(01:30):
iHeartRadio app. David Vasse this hourdown in San Diego, trying to get
an update on Hayward coming back andwhat is going on with an exciting series.
I think if the Dodgers got sweptthis weekend, we'd feel pretty bad
about it. Yes, we would. You know, it would be a

(01:51):
hell of a buenos dias from ourpadres. And that goes back to the
text thos or questioning us, notbullying DJ about the padre. Uh,
there's no there's no win there.Did the Dodger's sweep He'll say, well,
of course they swept. The payrolls three hundred million dollars. I
mean, what's a big deal.You know they lose. He gotta wear
it. He disarmed us with askingour advice early for his bloated mole,

(02:15):
and somebody somebody sent me a textthat said I went to the doctor and
showed him a suspicious mole, andhe told me, all the moles look
like that. Don't take it outof the garden. Interesting, what what
if I want to if I don'tlike it in my guard, don't bring

(02:35):
it looks like a weed, don'tbring it to the doctor. All right,
Matt, we'll keep a Dodger themegoing this hour. How about this
his words the word of the day. A lot of Dodger talk. We
had off night Dodger Talk, FarmReport, Tim Kats yesterday. We had
a lot of conversation about that.We mixed it up with some listeners.
Some people were insulted. It wasreally a standard day in great sports talk

(03:00):
yesterday, great sports talk. Butdo not be confused if you're watching the
game tonight on Spectrum Sports Net.And I'm sure it will be mentioned on
the radio broadcast. But three differentDodgers, Matt, have changed their numbers.
How about that? Is that right? Yeah? Michael, Michael Grove
is now number twenty nine. Hewas wearing one hundred and twenty nine,

(03:23):
right, was he like in theseventies or something way up there? The
priapism of stone our favorite our favoritestone boner out there, the Washington Monument
of the West Coast. Gavin Stonehas changed to number thirty five. He
was seventy one, so way upthere and the big one hero to the

(03:49):
people and Cuban American superstar. AndI don't know if his resurgent means that
outman is dead. It might meanthat Chris Taylor, right, Remember you
heard Dave Andy PAHs from eighty fourto forty four, Okay, Michael Grove,

(04:16):
Yeah, Michael Grove is twenty nine, Gavin Stone is thirty five.
Andy pa Has is forty four.So it feels like the lower your number
is, or when they let youchoose the lower number, it means that
you are not going to be inthe air headed back to OKC. Yeah,
or going to high five mister Higginsany times say you're in the eighties,

(04:39):
your your time is limited. You'rein the forties. Okay. Now,
if your Manny Ramirez in your ninetynine, it's not because you've assaulted
a travel secretary. It's because that'sjust your thing, right, exactly right,
right, Yes, Kate, Daveis a big uniform number guy,
so he could answer this probably bestwhen he comes on in about twenty minutes.

(05:01):
But I was just quickly thinking whowas the last Dodger to wear forty
four? Oh? I remembered itimmediately. And I'm not a big number
guy, but I remember because hewas our friend, Darryl Strawberry. Oh,
no, Rich Hill was forty four. Oh, was America's pitcher number
forty four? Yeah? Rich Hillwas four. I think he was right.

(05:23):
I feel like I remember. Yeah, come over to a similar guy
to uh, Darryl Strawberry. Imean I forgot about Rich Hill. My
bad. Yeah, Rich Hill wereforty four and the straw Dog he did,
right, Yeah he did. Yeah, he did. H and not
not for all the other teams heplayed for, but no, the Dodgers.
Just remember I remember that uniform.No, he did have the forty
four for the Dodgers, no doubtabout that. And now it is going

(05:45):
to be Poe Hass And it wasDarryl Strawberry, the straw Dog from Crenshaw,
very much like Rich Hill, almostthe same guy. Kind of hard
to tell him apart. Yeah,and that you know you you reserve that
number for certain styles of play.Strawberry Hill, same guy. I actually
found a list on Baseball Almanac aboutpeople who were forty four for the Dodgers.

