Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to k
Speaker 1: IF I am six forty the Gary and Shannon Show
Speaker 1: on demand on the iHeartRadio app. I thought that we
Speaker 1: procured some office deodorant at some point.
Speaker 2: We never did.
Speaker 3: We never did because because it would not be It's
Speaker 3: different than like a office sweatshirt something like that. We
Speaker 3: could put a sweatshirt in there. If somebody gets cold,
Speaker 3: there's a sweatshirt in there, no big deal.
Speaker 2: But I can't.
Speaker 4: I can't say we could share secret because it's strong
Speaker 4: enough for a man, yeah, but pH ballance for a woman. Right,
Speaker 4: we could, It's probably not going to happen because on
Speaker 4: the off chance that I have.
Speaker 1: To use emergency with you, as long as you didn't
Speaker 1: leave armpit hairs exactly what I was going to say,
Speaker 1: Does it come off, Sure, but then you like pick
Speaker 1: it out right like you don't just.
Speaker 2: Leave it notice it.
Speaker 3: I mean, if I if I don't want might be
Speaker 3: sharing deodorant with somebody, then yes, I'd probably be a
Speaker 3: little bit more careful with it.
Speaker 1: But so this morning, I had a bright orange T
Speaker 1: shirt on, and I have black pants on. Is through
Speaker 1: and then I looked in the mirror and I go oh.
Speaker 1: I was like, that will be hurtful. So I changed
Speaker 1: into a Dodger T shirt and then thought is this
Speaker 1: more hurtful? And I had a real like weighing of
Speaker 1: options based on your emotional stability line. Yeah I could care.
Speaker 1: I could So I was wearing orange and black. You
Speaker 1: wouldn't think about how the giants are another failure, another
Speaker 1: year of failure.
Speaker 3: They've been spring training bound for the last month. No,
Speaker 3: I'm not okay, Well, I was thinking of not hurting,
Speaker 3: that's what That's what prompted you to forget your deodorant?
Speaker 2: Right? Well, we all thank you?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 2: So? Uh wait what we have big news? Oh?
Speaker 3: Well, I mean we have campaign stuff. We'll talk about
Speaker 3: the campaign stuff. The The Wall Street Journal is reporting
Speaker 3: today that Elon Musk has been in regular contact with
Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin not a shocker since late twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3: It was a shakra for me, specifically because of the
Speaker 3: starlink issue and Ukraine. The Wall Street Journal credits or
Speaker 3: sources this story to several current former US, European and
Speaker 3: Russian officials, and says that Elon and Vladimir have talked
Speaker 3: on personal stuff, business stuff, geopolitical stuff. At one point,
Speaker 3: Putin asked Elon Musk to not turn on the Starlink
Speaker 3: satellite internet service over Taiwan as a favor to Chinese
Speaker 3: leader Shei Jinping. Here's the issue, among other things, Elon Musk,
Speaker 3: because of his work with SpaceX, does hold a security
Speaker 3: clearance to whatever level. I don't know what it is,
Speaker 3: but he does hold a security clearance, and he does
Speaker 3: have access to certain classified materials that would probably benefit Russia.
Speaker 1: Why is this guy talking to Vladimir Putin? They're similar?
Speaker 1: I mean, all these guys are kind of in the
Speaker 1: same click. I mean you saw it with like and
Speaker 1: this is a poor example, but like Jeffrey Epstein right
Speaker 1: in his universe power players talk.
Speaker 6: They all do you know.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that you're signing off on Putin's politics,
Speaker 1: but they all are in the same click. Mark Cuban,
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 3: And there is an aspect there's, you know, ten to
Speaker 3: fifteen percent of me that's like, well, you always got
Speaker 3: to take the meeting. You can't close the door completely
Speaker 3: on love or whatever could happen. Maybe Elon Musk is
Speaker 3: the one who talks sense into Vladimir Putin or in
Speaker 3: all honesty.
Speaker 2: We never think of it the other way.
Speaker 3: Maybe he's an agent of the United States government and
Speaker 3: he's pulling secrets out of Vladimir Putin that Vladimir Putin
Speaker 3: doesn't know he's.
Speaker 2: Getting pulled out.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's it. I think it's just about money.
Speaker 1: These relationships are just about money and how can you
Speaker 1: benefit me and how can I benefit you? And how
Speaker 1: can we grow money together. That sounds awful, it is awful,
Speaker 1: but that's the way the world works.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 2: Two weeks, two weeks to the election, two weeks to go.
