the final hour fun fact before weget to quick hits here. It's put
in effect. It's the yeah,we're three fun Well, you know how
much we love Cincinnati here pe sowith the Reds in town let's want to
celebrate the city. What a raucous, wonderful town. Cincinnati a rich German,
(02:42):
Polish and Hungarian heritage population, manyimmigrating in the eighteen hundreds and settling
in Cincinnati. Which is why andthat's why we do this fun fact in
May it is home to the biggestOctober celebration in the United States. Well
since Alpine Village close to all that'swhat I mean. Alpine Village no longer
(03:07):
around, which is which is areal shame. Really, if you have
to use emergency toilet, it's almosta crime, is what it really is.
Well, reopen it. Your familyhas experience in restaurant touring. It's
been it's it's now a shipping areaof runoff. It's like a runoff media
area for shipping. You got abuilting audience, a built in customer base.
(03:29):
The building is gone. Pop ups. It's all about pop up.
I missed the Alpine Village, that'sall I want to say. I didn't
know they had such a big OctoberFest. I did not either. Well,
we are your Octoberfest leader hosting fan. You didn't even play your polka
like a good point. Sorry,are we doing what we did you know
Cincinnati, with its rich German,Polish and Hungarian heritage, many immigrating to
(03:54):
the eighteen hundreds, is home tothe biggest October Fest in the United States.
Well that's great information, thanks alot, But you make Corona notes
that. Ock gosh, I'm gonnasend you to some October poel leaders in
sausage for your faith. Well yougotta ask Corona about it. All right,
it's time for quick hits, someto ms, quick hits. I'll
make it quick, y'all. Ohyeah, Dodgers are twenty nine and sixteen,
(04:23):
back home after a five hundred roadtrip. I thought they were better
than that. Come on, guys, they start a seven game home stand
tonight against the Cincinnati Reds. Idon't know if you knew this, but
fire up the band and slap onthose leader hoses. Because it's due to
the Hungarian, Bulgarian, German andBasque population that came to Cincinnati in the
(04:47):
eighteen hundreds, they have one ofthe biggest October Fest, if not the
biggest, in all of North America. True Tyler Glass now is on the
mound first pitch of seven to ten. Everybody knows he's Polish, the gates
in the park are opening up.Hopefully you were one of the first forty
thousand fans, one of the chosento get that show. Hail Tony Bobblehead.
(05:10):
And if you're not well, youcould always chalk it up the education,
that's right. But if you cannot, don't throw a fit. No,
exactly, all right, those peopleare doing their best out there.
No take your lumps. Like RonWashington, he says, the Angels are
getting a lot of schooling. Youknow, Matt, a lot of people
don't go to summer school. School'sout for summer for a lot of people.
(05:31):
But it doesn't look like it's goingto be out in Anaheim, doesn't.
Well, they didn't get any educationlast night they beat the Cardinals.
They managed to snap that skid.And now they're a bunch of idiots down
there, because what the hell doyou know after winning a game. When
we lose a ball game, wegot education, But when you win,
(05:53):
you learn nothing nothing. Hey,stupid. I hope the w makes you
feel better. He's a good kicker, but he's an idiot. Exactly Day
thirteen and the Lakers are still withouta head coach. But we do have
a report Yahoo NBA draft analyst Kristenwith a Y. Peak with two E's
(06:15):
reports the Utah Jazz could be interestedin taking Bronnie James with the thirty second
pick up the draft, the secondpick of the second round. The Jazz
have expressed interest in bringing Bronny infor an individual workout. Could be interested
with the number thirty two pick,is what Peak wrote. The franchise has
been patiently rebuilding behind the leadership ofDanny Ainge and bringing in Bronni with the
(06:40):
hopes of luring a superstar like Lebroncould be the jumpstart owner Ryan Smith is
looking for to add a spark tothe jet. Take him please, and
Lebron stop. No, don't don'tyou touch me. Don't you touch me?
Take our our disastrous start please.Henny Youngman, a spokesperson for the
(07:05):
w NUBA, said that the leaguesroll out of charter flights for the teams
will be fixed by next week andall the teams will be flying charter.
Then, apparently there were some complaintsbecause this last week not all the w
NUBA teams flew charter and a fewhad to fly commercial. Caitlin Clark and
(07:25):
the Indian A Fever flew charter whileAngel Reese and the Chicago Sky flew commercial.
What what I know? I know, I don't. You're not telling
me. You might as well havethrown her into the Russian huskow like Britney
grind. I know, I know. It's terrible. It's terrible. How
(07:45):
could they? It makes me crazy, Matt, I just I can't live
in a world telling me Angel Reeseain't a superstar and doesn't deserve to be.
I wanted a private chartist, JerryHinestore. If you cheap bastard.
I saw her on the sideline ofthe game that she played in, taking
a picture with Lotto, putting heron air lingus. That ain't cool.
(08:05):
You can't do that, can't dothat. Danger put her on air lingers.
You don't come to Las Vegas andtalk to Mo Green like that.
Yeah, we're gonna put them allon charters. What's this looks like?
It says eighteen C? Is thatall it works in a charter? It's
kind of a wilder TSA. It'sthe way it works on the charter.
Hey, giraffe legs, you wantto fold them up? Se These people,
(08:26):
uh social media, A lot ofthem Yeah. From from giraffe legs
to a giraffe neck. Taylor Swift'stour has reportedly affected the scheduling. Well,
this isn't new. Any big bandthat has something booked at a stadium
is going to affect the scheduling ofan NFL game in the upcoming season,
isn't it. Yeah, newsflash,Texans v. Ravens not as exciting as
(08:48):
Taylor Swift in the Houston. Well, I guess that's a bad example.
That's the two good teams now,So, uh, I bad? I
blew that one. Wow. Itgoes to show you how quickly parody is
is. Uh is evidenced here.But you're a you're a rock and roll
type, Matt, you know.I mean they booked the stadium tours before
the NFL schedule comes out, andsometimes they have to move stuff around exactly.
(09:11):
So this is this is not likeTaylor Swift. Is the Taylor Swift
effect? Oh, boner boner bonethat this is not that. No,
Taylor was already booked. The Erastour was the most lucrative concert run in
the history of concerts, in thehistory of the world. It's like Woodstock.
Yeah, so just like Woodstock,so it's almost exactly. You have
(09:33):
an opportunity to book it into yourspot instead of the one across town,
your competition, the baseball stadium orsomething. You're gonna do it, and
the niffle can go pound sand becauseTaylor Swift. Damn it. Yeah,

