Speaker 2 (00:06):
While it's the longest running afternoon sports show in the city.

by Petros Papadae.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Gus terrible person, He's the worst, and Matt money Smith.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
The pipes, the pipes, the pipe. Don't miss an episode.
We're with you.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, follow the petros in Money Show wherever you get
your podcasts. Now Here's Petrose Papadae, Gus and Matt money Smith.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
If you're gonna go down, go down with the best
of them.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
A gong me you petros In Money A five seven
e LA Sports Live everywhere. I mean I heard radio
app your home of the World Series champion Dodgers. No
games until Friday. From the Gaping Motors broadcast booth. Waiting
for the winner of the game seven Tonight, first pitch
at five a clock between the Mariners and the Blue Jays.
If it's the Mariners, they will start the series at home.
(01:06):
We'll be out at Dodger Stadium on Friday, for that
five oh eight first pitch. If it is the Blue Jays,
they will start the series in Toronto and we'll get
those three middle games here at Dodger Stadium in the
middle of next week. So that is how that lays out.
But that does not mean we are short play by
play pee on this Modello. It means you a lot
of Monday.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
No ninas ninyas.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Los caballeros for I'm a horse Monday, you'll say, cabayo.
We do have play by play. We'll have Seattle Seahawks Texans,
the game that's sweeping the nation. It's a modelo beach
for your Monday on Petason money. It's not a real
(01:58):
beach if it's not made with Modello. Modello is a
reward for those with the fighting spirit. And as you know,
Modello bears the mark of a fighter like sho Hel
(02:19):
Tani fighting through all the rough criticism, Matt jumping on
the train right on time and saying he's going to
have a great moment.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Last stop. Still get you on the train.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I'm this serious.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Otani hit the football over those mountains. How much you
want to make a bet, I can throw a football
over the mountains delivering a performance that none of us
can really even put into words or have perspective on.
Perhaps on this Modello meets a lot of Monday, perhaps
our next guest will be able to do so. Dodger Skipper,
(02:55):
friend of the show, Dave Roberts Well join us and
we're looking forward to that. And then we have Jim
Bowden on not Vassay's favorite, but Kate's booked him for
(03:17):
our show, so we are the ones that wear.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah, and and it seems like Bowden listens to the
show when he has joined us in the past.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yeah, Bowden has been a friend. I've met him many
years ago at the one of the alternate Fox lots
on Sepulvida and he's been nice. But again, Vassay's ire
will be his dander will be up. There's no doubta.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yes, Tim, the one and only time I went to
Dan Tannis with you guys after Yeah We're all together, Yeah,
after a UCLA remote, he was there. How about that, everybody?
So we're not just doubling up on the guests today.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
He will have three big guests for a four hour show,
as we have another four hour show tomorrow as well.
Today we are going to have Dave Roberts, we will
have Jim Bowden, we will have Matt's radio partner. After
the Chargers take another l If it wasn't for that
justin Herbert spectacular play against Miami, the Chargers would lost
(04:25):
for straight Yeah, and Daniel Jeremiah is going to join
us to talk about what's going on in this rough
stretch for the Chargers, and he'll also talk about how
upset he is as the number one Padre fan on
Earth and the most visible. He will talk about how
he feels watching the Dodgers dominate in the fashion in
which they are. They have never in the franchise history,
(04:48):
Brooklyn and La, not the Superbas, not the Dodgers, none
of them have ever gone back to back in a
World Series championships. Oh, that is what is at stake,
of course, something Padre fans like these could never even
(05:09):
dream now.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
All kind of fell apart after that, by the way
out local news that decided to put.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Those well, it's not like they never made the playoff.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Well, they were up to one in a series against
the Dodgers and then blew a bullpen game in San
Diego would have sent them.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
But this was after This was after they beat the
Dodgers with the goose right when they went to Philly.
Then they went to Philly and the Phillies just blew
them up. What happened was, Yeah, Manny's gonna cruise and
Bryce is gonna lose. That did not happen. In fact,
Manny was the one that lost and Bryce was gonna cruise.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Has not been the same in the playoffs since.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I guess you could look at it like that. They
haven't won a playoff series since those stiff white guys
did the did their cool rap. But you know, I'm
starting to feel like all the things we say don't matter.
I know it's crazy, but I'm starting to I feel.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Like we maybe have nineteen years of evidence no that
they do badly backs upthing no, or maybe that they
do like I don't know, Like I don't know. It's
hard to imagine. You know, we talked to Rashaan Slater
and the next day his leg falls off. It's hard
to say that that's not our fault. It's hard to
say that. I mean, we had the courage to attack
Lebron and now what do we have a book that
comes out where Russell Westbrook is attacking Lebron like, I
(06:28):
don't think he's comfortable doing that unless the petros and
money show we've paid the way to the cottage industry, right,
we've paid the right way, right for the hatred everyone
else when we were like, no, f this guy he
came to town and said he was giving up free pizza,
and then he didn't show.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Up, and then we'll never forgive him. We'll never forgive
him and that guy, and that I don't forgive bad guys.
So yeah, we've had Look, there's a lot of evidence
over the years, Matt, let's just say, we're still reviewing
the evidence. But I am starting to suspect that a
lot of the stuff that we say is just filler. See.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
But you could take that approach, or you could take
the opposite when you said, aren't we being a little nonchalant?
Aren't we being a little Yeah, we're down on the
field and we're grabbing ass and we're laughing and we're
having a good time. And maybe that spills over. Maybe
Dino Ebel when he's yeah, he's too loose chucking it
(07:28):
up with us, He's like, you know what those guys
are loose? I'm feeling kind of loose. What do we
have to be stressed about. Let your hair down, boys,
let's have a good time out there, and then look
what happened.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I got this text from a concerned.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Listener, brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
We make it easy, and this says, to echo your
sentiments from the other day. Whenever anything in life seems
to be going splendidly, sports are not. I expect the
worst on the short horizon. If more often happened, it
more often than not happens. And I'll tell you why.
(08:08):
Non chalance. So, I mean, I don't know what the
Dodgers going into the series feeling so good, and everybody
predicting it doesn't matter Toronto, it doesn't matter Seattle, even
though Seattle's better for travel. I mean, everybody counting their
chickens rooting out the parade streets. I don't know, you know,
(08:36):
I think I'm just saying nonchalance.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
But maybe that's what they need.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
You want nonchalance or you want schalance. I don't know.
I mean, Mookie Betts said, or, as Colin Cowhard calls him,
Mucky Bets, Maucky Bets said. The job's not done, and
he had the stoic Kobe job's not done a statement.
That's what we call schalance.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Nonchalance.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Nonchalance is the way we ask.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I'm just going out there grabbing ass, having a good time. Man.
You know, they win, they win, they don't win, they
don't win. But I'll tell you what, We're going to
enjoy the ride, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
We're gonna get down here and squat. We're gonna at
the top of our life.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Check it out. I just went to Harbor Freight and
look at what I got. I do think there is
I truly believe in a c of international media, of
Major League Baseball radio, of whatever the the MLB Network
(09:50):
Ball four, pitch Out or the pitch Clock, whatever the
show might be that's broadcasting down there. Everybody's so so.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I love Clock. It's my favorite shock.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I do think there is cock.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
With Alfred Hitchcock, we cannot make decisions that cost the
team and then come off the sideline and it's nonchalant.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I'm just worried about the nonchalants, man.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
I think I think worried about it last week.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I'm worried about it this week.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
And it's not it. But it doesn't come from them.
It comes from us. And we finally recognized our role.
You know, it's not necessarily as the panic brothers, it's
as the uh don't give a crap brothers. Yeah, these
guys are all buttoned up. This guy's wearing a blazer
Nightingale looks like he's about to litigate a serious case
(10:37):
somewhere in Charleston, South Carolina, in his tope suit. And
here come these two eight now.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
The baseball you know they're serious.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
They are, but we we balance it out.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
I mean, we didn't come down there like two clowns.
I mean, it's not like we came down there like
bullsl the clown.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
We didn't.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
No, I don't think we were that bad.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
No, I'm not saying we were that bad. I'm saying
that what.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Look what uh, Look what Pedro Martinez was wearing. If
anybody looked like a cloud, he had cloud hair, cloud suit.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But he was still behaving with a very serious.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
And you know what, I want to say this too.
