24
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:45.239
of course there was the bet we
made yesterday. That's all. That's

25
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:49.159
all. We'll be happy and smiling
on the Friday Show, Freddy from the

26
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.400
night before. When you come out
of your wallet, well wait a minute,

27
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:53.560
I'm telling you it could be a
split. And if it's a split,

28
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.799
it's a coin flip. And I'm
cool with that. Yes, I'm

29
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.799
cool with that. Now, are
we going to coin for it. That's

30
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:07.519
a very good question. We'll have
to do rock paper scissors, uh huh

31
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:09.199
to narrow it down to two.
Yeah, that's what we'll have to do.

32
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.960
You could just ask one of the
fine staff members, would you mind

33
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:16.759
just flipping this coin for us real
quick? You'll take two seconds. But

34
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.360
who goes first? Yeah? But
how does that work? There's three of

35
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.919
us? Who goes first? So
two of two of them got to go

36
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.120
first on the coin flip? And
then who gets eliminated? Or is it

37
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:32.759
two out of three? You gotta
win two? Okay? But what if

38
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:37.879
you and I both call heads and
it's take Yeah, you can't, you

39
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:39.319
know, I like what you just
suggested a second ago. Just do the

40
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:43.719
old rochambo might be the easiest way, easier way to go. Yeah,

41
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.159
instead of the coin flip, just
do the rock paper scissors and do it

42
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:51.039
that way, right. Whoever wins
that is good? A three way roachhambo?

43
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.199
Yeah, and that we do that, and then you do a two

44
00:02:54.199 --> 00:03:01.520
way yeah, yeah, do that
that. Then we'll record that and we'll

45
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:06.280
put it on on our page.
Should no, we will, yeah,

46
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:07.439
record to send it to me.
We'll put it up all right, we'll

47
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:13.719
definitely do that. Okay, So
Dodger notes, as you know, really

48
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:15.120
spring training now is right around the
corner. Here we go, and it's

49
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:20.280
the most anticipated spring training in years
for the Dodgers. Give it everything they

50
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:24.000
did during the off season. Tiascar
Hernandez says he chose the Dodgers because they

51
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:28.840
can help him become a better player
well, giving him a chance to win.

52
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.520
And he is going to be the
everyday left fielder. Now, he's

53
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:36.560
in the lineup. That's it.
He's penciled or pinned in. He's pinned

54
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.199
in. He's in. Yeah,
he's pinned into the lineup. At least.

55
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.719
Brandon Gohm said, he's got he
can play both corner outfield spots,

56
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.080
so his bat's going to be in
the lineup whether he's playing left field the

57
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.479
right field every day. And he
came here for twenty three million. I

58
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:50.800
mean, he was very honest about
it. Rodney, he said, I

59
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.520
expected a multi year deal, but
the market did not supply that. For

60
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:58.560
me, I thought he was going
to cash in. This is it and

61
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:00.280
the market was a little soft.
But he was also Yeah, he was

62
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.520
realistic, like he said that he
wanted to come to place here and wanted

63
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:08.919
to come to Dodgers because they have
a history of fixing folks, and he's

64
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.960
excited about that. That's what you
love. Though. He bet on himself.

65
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.120
He's coming here to play. He's
got a chance to win it all,

66
00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:19.920
and the Dodgers have a great coaching
staff that can help them good.

67
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:27.160
More do you want aside from striking
out a little too much? He doesn't

68
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.720
need a lot of fixing because he
can hit the ball. I think he

69
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:31.759
was third in the Major I mean
when he was in Toronto, he was

70
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.759
good. He was the majors of
striking out. So maybe more than just

71
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:39.839
a little much. Well, I'm
saying a little much, right, They

72
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.199
got to fix that. But you're
right, he's a great hitter. Yes,

73
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:46.120
yeah, tow Yes, in Toronto
he was good, and they traded

74
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.079
for him. Seattle traded for him. They thought he'd be the missing piece

75
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:53.279
of their puzzle. So now when
he gets here and works with the Dodgers

76
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:58.160
analytics people and their coaching staff,
perhaps they'll be able to correct that.

