Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, we're three fun fun fact you know, summer people
outside sitting on a nice green belt, enjoying the warm
weather and maybe a nice ocean breeze. Did you know
the reason grass makes you itch is because grass is
actually serrated and the edges are cutting you. Yeah, you're
(02:45):
not itching, you're dying. Well, I mean you roll around
in that grass, the next thing you know, it's death
by ten trillion.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, I've I've been shirtless on the grass for hours
and I can't believe I've survived. I'm gonna bleed out.
I'm actually allergic to some grass. So playing footballs smooth?
You mean like marijuana?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Marijuana grass?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Sometimes it makes me sneeze. All right, it is time
for the quick hits. Everybody ms quick hits.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I'll make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Oh yeah, I'm my skin. Dodgers are fifty three and
thirty two, first place atop the nl West, seven game
lead over the Podres Lawyers, seven and a half game
lead over the Giants. The Dodgers are off tonight and
they host the White Sox, who really do suck starting
tomorrow night. The Angels cannot get over five hundred, but
(03:47):
they're right there.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
They're playing better.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
They're forty one and forty two a lot of people
at the Big A over the weekend. Third place in
the AL West. Who is there at the Marlins, the
Curly Doves. They're two games back in the al wildcar
race against the Atlanta Braves.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Is where they're going to be tomorrow? Well, you get
all the Ted Turner types out there to support the Braves.
You know, he's got a big contingency.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Pretty sure he's out. I'm pretty sure that he.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Ustill going strong.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Yeah, I don't think he owns a team. All Star
voting Phase two has started. It goes until nine am
on Wednesday. In Phase two, the guys from outcast Own,

chin class too, with those two chicks with the pantone.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
So we got Mookie, we got Munsie, Mookie, Edmund Freddie
Will the entire infield.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Tay Oscar Pa has hi bias he's better than everybody.
He actually is. Lebron James, we talked about it last hour,
opting in to his final year, and uh Rich Paul
told the ESPN that he wants to see what the
Lakers rostered looked like before making a decision about anything
(05:18):
past this.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Just adding on what we were talking about. Test drive
the Lakers in twenty twenty six. Yeah, there's there's nothing
to test drive. You're forty one years old, making fifty
two million and a half dollars. You opted in. There's
no there's nowhere to go from here, kind of like
going on a dating show at eighty five. I'm demanding
to trade. You make fifty three million dollars. We can't trade.
(05:41):
Nobody wants you. It's too expensive. There's nothing we can
do here.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
You are an albatross.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
You opted in. You understand how this works. You're you're
an anchor to anybody's success. Yeah, Dow, Yeah, you demand success.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I'm I'm opting in. I'm tied to you for the
next year, but I'm watching you, and I might demand
the trade. Nobody will be able to consummate a trade
because I make fifty three million dollars, but I might demand.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
It, might do something. I might say something, I might
leak something through my agent. The Lakers have lost Dorian
Finney Smith a four year, fifty million dollar deal to
the Houston Rockets.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Whoa you know they lost Dorian Finney Smith.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Perhaps Ryan Hollins picked him up at the airport the
city of.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Sero Hollins because they couldn't pay him the fifty three
million bucks. Because there's certain somebody opted in to the
fifty three million dollar contract. Yet he's probably upset because
he was their best three and D player and someone
who could actually play perimeter defense. But they couldn't afford
him because somebody didn't want to opt out and take
(06:44):
like a forty million dollar a year concept.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
That rookie they took in the second round. Oh, that
got Arkansas guy is going to play all kinds of D.
The Lakers need a center to DeAndre Ayton, who's like
the Greg Odin of this millennium, is going to be
a free agent deepest of the forehead wrinkles when his
buyout frees him up from the Blazers. The other Lakers
center targets include x NBA rebounding champ Clint Capella Oh,
(07:09):
that guy's so good. And the ageless ex Laker big
man brook Lopez.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh yeah, in the D'Angelo Russell deal, they got brook
Lopez and the draft pick that would become Kyle Kuzma
and then they let him go.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
So this roster's shaping up. Lebron's gonna love it. Jabron
Lames is gonna love this ross. I'm opting in and
I better see improvements. Well, we can't sign Dorian Finney
Smith because you opped it in. Yeah, and one of
your players is your kid who sucks.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yes, you're welcome for that. By the way, we drafted
your kid who doesn't play and when he does, he's terrible.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
And Matt Sharam's sebloon has news about another Lakers signing,
Jake la Ravia.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Uh he is out of Indiana State and wake Ford
let's go. Singamares a former first round pick of the
Timberwolves and last year in Sacramento after being traded by
the Grizzlies, averaged a whopping six points and three red
He's gonna play defense for a game, Yes he is.
He is gonna his six foot seven frame will be
(08:11):
their defender. That replaces Dorian Finney Smith, who had to
leave because Lebron opted it.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
He's white. What a year for the Whites. Eleven time
NBA All Star James Harden, who used to date Chloe
Kardashian way back in the day, is declining his player
option and intends to sign a new two year, eighty
one and a half million dollar contract to return to
the La Clippers.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yes, it went so well in the playoffs, especially in
that Game seven. We were all kind of waiting for that.
I can't wait for next year. Guess what's gonna happen? Yeah,
look at it. Clock's ticket on you, Harden. What games
are gonna be? Game two, Game three, games, game seven?
Year hard game? You saw there? It was James Arden
like three of fifteen. He can't wait for next year's playoffs.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Wait to go. Free agent Nick Batoom of the Batum
Battal has agreed to re sign with the Clippers, as
well two year, twelve million dollars deal.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
For the Frenchman Tray Bien.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
The Chargers announced that Rodney Harrison, Oh I knew that
was common, one of the most dominant safeties in NFL
historys will be enshrined in the Chargers Hall of Fame,

tireless work ethic. Harrison becomes a thirty six player to

enshrinement will take place during a special week and halftime
ceremony on Thursday, October twenty third, when the Chargers and
Matt mney Smith host the Minnesota Vikings at so Far
on a Thursday night.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Very exciting. Congratulations to Rodney Harrison made his mark as
a Charger when his Super Bowl as a Patriot captured
the hearts of Football America on Sunday Night Football with
that sensational analysis alongside Tony Dungee and that little high
top table that they taught talk about football.
Speaker 4 (10:00):

