Why did they have the Gomer up there? If he's
not going to talk, I want to hear from the Gohmer.
Speaker 2 (01:45):

Anybody I saw they were carrying it on the sport

(02:29):
word of the day. His word the word of the day.
Can you play an instrumental version of cherish or something,
because Matt we got news.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Going to get to the beach and start swimming around
in a tight Yeah, yeah, we.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Got news about the lizard woman herself. Okay, old scaly
awful Madonna.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It's just you know a lot of people have plastic
surgery that doesn't go great.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Well, that's not what's going on now, because she has
attracted a new young totem poll for her to rub
up against.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Pretty good about that.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Lizardy scaly skin. Madonna has a new man in her life,
Akeem Morris, a Jamaican born soccer player who was featured
in her Paper magazine cover shoot, which was published on
August twenty second of twenty twenty two, so quite a
(03:30):
while ago. Yeah, so she's now with him, though she
wasn't with him.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
That Akeem Harris, Akeem Morris Morris, He's a black guy
to play soccer.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Josh Popper was the last guy she was linked to.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Blues guy.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
No, that's John Popper, but very skinny now unable to
walk John Popper.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Madonna and Morris recently seen together that one time in
twenty twenty two, but now together all the time. In July,
there's photos of them cuddling. He is twenty eight years old.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
It's very young compared to Madonna Madonna, I believe is
it's got to be over sixty sixty four. There you go, now,
Madonna sixty six is going on sixty seven.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
This guy was born in ninety six and at that
point Madonna had already had before this guy was.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Actually under the techno portions.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah, she was doing Ray of Light. Yeah, or maybe
ninety six was when she was really into the Mattador thing.
I've always been in love with.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
You, right, remember that I do. Let's see ninety six.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Now, this guy did play D one soccer. Okay, he
he played D one soccer at Stony Brook for three years,
not a one and done matt at Stonybrook and then
briefly he was on the Oyster Bay United FC as
a forward in the Premier League. In the Premier League.
So uh, Madonna has a new boyfriend. We always love
(05:17):
to cover the December May romances, like especially if it's
a girl that's old and a dude is young like
Cher and her music period, right because somebody wants somebody
wants to slap and beat up in a very affectionate
(05:38):
and physical way. That flank stake and that's.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
What it is. Still share very flavorful is still Madonna,
and it's flavorful right now. If you believe Dennis Rodman
in his book who had sex with Madonna all the time,
he said, you know, I take it or leave it.
But I don't know if mister Moore rs feels the
same way about a sixty six year old.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Sugar Mama.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Ninety six was a pivotal moment in Madonna's career. What
happened in ninety six It is when she starred in
the movie adaptation of Avita that did the soundtrack Ava parone, Yes,
the Ava parone Argentina Avida was ninety six, Ray of
(06:28):
Light was ninety eight.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Ifda was like a prostitute that hooked up with the
president and then became beloved because she was a tut
that's right in Argentine, like a real life pretty Woman
sort of story, right, It would beat out in public
if Julia Robertson Pretty Woman became the first lady, and
we all knew she was a tut right, and she
would come out and be like, we love you.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
It would be like if JFK left Jackie Oh for
Marilyn Monroe, who.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Wasn't really a tut like she was a bait. Marilyn
Monroe's a bait girl, She's a baker. I read the
James L.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Rono, so I know what she Yeah, so that it
essentially I read all the Freddio test stuff. Man, I
know would have been an American version of Ava Perot.
So Avita was ninety six.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
And that was guy Ritchie was Did he do that
with her?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
No?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
No, no, it was Antonio Bendantis was in that movie
with Vita.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Terrible, terrible, Yes, I'm going yeah, the soundtrack was pretty
much all. I just have a soundtrack pulled up, not
the film. Yeah, it was terrible. I believe I went
and saw it because well back then my wife was
a big Andreloyd Webber fans. We saw anything and everything
you ended all.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
You know, Matt, how many times have you seen that
roller skate one electric. I mean fifty right, no love it,
nons he loves it? I shaild please can we just
go back to Pippin I'd miss Oliver. So good luck
to Madonna and the young Jamaican.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yes, indeed, seems like she's.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Running through like the late twenties ex athlete types right now,
you know who, let's see. Directed by Alan Parker. Okay,
screenplay by Olie Stone. Oh wow did the screenplay and
you are spot on with the Antonio bendettas the was
(08:12):
the co star, So there you go. Now. My favorite
Madonna movie era was when Warren Batty was beating it
up and it was more of like a file at then,
and that was like sex book era. Big Daddy came
and that was Dick Trace Tracy, Dick Tracy, a great film.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I'm on my way, Sean Penn with the uh Man
can Tell the thousand Lies I've learned my listen.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
With What movie was that? I don't remember. She did
the terrible movie with Guy Ritchie Swept Away.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
And then she did the one with Willem Dafoe where
she really got naked and all that.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Oh she burns it with the candle wax. Yeah, cooky
sacks and the candle wax and then Williem Defoe goes
home to his wife and he has to hide in
the shower because he's got all kinds of candle wax
birds all over his body. And right, yeah, she was.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
It for a while. That is the name of that
damn movie.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Body.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
It's a great pull. I'm sure the text though so
at close range. Yeah, Ronny, oh, is that the one
with Uh? I think Chris pen was in that as well, and.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Crisp and Glover. Hey, man, what are we gonna do?
