That interview went a little long, but you can go back and listen to that with the Odyssey app 1053thefan.com Twitch and YouTube. - Expressways coming up in about 15 minutes. LA Live will hit at 540 right now. It's an addition of the finest. Here's Zach. - Well, it is a toxic Tuesday and we've got quite a lot of toxic NFL news to get into. Obviously we've been covering the Vontay Adams story. His coach Antonio Pierce is fed up. The Vontay Adams has requested a trade today. The report is from Adam Chester of ESPN. They'd listened to a package the Raiders are. That would include at least a second round pick and some change. So we'll have to monitor what goes on with the Vontay Adams moving forward. Then you've got DeSoto's own, Texas A&M alum, Von Miller, who's now a member of the Buffalo Bills. And nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. - Buffalo Bills circle the wagons. - They're gonna have to this week after they just got beat pretty bad by the Ravens, but he has now been suspended for games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. This stems from allegations that he assaulted his pregnant girlfriend back in November of 2023. So the Bills will be without Von Miller for quite some time. - Oh, how long is this? - Four games. - Four games, four games. - So we've got Bill Bill-- - With that, let me ask you a question real quick. With that going on, do you think the Kansas City the receiver was rice was gonna get suspended? - It might be next year. I think they take their time and wait till like it's all finished. I mean, like the Zeke stuff happens. He'd been in the, it happened before he got in the league. There was no suspension till 2017. - But with him with the knee injury now that he might be out the year, they might just, will they wait? - I don't know. - I think they would wait 'cause they wouldn't want the injury to be also serving the suspension. But I think the Zeke thing was pretty big for the NFL because at that point the legal process had played out, there were no charges. And they came in with the suspension later. And the blowback from that, I think sent shockwaves to the NFL league office. Like we can't be saying we have a better investigation in the courts. - Yes. - Let's wait to see what the law says and we'll act from there. And that way we are sure we have a real solid foundation we're on. - Yeah, I think you're right. I mean, a lot of these end up coming a year plus afterwards. Like I think the Alvin Camara incident in Vegas where he got by. - I just wondered. - That was a year after. - Yeah, we all kind of felt like that rice was gonna get suspended. - I think he still will. - So he still will. - Yeah. - Absolutely still. - Yeah, that was insane. - Okay, we got three pieces of audio here. All toxic. We've got Micah Parsons talking with there. You slay, we've got Bill Belichick on with Pat McAfee throwing shade at the Patriots. And then boomerous size and talking jets. Where do you wanna go first? - Jets. - All right, here's boomer. W-F-A-N. I played yesterday, Aaron Rodgers reaction to Robert Salah after he said, yeah, I don't know if we should do the hard count, the cadence might be messing stuff up. And then Aaron Rodgers is like, that's one way to look at it. Take it out. Maybe just hold people accountable. And Salah backpedaled from that. He was crawfish and like, oh, no, no, you're right. You're right. We keep cadence. Well, here's boomer talking about the toxic nature of the jets right now. - I try to watch you to see if I see any interactions on the sideline or anything. Nothing. Nothing I see a guy walking right past that other guy. I can't imagine that now. I remember those days because I had those days with one, two coaches in particular. And it is because I didn't trust a guy. And I didn't like the guy. I didn't think he knew what he was doing. And it pissed me off. And if you read my body language back in those days with those teams that I was on, you can tell that I was pissed off. And when I see Aaron Rodgers on the sideline and I see him after the game in the postgame press conference, you know, and again, I'm speculating here, but I'm only speculating because I've gone through it. - I'm not a genius. - Yeah, but yesterday's day postgame press conference, there is a major issue there. - That was on WFAN. - Yeah, it's crazy. He's starting to sound like RFK. That's my first observation of a boom or a size in there. But yeah, you know, it's not hard to get Aaron Rodgers to not like you. I mean, you can do nothing wrong and he could not like you for whatever reason, you know. - Well, I mean, heck, we know about the family. You know, talk to your family. I think that's being mended. I think that relationship's getting better now after a decade. But yeah, I mean, certainly it does not seem like he has any respect whatsoever for his head coach. - Trying to think of who Boomer Seisen was talking about. - Oh, what's your coach, maybe? - I think, did he play for like a rich co-tie, like a '94? - Definitely not Sam Weish. Sam Weish was his guy. - Sam Weish was his guy. - He held everybody to that standard. - So he also played in Arizona for a year. And he was, they were three and five when he was. - That could very well be also one of the ones he's talking about. - Yeah, so, but my guess would be rich co-tie. Somewhere, he was five and nine in 1994, and then they were two and, they were two and 10. - Definitely rich co-tie. - In '95, it was rich co-tie, as he was talking about. - Yeah, bigger, dumpster fire good question, two and four Cowboys or Jets for an office. It's still the Jets. I mean, the Cowboys at least have had some, even though the Jets have been to two conference championships in the span in which the Cowboys have not, that's what, that's what's so maddening about the Cowboys. They do a lot of things well. - Yeah. - They just can't finish it. You know, the Jets, they don't do a lot of things right. - No, not at all. It seems like they just can't have nice things. And whoever puts that uniform on, probably gonna go poorly. All right, let's keep it to the AFC East then. Bill Belichick doing his weekly