(06:10):
Okay, at one point, RichHill, you said Vicente Padilla before
that briefly, I guess a jEllis wore Takashi Saito or number forty four,
Mark gut three, Darryl Strawberry,Jose Viscaino, Ken landro Ca Landro

(06:30):
and Al Downing were forty four.One of the great interviews in the history
of the Petros and Money show.That's a clown question, bro Al Downing.
Nobody more recent than rich Hill.Actually there were wow, friend of
the show, he only cussed likenine thousand times, Tommy Kinley because the

(06:56):
most curse words spit out in afour minute span in the history of our
show. Anybody else now now thatit's gone to pious, anybody else?
Andre Jackson? Briefly? But Imean that was really a brief in twenty
three. So what were the othernumbers that they got changed? P forty
four for pious? What's uh?What's the Grovy Grove? He's twenty nine
now twenty nine. Rovy Grove istwenty nine and thirty five is the stone

(07:19):
bone. So there're you going bonefive thirty five? What's his name?
Kevin Durant, Yeah, twenty ninewas Adrian Beltre. No. Thirty five
was Bellinger, wasn't it? Yes? Yes, good, yes, yeah,
and Kevin Durant and Durant here's yournumber the day forty seven. This
is not good. Well, it'sgood and it's not good. We figured

(07:41):
it out. Pe Uh. Thisguy may may his balls shrivel up and
he becomes a eunuch. Wow.The Petrosen Money Show is your Fat Burger
show of record, and it's notclose. No, Matt, I've long
held a very close relationship with theFat Burger on the corner of pH and
Palace ert He's Boulevard and Redondo Beachsince childhood. Yes, yours goes deeper

(08:05):
and further back than mine. Earlynineties. I discovered Fat Burger as an
intern at PolyGram, the one rightthere up off of gaily By UCLA.
Yes, it's also very popular stillthere. Yes, at DreamWorks. We
would regularly go to. I believeMagic Johnson owned it, the one at
San Vicente and Losienega, that littleFat Burger Hut. There was a time

(08:28):
that he owned them all. Yeah, that one has gone, the one
from Los Ienaga, that was theone in the Tupac to live and die
in La Video, right, andthen when the wife and I got married
and bought our first house in WoodlandHills, we lived less than a mile
from the one on Ventura. Therestill there, but what should have been
a five guys like expansion because they'reburgers, fat burgers, sensational. Yeah,

(08:54):
I've always felt that way. Theygot a char for God's sakes,
when I could order the King onthe char because they have a char grill
in there separates it. But insteadof massive expansion, p instead of fat
burgers deep into Orange County. Ithink the closest one to hear is on
Kowanga. Yeah, there's there's stilla few, and there's one right down
the street from Universal Studios, andlike La most of them are in La

(09:18):
but Orange County has none. There'sone on one. There was one on
Wilshire and Highland and in a stripmall. I don't know if it's still
there. I used to like thatone when I lived in Ktown. There's
none in the Inland Empire. There'sa couple and one or two. Of
course, we know about our favoriteone because when we go to Moronco.
We want fat burgers. They loveus Wallburgers. But it's a terrible it's
a terrible fight, it really is. And I don't know why they insist

(09:41):
upon giving us Wallburgers when it's like, hey, this restaurant is in your
your casino as well, right now, do we do and express? Yeah,
but it's stalled out. Fat Burgersstalled out. And maybe this is
why is there's a magic fault ahole. It is not Magic's fault.
Andrew and I you know, youknow the name is it Whiderhorn or Whederhorn.