game with the bullpen comes through thebats Consolo here to discuss it and back
in the mayhem that is show halTony Biblehead night at Dodger Stadium, Dodgers
(12:56):
versus Reds Tonight David Vasa with aninside look at the Dodgers. This is
the Vassi Report with David Vasse.It is David Vasse from our Dodger coverage.
He is our number one guy,like Jack Palance called Jack Nicholson in
(13:18):
The Batman from the eighties that startedthe resurgence of the character. David vass
is also on Spectrum Sports Net andMLB and now he's on the Southern California
Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. Did youget a bibblehead, Dave? What's popping
out there for Otani night? Iheard it's wild and crazy out there.
Uh yeah, Petros, It's likeyou at hometown buffet on a Friday night,
(13:41):
freatly unnecessary and I don't go there. Well, you do like their
bread? Jwas petros Man, don'task me for a bobblehead. Twenty other
people of my closest friends have alreadysent me at tags, including my brother
in law, who tried to guiltme in by putting my father in law
on the text to ask me fora bobblehead. All I did was sendback
(14:03):
two laughing emojis. Now, don'tunderstand what is your access over this babblehead.
Well, it's the first of two, isn't it. There's going to
be another one later in a year, And what is your access level to
this? Dave? I mean,can you go into the office like a
late musler and demand something like howdoes this work? My understanding is you
(14:24):
know any other bobblehead night? IfI ask for an extra, it's no
issue. But tonight there might bean issue asking for an extra because everybody
wants to ask for an extra.And if you're coming to the game tonight,
you are not guaranteed to get anOtani bobblehead. It's for the first
forty thousand fans, and mixed inamong the forty thousand babbleheads are seventeen hundred
(14:52):
road Otani bobbleheads. And when Irolled up to the stadium today. The
streets were already lined up in thepark of Alesion Park out here, fans
were already positioning their cars to beable to be one of those first forty
thousand fans. There's a line outsideof the Vin Scully Sunset entrance at two
(15:13):
point fifteen this afternoon of about onehundred fans waiting to walk up that hill
to be one of the first fortythousand fans. So, I mean,
I like bobbleheads, but I don'tlike them that much. There's nothing close,
Dave. I mean, we've hadbig Bobblehead nights before, but there
has never been anything like this.And what are they doing with this?
(15:33):
Seventeen hundred People are going to losetheir freaking minds, right, I mean
what it could become that one ofseventeen hundred that gets the road Bobblehead.
You might see that on eBay immediatelythrough or tonight. Yeah, I mean
it's gonna go for big money,that's for sure. Can you imagine a
kid pulling out the road Bobblehead andlike Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, run
(15:54):
home, run home, and don'tstop. Yeah, get an escort to
the parking lot. If you oneof those seventeen Do they have seventeen hundred
escorts to escort people into the parkinglot? Yeah, if you get one.
Do you want to meet Otani likethat one over zealous fan that caught
his first home run ball here atDodgers Stadium? Sugar tea, sugar teas?
(16:14):
Yeah, maybe sugar teeth on someof those. Not sugar tea.
No, those teeth aren't sugar.He did. Oh look at that case,
just pulled it up. They're alreadyup two hundred and seventy five dollars.
Show heyl Tani bobblehead. This isgoing to be the most electric Thursday
Night Dodgers Reds game since the BigRed Machine rolled into town in nineteen seventy
(16:37):
five. Now, I do rememberthat there was some excitement over some Kerse
shop bobbleheads here and there over theyears, but nothing like this. I
suppose no one's ever seen anything likethis. What about this Reds team?
Dave? They have any day LaCruz. What's what else they got going
on? Is? Is Joey Vadostill there? Now? Joey Votto is
no longer here fortunately, Like Imentioned yesterday Damien High School. Nicolodolo was
(17:04):
supposed to start tonight but went onthe injured list with a groin injury.
You know what's going to be therenow, Yeah, exactly like I said,
keep those horses in the stable outthere on Foothill if you're in,
if you're in Laverne or Claremont orPomona, anyway, this is going to
be a bullpen game tonight. HunterGreen from my school Notre Dame, is
(17:26):
in town, so that will beexciting. But Elie de la Cruz is
the show. He definitely was oneman wrecking ball to the Dodgers last year.
Dave credit where credit is due.Mark Pryor went on MLB Network Radio
on Sirius XM and was spitting somesome things about Sho Hail Tani. I
(17:48):
don't know if the news is boomerangback to you yet, but kind of
kept Peppernham about where he is,how he's taken the next step, and
whether or not there's a chance hecould be on the mound by the postseason.
Thoughts and thoughts. What did hesay? He tried to sort of
(18:08):
skirt the question. He just said, hopefully by playoffs, he's up on
the mound and starting to face somehitters, is what he said. So
that would lead me to see that'slike, I don't think he meant in
a game. Do you think hemeant like in a game? I don't
think he meant that, right.I mean, we've heard stranger Frankenstein type