appearance with Pat McAfee. Patriots are sticking with Jacobi Brissette after they lose to the 49ers, but here's a salty bill taking some shots at his former team. - I have no idea what the plan is. So I don't know, I can't comment on that. If Mayo says he's got a plan, then I guess he's got one and we'll have to wait to see what it is. I don't know, but that's, I'd say there's a number of issues there. You know, one is can't move the ball and can't score. You know, gotta touchdown off the field goal, on, you know, 63-yard field goal, whatever it was. Our field goal, and they gotta touchdown off the fumble kick off, but, you know, otherwise had a hard time moving the ball. And I don't know exactly what the numbers were, but the amount of time that Perdy had to throw was pretty high. I gotta think that in terms of the amount of time before the ball was released, had to be the highest in a lead or close to it. So I think there are some pass rush issues there. There are some, you know, scoring issues and the Joey Slive is a great, you know, that's a great addition for him. They got a, they got a good kicker. That's a big upgrade. (laughing) - Basically they suck. They can't move the ball on offense. Their defense can't rush the patch, but hey, they got a kicker now. But otherwise this team stinks, and I'm not there. - I mean, he sounds less bitter than I would be, you know? Even though there's definitely something there. - He does a good job there. - He hates Bobcraft. - Yeah, it's Bobcraft. I mean, yeah. And I'm surprised he took a shot at Mayo like that. - Like, Mayo says he's got a plan or no one's playing. - But he doesn't like Bobcraft. That's a big problem right there. - He wants to be missed. No doubt. And hey, I mean, certainly it's-- - Toxic Tuesday. - We knew it would be a struggle in New England. I don't think that's all on Geron Mayo, but there are a lot of problems there. Then there's the weird stuff that's going on with the beef between Micah Parsons and Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. So Micah, last week on his podcast, The Edge on Bleacher Report, said he didn't like the comment Chauncey Gardner-Johnson made posts came after they beat the Saints. And just calling like, well, they've got Derek Carr over there. We knew that they weren't gonna be able to win once we took the lead because of Derek Carr. Micah didn't appreciate those comments. So he made it public. Chauncey Gardner-Johnson didn't appreciate that. So Darius Sleigh, Eagle's Corner, coming on Cowboys Micah Parsons' podcast to talk about his teammate DJ Gardner-Johnson. This is their exchange yesterday on The Edge with Micah Parsons. - I'm not, like, I'm not trying to, like, y'all know, bro, I'm all positive, bro. I'm not trying to attack CJ at all. I know he took what I said personally. And, you know, before I even get into it, I don't know who we think he is like. In terms of how we feel, bro, like, we all in the NFL, how we, how one of us saying that another person don't belong here, they just that type of person. Like, you feel me, though? Like, even when I'm just- - Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Even when a pro ball or pro, like, you know, we still could be humble at any moment. Like, we still gonna get beat. I'ma still get locked up maybe for a game or a rep. You know, it's just a game of football, which is how it happened. - It happens. - So, like, what's your thought on that, bro? - Yeah, hey, one thing I know about eight, man. Eight go bring the noise. Eight go bring the energy. And eight go bring all the trash talking. That half the team's not doing. So, he fulfilled that need for us. You know what I'm saying? He's got a lot of energy. He go talk that trash, but, you know, hey, you go talk, gotta back it up at some point of time. And if you don't, he know for sure that media go catch it, go catch it on the tension, and he gotta be ready to answer every time. 'Cause if he don't, you need to get pulled ass every time. - You know what I'm supposed to say, man. You know what's up, whatever. You gonna do it. Now, hey, I told him, do your thing, man. But, hey, you know now, you don't perform the way you wanna perform. - You gonna get back on you. - Every time, bro. - Filthy media didn't like, Derry Slay going on the Micah Parsons show there. And neither did CJ Garner Johnson as he took to Instagram and just said, damn, it's his teammate, I guess. I don't know, maybe. I kind of sounded like he had his back there. I don't think Derry Slay said anything wrong, but we got some drama brewing in that Eagle secondary, and I'm here for it. Micah Wright in the middle of it. - I love it. Drama on both sides of that. - Let's go. - Eagle's locker room. - I'm all in on that. We also have an SMU update. Their cornerback, Johari Rogers, has opted out of the remainder of the 2024 season. He's played in four games. He's gonna enter the transfer portal. He's a senior, said first, I wanna say thank you to all of SMU and the coaches and the staff for the opportunity. - Five and one. - Yeah, and he's opting out. So, we'll see where he ends up going. He's appeared in 41 games in four years, including starting the entire last season. It's 19 tackles and an interception so far this year. - Well, it was Rogers, guys, man. They don't know when they got a good thing going. - He's leaving. - That's a shame. - Yeah, it is a shame. And DJU, I'm not gonna try and say his last name. (indistinct) He had a rematch set, Florida State's playing Clemson. - He's bitten benched. - It's not gonna play this week. He's out. - Oh, he's out. - So, brought Glenn, gonna get the starter. We could have had a toxic match up there against his old team in Clemson. - Petty ball. - I love Petty ball. There's football's finest. - Thank you, Wolf Chuck. Football's finest, most days, five o'clock. Hosted by Eric Chiafalo, who is, he's out today. He and the family are sick. - Probably, Wolf Chuck passed it onto him. You know how they do, close socializing. - The hell are you trying to say? - Okay, we gotta run. We have the expressway, everything break it in the world of sports throughout your broadcast day.

