Speaker 1 (00:00):
And we continue on Fred Rogan, Rodney Pete on the
Friday Show on a five to seventy LA Sports Midnight Tonight.
A lot going on, Kings Edmonton, Minnesota and the Lakers,
and at the stadium, the Dodgers are back, Yamamoto and schemes,
Dodgers and pirates, and let's bring on our good friend,
Bill Plunket from the Orange County Register, Bill, how are
(00:21):
you today? I'm doing all right. Listen. Thank you for
taking time to speak with us. I know you have
a very busy weekend. Tomorrow you'll be promoting your book
signing at the LA Festival of Books right eleven to
one at USC.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yes, somehow I got invited to. That must be a mistake.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
We'll talk about your books, tell us about the book. Bill,
Come on, oh LA story.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's all about last season Otani and the Dodgers, and
if if you're a Dodger fan, you're you're an Otani fan.
I don't want to any spoilers, but I think you'll
like how it ends. Things went pretty well for both
of them last year. It's it's I think it's a
(01:10):
fun read. If you're if you enjoyed last season.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Hey, Bill, do you charge for the book? Signing another
word out? I'll sign my name, but it will cost
you five bucks. Question you asked, what are you talking
about that people? Personal thing with Bill? Stop? Bill, don't
answer that question. You don't you buy the book?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
You buy the book, I will sign it. I don't
know why people want me to scribble on their brand new,
nice books. My my signature is worthless even on a check,
So I'm not sure what the what the point of
that is.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
First of all, forgive, forgive my partner for asking.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Such a crass question.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Highly inappropriate question that he asked. Bill as you as
you as you right. You know wrote this book, and
you think about the Dodgers and the story and the
year that they had last year. So often when you
have big time moments and seasons like Otani had where
he went fifty to fifty with nobody ever done before,
(02:16):
the Dodgers, with all the hype prior to the season,
go and actually win it. Because oftentimes we see teams
or somebody or individuals on a team that have incredible
seasons but they don't finish the deal. The Patriots go
sixteen to zero and losing the Super Bowl. You know,
we saw the Warriors go, you know, set the record
(02:36):
for wins and they get beat in Game seven in
the NBA Playoffs. But oftentimes you don't always go and
finish the deal. With the Dodgers, they had all the
hype the off season signing of Otani and Yamamoto, and
then the year that Otani had and then eventually they
go on and win the World Series.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
You don't see that very often, do you build.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I appreciate them doing that for me because it certainly
made the book a lot more fun to write. Yeah,
you know, I agreed to write the book. I think
I signed the contract in like June, so we didn't know.
You know, I'm writing the first chapters, and we knew
that Otani coming to the Dodgers was going to be
(03:21):
a story. But then the whole free agency was one
of the most unique free agencies in the history of
professional sports, So there's a story there. Then the whole
EPE gambling scandal breaks in spring training, so there's a
whole nother story there. He's rehabbing from Tommy John while
(03:41):
he's doing this and having a fifty to fifty season
and going to the World Series. So yeah, it was
it was like storyline after storyline just piled up.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
And I think.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
We've seen with the Otani since he moved to the Dodgers,
he has a knack for coming through just when people want.
I mean, he hit a home run in his first
spring training game last year, hit for home run his
first spring training game again this year, he hit a
home run on Bobblehead Night when he got to forty
(04:14):
forty it was a walk off home run. And then
the fifty to fifty game in Miami one of the
greatest offensive games hitter has ever had. So in his
first playoff.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Game game that he'd been was five for five.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Six for six with three home runs and ten RBIs
I think it was, Yeah, and then he hits a
home run in his first playoff game too, So his
ability to rise to the moment last year was was
really remarkable.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Okay, let's talk about where we're at right now. Let's
do that Bill. Yeah, Look, that's been a little quiet.
I've seen no reason for concern because it's a long season.
Am I just overlooking this? Is there a reason for concern?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I don't think so, not yet. And I will tell
you this, it looks just like last year at this
time if if you if you go back, they had
the pitching injuries started. You know, we've had Blake Snell
and Lake Tringing both down now this year. The bottom
half of the line lineup was not producing. Last year.
(05:17):
It was a big issue early in the season.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
It's a big.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Issue right now. It's uh, it's very familiar. The offense
didn't get clicking last year until Miggy Rojas and Gavin
Lux started hitting at the bottom of the lineup and
it turned things over. It brought Otani and Mookie and
Freddie up with guys on base and everything changed when
that when that part of the lineup got going. So
(05:44):
I think that's what we need to see now. We
need to see somebody at the bottom of that bottom
half of the lineup start hitting. You know, somebody like
Michael Michael Conforto or Max Muntsey or Andy Pie has.
Somebody down there has got to start contribut because as
it is now, they're you know, the offense is kind
of dragging along with you know, a flat tier or two.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah, and Bill, because we're so close to it and
here in LA and we follow the Dodgers obviously very
closely that it's heightened for us now, is what the
Dodgers went through last year and have been going through
a little bit this year.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Is that something that.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Is more unique and like weird happening to the Dodgers,
or because we don't pay attention to other teams around
the league, this is something that happens to most teams
in Mais League Baseball, I mean the entry.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah, I think it's fair to say that Dodger fans
are pretty spoiled, you know, over the last ten years
or so. Yeah, Yeah, every other team goes to spring
training wondering who their fourth or fifth starter is going
to be. The Dodgers go to spring training wondering, you know,
how they're going to whittle it down to five starters.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You know the lineup.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You look at other lineups and there are dead spots
very apparent. Nobody has nine guys that just rake all
the time. So to expect that from the Dodgers's probably
asking a bit much. I think, you know, we're looking
at this and picking picking at sore spots. But they've
won two thirds of their games, you know, they've They've
(07:29):
got off to a slow start and they're playing at
a six seventy winning percentage. So yeah, I think you can.
