Speaker 1 (01:16):
You know, Matt, it is a Modello meet a lot
of Monday around here, and on a Modello meet a
lot of Monday, we remind you that it's not a
real meach if it's not made with Modelo and that's
a reward for those with the fighting spirit. Modello the
mark of a fighter. And one last thing to promote Matt.
We had a great event with Scout Master Smith on

(01:40):
Friday at BREWERYX. A big thank you to the people
at Brewery X in Anaheim for accommodating us on short
notice after Covina dropped the ball and was unable to
accommodate our crowd. We had a good crowd, especially for
the short promotion and the early show the hot weather.

(02:01):
It was a great crowd. Uh and the Scoutmaster Smith Shenanigans,
they just made it all work so great. Of course,
you needed me to play along. You needed a communist foil.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
I played.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
I played the communist foil. I had to, because you know,
I sat there and I said, if I don't play
the communist foil, this whole thing's going down.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
That's where it's going and I couldn't let that happen. Dodgers,
give me that commie hat, I'm going to do the
high kick. Look my hot take.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Listen, I'm a hot sports taker for better or for worse,
and that is what I do, and I have very
hot takes. My hot take on Friday and it was
hot outside, and maybe it was a feverish of me,
but I thought the A's were going to sweep the
Dodgers so hard, and my A's fought hard and they
were in it.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Or did you celebrate their victory on Friday night? Did
you celebrate the A's winning and delivering the Dodgers their
third consecutive the fourth consecutive loss.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
I wait, I kind of don't want to say this
because I have to go out there on Thursday. But
Steven Nelson roots so hard for all of us while
call in the game that it makes me just root
against the Dodgers. So he'll be sad. Uh. And it's
a conflicted way to you know. Well, yeah, born and
raised in La Matt, you know, I mean, it's a
it's a it's a. I mean, I I met al

(03:21):
Kim Panis when I was a kid, you know, I
mean I I don't know what to tell you.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Well, I think at that point you just kind of
flip it on over to Jenny Kavnar. I, you know what,
let to see what the other sides got going.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Time they play the A's, I will flip over to
Jenny Kavnar. But like I do a double take when
Steven Nelson's like, come on, key k, time to get
it started. It's like, is that guy calling play by
play or get down ball? It's like, what excuse me?
Are you golfing? What do you what's happening?

Speaker 2 (03:51):
So I a good get down when you're golfing and
you hit a flyer? Sit sit, come on sit.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
So yeah, I did root hard for my a's all weekend, Vic,
but I didn't get my sweep. That's not cool, right, Vick?
Not cool at all?

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Bad guy, that's me, bad guy at the Dodger station here.
I'm a villain in the mix, like Ben Mautain.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Is that because if you have Berkeley Berkeley ties?

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Sure? No, he was just being a comedy out there
brewery act. Just wanted to be a comedy. Vic. I
went on a comy cap with a with a hammer
and sickle and all of a sudden, all of a sudden,
started acting like a freaking communist.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
You know what it's like to have a chivato in
every corner watching everything you do, everything.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
You think. You should have heard him, Vick, he's talking,
he's all this anti capitalist right at the payroll it
should be equal and the A's are one of the
lowest payrolls. Equal pay for mounta dats. At some point,
these billionaires, we've gotta we've got to overtax them, eat

(04:52):
the rich. That was my thief right, checking out the off.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Run, checking out the Petro's some Money Summer tour stop
number four at Brewery.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Bobby Valentine was great, even on the phone. Martin Jarman
came on the phone. There was one we learned about
the foot washing of the Orange Lutheran team from.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Roger tremendous shows, a tremendous show. But money's stinking badges.
And I love those badges that were dolled out, you know,
to the to the to the listeners, especially that woman
who was vaping.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Oh vic, you should have seen.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
I saw the vape lady and it was amazing.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
She really delivered. That might be the most I've ever vaped.
I vaped really hard. You hit that vape hard to participate,
I tried.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
I mean she ran away with that badge.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Oh yeah, and she giggled. Petros tried he was a saboteur. Yeah,
she was mid inhale and she giggled with at something
Dross had said. And we were going to give her
another run at it, but she didn't even need it. Well,
what I said was about socialist revolution around the world.
Who was this Michael Phelps lungs over there on that