77
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.040
Perhaps say well, and if they
do, wow, they got I mean

78
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:09.160
it's so many people that they will. Teams are gonna kind of forget about

79
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.639
a little bit, you know,
in the Dodgers lineup and play. It's

80
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:17.160
gonna be so much focused on the
top of the lineup that you're you know,

81
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.199
you know, I think a whole
lot about you know, six,

82
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:24.319
seven, eight nine. You know, you stick some guys down there,

83
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.240
and they're gonna have I think,
you know, we'll have field day hitting

84
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:32.319
the ball at certain positions in that
lineup. So it's gonna be good.

85
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.360
I think Dason Hayward's gonna have a
big year as well. Yeah, how

86
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:42.240
quickly we forget about him? Yeah? Yeah, everybody gets a lot of

87
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:46.040
protection in that lineup. Everybody gets
a lot of protection. There's also the

88
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.120
question of and A Vassidy brought this
up last week when we talked about Hernandez

89
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:53.040
before was officially announced. You know, playing in Seattle's kind of a dead

90
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.639
zone for right handed hitters. Yeah, and his home road splits were crazy.

91
00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:58.759
I think he hit like two ninety
or something like that on the road

92
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:00.839
last season. So did it really
a down year or did just playing in

93
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.480
Seattle just effect affect his play like
it does for a lot of players.

94
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:09.000
Yeah, but he's still struck out. Yeah, but still a lot of

95
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.360
home runs. Yeah, you know, he's gonna have a great year,

96
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:15.759
whoever hits in that nine hole,
whoever's consistently hitting in the nine hole,

97
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.800
in the ninth spot, because nobody
wants to turn that lineup over, right,

98
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:21.600
They want to get that nine,
that nine hitter out because they don't

99
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:27.000
want to start the topping lineup with
Mooki and o'tani and Freddie and I mean,

100
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.279
it's just it's something that there is
gonna be everybody's mind. They're gonna

101
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.680
get great pitches to hit whoever's hitting
ninth because they want to first of all,

102
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.240
they don't want to put the guy
on base. Secondly, they want

103
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.959
to get him out, so they
don't want to turn it over. So

104
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:43.519
man, there might be a you
know, a fight to the on deck

105
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.879
circle so you can hit ninth.
Right now, who would it be to

106
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:48.040
be Lucks? Right? Lucks makes
the most sense, right, Yeah,

107
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.439
wouldn't lux a guy who's a good
contact hitter. Yeah, I would get

108
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:58.680
on base. And I mean we
don't know, we don't know how how

109
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.079
much he's recovered from the third,
but prior to the surgery, he could

110
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:08.279
run. So if you've got a
guy hitting ninth that's fast, that's sort

111
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:14.639
of like your warm up leadoff guy
because once he gets on and if he

112
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:18.399
can run and here we go.
Mm hm, he's got all stars behind

113
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:24.240
him. Second second leadoff guy or
a first leadoff guy. Yeah, he's

114
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.800
the preliminary leadoff guy. Because if
you look at it, when you get

115
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:34.360
down there, it's Hayward hernandez h. I'm trying to think of who well

116
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:40.399
oh and outman. Oh yeah yeah
when you get down there, yeah,

117
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:46.040
right, because you know, and
he's another one. You know he's got

118
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.560
he's got some popy in him,
eighth, eighth, the same kind of

119
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:53.360
thing, right, you know,
God, we got to get this guy

120
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.720
out. We're gonna give him some
good pitches to hit so he can he

121
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.680
can make contact and get out and
maybe a double play whatever. But yeah,

122
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.399
hit me down in the lineup for
this team. That's not a punishment

123
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.120
that that is a good spot to
be if you want to see some good

124
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.079
pitches. Of course, you got
to figure what that. We know the

125
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:16.360
top five. We're assuming Moncy will
hit fifth in this configuration, right,

126
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:20.120
yeah, I would. I would
assume so, and you know it could

127
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.519
be him and Will Smith could flip
flop however you want to look at that.

