WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.480 All right, let's go. Fred Rogan Rodney Pete at a five seventy LA 2 00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:07.679 Sports Big three hour program for US Today. Rodney, how are you hey? 3 00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:12.160 Uh yeah, yeah, throwback Thursday, Freddie, I'm feeling good, 4 00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:18.480 feeling good, feeling sharp. A lot of things happening in the sports world, 5 00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:23.000 NBA, NHL, Dodgers on a slide. I mean, what do 6 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:25.039 you want to start with, Fred, Well, first of all, we 7 00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.600 were off yesterday, and really it had been better if we had been on 8 00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.119 and the Dodgers wouldn't have played. There you go, they should have been 9 00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:35.200 off. Well, check that they were off. They were off. We 10 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.560 were all off yesterday. So we did a podcast yesterday. And if you 11 00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:40.640 didn't hear the podcast, and by the way, if you didn't hear the 12 00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:45.960 podcast, why why we do the podcast Because we've been told we're killing it, 13 00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.439 So we do a podcast when we're not on the air. And during 14 00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:53.000 the podcast we had a major announcement. Do you know what the announcement is? 15 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.039 Did you hear what the announcement? Is you talking to me? Are 16 00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.200 you talking to me? Are you talking to our fabulous listeners there who love 17 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.480 to come join us when we ever we go on remote. Fred. Well, 18 00:01:03.599 --> 00:01:07.519 yeah, and here's the deal. We are going to Hollywood Park on 19 00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.920 Monday. Granted and had a lot of notice, we understand that. But 20 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.879 because we have a loyal group that always shows up for the Hollywood Park shows 21 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:21.480 Monday noon to three Hollywood Park Casino in Inglewood, We're going to be given 22 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:26.280 a sweet tickets. First. The tickets will be into suite and if you're 23 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.840 in the suite, that's sweet. So you will be in the AM five 24 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.799 seventy Sweet. We're giving away sweet tickets. You'll see the Dodgers in person. 25 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:36.959 That'll be cool. You can't win them if you don't show up. 26 00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.519 But the big news, and we didn't have it confirmed yesterday, but we 27 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:45.079 have it confirmed now. One of my favorite Dodgers is going to be there 28 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.920 between one thirty and two thirty. We've got the time now cemented. And 29 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.280 when they acquired this guy, I thought that was a brilliant move. I've 30 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.000 never backed down one bit. He's going to be there, take pictures, 31 00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:02.480 sign autographs, meet the people. Our buddy, the Bazooka, Brucet Grattarol 32 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:08.439 will be there. He will be on the show. Yes, yes, 33 00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:14.879 Bazuka. Bazuka is coming on the show. Yeah he is. He at 34 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.960 Fred, from the moment he got here, you were a champion of his 35 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:23.199 and he talked about how much you liked him. He loved his style, 36 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.360 his personalities. He said that guy. I love that guy. And here 37 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.599 we are some years later, Fred, we finally get your guy to come 38 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.240 visit us at Hollywood Park. So Monday, the show starts at noon. 39 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.280 You know, the advice is always get there a little early because at times 40 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.360 it could be standing room only, and at times you can invite your whole 41 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:44.479 family and twenty five friends and they'll be seats. But what I'm saying is 42 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.240 this. What I'm saying is this, you should get there early. Will 43 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:52.800 be there three hours giving away sweet tickets, and Bruce Star Graderol will be 44 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:58.759 our special guest in person at Hollywood Park on Monday. Get down to Inglewood. 45 00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.159 Yes, be a part of it. Be a part of it. 46 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:07.280 We look forward to seeing you. Okay. So, as Rodney so aptly 47 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:12.919 put, we were off yesterday, and apparently so were the Dodgers. That 48 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.719 was not good. Young Landed Knack deserved better. He got hit a couple 49 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:22.879 of times. Overall pitched very well, but that potent lineup has not been 50 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:24.879 able to break through, and yesterday they were shut out. I mean, 51 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:30.960 we can just all be honest. There's no panic. There's no panic. 52 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:35.639 But this is right now with this team, it's pretty ugly. As they're 53 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.560 trying to figure out what to do, as they're trying to get guys out 54 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:40.759 of slums. They've got pictures that have been hurt that will come back, 55 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.400 but there's no other way to look at it. Really, that's ugly. 56 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.439 I mean, Washington Beach a couple of times, come on, what Washington 57 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:59.840 Beach? Come on? So you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, 58 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.639 it's it's listen, listen. It is still early, and there are some 59 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:09.240 bright spots. As you mentioned, you take out the first inning of yesterday's 60 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:15.479 game. He pitched a fantastic game. I thought, yeah, yeah, 61 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.720 And the Bats are not going to be that cold, at least down in 62 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.839 the lineup. They're not gonna be that cold all year long. They're gonna, 63 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:25.560 you know, they're gonna jockey with positions, They're gonna jockey with things 64 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.879 down there. Different. You know, people that are getting felt out