(10:03):
I don't know. Former CEO,Well, his son Fayer is married
to some broad on Real Housewives ofBeverly Hills. Or he's married to the
daughter of someone's Beverly Hills. Ithink her name is Brinn or something like.
She's the daughter of Kim somebody.Anyway, this guy Weederhorn, CEO

(10:26):
of Fat Brands, company that ownsFat Burger, indicted on federal chargers forty
seven million dollars sham loan scheme companymoney. This guy looks like a real
bad guy too, right, categorizedas shareholder loans handed over to Andy and
his spawn they're devil people for theirpersonal benefit instead of pumping it back into

(10:48):
the company. And growing Fat Burgerand expanding for the world to see what
a dominant dish they serve. Hebought a half a million dollar rolls that
he used to drive around Beverly Hills, private jet trips, vacations, other
lugery cars. Jewelry, really jewelry, Leederhorn instead of an extra fat Burger
in Orange County, you're getting jewelry, quoting from the indictment. Instead of

(11:09):
looking out for shareholders, the defendantallegedly treated the company as his personal slush
fund, in violation of federal law. Now else, prisoners, turn your
colon into a slush fund. Oh, Matt, what I want more fat
Burger locations, not more private jettrips for him and his bs family,
fat brands much like you know,Young Brands or whatever, but much smaller.

(11:31):
They also own Roundtable, which isgreat pizza. And they own pizza.
It's great. King Arthur, comeon, and they owned Johnny Rockets,
which used to be great, usedto be till this guy probably took
over. Yeah, now they're allleave Why because this guy? Really it's
interesting. It's interesting that you bringup the and I don't watch these shows

(11:52):
very closely, if at all anymore. But I used to know a lot
of the people involved, and weused those some of them because Sweet James
was married to a woman who wason one of those shows. And before
that, we used to have oneof the ladies come up that do show
at KFI from the Real Housewives.So in my experience over the years meeting

(12:13):
some of these people or being aroundsome of these people, are knowing some
of these people. And we hadone of them mentioned another guy didn't know
boyagion I guess mentioned with the shoea otaniy right right from the old say
O Sea Housewives, and he wastaking money from me paid. But it
could be O Sea Housewives. Itcould be Potomac, which is like the
DC. It could be Beverly Hills, It could be Atlanta, it could

(12:39):
be Salt Lake City, Miami,Dallas, any of these places. Ninety
chance that they're some kind of whitecollar criminal because they're trying to in the
future. They're trying to keep upsome ridiculous facade of this rich person who
lives a social life that is necessaryto put on television and fight with these

(13:03):
other people. It must be displayedmaterially right, And they try so hard
to get on these shows because Iwatched it with Sweet James's ex. They
try like it's their life's work tolink up with these people and the production
and to get on these shows,and almost almost exclusively they go to jail.

(13:24):
Or the girl from New Jersey wasin jail, Teresa Judaice or jud
Ja went to jail. The womanwho was married to the Special Teams who
was married to the Special Teams coordinator. Jail, jail, A lot of
white collar crime in the house.I went to jail for fifteen months for
a previous finding. This was funny, right, So he he previously up

(13:48):
in Portland, gets popped, getslocked up for fifteen months. Shady company
keeps paying him while he's incarcerated.They give him a two million dollar bonus
or something for the two million domeethat went along with his prison sentence.
And when he gets out, hesues his country club for kicking him out,
saying there have been other guys thathave been arrested and sent to jail

(14:11):
that they haven't kicked. Fat Burger, Yes, Fat Burger, he ran
it into the ground, throw awaythe key. May he go to prison
forever? Boot the family from theboard of directors reset. Let's expand Fat
Burger, make Fat Burger great again. It is all alleged, of course,
it's just an indictment. But maythe water Horns be removed from all

(14:35):
of their board positions and seats onthe board of directors at Fat Brands so
we can make fat Burger great again. I'm totally with you, Matt.
I've always you know, I'm ahuge proponent ever since my childhood for Fat
Burger, very popular with the Greekcommunity in Redondo Beach. After lent the

(14:56):
line at Fat Burger after the midnightservice on Easter, goes out the door,
out the door, and you knowthey make hot dogs still too,
Yeah, fat fries, hot dogs. Char Hey, who goes to the
Burger It's got everything? Who goesto Fat Burger and orders skinny fries like
a bitch? Right right, you'refat Burger. What are you doing now?

