WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:03.359 All right, we continue on Fred Rogan Rodney Pete on 2 00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:07.879 AM five seventy LA Sports. We are giving away passes 3 00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:09.880 to the Petersen Automotive Museum. 4 00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:10.720 We will be doing that. 5 00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:14.720 This hour included four tickets to the museum, including the 6 00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:17.800 newly opened totally awesome exhibit Cars and Culture from the 7 00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.920 eighties and nineties. It is great, great, so we are 8 00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:23.679 going to be giving that away later on in the hour. 9 00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:26.519 Also in that colleennial stop buy. But now, let's bring 10 00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:28.960 on a man who always tells it exactly like it is, 11 00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:33.240 never pulls a punch, brutally honest when it comes to 12 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:36.000 the angels. It's our buddy Sam Blum from the Athletic 13 00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:37.280 and Sam, how are you today? 14 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.200 I appreciate that characterization to come good. 15 00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:40.600 How are you? 16 00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:45.719 I'm telling you, and you are really, really honest. I'm 17 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:47.000 surprised you don't duck when you. 18 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:47.520 Go down there. 19 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:50.759 Everyone's nice. 20 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:53.799 You gotta tell it like it is. I mean, only 21 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.200 you can only respect someone who tells the truth, and 22 00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.840 that's good or bad. I like it, Sam. 23 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:01.159 I appreciate that. 24 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.000 Okay, trade deadline, are they going to do anything or 25 00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:05.599 sit on their hands like they normally do? 26 00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:11.840 They'll do something. It's to me, the question is really 27 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.079 like what what's the extent, you know, like is this 28 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.760 is this Okay, you know, you trade Moncata and Tyler 29 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.159 Anderson and maybe Kenley Jansen and call it a day. 30 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:22.760 I mean, I think that the Angels hope to bring 31 00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.680 me bring Kenley Jansen back next year, which might make 32 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.599 them think twice about sell you know, trading him this deadline. 33 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.680 So yeah, I think the question is just the extent 34 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.959 that they actually sell, Like it was the same question 35 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.519 last year, and they only traded away two relievers when 36 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:39.200 I think they could have you know, gotten a lot more. 37 00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:41.359 And then also the year before that one, you know, 38 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.599 they they did not trade shoe Otani when I think 39 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.000 they would have been a franchise altering return they would 40 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.319 have gotten back. So yeah, I'm guessing they'll do something. 41 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.200 You know, I'm not even rolling out the possibility that 42 00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:56.840 they'll you know, be buyers if they have a good 43 00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.640 week here. You know that this is the way they operate, 44 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.079 like they they look they don't they look at the 45 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.159 team with their fingers crossed and hope that it all 46 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.799 works out. There's not really you know, a plan in place, ever, 47 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.719 it feels like with them, so would they if they 48 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.159 bought with a chocoy No. I think everyone around the 49 00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.000 league is praying that they sell because they have some 50 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.039 players that other teams want. But you know, I don't 51 00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:20.800 know if the Angels have the you know, requisite understanding 52 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:22.680 to understand this is the seller's market and they can 53 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.599 actually put themselves in a position to be competitive, probably 54 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:27.599 not next year, but the year after if they, you know, 55 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:28.960 are aggressive at this deadline. 56 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.000 Yeah, hey, hey, Sam, you mentioned it, you know, a 57 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.919 couple of years ago with Otani, is there still some 58 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:40.800 feelings about regrets or whatever about them not doing anything 59 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.960 with them? I know that the attitude was they were 60 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:44.719 close and they were going to make a run for 61 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.319 it and it didn't work out. But are there regrets 62 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.879 that they didn't make that deal happen and get a 63 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:52.520 boat load for him? 64 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:54.120 Yeah? 65 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.039 I mean, you know, regret is I don't know, Like 66 00:02:57.520 --> 00:02:58.159 you know, you don't. 67 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.000 Really hear people with the Angels expressed. 68 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:01.599 Like we should have done this differently. I mean not 69 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:03.319 that's probably with any team, to be honest with you, 70 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.159 but I think it's kind of self explanatory for it. 71 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:08.520 You know that you can. 72 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.240 See the results of them and probably would have gotten 73 00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:13.319 back if they traded Otani in that twenty twenty two 74 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.840 deadline the year before he was going to become a 75 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.199 free agent. You know, they could have gotten back essentially 76 00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:23.360 what the Nationals got for Monsta, which was you know, 77 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.719 James Wood, Mackenzie Gore, c j Abrams, and then also 78 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:29.360 on top of that probably Jackson Merrill. 