of game plans by the Dodgers.Remember in twenty seventeen, they were trying
(18:30):
to use a sneak attack a walkerBueller coming up from the miners. So
they tried to do that again lastyear with Buehler, did not work out.
So I wouldn't say it's completely outof the question. Where the Dodgers,
if they're evaluating Otani and he's throwingand they get the green light that
he can throw an inning in reliefthat it would not it would not be
(18:52):
plausible. But that's a long waysaway from here now, Matt. But
certainly I would not rule it outat this point. The one and only
David Vasse at the Real Underscore DVon Twitter, joining us now on the
Petro send Money Show on shoe Aotanibobblehead night. Be patient out there,
everybody, and be prepared. MaybeI'll grab sho I wrestle. Tim never
(19:15):
for his Otani in the booth,his otani bobblehead in the booth. I
don't know. I heard he's prettyswollen. He's got to call the game.
Just take it and run, seeyou later. Good luck, Tim.
David seventh inning stretch, I justgrab it. What do they do,
Dave in the in the bottom ofthe lineup. I mean, I
know you can gonna have one throughnine, but the Dodgers bottom of the
(19:36):
lineup is looking pretty shabby these days, real shabby. I mean, if
that's first world problems, I guessthat's that's okay with the Dodgers petros,
considering they aren't getting consistent production outof the three bottom hitters and they're running
away with the division that can berectified between now and then. Gavin Lux
(19:57):
hasn't even had one hundred and fiftyplate appearances and he's coming back from a
right knee surgery. He drove theball a couple of times in San Francisco
that we have not seen him drivebefore this season, so that's encouraging.
So I feel like the Dodgers arekeeping their fingers crossed. At least Gavin
Lux could be that guy. Thatwas a consistent nine hitter for them before
(20:21):
his injury last spring. What happensto this dude Hernandez that we thought was
just going to be a bully gameand he ends up going out there like
a horse and throwing six innings andtaking care of Dave Roberts. So they
just ship him off somewhere now,or what does he do? I'm a
horse. Alicia Hernandez is going tostay with the Dodgers in the bullpen as
(20:42):
a long man for the near future. He's going to probably not be able
to pitch until Saturday at the earliest, because the Dodgers optioned Gus Varland yesterday
and dfad ne Bo Chris Matt sothey kind of need an innings eater bullpen.
So he'll stick around probably until atleast the end of this homestand and
(21:06):
we'll see where it goes from there. But I talked to a Dodger reliever
after the game last night and Iasked him about this bullpen game that we
had heard of. I said,were you aware that Alicia Hernandez was going
to just be a starter, Andhe told me about thirty minutes before the
game, the bullpen was alerted,Hey, we're just letting this guy go.
It's not a bullpen game anymore.Well, there you go. Always
(21:30):
the best information from the one andonly David Vase, back from the road
and unable to help out his inlaws with a show hail, Toddy bablehead
not even going to try, areyou, Dave? I mean, I'll
give it somewhat of an effort.Joseph gets the first one right, and
(21:51):
so it's going to be the familybiblehead. We'll put it on the mantle
in the house. How about Okay, you know what, maybe do never?
Josephs, it's not Adriana's, it'suh the family I say, I
could see them fighting over it inthe head falling off. I was gonna
say, do never, like uh, do it like Indiana Jones. You
know, like what you do isyou take the bobblehead and you put a
(22:12):
copy of COVID curveball so he doesn'tnotice, Oh yeah, the weight,
you know what I mean, Andlike you just do a quick switch and
then you take that and that's theway you get the second one. I
thought you would mean, like youridea, use a whip and try to
like pull it any different ways.Well, good luck, Dave. I
(22:32):
appreciate you guys not overstepping our relationshipand not asking me for one. I
do appreciate that. Well. Iwas going to ask you to remain on
hold here when we go to break, but fine, David, Sam Potsh
was wondering if you might be yeah, speaking of that, these type of
giveaways do bring out the woodworks fromall media types to see if they can
(22:55):
get their hands on the free giveaway. This press box, as our producer
engineer Dwayne McDonald just said to me, will be still like it's Game seven
of the NLCS tonight. Oh tonsof dockers and members only jackets all the
way through. Ben Maller will showup. Oh god, before his eleven
o'clock show. Who's that is that? Zarnie Spaniard? What the hell's he
(23:18):
doing? Hey? Stick and Geniusis here? He wants he wants a
bobble hand? Is that the sportsgod? Holy Yo? Well, there
knocks. We haven't seen him sincenineteen ninety five. He starts at three.
All right, Dave, We'll havea wonderful night and good luck to
you. Thank you, guys.I'll give you the blow by blow tomorrow.
(23:41):
Jeez, well, we're gonna havemore of it with Morongo Casino Dodgers
on deck. Dave will be backat the top of the hour with the
one and only Tim Kaites, andwe will go all the way until the
end of the night for sure.Gosh, I hope it's not a tough
night out there at Dodger Stadium.I hope cooler heads prevail. Well,

