Speaker 1 (00:03):
All right, we continue on Fred Rogan, Rodney peat on
La Sports Rodney. Yes, sir, I told you the United
States would be okay against Serbia. You did, you did?
You had no panic in your voice at all. No,
down thirteen in the fourth quarter, right, yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
And and on the other side of momentum as well,
they can't they couldn't lose.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Of course, anything can happen, but let's just be serious.
They can't lose. They can't lose.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
And that that's what it felt like, Fred, down to
stretch to the last five minutes of that game. It
was like, there is no way we're losing. Every one
of them. It's like, there's no way we're losing this game.
And they wield it, you know, from Steph to Lebron
and Joel Embiid was great, Drew Holiday on the court
most of that time too. It was like even for them,
(01:00):
they felt like, you, there's no way we're gonna lose.
I don't care how far were down, We're not gonna lose.
It's like this, what the hell are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah? Yeah, what are we doing? Come on?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Okay, ready, you guys, ready, you ready, Let's get to work. Yeah,
let's split this thing off.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, what the hell are we doing? All right? So
the United States advances to the gold medal game. Now
let's bring on someone I've known since they were almost
an embryo. Whoa, that's how long I've known Jose Mota.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Hello, Jose, I'm a young man.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
If that's the case. Fred Freddy had me come in
and watch everybody work KNBC four burd Banks late night.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
I was assuming the minor leagues. By the way, Rodney,
He's like, I want you to show show you everything
that everybody does, so when you mess up, they'll cover
you if they mess up. You know who messed up.
But the same thing is this is your team. Thank
you for a lesson, mister fred Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Wow, so you're getting the ropes early from mister Rogan
when you were still playing in the minor league.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Well, he knows that I couldn't wait around, man. I
had to get you know, decided at some point at
thirty three years old, I'm going to keep playing. I'm
going to go into media, and you know, luckily I
run to feel like himself.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Well, you've made a career out of it, and you've
done really well. Jose, we're proud of you. Let me
ask you a question. Is a guy that play, what'd
you think of that call last night at third base?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Bad?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Bad?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Thank you and sums it up in one word.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yes, Hey, let me tell you something. We have to
interpret the rule the right way I understand it. To
do that, you also have to be in a better
position to make a call. I can understand where somebody
intentionally is the blacking a base which happened a lot.
Believe me, it does. It happened a lot, and I'm
glad they did something about it. But you have to
(02:47):
be able to say, hey, you know what Ross was
taking the throw? He was dis minifitted in front of
the back. The play continues, and don't get in the
way of the game. I mean, that's a crucial play
that you don't want to see that decided World Series
championship or a playoff. Well, that cannot happen. So and
then the next thing is it needs to be reviewable.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Thank you, thank you. That's what I said.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I was.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I was like, if we got technology in twenty twenty four,
if we're going to implement replay into sports, then it
can't just be a I only can pick a couple
of ways I can review. Everything should be reviewable. And
I'm not saying you got to go review every single play.
You still have the same number of reviews and if
you miss it, you lose your challenges. But every play
(03:35):
should be able to be reviewed. It's ridiculous that they
don't have it that way. And believe me, because there's
so many controversies in.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Sports, and listen, I make a purposely. I visit the
umpires of every series, so I know a lot of
these essons. I was playing baseball and some of them
works in the academy when I met them and they,
let me tell you, they want to get it right. Okay,
they welcome everything that Basil thrown out them. Yeah, the
human aspect of it. We're getting the way. Sometimes I
(04:03):
miss manages arguing I missed that. No, I'm like, yeah,
we would Lupinella be doing right now in this age
or Sparky or Tommy.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
It's like I missed that, doesn't taken away. Okay, got it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
But mpires want to get it right. But some of
them need to understand that there's times in which you
cannot allow the technology to be the forefront under your
mind to say I'm going to make this call because
if I see it, oh there it is done. But
let me tell you something, guys. I was a middle
of theffielder and I was not a stellar big league player.
I got turned out my cup of coffee. But it
(04:40):
was so disheartening when you had a base stolen and
somebody dropped a knee on you, or you have stolen
somebody had put their foot down and there's no call. Hey,
you reach out and you reach your foot or a
calf or a knee and you tag it, You're out.
I don't think that was fair either, you know. So
there's gonna be about, you know, a fine line there
(05:02):
where you have to see intense and let me tell
you there was intent. And you know what, who was
one of the best at him, Chase Utley. Chase Utley.
He would drop a knee on you. And there's so
many guys who will say, I'm going to go spike
high on you and I'm going to cut you up.
Eric all right, boy with the Angels did the same thing.
And I would have a visiting players. Tell me, and
only is your friend, tell him next time he does that,
(05:23):
I will come in spikes high and get him, Jose Mota,
it was a part of the game, my friends that
they're trying to clean up, and you know, avoute injuries.
But there's got to be a fine line there.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
And on time you said that too, you.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Said, going back to Loop Penella and Sparky and Tommy
and Billy Martin and Earl Weaver and those guys.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
You know you gotta let them.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
You know, at the very least, Dave Roberts got one
step onto the field and he's telling him to back.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Off, go back, go back, go back.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
At the very least, doesn't he the manager deserve an
explanation or at least have a converse station with you.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
It's just it's so sensitive nowadays. Jose, I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
And he had his arms out like don't I'm in
a stick farmer, don't come out. There's no explanation the
rules of the rule.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
What if the manager says something a magic word, a phrase,
right that just clicks with you and go you know what,
I haven't thought of that. Okay, I can't change this
one now, but next time I will be more aware
of this and remember, and I know Hunter Windelson and
his father when I was a bad boy. Okay, but
this is the family that runs a baseball school, and
(06:35):
I would think that one of the umpires coming up
through the ranks to get things right and understand that
the evolution of technology. Also there's a human aspect in
which you got to decide game of a line. Was
he really trying to block? Yes, you know what the
rules of the rule, I'm protecting them. But there's a
couple this year where you go, there's absolutely no way
(06:55):
with a foot in front of a bag a third
of the bag. The guy still had two thursands of
as you cannot call yes about that.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Still at my point on top of my lefting on.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Hunter, which you know Hunter was the guy that also
tossed Aaron Boone. Yeah when when a fan was young.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yes, I remember that that was him. So I remember
that happening, but I didn't know that was him.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Wow, that was him. So in other words, like a Tondert,
come on, get you know you're you're a good dude.
You've been around the game for two generations. Now there's
some things that need to change. You've gotta be more
open mind than about and that can that can happen
they do a good job. You know, they're challenging so
many ways, but things being need to get a little cleaner.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Jose Mota does the Dodger Spanish broadcast, a contributor to
Dodger Talk with David Vasse. All right, so I told
Rodney what happened, because there's a guy that at one
time wanted to be an umpire and did just a
little bit when I was younger. Here's what happened. He
had no idea the context of the moment. He was
in position, the throw came, he looked down, He looked
(07:55):
down and he saw Mickey Rojas's foot. That's exactly what happened.