Speaker 2 (11:32):
You are really time, very much fun. I would see
them if I didn't have duties upstairs, I would have
loved him. Been done in the field at number thirty seven,
No very important, just Hall of Fame. Not retiring the
number part of the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
When does Philip Rivers and Eric Weddel and all those guys.
Is there like a statute of limitations or I.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Don't know, you think Rivers probably sooner than later. Did
not feel like he's coming back anytime soon. I saw
that video where he was holding his son and his grandson,
both the same age. Seems like things are going really
well for him out there.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Miami Dolphins, they don't frown on that like they do here.
The Miami Dolphins have agreed to trade three time All
Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey as.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
He was supposed to come to the Rams. Yeah, but
I guess he's going to the Steelers. Janu Smith is
going with the new Smith and Minka Fitzpatrick who said
he hated Miami and he never wanted to play another
down there, So he was traded to the Steelers or
something like that. It's being sent back to Miami.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Inland Empire gun slinging cornerback from BYU, Jake Rhettzlaf is
going to transfer. He helped lead BYU to an eleven
win season last They did a great year and he
admitted it to breaking the honor code by having pre
marital sex. And the school was set to suspend him. Instead,
he will transfer. He was also facing a civil lawsuit
(12:58):
from a woman who alleges he raped her, but that
has been dropped.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I took a turn thought. I was just like, hey,
he got caught in the dorm having sex with.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
The girl, and no, there are also rape allegations, but
those have been dropped.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I'd like to again, but your questions interactions on the
Boner sound apparation.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
This Uh, this is not a news story. However, the
honor code at BYU has not reared its head with
any really really elite athlete there in a while. Rets
laugh must have been doing some things. Yeah, we'll be
right back with more great sports talk on m I
seventy LA Sports. We got dead and a live guy
(13:39):
Birthday of the Day, and then don't forget David Masse
with Dodger Talk at seven.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Make AM five seventy or your favorite AM five seventy
LA Sports podcast, a preset on the iheartradiop.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Using Apple carp or Android Auto road.

