Speaker 3: first real closer since Kenley Jansen or a Dodgery Well
Speaker 3: what a Tanner. Scott was supposed to be a real closer.
Speaker 3: He was supposed to be a real boy, but he
Speaker 3: wasn't a real boy last year.
Speaker 1: But he was like a real closer when they wouldn't
Speaker 1: have paid him that much if he was, and a
Speaker 1: real closer when they signed it.

Speaker 3: last weekend to see the Sunday Night game? Was it
Speaker 3: this Sunday night? Yea Sunday night to Kansas They have
Speaker 3: family there, My mother in law and I cut my
Speaker 3: sister in law went. They went to the steakhouse owned
Speaker 3: by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelson five six seven. They
Speaker 3: didn't get in until after nine o'clock at night on
Speaker 3: Saturday night because it was so crowded. And I asked
Speaker 3: him how it was you know what? They said, Yeah,
Speaker 3: just a steakhouse. That's all it is. That's it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Of course it got the glitz and the glamour because
Speaker 3: it's Patrick Mahomes and you know, Travis kelsabber and the glitter.
Speaker 3: But you know you're not you're not getting, you know,
Speaker 3: anything special. It's like going to a Mastros or a Morton. Okay,
Speaker 3: well that Capitol Grill. Those are good restaurants. They're very good,
Speaker 3: but it's just, you know, well, what did.
Speaker 1: They think was gonna happen? Travis Kelcey was gonna break
Speaker 1: their table like a Buffalo Bills fan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Patrick Mahomes now serves you, here's your a. No
Speaker 3: it's not happening. Okay, it's time for the funal our
Speaker 3: fun fat.
Speaker 5: In effect, it's the yeah We're three.
Speaker 3: Fun fun Fact.
Speaker 1: Fun Fact is brought to you by Can Cordia University
Speaker 1: Masters and Coaching Program.
Speaker 3: It's a fact a coach will have more influence on
Speaker 3: you than any other person in your life because you're
Speaker 3: around them more than anybody else during your impressionable high
Speaker 3: school and college years. Become one of those coaches administrators
Speaker 3: that you can be leaned on by other kids and
Speaker 3: student athletes. Go to CUI dot edu slash coaching CUI
Speaker 3: dot edu slash coaching, I can be leaned on by
Speaker 3: other kids.
Speaker 1: We've got Army Navy here this weekend, and I have
Speaker 1: a fun fact of the Army Navy game.
Speaker 3: If you're interested in that case, see I will watch
Speaker 3: this game tomorrow.
Speaker 1: From the series that was once interrupted from eighteen ninety
Speaker 1: four to eighteen ninety eight. Why the eighteen ninety three
Speaker 1: game between Army Navy was hotly contested and there was
Speaker 1: an argument afterwards between an Army general and a Navy
Speaker 1: rear admiral and they almost got into a duel. They
Speaker 1: almost killed each other over it, and it was highly
Speaker 1: publicized and it really upset the president, the commander in
Speaker 1: chief at the time, Grover Cleveland, and he was so
Speaker 1: upset that Cleveland banned the game and he started to
Speaker 1: ban in eighteen ninety four. In eighteen ninety eight it
Speaker 1: didn't play either, okay, but Teddy Roosevelt got elected new
Speaker 1: president and he pushed to have it stored. In eighteen
Speaker 1: ninety nine, the Army Navy game came back despite that
Speaker 1: rear admiral and a general in the Army getting in
Speaker 1: a near duel. Now, the game was off for a
Speaker 1: little while during World War One and then some eligibility
Speaker 1: disputes in the late twenties, but it has become a
Speaker 1: continued tradition annually.
Speaker 3: Eligibility disputes. Why he had juco guys who were in
Speaker 3: eld nineteen thirty.
Speaker 1: Well, in the late twenties they had eligibility dispute, so
Speaker 1: they probably said, like say that guy can't come back
Speaker 1: from the front in France and plays twenty eight years old,
Speaker 1: gotcha or something like that. They've got in a fight
Speaker 1: over who should be able to play in a game.
Speaker 1: But it's a continued tradition since nineteen thirty and it'll
Speaker 1: be great again.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you to Teddy Roosevelt for bringing him back
Speaker 3: the rough rider himself. Cooler heads prevailed four years later.
