break,
I thought I was gonna be a hot sports take
from the Duke, you know, wanting to get Steve so
had an opinion.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Was the Western Bengel there for Bill Handle or was
the Western Bagel there for Steve Sack?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I think the Western Bagel guy was here just to
drop off bagels to everybody at iHeart.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
He just showed up all of a sudden. A guy
walks in with a bag full of bagels and creamy.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Did the mascot have a hand like Bailey the lion
doesn't just go around solo. No, the handler handler.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah, the handler had this huge bag of bagels and
cream cheese, and the bagels are all blue. I'm sending
you guys a picture right now. And then right behind
the handler it comes in the Western Bagel Guy, Eastern
Bagel Guy.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Bagelmala, the Uganda Giant had a handler.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Yes, exactly right, just like that Bagel Brad with his
dead eyes. Well, how in the studio they are pretty
dead matter dead eyes?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
And what was the Steve Saxon's reaction to the bagel guy.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Well, Saxy loved Bagel Brad and they took a picture together,
and Saxy made a joke about the donut or excuse me,
the bagel and the bagel guy didn't really laugh.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Well, that's the thing about they're not supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
They're not gonna they're not supposed to make any noise.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I don't speak right, And so there was some times
they make a weeping noise in there. I don't really
hear very very faint weeping noise. Sometimes you can hear
if you really, if you really well.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
A few seconds later then uh, Saxy kind of backed
up and then took two steps forward and kicked the
bagel guy with his left Foot's.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
A black belt, just kicked him. A supreme athlete, super
swollen and like a tenth degree black belt.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
He's been long, long time, long time karate expert. Judo
like Sacks is an old school eighties karate exactly, which
is way cooler than zach Elk, who had like a
field day talking to Sacks during the breaks.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Oh you should have seen these guys talking.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
About doing holds on each other.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yeah, taikwan.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
There's one where you reach around from behind and you
grab the other guy's puzzo and switch around and then
you you gently.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Really while he's doing all that, bs Sacks reaches into
his belt, pulls out a Chinese star and some nun
chucks to goes to town Chuck Norris style nineteen eighties Sacks.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Sacks also is the the the originator of the Chalk
and the Eye from blood Sport.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yes correction attractions on me. It was a right foot,
a right foot kick to bigel breath. So he kicked
the mascot gently.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
I had you, but I'm not going to share it with.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
But that so eighties though, like only in the eighties
did you do the karate kick to the mascot. You know,
there's no bullying of the mascots anymore. That's why our
society is so soft now, Sacks is real eighties.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I love it. Karate joke. It did not get a response,
So now it's time to do the karate kick. So
what happened? Did it kick the dead eyes on a
whack or what it? Like?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
What?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
It was just a.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Soft right foot extended almost like a robot came back.
And the crazy thing is he went, hi Yah, didnt
knock the bagel brad back too far?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Too far?
Speaker 5 (07:36):
It just kind of like just stood there.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I mean, didn't really do it.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
And this just goes to show how rumors spread because
you know, the Duke of Sports and a lot of
people saw this and talked about it, and of course
it's the talk of the Bengel town. They're talking about
it at Noah's Begels.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
They're talking about it and Bengels, our eyes, Einstein's oh everywhere.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Well, the Duke went and told Gary and Shannon, and
so they were talking about it on K five.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Right, and and the rumor was that Sacks punched a
hole through the enter, just a full and post punch
blood sport ah and uh, and that did not happen.
The video clearly shows that that did not.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah, barely even in contact with the bagel, I mean,
just brushed it. If this was an all everything bagel,
just knocked a couple of the flakes.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Off, you know, poppy seats everywhere, there's poppy seeds, all
of it.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Come on, Kate, send us the video.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You can't trumise.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I promise I will not post it. I problem.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Well, if Carry and Shannon talked about it on KFI,
why can't we have the video Sacks kicking.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
The photo at post kick or pre kick? Uh pre kick? Yeah,
see bagel. Bret's having a good time.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And yeah, do you think the bagel is like somewhere
right now, like head in hands, like my god, he got.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Kicked me, kicked me right in the solar plexus, knock
the wind out of me.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I think it was like more like a kickboxing kick,
you know where you kick the guy's shin, you know,
like one of those type of kids. It wasn't the shin,
but you did, like a roundhouse kid like Chuck Norris.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
It barely even I don't even think it touched the bagel.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Brad, Hey, send us the goddamn video, Kates right now.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
There's a way to send the video and have it
like explode and delete so Matt can't resend it.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I promise I will not post it. I simply want
to see the contact. I am just pretty to see
the connection.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I mean, look, everybody's excited about the World series, none
more than Steve Sachs, karate expert and Dodger legend. Oh
my god, there's the Begel walking. That Bengel's tall. Look
at the size of that half. Oh I'm watching it
right now. I'm watching it right now. Oh look at
scam is blowing up. Oh look at there's the blue Bengels.