(15:20):
Did yours also have the I thinkthe Woodland Hills might have been the
only one that had the little quarterjukebox. Oh no, no, no,
no, that was no. Thejuke box was was very prevalent throughout
not as much anymore, but thatwas like kind of the thing they did,
like a real jukebox vibe for along time. The one on Losienega
had a beautiful jukebox. Yeah,and there was a time that Magic I
think owned all of them, didhe really? Yeah? I think so.

(15:43):
And then and then didn't for alittle while, but he screwed him
up to thanks Magic, you jerk. My old friend who passed last year,
the old linebacker for the Steelers.Uh, he would come into town
and just park at that the FatBurger and Redondo and never has anybody wanted
anybody out. They wanted him toleave the restaurants so badly. Such a

(16:04):
distraction, Ronnie. We need asong of the day. This is a
song of the day, and asong of the day you will receive by
the Delta Spirit, a five pieceband from San Diego and a great live
band if you ever get a chance, and they supply today's song of the

(16:26):
day called trash Can, a highspirited tune for a Frogman Friday on the
Petros and Money Show, where greatsports Talk is on a flex alert due
to Dodger Baseball obviously, who areback in action and on the road down
south in the city of San Diegowhere the Dodgers will spend the weekend at
Petco Park with those Padres and timCats. Will have your Morongo Casino Dodgers

(16:49):
on deck show ready to go thisafternoon at five thirty. And I want
to say this, Matt, thehabit is nowhere near as good as fat
Burger. No, it's good,it's not fat. We're trying to act
like the habit is fat Burger isnot right. No, it's not,
because it's not. You're absolutely right, Matt. May this guy get his

(17:10):
colo really slush funded. I Ilove the fat Burger, Matt, Yeah,
thank you for bringing it up,because the habit is not the same.
It's not I don't want to hearit. It's a good burger,
it's not fat Burger. Also,fat Burger is the sanctioned burger of the
Black Man. Cannot go overstated now, and we want to meet. Had

(17:38):
been able to expand it. Nobetter Meating meat was a one off though,
no better beating meat on Pico wasa one off exactly, and it's
since closed sadly. But that wasthe burger of the black Man. Hawkins
Burger down in the Watts area,I think. But as far as the
chain goes, Fat Burger deserves better. You're absolutely right, Matt coming up

(18:00):
next, David Vase. You deservebetter. That's why Dave's coming on.
At the follow button on the iHeartRadioaut get the latest notifications like when Dodger's
on Deck's about to start five thirty, first pitch of the Dodger game six
forty, and when the Petros andMoney podcast post. Pretty much at the
top of every hour we complete,which so far has been one full hour

(18:22):
and thirty minutes because we were flexedback to two o'clock and Daniel Jeremiah joined
us little bit earlier. We'll alert, but joining us right now David Vasse
Live Dodger with an inside look atthe Dodgers. This is the Vass Report

(18:42):
with David Vasse. He just walkedout of the clubhouse Spectrum Sports Net MLB
Network and our guy right here onAM five seventy LA Sports the best of
the best, made it down toSan Diego and now he's on the soakap
teioda dealer celebrity hotline. Pet callon the field. What's cracking, Dave?
How are you? Everything's great?Petros. I got attagged as I

(19:06):
was walking into Pecco by a PMSlistener that told me to take it easy
on you, and I barked backat him, and then he barked back
at me, and then I wentinside the gate for some protection. Your
dogs off me. I'm sorry.I haven't been down to San Diego since
Matt and I did that show downthere. I would have got a ticket.
Yeah, I haven't been around.I haven't even never even been to

(19:26):
Petco. But you got there earlyto see Evan Phillips and Jason Hayward as
far as their injury updates went,how's that going well? Jason Hayward is
getting really close to returning. Afterthe Dodgers leaf San Diego for San Francisco,
he's expected to go out on ashort rehab assignment. Today, he
was facing live pitching. The Dodgersbrought in a minor leaguer to throw to

