WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:03.839 Let's do it. Fred Rogan Rodney Peach on a five to seventy LA Sports 2 00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:07.839 one hour the Sprint on this Friday. Mm hmm, okay, time to 3 00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:11.199 celebrate great news. Want to start with something that will put a smile on 4 00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:17.000 your face. Dodgers will left Philadelphia. See things are already better. There's 5 00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:21.079 reason to celebrate. But it's the city of brotherly love. Fred, everything's 6 00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.280 supposed to beautiful in Philly. No love for the Dodgers. So you know 7 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:27.719 what, get out. That's what I say. If they're not showing you 8 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.079 the love and the city of brotherly love, just get the hell out. 9 00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:36.039 And they did. That's in your rear view mirror. Goodbye Philly, see 10 00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:40.600 the rocky steps. I don't need a cheese steak. We're gone. We're 11 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:46.039 gone, pretty simple, out of here. That's it. Uh So, 12 00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:50.119 Yeah, it didn't go well. Actually didn't went pretty poorly, to be 13 00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:53.960 honest with me. Yeah, And you know you can make the statement and 14 00:00:54.200 --> 00:01:00.159 you probably will that, uh well, those aren't the real Dodgers. There's 15 00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.640 a lot of guys hurt, and if they weren't hurt, we don't know. 16 00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:07.280 Let's just be honest, we don't know if they weren't hurt. Well, 17 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.959 it would have been different probably you'd had different guys playing, and you'll 18 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.519 hope with the different guys they would have looked better, but they didn't. 19 00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:19.959 And that's just the way it goes. And those are three games. Dave 20 00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:23.799 Roberts said it after the game. Hey, they're just better than us right 21 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:30.079 now. Thank you. That was a very honest assessment. Didn't sugarcoat it, 22 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.560 didn't candy code it. They're just better, Rodney. They're better than 23 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.640 us right now. Does that mean there'd be They're going to be better in 24 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.200 October though that doesn't necessarily mean that. You know, it means right now 25 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.519 they're playing better than the Dodgers are. And that's it's just very simple, 26 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:47.359 very simple. And if you don't like it, then stop watching sports. 27 00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:49.840 It's gonna be that way. And just because you pay a guy, which 28 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.599 is why always and you always see me frown fit and always get a snarl 29 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.959 when somebody says, well he's making three hundred million dollars a year. But 30 00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.519 it didn't work that way. It doesn't work that way. You're human. 31 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:06.519 Guys are human. They're gonna go through ebbs and flows and ups and downs 32 00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.120 and They've got good guys on that team. If you stack up the Phillies 33 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:15.879 roster and lineup against anybody in Major League Baseball, they're at the top. 34 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:20.479 They're at the at least in top three. When you put together guys that 35 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.479 can hit like schwarbur and you put Bryce Harper in there, and real mutual 36 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.840 didn't even play, you know, for them over the during the series. 37 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:35.520 They have a very very good lineup that could stack up against anyone, anyone. 38 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:37.919 Sure, you know, the Dodgers can throw out you know, o 39 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:39.400 Tani, they're not many better than him. He's the best. And then 40 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:44.080 Mookie comes back, he's one of the greatest Freddy too. But then you 41 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:49.080 start going down the whole lineup, player for player, Philly's pretty good. 42 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.680 Philly stack up with most teams, if not all the teams. So it's 43 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:59.560 not a stretch that the Phillies at basically full strength, because they got their 44 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:04.960 guys, at least most of them, would beat the Dodgers in a three 45 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.280 game series at this point in the season.