Hey Dave, check it out, man, you want to see
what are we gonna do? Like salesman, I could do sales.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
To tell.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Man, do you think that guy like looks forward to
having sex with Madonna? Or do you think he does
it because he's like, I gotta pay the bills back
to the salt mines.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I would guess there's like a small part of him.
It's like it's Madonna. Come on, you don't think you
would have any of that if you were laying with Madonna,
you wouldn't be like, dude, Madonna after how many times?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Like a rare okay, it's four times in now he's
like back to the salt mines.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Gotta clock in with old cougar facere point. I think
that's a compliment.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I kissed your cheek and my face bounced off like
a beach ball.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh look, Matt, Oh yeah we are Those are those springs,
I think, or something like that. Those one of those
plane the ones where the propellers will flip and turn
up so they can land like helicopters or fly like
planes when they move forward.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
What are those planes doing?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Looks like they're headed out to Silmar. Where do those
blues brothers go? It's time for the.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Here's my number, number of the day.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Number the DAP is four. Every now and then we
check in with Oreo Cookies four elements and they soon
to be released. Finding a grocery store near you, fe
third Oreos PM as in post Malone, what always tired?
(11:08):
Post Malone has got a celebrity Oreo? What can we
expect from the collaboration?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Quote?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Aus, I'm quoting post Malone here like any other human being,
I've been eating Oreos my whole life. Copy that, and
this new flavor is gonna f.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Your life up in the best way.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
WHOA, that's the quote on an Oreo cookie from post Malone.
His latest release, that collaboration, the country music one that
got all the Grammy nominations with Dolly Parton and Blake
Shelton and Tim McGraw and all that. He tried to
do the same thing. He said, with the Oreo for
(11:47):
the first time.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
He's like Chris gaines On there, what is he.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Doing in Oreo history? They are using a twisted cream.
So they've done wacky flavors. Yea, this time per the
request of post Malone Sorrel, it's a swirl. So he's
gonna swirl salted caramel with short bread cookie.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Oh that will left your life for them.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
In a good way. Sure, And he said, because he
has always preferred the Golden Oreo to the standard Oreo,
he is gonna have one side of the cookie be
the standard chocolate Oreo while the other side will be
the Golden Oreo. So you got two different cookies, Golden standard,
and then inside two different creams, salted caramel and shortbread.
(12:32):
The cookies themselves will have nine different embossments, you know,
instead of just like that standard Oreo, it'll have like
a guitar pick, it'll have a picture of his truck
always tired, always tired post.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I get that a lot.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
You know.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I got up at like four point fifty this morning, right,
that's early. I walked into the yoga studio like nine,
and people are like, why did you just get up?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It's like, no, this bet up for five hours. This
is what I look like always. People always have to
say that to once you get the tattoo. The post
Loan has so we didn't have to explain himself anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
That would be Matt. I think we were wrong. I
think Shanghai Surprise is the Madonna Sean Penn move.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Oh yes, great high surprise, great call at close range.
Still it also starred Sean Penn. Yeah, no doubt so
they he was the star. No, yeah, also Chris Penn.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
You know the first movie Madonna was ever in, Matt,
come on brother.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Oh yeah, with what's her name? With our quet desperately
seeking Susan get into the group. That's incorrect. You've got
to prove vision quest correct. Yes, she's saying crazy for
you for you at the bar. That's right, exactly right
with Linda Linda Fior and Matthew Modine Andad Daphney.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Word on the street is crazy lesbian affair between Zuniga
and Madonna's No No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Kind of an unofficial sequel by the way to uh
Vision Quest was gross anatomy, unofficial because remember he was
studying because you want to be a doctor, and then
Modin goes to med school, teacher gets Lupis, dies, falls
in love with Zuniga. Also sort of in that weird
sort of range. So yeah, there's that good stuff all
(14:17):
over it. You can order if you want to make sure.
I want to make sure, I want to make sure
you get them. If you're afraid they're going to sell
out at your local grocer, you can go to oreo
dot com slash pre sale.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
If I had a dollar for somebody that told me
I look like I just rolled out of bed, like
all day people say that to me, It's like, would
you leave me alone? This is what I look like again.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
You can owe it. You can get the tattoos and
says always tired under your eyes.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
At forty seven years old, Papaekas got his face tattooed

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Thank you running corrections and retractions on me. That's what
they were saying, corrections and retraction. Not that Sean Penn
wasn't in the movie. Madonna not in the movie. Just
did the Live to Tell video with clips from the movie,
acting as though she was in the movie when that
was acting in the video. That's how they did.
Speaker 3 (15:43):

Msam is a big time actress, big time, big time
with that chin. What do you guys got We got
stew we got him, stu M. We'll be right back.
Well here from the great Andrew Friedman.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Next in Massa is with Dodger President of Baseball Operations
Andrew Freeman.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Andrew Freeman, A big day, A big smile. I know
there's been a lot of sleepless nights for you. Can
you exhale now?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
I mean there were definitely a lot of knights up
pulling our hair out and worried about, uh, you know what,
what kind of decision he was going to make. And
we felt like we put our best foot forward. It
was so many different departments and people contributing, uh to
ensure that. But obviously there are a lot of great
teams out there. And until I actually got the text
(16:57):
from show Hey that said we got him who beat
the agent to the punch, But until that moment, we
weren't sure.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
When you got that text, did you believe it? Was
it similar to the feeling you had last year when
you got the news that Otani had chosen the Dodgers
as well.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Well, A knew show he wouldn't mess with me, just
not his personality. I had to like clear my eyes
and read it again because I didn't expect it to
come from show hey, but when I saw it, kind
of did a double take and then realized what he
was saying, and just pure excitement. We had a bunch
of guys around the office and everyone was just fired up.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
We've heard so much about the courting process, about having
the dinners, about Otani and Yamamoto having a dinner with him.