(06:11):
freaking vapist.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Mad Kudos to the vapist.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
She's not like you with baby lungs choking when she
hits it. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Vic, Back in the day, I could suck it down. Shit,
yeah you could.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
You're telling me true. And Pete, I love your stretching
by the way, you are very well.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
You're going to give a stretch badge. Who are you
going to measure yourself against? Right, you got to measure
yourself against somebody stretching.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Oh, it was a hell of a couple. We had
the male female mixed. Uh, we had mixed stretching going.
I mean was an Olympic event. That would have been
who we'd send over. We could have kept the goal,
but we only had that one badge, So yeah, well,
and that lady was just running away with it. I mean,
you're doing back bends and she's got her freaking ankle
stuck in her ear canal. I mean it was really
something I didn't see her to be honest. Well, you
were doing a back then she was just kind of

(07:03):
right in front of you, like, hey, I'm gonna compliment
this backbend. I putting my freaking ankle in my ear.
The people anticipated with great enthusiasm, and we think that
for that it was.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
A sensational segment. The badges. Will you bring that back money?
What do you think is that just a one time well?

Speaker 1 (07:23):
I mean, you know, Vick Kate's only built one windmill,
you know, I mean we you know, going back to
the wow on these things is not usually a great idea.
But we will have a great show in Thousand Oaks
on Thursday, I mean on Friday, excuse me, Friday at
three o'clock at Tarantula Hill and will be a great show.
Deseean Foster is going to be there from UCLA.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
So as far as the Dodgers go, Freddie Freeman is

magic and cookies prayers were answered. Nobody else's and Freddy's
talking on Meadia our prayers were answered. Freddie Freeman is
talking to the media right now, and David Vasse join

(09:04):
the anger and vitriol that exists between Vassa and Ben.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Maller, we don't have real very uncomfortable. Yeah, the bitterness
is real. Two guys that work together, you know, shoulder
shoulder every day. The birth of AM eleven fifty right, Oh,
look at this text. If there's someone who looks like
a COMI, it's Victor Brick now listen. Oh yeah, very
commed is hiding everywhere. And Resputin was against the comedy.

He was most definitely against him, but they couldn't kill him.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
There's commi's hiding everywhere, okay, and Petros Castro Daccus is
one of them.

want this lifestyle.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
You've been to Russia, Vict, You went to Russia.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
That's not cool back in the day.

Speaker 2 (10:48):

do a lot of well buying and selling.

Yeah, and you were selling black mark. Who was the uh?
Who was who was in office? Who was the lead?
Was it brazav Was it Gorbachev? Who was it? I
think it was I was.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
I was there for a week. It was in January.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
So we have to hear from our our engineer.

Speaker 6 (11:47):
I'm sorry, Vick. You know I've known you for twenty
plus years. Oh, Matt, And we've talked a long time
and in very great detail about your travels. And this
is the very first time that I've ever heard you
mentioned that you've been to Russia. Is this the truth?

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Exactly right, Ronnie Vic.

Speaker 6 (12:10):
We seem to find a new layer every single time
we talked to you.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
I'm peeling it back. I'm peeling it back.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
After twenty plus years. Vic, one week selling perfume in Moscow.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
I rode the trains from where I remember the bitter cold.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
What year is this?

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Vi?

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Seven eighty eighty eight, There, VICKI weren't you in Guam
in the eighties?

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Seventy nine.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Seventy US is not Russian?

Speaker 4 (12:45):
I returned home and I made some pitch stops along
the way, and one of them was was Moscow. I
took a flight from New Delhi to Moscow to Athens.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Actually that was the rooty Athens, Moscow exactly You sure
you weren't in Moscow, Idaho and Athens, Georgia.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
I remember eating a lot of smoked fish in.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Moscow, drinking a lot of drinking, a lot of a
lot of spirits, a lot of vodka, h a lot
of branding.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
I mean, it's commy, it's commy freaking it's not the
USSR freaking Soviet Union that's the heart of the Cold War.

Speaker 6 (13:33):
So, Vic, did you have like this dude in a
trench coat following you everywhere you went?

Speaker 4 (13:37):
I'm sure, I'm sure I was covered. I was very
I was in stealth mode. I rolled the subways. I
didn't make myself very visible.

Speaker 6 (13:52):
Vic, I don't think you can help.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
You're on record Ronnie saying that you call him BS.
Is that what you're saying, Ronnie or calling I'm.

