Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, here we go, Fred Rogan Jonas Knoxen today
for Rodney am Ive seventy LA Sports, and Jonas likes
to work when the Dodgers are going to have a
good night. That's his deal. Yeah, Jonas shows up when
he thinks something good's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well, I mean, I don't want, you know, to show
up and everybody's pissed off. You know, everybody's in a
stressed out mood. We've been down this road too many times, man,
and it's.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Not a fun place. I know what it's like.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Look over it at the network side of things, quote
unquote over on Ventura and Sepulvida there. I mean, the
place is inundated with Dodger fans, but Dodger fans that
I've watched age before my very eyes during playoff games
over the past few years.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Okay, I've seen.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
That happen and it's not a pretty place. So I
want to show up when things are good because I'm
tired of seeing people stressed out about it.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Are you talking about the homeless people that walk around
outside the studio there?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I know radio doesn't pay that much, Fred, but you
don't need to rub it in for God's sake.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I'm not saying that. I'm just saying, you know, you
said a bunch of people that have aged before your
very eyes, and I know there's a bunch of people outside.
With all due respect, I know you do a terrific
job and the show is great. They got brown bags
and they're tossing them back when you walk in. You
know that as well as I do. Sometimes you hang with.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Them, you know you don't.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Kind of is a bummer. When's the last time you
went to a liquor store, like fifteen minutes ago? Okay,
all right, well you beat me to it, so here, Like,
here's what's a bummer. I don't know that liquor stores
have brown bags anymore. Everything's like a black plastic bag
when you go into a liquor store. You ever noticed that.
I'm not talking like a seven eleven. I'm not talking
(01:33):
about like one of these big name chains. I'm talking
about like a liquor store. Like you walk into a
liquor store and there's a pair of glasses that they
say or Oakley's, but there's an l missing in the Oakley,
you know, Like they're like liquor store Loaks you know
what I mean, like like stuff like that. You like,
if you go up to the cash register, they've got
(01:54):
an Abba zaba that's been sitting there since Don Zimmer
was alive. They've got, you know, a can and wrappers
with food on them. They've got the orange price tags
they came out of the ticket gun like they've got
you know, all like just the you like a cheap
made tequila at home that's basically VCR cleaner, but it's
in like a glastic handgun. Stuff Like what like a
(02:17):
liquor store when you go into him, now everything's black
plastic bag. Nobody does a brown bag anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, what kind of liquor store were you in?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I mean, nothing to brag about, but I'm just saying,
when's the last time you went to one that had
a brown paper bag?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
They don't exist anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
What's the one across the street here? I can't remember
the name, right across the street? Not A and O Liquors?
Is it liquers? A? Thank you? Katie jump on? Katie's
working for Ronnie today. Katie get on, And apparently Katie
has a great knowledge of this because she said, yeah,
it is A and O liquor. Do you go to
A and O liquor, Katie.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
I mean you have to before you fill in for Ronnie.
You know he sets the bar so high.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Right, you need something to help out. Yeah, by listen,
I get it makes all the sense of the war.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I've told you.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
One of the cruel twists of fate in by radio
gods is the fact at the network on Sepulta Inventor
over at Fox Sports Radio, it's right next to a
Whole Foods, just a friendly reminder that no, you will
not be going there for lunch. You're stuck at Alpoyo Loco,
(03:27):
or you're stuck getting a pack of Grandma's cookies at
Winds of the World across from the Chevron or seventy
six there that has literally been there since the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Those are good cookies, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
And they stood the test of time. It's like those
McDonald's hamburgers that somebody put in their closet and found
years later and it hadn't changed in size. I don't
know what's going in them, but it works.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I told you the story about the guy that used
to work with me right with the White Castle Hamburgers.
Ever tell you the story.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
By the way, Kevin, you notice it is always got
to be white Castle.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Okay, that's why Kevin is not going to respond. He
doesn't appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I'd storm out of the studio too if I am.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Who are you Eric Dickerson? Anyway, So I work with
this guy, and he goes back to New York and
he visits his family, and he loves white Castle hamburgers.
So he buys like two bags of white Castle hamburgers.
All right, he takes them home, he puts them on
the counter, and you're thinking, well, you know, why would
you take two bags home and put them on the
counter because his plan is to fly back to la
(04:29):
the next day with him. Now, these were cooked at
white Castle, the little square hamburgers. He puts them in
the bag, puts them on his counter, goes to sleep,
gets up, takes the hamburgers, goes to the airport. JFK.
Gets on the plane with the burgers, puts them in
the overhead compartment. Two bags of white Castle hamburgers. They
have been cooked. They're not frozen, they've been cooked. So
(04:53):
he puts the two bags in the overhead compartment. The
flight is what five and a half six hours back. Yeah, okay,
they're up there in the overhead compartment. He takes the
hamburgers out of the overhead compartment, he goes, he gets
his luggage. What's that going to be forty five minutes? Yeah, okay,
So now, and he had to travel to the airport,
so that was probably an hour. So it's probably seven
(05:14):
hours now, and he left him out over night and
that's probably eight hours. So it's fifteen hours since those
hamburgers have been cooked. Then he's got to drive home. Right,
that's another forty five minutes. So now what do we like?
Fifteen sixteen hours? Says you about the hamburgers. He goes
(05:37):
in the house. He puts the burgers on the table.
He says, I think I'm gonna have one. He takes
the burger out, he puts it in the microwave to
warm it up. He warms it up, he eats the burger.
As a matter of fact, he was craving them so
badly because he brought them from New York. He eats
three of them. He sits there, he eats the burgers.
(05:58):
About a half hour later, they rush him to the
hospital because he poisoned himself. Because you cannot. You cannot
take burgers and leave them out, put them in the
overhead compartment of a plane, fly back, put them on
the table, warm them up, and eat them.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Okay, all right, well yeah, because I was thinking about
this when you're telling me the story.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I remember my uncle telling me this back in the day.
He said, one of the food, because there's certain foods
that you could warm up the next day and they're
great and like so if you make it for dinner
the night before, there's certain foods that you can warm
up the next day and they taste fantastic.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
And one of them is burgers.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Like the other the best next day, heat it up
and it's great. Food is chicken parm, chicken palm. If
you heat it up the next day, it's it's it's
probably better than you got then you had it when
you first bought it out of the oven. Like it's fantastic.
Burgers are the same. The problem with this guy is
there was no refrigerator in between in any of those steps.
(07:05):
The guy just let those burgers wear it for eighteen
hours or whatever. It was, going on a flo going
on a plane, breathing in everybody's gas and burps and
recycled airflow.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
It's just disgusting.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
It's disturbing.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Now, what happened to him?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
He went to the hospital. Yeah, and I don't know
if they pumped his stomach or they gave him something.
He survived.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Well, Okay, I was gonna say, if sir you died,
our apologies.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
At least you handled it in a very gentle way.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
You know, we wish death from white Castle on no one, No.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Now, Fred, was this a friend or like a friend
in quotes? That was actually you like you're asking for
you know?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Okay, very good, very good question, Katie, very solid. Let
me ask you this. I mean, we know each other.
We don't know each other well, we know each other.
Fair Okay, do you think, ah I would leave Hamburgers
out fly them in the overhead compartment.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Back you were young once. I assume.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I don't think you needed to say. I assume I
don't think that was necessary. I think that was a
shot that you did not need to take. Geez, Katie Wright,
what where did that come from?
Speaker 5 (08:20):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
What's that about?
Speaker 4 (08:21):
I didn't sleep well last night, Katie?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
What happened?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I asked myself that all the time. I'm sorry, Fred, No,
it was no, I'm just teasing, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
It was for a friend. It was actually somebody I
worked with.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Because I know you're your high class, you would have
at least done it with in and out see and.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
That's the key, okay, And now I know, but by
the way in and out fries, what do you think
those are like after sixteen hours? Oh my god, that's
a rough go and break your teeth. Now, somebody that
works over in the sales side, her name is Jade.
She's the best. Kevin probably knows her, but she is.
And I don't know the specific song, but apparently White
(09:01):
Castle for very loyal customers, there's like an there's like
a certain program where you're almost like it's not like
an honors program where if you buy white Castle you
get points. You're almost celebrated as almost like like like
an honorary president, so to speak. Like there's all sorts
of perks that come with it. And Turner family loved
(09:23):
White Castle so much because she was on the East
coast that she's one of those members. And so when
we went we were covering the Super Bowl in Arizona.
I believe there's a White Castle in Arizona, and I
think this is Yeah, I think this is Arizona. She
loves white Castle so much that she got an entire
tray of White Castles, like sixteen or twenty four and
(09:45):
took them on the plane with her from Arizona stop
back to the East coast where her family lived.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
This is great, and she was great.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Wait were they cooked?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yeah, they were cooked before she took him.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Oh, that's a bad call.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
She's great, she's doing great. Just talked to her this morning.
She's phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Cast iron stomach.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I mean, look, you know, when you it's that wear
and tear man. So for people to have been in
White Castle, it's basically just an East coast slider, correct, like.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Chain or Midwest? Is it Midwest? Is it like Indiana
East East?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
East?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
The best burgers are waaburgers, and you get those in Arizona.
Whataburger is whataburger should be? Jonas, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I mean, yeah, we can argue that if we if
we liked it feels like there's a debate to be
had there, which is, you know, probably a better off
season topic. But you know, don't argue about best burger
in town.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Now, I'm not going to argue about best burger? Have
you had a WAA burger? Yes or no?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Then you have no idea? Okay, then how are you
going to debate me? You don't even know?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Wait, wait to dismiss my take. Boy, what a what
a great partner you are? Yeah you never played the game?
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Man?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
What are you?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Ryan Clark?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
All right, let's go. So they're gonna wrap it up tonight,
right done?
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I mean, and it was at this point, could you
just wrap it up now?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Like what's the what is the point? Honestly, like, what's
the point? Why are we doing this? It just it
was cute, like it was it was.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Fun to think, Man, oh all the what ifs, and hey,
this could happen and that could happen in all these scenarios.
