Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, we continue on Fred Rogan Jonas Notchen today
for Rodneyout seventy LA Sports, so our one. We talked
a great deal about Otani's return to Anaheim, what that
would mean. We took some calls from Angel fans, a
lot of Angel fans as a matter of fact.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Yeah, I had a guy I don't know if he
yelled at me on social media, but he basically said,
I don't know where you're getting all these that whare
are the Angels fans? You know, look at our attendance numbers.
We'll say this based on just the numbers of attendance
in Major League Baseball, they are way higher up on
the list than I realized. A little over thirty thousand
(00:36):
a game there at Angel Stadium.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
They're always top ten, I mean always.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Why do you think that is?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
It's Anaheim. People want to see baseball. That's why. Okay,
it's a night at the ballpark. As you suggested, a
chance to get out. If you don't go to Disneyland
or the Dugs, what else are you gonna do in Anahem? Any?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, so go.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
There, spend the evening. They draw that is already Moreno
makes money, They do draw.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Right, off the freeway. Yeah, you know some some places
around there. Get a bite to eat right afterwards, you know,
get a get a bite to eat, maybe a cold
one beforehand, walk right in. Is it the Carls? I
think Carl Strauss Breweries over there? Tetro some money? Does
a does a remote from uh?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Right across the streets? Yeah? Everything about the one we
did from there, me and Rodney?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
No, how'd that go?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah? They sent us down there one day.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Uh. Zero promotion wasn't even mentioned on the air. We
sat outside. Not one person was there. You know, we
just aid high, we're brewing, and I thought, oh this
is cool. I mean the stadiums right across the street,
and we got a great view of it. You know.
The only guy that came by, God, no, there's one guy.
(01:57):
It was a homeless guy that walked by and asked
for money. I mean, hey, did you that was the
only guy? Did you give them the money? Yeah? We did, Yeah,
we did, so we'd go otherwise he would have stayed
the whole time here go et That was that was
our live shot from down there. We went down there,
there was zero promotion. It's like we walked in and
(02:19):
people said, what are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, like, hey, hey, what's with the microphones?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Why we're here? Well, where do you want us to
do it? Just do it outside? We're outside Jonas.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Now what time of year are we talking about? It
was baseball season, so hot as balls. Yeah, we sat
out there and did it for nobody, for ourselves. We
did it for ourselves, and we did it for our
loyal listeners. Yeah, but no one person came. Didn't even
know we were going to be there.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Were the Dodgers playing the Angels.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I can't remember. I don't think so. I don't think so.
I don't know why they sent us down there and
we did it. We've been there once.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And how long how many years ago was that?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I don't know, five six years now.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
When you go to do the remotes at Crony's in
Newbury Park, I mean places packed. Yeah, people are excited.
They love seeing you.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Guys when we do BJAS or packed two.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, but nobody even mentioned we were going. Do you understand.
It's like we were going to San Diego, but who
you know, Let's just pull off and get a bite
to eat here. And then when we pulled off, they
said why don't sit under the show. Oh okay, because
that's what it was like. It's the people that ran
knew we were going to.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Be It's like driving cross country when you didn't have
a map or a cell phone. You just stopped at
whatever place is next.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah, that was kind of the way we did it.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Now, who said a direct shot at? Is that a
direct shot at?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Dave?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Weese?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Like?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Who are you attacking?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Everybody? Okay, everybody? No one is safe. I just launched
a major bomb.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
A strongly worded email. Will do I don't know if
we need to air this out anymore?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Jesus, Oh, it was a long time ago. Anyway, Here
here's my point. You think I didn't have a point,
but I so when and Adam you can lay in
on this as the host of the Clipper Countdown, the
halftime show, in the postgame.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Show, are we still nuking the station?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Here? I mean, well, we're done?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Who else is getting it? Dave is cooked?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Jonas already? You know Jonas finished? Everybody?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Okay, what are you talking about? I didn't by you.
You know you can you phrase that differently next time?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Please?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Just like what you just said. All right, I'm not
going to be misrepresented here on the air anymore than
I already am.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Hey, Fred, people said that Anaheim's show one of your
best legend there.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I'll never forget it. I'll tell you that, all right, Adam.
When a when a former and I don't know this,
so I'm just asking you, when a former Clipper comes
to town, somebody who had spent time with the franchise,
uh and was beloved by the fan base. I swear to.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
God, if you shoe horn Sta and no, no, no, no,
no coming to Palm Springs, Fred, And I'm not going
to right hand.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
No this is Oh by the way, I'm going to
see you Thursday. I'm coming to see you Thursday. You
don't know that yet.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Oh yeah, I have the kids, all right?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Anyway, Do they ever do like a little tribute to
guys that used to play forms and Steve Bomber's on
the team.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah, there's always a video tribute. Paul George will get
one on November sixth when he comes into a doll.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Who's gotten the best one at a Clipper game yet? Adam?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Would you say Blake Griffin? And then I think he
gave him forty That was twenty eighteen. Somewhere in that ranch.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
So the Clippers do that.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Yeah, all right, it's the classy thing to do.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, it is Dodgers. They do it fair enough. Yeah, okay,
I know the Kings do it. Kings do it. Yeah.
I don't know if the Ducks do it or not,
but I think they're pretty classy. Do the Lakers do it?
They might or at least acknowledge the person, right, Yeah,
someone that had been with the franchise. So I found
(05:53):
out what the Angels are planning for Otani tonight. Oh yeah, yeah,
I just read the story alert and what are we
looking at? What do you think they're planning as we
sit here right now?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
How vindictive is Moreno as an owner.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
But listen, we don't know. Adam. You can lay in.
What do you think would be the appropriate thing for
the Angels to do for Otani tonight? Angel, I mean, Adam,
you start.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
A tribute video? Is in order?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
They have a couple of new jumbotrons there. I went
to a game a few weeks back. Now, I wouldn't
say it was anything close to even ninety percent full.
And they're playing the Atlanta Braves, which do draw everywhere
they go, and are having a decent season, but it
is somewhat shocking how many people show up to the
ballpark there and will tonight too.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
All right, so you're saying a video tribute would be
an order.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah, I would say nothing too flashy, nothing too creative,
because there's probably still some hurt feelings from people there
in the organization. But they'll do a tribute video. They'll
do the bare minimum just to say they did it
and to look classy.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Okay, so I know what they're gonna do because I
just read the story. So you guys think at the
very least video would be appropriate. Yeah, I mean maybe
a gift or something the bobblehead sure something right, Yeah, Oh,
here's what they're gonna do. Mm hmm, Okay, they're gonna
do this absolutely nothing. There are no plans to do anything.
(07:22):
There are no plans to do anything.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
You do not acknowledge the elephant in the room.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
There are no plans to do a single thing. I mean, now, wait,
wait to be there. A spokesperson says that could change,
that could change.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, prop to tribute.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
They're gonna pull up YouTube and place some of Otani's
highlights there.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
When when is first pitch six thirty six thirty eight.