He did know what was surrounding it at that moment.
If you just watch him, he's standing there and he
looks down. That's what he saw. Now that Rojas is moving,
that the throws a bit errant, that he's trying to
just grab his balance, that there's no way he's intentionally
blocking anything, None of that matter, None of that mattered.
(08:16):
He looked down, saw the foot out of context. Boom obstruction.
That's what happens.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
That's a weird such a weird play because he did
you notice, also notice the bubble pump from Kik. Yes,
what if kick gets rid of the ball quickly? That
ball gets there and sug tag You're done. There's no
talk about this, right, but all these things went into it, right,
so we have to be aware every single goes into
place like this to get it right.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Okay, right and go ahead, no ahead, just say.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Not with all this, the Doggers need to play better life.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, it's getting
a little uh little tight. Now all right, when Mooki
comes back hill bat second, show hey otanio bat first?
Uh does that mean anything? Does it mean something? What
does it mean?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
The biggest adjustment will be on Moki and he openly
talked about it, where he's so used to just leading
off and knowing that he's going to be the guy
setting the tone. But for now, what it means mostly
is for other bullpen on my matchups right or starting
pitcher matchup lefty righty.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Thing.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Now you broke up the lefties, okay with Showy and Freddy.
Now you have Mokey in the middle, and they becomes
a little more challenging for the other manager. They've become
more balanced. With the Dodgers, you can go out there
and stretch the line up a little bit more. That's
all it means, Sho. He's not going to change anything.
Mokey's not going to change anything. It's not like Muk's
going to be taking pictures so Showy can run. It
shouldn't be that way. You want your sluggers to do
(09:39):
what they do and the guy's in the bottom to
worry about those other little things. But it's not going
to change a whole up. But it's going to get
the Dodgers way more options and seeing who comes in
from a bullpen and a decision getting made by a
manager yes or no. Because now I cannot just say
automatic Lefty, here's show Hey, and here it's Freddy, and
when I get past a little more, there's Macpuncy. It's
(10:00):
going to be more challenging for the pusy manager.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
But I said this, Jose, I said that, uh maybe,
And there's a lot that goes into this, right, I'm
sure that anybody lost sleep, But there was a lot
of thought going into what happens when MOOKI comes back?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
What do we do uh for? For?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
For me, I was I kind of leaned towards they
they didn't want to immediately put Mookie back in the
lead off spot, especially because Joe Hay has done so
well at it. If Mooki comes back from being off
a month, it's it's natural for him to not come
back and be hot as he was before he got hurt.
So there's gonna be a kind of a relearning curve
(10:43):
to it. And if he struggles, and if they put
him at at lead off and he struggles a little
bit for a week or so, then it's going to
be like, oh see, we should have never did it.
Why did we do this? Why did we put him there?
It just it doesn't work, and let's go back. And
now it's more of a it. It becomes more a
mental thing. I think that they're going to allow the
(11:04):
next say, you know, twenty to twenty five days go by.
How many games that is, I don't know, and see
how Mooki responds now that he's best And if he
does respond well and kind of gets back to form,
there's a good chance that he goes back and leads
off again. Jose quick correct me. Most of your career,
(11:25):
where did you hit in the lineup? Were your leadoff
guys that.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
First first a second. First, A second was I love
batt A second. Second was my favorite.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
You love batting second.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
See a lot of guys like batting first, and you
hear him because they think that you know, you're gonna
get better pitches as a leadoff guy, which in you know,
certain respects you do.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
What made you like second more than first?
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Controlling the controlling the offense and working with a guy
in front of me to say we have something on
this guy. Okay, here's what I'm gonna do. We can
do so many options. I mean, I'm gonna take.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
A pitch for you.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
If you want to run, I'll And this is what
you know, you predetermine the say hey if I if
you get on, I'm going to take a strike until
you run. Right if if or I would say, hey,
this guy's first pitch, fastball, I'm going to jump on him.
So I'm going to leave, you know, leave that hole
and for in first second, I will try to pull
it that way so you have something the conference to
(12:16):
work with you guys. And then the other thing that
is a misconception here is people think that because you're
adding second, and even if you're a slap guy like
I was, and punch intuity. Guy, you're gonna get automatic fastballs.
It does not happen that way, Okay, it just doesn't.
I remember there's a time in which Howie Kendricks with
the Angels, he's hitting fifty sixth and he's just hitting
three thirty and and he's and people are like, you,
(12:37):
imagine how we hit second? Oh my god, here three sixty.
Guess what they moved to number two? Slider, sladder, slider slider.
It was not the same. You are who you are
as a hitter, and teams are not going to change
a whole lot for you. The biggest threat is somebody
like a Ricky Henderson can go you know what, I
want to get this guy out. My only chance it's
more fastballs and some catch some catchers. Catchers will do it,
(12:58):
but batting's I can gives you so many actions. Now,
that was my style of the game. Much is a
different guy. Moke is gonna say, hey, if I say
something show, if you're going I have to swaying man,
I mean I can drive you in for first base.
And those are all little things that need to be
taken into consideration. And then you know, to compliment your
point on show Hey, if you think about the way
(13:19):
base was managed today and how lineups are constructed, you
think about so many guys like an Aaron Judge, so
many great hitters batting second. And the reason is in
all time baseball was like, Hey, I want my best
hitter batty third, and I want my power guy heading
four and five. Right now, it's I want when that
lineup turns around, my best hitters to hit one more time.
(13:41):
And that's why at this point I say Show, he
is a better artion than muk. You're eating off because
Show has been in the action for the entire season.
Mooki has not. And if the lineup is gonna have
one more swaying, you wanted to be a guy like
Shoehill thought, who's been in the groove, in the rhythm
and leading the league in hitting by the way all
season long, and not a guy that's it out for
so many weeks.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, holding, I got one more quick story before we
let you go. Man, I don't know if you remember this, Man,
I don't think I ever told you this. When you
were at Bulletin. Man, we we uh we played you,
and I think I was a freshman at the time
a little bit yeah, you did.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
So I was.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I was a freshman and uh, Rod Dade, the Great
Rod Dado was our coach. Tiger moved them puppies, baby.
So I'm he was crazy because he put he would
beat guys like you know, Steve Finley and and Fred
Land in the lineup when we go go to the game.
He put the lineup card up on the thing and
(14:43):
tape it up, and you guys played in the seventies
and eighties, and and uh, I thought it was a joke,
but they then they told me it was serious because
he would believe that and have to scratch it out.