The bottom line is the Brewers world series was the Cubs,
and the Dodgers World Series was the Phillies. And that's
just a fact. And so you're watching this play out
and the Brewers have no answer. All we'll sitting out
in Miserowski. All right, we'll send out some guy that
(11:42):
looks like a wind puppet out in front of a
car dealership and we'll have him. You know, throw one
hundred and four into the shadows and see what they
can do with it. And eventually you're just gonna get got,
just like Milwaukee got got yesterday.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
It's over, it's done deal.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
The Brewers are some cold brew, now, aren't they?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yeah? They are there.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
You go that I'm talking about?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Would that be the lead?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Would that be the lead on one of the teases
going into the sports broadcast, the Dodgers making them cold brew?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Now next, here's the thing, and congratulations to Milwaukee. Congratulations
the terrific season. There's no way they have the firepower
of the Dodgers. And everybody knew that. No, everybody knows that.
I mean, I love salth Freelich, their center fielder. I
love the guy. I had him on my fantasy team.
He's a stud. He's just I sure to god he is.
(12:33):
He's like five foot six. No, a bunch of five
foot six guys aren't beating the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I think a former football player too. I'm not mistaken.
It ain't South Freelick, but he looks like a football.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Did he play for a small college?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I don't know, and I'll be honest with you, don't care. Yeah,
he's not on my fantasy team. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I tell you what. He had a good year, though,
don't kids yourself.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Yeah, that year's coming to an end later today. Congratulations, sir.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, are you surprised. I'm not. I'm not surprised at all.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
No, I'm surprised that there were people that thought that
you know, well, you know the type of baseball they play,
and it could it could be this sicke it's enough.
The Dodgers are on a heater right now. Like this
is some of the most consistent. Is this the most
consistent their starting pitching has been all year? Oh, as
(13:22):
far as consistently.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
All the year, yeah, I would say in the last
five years.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Like so we like this is actually what this team
was supposed to be when it was constructed, Like this
is so so moral of the story is when they
won it last year, it shouldn't have been that hard,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Like this is just like oh yeah, yeah, so that's
what we do. Oh cool, all.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Right, So so we're just gonna go out, We're gonna
throw complete games. We're gonna get performances from guys that
got big money deals that are finally delivering the way
we thought they were gonna deliver, and then let's just
see if we pitch our best what anybody in baseball
can do about it? Including the team that won is
as many games as they did in the regular season,
and they've got nothing. They have no answers, there's nothing there.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
The Brewers had the best road record in baseball this year,
and it was funny going into the series. People said, well,
you've better watch out. You better watch it because on
the road, those guys are pretty tough. If you look
at them, if you're watching on TV, body language says everything.
Their manager Pat Murphy. You can look into his eyes
(14:27):
and see into the inside of his head, and what
his brain is saying is, I don't know what the
hell to do. What can we do here? There's nothing
we can do. I mean really now, because the Dodgers
are going to win the series. We thought they would
at the beginning. They are so mismatched. No one can
(14:50):
beat the Dodger pitching. No, and that's the way the
team was built in past years. What did you always
worry about in the playoffs. We don't want to run
into a guy that can stop us. You know, a
guy that can shut us down. The Dodgers have five
guys that can shut you down, and they're all healthy.
Now nobody can beat them. They will not lose. Bill
(15:11):
Plavski wrote, they won't lose another game. Let's not get cocky,
but let's be realistic. They're not going to lose.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And it's also didn't you get the sense when you're
watching them play the Phillies there were at points in
the Phillies lineup where you were like, oh boy, this
could be a problem. Like whether it was Kyle Schwarverer
hitting that ball you know over the you know, over
the roof in the outfield, or like there was just
(15:39):
there was there was points in the Phillies lineup where
you're like, this is an issue. J t Reo Muta
went deep. Costianos had a big hit. Like in Costianos
they're trying to get rid of he doesn't even get
along with the manager in Philly, like Bryce Harper obviously,
Like there was just you watch the Phillies lineup and
you're like, this is a problem, Like this could be
a problem, Like there there are land mines and it
(16:00):
falls within this lineup and if you're not careful, Yammoto
got taken as deep as we've seen anybody along That
Schwarber home run landed fifteen minutes ago. Nobody in Milwaukee
does that. There's nobody in the lineup you look at
and go that could be a problem. One swing of
the bat that could tie game. It just it's not
(16:21):
a realistic thought. So if it's not gonna be tonight,
it'll be to just end it, like, let's get it
over with, let's move on, and let's get ready for
the World Series next Friday.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, And I gotta be honest with you, They're not
gonna have much of a problem in the World Series.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Either, now, Bob Nightingale last Friday throughout the Blue Jays
because of the way they hit.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
And that's the only thing that I would say.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
And again, who knows what's gonna happen in that series.
But the two things that I wonder about with the Dodgers, One,
if it is the Blue Jays the way they can slug,
because they really can. They like, that's a team that mashes.
Vlad Guerrero Junior's a great player. The other thing I
wonder about is the time off. If they close it
(17:11):
up tonight, it's gonna be a week before they play again,
and wasn't that a couple of years ago, Whether it
was the issue or it was like, man, the Dodgers
had the first round by and it came back and
bit him in the ass. But was it against the Diamondbacks.
I think it was, yeah, And it was almost like
they were so out of sorts that by the time
they started playing games in the postseason you're looking at
(17:35):
going what is this? And then the conversation afterwards was, well,
maybe it's a detriment to have that much time off
after the year. Maybe you want to play in that
series because it kind of ramps things up. Dodgers had,
Cincinnati found the rhythm, Philly got past the biggest scare
of the postseason, and now they're rolling like we've never
seen before. And then you stopped playing for a week.
(17:56):
That's my only concern.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
I got it. I got it. I hear your concern.
Can I address it?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I mean, because I'm not a deal breaker, I'm a
deal maker. Yeah, I'm a solution oriented individual. I've heard
here's what we're gonna do. Dodgers wrap it up tonight.
Do we think that's the case? Do we believe that
will happen? Tonight or tomorrow. They're gonna wrap it up
this weekend. Fair yep, yeah, they're over all right, season's
over for Milwaukee. Here's what they're gonna do. Because the
(18:24):
Dodgers have all the money, That's what everybody says. They'll
just pay everybody on the Brewers. As a matter of fact,
they'll pick up the hotels, per diem. They'll feed them,
get them tickets like to Disneyland or Universal Studios. We
want you guys to stay around for like four more
days and just play some practice games against them.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Oh I like that?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, Like, hey, you know what, we could really use
the reps. You guys mind sticking around and we'll tell
you what. We'll let you pretend that it's game five,
six and seven, just so we can get a real
simulated game. I'm into it, man, I listen, I'm into it.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Or they could do this, the Browers say, we're not
doing that. Are you kidding me? We're out of here.
Our season's over. We did the best we could. They
just called some of the they call the Angels. The
Angels need money Ardy Moreno. I mean you see the
way he spends on his team, and it's not very good.
You know what, We're gonna pay fifteen of your guys.
Send them up here. They can play us for three
(19:22):
days just to stay sharp. I mean, I don't know
how much work they'd get in against the Angels, although
the Angel did well against them this year, but just
you know, send some guys in called Buster Posey in
San Francisco. Listen, you guys are done. Anybody want to
make another twenty five grand jump on it. We'll fly
it out here. We'll put Jeff. You just play us
three four days now.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Now I'm with you, but you know, like the options
are limited just from this standpoint. So Dodger Stadium, I'm
sure they're good. They're gonna want to have pristine and
ready for conditions in the World Series. They're gonna want
to have that race. So if you were like, all right, well, listen,
you know, we want to make sure everything looks presentable
on television for another World Series next week, then we'll
(20:04):
go play at Angel Stadium. And here's the problem, Like
the real money maker for the Angels is everything but
the Angels in that stadium. So you've got to check
to see whether or not there's a monster jam event yep,
whether or not they're doing a you know, dress a
six foot five white guy in the organization or on
the coaching staff as Otawni in a team picture memorabilia day, right,
(20:28):
And also maybe there's like a Mickey Mouse come trick
or treating with Mickey Mouse. They're off a gene autry way,
So I don't I just feel like there could be
some other events that would get in the way of
them being able to have simulated games there at Angel Stadium.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
So I got two words. Here's college, Pier's cocky, here's college.
Look that works for me. My little brother played football
Pierce College College. Yeah, and let me tell you something.
You want an interesting crowd during a football game where
something could literally pop off, no pun intended. That's the place.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
That is the place for you.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
That is a that would those days and those games
were wild. I remember sitting there with my mom watching
our brother and just looking around and going, did.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
They really just say that that is that allowed? Like
there's I mean threats violence, That is a that that's
a fun place to be.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
So yeah, listen to people. You know, if they can
get enough you know, armored vehicles out there, why not.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
See the thing? And you're saying this, and I'm a
little disappointed because you don't understand what a community college
is for just by your comments. And it really saddens
me because I thought you were far more astute than this.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I told you, I'm a Concordia guy. So, okay, you're
speaking a language I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
You know you're talking about really, at least in the
you went to Pierce College for those football games. Taking
your life into your hands, that's what you were suggesting,
alluding to, Okay, alluding to. Here's the thing. What is
the job of community college to prepare you to take
care of yourself in life? Yeah, so that was a
(22:17):
course at Pierce College. Then, hey, you have to navigate
what could be your demise. You've got to learn to
work in an environment like that and survive. I think
it's a great college course.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
And listen, it's a great point that you make, because
now that I think about it, this is a true story,
not even making this up. My little brother after that
wanted to continue to play football, but there weren't great
opportunities A D one, D two at the time.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
He went over to Italy and played semi pro football
in Italy and it was at the time that Italy
won the World Cup in two thousand and six, and
he brought back a flag, an Italian flag, a World
Cup flag to a good buddy of mine whose family
is from Italy, and said, I got this for you
when they won the World Cup. And we asked him
(23:07):
how he got it, and he said that some drunk
Italian guy crashed his bike and when he went to
go pick up his scarf or his Italian World Cup flag,
my brother threatened him in Italian and took the scarf
from him and brought it back home.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
And that's what you learn at Pierce College.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Damn right, that now makes sense.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
You see. That was well worth the investment for your brother.