The nation has brought you by cars for kids. Donate your vehicle today at carsforkids.org. And the Expressway itself is presented by the on-time experts. Let's take a look at the big league scoreboard. We have had a treat of afternoon playoff ball here throughout the day. You have the Royals leading the O's. One zip, bottom of nine, zero out, okay? Oh, Hearn is up at the dish trying to get something started for Baltimore. You have the Mets beating the brew crew, it's three, two in the bottom of the third inning. You have Braves Padres coming up at 730 on ESPN. And the Tigers beat the Astros 3-1 earlier today as Scooble is the real deal. Hadn't got a chance to watch him much live this year, but he was virtually unhittable. And the Tigers pushed together a couple of runs early and they hold on for the win 3-1. Although the strokes had the bases jammed with two out in the bottom of the ninth and almost had a historic comeback victory there. But they're cursed in H-town, aren't they? I mean, the Astros, you might want to blow that place up. Six in a row, six Ls in a row, a minute made park. Yeah, they can't seem to buy a win. That's postseason Ls. Yeah, okay. Yeah, Wyatt Langford had a massive dub for the final month of the season. To win rookie of the month is incredible, you know, but he ended up winning American League Player of the Month. He becomes the first rookie to do that since 2017. Just an incredible month hit 996 if you do the on-base plus slugging and eight home runs. Do you think he's going to be the best ranger next year? Is he going to pass Corey Seager? He's got it all. I mean, he's fast, he runs the bases. I think in the outfield, it's gone maybe better than expectations for his rookie or considering what we were talking about in spring training. Yeah, I mean, the knock was, you know, limited arm strength there, but we saw him make some really dynamite plays with his arm in the outfield. So I don't know that I'm going to go as far as, he's going to jump Corey Seager, but I think that he can elevate past the guy like Marcus Simeon, who's going to be 34 years old and is a leader and is still a good player. But certainly I think the conversation of like moving Wyatt, maybe your lead off spot, he definitely could be maybe your second best player and the steals like 19 steals this year. We were talking like, could he end up getting into the Otani territory of steals? And I definitely think 30 next year very doable, be more comfortable. Yeah, you know, you get some watch, you get on base and you get a chance to let your legs work. I could see him easily being a 30 stolen base guy, you know, 50, not many guys doing that these days. Brian Reimers in the 80s, it was amazing with guys like Coleman and Ricky Henderson, they went after a hundred bags on the regular, Willie McGee. Yeah, Willie McGee, I mean, I can go all the way back to Lou Brock with the old, you know, Morrie Wills. I mean, they had guys back in the day that used to be able to steal bases and stuff like that. Yeah, but he could be a 30, 30 guy like Bobby Whit. Yeah, sure, good. That'd be amazing. Okay, what needs to happen for the Rangers to get back into contention at 8, 7, 7, 8, 8, 1, 1, 0, 5, 3, as we start to look at this off season, we want to be back in the playoffs. I mean, it's incredible to watch playoff baseball. We're missing this right now. On TV, the drama, the feeling that you can't miss a single pitch plus the pitch clock, you know, it does take me back to the 80s when, you know, baseball was at the center of the sports universe just with the drama. And, you know, everything from last fall just was a refresher on that. And it's, it's energizing here to watch these guys play. Yeah, the Royals are in the, and the O's are in a, in a 1-0 game in the bottom of the night. I mean, this has been just such a well-pitched game on both sides. And, you know, to watch the, like you said, the drama. Yeah, Rushman's up now with a, with a runner on first and, and no out. So, Baltimore's thinking, dude, we can't go out like this two years in a row with one of the best teams in baseball, but they are currently trending in that direction. Okay, Tim Kalashaw wrote about it in the morning paper. What are the Rangers needed to do to get back to contention? As usual, I did kind of regret clicking the link. Wasn't that compelling of an argument from Tim. And he, he said you can't depend on money, which is a fair point. Got to draft and develop pitching is, is what he was saying. You know, the old, you know, saying about the Rangers, you know, the, the narrative. I, you know, I, I thought they were okay at pitching. That's what I'm saying. I kind of feel like, and when that's something they, that's why that's, is, is, is another thing. Okay, developing is another thing, but I felt like, do you have rockers coming through and we were, those are the two made up to Bradford coming through. Yeah, when we were adjusting the roster yesterday, going through the roster, like I was fighting you guys on Revaldi and your guys are like going a pound sand Brian. Yeah, and the rotation, the rotation's in good shape. Cody Bradford certainly has been a big win and Rocker looks like he's coming on. Lighter still has some work to do. But sliders last outing against the A's. And I know it's the A's, but he went three in the, I think three and a third and just was like, he looked good. I was like, I was encouraged by how he finished up. It, that, I mean, to me, like that's, that's a bit of low hanging fruit there. They got rushman. They got rushman. