Now, let's bring on Jack Harris
at the Times and the last time Jack

16
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.439
was on Jonas, I pointed out
that I was pretty upset with him because

17
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.359
he had not come on enough.
And he's really good, and we want

18
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:07.719
him on the show. So now
he has consented to come back on,

19
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:12.000
and Jack, thank you for doing
that today. My great pleasure. But

20
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:21.040
all right, Jack, I want
to start with this. David Massey's cooking

21
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.640
around the name Nico Horner of the
Cubs. Are you hearing anything? What's

22
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:32.040
going on with this trade deadline coming
up? I think there's two big dynamics

23
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.719
to look at for the deadline,
which is, one, can the Dodgers

24
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:41.799
get an impact picture. I think
that's the thing that is probably most pressingly

25
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.920
needed for this roster when you look
at the injury concerns they have on the

26
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.799
pitching staff, when you look at
the fact that you know they've too often

27
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.280
in the past couple of postseasons and
I've had enough of those frontline pitchers when

28
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.719
they've gotten into the playoffs, and
I think if there's anything they could add

29
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.599
in a perfect world, that would
be it. The problem there is that

30
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.439
this is not a great market for
impact pitchers. You know, Trek Scoubel

31
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:07.360
of the Tigers probably is not going
to get traded. Garrett Crochet of the

32
00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:10.840
White Sox could get traded, and
if somebody the Dodgers have a lot of

33
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:15.080
interest in. But He's also a
guy that two years removed from a Tommy

34
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:21.479
john Is already has almost doubled his
previous career high for innings and might not

35
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.560
be able to make regular starts for
the rest of the season or make regular

36
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:29.199
starts in the postseason. So he
doesn't quite fit that need. And then

37
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:34.319
beyond them, there's not like a
clear, you know, Ace caliber kind

38
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.759
of pitcher. There's guys like Jack
Clarity, you say, Kukuchi, maybe

39
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:43.680
Nathan Avaldi if the Texas Rangers decide
to sell in the next week. But

40
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.159
it's an imperfect market for what the
Dodgers need on the pitching staff. And

41
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:51.159
while I'm sure they're going to add
somebody, I don't know if it's going

42
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.039
to be somebody that you look at
as a real, you know, number

43
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:57.599
one or number two guy to be
starting playoff games. Because of that,

44
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.159
I think it makes the need to
try to reinforce the lineup and bolster some

45
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:05.759
of the positions at the bottom in
the lineup all the more important. You

46
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:07.759
can try to do that in big
ways. You know, Luis Robert Junior

47
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.919
is out there. That's the guy
the Dodgers that have interest in. Randy

48
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.280
Rose Arena could be moved from the
Tampa Bay Rays. It's another guy the

49
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.599
Dodgers have discussed. Or you could
look at more piecemeal moves. You know,

50
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.960
Miko Horner is you know the Cubs, it's a little unclear what direction

51
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:27.280
they're going to go. A guy
like that could get moved. You could

52
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:31.919
look at somebody like maybe a Tommy
fam or a Jesse Winker, or you

53
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.199
know, there's going to be a
lot of different Mark Hanna, a lot

54
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:39.520
of different, more affordable options out
there that can help round out the lineup,

55
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.400
give you a few more reliable bats
at the bottom of the order,

56
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.759
and ensure that even if the pitching
isn't an imperfect place going into October,

57
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:52.280
the lineup won't be as susceptible to
some of the offensive drop offs they've had

58
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.960
when in their early eliminations the past
few octobers. So in order to acquire

59
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.319
you know, some of these players
are either the higher profile players or some

60
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.240
of the other pieces, who would
they be willing who would the Dodgers be

61
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:09.360
willing to part with in order to
make that happen. You know, that's

62
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:15.719
the other part of this right now, The Dodgers pitching depth in terms of

63
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.199
prospects is not as rich as it
usually is because they have so many young

64
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:23.480
guys that are hurt, and then
so many other young guys, like you

65
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:25.959
look at their location right now,
that are relying on a lot of young

66
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.319
pitchers, and you probably don't want
to give those guys up unless you're bringing

67
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:33.079
in a direct replacement on the pitching
staff of a more veteran, established kind

68
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:38.560
of guy. On the of the
position player group that the Dodgers have in

69
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:43.279
the miners, they have two really
highly coveted players. Jose de Paula,

70
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.839
who is a single a outfielder that
you know, a couple of scouts who

71
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.000
have seen him have compared him to, you know, kind of a yorn

