Speaker 4: basketball coming up at four thirty. They are in Toronto,
Speaker 4: so early one with Adam Auslin on pregame. That's going
Speaker 4: to hold through the beginning of next week as well.
Speaker 4: MLK Day on Monday, we know is the NBA from
Speaker 4: pretty much nine am Pacific all the way through late
Speaker 4: into the night, and the Clips got the midday affair
Speaker 4: out in the district. They will take on the Wizards
Speaker 4: at noon, so we'll be on after that game and
Speaker 4: postgame from Adam probably around four o'clock. And then Tuesday
Speaker 4: it'll be another two to four show as they will
Speaker 4: finish up this roadie in Chicago. So Clippers in our way,
Speaker 4: but hey, at least they've won eleven of their last
Speaker 4: thirteen and are creeping back to five hundred and just
Speaker 4: a game out of the play and at this point.
Speaker 1: Clippers in our way, but hey, but hey, thank you
Speaker 1: for just.
Speaker 4: A game out of the play in tournament.
Speaker 1: Well, we appreciate your patriotge. No matter if we're on
Speaker 1: early today, late Monday, early Tuesday, this has been scheduled.
Speaker 1: Talk on the Petrolsen Money Show on Anti seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 1: You're home with the Dodgers who just signed Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 1: Our schedule on Thursday. We are out in beautiful Irvine,
Speaker 1: California to enjoy the pregame festivities at the marketplace for
Speaker 1: Lakers Clippers. Now when the Lakers or the Clippers play,
Speaker 1: Matt a lot of people don't know this because they
Speaker 1: don't go down to South Orange County much down to Irvine.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what. That place pops off for
Speaker 1: Laker pregame, the marketplace, the whole thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like a it's like an annual holiday three
Speaker 4: times a year to four times a year. When they
Speaker 4: do this, you know, the whole city shuts down. And
Speaker 4: you're talking about a you know, massive industrial city, I
Speaker 4: mean pumping out hundreds of millions of dollars in GDP,
Speaker 4: and the whole place just shuts down for being part
Speaker 4: of Lakers part be part of it.
Speaker 1: And Tim Kats has beg publicly for a proclamation from
Speaker 1: the mayor of Irvine, so we are looking forward to that.
Speaker 1: David Vassey is going to join us next to talk
Speaker 1: about the Dodgers embarrassment of Riches signing Kyle Tucker. Many others.
Speaker 1: The woman in Chicago on social media and John Traturo's
Speaker 1: little brother in New York are vociferously angry. Apparently there's
Speaker 1: a mad charger or excuse me, Padre fan down in
Speaker 1: San Diego who is bald headed. I'm sorry for the
Speaker 1: slip of the tongue. I know It's been a sensitive
Speaker 1: week for the Chargers, although Matt did get a good
Speaker 1: question in during the press conference with Jim Harbaugh this week,
Speaker 1: and we will have that later in Lessons Learned. So
Speaker 1: if there's no insurance, insurance, anybody insurance, let's do the
Speaker 1: word of.
Speaker 2: The day, his words the word of the day.
Speaker 1: Matt, did you watch the Laker game last night? I
Speaker 1: know the answer, Nope, And I know why.
Speaker 4: I did not watched the Laker game last night.
Speaker 1: Last night, I watched the Laker game because my favorite
Speaker 1: thing in the world was happening. The Lakers were losing,
Speaker 1: and when they're losing and you know they're gonna lose,
Speaker 1: it's really fun to watch the whole thing down to
Speaker 1: stretch and watch Billy, Mack and Stu try to figure
Speaker 1: it out and talk about it, and Billy try to
Speaker 1: be positive and Stull be negative because he's old and
Speaker 1: he doesn't care, and them just ignoring when Lebron doesn't
Speaker 1: get back on defense, or just ignoring when Lebron runs
Speaker 1: the offense and they're like minus four hundred as opposed
Speaker 1: to when Luka Doncic runs the offense and their plus
Speaker 1: and of course Luca doesn't play defense either. But Eric Collins,
Speaker 1: who actually Eric Collins was one of the first villains
Speaker 1: for Vin that we had around town. When Vin stopped traveling,
Speaker 1: Eric Collins started doing the Dodger games that were east
Speaker 1: of the Rockies. Remember that Eric Collins was doing that
Speaker 1: for a long time, and then he was working at
Speaker 1: the Big Ten Network for a long time, and he
Speaker 1: works at Fox. He's one of the guys that I
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever done a game with him, but
Speaker 1: he is a play by play guy at Fox doing
Speaker 1: college football and basketball, and he's the play by play
Speaker 1: guy for the Charlotte Hornets. You are familiar with.