And this is people would be waiting for him to
to say, ah, jokes on you guys, and he would
never do it. And Danny Brown, art assistant coach, had
the but change it. But nonetheless, Jose got me. Fred
(15:04):
Jose got me. So I'm I'm wide eyed as a
freshman and coming and excited this to be playing my
freshman year in baseball. I'm I'm doing pretty well. I'm
hitting the ball pretty well. My freshman year kind of
got used to it. And we play them and I'm
on first base, just hit a single and I got
(15:26):
the steal sign so I'm stealing, and and when you're stealing,
you're supposed to look in on your third step to
make sure it's a not a line drive or fly
ball or whatever. The ball he tried to pick up
the ball. Well, I didn't do that, Freddy. I just
had my head down and I'm stealing second base. I'm gone,
and our guy pops it up to the outfield and
(15:52):
Jose does the old deep move where he's acting like
it was a ground ball, and they're turning to that
second base. So I see the action of him, you know,
going through the motions of turning the double play, which
which to me is like, okay, I gotta I gotta
get the second base and beat the throne and beat
you out. Meanwhile, it's a pop up. I need to
(16:13):
be going back to first base. So I slide in
the second and I'm looking around and I and then
I finally noticed there's no ball. No ball, and the
guy and the balls being thrown back to first base,
and I get doubled up and I I was the
one that made the mistake. But Jose, I was so
mad at you for such a long time, like.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
In the white lines and there's no amos, my friend,
you got to getting out, getting.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Out, that was great. I never got caught again.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Hey, I believe they got me a couple of times
like that too. That's where you learned, you go. Oh,
that's how it feels. I'm gonna get somebody.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Uhose, thanks for doing this today, man, thanks for coming on,
and it's great to catch up with you. Oh my friends,
you two are good friend Jose Mota. When we come back,
a special treat, A special treat just for you when
we come back.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Oh yeah, come on throw back Thursday, baby, Roddy, bet
Frent Rogan, come on now, come on.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
All right, are you ready for the special treat? Rodney?
Do you want the special treat?
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I want it? Freddy? I won't, I won't. Won't it?
All right? So, earlier we played this clip of Jim
Harbaugh and it is AI generated. It is not real.
On Instagram, you can find these I don't know who
does them. They are hilarious and they're AI. So the
(17:56):
body's AI. They look real, the voice sounds real, and
it's basically stuff that you can't believe what these people
are saying. So Jim Harbaugh was basically saying the NCAA
is a complete joke, but it was really funny. So
as I was looking through this and I sent it
to you and Kevin, I found one with Caitlin Clark
(18:18):
and Jalen Brown. Now this is not real. Yeah, I
can't say that enough. It's not real, but if you
look at it, it looks very real, and when you
listen to it, it sounds very real. So we're gonna
let you you hear this one now. Caitlin Clark and
(18:38):
Jalen Brown.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
Hey, Jayleen, did you see a team USA beat Brazil?
Your boy Jason Tatum stank it up again?
Speaker 8 (18:45):
Honestly, Caitlin, I didn't watch the game. I've been binging
my Harry Potter books on my couch and not really
paying attention to the Olympics.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Oh that's great, Jalen. You need a break from basketball,
by the way, you know I love Harry Potter too.
Should hang out in my hot tub and read it together.
What do you think about getting your booty over here?
I'll send my jet.
Speaker 8 (19:06):
Hey, Caitlin, that sounds swell. How long will the jet
take to get here? Which books should I bring?
Speaker 6 (19:10):
It's already on the way. Just get your ass over
here and don't ask questions.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
Oh well, holy crap, that was fast. Didn't even have
time to change anyways. I guess we can read Harry
Potter now that we're in the hot tub.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Yeah, shut up, Jayalen, you know what this is. You
didn't fly all the way to Indiana to read Harry Potter.
Give the white Mambo what she needs?
Speaker 8 (19:33):
What the hell are you doing, Caitlyn Clark? Oh my god,
Mommy helped me.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
You know that's funny. Oh god, don't you you know
that's funny. That is funny. It's come all over and
get a white mama what you need.
Speaker 9 (19:51):
And it sounds just like the monotol cadence, exactly like
Cat and Clark.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
It's crazy.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
You didn't fly all the way to Indiana read Harry Potter.
That is the funniest she needs baby, Oh hilarious. That
is so funny. And that's what's and that's what terrifies
people about AI. Oh does it? Absolutely? Geez? I mean
it can do so many things. There's so many things.
(20:18):
Now I look up and you start questioning everything? Is
that real?
Speaker 7 (20:22):
Like?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You know, you if you stare at.
Speaker 10 (20:25):
Something for thirty seconds, it goes into your algorithm and
you start getting a bunch of things for whatever you
were looking at. So there was these houses, great houses
that you can see around the world.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I was slipping through them.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Going, oh man, this is amazing, amazing, And how they
goes you d I mean, that's ai.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Because I was like, how did they make a cave
and do this room and this cave in the middle
of the in the middle of Lake Como.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
How did they do it?
Speaker 9 (20:52):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
It's generated Jesus. But you really can't tell the difference.
And that's why people are so afraid now, and that's
why the government makes comment and try to regulate it.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
They've already started.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
They've already are they've already started. Because if I'm telling
you just hearing it, you heard it. You didn't see it,
you heard it. It sounds like both of them. Yeah,
and it's matching, like Harball at the podium. It's like
he was really talking.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
I'll play it again so you guys can hear it.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Oh, you gotta get Harrorball again. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
He double a accused me of cheating. So I wanted
to get up here and address it in front of
the entire nation. From the bottom of my khaki colored heart.
I want to say that the offs at the NC
double A can kiss my Harry White ass. You want
to talk about cheating, the NC double A are the
biggest cheaters on earth. For decades, these corrupt hypocrites stole
(21:46):
billions of dollars from underprivileged student athletes. These scumbags don't
have a thing on on Jim Harbaugh other than a
bunch of jealous Ohio State fans. Thank you go Blue
and god less the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
That sounds like him.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Yeah, between yes, all of that, all of that, like
you said, the cadence, everything about it sounds just like him.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
It's really it. It's funny, let's be on, It's truly funny.
But it's also very scary. Yes, and that's why you
have to be really careful with stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, somebody offering you something or telling you you should
buy or use your money for something, to put down
a credit card for this or whatever, and it sounds
like the person that you've been talking to. You know
that they've they've mimicked and they put in I'm sure
they can put in, you know, Jim Harball, give me
I want him to say, this match up last ten
(22:40):
years of him saying big ten or n C double A,
and it just matches up. But because when you watch it,
it looks like it's just naturally coming out of his mouth.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, it really is remarkable. Oh and I don't know
why it reminded me, but I do need to point
this out that. Uh, last night, and it was about
eight forty five, I got another call from the prisoner.
Oh no, what what I did? Now? I could not.