right 65 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:34.120 now. Excuse my lack of a better phrase, but it's all gonna be 66 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:39.600 fine. It really is there's too much talent, and at some point the 67 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:44.079 talent starts to rise and will rise and this thing will come together. But 68 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.160 it still is somewhat of a feeling out process. Right. It still is 69 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.279 like that first three or four rounds of a boxing match where you you know, 70 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:55.240 you're throwing that jab, Keep throwing that jab, Keep throwing that jab. 71 00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.040 He may hit you a couple of times. You know, he may 72 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.079 catch them ribs, right, he may catch that jaw a little bit. 73 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:06.319 Sure, now you know what he's coming with. And then that's when you 74 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:11.240 settle in and start going at him. So it still is that point and 75 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:15.319 still is that time for the Dodgers. I get it. It's frustrating because 76 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.399 you go into with the mindset that this team is going to be dominant. 77 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:23.839 We want this team to be dominant from start to finish, from start to 78 00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.800 finish, wire to wire. We want to be the most dominant team in 79 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.720 baseball. Well that's not the case. That would be nice, but it's 80 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.000 not the case. What do you say, Freddie, It's a marathon, 81 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:39.079 not a sprint. That's exactly right. Yeah, so relax, it's not 82 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:45.519 great right now. But if this is like the bad and the worst it 83 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.959 can be. It's really going to be all right. Oh. I think 84 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.519 at the end of the day it will be. But I do have a 85 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:56.560 concern. Okay, okay, I knew it was coming. Yeah, and 86 00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:00.959 we talked to we touched on this last year, and I just get this 87 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:05.360 sense when I watch. I'm getting the sense right now. You know, 88 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:12.959 the Dodgers are just too nice. They're too nice? What do I mean? 89 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:15.399 And I think we used this last year. When you look at the 90 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:21.240 Dodgers, observe them during the game, watch how they conduct themselves. It 91 00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:28.160 looks as is these guys show up for work every day on time nine am, 92 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.800 smile on their face, all dressed in a suit, carry their briefcase 93 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:35.839 in, walk into the office, sit down, log out of the computer, 94 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:42.839 do their work, do it well, do it efficiently, nice to 95 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:47.279 everybody around. Never an hr problem here, five o'clock, get up, 96 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:54.120 walk out, go home, and do it again tomorrow. I don't see 97 00:06:54.959 --> 00:07:00.199 and listen, I'm not saying you need a villain on your team. When 98 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.519 they're playing like this, you need somebody, And I'm not saying you need 99 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.480 this guy. Where's Manny Machado? A guy that looks like he's just gonna 100 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:15.480 kick your ass on for general reasons. Where's that guy got Joe Kelly? 101 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.879 Kelly? They got Joe Kelly. Joe Kelly pitches like every eight days, 102 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:25.040 and when he does, it's always an adventure. You don't know what's going 103 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:30.199 to happen. But Joe Kelly is that kind of guy. Where is the 104 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:35.240 other kind of guy like him? It's not Freddie Freeman, the nicest guy 105 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:41.920 on a planet. Mookie is fantastic. Sho Tani. We don't even know 106 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.480 what he's right. We don't know what he's saying. We have no idea. 107 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.319 We don't know Tascar Hernandez, we know months he can be that way. 108 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:55.199 He's got a little dog in him. Chris Taylor's nice. Gavin lux 109 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.600 is trying to figure out if he can stand in the club and hit James 110 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:03.920 Outman is terrific. Will Smith doesn't speak. If you just Jason Hayward's a 111 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:09.199 wonderful guy, but he's hurt. He'll be back. Uh. Keith k 112 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:11.079 got lucky the other night and then the ball hit his bat and went out 113 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.519 of the park. A that's true, Bomb, that's true. So the 114 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.639 point is, where is that guy? That guy where's c. J. 115 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.360 Abrams who let off for Washington. When you looked at him, you thought, 116 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.040 Oh, this guy go a little dog in him. Where's that guy. 117 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.639 I'll tell you a guy I think is like that, Rodney. I 118 00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:35.799 think it's your guy, Mickey Rojas. I think he's got some dog in 119 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.559 him. I think he'll step up. I mean, I think he'll mix 120 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.840 it up when you say dog and they all have some dog in him. 121 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.360 Look, Mookie's got dog in him, Tony Comes. You're talking about a 122 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.080 villain. You're talking about somebody that that people can can hate a little bit 123 00:08:52.639 --> 00:09:01.519 the other teams, can you know more feisty outwardly? Feisty outwardly? Because 124 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.879 you know, anybody says that that those those top three or four guys in 125 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.120 the lineup don't have dog in them that they know they've been watching, because 126 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:15.799 that's a different thing. And and and I hear what you're saying. I 127 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:20.600 hear what you're saying. You know, because a guy like Manny Machada, 128 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.639 who you love to hate but you love him when you're on when he's on 129 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:28.799 your team, kind of gives you that edge every day you go to the 130 