(19:49):
him. He was running the basesand after he was done. This is
a type of pro that Jason Haywardis, he stopped and said, hey,
you guys want an update, andhe revealed that he did have two
separate type of injections to get hisback to cooperate because it was still locking
up. And ever since then,about six days ago, it started to
turn the corner, so he's headedin the right direction, and more than

(20:12):
likely, when the Dodgers return homefrom this road trip, Jason Hayward will
be activated. So what does thatmean, Dave. I know we're asking
to speculate, and it ends thetime in the big leagues for one particular
player, and that's never fun totry to project without knowing for sure.
But when the Reds come to townand Hayward's out there, who isn't on

(20:32):
the bench? Well, it's rightnow the obvious choices are either James Outman
or Chris Taylor. For me,it just doesn't seem like it would benefit
James Outman to be sent to theminor leagues. And he's starting to hit
the ball harder, he's starting toget more results, and the Dodgers do
need an extra lefty on the bench. They have a lot of righties when

(20:55):
the bullpens turn over, and theyneed a lefty to come up late in
the game. So look, theDodgers found a way to maneuver the roster
last year with Max Muntsey. ChrisTaylor has one of the highest pain tolerances
that any Dodger has. He maybe protecting an injury right now that we
don't know about that affecting him tobe as bad as he's been at the

(21:18):
plate. So look, there's twodifferent directions they can go in. That's
one half of it. The otherhalf, of course, is the pitching.
And with Walker Buehler back, whatdo you think we should expect Dave
in his second start on Sunday,what should we be looking for? Well,
the Dodgers begin thirteen in a rowtonight, and Walker Buehler is out

(21:40):
here right now throwing a bullpen session. I would believe that you're going to
start looking for more efficient starts.He went fornings last time in his first
start in almost two years. Youwould expect with every start the russ to
come off a little bit more.And pitchers that have had only one Tommy
John let alone too. Tommy Johnsurgeries have talked about the last thing to

(22:03):
come is the command of your fastballto feel in your fingers, So I
would expect that to come back witheach and every start as well. Glass
now's going tonight, Dave, andwe knew it was a big deal.
You knew it was a big dealwhen you were there at Brad Paisley's ranch
house, and the deal was beingdiscussed between the Tampa Bay GM and Andrew
Friedman, and it's a big deal. Now, is he better than you

(22:26):
thought he would be or as goodas advertised? At least I never got
to see him pitch every day,Petros him buried out there in Tampa Bay.
But he's been more than what Iexpected, just the dominance. He's
just so dominant so far to startthe year. And there was one start
I remember where he did not havehis curveball working, and that's where he

(22:48):
looked human. And I had heardthat when he doesn't have his curveball,
he kind of searches, and ifhe doesn't have his fastball command, then
it could be a long day forhim. But we've only seen one of
those starts, and I would argueright now, Tyler Glass now is the
leading candidate after a month of baseballto be the National League All Star Game
starter. I don't want to getinto Cy Young. There's a long way

(23:11):
to go, but at least forthe Midsummer Classic, there's nobody else that's
having as good of a year oras dominant of a year as Glass now
in the National League and I guessif you take out I know there was
one other rough start for Yamamoto,but you had the crazy start in South
Korea. But since then, Imean, he's last two. What have

(23:32):
you noticed it's different, Dave?How much is it a comfort level?
Is it the way he's pitching?What has gone into these last two starts
against Arizona and Miami that have beenso dominant and a lot longer than we're
used to. He's becoming unpredictable rightjash Chisholm got him on a first pitch
fastball in his last start, andthen after that he threw a bunch of
strikes nineteen in a row. He'susing his split finger to his advantage the

(23:56):
curveball, and he just seems toset in as the game goes along.
The first inning is always a bigproblem for him so far this year,
and I'm not sure why, butafter that he seems to cruise. But
I still believe that he has alot more to prove. I wouldn't say
that he has figured out the league. I would say the league is,

(24:18):
you know, finding ways to getadvantages off of him that he needs to
combat and be very nimble as thegame is going on, David was,
I don't know, maybe a monthago the Padres were up here, and
I think they were up here,and you got the interview with Will Smith
and he said that Profar was irrelevantor because he thought he got thrown at,