Speaker 3: No thank you to grow over Cleveland well, I mean,
Speaker 3: they don't make a political president Army. He's not political.
Speaker 3: He was scared that somebody was gonna get killed over it.
Speaker 3: Oh was that bad?
Speaker 1: Well, they was gonna be in a duel. They're gonna
Speaker 1: pull guns and shoot each other. You know, It's one
Speaker 1: thing to have Avery Johnson's parents fighting after the Kansas
Speaker 1: State game in Dublin. It's a whole other thing to
Speaker 1: have a National Army Navy game and the two sides
Speaker 1: shoot at each other afterwards.
Speaker 3: In our own military corrections and retraction, it wasn't his parents,
Speaker 3: it was his brother and his dad. All right, I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: And the brother was down in the street. You're right
Speaker 3: in the cutter time for quick hits. Somebody ms quick hits.
Speaker 3: Come make it quick, y'all? Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Former Michigan coach Sharon Moore was arraigned today in court
Speaker 1: and is all whites. He faces charges of felony home
Speaker 1: invasion in the third degree, misdemeanor stalking, and misdemeanor breaking
Speaker 1: and entering. Felony home invasion carries up to five years
Speaker 1: in prison and a two thousand dollars fine. Stalking one
Speaker 1: year at one thousand dollars fine. Breaking and entering up
Speaker 1: to ninety days in jail in a five hundred dollars fine.
Speaker 1: His video and is in a small room where he's
Speaker 1: wearing a white jail issued outfit, and the prosecutors alleging
Speaker 1: that Moore broke into the victims home before grabbing several
Speaker 1: butter knives and finding kitchen shears, and at that point
Speaker 1: is alleged to threaten to kill himself, blaming the victim
Speaker 1: for ruining his life. According to the prosecutor, More said,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna kill myself. I'm gonna make you watch. My
Speaker 1: blood is on your hands. You ruined my life. Here
Speaker 1: is Charger head coach Jim Harbaugh, who endorsed Sharon today
Speaker 1: on Sharon's situation at Michigan.
Speaker 6: Still processing that.
Speaker 5: That heard that.
Speaker 6: Chad Jessp told me one of our equipment guys when
Speaker 6: we're coming off the field on Thursday. So it is
Speaker 6: still processing that, like a lot of people.
Speaker 3: I'm sure as you can imagine, Jim's not going to
Speaker 3: say a lot skill at this on a playout, I
Speaker 3: can imagine. Yeah, it's it's the tough seeing Petros forty
Speaker 3: eight hours ago. This guy is the head coach in
Speaker 3: Michigan and today he's wearing a white jumpsuit in a
Speaker 3: tiny little room on a video talking to it all
Speaker 3: collapsed down. I mean, unreal, just unbelieving this happens more
Speaker 3: than people would be comfortable knowing. Now, if you are
Speaker 3: a recruit going to Michigan, Let's say you're Brady Smigel,
Speaker 3: the quarterback at Newbury Park, and you're you're set to
Speaker 3: go there in a few weeks as an early enrollee.
Speaker 3: Are you still going?
Speaker 1: They're probably gonna try to hold their stuff together, and
Speaker 1: they're gonna do that with money. They're gonna hold together
Speaker 1: their empire with money because Michigan has money. You know
Speaker 1: who else has money? The Dodgers. They introduced Eddie Diaz
Speaker 1: Sugar Daz to the LA media. Today is a new
Speaker 1: closer for the Dodgers. You'll hear from Daz coming up
Speaker 1: at seven o'clock with David Vasse on Dodger Talk. You
Speaker 1: will also hear Brandon Goalmes in the very next segment,
Speaker 1: as we caught up with him a little bit earlier
Speaker 1: the Dodger GM on your Dodger Station. The Lakers are
Speaker 1: seventeen and seven. We talked to Sliwa last hour good
Speaker 1: conversation there in Phoenix on Sunday to face the Suns,
Speaker 1: and the Clippers, who are likely to lose every time
Speaker 1: they take the floor, are six and nineteen, and they're
Speaker 1: off until Monday when they host the Memphis Grizz Clippers.
Speaker 1: Apparently this is really sad case.
