haughty as the Peninsula Paris.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Listen, old cuisine or low cuisine, It doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
It's all about the customer.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, the customers will have tables and reservations and made
them a week in advance. It's not about the celebrity.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
No, not at all about about the celebrity.

You know his because he made a deal with the Voice.

you do this star effict. Save that for the yacht.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Are you calling me a little yachty?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
No, little little YACHTI would know better, little YACHTI would know. Serena,
you ain't getting a table at the Peninsula if you
didn't make your reservation a week in advance.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Did you happen to call ahead? No?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
I did, and I'm Serena Williams. Well I was going
to walk in there. Well you know the reservations have
been booked for a week. So what I'm Serena Williams.
If they don't seat me, I'll take to Twitter and
say mean things about them.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Up Shot, if you own the restaurant and p you
have had extensive experience with.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
We're offering you an out. This isn't out for you.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I told you my man, my man was physically assaulted
in my father's restaurant just for walking in at the
wrong time. Told tavern on sixth Street and Center in
San Pedro into this.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Thing, I mean, iconic restaurant.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Well, you were treated a certain way at the Taverna
because of who you.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Are, but well it was a different color magnificent dining
experience at.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
The Matt had such a rough time at the taverna once.
I almost had to perform CPR on him because this
esophagus was so fiery at my condominium. That's true. I
did get the felo. Matt got the dust and may esophagus. Yes,
and I had to pump as esophagus like I was like,
oh god, all the heartburn or god. I was like
almost famous at my house in the tub. Vic take
(05:24):
that to Russia with your bootleg perfume.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, that's much better story than sticking up for Serena.
That's not much better story, big sticking up for Serena.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
You don't want to know of the perfume in Russia.
I was paid in rubles and you could not take
rubles out of the country at that time.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (05:42):
So I had to spend the rubles in Moscow.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Now, how did you get the job? How do you
get a job selling bootleg perfume when you're in Moscow
for but five days war Bruce.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Horns Cath it was there was a black market at
that point for for American perfume, But.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
How do you find the like it's a black market
it's there aren't comfortable calls. Uss up the door, Matt.
There are multiple calls to shut the door. That's why
we've moved. We shut the door on that conversation. Look
at this, and now we've moved to Russian perfume.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
This has time to shut the door.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
So basically I had all these I had all these
crazy rubles, and I had to spend it in Moscow?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
How'd you do that?
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Ate a lot of smoked fish and kognak?
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, all right, I'm coming back to like, what was
it Monday, Tuesday? When Vic first said he was in Russia?
That was Monday, Yeah, Monday. I was about twenty percent.
I don't eighty percent. This is a lie, and now
I'm at forty percent this is true.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I'm all in.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
This is Circo.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Was it the currency talk? Because I don't know how
Vic got into Russia during the Cold War with this
American passport.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
It was open at that time.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
This was winter of nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Do you think you're billy Joel.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah. They were hoping to suck you in full, you know,
fill you up with commie propaganda, not pull back the curtain,
you know, so you would go back to the States
and say things like, well, you know, breadlines aren't so bad,
especially when that bread is as hard as a rock,
(07:38):
breaks your teeth, right, makes you tougher, Matt, This.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Is a terrible allegation from one of our friends in
law enforcement. This says, punished Vic. I'm a retired detective,
and you two are letting him off the hook, like
the district attorney letting criminals out free.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Oh God, don't you dare put that on us?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
What do you think about that? Vic?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
We gave you an opportunity to how dare you, sir?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Well, the die has been cast on my opinion of
service in restaurants. No, I mean, it's pretty crystal clear.
I am one for the consumer. It doesn't have to be.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You want everybody to read a table whenever they want
at any restaurant, regardless of the reservation or restaurant being
able to make its own rules, refuse the right to
service to anybody. You want all that to go by
the wayside. And you want the customer to always be.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
A celebrity customer. The celebrity customer, Oh, it doesn't matter
if it's Serena Lyles.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
I want the situation to speak for itself. Let's say,
let's say what it doesn't have to be again, No.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Vick, you're saying Serena Williams should get a table ahead
of the person that knew the Olympics were in Paris.
This is one of the most in demand restaurants in Paris.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
John Jackamas, please, Jean Jacques Misuspleed was right behind her.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm gonna make a reservation a month in advance so
I can get into the peninsula. What about Jean Jaques Muspleed.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
He can't get his table.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
He's not getting his table because Serena Roly girl has
shown up.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, she gets her smoked fish and cognac. But what
about Misspleed.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Well, my perfect situation is if I'm the manager of
that of the restaurant, I would say, I'm sorry, I
can't believe For'm sorry, Miss Williams, but I can make
make some calls and find you a beautiful table, some
a comfortable restaurant.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
That's what I would do, and I know p you
would do that at the Torono.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, let me find you another Greek restaurant here in
San Pedro. This is a prime example, Matt of somebody
that gets acqudit of a crime and then goes right
out and just commits another crime or the same crime,
and dares you to punished.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I feel as though he has backed off his initial position,
which was give Serena a table period.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Exactly one call and make another reson.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Now he is saying, it's Serena Williams. Let me see
if I can help you out. I'll make a call.
There's earth restit. But see that's and what about her accountability.
That's using her celebrity to try to destroy a backs you.
We don't know when in this back and forth she
sent that tweet. Maybe it's immediately vic after.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
The only thing that we are that celebrities or anybody
is allowed to attack on Twitter or social media that
everybody can get behind is the airlines. No one ever says, ooh,
you entitled celebrity. Everybody hates the airlines, right, everybody but
the Peninsula and Gay Perry soccerate blue.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
VIC point is grab the moment, Grab the moment.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Did you take any pictures?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Do you take any pictures in Russia?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Good one, Pete, take any pictures.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I have holding the bottle of Chanelle number five or
it was actually no, no, h a five and a half.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Nothing, no documentation, no documentation whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
And he could corroborators like a Brian Denahey character from
Gorky Park. Before he was disaboweled.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
It was a strictly in and out quick Why did
you go there? I just wanted to see the city.
