WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:03.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh, we continue on thread Rogan Rodney Pete on AM

2
00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:08.800
<v Speaker 1>five to seventy LA Sports. Uh so the Dodgers are well,

3
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:10.960
<v Speaker 1>there may be a roster spot open. Let's just put

4
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.679
<v Speaker 1>it like that. There might be a roster spot open,

5
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>and we will talk about that, I promise coming up

6
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:19.559
<v Speaker 1>later on in this hour, but in our two hour program. Now,

7
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>let us welcome on our colleague, our NBA insider from

8
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.559
<v Speaker 1>the LA Times, Dan Wyking and Dan, thanks for being here.

9
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.839
<v Speaker 2>Fred. You know, after a big game, there's almost nowhere

10
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:32.640
<v Speaker 2>else I'd rather be A sleep would be one, sure,

11
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.320
<v Speaker 2>and then you know, on with you and Rodney's number two.

12
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:38.799
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I was going to say, is sleep number one anywhere? Else?

13
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>Number two? With us number three? But at least we

14
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 1>made the list either way.

15
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're on. You're on the list, which is like

16
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:50.039
<v Speaker 2>ultimately right, Like it's uh, what did my mother say?

17
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:51.479
<v Speaker 2>Is that that? You know, it doesn't matter what they

18
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.679
<v Speaker 2>call you as long as they call you like amen?

19
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, So it's funny, Dan, I watched the game

20
00:00:58.399 --> 00:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>last night. As a matter of fact, now I'm watching

21
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>all the games because they're exciting and because I care,

22
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>and I think just acquiring Luca as an overview here

23
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>has made people care again because I think the Lakers

24
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:13.599
<v Speaker 1>that lost some o their luster, well.

25
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:17.319
<v Speaker 2>They're certainly like, Okay, so when you see twenty years

26
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:22.159
<v Speaker 2>of excellence, right, like there's a fatigue to that. You know, like,

27
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:23.840
<v Speaker 2>like what more can Lebron do at this point that

28
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:28.439
<v Speaker 2>is new and exciting territory that he hasn't already done

29
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:33.239
<v Speaker 2>in Cleveland and Miami and Franklin, Right Like this stuff

30
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.159
<v Speaker 2>is all you don't want to say it's all old that,

31
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>but like we've seen it all before and this is

32
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 2>an injection of life and excitement and new franchise that

33
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 2>is always sort of built to not just embrace that stuff,

34
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 2>but really highlighted. Like there's just something about it. And

35
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I know I'm going to sound like a Laker fanboy,

36
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.319
<v Speaker 2>and that's not if anybody knows me that that's not

37
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 2>the case in any real way. But it's just like,

38
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's like something to like seeing you know,

39
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Luka Dacic firing behind the back passes out d Austin

40
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.960
<v Speaker 2>vis that like it makes you think about Magic Johnson

41
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:11.759
<v Speaker 2>in a way that it wouldn't have happened if he

42
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:13.919
<v Speaker 2>was doing it for Sae, the Charlotte Hornets, like you

43
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.439
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be longing for the days of Kelly Trapuca, you know.

44
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Or like basically there's like three or four franchises where

45
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.960
<v Speaker 2>it's like, you know, really you can really elicit these

46
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:27.639
<v Speaker 2>types of feelings and Los Angeles is one of them.

47
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:29.879
<v Speaker 2>And Fred, it makes total sense to me that you're

48
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.800
<v Speaker 2>locked in like it's it is sort of a you

49
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:35.680
<v Speaker 2>don't know what you're going to see other than you

50
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 2>know you're going to see something spectacular, and uh, it's

51
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:40.319
<v Speaker 2>pretty exciting.

52
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Well it was exciting last night. Looka playing against the MAVs.

53
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 1>We'll go backwards Anthony Davis. He got a nice reception,

54
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't he from the fans?

55
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Absolutely, And I mean I think, you know, it's

56
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 2>one of the weird parts about this trade, right, is

57
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 2>that there were no disgruntled parties, like seemingly other than

58
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 2>the Mavericks organization and leadership, you know that that everybody

59
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:07.919
<v Speaker 2>else was basically like it is, you know, has good

60
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 2>feelings generally speaking about the trade. I think not that

61
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:14.719
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Davis wanted to be traded, but I mean I think,

62
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's excited for the opportunity, not excited that

63
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.759
<v Speaker 2>he's not on the court, but but you know, this

64
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.120
<v Speaker 2>is a next step for him in a franchise that

65
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.840
<v Speaker 2>has you know, some some real some real belief in

66
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:30.240
<v Speaker 2>him and the immediacy. And I think for Max Christie,

67
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.879
<v Speaker 2>it's obviously a real opportunity to to do a little

68
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.599
<v Speaker 2>bit more than he was going to do in la Uh.

69
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:39.199
<v Speaker 2>For Lukatanachi, it's an opportunity you know, to be a

70
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 2>global superstar in a way that he's not, but like,

71
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:44.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, to really focusing on ad Like I mean,

72
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 2>I think he's one of those players that you know,

73
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:53.280
<v Speaker 2>like his number will be in the rafters right, like

74
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:55.599
<v Speaker 2>there's no doubt and even though it's like not that

75
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.080
<v Speaker 2>many games and stuff like that, Like when you look

76
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.759
<v Speaker 2>at like what he did for five year is a Laker,

77
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, you know, the the pure statistics, they are

78
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 2>on par with virtually any big man per game that

79
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.840
<v Speaker 2>that's that's played for the Lakers. Like he's in that

80
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:17.160
<v Speaker 2>class statistically, He's won a championship, he'll be a Hall

81
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 2>of Famer. He's a top seventy five all time player.

82
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.279
<v Speaker 2>Like I thought that moment was really well done. He's

83
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:27.759
<v Speaker 2>hit some iconic shots. I mean, you know, you could argue,

84
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.079
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's a would be a fun argument

85
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 2>maybe for a later day that like the mamba shot

86
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.160
<v Speaker 2>in the bubble is like the biggest Laker shot of

87
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.600
<v Speaker 2>the Lebron James era, single biggest shot, you know, And

88
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.959
<v Speaker 2>and it wasn't a Lebron James shot. And so I think,

89
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, he deserves his flowers. I'm always underrated. I think,

90
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's a really really good bass player and

91
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 2>a great dude, and I think, you know, I know

92
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:56.079
<v Speaker 2>people were very sad to see him go inside the

93
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 2>organization because of how highly people thought of him.

