0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 2>talk about the bloodbath as it was headlined in the

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>USA Today where he works, that is looming for twenty

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty seven, and really more importantly about the circumstances surrounding

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 2>the stepping down of thefor the mlbpa's president, Tony Clark.

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 3>Why did he step down?

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Matt financial some financial chicanery surrounding.

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 3>No, that's not why, Matt. Well, you know, don't you

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:56.559
<v Speaker 3>tell the real story, Matt.

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, sometimes your brother marries a hot lady and

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 2>the hot lady likes the the younger or the older

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 2>brother and not the husband, and weird things happen because

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.080
<v Speaker 2>you're around each other a lot.

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 3>That's a good thing, right, No, it's.

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Not a good thing. And next thing you know, you're

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 2>banging your sister a law in the AMLBPA offices, like

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:20.800
<v Speaker 2>because you gave her.

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.359
<v Speaker 3>We have we have some sound from Clark walking in

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 3>on on a Tuesday.

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:31.679
<v Speaker 5>Don't hump people at the jam, don't don't hunt people

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 5>at the jam. Don't hump people at church. Don't hunt

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 5>people in your neighborhood. Hey, don't hunt your friends spouses. Okay, guys,

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 5>we always use hump Day as a midweek reminder to

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 5>keep it clean.

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:47.959
<v Speaker 3>Okay, it's not Wednesday, but I think that a day

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 3>early on a two ed of mono Tuesday appropriate with

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 3>Tony Clark hooking up with.

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 6>His right what day is it? It is freaking hump Day.

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 6>Hump Day is the day that we think about what

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.640
<v Speaker 6>we're doing in our life, think about choices we're making.

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 6>And I'm not talking about big like life altern choices.

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 6>I'm talking about the little, tiny choices, the daily choices

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 6>that turn into big life alterned choices. So when we

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 6>talk about hump Day, we talk about that you should

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 6>only be humping your person. Okay, you should only be

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 6>humping the person that you are in a life commit

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 6>relationship with.

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 5>Don't hump people at the gym.

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:30.239
<v Speaker 2>Don't It is funny that she, uh, you know, now

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.959
<v Speaker 2>that we know a little bit more in the last

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 2>few years about soaking and jump humpers, that she does

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 2>choose to use the verb hump as youth is a

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 2>for efen Well on hump Day. So you think it's

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 2>just a product of it being Wednesday. And she said

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 2>hump day as opposed to there being.

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Jump humpers or do you think hump is like is

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 3>like the Mormon Utah's word for intercourse.

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm thinking. It's the euphem misery.

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh you know what, Let's listen to the first one

0:03:59.000 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 3>all the way through.

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 5>Don't hump people at the gym, don't hump people at church,

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 5>don't have people in your neighborhood. Okay, don't hump your

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 5>friend's spouses.

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 3>Okay, you guys.

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 5>We always use hump Day as a midweek reminder to

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 5>keep it clean, okay, for lots of reasons. Number one,

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 5>you got to look at that person in the mirror

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.720
<v Speaker 5>every day and go, you know what, you're a good person.

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.279
<v Speaker 5>Way to go girl, Way to keep it clean. Also

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.160
<v Speaker 5>because we don't want anything crawling on us down there.

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 5>That's very scary. And then have a little bit of

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 5>fear of Hell. Okay, maybe God, maybe he might be

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 5>mad at yet keep it clean today people. And then

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.280
<v Speaker 5>I don't because I also really like Mike. I mean,

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 5>he's my dude, he's my guy. He's the one that

0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 5>I chose to be with forever. So I'm just not

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:42.840
<v Speaker 5>going to do that to him, because I think he's

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 5>pretty awesome, even though he's sometimes.

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:53.599
<v Speaker 3>I like Mike Puzzo. So that's what happened. Look, even

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 3>though you're in charge of the Baseball Players Union, even

0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 3>though you have a lot of responsibility, that doesn't your

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 3>sister and lost haunches around the office can't get you excited,

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 3>And next thing you know, you're in.

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 2>At the office here at the MLBPA.

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.279
<v Speaker 3>I just slipped and fell and found myself in them

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:25.040
<v Speaker 3>haunches entranched in the haunch. All right, Matt, it happens

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 3>terrible rainstorm here in La that you're missing. It's nice today,

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 3>but it's supposed to rain like a hell again tonight.

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 3>His words, The word of the day. Today's word of

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:43.839
<v Speaker 3>the day is wamo, Matt. The floods are really having

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:48.359
<v Speaker 3>their way with the wamos. The recent floods in Los

0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:53.719
<v Speaker 3>Angeles made a pair of waymos wear it on melrose

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 3>Onlookers captured videos self driving cars stuck horribly in flood

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:05.160
<v Speaker 3>waters yesterday as heavy rains dell used the city. Wasn't

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 3>clear if there were passengers stuck inside the vehicles or

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 3>if they eventually made their way out and waited their

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.559
<v Speaker 3>way to the sidewalk. One of the cars was seen

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 3>with his caution lights on as it sat near the

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 3>Internet section of Melrose and will Cox.

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.040
<v Speaker 2>It's just not moving. This is they don't know what

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 2>to do.

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 3>This, yeah, I mean yeah, you know, like they tell

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.680
<v Speaker 3>people like, if you think it's kind of deep, don't

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 3>drive up in there. And I mean, if you're a

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 3>person and you can't make that decision, how the waymos

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.600
<v Speaker 3>supposed to make the decision? Or the Filipino guy on

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:46.280
<v Speaker 3>the joystick all the way back in Manila, which you uncovered.

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 3>That's an unbelievable uncovering that you pulled out last week.

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 3>And that's that's truly. That was really the kind of

0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.279
<v Speaker 3>the straw that stirred it for me was to think, like, okay,

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.800
<v Speaker 3>because I told the guys that on two pros and

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 3>a cup of Joe, because they had a weimo experience

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 3>in San Francisco when they were in the Super Bowl together.

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh really yeah, all three of those idiots, Jonas, LeVar

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 3>and Brady and I said in the air yesterday, I

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 3>mean LaVar and Brady are I mean, LaVar is huge,

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 3>Brady's big. Brady's a really big guy, and Jonas isn't small.

