Speaker 2: expressing his opinion.
Speaker 5: Dong Mey Yukes s Petros and Money A five seventy
Speaker 5: LA Sports live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You're home
Speaker 5: of the back to back world champion Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 5: No spring training games will be played here. They will
Speaker 5: be played on the field and on the telly. But
Speaker 5: AM five seventy LA Sports will have our next Dodger
Speaker 5: game on Saturday.
Speaker 2: AA Dodgers. No, there's no Dodger games that don't get
Speaker 2: on air, and they will all be catastrophe.
Speaker 5: Now there are some that will not be on spectrum
Speaker 5: because they're on like the Apple TV or something or nationally.
Speaker 2: We at them all.
Speaker 5: But in spring training we get to choose which of
Speaker 5: these Dodger games we want a simulcast, And for whatever reason,
Speaker 5: this week we have chosen none Saturday.
Speaker 2: Though for Rogan, yeah, Saturday five oh five. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: but I believe it is the clamoring Matt for the
Speaker 2: Rogan and Rodney Show.
Speaker 5: We love all our leadens. P would just like Dodger
Speaker 5: spring training baseball a little bit more, that's all. Even
Speaker 5: when everybody's gone, Even when we're running a split squad
Speaker 5: and there's no Freddie, Will, Mookie, Tommy, Edmund, Max Muncy,
Speaker 5: it's writer Ryan that's pitching and not River.
Speaker 2: Ryan.
Speaker 5: Still gonna take that leading, Still gonna go ahead and
Speaker 5: take that leading.
Speaker 2: Well, if that's what you're gonna go ahead and do,
Speaker 2: you might as well go ahead and do it. Okay,
Speaker 2: but I don't make that We're not gonna do this
Speaker 2: has been scheduled talk. It's coming up right now after
Speaker 2: we play that. It's the top story of the day
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 5: You know something I was reading on the internet earlier,
Speaker 5: got up underneath my skin goes along these lines here,
Speaker 5: if fill in the blank, play.
Speaker 2: I don't like what anything gets under your skin a
Speaker 2: tall man. I don't like that at all. The old
Speaker 2: uh if pick a player did that, oh, the internet
Speaker 2: would milt?
Speaker 5: Or why wasn't it a big deal when they blew
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter lead? But when Lebron does it, he's
Speaker 5: the worst guy Evernet. When Lebron did it, it is endless.
Speaker 5: You can plug it into almost any NBA setting when
Speaker 5: it comes to the Lakers. And the funny thing is
Speaker 5: is for the folks that are trying to now full circle,
Speaker 5: come to the Lakers defense. This is the NBA. It
Speaker 5: speaks to the individual nature of the sport. There is
Speaker 5: a very political argument type of feel to it, a
Speaker 5: two party system approach. Don't worry about what we're doing here,
Speaker 5: imagine what they would do if they were here. Or
Speaker 5: don't worry about how we did it, because if they
Speaker 5: had done it, then think about how you would be reacting.
Speaker 5: It is just a non stop straw man argument and
Speaker 5: it's truly maddening. Now the NBA is puffing its chest
Speaker 5: a little bit because their numbers are up NBC taking
Speaker 5: the NBA away from TNT. The latest numbers say that
Speaker 5: when THEA and by the way, I'd like to point
Speaker 5: out the last three weeks the NBA has been sandwiched
Speaker 5: in between or is following a lot of Olympic coverage.
Speaker 5: So I do find the timing of their chest puffing
Speaker 5: very convenient, especially as it pertains to NBC and what
Speaker 5: was a wildly successful winner Olympic season for them.
Speaker 2: You don't think it's John Tesh.
Speaker 5: Well, they did have John Tesh show up and do
Speaker 5: the fake dribble and the round ball run, which I
Speaker 5: do appreciate.
Speaker 2: Now I'm okay with that. Do you think that's that's
Speaker 2: why the ratings are up. I could see it because
Speaker 2: NBC and Tesh. Or do you think it's because of
Speaker 2: the Olympic ski jumpers.
Speaker 5: I think it's yes. I think people want to see
Speaker 5: what that Poots looks like in that suit for them
Speaker 5: ski jumpers. I think they want to see Tesh's comb over,
Speaker 5: bouncing the air, basketball, hopping around on stage in a
Speaker 5: silk blouse, and they want to watch the NBA two
Speaker 5: point six million viewers on NBC. It is up ninety
Speaker 5: seven percent from what they had last year on TNT.
Speaker 5: But again, it's not surprising. We've got to pay for everything.
Speaker 5: All our live sports are behind a paywall now for
Speaker 5: the most part, and because NBC is free TV and
Speaker 5: TNT is cable and a lot of people are using
Speaker 5: streaming services, they've cut the core. There's no bundle anymore.
Speaker 5: TNT's probably not part of the package they have, so
Speaker 5: not all that's surprising. What I'm getting is the NBA
Speaker 5: is not dying now. It is not what Kobe Shack
Speaker 5: NBA and certainly not what Michael Jordan NBA were, but
Speaker 5: it has not continued to dry up on that vine
Speaker 5: as it had been the previous few years. ESPN and
Speaker 5: ABC are up, Amazon Prime, no surprise is down.