I was very curious about the city.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And you went from Sri Lanka.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
From Sri Lanka actually know, from New.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Delhi, Okay, from New Delhi to Moscow to fall throughout things.
And obviously back then in much different time, you book
a flight, it's not going to cost you fifty you know,
five thousand dollars to do that exactly whatever. Then you
walk in it's a couple hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
It's like India traveling then was like the Indiana Jones, right,
It's just it's just a dotted line on a map.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
It's a very cheap toss a block of style. He's
a cheap flight because you're stopping in Moscow. And somehow
it became a very inexpensive flight. A flot I did
fly Ara flot, the rush line.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I hear their seats are incredibly uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Check the records.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
There's not a great flight. You know it's it's no
Singapore Airlines. Let's face it, well, it's no Cafe Pacific.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
No, Joel, do you remember Luftons? Do you remember with
the Olympics in Russia and so Chi?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, that that never came out.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
All these things that happened with Russia, Russian Vayer and
you do more of your political talk, you know, on
the other show. It's more tolerated there. I mean, all
these things that have happened in Russia. Have you mentioned
your trip to Russia selling bootleg perfume before?
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Only only on the Petrosomony Show have I done this
wacky sideball.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Now I'll say this, Pete. We also got guam out
of him the cock dome announcing that was not that,
but that wasn't We got the fight yea and him
breaking up a fight between navy folks, and that was
corroborated on the top rated by a Navy man.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
No, I want to believe. I'm like the company over
here celebrating a birthday this week. Happy birthday, I want
to believe. But you know it also comes on the
heels of this ridiculous service take that he has, and
it's hard. You know, there's part of me that wants
to slam the jail door and walk away for a
little while.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Listen, I understand unruly cussed. My father, the Great Harry Jacobs,
owned the bar downtown New York before they built up
that area. But it was all sailors coming in to
his bar at eight o'clock in the morning for a
shot of gin and a beer chaser.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
And so I'm trying to justify your take, not at all.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
I'm just saying, you know, I understand unruly customers will
win their unruly And there was one incident where someone
you know, had a few drinks, was getting a little
nuts in the bar, and my father had a you know,
Harry had escort him out into the street in a
truculent manner.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Like a truculent manner?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Is there any other manner? And I scored somebody out
into the street, grave danger? Is there any other kind?
Was he thrown into the trash like Chris Clipper Daryl?
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Just basically take it out of the out of the
bar so he couldn't do anymore.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Now, social damage damage, This.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Is not my question, Vick. I don't live to antagonize you.
This comes from a listener named Dusty and it says,
did Vic just liken Serena to a drunken seaman?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
No?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
No, okay, but that's that's a wild analogy.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
There's also the Negro Modelo cans.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yeah, that was just kind of that was I vote
that like that was an inn a sponsorship pandering, sponsorship pandering,
and it was still Modela. It was just not, you know,
not Negro Modela.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
It was the early days of Modello.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Now it can't. I did just google. I did just google.
American tourism in the Soviet Union circa nineteen.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Eighties, nineteen eighty that was the year they had. Was
that the year they had the Moscow Olympics and the
Americans didn't show up.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
That was Lake Placid when the Russians didn't show up. Well,
the Russians didn't show up in eighty four here right,
Well that would be the summer, so the winter. Yeah,
so they did show up in Lake Placid because that
was the miracle on ice.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
So that would have been eighty two eighty that well,
if it's winter, it's two years.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
No, no, no, no, they just did that. I believe I
think that.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Just started every four years though they didn't have an
Olympics in nineteen eighty. Where was the Olympics in eighty?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I believe the Olympics was Lake Placid nineteen eighty. If
I remember the Winter Olympics, Yeah, that was the Russia.
So a Vic is there in eighty.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I'm just saying it was the Moscow Olympics in nineteen eight.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I think seventy six was when Doug Collins got hosed
in the in the BS basketball thing. I believe seventy
six was Moscow nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Summer Olympics games branded as the Moscow.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Nineteen eighty, so that's something. Yeah, Summer Olympics I think
was seventy. Summer Olympics nineteen eighty Moscow Winter was eighty
Lake Placid, they used to do him in the same year. Yes, so, Vick,
you were there post Olympics.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
I was there.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
I was there running around January nineteen eighty, so it
had to be before the Summer.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Olympic game, before the Olympic boycott.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Gotcha?
Speaker 3 (17:20):
All right? My bad? I thought we were talking Winter Olympics.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
If America boycotted those Olympics, which I believe they did
in the.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Summer, yes, vic the brick.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Traveling to Russia in nineteen eighty as an American is
less believable, is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
But he said he was there in January.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
January eighty. I took a lot of you know, I
took a lot of heat.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, because Januaries were that's the month that everybody goes
to Moscow, right man, I mean that's the peak like
terrace time.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yeah, well, northern Hemisphere, you want to go, and it's
bone chillingly.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Cold, crazy, it was. I I froze my talk.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
It does say it was relatively easy to travel in
the Soviet Union for Americans, but you would have, now, big,
there is something. There are some qualifiers here, right, What
can you tell us about your time? Were you free
to Rome?
Speaker 4 (18:20):
I was free to Rome.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
About the subways, I took the subway everywhere in Moscow.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
And I was free to Rome.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
At that point, it was it was still, you know, again,
relatively easy to travel. But the heat was just beginning,
you know, politically, and I was I was beginning.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
I was getting a lot of heat wherever I was going.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
And that's fine almost you know, I'm defending red, white
and blue wherever I went.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I don't buy that. I don't buy that for a second.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
You're not like Rob Lowe and Oxford Blues wrapping the
US of abroad.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
No, uh uh, Well, conversations would get crazy, especially at
that time it was very political.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
You would get into heated political conversations in Moscow.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
That doesn't seem like it go over well.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
In the January of nineteen eighty, right before the US
decided to boycott the Olympics seventy six was Montreal.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
There were very intense conversations on the trip.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Absolutely, I'm going to fly. Now. Think about this man.