Speaker 4: This guy, Matt, I am familiar.
Speaker 1: Here he is on the Charlotte Hernets call. And you know,
Speaker 1: you're in LA with the Hernets, and you got LaMelo
Speaker 1: Ball out there freaking out getting his swerve on, and
Speaker 1: you're beating Douncic in front of all the producers and
Speaker 1: all the agents and all the fanfare in LA. You're
Speaker 1: probably going to be pretty excited. Eric Collins a pretty
Speaker 1: excitable broadcaster. Here he is when Ball pulled that crazy
Speaker 1: ankle breaking move on eighton Keas Hayton and the crosshairs, just.
Speaker 5: The great palls a fire, He got the switch that
Speaker 5: he wanted, four in the quarter. Look at the pall
Speaker 5: hendy right here, step back, one dribble, look at the rotation,
Speaker 5: the splash and tell them all about it.
Speaker 2: One eighteen big one.
Speaker 1: They are having a great time.
Speaker 4: That was a Howard Dean like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was pretty gigway. I mean it was that
Speaker 1: good of a play, Matt, I mean, let's hear it again.
Speaker 1: Here's Eric Collins on that on that mellow ball three.
Speaker 3: Cass Hayton in the cross hairs, just to get in there, pluck,
Speaker 3: great falls a.
Speaker 5: Fire, He got the switch that he wanted, four in
Speaker 5: the quarter.
Speaker 1: Look at the ball Hendy right here.
Speaker 5: Step back, one dribble, look at the rotation, the splash
Speaker 5: and tell them.
Speaker 1: All about it. One and that is dal Purry, This
Speaker 1: guy f Curry's dad, so very very fun there. And
Speaker 1: then you know Eric Collins, you know, wait, wait, wait wait,
Speaker 1: Now that Laker fans have gotten to see Luka Doncic,
Speaker 1: who is great. There's no doubt about it, but he is.
Speaker 1: You know, he does have a quarter by quarter dialogue
Speaker 1: going on.
Speaker 4: With the referees.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, I'm the great complainer pretude. He is very complaining,
Speaker 1: and if he doesn't get calls early in the game,
Speaker 1: he starts hunting for calls in the rest of the
Speaker 1: game and gets more and more angry and becomes distracted
Speaker 1: by the anger. And it's it's not it's not a
Speaker 1: great look all the complaining. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: anything anybody does is less annoying than what Lebron does.
Speaker 1: So I think people will forgive it in today's day
Speaker 1: and age, but not Eric Collins. He does not like
Speaker 1: the way Luca complains here he is this guy.
Speaker 2: Is a whiner.
Speaker 3: And the Hornets have a chance to make it hurt
Speaker 3: a potential foot play.
Speaker 4: This guy is a whiner.
Speaker 2: This guy is a whiner.
Speaker 3: So last night has Hayton in the cross hairs just
Speaker 3: a get.
Speaker 4: In there.
Speaker 1: Break balls of fire. Wow, yeah, play that cat. So
Speaker 1: they have this guy is a whiner. They were having
Speaker 1: a great time last night on the hernets brond this
Speaker 1: guy is a whiner, which is on K S T
Speaker 1: N g R. K Stinger.
Speaker 4: Said what it is?
Speaker 2: This guy is a whiner. This guy is a whiner.
Speaker 2: Is that is a whiner?
Speaker 1: Is one play by play guy that used to be
Speaker 1: here in town? Does he still do radio for the Hornets.
Speaker 1: Remember that guy, that play by play guy who left town?
