Let's do it. Fred Rogan Rodney Peach on a five to seventy LA Sports
one hour the Sprint on this Friday. Mm hmm, okay, time to
celebrate great news. Want to start with something that will put a smile on
your face. Dodgers will left Philadelphia. See things are already better. There's
reason to celebrate. But it's the city of brotherly love. Fred, everything's
supposed to beautiful in Philly. No love for the Dodgers. So you know
what, get out. That's what I say. If they're not showing you
the love and the city of brotherly love, just get the hell out.
And they did. That's in your rear view mirror. Goodbye Philly, see
the rocky steps. I don't need a cheese steak. We're gone. We're
gone, pretty simple, out of here. That's it. Uh So,
Yeah, it didn't go well. Actually didn't went pretty poorly, to be
honest with me. Yeah, And you know you can make the statement and
you probably will that, uh well, those aren't the real Dodgers. There's
a lot of guys hurt, and if they weren't hurt, we don't know.
Let's just be honest, we don't know if they weren't hurt. Well,
it would have been different probably you'd had different guys playing, and you'll
hope with the different guys they would have looked better, but they didn't.
And that's just the way it goes. And those are three games. Dave
Roberts said it after the game. Hey, they're just better than us right
now. Thank you. That was a very honest assessment. Didn't sugarcoat it,
didn't candy code it. They're just better, Rodney. They're better than
us right now. Does that mean there'd be They're going to be better in
October though that doesn't necessarily mean that. You know, it means right now
they're playing better than the Dodgers are. And that's it's just very simple,
very simple. And if you don't like it, then stop watching sports.
It's gonna be that way. And just because you pay a guy, which
is why always and you always see me frown fit and always get a snarl
when somebody says, well he's making three hundred million dollars a year. But
it didn't work that way. It doesn't work that way. You're human.
Guys are human. They're gonna go through ebbs and flows and ups and downs
and They've got good guys on that team. If you stack up the Phillies
roster and lineup against anybody in Major League Baseball, they're at the top.
They're at the at least in top three. When you put together guys that
can hit like schwarbur and you put Bryce Harper in there, and real mutual
didn't even play, you know, for them over the during the series.
They have a very very good lineup that could stack up against anyone, anyone.
Sure, you know, the Dodgers can throw out you know, o
Tani, they're not many better than him. He's the best. And then
Mookie comes back, he's one of the greatest Freddy too. But then you
start going down the whole lineup, player for player, Philly's pretty good.
Philly stack up with most teams, if not all the teams. So it's
not a stretch that the Phillies at basically full strength, because they got their
guys, at least most of them, would beat the Dodgers in a three
game series at this point in the season. Rodnie roll is open, Come

right now. Absolutely no idea what will happen in October, by the way,
no idea if anybody will come back for the Dodgers by October. We
don't know. There's no crystal ball here. This is the way it plays
out. But the thing that you have to look at a they've been a
five hundred team, the Dodgers over the last two months. Okay, now
that's thing to go. That's not very good. Their starters have the fifth
worst ERA and the majors in that span. What does that tell you,
really simple? The pictures are hurt, the guys that have been up haven't
been doing as well, and they don't win as many games. To me,
it's pretty simple there. You go. Guess what when all your pictures
are hurt, you got a problem. When you've got your guys that are
injured, you got a problem. When they're pictures because you only got so
many of them. And if you look at the Dodger staff, it's the
starting staff is kind of in shambles right now because so many people are hurt.
Do they plan on getting hurt? Of course not. Do they want
to be hurt? Not at all? Are they? Yes? So now
you have to figure out what to do. And there's your dilemma, pretty
cut and dried. I don't think it requires a great deal of an house's
they have no pictures right now, that's it. No, I mean they've
got to start the season. I mean, namely, there is there is
there one that at the beginning of the season, right after spring training,
as we start the season, is there one picture that was signed up to
be part of the rotation? I mean, I'm trying to think is I
don't think Gavin Stone was kind of thrown in there, right, Yep,
he was kind of thrust into that role. But I don't think there's they're
not one when you think of Yamamoto, Glass, Now, Miller, Kirshaw
Miller, Yeah, yeah, And they've had to do it, you know,
by by committee and kind of makeshift it. So in essence, you
could look at it like it's surprising the Dodgers are where they are, given
that they don't have one starting pitcher at this point in July twelve that they
penciled in to be a part of the rotation. Yeah, there's the problem.
