00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,280

Speaker 3: tell the real story, Matt.

36
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: You know, sometimes your brother marries a hot lady and

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: the hot lady likes the the younger or the older

38
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: brother and not the husband, and weird things happen because

39
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: you're around each other a lot.

40
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: That's a good thing, right, No, it's.

41
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: Not a good thing. And next thing you know, you're

42
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: banging your sister a law in the AMLBPA offices, like

43
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: because you gave her.

44
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 3: We have we have some sound from Clark walking in

45
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: on on a Tuesday.

46
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 5: Don't hump people at the jam, don't don't hunt people

47
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 5: at the jam. Don't hump people at church. Don't hunt

48
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 5: people in your neighborhood. Hey, don't hunt your friends spouses. Okay, guys,

49
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 5: we always use hump Day as a midweek reminder to

50
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 5: keep it clean.

51
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 3: Okay, it's not Wednesday, but I think that a day

52
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: early on a two ed of mono Tuesday appropriate with

53
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: Tony Clark hooking up with.

54
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 6: His right what day is it? It is freaking hump Day.

55
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 6: Hump Day is the day that we think about what

56
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 6: we're doing in our life, think about choices we're making.

57
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 6: And I'm not talking about big like life altern choices.

58
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 6: I'm talking about the little, tiny choices, the daily choices

59
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 6: that turn into big life alterned choices. So when we

60
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 6: talk about hump Day, we talk about that you should

61
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 6: only be humping your person. Okay, you should only be

62
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 6: humping the person that you are in a life commit

63
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 6: relationship with.

64
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 5: Don't hump people at the gym.

65
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 2: Don't It is funny that she, uh, you know, now

66
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 2: that we know a little bit more in the last

67
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: few years about soaking and jump humpers, that she does

68
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: choose to use the verb hump as youth is a

69
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: for efen Well on hump Day. So you think it's

70
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: just a product of it being Wednesday. And she said

71
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: hump day as opposed to there being.

72
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: Jump humpers or do you think hump is like is

73
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: like the Mormon Utah's word for intercourse.

74
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: That's what I'm thinking. It's the euphem misery.

75
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: Oh you know what, Let's listen to the first one

76
00:03:59,000 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: all the way through.

77
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 5: Don't hump people at the gym, don't hump people at church,

78
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 5: don't have people in your neighborhood. Okay, don't hump your

79
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 5: friend's spouses.

80
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: Okay, you guys.

81
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 5: We always use hump Day as a midweek reminder to

82
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 5: keep it clean, okay, for lots of reasons. Number one,

83
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 5: you got to look at that person in the mirror

84
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 5: every day and go, you know what, you're a good person.

85
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 5: Way to go girl, Way to keep it clean. Also

86
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 5: because we don't want anything crawling on us down there.

87
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 5: That's very scary. And then have a little bit of

88
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 5: fear of Hell. Okay, maybe God, maybe he might be

89
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 5: mad at yet keep it clean today people. And then

90
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 5: I don't because I also really like Mike. I mean,

91
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 5: he's my dude, he's my guy. He's the one that

92
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 5: I chose to be with forever. So I'm just not

93
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 5: going to do that to him, because I think he's

94
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 5: pretty awesome, even though he's sometimes.

95
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 3: I like Mike Puzzo. So that's what happened. Look, even

96
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: though you're in charge of the Baseball Players Union, even

97
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: though you have a lot of responsibility, that doesn't your

98
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: sister and lost haunches around the office can't get you excited,

99
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: And next thing you know, you're in.

100
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: At the office here at the MLBPA.

101
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 3: I just slipped and fell and found myself in them

102
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 3: haunches entranched in the haunch. All right, Matt, it happens

103
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 3: terrible rainstorm here in La that you're missing. It's nice today,

104
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: but it's supposed to rain like a hell again tonight.

105
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: His words, The word of the day. Today's word of

106
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 3: the day is wamo, Matt. The floods are really having

107
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 3: their way with the wamos. The recent floods in Los

108
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 3: Angeles made a pair of waymos wear it on melrose

109
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 3: Onlookers captured videos self driving cars stuck horribly in flood

110
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 3: waters yesterday as heavy rains dell used the city. Wasn't

111
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 3: clear if there were passengers stuck inside the vehicles or

112
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: if they eventually made their way out and waited their

113
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,559
Speaker 3: way to the sidewalk. One of the cars was seen

114
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: with his caution lights on as it sat near the

115
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 3: Internet section of Melrose and will Cox.

