No matter if we're on 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:06.840 early today, late Monday, early Tuesday, this has been scheduled. 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:10.000 Talk on the Petrolsen Money Show on Anti seventy LA Sports. 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.320 You're home with the Dodgers who just signed Kyle Tucker. 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:17.600 Our schedule on Thursday. We are out in beautiful Irvine, 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:24.080 California to enjoy the pregame festivities at the marketplace for 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.119 Lakers Clippers. Now when the Lakers or the Clippers play, 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:28.840 Matt a lot of people don't know this because they 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.639 don't go down to South Orange County much down to Irvine. 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:36.720 But I'll tell you what. That place pops off for 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:38.960 Laker pregame, the marketplace, the whole thing. 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:43.320 Yeah, it's like a it's like an annual holiday three 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:45.240 times a year to four times a year. When they 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.160 do this, you know, the whole city shuts down. And 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:51.760 you're talking about a you know, massive industrial city, I 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.360 mean pumping out hundreds of millions of dollars in GDP, 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.480 and the whole place just shuts down for being part 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.440 of Lakers part be part of it. 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:04.320 And Tim Kats has beg publicly for a proclamation from 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:07.280 the mayor of Irvine, so we are looking forward to that. 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.399 David Vassey is going to join us next to talk 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:16.160 about the Dodgers embarrassment of Riches signing Kyle Tucker. Many others. 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:20.240 The woman in Chicago on social media and John Traturo's 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:25.280 little brother in New York are vociferously angry. Apparently there's 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.560 a mad charger or excuse me, Padre fan down in 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.600 San Diego who is bald headed. I'm sorry for the 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:33.480 slip of the tongue. I know It's been a sensitive 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:37.000 week for the Chargers, although Matt did get a good 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:40.520 question in during the press conference with Jim Harbaugh this week, 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.720 and we will have that later in Lessons Learned. So 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:50.480 if there's no insurance, insurance, anybody insurance, let's do the 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:50.880 word of. 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:55.440 The day, his words the word of the day. 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.080 Matt, did you watch the Laker game last night? I 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:02.560 know the answer, Nope, And I know why. 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.080 I did not watched the Laker game last night. 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.440 Last night, I watched the Laker game because my favorite 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.360 thing in the world was happening. The Lakers were losing, 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.760 and when they're losing and you know they're gonna lose, 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.120 it's really fun to watch the whole thing down to 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.839 stretch and watch Billy, Mack and Stu try to figure 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.159 it out and talk about it, and Billy try to 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.120 be positive and Stull be negative because he's old and 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:31.360 he doesn't care, and them just ignoring when Lebron doesn't 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:35.400 get back on defense, or just ignoring when Lebron runs 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.560 the offense and they're like minus four hundred as opposed 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.880 to when Luka Doncic runs the offense and their plus 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:47.400 and of course Luca doesn't play defense either. But Eric Collins, 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:51.480 who actually Eric Collins was one of the first villains 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:56.159 for Vin that we had around town. When Vin stopped traveling, 0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:01.040 Eric Collins started doing the Dodger games that were east 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.360 of the Rockies. Remember that Eric Collins was doing that 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.640 for a long time, and then he was working at 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.080 the Big Ten Network for a long time, and he 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.440 works at Fox. He's one of the guys that I 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.039 don't think I've ever done a game with him, but 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:16.839 he is a play by play guy at Fox doing 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:21.480 college football and basketball, and he's the play by play 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.440 guy for the Charlotte Hornets. You are familiar with. 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.040 This guy, Matt, I am familiar. 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:29.760 Here he is on the Charlotte Hernets call. And you know, 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.880 you're in LA with the Hernets, and you got LaMelo 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:37.279 Ball out there freaking out getting his swerve on, and 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.560 you're beating Douncic in front of all the producers and 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:44.000 all the agents and all the fanfare in LA. You're 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:47.279 probably going to be pretty excited. Eric Collins a pretty 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:51.800 excitable broadcaster. Here he is when Ball pulled that crazy 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:58.120 ankle breaking move on eighton Keas Hayton and the crosshairs, just. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:06.480 The great palls a fire, He got the switch that 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.480 he wanted, four in the quarter. Look at the pall 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:14.839 hendy right here, step back, one dribble, look at the rotation, 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.640 the splash and tell them all about it. 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.720 One eighteen big one. 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:22.919 They are having a great time. 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:24.880 That was a Howard Dean like. 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.760 Yeah, he was pretty gigway. I mean it was that 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.080 good of a play, Matt, I mean, let's hear it again. 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.400 Here's Eric Collins on that on that mellow ball three. 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:39.679 Cass Hayton in the cross hairs, just to get in there, pluck, 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:42.400 great falls a. 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:46.680 Fire, He got the switch that he wanted, four in 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:47.279 the quarter. 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:48.640 Look at the ball Hendy right here. 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:54.560 Step back, one dribble, look at the rotation, the splash 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:55.320 and tell them. 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.840 All about it. One and that is dal Purry, This 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:03.880 guy f Curry's dad, so very very fun there. And 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.440 then you know Eric Collins, you know, wait, wait, wait wait, 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:11.080 Now that Laker fans have gotten to see Luka Doncic, 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.480 who is great. There's no doubt about it, but he is. 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:20.520 You know, he does have a quarter by quarter dialogue 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:21.040 going on. 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.840 With the referees. 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:32.120 Oh yes, I'm the great complainer pretude. He is very complaining, 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:34.800 and if he doesn't get calls early in the game, 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.880 he starts hunting for calls in the rest of the 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:41.640 game and gets more and more angry and becomes distracted 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.400 by the anger. And it's it's not it's not a 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.760 great look all the complaining. But at the same time, 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.560 anything anybody does is less annoying than what Lebron does. 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.240 So I think people will forgive it in today's day 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.400 and age, but not Eric Collins. He does not like 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.720 the way Luca complains here he is this guy. 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:03.080 Is a whiner. 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.200 And the Hornets have a chance to make it hurt 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:07.880 a potential foot play. 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:10.760 This guy is a whiner. 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.000 This guy is a whiner. 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.760 So last night has Hayton in the cross hairs just 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:21.960 a get. 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:22.280 In there. 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:35.480 Break balls of fire. Wow, yeah, play that cat. So 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:42.720 they have this guy is a whiner. They were having 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.160 a great time last night on the hernets brond this 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.679 guy is a whiner, which is on K S T 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.040 N g R. K Stinger. 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:53.960 Said what it is? 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:58.040 This guy is a whiner. This guy is a whiner. 0:08:58.200 --> 0:08:59.679 Is that is a whiner? 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:01.760 Is one play by play guy that used to be 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.960 here in town? Does he still do radio for the Hornets. 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.320 Remember that guy, that play by play guy who left town? 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.800 Not so I thought. I thought your guy did it 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:15.640 for a little while. 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:18.240 Oh Justin Kutcher. 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.959 Yeah, didn't he leave the Wizards and go to the Hornets. 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.720 For a second. No he did not. I don't believe so. No, 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.679 it's a different guy. It's it's like a farmer. 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.640 Was an update? Is he still doing radio for him? 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:31.520 Yes, that's what I was asking. Yes he is there. 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:36.880 You go, This guy is a wider. Yeah, it's time. 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.040 For the number of the day. 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:45.000 Here's my number number of the day. 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:45.240 Four. 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.840 I went two and three last week. Not terrible, certainly 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.839 not good. This week we're looking at four zero. That's 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.679 what we want. We like the points. 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.439 That's what everybody. That's everybody wants to be a winner, Matt. 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.320 That's what we want. I want people to want win 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:03.960 and I want to win. Trying to win. We're taking 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.640 all the points across the board. Start with the bills. 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:08.560 Is it personal? 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:08.959 Sure? 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:13.000 You know how I feel about the Broncos Bonix versus 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.560 Josh Allen. Come on, Sean Payton, the piece of garbage 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.360 that he is, let's go with. 