Want you pound sand pound sand Brother yes, 33 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:14.919 I'm sure it was preceded by an awful joke.

Kevin's working on all just 38 00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.719 so many things. Kevin, why don't you fill us out on some of 39 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.919 the things you're working on? You know what's so exclusive and so amazing. 40 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.680 I cannot even divulge to them all the air right now? So you got 41 00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:46.360 nothing? How dare you say you got nothing? All right, but you'll 42 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.439 have something by Monday. I will promise you that. All right. Now, 43 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.000 let's have some spirituality. Need it? One man can provide it. 44 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:59.719 I think you know that is there's only one. Vic the brick with the 45 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:10.800 day at two Big Good Afternoon. He's leading the search to find the missing 46 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:16.680 goats in Ontario. Fred Rogan Yello, Vic, what do you mean missing 47 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:23.280 goats in Ontario? This story filled me with such sadness. Yesterday a farm 48 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:30.680 was ripped off of their goats, and the search is on for these beautiful 49 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:37.240 goats in Ontario. Somebody went to a farm in Ontario and stole goats, 50 00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:43.919 correct, Fred. Not only that, but the goats were pregnant. Oh 51 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:50.439 lord, pregnant goats for a farmer. How many goats? At least a 52 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:52.639 dozen, Freddy, It's like, you know, it's like five hundred dollars 53 00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:57.639 a goat. Wait a minute, they stole a dozen pregnant goats. At 54 00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.479 least a dozen goats. I'm not sure how many were Pregnan and Fred, 55 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.240 but at least a dozen goats. A good number of them were. I 56 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:09.560 saw the story to Vic Rights. It's so sad, and now they're going 57 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:15.959 to sell the goats. M Although they do have tattoos behind the ears, 58 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:23.959 apparently they are marked, you know, specifically marked livestock. Their gangster goats, 59 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:28.560 Vick goats got tats. They inked up behind the ear. Is that 60 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.800 normal for a goat? If you're going to get ink, you do it 61 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:36.680 behind the ear. Vic, I'm not familiar with the agrarian ways, Fred. 62 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.120 You know, being brought up in the you know, in Brooklyn, 63 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.319 New York and Queens, we didn't have much. We didn't have much livestock 64 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.160 rolling around the streets. But that's interesting because you know, as you progressed 65 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:53.920 in life and learned, you have become one with the land you love scarecrows. 66 00:04:55.000 --> 00:05:00.759 Yes, and you know you better than anyone could speak to life on 67 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.560 the farm. VIC. Well, thank you, Fred, that's an honor. 68 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:08.839 I'm humbled and honored. I love the farmers. Let's face it, 69 00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.800 Without the farmers, what do we eat? God bless the farmers of America 70 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:17.079 and the world. A tribute, incredible product, a tribute. Have you 71 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:23.399 ever walked around in overalls? Yes? Lord, I a college. That 72 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:33.079 was my so funny underneath I rocked over no socks, just overalls. Now 73 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.839 I was rocking the Calvin klients underneath. But the bottom line, okay, 74 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:42.959 I did wear overalls, Fred, And it's so funny you bring that up. 75 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.399 That was that was my garb. I dug it. You ever do 76 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:55.040 any harvesting, VIC harvesting? Well, not weed. By the way, 77 00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:00.759 my cherry tree right now is uh abound in blossoms. What are you annoying 78 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:06.720 the cherry blossoms right now? This is we're getting a late surge of of 79 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:12.439 soccera as they say in Japanese. The soccera. We're getting a late surge 80 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:16.240 of blossoms with soos. No, I hear you. But what I'm suggesting, 81 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.639 Vic, what I'm asking is you ever been out there with the whole? 82 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:25.240 What you ever gone out to the field with the whole? I have 83 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:29.560 harvested coconuts and Tahiti, Fred, Yes, okay, I've done some some 84 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:33.879 coconut harvesting on the on the on the A tolls on the what the A 85 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:40.800 tolls? Not the other? Not? Oh Freddy, come on, you 86 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.160 know look on the islands. You know, Irelanders will own little pieces of 87 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.959 Ireland and where they'll harvest their crops. Eight tolls, eight tolls, Vic, 88 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:53.959 right, eight tolls exactly, Rodney. Yeah, what do you think? 