(00:01):
Sorry, did we go? OnMonday? Fred Rogan roden E Pete on
LA Sports three hour program for USToday. David Vasse joins the show at
one o'clock. Okay, well youall start. Break couldn't have come soon
enough for the Dodgers. Let's justput it or did it? Yeah?
(00:21):
No, you're right, Fred,I'm sorry. I mean to cut you
off. No. Sometimes sometimes youthink, you think, if you're struggling,
or even if you're doing well,sometimes you don't want to break.
You want to keep going. Andbecause you don't want to either if you're
doing well, you don't want tolose that rhythm, or if you're doing
bad, you want to you wantto get that taste out of your mouth
(00:41):
as soon as possible. You don'twant to break, to have it linger
over your mind and and everything youdo. In this case, for the
Dodgers, Uh, this is abreak that is much, much, much
needed for a variety of different reasons. But they need this break. Fred.
Uh. They limp into the break, they crash into the wall.
There's just bad. They drop twoof three to Detroit, right, and
(01:07):
we said, oh no, you'llget well against the Tigers. No,
fuck toy Thatt, Well, youknow what that shows how sick the Dodgers
are. They need very serious medicalcare. Not even the Tigers can make
them feel better. One day theyblew like a five running leader in the
ninth he's just like, oh mygod, oh my god. And then
yesterday that debacle, two errors andthey lose that game as well. They're
(01:34):
they're wounded, there's no question aboutit. And they're a game under five
hundred since May twenty first. Now, we kind of touched on this last
week, and by the way,later we might do panic meter calls.
Maybe I'll do panic meter as wehit the all Star break here my panic
meter. I have no panic atall. Oh boy, what what does
(01:56):
three years change? Man? Itell you what. Three years ago,
you would have been all over thatred, like like little red riding hood.
You'd have been so red it'd beenlike you, you know, smoked
a big old box of weed forit. Your eyes would have been red,
your body would have been read.They would have called you heat miser
(02:16):
from those old Christmas movies back inthe day. But now you're saying you're
not panicked at all, not atall, no concerns whatsoever. Wow,
Wow, West it's the new Freddy. Here's why, here's why we touched
on it. They're really really beatup, I mean really beat up,
(02:38):
and the loss of Mooky and theloss of Monsey and Jason Haywood has been
in and out, but just Mookyand Munsey. They still would be winning
if they had any pitching. That'sthe problem. It's the pitching. We
touched on it last week and theyare just savaged their staff. They have
(03:00):
none. There's your there's your issue. They have none. It's like you're
pitching Rodney Ryan pitching. Everybody ishurt. So I'm not going to be
panicked because eventually somebody's going to getwell or they're going to make a move.
But until that point, this iswhat you're going to get. And
(03:23):
it's ugly. Wow, I mean, and you can blame Dave Roberts.
Go ahead, it's time. Wehaven't opened the phone lines yet. We'll
do it next hour at fire DaveRoberts. We'll probably get two or three
of those, don't you think?Of course? Yes? Who do you
want me to trot out there?Next? Right? We'll fire Dave Roberts
because that'll solve it. It doesn'tmatter how the air the bat boy.
I mean, man, he cando a lot of things. He saves
(03:44):
O'tany's life by catching the foul ball, but sure did he can't go out
there and pitch. What do youwant him to do? Ben on pitching,
But I think, Fred, there'smore to it than that. That's
why it's it's a it's a it'sa little bit different. We can't just
say that it's just pitching because youlook at those games over the weekend and
I don't have it in front ofme. I had it before. But
(04:06):
Fred, runners in scoring position,runners in scoring position, I don't know
how many runners they had, howmany times they in critical moments they had
runners in scoring position and could notget a run across. And there were
multiple times where you know they'd havesecond and third or bases loaded one out
(04:30):
and couldn't get more than one runacross. I mean it is so yes,
pitching is, you know, notwhat it needs to be. And
the injury bugets killed the Dodgers sofar, and pitching certainly is a big
big concern, but man so isthe hitting. So it was the hitting,
Freddie, they got a hit withrunners in scoring position. Now,
(04:50):
yeah, we've talked about that foryears. Hitting his feast or family.
With them, it always has been, and you just hope it's feast when
it really matters. I mean,they've gone through this every single season.