Speaker 3: I had to include it any quick hits Petros in
Speaker 3: the last twenty four hours. It came to light after
Speaker 3: the loss in Houston last night to the Rockets. Ty
Speaker 3: Lu didn't speak to the media, and some people who
Speaker 3: cover the team on social media but don't travel say, hey, way, well,
Speaker 3: where's the video, where's Tylu talking to the media postgame?
Speaker 3: There is no did he blow off the media? And
Speaker 3: the Clippers said no, Tylu was available. There just was
Speaker 3: no traveling members of any media organization there last night
Speaker 3: to talk to him and ask him questions postgame. That
Speaker 3: is a sad commentation. No La Times, no daily news,
Speaker 3: no local TV.
Speaker 1: That's a sad commentary on the Clippers, but it's also
Speaker 1: a sad commentary of the shape and state of local
Speaker 1: sports news because that's pathetic.
Speaker 3: I mean, if this is se playing in a game
Speaker 3: football wise, there's tons of media there Pingolore's going to
Speaker 3: Orlando to cover the winter meetings. Tell me to think
Speaker 3: of it. Ain't got that pain. He's covering winter meetings
Speaker 3: where usually nothing happened.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe they ought to send Pinglore, then they should.
Speaker 1: The Chargers are nine and four. They're on a plane
Speaker 1: with Matt Smith coming off of win over the Eagles
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football. They're going to Kansas City. Let's
Speaker 1: go cheese to face the Chiefs on Sunday. The Chiefs,
Speaker 1: even though they're kind of out of the playoffs, are
Speaker 1: a six point home favorite.
Speaker 3: Let's get cheese. They're mathematically not technically out of it yet,
Speaker 3: but they need a lot of stuff to fall their way.
Speaker 3: The Chiefs. Let's go cheese. Let's go cheese.
Speaker 1: The Rams are ten and three at home versus the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions on Sunday. They're a six point home favorite.
Speaker 1: Will the Ram people be overwhelmed by the Detroit people
Speaker 1: at SOFI and boo Matt Stafford in front of his
Speaker 1: wife and kids.
Speaker 3: No, No, that's not gonna happen. Okay, Rams fans, we'll
Speaker 3: show up.
Speaker 1: Kelly Stafford might have something to say about it through
Speaker 1: Carrissa Thompson or Aaron Andrews. Who are her proxies now
Speaker 1: that her podcast has been canceled, no way or not canceled,
Speaker 1: but they're friends. Yeah, Steelers pass Russer TJ. Watts lung collapsed.
Speaker 1: How about that terrible news. He had successful surgery yesterday
Speaker 1: to puff his lung back up to repair partially collapse.
Speaker 1: Long that's not good. After a dry needling session at
Speaker 1: the team practic assess they popped this lung with a needle.
Speaker 3: Have you ever had dry needling not acupunctury? Apparently it's different.
Speaker 3: I did this whole deep dive a couple hours ago. Petros,
Speaker 3: They're completely different dry needling in acupuncture. Well, how deep
Speaker 3: does the needle go if it popped us lung? For
Speaker 3: God's sake, dry needling involves bigger needles that go deeper
Speaker 3: into you to really get into your tissue. And they
Speaker 3: popped his lung. They popped his lung. That's terrible. I
Speaker 3: saw some quotes from NFL guys and former players too,
Speaker 3: said maybe it used to They used to make them
Speaker 3: cry because it hurts so bad, But you felt better
Speaker 3: twenty four hours because it alleviated the pain and the
Speaker 3: swelling and the tissue, but not in this case, not
Speaker 3: for everybody. Geez, occupuncture's one thing just on the top
Speaker 3: of your skin there to release the pores, but to
Speaker 3: get into your tissue. I mean, justin Herbert became a starter.
Speaker 3: Tyrod Taylor, Yeah, he got his lung popped when they
Speaker 3: hit him with a Cortizon shot or something. That's right.
Speaker 1: UCLA and College who plays number eight Gonzaga tomorrow night
Speaker 1: in Seattle. That's a pretty cool game. He's pretty tip off.
Speaker 3: It's late. Uh, Mick is not happy about that, Old
Speaker 3: Mick Crown.
Speaker 7: Yeah, my dad's real happy about He's gonna the's eighty four.
Speaker 7: He's gonna have to take two naps on Saturday to
Speaker 7: be able to watch us play Saturday night.