So here's the question of the hour. Assuming the Dodgers
wrap it up. Okay, well they're going to wrap it up.
Who should be the National League Championship Series MVP? Well,
(23:52):
if you think about it, and Steve Sacks and Tim
Kates talked about it this morning, who should be the
MVP of this series? We'll try to get into it next.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Hello, Rogan and Rodney listener, did you know AM five
seventy LA Sports has a wide range of LA Sports
podcasts shows like Petros in Money. We are streaming Matt
Dodger Talk with David Vasse, the Dodger Podcast of Record,
Clipper Talk without a Musk, follow us all and many more.
Just go to AM five to seventy LA Sports on
(24:22):
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Not on Friday, we don't the Big Friday Show. Jonas
Knox in today for Rodney on to Day with the Dodgers. Should,
I mean, anything can happen. But given the fact that
looks like the Brewers are have already left, should wrap
things up tonight in advance of the World Series. So
that brings us to this Jonas and I think it's
(24:47):
an interesting question again, Tim and Steve we're talking about
it this morning. Somebody's going to be the National League
Championship Series MVP.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, who's it going to be? I mean, I've got
a list of four candidates.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Okay, let's run them down, all right. I don't know
if you Well, that's an awfully big piece of paper
for four candidates. Well, it's a lot of research.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I like to write all my notes down, So I
put together a list of four candidates. All right, So
you tell what you think of these, Okay, Tim Kates
long shot at best. Okay, Well, but I would argue,
you know, he's been he's been grinding all right, he's
been bookending a lot of this stuff, you know, starting
off with Sacks and Kates in the morning scam, you know,
six am local time. Yeah, so I've got Tim Kates
(25:37):
really busting his ass during this entire NLCS run.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Let me just say this. Let me just say this,
six am local time.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Where else are they listening?
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Well, look, I mean there's people that listen all over
the country. They listen on the iHeartRadio app, so you
know it.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Just yeah, you can stream the show wherever you go live.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, that is true. Here's here's another option for NLCS
MVP the Cup because some would say they were so
in the Brewer's head. Because a lot of people, and
I don't know if you know this or not, if
you ask somebody, hey, what was your favorite part of Milwaukee,
they'll say, O hair Airport like that. That's what a
lot of people will say, you know, honorable mention on
(26:15):
That could probably be the fister guy who haunts hotels
because he's a hornball and likes to look at Major
League Baseball players dressing in the and walking around naked
in their hotel room.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Right.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
So, so Tim Kates and the Cubs are my first
two options. Option three Oriyan Kirkring, Well sure, because you know,
I mean here we are. You know, I mean here
we are. It was basically here, you know, you guys
take it. Milwaukee's got no shot, neither do the Cubs.
Whatever happens in the next round, that's fine. That's my
(26:46):
third option. Number four could be controversial, okay, Ricardo Fasado,
that is controversial. Yeah, are you familiar?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Not one bit? Okay, that's why it's controversial.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
He's the guy who filmed the scumbag Brewers fan, that
lady who made the Ice remarks in Game two there
in Milwaukee.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You know, he's the one that caught her. We really
didn't talk about it. I just want to say this,
and it was all over social media. Dodger fan woman
sitting there, you know, what did you say? Call Ice
or something?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Yeah, we'll just call Ice. And then she criticized his
drink and called him a P word or whatever she
coulpt them.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
She had two jobs, lost them both. Yeah, yeah, solid
work on your part there.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
And and if we think about it, you know based
on that she'll lose her next one too, So really
lost three jobs in the process.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Not a lot of opportunities.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
You know, if you had to go on to Craigslist,
I'm not sure exactly what would would be available for you,
but I would go Ricardo Fisado, who just who just
highlighted scumbaggery in sports?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Sure that is like that, like just highlighted all of it.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
So those are the four that I've got, and that's
you know, a little outside the box based on the
option that we do have.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
And then also.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Just just to let you know, and I just want
to be honest with everybody when I when I saw
this as one of the questions on the rundown from Kevin,
like who would you give the NLCS MVP for? One
of the first names I thought of was Max Munsey.
I said, man, he had that big home run. Yeah,
he had a great defensive play in Game three, And
then I looked it up and realized that home run
(28:23):
has been his only hit in the series.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
So I just yeah, but here's the thing, if you're
the if you're the MVP, did you have a great moment?
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Yeah, I mean yeah, I just because it it But
it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
This illustrate though, that they really don't need an MVP
performance from anybody. Just go play the way you're capable of,
Like you can give it to Yamamoto if you wanted to.
Like now, yes, just there's a there's nobody that stands
out because everybody has done what they're supposed to do,
(28:57):
which is we're better than them.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Let's just go play.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
And that's the problem in trying to select the MVP
of this series. Who who stood out more than anybody?
Who was it? I mean, since they're just doing what
they're supposed to do, sort of like a machine, some
guys better than others. Don't get me wrong. I mean
Otani's not going to be the MVP. Stuck out his
(29:20):
bat and got a triple. That's not gonna work. Oh jeez, Fred,
is that unfair? Kevin was that wrong?
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Stuck his bat out and got a triple?
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Yeah, the ball hit it.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
I guess it's somewhat accurate. Go give him a little
bit of credit. I mean, he's already swung the bat
through the zone. I mean, it doesn't matter how you
get it, as long as you get it right.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
He's not going to be the MVP of this.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
They're still credit away from Otani. Why do you hate Shoeotani?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Fred?
Speaker 2 (29:44):
By the way, By the way, Fred's going to be
the reason Otani leaves town telling you he's just gonna
keep going upstate. He'll be with the Giants next because
of Fred in another what eight years or maybe the
Sacramento team.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
What's closer Giants? But he's got to wait eight years.
He's not going anywhere unless Andrew Friedman leaves. That was
the deal.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah, but I don't we don't need to like set
it in motion. And I feel like you're causing problems here.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
No, I'm just saying he's not going to be the MVP.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
You're the reason Shack left.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
No, I was the reason Shack came to LA.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
All Right, can somebody grock that please? In fact, you
know what, I'll do it. I'll do it live on
the air here.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Let me let's see it.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Gros was Fred Rogan? Okay, the reason go ahead, Shack
came to LA came.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
To the Lakers. I'll be real specific.
Speaker 8 (30:43):
All right, you typed in and what's its sad? Go
ahead and see all right, just waiting for it to
him thinking it's thinking it's thinking, all right, this is
from Groc. Okay, who the f is Fred Rogan? No,
this is from Groc.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
No.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Fred Rogan was not the re Shaq signed with the
Lakers in nineteen ninety six. Rogan is a veteran Los
Angeles sportscaster who has covered the Lakers extensively for over
four decades, including Shaq's entire tenure with the team, but
there's no evidence that he played any role in recruiting
or influencing O'Neill's free agent decision.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
So the fact that I ran into him in a
restaurant with his then agent and spoke to him for
ten minutes had no impact on any of this.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Yes, sir, according to Groc know.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Well, I guess Grok doesn't know everything. Okay, so you're
saying Groc is a Croc. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
All right.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
So I'm gonna say two things. First, I think if
you pick the MVP of this series, I would give
it to Snell because Snell started the Dodgers off, and
in a series where everyone has played and performed, I
think the guy that got you started is the guy
that should be the MVP. But that's how difficult. It
(31:56):
is to pick an MVP now and off the uh
off the charts one because you came up with four
of them. Yeah, there is I think someone you left
off that list, so minus Snell. But if we had
to go off the grin or off the charts? What
is her name, Kevin back door Amy?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Oh jesus, what her name is?
Speaker 1 (32:19):
And that is it's like behind the plate in.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
The back doors on the off days, right, Like you
don't need to like, I don't know why you're why
you need to bring up her personal life and all this.
She's a big fan. She keeps score nowadays.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
I wasn't bringing up her personal life. I couldn't remember
when she was called.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Back door Amy.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
This is pro wrestler, reporn star, Like, what are we doing?
I'm sorry, Amy, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I couldn't remember
her name.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
No, Fred, that's her other gig.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Anyway, she she could be considered just by her appearance.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
But because she sits, because she's you know, got the
Zeppelins in the front row, Like what if she's not
doing anything?
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Well, apparently it's not working.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
It didn't work yet She's supposed to offer a distraction, right.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Well it certainly worked for the Dodgers because the Brewers
were distracted.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Hey, maybe that guy who's haunting the Fister Hotels looking
for her just go to that ballpark.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
And why would he want to take her out?
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Because he's got a strong back. I don't know, like.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
I thought you were gonna say, I got two reasons
why I don't.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
I mean, I don't know. And by the way, you know,
I do have the odds for the NLCS MVP.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Oh you do. Wait wait very interesting? Wait wait wait
wait wait, we'll do it. We'll come back.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Okay, make AM five seventy l a sports a preset
before you plug in your phone presets in the iHeart
Radio app. Now I'm with Apple CarPlay and Android autom
just another easy way to listen to LA's best sports talk.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
All right, Jonas, you know I normally don't handle this
part of the show. Afternoon Delight. Yeah no, from what
I hear. Yeah, okay, uh so Today's Afternoon Delight is
the song that's playing again. Today's Afternoon Delight is what
(34:41):
you're listening to.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
That is a dirty, dirty move. Friend.
Speaker 7 (34:48):
For those of you who actually might care and might
think this is a half decent song, that is the
soulful Teddy Swims. A song called You've Got Another Thing
Coming is Today's Afternoon Delight.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
How could you do that? Oh my goodness, I just wanted.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
To see your reaction. Honestly, I said to Kevin, I
got an idea. I got an idea, and he's like, okay.