How many times have we said herand said, well, last night they
left twelve guys on base and theycouldn't score, but then all of a
sudden they explode. So hitting's feastor famine. You could say there's a
(05:13):
lack of consistency in that, andI would agree. But again, if
that is the case, there's beena lack of consistency there for the past
five years, so that's nothing new. I'll take that. At least,
if you have somebody who can pitch, you got a shot. But everyone
is dinged up, everyone is bangedup, and Ramirez goes in yesterday,
(05:34):
commits two errors, they lose thatgame. Dave Roberts doesn't know what to
do or what to say. Let'sjust be honest. And if you're thinking
he's got the magic wand he doesn't, and it doesn't matter what he says.
Quite frankly, it makes no difference. If the guys go out and
get hit, there's nothing you're goingto do. Bobby Miller. They had
to send him down to Oka Seeto reset, and he was somebody they
(05:57):
were counting on all year long.Yes, now I've got to and I
don't know about Yamamoto, Rodney,I don't do you. No, No,
I don't think anyone knows for sure. I don't know about how's he
doing when he's coming back. Andthen on top of that, we don't
know how he's gonna be when hecomes back. We don't know Walker Bueller,
(06:17):
do we actually sit here and saywe know, we don't. We
don't know. If you just they'reno pitching, they have no pitching,
and that's the issue. So amI hitting a panic meter? No,
I'm not, because they're going toget it. They're going to find pitching.
(06:38):
It's going to happen. I don'tknow when trade deadline, maybe somebody
gets healthy, maybe Bobby Miller figuresit out. They will have pitching.
And that's why I'm not hitting thepanic button yet. Dave Roberts in Detroita,
this isn't even who we are basicallysaid, I don't even know who
this is. Like the Clippers whenthey didn't have an identity, Remember that
(07:01):
they went through their identity crisis theClippers. This is not an identity crisis.
This is like, we don't evenknow what this is. It's an
identity crisis. I mean, there'sthere's it's a revolving door of who's gonna
trot through that door, not tonot to join the team, Fred,
to give an extra body in theclubhouse, but who's going trout through that
(07:21):
door to start the game for ustomorrow? You know, that guy may
try in at midnight. We maynot even you know, have ever talked
to. But there's guys coming ingetting in at midnight and then starting the
next day. Yeah. The guythat started yesterday did get in it at
midnight, yes, and then startedthe game. Hi, I'm here,
(07:46):
I'm here. Where can I unpackmy bags? You don't have time right
here in the stadium, there's noYeah, there's no unpacking your bags.
Just go get out there and startthrowing. Yeah. I mean, that's
how bad it is now. Itis. And I know, listen,
every every team, every sport hasinjuries, and teams will go through their
(08:09):
share of injuries, and some arebigger than others. But man, I
can't imagine another team dealing with whatthe Dodgers have dealt with so far the
season with their main and key guys, you know, with key guys in
their either rotation or in their lineup. I don't know another team has dealt
with that. Freddy do you canyou, off the top of your head
tell me another team has dealt withthe amount of injuries to key I'm not
(08:30):
talking about just role play. I'mtalking about key members of their staff,
key members of their of their lineupthat the Dodgers have. I can't and
Kevin will correct me if I'm wrong. As bad as they've been, and
if we're honest, they've been prettybad, they're below five hundred. So
that pretty much tells you. Inthe last twenty some odd games, Uh,
(08:52):
they still the fourth best record inbaseball. Yeah, and they're still
leading the West. I mean,what does that tell you? Right as
we sit here and get through youknow, talk about panic and it takes
some calls and that's fire. DaveRoberts, Oh my god, Oh my
goodness. It's still in first place, still had the fourth best record in
baseball. It can't get much worse. And the upside is that they're gonna
(09:16):
get guys back. That's what I'msaying, that's why I'm not panicked at
all. I don't want to bea literal police. But they are have
their fifth best record in baseball,just to be accurate, fifth fifth.
Oh, well, forget it.Then they're terrible, exactly, They're done.
So that's the end of it forthem, fifth best record in baseball.
As bad as they've been, they'vegot the fifth best record in baseball.
Yeah, and they will get guysback. And I would only ask
(09:39):
you to remember this, and that'swhy I'm very different this season. Well,
let's just worry about it when itwhat it really counts, if they're
in first place, if they're movingalong in first place, Let's worry about
it when it counts, and whenit counts the playoffs, that's when I'd
like to see him catch fire.If whatever they're going through, whatever this
malaise is as bad as it's been, let it happen now, right now.