(24:41):
and there was that argument and thenhe hit a home run and then
the mister irrelevant and all that backand forth. I totally forgot about that.
But here they are Dodgers Padres again. Is there a lot of talk
about that. We know how bitterthey can get down there in San Diego.
Well, I was in the clubhouseand a couple of players told me
profile has really taken off ever sinceWill call them mister irrelevant. So there's

(25:07):
shirts being sold on road a wearcalling him mister irrelevant. He does some
strenk and base thing. He's thehottest Padre hitter since all that took place.
So the Dodgers need to cool offProfar, to cool off all this
mystery irrelevant talk or misterr relevant talk. All right, Dave, I'll ask
it. What do you expect fromPaxton tomorrow? Has he turned a corner

(25:30):
after that dominant outing against the Braves? Well, Austin Barnes caught him in
that start. He helped him getthrough it. He had the magic fingers
working and was helping him keep thebraves off balance. I feel like it's
start to start with Paxton, right. We forget that he's thirty five and
has a bad right knee. Ifeel like part of that's attributed to how

(25:52):
his knee is responding each and everystart. So we'll have to wait and
see, all right, Dave,last thing for you, and some of
these guys like Stone and po Has, they're getting their numbers changed and looks
like they're gonna stick around. You'reyou're very interested and good at Dodger numerology,
Dave. So what does it mean? Well, number thirty five was

(26:17):
last worn by Cody Bellinger, sothat's a big number. And Bob Welch
war thirty five. Bobby Welch,you want to talk pictures that were thirty
five, Bobby Welch, Jim Gottand they've all worn thirty five, like
Gavin Stone is now wearing now.And as far as forty four goes your
guy, Daryl Strawberry wore forty four, Toda, Kenny Landro. Kenny Landro

(26:40):
wore forty four for the Dodgers.Rich Hill wore forty four. So those
are some big time numbers right there. And what about twenty nine? Look
at Dave. Adrian beltre Enough saidridiculous. It's tough day. Thank you,
Yes, well done. Who's onpregame tonight, Dave profar I would

(27:07):
say, no, Petrows. MaybeWill Smith wants to do a circle back
with me, right maybe, ormaybe you could ask those guys about the
number. You know what, Itjust popped into my head, Dave,
Because rich Hill does have a heckof a sense of humor. Do you
think he knew that forty four atone point belonged to Darryl Strawberry and by
taking it the combo formed Strawberry Hillthe Great Boons Farm Liquor that we did

(27:33):
get a great discount. Great question, Matta. I have trouble believing rich
Hill even realized he was wearing fortyfour at times copy that all right,
well, thank you, Dave,have a great night down there. Thank
you guys, you too, Yourvoice sounds way better, thank you?
All right, that's good stuff fromDave. Aass a. It's got to

(27:56):
watch himself when he gets out ofthere. You know, well, this
thing has become a That's what Imean. You get spit out into the
gas lamp with all those drunks,hobos and drunks. Matt, you know,
San Diego is such a mess,nothing like La nothing. You know,
we're in great shape. Every streets, law abiding citizens. That's what
we got up here, law andorder. Every time that's us down there,

(28:18):
looks like the Purge. It's aforever person, all right, Stick
with us, The Petroson Buddy Show. More to come on A five seventy
LA Sports Flip, Top Story,top story of the day, Dead and
Alive, quick hits, fun fact, Dodger action, all weekend long,

(28:40):
all right with Tyler Glass now onthe mound. As Dave said, forget
the cy Young too far away.Yeah, get excited about Glass now,
Matt, Get excited right, Getexcited about him starting the All Star Game.
That is how well he is pitchedso far. I'm gonna talk about
the cy Young. It's too fardown the road way too. But July
All Star break come on. That'slike tomorrow six first pitch tonight. So