You can kind of calm down a little bit and
and let it play out a little bit longer before
you really start getting worried.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah see, And that was my point. Look, I don't
know what people expect. And I've said this to Rodney. Well,
you know, they don't win every game. I can't believe
they're not undefeated. Well, they're not going to be undefeated.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
So a certain column is in town I think proposed
thirty seven and oh that he expected them to start
thirty seven.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And oh he probably wish familiar he had done that,
honest with you, Uh, trust me. And and the thing
is this, it's a long year, just like Andrew Friedman
doesn't even do it any until June first, and he
told me that, and to my early June. Now I
(08:26):
start looking at things and trying to figure out where
are we what might we need until that time. As
you pointed out, they're one of the best teams in
baseball at the and they should be the best, and
you just let it go, let the season take you
where it does. I mean, look, Blake Snell, did you
expect Blake Snell to be put on the shelf? So soon.
(08:49):
Maybe he did. I didn't, but it happened trying to elbow.
Am I right, I didn't expect that. Yeah, I'm a moto.
I thought he'd have a great year. Right now, he
looks like he could be a cy young guy. Okay,
I thought he'd have a good year. I didn't know that.
So you just gotta let the season breathe and just
go with it before you start making decisions or freaking out. Bill.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Oh, trust me, I'm not freaking out. I'm good for himself. Bill, Oh,
you're freaking out.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah, that's Fred's inner voice.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
You know, this is this is the unique thing about baseball,
And I would say one of the great things about
baseball is they play so much. One hundred and sixty
two games is a long time, and a lot of
weird stuff can happen in one hundred and sixty two games,
But the strength of it is by the end, everybody
(09:45):
has found their level.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
You don't.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
You're not a fluke for one hundred and sixty two games.
You know, you don't win hundred games by accident. You
win because you have the talent and you play well
enough to make it happen. So you know, we're rarely
dipping our toe into the season. Now, what are we
at thirty thirty games? Not even thirty games yet, so
(10:07):
we don't know what the you know, overall personality of
this season is going to be. It's going to take time.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
And as you mentioned, it's a it's a long, long,
long season, and people do tend to panic.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I don't know there.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I think there are people out there that legitimately felt
the Dodgers would win one hundred and fifty games.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
And it's just it's just it's just exact.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It is. Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Because there are good players throughout this league and good teams.
And speaking of that, when you look at the NL West,
which has turned into being the toughest best lead or
division in baseball, When you look at that, who do
you see at the end of the day is going
to be the biggest threat?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Is it in fact going to be the Padres again
because of their talent, or are the Giants for real, Bill?
Or is it the Diamondbacks, who with their pitching could
possibly stay there and be there at the end. Who
is going to be the biggest threat?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I said?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I said before the season started that I thought thought
the NL West was the best division in baseball, and
it's playing out that way. I think the Padres are
a big threat because of the rivalry that's developed between
the Dodgers and Padres. And I think the Padres look
back at last year's uh n LDS and and consider
(11:34):
it UH an opportunity that got away, and they probably
want another shot to you know, undo game Game four
from the n LDS. I think the Diamondbacks are probably
the best team of the three the Giants. You know,
I was interested to see what the Giants would be
(11:55):
Underbuster your posey. That's that's a kind of a new
project that started up there. So all three of them
don't have the depth that the Dodgers do. And that's
the one hundred and sixty two game challenge. So, you know,
the Diamondbacks may be the best team, but by the
end of the season, are they healthy?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
What? You know, who have they.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Lost along the way? The Padres the same thing. It's
a war of attrition. You know, what you have now
might not be what you have in September. So I
think the Padres are probably the biggest threat just because
of their attitude towards the Dodgers. I think that'll make
(12:38):
for some great matchups when they play.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Head to head.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I think the Diamondbacks are scary in a short series.
If they have the pitching then that they have.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Now, all right, Bill, Well tomorrow again, it's eleven to
one at USC the big LA Festival of Books. You'll
be there. LA story is yours. Anybody that buys it
will sign it. I'm sure. I don't think you'll get
out of there by one. To be honest with you,
I mean, I.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Think you'll be wonderful if there's a buying frenzy and
I and I have to stay longer. Oh, oh, that'd
be terrific.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
You mean you're okay with that? If you have to steal,
that's good.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I'll hang out longer if you guys want to buy
some more books.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
All right, thanks for doing this, Bill, good luck tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Hey, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Anybody ever told you have an ugly baby? Seriously? Have
you ever heard that? Have you ever heard anybody say, oh,
look at that, that's an ugly baby. Well we're going
to talk about it. A let's go. We don't care
on a Friday. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Many thanks to our good friend Bill Plunket. Those are
good guys. Uh Tho's got that that dry, dead pan humor,
doesn't he.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I love being on show like Kurb The Enthusiasm or
the Office or one of those shows.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Yeah, he's great. And he's always on with Kevin and
Adam on their podcast. Yeah. So he's terrific and we
really appreciate him doing it. And tomorrow you can go
out to USC. He's got his book. He'll be there
from eleven to one. La Story Love La Stories. Yeah.
I bet it's great too. I'm gonna get a copy
of and read it. Yeah, absolutely all right. So look,
if you have kids, you might have gone through this,
(14:28):
or if you don't have kids, maybe you've seen babies.