I want to say this. I understand having security and
all that, but once once you're down onto the field
and the only people down on the field are media,
why are you protecting the media from the media Pedro
and the Grande Man And it's not Bobby Kennedy at
(11:30):
the Ambassador Hotel. Guys, Okay, you don't exactly, you don't.
You don't need to protect Pedro Martinez from Bob Knightagin.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
They protect better than they protected Bob.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Well, exactly, they don't need it, is my point, Matt.
They don't need it. You know, you don't need to
protect uh Pedro Martinez from Jason Stark. You don't need
to protect them from from Nomar Garcia Park. It's thank
you for clapping Kate's Kate's is clapping off camera.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yes, aren't they protecting him? Are they? If I may,
aren't they protecting him? And by protecting I mean just
essentially running interference from Tim Kats because Pedro doesn't want
to say no.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Well, he said his person, he said yes to David Maassy.
But the problem was Kate's wasn't even aiming that High
Massa was gonna get Pedro. Kates just wanted the grandy
Man right. And you know what the grandy man wanted us.
He could him over two or three times, and their
punkass security is blocked like what's so different about the
(12:34):
grandy Man than us. We're all in them. I mean,
they're not bringing out Glass now to talk to the
grandy Man. They brought him out to talk to us.
They're not bringing over Andrew Friedman to talk to the
grandy Man. They brought him over to talk to us.
Wait a second, Tyler Glass, you saw all that. Wait no, no, no, no,
Tyler Glass now doesn't need security, but your bs postgame show. Now, Look,
(12:57):
if it's Jeter and a Rod, jeets, jeets, jeets, tell we.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Lived in the same building. Let you go outside of
the fluid.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Tell him Jeets, tell them it's me.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Tell him it's.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Jeter and a Rod. Have security, but they shouldn't be
protected from the media either. And I don't. I don't
like that. I thought I.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Think it worked out. It worked out splendidly. However good
the grandy Man might have been.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
You think Andrew Friedman was better than the Grandyman.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Freedman was better, Glass Now was better, Eric Carros was better,
John Hayman and a quick quip in a Northwestern polo
better talking Steve Schner.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I don't look, I don't want any That's what the
Petros in mind.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
I don't want to talk to Jimmy Rollins. I don't
want to talk to the grandy Man. But I also
don't want to see these people acting like they're important.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Like they don't want to be told.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
I can't like they're like they're protecting Bobby Kennedy at
the Ambassador Hotel, which they.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It's all they have. It's TBS, right, TV, it's all
they have they have back to they're done like TBS
is now back to Big Bang Theory reruns, you know,
to simulcasting True Team and the punk ass Prankster's right
until the NCAA tournament comes around in six months, have.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Some college football action. Don't act like college football is
nothing like nonchalant about it.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
We cannot make decisions that cost the team and then
come off the sideline and it's nonjalant.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
My point is is we prepare for Dave Roberts. TBS
has their role in this, and their role is to
pretend like they're way more important and in demand than
they read.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
That's what bothered me. Our role nobody cares and then
Kates made us look like punks, look all desperate for
the grandy Man. We don't need to lay down with
the grand Man.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
It's okay.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Our role was filled as well, acting like fools, screaming
and yelling. And next thing, you know, all these media folks,
media types that are like, puh, look at those clowns
over there. Oh, the clowns that are talking to Tyler
Glass Snow, Oh the clowns that are having a conversation
with Andrew Friedman.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Those clowns. Yeah, we looked at me. We looked like
the guy that showed up at the high school dance
with an underwear on the outside, and everybody's like, why
is that guy wearing his underwear on the outside, And
then a hot chick came over and danced with us
and rubbed her crotch on our underwear.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Exactly. Great sports talk, Great sports talk.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Like people acting like they're better than everybody just because
they're protecting a Rod and the grandy Man.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I'm tired of them act that way when they go home.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I won't.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
Go to bed.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
I wanted to piece about it. I said what I said,
and it'll be a Fox homer either.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
All right, we got out there for the World Series.
A Rod and those dudes are gonna have people all
around that.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
The security for them is necessary and very.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Definitely is not.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Look he needs trying to get it. Derek Jeter, he
protected from battle.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Breakaway a rod security detail and give him someone the
points to the camera he's supposed to look at instead.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
How about that? Wow, Matt, Yes, that's right.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
He took a day run pretty hard.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Right.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Well, I think their security is very important.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Dave Roberts does not need security when he calls us.
Maybe he does. Maybe someone's gonna dial the phone and
then handed to him. Whoever he gets it though, it'll
be join us next.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Make AM five seventy or your favorite AM five seventy
LA Sports podcast a preset on the iHeartRadio using Apple
car Play or Android Auto road.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Trip all summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Monday Night Football Tonight Seattle Houston. That'll be at seven pm.
It's a Monday night football double header, so we're taking
the late game. No play by play tomorrow, but you'll
have off day dotch or talk as the World Series
does not get started until Friday. Wednesday. It is the
kickoff of the l A Clippers season. They will be
in Utah playing the Jazz. That'll say Thursday, we'll have
(17:10):
Chargers Vikings Thursday night football and then Friday, of course
Game one of the World Series, Game seven between the
Blue Jason Seattle Mariners will get going in about an
hour and a half as the Dodgers will wait their opponent.
It will determine whether or not they start at home
or on the road Seattle, they start at home, Toronto,
they will start on the road.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
And you know who's in on the board today, and
he is so excited about Wednesday night and let's go.
That's going to be a flex alert. Yeah, Ronnie's still
out recovering from the big weddings. Adam from Fox Sports Radio,
(17:58):
Adam from Clipper Talk, Adam from the Clipper pregame show.
And Adam is very much like Dante Hicks was very
unhappy and Clerks the movie was supposed to be here.
He's not even supposed to be here today.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Minute.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
I don't know what happened, but I had like a
week of notice.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
But he's still very unhappy.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
I'm good Case accused me of that earlier.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I don't know what I can tell. He said, Well,
Kate is not going to say you're in a bad mood.
If you're not in a bad mood.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Kate sees me on the board and just to suit, Well, yeah,
it's been like two years since you've seen me here.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
But yeah, that's the alarm.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
When we see you, we know that somebody is going
to be sour and bower and that is your nature.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Man, I'm schipper, I'm upbeat, ready to go.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Well standing.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
You're showing respect to the show.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Now when you're the Clipper guy and the Dodgers are
making a deep run like they are this year, are
you resentful that you're Clippers are being put on this
the proverbial back burner of life.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Not at all home of the Dodgers. They deserve it, all.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Right now, all right, that's a good diplomatic answer.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Well, and maybe you know, not necessarily the time to
put the spotlight on the Clippers.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Just saying, you know, saying Utah is taking them down
he Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Just saying, you know, like maybe you prefer to talk
about the basketball actually, uh, stuff on the court when
it comes to the Clippers talking about you know what
I mean, just like, hey, let's let's talk about how
Kahi played in that game wasn't that great.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
I heard that Kawhi was wrapped up with some pretty
shady characters.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Your husband keeps lousy company.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Missus Sampson as bad as there is in LA and
that's as bad as there is any.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Comment, Adam Tim, You're right. I hate that I'm here today.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Oh come on, you're not going to do your job
in comment.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
What do you want to know?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
What's going on over there?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
That's what I want to know.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Poblaw hasn't done a podcast in about a week. Now
we're in the clear.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I think that guy. Do you now if you saw
that guy, Pablo Torre, who's trying to take down the
very ownership of the franchise that you hold so dear
the Los Angeles Clippers, if you saw him in the street,
would you kick his nuts?
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Cutting off a limb from one of those trees and
hitting him in the backroom?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Wow? Wow, that could be a hate crime. I can
see the headline now, white man beats minority?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Did you do you refresh his Twitter page daily?
Speaker 7 (20:30):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Somebody just asked me on it, so I'm going to
see it one way or another.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Yeah, they'll send it to me.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Have you made any public comment concerning this or not.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Done like ten shows on it? Okay, you know what
I say for the truth?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Yeah, that's the Petro some money approach. Right, well done,
great sports talk. He did do one thing that I
know for certain. Ramona Shellbourne wore the wrath of fully
functional employee Adam after some media nation Shenanigan's.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
What'd she do?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Well, yeah, she was pepperink and you were not.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
An off air conversation. Pee, how dare you?