(29:00):
a lot to talk about. Wehad a lot of great sports talk earlier,
great sports talk. We got tothe bottom of some things with Victor
Brick. I guess Daniel Jeremiah cameon. We've talked number changes with David
Vasse. We had a word numbersong. We had a lot of fat

(29:22):
Burger talk, which always gets peoplegoing, oh yeah. And of course
a lot of people are texting aboutthe death of Sam Rubin, which is
really really sad. Yeah, toughday to day, Sean Burr, John
Burrows. I found out about lastnight from some Marble Long Beach people,
some baseball people, and he wasa great guy and just absolutely beloved in
that community. Just horrible the ShawnBurrows and Sam Rubin news. There's no

(29:48):
doubt about it. But that doesnot qualify you as the dead guy.
Birthday of the day, guys,we that's totally different. Celebrate your birthday,
right right. So anyway, sadnews, there's no doubt about it,
and sad for Tim Conway and MarkThompson. They were very close with
Sam Rubin. And what can wedo but move forward in the world of

(30:11):
great sports talk, it's time forsome more textosos in reaction matter, brought
to you by your so called Toyotadealers. We make it easy, didn't
Chuck Finley's wife used to be onthe Real Housewives. No, Tawny Katine
who beat the crap out of ChuckFinley. And she's the girl from the
White Snake video doing the splits onthe Jaguar. Am I going to go

(30:33):
again? On my own? Shewas on like I'm a celebrity, Get
me out of here, or TheSurreal The Surreal Life or something like that.
But anytime we can bring up thatshe literally beat Chuck Finley in the
Hamburger, which is not good.I mean, that's a bad thing.
We don't support that. But areyou still with us? I don't think

(30:55):

gas stations specifically for truckers. Okay, it's good to know. I've got
to work at a gas station.Yeah. I got a few other uh
texts of uh of fat burgers thathave a liquor license around uh like a

(31:17):
fat bar so to speak around uhmore rural California areas. So that's pretty
good. Okay. Brian Vance,that's our traffic guy. Is he working
today, Ronnie? Is it BrianVance today? Yeah? Brian Vance?
Hi, Brian Vince is working today? Bedros So, I'm glad you asked.
Brian Vance is one hundred percent anai bo o fair. Do you

(31:42):
think he's a bod? I don'tthink he's a bod. I don't think
he's a bod. No, becausehe makes a mistake. But that can't
be his real name. Bods aren'tprogrammed to make too many mistakes at all.
Can that be a real Stevens,a real name, Doug Stevens.
Yeah, you know what, Igot to be on. I got to
be honest. I called yesterday.I was on my way home and there
was a terrible act accident on theone ten and I knew that the Dodgers

(32:02):
were in a break Dodger off myDodger talk. So I called Doug Stevens
to see if what I you know, if there was can you look you're
at You're a traffic guy, butyou have the ancient tools to log on
and Doug had nothing. Doug hadless than nothing. Doug, for all

(32:23):
intents and purposes, was a haircutall right. He was a voice,
you know what. He was nota master of the freeways that worked their
like horse their way through the GreaterLa area, like Angel Hernandez is right.
I mean, when when you reallyI just saw I just saw a
streaking, a streaking, sprinting persondown the hall. When you boil it

(32:46):
down, I don't like that.Talk about Doug Stevens. Well, let's
think about it. How how widedid Doug spread those wings? How what
is the trip from Burbank to Westwood? Doug, you know what I'm saying?
And how could he possibly master hisdomain? Any thoughts? Doug?
Are you talking to me? Wasit Doug Stevens? I called? I

(33:09):
called Doug Stevens last night on myway home and he wasn't that helpful?
Had nothing? Didn't you're talking about? I went on the website that they
use. I looked at the camerason the one ten freeway, checked them
out both directions, and I toldyou where the traffic ended. Now you
were right too. Oh that wasa major accident. And Doug Stevens had

