Speaker 1 (00:00):
Then we continue on Fred Rogan, Jonas Knox and today
for Rodney on five to seventy LA Sports. Later Dodger
fans will up in the phone lines this hour, and
here's your question. What do you need to see to
be completely confident about them in the playoffs right now?
What do you need to see right now? Do you
need to see how'ma moto like he was last night?
(00:22):
Do you need to see Tyler Glass now back and
ready to go? Do you need to see certain people hitting?
What do you need to see to guarantee you are
confident as they head into the playoffs? We will open
the phone lines and do that later on in the hour, now, Jonas,
before the break, First, we never did the USC cannabis story.
(00:43):
I'll make it quick and then I'll tell you the story.
So USC, we talked about NIL, we talked about players
getting paid. They now have a deal with a cannabis
company for NIL. NTAA removed cannabinoids from their banned substances
lists over the summer. USC the first ones to jump
on board. So now they've got a deal with the
(01:04):
accounabis company for NIL.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I mean, listen, as long as it's nothing nefarious and
you know, there's no issues. You know, it's not like
a sitting some nil up with a bookie or a
gambling company or you know, some ped company. You know, listen,
everything's on the up and up, little CBD, little paycheck.
At the end of this whole thing. You got to
twenty two years old, being in college and you're making
(01:29):
one point two million dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
That's sweet, It is sweet. But I actually think that
opened joup. I mean, now you're you're available if you
make bad plays, you make mistakes. I think it open
job for criticism. You're getting paid now you're like a
professional athlete.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, and also from the companies as well too. Am
I getting what I paid for?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I mean, like, you know, why set up a sponsorship
Like we talked about Shack yesterday we lost twenty million
dollars because he jokingly agreed with Kyrie Irving's flat earth theory.
Like if some of these companies out there, like, man, listen,
I'm giving you the X amount of dollars and you're
playing like crap, like can they get out of that?
You know, I'm assuming contracts will be involved. The other
(02:11):
thing as well too, that doesn't get brought up a
lot is the agents who are And I didn't even
know how prevalent this was until I was talking with
Brady Quinn and LeVar Arrington and LeVar had a son
who just committed to Penn State. But in talking to
the recruiting process, like you can get anybody who can
say they're an agent nowadays, who are hitting up these kids,
(02:32):
letting them know, all all represents you, All represents you,
all get you the better deals and all this, and
they've got no like there's no real background being done
on any of this.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
You read in college?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, like register, yeah you do. But like they're getting
in touch with these kids like way early, like some
of them, you know, maybe middle like eighth grade in
high school, like, hey, all represents you, all represents you,
and they're just all And some of these kids are
signing up with bad des in bad deals with these
agents that don't have a reputation or a resume to
(03:06):
back up any of the stuff that they're promising. So
it is problematic, but you know, at least they're getting checks, they're.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Getting paid, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
We talked about teams yanking your credentials. More often than not,
it happens in college if somebody asked a question the
coach doesn't like. Sometimes in a market like let's say
Green Bay or Kansas City, I'm sure Cincinnati. If you
irk the coach there, the NFL team will try to
yank your credentials. Oh yeah, and they'll punish you. They'll
show you, they'll fix you. Yeah, they're going to take
(03:36):
care of you. I can't ask anything, and again, who cares? Fine,
I don't have to ask anything.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I know way too well, way too well.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
All right, So the rams are here the first go round,
and they used to have a yearly competition and it
was called the Ugmo.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
The Ugmo.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Everybody voted on who they thought was the ugliest player
on the team.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
True, that's true.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
And so they had the big vote. You know, it's
not something you'd read in the early time, so the
Daily News or back then the Herald Examiner. But they
had the big note. They had the big vote. And uh,
I get a call and they go listen. It was
one of the players, Gary Jeter, was voted the winner
of the UGBO. It's hilarious. It's hilarious. Pardon me, Gary Jeter,
(04:30):
you said, yeah, Gary Jeter, right.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
That was his name.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, okay, okay, So.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
He was voted the Ugmo and I'm laughing and the
guy's laughing. He goes, yeah, the guys want you to
say it'll be hilarious. Everybody will laugh. He laughs, it's
really funny.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Okay. So I went on.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I said, well, you know, we've got the results of
the the Ugmo contest and it was Gary Jeter, and
you know, I showed it and talked about it and
I did it kind of a fun way. Next day,
the same guy calls me. He goes, listen, everybody's pissed
at you. I said, why are you pissed at me?
You told me to do it.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
What year was this?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I can't eighties, I don't know. So I said, you
told me to do it. Why you pissed at me? Well,
now his wife is pissed and his wife is pissed
and told him he didn't think it was bad, but
his wife thought it was bad. So he came in
and told us, so, now we can't talk to you.
I said, well, why you were the ones that called me.
(05:31):
You told me to do it. So I had to
deal with that for a while. I did to deal
with that for a while. Then the Raiders are in town,
and I can't remember a linebacker really had a bad game,
and we were close with the Raiders. Linebacker really had
a bad game, and so we went out and talked
about it because it was obvious.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I got a call. I calls me. He goes, hey,
we can't talk to you anymore.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I said, why, why can't you talk to me anymore? Well,
you know, you said, what's his name had a bad game.
I said, but he did have a bad game. And
the guy said, yeah, I know, he had a bad game,
but now we can't talk to you. So that went
on for a couple of weeks as well. So in
the NFL, what I've learned over the years is that
(06:19):
they try to dummy up. They're not going to talk
to you. It's like when Kelly Stafford made her proclamation.
I was doing the challenge with Petros and she, you know,
burst downto the scene with her podcast discussing how we
should refer to Matthew and Tata. If you remember Tata.
She was having wine with Tata and it was wrong.
(06:42):
What she did was wrong. So we went on and
we talked about it. Robie and I talked about it
here Petros talked about it on his show. Petros talked
about it on The Challenge. I talked about it with
him as well, you know what, the players are mad
at you. I don't want to talk to you. What
do you mean, I don't want to talk to us. Well,
(07:03):
they think what you did was wrong. I said, no,
what she did was wrong. What she did was put
herself in play. Well, it's going to be a while
before anybody talks to you. No problem, I'm good. You
don't have to talk to me. Don't care.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, Like it doesn't have the same effect that it would,
Like maybe in a smaller market, maybe back in the day,
that would be a problem to where like look if
there's a college coach like and Nick Saban and you're
writing for the Tuscaloosa Times or yeah, back like I
can understand you've got to listen. You need that access.
You know, it's better for the job. Maybe you can't
(07:39):
be as critical like I get all of that, but
like in these bigger markets, you can get the information
like you're not like okay, oh so I can't go.
I can still talk about them. They're on television, Like
I get the reports from practice, like the way the
NFL's covered. Now, you don't really need to be there
on site. You just need to be able to gather
(08:01):
the information and be able to talk about it, you know,
from an educated standpoint, because you've done the research, and
you've and you've prepared for whatever show or or column
that you're writing, Like this idea, they're holding this power
over everybody's head. Now, I did find it interesting that
you would still talk about that story with the the
gentleman from Gary Jeter from the Rams, like did now
(08:24):
at some point, like, did you ever pull Steve Dills
aside and say, hey, listen, you really put me in
a bad spot by giving me that information and making
me go on air gay?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
That was not I'm not talking about who called me, I.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Like, I mean, listen, if it's Steve Dill's like, that's fine,
Like I'm not I'm not judging, Like I don't want
you to make this seem like I'm trying. I'm judging
you on who you got your information from. That's the
last thing that I would do here, right, Like, but
I just think, you know, I mean, if it's you know,
like if if you want to just come clean with
with who it was, I mean, if it was Craig Rutledge,
(08:58):
that's fine. Like again, I'm not like that. I don't
want Mike Lansford to get a bad rap here on
the show or Dale Hatcher. Like, the last thing I
want is for those guys to get alienated here on
the show. So if you want to just admit it
to one of those guys doing it, I think we
could just all move on in peace.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I think we're moving on in peace anyway. Okay, I
don't think there's an issue. We're all moving on. I mean,
it's all we're all moving on, you know. Back in
the day, the war, Yeah, the ug Mohle Award, which
I thought was hilarious. I did and they were laughing.
I thought, this is great. Back in the day. You
have to understand there was a distinct difference from the
(09:34):
way things are today, Jonas, and back in the day
when television stations really became your most immediate way to
learn information. And this is pride to cable and all
that stuff. You know, players, you would have relationships with players,
you were that outlet. In today's world, you don't even
(09:54):
need local TV really if you're in sports. I mean,
look at the Clippers, with all due respects. You know,
we've kidded about him over the years, and they basically
have zero relationship with us, and we're their radio station.