Speaker 4 (21:04):
What are you talking about ice? I saw you talk
about it on Instagram before that.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
I consulted p on this was.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
He said, Hey, should I go after Ramona? I said absolutely.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I don't know why I asked. You knew what the
answer was going to be, guns out.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
You know, we have the state of hate at the
end of every year, zero concern with our standing or reputation,
and the greater assembled media of Los Angeles.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
I simply point out that while she was saying that
nobody else was getting questions that were going to ask
about aspiration, she got five of the eleven questions.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
We do have some sound from the presser and it's
crazy because you keep saying questions and to me, it
seemed like she was more making statements.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I am Barona, I am the one ruler of all
the jungle.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Markooner's blood is the flood of the.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Jack Wade, really really trying to own the story.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
You know, destroyed my enemy.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
I bark at p people on my arcade and they
will all die. All right, as our holding pattern comes
to an end while we're waiting for Dave Roberts, uh,
we we are probably gonna move on to how was
your weekend? Now?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I'm gonna do what I do. The weekend is my
How was your weekend?
Speaker 4 (22:26):
I hope so, Matt, you know, I'd hate for your
weekend to be interrupted like my football story was the
other day the whipper around Vet or somebody like that.
Dalt rushing, d rush rushing, excuse me, I'd hate for
it to be uh interrupted. So let's get to it, Matt.
How was your weekend? There? I bet you had a
great weekend.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I did you know we have the show Friday at
Dodger Stadium an early one Friday night.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Of course you had an easy time getting out of
Dodger Stadium, that's for sure, right, Uh, you didn't get
giant cotton candy here or anything.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
It was not great, but it was not the worst
of days that we were out there. I will say
of all the days it was probably no. It was terrible.
Watch the Dodger game with the wife child, got some
takeout from finn Bars Place. The listens to the show regularly.
Saturday am served with a friend of mine, Brian, that
I had not served with in a while, to a
(23:18):
spot I hadn't been at in a minute. Went up
to you previewed it on Friday. It was a beautiful event.
Ax als Eric Stevens brother Brian, got a chance to
catch up with them. Great people, great event. Tip of
the cap to Brett from Pepper He was there as well.
Even though we had a show later that night down
at Great Park and Irvine, we had a second show.
(23:38):
Preston played the event and then she was hired to
play the opening of the Yogaba Gabba art exhibit at
the Brea Gallery. That was really cool again. Friend of
the show, Christian mc bat, commander of the Aquabats, asked
Preston if she would play. She had a song on
this season's soundtrack outside very cool. She was playing Originals covers.
(23:59):
People were into it, but very cool moment when she
played the song from the show. There were a couple
of little kids that totally knew it and were right
there jumping around in front of her as she played it,
So that was a really neat moment. After that, went
up to the mentor's former PMS guest John Mintor owner
Glomar bats.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
I wore my Glomar bad hat on Friday and nobody cared.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
He saw it.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Well, he came, well, thank you, John.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
He saw it. He was very excited and said a
huge thank you to you for wearing the Glomar hat.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Out at Di and Io. I went down onto the
field and made my put myself in discomfort all for Glomar.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
You earned the approval of the good doctor, who asked
me like, why aren't you wearing Glomar every day you're there.
It's like, that's a fair point, good doctor, But I
don't know. I have a very small head. The hat
doesn't fit me well, to be honest, and I gave
him the tim kayes. I did watch the sc Notre
Dame with those gentlemen as well Sunday.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Well, what a stupid game. They shouldn't play that anymore. No,
those two teams don't look cool on the field or anything.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Sunday, I startup with a good doctor. Met the judge
out in the water, a judge Pittman for IDEM.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
But the monkey that's in Dave Weese's office that used
to be in.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
No, this was a non Martin judge. Cordelaine is where
he sits on the bench. He was down for the
Charger game. Enjoyed talking shop with him, and then went
up to SOFI. Disappointing result. Field looked incredible, all yellows eh.
Not sure about the uniforms, but the I guess the
kids love him, so.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
You don't like the velvet Underground Banano and Andrew Warhol album was.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Uniforms necessarily crip, but you know me, I'm just being selfish.
The numbers were not visible from our booth. Literally could
not tell what anyone's number was. So if they're going
to wear them again, I would politely request maybe a thicker.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
You think they'll do that for you, Matt.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
No, I don't, but I'm just gonna still lodge the request.
Can we get a thicker border on that number? Please?
Bets ross no idea? Who's who out there? So that
was my week.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Joining us right now. Come on, he waited till your
weekend was out.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
No he did not.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
He did.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
That better not be the case. No, he just called okay.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
On your Southern California Toyota Dealers celebrity hotline. As the
Dodgers continue to win, his legend grows, not just for
selling wine with the beautiful red stitchitch World Series winning
manager and doing a great job and challenging the Dodgers
(26:25):
to be better and better every single playoff series. It
is Dave Roberts joining us from Chavez Ravine and the
Dodgers workout today. World Series starts on Friday, and we
don't know who they're gonna get, but we do know
that Dave Roberts will be pulling the levers and doing
his thing that excites the city so much. Dave, thanks
so much for doing it. We appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
How you feeling today, I'm feeling good.
Speaker 8 (26:50):
Boys, getting ready on my way to the ballpark right now.
We got to work out today and get to see
some pitchers, some guys take battie practice. We'll have that
Game seven ALCS on at Dodger Stadium. But like you said, Petrows,
I'm excited for our city. Our city needs it, and
our players are excited.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
It really is something special for the whole city. Everybody
talks about it in places that you could never imagine
them talking about baseball. But it is a uniting thing
for our city, like you said, Dave, and it's a
special thing. Do you like the five I mean, when
you have time off, no matter what, whether you like
it or not, do you feel good about filling it?
Speaker 8 (27:33):
You know what I do feel. I do like the
way we're feeling it. I think it's sort of we're
kind of at a place where it doesn't really matter
what we prefer. I like the idea of not giving
yourself an out or an excuse. So we're those of opponent.
Whether we travel Wednesday or we're home on you know,
(27:54):
we stay back and wait for the Mariners or whatever
five days, keep going into a series. It doesn't matter
or as Yamamoto said week ago, losing is not an option.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
You uh, you had a choice, You had a very
you know, I would say, I don't know if it
was top or easy. When it comes to who you
wanted to start Game one in each of these series,
you decided to go with Blake Snell. If it was Yamamoto,
if it was Glass novel, was Otani, nobody would have
you know, Donna said anything about it, just in terms
of how you lined it up. What was it that
led you to make that decision of how you wanted
(28:26):
the lady starters out in that particular order.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
I think if you look at the schedule of that
cs UH, Blake is a guy that we felt most
comfortable going on regular rest, which is four days off. Yamamoto,
we've done a week off. We've done you know, five
days off for the most part of rest. And so
if you're looking at a potential game series, obviously you
(28:51):
know six games is more the sixth game is more
like the fifth game is more likely than the sixth game,
and so you try to put your players in the
best position of success. So if there was a fifth game,
we felt better with Blake and as opposed to Yamamoto
right there, and it kind of couldn't have worked out
any better.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
You go to the order Dave, as Dave Roberts joins
us first game of the World Series will be Friday.
You will hear that at five eight pm. Opponent not
known yet Toronto or Seattle. But you go to the lineup,
and here's Will Smith, who's who's dealing with a fracture
in a hand, not sure you know what series is
going to play in. But then we get to the
NLCS and man, it looked like Will Smith all over again.
(29:31):
Just kind of what is what is he going through?
Are you surprised by that performance at all? And how
hard is that? Because it feels like it's a very
rhythm kind of position right hitting against these pitchers who
are so incredibly good, especially in the playoffs, to be
able to just kind of look like the Will Smith
we expected.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
Not surprised. You know, he's got a he's got a
really slow heart beat. Certainly he's not one hundred percent.
And I got to give Ben Bet a lot of
props for kind of being a stop gap behind the plate,
and he was fantastic. But yeah, to have you know,
a three time All Star back behind the plate to
(30:10):
hit him in the middle of the order, we've obviously
makes us a lot better. And I just can't say
enough about Will and very you know, in my opinion,
is still very underrated.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
We can't say enough about the Dodgers and what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
It's been fun on the station it's been fun in town,
and the man in charge, Dave Roberts, a great ambassador
at baseball to the whole city, is our guest right now.