(33:36):
no major accident. There was nothingthere. There was just heavy traffic from
the one O one boat directions northand south Pound, the one tend all
the way down to Rosecrans and thenpast to the one oh five. Oh
listen, Doug spinning yards back thetop level speeds you'd make your way south
Pound. That one tend all theway into the South Bay, said Pedro.
That does that sound like a guywho's just a haircut mat Oh my
god, hold on, Brian's Vansis calling in, Hey, Tack the

(34:00):
call Brian Vance not his real name, that's not his real name. But
Doug Stevens real person, that's allfor sure. I'm looking at him right,
I'm looking at him. Hey,Petros, I'm blocked by Elaine Boosler
on Twitter, and I'm proud ofit. He can block by Boozler probably
said something horrible. Vassa just saidJim got every time Gott would come on

(34:24):
to close back in the day whendad would turn off the TV. He
hated Jim Gott. That's great.It doesn't mean he did wear the number.
You remember, Jim Gott used todo something down on the field,
like in the fifth inning with afan. What the girl with a big
name? I do you remember thattoo, Tim? I don't remember what
it was called. Though. Hewas also part of the baseball bunch,
wasn't he remember he did that thingMatt with the fans. Yeah, I

(34:46):
remember that, but I don't rememberwhat it was. But it was something.
Tell Matt to forget about Fat Burger. Let's bring back Coltburger. We
could have a horse on top ofthe building, standing on two legs and
it's on fire. I'm willing tosell the rights to Coldberger if somebody's interested,

(35:12):
of course, with a false flameunder it, like the JFK Eternal
flame, exactly like a flame.My son and I are in a picture
on the wall and the Fat Burgerin Woodland Hills for eating the Triple King
with fries. Congratulations, serves.This is an interesting question, Matt,
and it's not funny. I'm thirtynine and I went blind in two thousand

(35:36):
and nine. I have never seensociety take a downturn like this. You're
a little older than I am.Has there ever been a period where crime
was so rampant and the abundance ofcrazy people was so prevalent in society?
Uh? Well, the early eightieswere something. Yeah, yeah, you

(35:57):
got a early eighties going on.Now you're you're a blind But I would
refer you the nineteen seventies New Yorkmovies like Taxi Driver and stuff like that.
I think that, and I askmyself this question every day because we
wake up to it, right,You wake up and you get on whatever
site. And we don't have thechoice not to. We're we're in the

(36:17):
people, we're in the world.We have to know what's going on.
If we don't, we get calledout. And I just think that the
fact that everybody has something that recordsthings, and everybody can record themselves doing
anything like doing squats at the gym, and it just becomes all about your

(36:37):
ass, Like, I think that'swhat makes you feel like you're being completely
and totally besieged by psychos. Ijust think it's social media's video. There's
always been there's video for it.There's always been freaks and weirdos. Berserkly
was Berserkly before everybody had a smartphone, and Hollyweird with Hollyweird before TikTok.

(37:01):
But I think that it's the prevalenceof it's being recorded. Watch me do
this and that everybody you know,it goes viral, and you know,
for every cool thing that goes viral, there's nine that suck. Right,
there was there was one thing thatwent viral the other day that was great.
It was a guy who kept hisboat by his house and the neighbors

(37:24):
complained that they stopped. They wantedto put up a fence so they didn't
have to look at his boat anymore. So he put up a fence and
had a professional artist paint the fenceto look exactly like the boat. Like
the boat. That's a great,great expression of protest, and that went

(37:45):
viral. But the nine other thingsare are you capping? No cat?
No cat? Speaking of that,Matt, did you hear that the Lakers
do want want to draft Bronnie accordingto Shams? Wow, is that what
your story's about? Nope, butthat's a great story. You were not

(38:12):
gonna talk about Bronnie. I wasnot. I figured we'd give it a
break. But there's a new story, Matt. I understand. Well,
I know somebody that didn't get upand check what was trending. Oh jeez,
the sneeze. We'll be right backwith the flip top story of the
day. Maybe I'm gonna have totalk about Bronnie. Maybe, I mean,
do I have to do it?I think you do. The people
demand it. I'm not gonna doit.