(24:26):
Come on, everybody wants one.They're lighting up all all the way down
sunset, Matt all the way tothe tiki t Well, Matt, your
dead guy, birthday of the dayto day. Well, this is uplifting,
Margaret Ray, this is actually avery nice story. Would have been
one hundred and eighteen today from Hamburgin nineteen o six when she was born.
(24:47):
Father was in government, but theywere Jews, and to escape the
Nazis, the family moved to Brazil. Ok She married a salesman who also
came from Hamburg, a guy namedHans Meyer's box and that was his name,
and together they moved back to Europeand ended up in all right enough,
(25:15):
uh. He did animal drawings anddid a children's books in Paris,
commissioned by a French publisher, Cecily. Six and the Nine Monkeys was the
name of the book, and oneof the characters in particular, Curious George,
an imp impish monkey with a witha curious mind for seeing what's under
(25:40):
your parants. Was such a successthat the couple figured, hey, we
should write a story just about themonkey, and you know, kind of
like the guy ViBe's Cartel came outof the group Vibes Cartel or Busta rhymes
came out of leaders of a newschool. Curious George came out of Cecily
and the Nine Monkeys. So WorldWar two hits, Okay, these are
(26:04):
Jews indeed, so they're like,hey, this this is a bad scene.
Here, spot's hot. They builttwo bicycles and fled Paris on their
bci clets. They rolled out withvery very little of their possessions, but
the Curious George manuscript. The Borderof Spain is where they went. The
train to Lisbon, then to Brazil, then to New York City. Curious
(26:27):
George was published by Houghton and Mifflin. It was an instant success. More
of Curious George and the Man witha Yellow Hat was commissioned. The work
between husband and wife Matt was shared, but at first Margaret's name was left
off the cover because not because ofmisogyny, because she's a woman. She
(26:47):
was the It was the the glutof female children's riders. They thought,
hey, let's just throw Hans upthere and we will sell more. How
do they get mattered one way orthe other? Her was restored to everything
very quickly. They moved to HarvardSquare. After Hans died in the seventies,
she became a creative writing professor atBrandeis Let's Go Judges. She also
(27:12):
started the Curious George Foundation. That'smy safe space with all these protests on
campus. She died in nineteen ninetysix. Her papers are oddly at Southern
miss University by breakfasty there over byBrett Farbston. Let's go Eagles, all
right, there you go, Mackcurious George, you're a live guy.
You'll like this p io because youlike the music. Happy seventy third to
(27:34):
the Modern Lovers one of the Oldtime Great groups. Founder Jonathan Richmond,
best of the best, born inBoston. Influences, not really influences,
it was an influence. He becameobsessed. Yeah, one band, one
band, the Velvet Underground. Thereis one band. There is only one
band. He graduates high school andI am it's the only fan of this
(27:56):
band. No one else likes thisband. I will consume them. He
graduates high school in sixty nine,moves to New York City and basically begins
stalking the Velvet Underground. He makesfriends, actually, they oblige him by
making him the opening act at oneof their gigs. He then convinces their
manager, Steve Sessenick, to lethim sleep on his couch. Finally,
(28:17):
Cessna's like to get out, you'rea weirdo. But then he moves into
the Hotel Albert for a little while. Nine months later, he realizes he
will not realize his dream in thebig town New York City of becoming a
musician, so he moves back toBoston recruits his high school pal John Felice
and drummer David Robinson to make theirown version of Velvet Underground. He calls
(28:40):
it the Modern Lovers. Felice wasn'tlong. Some guys join, other guys
quit, But once Jerry Harrison joinedon keys and it's funny, right,
we do David Byrne on Tuesday.Here we're doing Richmond today. Harrison a
big part of both of their successes. Warner Brothers was in immediately paid for
their demos, flew him out toThey played a few gigs, they built
(29:02):
a solid following on both coasts,and Warner signs them in nineteen seventy three.
But Richmond's a real weirdo. Andinstead of going to and as a
leader of the art rock movement,Yeah you'd figure y, this guy's kind
of weird. Instead of going toLA after getting signed, he accepts an
offer to play a residency in Bermuda. Nice Warner Brothers put a pin in
(29:25):
it. I gotta get to Bermudafor a little while. So he does
that. I love him. Theycome back and he tells the band We've
changed, man, we've grown.We got to scrap all these old demos,
change our sound, sell the house, sell the cars, sell the
kids, sell it all. Warner'sgot impatient. They're like, yeah,
we don't want any of this.I'm staying out here with Colonel Kurtz.
(29:47):
The band split up, and whatwas born from that? Harrison joins Talking
Heads. David Robinson co founds theCars. So clearly you got really good
musicians in there. Richmond's just afreak. He moves to Berkeley. He