89 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.600 What do you think? Body said? You know what I'm would just 90 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:05.800 say this. I'm to the looks you're giving me today. We started the 91 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:11.000 show saying we needed an edgy guy, the Dodgers needed somebody edgy, and 92 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.720 I think you took it to heart as being that guy and taking on that 93 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.240 role. Fred. Friends in here talking about hoes is like you ever hang 94 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.319 out with the whole. It's a family show, Fred, No, that's 95 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:23.879 not what I said. I said, have you ever taken the hole of 96 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:39.920 the field. Wouldn't you use a hole in the field? If but listen 97 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:47.600 to the round balls to the left. You have a problem with them. 98 00:07:43.040 --> 00:08:00.240 But if anybody can flocate these goals, it's Rockney Peach. Yeah, that's 99 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:07.879 your guy. Yes, yes, Lord, and he is a seeker of 100 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.639 fabulous content, Kevin figure not come on now. I just hope that the 101 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.399 goat farmer finds them before the chup of Cobra does, because that would be 102 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.399 very ugly. Who come on, Fred, you never heard of the chup 103 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:24.759 Oficbra. Know what that is? Come off ready? I twant to god, 104 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.240 what is that? Vic? This was like the re education of Fred 105 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.559 Rogan. Yes, I I really don't what is that? It would be? 106 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:39.879 It would be an evil an evil goat in mythology, and some say 107 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:46.200 that the troop of Cobra does exist. It's like a like a mutant dog 108 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:52.039 of some sort, but it basically only attacks goats in livestock, so it's 109 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.639 it's not a mutant goat, unless unless that's a different type of than I 110 00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:09.799 said. It was an evil goat, evil goat evil. Now, Vick, 111 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.840 you might be thinking of goat man man, goat man who apparently like 112 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.799 hides under bridges and attacks people. It's a man that looks like a coat. 113 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.360 It's a giant. It's a humanoid type of goat. You mean, 114 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.240 like a troll from the old fairy Tales side so if yeah, but much 115 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.039 more sinister. You don't have to like answer like questions to cross the road. 116 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.120 This thing will just kill you. What it's like a human being with 117 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.919 a goat head. No, it's like a so think of like it has 118 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.240 a goat's head with horns, but has like a humanoid body. Think of 119 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.600 like a centaur. A centaur is like, you know, a half man, 120 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:45.879 half horse. But so he's standing on his on two feet, biped 121 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.000 and has like furry legs, and he has like the torso of a man 122 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.600 and the head of a goat, just like Mothman, half mothed and half 123 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.519 man. There you go a lot of sightings in Midwest of old Mothman. 124 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.960 What about manimal half man, half animal is not a show on TV? 125 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:11.279 Fant Well, this man is a musical seeker and he might even play the 126 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:18.120 Aussie pop band from the sixties The Seekers on Throwback Thursday. Hey there Georgie 127 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.320 girl swinging down the streets, so fancy free. It's Ronnie Fossil pipe of 128 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:28.399 Billy goats, king flavor. Yeah yeah, play that pan flu big, 129 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:33.759 Thank you so much, sah and listen, all Dodger fans. I'm feeling 130 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:39.519 you. Seven deep breaths. Everybody settled down, seven deep, seven deep. 131 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:50.879 Now not too fast, you'll hypermentally slow. There was some sunshine, 132 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.559 so gorgeous day at the stadium yesterday. Weatherwise, of course, offensively it 133 00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.919 was a mess. But on the mound, Landon Knock his Dodger debut, 134 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:07.960 very solid, yeah, very just two runs in the first inning. He 135 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:13.080 looked good and celebrating the knack. Did you see the Knock family in the 136 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:20.360 stands. They were tremendous casting spells on the Knock bats. The Knock family 137 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:26.480 was tremendous at Dodger Stadium. But overall a bummer at the ravine. Lost 138 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:31.720 a couple straight series, still seeking the way, very very early, such 139 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:39.000 a small sample size. Everybody relaxed, drinking, ledad enjoy the ride. 140 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:45.480 It's going to be an amazing season. Everybody lost, You lost me at 141 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:50.639 knac bats. Who was this Garcia at second base for the Washington Nationals. 142 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.960 This guy was like he was like Brooks Robinson rein Karnate but playing second. 143 00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:00.399 I mean everything everything Freddie Freeman hit, he hit, you know see it. 144 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.840 There's ninety eight baller now off the middle from forty five, there's Garcia. 145 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.120 I mean it was, it was ridiculous. Already with this Garcia. 