I got to ask because I mean, I know you
guys do a lot of things on purpose, but there's
got to be some luck involved as well. That all
four of these starters are up and running at this
(30:45):
point in the season. It had to be something you
guys had in mind all year.
Speaker 8 (30:51):
Yeah. I wouldn't say that's luck, though. I think that's
part of being able to.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Hold.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
It's kind of like that whole Braveheart, you know, or
Russell Crowtz or Mel Gibson saying Emmel or Russell's saying hold, Hold, Hold,
And I think it's yes, Mel, And I think that
it's like with us. You know, whether you have Blake
or you have Tyler, you have and the guys in
the bullpen or you know, show Hey not ramping him up,
(31:19):
it's like hold, hold, hold, and you want to be
able to do it. So they have bullets at the
end of the season. So I do credit obviously the
entire organization. We have depth to kind of overcome a
summer where you're not fully healthy. But that wasn't luck.
That was more kind of methodical making sure we kind
of hold our guys back to make sure they're ready
(31:40):
to go when needed through October.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
And you know, it was kind of like that with
Otani and the pitching, the hold hold and what we've
seen is is unbelievable. We lack so much perspective on this, Dave.
I mean, you're a guy who did the impossible as
a player when you guys came back in Boston down
down h three, So you've seen that, you know, in
your life before, something no one's ever done before, and
(32:05):
you're a big part of that, a legendary part of it.
Are we ever going to get perspective on what Otawi's doing?
Can we ever really define it properly?
Speaker 8 (32:15):
I don't think so. You know what's funny is I
was talking to a friend of mine the other day
and he actually took offence to when I said it
was the greatest baseball performance of all time, and his
counter was, how do you even say that it's the
greatest sports performance of all time? So you know what,
if you kind of put it in that context, it's
hard to argue that. But yeah, you know, he's a
(32:38):
special player certainly the biggest of stages, and what he
did was was memorable. And I said it the other night,
it's he created a lot of memories for a lot
of people that night.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Is it hard to put the roster together when you've
got to figure out whose because you know, you do
have those those guys like you mentioned Ben, you know,
and how big he was in sort of splitting those
games with Will Smith. But at this point do you
feel like it's it's automatic or are there still some
tough decisions to make when it comes to this this
final series.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
I think it's pretty much cut and paste. You know,
for from the CS to the World Series, there might
be one whether it's a position player, pitcher, we might
kind of flip in and out, but depending on the
matchup potential. But I think that this one, you know,
seven game series, so you're certainly leaning a little bit
(33:31):
more towards the pitching. So yeah, I think it's pretty
going to be pretty similar.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Just you know, we as we know the home runs, right,
those are great epic moments, you remember those. The starting
pitching has been so dominant, seems to be the prevailing
theme of the Dodgers through these nine games. But Dave,
what about defense, Like, can you share with us and
the listeners, like how much work goes into defense because
you think about, you know, Freddy digging out that ball
(33:57):
to clinch a you know, to clinch a series, whether
a clincher game. I should say about the wheel play,
just how much these players put into that particular facet
that maybe goes well. It is the most overlooked of
pitching and hitting, and then defense, of course is a
huge part of it.
Speaker 8 (34:15):
Yeah, the defense and the base running certainly are overlooked,
and it's one of those things that really doesn't show
up in the scorecard. But yeah, and even key K's
play the other night was a special play and where
Shohy could have gotten a little bit more taxed and stressed.
And Keiky has any ending double play, you know, so
those things matter where where I think, Yeah, you mentioned
(34:36):
the Freddie play and there's a play even for that,
the force play to get that lead run, and then
the scow from Tommy Edmond. And we've been very sound defensively,
and in the postseason things get so magnified and the
extra outs, the extra base that you give up or
the base that you can get on the offensive side
certainly get more magnified, especially when pitching is at a premium.
(34:58):
So it's something our work at every day. Chris Woodward,
Dino Ebel, all those guys put in a lot of work.
And our guys, to their credit, they love to practice.
They understand the little things of the game. And even
that Max Munty play, you know, that ball to his
left infield in fields, it slides turns those a strike
(35:19):
to Will who makes a great catches. It makes a
great tag to kind of limit damage for a glass
now sending. So all those things don't get lost on us.
Speaker 7 (35:28):
Though.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
I got to ask you because you do such a
great job of celebrating your players and helping us find
perspective on what they're accomplishing and what kind of people
they are. But this is your tenth season as a
Dodger skipper, You're headed to your fifth World Series. You
know there's three guys like Key k Munsey and Kersh
around from that twenty seventeen World Series team. Do you
(35:50):
allow yourself to look back on what you're accomplishing, what
you've been doing as a baseball manager for a decade.
Speaker 8 (36:00):
You know, I try not to kind of get into
that headspace certainly obviously gratitude for being in this organization.
I love the Dodgers. I said it many times over.
I'm I've been invested for a long time. We have
a great organization, great players, you know what. Honestly, I
just guard against complacency and I'm always trying to get better,
(36:23):
trying to learn. But yeah, when you're talking about Allston,
you know, Tommy and Sparky Anderson in the postseason and
those names, Joe Torri, it's certainly mind blowing. But you know,
I guess I'll win four more games and then I'll
kind of reflect on that over the offseason.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
We know you got to go. But I would love
to ask real quick, because we talked about it in
the open here, Dave, our role in all of this
and the clowns that we act like when we come
down on the field, do you do you notice certain
numbers of the media how they behave during the playoff
runs because we're wondering whether or not we're a net
positive or a net negative for the Dodgers. When we
come down for an hour doing our radio show on
(37:05):
the Wireless Monch, do you even notice?
Speaker 8 (37:08):
All right? I love it. I do notice I noticed,
and it's certainly a net positive positive. I do think
that obviously, you know, you guys, you guys have a
lot on your plates. You know there's a lot of sports,
a lot going on to Los Angeles. But I do
feel that, you know, for where we put the organization,
the magnitude of this series this postseason, for you guys
(37:29):
to show face that means a lot to the players
and to be boots on the ground. We love having
you guys there.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
Saw that guy calling the Fresno game last week, and
now he's here with us. We're gonna come dressed like
the brave heart.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Guys. Hold there it is, there, it is.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
It's Dave Roberts with the Dodgers holding back the starters.
We love you, Dave. Congratulations on all your success, have
a great workout today. Thank you for spending next time.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
Oh thanks for having me on there, he.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Goes Dave Roberts. Ladies and gentleman, Hold see, we're important
net positive because he would have told us, hey, guys,
don't come down on.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
The field anymore.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
What do you mean.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
I think he would have said that he's a manager,
he manages people, you know what, it'd be better for us.
If you guys just stayed in there, think he'd say
that on the air. I think you would. Looks he's
always been an honest guy. Right, He's called out players,
not you know, with malice, but when maybe the situation
suggests that it does need to be acknowledged, I think
(38:35):
he do the same. You know. Look, it's a punch
with a velvet glove.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Well that's not what happened.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
No, Instead, I think you guys are great.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
What do you mean. We'll be right back with the
rest of the weekends. But as it always is, a
terrible downhill jaunt after Matt's weekend, which is the peak.

I had a great weekend. Started Friday night. I got
out of the am FI seventy suite right after the
bottom half of the first inning when Shoeyotani hit his
first of three home runs. And now I'm kicking myself
because I should have stayed for history and said I
was there and been able to talk about how.
Speaker 4 (41:42):
I we just want the one that went out of
the stadium, though you saw that.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
I didnt seem always in a car for that one.
I was driving home, fighting through traffic to get home.
That was the That was the second one.
Speaker 4 (41:52):
Yeah, the second one's the one that blew all the
way out.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Then celebrating with my wife, we went to Don Kuko's
before they closed but eight thirty and had some drinks
and late dinner at the Kook said helload to Hector

Uh.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
So that was great and Uh. Then we went to dinner,
my wife, myself and Sadie. You went to ps No,
that was a distant second, too long of a wait.
We didn't want to go back to Don Kuko's. We
actually wanted to go to this Japanese barbecue place here
in Burbank, right on Riverside, and there was seven parties
ahead of us, and it's not a very big spot.
(42:32):
So they said about forty five minutes, and I said,
that's that's not going to happen. I'm hungry and I
want to eat right now. And so I had big
work right now.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
God damn it.
Speaker 3 (42:43):
My wife goes, there's a spot right down the street.