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.440 ballpark, right edge. That's it. Rodney, Well, thank you. 131 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.919 I went three minutes and couldn't come up with a word. The edge. 132 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.679 Yeah, I hear what you're saying, and there is something to that. 133 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.679 There is something too when that guy steps up at the plate and everybody boos 134 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:50.120 him, the opposing crowd boos him and hates him and takes it for the 135 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:56.759 team, right, takes it for the team, And there's something too. 136 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.799 I think there's something to Every team kind of needs that that one guy or 137 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.559 two guys that can bring that to the table. And like you said, 138 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.000 Joe Kelly is that guy. But he's not in the lineup every day and 139 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.000 you don't see him but every fourth, fifth day, so he doesn't kind 140 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:16.320 of really work for what you're talking about. Yeah, he doesn't work. 141 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:20.200 And I think that, by far is the concern, at least my concern. 142 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.960 Talent is there. It's there and we know that and they will be 143 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.879 fine. But we talked about this last year as well in the playoffs. 144 00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:35.919 Where is that guy, that one guy, the guy that can shake it 145 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:43.639 up, maybe the villain, maybe the disruptor, maybe the instigator. Where 146 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:48.639 is that guy that when he pokes his head out of the duck out across 147 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.480 the field they will hold God, oh my god, that we don't know 148 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.440 if he's gonna yeah, you don't know if he's gonna hit a home run 149 00:10:54.559 --> 00:11:00.279 or throw the bat at you. You don't know. Where's that guy at 150 00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:05.399 That guy doesn't exist, that guy like Yas. That's exactly what I was 151 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.320 going to say. Now, granted he kind of spiraled the wrong way, 152 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:18.919 but that guy, there's no guy like that. That seems to be to 153 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.399 me a concern. And we talked about it last year in the playoffs too. 154 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.879 Where is that guy? I'm not talking about a guy when they get 155 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.919 a base hit and they do their little wiggle dance or their little whatever they 156 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.519 do now, and I mean, really, at this point, come on, 157 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.960 let's act tough. How are we act tough? That's their thing. 158 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:46.720 They're the nicest thing. They're the nicest guys. They really are the nicest 159 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:52.200 guys. Okay, well, let's not be so nice. Let's have a 160 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.240 little want it to be the Dodgers. Yeah, I want them to be 161 00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:00.600 the feared Dodgers. I want them to be the hated Dodgers. It doesn't 162 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:05.039 make them bad human beings. It doesn't. It doesn't give the impression that 163 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:09.320 oh my god, you better lock the doors or coming to town. But 164 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:16.879 I mean a little something, a little oh, a little yea, look 165 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.399 like it's bothering you. And I know in one hundred and sixty two games 166 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.679 you can't cause you gotta stay even keel. I got that, I got 167 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:31.720 it. But a little frustration, a little that's what I'm asking for. 168 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.759 Yeah, especially when you're feeling like this time that it feels like a little 169 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.000 rut, right, it feels like a little lull. It feels like it 170 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.159 just and I'm going to say, is going through the motions. But when 171 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:48.360 you're in one hundred and sixty two games, there are periods of time where 172 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.919 you're just you're grinding through it, and it feels like they've hit that part 173 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.840 of the season already. And it's still early. We're not even through the 174 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:00.919 first month of the season. But it feels like they at that that kind 175 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:05.039 of that that dog days of of of a season. That's what it looks 176 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:11.840 like already. Yeah. Yeah, and again I don't know how you get 177 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.919 out of it, but there really is something to to what you're saying, 178 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.559 that that that yasil Pue, that guy can get in a fight at any 179 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:26.080 moment. You know that guy that's so edgy that he h by you not 180 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:28.840 even knowing it. He kind of gets you going and when you're at the 181 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:33.200 ballpark and getting the clubhouse right, just by his antics. He's the guy 182 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.559 that you know runs one hundred miles an hour in the right field and you 183 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.879 know it's gonna take somebody out without even thinking about it. At second base, 184 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:48.440 you know you're gonna get feisty with the umpire go yell at somebody's face. 185 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.600 You know that guy? Where is that guy? Yeah? I meant 186 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.399 that guy be on that team. I mean you mentioned Mickey Rojas. I 187 00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:58.960 don't know if they have that kind of guy. I don't know if they 188 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.759 had that. You got to have that guy to win it all, No, 189 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.200 you don't. But but still in times like this, like you mentioned, 190 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.240 times like this, be sure nice to have you know that guy, 191 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.720 But I don't know who that guy is on this team. Yeah, you're 192 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.639 right, it's show Kelly. Yeah, I mean, but as an everyday 193 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.080 guy, who could it be? It's well, who could it be? 194 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.840 There's nobody it could be. I don't know. Maybe if Pa has has 195 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:30.000 a hot hat and starts hitting the ball, he looks like a guy to 196 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:31.600 get stirred up. But he's too young, too, Yeah, too young. 