Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: A M. Six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right, so the White
Speaker 1: House finds itself for a second day in a row,
Speaker 1: trying to clarify the actions of Joe Biden. Of course,
Speaker 1: yesterday they had to clarify what he meant when he
Speaker 1: said that Trump supporters are garbage.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And today they're having to defend him biting the arms
Speaker 1: and legs of babies. They're eating the babies at the
Speaker 1: White House. And that's where we kick off Swamp Watch.
Speaker 3: Swamp is horrible.
Speaker 4: The government doesn't work.
Speaker 5: Come man, make it like a reality TV show. Bado
Speaker 5: always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C.
Speaker 4: Hey, Joe, a town all too clearly built on a
Speaker 4: swamp in so many.
Speaker 3: Ways, still a swamp.
Speaker 6: I have to watch.
Speaker 4: Markey said, drained the swamp.
Speaker 3: I said, oh, that's so hep you know.
Speaker 1: So it was a Halloween event and President Biden decided
Speaker 1: to touch his mouth to several babies at the event.
Speaker 4: Don't say it all.
Speaker 1: Photos from the event show Biden putting his mouth around
Speaker 1: the leg of a baby dressed as a chicken.
Speaker 5: That's funny.
Speaker 1: He also appeared to touch his mouth to the arm
Speaker 1: of a baby dressed in a ghost pattern outfit, and
Speaker 1: take the feet of two other babies in his mouth.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you've never eaten a ghost before. I've never
Speaker 1: eaten a baby. White House spokesperson Andrew Bates says that
Speaker 1: he was jokingly. It was a joking he done as
Speaker 1: a joke.
Speaker 5: He didn't actually mean to consume the flesh of a human.
Speaker 1: It is an odd thing to do several times to
Speaker 1: put your mouth on a strange babies.
Speaker 4: Have you once been presented with a baby.
Speaker 1: And fake bitten its leg or put its foot in
Speaker 1: your mouth?
Speaker 5: Not the foot, the foot, that's nasty. But I've bitten
Speaker 5: a good elbow arm. You've seen those things that they
Speaker 5: look like Little Michelin Tye.
Speaker 4: I have never bitten a baby.
Speaker 7: You have.
Speaker 3: It looks odd babies.
Speaker 1: Then, I've never seen an ugly baby.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry what I've never seen an ugly baby? Oh girl,
Speaker 5: I got pictures. I have had some ugly babies in
Speaker 5: my time. That's awful. Well, God doesn't make ugly babies.
Speaker 5: He only makes ugly people like you. This on the
Speaker 5: heels of Karine Jean Pierre trying to explain what President
Speaker 5: Biden meant when he said Trump supporters of garbage.
Speaker 8: Clarify he was not calling Trump supporters garbage, which is
Speaker 8: why he put out This.
Speaker 9: Is why he wanted to make sure that we put out.
Speaker 8: A statement that clarified what he meant and what he
Speaker 8: was trying to say.
Speaker 9: And so just want to make that very clear.
Speaker 5: For folks who are watching. We detailed for you earlier
Speaker 5: in the show about this garbage and costume that Donald
Speaker 5: Trump then wore yesterday at his rally in Wisconsin, which
Speaker 5: again I think was an absolute win for the Trump
Speaker 5: campaign for them to take advantage of this garbage comment
Speaker 5: and say fine, and we've already seen people lined up
Speaker 5: for his events today in Nevada and Arizona wearing those
Speaker 5: orange vests, dressed literally as garbage men, so that they
Speaker 5: can take advantage of this and try to spin this
Speaker 5: the best way for them. Now, while he was wearing
Speaker 5: his garbage men outfit last night in Wisconsin, he said
Speaker 5: something else that the Harris campaign is trying to capitalize on.
Speaker 5: Here's what he said, and my people.
Speaker 6: Told me about four weeks ago, I was saying, no,
Speaker 6: I want to protect the people. I want to protect
Speaker 6: the women of our country. I want to protect the women, Sir,
Speaker 6: please don't say that. Why they said, we think it's
Speaker 6: we think it's very inappropriate for you to say so.
Speaker 5: Why he's talking specifically about keeping criminal illeal aliens out
Speaker 5: of the United States.
Speaker 6: That's how he wants to I'm president, I want to
Speaker 6: protect the women of our country.
Speaker 3: The su.