Speaker 6: Is the groping story the October surprise?
Speaker 3: Oh really, this guy who's had a series of stories
Speaker 3: about him groping women is now being accused of groping women.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, now this is come on.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm just saying, you know, it's it's another reason
Speaker 1: for the Democrats to say, and you're okay with this,
Speaker 1: You're okay with a candidate who openly gropes women.
Speaker 3: And that's the thing is, we will get accused of
Speaker 3: saying stuff like that, even though yes, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 3: There's nobody in their right mind who would ever think
Speaker 3: this is okay or acceptable behavior for anyone to do,
Speaker 3: no matter how powerful they are.
Speaker 1: I was reading an article this morning in the Wall
Speaker 1: Street Journal, and it is the crux of it was,
Speaker 1: this isn't the end of the world. We've gone through
Speaker 1: tough elections before. This country has gone through tough times before.
Speaker 1: There's been mudslinging after candidates.
Speaker 6: We've gotten through it.
Speaker 1: It's always this tense and this uncomfortable leading up to
Speaker 1: the election. Yes, one side is hurt after the election,
Speaker 1: but we get back to normalcy.
Speaker 6: And I would agree with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the seventies elections were nuts and the eighties contentious,
Speaker 1: all of it. I remember all that tangentially, but we
Speaker 1: have never been like this when it comes to our
Speaker 1: nationwide emotional stability before. We are a softer people than
Speaker 1: we were in the seventies and eighties. I think and
Speaker 1: blame the cell phones, blame over diagnosing uncomfortability, what have you.
Speaker 6: We are softer than we were.
Speaker 3: I think two things to that end, and we'll come
Speaker 3: back and talk more about both of them. But one
Speaker 3: of them says sixty percent of Americans in this new
Speaker 3: poll say they're meant health has been impacted by this
Speaker 3: upcoming election sixty percent. Now that being said, there was
Speaker 3: one voice of reason yesterday in this campaign that said, hey,
Speaker 3: be careful, it's not worth it. This emotional toll, relationship toll,
Speaker 3: none of it is worth it.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell you who it is.
Speaker 3: I'll just play the sound bite because some people might
Speaker 3: recognize who it is, some people might not. But it's
Speaker 3: to me, it was an incredible distillation of the Hey, guys,
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, we all have to
Speaker 3: be on the same team.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 1: The last line of the article that I read this
Speaker 1: morning said, use this time to make your own life better.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there is a developing story out of Washington, d C.
Speaker 3: This actually has a connection to LA kind of we
Speaker 3: told you last or earlier this week about the decision
Speaker 3: that the La Times went through regarding not endorsing a
Speaker 3: candidate in the presidential election. The Washington Post just posted
Speaker 3: on their opinion page that they will also not be
Speaker 3: making an endorsement of a presidential candidate in this election
Speaker 3: nor in any future presidential election. Interesting, they wrote, as
Speaker 3: the editorial wrote board wrote back in nineteen sixty, the
Speaker 3: Post has not endorsed either candidate in the presidential campaign.
Speaker 3: That's in our tradition, accords with our action in five
Speaker 3: of the last six elections. The unusual circumstances of the
Speaker 3: fifty two election led us to make an exception when
Speaker 3: we endorse General Eisenhower prior to the nominating conventions and
Speaker 3: reiterated our endorsement throughout the campaign. And then it said,
Speaker 3: also written in nineteen sixty, the election of nineteen sixty
Speaker 3: is certainly as important as any held in this century.
Speaker 2: That's sound familiar.
Speaker 3: This newspaper is in no sense noncommittal about the challenges
Speaker 3: that face the country.
Speaker 2: As our readers will be aware, we.
Speaker 3: Have attempted to make clear in editorials our conviction that
Speaker 3: most of the time, one of the two candidates has
Speaker 3: shown a deeper understanding of the issues and a larger
Speaker 3: capacity for leadership. So Washington Post says they will not
Speaker 3: endorse either candidate now or ever again.
Speaker 2: When it comes to presidential elections.
Speaker 1: The calling of Trump a fascist is nothing new. As well,
Speaker 1: this is the most important election of our time. Ex
Speaker 1: Republican is a fascist. It's all been said before. They
Speaker 1: think we're special, we are not. This isn't our first rodeo.