(10:05):
Let them fight their way out ofit, and then fighting their way
out of it, get a littlemomentum, get a little momentum heading into
the playoffs, because it doesn't howmany times do we have to say this
won one hundred and eleven games,win one hundred and five games, won
a million five games. Who cares? The minute you hit the playoffs,
(10:26):
if you lose, it's over.So what does that mean? That means
everybody got to go watch them wingames during the regular season when the only
thing that matters for these guys isthe postseason. So Mookie will get healthy
and hopefully Monsey will get back andRodney. That's taken a lot longer,
I think than people believed it has. It really has. I remember talking
back in June early June, andit felt like it was going to going
(10:46):
to be a couple of weeks,a couple more weeks for him to get
back, and then they had toset back. And again I've said this
before that if you not had anoblique it is a tricky, tricky injury
that can sneak up on you andyou feel like you're back to one hundred
percent or you feel like you're healthyin one little movement, and it didn't
(11:07):
even have to be a baseball movement, but it could be you know,
you do something odd, you stumblerunning and getting out of bed, or
you stumble, you know, asyou're jumping out of the shower that makes
you jerk yourself a little bit,and it can happen that way. It's
just a tricky, tricky injury,and you got to make sure that it
is it is really healed. Andwhen you think it's healed, you probably
(11:30):
need to give it another couple ofweeks. So that's I think what's going
on with Max. But they desperatelyneed him back in the lineup they have.
It has shown that they have reallyreally missed him and missed his bat.
How bad is it? How badis it for these guys? Maybe
this sums it all up. DustinMay is now done. Yeah. Now,
(11:52):
Destiny had an iron problem. Weknow that, and he was rehabbing,
we know that. There he suffersa torn esophagus eating. Hen't even
saying baseball. He was eating.He was eating and tore his esophagus.
That's the kind of year it is. I don't know what he was eating,
(12:16):
but he tours esophagus. It hadnothing to do with baseball. It
had to do with eating. He'sdone. Now, that's the kind of
year it's been so far. Rodney. Yeah, Yeah, it's God,
it's scary. It's scary because theanticipation and the build up for this year
and excitement for this year is stillthere. You know, I think I
(12:37):
still you know, as you mentionfed one hundred and eleven games, one
hundred and five games, ninety eightgames, doesn't matter, doesn't matter.
We've been there, We've seen thatmovie. They're gonna make the playoffs,
They're gonna be in it, butyou definitely want them to be hot when
they enter October and they You don'twant to go into the playoffs with this
feeling that we have right now goinginto the All Star break, you have
(12:58):
this feeling going into October, youknow, don't even unpack your bags because
it can be a short it couldbe a short stint in the playoffs because
this is an ugly feeling with noconfidence. There's no real sense of rhythm
with this team right now, andso it would be bad if they were
to enter the playoffs like this.This is not where you want to be.
(13:22):
So a lot of times still tochange everything and turn everything around.
Long season, you know, there'sa point where man, they're unbeatable.
And there's a point. Remember wesaid, old Tony remember the all the
time. You know, Moogie getshurt, Old Tony goes on a tear
and maybe got to leave him atleadoff spot and got to do this.
He struggled, he's struggling, youknow. So it's always gonna be ebbs
and flows. But man, itcannot be. It cannot be this situation
(13:48):
as we head into October a coupleof months. And that's exactly why I
have no panic none. You're right. In past years, i'd be like,
oh my god, it doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter. Stay
in first place, get healthy,and let's see what happens. Sure,
if you go to the game,you want him to win every game.
And I told you about the guythat works here. He comes up to
(14:09):
me every morning and he is perplexed. He's flummox he can't believe what happened.
And then he has to tell mewhat happened for fifteen minutes. And
I said, yeah, fred Ican't believe it. I can't tell you.
I don't even know. I don'tknow what happened, Freddy. Please,
I can't figure. I can't putmy finger I don't know what happened,
(14:30):
Freddie. Let me tell you whathappened, right, let me tell
you what That's exactly what I do. And now it's the same thing every
day. They have no pitching.They're hurt. Yeah, but there's no
Yeah, but you have no pitching, and they're hurt. If you were
a bus driver, if you neededto take the bus, but the bus
driver got sick and they put thesubstitute bus driver in who doesn't know the
(14:56):
routes. That might be a bitof an adventure, could be an adventure,
A little bit, a little bitfriend, right, all right,
Well, the Dodgers are going onan adventure, not a pleasurable one.
