Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I was saying, yesterday we were talking about this redistricting fight, like,
where's Arnold Schwarzenegger. And I know that he is anti jerrymandering.
He's anti redrawing districts when we don't have to. He
posted something a picture of himself on Twitter saying I'm
ready for the jerrymandering fight, and it's him weightlifting with
(00:30):
a shirt that says f the politicians.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I mean he he maintains that image of the image
that he built when he ran for governor during the
recollection of Gray Davis of just you know, politicians suck,
and that's why it resonated so well because we all
feel that way, you know. And I don't need special interests.
I don't need money, I don't need people to tell
me what to do. I'm not bought and sold. And
he's kind of still carrying that torch. I've been seeing
(00:55):
him interviewed on local stations the past couple of days.
But Michael Monks joined us Gavin Newsom to me this
press conference yesterday was Gavin Newsom's team rolling out the
focus group quintessential rally of what it will look like
when he does officially run for president. What do we
need to tweak with this kind of appearance, what kind
(01:17):
of suit works, what kind of other Democrats work? How
does the crowd work out, how does the messaging work?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
All of these things, which chant should we encourage the
crowd to go with?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
And yesterday they tried c safe there.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Because jerry mandering slash redistricting is a very unsexy topic.
You're not going to get a lot of people paying attention.
Even people who are paying attention are not invigored by
this all of the time.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Figured well, outside of that, by the way, there was
this this immigration enforcement operation that took place, and he
mentioned it, as did Karen Bass. A short time later,
Donald Trump and his minions Tom Holman, tough Guy.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Coley decided, coincidentally or not, that this was a location
to advance ice arrest.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Well, I think it's pretty sick and pathetic. They're talking
about disorder in Los Angeles and they are the source
of the disorder in Los Angeles right now. This is
just completely unacceptable. This is a administration, This is a
Customs and Border patrol that has gone amuck, got an
invigored Mayor Karen Bass.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
That was before we found out that the man died
running from the immigration rate at the home depot in Monrovia. Today,
I'm surprised Gavin Newsom isn't already out there. It's not
Karen Bass's issue because it's not in La proper. But
my God, put your money where your mouth is. A
man died running from Trump's raids. I'm just giving you
(02:43):
talking points here, Gavin Eve. It's Trump's agents that were
directed to go to that home depot and psy Was.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
It a targeted operation?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Did you have actual information that there are people there
here illegally? Or was this the same kind of program
that was Rake over the legal coals decades ago in
California and stop and frisk?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
How is that different from just showing up at a
home depot.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Now, this is all laid out there for Gavin Newsom
to eat the fruits of these arguments.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
But he's nowhere.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Why because he has a problem having his finger on
the pulls of what people actually care about, because he's
not a real person.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
You want to get.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
People's emotions, go talk about the father who died on
the two ten running away from one of Trump's raids.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Where is he? I don't know. It's ten to eleven. No, Gavin,
should I leave? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I think we should both have two coffees. I did too.
I don't like mysteries.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I don't like missed opportunities, you know. Yeah, anyway, Sorry, Michael.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
No, it's okay. I think you've set up everything really well.
Don't make eye contact with her.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
It's like, say nice things, say nice things. It's a lot. Look,
I got a busy day ahead.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I'm filling in for Debra be your news anchor for
the rest of the show, and I need to get
over there. So if we can pick up the pace
of more, I can contribute long walk like ninety.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Sorry, No, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
But what you just laid out, all of this stuff
was encapsulated in like a five minute situation in Little
Tokyo in downtown all it was like all of the
politics of Los Angeles and Washington, DC and one felighting quickly,
absolute mad house, just crazy. So you have the redistricting
war taking place inside the Japanese American National Museum and
(04:26):
then outside, the immigration war is unfolding, all of this
colliding on that one street. You have a governor who
is now actively and consistently everyday trolling, there's no other
word for it, trolling the President of the United States,
using the tweet cadence that the president is known for,
the weird capitalization, the quotation marks and all of that.
But the troll back from the White House had a
(04:49):
lot more power than any tweet the governor could send out,
because the governor's having a rally and little Tokyo to say,
we're gonna fight fire with fire. If Trump in Texas
is gonna jerrymander their state California, you shall do the
same thing on behalf of Democrats. And the White House
sent immigration agents right outside the door and only got
a strawberry guy. Clearly, clearly not a coincidence. I mean,
(05:14):
that is a troll that has actual teeth to it
that they're not afraid.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
This fight is ongoing. Nobody's backing down. But to that
end the trolling thing.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
And you know, we've taken Gavin Newsome to task on
this show for doing that. If there's any trolling that
comes out of that office today, it's going to go
it should not.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Go over well, considering a man dies.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
It's happening this morning. I checked because I was curious
if whether that might change the tone of the governor's
strategy online because of the it's all fun and games,
because no redistricting has actually happened yet, right everybody's posturing
right now. No votes have happened, No, no districts have
been redrawn. It's still technically hypothetical. It's something that may
have happen. But the immigration stuff, regardless of where you
(06:02):
stand on it, it does pack an emotional punch because
somebody is being taken away and then sent away, and
that happened right outside. So you think, especially if you're
someone like the governor who is closed to these raids,
that you would take a different tone. That's not the case.
He is tweeting us of today in that same trump.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Oh my god, good lord. Idiots, idiots. This is my issue.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
It's that it's it's.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
If you you can't, on one hand, complain that there's
a angry, brat, childlike person running the country and then
turn around and act like a childlike brat. And you
can't do that. You and they can't claim to have
moral high ground when they're when they're imitating somebody that
(06:51):
they say does not have the moral high it's and
if you.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Really care about the raids like you purported to do
outside of your dog and pony show yesterday, where the
hell are you? Are there not enough cameras in Monrovia
at the home depot this morning? Are there not enough
cameras with that man's daughter who died on the two
ten because he was afraid of Trump and his raids?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I mean this, if there's a moment for him to
be a real person and to be genuine and show
he cares this issue he was just bitching about yesterday
outside the press conference has unfolded in the backyard of
that press conference.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Use that.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
K pop demon Hunters. This is the new hottest thing.