116
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: It's just not moving. This is they don't know what

117
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: to do.

118
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: This, yeah, I mean yeah, you know, like they tell

119
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: people like, if you think it's kind of deep, don't

120
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: drive up in there. And I mean, if you're a

121
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: person and you can't make that decision, how the waymos

122
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 3: supposed to make the decision? Or the Filipino guy on

123
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 3: the joystick all the way back in Manila, which you uncovered.

124
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 3: That's an unbelievable uncovering that you pulled out last week.

125
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: And that's that's truly. That was really the kind of

126
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 3: the straw that stirred it for me was to think, like, okay,

127
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: because I told the guys that on two pros and

128
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 3: a cup of Joe, because they had a weimo experience

129
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 3: in San Francisco when they were in the Super Bowl together.

130
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 3: Oh really yeah, all three of those idiots, Jonas, LeVar

131
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 3: and Brady and I said in the air yesterday, I

132
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: mean LaVar and Brady are I mean, LaVar is huge,

133
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: Brady's big. Brady's a really big guy, and Jonas isn't small.

134
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 3: He just you know, dressed like Dracula. And I guess

135
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: Jonas got really lippy with the Waimo and tried to

136
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: start a fight with its AI voice.

137
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: Well that's probably not good.

138
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 3: Well that's what happened. But anyway, they got through that.

139
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 3: But I was able to tell them because of your story.

140
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 3: I said, well, guess what Matt Smith revealed this yesterday.

141
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: There's a guy in the Philippines and a joystick that

142
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 3: didn't appreciate very much what drack Jonas Knox was saying

143
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 3: to him behind the behind the passenger seat or wherever

144
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: he was in that Weimo. But the rain has caused

145
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: a lot of waymos. There's more weaymos stuck in the

146
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: Wilshire Boulevard yesterday. And Weimo previously touted its weather capabilities,

147
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: telling somebody last month that they closely monitor the conditions

148
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: of weather and cities where it operates, and they adjust

149
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: their operations accordingly. Well, welcome to La when it rains

150
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 3: a whole bunch Weimo you are, sl.

151
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: So Kfi posted on their social media last night. Guys

152
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: Lebray and Olympic for weamos blocking lanes yesterday during the

153
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 2: day because of flooding.

154
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: Feels like the weymos can't handle the rain. We are idiot.

155
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 3: LA drivers handle the rain a lot better than those weaymos.

156
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: Huh yeah, what a shock.

157
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 2: And our public and the public perception of our ability

158
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: to navigate in the rain is not good. But guess what.

159
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 2: The robots really suck all right.

160
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 3: And one of those food delivery things sunk too in

161
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 3: West Hollywood trying to deliver food to somebody. So the

162
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: rain is really kicking people's ass out there. And just

163
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: remember that a person behind the wheel is probably better

164
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: than a waimo. In the city of Los Angeles, I

165
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 3: think we're coming to that conclusion as the weeks right. Well, yeah,

166
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 3: because what happens when there's unrest downtown in that one

167
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: block where everybody gets mad they go burn the weaymos.

168
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 3: What happens when it rains, the waymos drown? What happens

169
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: in Santa Monica, the waymos beep all night and drive

170
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 3: people crazier than they already are out there.

171
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 2: I feel like it's in that negative, That's.

172
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: What I'm saying, Matt. When is there been out now

173
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 3: somebody did point out the other day that you know,

174
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 3: we're not women, and of course we all have women

175
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 3: in our families, are very close to us. But creepy

176
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: driver is a thing, and sometimes ladies would rather just

177
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: be in a car yeah and sink and die in

178
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 3: Awaymo than be in a car with a creepy Armenian game.

179
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 3: Fair point, I mean, doesn't have to be Armenia. But

180
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: you you know what I'm saying.

181
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 2: I do know exactly what you're a know it very well.

182
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. So so still though, Matt, it could be in

183
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 3: that negative, especially in the La Rain. It's certainly a

184
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 3: bad situation with these Weymoult cars. I don't know what's

185
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 3: next with the Weaymos, but the latest is that they're

186
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 3: drowning in the.

