Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, we continue on Rodney Pete, Fred Rogan on
a beautiful Monday. Hope you all had a fantastic Mother's
Day and Mother's Day weekend, because it's not just one day,
it's all year long, right on, right on, right on,
all right. We talked a little bit about the Dodgers
early on, and let's bring on somebody writes about the
(00:24):
Dodgers and talks about not only their strategy going forward,
but also some interesting things that we brought up earlier.
Let's bring on Bob Nightingale. Bob, thanks for joining us.
Welcome on.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Sure, my pleasure. Thanks guys.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Okay, I found it fascinating. Rodney and I have kicked
this around for some time. Kyle Tucker is the best
player in baseball that nobody talks about. I mean, he's
not huge on Instagram, he's not in a lot of commercials,
he's not flashy. He's just really damn good. He's going
to probably be the guy at the end of this
season that will be the top free agent available. Are
(01:01):
we in the ballpark here?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, he's the anti flash no, very hard nosed player,
doesn't talk much, and I don't think he's not any
commercial PRIs.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
But isn't that, Bob, And and isn't that I know
we live in LA, but that's kind of the Dodger way.
I mean you look at the Dodger lineup, I mean
with the exceptional Tany in Japan, but Freddy's kind of
under the radar, mookies under the radar. All those guys
are just let me go do my business. It kind
of would fit great into that clubhouse.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Oh yeah, he fitscreen in a clubhouse. Just a hard
nosed guy, very well, likely respected by his teammates. They
loved him with the Astros. And you're right, it'll be that.
It'll be the high free agent. You know, last year
with Soto at seven hundred plus, with this guy, it'll
be you know, four hundred plus, maybe even five hundred plus,
(01:56):
but to be at least four hundred plus for him,
for sure.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And the thing about it is because he's not flashing.
He's just so sound fundamentally. He makes few mistakes, good hitter,
does everything correctly. So at a four or five hundred
million dollars price point, if you're at the Dodgers, do
you throw your hat in the ring for that, Bob? Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Absolutely, if you're gonna throw your hat in the ring
for one Soto and there are four teams over seven hundred.
You know, I don't know what the Dodgers offered, but
they weren't. They weren't in the seven hundred range, but
they were deeply in there. Why wouldn't you do for
this guy? And this guy is the better all around?
You know, it's certainly a better outfitter than one so
better base runner hitting, not that much difference, just an
(02:43):
older player. But no, you're you're definitely in there just
because they you know, they have a hole in there,
and they got guys who are free agents. Someone can
photos are free agent next months to free agent, uh,
you know, on and on. So they definitely they definitely
have a room from the line of the one.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Hey, Bob, you know we're talking about Kyle Tucker and
how he's kind of unassuming, he doesn't flound it around.
But you also write that the Dodgers are the are
the first team to travel with two planes, one for
the players and one for the personnel.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Uh is that true?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
And then how how do you think it sits with
the other clubs around the league that the Dodgers are
traveling with two planes.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Like this, well a lot a lot of law jelusy.
I mean, I'm sure they're saying, oh my god, why
can't we do this, Why can't we spend that kind
of money and just have a player only playing? And uh, yeah,
it's pretty cool. I mean the guys can do what
they want to play. And I think there's still at
least one trainer aboard, you know, just in case someone
(03:45):
gets sick or something like that. But that's about it.
You know, no coaches, no staff members and stuffing like that.
So you know, guys, guys enjoy a big you know,
extra expense and uh and they tell you what that's
the selling point, you know, when you're talking about a
Halll Tucker, it's like, you know what, they have things
first class there, they got a beautiful new home clubhouse,
(04:06):
great facilities in spring training, and you get your own plan.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah. Well that If I'm any other team in Major
League Baseball, I think I would file a grievance against
the Dodgers. I'm serious. I think I would call Rob
Manford and said, say, what the hell are these guys doing.
They're given the players their own playing and everybody else
f lies separately. But these guys get it all into themselves.
I'll tell you, if I'm a free agent and the
(04:33):
Dodgers are talking to me and the money is close
one way or the other with another club, There's not
even any choice about what I'm going to do. And Bob,
those are the little things that the Dodgers do as
a franchise that other teams and other fans don't understand.
And I think that's a huge reason why so many
guys when they're available want to come here.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, in the big thing too, honestly, Fred's in fact,
they win. I mean, you want to go to a winner.
I remember back in the day during the strike ninety
four ninety five, the only owner who didn't field the
replacement team was Peter Angels to Baltimore Orioles in every
single free agent. So I love Peter Angelos. I can't
wait to play for him when I'm a free agent. Well,
(05:17):
it came free agent time. Nobody's down there because they
weren't winning. You want to go to a place where
you can win the year after year, and Dodgers are that.
I mean the only the only nuggas you can think
about is a taxes obviously, and traffic. Uh, you know,
you don't hear guys complaining about traffic. You know, you
live close enough to the ballpark, or at least within
(05:39):
thirty minutes, so it's the same as you know, living
in the inner city.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, and it just feels I mean, I don't know,
maybe because we live here and are so close to
the Dodgers. But even with the two planes, it doesn't
feel like they flaunted. It didn't feel like they It
feels like they do it for their fans in the
community and the players. It doesn't feel like we're sticking
our chests out so we got more money than you,
We're gonna We're gonna show you how we do it.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It feels a little bit that way with the Mets
to me and and the old Yankees, but it doesn't
feel that way with the Dodgers. Am I too close
to it to feel like.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
That, Bob.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
No, I think you're right rounding him. And they played
the game hard. They play it right. Uh, you know, it's
like they're putting their hats on backwards, they're doing crazy
bat flips. I think when when he was excited their
day show, Hey what Tani, you know, whether he was
mimicking the diamond Back player or not. When he kind
of did the bat flip and threw his arms up
in the air, you don't see that. It stuck out
(06:35):
the fact that Otani did that. But you're right, I mean,
so well respected organization, got all the staff members you need,
you don't got, you know, got tenleven trainers, so every
everything is his first class. I remember asking last year, uh,
you know, I think it was staying cast and I said,
stand at what are you guys building a new clubhouse
(06:56):
for this? One's just fine? He goes, listen, his arms
raced out there. You want to have the best facilities.
You want to be able to lure guys, you know,
to your place, and that's exactly what they've done.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So, Bob, if you look at the National League West
right now, Dodgers in Arizona split a series, and uh yeah,
of the big four in the West, Arizona is currently fourth.