0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.520
<v Speaker 3>He just you know, dressed like Dracula. And I guess

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 3>Jonas got really lippy with the Waimo and tried to

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 3>start a fight with its AI voice.

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Well that's probably not good.

0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Well that's what happened. But anyway, they got through that.

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 3>But I was able to tell them because of your story.

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 3>I said, well, guess what Matt Smith revealed this yesterday.

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 3>There's a guy in the Philippines and a joystick that

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 3>didn't appreciate very much what drack Jonas Knox was saying

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 3>to him behind the behind the passenger seat or wherever

0:07:56.880 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 3>he was in that Weimo. But the rain has caused

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 3>a lot of waymos. There's more weaymos stuck in the

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 3>Wilshire Boulevard yesterday. And Weimo previously touted its weather capabilities,

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 3>telling somebody last month that they closely monitor the conditions

0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 3>of weather and cities where it operates, and they adjust

0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 3>their operations accordingly. Well, welcome to La when it rains

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 3>a whole bunch Weimo you are, sl.

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 2>So Kfi posted on their social media last night. Guys

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Lebray and Olympic for weamos blocking lanes yesterday during the

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:34.560
<v Speaker 2>day because of flooding.

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 3>Feels like the weymos can't handle the rain. We are idiot.

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.960
<v Speaker 3>LA drivers handle the rain a lot better than those weaymos.

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 3>Huh yeah, what a shock.

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.559
<v Speaker 2>And our public and the public perception of our ability

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 2>to navigate in the rain is not good. But guess what.

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 2>The robots really suck all right.

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 3>And one of those food delivery things sunk too in

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:57.560
<v Speaker 3>West Hollywood trying to deliver food to somebody. So the

0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:01.160
<v Speaker 3>rain is really kicking people's ass out there. And just

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 3>remember that a person behind the wheel is probably better

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 3>than a waimo. In the city of Los Angeles, I

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:13.439
<v Speaker 3>think we're coming to that conclusion as the weeks right. Well, yeah,

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.679
<v Speaker 3>because what happens when there's unrest downtown in that one

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 3>block where everybody gets mad they go burn the weaymos.

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:24.320
<v Speaker 3>What happens when it rains, the waymos drown? What happens

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.080
<v Speaker 3>in Santa Monica, the waymos beep all night and drive

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 3>people crazier than they already are out there.

0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:32.079
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it's in that negative, That's.

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.800
<v Speaker 3>What I'm saying, Matt. When is there been out now

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 3>somebody did point out the other day that you know,

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.199
<v Speaker 3>we're not women, and of course we all have women

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 3>in our families, are very close to us. But creepy

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:48.600
<v Speaker 3>driver is a thing, and sometimes ladies would rather just

0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 3>be in a car yeah and sink and die in

0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:55.439
<v Speaker 3>Awaymo than be in a car with a creepy Armenian game.

0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 3>Fair point, I mean, doesn't have to be Armenia. But

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:00.720
<v Speaker 3>you you know what I'm saying.

0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:02.680
<v Speaker 2>I do know exactly what you're a know it very well.

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:07.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So so still though, Matt, it could be in

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 3>that negative, especially in the La Rain. It's certainly a

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.680
<v Speaker 3>bad situation with these Weymoult cars. I don't know what's

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.720
<v Speaker 3>next with the Weaymos, but the latest is that they're

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 3>drowning in the.

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Streets, troading in the streets. Number of the day, number

0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:29.680
<v Speaker 2>of the day is, let's see eighteen fifteen, five hundred thousand,

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 2>one hundred thousand. Those are the wind totals and the

0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 2>fines from the Utah Jazz and the Indiana Pacers.

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.680
<v Speaker 3>Are we talking about We're talking about some basketball aggression.

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Matt talking about. No, no basketball aggressions. We're talking about

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:49.319
<v Speaker 2>basketball tanking is what we are talking about.

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 3>When when my team won't win a game. You know

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:52.600
<v Speaker 3>what I always say at the end of the year,

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:53.840
<v Speaker 3>tanks for nothing.

0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 2>And that is something that the Jazz and Pacers have

0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:02.440
<v Speaker 2>done to an extent that Adamson found it necessary to

0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 2>find them a considerable sum of money for what he

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:10.200
<v Speaker 2>believed was the practice of not playing healthy players and

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 2>an effort to lose more games and increase the chances

0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 2>that they will be in position to draft Cam Boozer

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:23.080
<v Speaker 2>or Debansta or one of these standout players. And what

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 2>is expected to be a hell of a draft, like

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.720
<v Speaker 2>a three player draft, the kid from Kansas, the Bansta

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.720
<v Speaker 2>from Deep Byu, and cam Boozer from Duke. And that

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.439
<v Speaker 2>is why they expect it to get worse. And so

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 2>consider this the first salvo fired by Silver in an

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:45.200
<v Speaker 2>effort to let the teams know a financial penalties and

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:49.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe even be draft pick penalties if you are not competitive. Well.

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Mark Cuban never want to hold his tongue. He is

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.959
<v Speaker 2>still an owner of the Mavericks. He's not the majority owner,

0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.240
<v Speaker 2>but like Genie Buss, he still has a percentage. After

0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:01.600
<v Speaker 2>selling to the Vegas Folk. Folks decided to take to

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 2>his Twitter page to push back against the NBA, pointing

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:11.760
<v Speaker 2>out that tanking is a necessity, that as someone who

0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:17.480
<v Speaker 2>decided to tank back in the prior to the draft

0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 2>in which they netted Luka Doncic, it was done with

0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.680
<v Speaker 2>the intent of trying to get a high enough pick

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 2>to make a run at Trey Young or Luca or

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.560
<v Speaker 2>one of these top these topics in that draft, and

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:30.880
<v Speaker 2>that's the only way you'll dig out of not being

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 2>a competitive basketball team. The problem with the position that

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 2>he takes, and it's, you know, one of those I'm

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:42.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna I'm gonna write on a one thousand word tweet and

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.560
<v Speaker 2>you're all going to consume it, is that he essentially

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.720
<v Speaker 2>makes the point that Adam Silver is making and why

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:52.679
<v Speaker 2>tanking is such a problem because you are artificially trying

0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:57.120
<v Speaker 2>to You are deliberately and artificially lowering the status of

0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 2>your team to suggest that you are earning one of

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:04.440
<v Speaker 2>those three or four top picks because your team is

0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 2>so bad. The idea of the lottery is you draft

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 2>a great player and now you're back in the mix.