I mean Dodger fan. So you know, I work a good period
of time. I'm in the Coachella Valley, you guys know that. And
sometimes I'm back in Burbank doing the show. And there's a guy here and
he lives and dies Dodgers. He's one of the sales guys and he lives
and he dies it. And for Father's Day, his wife took him to
Dodgers Stadium and that made his whole month. I mean, he is as
big a fan as you can imagine. And every morning he walks in to
see me, And if the Dodgers have won the night before, he is
thrilled, and if the Dodgers have lost, he is miserable. So he
came in this morning he goes, oh, man, what are we gonna
do? What are we gonna do? Now? What are we gonna do?
This is terrible. I'm a fan. I live it every day.
I said, well, you know what, relax because right now they're not
very good because they have no pitching. You cannot look at three games right
here and right now, we go, well, god, that's the end
of that. You can't In three weeks, things could change dramatically. You
know, the guys are in position, they're there, the roster is set,
but you gotta find pitching. That's it. Nobody thought Yamamoto would get
hurt like this. Nobody cross your fingers. He can come back. Glasnow
gets his trip to the injured list before the All Star break. Bobby Miller's
been sent down. Not the same guy since what he got hurt? He
got hurt, Kershaw. We don't know. We know this. Those rehab
assignments haven't been flawless. We know that. We know he's had some pain
as well. So now if you just start looking at the staff, you
understand exactly what's going on. You know, you see there's no mystery blaming
Fred Who we blaming though, baseball guys? Who are we gonna blame the
guy's get hurt, Well, yeah, it's his fault. It is Dave
Roberts fault. He should he should get it right now. As a matter
of yes, Yes, guys get hurt now. What are you gonna do?
So that that's the question, what are you going to do concerning if
you really look at those numbers, this is accurate. A five hundred team
for the last two months, that's an issue, but I think it's pitching
related. You look at that as that's that could be looked at as a
positive. Fred out in the world. Did they stay five hundred given all
the injuries? I mean when I you know, know this first time when
you're on a team and you have that kind of injury hits your the injury
bug that hits your team like that, you know, and you say,
God, we're not going to have our guys for the next you know,
in football is shorter, so for the next four games, we're not gonna
have our guys. You're hoping to go to and two with that, you're
hoping to go five hundred without your guys and weather the storm. And then
on the other side when we get our guys back then were making a run.
But man, you know, it's not time to uh to overreact.
To be one thing, if they had they did have their guys and they're
getting beat and getting swept and can't match up against good teams. Around the
league. Then you got really reason for concern. But at this point now
is you got to be realistic about where this team is right now. And
there's the issue. It's pretty simple, but that does get you to start
thinking, now, all right now, if we're gonna if we're gonna kind
of break it down a little bit, and everybody's a general manager now,
everybody gets to make a decision because it's just like fantasy baseball. You can
do whatever you want because that's how fans think. I got an idea,
why don't we send five guys, Garrett Cole. It's not gonna work that
way. That doesn't work. But one thing you do have to look at
now, and it's something the Dodgers have to consider and and the way they
react to this will tell you a lot about where their mindset is. They're
going to have to go get some pitching at the trade deadline that we now
know you're always looking for it. They're going to have to because you simply
don't know what's going to happen with your guys. So then it leads to
this, and this is the thing Dodger fan should look for. Rodney,
I don't have the answer if they're all in this year. I believe they
are. Would they overpay for that pitching at the trade deadline? Would they
make that move? In other words, we're in really bad shape here.
We didn't expect any of this, so we're going to have to go out
and get real pitching. Do you think they'll overpay at the trade deadline?
No, I don't. I think that they can find a deal that's,
you know, somewhat reasonable or maybe even a little above reasonable. I think
they go for it. But if it means them really overpaying, uh,
I don't see that happening. I don't see it having for for a reason,
I don't think they I think they believe the guys. They're gonna get
their guys back. But also I don't know if there's a really a a
guy out there that they need to go over pay for that would be available.