I look at it like this, everybody, the Padres, Giants, Diamondbacks,
they're all really really good. Whatever their record is at
this point, they're all really really good. And I think
(07:28):
it is tight at the end. But I do think
if the Dodgers split with everybody. I mean to me,
it confirms the Dodgers are indeed the best team in
the West. So I don't look at Arizona like, well
they're having it off here. No, they just haven't caught
fire yet. What do you think.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, I'm a little surprised by the Giants. I don't
think they'd be this good. Of course, now they just
got swept by the Ministerta Twins. So if anybody fades,
it's it's going to be the Giants and Diamads can
be scary. You know, we saw Cloburn Burns did on
their night seven shit out anything it's against it against
the Dodgers. They have a very good pitching staff and
Merril Kelly and Gallant Zach Gallan who they beat yesterday,
(08:06):
and brand fought. Uh you know Podres, you know the
last couple of years, you know, they're really stepped up
their games and there you know, they were in the
second best team in baseball last year. That Dodger Pottery's
first Round series is really the World Series. So yeah, no,
it's a uh hey, the Dodgers can be beat. But
I thought that was pretty impressive, the fact how well
(08:28):
they played that road trip and even just playing with
the Diamondbacks despite you know, the injuries. I mean, not
having guy like Tommy Emman around and Josh Ornandez. Those
are two big glosses, you know, much less the guys
in rotation like Snail and Glassnow, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Mean that's what it's gonna ask, Bob, Are you surprised
at all? I mean, I know they've they've they've insulated
themselves from injuries by having a bunch of free agent signings.
It's off season, especially pitching, and they still had to
go to the well to find pitchers. But the fact
that they still on top of baseball with the best
record when they've had all these injuries, I mean, we
(09:05):
look at it and go, just imagine when they get
everybody healthy, including the pitching staff, what's going to look
like in July when they actually do get hot or get.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
On a run.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, I mean, that's what makes a whole a tawny thing.
Fast ending, you know, when he goes back after the
All Star break, Yeah, I'm sure they'll be careful with
him and stuff, but they kind of need him in
the in the playoffs to be dominant.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
You know, Hey, his math's not gonna be in a
playoff roster. Will Snell be healthy?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You know, you know, sort of can count Yamamoto? Uh?
You know this hockey has been you know, a disappointment.
He has a little up expectations. So you know you
get Kershaw back. And but I think a big guy
will will be Otani? Uh just what can what can
he do? Come play out time on the mound?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
All right? And Bob, when you look at baseball overall,
are you surprised by the Tigers?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
My only price? Remember now, then they went nuts in September,
actually even after even in August. They trade away Jack
Flurri's the Dodgers giving up and they took off and
very good team. They get the best pitcher in baseball
and Trek Scuball. Uh. You know, Flerty has been solid
number two. But they're for real right now. If you
(10:19):
say who's the best team in the American League, I'll
say Detroit Tigers.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
All right, So go back to the nationally we talked
about the West. On the east side, they've got a
competitive battle too with the Phillies, the Mets, the Brave.
Do you who do you think do the Mets stay hot?
And do you think the Braves start to get it
going at some point, especially when they get a COONYA.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, I think that. Yeah, Lenna definitely steps it up.
And you know they've been a nuts Spencers rider too.
That be instead of dug themselves a little bit of
a hole. The Mets have done this without their two
free agents ownings in the off season, with itchy staff.
You know, with the Mannaya and Mantas, they're going to
come back, and you know, Alonso's playing like an MVP
(11:04):
k in at first base. The Phillies, you know, the
lineup can be hid and miss a lot, but tell
you what, that starting rotation is outstanding. They may have
the best rotation in baseball. Very deep, a little shakey
with the bullpen, but they can be scary. But yeah,
I would think, you know, hey, you got the Dodgers.
(11:25):
You know, Dodgers, Podrays, Cubs and Atlanta and Philadelphia. You
don't expect all five of those teams to be battling
it out, you know, sometime October.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
All right, Well, thanks for battling it out with us today, Bob.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
We really appreciate it, all right, thanks, thanks, thank.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
You, Bob. Our good friend, Bob Nightingale of USA today,
he thinks the Dodgers would be interested in Kyle Tucker.
Quite frankly, the Dodgers will be interested in anybody available,
but it will be curious to see, depending on how
Michael Confordo plays, would they go long term on another
layer like a Kyle Tucker Rodney Well, Kyle Tucker is
(12:04):
in a different category than Canforded no disrespect, but Kyle
Tucker's been doing it for years. He is a tremendous hitter.
He's a above average fielder. So yeah, yeah, it wouldn't
be a one year deal. It would be a long
term deal with Kyle Tuckerty decided to do it. We
(12:27):
also have to point out, and this came down a
couple of seconds ago. Freddie Freeman. Congratulations, my god. He
is the National League Player of the Week. He is
second in baseball. He's hitting three seventy six for the season.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Only behind Aaron Judge, who I think is on a
heater right now. Aaron Judge I think is hitting three
seventy or something like that. He's been incredible. But yeah, no,
Freddie Freeman hit one in the pool over the weekend
in Arizona, and you know Arizona's got in the stadium
at Chase Field. They got the pool in the outfield
(13:05):
in the center field and Freddie hit won in the pool.
You remember that, Remember that year the Dodgers won the
Pennant and they went and jumped in the pool. They
went and jumped in the arizzone the pool. I mean,
I thought it was the It was very cocky. Arizona
did not like that very much at all, but they
(13:26):
did it, and I think Arizona resented it ever since.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Kevin I can't remember. Did somebody say.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Wow, yes, wow, was it on the team? Then with
somebody else That's the only one I think of that
would be absolutely do that in the pool, But no,
it was.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
It was great. It was great Arizona.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You know, Yeah, we called San Diego the you know,
the little brother down south? What do we call what
do you call Arizona on his like the little cousin?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Right? Is that what they had a cousin?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, they had a serpients, but they're a little cousin.
And they didn't take they didn't take kindly to that,
the Dodgers jumping in the pool after they beat him
to win the to win the West. But no, it's great,
good for good for Freddy Freeman. Uh, he's been on
a tear lately. He's been incredible, you know, battling with
some injuries, but yet still.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
One of the best hitters in baseball. If you remember
last year, early in the season, he just didn't look happy. Now,
of course he went through a lot of stuff last year.
Thank god, his son is fine. But this is even
before that. Yeah, remember, and we kept saying, God, he
doesn't look happy just watching him. Yeah, there's something off
about him. He doesn't seem happy. And he did not
have a great regular season. Now he dealt with his
(14:51):
son and that's the only thing that mattered. Uh, but
still it was like something was a little off with him,
and then he got to them, then he got then
we get to the playoffs, and then of course he
hit the home run that no one will ever forget
and got hot in the playoffs. So now on to
the new year. He comes out and the sky is
like on fire. Yeah. He whatever was ailing him ain't
(15:16):
ailing him no more.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
He has been the guy that no matter who is cold, hot, whatever,
he has stayed hot. So if show A's over four,
you can count on Freddy getting two hits. Mookie's over three.