(23:12):
I didn't have the strength. I didn't answer. But I
know that number now, Oh yeah, and I know. Oh
you didn't answer, and then they say you have a
collect call from so and so so on. It's it's
not collect anymore. Oh, it's not no a direct line.
Huh really yeah, it doesn't have to be collect, right, right,
it did, but not anymore. So I did not answer. Oh,
(23:36):
but that must mean that the prisoner was calling to
tell me that the letter is on the way. It's
in the mail and when I get his list of
grievances I will read.
Speaker 8 (23:51):
On the air.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Well, that's why he sent it him to me. He
wants you to get him out right. He the prisoner
wants me to talk about his list of grievances. So
when I get that letter, I'm going to read it.
You would, Yeah, you better call Charlie Mack. All right,
you know what we need to do. We need spirituality first.
Speaker 9 (24:12):
We need to change your name from the dean to
the Wharten.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
That's what it sounds.
Speaker 9 (24:17):
In these prison calls.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Fred the hell with mayor of Kingstown. Right, let's walk.
Come on, Victor Brigg. Vic, good afternoon.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
He's the president of the Gavin Stone fan Club. That Roan.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
That's a low blow. Vic.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Give him time, Fred, that's all we got.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
We got time.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
He's a president of the Sly and the Family Stone
fan Club. Everyday people, Robie.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
People, Damn right, it's a family affair, Vicky.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
M and he's our rock. Kevin fig.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Come on now, sure jumped in a little sooner to
respond to est.
Speaker 9 (25:13):
Yes, so I got cut off, not Vic?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah, well all right, Uh, Vic will continue continue.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Come on now, let's stay a strong, let's fit a strong,
Rodney Fred Rogan, Vic the brick Jacobs.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Hey, let me do this real quick. We've got the
community college report. Yeah, and uh it's spotlights l A
native and former standout NFL receiver, Steve Smith Junior, the
five time Pro Bowl wide out, won the receiving Triple
Crown in two thousand and five, a key contributor in
the Carolina Panthers run to the Super Bowl in two
thousand and three. Prior to his NFL career, Smith Junior
(25:48):
began his collegiate career at Santa Monica College, where he's
head coach. Robert Taylor encouraged him to not play for
riches or notoriety, but to play so that he might
earn a scholarship to a Division I school where he
could receive a better education. Smith took that advice to
heart and never missed a single day of class during
his tenure at the school. Start your future at a
(26:11):
California community college. Financial aid is available to help with tuition, books,
and sometimes even rent. It's time to take the next
big step. You should do that. Classes can fill quickly,
so enrolled today at I can go to college dot com.
And you're never too old to do it. No, you
are not. Remember that you are never too old. By
(26:32):
the way, go back.
Speaker 9 (26:33):
I know Steve still lives in the area works at
NFL Network. It's Steve Smith Senior, not Junior.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Junior.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Is his son.
Speaker 9 (26:39):
I don't want Smith coming after me. That's Fred, though.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
You don't.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Oh did I say Junior? You said it twice?
Speaker 9 (26:44):
And I know that's not what I No, that's not
what it says. It says Senior.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
All right, Rodney knows. I do know, I do know.
You better not piss him off. Fred.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Nope, you know, Okay, talk about your dad. Talk about
your dad. Pound for pound. I don't know if there
was a tougher cat in the league. Yeah, well, Vic,
you know where that leaders too.
Speaker 9 (27:06):
We got a couple more minutes.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Well hell to Ronnie.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Like a rolling stone. Yeah, I'm still a wreck. We
have totally saturated. One of the worst calls in hardball
history by Wendelstat. But what makes it worse is he
has a family umpire royalty, his father, Harry Wendelstat, many
(27:35):
years in the league. I mean, it was an insult
to his family. There was an insult at baseball, and
it was an insult at Dodger fans because remember the
Dodgers had looked up at the scoreboard before, you know,
before the game, before a couple of Arizona diamondback wins.
We got a pen erase everybody that wasn't just again,
you know, some mundane call in the beginning of the season.
(28:01):
You know, we got got a pendent race, y'all.
Speaker 9 (28:03):
I look a vic I know it was a bad call,
but I don't know if he's a disgrace to his family.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Might be.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
That's a disgrace to his family. The windows that family
should really, you know, suck this thing off and say, Hunter,
how dare you make this call? And so we're so obvious,
and Dave Roberts doesn't get thrown out of the game
for no reason. He just wanted some clarity. He got
no clarity, and Window stat you know, just gave him
the heave hole. I would just do this one of
(28:31):
the ugliest calls I've ever say in a baseball game,
you know, be it little league, minor league, major league,
and with so much at stake, and Nicky Roll made
such a spectacular play in that third base it was beautiful.
It was just a sensational play by Mickey Roll. And
to really I robbed the Dodgers. You know, I understand
(28:52):
Swab had the game. You know, forget Swob that call
cost us the game. You know, I can paraphrase Roberts,
that can paraphrase, make you roll, But that call cost
to Dodgers the game. So Windowstad go back to your
your family roofs and really seek some redemption somewhere. He
(29:12):
could be suspended for that call, all right.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
You know they they operate the umpire school. You go
to their umpire school to try to become a major
league umpire.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Well that's a minor la. It's not even a minor
league call.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
That's just a.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
Dave, says a gregious man. How dare your window Staf?
How dare you play? Was right in front of you?
How dare your Windolstad? With the play right in front
of you?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Window Windows.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Made me nuts? Made me nuts? Yes, but of course
it all leads to the source thread. Yes, yeah, and
he gat congratulations or American and surviving Serbia onto the
finals against France and Wama. The French crowd's going to
(30:07):
be going wild for the US of France for the
gold medal. It's going to be a nutty game. But again,
Steph Curry thirty six, Bron James the triple double, embad
excellent run. So congratulations to the American man and Steve Kerr.
(30:28):
That was a tough game man, Everyone wants a piece
of the American hoops is what you.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Know, you would think Steve Kerr is uh, Dave Roberts
the way people are a fire.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Kerr is a horrible coach. He's the worst coach in
the world. What is Kerr doing.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
He's a terrible coach. He's getting it from every angle
on social media.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
It's like, wow, Wow, let's see down seventeen against Serbia.
You come back. That's a good squad man. Although Jason
Taim doesn't get much light, does he?
Speaker 1 (30:57):
No love?
Speaker 5 (30:58):
No love in the city of Lights. It's no light none.
And this high crew for you with some say s
s e I, s e I say hey, they.
Speaker 9 (31:13):
All had a cousin named No say same, my bad.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
All right, it's high cool for you on this Thursday.
Ogus eighth perfect in form and Hugh the five white
petals of plum arranged in order to feeling you.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
There It is there, it is there, it is big.