146 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.480 I'm not already with Garcia. At least the Brooks Robinson was a very relevant 147 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:22.440 reference. Well back in the day the human vacuum cleanup. Yes, but 148 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.879 now you know they're meditating today, the Dodgers, they're relaxing. They're the 149 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.440 meditating vic You don't know that. You don't know if they're all sitting around 150 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:35.679 meditating, they're probably outdoing things. They're not sitting like in the Zendome with 151 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:43.039 their legs crossed with the peote staring at the Buddha. Unless Phil Jackson, 152 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:52.039 so many you went to so many ethnic centers around the world and religions around 153 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:58.759 the world, Freddie, I think you included ninety eight percent of them smoking 154 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.879 the peyote watching the Buddha. Well, I run to cover every every possible 155 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.840 type of meditation. They uncovering all the bases, as they say in the 156 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.720 baseball parlance. But you know, The New York Mets are coming in tomorrow, 157 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.600 and listen the METSA. The METSA are not shlock this year. They 158 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:24.519 just swept the Pirates at home and they they have some energy. So the 159 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.559 METSA are gonna be a you know, no chopped liver over the weekend. 160 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.360 The Dodger has got to step up, you know, just play the brand 161 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:35.120 of baseball. What do you think the problem is? It's it's tough. 162 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.960 It's a it's a tough call. The pitching has been solid, you know, 163 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:45.600 bullpen a little spotty, but okay, there's just a it's it's hard. 164 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.799 It's hard really to put a finger on fred and you know, Freddy 165 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:54.720 slump in the middle of the lineup is tough. Y Mookie has been unbelievable. 166 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.639 You know, Tani is not hitting with runners and scoring position that hurts. 167 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:07.679 Will Smith's been sensational. It's hard to really pinpoint, you know why 168 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.240 they've lost a couple of straight series. They're not firing on all cylinders for 169 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.559 it, and they will. This lineup is so strong, the lineup is 170 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.279 so talented. Yeah, I believe they're gonna take two out of three from 171 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:22.080 the Mets. And you find their footing, you know, before they hit 172 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:28.799 the road next week. But again, yeah, Momono needs a good start 173 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:35.799 tomorrow and I believe you will, so Dodger fares again. Just relax. 174 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.960 Yeah, as David if I say, loves to say, it's linear, 175 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.440 linear, it's linear. It's one hundred and sixty two games. You're gonna 176 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.399 go through, you know, crazy uh sections, crazy spurts. This is 177 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:56.120 an aberration, yo, this is an aberration. Yeah, you guys excited 178 00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:03.120 for Clippers Mavericks. You don't even know. The Clippers previewed the two billion 179 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.200 dollars Into with Dome yesterday for the media hordes, and it's amazing. The 180 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:16.639 first taste will be media horses. Fred's fault. What to hose and out 181 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:26.879 round a media horse all over the Into with Dome yesterday, sensational structure, 182 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:33.320 into it, let's get into it. Two sold out shows August fifteenth and 183 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:39.320 sixteenth, So brutal Mars will actually open this amazing building at Englewood. Wait 184 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.039 a minute. If they showed it to the media hordes yesterday and I'm looking 185 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.759 it up, how come I can't see anything from what happened inside, No 186 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:52.399 fix, no pictures, there were no pictures, your cameras away. A 187 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.840 couple of videos floating around, but certainly was not a big to do, 188 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:58.240 not that I saw. Well, then if you let people in to see 189 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.480 what it looks like, but they can't record any of it, No, 190 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:04.879 they could record. There are some who recorded some video and some photos. 191 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:11.279 I don't think it was highly It wasn't highly publicized immediately, but there there's 192 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.399 some floating out there. Well I want to see. I'm gonna be down 193 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.600 there June twenty sixth doing an event the day before it officially opens. Put 194 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:23.039 that in your pipe and smoke it. Also booked at the into a Dome 195 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:30.799 will be usher, Yeah, wheezer, twenty one pilots and the piano man. 196 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.519 We're going to get back to Vic. Vic's not done's done, but 197 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:41.279 Vic worked himself up. He has to take a rest because we don't want 198 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.960 to quick intermition, quick intern for Vic. Yeah, so Vic take arrest. 199 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.000 David Vanssai is going to join us next then we're gonna bring you back 200 00:16:48.039 --> 00:17:00.480 on Yeah, uh huh the slide the family, Ronnie, that what you're 201 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:08.400 doing? Yes, Fred Rogan, throw back Thursday, going strong? Where's 202 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.480 my barbecue? Brother? Fred? Oh? He'll be right here.