Speaker 6: They said, Sir, I just think it's inappropriate for you
Speaker 6: to say, pay these guys a lot of money. Can
Speaker 6: you believe in? They said, Well, I'm going to do
Speaker 6: it whether the women like it or not.
Speaker 3: I'm going to protect.
Speaker 5: Them, whether the women like it or not. Now, according
Speaker 5: to the Harris campaign spokesperson Sara pinat Chatika, she said
Speaker 5: that Trump thinks he knows better than the women of America.
Speaker 5: Another spokesperson said that the comment was the defining line
Speaker 5: of the Trump campaign. Today. Kamala Harris took some questions
Speaker 5: before she made her way. I think she was in
Speaker 5: Wisconsin before she's making her way towards New Mexica, Sorry,
Speaker 5: Nevada and Arizona.
Speaker 8: It actually is very offensive to women in terms of
Speaker 8: not understanding their agency their authority and their ability to
Speaker 8: make decisions about their own lives, including their own bodies.
Speaker 8: And this is just the latest on a series of
Speaker 8: reveals by the former president of how he thinks about
Speaker 8: women and their agency.
Speaker 5: Trump has used this line before, this protector of women
Speaker 5: line before several weeks ago, and he said, as president,
Speaker 5: I have to be your protector. This was in September.
Speaker 5: I hope you don't make too much of it. I
Speaker 5: hope the fake news doesn't go, oh, he wants to
Speaker 5: be their protector. Well, I am as president. I have
Speaker 5: to be your protector. This is another one of those
Speaker 5: lines where and I think we've seen so many of
Speaker 5: them in this campaign. It's not going to ring. I
Speaker 5: don't think that changes minds of women, specifically who are
Speaker 5: already going to said they're going to vote for Trump,
Speaker 5: or if they're on the fence. I don't know if
Speaker 5: this is the thing that the Harris campaign hopes it is.
Speaker 4: It's so granular.
Speaker 1: Are at this point even if it changes the mind
Speaker 1: or gets a fraction of women to the ballot box,
Speaker 1: because they're so pissed off by it, it's worth something.
Speaker 5: They have already started some legal challenges to the voting
Speaker 5: laws that exist in a couple of different places. We've
Speaker 5: talked about Virginia. There's also in Pennsylvania some problems. And
Speaker 5: one of the issues that Trump has right now is
Speaker 5: he's using a ten thousand foot lens to look at
Speaker 5: some of the things that have shown up in Pennsylvania,
Speaker 5: claiming that their proof that there is widespread fraud, when
Speaker 5: in fact, in cases like this, it's proof that the
Speaker 5: system caught the problem and is fixing the problem before
Speaker 5: it gets to election day.
Speaker 1: Police are releasing new details about that suspect accused of
Speaker 1: setting off the incendiary devices at ballot boxes in Washington
Speaker 1: and Oregon. They say the suspect is between thirty and
Speaker 1: forty years old. Short or balding hair was seen pulling
Speaker 1: up to one of the ballot boxes in that volvo.
Speaker 1: They say he has a wealth of experience in metal
Speaker 1: fabrication and welding, and that it's very possible he will
Speaker 1: strike again at other drop box locations.
Speaker 5: Interesting they know exactly who this guy is.
Speaker 1: They all had the phrases the devices did free Gaza
Speaker 1: or free Palestine? North Korea test fired in ICBM for
Speaker 1: the first time in almost a year today demonstrating, they say,
Speaker 1: a potential advancement and its ability to launch long range
Speaker 1: nuclear attacks on the mainland US.
Speaker 4: It was meant to grab our attention.
Speaker 1: It hasn't because we're a bunch of adults dressed up
Speaker 1: for Halloween sharing a Dodger's victory, which they should have
Speaker 1: planned for. If North Korea did this tomorrow, maybe it
Speaker 1: would get a little bit more play.
Speaker 4: I don't see a lot of people talking about it.
Speaker 5: You think Kim Jong un was watching the World Series
Speaker 5: No watch proof?
Speaker 3: Got it?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Got it?
Speaker 1: Kim Jong Un called it an appropriate military action to
Speaker 1: sh you know, North Korea's resolve to respond to its
Speaker 1: enemy's moves that have threatened the North safety.
