show. No, they're not there. Just come on in, right,

34
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.639
they won't be there for us.
There's no reason to even suggest they would

35
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:15.159
be. They're leaving the casino at
that point in time. Hey, you

36
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:16.960
know where I went last week?
Just come think about it. Where'd you

37
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:21.879
go? Fantasy Springs are our fol
to the Dodgers? Yeah? Yeah,

38
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:25.240
Fantasy Springs Casino. They're pretty cool. That is a nice place out there,

39
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.080
is it really? And they're gonna
come back and do Dodgers again this

40
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:34.039
year? Is it big? Is
it a big place? Yeah? And

41
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.400
they've got entertainment out there. You
can really play golf on the award winning

42
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.840
Clive Clark Eagle Falls Golf Course.
Oh look at you. You know what.

43
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:46.159
You absolutely can go bowling, not
a problem. You can see a

44
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:51.000
show. It's all set up for
you. Restaurants are green, one stop

45
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.840
shop there. You never leave.
H And it's funny that's the kind of

46
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.719
place, as they were explaining to
me, that people go out there,

47
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.360
Yeah, just to really get away
a couple of days and enjoy themselves.

48
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.919
Just to get away for a couple
of days. It's nice, it really

49
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.199
is. They didn't pay for that
today. But I just gonna fucked me.

50
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.439
I'm gonna have to do that because
that you know, you know,

51
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.520
I'm sure you're like me. Sometimes
you just want to get away just for

52
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:15.599
a couple of days. You don't
want to jump on a plane and go

53
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.599
anywhere. You want to just drive
somewhere and you park, you know,

54
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.199
and hang out and just get away
from the everyday life. And it seems

55
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:27.439
like that's a that's a perfect place
to go do that. Yeah. And

56
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.080
the thing I'm learning to is because
when you sit here and actually it's an

57
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.919
Indio, we say, it's just
you know, down the road from Palm

58
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:37.520
Springs. For whatever reason, Indio
has this stigma like, oh my god,

59
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.520
that's like twelve hours away. I
can't go to Indio. Once you're

60
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:46.240
out there, it's not that far, like twenty five minutes, just twenty

61
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.120
five minutes. I mean, it's
not that far. So it was good

62
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.240
to get out there, good to
meet the people, see what it is.

63
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.240
And they're coming back during the Dodger
season. So we're thrilled to have

64
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.080
them back on board. Love that, Love that all right. Speaking of

65
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.520
the Dodgers winter meetings, David Say
is there. He is in Nashville.

66
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.319
He'll join us at twelve thirty.
The question now becomes, what about shoey

67
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.800
Otani. You said it yesterday.
Vic brought it up and he said,

68
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:13.680
uh, Otani is wondering the streets
of Nashville or whatever. He said,

69
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:18.519
like a street walker. And you
said, I don't think he's in Nashville,

70
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:23.319
Vic, Oh, he's in Nashville. Yeah, because there was the

71
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:27.000
media. The Japanese media was there, so he figured that they if they're

72
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.439
there, they know something. Otani
must be there. Well, here's what

73
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:33.160
they should announced. He was in
Florida yesterday. Yeah, at the Blue

74
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:39.920
Jays training facility, checking out where
they conduct spring training. Yes, looking

75
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:44.639
at the facilities. Yes, that's
why would Why would anyone of that magnitude

76
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.040
be in Nashville anyway at the winter
meeting. Yeah, unless you're gonna sign

77
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.439
and you fly in the night before. Yeah, right, unless they make

78
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.959
a big announcement. So he a
big deal about it. Yeah, No,

79
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:56.920
players are going to really just be
hanging out in Nashville right now.

80
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.560
He did meet with the Dodgers,
Dave Roberts just said last week before they

81
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.560
left for Nashville. So now he's
doing his due diligence, you know,

82
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.160
and depending on who you talk to, however, many teams are in the

83
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:12.800
sweep stakes, but you won't really
know till he gets all done. Here's

84
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:16.720
the interesting thing is one I want
to talk about today, reports that why

85
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:20.920
might he stay with the Angels?
Well, number one, because he likes

86
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:27.439
losing? Freddy, Freddy, don't
do that. That was that was a

87
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.800
cheap shot. That wasn't good.
Nice, My apologies to Ron Washington.

88
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.120
Yeah, and Uncle Artie. You
don't want to do that to him?

89
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:40.120
To Uncle Artie? Yeah, Uncle
Arty did. When did Hearty from Uncle

90
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:45.920
Artie? He became uncle Arti when
he decided not to sell the team and

91
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.920
wanted to hang on to it for
a few years more. All right,

92
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:53.600
Yeah, we don't want to go
Artie. That's that old uncle that just

93
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.759
don't want to let go. All
right, So we don't want to upset

94
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.800
Uncle Artie, the cheap uncle too. Hey, using up on my hot

95
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.680
water back there? Yeah, the
use that cold water on him dishes.

96
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:11.040
That's not guardy right there. Well, we don't want to you had all

97
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:15.199
my air close that door. I
want to that door, and y'all,

98
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.160
hey, he's got to take a
shower together. Exactly. Everybody take a

99
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:28.399
shower at the same time. You
can use the same bath water. Water

100
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.639
is still warm, get in that
tub, all right. So anyway,

101
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.519
why might he stay well? And
we've heard this before, and I'm trying

102
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:41.759
to figure out what it means.
Because he's comfortable because they basically let him,

103
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:45.120
uh go with his own routine,
do what he wants to do.