Speaker 3: It's amplified in a different way, perhaps because of the
Speaker 3: way social media works and because of the where and
Speaker 3: how we get our news.
Speaker 6: It is I camplified. That's exactly right.
Speaker 1: You're right, yeah, That's why it feels like it might
Speaker 1: be because we're hit over the head with it whenever
Speaker 1: we're scrolling through our phones, which we do.
Speaker 6: All day long.
Speaker 3: Campaign today goes through Texas. Interesting stop for Kamala Harris,
Speaker 3: considering Texas is considered the key state when it comes
Speaker 3: to immigration and border issues and she has suffered greatly
Speaker 3: on that one. She is in Houston, she said she's
Speaker 3: going to be talking about abortion, she will be taking
Speaker 3: the stage with Beyonce. And the way that it's written,
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty interesting in the New York Times
Speaker 3: is she's trying to turn this into sort of a
Speaker 3: trampoline so that whatever messages come out of this event
Speaker 3: today get amplified in other battleground states. She's she's not
Speaker 3: going to win Texas. It's not a battleground state, So
Speaker 3: why use that backdrop?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 3: Is it a potential downfall for her to use that
Speaker 3: state as a backdrop.
Speaker 2: For that is kind of a message.
Speaker 6: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I mean, Beyonce is from Texas, Texas. Everything is big.
Speaker 1: This is a big event if you're rolling out Beyonce.
Speaker 2: And Willie Nelson.
Speaker 3: And although he's getting a pretty deep second billing, how
Speaker 3: old is Willie in his nineties?
Speaker 6: He's in his nineties.
Speaker 3: Yeah, My Harris campaign spokesperson says the vice presid and
Speaker 3: it will not be sitting down with Joe Rogan because
Speaker 3: of some scheduling issues, but she will be sitting down
Speaker 3: with another podcaster, Brene Brown, a University of Houston professor
Speaker 3: and a vulnerability researcher. No, she has a podcast, No No,
Speaker 3: of millions that skews heavily female tability experts researcher. Specifically,
Speaker 3: Trump is in Austin. He will be taking the opportunity
Speaker 3: to talk about border issues.
Speaker 6: I am my man's armpits don't like that at all.
Speaker 3: They're starting to burn. Yeah, he is going to be
Speaker 3: sitting down with Joe Rogan. So I tease this and
Speaker 3: I want to pay this off. One of the members
Speaker 3: of the top four in terms of the candidates was
Speaker 3: asked a question. He was actually doing a town hall
Speaker 3: last night and was asked about political division and how
Speaker 3: it is regardless of what happens on Tuesday, November fifth,
Speaker 3: how do we make sure that we survive this politic division.
Speaker 5: To me, the biggest threat to democracy is the rising
Speaker 5: tide of censorship, the idea that we should be trying
Speaker 5: to silence our fellow Americans rather than persuade them and
Speaker 5: talk to them. That's always going to yes, that's always
Speaker 5: going to lead to people being pissed off because they
Speaker 5: don't like to be told what to think or what
Speaker 5: to say.
Speaker 2: They like to talk to one another.
Speaker 5: And that's one thing that I'll always commit to, as
Speaker 5: you know, your vice president for the next four years.
Speaker 2: I'll always try to talk to people.
Speaker 5: We'll go out there and we'll do events with people
Speaker 5: who disagree with us. We'll answer questions from people who
Speaker 5: don't always see eye to eye. But I think if
Speaker 5: we set the tone at the top, the leadership of
Speaker 5: this country is all about communicating with one another. I
Speaker 5: think that's how we start to heal the divide. But
Speaker 5: we all have a role in it. And what a
Speaker 5: final point I'll say about this, and you know, don't
Speaker 5: get too personal all the time, but you know, one
Speaker 5: of the things I've seen, especially from you know, some
Speaker 5: of my my wife's friends and some of my friends
Speaker 5: is that they disagree.
Speaker 2: With us on politics.
Speaker 5: Sometimes they'll get very personal about it. And if you're
Speaker 5: discarding a lifelong friendship because somebody votes for the other team,
Speaker 5: then you've made a terrible, terrible mistake and you should
Speaker 5: do something different, like don't don't cast a side. Like
Speaker 5: most of my family obviously is going to vote for
Speaker 5: you know, Donald Trump and JD. Vance and if they
Speaker 5: they're not, actually I need to.
Speaker 2: Talk to him.
Speaker 5: But but I've got friends who like me personally, acquaintances
Speaker 5: who aren't necessarily going to.