And Seinfeld did an episode on this, like years and
years and years ago, the Great Seinfeld Show. But got
a story today and it's it's interesting because I think
it happens more often than not if you have children. First,
(14:49):
that child is the most beautiful creature on the planet
to you. To you, of course it is. And that
is the first moment you see the baby, and I
mean that bond can't be broken. Everyone's child is beautiful,
but to be fair, there are times where you know,
(15:11):
they might not be as beautiful when they're little. Then
they all grow to the way they're supposed to, right,
But you know, there are some babies that aren't probably
the most cosmetically appealing when they're born. They've gone to
take a pause. I didn't know how to say it.
I mean, hey, it's a rough journey coming out of there.
(15:32):
Let's put it like that. That's not easy. That's not easy,
you know, popping into the world. Okay, okay, all right,
So say, look, Rod, you know what I'm talking about.
Some kids when they're born aren't, you know, gorgeous. But
they all grow into be gorgeous, so it's fine. So
(15:52):
there's a story about a woman and it's her child,
by the way, it's her child, and she posts on line,
new mom, new mom, you know, very excited. Here is
her son, and she posts online just after giving birth.
He's got the effing ugliest nose. This is mom posting
(16:17):
that about her child. He's got the ugliest saying this
about her child. How old is her child? She is old? Oh,
barely just born. Yeah, brand new, brand new baby. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
And the baby she says, he's got an ugly nose,
got an ugly nose, and she posts that on social media.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Now why is she? First of all, because we live
in a world where everyone must know every single thing
we do twenty four hours a day, because we're all
so important. Everybody really cares about what we do and
what we say, and where we're at and where we're eating,
who we're with, So we have to tell everybody everything.
She decided to share that bit of news in this
incredible moment, the birth of her son, new mom, There
(17:08):
you go, he's got an ugly nose and she posted that.
What do you think the reaction to that was, Rodney, Oh,
I think she got obliterated.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I think you got killed and destroyed by the comments,
am I right?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Of course? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? And well she should have.
Well she should have.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I mean we are you know, look, we've all we've
grown to the to the age of, like you said,
everybody's got to know everything about you. Got to know
what what you put on your French fries when you
go out to dinner, and what you ordered.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
And you know, how do I look in this dress?
And this tie? Is this tie? Right? How do I
tie my tie?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
How do I you know, make my shoes shinier, all
those things that that people find time to do on
a regular basis. But when you start, I think, I mean,
it's the only thing worse, I guess is to talk
about somebody else's child. If you said that about somebody
else's child. But that those kind of things never people
(18:11):
don't understand. It never leaves the Internet. It's always gonna
be up there forever it lives. And so as the
baby gets older, she's.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Gonna or is it she? Is it a girl or
a Boy's a boy? It's a boy.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
He's gonna He's gonna grow up and know, at some
point somebody's gonna play, Hey, you know what your mom
posted when you were born. This is what your mom
said about you when you were born. Now he could
grow up and we one of those kids that don't
care about anything, or could grow up with a lot
of sensitivities and be very sensitive to his apparents or
his looks or whatever. And this is his mama. Is
(18:48):
mama saying he got the ugliest nose in the world.
Why not necessary? Fred not necessary?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Of course, it's not. Yes, it's not necessary. The truth
of the matter is when kids are born. Sometimes things
aren't exactly where they should be. I mean again, I've
had a lot of kids born. Rodney's had kids born,
so we've been there, We've seen it. You know, it
all works out, they all end up the way they're
(19:19):
supposed to. I can assure you if somebody's got like
a little smush face at birth, that's going to change
in like two weeks, you know what I mean, It's
going to end in any time.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
I also had my metal guy and Robinson had you know,
he had a big head, big head when he was born,
big head when he was really little, and you know,
some people had the fun at it's expense, you know,
and you know, thank god, he was the one that
could kind of go with everything and just you know,
(19:55):
kind of went with it. But he eventually grew into
his head, you know, and he's caught up with his head,
you know, eventually. In fact, you know, I'm friends with
some few people, but you know, Sam Jackson, who has
no filter when you talk about him, and Robinson was born,
(20:15):
He's say, whoa damn.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
That baby got a big old hit. They've got a
big old For three years he referred to him as
that big hit. People but he's.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Fine now, he's fine. He's all good now, you know.
In fact, Robinson embraced it, you know, and it was
all good. But yeah, you know, but when it comes
to mom and posting it, that's gone too far.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Of course, it's awful. It's just awful. And here's something else.
If you look at someone's baby, if they say, look,
you've had a baby. You want to see a picture,
or if you come over and you see the baby,
you don't you say, oh my god, that oh beautiful, beautiful, yes,
an angel, because all babies are beautiful, all babies are
(21:08):
absolutely right. You don't sit there and say this, well
that's the big old pete boy head, or or my god,
my son's got the worst nose I've ever seen him
on life. Thanks mom, appreciate it. That's bad. That's bad. You
don't do that, mom, Mom, Never say that on someone's child.
(21:31):
You would never base it on them. Looks, that's just awful.
I wonder if anybody, I wonder if anybody growing up
ever dealt with that, you know, I wonder. Obviously, if
you're a baby, you have no idea, but later in
life you might find out, you might you might find out.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Yeah, what they were saying about you when you're when
you're little, you know, just like nose. And then all
of a sudden, you know, he's fourteen, fifteen, and he
wants to get his nose fixed because it started when
he was a baby, because Mom said he had not
he didn't have a perfect nose.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Come on, Mom, you better than that. Yes, she was savaged.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
She was savage a social media and let that be
listened to everybody.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I used to tell our interns all the time. I know, everybody,
you believe wants to know how you feel and what
you think and how important things are. I get that,
and you're special and you're an individual. I understand that.
