Speaker 1 (00:00):
The injury up day for the Seahawks is out here
we go. Julian Love did not participate today, Leonard Williams limited,
Devin Witherspoon full participation.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Terry mclaur for the Commanders by the way, not playing
in this game on Sunday night, and Larry My Tunsel,
their left tackle, also sat out practice today.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
So you want to add anything or you want to
sure this is for the quote.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Nobody watches the NBA crowd opening week on ESPN, NBC
Prime Video nearly three million viewers on average, making it
the most watched since twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I do have a bunch of fart noises on my deal.
You have like an know, it's just part of like a.
It's part of a it's called pull my finger comes.
I'm gonna say it.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
You know this our World Series talk?
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Guys. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Would you rather hear that or Blue Jay's Dodgers conversation?
Speaker 5 (01:06):
I think when I tell people going, Andy, Hey, where
do you work?
Speaker 6 (01:10):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I work in sports radio. You guys played fart noises all, Yeah,
that's what we do here.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
By the way, we do have some breaking news from
minority Dodgers owner Magic Johnson.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Okay, that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I mean serious analysis here, Jackson. Have you seen this
from Magic?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Magic Johnson reported five hours ago on Twitter ten to
fourteen am in the morning. At Magic Johnson, you ready
for this? With the series being two to two, game
five is very important. Whichever team wins takes control of
the series, says Magic Johnson on social media. He and
(01:51):
coach late late the other night, which I responded, no way,
no way. Have you ever heard of Ron Fairley Jackson? Okay,
you think everybody in the audience knows who Ron Fairly is.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I need a job shadow into Ron Fairly. Really know,
if you do well at this job, shadow, you might
get the job. Did you know Ron fairly obvious facts
to you?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Very much?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
He did drop a You know, usually the team who
hits more home runs in the game is going to
come out as a winner. I remember because I wrote
that down, like, no, that doesn't sound right.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Well, we used to do a segment called Fairly Obvious
Facts with me and Steve Sandmeyer and we would just
hammer him and all that. And I mean he passed
away about six years ago. May rest in peace, but
he was an al timer man. I mean he was.
He was actually on the call when Griffy had his
eighth home run in a row. It was a phenomenal call,
great call by Ron Fairly, and he was just mister obvious.
(02:50):
You know, the EMS would fall behind five to four,
and he'd go on the air and say, oh, this
looks like the kind of game the MS may have
to score six runs to win.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Things like that.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
But it was his stick, right, Like even knee house,
you guys know towards the knee house would say things like,
you know, a fly ball deep to left field caught
by the shortstop, right, I mean that, But it was
okay because it was Dave Natchel saying that's right.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
And and those those guys earn the right to be
able to do that, right, absolutely, they stick around forty years,
You got that, you earn the right to do that.
I'm sure the same with for UK in Milwaukee.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, yeah, well he Magic Johnson also wrote two nights ago.
Choiotani hits two home runs in Game three against Toronto Ords.
Cannot explain how great he is, says Magic Johnson. I mean,
it's just go look at Magic Johnson's Twitter account.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
By the way, it is unbelievable, Like, does he not know?
Does nobody tell him? Is this a stick? Does he
do care?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Does he do it on purpose? Please tell me he's
doing this stuff on purpose.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
He's probably worth a billion dollars. He does not cared,
but I know that.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
But he's got to wake up and know that this
is just the most obvious craft that he's putting out
there on Twitter and people are thinking either A, there's
something wrong with you man, or B. This has got
to be a stick. It's got to be if.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Nobody's willing to say that to his face.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Oh why why? He seems like a nice guy that
is magic? Who doesn't like magic?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Well that's Petros when he comes out of four twenty today,
but magic Johnson. So anyway, Seahawks commanders, we got the
injury update there. Devin Witherspoon will see on him. I'm
more intrigued by the commander's injury update. With Terry McLaurin
not playing at the game. Jackson, we took a factor fixtion.
We took the Hawks minus the points on Sunday night.
I don't know if a wide receiver is gonna move
the line that much in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
You know, especially a guy.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Like McLaurin, by the way, but they are the Hawks
are given three and a half, which basically means according
to Magic Johnson if the game were at home in Seattle,
Vegas thinks the Hawks are almost a touchdown better than
the Command.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
More than a touchdown better. I think, be over a touchdown.
I think when you look at what their running game
has done the last three weeks with Jacrossky Merrit Acrossky.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Merrit Bill as we call him.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yes, after he had the breakout game on October over
the fifth against the Chargers, he has gone seventeen for
sixty one three point six yards of carry. He's gone
thirteen for thirty three against Dallas Dallas's defense for two
point five yards of carry, and then this last game
against Kansas City had twenty five yards on two point
eight yards per carry.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
They're gonna be.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
A one dimensional offense without their leading receiver.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
By the way, rough you know Jackson who leads the
NFL in run defense right now, both in rushing yards
and yards per carry?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Is it is it really? Damn No, it's us. It's
the seas Us. The Seahawks are number one in the
NFL in rushing defense.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
They were twenty six a year ago, and now they're
number one in both total yards and yards per carry.
They're thirty first in rushing offense, by the way, but
they're first in rushing defense. So I asked Ian Furnessen Crosstalk,
if you had to pick one, would rather be dead
last in rushing offense and first in rushing defense? Or
did last in rushing defense but first in rushing offense. Former, Eh,
(06:00):
think about that for a second. That's a mind scrambler.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Have the offense? Would you really? Would you really?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Just because of how I think this offense was supposed
to work at the beginning of the year, And you
know we've mentioned it before. If you told me they
would be almost last in yards per carry, I would
have told you their record would be flipped for of
what it is.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
If that what they sold to us, the entire offense,
shone blocking scheme, the most important man in the field.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
And blah blah blah. Five guys are working together. You
can react. Now, they can't run the ball, so what
the hell gives?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
But they're throwing the ball pretty well and they're playing
phenomenal defense. So as long as they're playing phenomenal defense.
They should be in every game they play right now.