Yesterday we learned that Elmer has been playing some of
the music from that movie on this show.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
M H and I didn't know that. Well, have you
enjoyed it? The movie? The music?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I haven't noticed it. I haven't thought to myself, that's
a catchy tune. I wonder where that's from. I should
watch the movie.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
We have noticed, and we have mentioned several times that
K Pop Demon Hunters is always on the top ten
Netflix shows, and I thought it was about time that
we got an explainer on what the hell it is
got it?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
And I feel like we have people to.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Explain that we do right, not us, not us. We've
been talking animation, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
We've been talking with Michael Bunks a bit about yesterday's
big announcement from Gavin Newsom, basically a kickoff for the
redistricting campaign that he is underway, that he is getting
underway in an attempt to counter what's going on in Texas,
where Texas has proposed redistricting. We do know, by the way,
that some of the Democrats in the state legislature in
(08:55):
Texas that left the state so that they wouldn't have
a quorum, they are apparently headed back to Texas sometime
either today or tomorrow, so that that process can continue.
I don't know if Greg Abbott, the governor there, is
going to follow through on his threats to arrest some
of these people civil arrests, but we'll see how that goes.
(09:16):
The other big issue yesterday was that a man was
hit and killed on the two ten freeway as he
apparently was trying to get away from ICE agents at
a home depot in Monrovia. This would have been about
quarter to ten yesterday. Monrovia police got reports of agents
approaching the home depot and an officer observed possible ICE
(09:39):
agents at the site. DHS said the individual was not
being pursued by DHS by any law enforcement and that
the agency was not aware of the freeway incident until
hours after they concluded what they were doing in that area.
Somebody else said he goes to the home depot in
Monrovia every day at about eight o'clock in of work
(10:00):
in the morning. He said started like any other until
he heard people yelling la migra corre. That's when he
took his phone out started to record. He avoided detention,
but said he felt powerless because he couldn't help his
friends and his workers ran away from those agents. One
of them jumped the concrete wall, got onto the eastbound
(10:23):
two to ten freeway and was quickly hit and killed.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
There are this is an awful story.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I don't care how you feel about immigration, illegal immigration, whatever,
This is an awful story. Guys should not die by
freeway in any circumstance, and it is a weird thing
to your point that Gavin Newsom has not picked up
on this story, because as much as jerry mandering is
(10:56):
a headline right now, very few people care about it.
If he wanted to pick up an issue that's going
to garner a lot of sympathy from people, probably this
would have been the issue for him to pick.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Up on with some person on Twitter. They don't speak
for me. I care about it, Yeah, no, no, no, you
don't care about it. You don't care about it the
way you care about a father getting hit and killed
on the freeway running from a raid. It doesn't get
your blood boiling to hear about redistricting.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, and it's silly for people to suggest that that's what.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Get out of here.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Okay, don't have to say that, Michael Monks, is this
issue going? I mean, this is a guy who died,
he says, or at least the people who saw him
because they was running from an IC raid. I mean,
that's exactly what it sounds like. Certainly we're going to
learn more details, I imagine, but nobody likes to see
(11:44):
somebody die nobody reasonable likes to hear about somebody die,
even if they're running from police, especially if the offense
is just a civil one. I think when we talk
about the events that unfolded yesterday and how the White
House may have pulled what could be described as a
bit of a power troll in doing an immigration enforcement
(12:04):
effort outside of the governor's press conferences rally there in
Little Tokyo, you have to consider that Governor Newsom and
Mayor Bass are both reinvigorated in a way by this
immigration fight. So why we're not hearing more yet about
the death in Monrovia, I don't know, But that incident
(12:25):
in Monrovia because it involved a home depot, the incident
involving the strawberry guy outside in Little Tokyo yesterday, the
other home depot raids that have taken place in recent days,
those are going to be part of what has been
the best tool that the city and the state have
had against the Trump administration, and that is this legal
battle where they have won to stop these very raids.
(12:49):
So if it is determined that the federal government is
in violation of the temporary Restraining Order, I don't know
what the consequences to that will be but there would
be consequences and when the next hearing happens in September
to possibly make that temporary restraining order a permanent injunction.
There's a lot of new evidence for these plaintiffs, like
(13:10):
the City of Los Angeles, the County of Los Angeles,
and the ACLU to present. So we may not be
hearing from the governor yet on this death in Monrovia,
but this will not be the last you hear of it.
I can't imagine that this thing is taking that long
to get another hearing. This is the issue that the
court should be paying attention to right now. That is
(13:32):
the schedule that was set when the original temporary restraining
order was established, that the court would bring the parties
back on September twenty fourth, but it went to the
appeals court only over the temporary restraining order that we're
currently experiencing. If a permanent one is granted, it could
(13:52):
go back to the appeals court. And you also have
the Supreme Court hanging out there. The Trump administration wants
this temporary restraining order to be taken up and blocked
by the Supreme Court. So it's a lot of moving
parts and a complicated legal issue. But the next official
hearing that is on the calendar currently is September twenty fourth,
back here in LA at the district court level. Thank you, Michael,
you got it. Later on we'll talk more about K
(14:14):
pop demon Hunters. We have this new program where people
are being paid to move to you know, Oklahoma is okay,
but also this big rivalry. This a huge weekend baseball wise,
between the Dodgers and the Padres Hight.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
As far as whom you should get to come on.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
The show and talk about the Dodgers Odrey's rivalry, I
think it should be Dan Patrick.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
And when he comes on the show.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
He can talk about Daan Patrick. Yeah and wait, yeah,
it's more about that.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I love that Dan Patrick can come on and talk
about ESPN and more about Dan Patrick. That's what Dan
Patrick can come on and do. I like the Dan
Patrick Show, but my god, let's put.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It call him and talk to him about a local
baseball rivalry now, thank you.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Though you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty, I.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Was actually thinking about Michael Monks and you this morning
listening to new Music Friday and Conan Gray has a
new song out, Caramel, And I believe Michael Monks named
you Garamel this week. Yeah, so I thought it could
have been like your guys's I don't know song.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Let's see you heard it. Yeah, it's pretty good. I
saw him performing. Yeah, you have on the Today Show
or something.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Ben Halen has a new is he still with us?