Polish and Hungarian heritage population, manyimmigrating in the eighteen hundreds and settling
in Cincinnati. Which is why andthat's why we do this fun fact in
May it is home to the biggestOctober celebration in the United States. Well
since Alpine Village close to all that'swhat I mean. Alpine Village no longer

Well, reopen it. Your familyhas experience in restaurant touring. It's

area for shipping. You got abuilting audience, a built in customer base.
(03:29):
The building is gone. Pop ups. It's all about pop up.
I missed the Alpine Village, that'sall I want to say. I didn't
know they had such a big OctoberFest. I did not either. Well,
we are your Octoberfest leader hosting fan. You didn't even play your polka
like a good point. Sorry,are we doing what we did you know
Cincinnati, with its rich German,Polish and Hungarian heritage, many immigrating to
(03:54):
the eighteen hundreds, is home tothe biggest October Fest in the United States.
Well that's great information, thanks alot, But you make Corona notes
that. Ock gosh, I'm gonnasend you to some October poel leaders in

than that. Come on, guys, they start a seven game home stand
tonight against the Cincinnati Reds. Idon't know if you knew this, but
fire up the band and slap onthose leader hoses. Because it's due to
the Hungarian, Bulgarian, German andBasque population that came to Cincinnati in the
(04:47):
eighteen hundreds, they have one ofthe biggest October Fest, if not the
biggest, in all of North America. True Tyler Glass now is on the
mound first pitch of seven to ten. Everybody knows he's Polish, the gates

thousand fans, one of the chosento get that show. Hail Tony Bobblehead.

And if you're not well, youcould always chalk it up the education,
that's right. But if you cannot, don't throw a fit. No,
exactly, all right, those peopleare doing their best out there.
No take your lumps. Like RonWashington, he says, the Angels are
getting a lot of schooling. Youknow, Matt, a lot of people
don't go to summer school. School'sout for summer for a lot of people.
(05:31):
But it doesn't look like it's goingto be out in Anaheim, doesn't.
Well, they didn't get any educationlast night they beat the Cardinals.
They managed to snap that skid.And now they're a bunch of idiots down
there, because what the hell doyou know after winning a game. When
we lose a ball game, wegot education, But when you win,
(05:53):
you learn nothing nothing. Hey,stupid. I hope the w makes you

(07:45):
could they? It makes me crazy, Matt, I just I can't live
in a world telling me Angel Reeseain't a superstar and doesn't deserve to be.
I wanted a private chartist, JerryHinestore. If you cheap bastard.
I saw her on the sideline ofthe game that she played in, taking
a picture with Lotto, putting heron air lingus. That ain't cool.
(08:05):
You can't do that, can't dothat. Danger put her on air lingers.
You don't come to Las Vegas andtalk to Mo Green like that.
Yeah, we're gonna put them allon charters. What's this looks like?

this isn't new. Any big bandthat has something booked at a stadium
is going to affect the scheduling ofan NFL game in the upcoming season,
isn't it. Yeah, newsflash,Texans v. Ravens not as exciting as
(08:48):
Taylor Swift in the Houston. Well, I guess that's a bad example.
That's the two good teams now,So, uh, I bad? I
blew that one. Wow. Itgoes to show you how quickly parody is
is. Uh is evidenced here.But you're a you're a rock and roll
type, Matt, you know.I mean they booked the stadium tours before
the NFL schedule comes out, andsometimes they have to move stuff around exactly.
(09:11):
So this is this is not likeTaylor Swift. Is the Taylor Swift
effect? Oh, boner boner bonethat this is not that. No,
Taylor was already booked. The Erastour was the most lucrative concert run in
the history of concerts, in thehistory of the world. It's like Woodstock.
Yeah, so just like Woodstock,so it's almost exactly. You have
(09:33):
an opportunity to book it into yourspot instead of the one across town,
your competition, the baseball stadium orsomething. You're gonna do it, and
the niffle can go pound sand becauseTaylor Swift. Damn it. Yeah,
the niffle and the w Nuba.That's the w w Nuba. The PAGA.