Yeah, each it's Japan's number one green tea. 205 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:26.960 Each o in Japan's number one green tea. I had some earlier, he 206 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:32.240 did. Yeah, how to make you feel made me feel great on sweet 207 00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:34.359 and green tea. The perfect source of caffeine to get you through the day. 208 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:40.119 Look for the bright green cann bottle. It's available all over the place. 209 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:42.359 So there you go, eating. You got to give that a shot. 210 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:47.920 Where's it available? Fred? Well, you know Amazon, Costco, 211 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:51.000 Roves Old Foods. What do you want me to tell you? You want 212 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:55.039 it? You can find it eating. Give yourself a little boost, get 213 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:56.480 you a little boost, all right. Here's a man that always gives us 214 00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:03.319 a boost. Dodger God davidssay, hello David. On second thought, Fred, 215 00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:06.559 please don't call me that again. Well, but you told me to 216 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:11.160 call you that yesterday, so I did again. I did it because you 217 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.759 asked. I did it because I care and I listened, Dave. That's 218 00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:19.160 why I did it. I changed my mind. Okay, Well, thank 219 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:22.920 you, you're just a mere mortal once again? Yes, all right, 220 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.599 Dave didn't like the way it rolled off his lips. Day, No, 221 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:32.759 it was, it was not sincere, and it was just weird, almost 222 00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:40.119 weird. Greg Doyle and Caitlin Collins, all right, Dave, let's just 223 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:42.200 be honest. Things aren't looking great right now. They the Dodgers just don't 224 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.000 look good. They seem out of sink. Well can you put your finger 225 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:48.519 on it. I mean we can say they're not hitting, and but is 226 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.680 there anything else? Well, I mean, it just feels like they're an 227 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:59.599 unsettled team right now after they're superstars. James Outman really hasn't hit on all 228 00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.000 cylinder. They call up Andy Paez and he only has one hit in his 229 00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:08.000 first two games. Gavin Lux has struggled out of the gates. So you 230 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:12.000 know, baseball is not like the NBA where one guy can take over and 231 00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:15.880 take you to the Promised Land. If it was, Mookie Betts would be 232 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:21.039 doing that for the Dodgers. But it's not like that. You need contributions, 233 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:25.759 not just from the nine hitters. You need defensive contributions, you need 234 00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:30.720 pitching contributions, and right now it just hasn't come together. But with that 235 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:34.279 being said, Fred, the Dodgers are in first place and they're still not 236 00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:38.359 playing their best baseball. They've lost seven out of twelve and they're still in 237 00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:42.559 first place. Nothing to be in first place. We're not worried about that, 238 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:48.200 Yeah, right, So why do you care about them getting things in 239 00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.039 order in April for October? I mean that we've talked about this a million 240 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:56.240 times, and it feels like the frustrations of everybody has come out in the 241 00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:03.119 last week. Wh I'm not sure. I mean, the Dodgers were hovering 242 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:07.359 around five hundred into June last year, So I mean, I'm not going 243 00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.799 to overreact to a stretch in April. Yeah, and you shouldn't. And 244 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.960 you shouldn't, Dave, in terms of when we've talked about this, right 245 00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:19.880 since the start season started, it's the top four, and then you maybe 246 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:22.880 want to throw Max Munci in that maybe because he's kind of had some up 247 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:29.200 and downs, but some good moments and then the struggles begin. Except for 248 00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:34.279 my man Tiaskar still doing his thing. Can it be a case, Dave, 249 00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:41.240 that the rest of the team, looking at the Otani, Betts and 250 00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:45.640 Freeman and Will Smith, that it has affected them. You know, we 251 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:48.680 always talk about the pressure on the stars the guys that made all the money, 252 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:53.039 the big name guys, But what about the other guys. Do you 253 00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:57.640 think that could be any part of it is that they are feeling the pressure 254 00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:04.440 themselves being on this team. Well yeah, I mean I feel like we 255 00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:10.400 saw last year James Outman let the pressure of the playoffs affect him. He 256 00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:15.440 actually admitted nerves got the best of him when he dropped that first fly ball 257 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.279 in Game one of the nlds last year. So that's the real thing. 