4
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.160
will divide us without a shadow of
it. Out our good friend from the

5
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:21.199
La Times, the esteemed columnist Dylan
Hernandez and Dylan, thank you for jumping

6
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:24.600
on today, No, thank you
for having me on the Happy New Year

7
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.679
to you, guys, hope hope
in good for you guys. Happy New

8
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.079
Year to you. Your kids are
back in school, so you're happy now?

9
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:35.240
Oh they are not? Actually one
more week man, Oh no,

10
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.119
no, no, yeah, I'm
putting I'm putting in the extra shift here.

11
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.159
Oh my god. Well only a
week to go. But you know,

12
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.240
look at it like this, the
time you have with them, you'll

13
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:48.679
never get back. That's true.
Yes, yeah, no, it's been

14
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:53.799
fine. Yeah. So uh yeah, just a few more days and I

15
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.600
will be out of town this weekend
for the Rams game up in San Francisco.

16
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.719
So yeah, really, so I
just have to get through a couple

17
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:02.520
more here. All right, Well, let's start with the Rams. I

18
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:07.000
want to talk Rams and also Lakers
and little Dodgers. So Jonas will start

19
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.200
with the Rams. I got to
tell you as I look at it right

20
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:12.480
now, Uh, Dylan, I
think it's been a magnificent season. You

21
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.359
think the Rams can win the Super
Bowl? I think you're over hyping them

22
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.680
a little bit. But I do
believe that this has been a magnificent season,

23
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.719
perhaps Sean mcvay's best job coaching ever
except when they won the Super Bowl.

24
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.400
I know they're going to be a
tough out. Do you really think

25
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:32.719
they can win the whole thing?
Well, they're in it so technically yes,

26
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.519
but not really no. I mean
we you know, we do see

27
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.760
the flause there, right, I
mean, you know, I mean,

28
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.799
who knows about the kicking game?
You know, they brought back a guy

29
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.799
they got rid of once already.
You know, I do think the defensive

30
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.319
backfield there's some problems there obviously,
But but you know, like you said,

31
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.280
right, you know, I do
think that given kind of what they

32
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.400
started the season with and all the
uncertainty of stuff, they've managed to develop

33
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.280
a bit of an identity. You
know, I like to pass rush,

34
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:01.719
right. A couple of the young
kids that really kind of stepped up there.

35
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:05.959
Uh, you know, they finally
have like a running game for the

36
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.680
first time probably since Todd Gurley was
healthy, which was you know, it

37
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:12.919
feels like forever ago now, So
I totally agree with you. You know

38
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.960
that they have kind of you know, this has been a great season for

39
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.360
McVeigh. You know, and again
if you look at a talent level between

40
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:21.759
that Super Bowl team and what you
know, talent kind of that they have

41
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:23.919
right now where you know, again
with all the dead money coming off the

42
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:28.599
books, you know, this offseason, I expect that they're right, you

43
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.560
know, there's gonna be a decent
amount of roster overhaul. You know.

44
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:34.240
That said, you know, they've
They've built some foundational pieces here. I

45
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.479
would argue that this is actually his
best season as a coach, you know,

46
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.479
in terms of getting the most out
of the talent that he has well

47
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:44.199
like their ability to and you mentioned
you know, Kyen Williams and just sort

48
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.759
of the young guys, but their
ability. You talked about the pass rushers,

49
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:51.439
you know, Byron Young, Kobe
Turner, obviously the year Pooka's had,

50
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.319
Like I'm looking at it going and
Sean McVay was, you know,

51
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.759
saying that you know, he's he'll
be back next year. Well, hell

52
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.879
yeah, he'll be back next year. He stills' that a first round pick

53
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:05.759
at his disposal. So the opportunity
to build with these young pieces and the

54
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:09.759
veterans are already there. Like,
if I'm Sean McVeigh, there's no question

55
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:15.280
I'm not talking about my future.
I'm not talking about retirement or taking a

56
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.919
TV gig. Like, I think
this instilled life, and he's gotten more

57
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:22.199
excited about the job just based on
what they've been able to do in finding

58
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.759
some of these gems later in the
draft. Yeah, absolutely, you know,

59
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.560
and I think one thing we should
remember too, right is that before

60
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:30.840
you know, they kind of had
this dip last year, this was kind

61
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:35.360
of like a destination franchise, right
where guys, you know, veterans with

62
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.960
like track records would take discounts to
come play here, you know, and

63
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:42.080
right you would take those guys,
and and right they would they would,

64
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.039
you know, add to a roster
you know, where they had kind of

65
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.960
some of these younger guys, and
so you kind of see this kind of

66
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.919
formula there, you know. Honestly, when when they kind of had that

67
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.039
five one season last year, I
was kind of looking at their situation thinking

68
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.439
okay, you know what, it's
going to take them a few years to

69
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.240
rebuild, you know, and maybe
San Francisco's to kind of dominate the division

70
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.759
for a while. But you know, with again, with all the money

71
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.280
that they're going to have coming up
the books this coming year, Uh,

72
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:09.199
you know, I expect him to
be like right there, you know,

73
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.719
next year. Right, So,
uh, yeah, absolutely, I think

74
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.919
you're right. You know, I'm
guessing that mcvey's probably learned some things about

75
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:18.040
himself too. You know. Obviously
he comes in as a thirty year old