They we've got a little bit about five hours. We'll
put something together in the meantime. What are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, their plan is nothing. They have no plan. We're
not now hitting shown.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Maybe maybe the plan is they're gonna have Rogan and
Rodney at Brewery X tomorrow's game. Maybe that's the plan.
See if they can see if they can line that
place uff with fans.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Like just I mean, but the initial reaction because initially, yeah,
they said, we have nothing planned. It could change, but
we have nothing planned. When when you're asked that question,
just if you even have to think about it, if
you even have to take a minute and think about
should we do something? And then if you get too
(08:32):
much heat, you go, my god, we better throw something
together here. Who knows how to edit in the back
room anybody.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
And and listen, it's a two game series. So you
have to do it this game like, you can't let
this game go and then give the tribute in game two.
It's the first game. You get it out of the way,
you celebrate them, you do all that, like you know
they had there was a return Hobby Baias return to
the Cubs, you know, won a World Series there, signed
this big money contract with the with the Tigers, and
(09:00):
so the Cubs did like a very special tribute to
him for all his years and the World Series and
all that stuff. And then he went on the first
game to strike out four times. So like that worked
out well for everybody. Like with Otani, you can't just
not do anything. Like they got it out of the way.
We moved on with our lives, and then the next
game people still showed up and all that. You can't
not do something the first game and then make it
(09:23):
look like you were pressured into doing something the second game.
So if this really is the move and they've got
nothing planned and first pitch is less than five hours
or look a little over five hours away, I kind
of I'll be honest, you know, a little bit ballsy,
little bit you know, double middle finger from Moreno and Company,
(09:46):
Like hey, listen, like congratulations, but you're not getting celebrated here.
You're not the enemy, Like I do kind of like
that approach, like don't cave to the pressure, just be
who you are and ride that all the way into
the ground.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
This is a unique situation because it's not like Otani
probably wanted to leave. He had to leave. This isn't
it's not you, it's me. No, it's you, it's the Angels.
It's their problem. So it's kind of their fan base
versus the organization here, and they don't want to draw
any more negative attention to themselves. Is the ones who
let Otani get away for nothing?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Let me, I got I got an idea. What do
you got Like if Arnie Moreno has got the balls? Yeah, Arty,
if you've got the balls and you are listening to
this show right now, I'm telling I think he does.
I'm telling you put together a two minute video of
every time Otani struck out. Just let that fire out, Like,
(10:38):
show your fan base who you are, all right, show
them why it was you that made sure nobody showed
up to the Rogan and Rodney remote across the street
years ago. All right, show them who you are. Put
together every blooper from Otani. Now it's probably not that many,
but every blooper and mishap from Otani's career with the Angels,
and roll that out for your fans to show him
(11:00):
who's boss. And then Otani goes and he hits his
fifty to fifty mark by tomorrow's game. Come on, throw
that Fred. Let's get vindictive here.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
How do they distract win Otani hits a home run
against them, either tonight or tomorrow, it's going to happen, Like,
how do you get away from it in that situation.
They're not gonna show it on the JumboTron. They're gonna
run and hide from this. Put a tarp over the field,
neck like it was raining. Oh, we gotta call the game,
go right the commercial.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Hey, let's see here. Direct TV and Disney did it.
You know, we want to go turn on a game
and all of a sudden, Oh, they're not they're fighting.
We can't we can't actually watch.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
It, right. Yeah, here's what they'll do. If he hits
that out of the park, immediately, they'll kill the power, right,
They'll kill the.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Power to make sure the game didn't count.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
He'll no, he'll struggle around, but touch the bases, right
because he'll still be able to see him if he's
down there. And the minute he's back in the duck out,
they'll turn the power back on. And that's what they'll do.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
It'd be like the natural somebody just blows up the
lights that's like the I mean, listen, you know that
was one of the big rumors that the Orioles had
to do that to try and keep cal Rifkins streak alive.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah, yeah, you know, unless there were some celebrities potentially
involved in that rumor as well.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I heard that. Yeah, I'm not going to speak it here,
but I did hear that.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I mean, why would we Fred?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
How bad did you want them to cut the power
for you on that remote.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Adam, To be quite honest with you, and I don't
know if it was just some sort of trick, but
I'm not even sure we were even on the air.
I know we were down there doing the show.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Do you imagine that, I.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Know we did a show. I don't think we had
a guess.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
My man, it was April Fools and Fred fell for it.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
What a dumb ass it was. It was a Clippers
matinee game, and Fred didn't know.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Down there banging it out doing the people's work with
one homeless guy standing there. One that was like the
live stot I did in Portland one hundred years ago
when the Lakers were in the playoffs and we were
standing outside doing the eleven o'clock news and I'm standing
there and the camera guy is set and the game
(13:07):
is over, and some guy you can see him coming
over my shoulder in the background. He's getting closer and
closer and closer. I'm on now, but he's getting closer
and closer, and as he gets close enough, he starts
going shekels, shekels, and it's getting louder and louder and louder.
And now he's standing right next to me going shekels.
(13:30):
So anyway, tonight, the Lakers jumped out to a fifteen
point lead, but then Portland battle.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
By shekels, shekels.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
So I look at the guy and I go, what
are you talking about? This is live? What are you
talking about? He goes shekels, And the next thing you
see the producer come in and just right out of
the shot.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Gone, did you hear the Jaws music as he got
closer there?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I should have felt it. I just should have felt it.
Get closer and.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Shekel Well, by the way, you know how you can
tell that that remote was like several years ago that
you mentioned at Brewery X, the fact that there was
only one homeless guy, because now they'd be at least fifteen.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Now a word from Jacob is it get into an
accident with a commercial van or truck or an eighteen wheeler,
do not try to deal with the insurance company on
your own. Trust me, the last thing you want to
do with the next day is except the first offer
they call you with. Those commercial drivers have special licenses
to operate those vehicles, and they also have a log
(14:34):
to daily activity with their employer. If you're injured in
an accident caused by an eighteen wheeler or commercial vehicle,
you need to call Jacob, our friend. Jacob and his
team know how to take care of you, what to
look for, whether the driver had been too long without
a break, or the load he was carying was unbalanced.
Many ways for Jacob's team to hold the commercial vehicle
company responsible, and by doing so, they're able to get
(14:55):
you the medical care and settlement you deserve, not the
one their insurance company wanted you to a except twelve
hours after the accident happened. And if you're preferring me
face to face, Jacob's team can come to you, or
you can go to Jacob's office. When you call it
a journey, you want one who was respected called Jacob.
He is the real deal. And remember the consultation is free.
Called Jacob at eight four four to twenty four Jacob
(15:15):
eight four four twenty four Jacob or visit called Jacob
dot com. All right, we have to have Vic coming up.
He'll come up later on, uh, later on in this hour.
So when we come back, I'm gonna give you a choice.