Speaker 5: I mean, what are we doing.
Speaker 1: It's a big time neutral site game that both schools
Speaker 1: get paid to play. Here's Mick again, very honest as always.
Speaker 7: They raise money for our program to buy players. I mean,
Speaker 7: everybody else can talk about recruiting, you know, write about
Speaker 7: why kids pick schools.
Speaker 5: I don't have time for it. I'm too old. You know,
Speaker 5: I've done enough. It's comical. It's good. You know, we're
Speaker 5: semi pro. Our guys do go to school.
Speaker 7: Guys picked schools because they get paid, so they's neutral
Speaker 7: site games help raise money. So when the next spring,
Speaker 7: when everybody says, when we get signed, a guy in
Speaker 7: the portal and he you go to interview him and
Speaker 7: tells you he really bonded me with me and I've.
Speaker 5: Known him for two weeks.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know we're gonna honor coach Roberts at the game, Okay,
Speaker 7: as we should.
Speaker 5: He really, he really bonded with oti. That's why. That's
Speaker 5: why he signed with the Dodgers two years ago.
Speaker 3: Mix Right guys aren't coming here just because they like
Speaker 3: mixed personality, just like show Hey didn't sign with the
Speaker 3: Dodgers because he loved Dave Roberts after meeting them. They're
Speaker 3: there for one reason. But Dave Roberts was born in
Speaker 3: ok Now doesn't matter. And by the way, Mix Right
Speaker 3: eight thirty tip offs because it's a made for TV
Speaker 3: time slot, you can play it on ESPN. It's one
Speaker 3: of these, you know, standalone games where both teams are
Speaker 3: getting paid a lot of money to play. They played
Speaker 3: at in Englewood last year and into it Dome. It's
Speaker 3: considered a home and home, but on neutral sites So
Speaker 3: they played here in LA last year, they're playing up
Speaker 3: in Seattle this year, making a lot of money off it.
Speaker 3: It mixed, right, Hey, I think this money is just
Speaker 3: going in my pocket. It's going back in the players pockets.
Speaker 1: Going in your pocket. So get ready to play Gonzaga
Speaker 1: late at night tomorrow. I'll be watching the LA Ball
Speaker 1: all right. We'll be back with more. Petro send money
Speaker 1: on AM five seventy LA Sports. Brendan Gomes Dodger GM
Speaker 1: will join us next and don't forget David Vasse at
Speaker 1: seven o'clock with Dodger Talk featuring Edwin Diaz.

Speaker 3: with LA Sports.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, everybody, Petro send money on AM five seventy
Speaker 1: LA Sports on a Frogman Friday, your home of the
Speaker 1: back to back World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Tim
Speaker 1: kaits co hosting today and it was a big day
Speaker 1: over at day Dodger Stadium. Always fun in the off season,
Speaker 1: or in the hot stove. Dodger fans have learned to
Speaker 1: celebrate new signings and think favorably upon the future because
Speaker 1: of moves that guys like Brandon Gomes. Specifically, guys like
Speaker 1: Brandon Gomes are making a friend of the show come
Speaker 1: a long way since his days as a young towny
Speaker 1: in the north, in the Northeast. I'm sorry, I shouldn't
Speaker 1: say that joining us on your Southern California celebrity hotline.
Speaker 1: It is Dodger GM making huge moves, Edwin Diaz introduced today.
Speaker 1: Last time he spoke before that, you guessed it at
Speaker 1: the parade. I might have talked to somebody in Orlando,
Speaker 1: but I wasn't there. Gomes, what's cracking?
Speaker 3: How are you.
Speaker 8: Doing well? Guys? Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's fabulous to have you. Just give us a
Speaker 1: little idea of how this took shape with Edwin Diaz
Speaker 1: felt like it caught a lot of people, especially stupid
Speaker 1: people like us, off guard.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, going into the off season obviously looking
Speaker 8: for ways to add to what's already a really talented roster.
Speaker 8: So there's not you know, there's only so many names
Speaker 8: that you know, make sense as far as like really
Speaker 8: impactful additions like this, so you know, keep in touch,
Speaker 8: but not sure how it was all going to play out.