Speaker 2: Vote for me. That doesn't make them bad people. And
Speaker 2: you can't. We can't.
Speaker 5: This is my most important advice. Whether you vote for me,
Speaker 5: whether you vote for for Donald Trump, whether you vote
Speaker 5: for Kamala Harris, don't cast aside family members and lifelong friendships.
Speaker 5: Politics is not worth it. And I think we follow
Speaker 5: that principle Wihill of the divide in this country, thank you.
Speaker 6: Politics is not worth it. It's not well done.
Speaker 2: JD.
Speaker 6: Vance, well done.
Speaker 1: Well, he did say, if I'm your vice president for
Speaker 1: the next you said something years ago that stuck with me.
Speaker 6: It's very true.
Speaker 2: Was this the time I talked about your being really ugly.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to give you a compliment about a point
Speaker 1: well made. It doesn't happen often, so enjoy it, you said,
Speaker 1: I don't want to screw it up, and I will.
Speaker 1: People don't listen to you if they think you don't like.
Speaker 3: Them, right, I was repeating something else from someone else,
Speaker 3: but yes, it wasn't original to me.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's very true.
Speaker 1: And too often when you try to have a conversation
Speaker 1: with someone about politics and it's not what they want
Speaker 1: to hear or what have you, or it's not what
Speaker 1: they like, they turn off their brains. They just head
Speaker 1: in the sand, will not listen. We've got to keep
Speaker 1: open lines of communication, have the hard conversations, be open to.
Speaker 6: Something that maybe you think you're completely not open to.
Speaker 2: Always take the meeting.
Speaker 6: Take the meeting, don't shut the door on love.
Speaker 3: We talked a little bit about the Washington Post announcing
Speaker 3: today they will not be making an endorsement in this
Speaker 3: presidential election, and that kind of follows on the heels
Speaker 3: from the La Times not endorsing a candidate in the
Speaker 3: presidential election and the fallout from that, and two more
Speaker 3: editors have decided to resign from The La Times. Robert
Speaker 3: Green and Karen Klein joined editorial page editor Mariel Garza
Speaker 3: in resigning from the paper. Semaphore reported on Tuesday that
Speaker 3: the owner of the Time, doctor Patrick Soon Shong, blocked
Speaker 3: the paper's editorial board from endorsing a candidate midway through
Speaker 3: their preparation to endorse, and allegedly they had already been
Speaker 3: writing up what they said was going to be an
Speaker 3: endorsement for Vice President Harris, but he put the kibosh
Speaker 3: on it.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: North Korea is sending soldiers, thousands of them, to Russia
Speaker 1: for possibly the battle with Ukraine. This has raised serious
Speaker 1: concern with US and our allies, a major escalation that
Speaker 1: could deepen security risks for North Korea's neighbors, i e. China,
Speaker 1: which has long been North Korea's main ally but whose
Speaker 1: influence is being eroded by Kim Jong UN's growing relationship
Speaker 1: with Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 6: Ooh world War three vibes.
Speaker 3: Why I don't quite understand what benefit there is to
Speaker 3: countries like Russia and North Korea getting closer to World
Speaker 3: War three they're going to lose.
Speaker 2: That doesn't seem to me to be a question.
Speaker 3: Why would they continue shared enemies, I guess, but I mean,
Speaker 3: like you said, the idea that then, like girls in
Speaker 3: middle school, shared enemies forged great bonds. North Korea is
Speaker 3: running the risk of angering its big brother in China
Speaker 3: by palling up to Vladimir Putin, and I don't quite
Speaker 3: understand the benefit for them, other than maybe Va Putin
Speaker 3: is just saying the right things to Kim Jong u, to.
Speaker 2: Pat his ego.
Speaker 1: You're also ascribing some non craziness to Kim Jong un
Speaker 1: when we know that that guy's bats.
Speaker 2: There's also some discrepancy.
Speaker 3: We've been saying that North Korea has been deploying soldiers
Speaker 3: because that's kind of the common belief. Presidents Lenski of
Speaker 3: Ukraine has said that that's happening.
Speaker 6: But the Russian soldiers are saying, what the f do
Speaker 6: we do.
Speaker 2: With these guys? Right?