You want to hear about the Super Bowl remote where
somebody walked up to me again live on TV? Do
(15:37):
you want to relive the story of the fat guys
fighting and started two today with the Dodder game at
six thirty down in Anaheim. All right, So which is
the three do you want to hear? All right?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
So the options again for the new listeners' harassment at
a super Bowl, the White Sox and what was the third? Uh?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Fat guys fighting in Minneapolis?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Fatuys fighting in Minneapolis?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
You want this one?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
All right? So I've told this in the past. I
don't know if you've heard it. We would always do
live shots at eleven o'clock back to LA when the
Dodgers or Lakers were on the road and we would
be traveling. So they're in Minneapolis on this particular trip.
The first night we get there, we need to do
live shots. And the way it worked back in the
(16:28):
day is you needed scripts facts to you because remember
when you see somebody standing in another city and doing
a report, a sports report, they have no idea what
has happened. They're in another city, but you're doing kind
of a generic wrap up. And to be able to
do that, scripts are sent to you because you can't
write them because you can't see anything. Then you're simply
(16:49):
reading them. There raise the curtain a little bit. Yeah,
and back in the day, you needed facts. So we
set up in a location of Minneapolis, and I can't remember,
maybe we got there on a Sunday. We had to
do our first report and we weren't near anywhere with
a facts machine. So the producer went to a strip
(17:11):
club in Minneapolis and asked if we could borrow the
fax machine to have the script sent to us so
I could then turn around and read what someone else
had written back to TV on LA. And I'll tell
you this, that was not a strip club you wanted
to go to. I'll just say that. I'll just say
that why not, it was not. And by the way,
(17:31):
I don't go to strip clubs really, never have in
my life. It's just a thing I haven't but I
would not call this the most upscale joint I'd ever seen.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Well, I mean, look, it's not about you know, the
walls and the ceiling and the tile and the design inside.
It's about who's working.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah. Well I didn't get to really see a lot
of that, but given what I was able to see
as I walked in to pick up the facts, you
don't want to see that.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Listen, I got news for you. There's been a lot
of great players that have played in crappy facilities. Doesn't mean, though,
that there weren't any great players inside that place for Red.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, I think to say, I think it's safe to say,
you know, there were not any major leaguers there.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Okay, the milk's gone bad.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah, it was not good, all right. So that was
the first night. So now we're doing the live shots
in Minneapolis's central time, so that'd be one fifteen in
the morning eleven fifteen Los Angeles time. So we're up
at one fifteen in the morning, going live into LA
at eleven fifteen at night, and you know, there's really
nothing going on at one fifteen in the morning. So
(18:39):
we have this brilliant idea. We're going to do the
live shot next to the Mary Tyler Moore statue. You know,
who can turn the world down with a smile, who
can take a nothing day and suddenly seem it, suddenly
make it all seem worthwhile. So we're going to do
it next to the Mary Tyler Moore statue. It's a
brilliant idea. By the way, it's cold as hell. It
is cold, and.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
I don't like the cold. And time years is it was,
I can't remember, but it was cold because the uh
the the it was NBA playoffs, but it was cold
for whatever reason.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Okay, well, I mean it does stay cold out there,
you know, a little longer than okay.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
So we're out there and we're by the Mary Tyler
Moore statue, and of course you set up like at
twelve forty five in the morning, because they're two hours
ahead of us. Ten forty five. Here we go out there,
we get set up, got the camera position, there's the statue.
I'm sitting in the car because I'm freezing. I'm gonna
walk out just before it's time to go on, because
(19:38):
why am I gonna stand there? I'm not gonna stand
in the cold for a half hour. It makes no sense.
I'll just walk out. So about ten minutes before we're
supposed to go on, I go out. I get in
front of the camera. By the way, they were always
mad at me. Why can't you be in front of
the camera half hour ahead of time? I said, why
don't you go I'm not doing that. I'm not getting
there a half hour ahead of time. Thank you. I
know how to talk. I'll show up when I show
(20:00):
So I go out there ten minutes before we start.
Now we're five minutes away. I do the teas, so
two minutes from now we're going to start. So I'm set,
I've got my papers, I'm ready to go. And to
my left, you hear this commotion, and the commotion is
getting closer. Now it's not like a huge group of people,
(20:22):
but there's some arguing and there's some shouting. And I
look to my left and there are these four people.
They would be large girth people, men and women. And
the men are now shouting at each other. They are
shouting each at each other close enough where you can
kind of hear.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
It involved, like drinking involved or what.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah, I'm sure it was. I'm sure they were just toasted.
So there's shouting, there's yelling. It's closer, you can kind
of hear it. So since I'm on and I realized
I'm sitting here reading stuff written for me in Los
Angeles that I've never seen before and actually don't care about.
At that point, I tell the camera guy, Hey, turn
the camera over there. Look what's going on. So we
(21:06):
turned the camera to the two guys who are shouting,
and then they start fighting. They start fighting, and yeah,
they are drunk because one kind of hits the other
and they fall into the gutter and they roll on
top of each other and they're rolling around and they're fighting,
And the only thing I'm showing is this fight. I'm
supposed to be doing the sports, but I'm showing these
guys fighting and rolling on each other and trying to
(21:26):
punch each other and the women jumping in and screaming.
That went out for three and a half minutes. My
time was up, and I said back to.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
You, I mean, a couple of bohemoths and a Tory
Hunter Jersey just throwing down a nice little Donnie Brooke
that you got all unfitted, now, did you? Was that
during the live shot or that was the live shot. Okay,
so there's gotta be the ability to find that video somewhere.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I'm sure there's no there's no arc as you know
from doing things at NBC, there's really no archive. They
don't well because you know.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It might be in a heavyweight episode of bum Fights.
So do you remember bum Fights? That would like bum
Fights was really ahead of its time. While everyone's talking
about you know, World Star Hip Hop and all the
other fun little sits out there, bum Fights was like this.
They had different volumes to where you would just see
homeless guys throw down, like over a bag of cans.
(22:20):
I mean, like that is like, that's America baby right there.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
You know, did anyone receive a peanut butter and jelly
sandwich afterwards? After this?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Fright thread?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Or no?
Speaker 4 (22:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I mean, and they were rolling around and the women
were screaming, and you know, they couldn't get up because
they were too big, and one got stuck I think
in the gutter or the other one was laying on
top of them. And by the time the whole thing
was over, I mean the sports you know now it's
like eleven, it's eleven thirty here it's one thirty in
the morning. There we're done, I said, pack up, let's
get out of here. I don't even know what happened.
(22:53):
We just left. I don't know how it ended.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
You could have got the post fight interview at least.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, come on, like, if you're gonna do your job,
do it all all the way through, please.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
You could have offered him a juicy lucy. Did you
get a juicy lucy while you're out there? That's like
a big Minnesota thing.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
No, I did not. I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
It's a burger stuffed with cheese. Like if you look
at it, it's basically like they take two burger patties,
they put a chunk of cheese, cheddar cheese inside of it,
and then that's how they cook the burger patty. So
when you bite into it, I mean, it's just like
what it does to your insides. I don't even want
to know. But from what I hear, I've not had it,
(23:29):
but from what I hear, it's outstanding, is it. Yeah,
if you're into that sort of thing, who is it?