You can count on Freddy getting two hits. And Freddy
has been the most consistent player for the Dodgers throughout
(15:38):
this season, throughout April and May and and the Uh
was he.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Player of the week? That was player of the week?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Absolutely yeah, probably could have been player of the month.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Of the season so far. Yeah, yeah, without a doubt.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
By the way, k was not on that team that
was two thirteen for the Dodgers, but someone who was
on that team, Jerry Hairston. I want to see if
Jerry can come on the show tomorrow. I want to
see if he could affirm or deny whether or not
somebody definitely do that. I'll see if Jerry can come
on the showdown, Yes.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Please, uh later this hour. What would you do if
somebody told you your spouse cheated on you? What would
you do? Think about that? When he come back? The
name is official?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, come on, Rodney p fred Rogan on on Monday, Yes, yes, yes, Freddy,
many thanks to Bob Nightingale. Hey, listen, Freddie, we didn't
get into this. What did you think? What did you
(16:51):
think of show?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Otani's home run in Arizona and him like pimping it,
like like, you don't see show hey do that right?
You don't see him pimping it. And a lot of
people were questioning whether or not he was showing up
or trying to troll Guriel after that home run. What
(17:16):
were your thoughts on show Hay's response after he hit
the home run?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I loved it. I loved it because it was a
dramatic moment. It was an enormous hit for the Dodgers.
It was the game. Yeah, And to me, we saw genuine,
(17:41):
non orchestrated, organic excitement because he hit that and you
could see where he looked. There were a lot of
Dodger fans there. They erupted and he just tossed the
bat and threw up his arms and started running. I
thought it was great, Rodney, because it seems so organic
(18:02):
and real. To me, it was real.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I thought it was real and I and I also
if if everyone remembers the World Series with the Astros,
and it's his brother, right, Gurriel Uri Gurriel, the brother
that played for the Astros that did the little I'm
(18:29):
not even gonna sugarcoat it, Fred He did the racist
remark to you, Darvish, when you Darvish was pitching, he
did he grabbed his eyes and did the sand eye,
the slanted eyed thing, and they never forgot it. No
one ever forgot it, especially Japanese culture, never forgot it.
And you know when Gurriel hit that home run and
(18:52):
did his own pimpin' thing, it was a I guarantee
you that was a moment show hey was looking forward to,
and when it happened was Okay, I'm gonna get you
right back. And he did it, and he did it,
and he did it for I think he did it
for you. I think he did it for that back
(19:14):
at that family, even though you know the younger Guryels
on the Diamondbacks had nothing to do with that, But
I think that was towards his brother one hundred percent.
You thought it was that deep one hundred percent hundred percent.
When have you ever seen Choeyatani do something like that,
because he mimicked exactly what Guriel did earlier in the
(19:36):
game when he hit the Grand Slam. One hundred percent.
You don't forget, you don't forget. You don't forget that stuff.
Fred don't as an athlete, you do not forget that stuff.
And it was in his mind.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Do you think, because as you pointed out, it was
an affront to all Japanese people.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, In fact there was there wasn't any
repercussions for that, but there was talk about that when
he did it, and there was there was possible suspension
and all that kind of stuff. There was a lot
of controversy when he did that back in the day
when the Dodgers played played the Astros and nothing came about.
(20:22):
A lot of people believed he should have been suspended
or should have you know, something should have happened. Nothing happened. Uh,
Astro's going to win it. But yeah, that was definitely
an affront to the culture, and everybody felt it over there, guarantee,
you guarantee everybody felt it. So that was Otani going basically,
(20:46):
that's exactly what he did. One hundred percent. One hundred percent.
When have you ever seen him do something like that?
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Never? Right, I just thought he was so thrilled to
have done what he did.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Now he exactly mimicked what Guriel did earlier in the game,
and and and that was I thought it was awesome, awesome,
I loved it.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
By the way. I just went back and checked Gouriel
was suspended for the first five games of the following season.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
The following following season.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Got suspended for the next World Series game. Come down
to the next year.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I got you. Okay, okay, so he did get some
but but but again, that that just tells you that
that was that was an offensive remark or gesture that
he did that MLB suspended him the next season, but
nothing in the in the in the World Series at
the time, which a lot of a lot of people
(21:47):
at that time were upset with why he didn't get
suspended for a game during the World Series.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
See this tells you something. And there's an old saying,
still waters run deep. You ever heard that saying still
waters deep? What does that mean? Just because somebody isn't
isn't reacting immediately or seemingly out of control, it doesn't
mean they don't remember. Joanotani seems like the most composed,
(22:12):
controlled person not to what not too down right in
the middle. That's really big. He doesn't react big.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Time, thanks the ump and and gestures at the catcher
and does all the nice and bows and all that,
you know, respectful stuff. Don't ever underestimate the dog in him.
Don't ever ever estimate that he has got that mother
you know what dog in him. And he remembered because
(22:44):
if you know, Darbis is his like mentor and hero.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Like.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
He looked up to you, Darbis coming over here and
what you Darbis did, which a lot of people believe
he might go down to San Diego because of you Darbies,
but no, he looked up to them. But that was
a direct response to that.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
I'd say the Guryel family's in trouble as long as
Shoheyo Tani's and the Majors Utah Hockey Club has selected
its name. Everybody wanted them to be the Yetties, but
that was copyrighted and they couldn't come to an agreement
with the company, so they did not become the Eddies.
(23:29):
Oh that would have been the best. So they've become
ladies and gentlemen, the Utah Mammoth. The Mammoth, Now the
mammoth is not a bad name, but if you look
at their jersey, they're blue and white, so the same
colors they had last year. The white jersey just says
Utah on it, but the bluish dark blue navy jersey
(23:52):
has this creature on the front, and I think if
you were to look at the Nashville Predators jersey, it
looks exactly like that, except a different color.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
To me, the creature is called a wooly mammoth.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Fine, so it's not stopped laughing. Did you say it
was mammoth like the ski resort? No? No, no, no, no,
come on, Fred, No, I didn't you n you.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Know there was a wooly mammoth animal like back in
the day, at prehistoric time that was like an elephant,
but just like a huge whatever, right right?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
You really know that you didn't You didn't know.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
You didn't know what the logo was.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
It's it's clearly a mess. The mammoth Mountain logo's it's
it's a creature.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
You have a picture of a gondola on the front.
That's what they're like.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Oh my god, that's not my point, Kevin. Look up
the Nashville Predator logo. I've done this. Just look it
up and just tell me when you look at the
Wooly Mammoth head compared to the Nashville Predator head, are
they not basically the same thing? You thought it was
mammoth mountain. No, I didn't think it was mammoth Mountain.
I knew it wasn't that. Now Fred's getting mad well
(25:03):
because I knew that. But I'm just saying, look at
the predator and tell me that doesn't look like the same.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
They're similar. Now. Granted, the predator's mascot or logo is
also a prehistoric beast. It's a uh saber tooth tiger,
I believe. So if you flip the long teeth upside
down into a tusk and loop it a little bit further,
then sure, I guess. But I wouldn't say it looks
just like it. But maybe it was inspired. Maybe it
(25:29):
was inspired by it to a degree. Fraid I'll give
you that.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Well, to me, it resembles it too much.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
I don't I think you might be the only person
that sees.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
That too much.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
That looks And you said, you said the Memphis, Memphis,
Nashville and Nashville predator predator. Okay, yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
It was nothing alike. By the way I was, I
was trying to give you some credit there and stretching
it a little bit by flipping the teeth and making
them into tusks and all that. But they if you
want to say they look like a dynamic animal. Okay, sure,
but exactly alike.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
No, what do you have to do that do? Why
do you have to sit here and say it looks
a certain way and then two minutes later go, yeah,
looks nothing alike. Well, why you don't have to do
that because they don't kind of don't. Their heads they're
like animal heads go the same way, same directions, like.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
An aerodynamic Yeah, like they're in a dynamic position, lunging forward.