128
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:26.519
But I think you're right, but
they don't want they don't want to

129
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:28.399
go lefty, lefty, lefty.
So Will Smith will jump in there in

130
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.799
between Otani and uh Freddy, you
know, round around that area or behind

131
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.759
those two. All right, So
if we've got those as the top five,

132
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.279
you know, slice thee die of
any way you want. Now where

133
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:48.240
it's six, that could be Hayward, that could be Margo. Yeah,

134
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:52.960
that could be Hernandez, her Nandez
or a outman or outman. Okay,

135
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.120
so now you just go down to
nine because that's all the other guys left.

136
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.639
How are you gonna play them?
We're gonna put them in what order?

137
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.519
Six, seven, and eight are
the questions? Right? That is

138
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.080
gonna be a tough lineup. And
I'll tell you this, and then you

139
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.559
got to mix up. You throw
Chris Taylor in there and hopefully you know

140
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.879
he'll I think he'll bounce back from
the year he had last year. But

141
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.720
yeah, he got quality guys all
the way through. Do not do not

142
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:24.200
sleep on Margo. No, don't
make that mistake, because he can hit

143
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:31.240
two. Don't sleep on him.
You know he was he was the Trey

144
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:37.200
Turner to Max Scherzer in the deal
with Washington when the Dodgers acquired Max Shers

145
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.799
and they said, oh you got
Trey Turner. Oh that's nice, that's

146
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:43.519
nice throwing. No, okay,
that's a perennial All Star. Right,

147
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.039
No, you got a guy who
can really play, so Margo can play.

148
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.559
So now if you just look at
it, they are just loaded.

149
00:09:52.240 --> 00:10:00.320
They are loaded and ready Rodney mm
hmmm. So that exciting. That makes

150
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.159
you think what happens to Key ca
Hernandez as we sit here and just run

151
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:09.360
down this lineup? Yes, how
about that? You know just mentioned in

152
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.559
kik now and man because you know
in his first dad he had it was

153
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.840
he was such a valuable player for
the Dodgers, and he had his moments

154
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.799
last year, you know when he
came over, he had some big moments.

155
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:22.879
But man, giving him, you
know, getting him back in there

156
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:28.399
full full time, you kind of
you you, I mean, the way

157
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.639
the Dodgers operate, they had these
guys can play multiple positions and move around,

158
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.480
and he's certainly one of them,
and you need that. It's worked

159
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.960
out well for the Dodgers. But
yeah, as a guy that can change

160
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.600
up, that can play multiple positions, you gotta find a way to keep

161
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.720
him around, don't you. I
hear what you're saying. I don't think

162
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:50.080
they can stop it. I don't
think they I mean you mentioned, well,

163
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.080
you know you had some big moments
last year. If we're really being

164
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.639
honest, okay, and let's not
talk with our heart, let's talk with

165
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.320
our head, because in people's heart, they just love him. I'm not

166
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.679
saying he was on the level of
Yasiel Puigue, but the minute he came

167
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.000
back, it was a different energy
and the fan base felt differently as well.

168
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.279
So if we're talking with our heart, he's beloved. If we're talking

169
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.919
with our head, yeah, I
know he was Okay, Yeah, I

170
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:24.559
know he came in and did some
things right and then he had three eighty

171
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.840
five in the playoffs. That's more
than I can say for the rest of

172
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:30.679
that line. Let them know,
the facts have somebody that can hit in

173
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.720
big moments in the postseason, which
is what they were lacking the last two

174
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:35.559
post seasons. He was one of
the only people that showed up. Thank

175
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.440
you very much. I go back
and get Jock Peterson to find a place

176
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.519
for him, Thank you very much. I see what you're saying. I

177
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.360
don't think they will I mean great
if they did. Don't get me wrong,

178
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.720
I'm not saying run the guy out
of town on a rail. Well,

179
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.919
I'm just saying saying that. No, I'm not saying that. I

180
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:56.360
mean, look at it like this, Rodney, Chris Taylor's utility guy,

181
00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:03.799
right, Yep, Lucks and and
Rojas are the shortstops, right, yes,

182
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:05.960
and key k cannot really play shortstop. Let's be honest. I mean,

183
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:11.960
he was a defensive liability last year
in Boston, so that didn't work.

184
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.679
So you're not gonna do that.
So where are you gonna put him?