72
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:53.920
On Alvarez type of really big bat
who could be a really be an impact

73
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.199
hitter in the majors in the future. And then there's dault In rushing their

74
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.959
first round draft pick from a couple
of years ago, a Louisville who has

75
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.120
a big bat is as much closer
to getting to the big leagues, probably

76
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:09.279
as soon as next year, and
might be you know, has a really

77
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.920
at least high flour in terms of
this is a guy A lot of people

78
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:14.519
around the game think is going to
be a good big league hitter. I

79
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.160
think Rushing is the interesting name because
when you look at the way that the

80
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:21.240
Dodgers' roster is set up in the
long term, they have Will Smith locked

81
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.759
up behind home plate, they have
Freddie Freeman locked up at first base.

82
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:30.480
They have shohe Otani at DH somebody
liked and Rushing there's not really a clear

83
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.240
path that, even if he does
continue to develop as he has and becomes

84
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:38.079
an impact bat, there's not a
clear path into where he fits onto the

85
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.959
roster. So for a team like
the Dodgers, it comes down to,

86
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.160
Okay, do we think that right
now is the best time to move him

87
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.720
his value is pretty high at the
moment, or do you try to hold

88
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.959
onto him and wait to get a
little further down the road and hope maybe

89
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.439
a better trade opportunity comes up where
you could deal him. The risk with

90
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.759
that is that you run into a
situation like they have with Diego Kartaya,

91
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.560
Who's a guy a lot of Dodger
fans who have followed the farm system,

92
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:03.040
we'll remember he was one of the
top prospects in baseball a couple of years

93
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.199
ago, but his development has slowed
down, he hasn't hit as well the

94
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.879
higher he's gone up on the minor
league ladder, he has some back injuries,

95
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.759
and suddenly he's not as pantalizing a
prospect for other teams right now.

96
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.120
Like, that's somebody that I think
the Dodgers are going to be open to

97
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.680
movie, But he's not going to
get them as much as he might have

98
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.680
a couple of years ago when his
value was higher. So that's the delicate

99
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.639
game that the front office is going
to have to play when they look at

100
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:31.480
an imperfect trade market, when they
look at the handful of high end prospects

101
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:34.000
that they do have, and have
to decide, Okay, are we going

102
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:38.560
to be able to make moves at
this deadline that really improve our chances to

103
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.759
win a World Series this year?
Or are we better making smaller moves and

104
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.759
holding on to some of our other
guys and hopes that we can either bring

105
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.439
them along and incorporate them into the
big league roster at some point or flip

106
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:51.319
them for maybe an even better player
and a trade further down the line this

107
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:56.160
winner or beyond. Yeah, But
did Andrew Freeman say we're taking a big

108
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:58.959
swing. We're not playing on the
margins, we're going to trade for an

109
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:03.439
impact player. Well, you know
that's what he says, right. I

110
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.879
think obviously every year, you know, this is the refrain from the team.

111
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:10.759
If they're always going to look at
big players. They're never going to

112
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.959
shut themselves off from going after you
know, the top available names on a

113
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.639
trade market, because they're the Dodgers, because they have the money to make

114
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.240
almost any deal happen, and because
they do have the prospects, like their

115
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:27.040
prospect pool compared to most other teams
around baseball like, they'll be able to

116
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:31.519
get almost any deal they want to
done if they're willing to move you know,

117
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:36.639
their best minor league players. So
they're definitely going to look at those

118
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:41.399
options. I think they definitely feel
the need to try to do something bigger,

119
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:46.399
to try to add a little bit
more either depth and reliability to the

120
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.839
lineup, or some more star power
and firepower to the starting rotation, or

121
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:53.920
maybe shore up the bullpen a little
bit, especially with how Evan Phillips has

122
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.120
struggled the last couple of weeks.
So they're going to look at impact moves.

123
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.199
But there's not a lot of years
where the Dodgers going to be an

124
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.720
impact move, could have made a
bigger splash, and then looked at the

125
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.000
trade market, you know. I
think of like the Wan Soto year when

126
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.360
they could have gone in on him
and decided, you know what, we're

127
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.000
okay, we're not going to make
a big move there, and then they

128
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:15.199
get bounced in the first round.
So they've done it both ways in the

129
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.560
past. They're always looking to be
aggressive, but they also have a pretty

130
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.319
high bar for what they consider fair
value and for when they're willing to move

131
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.839
with the kind of prospects that they
feel are you know, of a different

132
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.759
caliber. Right, there's there's a
they look at it as like opportunity costs,