79 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:30.000 So they could have. 80 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.479 Gotten back, you know, a team essentially that would have 81 00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:34.719 put them in position to be one of the best 82 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.120 teams in the American League right now. 83 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:37.000 But they didn't do that. 84 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:41.319 So is there is there regrets? I don't know. I 85 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:43.599 mean I think that, you know, maybe deep down there 86 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.960 might be, but there's certainly not anything that's been expressed. 87 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:48.360 I think that the team probably looks at this deadline 88 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.360 differently than that one, even though I don't really think 89 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:52.400 there's a huge difference. You know, you're looking at a 90 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.879 similar situation of a team that's maybe like not completely 91 00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.680 out of like a miracle playoff run, but you're not 92 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:00.919 really in position to make a and you know, you're 93 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:02.800 you're kind of just trying to convince yourselves that you're 94 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.080 in that position. Like I said in the article, I 95 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:08.039 wrote today like, if the Angels were it's not impossible 96 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:09.879 for them to make the playoffs this year. But I 97 00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:11.520 just don't think that it's smart for them to sit 98 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:13.360 around and hope for that. I think you've got to 99 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.360 look at your situation honestly. You've got to look at 100 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.120 it kind of, you know, with really really really critical 101 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:21.079 lens and say, do we really think we're one of 102 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:22.639 the best teams in baseball this year, one of the 103 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:24.959 teams that can make the postseason? And if they do, 104 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:26.639 I mean, you know, I just don't think they're looking 105 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.439 at it super honestly, but or at least not impartially. 106 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.560 They need to, as any front office needs to, and 107 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:34.600 I think it's important for players in front office to 108 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.279 kind of look at this stuff differently. Even coaches look 109 00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:38.959 at it differently. I mean, everyone has to be honest 110 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:40.600 with themselves. But I think players need to go out 111 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:42.680 there and try and win and you know, try and 112 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.839 make the playoffs no matter what the circumstances are. And 113 00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:46.160 I think they've done a good job of that. But 114 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.120 the front office needs to step in and be like, Okay, 115 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:50.000 we need to do what's in the best interest of 116 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.600 this organization beyond twenty twenty group to beyond twenty twenty five, 117 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:55.720 you know, and even beyond twenty twenty six. 118 00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:00.680 Maybe so Perry Venazi as a year left on his deal. 119 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:03.879 Would it be something if he walked into Artie. See 120 00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:05.360 I'm telling you how he's going to be able to 121 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:08.399 secure his employment for years to come. Already, let's have 122 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.639 a conversation, Let's go for it, let's blow it up, 123 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.879 let's move some guys, let's build for the future. 124 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:15.040 Give me three years. 125 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.480 Well, Already's not going to fire room while he's building 126 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.079 for the future. Do you think that's a solid plan 127 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:20.839 for Perry. 128 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:22.000 I don't. 129 00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:24.079 I don't really think that's how the power dynamic works. 130 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.160 Vice again, I just. 131 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.560 You know, I just don't. 132 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:32.800 I mean not listen, I'm not in those conversations between 133 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.759 those two. I think Perry's been able to sustain this 134 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.040 job by working with Laraty in a way that's more 135 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.879 effective than maybe people, maybe some of his predecessors. But 136 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:43.959 at the end of the day, I don't think I 137 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.600 think Already is gonna do He's going to be the final, 138 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:48.480 you know, shot caller here and now if he doesn't 139 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.480 want to sell. I don't think Perry could convince him otherwise. 140 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:54.160 Then again, I also don't know how Perry looks at this. 141 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.000 I don't you know, I do not know for certain 142 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.839 that Perry is in agreement with me. You know it is. 143 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:01.439 I listen at the end of the day, and I 144 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:03.319 think I said this one was on your program maybe 145 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:04.480 back early this season. 146 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:05.879 Like I don't. 147 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:08.759 I don't absolve Perry blame in this where they're at 148 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:10.759 right now. I think everybody likes to do that. They 149 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.079 like to, you know, put everything on already, and there's 150 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:14.439 a lot that should be put on him because he 151 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.160 may he like I said, like, you know, you look 152 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:17.720 back at that to the deadline two years ago. Mean, 153 00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.399 that's an already decision, and maybe if Perry pulls pulls 154 00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:23.079 the trigger on that on that trade deadline, maybe he's 155 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.160 done a much better job than we've all given him 156 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:27.279 credit for so far. But I think that when you 157 00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.160 look at the job that's been done overall, like, I 158 