94
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.199
<v Speaker 1>All right, But and then that brings us to Luca

95
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Donchs and he openly admitted it was kind of weird

96
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>for him last night, kind of an yeah, very are

97
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.319
<v Speaker 1>feeling could you sense that in the arena? Totally?

98
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think yea. I tweeted this during the game.

99
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:13.279
<v Speaker 2>But like the line I've been going with is it

100
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:17.519
<v Speaker 2>It reminded me fred of my presidential fitness tests when

101
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.240
<v Speaker 2>I was in junior high where you take on the

102
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 2>mile and you just hit that for you hit that

103
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 2>first six hundred meters a little just kind of what

104
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.680
<v Speaker 2>it felt like to me like you're a little guessed up,

105
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:29.800
<v Speaker 2>and you know, you realize you just got a long

106
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 2>race ahead of you. And I think like emotionally it

107
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 2>felt like that, right, Like, the emotion in the first

108
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:40.240
<v Speaker 2>fourteen to sixteen minutes of that game was so high

109
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:42.879
<v Speaker 2>that it was like it was it was really hard

110
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:47.199
<v Speaker 2>to keep it up. And you could see Luca affected, right,

111
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Dallas just swarming him on defense, throwing double teams, totally

112
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:53.680
<v Speaker 2>mucking up the game and doing so really effectively. Right

113
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.399
<v Speaker 2>credits Jason Kid credits of those maps for what they

114
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.199
<v Speaker 2>were able to do in that game. But you know,

115
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 2>I think the Lakers poise, they showed patience, and this

116
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:07.040
<v Speaker 2>is this is one of the real benefits of this pairing, right,

117
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:09.600
<v Speaker 2>is that you know, on a night where Luca isn't

118
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.079
<v Speaker 2>his best, by the way, still hasn't absurd what nineteen

119
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.920
<v Speaker 2>fifteen and twelve triple double. Yeah, And you know Austin

120
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.879
<v Speaker 2>Reeves is really good and Lebron James is otherworldly when

121
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:23.120
<v Speaker 2>it matters and winning time, and you know that's kind

122
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.279
<v Speaker 2>of the waves the Lakers can hit you with now.

123
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.399
<v Speaker 2>And it's uh, you know they could do it with

124
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Davis too. It's just different when like when you

125
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:35.040
<v Speaker 2>can just kind of run everything through a player, you know,

126
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 2>and that that really isn't the case for it, Like

127
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.000
<v Speaker 2>they would have to try to make Anthony Davis the hub.

128
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Like there's no trying with Luca, right, Like the ball

129
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.759
<v Speaker 2>is his, the offense is his, and everybody else is

130
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna have to figure it out. And and Lebron James

131
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Austin Reeves, Lakers have two tremendous players when it comes

132
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:51.600
<v Speaker 2>to figuring it out.

133
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Nico Harrison was the other general manager, so he can

134
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:57.199
<v Speaker 1>go to road games because he can't go to home

135
00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:58.600
<v Speaker 1>games after making that deal, and.

136
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:00.879
<v Speaker 2>That's well, they thank them at the road games. They

137
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:02.480
<v Speaker 2>have different chants and.

138
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.439
<v Speaker 1>Laker fans were very appreciative of Nico.

139
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Look, I think you know you feel for you feel

140
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:12.519
<v Speaker 2>for people who are in these decitions to have to

141
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:17.600
<v Speaker 2>make these hard decisions. And I'll say, like credit credit

142
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.480
<v Speaker 2>to the Garrison. He was not hiding yesterday. He was

143
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:24.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, bright blue suit front and center and pregame.

144
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:29.079
<v Speaker 2>It was very interesting watching people kind of like you know,

145
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.720
<v Speaker 2>in some ways like sheepishly approach him, you know what

146
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Like how's it going, Like how you doing?

147
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Like kind of like the first time you see your

148
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.639
<v Speaker 2>buddy after a divorce or something like that, where it's like,

149
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.120
<v Speaker 2>how's how's everything everything, like where you don't really want

150
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.279
<v Speaker 2>to know the answer, you know, like those kinds of questions.

151
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.519
<v Speaker 2>That's sort of how it felt like. You know, he's

152
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:52.279
<v Speaker 2>a relationships guy around this league, like every team has

153
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:54.879
<v Speaker 2>worked with him. He has particularly close relationships with the

154
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Lakers because of his time with Kobe Bryant and Nike,

155
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:02.279
<v Speaker 2>so not surprising to see Lakers people kind of interact

156
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:07.240
<v Speaker 2>with him, you know, I do think right like it

157
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:11.160
<v Speaker 2>is like like Dallas had its reasons. They may not

158
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.639
<v Speaker 2>be good reasons, but they had them, And I do

159
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:17.279
<v Speaker 2>think that, Like, you know, it'll be over the next

160
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.879
<v Speaker 2>two seasons, you know, which is what the current contract is.

161
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.759
<v Speaker 2>I assume there will be an extension. You know, there's

162
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:25.920
<v Speaker 2>more money to come, so over the next five six

163
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:28.959
<v Speaker 2>seasons of this this you know experience with Luka Doncic, Like,

164
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:32.000
<v Speaker 2>we'll see if those reasons manifest in Los Angeles. I think,

165
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, that should be a real consideration. I just

166
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.200
<v Speaker 2>haven't talked to anybody really fred around the league who

167
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:41.720
<v Speaker 2>thinks this is a good idea for Dallas really like

168
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.440
<v Speaker 2>that just hasn't like that, you know, almost no matter

169
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:47.360
<v Speaker 2>what you would say that it's still like you. You

170
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:49.360
<v Speaker 2>would just figure it out because the whole point is

171
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:51.000
<v Speaker 2>to get players as good as Luka Doncic.

172
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.840
<v Speaker 1>You can never give away the Greatstan You just can't

173
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:59.159
<v Speaker 1>do it. You cannot let one of the game.

174
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.320
<v Speaker 2>They gave away, of the they gave away the best

175
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.759
<v Speaker 2>player in the trade and the youngest star in the trade.

