Speaker 2: and I didn't like that on the outskirts of the
Speaker 2: desert in a meaningless game. I didn't like what he.
Speaker 3: Did in place. Time and place is what Kate's called
Speaker 3: for and only Kate's cares. In our very last segment,
Speaker 3: Ellie de la Cruz doing the gritty.
Speaker 2: I don't like what he did.
Speaker 3: In a fourteen to thirteen contest against the Dodgers. Not right.

Speaker 2: in the world. Matt with the word of the day.
Speaker 2: How his words? The word of the day. Today's word
Speaker 2: of the day is gator. Now, I've never been to Gainesville,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure that there's something in Gainesville that's cooler
Speaker 2: than everybody in the swamp at a Florida game singing.
Speaker 2: I won't back down between the third and fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: But if there is something cooler in Gainesville, the home
Speaker 2: of Tom Petty, I don't know what it is. New
Speaker 2: Florida coach, Matt. Do you remember who Florida hired to
Speaker 2: be their head foods smaller two lane guy? Yes, John
Speaker 2: Sumraw Bingo, well done, some rall. The new coach at
Speaker 2: Florida did a photo shoot and when he was standing
Speaker 2: out there doing the photo shoot, they brought out a
Speaker 2: live seven foot alligator to make it cool. Like here,
Speaker 2: I am the coach of the Gators, and I am
Speaker 2: standing with this alligator because we play in the swamp. Now,
Speaker 2: a seven foot alligator. I know Ronnie's scoffing in there
Speaker 2: because it's not as big as a big gator that
Speaker 2: Troy Landry would pull out of the water in swap
Speaker 2: people to catch and choot. That's more of a twelve
Speaker 2: ten foot gator.
Speaker 4: I'll go gotta get that fourteen foot getter now, Pacha.
Speaker 2: But some raw did a shoot to look cool in
Speaker 2: the swamp where they live. Gator some rawl said, hang on,
Speaker 2: what am I doing here? I'm pretty certain i'd look
Speaker 2: like Chubb from Happy Gilmore if the alligator had gotten
Speaker 2: close to my hand.
Speaker 3: That is a quote from the new coach at floor
Speaker 3: Latable by the kids. They do love the Happy Gilmore.
Speaker 2: I guess some raw got a little too close to it,
Speaker 2: and it hissed and snapped a couple times during the photo.
Speaker 3: Shut right, tell me a seven foot gator is not
Speaker 3: able to keep his temple in a photo shoot.
Speaker 2: So I'm the head coach of the Florida Gators. Who
Speaker 2: are you snapping at? Would you snapping? Will must champion
Speaker 2: such a weir. The alligator's name was Helen Uh from
Speaker 2: a nearby gay gator farm. A gay gator farm, no straight?
Speaker 2: I just why are you done it?
Speaker 3: I'm stuttered, man, I'm sorry? Are you gay?
Speaker 2: You know I have a speech at pediment. You want
Speaker 2: to make fun of that too, You want to make
Speaker 2: fun of that? Said what I didn't say gay, I
Speaker 2: said gator. You said gay first. If you want to
Speaker 2: be like a Georgia fan and be like, hey, we're
Speaker 2: taking on the gay tours, you be that way.
Speaker 3: But I'm not patty like that, whether it comes to
Speaker 3: the sec not be.
Speaker 5: Where does the USC basketball play at the Gay and Center?
Speaker 2: Right about that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Saturday, free tickets get him from the Sons of
Speaker 3: Westwood back to the game.
Speaker 2: Talk about gay sons of Westwood. Those guys are pretty gay.
Speaker 2: Other men of Westwood. The USC wan's gay too, the
Speaker 2: Sons of Troy. When the Sons of Troy beat the
Speaker 2: men of Westwood, they grease each other up and go
Speaker 2: slip sliding. Jesus, I was just talking a gay gator. Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 2: Matt sum Raw was the coach at Troy and then Tulane,
Speaker 2: and it is amazing he survived this long in the
Speaker 2: South without being eaten by an alligator. Anyway, if we
Speaker 2: lived in Florida, I'm sure we'd see these pictures. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: we do not live in Florida and we don't follow
Speaker 2: the football program very very closely.
Speaker 3: Be cool. If you did what that one coach did
Speaker 3: with a shark and get all naked and laid with it.
Speaker 2: That was also a Florida coach. And that was not
Speaker 2: That did not happen. That was not him. That that
Speaker 2: was not him.
Speaker 3: That was definitely him.
Speaker 2: That was the Colorado State coach. I covered that guy.