Speaker 8: And then over the last week or so, you know,
Speaker 8: things started to materialize to where, okay, we might actually
Speaker 8: have a shot here, and you know, had the opportunity
Speaker 8: to really engage in conversations and feel like both sides
Speaker 8: were ready to make a move and you know, fortunate
Speaker 8: enough to ultimately get get Sugar Sugar Dias on the team.
Speaker 3: What was it about Edwin in particular? What was it
Speaker 3: that you guys circled him on your board and wanted
Speaker 3: him to be that back into the bullpen kind of guy.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean the track record of dominance and having
Speaker 8: done it on the biggest stage obviously in New York,
Speaker 8: and then also being it firsthand in the postseason. That's
Speaker 8: first and foremost. And then you know, you start digging
Speaker 8: on the just the person and the character and what
Speaker 8: he brings to the table and from a clubhouse perspective
Speaker 8: and mentoring younger guys in his ability to go out
Speaker 8: there and take the ball like whenever the team asks
Speaker 8: in order to help him win. You know, really selfless
Speaker 8: type guy that fits in with our other superstars with
Speaker 8: no ego, so that that total package was incredibly appealing.
Speaker 8: You have the opportunity to add that talent and then
Speaker 8: also that person in the clubhouse who's you know, was
Speaker 8: a no brainer once we get down to it.
Speaker 3: Last year, you guys made a splash and free agency
Speaker 3: with the bullpen as well with Kirby Yates, Tanner Scott.
Speaker 3: Tanner Scott didn't have certainly this season you guys had
Speaker 3: expected him to have and he'll be the first person
Speaker 3: to say that, what do you guys expect out of
Speaker 3: Tanner Scott and how he can kind of fit in
Speaker 3: and piece together with Edwin Diaz at the back end
Speaker 3: of that bullpen.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think, you know, talking to Tanner recently and
Speaker 8: you know, just throughout the season, fully expect him to
Speaker 8: come back to his previous dominance as well and feel
Speaker 8: like it's a great, you know, another great piece to
Speaker 8: have in our pen to go along with a bunch
Speaker 8: of other guys who have who've done it once again,
Speaker 8: have a track record of just being really hard to hit,
Speaker 8: and he's going to be another important piece to us,
Speaker 8: you know, trying to go out and win another championship.
Speaker 3: Gomer, when you guys go to Orlando for the Winter Meetings,
Speaker 3: How are the Dodgers received by everybody else around Major
Speaker 3: League Baseball? You know, if you look on social media,
Speaker 3: you guys are the evil Empire of the West now.
Speaker 3: But you go to Orlando and the Baseball Winner Meetings
Speaker 3: when the Dodgers walk in and those quarters at Polos
Speaker 3: are being war with that Dodger logo on it. How
Speaker 3: are the Dodgers scene around Baseball and Orlando when you
Speaker 3: guys were at the Winter Meetings? Is back to back
Speaker 3: world champs?
Speaker 8: I'm not really sure. I think we have a lot
Speaker 8: of really good relationships across across the game, and you know,
Speaker 8: I think the Winter Meetings, everybody knows that you're there
Speaker 8: to go and try to make your team as good
Speaker 8: as possible. And you know, obviously it's great coming off
Speaker 8: back to back championships, but nothing, you know, taking nothing
Speaker 8: for granted, and continuing to try to grind and do
Speaker 8: everything we can to go out and put the best
Speaker 8: team out there again.
Speaker 1: And you guys certainly do that. And there's always trade
Speaker 1: rumors going on this time of the year, and you
Speaker 1: guys are all together, I mean, we we think of
Speaker 1: the Dodgers as this global organization and you guys are
Speaker 1: but you guys all work together, are in contact together.
Speaker 1: How do you guys deal with some of your own
Speaker 1: players being named in trade rumors? Is that uncomfortable?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 8: I mean some of this stuff that comes out there
Speaker 8: is like, wow, that's that's in Brandon know we were
Speaker 8: doing that, or I didn't know that guy was being
Speaker 8: talked about. So I think a lot of it's funny.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 8: Obviously, if there's any concern, we will just reach out
Speaker 8: to the player agent specifically.
Speaker 3: But you know, you.