187
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: Streets, troading in the streets. Number of the day, number

188
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 2: of the day is, let's see eighteen fifteen, five hundred thousand,

189
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand. Those are the wind totals and the

190
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: fines from the Utah Jazz and the Indiana Pacers.

191
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 3: Are we talking about We're talking about some basketball aggression.

192
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: Matt talking about. No, no basketball aggressions. We're talking about

193
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 2: basketball tanking is what we are talking about.

194
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: When when my team won't win a game. You know

195
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 3: what I always say at the end of the year,

196
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 3: tanks for nothing.

197
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: And that is something that the Jazz and Pacers have

198
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 2: done to an extent that Adamson found it necessary to

199
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: find them a considerable sum of money for what he

200
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 2: believed was the practice of not playing healthy players and

201
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: an effort to lose more games and increase the chances

202
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: that they will be in position to draft Cam Boozer

203
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: or Debansta or one of these standout players. And what

204
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: is expected to be a hell of a draft, like

205
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: a three player draft, the kid from Kansas, the Bansta

206
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 2: from Deep Byu, and cam Boozer from Duke. And that

207
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 2: is why they expect it to get worse. And so

208
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: consider this the first salvo fired by Silver in an

209
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 2: effort to let the teams know a financial penalties and

210
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 2: maybe even be draft pick penalties if you are not competitive. Well.

211
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: Mark Cuban never want to hold his tongue. He is

212
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 2: still an owner of the Mavericks. He's not the majority owner,

213
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: but like Genie Buss, he still has a percentage. After

214
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 2: selling to the Vegas Folk. Folks decided to take to

215
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: his Twitter page to push back against the NBA, pointing

216
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 2: out that tanking is a necessity, that as someone who

217
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 2: decided to tank back in the prior to the draft

218
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: in which they netted Luka Doncic, it was done with

219
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 2: the intent of trying to get a high enough pick

220
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: to make a run at Trey Young or Luca or

221
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 2: one of these top these topics in that draft, and

222
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: that's the only way you'll dig out of not being

223
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 2: a competitive basketball team. The problem with the position that

224
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: he takes, and it's, you know, one of those I'm

225
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna write on a one thousand word tweet and

226
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: you're all going to consume it, is that he essentially

227
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: makes the point that Adam Silver is making and why

228
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 2: tanking is such a problem because you are artificially trying

229
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: to You are deliberately and artificially lowering the status of

230
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: your team to suggest that you are earning one of

231
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: those three or four top picks because your team is

232
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: so bad. The idea of the lottery is you draft

233
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: a great player and now you're back in the mix.

234
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,599
Speaker 2: And parody is great for the sport, but it's artificial,

235
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: it is intentional. You're not the third worst team in

236
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: the league because you're the third worst team. You're the

237
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 2: third worst team because you decided to sit a bunch

238
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 2: of guys when you would have been the seventh or

239
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 2: eighth worst team had you just played everybody. So moving forward,

240
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: because people come to me for these sort of answers.

241
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 3: I certainly do. I want to know what they're really

242
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 3: thinking about when they're tanking.

243
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 2: Can we can we tank it for nothing? Can we

244
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: can we just flatten? As they like to say the

245
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: lottery odds. See, you don't get a fourteen percent chance

246
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 2: of the number one pick if you have the first, second,

247
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 2: or third worst record, and it drops to eight percent,

248
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: and then four percent and then one percent. How about

249
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 2: all the teams that don't make the playoffs, and I

250
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 2: mean even the play in teams. The eighteen worst teams

251
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 2: have the exact same opportunity at the number one pick

252
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: as any other team. I assume that would be a

253
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: very quick fix to tanking. If you, you and the

254
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 2: other eighteen teams have a one in eighteen chance of

255
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 2: landing the number one pick, the problem solved all as well.

256
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: Draw the entire eighteen picks, first one through eighteen. Pull

257
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: them all for all eighteen teams and then we will

258
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: have a much more competitive NBA. Did that make any

259
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: sense or did I feel like this sounded a lot

260
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: better when I was kind of hammering out the details

261
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 2: of this then it did.

262
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: Well, you know, Matt, You know you can ask Phil

263
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 3: Collins or any of those guys that have been on

264
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 3: a world tour. It is not easy, you know what

265
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 3: tour on the world tour.

266
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: But I think you have the time to think about

267
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: these things. You know, you're a loon in the subway,

268
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: you're alone in the car. You got a four hours

269
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: you know.