They don't care. And my final year at NBC, they
stopped allowing stations to do live shots before the game
(10:16):
from the floor. They didn't care. You had to apply,
you didn't get a season credential, and then if you
were there enough, they'd put you in and if not,
you'd stand outside. They didn't care.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I mean, I personally think the coverage of the Clippers
on this station is excellent. But you know, if you
want to like try and cause a line and divide
people here, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
No I'm not And I'm just saying seriously, And Adam
does their show, does a great job, and you know
they are committed to that.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Adam left, Okay, Adam left the building. He's not hearing
what Fred sag right? Why he didn't sign of what
Fred sag right?
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Now?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
You know, no, no, no, I forgot. I forgot you
were here. So here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Okay, I've answered oblivion. Yeah you know what, Adam, it
doesn't count. He forgot you were here. Yeah, I don't
even know that Adam's not here. God, I didn't get
his text yesterday.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
He's not here.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
This was not in the pre show meeting.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
No, all I'm saying is this.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
All I'm saying is this that unlike many years ago,
the majority where you would have relationships with these guys,
it's not beneficial to them any longer.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
They don't need you.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
There are other outlets that serve more people, that do
a better job of increasing their brand. They simply don't
need you. So, I mean, the Clippers really don't take
care of the local media. They don't. Lakers, I think
they do a really poor job of taking care of
the local media. Dodgers I think do.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Kings.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Certainly try. I'll give them that, but the majority of
the time it just doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
They don't care.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Now, the outlets that do try to take care of
the local media are NFL teams that I will say
they do try to take care of the local media
because they believe that's still important. I mean, I know this.
There are people that work for the Rams, and there
are people that work for the Chargers, and I know
(12:13):
they listened to our show. I know that because if
I say something that maybe sticks in somebody's craw I
hear about it. I know they listen so to the
football team's local media still does mean something.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Oh, I mean I know this from first and experience.
There was so I was doing years ago. I want
to say this was twenty seventeen, maybe twenty I mean
it was Jared Goff's first or second year, all right,
I want to say it was his first year. And
I remember I was doing a segment on my weekend
(12:52):
show on Fox Sports Radio, not even like I mean
it was heard on here locally, but I was talking
about Jared Goff and just this struggles of the RAMS
or whatever. And you know, it wasn't so much critical
of GoF It was just the situation going to take
like whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
It was.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Well, somebody misquote, somebody attributed a quote that wasn't true
to a link of the segment and posted it on
social media and said, quote, Jared Goff is a bust.
This isn't going to pan out this organ I mean,
just baring the organization. Why didn't say that, But just
based on the quote that you saw on social media,
(13:31):
that's what everyone went with. The Rams reached out to Cindy,
you know, restors one of one of the best people
I've ever been around in radio, who was like one
of the guest bookers and like kind of facilitated interviews
and basically told her unless we get an apology, you'll
never have an La Ram on that network again ever.
(13:52):
And she like was pissed at me, and she called me.
I remember I was. It was a day off, and
she calls me up and I'm like, what do you
up said about? And she goes, well, you said this,
you said that. I'm like, no, I didn't go back
and listen. So my boss got involved. Scott Shapiro got involved.
He went back and listened. They reached out to whoever,
and it was like friendly fire. It was somebody at
(14:15):
the network who posted the wrong quote, and so once
the RAMS found out, they're like, oh, okay, you know
upon further review, And I told Cindy and Scott are
like wait a second, Like I didn't even say that,
nothing even close. And it almost screwed the entire network
from being able to have access to the rams because
somebody attributed at our network the wrong quote to it.
(14:37):
So sometimes like, look, I can understand getting pissed about things,
but that's why you have to follow every link. You
can't just trust somebody's gonna give you the quote that
they're giving you. You've got to do your due diligence.
Go to the original column and see exactly how sounded,
you know, try and find the actual audio of a clip,
because somebody could misinterpret it, you know, and words could
(15:00):
look better than it's like. You got to actually do
your research a little bit here. But they were pissed
like so to your point, they do listen everything like.
They're very aware of the commentary that's about their organization
and have been for several years.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Let's have a word from Jacob. Hey, did you know
that not all personal injury attorneys will treat you the same?
One primary example of that, you're in an accident, you
hire an attorney. Some major law firm may deem that
your accident is too small and not worth their time,
so they farm it out to a small or less
experienced firm. It happens, and imagine that's you. You think
(15:38):
you're hiring one person, but you have someone else handling
your case. That is just yet another reason why if
you're in an accident, called Jacob, every case is equally
important to Jacob and he won't hand your case off
to someone else. And let's face it, who do you
want dealing with the insurance company? Jacob or potentially someone
a few months out of law school. Don't take the
risk if you're injured in an accident, called Jacob and
(15:59):
get the medical care you need and the compensation you deserve,
because remember, when you call on the journey, you want
one who was respected called Jacob.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Is the real deal?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Called Jacob at eight four four twenty four Jacob eight
four four twenty four Jacob, or visit called Jacob dot com.
So here's the question to guarantee in your mind the
Laker are the Lakers, the Dodgers have success in the playoffs.
(16:33):
What do you need to see right now comfortable believing
the Dodgers will succeed in the playoffs? That was your
question you asked of Bill Plunkett, right, Jonathan.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah, Yeah, I just think there's like, yeah, you're optimistic
about Yamamoto, but there's still question marks. And we've talked
about and I think we talked about it last week, like
down the stretch, Dave Roberts probably didn't anticipate that this
is how the year would finish up, that you know
it was going to be about who do I got
that's even healthy? As we get ready for the season,
you know that the top of the lineup seems intact,
(17:07):
but you know they've dealt with issues throughout the course
of the year. So be interesting to see what some
of the responses are.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
All right, eight six six, nine, seven seventy, let's go
to the uh six oh five, Mario, appreciate your holding.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Go ahead, Hey, thanks for taking my call. Guys. The
problems that I have is is our bullpen? Look at
last night. I don't understand some of the moves that
he makes, Like why did he bring in Phillips last night?
Who's our closer? Isn't him? Is it Phillips? Is it Hudson?
Who's our closer? Sometimes BESSI comes in dosically striking everybody out.
(17:42):
All right, defy God, we got this other games is
like what are you going? Why even out there? So
my thing is the bullpen?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Uh, Mario, appreciate the call. A couple of things. Gotta
be honest with you. We're both we're both doing great.
We're great. Thanks and you know something. Happy to take
your call. Love taking your call. We wouldn't ask if
we don't want to take your call. So we're great,
We're happy to take your call.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
What is your problem? Why can't the guy just you know,
be pleasant when he calls in?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
What you because you know what, we got a lot
of people that want to talk. Let's get to it, geez,
let's just get to it. What's on your mind? His
concern is the bullpen, and I will say that I
think Dave Roberts is still trying to figure that out.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Who is the closer?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Well, you know it's September.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
They still have three weeks to go. You're parting, you
still have.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Time, Okay, I mean that is a problem, Like there's
no real clear It's like you know, we're hearing you know,
Bill say earlier that you know you don't depend on
a starter as much as you used to, like the
Madison bumb Gardeners in years past, et cetera, et cetera.
It's like, okay, so then it's more about like the bullpen. Sweet,
all right, So who's closing those games? Eh?
Speaker 3 (18:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
We you know, we'll have an answer as we get
It's like, okay, that's an issue.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
We have a handful of guys, we'll make a decision.
We're giving everybody an opportunity. Now what it gots right
down to, hey, better to have one two than one,
better to have more than less.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
You know, some would argue that the point there that
some would say, listen, it's like the old adagy. If
you have two quarterbacks, you don't have one. You know,
at some point you got to make a call here
and make a decision.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Hey, you know what, everybody in your bullpen could close?
How good is that? That means everybody could be put
in a high leverage situation. That's a bullpen.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Oh, I mean, hey, like I'm into it. Like, if
it's going to make it more exciting and more entertaining,
let's rock it. I'm into it.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Let's go Raoul in the Inland Empire, appreciate your holding.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
What do you think.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
We'll foremost? How y'all doing so?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
We're good, Raoul? Thanks for asking, man, I appreciate it.
Hope you and the family.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Well, Raoul, Raoul, were you listening? Did you just hear
me say don't do that? Did you just hear me
say don't do that?