Speaker 4: Not so I thought. I thought your guy did it
Speaker 4: for a little while.
Speaker 1: Oh Justin Kutcher.
Speaker 4: Yeah, didn't he leave the Wizards and go to the Hornets.
Speaker 1: For a second. No he did not. I don't believe so. No,
Speaker 1: it's a different guy. It's it's like a farmer.
Speaker 4: Was an update? Is he still doing radio for him?
Speaker 1: Yes, that's what I was asking. Yes he is there.
Speaker 2: You go, This guy is a wider. Yeah, it's time.
Speaker 1: For the number of the day.
Speaker 2: Here's my number number of the day.
Speaker 1: Four.
Speaker 4: I went two and three last week. Not terrible, certainly
Speaker 4: not good. This week we're looking at four zero. That's
Speaker 4: what we want. We like the points.
Speaker 1: That's what everybody. That's everybody wants to be a winner, Matt.
Speaker 4: That's what we want. I want people to want win
Speaker 4: and I want to win. Trying to win. We're taking
Speaker 4: all the points across the board. Start with the bills.
Speaker 4: Is it personal?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 4: You know how I feel about the Broncos Bonix versus
Speaker 4: Josh Allen. Come on, Sean Payton, the piece of garbage
Speaker 4: that he is, let's go with.
Speaker 1: He Excuse me? Is he a as you referred to
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, a garbage human being.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes he is, and he deserves all the bad
Speaker 4: football karma coming his way. The Bills have all the
Speaker 4: good football karma. Last season of High March Stadium there
Speaker 4: in western New York. It is the year of Josh Allen.
Speaker 4: The path is in front of him. They just knocked
Speaker 4: off what a lot of people, me included, took the
Speaker 4: Jags last week, one of my losses. Thought it was
Speaker 4: the best team in the AFC in the tournament, and
Speaker 4: they did it. How on the legs in the arm
Speaker 4: of Josh Allen. He's the best player in the postseason.
Speaker 4: It is the ultimate team sport for certain, not even
Speaker 4: on the field for half the game, but at that
Speaker 4: position it does matter. Keep it close, and Josh Alleni,
Speaker 4: with that has been sort of the mo for bo
Speaker 4: Nicks this season. He's got ten in the first two
Speaker 4: years fourth quarter come from behind wins. But the Jaguars
Speaker 4: did just hammer them in Denver. Chargers' backups held them
Speaker 4: to six points in that nineteen to three loss. Thirteen
Speaker 4: of those points came from their defense. So I will
Speaker 4: take the one and a half points in the Bills
Speaker 4: as an underdog more points. I will take the Bears
Speaker 4: as a home dog. I do envision this as Rams win.
Speaker 4: Bears cover tight game. Rams are a better team, better offense, certainly,
Speaker 4: better defense, better coach, better quarterback.
Speaker 1: How do you factor in the disrespect from Ben Johnson
Speaker 1: right to the Packers and the people that are connected
Speaker 1: with the Packers through the Rams.
Speaker 4: I did see our friend Lindsey Theory post that she
Speaker 4: was the one that asked the question from Sean McVay
Speaker 4: of Sean McVay where he gave the sly answer, Yeah,
Speaker 4: of you know, Matt and I we're really good friends,
Speaker 4: and yeah, we talk all the time, and you know,
Speaker 4: maybe yeah, uh uh, maybe we did talk a little
Speaker 4: bit this week. Okay, Ben Johnson Sean McVay. More importantly
Speaker 4: than their relationship with Matt Lafleur, we're the two top
Speaker 4: producers of explosive plays this season. It's there for Caleb
Speaker 4: in his second year Johnson in his first. The Ram
Speaker 4: secondary is the one spot that is suspect Dj Moore,
Speaker 4: Roma Doonze, Luther Burden, Colston Lovelin. Ben Johnson has got
Speaker 4: the weapons to work with. That is a lot to
Speaker 4: deal with. Game's gonna kick off at five thirty in
Speaker 4: Chicago's sun is setting temperatures say feels like seven when
Speaker 4: the wind is whipping, feels like negative three degrees, which
Speaker 4: is why it's kind of wild that they got it
Speaker 4: at forty and a half for over under. That's what
Speaker 4: the odds makers think of these defenses against these two
Speaker 4: incredibly talented play callers as head coaches. So instead of
Speaker 4: taking the number and the under, I'm gonna get the
Speaker 4: Bears and take the four and a half points, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna take the Texans plus three over. The Patriots love
Speaker 4: the future.