Speaker 8: Can't help what's put out there, and a lot of it,
Speaker 8: the vast majority of it is just made up. So
Speaker 8: you know, I think it's really important to maintain good
Speaker 8: relationships with our players and keep the lines of communication
Speaker 8: open when when things like that pop out there, to
Speaker 8: make sure there's no you know, the game of assumptions
Speaker 8: can be dangerous.
Speaker 3: Brandon, with a closer now signed going into twenty twenty six,
Speaker 3: what else are you guys as a front office looking
Speaker 3: for for this this roster in twenty twenty six? What
Speaker 3: what are the other needs that maybe you guys are
Speaker 3: looking at to address.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm not sure as much needs with you know,
Speaker 8: we have so much versatility and already really talented roster.
Speaker 8: It's being you know, patient and you know, continuing to
Speaker 8: assess what's available to whether it's a hey, this is
Speaker 8: another you know impact you know, quote unquote splashy mover,
Speaker 8: or is this just another like good move to help
Speaker 8: us win baseball games and round out a roster and
Speaker 8: you know, giving us different options both now and in
Speaker 8: the future. So I think there's a lot of just
Speaker 8: kind of assessing what's available and looking at our own
Speaker 8: roster internally and how to make it as strong as
Speaker 8: possible and built to you know, be successful both in
Speaker 8: the regular season, which means you have to have a
Speaker 8: lot of really good players in depth, and then also
Speaker 8: in the postseason and how to you know, strike that balance.
Speaker 1: Brandon Gomes joining us right now on the Petros and
Speaker 1: Money Show Dodgers GM, a man who wields power over
Speaker 1: one of the great franchises from history of sports going
Speaker 1: through a golden age right now. But no matter how
Speaker 1: gold in the age, as Gomes, do you guys take
Speaker 1: calls on like Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in New
Speaker 1: Year's Day, does the stove remain hot? On these certain
Speaker 1: like does any does anybody take a day off when
Speaker 1: it comes to the holidays and the stove.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean we certainly try to. My wife might
Speaker 8: disagree with me, but.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the goal.
Speaker 8: There needs to be at some point some unplugging and
Speaker 8: put the phone down. And as you could, it's the
Speaker 8: type of job that really it's you could always be
Speaker 8: digging on players or looking at somebody else, and so
Speaker 8: at a certain point think okay, let's we're gonna put
Speaker 8: this down and go be with your family. I think
Speaker 8: that's also a really important part of being able to
Speaker 8: recharge and then come back, you know, at full force
Speaker 8: after that, you know, being able to spend some quality
Speaker 8: time with the family.
Speaker 3: Brandon certainly a lot of talk the last couple of
Speaker 3: days about maybe a potential blockbuster deal that could be
Speaker 3: out there and made between the Dodgers and a northern
Speaker 3: another organization in Major League Baseball. Certainly, you can't say anything,
Speaker 3: we all understand that. But would the Dodgers be in
Speaker 3: the market for a front of the rotation left hander
Speaker 3: if one was out there?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I don't know if that's necessarily or
Speaker 8: pressing a pressing need at this point. So, like we said,
Speaker 8: with everything we do, we're we're having conversations and finding
Speaker 8: ways to you know, trying to figure out if this
Speaker 8: is something that makes sense for us, both in the
Speaker 8: short term and long term. And some things play out
Speaker 8: and some things don't. So I think how we function
Speaker 8: is like be open on everything and if it makes
Speaker 8: sense ultimately, we'll do it.
Speaker 1: Finally, since there's so many players on your team that
Speaker 1: are from other countries, especially Japan, and some of the
Speaker 1: most important players Heroic Cofax, like Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei o Tani,
Speaker 1: Roki Sasaki, and the World World Baseball Classic is coming up.
Speaker 1: How many conversations do you have with those guys or
Speaker 1: the Japanese government. I mean, I don't know if you
Speaker 1: call their prime minister or I mean, how does it work.
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's a formal process that you have to go
Speaker 8: through with Major League Baseball and then the PA and
Speaker 8: having conversations. So those things take some time, and like
Speaker 8: anything we do, we have the conversations with the player
Speaker 8: and figure out, you know what what ultimately is the
Speaker 8: you know what we come down to. So those are
Speaker 8: still down the road and we've got to figure that
Speaker 8: out here coming up in the next I don't even
Speaker 8: know what the date is, but over the next couple
Speaker 8: of weeks we'll continue to have those conversations.