Speaker 2: Because the closer we get to the end of Lebron Levna,
Speaker 2: the more irrelevant Gabron lames it, the better the NBA
Speaker 2: product has to be. Well.
Speaker 5: I'm hopeful that the end of Lebron will put an
Speaker 5: end to what has become so tiresome when it comes
Speaker 5: to the NBA. I have my guy, not even a team,
Speaker 5: a guy, and I will defend him to the death.
Speaker 5: Lebron's sexuals exactly right, the two party nature of it. Well,
Speaker 5: if this were Kevin Durant, you'd be freaking out right now,
Speaker 5: And if this were picked somebody else, you'd be fart
Speaker 5: and confetti. The individuals don't belong to that look like
Speaker 5: they're all independent contractors. They all have their sect of
Speaker 5: supporters who mobilize and attack specifically when the media or
Speaker 5: an online anti player campaign begins to trend. So I
Speaker 5: don't know if that was a great fingernail sketch of
Speaker 5: where we're going with this, Maybe these details make some
Speaker 5: more sense to it. The Lakers are mediocre. They are
Speaker 5: not great, they are not awful. They're here, They're there,
Speaker 5: That's what they are. They were pretty quiet after their
Speaker 5: three game losing streak. They were humiliated by the Celtics.
Speaker 5: They lost on poorly executed final second play versus Orlando.
Speaker 5: It was a comedy of airs and missdefensive assignments to
Speaker 5: fall to the Suns again in the game's final few plays,
Speaker 5: basically foregoing good execution in the most critical moments. But hey,
Speaker 5: you take on a Golden State team that's reeling without step,
Speaker 5: you bludgeon them. On Saturday, followed by a contest that
Speaker 5: really was FATA compley more of an exhibition against the
Speaker 5: Kings the following night, and now the Lakers, all of
Speaker 5: their supporters, the assembled media, the shoulder programming, which is,
Speaker 5: I don't know, at lea least three or four well
Speaker 5: advertised podcasts are coming for you, coming for you because hey,
Speaker 5: Lebron's playing pretty well.
Speaker 2: Now, okay, well, I mean all you have to do
Speaker 2: is look at their schedule and you say, well, they're
Speaker 2: likely to win these games proom, so then we can
Speaker 2: expect prum.
Speaker 5: That's exactly right. P They point out, this was really
Speaker 5: JJ Reddick that was driving this bus yesterday. You know,
Speaker 5: I haven't had Lebron for eighteen games. Lucas missed twenty
Speaker 5: percent of the games this season. Austin Reeves has barely
Speaker 5: played in half of our contest, just thirty four. That
Speaker 5: is a combined fifty six games missed by our trio
Speaker 5: of all stars. And we're only two games back in
Speaker 5: the lost column from the three seed. And we got
Speaker 5: to take all this incoming. What about the Nuggets? Why
Speaker 5: not pick on? They're five and five in their last ten,
Speaker 5: four and seven in February, Joe gets shot just thirty
Speaker 5: percent from three They got beat by the same Warriors
Speaker 5: team the Lakers just destroyed.
Speaker 2: Why aren't you.
Speaker 5: Picking on the Nuggets. They've got the MVP of the
Speaker 5: league over there, and yet they're getting a free pass.
Speaker 5: I don't care about the Nuggets. The Nuggets are in Denver.
Speaker 5: That's up to Koa to talk about them and figure
Speaker 5: out if they want to flap their gums about Jamal
Speaker 5: Murray and they.
Speaker 2: Have sharp teeth when it comes to those.
Speaker 5: Nuggets, exactly right, or maybe they just don't care. It's
Speaker 5: very possible. One of it just Broncos year round.
Speaker 2: My man.
Speaker 5: We used to talk about the Broncos every day for
Speaker 5: hours on end, and the competition would talk about Nobody
Speaker 5: cared about the Nuggets. Nobody cared about the Abs, even
Speaker 5: when they had Joe Sackett and they were winning coach
Speaker 5: Zackic and Patrick Wall.
Speaker 2: Nobody cared. Well, Matt, I have to say, I know
Speaker 2: what you mean. I don't care about the Nuggets either.
Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't care about JJ Reddick deflections.
Speaker 2: Lebron hasn't played a full season in years. He's old.
Speaker 5: Luca complains about fouls. It's untoward and not enjoyable to watch.
Speaker 5: You Seenkic. Haven't you seen how much Jokic complains about files.