197 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.440 He looks too young. So who is he? It's Mounsey. Mounsey 198 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:43.159 could be the only guy like that. Yeah, he'll get it out of 199 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.879 the water. Yeah, he could be the only guy currently playing like that. 200 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.679 Yeah yeah, yeah, because everybody else is more. It's really business 201 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.879 like. Yeah, I'm telling you. They show up, they're on time, 202 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:03.519 they form at the highest level possible. But there's never a hiccup. 203 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.120 Nobody makes an off color remark. You don't go to HR. The boss 204 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:11.720 never has to call you in and say knock it off. It's straight down, 205 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.559 straight down Main Street. They got it. They're really good people, 206 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.000 and they're really good at what they do. But once in a while you 207 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:26.440 got to have some crazy man, some knucklehead, some guy shake it up, 208 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:30.799 shake it up with your little identity, gives you a little Yeah. 209 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.639 I mean in baseball, the season is so long, you've got to be 210 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.840 even keeled. You play so many games, so you can't have some lunatic 211 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.879 running around the whole time because it doesn't work. Because at the end of 212 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:43.519 the day, the law of averages that, yeah, right, the law 213 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:48.000 of Averages says you're gonna be fine, and they will be because they're the 214 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:52.600 best team. But it's just it seemed like that was missing last year and 215 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.679 as they have started off and then they lose to in Arona, Washington, 216 00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:02.440 it seems like you need somebody, you know what, we're not hitting. 217 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:04.799 Kick somebody in the ass, brit Well, or I'm gonna go in there 218 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:08.679 and pick up the water cool and just throw it. I am so pissed. 219 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:15.720 Damn it. We got to hit you know something, something, anything, 220 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.440 So guys go, oh my god, I can't believe he's so mad. 221 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:22.720 Wow, we better yeah, do something, you know what I mean. 222 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:27.240 And maybe it's just me watching and maybe it means nothing for the players, 223 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.279 but it's just they're so even keeled, which is important, but they 224 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:38.360 just they could probably use one guy that just is a little little off, 225 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:44.799 a little loose cannon. Little loose cannon can is Yeah, like you said, 226 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:48.080 little you know, brings that little edge to the ballpark every day. 227 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:52.120 You don't know what he's gonna do today. That's what I'm saying. They 228 00:16:52.120 --> 00:17:00.000 don't have that guy. Yeah. Mmmm. It's really interesting point there, 229 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:04.640 Freddy, because there is something to be and I'm thinking like kind of now, 230 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:11.319 I'm thinking about teams that I've been on, there was we always had 231 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:15.839 that guy, at least a couple of them, you know, that would 232 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:22.119 bring in that certain level of I'll fight the whole team if you need me 233 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:27.559 to. You know, a man, Little Steve Smith, receiver from Carolina 234 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:32.319 was that guy for us when I played in Carolina. He was that guy 235 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:34.720 from the moment he got to the stadium, he was wired up and ready 236 00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:38.160 to go and let you know about it. He was going to talk your 237 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:42.799 ear off and he was going to talk the other team's ear off too. 238 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:47.799 But you loved him because he was on your team. You know, he 239 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:51.720 had that little Napoleon complex where he was a small guy but a big heart 240 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:56.079 and played big and he was going to get under the other other team's skin 241 00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:02.880 from the moment the gun sound. Yeah, yeah, that guy, that 242 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:08.400 guy the edge factor. You know, they can be that cocky guy, 243 00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:12.279 that cocky guy tamping the home runs. Like you said once, he can 244 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:22.359 be that guy. He can be that guy. Ah yeah, but that's 245 00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:27.359 not who the Dodgers are. That's not who they are. Maybe they need 246 00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:32.359 to be a little of it, yeah, because you're told to check that 247 00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:34.200 at the door when you get into that, when you put on that uniform. 248 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:37.480 And that's fine. Like I said, you can't be that way the 249 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.759 whole year long, and it's a very long season. But you know, 250 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.720 in the past, they've had the guy that jumps up on the dugout and 251 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.400 starts sticking out his tongue and dancing and waving and god, this is so 252 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.480 much fun. How about we have instead of that guy a different kind of 253 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:57.359 guy with a little edge. It looks like he's going to storm out of 254 00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:04.759 the dugout at any moment. Yeah, yeah, I'm going back up and 255 00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:12.119 thinking about who who could be that little edge? Yeah, you know, 256 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:18.519 at one point you could have said, like, but he has to play 257 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:21.480 morning. When he's playing, you know, it's you can't be that guy 258 00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:25.759 sometimes when you're not playing well, struggling, it's