But I mean you're not. I mean you eat it
strip clubs apparently, and use the fax machine.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
So that ain't true.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Okay, well, that's not true, all right.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
No, I've never for whatever reason, I've never been a
fan of that. I just haven't gone.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Who goes, we need a fax machine?
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Where's the strip club?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
By the way.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
They gave Fredda, They gave fred a wink and they
said it's right next to the ATM machine. And you know,
you can only get ones out of this one.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It was the only business that was open. That's why
we picked that place.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
To ask a seven eleven nearby, there was nothing.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I don't know where we were we were. I don't
know why we picked that location. I don't know why.
I think it's because we went to check into the hotel, honestly,
and they put us thirty miles outside the city for
whatever reason. I think the company booked that hotel.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
What do you mean, for whatever reason? You know why?
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Okay? Yeah, but that ended quickly when we walked in
and there were hypodermic needles under the bed. Okay, Well,
and I called and I said, we're not staying here.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Some war hazards.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, it's yeah, we didn't stay there.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
You know, listen, Minnesota's out of its time now, you
say everywhere.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Right, you know who can shed some light on this,
Victor Brick. You'll have the daily haikup, thank God and
victod afternoon.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
He really enjoyed himself at Burning Man, but how to
fight a crazy dust took it out of the.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
New low.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I can't do this. That is the most. That's so disrespectful.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
You know that was good?
Speaker 2 (25:15):
That is the worst. Adam is right, that's the most
insult all.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Right before he was unceremoniously interrupted, Let's walk upon Vic
with the daily high coup and the introductions. Hello Vic.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
He's in for Rodney, who's covling over his Trojans, rising
tense spots in the latest AP College Football poll all
the way to number thirteen, but he's riding the Azul
train deep into the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Jonas knocks, shekels Poppy.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Yeah, in for Kevin Figures and he's counting down to
Clipper training camp in Honolulu.
Speaker 1 (26:06):

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Auslin Ship Clubs are my king cos y'all.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Back from vacation.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
Welcome back.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Ronnie Fossio still has a fact machine, y'all hits King flavor.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah, and you know where that leads us to?
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Geez what?
Speaker 6 (26:30):
Just right before we get to the haiku, which plastic. Well,
I know we have to just savor this weekend in
the desert with the Dodgers and the Snakes. Yes, I
mean it all started.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Friday night.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
I mean that was a large game. Remember kersh hurt,
the big toe, gave up the three runs after just
one inning, and you're saying, oh, I mean that's that's
a severe bummer.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
But the bullpen was was wild.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Freddie hit you know, this first of his four home
runs this weekend, a big two run shot. Then Brazier
Hudson trading Bonda did their thing, Will Smith three run shot,
Otani went deep. Remember it was ten to five and say, oh,
we're just going to cruise in.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
That was the winning blow.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Ten nine Dodgers on Friday night. Then Saturday, oh tiny
number forty four Mookie homer, Freddie homer, back to back
to back. I mean, four pitchers, three homers.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
That was nuts.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
But still, you know the Snakes are feisty, and enter
rookie Ben Casparius a one two three eighth inning, and
then our favorite Dodger who called into the show, Tommy
Edmund the clutch two out, two strike, two RBI single
made it eight six and the ninth that was the
(28:00):
winning blow Tommy Edmund and then Sunday forget it. That
was forget Forget Sunday because Monday was the game and
Freddie Freeman once again to run Homer early.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Ti Oscar five hits, Chris Taylor.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
A couple hits, Mooki three RBIs, Jack Flaherty strong five
and two thirds. Vessia, big situation in the six or
two guys on struck out del Castillo again, two red
Bulls with an Eto n Oi oulta chaser, and Vessia
is good to go.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Everyone played well, that packed the wall.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
Everyone played great. Oh Tony stole the three bases forty four,
forty five, forty six unbelievable series. So the Bulls and
now was five Cofaxes over the Padres, six cups over Arizona,
and Otani returns to Anaheim tonight. Walker Bulah next step
(29:06):
on his journey Morongo Casino. Dodgers on deck five thirty
with Tim Kates first pitch six thirty eight, listen right
here ran five seven the La Sports.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
I don't know about you, Vig, but it feels good
to be on the right side of this whole Dodger season.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
You have the confidence. You always had the confidence. Jay Knox,
you are not going to be sucked into the vacuum,
into the vortex.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
You and me.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
This is all others as well. It's a wonderful team.
It's a wonderful team. Everyone's stepping up. I mean, you
don't win the series without Tommy Edmond and that duck
two or two strike single to drive in the winning runs.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Former guests, Yeah, you need collect I.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
Mean Will Smith throwing out guys at second. You know,
Migi Rojas playing sensational baseball, making the tags, getting clutch hits.
I mean, you know, one through nine, everyone's contributed. Love
to see Chris Taylor capturing the way. It was just beautiful,
beautiful to watch, beautiful to see, and beautiful to listen to,
(30:09):
and quickly the greatest win of the Lincoln Riley era
for USC.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
That defense was ferocious. What happened there? They were in
the right place.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
That helps well, apparently they put on fourteen hundred pounds
of the team in the weight room gained fourteen hundred pounds,
and man, that defense was relentless.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
You're right, that was one. D Dan Tone Lynn for
money well spent.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
Dan Ton Lynn defensive coordinator out of UCLA money well
spent to get linnto USC.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I think it's one game. I think it was really
good and I hope the Trojans can continue like that.
What I really loved was seeing the big ten on
their jersey. I thought that looked cool. Well.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Also, I know it's just one game, but if you
look at USC compared to UCLA schedule US, he's got
the more manageable schedule by far, So this was it.
I know it's one win, but you know this was
one of their tougher games on their schedule and they
got it done.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
And special love Fellas you know Ezra Freck. We've been
following his amazing career for over a decade. He's a
power Olympic force of nature. Won the gold medal in
the one hundred meter dash at the Paris World Para
Olympic Games with an incredible lean to grab gold. Ezra
(31:33):
Dad's Clayton. You guys know Clayton. He texted me a
few days ago asking me to send a video for Ezra.
So I sent him some warrior mentality. And this kid
who we've covered since he was like ten, now he's nineteen.
Bless you, Ezra, he goes for more gold tonights in
the high jump, Ezra Freck.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
You know where that leads us too.
Speaker 6 (31:58):
To the hikouprid And so about Ezra, All about Ezra.
A painting of a rice cake does not satisfy his hunger.
Ezra on one leg, through insane adversity, thought greatness achieved greatness,
mad mad love. Ezra Freck inspires the world feeling you.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
What does the painting of a rice cake have to
do with that?
Speaker 6 (32:29):
It does not satisfy his hunger, Fred, His hunger is
to inspire, is to achieve greatness, no matter the situation.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Well, I thing, if anybody was hungry, a pinion of
a rice cake probably wouldn't do it.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
Glory and mentality, Fred, author mentality.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Victor Myron Jacobs. I don't know, I just made that up.