Speaker 5 (20:00):
You know I call you about twice a year the
start and when the season is about to be over,
and you know, I kind of feel like our family,
so I wanted to greet you man.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
All right, all right, go ahead, Roll, go ahead, all right.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
So so I think, you know, just getting healthy, you know,
as a starting vrotation. Uh maybe maybe either either Kershaw
or Walker Butter getting their head right and pitching a
little better. But what concerns me what I need to
see better? And I know, you know, I always give
mister Roboto the business. Dave roberts does a pretty good
job of juggling the lineup, putting people in the right position,
(20:37):
and they succeed when he makes those moves. But he's
just like the NFL coach. I'd like to see Dave
Robertson relinquish a little bit of the pitching moves in
the playoffs because strategically he hasn't done a great job.
And maybe if he maybe gets some more influt from
his best coach or a pitchy coach, might make the difference.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
All right, Roll, thanks man, Thanks and nice talking to you.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I mean, listen, I thought that was kind of him,
and I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
All right.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
So we've had two calls Hey, what about Kopiic, Like
what probably be okay, but so what's your rush? Where's
he going? What are they going to DFA and where's
he going?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Well, I'm just saying, like, how about like you know,
some decision so we know like that's our guy.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Well maybe they know it's their guy to say.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
It's a surprise, yes, okay, cool. I didn't know we
were doing fortune cookies to get to the postseason in
the bullpen. I didn't know that.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Right.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
By the way, this is going to open up Dave
Roberts to criticism eventually.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
If they don't have.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
A you're doing it too.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Here's the thing, just ask no, We've had two calls
and now you the tone of all of them is
it's Dave Roberts fault. The first two calls, first album
with Dave ros Ay.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
First of all, nobody has washed Dave Roberts balls more
on this show than I have and I and I
say that proudly. I defend the guy all the time.
And I think this is maybe the best job he's
done as a manager since he's been with the Dodgers,
considering all that he's had to deal with, the injuries,
all the other stuff off the field, like I think
he's I think he's done a remarkable job and he
doesn't get enough credit. But it's September, the postseasons right
(22:13):
around the corner. We still don't have a clear answer
as to who the closer is, which has been an
issue in the past.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
I don't think he literally just irritated because of the pleasantries.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Being No, I'm not it has Fred hot right now.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
No, No, What has me hot and concerned is what
Jonas said he does to Dave Roberts, and that I
think your watching.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah, and I can say that proudly. Well, okay, hey, Fred,
you know the rules here nowadays. You can't judge me
for my tastes and my interests.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Oh that's true, it will be did you Oh did
you see the did you see the big video?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Did you have to watch it on the network level?
What do you mean the HR workplace video?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Well, listen, I've done mine, I've passed with Flying Colors.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
It was an hour. Did you watch it?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I did did you?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Really?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Yes? I mean I think it's I think it's wonderful
what the company does.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Well, look, legally they have to do it, but some
of those questions on there, they're pretty easy to answer.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Fred is just nuking everybody to know.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I'm not you're going after everybody. No, I'm not. Our
partners the company.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Fred, I don't think you're supposed to talk about our
personal iHeart radio tests that we have to take here.
Do you know, I think that's a bridge too far there.
Fred cares about like one of the questions. You know,
they have a scenario when somebody starts talking to do
it Fred, Oh no, I'm going to change it up, Ronnie,
I'm going to change it.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
By the way, stick around an hour three, Fred will
read off everybody's social Security number on there.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
You're nice knowing everybody signing out Rogan and Rodney for
the final time.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
What No, wasn't it like this? So you have somebody
who's a little overweight and they're talking to their boss, right.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
And they're on a zoom call.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah, and the boss is saying, I got to tell
you something, bill, uh, you know, you really need some
areas of improvement, and if you improve in these areas,
then I think things are gonna be great. And then
they drop something like this, and then the boss says
and by the way, if you weren't so fat, you'd
be able to do that. And then it stops immediately,
(24:16):
It stops immediately, and it's like, what, maybe, what's the
what wasn't that one was like? And then it says
should the boss have said these things? And it's like, no,
the boss shouldn't say that.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You make it seem like it's the pie eating contest,
and stand by me, the guys walking up to the
stage and they're like, hey, boy, are you fat? Like
what are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (24:40):
It's pretty blatant, and.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I know it was Adam.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
I feel like Fred is harassing the harassment training right now.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Let it go, Fred, take a call. My god, I
don't normally say that to you. All right, Fred, Please,
let's move on.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
No, can I just say one thing, just one thing.
I've got to dump it?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
No, No, you don't have to dump it because we
don't have this one anymore. So we used to have
an old one that you might remember. And in that one,
a woman walked up to the copy machine. Now wait
to hear the whole story. A woman walked up to
the copy machine and went to make a copy. And
you have these two people looking at her, and you
(25:22):
overhear their conversation and it's something like, hey boy, look
at her. Wow. And you know, somebody on the side
of the room overhears these two guys gawking at this woman.
And then it stops and said, you know, should they
have said that? Should this person report it?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
So I go to Foreman's across the street from my house.
It's like a Friday night. I get there like five o'clock,
it's early. I go when I order a drink. So
the bartender comes up and says, hey, how you doing.
And she serves me and I go, oh my god,
I know you. I know you.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
You were the.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Woman in the iHeart video where they were gawking at
you at the copy machine? All right, you know?
Speaker 3 (26:07):
She said, yes, I was ya. How do you think I.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
Looked like your autographed friend if you were gawking at her,
that's why you noticed that no friends violated your own
rules and regulations.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Friends like friends like friends like you made me want
to buy a copy machine.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Maybe she wanted to be anonymous, Fred and not have
somebody call her out like you did.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
And she didn't want to be anonymous. She's an actress
that was a gig she goes, Look, I took the job.
I took the job, but it was great.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, but those are those are real scenarios that should
be avoided by everybody.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yes, don't fool around with that. Yeah, and it happened,
reported to HR immediately.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Hey, it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
We haven't cut off Fred in this segment like we
do Vic every day, and this was the one to
get him.
Speaker 7 (26:51):
I mean, Fred's feeling pretty brave because he's in the desert.
He's not afraid of the boss is storming in the
studio saying what.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Would they say? What did I say?
Speaker 6 (26:59):
Fred?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
What did I say? That was wrong?
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Talk about pulling back the curtains.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I mean, I listen. I think you know. One thing
that we did establish here is that we've clearly identified
what the soft spot is for the Dodgers in the bullpen.
I think that was clearly.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
All Right, let's get Ronnie and Corona on because he's
got something to say. We're fine, that's great, taking your call, Ronnie.
How are you could use a Corona right now?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (27:21):
What's going on? Guys?
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Jonas?
Speaker 8 (27:23):
Ronnie?
Speaker 6 (27:23):
How you guys doing Fred? Who cares?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Are you not listening to? Wa?
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Ronnie I appreciate it. Man, How are you doing, how's
the family? How's everything outstanding?
Speaker 8 (27:35):
Obviously besides the bullpen and everybody's been talking about, I'm
just talking about the starting rotation going to the playoff series,
Like I don't even really know who our number one is.
Best case scenario, you got Yamamoto, Glass now Flaherty Stone,
but they're all still a little uh, you know, worth
the shaky because of injuries. And then also too with
so Will Smith, I don't know if he's like capable
(27:58):
of being in that number four or five spot that
he has. Guys been struggling batt and never is getting
lower and lower. He's not even plane more than three
or four times a week. And then you got Barnes
in there, that defensively struggling kitty and we all know
how he's doing. So just that, and also Monsy, it
was nice to see Monthsy in there last night against
(28:18):
the left he proved that he can hit a lefty
and hit the home run ball deep.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
All right, I appreciate it, Thanks Ronnie. Yeah, welse about that?
And not had a great year, you know who?
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Was kind of surprising because I haven't heard anybody else
say this but Bill Plunkett brought it up earlier. You know,
it Showeytani's numbers. You know, maybe he's starting to chase
the fifty to fifty.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
You're a bite your tongue. You don't say a bad
word about it.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I mean, look, I'm I'm as big a fan as anybody.
I want to see it. I think I think we're
going to see it. But I have just haven't heard
a lot of people say that. You know, maybe you know,
he just hasn't been as effective and maybe there's a
question mark about him in the postseason considering you know,
he doesn't have a whole lot of experience.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
He's going to be fine. Okay, I love when people
say that. I just I love that. Oh you know what,
this guy has no postseason experience. He's the best player
in baseball. He's going to be fine. He doesn't need
any postseason experience. He's the best player in baseball. He'll
be the National League mvat.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
It's funny, out of all the things that have been
said during this segment, that that's the one that you
took issue with. It's funny that's really that was the
one that did it for you.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
How dare you, Robert and Rancho Kook. Robert, life couldn't
be better. So good to talk to you. It's a pleasure.