Let's go see if there's a wait. So we went

Glass of wine at the Smokehouse and some prime ribs,
glass of white zips.

be just a real, real close game between the Raiders
and the Chiefs right down of the wire, just a
pubic hair away from one of that one for Old
Pete Carroll Pete study. Didn't see it coming.
Speaker 4 (43:13):
We get twenty fifteen more first downs in that game.

I did that well. I had a hard time getting
out of Dodger Stadium after the game. I was kept
out out of the dugout club, so my ass kissing
was incomplete. I had to kiss the ass of the
Toyota guy in the in the vestibule area. And then
the next morning I took my daughter to soccer but
(45:13):
could not stay to watch the game. I had to
go to work and I did, and in between the
games I did. I took the spotter and the stat
guy and Dan Helly over to the Apple Pan and
one of us ordered two burgers and it wasn't me.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
Oh, I'm gonna go Spotter, try again, Helly.

middle of next week. So that is how that lays out.
But that does not mean we are short play by
play pee on this Modello. It means you a lot
of Monday.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
No ninas ninyas.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Los caballeros for I'm a horse Monday, you'll say, cabayo.
We do have play by play. We'll have Seattle Seahawks Texans,
the game that's sweeping the nation. It's a modelo beach
for your Monday on Petason money. It's not a real
(01:58):
beach if it's not made with Modello. Modello is a
reward for those with the fighting spirit. And as you know,
Modello bears the mark of a fighter like sho Hel
(02:19):
Tani fighting through all the rough criticism, Matt jumping on
the train right on time and saying he's going to
have a great moment.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Last stop. Still get you on the train.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I'm this serious.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Otani hit the football over those mountains. How much you
want to make a bet, I can throw a football
over the mountains delivering a performance that none of us
can really even put into words or have perspective on.
Perhaps on this Modello meets a lot of Monday, perhaps
our next guest will be able to do so. Dodger Skipper,
(02:55):
friend of the show, Dave Roberts Well join us and
we're looking forward to that. And then we have Jim
Bowden on not Vassay's favorite, but Kate's booked him for
(03:17):
our show, so we are the ones that wear.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah, and and it seems like Bowden listens to the
show when he has joined us in the past.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yeah, Bowden has been a friend. I've met him many
years ago at the one of the alternate Fox lots
on Sepulvida and he's been nice. But again, Vassay's ire
will be his dander will be up. There's no doubta.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yes, Tim, the one and only time I went to
Dan Tannis with you guys after Yeah We're all together, Yeah,
after a UCLA remote, he was there. How about that, everybody?
So we're not just doubling up on the guests today.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
He will have three big guests for a four hour show,
as we have another four hour show tomorrow as well.
Today we are going to have Dave Roberts, we will
have Jim Bowden, we will have Matt's radio partner. After
the Chargers take another l If it wasn't for that
justin Herbert spectacular play against Miami, the Chargers would lost
(04:25):
for straight Yeah, and Daniel Jeremiah is going to join
us to talk about what's going on in this rough
stretch for the Chargers, and he'll also talk about how
upset he is as the number one Padre fan on
Earth and the most visible. He will talk about how
he feels watching the Dodgers dominate in the fashion in
which they are. They have never in the franchise history,
(04:48):
Brooklyn and La, not the Superbas, not the Dodgers, none
of them have ever gone back to back in a
World Series championships. Oh, that is what is at stake,
of course, something Padre fans like these could never even
(05:09):
dream now.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
All kind of fell apart after that, by the way
out local news that decided to put.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Those well, it's not like they never made the playoff.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Well, they were up to one in a series against
the Dodgers and then blew a bullpen game in San
Diego would have sent them.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
But this was after This was after they beat the
Dodgers with the goose right when they went to Philly.
Then they went to Philly and the Phillies just blew
them up. What happened was, Yeah, Manny's gonna cruise and
Bryce is gonna lose. That did not happen. In fact,
Manny was the one that lost and Bryce was gonna cruise.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Has not been the same in the playoffs since.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I guess you could look at it like that. They
haven't won a playoff series since those stiff white guys
did the did their cool rap. But you know, I'm
starting to feel like all the things we say don't matter.
I know it's crazy, but I'm starting to I feel.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Like we maybe have nineteen years of evidence no that
they do badly backs upthing no, or maybe that they
do like I don't know, Like I don't know. It's
hard to imagine. You know, we talked to Rashaan Slater
and the next day his leg falls off. It's hard
to say that that's not our fault. It's hard to
say that. I mean, we had the courage to attack
Lebron and now what do we have a book that
comes out where Russell Westbrook is attacking Lebron like, I
(06:28):
don't think he's comfortable doing that unless the petros and
money show we've paid the way to the cottage industry, right,
we've paid the right way, right for the hatred everyone
else when we were like, no, f this guy he
came to town and said he was giving up free pizza,
and then he didn't show.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Up, and then we'll never forgive him. We'll never forgive
him and that guy, and that I don't forgive bad guys.
So yeah, we've had Look, there's a lot of evidence
over the years, Matt, let's just say, we're still reviewing
the evidence. But I am starting to suspect that a
lot of the stuff that we say is just filler. See.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
But you could take that approach, or you could take
the opposite when you said, aren't we being a little nonchalant?
Aren't we being a little Yeah, we're down on the
field and we're grabbing ass and we're laughing and we're
having a good time. And maybe that spills over. Maybe
Dino Ebel when he's yeah, he's too loose chucking it
(07:28):
up with us, He's like, you know what those guys
are loose? I'm feeling kind of loose. What do we
have to be stressed about. Let your hair down, boys,
let's have a good time out there, and then look
what happened.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I got this text from a concerned.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Listener, brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
We make it easy, and this says, to echo your
sentiments from the other day. Whenever anything in life seems
to be going splendidly, sports are not. I expect the
worst on the short horizon. If more often happened, it
more often than not happens. And I'll tell you why.
(08:08):
Non chalance. So, I mean, I don't know what the
Dodgers going into the series feeling so good, and everybody
predicting it doesn't matter Toronto, it doesn't matter Seattle, even
though Seattle's better for travel. I mean, everybody counting their
chickens rooting out the parade streets. I don't know, you know,
(08:36):
I think I'm just saying nonchalance.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
But maybe that's what they need.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
You want nonchalance or you want schalance. I don't know.
I mean, Mookie Betts said, or, as Colin Cowhard calls him,
Mucky Bets, Maucky Bets said. The job's not done, and
he had the stoic Kobe job's not done a statement.
That's what we call schalance.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Nonchalance.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Nonchalance is the way we ask.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I'm just going out there grabbing ass, having a good time. Man.
You know, they win, they win, they don't win, they
don't win. But I'll tell you what, We're going to
enjoy the ride, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
We're gonna get down here and squat. We're gonna at
the top of our life.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Check it out. I just went to Harbor Freight and
look at what I got. I do think there is
I truly believe in a c of international media, of
Major League Baseball radio, of whatever the the MLB Network
(09:50):
Ball four, pitch Out or the pitch Clock, whatever the
show might be that's broadcasting down there. Everybody's so so.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I love Clock. It's my favorite shock.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I do think there is cock.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
With Alfred Hitchcock, we cannot make decisions that cost the
team and then come off the sideline and it's nonchalant.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I'm just worried about the nonchalants, man.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
I think I think worried about it last week.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I'm worried about it this week.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
And it's not it. But it doesn't come from them.
It comes from us. And we finally recognized our role.
You know, it's not necessarily as the panic brothers, it's
as the uh don't give a crap brothers. Yeah, these
guys are all buttoned up. This guy's wearing a blazer
Nightingale looks like he's about to litigate a serious case
(10:37):
somewhere in Charleston, South Carolina, in his tope suit. And
here come these two eight now.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
The baseball you know they're serious.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
They are, but we we balance it out.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
I mean, we didn't come down there like two clowns.
I mean, it's not like we came down there like
bullsl the clown.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
We didn't.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
No, I don't think we were that bad.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
No, I'm not saying we were that bad. I'm saying
that what.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Look what uh, Look what Pedro Martinez was wearing. If
anybody looked like a cloud, he had cloud hair, cloud suit.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But he was still behaving with a very serious.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
And you know what, I want to say this too.
I want to say this. I understand having security and
all that, but once once you're down onto the field
and the only people down on the field are media,
why are you protecting the media from the media Pedro
and the Grande Man And it's not Bobby Kennedy at
(11:30):
the Ambassador Hotel. Guys, Okay, you don't exactly, you don't.
