of a loa at the thing andit looks like an Ai Tua or like

crazy. It's like they've replaced Tuah. Anyway, there are also a lot
of calls Matt for you to doand people get to hear you chew and

(02:30):
crack into this for you to doan ig live with your Taco Bell cheese
it. I mean this is totallyorganic. No pun intended to product,
is it, uh, but totallyorganic to the show. Don McClain is
a huge advocate for the cheese itand then the extra toast he cheese It.

(02:54):
I mean a decade ago, DonMcLain was trumpeting the X Toasty cheese
in and I think in a coupletimes in his his palette has gone away
from his favorite snack but always returnedlike the prodigal Sun to the Extra Toasty
cheese It. And somebody sent methis thing about the Taco Bell and I

(03:15):
thought Matt would have it for thenumber of the day for sure. Yeah,
I miss because because Matt likes todo the food stuff and the Petrosen
Money Taste test, which we haveabout maybe a five sets percent conversion rate
on the Petrosen Money Taste Test,Like actually that's a fair number actually doing
it. It's been a long time. It's not that it hasn't been done.

(03:38):
But usually we just say we're goingto do it and no one ever
follows through. You know, Godforbid we have like an intern or like
another thirty producers like all the KFIshows have, or Dave Weis, or
somebody goes and gets us something,so we can, you know, God
forbid be able to go live onthe air, do an Instagram live while

(03:59):
we're on the air, exactly right. You know who wants to work that
hard? You know, it's likeCharles Barkley's you didn't want to go to
ESPN because he doesn't want to workthat hard. He doesn't want to do
ESPN News at five in the morningwhen he's got a game at five o'clock
that night. But anyway, Mattwas able to figure out the app and
order it before the January sixth launchdate for this cheese It June sixth,

(04:24):
excuse me, cheese It tostada andthe rap? Are you getting the tostada
or the rap? Matt? Theraps gross me out. The raps are
like that we wait, I knoweverything should grossy out of Taco Bell,
right, but they the raps,it's just like so much freaking tortilla.
Oh just too much, too manymuch, I will say. I will

(04:45):
confess. Your wife likes taco bellright, she used to. I mean
when we were when we lived inSan Pedro. It's hard to avoid.
There's two taco bells right there onGaffy, I mean my name run across
the lanes. Yeah, they dohave a Catalina chicken bowy that I have
grown to like when I'm in atight spot and need some food, nice
little protein black beans, rice andchicken. Pretty darn good, I must

(05:08):
say. Okay, well we havea story about Catalina Island a little bit
later. Is that right? Ihave an idea for that meat in the
chicken bow Uh? But so,Matt, have you done it? Have
you? It's already ordered, I'vegot it, just says, uh,
what do you? What do yousay? What do you what do you
save for doing some bovine chewing onInstagram and telling everybody what you think about

(05:32):
it? What do you say tothat? Matt? I don't know.
I think it'll depend on like youjust want to enjoy it privately? For
sure? Well? What if?But you know what, Kates, it's
fair. I mean I feel likeright when I get off the air,
I get the food. I don'tknow right when we get right when we
get off the air, like rightwhen we get off the air. Well,
here it says my order has beenreceived. It's got the little thing

(05:54):
there. It looks as though it'slike, you know, seven eighths away
from being completed right now. Iunderstand your caution, Matt. And and
here's what I think. I think. I mean, if you'd allow me
to read your mind, here's whatI'd believe you're cautious about. You earlier
eluded to trying to get me totry the McRib, which I used to
love, because I never tried it, and you ruined. It's like,

(06:17):
you know, talking leads to touching, and touching leads to sex, and
then there is no mystery left.And the mystery, the mystery of the
McRib. It was a shatter dreamfor me, and I let my feelings
be known about how it tasted tome on air, and I believe we
were chastised. We were because McDonald'sbig advertiser, and you were just reacting

(06:43):
in the moment. And if youget this thing and you react in the
moment on it, you spit cheeseit all over the camera on Instagram Live.
Is that what you're cautious about.I've done, honestly what it is,
and you know this. I'm arelike, I don't chew well,
and so I don't want to doit. You don't want to do it.
I don't even like watching the LaFoody guy chew right like I just

(07:06):
my whole thing. I'd like todo it, but maybe go under the
table and chew and then go backright like turn them like, mute it
while I'm chewing. I'm not agood eater. It's kind of gross.
Oh come on, Matt, doit for the people. Well, maybe
we'll do it together. If youlike it, then you can be like

(07:27):
the advocate and we'll do it.Maybe we can send somebody to Taco Bell
from Rolling Hills Country Club. Rightthere, you go, there's one right
there. That's a good call.Let's do it Monday. No, No,
you're gonna go get it, Matt. You've ordered it. I already
get it. I'm just saying interms of me, I like, if
I go down, I want apartner to go down. That's eating with
me, and just watching people eatskind of gross. Even the La Foody
Guy even and I love the Lafood, love the La. Man.