Trip all summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Trust some money.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
That's what we did.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I figured AM five to seventy LA Sports your home
of the Dodgers on this Modello meet you a lot
on Monday, and reminder it is not a real meet.
A lot of has not made with MODELO because that
is the reward, not a reward, the reward for those
with a fighting spirit. MODELO the mark of a fighter.
Dodgers Off to day, David Veasse will have off day
Dodger Talk, but we will have Dodgers White Sox beginning tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
One of the great voices in baseball, a guy that
keeps it fun an La guy Uni High, Hard High
lacc right across from the arcade, putting it work, big work.
Kevin Malar, City Champion Uni High even went to Lamar University. Lamar.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
It's been a while since we had a Lamar.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
In a while, and he hasn't been on in a while.
Twelve years of the Big League's World Series champ with
the Red Sox, host of Intentional Talk, one of the
original shows on MLB Network, and.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
He's like the original god great show and he's kept it.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Awesome this whole time. Joining us on your Southern California
Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. It is Kevin Malar from Lamar
on the Beechos and Buddy Show. What's cracking, Kevin? How
are you? Thanks for doing it? Today?
Speaker 6 (15:23):
It's time for Dodger baseball.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Ye oh, that's a good one.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Come on, boys, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
You know, we're feeling pretty good around here, malar. You know,
the Dodgers are really good. So we just sort of
float on through the season every year while they they dominate.
If they lose a couple of games, we panic. I mean,
it's not easy to have them so dominant. We don't
really have that much to talk about.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Well, no, you could keep going through the LACC nineteen
eighty eight, the Uni High, the bell Man Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Don't act like you go across the street to that
sweet arcade when you were at LACC right there on Vermont.
Don't think I didn't.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Steal quarters from there either, and get far at the
batting cages. Oh yeah, I get for trying to get
two I don't say steal. I said ball quarters because
I was trying to get four tacos at Jack in
the Box back then you can get for two bucks.
I did some quarters as I was working. Don't think
about how I was a champion of Galaga either.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Oh, I was gonna say, you know, had you not
conquered dragons layers so soon, who knows, baseball might have
had to have been put on hold. It's the great
Tevin Malars. We talked baseball here on your Home of
the Dodgers. Just the last start that Otani made, we
finally see a multiple innings. He throws over one hundred
miles an hour on a number of those pitches. What like,
(16:47):
what do you take away from the limited sample of
Otani pitching that we've seen thus far and trying to
project what it might look like come October.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Full fledged unicorn period in the story.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
I mean, the bottom line though, what.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
He's done, he's going to open up doors for over here.
You know, I just think that there's a lot of
guy I remember Mark Cott, say, came in out of
cal State Fort and right Golden Spikes Award winner, wasn't
drafted senior in high school and goes for the He
was our first rounder with the Marlins. Back forget exactly
what year that was, it might have been in the
ninety whatever it was, but he threw ninety five from
(17:25):
right field off the male would close a little bit
and then goes out and has a great career as
an outfielder. But as an example, what Otani's done, it
doesn't even make sense to us, right, We've never seen
anything like this with the arm, the speed, the power,
the whole shebang. And then it's kind of confusing for
(17:45):
all of us to answer, how does he do this?
Let's just act like he was able to throw one
hundred pitches? Do you lead him off? Do you not
hit him in the days that he's pitching. So there's
all of these questions because it's all of our first
for all of us, But one thing we of is
to see him dominate at a high level for your
(18:05):
Los Angeles Dodgers, which you guys get bored of talking
about because, like you said, you just kind of cruising away.
Dave Roberts is gonna win another West championship. I showered
with him. You guys haven't showered with him. But yeah,
so you know, we won a championship then too.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
He had a sweet goatee then too. He was more
sinister Roberts.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Yeah, he was angry too when he get out. I
saw a clip today on instagras. That's funny. I was
sitting there, you know, using the restroom, and back then
we used to read the paper. Now we scroll on
the phone. So sometimes the restroom goes on for forty
eight minutes and my wife goes, Honey, are you okay
in there? Yeah, I'm just watching Perky Reese have the
leafing chest to Rob Dave Roberts. To Rob Dave Roberts
(18:46):
who Alex corral was on first base for the Dodgers.
Roberts was, you know, hitting for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
So it's pretty cool, phenomenal scrolling his magic. It truly
is the algorithm and what it tells you about what
you do. I'm ins to say what I scrolled through
as you look at classic Baseball.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Will Clark will be stuff is pretty good. You know
when you get Will Clark telling stories, you know you
can go to get a little angry. Yeah, yeah, scroll
those two.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
See the guys that got Wade Bogs to sign a
seventy six can case of Miller Light. That was a
pretty good one that showed up in the school the
other day.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
It's good to know we spent our lives in such
a meaningful ways exactly so, you know, the restroom for
an hour, you don't see you don't see any stumbling
blocks for the Dodgers. I mean, their whole pitching staff
was destroyed and they're still up in the division. What
are we gonna do all year?
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Yeah, it's it's funny, right. That's the scary part about
like baseball is that you can be the best club
and they're going to figure out how Sometimes the wild
card team. We were a wildcard team in two thousand
and four, but like when you're a wild card team,
you're just kind of playing these games in your in
your go fight win. When you're a team that's just
solid and you and you were start to finish, you're
(20:01):
going Obviously this year in the beginning, he saw the
pottery's they got from one twelve straight at home, and
they were like better than everybody thought. That giants were
better than everybody thought. I think that that got credit,
you know. And offensively, they can't keep it up. They're
gonna have to really pitch their way. I think they're
a gaming app out of the wildcard. But yeah, you asked,
what do you do? I think Andrew Freeman, the Dodgers' organization,
(20:22):
they're so smart they don't panic. You lost half of
your pitching staff you kind of the depth, the depths,
what you have. They might not be the biggest names.
After a few big names go down because now we
get linked with salary next to your name. But they
just keep going and going and going. And I don't
care what you say when you have three MVP dudes
(20:42):
the top top of your order and we don't even
talk about will Smith, who You're bad. He's only leading
the Nation league.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Hidding, that's all.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
He's not as exciting. He's not as exciting.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Though in terms of like a post an understated guy.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Yeah, not a great post. I mean, he's not quite
a malar on the on the microphone.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
But no, you know what, he can hit a golf
ball though. We played golf a couple of years ago.
We did a segment with the network up in San
Diego in the Winter Meets, and I'm like, dude, he's
hitting balls three hundred yards down. I'm like, who are
you you catch in? You can hit you Now, he's
got to work on his energy. In the postgame interview.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
You're saying you mentioned the playoffs and be an all
around player.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Oh yeah, he can't just go through a whole twenty
year career like Kershaw and them trying to be nice
in the last two years.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
We know we're forcing it.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
We remember what you were like, you.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
Gotta be nice all the way through. It's like the
guys that get done playing right, they didn't treat guys
great and then you know, then now they get bored. Hey, hey, mallar,
you think you are they hiring over the network. I'm like,
they hate you at the network because half of those
guys held microphones when you were at your prime. So
that's why you got to be a nice person. You
never know who's going to be the next CEO.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Exactly, right, Kevin. The thing you were talking about the playoffs,
Oh yeah, you can dominate the regular season and the
play Sorry, total crap shoot wild card. We've heard it
from all the folks we talked to that that played baseball.
So I asked this question to everyone. I'll ask it
to you. I don't think I have or we have yet.
Do you think they have the postseason right?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Like?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Should it be seeded by record instead of division winners
and wild cards? Where we get a situation like we
had with the hundred and seven win Giants versus the
hundred and six wins.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
What is the reward?
Speaker 3 (22:26):
How do you do it?
Speaker 6 (22:26):
I know this, I'm the speaking of experience. I hated
days off. Are sports based on timing. It's not like
then you could say, well, we want to set up
our pitchy Stav. Of course you want your Pitchyesdav, you
want the big boys one, two, three, So that's the advantage.
But people cared about the hitters. Like we're over there
like a stimulated games for a week and we're watching
all these wildcard teams and then so I don't know
what directions you should. You have a choice because every
(22:49):
organization differs at that time. Maybe guys just like keep rowling.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
I know we did.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
I hated days off, even the days off on a Monday,
when you'd end up at the mall. Back whateverybody you
should go to the mall. You have cam City buying
the stupid Louis vautombag. I was looking for the fake one,
but you know everybody else got the suitcases for a
two million dollars the jewelry. So I just hated Daft
because that Tuesday you felt like crap. So our game
is it's crazy, but you just go, you go. You
(23:14):
got one hundred and sixt two games. You got thirty
Durner spring training, you get the postseason, you might be
playing two hundred games. That's the way your body's wired.
So yeah, it's a great question. I think we try
to answer that question because you get these powerhouses that
kind of sit back for a few days and you
get healthy staff wise, maybe bullpen wise. But I know
one thing offensively, hitters like to hit and we like
(23:36):
to go. And there's a difference of simulated games, you know,
against your pitchers, then those those games that are playoff
games that you just got that that lather and the
sweat and the you know, you're throwing in what you
need to do for good luck.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
You know, uh, you know Mookie, well, like what do
you see when you watch them play short? Like, is
that still does is it still a work in progress?
What's the ceiling there? Does it make sense to you
that that's where he's playing right now?
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Yeah, He's one of those unique guys that you just
love all your I mean, Max Muncy, you got so
many guys in Bellenger when he was there. He played
all three out there Division next fenals at first. I
think that's the flexibility that if you're a kid. You
want to play everywhere. Right one of your second baseman
learns the outfield, center field and goes the right fields,
go go ab out there, and now he's that short stump.
(24:24):
Is he perfect a short No, he would tell you that,
But I'll tell you what he's done. He's worked his
butt off to be on a team. We're looking at
seven games ahead of the Padres and twenty one games
above five hundred. So yeah, to answer your question, it's
a work in progress because of the experience right that
the games played in the big picture, But I think
he's been unbelievable and for him not to skip a
(24:46):
beat the way he does. He's a ballplayer. He's a ballplayer.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
You know.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
Offensively, the home runs and all that stuff might be
a kick down, but I'll tell you he's playing an
awesome position that it's Mookie Bess every time he gets
in that box.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
We are very grateful to have a guy who reps
LA and baseball beautifully daily for decades on the MLB network.
Does a great job. Kevin Malar a hero to us
all and a friend of the show. Is eight Dodgers
starters in the All Star Game. Too many Dodgers. Malar,
is that too much Dodgers for the country to handle?
Speaker 6 (25:22):
I know people are on happy, Yeah, it's always that way.
I remember when the Yankees, when Tory and the Yankees,
there are like fifteen Yankees. I'm like, yeah, maybe unhappy,
but hey, don't hate, congratulate, right, get better. It was
like when I went over to Baltimore after the I
played in Boston three to four oh five, right, and
then I go to the Orioles six oh seven eight,
(25:42):
and I remember Jay Gibbons and Brian Roberts and they're
all like, oh, that's odd. The Red Sox Yankee games
on again at ESPN, you know, Sunday Night Baseball. I'm like, hey, Pam,
get out last place with me on Sunday Night baseball.
You know what I'm saying. So let's change your culture.
So that's part of it, right. We love to hate
the Greats and the Dodgers. Right now, they're the team.
(26:02):
They're the team. Financially, they're a team. They went out
spent over a one point five billion dollars, so what
no one else signed the guy, so they signed them
and there you have it. So I think it's not
even enough.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Last one Kevin the furthest placed from our outpost here
in Los Angeles. You mentioned you played in Toronto, and
there was the whole ot Tawny thing. He's going to
be a blue Jay, not a Dodger, and then when
he wasn't, it's like, yeah, it's so hard for the
Blue Jays to get free agents. How would how would
you describe playing in Toronto? Playing in Canada? What was that?
Speaker 6 (26:33):
Like, the city's awesome, Canna's beautiful. The problem is is
that you deal with a lot more stuff that you
don't have to deal with over here. Right we landed,
it was customs, I know, there was some kind of
issue with the raptors and they messed it, you know,
pissed off the customs. So then we had to suffer.
You know, when we landed at you know, two forty
(26:53):
eight am, and you're going, you got a guy going
through your bags and you're like, you don't have to
do that, and and they're everywhere else. And then the money,
you know, you get one hundred our bills sometimes you
should get a one hundred and fifty bucks back, and
then something you come back, you get one hundred five
dollars back. But the problem is that whopper was still
eighteen dollars. It felt like in Canada, the catchup was different.
(27:14):
The milk came in like some kind of like cartons,
like like it's so there's there's adjustments, but it is.
It's awesome. But you are going to have to overpay
to go there if you have a choice, you know,
unless you're from there, but you are, you know, you
got a chance to go somewhere here or there. I
just think that's where the tough part. You know, when
(27:35):
you're having a sign guys, you're gonna have to overpay to
get guys to go there in my opinion, but it
was a great place. Man. It's a cool, cool town.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
If you haven't been there, Burger Kings sounds like it sucks.
Eighteen bus great Kevin b Dude, I'm not going up there. No,
the great co host of Intentional Talk on MLB Network.
They'll be doing the show live from Atlanta before the
home Run derby and the All Star Game. We appreciate you, Kevin,