Here's just the reality of life. At the end of
the day, no one really cares what any of us think.
(22:42):
They're more interested in what they think. But we need
to tell them. And you know, nothing ever happens with
that until you make a mistake. And once you've made
a mistake, then people know who you are. But it
was the mistake, the mistake that their interest, and then
you are representative of that. So Mom, no one ever
(23:06):
heard of mom before. Now everybody knows Mom. They know
her now, they absolutely know her.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Now there's always a consequence, all right, I'll.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Say when I said to I'll explain it because in
these context So I saw this yesterday before I even
saw this story to use for the show today. So
Lane Kiffin's daughter has a photo of I don't know
if it's a friend's baby or what it is. She says, oh, dad,
walking up to Lane Kiffin, take a look at so
and so's baby, And lane Kiffer says, what the hell
(23:45):
is that talking about?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Said to a baby? And he's like, oh my god,
how killing?
Speaker 6 (23:51):
He says, what is that?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
That was wrong too? It was terror that was wrong too.
Kiffin can do it too, you know, do you know?
You know if you know? You know? Okay, three hour show,
(24:16):
final break and we're back to put a bow on it.
I a.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Boy, it kind of flew by these three hours today
on a Friday. I know, we don't care, but man,
it went quick, Freddy.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
It did, all right. So before the break, you know,
we told you the story of a woman who posted
online that her son had just an ugly nose and
a newborn son, the mom taking the heat as she
well should. So then Kevin senses this thing about Lane
Kiffin and asked if we had seen it, So we
look at it during the break and let me set
(24:53):
it up. His daughter walks over and shows Lane a
picture alone and FaceTime of her cousins or her friend's
new baby, and Laine looks at it and says, what's that? Okay, son,
we watch it a couple of times. What is that? Yeah?
What is that? So we watch it a couple of times.
(25:14):
We're gonna play for you here in a second, but
a little context. So the FaceTime picture he's looking at
and we didn't know this until we really looked at it.
I don't know if this is real. Let's just put
it like that. If it's not, he did a great
job playing it. And if you really look at the
kid in the picture, you would not consider that kid
(25:39):
the most a tract?
Speaker 6 (25:40):
What, Kevin, is that the most photogenic?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah? The most photogenic, the most that's a better way
to put it, Kevin, Yeah, the most photogetic. So anyway,
we're gonna play this for you. So understand, she's coming
over facetiming there's a picture of a baby, and she
speaks to her father, Dad.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Look at cousin, Look what is that's He's so cute,
so cute, so cute, Rodnie, Do you think that was real?
Speaker 5 (26:15):
The the whole baby, Yeah, the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yeah, I think it was real.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
I think it was real because I think the Lane's
daughter knows her dad and knows how he basically basically,
he don't care.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Lane is just he's gonna say what he's gonna.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Say, you know, and worry about apologizing later. Is the
way the way Lane operates. So I think she knew
she was going to get a reaction out of her dad.
Now to post it on top of that, I'm maybe
in bad form because it definitely made her dad look horrible.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Do you think I don't know?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
You mean you're saying, are you asking if the baby's
real or the whole thing was?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
In other words, right, the picture of that baby, I
don't though. The baby did not look the baby didn't
look real. No, So so what I'm saying is maybe
they just did it as a joke, you know, just
made a video. Kevin. Do you think that whole thing
was real? I don't know.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
I mean, Lane does like to have fun on social
media a lot. Yeah, but just based on how I reacted,
I'd like to agree with Rodney I don't think that
it was stage.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I think that was natural.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
And because of that, because of but Rodney's right Wayane
Kiffin is so unfiltered and his kids know that. She
probably knew he'd have some sort of reaction like that.
That's why she didn't. So maybe that particular photo was
not the real baby. But also maybe the baby that
she showed him was also not, as I said before,
the most photogenic.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
But it might not be that exact photo. All right, Ronnie,
did you see it? I did not see it, And
to be honest, I probably don't care either way. But
how would you know because you haven't seen it. If
you see it, I have to tell you. I have
to tell you. To me, it looked like the whole
thing was set up. Because I don't know where they
(28:03):
found the picture of that baby. I don't think I've
ever seen anything like that. I can't believe that described
a baby. For our listener's Fred describe the baby kind
of a swollen Martian head? Would that be accurate? Kind of.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
If you picture like you say, are you saying like
if you picture an alien? Yeah, like an alien head martian? Yeah,
we're looking at it. That that can't be real.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
That is not real, because that looks like a distorted
alien that was bloated. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Yeah, I don't know if the baby is real based
on the way I'm looking at it now, you know,
and with AI now days, you can you can do
a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Now, I don't know that baby. We don't know that baby.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
We don't know if she's playing a joke on Lane
Kiff and her dad or not. But the baby certainly
does not look as if you look at it, the
baby looks like a it is like a put it
this way, the baby was born in a while.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Or the baby was like stung by a bee and
had like allergic reaction within minutes of it being born.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, So we're gonna get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
We're gonna be off the air, and man, we're going
right now tonight three local things. Dodgers Pirates at the Stadium, Lakers,
Timberwolves in Minnesota, King's Edmonton in Canada. I'm saying the
local teams went all three tonight, right, local teams went
all three. All right, Ronnie, thank you, great week, Kevin,
(30:03):
appreciate it as always, Rodney, good weekend. We do it Monday. Yes,
sir
And we continue on Fred Rogan, Rodney Pete on the
Friday Show on a five to seventy LA Sports Midnight Tonight.
