He 57 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: was someone that we got along with. To his credit, 58 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: the day your first child, Fletcher was born and Dana 59 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: went into labor you're out emergency, he showed up at 60 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 2: a studio in Lawrence, Kansas. 61 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 3: That's right, he drove. 62 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 2: He drove from Kansas City to Lawrence because that was 63 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 2: the only place we could find an iHeart studio that 64 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: was available. And he did the show and we appreciate. 65 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: We really did. But things did go south between us 66 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 3: and Bill Ryder. 67 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: And much like a lot of people that are listening 68 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 2: right now pee to think they can do what we do. 69 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: I read that Bill because I do still follow him 70 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: on on Twitter. I guess I just did not unfollow him. 71 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: I keep it going. He tweeted that he's bidding farewell 72 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: to his beloved radio show. 73 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 3: I heard that. 74 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: Yes, that is this relationship this beautiful creation that he 75 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: has had a show that we listened to. We were fans, 76 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 2: separate but together. We would text each other, separate but equal. Yes, 77 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: through the course of the show, we would text each other. 78 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 3: We would find an HD radio station in between, like ninety. 79 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 2: One point three to get Kovacs and the cast of character.

You think you're ready for the 84 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: big time, like the Petros and Money show in primetime 85 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 2: afternoon drive that the most desired of all the radio 86 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: slots in talk radio.

I'll 99 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: turn that down, Bill Clinton, you perv uh? The Chargers 100 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: p yes are five and zero in prime time when 101 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: the lights are brightest. 102 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 3: Wow, that was masterful. I mean Matt right, I mean 103 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 3: the Charles Dickens and and there's you. Who's the best 104 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 3: of time. I can't believe you just turned Some people 105 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 3: aren't ready for prime time, but I'll tell you who is. 106 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 3: How about the Charger Wow? 107 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 2: Brazil Monday Night Football twice, Thursday Night Football, Sunday Night 108 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 2: Football five and zero in standalone games with the eyes 109 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: of Football Americano upon them, and they have delivered a 110 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 2: nail bider in sal Paolo Herbert with the bolts buttholes 111 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 2: all puckered, staring at a third and long and potentially 112 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 2: punting the back, punting the ball back to the Kansas 113 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: City offense with time to score a game winning touchdown 114 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 2: because the Chargers were only up six. But he saw 115 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 2: Chris Jones dive inside, scrambled up that right sideline twenty 116 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: two yards and slid for the win. The following week 117 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 2: on Monday Night football, Jesse Minners defense eight different players 118 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 2: with at least one pass defense and fifteen total, the 119 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 2: most and a half decade, along with three interceptions from Gino. 120 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 2: Thursday night against Minnesota, they made Carson Wentz cry. They 121 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 2: hit him so hard. They made a football player, the 122 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 2: toughest human beings on the planet cry, squirt them. 123 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 3: Only the Chargers could do. 124 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 2: That, Matt Sunday night. It was even worse for Aaron Rodgers. 125 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 2: He didn't cry, but he was pouting zero and nine 126 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 2: on third down before that Garbage touchdown on the final 127 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: couple minutes when they were down twenty five to three 128 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 2: three two interception, Yeah, Garbage lost a fumble. Of course, 129 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: blamed his teammates and his coaching and all that sort 130 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: of stuff in the postgame presser. And then last night 131 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts came in having thrown two interceptions all season, 132 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 2: and he threw four. 133 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 3: Considering how many times he turned it over, including twice 134 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 3: in one play. 135 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 2: If the Chargers, you know, could block, it's part of 136 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 2: the game. 137 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 3: They would have won. 138 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 2: If you can block these guys up front, it. 139 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 3: Probably would have won the game a little more decisively 140 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 3: and wouldn't have had to go to overtime and be 141 00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 3: on the brink of losing. 142 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 2: This guy is gonna run right here up the middle 143 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 2: because that's a lot of that's a lot of picks. 