Lena Horn is your dead guide. Birthday of the Day.
From New York City, New York City and raised a
little bit in Pittsburgh and Georgia. You'd have been one
hundred and eight years old today. Born in Brooklyn. A
very interesting performer, seventy year career, a black woman. Father
(30:40):
was a hotel owner and restaurant tour After high school,
she went to live with her dad in Pittsburgh and
learned about jazz from some other huge Pittsburgher jazz stars
Billy Strayhorn and Billy Exstein. She was in the chorus
line at the Cotton Club. First appeared on screen dancing
(31:01):
behind Cab Calloway. Nineteen forty one, she started recording jazz
for RCA Victor. She came here to Los Angeles and
was featured at the Sunset Trucadero. It was a different
time for that club.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
It was a different time very much.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
It was a Cotton club style of performance. By nineteen
forty two she was in movies. She was in Panama Hattie.
She performed Stormy Weather in Stormy Weather nineteen forty three,
That'll make you a Star.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I love when Bill Plashki wears that Panama hattie hat.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
It really it shows that he's there.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
That's right. I'm sorry, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
It's okay. She had a string of big musicals in
the forties. Blacklisted in the fifties for being a comedy.
She disavowed communism, thoughing her career picked up a yet
tablished herself as the number one nightclub performer in the
post war era. And we're talking about real nightclubs, Matt period. Yeah,
not the Fireside or the fu Rama Hotel backed by
(32:13):
old lmu We're talking about the sands.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Like Florentine Gardens.

Cosby Show used to be big time. Yes, okay.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Now people typically leave it off their rest and.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
They go all the way back to Sanford and Son
with Stacy King. I'm coming Elizabeth, lots of activism. It
was kind of the kiss of death to hang around
with Lena Horn. She hung around with Medgar Evers like
two days before he was assassinated. That's terrible, and met
with JFK at the White House two days before he
was assassinated.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Lena Horn would like to meet you for dinner tonight.

Speaker 5 (34:14):
British News, unighted Kingdom English.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
News, It's time for British News.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Cheerio straight get out?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Oh hited Kate's Happy seventy sixth to the last surviving
member of the classic lineup. Not the original lineup, but
the classic lineup.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
I was part of the original Seattle seven, not the
compromised second version.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
The classic and actually popular lineup of the Sweet and
the Scott. The Sweet who later became Sweet born in Wrexham,
played around Wales. Sweet Bass mostly wanted to play guitar
and sing a bit, so he shifted, made his way
(35:01):
over to London and his silver Stones won the TV
show Opportunity Knocks. Listen this American idol thing this has
done fifty years ago. Opportunity knocks over there in the
UK five weeks running. You win it and then you'd
come back the next week and somebody else have to
try to notck you off. That got them the support
slot for Jimmy Hendrix in Manchester. Fan broke up though
(35:22):
he tried a couple others, the Elastic Band. He was
in the Scaffold with Mike McCartney, brother of Paul McCartney.
Unfortunately not Mike. Mike was not as prolific a songwriter
as Paul, and that did not last all that long.
But The Sweet picked him up in nineteen seventy.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
I Want to Hold Your Elbow.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
His vocals led to Pardon the pun These Sweet Harmonies
that You're hearing right now. UK debut was on the
TV show lift Off, and their song Funny Funny shot
up the charts, went top ten. RCA was like Sweet,
and their first album, Funny How Sweet Coco Can Be,
was a big hit Top of the Pops, called multiple
(36:04):
top five singles, Little Willy Wagwham Bam Oh. The Sweets
calling card was glam rock plus a little wackiness, as
you can hear in Ballroom Blitz. Blockbuster was a huge hit,
went to number one. Follow up had this one on it,
Ballroom Blitz in seventy four and also a big one.
(36:25):
By the way, Ballroom Blitz was not in The Rocky
Horror Picture Show, but for whatever reason someone did an edit.
I don't know, like thirty years ago of a bunch
of scenes to the song Ballroom Blitz, and everybody just
assumed the better stock. But it's not in nowhere in
the film or in the production whatsoever. Very odd. I
always thought it was. But they realized it was time
(36:48):
to shift when they were pelted with bottles and kill
Marnrock Scotland, because the audience was not into the eyeshadow,
the hair spray, the shirtless, the wackiness. So this kind
of became their new sound, a little more Ello than wacky.
This is Fox on the Run. And it was a
number one song pretty much everywhere but here, UK, Germany,
(37:09):
South Africa, Australia, Canada, top five here but no stain power.
And then it was like, yeah, the Yello is better
than they the yellow light they are they broke up
in eighty one, but our man Today's birthday, alive guy
birthday that Andy Scott reformed them as Andy Scott's Sweet
in eighty five.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
How did that go?
Speaker 2 (37:27):
They're still going? They just played They just toured Australia
in November and December last year, so I was like,
how long did that last? Like two years? No, it's
been going for forty so congratulations to the suite and
to Andy Scott, who was seventy six to day. He
was married until two thousand and four when his wife
(37:48):
moved out while he was touring Australia. And I would imagine.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
Lauren Sanchez who was it.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Her name was Maddie. Oh okay, but I think he was,
you know, having a root.
Speaker 4 (37:58):

what he was doing it that's what.