Speaker 2: I forget his name starts with an M. I think
Speaker 2: the guy that he f the dead shark, But that
Speaker 2: wasn't him. Like for years, every time I mentioned that,
Speaker 2: people would feel we'd be like, you're wrong. It was
Speaker 2: a different, weird white coach. It wasn't a coach at all.
Speaker 2: But I do have to be I do have to
Speaker 2: say if I was an adventurer and I fought some giant,
Speaker 2: thousand pounds shark and pulled it out of the water,
Speaker 2: I might take off my clothes and pose with it
Speaker 2: and lay with it. Yeah, it was to stop me.
Speaker 2: If my friends are into it on the boat.
Speaker 3: Hey, take off all your clothes.
Speaker 2: Take off your clothes, and you made missionary position on
Speaker 2: top of this shark.
Speaker 3: You think it'll look good. I think will look awesome.
Speaker 3: Do the gritty next to it?
Speaker 2: That goes too far? Time and place for the gritty
Speaker 2: that shark gave us life. It's one thing to lay
Speaker 2: on it's sexually, it's another thing to dance over it.
Speaker 2: It is time for the number of the day. Up,
Speaker 2: number of the day.
Speaker 3: All right, number of the day is I don't know five.
Speaker 3: What's it been since our last taste test? Five years
Speaker 3: felt like it was.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't remember. I gotta be honest, I do not
Speaker 3: remember the last one. I truly remember, like legitimate.
Speaker 2: The last time we had McDonald's in here was a
Speaker 2: big rib and it was a terrible fifteen years ago
Speaker 2: or something. Well, we had the the Dorito's tacos were
Speaker 2: a big hit.
Speaker 3: Oh, there we go. That's probably what about ten years ago. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, it's been a while, been a while. So
Speaker 3: today I made a comment the other day about Rodney
Speaker 3: eating on the air. So Matt brings in four different
Speaker 3: cheeseburgers for us. This thing on air, anybody can do
Speaker 3: the whole Let's let's try a big arch and see
Speaker 3: what it tastes like.
Speaker 2: But the true cats bought two big arches and a
Speaker 2: shamrock shape.
Speaker 3: Unbeknownst to us that we mine was twenty seven eighty
Speaker 3: four for one Big Mac quarter pounder with cheese, Big
Speaker 3: Arch and cheeseburg.
Speaker 2: What is the thought process behind the four burgers.
Speaker 3: I think we you know, as experts, that we are
Speaker 3: in the world of quick serf. Call it quick serve,
Speaker 3: don't call it fast food. I think it's important to
Speaker 3: recognize presentation taste as they compare to stay that we've
Speaker 3: become used to throughout the course.
Speaker 2: I guess yeah, I do know those other ones, and
Speaker 2: I'm not as familiar with the Big Arch, So.
Speaker 3: I think if you take the bite of the Big Arch,
Speaker 3: I'd like.
Speaker 2: To apologize to you, Big Arch, I was not familiar
Speaker 2: with your game.
Speaker 3: Then you can taste it against the bite of a
Speaker 3: quarter pounder.
Speaker 2: Now for context, the Big Arch up until this week
Speaker 2: has only been available in Germany, the United Kingdom, and
Speaker 2: Canada and some other places in Europe.
Speaker 3: And I would assume it's done very well. I don't know. Yes,
Speaker 3: it's a rival here on our show.
Speaker 2: Now it's here in America. Up until last week, you
Speaker 2: could only get it in California on an app, the
Speaker 2: McDonald's app in Corona, and now it's opened up to.
Speaker 3: Everybody, picked up right up the street in Burbank. So
Speaker 3: right off olive, here's the big Arch. So what do
Speaker 3: you want me to do? Well? I think you take
Speaker 3: the bite of the big Arch first and then I
Speaker 3: cut it into thirds. If you want to grab a
Speaker 3: piece out of their, throw it on the plate, all right,
Speaker 3: Martha Stewart, freaking weirdo.
Speaker 2: You didn't cut it all the way.
Speaker 3: Through, man, grab it, get it out of there, pull
Speaker 3: it apart like.
Speaker 2: Well, mad If it's gonna be a taste test, it's
Speaker 2: got to be balanced.
Speaker 3: Right, Kate's get your get your piece of the big Arch.
Speaker 3: There you go. Now there's there seems to be more
Speaker 3: going on with the Big Arch. Hey, what do we got? Appearance?
Speaker 2: Idam not? The CEO of McDonald's looks like it looks
Speaker 2: like a burger bathed in mac and cheese. It's an
Speaker 2: accurate description.
Speaker 3: That's kind of what it looks like. All right, here
Speaker 3: we go. It's a lot of meat.
Speaker 2: That's an excellent McDonald's burger. But I like all the
Speaker 2: McDonald's burgers. I'm an American man.