Speaker 5: But all everybody wants to do is just crown him
Speaker 5: the MVP every year. Well, yeah, because he's a really
Speaker 5: good player, and he's actually pretty fun to watch, and
Speaker 5: he's kind of a badass, and he plays really hard
Speaker 5: every single night. Oh and he does play every night
Speaker 5: as well, is the other thing he does. So maybe
Speaker 5: that's why a little bit of a tendency to act
Speaker 5: like a bitch a little bit. I'm not trying to
Speaker 5: act like a rotten I'm on Rodney Pete's side here. Well,
Speaker 5: it's okay to be on his side from time to
Speaker 5: time if you want to be. No, it's not, Uh,
Speaker 5: the Rockets. Everybody's everybody's crowning the Rockets. Now they beat
Speaker 5: the Wizards, the Magic, the Kings, and the Jazz, but
Speaker 5: they lost to the two playoff teams they played in
Speaker 5: that stretch, and yet everybody's putting a crown on them.
Speaker 5: You want to talk about Lebron not playing defense, Apparently
Speaker 5: you haven't been watching KD.
Speaker 2: That guy has played defense in a half decade. I
Speaker 2: don't care.
Speaker 5: We're not talking about the Rockets, just like we didn't
Speaker 5: talk about KD on the Suns.
Speaker 2: This is what your brother Saddana tries to pull on
Speaker 2: those jackasses in the morning. He tries to say, you
Speaker 2: guys don't know what it's like. I do NBA games,
Speaker 2: I travel around, I know what the.
Speaker 3: League is like.
Speaker 2: Is that what it's like. I sit here and talk
Speaker 2: about the Lakers, It's like, yeah because it's La.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because people barely care about the NBA as it is,
Speaker 5: and I don't give a good goddamn what Sengoon and
Speaker 5: freaking Kevin Durant are doing in Shuston. Now, if I
Speaker 5: with that guy that squeezed that chick's boobies in Boston
Speaker 5: and got fired and had to sit out a year
Speaker 5: before he was a head coach again, Doka exactly.
Speaker 2: Who's a good coach? A great coach? Now? Now listen,
Speaker 2: if I want to talk about the Middle American Conference,
Speaker 2: I'll do that right.
Speaker 5: College football is different, different animal.
Speaker 2: Now, if I want to talk about a basketball officiating,
Speaker 2: the difference between the Middle American Concert Conference reps and
Speaker 2: the Big Ten reps and how they try the MAC
Speaker 2: against the Big Ten and they get royally aft, I'll
Speaker 2: talk about that.
Speaker 5: Violence on the court, will always be welcomed on the
Speaker 5: best Rosy too.
Speaker 2: Also the basketball aggression, that's our duty.
Speaker 5: JJ Reddick has been accused of being a bad coach
Speaker 5: or doing a bad job, but everybody is quick to
Speaker 5: point out, well, such a bad job that they are
Speaker 5: two games back of the three spot right now, but
Speaker 5: they will not mention, well, yeah, but you're also two
Speaker 5: games up from the playing oh so kind of yeah,
Speaker 5: two games that way, but then there's also the two
Speaker 5: games this way thing.
Speaker 2: It feels like the Lakers are in a place where
Speaker 2: you could argue that the glass is half full or
Speaker 2: half empty.
Speaker 5: A lot of people are coming after Steve Kerr this
Speaker 5: week with Jonathan Kuminga having been traded to the Hawks,
Speaker 5: and he's lighting it up, and they're like, this guy
Speaker 5: doesn't know how to develop young talent. He lets Draymond
Speaker 5: run the team.
Speaker 2: What did he do?
Speaker 5: He inherited a near championship roster from Mark Ja signed
Speaker 5: Kevin Durant. Ever since then, it's been one issue after another.
Speaker 2: Draymond seems like the Billy Bob Thornton character in Tombstone
Speaker 2: that was ruining that bar, you know, the oriental Yes,
Speaker 2: he's just screaming, chasing out all the good business just
Speaker 2: there screaming, and everybody and wider had to go in
Speaker 2: and humble him and kick him out and pull him
Speaker 2: out by his ears.
Speaker 5: Exactly right, and throw him out. Feels like that's coming
Speaker 5: for Draymond.
Speaker 2: It feels like like he's become that what that Billy
Speaker 2: Bob guy was at the Oriental and Toombstone indeed, is
Speaker 2: what Draymond?
Speaker 5: Who is our wiader? Where might we find him? Who
Speaker 5: could it possibly be?
Speaker 2: This guy's chasing out all the classy business, comes in here, yelling,
Speaker 2: waving his gun around.
Speaker 5: JJ's the one, like we said, doing the bitching right now.
Speaker 5: And he's said, look, this is coaching one oh one right.
Speaker 5: Everyone's against us. You know, look at us, guys, the
Speaker 5: same number of losses as teams in the three seed.
Speaker 5: We've missed fifty six games from Austin, in In, Luca
Speaker 5: and Lebron, and everyone wants to come after us.
Speaker 2: Is he going to speak it into existence to the
Speaker 2: point where they'll actually beat teams they're not supposed to beat.
Speaker 5: I'm glad you brought that up before I get to that, though,
Speaker 5: I do want to point out maybe it is okay
Speaker 5: to take some shots at Lebron. In his back to backs,
Speaker 5: we have talked about this. He has played Warriors front
Speaker 5: end of King's back end back to back, Blazer's front end,
Speaker 5: Raptors back end of the back to back, King's front end,
Speaker 5: Atlanta Hawks back to back. He did not play against
Speaker 5: the Spurs after the Thunder in a back to back.