185
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.399
The outfields jammed, the outfield's loaded. Now he gives Mooki arrest at

186
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:26.240
second base, better second baseman,
any short stuff. Okay, Well,

187
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.159
if they give Mooki a rest,
what does Chris Taylor play? I mean,

188
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.360
Chris Taylor can play, and he's
already under contract. I know it

189
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.039
hurts, and I'm saying, if
you speak with your heart, your heart

190
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.879
is you want him back. But
I think if you're looking at it with

191
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.960
your head, I just think he's
going to be the odd man out.

192
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:52.159
Now. If they sign him tomorrow, we'll celebrate. That's fantastic, that's

193
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.720
fantastic. But I think you'll kind
of be the odd man out here.

194
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:01.080
And also the free agent market,
to be quite honest, is still moving

195
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.519
at a snail's pace. You know, when Hernand has said a little soft,

196
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:13.360
it was soft, it is soft
now to etour guys and Snell and

197
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:20.360
Bellinger and Montgomery still out there.
Montgomery still out couple. Yeah, yeah,

198
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:26.519
So you think, well, I
mean you mentioned my man Scott.

199
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:30.360
These guys they're not going to take
any kind of haircuts. But do you

200
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:35.120
think Snell does if it gets close
to spring training and nothing's happening, nothing's

201
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.799
moving, let's define a haircut because
they're setting that. They're setting their own

202
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:45.440
market, right. So if he's
if he goes in and says I want

203
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.799
three hundred million dollars over X number
of years, if we're just surmising I

204
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.639
want this much money over X number
of years and no one is giving it

205
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.440
to him if the market will not
bear that, is he taking a haircut

206
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.600
or is he getting fair market value
at the time, Cody Ballinger, whatever

207
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.840
he gets. Is he taking a
haircut or getting fair market value at the

208
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:11.159
time? Well, I think two
different guys. I think Snell, you

209
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:15.240
don't want to hear a fair market
value. You don't want to hear that,

210
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.080
but that might be his market don't
care, you don't want to hear

211
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.639
it. I got two, Cy
Young's coming off one, and I am

212
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:28.440
what I am. You know,
I think there's still a ceiling for Cody

213
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:33.559
still. I think he had a
resurgence obviously last year. I am kind

214
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.799
of surprised that he hasn't, you
know, garnished more attention right now.

215
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:43.120
But for Snell, I think he
holds firm at where he wants to be

216
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.519
and somebody may come in and dip
him. Cody might have to compromise.

217
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.200
But my point is this, I
want three hundred million. I'm Blake Snell.

218
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:58.639
No one's gonna pay you, so
what are you gonna do? And

219
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.879
maybe the that's the game here.
Nobody's willing to pay what they were asking,

220
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.679
so they'll just wait them up.
But there's a point in time where

221
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:11.799
you want to get paid. You
got to go to work. Boy.

222
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:16.679
It's tough. It's tough out there, Fred. Yeah, I'll tell you

223
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:22.440
what you know. Once team he's
been linked to the Angels. They can't

224
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.240
say that with a straight face,
but well that's the case. You do

225
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.120
not want three hundred million. That's
what I said. Did you see that

226
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.600
thing in there? I think you
put it in there, Kevin in some

227
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.360
of our notes this morning about the
Angel still having the tiny stuff up.

228
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:43.879
Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. How
about that can't let go? Huh got

229
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:50.759
his jersey, got the ball he
pitched and struck out? I'll tuo V

230
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:56.440
with. I mean, come on, and by the way, I don't

231
00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:02.559
think they've discounted that stuff. No, no, please, got it.

232
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:04.159
Gardy got to make some money for
it. That jersey I think is going

233
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:11.399
for fifty thousand dollars. They got
it price out. I don't think they

234
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:18.039
discounted it. You know, normally
when they have jerseys of somebody and they

235
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.720
that players traded, right, you
know, they still want to move them.