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.599
<v Speaker 2>And parody is great for the sport, but it's artificial,

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 2>it is intentional. You're not the third worst team in

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 2>the league because you're the third worst team. You're the

0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:21.679
<v Speaker 2>third worst team because you decided to sit a bunch

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:23.959
<v Speaker 2>of guys when you would have been the seventh or

0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:28.679
<v Speaker 2>eighth worst team had you just played everybody. So moving forward,

0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.800
<v Speaker 2>because people come to me for these sort of answers.

0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 3>I certainly do. I want to know what they're really

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:36.000
<v Speaker 3>thinking about when they're tanking.

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Can we can we tank it for nothing? Can we

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 2>can we just flatten? As they like to say the

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 2>lottery odds. See, you don't get a fourteen percent chance

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:46.680
<v Speaker 2>of the number one pick if you have the first, second,

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.960
<v Speaker 2>or third worst record, and it drops to eight percent,

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.520
<v Speaker 2>and then four percent and then one percent. How about

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.680
<v Speaker 2>all the teams that don't make the playoffs, and I

0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 2>mean even the play in teams. The eighteen worst teams

0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:02.199
<v Speaker 2>have the exact same opportunity at the number one pick

0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.040
<v Speaker 2>as any other team. I assume that would be a

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:08.800
<v Speaker 2>very quick fix to tanking. If you, you and the

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.960
<v Speaker 2>other eighteen teams have a one in eighteen chance of

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:16.320
<v Speaker 2>landing the number one pick, the problem solved all as well.

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Draw the entire eighteen picks, first one through eighteen. Pull

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 2>them all for all eighteen teams and then we will

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 2>have a much more competitive NBA. Did that make any

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 2>sense or did I feel like this sounded a lot

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 2>better when I was kind of hammering out the details

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:32.120
<v Speaker 2>of this then it did.

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, Matt, You know you can ask Phil

0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Collins or any of those guys that have been on

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:40.160
<v Speaker 3>a world tour. It is not easy, you know what

0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 3>tour on the world tour.

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:44.840
<v Speaker 2>But I think you have the time to think about

0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 2>these things. You know, you're a loon in the subway,

0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 2>you're alone in the car. You got a four hours

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:49.480
<v Speaker 2>you know.

0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how the NBA is going to figure

0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 3>out they're tanking for for tanking for Nootson tanks for

0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:56.239
<v Speaker 3>nothing stuff.

0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 6>And in other news, all right, you guys, what is

0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.400
<v Speaker 6>it is freaking hump Day?

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:06.280
<v Speaker 3>Now this text, Matt says, And this is a great question.

0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:10.560
<v Speaker 3>So in Utah, does hump day just mean sex day

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.200
<v Speaker 3>and have nothing to do with it being in the

0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.760
<v Speaker 3>middle of the week. Can a lifelong committed couple have

0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:18.400
<v Speaker 3>multiple hump days?

0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 6>All right, you guys, what day is it? It is

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:21.400
<v Speaker 6>freaking hunt day?

0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, go hump your special person. Just only hump only

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 2>your special person.

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 3>Because if you hump someone else you're going to hell

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:30.920
<v Speaker 3>or you're getting a disease.

0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, someone's going to crawl around down there.

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:37.360
<v Speaker 3>No, Matt, I understood that completely. Tanking is a bad look.

0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 3>But everybody does it when they're in that position.

0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 2>So let's remove them from being able to do it

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 2>or being motivated to do it. Problem solved.

0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:46.480
<v Speaker 3>How do we block.

0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Block what.

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 3>They're sees from tanking? There's a tanking diaphragm.

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Believe it's with a sponge.

0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.520
<v Speaker 3>You know, you don't hear about the sponge or the diaphragm, and.

0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 2>You don't you just do you know what? And I

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.560
<v Speaker 2>would say, I'd love to pretend like I'm that old

0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 2>or or the girls that we were we were having

0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 2>relations with were committed to that approach. I did not

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.560
<v Speaker 2>have to deal with a sponge nor a diaphragm in

0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 2>my day. It was simply.

0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 3>That plastic might have just been way up there.

0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.720
<v Speaker 6>Right, That's what day is it? It is freaking hump day.

0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.320
<v Speaker 6>Hump Day is the day sponge about what we're doing

0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.600
<v Speaker 6>in our life. Think about choices we're making. And I'm

0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:36.800
<v Speaker 6>not talking about big, like life altering choices. I'm talking

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:40.120
<v Speaker 6>about the little, tiny, choices, the daily choices that turn

0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:43.960
<v Speaker 6>into big life alterned choices. So when we talk about

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:47.160
<v Speaker 6>home day, we talk about that you should only be

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.800
<v Speaker 6>humping your person. Okay, you should only be humping the

0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 6>person that you were in a life commit relationship with,

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 6>not people that you meet online, not neighbors, not other

0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:01.240
<v Speaker 6>people's husbands or spouses or wives. You guys, those kind

0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:05.600
<v Speaker 6>of things just bring a lot to people.

0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:14.840

0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Hell I remember when he worked for the La Times.

0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:09.160
<v Speaker 3>A baseball voice that is unparalleled, and he's got spring

0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:10.960
<v Speaker 3>training going on now, A lot of news to break,

0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 3>a lot to cover. It is Bob Nightingale in Arizona

0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:19.800
<v Speaker 3>on your Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline on the

0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:22.720
<v Speaker 3>Petros and Money Show. What's cracking, Bob? How are you?

0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:30.239
<v Speaker 3>Doing great? And we are We're concerned, Bob. You know

0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:33.440
<v Speaker 3>when there's no I know you're concerned because if there's

0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:35.200
<v Speaker 3>no baseball, what are you gonna write about? A bunch

0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:38.800
<v Speaker 3>of finance. That's annoying. But you know, when there's no baseball,

0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:41.480
<v Speaker 3>Matt and I got to do four hours a day

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.600
<v Speaker 3>under the hot sun with our whole and our plow.