176
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:08.159
<v Speaker 2>Two like you, you could envision a world right where

177
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:15.000
<v Speaker 2>the roles are reversed and say, like, Okay, Denver, I'm

178
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.080
<v Speaker 2>just making stuff up here that Denver would would have

179
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.159
<v Speaker 2>a a you know, a Nicola Jokic sort of consideration

180
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.759
<v Speaker 2>because Luka Dati is just four years younger, you know

181
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:28.600
<v Speaker 2>what I mean, Like you could talk yourself into something

182
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:33.039
<v Speaker 2>like that. Maybe it's it's to me, it's just the

183
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:34.759
<v Speaker 2>word that I keep hearing when I talk to people

184
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.559
<v Speaker 2>around like you short sighted. This was a short sighted

185
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.639
<v Speaker 2>decision from Dallas and the Lakers were are are in

186
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:44.320
<v Speaker 2>the unique position both the benefit benefit from it in

187
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 2>the short term and benefit in the long term too.

188
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:51.960
<v Speaker 2>It really they've really been given a lifeline here and

189
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:54.480
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty incredible. They're playing like it.

190
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Uh okay, given the way they're playing, let's just look

191
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:02.960
<v Speaker 1>at the lake now, they've won fifteen of nineteen, one

192
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.480
<v Speaker 1>game behind Denver and Memphis, and the loss column for

193
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.759
<v Speaker 1>the number two seed in the West. I think we

194
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.519
<v Speaker 1>can agree all of a sudden, they're legit. They're really

195
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:14.120
<v Speaker 1>in the conversation. But now things get tough, Dan, Now

196
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the schedule picks up, and are we going to find

197
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>out who they are right now?

198
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? You know, I think the biggest question right is

199
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.360
<v Speaker 2>like how real is the defense? You know, so much

200
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.759
<v Speaker 2>of it is predicated currently on effort. You mentioned that

201
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:29.440
<v Speaker 2>nineteen game span. We'll kick it back another game to

202
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty games. They have the best defense in the NBA

203
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 2>over the last twenty games in terms of efficiency, which

204
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.360
<v Speaker 2>is anybody who watched them, like me, played the first

205
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:40.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty games of this season is sort of laughable, Like

206
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:42.519
<v Speaker 2>that's crazy, Like they were good for like a week

207
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.360
<v Speaker 2>to start the season and then they were pretty atrocious defensively,

208
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Like that switch is flipped, you know, like they are

209
00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:53.159
<v Speaker 2>flying around the court defensively, and you know a lot

210
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.759
<v Speaker 2>of it has been effort and energy, Well effort, energy

211
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:57.919
<v Speaker 2>is going to get tested here a bunch at home,

212
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.480
<v Speaker 2>because you know it's Minnesota. It's two with the Clippers,

213
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:04.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, like New Orleans will come through. But then

214
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:08.039
<v Speaker 2>it's the Knicks, then it's the Celtics. You know you're

215
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:13.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna catch Milwaukee here soon. You know, the good the

216
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.799
<v Speaker 2>good teams are coming right, like really now, I think

217
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:19.039
<v Speaker 2>the promising thing right as you mentioned that fifteen to

218
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:23.240
<v Speaker 2>nineteen stretch, Fred, look at who they've lost to it.

219
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:27.279
<v Speaker 2>It hasn't been the challenges, right, it's been sort of

220
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:31.919
<v Speaker 2>the Snoozers losing the Utah losing to Charlotte, getting waxed

221
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:34.840
<v Speaker 2>by like a third of the Philadelphia seventy six ers. Yeah,

222
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.039
<v Speaker 2>you know there's a there's a Clippers loss in there,

223
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:39.639
<v Speaker 2>you know. And the Spurs loss are kind of the

224
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:42.759
<v Speaker 2>the other two and the twenty game span. The Spurs

225
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:45.120
<v Speaker 2>loss was the first game after the Fires. The Clippers,

226
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 2>the first Clippers loss, I believe was their first game

227
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:49.320
<v Speaker 2>to into it them like they didn't have Vic Dorian

228
00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:51.639
<v Speaker 2>Finney Smith had just come back and and the energy

229
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:54.799
<v Speaker 2>wasn't there for them in that game. But you know,

230
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:56.519
<v Speaker 2>when when they've been able to like put their put

231
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:58.600
<v Speaker 2>their foot on the gas and they've done it when

232
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.360
<v Speaker 2>the situation is demanded it. They've been one of the

233
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:06.279
<v Speaker 2>best teams in the NBA, and it is a you know,

234
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:09.440
<v Speaker 2>it has been a big enough sample. Twenty games is

235
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.039
<v Speaker 2>like enough of an NBA sample where you start to

236
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:14.080
<v Speaker 2>you start to make real assumptions like maybe that's just

237
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:17.360
<v Speaker 2>who this team is. It is like a really tough, tough,

238
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.679
<v Speaker 2>tough nose, you know, defensive minded team that has you know,

239
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.759
<v Speaker 2>three just excellent offensive players as well. And if that's

240
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.000
<v Speaker 2>the case, that's that's what a contender looks like.

241
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:30.799
<v Speaker 1>A real right now, this this is a conversation we

242
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.080
<v Speaker 1>would not have had six weeks ago.

243
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.639
<v Speaker 2>With Anthony Davis. No, right, all right, I was just

244
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:38.519
<v Speaker 2>kind of getting there with them, Fred, like just sort

245
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:41.840
<v Speaker 2>of getting there is sort of like maybe this team

246
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:43.840
<v Speaker 2>has a shot at a deep run. Was kind of

247
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.960
<v Speaker 2>where I was at versus Now it's like, oh, no,

248
00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:48.919
<v Speaker 2>Like they can go into playoff series credibly and have

249
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:50.919
<v Speaker 2>the two best players on the team on the court

250
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:51.600
<v Speaker 2>on their team.

251
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Right that thing said when we get to the playoffs, Uh,

252
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:01.480
<v Speaker 1>you look at the West, I'm a fleet. If they're

253
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.039
<v Speaker 1>filing on all cylinders, I think now they can win

254
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.279
<v Speaker 1>the West, And I didn't think that six weeks ago.

255
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:12.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think, you know, like parody cuts both ways, right.

256
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.120
<v Speaker 2>I do think that the West sort of feels open.

257
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.679
<v Speaker 2>I think that if we like took deep, like real

258
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:21.679
<v Speaker 2>deep Haart looks at four or five teams in the West,

259
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:25.519
<v Speaker 2>we could have sort of similar conversations right about their chances.