133
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.080
and they don't want to sell low
on one of their top players because

134
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.480
they feel rushed or panicked by the
deadline and by the need to try to

135
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.360
make a short term ad when maybe, in their view, preserving some of

136
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.600
their long term value and options are
better. That's always kind of the tricky

137
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.679
dance that this team has to navigate
and one that I think for fans always

138
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.440
can become a little frustrating because you
know, they haven't won many world They

139
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.120
only have the one World Series in
the last ten years, Like this feels

140
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.799
like a window these next couple of
years to Mac to my show, Hey

141
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.200
and Freddie and Muki and the core
that they have, and if there was

142
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.360
a time where I think you go
a little bit more all in and you're

143
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.559
you're a little less cautious with the
deals you make in the deadline, like

144
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.519
this is the kind of year to
do it. We'll see though, if

145
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.960
they actually get that far, and
if any of the negotiations and players they're

146
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.639
trying to line up on, you
know, comes together in a way they

147
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.440
still think is fair value. So
Jack, let's just play worst case scenario

148
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.639
and let's you know, this would
probably, as you pointed out, would

149
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:35.279
probably piss some Dodger fans off.
Let's say they don't do anything. Is

150
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.799
this team with all the players returning
from the al good enough to win a

151
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:46.759
World Series? I think it's possible. A big piece of that is does

152
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:52.000
Yoshinobu Yamamoto come back and pitch like
he did earlier this year. Now,

153
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.039
to me, that's hardly a guarantee. It's probably more likely that he either

154
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.679
doesn't come back or comes back in
some sort of in a state because of

155
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.840
the shoulder entry he's had because he's
probably only going to get three or four

156
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:11.480
or maybe five starts before the beginning
of the playoffs because he was even on

157
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.039
a normal pitching schedule to begin with. So that's one variable. You know,

158
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.559
just Tyler Glass now not only stay
healthy the rest of the way,

159
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.879
but can the team manage his innings
and his workload. You know, he's

160
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:28.000
also approaching his career high innings total. I think the team's going to try

161
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.919
to be careful with how much they
use him down the stretch. So can

162
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:35.879
he thread that needle between staying healthy
but also remaining and affected. Cy Young

163
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.279
caliber kind of pitchers, and Gavin
Soone built off the first half of the

164
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.840
season he did and be a real
kind of like October caliber guy for you

165
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.399
when you get to the playoffs,
and then you know, with the lineup

166
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.360
in the bottom of the lineup be
better. So there's a lot of things

167
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:52.840
that if they go right. I
think the group that they do have with

168
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.120
maybe even some just minor tweets at
the deadline, could be good enough to

169
00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:00.519
win. But you're banking on a
lot of injury health, a lot of

170
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.919
injury luck, a lot of improved
performances from some of the guys at the

171
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.360
bottom of your roster. And again, that's the calculation that the team's going

172
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.039
to have to make here is you
know, they're in a good spot in

173
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.600
the standings right now, when when
they've played well, they've been one of

174
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.159
the best teams in baseball. But
then when they haven't, you know,

175
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:20.360
they go through stretches like they did
before the All Star Breaker where they were

176
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.279
basically a five hundred team for two
months of the season. Here, So

177
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.840
that's kind of the challenge of this
is, yes, they probably could win

178
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.360
a World Series if enough things go
right with the current group, but there's

179
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.399
a danger and you know, banking
on that and having more things go wrong

180
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.279
between now and October and then carrying
a flawed roster into the playoffs. Jack,

181
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.799
you wrote a piece, and it
makes perfect sense. Before the season,

182
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.240
Dodgers thought, well, Clayton Kershaw
will come back and that'll be a

183
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:50.360
luxury. Now it's a necessity,
and it's not like he was tearing it

184
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:56.279
up in the minors. Yeah,
I mean, you know, his situation

185
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:01.480
I think speaks to like the state
of the team right where suddenly he is

186
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:03.120
not just a bonus piece, right, You're not just trying to find a

187
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.360
way to work Clayton Kershaw onto the
rotation. They really need him in the

188
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.000
rotation at a bare minimum to help
take down starts and eat some innings and

189
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:16.360
just get the pitching staff as a
whole to October. But especially if they

190
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.759
don't make a big impact move between
now and the playoffs, or if they

191
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.200
don't get some of that injury luck
we're talking about between now and the playoffs,

192
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.480
I think it's very possible that Clayton
Kershaw is either starting games or pitching