That is exactly right.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
And I think that every other stat passing wise, defensively,
it's all in the top ten in the NFL. It's
just there's one thing they don't do well right now,
and that's probably what's keeping them from being the top team.
Like that's the elite team. They're in a second level
right now, but they're not the first. We're gonna talk
to hard On about that at five. And that's the
thing is that, guys, they're five and two and they
(07:02):
can't run the ball.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
They're five and two.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
If I told you in July the Seahawks are five
and two, you're probably thinking to yourself whether a pretty
decent running team?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And they stink at five and two.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I mean, they're fumbled away from being probably six and
one against San Francisco, right, and the other loss to
Tampa Bay they barely.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Lost, unbelievable, for one were coin flips. They are this close.
They probably should have been won on one of those games.
To be honest, right, you're not owing too all right,
We're gonna break Petros is gonna join next.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
We'll ask him what he thinks of Magic Johnson's obvious
tweets and did he really leave Chavez Ravine before the
World Series started last night? Next on ninety three three KJRFM, it's.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Time for our weekly conversation with college football analyst Petros
Papa Enekas.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Not that I'm a smart guy, I'm stupid.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Brought to you by Sweet James Accident Attorneys.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Forty one years.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
If you're hurt in an accident, call Sweet James right
away at eight hundred, five hundred and fifty two hundred.
Sweet James will be sweet to you, but tough on
insurance companies that will bully you.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I don't know Maruts.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Now with Petros Pears Dave Softymuller.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
All right, boys and girls, here we go on a
busy Wednesday afternoon, a horsecrap radio show right here on
ninety three to three kJ ARFM. It is our pleasure
to welcome in one of the more let's face facts
people in demand sports talk guests that this medium has
to offer. A guy who was nailed down the heavyweight
(08:33):
champion of the world title of LA sports talk radio
for decades and decades to come husband of the year,
Father of the month, my friend and one damn fine
Greek American.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Our friend Petros Papadocus courtesy.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Sweet Jay, the dead Beard of Justice. He can come
through for you. If you've ever been in a car accident,
maybe a motorcycle accident, if you've ever been beaten or
attacked by a dog or bitten, Sweet James knows what
to do and how to handle that insurance company. So
give him a call at eight hundred and nine million.
That's eight hundred nine million, Hello Softy, Hello Seattle.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
All right, before we resume our conversation, we do have
some housekeeping to get to here. Lots of people feel
like you owe the audience and apology for your behavior
a week ago on the program.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Would you like to address that?
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Well, I mean, to be fair, I was only half
of the attack. I mean I don't, as I have reiterated,
I don't know how to pull things up on the computer,
and I don't know how to hit buttons. And I
think I texted you this, although you didn't respond because
you're so butt hurt, but I texted you that. Really,
all I wanted to do was play that Okay Bluejays song,
(09:49):
which I thought was really funny, and Kim Kates my
producer who is very very much a Dodger person and
working for and with the dog, especially in the postseason,
started playing the thing, and then you started getting mad,
and it just compounded itself. And then I listened. I
gotta be honest, though, I listened to the segment after
(10:13):
and I listened to I listened to Dick and Jackson,
and I didn't feel as bad about it after that.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Why why is that? Why did you not feel as bad?
Speaker 6 (10:23):
I don't know. I just as you explained to them,
I have a different outlook when it comes to these things.
But I am I'm sorry if it was salt in
the wound for people and they didn't see the humor
in it at all. And I know that Seattle is
a is a truly truly sensitive place. No, I'm going
(10:47):
to be honest. I'll be an honest. Are you not
sensitive about baseball in the World Series? I would be
if you never went. And and then of course the
basketball thing is another subject.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
You see, but that's the whole point, Like, why why
even go down? I'm not even thinking about that, and
then you bring that up and throw that up in
our face.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Okay, Well, there's just a lot to be butt heard about.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Okay, so fine, Yes, you know what you're probably, if
I'm being honest with you, we have a lot to
be butt heart about here in Seattle, There's no question
about it. We got a little bit to be proud
about and a lot to be butt heart about. But
we'd be really proud and appreciative.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
By the way. Hang on a second, I'm not done.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
If the Dodgers would wake their ass up and take
care of the blue Jays for us?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
What is going on down there? Man?
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Come on, well, you got one of your own. Where
is he from? Totem Pole Face, Seattle. What's the name
of the town?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Shoreline? Blake Snell? He's from the shoreline area, right, yeah,
Blake Snell?
Speaker 6 (11:44):
Right? Blake Snell is on the mound tonight. And he
did not pitch well in his last out in Game
one of the World Series in Toronto. And he's pretty
good and he doesn't seem to have slip ups like
that games in a row. Although I gotta be honest,
this Toronto team they are a scrappy bunch. I mean
(12:07):
they they You would think that they would have just
wilted after losing an eighteen inning game, after all that
fanfare and people actually stayed at Dodger Stadium till midnight
from five o'clock and it was wild. And in the
last couple of days it's ninety five degrees there right now,
I mean it as hot as hell. Brian Kinny sweating
(12:28):
all his hair dye out, and they are I mean
they are in there fighting. The one thing I would
appreciate that they have a Mexican catcher named Alejandro Kirk.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Correct, right, we're very familiar with by the way, yes, yes.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Right, And I know he's five seven two point thirty.
But every single time one of the announcers talk about him,
do they have to mention like, yah, well he doesn't
look like a player, or he doesn't pass the eyeball
test and we know that he looks like it's yeah,
we know he's fat. Can you just skip one every time,
like mention it every other time that he's fat? I mean,
(13:07):
give us a break. But yeah, it has been an
exciting World Series and the Dodgers' bats are very sleepy
and we'll see if they wake up tonight. But the
Toronto team, if they win tonight, I think it's good
night Irene going back to Canada. Yeah, I mean those
guys Joe Davis and Steven Nelson, the radio announcer. They
sounded like they got punched in the cross last night,
(13:30):
and you heard it in their voice because it's fair.
It's like they know they have to go back to Canada.
