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.