They'd say, they've been on anadventure for a little bit. Now it's
(15:18):
been an adventure. The Magic schoolBus, remember that back in the day,
Magic school Bus cartoon. I don'tknow if you watch it with your
kids, We're always going to anadventure, Fred, You never knew it
was going to end up That magicschool bus could end up in Antarctica,
you know. And then the teacherwas she was the best teacher in the
world because she would always get thekids out of it. Well, it's
(15:39):
on. We're on that magical adventure, Fred, the magic school bus right
now. Well, we know wherethis bus has ended up so far,
right in the ditch. But thegood news is we'll get the toe truck
out there. We'll get the busout of the ditch and keep back on
the road. Get back on theroad. Did I ever tell you the
(16:00):
Jo Rico bus story? Oh no, never tell a story. No,
no, you have not. Ineed to hear it though. I need
to hear it on a Monday,all right, you know what. All
right, well we come back,I'm gonna tell you the Joe Rico bus
story. I can't believe I've nevertold you that. I don't know Kevin.
(16:23):
I don't know if Kevin's heard theJoe Rico's story, but I certainly
haven't. I can't say that Ihave no. Wait a minute, it's
the bus in the ditch, allright? Did I tell that before?
No? All right, we'll dowhen we come back. Yeah, no,
double DUTs. Yeah, get onthat bus, Get on that double
Dutch bus. Yeah, come on, come on, come on. Yeah,
(16:59):
righty be fred on a Monday.I hear you, Ronnie, thank
you. That was a feel goodsong right there. All right, we're
talking about the bus. I nevertold you the Joe Rico story. No,
all right, So years ago?Who is jo Jo Rico was a
reporter at KNBC years ago, yearsand years and years ago, and they
(17:21):
sent Jo Rico out to do astory on a bus that had overturned in
a ditch. I don't think anybodywas hurt. So they send Joe out
and they tell them, all right, get out there and do a live
shot about the bus and the ditch, and Joe says, I'll go.
So he goes out to the location. The anchors are in the studio and
(17:42):
they pitched to Joe and he's outthere on the scene. So he's standing
about ten feet in front of theditch. Okay, so do you have
the visual the buses in the ditchand if he turns around, obviously the
bus is going to be right herewith me. Yeah, that's how close
(18:02):
he That's how close the ditch isto where he's standing. Okay, see,
you think that'll be pretty good visual. Right, So he goes out
there and they tossed to him andthey go right. Joe Rico is on
the scene. Joe, it happened. He starts up by saying, Okay,
I'm out here, and uh,you know, the bus ran into
the ditch, overturned in the ditch, and if you look behind me,
(18:26):
you will see the bus. Heturns and there's no bush, there's no
bus. He's ten feet from wherethis probably happened, and he didn't realize
before he started talking that they hadalready moved the bus. So when he
turns and he goes, okay,well you look behind me. You can
(18:48):
see the bus in the ditch.Then he turns back to the gamera and
he goes, no, the busisn't there. How could you miss the
bus ten feet in front of you? I mean, you're standing ten feet
in front of this. You don'trealize a giant bus has already been moved
from the ditch, or there wasgotta be some noise with the crane,
(19:11):
or however they got the bus outthe toe had been some giant cleaning and
clacking and all kinds of stuff withthat. I mean, maybe he thought
it was a green screen fit.He thought something. I was sitting on
the set going insanity. How doesa guy not realize that there's no bus
(19:33):
right go to the bus? Asyou can see, there's the bus behind
me. He said something like that. Yeah, he goes and you can
see the buses, you know,right behind me in the ditch. And
it turns around and there's nothing there'sno bus. How could you move a
giant bus and not notice it?Why would you think the bus is behind
you? But it was nothing buta ditch. They moved the bus and
(19:57):
he was he didn't he didn't evenrealize it. Uh well, maybe he
didn't want to do that story inthe first place. Fred Well, and
maybe that was the case. Thatwas like with you. I'm with you,
though, Freddy got you not seethe bus or hear the but way
(20:17):
you gotta be on planet I don'tknow what if you can't recognize that a
bus that was that In fact,at one point in the ditch, right,
the bus was actually in the ditchthat was there. Yes, the
bus was actually in the ditch atone point, and you don't realize that
the bus was being moved. Didhe go for a coffee break and he
go for you know, coffee anddonut somewhere and then came back and and
(20:41):
just did jumped into the shot?I mean, how do you not know
that? How do you not hearthat, see that, feel that,
know that the bus is not thereanymore? How do you not, at
the very least before you start talking, look over your shoulder and go,
oh, the bus is gone.How do you not do that? That
was sort of every time about DickShoemaker and the little girl in Orange County.
