Speaker 2: Where you're gonna watch the game, Kates?
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna be at the kook.
Speaker 2: I got multiple options, Matt, where I figured you're a
Speaker 2: popular man around town. Everybody wants to host of scam
Speaker 2: and Dodgers on deck at their World Series watch party
Speaker 2: on a Friday night. I'd like to.
Speaker 5: Think that, but the only places I really have to
Speaker 5: watch it are the studio with Colin Ye, which is
Speaker 5: a good option. It's a good option because Tim Conway
Speaker 5: comes over during the breaks and watches the.
Speaker 6: Game with dogs.
Speaker 4: See that big dog?
Speaker 6: Hey, look at that bad that guy release from the battery.
Speaker 3: Well, oh.
Speaker 2: I can go.
Speaker 4: You can't hit it? Candy? Who Dominican fella?
Speaker 6: How did he get here?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 5: They have the viewing party at the house that we're
Speaker 5: gonna have with the family.
Speaker 2: They have friends coming over, girls got friends coming over
Speaker 2: and wipe out people coming over? Like what kind of
Speaker 2: party were talking at?
Speaker 4: Another big night for the sady lady.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, because later tonight they're actually going over to
Speaker 5: Glendale College for a village Christian football at senior Night,
Speaker 5: so the athletic trainers are getting.
Speaker 6: Recognized as well, so she's gonna get reconized.
Speaker 4: Just a jam packed night for the host of scam,
Speaker 4: no rest for the weary, but.
Speaker 5: Don khu goes there is always an option. Let's Seeah,
Speaker 5: that's what we're talking about. What's the what's the largest
Speaker 5: TV at Don Kucko's. How big would you say.
Speaker 2: That, Matt?
Speaker 5: It's probably about out of fifty inches.
Speaker 4: I think you feel like you're right on the fifty
Speaker 4: yard line, like the Beach's restaurant.
Speaker 5: In brew house, there's one, two, three, four. I think
Speaker 5: there's five TVs in the bar.
Speaker 4: In the bar, Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 2: I get right, I.
Speaker 5: Get right in the corner corner booth. It's about five
Speaker 5: to six. Can really stretch out if there's only the
Speaker 5: two of us.
Speaker 4: I believe that was a Tim Conways story the other day.
Speaker 4: He came in and told uh Don McClean and I
Speaker 4: I believe really that he was at Don Cucko's and
Speaker 4: every TV had something on. None of them had the
Speaker 4: Clipper game on, even though it's La Ding Dog.
Speaker 2: We can all get behind that though, right.
Speaker 4: Ry, we absolutely can. It's fine with me. Uh it's
Speaker 4: a frog man Friday. Oh wait wait, wait, wait wait
Speaker 4: wait what it's a flex alert. It's two o'clock. A
Speaker 4: lot of people with a lot of superstition. I heard
Speaker 4: a guy called scamp. I mean.
Speaker 2: Two o'clock. It's to a heart's too hard the people
Speaker 2: it's it's not tune, it's noon.
Speaker 4: It's Ronnie. Let's Ronnie. Let's see what he has loaded.
Speaker 3: Up hopeful music at noon.
Speaker 4: I heard it this morning and he was like, I
Speaker 4: don't really have anything to say, but I've called the
Speaker 4: other days and the Dodgers have one s calling today.
Speaker 4: So a lot of people try to get a lot
Speaker 4: of things done as far as their superstitions go, trying
Speaker 4: to keep the same routine, try to stay above water,
Speaker 4: ahead of the sharks, and by sharks. I meet Canadians
Speaker 4: and the Toronto Blue Jays who have it out for
Speaker 4: your Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they're in the World Series, right.
Speaker 4: They want to beat them. They don't want to just
Speaker 4: be there and lose. They want to beat the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: They want to win. They believe that they will win.
Speaker 4: They do I don't know why. I can't tell you
Speaker 4: what their innermost thoughts are, but I can tell you
Speaker 4: that they're hopeful too, so we can counteract their hopefulness
Speaker 4: with our own hopeful music at noon.
Speaker 2: At two seven.
Speaker 3: Correct for shame.
Speaker 4: Just because we've had a few very cavalier shows that
Speaker 4: started at noon the other day doesn't mean we sniffed
Speaker 4: that out very often well.
Speaker 2: And also frogman stuff. You know, we do have that
Speaker 2: flex alert sounder.
Speaker 4: It is a Frogman Friday, Frogman, frog Man Frogmen. Is
Speaker 4: that flyball or is it a seagull prog man coming
Speaker 4: in up the lake progman just to catch again? Progman
Speaker 4: On a frog Man Friday. We celebrate lakes, rivers and
Speaker 4: the sea mostly to the man. The Pacific Ocean keeps
Speaker 4: us in awe and in fear or it is large
Speaker 4: and dangerous, and there are people that protect this product,
Speaker 4: like the close Guard and the lifeguards, and the Navy,
Speaker 4: and the police, the harbor Patrol, and of course the
Speaker 4: greatest protector of all time from the show Sea Hunt
Speaker 4: character played by Lloyd Bridges. We're talking about Mike Nels.