Speaker 3: That's a lot of meat, all right now.
Speaker 2: Now what see.
Speaker 3: If it tastes better? Well, see if it's better than
Speaker 3: the Big Arch. Again, poorly cut. That's on me. There
Speaker 3: you go, Kate's quarter pounder.
Speaker 2: The big Arch seems to have a species spice that
Speaker 2: the the other two lack.
Speaker 3: Quarter pounder is more like a whopper. It's got the
Speaker 3: mayo on there.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, they would argue that the Whopper is
Speaker 2: more than.
Speaker 3: Big Mac.
Speaker 2: Do I need the extra brand on the Big Mac? Matt?
Speaker 2: Can I remove.
Speaker 3: The remove the centerpiece of the bread, all right? Cheeseburger
Speaker 3: as well?
Speaker 2: Now, like if I'm at McDonald Like if the chips
Speaker 2: are really down and I'm at McDonald's right right, I
Speaker 2: don't know if the big Arch is enough for me
Speaker 2: to stray a single.
Speaker 3: Oh that's see, that's what we're kind of. Yeah, getting
Speaker 3: that here. That's all right, Kates. It might will be
Speaker 3: like a casse roll or something. Sorry, it's all right.
Speaker 3: These things happen. This is live ham handed idiot, Tim,
Speaker 3: This is live video. This is not TV. Okay, When
Speaker 3: those things are produced and they shut down and.
Speaker 2: They wax and make the food look all different and
Speaker 2: it's all gussied up, this is the real thing. McDonald's CEO.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I look at Matt. He's like he's like a toddler.
Speaker 3: Over there.
Speaker 2: I do like get mad a sippy cup with a
Speaker 2: Shamrock shake in it.
Speaker 3: I feel like that Big Mac, the Big Mac, and.
Speaker 2: The cheeseburger are more dry than the Big Arch and
Speaker 2: the quarter pounder with cheese.
Speaker 3: There is a dryness, especially that cheeseburger.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I like, you know, it is almost like
Speaker 2: eating a little cardboard And that's what McDonald's is all about,
Speaker 2: cardboard and plastic.
Speaker 3: All right, one through four? One through four, the quarter
Speaker 3: pound is still number one, Okay, the Big the Big Mac.
Speaker 2: Is number two, the Big Arch is number three. Cheeseburger
Speaker 2: four cheeseburger, and they're all excellent. Ok I'm an American
Speaker 2: and I'm here for the Golden Arches and Ray Kroc.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go Big Arch, one quarter pounder, two Big Mac,
Speaker 5: three di and fourth is the cheeseburger.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that two cheeseburger meal used to be the go to.
Speaker 3: And now when you just kind of run it up
Speaker 3: against these, it's like not happening now.
Speaker 2: Forward, you open up a sweet and sour and you
Speaker 2: dip that cheeseburger in there, you got you got a
Speaker 2: little bit of a more of a.
Speaker 3: You know what I think? Moving forward, when we're all
Speaker 3: in studio because of the alliteration Taste test Tuesdays. Matt,
Speaker 3: it's Thursday. I know, I know it's Thursday, but taste
Speaker 3: tests Thursday doesn't quite roll up the tongue like taste
Speaker 3: tests today.
Speaker 2: I'm not if we have to have the sea Dog
Speaker 2: from Wienerstance and I'm eating on a Friday. It's lent
Speaker 2: So maybe maybe.
Speaker 3: We got plenty to get to, I think, and we
Speaker 3: can get recommendations through the textoso of things we gotta
Speaker 3: try that people want to answer.
Speaker 2: Ready to get to. We haven't done this in ten years.
Speaker 3: Now We're gonna do it, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Hey, write a parody song when when.
Speaker 3: We're all in the studio together on Tuesdays, taste test Tuesdays. Right,

Speaker 6: Live from Spring Training.
Speaker 1: Problem Petros Papadakis, that Money Spire, This is Petro, Send
Speaker 1: money on demand, Petro.
Speaker 3: Some Money and five seventy eight Sports Live everywhere on
Speaker 3: the iHeartRadio app seven o'clock ton ip we will have
Speaker 3: Spring Training Dodger Talk, but as is custom, a preview
Speaker 3: of what's to come between seven and eight right here
Speaker 3: on your Dodger Station.
Speaker 2: Davidsse Live from Spring Training, the Home of the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: off with an inside look at the Dodgers. This is
Speaker 2: the Vasse Report with David Vasse. David Vasse our guest,
Speaker 2: our hero live covering spring training handling his business. Dodger
Speaker 2: Talk tonight. I'm going with the Will Smith even though
Speaker 2: it's just a meme of Will Smith. I don't think
Speaker 2: we'll want to believe he is joining him. But World
Speaker 2: Baseball Classics going on, but so is the Dodgers camp.