There's some guys having pretty good years, right, There's some guys that
are that are out there. You hear their names all you know that they're
having a good season, and there's that's a guy that people are looking at.
But is there a Ferlander? Is there a Garrett Cole out there?
Is there a you know, a bona fide year and in year out,
big time picture out there that they can go get and overpay for. You
tell me who that is not sure? Who it could be? Well,
we know the name Crochet has been mentioned, but do you put him in
the classes? You know, I've heard him in the classes right now.
He's probably the best guy available and has a promising future and is club controlled.
To get him, you're gonna have to overpay because you're getting to that
point now if everybody does not come back, and when they come back and
look at Bobby Miller, look at Walker Bueller, they were not effective.
Yeah, track record doesn't sound good because the two guys that we were expecting
at some point to really count on this year have come back and not been
have not found their form yet, you know, not saying that they can't,
but they haven't found their form yet. In fact, it's been it's
been very it's been disappointing for both Walker Bueller and Bobby Miller. You know,
one had to leave and go to Florida to try to get fixed and
the other one had got sent down, so you know, it's not what
they expected. Can they turn it around? Absolutely? Will they? That
remains to be seen, but it's definitely something that I think threw a wrench
into their plans and the Dodgers not we're not counting on I think you got
to go for it. Whatever the definition is of you might have to give
up a little more than you hoped. I think you probably have to do
that this year. And I also think that goes against the mantra of the
Dodgers and you're building for sustained success. You can't give everything up now for
right now. You can't mortgage the future. But in this situation, with
the expectation placed on this team, yeah, I think you got it and
then got to do it. You gotta do It's it's a tough situation.
It's you know, it's even more tough tougher on on Dave Roberts because now
you know all the pressure and this was inworthy and outwardly, all the pressure
was on Dave Robinson. Now you've got everything right, that was a talk
in the offseason. Now you've got everything, got to go win it.
It is winter bust this year, right? Does that mean winter bust?
If I'm healthy? What does that mean? Winter bust? No matter what,
AND's just say the Dodgers don't necessarily go for it, right, I
mean, can you put it on Dave Roberts as them not necessarily win in
the World Series if they don't get these guys back from hell or they don't
get the guys back to their form again. I mean, people will try
and will do, but internally, do you put it on him? Well,
I mean, if if you're if you're honest, if you don't go
for it's like if you don't go get Cruchet and just have to give up
a lot of stuff, you say, we're not gonna go for it,
We're gonna count on our guys coming back. Well, it comes down to
this, did your guys come back, and if they came back, were
they where they needed to be? Bobby Miller and Walker Bueller come back and
uh from no hitters and Yammoto joins them, and every time somebody pitches,
they give up one hit. If that happened and then the Dodgers didn't hit
and Mookie came back out, people might point it, Dave Roberts, what's
the reality of that happening? What's the reality of that Nothing, It's zero,
It's not going to happen. Okay, So Now, if you want
to blame Dave Roberts, what do you want him to do, because I
guess he could try to pitch, but that would probably be worse than sending
Bobby Miller out there. So what is it you want him to do if
you don't have the horses? Well, you go to the Kentucky Jersey and
they break from the gate and there are twelve horses and a jockey running,
not on a horse. What do you expect Is the jockey going to win
just running behind the horses? Of course not. There's no horse. So
if he doesn't have horses, what would you like him to do about it?
There's nothing he can do. And if you want to point a finger
at him, that's fine, but there's nothing he can do, and frankly,
nobody could do. It's nothing anyone could do. I mean, who
can survive in that situation? You know. But we know how this goes,
and we know how the pressure was put on him for the season.
He even said it, you know, and you know if they don't get
healthy again, no manager in baseball could could win under the circumstances. The
fact that there there's still a five hundred club during this stretch to me,
with the injuries that they've had, that's a pretty good feat fit for them
to stay in first place. Yeah, and they will be in first place
at the All Star break. Hopefully the Tigers will provide the cure to what
ails them. Hopefully I'll get the Tigers and then it'll be fine again.