How much do you believe that comfort led to him
choosing the Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Yeah, I mean I think, you know, obviously his prior
relationship with shoh and Yoshinobu definitely helps. They were able
to talk to him through this and not an salesman
type way, just be honest with their experiences and how
they think it would help Roki, which I think was
incredibly valuable. And then even beyond that, just the number
(18:13):
of guys we had either in person or send in
a video, and the video was guys saying how well
we take care of players, take care of players families
and help make guys better, And it was almost to
a man, we didn't script it with anyone, and almost
to a man, that's how all the videos came back.
(18:34):
So the reason we wanted to do. That was for
Roki as he's making this decision and he's thinking, Okay,
I like the Dodgers, I like what they're about. I
think they can help make me better. But I wonder
how it would be received in the clubhouse. I just
don't know that we had the vast majority of our roster,
either in person or on video, tell him how much
(18:56):
they want him to be their teammate.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
What's this about the home work assignment? How accurate is
that that he was asking the Dodgers and other teams
how he can get better, how he can get his
fastball better? And how comfortable were you sharing what your
thoughts would be.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Yeah, there's a couple of things in that one. When
we got the question from Joel Wolf, at first it was,
oh my god, our meetings in four days. We have
to scramble and you know, put this together. The second
was I thought it was really smart. His velocity was down.
It was stuff that we had talked about, and for
(19:35):
him to solicit opinions from other teams coming in a
speaks to his curiosity and desire to be great, but
also gives him real insight into how an organization works together,
how they think through things, what kind of technology they
have access to, which we feel like is in our
sweet spot. So we were really excited about that opportunity.
(19:58):
And we're able to talk through from training room to
weight room to mound, from our pitching coaches to our
performance coaches to our training staff, how connected they are
the reports that are generated after a start, because the
point was there were some changes in his delivery, and
our point was about how we're on things like that,
(20:21):
either endgame or the next day after a start. So
we would never let something go that long without addressing it,
and so we were able to speak to what we
saw as the differences, how we would proactively go about
addressing it. And again, I think just the way everyone
is so connected from our front office, performance science group
(20:45):
down into our clubhouse and the way everyone works so
well together really came through.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
How do you manage a pitcher like Jim? He's so unique,
twenty three years old, you got a full one sixty
two season. We saw there's an adjustment period. How do
you what vision do you have as far as the
way you may deploy him?
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Yeah, I mean for us, we need to be around
him more to have a better feel for that. We
don't have a great feel right now for how he
recovers and what is routine is between starts. It'll probably
be different here. He's still learning that, and so it's
one of those things that we're gonna partner with him
and we're gonna help him figure out what makes the
(21:25):
most sense. He's gonna have some great guys to look
around in the clubhouse and pick their brain on it
as well, and we'll figure out that in between start routine,
and then we're gonna let him go, and then we'll
figure out as we get into the year how he's doing,
how he's maintaining his stuff. But this guy is incredibly talented,
(21:48):
but there's still real development left. And his desire is
to be the first Japanese pitcher to win a SI
Young Award. He definitely has that ability. And you know,
between his ability, the curiosity, the work ethic, the determination,
and our staff, we think there's a chance for really
special things to happen.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
How many man hours have you put in trying to
scout him be prepared for this moment, Andrew, This was
not a few weeks or a few months, This was
a few years.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
Yeah, I don't know how to answer that. But I
know that Galen Carr it would have been cheaper had
he just gotten an apartment in Japan. You know, he
spent so much time over there just watching him and
obviously we couldn't have contact, but I think he could
feel our presence. He knew the teams that were there,
he knew that a vice president from the Dodgers I
(22:41):
think was there, and it was a sign of respect
but also our strong desire to partner with him at
some point and the potential upside that comes with that.
But there were a lot of people, you know who
Rokie's been on the radar for years now and then
(23:02):
even just this process, just a number of people who
stepped up and contributed, from Sue, Joe and Hunter helping
us put together videos and anime, you know, to obviously
our QA group and our performance science and our scouts
and just the whole group, Tyrone and Kristen in the
(23:24):
kitchen to talk through that. Just every different department had
their fingerprints on this, to ensure that we were putting
our best foot forward.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
That doesn't sound like and Andrew Friedman that thought he
had Roki Sazaki in the bag two years ago, three
years ago.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Yeah, you can ask my cardiologists. We definitely did not. Yeah,
I mean, there's gonna be noise. It's so ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
You know.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
The funniest for me is people who said before the
process started, oh, he's going to go to the Dodgers,
and then he went to the Dodgers, and like.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
See the fix is in.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
It's like, no, the reason you thought he was going
to come to the Dodgers were pretty compelling reasons, and
he agreed and felt like we would be the best
place to partner with our city, our fans, our ability
to help make players better friends, and familiar faces that
he already knows. There are so many reasons that we
(24:21):
felt like, and obviously we were biased that it made sense,
but we weren't sure how it was going to land
with a twenty three year old and having Yoshinobu and show, hey,
we're either going to be incredibly helpful or the exact opposite,
and we weren't sure which one.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Andrew, You've been the most aggressive GM Baseball Operations department
all off season along it feels like even though we're
just a few weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting,
it still feels like the wheels are turning and you
still feel like you could make this roster just fit better.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Yeah, I mean we talk about this a lot. We
can't find the off switch. We're always looking for opportunities
to make this team better. Sometimes it doesn't line up
and work out, sometimes it does, but it will never
stop our effort and trying to figure out things that
make sense for us to make us better.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
You clean up really nice for these press conferences that man.