Yeah, we're three fun fun fact you know, summer people
outside sitting on a nice green belt, enjoying the warm

the reason grass makes you itch is because grass is
actually serrated and the edges are cutting you. Yeah, you're
(02:45):
not itching, you're dying. Well, I mean you roll around
in that grass, the next thing you know, it's death
by ten trillion.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, I've I've been shirtless on the grass for hours
and I can't believe I've survived. I'm gonna bleed out.
I'm actually allergic to some grass. So playing footballs smooth?
You mean like marijuana?
Speaker 2 (03:08):

Speaker 2 (04:51):
So we got Mookie, we got Munsie, Mookie, Edmund Freddie
Will the entire infield.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Tay Oscar Pa has hi bias he's better than everybody.
He actually is. Lebron James, we talked about it last hour,
opting in to his final year, and uh Rich Paul
told the ESPN that he wants to see what the
Lakers rostered looked like before making a decision about anything
(05:18):
past this.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Just adding on what we were talking about. Test drive
the Lakers in twenty twenty six. Yeah, there's there's nothing
to test drive. You're forty one years old, making fifty
two million and a half dollars. You opted in. There's
no there's nowhere to go from here, kind of like
going on a dating show at eighty five. I'm demanding
to trade. You make fifty three million dollars. We can't trade.
(05:41):
Nobody wants you. It's too expensive. There's nothing we can
do here.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
You are an albatross.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
You opted in. You understand how this works. You're you're
an anchor to anybody's success. Yeah, Dow, Yeah, you demand success.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I'm I'm opting in. I'm tied to you for the
next year, but I'm watching you, and I might demand
the trade. Nobody will be able to consummate a trade
because I make fifty three million dollars, but I might demand.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
It, might do something. I might say something, I might
leak something through my agent. The Lakers have lost Dorian
Finney Smith a four year, fifty million dollar deal to
the Houston Rockets.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Whoa you know they lost Dorian Finney Smith.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Perhaps Ryan Hollins picked him up at the airport the
city of.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Sero Hollins because they couldn't pay him the fifty three
million bucks. Because there's certain somebody opted in to the
fifty three million dollar contract. Yet he's probably upset because
he was their best three and D player and someone
who could actually play perimeter defense. But they couldn't afford
him because somebody didn't want to opt out and take
(06:44):
like a forty million dollar a year concept.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
That rookie they took in the second round. Oh, that
got Arkansas guy is going to play all kinds of D.
The Lakers need a center to DeAndre Ayton, who's like
the Greg Odin of this millennium, is going to be
a free agent deepest of the forehead wrinkles when his
buyout frees him up from the Blazers. The other Lakers
center targets include x NBA rebounding champ Clint Capella Oh,
(07:09):
that guy's so good. And the ageless ex Laker big
man brook Lopez.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh yeah, in the D'Angelo Russell deal, they got brook
Lopez and the draft pick that would become Kyle Kuzma
and then they let him go.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
So this roster's shaping up. Lebron's gonna love it. Jabron
Lames is gonna love this ross. I'm opting in and
I better see improvements. Well, we can't sign Dorian Finney
Smith because you opped it in. Yeah, and one of
your players is your kid who sucks.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yes, you're welcome for that. By the way, we drafted
your kid who doesn't play and when he does, he's terrible.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
And Matt Sharam's sebloon has news about another Lakers signing,
Jake la Ravia.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Uh he is out of Indiana State and wake Ford
let's go. Singamares a former first round pick of the
Timberwolves and last year in Sacramento after being traded by
the Grizzlies, averaged a whopping six points and three red
He's gonna play defense for a game, Yes he is.
He is gonna his six foot seven frame will be
(08:11):
their defender. That replaces Dorian Finney Smith, who had to
leave because Lebron opted it.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
He's white. What a year for the Whites. Eleven time
NBA All Star James Harden, who used to date Chloe
Kardashian way back in the day, is declining his player
option and intends to sign a new two year, eighty
one and a half million dollar contract to return to
the La Clippers.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yes, it went so well in the playoffs, especially in
that Game seven. We were all kind of waiting for that.
I can't wait for next year. Guess what's gonna happen? Yeah,
look at it. Clock's ticket on you, Harden. What games
are gonna be? Game two, Game three, games, game seven?
Year hard game? You saw there? It was James Arden
like three of fifteen. He can't wait for next year's playoffs.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Wait to go. Free agent Nick Batoom of the Batum
Battal has agreed to re sign with the Clippers, as
well two year, twelve million dollars deal.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
For the Frenchman Tray Bien.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
The Chargers announced that Rodney Harrison, Oh I knew that
was common, one of the most dominant safeties in NFL
historys will be enshrined in the Chargers Hall of Fame,
known for his toughness, his leadership, his competitive drive, his
tireless work ethic. Harrison becomes a thirty six player to
receive the organization's highest honor forty fourth member overall. Harrison's
(09:29):
enshrinement will take place during a special week and halftime
ceremony on Thursday, October twenty third, when the Chargers and
Matt mney Smith host the Minnesota Vikings at so Far
on a Thursday night.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Very exciting. Congratulations to Rodney Harrison made his mark as
a Charger when his Super Bowl as a Patriot captured
the hearts of Football America on Sunday Night Football with
that sensational analysis alongside Tony Dungee and that little high
top table that they taught talk about football.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Around endless greatness. Here's Jim Harbaugh calling Rodney Harrison to

Speaker 5 (10:15):

Speaker 2 (10:49):