76
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.319
coach. You know, he's the
genius this and that, and you know,

77
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:25.680
the right the Super Bowl against Parcels, and you know, I'm sure

78
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.040
there was a lot of self doubt
at that time. Uh you know,

79
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:30.360
in this year, right, We're
gonna be honest, he was kind of

80
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.959
playing with house money a bit.
But in kind of that process, I

81
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:39.040
think of maybe not having as much
pressure this year, he's been able to

82
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:41.160
kind of really figure out who he
is as a coach, and I think

83
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.879
that that's really going to serve him
well going forward. Uh when we look

84
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:54.879
at it, do you think the
Rams beat the Lions? Maybe, you

85
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:57.959
know, I like that matchup.
I like that matchup better obviously, you

86
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.959
know, than than I do the
Dallas matchup. Yeah, you know obviously

87
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.399
the fact that I mean, it's
going to be an interesting dynamic obviously,

88
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.319
right if if that is the game
where Stafford goes back to Detroit, a

89
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:12.600
place where he's still like really beloved, you know, I could see them

90
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.279
having a chance there, you know, a very real chance. And like

91
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.079
you said, Fred, I think
they're going to be regardless of kind of

92
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:18.839
what it is, I do think
they're going to be a tough out.

93
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:21.920
I mean, Dylan, you got
to realize you're dealing with a very negative

94
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:27.079
Detroit Lions fan and Fred Rogan who
just assumes the worst is going to happen.

95
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.879
Not only does Stafford go back to
Detroit and win that game, but

96
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.759
then like he takes off his jersey
and he's got like a tattoo of Pontiac

97
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:39.680
Silverdome on his back. Like that, Fred's just assuming the absolute worst from

98
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:43.000
that matchup in the postseason, which
I think it's I think it's one of

99
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:47.279
the better matchups just based on the
storylines. But you know, I don't

100
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.160
know that I that I trust the
Rams completely to go in there and get

101
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:55.279
it done. Yeah, you know, I mean it's an interesting storyline even

102
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.959
from the other side too, right
where Jared Goff and McVeigh and kind of

103
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.319
the history that they have, you
know, so I think, like both

104
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.519
quarterbacks, the spotlights really going to
be on them. I think it's a

105
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:09.319
really really fun matchup, you know. You know, obviously personally, I

106
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.279
get look, I get paid the
same with the Rams winner lose. I'm

107
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.079
just kind of pully for the storyline
here, and that by far the most

108
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:18.360
intriguing matchup, I think, even
from must Bay's standpoint, right, I

109
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.879
mean, he was the one that
made that, you know that basically you

110
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:26.120
know, shoved golf out the door, brought Stafford in, wins the super

111
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.680
Bowl. You know, now that
trade has arguably kind of strengthened Detroit and

112
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:31.920
they're kind of on the rise now. There's just so much going on there

113
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:36.360
that I think, you know,
it's by far the more entertaining matchup of

114
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:40.279
the two things. Do you think, like, now that we look at

115
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:45.839
that, do you think that they
did GoF dirty the way that was handled

116
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.079
because I've always felt that there was
kind of they probably Sean McVay, I

117
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.800
think he probably would admit that,
and I think he has in so many

118
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:56.920
words that they probably could have handled
that a little better. Yeah, probably

119
00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.519
right. I mean, you know, and what was the kid's name that

120
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.279
they brought in to the kid that
couldn't really throw, that could run a

121
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:10.000
bit, right, Yeah, just
the way that that kind of went down,

122
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:14.879
right, it's probably where you know, it just felt again, very

123
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:16.879
kind of sudden and abrupt, And
that's kind of what you don't want,

124
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:20.399
right whenever you talk to any kind
of coach, right, the ones that

125
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:24.439
have like a lot of respect around
the league, it's because they can kind

126
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:28.800
of communicate things right, and when
things kind of inevitably, you know,

127
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.920
obviously no player stays in a position
forever, and when everything's kind of break

128
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:35.000
up, you can always you know, again, when when the coach kind

129
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.360
of handles it right, you kind
of see it coming right, and the

130
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.199
guy kind of feels, okay,
you know what, I got every chance

131
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.519
to do this and I just didn't
didn't do it here it did feel very

132
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.720
like abrupt, And I agree with
you, this probably wasn't handled the best.

133
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:50.120
And you know, as much as
you know McVay and Goff now kind

134
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:54.839
of say nice things about each other. I think that there probably is,

135
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.920
you know, there's some remnants of
of that that's going to come into this

136
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.800
matchup if it does happen, which
to me is again one of the reasons

137
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.480
why I think it's like, really, really like an interesting matchup. Let

138
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.399
me flip over to the Dodgers.
We were talking about this earlier. I

139
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.639
believe this The Dodgers better have a
very good year next year, a very

140
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.040
very good year if they don't win
at all, but it's a great year,

141
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.360
meaning they're deep in the playoffs.
In my opinion, Dave Roberts is

142
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.240
good to go. There are those
that are suggesting if they don't win the

143
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.639
World Series, this guy's done.
I don't see that, do you,

144
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.679
Dylan. I mean, I'm not
sure that's necessarily like a fair thing,

145
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.440
you know, I mean I could
maybe that is what ends up happening,

146
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.840
just to somebody. You know,
a lot of times somebody has to take

147
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:45.000
a fall for things, you know, because as much money as they've spent

148
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.960
here, you know, I don't
think you know, in terms of the

149
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.000
pitching additions that they've made the two
big ones, right yam My Moto and

150
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.120
Glass Now to me, both of
those guys are big, you know,

151
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.039
obviously they're they're high ceiling guys,
but they're also very low floor guys.