They live in la they're fathers of young people. They're
going to be gone for Halloween. So Toronto's fighting it out.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Well, we hope that you guys can wake up because
we're we got massive schadenfreude up here and we're rooting
for the Dodgers like mad to take care of these
aren't even real people.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Petrus's Canadians.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I'm not sure what the genesis is of their kind,
but their DNA does not match.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yours at all.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I'm guaranteeing you man, so do the damn world of
favor and take care of these freaking weirdos for us.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Okay, that's dangerous thinking, as you know, not with Canady
heads and their beady eyes, their little beady eyes. Yeah,
the players aren't Canadian, I mean except for Vlad Guerrero
Junior was born in Canada. He has a Spanish accent.
Why are you hawking at me?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Well, anyway, if they're wearing that hat with that stupid
leaf on it. They're Canadian. I just go take care
of him tonight. But hey, did you see Magic Johnson's
breaking news tweet he sent out a few hours ago
about tonight's game.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
Did I see it? Yeah? I led the show with it.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah, Magic Johnson writes on X. With the series being
two to two, game five is very important. Whichever team
wins takes control of the series, says Magic Johnson.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
Yeah, and there's an exclamation point after series exactly read
it syntax. But yeah, No, when I saw that tweet
that this morning, I said, this is it. I'm gonna
leave with this, and I did leave with it.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
You know, Magic Johnson is like, you know, the the
Greeks of the ancient times, of the Peloponnesian Wars, they
had the oracle at Delphi, and we here in Los
Angeles have Magic Johnson to tell us how to feel.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I mean, he's does he know, He's got to know,
like this is a stick, right, come on, tell me
it's a stick.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
I wish I could I it could be. I mean
that's what people ask me, Like if he trolling, he's
gotta be trolling. Us. This has got to be a joke. Yeah,
and maybe at this point it is. But when you
consider the punctuation he uses, it kind of feels like
like it's not. And then remember Saturday Night Live used
(15:50):
to have that skit with Tracy Morgan where he played
the stupid wildlife expert guy. Somebody would come on with
it and be like Brian Thlows, you know, Brian Fellows. Yes,
it kind of feels it feels a little bit like
Brian Fellows. Whatever he tweets, whether it's intentional or not.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Did you ever hear Tracy Morgan's Reggie White impression that
he did on Weekend Update?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Oh my god, hilarious.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
It's actually hard to find on YouTube, so if you
can track it down and do it. But hey, how
about how about our guy Sark blasted off on Diana
Russini for putting false reports out about his interest in
the NFL.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Did you see that over the weekend?
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Well, do you think they're false report?
Speaker 4 (16:38):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I don't at all. No, no, no, yeah, no.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Yeah no, I mean, look what Shark wants to get
paid by the NFL and pick up that big check,
get out from under the Texas bureaucracy. And you know
how Steve Sarkisian is. He's not exactly the warm, fuzzy
person you might think he is. I don't know what
would make you think that, but he's not. And not
(17:03):
very dissimilar to James Franklin and not very dissimilar to
Brian Kelly. And they all are at huge, blue blood schools.
They're all guys with massive buyouts and massive expectations. And
I don't think he wants to get stuck with the
Arch Manning stigma that he I mean, look, I would
(17:25):
forgive arch Manning being so mediocre after all the hype
if he was a freshman or a red shirt freshman.
That guy's been there for three training camps and three
spring footballs, all under the tutelage of Steve Sarkisian offensive
coach and genius coordinator. So I don't think he wants
(17:49):
to wear the blame of not being able to develop Manning.
He can get paid big money in the NFL and
somebody will do it, and when he wants to, he
can go back to call Uh and take another big
paycheck there. So I totally believe that reporting. And what
I don't believe is it getting all buttered about it.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yeah, well, I look, I mean I won't say this.
Sark was great to me while he was here. I
don't have any problem with Steve personally, but I did
see the temper that you're kind of alluding to, right,
that he's got. He's got a short temper.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
We we we saw it, you, I mean everybody's seen
it now, right, Yeah, everybody's seen.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
We saw we saw in the tunnel, you know, a
couple of years ago when he went after that security
got your hands off. Yeah, I remember that, right, So
I mean we've seen Yeah, you've seen that.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
But he was fine to me while he was here.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
But yeah, I mean there's no I mean, look, everybody
wants back in the NFL. Give me a freaking break.
It's no surprise that Sark would be on that list. Hey, Petro,
should we uh worries the wrong word because what evs.
But there's a lot of people that believe that Jed
Fish is number one on UCLA's list to be their
new head coach.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Do you buy that?
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Uh? I don't know. It sounds feasible. I mean, it's
more feasible than Lane Kiffin, which I was hearing.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Who's talking about. Who's saying Lane Kiffin? Why would he
go to you? Why would Lane Kiffin go to UCLA
when he can go to a place like LSU if
he wants to.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Well, that was my sentiment, but it was said by
the La Times beet Rider for UCLA. It was a
pretty good guy. But yeah, he said that, and I
was I was skeptical. I think that Martin Jarmond, who
is the current athletic director at UCLA, is not going
to be the guy that makes that higher. Not to
(19:37):
say that he won't be in place at the time,
but I think Casey Wasserman and the big money people
at UCLA will have a say in it. Jed Fish
they are familiar with he was an interm there and
won a Bowl game, and I think that he might
be as likely as anybody. But I don't think UCLA
(19:59):
is a better job than Washington unless and this is
what the Ben Bultch guy from you from the La
Times was talking about in regards to Kiffin. You know,
these are people that know southern California. They lived in
southern California. In Kiffin's uh uh part, he was a
(20:20):
very very beloved resident in Manhattan, beach, as was Chip Kelly,
and it's a real swell place for swell people. And
the opportunity to come back and live to southern California
Pete Carroll Beach cruiser lifestyle. Maybe maybe is the draw,
(20:41):
but I mean, I mean, look, Seattle is one of
the most beautiful cities in the world. I know it
rains a lot, but I just, I mean to deal
with the bureaucracy at u c l A and the
red tape of the UC system and all the bs
that discouraged Chip Kelly and the things that have held
(21:02):
them back for so many years. In sports, if you're
at UCLA and you want to be treated well, you'd
better be on the basketball team. And that's really that.