260
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Really basically everybody other than the Oklahoma City Thunder like

261
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:32.519
<v Speaker 2>involves like some level of speculation. But but I think,

262
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:37.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, I think the the things that I'm seeing

263
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.600
<v Speaker 2>right is like, you know, you have a team like

264
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Memphis who it sort of feels like they've been there

265
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:43.960
<v Speaker 2>and like they're gonna need to go to another level

266
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:46.279
<v Speaker 2>of the playoffs that they've never really gotten through, right,

267
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Like they've sort of had their cracks at this and

268
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.399
<v Speaker 2>it flamed out. The Thunder is obviously the ascending team.

269
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota is fighting to be who they were last year.

270
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:58.399
<v Speaker 2>They're not quite the here. You know, Houston has inexperienced,

271
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:02.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, the the Clippers are are kind of a

272
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:05.879
<v Speaker 2>try hard group. You know, we'll see like I mean,

273
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:10.759
<v Speaker 2>the Warriors suddenly seem pretty sneaky and dangerous. But you know,

274
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.639
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers have handled them. They haven't handled this version

275
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.120
<v Speaker 2>of them. WHI Jimmy Butler. But you know that's that's interesting.

276
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:20.320
<v Speaker 2>They feel like there's a crack like I mean, the

277
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Denver Nuggets certainly to me Saturday's game notwithstanding, I feel

278
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:26.679
<v Speaker 2>like a very dangerous team, but not to the not

279
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:29.519
<v Speaker 2>to the level that they were. So yeah, I mean

280
00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:31.600
<v Speaker 2>you can kind of see it like it was. It

281
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:36.559
<v Speaker 2>was funny the other day, you know, are Los Angeles'

282
00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:39.679
<v Speaker 2>favorite son of one of them? Maggie Johnson tweeted something

283
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:41.919
<v Speaker 2>like this Lakers team has a chance to make the

284
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Western Conference Finals, and I was like, whoa magic? Like

285
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:47.200
<v Speaker 2>now all of a sudden, you're you're you're off the

286
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:50.679
<v Speaker 2>hyperbole on the social media, like like why stop at

287
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:55.360
<v Speaker 2>the Western Conference finals with this group? Like like honestly, like,

288
00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:57.320
<v Speaker 2>if you think this team can win two playoff series,

289
00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:00.559
<v Speaker 2>then you probably think they can win three. And it

290
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.519
<v Speaker 2>was surprising to me to see him kind of He's

291
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:08.399
<v Speaker 2>usually a pretty excited guy and certainly reactive to the moment,

292
00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:10.279
<v Speaker 2>and I thought like, this was a moment you could

293
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:12.480
<v Speaker 2>really get behind. It's like you watch them just you know,

294
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.639
<v Speaker 2>beat the pants off of Denver and in a way,

295
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:17.559
<v Speaker 2>that it's like, wow, it's kind of all coming together.

296
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So if you look at it like that and

297
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:24.480
<v Speaker 1>the stars aligned and they somehow can win the West

298
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.559
<v Speaker 1>again six weeks ago, this is not a conversation. But

299
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:31.639
<v Speaker 1>if they did, now you look forward and who's there,

300
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland or Boston I meant to win the whole thing

301
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:35.679
<v Speaker 1>or no.

302
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:40.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we'll see, right, Like, I think those teams

303
00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:44.240
<v Speaker 2>have both had better seasons than the Lakers, but like, okay,

304
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:47.360
<v Speaker 2>let's let's let's put on our tinfoil hats here. If

305
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:51.440
<v Speaker 2>you're Adam Silver, you're talking about things like ratings and

306
00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:53.240
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that, and I hate going down this road,

307
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:56.120
<v Speaker 2>but like, think about the storylines between either of those

308
00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:01.279
<v Speaker 2>two series, Lebron James and Cleveland for an NBA Finals

309
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:05.080
<v Speaker 2>in year twenty one, like twenty two, Like that's crazy,

310
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:09.559
<v Speaker 2>that's nuts. Or you get Luca getting his first taste

311
00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:13.480
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers Celtics, you know, you know, yeah, I mean

312
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:15.759
<v Speaker 2>it feels like it's all sort of there for this

313
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.440
<v Speaker 2>to be like a real like historic playoff, you know,

314
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.559
<v Speaker 2>for the league in general. And I think and I think, look,

315
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:23.799
<v Speaker 2>even if it's not the Lakers, I was on I

316
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.159
<v Speaker 2>was on the herd earlier today, and I said this, like,

317
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, if it's the Thunder like that

318
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:32.039
<v Speaker 2>feels like a team that's going to be here for

319
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:34.759
<v Speaker 2>a little while, right Like there is a you know,

320
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:38.080
<v Speaker 2>if it's the Warriors sort of last stand, it's really

321
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:40.919
<v Speaker 2>set up for this West to be to be really interesting.

322
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:43.480
<v Speaker 2>And I think there are a lot of teams that

323
00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:46.559
<v Speaker 2>have pretty good arguments for a place in this I

324
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:49.600
<v Speaker 2>think the thing that I would say right to your

325
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:53.840
<v Speaker 2>point in the past, you'd really have to squint for

326
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:56.559
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers one, you know, and you can be clear

327
00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.919
<v Speaker 2>eight about it. Right now, it's it's like the list

328
00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:01.960
<v Speaker 2>of things that has to go right for the Lakers

329
00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:05.079
<v Speaker 2>to make the conference finals or the finals has gotten

330
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:07.839
<v Speaker 2>much more attainable, Uh, when you have a player like

331
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Luka Doncic, because like we just I mean we saw it.

332
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:13.119
<v Speaker 2>That's the most mind boggling thing about the trade to

333
00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:17.400
<v Speaker 2>me is that, like we just saw last year, how

334
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:19.680
<v Speaker 2>he can win playoff series. I don't want to say

335
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.599
<v Speaker 2>single handedly, but by being the dominant player right by

336
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.720
<v Speaker 2>being the unsolvable problem, like we just saw it. And

337
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:28.519
<v Speaker 2>now he's going to enter a postseason with Lebron James.

338
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:33.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, nich that's yeah, it is. And I want

339
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:36.240
<v Speaker 1>to thank you for continuing on this season with us

340
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:38.839
<v Speaker 1>because it makes uh, it warms the cockles of our heart.

341
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow. All right, I'm glad you added the hard part.

342
00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:46.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, Dan, thanks for jumping on. Appreciated, right, take care.

343
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:50.319
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get into the Dodgers now. One question.

344
00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:53.839
<v Speaker 1>Apparently it's spring training. Maybe there is a roster spot

345
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.000
<v Speaker 1>open for grabs and we'll talk about that next.