You don't need to protect Pedro Martinez from Bob Knightagin.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
They protect better than they protected Bob.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Well, exactly, they don't need it, is my point, Matt.
They don't need it. You know, you don't need to
protect uh Pedro Martinez from Jason Stark. You don't need
to protect them from from Nomar Garcia Park. It's thank
you for clapping Kate's Kate's is clapping off camera.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yes, aren't they protecting him? Are they? If I may,
aren't they protecting him? And by protecting I mean just
essentially running interference from Tim Kats because Pedro doesn't want
to say no.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Well, he said his person, he said yes to David Maassy.
But the problem was Kate's wasn't even aiming that High
Massa was gonna get Pedro. Kates just wanted the grandy
Man right. And you know what the grandy man wanted us.
He could him over two or three times, and their
punkass security is blocked like what's so different about the
(12:34):
grandy Man than us. We're all in them. I mean,
they're not bringing out Glass now to talk to the
grandy Man. They brought him out to talk to us.
They're not bringing over Andrew Friedman to talk to the
grandy Man. They brought him over to talk to us.
Wait a second, Tyler Glass, you saw all that. Wait no, no, no, no,
Tyler Glass now doesn't need security, but your bs postgame show. Now, Look,
(12:57):
if it's Jeter and a Rod, jeets, jeets, jeets, tell we.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Lived in the same building. Let you go outside of
the fluid.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Tell him Jeets, tell them it's me.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Tell him it's.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Jeter and a Rod. Have security, but they shouldn't be
protected from the media either. And I don't. I don't
like that. I thought I.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Think it worked out. It worked out splendidly. However good
the grandy Man might have been.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
You think Andrew Friedman was better than the Grandyman.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Freedman was better, Glass Now was better, Eric Carros was better,
John Hayman and a quick quip in a Northwestern polo
better talking Steve Schner.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I don't look, I don't want any That's what the
Petros in mind.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
I don't want to talk to Jimmy Rollins. I don't
want to talk to the grandy Man. But I also
don't want to see these people acting like they're important.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Like they don't want to be told.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
I can't like they're like they're protecting Bobby Kennedy at
the Ambassador Hotel, which they.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It's all they have. It's TBS, right, TV, it's all
they have they have back to they're done like TBS
is now back to Big Bang Theory reruns, you know,
to simulcasting True Team and the punk ass Prankster's right
until the NCAA tournament comes around in six months, have.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Some college football action. Don't act like college football is
nothing like nonchalant about it.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
We cannot make decisions that cost the team and then
come off the sideline and it's nonjalant.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
My point is is we prepare for Dave Roberts. TBS
has their role in this, and their role is to
pretend like they're way more important and in demand than
they read.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
That's what bothered me. Our role nobody cares and then
Kates made us look like punks, look all desperate for
the grandy Man. We don't need to lay down with
the grand Man.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
It's okay.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Our role was filled as well, acting like fools, screaming
and yelling. And next thing, you know, all these media folks,
media types that are like, puh, look at those clowns
over there. Oh, the clowns that are talking to Tyler
Glass Snow, Oh the clowns that are having a conversation
with Andrew Friedman.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Those clowns. Yeah, we looked at me. We looked like
the guy that showed up at the high school dance
with an underwear on the outside, and everybody's like, why
is that guy wearing his underwear on the outside, And
then a hot chick came over and danced with us
and rubbed her crotch on our underwear.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Exactly. Great sports talk, Great sports talk.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Like people acting like they're better than everybody just because
they're protecting a Rod and the grandy Man.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I'm tired of them act that way when they go home.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I won't.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
Go to bed.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
I wanted to piece about it. I said what I said,
and it'll be a Fox homer either.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
All right, we got out there for the World Series.
A Rod and those dudes are gonna have people all
around that.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
The security for them is necessary and very.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Definitely is not.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Look he needs trying to get it. Derek Jeter, he
protected from battle.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Breakaway a rod security detail and give him someone the
points to the camera he's supposed to look at instead.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
How about that? Wow, Matt, Yes, that's right.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
He took a day run pretty hard.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Right.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Well, I think their security is very important.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Dave Roberts does not need security when he calls us.
Maybe he does. Maybe someone's gonna dial the phone and
then handed to him. Whoever he gets it though, it'll
be join us next.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Make AM five seventy or your favorite AM five seventy
LA Sports podcast a preset on the iHeartRadio using Apple
car Play or Android Auto road.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Trip all summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Monday Night Football Tonight Seattle Houston. That'll be at seven pm.
It's a Monday night football double header, so we're taking
the late game. No play by play tomorrow, but you'll
have off day dotch or talk as the World Series
does not get started until Friday. Wednesday. It is the
kickoff of the l A Clippers season. They will be
in Utah playing the Jazz. That'll say Thursday, we'll have
(17:10):
Chargers Vikings Thursday night football and then Friday, of course
Game one of the World Series, Game seven between the
Blue Jason Seattle Mariners will get going in about an
hour and a half as the Dodgers will wait their opponent.
It will determine whether or not they start at home
or on the road Seattle, they start at home, Toronto,
they will start on the road.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
And you know who's in on the board today, and
he is so excited about Wednesday night and let's go.
That's going to be a flex alert. Yeah, Ronnie's still
out recovering from the big weddings. Adam from Fox Sports Radio,
(17:58):
Adam from Clipper Talk, Adam from the Clipper pregame show.
And Adam is very much like Dante Hicks was very
unhappy and Clerks the movie was supposed to be here.
He's not even supposed to be here today.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Minute.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
I don't know what happened, but I had like a
week of notice.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
But he's still very unhappy.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
I'm good Case accused me of that earlier.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I don't know what I can tell. He said, Well,
Kate is not going to say you're in a bad mood.
If you're not in a bad mood.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Kate sees me on the board and just to suit, Well, yeah,
it's been like two years since you've seen me here.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
But yeah, that's the alarm.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
When we see you, we know that somebody is going
to be sour and bower and that is your nature.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Man, I'm schipper, I'm upbeat, ready to go.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Well standing.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
You're showing respect to the show.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Now when you're the Clipper guy and the Dodgers are
making a deep run like they are this year, are
you resentful that you're Clippers are being put on this
the proverbial back burner of life.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Not at all home of the Dodgers. They deserve it, all.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Right now, all right, that's a good diplomatic answer.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Well, and maybe you know, not necessarily the time to
put the spotlight on the Clippers.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Just saying, you know, saying Utah is taking them down
he Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Just saying, you know, like maybe you prefer to talk
about the basketball actually, uh, stuff on the court when
it comes to the Clippers talking about you know what
I mean, just like, hey, let's let's talk about how
Kahi played in that game wasn't that great.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
I heard that Kawhi was wrapped up with some pretty
shady characters.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Your husband keeps lousy company.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Missus Sampson as bad as there is in LA and
that's as bad as there is any.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Comment, Adam Tim, You're right. I hate that I'm here today.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Oh come on, you're not going to do your job
in comment.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
What do you want to know?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
What's going on over there?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
That's what I want to know.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Poblaw hasn't done a podcast in about a week. Now
we're in the clear.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I think that guy. Do you now if you saw
that guy, Pablo Torre, who's trying to take down the
very ownership of the franchise that you hold so dear
the Los Angeles Clippers, if you saw him in the street,
would you kick his nuts?
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Cutting off a limb from one of those trees and
hitting him in the backroom?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Wow? Wow, that could be a hate crime. I can
see the headline now, white man beats minority?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Did you do you refresh his Twitter page daily?
Speaker 7 (20:30):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Somebody just asked me on it, so I'm going to
see it one way or another.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Yeah, they'll send it to me.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Have you made any public comment concerning this or not.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Done like ten shows on it? Okay, you know what
I say for the truth?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Yeah, that's the Petro some money approach. Right, well done,
great sports talk. He did do one thing that I
know for certain. Ramona Shellbourne wore the wrath of fully
functional employee Adam after some media nation Shenanigan's.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
What'd she do?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Well, yeah, she was pepperink and you were not.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
An off air conversation. Pee, how dare you?