Speaker 5: He skipped the second game of a back to back
Speaker 5: when it was the Celtics. He also skipped the Spurs
Speaker 5: when it's the second game of the back to back.
Speaker 5: On January seventh, after playing the Pelicans in a thirty
Speaker 5: three minute thirty point eight rebound, eight assist effort in
Speaker 5: a blowout, Maybe you don't log thirty three minutes there
Speaker 5: and you save a little something for the Spurs. Uh,
Speaker 5: it's okay to call that out. Well, I don't feel that.
Speaker 2: I don't see what the point at all, just given
Speaker 2: those stats is. I don't. I don't. I'm not making
Speaker 2: my cherry picking. I'm not making any correlation there. What's
Speaker 2: the difference between playing the Celtics.
Speaker 5: And the Kings the Pelicans, here's a good thing you
Speaker 5: mentioned it be about their schedule.
Speaker 2: Oh, we're gonna find out who you are real quick. Oh,
Speaker 2: I'm afraid.
Speaker 5: We're gonna find out who they are in short order.
Speaker 5: The month of March is a perfect potpourie of crappy
Speaker 5: team followed by playoff team all month long. So if
Speaker 5: they hammer the Pelicans tonight, Pelicans in town, you do
Speaker 5: what you did to be Billy, Oh.
Speaker 2: God, it's going to be very awkward. And the chick
Speaker 2: Herd press road.
Speaker 5: You do what you did to be billy.
Speaker 2: You're a snake.
Speaker 5: You're a snake.
Speaker 2: You're a goddamn snake, and you know it. You're a
Speaker 2: deaf and snake.
Speaker 5: After they hammer the Pelicans Thursday, they get the Nuggets, right,
Speaker 5: they hammer the god awful Pacers on Friday. On Sunday,
Speaker 5: they get the Knicks Minnesota on Tuesday, then a terrible
Speaker 5: Chicago Bulls team, and then the Nuggets the Rockets twice
Speaker 5: in Miami. They will have to deal with the Pistons
Speaker 5: before playing bottom feeding Indiana and New Jerseys.
Speaker 2: Lebron scared of that, Isaiah Stewart, He's probably.
Speaker 5: Not gonna play play in that game now, Calves and Thunder.
Speaker 5: After that, Pistons will punch you, punch you square in it.
Speaker 5: He wants no part of that So let's see. If
Speaker 5: they just build up their record on terrible teams, puff
Speaker 5: their chest out and call us all a holes, and
Speaker 5: then losed games to the playoff teams, we'll know exactly
Speaker 5: where they are headed, regardless of what their final regular
Speaker 5: season record is.
Speaker 2: But how about not complaining about media coverage? Right, you're
Speaker 2: the Lakers. Everybody says this about us.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you have Lebron James, Luka, Doncic and a
Speaker 5: hole for a coach, and you are the Lakers. I
Speaker 5: don't care what's going on with lou Dort and him
Speaker 5: being the dirtiest player in the NBA. It was really dirty.
Speaker 5: I'm so happy the brothers jokich one in the stance.
Speaker 5: I think they might have each grabbed like two limbs
Speaker 5: and just torn him in half.
Speaker 2: Not since medieval times. Such a terrible public execution.
Speaker 5: Put him on the rack. We don't care, and we
Speaker 5: do care about Jabron Lames playing against the Kings and
Speaker 5: a freaking back to back chasing another triple double?
Speaker 2: Did you see that they put the Serbian hobble on dirt?
Speaker 3: Do?
Speaker 2: I don't care. We don't care about the Lakers and
Speaker 2: their mediocre record.
Speaker 5: We're such simpletons.
Speaker 2: No doubt We'll be back with more simplicity. David Vasse,
Speaker 2: camel back rats popping off, what is the latest, the
Speaker 2: Dodgers always making news. Tight game tonight or in this
Speaker 2: afternoon against Cleveland and Goodyear. This is Petro Send Money
Speaker 2: to Mad Demand.
Speaker 5: Petro saying money and five seventy ely Sports live everywhere
Speaker 5: on the iHeartRadio app. Our next Dodger Spring training broadcast
Speaker 5: will come Saturday, first pitch at five o five pm.
Speaker 2: As you're home of.
Speaker 5: The back to back World Series champion Dodgers. We do, however,
Speaker 5: have Dodger Talk all week long peak.
Speaker 2: David Vesey will be on top of it. He's got
Speaker 2: Daniel Hudson tonight plus all the latest and the nuances
Speaker 2: from the Dodgers spring camp, which is their first actual
Speaker 2: spring camp without you know, something weird going on. Well,
Speaker 2: I guess this year is kind of weird with the
Speaker 2: World Baseball Classic. But at least they don't have to
Speaker 2: go abroad. Especially David Vasse, that's our that's our concern.