Carson Gray? What did you say?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
His name was Conan Grey? Caramel? Caramel?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
We will be talking Dodgers padres here in a few minutes.
But in twenty twenty, and Cynthia Rollins decided that she
was going to go live in Oklahoma. She read about
a program called Tulsa Remote pays remote workers to relocate
to Oklahoma's second largest city for at least a year
(16:15):
and get a little paid for it. She decided she
was going to give it a shot, and by November
of twenty twenty, again deep into COVID. For one thing,
she was a full time resident of Oklahoma Tulsa Remote.
This program to get people to move to Tulsa has
attracted more than thirty six hundred people since it was
developed back in twenty nineteen. More than seven seven eight
(16:39):
hundred people from California have applied to the program. Five
hundred and thirty nine of them have made the move,
which means that California is the second most popular origin
state for this behind Texas. More Californians have moved to
Tulsa than those who come from Florida or New York.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
As an example, she.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Says, I definitely had people ask me what's in Tulsa,
and I was like, I have no idea. Who knows
what's in Tulsa, But I'm going to find out. It
is less expensive, obviously to live in Tulsa than any
major metro area in California. That has been a huge
bonus for other people to make the move. Zach Minke
and his wife Katie are among them. They went from
a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment for twenty four hundred
(17:25):
dollars on LA's West Side t which I say, balloney,
how the hell control something? It's got to be like
that should not be your example of what the west
side is. When you a two bedroom on the west
side for twenty four hundred dollars, that no anyway. They've
gone to a five bedroom, three bathroom house for just
(17:46):
a few hundred dollars more.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Similar programs in encouraging people to move in and remotely
work have popped up in places like Alabama and Kansas
and Arkansas West Virginia.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
There's a difference.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Zach used to spend his days running along the beach,
but now he takes Ruth, their three year old, to
explore Tulsa's parks and the Discovery Lab, a kids science museum.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
The thing about California is, my god, it takes your
breath away when you go out to the beach today
in the summer or any time of year.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
You go to the mountains, you go to.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
A big sur you go to San Diego, you go
up in northern California and go hiking. I mean, it
takes your breath away all over the state. You don't
get that in Tulsa. Heather was born in Tulsa.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Oh was she? You're telling me all about it?
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Cool? Yeah, I mean, I'm not knocking Tulsa.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I'm just saying California has a lot of things besides
the high taxes, high rent, high crime. Oh, a lot
of breath taking spots of California.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
And what I've noticed, I haven't been all over the place,
not anywhere near as many cities and towns as you
have within the country. But the place I have gone,
it's got whatever you need. Like I actually think, I
think about my daughter's in Waco, and you know, people like,
oh it's a cowtown, and yeah, but it's got whatever.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Whatever, got everything you need. Yeah, the culture may be different, definitely.
People are nicer.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I mean, yeah, anywhere else, anywhere else there seems to
be more polite and nicer and more curious about you.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
But it's got what you need.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
It's not like, well, I drive an electric car, I
don't know if I'm going to have a charger in Waco.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Yeah you are. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
You get out of LA and Manhattan, where everyone's me me, me, me, me, me, me,
me me me. I mean you even go to New
Jersey and people are nicer. You realize, though, when you
get out to other places that people care about you
and they care about each other, and it's refreshing and
it also takes your breath away.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
The ten thousand bucks thing as well, you have to
be eighteen years old. You have to be authorized to
work in the US. You have to have full time
remote employment outside of Oklahoma, and have the ability to
relocate within twelve months and have lived outside the state
for a full year before applying outside the state of Oklahoma.
That's their program specifically, but like I said, there are
other states who do similar things.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
All right, Coming up next, it's one of the hottest rivalry,
is if not right now the hottest rivalry and baseball
the Dodgers and the Padres. How did it become the
most heated modern rivalry. Tim Kats, the voice of the Dodgers,
will join us coming up next about what's going to
feel very much like October baseball at Chavez Ravine.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Tonight, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Weather Wise, Aaron has become a Category one hurricane out
in the Atlantic, expected to strengthen very rapidly, could be
Category four before too long. And they're saying they expect
to see heavy surf, high surf, heavy rains along a
lot of the Eastern Seaboard over the course of the
next several days. Even if Aaron never makes landfall.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
It is a what you learned Friday on the Gary
and Shannon Show. Let us know what you learn this
week from the show, and we will play those back
coming up in the massive twelve o'clock hour. Just use
a talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. You to have
that little microphone on your screen and talk to us.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Nine games.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, they were up nine games. The Dodgers were up
nine games, and then they blew twenty out of thirty
three and find themselves in second place behind the hated Padres.
I mean, what the hell is going on? I mean,
it was a vaunted bullpen until it was not.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
There's a great This is not if you're a Dodgers fan.
This is not great. Since I'm a Giants fan and
we've already been punched in the gut all season. Here's
this thing.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Baseball's four hundred million dollars super team is sinking fast.
That's the Wall Street Journals headline about the Dodgers, and
it goes through and explains, listen, they've had us. They
had an incredible offseason right where they brought in all
of these different stars, pitchers, fielders, everybody. Right, You've got
a multiple v multiple time MVP and show hey Otani,
(22:10):
and still you cannot hold a nine game lead in
the National League West.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Tim Kates is the voice of your Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
You can catch him on Dodger Talk whenever the Dodgers
are in action and Tim kats what the hell is
going on? I mean to blow that nine game lead
to dr I mean the fact that this team, where
it's just blockbuster name after block has it in them
to have a skid like this bullpen be damned, is shocking,
(22:39):
is it not?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
It is, especially since the lineup, as Gary was talking about,
with all those superstars, for the most part, has been intact.