236
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:23.960
They still take them off the shelves. But you know you see him

237
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:30.159
at Dick's and Big five Sporting Goods
and they're discounted, right, No,

238
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:37.840
the Angels still have them up in
the team store. Get them while they're

239
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:42.240
here. He doesn't were it anymore, he doesn't even wear it. Why

240
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:49.360
would you want it? I guess
if you in nostalgia, you know,

241
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:53.080
I mean, maybe I should buy
Davy Lobes Jersey at Dodger Stadium. He

242
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:59.720
doesn't full value or full value Fred
full vout right, it's fo yeah,

243
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.319
nineteen eighty value. Nobody would do
that. I'm sorry. There is somebody

244
00:17:03.319 --> 00:17:15.920
that would do that. The angels. All right, we are going to

245
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.160
have some spirituality. We desperately need
it. And Vick will be along next.

246
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:25.000
Come on, come on home day, Rodney, pe Fred Rogan on

247
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:30.000
a beautiful Wednesday, down the home
stretch, Faddie, let's go. Gotta

248
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:34.640
have that spirituality though needed desperately,
Rodney needed desperately, is apply that spirituality.

249
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:40.480
We welcome on Vic the brick with
the daily haikup and Vic that afternoon

250
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:57.519
spot light twenty nine on, Fred
Rogan. You left Frett speechless. I

251
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:07.680
guess they're Vic of it. He
will dazzle him in the desert Rodney Pete

252
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:22.599
mm come on seven VTV. He
is our oasis of information. Kevin figures,

253
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:30.799
come on now in for Rannie.
He is a flower in the desert.

254
00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:42.599
Colin yee cna, Vixan hey and
listen. I know you guys touched

255
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:57.640
on the newest Dodger acquisition. Tor
Scar Hernandez mhm. The Dominican slugger is

256
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:03.200
rocking a fabulous beer. No haha, I knew you'd like that, Vict,

257
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:06.680
You're a beard kind of sewer man. You are the guy, the

258
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:10.160
efficient Nallo. I was gonna ask
you about what you thought of his beard.

259
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:15.440
You love it, love it,
Love his beard, love his attitude.

260
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:21.039
He says, there's no better place
for winning than the Dodgers. Yeah,

261
00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:23.279
takes a one year deal with the
Dodgers rather than a multi year deal

262
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:27.680
with another team. Then I'm sure, I'm sure he could have gotten.

263
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:32.920
But he wanted, he wanted to
win, and he wanted to improve his

264
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.599
game. And he knows the Dodgers
of this or the squad and the organization.

265
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:44.000
So a very wise, wise dude. Fabulous attitude. Love the attitude,

266
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:48.279
don't you, vict love it.
Love Fernandez's attitude. And again he

267
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:55.160
can pick sensational hitter and a very
good arm, very very underrated arm in

268
00:19:55.160 --> 00:20:03.759
the outfield. And remember you can
see too, Scar Henendez CEO Tony at

273
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:38.759
Rogan. Yeah, Hellovick Bick.
I had a little problem, a little

274
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:45.599
connection issue, but I'm back now. You're always there, Fred, I

275
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:51.839
feel your vibe. A lot of
buzz with the Clippers yesterday, of course

276
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:59.039
with the Intoit Dome and NBA commission
Adam Silver hanging with Steve Balmer in Englewood.

277
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.160
I love the quote from Steve Bomber. You know I'm getting to the

278
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.839
All Star Game for twenty twenty six. Did they get it because they have

279
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:11.319
more urinals than anybody? Oh?
They got yours too, Fred, Right,

280
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.640
they got urinals now minus it's so
fine, Oh so fi the Fred

281
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.359
Brogan throwing it so far, that's
right. Yeah. Steve Balmer put more

282
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:22.480
urinals in that that arena than any
arena in America, three timely as many

283
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:30.480
brilliant Bamba says quote. I was
giddy when I heard it was possible.

284
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:40.119
I got even give you when the
NBA said we're getting it, angele woodles

285
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:47.400
sixty toilets urinals three times. The
NBA average number of toilets and urals.

286
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:51.359
We do not want people waiting in
life. We wanted to get back to

287
00:21:51.440 --> 00:22:02.079
their damn seats. That's pivotal.
Man. They got urinals and for they

288
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:04.240
got a squad. If you're watching
the Clippers play, you know, balling

289
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:12.319
right now, they are playing sensational
basketball. Tell you Paul George was spectacular

290
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:21.160
last night. He put the team
on his back last night. He thought

291
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:27.319
it was the playoffs. He became
playoff peat and the beard once again.