104
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.040
And and and by the way,
there's something to that, you know,

105
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.839
does it outweigh the type of money
that they are throwing at him and a

106
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:56.560
chance to win. Probably not,
But there is a factor that is a

107
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:03.160
factor. Being comfortable in your environment, being comfortable with your surroundings. From

108
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:08.600
time to time you hear players talk
about that that I was comfortable here.

109
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.519
I like the city, I like
the environment, I like my teammates,

110
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.560
I like coming to work here every
day. The environment's great, and it

111
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.079
factors into it. So, I
mean, it's not out of the realm

112
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:20.920
that he feels that way. Now
is that enough to hold on to him?

113
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:25.720
I don't know. Well, but
it's the routine. And from what

114
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.560
I'm reading, it's like the angels
let him do whatever he wants. Now,

115
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.600
I don't even know what the definition
of that is, but it's whatever

116
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:35.360
he wants. So would that mean, you know, if we're in a

117
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:39.519
team meeting, you don't have to
be there. If we have a team

118
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:43.199
picture, we'll find a guy your
height and send him out there on your

119
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.839
jersey and then photoshop you're facing.
You don't have to be in the team

120
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:51.680
picture. Could it be we have
batting practice today, but you don't have

121
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:57.600
to take batting practice. Could it
be any number of things? Well,

122
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.079
doesn't he take batting practice underneath you? Ually he doesn't take it on the

123
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.240
field. I heard the story like
that, but I don't think it's any

124
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.519
major things that will disrupt the team. He doesn't. He doesn't feel like

125
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:13.319
he's that type of guy. But
I would I would imagine that because of

126
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:18.120
all of the attention that he gets
on a regular base, especially probably when

127
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.439
they travel to different cities, that
he has to get some sort of of

128
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.279
a special treatment, whether that be
you know, and it could be under

129
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:31.480
some guys that stay at a different
hotel then the team would would stay at

130
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.799
or or you know, transportation was
different. So it might be some little

131
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.919
nuances that he may have the ability
to have people, you know, part

132
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:45.960
of his camp that have you know, places and have carte blanche of the

133
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:50.360
facility when he's there, like his
his interpreters, his managers, his handlers.

134
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.399
Because there might be a language barrier
that he's allowed to have certain people

135
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.600
around him at all times that can
go areas that other people can't go.

136
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.159
So it might be little things like
that, But I don't think there be

137
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.039
anything that would disrupt the flow of
the team, not like, yeah,

138
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.360
I don't think he would do like
a Russell Wilson, you know, go

139
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.279
in and got my own I got
my own office, I got my own

140
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.639
masseuse, I got my own secretary
here, and all those little things that

141
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.720
Russ did when he first got there. Yeah, because that's what I'm trying

142
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.240
to figure out. What is it
that would seem so daunting that any other

143
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.879
team would not accommodate, Because that's
how it's being positioned. The reason he

144
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.000
would say with the Angels is because
hey, they let him do whatever he

145
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.840
wants. Well, what is it
they let him do that is so daunting?

146
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.360
You know? Could it be he
needs his people around him? That's

147
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.279
probably an accommodation any team would make. Yeah, right, yeah, I

148
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:45.000
mean that kind of him stuff but
if it if it starts to bleed over

149
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:50.879
into things that that Russell Wilson had
his own office kind of thing. You're

150
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:52.320
looking at the Dodgers and you say, all right, well, let's see

151
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.559
Mookie Betts. He's pretty good.
Freddie Freeman, you know what, he

152
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:58.519
can play a little bit. He
can play a little bit. Yeah,

153
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.159
and Kershaw was on this team and
here we all could be this year.

154
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.120
Yeah, you know what, not
too many superstars bigger than him. Yeah,

155
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.399
it wasn't bad. He was okay, right, he was all right

156
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.879
as a player, And they're not
getting all that stuff. Yeah, so

157
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.200
why are we going to give it
to somebody else? So I think it

158
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:24.759
comes down to exactly what is it
that enters into his routine that nobody else

159
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.559
would give him. And that's the
thing I can't figure out. Yeah,

160
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.360
I mean until he says it or
his camp says it, we won't really

161
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.039
know, and it's all going to
be speculation. And I think people like

162
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.000
to run with It's Atlanta. It's
like he had to have white couches when

163
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.279
they traveled on the road. You
know, his locker had to be decorated

164
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:46.399
a certain way, and everything had
to be in Japanese when when he tried

165
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.639
his ticket, his his name tag
over his locker had to be that.

166
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:52.159
I mean, it could be some
crazy stuff that people are going to run

167
00:10:52.200 --> 00:11:00.200
with. But to me, I
don't think that whatever his request made be

168
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:05.759
that another team wouldn't match what the
Angels have been doing since he's been there,

169
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:09.600
Because I cannot be the only reason
he would stay with the Angels,

170
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.799
correct, That cannot be the one
reel. Well, they just let me

171
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:18.360
do what I want. Therefore I
will stay with the possibility that I will

172
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:24.360
never see the playoffs, right,
I mean, just think about it.

173
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:26.360
Right? Yeah, but not enough. That's not enough for him to stay.