144 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 2: What would you like me to do? Ignore him? 145 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 3: That's a lot of picks. To then come back out 146 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 3: of the field and get your quarterback continues to be destroyed. 147 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 2: How many times do you want me to ignore him? 148 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 2: All the times? Like every time? Yes, you want him 149 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: running free right down the right down there. I mean 150 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 2: you look at the box score and you say they 151 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: turned it over? How many times? Yeah, he threw four 152 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,559 Speaker 2: picks and he lost a fund, including twice on one play. 153 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 2: It would be a little bit more lopsided. I do 154 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 2: appreciate the stats. And Steve Disager, you know him, well, 155 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 2: My stat man does a bang up job of digging 156 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 2: things up. And he did share with me with wide 157 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 2: eyes and great pride. Huh huh. You know how stat 158 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 2: guys are when they get something they're excited about. Hey, okay, 159 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 2: it's ready ready. 160 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 3: Not since nineteen twenty eight. 161 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 2: Hey, hey, since they carted. Since they started keeping the 162 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 2: stat in nineteen seventy eight, no player has ever turned 163 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 2: the ball over twice on the same play. You know what, 164 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 2: I find that easy to believe. I do find that 165 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: that would be an incredibly rare occurrence that you could 166 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 2: turn the ball over twice in the same play. Yet 167 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: in fact, that is what happened to Jalen Hurts. He 168 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 2: threw an interception, Deshan Han fumbled, Jalen Hurts recovered it 169 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 2: and then for whatever reason, decided to turn up field 170 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 2: and also got the ball punched out and lost a fumble. 171 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 2: Five turnovers for one player that plays on a team 172 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 2: that's had seven turnovers all season coming in to this game. 173 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 2: The point is like the Petrosen Money Show, when the 174 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 2: lights of the brightest, this dam has been exceptional. The 175 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 2: bad news is, unlike the Petrosen Money Show, we are 176 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 2: in afternoon drive every day. Well not true some days. 177 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 3: Don't twist yourself. I would do a pretzel like nine 178 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 3: to noon. Try to twist yourself in a pretzel to 179 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 3: make a point. 180 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 2: When are we gonna be out there? 181 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 3: Not a noon? 182 00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 2: But our show is on from three to seven. I 183 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 2: know I'm gonna put the guys on. Your chargers have 184 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 2: been inconsistent, but consistently inconsistent. Almost they've almost overcome that, 185 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: but they don't have their tackles, and you would imagine 186 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 2: they'd be a much more consistent team. 187 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 3: If they did have their tackles. But it was great 188 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 3: that they won last night. 189 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 2: The bad news p is as good as they've been 190 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 2: in Pron time. They don't have any more print time 191 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 2: games left. Oh no, yes, the final fact of the 192 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 2: season podcast. Now that can change. We saw last year 193 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 2: the Chargers Broncos in Week sixteen was the first ever 194 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: Thursday night flex, So things can change. And they do 195 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 2: have TBD. Two TBD games left Week seventeen against the Texans, 196 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 2: which very well could be a Saturday game Christmas Week, 197 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: two days after Christmas instead of a Sunday afternoon window. 198 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 2: And they will play the Broncos in Week eighteen. Should 199 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: they stumble a little bit Denver, and should the Chargers 200 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: catch a heater, that could end up being Sunday night game, 201 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 2: much like the Chargers Raiders was a few years back 202 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 2: that went horribly wrong for Brandon Staley when it appeared 203 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: as though the Raiders were content to settle for a 204 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 2: tie and both teams punching a ticket to the playoff, 205 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 2: he banged a time out, Josh Jacobs ran for twelve yards, 206 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 2: they kicked the game winning field goal, and everybody was 207 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 2: left scratching their head. So there is still a primetime 208 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 2: opportunity where they can embrace the Petros and Money Show 209 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 2: style of content delivery, which is when the lights are 210 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 2: the brightest, the cars are the most on our freeway system. 