Oh god, that guy's got a beautiful head of hair.
(09:49):
Oh my god, I love it.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
You know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna come over
here and just give you a little love kick.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
All right, And that wasn't bad.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, I didn't push the bagel at allgels.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah, if HR sees that, they're like, whatever, get out
of here, bagel. Look at God?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Hi, Yeah, it's the sex over there.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
How about the handler? Handler's got some high air? I
thought that.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Beautiful head of hair. Yeah, you know that the handler
looked like looks like that U. C. L A.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
S Id the basketball guy. Oh beautiful hair, yes, beautif hair.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Beautiful?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
God, look those dead eyes.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, well look, Matt, you gotta how many bagels do
you think that guy has shot right through people? We've
all seen exactly the Western bagel guy. You know, he
clears leather in a hurry and shoots you with a bagel.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Exactly right.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
And uh and and so you you'd expect for him
to have seen some things.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
What kind of uh, what kind of sweet tooth bagel
and super sweet shmear did they bring you today?
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Kate's just regular cream cheese, reduced fat cream cheese, and
about it does and blue dyed just plain bagels.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Right now, some mid car jobber at KFI is just
choking on like a stale bagel from six this morning.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
That's happening right now.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yes, I'm a mid court Jobber, and this is what
I have to know. Let's get to New Yon with
an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the Vass
Report with David Vasse. We all love David Vasse and
the work he's doing is unparalleled. Dodger world series, historic series,
(11:38):
historic circumstance. And who's in the middle of it all
David Vase on the Southern California Toyota. Neither celebrity hotline,
MLB Network, Spectrum Sports Net, but our guy on AM
five seven e LA Sports bringing you the latest from
the Dodgers. And I'm sure he's so happy to have
Don Martin right there at his hip at Yankee. Hello, Dave,
(12:01):
how's it going out there?
Speaker 6 (12:03):
It's going great. A little chili. It's in the high
fifties right now. The temperatures are going to be dipping
as we get closer to the first pitch. I'm standing
on the field in front of the Dodgers dugout while
the Yankees are taking betting practice. So very festive media
assembly here at Yankee Stadium, not as chaotic as it
(12:25):
was at Dodger Stadium, but a lot of media without
without a doubt here covering uh a world series that
obviously has put a lot of viewers and listeners on
their years watching these two teams go at it, let
me go, don't'll be in instead?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Is that for you?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
That for us? Were you speaking Puerto Rico to.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
No?
Speaker 6 (12:50):
That was my guy? That was the new Dodger reliever,
the young flamethrower Hernandez.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Right, yeah, beautiful. Sorry, Dave, I was mid question when
he rolled over and said, Hello, what's the deal with
Otani's shoulder? What do you know? What can you tell us?
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Well? Otani text his teammates there's a group thread, and
Max Mounsey, again taking us inside, told us about the
group chat that the Dodgers players have, and as they
were boarding their playing after game two on what was
it Saturday night, Otani text his teammates, I'll be fine,
(13:32):
I'll be ready for Game three, And here he is
in the starting lineup for Game three. He showed up
late at the workout last night here at Yankee Stadium,
obviously flying after getting treatment and an MRI, but he
did come to Yankee Stadium. He did take some swing
from the batting cage just to test out that left shoulder.
(13:53):
Dave Roberts was convinced. Andrew Friedman was convinced, and he's
in the starting lineups.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
The Dodgers on the Road is brought to you by
Babbling Instant Oil Change Almo, a fifteen minute oil change,
no appointment needed, Stay in your Car service with locations
throughout southern California. Find the location near you at so
caloil change dot com. David Vesse is most definitely on
the road, Dave. You were out there in New York
when the Dodgers were battling the Mets in the series previous.