What's your middle name? Michael Okay, Victor, Michael jacobsk Ronnie,

Let's go.
Speaker 6 (33:12):
H
All right, we continue on Fred Rogan Jonas Notchen today
for Rodneyout seventy LA Sports, so our one. We talked
a great deal about Otani's return to Anaheim, what that
would mean. We took some calls from Angel fans, a
lot of Angel fans as a matter of fact.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Yeah, I had a guy I don't know if he
yelled at me on social media, but he basically said,
I don't know where you're getting all these that whare
are the Angels fans? You know, look at our attendance numbers.
We'll say this based on just the numbers of attendance
in Major League Baseball, they are way higher up on
the list than I realized. A little over thirty thousand
(00:36):
a game there at Angel Stadium.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
They're always top ten, I mean always.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Why do you think that is?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
It's Anaheim. People want to see baseball. That's why. Okay,
it's a night at the ballpark. As you suggested, a
chance to get out. If you don't go to Disneyland
or the Dugs, what else are you gonna do in Anahem? Any?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, so go.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
There, spend the evening. They draw that is already Moreno
makes money, They do draw.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Right, off the freeway. Yeah, you know some some places
around there. Get a bite to eat right afterwards, you know,
get a get a bite to eat, maybe a cold
one beforehand, walk right in. Is it the Carls? I
think Carl Strauss Breweries over there? Tetro some money? Does
a does a remote from uh?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Right across the streets? Yeah? Everything about the one we
did from there, me and Rodney?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
No, how'd that go?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah? They sent us down there one day.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Uh. Zero promotion wasn't even mentioned on the air. We
sat outside. Not one person was there. You know, we
just aid high, we're brewing, and I thought, oh this
is cool. I mean the stadiums right across the street,
and we got a great view of it. You know.
The only guy that came by, God, no, there's one guy.
(01:57):
It was a homeless guy that walked by and asked
for money. I mean, hey, did you that was the
only guy? Did you give them the money? Yeah? We did, Yeah,
we did, so we'd go otherwise he would have stayed
the whole time here go et That was that was
our live shot from down there. We went down there,
there was zero promotion. It's like we walked in and
(02:19):
people said, what are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, like, hey, hey, what's with the microphones?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Why we're here? Well, where do you want us to
do it? Just do it outside? We're outside Jonas.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Now what time of year are we talking about? It
was baseball season, so hot as balls. Yeah, we sat
out there and did it for nobody, for ourselves. We
did it for ourselves, and we did it for our
loyal listeners. Yeah, but no one person came. Didn't even
know we were going to be there.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Were the Dodgers playing the Angels.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I can't remember. I don't think so. I don't think so.
I don't know why they sent us down there and
we did it. We've been there once.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And how long how many years ago was that?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I don't know, five six years now.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
When you go to do the remotes at Crony's in
Newbury Park, I mean places packed. Yeah, people are excited.
They love seeing you.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Guys when we do BJAS or packed two.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, but nobody even mentioned we were going. Do you understand.
It's like we were going to San Diego, but who
you know, Let's just pull off and get a bite
to eat here. And then when we pulled off, they
said why don't sit under the show. Oh okay, because
that's what it was like. It's the people that ran
knew we were going to.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Be It's like driving cross country when you didn't have
a map or a cell phone. You just stopped at
whatever place is next.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah, that was kind of the way we did it.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Now, who said a direct shot at? Is that a
direct shot at?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Dave?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Weese?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Like?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Who are you attacking?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Everybody? Okay, everybody? No one is safe. I just launched
a major bomb.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
A strongly worded email. Will do I don't know if
we need to air this out anymore?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Jesus, Oh, it was a long time ago. Anyway, Here
here's my point. You think I didn't have a point,
but I so when and Adam you can lay in
on this as the host of the Clipper Countdown, the
halftime show, in the postgame.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Show, are we still nuking the station?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Here? I mean, well, we're done?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Who else is getting it? Dave is cooked?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Jonas already? You know Jonas finished? Everybody?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Okay, what are you talking about? I didn't by you.
You know you can you phrase that differently next time?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Please?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Just like what you just said. All right, I'm not
going to be misrepresented here on the air anymore than
I already am.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Hey, Fred, people said that Anaheim's show one of your
best legend there.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I'll never forget it. I'll tell you that, all right, Adam.
When a when a former and I don't know this,
so I'm just asking you, when a former Clipper comes
to town, somebody who had spent time with the franchise,
uh and was beloved by the fan base. I swear to.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
God, if you shoe horn Sta and no, no, no, no,
no coming to Palm Springs, Fred, And I'm not going
to right hand.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
No this is Oh by the way, I'm going to
see you Thursday. I'm coming to see you Thursday. You
don't know that yet.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Oh yeah, I have the kids, all right?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Anyway, Do they ever do like a little tribute to
guys that used to play forms and Steve Bomber's on
the team.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah, there's always a video tribute. Paul George will get
one on November sixth when he comes into a doll.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Who's gotten the best one at a Clipper game yet? Adam?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Would you say Blake Griffin? And then I think he
gave him forty That was twenty eighteen. Somewhere in that ranch.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
So the Clippers do that.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Yeah, all right, it's the classy thing to do.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, it is Dodgers. They do it fair enough. Yeah, okay,
I know the Kings do it. Kings do it. Yeah.
I don't know if the Ducks do it or not,
but I think they're pretty classy. Do the Lakers do it?
They might or at least acknowledge the person, right, Yeah,
someone that had been with the franchise. So I found
(05:53):
out what the Angels are planning for Otani tonight. Oh yeah, yeah,
I just read the story alert and what are we
looking at? What do you think they're planning as we
sit here right now?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
How vindictive is Moreno as an owner.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
But listen, we don't know. Adam. You can lay in.
What do you think would be the appropriate thing for
the Angels to do for Otani tonight? Angel, I mean, Adam,
you start.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
A tribute video? Is in order?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
They have a couple of new jumbotrons there. I went
to a game a few weeks back. Now, I wouldn't
say it was anything close to even ninety percent full.
And they're playing the Atlanta Braves, which do draw everywhere
they go, and are having a decent season, but it
is somewhat shocking how many people show up to the
ballpark there and will tonight too.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
All right, so you're saying a video tribute would be
an order.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah, I would say nothing too flashy, nothing too creative,
because there's probably still some hurt feelings from people there
in the organization. But they'll do a tribute video. They'll
do the bare minimum just to say they did it
and to look classy.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Okay, so I know what they're gonna do because I
just read the story. So you guys think at the
very least video would be appropriate. Yeah, I mean maybe
a gift or something the bobblehead sure something right, Yeah, Oh,
here's what they're gonna do. Mm hmm, Okay, they're gonna
do this absolutely nothing. There are no plans to do anything.