I wish I could have seen you two weeks ago
see what Andrew Friedman's life was like.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
First of all, there are some pretty heavy bags under
my eyes. Second all, I gotta return this suit by six,
so we gotta get going.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Thanks a lot, and congratulations to not only you, but
your scouting department on the Pacific RIM because I know
you give them a lot of credit. You don't do
it all by yourself, So congratulations to the entire organization.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Thank you. And that's what's most special. It's just how
many different people played a part in this. And I
don't know, but I feel like if you take out
any one of those pieces, it's like a Jenga where
it just falls down. So for us to all be
in together and do this together and get to this
outcome is really special.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Well, I'm glad you got a full head of hair.
You didn't pull it all out. We'll see you in
spring training.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Oh yeah, I see that. Acknowledging his third trip, my.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Third installation, Dr Deutsch and Bosley, a big thank you.
David Veasse made our show today interviewing Roki Sasaki and
Andrew Friedman. We'll get that stuff up on the Instagram.
It'll be up on our podcast. There's the Gomer doing
the post press post presser presser. I just think he
deserves better.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
That's why he's a regular on the petro Some Money Show.

There's another fire. There's another fight. Yeah, a Lake Castaic.
There's another fire. But uh, but you know about all that.
Sweet James, got a special team. If you have any
questions about how to handle your insurance company or what
you need to do going forward, if you've been affected
at all by the fires here in southern California, doesn't

(27:53):
out if they can help an eight hundred and nine million.
That's eight hundred nine million. Now yesterday's Sweet James, Matt
and I for the second time. We're out at the
Dream Center where there's a lot of volunteering, a lot
of stuff going on. Yeah. Now, they do a great
job there and nothing bad wouldever happen there. But let's
say that I'm volunteering somewhere else, right, and I'm and
I'm handing out you know, bottles of water or whatever,
(28:18):
and like some scaffolding or something falls on my head
from the building that I'm volunteering at. Uh, Okay, do
I have to sue the charity? I mean, do you
know what I mean? Like, because there's got to be
all these volunteers out there, you know what I'm saying, Like,
that's not easy.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
No, all those all those charities are covered with policies
just for that exact reason, So you wouldn't be you
wouldn't not be taking money out of the charity's pocket there,
So you'd be you'd be.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Okay, So if I fall off the roof of the
Dream Center, the Dream Center, doesn't that they they still
continue even without me.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
Yeah, they're still going to keep going on. They're still
going to keep going on. And then I'll just beat
up there insurance company.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Well not emotionally. We won't go on. James, you know,
you know that park is never the same, James and
all on it, Like just kind of seriously, what it's
like the number one thing for people to you know,
you were being serious matters is what is the number
one thing if you can put a number one next
to with it, Like, what's the big concern for people
(29:16):
right now with their insurance companies that you want them
to keep in mind as they try to sort through this.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
You know what, there's a lot of stuff going on
right now and we're gonna get the bottom to The
insurance commissioners put some kebashing on canceling insurance policies. Hey,
these these insurance companies are snakes and it's our job
to pin them down and make campaign. We'll do that
and we've got we're good at it. We've got help
from the government here where the insurance commissioners go. So, yeah,
there's there's uncertainty, but they will be clarity soon. There
(29:43):
will be clarity soon. So yeah, they'll do some unknown stuff,
but we'll get to the bottom of it now.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
The insurance companies used to hearing from people like you,
and you're used to hearing back from them. Is it
a snarky correspondence? Are you like, hey, bitch? You know,
like when you call them, you know, is it super like?
You know what I mean? H Are you just like hey,
mother effort? Guess who's sweet?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
James?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
How does that you know because I mean, you know,
you call them a snake right here on the show.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well they get a little snaky, they do.
But you know, I've tried every tactic, but people like
to give money to people who are nice, and that's
every kind of how it's been. So I'm nice to everybody,
they're nice back, and you know the fact of the facts,
and we'll go to trial. Not so that's how it works.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yeah, they don't want to go to trial again, sweet Jeans,
I tell you that right now. Jake from State Farm
get pucked exactly right right in the balls. Hey, James,
I mean, I'm being serious when I asked this question.
I know most of my stuff is BS. But but
if I try to get you know, my insurance company
on the line, and I continuously get put on hold
(30:45):
for let's say, like two hours plus, and I record
that and I log it, Yeah, what kind of case
can I have against I say, it's not realistic for
me to have to sit on hold for two hours
and this has been a month now, and I can't
get a hold of anyone, can you, like, can you
argue bad faith in that case?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
It?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I can't even speak to anyone.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
It would be it would rise to the level of
bad faith if it affected you in a in a
way that your humans a deadline and you repeatedly tried,
it would be very hard to prove it. But it's frustrating.
It is frustrating, but there's really no main cause of
action for that. Unfortunately, there should be.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Okay, what if I call a nine seven six number
and I fall asleep and then I get a bill
for like two grains.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
I called one of those numbers once when I was
a kid, very lovely New Year's Eve, and I you know,
I called the number and it was it was so disappointing.