You're a young man in the heart of the Cold War, okay,
taker Taylor Soldier.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Spot Oh, let's go me and Gary, oldman.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
You've come from New Delhi to Moscow and you figure, Hey,
you know what I'm going to do. I'm alone, I
got nothing going on. I'm going to sell this perfume
and argue with all these stone faced, angry Russians in
this bitter cold I'm back to thirty percent.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I'm struggling to.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Let's let's check with the beetle.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I am struggling a little bit here, vic. I so
desperately want to want to be all in and be
at one hundred percent. But it's not like the Cold
War began an eighty two or anything with Star Wars,
I mean the Cold Wars. I think about the Cuban
missile crisis. You think, I mean, you.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Think that China was checking out Plaski's room when he
was at the Olympics in Shanghai. Recently. You're telling me
the KGB wouldn't gonna be up vix colo.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Right pre surge. Well, that's what it said here. It
said typically you had to register with the consulate. They
would have signed you a guide.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
And everywhere he goes he stinks of perfume.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
He's selling bootleg perfume for rubles, getting drunk on koonyak,
smoking a bunch of weed. Do you think Brezhnev's just
gonna turn a cold shoulder that, No, we're gonna throw you.
They're gonna send you the gulag Vic.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
I got lucky, just like r Gundy. You know, I was,
I was in and then I was out. I was
only in maybe four or five days, and then I
was out.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
It seems like they would be aware of all Americans
coming through.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
It was a little bit lacked.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I mean, you know yourself, Matt.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I came in with the perfume.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
It said you would be assigned a guide. While it
was relatively easy, you would be assigned a guide. You
had to apply for a visa. They wouldn't turn it
down for political reasons. It was easy to obtain, is
what it says.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Here, here's a quick out, Vic, and I'm gonna allow
you to take it, just to hit the button and
just abort mission. Couldn't possibly have been that you had
a layover in Moscow, slept and had a dream of
maybe bought some perfume at the duty free and that
was your Moscow experience. And maybe you had a political
(21:57):
conversation at an airport bar, and maybe you had one
meal of kognac and smoke fish. Could that be passed
that it's been conflated into a different store.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
I would love to take that out.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
But that is not what went down, Okay, So I
mean back then, you gotta remember this is you know,
before social media, so it was can't check your Instagram
a very net exactly.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
You can't go to my ex.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
At Vic fieling you and find out what happened on
the streets of Moscow Circle nineteen eighty. But I'm telling
you sold some perfume, ate some smoke fish, drank some
kognac and left town.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
I'm gonna give you. This is Paul Pearson, former diplomat,
lived in Moscow twenty thirty years. Yes, it was possible
to travel to the USS hours a tourist. There were
no restrictions on talking to anyone. However, outside of hotels
and tourist spots, you would never find someone that spoke English.
So unless you could speak Russian, it was impossible. Ordinary
(23:09):
Russians were barred from going into the hotels. Dorman would
stop them unless you bribed them. Even now, very few
people speak English. Fort and students there mix freely with
Russian students, but all of those conversations were monitored by
the KGB, hence very few Russians being willing to engage
with Americans zero percent. In my thirty years, my apartment
(23:34):
phone was always tapped. Many of my Russian friends were
picked up by the KGB and asked to report on me.
I stopped using my apartment phone and would only call
from public phones. It sounds like it was pretty gnarly big.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
I was lucky.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I was very lucky because I worked within just a
few days, got in, got to who worked with who.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
That's what I'm saying. Like they said nobody spoke English
back then.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Well, I went talked to some lady with her head
rating stoup and the groceries in her arms.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
I went in the city.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I like your theory, p fever dream layover in Moscow, right,
hopped up on really potent WOODCA.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I told people I went somewhere and I only had
a layover. It's okay, here's no shame there is. Yeah,
spent a great deal of time there.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Two and a half hours. I had been toasted revenutely.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
And for some historical perspective, it was a nineteen seventy
two in Munich that USA lost to Russia where Doug
Collins got screamed. Basketball. USA boycotted in eighty at the
Moscow Games and they retaliated in eighty four in LA
with Sammy Eagle.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Ce Vic. I own up to my mistakes. I butchered
the hell out of that. But do you believe in miracles? Yes,
nineteen eighty Lake Placid.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I'm just trying to say, you know, it was a
it was a volatile.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Time, yeah, peak Cold War star Wars Reagan and drop.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
But you were able to travel.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
If you just say you went there and got drunk
or whatever, I'd believe you. But this whole perfume saying
a few things weird. Did you go to a bath
like a Turkish bath with a bunch of tattooed Russian man.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
You think maybe you were in Czechoslovakia instead of Moscow.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
I remember that. It's not It's not like we're going
it's crazy. I remember, listen, it was only a few days.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
I did at We're not going to get to the
bottom of this. I want you to start there.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
For a few days, conducted my business.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
I remember the onion domes.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
And got out. I was in this.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Remember the subway. I remember there was statues in the subway.
I do remember that. Okay, there was statues in the subway.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Okay, okay, well, well we're gonna vet that.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Okay, we want to believe Vic.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Thank you, Vic, I know you do.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
Thank you, fellows.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
David Vassi will join us next. I wish we didn't
do thirty minutes of that, but I.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Really enjoyed the hell out of it.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
We had to get to the bottom of it, absolutely,
and there is an Olympic you know theme there. We
were able to figure out which Olympics was where and
when the split happened between the winter and the summer.