(07:48):
He just he jams that burrito inhis face, like why do I have
to see it? And there's likesour cream and guawk up up up to
his eyeball. That's something on theReal Housewives, you know, because Bravo
was like kind of a food thingbefore. You know, they do like
a cultural food kind of vibe ona lot of their ideas. And they're
always showing the Housewives with their fatbotox faces eating and it's like, you're

(08:09):
gross, You're a gross chick.Yeah, it's like, you know,
and that's always ruled that. Theysay Rule number one of Food TV is
take small bites, and that's justnot how I eat. Well, I'm
in great shape for that exactly.At least you don't have a nickname to
how you eat a burrito. Matt. It's time of the number of the
day, number of the name.It's you, Matt. Oh sorry,

(08:35):
that's right. Number the day isone. This is a follow up beautiful
message on Twitter today a story thatwe shared. This is from the food
Space, but it's from the beveragespace iconic outlet. So you had a
food thing I did? Oh Isaw this story too. I flirted with
this as well. Look at that, but I didn't touch it because I

(08:56):
knew that you'd want it. Matt, Well, we do it together because
it's the Twitter message from Hamdi Ulukaya, who is the billionaire owner, founder,
creator of Chobani Yogurt, and hehas saved an iconic brand with his
billions of dollars. Another dimension.Every time I come to San Francisco,

(09:18):
I find another dimension of the citythat always fell in love. But it
wasn't until I come across to thisarticle that said the oldest craft beer in
America is closing stores. An othercuriosity came to visit and realized that might

(09:39):
be old, it might be givenup on, but it is the grandual.
I'm here at Ankerbury Company in SanFrancisco, This amazing place, this
amazing brand has been around since eighteenninety six. I just had lunch with
four people who used to work hereuntil it was closed. We talked about

(10:00):
path, We talked about all theseyears that they're here, how people would
come and visit this place, thetechnology, the beer, the uniqueness of
steam beer that only Anchor Beer woulddo it. It was embedded in San
Francisco's fabric. When I told themthat I'd like to be part of bringing
this company, Anchor Beer, thisdream back to life, they couldn't be

(10:26):
more excited. Time couldn't be morehon right. It's the essence of San
Francisco, It's the essence of thiscountry that we can always bring it back
stronger, better than ever before.I think the best time of San Francisco
is yet to come. I can'twait to get back to work on my
part with Anchor Bury. That's tothis, Oh, that's about that.

(10:50):
I'll tell you something else that's embeddedin the fabric. Maybe this is this
first step. Our guy Homdi isgoing to bring back Anchor Brewing Beer.
He said. The goal is tomake sure the Christmas Ale is available nationwide
by Christmas. He wants to getSteam back in a month. No one
else drinks. I mean, it'sonly Anchor Steam that people drink in the
Christmas one. Right? Is thereanother beer they make that they have a

(11:13):
tropical hazy ip a West Coast ipa Liberty Al California lagger. They say
he may not bring any of thoseback, that he may just bring back
Steam and Christmas, but that hewants to rehire all the brewers. He
wants to hire all the longtime employeesand basically just kind of bring it back.
All right, man, I'm workingat Whiteclawn now and you'll never give
me back. Well, you're gonnahave to match my truly. So I
work at Truly. I work ata June Shine afew buddy, A few

(13:30):
we still of course have that yetFontaine Blue to give away Matt. We're
still really stringing the people out.I mean it's already halfway through four o'clock,
almost and my man has had towalk across three lanes and we have
not given away the Fonteine Blue tentrips in ten days yet. And some
would say, Matt, that you'rebeing a little bit you know, you're

(13:52):
you're holding on too long. Ifthis was a game of hot potato,
you would have a red right handlike the Nick Cave song, because I
mean, you really really are holdingyou're holding those tickets. We're holding it's
the last one. Maybe it'll begiven away in the next segment. Maybe
it'll be given away in an hour. Don't know, but maybe we're just
gonna hold out today. Maybe that'sthe kind of day it is. It's

(14:15):
time for some local knowledge. That'sthe kind of day it is around here.
Is know in common knowledge is localknowledge. He's very knowledgeable on the
things that you come up with asfar as for with your knowledge. All
right, Matt, I thought thisstory was interesting and a little bit upsetting.
And I don't know what side ofit you're going to be on.