That's been the truth of it since long before I played.
And they have to get rid of that stigma and
embrace the money maker football. And I just, if I'm Jetfish,
I stay unless I've pissed everybody off like Franklin and
(21:25):
Suck and Brian Kelly. If I'm Fish, I stay up
there by mont Lake. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, well, I mean, there's only the only reason we
can think of that he would maybe go down there
is for his family. If they've got a desire to
get away from the drearied fall and winners of Seattle.
Maybe he wants to be back in the sun, as
you said, but you mentioned Carol Man, and you know
Carol just as well as I do, if not, you know,
maybe better than me.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
I feel sorry for us.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
He's seventy four years old, he's two and five. The
Raiders suck in the NFL, He's got no quarterback? Is
Geno's terrible? What do you think called Pete he's thinking
right about now?
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Huh?
Speaker 6 (22:03):
Well, the interesting thing to me is that, I mean,
we can all get caught up at Pete's enthusiasm. And
he has had success, you know, since he showed up
at USC, He's had success everywhere he's gone. So it's
hard to argue with. But I kind of felt like
Gino Smith got him fired in Seattle to a certain degree.
(22:24):
And then you take that guy to a more unstable
franchise for the Raiders and making your quarterback. It doesn't
like that didn't seem to make sense right off the bat.
And then of course they're struggling on tif Kelly getting
a lot of money, yep to call plays and he's
old like you said, I don't think it's going well.
(22:46):
I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't last past this year.
I wouldn't be shocked if he stays for another to
see what they could make out of it. Wow. But yeah,
it's not going well. And he's an old man.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, yeah, seventy four years old man, seventy five next September.
But hey, before you go, can you explain to people
why you're in the car right now when not staying
for Game five or the World Series when you just
did your show from Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Yeah, I can't imagine wanting to be somewhere less. I mean,
an hour ago, I was down on the field at
Dodger Stadium, on the dirt in front of the dugout
with every national and local media hack, everybody looking at
their self in the mirror. It's ninety five degrees. Everybody's
(23:36):
sweating balls at elbowing and nudging each other for room
to get next to Oral Hersheiser or somebody like that.
It is an absolute scrub. And then otherwise I'm in
the suite with our clients that are advertisers and then
the salespeople right, and everybody's munching on hot dogs and
(24:01):
pouring caeso in their mouth like it's a keg a beer.
And I just, honestly, after I get done with the show,
it's hard to get out of there, It's hard to
get in, But I'm very happy just to be sitting
alone in the car, no matter how bad Trafalage is.
As as opposed to being there and being there, I mean,
(24:24):
the people that are there are having a great time.
They're there to have fun. If I'm there, I'm there
to work and when I'm done working, I.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Want to go home.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Jeez, well I will.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I will give you props for this, this whole not
going to events and not being around crowds and not
being around people thing. I mean, if you're blowing off
Game five of the World Series, when you're already there
and leaving the stadium to go home, you are committed
to the.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Bit, beyond committed. Not only kudos to you myself, I mean.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
Yeah, I'm fully invested in the bit. The bit is
having social anxiety, I am fully I also left Game
three and Game four in the exact same fashion, but
I'm down on the field talking to people, standing right
next to Mookie Betts and all that, but then when
(25:14):
the when the when our when the pregame show starts,
I leave, I'm very happy to me.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, well, hey, you know what, to each their own.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I mean here, I am just freaking dying to get
to a World Series game, and you're there and you
couldn't give a damn.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
So I don't know, man, I mean.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
I didn I mentioned yeah, and I mentioned this on
the show the other day. Uh. You know, we've had
the Dodgers I don't know, for like fifteen years on
AMPI seventy in LA and ever since what twenty seventeen,
they've been to five World Series since I've been working. Uh,
(25:53):
and so many crazy things have happened. The COVID World
Series they won. There were two eighteen games, one in
twenty eighteen and one the other night. We've had the
show Hail Tani, playoff performances, We've had you know, Corey Seeger,
Cody Bellinger, all this different stuff over the years. And
not that I'm complacent because I left early in twenty
(26:16):
seventeen when they were in the World Series and they
hadn't been since nineteen eighty eight. Not that I'm I
think that you kind of you kind of lose perspective.
It's sort of like showe Aotani, right, Hitch and Pitch.
You just kind of lose perspective on what you're watching
and how lucky you are to be able to present
(26:36):
the product in this time. You know what I mean,
because our job is our job is to present the product,
and you can't control whether the product is good or bad.
And you go along for the ride and you try
to be an ambassador of it to the people that
listen to you, like you were with that Washington football
team a couple of years ago, and you guys did
a fabulous job. I mean you really did, and you
(26:59):
really were able to tap into people's emotions about what
they were seeing. And when it comes to the Dodgers,
I mean back to back World Series and all the
fanfare of Otani and all that different stuff, and there,
let's be honest, they're expected to win. They're not expected
to compete. I mean, they're expected to win the thing.
But when all that happens, it gets harder to have
(27:22):
perspective and convey it to the audience that's used to winning.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I got it all right, man, Well, enjoy your solo
ride home and a chance for some reflection. Enjoy your
evening and we'll talk in a week.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
See you, man. I'm listening to I'm listening to a
book about the Hatfields and McCoy's ah, the history of
their battle right, very interest.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
You could report on that next Wednesday when you come
on the show. We'd love to hear your insight.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
Yeah, they lived on both sides of the river between
Kentucky and West Virginia.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Tell that to Magic Johnson. You can tweet about it,
all right, you're the man, great stuff.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
We'll see you, buddy. What didn't you.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Know that this is a pivotal This is a pivotal game.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Five, Yes it is. And whoever wins tonight, go ahead,
finish the sentence.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I'm at it.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
They're going to control the whole sale.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
That trust Papadakis.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
We're gonna break textimonials, and then Kevin Harlan is going
to join us at five o'clock tonight right here on
ninety three three kJ r FM Horse Crap Radio Show
The injury up day for the Seahawks is out here
we go. Julian Love did not participate today, Leonard Williams limited,
Devin Witherspoon full participation.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Terry mclaur for the Commanders by the way, not playing
in this game on Sunday night, and Larry My Tunsel,
their left tackle, also sat out practice today.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
So you want to add anything or you want to
sure this is for the quote.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Nobody watches the NBA crowd opening week on ESPN, NBC
Prime Video nearly three million viewers on average, making it
the most watched since twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I do have a bunch of fart noises on my deal.