Speaker 5: One of the things coming out of DC today involves
Speaker 5: New York's politicians. A House subcommittee has referred former Governor
Speaker 5: Andrew Cuomo to the Justice Department for potential prosecution. They
Speaker 5: say that he lied to Congress about COVID. He was
Speaker 5: accused of engaging in a conscious, calculated effort to avoid
Speaker 5: accountability for his handling of nursing homes where thousands of
Speaker 5: people died of cover. Remember, they were sending people to
Speaker 5: nursing homes out of the hospitals and then infecting everybody
Speaker 5: the most vulnerable. This came from the House Select Subcommittee
Speaker 5: on the Coronavirus Pandemic, and the referral to the DOJ
Speaker 5: centers on some closed door testimony that the former governor
Speaker 5: gave to the committee when he said that he had
Speaker 5: not reviewed a state Health Department report that deflected blame
Speaker 5: for the deaths of people in those New York sing
Speaker 5: homes in early twenty twenty. He's been one of those
Speaker 5: guys who caught a lot of flak for the way
Speaker 5: that that was handled in the state of New York.
Speaker 4: Do you want to hear about a haunted road?
Speaker 5: Is there such a thing?
Speaker 1: Yes, there are several across this great country of America,
Speaker 1: like in Chicago Archer Avenue. Deep in the heart of
Speaker 1: Chicago lies an old road known as Archer Avenue that
Speaker 1: is said to haunt all of its visitors. Legend has
Speaker 1: it now. Many decades ago, a young woman named Mary
Speaker 1: was walking home from a school dance when she was
Speaker 1: tragically killed in a hit and run.
Speaker 4: Still don't know who did it.
Speaker 1: Mary's parents sadly buried their little girl in Resurrection Cemetery.
Speaker 1: Resurrection Cemetery I bet you can tell where this tale
Speaker 1: is going. Many years have passed, the crime remains unsolved. However,
Speaker 1: the tale still haunts residents because for decades.
Speaker 4: Story after story after story.
Speaker 1: Of drivers near the dance hall picking up a young
Speaker 1: hitchhiker donning a party dress.
Speaker 4: What She remains.
Speaker 1: Silent until she reaches the cemetery, at which she demands
Speaker 1: to be let out of the vehicle. She then vanishes
Speaker 1: into thin air. Would you pick up a little girl
Speaker 1: that was a hitchhiker in a prom dress?
Speaker 5: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: You'd probably pull over, call someone and wait till the
Speaker 1: police got there. You don't want to be in the
Speaker 1: car with a strange girl in a prom dress.
Speaker 5: Not fifty year old me, No, No, sixteen year old
Speaker 5: me maybe, but not fifteen year old me or fifty.
Speaker 9: Year old sorry?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 4: What age do you cut that off? Eighteen thirty eighteen? Good,
Speaker 4: good answer?
Speaker 5: On the birthday eighteen.
Speaker 4: I have more scary roads to tell you about.
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know if I my heart can handle them.
Speaker 4: Listen to this one, okay.
Speaker 1: While riding through Highway sixty six bridge in Stevens Point, Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: drivers insist you can spot the bloody ghost of a
Speaker 1: bride killed on her way to her wedding. If you're
Speaker 1: having trouble finding her, just look in your rear view
Speaker 1: mirror at your back seat. There it is said you
Speaker 1: will find the bloody bride staring at you as you
Speaker 1: try to keep your eyes on the road. That didn't
Speaker 1: scare you, not as much as the first one. The
Speaker 1: girl in the car. Yeah, yeah, because of the legal implications.
Speaker 1: If somebody saw you with a strange girl.
Speaker 4: She's got to do is make one allegation and then
Speaker 4: I'm just upscrewed.
Speaker 1: Right, all right, tech Talk takes on a spooky feeling today.
Speaker 3: The machines are getting smarter.
Speaker 9: This is tech Talk, brought to you by Skynet.
Speaker 1: Mark Saltzman nailed his Halloween costume, addressing like, what was
Speaker 1: the name of the character Al Bundy to call him
Speaker 1: Ed Bundy.
Speaker 9: Yeah, isn't that a serial killer?
Speaker 4: That's Ted Bundy.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Buy you and your wife look incredible.
Speaker 9: Thank you. Yeah. So we chatted about this last Thursday.
Speaker 7: For you know, nothing screams technology then Halloween costumes.
Speaker 3: Whatever.
Speaker 9: But I'm happy to uh to uh to go there.