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Like that's something we've talked about for the last few years. I don't think that drafting and developing pitching is how they're getting back in the world series next year. Oh, no, they need hitting prospects to come through. It's all about the offense needs to get back to what it was. Yeah. You need a Dolly Scarce to be healthy. You need Corey Seager to be healthy. You need to find out, okay, Jonah, was that just a one outlier year where you burnt out, which he very well might have been. Can you get back to anywhere close to what you were? Evan Carter, can you be healthy? Josh Young, can you be healthy? Nathaniel Lowe, do you bring him back? Do you upgrade first base? To me, it's all about the lineup. The pitching, I think, is something for the first time you're looking at, man, this is trending in a very positive direction. Indeed, and the other real positive here to look at is that the fact that you do have a World Series championship to a recent one to rest on. And you got your general manager signed up. You got your general manager signed up, and you're not the Arizona Diamondbacks who are in sports misery right now. Of course, they went out with a whimper, and then they didn't even make the playoffs. And after making that run to the World Series a year ago, the Diamondbacks looked to add to their roster at the end of spring training in the form of one Jordan Montgomery. And Lucius, I'm gonna pivot here and go to this audio of the Diamondbacks team owner, Ken Kendrick. And he did a press conference there at the end and said, well, I know exactly who to blame for this move of bringing in Montgomery. This is some of maybe the most blunt owner audio that you're gonna hear this out of Jerry Jones. Here we go. I'm signing Jordan Montgomery in Iran. I'll stick with Montgomery because Iran was hurt for a lot of the year, and we didn't get to see him in a full season. But Jordan Montgomery was $25 million, and he pitched to an ERA well over six and got demoted to the bullpen. How disappointed are you in that sign? - Let me say it the best way I can say it. If anyone wants to blame anyone for Jordan Montgomery being a Diamondback, you're talking to the guy that should be blanked. Because I brought it to their attention. I pushed for it. They agreed to it. It wasn't in our game plan. You know, when he was signed right at the end of spring training and looking back in hindsight, a horrible decision to have invested that money in a guy that performed as poorly as he did. It's our biggest mistake this season from a talent standpoint. And I'm the perpetrator of that. - You gotta love him standing on that, you know, and owning it. Does it exonerate the Rangers for not bringing him back? I would say so. Like right now, I'm kind of looking at Ray Davis. Like maybe that's the wisdom that we need to rein back, you know, an aggressive front office. - Man, I think just the holdout throughout spring training. I think maybe things, maybe, you know, maybe the Rangers would look good on this one because of how poorly he pitched. But I think the lack of spring training, you look at a couple of things. And maybe I need to check on Snell because he was out. - Now how to horrible start and then back half of the season was better for him, had that no hitter. - Yeah, so maybe the Rangers did know something. We were trying to say, no, we were having this flashback of this guy's a hero. - Yeah. - This is Ezekiel Elliott, bring it back. - You know that, right? Yeah, yeah, you know, the Cowboys would have, you know, they'd give it an eight year deal. - I agree with where you're going there, Brian. I think that it is-- - I think spring training or lack of-- - It's the lack of spring training. I think he's been pretty mid like most of his career, not this bad. - Did, yeah, is he like a top number one ace? No, he's not. But I think that to have as bad of a year's Jordan Montgomery hat, if he had a bit in spring training for the Arizona Diamondbacks, he has a much better season. - I'm telling you what I'm doing, Dawson. I'm making an excuse for a guy that was a hero. - That's right. - That's what I'm doing. - I don't mind that. - I think when you look at all the pitchers that did not get into-- - He probably would have stunk for the Rangers too. - I don't think so. - Probably. - I think every pitcher that signed late struggled. And I think Jordan Montgomery, that absolutely is a fail. - Well, you know, he has had success with Maddox. - Maddox, yeah. - So, I mean, I want to know what the value is now. You know, he was shooting for the moon. Maybe the prices come down that, you know, a reunion could still be in the cards. Would you create a union of Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame? I don't know if I would. I'd really have to spend some time thinking about it 'cause how big gambling has become in pro sports now? I would probably side with sending the message. If you hadn't done it to this point, maybe the time was 10, 15 years ago to do it. - Here's my reckless statement that, and I need to do research before I even say this, but this is reckless Brian talking right now, there's a lot worse human beings in the baseball hall of fame than Pete Rose. - Fair. - Go back and look at the history of the Hall of Fame, the Ty Cobb's and people like that. There's a lot worse human beings. - Horrible people, but maybe horrible people that don't have gambling on the game of baseball. - You know what, if you're gambling, I get it. I love horse racing. I love gambling on horse racing. I'm a terrible card player. You would love to play cards with me because you'd have my bank account. - High stakes, baby. - That's what I'm saying. But to me, look at the Hall of Fame and I'm sure you can go through and find people, by the way, Kansas City with a victory. Hold on, one nothing. Take game one. - Congratulations. That's your sister team there and surprise. - That's my team. - Who knew I was hammering vodka in the crowd and watching the Royals play thinking. - You're bonding with your community. - This is a playoff team. But anyway, I think if you got to the Hall of Fame, they're far more worse people in the Hall of Fame than Pete Rose. - That's a fact. Here's Pete Rose in the 90s on the David Letterman show. Just got out of jail for tax evasion. - Oh. - Okay, and here he will. - No, can't do that. - Make it his case for the Hall of Call. - Did you, how did you get all those hits