made this year. Yeah, Iremember he went to the Middle East.

game with the bullpen comes through thebats Consolo here to discuss it and back
in the mayhem that is show halTony Biblehead night at Dodger Stadium, Dodgers
(12:56):
versus Reds Tonight David Vasa with aninside look at the Dodgers. This is
the Vassi Report with David Vasse.It is David Vasse from our Dodger coverage.
He is our number one guy,like Jack Palance called Jack Nicholson in
(13:18):
The Batman from the eighties that startedthe resurgence of the character. David vass
is also on Spectrum Sports Net andMLB and now he's on the Southern California
Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. Did youget a bibblehead, Dave? What's popping
out there for Otani night? Iheard it's wild and crazy out there.
Uh yeah, Petros, It's likeyou at hometown buffet on a Friday night,
(13:41):
freatly unnecessary and I don't go there. Well, you do like their
bread? Jwas petros Man, don'task me for a bobblehead. Twenty other
people of my closest friends have alreadysent me at tags, including my brother
in law, who tried to guiltme in by putting my father in law
on the text to ask me fora bobblehead. All I did was sendback
(14:03):
two laughing emojis. Now, don'tunderstand what is your access over this babblehead.
Well, it's the first of two, isn't it. There's going to
be another one later in a year, And what is your access level to
this? Dave? I mean,can you go into the office like a
late musler and demand something like howdoes this work? My understanding is you
(14:24):
know any other bobblehead night? IfI ask for an extra, it's no
issue. But tonight there might bean issue asking for an extra because everybody
wants to ask for an extra.And if you're coming to the game tonight,
you are not guaranteed to get anOtani bobblehead. It's for the first
forty thousand fans, and mixed inamong the forty thousand babbleheads are seventeen hundred
(14:52):
road Otani bobbleheads. And when Irolled up to the stadium today. The
streets were already lined up in thepark of Alesion Park out here, fans
were already positioning their cars to beable to be one of those first forty
thousand fans. There's a line outsideof the Vin Scully Sunset entrance at two
(15:13):
point fifteen this afternoon of about onehundred fans waiting to walk up that hill
to be one of the first fortythousand fans. So, I mean,
I like bobbleheads, but I don'tlike them that much. There's nothing close,
Dave. I mean, we've hadbig Bobblehead nights before, but there
has never been anything like this.And what are they doing with this?
(15:33):
Seventeen hundred People are going to losetheir freaking minds, right, I mean
what it could become that one ofseventeen hundred that gets the road Bobblehead.
You might see that on eBay immediatelythrough or tonight. Yeah, I mean
it's gonna go for big money,that's for sure. Can you imagine a
kid pulling out the road Bobblehead andlike Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, run
(15:54):
home, run home, and don'tstop. Yeah, get an escort to
the parking lot. If you oneof those seventeen Do they have seventeen hundred
escorts to escort people into the parkinglot? Yeah, if you get one.
Do you want to meet Otani likethat one over zealous fan that caught
his first home run ball here atDodgers Stadium? Sugar tea, sugar teas?
(16:14):
Yeah, maybe sugar teeth on someof those. Not sugar tea.
No, those teeth aren't sugar.He did. Oh look at that case,
just pulled it up. They're alreadyup two hundred and seventy five dollars.
Show heyl Tani bobblehead. This isgoing to be the most electric Thursday
Night Dodgers Reds game since the BigRed Machine rolled into town in nineteen seventy
(16:37):
five. Now, I do rememberthat there was some excitement over some Kerse
shop bobbleheads here and there over theyears, but nothing like this. I
suppose no one's ever seen anything likethis. What about this Reds team?
Dave? They have any day LaCruz. What's what else they got going
on? Is? Is Joey Vadostill there? Now? Joey Votto is
no longer here fortunately, Like Imentioned yesterday Damien High School. Nicolodolo was
(17:04):
supposed to start tonight but went onthe injured list with a groin injury.
You know what's going to be therenow, Yeah, exactly like I said,
keep those horses in the stable outthere on Foothill if you're in,
if you're in Laverne or Claremont orPomona, anyway, this is going to
be a bullpen game tonight. HunterGreen from my school Notre Dame, is
(17:26):
in town, so that will beexciting. But Elie de la Cruz is
the show. He definitely was oneman wrecking ball to the Dodgers last year.
Dave credit where credit is due.Mark Pryor went on MLB Network Radio
on Sirius XM and was spitting somesome things about Sho Hail Tani. I
(17:48):
don't know if the news is boomerangback to you yet, but kind of
kept Peppernham about where he is,how he's taken the next step, and
whether or not there's a chance hecould be on the mound by the postseason.
Thoughts and thoughts. What did hesay? He tried to sort of