270
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 3: I don't know how the NBA is going to figure

271
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: out they're tanking for for tanking for Nootson tanks for

272
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,239
Speaker 3: nothing stuff.

273
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 6: And in other news, all right, you guys, what is

274
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 6: it is freaking hump Day?

275
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 3: Now this text, Matt says, And this is a great question.

276
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 3: So in Utah, does hump day just mean sex day

277
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 3: and have nothing to do with it being in the

278
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 3: middle of the week. Can a lifelong committed couple have

279
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: multiple hump days?

280
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 6: All right, you guys, what day is it? It is

281
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 6: freaking hunt day?

282
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, go hump your special person. Just only hump only

283
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: your special person.

284
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 3: Because if you hump someone else you're going to hell

285
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 3: or you're getting a disease.

286
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone's going to crawl around down there.

287
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: No, Matt, I understood that completely. Tanking is a bad look.

288
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 3: But everybody does it when they're in that position.

289
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: So let's remove them from being able to do it

290
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: or being motivated to do it. Problem solved.

291
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 3: How do we block.

292
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 2: Block what.

293
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 3: They're sees from tanking? There's a tanking diaphragm.

294
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: Believe it's with a sponge.

295
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 3: You know, you don't hear about the sponge or the diaphragm, and.

296
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: You don't you just do you know what? And I

297
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: would say, I'd love to pretend like I'm that old

298
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: or or the girls that we were we were having

299
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: relations with were committed to that approach. I did not

300
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: have to deal with a sponge nor a diaphragm in

301
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 2: my day. It was simply.

302
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 3: That plastic might have just been way up there.

303
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 6: Right, That's what day is it? It is freaking hump day.

304
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 6: Hump Day is the day sponge about what we're doing

305
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 6: in our life. Think about choices we're making. And I'm

306
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 6: not talking about big, like life altering choices. I'm talking

307
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 6: about the little, tiny, choices, the daily choices that turn

308
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 6: into big life alterned choices. So when we talk about

309
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 6: home day, we talk about that you should only be

310
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 6: humping your person. Okay, you should only be humping the

311
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 6: person that you were in a life commit relationship with,

312
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 6: not people that you meet online, not neighbors, not other

364
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 3: training going on now, A lot of news to break,

365
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 3: a lot to cover. It is Bob Nightingale in Arizona

366
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 3: on your Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline on the

367
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 3: Petros and Money Show. What's cracking, Bob? How are you?

368
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 2: Yeah?

369
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:30,239
Speaker 3: Doing great? And we are We're concerned, Bob. You know

370
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 3: when there's no I know you're concerned because if there's

371
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 3: no baseball, what are you gonna write about? A bunch

372
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: of finance. That's annoying. But you know, when there's no baseball,

373
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 3: Matt and I got to do four hours a day

374
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 3: under the hot sun with our whole and our plow.

375
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a lot of radio to do if

376
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 3: there's no baseball season. We're concerned how bad is this

377
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 3: situation likely to be? And there's so much money to

378
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 3: be made, it's hard to imagine that these guys will

379
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: just sit out and not make it.

380
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 9: No, I mean, it could be like we had the

381
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 9: last time. It was a nine nine day lockout, and

382
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 9: uh spring springs spring trainings started late, but do not

383
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 9: miss any games, so I can see the same thing.

384
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 9: Just you may reduce spring training to a couple of

385
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 9: weeks and uh, you know, and start a little bit late.

386
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 9: But it's hard to see that it's gonna last. It'll

387
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 9: lasts more than a few months. Uh, you know, I

388
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 9: do think we'll get to the point. I think everyy's

389
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 9: you know, pretty much predicting, like, Okay, we're definitely having

390
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 9: a lockout, but how long will it last? And with

391
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 9: the money being made on both sides, that's why I

392
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 9: know one's really predicting, Like I can't see them wiping

393
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 9: out half a season or a full season.

394
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: I get.

395
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: You know.

396
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 2: The one thing we keep hearing is the term non starter.

397
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 2: A salary cap is a non starter for the players.

398
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 2: A without a salary cap as a non starter for

399
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 2: the owners, Like is are they really non starters? Is

400
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 2: there no middle ground? Is this is one side going

401
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 2: to have to acquiesce to the other.