174
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.120
That's what I'm thinking. I mean, when you played in the NFL,

175
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:37.000
did guys have these requests? Uh? Did they try to isolate themselves

176
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:41.360
with the things they asked for from
other players? Yeah? But it wasn't

177
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:45.759
It wasn't crazy crazy stuff like we
just talked about with Russ And it became

178
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.159
a running joke with him up in
Denver to the point where you know,

179
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:50.720
Sean Payton had to look at him
going, man, this is all you

180
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.840
got to cut all this out.
This is not gonna work, And and

181
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.960
and he and Russ fed into all
the what his teammates used to say about

182
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.879
them in Seattle, how they you
know, it was dysfunctional with him in

183
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:07.440
the locker room. But no,
it would be you know, small things,

184
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.320
you know, And and it was
mainly the guys in in Dallas because

185
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:16.159
Dallas was such during that time.
It was they were I never seen anything

186
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.240
like it in Dallas really, just
how the players were treated and just how

187
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:28.960
rock starish being being a part of
that organization was at that time. Yeah,

188
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.679
there were there were special entrances and
things like that when we traveled to

189
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:37.519
the hotel that Emmett and Troy would
have to go into certain things that training

190
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:43.000
camp that they would they would be
allowed to do to avoid some of the

191
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:48.559
crazy crowds that were around. But
nothing nothing so outrageous that you didn't you

192
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:50.240
like, looked up and go,
I can't understand why he's doing this.

193
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.919
That's so selfish or that's terrible,
or that's that's uh, that's gonna mess

194
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.600
with the team chemistry. Nothing like
that I've ever seen since I was playing.

195
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.639
I played for sixteen, so I
didn't see any of that. Okay,

196
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.799
and again, so let's go back
to Wotani. When you see that,

197
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:11.080
you're thinking, what what could these
requests be that would be so insane

198
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:18.000
that a would force him to stay
with the Angels or be preclude him from

199
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.840
signing with anybody else. I just
can't imagine what they would be. Maybe

200
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.639
it was, maybe it was the
j LO I gotta have, you know,

201
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.559
white couches in my hotel room when
I travel, I got to have

202
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:33.200
green m and ms wherever I go, and I only want Avion water.

203
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.200
And maybe it was I want my
own plane. Who knows what it is.

204
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.960
Yeah, I'm gonna travel separately.
I travel separately. I need my

205
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:45.679
own plane. You can't do that, And you know, no one's gonna

206
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:46.840
do that. No one's gonna hear
him his own plane. And from what

207
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.360
we know, which we don't know
a whole lot, because he's very,

208
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.120
you know, very private with his
private life. We don't know he's like,

209
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.639
but he doesn't seem like he's that
kind of guy that would request certain

210
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:00.879
things like that, or I need
my own plane, or I'm going to

211
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:05.879
stay at a total different hotel than
everybody else. Sometimes that might be the

212
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:07.360
case to kind of throw off the
set a little bit, and I get

213
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:09.960
that, but to say that,
yeah, I want my own plane,

214
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:16.639
I want you know, certain things
that are just ridiculous that no other player

215
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:22.600
would want or get at that period
of time. Today, veterans are giving

216
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.159
back to the community and handing out
holiday trees to those in need. Our

217
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.840
annual season of giving is happening right
now. Help raise money for Dream Center

218
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:33.759
LA to provide holiday meals for families
in need, toys for kids, holiday

219
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.080
trees delivered by veterans that want to
get back to our community. You can

220
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:41.039
help donate now at a five seventy
LA sports dot Com. David Vassill be

221
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.720
out at twelve thirty. We'll ask
him what he's heard. Maybe he knows

222
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:50.159
what these requests would be. When
we come back. All right, he's

223
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.879
in a plane, he made a
video and now he's going to jail for

224
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.840
six months. We'll explain, Oh
yeah, oh yeah, gotta let this

225
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.240
marinate a little bit longer. Fred, we're in the holiday season, man,

226
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:05.919
Ronnie has been doing it. He's
coming with it with the holiday music

227
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:11.440
and I absolutely love it. And
I'm here for Rodney pet Fred Rogan on

228
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:15.399
a Tuesday, Let's go. You
know, when we were younger, we

229
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.840
did stupid things. Probably we would
never tell anybody the stupidest thing we did.

230
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.000
Now. Back then nobody knew we
did it because there was no way

231
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.480
to capture it. Well, today
you can capture everything, and people think

232
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:33.919
they can make a splash or gain
notoriety by doing pretty stupid things. Remember

233
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.519
your jackass. Yes, okay,
yes, that was all about I'm just

234
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:43.840
gonna put myself in a position to
get crushed smashed. This made a fortune

235
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.840
and make a fortune out of it, all right. But even back then

236
00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:50.200
we were to savvy with our phones. We didn't have the ability to do

237
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.919
the kinds of things we can do
today. So I know this story happened

238
00:15:54.080 --> 00:16:00.279
in twenty twenty one, but the
result has now been been sent out an

239
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:06.759
influencer. Trevor Daniel Jacob, thirty
years old, an experienced pilot and skydiver.

240
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.519
In June, he did plead guilty
to one kunt of destruction and concealment

241
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:17.519
with the intent to obstruct a federal
investigation. So what he did he had

242
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:18.679
an idea, I know how people
are going to look at my stuff.

243
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:23.480
I know how I got sponsors.
I know how some television network will pick

244
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:27.000
me up to do a show of
insane things. This is my idea.