A lot going on, Kings Edmonton, Minnesota and the Lakers,
and at the stadium, the Dodgers are back, Yamamoto and schemes,
Dodgers and pirates, and let's bring on our good friend,
Bill Plunket from the Orange County Register, Bill, how are
(00:21):
you today? I'm doing all right. Listen. Thank you for
taking time to speak with us. I know you have
a very busy weekend. Tomorrow you'll be promoting your book
signing at the LA Festival of Books right eleven to
one at USC.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yes, somehow I got invited to. That must be a mistake.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
We'll talk about your books, tell us about the book. Bill,
Come on, oh LA story.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's all about last season Otani and the Dodgers, and
if if you're a Dodger fan, you're you're an Otani fan.
I don't want to any spoilers, but I think you'll
like how it ends. Things went pretty well for both
of them last year. It's it's I think it's a
(01:10):
fun read. If you're if you enjoyed last season.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Hey, Bill, do you charge for the book? Signing another
word out? I'll sign my name, but it will cost
you five bucks. Question you asked, what are you talking
about that people? Personal thing with Bill? Stop? Bill, don't
answer that question. You don't you buy the book?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
You buy the book, I will sign it. I don't
know why people want me to scribble on their brand new,
nice books. My my signature is worthless even on a check,
So I'm not sure what the what the point of
that is.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
First of all, forgive, forgive my partner for asking.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Such a crass question.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Highly inappropriate question that he asked. Bill as you as
you as you right. You know wrote this book, and
you think about the Dodgers and the story and the
year that they had last year. So often when you
have big time moments and seasons like Otani had where
he went fifty to fifty with nobody ever done before,
(02:16):
the Dodgers, with all the hype prior to the season,
go and actually win it. Because oftentimes we see teams
or somebody or individuals on a team that have incredible
seasons but they don't finish the deal. The Patriots go
sixteen to zero and losing the Super Bowl. You know,
we saw the Warriors go, you know, set the record
(02:36):
for wins and they get beat in Game seven in
the NBA Playoffs. But oftentimes you don't always go and
finish the deal. With the Dodgers, they had all the
hype the off season signing of Otani and Yamamoto, and
then the year that Otani had and then eventually they
go on and win the World Series.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
You don't see that very often, do you build.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I appreciate them doing that for me because it certainly
made the book a lot more fun to write. Yeah,
you know, I agreed to write the book. I think
I signed the contract in like June, so we didn't know.
You know, I'm writing the first chapters, and we knew
that Otani coming to the Dodgers was going to be
(03:21):
a story. But then the whole free agency was one
of the most unique free agencies in the history of
professional sports, So there's a story there. Then the whole
EPE gambling scandal breaks in spring training, so there's a
whole nother story there. He's rehabbing from Tommy John while
(03:41):
he's doing this and having a fifty to fifty season
and going to the World Series. So yeah, it was
it was like storyline after storyline just piled up.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
And I think.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
We've seen with the Otani since he moved to the Dodgers,
he has a knack for coming through just when people want.
I mean, he hit a home run in his first
spring training game last year, hit for home run his
first spring training game again this year, he hit a
home run on Bobblehead Night when he got to forty
(04:14):
forty it was a walk off home run. And then
the fifty to fifty game in Miami one of the
greatest offensive games hitter has ever had. So in his
first playoff.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Game game that he'd been was five for five.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Six for six with three home runs and ten RBIs
I think it was, Yeah, and then he hits a
home run in his first playoff game too, So his
ability to rise to the moment last year was was
really remarkable.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Okay, let's talk about where we're at right now. Let's
do that Bill. Yeah, Look, that's been a little quiet.
I've seen no reason for concern because it's a long season.
Am I just overlooking this? Is there a reason for concern?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I don't think so, not yet. And I will tell
you this, it looks just like last year at this
time if if you if you go back, they had
the pitching injuries started. You know, we've had Blake Snell
and Lake Tringing both down now this year. The bottom
half of the line lineup was not producing. Last year.
(05:17):
It was a big issue early in the season.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
It's a big.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Issue right now. It's uh, it's very familiar. The offense
didn't get clicking last year until Miggy Rojas and Gavin
Lux started hitting at the bottom of the lineup and
it turned things over. It brought Otani and Mookie and
Freddie up with guys on base and everything changed when
that when that part of the lineup got going. So
(05:44):
I think that's what we need to see now. We
need to see somebody at the bottom of that bottom
half of the lineup start hitting. You know, somebody like
Michael Michael Conforto or Max Muntsey or Andy Pie has.
Somebody down there has got to start contribut because as
it is now, they're you know, the offense is kind
of dragging along with you know, a flat tier or two.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah, and Bill, because we're so close to it and
here in LA and we follow the Dodgers obviously very
closely that it's heightened for us now, is what the
Dodgers went through last year and have been going through
a little bit this year.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Is that something that.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Is more unique and like weird happening to the Dodgers,
or because we don't pay attention to other teams around
the league, this is something that happens to most teams
in Mais League Baseball, I mean the entry.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah, I think it's fair to say that Dodger fans
are pretty spoiled, you know, over the last ten years
or so. Yeah, Yeah, every other team goes to spring
training wondering who their fourth or fifth starter is going
to be. The Dodgers go to spring training wondering, you know,
how they're going to whittle it down to five starters.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You know the lineup.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You look at other lineups and there are dead spots
very apparent. Nobody has nine guys that just rake all
the time. So to expect that from the Dodgers's probably
asking a bit much. I think, you know, we're looking
at this and picking picking at sore spots. But they've
won two thirds of their games, you know, they've They've
(07:29):
got off to a slow start and they're playing at
a six seventy winning percentage. So yeah, I think you can.