193
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:31.720
important innings for this team in the
postseason. And it makes his form and

194
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:37.360
his recovery from the surgery and the
way that he's looked during his rehab stint

195
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.320
like it made it really important.
I think at times during his recovery he

196
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.440
flashed the kind of stuff that make
you think, Okay, this is still

197
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.440
a guy that can be an impact
pitcher. You know, a guy who

198
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.320
even when he was battling his shoulder
issues last year, had a sub three

199
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:56.399
er and was an all star pitcher. But at the same or on the

200
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:58.639
other side of the point, you
know, you look at his I was

201
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.360
at his last rehab start exes last
week. The first three innings were really

202
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.639
good. The fastball was up to
ninety two. He was playing the slider

203
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:07.759
off it really well. The curve
ball is still good. He was mixing

204
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.399
in a splitter. But then he
got to the fourth inning, which is

205
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:13.720
the deepest he pitched all year,
and suddenly the fastball was down to like

206
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.759
eighty seven eighty eight. He gave
up a long home run on a fastball

207
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.399
over the plate, and it reminded
you that, yeah, for as much

208
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.120
as this guy can work around some
of the physical limitations and the diminished stuff

209
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.000
that he has, now, this
is also the guy who got rocked for

210
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:30.919
six runs in the first inning of
the playoffs last year, because his stuff

211
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.720
isn't where it used to be and
because he's not quite the pitcher he used

212
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.240
to be. So I think in
the short term it's going to be a

213
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.480
benefit for them getting him back,
just to again help litify the rotation and

214
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:46.559
take down some starts with everybody else's
missing. But it will be interesting to

215
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:48.879
see how well he pitches over these
next couple months, and if the team

216
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:54.279
finds itself in a position where they're
relying on him again to pitching four innings

217
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.600
at October, which when you go
back to the offseason when he resigned with

218
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.720
the club. You know, that
did not seem like it was going to

219
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:05.080
be a preaty or a very likely
possibility this year. But it's definitely back

220
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.440
on the table now, all right, Jack Love when you come on man,

221
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.679
thanks for the info today. Yeah, you bet all right, Jack

222
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:15.279
Harris at the Times. See he's
good, Joe, good stuff, He's

223
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.320
really good. He's got it all
covered. He's got the miners covered,

224
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.679
he's got you know, everything going
on. You know, from an injury

225
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:28.919
standpoint, what they're thinking. I
liked it. Good stuff. Hey,

226
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:37.799
is that a drone up there?
Better not be. Jonas Knox is in

227
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:43.799
Today for Rodney and Today is California
Community College's Spotlight features Burbank native and star

228
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:48.720
of the popular TV crime drama n
CIS Mark Harmon Bride to his career in

229
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.120
Hollywood. Harrima a start quarterback at
Pierce College, where he was named the

230
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:58.039
national Junior College All American. He
partlaid that and there were two year careers

231
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.720
the starting quarterback at UCLA, where
he led the Bruins to a victory over

232
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:07.159
the defending national champion Nebraska Cornhuskers in
his first start. Harmon was inducted into

233
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.240
the Pierce College Hall of Fame in
twenty ten, and in an interview,

234
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.720
he said that was a very important
time in my life. There were no

235
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.960
guarantees. Not a lot of people
said I was making a smart choice.

236
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:20.960
Oftentimes it's the process instead of the
end result that you value most. Start

237
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:26.679
your future at a California community college. Financillete is available to help with tuition,

238
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.120
books, and sometimes even the rent. Time to take the next big

239
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:35.720
step. Classes can phill quickly enrolled
today and I can go to college dot

240
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:41.120
com early. What Pierce College?
Hey, you know about Peers? Listen,

241
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:46.799
I am a product of community college. Granted it was only six months,

242
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.519
but I counted Phoenix Junior College,
home of the Fighting Bears. My

243
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:54.519
brother, my brother played at Pierce
College. My other brother played at More

244
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.919
Park. Okay, yeah, I
played football. So what while you thumb

245
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.279
your nose at community college? No
not, I'm saying that, you know,

246
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.480
brings back fond memories. Saw a
lot of games at Peers and at

247
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:10.039
Moore Park. Tell you what,
it's a great education. It really,

248
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:14.639
I'm not exaggerating. It's a great
education. Yeah, and it's affordable and

249
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:17.879
it gets you started, you go
to a community college and graduate, you

250
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:21.440
can pretty much write your ticket to
whatever. For your university you want to

251
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:25.159
transfer to, you can. I
mean, I don't know if it's that

252
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:27.519
easy, but well I'm saying it's
a lot easier than getting in your freshman

253
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:32.519
year. You come out of a
jac you got a good chance to transfer

254
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:34.200
into a school you want to go
to, and there is school, and

255
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:40.480
you are like the difference between what
you are as eight as an eighteen year

256
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:42.039
old and what you are as a
twenty year old, yeah, like night

257
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:47.120
and day, like for that.
Two years out of high school completely changes

258
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:48.480
things. So you're a little bit
more of a grown up to adapt to

259
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.679
the college lifestyle if you've had that
cup of coffee at a community college.