211 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 3: It's the radio equivalent of scoring in the red zone. Kids, 212 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 3: that's right, how to perform when the pressure's on. 213 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: Thankfully it was a nationally televised game for Justin Herbert, 214 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 2: because you know those bank on the box score folks, man, 215 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 2: they're just going to look at what they saw and 216 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 2: see twelve to twenty six for one hundred and thirty 217 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 2: nine yards, a touchdown, a pick, and a QB rating 218 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 2: a fifty nine point six, and we all know that 219 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: doesn't tell the tales a heroic performance, a warriors effort, 220 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 2: a man that wanted to be carried out on his 221 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 2: shield left something to be desired in the interview portion, 222 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: as he generally does. I want to celebrate with my teammates, 223 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: all right, you want to go host that NFL Live, 224 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: you go on and host it. I want to celebrate 225 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 2: with my teammates. Justin's kind of part of the deal. 226 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 2: We got to ask you this question. I need you 227 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 2: to answer it. As you alluded to getting his head 228 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 2: knocked off seven sacks the most of his career. He 229 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 2: ran ten times for sixty six yards, tackled on five 230 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 2: of those, a man with a plate in his left 231 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 2: hand and a screw, not just a plate, not just 232 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 2: to screw, a plate and a screw that had to 233 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 2: be bandaged four separate times because of the blood leaking 234 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 2: from the wound. That is how hard he played. There 235 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 2: was a stiff arm of reed, blank and ship on 236 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 2: a run that helped set up a forty six instead 237 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 2: of a fifty six yard field goal to send it 238 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 2: to overtime, and of course the stiff arm heard round 239 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 2: the world at least whoever was still up that late, 240 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 2: because it was already midnight on the Eastern seaboard. But 241 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 2: the point being, it's a man who routinely has played 242 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 2: through pain, and whatever you may think of his performance 243 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 2: in the postseason or where he fits into the upper 244 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 2: echelon or the elite of the quarterbacks twitter quarterback, he 245 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 2: is a man who was played with a high ankle 246 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 2: sprain and was in a walking boot all week in 247 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 2: Charlotte in Pittsburgh, taking shots from TJ. Watt and Alex Heismith. 248 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 2: He's a man that played with fractured ribs with two 249 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 2: separate fingers broken and cast it in the past a 250 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 2: shoulder something or other pigment separation I don't know, and 251 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 2: now with a plate and a screw in his hand. 252 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 2: He is tough. He is a leader, he is a galvanizer, 253 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 2: and like the Petros and Money show in PM Drive, 254 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 2: when the ears are open and the lights are the brightest, 255 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 2: the Chargers have managed to deliver one win and one 256 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 2: compelling performance after another. 257 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 3: When I got up and looked in the mirror this morning, 258 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 3: I saw justin Herbert's face looking back at me. Because 259 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 3: that's how I perform in a heroic way. That's what 260 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 3: we do. And we'll be back with David Vassay Dodgers 261 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 3: making heroic moves. Plan. You know it's not nice.

It's going to be electric in the 302 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 4: ninth inning at Dodgers Stadium this year with Edwin Diaz. 303 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 3: So how long has this been in the works with 304 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 3: Edwin Diaz that I don't think? Is this some guy 305 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 3: that we've mentioned. I don't know. I don't pay much 306 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 3: attention when other people talk. 307 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 4: So actually he had never been connected to the Dodgers 308 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 4: are today today. Yeah, and the Dodgers and Edwin Diaz 309 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 4: Is representatives from Team Wasss did an excellent job of 310 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 4: keeping this under wraps. I was told by a source 311 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 4: with the Dodgers that knows that they had been talking 312 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 4: to Edwin Diaz for quite some time, but he was 313 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 4: seeking out a four year and beyond contract. Andrew Friedman 314 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 4: kept on trying to make the framework three years with 315 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 4: a higher annual salary like they eventually came to agree 316 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 4: three years, sixty nine million dollars, which makes it the 317 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 4: highest annual salary for any closer. So that was attractive 318 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 4: to Edwin Diaz. And also the fact I've been told 319 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 4: by people close to Edwin Diaz he felt disrespected by 320 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 4: the Mets, not a priority by the Mets. And my 321 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 4: understanding is the Mets only in the last twenty four 322 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 4: or forty eight hours gave him a formal offer, and 323 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 4: it came down to the Mets and Dodgers, and Edwin 324 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 4: Diaz had a lot of people in his ears saying Dodgers, 325 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 4: and he eventually chose the Dodgers, and Andrew Friedman got 326 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,719 Speaker 4: arguably the best closer available on the free agent market. 