Speaker 6 (14:01):
Just gonna say, maybe there's a bit of embellishment.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Well, you're either in Russia. You're not selling perfume on
the black market on the streets of or the alleys
of Moscow, or you're not. I mean, I don't get arrested, Vic,
I got lucky.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
I think Roddy's calling BS and now he doesn't want
to say it all away. You know what I'm saying, Matt,
I believe all of Vic's stories. You know where I
come out. I'm on the opposite side. So many you
were about the can of Modello Megra, Well that's.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
He was proven, it was proven wrong. That that almost
immediately came from the textoso where they're like, no, that's
not possible.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Vic is like doctor Hivago out there. I didn't know that, Vic.
I didn't know that you had that kind of that
kind of life.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
How long are we talking, Vic? How long were you there?

Speaker 3 (14:49):
Maybe maybe a week like five days?

Speaker 1 (14:52):
And how much money did you make on the perfume?

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Not that much?

Speaker 2 (14:57):
I mean, how did you get involved in the in
that in that trade?

Speaker 1 (14:59):
How did you he had to be at a found
to met a guy who had downloads some perfume.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
Well, back in the day, this is you know, you know,
pre social media, so it was basically a word of mouth,
you know, a'mong to.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
See this one guy among the travelers. He's got the
black market market perfume to help you from smelling. Now,
I totally buy it, Vic, for sure.

Speaker 5 (15:21):
Vic, when you went there, what business did you state
when they asked you? Why are you here?

Speaker 3 (15:26):
A tourist?

Speaker 5 (15:28):
And that just went over kosher in nineteen eighty during
the Cold War.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Remember, he's not coming from America. He's coming from guang
which is America.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Through a New Delhi through Athens.

Speaker 5 (15:37):
Right, I believe him.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
I had a very I was in and out. It
was very clean.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Speaking of the international vibe, VIC, Uh, what is your
take on the Olympics of the puzzo. I mean there
is so much puzzo talk in this Olympics. We got
a pole vault puzzo that happened.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Breaking bar straight off. They're calling that guy.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
From Uh, They're calling that guy Benito Puzzolini puzzo so big. Uh.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
We had the we had the uh, the puzzo in
the the hard puzzo. French diver right in the speedo
held down by the spido so it couldn't be fully unfurled.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Uh, but a diver boner nonetheless, opening ceremony putso on
sack Uh. Phallic Eiffel Tower everywhere, dirty river. Uh. And
then there was the the one diving team called long
Wang if you saw those guys, your thoughts on the description,

(16:34):
your thoughts at the Puzso Olympics, VIC, this Olympics and Francis,
it's all about the poots.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Obviously, puzzo dominating a lot of the summer, so going.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Your puzzo outoo going.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
It's all the side buss sidebarss stories.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
Let's face it, you're searching for an angle, especially after
you know, a week of intense games.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
It's it's puzzo. It's been all about the boxing puzzo.
Do they have a puzzo? Do they not have a puzzo?
It's been puzzo since the opening ceremonies, since jump. This
Olympics has been about the penis.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Get your puzzozzo going.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
Absolutely, that's a that's an excellent observation, very acute observation.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Well not really, it's just a Puso's right in your
face every time you turn it out. I mean yeah,
it's like it's it's almost like you'd be wrong not
to observe. Yeah, that guy knocked the bar off. It's
it's healthy whatever it is. Yeah, I'm with it.

Speaker 6 (17:34):
How about this guy during the men's and women's Olympic
basketball team in the middle in center court, you can
see that some of the the Louis vautan esque designs
seem to feature a puzzo in the middle of.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Excuse me, Yeah, I would never put that on Louis Vatanah,
he's a great man and a great.

Speaker 6 (17:53):
Take a look at center court the next time you
watch one.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Of the rastmaker of trunks. I'm just saying large trunk.
It's a lot of poots, a.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
Proliferation of puzzo. What's listen, let's visit social media. Is
you know, run amok searching for angles and suddenly there's
a lot of puzzo.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Well, I mean, you know again, you lose it. I don't.
I don't remember this much.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
This much talk about putso the less Olympics ever ever
in any Olympics, all the out there Olympics combined.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
That's a that's a very salient point.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Yeah, we had the speed walker from Poland in Tokyo
twenty twenty one, and now we got it everywhere. I mean,
owners flaccid horse, it's everywhere. I mean that thing yesterday
was something.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
When I said, look at this Olympics. It's crazy, it's wild.
What's next. I could never have predicted that a guy
was going to lose the pole vault because of his dog.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
No, that's literally, that was those the people that they
have not seen the video literally and in the poles
to the bar off with his big flopping dogger.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
In the polls, no pun intended. Most people, general consensuses,
would rather want the whole world to know how big
their dog is than to have the Olympic medal.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
I would agree. I would imagine going back to the
Olympic buildings.