You've had Freddie Freeman, You've had Mookie Bets, and you've
had Showey Otani, the Big three pretty much in the lineup. Now,
their production has been down, but health wise, they've all
been in the lineup during this twelve and twenty one
on stretch. It's July fourth, in which a nine game lead,
(23:03):
as you mentioned, is now a one game deficit to
the Padres. But I think the biggest thing that people
are panicking there right now is can this team flipped
the switch? Guys, And they've proven well the Angels series,
they'll flip the switch. Right This is the Angels team
that's under five hundred out of the playoff race for
the most parts that for the wild card they'll they'll
take care of the age. They'll get back on track
with you. Well, they lose all three games of the Angels,
(23:25):
and so when are they going to get back on track.
When are they going to flip the switch? That's the
biggest question. I think now panic is literally starting to
sett in with odd Defan.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Gary brought up the Giants yesterday and it was funny
because it used to be the Giants Dodgers. That was
the rivalry we all talked about, you know, growing up.
That was it. I mean, I learned so many curse
words from my dad and what he would say about
Tommy Lesorda because it went back to it went back
so long, right, But now it's all about the Dodgers Padres.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
How has this become the hottest rivalry?
Speaker 4 (23:58):
I think in recent history. It's now the rivalry because
of the success of the Padres. And I think the
Manny Machado crossover got it started. Right a Dodger they
bring him over in trade from the at the trade deadline,
doesn't go to the World Series. So he signed the
big three hundred million dollar contract with the Padres that
I think started it. And then the back and forth
of the fans that he had and then they kept stockpiling,
(24:20):
and they kept kind of nagging the Dodgers and taking
shots at the Dodgers, and the fan base in San
Diego's feeling pretty good about themselves and feeling more confident,
and so I think it just kind of naturally built.
And then the Dodgers got knocked off by the Padres
a few years ago and the NLDS, and I think
that was what really shot it to the next level
(24:41):
between these two cities. Now you can ask everybody in
LA as you know, they don't really consider the Padres
the big rival, as you mentioned the Giants, but let's
be real. These games have been closed. There's a heat
between these two teams on and off the field. The
managers got at it last time at Dodgers Stadium that
these two teams based off. And I don't know, guys,
you're a guy like me, old school baseball guy. I
(25:01):
don't like the scheduling. I don't like the fact that
they played six times against each other in a two
week span earlier in the season, and now again here
we are in late August and they're going to face
each other six times in two weeks and that's it.
They're not going to see each other the rest of
the way. I mean, what happens to playing three games
here and then three games to September, you know when
it's really going to count and maybe it's a one game,
(25:22):
you know, separating these two teams, they won't see each
other the entire month of September and they had to
head you know, fight for the division.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah, that has always struck me since we've switched the schedules,
that always struck me as weird. Why wouldn't they you know,
backload these where when it comes down to the division
that last week of the season.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
That's all you do as you play within the division.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
But you mentioned this, the the kind of the chirpiness
that's going on between these two teams as well as
that's going to rear it's ugly head. I think it's
almost a guarantee that there's going to be some incident
this weekend because there's so much on the line, because
the emotions are so high. Tatisa is going to a
ball in the noodle at some point.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Yeah, and they went after to tease that Dodger Datium
the last time they faced each other. Remember then shoey
Otani got hit by the Padres relievers late in the game,
and that's when Show he went over and you know,
talk to the guys in the Padres bench to kind
of squash it and hopefully put it into it. But
I think it is gonna rare. It's likely ahead again
this week, and I think now that they're even more
(26:23):
so in a fight for the division, and the Padres
are the hot team, and the Dodgers of the team
right right now scrambling to get back on track. There
could be some it could come from the Dodgers. Who
knows that that panic, that that sense of oh, we've
had to do something to get us going here, we
need a little jump start. Maybe it takes, you know,
somebody getting a little heated in this game. But certainly
the Padres of the team, and I heard it yesterday
(26:45):
perfectly described. They're the agitator. They're the team that likes
to get earth your skin. Their fan base does that.
The players do that, and to get you out of
your game, to get you off course. They maybe get
you thinking about how we hate these guys. Oh I
don't like the way this guy's pitching is inside and
so you get you're going to get off your game
in the series. And that's exactly how this Padres team is.
(27:05):
That's they like to get after you.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
That I think is the attitude you mentioned Manny Machado.
That strikes me as a Manny Machado attitude that has
permeated that entire sea.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
So off brand for such a lovely place like San Diago, right,
this is a pissed off fan base. They have the
Chargers taken from them. They're mad, they're tired of being
called and being called nice, and I think they embraced
that bad boy mentality.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Well, they certainly had with Manny leading the way. And
then you know, they got a good team. Let's take
the rivalry, the heat between these two teams out of
the equation on the field. These are two really good teams.
Obviously the Dodgers have a great team, but the Padres
do too. And let's not lose fact that they added
Mason Miller, the best reliever in baseball, at the trade deadline.
(27:51):
They've emptied their farm system the last five years, from
you know, the Jan Soto trade to the Nationals. Like
four different starters on the Nationals right now are all
with Padre prospects. They have gone in every year the
last five seasons to try to win a World Series,
and they did it again at the deadline. Everybody wants
to talk aboutw much the Dodgers did and spent in
the off season. Well, it may not be financially. They
(28:12):
did it in Capitol with prospects. The Padres have gone
all in on this season and on paper they're a
really good teams. You can make a case and a
lot of positions are better than the Dodgers, you know,
head to head.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I hope you don't mind.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I saw that you had a package from MLB dot
com shop in the mailroom. I opened it. Your Milwaukee
Brewer sweatshirt is here. I'll leave it on your desk.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Nice. You know, you know, I just learned that the
MN tob is like the ball and the gloves.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
You just learned that seven. I'm just kidding, sweet Jesus.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
You know what, Gary, A lot of people, a lot
of people who are listening at right now, they're they're like,
my god, he's right, Yep, that's an M and B
in the glove and the ball.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Never saw are Jim Kates?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
What do you do pregame before a big game like tonight?
Like are you our prey in your pre game like
warm ups for Dodger Talk.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Just like you, Shannon on the field, You're dialed in,
you're watching warm ups. I'm doing the same thing right now.