anyway? (audience laughing) No, but I mean, seriously, how, what were you doing differently than everybody else has ever played the game? - Well, I was lucky because I didn't have any major injuries. I didn't miss 10 games in 11 years. Wow. And I was lucky because I could switch it. I could hit the ball to all three fields. And I used to pay off most of the pitchers. - No, no, no. (audience laughing) Now, Pete, you're eligible, and correct me if any of this is inaccurate. You're eligible to be reinstated by the commissioner. - January. - January, where's it go? - Oh, is that right? - Yeah, year after I was suspended, I was suspended in 1989, but I just really haven't applied for reinstatement because I'm still on a supervised release until January the 4th or 5th. And once I'm through with that, I'll have everything behind me. I'm doing the things that you as a citizen would appreciate as being another citizen. I'm cleaning up my act and we'll go from there. - Right. - And you hope to eventually be reinstated. You would like to get back in the baseball, I guess? Maybe manage again. - I'm not necessarily David. I like to get reinstated because the ultimate goal for any player is to reach the Hall of Fame. And I can't go to the Hall of Fame unless I'm reinstated. So I guess in my case, and I'll sound arrogant or cocky, you just sort of want what you earned. - Now, I feel bad for him, you know, never being able to realize that lifelong goal for him. But I do think betting on sports is different. You know, if you break laws like-- - Yeah. - They tell you not to do it. - Like the gentleman here, 469, Babe Ruth beat his wife. And to me, that's way worse than what Rose did. Daniel and 40, yeah. And if you're dealing with the court of law, there's a lot of people in the Hall of Fame that did worse stuff than Pete Rose. But you're talking about cheating the game, you know? And that's like rule number one in baseball. Don't gamble on this stuff. So I guess that would be an unpopular contrarian opinion that I have on the deal. And I was a big Pete Rose fan growing up. - There's my guy. There's people that think that he doesn't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. And, you know, they're gonna get their wish because he's not gonna get in the Hall of Fame. That's gonna happen. That's not gonna happen. - Ouch. - That's not gonna happen. - Yeah. - But they'll be names. - And they won't do it like afterwards. - Nah. - 'Cause, you know, maybe they'll say we didn't want to give it to Pete. - We've got to. He's passed and we'll put him up there. - We've got him. - 'Cause his numbers do speak. - They absolutely do. We give a different commissioner and they're a different leadership. - Yeah, it's just the, they're the trustiest writers. - The MLB Hall of Fame. There's so many that you just put an asterisk if you want to, but he actually deserves to be in for what he did. - 214 is a good point. It was a lifetime ban. - Oh no, absolutely. - And his life is over. - Yeah, and Paul Giamatti is dead. - Yeah, but that's-- - Yeah. So the thing about it is that, you know, the lifetime ban, yeah, but they're not gonna, they're not going back. I mean, they see lifetime, it's lifetime, your lifetime's over, but we're not gonna, we're not gonna bring it back. - We're just not, so-- - 214, I hope people carry the same energy against Otani. I would, you know, if there was, if we can get some proof of it. - Yeah, he, if, yeah, if they proved it, yeah, absolutely. - I mean, there's back-to-back text on the Otani thing, you know, and I wouldn't doubt it, but, you know, there's-- - I'm just a Pete Rose fan. I know that's a terrible thing to say, Paul. - It's not. - It's not, you know. - It was not. - Because, like I say, Gamb went on the games and stuff, and, but I, I just look at the Hall of Fame. I just look at the Hall of Fame, and I see a lot of terrible people that had never gone through the, the scrutiny that Pete Rose went through as a player. And gambling on your, on the games is bad. If he's a manager, whatever, it's a bad thing. - Yeah. - Because people do, some people like put their, all their money, that's their last hope, and they're betting on the Reds, and all of a sudden you're throwing a game, and they lose, I mean, that's a bad thing. - Now, but now you have college kids, you have NBA players, you have baseball players, they're betting on things more and more, and I think as a sports organization, if you would say, "Well, we're putting Pete Rose in." - Then I think, you know, that's, that's not the message you need to be set up. - I don't think he'll be a blast. - The argument was to put him in when he was alive so he could enjoy it, right? - Yeah. - Let's, let's do this old man or solid, 'cause what he did for the game. - We don't do anything the right way. - It's time now to go into the PIMCOMs, 'cause we're Lucius. - It's like three of the best baseball players on the planet are not in the Hall of Fame. - Yeah, I grew up as a kid watching that guy play and I, I was amazed, I was amazed how he played. - You know, he was before my time, but my, my elementary school friend, hit me up the other yesterday, last night on Facebook, man, shout out to Frederick Z-Garr. He was like, "Hey, remember we used to reenact that Pete Rose catching the World Series?" - Yeah. - Yeah, we used to reenact that. When the catcher dropped it, Bob born or something like that. - Yeah, well, yeah, it, it popped out of Boone's glove and Rose was standing right there and grabbing. - We used to reenact that all the time. - They're right there by the dugout and it is boop, boop. - Right over there, DJ Lee in Irving, Texas. Oh man. All right, let's get into a toxic Tuesday right after the Great Rick James, speaking of toxic. (upbeat music) ♪ All right, you square ♪ ♪ It's time to smoke ♪ ♪ Fire up this pumpkin, let's go ♪ ♪ It'll make it dance, some of him ♪ ♪ Carry him, get everybody to get high ♪ ♪ It's that time ♪ - Oh man, by the way, I told you I'm happy to take off if we carry on back.