tough. The ki Ki 259 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.359 has that kind of energy a little bit, but he's not in the lineup 260 00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:32.799 every day and he's struggling. Jock Peterson was that it was kind of like 261 00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:36.680 that guy a little bit, even though he's a little aloof Jock was a 262 00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:41.000 little edgy. But the one that comes to mind so so big and vividly 263 00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:47.079 pool isqueak. You know. It is the way he just approached every game 264 00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:51.319 again, like he was such a loose can and you didn't know what it 265 00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:55.480 was, what was gonna happen that day, which means the other team didn't 266 00:19:55.519 --> 00:20:00.119 know either, Right, That's what it means, Just like I think think 267 00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.880 Kevin. You mentioned before the show, Tommy Fam. I'm not saying he 268 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:06.599 signed Tommy Fam. Well, he just signed with the White Sox last week. 269 00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:10.000 Okay, Well that's fine. You know, he basically punched Jock Peterson 270 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.359 over a fantasy football thing. That's the kind of guy you're talking about there, 271 00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:15.000 Fret. I'm talking about a guy like that, just one of them, 272 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.759 someone who've asked, they suggested in the offseason that the Dodgers should sign. 273 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:23.160 So yeah, I'm just talking about one guy like that, one guy 274 00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:27.640 that you're never sure what's gonna happen next. And I'm being honest, I 275 00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:33.640 think I think they could use that. There's nothing wrong. They're the they're 276 00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:38.880 the nicest, they're they're they're gonna win the West, they should win the 277 00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:42.440 World Series. But when you're losing two in a row, and I don't 278 00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:45.599 care if it's three weeks in or two months into Washington, come onlo, 279 00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:51.240 somebody's got to do something. Somebody's got to say, guys, this is 280 00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:56.160 not working for me. Let's get them and two to nothing with that lineup, 281 00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:03.960 two to nothing to Washington. I mean, was Burlander on the hill? 282 00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:11.519 Yeah, I mean Blander Schwartz, It was just like, come on 283 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:15.279 that that just wasn't They're just not gonna get it done. They're not gonna 284 00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.759 get it done. It doesn't matter what point in the year. Come on, 285 00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:23.000 guys, you can't hit them. Well what do you think though, 286 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:29.440 I mean you think that that they they themselves are in this like we are 287 00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:33.079 good enough to to really look, we're gonna be there in the end. 288 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:37.119 Yeah, I don't care what anybody else. We're gonna be there in the 289 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:41.279 end. And there's a part of them said, let's get through. Let's 290 00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.200 just get through these one sixty two because we're gonna be there in the end. 291 00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:49.839 Sometimes you gotta play games with yourself. Sometimes you got to challenge yourself 292 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:55.400 within the game, within the season, you know, within the within the 293 00:21:55.480 --> 00:22:00.200 team. I can remember in my baseball days, I we'd have competitions with 294 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:04.759 with teammates vividly remember Brett Boone who was on our team, my baseball team, 295 00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:10.279 and that seat. We would have competitions every day about who's gonna get 296 00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:12.680 more hits and have little side bets, who's gonna get the first hit, 297 00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:18.960 who's gonna hit a home run? You know, go opposite way this this 298 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:22.400 is bad. I mean things like that that just kept you going. But 299 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:27.839 sometimes you gotta you gotta figure out the extra motivation in a long season, 300 00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:30.759 like especially if you're a team that's so good that you know you're going to 301 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:36.440 be there in the end. But that's the problem. You got to play 302 00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:38.599 it all the way through in order to get the old team hot at the 303 00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:41.039 right time at the end. You can't just turn it on turn it off. 304 00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:47.079 We've seen that doesn't work. Well, just a thought, Okay, 305 00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:51.880 bad man, Fred, that's right? Well what did Miko call me? 306 00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:55.880 Bandana? Fred? Bandana? Fred? That's right? You know, get 307 00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:59.359 you in the dug out there, Fred, I'm surfacing. I'm rising like 308 00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:03.720 a phoenix.

Who hit to go ahead home run 356 00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:41.559 and the seventh inning to give the Dodgers the four to three lead in that 357 00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:47.279 game Cory Seger, Cody Bellinger, Max Munsey, Jack Peterson, Jacques Coustaudy, 358 00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:52.160 Jeff Peterson.

I agree, So let's get the 362 00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:14.920 booth in and make a decision. Let's hear it. Cody Bellinger, Max 363 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:21.880 Munsey, Jack Peterson, Jacques Cousteau.

He's already used the challenge, he said, 377 00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:34.440 fifty seconds behind on that one. Okay, all right, so here we 378 00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:37.839 go. It's the final question. Battle. Oh Chris, wait a battle? 379 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:40.079 No, he's in it. I like his competitiveness.

I love throw Back Thursday's baby It's in that mood today. 419 00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:47.160 Throwback Thursday edition of Afternoon Delight is a b C by The Jackson Five. 420 00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:52.440 Known as one of the band's signature songs, it topped the Billboard charts 421 00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:56.119 in early March in nineteen seventy, knocking Let It Be by the Beatles off 422 00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:00.519 the top of the charts.