Absolutely no idea what will happen in October, by the way, 52 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:43.800 no idea if anybody will come back for the Dodgers by October. We 53 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.280 don't know. There's no crystal ball here. This is the way it plays 54 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:54.319 out. But the thing that you have to look at a they've been a 55 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:59.360 five hundred team, the Dodgers over the last two months. Okay, now 56 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:04.319 that's thing to go. That's not very good. Their starters have the fifth 57 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:12.639 worst ERA and the majors in that span. What does that tell you, 58 00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:17.639 really simple? The pictures are hurt, the guys that have been up haven't 59 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:23.079 been doing as well, and they don't win as many games. To me, 60 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:29.319 it's pretty simple there. You go. Guess what when all your pictures 61 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.360 are hurt, you got a problem. When you've got your guys that are 62 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:36.279 injured, you got a problem. When they're pictures because you only got so 63 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:42.000 many of them. And if you look at the Dodger staff, it's the 64 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.360 starting staff is kind of in shambles right now because so many people are hurt. 65 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.720 Do they plan on getting hurt? Of course not. Do they want 66 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:55.199 to be hurt? Not at all? Are they? Yes? So now 67 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.920 you have to figure out what to do. And there's your dilemma, pretty 68 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.439 cut and dried. I don't think it requires a great deal of an house's 69 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:09.240 they have no pictures right now, that's it. No, I mean they've 70 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.240 got to start the season. I mean, namely, there is there is 71 00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.800 there one that at the beginning of the season, right after spring training, 72 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:21.959 as we start the season, is there one picture that was signed up to 73 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:29.800 be part of the rotation? I mean, I'm trying to think is I 74 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.319 don't think Gavin Stone was kind of thrown in there, right, Yep, 75 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:39.240 he was kind of thrust into that role. But I don't think there's they're 76 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:45.680 not one when you think of Yamamoto, Glass, Now, Miller, Kirshaw 77 00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:50.160 Miller, Yeah, yeah, And they've had to do it, you know, 78 00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:56.920 by by committee and kind of makeshift it. So in essence, you 79 00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.839 could look at it like it's surprising the Dodgers are where they are, given 80 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.519 that they don't have one starting pitcher at this point in July twelve that they 81 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:12.240 penciled in to be a part of the rotation. Yeah, there's the problem. 82 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:17.000 I mean Dodger fan. So you know, I work a good period 83 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.639 of time. I'm in the Coachella Valley, you guys know that. And 84 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:25.240 sometimes I'm back in Burbank doing the show. And there's a guy here and 85 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.600 he lives and dies Dodgers. He's one of the sales guys and he lives 86 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.120 and he dies it. And for Father's Day, his wife took him to 87 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:35.079 Dodgers Stadium and that made his whole month. I mean, he is as 88 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:39.160 big a fan as you can imagine. And every morning he walks in to 89 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.480 see me, And if the Dodgers have won the night before, he is 90 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.399 thrilled, and if the Dodgers have lost, he is miserable. So he 91 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.040 came in this morning he goes, oh, man, what are we gonna 92 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.240 do? What are we gonna do? Now? What are we gonna do? 93 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:55.360 This is terrible. I'm a fan. I live it every day. 94 00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:59.319 I said, well, you know what, relax because right now they're not 95 00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:04.319 very good because they have no pitching. You cannot look at three games right 96 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:06.879 here and right now, we go, well, god, that's the end 97 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:13.480 of that. You can't In three weeks, things could change dramatically. You 98 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.120 know, the guys are in position, they're there, the roster is set, 99 00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:23.079 but you gotta find pitching. That's it. Nobody thought Yamamoto would get 100 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:28.519 hurt like this. Nobody cross your fingers. He can come back. Glasnow 101 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.879 gets his trip to the injured list before the All Star break. Bobby Miller's 102 00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:38.519 been sent down. Not the same guy since what he got hurt? He 103 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:45.160 got hurt, Kershaw. We don't know. We know this. Those rehab 104 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:49.160 assignments haven't been flawless. We know that. We know he's had some pain 105 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:55.000 as well. So now if you just start looking at the staff, you 106 00:07:55.160 --> 00:08:01.240 understand exactly what's going on. You know, you see there's no mystery blaming 107 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.480 Fred Who we blaming though, baseball guys? Who are we gonna blame the 108 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.600 guy's get hurt, Well, yeah, it's his fault. It is Dave 109 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.079 Roberts fault. He should he should get it right now. As a matter 110 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:15.120 of yes, Yes, guys get hurt now. What are you gonna do? 111 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.800 So that that's the question, what are you going to do concerning if 112 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.639 you really look at those numbers, this is accurate. A five hundred team 113 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.439 for the last two months, that's an issue, but I think it's pitching 114 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.120 related. You look at that as that's that could be looked at as a 115 00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:35.879 positive. Fred out in the world. Did they stay five hundred given all 116 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.679 the injuries? I mean when I you know, know this first time when 117 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.279 you're on a team and you have that kind of injury hits your the injury 118 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.679 bug that hits your team like that, you know, and you say, 119 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.159 God, we're not going to have our guys for the next you know, 120 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.879 in football is shorter, so for the next four games, we're not gonna 121 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.639 have our guys. You're hoping to go to and two with that, you're 122 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.080 hoping to go five hundred without your guys and weather the storm. And then 123 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.200 on the other side when we get our guys back then were making a run. 124 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.039 But man, you know, it's not time to uh to overreact. 