Speaker 1: Spens that Texans defense is great. That's what they say.
Speaker 4: That's what they say. It is the best unit left
Speaker 4: in the postseason. There is nothing as good as the
Speaker 4: Texans defense. They outscored Pittsburgh. Literally, the defense outscored Pittsburgh
Speaker 4: twelve to six, two defensive touchdowns. You saw the problems
Speaker 4: the Chargers defense. Dave Drake may six points and a
Speaker 4: quarterback rating of thirty six in the first half with
Speaker 4: an interception and a lost fumble. Offense couldn't back them up.
Speaker 4: Both's defense is good. Texans is historic, like the best
Speaker 4: statistically we've seen in at least ten years. That is
Speaker 4: how good they are. So I will take the three
Speaker 4: figure at worse, maybe they lose a game twelve to
Speaker 4: ten or something like that. Finally, I'm gonna take the
Speaker 4: forty nine ers in the points. Winning in Philadelphia showed
Speaker 4: us something. Well, they beat Seattle, I doubt it, but
Speaker 4: I don't think I want to lay a touchdown. Even
Speaker 4: without George Kittle. Christian McCaffrey good enough to keep this
Speaker 4: thing interesting. They only allowed thirteen to Seattle in Week eighteen.
Speaker 4: They beat him seventeen thirteen in Week one, so again
Speaker 4: could see Seattle winning but not covering a full touchdown.
Speaker 4: So I will take all the dogs. Not likely, but
Speaker 4: I think, as Colin Toward says when he says something stupid,
Speaker 4: hey it's something.
Speaker 1: That's a good out.
Speaker 4: Hey, what's something Let me tell you about this. You know,
Speaker 4: I could see the Pittsburgh Steelers trading six of their
Speaker 4: draft picks to go get Ty Simpson.
Speaker 1: What it's something that is something, Roddie, give us something.
Speaker 1: The song of the day.
Speaker 2: This is the song of the day.
Speaker 6: Today's song of the Day is Momentum from singers, songwriter
Speaker 6: and musician Amy Mann. Because the Petrosen Money Show is
Speaker 6: hijacked the middaytime slot on a frog Man Friday, carrying
Speaker 6: the momentum of a two and a half hour flex
Speaker 6: alert right into Clippers Basketball, who are all of a
Speaker 6: sudden one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Who
Speaker 6: knew having won four straight and hoping to carry that
Speaker 6: momentum into Canada against the Raptors. It's was it Scotia
Speaker 6: Bank Arena in Toronto, and our good friend Adam Oslin
Speaker 6: will bring his momentum to try to bring you that
Speaker 6: Clippers countdown show that begins at three point thirty?
Speaker 1: Are you Ronning joining us? Next we'll be David Masse
Speaker 1: for more Dodger ball washing?
Speaker 2: Can you stand it?
Speaker 1: The Way the Rich get Rich?
Speaker 4: Again?
Speaker 2: Southern California's most listened to sports talk show, This is
Speaker 2: Money on Demand.
Speaker 4: We're off at three thirty tonight and again Marcter Calendars.
Speaker 4: It's a week from yesterday, January twenty second, Thursday, We'll
Speaker 4: be in Irvine at the BJ's Restaurant in brew House
Speaker 4: three to six pm and grand prize giveaway Westinghouse fifty
Speaker 4: eight inch Zoomo TV giveaway on site raffle ticket style
Speaker 4: so set your schedules. Three to six. Irvine is coming Thursday,
Speaker 4: January twenty second.
Speaker 1: From three to six, the accolades keep on pouring in
Speaker 1: like gold coins into the vault of Scrooge McDuck. And
Speaker 1: diving into those gold coins is David Vess.