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.600 don't really think it's been that good. I mean, the 159 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:33.879 team has been a little bit better this year, but 160 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:36.360 I also look at it as they've you know, won 161 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:38.680 a ton of one. Running the games they're run afferential 162 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.759 is pretty bad. Uh, You know, they've they've been very healthy, 163 00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:43.079 so a lot of things have kind of broken in 164 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.120 their favor. And there's still four games blow five hundred, 165 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.839 so they've definitely improved. Some of their young players that 166 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.800 Perry has acquired, to his credit, have really improved and 167 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.240 been really solid big league players. But you know, I 168 00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:56.680 just he hasn't improven anything yet. He isn't he hasn't 169 00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.399 done anything really as shem yet and so until that happens, 170 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.720 you know, you can't really sit here and say he's 171 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.000 the guy who should you know, be calling the shots 172 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:06.519 and is doing a great job in it. I just, 173 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:08.879 you know, he's got to prove himself, and I think 174 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:10.759 the way you do that is by building and by 175 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:14.079 and by really you know, putting yourself in position to 176 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:16.319 be good long term. I mean, you know, they can 177 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.120 complain all they want about all the you know, the 178 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.399 number thirty, number twenty nine prospect rankings they get by 179 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.639 you know, the Athletic or ESPN or Baseball America and 180 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:26.759 say that those aren't accurate. But at the end of 181 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.000 the day, everybody's in agreement that their front that there 182 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.360 are farm system is really really really weak. It has 183 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.319 no depth, and you know, they've yet to show me 184 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.399 or anyone else otherwise. So I just that's the way 185 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:37.560 I look at it. They haven't really. 186 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:38.279 Proven it yet. 187 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.120 That's what we love about you said, He's brutally honest. Man, 188 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:46.519 He's just straightforward. I love it. Thanks you fellas. Like 189 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:51.439 it is, Perry ain't done nothing, he ain't done well. 190 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.879 You know, I don't want to say nothing because Jack 191 00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.040 is a great player. Logan Ohapi, I think could be 192 00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.000 a great player, like some of these guys can be 193 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:00.800 really good Nolan Shaanawall I think is you know, really 194 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:06.120 out maybe outperform some expectations, but you know, getting getting 195 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.040 a handful of good players is just not is not 196 00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:11.160 the job, right. That's if you're a basketball you know, GM. 197 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:12.639 Maybe it is that you know, you need a you 198 00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:14.560 need a full roster, you need a pipeline, you need 199 00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.560 a farm system. You know, you can't just and I 200 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:19.000 think that they just slide by the seat of their 201 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.040 pants on everything. I mean, I I hated the way 202 00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.160 they brought up a lot of their pitching prospects to 203 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.279 operate as as longman in the bullpen out of you know, 204 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.360 pure need. I mean they used sam Ald Gary, a 205 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.519 player they got in that deadline last year and had 206 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:32.639 made there are forty two pitches in an inning when 207 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:35.080 he was clearly not like able to get out of it, 208 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.080 and it was just because they needed the inning cover 209 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.360 that game. And it's just that's not how you treat 210 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:41.679 your prospects. And then he sent them out immediately after 211 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:43.279 the game. And I think it's a there election of 212 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:47.840 duty by everybody involved in that decision, and I just, Uh, 213 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.159 that's that's the that's where they lose me. I mean, 214 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:51.919 I think that they've done a decent job in certain 215 00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.759 player acquisition decisions and drafting decisions, but big picture, I mean, 216 00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:58.240 they're not They're they're just not operating I think at 217 00:08:58.440 --> 00:08:59.559 in the right way at times. 218 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.960 That being said Sam Blum, the athletic will is, Uh, 219 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:04.200 how's wrong, Washington? 220 00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:05.879 What do we know about that? Sam? 221 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:10.039 Yeah? You know I've heard he's doing well. I've heard 222 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.720 he I've heard he's back home. I don't want to 223 00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:15.159 say too much because I don't know fully, and also, 224 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:16.919 you know, out of respect for his privacy. You know, 225 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.200 it's it's you know, what's out there I think is 226 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.080 kind of what he wants out there, and uh, it's 227 00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:25.200 a tough situation. I mean, I think for everybody involved, 228 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:27.759 Like I've really grown to appreciate watch and I think 229 00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:30.120 that you know a lot of their a lot of 230 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:31.799 that fight, a lot of the improvement that you did 231 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.399 see this season, you know, is part of that culture 232 00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:36.759 that that he dealts within the within the coaching staff 233 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:38.440 and the players. And I think that's a that's an 234 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:42.480 