Speaker 2: How's it going, Dave, It's going great.
Speaker 7: We were talking about Goodyear yesterday and that's where the
Speaker 7: Dodgers were back today. They lost fourteen to thirteen to
Speaker 7: the Reds. But the only guy that's going to be
Speaker 7: in the starting lineup where was in the starting lineup
Speaker 7: in last year's World Series was Max Muncy and good Year,
Speaker 7: And I guess you could stretch it to Alex call
Speaker 7: So guys like Freddie Mookie, Kyle Tucker, they didn't go
Speaker 7: to Goodyear today.
Speaker 2: What about Espinal? Santiago Espinal, big day for him in
Speaker 2: good Year and now he might make the team. Dave,
Speaker 2: give us the skinning.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I started to get indications about two
Speaker 7: weeks ago that Santiago Espinal had an excellent chance of
Speaker 7: making the team with Keith a Hernandez and Tommy Edmonds
Speaker 7: starting the year on the injured list, and it's not
Speaker 7: so much about second base. I know, you know, broadcasters
Speaker 7: are referring to second base, but it's mostly about third
Speaker 7: base and spelling Max Munsey against teams that have tough lefties,
Speaker 7: and maybe even an insurance policy if something pops up
Speaker 7: where months he needs a break. Second base is in
Speaker 7: play like it was today, But the strategy of the
Speaker 7: Dodgers is mostly to have Espinal on the roster for
Speaker 7: his defense said third base, and you know, maybe catch
Speaker 7: lightning in a ball as far as the offense goes
Speaker 7: so far in spring training. But yeah, he's going to
Speaker 7: make I feel very confident in saying that he is
Speaker 7: going to make the opening day roster, considering uh, key
Speaker 7: k and Edmund not going to be on there, and
Speaker 7: for the reasons that I just mentioned. Do I think
Speaker 7: he's gonna hit two home runs and drive in six
Speaker 7: runs and hit five hundred. No, but he's going to
Speaker 7: be a really good fit to the Dodgers bench, which
Speaker 7: at the end of last year was problematic.
Speaker 3: Is the first place we didn't expect him to have
Speaker 3: two home runs, But Dave, what about the other uh,
Speaker 3: what about the other candidates for that spot? You mentioned
Speaker 3: what the end of the bench looked like last year.
Speaker 3: Guys like Rhurt Vett and Call. Uh, what do you
Speaker 3: suspect it'll look like, especially in the absence of the
Speaker 3: guys you just mentioned to start the season.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so Alex call will be on that bench, Dalton
Speaker 7: Rushing is the backup catcher, and Santa th Iago Espanov
Speaker 7: will be part of it, leaving one spot available, and
Speaker 7: that's going to be either has Sung Kim or Alex Freeland.
Speaker 7: And I know Kim is left for the World Baseball Classic,
Speaker 7: and Freeland's had a decent spring training. He's been more mature,
Speaker 7: more professional about his at bats and just the way
Speaker 7: he's carrying himself this spring. But I still believe because
Speaker 7: Freeland has options, and the way Kim impressed in the
Speaker 7: first three weeks of spring training on the backfields and
Speaker 7: in games, and with him being able to play the
Speaker 7: outfield whenever needed, that gives him the edge to win
Speaker 7: that spot. And I haven't seen who's replacing Zach Gallon
Speaker 7: as the Diamondbacks opening day starter, but I would venture
Speaker 7: to say there's a very good chance it's either Miguel
Speaker 7: Rojas or Hay Sung Kim starting at second base on
Speaker 7: March twenty sixth, at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm paying pretty close attention to all
Speaker 3: the games, Dave, and I don't feel like can you
Speaker 3: mentioned it again today? They didn't even make the trip
Speaker 3: that I'm seeing a lot of Freddy Freeman or Mookie
Speaker 3: bats now. Maybe you know last year with the early
Speaker 3: travel internationally in the year before that, I was used
Speaker 3: to seeing them because they were getting ready for those
Speaker 3: early regular season games played in international and international waters.
Speaker 3: But what is happening right now? Why aren't we seeing
Speaker 3: them as much? Is that stranger? Is that how it
Speaker 3: usually is?
Speaker 7: No, I feel like, for everything that you just mentioned,
Speaker 7: coupled with the fact these guys have played more games
Speaker 7: than any players in baseball the last three years, the
Speaker 7: Dodgers have the luxury of not rushing them into the season.