152
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.639
You know. Yeah, I'm not
a big guy. Used to pitch it

153
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.480
once a week, has never pitched
in the major leagues before. I mean,

154
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.399
it's a different baseball, different workload. We're not really sure how that's

155
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.840
going to translate here, you know, And he was, you know again,

156
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:15.840
average fastball in Japan was ninety five
plus, but ninety five plus once

157
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:20.120
a week we've seen, you know, turns into sometimes ninety four to ninety

158
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.919
two to ninety four over here,
and so I'm not sure how that's gonna

159
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.000
go. You know. Glass Now, obviously, as you know, when

160
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:30.559
he's healthy, he's one of the
best pitches in baseball. But he's not

161
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:31.759
healthy a lot of times. You
know, he made twenty one star plus

162
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.440
year. That was a career high. So to me, you know,

163
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.480
obviously, if those guys are going
and they don't win, okay, I

164
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:41.600
could see that, you know.
Now, I do kind of wonder,

165
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:46.399
kind of getting through the whole season, will these be you know, guys,

166
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.960
you know, be upright, you
know, I think between those two

167
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.360
guys and Walker bueller, you probably
at any given time, me, two

168
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.519
of those guys at least, you
know, healthy, I assume, right,

169
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.000
And so to me, that's going
to be how do you handle that

170
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.360
pitching staff? I mean, to
me, there's a question even if you

171
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.200
even go to a six men rotation
here you know where I think again,

172
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.039
where you have those three guys,
you know, and then next year,

173
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.600
you know Ustin May doesn't make it
back next this coming season obviously, then

174
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:15.039
you'll be coming back next year,
and then you'll have also you know,

175
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.759
Otani coming back. If there is
a time to go to that six men

176
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.639
rotation, it might be. Now
that said, you do kind of wonder

177
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.399
then, right, We've always kind
of talked about the Dodgers and how they're

178
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.200
built for the regular season and not
so much the playoffs. So it's going

179
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.480
to six men, you know,
kind of screw up, right guys,

180
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.159
you know, the the field that
they have for their routines and stuff,

181
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.240
and how does that affect them going
into the playoffs? I mean, if

182
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:39.799
they go to six men rotation,
because that means all of a sudden,

183
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.559
these guys are just pitching once a
series, right, because you don't want

184
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.039
that obviously, So you know,
I think that there are things that some

185
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.679
decisions are gonna have to be made
here. But to me, a lot

186
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.200
of it, I guess depends on
how Yama, Moto and Glass now look,

187
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.200
because you know, again, if
they're healthy. I do think that

188
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.440
this is going to look somewhat similar
to the way it did last year,

189
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.559
where dominant regular season, you get
to the playoffs, Okay, the pitching

190
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.519
staffs all messed up again, and
okay, how are you going to win?

191
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.080
So Fred's got a World Series or
bust mentality. In fact, he

192
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.480
said earlier in the show that if
the Dodgers don't win the World Series this

193
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.039
year, he wants them to move
back to Brooklyn, which I thought,

194
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.759
of course I said that, which
I thought was insulting and really reckless to

195
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.519
stay here on the air. But
that being said, if we're talking about

196
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.799
them being a regular season team,
they won one hundred eleven games a couple

197
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.320
of years ago. If I were
to set the over under on win total

198
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.200
at one ten and a half,
you're taking the over the underdoing I mean,

199
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.639
I think you just have to take
the under just just how I mean,

200
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:41.440
it doesn't matter how good a team
is, right, I mean,

201
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.799
at some point, you know,
they go through bad streaks and there only

202
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.480
I mean, how many teams in
history have won one hundred and ten games.

203
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.120
I mean, it doesn't happen every
year. I mean, they could

204
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.480
certainly do it, you know,
I'm not sure they necessarily, do,

205
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:54.879
you know. I think still,
you know, like one of the better

206
00:11:54.879 --> 00:12:00.320
teams I think we've seen here was
right the twenty thirteen Dodgers with Adrianka and

207
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.399
Heley Ramirez, and right, didn't
they win? They won like thirty nine

208
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:05.639
out of fifty games, I think
at some point something, and you're right,

209
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.399
yeah, they didn't get to like
one hundred and ten. So I

210
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:11.840
guess I would just just from the
probability standpoint, I would take the under.

211
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:15.960
I do think that this is going
to be like a very I mean,

212
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.320
I thought their offense last year I
disappeared in the playoffs, but it

213
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.000
was a pretty special offense. And
now you're just you know, you just

214
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.879
added the best offensive player in the
game. So offensively, I think they're

215
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.519
going to you know, and then
now you're going to presumably have a healthy

216
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.360
Will Smith. Uh. So I
think offensively they're going to be tremendous,

217
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:33.960
right, uh, And to me
again, the question is going to be

218
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.559
about the pitching. You know,
can those right Yamamoto, Glass, now

219
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.159
Buehler, do those guys hold up? And you know kind of what happens

220
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:43.879
with the bullpen every year, that's
as kind of a mix and match thing.