(18:08):
skirt the question. He just said, hopefully by playoffs, he's up on
the mound and starting to face somehitters, is what he said. So
that would lead me to see that'slike, I don't think he meant in
a game. Do you think hemeant like in a game? I don't
think he meant that, right.I mean, we've heard stranger Frankenstein type
of game plans by the Dodgers.Remember in twenty seventeen, they were trying
(18:30):
to use a sneak attack a walkerBueller coming up from the miners. So
they tried to do that again lastyear with Buehler, did not work out.
So I wouldn't say it's completely outof the question. Where the Dodgers,
if they're evaluating Otani and he's throwingand they get the green light that
he can throw an inning in reliefthat it would not it would not be
(18:52):
plausible. But that's a long waysaway from here now, Matt. But
certainly I would not rule it outat this point. The one and only
David Vasse at the Real Underscore DVon Twitter, joining us now on the
Petro send Money Show on shoe Aotanibobblehead night. Be patient out there,
everybody, and be prepared. MaybeI'll grab sho I wrestle. Tim never
(19:15):
for his Otani in the booth,his otani bobblehead in the booth. I
don't know. I heard he's prettyswollen. He's got to call the game.
Just take it and run, seeyou later. Good luck, Tim.
David seventh inning stretch, I justgrab it. What do they do,
Dave in the in the bottom ofthe lineup. I mean, I
know you can gonna have one throughnine, but the Dodgers bottom of the
(19:36):
lineup is looking pretty shabby these days, real shabby. I mean, if
that's first world problems, I guessthat's that's okay with the Dodgers petros,
considering they aren't getting consistent production outof the three bottom hitters and they're running
away with the division that can berectified between now and then. Gavin Lux
(19:57):
hasn't even had one hundred and fiftyplate appearances and he's coming back from a
right knee surgery. He drove theball a couple of times in San Francisco
that we have not seen him drivebefore this season, so that's encouraging.
So I feel like the Dodgers arekeeping their fingers crossed. At least Gavin
Lux could be that guy. Thatwas a consistent nine hitter for them before
(20:21):
his injury last spring. What happensto this dude Hernandez that we thought was
just going to be a bully gameand he ends up going out there like
a horse and throwing six innings andtaking care of Dave Roberts. So they
just ship him off somewhere now,or what does he do? I'm a
horse. Alicia Hernandez is going tostay with the Dodgers in the bullpen as
(20:42):
a long man for the near future. He's going to probably not be able
to pitch until Saturday at the earliest, because the Dodgers optioned Gus Varland yesterday
and dfad ne Bo Chris Matt sothey kind of need an innings eater bullpen.
So he'll stick around probably until atleast the end of this homestand and
(21:06):
we'll see where it goes from there. But I talked to a Dodger reliever
after the game last night and Iasked him about this bullpen game that we
had heard of. I said,were you aware that Alicia Hernandez was going
to just be a starter, Andhe told me about thirty minutes before the
game, the bullpen was alerted,Hey, we're just letting this guy go.
It's not a bullpen game anymore.Well, there you go. Always
(21:30):
the best information from the one andonly David Vase, back from the road
and unable to help out his inlaws with a show hail, Toddy bablehead
not even going to try, areyou, Dave? I mean, I'll
give it somewhat of an effort.Joseph gets the first one right, and
(21:51):
so it's going to be the familybiblehead. We'll put it on the mantle
in the house. How about Okay, you know what, maybe do never?
Josephs, it's not Adriana's, it'suh the family I say, I
could see them fighting over it inthe head falling off. I was gonna
say, do never, like uh, do it like Indiana Jones. You
know, like what you do isyou take the bobblehead and you put a
(22:12):
copy of COVID curveball so he doesn'tnotice, Oh yeah, the weight,
you know what I mean, Andlike you just do a quick switch and
then you take that and that's theway you get the second one. I
thought you would mean, like youridea, use a whip and try to
like pull it any different ways.Well, good luck, Dave. I
(22:32):
appreciate you guys not overstepping our relationshipand not asking me for one. I
do appreciate that. Well. Iwas going to ask you to remain on
hold here when we go to break, but fine, David, Sam Potsh
was wondering if you might be yeah, speaking of that, these type of
giveaways do bring out the woodworks fromall media types to see if they can
(22:55):
get their hands on the free giveaway. This press box, as our producer
engineer Dwayne McDonald just said to me, will be still like it's Game seven
of the NLCS tonight. Oh tonsof dockers and members only jackets all the
way through. Ben Maller will showup. Oh god, before his eleven
o'clock show. Who's that is that? Zarnie Spaniard? What the hell's he