Speaker 7 (35:12):
But she usually promised me to say no, let's not
do that.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
It's a lot going on, man, Okay, it's Teddy.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Swims anyway, All right, Teddy and great selection today, Kevin,
Thank you of Teddy Swims. In case you're wondering, it's uh.
The album will drop next weekend. Also features artists like
Selena Gomez, Chris Stapleton, Casey Musk Graves and more. So
there Okay, Afternoon to Light brought you by Fantasy Springs
Resort Casino Premiere Palm Springs Gaming Destination. Right now, call
(35:41):
a number. My god, the phone lines are lit. I
didn't even announce it yet.
Speaker 7 (35:46):
Well not anymore they aren't.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
So try now caller six. Caller six to eight, six
nine eighty seven, two five seventy. You'll want a two
night hotel state, dinner for two at Palm Golf for
two at Eagle Falls golf Course at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino.
Caller six, All right, wait a minute, Ryan and Alisa Viejo,
Now you think you know who's the MVP should be?
Speaker 6 (36:08):
Yeah, So, first of all, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
No, there's no First of all, who's the MVP going
to be?
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Geez Fred?
Speaker 6 (36:16):
Who's ready to go? Man? It should be Will Smith.
And here's why. Every game he's contributed. Last night he
was the first one to hit their flamethrower to put
pressure in the sixth. But all of a sudden, are
we surprised at our bullpen? All of a sudden looks
like they used to. Are we surprised that these starters
who are amazing are even better in the playoffs. Who's
the guy who, all of a sudden is now starting
as our catcher? So he comes back and all of
(36:38):
a sudden, all these pieces come together. So if you're
looking for an MVP who has done it on both
sides of the ball and has contributed as the leader
throughout the game, he should be getting it absolutely, Ryan,
I love that.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Thanks for the call. Good take.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
By the way, you.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Think Will Smith after the other Will Smith slap Chris
Rock is like son of a bitch, Like, here we go,
I'm gonna have to hear about this for the rest
of them, you.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Or do you think he he also has to hear
about Will Smith who was the relief picture. There was
a Will Smith who was a relief picture.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Yeah, I mean, it's a very common name. Like the
guy who really got it bad was the Ravens play
by play guy. His name is Jerry Sandusky.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Oh that's bad news.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Like you know how many you know how many Jeff
Dahmers there were walking around town in the nineties going hey, man, hey, like,
think about the rest of us, for God's sakes, you
know what I mean. Also, a little should be cleaning up,
just any confusion that would be out there. My buddy
Marcus texted me he was listening a short time ago.
By the way, he's white. He texted me some time.
Speaker 7 (37:43):
Stop stop stop.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
What does it have to do with anything?
Speaker 6 (37:45):
No?
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Hold on, Fred.
Speaker 7 (37:46):
So you have a brother named Tyrone, Yes, your friend
named Marcus and Kevin.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
I told you there's a reason I united. Yes, yeah,
that is correct.
Speaker 7 (37:58):
There was an SNL S getting here somewhere. I'm not
telling you that is.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Great and Hey, you know another fun fact. Brady Quinn's
dad's name is Tyrone.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Yeah, why do you think we get along with LeVar
so good? Come on man, God, yes, it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
So my white friend Marcus texted me because he heard it,
heard me say Max Munty and he said, hey, by
the way, Max Months he went to high school at
Thousand Oaks, and I did, I'd let him know. No,
that's the other Maxims, but that's the guy who plays
for the A's.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
This one where this Max Monty played.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
In Texas, like and he grew up in Texas.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
No, but this Max Months he also played for the A's. Correct. Uh,
you both Max Mounzies played for the A's.
Speaker 6 (38:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
But also, I mean it should be noted this this
white Marcus that I'm talking about. He also asked me
a week ago why Dave Hansen was left off the
NLDS roster. So take that for what it's worth. Well, no,
it's not really a baseball savant. No, there's some confusion there.
I mean, one of the reasons is he hadn't played
in ten years.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
There's that I would actually say probably closer to Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
But now here's what's interesting. And we brought this up before,
and I mean, for whatever reason you have to point
out your friend Marcus is white and you have a
brother Tyrone.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Well it's radio. I want people to know what's going on.
You got to paint the picture. It's not TV Fred.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
It's because you are Jonas Knocks and I've said this
and maybe we should just get it out there and
then put it to bed. Yeah, your parents are Amish.
They look at things differently, Jonas, they're amish. What was
that like growing up in Pennsylvania?
Speaker 2 (39:31):
I mean, you know, you're brushing your teeth with butter.
You're like, it's like a dad, you need the drill
And they look at you like you you've got four eyes,
Like what are you talking about? Like no, no, there's
no electricity here. Uh, it's it's you know, like people
smell like they don't use Like like.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
If you like growing up, how long did you did
it tank you before you actually bathed? Given you were amish?
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Oh, I mean what constitutes as a bath?
Speaker 1 (40:02):
That's fair?
Speaker 4 (40:03):
You know?
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Like I mean I would say, you know, did they
did somebody run over to ace and get a hose
and like hose you guys down. It's like, no, man like,
like you're trying to make sure in case anything happens,
you know, you've got enough left over. So whatever runoff
there was from one of the horses, you know that
we're out there, you know, lugging people around. Whatever there
was after they got bathe you just got that. So,
(40:24):
but they made me appreciate cologne. And why do you
think you go to what Ross dressed for less? You
can get quality colognes for cheap.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (40:31):
By the way, speaking of butter teeth, what's Johnny Depth
up to? I think about it?
Speaker 1 (40:36):
So anyway, don't you uh, don't you.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
You haven't seen his cologne commercial spread? What is that
guy doing? What's he doing? Flossling with Margarine?
Speaker 1 (40:46):
You know what he's doing? What getting paid?
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Yeah he is, that's what he's doing for the LC
all right, So we do have the odds here?
Speaker 1 (40:55):
This would be for tonight's game.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Yes, so this well, no, if the Dodgers win the
NLCS MVP odds.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Oh good, that's what we have. Let's go.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Yeah, so we've got the MVP odds for the NLCS.
You had mentioned, was it Blake Snell? Because he started Yeah,
I believe he plays for the club I picked him, Okay, Yes,
so Blake Snell six to one, he's third on the list. Really, yes,
he is third, Okay. Freddie Freeman is first at three
(41:25):
to one. Why I think was he had three hits,
four hits, He's got a home run, he had the
home run. It was at game one that let off
the scoring. That could make some sense. Show hey o Tani,
the guy that you said just flipped his bat out
there and got a triple. He's second and five to one. Why,
(41:46):
I mean, who does like? Who knows why? This is
the way it is now? This is according to two DraftKings.
And then Tommy Edmond is fourth at plus seven fifty
so one hundred bucks win. And then you've got to
go Yamamoto at eleven to one. I would think Yamamoto's
in the top two or three would have been my
guess based on the complete game and how he performed.
(42:09):
And then you mentioned the caller who wrote in that
you were rude to when he got on the line.
Who from Elisa Viejo?
Speaker 1 (42:15):
Why was I rude?
Speaker 3 (42:17):
Just like, no, no, there is no first of all,
no get right to it. No, there is no first
of all.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
We have to get right to it. I mean, we
have to start getting right to it.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
What is this? The DMV people are calling in, They
want to talk sports, they want to play a little
grab ass on a Friday. What's wrong with that?
Speaker 1 (42:31):
Let's just stay on topic.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
Can we do that?
Speaker 2 (42:33):
Please?
Speaker 3 (42:34):
All right? So, keik A Hernandez and Will Smith both
sitting at twelve to one.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
Kio is Andy Paie has on that.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
List fifty to one. He's behind Max Mounsey, Mookie Bets
and Taoscar Hernandez.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
And who's just above him.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
Max Monsey at thirty to one. You know, this is
my favorite part about all this. Who would you say
is next after Andy Paie has to win out NLCSMVP? Like,
would you say, according to the odds on Draftking?
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Okay, hold on, let me tell you I'm going Mickey Rojas.
Speaker 3 (43:08):
Okay, Christian Yelich. That's you know what that is?
Speaker 2 (43:15):
That's that's the sports books are, like, hey, based on
that moron who was shouting out ice jokes in game two,
let's see if we can get one of these drugs
to bet on one of their own guys At seventy
to one. That's never gonna hit We'll just throw a
bunch of Brewers on there, you know, why not, We'll
we'll throw some Brewers on there. Glass now's way far
down the list as well too, So there's some options
(43:37):
there for you. But Freddie Freeman's a favor right now.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
One of Christian Yellish hit four home runs tonight and
somehow the Brewers extend the series. Then they get beat,
They're eliminated. Would Christian Yelich be the MVP?
Speaker 7 (43:51):
We get the Jerry West treatment MVP of the finals
when he lost?
Speaker 1 (43:54):
Exactly could that happen?
Speaker 5 (43:56):
Well?
Speaker 3 (43:57):
Look, I would say no, But like who's really stood out? Like?
Who have you? Like the fact that it has to
be a conversation, the fact that Freddie Freeman, who if
I'm not mistaken, is.
Speaker 7 (44:13):
Three for twelve, right, he's bat two fifty in the series.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
Fifty kill him.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
That's that's the favorite. Bye Bye bye by a pretty
decent margin to win MVP in the NLCS.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
How about Ashby for the Brewers? I thought that, Actually,
how about that? I mean he pitches every game, the
Dodgers hit him. Why not put him in there?
Speaker 3 (44:32):
Why because he looks because he looks like egon?
Speaker 1 (44:34):
Oh, there's a call, and you know what, he's helping
the Dodgers more than anybody. By the way, Fred, your
guy South Freelick. See now that guy can play yeah,
two hundred to one.