221
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.799
They usually kind of figure it out, you know, by the time

222
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:48.399
they kind of get to the postseason
as far as like the bullpen goes.

223
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.639
But to me, again, the
rotation health is the big, big question

224
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.480
mark going into the year. All
right, Dylan, one quick one on

225
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:00.440
the Lakers if we can. Jovon
Bouja was on and uh he had report

226
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.720
that there seems to be some dissension
in the Laker locker room. Do you

227
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.759
see things from your perspective crumbling a
bit and do you think Darvin Ham may

228
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:15.559
be in trouble? Yeah, because
you know you talk about kind of championship

229
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.360
or bust or at least putting in
a good show or bust. It's the

230
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.799
Lakers, right, and that that
is an organization where you know, fair

231
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.519
or not. I think because of
the Tolle kind of that was set during

232
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:31.120
the Kobe Shack era, there is
legitimate accountability there, right, And then

233
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.279
you know somebody will take the ball
if things don't go right there, you

234
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.200
know, I think to me,
the bigger question is like what do they

235
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.840
do kind of at the trade deadline? Right? I mean I think you

236
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.440
know, when d'anngela Russell was resigned, I mean, that looked like a

237
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.919
deal that was done with Okay,
you know, this is a guy that's

238
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:48.840
going to get moved at the trade
deadline, you know. And I do

239
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.039
think, right, you know,
even in that locker room right now,

240
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.279
probably some of the you know,
dispension that you kind of have is kind

241
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:58.840
of centered around that a little bit
in terms of, you know, you

242
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.600
have a guy that kind of plays
that in his own pace, right He's

243
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.919
kind of like a James Harden type
of you know, except you know,

244
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.360
you know, a score like James
Harden. But like, you know,

245
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.799
you kind of wound up playing around
that guy a lot because just because he's

246
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:13.639
got like his own rhythm and stuff. So my guess is that they're going

247
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.080
to kind of make a move there. It's going to kind of you know,

248
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.840
I mean, look, the bright
side is is that Pelinka Rob Poinker

249
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.000
had a lot more to do at
the trade deadline last year and actually kind

250
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.440
of pulled everything off here. You
know, I think if you kind of

251
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:28.639
they're going to have to obviously get
some shooting. But you know, I

252
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.240
think it's all going to kind of
depend on what they can get, you

253
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:37.600
know, for the Agila russ on
the trade market. All right, Dylan,

254
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.240
appreciate you coming on, love the
information as always. Uh, we'll

255
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:43.799
talk to you soon. Okay,
thanks so much t having me on.

256
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.480
All right, there he goes our
good friend, Dylan Hernandez of the Times.

257
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:50.360
Don't forget we are going to give
away those Clippers Suns tickets and we're

258
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:54.399
giving them away before we get off
there. What I just like, how

259
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.919
the hell is Darvin Ham on the
hot seat? I just look what's happening

260
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:01.039
here? Who would want to be
a head coach? Now? I swear

261
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.600
to God, I don't get it
either. I really don't get it.

262
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.879
But you know you you heard jo
Van, and we'll see what happens come

263
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.679
Monday morning. Do have those tickets? We're giving them away soon, so

264
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:16.080
get ready to win. And while
we come back spirituality with vic Cam.

265
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:22.639
I want to tell people what those
tickets are for it their Clippers Son sweet

266
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:28.000
tickets, Fred, That's what they
are. Yes, they are all right.

267
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:33.720
Jonas knocks in today for Rodney five
seventy la sports. Got a lot

268
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:39.399
going on, Got a lot going
on, Jonas not going on? You

269
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.600

don't. Okay, just getting it done,

270
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.720
you know what. Yeah, I'm
doing the people's work. Get her

271
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.120
done, Fred, That's how I'm
operating. That's how I roll. Yeah,

272
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.840
all right, but we need spirituality
God after that we do so for

273
00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:58.039
spirituality. There is one man we
welcome on. It is Victor Brick,

274
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:04.799
who will no doubt have Yamamoto Son
news. He'll probably also talk about d

275
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:12.679
Ham and provide a high coup.
Vic Good afternoon. He's giving away Clipper

276
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:19.519
Sweet tickets. He's the quiz master. Are Slim Shady doctor Detroit, Fred

277
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:32.840
Rogan hello, vic in for Rodney. He will not be watching the Golden

278
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:40.000
Bachelor wedding Tonight's Jonas Knox. Happy
New Year, puppy, Felie. I

279
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:41.159
gotta tell you what, I think
a lot of people will be watching that

280
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:48.840
tonight. Yeah. It's a cult
guys like seventy two or something. Looks

281
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:56.080
Yeah, people that saw it really
liked it. I'm rivet at Fred.

282
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.240
You go, my beloved bride.
You go suck them onto myself. That

283
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:04.400
is I must see TV. And
I'm not a big bachelor guy, you

284
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:11.720
know from the many years. But
the Golden Bachelor had a very unique,

285
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:21.960
you know plot line, let's face
it, looking for love now Vic vic

286
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:26.279
on there what are they called overnight
dates or whatever they're called, you know,

287
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:29.039
where they spend the night together right
near the end of the show one

288
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:32.119
night stands, I think is the
termula? Is that what they call it

289
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:37.119
on the shows? Okay, uh, did they have sex? Yes,

290
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:41.079
Jesus, I believe so. I
don't know. I'm not in the room

291
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:48.400
fresh, but obviously it appeared so
you know, via the TV screen,

292
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.599
via the circumstances when of course when
they shut the door there's no cameras.