(07:22):
There are no plans to do anything.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
You do not acknowledge the elephant in the room.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
There are no plans to do a single thing. I mean, now, wait,
wait to be there. A spokesperson says that could change,
that could change.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, prop to tribute.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
They're gonna pull up YouTube and place some of Otani's
highlights there.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
When when is first pitch six thirty six thirty eight.
They we've got a little bit about five hours. We'll
put something together in the meantime. What are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, their plan is nothing. They have no plan. We're
not now hitting shown.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Maybe maybe the plan is they're gonna have Rogan and
Rodney at Brewery X tomorrow's game. Maybe that's the plan.
See if they can see if they can line that
place uff with fans.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Like just I mean, but the initial reaction because initially, yeah,
they said, we have nothing planned. It could change, but
we have nothing planned. When when you're asked that question,
just if you even have to think about it, if
you even have to take a minute and think about
should we do something? And then if you get too
(08:32):
much heat, you go, my god, we better throw something
together here. Who knows how to edit in the back
room anybody.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
And and listen, it's a two game series. So you
have to do it this game like, you can't let
this game go and then give the tribute in game two.
It's the first game. You get it out of the way,
you celebrate them, you do all that, like you know
they had there was a return Hobby Baias return to
the Cubs, you know, won a World Series there, signed
this big money contract with the with the Tigers, and
(09:00):
so the Cubs did like a very special tribute to
him for all his years and the World Series and
all that stuff. And then he went on the first
game to strike out four times. So like that worked
out well for everybody. Like with Otani, you can't just
not do anything. Like they got it out of the way.
We moved on with our lives, and then the next
game people still showed up and all that. You can't
not do something the first game and then make it
(09:23):
look like you were pressured into doing something the second game.
So if this really is the move and they've got
nothing planned and first pitch is less than five hours
or look a little over five hours away, I kind
of I'll be honest, you know, a little bit ballsy,
little bit you know, double middle finger from Moreno and Company,
(09:46):
Like hey, listen, like congratulations, but you're not getting celebrated here.
You're not the enemy, Like I do kind of like
that approach, like don't cave to the pressure, just be
who you are and ride that all the way into
the ground.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
This is a unique situation because it's not like Otani
probably wanted to leave. He had to leave. This isn't
it's not you, it's me. No, it's you, it's the Angels.
It's their problem. So it's kind of their fan base
versus the organization here, and they don't want to draw
any more negative attention to themselves. Is the ones who
let Otani get away for nothing?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Let me, I got I got an idea. What do
you got Like if Arnie Moreno has got the balls? Yeah, Arty,
if you've got the balls and you are listening to
this show right now, I'm telling I think he does.
I'm telling you put together a two minute video of
every time Otani struck out. Just let that fire out, Like,
(10:38):
show your fan base who you are, all right, show
them why it was you that made sure nobody showed
up to the Rogan and Rodney remote across the street
years ago. All right, show them who you are. Put
together every blooper from Otani. Now it's probably not that many,
but every blooper and mishap from Otani's career with the Angels,
and roll that out for your fans to show him
(11:00):
who's boss. And then Otani goes and he hits his
fifty to fifty mark by tomorrow's game. Come on, throw
that Fred. Let's get vindictive here.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
How do they distract win Otani hits a home run
against them, either tonight or tomorrow, it's going to happen, Like,
how do you get away from it in that situation.
They're not gonna show it on the JumboTron. They're gonna
run and hide from this. Put a tarp over the field,
neck like it was raining. Oh, we gotta call the game,
go right the commercial.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Hey, let's see here. Direct TV and Disney did it.
You know, we want to go turn on a game
and all of a sudden, Oh, they're not they're fighting.
We can't we can't actually watch.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
It, right. Yeah, here's what they'll do. If he hits
that out of the park, immediately, they'll kill the power, right,
They'll kill the.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Power to make sure the game didn't count.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
He'll no, he'll struggle around, but touch the bases, right
because he'll still be able to see him if he's
down there. And the minute he's back in the duck out,
they'll turn the power back on. And that's what they'll do.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
It'd be like the natural somebody just blows up the
lights that's like the I mean, listen, you know that
was one of the big rumors that the Orioles had
to do that to try and keep cal Rifkins streak alive.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah, yeah, you know, unless there were some celebrities potentially
involved in that rumor as well.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I heard that. Yeah, I'm not going to speak it here,
but I did hear that.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I mean, why would we Fred?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
How bad did you want them to cut the power
for you on that remote.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Adam, To be quite honest with you, and I don't
know if it was just some sort of trick, but
I'm not even sure we were even on the air.
I know we were down there doing the show.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Do you imagine that, I.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Know we did a show. I don't think we had
a guess.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
My man, it was April Fools and Fred fell for it.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
What a dumb ass it was. It was a Clippers
matinee game, and Fred didn't know.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Down there banging it out doing the people's work with
one homeless guy standing there. One that was like the
live stot I did in Portland one hundred years ago
when the Lakers were in the playoffs and we were
standing outside doing the eleven o'clock news and I'm standing
there and the camera guy is set and the game
(13:07):
is over, and some guy you can see him coming
over my shoulder in the background. He's getting closer and
closer and closer. I'm on now, but he's getting closer
and closer, and as he gets close enough, he starts
going shekels, shekels, and it's getting louder and louder and louder.
And now he's standing right next to me going shekels.
(13:30):
So anyway, tonight, the Lakers jumped out to a fifteen
point lead, but then Portland battle.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
By shekels, shekels.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
So I look at the guy and I go, what
are you talking about? This is live? What are you
talking about? He goes shekels, And the next thing you
see the producer come in and just right out of
the shot.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Gone, did you hear the Jaws music as he got
closer there?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I should have felt it. I just should have felt it.
Get closer and.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Shekel Well, by the way, you know how you can
tell that that remote was like several years ago that
you mentioned at Brewery X, the fact that there was
only one homeless guy, because now they'd be at least fifteen.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Now a word from Jacob is it get into an
accident with a commercial van or truck or an eighteen wheeler,
do not try to deal with the insurance company on
your own. Trust me, the last thing you want to
do with the next day is except the first offer
they call you with. Those commercial drivers have special licenses
to operate those vehicles, and they also have a log
(14:34):
to daily activity with their employer. If you're injured in
an accident caused by an eighteen wheeler or commercial vehicle,
you need to call Jacob, our friend. Jacob and his
team know how to take care of you, what to
look for, whether the driver had been too long without
a break, or the load he was carying was unbalanced.
Many ways for Jacob's team to hold the commercial vehicle
company responsible, and by doing so, they're able to get
(14:55):
you the medical care and settlement you deserve, not the
one their insurance company wanted you to a except twelve
hours after the accident happened. And if you're preferring me
face to face, Jacob's team can come to you, or
you can go to Jacob's office. When you call it
a journey, you want one who was respected called Jacob.
He is the real deal. And remember the consultation is free.
Called Jacob at eight four four to twenty four Jacob
(15:15):
eight four four twenty four Jacob or visit called Jacob
dot com. All right, we have to have Vic coming up.
He'll come up later on, uh, later on in this hour.