You have like an know, it's just part of like a.
It's part of a it's called pull my finger comes.
I'm gonna say it.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
You know this our World Series talk?
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Guys. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Would you rather hear that or Blue Jay's Dodgers conversation?
Speaker 5 (01:06):
I think when I tell people going, Andy, Hey, where
do you work?
Speaker 6 (01:10):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I work in sports radio. You guys played fart noises all, Yeah,
that's what we do here.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
By the way, we do have some breaking news from
minority Dodgers owner Magic Johnson.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Okay, that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I mean serious analysis here, Jackson. Have you seen this
from Magic?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Magic Johnson reported five hours ago on Twitter ten to
fourteen am in the morning. At Magic Johnson, you ready
for this? With the series being two to two, game
five is very important. Whichever team wins takes control of
the series, says Magic Johnson on social media. He and
(01:51):
coach late late the other night, which I responded, no way,
no way. Have you ever heard of Ron Fairley Jackson? Okay,
you think everybody in the audience knows who Ron Fairly is.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I need a job shadow into Ron Fairly. Really know,
if you do well at this job, shadow, you might
get the job. Did you know Ron fairly obvious facts
to you?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Very much?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
He did drop a You know, usually the team who
hits more home runs in the game is going to
come out as a winner. I remember because I wrote
that down, like, no, that doesn't sound right.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Well, we used to do a segment called Fairly Obvious
Facts with me and Steve Sandmeyer and we would just
hammer him and all that. And I mean he passed
away about six years ago. May rest in peace, but
he was an al timer man. I mean he was.
He was actually on the call when Griffy had his
eighth home run in a row. It was a phenomenal call,
great call by Ron Fairly, and he was just mister obvious.
(02:50):
You know, the EMS would fall behind five to four,
and he'd go on the air and say, oh, this
looks like the kind of game the MS may have
to score six runs to win.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Things like that.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
But it was his stick, right, Like even knee house,
you guys know towards the knee house would say things like,
you know, a fly ball deep to left field caught
by the shortstop, right, I mean that, But it was
okay because it was Dave Natchel saying that's right.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
And and those those guys earn the right to be
able to do that, right, absolutely, they stick around forty years,
You got that, you earn the right to do that.
I'm sure the same with for UK in Milwaukee.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, yeah, well he Magic Johnson also wrote two nights ago.
Choiotani hits two home runs in Game three against Toronto Ords.
Cannot explain how great he is, says Magic Johnson. I mean,
it's just go look at Magic Johnson's Twitter account.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
By the way, it is unbelievable, Like, does he not know?
Does nobody tell him? Is this a stick? Does he
do care?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Does he do it on purpose? Please tell me he's
doing this stuff on purpose.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
He's probably worth a billion dollars. He does not cared,
but I know that.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
But he's got to wake up and know that this
is just the most obvious craft that he's putting out
there on Twitter and people are thinking either A, there's
something wrong with you man, or B. This has got
to be a stick. It's got to be if.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Nobody's willing to say that to his face.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Oh why why? He seems like a nice guy that
is magic? Who doesn't like magic?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Well that's Petros when he comes out of four twenty today,
but magic Johnson. So anyway, Seahawks commanders, we got the
injury update there. Devin Witherspoon will see on him. I'm
more intrigued by the commander's injury update. With Terry McLaurin
not playing at the game. Jackson, we took a factor fixtion.
We took the Hawks minus the points on Sunday night.
I don't know if a wide receiver is gonna move
the line that much in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
You know, especially a guy.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Like McLaurin, by the way, but they are the Hawks
are given three and a half, which basically means according
to Magic Johnson if the game were at home in Seattle,
Vegas thinks the Hawks are almost a touchdown better than
the Command.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
More than a touchdown better. I think, be over a touchdown.
I think when you look at what their running game
has done the last three weeks with Jacrossky Merrit Acrossky.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Merrit Bill as we call him.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yes, after he had the breakout game on October over
the fifth against the Chargers, he has gone seventeen for
sixty one three point six yards of carry. He's gone
thirteen for thirty three against Dallas Dallas's defense for two
point five yards of carry, and then this last game
against Kansas City had twenty five yards on two point
eight yards per carry.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
They're gonna be.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
A one dimensional offense without their leading receiver.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
By the way, rough you know Jackson who leads the
NFL in run defense right now, both in rushing yards
and yards per carry?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Is it is it really? Damn No, it's us. It's
the seas Us. The Seahawks are number one in the
NFL in rushing defense.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
They were twenty six a year ago, and now they're
number one in both total yards and yards per carry.
They're thirty first in rushing offense, by the way, but
they're first in rushing defense. So I asked Ian Furnessen Crosstalk,
if you had to pick one, would rather be dead
last in rushing offense and first in rushing defense? Or
did last in rushing defense but first in rushing offense. Former, Eh,
(06:00):
think about that for a second. That's a mind scrambler.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Have the offense? Would you really? Would you really?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Just because of how I think this offense was supposed
to work at the beginning of the year, And you
know we've mentioned it before. If you told me they
would be almost last in yards per carry, I would
have told you their record would be flipped for of
what it is.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
If that what they sold to us, the entire offense,
shone blocking scheme, the most important man in the field.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
And blah blah blah. Five guys are working together. You
can react. Now, they can't run the ball, so what
the hell gives?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
But they're throwing the ball pretty well and they're playing
phenomenal defense. So as long as they're playing phenomenal defense.
They should be in every game they play right now.