you know, that's being missed a little bit, but ultimately, 235 00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:44.759 like he's started that foundation. I think it's been carried 236 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:46.720 over a little bit and and yeah, it's just it's 237 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.440 a scary situation. Uh, but I know that that he's 238 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:55.360 doing well and you know, just recovering, and I guess 239 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:57.120 at this point, you know, that's really all that matters, 240 00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:59.919 you know, him ever managing again, you know him can 241 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:01.799 back to the Angels or whatever it might be, as 242 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.919 a very secondary to him just getting you know, healthy 243 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.799 again and stable and able to you know, just to 244 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:10.440 live his life. 245 00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:15.519 Yeah. Absolutely, we wish him well, for sure, Mike Trout, 246 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:21.720 your opinion, he retires an angel or at some point 247 00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:24.720 do they try while he still got something nothing in 248 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:27.919 the tank to move him. 249 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.879 I apologize, I've I've I'm losing a signal, and I 250 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.600 can I'm not an understanding. I apologize. I can't repeat 251 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:34.679 the question. Maybe I don't know. 252 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:43.200 I said, can you hear me? Now? Can you hear it? Sam? Yes? Okay, 253 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:47.200 I said, uh, Mike Trout, does he retire an angel 254 00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:50.600 or does he get dealt while he still got something 255 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:51.639 in the It's. 256 00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:53.519 It's just not coming in. I don't know if you 257 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:56.919 guys are coming back or maybe I apologize. It's just 258 00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:00.279 I'm not able to to understand any of the question. 259 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:05.639 We're gonna let him run, Thanks Sam. And that is 260 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:11.240 typical of Arty Moreno, there it is. He knew that 261 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:14.039 we were talking about him, and he figured out of 262 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:17.919 way that jam his signal. That is typical, Lady Morello. 263 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:24.639 Doesn't surprise me one bit. His ears were burned, yea. 264 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.720 And he said, if you think I'm gonna sit here 265 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:29.559 and listen to that, yeah, you got another thing coming. 266 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:34.799 Damn, damn, damn. I mean, so come on already. 267 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.919 Really, although the Mike Trock question was a great one, Yeah. 268 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.200 And again, first, who's gonna want it for that much money? 269 00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:45.480 That's really a question. Yeah, that's what it comes down to, 270 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.279 because time is time is of the essence if you're 271 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:49.320 going to do something right. 272 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:55.759 Yeah, Dodgers are traveling. They've probably traveled to the East coast. 273 00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:57.480 I don't think Mookey's with him. I think Mook is 274 00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:58.600 gonna miss Friday's game. 275 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:01.759 Yeah, that's what Dave said. He's got a personal situation 276 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:04.559 that he's dealing with. So we'll see, all right, So 277 00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:07.480 I don't think he's there. Two and four in the 278 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:13.759 home stand and not pretty. Even the win yesterday not pretty, 279 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:18.919 the bullpen not pretty. So there's only one way to go, 280 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.360 and that's up. Really. I mean, they won yesterday somehow, someway, 281 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:25.639 they're still in five place, and yet they're still in 282 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:26.240 first place. 283 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.440 They're still in first place, and that speaks volumes. That's 284 00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:32.200 the whole ball game, big time. I mean, that is 285 00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:37.000 the whole ball game. They're still in first place and 286 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.840 that's remarkable. So, you know, help is on the way. 287 00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:43.559 We know that Trianon should be back soon, Blake Snell 288 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:48.600 should be back soon. Rookie Sazaki may be throwing to 289 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.440 live hitters next week in Arizona. So there is help 290 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:55.600 that is on the way. Tanner Scott officially placed on 291 00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:59.720 the IL, which is necessary for Tanner because he's hurt 292 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.919 and necessary for everybody that's watching him pitch this year, 293 00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:06.080 it is necessary that they put him on the INTERT 294 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:07.799 list and try. 295 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.120 To get right. Easy for it? It easy? Now? Am 296 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:12.279 I talking out of school? Really? 297 00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:12.519 Yeah? 298 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:16.759 A little bit? Little? What you're wishing that somebody goes 299 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:20.360 on the IL No, that's not good. No, I'm not wishing. 300 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:23.120 And it's a good thing that he's on the i L. 301 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:25.480 That's what you said. It's good for everybody that he's 302 00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:29.799 on the I L. Everybody needs a break, not the IL. 303 00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:33.279 Fred that that's not good. Don't say that. Take that back? 304 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:36.039 You know it all right? Fine, you know what I'm saying, though, 305 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.039 it's just good that he do. But take it back 306 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.960 for our audience. Take it back. I take it back. Okay, 307 00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:43.159 I take it back. 308 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:45.679 I don't want him on the I L. I don't 309 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:47.600 want anybody hurt. 310 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:49.759 But if there was ever a time to get a 311 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:52.200 little refreshed, this would be it.