Speaker 5 (10:51):
Anybody who knows football.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
There's something about Rodney.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Loves the way you played the game.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Oh my, what's the way we hit.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I'm forever prather of being your teammate.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Man, And you got what you deserve, coach.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
That is such a blessing. I had no idea that
she was calling me to kill me.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
That I know, my wife, my kids, They're gonna be
thrill And you know, I'm very grateful man, because, like
I said.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
The Charges was the first to give me an opportunity
to take.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
A chance on me, and he's been great. Man.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
I really appreciate you taking your time and talking to.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Me about to us to mean, it's a lot.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I did see that.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You are really time, very much fun. I would see
them if I didn't have duties upstairs, I would have
loved him. Been done in the field at number thirty seven,
No very important, just Hall of Fame. Not retiring the
number part of the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
When does Philip Rivers and Eric Weddel and all those guys.
Is there like a statute of limitations or I.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Don't know, you think Rivers probably sooner than later. Did
not feel like he's coming back anytime soon. I saw
that video where he was holding his son and his grandson,
both the same age. Seems like things are going really
well for him out there.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Miami Dolphins, they don't frown on that like they do here.
The Miami Dolphins have agreed to trade three time All
Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey as.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
He was supposed to come to the Rams. Yeah, but
I guess he's going to the Steelers. Janu Smith is
going with the new Smith and Minka Fitzpatrick who said
he hated Miami and he never wanted to play another
down there, So he was traded to the Steelers or
something like that. It's being sent back to Miami.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Inland Empire gun slinging cornerback from BYU, Jake Rhettzlaf is
going to transfer. He helped lead BYU to an eleven
win season last They did a great year and he
admitted it to breaking the honor code by having pre
marital sex. And the school was set to suspend him. Instead,
he will transfer. He was also facing a civil lawsuit
(12:58):
from a woman who alleges he raped her, but that
has been dropped.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I took a turn thought. I was just like, hey,
he got caught in the dorm having sex with.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
The girl, and no, there are also rape allegations, but
those have been dropped.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I'd like to again, but your questions interactions on the
Boner sound apparation.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
This Uh, this is not a news story. However, the
honor code at BYU has not reared its head with
any really really elite athlete there in a while. Rets
laugh must have been doing some things. Yeah, we'll be
right back with more great sports talk on m I
seventy LA Sports. We got dead and a live guy
(13:39):
Birthday of the Day, and then don't forget David Masse
with Dodger Talk at seven.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Make AM five seventy or your favorite AM five seventy
LA Sports podcast, a preset on the iheartradiop.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Using Apple carp or Android Auto road.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Trip all summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Trust some money.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
That's what we did.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I figured AM five to seventy LA Sports your home
of the Dodgers on this Modello meet you a lot
on Monday, and reminder it is not a real meet.
A lot of has not made with MODELO because that
is the reward, not a reward, the reward for those
with a fighting spirit. MODELO the mark of a fighter.
Dodgers Off to day, David Veasse will have off day
Dodger Talk, but we will have Dodgers White Sox beginning tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
One of the great voices in baseball, a guy that
keeps it fun an La guy Uni High, Hard High
lacc right across from the arcade, putting it work, big work.
Kevin Malar, City Champion Uni High even went to Lamar University. Lamar.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
It's been a while since we had a Lamar.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
In a while, and he hasn't been on in a while.
Twelve years of the Big League's World Series champ with
the Red Sox, host of Intentional Talk, one of the
original shows on MLB Network, and.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
He's like the original god great show and he's kept it.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Awesome this whole time. Joining us on your Southern California
Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. It is Kevin Malar from Lamar
on the Beechos and Buddy Show. What's cracking, Kevin? How
are you? Thanks for doing it? Today?
Speaker 6 (15:23):
It's time for Dodger baseball.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Ye oh, that's a good one.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Come on, boys, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
You know, we're feeling pretty good around here, malar. You know,
the Dodgers are really good. So we just sort of
float on through the season every year while they they dominate.
If they lose a couple of games, we panic. I mean,
it's not easy to have them so dominant. We don't
really have that much to talk about.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Well, no, you could keep going through the LACC nineteen
eighty eight, the Uni High, the bell Man Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Don't act like you go across the street to that
sweet arcade when you were at LACC right there on Vermont.
Don't think I didn't.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Steal quarters from there either, and get far at the
batting cages. Oh yeah, I get for trying to get
two I don't say steal. I said ball quarters because
I was trying to get four tacos at Jack in
the Box back then you can get for two bucks.
I did some quarters as I was working. Don't think
about how I was a champion of Galaga either.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Oh, I was gonna say, you know, had you not
conquered dragons layers so soon, who knows, baseball might have
had to have been put on hold. It's the great
Tevin Malars. We talked baseball here on your Home of
the Dodgers. Just the last start that Otani made, we
finally see a multiple innings. He throws over one hundred
miles an hour on a number of those pitches. What like,
(16:47):
what do you take away from the limited sample of
Otani pitching that we've seen thus far and trying to
project what it might look like come October.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Full fledged unicorn period in the story.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
I mean, the bottom line though, what.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
He's done, he's going to open up doors for over here.
You know, I just think that there's a lot of
guy I remember Mark Cott, say, came in out of
cal State Fort and right Golden Spikes Award winner, wasn't
drafted senior in high school and goes for the He
was our first rounder with the Marlins. Back forget exactly
what year that was, it might have been in the
ninety whatever it was, but he threw ninety five from
(17:25):
right field off the male would close a little bit
and then goes out and has a great career as
an outfielder. But as an example, what Otani's done, it
doesn't even make sense to us, right, We've never seen
anything like this with the arm, the speed, the power,
the whole shebang. And then it's kind of confusing for
(17:45):
all of us to answer, how does he do this?
Let's just act like he was able to throw one
hundred pitches? Do you lead him off? Do you not
hit him in the days that he's pitching. So there's
all of these questions because it's all of our first
for all of us, But one thing we of is
to see him dominate at a high level for your
(18:05):
Los Angeles Dodgers, which you guys get bored of talking
about because, like you said, you just kind of cruising away.
Dave Roberts is gonna win another West championship. I showered
with him. You guys haven't showered with him. But yeah,
so you know, we won a championship then too.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
He had a sweet goatee then too. He was more
sinister Roberts.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Yeah, he was angry too when he get out. I
saw a clip today on instagras. That's funny. I was
sitting there, you know, using the restroom, and back then
we used to read the paper. Now we scroll on
the phone. So sometimes the restroom goes on for forty
eight minutes and my wife goes, Honey, are you okay
in there? Yeah, I'm just watching Perky Reese have the
leafing chest to Rob Dave Roberts. To Rob Dave Roberts
(18:46):
who Alex corral was on first base for the Dodgers.
Roberts was, you know, hitting for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
So it's pretty cool, phenomenal scrolling his magic. It truly
is the algorithm and what it tells you about what
you do. I'm ins to say what I scrolled through
as you look at classic Baseball.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Will Clark will be stuff is pretty good. You know
when you get Will Clark telling stories, you know you
can go to get a little angry. Yeah, yeah, scroll
those two.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
See the guys that got Wade Bogs to sign a
seventy six can case of Miller Light. That was a
pretty good one that showed up in the school the
other day.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
It's good to know we spent our lives in such
a meaningful ways exactly so, you know, the restroom for
an hour, you don't see you don't see any stumbling
blocks for the Dodgers. I mean, their whole pitching staff
was destroyed and they're still up in the division. What