402
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 9: Well, yeah, let's see who blinks first. And I'm sure

403
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 9: the you know, I'm sure the owners are you know,

404
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 9: MLB is going to say at least listen to us.

405
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 9: And they're big thing is say, if there's a salary cap,

406
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 9: you know, the players who make more money, Uh so

407
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 9: of the franchises have not gone up and by you

408
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 9: like the yetter sports. And I think that's where the

409
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 9: owners say, way, now, why are we the only sport

410
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 9: without one? And then the players are argue, of course

411
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 9: that hey, everyone's making tons of money. Now why a

412
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 9: buck the system? I mean, when you have a you know,

413
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 9: if you have a salary cap, you know you're not

414
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 9: gonna be giving you know, you can't give it Kyle

415
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 9: Tucker sixty million dollars a year or a you know,

416
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 9: one soda seven sixty five or a tanis seven hundred,

417
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 9: so you know, maybe they might mess around with the

418
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 9: fer money, say why now some of thefer money it's

419
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 9: after them, but still got to count towards your leisure techs.

420
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 3: Bob Nightingale is our guest. He is a great baseball

421
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 3: rider and a powerful base ball voice. I mean, for

422
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 3: fifteen years, Bob, I'm sure every single column you ever

423
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 3: wrote or newspiece or article regarding the players union and

424
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 3: stuff mentioned Tony Clark. I mean, this guy's been a

425
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 3: big voice for a long time. I know that there's

426
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 3: been some extracurriculars in the story, but ultimately, what is

427
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 3: not having Tony Clark around mean or not mean for

428
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 3: the future? Does it really affect things either way?

429
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 9: The the effects is that the owners and you know

430
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 9: MMB office like Tony Clark, their respect to him. They thought,

431
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 9: you know, you could reason with him. Where his leading negotiator,

432
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 9: you know, Bruce Meyer. They've had a really tough relationship

433
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 9: with him, and it's been them in the crossroads for

434
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 9: a long time. So now he'd have you know, he

435
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 9: may not have full authority. You know, we'll see, you know,

436
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 9: who gets the job. You know, they may leave Bruce

437
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 9: Meyer just as leading negotiator and hire promote someone from

438
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 9: within the office as to be the union chief least

439
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 9: an interim basis. But in my mind is you're still

440
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 9: going to have the principal player is involved, just without

441
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 9: Tony Clark, who you know, they enjoyed dealing with. They

442
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 9: just thought it was easier and they could deal with Tony,

443
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 9: you know, than it was with or is with Bruce.

444
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 2: Meyer, Bob Nightingale with us. You can follow him on

445
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: Twitter at b Nightingale. He does it for the USA Today.

446
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 2: That is where the article posted way early this morning

447
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 2: about the stepping down of Tony Clark or the resignation

448
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 2: of Tony Clark and what that might mean for baseball

449
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty seven. Twenty twenty six is upon us.

450
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 2: Does it feel severely tilted nationally for twenty twenty six? Bob?

451
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 2: It's not like the Dodgers had a walk in the

452
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 2: park and the World Series. I mean, you can make

453
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 2: a case that they probably should have lost that World

454
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 2: Series as opposed to the miraculous way they won it.

455
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 2: Does it feel like twenty twenty six is even more

456
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 2: in their favor or do you feel comfortable making a

457
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 2: case for a handful of these teams.

458
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean exactly right. I mean they could have

459
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 9: easily lost two years ago to the Podres when they're down,

460
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 9: you know, two games and one I had to do

461
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 9: a bullpen game. Freddie Freeman was in the lineup, you know,

462
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 9: came back when the next two uh, you know, they

463
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 9: were fortunate to get past the Philadelphia Phillies. Remember when

464
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,479
Speaker 9: the throwing air but a young pitcher and uh they

465
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 9: could have been having a game five uh in Philadelphia

466
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 9: or anything could have happened. Uh So yeah, I mean

467
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 9: anything can happen the postseason. But you know, as you

468
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 9: sit here, you say, okay, what what team for sure

469
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 9: is gonna win the division? You know, you got to

470
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 9: say that the Dodgers, I mean they're the one locked

471
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 9: to win the division, not lockdown, you know, win the

472
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 9: World Series. But you know it's a deep roster, it's

473
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 9: older roster. Uh made a lot of sense to them

474
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 9: to Sagan Tucker. You know, maybe not to sixty million

475
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 9: dollars a year, but in a sense where you know,

476
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,959
Speaker 9: get a young para, you know, legs in the outfield,

477
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 9: good solid hitter and his personality, you know, just laid back,

478
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,479
Speaker 9: you kind and it fits in you can let everybody

479
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 9: else you talk to me and things like.