Speaker 5 (19:23):
It couldn't be anything else.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yeah, you're not sleeping. There's a line out your door
service please, Right, everybody wants a piece of the dong
seen around the world so powerful, I'll even flaccid.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
If you thought the bar, yeah, to slap the bar
off of the hinges. And if you thought Matt and
I were the only guys preoccupied with the poots, how
about you watch the biggest sporting event in the world. Huh.
And you say, are Matt and I wrong to have
all puzzo talk all the time? That's what I thought, right,
We're head of the curve is always as always, even if.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
You have a curve puzza you see them. Actually, couldn't
be anything else, all right?

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Thank you Vic, official Puzzo Show of Record, no doubts,
Thank you Vic, and thank you Ronnie for calling Vick out. Uh,
We're going to talk to David Vassi because he talked
to Freddie Freeman just now. And the Dodger's heroic not
getting swept by the A's in fact winning the series,

(20:22):
even though they did lose on Friday Night, on the
momentum of my prediction. Now we also have a top
story of the day, Matt was out at camp. We

with a squeegee out there.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah, hurry, you need to purge. We got you squared away.

Speaker 1 (21:04):

Speaker 2 (24:17):
It's David Vessel of the Dodgers Day with an inside
look at the Dodgers. This is the Vass Report with
David Vasse. I was wrong. The Dodgers didn't get swept
by the A's. They won the series.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
They lost on Friday, though, And David Vass was there
and came back yesterday and has all the information. Andrew
Friedman has spoken today. Freddie Freeman is back with the
team and he has spoken today. And David Vasse always speaks.
He is our Dodger reporter. There's nobody better. MLB Network
Spectrum Sportsnet at am five seventy LA Sports dot Com

(24:54):
on your Soakout Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. It's David Vasse.
What's cracking, Dave?

Speaker 7 (25:00):
Hey, guys, just finished being in the room with Freddie Freeman,
who held a press conference that took about thirty minutes,
and he was really detailed and explaining the timeline of
when the Freeman family knew that little Max Freeman was
dealing with something more serious than just a normal virus.

(25:22):
And he actually remembered that it was last Wednesday night
at ten forty six pm when the doctors were able
to take the ventilator off of Max Freeman and he
was on the road to recovery. So a very emotional
press conference, as you guys can imagine. But the reason
why Freddy Freeman is here, he said, is because Max

(25:43):
Freeman is trending in the right direction.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Dave, did we know obviously great to have him around.
Do we know just in terms of play schedules, he
ready to kind of get back in and get after
it now.

Speaker 7 (25:56):
Oh yeah, he's in the starting lineup. He'll be starting
at first base tonight, he said. Once Max started to
get in the right direction over the last four to
five days, he went out to his old high school,
El Madena High School out there in Orange County with
his dad, through with his dad, hit with his dad.
So he said that he's been doing a little bit

(26:18):
of baseball stuff in the last few days.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Did I read this right? That after being out for
like three or four months, Max Monsey decided to go
to a chiropractor and that's what's now got him back
on the road to recovery. Like twelve weeks later he
got this thing done.

Speaker 7 (26:35):
Yeah, I guess when we were on the road, Dave
Roberts said that months he had some chiropractoral procedure where
it released something in his ribcage area. That's what the
Dodgers are saying. Max months, he's out here taking ground
balls and I don't know, maybe part part of the
road to recovery for Max months he was the trade

(26:57):
deadline passing as well. You know a lot of times
when that happens that and players are injured, they seem
to get better pretty quickly when they're not traded.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
David Vasse is our guest at the Real Underscore DV.
The Dodgers are back from losing in San Diego three
straight and winning a series in Oakland. The team's mood
seem to have improved over the weekend.