293
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:56.079
Do they do those on back to
back nights? Because if that's true,

294
00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:59.920
he's seventy two. I mean,
if that was the case, probably best

295
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:04.839
to have the first date with him, don't you think. Yeah, well,

296
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:11.759
the Golden Bachelor is in sensational shape. Yeah, he looks good and

297
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:18.359
America has fallen in love with this
concept, and you know, doing the

298
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:23.200
wedding live is brilliant. And then
they're off to Italy. I believe for

299
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:32.400
their honeymoon, Gary and Teresa.
I believe it is the Golden couple,

300
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:34.599
you know, just because the guy's
seventy years old and I don't know how

301
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:37.480
old his wife is, but I'm
probably I'm sure she's in a ballpark.

302
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:44.319
That doesn't mean they shouldn't have love
and happiness exactly, Fred. And that's

303
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:48.319
why America really is attracted to this
show. I mean, right, you

304
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.440
know, maybe they should next do
Love Island for seniors. Ah, good

305
00:18:52.440 --> 00:19:02.559
call, very nice they did.
I think it was called Cocoon. Well,

306
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:07.359
obviously there'll be a Golden Bachelorette show. I believe that's so it's the

307
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:12.799
woman that didn't get picked as the
bachelorette for the next one that will be

308
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:17.720
that that will be the right call
for it. I mean, you know,

309
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:22.000
when you think about it, it's
kind of cruel. Here we are,

310
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:25.599
and you know, he dates everybody, or he talks to him,

311
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:30.160
he gets to know him. You
get down to the final two, and

312
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:33.880
you know, if you're in the
final two, and I don't know if

313
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.039
he's made his mind up before that
or not. Maybe he has, but

314
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.960
you got to pick two. You
know, you're you're indicating to each one

315
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:48.400
of them that they're the person,
and when they walk out of there,

316
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:55.119
I'm sure that's exactly what they believe. And then you know, they come

317
00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:59.000
one by one and the first one
always is not the one, and she

318
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:02.000
shows up and he and they don't
know what order they're in, and he

319
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:06.480
looks at her and he goes,
it's not you. I think that,

320
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:10.160
I honestly think that is just so
cruel to do to something. It's devastating.

321
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:15.359
I'm the Fred loves a four letter
word, you know. I've heard

322
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.319
that it gets rough out there and
sometimes you got to learn hard lessons in

323
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:23.079
life, and sometimes you got to
learn those lessons on television. At seventy

324
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:29.599
years old. Hey, at least
you're still in the game. I think

325
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:32.799
you've learned that lesson. It's a
show of hope, Fred, Hope,

326
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:38.519
hope. No. I thought it
was great, but no, it's gotten

327
00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:49.119
massive baffo ratings. Yeah, and
I'm sure they'll do another one. Well.

328
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:53.880
He is truly golden. He is
a precious metal beyond platinum that Kevin

329
00:20:53.920 --> 00:21:03.319
figures. Y'all are you calling me
old vic a precious middle I'll take it

330
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:11.480
shot, come on now, yeah, yeah, and go finger and some

331
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:15.279
slogan, by the way, for
the go for the Golden Bachelor was a

332
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.319
watch them find love while they still
can. I was like, I feel

333
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.960
like, that's not necessary. It's
an awful promo. That's not what the

334
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:26.160
promo was. No, No,
it was not. Oh I did see

335
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:29.960
that though. On the early days. People have these stupid memes that pop

336
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:34.079
up on social media. Watch them
find love dot dot dot while they still

337
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:42.759
can. Well, the man with
All minus touch Ronnie Fascio, he's a

338
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:52.680
Golden Hiku master King Flavor. Yeah, listen, this is a big week

339
00:21:52.720 --> 00:22:03.640
for the Dodgers. Let me explain
show Tama Naga. You guys know Imanaga,

340
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:10.039
thirty year old Japanese lefty starter from
the Yokohama based Stars. He's up

341
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:18.359
for grabs. One week deadline for
the posting and to sign him. He's

342
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:26.759
everyone's got one week to sign Imanaga
in the mix. The hated ones,

343
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:34.000
the Cubs, Red Sox are very
hot for Imanaga. Price tag about one

344
00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:42.000
hundred million dollars. Dodgers, you
know they're working it. Nice bittle of

345
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:45.799
the rotation guy. First of all, you didn't even mention they were in

346
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:52.480
the hunt. Oh they're in it. Oh, but low key, low

347
00:22:52.519 --> 00:23:00.680
key Fred, What does low key
mean? That's the top tier right now

348
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:11.119
of teams seemingly very interested in Imanaga. I mean at this point, why

349
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:15.400
not? I mean, but there's
only a week left. Because January eleventh,

350
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:26.039
teams must sign him or I believe
he goes back to Yokohama because because

351
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:30.400
he wants to, or because he
didn't sign a deal here because he didn't

352
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:33.920
sign a deal here. Well,
somebody will sign him then, I believe

353
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:37.880
so. But it's only one week. It's not like that. You know,

354
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:40.640
you have to you know, spring
training, YadA, YadA, YadA.