480
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 2: That, Baba Tursa, just kind of the way the Dodgers

481
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 2: are built. We know the players have their talking points

482
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 2: from the union. They don't want a salary cap, so

483
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 2: they're gonna you know what Bryce Harp or what Manny

484
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 2: Machado said, this is great. We think the Dodgers are great.

485
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 2: We love that they're spending money. You mentioned you think

486
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 2: that the players could make more money perhaps if there

487
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: was a salary cap. Do you think the players, if

488
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 2: not given the talking points from the union, are okay

489
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 2: with what the Dodgers are doing. Do you think they're

490
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 2: not okay with what the not the owners, but I

491
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: mean straight players. Do you think they like the way

492
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 2: the Dodgers are operating?

493
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 9: I do? You know, It's like we talk to players,

494
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 9: ask many much how that's their day and in Mike's

495
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 9: troud and of course you know Bryce Harper talked about it.

496
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 9: But just the fact that they want their own their

497
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 9: owners to do the same thing. I mean, obviously a

498
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 9: too much of Milwaukee Brewers can't spill like the Dodgers.

499
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 9: They don't have those kind of resources, And you know,

500
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 9: the Dodgers have the big TV advantage, you know, get

501
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 9: about three hundred thirty million dollars a year where teams

502
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 9: are making about twenty five million dollars a year local TV.

503
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 9: But so yeah, I think the players anything else is

504
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 9: more jealous. You're like, oh, man, I wish I played

505
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 9: for a team like that that would spend that kind

506
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 9: of money and you know, spend one hundred and fifty

507
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 9: million dollars on lungture taxes and not blank because they're

508
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 9: making that kind of money. So you know where the

509
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 9: owners are saying, wave, man, Now our fans feel like

510
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 9: we don't have a chance. You know, we haven't had

511
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 9: a you can't see worlds back in twenty fifteen was

512
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 9: the last you know, bottom half a team in payroll

513
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 9: that won the World Series. But then you say, you

514
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 9: know what, why why the Milwaukee Brewers in the playoffs

515
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 9: every year? You know why was Tampa Bay? That's a

516
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 9: juggernut in the Al East. So if you have a

517
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 9: shirt front office, you can still you know, do things

518
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 9: like that. You know, the Dodgers only have their money.

519
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 9: They do have, you know, a brilliant front office and

520
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 9: do things right.

521
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 3: Bob Nightingale. Ladies and gentlemen, he's out there riding the rains.

522
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 3: You can check his column in the USA today. He's

523
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 3: in Arizona writing all about spring training and a day

524
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 3: that started with wow, I wonder what financial reason this

525
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 3: Tony Clark guy stepped down for uh, and then ended

526
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 3: with looks like the sister in law. So not easy

527
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 3: to be Bob Nightingale on a day like today, trying

528
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 3: to follow the news. Not easy at all. Yeah, I

529
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 3: mean I saw a picture of the wife. I'm still

530
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 3: trying to find the sister in law, the great. We're

531
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 3: reporters here, Bob.

532
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 9: I used to confuse it to you. I really did,

533
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 9: because they uh, you know, you know, their sisters and

534
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 9: so yeah, there were a lot of events together and

535
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 9: stuff like that. So yeah, I remember they used to,

536
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 9: you know, make fun of me, like, oh, you keep

537
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 9: getting this confused.

538
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 3: You know. Not the only one, Bob, Not the only one,

539

Speaker 3: lot of people wish they could play for the Dodgers.

00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 3: We all wish we were tall and strong and beloved

542
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,160

543

Speaker 3: about the nugget at the end, Matt, Yeah, I used.

549
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 2: To get him confused. They're sisters. They look just the same,

550
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 2: looks like.

551
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 3: Old white Beard. Got him confused too. Is that Tony

552
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 3: Clark's excuse? Like you know, but I was confused.