(14:39):
But we do have a Catalina IslandNews. As you know, we have
long been your Catalina Island show ofrecord. And don't worry, this is
not a petrusen money coast to coastabout the Tongueva Pa giants and the white
giants of the northern end of theisland, and the fact that they walked

(15:01):
the earth and giant femur bones weredug up in desecrated graves and now just
covered up, and no one actslike there were giants roaming around that the
tongue of people still speak of we'renot talking about that. We're talking about
something that's much more tangible to you, Matt, something real, something you
can ple see and feel. Ofcourse, Catalina Little History, just for

(15:22):
sake of the story, bought fromthe Banning family and a few different people
owned it and tried to develop Avalon. But it was bought from the Banning
family in nineteen nineteen by the Wrigleyfamily of the Cubs and the Chewing Gum,
and they are the ones that paidfor most of the infrastructure of Avalon.

(15:43):
And that was a long time ago. But in nineteen seventy two,
that is when they donated most ofthe island to the Catalina Island Conservancy,
a nonprofit land trust that controls eightyeight percent of the island. And that
is why no one has a housethat you know, unless you know somebody

(16:07):
at Avalon on Catalina Island. There'sno development on Catalina Island. It is
supposed to be kept because of theConservancy and the Wrigley's given it to the
people. It is supposed to bekept natural. And the Catalina Conservancy Office,
I don't know if you've seen it, it's there in Avalon. It's
like a three story building and theycontrol basically the whole island and they deal

(16:30):
with all kinds of problems. Matt, Yeah, a lot of problems.
They're got island problems, water rationing, hard to get a you know,
it is easier to find a rabbiin Houston than it is to get an
a car on the Catalina Island.Most people just drive golf carts around,
but they're gas powered golf carts,so the exhaust makes it so everybody's feet

(16:52):
are black if you walk around.So anyway, this is not the problem
they currently have. This is avery interesting problem currently. Cataline the island
has a problem with deer. Thereare what they're called, they're just deer,
but they're called mule deer, whichis a kind of deer. And
I guess there's way too many ofthem, and what are they doing?
They're eating indigenous plants and they're makingthe ecological balance all messed up. So

(17:21):
what does the conservancy do? Matt? They have to put their heads together.
A bunch of crunchy groovers, abunch of hippies listening to scarlet pogonias
sitting there with their friendship bracelets,trying to figure out a plan of what
to do with the deer. Andthis was the plan they came up with,
to get in a helicopter and shoothim. To get in a helicopter,

(17:41):
hover around higher sharpshooters and literally pickoff the deer. I'm not kidding.
Is there like one of them?No, there's lots. They're they're
an invasive species and like Kate's withhis seeds, they owe for grades and
they're causing an ecological What about theCatalina fox, which is indigenous to Catalina.

(18:07):
If it has no greens to eatbecause of the overgrazing deer, it's
gonna be extinct. They over graded. How did we get the mule deer
to Catalina? Do we know?Well? How did the raccoons get to
Catalina? And the snakes they jumpedon somebody's crisscraft. Right now, this
is the deer. The deer jumpedthe board. This is a c ray
the solution to hell. Uh,Well, a lot of people tried to

(18:30):
make it like that. The samereason the bison are there. You know,
somebody brought them over there and thoughtit would be cool. Uh.
They're invasive, They're not supposed tobe there. Uh. The solution to
helicopter around and shoot them like theFBI guys in die Hard was adopted,
and damn it, Matt, theywere gonna do it. And sadly,

(18:52):
Matt, that plan was shot downyesterday by local politician, Representative Jennis Horn.
That's a good pun, right there. Shoot it down. Some sharpshooter
and chopper pilot will not be thinningthe deer herd that way. And if