125 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.960 To be one thing, if they had they did have their guys and they're 126 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.919 getting beat and getting swept and can't match up against good teams. Around the 127 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.279 league. Then you got really reason for concern. But at this point now 128 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.440 is you got to be realistic about where this team is right now. And 129 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.960 there's the issue. It's pretty simple, but that does get you to start 130 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.600 thinking, now, all right now, if we're gonna if we're gonna kind 131 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:33.919 of break it down a little bit, and everybody's a general manager now, 132 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.200 everybody gets to make a decision because it's just like fantasy baseball. You can 133 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.320 do whatever you want because that's how fans think. I got an idea, 134 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.759 why don't we send five guys, Garrett Cole. It's not gonna work that 135 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:48.879 way. That doesn't work. But one thing you do have to look at 136 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:54.159 now, and it's something the Dodgers have to consider and and the way they 137 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.720 react to this will tell you a lot about where their mindset is. They're 138 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.440 going to have to go get some pitching at the trade deadline that we now 139 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.919 know you're always looking for it. They're going to have to because you simply 140 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.120 don't know what's going to happen with your guys. So then it leads to 141 00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.480 this, and this is the thing Dodger fan should look for. Rodney, 142 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:20.639 I don't have the answer if they're all in this year. I believe they 143 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:26.320 are. Would they overpay for that pitching at the trade deadline? Would they 144 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.639 make that move? In other words, we're in really bad shape here. 145 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.120 We didn't expect any of this, so we're going to have to go out 146 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:41.200 and get real pitching. Do you think they'll overpay at the trade deadline? 147 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:48.879 No, I don't. I think that they can find a deal that's, 148 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:54.080 you know, somewhat reasonable or maybe even a little above reasonable. I think 149 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:58.480 they go for it. But if it means them really overpaying, uh, 150 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:05.639 I don't see that happening. I don't see it having for for a reason, 151 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.960 I don't think they I think they believe the guys. They're gonna get 152 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:13.440 their guys back. But also I don't know if there's a really a a 153 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.879 guy out there that they need to go over pay for that would be available. 154 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.200 There's some guys having pretty good years, right, There's some guys that 155 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:26.480 are that are out there. You hear their names all you know that they're 156 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:28.159 having a good season, and there's that's a guy that people are looking at. 157 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.279 But is there a Ferlander? Is there a Garrett Cole out there? 158 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.919 Is there a you know, a bona fide year and in year out, 159 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.279 big time picture out there that they can go get and overpay for. You 160 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.600 tell me who that is not sure? Who it could be? Well, 161 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.679 we know the name Crochet has been mentioned, but do you put him in 162 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.679 the classes? You know, I've heard him in the classes right now. 163 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:58.320 He's probably the best guy available and has a promising future and is club controlled. 164 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.720 To get him, you're gonna have to overpay because you're getting to that 165 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.039 point now if everybody does not come back, and when they come back and 166 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:13.080 look at Bobby Miller, look at Walker Bueller, they were not effective. 167 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:18.039 Yeah, track record doesn't sound good because the two guys that we were expecting 168 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.879 at some point to really count on this year have come back and not been 169 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.120 have not found their form yet, you know, not saying that they can't, 170 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.399 but they haven't found their form yet. In fact, it's been it's 171 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:33.320 been very it's been disappointing for both Walker Bueller and Bobby Miller. You know, 172 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.559 one had to leave and go to Florida to try to get fixed and 173 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.600 the other one had got sent down, so you know, it's not what 174 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:46.320 they expected. Can they turn it around? Absolutely? Will they? That 175 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.759 remains to be seen, but it's definitely something that I think threw a wrench 176 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.080 into their plans and the Dodgers not we're not counting on I think you got 177 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.759 to go for it. Whatever the definition is of you might have to give 178 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.399 up a little more than you hoped. I think you probably have to do 179 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.000 that this year. And I also think that goes against the mantra of the 180 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:13.240 Dodgers and you're building for sustained success. You can't give everything up now for 181 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:18.159 right now. You can't mortgage the future. But in this situation, with 182 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.720 the expectation placed on this team, yeah, I think you got it and 183 00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:26.240 then got to do it. You gotta do It's it's a tough situation. 