Speaker 3: And by the way, this would never this would never
Speaker 3: exist in the American military. You'd never be allowed to
Speaker 3: call Korean soldiers Chinese soldiers. But in fact that's exactly
Speaker 3: what the Russians are doing. They're using Chinese as a
Speaker 3: slang to represent all Asians, and in this case, the
Speaker 3: Ukrainian intelligence agencies have been intercepting Russian military communications where
Speaker 3: they're walking around with their hands in the air, going,
Speaker 3: what are we supposed to do with these guys? They
Speaker 3: don't know what they're doing. How are we supposed to
Speaker 3: talk to them.
Speaker 1: At one point, like you said, referring to them as
Speaker 1: the efing Chinese.
Speaker 3: One says he's standing there like his eyes out, like
Speaker 3: f The soldier says he came here, and he says,
Speaker 3: what the f to do with them? Another one, The
Speaker 3: only thing I don't understand is that there should be
Speaker 3: three senior officers for thirty people.
Speaker 2: Where do we get them?
Speaker 3: We'll have to pull them out, says another another Russian serviceman.
Speaker 2: I'm effing telling you. They say that a lot.
Speaker 3: There are seventy seven Battalian commanders coming in tomorrow. There
Speaker 3: are commanders, deputy commanders, and so on. There have been
Speaker 3: Ukraine's military intelligence groups have said that they have seen
Speaker 3: North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region of Russia. Specifically,
Speaker 3: there haven't gone into Ukraine yet, but as we heard
Speaker 3: earlier in the week from Americans John Kirby, the spokesman
Speaker 3: for the National Security Council and Secretary of Defense Lloyd
Speaker 3: Austin that if those guys go on to Ukrainian territory,
Speaker 3: they're fair game.
Speaker 2: They're going to get shot, They're going to get guys.
Speaker 7: I've always said that no one cares how much you
Speaker 7: know until they know how much you care. That's not
Speaker 7: an original thought. I'm not sure it came from, but
Speaker 7: it does play out to help me to be a
Speaker 7: good person. And honestly, I don't care about your politics.
Speaker 7: I care about you, and I care about your health,
Speaker 7: and I care about the health of our nation.
Speaker 6: And that I wanted more.
Speaker 2: But how many people have that attitude?
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, and I'm not doubting his sincerity, but
Speaker 3: there are people who will say that I care more
Speaker 3: about the country than I do the party or whatever,
Speaker 3: and then they get into an argument with somebody and
Speaker 3: cut off the relationship with them after something like that happens.
Speaker 1: So Gary and Shannon will continue to show of love.
Speaker 1: It's really a show of love.
Speaker 3: If you want to if you want to end a
Speaker 3: relationship because of the baseball rivalry or football.
Speaker 1: I was talking to somebody this morning and he said
Speaker 1: that his one of his good friends is a Chiefs fan,
Speaker 1: and he said it's kind of affecting the friendship. He's
Speaker 1: a Niner fan, and he said because his friend keeps
Speaker 1: sending him memes and stuff, you know, last play of
Speaker 1: the game type stuff. And he's like, I find myself
Speaker 1: not talking to him as much because it's just annoying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to know where that line is.
Speaker 6: Send that to your fellow chiefs friends. Don't send it
Speaker 6: to the Niners friend.
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, it's not just politics. It's this weird delusion
Speaker 1: that's kind of comical until it's embarrassing.
Speaker 2: I lose sight of who we actually are.
Speaker 3: Gary and Shannon kf I am six forty live everywhere
Speaker 3: on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 6: At Petros is mad at us for what.
Speaker 1: He's mad at us for taking any of Tim Kats's
Speaker 1: time away. He just sent me a very terse text
Speaker 1: no that says Tim is responsible for eight hours of
Speaker 1: programming today. The subtext is stop bothering Tim Kates.
Speaker 3: Well, we could say eight hours and fifteen minutes because
Speaker 3: he's going to help us out here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, got to bother at all, guys.
Speaker 6: Thanks.
Speaker 3: Tim Kates is the host of Dodger Talk and has
Speaker 3: been hosting well three weeks now, three weeks of morning
Speaker 3: shows on Kale and counting, Yeah, and counting, because we'll
Speaker 3: see how we see how this World Series plays out. Tonight,
Speaker 3: Game one of the World Series, the Dodgers play host
Speaker 3: of the New York Yankees powerhouse teams. Arguably, I think
Speaker 3: the biggest matchup that I've seen in my lifetime outside
Speaker 3: of the nineteen eighty one matchup, because it is bike coastal,
Speaker 3: It's the two largest teams from the either League.