Speaker 2: He is with us now live from Spring Training, the
Speaker 2: Home of the Dodger with an inside look at the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: This is the Vasse Report with David Basse, Bruce Springsteen,
Speaker 2: Baboovoo dolls, of course, light Rocky and John Travolta, not
Speaker 2: in that order. These are things that David Masse loves.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers fighting it out in Arizona today, Rookie Sasaki
Speaker 2: yanked and then reinserted. The hell of a deal man.
Speaker 2: Some people can do that.
Speaker 5: They give me a reseut real. You get it right
Speaker 5: back up and get a breath.
Speaker 2: Here, it's Davidse on your Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity
Speaker 2: Hotline with the latest. Are you concerned about Rookie Susaki?
Speaker 2: What was that day? It was kind of weird, man.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: In spring training they call that rolling and inning where
Speaker 6: they do want their starter or pitcher to get the
Speaker 6: work and if they're throwing too many pitches is in
Speaker 6: that inning, they can take him out of the game
Speaker 6: and then bring him back to finish whatever they were
Speaker 6: trying to accomplish in that start.
Speaker 3: So Roki Sasaki certainly needed that.
Speaker 6: He couldn't throw a strike in that first inning, gave
Speaker 6: up a grand slam, and came back in the second
Speaker 6: inning and was able to settle down and throw strikes
Speaker 6: and get three outs without giving up a run. But
Speaker 6: this goes back to what we talked about last week
Speaker 6: in his first start.
Speaker 3: Where he only went one inning.
Speaker 6: You know, you can say whatever you want, he's trying
Speaker 6: to work on something or he and his own words,
Speaker 6: he was happy that he just didn't get hurt, and
Speaker 6: it seemed like talking to the Japanese media, what he
Speaker 6: was trying to convey was that he was treating it
Speaker 6: just like a workout start. But at some point you've
Speaker 6: got to start easing concerns about who you are as
Speaker 6: a starting pitcher and easing concerns that when the season
Speaker 6: does start and you have that type of inning. The
Speaker 6: Dodgers aren't We're not going to repeat what they did
Speaker 6: last year where their bullpen was compromised in Sasaki starts
Speaker 6: and even in glass Now starts to begin the year
Speaker 6: last year that put them behind the eight ball. So
Speaker 6: that's the reason why you guys keep asking me about
Speaker 6: a name that you haven't heard of. There's a guy
Speaker 6: from the Oakland A's that's in camp that may make
Speaker 6: the opening day roster because of the uncertainty with Roki Sasaki,
Speaker 6: where Otani is, where Yamamoto is coming back from the
Speaker 6: World Baseball Classic. His name's Cole Irvin. He's a veteran
Speaker 6: right hander. Was with the A's and he may make
Speaker 6: the team coming out of camp, just to give them
Speaker 6: some coverage.
Speaker 5: Well, I know what we talked to you about Stone yesterday, Dave,
Speaker 5: But you know, we know a lot of the names
Speaker 5: that contender, Shean and obviously Landon Nak. But I think
Speaker 5: there is there like anyone else. Is it this guy
Speaker 5: from Oakland? Is it one of the converted relievers like
Speaker 5: our guy Casparius last year that gave him. Is it Robleski?
Speaker 5: Is it something like that that we might be keeping
Speaker 5: an eye on.
Speaker 6: Well, Robleski now is very much in the conversation because
Speaker 6: of the injury to Gavin Stone. So that takes him
Speaker 6: out of doing what he did so well the second
Speaker 6: half of last year, and piggybacking Otani starts doing something
Speaker 6: like that for Sasaki or any other starter. He very
Speaker 6: well looks like he's going to be part of the Dodgers'
Speaker 6: first five starters. Landon Nak, He's he's at a cross,
Speaker 6: you know, at a at a point in his career
Speaker 6: where you know, it doesn't look like he's going to
Speaker 6: be a viable starter for the Dodgers, So he's going
Speaker 6: to have to be one of those guys that shoveled
Speaker 6: back and forth. Bobby Miller now is viewed as a
Speaker 6: reliever and embracing that role. He just barely threw off
Speaker 6: a mound today, so the options are limited as far
Speaker 6: as that goes, and that's why Roki Sasaki needs to
Speaker 6: prove that he can be a starter.
Speaker 2: Is there a Gavin Stone Boner update? Anything new on
Speaker 2: the Showholder, I have.
Speaker 6: A Gavin Stone update for you, Petros, So I'm not
Speaker 6: sure about the other guy you just mentioned.
Speaker 5: Stone Bone Stone bone man, that's what it is.
Speaker 6: Dave Roberts said that Gavin Stone had an mri ct
Speaker 6: scan and it just showed inflammation.
Speaker 3: So I don't know.
Speaker 6: Whether or not that's just part of what it showed
Speaker 6: and he's not disclosing all of it. But nonetheless, it's
Speaker 6: a setback that's going to prevent Gavin Stone from being
Speaker 6: part of the starting rotation to begin the year.
Speaker 2: But not as bad as we thought, Like you know,
Speaker 2: inflammation is better than you know dis Look.
Speaker 6: I'll hold out judgment on at Petros. Sometimes we're told
Speaker 6: things that the full extent is not disclosed, so I
Speaker 6: hope it is.