What's on your mind?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
He dropped, Fred? How are you, Adam? How are you doing?
How's everything good?
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Jonas?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
It's just nice to be agreed like that.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
All right. Let's you know.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I'm not greeting you like that, all right? Rafael and
Chino Hills. Rafael, what do you have to say?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (29:55):
For me, it's just consistency of consistency from the bat,
from the start lineup to the bullpen. I mean, at
bat we could win ten to one, but then the
very next game lose ten to four. So I just
like to see consistency up and down the lineup, from
the top of the order to the bottom of the order.
But same for the pitching. You could have Buehler pitched
(30:18):
great in one game for a few innings, and then
the next time he gets blown out. Same as the bullpen,
Phillips be out there closing the game doing great. The
next thing you know, he blows the game from yesterday
all through the airs. They need to start being more
consistent on keeping the ball in play and keeping their
head down.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
All right, Thanks Rafe, I'll appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I mean, I'm great. I don't know why he didn't ask.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Well, you know why because he listens. Okay, because Rafee,
all I thought that was the best call we had.
I mean, that was the best call.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
All right.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
So the guy that cuts straight to the chase and
didn't offer any pleasantries or anything like that, that was
the best call. So that's that's how you want to
be greeted in public. Apparently, also, just no high how
are you? No small talk? Like you know, if a
waiter comes to the table, don't ask how my day is.
Just tell me what the apps are, what are the specials?
And yes we'll take another glass of wine. That's all
(31:09):
you want.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Well what do you need? I mean, how much time
do you have in life? Okay, you're a busy person.
All right, let's let's finish it up with Sean Longbeach.
Go ahead, Sean.
Speaker 10 (31:20):
Hey, guys, thank you for making my call. I think
the biggest problem is the energy level. The past two
years we've gone to the playoffs. You know, it's a
division rival and then boom we get steamrolled. I do think, however,
this year it will be different. We got guys who
have grit, who want to win. I like seeing clarity
the other two weeks ago against Randy Rose Arena, throwing
(31:42):
at him saying stuff. We need people like that on
the team, people that want to win, people that are
going out there and they want to change the game,
they want to win. I mean we are one and
six for our last six playoff games.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
I think this year is gonna be a lot better though,
And I also want to see what they're going to
do it Tony go. No one's mentioned that he did
a good yesterday and rehab she had a good rehab start.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
You're right, John, what do you tell me? He followed,
He followed the criteria according to you, and and just
cut straight to the chase. He didn't ask how we
were doing.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
He said, thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
All right, we don't need that.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
It's highly inappropriate. You are you are a world class
ball breaker.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
You know that now. You know what?
Speaker 1 (32:27):
In a world without rules, there is chaos. Do you
want to live in a chaotic world?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
I want to live in a world where people say
hi and by and are concerned with how my day is.
That's the world I want to live in. And apparently
you don't.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
No, I do want to.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
I want to live in that world when I'm walking around,
of course, but here everybody has something to say, and
I want to get as many people on as we can.
That's all I'm trying to do.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
I mean, you just celebrated the UGMO Awards.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Those are a few years back, okay, Like act think
it was pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Where we honor and give it award out to the
ugliest guy on the team.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I didn't create that award, Jonas. It wasn't me. It
was a team award that I was told about and
told to discuss, and then at that point they wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Talk to me anymore. Okay, Yeah, so whose fun is that?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
I don't know. Maybe some things are better left unsaid.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
You know, Tyreek Hill has something to say.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
What stories won't go away? It just won't go away.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
And we won't let it go away.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Next the outcome and basically there's not a lot more
to say except today. If you don't know the story,
Tyreek Hill was pulled over going to the game, the
Dolphin game on Sunday. They asked him to roll down
his window. That didn't go very well. I think the officers.
(33:54):
So tyreek Hill made a mistake there. Then the officer
certainly overreacted. I mean he made a mistake there, pulled
him out of the car and threw him down.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Uh I think that.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
You know, if you look at both sides, both there
in fault. Is one more in fault than the other. Well,
if one thing didn't happen, the other wouldn't have happened.
Right In any event, tyreek Hill now says what needs
to happen is the officer that pulled him out of
the car should be fired.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Okay, got it? Okay, listen, Like I know, nobody wants
to say this because it's maybe not the popular opinion.
Tyreek Hill was a tool like period, Like the guy
behaved like a tool when the cop showed up to
the car, and then the cop in turn acted like
a tool. I'm not trying to split a pie and
say who's got more percentage of the blame or whatnot.
(34:41):
There's equal blame there. Both, as we said yesterday, could
have handled the situation better. But we're just gonna call
for jobs like No, you learn from it, use it
as a teaching moment, and then you move forward. If
something more serious had happened, totally understand, And we've seen
officers get reprimanded before before that. Some have gone to
(35:02):
jail for a long periods of time as they should
have before that. But like, come on, man, like, like,
let's stop the well, we just got to call for jobs. No,
like you use it as a teaching moment, like if
you need to, you know, suspend or punish the officer
further to trying to appease everybody, Like fine, if you
need to move them to another department to get them away, fine,
(35:24):
but come on, what are we calling for jobs? Like? Like,
you could have handled the situation better too, dude, Like
you did not handle it the correct way and a
way in which nobody listening would ever assume. Oh, if
I do that and say that to a cop, don't
knock on my window like that and then roll the
window back up, that's gonna go well for me. Nobody
(35:45):
thinks that. So the whole thing's weird.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
All right, let's listen to it one more time. I
don't knock, don't knock?
Speaker 10 (35:54):
Why don't you have your no knock on my wind?
Speaker 5 (35:56):
Why don't you want to let that know?
Speaker 10 (35:59):
They would no, not from my window?
Speaker 8 (36:00):
Like why you have it up.
Speaker 10 (36:01):
Don't knock on my window like that.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Why you have it up?
Speaker 9 (36:03):
I do not to let you know I'm here.
Speaker 10 (36:05):
Don't waken nowhere and talk.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
To me in my ticket, bro, so I can go.
I'm finna lay. Hey, do what you gotta do.
Speaker 9 (36:12):
Let me keep it down.
Speaker 10 (36:14):
Hey, keep your window down?
Speaker 2 (36:19):
What?
Speaker 9 (36:25):
Hey? Keep your window down?
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Tell me what?
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Keep your window down.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
I'm gonna get you out of the car, I said, matterfu,
get out of the car, put me up, Get out of.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
The far let me break up for me.
Speaker 6 (36:35):
Get out of the car.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Hoping to get out. Get out of the car right now.
We're not playing this game. Get out, get it up.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Get out, get off, get out, get out?
Speaker 2 (36:46):
What part of problem?
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Hey, hey, dr getting the rest. I'm getting arrested. I'm
getting arrested, drouke, I'm getting up.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Let you twin. When we tell you to nothing you're doing?
You understand? You understand? How were you want?
Speaker 8 (37:03):
Well?
Speaker 3 (37:03):
When we tell you, bro, this isn't good? All right?
So that's what happened. The one thing I find interesting.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Uh, And I have to tell you, I just feel
the officer that yanked him out of the car did overreact.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Of course, I do believe that.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
But in all of the comments, unless I've missed them,
where did Tyreek Hill ever say, hey, I'm sorry for
the way I handled it at the beginning, And maybe
I'd missed that.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
I think he had a comment earlier, if I'm not mistaken,
where he might have acknowledged something like that. I haven't
seen the exact quote, but I think there was something
along those lines where, let me see if I've got
it here, he said he could have handled things better
with police, but it doesn't give them the right to
literally beat the dog out of me, was his quote,
(38:04):
which I mean, all right, so it's like it's like
an apology, but like a half apology to where you
you know, like dude to me, it's pretty cut and dry.
The problem is it creates a divide on social media,
and so this is where people run with it to
where now you're gonna take it it's you know, the cops,
and it stirs up all the same conversations that are
(38:25):
legitimate conversation to have, not dismissing any of that stuff.
They're real things that have happened to people. There's been
police brutality. Everybody knows that. And now we see it
more often when it does happen, but not all to
all those things are the same and this is not
like those. Tyreek Hill could have handled the situation better,
the cop could handle the situation better. Both were in
(38:47):
the wrong here. That to me seems pretty cut and dry.
But like nobody can take that.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Approach now what worked? From w I was gonna have
a word from Jake, But I jumped the gun.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
I jumped the gun, all right, when we come back,
David Basse joins us, I just get ready to wrap
things up with the Cubs. Dave reported Tiascar Hernandez back tonight.