346
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:02.279
<v Speaker 3>That's right, Rogan and Roddy down the home stretch, two

347
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:06.279
<v Speaker 3>hours show today. Sure, sure it spread, Freddy, all right,

348
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:09.960
<v Speaker 3>let's talk Dodgers. Let's talk them, okay, and you know,

349
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:13.119
<v Speaker 3>everything is rosy. And by the way, for those that say, well,

350
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:15.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, what's their exhibition record, who cares?

351
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.400
<v Speaker 1>The games don't count. It doesn't matter. It's completely irrelevant,

352
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:20.640
<v Speaker 1>and they're just trying to work stuff out. Okay, Well,

353
00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:22.680
<v Speaker 1>if they ask you, fred the regular season doesn't count either,

354
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:26.359
<v Speaker 1>so well, not really. The playoffs count, but certainly, let

355
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.000
<v Speaker 1>me put it like this, the regular season counts a

356
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:31.480
<v Speaker 1>little more than the play the preseason, right, fair enough? Okay,

357
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:37.279
<v Speaker 1>So the only question seemed to be who's going to

358
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.400
<v Speaker 1>be on the roster the end of the roster. Now,

359
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:43.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, they acquired the second basement from Korea Kim

360
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:47.200
<v Speaker 1>and everybody said he had a magnificent cloth. Apparently that

361
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.200
<v Speaker 1>is the case if you look at his highlights on

362
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:52.240
<v Speaker 1>YouTube or you talk to the people at Camelback Ranch.

363
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:55.440
<v Speaker 1>This guy can play defense and the guy can also run.

364
00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:59.720
<v Speaker 1>But even when they first signed him, word was he

365
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:03.559
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a great bat. Now the Dodger coaches believe

366
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:05.400
<v Speaker 1>that they can get him to a point where he's

367
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:08.559
<v Speaker 1>going to be a viable big league hitter. But certainly

368
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.240
<v Speaker 1>from a defensive standpoint, is not even an issue. Rodney.

369
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:14.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's like a gold glove guy already. Yeah.

370
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:15.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, if you've seen him watch and he even

371
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:18.440
<v Speaker 3>watched a little bit of highlights, if you've seen spring training,

372
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.400
<v Speaker 3>he is he is phenomenal with the glove. Yeah, but

373
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:24.240
<v Speaker 3>that is the question that was a question before they

374
00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:26.799
<v Speaker 3>signed him. You know, how would he be at the plate.

375
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:27.440
<v Speaker 1>And then of.

376
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Course there will be an adjustment, you know, going from

377
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:34.599
<v Speaker 3>playing in Korea and the face now facing major league pitching.

378
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:38.680
<v Speaker 3>That's a big adjustment. So there will be a learning

379
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:43.920
<v Speaker 3>curve for him, and you know, we just don't know

380
00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:46.319
<v Speaker 3>how long that's going to be and how long it's

381
00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:48.319
<v Speaker 3>going to take him to adjust. It used to be,

382
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:52.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, you know, Fred, back in the seventies and eighties,

383
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:56.319
<v Speaker 3>in Major League baseball, if you were playing second base

384
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:58.759
<v Speaker 3>or shortstop, it didn't really matter a whole lot. You

385
00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:01.480
<v Speaker 3>didn't have to have a great bat offensively, it was

386
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:05.960
<v Speaker 3>it was secondary to your defense. They wanted you to

387
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.920
<v Speaker 3>be an exceptional defensive shortstop or second baseman. And if

388
00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:13.000
<v Speaker 3>you you know, if you hit two twenty, that's okay,

389
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:16.839
<v Speaker 3>if you're two ten, that's okay. Nowadays you got to

390
00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:20.720
<v Speaker 3>produce on the offensive side of it. So so we'll see,

391
00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:22.839
<v Speaker 3>we'll see. I think time will tell. I'm you know,

392
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:25.720
<v Speaker 3>it's it's early for him and he's you know, just

393
00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:27.799
<v Speaker 3>getting his feet wet with the major league pitching.

394
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:31.200
<v Speaker 1>So we got to give him some time. The thing is,

395
00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:35.319
<v Speaker 1>given the fact that he does appear to struggle, and

396
00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:38.920
<v Speaker 1>that's a decision now that they've made really quickly. They're

397
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:41.440
<v Speaker 1>floating around the idea, maybe we start him in triple A,

398
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:44.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, let him work on his bat, let him

399
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:47.400
<v Speaker 1>get some confidence, let him get up to speed, and

400
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:51.200
<v Speaker 1>if that happens, there's your roster spot. Now before you

401
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:53.079
<v Speaker 1>go any further, and you go, well, that was stupid

402
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:55.799
<v Speaker 1>for him to trade Gavin Lucks, right, because that's the

403
00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:57.200
<v Speaker 1>first thing you would say is, oh my god, they

404
00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:00.240
<v Speaker 1>traded Gavin Lucks and this guy can't hit. No, this

405
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.519
<v Speaker 1>is a long term play, and they believe Gavin lux

406
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:07.279
<v Speaker 1>had hit a ceiling here at least. So if that's

407
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:09.000
<v Speaker 1>the case, then you know, Okay, now we have an

408
00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:13.960
<v Speaker 1>opening at second base. So then the question becomes, okay, Rodney,

409
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:16.359
<v Speaker 1>what do you do because we know Mookie's gonna play short.

410
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:19.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, you got options. I mean that's the beauty

411
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:21.400
<v Speaker 3>of the Dodgers. You've got a lot of options. I mean,

412
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:24.319
<v Speaker 3>Chris Taylor can play second base, Key K can play

413
00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:29.079
<v Speaker 3>second base. You can move Edmund into second base and

414
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:32.359
<v Speaker 3>have Pahz play center field, or Chris Taylor plays center field,

415
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:35.119
<v Speaker 3>Key K plays center field. The Dodgers are built this

416
00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:38.279
<v Speaker 3>way that it doesn't matter. They have options, and they

417
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:42.680
<v Speaker 3>have enough guys that can play multiple positions that they're

418
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:46.160
<v Speaker 3>insulated against. Someone may that may have a slow start

419
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:50.160
<v Speaker 3>or maybe struggling a little bit offensively, they can replace

420
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:53.240
<v Speaker 3>that player immediately with guys on that team and on

421
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:56.160
<v Speaker 3>that roster. So if he starts in triple A, which

422
00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:59.079
<v Speaker 3>by the way, might not be a bad thing, just

423
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:02.480
<v Speaker 3>to take some pressure off of him and to get

424
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:05.599
<v Speaker 3>him as many at bats as possible early in the season,

425
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:08.759
<v Speaker 3>because at some point I think he will be you know, uh,

426
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:13.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, an important piece to this Dodger team. But

427
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:15.519
<v Speaker 3>but there's no, there's nothing wrong with him starting in

428
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:19.480
<v Speaker 3>triple A. And because if he's he's with the big club,

429
00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:24.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, he probably won't play every day, you know,

430
00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:26.119
<v Speaker 3>and so he's not going to get the number of

431
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:27.880
<v Speaker 3>a vats that he would get in triple A. So

432
00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:30.279
<v Speaker 3>go down there, get as many as the bats as

433
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:32.519
<v Speaker 3>you can, get comfortable, and then bring him up slowly.