260
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.159
See, I thought you were going
to say you're far more of a derelict

261
00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:00.159
after two years. Yeah, but
I'm not trying to make this about me.

262
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:02.639
Oh okay, okay, I mean, because what do I know.

263
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:03.839
I mean, at twenty years old, I think I was still working to

264
00:17:03.839 --> 00:17:07.680
toys r US right, right,
And what's wrong with that? It's a

265
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.960
lot of things. Nothing's wrong with
it, right, selling balls and jacks

266
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.279
and yo yo's now did you dress
up as the giraffe to us like you

267
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.160
dress as the rat chuck cheese.
Listen, that doesn't have to be like

268
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.839
that. Okay, No, there
was nobody to dress like a giraffe.

269
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.720
Okay, clearly wasn't tall enough to
fit the description. Okay, so that

270
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.359
wasn't the case. But I was
a maintenance guy, and I gotta tell

271
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:37.480
you dirty or bathroom by far and
away, the women's restroom not even close.

272
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:41.799
I just saw a lot of things
in there that kind of uh,

273
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:47.440
weren't the weren't the greatest in the
world. They stay with you. What

274
00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:49.000
you're seeing. You can't unsee him. Yeah, a lot of sense,

275
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.599
a lot of aromas. Okay,
we don't think. Well, I'm just

276
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.200
saying, like the baby changing,
okay, pull around thing. It just

277
00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:57.559
there's you know, it was rough. But listen, somebody had to do

278
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:03.400
it, right. I mean I
cleaned urinals during breaks or is that just

279
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.839
no? The boys club I used
to clean the urinals, not even I'm

280
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:19.640
out on this. What it's true
at the Agnes Miller Boys Club at a

281
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:27.119
summer job. And you're going like, I love how the boys club is

282
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:32.400
named after Agnes Miller too, that's
interesting. I know right across the street

283
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:36.599
from Robert D. Simpson School.
Everybody knew it, which wasn't all girls

284
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:38.720
school? I'm sure? Right?
Yeah? Right, Nineteenth Avenue and Missouri

285
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:44.640
the address Miller Boy's Club. That's
where I became the Arizona Boys Club Boy

286
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:52.039
of the Year. What right?
But the way they get you, like

287
00:18:52.039 --> 00:19:00.319
like a plaque urinal cake. You
got it up on the wall. All

288
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:02.880
right, listen, we have to
talk about this drone story. Yeah right,

289
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:04.319
seriously, get it together, everybody. I mean, you were very

290
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:07.680
upset when you heard about Choko Miata. Yeah, okay, Now we have

291
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.119
another Olympic story. With the Olympics
starting, we have to be your Olympic

292
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.839
show of note. Yeah right,
Canada's had two Olympic staff members home.

293
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.240
You know why why what do you
think? I mean? If it's involving

294
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.359
a drone, maybe they flew it
under somebody's dress to get a peek.

295
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.440
There's that. Or they could have
been out of Moulson Canadian Lager beer and

296
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:32.799
they wanted to go home and bring
it back. Which one do you think?

297
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:36.599
It was? Probably the Mulson Canadian
Lager beer. No, it was

298
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:41.160
the drone. What they did is
they flew a drone over New England's soccer

299
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:48.440
practice and we're spying on them.
And then when it was revealed that they

300
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.119
had done that, they got sent
home over New England soccer practice. New

301
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.279
Zealand, Oh you said, New
England, see you know what you did

302
00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:00.759
there? Because you know, I
thought spying and you just autumn tied in

303
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:06.920
New England, right, patriots?
That's true. I mean, so what

304
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:08.519
are they supposed to do, like
not trying, you know, find an

305
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:15.000
edge, Like like I think we're
way too judgmental on people that are trying

306
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:18.720
to find a way to be successful. Like I would argue they put a

307
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.720
lot of time and effort into trying
to fly this drone over to try and

308
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:27.359
get a little bit of an advantage. Maybe don't get rid of them completely,

309
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:33.000
maybe work with it. It's like
in Vegas when they find somebody that's,

310
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.480
you know, a card counter or
somebody that's cheating the casinos. They

311
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:40.359
don't just arrest them. They say, you know, what would you like

312
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:42.440
a job? How you doing it
right? We'll put you up there.