245
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:33.120
I'm a pilot, right, I'm
gonna get in the plane, I'm gonna

246
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:37.879
take off, I'm gonna start flying
the plane. Then when i'm I'm gonna

247
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:44.399
record all of it. I'll have
cameras everywhere. Then you will actually see

248
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:48.799
me, because what I'm gonna say
is that the plane was having problems and

249
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:53.200
I had to bail out of the
plane. So you will watch me bail

250
00:16:53.240 --> 00:17:00.480
out of the plane with a parachute
and parachute to safety a moving plane that

251
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:07.559
I'm the pilot of. What could
possibly go wrong with that? What could

252
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:12.599
possibly mess up with that? Yeah? And then yeah, who's gonna have

253
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:15.599
an issue with that? Yeah,
I mean, nobody's gonna have an issue

254
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.359
with that. I'm I'm you know, no one's gonna. I'm not gonna

255
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.920
get in trouble for this. Oh
my god, did you? I mean

256
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.000
I watched this thing? The guy
it was. First of all, he

257
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:34.799
was way too like calm to suggest
that, like the plane had issues on

258
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:41.720
its own, Like it wasn't like
it wasn't playing. Come on, he's

259
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:47.200
way too calm up in the air. Oh my god, holy holy holy,

260
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.920
like doing all that knowing that he's
crashing the plane on purpose, claiming

261
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.000
that it's got engine failure or whatever. His failure has got that the plane

262
00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:59.640
he's got to bail out. Do
you think one of the keys when investigators

263
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:02.519
looked at this was that he was
holding a selfie stick in his hand.

264
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:06.720
Do you think that might have been
a little bit of a giveaway? Do

265
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:11.799
you think so? And do you
think that a company hired him to promote

266
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:17.599
a product which he agreed he would
do, is he was jumping out of

267
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:22.480
the plane, do you think when
the investigators looked at that, they might

268
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:26.000
have thought, I'm not so sure
you had engine problems with that plane.

269
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:30.720
And do you think anybody, anybody
would have been concerned that the plane crashed.

270
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.119
Do you think that was a problem
at all? But the plane crashed,

271
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.400
Yeah, So you know, the
only good thing is that he did

272
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:45.319
crash it in the middle of nowhere, in the mountain somewhere. But still

273
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:48.279
you don't know, you know,
you don't know. It could have been

274
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.839
a gust of wind or whatever.
If there's engine failure, the plane is

275
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:55.920
just on its own. You don't
know. If that plane gets knocked off

276
00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:00.920
course and happens to you know,
drift to a popular I mean, anything

277
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:06.000
could happen when you're that high and
you're you're talking about a plane just floating

278
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:10.480
on its own. Do you think
it was a problem ridus when the Justice

279
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:14.319
Department talked to him and said,
look, you told us about the crash,

280
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.839
you're responsible for preserving the wreckage,
and you've got to tell us where

281
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:21.480
it is. And then he lied
and said he didn't know where the location

282
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:25.359
was. Do you think there was
a problem when he investigators looked into that,

283
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:26.640
it was a big problem. I
think it was a big problem.

284
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:30.920
He didn't know where it was,
But then he didn't he find the plane

285
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.680
right after it crashed, or went
to the plane and it was you know,

286
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:37.160
had videotape of the plane once it
was down. Yeah, But do

287
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:41.000
you think that they didn't know where
it was? No? No, But

288
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:44.839
do you think this was a problem
that then he and a friend flew to

289
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:48.400
the site in a helicopter that was
used to lift the wreckage and fly it

290
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:51.839
to a trailer attached to his pickup
truck. According to the agreement he signed,

291
00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:53.920
the plane was later cut up and
the parts were disposed of and trash

292
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:59.720
bench. There's a problem you think
that was an issue, Yeah, kind

293
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:06.359
of. What So for this marvelous
attempt at becoming a major league influencer,

294
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:11.799
he will spend six months in federal
prison. What is wrong with people?

295
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:17.880
Yeah? Good? You know this, this desire, this need, this

296
00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:22.799
this yearning to be famous and to
have people know who you are and to

297
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:29.279
follow you, it's really unhealthy.
It's just unhealthy that you would live your

298
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:33.279
life that way. Can you imagine
how many people could have been hurt?

299
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:34.839
I mean, and at this point
it's terrible to say, well, if

300
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:37.559
he died, that's his problem,
But who else could have been hurt?

301
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:45.039
Who else could have been victimized by
this? Then to lie to federal agents

302
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:51.319
about it? Crash a plane?
That is messed up, Rodney. I'm

303
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:56.359
just telling you it is. It's
messed up, and it's a you know

304
00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:00.160
kind of it feels like I'm making
a mockery out of you know, pilots

305
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:06.079
or even emergency situations that you're going
to stage this, you know, for

306
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:10.720
people that have been in real life
tragic situations or pilots that I have had

307
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:15.880
to deal with, you know,
real life situation. It's just like feels

308
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:19.119
like he's making a mockery of it, a joke of it for his own

309
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:23.200
personal gain. I'll ever tell you
a story about when I was flying to

310
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:27.920
Newark. No, okay, So
and I just take this flight all the

311
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:30.240
time. And I worked for NBC
because I flying to Newark to go to

312
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.599
New York. Yeah, I figured
it was just quicker than flying in the

313
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.240
JFK. So we flying in new
Work. We're up here, we go,

314
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:41.759
we're about hitting We're getting close to
Vegas and all of a sudden you

315
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.160
feel the plane turn around. Plane
turns around, is headed back to LA

316
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:48.200
And I'm saying to myself, I
think we're going back to Los Angeles.