You can kind of calm down a little bit and
and let it play out a little bit longer before
you really start getting worried.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah see, And that was my point. Look, I don't
know what people expect. And I've said this to Rodney. Well,
you know, they don't win every game. I can't believe
they're not undefeated. Well, they're not going to be undefeated.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
So a certain column is in town I think proposed
thirty seven and oh that he expected them to start
thirty seven.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And oh he probably wish familiar he had done that,
honest with you, Uh, trust me. And and the thing
is this, it's a long year, just like Andrew Friedman
doesn't even do it any until June first, and he
told me that, and to my early June. Now I
(08:26):
start looking at things and trying to figure out where
are we what might we need until that time. As
you pointed out, they're one of the best teams in
baseball at the and they should be the best, and
you just let it go, let the season take you
where it does. I mean, look, Blake Snell, did you
expect Blake Snell to be put on the shelf? So soon.
(08:49):
Maybe he did. I didn't, but it happened trying to elbow.
Am I right, I didn't expect that. Yeah, I'm a moto.
I thought he'd have a great year. Right now, he
looks like he could be a cy young guy. Okay,
I thought he'd have a good year. I didn't know that.
So you just gotta let the season breathe and just
go with it before you start making decisions or freaking out. Bill.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Oh, trust me, I'm not freaking out. I'm good for himself. Bill, Oh,
you're freaking out.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah, that's Fred's inner voice.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
You know, this is this is the unique thing about baseball,
And I would say one of the great things about
baseball is they play so much. One hundred and sixty
two games is a long time, and a lot of
weird stuff can happen in one hundred and sixty two games,
But the strength of it is by the end, everybody
(09:45):
has found their level.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
You don't.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
You're not a fluke for one hundred and sixty two games.
You know, you don't win hundred games by accident. You
win because you have the talent and you play well
enough to make it happen. So you know, we're rarely
dipping our toe into the season. Now, what are we
at thirty thirty games? Not even thirty games yet, so
(10:07):
we don't know what the you know, overall personality of
this season is going to be. It's going to take time.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
And as you mentioned, it's a it's a long, long,
long season, and people do tend to panic.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I don't know there.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I think there are people out there that legitimately felt
the Dodgers would win one hundred and fifty games.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
And it's just it's just it's just exact.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It is. Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Because there are good players throughout this league and good teams.
And speaking of that, when you look at the NL West,
which has turned into being the toughest best lead or
division in baseball, When you look at that, who do
you see at the end of the day is going
to be the biggest threat?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Is it in fact going to be the Padres again
because of their talent, or are the Giants for real, Bill?
Or is it the Diamondbacks, who with their pitching could
possibly stay there and be there at the end. Who
is going to be the biggest threat?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I said?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I said before the season started that I thought thought
the NL West was the best division in baseball, and
it's playing out that way. I think the Padres are
a big threat because of the rivalry that's developed between
the Dodgers and Padres. And I think the Padres look
back at last year's uh n LDS and and consider
(11:34):
it UH an opportunity that got away, and they probably
want another shot to you know, undo game Game four
from the n LDS. I think the Diamondbacks are probably
the best team of the three the Giants. You know,
I was interested to see what the Giants would be
(11:55):
Underbuster your posey. That's that's a kind of a new
project that started up there. So all three of them
don't have the depth that the Dodgers do. And that's
the one hundred and sixty two game challenge. So, you know,
the Diamondbacks may be the best team, but by the
end of the season, are they healthy?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
What? You know, who have they.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Lost along the way? The Padres the same thing. It's
a war of attrition. You know, what you have now
might not be what you have in September. So I
think the Padres are probably the biggest threat just because
of their attitude towards the Dodgers. I think that'll make
(12:38):
for some great matchups when they play.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Head to head.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I think the Diamondbacks are scary in a short series.
If they have the pitching then that they have.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Now, all right, Bill, Well tomorrow again, it's eleven to
one at USC the big LA Festival of Books. You'll
be there. LA story is yours. Anybody that buys it
will sign it. I'm sure. I don't think you'll get
out of there by one. To be honest with you,
I mean, I.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Think you'll be wonderful if there's a buying frenzy and
I and I have to stay longer. Oh, oh, that'd
be terrific.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
You mean you're okay with that? If you have to steal,
that's good.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I'll hang out longer if you guys want to buy
some more books.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
All right, thanks for doing this, Bill, good luck tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Hey, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Anybody ever told you have an ugly baby? Seriously? Have
you ever heard that? Have you ever heard anybody say, oh,
look at that, that's an ugly baby. Well we're going
to talk about it. A let's go. We don't care
on a Friday. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Many thanks to our good friend Bill Plunket. Those are
good guys. Uh Tho's got that that dry, dead pan humor,
doesn't he.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I love being on show like Kurb The Enthusiasm or
the Office or one of those shows.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Yeah, he's great. And he's always on with Kevin and
Adam on their podcast. Yeah. So he's terrific and we
really appreciate him doing it. And tomorrow you can go
out to USC. He's got his book. He'll be there
from eleven to one. La Story Love La Stories. Yeah.
I bet it's great too. I'm gonna get a copy
of and read it. Yeah, absolutely all right. So look,
if you have kids, you might have gone through this,
(14:28):
or if you don't have kids, maybe you've seen babies.