She didn't even say anything that cool, right, and it
put you to sleep and my my, my mom and
dad saw it, and I was reprimanded, right, and I
didn't get anything out, like nothing out of it. That's
(31:50):
like nothing.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
So can you say it was direct around you and
you messed up?
Speaker 3 (31:54):
No Tasso, No one blame him for anything, freaking angel,
but you know, it was like all it was is
like touch me again, right, touch you again.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
I thought you were going to do all this stuff,
and that's why I fell asleep. Yeah, that's why they
charged me a thousand bunch, and now I want to
sue because it wasn't that good.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I think they got us on them.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
What do you think? What do you think?
Speaker 7 (32:13):
No, no case money.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
You know, it's just people don't know what it's like
when you don't turn on the TV and see a
nine seven six commercial anymore, and.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
You're like, you know what tonight said?
Speaker 3 (32:27):

Why did they have the Gomer up there? If he's

Anybody I saw they were carrying it on the sport

(02:29):
word of the day. His word the word of the day.
Can you play an instrumental version of cherish or something,
because Matt we got news.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Going to get to the beach and start swimming around
in a tight Yeah, yeah, we.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Got news about the lizard woman herself. Okay, old scaly
awful Madonna.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It's just you know a lot of people have plastic
surgery that doesn't go great.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Well, that's not what's going on now, because she has
attracted a new young totem poll for her to rub
up against.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Pretty good about that.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Lizardy scaly skin. Madonna has a new man in her life,
Akeem Morris, a Jamaican born soccer player who was featured
in her Paper magazine cover shoot, which was published on
August twenty second of twenty twenty two, so quite a
(03:30):
while ago. Yeah, so she's now with him, though she
wasn't with him.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
That Akeem Harris, Akeem Morris Morris, He's a black guy
to play soccer.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Josh Popper was the last guy she was linked to.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Blues guy.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
No, that's John Popper, but very skinny now unable to
walk John Popper.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Madonna and Morris recently seen together that one time in
twenty twenty two, but now together all the time. In July,
there's photos of them cuddling. He is twenty eight years old.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
It's very young compared to Madonna Madonna, I believe is
it's got to be over sixty sixty four. There you go, now,
Madonna sixty six is going on sixty seven.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
This guy was born in ninety six and at that
point Madonna had already had before this guy was.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Actually under the techno portions.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah, she was doing Ray of Light. Yeah, or maybe
ninety six was when she was really into the Mattador thing.
I've always been in love with.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
You, right, remember that I do. Let's see ninety six.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Now, this guy did play D one soccer. Okay, he
he played D one soccer at Stony Brook for three years,
not a one and done matt at Stonybrook and then
briefly he was on the Oyster Bay United FC as
a forward in the Premier League. In the Premier League.
So uh, Madonna has a new boyfriend. We always love
(05:17):
to cover the December May romances, like especially if it's
a girl that's old and a dude is young like
Cher and her music period, right because somebody wants somebody
wants to slap and beat up in a very affectionate
(05:38):
and physical way. That flank stake and that's.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
What it is. Still share very flavorful is still Madonna,
and it's flavorful right now. If you believe Dennis Rodman
in his book who had sex with Madonna all the time,
he said, you know, I take it or leave it.
But I don't know if mister Moore rs feels the
same way about a sixty six year old.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Sugar Mama.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Ninety six was a pivotal moment in Madonna's career. What
happened in ninety six It is when she starred in
the movie adaptation of Avita that did the soundtrack Ava parone, Yes,
the Ava parone Argentina Avida was ninety six, Ray of
(06:28):
Light was ninety eight.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Ifda was like a prostitute that hooked up with the
president and then became beloved because she was a tut
that's right in Argentine, like a real life pretty Woman
sort of story, right, It would beat out in public
if Julia Robertson Pretty Woman became the first lady, and
we all knew she was a tut right, and she
would come out and be like, we love you.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
It would be like if JFK left Jackie Oh for
Marilyn Monroe, who.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Wasn't really a tut like she was a bait. Marilyn
Monroe's a bait girl, She's a baker. I read the
James L.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Rono, so I know what she Yeah, so that it
essentially I read all the Freddio test stuff. Man, I
know would have been an American version of Ava Perot.
So Avita was ninety six.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
And that was guy Ritchie was Did he do that
with her?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
No?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
No, no, it was Antonio Bendantis was in that movie
with Vita.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Terrible, terrible, Yes, I'm going yeah, the soundtrack was pretty
much all. I just have a soundtrack pulled up, not
the film. Yeah, it was terrible. I believe I went
and saw it because well back then my wife was
a big Andreloyd Webber fans. We saw anything and everything
you ended all.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
You know, Matt, how many times have you seen that
roller skate one electric. I mean fifty right, no love it,
nons he loves it? I shaild please can we just
go back to Pippin I'd miss Oliver. So good luck
to Madonna and the young Jamaican.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yes, indeed, seems like she's.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Running through like the late twenties ex athlete types right now,
you know who, let's see. Directed by Alan Parker. Okay,
screenplay by Olie Stone. Oh wow did the screenplay and
you are spot on with the Antonio bendettas the was
(08:12):
the co star, So there you go. Now. My favorite
Madonna movie era was when Warren Batty was beating it
up and it was more of like a file at then,
and that was like sex book era. Big Daddy came
and that was Dick Trace Tracy, Dick Tracy, a great film.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I'm on my way, Sean Penn with the uh Man
can Tell the thousand Lies I've learned my listen.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
With What movie was that? I don't remember. She did
the terrible movie with Guy Ritchie Swept Away.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
And then she did the one with Willem Dafoe where
she really got naked and all that.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Oh she burns it with the candle wax. Yeah, cooky
sacks and the candle wax and then Williem Defoe goes
home to his wife and he has to hide in
the shower because he's got all kinds of candle wax
birds all over his body. And right, yeah, she was.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
It for a while. That is the name of that
damn movie.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Body.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
It's a great pull. I'm sure the text though so
at close range. Yeah, Ronny, oh, is that the one
with Uh? I think Chris pen was in that as well, and.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Crisp and Glover. Hey, man, what are we gonna do?