So when we come back, I'm gonna give you a choice.
You want to hear about the Super Bowl remote where
somebody walked up to me again live on TV? Do
(15:37):
you want to relive the story of the fat guys
fighting and started two today with the Dodder game at
six thirty down in Anaheim. All right, So which is
the three do you want to hear? All right?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
So the options again for the new listeners' harassment at
a super Bowl, the White Sox and what was the third? Uh?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Fat guys fighting in Minneapolis?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Fatuys fighting in Minneapolis?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
You want this one?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
All right? So I've told this in the past. I
don't know if you've heard it. We would always do
live shots at eleven o'clock back to LA when the
Dodgers or Lakers were on the road and we would
be traveling. So they're in Minneapolis on this particular trip.
The first night we get there, we need to do
live shots. And the way it worked back in the
(16:28):
day is you needed scripts facts to you because remember
when you see somebody standing in another city and doing
a report, a sports report, they have no idea what
has happened. They're in another city, but you're doing kind
of a generic wrap up. And to be able to
do that, scripts are sent to you because you can't
write them because you can't see anything. Then you're simply
(16:49):
reading them. There raise the curtain a little bit. Yeah,
and back in the day, you needed facts. So we
set up in a location of Minneapolis, and I can't remember,
maybe we got there on a Sunday. We had to
do our first report and we weren't near anywhere with
a facts machine. So the producer went to a strip
(17:11):
club in Minneapolis and asked if we could borrow the
fax machine to have the script sent to us so
I could then turn around and read what someone else
had written back to TV on LA. And I'll tell
you this, that was not a strip club you wanted
to go to. I'll just say that. I'll just say
that why not, it was not. And by the way,
(17:31):
I don't go to strip clubs really, never have in
my life. It's just a thing I haven't but I
would not call this the most upscale joint I'd ever seen.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Well, I mean, look, it's not about you know, the
walls and the ceiling and the tile and the design inside.
It's about who's working.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah. Well I didn't get to really see a lot
of that, but given what I was able to see
as I walked in to pick up the facts, you
don't want to see that.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Listen, I got news for you. There's been a lot
of great players that have played in crappy facilities. Doesn't mean, though,
that there weren't any great players inside that place for Red.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, I think to say, I think it's safe to say,
you know, there were not any major leaguers there.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Okay, the milk's gone bad.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah, it was not good, all right. So that was
the first night. So now we're doing the live shots
in Minneapolis's central time, so that'd be one fifteen in
the morning eleven fifteen Los Angeles time. So we're up
at one fifteen in the morning, going live into LA
at eleven fifteen at night, and you know, there's really
nothing going on at one fifteen in the morning. So
(18:39):
we have this brilliant idea. We're going to do the
live shot next to the Mary Tyler Moore statue. You know,
who can turn the world down with a smile, who
can take a nothing day and suddenly seem it, suddenly
make it all seem worthwhile. So we're going to do
it next to the Mary Tyler Moore statue. It's a
brilliant idea. By the way, it's cold as hell. It
is cold, and.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
I don't like the cold. And time years is it was,
I can't remember, but it was cold because the uh
the the it was NBA playoffs, but it was cold
for whatever reason.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Okay, well, I mean it does stay cold out there,
you know, a little longer than okay.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
So we're out there and we're by the Mary Tyler
Moore statue, and of course you set up like at
twelve forty five in the morning, because they're two hours
ahead of us. Ten forty five. Here we go out there,
we get set up, got the camera position, there's the statue.
I'm sitting in the car because I'm freezing. I'm gonna
walk out just before it's time to go on, because
(19:38):
why am I gonna stand there? I'm not gonna stand
in the cold for a half hour. It makes no sense.
I'll just walk out. So about ten minutes before we're
supposed to go on, I go out. I get in
front of the camera. By the way, they were always
mad at me. Why can't you be in front of
the camera half hour ahead of time? I said, why
don't you go I'm not doing that. I'm not getting
there a half hour ahead of time. Thank you. I
know how to talk. I'll show up when I show
(20:00):
So I go out there ten minutes before we start.
Now we're five minutes away. I do the teas, so
two minutes from now we're going to start. So I'm set,
I've got my papers, I'm ready to go. And to
my left, you hear this commotion, and the commotion is
getting closer. Now it's not like a huge group of people,
(20:22):
but there's some arguing and there's some shouting. And I
look to my left and there are these four people.
They would be large girth people, men and women. And
the men are now shouting at each other. They are
shouting each at each other close enough where you can
kind of hear.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
It involved, like drinking involved or what.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah, I'm sure it was. I'm sure they were just toasted.
So there's shouting, there's yelling. It's closer, you can kind
of hear it. So since I'm on and I realized
I'm sitting here reading stuff written for me in Los
Angeles that I've never seen before and actually don't care about.
At that point, I tell the camera guy, Hey, turn
the camera over there. Look what's going on. So we
(21:06):
turned the camera to the two guys who are shouting,
and then they start fighting. They start fighting, and yeah,
they are drunk because one kind of hits the other
and they fall into the gutter and they roll on
top of each other and they're rolling around and they're fighting,
And the only thing I'm showing is this fight. I'm
supposed to be doing the sports, but I'm showing these
guys fighting and rolling on each other and trying to
(21:26):
punch each other and the women jumping in and screaming.
That went out for three and a half minutes. My
time was up, and I said back to.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
You, I mean, a couple of bohemoths and a Tory
Hunter Jersey just throwing down a nice little Donnie Brooke
that you got all unfitted, now, did you? Was that
during the live shot or that was the live shot. Okay,
so there's gotta be the ability to find that video somewhere.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I'm sure there's no there's no arc as you know
from doing things at NBC, there's really no archive. They
don't well because you know.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It might be in a heavyweight episode of bum Fights.
So do you remember bum Fights? That would like bum
Fights was really ahead of its time. While everyone's talking
about you know, World Star Hip Hop and all the
other fun little sits out there, bum Fights was like this.
They had different volumes to where you would just see
homeless guys throw down, like over a bag of cans.
(22:20):
I mean, like that is like, that's America baby right there.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
You know, did anyone receive a peanut butter and jelly
sandwich afterwards? After this?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Fright thread?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Or no?
Speaker 4 (22:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I mean, and they were rolling around and the women
were screaming, and you know, they couldn't get up because
they were too big, and one got stuck I think
in the gutter or the other one was laying on
top of them. And by the time the whole thing
was over, I mean the sports you know now it's
like eleven, it's eleven thirty here it's one thirty in
the morning. There we're done, I said, pack up, let's
get out of here. I don't even know what happened.
(22:53):
We just left. I don't know how it ended.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
You could have got the post fight interview at least.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, come on, like, if you're gonna do your job,
do it all all the way through, please.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
You could have offered him a juicy lucy. Did you
get a juicy lucy while you're out there? That's like
a big Minnesota thing.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
No, I did not. I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
It's a burger stuffed with cheese. Like if you look
at it, it's basically like they take two burger patties,
they put a chunk of cheese, cheddar cheese inside of it,
and then that's how they cook the burger patty. So
when you bite into it, I mean, it's just like
what it does to your insides. I don't even want
to know. But from what I hear, I've not had it,
(23:29):
but from what I hear, it's outstanding, is it. Yeah,
if you're into that sort of thing, who is it?