434
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:37.680
<v Speaker 1>So that means who who's on, who's in, who's not

435
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:40.839
<v Speaker 1>going anywhere? So the name, I think, and we'll have

436
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:43.640
<v Speaker 1>David vass On by the end of the week. How

437
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:48.000
<v Speaker 1>about it. When Rosario m obviously a big league guy

438
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:49.960
<v Speaker 1>and he's played for the Dodgers, and when he did,

439
00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:52.839
<v Speaker 1>he looked pretty good. He's kicked around his little bit,

440
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:57.119
<v Speaker 1>but at one yeah, he's having and he's having a

441
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:01.000
<v Speaker 1>good spring. Yeah, could that be the guy if they

442
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:05.359
<v Speaker 1>start Kim and the miners, and if they had him

443
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:07.440
<v Speaker 1>on the roster, I have to tell you I think

444
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:13.279
<v Speaker 1>he would play, because you're right in Rosario. Yeah yeah,

445
00:23:13.319 --> 00:23:14.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't think they're gonna put him on

446
00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:15.880
<v Speaker 1>the roster and let him sit there and Wan. Well,

447
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:18.039
<v Speaker 1>here's the other thing. Do you how you know.

448
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.359
<v Speaker 3>How much are you going to use Chris Taylor? Say

449
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:25.759
<v Speaker 3>Kim does go down? You know what what is that?

450
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:28.359
<v Speaker 3>How often are you going to use Chris Taylor? You're

451
00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:30.039
<v Speaker 3>going to give him reps the kid to see if

452
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:32.240
<v Speaker 3>he can get back to form that he had a

453
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:35.680
<v Speaker 3>couple of years ago. Are you gonna let Key k

454
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:39.079
<v Speaker 3>be a regular second basement if you put Kim down?

455
00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:40.599
<v Speaker 3>Or are you going to go with what I said?

456
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:43.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, move Edmunds into the infield and now you've

457
00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:46.240
<v Speaker 3>got your outfield and you allow Pahz to continue to

458
00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:49.920
<v Speaker 3>grow at center field. They've got a lot of choices,

459
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:51.680
<v Speaker 3>a lot of options, and it's a good problem to have,

460
00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:53.319
<v Speaker 3>but sometimes it can keep you up at night.

461
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:54.160
<v Speaker 1>It's like, what do we do?

462
00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:57.680
<v Speaker 3>You know we have we brought in Rosario, He's proven

463
00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:01.000
<v Speaker 3>he could be effective in Major League World Series MVP

464
00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:06.680
<v Speaker 3>and we got to play him, you know, and so it's, uh,

465
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:09.519
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna be tough, but but you know, again, it's

466
00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:10.240
<v Speaker 3>a good problem to have.

467
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:14.119
<v Speaker 1>It just seems to me, who's gonna play second base?

468
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:16.839
<v Speaker 1>It's that simple, because I don't think anybody's moving. I

469
00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:18.400
<v Speaker 1>don't think at the beginning of the year they're gonna

470
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:20.759
<v Speaker 1>start putting Mounsie at second and somebody at third, just

471
00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:21.759
<v Speaker 1>moving guys around.

472
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:24.720
<v Speaker 3>No, No, I don't think so either. I don't think

473
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:29.440
<v Speaker 3>I think Munsey is your third baseman. I I see

474
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:33.680
<v Speaker 3>it it shifting probably with key k If if that

475
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:36.599
<v Speaker 3>doesn't work, I could see them bringing Edmund in and

476
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:37.880
<v Speaker 3>having him play second base.

477
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:41.480
<v Speaker 1>That opens up the outfield.

478
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:44.200
<v Speaker 3>So if they decide, okay, we're gonna we're gonna put

479
00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:47.279
<v Speaker 3>Kim and start him in triple A and and start

480
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:50.559
<v Speaker 3>working Tommy Edmond at at second base, and then does

481
00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:52.960
<v Speaker 3>that open the door for Pies and outman to kind

482
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:55.279
<v Speaker 3>kind of have a shot again because the outfield spot

483
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:56.319
<v Speaker 3>is open at center field.

484
00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:00.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean that's what it is. When you determine

485
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:02.759
<v Speaker 1>who's going to play second base or how you're going

486
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:05.240
<v Speaker 1>to approach that. If Kim has sent them, then you know,

487
00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:08.920
<v Speaker 1>what they're looking for, you know, the guy that they

488
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:13.119
<v Speaker 1>would look for. I still think given the spring Rosario

489
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:16.519
<v Speaker 1>seems to be having I think that's the guy they

490
00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:20.119
<v Speaker 1>would keep. I mean, they have options on Pae as

491
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:22.480
<v Speaker 1>an outman, and somebody will get hurt during the year

492
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:24.319
<v Speaker 1>and those guys will come up, at least one of them.

493
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:28.720
<v Speaker 1>But if Rozario's actually hitting the ball and playing well

494
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:33.839
<v Speaker 1>and a veteran and a guy who's been there, I

495
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:36.200
<v Speaker 1>can't see why they wouldn't just just put him on

496
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:41.720
<v Speaker 1>the roster. Yeah. Yeah, we can't forget though. You know.

497
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:44.799
<v Speaker 3>The guy that can play multiple positions is Meggi Rote.

498
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:49.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, if they need somebody to kind of hold

499
00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:52.640
<v Speaker 3>down second base for you know, a month, month or

500
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:56.799
<v Speaker 3>two or whatever, and they're concerned about defensively, Meggi wrote.

501
00:25:57.759 --> 00:25:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Can he play second base?

502
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:02.319
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, he could play second base. He played some.