0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:46.879
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's a lot of radio to do if

0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:52.000
<v Speaker 3>there's no baseball season. We're concerned how bad is this

0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:56.199
<v Speaker 3>situation likely to be? And there's so much money to

0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:58.240
<v Speaker 3>be made, it's hard to imagine that these guys will

0:20:58.240 --> 0:20:59.480
<v Speaker 3>just sit out and not make it.

0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:03.800
<v Speaker 9>No, I mean, it could be like we had the

0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:06.119
<v Speaker 9>last time. It was a nine nine day lockout, and

0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:10.080
<v Speaker 9>uh spring springs spring trainings started late, but do not

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.000
<v Speaker 9>miss any games, so I can see the same thing.

0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:15.919
<v Speaker 9>Just you may reduce spring training to a couple of

0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 9>weeks and uh, you know, and start a little bit late.

0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:22.600
<v Speaker 9>But it's hard to see that it's gonna last. It'll

0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:25.639
<v Speaker 9>lasts more than a few months. Uh, you know, I

0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:27.880
<v Speaker 9>do think we'll get to the point. I think everyy's

0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:30.280
<v Speaker 9>you know, pretty much predicting, like, Okay, we're definitely having

0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:33.119
<v Speaker 9>a lockout, but how long will it last? And with

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:35.639
<v Speaker 9>the money being made on both sides, that's why I

0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 9>know one's really predicting, Like I can't see them wiping

0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:40.879
<v Speaker 9>out half a season or a full season.

0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:41.760
<v Speaker 2>I get.

0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:41.960
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:45.399
<v Speaker 2>The one thing we keep hearing is the term non starter.

0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:48.120
<v Speaker 2>A salary cap is a non starter for the players.

0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:51.520
<v Speaker 2>A without a salary cap as a non starter for

0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:54.359
<v Speaker 2>the owners, Like is are they really non starters? Is

0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 2>there no middle ground? Is this is one side going

0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:58.360
<v Speaker 2>to have to acquiesce to the other.

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:03.160
<v Speaker 9>Well, yeah, let's see who blinks first. And I'm sure

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:05.879
<v Speaker 9>the you know, I'm sure the owners are you know,

0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:08.880
<v Speaker 9>MLB is going to say at least listen to us.

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:12.800
<v Speaker 9>And they're big thing is say, if there's a salary cap,

0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:15.639
<v Speaker 9>you know, the players who make more money, Uh so

0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:18.240
<v Speaker 9>of the franchises have not gone up and by you

0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:21.080
<v Speaker 9>like the yetter sports. And I think that's where the

0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:23.639
<v Speaker 9>owners say, way, now, why are we the only sport

0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:26.520
<v Speaker 9>without one? And then the players are argue, of course

0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:29.720
<v Speaker 9>that hey, everyone's making tons of money. Now why a

0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:32.399
<v Speaker 9>buck the system? I mean, when you have a you know,

0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:34.440
<v Speaker 9>if you have a salary cap, you know you're not

0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:36.320
<v Speaker 9>gonna be giving you know, you can't give it Kyle

0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:39.440
<v Speaker 9>Tucker sixty million dollars a year or a you know,

0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:42.520
<v Speaker 9>one soda seven sixty five or a tanis seven hundred,

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:46.080
<v Speaker 9>so you know, maybe they might mess around with the

0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 9>fer money, say why now some of thefer money it's

0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:52.600
<v Speaker 9>after them, but still got to count towards your leisure techs.

0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:57.920
<v Speaker 3>Bob Nightingale is our guest. He is a great baseball

0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:01.240
<v Speaker 3>rider and a powerful base ball voice. I mean, for

0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:05.360
<v Speaker 3>fifteen years, Bob, I'm sure every single column you ever

0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 3>wrote or newspiece or article regarding the players union and

0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:12.720
<v Speaker 3>stuff mentioned Tony Clark. I mean, this guy's been a

0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:15.600
<v Speaker 3>big voice for a long time. I know that there's

0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:20.439
<v Speaker 3>been some extracurriculars in the story, but ultimately, what is

0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:23.600
<v Speaker 3>not having Tony Clark around mean or not mean for

0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:26.200
<v Speaker 3>the future? Does it really affect things either way?

0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:30.960
<v Speaker 9>The the effects is that the owners and you know

0:23:31.200 --> 0:23:35.600
<v Speaker 9>MMB office like Tony Clark, their respect to him. They thought,

0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:39.080
<v Speaker 9>you know, you could reason with him. Where his leading negotiator,

0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:42.200
<v Speaker 9>you know, Bruce Meyer. They've had a really tough relationship

0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:46.359
<v Speaker 9>with him, and it's been them in the crossroads for

0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:49.840
<v Speaker 9>a long time. So now he'd have you know, he

0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:52.800
<v Speaker 9>may not have full authority. You know, we'll see, you know,

0:23:52.840 --> 0:23:56.040
<v Speaker 9>who gets the job. You know, they may leave Bruce

0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:59.480
<v Speaker 9>Meyer just as leading negotiator and hire promote someone from

0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:02.960
<v Speaker 9>within the office as to be the union chief least

0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:05.560
<v Speaker 9>an interim basis. But in my mind is you're still

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:09.040
<v Speaker 9>going to have the principal player is involved, just without

0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:13.320
<v Speaker 9>Tony Clark, who you know, they enjoyed dealing with. They

0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:15.879
<v Speaker 9>just thought it was easier and they could deal with Tony,

0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:18.720
<v Speaker 9>you know, than it was with or is with Bruce.

0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Meyer, Bob Nightingale with us. You can follow him on

0:24:21.960 --> 0:24:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Twitter at b Nightingale. He does it for the USA Today.

0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:29.199
<v Speaker 2>That is where the article posted way early this morning

0:24:29.240 --> 0:24:32.000
<v Speaker 2>about the stepping down of Tony Clark or the resignation

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:35.920
<v Speaker 2>of Tony Clark and what that might mean for baseball

0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:39.120
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty seven. Twenty twenty six is upon us.

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Does it feel severely tilted nationally for twenty twenty six? Bob?