It'll it'll all be fine, all yeah. All. It's kind of like
Colorado, Fred when you go to Colorado to kind of get that medicine at
that good medicine. Yeah, you know, you know, some would say,
you know, Detroit's got that in the air as well, a little
motown medicine. Yeah, little motown medicine, babytown medicine. That get right
medicine. That's it, get right. Aren't you upset? You were there
when car Chop House was there, right, Yes, across from Tiger Stadium.
Yes, absolutely. Carl's was the best, and it was the best
fanic, old school. It was great seafood steak yeah yeah. And when
I was a kid growing up, it was like the fancy restaurant because you
went in and you saw the lobsters and you go, I'll take that,
right, yeah, slimming in the tank, yeah right, right, when
you walk in. Uh huh. I think it's sad that place closed.
I just wanted to say that. Every time I think of Detroit, I
think are Carls and Killarney Castle, which you would either take the bridge or
the tunnel to in Windsor. Mm hmm. Killarney Castle. Yeah, passed
it many a times. Right, My parents would take me there all the
times. Schmorgasboard, go in there and get your food and Windsor it was
fun. Oh the days, Freddie the days and the Babblo boat. Some
went to Windsor for other reasons, Fred. But I've heard that that's for
another show. Yeah, yeah, I heard that. Yeah, I heard
those stories about Windsor. But I was only a kid, right right when
you were playing for the lines. You ever go to Belle Isle? Oh
yeah, Belle Ou. Yeah, that was a you know, if you
didn't know what to do, you're like trying to figure out on the weekend,
and especially in the summer, Hey, let's go to bell Aule.
There's always something going on in bell Aisle belle Ou, bell A. Let's
just go to bell Out. There's always music and parties. And somebody was
doing something on bell I always find something to do on bell Out. Yeah,
and then it got to a point where Belle I was not under go
to bell Isle anymore. Yeah, well you know that happens a little bit.
And did you ever take the Bablo boat? I did not. I
did not, No, never, I never did that. I never did
that. When I saw Steve Balmer, you know he's from Detroit, uh
huh, I said, Okay, are you really from Detroit? You know,
are you seriously from Detroit? Because I'm from Detroit. You ever take
the Bablo boat? What did he say? Oh? He took the boat?
Oh yeah he did. Looking a boblo Island. It was an amusement
part boblo Island. Boy, you thought that was Disneyland. Yeah, you
did, because you got to take the boat to it. It was fun.
It was fun. See it already looks better for the Dodgers. Like,
how much fun you're gonna have in Detroit? Uh huh. There you
go. Whatever ails you go to Detroit, go to Detroit. You're gonna
be fine, all right, Ronnie roll the clothes. Make sure to tune

That is Jacob Jacob. Jacob Jacob is the real deal. Call Jacob.
Remember the consultation is free. Call Jacob at eight four four twenty four

the way you watch NBA basketball may change, might change, and it's
sad not over yet but pretty close. And we'll get into that. Yeah,
you know it played the song Ronnie. That's it. Because it is
Friday. Even though we are on a sprint, we absolutely positively we don't
get Let's go, Freddy them on now, Old Freddy, hit your button,
Freddy, Now you gotta push fred Let's go. All right, all
right, all right, my way. So the NBA is that its final
year of its current rights deal and then it will revert. The deal is
up. The league will be paid seven point six billion dollars by media companies.
So when you sit here and go these are not TV shows, you're
wrong. They are. They're television shows and they're paid a rights fee for
those shows. That's why everything is geared toward TV. Sometimes games started out.
Times you're upset about that, you don't like certain scheduling decisions you're upset
about that. No one really cares what you're upset about because there's the money
and that's just the bottom line. So it's a valuable property. And it's
funny about the NBA because sometimes it's up and sometimes it's down, but you
have a lot of inventory. When you have inventory and it's live, it
makes it very valuable. So the NBA has this giant rights deal. You
know who's controlled the rights recently for years, it's Turner or Warner Brothers Media,
which is TNT and TBS and ESPN ABC. Prior to that, it
was on NBC. It was sad when we lost that, but NBC looked
at it and said, we cannot afford to pay that kind of rights fee
because we won't make the money back. Well, things have changed since the
Proud Peacock gave up the NBA and they're back in the game. Peacock is
one of the companies NBC that will have the NBA following next season. ESPN
ABC is the other, and the third which everybody was talking about, is
Amazon. Now the NBA games on NBC, some will be on Channel four
NBC, A lot of them will be on Peacock. The streaming service.