313
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:45.960
You can look on everybody and you
can spot who's trying to, you know,

314
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:49.400
pull Shenanigan's there at a blackjack table, Like, why not take that

315
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:55.440
approach? Why throw them out completely? To me, you're wasting an opportunity

316
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:57.240
to try and get better yourself.
So you're saying they should become part of

317
00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:03.599
security surveillance US. Well, unfortunately
that's not the case. As I read

318
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:07.960
this further. Uh, the two
Olympic staff members sent home prior to leaving,

319
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:12.519
they had a shot and a sig. Was Choko Miata? Did they

320
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:17.119
really? That's that's what I say. Only a shot in a cigarette.

321
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:21.559
Yeah, that so that that's a
punishable offense, a shot and a cigarette.

322
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:26.079
Well for Choko Miata it was by
the way, who's the athlete that

323
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.759
you were shocked most to find out
that they smoked? Oh that's good.

324
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:34.839
I don't know. I don't know. Well, here's the thing, Rodney

325
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:38.200
will tell you. They used to
smoke all the time in NFL locker rooms.

326
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:42.559
I know, in in hockey in
the ECHL, the Bakersfield Condors.

327
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:47.400
Oh yeah, I love the EHL. Right now they're in the AHL.

328
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:51.000
But back in the day, these
guys would skate off between periods at light

329
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:53.480
one up. Yeah, be in
the locker room. Remember the picture of

330
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:56.359
is it Lenn Dawson who was sitting
in the locker room as a member of

331
00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:00.359
the Chief Lenny Dawson, Yeah,
I just got a lung dart hang out,

332
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.200
just not a care in the world, right, like I've earned this,

333
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:06.680
that's right. What are you gonna
do about it? Exactly? I

334
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:08.440
know it's different because he was a
coach. I just does an NFL films

335
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:12.640
of John Matten just hacking up a
long dark yelling, got an official there

336
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:15.680
you ble ble bleeping and he takes
a puff and then yells at him again.

337
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.079
And nowadays Mike McDaniel's vaping, right, It was so much cooler when

338
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.799
Madden was smoking a cig like there
was just something about that. But what

339
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.559
about Jim Leland Jim Lean, Yeah, he was like Chimney, yeah yeah,

340
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.519
all right, Well a guy that's
lit him up his entire life,

341
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.759
joins us. Now it's time to
welcome on Victor Brec. Tell you what

342
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:45.039
he smoked. Some of that weed, Jesus Fred, Oh, now we

343
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:48.720
that weed. That weed, the
weed. He's had some of the weed,

344
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:53.079
the Mary Jane, the hippie lettuce, that's right. And he's also

345
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:59.079
got the high coup of two the
Mary Jane bit your light and went up

346
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:07.839
over there. I haven't. I
haven't smoked pot in a long time.

347
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:17.839
I have. I have smoked in
the past, of course, but I've

348
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:22.200
been very, very clean, and
for the last few decades, I really

349
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:32.119
haven't lit up since the Golden Triangle. I missed the Golden Triangle north of

350
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:38.319
chung My, Thailand, Burma Camboda
area. That was the last time.

351
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:45.759
So it's been a while. How
was that? People believe I every day

352
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:49.880
I'm talking, but I'm not.
This is my natural state. Well,

353
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:57.240
some people call you the space Cowboy, and I'm proud of it. Well,

354
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:02.680
he says, the River Sin is
clean for the upcoming Paris Olympics,

355
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:07.599
despite France spending one point five billion
dollars to clean it up. Fred Rogan,

356
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:10.720
well, if they spent that money, it should be clean, right.

357
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:19.279
Yes. In for Rodney, he's
a clean radio machine. A Jonas

358
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:27.000
knocks, light me up, Poppy, there you go. His river of

359
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:32.119
love is overflowing with baby. Oh
Kevin, come on now, did you

360
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:33.680
see, by the way last month
the mayor of Paris said, you know

361
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.680
what, that river is so clean, I'm gonna swim in it on like

362
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:40.920
May thirty first. So a bunch
of people on Twitter are like, on

363
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:44.799
May thirty, if let's all go
and just yeah, you know, all

364
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.839
up in that river. Two weeks
later, the pay of Paris says,

365
00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:48.599
you know what, I'm not gonna
do it on the thirty first, I'll

366
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:52.160
do it at a future date,
right right, Probably smarter than their part.