Speaker 7: But yeah, so I just shared with your producers some
Speaker 7: photos from last Saturday night, we have an annual Halloween
Speaker 7: party at our place. So yeah, we were Peggy and
Speaker 7: al Bundy and then funny enough. Okay, it's a thirty
Speaker 7: year old TV show. What are the odds that the
Speaker 7: first couple that walked into our party were also Nikky
Speaker 7: and a Bundan? Yeah, like seriously, out of all the
Speaker 7: costumes out there. But yeah, we had some fun with it,
Speaker 7: and we had some really good ones. If you want
Speaker 7: to take a look over your listeners want to check
Speaker 7: it out. These are on Facebook. I didn't put these
Speaker 7: on X but it's Mark Saltzman m A R C
Speaker 7: s A L t Z M A N and you'll see. Yeah,
Speaker 7: my buddy who was Trump was great and you have
Speaker 7: the blood bloody.
Speaker 4: Here friends all nailed it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, right, we have fun. It's good time. And
Speaker 7: he says Halloween it was just for kids.
Speaker 5: Can I tell you I love that dramatic lighting too?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think I did too. That's very relaxing.
Speaker 7: Well, thank you, thank you. Yeah, we had some lights
Speaker 7: and some a fog machine. I bought it off Amazon
Speaker 7: for like forty bucks. It was awesome and it has
Speaker 7: colored lights with it too, very cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah, my Amazon last night, as we were sitting down
Speaker 5: for the World series, my wife and I had a
Speaker 5: discussion about downloading the latest iOS eight. I mean, listen,
Speaker 5: we have some pretty hot discussions in our house.
Speaker 7: Operating system updates definitely is iOS steamy and I I'm
Speaker 7: religious about as soon as it tells me that there's
Speaker 7: a note, I'll even check when it doesn't tell me
Speaker 7: there's a notification to see if there are any updates
Speaker 7: in the general iOS for whatever phone I'm using, and
Speaker 7: I download them right away.
Speaker 3: Is that good?
Speaker 1: Bad?
Speaker 3: It's good, it's good.
Speaker 7: Most people have that little red one by their settings
Speaker 7: right which means they have not downloaded. The general rule
Speaker 7: of thumb is to set it to automatically update or
Speaker 7: remember to do it yourself. The only caveat is that
Speaker 7: if you have a phone that's a few years old, like.
Speaker 9: I'm going back, you know, four or.
Speaker 7: Five, six years old, it is possible that the operating
Speaker 7: system update can slow things down. But it's the lesser
Speaker 7: of two evils because when you do an iOS A update,
Speaker 7: it will squash bugs, including security vulnerabilities that they find.
Speaker 7: The engineers find them, and so it's better to be
Speaker 7: protected and have your device run out a little bit slower,
Speaker 7: but generally the rule of thumb is yes. And it's
Speaker 7: not just for your phone, but for your lap top.
Speaker 7: Anything that has an operating system, you should have it
Speaker 7: updated because they add new features, they fix problems, and
Speaker 7: in this case with Apple it's called iOS eighteen Dot one.
Speaker 7: It has all the new Apple Intelligence features or AI.
Speaker 7: You know, there's spin on AI instead of artificial intelligence.
Speaker 7: The company calls it Apple Intelligence. So I wrote a
Speaker 7: piece for Reader's Digest that was published yesterday on five
Speaker 7: reasons to upgrade, aside from the fact.
Speaker 9: That you should always.
Speaker 7: But if you've got iPhone fifteen or sixteen, you can
Speaker 7: take the iPhone fifteen pro, I should say, and pro max.
Speaker 7: Those are last year's more advanced models, or any of
Speaker 7: the newer iPhone sixteen models. Then you could take advantage
Speaker 7: of the new things like the hearing aid feature. If
Speaker 7: you have AirPods pro too, you can turn those into
Speaker 7: hearing aids of sorts like regular hearing aids. They can boost,
Speaker 7: of course, conversations and other sounds around you, and it.
Speaker 9: Works really well.
Speaker 7: It's for those who have mild to moderate moderate hearing loss,
Speaker 7: so not for someone that needs like you know, real
Speaker 7: dedicated hearing aids. But it's pretty cool recording phone calls.