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:47.399
<v Speaker 2>It's not like the Dodgers had a walk in the

0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:49.440
<v Speaker 2>park and the World Series. I mean, you can make

0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:52.399
<v Speaker 2>a case that they probably should have lost that World

0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Series as opposed to the miraculous way they won it.

0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Does it feel like twenty twenty six is even more

0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:00.879
<v Speaker 2>in their favor or do you feel comfortable making a

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:02.359
<v Speaker 2>case for a handful of these teams.

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:06.359
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean exactly right. I mean they could have

0:25:06.400 --> 0:25:08.960
<v Speaker 9>easily lost two years ago to the Podres when they're down,

0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:10.520
<v Speaker 9>you know, two games and one I had to do

0:25:10.560 --> 0:25:13.960
<v Speaker 9>a bullpen game. Freddie Freeman was in the lineup, you know,

0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:16.800
<v Speaker 9>came back when the next two uh, you know, they

0:25:16.840 --> 0:25:19.440
<v Speaker 9>were fortunate to get past the Philadelphia Phillies. Remember when

0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:22.479
<v Speaker 9>the throwing air but a young pitcher and uh they

0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:25.720
<v Speaker 9>could have been having a game five uh in Philadelphia

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:28.679
<v Speaker 9>or anything could have happened. Uh So yeah, I mean

0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:31.359
<v Speaker 9>anything can happen the postseason. But you know, as you

0:25:31.359 --> 0:25:33.680
<v Speaker 9>sit here, you say, okay, what what team for sure

0:25:33.720 --> 0:25:35.680
<v Speaker 9>is gonna win the division? You know, you got to

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:37.840
<v Speaker 9>say that the Dodgers, I mean they're the one locked

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:40.199
<v Speaker 9>to win the division, not lockdown, you know, win the

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:43.400
<v Speaker 9>World Series. But you know it's a deep roster, it's

0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:46.400
<v Speaker 9>older roster. Uh made a lot of sense to them

0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:48.480
<v Speaker 9>to Sagan Tucker. You know, maybe not to sixty million

0:25:48.520 --> 0:25:51.199
<v Speaker 9>dollars a year, but in a sense where you know,

0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:54.959
<v Speaker 9>get a young para, you know, legs in the outfield,

0:25:55.640 --> 0:25:59.640
<v Speaker 9>good solid hitter and his personality, you know, just laid back,

0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:01.479
<v Speaker 9>you kind and it fits in you can let everybody

0:26:01.520 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 9>else you talk to me and things like.

0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:08.680
<v Speaker 2>That, Baba Tursa, just kind of the way the Dodgers

0:26:08.720 --> 0:26:11.919
<v Speaker 2>are built. We know the players have their talking points

0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:13.919
<v Speaker 2>from the union. They don't want a salary cap, so

0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:15.720
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna you know what Bryce Harp or what Manny

0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Machado said, this is great. We think the Dodgers are great.

0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:20.920
<v Speaker 2>We love that they're spending money. You mentioned you think

0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:23.120
<v Speaker 2>that the players could make more money perhaps if there

0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 2>was a salary cap. Do you think the players, if

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:30.320
<v Speaker 2>not given the talking points from the union, are okay

0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:31.920
<v Speaker 2>with what the Dodgers are doing. Do you think they're

0:26:31.960 --> 0:26:34.199
<v Speaker 2>not okay with what the not the owners, but I

0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:36.560
<v Speaker 2>mean straight players. Do you think they like the way

0:26:36.560 --> 0:26:37.720
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers are operating?

0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:41.600
<v Speaker 9>I do? You know, It's like we talk to players,

0:26:41.640 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 9>ask many much how that's their day and in Mike's

0:26:44.760 --> 0:26:47.440
<v Speaker 9>troud and of course you know Bryce Harper talked about it.

0:26:47.760 --> 0:26:50.160
<v Speaker 9>But just the fact that they want their own their

0:26:50.240 --> 0:26:52.760
<v Speaker 9>owners to do the same thing. I mean, obviously a

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:55.000
<v Speaker 9>too much of Milwaukee Brewers can't spill like the Dodgers.

0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:57.520
<v Speaker 9>They don't have those kind of resources, And you know,

0:26:57.560 --> 0:27:00.119
<v Speaker 9>the Dodgers have the big TV advantage, you know, get

0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:02.560
<v Speaker 9>about three hundred thirty million dollars a year where teams

0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:06.280
<v Speaker 9>are making about twenty five million dollars a year local TV.

0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:09.119
<v Speaker 9>But so yeah, I think the players anything else is

0:27:09.160 --> 0:27:11.080
<v Speaker 9>more jealous. You're like, oh, man, I wish I played

0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:13.320
<v Speaker 9>for a team like that that would spend that kind

0:27:13.359 --> 0:27:15.720
<v Speaker 9>of money and you know, spend one hundred and fifty

0:27:15.720 --> 0:27:19.120
<v Speaker 9>million dollars on lungture taxes and not blank because they're

0:27:19.160 --> 0:27:22.679
<v Speaker 9>making that kind of money. So you know where the

0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:25.119
<v Speaker 9>owners are saying, wave, man, Now our fans feel like

0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:27.919
<v Speaker 9>we don't have a chance. You know, we haven't had

0:27:27.960 --> 0:27:31.440
<v Speaker 9>a you can't see worlds back in twenty fifteen was

0:27:31.520 --> 0:27:34.200
<v Speaker 9>the last you know, bottom half a team in payroll

0:27:34.560 --> 0:27:37.960
<v Speaker 9>that won the World Series. But then you say, you

0:27:37.960 --> 0:27:40.880
<v Speaker 9>know what, why why the Milwaukee Brewers in the playoffs

0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:43.040
<v Speaker 9>every year? You know why was Tampa Bay? That's a

0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:45.520
<v Speaker 9>juggernut in the Al East. So if you have a

0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:48.359
<v Speaker 9>shirt front office, you can still you know, do things

0:27:48.400 --> 0:27:50.640
<v Speaker 9>like that. You know, the Dodgers only have their money.

0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:53.040
<v Speaker 9>They do have, you know, a brilliant front office and

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:53.680
<v Speaker 9>do things right.

0:27:54.640 --> 0:27:57.840
<v Speaker 3>Bob Nightingale. Ladies and gentlemen, he's out there riding the rains.