The wisdom of say all right, Ronnie, thank you, great
work today, Kevin appreciated as always. And Rodney, we're back
to wrap it up tomorrow, right ho
All right, we continue on Fred Rogan, Rodney peat on
La Sports Rodney. Yes, sir, I told you the United
States would be okay against Serbia. You did, you did?
You had no panic in your voice at all. No,
down thirteen in the fourth quarter, right, yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
And and on the other side of momentum as well,
they can't they couldn't lose.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Of course, anything can happen, but let's just be serious.
They can't lose. They can't lose.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
And that that's what it felt like, Fred, down to
stretch to the last five minutes of that game. It
was like, there is no way we're losing. Every one
of them. It's like, there's no way we're losing this game.
And they wield it, you know, from Steph to Lebron
and Joel Embiid was great, Drew Holiday on the court
most of that time too. It was like even for them,
(01:00):
they felt like, you, there's no way we're gonna lose.
I don't care how far were down, We're not gonna lose.
It's like this, what the hell are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah? Yeah, what are we doing? Come on?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Okay, ready, you guys, ready, you ready, Let's get to work. Yeah,
let's split this thing off.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, what the hell are we doing? All right? So
the United States advances to the gold medal game. Now
let's bring on someone I've known since they were almost
an embryo. Whoa, that's how long I've known Jose Mota.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Hello, Jose, I'm a young man.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
If that's the case. Fred Freddy had me come in
and watch everybody work KNBC four burd Banks late night.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
I was assuming the minor leagues. By the way, Rodney,
He's like, I want you to show show you everything
that everybody does, so when you mess up, they'll cover
you if they mess up. You know who messed up.
But the same thing is this is your team. Thank
you for a lesson, mister fred Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Wow, so you're getting the ropes early from mister Rogan
when you were still playing in the minor league.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Well, he knows that I couldn't wait around, man. I
had to get you know, decided at some point at
thirty three years old, I'm going to keep playing. I'm
going to go into media, and you know, luckily I
run to feel like himself.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Well, you've made a career out of it, and you've
done really well. Jose, we're proud of you. Let me
ask you a question. Is a guy that play, what'd
you think of that call last night at third base?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Bad?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Bad?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Thank you and sums it up in one word.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yes, Hey, let me tell you something. We have to
interpret the rule the right way I understand it. To
do that, you also have to be in a better
position to make a call. I can understand where somebody
intentionally is the blacking a base which happened a lot.
Believe me, it does. It happened a lot, and I'm
glad they did something about it. But you have to
(02:47):
be able to say, hey, you know what Ross was
taking the throw? He was dis minifitted in front of
the back. The play continues, and don't get in the
way of the game. I mean, that's a crucial play
that you don't want to see that decided World Series
championship or a playoff. Well, that cannot happen. So and
then the next thing is it needs to be reviewable.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Thank you, thank you. That's what I said.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I was.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I was like, if we got technology in twenty twenty four,
if we're going to implement replay into sports, then it
can't just be a I only can pick a couple
of ways I can review. Everything should be reviewable. And
I'm not saying you got to go review every single play.
You still have the same number of reviews and if
you miss it, you lose your challenges. But every play
(03:35):
should be able to be reviewed. It's ridiculous that they
don't have it that way. And believe me, because there's
so many controversies in.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Sports, and listen, I make a purposely. I visit the
umpires of every series, so I know a lot of
these essons. I was playing baseball and some of them
works in the academy when I met them and they,
let me tell you, they want to get it right. Okay,
they welcome everything that Basil thrown out them. Yeah, the
human aspect of it. We're getting the way. Sometimes I
(04:03):
miss manages arguing I missed that. No, I'm like, yeah,
we would Lupinella be doing right now in this age
or Sparky or Tommy.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
It's like I missed that, doesn't taken away. Okay, got it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
But mpires want to get it right. But some of
them need to understand that there's times in which you
cannot allow the technology to be the forefront under your
mind to say I'm going to make this call because
if I see it, oh there it is done. But
let me tell you something, guys. I was a middle
of theffielder and I was not a stellar big league player.
I got turned out my cup of coffee. But it
(04:40):
was so disheartening when you had a base stolen and
somebody dropped a knee on you, or you have stolen
somebody had put their foot down and there's no call. Hey,
you reach out and you reach your foot or a
calf or a knee and you tag it, You're out.
I don't think that was fair either, you know. So
there's gonna be about, you know, a fine line there
(05:02):
where you have to see intense and let me tell
you there was intent. And you know what, who was
one of the best at him, Chase Utley. Chase Utley.
He would drop a knee on you. And there's so
many guys who will say, I'm going to go spike
high on you and I'm going to cut you up.
Eric all right, boy with the Angels did the same thing.
And I would have a visiting players. Tell me, and
only is your friend, tell him next time he does that,
(05:23):
I will come in spikes high and get him, Jose Mota,
it was a part of the game, my friends that
they're trying to clean up, and you know, avoute injuries.
But there's got to be a fine line there.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
And on time you said that too, you.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Said, going back to Loop Penella and Sparky and Tommy
and Billy Martin and Earl Weaver and those guys.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
You know you gotta let them.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
You know, at the very least, Dave Roberts got one
step onto the field and he's telling him to back.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Off, go back, go back, go back.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
At the very least, doesn't he the manager deserve an
explanation or at least have a converse station with you.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
It's just it's so sensitive nowadays. Jose, I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
And he had his arms out like don't I'm in
a stick farmer, don't come out. There's no explanation the
rules of the rule.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
What if the manager says something a magic word, a phrase,
right that just clicks with you and go you know what,
I haven't thought of that. Okay, I can't change this
one now, but next time I will be more aware
of this and remember, and I know Hunter Windelson and
his father when I was a bad boy. Okay, but
this is the family that runs a baseball school, and
(06:35):
I would think that one of the umpires coming up
through the ranks to get things right and understand that
the evolution of technology. Also there's a human aspect in
which you got to decide game of a line. Was
he really trying to block? Yes, you know what the
rules of the rule, I'm protecting them. But there's a
couple this year where you go, there's absolutely no way
(06:55):
with a foot in front of a bag a third
of the bag. The guy still had two thursands of
as you cannot call yes about that.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Still at my point on top of my lefting on.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Hunter, which you know Hunter was the guy that also
tossed Aaron Boone. Yeah when when a fan was young.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yes, I remember that that was him. So I remember
that happening, but I didn't know that was him.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Wow, that was him. So in other words, like a Tondert,
come on, get you know you're you're a good dude.