(21:06):
I mean, these were the glorydays. Way at the beginning of
the eighties had a reporter named DickShoemaker. Now, back in the day
shoe yeah, okay, right,not Willard shoe Craft. This was Dick
Shoemaker, okay. And back inthe day television news on the weekends at
night, you didn't even have areporter assigned. You had somebody on call.
(21:30):
So if something happened, you'd callthe person because they were on call.
They'd have to go cover it.But more often than not, they
just kind of regurgitated nothing and justfilled the thirty minutes. So it's a
Saturday night and a little girl ismissing an Orange County. They called Dick
Shoemaker. Now he's up in thevalley. He's got to get to Orange
(21:52):
County and cover the story. Sohe was on call. He was sort
of like a doctor, except whena doctor's on call, he probably doesn't
drink just in case he's going tobe called in. You think you think
that would be part of the manualif you're on call. These are the
steps. These are the things todos and the don'ts. If you're a
doctor on call, you're probably notsitting in Foreman's on Riverside Boulevard tossing him
(22:18):
back right because you're on call.Yes, you know, that's your night.
So this was Dick's night. ButDick didn't really adhere to the I'm
not going to drink when I'm oncall rule. So how he got to
Orange County, I have no ideahow he even made it down there,
but he got there, and heshowed up and they told him, all
(22:41):
right, you're going to do alive shot at eleven o'clock. Now he
is three sheets to the wind.I mean, he is just a total
mess. And they're they're trying tofind a little girl who was gone missing
an Orange Excuse me for a second, Frank, that's because that's a that's
an old school reference, Three sheetsthe win. Where did that come from?
(23:02):
Hey, you hear that in theold movies, you know, Humphrey
Bogarten movies. And oh cool,Oh that guy's three sheets to the wind.
Where did that come from? Andwhat does that mean? I don't
know. All I know is you'redrunk, that's all I know you're drunk
if you're three sheets to the wind. Where three sheets to the wind comes
from? So I just looked itup Rodney. According to dictionary dot com,
(23:22):
he says, the sheet is theline that controls the sails on the
ship. If the line is notsecure at the sail flops in the wind
and the ship loses head away andcontrol. If all three sails are loose,
the ship is out of control.So three sheets to the winds all
three of them, then you're outof control. Okay, So that's what
he wants, got you? Okay, thanks, Kevin. I had no
idea what that meant. He getsdown there and he sets up in front
(23:45):
of the camera and they tossed tohim and they go A little girl is
missing an Orange County and Dick Shoemakeris live on the scene forse Dick and
he comes on and he goes,that's right, a little girl gone missing
in Orange County. And next tome, I have I guess the sheriff
(24:11):
or somebody the police. I havethe the police investigating this. Can you
please come in? Guy walks in. He goes, all right, what
was the little girl wearing? Andhe said, well, you know,
she had a jumper on or maybeit was plaid, you know, talked
about her age and exactly what shewas wearing. Schumacher looks at him and
(24:34):
says, thank you. What wasthe little girl wearing? He just asked
that this as well, you know, she had a jumper on and talked
about her age and this or that. He goes, thank you, if
anyone has seen this girl, thisis what you do. Please put the
(24:56):
number on the screen. Okay,So now they we call it super they
super it, chir on it.They put the number on the screen and
he goes, all right, callthis number eight hundred six three one one.
(25:17):
They take the number down. Theytake the number down. Oh no,
So now he says, please putthe number back on the screen.
They put the number back on thescreen. This time he gets through it.
Now it is abundantly clear that Dickprobably isn't in the best frame of
mind right now as he is deliveringthis information. You can pretty much sense
(25:41):
that right You can feel it onthe TV, you can watching it.
You can see and sense it andfeel it that he is he's struggling through
this. Well. When he asksthe law enforcement official what the little girl
was wearing, there's a response,and then he asked the exact same question
and gets the same response. Youknow that there's something off here. When
(26:03):
he can't remember the number that wason the screen that insists they put it
back on. You know there's aproblem. But now he has finished his
report, thank god, he throwsit back to the studio. Rodney.
