00:00A new way to wake up.
00:02Amy and Sean on 1027 VGS.
00:04All right, here's what you need to know today.
00:06So the Oakland Athletics, it seemed like they might be out of our grasp.
00:10It seemed like, you know, Oakland's getting the rack together.
00:14Maybe we're not going to get the team.
00:15Don't count us out yet.
00:17Phil Ruffin, he owns the TI, he owns Circus Circus.
00:21He owns a whole bunch of stuff.
00:23He is flying to Oakland today to have a little meeting with the Athletics.
00:28What's up for offer?
00:29Well, according to the RJ, it is the Las Vegas Festival Grounds right across the street
00:33from the Sahara, at Sahara and the Strip.
00:36So I think people get that title confused with the Festival Grounds, obviously, on the south
00:40side of the Strip.
00:41No, totally different.
00:43And that corner, I mean, like, they don't do a lot with that land.
00:46Right.
00:47There's occasionally some concerts there, but otherwise, it's just sitting there looking
00:50pretty.
00:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:50Wow.
00:51So is he on that part?
00:52Yeah, I guess so.
00:53Wow.
00:54So, yeah.
00:55Interesting.
00:55Well, yeah, who knows?
00:57Fingers crossed, I guess.
00:58I just feel like it's been such a back and forth.
01:01But also...
01:01We're definitely being used as a pawn.
01:03Yeah.
01:03But remember when with the Raiders, it was like, are we going to get him?
01:07Are we not?
01:07And then it was going back and forth for so long.
01:10And then all of a sudden it's like, OK, we're getting him.
01:12Start digging.
01:12Let's go.
01:13So we also gave them three quarters of a billion dollars.
01:15That helps.
01:16Yeah.
01:16I don't think we're doing that with this one, but we'll see.
01:19Oakland City Council returning from a break later this month.
01:22And who knows?
01:22They're working on a deal over there, too.
01:24We didn't talk about this story on the show because, frankly, it was really dark.
01:30There was a guy that was attacked in Summerlin, 80-year-old man, attacked in Summerlin, being
01:34chased by a younger guy with a weapon, tried to fire the weapon.
01:40It wouldn't fire.
01:41Multiple times.
01:42I mean, it was some of the scariest video I've ever seen.
01:46They have supposedly caught that suspect, which is fantastic.
01:50Pretty awesome.
01:50Yeah.
01:51Armando Dangerfield busted in Mesa, Arizona, facing a ton of counts being held in Arizona
01:56at the moment.
01:57Yeah.
01:58Cheyenne in the 215 is where that took place in the Summerlin area there.
02:01And just that video was a heartbreaker.
02:03Thank goodness.
02:04Thank gosh she's OK.
02:05Yeah.
02:05Everything's all right.
02:06And I guess he'd done the same thing in Arizona.
02:10Wow.
02:10Yeah.
02:11Well, good.
02:11Wow, they got him.
02:12Yep, for sure.
02:13And then finally, OK, this breaks my heart because I was a Little League kid.
02:17Love baseball.
02:19Summerlin South Jr.'s all-star team back in 2020, they were doing really good.
02:22They were on their way potentially to Williamsport to play the Little League World Series.
02:26And then COVID stupid 19 gets in the way and they were unable to go all the way.
02:32Yeah.
02:33Well, kids age out.
02:34That stinks.
02:35Right.
02:36But they decided, you know what?
02:37It's 2022.
02:38Let's get the gang back together.
02:39Yeah.
02:39That's what they've done.
02:40They've been competing in the juniors now in a junior league.
02:43Uh-huh.
02:44Doing really well.
02:45Just winning constantly.
02:47And they are now headed to Bend, Oregon for the West Regionals.
02:50Wow.
02:50Potentially going to the World Series in Michigan.
02:53Oh, my gosh.
02:53That's so awesome.
02:55They did not give up on their dream.
02:56They do need help, though.
02:57They expect if they end up making it all the way to Michigan, it's going to cost the whole
03:00team about $40,000 to pull this off.
03:02Yeah.
03:03They have a GoFundMe right now.
03:05$10,000 is their ask.
03:07They're, I think, at $4,500 or so.
03:09Okay.
03:09You can go to 1027VGS.com.
03:11We have the link right there.
03:12And you can make a donation.
03:13And let's get these guys there and finally getting a chance.
03:17Because imagine.
03:17Yeah.
03:18You only get one shot at that.
03:19If you want to text baseball to 702-597-1027, we'll kick you back the link so you can see
03:24that.
03:24Do you know, or so you can donate there.
03:26Do you know, the same thing happened to Jaden when, so 2020, he played flag football for
03:33this league that was at Gorman, and every year since he was five years old, and he never
03:40won a championship.
03:41This year, we were, 2020, we were undefeated.
03:45Jaden had so many touchdowns on the season.
03:47We won the first round of playoffs.
03:50The championship game was canceled, and we-
03:53They never made it up.
03:54Never made it up.
03:56How crazy is that?
03:57Okay.
03:58Can we get that going?
03:59I know.
04:00I know.
04:00He is, football is his, like, passion, and he's never, ever, ever won a trophy or anything,
04:06and that was the year in the championship game.
04:09So they didn't hand a trophy to anyone that year?
04:11Nobody.
04:12And they never made it up.
04:13They never made it up.
04:14Isn't that devastating?
04:15And honestly, Jaden's over it.
04:17Patrick's over it.
04:18I'm not over it.
04:19I'm not over it at all.
04:20I have no skin in this game at all.
04:22Who is this, Gorman?
04:23It was, well, yeah, it's called Next Level Sports.
04:26Next Level.
04:27Yeah.
04:28Make this happen.
04:29I don't care if they're grown men at this point.
04:31If it's a kid's league, just let them go.
04:33I know.
04:34It's so bad.
04:35It's so heartbreaking.
04:36That stinks.
04:37Oh, man.
04:38I don't want participation trophies.
04:40No.
04:40I want them playing for the championship.
04:41I'm telling you.
04:42And that's why I loved the league.
04:43You don't get participation trophies.
04:45Yes.
04:45You just don't do it.
04:46So I would like-
04:47They blame us.
04:48They blame us for participation trophies.
04:50Our generation is blamed for participation trophies.
04:52I know.
04:52Isn't that crazy?
04:53We're not the ones.
04:54No.
04:54It's not us.
04:54It was our parents.
04:56Our parents are like, I paid $200 to get in this league.
04:58Give them a trophy.
04:59That's what it was.
05:01Our parents cannot-
05:02But it's not our fault.
05:03God.