367
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.559
Absolutely, So people are just dropping
their pants and just going right there.

368
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:02.000
Well apparently that's the claim. Is
they do that anyway? Yeah,

369
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:07.799
in France, you're free. You
should have no inhibitions. Beava la Fronts.

370
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:15.039
Yeah, he is our bridge over
troubled water. Ronnie Fossio, he's

371
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:22.480
clean, no more smoking, only
edibles. Yeah yeah, yeah, well

372
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:30.319
you guys touched upart of it earlier. The turbulence of de Sean Foster addressing

373
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:37.160
the Big Ten media Day had a
rough moment at the mic, Hi,

374
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:44.480
guys doing I'm happy to be here, glad to be a part of this

375
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:52.119
great conference. Finally putting two great
emblems together, UCLA and the Big Ten.

376
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:57.000
Where a school that's won what one
hundred and twenty three championships? So

377
00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:04.319
this fits us being right in this
conference football wise, which is excited.

378
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:07.960
You know, I'm sure, you
guys don't know too much about uc LA

379
00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:22.680
but our football program. But we're
in LA, it's us in usc We

380
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:38.000
I'm just basically excited. Really,
that's it. Then questions, Yeah,

381
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:44.039
okay, the same question. What
was that? So Forster froze in its

382
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:48.400
opening statement, I say, give
to Sean a break. I'm with you.

383
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:53.400
I have frozen in the moment,
Fred Jonas, you guys haven't lost

384
00:26:53.440 --> 00:27:10.640
your train of thought? What was
I just thinking? I just froze in

385
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:17.759
the moment? Oh man, all
right, we'll have Vic more, all

386
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:22.640
right, Jonas Natson Today for Rodney, Vic was talking about having a moment

387
00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:29.400
where he kind of lost his train
of thought, and Vic, can you

388
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:36.960
please elaborate on that? Absolutely,
Fred, I have total empathy for Deshaun

389
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:45.440
Foster at the Big Ten media day
today because it happened to me, and

390
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.400
I'm sure it's happened to a lot
of people, you know, who speak

391
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:53.680
publicly, you know, for a
living or or on stage. So I'm

392
00:27:53.720 --> 00:28:02.759
eighteen years old and I lost it. In Jamaica, Queens, I was

393
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:08.960
performing at the Saint John's Happy Hour
on a late Friday afternoon. I was

394
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:15.119
developing a comedy act at the time. So I'm doing exotic takes on the

395
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:22.119
New York Knickerbockers, especially Willis Reid. I'm ad libbing when suddenly I went

396
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:26.759
down a verbal rabbit hole. I
lost my flow for a few seconds,

397
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:34.400
and suddenly, you know, the
crowd's getting pretty pretty ripped. Fruits are

398
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:42.359
being thrown on the stage, Tomatoes
hurled at my head. Suddenly a salad

399
00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:48.279
before my eyes. I'm freaking out. I scamper off stage. Total disaster.

400
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:53.440
Freaked me out. But you got
to get back on the horse.

401
00:28:55.440 --> 00:29:00.480
I rewrote my stuff, did lots
of reps in front of them. Were

402
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:06.920
then I did open mics at Catch
a Rising Star in Manhattan, down in

403
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:12.559
New York. Nothing great, but
better than my Saint John's fiasco. Big

404
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:18.279
your eight your eight ten years old. Deshaun Foster's the head football coach at

405
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:22.279
u c l A. Yes,
what happens, Fred, Why do we

406
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:26.559
have to put an age on brain
fart? Exactly exactly, Jane Knox,

407
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:36.319
it happens, Fred. I mean, it was a good run through for

408
00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:38.559
the shown because obviously, you know
he's going to get more reps. He's

409
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:41.400
going to do, you know,
hundreds of press conferences and He's going to

410
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.480
get better and better. I think
the problem is you and I are looking

411
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:52.200
at it as flawed broadcasters, and
admittedly so Fred's looking at it looking at

412
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:57.119
it from a broadcaster with a perfect
record. Perfection is all about Fred Rogan

413
00:29:57.200 --> 00:30:02.079
and his career. I don't he
he can't relate like we can relate.