Speaker 7 (27:22):
Dave, Uh, yeah, I would say so, and especially getting
the pitching performances that they got, not only from Jack
Flaherty in his Dodger debut, but also their bullpen. Their
bullpen held down the fort when they were called upon
to hold on to his win and last yesterday in
Oakland River, Ryan only went four and a third innings

(27:43):
and the Dodger bullpen only gave up a hit. So
that's what's made people more encouraged. And also being back
here at Dodger Stadium, you're seeing faces that you haven't
seen in ten eleven days, and you see that these
guys have made pretty big strides in their road to recovery.
Miguel Rojas, Tommy Edmund, Chris Taylor, Lookie Betts, and Max

(28:05):
Munsey all out here doing work and participating in simulated
games in some respects. So that also gives everybody a
little bit of boost to see these guys are in
fact improving and close to returning.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Dave, who who do you think leaves Who's I mean,
that's a lot of names, that's a lot of guys
that are are going to be off the you know
that are going to be out of here with me.
You know all of those names you just mentioned and
you got Edmund and that's I don't need to go
through them, you already did. But like, that's a lot
of guys that aren't going to be around. Do you
kind of have an idea of how you think that's
going to look? Well?

Speaker 7 (28:39):
I mean, you have a lot of guys in the
starting lineup on this road trip that were designated for
assignment by their teams and combined as a team. The
Dodgers truck out ninety nine times on this last road trip,
so there are certain guys that are more placeholder than
anything else. But you're right, Matt, and Andrew Freeman joked
with me that, you know, it might be stupid of him,

(29:00):
but to believe that all these guys are going to
be healthy at the same time because it hasn't happened,
but when it does, not only do they have tough
decisions to make on their active twenty six man roster,
but they also have tough decisions to make with their
forty man roster because there are guys that are coming
off the IL, not fifteen day IL, but also sixty

(29:22):
day il and when they come back, they need a
forty man roster spot. So there's some tough decisions to
make more, some more harder than others.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Last time the Dodgers played Philly, they got destroyed right
before the All Star break. Philly's been losing some games.
How big It feels like every series is big, as
the Dodgers are only four up or whatever, But how
big is this series?

Speaker 7 (29:46):
It's big in one way. Petros the Phillies the Dodgers
saw a couple of weeks ago, is not the same
Phillies team that we're going to see at Dodgers Stadium.
They have all their players, but they have been on
a bigger skid than the Dodgers have without their players,
So they're catching the Phillies at a good time. They
have a tall task tonight to score runs off of

(30:07):
Aaron Nola. But keep in mind, even with the Dodgers
playing basically five hundred over the last sixty games, the
Dodgers are only a game and a half behind the
Phillies for the best record in the National League, which
is hard to believe because of how well Philadelphia was
playing up until the week before the All Star Break,
where they have gone into a big swoon, and the

(30:30):
Braves are back in the NL East race and the
Dodgers are backing contention for the best record in the
National League.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
How how does that line up, Dave? With all the
injuries and obviously we had we didn't even mention the
bullpen with Grattarol and Brazier and all those guys, because
the top two seeds, you know, get the boys. You
got to get one of those first two so you
can keep yourself out of the wild card round. But
is the number one something that you think they would
chase down and play guys and go to their you know,

(30:58):
their arms, that they want to go two in the
bullpen repeatedly down the stretch of the season to best
the Phillies to make sure if they get to the
NLCS that Game seven would be at home.

Speaker 7 (31:10):
Well, at this point, I'm not sure they can do
anything other than what you just described. They're in a
pennant race themselves for the division. They're in a division race,
so it's not like they have a ten game lead
in their division. They're only leading by four and a
half games. The Diamondbacks are red hot, so they have
no other choice at this point to try to win
each and every night.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
The one and only David Vasse, our Dodger reporter nobody
is stronger in the game than the real dv Freddie
Freeman is back tonight. Dave is back in the City
of the c U DoD and the Dodgers are taking
on the Phillies. It's a clown question.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Bro Thanks a clown question, bro.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
So grandar Se Bryce Grandarol's there and he's coming back soon.