If you're in the studio and you'rewatching this, you can obviously tell that
(26:26):
he is a bit inebreated. Yeah, feeling no pain right now? Right?
What would you do? Rodney?I've just stumbled my way through it.
It's over. We've got the information. Rodney. Back to you,
what would you do? You moveon? Wouldn't you move on? Thanks?
Thanks for that report, Dick.Let's hope we get the little girl
(26:47):
home safe. Right. Oh,and another news tonight. Well blah blah
blah. Okay, here's what CynthiaAllison, who was angry, did.
Here's what she did, all right, Cynthia, back to you. This
is what she does? Uh,Dick, what was the little girl wearing
again? Stop it? What wasthe little girl wearing again? No?
(27:11):
Dick turns and goes, uh,can you please come back in the law
enforcement official walks back in and Dickasked this question for the third time.
What was the little girl wearing?She me she did. She asked him
a question he obviously couldn't speak yet. She asked him a question that and
(27:40):
the Joe Rico bus ditch story weretwo of my favorites. I'll give you
two more. You want to heartwo more? I do. I do.
This is riveting stuff and so Iwant to know, though, how
did he and Cynthia get along?Because it's on the surface of it,
it feels like maybe maybe Cynthia hadthe something you know against what was the
(28:07):
name Joe Fred No, this wasDick Shoemaker. Dick. Maybe I had
something against Dick and was trying tobury him on television. You know what,
this guy has been nearing me thennow I'm gonna give it to him.
Okay, Dick, what was thegirl wearing? Again? I make
it look bad. I think shewas just trying to come up with something
to say, come up with somethingto say. One time I'm sitting on
(28:32):
the set. I think I've toldyou this, and this is really early
on when I'm doing the weekends,I'm saying I'm just a wise ass.
Then you know, I'm a kid. I'm a kid doing it, So
you can imagine. Now at leastI have some I don't know filter,
not much of one, but thenI had none. I'm like twenty three
(28:52):
years old, sitting there on LATV, right, just goofing off. So
she comes on one day and herhair looks like it had been the Abraham
Lincoln stove stove pipe hat hair.You know what that big giant has,
big top eddie he used to wear. Yes, you know, and imagine

in the day, there wasn't alot of chat. Well, actually there
was never a lot of chat.I would chat because I would just get
bored and start saying things and wouldn'tcare. But so they would always say,
(30:00):

you take those outs? Oh god, she was this is smart ass.
Oh my god, that was likethe day Moyer. All right, should

That was what I thought. Ithink I've told you this. That was
(31:33):
the day Paul Moyer wore the darkmakeup. The dark makeup story. So
I go into the makeup room andI look at the screen, because I'd
go in there like ten minutes beforeI'd go on right, so I can
see the show and Moyer sitting here. And I said to Laurie, who
(31:53):
was our makeup artist, who lovedher for years, Just love Laurie.
She's great. I said, whatthe hell happened to look at him?
He looks black? He looks black. How could you send him out there
like that? What happened? Andshe said, well, he came in
(32:15):
and he said he wanted to bereally dark today. I said dark,
that's not that's not dark, that'snot tan. I mean, he looks
like Nipsey Russell. So so shegoes, I don't know, that's the
way he looked. That's what hewanted. So I go back out there.
(32:37):
And so now I go out thereand I sit down on the set,
go to the break. Now I'msitting there. So he's doing what
he does, going through his papersand being Paul Moyer. Now I don't
know why he's looking at papers,because he never read him anyway. But
anyways, going through them, andhe finally looks over at me, and
he sees me staring at him.It just, what's the matter matter with
(33:00):
you? I said, what thehell is wrong with you? What the
hell is wrong with you? Lookat yourself? You said that to him?
Like that? Yeah, just likethat? Yeah, what the hell
is wrong with you? Look atyourself? Oh God, why did you
do that? I just wanted tobe darker today. I thought it would
look good. Oh I really looktan? I said, you don't look
(33:22):
tan. You don't even look real. What do they guys should do?
Well, you should take it off. Well, I've already been on forty
five minutes like this, and wego on, and we go on.
Now now we're on. Okay,here we go. It's my turn.
I just looked at him and startedlaughing. I'm laughing on the air.
(33:45):
I never say why, but I'msure the viewers pretty much understood, and
no one had the courage to tellthem. Wait, was it that obvious,
though, friend? Was it reallythat obvious? Rodney? I don't
want to be offensive. I don'twant to be You have a license,
go ahead, I give you permission. Fine, He looked like you.