414
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:06.680
No, I I'm not perfect by
any stretch of the imagination. Mm hm,

415
00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:12.599
Fred, there wasn't a time in
a high an Arizona high school stage

416
00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:18.000
or you were doing a pep rally
or why would I be doing a pep

417
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:25.599
rally? Well? Why not?
What do you think of the cheerleader a

418
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:29.160
yell leader? I used to do
pep rallies in Ota, New Mexico.

419
00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:33.480
Fred doesn't striking me as the pep
rally type. What do you mean you

420
00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:40.400
did pep rallies in Artesia, Mexico. I go to high schools on a

421
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:45.319
Friday. They would ask me to
come and address the uh the high school.

422
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:49.079
Why why would they ask you to
pump it up? Well? What

423
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:52.079
are you walking down the street and
going I'm available? Ask me? Why

424
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:56.200
why did they ask you to come
and pump up the teams? Because that

425
00:30:56.400 --> 00:31:02.000
that's what I That's what I did
when I was a local sports a sportscaster,

426
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:06.359
a small market. Fred, we're
in a big market high school football.

427
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:11.680
Again. Fred's a big market guy, mister perfect. He can't relate.

428
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:18.359
He doesn't know what the struggles are
like in a smaller market. Well,

429
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:19.279
now I get it. I thought
you were just walking down the street.

430
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:22.920
I didn't know you were working.
Yeah I was. I was.

431
00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:30.000
I was humbly invited to go to
the high school gyms around Southeastern New Mexico

432
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:33.119
and you know, pump up the
high schools before the big game. Yeah,

433
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:36.640
Fred, I loved it. Fred
Fred Vick was standing outside a car

434
00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:42.079
dealership spinning signs the team up he
was talking about. Yeah, I'm in

435
00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:45.680
Hobbes, New Mexico. Say you
know what, you have five minutes left

436
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:49.319
to come in and just, uh
you know, roll out some some tributes

437
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:53.559
to the high school football team.
No, Fred Vig, what did you

438
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:57.319
charge for an appearance like that?
Oh? Totally totally free? Are you

439
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:06.359
kidding me? Always free, dude. It was fun, high energy high

440
00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:08.720
school football, Southeastern New Mexico.
Are you kidding me? What would you

441
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:17.079
wear? I was? I was
more jeans, relaxed, maybe maybe the

442
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:22.319
high school shirt, right, you
know, it was very cool time.

443
00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:25.640
How long would you do it for? Maybe like a twenty minute show.

444
00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:30.039
Sure, I'll tell you this putting
on his show. Can we please give

445
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:36.759
it up for Gavin Lucks? LuxI
is so weak? Heiliente hat. He's

446
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:38.119
hitting four hundred the last couple of
weeks. Got to give it up for

447
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:43.839
LuxI And he's playing a flawless second
base and we're all forgetting he's playing a

448
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:46.200
beautiful second base. Oh, Fred's
raider ship him out of town. Listen

449
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:51.160
to the first segment of the show. Give it up for LuxI? Man,

450
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:59.079
how about the knack last night?
Five strong yeap and on Tani signed

451
00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:01.319
three runs better than all five dods. You run scored with two outs.

452
00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:07.680
That's how you win events. That's
how you win will service vic I got

453
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:10.319
to tell you something. You know, we talked earlier about the fact that

454
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:15.400
TNT had lost the NBA rights.
The NBA put out a message or a

455
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:21.039
statement saying it goes to Amazon.
Can I just read you something? Sure?

456
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:25.640
TNT Their response, we have matched
the Amazon offer as we have a

457
00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:30.279
contractual right to do, and do
not believe the NBA can reject it,

458
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.119
and doing so, they are rejecting
the many fans who continue to show their

459
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:38.640
unwavering support for our best in class
coverage delivered through the full combined reach of

460
00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:45.400
wbd's video first distribution platforms, including
TNT, home to our four decade partnership

461
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:50.640
with the league, and here it
is Max, our streaming service. We

462
00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:53.839
think they have grossly misinterpreted our contractual
rights with respect to the twenty five to

463
00:33:53.880 --> 00:34:00.799
twenty six season and beyond, and
we will take appropriate action. They're going

464
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:07.800
to assume this is an ugly video
rights deal man. This is this is

465
00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:13.000
out of control. They drugged their
feet, they waited too long, they

466
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:16.440
opened up negotiations for somebody else,
and now they're trying to go back and

467
00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:30.719
right the wrong. It's over come
on Boom boom. You know that leads

468
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:36.679
is too VIC. Before we get
to the Highku for it, Sumo day

00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:46.400