(14:22):
The Yankees are a much bigger deal in New York.
You intimated that, but they're down oh too. And not
only that, but the Dodgers have this crazy emotional edge
from Game one. Has that been a bit of a
deflator or do you think the Yankees have some lead
in their pencil tonight.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Well, the fans are very excited about the World Series
being here for the first time since two thousand and nine.
That's the last time the Yankees were in the World Series.
It was the first year New Yankee Stadium was built,
so there is a lot of excitement to have the
scene shifted here. I think deflating part will come after
(15:02):
first pitch to see the way this game goes. A
lot of the New York media believe that Aaron Judge
strikes out in his first at back, he is going
to get booed by the sellout crowd at Yankee Stadium.
So look, I know everybody in the Major League Baseball
world the East Coast is trying to come up with
different scenarios of teams and reasons why the Yankees can
(15:25):
come back from down O two. But if you really
take a step back and just remove the pin stripes
and just look at the tail of the tape between
these two rosters, the Yankees, there's an argument to be
made that they're not even one of the top two
teams in uh other movments. I'm guess I'm in somebody's shots.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
They're one of the.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Top two teams, one of the top two teams.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
That uh.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
The World Series. But yeah, sorry, guy rattled me. As
I know. Sorry, there's people here, there's people here. We're
gonna be in the way anyway. The Yankees might be
the eighth best team that made the postseason, they just
had an easier path to get to the World Series
the Royals and the Guardians. While the Dodgers arguably played
the best team in in Major League Baseball that was
(16:15):
eliminated the San Diego Padres.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Dave. When we talked to you on Friday, you were
talking about what some scouts or coaches had kind of
told you about Judge and just kind of how disciplined
he'd been, how he's not chasing. How have the Dodgers
counteracted that and managed to make this a real mess
for him in the World Series.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Well, they've spinned him to death. A lot of curveballs
from Jack Clarity, That's what they've been giving him a
steady diet of. And they've just been exploiting Aaron Judges holes.
And you got to give a lot of credit to
the Dodgers advanced scouts for, you know, deploying actual scouts
instead of just looking at video to follow the Yankees
the entire postseason. And a lot of the Dodger people
(16:59):
believe that the Guardians did not pitch Aaron Judge and
John Carlos Stanton very smartly, and they're exploiting those two guys. Honestly,
the only guy it seems like the Dodgers are treating
with kay Gloves is Juan Soto who's a great hitter,
who's going to take his walks, And right now Judge
and Stanton are not doing that.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
What about the pitching matchup tonight, Dave, do you think
Wapper Bueler's up for it?
Speaker 6 (17:27):
I believe he is. He's not going to scare away
the way some Dodger players have described the Yankee starter,
Clark Schmidt, to me, is kind of like a poor
man's Michael King, same style, but not as good. So honestly, guys,
riding the bus with a lot of the core players
to the stadium today, I get a sense that they don't.
(17:48):
They obviously respect their opponent, but they're not intimidated by
anything the Yankees are going to throw at him, and
they just feel like they're better.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Last thing, Dave just would love to look back. I mean,
obviously he had a chance to talk with Freddy on
the field after the Grand Slam. That's special and incredible,
one of the greatest moments in Dodger history, especially if
they go on to win the World Series. But I
think because of that game, and because of Sho hail Tani,
perhaps that for whatever reason, I feel like Yamamoto gets
overlooked and I get it, he made a lot of money,
(18:18):
But like, that start was incredible. How big of a
deal was that start? Not to mention the Game five
start and what this guy has given this team in
the postseason.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Yeah, that was his best start since he pitched against
the Yankees June seventh, right here at Yankee Stadium. That's
when he went seven scoreless. I believe he had thirteen strikeouts.
But yeah, Yamamoto, from what teammates have told me, the
first game he pitched this postseason, he wasn't sure what
to expect, and maybe the game got fast on him
(18:50):
and he was overwhelmed. But then you saw him come
back and pitch really well in his last start as well.