You've been around the game for two generations. Now there's
some things that need to change. You've gotta be more
open mind than about and that can that can happen
they do a good job. You know, they're challenging so
many ways, but things being need to get a little cleaner.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Jose Mota does the Dodger Spanish broadcast, a contributor to
Dodger Talk with David Vasse. All right, so I told
Rodney what happened, because there's a guy that at one
time wanted to be an umpire and did just a
little bit when I was younger. Here's what happened. He
had no idea the context of the moment. He was
in position, the throw came, he looked down, He looked
(07:55):
down and he saw Mickey Rojas's foot. That's exactly what happened.
He did know what was surrounding it at that moment.
If you just watch him, he's standing there and he
looks down. That's what he saw. Now that Rojas is moving,
that the throws a bit errant, that he's trying to
just grab his balance, that there's no way he's intentionally
blocking anything, None of that matter, None of that mattered.
(08:16):
He looked down, saw the foot out of context. Boom obstruction.
That's what happens.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
That's a weird such a weird play because he did
you notice, also notice the bubble pump from Kik. Yes,
what if kick gets rid of the ball quickly? That
ball gets there and sug tag You're done. There's no
talk about this, right, but all these things went into it, right,
so we have to be aware every single goes into
place like this to get it right.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Okay, right and go ahead, no ahead, just say.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Not with all this, the Doggers need to play better life.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, it's getting
a little uh little tight. Now all right, when Mooki
comes back hill bat second, show hey otanio bat first?
Uh does that mean anything? Does it mean something? What
does it mean?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
The biggest adjustment will be on Moki and he openly
talked about it, where he's so used to just leading
off and knowing that he's going to be the guy
setting the tone. But for now, what it means mostly
is for other bullpen on my matchups right or starting
pitcher matchup lefty righty.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Thing.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Now you broke up the lefties, okay with Showy and Freddy.
Now you have Mokey in the middle, and they becomes
a little more challenging for the other manager. They've become
more balanced. With the Dodgers, you can go out there
and stretch the line up a little bit more. That's
all it means, Sho. He's not going to change anything.
Mokey's not going to change anything. It's not like Muk's
going to be taking pictures so Showy can run. It
shouldn't be that way. You want your sluggers to do
(09:39):
what they do and the guy's in the bottom to
worry about those other little things. But it's not going
to change a whole up. But it's going to get
the Dodgers way more options and seeing who comes in
from a bullpen and a decision getting made by a
manager yes or no. Because now I cannot just say
automatic Lefty, here's show Hey, and here it's Freddy, and
when I get past a little more, there's Macpuncy. It's
(10:00):
going to be more challenging for the pusy manager.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
But I said this, Jose, I said that, uh maybe,
And there's a lot that goes into this, right, I'm
sure that anybody lost sleep, But there was a lot
of thought going into what happens when MOOKI comes back?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
What do we do uh for? For?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
For me, I was I kind of leaned towards they
they didn't want to immediately put Mookie back in the
lead off spot, especially because Joe Hay has done so
well at it. If Mooki comes back from being off
a month, it's it's natural for him to not come
back and be hot as he was before he got hurt.
So there's gonna be a kind of a relearning curve
(10:43):
to it. And if he struggles, and if they put
him at at lead off and he struggles a little
bit for a week or so, then it's going to
be like, oh see, we should have never did it.
Why did we do this? Why did we put him there?
It just it doesn't work, and let's go back. And
now it's more of a it. It becomes more a
mental thing. I think that they're going to allow the
(11:04):
next say, you know, twenty to twenty five days go by.
How many games that is, I don't know, and see
how Mooki responds now that he's best And if he
does respond well and kind of gets back to form,
there's a good chance that he goes back and leads
off again. Jose quick correct me. Most of your career,
(11:25):
where did you hit in the lineup? Were your leadoff
guys that.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
First first a second. First, A second was I love
batt A second. Second was my favorite.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
You love batting second.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
See a lot of guys like batting first, and you
hear him because they think that you know, you're gonna
get better pitches as a leadoff guy, which in you know,
certain respects you do.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
What made you like second more than first?
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Controlling the controlling the offense and working with a guy
in front of me to say we have something on
this guy. Okay, here's what I'm gonna do. We can
do so many options. I mean, I'm gonna take.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
A pitch for you.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
If you want to run, I'll And this is what
you know, you predetermine the say hey if I if
you get on, I'm going to take a strike until
you run. Right if if or I would say, hey,
this guy's first pitch, fastball, I'm going to jump on him.
So I'm going to leave, you know, leave that hole
and for in first second, I will try to pull
it that way so you have something the conference to
(12:16):
work with you guys. And then the other thing that
is a misconception here is people think that because you're
adding second, and even if you're a slap guy like
I was, and punch intuity. Guy, you're gonna get automatic fastballs.
It does not happen that way, Okay, it just doesn't.
I remember there's a time in which Howie Kendricks with
the Angels, he's hitting fifty sixth and he's just hitting
three thirty and and he's and people are like, you,
(12:37):
imagine how we hit second? Oh my god, here three sixty.
Guess what they moved to number two? Slider, sladder, slider slider.
It was not the same. You are who you are
as a hitter, and teams are not going to change
a whole lot for you. The biggest threat is somebody
like a Ricky Henderson can go you know what, I
want to get this guy out. My only chance it's
more fastballs and some catch some catchers. Catchers will do it,
(12:58):
but batting's I can gives you so many actions. Now,
that was my style of the game. Much is a
different guy. Moke is gonna say, hey, if I say
something show, if you're going I have to swaying man,
I mean I can drive you in for first base.
And those are all little things that need to be
taken into consideration. And then you know, to compliment your
point on show Hey, if you think about the way
(13:19):
base was managed today and how lineups are constructed, you
think about so many guys like an Aaron Judge, so
many great hitters batting second. And the reason is in
all time baseball was like, Hey, I want my best
hitter batty third, and I want my power guy heading
four and five. Right now, it's I want when that
lineup turns around, my best hitters to hit one more time.
(13:41):
And that's why at this point I say Show, he
is a better artion than muk. You're eating off because
Show has been in the action for the entire season.
Mooki has not. And if the lineup is gonna have
one more swaying, you wanted to be a guy like
Shoehill thought, who's been in the groove, in the rhythm
and leading the league in hitting by the way all
season long, and not a guy that's it out for
so many weeks.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, holding, I got one more quick story before we
let you go. Man, I don't know if you remember this, Man,
I don't think I ever told you this. When you
were at Bulletin. Man, we we uh we played you,
and I think I was a freshman at the time
a little bit yeah, you did.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
So I was.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I was a freshman and uh, Rod Dade, the Great
Rod Dado was our coach. Tiger moved them puppies, baby.
So I'm he was crazy because he put he would
beat guys like you know, Steve Finley and and Fred
Land in the lineup when we go go to the game.
He put the lineup card up on the thing and
(14:43):
tape it up, and you guys played in the seventies
and eighties, and and uh, I thought it was a joke,
but they then they told me it was serious because
he would believe that and have to scratch it out.