0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:00.720
<v Speaker 3>You can check his column in the USA today. He's

0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:04.400
<v Speaker 3>in Arizona writing all about spring training and a day

0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:07.639
<v Speaker 3>that started with wow, I wonder what financial reason this

0:28:07.800 --> 0:28:11.400
<v Speaker 3>Tony Clark guy stepped down for uh, and then ended

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:14.240
<v Speaker 3>with looks like the sister in law. So not easy

0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:17.640
<v Speaker 3>to be Bob Nightingale on a day like today, trying

0:28:17.640 --> 0:28:22.320
<v Speaker 3>to follow the news. Not easy at all. Yeah, I

0:28:22.320 --> 0:28:24.080
<v Speaker 3>mean I saw a picture of the wife. I'm still

0:28:24.119 --> 0:28:27.720
<v Speaker 3>trying to find the sister in law, the great. We're

0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:28.720
<v Speaker 3>reporters here, Bob.

0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:32.560
<v Speaker 9>I used to confuse it to you. I really did,

0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:35.639
<v Speaker 9>because they uh, you know, you know, their sisters and

0:28:35.680 --> 0:28:37.520
<v Speaker 9>so yeah, there were a lot of events together and

0:28:37.520 --> 0:28:40.160
<v Speaker 9>stuff like that. So yeah, I remember they used to,

0:28:40.320 --> 0:28:41.719
<v Speaker 9>you know, make fun of me, like, oh, you keep

0:28:41.720 --> 0:28:43.240
<v Speaker 9>getting this confused.

0:28:44.760 --> 0:28:47.880
<v Speaker 3>You know. Not the only one, Bob, Not the only one,

0:28:48.400 --> 0:28:51.080
<v Speaker 3>the Great Bob Nightingale. We all wish, just like a

0:28:51.080 --> 0:28:52.960
<v Speaker 3>lot of people wish they could play for the Dodgers.

0:28:52.960 --> 0:28:56.080
<v Speaker 3>We all wish we were tall and strong and beloved

0:28:56.280 --> 0:29:00.160
<v Speaker 3>coast to coast like Bob Nightingale with his beautiful quill

0:29:00.480 --> 0:29:03.800

<v Speaker 2>To get him confused. They're sisters. They look just the same,

0:29:20.400 --> 0:29:20.840
<v Speaker 2>looks like.

0:29:20.800 --> 0:29:23.240
<v Speaker 3>Old white Beard. Got him confused too. Is that Tony

0:29:23.280 --> 0:29:27.680
<v Speaker 3>Clark's excuse? Like you know, but I was confused.

<v Speaker 2>She looks just like you, sweetheart, And when I'm away

0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:34.719
<v Speaker 2>from you, I can't get enough of you.

0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:38.840

<v Speaker 4>the Vassi Report with David Vasse, the one.

0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:52.440
<v Speaker 3>And only David Verse. We have the MLBPA stuff that

0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:55.120
<v Speaker 3>we dealt with with the top story of the day

0:30:55.160 --> 0:30:58.440
<v Speaker 3>where we'll deal with. David. Vase is here with the

0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:02.959
<v Speaker 3>latest on the Dodgers. Dave hitting the ground running at

0:31:03.000 --> 0:31:07.560
<v Speaker 3>camel Back Ranch yesterday, Spectrum Sportsnet and Dodger Talk with

0:31:07.600 --> 0:31:11.479
<v Speaker 3>Blake Trienten tonight. He's got Max Munci. So it is

0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:16.360
<v Speaker 3>David Vasse from Spectrum Sportsnet, LA MLB networking right here

0:31:16.680 --> 0:31:20.480
<v Speaker 3>on AMPI seventy LA Sports, the best reporter in the world. Dave,

0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:24.760
<v Speaker 3>how's it going and what's going on today out there? Now?

0:31:24.760 --> 0:31:28.760
<v Speaker 10>Everything is great, guys. Today was the first official full

0:31:28.800 --> 0:31:32.600
<v Speaker 10>squad workout for the Dodgers, and that means Dave Roberts

0:31:32.640 --> 0:31:36.240
<v Speaker 10>had the room with the entire Big League camp for

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:39.120
<v Speaker 10>their morning meeting, and from what I was told, they

0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:43.360
<v Speaker 10>showed highlights of their World Series win over the Blue

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:49.040
<v Speaker 10>Jays and also had newcomers Kyle Tucker and Edwin Diaz

0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:52.240
<v Speaker 10>step up in front of the crowd and say something

0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:56.280
<v Speaker 10>to their new teammates. So a good tone was set

0:31:56.400 --> 0:32:00.000
<v Speaker 10>by all accounts. So we're often running here at camel Back.

0:32:01.200 --> 0:32:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Dave just kind of give us an idea because we

0:32:03.520 --> 0:32:06.440
<v Speaker 2>asked you about it last week when Jeff Passing decided

0:32:06.480 --> 0:32:10.239
<v Speaker 2>to write the article. Is there any just I'm not

0:32:10.280 --> 0:32:12.560
<v Speaker 2>saying players or anything like that, but do you feel

0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:15.760
<v Speaker 2>as though there is any I don't know, dark cloud,

0:32:15.800 --> 0:32:17.680
<v Speaker 2>if that's the right word or not. Or is there

0:32:17.760 --> 0:32:22.160
<v Speaker 2>any chatter about next year's CBA? Is that going to

0:32:22.320 --> 0:32:23.840
<v Speaker 2>haunt us all spring training?

0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:28.080
<v Speaker 10>Honestly, it's not even been talked about here at camel

0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:32.280
<v Speaker 10>Back Ranch. I mean, everybody's focused on the celebration of

0:32:32.320 --> 0:32:34.960
<v Speaker 10>the back to back champions. I mean there is four

0:32:35.040 --> 0:32:39.200
<v Speaker 10>or five deep fans here at Camelback Ranch since last Friday.

0:32:40.160 --> 0:32:43.800
<v Speaker 10>It just seems like it's talked about by people that

0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:47.920
<v Speaker 10>are not within these walls, unless the players asked about it.