doing? Hey? Stick and Geniusis here? He wants he wants a
bobble hand? Is that the sportsgod? Holy Yo? Well, there
knocks. We haven't seen him sincenineteen ninety five. He starts at three.
All right, Dave, We'll havea wonderful night and good luck to
you. Thank you, guys.I'll give you the blow by blow tomorrow.
(23:41):
Jeez, well, we're gonna havemore of it with Morongo Casino Dodgers
on deck. Dave will be backat the top of the hour with the
one and only Tim Kaites, andwe will go all the way until the
end of the night for sure.Gosh, I hope it's not a tough

Come on, everybody wants one.They're lighting up all all the way down
sunset, Matt all the way tothe tiki t Well, Matt, your
dead guy, birthday of the dayto day. Well, this is uplifting,
Margaret Ray, this is actually avery nice story. Would have been
one hundred and eighteen today from Hamburgin nineteen o six when she was born.
(24:47):
Father was in government, but theywere Jews, and to escape the
Nazis, the family moved to Brazil. Ok She married a salesman who also
came from Hamburg, a guy namedHans Meyer's box and that was his name,
and together they moved back to Europeand ended up in all right enough,
(25:15):
uh. He did animal drawings anddid a children's books in Paris,
commissioned by a French publisher, Cecily. Six and the Nine Monkeys was the
name of the book, and oneof the characters in particular, Curious George,
an imp impish monkey with a witha curious mind for seeing what's under
(25:40):
your parants. Was such a successthat the couple figured, hey, we
should write a story just about themonkey, and you know, kind of
like the guy ViBe's Cartel came outof the group Vibes Cartel or Busta rhymes
came out of leaders of a newschool. Curious George came out of Cecily
and the Nine Monkeys. So WorldWar two hits, Okay, these are
(26:04):
Jews indeed, so they're like,hey, this this is a bad scene.
Here, spot's hot. They builttwo bicycles and fled Paris on their
bci clets. They rolled out withvery very little of their possessions, but
the Curious George manuscript. The Borderof Spain is where they went. The
train to Lisbon, then to Brazil, then to New York City. Curious
(26:27):
George was published by Houghton and Mifflin. It was an instant success. More
of Curious George and the Man witha Yellow Hat was commissioned. The work
between husband and wife Matt was shared, but at first Margaret's name was left
off the cover because not because ofmisogyny, because she's a woman. She
(26:47):
was the It was the the glutof female children's riders. They thought,
hey, let's just throw Hans upthere and we will sell more. How
do they get mattered one way orthe other? Her was restored to everything
very quickly. They moved to HarvardSquare. After Hans died in the seventies,
she became a creative writing professor atBrandeis Let's Go Judges. She also
(27:12):
started the Curious George Foundation. That'smy safe space with all these protests on
campus. She died in nineteen ninetysix. Her papers are oddly at Southern
miss University by breakfasty there over byBrett Farbston. Let's go Eagles, all
right, there you go, Mackcurious George, you're a live guy.

it was an influence. He becameobsessed. Yeah, one band, one
band, the Velvet Underground. Thereis one band. There is only one
band. He graduates high school andI am it's the only fan of this
(27:56):
band. No one else likes thisband. I will consume them. He
graduates high school in sixty nine,moves to New York City and basically begins
stalking the Velvet Underground. He makesfriends, actually, they oblige him by
making him the opening act at oneof their gigs. He then convinces their
manager, Steve Sessenick, to lethim sleep on his couch. Finally,
(28:17):
Cessna's like to get out, you'rea weirdo. But then he moves into
the Hotel Albert for a little while. Nine months later, he realizes he
will not realize his dream in thebig town New York City of becoming a
musician, so he moves back toBoston recruits his high school pal John Felice
and drummer David Robinson to make theirown version of Velvet Underground. He calls
(28:40):
it the Modern Lovers. Felice wasn'tlong. Some guys join, other guys
quit, But once Jerry Harrison joinedon keys and it's funny, right,
we do David Byrne on Tuesday.Here we're doing Richmond today. Harrison a
big part of both of their successes. Warner Brothers was in immediately paid for
their demos, flew him out toThey played a few gigs, they built
(29:02):
a solid following on both coasts,and Warner signs them in nineteen seventy three.
But Richmond's a real weirdo. Andinstead of going to and as a
leader of the art rock movement,Yeah you'd figure y, this guy's kind
of weird. Instead of going toLA after getting signed, he accepts an
offer to play a residency in Bermuda. Nice Warner Brothers put a pin in
(29:25):
it. I gotta get to Bermudafor a little while. So he does
that. I love him. Theycome back and he tells the band We've
changed, man, we've grown.We got to scrap all these old demos,
change our sound, sell the house, sell the cars, sell the
kids, sell it all. Warner'sgot impatient. They're like, yeah,
we don't want any of this.I'm staying out here with Colonel Kurtz.
(29:47):
The band split up, and whatwas born from that? Harrison joins Talking
Heads. David Robinson co founds theCars. So clearly you got really good
musicians in there. Richmond's just afreak. He moves to Berkeley. He
records The Modern Lovers, achieves criticalacclaim cool guy status. He then relaunched
it as Jonathan Richmond as and theModern Lovers. In seventy six, Robinson
(30:12):
came back, but then realized,oh yeah, now I remember why I
left Richmond. He leaves again,and that was kind of the drill.
From seventy six to eighty eight,put out eight records, influenced everyone punk,
new wave, indie rock. Thisis one of their calling cards,
Roadrunner another Pablo Picasso Bowie cover thatone. It was only five foot three,
(30:37):

songs of Repo Man. Sex Pistolscovered this one, as did Joan Jet
echoing the Bunnyman susing the Banshees.They all covered The Modern Lovers and loves

if it's sadly because I guess alot of people probably found The Modern Lovers