Speaker 7 (31:58):
Dave, I have not put eyes on Bruce star Gradorol,
but he and Michael Grove just appeared for Oklahoma City
a day or two ago, and that's like their seventh
or eighth appearance. So both of them are very close
to returning, if not on this homestand then certainly on
the upcoming road trip, but at least one of them

(32:19):
will be activated during this Homestand.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Dave, you mentioned the outing of River Ryan and kind
of how that went, and we know the last time
that Clayton Kershaw was out there didn't go so well either,
kind of how do you how do you think this
thing's going to shake out, Because like Walker, Buehler's ready
to come back, right, he's gonna maybe get another shot
at this or how are they going to approach that?
And then with Bobby Miller as well.

Speaker 7 (32:44):
Yeah, River Ryan probably is going to be sent down
when Walker Buehler comes back, because the Dodgers need to
see what they have in Walker Bueller. Yeah he's back,
Yeah he's healthy, but he hasn't pitched that great in
Oklahoma City. So there's one more start in Oklahoma City
for the Dodgers call him up, and they need to
see what they have and what Walker Buehler has and

(33:05):
make a decision off of that as well. So that's
a key component into their decisions as far as how
it may look in October. And also Yoshi Yamamoto through
a bullpen session on Saturday. He's throwing another one tomorrow
here at Dodgers Stadium. That's also a big deciding factor
on how their postseason rotation is going to look like.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
If he's not pitching, well, will they throw him out
there anyway?

Speaker 7 (33:33):
Yamamoto or Buehler either one. If Bueller's not pitching, well,
I don't see how they can do that. He hasn't
If he comes back and pitches the way he did
before he went to Florida for a month, to try
to work things out. I don't know how you can,
how you really can reconcile that with the rest of
your team trying to win a World Series, you can't

(33:54):
just give the spot to a guy for what he
did in twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
But Yoshi's got to get a shot.

Speaker 7 (34:00):
Right, He's going to get a shot if he can
make his way back. It's one thing to throw a
bullpen session. It's another to actually throw the hitters and
be in a game.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
So he will.

Speaker 7 (34:11):
If he continues to trend in that direction. The Dodgers
are crossing their fingers, he will be available.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Dave, I give you as we say goodbye Philadelphia and
Los Angeles in the NLCS or the field, which one
do you want?

Speaker 7 (34:27):
I want Dodgers Phillies in the NLCS. That would be
electric at Dodgers Stadium and also back in Philly, So
I'm rooting for that. That would be great for baseball.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
Good you're great for baseball, not malor have a great
night and we'll talk to yourself.

Speaker 7 (34:43):
A lot more pleasant report with you, guys than the
b teams that preceded you.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Well, how hard of a situation is that between like
if at a scale of one to ten, if ten
is like if tenn is is like some real anger
and vitriol, what is your well?

Speaker 7 (35:00):
I feel like uh, I feel like Will Smith did
after Jerkson Profar got all hot under the collar with
Gavin Stone earlier in the season. Ben Maller will retreat
into the night here shortly whenever Rodney comes back from
his yacht trip. And so I would say, uh, Ben
Maller on the radio scale scale for me, is mister
irrelevant like you?

Speaker 2 (35:21):
Oh wow, oh boy, oh god.

Speaker 7 (35:24):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Kate just put his head in his hands. He's like, no, god, cool,
How many drinks for you today? Not?

Speaker 1 (35:31):
You're going on that yacht trip one of these years.
Best say that's how big you're getting. Everybody on the
yacht cheered for.

Speaker 7 (35:38):
We should all go on below deck together. That should
be an episode.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Everybody on the yacht cheer.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
And when Simone bole just throw up all over each other,
everybody on the yacht cheered.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
That's right.

Speaker 7 (35:52):
Hey, you got to know where people are petros when
you tweet.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah, it's not like everybody in the jail house cheered
when someone no, no in the yacht, well, thank you,
Dave have.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
A great night. Thanks, Thanks Dave.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Everybody in the stifling heat, cheer.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
We got up from our day of relaxation where we
do nothing but float around to Port City.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
I try normal fair Saturday Sunday mornings, surfed early both
of those Saturday all I got out of the water
extra early seven am. Guy Surf with former pro TJ Ritings,
who has the Longboarding Is Not a Crime podcast, which
I would highly recommend if you want to hear Old
Timey long Wait.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
I love it was like a longboard podcast, a shortboard
hot dog podcast by Burden. Not for me, No, I
like the longboard podcast.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
It was Longboard Weekend actually still going today and tomorrow
will be the finals at the US Open. So went
out to the opening heats at seven thirty am. And
as we pulled into each honey to Beach chap. So
we pulled into the ninth street Surfing US Open and
surfing shortboards will get going here longboards this weekend, today
and tomorrow. And as we pull in, as you would imagine,