are we gonna do all year?
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Yeah, it's it's funny, right. That's the scary part about
like baseball is that you can be the best club
and they're going to figure out how Sometimes the wild
card team. We were a wildcard team in two thousand
and four, but like when you're a wild card team,
you're just kind of playing these games in your in
your go fight win. When you're a team that's just
solid and you and you were start to finish, you're
(20:01):
going Obviously this year in the beginning, he saw the
pottery's they got from one twelve straight at home, and
they were like better than everybody thought. That giants were
better than everybody thought. I think that that got credit,
you know. And offensively, they can't keep it up. They're
gonna have to really pitch their way. I think they're
a gaming app out of the wildcard. But yeah, you asked,
what do you do? I think Andrew Freeman, the Dodgers' organization,
(20:22):
they're so smart they don't panic. You lost half of
your pitching staff you kind of the depth, the depths,
what you have. They might not be the biggest names.
After a few big names go down because now we
get linked with salary next to your name. But they
just keep going and going and going. And I don't
care what you say when you have three MVP dudes
(20:42):
the top top of your order and we don't even
talk about will Smith, who You're bad. He's only leading
the Nation league.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Hidding, that's all.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
He's not as exciting. He's not as exciting.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Though in terms of like a post an understated guy.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Yeah, not a great post. I mean, he's not quite
a malar on the on the microphone.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
But no, you know what, he can hit a golf
ball though. We played golf a couple of years ago.
We did a segment with the network up in San
Diego in the Winter Meets, and I'm like, dude, he's
hitting balls three hundred yards down. I'm like, who are
you you catch in? You can hit you Now, he's
got to work on his energy. In the postgame interview.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
You're saying you mentioned the playoffs and be an all
around player.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Oh yeah, he can't just go through a whole twenty
year career like Kershaw and them trying to be nice
in the last two years.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
We know we're forcing it.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
We remember what you were like, you.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
Gotta be nice all the way through. It's like the
guys that get done playing right, they didn't treat guys
great and then you know, then now they get bored. Hey, hey, mallar,
you think you are they hiring over the network. I'm like,
they hate you at the network because half of those
guys held microphones when you were at your prime. So
that's why you got to be a nice person. You
never know who's going to be the next CEO.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Exactly, right, Kevin. The thing you were talking about the playoffs,
Oh yeah, you can dominate the regular season and the
play Sorry, total crap shoot wild card. We've heard it
from all the folks we talked to that that played baseball.
So I asked this question to everyone. I'll ask it
to you. I don't think I have or we have yet.
Do you think they have the postseason right?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Like?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Should it be seeded by record instead of division winners
and wild cards? Where we get a situation like we
had with the hundred and seven win Giants versus the
hundred and six wins.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
What is the reward?
Speaker 3 (22:26):
How do you do it?
Speaker 6 (22:26):
I know this, I'm the speaking of experience. I hated
days off. Are sports based on timing. It's not like
then you could say, well, we want to set up
our pitchy Stav. Of course you want your Pitchyesdav, you
want the big boys one, two, three, So that's the advantage.
But people cared about the hitters. Like we're over there
like a stimulated games for a week and we're watching
all these wildcard teams and then so I don't know
what directions you should. You have a choice because every
(22:49):
organization differs at that time. Maybe guys just like keep rowling.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
I know we did.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
I hated days off, even the days off on a Monday,
when you'd end up at the mall. Back whateverybody you
should go to the mall. You have cam City buying
the stupid Louis vautombag. I was looking for the fake one,
but you know everybody else got the suitcases for a
two million dollars the jewelry. So I just hated Daft
because that Tuesday you felt like crap. So our game
is it's crazy, but you just go, you go. You
(23:14):
got one hundred and sixt two games. You got thirty
Durner spring training, you get the postseason, you might be
playing two hundred games. That's the way your body's wired.
So yeah, it's a great question. I think we try
to answer that question because you get these powerhouses that
kind of sit back for a few days and you
get healthy staff wise, maybe bullpen wise. But I know
one thing offensively, hitters like to hit and we like
(23:36):
to go. And there's a difference of simulated games, you know,
against your pitchers, then those those games that are playoff
games that you just got that that lather and the
sweat and the you know, you're throwing in what you
need to do for good luck.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
You know, uh, you know Mookie, well, like what do
you see when you watch them play short? Like, is
that still does is it still a work in progress?
What's the ceiling there? Does it make sense to you
that that's where he's playing right now?
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Yeah, He's one of those unique guys that you just
love all your I mean, Max Muncy, you got so
many guys in Bellenger when he was there. He played
all three out there Division next fenals at first. I
think that's the flexibility that if you're a kid. You
want to play everywhere. Right one of your second baseman
learns the outfield, center field and goes the right fields,
go go ab out there, and now he's that short stump.
(24:24):
Is he perfect a short No, he would tell you that,
But I'll tell you what he's done. He's worked his
butt off to be on a team. We're looking at
seven games ahead of the Padres and twenty one games
above five hundred. So yeah, to answer your question, it's
a work in progress because of the experience right that
the games played in the big picture, But I think
he's been unbelievable and for him not to skip a
(24:46):
beat the way he does. He's a ballplayer. He's a ballplayer.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
You know.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
Offensively, the home runs and all that stuff might be
a kick down, but I'll tell you he's playing an
awesome position that it's Mookie Bess every time he gets
in that box.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
We are very grateful to have a guy who reps
LA and baseball beautifully daily for decades on the MLB network.
Does a great job. Kevin Malar a hero to us
all and a friend of the show. Is eight Dodgers
starters in the All Star Game. Too many Dodgers. Malar,
is that too much Dodgers for the country to handle?
Speaker 6 (25:22):
I know people are on happy, Yeah, it's always that way.
I remember when the Yankees, when Tory and the Yankees,
there are like fifteen Yankees. I'm like, yeah, maybe unhappy,
but hey, don't hate, congratulate, right, get better. It was
like when I went over to Baltimore after the I
played in Boston three to four oh five, right, and
then I go to the Orioles six oh seven eight,
(25:42):
and I remember Jay Gibbons and Brian Roberts and they're
all like, oh, that's odd. The Red Sox Yankee games
on again at ESPN, you know, Sunday Night Baseball. I'm like, hey, Pam,
get out last place with me on Sunday Night baseball.
You know what I'm saying. So let's change your culture.
So that's part of it, right. We love to hate
the Greats and the Dodgers. Right now, they're the team.
(26:02):
They're the team. Financially, they're a team. They went out
spent over a one point five billion dollars, so what
no one else signed the guy, so they signed them
and there you have it. So I think it's not
even enough.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Last one Kevin the furthest placed from our outpost here
in Los Angeles. You mentioned you played in Toronto, and
there was the whole ot Tawny thing. He's going to
be a blue Jay, not a Dodger, and then when
he wasn't, it's like, yeah, it's so hard for the
Blue Jays to get free agents. How would how would
you describe playing in Toronto? Playing in Canada? What was that?
Speaker 6 (26:33):
Like, the city's awesome, Canna's beautiful. The problem is is
that you deal with a lot more stuff that you
don't have to deal with over here. Right we landed,
it was customs, I know, there was some kind of
issue with the raptors and they messed it, you know,
pissed off the customs. So then we had to suffer.
You know, when we landed at you know, two forty
(26:53):
eight am, and you're going, you got a guy going
through your bags and you're like, you don't have to
do that, and and they're everywhere else. And then the money,
you know, you get one hundred our bills sometimes you
should get a one hundred and fifty bucks back, and
then something you come back, you get one hundred five
dollars back. But the problem is that whopper was still
eighteen dollars. It felt like in Canada, the catchup was different.
(27:14):
The milk came in like some kind of like cartons,
like like it's so there's there's adjustments, but it is.
It's awesome. But you are going to have to overpay
to go there if you have a choice, you know,
unless you're from there, but you are, you know, you
got a chance to go somewhere here or there. I
just think that's where the tough part. You know, when
(27:35):
you're having a sign guys, you're gonna have to overpay to
get guys to go there in my opinion, but it
was a great place. Man. It's a cool, cool town.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
If you haven't been there, Burger Kings sounds like it sucks.
Eighteen bus great Kevin b Dude, I'm not going up there. No,
the great co host of Intentional Talk on MLB Network.
They'll be doing the show live from Atlanta before the
home Run derby and the All Star Game. We appreciate you, Kevin,