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.680 He Excuse me? Is he a as you referred to 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.160 earlier in the week, a garbage human being. 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:29.160 Yes, yes he is, and he deserves all the bad 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.839 football karma coming his way. The Bills have all the 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.640 good football karma. Last season of High March Stadium there 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.440 in western New York. It is the year of Josh Allen. 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.199 The path is in front of him. They just knocked 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.040 off what a lot of people, me included, took the 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:44.880 Jags last week, one of my losses. Thought it was 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.560 the best team in the AFC in the tournament, and 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.920 they did it. How on the legs in the arm 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.160 of Josh Allen. He's the best player in the postseason. 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.760 It is the ultimate team sport for certain, not even 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:58.120 on the field for half the game, but at that 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:01.200 position it does matter. Keep it close, and Josh Alleni, 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:03.760 with that has been sort of the mo for bo 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.199 Nicks this season. He's got ten in the first two 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.520 years fourth quarter come from behind wins. But the Jaguars 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.320 did just hammer them in Denver. Chargers' backups held them 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.760 to six points in that nineteen to three loss. Thirteen 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:18.400 of those points came from their defense. So I will 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.000 take the one and a half points in the Bills 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.960 as an underdog more points. I will take the Bears 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:29.079 as a home dog. I do envision this as Rams win. 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:35.199 Bears cover tight game. Rams are a better team, better offense, certainly, 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.400 better defense, better coach, better quarterback. 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:42.000 How do you factor in the disrespect from Ben Johnson 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:46.640 right to the Packers and the people that are connected 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.080 with the Packers through the Rams. 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:52.760 I did see our friend Lindsey Theory post that she 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.839 was the one that asked the question from Sean McVay 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.760 of Sean McVay where he gave the sly answer, Yeah, 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.000 of you know, Matt and I we're really good friends, 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:03.880 and yeah, we talk all the time, and you know, 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.040 maybe yeah, uh uh, maybe we did talk a little 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:12.000 bit this week. Okay, Ben Johnson Sean McVay. More importantly 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:16.080 than their relationship with Matt Lafleur, we're the two top 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:20.080 producers of explosive plays this season. It's there for Caleb 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.240 in his second year Johnson in his first. The Ram 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.440 secondary is the one spot that is suspect Dj Moore, 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.839 Roma Doonze, Luther Burden, Colston Lovelin. Ben Johnson has got 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:30.800 the weapons to work with. That is a lot to 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.599 deal with. Game's gonna kick off at five thirty in 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:37.680 Chicago's sun is setting temperatures say feels like seven when 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:41.400 the wind is whipping, feels like negative three degrees, which 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:42.880 is why it's kind of wild that they got it 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.800 at forty and a half for over under. That's what 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.720 the odds makers think of these defenses against these two 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:53.319 incredibly talented play callers as head coaches. So instead of 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.559 taking the number and the under, I'm gonna get the 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.600 Bears and take the four and a half points, I'm 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:02.160 gonna take the Texans plus three over. The Patriots love 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:03.000 the future. 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.640 Spens that Texans defense is great. That's what they say. 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.120 That's what they say. It is the best unit left 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:13.000 in the postseason. There is nothing as good as the 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:18.080 Texans defense. They outscored Pittsburgh. Literally, the defense outscored Pittsburgh 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:22.640 twelve to six, two defensive touchdowns. You saw the problems 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.599 the Chargers defense. Dave Drake may six points and a 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.880 quarterback rating of thirty six in the first half with 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:31.480 an interception and a lost fumble. Offense couldn't back them up. 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:35.760 Both's defense is good. Texans is historic, like the best 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.280 statistically we've seen in at least ten years. That is 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.000 how good they are. So I will take the three 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:42.640 figure at worse, maybe they lose a game twelve to 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:44.480 ten or something like that. Finally, I'm gonna take the 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.840 forty nine ers in the points. Winning in Philadelphia showed 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.360 us something. Well, they beat Seattle, I doubt it, but 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.360 I don't think I want to lay a touchdown. Even 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.880 without George Kittle. Christian McCaffrey good enough to keep this 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.400 thing interesting. They only allowed thirteen to Seattle in Week eighteen. 