Amazon is all streaming service, and we know what ABC and ESPN are.
So here's the deal. It's really sad for Turner to lose the NBA.
And the reason it's sad is because, for my money and no disrespect anybody,
they really do the best job. We know. The pregame show,
postgame show, halftime show is the best in the business. There's that.
Also in their game coverage is better. I just think they're better than ESPN.
I think ESPN wants to be what Turner is but can't be that.
So the caveat in all of this, according to the guy that runs Warner
Brothers Discovery Media, the owners of Turner TNT TBS, they have the right
to match one of the packages because they are the existing rights holder and there
is some sort of predetermined amount of time once they are presented here are the
offers, they have the opportunity to match, and if they match, then
they will have that package. And it seems like the package they're going to
try to match if they can. And it all comes down to money is
Amazon. Now. Amazon quite frankly has more money than Turner and what are
Brothers Discovery because Amazon is not just dependent on media. Amazon is Amazon,
and media is a part of it. Where if you're looking at a traditional
broadcast or television company, that's all you got and that's hemorrhaging viewers. So
that's where we're at. Going forward, it'll be ABC, NBC and either
TNT somehow, some way will retain a part of it, or it goes
to Amazon. Rodney, what do you think of all that? And what
do you think when they have the right to match it? Do you think
Turner will match? I mean, you said that they don't have the money
that an Amazon does because Amazon is a bohemoth obviously with Bezos and what they've
done with Amazon is incredible, but they got more money than probably all of
them. Do you see T and T matching? Feels like they're not going
to match it. I mean, and that deal is he said seven point
say, but it's seventy six billion, which is out out of control.
It's unbelievable seventy six billion dollar deal the NBA signed. It seems to me
that of this deal, I think ESPN isn't about it. Two point six
billion NB per season, NBC is at about two point five billion per season,
and Amazon, I believe is it about one point eight billion per season.
Now keep this in mind. Currently Turner is spending one point four billion,
so it's four hundred million more. And if you're Amazon, you know
you're you're driving people to your streaming service. Man, you know what,
So maybe we don't make that back. We're fine. We got no problems
here. We're good. I don't know if if Warner Brothers Discovering, the
owner of Turner has that it's four hundred million dollars, Rodney, It comes
down to this, do I think they'll match? How much? Oh?
And in one other thing, there was a period of time where the president
of uh Turner or Warner Brothers, David Zaslov, basically said they could live
or die without the NBA made no difference. They were that good. Right,
Yeah, he made that statement. Kind of flip wants to walk that
back. Yeah, right, just walk that back. Four hundred million dollars.
Is it a lot of money or isn't it. If it's not a
lot of money, Turner matches. If it is a lot of money,
they don't. And that's how I look at it. I'm confused. So
they put a lot of money, they match it. If it's not a
lot of money. They don't. This is what I mean to them,
like to them like and they look at their pockets and go, oh,
that's just jump change. Then I match it. Then they match. I
mean, does Warner Brothers, Discovery, the owner of Turner just go four
hundred million dollars? That means nothing does will match? We're good? Or
do they turn around and say, man, we can't do that. That's
financial suicide. We can't make a decision like that, it's irresponsible. Then
they won't. That's really what it comes down to. Yeah, yeah,
it's it's to me the way and this is across the board the way sports
are going. And you're seeing, you know, from player salaries to teams
valuations to everything about sports. We're just watching you know, COPA and YUIFA
and soccer and it been global around the world, and the coverage is that
it's getting I'm sure, I mean just on the service. To me,
it looks like it has done extremely well. I'm not a I don't watch
soccer on a regular basis, but I found myself glued to it. So
the future, when you look at the landscape and sports being the last real
live broadcast of any type of show. I think you got to stay in
that business. Red, I think you got to be in that business.