327 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 4: And a guy that has proven that he can close 328 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 4: games under the brightest of lights, and that's something Tanner 329 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 4: Scott could not say a year ago. 330 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 2: Oh, you had to take a shot at Tanner's got 331 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 2: In the case of Tanner Dave, so much of it 332 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 2: felt like it was, you know what he was able 333 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 2: to do against shoe hail Tani in that series and 334 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 2: repeated at bats. In the case of Diaz, you said it, 335 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 2: you know, best closer on the free agent market, But 336 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 2: I mean, you can make a case that he's the 337 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 2: best closer in baseball, right. I mean, I was going 338 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 2: through his numbers and it's like everything's either one or 339 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 2: two for Edwin Diz. 340 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 4: And the great part is we talked about the Dodgers 341 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 4: wanting to get younger on their roster. He's only thirty 342 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 4: one years old. He's right in the prime of his 343 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 4: career and it's a three year contract, it's not a 344 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 4: five year contract. And this will benefit Tanner Scott as well. 345 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 4: The Dodgers will be able to deploy Tanner Scott as 346 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 4: a high leverage reliever before the ninth inning, and that's 347 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 4: where he excelled the best with the padres specifically and 348 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 4: the Marlins to a lesser extent because the lights weren't 349 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 4: that bright. But with the padres, that's what he was 350 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 4: so good at, going up against lefties and certain righties 351 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 4: before the ninth innings. So having a guy like Edwin 352 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 4: Diz just lets everything else fall into place and the 353 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 4: Dodgers can say they have a lockdown closer for the 354 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 4: first time since Henley Jansen was the Dodgers closer. 355 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 3: Are you surprised that they went and paid another reliever 356 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 3: after what happened to them last offseason with the three 357 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 3: years and sixty nine million dollars? 358 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 4: A little surprised, but I guess for the certain relievers 359 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 4: on the market, like Devin Williams and Edwin Diaz, the 360 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 4: Dodgers were willing to go three years for those two 361 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 4: relief pitchers. I don't believe. In fact, I know they 362 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,959 Speaker 4: weren't willing to do that for any other any of 363 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 4: the others like Raciel Iglesias. They were willing to go 364 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 4: short term. Suarez short term if it ever got to 365 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 4: that point. Kenley Jansen one year, But for Diaz and 366 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 4: for and for Devin Williams, I think they were willing 367 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 4: to go beyond one year. In fact, we know that 368 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 4: now with Edwin Diaz, but they were at the finish 369 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 4: line with Devin Williams as well. 370 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 3: Dave. 371 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 2: Obviously, we think about closers and what Roki Sasaki was 372 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 2: able to do in the postseason. Should we suspect that 373 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 2: he's on track to be in the starting rotation come 374 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 2: April of next year? 375 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 4: Without a doubt? Even before this signing, the Dodgers were 376 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 4: committed to having Roki Sasaki come back this upcoming season 377 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 4: and be part of their starting rotation, give him the 378 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 4: opportunity of growth as a starting pitcher, and Brandon gom 379 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 4: said as much yesterday at the winter meetings that they 380 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 4: are fully committed to having Roki Sasaki be part of 381 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 4: their rotation. 382 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 2: Does anything change in terms because you take on sixty 383 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 2: nine million bucks? We know, you know they scratched out 384 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 2: checks including luxury tax penalties for over four hundred million dollars. 385 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 2: When you add an extra twenty three million bucks to 386 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 2: the payroll, does that mean you're trimming? I know you 387 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 2: talked about ta Oscar Hernandez before. What does this do 388 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 2: to impact the rest of the payroll and the other 389 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 2: moves that we kind of have been projecting or suspecting 390 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 2: could happen. 