184 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:33.320 It's you know, it's even more tough tougher on on Dave Roberts because now 185 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.759 you know all the pressure and this was inworthy and outwardly, all the pressure 186 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.159 was on Dave Robinson. Now you've got everything right, that was a talk 187 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:45.159 in the offseason. Now you've got everything, got to go win it. 188 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:48.639 It is winter bust this year, right? Does that mean winter bust? 189 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.759 If I'm healthy? What does that mean? Winter bust? No matter what, 190 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:56.960 AND's just say the Dodgers don't necessarily go for it, right, I 191 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.559 mean, can you put it on Dave Roberts as them not necessarily win in 192 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.399 the World Series if they don't get these guys back from hell or they don't 193 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:11.480 get the guys back to their form again. I mean, people will try 194 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.679 and will do, but internally, do you put it on him? Well, 195 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.759 I mean, if if you're if you're honest, if you don't go 196 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.320 for it's like if you don't go get Cruchet and just have to give up 197 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:24.399 a lot of stuff, you say, we're not gonna go for it, 198 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:28.679 We're gonna count on our guys coming back. Well, it comes down to 199 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.600 this, did your guys come back, and if they came back, were 200 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:37.840 they where they needed to be? Bobby Miller and Walker Bueller come back and 201 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:41.480 uh from no hitters and Yammoto joins them, and every time somebody pitches, 202 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:48.360 they give up one hit. If that happened and then the Dodgers didn't hit 203 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.440 and Mookie came back out, people might point it, Dave Roberts, what's 204 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:58.120 the reality of that happening? What's the reality of that Nothing, It's zero, 205 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.840 It's not going to happen. Okay, So Now, if you want 206 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.799 to blame Dave Roberts, what do you want him to do, because I 207 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.679 guess he could try to pitch, but that would probably be worse than sending 208 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:16.080 Bobby Miller out there. So what is it you want him to do if 209 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:20.399 you don't have the horses? Well, you go to the Kentucky Jersey and 210 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:24.639 they break from the gate and there are twelve horses and a jockey running, 211 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.240 not on a horse. What do you expect Is the jockey going to win 212 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:35.000 just running behind the horses? Of course not. There's no horse. So 213 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.919 if he doesn't have horses, what would you like him to do about it? 214 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.159 There's nothing he can do. And if you want to point a finger 215 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:48.200 at him, that's fine, but there's nothing he can do, and frankly, 216 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.559 nobody could do. It's nothing anyone could do. I mean, who 217 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.639 can survive in that situation? You know. But we know how this goes, 218 00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:00.679 and we know how the pressure was put on him for the season. 219 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:04.639 He even said it, you know, and you know if they don't get 220 00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:11.639 healthy again, no manager in baseball could could win under the circumstances. The 221 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.759 fact that there there's still a five hundred club during this stretch to me, 222 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:21.240 with the injuries that they've had, that's a pretty good feat fit for them 223 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:25.440 to stay in first place. Yeah, and they will be in first place 224 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:30.840 at the All Star break. Hopefully the Tigers will provide the cure to what 225 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:36.000 ails them. Hopefully I'll get the Tigers and then it'll be fine again. 226 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:40.120 It'll it'll all be fine, all yeah. All. It's kind of like 227 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:44.080 Colorado, Fred when you go to Colorado to kind of get that medicine at 228 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:47.960 that good medicine. Yeah, you know, you know, some would say, 229 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:49.679 you know, Detroit's got that in the air as well, a little 230 00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:55.320 motown medicine. Yeah, little motown medicine, babytown medicine. That get right 231 00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:59.600 medicine. That's it, get right. Aren't you upset? You were there 232 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:03.240 when car Chop House was there, right, Yes, across from Tiger Stadium. 233 00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:07.839 Yes, absolutely. Carl's was the best, and it was the best 234 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:11.839 fanic, old school. It was great seafood steak yeah yeah. And when 235 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.359 I was a kid growing up, it was like the fancy restaurant because you 236 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.519 went in and you saw the lobsters and you go, I'll take that, 237 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:22.240 right, yeah, slimming in the tank, yeah right, right, when 238 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.440 you walk in. Uh huh. I think it's sad that place closed. 239 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:29.799 I just wanted to say that. Every time I think of Detroit, I 240 00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.599 think are Carls and Killarney Castle, which you would either take the bridge or 241 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:38.279 the tunnel to in Windsor. Mm hmm. Killarney Castle. Yeah, passed 242 00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:41.839 it many a times. Right, My parents would take me there all the 243 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:47.519 times. Schmorgasboard, go in there and get your food and Windsor it was 244 00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:52.559 fun. Oh the days, Freddie the days and the Babblo boat. Some 245 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.440 went to Windsor for other reasons, Fred. But I've heard that that's for 246 00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:59.559 another show. Yeah, yeah, I heard that. Yeah, I heard 247 00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:03.799 those stories about Windsor. But I was only a kid, right right when 248 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.319 you were playing for the lines. You ever go to Belle Isle? Oh 249 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:10.319 yeah, Belle Ou. Yeah, that was a you know, if you 250 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.400 didn't know what to do, you're like trying to figure out on the weekend, 251 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.799 and especially in the summer, Hey, let's go to bell Aule. 252 00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.200 There's always something going on in bell Aisle belle Ou, bell A. Let's 253 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:23.559 just go to bell Out. There's always music and parties.