(laughing) - I can, 62. - But I have, you know, I've seen you swing, I know you swing. - Let's not act like children. - President Trump, we're going to win. - Let's not act like children. - Let's not act like children. - Yeah, that's going down, not this particular one, but there's going to be another debate tonight. This is L.A. Live for Tuesday, October 1st. It's the first of the month, uh-huh. - Wow. - Catch those checks and come on. It is a toxic Tuesday here in L.A. Live R.I.P. to John Amos. - Yeah. - A.K.A. Mr. Dow from Coming to America. (laughing) A.K.A. James Evans from Good Times. - James! - Yes! - A.K.A. Officer Freeman from the Players Club. He ain't got time for Dollar Bill. And he was a real Thespian, real life actor. He had done all types of acting on the stage. You know, the movies, the TV shows. He's done everything. Real life Thespian right there. And a real truth teller. Go look up any of his podcast appearances, and this man will tell you the truth. - Looks like a guy that would kick your ass. - 100% will kick your body. - Like he always could roll up his sleeves and like, maybe we're like watching Good Times and all that. He was like, J.G. Watt was gonna get his ass kicked. - Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now Pops wasn't playing. He was a real hard-nosed guy, you know what I mean. By the way, Florida Evans was the real villain on Good Times. - Where's she? - Real villain. She like to have her family there in the ghetto 'cause she can have them all together. Every time a family wanted to get out the ghetto, she was afraid of the idea. - Oh, where's she? - Oh, what are you doing now? Where's J.J. getting all this money? (laughing) - J.J. trying to get you out the ghetto, girl. - Getting that small place, man. - Yeah. - Small place. - Yeah, the vice presidential debase art tonight there, Mr. Broadus. - Yes. - Tim Walz versus J.D. Vance. It is at 8 p.m. on CBS. There will be no fact-checking from the moderators. - Oh. - No fact-checking. - Who are the moderators? Lucius, do we know? - Oh, the small gosh. - I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. - No, it's all good. I did see it, but I didn't copy their names. - We just signed it. - I was like, I didn't. - We'll just go find it. - Yeah, go ahead, that's what we're all here for. We all got computers in front of our faces. - Yeah, I should have asked that. - The nominees will have to fact-check each other, so that means there will be drama. - There will be drama. - And I could tell by the way the news was presenting it this morning. Oh, these guys been going back and forth on Twitter. This should be pretty good. - I was like, what? We are so unserious, so unserious. - All right, we got CBS News' Noro Donald and Margaret Brennan. - There we go. - Margaret Brennan is out to Margaret. - Shoot now questions, not even fact-checking. Just backing away, shoot out something and just backing away, let them fight. - Yeah. - Come back and backing away, let them fight again. - Lob it in there and go. - Yeah, what? Fucking eight in there. G back of the day, we do it every weekday on the fan at 2.30. I would be going to the fair tonight for dinner. - I knew you would. - But it's a debate. I got to watch the debate. I got to watch it. I'm that type of guy. I am that type of guy. You can hit me up at Lucky Lucius P on social media. Lucius Alexander on Facebook, that is L-U-C-I-O-U-S. Yes, that's my name. - I'll tell you what, Lucius, need to go for one of those juicy burgers one night for dinner. I think you got me thinking about it. - Dude, you got it. I love it. - You're thinking about it? - Yeah, I bought my sister one. - Yeah. - I gave it to her and I went to go get like a soda for her. - Yeah. - At the concession stand, I came back. She had mayonnaise and cheese on the side of her face. She's like, "Oh, this is good." I'm like, "Yeah." - You need a beach child? - Yeah, he's shot white to face something. - Showing the hell is, girl. You can follow us all if you find G back nation on Twitter. Our winner right here comes from the KMC masterpiece, happened a masterpiece of the week on Friday. What the hell is going on with Corey? - Well, Sean Sharif said this during cross talk yesterday. - Him painting an alley. - Yeah. - Alec wins. - Three way, or G. - Go. - What? - It was during cross talk. He was trying to get a producer off. - Geez. - That came off. - What the hell did you just say? - I mean, that sounds right. - A producer battle this week. - A producer battle? Trying to get a producer off. (laughing) - A member? - A producer off. - A member? - You live a freak off. (laughing) - All right, look at the vibe, right? - Hey. - Hey. - Hey. - Hey. - Hey. - I don't have time to say Tuesday. - All right, let's see here. This is where we're talking about the debates and everything. Oh, I'm Bobby. I thought he was about to talk singing to me. A North Texas man goes viral after buying a signed Taylor Swift guitar, then destroying it. - I figured that was a text and I saw that. - I saw the video here on social. - Yeah, you two, what up? This happened Saturday night in Walksahatchee at the Ellis County Wild Game Dinner. - Hosted it. - That is a nonprofit organization that hosts event dinners to raise funds for agricultural. - Did I say that right? - Agra-cultural. - It's one of those words that you say. - It's one of those words that you look at but never say it, you know? - Yeah, I think you say it in your head. - Yeah, right. - Yeah, okay. And rural education to the youth of Ellis County. So this is for the kids. - 4-H. - Allegedly. It's for the kids. The man purchased the never used signed guitar from