But I mean you're not. I mean you eat it
strip clubs apparently, and use the fax machine.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
So that ain't true.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Okay, well, that's not true, all right.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
No, I've never for whatever reason, I've never been a
fan of that. I just haven't gone.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Who goes, we need a fax machine?
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Where's the strip club?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
By the way.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
They gave Fredda, They gave fred a wink and they
said it's right next to the ATM machine. And you know,
you can only get ones out of this one.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It was the only business that was open. That's why
we picked that place.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
To ask a seven eleven nearby, there was nothing.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I don't know where we were we were. I don't
know why we picked that location. I don't know why.
I think it's because we went to check into the hotel, honestly,
and they put us thirty miles outside the city for
whatever reason. I think the company booked that hotel.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
What do you mean, for whatever reason? You know why?
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Okay? Yeah, but that ended quickly when we walked in
and there were hypodermic needles under the bed. Okay, Well,
and I called and I said, we're not staying here.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Some war hazards.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, it's yeah, we didn't stay there.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
You know, listen, Minnesota's out of its time now, you
say everywhere.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Right, you know who can shed some light on this,
Victor Brick. You'll have the daily haikup, thank God and
victod afternoon.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
He really enjoyed himself at Burning Man, but how to
fight a crazy dust took it out of the.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
New low.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I can't do this. That is the most. That's so disrespectful.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
You know that was good?
Speaker 2 (25:15):
That is the worst. Adam is right, that's the most
insult all.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Right before he was unceremoniously interrupted, Let's walk upon Vic
with the daily high coup and the introductions. Hello Vic.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
He's in for Rodney, who's covling over his Trojans, rising
tense spots in the latest AP College Football poll all
the way to number thirteen, but he's riding the Azul
train deep into the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (25:51):

Welcome back.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Ronnie Fossio still has a fact machine, y'all hits King flavor.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah, and you know where that leads us to?
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Geez what?
Speaker 6 (26:30):
Just right before we get to the haiku, which plastic. Well,
I know we have to just savor this weekend in
the desert with the Dodgers and the Snakes. Yes, I
mean it all started.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Friday night.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
I mean that was a large game. Remember kersh hurt,
the big toe, gave up the three runs after just
one inning, and you're saying, oh, I mean that's that's
a severe bummer.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
But the bullpen was was wild.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Freddie hit you know, this first of his four home
runs this weekend, a big two run shot. Then Brazier
Hudson trading Bonda did their thing, Will Smith three run shot,
Otani went deep. Remember it was ten to five and say, oh,
we're just going to cruise in.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
That was the winning blow.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Ten nine Dodgers on Friday night. Then Saturday, oh tiny
number forty four Mookie homer, Freddie homer, back to back
to back. I mean, four pitchers, three homers.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
That was nuts.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
But still, you know the Snakes are feisty, and enter
rookie Ben Casparius a one two three eighth inning, and
then our favorite Dodger who called into the show, Tommy
Edmund the clutch two out, two strike, two RBI single
made it eight six and the ninth that was the
(28:00):
winning blow Tommy Edmund and then Sunday forget it. That
was forget Forget Sunday because Monday was the game and
Freddie Freeman once again to run Homer early.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Ti Oscar five hits, Chris Taylor.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
A couple hits, Mooki three RBIs, Jack Flaherty strong five
and two thirds. Vessia, big situation in the six or
two guys on struck out del Castillo again, two red
Bulls with an Eto n Oi oulta chaser, and Vessia
is good to go.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Everyone played well, that packed the wall.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
Everyone played great. Oh Tony stole the three bases forty four,
forty five, forty six unbelievable series. So the Bulls and
now was five Cofaxes over the Padres, six cups over Arizona,
and Otani returns to Anaheim tonight. Walker Bulah next step
(29:06):
on his journey Morongo Casino. Dodgers on deck five thirty
with Tim Kates first pitch six thirty eight, listen right
here ran five seven the La Sports.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
I don't know about you, Vig, but it feels good
to be on the right side of this whole Dodger season.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
You have the confidence. You always had the confidence. Jay Knox,
you are not going to be sucked into the vacuum,
into the vortex.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
You and me.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
This is all others as well. It's a wonderful team.
It's a wonderful team. Everyone's stepping up. I mean, you
don't win the series without Tommy Edmond and that duck
two or two strike single to drive in the winning runs.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Former guests, Yeah, you need collect I.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
Mean Will Smith throwing out guys at second. You know,
Migi Rojas playing sensational baseball, making the tags, getting clutch hits.
I mean, you know, one through nine, everyone's contributed. Love
to see Chris Taylor capturing the way. It was just beautiful,
beautiful to watch, beautiful to see, and beautiful to listen to,
(30:09):
and quickly the greatest win of the Lincoln Riley era
for USC.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
That defense was ferocious. What happened there? They were in
the right place.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
That helps well, apparently they put on fourteen hundred pounds
of the team in the weight room gained fourteen hundred pounds,
and man, that defense was relentless.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
You're right, that was one. D Dan Tone Lynn for
money well spent.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
Dan Ton Lynn defensive coordinator out of UCLA money well
spent to get linnto USC.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I think it's one game. I think it was really
good and I hope the Trojans can continue like that.
What I really loved was seeing the big ten on
their jersey. I thought that looked cool. Well.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Also, I know it's just one game, but if you
look at USC compared to UCLA schedule US, he's got
the more manageable schedule by far, So this was it.
I know it's one win, but you know this was
one of their tougher games on their schedule and they
got it done.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
And special love Fellas you know Ezra Freck. We've been
following his amazing career for over a decade. He's a
power Olympic force of nature. Won the gold medal in
the one hundred meter dash at the Paris World Para
Olympic Games with an incredible lean to grab gold. Ezra

Dad's Clayton. You guys know Clayton. He texted me a
few days ago asking me to send a video for Ezra.
So I sent him some warrior mentality. And this kid
who we've covered since he was like ten, now he's nineteen.
Bless you, Ezra, he goes for more gold tonights in
the high jump, Ezra Freck.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
You know where that leads us too.
Speaker 6 (31:58):
To the hikouprid And so about Ezra, All about Ezra.
A painting of a rice cake does not satisfy his hunger.
Ezra on one leg, through insane adversity, thought greatness achieved greatness,
mad mad love. Ezra Freck inspires the world feeling you.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
What does the painting of a rice cake have to
do with that?
Speaker 6 (32:29):
It does not satisfy his hunger, Fred, His hunger is
to inspire, is to achieve greatness, no matter the situation.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Well, I thing, if anybody was hungry, a pinion of
a rice cake probably wouldn't do it.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
Glory and mentality, Fred, author mentality.