Yeah, 255 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:30.880 and then it got to a point where Belle I was not under go 256 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:37.279 to bell Isle anymore. Yeah, well you know that happens a little bit. 257 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.119 And did you ever take the Bablo boat? I did not. I 258 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.559 did not, No, never, I never did that. I never did 259 00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.039 that. When I saw Steve Balmer, you know he's from Detroit, uh 260 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:52.440 huh, I said, Okay, are you really from Detroit? You know, 261 00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.200 are you seriously from Detroit? Because I'm from Detroit. You ever take 262 00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.680 the Bablo boat? What did he say? Oh? He took the boat? 263 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.240 Oh yeah he did. Looking a boblo Island. It was an amusement 264 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:07.079 part boblo Island.

See it already looks better for the Dodgers. Like, 267 00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.599 how much fun you're gonna have in Detroit? Uh huh. There you 268 00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.119 go.

Okay, 289 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.799 the way you watch NBA basketball may change, might change, and it's 290 00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:22.119 sad not over yet but pretty close. And we'll get into that. Yeah, 291 00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:26.000 you know it played the song Ronnie. That's it. Because it is 292 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:32.200 Friday. Even though we are on a sprint, we absolutely positively we don't 293 00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:41.880 get Let's go, Freddy them on now, Old Freddy, hit your button, 294 00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.400 Freddy, Now you gotta push fred Let's go. All right, all 295 00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:51.440 right, all right, my way. So the NBA is that its final 296 00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:56.240 year of its current rights deal and then it will revert. The deal is 297 00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:00.319 up. The league will be paid seven point six billion dollars by media companies. 298 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:06.119 So when you sit here and go these are not TV shows, you're 299 00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:11.480 wrong. They are. They're television shows and they're paid a rights fee for 300 00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:17.160 those shows. That's why everything is geared toward TV. Sometimes games started out. 301 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:22.160 Times you're upset about that, you don't like certain scheduling decisions you're upset 302 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:26.000 about that. No one really cares what you're upset about because there's the money 303 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:32.359 and that's just the bottom line. So it's a valuable property. And it's 304 00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:37.960 funny about the NBA because sometimes it's up and sometimes it's down, but you 305 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.599 have a lot of inventory. When you have inventory and it's live, it 306 00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.920 makes it very valuable. So the NBA has this giant rights deal. You 307 00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:52.680 know who's controlled the rights recently for years, it's Turner or Warner Brothers Media, 308 00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:57.640 which is TNT and TBS and ESPN ABC. Prior to that, it 309 00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:02.839 was on NBC. It was sad when we lost that, but NBC looked 310 00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:04.240 at it and said, we cannot afford to pay that kind of rights fee 311 00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:08.559 because we won't make the money back. Well, things have changed since the 312 00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:18.279 Proud Peacock gave up the NBA and they're back in the game. Peacock is 313 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:26.559 one of the companies NBC that will have the NBA following next season. ESPN 314 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:30.880 ABC is the other, and the third which everybody was talking about, is 315 00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:37.680 Amazon. Now the NBA games on NBC, some will be on Channel four 316 00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:41.799 NBC, A lot of them will be on Peacock. The streaming service. 317 00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:48.640 Amazon is all streaming service, and we know what ABC and ESPN are. 318 00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:56.000 So here's the deal. It's really sad for Turner to lose the NBA. 319 00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:02.640 And the reason it's sad is because, for my money and no disrespect anybody, 320 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.599 they really do the best job. We know. The pregame show, 321 00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:11.680 postgame show, halftime show is the best in the business. There's that. 322 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.640 Also in their game coverage is better. I just think they're better than ESPN. 323 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:21.880 I think ESPN wants to be what Turner is but can't be that. 324 00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:26.480 So the caveat in all of this, according to the guy that runs Warner 325 00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:36.559 Brothers Discovery Media, the owners of Turner TNT TBS, they have the right 326 00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:41.839 to match one of the packages because they are the existing rights holder and there 327 00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:47.960 is some sort of predetermined amount of time once they are presented here are the 328 00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:52.680 offers, they have the opportunity to match, and if they match, then 329 00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:57.160 they will have that package. And it seems like the package they're going to 330 00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:02.079 try to match if they can. And it all comes down to money is 331 00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:08.079 Amazon. Now. Amazon quite frankly has more money than Turner and what are 332 00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:15.240 Brothers Discovery because Amazon is not just dependent on media. Amazon is Amazon, 333 00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.359 and media is a part of it. Where if you're looking at a traditional 334 00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:26.839 broadcast or television company, that's all you got and that's hemorrhaging viewers. So 335 00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:32.960 that's where we're at. Going forward, it'll be ABC, NBC and either 336 00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:37.559 TNT somehow, some way will retain a part of it, or it goes 337 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.880 to Amazon. Rodney, what do you think of all that? And what 338 00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:45.759 do you think when they have the right to match it? Do you think 339 00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:52.240 Turner will match? I mean, you said that they don't have the money 340 00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:57.039 that an Amazon does because Amazon is a bohemoth obviously with Bezos and what they've 341 00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:02.880 done with Amazon is incredible, but they got more money than probably all of 342 00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:07.839 them. Do you see T and T matching? Feels like they're not going 343 00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:10.960 to match it. I mean, and that deal is he said seven point 344 00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:14.319 say, but it's seventy six billion, which is out out of control. 