317
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:51.519
Sure enough, we're going back to
Los Angeles. We land. They say,

318
00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:52.960
listen, there was a mechanical issue. We're going to get it addressed,

319
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:56.480
and uh, we'll let you know. You know, when it's ready

320
00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:00.359
to go, Everybody off the plane. Everybody get off the plane. So

321
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.839
we all get off the plane.
We're back in the waiting area and the

322
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.880
pilots are off the plane. Now
they're standing behind the place where you check

323
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.200
in. They're just standing there talking. So of course me I walked up.

324
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:11.640
I said, hey, guys,
what happened? They said, oh,

325
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:15.799
that's not a big deal. We
had a failure of the central hydraulic

326
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:21.160
system. I said, hm,
hydraulics, isn't that what makes the plane

327
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:23.880
go up in the air? And
the guy goes yeah. I said it

328
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:27.559
was failing. He goes yeah,
oh yeah, yeah. I said,

329
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:30.559
well, what would have happened?
He said, well, it wouldn't have

330
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.240
stayed in the air. That's why
we came back to Los Angeles. So

331
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.400
I said, oh, my god, that's got to be the worst thing

332
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:40.759
is a pilot you've ever dealt with. Then the guys said, oh,

333
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:42.759
no, you want to hear a
story. I said, sure. Again.

334
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:47.039
They were flying to Newark. I
wasn't on this flight. So they

335
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:49.359
get up in the air and they're
flying and they're going and all of a

336
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:52.720
sudden, they put the seat belt
signs on. So the seat belt signs

337
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:59.200
are on, and I don't know
if they triggered the oxygen masks or not,

338
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.240
but he said, the seatbelt sides
are on. And he said one

339
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:07.839
of the flight attendants knocked down the
door and they didn't open it immediately right,

340
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:11.839
And he said, so she knocked
again. She knocked again, and

341
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.440
she said from outside the door,
some of the passengers are uncomfortable, can

342
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:18.720
you you know, let me know
what's going on. They opened the door

343
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:25.039
and the cockpit was on fire.
It was on fire, and the guy

344
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:32.519
said, the co pilot had the
fire extinguisher out and they were wearing masks,

345
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:38.039
and he said, they put the
fire out, landed, fixed it

346
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:42.000
whatever they did, and took off
again. And I said, oh my

347
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:47.000
god. He said, no,
that stuff really happens, but that's why

348
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:49.039
we're here to take care of it. And then when you hear about this

349
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:56.319
guy jumping out of a plane making
a mockery of stuff when people have actually

350
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:00.160
had to deal with those situations,
it just makes you think that's that's wrong

351
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.599
on so many yeah, so many
levels, so many levels. I mean,

352
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:08.880
you know, life is a blessing, right, Why why are you

353
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:15.480
trying to intentionally jeopardize your own life? And then not to mention, yeah,

354
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:21.160
you crashed it an open air up
in the mountains and seemed like nobody

355
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:23.079
was around, but against who knows
how that plane could have drifted. But

356
00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:26.880
yeah, just for the real folks
out there, for the for the pilots

357
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:30.039
that had, like you said,
been through real situations, that's not funny

358
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:33.279
to them, No, not at
all. All right, don't forget.

359
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:38.319
During the program today we all getting
away tickets and those tickets will be for

360
00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:42.759
the Chargers and Broncos game. Of
course, the game will be it so

361
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:47.559
fine, So we'll give you a
chance to win, and uh we'll give

362
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:51.519
you to to call there. Also
next hour we'll be discussing the NBA and

363
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:57.599
Season Tournament, which everybody loves,
which everybody loves, and tonight's Lakers are

364
00:24:57.599 --> 00:25:00.720
in a quarterfinal match against the feat
Nick Suns. Now, for to be

365
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.640
honest and fair, we don't really
know what any of that means, but

366
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.200
I know this. People love the
nd season Tournament, and that means I'll

367
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:11.880
have the tournament court out tonight,
which I think every game should be played

368
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.200
on those tournament courts. I love
those courts. I'm telling you, it's

369
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:17.799
the best thing about the tournament is
the courts, right. I think that

370
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:22.279
they should play all games on those
courts each and every year, and not

371
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.240
just the tournament games. You know, at first some people thought, oh,

372
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:27.960
I don't know about that, But
then when you really look at me

373
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:33.039
and watch the game, it's fun. It kind of looks more like European

374
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:38.160
basketball. Yeah, you know.
Yeah. Oh, European basketball meets space

375
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:45.680
jam, I love it all right. We're trying to hook up with David

376
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:49.559
Vassa, who was at the Winter
meetings in Nashville, and when we get

377
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:52.880
him on the line, we'll do
it. Busy man down there, he's

378
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:56.680
busy. Well, something might be
breaking right now for all weeks. Yeah,

379
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:00.640
never know, something might be going
on. Dave rob did say that

380
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:06.519
they met with Shohey Otani just before
everybody left for Nashville, and that conversation

381
00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:10.160
was at Dodger Stadium. So the
Dodgers did have their meeting with Otani.