Speaker 7: The covenor San Diego. We were giving the midgets of
Speaker 7: a real workout. Bill was developing it to sell of
Speaker 7: the Navy. He'd done a good job with its silent
Speaker 7: electric motor. It could carry two men equipped with diving
Speaker 7: lungs about fifteen miles at a fair speed. It still
Speaker 7: had some flaws. The doors designed for quick escape and
Speaker 7: emergencies were sometimes opened by changes and pressure, and the
Speaker 7: controls weren't perfect yet. I enjoyed helping Bill, especially as
Speaker 7: I could see the value of the small craft for
Speaker 7: surprise attacks and secret missions. Not that I intended to
Speaker 7: go on any I figured those days were in the.
Speaker 4: Past for me.
Speaker 7: I thought that we were testing the subsecretly, but I
Speaker 7: was mistaken.
Speaker 4: Todd Light's thirteen to five. What are you nuts? We
Speaker 4: still got to take that Florida man. You know what
Speaker 4: that's like these days.
Speaker 8: You got the Navy everywhere, You got frogmen, you got
Speaker 8: the EC twos with the satellite tracking, you got the
Speaker 8: bell two nine AsSalt choppers up the ass.
Speaker 4: We're losing one out of every nine loads.
Speaker 3: That's no dunck walk anymore. Let me tell you, forget
Speaker 3: about money.
Speaker 4: What do you suggest that's reasonable? That was the great dodger,
Speaker 4: pa Man Todd Light, So be on the Mic at
Speaker 4: the World Series on Monday for Game three. We'll be
Speaker 4: there and the greatest organist that was ever known to
Speaker 4: any sports arena ever playing Sea Lab on a Frogman Friday.
Speaker 4: It's dita room.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you.
Speaker 4: Know you asked, uh, you asked Tim Kats Matt, where
Speaker 4: is he gonna watch the game?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Like, well, I have a man.
Speaker 4: He's like, I have a choice. You know, it's either
Speaker 4: my young Asian friend or my family.
Speaker 2: Colin. Ye, well do you want a lot of people.
Speaker 4: Have to fly all the way to Thailand have their
Speaker 4: young Asian friend keep them coming instead of their family?
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: You know, if you don't want anybody to find out
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying it sounds like, you know, my young
Speaker 4: Newbile friend.
Speaker 2: It does, however, seem like, hey, where's so he's in Thailand? Yeah,
Speaker 2: and you're not with him. No, he likes to himself.
Speaker 4: He's in Vietnam. He goes once a year, is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Well what else does he like to do? Well, you
Speaker 4: know he's out there, he looks at the mines, he
Speaker 4: checks out the old minefield.
Speaker 2: Okay, seems a little dangerous, That's what he says. That's
Speaker 2: why I can't go. Yeah, that's very dangerous.
Speaker 4: Not for me. It's too hot in the Mosquitos. Uh now, man,
Speaker 4: I do have I guess this is a self report
Speaker 4: because I want to apologize, uh, not to you, of course,
Speaker 4: but to Ronnie Fossler's I want to apologize to Ronnie Fossio.
Speaker 4: We've made fun of, well, we've made fun of Ronnie
Speaker 4: for a long time, about upsetting Ronnie. About uh, Ronnie
Speaker 4: upsetting Don mcclan who was in yesterday for four hours
Speaker 4: while you called the Chargers victory over the Indianapolis or
Speaker 4: excuse me, the Vikings. Yeah, they'd be They beat the Vikings.
Speaker 4: The Colts beat them a few days back, and then
Speaker 4: the Chargers got right back at it and then decidedly
Speaker 4: beat the Vikings, which would mean, of course the Vikings
Speaker 4: would beat the Colts. Works that way, but anyway, but
Speaker 4: it does though. That's the thing. I just hate to
Speaker 4: say this because Don McClain our bff, a basketball icon
Speaker 4: at home and abroad. Uh. I mean it's not just
Speaker 4: Ronnie that he side steps and trips up, you know,
Speaker 4: into the hole embankment covered with ice plant. You go
Speaker 4: tumbling into it because the questioning, you know, the questioning
Speaker 4: of you while you're trying to do the show and
Speaker 4: keep it together. And and he did it to Ronnie.
Speaker 4: And we always, you know, we've had we've poked fun
Speaker 4: at him.
Speaker 9: Do we have that sound righting shotgun for the next
Speaker 9: couple of days?