Speaker 3: Final thing for me, Brandon, as a forward pitch of
Speaker 3: yourself and a player, have you had a chance to
Speaker 3: just step back in the last six weeks since the
Speaker 3: end of the World Series and kind of digest what
Speaker 3: happened in that World Series, from the eighteen Inni marathon games,
Speaker 3: to the appearances that guys made from the will Kleines
Speaker 3: of the world, to what Yamamoto did to Game six,
Speaker 3: the catches, Game seven, the catch in the outfield, the
Speaker 3: home runs, I mean, the dramatics of it all. We
Speaker 3: may never see a World Series like that again. Heck,
Speaker 3: we're replaying Game seven all the time here on a
Speaker 3: FI seven LA Sports MLB Net were popular than our
Speaker 3: show is replaying the games three, four, five, six, and
Speaker 3: seven of the World Series because everybody just wants to
Speaker 3: get to see them and they can't get enough of them.
Speaker 3: Have you had a chance just kind of realize, my gosh,
Speaker 3: what we did was pretty special.
Speaker 8: Uh yeah, I mean, I think obviously you get done
Speaker 8: with the parade and then your body tells you no,
Speaker 8: Moss and I get sick immediately, and then you know,
Speaker 8: you start having different conversations with people or you know.
Speaker 3: Over the winter meetings, we're having dinner with all of.
Speaker 8: Us and Doc and everyone, and just like recalling like,
Speaker 8: oh man, you know the months he catch on the
Speaker 8: line drive, the Yama Bunt play, Like you start going
Speaker 8: through all those things that you know, get a lit
Speaker 8: little less recognition than some of the other plays. So yeah,
Speaker 8: hugely over over dinner and you know, unplugging for a bit,
Speaker 8: you start to rehash some of the crazy moments and
Speaker 8: really appreciate what that world series was and obviously ending
Speaker 8: up on the on the better side of it is.
Speaker 3: Great for us.
Speaker 8: But I think just from a baseball perspective, taking a
Speaker 8: step back like really good for the game and for
Speaker 8: fans all across the country and world.
Speaker 1: Straightforward, honest and entertaining stuff from the great Brandon Gomes.

Speaker 3: This has nothing to do with Birmingham, England. Joseph O.
Speaker 1: Shelby, Oh cousin Shelby, please TiO please, They're right.
Speaker 3: Joseph O.
Speaker 1: Shelby would be one hundred and ninety five today Western
Speaker 1: Theater Confederate general one of the characters of the Civil
Speaker 1: War from Lexington, Kentucky, home of the basketball team that
Speaker 1: caliber Pari used to cook.
Speaker 3: This could be a great uncle or cousin of the
Speaker 3: Shelbys from Birmingham. They fought World War One for England,
Speaker 3: so this is a Confederate maybe a couple of generations.
Speaker 1: Before Well, he manufactured rope, had a hemp plantation and
Speaker 1: a steamboat endeavor. In his adulthood in Missouri, he was
Speaker 1: one of the state's wealthiest men. And during what is
Speaker 1: known as Bleeding Kansas. Do you know what that is?
Speaker 3: I've heard it, I studied it, I don't remain It's the.
Speaker 1: Fight between Kansas and Missouri to make it a slave
Speaker 1: state or a free state. History shines upon Kansas and
Speaker 1: free state brewing because they wanted to be a free state,
Speaker 1: missoo the opposite. So after Fort he fought hard to
Speaker 1: make Kansas a slave state basically, and after Fort Sumter,
Speaker 1: which is what started the Civil War, tempt correct, he
Speaker 1: formed a mounted rifle State Guard Service and that group
Speaker 1: got involved in what they would call the Western Theater
Speaker 1: Arkansas Missouri. Places like that Carthage Wilson's Creek Pea Ridge
Speaker 1: battles that they fought, and then the Confederates gave him
Speaker 1: a cavalry regiment that's with horses.
Speaker 3: I know that, and then a brigade.
Speaker 1: That brigade became one of the more famous brigades of
Speaker 1: the Civil War. The Iron Brigade and Shelby's Iron Brigade
Speaker 1: inflicted a lot of damage in Missoo on big raids.