382
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:12.279
We know he has now met with
the Blue Jays because he was at their

383
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:17.400
training facility yesterday in Florida. What
was it about the Blue Jays that they

384
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:19.720
were saying that he loves the city. He loves Toronto as a city too,

385
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:23.119
Yeah, and he likes to hitting
that ballpark. Likes to hitting that

386
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:27.519
ballpark. Yeah, likes to hitting
that ballpark. Uh, so we know

387
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:33.200
that is in fact in play.
In the meantime, the Dodgers continue on

388
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.279
in their quest. He liked that
short porch, that porch and right field

389
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.599
at Dodgers Stadium too. There's no
there's actually no reason for him not to

390
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.119
sign with the Dodgers unless they're gonna
pay him the most money. They're gonna

391
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:51.279
do whatever needs to be done.
Unless his wishes are so bizarre they will

392
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:56.000
accommodate all of them. So I
can't see why he wouldn't sign with the

393
00:26:56.039 --> 00:27:00.559
Dodgers. But you know, as
Vic says, nobody knows what he's thinking,

394
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.839
and there's absolutely no indication at this
point of what is going on.

395
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:11.960
In the meantime, they remain committed
to Yamamoto. That's the guy they're committed

396
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:15.359
to. That's the guy they're trying
to chase down and sign. Twenty five

397
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:18.119
year old Japanese right hander. That
would be a pretty good deal if they

398
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:22.079
could pull that off. There's now
a sense too that the name Dylan cecila

399
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:26.319
White Sox has been mentioned and the
way that, well, here, we've

400
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:27.079
got Dave right now. I'll just
bring him on. Hey, Dave,

401
00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:32.480
how are you. I'm doing great, guys. Yeah, Dave Roberts for

402
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:37.000
the second straight day making some news
here at the Winter Meetings where there really

403
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:44.000
hasn't been, and he confirmed when
asked by reporters during his manager media sesshin

404
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:47.960
whether or not the Dodgers had met
with sho Hey Otani not only did he

405
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:52.240
confirm the Dodgers had met with him, he was involved in the meeting and

406
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:56.240
he said it took place two to
three days ago at Dodgers Stadium. So

407
00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:03.759
he's the first guy to say anything
about meeting with Otani confirming that the Dodgers

408
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.039
had met with him. What the
ramifications to that is? And I don't

409
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:11.880
know, but I appreciate the transparency
because, look, we're not trying to

410
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.880
solve world peace here. It's baseball, and I think that needs to be

411
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:22.119
in context because from everybody's standpoint here
in Nashville, it's becoming a little ridiculous

412
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:26.079
with the process. Ridiculous. I
mean, does it so much attention,

413
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:29.640
Dave? I mean, I know
you've got there's a contingency here now,

414
00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:34.640
the secrecy about everything, the secrecy
about it, and a lot of people

415
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:41.039
that cover the sport feel like Otani
has kind of done a disservice to Major

416
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:47.880
League Baseball by not handling his free
agency as publicly as Lebron James did for

417
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:51.519
the NBA. I mean, that's
why everybody's here at the Winter meetings and

418
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:56.039
it seems like a lot of people
believe the secrecy has not done the league

419
00:28:56.200 --> 00:29:00.960
any favors to try to grab the
headlines from sport. It's like the NFL

420
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:03.960
and NBA during the winter most month. What would you have him do,

421
00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:07.240
Dave? Differently, would you have
him talk about the teams that he's meeting

422
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:10.440
with? I mean, what would
you have Otanian in his camp do?

423
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:15.119
He doesn't need to say anything,
But you know this, guys, there's

424
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.559
ways to get information out and create
buzz. Lebron does it better than anybody.

425
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:25.119
And let's face it, O'toni is
major League Baseball's transcendent athlete and he

426
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:32.519
has six million followers on Instagram.
There's ways to create buzz and that's just

427
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:37.079
the way he and his representative have
preferred it since he arrived here in Major

428
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:42.880
League Baseball to be extremely secretive.
And Jeff Passing reported that any team that

429
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:48.119
you know, gives any details about
meetings, it's going to be held against

430
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:52.920
them. So all of those things
have kind of scared everybody into not really

431
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:57.480
talking about it as much as Ave
Roberts did today. Dave, when the

432
00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:00.200
reports come out, well, you
know, the the Angels still could be

433
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:03.599
in it, because you know they
accommodate his requests, and he's a big

434
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:07.799
routine guy. What in the world
could his request be that would be so

435
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:11.319
astronomical that no one else would go? You know, we're good with that.

436
00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:18.160
I think anybody would meet any requests
Otani had that are still in it,

437
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:21.880
and I've told you guys, the
Blue Jays are in it. I

438
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:26.039
don't know what Otani's thinking, whether
it's the Dodgers, the Angels, the

439
00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:30.839
Blue Jays, but I would imagine
any team would be able to be a

440
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:36.839
little nimble with the requests and we'll
see where it goes. But right now,

441
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:41.720
nobody knows his thinking. And even
Dave Roberts was asked what was O'tani's

442
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:45.920
demeanor in the meeting, and he
said he has a very good poker face.

443
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.720
So not even in that meeting,
according to Dave Roberts, would he

444
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:52.799
tip whether or not he was all
in or not. Is it still the

445
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.720
feeling day He's not. This is
not going to drag out though long.

446
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.640
This is going to happen maybe before
the New Year, before or Christmas,

447
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:04.759
board holidays. A lot of people
believed it was gonna happen during this week

448
00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:11.200
here in Nashville Rodney, But there
were reports that the Blue Jays GM met

449
00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:15.279
with o'tani at their spring training facility
in Florida and then flew to Nashville.

450
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:21.200
So, honestly, I think the
expectation, the buzz around the winter meetings

451
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:25.799
from the people I've spoken to,
believe that o'tanni will make his decision within

452
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:30.279
the next week or two. Hey, Dave, rumors floating around the Dodgers,

453
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:34.000
maybe interest in trading for Randy A
Rose Arena, any truth to that?