Speaker 3 (44:44):
So yeah, ten bucks and you can buy Telemundo with
the payout on that.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
So all right, we're gonna have Dylan Hernandez. Dylan Hernandez
at the Times will join us. I bet he'll be
out at the stadium. So we'll look up with Dylan
next
All right, here we go, Fred Rogan Jonas Knoxen today
for Rodney am Ive seventy LA Sports, and Jonas likes
to work when the Dodgers are going to have a
good night. That's his deal. Yeah, Jonas shows up when
he thinks something good's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well, I mean, I don't want, you know, to show
up and everybody's pissed off. You know, everybody's in a
stressed out mood. We've been down this road too many times, man,
and it's.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Not a fun place. I know what it's like.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Look over it at the network side of things, quote
unquote over on Ventura and Sepulvida there. I mean, the
place is inundated with Dodger fans, but Dodger fans that
I've watched age before my very eyes during playoff games
over the past few years.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Okay, I've seen.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
That happen and it's not a pretty place. So I
want to show up when things are good because I'm
tired of seeing people stressed out about it.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Are you talking about the homeless people that walk around
outside the studio there?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I know radio doesn't pay that much, Fred, but you
don't need to rub it in for God's sake.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I'm not saying that. I'm just saying, you know, you
said a bunch of people that have aged before your
very eyes, and I know there's a bunch of people outside.
With all due respect, I know you do a terrific
job and the show is great. They got brown bags
and they're tossing them back when you walk in. You
know that as well as I do. Sometimes you hang with.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Them, you know you don't.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Kind of is a bummer. When's the last time you
went to a liquor store, like fifteen minutes ago? Okay,
all right, well you beat me to it, so here, Like,
here's what's a bummer. I don't know that liquor stores
have brown bags anymore. Everything's like a black plastic bag
when you go into a liquor store. You ever noticed that.
I'm not talking like a seven eleven. I'm not talking
(01:33):
about like one of these big name chains. I'm talking
about like a liquor store. Like you walk into a
liquor store and there's a pair of glasses that they
say or Oakley's, but there's an l missing in the Oakley,
you know, Like they're like liquor store Loaks you know
what I mean, like like stuff like that. You like,
if you go up to the cash register, they've got
(01:54):
an Abba zaba that's been sitting there since Don Zimmer
was alive. They've got, you know, a can and wrappers
with food on them. They've got the orange price tags
they came out of the ticket gun like they've got
you know, all like just the you like a cheap
made tequila at home that's basically VCR cleaner, but it's
in like a glastic handgun. Stuff Like what like a
(02:17):
liquor store when you go into him, now everything's black
plastic bag. Nobody does a brown bag anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, what kind of liquor store were you in?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I mean, nothing to brag about, but I'm just saying,
when's the last time you went to one that had
a brown paper bag?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
They don't exist anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
What's the one across the street here? I can't remember
the name, right across the street? Not A and O Liquors?
Is it liquers? A? Thank you? Katie jump on? Katie's
working for Ronnie today. Katie get on, And apparently Katie
has a great knowledge of this because she said, yeah,
it is A and O liquor. Do you go to
A and O liquor, Katie.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
I mean you have to before you fill in for Ronnie.
You know he sets the bar so high.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Right, you need something to help out. Yeah, by listen,
I get it makes all the sense of the war.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I've told you.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
One of the cruel twists of fate in by radio
gods is the fact at the network on Sepulta Inventor
over at Fox Sports Radio, it's right next to a
Whole Foods, just a friendly reminder that no, you will
not be going there for lunch. You're stuck at Alpoyo Loco,
(03:27):
or you're stuck getting a pack of Grandma's cookies at
Winds of the World across from the Chevron or seventy
six there that has literally been there since the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Those are good cookies, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
And they stood the test of time. It's like those
McDonald's hamburgers that somebody put in their closet and found
years later and it hadn't changed in size. I don't
know what's going in them, but it works.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I told you the story about the guy that used
to work with me right with the White Castle Hamburgers.
Ever tell you the story.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
By the way, Kevin, you notice it is always got
to be white Castle.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Okay, that's why Kevin is not going to respond. He
doesn't appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I'd storm out of the studio too if I am.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Who are you Eric Dickerson? Anyway, So I work with
this guy, and he goes back to New York and
he visits his family, and he loves white Castle hamburgers.
So he buys like two bags of white Castle hamburgers.
All right, he takes them home, he puts them on
the counter, and you're thinking, well, you know, why would
you take two bags home and put them on the
counter because his plan is to fly back to la
(04:29):
the next day with him. Now, these were cooked at
white Castle, the little square hamburgers. He puts them in
the bag, puts them on his counter, goes to sleep,
gets up, takes the hamburgers, goes to the airport. JFK.
Gets on the plane with the burgers, puts them in
the overhead compartment. Two bags of white Castle hamburgers. They
have been cooked. They're not frozen, they've been cooked. So
(04:53):
he puts the two bags in the overhead compartment. The
flight is what five and a half six hours back. Yeah, okay,
they're up there in the overhead compartment. He takes the
hamburgers out of the overhead compartment, he goes, he gets
his luggage. What's that going to be forty five minutes? Yeah, okay,
So now, and he had to travel to the airport,
so that was probably an hour. So it's probably seven
(05:14):
hours now, and he left him out over night and
that's probably eight hours. So it's fifteen hours since those
hamburgers have been cooked. Then he's got to drive home. Right,
that's another forty five minutes. So now what do we like?
Fifteen sixteen hours? Says you about the hamburgers. He goes
(05:37):
in the house. He puts the burgers on the table.
He says, I think I'm gonna have one. He takes
the burger out, he puts it in the microwave to
warm it up. He warms it up, he eats the burger.
As a matter of fact, he was craving them so
badly because he brought them from New York. He eats
three of them. He sits there, he eats the burgers.
(05:58):
About a half hour later, they rush him to the
hospital because he poisoned himself. Because you cannot. You cannot
take burgers and leave them out, put them in the
overhead compartment of a plane, fly back, put them on
the table, warm them up, and eat them.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Okay, all right, well yeah, because I was thinking about
this when you're telling me the story.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I remember my uncle telling me this back in the day.
He said, one of the food, because there's certain foods
that you could warm up the next day and they're
great and like so if you make it for dinner
the night before, there's certain foods that you can warm
up the next day and they taste fantastic.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
And one of them is burgers.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Like the other the best next day, heat it up
and it's great. Food is chicken parm, chicken palm. If
you heat it up the next day, it's it's it's
probably better than you got then you had it when
you first bought it out of the oven. Like it's fantastic.
Burgers are the same. The problem with this guy is
there was no refrigerator in between in any of those steps.
(07:05):
The guy just let those burgers wear it for eighteen
hours or whatever. It was, going on a flo going
on a plane, breathing in everybody's gas and burps and
recycled airflow.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
It's just disgusting.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
It's disturbing.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Now, what happened to him?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
He went to the hospital. Yeah, and I don't know
if they pumped his stomach or they gave him something.
He survived.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Well, Okay, I was gonna say, if sir you died,
our apologies.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
At least you handled it in a very gentle way.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
You know, we wish death from white Castle on no one, No.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Now, Fred, was this a friend or like a friend
in quotes? That was actually you like you're asking for
you know?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Okay, very good, very good question, Katie, very solid. Let
me ask you this. I mean, we know each other.
We don't know each other well, we know each other.
Fair Okay, do you think, ah I would leave Hamburgers
out fly them in the overhead compartment.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Back you were young once. I assume.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I don't think you needed to say. I assume I
don't think that was necessary. I think that was a
shot that you did not need to take. Geez, Katie Wright,
what where did that come from?
Speaker 5 (08:20):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
What's that about?
Speaker 4 (08:21):
I didn't sleep well last night, Katie?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
What happened?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I asked myself that all the time. I'm sorry, Fred, No,
it was no, I'm just teasing, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
It was for a friend. It was actually somebody I
worked with.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Because I know you're your high class, you would have
at least done it with in and out see and.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
That's the key, okay, And now I know, but by
the way in and out fries, what do you think
those are like after sixteen hours? Oh my god, that's
a rough go and break your teeth. Now, somebody that
works over in the sales side, her name is Jade.
She's the best. Kevin probably knows her, but she is.
And I don't know the specific song, but apparently White
(09:01):
Castle for very loyal customers, there's like an there's like
a certain program where you're almost like it's not like
an honors program where if you buy white Castle you
get points. You're almost celebrated as almost like like like
an honorary president, so to speak. Like there's all sorts
of perks that come with it. And Turner family loved
(09:23):
White Castle so much because she was on the East
coast that she's one of those members. And so when
we went we were covering the Super Bowl in Arizona.
I believe there's a White Castle in Arizona, and I
think this is Yeah, I think this is Arizona. She
loves white Castle so much that she got an entire
tray of White Castles, like sixteen or twenty four and
(09:45):
took them on the plane with her from Arizona stop
back to the East coast where her family lived.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
This is great, and she was great.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Wait were they cooked?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yeah, they were cooked before she took him.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Oh, that's a bad call.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
She's great, she's doing great. Just talked to her this morning.
She's phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Cast iron stomach.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I mean, look, you know, when you it's that wear
and tear man. So for people to have been in
White Castle, it's basically just an East coast slider, correct, like.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Chain or Midwest? Is it Midwest? Is it like Indiana
East East?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
East?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
The best burgers are waaburgers, and you get those in Arizona.
Whataburger is whataburger should be? Jonas, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I mean, yeah, we can argue that if we if
we liked it feels like there's a debate to be
had there, which is, you know, probably a better off
season topic. But you know, don't argue about best burger
in town.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Now, I'm not going to argue about best burger? Have
you had a WAA burger? Yes or no?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Then you have no idea? Okay, then how are you
going to debate me? You don't even know?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Wait, wait to dismiss my take. Boy, what a what
a great partner you are? Yeah you never played the game?
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Man?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
What are you?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Ryan Clark?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
All right, let's go. So they're gonna wrap it up tonight,
right done?
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I mean, and it was at this point, could you
just wrap it up now?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Like what's the what is the point? Honestly, like, what's
the point? Why are we doing this? It just it
was cute, like it was it was.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Fun to think, Man, oh all the what ifs, and hey,
this could happen and that could happen in all these scenarios.