the postseason last year.

little bit in Pittsburgh and Georgia. You'd have been one
hundred and eight years old today. Born in Brooklyn. A
very interesting performer, seventy year career, a black woman. Father

and a lifelong friend of one of my favorite authors,
Rex Stout, the author of the Nero Wolf Okay, one
(33:42):
of my favorites. She died. Lena Horn had a seventy
year career. She died at ninety two into twenty ten.
The hell of a run sleep with all those big
time dudes. Well, I mean, come on, it's big time
her sound.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (33:56):

Got to stick around and tell the stories.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Orson well see how to suffocates you. Joe Lewis knock

Speaker 2 (34:17):
News, It's time for British News.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Cheerio straight get out?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Oh hited Kate's Happy seventy sixth to the last surviving
member of the classic lineup. Not the original lineup, but
the classic lineup.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
I was part of the original Seattle seven, not the
compromised second version.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
The classic and actually popular lineup of the Sweet and
the Scott. The Sweet who later became Sweet born in Wrexham,
played around Wales. Sweet Bass mostly wanted to play guitar
and sing a bit, so he shifted, made his way
(35:01):
over to London and his silver Stones won the TV
show Opportunity Knocks. Listen this American idol thing this has
done fifty years ago. Opportunity knocks over there in the
UK five weeks running. You win it and then you'd
come back the next week and somebody else have to
try to notck you off. That got them the support
slot for Jimmy Hendrix in Manchester. Fan broke up though
(35:22):
he tried a couple others, the Elastic Band. He was
in the Scaffold with Mike McCartney, brother of Paul McCartney.
Unfortunately not Mike. Mike was not as prolific a songwriter
as Paul, and that did not last all that long.
But The Sweet picked him up in nineteen seventy.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
I Want to Hold Your Elbow.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
His vocals led to Pardon the pun These Sweet Harmonies
that You're hearing right now. UK debut was on the
TV show lift Off, and their song Funny Funny shot
up the charts, went top ten. RCA was like Sweet,
and their first album, Funny How Sweet Coco Can Be,
was a big hit Top of the Pops, called multiple
(36:04):
top five singles, Little Willy Wagwham Bam Oh. The Sweets
calling card was glam rock plus a little wackiness, as
you can hear in Ballroom Blitz. Blockbuster was a huge hit,
went to number one. Follow up had this one on it,
Ballroom Blitz in seventy four and also a big one.
(36:25):
By the way, Ballroom Blitz was not in The Rocky
Horror Picture Show, but for whatever reason someone did an edit.
I don't know, like thirty years ago of a bunch
of scenes to the song Ballroom Blitz, and everybody just
assumed the better stock. But it's not in nowhere in
the film or in the production whatsoever. Very odd. I
always thought it was. But they realized it was time
(36:48):
to shift when they were pelted with bottles and kill
Marnrock Scotland, because the audience was not into the eyeshadow,
the hair spray, the shirtless, the wackiness. So this kind
of became their new sound, a little more Ello than wacky.
This is Fox on the Run. And it was a
number one song pretty much everywhere but here, UK, Germany,
(37:09):
South Africa, Australia, Canada, top five here but no stain power.
And then it was like, yeah, the Yello is better
than they the yellow light they are they broke up
in eighty one, but our man Today's birthday, alive guy
birthday that Andy Scott reformed them as Andy Scott's Sweet
in eighty five.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
How did that go?
Speaker 2 (37:27):
They're still going? They just played They just toured Australia
in November and December last year, so I was like,
how long did that last? Like two years? No, it's
been going for forty so congratulations to the suite and
to Andy Scott, who was seventy six to day. He
was married until two thousand and four when his wife
(37:48):
moved out while he was touring Australia. And I would imagine.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
Lauren Sanchez who was it.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Her name was Maddie. Oh okay, but I think he was,
you know, having a root.
Speaker 4 (37:58):

what he was doing it that's what.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