That was a ninety four.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
The Moscow Metro has seventy six bronze statues in the
socialist realism style that that depict people who helped defend
the Soviet nation. Okay, soldirack, farmers, athletes, writers, aviators, industrial workers,
school children.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
I'm back up to fifteen percent. Okay, But Vick could
have looked that up just like you did, Matt, he
could have.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
But of all the things, right, yeah, you're right, just
kind of that's you would have to know there were
statues to look that up. Still, Matt, your dirty com
of all these things, he's never brought this up.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
Are you sure this is actually really vic or this Ai?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Vic Ai? Man?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Now we're talking. We're all living in a simulation.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
We'll be back with David Vassy. He's for real and
he's with the Dodgers. A lot of updates, injuries, things
like that. Would love to see at Tarantula Hill on Friday. Oh, Matt,
do you hear it? Do you hear it? Matt? Do
I hear what the sycopated soft step of the camel
(27:33):
on the sad.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Yeah, at his finest, Uh, Dave is here.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
We gotta talk to Vassa. We're gonna talk some baseball.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
With an inside look at the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
This is the Vassie Report with David Vase. David vass
Is never been to Russia, but he's been to Korea,
and he's been to Australia and he's going to Japan
and he's with the Dodgers tonight. Dodgers in Philly, going
for one more. They call it a rubber game. When
you know they've won one each, you.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Know it's not a rubber match. No rubber game.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
That would be tennis. Uh, seven to ten, first pitch.
Gavin Stone's gonna go. David Vesse's the best at the
real underscore dv He'll be with us tomorrow from three
to seven from Dodgers Stadium at the All Access event.
How's it going out there today, Dave?
Speaker 7 (28:32):
Oh, it's a little bit more breathable with the heat
out here. It's great to see Freddie Freeman doing his
pregame routine. It's still a great sight to see him
back out here. So everybody's looking forward to it. And
as you guys mentioned the rubber match or the rubber game. Well,
one thing that's been decided already is that the Phillies
have won the season series. So if the Dodgers and
(28:52):
Phillies end up with the two best records in the
National League, the Phillies would get the number one seed
in the postseason because they have the tiebreaker.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Now, crazy movement on the roster, right, Dave, today.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Yeah, I mean, I mean, yesterday was really unfortunate. Everybody
feels horrible for Bruce star Graderol Game one hundred and fourteen,
he finally makes his season debut and eight pitches in
blows out his right hand string, so he's likely done
for the year, and he was placed on the IL
officially today, Michael Grove was activated and also the Dodgers
(29:28):
activated Miguel Rojas and James Outman. Tarzan has been optioned
to Oklahoma City Petrose.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
I'm sorry, Dave, just in terms of the do we
have up do we get daily updates on Mookie and
Muncie and Miller and Buehler, Like how often are you
told what's going on with those guys.
Speaker 7 (29:48):
Well, I had an exclusive conversation with Mookie two daily
WHOA reluctantly spoke to me. He was on the fence,
but we guilted in him and guilted him into talking,
and he just said that he doesn't feel any pain
in that left hand. He's been taking batting practice for
the last week. He was taking ground balls at shortstop,
(30:08):
and we found out why because he really still wants
to give it a go at shortstop, and the Dodgers
are going to afford him that opportunity. When he comes
back next week, he will be the Dodgers starting shortstop
and will not be leading off. He will be the
number two hitter Vandwich between Otani and Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
WHOA.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I mean, that's big news there, Dave. You said there's
no way they'd take the leadoff spot away from Anaho?
Was that his idea?
Speaker 7 (30:38):
I feel like there was some sort of compromise. You
can't take away shortstop and the leadoff spot from Moki
or you would lose what.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
About Mickey Ross. Mickey Rojas has to play shortstop.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
I know, and I feel like this will play itself
out going into September where the Dodgers are going to
see whether or not Mookie has improved with the throw
from shortstop, and if it hasn't gotten better, then eventually
you will see Miggy Rojas playing shortstop by the beginning
of September and Mookie. You know, if Gavin lux continues
(31:13):
to swing the bat the way he's swinging it, I
feel like in everybody else around here feels the same
way that right field right now would be the best
place to help the Dodgers put the pieces to the
puzzle together.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
What does that mean for Tommy Edmund, which they gave
up or at least passed on quite a bit to
get Tommy Edman out here? Is he just plug and
play right field, left field, third base, whatever you need
him to do? Or how does that affect that, dude?
Speaker 7 (31:41):
No, primarily Tommy Edman will play center field. He's an
elite defender in center, at second and shortstop, is what
Andrew Friedman told me. So he is going to primarily
play center field, and on days they may want to
give Lux or Rojas the day off and they will
(32:02):
play Tommy ey Sorry, Freddie was given me the stare
Yeah stair.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Showy Otani thirty and thirty on Pace for forty and forty.
Dave he's been one of the very few consistent parts
of this Dodger team this year. Why has he been
able to steal so many bases?
Speaker 7 (32:21):
Well, I talked to Clayton McCullough in Oakland and he
told me the preparation that o'tani has watching the videos
because he's just solely focused on hitting this year, he
has a lot more time to study videos of pitchers
moves and he even points out things to Clayton McCullough
that he doesn't see when it comes to an edge
(32:42):
or a movement to give him a chance to steal.
So he's stolen more bases than he ever has before
in a season, thirty four stolen bases, and he has
said publicly that he feels like that has allowed him
to thrive even more as a hitter. So he feels
like they are in tandem, him being a bit runner
on a base stealing threat, and just the power numbers
(33:03):
that he's showing this year. He's on pace for forty
nine home runs that would tie a Dodger La Dodger
record for the most home runs in the season that
our friend Sean Green currently.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Holds because it was a Kershaw start. It's the Philly.
Seemed like there were more eyeballs on our man Honeywell
last night. Everybody loves the turtleneck with the cut sleeves.
It's a hell of a look, the long hair, the
eighties villainesque presence. I thought he absolutely got hosed last night.
On that first pitch, Dave givin it ball four when
that thing clearly was in the strike zone. BS call
(33:36):
by them. Do you believe that sabotage for the rest
of his outing? Because I like this guy.