553
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,400

554
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:34,719

Speaker 3: And only David Verse. We have the MLBPA stuff that

574
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 3: we dealt with with the top story of the day

575
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 3: where we'll deal with. David. Vase is here with the

576
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,959
Speaker 3: latest on the Dodgers. Dave hitting the ground running at

577
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 3: camel Back Ranch yesterday, Spectrum Sportsnet and Dodger Talk with

578
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 3: Blake Trienten tonight. He's got Max Munci. So it is

579
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 3: David Vasse from Spectrum Sportsnet, LA MLB networking right here

580
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 3: on AMPI seventy LA Sports, the best reporter in the world. Dave,

581
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 3: how's it going and what's going on today out there? Now?

582
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 10: Everything is great, guys. Today was the first official full

583
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 10: squad workout for the Dodgers, and that means Dave Roberts

584
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 10: had the room with the entire Big League camp for

585
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 10: their morning meeting, and from what I was told, they

586
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 10: showed highlights of their World Series win over the Blue

587
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 10: Jays and also had newcomers Kyle Tucker and Edwin Diaz

588
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 10: step up in front of the crowd and say something

589
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 10: to their new teammates. So a good tone was set

590
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 10: by all accounts. So we're often running here at camel Back.

591
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 2: Dave just kind of give us an idea because we

592
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: asked you about it last week when Jeff Passing decided

593
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,239
Speaker 2: to write the article. Is there any just I'm not

594
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 2: saying players or anything like that, but do you feel

595
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 2: as though there is any I don't know, dark cloud,

596
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: if that's the right word or not. Or is there

597
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 2: any chatter about next year's CBA? Is that going to

598
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 2: haunt us all spring training?

599
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 10: Honestly, it's not even been talked about here at camel

600
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 10: Back Ranch. I mean, everybody's focused on the celebration of

601
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 10: the back to back champions. I mean there is four

602
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 10: or five deep fans here at Camelback Ranch since last Friday.

603
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 10: It just seems like it's talked about by people that

604
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 10: are not within these walls, unless the players asked about it.

605
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 10: And quite frankly, no player that I've been around has

606
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 10: been really asked about it. I asked Blake Trenon about

607
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 10: it when he was on Dodger Talk last night, and basically,

608
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 10: they don't really care. It's just seems like everybody that's

609
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 10: on the Dodgers is echoing what Manny Machado and Bryce

610
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 10: Harper had to say yesterday, that they're happy to be

611
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 10: on this side, and it's just trying to do the

612
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 10: best you can to win every year, and they're just

613
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 10: grateful that again, the Dodgers management doubled down on back

614
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 10: to back championships to go out and sign the best

615
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 10: available outfielder and the best available closer. So it's weird.

616
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 10: And before I got here, it seemed like that was

617
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 10: something that was talked about virtually every day in our stratosphere.

618
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 10: But once you's here, it's not really a thing.

619
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 2: Right on, Yeah, as it should be. Near the back

620
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: to back World Series champions we've seen it like each

621
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 2: of the last couple of years. Right two years ago,

622
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 2: Yamamoto Otanian spring training excitement through the roof last year,

623
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 2: they got Blake Snell, a lot of excitement around spring training.

624
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 2: Give us an idea of you know, kind of what

625
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 2: the arrival of Edwin and Kyle Tucker, what kind of

626
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 2: energy that's fed into this.

627
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,719
Speaker 10: Yeah, Kyle Tucker. I was talking to Chris Woodward today

628
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 10: and he was saying that when he managed for the

629
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 10: Rangers in series against the Astros. He said there was

630
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 10: one three game series that they played against the Astros,

631
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 10: and Tucker had a stamp on every single win in

632
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 10: a different way, whether it was thrown out a runner

633
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 10: from right field, whether it was getting a big hit

634
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 10: or hitting a home run. He's that type of player

635
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 10: and he believes that he's going to fit in perfectly,

636
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 10: and he has that even temper. I know there's been

637
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 10: a lot talked about, you know, his desire to play

638
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 10: the game of baseball or if he has that burning

639
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 10: passion inside of him, and Chris Woodward told me that

640
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 10: he just doesn't show it like other players do. And

641
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 10: you can make whatever you want out of a guy

642
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 10: that hasn't even keeled demeanor, but usually in baseball that's

643
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 10: a good thing. Not to get too high or get

644
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 10: too low. And he likened his demeanor to aready demens.

645
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 10: After his strikeout, he's not going to throw his bad

646
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 10: or throw his helmet, but he's gonna find a way

647
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 10: to be better the next time.