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:04.600 They beat him seventeen thirteen in Week one, so again 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.680 could see Seattle winning but not covering a full touchdown. 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:12.640 So I will take all the dogs. Not likely, but 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:15.320 I think, as Colin Toward says when he says something stupid, 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:16.640 hey it's something. 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:20.240 That's a good out. 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:24.240 Hey, what's something Let me tell you about this. You know, 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.280 I could see the Pittsburgh Steelers trading six of their 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.200 draft picks to go get Ty Simpson. 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:34.920 What it's something that is something, Roddie, give us something. 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.200 The song of the day. 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:43.200 This is the song of the day. 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:47.880 Today's song of the Day is Momentum from singers, songwriter 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:52.280 and musician Amy Mann. Because the Petrosen Money Show is 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:56.960 hijacked the middaytime slot on a frog Man Friday, carrying 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.600 the momentum of a two and a half hour flex 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.880 alert right into Clippers Basketball, who are all of a 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:05.680 sudden one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Who 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:09.520 knew having won four straight and hoping to carry that 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:14.240 momentum into Canada against the Raptors. It's was it Scotia 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:17.800 Bank Arena in Toronto, and our good friend Adam Oslin 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.640 will bring his momentum to try to bring you that 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:24.640 Clippers countdown show that begins at three point thirty? 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:30.880 Are you Ronning joining us?

Three to six. Irvine is coming Thursday, 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:09.960 January twenty second. 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:15.120 From three to six, the accolades keep on pouring in 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:20.160 like gold coins into the vault of Scrooge McDuck. And 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:25.480 diving into those gold coins is David Vess. 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:27.800 Oh, somebody who was barbecuing. 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.000 He said, Oh, Lord Jesus is a fun on the 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.760 stove talk and then the smoke gat me. 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.680 I got brun Karl saying every off. 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:42.640 Swat Tuesday he picks up the best Show of the 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:47.160 Year award from the Southern California Sports Broadcasters is a 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:52.960 hero in front of his father in law. And then 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:58.240 Thursday he breaks contract detail news on radio on Dodger 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.880 Talk where it's meant to be broken, to the many 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:05.719 Dodger fans regurgitating the information into their mouths like a 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:10.439 mother penguin. The Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker, and David Vasse 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:16.320 remains atop the baseball reporter Ant Hill at the Real 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.679 Underscore dv MLB network. You can see him there today 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.679 Spectrum Sports and at LA. You can see him there 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:26.200 all the time on your Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:27.320 Hotline Hello, Dave. 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.560 Hi, guys, Yes, I feel like I've spent my morning 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:35.280 being the voice of reason around Major League Baseball when 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.960 you have small market guys like Jeff Passing crying for 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:43.560 the small market teams out there being their mouthpiece, while 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.320 you know there are a lot of small market teams 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:50.120 that even got to the NLCS, like the Milwaukee Brewers 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:50.760 last year. 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:56.680 Yeah, Dave, the quote really bothered me because he said 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.399 the players feel like they don't have a chance. I 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:04.320 find that almost impossible to believe when the Indians, the Brewers, 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:06.879 and the Reds all made the postseason last year. Like, 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.040 that's just an asinine statement to make to. 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:13.280 Me, Matt, how many players text him what he said? 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:13.880 They did? 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:14.119 He? 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:18.600 Jeff Passen said on McAfee today that he got texts 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:22.240 from players how do we beat the Dodgers? I mean, 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:26.359 that's just a rhetorical question. If you look back the 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:30.920 last two years, the Padres were one win away from 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:35.080 sending the Dodgers home in the NLDS, the Phillies were 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:39.800 one bad throwaway from forcing a Game five in the NLDS, 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:43.439 and the Blue Jays were two outs away from winning 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:47.359 the World Series. So there are a lot of teams 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:51.280 that don't have sho Hao Tani and Freddie Freeman and 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:55.120 now Kyle Tucker that almost beat the Dodgers. And oh, 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:57.680 by the way, who had the best record in the 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:01.880 National League last year? It was the old Milwaukee Brewers. 