(00:49):
with the before the Show podcast,because people are sad because the Dodgers are
on the brink of but at thesame time, the Dodgers much like a
dying dog. There. I knowthis guy, he's kind of a cruel
angry guys from Burbank and he sentme a gift or a jeff or whatever
the kids call it of the oldYellow moment where the kid had to shoot

(01:12):
old Yeller and like pull the triggerand turn his face away and then a
certain you know, and yeah,and a guy sent me that and it
got me thinking, like, youknow, the death of the Dodger season,
as we've seen before. I mean, we've been at the doorstep of
despair more times than we've been inthe palace of celebration. Shoot, this

(01:34):
is the fourth time this postseason we'vehad to go through this. Well,
we've been on the funeral pyre ofdeath and years passed right here on your
Dodger station. I'm twenty seventeen,the Astros defeated the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium
and ended the season and slung theirpootsos all over the bound and that was
the cheating thing, right. Intwenty eighteen, the Red Sox defeated the

(01:55):
Dodgers and ended their season at DodgerStadium, right after Tim Kates made an
ass of himself on MLB TV sayingthe Dodgers are going to come back.
They almost did. They won thateighteen inning game on that Friday night almost.
He made a fool yourself, andthen that poor guy died, and
you didn't act as contrite as youshould. I thought I did. I'd
like to tweet he really showed youyour true colors there. In twenty nineteen,

(02:23):
the Nationals ended the Dodgers season atDodger Stadium in the NLDS. I'd
say, who can forget that night? But we can't because there's pictures of
Don Martin laid out. Yeah,like, oh my gosh, are we
gonna do? We needed ten nowin twenty twenty. Nobody got anything out
of it really because they were inTexas unless you were a rash out there
eating a HOGI well, Dave gotCOVID, got COVID, he got something

(02:46):
out of it. We don't talkabout it. H And that was the
World Series. And then today,I mean, are they're gonna chop up?
You know what I heard? Whythey don't like the tomahawk chop?
Like all the LA times people attackthe tomahawk chopped? Why because because it's
well yeah it also they all it'sa way to get after casting because the

(03:08):
chop started when he was in Atlanta. That's righting the nineties, and everybody's
like this is horrible. Not onlydo they do it down there, they
got their phones out. Everybody theyget, they get the big foam chopper.
And I'm not gonna lie. Imean when you play it and that

(03:30):
drum starts, you know, Ijust think it's something in our in our
in our human just our primal nature. You know, you start to just
kind of rock back and forth.Hey, dude, you don't have to
tell me Petros. I was onkickoff team nineteen ninety five John Brows High
School that was doing that and thewhole John Bros. You know, stadium
going how do you record? Sile? I mean, I mean, can

(03:54):
you not get jacked up on thekickoff down? But how do you sleep?
Am I right side? Easily?I never got like I played at
Florida State against them. Oh,you have to taught me how I played
the Burrows. But that they choppedus down. Well, I wasn't a
pump up there. It was horrible. They chopped us down. They chopped
us right out of Tallahassee. Wellwe used it kind of like, you

(04:15):

and not led. Well, theydied through the flaming spear down on the
fifty. I said, start thefucking bus. They still do that there,
Yeah, everybody still does everything exceptfor your high school. Change their

(04:41):
in Michigan. There's coyotes all overthe damn city. There's no centaurs in
Culver City. Should have called themthe coyote. You ever seen a big
horseman walking around Culver City with abig dong? No? No, no,
no, you have no. Theydon't exist. So, you know,
it's just part of a you know, look, there's a lot of
homeless and we are forty year oldwhite men and the world is leaving us
behind, and we are bitter.They're using our platforms to lash out.

(05:04):
Ain't that the truth. Every oncein a while, when somebody's with the
chop start, people text me theygo, oh, I hit this racist
chop me too, And it's like, you're right, man, it's just
bad. So what am I supposedto do with those spear stickers that were
on the side of my helmet thatI kept and I have at home,
Like, am I supposed to lookat them and say? What was I
thinking? I don't know. Imean, Saint John Bosco says, fear

(05:26):
of the spear. Oh they stillhave it. It's right, we had
those same spears on the side ofour helmet too, So I don't know.
I mean, I don't know,and I feel bad for those two
girls in my high school. Idressed up as a little Indian girls mascots
in high school, with the tasselshoes and everything war paint. Did they
have a pappoose papoos? Yeah,like a baby in the back because when