454
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.279
I don't. I mean, I
like Randia Rose Arena. I just

455
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.559
don't know if that's that's one hundred
percent accurate. Maybe his name was brought

456
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:51.839
up in a conversation, but certainly
the Raisin Dodgers are talking about Tyler Glass

457
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:56.599
now more than Randy A Rose Arena. Not a Glass now, Oh yeah,

458
00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:00.359
yeah, yeah yeah. And what's
the latest on Dylan c Is it

459
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:04.880
reports that the White Sox the Dodger's
not close to what the White Sox want.

460
00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:08.359
Are the White Sox being overly greedy
for what they want? For sees,

461
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:14.519
Well, there's two more years of
control for Cees and he's a number

462
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:20.160
two, number three type of starting
pitcher and That's what I'm hearing as well.

463
00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:25.279
It's not close to moving anytime soon. While we're in Nashville. The

464
00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:30.720
Sea's market and basically it's not moving
until Otani signs because then you're starting to

465
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:36.240
get more teams that did not land
Otani, or if they did land Otani,

466
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:38.640
have a little bit more clarity on
what their roster and needs are going

467
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:44.119
to look like. So, yeah, the talks aren't continuing between the White

468
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:47.200
Sox and Dodgers and a few other
teams, but nothing is close to happening

469
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:52.640
right now. And what happened to
talk about Corbyn Burns is that dead It

470
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:59.480
seems to be fred From what I'm
gathering, the Brewers are intent on keeping

471
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:05.599
Burns until the trade deadline. That
seems to be the scuttle. But surrounding

472
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:09.839
Milwaukee and what they're looking at,
maybe things would change depending on what they

473
00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:15.119
were offered. If there's a deal
that they cannot turn down, then I'm

474
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:20.160
sure they would consider it. But
the buzz in the lobby here in Nashville

475
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:24.160
is that the Brewers intend to keep
Corbyn Burns until midway through the season to

476
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:30.799
see whether or not they're in the
week and ol Central race hey, forget

477
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:32.400
all that other stuff. How you
doing down there in Nashville, Dave?

478
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:37.359

like a national star. That was it?

507
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:39.039
Yeah, I mean look, he
did an attempt to crash a plane

508
00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:42.519
like our guy. And I'll say, you're not suggesting he did that on

509
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:45.760
purpose? Like this guy is this
I want to call him an idiot because

510
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:47.679
people get on me. But yeah, like the guy that crashed a plane,

511
00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:51.880
he's not you're not suggesting Dave did
that on purpose? Down the slide?

512
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:52.880
Are you no? But but I
have to give him a lot of

513
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:55.000
credit. I mean, Dave comes
on. He always gives us crap.

514

slower friend by Kate Tranada. Thanks
Kevin a lot. I mean, I

545
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:31.159

to say, Fred did that to get

546
00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:34.679
back at all of us, for
all those times that he had to do

547
00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:37.000
this. You know what's funny.
I love me and I wish I had

548
00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:42.880
have done it today because I'm so
unto the work of the Portland Rapper me

549
00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:46.280
and I yeah, yeah, yeah, certainly not like the spelling at all,

550
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:00.800
nor weekly chat with a good friend. Jacob and Ronnie Jacob. How

551
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:04.800
are you today, gentlemen, gentlemen, how are you good? Here's the

552
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:08.719
question, here's the question. So
we talked about this guy earlier. He

553
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:14.519
was an influencer. A pilot flew
the plane, jumped out of the plane,

554
00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:17.480
had a selfie stick recorded the whole
thing, had a parachute on,

555
00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:22.400
parachuted to safety. He wanted to
do it as an influencer to promote some

556
00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:28.880
product, plane crashes into the forest, guide lies to the Feds, then

557
00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:31.119
he gets six months in prison.
Is that enough for that? Jacob?

558
00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:37.760
Is that enough or what for what
he did? Crashed the plane into the

559
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:49.159
forest on purpose? Are you kidding
me? Absolutely? I mean, I

560
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:52.400
mean you look at stuff like that, and then you look at somebody who

561
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:58.039
got twelve years fifteen years, you
know, for something that was not even

562
00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:00.639
intentional. I mean, you know, those are the type of things that

563
00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:06.519
sometimes, you know, really makes
you want there. That's a good point.

564
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:10.599
I think it's a very good point. Uh, Jacob and season tournament

565
00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:15.599
tonight? Uh, quarterfinal game Lakers
and Phoenix. You love the nd season

566
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:20.280
Tournament, don't you? I do? I? Actually you know I didn't.

567
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:23.400
I didn't start loving it, but
I think and as I watched these

568
00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:27.400
games, and as I see how
you know, exciting it is. I

569
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:32.000
was watching the Sacramento game last night
with New Orleans that was a really exciting

570
00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:39.559
game. I watched the Pacers beat
the Celtics. That was an exciting game.