Speaker 2: Oh, somebody who was barbecuing.
Speaker 1: He said, Oh, Lord Jesus is a fun on the
Speaker 1: stove talk and then the smoke gat me.
Speaker 2: I got brun Karl saying every off.
Speaker 1: Swat Tuesday he picks up the best Show of the
Speaker 1: Year award from the Southern California Sports Broadcasters is a
Speaker 1: hero in front of his father in law. And then
Speaker 1: Thursday he breaks contract detail news on radio on Dodger
Speaker 1: Talk where it's meant to be broken, to the many
Speaker 1: Dodger fans regurgitating the information into their mouths like a
Speaker 1: mother penguin. The Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker, and David Vasse
Speaker 1: remains atop the baseball reporter Ant Hill at the Real
Speaker 1: Underscore dv MLB network. You can see him there today
Speaker 1: Spectrum Sports and at LA. You can see him there
Speaker 1: all the time on your Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity
Speaker 1: Hotline Hello, Dave.
Speaker 7: Hi, guys, Yes, I feel like I've spent my morning
Speaker 7: being the voice of reason around Major League Baseball when
Speaker 7: you have small market guys like Jeff Passing crying for
Speaker 7: the small market teams out there being their mouthpiece, while
Speaker 7: you know there are a lot of small market teams
Speaker 7: that even got to the NLCS, like the Milwaukee Brewers
Speaker 7: last year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Dave, the quote really bothered me because he said
Speaker 4: the players feel like they don't have a chance. I
Speaker 4: find that almost impossible to believe when the Indians, the Brewers,
Speaker 4: and the Reds all made the postseason last year. Like,
Speaker 4: that's just an asinine statement to make to.
Speaker 7: Me, Matt, how many players text him what he said?
Speaker 1: They did?
Speaker 5: He?
Speaker 7: Jeff Passen said on McAfee today that he got texts
Speaker 7: from players how do we beat the Dodgers? I mean,
Speaker 7: that's just a rhetorical question. If you look back the
Speaker 7: last two years, the Padres were one win away from
Speaker 7: sending the Dodgers home in the NLDS, the Phillies were
Speaker 7: one bad throwaway from forcing a Game five in the NLDS,
Speaker 7: and the Blue Jays were two outs away from winning
Speaker 7: the World Series. So there are a lot of teams
Speaker 7: that don't have sho Hao Tani and Freddie Freeman and
Speaker 7: now Kyle Tucker that almost beat the Dodgers. And oh,
Speaker 7: by the way, who had the best record in the
Speaker 7: National League last year? It was the old Milwaukee Brewers.
Speaker 7: So to me, that's such a condescending comment by a
Speaker 7: guy that is the national voice of baseball when it
Speaker 7: comes to information.
Speaker 1: What was the vibe like on the National Network of
Speaker 1: Baseball when it comes to information the MLB Network, Dave,
Speaker 1: Were they negatively slanted or did they celebrate this for
Speaker 1: what we believe it is.
Speaker 7: I feel like there was a little bit more fair
Speaker 7: and balanced Petros. But the reality is is outside of
Speaker 7: Los Angeles, nobody is happy the Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 7: But here's the kicker. Here is the kicker. The signing
Speaker 7: of Tucker and Diaz is not going to increase the Dodgers' payroll,
Speaker 7: not much more than last year because they shed significant
Speaker 7: payroll this past offseason as well. And what's not going
Speaker 7: to change even if you bring in a salary cap,
Speaker 7: like so many emotional baseball talking heads are saying today,
Speaker 7: I'm not going to change the fact that Shohotani signed
Speaker 7: a seven hundred million dollar contract and each of the
Speaker 7: next ten years is deferring sixty eight million dollars of
Speaker 7: his annual seventy million annually, and the Dodgers are only
Speaker 7: on the books for two million dollars a year. That's
Speaker 7: what everybody is failing to realize. Otani, if he was
Speaker 7: going to sign with the Blue Jays or the Dodgers,
Speaker 7: was doing that team a huge favor by accepting sixty
Speaker 7: eight million dollars annually to be deferred with the intention
Speaker 7: of what the Dodgers have done is to reinvest those
Speaker 7: dollars to try to help him win a World Series championship.