Hey Dave, check it out, man, you want to see
what are we gonna do? Like salesman, I could do sales.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
To tell.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Man, do you think that guy like looks forward to
having sex with Madonna? Or do you think he does
it because he's like, I gotta pay the bills back
to the salt mines.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I would guess there's like a small part of him.
It's like it's Madonna. Come on, you don't think you
would have any of that if you were laying with Madonna,
you wouldn't be like, dude, Madonna after how many times?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Like a rare okay, it's four times in now he's
like back to the salt mines.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Gotta clock in with old cougar facere point. I think
that's a compliment.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I kissed your cheek and my face bounced off like
a beach ball.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh look, Matt, Oh yeah we are Those are those springs,
I think, or something like that. Those one of those
plane the ones where the propellers will flip and turn
up so they can land like helicopters or fly like
planes when they move forward.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
What are those planes doing?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Looks like they're headed out to Silmar. Where do those
blues brothers go? It's time for the.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Here's my number, number of the day.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Number the DAP is four. Every now and then we
check in with Oreo Cookies four elements and they soon
to be released. Finding a grocery store near you, fe
third Oreos PM as in post Malone, what always tired?
(11:08):
Post Malone has got a celebrity Oreo? What can we
expect from the collaboration?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Quote?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Aus, I'm quoting post Malone here like any other human being,
I've been eating Oreos my whole life. Copy that, and
this new flavor is gonna f.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Your life up in the best way.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
WHOA, that's the quote on an Oreo cookie from post Malone.
His latest release, that collaboration, the country music one that
got all the Grammy nominations with Dolly Parton and Blake
Shelton and Tim McGraw and all that. He tried to
do the same thing. He said, with the Oreo for
(11:47):
the first time.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
He's like Chris gaines On there, what is he.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Doing in Oreo history? They are using a twisted cream.
So they've done wacky flavors. Yea, this time per the
request of post Malone Sorrel, it's a swirl. So he's
gonna swirl salted caramel with short bread cookie.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Oh that will left your life for them.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
In a good way. Sure, And he said, because he
has always preferred the Golden Oreo to the standard Oreo,
he is gonna have one side of the cookie be
the standard chocolate Oreo while the other side will be
the Golden Oreo. So you got two different cookies, Golden standard,
and then inside two different creams, salted caramel and shortbread.
(12:32):
The cookies themselves will have nine different embossments, you know,
instead of just like that standard Oreo, it'll have like
a guitar pick, it'll have a picture of his truck
always tired, always tired post.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I get that a lot.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
You know.
Speaker 3 (12:45):

is what I look like always. People always have to
say that to once you get the tattoo. The post
Loan has so we didn't have to explain himself anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
That would be Matt. I think we were wrong. I
think Shanghai Surprise is the Madonna Sean Penn move.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Oh yes, great high surprise, great call at close range.
Still it also starred Sean Penn. Yeah, no doubt so
they he was the star. No, yeah, also Chris Penn.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
You know the first movie Madonna was ever in, Matt,
come on brother.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Oh yeah, with what's her name? With our quet desperately
seeking Susan get into the group. That's incorrect. You've got
to prove vision quest correct. Yes, she's saying crazy for
you for you at the bar. That's right, exactly right
with Linda Linda Fior and Matthew Modine Andad Daphney.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Word on the street is crazy lesbian affair between Zuniga
and Madonna's No No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Kind of an unofficial sequel by the way to uh
Vision Quest was gross anatomy, unofficial because remember he was
studying because you want to be a doctor, and then
Modin goes to med school, teacher gets Lupis, dies, falls
in love with Zuniga. Also sort of in that weird
sort of range. So yeah, there's that good stuff all
(14:17):
over it. You can order if you want to make sure.
I want to make sure, I want to make sure

was so many different departments and people contributing, uh to
ensure that. But obviously there are a lot of great
teams out there. And until I actually got the text

weren't sure.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
When you got that text, did you believe it? Was
it similar to the feeling you had last year when
you got the news that Otani had chosen the Dodgers
as well.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Well, A knew show he wouldn't mess with me, just
not his personality. I had to like clear my eyes
and read it again because I didn't expect it to
come from show hey, but when I saw it, kind
of did a double take and then realized what he
was saying, and just pure excitement. We had a bunch
of guys around the office and everyone was just fired up.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
We've heard so much about the courting process, about having
the dinners, about Otani and Yamamoto having a dinner with him.