258 00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:22.559 And you know, some guys are not made for this where there is a 259 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.559 microscope on everything you do before the game, during the game, and after 260 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:30.920 the game, and you see who you have on your team and you're trying 261 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:34.079 to live up to that level. I think to a certain extent, some 262 00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:40.039 of these guys that are not as talented as Otani and Freddie and Mooky are 263 00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:42.799 trying to get to their level and trying to do too much instead of just 264 00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:47.920 being themselves, right right, I feel that too. Yeah, And you 265 00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:49.599 know it doesn't help that, you know, Freddie's struggling. I mean, 266 00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:52.640 you know he's still hitting well, but it's not you know, the Freddie 267 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.279 Freeman that we've seen. Mooky you called it before the season. I said 268 00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:59.640 this the other day, you said, Mooki be the MVP this year. 269 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:02.880 I mean, you nailed that, the way he is playing, But it 270 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:07.119 just seems like everybody else is in sort of this malaise, Dave. Yeah, 271 00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:10.880 and also you got to keep the line moving. There's I mean, 272 00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:15.960 it's hard to ignore Otani won for nineteen with runners in scoring position. That's 273 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.680 part of the equation of keeping the line moving. But also, you know, 274 00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:22.839 Will Smith is sitting close to three seventy, but he only has one 275 00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:26.759 home run. So there's just some weird things going on right now in the 276 00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.000 last twelve games that I wouldn't expect to continue the rest of the season. 277 00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:37.599 Are we gonna still see some more shuffling some guys maybe that you know, 278 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:41.880 we didn't expect coming up, Dave, Just to give some guys a shot, 279 00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:47.359 like Paes and maybe somebody else. I feel like this is it. 280 00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:52.640 I mean, they've shot their bullets here with Landon Knack and Andy Paie. 281 00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.079 Has the rest of the Dodgers talented players are you know in the lower minor 282 00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:02.160 leagues. Yeah, there's some complimentary pieces like a Trey Sweeney who's been playing 283 00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:07.880 really good shortstop down in the minors. But everybody that is a blue Chipper 284 00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:11.359 is here or has been used already. So these are the guys. Dave 285 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:15.680 Walker, Bueller one more rehab start than he comes up or no, yeah, 286 00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:21.160 it's actually today, And it's all contingent on if he gets to eighty 287 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:26.759 pitches and where his stuff is at. I've heard different things about where his 288 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:30.400 stuff is at as far as you know, just the data on the way 289 00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:36.160 he's spinning his baseball and the velocity and all that movement. So it's one 290 00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:40.480 thing to be healthy, it's another one to be effective. So I would 291 00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:45.119 I would imagine with the way Land and Knack yesterday, it does Dodger one 292 00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:52.960 more start for a walk at his house in order. Yeah, and Blake 293 00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:56.839 Trining, Hey, what can you tell us about him? Oh? Well, 294 00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:59.519 Blake Trenton is going to be on off day Dodger Talk tonight. I 295 00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:03.359 could tell you that, Rodney, I love that tonight, right day, 296 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:10.400 seven pm, seven pm tonight, And I'll share my very animated conversation with 297 00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:15.640 Blake trying it because I got a little loose with my shop talking with him, 298 00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:18.799 and he let me hear it during this interview. So we'll share that 299 00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:23.319 today and he's on his way back. I could see him returning maybe in 300 00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:27.839 Arizona at the end of this three city road trip when the Dodgers go out 301 00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:33.720 to Washington, Toronto and finish in Phoenix, or even coming back when the 302 00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.920 Dodgers return home. So I could see either one day does not get another 303 00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:40.519 start if he sticks up here. I actually thought, you know, take 304 00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:47.000 away the two long balls. He pitched pretty well yesterday. Uh yeah, 305 00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:51.559 he I feel like he earned another spot for I heard. I feel like 306 00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:56.640 he earned another start the way he hitched. I really do, all right, 307 00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:02.079 And that's what I meant. It's like walker bu are getting an extra 308 00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:07.119 rehab start, right because one of them was abbreviated Dave real quick because you're 309 00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:11.720 around them all the time. Is there any sense in that clubhouse, like 310 00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.799 the are they feeling any of this? Because I know the fans are and 311 00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:18.240 the fans are antsy and all that, But within the clubhouse, are they 312 00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.720 feeling any kind of frustration? Are they feeling any kind of pressure at all? 313 00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:27.880 No? I don't think so, Rodney. That's what everybody wants to 314 00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:33.839 jump to when you go into some sort of a little skid here and they 315 00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.720 know they're not playing their best baseball. But I don't feel like there's any 316 00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:41.960 frustration. The only frustration would be individually, right, James Outman frustrated with 317 00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:47.680 himself. Freddie Freeman has higher standards for himself than anybody else, so I 318 00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:55.000 would say there's more individual frustration rather than a team frustration. All right, 319 00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:57.880 Dave Dodg, you talk tonight, seven o'clock. Thanks for coming on, 320 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:02.519 all right, Thanks a lot, Fred, Thanks a lot.