That is exactly right.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
And I think that every other stat passing wise, defensively,
it's all in the top ten in the NFL. It's
just there's one thing they don't do well right now,
and that's probably what's keeping them from being the top team.
Like that's the elite team. They're in a second level
right now, but they're not the first. We're gonna talk
to hard On about that at five. And that's the
thing is that, guys, they're five and two and they
(07:02):
can't run the ball.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
They're five and two.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
If I told you in July the Seahawks are five
and two, you're probably thinking to yourself whether a pretty
decent running team?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And they stink at five and two.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I mean, they're fumbled away from being probably six and
one against San Francisco, right, and the other loss to
Tampa Bay they barely.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Lost, unbelievable, for one were coin flips. They are this close.
They probably should have been won on one of those games.
To be honest, right, you're not owing too all right,
We're gonna break Petros is gonna join next.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
We'll ask him what he thinks of Magic Johnson's obvious
tweets and did he really leave Chavez Ravine before the
World Series started last night? Next on ninety three three KJRFM, it's.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Time for our weekly conversation with college football analyst Petros
Papa Enekas.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Not that I'm a smart guy, I'm stupid.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Brought to you by Sweet James Accident Attorneys.
Speaker 3 (07:48):

away at eight hundred, five hundred and fifty two hundred.
Sweet James will be sweet to you, but tough on
insurance companies that will bully you.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I don't know Maruts.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Now with Petros Pears Dave Softymuller.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
All right, boys and girls, here we go on a
busy Wednesday afternoon, a horsecrap radio show right here on
ninety three to three kJ ARFM. It is our pleasure
to welcome in one of the more let's face facts
people in demand sports talk guests that this medium has
to offer. A guy who was nailed down the heavyweight
(08:33):
champion of the world title of LA sports talk radio
for decades and decades to come husband of the year,
Father of the month, my friend and one damn fine
Greek American.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Our friend Petros Papadocus courtesy.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Sweet Jay, the dead Beard of Justice. He can come
through for you. If you've ever been in a car accident,
maybe a motorcycle accident, if you've ever been beaten or
attacked by a dog or bitten, Sweet James knows what
to do and how to handle that insurance company. So
give him a call at eight hundred and nine million.
That's eight hundred nine million, Hello Softy, Hello Seattle.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
All right, before we resume our conversation, we do have
some housekeeping to get to here. Lots of people feel
like you owe the audience and apology for your behavior
a week ago on the program.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Would you like to address that?
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Well, I mean, to be fair, I was only half
of the attack. I mean I don't, as I have reiterated,
I don't know how to pull things up on the computer,
and I don't know how to hit buttons. And I
think I texted you this, although you didn't respond because
you're so butt hurt, but I texted you that. Really,
all I wanted to do was play that Okay Bluejays song,
(09:49):
which I thought was really funny, and Kim Kates my
producer who is very very much a Dodger person and
working for and with the dog, especially in the postseason,
started playing the thing, and then you started getting mad,
and it just compounded itself. And then I listened. I
gotta be honest, though, I listened to the segment after
(10:13):
and I listened to I listened to Dick and Jackson,
and I didn't feel as bad about it after that.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Why why is that? Why did you not feel as bad?
Speaker 6 (10:23):
I don't know. I just as you explained to them,
I have a different outlook when it comes to these things.
But I am I'm sorry if it was salt in
the wound for people and they didn't see the humor
in it at all. And I know that Seattle is
a is a truly truly sensitive place. No, I'm going
(10:47):
to be honest. I'll be an honest. Are you not
sensitive about baseball in the World Series? I would be
if you never went. And and then of course the
basketball thing is another subject.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
You see, but that's the whole point, Like, why why
even go down? I'm not even thinking about that, and
then you bring that up and throw that up in
our face.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Okay, Well, there's just a lot to be butt heard about.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Okay, so fine, Yes, you know what you're probably, if
I'm being honest with you, we have a lot to
be butt heart about here in Seattle, There's no question
about it. We got a little bit to be proud
about and a lot to be butt heart about. But
we'd be really proud and appreciative.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
By the way. Hang on a second, I'm not done.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
If the Dodgers would wake their ass up and take
care of the blue Jays for us?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
What is going on down there? Man?
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Come on, well, you got one of your own. Where
is he from? Totem Pole Face, Seattle. What's the name
of the town?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Shoreline? Blake Snell? He's from the shoreline area, right, yeah,
Blake Snell?
Speaker 6 (11:44):
Right? Blake Snell is on the mound tonight. And he
did not pitch well in his last out in Game
one of the World Series in Toronto. And he's pretty
good and he doesn't seem to have slip ups like
that games in a row. Although I gotta be honest,
this Toronto team they are a scrappy bunch. I mean
(12:07):
they they You would think that they would have just
wilted after losing an eighteen inning game, after all that
fanfare and people actually stayed at Dodger Stadium till midnight
from five o'clock and it was wild. And in the
last couple of days it's ninety five degrees there right now,
I mean it as hot as hell. Brian Kinny sweating
(12:28):
all his hair dye out, and they are I mean
they are in there fighting. The one thing I would
appreciate that they have a Mexican catcher named Alejandro Kirk.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Correct, right, we're very familiar with by the way, yes, yes.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Right, And I know he's five seven two point thirty.
But every single time one of the announcers talk about him,
do they have to mention like, yah, well he doesn't
look like a player, or he doesn't pass the eyeball
test and we know that he looks like it's yeah,
we know he's fat. Can you just skip one every time,
like mention it every other time that he's fat? I mean,
(13:07):
give us a break. But yeah, it has been an
exciting World Series and the Dodgers' bats are very sleepy
and we'll see if they wake up tonight. But the
Toronto team, if they win tonight, I think it's good
night Irene going back to Canada. Yeah, I mean those
guys Joe Davis and Steven Nelson, the radio announcer. They
sounded like they got punched in the cross last night,
(13:30):
and you heard it in their voice because it's fair.
It's like they know they have to go back to Canada.