Speaker 7 (33:40):
No, he pitched really well two and two thirds before
the ninth inning. Only through fifty pitches he held the
score where it was a lot of us were surprised,
and I guess it was because of the limited options
Dave Roberts had at that point in time that he
sent him back out there for the ninth inning and
gave up back to back home runs to Eddie Sosa
and Kyle Schwarber. But all in all, I thought, Honeywell
(34:01):
really pitched well. And you know, I can't recall that
one pitch you're talking about, Matt, but he didn't give
up any runs until the ninth.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
What about Dave Kershaw going forward? After last night's outing
and seeing the old goat do his thing again. What
does it mean?
Speaker 7 (34:18):
Well, it was the best start that he's had so far.
And really, what I've been saying is the sky is
not River Ryan, He's not Gavin Stone, he's not Bobby Miller.
He's a three time cy Young Award winner, he has
an MVP. He's on his way to Cooperstown. So why
would everybody judge him after just two starts after coming
off major shoulder surgery. Just give this guy some time
(34:41):
to round into form and find himself again. And I
thought last night he started to do that and really
went back to who he is as a pitcher, a slider,
a fastball, showing his curveball with two strikes to get
swings and misses, which he got ken of yesterday compared
to zero against the pod. The biggest difference between Kershaw
(35:03):
now and before the surgery is the margin for error
is a lot slimmer because he doesn't throw as hard
as he used to. But if he brings his curveball
to the dance and he's got his slider work in
the way he did, it's going to be doable. And
he is working on a split changeup. He only threw
it once last night, but his bullpen sessions, he's been
(35:25):
trying to get a feel for it.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
So how many more outings just to get one last
one in here? Dave? If he can't get through five,
how much.
Speaker 7 (35:34):
To be got through five? Last night? They yanked him
prematurely last night.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Oh you're going premature ejection.
Speaker 7 (35:45):
He could have he could have faced you're telling me
he couldn't face Trey Turner in the middle of August
after only eighty one pitch base third time.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Trey gets a look at that third time. Now, Trey's
going to get a look at that.
Speaker 7 (35:59):
If that happens, I'm going after I hang up with you,
I have a meeting with him in the clubhouse.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
But yeah, what are you guys gonna go over the
minutes of your last meeting.
Speaker 7 (36:11):
We're gonna talk some shot petros copy that all right?
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Right? Well, great job, Dave, and thank you and thank
you for your hard work, and thank you for coming
and doing the show tomorrow. You is it you?
Speaker 7 (36:22):
I thought it was money.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
No, I'm the one taking I got I got. Thank you, Dave.
I apologize for not getting your golden day. It is
all my fault. I got charger stuff I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (36:34):
Are you going to bring up you know, what's happened
at Michigan in your meeting, your fancy meeting with Harbaugh?
Speaker 3 (36:39):
You know what, I'm gonna let Dan Faults do that.
I'm just gonna sit back and listen.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
I apologize for nothing.
Speaker 7 (36:45):
You have a lot to apologize for. We'll go over tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Thank you, Dave, Thanks David, Thank you guys.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
I gotta say, Matt, see how much people like Dave
Trey Turner don't have to sit with him. He's a
Philly and yet they're going to have a meeting and
go over notes and Dave's gonna put the screws to him.
You really think you could have got to head off Kushaw.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
You're the lucky they pulled him, Matt. There's a lot
of pushback on BIC. Nobody cares about Tarzan going to
Triple A or Grand Walls, Hammy. All anybody wants to
do is vet vics BS story.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
It is getting harder and harder to accept, and I
hate saying that.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
There's some real textoso detectives.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Yeah, seems like it would not be easy to just
roll in sell some black market perfume, drink some koonyak
with rubbles and then quickly get out and eat smoked
fish and laugh smoked fish, yeah, and laugh at idiots
like us, even if you're coming through New Delhi. I mean,
I got a hard time driving to Irvine. Well, all right,
(37:58):
should be harder than getting into Moscow. Stay out will
be That's why they call it the Orange Curtain. We'll
be back with some secret Textelso's. We got a slot
to come. I got to talk about USC and Notre Dame.
I'm pissed, Matt's pissed about last night's game.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
What else is new?
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Pisted narrowly avoided disaster Pee.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
I heard that that there's somebody there in the studio.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
He has left. The opponent came in. He said, I'm
hearing all this union talk. I'm coming in to tell
you no unions.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah, he doesn't understand the petrosen Mondy listener. Union.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Well, no, I think what I had said is he's
got to deal with the union himself. We were talking
Soviet union. He said, you guys were talking about a
union earlier. I was like, no, no, no Soviet union
talk that. I think we're all confused because in the
hallway Chris little from KFI said, hey, man, I heard
about the PMS union.
Speaker 6 (38:54):
And I said, yes, says the listeners have a union
for the last four or five years, and Paul goes,
what union? Yeah, Renion, I'm gonna go talk to the guy.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Yeah. So that's that's Paul Corvino union busting, not the
Soviet Union.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Okay, Well, I am again mistaken. He's very cloudy today.
I must have the whooping cough.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Are you okay?
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Long covid still huh Well, he said everybody, someone said,
you guys were talking about the union, and I was like, well,
we were talking about the Soviet Union.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Now he's he's going back to his office, so confused.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
That's so confused. Misdirection, man.
Speaker 6 (39:28):
He is yelling at somebody in the hallway right now.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, well yeah, I just didn't want to be guy.
I didn't want to be called out for not being
there by the yard duty the last time. Every time
I'm not there, he shows up and sticks his head
in there. But either way, we're back. It's the Petrol
Somebody show on the iHeartRadio app. We have been talking
a lot about the Soviet union, though, because Victor Brick
said that he spent five days, at least in Russia
(39:53):
in nineteen eighty, right before the US boycotted the Olympics
this summer there, Vic spent five days there, According to
Vic in Moscow, selling bootleg perfume to Russians and Matt.