Speaker 7: Mookie was the last position player to show up. He
Speaker 7: came into camp with a great mindset physically mentally in
Speaker 7: a great spot that I haven't seen them since twenty twenty,
Speaker 7: and the Dodgers have mapped out number of ad bats
Speaker 7: for their players because it's six weeks of games and
Speaker 7: preparation the week before the game start. So with none
Speaker 7: of these guys going to the World Baseball Classic or
Speaker 7: having to rush to go to Tokyo or South Korea.
Speaker 7: It allows them to spread out those at bats and
Speaker 7: then ramp up as you get closer to the Freeway Series.
Speaker 7: So you're starting to see those guys play back to
Speaker 7: back games and staying in the game longer, but you're
Speaker 7: not seeing them rushed to their forty seven or fifty
Speaker 7: at bats this spring.
Speaker 2: Dave Walker Buehler was out there for the Padres. Did
Speaker 2: you monitor that?
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 7: I know, it's hard to see Petros. It's hard to
Speaker 7: see Walker Buehler in that uniform. It's one thing to
Speaker 7: see him on the East Coast in Florida and Boston,
Speaker 7: then you see him in Philadelphia, never get into a
Speaker 7: game in the NLDS, and here he is having to
Speaker 7: earn a spot on the Padres roster and he's going
Speaker 7: to They're very thin, and if they can get any
Speaker 7: semblance of the Walker Buehler we saw before he injured
Speaker 7: his elbow, they're going to have a really good picture
Speaker 7: on their hands. And interesting enough, he spoke to reporters
Speaker 7: after his start today. Here's what he had to say
Speaker 7: about where he's at this spring and help wise, where
Speaker 7: he is now that he hasn't been since he came
Speaker 7: back from Tommy John surgery.
Speaker 8: I going to get some rhythm back in the delivery,
Speaker 8: I think in years past, you know, I just was
Speaker 8: kind of stuck in this rehabvish throw and have had
Speaker 8: a really tough time getting out of it and had
Speaker 8: a really good offseason, you know, have had a really
Speaker 8: good spring training in terms of kind of talking through
Speaker 8: the delivery and getting my arm back up to the
Speaker 8: height that I want it to be. In terms of
Speaker 8: arm angle, I think I've been down about eight or
Speaker 8: ten degrees for the past two or three years from
Speaker 8: where I was when I was really good. And you know,
Speaker 8: I don't think you can force that kind of stuff.
Speaker 8: I think the delivery has to do it. And I
Speaker 8: feel good with where that all is right now. So
Speaker 8: now we're kind of refining and hoping to get a
Speaker 8: few miles an hour out of it, But other than that,
Speaker 8: I feel pretty good.
Speaker 7: That was from ninety seven point read the Fan the
Speaker 7: Padres Flagship Station and can you believe Bueler said his
Speaker 7: elbow all of a sudden stopped hurting him four weeks ago,
Speaker 7: so it's been bothering him ever since. He came back
Speaker 7: and all of a sudden he was saying he took
Speaker 7: supplements or was doing a different workout, and it just
Speaker 7: stopped hurting four weeks ago, which is hard to believe
Speaker 7: that he's been out pitching and doing all these things,
Speaker 7: winning a World Series in Game five for the Dodgers
Speaker 7: with his elbow still barking.
Speaker 3: We speaking of most Padres day, we saw a combined
Speaker 3: twenty seven twenty yeah, twenty seven runs between the Reds
Speaker 3: and Dodgers. The Padres scored twenty seven runs on their
Speaker 3: own in that game that Walker Bueller threw and against
Speaker 3: the Mariners. Can you recall the most runs ever scored
Speaker 3: by a team in a spring training game that you
Speaker 3: were in attendance?
Speaker 7: I feel like I have seen a twenty spot and
Speaker 7: I feel like at some point you got to roll
Speaker 7: the game. Right at eighth inning, the minor league guys
Speaker 7: are in there. Do fans really want to stay for that?
Speaker 7: Are they staying at the Peoria Sports Complex for that?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I feel like if there's seven any double headers, it's
Speaker 7: got to be a mercy role right at some point?
Speaker 2: Is Justin Turner on a team, Dave.
Speaker 7: He's not he is not. Yeah, he was hoping to
Speaker 7: down with the team. I don't know if it is
Speaker 7: or not, Petros, but sometimes the game does retire you.
Speaker 7: He made it very clear at his golf tournament back
Speaker 7: in November he had every intention of playing this year,
Speaker 7: but for whatever reason, it hasn't lined up with the team,
Speaker 7: and he's posting on his Instagram that he's working in
Speaker 7: the batting cage, still just waiting for that call. He
Speaker 7: hasn't made any sort of official announcement that he's retiring,
Speaker 7: so you know, maybe somebody gets hurt on a team
Speaker 7: and they need Justin Turner to come into camp. But yeah,
Speaker 7: he did not get a non roster invite like Walker Buehler,
Speaker 7: like Chris Taylor, and no team has brought him into camp.