The bottom line is the Brewers world series was the Cubs,
and the Dodgers World Series was the Phillies. And that's
just a fact. And so you're watching this play out
and the Brewers have no answer. All we'll sitting out
in Miserowski. All right, we'll send out some guy that
(11:42):
looks like a wind puppet out in front of a
car dealership and we'll have him. You know, throw one
hundred and four into the shadows and see what they
can do with it. And eventually you're just gonna get got,
just like Milwaukee got got yesterday.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
It's over, it's done deal.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
The Brewers are some cold brew, now, aren't they?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yeah? They are there.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
You go that I'm talking about?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Would that be the lead?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Would that be the lead on one of the teases
going into the sports broadcast, the Dodgers making them cold brew?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Now next, here's the thing, and congratulations to Milwaukee. Congratulations
the terrific season. There's no way they have the firepower
of the Dodgers. And everybody knew that. No, everybody knows that.
I mean, I love salth Freelich, their center fielder. I
love the guy. I had him on my fantasy team.
He's a stud. He's just I sure to god he is.
(12:33):
He's like five foot six. No, a bunch of five
foot six guys aren't beating the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I think a former football player too. I'm not mistaken.
It ain't South Freelick, but he looks like a football.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Did he play for a small college?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I don't know, and I'll be honest with you, don't care. Yeah,
he's not on my fantasy team. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I tell you what. He had a good year, though,
don't kids yourself.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Yeah, that year's coming to an end later today. Congratulations, sir.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, are you surprised. I'm not. I'm not surprised at all.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
No, I'm surprised that there were people that thought that
you know, well, you know the type of baseball they play,
and it could it could be this sicke it's enough.
The Dodgers are on a heater right now. Like this
is some of the most consistent. Is this the most
consistent their starting pitching has been all year? Oh, as
(13:22):
far as consistently.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
All the year, yeah, I would say in the last
five years.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Like so we like this is actually what this team
was supposed to be when it was constructed, Like this
is so so moral of the story is when they
won it last year, it shouldn't have been that hard,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Like this is just like oh yeah, yeah, so that's
what we do. Oh cool, all.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Right, So so we're just gonna go out, We're gonna
throw complete games. We're gonna get performances from guys that
got big money deals that are finally delivering the way
we thought they were gonna deliver, and then let's just
see if we pitch our best what anybody in baseball
can do about it? Including the team that won is
as many games as they did in the regular season,
and they've got nothing. They have no answers, there's nothing there.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
The Brewers had the best road record in baseball this year,
and it was funny going into the series. People said, well,
you've better watch out. You better watch it because on
the road, those guys are pretty tough. If you look
at them, if you're watching on TV, body language says everything.
Their manager Pat Murphy. You can look into his eyes
(14:27):
and see into the inside of his head, and what
his brain is saying is, I don't know what the
hell to do. What can we do here? There's nothing
we can do. I mean really now, because the Dodgers
are going to win the series. We thought they would
at the beginning. They are so mismatched. No one can
(14:50):
beat the Dodger pitching. No, and that's the way the
team was built in past years. What did you always
worry about in the playoffs. We don't want to run
into a guy that can stop us. You know, a
guy that can shut us down. The Dodgers have five
guys that can shut you down, and they're all healthy.
Now nobody can beat them. They will not lose. Bill
(15:11):
Plavski wrote, they won't lose another game. Let's not get cocky,
but let's be realistic. They're not going to lose.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And it's also didn't you get the sense when you're
watching them play the Phillies there were at points in
the Phillies lineup where you were like, oh boy, this
could be a problem. Like whether it was Kyle Schwarverer
hitting that ball you know over the you know, over
the roof in the outfield, or like there was just
(15:39):
there was there was points in the Phillies lineup where
you're like, this is an issue. J t Reo Muta
went deep. Costianos had a big hit. Like in Costianos
they're trying to get rid of he doesn't even get
along with the manager in Philly, like Bryce Harper obviously,
Like there was just you watch the Phillies lineup and
you're like, this is a problem, Like this could be
a problem, Like there there are land mines and it
(16:00):
falls within this lineup and if you're not careful, Yammoto
got taken as deep as we've seen anybody along That
Schwarber home run landed fifteen minutes ago. Nobody in Milwaukee
does that. There's nobody in the lineup you look at
and go that could be a problem. One swing of
the bat that could tie game. It just it's not
(16:21):
a realistic thought. So if it's not gonna be tonight,
it'll be to just end it, like, let's get it
over with, let's move on, and let's get ready for
the World Series next Friday.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, And I gotta be honest with you, They're not
gonna have much of a problem in the World Series.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Either, now, Bob Nightingale last Friday throughout the Blue Jays
because of the way they hit.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
And that's the only thing that I would say.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
And again, who knows what's gonna happen in that series.
But the two things that I wonder about with the Dodgers, One,
if it is the Blue Jays the way they can slug,
because they really can. They like, that's a team that mashes.
Vlad Guerrero Junior's a great player. The other thing I
wonder about is the time off. If they close it
(17:11):
up tonight, it's gonna be a week before they play again,
and wasn't that a couple of years ago, Whether it
was the issue or it was like, man, the Dodgers
had the first round by and it came back and
bit him in the ass. But was it against the Diamondbacks.
I think it was, yeah, And it was almost like
they were so out of sorts that by the time
they started playing games in the postseason you're looking at
(17:35):
going what is this? And then the conversation afterwards was, well,
maybe it's a detriment to have that much time off
after the year. Maybe you want to play in that
series because it kind of ramps things up. Dodgers had,
Cincinnati found the rhythm, Philly got past the biggest scare
of the postseason, and now they're rolling like we've never
seen before. And then you stopped playing for a week.
(17:56):
That's my only concern.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
I got it. I got it. I hear your concern.
Can I address it?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I mean, because I'm not a deal breaker, I'm a
deal maker. Yeah, I'm a solution oriented individual. I've heard
here's what we're gonna do. Dodgers wrap it up tonight.
Do we think that's the case? Do we believe that
will happen? Tonight or tomorrow. They're gonna wrap it up
this weekend. Fair yep, yeah, they're over all right, season's
over for Milwaukee. Here's what they're gonna do. Because the
(18:24):
Dodgers have all the money, That's what everybody says. They'll
just pay everybody on the Brewers. As a matter of fact,
they'll pick up the hotels, per diem. They'll feed them,
get them tickets like to Disneyland or Universal Studios. We
want you guys to stay around for like four more
days and just play some practice games against them.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Oh I like that?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, Like, hey, you know what, we could really use
the reps. You guys mind sticking around and we'll tell
you what. We'll let you pretend that it's game five,
six and seven, just so we can get a real
simulated game. I'm into it, man, I listen, I'm into it.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Or they could do this, the Browers say, we're not
doing that. Are you kidding me? We're out of here.
Our season's over. We did the best we could. They
just called some of the they call the Angels. The
Angels need money Ardy Moreno. I mean you see the
way he spends on his team, and it's not very good.
You know what, We're gonna pay fifteen of your guys.
Send them up here. They can play us for three
(19:22):
days just to stay sharp. I mean, I don't know
how much work they'd get in against the Angels, although
the Angel did well against them this year, but just
you know, send some guys in called Buster Posey in
San Francisco. Listen, you guys are done. Anybody want to
make another twenty five grand jump on it. We'll fly
it out here. We'll put Jeff. You just play us
three four days now.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Now I'm with you, but you know, like the options
are limited just from this standpoint. So Dodger Stadium, I'm
sure they're good. They're gonna want to have pristine and
ready for conditions in the World Series. They're gonna want
to have that race. So if you were like, all right, well, listen,
you know, we want to make sure everything looks presentable
on television for another World Series next week, then we'll
(20:04):
go play at Angel Stadium. And here's the problem, Like
the real money maker for the Angels is everything but
the Angels in that stadium. So you've got to check
to see whether or not there's a monster jam event yep,
whether or not they're doing a you know, dress a
six foot five white guy in the organization or on
the coaching staff as Otawni in a team picture memorabilia day, right,
(20:28):
And also maybe there's like a Mickey Mouse come trick
or treating with Mickey Mouse. They're off a gene autry way,
So I don't I just feel like there could be
some other events that would get in the way of
them being able to have simulated games there at Angel Stadium.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
So I got two words. Here's college, Pier's cocky, here's college.
Look that works for me. My little brother played football
Pierce College College. Yeah, and let me tell you something.
You want an interesting crowd during a football game where
something could literally pop off, no pun intended. That's the place.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
That is the place for you.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
That is a that would those days and those games
were wild. I remember sitting there with my mom watching
our brother and just looking around and going, did.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
They really just say that that is that allowed? Like
there's I mean threats violence, That is a that that's
a fun place to be.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
So yeah, listen to people. You know, if they can
get enough you know, armored vehicles out there, why not.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
See the thing? And you're saying this, and I'm a
little disappointed because you don't understand what a community college
is for just by your comments. And it really saddens
me because I thought you were far more astute than this.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I told you, I'm a Concordia guy. So, okay, you're
speaking a language I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
You know you're talking about really, at least in the
you went to Pierce College for those football games. Taking
your life into your hands, that's what you were suggesting,
alluding to, Okay, alluding to. Here's the thing. What is
the job of community college to prepare you to take
care of yourself in life? Yeah, so that was a
(22:17):
course at Pierce College. Then, hey, you have to navigate
what could be your demise. You've got to learn to
work in an environment like that and survive. I think
it's a great college course.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
And listen, it's a great point that you make, because
now that I think about it, this is a true story,
not even making this up. My little brother after that
wanted to continue to play football, but there weren't great
opportunities A D one, D two at the time.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
He went over to Italy and played semi pro football
in Italy and it was at the time that Italy
won the World Cup in two thousand and six, and
he brought back a flag, an Italian flag, a World
Cup flag to a good buddy of mine whose family
is from Italy, and said, I got this for you
when they won the World Cup. And we asked him
(23:07):
how he got it, and he said that some drunk
Italian guy crashed his bike and when he went to
go pick up his scarf or his Italian World Cup flag,
my brother threatened him in Italian and took the scarf
from him and brought it back home.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
And that's what you learn at Pierce College.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Damn right, that now makes sense.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
You see. That was well worth the investment for your brother.