345 00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:22.319 It's unbelievable seventy six billion dollar deal the NBA signed. It seems to me 346 00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:29.680 that of this deal, I think ESPN isn't about it. Two point six 347 00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:36.839 billion NB per season, NBC is at about two point five billion per season, 348 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:44.759 and Amazon, I believe is it about one point eight billion per season. 349 00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:48.480 Now keep this in mind. Currently Turner is spending one point four billion, 350 00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:56.319 so it's four hundred million more. And if you're Amazon, you know 351 00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:00.720 you're you're driving people to your streaming service. Man, you know what, 352 00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:04.279 So maybe we don't make that back. We're fine. We got no problems 353 00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:08.559 here. We're good. I don't know if if Warner Brothers Discovering, the 354 00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:14.839 owner of Turner has that it's four hundred million dollars, Rodney, It comes 355 00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:18.440 down to this, do I think they'll match? How much? Oh? 356 00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:21.359 And in one other thing, there was a period of time where the president 357 00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:26.680 of uh Turner or Warner Brothers, David Zaslov, basically said they could live 358 00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.400 or die without the NBA made no difference. They were that good. Right, 359 00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.559 Yeah, he made that statement. Kind of flip wants to walk that 360 00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:38.359 back. Yeah, right, just walk that back. Four hundred million dollars. 361 00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:42.839 Is it a lot of money or isn't it. If it's not a 362 00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:48.519 lot of money, Turner matches. If it is a lot of money, 363 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:55.039 they don't. And that's how I look at it. I'm confused. So 364 00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:56.359 they put a lot of money, they match it. If it's not a 365 00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.720 lot of money. They don't. This is what I mean to them, 366 00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.200 like to them like and they look at their pockets and go, oh, 367 00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.079 that's just jump change. Then I match it. Then they match. I 368 00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:10.799 mean, does Warner Brothers, Discovery, the owner of Turner just go four 369 00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:15.839 hundred million dollars? That means nothing does will match? We're good? Or 370 00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:18.720 do they turn around and say, man, we can't do that. That's 371 00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:22.799 financial suicide. We can't make a decision like that, it's irresponsible. Then 372 00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:27.960 they won't. That's really what it comes down to. Yeah, yeah, 373 00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:37.039 it's it's to me the way and this is across the board the way sports 374 00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:41.720 are going. And you're seeing, you know, from player salaries to teams 375 00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:47.519 valuations to everything about sports. We're just watching you know, COPA and YUIFA 376 00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:52.039 and soccer and it been global around the world, and the coverage is that 377 00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:53.640 it's getting I'm sure, I mean just on the service. To me, 378 00:28:53.720 --> 00:29:00.319 it looks like it has done extremely well. I'm not a I don't watch 379 00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:06.119 soccer on a regular basis, but I found myself glued to it. So 380 00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:11.160 the future, when you look at the landscape and sports being the last real 381 00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.279 live broadcast of any type of show. I think you got to stay in 382 00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.400 that business. Red, I think you got to be in that business. 383 00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:23.839 And it would be a shame for Warner and TNT to lose, which was, 384 00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.160 you know, perceived by most people of having the best pregame postgame show 385 00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:37.799 on of all sports on any network, and to lose that would be an 386 00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:41.480 absolute shame because once you lose it, you don't get it again. Right, 387 00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:45.000 that's the problem. You're to point out how important sports are. So 388 00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:52.240 the CW, which televised is acc football. The CW has just included and 389 00:29:52.279 --> 00:30:00.599 done a special deal with the PAC twelve the two schools two two schools there 390 00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:06.640 gets a TV deal now too, because the CW, which nobody watches, 391 00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:15.160 knows that at least somebody will watch if they have live sports, right right, 392 00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:17.799 So I mean, if you look at it that way and say this 393 00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:19.839 is where we're gonna be ten years from now, you better be involved. 394 00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:26.559 You better stay involved. It's gonna be interesting. Good luck to Turner. 395 00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:30.599 It'd be sad if they lose that Dodgers in Detroit taking on the Tigers first 396 00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:33.440 pitch today three forty Listen to every play of every Dodger game on a M 397 00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:37.799 five seventy LA and stream all games in HD on the iHeartRadio app. The 398 00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.720 keyword is A five seventy LA sports.