Speaker 6: Wait, Ronnie, how is the state allowed to have two
Speaker 6: official songs?
Speaker 9: I don't know, Don, That's that's what I read. What's
Speaker 9: the other one? I don't know and didn't care. It's
Speaker 9: immaterial for this particular segment of the show.
Speaker 6: Sorry, Ronnie, I was just curious.
Speaker 4: Now, I gotta be honest, like, you know, it's not
Speaker 4: funny when it happens to you. You know, Don's out
Speaker 4: there asking everybody questions like the red baron and just
Speaker 4: stamping it, you know, up just stamping the thing on
Speaker 4: the side.
Speaker 2: Man, you know what, the people are curious, Don.
Speaker 4: The curious little monkey. Uh, you know you do the
Speaker 4: fun fact, Matt, But I do it if you're out
Speaker 4: because it's sponsored by Concordia University, Irvine Masterson Coaching Podcast
Speaker 4: number ninety thousand Coaching. Yeah, and I had a fun
Speaker 4: fact about the very first pro hoops game, the very
Speaker 4: first professional basketball game ever played. Was in the mid forties,
Speaker 4: and it was in Toronto versus the Knicks. And I'm
Speaker 4: not writing a book about it, but I'm telling you
Speaker 4: the fun fact. And this guy, Aussi Stutsman or whatever
Speaker 4: hit the first basket in pro basketball history. And Don's like, well,
Speaker 4: what league was that? I know, it's not the NBA.
Speaker 4: What league is it? So you know you have to
Speaker 4: stop and look at it. Well, Kate's humor's down and
Speaker 4: does like you know, it does like a Kate's dance
Speaker 4: and kills time. You got to stop and look it up,
Speaker 4: you know. And it happened all four hours probing, ask questions,
Speaker 4: and Ronnie wore the sting of that one, you know,
Speaker 4: the about the Colorado State song. That's what he read,
Speaker 4: and how they're allowed to have two lest we forget,
Speaker 4: play that one again. I mean, that's very strong. That's
Speaker 4: a great example of what Don.
Speaker 9: Does writing Shotgun for the next couple of days.
Speaker 6: Wait, Ronnie, how is the state allowed to have two
Speaker 6: official songs?
Speaker 9: I don't know, Don, That's that's what I read. What's
Speaker 9: the other one? I don't know and didn't care. It's
Speaker 9: immaterial for this particular segment of the show.
Speaker 6: Sorry, Ronnie, I was just curious.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ronnie didn't look up the other one down and
Speaker 4: he didn't have time to look it up in that moment,
Speaker 4: And we always looked like wankers and clowns. Here's me yesterday,
Speaker 4: trying to do the fun. Fact was played in Toronto,
Speaker 4: of all places, between the Toronto Huskies and of course
Speaker 4: the New York Knickerbockers at Maple Leaf Gardens in nineteen
Speaker 4: forty six on November one.
Speaker 6: What was the league at that point?
Speaker 4: Do you know? It wasn't the NBA, They were different leagues. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it was the Uh it was the Yeah?
Speaker 6: Why I asked too many questions on the show. You know,
Speaker 6: it's a very good question, Don, there's the Kates dance.
Speaker 6: Great question, Don. I like the way you ask all
Speaker 6: these questions.
Speaker 4: It was the.
Speaker 5: BAA I like your sponsor, Petros.
Speaker 4: Damn it?
Speaker 6: Why I asked too many questions on this.
Speaker 4: Curious down the curious monkey tired of it? Some of
Speaker 4: them the mid range curiosity.
Speaker 2: You know, Don, that's what I read.
Speaker 9: I don't know, Don, that's that's what I read. What's
Speaker 9: the other one? I don't know and didn't care. It's
Speaker 9: immaterial for this particular segment.
Speaker 2: Of the show, I don't know and didn't care.
Speaker 4: Plus the fact that he stole my Dodgers In five prediction,
Speaker 4: which was my college whip around propped at back.
Speaker 2: Well that's everybody's prediction.
Speaker 4: No no, Fred said Dodgers in six. Okay, Well Fred's
Speaker 4: an idiot, so he does not allow to pick.
Speaker 5: Let's not forget when I did an impression for it.
Speaker 4: Well, that's this is my favorite. I've been asking this
Speaker 4: for this for weeks.
Speaker 5: It was during a den of Live Guy while you
Speaker 5: were gone in Brazil. Matt and I wrote one and
Speaker 5: it was for an English person I believe. I don't
Speaker 5: remember who it was for, but here's a little bit
Speaker 5: of that.
Speaker 6: Dade seventeen won a talent show on an Australian TV
Speaker 6: show called Sing Actually Mate. It was called Sing Sing Sing. Yeah. Wow,

Speaker 4: Just the Tim, Tim, Please, I need that to be
Speaker 4: the plea please.