(34:07):
He looked like you. Do youthink that was obvious, Rodney? You
think in the least a little bit. That seemed a little bit of a
little bit, a little bit,a little bit like everyone was afraid to
say anything to him. Nobody wouldsay anything to him. I didn't care,
(34:27):
clown. What are you doing?He looked like Kramer in that Seinfeld
episode. It's like, what wouldpossess you to do that? What?
A little darker? Yeah? Ijust go a little bit darker today,
Yeah, a little bit darker.Oh my god. Yeah, So how
did it end up? Back?Going back to Cynthia though, Freda?
(34:51):
So anyway, So Cynthia, thiswas her classic moment. This was her
classic moment. So a little girlapparently, and it wasn't funny. A
little girl was struck by lightning.She's okay, by the way, Oh
okay, So they send Cynthia down. She's going to do a live shot.
(35:13):
She's gonna do a live shot.Well, obviously you can't go into
the hospital where the little girl is. But for whatever reason, they decided
to be about nine hundred yards fromthe hospital, right, they took it
with the opposite in the spectrum,right, further from the hospital. So
(35:34):
in the background you see the hospital. The shots at night, so it's
dark, but you can see lightson in the rooms, right There are
lights in the rooms. I seethem. So she's standing out there and
she goes, Okay, listen,I'm out here. And the little girl
was struck by lightning. And asyou see behind me, you can see
(35:55):
her room. Well first know youcouldn't because there's like one hundred rooms with
lights on. And she kind oflooks over her shoulder and gives that O
man nor she is, and shesays, I don't know if if you
know what it's like to be hitby lightning. But when you get hit,
when you get hit by lightning,you have millions and billions and zillions
(36:24):
of electricity shot through you. Millionsand billions and zillions of electricity shot through
you. And the little girl andshe looks up over her shoulder, Chad
at this building, which is likenine hundred yards away, is in that
(36:45):
room. And she said, Ithink now all we can do is pres
Oh my god, terrible millions andbillions and zillions of electricity of electricity,
(37:08):

somebody's balls to it. They wereready for you. What what are you
(37:31):
looking at? What's wrong? LikeBoyer did to you? What? So
the one time that people lost iton the set, they started laughing,
But I wasn't on I wasn't onthe set. I was like one of
those laughters that you can't stop laughing, like you just can't write. And
and by the way, I wasa perpetrator. But once they started,
(37:54):
they couldn't stop. No, itwasn't the far machine. Uh So I
was the perpetrator of this. AndI'm sitting off on the side. You
can't see me and you can't hearme, but they can't stop laughing.
They just can't stop laughing. Showsover, shows over. Go home next

(39:55):
Today's afternoon delight is add up Mylove, Bye Claire. This song
is one of eleven tracks that appearson the Alana NATO's new album, entitled

twenty five year old said that muchof her influence for this album came from
(40:19):
a recent move to upstate New York, where she says she gained a newfound
appreciation for solitude again. Today's afternoondelight is add Up My Love by Claire.
All right, next hour, DavidVasso jump on and then we'll take
your calls. Panic meter time?Is it panic meter for the dollar?
(40:43):
I say absolutely positively, not noteven close. But we will take your
calls next hour and get into that. All right. So Argentina won the
Copa last night. It was inMiami. Great match, goes into overtime,
Argentina scores late, Messi gets hurt. They had to delay the start
of the game forty five minutes.Why is that, Fred, Because people
(41:06):
were storming the stadium, because theywere afraid for the safety of the players,
because for whatever reason, the wayyou were getting into the stadium,
the lines were so long and itwas taking so much time that people started
to storm the entrances to the stadium. We don't have that kind of time,
Fred. Games. Getting ready startthe match is getting ready? Start.
(41:29):
I gotta get in there. Let'sjust go. Well that's kind of
what happened. Oh that vent isopen, I can fit in there.
Let's go. And that's what theywere. And then there were people were
would no tickets. Try to getif you get a chance, please yeah,
either google that or YouTube that it'sgot. It's crazy where these people
are trying to get into the stayare not trying but getting into the stadium.
(41:50):
Like you said, Ken, climbingthrough the vent areas, climbing through
little crevices in the stadium. Hardrock will never be the same time.