I think this is an impactful text that we can
all get behind, it says BS. Context does a fine
(40:15):
brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers. We
make it easy, it says BS. Just the selling perfume
part is stupid. Why go to dirt poor ussr and
sell anything? Why there? The context is all wrong. How
did he make change? He didn't know the currency.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Yeah, it's very hard to connect these dots. It really is.
It's and the more I think about it, nineteen eighty,
I'm in January of eighty, I'm six years old. I
can distinctly remember that is like right in the window
of the day after like nuclear holocaust, red dawn on
(41:00):
our doorstep. You figured at any moment, I'm on a
swing set, and the very next segment inviscerrated I am
bone only for a split second, your bones, and then
you're just dust. Yes you see my bones, and then
I'm dust.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Hey, Tim, did you explain to Paul Corvino, the union
guy is just a really, really enthusiastic listener.
Speaker 6 (41:22):
I didn't have a lot of time.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
I did say it was a listener based union that
loves the show, but certainly is very opinionated.
Speaker 6 (41:29):
On things growing and growing and growing.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
And did you tell him that Don Martin calls him
union boy saying this.
Speaker 6 (41:36):
I didn't. It was a thirty second conversation.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
And so then he walked into the studio to talk
to Matt and he's like, what is this union talking?
Matt's like, what is up, comrade? Did you know that
Stalin gilp out Jude? Are you not familiar with the
Night Terrors? Vick was there with Breshnef.
Speaker 3 (41:53):
Now see, you know what, I think it's Little deflecting
because Little is the union rep here, and you know,
they got all these union negotiations going on. And maybe
the opponent comes at Little and Little's like, hey, man.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Don't come hear of the petros and money listener TMS
got a union, it's got nothing to do with us, Like, hey,
many the union demand things of us. We don't get
anything out of the union. Maybe some stickers a yardstick.
Ai Vic went to Moscow, Ai Petrosen money smoke poll.
Speaker 3 (42:26):
That's actually a true story. I mean you more and
more you think about it, though, Ai Vic, it could
be real. It could be like Stony just typing in
answers on the computer and not knowing Vic's history. Well,
then now he's stuck, he's missing sun something.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
The statues in the train station was compelling. I'll give
you that.
Speaker 3 (42:43):
Yeah, and it's not like two. It said there were eighty,
then there were seventy. And of their tribute to people
loyal to the Soviet Union, this.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
Says, Vick is full of S nineteen. This is to
your point, Matt, Vick is full of S nineteen eighty.
Russian shot down a Korean airliner KGB would be all
up Vic's ass, exactly right. And this says, ask Vic
where he got his visa to get in? How do
you negotiate perfume prices when you can't speak the language?
Speaker 3 (43:12):
It is very odd. A lot more questions than answers.
That's a fair point. Where'd you get your visa? You
ain't getting into Russia without a to the Soviet Union
without a visa.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Matt, I'm getting some text saying the day after was
nineteen eighty four. Was it really, I don't know, I
could be wrong. I worked for a brute leg perfume
company before those dudes are gangster. We would sneak into
office buildings, walking to random people's offices until we got
thrown out. But never was I offered a trip to
(43:46):
Russia to peddal our wares.
Speaker 3 (43:48):
Oh yeah, eighty three, eighty three, November eighty three. Yeah,
that makes sense because it was uh, I remember I
was at my uncle Woody's.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
But we're all trying to get you know, VIC brought's
up in nineteen eighty and you know we've all got
to get our arms around, you know, when and where
and how with the Cold War stuff to the exact
Vic's story.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
Yeah, the point being Pete cold war dirty hippie rolls
in from New Delhi selling bootleg perfume on the street,
very little that no cooperation with the government, didn't have
an escort, and it just it's hard to imagine. Now
back to America's just rolling into the Soviet Union.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
And the best part is the CEO of the company
walks into our studio goes, what is this PMS union? GUYE?
Matt's like Paris Droika Glasnost.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
Come on. Yes, maybe it's just the movies, but I
kind of feel like there was military walking all around
at the train stations, on the trains with big rifles.
Speaker 6 (44:50):
Wouldn't you have seen this for Vix?
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Those were just statues? And remember Vic's look in nineteen
eighty was a lot more scumbag drug dealer than it
was Hit.
Speaker 6 (45:01):
Remember that scumbag drug dealer look?
Speaker 2 (45:04):
Okay, Yeah, soul patch, feathered hair, paisleysh jacket.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
Don't forget the shooter glasses.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Yeah, shooter glasses. And you know he's coming for New Delhi,
So who knows he might have been wearing, like, you know,
some kind of serape. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
Vic can be a chameleon though, you know, he's the
kind of eye that would adapt.
Speaker 2 (45:27):
Oh like the Saint.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
Yeah, they would just be like, I'm into this, stay
with me. If you want to live, I'm into your
way of life.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
Some people have alleged that Vic might be CIA or
some kind of retired spook.
Speaker 6 (45:46):
I mean, Stony is in the CIA. We think maybe
there is a.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
There is a thread there. There's also been allegations of
time travel.
Speaker 3 (46:01):
Who I like that. I like that, Hey, what is
this union? No, no, no, not the union guy, the
Soviet c CCP.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
You just see him walking out of there, shaking his head.
Nick Clive Volkov, Remember, I don't know what he said,
but he said something. He did walk out union Paul
Nesting Dials. That's what we're talking about.
Speaker 3 (46:26):
Okay, that's Khrushchev, Yanko, and Offska.

Of business, even if that businsiness is as snooty and
haughty as the Peninsula Paris.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Listen, old cuisine or low cuisine, It doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
It's all about the customer.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, the customers will have tables and reservations and made
them a week in advance. It's not about the celebrity.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
No, not at all about about the celebrity.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Never know, Vic, It's been very celebrity laden with you.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
This celebrity, Snoop Dogg flavor Flave.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Smith Dog five hundred thousand dollars a day and he's
connected to the Voice and they sucked you ride in.