Speaker 2: I hope has not been told. That's unfortunate.
Speaker 3: You never know.
Speaker 2: Let's see new favorite player, Dave.
Speaker 5: I did not see the game yesterday, but I saw
Speaker 5: the highlights of what was like a six hundred foot
Speaker 5: home run for Kidds. The third talk to us about
Speaker 5: I think he was part of a deal was that
Speaker 5: the Dustin May deal. They got this guy, and then
Speaker 5: I start poking around. He's a former first round pick.
Speaker 5: He looks like a man's man, like a real giant
Speaker 5: standing in that batter's box. Who is this dude?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been talking about him since day one is
Speaker 6: spring training. He was part of the Dustin May trade
Speaker 6: and the Red Sox had a surplus of outfielders. He
Speaker 6: was part of the Rafael Devers trade. He was a
Speaker 6: first round pick out of Florida State, and certainly is
Speaker 6: the guy that has a lot of confidence in himself
Speaker 6: and is going to start the year triple A and
Speaker 6: maybe the first position player outfielder at least that is
Speaker 6: called up if somebody gets hurt in that outfield. So
Speaker 6: he's closer to a finished product than host Wade, Depaula
Speaker 6: or Zayir hope and being a college baseball player from
Speaker 6: Florida State, A guy that has already been traded twice
Speaker 6: before making his major league debut is something you don't
Speaker 6: see all the time, but certainly is valued. If he
Speaker 6: was taken in the first round and was part of
Speaker 6: the Dever's trade, and the Dodgers may have pulled off
Speaker 6: another type of steal of a trade if he pans
Speaker 6: out to be at least a fourth outfielder.
Speaker 2: David Vesse Tonight, Dodger Talk Hast Daniel Hudson. The Dodgers
Speaker 2: don't have big problems because they have so many great
Speaker 2: things going for them, but also they have such weighty
Speaker 2: expectations they have to win it all or be a disappointment.
Speaker 2: So that being said, Dave, moving into these moments of
Speaker 2: getting the season started, how concerned are you about how
Speaker 2: thin they are with the starting pitching. How big of
Speaker 2: a deal is this to start the year out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not as deep or ideal as you thought
Speaker 6: it would be when you go into opening Day, but
Speaker 6: obviously the Dodge care more about their starters pitching their
Speaker 6: best when it counts the most. But look, you can't
Speaker 6: take it for granted. The first half of the season.
Speaker 3: I mean, you look back.
Speaker 6: At last year, the Dodgers lost all six games to
Speaker 6: the Angels and would have had home field advantage in
Speaker 6: the World Series if they would have won.
Speaker 3: Just one more game last year.
Speaker 6: So for the whole Eric Carros narrative of oh it's early,
Speaker 6: you know the wins don't matter as much in April
Speaker 6: as they do in July and August, Well, they do matter,
Speaker 6: and you can't take that part of the season for granted.
Speaker 6: So it's not ideal, but hopefully Yamamoto and Otani come
Speaker 6: back from the World Baseball Classic feeling strong to start
Speaker 6: the year with no setbacks.
Speaker 5: With a return of Tanner Scott, with the addition of
Speaker 5: Edwin Diaz. What does it do to the bullpen, to
Speaker 5: some of our World Series heroes, unexpected World Series heroes Dave,
Speaker 5: like Jack Dryer, like Will Klimb, and how do they
Speaker 5: all slot in?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean Jack dry and Will klin are going
Speaker 6: to be part of this to start the year, and
Speaker 6: it just takes Honestly, it's not about Diaz and Scott.
Speaker 6: It's more about the starters. Where it seems like the
Speaker 6: spring rotation is in a place where you can hope
Speaker 6: that they would give you deeper starts than the majority
Speaker 6: of last year, and you don't have to tax guys
Speaker 6: like Dryer and Will Kline.
Speaker 3: What it does set up.
Speaker 6: Though, is Dave Roberts, for the first time since Kenley
Speaker 6: Jansen was the Dodger closer counting out backwards, having a
Speaker 6: guy like Edwin Diaz, and that just seems to free
Speaker 6: up Tanner Scott to not have the weight of the contract,
Speaker 6: the weight of the pressure of being the Dodger closer,
Speaker 6: to be able to look like the guy that we
Speaker 6: saw in Miami and San Diego. And then you got
Speaker 6: Alex Vesia coming back after not pitching in the World Series.
Speaker 6: He's looked like Alex Vesio so far this spring. So
Speaker 6: the Dodger bolt, in my opinion, with the bounce back
Speaker 6: season from Blake Trining, who is in a much better
Speaker 6: place with his arm than he was all of last year,
Speaker 6: to me, could be the sleeper really good part of
Speaker 6: this team.
Speaker 2: David Vase, is he paying attention to Team USA? They
Speaker 2: bludgeoned the Giants, beat the snot out of them. That
Speaker 2: guy Romany, the twenty one year old from the Red Side,
Speaker 2: Roman Anthony Okay, Well, what are we doing there, Dave?