Speaker 9: Tim, please, Matt, your turn's coming, right.
Speaker 2: I think the difference with me, Ronnie is I just
Speaker 2: answer it without having a clue and well yeah Mary,
Speaker 2: and then we just move on.
Speaker 4: I would have said that Matt just makes something up
Speaker 4: and that just ignores with somebody athletes.
Speaker 2: I mean, if he asked me, what is that CBA
Speaker 2: Canadian Basketball Association. Of course, so anyway in nineteen forty one,
Speaker 2: that's not true that I don't care.
Speaker 4: Tim, Please, So it is time for Dodger fan Fair.

Speaker 9: I read. What's the other one? I don't know and
Speaker 9: didn't care. It's immaterial for this particular segment.
Speaker 6: Of the show.

Speaker 4: It's not the first one, but it's the first one
Speaker 4: where somebody pushed back. You know, for years we've just
Speaker 4: tried to accommodate these questions. Oh you know, but you're
Speaker 4: not a seven year old, don You don't get to
Speaker 4: just ask questions all day long. But anyway, it's time.
Speaker 4: Too many questions, Yeah, I say time, it's time to
Speaker 4: jerk the wheel and get ready for great sports talk.
Speaker 4: Supporting our partners, the LA Dodgers in the World Series
Speaker 4: Championship and in their World Series Championship endeavors an epic
Speaker 4: time in history to be a Doyer type and that's
Speaker 4: certainly us as we are your do your station. But
Speaker 4: standing in the way is the great White North, the
Speaker 4: Holsers of Canada, which I learned yesterday has one million
Speaker 4: more people than we do in California.
Speaker 2: It's a whole cut.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't know, so being the Petrosen White, I'm
Speaker 4: too stupid. Thank god somebody asked me the question.

Speaker 4: The Chargers won. Matt's in a good mood, great mood.
Speaker 4: Ronnie's exonerated by attacking our six foot ten guest host
Speaker 4: years ago.
Speaker 2: Don't know and didn't care.
Speaker 4: So we'll be back with more petros and money on
Speaker 4: AMPI seventy LA Sports, your home of the defending World
Speaker 4: Series champion Dodgers.
Speaker 1: We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
Speaker 1: you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or your
Speaker 1: favorite AM five seventy LA Sports a preset on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3: App using Apple CarPlay or Android Autumn road Trip all
Speaker 3: summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 4: Hoddle everybody, what's cracking and welcome back. It's Petro saying money.
Speaker 4: Live on AM five seventy LA Sports. You're home of
Speaker 4: the Dodgers and we've got World Series action tonight. People
Speaker 4: have been patient, they have waited, and the action is
Speaker 4: now on your doorstep, right here on AM five seventy
Speaker 4: LA Sports, your home of the La Dodgers taking on
Speaker 4: the Toronto Blue Jays tonight. Blake Snell is on the
Speaker 4: mound and right now the voice of the Bolts back
Speaker 4: from calling the game yesterday on KFI Matt Smith with
Speaker 4: the Top story of the day, Top Story of the day.
Speaker 2: Well, it's not easy, you know, that's the bottom line.
Speaker 2: This was not easy. Yes, the Dodgers are in the
Speaker 2: World Series. They made it there by sweeping the Brewers, I,
Speaker 2: knocking off the Phillies in just four games, and making
Speaker 2: easy work of the Reds. They won nine of ten.
Speaker 2: It looks like domination. It looks like they're making the
Speaker 2: playoffs a procession. But that's really just recency bias.
Speaker 4: It is per Sassonal playoffs.
Speaker 2: That's what it's been thus far, right, ten games, nine wins.
Speaker 4: So if you felt like the Dodgers were dominant and
Speaker 4: you've just been watching the playoffs this year, you'd be right.
Speaker 2: However, it clouds the picture of what this season was.
Speaker 2: It was quite simply the most trying regular season of
Speaker 2: this thirteen year run that the Dodgers have dominated, winning
Speaker 2: the division every single year save one when they booked
Speaker 2: one hundred and six wins but came in second place
Speaker 2: to the Giants, and they're one hundred and seven wins
Speaker 2: the only time they didn't win the divisional crown. This
Speaker 2: has been the toughest go even though prior to the season,
Speaker 2: like so many seasons before, it was projected that this
Speaker 2: could be a one hundred and twenty win ball club.
Speaker 2: They get out to an eight and zero start, we
Speaker 2: think maybe it's a one sixty two and zero year.
Speaker 2: But it was Freddy dealing with an ankle. It was
Speaker 2: Mookie Bets playing shortstop is selfish. Maybe he's chasing an
Speaker 2: individual award, an MVP award, and he can't get it
Speaker 2: in right field. He's got to get it at shortstop.