Speaker 7: You actually don't need a new iPhone for this feature. Now,
Speaker 7: when you after you do the update, Gary and Shannon,
Speaker 7: when you're on a phone call that you want to save,
Speaker 7: maybe it's with a loved one, or if you're a
Speaker 7: journalist like me and it's great to record interviews, then
Speaker 7: you will see a record button now on the top
Speaker 7: left corner. During a call, it then gives it tells
Speaker 7: the person that you're chatting with that you're recording both
Speaker 7: visually and verbally. You're going to hear it, and then
Speaker 7: it'll be saved in your note section. If you have
Speaker 7: one of the newer iPhones with AI or Apple Intelligence
Speaker 7: that it'll also transcribe that phone call for you if
Speaker 7: you find that handy for work purposes.
Speaker 3: Great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, where was this twenty years ago when we were
Speaker 5: reporters out in the streets.
Speaker 7: I know, right, So yeah, it's a great update. Smarter
Speaker 7: SERI now, so even if you stumble, like if you say, hey,
Speaker 7: take me to one two three Smith Street, I mean
Speaker 7: Smith Avenue, it'll now know you meant Smith Avenue. Like
Speaker 7: it's getting more intelligent and more conversational. Another reason to
Speaker 7: update our writing tools. If you're writing messages in mail, messages, notes, pages,
Speaker 7: or any third party app like a social media post
Speaker 7: you're about to post, then when you're writing it, you
Speaker 7: tapped the little arrow on top of the keyboard and
Speaker 7: it'll suggest different ways to write what you're writing, and
Speaker 7: you can even select tone like friendly, professional, concise, and
Speaker 7: it'll write it for you using AI. And then finally,
Speaker 7: iPhone's a bit late to the game on this one
Speaker 7: because Android's had it for a bit, but it'll fix
Speaker 7: up your photos by removing unwanted objects. So you've got
Speaker 7: someone ruining your perfect shot on a beach with a sunset,
Speaker 7: and there's a guy with a speedo that shouldn't be
Speaker 7: wearing one behind you or your partner.
Speaker 9: You get, Well, it's always the people, you know, it's
Speaker 9: like a nude beat.
Speaker 7: It's like always the people you should not be on
Speaker 7: a nude beach or where you know, sorry I shouldn't
Speaker 7: go there, But it's always like the people that you really.
Speaker 9: Maybe want to be where, you know, all.
Speaker 3: Right, I've never been to a nude beach.
Speaker 9: Well, I'm just saying.
Speaker 7: I'm just saying that people who wear the revealing outfits
Speaker 7: are often maybe they shouldn't be, but so can Now
Speaker 7: it'll automatically remove those people behind you, or it'll at
Speaker 7: least highlight it and you can tap to remove it.
Speaker 9: It's up to you.
Speaker 7: So lots of great stuff in iOS eighteen dot one.
Speaker 7: And don't send me hate mail for suggesting that if
Speaker 7: you don't have an amazing body, that you should not
Speaker 7: wear a bathing suit.
Speaker 5: I wasn't going there, but you know, the advanced move
Speaker 5: would instead of just taking those people out of the picture,
Speaker 5: would just add a bathing suit to them.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that would be.
Speaker 7: That's really advanced AI for sure. One of these days AI.
Speaker 5: Is there a way for me if even if I
Speaker 5: did have the fifteen pro or Promax or one of
Speaker 5: these where it is getting Apple Intelligence, is there a
Speaker 5: way for me to generally just turn it all off
Speaker 5: so it doesn't I don't you know?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 9: I like it's in the options.
Speaker 7: If you don't want, if you have no interest in
Speaker 7: AI at all, then you would just go into the
Speaker 7: options and uh not, Well, you actually have to apply
Speaker 7: or on a waiting list for the Apple Intelligence features,
Speaker 7: which I wrote in the article. But I feel to
Speaker 7: mention just now, so when you do the software update,
Speaker 7: you would go to the settings and then the area
Speaker 7: is called Apple Intelligence and Siri instead of just Serio,
Speaker 7: it's now called Apple Intelligence Series, and you would tap
Speaker 7: to say that you want to join the waitlist. If
Speaker 7: you are not interested in AI at all, then you
Speaker 7: do not need to join the weightlist.
Speaker 9: Just don't use it.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Mark, I'm watching this video of this
Speaker 1: Dodgers fan who is lighting a firework and blue his
Speaker 1: fingers off.
Speaker 9: Ew.
Speaker 4: I've watched it like three times over and over.