So what he did in Game two was significant because
the momentum of Freddy's walkoff Grand Slam would have been
lost if he gave up three or four runs in
the first couple of innings. So for him to put
up zeros and to continue to shut the Yankees lineup
(19:11):
down certainly had as big of an effect on the
Dodgers being up two oh than anything else, because they
only scored four runs and they were all on home
runs never tacked on after that. So for him to
do what he did and only give up one hit
was monumental. And look, you guys can appreciate this. Diles
make fights, whether it's football, boxing, baseball. Yamamoto split fingered
(19:35):
fastball and curveball was on point in Game two. That's
exactly what he did to the Yankees on June seventh.
They had no answers for him then, and they certainly
didn't have any answers in Game two.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
The Great David Vasse being hustled around New Yankee Stadium
bringing you the coverage like the champion that he is,
the valvelin on the road, instant oil change Report. Thank you, Dave,
and have a great night, good luck.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Thank you guys, Thanks Dave. I want in on this.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I mean, I know Aaron Judges isn't doing that great,
but I mean, are the Dodgers really exploiting all his holes?
I mean, I think that's a little it's a little
bit of a scriptive.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
He's got them tiny little teeth.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I mean, didn't he get new teeth?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
No, you still got the tiny ones.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Well, no wonder Freddy Freeman's outperforming and everybody in LA
is getting for nears.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Bite your ear off.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Oh, doctor Conning, took about four billion goals.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Gotta get rid of them baby teeth, Aaron.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
We'll be back with more great sports talk on m
FI seventy LA Sports the top story of the day.
How is your weekend? We're going all the way till
four o'clock when it all gets started. Morocango Casino, Dodgers
on deck. It looks like you did fix his teeth,
(21:01):
Matt Oh did he Yeah, Yeah, that's a word on
the street. Oh, they look a lot better than they
used to.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
He got a big head.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Well, he's six ' eight.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, he's a giant, giant person, frankensteinhead.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah. I think it's it's deceiving just how huge he is.
Like he's bigger than most football players, you know, almost
three hundred pounds if you had the hat and the cleats.
Welcome back, everybody. It's Pettersson money, New York City. It's
on everybody's mind. Tonight, Dodgers Game three of the World Series.
Walker Buehler Clark Schmidt is the pitching matchup. He's a
(21:35):
poor man's king. That's what David Veasse said in the
last segment. World Series Covers, brought to you in part
by Chef Merito seasonings seasoning partner of the Dodgers World Series.
Time it's time to bring out the chef and you
all right, it's time with the top story of the
day of all.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Right, let's do let's talk Walker Buhler, Mike, the Dodgers
need him for a Game seven, perhaps not based on
the conversation, would just have David Vessa and kind of
how they're feeling and some of the seam heads out
there are feeling. I have no issues if Walker Bueller's
the guy to take the mound in a Game seven.
After that eight to nothing shut out in Game three
against the Mets, where the talk going into it.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Was he likes the cold, he's used to the corner
built its frigid.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Six strikeouts in that game. Now, that was just four innings,
but it was a second inning that provided the nightmare.
A thirty two pitch inning, two seven pitch at bats,
one six pitch at bat, two of them ending in walks,
a BS dribbler of an infield hit. Next thing you know,
thirty two for the inning, forty nine total through two
despite not giving up a single run. So I get
(22:41):
While it was a shutout performance from Buehler, pitch total
high high in a hurry. So when I say I
think we're going to see something special from Walker Buehler tonight,
I'm not talking about a dominating win. I'm not talking
about his electric stuff that defined him early in his career,
talking about that personality, man, oh yeah, haven't the bulldog?
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Talking about selflessness, talking about ultimate sacrifice. The anti Josh Hater,
remember that burnout, that filthy, dirty hesher. Hater refused to
pitch more than one inning for the Padres last season
because he was headed into free agency, didn't want to
risk any potential precious market team's coming off a trip
(23:29):
to the NLCS the season prior. That position very well,
his position, you could argue, cost them the final playoff spot.
They would have loved to have brought in Hater for
a two inning save in San Francisco late in the season,
only to call on Suarez, who blew it and they
were out Diamondbacks in with an eighty four and seventy
eight record. Can you blame Hater like you just said,
(23:49):
Pete and no looking out for himself, not for his
team pitcher who throws one hundred miles an hour plus
pitch in pitch out looking to get a hundred million
dollars deal five But that's who he is, that's who
that hesher. Josh Hater is. He's in the Josh Hater business.