They live in la they're fathers of young people. They're
going to be gone for Halloween. So Toronto's fighting it out.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Well, we hope that you guys can wake up because
we're we got massive schadenfreude up here and we're rooting
for the Dodgers like mad to take care of these
aren't even real people.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Petrus's Canadians.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I'm not sure what the genesis is of their kind,
but their DNA does not match.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yours at all.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I'm guaranteeing you man, so do the damn world of
favor and take care of these freaking weirdos for us.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Okay, that's dangerous thinking, as you know, not with Canady
heads and their beady eyes, their little beady eyes. Yeah,
the players aren't Canadian, I mean except for Vlad Guerrero
Junior was born in Canada. He has a Spanish accent.
Why are you hawking at me?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Well, anyway, if they're wearing that hat with that stupid
leaf on it. They're Canadian. I just go take care
of him tonight. But hey, did you see Magic Johnson's
breaking news tweet he sent out a few hours ago
about tonight's game.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
Did I see it? Yeah? I led the show with it.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah, Magic Johnson writes on X. With the series being
two to two, game five is very important. Whichever team
wins takes control of the series, says Magic Johnson.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
Yeah, and there's an exclamation point after series exactly read
it syntax. But yeah, No, when I saw that tweet
that this morning, I said, this is it. I'm gonna
leave with this, and I did leave with it.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
You know, Magic Johnson is like, you know, the the
Greeks of the ancient times, of the Peloponnesian Wars, they
had the oracle at Delphi, and we here in Los
Angeles have Magic Johnson to tell us how to feel.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I mean, he's does he know, He's got to know,
like this is a stick, right, come on, tell me
it's a stick.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
I wish I could I it could be. I mean
that's what people ask me, Like if he trolling, he's
gotta be trolling. Us. This has got to be a joke. Yeah,
and maybe at this point it is. But when you
consider the punctuation he uses, it kind of feels like
like it's not. And then remember Saturday Night Live used
(15:50):
to have that skit with Tracy Morgan where he played
the stupid wildlife expert guy. Somebody would come on with
it and be like Brian Thlows, you know, Brian Fellows. Yes,
it kind of feels it feels a little bit like
Brian Fellows. Whatever he tweets, whether it's intentional or not.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Did you ever hear Tracy Morgan's Reggie White impression that
he did on Weekend Update?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Oh my god, hilarious.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
It's actually hard to find on YouTube, so if you
can track it down and do it. But hey, how
about how about our guy Sark blasted off on Diana
Russini for putting false reports out about his interest in
the NFL.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Did you see that over the weekend?
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Well, do you think they're false report?
Speaker 4 (16:38):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I don't at all. No, no, no, yeah, no.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Yeah no, I mean, look what Shark wants to get
paid by the NFL and pick up that big check,
get out from under the Texas bureaucracy. And you know
how Steve Sarkisian is. He's not exactly the warm, fuzzy
person you might think he is. I don't know what
would make you think that, but he's not. And not
(17:03):
very dissimilar to James Franklin and not very dissimilar to
Brian Kelly. And they all are at huge, blue blood schools.
They're all guys with massive buyouts and massive expectations. And
I don't think he wants to get stuck with the
Arch Manning stigma that he I mean, look, I would
(17:25):
forgive arch Manning being so mediocre after all the hype
if he was a freshman or a red shirt freshman.
That guy's been there for three training camps and three
spring footballs, all under the tutelage of Steve Sarkisian offensive
coach and genius coordinator. So I don't think he wants
(17:49):
to wear the blame of not being able to develop Manning.
He can get paid big money in the NFL and
somebody will do it, and when he wants to, he
can go back to call Uh and take another big
paycheck there. So I totally believe that reporting. And what
I don't believe is it getting all buttered about it.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yeah, well, I look, I mean I won't say this.
Sark was great to me while he was here. I
don't have any problem with Steve personally, but I did
see the temper that you're kind of alluding to, right,
that he's got. He's got a short temper.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
We we we saw it, you, I mean everybody's seen
it now, right, Yeah, everybody's seen.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
We saw we saw in the tunnel, you know, a
couple of years ago when he went after that security
got your hands off. Yeah, I remember that, right, So
I mean we've seen Yeah, you've seen that.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
But he was fine to me while he was here.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
But yeah, I mean there's no I mean, look, everybody
wants back in the NFL. Give me a freaking break.
It's no surprise that Sark would be on that list. Hey, Petro,
should we uh worries the wrong word because what evs.
But there's a lot of people that believe that Jed
Fish is number one on UCLA's list to be their
new head coach.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Do you buy that?
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Uh? I don't know. It sounds feasible. I mean, it's
more feasible than Lane Kiffin, which I was hearing.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Who's talking about. Who's saying Lane Kiffin? Why would he
go to you? Why would Lane Kiffin go to UCLA
when he can go to a place like LSU if
he wants to.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Well, that was my sentiment, but it was said by
the La Times beet Rider for UCLA. It was a
pretty good guy. But yeah, he said that, and I
was I was skeptical. I think that Martin Jarmond, who
is the current athletic director at UCLA, is not going
to be the guy that makes that higher. Not to
(19:37):
say that he won't be in place at the time,
but I think Casey Wasserman and the big money people
at UCLA will have a say in it. Jed Fish
they are familiar with he was an interm there and
won a Bowl game, and I think that he might
be as likely as anybody. But I don't think UCLA
(19:59):
is a better job than Washington unless and this is
what the Ben Bultch guy from you from the La
Times was talking about in regards to Kiffin. You know,
these are people that know southern California. They lived in
southern California. In Kiffin's uh uh part, he was a
(20:20):
very very beloved resident in Manhattan, beach, as was Chip Kelly,
and it's a real swell place for swell people. And
the opportunity to come back and live to southern California
Pete Carroll Beach cruiser lifestyle. Maybe maybe is the draw,
(20:41):
but I mean, I mean, look, Seattle is one of
the most beautiful cities in the world. I know it
rains a lot, but I just, I mean to deal
with the bureaucracy at u c l A and the
red tape of the UC system and all the bs
that discouraged Chip Kelly and the things that have held
(21:02):
them back for so many years. In sports, if you're
at UCLA and you want to be treated well, you'd
better be on the basketball team. And that's really that.