And it would be a shame for Warner and TNT to lose, which was,
you know, perceived by most people of having the best pregame postgame show
on of all sports on any network, and to lose that would be an
absolute shame because once you lose it, you don't get it again. Right,
that's the problem. You're to point out how important sports are. So
the CW, which televised is acc football. The CW has just included and
done a special deal with the PAC twelve the two schools two two schools there
gets a TV deal now too, because the CW, which nobody watches,
knows that at least somebody will watch if they have live sports, right right,
So I mean, if you look at it that way and say this
is where we're gonna be ten years from now, you better be involved.
You better stay involved. It's gonna be interesting. Good luck to Turner.

Victor Brick Victed afternoon. He has good vibes for the Dodgers in Detroit.
Yes, Vic killo. When you lived in Detroit for it? Did they
call you Doctor Detroit? Dan Aykroyd, what a great film? Under under
underrated film? Did Doctor Detroit? Yes? Yes, the door is in.
Big Mama was a gangster and he quarterbacked the Alliance, and he handed
AWF a lot to Barry Sanders, who rode Pete B. Sanders was the
best all no doubt in the world. B D B. What was that
I like that. You're good. Yeah, his young son Oliver has the
heart of a lion. I never figures. Come on now, I use
Barry Sanders on Madden back in the day with Ridney Peters the quarterback. Does
that count for something? Boom boom boom only if you used him in Techmobile.
I use our friend Christian Nakoya and tech Moobil because nobody can attack.

yeah, from the e boat tribe. If they get kings of beasts,
he's a king of beats. Run in Fassio calling for the bamboo garden in
Whittier. It's king flavor. Yeah. Okay. The sweep in South Philly
is done. It's over. It was ugly, it was brutal, and
you guys touched the part of As Dave Roberts said, Phillies right now,
they're a better cold ball club on July July whatever this is, eight nine,
ten eleven, the Phillis were a better club. But Souls in the
wound, all the big blows, it seemed, have local roots for the
Phillies of Trey Turner. I mean, how many big hits did Trey Turney
get during this during the series. I don't know if you consider him though
a local guy. Well it was a Dodger, Yeah, but that's about
angel Brandon Marsh. How about Brandon Marsh. A lot of big hits for
Marsh. I mean, I love I love Marsh's beard. But enough already
sure that that was the key. Listen, the Phillies played well, the
Dodgers didn't. It's it's pretty basic. It's a it's a it's a long,
freaky baseball season. And the Dodger's pitching staff is and chapters. As
Jago would say, it's shotted. You're missing MOOKI, you're missing Muncie.
I say, just let it go and we're on to the d But get
this, a Dodger takes another uh hot club in Detroit. They've won six
of seven. They just want a serious from the first place Cleveland Guardians.
So you know Detroit is gonna it's gonna be tough. I'll take two out
of three right now, and I believe the Dodgers will take two out of
three. For the Tigers calling it there, it is absolutely I got some
sunshine from the Philadelphia series. Another scoreless outing from my man, Alex Vessia
is e O A has dropped to one point three one. He got his
two phillies out. I'm telling you he gets his n our chaser along with
his two red Bullsey's good to go. Well that's later today. Quite the
regiment there, Vic, that's what Vessia does. He guess you see him
on the mound. He's got a lot of great energy. He's so focused
and he's pitching great. James paxon the big maple will get the ball later,
and I believe he is the only Dodger on the original rotation still in
there healthy along with you g Stone, of course, but you've got to
give you gotta give some love to Pason. He's at least he's pitching.
He's healthy, and he's going tonight. Yes, Morongo Casino Dodgers on that
two thirty with in case first pitch from the D three right here, M
five seven the l A Sports. Meanwhile, the Angels last night's starter had
a very cool name, Khanowitz. He got Kahanowitz by the Mariners. M
Witz Okay, I got it is the Pirates. Paul Schimes the best pitcher
in baseball. I think he is he's got the starting nots for the All
Star Game. Yeah, at a Lake Forest El Toro High School, seven
no hit endings against Milwaukee, struck out eleven walk one schemes is of the
umb unbelievable. What a great story. Yeah, he can pitch. Pick
he's going to start for the National League. A little betty can pitch.