355
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:45.720
Someone's going to make a move for
Imanaga. And Little is not as

356
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:55.279
talented as Yoshinobu. But you know, at number three in the rotation,

357
00:23:55.359 --> 00:24:00.319
and let's face it, Dodgers will
need one more starter. I mean,

358
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:10.160
that's a void. We know that
with injuries Inevitablega as a three in the

359
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:12.160
in the Dodger rotation, I'd feel
a lot better. I could take a

360
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:18.799
deep breath. How good is he? Well, he finished the World Baseball

361
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:23.880
Classic of victory for Japan. He
got to win. He is he is

362
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:33.279
again the yacht not a top tier
starter, but a number three starter,

363
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:37.839
in your rotation. So what is
he a Tyler Anderson? Is he a

364
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:44.640
crafty lefty? Ah? Okay,
love me a crafty lefty. Right,

365
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.079
I'm hooking up Emanaga if I can
one hundred million dollars. Now I'm looking

366
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.880
at the most recent reporting from Ken
Rosenthal the VIC and I do not see

367
00:24:52.920 --> 00:25:00.559
the Dodgers link Tomanaga at all.
Is zad Well Baltimore Red Sox and Giants?

368
00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:06.039
Yeah, I mean, look,
then they might be well, he

369
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:08.039
can't go to the Giants because Scott
Boris says nobody wants to go to the

370
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:11.319
Giants because they don't want to get
beat by the Dodgers. Well, Jonas

371
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:15.519
min she does want to get his
pizza stolen. And some guy but you

372
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:18.920
said, somebody busted into Wiss was
having lunch and they stole lunch from him.

373
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:21.880
Like guy trying to have a slice
of pizza doing a radio interview with

374
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:23.799
Petro some money, and next thing
you know, some guy rips the tip

375
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:26.160
jar off the counter and walks out. It was the tip jar. I

376
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:29.839
thought they knock Vassie out and took
the pizza from him. No, I

377
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:33.839
mean we could go with that though. I mean, just like Darlene Neft

378
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:41.480
stealing my lunch money. Now I
gonna elaborate on that there, h Fred,

379
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:45.559
But I don't think there's anything else
to say. Darling Neff stole my

380
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:47.720
lunch money, And that was all
I wanted to say. When you talk

381
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:51.480
about stealing the tip jar or anything
like that, Now, are you afraid

382
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:53.480
because Darlene might be listening and she
might come steal? Uh, steal the

383
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:59.599
rest of your money? Is that
what it is? Kevin? I was

384
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:06.759
like in grade and I was going
to school and my lunch money, I

385
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:08.359
don't know why, you know,
so I could get my little carton of

386
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:14.720
milk and you know porridge that you
got in public school. Now was this

387
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:22.200
the nineteen thirties? Fred? What
was it? Like? A half piece

388
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:25.839
of wonderbread and malta meal to give
you castor oil? After two friends?

389
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:32.559
My Fred, and it was on
my little desk and darlinge Nev grabbed it

390
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:36.759
and ran outside and sat on it
and said I would have to kiss her

391
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:40.559
to get back my lunch money.
And I didn't eat for a week.

392
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:45.640
Geez, she was that bad?
Uh? No, she wasn't bad.

393
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:49.559
But then she told the story of
how one time a snow bug flew into

394
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:52.079
her eye and she couldn't see for
a week. And I can't deal with

395
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:56.640
that. I've never heard of a
snowbug, right, you know, I

396
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.839
knew that there was something wrong.
First, she's talking about snowbugs and she's

397
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:04.319
stealing money and I you know,
boy, Fred, you should have got

398
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:07.880
bullied by everybody back in the day, Dad, I did, even Darling

399
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.400
Knapp. That explains it. That
explains why you are the way you are.

400
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:14.720
You bully everybody else because you were
bullied as a kid. I've never

401
00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:23.599
bullied anybody in my life. Running
something big to differ, Fred Well sent

402
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:27.279
on my way. Apparently a snow
bug also known as a snow flea,

403
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:33.160
although technically it's not a flea actual, but it is an actual bug.

404
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:37.160
Yes, let me look this up. I shouldn't lie then, maybe I

405
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:40.319
should have reconsidered. I would have
eaten once you hit her up now and

406
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:41.960
be like, hey, what are
you doing? You want to go on

407
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.480
the next Golden Bachelor in your Yeah, oh I got something, Yeah,

408
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:49.680
let me help you with that.
But this thing is weird looking. It's

409
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:56.960
basically like a like a mosquito with
like a like cotton on the back like

410
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:00.000
fur or something. Yeah, well
it's a snow it's gotta stay warm.

411
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:08.279
Well, that'll do the trick some
zero temperatures, right, Can I get

412
00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:14.559
a cotton swab in my back place? Fellas? Are you like me?

413
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:17.599
Are you like me? No?
We're not. We're not like you.

414
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:22.599
What's missing in this Laker lineup?
In this recent funk? You know what?

415
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:30.279
They really need? A himI Hocks
Junior? Yeah? Was he?

416
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:36.279
Since? Hey, I what sensationally
fluid? Are you? As publicist?

417
00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:40.720
But understanding the flow of the game
last night? Was it was Hockkids Junior?

418
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:45.119
I mean I was comparing him to
the Lakers number seventeen pick. Who

419
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:48.400
remember they snubbed himI? Howkas Junior? The draft last year for us?