And this is people would be waiting for him to
to say, ah, jokes on you guys, and he would
never do it. And Danny Brown, art assistant coach, had
the but change it. But nonetheless, Jose got me. Fred
(15:04):
Jose got me. So I'm I'm wide eyed as a
freshman and coming and excited this to be playing my
freshman year in baseball. I'm I'm doing pretty well. I'm
hitting the ball pretty well. My freshman year kind of
got used to it. And we play them and I'm
on first base, just hit a single and I got
(15:26):
the steal sign so I'm stealing, and and when you're stealing,
you're supposed to look in on your third step to
make sure it's a not a line drive or fly
ball or whatever. The ball he tried to pick up
the ball. Well, I didn't do that, Freddy. I just
had my head down and I'm stealing second base. I'm gone,
and our guy pops it up to the outfield and
(15:52):
Jose does the old deep move where he's acting like
it was a ground ball, and they're turning to that
second base. So I see the action of him, you know,
going through the motions of turning the double play, which
which to me is like, okay, I gotta I gotta
get the second base and beat the throne and beat
you out. Meanwhile, it's a pop up. I need to
(16:13):
be going back to first base. So I slide in
the second and I'm looking around and I and then
I finally noticed there's no ball. No ball, and the
guy and the balls being thrown back to first base,
and I get doubled up and I I was the
one that made the mistake. But Jose, I was so
mad at you for such a long time, like.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
In the white lines and there's no amos, my friend,
you got to getting out, getting.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Out, that was great. I never got caught again.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Hey, I believe they got me a couple of times
like that too. That's where you learned, you go. Oh,
that's how it feels. I'm gonna get somebody.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Uhose, thanks for doing this today, man, thanks for coming on,
and it's great to catch up with you. Oh my friends,
you two are good friend Jose Mota. When we come back,
a special treat, A special treat just for you when
we come back.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Oh yeah, come on throw back Thursday, baby, Roddy, bet
Frent Rogan, come on now, come on.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
All right, are you ready for the special treat? Rodney?
Do you want the special treat?
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I want it? Freddy? I won't, I won't. Won't it?
All right? So, earlier we played this clip of Jim
Harbaugh and it is AI generated. It is not real.
On Instagram, you can find these I don't know who
does them. They are hilarious and they're AI. So the
(17:56):
body's AI. They look real, the voice sounds real, and
it's basically stuff that you can't believe what these people
are saying. So Jim Harbaugh was basically saying the NCAA
is a complete joke, but it was really funny. So
as I was looking through this and I sent it
to you and Kevin, I found one with Caitlin Clark
(18:18):
and Jalen Brown. Now this is not real. Yeah, I
can't say that enough. It's not real, but if you
look at it, it looks very real, and when you
listen to it, it sounds very real. So we're gonna
let you you hear this one now. Caitlin Clark and
(18:38):
Jalen Brown.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
Hey, Jayleen, did you see a team USA beat Brazil?
Your boy Jason Tatum stank it up again?
Speaker 8 (18:45):
Honestly, Caitlin, I didn't watch the game. I've been binging
my Harry Potter books on my couch and not really
paying attention to the Olympics.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Oh that's great, Jalen. You need a break from basketball,
by the way, you know I love Harry Potter too.
Should hang out in my hot tub and read it together.
What do you think about getting your booty over here?
I'll send my jet.
Speaker 8 (19:06):
Hey, Caitlin, that sounds swell. How long will the jet
take to get here? Which books should I bring?
Speaker 6 (19:10):
It's already on the way. Just get your ass over
here and don't ask questions.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
Oh well, holy crap, that was fast. Didn't even have
time to change anyways. I guess we can read Harry
Potter now that we're in the hot tub.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Yeah, shut up, Jayalen, you know what this is. You
didn't fly all the way to Indiana to read Harry Potter.
Give the white Mambo what she needs?
Speaker 8 (19:33):
What the hell are you doing, Caitlyn Clark? Oh my god,
Mommy helped me.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
You know that's funny. Oh god, don't you you know
that's funny. That is funny. It's come all over and
get a white mama what you need.
Speaker 9 (19:51):
And it sounds just like the monotol cadence, exactly like
Cat and Clark.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
It's crazy.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
You didn't fly all the way to Indiana read Harry Potter.
That is the funniest she needs baby, Oh hilarious. That
is so funny. And that's what's and that's what terrifies
people about AI. Oh does it? Absolutely? Geez? I mean
it can do so many things. There's so many things.
(20:18):
Now I look up and you start questioning everything? Is
that real?
Speaker 7 (20:22):
Like?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You know, you if you stare at.
Speaker 10 (20:25):
Something for thirty seconds, it goes into your algorithm and
you start getting a bunch of things for whatever you
were looking at. So there was these houses, great houses
that you can see around the world.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I was slipping through them.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Going, oh man, this is amazing, amazing, And how they
goes you d I mean, that's ai.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Because I was like, how did they make a cave
and do this room and this cave in the middle
of the in the middle of Lake Como.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
How did they do it?
Speaker 9 (20:52):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
It's generated Jesus. But you really can't tell the difference.
And that's why people are so afraid now, and that's
why the government makes comment and try to regulate it.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
They've already started.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
They've already are they've already started. Because if I'm telling
you just hearing it, you heard it. You didn't see it,
you heard it. It sounds like both of them. Yeah,
and it's matching, like Harball at the podium. It's like
he was really talking.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
I'll play it again so you guys can hear it.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Oh, you gotta get Harrorball again. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
He double a accused me of cheating. So I wanted
to get up here and address it in front of
the entire nation. From the bottom of my khaki colored heart.
I want to say that the offs at the NC
double A can kiss my Harry White ass. You want
to talk about cheating, the NC double A are the
biggest cheaters on earth. For decades, these corrupt hypocrites stole
(21:46):
billions of dollars from underprivileged student athletes. These scumbags don't
have a thing on on Jim Harbaugh other than a
bunch of jealous Ohio State fans. Thank you go Blue
and god less the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
That sounds like him.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Yeah, between yes, all of that, all of that, like
you said, the cadence, everything about it sounds just like him.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
It's really it. It's funny, let's be on, It's truly funny.
But it's also very scary. Yes, and that's why you
have to be really careful with stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, somebody offering you something or telling you you should
buy or use your money for something, to put down
a credit card for this or whatever, and it sounds
like the person that you've been talking to. You know
that they've they've mimicked and they put in I'm sure
they can put in, you know, Jim Harball, give me
I want him to say, this match up last ten
(22:40):
years of him saying big ten or n C double A,
and it just matches up. But because when you watch it,
it looks like it's just naturally coming out of his mouth.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, it really is remarkable. Oh and I don't know
why it reminded me, but I do need to point
this out that. Uh, last night, and it was about
eight forty five, I got another call from the prisoner.