Taylor Swift for $4,000 at this auction. - Wow, never used? - Never used signed a guitar from one of the-- - Trust him. - One of the biggest pop stars on the planet. Slammed it on stage like Pete Townes. - He should have, but no, he took a ball ping pammer hammer to it and just did it. - Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down. - It was a slow methodical beating. - Oh, no. - Hook it. - 'Cause we don't leave the wall hanger. - We don't leave the special on the ground. - That's on the ground. - Yeah. - That was coming. (upbeat music) - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Now take that, hang up that busted thing. (laughing) - The LS County Wild Game Dinner spokesperson implied that it may be related to Swift's recent endorsement of Kamala Harris for president. - Oh, yeah, that probably do it. - Yeah, I got him right there. Came in the shooter. - What a flex, though. I got so much money I'm gonna buy this guitar just so I can break it. - Tear it all. - Is it like Taylor Swift? - What are our guy Matt Pittman was at the Wild Game Dinner there walks a hatchet? - I don't know, I'd have to ask him. - Yeah. - Taylor Swift Instagram post is probably what triggered him right here. Taylor Graham Instagram post helped drive a surge in voter registration. Vote.org recorded more than 35,000 registrations after her post. Our cat lady post. - Yeah. - Yeah. The canceling is on fire during toxic Tuesday. The canceling is on fire, political-wise. - Oh, yeah. - Netflix cancellation surge after co-founder Reid Hastings endorses Kamala with a $7 million donation. Netflix's US cancellation nearly tripled. Wow. - Oh, taking a stand apparently. - Taking a stand. - I guess the-- - It's not the race prices or the password sharing, nothing like that. It took an endorsement. - That seems kind of flaky. If you ask me, not very strong. - But if they drop the prices for them, I'm gonna still take it. - No, my home is still naked. I'm gonna say thank you, dog. Appreciate you, bro. I can get it, fail. - There's no bigger endorser than you though, Lucie. She watched that stuff all the time, right? - What? - Netflix. - I watch everything. - Yeah, it's what I thought. - Consuming it all. - Yeah, I consume it all. I try to, I get frustrated when I'm like, away from the house, and I'm like, I could be watching the series. What are we doing? (laughing) - What are we doing? - Cut up on the penguin, too. - Oh, the penguin is so cute. - Good. - It was incredible. - I gotta watch that. What's it on, the penguin's on which one? - Max. - Max, but I can call it HBO Max, because why kill a brand name like that? - Yeah, it's crazy. - The music, right? And we like that music, the music for HBO. - Absolutely. - Lucie's got the-- - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The old school for that. (humming) Yeah, I love that joint. Speaking of cancellations in Twitter, Fidelity estimates that Twitter, his value has dropped to $9.4 billion. - Paid $44? - He lost 30 bill? - He's lost. Yeah, a decrease of 79% since Elon Musk took over. - Man, I guess funding an election is expensive. - You need to stop. (laughing) - Chill out, bro. (laughing) - It'll be worth it if he wins. - Chill out. - They're gonna get you, bro. - I mean, everywhere I go on Twitter now, it's either, I had to mute him, 'cause he's up like every time I refresh the screen, his latest tweets at the top. I was like, "Dude, I don't want "to get into political mode right now." - Nah. - I see the people that I follow. - I'm just trying to laugh. I remember on Twitter, you know, funny, like people used to go for the jokes. It was the jokes, and the jokes used to get people in trouble. And I remember, I remember when Twitter started changing, when you turn on to the late night news, and they'll say, "Gilbert Goffrey's in trouble "because he tweeted this and then I'm like, "What?" Why don't we worry about what "Gilbert Goffrey" tweets. It's like the new news. - It's like the new news. - Yeah, man, what are we doing? What else we got right here? ♪ I can't believe it's hard ♪ ♪ I can't fuck you ♪ - What do you want to do? - LA Live 1053 Defend on the Toxic Tools Day. We had a shooting. Shooting at end of the field hockey game at Temple Sports Complex. - A little field? - Temple University, yes, sir. - Nice. - We've been there. - A full shooting, is it like in a scary place or something? - Very scary. - Okay. - This wasn't you, sports related. - No, I went and watched a basketball game and a guy said, "Don't take your car." - Oh. - So I had to take a cab. - He was the car at home. - Yeah, I took a cab and then quickly the guy said, "Okay, when you get done with the game, "leave the stadium and go arena and go." - Just like that. - Don't hang around. - Sounds like Oakland. - Yeah, don't hang around. - A game between LaSalle and St. Louis University was called after gunshots led players and coaches off the field. There were no injuries though, people. No injuries. The shooting occurred at an off-campus fast-food restaurant. - Yeah, LaSalle's another Philly school. - This is unrelated to the game. Let's keep it moving, guys. - Yeah. - You know? - Everybody okay? - Yeah. - Hey, Philly, that happened in Philly. - Yeah, it's Philly. - It's not Brazil. - Yeah. - It's Philly. - It's Philly. (laughing) - I love Brazil. - Well played. - It's Philly. - Well played. - I think the Brazilian soccer team, when they have a game in Philadelphia, they're like, "Be careful, say it in Brazil." - Be careful, don't wear that. - See what I mean. - Don't go on February of 2024. - Don't go out. - Yeah, don't wear a silver and blue out there, bro. - Don't bring your