He was not in the San Diego Padre business. Now,
(24:10):
they could have extended him, they chose not to. They
gave him a one year deal in arbitration I think
an arbitration plus fourteen million bucks for the single season.
They could have given him a long term, they chose
not to. He helps the Padres win their first ever
World Series by acquiescing to their requests of pitching multiple
innings at pretty special but that was never going to
be the case. And hey, for Hater, you could argue
(24:31):
it worked out five years, ninety five million bucks from
the Houston Astros and he immediately craps the bed, loses
seven games, blows five saves for Era, and then he
blows Game two of the wild Card against the Tigers.
He got his money. He's thirty, he's a man or
ten years from being a man, and that was his choice. Now,
(24:52):
that's a lot of hater to set this up by now,
but it was a big deal and it was pretty polarizing.
Some understood why he did it get the money while
it's there pitcher's arms, who knows what the hell's going
to happen? And that brings us to Walker Bueler All
season long, it feels like we've heard or we've talked
about this being the end of the road for Walker
(25:15):
Buler and the Dodgers. He's making eight million bucks this year,
he's about to finally hit free agency.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
It's not jump change, it's not hater money. But if
you're not a chump change, you're right. I'm not making
light of it.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Pee. I'm not suggesting making thirty million bucks for pitching,
especially with the injuries and not pitching a drop and
not pitching. You know, some of that is not pitching.
He's making that thirty million bucks for It's not a
drop in the bucket. It's a lot of money enough
that you're set for life, as long as you're smart
(25:48):
about how you invest it. You figure taxes, agent fees,
all that sort of stuff. You know, whatever that may
come to, as long as you're smart. And I do
think we have a peek and how Walker Buehler has
an best of his money welcome in.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
This is the the shoe room kind of got all
the memorabilia stuff all around. Oh wow, bats from all
teammates and old shoes and stuff. But these are probably
my favorite ones. The sp Supreme, the Lasers I got,
the little kind of guccy accents. My big thing on
game is that we're all black. And then a pair
of shoes that I like. I wore these in a
(26:22):
playoff game. I think part of the craziest pair of
the ones that I'm like the luckiest to have. It's
the purple skunk dunk. They got literally like a skunk
in there. It's number two oh three. They only made
four and twenty of them. Something were probably my biggest,
baddest pair.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
He's a dead stock shoe had so I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I don't know how much of his money is gone.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
It's even more disturbing than the Saint Christopher protect us
with the eagle fighting the snake back tattoo.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Hey sneakers are worth a lot of money. And you
see he got the skunk dunk and there's only four
hundred and three made. Okay, so four hundred twenty made
obviously for him.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
To quick looks like there's like two hundred and fourteen
other ones.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Yeah. Now, listen, he said he wore those with the playoffs,
you know, the black and.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
He got his bougie watch snatch too.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
He did. That's exactly right. So we got one hundred
thousand dollars watch, we got all the dead stock. We
got thirty racehorses. That's not volatile a racehorse. Listen, they
eat while we're all sleeping.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
That's what my grandfather always said, don't buy something and
eats while you sleep.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
But here's what I'm getting Walker Buler, all right, let's
get back to that. I couldn't resist. I'm sorry, Walk.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
So you're saying, man, he's been.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Selfless exactly twenty eight shock. I believe, Yes, I believe.
I believe. That's what we're gonna see. Twenty eighteen through
twenty twenty one. Walker Buler is nails. He helps this
team win the twenty twenty COVID Classic World Series. He
starts ninety two games on that stretch. That's just eight
in that sixty game season of two hundred and twenty twenty,
(28:04):
struck out over six hundred guys in his career, has
a whip under a thousand. He is nails World Series
Championship year starts five games in that playoff run one run,
four times, two runs once. This is our guy. I
love watching Yamamoto pitch. It's art, it's beautiful, it's effortless,
it's brilliance. The Jack Flaherty story is incredible. Harvard Westlake
(28:25):
grew up a Dodger fan. Could be celebrating a World
series title for his childhood team. Incredible. Without him, They're
not here. It's a storybook. But this is the guy.
Walker Bueller is our guy. To put all the karmic
energy into all the positive thoughts and vibes and energy waves,
and you release them into the ether for Walker Buehler,
(28:46):
dominate this start because it could be his last as
a Dodger. Who knows what they're looking at this offseason.