We'll talk to him about that.
Then we continue on Fred Rogan, Jonas Knox and today
for Rodney on five to seventy LA Sports. Later Dodger
fans will up in the phone lines this hour, and
here's your question. What do you need to see to
be completely confident about them in the playoffs right now?
What do you need to see right now? Do you
need to see how'ma moto like he was last night?
(00:22):
Do you need to see Tyler Glass now back and
ready to go? Do you need to see certain people hitting?
What do you need to see to guarantee you are
confident as they head into the playoffs? We will open
the phone lines and do that later on in the hour, now, Jonas,
before the break, First, we never did the USC cannabis story.
(00:43):
I'll make it quick and then I'll tell you the story.
So USC, we talked about NIL, we talked about players
getting paid. They now have a deal with a cannabis
company for NIL. NTAA removed cannabinoids from their banned substances
lists over the summer. USC the first ones to jump
on board. So now they've got a deal with the
(01:04):
accounabis company for NIL.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I mean, listen, as long as it's nothing nefarious and
you know, there's no issues. You know, it's not like
a sitting some nil up with a bookie or a
gambling company or you know, some ped company. You know, listen,
everything's on the up and up, little CBD, little paycheck.
At the end of this whole thing. You got to
twenty two years old, being in college and you're making
(01:29):
one point two million dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
That's sweet, It is sweet. But I actually think that
opened joup. I mean, now you're you're available if you
make bad plays, you make mistakes. I think it open
job for criticism. You're getting paid now you're like a
professional athlete.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, and also from the companies as well too. Am
I getting what I paid for?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I mean, like, you know, why set up a sponsorship
Like we talked about Shack yesterday we lost twenty million
dollars because he jokingly agreed with Kyrie Irving's flat earth theory.
Like if some of these companies out there, like, man, listen,
I'm giving you the X amount of dollars and you're
playing like crap, like can they get out of that?
You know, I'm assuming contracts will be involved. The other
(02:11):
thing as well too, that doesn't get brought up a
lot is the agents who are And I didn't even
know how prevalent this was until I was talking with
Brady Quinn and LeVar Arrington and LeVar had a son
who just committed to Penn State. But in talking to
the recruiting process, like you can get anybody who can
say they're an agent nowadays, who are hitting up these kids,
(02:32):
letting them know, all all represents you, All represents you,
all get you the better deals and all this, and
they've got no like there's no real background being done
on any of this.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
You read in college?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, like register, yeah you do. But like they're getting
in touch with these kids like way early, like some
of them, you know, maybe middle like eighth grade in
high school, like, hey, all represents you, all represents you,
and they're just all And some of these kids are
signing up with bad des in bad deals with these
agents that don't have a reputation or a resume to
(03:06):
back up any of the stuff that they're promising. So
it is problematic, but you know, at least they're getting checks, they're.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Getting paid, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
We talked about teams yanking your credentials. More often than not,
it happens in college if somebody asked a question the
coach doesn't like. Sometimes in a market like let's say
Green Bay or Kansas City, I'm sure Cincinnati. If you
irk the coach there, the NFL team will try to
yank your credentials. Oh yeah, and they'll punish you. They'll
show you, they'll fix you. Yeah, they're going to take
(03:36):
care of you. I can't ask anything, and again, who cares? Fine,
I don't have to ask anything.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I know way too well, way too well.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
All right, So the rams are here the first go round,
and they used to have a yearly competition and it
was called the Ugmo.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
The Ugmo.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Everybody voted on who they thought was the ugliest player
on the team.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
True, that's true.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
And so they had the big vote. You know, it's
not something you'd read in the early time, so the
Daily News or back then the Herald Examiner. But they
had the big note. They had the big vote. And uh,
I get a call and they go listen. It was
one of the players, Gary Jeter, was voted the winner
of the UGBO. It's hilarious. It's hilarious. Pardon me, Gary Jeter,
(04:30):
you said, yeah, Gary Jeter, right.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
That was his name.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, okay, okay, So.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
He was voted the Ugmo and I'm laughing and the
guy's laughing. He goes, yeah, the guys want you to
say it'll be hilarious. Everybody will laugh. He laughs, it's
really funny.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Okay. So I went on.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I said, well, you know, we've got the results of
the the Ugmo contest and it was Gary Jeter, and
you know, I showed it and talked about it and
I did it kind of a fun way. Next day,
the same guy calls me. He goes, listen, everybody's pissed
at you. I said, why are you pissed at me?
You told me to do it.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
What year was this?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I can't eighties, I don't know. So I said, you
told me to do it. Why you pissed at me? Well,
now his wife is pissed and his wife is pissed
and told him he didn't think it was bad, but
his wife thought it was bad. So he came in
and told us, so, now we can't talk to you.
I said, well, why you were the ones that called me.
(05:31):
You told me to do it. So I had to
deal with that for a while. I did to deal
with that for a while. Then the Raiders are in town,
and I can't remember a linebacker really had a bad game,
and we were close with the Raiders. Linebacker really had
a bad game, and so we went out and talked
about it because it was obvious.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I got a call. I calls me. He goes, hey,
we can't talk to you anymore.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I said, why, why can't you talk to me anymore? Well,
you know, you said, what's his name had a bad game.
I said, but he did have a bad game. And
the guy said, yeah, I know, he had a bad game,
but now we can't talk to you. So that went
on for a couple of weeks as well. So in
the NFL, what I've learned over the years is that
(06:19):
they try to dummy up. They're not going to talk
to you. It's like when Kelly Stafford made her proclamation.
I was doing the challenge with Petros and she, you know,
burst downto the scene with her podcast discussing how we
should refer to Matthew and Tata. If you remember Tata.
She was having wine with Tata and it was wrong.
(06:42):
What she did was wrong. So we went on and
we talked about it. Robie and I talked about it
here Petros talked about it on his show. Petros talked
about it on The Challenge. I talked about it with
him as well, you know what, the players are mad
at you. I don't want to talk to you. What
do you mean, I don't want to talk to us. Well,
(07:03):
they think what you did was wrong. I said, no,
what she did was wrong. What she did was put
herself in play. Well, it's going to be a while
before anybody talks to you. No problem, I'm good. You
don't have to talk to me. Don't care.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, Like it doesn't have the same effect that it would,
Like maybe in a smaller market, maybe back in the day,
that would be a problem to where like look if
there's a college coach like and Nick Saban and you're
writing for the Tuscaloosa Times or yeah, back like I
can understand you've got to listen. You need that access.
You know, it's better for the job. Maybe you can't
(07:39):
be as critical like I get all of that, but
like in these bigger markets, you can get the information
like you're not like okay, oh so I can't go.
I can still talk about them. They're on television, Like
I get the reports from practice, like the way the
NFL's covered. Now, you don't really need to be there
on site. You just need to be able to gather
(08:01):
the information and be able to talk about it, you know,
from an educated standpoint, because you've done the research, and
you've and you've prepared for whatever show or or column
that you're writing, Like this idea, they're holding this power
over everybody's head. Now, I did find it interesting that
you would still talk about that story with the the
gentleman from Gary Jeter from the Rams, like did now
(08:24):
at some point, like, did you ever pull Steve Dills
aside and say, hey, listen, you really put me in
a bad spot by giving me that information and making
me go on air gay?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
That was not I'm not talking about who called me, I.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Like, I mean, listen, if it's Steve Dill's like, that's fine,
Like I'm not I'm not judging, Like I don't want
you to make this seem like I'm trying. I'm judging
you on who you got your information from. That's the
last thing that I would do here, right, Like, but
I just think, you know, I mean, if it's you know,
like if if you want to just come clean with
with who it was, I mean, if it was Craig Rutledge,
(08:58):
that's fine. Like again, I'm not like that. I don't
want Mike Lansford to get a bad rap here on
the show or Dale Hatcher. Like, the last thing I
want is for those guys to get alienated here on
the show. So if you want to just admit it
to one of those guys doing it, I think we
could just all move on in peace.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I think we're moving on in peace anyway. Okay, I
don't think there's an issue. We're all moving on. I mean,
it's all we're all moving on, you know. Back in
the day, the war, Yeah, the ug Mohle Award, which
I thought was hilarious. I did and they were laughing.
I thought, this is great. Back in the day. You
have to understand there was a distinct difference from the
(09:34):
way things are today, Jonas, and back in the day
when television stations really became your most immediate way to
learn information. And this is pride to cable and all
that stuff. You know, players, you would have relationships with players,
you were that outlet. In today's world, you don't even
(09:54):
need local TV really if you're in sports. I mean,
look at the Clippers, with all due respects. You know,
we've kidded about him over the years, and they basically
have zero relationship with us, and we're their radio station.