Hold the exuberance of Snoop Dogg.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
What's a five hundred thousand dollars loss per day for
crips' crips.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I told you guys before the Olympics saw it that
Snoop was going to be a factor in the in
the in the coverage because of this high energy.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You know his because he made a deal with the Voice.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah, he's one of the Voice judges with Riba who
was woefully out of place. Gwen Stefani and her carpet.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Reba's got a show coming up too with NBC, a
new sitcr See how it all ties in vic. You
make us look like real prisoners of the moment when
you do this star effict. Save that for the yacht.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Are you calling me a little yachty?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
No, little little YACHTI would know better, little YACHTI would know. Serena,
you ain't getting a table at the Peninsula if you
didn't make your reservation a week in advance.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Did you happen to call ahead? No?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
I did, and I'm Serena Williams. Well I was going
to walk in there. Well you know the reservations have
been booked for a week. So what I'm Serena Williams.
If they don't seat me, I'll take to Twitter and
say mean things about them.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Up Shot, if you own the restaurant and p you
have had extensive experience with.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
We're offering you an out. This isn't out for you.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I told you my man, my man was physically assaulted
in my father's restaurant just for walking in at the
wrong time. Told tavern on sixth Street and Center in
San Pedro into this.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Thing, I mean, iconic restaurant.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Well, you were treated a certain way at the Taverna
because of who you.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Are, but well it was a different color magnificent dining
experience at.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
The Matt had such a rough time at the taverna once.
I almost had to perform CPR on him because this
esophagus was so fiery at my condominium. That's true. I
did get the felo. Matt got the dust and may esophagus. Yes,
and I had to pump as esophagus like I was like,
oh god, all the heartburn or god. I was like
almost famous at my house in the tub. Vic take
(05:24):
that to Russia with your bootleg perfume.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, that's much better story than sticking up for Serena.
That's not much better story, big sticking up for Serena.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
You don't want to know of the perfume in Russia.
I was paid in rubles and you could not take
rubles out of the country at that time.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (05:42):
So I had to spend the rubles in Moscow.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Now, how did you get the job? How do you
get a job selling bootleg perfume when you're in Moscow
for but five days war Bruce.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Horns Cath it was there was a black market at
that point for for American perfume, But.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
How do you find the like it's a black market
it's there aren't comfortable calls. Uss up the door, Matt.
There are multiple calls to shut the door. That's why
we've moved. We shut the door on that conversation. Look
at this, and now we've moved to Russian perfume.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
This has time to shut the door.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
So basically I had all these I had all these
crazy rubles, and I had to spend it in Moscow?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
How'd you do that?
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Ate a lot of smoked fish and kognak?
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, all right, I'm coming back to like, what was
it Monday, Tuesday? When Vic first said he was in Russia?
That was Monday, Yeah, Monday. I was about twenty percent.
I don't eighty percent. This is a lie, and now
I'm at forty percent this is true.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I'm all in.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
This is Circo.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Was it the currency talk? Because I don't know how
Vic got into Russia during the Cold War with this
American passport.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
It was open at that time.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
This was winter of nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Do you think you're billy Joel.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah. They were hoping to suck you in full, you know,
fill you up with commie propaganda, not pull back the curtain,
you know, so you would go back to the States
and say things like, well, you know, breadlines aren't so bad,
especially when that bread is as hard as a rock,
(07:38):
breaks your teeth, right, makes you tougher, Matt, This.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Is a terrible allegation from one of our friends in
law enforcement. This says, punished Vic. I'm a retired detective,
and you two are letting him off the hook, like
the district attorney letting criminals out free.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Oh God, don't you dare put that on us?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
What do you think about that? Vic?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
We gave you an opportunity to how dare you, sir?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Well, the die has been cast on my opinion of
service in restaurants. No, I mean, it's pretty crystal clear.
I am one for the consumer. It doesn't have to be.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You want everybody to read a table whenever they want
at any restaurant, regardless of the reservation or restaurant being
able to make its own rules, refuse the right to
service to anybody. You want all that to go by
the wayside. And you want the customer to always be.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
A celebrity customer. The celebrity customer, Oh, it doesn't matter
if it's Serena Lyles.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
I want the situation to speak for itself. Let's say,
let's say what it doesn't have to be again, No.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Vick, you're saying Serena Williams should get a table ahead
of the person that knew the Olympics were in Paris.
This is one of the most in demand restaurants in Paris.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
John Jackamas, please, Jean Jacques Misuspleed was right behind her.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm gonna make a reservation a month in advance so
I can get into the peninsula. What about Jean Jaques Muspleed.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
He can't get his table.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
He's not getting his table because Serena Roly girl has
shown up.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, she gets her smoked fish and cognac. But what
about Misspleed.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Well, my perfect situation is if I'm the manager of
that of the restaurant, I would say, I'm sorry, I
can't believe For'm sorry, Miss Williams, but I can make
make some calls and find you a beautiful table, some
a comfortable restaurant.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
That's what I would do, and I know p you
would do that at the Torono.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, let me find you another Greek restaurant here in
San Pedro. This is a prime example, Matt of somebody
that gets acqudit of a crime and then goes right
out and just commits another crime or the same crime,
and dares you to punished.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I feel as though he has backed off his initial position,
which was give Serena a table period.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Exactly one call and make another reson.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Now he is saying, it's Serena Williams. Let me see
if I can help you out. I'll make a call.
There's earth restit. But see that's and what about her accountability.
That's using her celebrity to try to destroy a backs you.