503
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:04.240
<v Speaker 3>He played some third base for him last year. But

504
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:07.640
<v Speaker 3>it's certainly he's a tremendous short stole, but definitely he

505
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:08.519
<v Speaker 3>can play second base.

506
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:11.400
<v Speaker 1>All right. So that's what's going on with the Dodgers.

507
00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, everybody's been trying to manufacture stories about, oh,

508
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:19.559
<v Speaker 1>are they as good as they say, and do they

509
00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:22.559
<v Speaker 1>have enough pitching? Really, there's not a lot you can

510
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:24.960
<v Speaker 1>say about him till the season starts. Yeah, well it's

511
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:25.960
<v Speaker 1>still some rust, right.

512
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:29.279
<v Speaker 3>Look, Uh, you know, you know my man, Blake Snell

513
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:33.759
<v Speaker 3>came in and and you know, he's gonna do what

514
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:36.960
<v Speaker 3>he's gonna do. He's gonna be, He's gonna be. It's

515
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:39.039
<v Speaker 3>gonna be many nice You watched Blake Snell pitch. He's

516
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:43.160
<v Speaker 3>gonna be unhittable, uh, for for for most hitters. And

517
00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:45.039
<v Speaker 3>in fact, I think it's it's in his first start,

518
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:47.319
<v Speaker 3>I think he had everybody oh to at one point

519
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:52.319
<v Speaker 3>he walked one or two guys. But uh, and then

520
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:54.440
<v Speaker 3>you know we're gonna have to see what Suzaki too,

521
00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:57.759
<v Speaker 3>fred Uh, see how he he shapes up. He's gonna

522
00:26:57.759 --> 00:26:59.480
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna be a learning curve for him as well

523
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:03.880
<v Speaker 3>to face major league pitching. I think he struggled a

524
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:04.680
<v Speaker 3>little bit as well.

525
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:07.119
<v Speaker 1>He has. I think it's going to be a bigger

526
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.960
<v Speaker 1>learning curve for him than it was for Yamamoto. Yeah,

527
00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:15.880
<v Speaker 1>and Yamamoto is still learning. Yeah. I think it'll be

528
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:20.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bigger learning curve for him. I don't see

529
00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:24.039
<v Speaker 1>him come out in uh, in Tokyo and no hit

530
00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:27.039
<v Speaker 1>the cops, although it would be great, but I don't

531
00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:28.000
<v Speaker 1>think that's gonna happen.

532
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's he's still got to learn, you know. Again,

533
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:36.920
<v Speaker 3>he's still got to learn and transition to to baseball

534
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:40.319
<v Speaker 3>over here, and it's going to take some time. And

535
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:43.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, I know they were helping them, trying to

536
00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:46.559
<v Speaker 3>develop and you know, another pitch and being confident with that.

537
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:50.359
<v Speaker 3>He's certainly got great stuff, but it's going to You know,

538
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:52.440
<v Speaker 3>when a guy has great stuff and he's got a

539
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:58.000
<v Speaker 3>great splitter and above average fastball, sometimes you rely on that.

540
00:27:58.119 --> 00:28:00.359
<v Speaker 3>You rely on it a lot, and you get away

541
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:02.599
<v Speaker 3>with it in certain situations. And he probably got away

542
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:06.279
<v Speaker 3>with it a lot in Japan. Guys over here are

543
00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:10.319
<v Speaker 3>gonna make you pay. They make you pay, and if

544
00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:12.599
<v Speaker 3>you don't have more than two pitches, then they really

545
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:19.920
<v Speaker 3>will make you pay.

546
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:27.079
<v Speaker 1>All right, Yankees made a decision long overdue, Highdad. Yeah,

547
00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:39.400
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get to that. Yeah, Freddy, Come on, what

548
00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:43.200
<v Speaker 1>you got, Freddie? What you're doing? Nothing? Sucking at something?

549
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:45.279
<v Speaker 1>Stop it? Ronnie?

550
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:47.720
<v Speaker 3>Only if you could hear what Ronnie said in my ear,

551
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:51.839
<v Speaker 3>Stop it, Ronnie. Don't you dare You're probably true though.

552
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Whatever. I don't know what you guys are saying, but

553
00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:59.279
<v Speaker 1>maybe it is. Now I'm watching some video somebody shot

554
00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:01.400
<v Speaker 1>here at the station this morning. That's all. That's all

555
00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing. It's funny. Okay, before we get out of here,

556
00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and because we haven't been on and our schedule has

557
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:09.039
<v Speaker 1>been kind of wait wait, wait for it real quick?

558
00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:13.200
<v Speaker 3>Are you are you still he's still busting the bad

559
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:18.359
<v Speaker 3>guys out there, cracking down on Rodney.

560
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:20.519
<v Speaker 1>We don't have enough time.

561
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:22.960
<v Speaker 2>You get the mayor impeached out there or something.

562
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:28.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he is on it. You know what, when we

563
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:30.480
<v Speaker 1>have more time, I'll tell you the story about the

564
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:32.839
<v Speaker 1>guy that came in and brought like his bodyguard enforce

565
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:38.279
<v Speaker 1>or to intimidate me. I'll tell you that story. Why

566
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:40.680
<v Speaker 1>is that doesn't even surprise me. I just could see

567
00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:41.279
<v Speaker 1>that happening.

568
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:44.759
<v Speaker 3>Rubbed somebody the wrong way so much that they came

569
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:45.720
<v Speaker 3>in with the body guy.

570
00:29:46.079 --> 00:29:47.599
<v Speaker 1>We don't have time, all right, we'll do it real

571
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:50.960
<v Speaker 1>fast anyway, listen, I'll tell the story. The Yankees are

572
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:53.880
<v Speaker 1>letting people have facial hair now. There. Devin Williams, when

573
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:56.799
<v Speaker 1>he was acquired by the Yankees from Milwaukee, went in

574
00:29:56.839 --> 00:29:58.720
<v Speaker 1>and said, I want to keep my beard, and of

575
00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:00.839
<v Speaker 1>course they had this ancient rule that you couldn't have

576
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.519
<v Speaker 1>any facial hair. Now they're allowing you to keep fatial.

577
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:05.599
<v Speaker 2>It has to be a well groomed beard. By the way,

578
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:07.680
<v Speaker 2>we can't come in look like old school Johnny Damon.