292
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:34.720
Eight assists. That's the key is
distributing beautifully. Is a distribution revolution from

293
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:38.680
James Harden. Of course, Zoo
batches out for a month, now,

294
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:45.200
that's a that's a blow. Yeah, it is, because he's been playing

295
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:51.119
fantastic. Do you read that?
Kawhi said, looks like everybody will get

296
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:53.200
taken care of now. I mean
it's working. Harden wants to finished his

297
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:57.200
career with the Clippers. Kawhi thinks
everybody will get all signed up here soon.

298
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:06.680
Well, the team is just playing
brilliant basketball. Nine of the last

299
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:12.400
eleven, the twenty six and fourteen. You know they plug in Mason Plumley.

300
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:17.720
He had fourteen last night. That
was good to see because it's gonna

301
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:22.359
be You know, Zubach is integral. We don't talk much Zubach, but

302
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:27.200
he's been fabulous. Remember, there
are only one game back of the Nuggets

303
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:33.480
and the Thunder in the West,
two and a half back of Minnesota Low

304
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:37.839
lowbos for the best record in the
West. So this is this is a

305
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:45.480
sensational time for the Clippers and Adam
Auslin of course, Well that's what's important.

306
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:48.240
How Adam feels the double A Yeah, I'm happy, right, mm

307
00:23:48.279 --> 00:24:00.640
hmm. We don't want him salty
Lakers Mavericks tonight early tip at the Downtown

308
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:07.480
Hoopedojo. This Lakers team is is
very, very odd, you know,

309
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.799
just below five hundred. When they
at the five hundred mark forty there are

310
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:18.440
one game below five hundred there you
feel this, there's something something there.

311
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:22.200
There's a whole nother level there that
they just haven't touched. Am I right?

312
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.039
Are you feeling with me? There's
another level the Lakers feeling like the

313
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:32.000
Clips are the Lakers the Lakers.
There better be another level they haven't touched.

314
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:34.440
Yeah, I was gonna say,
in trouble, if they don't have

315
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:48.759
another layer, they gotta really stir
it up. But all this trade talk

316
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:52.920
with the Lakers, I say let
it be. Let it be because the

317
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.839
talent is on that roster. They
just they said they just have to connect

318
00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:02.400
and this there's no lack of connection. You wouldn't move Hatchamora and uh D'Angelo

319
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:07.519
Russell or you wouldn't move Hotamora in
Austin Reeves. Now I'm not moving Austin

320
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:15.720
Reeves. They're lucky to have Austin
Reeves. Austin Reess is a great communication,

321
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:22.599
you know with Lebron and ad No, Austin Reeves is is going to

322
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:37.920
find the way in the second half
of the season. We just used some

323
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:45.880
were used in playing so much better
basketball though. It's it's it's really weird.

324
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:52.160
And fellas, are you're excited?
I know you're excited about Spotlight twenty

325
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:57.880

329
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:37.960
That was dirty? I tried.
I tried to do it before that that

330
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:41.559

We'll get back to uh vix Coachella wrap

every years because this is this is the

335
00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:15.279
most fabulous outdoor concert in the world, without a doubt. So when they

336
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:21.920
released the news that No Doubt was
going to reunite after nearly ten years,

337
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:27.319

No Doubt reunion really was the elhigonte

Sublime, they got Blur Blur Blur

Spice. I'm digging ice spice.
Ice Spice will be in the house.

346
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:37.559
So Coachella. It's crazy hot of
course with Coachella twenty nine and and they

347
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:48.200
we're gonna ride They Eric Dickerson Nigerian
Nightmare Christian Okoye appearance. It's going to

348
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:53.640
be wild. Oh yeah. And
speaking of wild sumo, Day three,

349
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:03.440
are you guys following the amazing journey
of Wakamoto Horrow? Tell me about it,

350
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:10.920
Vick Well, fresh from his stunning
wind over the yokozuna tearinga fuji in

351
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:18.279
day two, he remains crazy hot
Wakamoto Horrow. He shocked the Ozaki taka

352
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:23.359
Ki show yesterday, driving him out
of the dojo. So Wakamoto Horro is

353
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:29.279
now two and one. But most
importantly, he beats the yokazuna, and

354
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:36.200
then he beats the ozeki on consecutive
days, which is wild. M M.