420
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:52.640
Your fino? So I'm watching your
fino, you know, pretty closely,

421
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:59.839
and he's just not ready. Meanwhile, you know this, you know himI

422
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.319
perfectly in the flow of a Miami
team, you know missing. You know,

423
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.880
Jimmy Butler the best player and he's
going off for sixteen and eight and

424
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:15.480
you know Chapillo can't even hit the
rim and I'm going, wow, what

425
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:21.640
what was everyone thinking? You're watching? For four years? I mean,

426
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:23.680
Polink has done a fabulous job.
Remember last year, Polinka, you know,

427
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:27.839
put the squad together and they made
this second half run into the Western

428
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:30.880
Finals. So you know, Polinka's
got the tools, he's got the skill

429
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:36.480
set. But obviously everyone blew it
with Heimi Hawkins Junior. You know,

430
00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:40.559
I'm still screaming into the night why
they didn't take Heimi Hawkins Junior. Well,

431
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:41.480
I don't know if you need to
scream into the night. Vic.

432
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:52.400
It was so obvious, I guess
just to me. But again there was

433
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:56.960
a and I love d ham Man. D ham is not your problem,

434
00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:00.720
it is, is all right,
Vic. We'll talk more about that.

435
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:03.599
Who wants to see the Clippers and
Sons? Eight six, six, nine

447
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:52.599
maybe for you, but I'll tell
you something. The Clippers Sons trump's

448
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.880
the national championship game at college football. I agree, I agree, just

449
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:02.559
saying I'm going multitask. Well,
I'm just saying this, Jonas Clipper Sons

450
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:06.319
Monday, to sit in the suite
at the Crypt. There's no bigger event,

451
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:10.400
and it's only like five days into
twenty twenty four. Yeah, I

452
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:14.039
would recommend getting there early and seeing
if you can catch Adam Austlin if he's

453
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:17.960
doing pregame, you know, go
down and maybe harass him, try and

454
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:19.759
piss him off. See if he
roughs you up before the game. Don't

455
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:22.720
get too close to him. I'm
not gonna recommend that. You don't want

456
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:26.000
to get too close to him.
You know how he gets, you know

457
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:29.920
how he gets when he works.
Are you saying he's the guy that punched

458
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:36.160
Clipper Darryl. No, I'm not
okay, I'm also not saying he didn't

459
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:45.559
want to be that guy. Oh
exactly all right? Uh Vic Well,

460
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:51.680
congratulations to Warren and Montebello. Clippers
have won thirteen or fifteen. Hottest team

461
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:56.359
in the association. I mean PG
at thirty three last night in the desert,

462
00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:00.960
Kawhi at thirty Beard at twenty two
and eleven. They're balling, man,

463
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:09.720
the Clips are balling for t Lou. Bronnie James had a better night

464
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:15.400
than his dad last night. How
about Bronnie looking good for sc want to

465
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:19.160
give him some love? His second
straight double double figure game, had ten

466
00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:28.839
an electric alley oop in the victory
over Cow, So really cavelling for Bronnie

467
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:36.400
James is great comeback. Two consecutive
double digit games of Bronnie James. UCLA,

468
00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:39.880
don't ask Elsa Stanford. Yeah,
they can use how many hockey as

469
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:44.200
right now? They're victor who you're
telling me the team they can't score?

470
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:50.079
Geez, and Mike Cronham went after
him again. That's that's a tough loss,

471
00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:52.400
man. Mick's got a lot of
work to do. A lot of

472
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:58.279
young guys a lot of young guys
on the Bruins. You know who's listening

473
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:05.319
to our show, Sean mcvagh because
didn't we yesterday make it a salient point

474
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:10.480
play nobody? And then suddenly in
the afternoon, late afternoon McVeigh is resting

475
00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:15.480
everybody except from the cool Yes,
no, I think he listens every day,

476
00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:20.160
big and I'm sure listening to our
show and us suggesting that as well

477
00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:22.480
really put it over the top and
made him make that final decision. You

478
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:25.640
know, it was really on the
fence the man. I heard Fred and

479
00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:29.240
Rodden yesterday and you know what,
they really changed my mind and turned the

480
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:30.720
corner on this. I had to
sit those guys. Plus, it's the

481
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:35.240
Niners, not like they can beat
them anyways, so you know, well,

482
00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:39.000
why you have to do that?
I beat because they've beaten him in

483
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:43.920
the regular season once since like the
nineteen seventies, Like what do you mean,

484
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:45.720
Fred, like they can't beat San
Francisco. They beat him in the

485
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:51.440
playoff game. But other than that
regular seasoning, it's the Niners to doomsday

486
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:57.640
scenario and listen, you know me, there's no bigger Puokah and the cool

487
00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:04.079
guy than myself. I understand he's
close to rookie records for receiving yards for

488
00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:10.880
receptions, but why anger the football
gods and play him until he gets those

489
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:15.599
records on Sunday? You know,
up up in the Niners in the home

490
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:22.440
home field, those guys are going
to hit Pook in the coop on Sunday

491
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:27.519
and he's twenty nine yards him,
got a reception or two? And sit

492
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:34.000
right, Fred. It only takes
a moment. Only takes a moment.

493
00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:37.159
Man on one shot, where's my
pen? I want to write that down.