571
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:43.280
You know, I can't wait to
go tonight. That's good. Are

572
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:47.679
you guys coming any either of you? I'm waiting for Vegas? Are you

573
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:51.239
You're waiting for the finals. Yeah, I'm waiting for Vegas. No,

574
00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:53.960
I don't wait to go to Vegas. Yeah, I think your big time,

575
00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:58.199
Rodney. We can't go to Vegas. So we're just gonna go right

576
00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:00.079
here, just start having our back
yard. You know, just got a

577
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:05.159
crypto. Oh Jacob, No,
now listen, you're talking to a guy

578
00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:07.559
that knows you. Now, I
know you can go to Vegas. Come

579
00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:10.800
home, brother. But you're right
though, I think that, you know,

580
00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:15.000
as time has gone on, I
think it has gotten to the players

581
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:17.960
where this is this is actually pretty
good and pretty cool. And I think

582
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:22.159
they're more into it as these games
have gotten on and they played more,

583
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:25.920
and now we're getting close to the
finals. I think it is becoming something

584
00:41:25.960 --> 00:41:31.800
that the that the guys are taking
more seriously. Oh absolutely. I mean

585
00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:35.320
you could see it. You could
see it in their face. I mean,

586
00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:37.039
you know, it's interesting. You
know, I was watching a game

587
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:44.400
where the Celtics were up by I
think eighteen points and then they started to

588
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:46.800
take a couple of more threes because
they had to win by like twenty eight

589
00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:52.320
or twenty nine, and the Celtic
coach kind of walked over to the Chicago

590
00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:53.679
coach and was explaining telling, hey, you know what, I'm not really

591
00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:58.079
running this up, but we need
to you know, we need that point

592
00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:01.159
differential. And I was like,
how interesting because you know, usually you

593
00:42:01.239 --> 00:42:06.320
got people who get angry why somebody
takes a you know, a layup at

594
00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:08.639
the end of the game and people
start to push each other, and here

595
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:13.079
this guy just ran up another ten
points. So you could tell that they're

596
00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:16.639
all in and you know, those
regular things that would tick them off as

597
00:42:16.679 --> 00:42:20.440
a regular season game, you know, is off the table. They know

598
00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:23.920
what they're going for. Jacob Our
listeners love when you offer advice, and

599
00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:27.280
this is something I've been thinking about
for some time. You get to an

600
00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:30.800
accident, you start dealing with it, how long should your your case take?

601
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:37.519
Because I think we here want immediate
action, immediate answers, and I

602
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:40.440
think it leads to people taking the
first off or presented to them. Does

603
00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:45.320
that happen happens often? And I
think, you know, this is a

604
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:51.599
really important topic because you know,
people get involved in accidents and everybody wants

605
00:42:51.639 --> 00:42:54.599
to know how quickly is it going
to be over? The problem is if

606
00:42:54.639 --> 00:43:00.679
your case is over really quickly,
it means that you expectations of how much

607
00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:06.400
you can recover or you want to
recover for your injuries are not really reasonable.

608
00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:09.000
You know, as attorneys, we
work on a contingency, and what

609
00:43:09.039 --> 00:43:15.480
that means is our clients don't pay
us a penny until and unless we win,

610
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:19.320
and you know, when we're trying
to get them a just settlement,

611
00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:25.519
it is important that we as attorneys
ethically do everything in our power to number

612
00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:29.360
one, get them the best treatment
and number two, get them the best

613
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:32.079
settlement. What en is up happening
is that depending on the type of attorney

614
00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:37.360
that you pick, that could be
completely different. At our firm, you

615
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:43.199
know, over ninety percent of our
cases settle without having to file a lawsuit.

616
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:45.599
And if you don't have to file
a lawsuit, that means your case

617
00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:52.400
is settling before the two year statute
of limitation. The problem here becomes is

618
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:57.840
that often a lot of firms are
not even willing to file a lawsuit on

619
00:43:57.920 --> 00:44:00.719
a case, and they're just settling
your case and telling you this is the

620
00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:05.480
best offer, and usually it's the
first or second offer. At our firm,

621
00:44:05.960 --> 00:44:09.679
unless we get at least three to
four back and forth with the adjuster,

622
00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:16.320
we don't even look at potentially even
recommending a potential settlement to our clients

623
00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:22.159
because we know they got more money
and if the facts actually are there,

624
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:29.000
we have no problems fighting for three
to four years. The issue becomes is

625
00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:34.000
trying to make sure that a client
is also as devoted to the timeline.

626
00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:37.239
So, you know, what I
want all the listeners to know is that

627
00:44:37.719 --> 00:44:42.239
trying to push for your case to
settle immediately is not always in your best

628
00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:45.800
interest. What's in your best interest
is to take the time, get as

629
00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:52.280
much treatment as you truly need,
and then allowing your attorney to take the

630
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:55.599
time that they need in order to
settle your case. So don't rush your

631
00:44:55.639 --> 00:45:00.480
attorney, especially if your attorney is
a litigator like we litigate, you know,

632
00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:04.400
hundreds and hundreds of cases every year, and we're not willing to take

633
00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:07.440
the first offer. And for that
reason, the insurance companies know that if

634
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:12.679
they're going to throw some lobile offer
at us, it's immediately going to go

635
00:45:12.719 --> 00:45:17.159
to our litigation department. And that's
why our clients often, uh you know,

636
00:45:17.599 --> 00:45:22.519
get the higher end of those offers
and benefit from it because of the

637
00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:25.440
fact that we're not trying to get
the first offer. Turn you know turn

638
00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:30.000
and turn these cases. We want
every case to get enough attention and to

639
00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:35.280
get the value it deserves. Outstanding, Jacob. We love when you come

640
00:45:35.320 --> 00:45:38.360
on. Thanks thanks for the advice
today. Thank you guys. Have a

641
00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:43.320
great day you too. All right, more on the tournament. Likers play