And Seinfeld did an episode on this, like years and
years and years ago, the Great Seinfeld Show. But got
a story today and it's it's interesting because I think
it happens more often than not if you have children. First,
(14:49):
that child is the most beautiful creature on the planet
to you. To you, of course it is. And that
is the first moment you see the baby, and I
mean that bond can't be broken. Everyone's child is beautiful,
but to be fair, there are times where you know,
(15:11):
they might not be as beautiful when they're little. Then
they all grow to the way they're supposed to, right,
But you know, there are some babies that aren't probably
the most cosmetically appealing when they're born. They've gone to
take a pause. I didn't know how to say it.
I mean, hey, it's a rough journey coming out of there.
(15:32):
Let's put it like that. That's not easy. That's not easy,
you know, popping into the world. Okay, okay, all right,
So say, look, Rod, you know what I'm talking about.
Some kids when they're born aren't, you know, gorgeous. But
they all grow into be gorgeous, so it's fine. So
(15:52):
there's a story about a woman and it's her child,
by the way, it's her child, and she posts on line,
new mom, new mom, you know, very excited. Here is
her son, and she posts online just after giving birth.
He's got the effing ugliest nose. This is mom posting
(16:17):
that about her child. He's got the ugliest saying this
about her child. How old is her child? She is old? Oh,
barely just born. Yeah, brand new, brand new baby. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
And the baby she says, he's got an ugly nose,
got an ugly nose, and she posts that on social media.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Now why is she? First of all, because we live
in a world where everyone must know every single thing
we do twenty four hours a day, because we're all
so important. Everybody really cares about what we do and
what we say, and where we're at and where we're eating,
who we're with, So we have to tell everybody everything.
She decided to share that bit of news in this
incredible moment, the birth of her son, new mom, There
(17:08):
you go, he's got an ugly nose and she posted that.
What do you think the reaction to that was, Rodney, Oh,
I think she got obliterated.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I think you got killed and destroyed by the comments,
am I right?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Of course? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? And well she should have.
Well she should have.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I mean we are you know, look, we've all we've
grown to the to the age of, like you said,
everybody's got to know everything about you. Got to know
what what you put on your French fries when you
go out to dinner, and what you ordered.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
And you know, how do I look in this dress?
And this tie? Is this tie? Right? How do I
tie my tie?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
How do I you know, make my shoes shinier, all
those things that that people find time to do on
a regular basis. But when you start, I think, I mean,
it's the only thing worse, I guess is to talk
about somebody else's child. If you said that about somebody
else's child. But that those kind of things never people
(18:11):
don't understand. It never leaves the Internet. It's always gonna
be up there forever it lives. And so as the
baby gets older, she's.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Gonna or is it she? Is it a girl or
a Boy's a boy? It's a boy.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
He's gonna He's gonna grow up and know, at some
point somebody's gonna play, Hey, you know what your mom
posted when you were born. This is what your mom
said about you when you were born. Now he could
grow up and we one of those kids that don't
care about anything, or could grow up with a lot
of sensitivities and be very sensitive to his apparents or
his looks or whatever. And this is his mama. Is
(18:48):
mama saying he got the ugliest nose in the world.
Why not necessary? Fred not necessary?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Of course, it's not. Yes, it's not necessary. The truth
of the matter is when kids are born. Sometimes things
aren't exactly where they should be. I mean again, I've
had a lot of kids born. Rodney's had kids born,
so we've been there, We've seen it. You know, it
all works out, they all end up the way they're
(19:19):
supposed to. I can assure you if somebody's got like
a little smush face at birth, that's going to change
in like two weeks, you know what I mean, It's
going to end in any time.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
I also had my metal guy and Robinson had you know,
he had a big head, big head when he was born,
big head when he was really little, and you know,
some people had the fun at it's expense, you know,
and you know, thank god, he was the one that
could kind of go with everything and just you know,
(19:55):
kind of went with it. But he eventually grew into
his head, you know, and he's caught up with his head,
you know, eventually. In fact, you know, I'm friends with
some few people, but you know, Sam Jackson, who has
no filter when you talk about him, and Robinson was born,
(20:15):
He's say, whoa damn.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
That baby got a big old hit. They've got a
big old For three years he referred to him as
that big hit. People but he's.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Fine now, he's fine. He's all good now, you know.
In fact, Robinson embraced it, you know, and it was
all good. But yeah, you know, but when it comes
to mom and posting it, that's gone too far.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Of course, it's awful. It's just awful. And here's something else.
If you look at someone's baby, if they say, look,
you've had a baby. You want to see a picture,
or if you come over and you see the baby,
you don't you say, oh my god, that oh beautiful, beautiful, yes,
an angel, because all babies are beautiful, all babies are
(21:08):
absolutely right. You don't sit there and say this, well
that's the big old pete boy head, or or my god,
my son's got the worst nose I've ever seen him
on life. Thanks mom, appreciate it. That's bad. That's bad. You
don't do that, mom, Mom, Never say that on someone's child.
(21:31):
You would never base it on them. Looks, that's just awful.
I wonder if anybody, I wonder if anybody growing up
ever dealt with that, you know, I wonder. Obviously, if
you're a baby, you have no idea, but later in
life you might find out, you might you might find out.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Yeah, what they were saying about you when you're when
you're little, you know, just like nose. And then all
of a sudden, you know, he's fourteen, fifteen, and he
wants to get his nose fixed because it started when
he was a baby, because Mom said he had not
he didn't have a perfect nose.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Come on, Mom, you better than that. Yes, she was savaged.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
She was savage a social media and let that be
listened to everybody.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I used to tell our interns all the time. I know, everybody,
you believe wants to know how you feel and what
you think and how important things are. I get that,
and you're special and you're an individual. I understand that.