I'm getting my pregame ready, I'm getting all the stats ready,
I'm getting my voice ready. I'm ready to go. Plus
Petro some money. You'll be live at Tranto La Hill
Brewery in Thousand Oaks today, so I'll be doing the
pregame show from the eight oh five area code later
on the seven and of course where Dodger fans live
(29:24):
out there.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
That's a that's a big day. That sounds like a
lot of fun. You're not even more in pants right now.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Are you?
Speaker 4 (29:30):
How did you know?

AM six forty
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I was saying, yesterday we were talking about this redistricting fight, like,
where's Arnold Schwarzenegger. And I know that he is anti jerrymandering.
He's anti redrawing districts when we don't have to. He
posted something a picture of himself on Twitter saying I'm
ready for the jerrymandering fight, and it's him weightlifting with
(00:30):
a shirt that says f the politicians.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I mean he he maintains that image of the image
that he built when he ran for governor during the
recollection of Gray Davis of just you know, politicians suck,
and that's why it resonated so well because we all
feel that way, you know. And I don't need special interests.
I don't need money, I don't need people to tell
me what to do. I'm not bought and sold. And
he's kind of still carrying that torch. I've been seeing
(00:55):
him interviewed on local stations the past couple of days.
But Michael Monks joined us Gavin Newsom to me this
press conference yesterday was Gavin Newsom's team rolling out the
focus group quintessential rally of what it will look like
when he does officially run for president. What do we
need to tweak with this kind of appearance, what kind
(01:17):
of suit works, what kind of other Democrats work? How
does the crowd work out, how does the messaging work?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
All of these things, which chant should we encourage the
crowd to go with?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
And yesterday they tried c safe there.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Because jerry mandering slash redistricting is a very unsexy topic.
You're not going to get a lot of people paying attention.
Even people who are paying attention are not invigored by
this all of the time.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Figured well, outside of that, by the way, there was
this this immigration enforcement operation that took place, and he
mentioned it, as did Karen Bass. A short time later,
Donald Trump and his minions Tom Holman, tough Guy.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Coley decided, coincidentally or not, that this was a location
to advance ice arrest.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Well, I think it's pretty sick and pathetic. They're talking
about disorder in Los Angeles and they are the source
of the disorder in Los Angeles right now. This is
just completely unacceptable. This is a administration, This is a
Customs and Border patrol that has gone amuck, got an
invigored Mayor Karen Bass.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
That was before we found out that the man died
running from the immigration rate at the home depot in Monrovia. Today,
I'm surprised Gavin Newsom isn't already out there. It's not
Karen Bass's issue because it's not in La proper. But
my God, put your money where your mouth is. A
man died running from Trump's raids. I'm just giving you
(02:43):
talking points here, Gavin Eve. It's Trump's agents that were
directed to go to that home depot and psy Was.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
It a targeted operation?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Did you have actual information that there are people there
here illegally? Or was this the same kind of program
that was Rake over the legal coals decades ago in
California and stop and frisk?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
How is that different from just showing up at a
home depot.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Now, this is all laid out there for Gavin Newsom
to eat the fruits of these arguments.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
But he's nowhere.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Why because he has a problem having his finger on
the pulls of what people actually care about, because he's
not a real person.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
You want to get.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
People's emotions, go talk about the father who died on
the two ten running away from one of Trump's raids.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Where is he? I don't know. It's ten to eleven. No, Gavin,
should I leave? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I think we should both have two coffees. I did too.
I don't like mysteries.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I don't like missed opportunities, you know. Yeah, anyway, Sorry, Michael.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
No, it's okay. I think you've set up everything really well.
Don't make eye contact with her.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
It's like, say nice things, say nice things. It's a lot. Look,
I got a busy day ahead.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I'm filling in for Debra be your news anchor for
the rest of the show, and I need to get
over there. So if we can pick up the pace
of more, I can contribute long walk like ninety.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Sorry, No, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
But what you just laid out, all of this stuff
was encapsulated in like a five minute situation in Little
Tokyo in downtown all it was like all of the
politics of Los Angeles and Washington, DC and one felighting quickly,
absolute mad house, just crazy. So you have the redistricting
war taking place inside the Japanese American National Museum and
(04:26):
then outside, the immigration war is unfolding, all of this
colliding on that one street. You have a governor who
is now actively and consistently everyday trolling, there's no other
word for it, trolling the President of the United States,
using the tweet cadence that the president is known for,
the weird capitalization, the quotation marks and all of that.
But the troll back from the White House had a
(04:49):
lot more power than any tweet the governor could send out,
because the governor's having a rally and little Tokyo to say,
we're gonna fight fire with fire. If Trump in Texas
is gonna jerrymander their state California, you shall do the
same thing on behalf of Democrats. And the White House
sent immigration agents right outside the door and only got
a strawberry guy. Clearly, clearly not a coincidence. I mean,
(05:14):
that is a troll that has actual teeth to it
that they're not afraid.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
This fight is ongoing. Nobody's backing down. But to that
end the trolling thing.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
And you know, we've taken Gavin Newsome to task on
this show for doing that. If there's any trolling that
comes out of that office today, it's going to go
it should not.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Go over well, considering a man dies.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
It's happening this morning. I checked because I was curious
if whether that might change the tone of the governor's
strategy online because of the it's all fun and games,
because no redistricting has actually happened yet, right everybody's posturing
right now. No votes have happened, No, no districts have
been redrawn. It's still technically hypothetical. It's something that may
have happen. But the immigration stuff, regardless of where you
(06:02):
stand on it, it does pack an emotional punch because
somebody is being taken away and then sent away, and
that happened right outside. So you think, especially if you're
someone like the governor who is closed to these raids,
that you would take a different tone. That's not the case.
He is tweeting us of today in that same trump.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Oh my god, good lord. Idiots, idiots. This is my issue.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
It's that it's it's.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
If you you can't, on one hand, complain that there's
a angry, brat, childlike person running the country and then
turn around and act like a childlike brat. And you
can't do that. You and they can't claim to have
moral high ground when they're when they're imitating somebody that
(06:51):
they say does not have the moral high it's and
if you.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Really care about the raids like you purported to do
outside of your dog and pony show yesterday, where the
hell are you? Are there not enough cameras in Monrovia
at the home depot this morning? Are there not enough
cameras with that man's daughter who died on the two
ten because he was afraid of Trump and his raids?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I mean this, if there's a moment for him to
be a real person and to be genuine and show
he cares this issue he was just bitching about yesterday
outside the press conference has unfolded in the backyard of
that press conference.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Use that.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
K pop demon Hunters. This is the new hottest thing.