Speaker 7: Nothing is going to change that. Otani and the Dodgers
Speaker 7: have been three steps ahead of everybody the day that
Speaker 7: contract was signed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Dave, I think I read the Dodgers are actually
Speaker 4: six or seven million dollar under where they were at
Speaker 4: the end of last year. So and again, the Mets
Speaker 4: spent more money than the Dodgers last year and couldn't
Speaker 4: even figure out how to get into the freaking postseason.
Speaker 4: So spending money isn't necessarily.
Speaker 7: Breaks that right. And it was the Mets that were
Speaker 7: going to be willing to pay Kyle Tucker fifty five
Speaker 7: million dollars. The Dodgers said, okay, how about five million more?
Speaker 7: So the Mets had been spending just as much as
Speaker 7: the Dodgers, but they just haven't spent it wisely. So
Speaker 7: you're one hundred percent accurate. When do you say that?
Speaker 7: Even more so than just passing?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Where at passing? And you're stupid Kansas City bs. The
Speaker 4: the one like this, to me, Dave is is a
Speaker 4: huge like, this is a big deal for the Dodgers
Speaker 4: with Kyle Tucker because this is what they want to do.
Speaker 4: They want to do four years and a heck of
Speaker 4: a lot more money in your pocket if they can
Speaker 4: get this thing to work out and Talker plays great
Speaker 4: for these two years. We heard you break it on
Speaker 4: the air last night. You had the contract details, the
Speaker 4: opt out after year two and year three. Then hopefully
Speaker 4: that encourages other players to do the same. Had Bryce
Speaker 4: Harper done it, he wouldn't be on the hook for
Speaker 4: thirteen years. He'd probably be on the hook for the
Speaker 4: same amount of money for like eight or nine. And
Speaker 4: if this thing works out, I would assume that's really
Speaker 4: good for the Dodgers, because this is what they would
Speaker 4: prefer to do right.
Speaker 7: You're right. The Dodgers shot baseball when reports started to
Speaker 7: come out they were doing something or offering something similar
Speaker 7: to Bryce Harper before he was able to sign that
Speaker 7: long term deal with the Phillies, and from what I understand,
Speaker 7: Harper gave it a long look. It was interesting to
Speaker 7: him at the time, but instead decided that he wanted
Speaker 7: to be invested in a city and not move again.
Speaker 7: Not so sure about that with Kyle Tucker. He has
Speaker 7: no roots in Chicago. How much of the roots is
Speaker 7: he going to plan in la He can opt out
Speaker 7: after the second year. So it's good for the Dodgers
Speaker 7: and it's good for Kyle Tucker because the Bluejays offer
Speaker 7: bring him ten years, three hundred million dollars while him
Speaker 7: signing this short term contract for two hundred and forty
Speaker 7: million dollars. If he stays all four years, if he's
Speaker 7: as good as he believes that he is, you're telling
Speaker 7: me he can't go back out on the market even
Speaker 7: four years from now and get at least one hundred
Speaker 7: million dollars more. If he can't, this would not have
Speaker 7: been a good four years for Kyle Tucker and the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: What about how he fits in personality wise on the team.
Speaker 1: You know there's been talk, you know, you referenced it
Speaker 1: that he's maybe not that big of a seam head.
Speaker 1: How does he fit in on a team where he
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be the biggest star.
Speaker 7: Well, I'll want up Jeff passing with the text I
Speaker 7: got from a player, a prominent player in baseball, and
Speaker 7: he texts me that Kyle Tucker is the highest paid
Speaker 7: robin in baseball because that's who he is. He's not
Speaker 7: a guy that wants to be in the forefront, and
Speaker 7: he doesn't have to be. There's an argument to be
Speaker 7: made that he he's the fourth or fifth guy on
Speaker 7: this team, So I think that appealed to him as well.