Here's just the reality of life. At the end of
the day, no one really cares what any of us think.
(22:42):
They're more interested in what they think. But we need
to tell them. And you know, nothing ever happens with
that until you make a mistake. And once you've made
a mistake, then people know who you are. But it
was the mistake, the mistake that their interest, and then
you are representative of that. So Mom, no one ever
(23:06):
heard of mom before. Now everybody knows Mom. They know
her now, they absolutely know her.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Now there's always a consequence, all right, I'll.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Say when I said to I'll explain it because in
these context So I saw this yesterday before I even
saw this story to use for the show today. So
Lane Kiffin's daughter has a photo of I don't know
if it's a friend's baby or what it is. She says, oh, dad,
walking up to Lane Kiffin, take a look at so
and so's baby, And lane Kiffer says, what the hell
(23:45):
is that talking about?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Said to a baby? And he's like, oh my god,
how killing?
Speaker 6 (23:51):
He says, what is that?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
That was wrong too? It was terror that was wrong too.
Kiffin can do it too, you know, do you know?
You know if you know? You know? Okay, three hour show,
(24:16):
final break and we're back to put a bow on it.
I a.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Boy, it kind of flew by these three hours today
on a Friday. I know, we don't care, but man,
it went quick, Freddy.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
It did, all right. So before the break, you know,
we told you the story of a woman who posted
online that her son had just an ugly nose and
a newborn son, the mom taking the heat as she
well should. So then Kevin senses this thing about Lane
Kiffin and asked if we had seen it, So we
look at it during the break and let me set
(24:53):
it up. His daughter walks over and shows Lane a
picture alone and FaceTime of her cousins or her friend's
new baby, and Laine looks at it and says, what's that? Okay, son,
we watch it a couple of times. What is that? Yeah?
What is that? So we watch it a couple of times.
(25:14):
We're gonna play for you here in a second, but
a little context. So the FaceTime picture he's looking at
and we didn't know this until we really looked at it.
I don't know if this is real. Let's just put
it like that. If it's not, he did a great
job playing it. And if you really look at the
kid in the picture, you would not consider that kid
(25:39):
the most a tract?
Speaker 6 (25:40):
What, Kevin, is that the most photogenic?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah? The most photogenic, the most that's a better way
to put it, Kevin, Yeah, the most photogetic. So anyway,
we're gonna play this for you. So understand, she's coming
over facetiming there's a picture of a baby, and she
speaks to her father, Dad.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Look at cousin, Look what is that's He's so cute,
so cute, so cute, Rodnie, Do you think that was real?
Speaker 5 (26:15):
The the whole baby, Yeah, the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yeah, I think it was real.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
I think it was real because I think the Lane's
daughter knows her dad and knows how he basically basically,
he don't care.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Lane is just he's gonna say what he's gonna.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Say, you know, and worry about apologizing later. Is the
way the way Lane operates. So I think she knew
she was going to get a reaction out of her dad.
Now to post it on top of that, I'm maybe
in bad form because it definitely made her dad look horrible.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Do you think I don't know?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
You mean you're saying, are you asking if the baby's
real or the whole thing was?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
In other words, right, the picture of that baby, I
don't though. The baby did not look the baby didn't
look real. No, So so what I'm saying is maybe
they just did it as a joke, you know, just
made a video. Kevin. Do you think that whole thing
was real? I don't know.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
I mean, Lane does like to have fun on social
media a lot. Yeah, but just based on how I reacted,
I'd like to agree with Rodney I don't think that
it was stage.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I think that was natural.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
And because of that, because of but Rodney's right Wayane
Kiffin is so unfiltered and his kids know that. She
probably knew he'd have some sort of reaction like that.
That's why she didn't. So maybe that particular photo was
not the real baby. But also maybe the baby that
she showed him was also not, as I said before,
the most photogenic.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
But it might not be that exact photo. All right, Ronnie,
did you see it? I did not see it, And
to be honest, I probably don't care either way. But
how would you know because you haven't seen it. If
you see it, I have to tell you. I have
to tell you. To me, it looked like the whole
thing was set up. Because I don't know where they
(28:03):
found the picture of that baby. I don't think I've
ever seen anything like that. I can't believe that described
a baby. For our listener's Fred describe the baby kind
of a swollen Martian head? Would that be accurate? Kind of.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
If you picture like you say, are you saying like
if you picture an alien? Yeah, like an alien head martian? Yeah,
we're looking at it. That that can't be real.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
That is not real, because that looks like a distorted
alien that was bloated. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Yeah, I don't know if the baby is real based
on the way I'm looking at it now, you know,
and with AI now days, you can you can do
a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Now, I don't know that baby. We don't know that baby.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
We don't know if she's playing a joke on Lane
Kiff and her dad or not. But the baby certainly
does not look as if you look at it, the
baby looks like a it is like a put it
this way, the baby was born in a while.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Or the baby was like stung by a bee and
had like allergic reaction within minutes of it being born.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, So we're gonna get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
We're gonna be off the air, and man, we're going
right now tonight three local things. Dodgers Pirates at the Stadium, Lakers,
Timberwolves in Minnesota, King's Edmonton in Canada. I'm saying the
local teams went all three tonight, right, local teams went
all three. All right, Ronnie, thank you, great week, Kevin,
(30:03):
appreciate it as always, Rodney, good weekend. We do it Monday. Yes,
sir