Yesterday we learned that Elmer has been playing some of
the music from that movie on this show.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
M H and I didn't know that. Well, have you
enjoyed it? The movie? The music?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I haven't noticed it. I haven't thought to myself, that's
a catchy tune. I wonder where that's from. I should
watch the movie.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
We have noticed, and we have mentioned several times that
K Pop Demon Hunters is always on the top ten
Netflix shows, and I thought it was about time that
we got an explainer on what the hell it is
got it?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
And I feel like we have people to.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Explain that we do right, not us, not us. We've
been talking animation, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
We've been talking with Michael Bunks a bit about yesterday's
big announcement from Gavin Newsom, basically a kickoff for the
redistricting campaign that he is underway, that he is getting
underway in an attempt to counter what's going on in Texas,
where Texas has proposed redistricting. We do know, by the way,
that some of the Democrats in the state legislature in
(08:55):
Texas that left the state so that they wouldn't have
a quorum, they are apparently headed back to Texas sometime
either today or tomorrow, so that that process can continue.
I don't know if Greg Abbott, the governor there, is
going to follow through on his threats to arrest some
of these people civil arrests, but we'll see how that goes.
(09:16):
The other big issue yesterday was that a man was
hit and killed on the two ten freeway as he
apparently was trying to get away from ICE agents at
a home depot in Monrovia. This would have been about
quarter to ten yesterday. Monrovia police got reports of agents
approaching the home depot and an officer observed possible ICE
(09:39):
agents at the site. DHS said the individual was not
being pursued by DHS by any law enforcement and that
the agency was not aware of the freeway incident until
hours after they concluded what they were doing in that area.
Somebody else said he goes to the home depot in
Monrovia every day at about eight o'clock in of work
(10:00):
in the morning. He said started like any other until
he heard people yelling la migra corre. That's when he
took his phone out started to record. He avoided detention,
but said he felt powerless because he couldn't help his
friends and his workers ran away from those agents. One
of them jumped the concrete wall, got onto the eastbound
(10:23):
two to ten freeway and was quickly hit and killed.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
There are this is an awful story.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I don't care how you feel about immigration, illegal immigration, whatever,
This is an awful story. Guys should not die by
freeway in any circumstance, and it is a weird thing
to your point that Gavin Newsom has not picked up
on this story, because as much as jerry mandering is
(10:56):
a headline right now, very few people care about it.
If he wanted to pick up an issue that's going
to garner a lot of sympathy from people, probably this
would have been the issue for him to pick.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Up on with some person on Twitter. They don't speak
for me. I care about it, Yeah, no, no, no, you
don't care about it. You don't care about it the
way you care about a father getting hit and killed
on the freeway running from a raid. It doesn't get
your blood boiling to hear about redistricting.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, and it's silly for people to suggest that that's what.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Get out of here.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Okay, don't have to say that, Michael Monks, is this
issue going? I mean, this is a guy who died,
he says, or at least the people who saw him
because they was running from an IC raid. I mean,
that's exactly what it sounds like. Certainly we're going to
learn more details, I imagine, but nobody likes to see
(11:44):
somebody die nobody reasonable likes to hear about somebody die,
even if they're running from police, especially if the offense
is just a civil one. I think when we talk
about the events that unfolded yesterday and how the White
House may have pulled what could be described as a
bit of a power troll in doing an immigration enforcement
(12:04):
effort outside of the governor's press conferences rally there in
Little Tokyo, you have to consider that Governor Newsom and
Mayor Bass are both reinvigorated in a way by this
immigration fight. So why we're not hearing more yet about
the death in Monrovia, I don't know, But that incident
(12:25):
in Monrovia because it involved a home depot, the incident
involving the strawberry guy outside in Little Tokyo yesterday, the
other home depot raids that have taken place in recent days,
those are going to be part of what has been
the best tool that the city and the state have
had against the Trump administration, and that is this legal
battle where they have won to stop these very raids.
(12:49):
So if it is determined that the federal government is
in violation of the temporary Restraining Order, I don't know
what the consequences to that will be but there would
be consequences and when the next hearing happens in September
to possibly make that temporary restraining order a permanent injunction.
There's a lot of new evidence for these plaintiffs, like
(13:10):
the City of Los Angeles, the County of Los Angeles,
and the ACLU to present. So we may not be
hearing from the governor yet on this death in Monrovia,
but this will not be the last you hear of it.
I can't imagine that this thing is taking that long
to get another hearing. This is the issue that the
court should be paying attention to right now. That is
(13:32):
the schedule that was set when the original temporary restraining
order was established, that the court would bring the parties
back on September twenty fourth, but it went to the
appeals court only over the temporary restraining order that we're
currently experiencing. If a permanent one is granted, it could
(13:52):
go back to the appeals court. And you also have
the Supreme Court hanging out there. The Trump administration wants
this temporary restraining order to be taken up and blocked
by the Supreme Court. So it's a lot of moving
parts and a complicated legal issue. But the next official
hearing that is on the calendar currently is September twenty fourth,
back here in LA at the district court level. Thank you, Michael,
you got it. Later on we'll talk more about K
(14:14):
pop demon Hunters. We have this new program where people
are being paid to move to you know, Oklahoma is okay,
but also this big rivalry. This a huge weekend baseball wise,
between the Dodgers and the Padres Hight.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
As far as whom you should get to come on.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
The show and talk about the Dodgers Odrey's rivalry, I
think it should be Dan Patrick.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
And when he comes on the show.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
He can talk about Daan Patrick. Yeah and wait, yeah,
it's more about that.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I love that Dan Patrick can come on and talk
about ESPN and more about Dan Patrick. That's what Dan
Patrick can come on and do. I like the Dan
Patrick Show, but my god, let's put.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It call him and talk to him about a local
baseball rivalry now, thank you.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Though you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty, I.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Was actually thinking about Michael Monks and you this morning
listening to new Music Friday and Conan Gray has a
new song out, Caramel, And I believe Michael Monks named
you Garamel this week. Yeah, so I thought it could
have been like your guys's I don't know song.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Let's see you heard it. Yeah, it's pretty good. I
saw him performing. Yeah, you have on the Today Show
or something.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Ben Halen has a new is he still with us?