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:05.480 So to me, that's such a condescending comment by a 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:08.600 guy that is the national voice of baseball when it 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:09.639 comes to information. 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:13.280 What was the vibe like on the National Network of 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:17.440 Baseball when it comes to information the MLB Network, Dave, 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:21.960 Were they negatively slanted or did they celebrate this for 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:23.080 what we believe it is. 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:26.880 I feel like there was a little bit more fair 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:31.040 and balanced Petros. But the reality is is outside of 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:34.600 Los Angeles, nobody is happy the Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker. 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:38.880 But here's the kicker. Here is the kicker. The signing 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:43.160 of Tucker and Diaz is not going to increase the Dodgers' payroll, 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:47.760 not much more than last year because they shed significant 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:51.600 payroll this past offseason as well. And what's not going 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.720 to change even if you bring in a salary cap, 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:59.280 like so many emotional baseball talking heads are saying today, 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:03.840 I'm not going to change the fact that Shohotani signed 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:06.879 a seven hundred million dollar contract and each of the 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:10.919 next ten years is deferring sixty eight million dollars of 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:15.880 his annual seventy million annually, and the Dodgers are only 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:19.400 on the books for two million dollars a year. That's 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:25.040 what everybody is failing to realize. Otani, if he was 0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:27.639 going to sign with the Blue Jays or the Dodgers, 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:35.040 was doing that team a huge favor by accepting sixty 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.880 eight million dollars annually to be deferred with the intention 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:42.879 of what the Dodgers have done is to reinvest those 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:46.400 dollars to try to help him win a World Series championship. 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:50.560 Nothing is going to change that. Otani and the Dodgers 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:54.080 have been three steps ahead of everybody the day that 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:55.359 contract was signed. 0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:58.800 Yeah, Dave, I think I read the Dodgers are actually 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:02.120 six or seven million dollar under where they were at 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:04.960 the end of last year. So and again, the Mets 0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:07.760 spent more money than the Dodgers last year and couldn't 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.040 even figure out how to get into the freaking postseason. 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.760 So spending money isn't necessarily. 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:14.639 Breaks that right. And it was the Mets that were 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:18.720 going to be willing to pay Kyle Tucker fifty five 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:22.280 million dollars. The Dodgers said, okay, how about five million more? 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:25.960 So the Mets had been spending just as much as 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:29.040 the Dodgers, but they just haven't spent it wisely. So 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:32.320 you're one hundred percent accurate. When do you say that? 0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:34.040 Even more so than just passing? 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:35.080 Yeah? 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:37.879 Where at passing? And you're stupid Kansas City bs. The 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:41.760 the one like this, to me, Dave is is a 0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:45.600 huge like, this is a big deal for the Dodgers 0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:47.760 with Kyle Tucker because this is what they want to do. 0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:50.960 They want to do four years and a heck of 0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:53.040 a lot more money in your pocket if they can 0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:55.359 get this thing to work out and Talker plays great 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:56.879 for these two years. We heard you break it on 0:21:56.920 --> 0:21:59.359 the air last night. You had the contract details, the 0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:03.440 opt out after year two and year three. Then hopefully 0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:05.920 that encourages other players to do the same. Had Bryce 0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:07.919 Harper done it, he wouldn't be on the hook for 0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:09.800 thirteen years. He'd probably be on the hook for the 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:12.040 same amount of money for like eight or nine. And 0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:14.680 if this thing works out, I would assume that's really 0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:16.480 good for the Dodgers, because this is what they would 0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:17.320 prefer to do right. 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:23.000 You're right. The Dodgers shot baseball when reports started to 0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:26.240 come out they were doing something or offering something similar 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:29.679 to Bryce Harper before he was able to sign that 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:33.120 long term deal with the Phillies, and from what I understand, 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:35.560