Speaker 4 (21:04):
What are you talking about ice? I saw you talk
about it on Instagram before that.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
I consulted p on this was.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
He said, Hey, should I go after Ramona? I said absolutely.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I don't know why I asked. You knew what the
answer was going to be, guns out.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
You know, we have the state of hate at the
end of every year, zero concern with our standing or reputation,
and the greater assembled media of Los Angeles.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
I simply point out that while she was saying that
nobody else was getting questions that were going to ask
about aspiration, she got five of the eleven questions.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
We do have some sound from the presser and it's
crazy because you keep saying questions and to me, it
seemed like she was more making statements.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I am Barona, I am the one ruler of all
the jungle.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Markooner's blood is the flood of the.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Jack Wade, really really trying to own the story.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
You know, destroyed my enemy.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
I bark at p people on my arcade and they
will all die. All right, as our holding pattern comes
to an end while we're waiting for Dave Roberts, uh,
we we are probably gonna move on to how was
your weekend? Now?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I'm gonna do what I do. The weekend is my
How was your weekend?
Speaker 4 (22:26):
I hope so, Matt, you know, I'd hate for your
weekend to be interrupted like my football story was the
other day the whipper around Vet or somebody like that.
Dalt rushing, d rush rushing, excuse me, I'd hate for
it to be uh interrupted. So let's get to it, Matt.
How was your weekend? There? I bet you had a
great weekend.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I did you know we have the show Friday at
Dodger Stadium an early one Friday night.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Of course you had an easy time getting out of
Dodger Stadium, that's for sure, right, Uh, you didn't get
giant cotton candy here or anything.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
It was not great, but it was not the worst
of days that we were out there. I will say
of all the days it was probably no. It was terrible.
Watch the Dodger game with the wife child, got some
takeout from finn Bars Place. The listens to the show regularly.
Saturday am served with a friend of mine, Brian, that
I had not served with in a while, to a
(23:18):
spot I hadn't been at in a minute. Went up
to you previewed it on Friday. It was a beautiful event.
Ax als Eric Stevens brother Brian, got a chance to
catch up with them. Great people, great event. Tip of
the cap to Brett from Pepper He was there as well.
Even though we had a show later that night down
at Great Park and Irvine, we had a second show.
(23:38):
Preston played the event and then she was hired to
play the opening of the Yogaba Gabba art exhibit at
the Brea Gallery. That was really cool again. Friend of
the show, Christian mc bat, commander of the Aquabats, asked
Preston if she would play. She had a song on
this season's soundtrack outside very cool. She was playing Originals covers.
(23:59):
People were into it, but very cool moment when she
played the song from the show. There were a couple
of little kids that totally knew it and were right
there jumping around in front of her as she played it,
So that was a really neat moment. After that, went
up to the mentor's former PMS guest John Mintor owner
Glomar bats.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
I wore my Glomar bad hat on Friday and nobody cared.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
He saw it.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Well, he came, well, thank you, John.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
He saw it. He was very excited and said a
huge thank you to you for wearing the Glomar hat.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Out at Di and Io. I went down onto the
field and made my put myself in discomfort all for Glomar.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
You earned the approval of the good doctor, who asked
me like, why aren't you wearing Glomar every day you're there.
It's like, that's a fair point, good doctor, But I
don't know. I have a very small head. The hat
doesn't fit me well, to be honest, and I gave
him the tim kayes. I did watch the sc Notre
Dame with those gentlemen as well Sunday.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Well, what a stupid game. They shouldn't play that anymore. No,
those two teams don't look cool on the field or anything.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Sunday, I startup with a good doctor. Met the judge
out in the water, a judge Pittman for IDEM.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
But the monkey that's in Dave Weese's office that used
to be in.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
No, this was a non Martin judge. Cordelaine is where
he sits on the bench. He was down for the
Charger game. Enjoyed talking shop with him, and then went
up to SOFI. Disappointing result. Field looked incredible, all yellows eh.
Not sure about the uniforms, but the I guess the
kids love him, so.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
You don't like the velvet Underground Banano and Andrew Warhol album was.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Uniforms necessarily crip, but you know me, I'm just being selfish.
The numbers were not visible from our booth. Literally could
not tell what anyone's number was. So if they're going
to wear them again, I would politely request maybe a thicker.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
You think they'll do that for you, Matt.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
No, I don't, but I'm just gonna still lodge the request.
Can we get a thicker border on that number? Please?
Bets ross no idea? Who's who out there? So that
was my week.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Joining us right now. Come on, he waited till your
weekend was out.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
No he did not.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
He did.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
That better not be the case. No, he just called okay.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
On your Southern California Toyota Dealers celebrity hotline. As the
Dodgers continue to win, his legend grows, not just for
selling wine with the beautiful red stitchitch World Series winning
manager and doing a great job and challenging the Dodgers
(26:25):
to be better and better every single playoff series. It
is Dave Roberts joining us from Chavez Ravine and the
Dodgers workout today. World Series starts on Friday, and we
don't know who they're gonna get, but we do know
that Dave Roberts will be pulling the levers and doing
his thing that excites the city so much. Dave, thanks
so much for doing it. We appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
How you feeling today, I'm feeling good.
Speaker 8 (26:50):
Boys, getting ready on my way to the ballpark right now.
We got to work out today and get to see
some pitchers, some guys take battie practice. We'll have that
Game seven ALCS on at Dodger Stadium. But like you said, Petrows,
I'm excited for our city. Our city needs it, and
our players are excited.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
It really is something special for the whole city. Everybody
talks about it in places that you could never imagine
them talking about baseball. But it is a uniting thing
for our city, like you said, Dave, and it's a
special thing. Do you like the five I mean, when
you have time off, no matter what, whether you like
it or not, do you feel good about filling it?
Speaker 8 (27:33):
You know what I do feel. I do like the
way we're feeling it. I think it's sort of we're
kind of at a place where it doesn't really matter
what we prefer. I like the idea of not giving
yourself an out or an excuse. So we're those of opponent.
Whether we travel Wednesday or we're home on you know,
(27:54):
we stay back and wait for the Mariners or whatever
five days, keep going into a series. It doesn't matter
or as Yamamoto said week ago, losing is not an option.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
You uh, you had a choice, You had a very
you know, I would say, I don't know if it
was top or easy. When it comes to who you
wanted to start Game one in each of these series,
you decided to go with Blake Snell. If it was Yamamoto,
if it was Glass novel, was Otani, nobody would have
you know, Donna said anything about it, just in terms
of how you lined it up. What was it that
led you to make that decision of how you wanted
(28:26):
the lady starters out in that particular order.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
I think if you look at the schedule of that
cs UH, Blake is a guy that we felt most
comfortable going on regular rest, which is four days off. Yamamoto,
we've done a week off. We've done you know, five
days off for the most part of rest. And so
if you're looking at a potential game series, obviously you
(28:51):
know six games is more the sixth game is more
like the fifth game is more likely than the sixth game,
and so you try to put your players in the
best position of success. So if there was a fifth game,
we felt better with Blake and as opposed to Yamamoto
right there, and it kind of couldn't have worked out
any better.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
You go to the order Dave, as Dave Roberts joins
us first game of the World Series will be Friday.
You will hear that at five eight pm. Opponent not
known yet Toronto or Seattle. But you go to the lineup,
and here's Will Smith, who's who's dealing with a fracture
in a hand, not sure you know what series is
going to play in. But then we get to the
NLCS and man, it looked like Will Smith all over again.
(29:31):
Just kind of what is what is he going through?
Are you surprised by that performance at all? And how
hard is that? Because it feels like it's a very
rhythm kind of position right hitting against these pitchers who
are so incredibly good, especially in the playoffs, to be
able to just kind of look like the Will Smith
we expected.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
Not surprised. You know, he's got a he's got a
really slow heart beat. Certainly he's not one hundred percent.
And I got to give Ben Bet a lot of
props for kind of being a stop gap behind the plate,
and he was fantastic. But yeah, to have you know,
a three time All Star back behind the plate to
(30:10):
hit him in the middle of the order, we've obviously
makes us a lot better. And I just can't say
enough about Will and very you know, in my opinion,
is still very underrated.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
We can't say enough about the Dodgers and what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
It's been fun on the station it's been fun in town,
and the man in charge, Dave Roberts, a great ambassador
at baseball to the whole city, is our guest right now.
I got to ask because I mean, I know you
guys do a lot of things on purpose, but there's
got to be some luck involved as well. That all
four of these starters are up and running at this
(30:45):
point in the season. It had to be something you
guys had in mind all year.