Speaker 2: You know, we got to be pretty excited. He set
Speaker 2: that alarm to watch curisaw.
Speaker 6: No, I'm locked in Dodgers Dodgers Guardians today. I just
Speaker 6: saw the highlights of the Anthony home run. That's all
Speaker 6: I saw of it. That's all I saw that game.
Speaker 5: All right, you didn't see Goldies hit because Goldie had
Speaker 5: a hit.
Speaker 2: Very I missed that one.
Speaker 6: I'll look at the replay. Maybe all DVR the games
Speaker 6: moving forward.
Speaker 2: It's a good idea, Dave. DVR, like David Vasse report, like,
Speaker 2: you're gonna watch the whole thing very closely. Yeah.
Speaker 3: If you guys are gonna want me to break it
Speaker 3: down every day.
Speaker 2: And guess who's coming up next?
Speaker 5: You?
Speaker 2: Yes? Then why does he like it more than us?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 6: Like, The consensus around the snarky social media is that
Speaker 6: Aaron Judge's inspiring speech fell flat to Team USA.
Speaker 5: Well, they hung fifteen on the Giants earlier, Dave, so
Speaker 5: it certainly seemed like it inspired them.
Speaker 2: Barstool said that this speech by Aaron Judge will inspire
Speaker 2: you to take a brisk walk.
Speaker 6: Bet MGM said it was bottom five speech of all time.
Speaker 2: Wow, bottom five of all time. Look, the Patino speech
Speaker 2: in any given Sunday isn't real, okay, but.
Speaker 5: The one in Teenwolf is yes, and the one in
Speaker 5: Hoosiers that's right.
Speaker 2: I love you guys.
Speaker 6: How about Rocky Balboa on the streets outside of Adrian's
Speaker 6: trying to inspire his twenty somethings Son, and.
Speaker 1: You're sacrifice with the brothers in the treasure with here
Speaker 1: sing the day.
Speaker 2: That's what thing I want us to do nowhere down
Speaker 2: beat up a little bit man, man, you know, Len,
Speaker 2: We're gonna lay it on the line. Can we do that?
Speaker 6: Nobody's bringing into anybody in the World Baseball Classic.
Speaker 3: They're gonna shut it down. Judge.
Speaker 2: Mike Crotcher's on fire after hearing that. We love you, Dave,
Speaker 2: have a great night. Looking forward to Dodger Talk with
Speaker 2: Daniel Hudson.
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you, guys, appreciate it.

Speaker 5: the first pitch at five o'clock.
Speaker 2: Matt, you know, as your show of rack heard for
Speaker 2: eighties nostalgia, eighties and seventies cartoon nostalgia. I mean we go,
Speaker 2: we go back to the thirties in the world of cartoons, Matt.
Speaker 2: That's how the depth and breadth of our cartoon knowledge
Speaker 2: is unparalleled in sports talk radio.
Speaker 5: In this world, you want politically insensitive cartoons from the
Speaker 5: fifties and earlier were the place, even war propaganda cartoons,
Speaker 5: any kind of car like, we love deliver it the
Speaker 5: two I mean, from the Wacky Races to Scooby Doo.
Speaker 2: We have cartoons for you, and we get very unhappy,
Speaker 2: especially I mean, I'll say it myself, I get very
Speaker 2: unhappy when the cartoons of yesteryear are brought back and bastardized.
Speaker 2: I don't care what you do AI with the Smurfs
Speaker 2: and some dumb movie. But he Man really upset me
Speaker 2: that what Kevin Smith did to he Man, making it
Speaker 2: not about he Man at all, but about Tila Right
Speaker 2: and her friend. It was.
Speaker 5: It was a storyline that we see cut could not
Speaker 5: have envisioned.
Speaker 2: It was not a storyline that I was looking for.
Speaker 5: I wanted more man at arms action. If you're gonna
Speaker 5: go down that path they made. They made all the
Speaker 5: Prince Adam man at arms, all the men we grew.
Speaker 2: Up loving and rooting for in the he Man saga
Speaker 2: over the years, all the homoroticism of Swall asks what
Speaker 2: we want and Fisto and all those guys, all of
Speaker 2: it was gone. All of those people were humiliated in
Speaker 2: crying heaps. And who's the star? Tila and her friend
Speaker 2: who's also a muscular woman with a severe haircut.
Speaker 5: Not what we signed up for. If you want to
Speaker 5: do that, No, it's not what I was Tila. You
Speaker 5: licensed Tila, give somebody else he Man.
Speaker 2: Don't say he Man is back, say he Man inspired
Speaker 2: Tila's story, severe haircut? Tila right? Because it was horsecrap.
Speaker 5: But you do have Masters of the Universe coming out
Speaker 5: in June.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the live action and I'm not I don't. I
Speaker 2: saw a trailer for that and it looks like a
Speaker 2: flop as well.
Speaker 5: Jared Leto is playing Skeleton exactly.
Speaker 2: According to Deadline, Matt Paramount Studios is in early development, Yes,
Speaker 2: okay for a project to make a G. I. Joe movie.