Speaker 5: They would never do that if the Blue Jays won,
Speaker 5: they would never do that.
Speaker 1: He's like bleeding out on the street with his fingers
Speaker 1: blown off.
Speaker 9: Oh that is not Are you watching this multiple so?
Speaker 5: He could still he can still catch that fly ball
Speaker 5: better than Aaron Judge?
Speaker 4: Oh damn too much? Did he cover first? Did this
Speaker 4: guy cover first?
Speaker 5: Oh gosh, Mark, Thank you, Mark, thank you for the
Speaker 5: nude beach visual.
Speaker 9: Yeah, sorry for the visual there all right?
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 5: Mark's article appears in Reader's Digest More these Must Try
Speaker 5: features on iOS eighteen point one.
Speaker 4: You have to see this video.
Speaker 5: Happy Halloween, Mark, We appreciate you, Thank you so much.
Speaker 5: Fun you eye Mark Saltzman there. Make sure you follow
Speaker 5: Mark on Twitter. M A r C h M r
Speaker 5: C underscore.
Speaker 1: Fingers are gone and there's just blood everywhere, and he's
Speaker 1: so in shock that he doesn't even realize that he's
Speaker 1: blown his fingers off.
Speaker 5: And the dripping of the blood all over his brain,
Speaker 5: dripping of the blood. That's a great story, though.
Speaker 4: Was it not?
Speaker 7: Is it?
Speaker 3: Is it really great?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 4: The Fournit or the forty nine ers. I'm trying to
Speaker 4: will it into existence.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers won the World Series, and I thought it
Speaker 1: would be cool to set off a firecracker and a
Speaker 1: blue a hand up.
Speaker 2: Well, hey, Gary John down in Orange County, the guy
Speaker 2: that was just on talking about how Shannon's instigating setting
Speaker 2: fires on buses stuff like that. If his voice was
Speaker 2: one octave lower, if that's the right way of saying it,
Speaker 2: I was expecting him to say, wait a minute, was
Speaker 2: she a great, big fat person from silence?
Speaker 3: Lamb oh wait a person?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's a good call.
Speaker 1: Fred Rogan has joined us, And Fred, you said it
Speaker 1: was going to be a gentleman's sweep and it almost was.
Speaker 1: And you were going to be no stradamis and I
Speaker 1: was going to listen to everything that you said from
Speaker 1: there on out.
Speaker 3: It was a gentleman's sweep. Yeah, so that was it.
Speaker 5: Somebody else said that that was the definition of the gentleman.
Speaker 4: Oh well, I had.
Speaker 1: No idea that that's what that meant. I thought you
Speaker 1: meant that it was this wee we were just going
Speaker 1: to be nice. Yeah, this is what happened. I don't know,
Speaker 1: this is what This is what happens when I only
Speaker 1: watched Opening Day and the playoffs, as I is solid
Speaker 1: the nuances of baseball terminology.
Speaker 3: No, I nailed it.
Speaker 4: You did nail it.
Speaker 3: I nailed it from the beginning. I am indeed. I thought,
Speaker 3: really when they beat the Padres eight won the World Series, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I thought the Padres were the second best team in baseball.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers had gone through enough adversity this year, which
Speaker 3: they have not in past years.
Speaker 4: Now, you got here in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 3: One, eighty eighty, who's counting, Okay.
Speaker 1: But what a magical time for you to remember all
Speaker 1: of the nineteen eighty one glory.
Speaker 3: Well, the the eighties were the best sports decade probably
Speaker 3: in LA history, and I was really fortunate. It's funny,
Speaker 3: you know, Freddie Freeman. I was there Friday night when
Speaker 3: he hit the Grand Slam. I took my family and
Speaker 3: I was there. Kirk Gibson in eighty eight hit that
Speaker 3: ball to the right field pavillion.
Speaker 4: So did you, I mean chills, exponential chills.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I just thought it was such a great series
Speaker 3: for the Dodgers. And Ned Coletti, the former GM who
Speaker 3: comes on our show all the time. You know, he
Speaker 3: talks about being on the big stage in front of
Speaker 3: the lights, and he said, you watch as games go on,
Speaker 3: and he said it all year long. The other team
Speaker 3: will start to make mistakes and the Dodgers will capitalize.