They don't care. And my final year at NBC, they
stopped allowing stations to do live shots before the game
(10:16):
from the floor. They didn't care. You had to apply,
you didn't get a season credential, and then if you
were there enough, they'd put you in and if not,
you'd stand outside. They didn't care.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I mean, I personally think the coverage of the Clippers
on this station is excellent. But you know, if you
want to like try and cause a line and divide
people here, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
No I'm not And I'm just saying seriously, And Adam
does their show, does a great job, and you know
they are committed to that.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Adam left, Okay, Adam left the building. He's not hearing
what Fred sag right? Why he didn't sign of what
Fred sag right?
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Now?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
You know, no, no, no, I forgot. I forgot you
were here. So here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Okay, I've answered oblivion. Yeah you know what, Adam, it
doesn't count. He forgot you were here. Yeah, I don't
even know that Adam's not here. God, I didn't get
his text yesterday.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
He's not here.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
This was not in the pre show meeting.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
No, all I'm saying is this.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
All I'm saying is this that unlike many years ago,
the majority where you would have relationships with these guys,
it's not beneficial to them any longer.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
They don't need you.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
There are other outlets that serve more people, that do
a better job of increasing their brand. They simply don't
need you. So, I mean, the Clippers really don't take
care of the local media. They don't. Lakers, I think
they do a really poor job of taking care of
the local media. Dodgers I think do.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Kings.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Certainly try. I'll give them that, but the majority of
the time it just doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
They don't care.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Now, the outlets that do try to take care of
the local media are NFL teams that I will say
they do try to take care of the local media
because they believe that's still important. I mean, I know this.
There are people that work for the Rams, and there
are people that work for the Chargers, and I know
(12:13):
they listened to our show. I know that because if
I say something that maybe sticks in somebody's craw I
hear about it. I know they listen so to the
football team's local media still does mean something.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Oh, I mean I know this from first and experience.
There was so I was doing years ago. I want
to say this was twenty seventeen, maybe twenty I mean
it was Jared Goff's first or second year, all right,
I want to say it was his first year. And
I remember I was doing a segment on my weekend
(12:52):
show on Fox Sports Radio, not even like I mean
it was heard on here locally, but I was talking
about Jared Goff and just this struggles of the RAMS
or whatever. And you know, it wasn't so much critical
of GoF It was just the situation going to take
like whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
It was.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Well, somebody misquote, somebody attributed a quote that wasn't true
to a link of the segment and posted it on
social media and said, quote, Jared Goff is a bust.
This isn't going to pan out this organ I mean,
just baring the organization. Why didn't say that, But just
based on the quote that you saw on social media,
(13:31):
that's what everyone went with. The Rams reached out to Cindy,
you know, restors one of one of the best people
I've ever been around in radio, who was like one
of the guest bookers and like kind of facilitated interviews
and basically told her unless we get an apology, you'll
never have an La Ram on that network again ever.
(13:52):
And she like was pissed at me, and she called me.
I remember I was. It was a day off, and
she calls me up and I'm like, what do you
up said about? And she goes, well, you said this,
you said that. I'm like, no, I didn't go back
and listen. So my boss got involved. Scott Shapiro got involved.
He went back and listened. They reached out to whoever,
and it was like friendly fire. It was somebody at
(14:15):
the network who posted the wrong quote, and so once
the RAMS found out, they're like, oh, okay, you know
upon further review, And I told Cindy and Scott are
like wait a second, Like I didn't even say that,
nothing even close. And it almost screwed the entire network
from being able to have access to the rams because
somebody attributed at our network the wrong quote to it.
(14:37):
So sometimes like, look, I can understand getting pissed about things,
but that's why you have to follow every link. You
can't just trust somebody's gonna give you the quote that
they're giving you. You've got to do your due diligence.
Go to the original column and see exactly how sounded,
you know, try and find the actual audio of a clip,
because somebody could misinterpret it, you know, and words could
(15:00):
look better than it's like. You got to actually do
your research a little bit here. But they were pissed
like so to your point, they do listen everything like.
They're very aware of the commentary that's about their organization
and have been for several years.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Let's have a word from Jacob. Hey, did you know
that not all personal injury attorneys will treat you the same?
One primary example of that, you're in an accident, you
hire an attorney. Some major law firm may deem that
your accident is too small and not worth their time,
so they farm it out to a small or less
experienced firm. It happens, and imagine that's you. You think
(15:38):
you're hiring one person, but you have someone else handling
your case. That is just yet another reason why if
you're in an accident, called Jacob, every case is equally
important to Jacob and he won't hand your case off
to someone else. And let's face it, who do you
want dealing with the insurance company? Jacob or potentially someone
a few months out of law school. Don't take the
risk if you're injured in an accident, called Jacob and
(15:59):
get the medical care you need and the compensation you deserve,
because remember, when you call on the journey, you want
one who was respected called Jacob.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Is the real deal?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Called Jacob at eight four four twenty four Jacob eight
four four twenty four Jacob, or visit called Jacob dot com.
So here's the question to guarantee in your mind the
Laker are the Lakers, the Dodgers have success in the playoffs.
(16:33):
What do you need to see right now comfortable believing
the Dodgers will succeed in the playoffs? That was your
question you asked of Bill Plunkett, right, Jonathan.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah, Yeah, I just think there's like, yeah, you're optimistic
about Yamamoto, but there's still question marks. And we've talked
about and I think we talked about it last week, like
down the stretch, Dave Roberts probably didn't anticipate that this
is how the year would finish up, that you know
it was going to be about who do I got
that's even healthy? As we get ready for the season,
you know that the top of the lineup seems intact,
(17:07):
but you know they've dealt with issues throughout the course
of the year. So be interesting to see what some
of the responses are.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
All right, eight six six, nine, seven seventy, let's go
to the uh six oh five, Mario, appreciate your holding.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Go ahead, Hey, thanks for taking my call. Guys. The
problems that I have is is our bullpen? Look at
last night. I don't understand some of the moves that
he makes, Like why did he bring in Phillips last night?
Who's our closer? Isn't him? Is it Phillips? Is it Hudson?
Who's our closer? Sometimes BESSI comes in dosically striking everybody out.
(17:42):
All right, defy God, we got this other games is
like what are you going? Why even out there? So
my thing is the bullpen?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Uh, Mario, appreciate the call. A couple of things. Gotta
be honest with you. We're both we're both doing great.
We're great. Thanks and you know something. Happy to take
your call. Love taking your call. We wouldn't ask if
we don't want to take your call. So we're great,
We're happy to take your call.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
What is your problem? Why can't the guy just you know,
be pleasant when he calls in?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
What you because you know what, we got a lot
of people that want to talk. Let's get to it, geez,
let's just get to it. What's on your mind? His
concern is the bullpen, and I will say that I
think Dave Roberts is still trying to figure that out.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Who is the closer?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Well, you know it's September.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
They still have three weeks to go. You're parting, you
still have.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Time, Okay, I mean that is a problem, Like there's
no real clear It's like you know, we're hearing you know,
Bill say earlier that you know you don't depend on
a starter as much as you used to, like the
Madison bumb Gardeners in years past, et cetera, et cetera.
It's like, okay, so then it's more about like the bullpen. Sweet,
all right, So who's closing those games? Eh?
Speaker 3 (18:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
We you know, we'll have an answer as we get
It's like, okay, that's an issue.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
We have a handful of guys, we'll make a decision.
We're giving everybody an opportunity. Now what it gots right
down to, hey, better to have one two than one,
better to have more than less.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
You know, some would argue that the point there that
some would say, listen, it's like the old adagy. If
you have two quarterbacks, you don't have one. You know,
at some point you got to make a call here
and make a decision.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Hey, you know what, everybody in your bullpen could close?
How good is that? That means everybody could be put
in a high leverage situation. That's a bullpen.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Oh, I mean, hey, like I'm into it. Like, if
it's going to make it more exciting and more entertaining,
let's rock it. I'm into it.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Let's go Raoul in the Inland Empire, appreciate your holding.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
What do you think.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
We'll foremost? How y'all doing so?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
We're good, Raoul? Thanks for asking, man, I appreciate it.
Hope you and the family.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Well, Raoul, Raoul, were you listening? Did you just hear
me say don't do that? Did you just hear me
say don't do that?