That's been the truth of it since long before I played.
And they have to get rid of that stigma and
embrace the money maker football. And I just, if I'm Jetfish,
I stay unless I've pissed everybody off like Franklin and
(21:25):
Suck and Brian Kelly. If I'm Fish, I stay up
there by mont Lake. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, well, I mean, there's only the only reason we
can think of that he would maybe go down there
is for his family. If they've got a desire to
get away from the drearied fall and winners of Seattle.
Maybe he wants to be back in the sun, as
you said, but you mentioned Carol Man, and you know
Carol just as well as I do, if not, you know,
maybe better than me.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
I feel sorry for us.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
He's seventy four years old, he's two and five. The
Raiders suck in the NFL, He's got no quarterback? Is
Geno's terrible? What do you think called Pete he's thinking
right about now?
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Huh?
Speaker 6 (22:03):
Well, the interesting thing to me is that, I mean,
we can all get caught up at Pete's enthusiasm. And
he has had success, you know, since he showed up
at USC, He's had success everywhere he's gone. So it's
hard to argue with. But I kind of felt like
Gino Smith got him fired in Seattle to a certain degree.
(22:24):
And then you take that guy to a more unstable
franchise for the Raiders and making your quarterback. It doesn't
like that didn't seem to make sense right off the bat.
And then of course they're struggling on tif Kelly getting
a lot of money, yep to call plays and he's
old like you said, I don't think it's going well.
(22:46):
I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't last past this year.
I wouldn't be shocked if he stays for another to
see what they could make out of it. Wow. But yeah,
it's not going well. And he's an old man.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, yeah, seventy four years old man, seventy five next September.
But hey, before you go, can you explain to people
why you're in the car right now when not staying
for Game five or the World Series when you just
did your show from Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Yeah, I can't imagine wanting to be somewhere less. I mean,
an hour ago, I was down on the field at
Dodger Stadium, on the dirt in front of the dugout
with every national and local media hack, everybody looking at
their self in the mirror. It's ninety five degrees. Everybody's
(23:36):
sweating balls at elbowing and nudging each other for room
to get next to Oral Hersheiser or somebody like that.
It is an absolute scrub. And then otherwise I'm in
the suite with our clients that are advertisers and then
the salespeople right, and everybody's munching on hot dogs and
(24:01):
pouring caeso in their mouth like it's a keg a beer.
And I just, honestly, after I get done with the show,
it's hard to get out of there, It's hard to
get in, But I'm very happy just to be sitting
alone in the car, no matter how bad Trafalage is.
As as opposed to being there and being there, I mean,
(24:24):
the people that are there are having a great time.
They're there to have fun. If I'm there, I'm there
to work and when I'm done working, I.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Want to go home.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Jeez, well I will.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I will give you props for this, this whole not
going to events and not being around crowds and not
being around people thing. I mean, if you're blowing off
Game five of the World Series, when you're already there
and leaving the stadium to go home, you are committed
to the.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Bit, beyond committed. Not only kudos to you myself, I mean.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
Yeah, I'm fully invested in the bit. The bit is
having social anxiety, I am fully I also left Game
three and Game four in the exact same fashion, but
I'm down on the field talking to people, standing right
next to Mookie Betts and all that, but then when
(25:14):
the when the when our when the pregame show starts,
I leave, I'm very happy to me.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, well, hey, you know what, to each their own.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I mean here, I am just freaking dying to get
to a World Series game, and you're there and you
couldn't give a damn.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
So I don't know, man, I mean.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
I didn I mentioned yeah, and I mentioned this on
the show the other day. Uh. You know, we've had
the Dodgers I don't know, for like fifteen years on
AMPI seventy in LA and ever since what twenty seventeen,
they've been to five World Series since I've been working. Uh,
(25:53):
and so many crazy things have happened. The COVID World
Series they won. There were two eighteen games, one in
twenty eighteen and one the other night. We've had the
show Hail Tani, playoff performances, We've had you know, Corey Seeger,
Cody Bellinger, all this different stuff over the years. And
not that I'm complacent because I left early in twenty
(26:16):
seventeen when they were in the World Series and they
hadn't been since nineteen eighty eight. Not that I'm I
think that you kind of you kind of lose perspective.
It's sort of like showe Aotani, right, Hitch and Pitch.
You just kind of lose perspective on what you're watching
and how lucky you are to be able to present
(26:36):
the product in this time. You know what I mean,
because our job is our job is to present the product,
and you can't control whether the product is good or bad.
And you go along for the ride and you try
to be an ambassador of it to the people that
listen to you, like you were with that Washington football
team a couple of years ago, and you guys did
a fabulous job. I mean you really did, and you
(26:59):
really were able to tap into people's emotions about what
they were seeing. And when it comes to the Dodgers,
I mean back to back World Series and all the
fanfare of Otani and all that different stuff, and there,
let's be honest, they're expected to win. They're not expected
to compete. I mean, they're expected to win the thing.
But when all that happens, it gets harder to have
(27:22):
perspective and convey it to the audience that's used to winning.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I got it all right, man, Well, enjoy your solo
ride home and a chance for some reflection. Enjoy your
evening and we'll talk in a week.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
See you, man. I'm listening to I'm listening to a
book about the Hatfields and McCoy's ah, the history of
their battle right, very interest.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
You could report on that next Wednesday when you come
on the show. We'd love to hear your insight.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
Yeah, they lived on both sides of the river between
Kentucky and West Virginia.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Tell that to Magic Johnson. You can tweet about it,
all right, you're the man, great stuff.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
We'll see you, buddy. What didn't you.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Know that this is a pivotal This is a pivotal game.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Five, Yes it is. And whoever wins tonight, go ahead,
finish the sentence.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I'm at it.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
They're going to control the whole sale.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
That trust Papadakis.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
We're gonna break textimonials, and then Kevin Harlan is going
to join us at five o'clock tonight right here on
