only had Dodger Vienna Sausage.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Felipe as far as he's on with us right now.
So you're a Dodgers fan, you're a Raiders fan. I
mean it must feel good to be a Dodgers fan,
because I mean the Dodgers are out there actively winning,
They're getting the team, they're building the team better and
better every year.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Like, what does it feel like to be a Dodger
fan right now?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Man? First of all, I've been a Dodger sat as
I was a little kids. Man, I I got to
beet tomasda one. Oh man, my mom, she wants to
make out with Steve Garvey. I love front of Venezuela.
First of I'm a hardcore Dodgers fan. Bro that I remember.
(03:06):
I was in Monoey, California. U huh and Reggie Jackson,
Reggie Jackson, mister October was having was having breakfast and
my friend tapped on me, Hello Reggie Jackson, right, and
I was so star structs. I love Bergie Jackson, you know,
but still I love it. I love him. So I
shook his hand and I set the wrong thing to
(03:28):
him because I came out of my mouth. I said,
when I was a little boy, I saw Bob Wouch
strike you on in the World Series. You told him that, yeah, man,
sat my hand around.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
He was.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
He got mad, and then my friend said, but he
came back the next day and hit three home runs.
He goes, I know what, you're dead. Your friend has anisia.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
That's how diehard you are.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
You're like, look, man, I remember when you got struck
out and how excited I was.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, I was excited, Bro, he was he was. He
was batting for like thirty minutes, fall balls, then he
strikes out.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Damn, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
You got to meet mister October and that's exactly what
you told him.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
No wonder man, I said the wrong thing. But I
did a show for the Dodgers man last year, before
that yearly won the World Series. I was right before
spring training. There is spring training, and I said that
I'm glad that you guys. I'm glad that every other
Dodgers showed up here for the show. I hope, I
(04:29):
hope Kershaw shows up in October and he don't playoffs WEEKD.
I ed to think that I was a Dodger curse
because I will go to a lot of Dodging games
and they will lose. Bro.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
So you felt like anytime you stepped inside Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
It wasn't gonna go.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Well, I'm serious, bro, George Lopez. As a matter of fact,
he invited me to the Dodgers Versus after the World
Series in Houston, Texas in George Lopez. Yeah, so he's like,
we were sitting, bro in twenty thousand dollars seats. Damn,
(05:09):
And I had to give George Lopez my liver at
Kitty at the end of the game. But I was
very nice of him. I'll never forget he took me
to a baseball game. Like it felt like being there
was like, I don't know, man, I just felt good
to be there. Was like somebody that you were respected
the comics, and that's what I was gonna ask you.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I mean, it must have been a great feeling that
George asked you to go and watch the.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Game with him.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Man. A lot of a lot of a lot of
things said about George, you know, like he has never
helped Latino comics, but it's just that you don't have
to if you don't want to. But he helped me,
man so, and he's done a lot of good things.
But he's not one of those people that once a
million likes for doing something nice to somebody. He just
(05:57):
does it and does it, you know, the way, the
way he should be. He does these old school you know,
like he'll donate for a cause, but he will. He's
not up there bragging about it.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
You have a good relationship with George, like you said,
you went to the game with him.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
On top of that, you did.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
A relationship with George Lopez and Parrodriguez. Bro it's like
beating a meeting friends with your mom, with your parents,
and you're stuck in a in a custody battle.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Ah that that has to be tough, because you're right.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I mean there's a lot of clashing heads.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Yes, because I have a podcast and a popular podcast,
by the way, and I let anybody be on, and
I have Paradriguez on, and he was talking about George
and we just let him. We just let Para Driguez
talk and he talked and he talks, and everything he

when they're working, when they're practicing, he can be in
the training so he on he could go there before

the locker. Now, you might as well put on a
Raider uniform and take us to excellence.