Speaker 1: The Iron Brigade wreaked havoc in the West, lots of
Speaker 1: stuff that he got involved with with the Iron Brigade
Speaker 1: under general price for the Confederate army. But after that,
Speaker 1: this is the most interesting part about Shelby, other than
Speaker 1: those individual Civil War battles, which you can all look up.
Speaker 1: They're all stories in and of themselves.
Speaker 3: Robert E.
Speaker 1: Lee, of course, surrendered in Virginia, and rather than surrender,
Speaker 1: Shelby and his one thousand dudes rode into Mexico, sank
Speaker 1: the battle flag in the Rio Grande, went across the
Speaker 1: border to declare allegiance and their services to Emperor Maximilian
Speaker 1: there in Mexico. Wow, the guy they ended up hanging
Speaker 1: or executing in some way Maximilian said thanks, but no
Speaker 1: thanks guys. And that group that went down to Mexico
Speaker 1: is the basis for the John Wayne rock Hudson movie
Speaker 1: The Undefeated. They were known as the Undefeated. They settled
Speaker 1: in an American settlement in Vera, Cruz. How long do
Speaker 1: you think they lasted? No long about two years. And
Speaker 1: then he went back to Missouri and farmed because they
Speaker 1: kind of pardoned everybody. He was elected US Marshall and
Speaker 1: served for decades. Good for him in Missouri even appointed
Speaker 1: black people to office despite heavy criticism, so kicking and screaming,
Speaker 1: he was dragged into modern thought. The young wife, who
Speaker 1: was his second cousin, died at sixty six in eighteen
Speaker 1: ninety seven. Joseph Shelby, who was said to have been
Speaker 1: a brilliant cavalry officer.

Speaker 3: I mean, you're really this is not a stubby leg joke.
Speaker 1: You're really stretching your legs because you you have yet
Speaker 1: to even conquer Japan, though you've made some good headway
Speaker 1: with your commercials, and now your legs are so long
Speaker 1: that you're overstepping China into Asia.
Speaker 3: Just right over China. At the age of twenty five,
Speaker 3: he had his first breakout movie, A Prova Raganaga. He
Speaker 3: was originally a villain, cast as a villain the bad
Speaker 3: guy in multiple movies that as the years went on,
Speaker 3: he became the hero, and then he became the superhero,
Speaker 3: which he is now. He's got a unique acting style,
Speaker 3: characterized by his trademark gesture of flipping a cigarette in
Speaker 3: the air and catching it in his mouth. He puts
Speaker 3: it out about two feet in front of him and
Speaker 3: just flicks it back and catches it with the side
Speaker 3: of his lips. How many times can you do that?
Speaker 3: Cannot do it at all? I mean in a movie
Speaker 3: he must do it a lot. That's I mean, no
Speaker 3: matter the movie, the plot, he does it in every movie.
Speaker 3: It is his signature trademark. He has done comedies. He's
Speaker 3: considered the great actor of his time. He does actions, dramas.
Speaker 3: He's not very good at dancing. And then you asked
Speaker 3: about the Bollywood that's what he doesn't consider himself or
Speaker 3: is considered by people in India a Bollywood actor. He's
Speaker 3: more of a theatrical actor, does dramas, does action movies.
Speaker 3: No Bollywood, doesn't sing, doesn't dance. He has done petros
Speaker 3: over one hundred and seventy films in his career. It
Speaker 3: is believed that if you want him in a movie now,

Speaker 3: old is he seventy five? Seventy five years old, five
Speaker 3: decades of acting. He has won every award in India
Speaker 3: and he has spread his wings into Asia, winning awards.

Speaker 3: compare him to a Hollywood US actor, he already did.

Speaker 3: Tom Cruise actor as far as the same generation kind
Speaker 3: of tight cast. Sylvester Stallone Stone legendary action stars with
Speaker 3: massive fan bases, and their acting styles and cultural contexts
Speaker 3: differ just as significantly.
Speaker 1: Well, I wouldn't elect Stabone or Tom Cruise to a
Speaker 1: political position either, but I guess it wouldn't be that
Speaker 1: much of a right version.
Speaker 3: Also been compared to Chuck Norris, nice dude to those
Speaker 3: Ininvincible on screen characters. Been compared to Marlon Brando, young
Speaker 3: actor and has been able to do it now in