Speaker 3: He said, you just watch, because that's how the Dodgers
Speaker 3: are built. You make a mistake, they're going to take
Speaker 3: advantage of it. And last night in the fifth inning,
Speaker 3: the Yankees made three mistakes, three enormous mistakes, and when
Speaker 3: the Dodgers tied the game, then they in essence had won.
Speaker 3: You were just wondering when it was going to happen.
Speaker 3: So the Yankees certainly contributed to their own demise. But
Speaker 3: given what the Dodgers went through this year, they should
Speaker 3: have won it. They should have And what's so funny
Speaker 3: and I laugh about it on our show all the time.
Speaker 3: Going into the season, on paper, to most people in
Speaker 3: this country, major League Baseball went as scripted. The team
Speaker 3: with the highest payroll and the best players, and they
Speaker 3: went out and bought everybody won, and we hate you
Speaker 3: for that. Well, upon further evaluation, that script took me
Speaker 3: any plot turns and twists.
Speaker 4: Like the pitching alone, Well, they had no pitcher exactly.
Speaker 3: They ran out of pitching all their guys got.
Speaker 1: Last night, to my husband when they were down five
Speaker 1: to nothing, I'm like this, all this Cinderella talk about
Speaker 1: the bullpen and about how they're able to do it
Speaker 1: without you know.
Speaker 4: These ace pitchers. It's all great to talk about, but
Speaker 4: you need pitching. And then I ate my words.
Speaker 3: Wait a minute. You know, in the fifth inning last night,
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts, who has done a masterful job, everybody wanted
Speaker 3: him fired.
Speaker 4: I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 3: Everybody wants him in the Hall of Fame, right right.
Speaker 4: It took it. It was a one to eighty.
Speaker 5: During that postgame celebration last night, John Smoltz said that
Speaker 5: Dave Roberts did a masterful job all through the playoffs
Speaker 5: in terms of his management of the team that is
Speaker 5: not the same. I mean for Dodgers fans. I think
Speaker 5: there was a lot of frustration in each of those
Speaker 5: series to think.
Speaker 4: What's he what is he doing?
Speaker 5: Why is he doing this again?
Speaker 3: Gary, It's so funny when we take calls, and during
Speaker 3: the playoffs we take calls at least once a show,
Speaker 3: so we'll take them today as well. And it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: I don't care if they won twenty three to nothing
Speaker 3: the Dodgers. Two people are going to call up and
Speaker 3: say Hi, fire Dave Roberts. People just call up and
Speaker 3: go fire Dave Roberts. If you look at what he
Speaker 3: did this year, it was magnificent. And you have to
Speaker 3: understand from when he started to where he is now,
Speaker 3: he has grown and he has learned. And last night
Speaker 3: in the postgame when he's talking on stage, and I
Speaker 3: was actually listening on the app driving in from the desert,
Speaker 3: so I listened on the APP last night, so I
Speaker 3: couldn't see him. To me, he sounded a lot like
Speaker 3: Lasorda with that enthusiasm and you know, you want to
Speaker 3: parade and this is for all of us. And I
Speaker 3: thought he has grown into a pretty damn good manager.
Speaker 3: He really has, and I know people get frustrated with him.
Speaker 3: He's done a very very good job.
Speaker 4: What a gem we serious.
Speaker 5: I imagine that the conversation that he had with the team,
Speaker 5: by the way, before Game five was you can never
Speaker 5: count out a team, even when they're down three to zh.
Speaker 5: You know, he's talking to the Dodgers to say, we're
Speaker 5: up three to zero. We gave up that game of
Speaker 5: the game four and eleven to four loss. Okay, that's fine,
Speaker 5: but we cannot let up. We can't think of it
Speaker 5: in terms of we have three more games to win one.
Speaker 3: You have got to do it right away.
Speaker 5: Because his team, back when the Red Sox and the
Speaker 5: Yankees were playing in the ALCS, his team was that
Speaker 5: team that came back from down.
Speaker 4: That's a great point, an excellent point.
Speaker 1: I I when I saw Vassay's interview with Max Munsey
Speaker 1: after the was it the Mets series? I thought, Padres,
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, this is a team that's going
Speaker 1: to go the distance because of what he said about
Speaker 1: how the team came together.
Speaker 4: And I mean, that's the X factor really with this.
Speaker 3: And also when you saw that, you knew that Max
Speaker 3: had to go get his mouth washed out with soap
Speaker 3: from his mom and dad. Give him what he said
Speaker 3: live it was, you know a little off color.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean they just don't give an f.