I'll give you that. But that's pretty much where it begins,
it ends, at least for me, Rodney.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
What do you think, Freddy, I don't. I don't think
it looks at all alike. Be honest with you. I don't.
I don't. I think it's totally different. It's different. It's
(26:51):
totally different. It's totally different.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Why why why are you saying?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
And and first of all, the predator there is more
like a cat, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Yeah, it looks like I don't know if it is
a sabertooth tiger.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
And now it looks like a cat. It's a cat,
fred I guarantee you the person that designed the predator
logo designed this one too, and they had a stencil
on the back and they just changed it a little bit.
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
The wily mammoth is a more of an elephant, big
giant elephant with like tusk.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
If you all right, let me just put it like
this so you don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Can you just saw that You saw the tusk and
you thought it was the same thing. Sabertooth tiger, Willie mammoth.
They both have tusk, and you're like, this's the same thing,
all right.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Didn't do it like this? Do it like this if
you didn't know the Nashville Predators or now the Utah Mammoth.
You don't know, You have no idea. And somebody walks
into a room and puts those two logos down. You
don't know what they represent, what they mean. You don't
know what team could they could be assigned to. They're
just sitting at a piece of paper. Are you telling
(28:04):
me you wouldn't say, yeah, they can't resemble each other.
You don't know what they are, You don't know why
they're there. Just look at these two pictures. Are you
telling me you wouldn't go, yeah, they can't look alike,
would you? Kevin? Not really Okay, I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
By the way, I didn't look up who designed each logo.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Okay, same person right? No? Uh.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
A design firm JDK Design designed to the National Predator
Sabertooth Tiger logo, and the design firm double Day and
Cartwright designed the Utah Mammoth logo.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
So I think the person that runs that one left
the first firm and went to their own. So I
think it's the same person. I think they started their
own business. They had a fight after they did. The
predator is.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
One?
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Is it tiger? What is a sabertooth tiger? The oh,
there's an elephant. No, it's not Ridney, it's a creature.
God Jesus Christ. They don't look anything like Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
I really hate that the Dodger logo looks so much
like the Oakland A's. It's ridiculous. Yeah, so ridiculous. Can't
tell the two apart.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Man, Listen, I'm getting a divorce and you can't believe
who told me to do that. I'm not really get anyone,
but someone has suggested someone else get a divorce and
they listened.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yeah, come on Happy Monday, Rodney, Pete Fred Rogan. Just
when you think you've heard it all here you go.
We talked about AI earlier and how weird and exciting
and creepy it is. Some people uses chat GBT thing
(30:02):
as a friend. You know that, right, Maybe you're one
of the people, chet GPT. Yeah, they become your friend.
The more you type and ask questions and communicate, AI
has a much better way of responding to you. If
they know you, they start to get to know you.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Yeah, we asked the question just real quick, Fred, We
asked a question about our dog who had some little
bumps on our on our mouth and we're like, what
what is the what are these bumps on our mouth?
We got to rescue. We rescued a great dan and
we're like, it's got some red bumps in our mouth?
What is this about? And chet GBT said, oh, you might,
(30:44):
you might. You got to clean the bowls better, because
you know, once they drink out of the bulls, then
you know they leave their saliva and things like that,
and there's multiple dogs doing that, so you might want
to rinse the balls on a regular basis.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
But also.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
We hope Atlas, our dog's name, is doing better. It
knew the dog's name, but you wrote.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
The dog's name in like like in the first time,
we asked, Yeah, but it's stores that that information stores.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
That's how's Atlas doing. And we like the great day,
we love great Danes, blah blah blah, and it started
to ask personal questions about the dog. Okay, so it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Right, So I mean it. It starts communicating with you.
But you know it's not real, right, we know it's
not real. It's it's a way that stores information and
then can process it and communicate back to you. I
don't know if if chat GPT, unless you've told it
(31:48):
something or asked it a question, really can communicate. So
here's the deal. There's this guy and his wife and
they think it would be fun to take pictures of
their coffee cups and have chat gpt read them of
(32:13):
their coffee cups. Of the coffee cup, the chatbot decided
that his cup his cup revealed he was fantasizing about
a mysterious woman with the initial E. Her cup, according
to chat GPT, said that it was already cheating and
the other woman wanted to destroy their home. Well, the
(32:35):
husband thought that was absurd. Why would chat gpt say
that when it had never been suggested. The woman didn't
find it quite as amusing, and she filed for divorce.
I hate to laugh about that. I mean, now, come on, right,
(32:58):
come on here, here, look at this all about coffee cups, right,
look at this picture and tell me whatever it means.
However they do it. He's fantasizing about another woman. They
look the chat GPT analyzes her cup and says he's
already having anna. He's having an affair and the other
(33:19):
woman with.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Lipsticks on the coffee cup that he had.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
And obviously if there was, he wouldn't be drinking coffee
with her with one correct correct.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
What in the world it's dangerous.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
I mean, you have to draw the line. You have
to use some common sense here. Yeah, I mean, in
the case of your dog, you put in the breed,
you explained what was going on, and all chats GPT
did was quickly scan everything online and give you tips
as if you had typed in tips to make sure
(34:01):
my dog avoids red bumps in their mouth. Right, Okay,
that information would have come up, that would have come
up without chat GP two correct correct, correct, But it
takes go ahead, go ahead, No, I'm saying, but the
chat bot has the ability to personalize it more so
(34:24):
you actually think you're having a conversation with it. Yeah,
it's information that you can google. But the chat bot
is built in such a way where, oh, this is
my friend. I know people that have named it named it.
Let me ask queen. Who's queen? Well here, I'll just
(34:45):
type it in. They've named it. Really people believe they're
having a relationship with it.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Yeah, and they lived their life based on it. That's
a scary part, Gary, I mean, that is.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
That is scary. Wait.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Wait, what time did he or she get home? Eleven
o five? And they were They told you they're going
to be home at ten forty five. Okay, yeah, let's
do the deductive reasoning. They were late because he's having
an affair, right, I mean, that's essentially what you just
(35:28):
said is that they looked at coffee cups and chat
GBT determined that the guy was having an affair and
the wife decided to divorce him.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Well, chat gptcher sent me something. Oh you know what
it was. No, I'm for us to go. We gotta go,
he said, we're done for the day. All right, thank you,
thank you very much. Thank you for assuming that I
thought the Utah Hockey Club mascot was a mammoth mountain.