0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:51.280
<v Speaker 10>And quite frankly, no player that I've been around has

0:32:51.360 --> 0:32:54.160
<v Speaker 10>been really asked about it. I asked Blake Trenon about

0:32:54.200 --> 0:32:57.440
<v Speaker 10>it when he was on Dodger Talk last night, and basically,

0:32:57.800 --> 0:33:02.240
<v Speaker 10>they don't really care. It's just seems like everybody that's

0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:06.320
<v Speaker 10>on the Dodgers is echoing what Manny Machado and Bryce

0:33:06.360 --> 0:33:09.000
<v Speaker 10>Harper had to say yesterday, that they're happy to be

0:33:09.160 --> 0:33:14.000
<v Speaker 10>on this side, and it's just trying to do the

0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:17.000
<v Speaker 10>best you can to win every year, and they're just

0:33:17.080 --> 0:33:22.360
<v Speaker 10>grateful that again, the Dodgers management doubled down on back

0:33:22.400 --> 0:33:25.320
<v Speaker 10>to back championships to go out and sign the best

0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:29.960
<v Speaker 10>available outfielder and the best available closer. So it's weird.

0:33:30.600 --> 0:33:33.320
<v Speaker 10>And before I got here, it seemed like that was

0:33:33.840 --> 0:33:37.880
<v Speaker 10>something that was talked about virtually every day in our stratosphere.

0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:41.720
<v Speaker 10>But once you's here, it's not really a thing.

0:33:42.880 --> 0:33:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Right on, Yeah, as it should be. Near the back

0:33:44.920 --> 0:33:47.120
<v Speaker 2>to back World Series champions we've seen it like each

0:33:47.120 --> 0:33:49.040
<v Speaker 2>of the last couple of years. Right two years ago,

0:33:49.680 --> 0:33:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Yamamoto Otanian spring training excitement through the roof last year,

0:33:53.680 --> 0:33:56.560
<v Speaker 2>they got Blake Snell, a lot of excitement around spring training.

0:33:56.600 --> 0:33:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Give us an idea of you know, kind of what

0:33:58.600 --> 0:34:01.760
<v Speaker 2>the arrival of Edwin and Kyle Tucker, what kind of

0:34:01.880 --> 0:34:03.080
<v Speaker 2>energy that's fed into this.

0:34:03.760 --> 0:34:06.719
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, Kyle Tucker. I was talking to Chris Woodward today

0:34:06.880 --> 0:34:09.680
<v Speaker 10>and he was saying that when he managed for the

0:34:09.800 --> 0:34:15.279
<v Speaker 10>Rangers in series against the Astros. He said there was

0:34:15.400 --> 0:34:18.800
<v Speaker 10>one three game series that they played against the Astros,

0:34:18.840 --> 0:34:21.920
<v Speaker 10>and Tucker had a stamp on every single win in

0:34:21.960 --> 0:34:24.760
<v Speaker 10>a different way, whether it was thrown out a runner

0:34:25.120 --> 0:34:27.759
<v Speaker 10>from right field, whether it was getting a big hit

0:34:27.880 --> 0:34:30.680
<v Speaker 10>or hitting a home run. He's that type of player

0:34:30.719 --> 0:34:33.600
<v Speaker 10>and he believes that he's going to fit in perfectly,

0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:36.160
<v Speaker 10>and he has that even temper. I know there's been

0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:38.840
<v Speaker 10>a lot talked about, you know, his desire to play

0:34:38.880 --> 0:34:41.560
<v Speaker 10>the game of baseball or if he has that burning

0:34:41.680 --> 0:34:45.319
<v Speaker 10>passion inside of him, and Chris Woodward told me that

0:34:45.400 --> 0:34:49.279
<v Speaker 10>he just doesn't show it like other players do. And

0:34:49.640 --> 0:34:51.839
<v Speaker 10>you can make whatever you want out of a guy

0:34:51.880 --> 0:34:55.560
<v Speaker 10>that hasn't even keeled demeanor, but usually in baseball that's

0:34:55.600 --> 0:34:57.480
<v Speaker 10>a good thing. Not to get too high or get

0:34:57.480 --> 0:35:00.920
<v Speaker 10>too low. And he likened his demeanor to aready demens.

0:35:01.200 --> 0:35:03.359
<v Speaker 10>After his strikeout, he's not going to throw his bad

0:35:03.480 --> 0:35:06.239
<v Speaker 10>or throw his helmet, but he's gonna find a way

0:35:06.280 --> 0:35:07.600
<v Speaker 10>to be better the next time.

0:35:08.480 --> 0:35:12.680
<v Speaker 3>One and only David Vesse on your Southern California Toyota

0:35:12.719 --> 0:35:17.840
<v Speaker 3>Dealer Celebrity Hotline talking from Camelback Ranch on the Petros

0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:20.480
<v Speaker 3>and Money shown out today. I don't know how many

0:35:20.560 --> 0:35:24.240
<v Speaker 3>of these you've been through? Was the Dave Roberts inspirational

0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:27.560
<v Speaker 3>speech day to the team, which you know, if you're

0:35:27.560 --> 0:35:29.920
<v Speaker 3>a guy like Max Munsey, who you've got on tonight,

0:35:30.560 --> 0:35:33.440
<v Speaker 3>he's been there for a lot of these. How does

0:35:33.520 --> 0:35:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Dave spice this up? Dave, is there anything? Do you

0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:38.719
<v Speaker 3>sit in a locker hiding and to listen to this?

0:35:38.800 --> 0:35:41.880
<v Speaker 3>How is this whole thing play out a year in

0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:45.080
<v Speaker 3>and year out? Dave Roberts has been the manager of

0:35:45.120 --> 0:35:46.920
<v Speaker 3>the Dodgers an awful long time now.

0:35:48.040 --> 0:35:51.120
<v Speaker 10>Right, and he's had the same group of players for

0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:55.320
<v Speaker 10>the last four years or so. So I think he's

0:35:55.440 --> 0:35:58.240
<v Speaker 10>opened it up. Like I mentioned to other players to speak.

0:35:58.280 --> 0:36:01.840
<v Speaker 10>Not only did Tucker and Diaz, but Mookie Bett said

0:36:01.880 --> 0:36:05.160
<v Speaker 10>something and Miguel Roja said something on top of them,

0:36:05.200 --> 0:36:08.240
<v Speaker 10>showing you know, a highlight package of the World Series.