Speaker 3: I've heard that. Yeah, yeah, I've heard that. I've heard that. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Nobody wants to talk about the Yankees today, but I
Speaker 5: want to ask about Aaron Boone was in tears last night.
Speaker 5: Wasn't kind of right, wasn't in describing what was going
Speaker 5: on because he felt bad that these guys. I mean, this,
Speaker 5: this season that the Yankees taught them how to play
Speaker 5: defense was ruined by that fifth inning that was. I mean,
Speaker 5: had they lost the game, Let's say even they win
Speaker 5: that game last night and then win, say for you know,
Speaker 5: lose tomorrow night and the Dodgers take the series. That
Speaker 5: losing that game that way.
Speaker 4: How does Garrett Cale live with himself?
Speaker 5: Well, how does Aaron judge? How does Anthony Volpia? I mean,
Speaker 5: all these guys had these things that I mean, Glaver
Speaker 5: Torre is in a base running mind fart where he
Speaker 5: almost wiped that run off the board by going into
Speaker 5: second on that fly ball.
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, how about the pitcher They got a
Speaker 3: bark called on him.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, the disengagement.
Speaker 3: Yeah, saw it twice. You can't do it again, balk Right,
Speaker 3: it's a guy in score positions.
Speaker 5: He could do it the third time. He's just got
Speaker 5: to guarantee that he gets the guy out.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well that didn't work. And then there was Catcher's interference. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So we've got the parade tomorrow.
Speaker 1: It was very weird. Tomorrow, Praye tomorrow. Fernando's birthday yep.
Speaker 1: On Saturday, yep, and Friday it is tomorrow. It's it's
Speaker 1: the first. Oh, I'm sorry, I have my days wrong.
Speaker 1: So it's Fernando's birthday on the parade.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 5: And if they had a Game six, it would have
Speaker 5: been his birthday on that game.
Speaker 1: Fred, you're will be speaking at the parade from the buses, right.
Speaker 3: Uh me? Yeah no, But I do have to tell
Speaker 3: you years ago they instituted a rule because of me
Speaker 3: in this city.
Speaker 5: Tell me it's okay, Fred Rogan.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it started when the Lakers won the championship and.
Speaker 4: Uh, burn a bus?
Speaker 3: Did your friend and burn a bus or blow your
Speaker 3: fingers off? Champ not didn't do that either. Channel nine
Speaker 3: was the rights holder, So you know, if you're the
Speaker 3: rights holder, you supply a feed to the other stations.
Speaker 3: But as the rights holder, you have microphones and cameras
Speaker 3: on top of the bus, and you can have people
Speaker 3: on the bus talking to the players, I mean, and
Speaker 3: that's what you get because you're paying a right speed.
Speaker 3: So Channel four we weren't the rights holder, and here
Speaker 3: come the buses, and I, in my youth, would run
Speaker 3: alongside the bus while anchoring the coverage. I would just
Speaker 3: run so that I thought to myself, well, helen running
Speaker 3: alongside the bus, I'll just jump on the bus. So
Speaker 3: now I'm on the bus. Yeah, but I'm not supposed
Speaker 3: to be on the bus. So you see me standing
Speaker 3: at the top of the bus and I'm talking to people,
Speaker 3: and it's on Channel four.
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to be there because of Channel nine's rights,
Speaker 1: that's right.
Speaker 3: And everybody got really mad at me. So they instituted
Speaker 3: this rule, and if you asked Michael roth down at
Speaker 3: Crypto dot com Arena from AEG, it's called the Rogan rule.
Speaker 3: And every time they have a parade they institute the
Speaker 3: Rogan rule, which is no one is allowed to jump
Speaker 3: on the bus. So I will not be addressing anybody
Speaker 3: from the bus because I'm not allowed to jump on
Speaker 3: because I did it in the past.
Speaker 5: Well, in our opinion, you should have your own bus.
Speaker 3: You damn right.
Speaker 1: You did what every good, great news reporter should do, right,
Speaker 1: jump on the bus.
Speaker 3: I didn't I know there were any rules there weren't.
Speaker 1: I make my own because you're Fred f and Rogan,
Speaker 1: damn right, and you don't give an f.
Speaker 3: I don't. I have to go do my show now,
Speaker 3: all right?