families. (laughing) - It was actually being broadcasted on ESPNU at the time. Listen to this. - Pass in. - Whoa. - Yeah. - What a shoot. - That took us so long. - Guys, it looks like there's a running off the field. There were some loud noises and it looks like players are evacuating the field right now. - Bro, you didn't hear that noise? - That's what gets me, man. Like, yeah, I don't hear that. Like, I can understand if there is. - Yeah, man. - That was a shootout. - Yeah, that was multiple weapons. - People don't know fast enough. When I see these videos, I'm like, "Yeah, I don't not see what's going on." Maybe I've heard a lot of shootings. - That was a long one. - That was a lot. - That was a lot. - And it's not a fireworks show during your game. - No, no. - I don't know, man. - When I lived in East Dallas, it would happen a lot. And I just figured that it was people shooting in their backyard. They're not shooting at each other. - It's just fun. - 'Cause one time it was actually me, you know? - Yeah. - I got this air rifle that was loud as a 22. And I boomed it. And I thought it was just gonna power it, you know, like a daisy or a crossman or something, but it went loud. And then I looked on the neighborhood app and they were talking about something that just turned out. - Oh, no. - It was me this time. I'm sorry. - Yeah, that's what we do with my dad's house. He lives over there by Joe Poole, way up there on heels in the bluffs. - He's way up on the bluffs. - And I'll be in the backyard. (buzzer sounds) - Yeah. (buzzer sounds) - You'll see him be Sam out there. Hey, speaking of shootings and whatnot, this rapper, Chicago rapper Lil Law, he's a drill rapper. He was shooting a video and then shooting started interrupting during the video shoot. Like, there was another shoot out. (buzzer sounds) - Whoa, yeah. - That's close. - Bro, it was like a fourth of July finale. - We're doing a lot. - Listen to that, they got some guns. - Oh, wow. - Yeah. - Automatic. - That's a war. - Yeah. (crowd talking) - Still going. - Still going. - Still going. - Still going. - Still going. - Still going. - Seeing inch coverage of the, did it a bunch of day. - Yeah. (buzzer sounds) - Web boy has some bull right there. - Somebody went to his car. - Somebody opened the trunk. - Open the trunk. - Why? - Scary out here, bro. It's scary hours. We are so unserious. (buzzer sounds) So unserious. Be careful, please, people. LA Live 105, three defend on the Toxic Tools Day. The first LA City Council meeting of October happened today. - Sweet. - I watched it while you guys were prepping. - Please. - I got some of the highlights for you. LA is not a serious place either. LA is not a serious place. By the way, LA Los Angeles City Council members earned about 218 K per year. - Okay. - Okay, so they paid enough to take this beating. - Yeah. - This guy right here is talking about all the violence on Figueroa. - Good morning. So you have three minutes for the items and one minute for general. Please begin with the items. - Did you say I could read 42? Or we off that one again. - 42 has been continued. - Pardon me? - 42 has been continued. - Oh, thank you, pumpkin head. - Oops. - Now that we don't talk about down to Los Angeles on Figueroa, let's go to item 39.

Paul Concordian, Armenian dictator, has continued not to support violence awareness against (beep) (beep) (beep) (beep) (beep) (beep) (beep) - So this is not on the agenda. You need to tie it more closely to the agenda. I'm gonna move you to general public comment. This is your only warning. How you gonna warning at that? - How did you just get a warning, bro? - Let me tell you what, they're being a little bit more stern with this, though, Lucius, don't they just let them just go? - Yeah, just let you go. - But this guy kind of stepped in like, listen, you're out of bounds here. You need to kind of tighten this up, yeah. - You need to slow down a little bit. - Yeah. - I got a few more clips, but why don't you just don't have the time for it? I'll play you one more. You can call in via phone and complain about things too. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. - They should not allow this. - No, it's like C-Span. - Yeah. - That's my open up again, worms. - Which items would you like to speak to? - What item you got today, that pumpkin head. - Okay. - Actually, I'm always request all items.

Friday, you said something about probation. I wonder if I get on probation, do I have to come down there once a week and be in a cut for you there, brother? - So, again, this is not on the agenda, so please stick to the agenda. This is your only warning, or I'm gonna move you to general? - Well, what about probation? We spoke about that, because I need to know, because I gotta make time for you, and to tick down, I don't figure it all, 'cause you know, then $5 ain't gonna spin themselves. - All right, so-- - One minute for general public comment. Go ahead. - Right, that's what I was talking about. With probation, you said something about probation, and all that. Will you be my PO by the chance? Because my last PO was a hot chick, and after first somebody licked on them, they're gonna have the PO, and if you're not gonna be in the cut, I'd give it to a nice little lady, not a little big pumpkin. It ain't fair like you, but I'm-- - None of this is 'cause of subject manager's fiction of the city, so this is your only warning. Please stick to the general public comment. Go ahead. - But damn, public it, you ain't no kind of damn help today, brother. - Geez. - These guys are improv genius. - Yeah, they're pretty good. - They're pretty good. - Yeah, they're pretty good.