(19:14):
I'm in the Conservancy and I cameup with the idea, I'd be pretty
pissed off. You know, we'resitting here trying to make this as humane
as possible. So here's what they'regonna do instead. And you tell me
if this is a better solution,right, how about Han having control over
Catalina? Well, Matt, there'snot much there. You know she's Harbor
Watts. You know she's got alot of Manhattan beach, you know,

(19:37):
you know. I'd like to thinkthe guy you know that's that's the manager
at Antonio's, can double as theirrap instead. They can't know. No,
they throw you a bone and giveyou catalina. If you work in
San Pedro, they always throw youa bone and give you catalina. That's
the way it works. But here'show that they are going to thin the
herd uh And to me, theseare not as good of idea. They're

(20:00):
gonna prolong hunting season, which seemssimilar. I'd rather have the guys from
Diehard sharpshooters from Saigon shooting the deerthan some guy in an orange vest running
around by shark harbor shooting deer.Seems a lot more efficient. Right,
They might try to relocate deer,have fun hauling them back on the chrisscraft

(20:23):
and taking them back across the channeland leaving them at the Phineas Banning Museum
in Wilmington, where you see they'recoming to PV. That's where you release
them. Where you're gonna go?Where are you gonna go? Yes,
Kates, would they put them onthe Catalan Express because that's expensive. It's
fifty eight dollars I think round trip. Now, well, how would you
like to have to be on theExpress after they move the deer? You

(20:44):
know what I'm saying, like,oh, the upgrade feet and I sit
inside and get my one free drink. Yeah, and then somebody bars on
you. That's a problem. Sorelocation maybe they use the chopper for that,
I don't know, or sterilization,which consists of going around and clipping

(21:04):
the nuts off a deer like aninja. So they like this current generation
of deer just dies out. Well, no, they just want to thin
They don't want to kill them all. They want to thin it out,
so they don't They're they're saying,we don't want to kill them all,
but we want to kill a lotof them. Let God sort them out.

(21:26):
Well, they were going to getup in the helicopter just spreading rast.
I mean, imagine living in Avalonand then just hearing the chopper blades
and the sounds of machine guns likeit's freaking non Circus seventy one. I
mean, I was excited about thisanyway. So again yesterday they made a

(21:52):
decision that there will be no Sygonreenactment, black Smoke and the chopper blades,
and you know, I mean thinkingabout the society we live in today,
the state we live in, andall these different things. I am
a little bit surprised that the ideagot that for well, I heard it
was going to go until Jane Fondassat on the back of one of them

(22:12):
deer. Looks like, you're notshooting these deer. I don't care how
invasive a species they are. Yes, Kates, By the way, I
was incorrect in the price on theCatalan Express. I want to apologize for
that. That's a lot more thanthat. It's ninety two dollars round trip,
because that's as crap. You knowhow much fuel is for those damn

(22:33):
things. Now, come on,Kate's gas is not cheap. Nothing's cruising,
But you could fly to Oakland forcheaper than that. We who wants
to go to Oakland, eat,drink and be merry for tomorrow we may
have to go to Oakland. AndMatt, you got super excited about Italy
today, you may get excited aboutanother international country today. What do we

(22:57):
got but little Italy and San Pedro'shaving a five k over the weekend.
San Pedro has a gigantic Italian communityand they're very proud Italos. You run,
no, But when they won theWorld Cup, you know they a
few years back. We were workingtogether, I think, but it was

(23:18):
a long time ago. There wasa big party down there, and even
David Vasse went down there and gothis Italian sausage marinated. But I'm just
saying it because you were very baggio, you were saying yesterday about concierglease and
stuff. So I thought maybe youcould go down there tomorrow and you know,
chopping up an Italian with your friends. What a bad idea? Get

(23:40):
a little run in, get myItalian sausage marinated. Yeah, it's a
five k. It's Sunday morning indowntown Sampedro, not tomorrow. If you
go down there tomorrow, you justget shanked at the spot. What caate
any chance? Esteban Prado from theOrange County Marathon controversy, great call,
runs in this five k this weekend. Give him some wine eagles. He

(24:06):
could really stride out and his dadcould have like a bladder of wine Italian
style and like a leather blatter onethat other dude from your backyard. Yeah,
the Chinese gu Yeah, Michael Kimor something. And then he was
a PEV guy. He's gonna bein it. No, he's a Pedro.
He's straight up Petro, straight upPedro. Yeah. So so there's

(24:27):
some local knowledge, Matt. Shootingof the deer and the little Italy five
k steps off Sunday morning in downtownSan Pedro, beautiful. Go down there
and ask him about who console.Oh, I'm on the site now,
PM, all up, look atthis. They got a Ferrari is the
pace car to get you started?Uh, an iconic tour of San Pedro's.