How much do you believe that comfort led to him
choosing the Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Yeah, I mean I think, you know, obviously his prior
relationship with shoh and Yoshinobu definitely helps. They were able
to talk to him through this and not an salesman
type way, just be honest with their experiences and how
they think it would help Roki, which I think was
incredibly valuable. And then even beyond that, just the number
(18:13):
of guys we had either in person or send in
a video, and the video was guys saying how well
we take care of players, take care of players families
and help make guys better, And it was almost to
a man, we didn't script it with anyone, and almost
to a man, that's how all the videos came back.
(18:34):
So the reason we wanted to do. That was for
Roki as he's making this decision and he's thinking, Okay,
I like the Dodgers, I like what they're about. I
think they can help make me better. But I wonder
how it would be received in the clubhouse. I just
don't know that we had the vast majority of our roster,
either in person or on video, tell him how much
(18:56):
they want him to be their teammate.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
What's this about the home work assignment? How accurate is
that that he was asking the Dodgers and other teams
how he can get better, how he can get his
fastball better? And how comfortable were you sharing what your
thoughts would be.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Yeah, there's a couple of things in that one. When
we got the question from Joel Wolf, at first it was,
oh my god, our meetings in four days. We have
to scramble and you know, put this together. The second
was I thought it was really smart. His velocity was down.
It was stuff that we had talked about, and for
(19:35):
him to solicit opinions from other teams coming in a
speaks to his curiosity and desire to be great, but
also gives him real insight into how an organization works together,
how they think through things, what kind of technology they
have access to, which we feel like is in our
sweet spot. So we were really excited about that opportunity.
(19:58):
And we're able to talk through from training room to
weight room to mound, from our pitching coaches to our
performance coaches to our training staff, how connected they are
the reports that are generated after a start, because the
point was there were some changes in his delivery, and
our point was about how we're on things like that,
(20:21):
either endgame or the next day after a start. So
we would never let something go that long without addressing it,
and so we were able to speak to what we
saw as the differences, how we would proactively go about
addressing it. And again, I think just the way everyone
is so connected from our front office, performance science group
(20:45):
down into our clubhouse and the way everyone works so
well together really came through.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
How do you manage a pitcher like Jim? He's so unique,
twenty three years old, you got a full one sixty
two season. We saw there's an adjustment period. How do
you what vision do you have as far as the
way you may deploy him?
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Yeah, I mean for us, we need to be around
him more to have a better feel for that. We
don't have a great feel right now for how he
recovers and what is routine is between starts. It'll probably
be different here. He's still learning that, and so it's
one of those things that we're gonna partner with him
and we're gonna help him figure out what makes the
(21:25):
most sense. He's gonna have some great guys to look
around in the clubhouse and pick their brain on it
as well, and we'll figure out that in between start routine,
and then we're gonna let him go, and then we'll
figure out as we get into the year how he's doing,
how he's maintaining his stuff. But this guy is incredibly talented,
(21:48):
but there's still real development left. And his desire is
to be the first Japanese pitcher to win a SI
Young Award. He definitely has that ability. And you know,
between his ability, the curiosity, the work ethic, the determination,
and our staff, we think there's a chance for really
special things to happen.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
How many man hours have you put in trying to
scout him be prepared for this moment, Andrew, This was
not a few weeks or a few months, This was
a few years.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
Yeah, I don't know how to answer that. But I
know that Galen Carr it would have been cheaper had
he just gotten an apartment in Japan. You know, he
spent so much time over there just watching him and
obviously we couldn't have contact, but I think he could
feel our presence. He knew the teams that were there,
he knew that a vice president from the Dodgers I
(22:41):
think was there, and it was a sign of respect
but also our strong desire to partner with him at
some point and the potential upside that comes with that.
But there were a lot of people, you know who
Rokie's been on the radar for years now and then
(23:02):
even just this process, just a number of people who
stepped up and contributed, from Sue, Joe and Hunter helping
us put together videos and anime, you know, to obviously
our QA group and our performance science and our scouts
and just the whole group, Tyrone and Kristen in the
(23:24):
kitchen to talk through that. Just every different department had
their fingerprints on this, to ensure that we were putting
our best foot forward.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
That doesn't sound like and Andrew Friedman that thought he
had Roki Sazaki in the bag two years ago, three
years ago.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Yeah, you can ask my cardiologists. We definitely did not. Yeah,
I mean, there's gonna be noise. It's so ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
You know.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
The funniest for me is people who said before the
process started, oh, he's going to go to the Dodgers,
and then he went to the Dodgers, and like.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
See the fix is in.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
It's like, no, the reason you thought he was going
to come to the Dodgers were pretty compelling reasons, and
he agreed and felt like we would be the best
place to partner with our city, our fans, our ability
to help make players better friends, and familiar faces that
he already knows. There are so many reasons that we
(24:21):
felt like, and obviously we were biased that it made sense,
but we weren't sure how it was going to land
with a twenty three year old and having Yoshinobu and show, hey,
we're either going to be incredibly helpful or the exact opposite,
and we weren't sure which one.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Andrew, You've been the most aggressive GM Baseball Operations department
all off season along it feels like even though we're
just a few weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting,
it still feels like the wheels are turning and you
still feel like you could make this roster just fit better.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Yeah, I mean we talk about this a lot. We
can't find the off switch. We're always looking for opportunities
to make this team better. Sometimes it doesn't line up
and work out, sometimes it does, but it will never
stop our effort and trying to figure out things that
make sense for us to make us better.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
You clean up really nice for these press conferences that man.