Carson Gray? What did you say?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
His name was Conan Grey? Caramel? Caramel?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
We will be talking Dodgers padres here in a few minutes.
But in twenty twenty, and Cynthia Rollins decided that she
was going to go live in Oklahoma. She read about
a program called Tulsa Remote pays remote workers to relocate
to Oklahoma's second largest city for at least a year
(16:15):
and get a little paid for it. She decided she
was going to give it a shot, and by November
of twenty twenty, again deep into COVID. For one thing,
she was a full time resident of Oklahoma Tulsa Remote.
This program to get people to move to Tulsa has
attracted more than thirty six hundred people since it was
developed back in twenty nineteen. More than seven seven eight
(16:39):
hundred people from California have applied to the program. Five
hundred and thirty nine of them have made the move,
which means that California is the second most popular origin
state for this behind Texas. More Californians have moved to
Tulsa than those who come from Florida or New York.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
As an example, she.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Says, I definitely had people ask me what's in Tulsa,
and I was like, I have no idea. Who knows
what's in Tulsa, But I'm going to find out. It
is less expensive, obviously to live in Tulsa than any
major metro area in California. That has been a huge
bonus for other people to make the move. Zach Minke
and his wife Katie are among them. They went from
a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment for twenty four hundred
(17:25):
dollars on LA's West Side t which I say, balloney,
how the hell control something? It's got to be like
that should not be your example of what the west
side is. When you a two bedroom on the west
side for twenty four hundred dollars, that no anyway. They've
gone to a five bedroom, three bathroom house for just
(17:46):
a few hundred dollars more.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Similar programs in encouraging people to move in and remotely
work have popped up in places like Alabama and Kansas
and Arkansas West Virginia.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
There's a difference.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Zach used to spend his days running along the beach,
but now he takes Ruth, their three year old, to
explore Tulsa's parks and the Discovery Lab, a kids science museum.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
The thing about California is, my god, it takes your
breath away when you go out to the beach today
in the summer or any time of year.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
You go to the mountains, you go to.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
A big sur you go to San Diego, you go
up in northern California and go hiking. I mean, it
takes your breath away all over the state. You don't
get that in Tulsa. Heather was born in Tulsa.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Oh was she? You're telling me all about it?
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Cool? Yeah, I mean, I'm not knocking Tulsa.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I'm just saying California has a lot of things besides
the high taxes, high rent, high crime. Oh, a lot
of breath taking spots of California.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
And what I've noticed, I haven't been all over the place,
not anywhere near as many cities and towns as you
have within the country. But the place I have gone,
it's got whatever you need. Like I actually think, I
think about my daughter's in Waco, and you know, people like,
oh it's a cowtown, and yeah, but it's got whatever.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Whatever, got everything you need. Yeah, the culture may be different, definitely.
People are nicer.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I mean, yeah, anywhere else, anywhere else there seems to
be more polite and nicer and more curious about you.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
But it's got what you need.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
It's not like, well, I drive an electric car, I
don't know if I'm going to have a charger in Waco.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Yeah you are. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
You get out of LA and Manhattan, where everyone's me me, me, me, me, me, me,
me me me. I mean you even go to New
Jersey and people are nicer. You realize, though, when you
get out to other places that people care about you
and they care about each other, and it's refreshing and
it also takes your breath away.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
The ten thousand bucks thing as well, you have to
be eighteen years old. You have to be authorized to
work in the US. You have to have full time
remote employment outside of Oklahoma, and have the ability to
relocate within twelve months and have lived outside the state
for a full year before applying outside the state of Oklahoma.
That's their program specifically, but like I said, there are
other states who do similar things.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
All right, Coming up next, it's one of the hottest rivalry,
is if not right now the hottest rivalry and baseball
the Dodgers and the Padres. How did it become the
most heated modern rivalry. Tim Kats, the voice of the Dodgers,
will join us coming up next about what's going to
feel very much like October baseball at Chavez Ravine.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Tonight, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Weather Wise, Aaron has become a Category one hurricane out
in the Atlantic, expected to strengthen very rapidly, could be
Category four before too long. And they're saying they expect
to see heavy surf, high surf, heavy rains along a
lot of the Eastern Seaboard over the course of the
next several days. Even if Aaron never makes landfall.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
It is a what you learned Friday on the Gary
and Shannon Show. Let us know what you learn this
week from the show, and we will play those back
coming up in the massive twelve o'clock hour. Just use
a talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. You to have
that little microphone on your screen and talk to us.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Nine games.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, they were up nine games. The Dodgers were up
nine games, and then they blew twenty out of thirty
three and find themselves in second place behind the hated Padres.
I mean, what the hell is going on? I mean,
it was a vaunted bullpen until it was not.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
There's a great This is not if you're a Dodgers fan.
This is not great. Since I'm a Giants fan and
we've already been punched in the gut all season. Here's
this thing.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Baseball's four hundred million dollars super team is sinking fast.
That's the Wall Street Journals headline about the Dodgers, and
it goes through and explains, listen, they've had us. They
had an incredible offseason right where they brought in all
of these different stars, pitchers, fielders, everybody. Right, You've got
a multiple v multiple time MVP and show hey Otani,
(22:10):
and still you cannot hold a nine game lead in
the National League West.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Tim Kates is the voice of your Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
You can catch him on Dodger Talk whenever the Dodgers
are in action and Tim kats what the hell is
going on? I mean to blow that nine game lead
to dr I mean the fact that this team, where
it's just blockbuster name after block has it in them
to have a skid like this bullpen be damned, is shocking,
(22:39):
is it not?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
It is, especially since the lineup, as Gary was talking about,
with all those superstars, for the most part, has been intact.