Speaker 2: Then it's Mookie and enduring a sickness that took him
Speaker 2: months to get over, lost fifteen pounds, and then three
Speaker 2: months of whatever. His slump was saved by David Vasse
Speaker 2: he was. I mean, the conversation around Mooky in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five was, oh wow, it wasn't oh the Dodgers
Speaker 2: can afford all this stuff. It's Dodgers really stepped in it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got fifteen more years of this on a contract.
Speaker 2: You're dealing with this. Oh man, not even the Dodger's
Speaker 2: going to be able to handle this kind of hit.
Speaker 2: That's what it was until Mookie said he had to
Speaker 2: ignore the Mookie Bets season and just being Mookie Bets
Speaker 2: every single day moving forward and in doing so.
Speaker 4: Yeah, on Mookie bet season, he was all kinds of
Speaker 4: different things. Yeah, he was Marlon Wayne's one day, he
Speaker 4: was Tommy Mottola one day, he was all kinds of
Speaker 4: different people.
Speaker 2: Now, speaking of now, it wasn't glass now, it was
Speaker 2: glass not now all season long.
Speaker 4: That's right, Matt. You went in with a pair of
Speaker 4: tweezers and you took thenot out of glass glass.
Speaker 2: It was the mound is too wet in Philadelphia, not
Speaker 2: being able to finish starts or even get into the
Speaker 2: fourth or fifth inning.
Speaker 4: I had the worst cramps all week.
Speaker 2: We played the Chazz cramp sound bite repeatedly for what
Speaker 2: was plaguing Glass. Now this year it was Blake Snell
Speaker 2: showing up. Listen in to David Vass say, strutting like
Speaker 2: a rooster.
Speaker 4: Let me walk in like a rooster.
Speaker 2: About Blake Snell and how snell Zilla is exactly what
Speaker 2: the Dodgers needed, and almost exactly in the moment when
Speaker 2: he said it, the dude was gone, just see you later.
Speaker 2: No snell Zilla for like three months. And then after
Speaker 2: winning the that woman with the eyes that are spaced
Speaker 2: so far apart on her head in Chicago, with the
Speaker 2: nose piercing brook I believe is her name.
Speaker 4: You use a different name every time, but I think
Speaker 4: it's pretty though, Gina. Last time, but that lady, the
Speaker 4: Cubs fan lady, she cried, she's marry saltry Matt very.
Speaker 2: Well, that's why the people like they like. They like
Speaker 2: her sports takes, not because they're great sports takes, but
Speaker 2: because they're sultry sports takes. She was almost in tears
Speaker 2: when the Dodgers signed Roki Sasaki, screaming it's not fair.
Speaker 2: Why do they get to half everything? Why can't the
Speaker 2: Cubs have Roki Sasaki? Why can't the Padres or the
Speaker 2: Yankees or the Mets have Roki Sasaki? Why must it
Speaker 2: be the Dodgers only to have Roki Sasaki barely pitch.
Speaker 4: I think it's a guy. It's Bri Bri Bridle.
Speaker 2: Sultry Bri.
Speaker 4: I'm kind of.
Speaker 2: So that's what it was when he signed. And then
Speaker 2: it became, oh no, he's having an emotional moment on
Speaker 2: the bench, and we think, probably this guy just needs
Speaker 2: a year. Let's shut him down for the year. It's
Speaker 2: too much for him. This is a lot. And we
Speaker 2: heard all about coming over from Japan and how even
Speaker 2: though Yamamota was only twenty five, he's still because of
Speaker 2: the multiple years in professional baseball and the two Japanese.
Speaker 2: Sai Young is a little bit of a different situation
Speaker 2: than Roki, and let's just, you know, support the young man,
Speaker 2: and let's chalk up twenty twenty five to uh a
Speaker 2: developmental year and he'll be ready to go in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six max months. He's leg got Joe Feisman on
Speaker 2: an errant throw to third base to the point that
Speaker 2: we didn't think he was gonna play again this season.
Speaker 4: It did fly to that.
Speaker 2: Prior to that, p couldn't see.
Speaker 4: He was blind as a bat up thing.
Speaker 2: I'm blind. It's like wow, like.
Speaker 4: John Claude Van Dam when the win Oh Seung Lee,
Speaker 4: you put the powder in his eyes.
Speaker 2: I mean that was like two months. You had like
Speaker 2: a month of max months he can't hit, and then
Speaker 2: he shows up with some glasses, like six weeks into
Speaker 2: the season, starts raking, and then his leg gets broken
Speaker 2: in half and he's getting Byron left witched off the field,
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, he's back to asker.