(36:02):
I appreciate that. Kevin, well done, and Rodney we get
them tomorrow, Yes, sir,
All right, we continue on Rodney Pete, Fred Rogan on
a beautiful Monday. Hope you all had a fantastic Mother's
Day and Mother's Day weekend, because it's not just one day,
it's all year long, right on, right on, right on,
all right. We talked a little bit about the Dodgers
early on, and let's bring on somebody writes about the
(00:24):
Dodgers and talks about not only their strategy going forward,
but also some interesting things that we brought up earlier.
Let's bring on Bob Nightingale. Bob, thanks for joining us.
Welcome on.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Sure, my pleasure. Thanks guys.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Okay, I found it fascinating. Rodney and I have kicked
this around for some time. Kyle Tucker is the best
player in baseball that nobody talks about. I mean, he's
not huge on Instagram, he's not in a lot of commercials,
he's not flashy. He's just really damn good. He's going
to probably be the guy at the end of this
season that will be the top free agent available. Are
(01:01):
we in the ballpark here?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, he's the anti flash no, very hard nosed player,
doesn't talk much, and I don't think he's not any
commercial PRIs.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
But isn't that, Bob, And and isn't that I know
we live in LA, but that's kind of the Dodger way.
I mean you look at the Dodger lineup, I mean
with the exceptional Tany in Japan, but Freddy's kind of
under the radar, mookies under the radar. All those guys
are just let me go do my business. It kind
of would fit great into that clubhouse.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Oh yeah, he fitscreen in a clubhouse. Just a hard
nosed guy, very well, likely respected by his teammates. They
loved him with the Astros. And you're right, it'll be that.
It'll be the high free agent. You know, last year
with Soto at seven hundred plus, with this guy, it'll
be you know, four hundred plus, maybe even five hundred plus,
(01:56):
but to be at least four hundred plus for him,
for sure.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And the thing about it is because he's not flashing.
He's just so sound fundamentally. He makes few mistakes, good hitter,
does everything correctly. So at a four or five hundred
million dollars price point, if you're at the Dodgers, do
you throw your hat in the ring for that, Bob? Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Absolutely, if you're gonna throw your hat in the ring
for one Soto and there are four teams over seven hundred.
You know, I don't know what the Dodgers offered, but
they weren't. They weren't in the seven hundred range, but
they were deeply in there. Why wouldn't you do for
this guy? And this guy is the better all around?
You know, it's certainly a better outfitter than one so
better base runner hitting, not that much difference, just an
(02:43):
older player. But no, you're you're definitely in there just
because they you know, they have a hole in there,
and they got guys who are free agents. Someone can
photos are free agent next months to free agent, uh,
you know, on and on. So they definitely they definitely
have a room from the line of the one.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Hey, Bob, you know we're talking about Kyle Tucker and
how he's kind of unassuming, he doesn't flound it around.
But you also write that the Dodgers are the are
the first team to travel with two planes, one for
the players and one for the personnel.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Uh is that true?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
And then how how do you think it sits with
the other clubs around the league that the Dodgers are
traveling with two planes.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Like this, well a lot a lot of law jelusy.
I mean, I'm sure they're saying, oh my god, why
can't we do this, Why can't we spend that kind
of money and just have a player only playing? And uh, yeah,
it's pretty cool. I mean the guys can do what
they want to play. And I think there's still at
least one trainer aboard, you know, just in case someone
(03:45):
gets sick or something like that. But that's about it.
You know, no coaches, no staff members and stuffing like that.
So you know, guys, guys enjoy a big you know,
extra expense and uh and they tell you what that's
the selling point, you know, when you're talking about a
Halll Tucker, it's like, you know what, they have things
first class there, they got a beautiful new home clubhouse,
(04:06):
great facilities in spring training, and you get your own plan.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah. Well that If I'm any other team in Major
League Baseball, I think I would file a grievance against
the Dodgers. I'm serious. I think I would call Rob
Manford and said, say, what the hell are these guys doing.
They're given the players their own playing and everybody else
f lies separately. But these guys get it all into themselves.
I'll tell you, if I'm a free agent and the
(04:33):
Dodgers are talking to me and the money is close
one way or the other with another club, There's not
even any choice about what I'm going to do. And Bob,
those are the little things that the Dodgers do as
a franchise that other teams and other fans don't understand.
And I think that's a huge reason why so many
guys when they're available want to come here.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, in the big thing too, honestly, Fred's in fact,
they win. I mean, you want to go to a winner.
I remember back in the day during the strike ninety
four ninety five, the only owner who didn't field the
replacement team was Peter Angels to Baltimore Orioles in every
single free agent. So I love Peter Angelos. I can't
wait to play for him when I'm a free agent. Well,
(05:17):
it came free agent time. Nobody's down there because they
weren't winning. You want to go to a place where
you can win the year after year, and Dodgers are that.
I mean the only the only nuggas you can think
about is a taxes obviously, and traffic. Uh, you know,
you don't hear guys complaining about traffic. You know, you
live close enough to the ballpark, or at least within
(05:39):
thirty minutes, so it's the same as you know, living
in the inner city.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, and it just feels I mean, I don't know,
maybe because we live here and are so close to
the Dodgers. But even with the two planes, it doesn't
feel like they flaunted. It didn't feel like they It
feels like they do it for their fans in the
community and the players. It doesn't feel like we're sticking
our chests out so we got more money than you,
We're gonna We're gonna show you how we do it.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It feels a little bit that way with the Mets
to me and and the old Yankees, but it doesn't
feel that way with the Dodgers. Am I too close
to it to feel like.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
That, Bob.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
No, I think you're right rounding him. And they played
the game hard. They play it right. Uh, you know, it's
like they're putting their hats on backwards, they're doing crazy
bat flips. I think when when he was excited their
day show, Hey what Tani, you know, whether he was
mimicking the diamond Back player or not. When he kind
of did the bat flip and threw his arms up
in the air, you don't see that. It stuck out
(06:35):
the fact that Otani did that. But you're right, I mean,
so well respected organization, got all the staff members you need,
you don't got, you know, got tenleven trainers, so every
everything is his first class. I remember asking last year, uh,
you know, I think it was staying cast and I said,
stand at what are you guys building a new clubhouse
(06:56):
for this? One's just fine? He goes, listen, his arms
raced out there. You want to have the best facilities.
You want to be able to lure guys, you know,
to your place, and that's exactly what they've done.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So, Bob, if you look at the National League West
right now, Dodgers in Arizona split a series, and uh yeah,
of the big four in the West, Arizona is currently fourth.