(24:48):
You run through the beautiful streets ofour Los Angeles harbor. It is
something to see the majesty, themajesty of the shipping industry, and every
bar you walk by, I cantell you, or jog I could tell
you what year somebody was killed.Right. Well, we'll be back,
Matt. David Vassay is going tojoin us next with the latest from Dodger

(25:10):
Stadium. On a brief respite hereon the West Coast, they traveled back
east again on Monday. That trusome money AM five to seventy LA Sports
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app DodgersRockies coming up just after seven pm,
and again a reminder you can getout to the Dodgers' Clubhouse store in Montabello
tomorrow. Opportunity for you to meetAustin Barnes and Miguel Vargas with any purchase

(25:33):
of fifty dollars and above. Joiningus right now live from Dodgers Stadium is
the Dodgers take on the Rockies tonight, coming off what was known as one
of the most harrowing journeys in Dodgerhistory. A delay on the tarmac in
New York City or in Newark,and David Vassay had to fight through it.

(25:56):
It was such a rough night,but no complaining from billionaire show Hal
Tani, no bitch and moaning andpitching a fit from Mookie bats Kid.
The Dodgers got over it. TheHome of the Dodgers with an inside look
at the Dodgers. This is theVassi Report with David Vasse. Davids was

(26:19):
there, He faced it all andhe lived to tell the tale. And
now he's here with us, ourDodger reporter on AMPI seventy LA Sports.
You know him, you love him. Spectrum Sports in at LA and of
course MLB Network at the real underscoredvs on the so Cal Toyota Dealers celebrity
hotline. What's cracking, Dave?How are you hey? The good news

(26:41):
is the Dodgers will do it againhead back to the East Coast on Monday,
as they will go back on theroad to face the Pirates and also
the Big Series, maybe the jewelseries of the season in Major League Baseball,
the Dodgers and Yankees at Yankee Stadium. But in between then they got
the Rockies for three games, oneof the shortest homestands that I can remember

(27:04):
in a long time. Dave.It is kind of interesting because you know,
those of us in the media,we like to complain about the schedule.
We do a tremendous amount of talkabout the schedule all the time.
Do the players, I mean,I know they're aware of it, but
do they complain about this kind ofstuff? Do they bitch and moan and
pitch a fit? Petros. It'snot just the Dodgers that are being affected

(27:26):
by a very strange scheduling. It'severy team in Major League Baseball. The
Angels have only played within their division, just a handful of times, and
the Reds have played the Dodgers morethan any other team in the n now
Central, They've only played three gameswithin their divisions. So this schedule of
trying to play everybody has got everybodyoff their equilibrium. And nobody on the

(27:52):
Dodgers can understand why they were juston the East Coast and now have to
go back after just three games inLos Angeles, not only to Pittsburgh,
but to go back to New York. As you guys know in the NBA,
when teams come to play the Lakers, they played the Clippers as well.
When teams come to Los Angeles,they should go straight to Anaheim or

(28:14):
straight to San Diego. It's somethingnobody can understand, not only with the
Dodgers, but all across Major LeagueBaseball. Yeah, would have made a
hell of a lot more sense todo Yankees and Mets in the same trip,
no doubt about it. It isgoing to be a hell of a
series, Dave. And it's interestingbecause you've got these three games against Colorado.
It feels like the bottom of theorder found something against the Mets.

(28:36):
How important do you think that isfor them to keep that going before they
get into kind of that gnarly partof their schedule with the Yankees and the
defending champ Rangers and the Royals inthat stretch there, I feel like the
key to that is Jason Haywards.He started to look more like himself from
last year in New York and look, he's thirty three, there's a lot

(28:59):
of miles on him. But hedidn't play basically for the first close to
two months of the season coming backfrom Korea. So I feel like he
is the veteran, the guy thatyou have to count on in the bottom
of the order. The other guy'sAndy Paz, who's a rookie you can't
really count on because there's going tobe growing pains. So for me,

(29:22):
when you talk about the seven,eight, nine hitters, Jason Hayward is
the biggest key to all of that. The one and only David Vasse here
are to the people at Dodger Stadium, traveling like Lewis and Clark back back
forth and forth across the country.Dave, is there any ill will from
the Yankees for a blowing Judges footup with the bullpen out here at Dodger