Speaker 2: Hernandez hit one nine in June, two thirty in July,
Speaker 2: and two eleven in August, averaged just three home runs
Speaker 2: per month that whole time. And on top of all
Speaker 2: of that, well, let's do this one first. We got
Speaker 2: all these bullet points. This team had the worst bullpen
Speaker 2: era in baseball. Tanner, Scott Bust, Kirby Yates, Bust, Blake
Speaker 2: Trinen washed up. They needed to be rescued by dudes
Speaker 2: like EMMITTS. Sheehan who was coming off in elbow surgery,
Speaker 2: Tony Gonsolin, the Catman coming off some other surgery landing
Speaker 2: knack lost a bunch of weight. Put it back on.
Speaker 2: It was losing well before this as a team. As
Speaker 2: a team, the Dodgers from July third until September sixth,
Speaker 2: this is not like a two week slump. July third
Speaker 2: until September sixth posted a twenty two and thirty two
Speaker 2: record ten games under five hundred over two plus months,
Speaker 2: certainly the worst of any playoff bound team. They were
Speaker 2: talked about as essentially being done a favor by the
Speaker 2: Mets complete collapse, otherwise they might miss the playoffs altogether.
Speaker 2: They end up losing first place in the division, the
Speaker 2: latest we've seen save that one year with the Giants
Speaker 2: when they were still on pace to have the best
Speaker 2: record in baseball in over a decade, when the Padres
Speaker 2: decided to bring the heat late in the season, only
Speaker 2: for what to happen for the team to finish in
Speaker 2: third and then be questioned as to they don't get
Speaker 2: to buy now. You got to bring in extra games,
Speaker 2: and you got to use your arms for the wild card,
Speaker 2: And even if you beat the.
Speaker 4: Reds, no one thought they could beat Philly.
Speaker 2: Right, Oh, I'd rather I would have I think I
Speaker 2: think the Padres might have tanked it.
Speaker 4: All these said here on the show.
Speaker 2: Yes, all of these things. Tim Kates me, I don't
Speaker 2: know what's going on. Tim Kates, and I looking at it,
Speaker 2: Shurether going, you know what, I think that's a good plan.
Speaker 2: I think I'd much rather go to Chicago face Cubs
Speaker 2: and then go to Milwaukee. I don't want to deal
Speaker 2: with the Phillies. All of those things happened this year.
Speaker 2: It was the exact opposite of what it has been.
Speaker 2: This entire stretch of domination, if it's a word of
Speaker 2: dynastical domination by the Dodgers in the regular season, has
Speaker 2: been exactly that. The playoffs is where our hearts were
Speaker 2: in our throats. The playoffs is where our butttholes were
Speaker 2: puckered so tight we didn't think we'd use the restroom
Speaker 2: for a week. But it was the exact opposite. For
Speaker 2: whatever reason, this year, a twenty two to thirty one
Speaker 2: stretch over two plus months, one of the worst records
Speaker 2: in baseball is what this team dealt with this regular season.
Speaker 2: Not to mention that litany of issues that they faced
Speaker 2: from spring training and Freddy's ankle not being ready all
Speaker 2: the way through the end of September, when Kirby Yeates
Speaker 2: and his thirteen million dollars was a bust In Tanner
Speaker 2: Scott did not look like he was going to be
Speaker 2: able to contribute one bit in the postseason. To do
Speaker 2: what to make easy work of the Reds, to make
Speaker 2: relatively even though they were stressful victories. Easy work of
Speaker 2: the Phillies went in both in Philadelphia and in four
Speaker 2: games overall. I guess I shouldn't say easy work. Those
Speaker 2: Philly games were tight. They were pretty gnarly. They get
Speaker 2: your heart pounding a little bit, might need a drink
Speaker 2: or three. And then to make easy work of the Brewers.
Speaker 2: And here we are on the World Series because of
Speaker 2: their nine to one record, and everybody forgets about all
Speaker 2: the challenges that this team faced and how unlikely this
Speaker 2: run looked for a good portion of the season, and
Speaker 2: it was supplanted with four hundred and thirty million dollars
Speaker 2: this and you're so lucky you have Otani. It's the
Speaker 2: only reason you're here. That and it's not fair to
Speaker 2: have this starting pitching rotation in the playoffs because nobody
Speaker 2: can possibly compete with it, and no other team could
Speaker 2: possibly Afford, Tyler Glass Now, Blake Snow, Shohail Tani and
Speaker 2: Moreshinoba Yamamoto.
Speaker 4: We've had it all. And it's funny because the year started,
Speaker 4: I mean, the year didn't start. I mean the offseason
Speaker 4: started with the Dodgers are going to win one hundred
Speaker 4: plus games. No one can compete with them. This sucks.