Corbyn Burns, Max Freed the latest Japanese ax sport, the
Sasaki guy that might get posted. That's great. Every fan
should want their team to spend all the money by
the players, because they wouldn't do it if they couldn't
afford it. So either all those millions of dollars, hundreds
(29:07):
of millions of dollars go into the pockets of Mark
Walter and his people and their financial portfolios, and that's
hard to cheer for as a fan. I don't know
where you would start. Or it goes into players on
the field, yay, easy to cheer for as a fan.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
The dow is up, yay.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yet at the same time, with all those guys, with
all the players he's bought, There's something special about Will
Smith and the cheese burger casserole. There's something special about
Max Munsey plucking a fat die off the scrap heap
designated for assignment Clears Waivers signs a minor league deal
with the Dodgers, has to play one hundred and nine
(29:45):
games in Oklahoma City before he gets a promotion at
twenty seven. Those are the guys. Taosa Hernandez feels like
he's been here his whole career based on just what
his impact has been, and he's.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Gonna be gone. He's gonna play his last two games
as a Dodger here.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Yes, that's it. He'll get a hundred million dollar deal
somewhere else. Dodgers will look for the next day. Oscar
Freddy's another Sokel guy as Pops. It was incredible, the emotions,
the moment, what you felt watching the Grand Slam here
in the postgame interview about his father. Gives you all
the warm fuzzies and the good feelings, no doubt, but today, tonight,
this is the one. There is no player on this
(30:21):
team that is more a Dodger than Walker. Buehler, drafted
in the first round of the twenty fifteen draft, slid
because he needed Tommy John out for a year and
a half. Six right handed pitchers selected ahead of him,
Dylan Tate, Carson Fulmer, Ucla Bruin, James Capellian, Phil Bickford,
Ash Russell bo Burrows, all selected ahead of Bueler. Their
(30:43):
combined Major League Baseball record forty and fifty eight, all
six of them.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
That's Stoner, Bickford.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Walker, Buhler's forty seven and twenty two. And he got
a late start because he missed half of twenty two,
and then because of the beginning, and then his second
Tommy John misses half of twenty two, all of twenty three,
half of twenty four, And thanks to the second Tommy John,
he's back.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
He's battled back, and it hasn't been easy. And I
think that's what uh you you've come to appreciate, and
I can't on the active roster of people who are
playing for the Dodgers. Yeah, I mean you got you
got the old goat kershaws.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Right, But.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Yeah, Walker Bueller is is he's the inspiring story this year.
And he's kind of changed from being a really kind
of cocky and combative guy with the media to somebody
who's more thoughtful, Like he's definitely a serious person. I mean,
what what serious person doesn't collect shoes?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
But don't ask me about my pants. I'm a serious person.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
But but he he definitely become a lot more thoughtful
and maybe a little bit more appreciative of what he's
been given. And I think the Dodgers have done a
good job of sticking by him, yes, because they could have.
They could have just said it's not happening. Yeah, it's
not working and I want to fire. But guess it
would have happened no matter what. Once Glassmow went down
(32:04):
speaking to.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Him, Walker Bueller was the Dodgers Minor League pitcher of
the year. Went from A to Double A to triple
A in the same season. September call up, first game,
two inning, shutout, ball, first strikeout. Charlie Blackman started the
next season second start, much like Ross Stripley took a
no hitter through six against the padres lifted Dodgers got
(32:25):
to combine no hitter. I don't know if Walker Buller's
I don't know if anyone in Walker Buller's life cried
until Dave Roberts thank you. I don't know. As a rookie,
he started the tiebreaker game in Colorado, one hitter over
six and two thirds. He started opening days, he started
playoff series, he started World Series games in one. He's
a winner. And you mentioned Kershaw. He's been overshadowed by
(32:47):
Kershaw's brilliance ever since he's been a Dodger, and now
it's on him and with Tyler Glass now who you
mentioned pe being little more than an Abercrombie and Fitch.
Check out my abs during my shirtless celebration model this postseason,
Walker Buehler's got a chance to put his stamp on it,
fade accompany with a win tonight, and I want it
to happen, and every Dodger fan should want it to happen.
