Episode Transcript

(00:00):
It's time for a COVID edition ofthe PMS before the Show podcast. Everything
we do is a COVID edition,as it is the age of Cornervarius Kates,
and thanks for taking off your DonCuco mask to do the intro there,
Matt is down in North Orange isan official COVID edition. The Low

(00:20):
Salamados Derby is coming up and we'repretty excited about it. And that's why
Matt's down in North Orange County.Saturday, first post, three thirty Eastern
twelve thirty Pacific time on TVG.We can't wait, and Matt is down
in a seal beach today. Butinteresting, Matt, because today, and
I don't know, maybe you justdidn't want to see the traffic up by

(00:41):
the four h five or whatever,but today was the day that they put
up the scoreboard and they're saying ninetyfive percent complete on the future home of
the Chargers. I don't know ifanybody can actually go there to watch him
yet. Terrible time to open anew stadium. Bad timing for Stan Cronkey,
but I guess he could take thefinancial hit, but they did it.
They put up the thing today.Everybody put out a bunch of videos

(01:03):
so far stadium is quietly and tragicallybeen finally put together here as the season
approaches, Matt, your thoughts didyou said quietly? Right? Quietly?
Is what's happening there? Sadly,the beautiful, what is considered to be
the most technologically. Do you thinkit's not been quiet? Matt? You
think it's been like a little bitlike the whole NFL in l a kind

(01:26):
of a force fed too many people. I think, in the words of
our colleague at Fox Sports Radio,Rob Parker, I think his sort of
approach to how quiet things are whenthey go horribly wrong in sports is it's
so quiet you can hear a mouseurinate on fill in the blank. I
think for like Detroit, it's likea vacant lot. For LA, it's

(01:47):
like a construction sign for LA.It's like you could hear a mouse urinate
on a sign picture of Todd Gurley. Yeah, there you go. Yeah,
I gots That is, unfortunately thecase. Although there was an interesting
little wrinkle of news out there todaythat COVID nineteen waivers were potentially going to
be submitted to season ticket holders tosee if they could get to that fifteen
to twenty percent because of course theseare just gigantic stadiums where they could perhaps

(02:12):
figure out a way to socially distancepeople. But in terms of so FI,
I didn't think it was going tobe done. You know where I
stood when this whole thing first gotstarted. Figured that it was going to
take a while. The water table. Were very outspoken regarding the water table
and what that meant for the construction, and very wrong, very geographical and

(02:34):
geological of you to understand, youknow, the levels of water under the
city of Englewood exactly. Someone hadto But thankfully I was wrong, as
I typically am about most things.And it appears as though, as you
said, ninety five percent down thebig video if you want to see AT,
the Chargers have it up on theirTwitter feed, that ribbon, double
sided ribbon being raised into its permanentspot inside of Sofi Stadium, which I

(02:58):
would assume is how the majority ofpeople, if it's anything like AT and
T and the Jerry Doome, willend up watching the game at it exactly
what's on the field, because youjust can't help yourself. It's so damn
freaking huge and compelling you start watchingthat screen, putting themselves at risk.
No doubt doing so with your mouthagape and all the germs flying in your
mouth. It's so fine, Ohmy god. But I'm just glad that

(03:23):
I mean not glad because I'm it'ssad that there's the age of Cornervarius and
that people can't make money and smallbusinesses and all that stuff that we lament
every day. But one of thesmall perks, much like traffic dissipating and
things like that, is that LindsayTheory and Gary Klein and all our friends
that cover the Rams, all thesycophants Fred, that they they're not there

(03:46):
today, like, oh you know, and they're hard hats just having the
biggest bonerino about the thing of alltime. You know. I think these
are the greatest field suites in allof sports. Can you see from there?
Of course you can? Have youseen it? Yeah? Sadly,
the media parade and the media circlejerk if you will, all over the

(04:10):
Rams with their with their horned helmets, their blue horn construction helmets cannot take
place. How is Fred going tocheck out the field and sell suits if
he can't go over there when theyrevealed the new stadium thing? I mean,
how I think he's got a droneand he snuck it in. Check
it out. I can see iton my phone. Look at this angle.

(04:31):
Yeah, but there's gonna be onehundred players standing in front of you
when you're in that Sweet Mayor butsold me a police drow and I'm looking.
Well, there you go. Checkout so far, it's it's getting
close. But you can't go thereto watch a game and to fall,
So sorry, you're shit out ofluck.