Speaker 7: He's a low energy guy and we'll see how he
Speaker 7: fits in the clubhouse. I feel like that's the only
Speaker 7: question is how is he going to fit into the clubhouse? Well,
Speaker 7: the Dodger culture that they've created permeate Tucker, and I
Speaker 7: feel like for him to be on this team, he's
Speaker 7: going to have to go along with it or he's
Speaker 7: going to be on the outside looking in. He's very talented,
Speaker 7: but the only question is how is he going to
Speaker 7: fit in, and look, if he doesn't fit in, it's
Speaker 7: not going to be that long of a time that
Speaker 7: he's here in La.
Speaker 4: Made thirty three million bucks in his career. Tomorrow he
Speaker 4: turns twenty nine and he will celebrate with a guaranteed
Speaker 4: two hundred and forty million dollars over four years to
Speaker 4: play for the two time defending world champion Dodgers. So
Speaker 4: why do they do the deal? Dave? If you know
Speaker 4: there are those questions if he's a robin not a bet,
Speaker 4: but everybody seemed to suggest that this was the best
Speaker 4: for agent on the market. So what is it you
Speaker 4: know that they are getting that there is worth sixty
Speaker 4: million bucks a year on a four year deal.
Speaker 7: Well, last year, all summer we talked about how poor
Speaker 7: the Dodger outfield defense was. Kyle Tucker answers two issues
Speaker 7: for the Dodgers from last year. Number One, defense, he'll
Speaker 7: be a better right fielder than Taoscar Hernandez and ta
Speaker 7: Oscar Hernandez in twenty four was a much better left
Speaker 7: fielder than he was a right fielder, and that's where
Speaker 7: he flourished in his first year with the Dodgers. So
Speaker 7: he makes the Dodgers outfield defense better. And he also
Speaker 7: makes the Dodger outfield offense better because, as you guys
Speaker 7: are aware, they got virtually nothing out of Michael Conforto.
Speaker 7: Taoscar Hernandez was not the same offensive player after he
Speaker 7: injured his groin in June. Andy Paz was the only
Speaker 7: guy really doing much of anything defensively and offensively in
Speaker 7: the outfield. So Drue Freeman made it very clear in
Speaker 7: the onset of this offseason that he was not happy
Speaker 7: with the Dodgers' offensive production the second half of last
Speaker 7: year and going into the postseason where they scored twenty
Speaker 7: five runs less than their run to the championship in
Speaker 7: twenty four And also another layer to this is if
Speaker 7: you look out to the next two free agent classes,
Speaker 7: there's really nobody that makes an offensive impact position player wise.
Speaker 7: So this was kind of the last guy that can
Speaker 7: make a difference if you signed him and he's able
Speaker 7: to be as good as he was in Houston.
Speaker 1: What about Bishett Dave? How big of a deal is that?
Speaker 1: Does that make the Mets that much better? Is Cohen
Speaker 1: laughing at the Dodgers Today?
Speaker 7: A lot of people are saying that it was a
Speaker 7: grasp at the leftovers by what the Mets did, and
Speaker 7: you got Bob Ningel reported that the Phillies saw they
Speaker 7: had the shed for a long term contract seven years,
Speaker 7: two hundred million dollars until the Mets came in with
Speaker 7: these three years and for Bishet smart contract for him
Speaker 7: because he can opt out after one year. And like
Speaker 7: I just mentioned, next year's free agent class is Trek
Speaker 7: Skoogle and a whole lot of nothing offensively, So he
Speaker 7: can go back out on the market and get a
Speaker 7: big contract because he'll be the premier position player in
Speaker 7: next year's free agent class.
Speaker 4: Cool Dodgers can sign him to a three year deal.
Speaker 4: That'll be great. Dave, enjoy your tour of puffing out
Speaker 4: your chest, celebrating the Dodgers and disparaging Jeff Passon who
Speaker 4: says players don't know how to beat the Dodgers, which
Speaker 4: is humiliating, embarrassing, and should never come off the lips
Speaker 4: of baseball supposed number one insider when doing interviews. We
Speaker 4: appreciate it. Congratulations on breaking the new night that nobody
Speaker 4: seemed to acknowledge that you were the guy who had
Speaker 4: the details first, but we certainly appreciate you.