Speaker 5: But now we've had this before. Yes, we did with
Speaker 5: the Rock, Yes, did not go well.
Speaker 2: There was the Snake Eye spin off. Yeah, a throwback
Speaker 2: style eighties style action film quote unquote is what they're
Speaker 2: saying that stays true to the spirit.
Speaker 5: We can get behind this of the animated series. Is
Speaker 5: it going to be animated or is it going to
Speaker 5: be live actual?
Speaker 2: Going to be live action? But the nineteen eighties G I.
Speaker 2: Joe animated series played as unapologetically pro American patriotic. Laser
Speaker 2: up your ass, Cobra.
Speaker 5: Nobody dies, You just get lasered pretty hard.
Speaker 2: People right on the border of day, right on the brink.
Speaker 2: The Joes are framed as clear cut heroes protecting our
Speaker 2: country from Cobra's chaos, a ruthless terrorist organization determined to
Speaker 2: rule the world. When Cobra and doctor Mindbender whatever tries
Speaker 2: to put together all the DNA of all those sun
Speaker 2: su and all those guys his Cohn to create Sir
Speaker 2: Pantor who stops him? Sergeant Slaughter actually doesn't stop him,
Speaker 2: but he's there to.
Speaker 5: Try he's there with his forearms. G I Joe is there,
Speaker 5: Harry forearms.
Speaker 2: The vibe was classic Saturday morning eighties action. Bold characters like.
Speaker 5: Are we gonna get voiceovers?
Speaker 2: Like this organization? I would like to hope so gotta be?
Speaker 2: I mean they're got I need an Ara one Gi
Speaker 2: Joe will, great characters like snow Job, like Flint, like
Speaker 2: Lady Jay, like Scarlet, good versus evil, and a clean,
Speaker 2: kid friendly sense of heroism that always circled back to
Speaker 2: doing the right thing and letting Cobra get away so
Speaker 2: we could have another.
Speaker 5: Episodetainly, there was a moral at the end of each episode.
Speaker 5: There was a lesson to be learned.
Speaker 2: You know, when people have rights to a movie, they
Speaker 2: put stipulations in it, like you can make my movie
Speaker 2: and I'll sell it to you, but but my daughter
Speaker 2: plays ponelo Pe, you know, like one of those like
Speaker 2: the characters must be played by my daughter, you know,
Speaker 2: or something like that. If this was our movie, which
Speaker 2: is not, I feel like it should be, because that's
Speaker 2: how passionate I feel about the eighties cartoon which runs
Speaker 2: twenty four hours a day on YouTube and you can
Speaker 2: just watch it and pick it up in any of
Speaker 2: the storylines like the surparentib Oh, yeah, it's wonderful. If
Speaker 2: I had a say, if I was going to be like,
Speaker 2: you could make this movie, but but this person has
Speaker 2: to be cast, okay as this gi Joe guy, and
Speaker 2: it wouldn't be about me. I wouldn't want any residuals.
Speaker 2: It would just be about to do the right thing.
Speaker 2: Casting Dave damashek as Shipwreck.
Speaker 3: I'm running away from home.
Speaker 5: My parents are me.
Speaker 3: Will you good?
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but I'll show him. That's right, You'll
Speaker 2: show him how I mean, you can be race.
Speaker 4: Isn't it better to try to solve problems instead of
Speaker 4: running away from him?
Speaker 3: I could try talking to my parents again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, tell him how you feel and remember running away.
Speaker 4: He's nowhere now I know, and knowing.
Speaker 2: Is half of that Joe. And it's very interesting. You know,
Speaker 2: people thought that it was going to be Pat McAfee,
Speaker 2: sports talk radio guy breaking into the Hollywood Ashuley he's
Speaker 2: hiring an agent, and guys like Travis Kelce, you know,
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift's boy toy hiring an agent, getting involved in Hollywood.
Speaker 2: But it was Dave damashek as Shipwreck. In the live
Speaker 2: action G I Joe BOVI Sports Talk. Yes he he
Speaker 2: edge them out photo finish damasheck, buy a chin get
Speaker 2: behind that as shipwreck. All I had to do was
Speaker 2: paint this tattoo on my chest.
Speaker 5: Pally nice bike.
Speaker 3: Maybe we could borrow it for stealing, all right, for
Speaker 3: permission later.
Speaker 4: It looks like you're asking for trouble. Now, how would
Speaker 4: you like it if someone took your bike?
Speaker 2: I would I would like.
Speaker 5: If you get caught, I definitely end up the truck
Speaker 5: going now.
Speaker 4: I remember taking something that isn't yours, just isn't right. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I know, and knowing is half the battle.
Speaker 2: GI Joe. You know you want Aaron Judge to inspire
Speaker 2: people like we were talking to David Vasse in the
Speaker 2: last segment. Maybe you get him on that twenty four
Speaker 2: to seven G I Joe nineties loop that'll do it
Speaker 2: or YouTube loop eighties loop. G I Joe did make
Speaker 2: it to the nineties, but man, do I love G