I wish I could have seen you two weeks ago
see what Andrew Friedman's life was like.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
First of all, there are some pretty heavy bags under
my eyes. Second all, I gotta return this suit by six,
so we gotta get going.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Thanks a lot, and congratulations to not only you, but
your scouting department on the Pacific RIM because I know
you give them a lot of credit. You don't do
it all by yourself, So congratulations to the entire organization.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Thank you. And that's what's most special. It's just how
many different people played a part in this. And I
don't know, but I feel like if you take out
any one of those pieces, it's like a Jenga where
it just falls down. So for us to all be
in together and do this together and get to this
outcome is really special.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Well, I'm glad you got a full head of hair.
You didn't pull it all out. We'll see you in
spring training.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Oh yeah, I see that. Acknowledging his third trip, my.

Great.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
There's another fire. There's another fight. Yeah, a Lake Castaic.
There's another fire. But uh, but you know about all that.
Sweet James, got a special team. If you have any
questions about how to handle your insurance company or what
you need to do going forward, if you've been affected
at all by the fires here in southern California, doesn't
have to be your house burning down, call and find
(27:53):
out if they can help an eight hundred and nine million.
That's eight hundred nine million. Now yesterday's Sweet James, Matt
and I for the second time. We're out at the
Dream Center where there's a lot of volunteering, a lot
of stuff going on. Yeah. Now, they do a great
job there and nothing bad wouldever happen there. But let's
say that I'm volunteering somewhere else, right, and I'm and
I'm handing out you know, bottles of water or whatever,
(28:18):
and like some scaffolding or something falls on my head
from the building that I'm volunteering at. Uh, Okay, do
I have to sue the charity? I mean, do you
know what I mean? Like, because there's got to be
all these volunteers out there, you know what I'm saying, Like,
that's not easy.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
No, all those all those charities are covered with policies
just for that exact reason, So you wouldn't be you
wouldn't not be taking money out of the charity's pocket there,
So you'd be you'd be.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Okay, So if I fall off the roof of the
Dream Center, the Dream Center, doesn't that they they still
continue even without me.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
Yeah, they're still going to keep going on. They're still
going to keep going on. And then I'll just beat
up there insurance company.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Well not emotionally. We won't go on. James, you know,
you know that park is never the same, James and
all on it, Like just kind of seriously, what it's
like the number one thing for people to you know,
you were being serious matters is what is the number
one thing if you can put a number one next
to with it, Like, what's the big concern for people
(29:16):
right now with their insurance companies that you want them
to keep in mind as they try to sort through this.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
You know what, there's a lot of stuff going on
right now and we're gonna get the bottom to The
insurance commissioners put some kebashing on canceling insurance policies. Hey,
these these insurance companies are snakes and it's our job
to pin them down and make campaign. We'll do that
and we've got we're good at it. We've got help
from the government here where the insurance commissioners go. So, yeah,
there's there's uncertainty, but they will be clarity soon. There
(29:43):
will be clarity soon. So yeah, they'll do some unknown stuff,
but we'll get to the bottom of it now.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
The insurance companies used to hearing from people like you,
and you're used to hearing back from them. Is it
a snarky correspondence? Are you like, hey, bitch? You know,
like when you call them, you know, is it super like?
You know what I mean? H Are you just like hey,
mother effort? Guess who's sweet?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
James?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
How does that you know because I mean, you know,
you call them a snake right here on the show.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well they get a little snaky, they do.
But you know, I've tried every tactic, but people like
to give money to people who are nice, and that's
every kind of how it's been. So I'm nice to everybody,
they're nice back, and you know the fact of the facts,
and we'll go to trial. Not so that's how it works.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yeah, they don't want to go to trial again, sweet Jeans,
I tell you that right now. Jake from State Farm
get pucked exactly right right in the balls. Hey, James,
I mean, I'm being serious when I asked this question.
I know most of my stuff is BS. But but
if I try to get you know, my insurance company
on the line, and I continuously get put on hold
(30:45):
for let's say, like two hours plus, and I record
that and I log it, Yeah, what kind of case
can I have against I say, it's not realistic for
me to have to sit on hold for two hours
and this has been a month now, and I can't
get a hold of anyone, can you, like, can you
argue bad faith in that case?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
It?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I can't even speak to anyone.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
It would be it would rise to the level of
bad faith if it affected you in a in a
way that your humans a deadline and you repeatedly tried,
it would be very hard to prove it. But it's frustrating.
It is frustrating, but there's really no main cause of
action for that. Unfortunately, there should be.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Okay, what if I call a nine seven six number
and I fall asleep and then I get a bill
for like two grains.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
I called one of those numbers once when I was
a kid, very lovely New Year's Eve, and I you know,
I called the number and it was it was so disappointing.
She didn't even say anything that cool, right, and it
put you to sleep and my my, my mom and
dad saw it, and I was reprimanded, right, and I
didn't get anything out, like nothing out of it. That's
(31:50):
like nothing.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
So can you say it was direct around you and
you messed up?
Speaker 3 (31:54):
No Tasso, No one blame him for anything, freaking angel,
but you know, it was like all it was is
like touch me again, right, touch you again.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
I thought you were going to do all this stuff,
and that's why I fell asleep. Yeah, that's why they
charged me a thousand bunch, and now I want to
sue because it wasn't that good.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I think they got us on them.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
What do you think? What do you think?
Speaker 7 (32:13):
No, no case money.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
You know, it's just people don't know what it's like
when you don't turn on the TV and see a
nine seven six commercial anymore, and.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
You're like, you know what tonight said?
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Those were the days, right.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