648
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 3: One and only David Vesse on your Southern California Toyota

649
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 3: Dealer Celebrity Hotline talking from Camelback Ranch on the Petros

650
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 3: and Money shown out today. I don't know how many

651
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 3: of these you've been through? Was the Dave Roberts inspirational

652
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 3: speech day to the team, which you know, if you're

653
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 3: a guy like Max Munsey, who you've got on tonight,

654
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 3: he's been there for a lot of these. How does

655
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 3: Dave spice this up? Dave, is there anything? Do you

656
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 3: sit in a locker hiding and to listen to this?

657
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 3: How is this whole thing play out a year in

658
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 3: and year out? Dave Roberts has been the manager of

659
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 3: the Dodgers an awful long time now.

660
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 10: Right, and he's had the same group of players for

661
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 10: the last four years or so. So I think he's

662
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 10: opened it up. Like I mentioned to other players to speak.

663
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 10: Not only did Tucker and Diaz, but Mookie Bett said

664
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 10: something and Miguel Roja said something on top of them,

665
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 10: showing you know, a highlight package of the World Series.

666
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 10: So I believe that's the way he works around having

667
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 10: his message fall on deaf year. See, let's the players

668
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 10: do the talking. So that's how he ran it today.

669
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 2: Andrew Freeman lets the gomer do the talking from time

670
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 2: to time, but he didn't meet with the media today.

671
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 2: Day the president of Baseball OPS kind of if you

672
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 2: can give us a summary or what you learned, if

673
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 2: there's anything you pulled out of that conversation.

674
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, the biggest thing for me I have not had

675
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,919
Speaker 10: a chance to talk to Andrew about just his feelings

676
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 10: about Yamamoto and Otani leaving camp to go play for

677
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 10: Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic, And today I

678
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 10: had the opportunity to ask him whether or not he's

679
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 10: had a conversation with Yamamoto and Otani to keep the

680
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 10: guardrails up even when they're playing Team Japan.

681
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 11: Not really, because I know them and I know that

682
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 11: once you know the first pitch and Samurai Japan against Taiwan,

683
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 11: I just know the level of intensity that they will have,

684
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 11: and so it's more just making sure the work up

685
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 11: to this point that we're putting them in the best

686
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,959
Speaker 11: positions to go take on that kind of intense atmosphere.

687
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 11: And then obviously the build up with Yoshinobu and where

688
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 11: he's at pitch count wise. What we're able to get

689
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 11: him to here will help inform a little bit of

690
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 11: you know, what that workload looks like. But so it's

691
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 11: more about just the work going in.

692
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 3: Uh.

693
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 11: It is impossible to tell those guys to dial it

694
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 11: back into any way, and nor would I do that.

695
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 11: We've talked to Samurai Japan, We've talked to Show. Hey,

696
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 11: I think everyone understands.

697
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, and Andrew was cut off by some over Zeliz

698
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 10: California Post columnist trying to take over the press conference,

699
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 10: but nonetheless, Dave Roberts. Nonetheless, Dave Roberts kind of laid

700
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 10: out the plan for those two guys before they leave.

701
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 10: Otani and Yamamoto did face hitters today. Otani will not

702
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 10: pitch in a Cactus League game before he leaves for

703
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 10: Team Japan. Andrew Friedman said that once he returns, they're

704
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 10: planning on having Otani pitch in the Freeway Series. Yam Mamoto,

705
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 10: the plan for him is to pitch in a Cactus

706
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 10: League game before he does leave for Team Japan's training camp.

707
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 3: What about t Oscar Dave, you caught up with him as.

708
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 10: Well, Yeah. I've been following tay Oscar all off season,

709
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 10: and everybody saw the work that he put in this offseason.

710
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 10: We've been talking about it now and today was the

711
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 10: first day that he actually stood in front of his

712
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 10: locker to answer the questions about the motivating factor to

713
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 10: basically transform his body, and it's noticeable.

714
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 3: He said.

715
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 10: The motivating factor though, is because he wants to be

716
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 10: a better outfielder and one of his goals is to

717
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 10: win the Gold Glove in left field.

718
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 2: I wanted to go home have in one of those

719
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 2: gold glove, been working really hard for it, and let's

720
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 2: see what happens this year.

721
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 3: Be like Mookie Betts. All right, Dave, Well, other than