His era is one point nine to zero. Yeah, he's six and oh
through his first eleven games in the Mages. It's pretty amazing story schemes he
can pitch. Meanwhile, I withman, this Caitlyn Clark not the only rookie
in the w doing some wonderus things. So you're following the other rookie,
Angel Reese. Angel Reeves is doing everything, and we just give her her
props. Say her out Rodney every night, setting records and they just wanted
to Oh she's I think it was pat Dan Patrick Coles. She wants to
be Draymond Green, but she's she's Dylan Brooks. No, please, Angel
Reese is bawling just as well as Caitlin Clark. And I know people like
to make her out to be the villain, but she is doing her thang.
Many props to Angel Reese. She's walking in and talking it. She
is setting a record fifteen straight double doubles for the Chicago Sky general. Vic,
that's for the league in general. Yeah, like nobody Lisa Leslie,
Randas Parker, Yes, past Candids Parker not too long ago, and Canada's
Parker at twelve or something like that, and she passed her. But yeah,
that's a feat that she broke in a rookie season all time, that
history of the w n B. A give her some love, Fred,
there it is. You just gave it to her. I think he asked
you to give her love. Fred Yeah, Freddy, oh me, Yeah,
I didn't feel any love from you. Fred I didn't either. Well,
you know what she's she's having an incredible run here. Yeah, I
think you have to acknowledge it. I agree. Following me, you guys
following the lake with some league at all. No. Yes, the squad
goes back to Vegas this weekend after the three games San Francisco. You know,
I'm talking out to us for all to talk about Brinie Vick and maybe
you're gonna get to him. Delta connect Ca and ball Man. He can
play. Yeah, led the league in scoring for you know for a reason.
This past season. I know he struggled with his first outing, but
looked a lot better than the last one. He's going to continue to improve.
He's a rookie that I think can actually help them this year. I
agree with you, Kevin, a good call on connect. You did it
a couple of Listen your first two games in any uproll league, it's going
to be tough. He was five for twenty five. His first couple of
games was connected, but then he had a very nice game. His last
game scored twenty nine boards. He can right, he can connect and play.
But all eyes will be of course on Brownie once again as they hit
Vegas and listen, he's he's averaging one like twenty nine minutes a game.
I'm just happy. Some reps and he's gonna he's gonna be a positive influence,
you know, you know, get some time in the summer league.
It's all about repetitions. Well, I mean, I understand what you're saying,
big, but let's let's just let's just see what happens. I mean,
it's gonna take a while here. Just let him settle it and play
and then we'll know. And you may not even have a clue about how
good or not he will be after one year. It's gonna take some time.
I'm writing. I'm just writing a crest. It's a great story.
It's a great story for the James family, but more importantly, it's a
great story for Briannie James, and we'll we'll be tracking him as he is.
His next step in the journey is Las Vegas Summer League and it should
be fun and clear. Was a play in their first Summer League game tonight.
By the way, a lot of people want to know that. All
right, Vic, let's go to the spread. Yeah, let's go make
sure you get that Clippers Summer League game mentioned in there. I've got some
summer verse by the Japanese Haiku Titan Bussan. It was yesterday's Haiku hold on,
Stop stop? Was yesterday's haiku weird? Or was it the day before?
I can't remember. I think he was in your mind, Fred,
No, it was not. It was yesterday, Ronnie, I believe it
was yesterday. Yeah. It was about about the wood techo in the summer
hut. That's the one. Oh yeah, a little off thick. It
was so hot that the wood techer didn't even want to pick in the summer
hut. That's how hot it was. I don't think that's how it was
that that was a show haiku Fred This is of course, now this is
Busan, of course a devote of basho, but still the upper echelon of
haiku masses Busson. He declared that in haiku one must talk poetry, okay
and Busson also known for his fabulous painting. He was an amazing painter,
just a multi skilled running around in Japan hundreds of years ago. I love
this highku. It's a summer hiku. W it's a high coup for you

Alan, Yes, it's from Okay. Free. Here we go at a
place called Kaya in the Tango region. This is happiness crossing the stream in
summer, carrying my straw sandals through the streets of Detroit. Go Dias,
there you go? Right? What that was? That was so convoluted from
the beginning, It made absolutely no sense all of a sudden, guy's got
sandals, that he's in Detroit, vic right, No, Vick. That
had nothing to do with Bussan. How dare you I'm sorry, Ronnie.