(33:09):
So let's shove all that positive energy his direction and
see whether or not this badass bulldog can get it
going on the mound at Yankee Stadium, because it would
be fitting that he be the guy that damned near
on this thing.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Deeply inspiring, Matt. And after Bieler wins, you know, he's
gonna take it up to the dirty Boulevard. He's going down.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
He's gonna get some dead stock on Maxwell Street.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
To the Dirty Boulevard going out, He's going up. All right,
we'll be right back. When how was your weekend? Dodgers
World Series Game three? Walker Buelder's starting against a guy
named Schmidt, being many of those welcome back just in money.
(34:00):
We started it too. You could podcast everything on the
iHeartRadio app. We're gonna start it two again tomorrow. We
hope you're enjoying it. Dodgers Yankees Tonight World Series Game
three and the Dodgers are up to Oh what a
time to be alive. It is now time for how
is your weekend? I'm gonna do what I do. The
weekend is mine. So how was your weekend? Well, Matt, Matt.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
I did what I preached, And normally I don't do
what I say. I suggest other people do things that
I don't follow through on because I have no follow through.
But I did, uh, I did make my way out
to the Seal Beach Grill. I wanted to watch the
Dodger game with a group of people and be around
uh you know, others and Dodger fans, and there are
a few Yankee fans in there. And it was a
great charged up atmosphere. Uh, Freedy and Cunningham and Cooper.
(34:54):
The wife showed up, had a bunch of beers. It
was incredible. I ate fish and chips because that was
special for the night.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
This is the one guy I want to watch baseball
way that's free Dy exactly right.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Former former Bosco Brave no Mar's best friend when they
run the baseball team together. As a matter of fact,
So got a little guy that was real seamhead made
me feel like an idiot. Managed to cut it off
in time to avoid the hangover. Next morning, surfed in
the am, hit up the home depot and needed a
new pressure washer. So pulled a little bit of a
Ronnie there. Sorry if you searched what you like to
talk about, Ronnie, but hey, I had to do some
(35:26):
handyman chores, put the grill back together, unpack the hot
real third world problems here, you know, So I had
to knock that out and then Saturday night over the
de Ruiders for Game two was a sort of Halloween
party with a bunch of sant Hedwig families. I dressed
up as a burnout. It's very hard to secure that costume.
Sunday up surfing again. It was very foggy and much
(35:47):
like Saturday morning. I got lost out there for a
second before i'd kind of get my bearings. Probably not
the smartest thing, but hey whatever. So far Charger Saints
saw our friend Steve van Dorn he was there, ran
into him in the concourse with our friend Mike. So
great to see them. Great game, got some touchdowns. Lad
McConkie sensational, as was Herbert. But the biggest development was
that DJ had no idea that nine to five was
(36:09):
a movie that was the halftime score. So they were
playing nine to five. He's like, oh, I love this
song by Dolly, and I was like, yeah, bummer, we
lost Dabney Coleman earlier this year. He goes, who Dolly
parton rore?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Yeah, but you know with all that weird sato masochistic
outfit that they made dab me and that would upset
DJ's countenance.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Yeah, I believe maybe it's very disappointing, But yeah, that
was the got home in time for dinner and did
the beer with the Instagram post game rap. So yeah,
that was the weekend. Beer and Bucket had beer and
Bucket had JoJo's bucket hat exactly right.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
What a way to make a living, right all right?
Kates Testify had a busy weekend, guys.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Started on Friday after the Dodgers on Deck pregame show.
Raced down to Dodger Stadium to get there for Game
one of the World Series. Got there late, first inning,
no traffic, believe it or not, everybody got there early,
so I had a nice smooth drive into the stadium,
got in there to watch an historic game. Stayed the
entire time. Could not believe what I saw was high fiving,
(37:07):
chess bumping.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
I heard it's the word on the street.
Speaker 5 (37:11):
I was in the.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Loads level maybe section eight, kind of right behind the
home plate, standing behind the last row, and a crowd gathered.
As the game got going, We're talking to guys. And
then when the game ended, as it did, I found
myself hugging and chess bumping and high fiving people all
in the area. It was awesome. Nobody knew what to do?