So here's the question of the hour. Assuming the Dodgers
wrap it up. Okay, well they're going to wrap it up.
Who should be the National League Championship Series MVP? Well,
(23:52):
if you think about it, and Steve Sacks and Tim
Kates talked about it this morning, who should be the
MVP of this series? We'll try to get into it next.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Hello, Rogan and Rodney listener, did you know AM five
seventy LA Sports has a wide range of LA Sports
podcasts shows like Petros in Money. We are streaming Matt
Dodger Talk with David Vasse, the Dodger Podcast of Record,
Clipper Talk without a Musk, follow us all and many more.
Just go to AM five to seventy LA Sports on
(24:22):
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Not on Friday, we don't the Big Friday Show. Jonas
Knox in today for Rodney on to Day with the Dodgers. Should,
I mean, anything can happen. But given the fact that
looks like the Brewers are have already left, should wrap
things up tonight in advance of the World Series. So
that brings us to this Jonas and I think it's
(24:47):
an interesting question again, Tim and Steve we're talking about
it this morning. Somebody's going to be the National League
Championship Series MVP.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, who's it going to be? I mean, I've got
a list of four candidates.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Okay, let's run them down, all right. I don't know
if you Well, that's an awfully big piece of paper
for four candidates. Well, it's a lot of research.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I like to write all my notes down, So I
put together a list of four candidates. All right, So
you tell what you think of these, Okay, Tim Kates
long shot at best. Okay, Well, but I would argue,
you know, he's been he's been grinding all right, he's
been bookending a lot of this stuff, you know, starting
off with Sacks and Kates in the morning scam, you know,
six am local time. Yeah, so I've got Tim Kates
(25:37):
really busting his ass during this entire NLCS run.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Let me just say this. Let me just say this,
six am local time.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Where else are they listening?
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Well, look, I mean there's people that listen all over
the country. They listen on the iHeartRadio app, so you
know it.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Just yeah, you can stream the show wherever you go live.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, that is true. Here's here's another option for NLCS
MVP the Cup because some would say they were so
in the Brewer's head. Because a lot of people, and
I don't know if you know this or not, if
you ask somebody, hey, what was your favorite part of Milwaukee,
they'll say, O hair Airport like that. That's what a
lot of people will say, you know, honorable mention on
(26:15):
That could probably be the fister guy who haunts hotels
because he's a hornball and likes to look at Major
League Baseball players dressing in the and walking around naked
in their hotel room.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Right.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
So, so Tim Kates and the Cubs are my first
two options. Option three Oriyan Kirkring, Well sure, because you know,
I mean here we are. You know, I mean here
we are. It was basically here, you know, you guys
take it. Milwaukee's got no shot, neither do the Cubs.
Whatever happens in the next round, that's fine. That's my
(26:46):
third option. Number four could be controversial, okay, Ricardo Fasado,
that is controversial. Yeah, are you familiar?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Not one bit? Okay, that's why it's controversial.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
He's the guy who filmed the scumbag Brewers fan, that
lady who made the Ice remarks in Game two there
in Milwaukee.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You know, he's the one that caught her. We really
didn't talk about it. I just want to say this,
and it was all over social media. Dodger fan woman
sitting there, you know, what did you say? Call Ice
or something?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Yeah, we'll just call Ice. And then she criticized his
drink and called him a P word or whatever she
coulpt them.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
She had two jobs, lost them both. Yeah, yeah, solid
work on your part there.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
And and if we think about it, you know based
on that she'll lose her next one too, So really
lost three jobs in the process.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Not a lot of opportunities.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
You know, if you had to go on to Craigslist,
I'm not sure exactly what would would be available for you,
but I would go Ricardo Fisado, who just who just
highlighted scumbaggery in sports?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Sure that is like that, like just highlighted all of it.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
So those are the four that I've got, and that's
you know, a little outside the box based on the
option that we do have.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
And then also.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Just just to let you know, and I just want
to be honest with everybody when I when I saw
this as one of the questions on the rundown from Kevin,
like who would you give the NLCS MVP for? One
of the first names I thought of was Max Munsey.
I said, man, he had that big home run. Yeah,
he had a great defensive play in Game three, And
then I looked it up and realized that home run
(28:23):
has been his only hit in the series.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
So I just yeah, but here's the thing, if you're
the if you're the MVP, did you have a great moment?
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Yeah, I mean yeah, I just because it it But
it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
This illustrate though, that they really don't need an MVP
performance from anybody. Just go play the way you're capable of,
Like you can give it to Yamamoto if you wanted to.
Like now, yes, just there's a there's nobody that stands
out because everybody has done what they're supposed to do,
(28:57):
which is we're better than them.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Let's just go play.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
And that's the problem in trying to select the MVP
of this series. Who who stood out more than anybody?
Who was it? I mean, since they're just doing what
they're supposed to do, sort of like a machine, some
guys better than others. Don't get me wrong. I mean
Otani's not going to be the MVP. Stuck out his
(29:20):
bat and got a triple. That's not gonna work. Oh jeez, Fred,
is that unfair? Kevin was that wrong?
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Stuck his bat out and got a triple?
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Yeah, the ball hit it.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
I guess it's somewhat accurate. Go give him a little
bit of credit. I mean, he's already swung the bat
through the zone. I mean, it doesn't matter how you
get it, as long as you get it right.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
He's not going to be the MVP of this.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
They're still credit away from Otani. Why do you hate Shoeotani?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Fred?
Speaker 2 (29:44):
By the way, By the way, Fred's going to be
the reason Otani leaves town telling you he's just gonna
keep going upstate. He'll be with the Giants next because
of Fred in another what eight years or maybe the
Sacramento team.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
What's closer Giants? But he's got to wait eight years.
He's not going anywhere unless Andrew Friedman leaves. That was
the deal.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah, but I don't we don't need to like set
it in motion. And I feel like you're causing problems here.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
No, I'm just saying he's not going to be the MVP.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
You're the reason Shack left.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
No, I was the reason Shack came to LA.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
All Right, can somebody grock that please? In fact, you
know what, I'll do it. I'll do it live on
the air here.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Let me let's see it.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Gros was Fred Rogan? Okay, the reason go ahead, Shack
came to LA came.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
To the Lakers. I'll be real specific.
Speaker 8 (30:43):
All right, you typed in and what's its sad? Go
ahead and see all right, just waiting for it to
him thinking it's thinking it's thinking, all right, this is
from Groc. Okay, who the f is Fred Rogan? No,
this is from Groc.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
No.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Fred Rogan was not the re Shaq signed with the
Lakers in nineteen ninety six. Rogan is a veteran Los
Angeles sportscaster who has covered the Lakers extensively for over
four decades, including Shaq's entire tenure with the team, but
there's no evidence that he played any role in recruiting
or influencing O'Neill's free agent decision.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
So the fact that I ran into him in a
restaurant with his then agent and spoke to him for
ten minutes had no impact on any of this.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Yes, sir, according to Groc know.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Well, I guess Grok doesn't know everything. Okay, so you're
saying Groc is a Croc. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
All right.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
So I'm gonna say two things. First, I think if
you pick the MVP of this series, I would give
it to Snell because Snell started the Dodgers off, and
in a series where everyone has played and performed, I
think the guy that got you started is the guy
that should be the MVP. But that's how difficult. It
(31:56):
is to pick an MVP now and off the uh
off the charts one because you came up with four
of them. Yeah, there is I think someone you left
off that list, so minus Snell. But if we had
to go off the grin or off the charts? What
is her name, Kevin back door Amy?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Oh jesus, what her name is?
Speaker 1 (32:19):
And that is it's like behind the plate in.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
The back doors on the off days, right, Like you
don't need to like, I don't know why you're why
you need to bring up her personal life and all this.
She's a big fan. She keeps score nowadays.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
I wasn't bringing up her personal life. I couldn't remember
when she was called.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Back door Amy.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
This is pro wrestler, reporn star, Like, what are we doing?
I'm sorry, Amy, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I couldn't remember
her name.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
No, Fred, that's her other gig.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Anyway, she she could be considered just by her appearance.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
But because she sits, because she's you know, got the
Zeppelins in the front row, Like what if she's not
doing anything?
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Well, apparently it's not working.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
It didn't work yet She's supposed to offer a distraction, right.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Well it certainly worked for the Dodgers because the Brewers
were distracted.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Hey, maybe that guy who's haunting the Fister Hotels looking
for her just go to that ballpark.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
And why would he want to take her out?
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Because he's got a strong back. I don't know, like.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
I thought you were gonna say, I got two reasons
why I don't.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
I mean, I don't know. And by the way, you know,
I do have the odds for the NLCS MVP.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Oh you do. Wait wait very interesting? Wait wait wait
wait wait, we'll do it. We'll come back.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Okay, make AM five seventy l a sports a preset
before you plug in your phone presets in the iHeart
Radio app. Now I'm with Apple CarPlay and Android autom
just another easy way to listen to LA's best sports talk.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
All right, Jonas, you know I normally don't handle this
part of the show. Afternoon Delight. Yeah no, from what
I hear. Yeah, okay, uh so Today's Afternoon Delight is
the song that's playing again. Today's Afternoon Delight is what
(34:41):
you're listening to.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
That is a dirty, dirty move. Friend.
Speaker 7 (34:48):
For those of you who actually might care and might
think this is a half decent song, that is the
soulful Teddy Swims. A song called You've Got Another Thing
Coming is Today's Afternoon Delight.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
How could you do that? Oh my goodness, I just wanted.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
To see your reaction. Honestly, I said to Kevin, I
got an idea. I got an idea, and he's like, okay.