355
00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:42.839
Meanwhile, you know my love for
the bear Takayasu. He withdrew.

356
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:52.200
Why why lower back pain after just
two matches? Of course, my beloved

357
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:59.759
bride Uko Sakamoto, myself big fans
of Takayasu, so we're totally bummed.

358
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:11.240
That ain't good. Meanwhile, Day
three, the Yokazuna did bounce back with

359
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:18.519
a wind tearing a Fuji, wracked
up a victory against Abi the Mongolian with

360
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:26.400
attitude. I'll show you toll ex
domination of Ura. I'll show you he

361
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:36.640
showed us Aura. You know he
rocks that pink Mawahee had no no shot

362
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:41.160
against against I'll show you beltless arm
throw and Aura is now zero and three.

363
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:45.960
I'll show you three and oh.
That's a tough move. The beltless

364
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:48.119
arm throw, isn't it? It
is? It's a tough move, Fred,

365
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:56.119
But I'll show you performed that executed
it brilliantly. Kirishima sent a Tommy

366
00:30:56.119 --> 00:31:00.200
Fuji to his third straight defeat.
The twenty one year old rock star has

367
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:07.279
lost three in a row. What's
going on with him? I don't get

368
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.400
it. Who does. You can
have a great track record, but every

369
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:15.440
match on the dojo is up in
the air. You never know what's going

370
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:19.759
to happen. Toby Zaru, the
Flying Monkey, Fred, you love the

371
00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:26.720
Toby Zaru. Love it it?
He beat Ruden or Barry's third cousin,

372
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:36.039
distant cousin Ruden and Flying Monkey gets
a lot of love from the crowd.

373
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:41.480
And meanwhile, under the radar is
Colton Miwaka. Yeah, he's with the

374
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:47.960
pillowy one, the pillowy one.
He's got the cushion. He's three and

375
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:52.519
oh he beats the feisty little guy
Midori Fuji. So Colton Miwaka making a

376
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.599
lot of inroads the last couple of
tournaments. Could he be ready for the

377
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:08.839
breakthrough on the first tournament from Tokyo
Grand Sumo, Everyone's going wild. Were

378
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:15.960
excited to see you, and of
course everyone's going wild for the haiku.

379
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:24.079
Yes, yes, yes, Vic. Today's haiku poet is ki Kakku k

380
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:30.200
i k a k u k We've
heard from ki Kaku before, Yes,

381
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:35.960
we have. Now are we sure
it's gonna be Kikaku or are you gonna

382
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:37.559
change your mind and it's gonna be
Basho. I just want to make sure

383
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:40.640
this is Kei Kaka right, just
making sure vig. We had a wait

384
00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:46.359
change yesterday. I had to pivot
on the pros yesterday, but today it

385
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:51.599
was all. Ki Kaku is one
of the most heralded devotees of bashow.

386
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:58.599
Ki Koku's father was a doctor in
Tokyo. Mm hmm, but ki Kaku

387
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:06.839
was drawn to haiku and interestingly,
enough, came under heavy scrutiny by Barsho,

388
00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:14.000
who called Kikko's hiku's too flippant.
What a little pressure from Bashow.

389
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:20.480
But Kikoku, you know, took
took the criticism and moved on it.

390
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:24.920
That's friends, really flippant about the
haiku most of the time. Little bit,

391
00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:31.319
well, it's hear it big.
This is from ki Kaku k i

392
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:37.720
k a k u. This hiku
for you on this Wednesday, January the

393
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:51.519
seventeenth, from Kikoku springtime in Edo. Not a day passes without a temple

394
00:33:51.599 --> 00:34:00.480
bell sold. I'm feeling you,
okay, everybody buying those temple bells.

395
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:04.880
You brought it, vic, you
brought it at a baby. Feeling a

396
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:07.000
right, Colin, thanks for sitting