When you lived in Detroit for it? Did they 408 00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:51.240 call you Doctor Detroit? Dan Aykroyd, what a great film? Under under 409 00:31:52.240 --> 00:32:00.680 underrated film? Did Doctor Detroit? Yes? Yes, the door is in. 410 00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:09.599 Big Mama was a gangster and he quarterbacked the Alliance, and he handed 411 00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:15.359 AWF a lot to Barry Sanders, who rode Pete B. Sanders was the 412 00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:20.480 best all no doubt in the world. B D B. What was that 413 00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:32.000 I like that. You're good. Yeah, his young son Oliver has the 414 00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:36.279 heart of a lion. I never figures. Come on now, I use 415 00:32:36.359 --> 00:32:38.240 Barry Sanders on Madden back in the day with Ridney Peters the quarterback. Does 416 00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:44.279 that count for something? Boom boom boom only if you used him in Techmobile. 417 00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:47.960 I use our friend Christian Nakoya and tech Moobil because nobody can attack. 418 00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:54.680 He ran over everybody, everybody. The Nigerian Nightmare, y'all. Yeah, 419 00:32:55.079 --> 00:33:04.599 yeah, from the e boat tribe. If they get kings of beasts, 420 00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:09.079 he's a king of beats. Run in Fassio calling for the bamboo garden in 421 00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:20.839 Whittier. It's king flavor. Yeah. Okay. The sweep in South Philly 422 00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:29.039 is done. It's over. It was ugly, it was brutal, and 423 00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:31.359 you guys touched the part of As Dave Roberts said, Phillies right now, 424 00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:37.960 they're a better cold ball club on July July whatever this is, eight nine, 425 00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:46.880 ten eleven, the Phillis were a better club. But Souls in the 426 00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:54.359 wound, all the big blows, it seemed, have local roots for the 427 00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:59.039 Phillies of Trey Turner. I mean, how many big hits did Trey Turney 428 00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:01.519 get during this during the series. I don't know if you consider him though 429 00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:08.280 a local guy. Well it was a Dodger, Yeah, but that's about 430 00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:15.280 angel Brandon Marsh. How about Brandon Marsh. A lot of big hits for 431 00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:25.400 Marsh. I mean, I love I love Marsh's beard. But enough already 432 00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:31.760 sure that that was the key. Listen, the Phillies played well, the 433 00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:36.639 Dodgers didn't. It's it's pretty basic. It's a it's a it's a long, 434 00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:44.320 freaky baseball season. And the Dodger's pitching staff is and chapters. As 435 00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:52.960 Jago would say, it's shotted. You're missing MOOKI, you're missing Muncie. 436 00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:58.760 I say, just let it go and we're on to the d But get 437 00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:02.800 this, a Dodger takes another uh hot club in Detroit. They've won six 438 00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:07.760 of seven. They just want a serious from the first place Cleveland Guardians. 439 00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:15.239 So you know Detroit is gonna it's gonna be tough. I'll take two out 440 00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:19.159 of three right now, and I believe the Dodgers will take two out of 441 00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:24.840 three. For the Tigers calling it there, it is absolutely I got some 442 00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:31.159 sunshine from the Philadelphia series. Another scoreless outing from my man, Alex Vessia 443 00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:39.559 is e O A has dropped to one point three one. He got his 444 00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:50.880 two phillies out. I'm telling you he gets his n our chaser along with 445 00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:57.559 his two red Bullsey's good to go. Well that's later today. Quite the 446 00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:02.199 regiment there, Vic, that's what Vessia does. He guess you see him 447 00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:07.239 on the mound. He's got a lot of great energy. He's so focused 448 00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:14.719 and he's pitching great. James paxon the big maple will get the ball later, 449 00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:20.920 and I believe he is the only Dodger on the original rotation still in 450 00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:24.519 there healthy along with you g Stone, of course, but you've got to 451 00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:29.920 give you gotta give some love to Pason. He's at least he's pitching. 452 00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:36.360 He's healthy, and he's going tonight. Yes, Morongo Casino Dodgers on that 453 00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:42.239 two thirty with in case first pitch from the D three right here, M 454 00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:50.000 five seven the l A Sports. Meanwhile, the Angels last night's starter had 455 00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:55.280 a very cool name, Khanowitz. He got Kahanowitz by the Mariners. M 456 00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:05.920 Witz Okay, I got it is the Pirates. Paul Schimes the best pitcher 457 00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:09.880 in baseball. I think he is he's got the starting nots for the All 458 00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:21.119 Star Game. Yeah, at a Lake Forest El Toro High School, seven 459 00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:27.960 no hit endings against Milwaukee, struck out eleven walk one schemes is of the 460 00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:35.079 umb unbelievable. What a great story. Yeah, he can pitch. Pick 461 00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:39.880 he's going to start for the National League. A little betty can pitch. 462 00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:50.719 His era is one point nine to zero. Yeah, he's six and oh 463 00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:58.480 through his first eleven games in the Mages. It's pretty amazing story schemes he 464 00:37:58.559 --> 00:38:12.039 can pitch.