I'm just saying, 313 00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:56.159 That's all I'm saying. 314 00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.399 Who wants to go to the Peterson Automotive Museum.

But we used to do is 347 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:57.960 show called whip KNOTI whip ndick? Were the cars were 348 00:15:57.960 --> 00:15:58.519 the stars? 349 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:03.159 Oh, whip nadik. You did a show called whip Nadick. Yeah, 350 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:05.440 I produced. Wait a minute, Wait a minute, I didn't 351 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:07.240 even know. I didn't even know you knew what a 352 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.720 whip was. There's a lot you don't know about me, 353 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:13.799 there it is. I guess, I guess because when Snoop 354 00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:15.840 called you the og, I guess I should have known 355 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:18.240 that you knew what a whip was. That's exactly right. 356 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.000 You should have known what a whip was. But whip 357 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.080 is a name for a car. A lot of people 358 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.799 don't know that, you know, I did it with a 359 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:29.399 guy named Kip Epps. I had this idea for a 360 00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:31.720 car show when I was at NBC, and we did 361 00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:33.879 it in English and Spanish. It was the first time 362 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.919 anybody tried that. So Whip Nadik was Southern California car 363 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:42.279 culture where the cars were the stars. And we shot 364 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:46.919 I would say, forty percent of the content for the show. 365 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:50.360 We spread it out over what twenty six weeks at 366 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:55.240 the Peterson Automotive Museum, and the stuff that came out 367 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:57.320 of there was great. And all we did on the 368 00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:00.159 show Rodney Well, show cars and talk about him. That 369 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.240 was the whole show in which people loved I'm sure 370 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:06.279 because yeah, people are gay fascinated with cars obviously all 371 00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:09.720 ways and always will be. Yeah, people really liked it. 372 00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:12.839 And that's all we did. We talked about let's bring 373 00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:15.839 it back. Let's let's bring it back, Fred Whipknotic. Whipnotic 374 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.960 was good. Let's bring it back, man, come on, you 375 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:21.640 and I let's do it. Go on. We got to 376 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:24.240 have somebody shoot the cars, shoot the cars. We got. 377 00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:26.440 You know, there's a bunch of you know now since 378 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.160 I'm you know, since the time you shot that show, 379 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:34.680 you know, the car explosion has happened. You know, there's 380 00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:38.519 so many dealerships and off brand dealerships and just private 381 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:41.880 dealerships and people that do different things with cars and 382 00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:45.319 car clubs and all that kind of stuff is exploded. 383 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:49.640 Whipnotic would be a hit today. Fred, We can think 384 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.000 about bringing it back. Seriously. Yeah. 385 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:55.160 Now here's a question. There's two cars in front of you, 386 00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:59.440 a classic, a classic car or a brand new car. 387 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.519 But the classic car is in perfect shape, the classic 388 00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:06.079 car or the brand new car. 389 00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.960 What car do you pick? Okay, it depends on what 390 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.839 kind of classic car we're talking about. Is it a 391 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:18.000 sixty four Impala that is in great shape? I tend 392 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:21.839 to have a little favor to that. Or a deuce 393 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:25.279 in a quarda you know back in the day, you 394 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:28.119 get a deuce in the quarter that is in perfect shape, 395 00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:31.160 then I might I might do that El Dorado. I 396 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:34.240 might want to do that, Fred. You know, old school 397 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:38.119 Cadillac Man, some of those old nineteen fifty sixties cars 398 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:43.119 are pretty impressive. But there is something to a you know, 399 00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:49.640 like a new car, a new you know, a new 400 00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:52.240 Escalade or a new something or a new range Rover. 401 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:54.559