579
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I just want to make sure you point that out. No,

580
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:11.400
<v Speaker 1>you can't do that. That's fair, but you have to

581
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:14.839
<v Speaker 1>have a well groomed beard. I will talk more about it,

582
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:16.640
<v Speaker 1>because now you want me to tell you this story

583
00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:19.039
<v Speaker 1>real quick before we get off the air, please. Yeah. So,

584
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:23.519
<v Speaker 1>I antagonize people all the time, all the time, and

585
00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:25.319
<v Speaker 1>they don't know how I find out the information I

586
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:27.759
<v Speaker 1>find out, So it's kind of funny. Actually. So I

587
00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:32.839
<v Speaker 1>did this story about some money that was being spent

588
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:36.359
<v Speaker 1>by one of the city councils out here, and I

589
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:39.400
<v Speaker 1>pointed out that, my god, this one company seems to

590
00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:42.519
<v Speaker 1>get a lot of money from the city council, a

591
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:45.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of money from the city. So I looked at

592
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the company's website and it's basically nothing. They're like a

593
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:51.720
<v Speaker 1>consulting in PR firm, but they have no clients. And

594
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:54.519
<v Speaker 1>it just so turns out that the mother of the

595
00:30:54.559 --> 00:30:58.559
<v Speaker 1>person that owns the consulting company has been involved with

596
00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:02.359
<v Speaker 1>the city political for years and worked on their campaigns.

597
00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:05.440
<v Speaker 1>So what does that mean. It's like one time this

598
00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:07.759
<v Speaker 1>guy bid for a job and somebody else bid for it. It

599
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:10.799
<v Speaker 1>was the exact same job. The other people came in

600
00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:13.279
<v Speaker 1>seventy five percent lesson, they still gave it to that guy,

601
00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:15.920
<v Speaker 1>And that's misuse of public funds. I mean, that's how

602
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.599
<v Speaker 1>it works. So anyway, I'm telling the story on the air,

603
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:20.559
<v Speaker 1>and I actually mentioned his company and he calls me.

604
00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:25.200
<v Speaker 1>He's very upset, very upset. He wants to defend himself.

605
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:28.160
<v Speaker 1>He said, we put a stain on his family's name.

606
00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:32.319
<v Speaker 1>I said, well, come on in, come on in, we

607
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:34.039
<v Speaker 1>have an open seat for you. Come on in here.

608
00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:38.119
<v Speaker 1>So the guy walks in and he's probably in his

609
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:41.160
<v Speaker 1>late forties and very nervous by the way, when he

610
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:44.079
<v Speaker 1>gets here, and he shows up with this guy who's

611
00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:47.680
<v Speaker 1>probably thirty years old, built like a block of granite,

612
00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:52.079
<v Speaker 1>and came out of the movie Sprockets. And there's no

613
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:54.680
<v Speaker 1>question in my mind that this guy, you know, is

614
00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:57.400
<v Speaker 1>somebody that they employed to go out and kick somebody's

615
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:01.440
<v Speaker 1>ass if need be. So this guy walks in and

616
00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:04.880
<v Speaker 1>he brings this person with him and I said, well,

617
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:10.000
<v Speaker 1>who's that and he says, well, he's a consultant. I said,

618
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:13.079
<v Speaker 1>you're a consultant. What do you consult on? And he

619
00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:17.400
<v Speaker 1>goes data processing. I said, you're a consultant in data processing,

620
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:21.880
<v Speaker 1>but you came to this meeting because yes? I said,

621
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:24.039
<v Speaker 1>well what else do you do? He goes, well, whatever

622
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:25.680
<v Speaker 1>it is, I do it really well. And he gives

623
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:30.400
<v Speaker 1>me this really dirty look, like you better watch yourself, brother,

624
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:38.039
<v Speaker 1>You better watch yourself. I'm thinking, what is this? Where

625
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:41.920
<v Speaker 1>am I? What is with these people? You better watch yourself, buddy,

626
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:45.480
<v Speaker 1>you better watch That was exactly what you better watch yourself.

627
00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:51.240
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, I'm talking now to the guy before we

628
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:54.599
<v Speaker 1>go on the air, and the guy is like terrified,

629
00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:57.440
<v Speaker 1>And I said to him, look at me. I'm the

630
00:32:57.480 --> 00:32:59.880
<v Speaker 1>most non threatening person you'll ever meet in your life.

631
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:03.200
<v Speaker 1>What are you concerned about? He goes, my family's here,

632
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:07.200
<v Speaker 1>my friends are here, I live here. Everybody here knows me.

633
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:11.640
<v Speaker 1>And if you even make any kind of reference to

634
00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:14.759
<v Speaker 1>any wrongdoing, you have to understand what will happen and

635
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:20.440
<v Speaker 1>what will happen to me. I'm like, easy, easy, I said,

636
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you a solid I'll just loby softballs tonight.

637
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:27.720
<v Speaker 1>The way this works out here, if you upset a

638
00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:32.480
<v Speaker 1>certain group of people, they have people follow you home

639
00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:36.720
<v Speaker 1>and drive up and down the street, or they call you.

640
00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:38.799
<v Speaker 1>They wake people up at three in the morning and

641
00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:42.920
<v Speaker 1>hang up to try to scare them. I know a

642
00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:46.359
<v Speaker 1>woman and she actually died recently, but she was someone

643
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:49.880
<v Speaker 1>that used to feed me stuff. She got under the

644
00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:55.279
<v Speaker 1>skin of people so badly that they called her and said,

645
00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:58.079
<v Speaker 1>we want to have a one on one meeting with you.

646
00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:01.519
<v Speaker 1>This group of people, we want to have a one

647
00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:05.039
<v Speaker 1>on one group of meeting with you. And she goes,

648
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really comfortable with that, and no, no, no, no,

649
00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:10.679
<v Speaker 1>we're going to have a meeting. It's going to be

650
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:16.440
<v Speaker 1>at midnight in the desert. Oh my god, midnight in

651
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the desert. I'm telling you. It's like she said, she

652
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:26.079
<v Speaker 1>said to me, they were going to kill me. Then

653
00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:29.960
<v Speaker 1>I went on, where am I? What do you mean

654
00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:32.960
<v Speaker 1>they were going to kill you? And that s what

655
00:34:33.039 --> 00:34:33.440
<v Speaker 1>they were.

656
00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:36.599
<v Speaker 3>Well, Joe Petcy was going to walk around the corner

657
00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:40.639
<v Speaker 3>and you can't imagine what in the world is going on?

658
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:42.599
<v Speaker 1>What are you doing out there? Frett you know how

659
00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:45.239
<v Speaker 1>I am in the show every night now, making new