Okay, this just 335 00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:08.039 stand from the Clipper press conference with Lawrence Frank, president of basketball ops for 336 00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:15.799 the Clippers. Ye. Lawrence Frank says that Kawhi has been listed as questionable 337 00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:22.160 for the Mavericks Game one, and the right knee injection has not been confirmed 338 00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:29.160 by who. By Lawrence Frank, he basically was didn't answer the question when 339 00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:32.359 they asked him whether or not he got an injection. He decided he didn't 340 00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:37.799 decide not to answer firm correct, which means it probably happened. Yeah, 341 00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:47.799 don't you think? Well the secrecy Listen, they're preparing for the Mavericks, 342 00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:52.559 like Tlou says, as if the claw will be in the mix, But 343 00:27:52.880 --> 00:28:00.559 how do you defend Luca and Kyrie Irving? That's going to be the narrative 344 00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:07.000 of this series. I love Clippers in six ooh you defend them. You 345 00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:11.720 don't vic they gonna get theirs. You can't let you can't let other folks 346 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.880 get theirs. Exactly, Rodney. They're gonna get theirs. They're too talented. 347 00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:22.880 They're too crazy talented, those two dudes. But the Clippers line up, 348 00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:27.319 especially with Kawhi in it, there's no way the Mavericks will will beat 349 00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:34.400 the Clippers. And don't forget first round of the playoffs Clippers, Dallas Mavericks. 350 00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:38.960 First taste from d t L A Sunday. They tip at twelve thirty. 351 00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:45.480 Listen on our sister station, AM eleven fifty. How about the former 352 00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:52.640 Clipper Nick Botoom last night La La Monster game for Philly wee six trade for 353 00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:57.640 Batoom as they beat Miami in the East and they play it. How about 354 00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:02.279 Jimmy Butler though, Wow, that's a tough break, man, It's a 355 00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:04.039 tough break from Miami's out at least a few weeks with the whole game on 356 00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:10.240 that too. Yeah, she is a baller man. He is a baller 357 00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:12.599 boy. I mean, how many steals did he have yesterday? Like eight? 358 00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:18.680 I mean he was picking pockets and doing his thing. And Jimmy's just 359 00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:22.920 all around He's just a good basketball player, you know what I mean, 360 00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:34.480 just solid, yes, doing the right right spots. Very blow. How 361 00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:37.799 about the guy with the best hair in the Association, Kobe White of the 362 00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:45.799 Chicago Bulls. Forty two points and the Bulls play and play and win over 363 00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:52.000 Atlanta, but his hair is unbelievable. I can't think of an NBA dude 364 00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:59.519 with better hair in the last few years than the Kobe. Exactly, Fred, 365 00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:07.960 you step on the court, it's seven eight points. Yeah. The 366 00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:15.000 Laker Denver Nugget series has been well chronicled. But here's what the Lakers would 367 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:17.799 do. You got to think out of the box. Listen, you've lost 368 00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:22.720 eighth straight. Nothing's worked the last few minutes, dominated by Denver. They 369 00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:26.880 are the world champions, they are the better team. But the Lakers have 370 00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:30.079 to think out of the box for this series. What do you do? 371 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:34.000 Here's what I would do. I'm de Ham who I love. I'm hiring 372 00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:42.880 the new Hall of Famer Michael Cooper to come to my practices every time we 373 00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:49.240 throw it down and do drills. Michael Cooper teaches us defense defense. Okay, 374 00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:52.160 that's fair. Do you think it might be a little late in the 375 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:56.640 season. To bring out a defensive coach to teach them how to guard the 376 00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:00.759 perimeter. Not at all. And I don't They haven't defended the perimeter in 377 00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.279 fifteen years. Fred, So I don't. I don't know if this Michael 378 00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:10.279 