391 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 4: Well, the Dodgers had almost ninety million dollars come off 392 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 4: the books with Michael Conforto, Clayton Kershawan a few others, 393 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 4: So it's not like they're trying to trim. I don't 394 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 4: think you could ever say trim with the Dodgers these 395 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 4: days in the same sentence. They're just trying to improve 396 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,959 Speaker 4: the team, improve guys that are surrounding the big aircraft 397 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 4: carriers and show hey Otani, Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman. 398 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 4: There's no secret the defense was lackluster by Teoscar Hernandez 399 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 4: and right field last year with your eyes, with the metrics, 400 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 4: he was one of the worst right fielders in baseball 401 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 4: last year, and the Dodgers, I would you know? I 402 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 4: was asked who's untouchable. The only untouchables are Mookie, Freddie, 403 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,239 Speaker 4: and Otani and Yamamoto. Those are the only untouchables. So 404 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 4: if there's anybody else that can help the Dodgers get 405 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 4: younger and get better, they're open to listening to those conversations. 406 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 3: What was the reaction from the teammate, Dave, I know 407 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 3: you're in touch with a lot of these players. 408 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, I spoke to a handful of them over the text, 409 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 4: and they are as excited as the fans are that 410 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 4: they got Edwin Diaz, and a lot of them not 411 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 4: think so. 412 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 3: They were. 413 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 4: They were very excited about Edwin Diaz being their new closer. 414 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 4: Best face it, there were a lot of gut wrenching 415 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 4: losses in the ninth inning last year, and that's really 416 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 4: hard for an offense to overcome. The Dodgers. Somehow, some 417 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 4: way did and were able to get into the postseason 418 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 4: and have a favorable path. But if they don't blow 419 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 4: the number of says that they did last year, they're 420 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 4: a number one seed in the postseason and have the 421 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 4: best record in the National League, maybe major League Baseball. 422 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,959 Speaker 2: Most importantly, Dave when it comes to Edwin Diaz, and 423 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 2: this goes before he decided to sign with the Dodgers today, 424 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 2: I felt this way when he was with the Mets. 425 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 2: We have had some great closers come out through some 426 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 2: great closing songs, whether it was Hell's Bells or Welcome 427 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 2: to the Jungle. I have firmly believed that Narco has 428 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 2: been the best I have ever heard. For whatever reason, 429 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 2: that trumpet, there is something about it, as someone who 430 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 2: has seen a lot more of these and been in 431 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 2: a lot of visiting ballparks. Where does that one rank 432 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 2: compared to some of the other greats. 433 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 4: It's top five for me, I mean specifically in La 434 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 4: it will be at the top with like you mentioned, 435 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 4: Welcome to the Jungle for Game Over, Eric Ganie California. 436 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 4: Love for Kenley Jansen. That was iconic because of how 437 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 4: good he was and Edwin Diaz. Now it's going to 438 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 4: be electric at Dodger Stadium with Timmy Trump and I'm 439 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 4: with you. It gave me chills. I would hate to 440 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 4: say this. It was a spectacle at City Field when 441 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 4: he would come into the game in the ninth inning 442 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 4: and look. 443 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 2: They're going to go bananas out there perform. 444 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 4: He's got to continue to perform close the games, and 445 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 4: that's what makes the song the end trends that much 446 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 4: more electric. 447 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 3: I like Beethoven's Best with Rob Men. 448 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 4: I gotta be honest with you. In Philly, Joe on 449 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 4: Duran when he got there that was pretty special as well. 450 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 2: What's he come out to? 451 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 4: I forgot the song, But the lights go out and 452 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 4: the fans have their cell phone lights on and they 453 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 4: get the LEDs going that's pretty cool. 454 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 3: The Puzzo nos serenade. Everybody knows that, Hey, Dave, you're 455 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,959 Speaker 3: not the only guy that sounded like, oh come on, 456 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 3: let's go send him. How about Dave, You're not the 457 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 3: only one that sounded like the devil. 458 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 4: Very good morning, guys, and man, I'm gonna go out 459 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 4: on a. 460 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 3: Limb here and that's you, Dave. But here is maybe 461 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 3: a little less satanistic Bob Chesney, the new UCLA coach, 462 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 3: in the audio that they put out today for his 463 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 3: press conference. 464 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 6: First, I just want to, you know, thank everyone involved 465 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 6: in the in this search committee.