(29:45):
Stadium? Wow? Yeah, you'rereally picking the scab right there. Petros.
I was going to check in withJudge and Aaron Boone to make sure
the outfield gates out there at YankeeStadium are secured. But yeah, that
derailed bad season for the Yankees wherethey missed the postseason. And I'm sure
they remember that and still resent it. But yeah, wow, you're really

(30:08):
bringing it back from last year.Well, I mean, I'm sorry,
I'm trying to story about the Rockies, but that was a big story,
huge story. Aaron Judge went yahyah against Patrick Sandoval last night at the
Big A as they demolished Mark Goupeza'sAngels eight to three. So the Yankees

(30:29):
have had a big bounce back seasonand I can't wait to see, uh
Aaron Judge and see this new lookYankees team. What you know, because
of the logistics talk, which youknow we love more than anything, we
forgot to address one of the moreinteresting and maybe I just missed it storylines
out of New York. Why whywas Paxton pulled? I see he's still
listed as the starter on Wednesday againstPittsburgh. Was he fine after those three

(30:52):
innings? What was that all about? He was When we asked him about
it, he said that he hada pitch limit of fifty to sixty pitches.
They had told him after his startin Cincinnati that he would be going
on not short rest. By theway, four days rest is still considered
regular rest, something he has notdone all season long. So the Dodgers,

(31:15):
trying to manage the veterans Hittings,told him that, hey, you're
going to be limited in this start. So that was scripted as they say,
who plays for the Rockies? Isit that guy from the Cubs that
everybody hates or the guy with thebeard or the guy from the Cubs he
hates it? There, Yeah,on record as saying he regrets signing that

(31:40):
contract because he was promised a betterteam around him. One of my favorite
players who's buried in Denver is moderndays, Ryan McMahon. He's a really
good player, and he would bea huge addition on a playoff caliber team.
But when you're playing for the Rockies, those talents really don't come out

(32:00):
and shine as much as they wouldsay if you were on the Dodgers.
All right, Dave, let's wrapit up with the with the game tonight
and Walker Buehler and what you makeof the start Saturday last week against the
Reds. I would assume, youknow, maybe red flag for some others,
but how recently he came back,You know, you're gonna have a
couple of hiccups here and there.What do you want to see from him?

(32:21):
How do you think he's feeling inhis return. No, I feel
like he built upon the start thathe had against the Reds at Dodgers Stadium,
where he wasn't just trying to relyon the fastball. He continued to
pitch from a different part of therubber that Austin Barnes has been encouraging him
to for the last two years.So I feel like again the Dodgers have

(32:44):
mapped out a great schedule for WalkerBueler to make his return. Two games
against the red and now another softlineup in the Rockies at Dodgers Stadium.
You know, this went months intoplanning. Here, they back they kind
of as we say in radio right, they back timed when he was going

(33:04):
to return and mapped out these starts. So that's the reason why he did
not start in spring training. That'sthe reason why they gave him the full
complement of time as far as returningthis season and plotted when he would come
back and the teams he would face, So this is another one of those
plotted teams to you know, Idon't want to say soft landing for him,

(33:28):
but he hasn't pitched in two years, so there are more bigger lineups
that he would face. And bythe way, he actually told me in
Cincinnati he has never been to NewYankee Stadium and has never pitched at New
Yankee Stadium. And he is onschedule on turn to face that vaunted Yankees
lineup. So this might be thefinal tune up before he really gets into

(33:52):
his hips and crocodiles out there atYankee Stadium. Very exciting. The one
and only David Vassay, there's onlyone, and he is the best Dave.
We appreciate it. You should goup to that modern day guy and
tell him, you know, you'dbe a lot better featured, say if
you were on the Dodgers. Itold him that two years ago, but
he still signed a dang extension withthe Rockies. And other big news guys,

(34:15):
the Dodgers are getting their super relieverback, Evan Phillips, activated for
today's game. Oh Kate, youbetter get that baseball card. You better
get that card Kates, all right, we'll be back. Thank you,
Dave. Enjoy the game, DavidVasse along with Tim Kates on the Morongo
Casino, Dodgers on Deck and DodgerTalk later, and we'll be back with

(34:37):
a whole other hour, including atop story and the Fontaine Blue giveaway of