You've had Freddie Freeman, You've had Mookie Bets, and you've
had Showey Otani, the Big three pretty much in the lineup. Now,
their production has been down, but health wise, they've all
been in the lineup during this twelve and twenty one
on stretch. It's July fourth, in which a nine game lead,
(23:03):
as you mentioned, is now a one game deficit to
the Padres. But I think the biggest thing that people
are panicking there right now is can this team flipped
the switch? Guys, And they've proven well the Angels series,
they'll flip the switch. Right This is the Angels team
that's under five hundred out of the playoff race for
the most parts that for the wild card they'll they'll
take care of the age. They'll get back on track
with you. Well, they lose all three games of the Angels,
(23:25):
and so when are they going to get back on track.
When are they going to flip the switch? That's the
biggest question. I think now panic is literally starting to
sett in with odd Defan.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Gary brought up the Giants yesterday and it was funny
because it used to be the Giants Dodgers. That was
the rivalry we all talked about, you know, growing up.
That was it. I mean, I learned so many curse
words from my dad and what he would say about
Tommy Lesorda because it went back to it went back
so long, right, But now it's all about the Dodgers Padres.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
How has this become the hottest rivalry?
Speaker 4 (23:58):
I think in recent history. It's now the rivalry because
of the success of the Padres. And I think the
Manny Machado crossover got it started. Right a Dodger they
bring him over in trade from the at the trade deadline,
doesn't go to the World Series. So he signed the
big three hundred million dollar contract with the Padres that
I think started it. And then the back and forth
of the fans that he had and then they kept stockpiling,
(24:20):
and they kept kind of nagging the Dodgers and taking
shots at the Dodgers, and the fan base in San
Diego's feeling pretty good about themselves and feeling more confident,
and so I think it just kind of naturally built.
And then the Dodgers got knocked off by the Padres
a few years ago and the NLDS, and I think
that was what really shot it to the next level
(24:41):
between these two cities. Now you can ask everybody in
LA as you know, they don't really consider the Padres
the big rival, as you mentioned the Giants, but let's
be real. These games have been closed. There's a heat
between these two teams on and off the field. The
managers got at it last time at Dodgers Stadium that
these two teams based off. And I don't know, guys,
you're a guy like me, old school baseball guy. I
(25:01):
don't like the scheduling. I don't like the fact that
they played six times against each other in a two
week span earlier in the season, and now again here
we are in late August and they're going to face
each other six times in two weeks and that's it.
They're not going to see each other the rest of
the way. I mean, what happens to playing three games
here and then three games to September, you know when
it's really going to count and maybe it's a one game,
(25:22):
you know, separating these two teams, they won't see each
other the entire month of September and they had to
head you know, fight for the division.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah, that has always struck me since we've switched the schedules,
that always struck me as weird. Why wouldn't they you know,
backload these where when it comes down to the division
that last week of the season.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
That's all you do as you play within the division.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
But you mentioned this, the the kind of the chirpiness
that's going on between these two teams as well as
that's going to rear it's ugly head. I think it's
almost a guarantee that there's going to be some incident
this weekend because there's so much on the line, because
the emotions are so high. Tatisa is going to a
ball in the noodle at some point.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Yeah, and they went after to tease that Dodger Datium
the last time they faced each other. Remember then shoey
Otani got hit by the Padres relievers late in the game,
and that's when Show he went over and you know,
talk to the guys in the Padres bench to kind
of squash it and hopefully put it into it. But
I think it is gonna rare. It's likely ahead again
this week, and I think now that they're even more
(26:23):
so in a fight for the division, and the Padres
are the hot team, and the Dodgers of the team
right right now scrambling to get back on track. There
could be some it could come from the Dodgers. Who
knows that that panic, that that sense of oh, we've
had to do something to get us going here, we
need a little jump start. Maybe it takes, you know,
somebody getting a little heated in this game. But certainly
the Padres of the team, and I heard it yesterday
(26:45):
perfectly described. They're the agitator. They're the team that likes
to get earth your skin. Their fan base does that.
The players do that, and to get you out of
your game, to get you off course. They maybe get
you thinking about how we hate these guys. Oh I
don't like the way this guy's pitching is inside and
so you get you're going to get off your game
in the series. And that's exactly how this Padres team is.
(27:05):
That's they like to get after you.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
That I think is the attitude you mentioned Manny Machado.
That strikes me as a Manny Machado attitude that has
permeated that entire sea.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
So off brand for such a lovely place like San Diago, right,
this is a pissed off fan base. They have the
Chargers taken from them. They're mad, they're tired of being
called and being called nice, and I think they embraced
that bad boy mentality.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Well, they certainly had with Manny leading the way. And
then you know, they got a good team. Let's take
the rivalry, the heat between these two teams out of
the equation on the field. These are two really good teams.
Obviously the Dodgers have a great team, but the Padres
do too. And let's not lose fact that they added
Mason Miller, the best reliever in baseball, at the trade deadline.
(27:51):
They've emptied their farm system the last five years, from
you know, the Jan Soto trade to the Nationals. Like
four different starters on the Nationals right now are all
with Padre prospects. They have gone in every year the
last five seasons to try to win a World Series,
and they did it again at the deadline. Everybody wants
to talk aboutw much the Dodgers did and spent in
the off season. Well, it may not be financially. They
(28:12):
did it in Capitol with prospects. The Padres have gone
all in on this season and on paper they're a
really good teams. You can make a case and a
lot of positions are better than the Dodgers, you know,
head to head.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I hope you don't mind.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I saw that you had a package from MLB dot
com shop in the mailroom. I opened it. Your Milwaukee
Brewer sweatshirt is here. I'll leave it on your desk.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Nice. You know, you know, I just learned that the
MN tob is like the ball and the gloves.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
You just learned that seven. I'm just kidding, sweet Jesus.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
You know what, Gary, A lot of people, a lot
of people who are listening at right now, they're they're like,
my god, he's right, Yep, that's an M and B
in the glove and the ball.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Never saw are Jim Kates?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
What do you do pregame before a big game like tonight?
Like are you our prey in your pre game like
warm ups for Dodger Talk.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