(38:00):
parking's at a premium. So I decide, because Dave Weese
let me know that I heard had a bunch of
stuff going on. Do I want to be part of it? No,
that sort of thing. So I go to the you know,
the VIP parking. I'm like, hey, yeah, I heard radio.
They look at me and she's like, yeah, I don't
see you on here. And as that was happening, somebody

(38:20):
was pulling out of a public spot just to our left,
and I was like, you know what, never mind, TJ,
check it out right there. So we go to pull
in and we got ourselves a standoff, oh.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
With another somebody else wants a spot.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Yeah, two ladies in a Volkswagen tig one believe they
have claim to that spot, and deft driving by TJ.
We just, you know, the more aggressive person wins. So
we get in there and as you would imagine, they
they're sitting there. As we get out of the car,
you kind of avoid. I'm like, well, passport, let's see

(38:54):
what do we gotta pay here? And they're still sitting
there and I can feel the eyes burning through the
back of had so I finally turn around. We lock
eyes and she said, you know, that was really rude.
We had our signal on. I hope you two have
a terrible day. Wow, did you no? We arrived at
the exact same time, and we didn't have a terrible day.

(39:15):
We had a great day. She didn't curse you with
her careenness. I did not. Karen did not curse me.
I was able to catch up with Matt Waxhead, who
does the commentary for the longboarding stuff for the WSL,
got to watch some great surfers Connie Ella and Kay
Salis and Taylor Jensen for a few hours. It was
a lot of fun and did not have a terrible

(39:36):
day at a couple of beers with Cunningham up at
his place, dinner with the wife and mother in law,
and then Sunday, same deal. Surfed went over to the
Good Doctors for his wife's birthday. Laura at surfside all day.
A lot of spicy marks and I did drink too much.
Oh yeah, yeah, I fell asleep on their couch, sleep

(40:00):
on there car. What time, probably like eight eight last night? Yeah, right,
when you remember when you texted me about you attacked
the chase and it turned out the greatest car chase
of all time.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
They guys switched cars from going ninety after you attack.
Like it's my Like I have control over the chase,
Like I alert everybody of the chase. I send out
if there's a chase, and I know, I alert Matt
and Tim that there's a chase, right, and I reciate
that chase On nine and Matt text back this chase
sucks balls. I was like, oh, I'm sorry. Let me
spice it up for you somehow. What am I supposed

Speaker 2 (41:13):
College I had like a huge blowout.

Speaker 5 (41:15):
Oh yeah yeah. I had a stomach game from a
funnel cake from a funnel cake. So oh yeah, that
funnel cake came from the OC fair.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (41:25):
Last night, my wife and I went to go see
a country artist named Brett Young who's a SoCal guy
who is not very big but kind of like middle
tier country singer. And he played at the Pacific Antheater Jobber.
He played at the Pacific Amphitheater at the OC Fair,
which is a cool location I had never been to before,
I know, talking with myself here, but it is a

(41:46):
is a great spot. Eight thousand people fit in there.
It was jam packed, had a great time. We went
inside the fair afterwards for the final ninety minutes while
it was open, and uh, went on the carousel.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
What do you know?

Speaker 6 (41:57):
What do you call that?

Speaker 2 (41:57):
The merry go?

Speaker 1 (41:58):
What?

Speaker 5 (41:58):
There's the thing that goes up and down, up and
down paris out there? You go carrosl' not the ferris wheel. Well,
the ferris wheel, not the charroussel.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
Saying that it goes up and down. I'm gonna go
ferris wheel, right farris w ferris wheel gobbler puto goblin.

Speaker 5 (42:12):
Yeah, that's a that's what We went on, but had
a funnel cake and got sick from the funnel cake
and decided to leave about midnight when it closed, walked
about a mile to our car. You had to leave, no,
I think they were opened a little bit later. So
we we walked to the car. We parked well past
occ Bomb the outskirts of the college parking lot there.

(42:34):
It was so crowded last night, so we walked about
a mile to the car and a mile back with
everybody else that was there. It was sold out at
the OC fair last night.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
What about your guts? Where did you go to the bathroom?