Again, today's throwback Thursday edition 425 00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:19.839 of Afternoon Delight is ABC by the Jackson Five. You know it truly said 426 00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:22.480 when somebody doesn't want you, don't you think? Yeah, it is? 427 00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:28.440 It is? You know, you pour your heart and soul into a relationship. 428 00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:31.720 You think you've done all you can do. Yes, you can look 429 00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:37.039 yourself in the mirror and say there's not a thing more I can do, 430 00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:43.839 and ultimately they look at you and say we don't want you. That hurts, 431 00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:51.720 that's really painful. And such is the case for a major league, 432 00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:58.039 a professional sports franchise, the Arizona Coyotes. Listen to this story. Listen 433 00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:01.240 to the story. So, Phoenix is supposed to be a very good sports 434 00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:06.480 market, and what we're learning is it's very good for the Phoenix Suns. 435 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:10.839 And what we also know is it's pretty good if the Diamondbacks win, if 436 00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:15.839 they win, if they win win, yes, and we know that hockey 437 00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:22.640 can perform well in warm weather sites example, Tampa, Florida, Dallas, 438 00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:30.240 Vegas, Vegas, Los Angeles, now Anaheim may draw. So the Coyotes 439 00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:35.960 are there and they have an agreement with the arena in Glendale, right next 440 00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:39.519 to where the Cardinals play out, where the Dodgers train, we're Camelback Ranches. 441 00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:45.720 So things become so convoluted and screwed up. The stadium in Glendale says, 442 00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:52.039 you're not paying your rent. You're not paying your rent. You're out. 443 00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:59.319 We're kicking you out. You're not paying you're out. Now, I've 444 00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:04.799 never heard of that. Yeah, I've never heard of an arena kicking a 445 00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:08.239 team out. You're out. Pay your rent for it. Okay. So 446 00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:12.239 then they go, look, we got a problem here. We got to 447 00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:15.280 figure this out. And really, there's nowhere to play because you're not going 448 00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:19.280 to play where the Phoenix Suns play. It's bad for hockey. The site 449 00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:22.280 lines and that's where they used to play. So they come up with a 450 00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:29.639 plan. The plan is they're going to play at Arizona State University in an 451 00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:36.360 arena that seats five thousand. An NHL team is going to play in an 452 00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:40.880 arena that seats five thousand. Because the big, big plan is this, 453 00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:49.360 they are going to build an entertainment district in Tampee and they're going to pay 454 00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:52.679 for it. By the way, the club, they're going to build an 455 00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:58.400 arena they're going to build an entertainment district, and they just need the land. 456 00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:01.199 Give us the land, doing with anything with it anyway, and you 457 00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:06.880 give us a land, we'll cover everything. You just got to sit back, 458 00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:12.119 relax and watch the magic, because all of a sudden there'll be more 459 00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:16.679 jobs and it'll be great and we'll develop this piece of land and we'll cover 460 00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:21.199 the whole thing. They go, all right, good, let's put it 461 00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:22.719 on the ballot. Let's put on the ballot. Let's se what the voters 462 00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:29.239 think. They put it on the ballot, and the voters go, no, 463 00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:35.800 you're not No, we don't want you. Okay, let me go 464 00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:40.480 a look what we're gonna do now is there's a piece of land in Phoenix 465 00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:47.000 that's up for auction and it's sixty three million dollars. We're gonna buy that 466 00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:52.840 land. If we win the auction, we're gonna buy that land and we're 467 00:35:52.880 --> 00:36:00.280 gonna build an entertainment district and the Coyotes will survive. Then they realize they 468 00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:06.519 can't afford that land, they can't buy the land, they're not gonna win 469 00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:10.840 the auction, and because they got kicked out of their arena to start with 470 00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:16.239 for not paying their rent and because then the people in Timpe wouldn't say, 471 00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:20.599 go ahead, build, it'll be good for all of us. And now, 472 00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:23.760 because they can't win the auction, the Coyotes are moving to Salt Lake 473 00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:30.599 City. And the way it's gonna work is the league is gonna pay the 474 00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:37.800 owners of the Coyotes a billion dollars and take over the team for like ten 475 00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:42.480 seconds, they're gonna turn out, yeah and turn around, it's already been 476 00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:46.239 set and sell the team to this guy in Salt Lake that owns the Jazz 477 00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:52.960 for one point three billion dollars. Then they're gonna take the three hundred million 478 00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:57.159 and split it up amongst all the owners. Goodbye to hockey in Phoenix, 479 00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:01.840 and thanks for playing, does say, but if we ever expand again, 480 00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:06.880 yes, you guys will be top of the list. Okay, Phoenix will 481 00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:09.039 be top of the list again. That's what they said. No, now 