I look at it like this, everybody, the Padres, Giants, Diamondbacks,
they're all really really good. Whatever their record is at
this point, they're all really really good. And I think
(07:28):
it is tight at the end. But I do think
if the Dodgers split with everybody. I mean to me,
it confirms the Dodgers are indeed the best team in
the West. So I don't look at Arizona like, well
they're having it off here. No, they just haven't caught
fire yet. What do you think.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, I'm a little surprised by the Giants. I don't
think they'd be this good. Of course, now they just
got swept by the Ministerta Twins. So if anybody fades,
it's it's going to be the Giants and Diamads can
be scary. You know, we saw Cloburn Burns did on
their night seven shit out anything it's against it against
the Dodgers. They have a very good pitching staff and
Merril Kelly and Gallant Zach Gallan who they beat yesterday,
(08:06):
and brand fought. Uh you know Podres, you know the
last couple of years, you know, they're really stepped up
their games and there you know, they were in the
second best team in baseball last year. That Dodger Pottery's
first Round series is really the World Series. So yeah, no,
it's a uh hey, the Dodgers can be beat. But
I thought that was pretty impressive, the fact how well
(08:28):
they played that road trip and even just playing with
the Diamondbacks despite you know, the injuries. I mean, not
having guy like Tommy Emman around and Josh Ornandez. Those
are two big glosses, you know, much less the guys
in rotation like Snail and Glassnow, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Mean that's what it's gonna ask, Bob, Are you surprised
at all? I mean, I know they've they've they've insulated
themselves from injuries by having a bunch of free agent signings.
It's off season, especially pitching, and they still had to
go to the well to find pitchers. But the fact
that they still on top of baseball with the best
record when they've had all these injuries, I mean, we
(09:05):
look at it and go, just imagine when they get
everybody healthy, including the pitching staff, what's going to look
like in July when they actually do get hot or get.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
On a run.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, I mean, that's what makes a whole a tawny thing.
Fast ending, you know, when he goes back after the
All Star break, Yeah, I'm sure they'll be careful with
him and stuff, but they kind of need him in
the in the playoffs to be dominant.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
You know, Hey, his math's not gonna be in a
playoff roster. Will Snell be healthy?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You know, you know, sort of can count Yamamoto? Uh?
You know this hockey has been you know, a disappointment.
He has a little up expectations. So you know you
get Kershaw back. And but I think a big guy
will will be Otani? Uh just what can what can
he do? Come play out time on the mound?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
All right? And Bob, when you look at baseball overall,
are you surprised by the Tigers?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
My only price? Remember now, then they went nuts in September,
actually even after even in August. They trade away Jack
Flurri's the Dodgers giving up and they took off and
very good team. They get the best pitcher in baseball
and Trek Scuball. Uh. You know, Flerty has been solid
number two. But they're for real right now. If you
(10:19):
say who's the best team in the American League, I'll
say Detroit Tigers.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
All right, So go back to the nationally we talked
about the West. On the east side, they've got a
competitive battle too with the Phillies, the Mets, the Brave.
Do you who do you think do the Mets stay hot?
And do you think the Braves start to get it
going at some point, especially when they get a COONYA.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, I think that. Yeah, Lenna definitely steps it up.
And you know they've been a nuts Spencers rider too.
That be instead of dug themselves a little bit of
a hole. The Mets have done this without their two
free agents ownings in the off season, with itchy staff.
You know, with the Mannaya and Mantas, they're going to
come back, and you know, Alonso's playing like an MVP
(11:04):
k in at first base. The Phillies, you know, the
lineup can be hid and miss a lot, but tell
you what, that starting rotation is outstanding. They may have
the best rotation in baseball. Very deep, a little shakey
with the bullpen, but they can be scary. But yeah,
I would think, you know, hey, you got the Dodgers.
(11:25):
You know, Dodgers, Podrays, Cubs and Atlanta and Philadelphia. You
don't expect all five of those teams to be battling
it out, you know, sometime October.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
All right, Well, thanks for battling it out with us today, Bob.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
We really appreciate it, all right, thanks, thanks, thank.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
You, Bob. Our good friend, Bob Nightingale of USA today,
he thinks the Dodgers would be interested in Kyle Tucker.
Quite frankly, the Dodgers will be interested in anybody available,
but it will be curious to see, depending on how
Michael Confordo plays, would they go long term on another
layer like a Kyle Tucker Rodney Well, Kyle Tucker is
(12:04):
in a different category than Canforded no disrespect, but Kyle
Tucker's been doing it for years. He is a tremendous hitter.
He's a above average fielder. So yeah, yeah, it wouldn't
be a one year deal. It would be a long
term deal with Kyle Tuckerty decided to do it. We
(12:27):
also have to point out, and this came down a
couple of seconds ago. Freddie Freeman. Congratulations, my god. He
is the National League Player of the Week. He is
second in baseball. He's hitting three seventy six for the season.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Only behind Aaron Judge, who I think is on a
heater right now. Aaron Judge I think is hitting three
seventy or something like that. He's been incredible. But yeah, no,
Freddie Freeman hit one in the pool over the weekend
in Arizona, and you know Arizona's got in the stadium
at Chase Field. They got the pool in the outfield
(13:05):
in the center field and Freddie hit won in the pool.
You remember that, Remember that year the Dodgers won the
Pennant and they went and jumped in the pool. They
went and jumped in the arizzone the pool. I mean,
I thought it was the It was very cocky. Arizona
did not like that very much at all, but they
(13:26):
did it, and I think Arizona resented it ever since.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Kevin I can't remember. Did somebody say.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Wow, yes, wow, was it on the team? Then with
somebody else That's the only one I think of that
would be absolutely do that in the pool, But no,
it was.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
It was great. It was great Arizona.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You know, Yeah, we called San Diego the you know,
the little brother down south? What do we call what
do you call Arizona on his like the little cousin?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Right? Is that what they had a cousin?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, they had a serpients, but they're a little cousin.
And they didn't take they didn't take kindly to that,
the Dodgers jumping in the pool after they beat him
to win the to win the West. But no, it's great,
good for good for Freddy Freeman. Uh, he's been on
a tear lately. He's been incredible, you know, battling with
some injuries, but yet still.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
One of the best hitters in baseball. If you remember
last year, early in the season, he just didn't look happy. Now,
of course he went through a lot of stuff last year.
Thank god, his son is fine. But this is even
before that. Yeah, remember, and we kept saying, God, he
doesn't look happy just watching him. Yeah, there's something off
about him. He doesn't seem happy. And he did not
have a great regular season. Now he dealt with his
(14:51):
son and that's the only thing that mattered. Uh, but
still it was like something was a little off with him,
and then he got to them, then he got then
we get to the playoffs, and then of course he
hit the home run that no one will ever forget
and got hot in the playoffs. So now on to
the new year. He comes out and the sky is
like on fire. Yeah. He whatever was ailing him ain't
(15:16):
ailing him no more.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
He has been the guy that no matter who is cold, hot, whatever,
he has stayed hot. So if show A's over four,
you can count on Freddy getting two hits. Mookie's over three.