Speaker 5 (20:00):
You know I call you about twice a year the
start and when the season is about to be over,
and you know, I kind of feel like our family,
so I wanted to greet you man.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
All right, all right, go ahead, Roll, go ahead, all right.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
So so I think, you know, just getting healthy, you know,
as a starting vrotation. Uh maybe maybe either either Kershaw
or Walker Butter getting their head right and pitching a
little better. But what concerns me what I need to
see better? And I know, you know, I always give
mister Roboto the business. Dave roberts does a pretty good
job of juggling the lineup, putting people in the right position,
(20:37):
and they succeed when he makes those moves. But he's
just like the NFL coach. I'd like to see Dave
Robertson relinquish a little bit of the pitching moves in
the playoffs because strategically he hasn't done a great job.
And maybe if he maybe gets some more influt from
his best coach or a pitchy coach, might make the difference.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
All right, Roll, thanks man, Thanks and nice talking to you.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I mean, listen, I thought that was kind of him,
and I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
All right.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
So we've had two calls Hey, what about Kopiic, Like
what probably be okay, but so what's your rush? Where's
he going? What are they going to DFA and where's
he going?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Well, I'm just saying, like, how about like you know,
some decision so we know like that's our guy.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Well maybe they know it's their guy to say.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
It's a surprise, yes, okay, cool. I didn't know we
were doing fortune cookies to get to the postseason in
the bullpen. I didn't know that.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Right.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
By the way, this is going to open up Dave
Roberts to criticism eventually.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
If they don't have.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
A you're doing it too.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Here's the thing, just ask no, We've had two calls
and now you the tone of all of them is
it's Dave Roberts fault. The first two calls, first album
with Dave ros Ay.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
First of all, nobody has washed Dave Roberts balls more
on this show than I have and I and I
say that proudly. I defend the guy all the time.
And I think this is maybe the best job he's
done as a manager since he's been with the Dodgers,
considering all that he's had to deal with, the injuries,
all the other stuff off the field, like I think
he's I think he's done a remarkable job and he
doesn't get enough credit. But it's September, the postseasons right
(22:13):
around the corner. We still don't have a clear answer
as to who the closer is, which has been an
issue in the past.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
I don't think he literally just irritated because of the pleasantries.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Being No, I'm not it has Fred hot right now.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
No, No, What has me hot and concerned is what
Jonas said he does to Dave Roberts, and that I
think your watching.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah, and I can say that proudly. Well, okay, hey, Fred,
you know the rules here nowadays. You can't judge me
for my tastes and my interests.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Oh that's true, it will be did you Oh did
you see the did you see the big video?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Did you have to watch it on the network level?
What do you mean the HR workplace video?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Well, listen, I've done mine, I've passed with Flying Colors.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
It was an hour. Did you watch it?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I did did you?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Really?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Yes? I mean I think it's I think it's wonderful
what the company does.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Well, look, legally they have to do it, but some
of those questions on there, they're pretty easy to answer.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Fred is just nuking everybody to know.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I'm not you're going after everybody. No, I'm not. Our
partners the company.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Fred, I don't think you're supposed to talk about our
personal iHeart radio tests that we have to take here.
Do you know, I think that's a bridge too far there.
Fred cares about like one of the questions. You know,
they have a scenario when somebody starts talking to do
it Fred, Oh no, I'm going to change it up, Ronnie,
I'm going to change it.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
By the way, stick around an hour three, Fred will
read off everybody's social Security number on there.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
You're nice knowing everybody signing out Rogan and Rodney for
the final time.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
What No, wasn't it like this? So you have somebody
who's a little overweight and they're talking to their boss, right.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
And they're on a zoom call.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah, and the boss is saying, I got to tell
you something, bill, uh, you know, you really need some
areas of improvement, and if you improve in these areas,
then I think things are gonna be great. And then
they drop something like this, and then the boss says
and by the way, if you weren't so fat, you'd
be able to do that. And then it stops immediately,
(24:16):
It stops immediately, and it's like, what, maybe, what's the
what wasn't that one was like? And then it says
should the boss have said these things? And it's like, no,
the boss shouldn't say that.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You make it seem like it's the pie eating contest,
and stand by me, the guys walking up to the
stage and they're like, hey, boy, are you fat? Like
what are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (24:40):
It's pretty blatant, and.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I know it was Adam.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
I feel like Fred is harassing the harassment training right now.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Let it go, Fred, take a call. My god, I
don't normally say that to you. All right, Fred, Please,
let's move on.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
No, can I just say one thing, just one thing.
I've got to dump it?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
No, No, you don't have to dump it because we
don't have this one anymore. So we used to have
an old one that you might remember. And in that one,
a woman walked up to the copy machine. Now wait
to hear the whole story. A woman walked up to
the copy machine and went to make a copy. And
you have these two people looking at her, and you
(25:22):
overhear their conversation and it's something like, hey boy, look
at her. Wow. And you know, somebody on the side
of the room overhears these two guys gawking at this woman.
And then it stops and said, you know, should they
have said that? Should this person report it?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
So I go to Foreman's across the street from my house.
It's like a Friday night. I get there like five o'clock,
it's early. I go when I order a drink. So
the bartender comes up and says, hey, how you doing.
And she serves me and I go, oh my god,
I know you. I know you.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
You were the.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Woman in the iHeart video where they were gawking at
you at the copy machine? All right, you know?
Speaker 3 (26:07):
She said, yes, I was ya. How do you think I.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
Looked like your autographed friend if you were gawking at her,
that's why you noticed that no friends violated your own
rules and regulations.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Friends like friends like friends like you made me want
to buy a copy machine.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Maybe she wanted to be anonymous, Fred and not have
somebody call her out like you did.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
And she didn't want to be anonymous. She's an actress
that was a gig she goes, Look, I took the job.
I took the job, but it was great.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, but those are those are real scenarios that should
be avoided by everybody.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yes, don't fool around with that. Yeah, and it happened,
reported to HR immediately.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Hey, it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
We haven't cut off Fred in this segment like we
do Vic every day, and this was the one to
get him.
Speaker 7 (26:51):
I mean, Fred's feeling pretty brave because he's in the desert.
He's not afraid of the boss is storming in the
studio saying what.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Would they say? What did I say?
Speaker 6 (26:59):
Fred?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
What did I say? That was wrong?
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Talk about pulling back the curtains.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I mean, I listen. I think you know. One thing
that we did establish here is that we've clearly identified
what the soft spot is for the Dodgers in the bullpen.
I think that was clearly.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
All Right, let's get Ronnie and Corona on because he's
got something to say. We're fine, that's great, taking your call, Ronnie.
How are you could use a Corona right now?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (27:21):
What's going on? Guys?
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Jonas?
Speaker 8 (27:23):
Ronnie?
Speaker 6 (27:23):
How you guys doing Fred? Who cares?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Are you not listening to? Wa?
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Ronnie I appreciate it. Man, How are you doing, how's
the family? How's everything outstanding?
Speaker 8 (27:35):
Obviously besides the bullpen and everybody's been talking about, I'm
just talking about the starting rotation going to the playoff series,
Like I don't even really know who our number one is.
Best case scenario, you got Yamamoto, Glass now Flaherty Stone,
but they're all still a little uh, you know, worth
the shaky because of injuries. And then also too with
so Will Smith, I don't know if he's like capable
(27:58):
of being in that number four or five spot that
he has. Guys been struggling batt and never is getting
lower and lower. He's not even plane more than three
or four times a week. And then you got Barnes
in there, that defensively struggling kitty and we all know
how he's doing. So just that, and also Monsy, it
was nice to see Monthsy in there last night against
(28:18):
the left he proved that he can hit a lefty
and hit the home run ball deep.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
All right, I appreciate it, Thanks Ronnie. Yeah, welse about that?
And not had a great year, you know who?
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Was kind of surprising because I haven't heard anybody else
say this but Bill Plunkett brought it up earlier. You know,
it Showeytani's numbers. You know, maybe he's starting to chase
the fifty to fifty.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
You're a bite your tongue. You don't say a bad
word about it.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I mean, look, I'm I'm as big a fan as anybody.
I want to see it. I think I think we're
going to see it. But I have just haven't heard
a lot of people say that. You know, maybe you know,
he just hasn't been as effective and maybe there's a
question mark about him in the postseason considering you know,
he doesn't have a whole lot of experience.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
He's going to be fine. Okay, I love when people
say that. I just I love that. Oh you know what,
this guy has no postseason experience. He's the best player
in baseball. He's going to be fine. He doesn't need
any postseason experience. He's the best player in baseball. He'll
be the National League mvat.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
It's funny, out of all the things that have been
said during this segment, that that's the one that you
took issue with. It's funny that's really that was the
one that did it for you.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
How dare you, Robert and Rancho Kook. Robert, life couldn't
be better. So good to talk to you. It's a pleasure.