Speaker 4: And then they won like the first eight games, and
Speaker 4: it looked exactly like that, and then, like you said,
Speaker 4: somewhere around July, things fell apart and they weren't they
Speaker 4: weren't good. They were just treading water, and all those
Speaker 4: narratives started. And then they got hot again and have
Speaker 4: been high stepping like Dion through the playoffs, and all
Speaker 4: of those prophecies of doom seemed to be wrong, and
Speaker 4: all of the prophecies before the games started seemed to
Speaker 4: be much more on point. But we've had to live
Speaker 4: through it every day here in Great Sports Talk, Matt.
Speaker 2: It's a great thing about being the home of the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: It's a great thing about having from the field to
Speaker 2: the worksite Strauss powering our World Series coverage on a
Speaker 2: five seventy LA Sports It's a team that overcame all
Speaker 2: of that they didn't overcome it because they got a
Speaker 2: four hundred and thirty million dollar payroll. They overcame it
Speaker 2: because of testicular fortitude. They overcame it because of supreme
Speaker 2: focus and proper preparation preventing poor performance, having the right superstars,
Speaker 2: as Andrew Friedman told us, having the right guys to
Speaker 2: write the ship.
Speaker 4: These guys are.
Speaker 2: What are your surper stars doing?
Speaker 4: We are on our he's working to washing balls.
Speaker 2: Tim right, we are understand this. And I would assume
Speaker 2: because of his date of his daytime job as he's
Speaker 2: moonlighting with Fox in the World series, Joe Davis will
Speaker 2: not allow a lot of what the not that Brian
Speaker 2: Anderson was, you know, necessarily guilty of all of it,
Speaker 2: but certainly he furthered the predominant narrative of the big
Speaker 2: spending billions of dollars in local television contracts when other
Speaker 2: local sports outlets are collapsing in any other one of.
Speaker 4: These high priced Dodgers talent, thanks BA right.
Speaker 2: Instead, it's a team and look another team with that
Speaker 2: just as big of a payroll couldn't handle it. The
Speaker 2: Mets could not handle the overwhelming amount of adversity and
Speaker 2: injuries and slumps that hit them in August after having
Speaker 2: a twenty one game lead.
Speaker 4: Well, no champion Jim pedigree there.
Speaker 2: Matt none, not a g damn ounce. So, even if
Speaker 2: the Dodgers do make quick work of the Blue Jays,
Speaker 2: or if this becomes one of the all time great
Speaker 2: fall classics that we've ever witnessed, understand while some will
Speaker 2: paint it to be a walk along a rose petaled
Speaker 2: laid velvet carpet to get here, now that road was rocky.
Speaker 2: There was broken glass and rode gravel that'll find its
Speaker 2: way between your toes and cause you great pain?
Speaker 4: Are you saying? Much like Bougiu Bontan, the great Jamaican artist, says,
Speaker 4: it's not an easy road. Many see the glamour and
Speaker 4: the glitter, so they think it's a bed of roses.
Speaker 4: But he who feels it knows.
Speaker 2: You've done it again. I was just about to do.
Speaker 4: That, damn it.
Speaker 2: Perfectly put p Tim from the convicted felon himself.
Speaker 4: He was entrapped.
Speaker 2: That was entrapman if I've ever seen it.
Speaker 4: Blusha went down on a federal case, just like Chauncey.
Speaker 2: So if you're surrounded by naysayers, by ne'er Dowells who
Speaker 2: want to bark about the check that was cut. You
Speaker 2: re mind them Rocky Road.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they picked up Max Munsey off a scrap heap.
Speaker 2: It's right, this was not an easy path. They earned it.
Speaker 2: They earned this perth.
Speaker 4: Remember with a torpedo bat was the big top.
Speaker 2: Yes, that was a big thing. For what never happened
Speaker 2: to that, I don't know, but I'm glad we didn't
Speaker 2: put our friend John Minter from Glomar on for that one.
Speaker 2: Instead we saved them for the idiots. Then we're talking
Speaker 2: about what Mookie.
Speaker 4: Had probably could have done both. Yeah, he'll be right
Speaker 4: back with some reaction.
Speaker 2: It looks like the road to heaven, but it feels
Speaker 2: like the road to hell.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right about that, Matt.
Speaker 1: All right, Hello PMS listener. Did you know Am five
Speaker 1: seventy LA Sports has a wide range of LA sports podcasts.
Speaker 3: There's Rogan and Rodney, that one is my favorite, Dodger Talk.
Speaker 1: With David Vasse, the Dodger Podcast of Record, Clipper Talk
Speaker 1: Without a Musk, follow us all and many more. Just
Speaker 1: go to AM five seventy LA Sports on the iHeartRadio ap.