You can count on Freddy getting two hits. And Freddy
has been the most consistent player for the Dodgers throughout
(15:38):
this season, throughout April and May and and the Uh
was he.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Player of the week? That was player of the week?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Absolutely yeah, probably could have been player of the month.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Of the season so far. Yeah, yeah, without a doubt.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
By the way, k was not on that team that
was two thirteen for the Dodgers, but someone who was
on that team, Jerry Hairston. I want to see if
Jerry can come on the show tomorrow. I want to
see if he could affirm or deny whether or not
somebody definitely do that. I'll see if Jerry can come
on the showdown, Yes.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Please, uh later this hour. What would you do if
somebody told you your spouse cheated on you? What would
you do? Think about that? When he come back? The
name is official?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, come on, Rodney p fred Rogan on on Monday, Yes, yes, yes, Freddy,
many thanks to Bob Nightingale. Hey, listen, Freddie, we didn't
get into this. What did you think? What did you
(16:51):
think of show?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Otani's home run in Arizona and him like pimping it,
like like, you don't see show hey do that right?
You don't see him pimping it. And a lot of
people were questioning whether or not he was showing up
or trying to troll Guriel after that home run. What
(17:16):
were your thoughts on show Hay's response after he hit
the home run?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I loved it. I loved it because it was a
dramatic moment. It was an enormous hit for the Dodgers.
It was the game. Yeah, And to me, we saw genuine,
(17:41):
non orchestrated, organic excitement because he hit that and you
could see where he looked. There were a lot of
Dodger fans there. They erupted and he just tossed the
bat and threw up his arms and started running. I
thought it was great, Rodney, because it seems so organic
(18:02):
and real. To me, it was real.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I thought it was real and I and I also
if if everyone remembers the World Series with the Astros,
and it's his brother, right, Gurriel Uri Gurriel, the brother
that played for the Astros that did the little I'm
(18:29):
not even gonna sugarcoat it, Fred He did the racist
remark to you, Darvish, when you Darvish was pitching, he
did he grabbed his eyes and did the sand eye,
the slanted eyed thing, and they never forgot it. No
one ever forgot it, especially Japanese culture, never forgot it.
And you know when Gurriel hit that home run and
(18:52):
did his own pimpin' thing, it was a I guarantee
you that was a moment show hey was looking forward to,
and when it happened was Okay, I'm gonna get you
right back. And he did it, and he did it,
and he did it for I think he did it
for you. I think he did it for that back
(19:14):
at that family, even though you know the younger Guryels
on the Diamondbacks had nothing to do with that, But
I think that was towards his brother one hundred percent.
You thought it was that deep one hundred percent hundred percent.
When have you ever seen Choeyatani do something like that,
because he mimicked exactly what Guriel did earlier in the
(19:36):
game when he hit the Grand Slam. One hundred percent.
You don't forget, you don't forget. You don't forget that stuff.
Fred don't as an athlete, you do not forget that stuff.
And it was in his mind.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Do you think, because as you pointed out, it was
an affront to all Japanese people.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, In fact there was there wasn't any
repercussions for that, but there was talk about that when
he did it, and there was there was possible suspension
and all that kind of stuff. There was a lot
of controversy when he did that back in the day
when the Dodgers played played the Astros and nothing came about.
(20:22):
A lot of people believed he should have been suspended
or should have you know, something should have happened. Nothing happened. Uh,
Astro's going to win it. But yeah, that was definitely
an affront to the culture, and everybody felt it over there, guarantee,
you guarantee everybody felt it. So that was Otani going basically,
(20:46):
that's exactly what he did. One hundred percent. One hundred percent.
When have you ever seen him do something like that?
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Never? Right, I just thought he was so thrilled to
have done what he did.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Now he exactly mimicked what Guriel did earlier in the game,
and and and that was I thought it was awesome, awesome,
I loved it.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
By the way. I just went back and checked Gouriel
was suspended for the first five games of the following season.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
The following following season.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Got suspended for the next World Series game. Come down
to the next year.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I got you. Okay, okay, so he did get some
but but but again, that that just tells you that
that was that was an offensive remark or gesture that
he did that MLB suspended him the next season, but
nothing in the in the in the World Series at
the time, which a lot of a lot of people
(21:47):
at that time were upset with why he didn't get
suspended for a game during the World Series.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
See this tells you something. And there's an old saying,
still waters run deep. You ever heard that saying still
waters deep? What does that mean? Just because somebody isn't
isn't reacting immediately or seemingly out of control, it doesn't
mean they don't remember. Joanotani seems like the most composed,
(22:12):
controlled person not to what not too down right in
the middle. That's really big. He doesn't react big.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Time, thanks the ump and and gestures at the catcher
and does all the nice and bows and all that,
you know, respectful stuff. Don't ever underestimate the dog in him.
Don't ever ever estimate that he has got that mother
you know what dog in him. And he remembered because
(22:44):
if you know, Darbis is his like mentor and hero.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Like.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
He looked up to you, Darbis coming over here and
what you Darbis did, which a lot of people believe
he might go down to San Diego because of you Darbies,
but no, he looked up to them. But that was
a direct response to that.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
I'd say the Guryel family's in trouble as long as
Shoheyo Tani's and the Majors Utah Hockey Club has selected
its name. Everybody wanted them to be the Yetties, but
that was copyrighted and they couldn't come to an agreement
with the company, so they did not become the Eddies.
(23:29):
Oh that would have been the best. So they've become
ladies and gentlemen, the Utah Mammoth. The Mammoth, Now the
mammoth is not a bad name, but if you look
at their jersey, they're blue and white, so the same
colors they had last year. The white jersey just says
Utah on it, but the bluish dark blue navy jersey
(23:52):
has this creature on the front, and I think if
you were to look at the Nashville Predators jersey, it
looks exactly like that, except a different color.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
To me, the creature is called a wooly mammoth.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Fine, so it's not stopped laughing. Did you say it
was mammoth like the ski resort? No? No, no, no, no,
come on, Fred, No, I didn't you n you.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Know there was a wooly mammoth animal like back in
the day, at prehistoric time that was like an elephant,
but just like a huge whatever, right right?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
You really know that you didn't You didn't know.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
You didn't know what the logo was.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
It's it's clearly a mess. The mammoth Mountain logo's it's
it's a creature.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
You have a picture of a gondola on the front.
That's what they're like.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Oh my god, that's not my point, Kevin. Look up
the Nashville Predator logo. I've done this. Just look it
up and just tell me when you look at the
Wooly Mammoth head compared to the Nashville Predator head, are
they not basically the same thing? You thought it was
mammoth mountain. No, I didn't think it was mammoth Mountain.
I knew it wasn't that. Now Fred's getting mad well
(25:03):
because I knew that. But I'm just saying, look at
the predator and tell me that doesn't look like the same.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
They're similar. Now. Granted, the predator's mascot or logo is
also a prehistoric beast. It's a uh saber tooth tiger,
I believe. So if you flip the long teeth upside
down into a tusk and loop it a little bit further,
then sure, I guess. But I wouldn't say it looks
just like it. But maybe it was inspired. Maybe it
(25:29):
was inspired by it to a degree. Fraid I'll give
you that.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Well, to me, it resembles it too much.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
I don't I think you might be the only person
that sees.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
That too much.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
That looks And you said, you said the Memphis, Memphis,
Nashville and Nashville predator predator. Okay, yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
It was nothing alike. By the way I was, I
was trying to give you some credit there and stretching
it a little bit by flipping the teeth and making
them into tusks and all that. But they if you
want to say they look like a dynamic animal. Okay, sure,
but exactly alike.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
No, what do you have to do that do? Why
do you have to sit here and say it looks
a certain way and then two minutes later go, yeah,
looks nothing alike. Well, why you don't have to do
that because they don't kind of don't. Their heads they're
like animal heads go the same way, same directions, like.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
An aerodynamic Yeah, like they're in a dynamic position, lunging forward.