Speaker 1: It's Flarity. I'm worried about Flarity. Tim Kates. The last
Speaker 1: time we saw him, it was a complete unmitigated disaster.
Speaker 1: Unmitigated because they left him in and it was batting practice,
Speaker 1: Tim batting practice.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But going back to what Gary was saying, because he
Speaker 2: was talking.
Speaker 1: Right, But that's all the nice stuff, that's all the
Speaker 1: nice Yeah, it's a big deal. Coast to coast, biggest teams,
Speaker 1: blah blah, superstars on the plane. Flarity is a liability.
Speaker 8: Huge liability, And I think this is the biggest key
Speaker 8: to the game tonight is what he can do on
Speaker 8: the mound. If he's Game five Flarity in New York
Speaker 8: against the Mets, it's gonna be.
Speaker 2: A long night. Could be a long right away, right
Speaker 2: We'll see how long that leashes.
Speaker 8: But if he's Jack Flerty in game one of the
Speaker 8: NLCS against the Mets, what almost two weeks ago, when
Speaker 8: he had seven shutout innings, then that's a different story.
Speaker 8: Which one are we gonna get from Jack Flerty Because
Speaker 8: even down the stretch in September, it was up and down.
Speaker 8: It wasn't like dominant and all of a sudden just
Speaker 8: fell off. Been up and down for this guy.
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts made a decision in game five to see
Speaker 1: that game yep, and it punted.
Speaker 6: Is that something you can do in the World Series.
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 6: The series is it's I just don't see that happening.
Speaker 3: If they have pen games that they know they're gonna
Speaker 3: have to get to at least one, right either game
Speaker 3: three or four. Well, I guess it'll be game four.
Speaker 3: They announced Walker Buehler will be Game three. So yeah,
Speaker 3: you're gonna have a bullpen game in New York at
Speaker 3: some point. But Game one is so pivotal. You got
Speaker 3: to go out and win this game.
Speaker 8: If Jack Flerity doesn't have it, you gotta have a
Speaker 8: quick You got to get him out of there.
Speaker 6: Why do you say that, why is it pivotal Because
Speaker 6: you get.
Speaker 8: Out to the early lead, you're up one nothing, you're
Speaker 8: feeling good, you kept home field advantage if you're the Dodgers,
Speaker 8: and it sets up the rest of the series. If
Speaker 8: Flarity can deal tonight, he goes six seven innings, let's
Speaker 8: hope that saves the bullpen for tomorrow in game two
Speaker 8: for Yoshinobayama Moti, Let's say he doesn't have a great start. Well,
Speaker 8: now you're set up nicely with high leverage relievers for
Speaker 8: Game two. I believe built in do you, oh yeah,
Speaker 8: after the first inning? Maybe, But I get he's like
Speaker 8: Jack flerity, these Dodger starters. I just you don't know
Speaker 8: what you're gonna get from game to game. If he
Speaker 8: comes out and puts up a zero tonight, Jack flarerity,
Speaker 8: Dodger Stadium is gonna exhale and feel really good about it.
Speaker 3: Well, And that's one thing that I think that is
Speaker 3: that it addresses the strength of what that Dodger team is.
Speaker 3: Is that even with questionable fluctuating starting pitching like that,
Speaker 3: they're in.
Speaker 8: The World Series. Yeah, because they score five to six
Speaker 8: seven runs a game. Yeah, and they overcome the lack
Speaker 8: of starting pitching. Their bullpens so good, their offense is
Speaker 8: so good. That's why Game five is so frustrating against
Speaker 8: the Mets. You had a chance to win in New York,
Speaker 8: get a chance to close it out, and you punted
Speaker 8: to Game six right when you still have an offense
Speaker 8: down three to one, five to one in that game
Speaker 8: that could.
Speaker 6: Have come back. I turned that game off. I couldn't
Speaker 6: even look at it. I was like, what are we doing? Okay?
Speaker 1: MLB teams that win the first game go on to
Speaker 1: win a series sixty four point three percent of the time.
Speaker 2: There you go, numbers don't lie.
Speaker 8: That's huge saber metrics right there. I knew you were
Speaker 8: always into analytics. I knew that about you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me and Brandon Staley, you go for it, San Francisco.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 6: Yeah, look at what that's program has become.
Speaker 3: Everybody's wearing their fresh new Dodger geary Stadium.
Speaker 6: I made a point about this.