Speaker 7: And he's forty years old. There's not any forty year
Speaker 7: old position players that I can think of right now
Speaker 7: that are going to be playing next year.
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
Speaker 7: I don't know where it's going for him, but he's
Speaker 7: had a great career either way. He just loves the game,
Speaker 7: and I hope he stays in the game because he
Speaker 7: has a lot to offer. You know, when he was
Speaker 7: a Dodger, everybody was talking about post playing career managing.
Speaker 7: I don't think that should change just because he's been
Speaker 7: removed from the Dodgers for the last few years.
Speaker 3: Should be playing for the team USA and WBC. You know,
Speaker 3: put up a big couple of big hits. The next thing,
Speaker 3: you know, somebody's.
Speaker 7: Going with.
Speaker 2: Years old dude.
Speaker 3: But what about speaking of that, Dave, since you had
Speaker 3: the Reds today, why you mentioned the dr yesterday that
Speaker 3: it's kind of Japan, the US and Dominican Republic as
Speaker 3: the three real contenders for this thing. Do you know
Speaker 3: why Ellie de la Cruz isn't on the Dominican Republic team?
Speaker 3: What's going on there?
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was his choice, I believe, to stay back.
Speaker 7: I think he wanted to focus on the Reds this
Speaker 7: year and he passed on it. And maybe there was
Speaker 7: a position logjam. You know, a lot of these guys,
Speaker 7: it's an ego thing. I'm better than that guy. And
Speaker 7: you know, there have been instances where guys have said,
Speaker 7: you know what, I'm not moving or coming off the
Speaker 7: bench for the World Baseball Classic. I should be the starter.
Speaker 7: So a lot of those factors play into it. And
Speaker 7: Ellie hit a monster shot off Cole Irvin today, by
Speaker 7: the way, and he turned down a three hundred plus
Speaker 7: million dollar contract extension by the Reds this offseason. He
Speaker 7: also is represented by Scott Bors, so he certainly will
Speaker 7: be checking in on free agency when he's eligible in
Speaker 7: a couple of years.
Speaker 2: You got a problem with the gritty dance that Ellie
Speaker 2: da La Cruz did headed toward third base after that, Jack.
Speaker 7: Not if he's in a Dodger uniform.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: So the prospect of him being in a Dodger uniform
Speaker 3: leads you to not being offended when he did it
Speaker 3: in a Reds uniform. Is that work to understand?
Speaker 7: Dave, Yeah, there's that potential. I mean, he's made it
Speaker 7: clear that he loves La even though g you know,
Speaker 7: his first year here he said he was LA's his city,
Speaker 7: even though he was never born here or lived here.
Speaker 7: But he loves LA. So I don't know, he's such
Speaker 7: a He's one of those stars that belongs in a
Speaker 7: big market, whether it's La, New York, Chicago, Boston. He's
Speaker 7: buried like Otani was buried in Anaheim, and he's buried
Speaker 7: in Cincinnati. He deserves and baseball would be better if
Speaker 7: he was on, you know, a team that was going
Speaker 7: to the postseason and had a chance. And I hope
Speaker 7: the Reds give him that chance because the Reds are
Speaker 7: a really good baseball town. But you know, outside of
Speaker 7: them sneaking into the Wildcard game, they haven't consistently done it.
Speaker 7: But I just would love to see a guy like
Speaker 7: Ellie who every kid thirteen and younger love. I would
Speaker 7: love to see him in the postseason and on a
Speaker 7: on a real contender every year.
Speaker 2: Here's Elie, Dana Cruz. What is it about playing this
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers team for you?
Speaker 3: That's my city, this is my sitter. Yeah, I said,
Speaker 3: I say that shot, LA. That's my city.
Speaker 9: That's my city though, and I like playing against I
Speaker 9: love playing in LA.
Speaker 3: How do you feel that this is your city?
Speaker 9: I mean, my friends time en joys what's here in LA.
Speaker 9: And also I play a lot of JTA when I
Speaker 9: was a little.
Speaker 2: Kid, and I like this city. And that's what I say.
Speaker 3: There you go good enough for me?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 7: Well, you Grand Theft Auto. He was racing the streets.
Speaker 3: Of l A on the video games. We appreciate you
Speaker 3: impressive version of LA and that Grand Theft Auto you know.
Speaker 7: Around a big guest starting to show tonight at seven o'clock.
Speaker 2: You know, is it Will Smith.