Speaker 2: Now, we got the World Series coming up at five
Speaker 2: o eight pm from the field to the worksite. Strauss
Speaker 2: powers our World Series coverage on AM five seventy LA Sports,
Speaker 2: Strauss Workwear, S t R A U S S. Proud
Speaker 2: to be partnered with them. First pitch five oh eight pm,
Speaker 2: so about a little over an hour from now. Tim
Speaker 2: kates with Dodgers on deck and in the fall class.
Speaker 2: It gets underway to night Game two tomorrow and then Monday, Tuesday,
Speaker 2: Wednesday games three to four and if necessary five from
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 4: That's right. A lot of people are very excited about
Speaker 4: the game. Some feel nonchalance is the order of the day.
Speaker 2: Nonchalant.
Speaker 4: I have a few texts to discuss the whole thing
Speaker 4: on a secret text social line, brought to you by
Speaker 4: your Toyota texts.
Speaker 9: Fine, brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 9: We make it easy.
Speaker 4: I fear your radio husband is slightly venturing into nonchalance,
Speaker 4: already making excuses for a World Series win. I'm with you,
Speaker 4: I'm always expecting the worst. I'm not expecting the worst.
Speaker 4: I do expect Joe Davis to come on air and
Speaker 4: say something like welcome to the six you know, or
Speaker 4: some like weird thing that Toronto's called that nobody knows,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 7: The.
Speaker 4: Sixth district. I learned that from Degrassi, but I've never
Speaker 4: been to tron know, other than the airport. Biggest revelation
Speaker 4: in sports last night. The Vikings are complete boneheads for
Speaker 4: not signing Sam Darnold after he led him to a
Speaker 4: fourteen win. You know, I mean I thought Wentz looked
Speaker 4: great though, Like, why why worry about it? When you
Speaker 4: got Carson Wentz?
Speaker 2: He had some problems out there? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Sure, what do you mean?
Speaker 2: Although JJ McCarthy looked awfully sprite jumping over him when
Speaker 2: he was tackled out of bounds, do you here out
Speaker 2: to the field.
Speaker 4: You know, JJ McCarthy is ducking playing time. I'm just
Speaker 4: saying he looked really sprouted. Yeah, I saw it on
Speaker 4: Twitter too, I seemed it. When you guys get questioned
Speaker 4: like that by Dawn, it's also known as getting mcclaimed. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I got claimed like we all got mcclaimed hard.
Speaker 6: What was the league at that point? Do we know
Speaker 6: it wasn't the NBA? They were different leagues? Yeah, it
Speaker 6: was the.
Speaker 4: Damn it? Why do you I.
Speaker 6: Asked too many questions on the show. You know, it's
Speaker 6: a very good question, Don.
Speaker 4: The funniest part is that Don couldn't tell Ronnie was
Speaker 4: already annoyed, and then he asked a follow up question.
Speaker 9: I don't know, Don, that's that's what I read. What's
Speaker 9: the other one? I don't know and didn't care. It's
Speaker 9: immaterial for this particular segment of the show.
Speaker 4: Oh, Tim please is almost as amazing as the caller
Speaker 4: said to Rodney about the little glove and the ball.
Speaker 4: But I don't know, Tim please. So I am looking
Speaker 4: forward to being mccleaned again on Matt's next road trip.
Speaker 4: You know who wanted to do a launch pad today
Speaker 4: and I never got back to herbell but she offered
Speaker 4: herself up as tribute. But you know, I mean she
Speaker 4: called Rogan and Rodney like and went on that show
Speaker 4: a bunch. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think she's back hitting you the second we sign off. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I did it for a while.
Speaker 4: I went to a game in Toronto. It is by
Speaker 4: far the cleanest stadium in North America. No garbage on
Speaker 4: the floor, Everybody picks up after themselves, and you're not
Speaker 4: allowed to walk down the aisle during at bat. And
Speaker 4: you've got to wait till the at bat is over.
Speaker 4: So it's like, go to your seat. It's a place
Speaker 4: full of polite people.
Speaker 2: There's a hand like the Kings do that. If you
Speaker 2: go watch a King's game, they will not let you
Speaker 2: go down the aisle to your seat until I heard
Speaker 2: of stoppage.
Speaker 4: And the Sussio side of the pavilion, they have a butler,
Speaker 4: Like every floor at Oxford has a butler.
Speaker 2: They have like a butler and a drum.
Speaker 4: Yeah. And on the Gordono's side, you know what, they
Speaker 4: have appetizers, muscle meet.
Speaker 6: On tim please please.
Speaker 4: All right, we'll be right back. We'll have another hour
Speaker 4: and then we're gonna get the anticipation is thick. Then
Speaker 4: we're gonna have the World Series, the World Series. After
Speaker 4: everybody predicted the Dodgers would be in the World Series.
Speaker 4: Here they are the World Series. In Canada, pregame show
Speaker 4: starts at fourth