Speaker 7 (35:12):
But she usually promised me to say no, let's not
do that.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
It's a lot going on, man, Okay, it's Teddy.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Swims anyway, All right, Teddy and great selection today, Kevin,
Thank you of Teddy Swims. In case you're wondering, it's uh.
The album will drop next weekend. Also features artists like
Selena Gomez, Chris Stapleton, Casey Musk Graves and more. So
there Okay, Afternoon to Light brought you by Fantasy Springs
Resort Casino Premiere Palm Springs Gaming Destination. Right now, call
(35:41):
a number. My god, the phone lines are lit. I
didn't even announce it yet.
Speaker 7 (35:46):
Well not anymore they aren't.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
So try now caller six. Caller six to eight, six
nine eighty seven, two five seventy. You'll want a two
night hotel state, dinner for two at Palm Golf for
two at Eagle Falls golf Course at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino.
Caller six, All right, wait a minute, Ryan and Alisa Viejo,
Now you think you know who's the MVP should be?
Speaker 6 (36:08):
Yeah, So, first of all, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
No, there's no First of all, who's the MVP going
to be?
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Geez Fred?
Speaker 6 (36:16):
Who's ready to go? Man? It should be Will Smith.
And here's why. Every game he's contributed. Last night he
was the first one to hit their flamethrower to put
pressure in the sixth. But all of a sudden, are
we surprised at our bullpen? All of a sudden looks
like they used to. Are we surprised that these starters
who are amazing are even better in the playoffs. Who's
the guy who, all of a sudden is now starting
as our catcher? So he comes back and all of
(36:38):
a sudden, all these pieces come together. So if you're
looking for an MVP who has done it on both
sides of the ball and has contributed as the leader
throughout the game, he should be getting it absolutely, Ryan,
I love that.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Thanks for the call. Good take.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
By the way, you.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Think Will Smith after the other Will Smith slap Chris
Rock is like son of a bitch, Like, here we go,
I'm gonna have to hear about this for the rest
of them, you.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Or do you think he he also has to hear
about Will Smith who was the relief picture. There was
a Will Smith who was a relief picture.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Yeah, I mean, it's a very common name. Like the
guy who really got it bad was the Ravens play
by play guy. His name is Jerry Sandusky.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Oh that's bad news.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Like you know how many you know how many Jeff
Dahmers there were walking around town in the nineties going hey, man, hey, like,
think about the rest of us, for God's sakes, you
know what I mean. Also, a little should be cleaning up,
just any confusion that would be out there. My buddy
Marcus texted me he was listening a short time ago.
By the way, he's white. He texted me some time.
Speaker 7 (37:43):
Stop stop stop.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
What does it have to do with anything?
Speaker 6 (37:45):
No?
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Hold on, Fred.
Speaker 7 (37:46):
So you have a brother named Tyrone, Yes, your friend
named Marcus and Kevin.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
I told you there's a reason I united. Yes, yeah,
that is correct.
Speaker 7 (37:58):
There was an SNL S getting here somewhere. I'm not
telling you that is.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Great and Hey, you know another fun fact. Brady Quinn's
dad's name is Tyrone.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Yeah, why do you think we get along with LeVar
so good? Come on man, God, yes, it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
So my white friend Marcus texted me because he heard it,
heard me say Max Munty and he said, hey, by
the way, Max Months he went to high school at
Thousand Oaks, and I did, I'd let him know. No,
that's the other Maxims, but that's the guy who plays
for the A's.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
This one where this Max Monty played.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
In Texas, like and he grew up in Texas.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
No, but this Max Months he also played for the A's. Correct. Uh,
you both Max Mounzies played for the A's.
Speaker 6 (38:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
But also, I mean it should be noted this this
white Marcus that I'm talking about. He also asked me
a week ago why Dave Hansen was left off the
NLDS roster. So take that for what it's worth. Well, no,
it's not really a baseball savant. No, there's some confusion there.
I mean, one of the reasons is he hadn't played
in ten years.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
There's that I would actually say probably closer to Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
But now here's what's interesting. And we brought this up before,
and I mean, for whatever reason you have to point
out your friend Marcus is white and you have a
brother Tyrone.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Well it's radio. I want people to know what's going on.
You got to paint the picture. It's not TV Fred.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
It's because you are Jonas Knocks and I've said this
and maybe we should just get it out there and
then put it to bed. Yeah, your parents are Amish.
They look at things differently, Jonas, they're amish. What was
that like growing up in Pennsylvania?
Speaker 2 (39:31):
I mean, you know, you're brushing your teeth with butter.
You're like, it's like a dad, you need the drill
And they look at you like you you've got four eyes,
Like what are you talking about? Like no, no, there's
no electricity here. Uh, it's it's you know, like people
smell like they don't use Like like.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
If you like growing up, how long did you did
it tank you before you actually bathed? Given you were amish?
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Oh, I mean what constitutes as a bath?
Speaker 1 (40:02):
That's fair?
Speaker 4 (40:03):
You know?
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Like I mean I would say, you know, did they
did somebody run over to ace and get a hose
and like hose you guys down. It's like, no, man like,
like you're trying to make sure in case anything happens,
you know, you've got enough left over. So whatever runoff
there was from one of the horses, you know that
we're out there, you know, lugging people around. Whatever there
was after they got bathe you just got that. So,
(40:24):
but they made me appreciate cologne. And why do you
think you go to what Ross dressed for less? You
can get quality colognes for cheap.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (40:31):
By the way, speaking of butter teeth, what's Johnny Depth
up to? I think about it?
Speaker 1 (40:36):
So anyway, don't you uh, don't you.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
You haven't seen his cologne commercial spread? What is that
guy doing? What's he doing? Flossling with Margarine?
Speaker 1 (40:46):
You know what he's doing? What getting paid?
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Yeah he is, that's what he's doing for the LC
all right, So we do have the odds here?
Speaker 1 (40:55):
This would be for tonight's game.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Yes, so this well, no, if the Dodgers win the
NLCS MVP odds.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Oh good, that's what we have. Let's go.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Yeah, so we've got the MVP odds for the NLCS.
You had mentioned, was it Blake Snell? Because he started Yeah,
I believe he plays for the club I picked him, Okay, Yes,
so Blake Snell six to one, he's third on the list. Really, yes,
he is third, Okay. Freddie Freeman is first at three
(41:25):
to one. Why I think was he had three hits,
four hits, He's got a home run, he had the
home run. It was at game one that let off
the scoring. That could make some sense. Show hey o Tani,
the guy that you said just flipped his bat out
there and got a triple. He's second and five to one. Why,
(41:46):
I mean, who does like? Who knows why? This is
the way it is now? This is according to two DraftKings.
And then Tommy Edmond is fourth at plus seven fifty
so one hundred bucks win. And then you've got to
go Yamamoto at eleven to one. I would think Yamamoto's
in the top two or three would have been my
guess based on the complete game and how he performed.
(42:09):
And then you mentioned the caller who wrote in that
you were rude to when he got on the line.
Who from Elisa Viejo?
Speaker 1 (42:15):
Why was I rude?
Speaker 3 (42:17):
Just like, no, no, there is no first of all,
no get right to it. No, there is no first
of all.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
We have to get right to it. I mean, we
have to start getting right to it.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
What is this? The DMV people are calling in, They
want to talk sports, they want to play a little
grab ass on a Friday. What's wrong with that?
Speaker 1 (42:31):
Let's just stay on topic.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
Can we do that?
Speaker 2 (42:33):
Please?
Speaker 3 (42:34):
All right? So, keik A Hernandez and Will Smith both
sitting at twelve to one.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
Kio is Andy Paie has on that.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
List fifty to one. He's behind Max Mounsey, Mookie Bets
and Taoscar Hernandez.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
And who's just above him.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
Max Monsey at thirty to one. You know, this is
my favorite part about all this. Who would you say
is next after Andy Paie has to win out NLCSMVP? Like,
would you say, according to the odds on Draftking?
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Okay, hold on, let me tell you I'm going Mickey Rojas.
Speaker 3 (43:08):
Okay, Christian Yelich. That's you know what that is?
Speaker 2 (43:15):
That's that's the sports books are, like, hey, based on
that moron who was shouting out ice jokes in game two,
let's see if we can get one of these drugs
to bet on one of their own guys At seventy
to one. That's never gonna hit We'll just throw a
bunch of Brewers on there, you know, why not, We'll
we'll throw some Brewers on there. Glass now's way far
down the list as well too, So there's some options
(43:37):
there for you. But Freddie Freeman's a favor right now.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
One of Christian Yellish hit four home runs tonight and
somehow the Brewers extend the series. Then they get beat,
They're eliminated. Would Christian Yelich be the MVP?
Speaker 7 (43:51):
We get the Jerry West treatment MVP of the finals
when he lost?
Speaker 1 (43:54):
Exactly could that happen?
Speaker 5 (43:56):
Well?
Speaker 3 (43:57):
Look, I would say no, But like who's really stood out? Like?
Who have you? Like the fact that it has to
be a conversation, the fact that Freddie Freeman, who if
I'm not mistaken, is.
Speaker 7 (44:13):
Three for twelve, right, he's bat two fifty in the series.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
Fifty kill him.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
That's that's the favorite. Bye Bye bye by a pretty
decent margin to win MVP in the NLCS.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
How about Ashby for the Brewers? I thought that, Actually,
how about that? I mean he pitches every game, the
Dodgers hit him. Why not put him in there?
Speaker 3 (44:32):
Why because he looks because he looks like egon?
Speaker 1 (44:34):
Oh, there's a call, and you know what, he's helping
the Dodgers more than anybody. By the way, Fred, your
guy South Freelick. See now that guy can play yeah,
two hundred to one.
Speaker 3 (44:44):
So yeah, ten bucks and you can buy Telemundo with
the payout on that.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
So all right, we're gonna have Dylan Hernandez. Dylan Hernandez
at the Times will join us. I bet he'll be
out at the stadium. So we'll look up with Dylan
next