482 00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:14.199 let's go step further. Phoenix. That's not confused, people, And Phoenix 483 00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:19.000 is not like Cleveland who lost the football team and and the Browns and the 484 00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:23.679 city of Cleveland so passionate about football they demanded to have it back. I 485 00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:30.760 don't know if Phoenix is a you know the bed of hockey fans in Phoenix 486 00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:35.239 that are dying to have hockey back in Phoenix, and we want it right 487 00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:38.519 back here. Let's go step further. So you know the Diamondbacks are I'll 488 00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:45.559 threatening to leave and they're threatening to leave because the lifespan of a stadium is 489 00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:47.000 twenty five years. Okay, if you're not aware of that, it is. 490 00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:51.440 And at twenty five years you got to start doing things, which goes 491 00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:54.599 by quick by the way it flies. Yes, it flies. So you 492 00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:59.119 go, well, we have to upgrade the stadium. Maybe we need more 493 00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:00.880 luxury box things like that. Now, let me tell you what you really 494 00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:07.599 need. Plumbing. The plumbing starts to go after twenty five years. Infrastructure 495 00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:13.280 things start to fall apart after twenty five years. So aside from the fact 496 00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:15.760 that you want to go and get to a stadium where you can generate more 497 00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:19.960 revenue with a luxuries, more sweets and things like that, you got to 498 00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:22.360 make sure this thing doesn't fall apart. Go down to Anaheim. That'll answer 499 00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:25.159 any questions you have. Yeah, go down there and see what that's like. 500 00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:31.480 All right, So they say we need to improve this Maricopa County City 501 00:38:31.480 --> 00:38:36.280 of Phoenix. You know, we need like two hundred million bucks and it's 502 00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:39.960 we're good to go. We'll fix this pop up and you know we love 503 00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:45.519 you and no, no, and the diamond beat, what do you mean? 504 00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:49.920 No, No, we're not doing it. We're not fixing it up. 505 00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:52.880 We're not giving you the money to fix it up. Well, we'll 506 00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:54.440 spend a little, you spend a little. No, we're not doing that 507 00:38:54.480 --> 00:39:00.920 either. We're not going to do that. So now they are closer to 508 00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:07.119 leaving than you think they are. So that would mean Phoenix would lose hockey 509 00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:12.920 and baseball because the taxpayers aren't going to pay for it. They're just not 510 00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:16.519 going to go for it. They're done with that kind of stuff. If 511 00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:21.960 you can't pay, you shouldn't play. Yeah, so Phoenix, which is 512 00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:25.679 a good sized market, could lose their major league baseball team and they've now 513 00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:30.159 lost hockey. And to be honest with you, the only team that resonates 514 00:39:30.199 --> 00:39:34.039 in Phoenix and Rodney and I both know this the Suns. Then, did 515 00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:37.679 did you hear this? So you know, Kansas City is not going to 516 00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:40.239 help the Chiefs now or the Royals, right, and you know, and 517 00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:45.119 that kind of knocked the Chiefs back on their heels, because you would think 518 00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:49.320 if anybody would be willing to help a professional team, it'd be the people 519 00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:52.599 that's saying Kansas City that has the Chiefs have done so well for meant so 520 00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:54.639 much. Anyway, the mayor of Dallas comes out and goes, you know, 521 00:39:54.719 --> 00:40:00.039 the Chiefs actually started in Dallas. They did the Dallas Texans, right, 522 00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:07.039 so good new mar Hunt, right, good news. I officially welcome 523 00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:10.280 them back to Dallas. The Chiefs should move back to Dallas, and now 524 00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:15.280 we'll have two teams in Dallas. Never happened, never ever in life? 525 00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:20.559 Right, that ever happened. The Mayor of Dallas should be impeached for making 526 00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:23.079 that state Yeah, because that could do one of the stupidest things. Do 527 00:40:23.119 --> 00:40:28.679 you really think, well, first of all, do you really think Jerry 528 00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:31.440 Jones is gonna go Yeah, no problem. You know at and T Stadium. 529 00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:34.519 Well, they got two teams in LA. You can put another team 530 00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:37.960 right here. I'm good, Yeah, I'm good with that. I'm good 531 00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:43.440 with that. Yeah. Who is the yeah right now, the most powerful 532 00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:47.920 owner and has been for a while in the NFL. I think he was 533 00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:52.880 going to allow another team not only to come into Texas, but to come 534 00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:57.119 into Dallas. Are you kidding me? After all the money he spent in 535 00:40:57.159 --> 00:41:00.639 the Dallas area, you're gonna let another NFL. He ran people out of 536 00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:05.320 San Antonio. Remember that big picture of the years there were different teams. 537 00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:08.000 Oh, we're going to San Antonio expansion, san Antonio, san Antonio playing 538 00:41:08.039 --> 00:41:13.079 said that was all Jerry not letting that happen. He was not letting the 539 00:41:13.079 --> 00:41:16.719 team go to San Antonio, and certainly not in Dallas. You're right. 