Oh no, what what I did? Now? I could not.
(23:12):
I didn't have the strength. I didn't answer. But I
know that number now, Oh yeah, and I know. Oh
you didn't answer, and then they say you have a
collect call from so and so so on. It's it's
not collect anymore. Oh, it's not no a direct line.
Huh really yeah, it doesn't have to be collect, right, right,
it did, but not anymore. So I did not answer. Oh,
(23:36):
but that must mean that the prisoner was calling to
tell me that the letter is on the way. It's
in the mail and when I get his list of
grievances I will read.
Speaker 8 (23:51):
On the air.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Well, that's why he sent it him to me. He
wants you to get him out right. He the prisoner
wants me to talk about his list of grievances. So
when I get that letter, I'm going to read it.
You would, Yeah, you better call Charlie Mack. All right,
you know what we need to do. We need spirituality first.
Speaker 9 (24:12):
We need to change your name from the dean to
the Wharten.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
That's what it sounds.
Speaker 9 (24:17):
In these prison calls.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Fred the hell with mayor of Kingstown. Right, let's walk.
Come on, Victor Brigg. Vic, good afternoon.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
He's the president of the Gavin Stone fan Club. That Roan.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
That's a low blow. Vic.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Give him time, Fred, that's all we got.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
We got time.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
He's a president of the Sly and the Family Stone
fan Club. Everyday people, Robie.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
People, Damn right, it's a family affair, Vicky.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
M and he's our rock. Kevin fig.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Come on now, sure jumped in a little sooner to
respond to est.
Speaker 9 (25:13):
Yes, so I got cut off, not Vic?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah, well all right, Uh, Vic will continue continue.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Come on now, let's stay a strong, let's fit a strong,
Rodney Fred Rogan, Vic the brick Jacobs.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Hey, let me do this real quick. We've got the
community college report. Yeah, and uh it's spotlights l A
native and former standout NFL receiver, Steve Smith Junior, the
five time Pro Bowl wide out, won the receiving Triple
Crown in two thousand and five, a key contributor in
the Carolina Panthers run to the Super Bowl in two
thousand and three. Prior to his NFL career, Smith Junior
(25:48):
began his collegiate career at Santa Monica College, where he's
head coach. Robert Taylor encouraged him to not play for
riches or notoriety, but to play so that he might
earn a scholarship to a Division I school where he
could receive a better education. Smith took that advice to
heart and never missed a single day of class during
his tenure at the school. Start your future at a
(26:11):
California community college. Financial aid is available to help with tuition, books,
and sometimes even rent. It's time to take the next
big step. You should do that. Classes can fill quickly,
so enrolled today at I can go to college dot com.
And you're never too old to do it. No, you
are not. Remember that you are never too old. By
(26:32):
the way, go back.
Speaker 9 (26:33):
I know Steve still lives in the area works at
NFL Network. It's Steve Smith Senior, not Junior.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Junior.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Is his son.
Speaker 9 (26:39):
I don't want Smith coming after me. That's Fred, though.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
You don't.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Oh did I say Junior? You said it twice?
Speaker 9 (26:44):
And I know that's not what I No, that's not
what it says. It says Senior.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
All right, Rodney knows. I do know, I do know.
You better not piss him off. Fred.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Nope, you know, Okay, talk about your dad. Talk about
your dad. Pound for pound. I don't know if there
was a tougher cat in the league. Yeah, well, Vic,
you know where that leaders too.
Speaker 9 (27:06):
We got a couple more minutes.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Well hell to Ronnie.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Like a rolling stone. Yeah, I'm still a wreck. We
have totally saturated. One of the worst calls in hardball
history by Wendelstat. But what makes it worse is he
has a family umpire royalty, his father, Harry Wendelstat, many
(27:35):
years in the league. I mean, it was an insult
to his family. There was an insult at baseball, and
it was an insult at Dodger fans because remember the
Dodgers had looked up at the scoreboard before, you know,
before the game, before a couple of Arizona diamondback wins.
We got a pen erase everybody that wasn't just again,
you know, some mundane call in the beginning of the season.
(28:01):
You know, we got got a pendent race, y'all.
Speaker 9 (28:03):
I look a vic I know it was a bad call,
but I don't know if he's a disgrace to his family.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Might be.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
That's a disgrace to his family. The windows that family
should really, you know, suck this thing off and say, Hunter,
how dare you make this call? And so we're so obvious,
and Dave Roberts doesn't get thrown out of the game
for no reason. He just wanted some clarity. He got
no clarity, and Window stat you know, just gave him
the heave hole. I would just do this one of
(28:31):
the ugliest calls I've ever say in a baseball game,
you know, be it little league, minor league, major league,
and with so much at stake, and Nicky Roll made
such a spectacular play in that third base it was beautiful.
It was just a sensational play by Mickey Roll. And
to really I robbed the Dodgers. You know, I understand
(28:52):
Swab had the game. You know, forget Swob that call
cost us the game. You know, I can paraphrase Roberts,
that can paraphrase, make you roll, But that call cost
to Dodgers the game. So Windowstad go back to your
your family roofs and really seek some redemption somewhere. He
(29:12):
could be suspended for that call, all right.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
You know they they operate the umpire school. You go
to their umpire school to try to become a major
league umpire.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Well that's a minor la. It's not even a minor
league call.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
That's just a.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
Dave, says a gregious man. How dare your window Staf?
How dare you play? Was right in front of you?
How dare your Windolstad? With the play right in front
of you?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Window Windows.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Made me nuts? Made me nuts? Yes, but of course
it all leads to the source thread. Yes, yeah, and
he gat congratulations or American and surviving Serbia onto the
finals against France and Wama. The French crowd's going to
(30:07):
be going wild for the US of France for the
gold medal. It's going to be a nutty game. But again,
Steph Curry thirty six, Bron James the triple double, embad
excellent run. So congratulations to the American man and Steve Kerr.
(30:28):
That was a tough game man, Everyone wants a piece
of the American hoops is what you.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Know, you would think Steve Kerr is uh, Dave Roberts
the way people are a fire.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Kerr is a horrible coach. He's the worst coach in
the world. What is Kerr doing.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
He's a terrible coach. He's getting it from every angle
on social media.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
It's like, wow, Wow, let's see down seventeen against Serbia.
You come back. That's a good squad man. Although Jason
Taim doesn't get much light, does he?
Speaker 1 (30:57):
No love?
Speaker 5 (30:58):
No love in the city of Lights. It's no light none.
And this high crew for you with some say s
s e I, s e I say hey, they.
Speaker 9 (31:13):
All had a cousin named No say same, my bad.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
All right, it's high cool for you on this Thursday.
Ogus eighth perfect in form and Hugh the five white
petals of plum arranged in order to feeling you.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