0:36:08.280 --> 0:36:12.920
<v Speaker 10>So I believe that's the way he works around having

0:36:13.560 --> 0:36:16.440
<v Speaker 10>his message fall on deaf year. See, let's the players

0:36:16.480 --> 0:36:19.280
<v Speaker 10>do the talking. So that's how he ran it today.

0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Freeman lets the gomer do the talking from time

0:36:23.239 --> 0:36:25.480
<v Speaker 2>to time, but he didn't meet with the media today.

0:36:25.680 --> 0:36:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Day the president of Baseball OPS kind of if you

0:36:28.600 --> 0:36:31.400
<v Speaker 2>can give us a summary or what you learned, if

0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:33.200
<v Speaker 2>there's anything you pulled out of that conversation.

0:36:33.560 --> 0:36:36.000
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, the biggest thing for me I have not had

0:36:36.000 --> 0:36:39.919
<v Speaker 10>a chance to talk to Andrew about just his feelings

0:36:40.200 --> 0:36:44.840
<v Speaker 10>about Yamamoto and Otani leaving camp to go play for

0:36:45.040 --> 0:36:49.799
<v Speaker 10>Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic, And today I

0:36:49.880 --> 0:36:52.799
<v Speaker 10>had the opportunity to ask him whether or not he's

0:36:52.840 --> 0:36:56.719
<v Speaker 10>had a conversation with Yamamoto and Otani to keep the

0:36:56.760 --> 0:37:01.160
<v Speaker 10>guardrails up even when they're playing Team Japan.

0:37:01.480 --> 0:37:04.600
<v Speaker 11>Not really, because I know them and I know that

0:37:04.760 --> 0:37:11.400
<v Speaker 11>once you know the first pitch and Samurai Japan against Taiwan,

0:37:11.480 --> 0:37:14.200
<v Speaker 11>I just know the level of intensity that they will have,

0:37:15.880 --> 0:37:19.759
<v Speaker 11>and so it's more just making sure the work up

0:37:19.800 --> 0:37:22.680
<v Speaker 11>to this point that we're putting them in the best

0:37:22.719 --> 0:37:26.959
<v Speaker 11>positions to go take on that kind of intense atmosphere.

0:37:28.040 --> 0:37:31.839
<v Speaker 11>And then obviously the build up with Yoshinobu and where

0:37:31.840 --> 0:37:33.759
<v Speaker 11>he's at pitch count wise. What we're able to get

0:37:33.840 --> 0:37:35.960
<v Speaker 11>him to here will help inform a little bit of

0:37:36.320 --> 0:37:40.359
<v Speaker 11>you know, what that workload looks like. But so it's

0:37:40.400 --> 0:37:42.560
<v Speaker 11>more about just the work going in.

0:37:43.200 --> 0:37:43.319
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:37:43.560 --> 0:37:45.799
<v Speaker 11>It is impossible to tell those guys to dial it

0:37:45.880 --> 0:37:48.080
<v Speaker 11>back into any way, and nor would I do that.

0:37:48.239 --> 0:37:52.000
<v Speaker 11>We've talked to Samurai Japan, We've talked to Show. Hey,

0:37:52.520 --> 0:37:54.120
<v Speaker 11>I think everyone understands.

0:37:54.400 --> 0:37:57.920
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, and Andrew was cut off by some over Zeliz

0:37:58.040 --> 0:38:02.360
<v Speaker 10>California Post columnist trying to take over the press conference,

0:38:02.440 --> 0:38:08.000
<v Speaker 10>but nonetheless, Dave Roberts. Nonetheless, Dave Roberts kind of laid

0:38:08.000 --> 0:38:10.520
<v Speaker 10>out the plan for those two guys before they leave.

0:38:10.560 --> 0:38:14.960
<v Speaker 10>Otani and Yamamoto did face hitters today. Otani will not

0:38:15.160 --> 0:38:18.880
<v Speaker 10>pitch in a Cactus League game before he leaves for

0:38:19.000 --> 0:38:22.719
<v Speaker 10>Team Japan. Andrew Friedman said that once he returns, they're

0:38:22.760 --> 0:38:27.239
<v Speaker 10>planning on having Otani pitch in the Freeway Series. Yam Mamoto,

0:38:27.360 --> 0:38:30.520
<v Speaker 10>the plan for him is to pitch in a Cactus

0:38:30.560 --> 0:38:34.240
<v Speaker 10>League game before he does leave for Team Japan's training camp.

0:38:35.000 --> 0:38:38.000
<v Speaker 3>What about t Oscar Dave, you caught up with him as.

0:38:37.920 --> 0:38:43.320
<v Speaker 10>Well, Yeah. I've been following tay Oscar all off season,

0:38:43.600 --> 0:38:47.759
<v Speaker 10>and everybody saw the work that he put in this offseason.

0:38:47.800 --> 0:38:50.480
<v Speaker 10>We've been talking about it now and today was the

0:38:50.480 --> 0:38:53.560
<v Speaker 10>first day that he actually stood in front of his

0:38:53.600 --> 0:38:57.440
<v Speaker 10>locker to answer the questions about the motivating factor to

0:38:58.080 --> 0:39:01.239
<v Speaker 10>basically transform his body, and it's noticeable.

0:39:02.120 --> 0:39:02.640
<v Speaker 3>He said.

0:39:02.680 --> 0:39:06.080
<v Speaker 10>The motivating factor though, is because he wants to be

0:39:06.120 --> 0:39:09.279
<v Speaker 10>a better outfielder and one of his goals is to

0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:11.480
<v Speaker 10>win the Gold Glove in left field.

0:39:12.440 --> 0:39:14.840
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to go home have in one of those

0:39:14.880 --> 0:39:18.600
<v Speaker 2>gold glove, been working really hard for it, and let's

0:39:18.640 --> 0:39:19.840
<v Speaker 2>see what happens this year.

0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:24.120
<v Speaker 3>Be like Mookie Betts. All right, Dave, Well, other than

0:39:24.120 --> 0:39:27.000

<v Speaker 10>and Field two, was calling me out in front of

0:39:52.960 --> 0:39:55.600
<v Speaker 10>the fans for some push ups. I said, Hey, I'll