494
00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:42.239
I gotta make a note of that. I'm gonna write an ink please,

495
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:45.199
I mean, Vic, You do
know remember what happened to Mike Williams

496
00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:50.079
last year when the Chargers played Denver
and had nothing to play for and Brandon

497
00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:52.760
Staley played his starters, granted he
played them all the way into the second

498
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:55.840
half. Williams got hurt, wasn't
available in that playoff game and they lost

499
00:34:55.840 --> 00:35:02.719
to Jacksonville Salien point k fig Suah. If I have if I have my

500
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:09.239
if I have my fifty three Warriors, I am not playing my my starters

501
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:13.519
in this game on Sunday. Look
out of the league. No, Noah's

502
00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:16.760
playing I mean who's playing on Sunday. If you if you've already clinched the

503
00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:21.559
playoff birth, it's insane to even
put these guys in the field. Are

504
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:24.559
you referring to the nineteen fifty three
San Francisco Warriors when you said fifty three

505
00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:31.280
Warriors? Warriors in the in the
context of the playing professional football for it

506
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:39.239
wherever every moment, every moment is
poignant and possible career ending. All it

507
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:42.840
takes is one shot for it.
That's why I'm a you know, I'm

508
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:46.119
a I love poking the core.
I know. So he needs twenty nine

509
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:51.239
yards you think first play the game, he just runs a go So just

510
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:52.880
run. If you run, maybe
a couple down and outs on the sidelines.

511
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:59.280
That that's the only way if you
you can't guarantee I'm not getting hit

512
00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:00.880
though, man see. But it
is a good omen though. He's a

513
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:05.800
ram trying to go for a record
and he's at twenty nine you know.

514
00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:10.719
Eric Dickerson, Yeah, I feel
like there's a uh some good juju there.

515
00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:15.320
I like it. I like their
giving him a shot at it.

516
00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:21.800
Well, congratulations nicooa, you know, for being named to the Pro Bowl

517
00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:28.719
Team. Matthew Stafford Karen Williams All
Pro Love and Aaron Donald ten straight tastes

518
00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:32.280
of All Pro Love. Aaron Donald, how's that All Pro Love? Taste?

519
00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:37.480
Vic taste good? Khalil mack Penan
Allen for the Chargers, want to

520
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:43.239
give them proper respect, especially for
the balls. You know a season a

521
00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:50.000
season from you know from the Abyss. But Mac I think had sixteen sacks.

522
00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:57.639
Allen was tremendous as always. But
again you got the chilliest starters on

523
00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:01.199
some even Nicole Man. Maybe a
couple down and outs, okay, just

524
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:06.960
to the sideline, keep him out
of harm's way. I don't know how

525
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:09.960
you do it. I mean mcvay's
no offensive juggernaut. He can come up

526
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:13.079
with ways where he doesn't get hit. By the way, he can still

527
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:15.400
get the twenty nine yards Colomb mack
over the one hundred career sack mark.

528
00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:23.000
Maybe they shouldn't play him. Now, what's he got to play for fan

529
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:27.519
appreciation day? Fred? You gotta
play right there you go. Everybody's got

530
00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:30.599
in the car. Everybody's not getting
it. Yeah, Dean Spaniels is gonna

531
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:37.360
buy everybody in a car. That
sounds about right. It's not gonna buy

532
00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:40.840
a car it's gonna be for Jim
Harbaugh Man. You know that geo well,

533
00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:45.159
Vic, you know where that leads
is due the source Fred, Yes,

534
00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:52.679
the source, Yes, the high
coup for you. On this Thursday,

535
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:59.239
January fourth of twenty twenty four,
I'm going with Kobayashi. Issa going

536
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:06.519
here. So one of the top
tier haiku poets, Issa Isa. He

537
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:09.960
left home at the age of fourteen
to study haiku and eddo, which is

538
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:16.079
the old name for tokyo Issa means
a cup of tea. Well, let's

539
00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:19.760
find out the man left when he
was fourteen, he was a child,

540
00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:22.519
grew into a man, and became
one of the great haiku masters. So

541
00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:27.639
let's see what all of that,
all of those years of commitment and dedication

542
00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:34.599
and studying brings us. Let's find
out if a man left his home at

543
00:38:34.599 --> 00:38:38.679
the age of fourteen learned anything that
would inspire all of us today. This

544
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:42.280
ought to be a good one.
He was doing it a long time.

545
00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:45.360
He probably put a lot of thought
in every one of them. Big So

546
00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:53.039
let's hear it. This is from
Issassa. Yes, first name, Kobayashi.

547
00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:59.079
It has not changed since you last
said. It goes something like this,

548
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:08.679
even with insects, some can sing, some can't feeling you, simply

549
00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:14.760
yet profound from missa. So he
left his home when he was fourteen,

550
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:22.360
committed himself to this for his entire
life. And he came up with some

551
00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:30.639
insects can sing and some can't feeling
you. There was avery, some potico

552
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:34.320
to small insects, red mosquitoes,
bats, cats, Yeah, all right,

553
00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:37.800
snow please, yeah, all right, snow please. Where's darling nef

554
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:43.079
Ronnie? Thank you, that's where
she is. Now stay away, look

555
00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:46.480
over your shoulder. Don't take my
lunch money behind you. Kevin, thank

556
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:50.639
you, Jonah, thanks for hanging
today. Thanks Fred, It's always fine,

557
00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:52.000
Love you guys. All right,
Petro's some money next