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (42:44):
I raced home. I got back from Coast to Mason
to Burbank Don Martin style in like thirty five forty minutes.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Did you have to roll down the window to get
fresh air on your face?

Speaker 5 (42:52):
Yes, we did. We enjoyed the fresh air of Coast
to Mason until we got to the four O five freeway. Yes, because,
believe it or not, no restrooms at OCC were open
as we were walking through the campus. Yeah, nothing was open.
I was looking, there's a restroom locked, could not get there.
So yeah, Ronnie made.

Speaker 6 (43:10):
It backus had a nice weekend myself. On Saturday, we
went to the beach. I'm not much of a beach person.
I don't think I've been to the beach, and it's
been like maybe three four years since I've actually been
to the beach and walked on sand.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
Where'd you go?

Speaker 6 (43:24):
So we went to El Matador Beach in Malibu, where
we hung out for a good portion of the day,
enjoying the weather and the serenity of the sea. I
was very happy that we did make the decision to go.
It took a little bit of convincing of my wife
to convince me to drive to Malibu and go to
the beach, but I'm glad that we did.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
We had a great time.

Speaker 6 (43:43):
Indeed, Saturday night, we had a nice family and friends
get together with our good friends, the Christofferson's in Burbank.
They had a party at their house and we got together,
hung out, had some great food, had some drinks, did
a little bit of karaoke, just had a great time
all the way around. The party ended around midnight, and
we were all pretty lit, pretty lit, so much so

(44:04):
for me that I know. I didn't sleep on the guy.
I didn't fall asleep on the Christofferson's couch, thank goodness.
But I did nurse a hangover on Sunday, so I
slept in until about four o'clock in the afternoon. With
the Olympics on in the background all day long, I
was able to manage myself to get get up and
get into the shower because we were able to go

(44:25):
to the yard house where we had a family dinner
and so go ahead, mad, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
That was that was great.

Speaker 6 (44:31):
I did not I did not have the half yard.

Speaker 5 (44:35):
I did not know.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
I had two pub glasses. That's what I had.

Speaker 6 (44:39):
The stone. I p a pup and that was my weekend.
What about you, pe I lay low, you know, me.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
Lay real low.

Speaker 6 (44:45):
Any drinking.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
Oh sure I had a drink or too, but I well,
come on, I went to yoga, but no. Saturday morning
I spoke to the Palace Verdies Breakfast Club, which is
a very interesting club. It's a club that was brought
I've toald maybe talked about it before, like it's eighty
years ago. During World War Two when they were shutting

(45:07):
out all the lights and doing curfew and the cliffs
you know of course of the South Bay, they paid
these high school kids to watch the cliffs for Japanese
lights and to tell everybody to turn their lights off.
Well what these kids did was, you know, just get
drunk on the cliffs and watch the cliffs. And they
couldn't pay them money. So the city said, well, we

(45:27):
own this golf club. We'll feed you breakfast every two
weeks for the rest of your lives. So, I mean,
all those guys are dead because you know, I mean
they will be one hundred years old. So it's their
kids like my dad, people like that that are around
that age. This is the second time I've spoken to
the club. It's about two hundred men and it's pretty rewarding.

(45:49):
It's a lot of fun and very interesting club with
a great history, and they've been for eighty years plus.
They've been meeting every two weeks for the city of
Palace Vertes because they checked the lights every night.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Or World War two. My son for his.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
Friend's birthday, Fletcher flew on a small plane from the
Torrents Airport all around the area. So I spent most
of that time praying uh and thinking that he was
going to die like a little single inch and Sesson three.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
Three seater four seed or something like that. Yeah, for
his first flying a pilot like the kid's dad, or
just like the dad.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
The dad, the kid and Fletcher and then the pilot guy.
It was like for the birthday. I guess there was
a baseball game that I went to, so yeah, there
you go.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
That was my weekend. I went to the pharmacy for
my wife. Drive through or did you walk in? Both?
Didn't serve you in the draft?

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Well, I took two trips. M On the other trip,
I bought a bottle of a bullet RYE.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
And uh, how many store associates did you have to
get to help you with that one?

Speaker 1 (46:58):
I just pulled it right off the shelf. Oh wow,
to pop something off the top though, you know, like
a weird thing. Right, all right, y'all, we'll be right
back with your word number song of the day, Petrosen
money rolling forward till seven o'clock, I mean till six o'clock.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
I'm sorry.