540 00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:22.280 How can the mayor of Dallas fix his mouth to even say something like that 541 00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:25.599 with the historic Cowboys being right there? I mean, I don't know. 542 00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:30.199 If he's up for reelection, he can just forget it. He must not 543 00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:32.960 be. He must not be because to say something as stupid as that, 544 00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:38.079 he will not get re elected number one, and all that campaign money he 545 00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:43.519 was hoping to get, he ain't getting anything. No donations coming his way. 546 00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:46.079 Maybe, oh man, maybe in Dallas if you're elucteds for a lifetime 547 00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:51.039 term, because that's the only way this guy surviving. Only way, here's 548 00:41:51.039 --> 00:41:52.559 the thing, only way, and we've touched on it. If you're a 549 00:41:52.559 --> 00:42:00.199 fan, I think you appreciate it. People are sick and tired of funding 550 00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:07.440 owners' stadiums. They're sick of it. They don't want their tax money used 551 00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:12.119 to fund a stadium where the owner profits. Sure, it creates jobs, 552 00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:15.840 but overall it's the owner making the money. Yeah. The Phoenix situation is 553 00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:22.960 even more bizarre because they said we'll pay for everything, and the voter still 554 00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:23.800 said, no, get the hell out of here, we don't want you. 555 00:42:25.079 --> 00:42:29.760 Can you imagine that would be like in Oakland, Rodney, the owner 556 00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:34.119 of the a's finally decides, well, which he did in Vegas basically, 557 00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:37.480 but he decides, Look, City of Oakland, County of Alameda, whatever 558 00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:42.880 the other third municipality is, I got this. I need nothing from you. 559 00:42:43.239 --> 00:42:45.920 I don't want anything. I will take care of the whole thing. 560 00:42:46.039 --> 00:42:50.199 Just give me that land. Give me a land. I'll pay for everything. 561 00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:52.800 I'll build an entertainment district that'll create jobs. It's gonna be the best 562 00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:57.800 thing ever. I got it. It's give me that land. Cost you 563 00:42:57.880 --> 00:43:00.239 nothing. Oh, let's put it on the ballot. They put it on 564 00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:04.320 the ballot. And if people go, no, we're not giving you the 565 00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:08.880 light, they're they're in essence saying we don't. We're not doing this anymore. 566 00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:14.239 We're not doing anything else. Are they saying that and're not gonna do 567 00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:15.920 anywhere? Are they saying that because we don't trust you, you're going to 568 00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:21.000 try to sneak it in somehow, some way and extra tax here and there, 569 00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:24.639 and it's really the fundest stadium that we're not gonna pay for. Look 570 00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:28.440 on that topic. I was reading this, I know we got a break. 571 00:43:28.519 --> 00:43:30.519 I was reading, you know, the Olympics here coming up in twenty 572 00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:37.119 twenty eight. The big pitch is it'll be privately funded. And that's what 573 00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:38.960 they did back in eighty forward. Peter you bright you were off was the 574 00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:43.320 big deal. Yeah, he changed the world kind of the model. I 575 00:43:43.440 --> 00:43:50.000 was reading the other day. They're in trouble. There's privately funded the Olympics. 576 00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:55.239 Yeah, they're way behind, billions of dollars. It's sponsorships and things. 577 00:43:55.320 --> 00:43:59.800 You know, who's going to eat that? You and me city, 578 00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:02.480 Yep, we're going to eat it. Yeah, we're gonna eat it. 579 00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:07.159 The city will make them whole. But I thought, oh my gosh, 580 00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:09.719 they are really behind. And when they announced they we're going to do it 581 00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:12.599 a certain way, I thought, now they got it, they know how 582 00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:17.480 to do this. They're way way behind and it's public money. And here's 583 00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:22.519 the thing, I do believe people are sick and tired of funding these things. 584 00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:27.440 Yeah, I agree, the Olympics greed stadium's this that Why am I? 585 00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:30.800 Why am I paying for that? Yeah? And as much as you 586 00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:34.880 like you said, the shelf life of a stadium is twenty five years. 587 00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:40.519 As much as people love shiny new things and new toys, if your team 588 00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:44.079 is good, they're gonna show up. They're gonna come to the stadium. 589 00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:49.000 They're gonna come. The Rams played at the Coliseum before they even renovated the 590 00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:54.079 Coliseum. Yep. I mean they were getting seventy five thousand folks there at 591 00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:59.000 the stadium, and especially the year that they a couple of years that they 592 00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:02.320 had when they went unrolled to the playoffs. But you're right, people are 593 00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:07.320 like, I'm not going to fund a five billion dollar stadium. Why why 594 00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:10.960 are we doing this? Why? You know, I'll still go watch the 595 00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:15.800 game, didn't matter. But that's only put money in these owners pockets. 596 00:45:15.960 --> 00:45:21.599 The new stadium means more revenue for them, more suits, more all those 597 00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:23.480 things. So yeah, I think you're right. The people are just fed 598 00:45:23.519 --> 00:45:25.960 up. We're not going to do this anymore. All right, as we 599 00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:30.239 continue this afternoon, David vas Say will join us during the two o'clock hour, 600 00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:36.440 and our buddy Dan Wike here come the NBA playoffs. He will jump on next