Speaker 7: We'll see what we'll see what materializes.
Speaker 3: No, no, I said a big guest, I said, a
Speaker 3: big guest, Thank you, Davel. No, she's not. She's gonna
Speaker 3: tell his wife. I wonder his last name is Zilla.
Speaker 3: That'll be on the show tonight. He is big. I
Speaker 3: mean he's hurt.
Speaker 5: He'll still check in with Dave Dog.
Speaker 2: If he's slow to come back though, he's scared to
Speaker 2: show his face like punts of tawny Phil.
Speaker 3: That's right now.
Speaker 2: I am if I want you to I am if
Speaker 2: you want me to be done. All right, more reaction. Well, actually,
Speaker 2: there is a very unfortunate story out there. Stay out
Speaker 2: of the wind, kids. We'll be right back on a
Speaker 2: Crunchy group Thursday on AMPI seventy l A Sports.

Speaker 2: He had like a whole burger rack.
Speaker 3: The cheeseburger, the quarter pounder with cheese, the big Mac,
Speaker 3: the big Art.
Speaker 2: There have been some people that have said, of course,
Speaker 2: no one's ever happy, But there were some people that said,
Speaker 2: why didn't you do a double cheese?
Speaker 3: That's a fair question. Come on, Matt, Sorry, I just figured,
Speaker 3: you know, what are the three main burgers at McDonald's.
Speaker 2: Why did you do it?
Speaker 4: Matt?
Speaker 3: Do you think I got that wrong? Is it not?
Speaker 3: The cheeseburger, quarter pound of cheese and big met I
Speaker 3: think you got it wrong.
Speaker 5: We had a couple extra of the archburgers. Ronnie had
Speaker 5: one of them.
Speaker 2: Ronnie has not eaten it yet.
Speaker 5: Corrections or attractions.
Speaker 2: He just petrust that thing during the break.
Speaker 3: Dude.

Speaker 4: and a half bikes to finish it.

Speaker 5: Three and a half Petros.
Speaker 3: And that ceo about thirty five bikes still be.
Speaker 2: Eating and did Brian Blackmore at the Other One. Food

Speaker 3: The one Dicky did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard that he did wark report black Mark,
Speaker 2: and I also heard.
Speaker 3: That he didn't really care for it. Yeah he didn't
Speaker 3: love me. You didn't love it.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I ask you didn't love I'm loving
Speaker 2: it and I'm growing like a rooster. I I liked it.
Speaker 2: I thought it was good. Little species spies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me walk in like a rooster.
Speaker 2: Me, Matt, this is a terrible story. Now, I would
Speaker 2: say this, of these long form stories that come out,
Speaker 2: I you know, how much patience do we have for them.
Speaker 2: There's a few that I've read over the years. Number
Speaker 2: one story, no, like you know, like these big esp
Speaker 2: I remember the the Ranaiah tuiasa Sopo story about you know,
Speaker 2: the Guyney Kakua.
Speaker 3: That one I read, This one is that long who
Speaker 3: was our guy at Yahoo McDonald make the guy that
Speaker 3: would do all those Yahoo stories about Reggie Bush and
Speaker 3: we used to put him on.
Speaker 2: I remember, yeah, long form. This was a long form
Speaker 2: story that's been going on for months. Trouble in Bakersfield.
Speaker 2: Oh no, now I know what you're thinking, Tim. You
Speaker 2: just want to talk about that casino that they built
Speaker 2: right there off the ninety.
Speaker 5: Nine ns been there.
Speaker 2: The road Runners Bakersfield last place in the Big West Conference,
Speaker 2: in which sport basketball all of them actually, but yes
Speaker 2: men's basketball. Rod Barnes, the head coach, got an anonymous
Speaker 2: email tip alleging that his temporary assistant coach, Kevin was
Speaker 2: also working as a pimp, a pimp, a pimp, and
Speaker 2: a sex trafficker across four states.
Speaker 3: Well that's not good.
Speaker 2: Barnes forwarded the email to the proper authorities, which triggered
Speaker 2: an investigation and then criminal charges against the assistant coach.
Speaker 2: He was, in fact a pimp slash pimp. Not only
Speaker 2: was he a pimp allegedly, he faces eleven misdemeanor and
Speaker 2: felony charges like pimping ain't easy, possession of an automatic firearm,
Speaker 2: oh no, large amounts of meth and weed with a
Speaker 2: tent to sell. And child porn. Oh and child porn
Speaker 2: with a person as young as four. Oh God, Baker's
Speaker 2: Field May's who played at cal State Baco back in
Speaker 2: the day. For Rod Barnes pled not guilty. This has
Speaker 2: all led to devastation as you can imagine throughout the
Speaker 2: Bakersfield road Runner athletic department.