What's on your mind?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
He dropped, Fred? How are you, Adam? How are you doing?
How's everything good?
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Jonas?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
It's just nice to be agreed like that.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
All right. Let's you know.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I'm not greeting you like that, all right? Rafael and
Chino Hills. Rafael, what do you have to say?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (29:55):
For me, it's just consistency of consistency from the bat,
from the start lineup to the bullpen. I mean, at
bat we could win ten to one, but then the
very next game lose ten to four. So I just
like to see consistency up and down the lineup, from
the top of the order to the bottom of the order.
But same for the pitching. You could have Buehler pitched
(30:18):
great in one game for a few innings, and then
the next time he gets blown out. Same as the bullpen,
Phillips be out there closing the game doing great. The
next thing you know, he blows the game from yesterday
all through the airs. They need to start being more
consistent on keeping the ball in play and keeping their
head down.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
All right, Thanks Rafe, I'll appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I mean, I'm great. I don't know why he didn't ask.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Well, you know why because he listens. Okay, because Rafee,
all I thought that was the best call we had.
I mean, that was the best call.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
All right.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
So the guy that cuts straight to the chase and
didn't offer any pleasantries or anything like that, that was
the best call. So that's that's how you want to
be greeted in public. Apparently, also, just no high how
are you? No small talk? Like you know, if a
waiter comes to the table, don't ask how my day is.
Just tell me what the apps are, what are the specials?
And yes we'll take another glass of wine. That's all
(31:09):
you want.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Well what do you need? I mean, how much time
do you have in life? Okay, you're a busy person.
All right, let's let's finish it up with Sean Longbeach.
Go ahead, Sean.
Speaker 10 (31:20):
Hey, guys, thank you for making my call. I think
the biggest problem is the energy level. The past two
years we've gone to the playoffs. You know, it's a
division rival and then boom we get steamrolled. I do think, however,
this year it will be different. We got guys who
have grit, who want to win. I like seeing clarity
the other two weeks ago against Randy Rose Arena, throwing
(31:42):
at him saying stuff. We need people like that on
the team, people that want to win, people that are
going out there and they want to change the game,
they want to win. I mean we are one and
six for our last six playoff games.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
I think this year is gonna be a lot better though,
And I also want to see what they're going to
do it Tony go. No one's mentioned that he did
a good yesterday and rehab she had a good rehab start.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
You're right, John, what do you tell me? He followed,
He followed the criteria according to you, and and just
cut straight to the chase. He didn't ask how we
were doing.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
He said, thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
All right, we don't need that.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
It's highly inappropriate. You are you are a world class
ball breaker.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
You know that now. You know what?
Speaker 1 (32:27):
In a world without rules, there is chaos. Do you
want to live in a chaotic world?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
I want to live in a world where people say
hi and by and are concerned with how my day is.
That's the world I want to live in. And apparently
you don't.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
No, I do want to.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
I want to live in that world when I'm walking around,
of course, but here everybody has something to say, and
I want to get as many people on as we can.
That's all I'm trying to do.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
I mean, you just celebrated the UGMO Awards.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Those are a few years back, okay, Like act think
it was pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Where we honor and give it award out to the
ugliest guy on the team.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I didn't create that award, Jonas. It wasn't me. It
was a team award that I was told about and
told to discuss, and then at that point they wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Talk to me anymore. Okay, Yeah, so whose fun is that?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
I don't know. Maybe some things are better left unsaid.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
You know, Tyreek Hill has something to say.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
What stories won't go away? It just won't go away.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
And we won't let it go away.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Next the outcome and basically there's not a lot more
to say except today. If you don't know the story,
Tyreek Hill was pulled over going to the game, the
Dolphin game on Sunday. They asked him to roll down
his window. That didn't go very well. I think the officers.
(33:54):
So tyreek Hill made a mistake there. Then the officer
certainly overreacted. I mean he made a mistake there, pulled
him out of the car and threw him down.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Uh I think that.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
You know, if you look at both sides, both there
in fault. Is one more in fault than the other. Well,
if one thing didn't happen, the other wouldn't have happened.
Right In any event, tyreek Hill now says what needs
to happen is the officer that pulled him out of
the car should be fired.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Okay, got it? Okay, listen, Like I know, nobody wants
to say this because it's maybe not the popular opinion.
Tyreek Hill was a tool like period, Like the guy
behaved like a tool when the cop showed up to
the car, and then the cop in turn acted like
a tool. I'm not trying to split a pie and
say who's got more percentage of the blame or whatnot.
(34:41):
There's equal blame there. Both, as we said yesterday, could
have handled the situation better. But we're just gonna call
for jobs like No, you learn from it, use it
as a teaching moment, and then you move forward. If
something more serious had happened, totally understand, And we've seen
officers get reprimanded before before that. Some have gone to
(35:02):
jail for a long periods of time as they should
have before that. But like, come on, man, like, like,
let's stop the well, we just got to call for jobs. No,
like you use it as a teaching moment, like if
you need to, you know, suspend or punish the officer
further to trying to appease everybody, Like fine, if you
need to move them to another department to get them away, fine,
(35:24):
but come on, what are we calling for jobs? Like? Like,
you could have handled the situation better too, dude, Like
you did not handle it the correct way and a
way in which nobody listening would ever assume. Oh, if
I do that and say that to a cop, don't
knock on my window like that and then roll the
window back up, that's gonna go well for me. Nobody
(35:45):
thinks that. So the whole thing's weird.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
All right, let's listen to it one more time. I
don't knock, don't knock?
Speaker 10 (35:54):
Why don't you have your no knock on my wind?
Speaker 5 (35:56):
Why don't you want to let that know?
Speaker 10 (35:59):
They would no, not from my window?
Speaker 8 (36:00):
Like why you have it up.
Speaker 10 (36:01):
Don't knock on my window like that.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Why you have it up?
Speaker 9 (36:03):
I do not to let you know I'm here.
Speaker 10 (36:05):
Don't waken nowhere and talk.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
To me in my ticket, bro, so I can go.
I'm finna lay. Hey, do what you gotta do.
Speaker 9 (36:12):
Let me keep it down.
Speaker 10 (36:14):
Hey, keep your window down?
Speaker 2 (36:19):
What?
Speaker 9 (36:25):
Hey? Keep your window down?
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Tell me what?
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Keep your window down.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
I'm gonna get you out of the car, I said, matterfu,
get out of the car, put me up, Get out of.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
The far let me break up for me.
Speaker 6 (36:35):
Get out of the car.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Hoping to get out. Get out of the car right now.
We're not playing this game. Get out, get it up.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Get out, get off, get out, get out?
Speaker 2 (36:46):
What part of problem?
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Hey, hey, dr getting the rest. I'm getting arrested. I'm
getting arrested, drouke, I'm getting up.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Let you twin. When we tell you to nothing you're doing?
You understand? You understand? How were you want?
Speaker 8 (37:03):
Well?
Speaker 3 (37:03):
When we tell you, bro, this isn't good? All right?
So that's what happened. The one thing I find interesting.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Uh, And I have to tell you, I just feel
the officer that yanked him out of the car did overreact.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Of course, I do believe that.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
But in all of the comments, unless I've missed them,
where did Tyreek Hill ever say, hey, I'm sorry for
the way I handled it at the beginning, And maybe
I'd missed that.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
I think he had a comment earlier, if I'm not mistaken,
where he might have acknowledged something like that. I haven't
seen the exact quote, but I think there was something
along those lines where, let me see if I've got
it here, he said he could have handled things better
with police, but it doesn't give them the right to
literally beat the dog out of me, was his quote,
(38:04):
which I mean, all right, so it's like it's like
an apology, but like a half apology to where you
you know, like dude to me, it's pretty cut and dry.
The problem is it creates a divide on social media,
and so this is where people run with it to
where now you're gonna take it it's you know, the cops,
and it stirs up all the same conversations that are
(38:25):
legitimate conversation to have, not dismissing any of that stuff.
They're real things that have happened to people. There's been
police brutality. Everybody knows that. And now we see it
more often when it does happen, but not all to
all those things are the same and this is not
like those. Tyreek Hill could have handled the situation better,
the cop could handle the situation better. Both were in
(38:47):
the wrong here. That to me seems pretty cut and dry.
But like nobody can take that.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Approach now what worked? From w I was gonna have
a word from Jake, But I jumped the gun.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
I jumped the gun, all right, when we come back,
David Basse joins us, I just get ready to wrap
things up with the Cubs. Dave reported Tiascar Hernandez back tonight.
We'll talk to him about that.