Cooper is going to teach him in two hours, Fred, repetition is key. 379 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.680 You're bringing Coop Coop, It couldn't hurt. Let the Coop share the 380 00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:22.359 wisdom of how to how to do the runout, how maybe to get physical 381 00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:26.440 with the Joker. They don't get physical with the joker. Joko has his 382 00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:29.839 way with the Lakers, and that's the problem. Well, I don't know 383 00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:33.000 who gets someone's got to get physical with the joke is the It's the NBA 384 00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:37.519 in twenty twenty four, and nobody gets physical with anybody. I understand. 385 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:40.319 That's why I'm saying, you gotta if you want to beat Denver, you 386 00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:41.480 got to think out of the box. Back in the day, Coop could 387 00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:44.440 tackle a guy and it would even be called the foul. It is this 388 00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:48.640 a different NBA Now? You can't lay a finger on somebody without them calling 389 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:51.720 the foul. Now, especially on a star player like Jokis, will make 390 00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:56.640 him feel you you know, make him feel let Gordon feel you on the 391 00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:00.839 wing, you know, do some serious runouts. That's how you beat Denver. 392 00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:06.920 The defense and rebounding. I don't have to quote ded Ham. I 393 00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:09.839 think fund the fundamental basketball. You want to beat the Denver Nuggets in seven? 394 00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:14.359 Yeah, you got a rebound and you gotta play defense. I think 395 00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:16.759 fundamentally that I understand you need to close out when a guy shoots. I 396 00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:20.920 don't think that that's going to be a revelation, nor do you want a 397 00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:22.759 revelation for you don't see that much. I think little Owen knew that plan 398 00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:27.039 for Fred. I mean, I don't think you're gonna have Michael Cooper come 399 00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:30.799 out there and have Austin Reeves start shooting threes and guys run up from three 400 00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:36.279 feet and stick their hand up to practice. I think they know that they 401 00:32:36.359 --> 00:32:39.200 might not do it, but I think they know it. I think Kaitlyn 402 00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:45.960 Clark does run outs. And speaking of Caitlin, she is a revelation, 403 00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:51.119 of course, transformed women's hoop. Show me the money you know she gets 404 00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:54.680 that seventy six thousand salary from the Indiana Fever. Yeah, well, Nike, 405 00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:59.319 he has hooked her up with a million dollar deal plus her own line 406 00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:06.279 of swoosh, Adidas and under Armor. Also heavily schmoozing Caitlin. But it 407 00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:10.920 was Nike. But how about that freaky reporter who crieppt out Caitlin at her 408 00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:19.559 Indiana pressor Indie Star reporter Greg Doyle. He made the heart symbol towards Caitlin, 409 00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:23.720 and then it got a little weird. Hi Caitlin, Greg Doyle, 410 00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:28.880 Indie Star. Real quick, let me do this. You like you like 411 00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:32.279 that? I like that you're here. I like that you're here. I 412 00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:36.799 do that in my family after every game. So okay, well we'll start 413 00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:39.960 doing it to me and we'll get along just fine. So we've had him 414 00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:45.519 on the show before. He later profoundly apologized for his for his actions. 415 00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:49.559 Here we have we've had Greg Doyle, have we Kevin? Have we? 416 00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:55.200 I don't remember. Possibly. Yeah, he's been around for a long time. 417 00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:59.559 Yeah, yeah he has. But just a he lost and he understands, 418 00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:06.400 he said he and he in his text his apology was in my own 419 00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:09.639 oafish way, I really was out of line. I apologize. He knows 420 00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:15.719 it was a stupid well you know that leads too. He needs it more 421 00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:22.280 than anybody to the source, Freda, and this is a collaborative with myself 422 00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:25.960 and shoe Oshi.