Speaker 8 (30:51):
Yeah. I wouldn't say that's luck, though. I think that's
part of being able to.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Hold.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
It's kind of like that whole Braveheart, you know, or
Russell Crowtz or Mel Gibson saying Emmel or Russell's saying hold, Hold, Hold,
And I think it's yes, Mel, And I think that
it's like with us. You know, whether you have Blake
or you have Tyler, you have and the guys in
the bullpen or you know, show Hey not ramping him up,
(31:19):
it's like hold, hold, hold, and you want to be
able to do it. So they have bullets at the
end of the season. So I do credit obviously the
entire organization. We have depth to kind of overcome a
summer where you're not fully healthy. But that wasn't luck.
That was more kind of methodical making sure we kind
of hold our guys back to make sure they're ready
(31:40):
to go when needed through October.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
And you know, it was kind of like that with
Otani and the pitching, the hold hold and what we've
seen is is unbelievable. We lack so much perspective on this, Dave.
I mean, you're a guy who did the impossible as
a player when you guys came back in Boston down
down h three, So you've seen that, you know, in
your life before, something no one's ever done before, and
(32:05):
you're a big part of that, a legendary part of it.
Are we ever going to get perspective on what Otawi's doing?
Can we ever really define it properly?
Speaker 8 (32:15):
I don't think so. You know what's funny is I
was talking to a friend of mine the other day
and he actually took offence to when I said it
was the greatest baseball performance of all time, and his
counter was, how do you even say that it's the
greatest sports performance of all time? So you know what,
if you kind of put it in that context, it's
hard to argue that. But yeah, you know, he's a
(32:38):
special player certainly the biggest of stages, and what he
did was was memorable. And I said it the other night,
it's he created a lot of memories for a lot
of people that night.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Is it hard to put the roster together when you've
got to figure out whose because you know, you do
have those those guys like you mentioned Ben, you know,
and how big he was in sort of splitting those
games with Will Smith. But at this point do you
feel like it's it's automatic or are there still some
tough decisions to make when it comes to this this
final series.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
I think it's pretty much cut and paste. You know,
for from the CS to the World Series, there might
be one whether it's a position player, pitcher, we might
kind of flip in and out, but depending on the
matchup potential. But I think that this one, you know,
seven game series, so you're certainly leaning a little bit
(33:31):
more towards the pitching. So yeah, I think it's pretty
going to be pretty similar.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Just you know, we as we know the home runs, right,
those are great epic moments, you remember those. The starting
pitching has been so dominant, seems to be the prevailing
theme of the Dodgers through these nine games. But Dave,
what about defense, Like, can you share with us and
the listeners, like how much work goes into defense because
you think about, you know, Freddy digging out that ball
(33:57):
to clinch a you know, to clinch a series, whether
a clincher game. I should say about the wheel play,
just how much these players put into that particular facet
that maybe goes well. It is the most overlooked of
pitching and hitting, and then defense, of course is a
huge part of it.
Speaker 8 (34:15):
Yeah, the defense and the base running certainly are overlooked,
and it's one of those things that really doesn't show
up in the scorecard. But yeah, and even key K's
play the other night was a special play and where
Shohy could have gotten a little bit more taxed and stressed.
And Keiky has any ending double play, you know, so
those things matter where where I think, Yeah, you mentioned
(34:36):
the Freddie play and there's a play even for that,
the force play to get that lead run, and then
the scow from Tommy Edmond. And we've been very sound defensively,
and in the postseason things get so magnified and the
extra outs, the extra base that you give up or
the base that you can get on the offensive side
certainly get more magnified, especially when pitching is at a premium.
(34:58):
So it's something our work at every day. Chris Woodward,
Dino Ebel, all those guys put in a lot of work.
And our guys, to their credit, they love to practice.
They understand the little things of the game. And even
that Max Munty play, you know, that ball to his
left infield in fields, it slides turns those a strike
(35:19):
to Will who makes a great catches. It makes a
great tag to kind of limit damage for a glass
now sending. So all those things don't get lost on us.
Speaker 7 (35:28):
Though.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
I got to ask you because you do such a
great job of celebrating your players and helping us find
perspective on what they're accomplishing and what kind of people
they are. But this is your tenth season as a
Dodger skipper, You're headed to your fifth World Series. You
know there's three guys like Key k Munsey and Kersh
around from that twenty seventeen World Series team. Do you
(35:50):
allow yourself to look back on what you're accomplishing, what
you've been doing as a baseball manager for a decade.
Speaker 8 (36:00):
You know, I try not to kind of get into
that headspace certainly obviously gratitude for being in this organization.
I love the Dodgers. I said it many times over.
I'm I've been invested for a long time. We have
a great organization, great players, you know what. Honestly, I
just guard against complacency and I'm always trying to get better,
(36:23):
trying to learn. But yeah, when you're talking about Allston,
you know, Tommy and Sparky Anderson in the postseason and
those names, Joe Torri, it's certainly mind blowing. But you know,
I guess I'll win four more games and then I'll
kind of reflect on that over the offseason.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
We know you got to go. But I would love
to ask real quick, because we talked about it in
the open here, Dave, our role in all of this
and the clowns that we act like when we come
down on the field, do you do you notice certain
numbers of the media how they behave during the playoff
runs because we're wondering whether or not we're a net
positive or a net negative for the Dodgers. When we
come down for an hour doing our radio show on
(37:05):
the Wireless Monch, do you even notice?
Speaker 8 (37:08):
All right? I love it. I do notice I noticed,
and it's certainly a net positive positive. I do think
that obviously, you know, you guys, you guys have a
lot on your plates. You know there's a lot of sports,
a lot going on to Los Angeles. But I do
feel that, you know, for where we put the organization,
the magnitude of this series this postseason, for you guys
(37:29):
to show face that means a lot to the players
and to be boots on the ground. We love having
you guys there.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
Saw that guy calling the Fresno game last week, and
now he's here with us. We're gonna come dressed like
the brave heart.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Guys. Hold there it is, there, it is.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
It's Dave Roberts with the Dodgers holding back the starters.
We love you, Dave. Congratulations on all your success, have
a great workout today. Thank you for spending next time.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
Oh thanks for having me on there, he.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Goes Dave Roberts. Ladies and gentleman, Hold see, we're important
net positive because he would have told us, hey, guys,
don't come down on.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
The field anymore.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
What do you mean.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
I think he would have said that he's a manager,
he manages people, you know what, it'd be better for us.
If you guys just stayed in there, think he'd say
that on the air. I think you would. Looks he's
always been an honest guy. Right, He's called out players,
not you know, with malice, but when maybe the situation
suggests that it does need to be acknowledged, I think
(38:35):
he do the same. You know. Look, it's a punch
with a velvet glove.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Well that's not what happened.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
No, Instead, I think you guys are great.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
What do you mean. We'll be right back with the
rest of the weekends. But as it always is, a
terrible downhill jaunt after Matt's weekend, which is the peak.

I had a great weekend. Started Friday night. I got
out of the am FI seventy suite right after the
bottom half of the first inning when Shoeyotani hit his
first of three home runs. And now I'm kicking myself
because I should have stayed for history and said I
was there and been able to talk about how.
Speaker 4 (41:42):
I we just want the one that went out of
the stadium, though you saw that.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
I didnt seem always in a car for that one.
I was driving home, fighting through traffic to get home.

that was a distant second, too long of a wait.
We didn't want to go back to Don Kuko's. We
actually wanted to go to this Japanese barbecue place here
in Burbank, right on Riverside, and there was seven parties
ahead of us, and it's not a very big spot.
(42:32):
So they said about forty five minutes, and I said,
that's that's not going to happen. I'm hungry and I
want to eat right now. And so I had big
work right now.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
God damn it.
Speaker 3 (42:43):
My wife goes, there's a spot right down the street.
Let's go see if there's a wait. So we went

pubic hair away from one of that one for Old
Pete Carroll Pete study. Didn't see it coming.

out of Dodger Stadium after the game. I was kept
out out of the dugout club, so my ass kissing
was incomplete. I had to kiss the ass of the
Toyota guy in the in the vestibule area. And then
the next morning I took my daughter to soccer but
(45:13):
could not stay to watch the game. I had to
go to work and I did, and in between the
games I did. I took the spotter and the stat

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