I'll give you that. But that's pretty much where it begins,
it ends, at least for me, Rodney.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
What do you think, Freddy, I don't. I don't think
it looks at all alike. Be honest with you. I don't.
I don't. I think it's totally different. It's different. It's
(26:51):
totally different. It's totally different.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Why why why are you saying?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
And and first of all, the predator there is more
like a cat, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Yeah, it looks like I don't know if it is
a sabertooth tiger.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
And now it looks like a cat. It's a cat,
fred I guarantee you the person that designed the predator
logo designed this one too, and they had a stencil
on the back and they just changed it a little bit.
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
The wily mammoth is a more of an elephant, big
giant elephant with like tusk.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
If you all right, let me just put it like
this so you don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Can you just saw that You saw the tusk and
you thought it was the same thing. Sabertooth tiger, Willie mammoth.
They both have tusk, and you're like, this's the same thing,
all right.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Didn't do it like this? Do it like this if
you didn't know the Nashville Predators or now the Utah Mammoth.
You don't know, You have no idea. And somebody walks
into a room and puts those two logos down. You
don't know what they represent, what they mean. You don't
know what team could they could be assigned to. They're
just sitting at a piece of paper. Are you telling
(28:04):
me you wouldn't say, yeah, they can't resemble each other.
You don't know what they are, You don't know why
they're there. Just look at these two pictures. Are you
telling me you wouldn't go, yeah, they can't look alike,
would you? Kevin? Not really Okay, I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
By the way, I didn't look up who designed each logo.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Okay, same person right? No? Uh.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
A design firm JDK Design designed to the National Predator
Sabertooth Tiger logo, and the design firm double Day and
Cartwright designed the Utah Mammoth logo.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
So I think the person that runs that one left
the first firm and went to their own. So I
think it's the same person. I think they started their
own business. They had a fight after they did. The
predator is.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
One?
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Is it tiger? What is a sabertooth tiger? The oh,
there's an elephant. No, it's not Ridney, it's a creature.
God Jesus Christ. They don't look anything like Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
I really hate that the Dodger logo looks so much
like the Oakland A's. It's ridiculous. Yeah, so ridiculous. Can't
tell the two apart.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Man, Listen, I'm getting a divorce and you can't believe
who told me to do that. I'm not really get anyone,
but someone has suggested someone else get a divorce and
they listened.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yeah, come on Happy Monday, Rodney, Pete Fred Rogan. Just
when you think you've heard it all here you go.
We talked about AI earlier and how weird and exciting
and creepy it is. Some people uses chat GBT thing
(30:02):
as a friend. You know that, right, Maybe you're one
of the people, chet GPT. Yeah, they become your friend.
The more you type and ask questions and communicate, AI
has a much better way of responding to you. If
they know you, they start to get to know you.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Yeah, we asked the question just real quick, Fred, We
asked a question about our dog who had some little
bumps on our on our mouth and we're like, what
what is the what are these bumps on our mouth?
We got to rescue. We rescued a great dan and
we're like, it's got some red bumps in our mouth?
What is this about? And chet GBT said, oh, you might,
(30:44):
you might. You got to clean the bowls better, because
you know, once they drink out of the bulls, then
you know they leave their saliva and things like that,
and there's multiple dogs doing that, so you might want
to rinse the balls on a regular basis.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
But also.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
We hope Atlas, our dog's name, is doing better. It
knew the dog's name, but you wrote.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
The dog's name in like like in the first time,
we asked, Yeah, but it's stores that that information stores.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
That's how's Atlas doing. And we like the great day,
we love great Danes, blah blah blah, and it started
to ask personal questions about the dog. Okay, so it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Right, So I mean it. It starts communicating with you.
But you know it's not real, right, we know it's
not real. It's it's a way that stores information and
then can process it and communicate back to you. I
don't know if if chat GPT, unless you've told it
(31:48):
something or asked it a question, really can communicate. So
here's the deal. There's this guy and his wife and
they think it would be fun to take pictures of
their coffee cups and have chat gpt read them of
(32:13):
their coffee cups. Of the coffee cup, the chatbot decided
that his cup his cup revealed he was fantasizing about
a mysterious woman with the initial E. Her cup, according
to chat GPT, said that it was already cheating and
the other woman wanted to destroy their home. Well, the
(32:35):
husband thought that was absurd. Why would chat gpt say
that when it had never been suggested. The woman didn't
find it quite as amusing, and she filed for divorce.
I hate to laugh about that. I mean, now, come on, right,
(32:58):
come on here, here, look at this all about coffee cups, right,
look at this picture and tell me whatever it means.
However they do it. He's fantasizing about another woman. They
look the chat GPT analyzes her cup and says he's
already having anna. He's having an affair and the other
(33:19):
woman with.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Lipsticks on the coffee cup that he had.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
And obviously if there was, he wouldn't be drinking coffee
with her with one correct correct.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
What in the world it's dangerous.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
I mean, you have to draw the line. You have
to use some common sense here. Yeah, I mean, in
the case of your dog, you put in the breed,
you explained what was going on, and all chats GPT
did was quickly scan everything online and give you tips
as if you had typed in tips to make sure
(34:01):
my dog avoids red bumps in their mouth. Right, Okay,
that information would have come up, that would have come
up without chat GP two correct correct, correct, But it
takes go ahead, go ahead, No, I'm saying, but the
chat bot has the ability to personalize it more so
(34:24):
you actually think you're having a conversation with it. Yeah,
it's information that you can google. But the chat bot
is built in such a way where, oh, this is
my friend. I know people that have named it named it.
Let me ask queen. Who's queen? Well here, I'll just
(34:45):
type it in. They've named it. Really people believe they're
having a relationship with it.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Yeah, and they lived their life based on it. That's
a scary part, Gary, I mean, that is.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
That is scary. Wait.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Wait, what time did he or she get home? Eleven
o five? And they were They told you they're going
to be home at ten forty five. Okay, yeah, let's
do the deductive reasoning. They were late because he's having
an affair, right, I mean, that's essentially what you just
(35:28):
said is that they looked at coffee cups and chat
GBT determined that the guy was having an affair and
the wife decided to divorce him.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Well, chat gptcher sent me something. Oh you know what
it was. No, I'm for us to go. We gotta go,
he said, we're done for the day. All right, thank you,
thank you very much. Thank you for assuming that I
thought the Utah Hockey Club mascot was a mammoth mountain.
(36:02):
I appreciate that. Kevin, well done, and Rodney we get
them tomorrow, Yes, sir,