Speaker 7: Here Dave, Thank you, guys. I appreciate it, and yeah,
Speaker 7: I just feel like it's dja vou where everybody's so
Speaker 7: emotional and they feel like the sports should shut down.
Speaker 7: Couldn't be further from the truth. Baseball is in a
Speaker 7: great place and there's a lot of teams that will
Speaker 7: compete with the Dodgers, like the Brewers, the Phillies and
Speaker 7: the Blue Jays did a year ago.

Speaker 4: Happy would have been one hundred and twenty eighth to
Speaker 4: Margaret Booth, there is a reason why there is an
Speaker 4: oscar given out for editing. It is incredibly important to
Speaker 4: put it into perspective.
Speaker 1: I mean, how important, not as important as the freedom
Speaker 1: trade award, but important.
Speaker 4: Important, Yes, not that important, but important. For instance, First Blood,
Speaker 4: it was like a three hour movie before the editors
Speaker 4: got their hands on it and turned it into a
Speaker 4: freaking masterpiece. So we get into old Margie here. All
Speaker 4: he wanted was some food and influential American film editor
Speaker 4: studio executive who played a major role in shaping Hollywood
Speaker 4: during its golden age. Born in Los Angeles, grew up
Speaker 4: when the film industry was kind of just getting rolling,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 4: Over the course of her sixty year career pee no, no,
Speaker 4: all right for Hollywood, she became one of the most
Speaker 4: respected figures in the industry in town helped define the
Speaker 4: standards of professional film editing. She started working for B. W. Griffith,
Speaker 4: one of the pioneers of early filmmaking, as a negative cutter,
Speaker 4: which is what you would think. It is, physically cutting
Speaker 4: and assembling strips of film, and she was really good
Speaker 4: at it. Her attention to detail work ethic quickly set
Speaker 4: her apart from other negative cutters. You're not a cutter,
Speaker 4: I'm a cutter, okay. She soon moved into editing. Nineteen twenties,
Speaker 4: Booth joined MGM. She edited a crap Ton of successful films, dramas, comedies,
Speaker 4: literary adaptations, including one of your all time favorites, p
Speaker 4: Mutiny on the Bounty.
Speaker 1: Well, let's go Frenchick Christian Helen gully Ryde.

Speaker 1: It was her bill, This is really the editor's editor.
Speaker 1: There's the musicians, musician, the drummers, drummer, the guitar player
Speaker 1: that your favorite guitar player loves.
Speaker 4: Exactly right. She basically schooled Hollywood on how editors could
Speaker 4: improve their films by tightening scenes, improving pacing, ensuring clarity
Speaker 4: and storytelling. Her opinions were highly valued, and director's producers
Speaker 4: regularly fought for her to be their editor. Of course,
Speaker 4: a woman at a time when few women held executive
Speaker 4: positions in Highywood, but she was just so goddamn good
Speaker 4: that she was an executive, was in high demand and
Speaker 4: earned widespread respect in what was, of course, in the
Speaker 4: thirties forties, a male dominated industry. Her professional standards for
Speaker 4: editing are still in effect today, not just a technical
Speaker 4: task but a vital part of storytelling that would shape
Speaker 4: a film's emotional impact and success. She did receive the
Speaker 4: Honorary Academy Award in nineteen seventy eight, and talk about longevity.
Speaker 4: She died in two thousand and two p at the
Speaker 4: age of one hundred and four. Nineteen eighty two Village
Speaker 4: Voice article described her as quote the final authority of
Speaker 4: every picture MGM made for thirty years period. In her
Speaker 4: obit in The Guardian, it read a pioneer of the
Speaker 4: so called invisible cutting, the aim of which was to
Speaker 4: make transitions from one image to another as seamless as possible,
Speaker 4: the audience unaware of the flow of shots within a sequence.
Speaker 4: Narrative dominant, she maintained continuity of time and space. She
Speaker 4: maged cuts into action Happy one twenty eighth Margaret.