He can 488 00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:13.519 play. Yeah, led the league in scoring for you know for a reason. 489 00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:15.320 This past season. I know he struggled with his first outing, but 490 00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:17.639 looked a lot better than the last one. He's going to continue to improve. 491 00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:21.559 He's a rookie that I think can actually help them this year. I 492 00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:25.159 agree with you, Kevin, a good call on connect. You did it 493 00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:32.599 a couple of Listen your first two games in any uproll league, it's going 494 00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:35.880 to be tough. He was five for twenty five. His first couple of 495 00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:38.239 games was connected, but then he had a very nice game. His last 496 00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:45.559 game scored twenty nine boards. He can right, he can connect and play. 497 00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:51.400 But all eyes will be of course on Brownie once again as they hit 498 00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:58.159 Vegas and listen, he's he's averaging one like twenty nine minutes a game. 499 00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:06.480 I'm just happy. Some reps and he's gonna he's gonna be a positive influence, 500 00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:08.800 you know, you know, get some time in the summer league. 501 00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:15.320 It's all about repetitions. Well, I mean, I understand what you're saying, 502 00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:20.440 big, but let's let's just let's just see what happens. I mean, 503 00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:23.880 it's gonna take a while here. Just let him settle it and play 504 00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:29.519 and then we'll know. And you may not even have a clue about how 505 00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:32.679 good or not he will be after one year. It's gonna take some time. 506 00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:40.920 I'm writing. I'm just writing a crest. It's a great story. 507 00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:45.079 It's a great story for the James family, but more importantly, it's a 508 00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:50.320 great story for Briannie James, and we'll we'll be tracking him as he is. 509 00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:54.800 His next step in the journey is Las Vegas Summer League and it should 510 00:41:54.840 --> 00:41:59.039 be fun and clear. Was a play in their first Summer League game tonight. 511 00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:00.719 By the way, a lot of people want to know that. All 512 00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:08.960 right, Vic, let's go to the spread. Yeah, let's go make 513 00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:19.440 sure you get that Clippers Summer League game mentioned in there. I've got some 514 00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:27.079 summer verse by the Japanese Haiku Titan Bussan. It was yesterday's Haiku hold on, 515 00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:31.119 Stop stop? Was yesterday's haiku weird? Or was it the day before? 516 00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:35.199 I can't remember. I think he was in your mind, Fred, 517 00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:39.039 No, it was not. It was yesterday, Ronnie, I believe it 518 00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:44.239 was yesterday. Yeah. It was about about the wood techo in the summer 519 00:42:44.320 --> 00:42:47.519 hut. That's the one. Oh yeah, a little off thick. It 520 00:42:47.639 --> 00:42:52.880 was so hot that the wood techer didn't even want to pick in the summer 521 00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:58.000 hut. That's how hot it was. I don't think that's how it was 522 00:42:57.199 --> 00:43:06.360 that that was a show haiku Fred This is of course, now this is 523 00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:10.480 Busan, of course a devote of basho, but still the upper echelon of 524 00:43:10.519 --> 00:43:20.440 haiku masses Busson. He declared that in haiku one must talk poetry, okay 525 00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:22.639 and Busson also known for his fabulous painting. He was an amazing painter, 526 00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:32.920 just a multi skilled running around in Japan hundreds of years ago. I love 527 00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:36.760 this highku.