They were just standing around. The players on the field
were just standing around. Guys like Otani were just like,
(37:32):
what do we do? We've never this is unbelievable. It
was a surreal experience. I will never forget in my life,
that is for sure. Saturday had Dodger pre game, also
studio hosts for Compass Media Networks LSU Texas A and
M game, and then on Sunday Sunday had Raiders all
day in studio pre half in post. So yeah, busy
(37:52):
weekend of working another l and then scam this morning
and scam this morning, six am, scam this one. What
kind of food will we get tomorrow? We had Western
Megle today.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
I mean, you're probably gonna have a cop show off.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
And a rest of teams stacked to the chest.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Ronnie guys.
Speaker 8 (38:09):
Had a nice weekend.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Of course.
Speaker 8 (38:11):
Saturday morning I got up early to go get a haircut,
ransom errands around town. And one thing I noticed that
the obvious was that all of the people that I
saw out and about, all wearing your Dodger gear, all
had big smiles on their face, seemed to be in
anticipation of something special that was about to take place.
And sure enough it did, as the Dodger did win
(38:32):
Game two. I did watch the Lakers game. I did
have my head on a swivel with usc as well.
Sunday slept in and watched NFL foosball, made some victory
buttermilk pancakes for my wife and myself, and just hung
out with the dogs the rest of the day. That
was it. That was my weekend. Exciting weekend.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
That is exciting.
Speaker 8 (38:53):
What about you, Petros?
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Why do you didn't say where you watching game?
Speaker 8 (38:55):
I watched the game at home. Watch the game at
home with the family.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Hashtag me too, except no family. I was alone in
my basement, as prophesized, which is unfortunate, but that's that's
what I do.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Prophesized, I have a vision.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
That's what Matt said. Matt, you said you're gonna watch
it alone. You should go out, And I said, oh,
and I don't have any plans.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
You should have come down. Freddie would have made room.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
I could have been, well, you were getting after my freedi,
your baseball opinion, and Kate's is out there chest bumping
cholos and Ronnie's you know, high five minutes family. My
kids wanted to watch YouTube shorts upstairs. So uh there
was flag football and yoga. And I went to uh
litigator Dad's house for game two and there was other
(39:43):
people there there. We go I did get did that
for game two and I said, hey, that guy, I said,
Otani hurt his shoulder and everybody's like, no, it's just risk.
I said, no, trust me. I think his shoulder probably sublexed.
It popped out and popped back in, and he's like no,
looking it up. I was like, you know what, I
can't watch this with these people. They disagree with me.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
I can't have them disagree with it.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
I can't live like this. They couldn't do it. I did.
I came right back here. I said, I have to
kile at home. I could back and drink there.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
You idiots can't deal with you.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
I had a sublexing shoulder all through high school. Mike
still pops out to this day. And what do I
do what Otani should have done? Go over and bang
your hand on the bench until you get your feeling back.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Yeah, Mel Gibson, lethal weapon style.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Yeah, but he had to put it back in. See
the siblexing means it just comes out and comes back in,
and the first time it happens, it is frightening. And
I think that's what happened to Otani. Happened to me
my junior year in high school. It scares you, although
still like you hurt your shoulder. Get up anyway. Uh,
my daughter had to read her prayer at the Lutheran
church on Sunday. I went to the Lutheran church. She did,
(40:54):
great County's not afraid to perform. Yeah, and some it
was Reformation Day with the red and the indulgences. And
somebody tweeted out a picture of fat Martin Luther and
a picture of me at my fattest and said happy
Reformation Day. Well and then I did pilate, said the
yoga studio, and the union guy wasn't there either.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Are you sure?
Speaker 1 (41:16):
I said, maybe he'll be a pilates plate.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Maybe that's what he shifted.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
I did have the yoga horse pilates.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Are there a lot of dudes and pilates?
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Maybe there was one or two others, mostly chicks. I
was the only guy in the class today.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (41:30):
At the yoga place, you got on the reformer. What's
the one? No mahina no mai, no machina no no.
Uh and that was my weekend. Other than that, just
general farting around. Thank you everybody, and we'll be back.
We have another hour of great sports talk. We look
forward to another hour of great sports.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Talk, and then Dodger Baseball.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
I have such an exciting time, Matt.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Let's go watch it with someone. Let me see what
Fredi's doing.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
Coop call Fredi, Coop, tell him I'll beat him. At
the Town Palace and Golden Cove.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
They serve glizzies, and it's a bad day to be
a glizzy.