Do you guys see that one heavyset guy that was trying to get over
the wall, I mean and tryingand trying. Everybody else hopping over that
wall, but that that one guynobody gave him as for every man for
himself. It was it was nuts. I mean it was absolutely nuts.
(42:14):
Rodney. You've been to the SuperBowl, are you pours you did?
I've been to every major sporting manin the world, and I will tell
you it is difficult to get intothose things. With the security and the
checkpoints, Olympics, World Cup,anything like that, It's very hard to
get in. Uh, and you'vegot to wait in line for a good
(42:36):
period of time to get in.Yes, yes you do. And I
especially the one Zack you said fedfor something like this, the super Bowl,
World Cup, you know, gameseven of a World Series. I
mean those big events is big time, one day type of events. Security
is off to change. I remembergoing to the Super Bowl in Minnesota when
they had it up there. Itwas Philadelphia and New England played that Super
(42:58):
Bowl in Minnesota every week for yearsor so. They have it in the
northern city. They made everyone standoutside. It took probably thirty minutes,
not just getting to the state.I'm talking about thirty minutes from the time
you got to the first checkpoint toshow your ticket or to go through security.
Took thirty minutes to get inside thestate. And it was minus four
(43:21):
degrees outside. It was crazy andit didn't matter who you were at that
point unless you had one of thespecial passes that went under the stadium,
you know, and you could parkunderneath the stadium to get in. Other
than that, it was it wasa who's who out there trying to get
into these entrances of the stadium thatthey made you get into. So for
this to happen, and I sawa couple of them, it looked like
(43:44):
there was no security. I sawa few where there's a couple of security
guards that just stay this is,this is training session. Now I'm just
gonna go track down a few guysand start beating on them. And it
was I saw a couple of guys. They were chase these guys that got
in. It was it was seriouslylike they were like picking off and like,
(44:05):
okay, yeah, this guy's prettylittle, I can get him.
I can take him. And theywould go chase the guy down, jump
on him, restrain him, andjust rough him up a little bit,
and then you know, they'd handcuffhim and they go find the next guy.
But there are certain people that theydidn't want to mess with. But
it just I don't know how howhow because you're right, there's there's usually
(44:27):
there's more than enough security and thingslike this, especially knowing this is a
global thing, this is a Northand South American thing. You have people
come from different countries that you know, you just don't know what can happen.
Extra precautions should have been taking place. If they weren't, that's shame
on them. But I would haveto believe that they were. And for
this to still go down. Anddid you see the damage the hard rock?
(44:51):
Did you see the damage to thestadium they tore up, like escalators
and elevators and stairways and everything.It's just a mess. And that season
getting ready to start here in acouple of months. Uh. The shot
I remember is you see this seaof people and all of a sudden,
coming down the road, there arepolice cars, lights flashing like those white
(45:15):
police cars that were rushing in asquickly as they could. They took the
players off the field during warm ups. They were afraid of what might happen.
They took them off the field.The one that stood out for me,
to Rodney's point was the tabout securityguards jumping in getting where they can
get so one of the barricades wastorn down. There was a couple of
security guards with like the orange shirts. They backed up and said, I
(45:37):
won't get paid enough for this.I'm gonna let the cops worry about this
one. Y'all go do what y'allgotta do. I'm good. That's the
one that stood out to me.You're not paying me enough to go and
get in this crowd and try tostop somebody from getting into this match.
It was nuts and then when it'sall said and done, Argentina wins.
(45:59):
So one of the player us fromColumbia was what the player of the match
or the player of the tournament.He won the big award. He was
like the m v P on thelosing team. They announced it. He's
standing right there, walked out,got his trophy, waived and then walked
back. Unlike Connor McDavid during theStanley Cup finals. I was coming.
(46:22):
It's because he's his place for EdmontonRodney. Yes, I know, else
classy move. He didn't want totake He didn't want to take attention away
from the home crowd. That's whyhe didn't accept the award there. But
yeah, that's kind of mcconnor McDavid. Yeah what a idiot, what a
yeah, this guy's typical sport.Let me tell you the difference. Let
(46:46):
me tell you the difference. Dowe have time to tell the difference now,
Kevin or should we do it later. Let's do it later, so
Vastie doesn't yell at me. Allright, all right, we don't have
assay to yell, but I willtell you the difference between Connor McDavid and
the player like night and the differencein the mentality from those who play soccer
to those who don't. We'll dothat when we come back. All right,