Speaker 3: Very proud athletic department coach.
Speaker 2: Barnes was there for fourteen years. He took the Roadrunners
Speaker 2: to the NIT once. He took them to the NCAA
Speaker 2: tournament once. The AD is now stepping down because this
Speaker 2: has all happened. This is a very ugly situation.
Speaker 3: How do you not know this guy was pimping in
Speaker 3: four states.
Speaker 2: It's even worse. There's a problem with the softball program.
Speaker 2: The head softball coach and an assistant named Davenport. They
Speaker 2: have been investigated and reported for sexually harassing their players
Speaker 2: and having sexual inappropriate sexual relationships with the players on
Speaker 2: the softball team. So I didn't hear anything about women's basketball, Matt,
Speaker 2: since you're worried about the distinctions between the sports.
Speaker 3: But he does feel softball men's basketball like there is
Speaker 3: a lack of institutional control in Bakersfield.
Speaker 2: Now the pimp coach is awaiting trial. Barnes is left
Speaker 2: in disgrace.
Speaker 3: Oh, he stepped down as well.
Speaker 2: He stepped down in the summer. He hadn't been there
Speaker 2: all year. This has been happening for months. In ESPN
Speaker 2: just put out an explosive, gigantic Bakersfield is a mess,
Speaker 2: long form story, but for those of you that.
Speaker 3: Are unfortunate for that fine city.
Speaker 2: San Joaquin Valley Times. Imagine how the car Brothers feel.
Speaker 2: Could have been a long form piece about how great
Speaker 2: the Car Brothers are, but instead those pistachios too. Terrible
Speaker 2: situation with softball and men's basketball and poor coach Barnes,
Speaker 2: who did the right thing and this guy did as
Speaker 2: a background check?
Speaker 3: Who ran the background check?
Speaker 2: The ad? Oh no, the ad as also It was
Speaker 2: step down, but a crazy situation. One of the wildest
Speaker 2: stories I've read, even wilder than the Genie Buss got
Speaker 2: rid of her whole family story, which was the last
Speaker 2: long form.
Speaker 3: Story I read. Hey, you shouldn't have been born. My
Speaker 3: parents had a deal. Listen.
Speaker 2: I talked to Carolyn was her name. I talked to
Speaker 2: my mother, Yea, and she said that she had a
Speaker 2: deal with doctor Buss and you should have never been born.
Speaker 3: He could do his horn, but he couldn't produce any offspring.
Speaker 3: You should not have been born, Jesse, seems a little harsh.
Speaker 3: Here's a few billion dollars to forget about it. I'll
Speaker 3: take it, but remember, you shouldn't exist. Look at your hand.
Speaker 3: It should be disappearing. Earth Angel earth Angel.
Speaker 2: So if you want to be horrified, check out that
Speaker 2: Bakersfield's story. It sounds, i mean, without the child porn
Speaker 2: part is the very I mean, pimping's bad too, but
Speaker 2: it sounds and sex trafficking.
Speaker 3: We don't like it.
Speaker 2: But it sounds a lot we don't like when you
Speaker 2: cross state lines. Pimping. We got a problem with that petrock.
Speaker 2: Somebody show doesn't like that. And now you get into wirefraud.
Speaker 2: But here we don't like it. You know, we're not
Speaker 2: talking about a good cop. We're talking about a dirty cop,
Speaker 2: cop that evolved, got involved in the rackets. The point is,
Speaker 2: it did sound a lot like nineteen nineties athletic department
Speaker 2: life to me until I ran into the kiddie point. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's all I'm trying to say. We shall return with
Speaker 2: more petros and money. We will have these.
Speaker 3: And every team's got a recruiting coordinator that's a pimp.
Speaker 3: It's just the way the world works these days. It's
Speaker 3: nineteen nine.
Speaker 2: Coach gives you a lot of money to take the
Speaker 2: black guys to the Black Strip Club the Barbary Coast
Speaker 2: down in the Crenshawe district. That's one thing Coach is
Speaker 2: running a multi state pimping operation, has math with intent
Speaker 2: to sell automatic weapons, automatic weapons and child porn. Coach
Speaker 2: might be a bad guy. The coach that sends you
Speaker 2: to the black club just tried his best to relate.
Speaker 3: To the players. Wants the kids to have a good time.
Speaker 2: Wants to sign that recruit. Stay up, everybody will be
Speaker 2: right back on this crunchy groove. In Thursday, it's the
Speaker 2: Petros and Money Show on a five seventy LA Sports
Speaker 2: hang in their Roadrunners