We don't know when in this back and forth she
sent that tweet. Maybe it's immediately vic after.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
The only thing that we are that celebrities or anybody
is allowed to attack on Twitter or social media that
everybody can get behind is the airlines. No one ever says, ooh,
you entitled celebrity. Everybody hates the airlines, right, everybody but
the Peninsula and Gay Perry soccerate blue.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
VIC point is grab the moment, Grab the moment.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Did you take any pictures?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Do you take any pictures in Russia?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Good one, Pete, take any pictures.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I have holding the bottle of Chanelle number five or
it was actually no, no, h a five and a half.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Nothing, no documentation, no documentation whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
And he could corroborators like a Brian Denahey character from
Gorky Park. Before he was disaboweled.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
It was a strictly in and out quick Why did
you go there? I just wanted to see the city.
I was very curious about the city.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And you went from Sri Lanka.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
From Sri Lanka actually know, from New.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Delhi, Okay, from New Delhi to Moscow to fall throughout things.
And obviously back then in much different time, you book
a flight, it's not going to cost you fifty you know,
five thousand dollars to do that exactly whatever. Then you
walk in it's a couple hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
It's like India traveling then was like the Indiana Jones, right,
It's just it's just a dotted line on a map.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
It's a very cheap toss a block of style. He's
a cheap flight because you're stopping in Moscow. And somehow
it became a very inexpensive flight. A flot I did
fly Ara flot, the rush line.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I hear their seats are incredibly uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Check the records.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
There's not a great flight. You know it's it's no
Singapore Airlines. Let's face it, well, it's no Cafe Pacific.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
No, Joel, do you remember Luftons? Do you remember with
the Olympics in Russia and so Chi?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, that that never came out.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
All these things that happened with Russia, Russian Vayer and
you do more of your political talk, you know, on
the other show. It's more tolerated there. I mean, all
these things that have happened in Russia. Have you mentioned
your trip to Russia selling bootleg perfume before?
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Only only on the Petrosomony Show have I done this
wacky sideball.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Now I'll say this, Pete. We also got guam out
of him the cock dome announcing that was not that,
but that wasn't We got the fight yea and him
breaking up a fight between navy folks, and that was
corroborated on the top rated by a Navy man.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
No, I want to believe. I'm like the company over
here celebrating a birthday this week. Happy birthday, I want
to believe. But you know it also comes on the
heels of this ridiculous service take that he has, and
it's hard. You know, there's part of me that wants
to slam the jail door and walk away for a
little while.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Listen, I understand unruly cussed. My father, the Great Harry Jacobs,
owned the bar downtown New York before they built up
that area. But it was all sailors coming in to
his bar at eight o'clock in the morning for a
shot of gin and a beer chaser.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
And so I'm trying to justify your take, not at all.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
I'm just saying, you know, I understand unruly customers will
win their unruly And there was one incident where someone
you know, had a few drinks, was getting a little
nuts in the bar, and my father had a you know,
Harry had escort him out into the street in a
truculent manner.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Like a truculent manner?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Is there any other manner? And I scored somebody out
into the street, grave danger? Is there any other kind?
Was he thrown into the trash like Chris Clipper Daryl?
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Just basically take it out of the out of the
bar so he couldn't do anymore.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Now, social damage damage, This.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Is not my question, Vick. I don't live to antagonize you.
This comes from a listener named Dusty and it says,
did Vic just liken Serena to a drunken seaman?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
No?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
No, okay, but that's that's a wild analogy.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
There's also the Negro Modelo cans.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yeah, that was just kind of that was I vote
that like that was an inn a sponsorship pandering, sponsorship pandering,
and it was still Modela. It was just not, you know,
not Negro Modela.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
It was the early days of Modello.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Now it can't. I did just google. I did just google.
American tourism in the Soviet Union circa nineteen.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Eighties, nineteen eighty that was the year they had. Was
that the year they had the Moscow Olympics and the
Americans didn't show up.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
That was Lake Placid when the Russians didn't show up. Well,
the Russians didn't show up in eighty four here right,
Well that would be the summer, so the winter. Yeah,
so they did show up in Lake Placid because that
was the miracle on ice.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
So that would have been eighty two eighty that well,
if it's winter, it's two years.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
No, no, no, no, they just did that. I believe I
think that.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Just started every four years though they didn't have an
Olympics in nineteen eighty. Where was the Olympics in eighty?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I believe the Olympics was Lake Placid nineteen eighty. If
I remember the Winter Olympics, Yeah, that was the Russia.
So a Vic is there in eighty.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I'm just saying it was the Moscow Olympics in nineteen eight.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I think seventy six was when Doug Collins got hosed
in the in the BS basketball thing. I believe seventy
six was Moscow nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Summer Olympics games branded as the Moscow.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Nineteen eighty, so that's something. Yeah, Summer Olympics I think
was seventy. Summer Olympics nineteen eighty Moscow Winter was eighty
Lake Placid, they used to do him in the same year. Yes, so, Vick,
you were there post Olympics.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
I was there.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
I was there running around January nineteen eighty, so it
had to be before the Summer.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Olympic game, before the Olympic boycott.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Gotcha?
Speaker 3 (17:20):
All right? My bad? I thought we were talking Winter Olympics.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
If America boycotted those Olympics, which I believe they did
in the.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Summer, yes, vic the brick.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Traveling to Russia in nineteen eighty as an American is
less believable, is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
But he said he was there in January.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
January eighty. I took a lot of you know, I
took a lot of heat.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, because Januaries were that's the month that everybody goes
to Moscow, right man, I mean that's the peak like
terrace time.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yeah, well, northern Hemisphere, you want to go, and it's
bone chillingly.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Cold, crazy, it was. I I froze my talk.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
It does say it was relatively easy to travel in
the Soviet Union for Americans, but you would have, now, big,
there is something. There are some qualifiers here, right, What
can you tell us about your time? Were you free
to Rome?
Speaker 4 (18:20):
I was free to Rome.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
About the subways, I took the subway everywhere in Moscow.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
And I was free to Rome.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
At that point, it was it was still, you know, again,
relatively easy to travel. But the heat was just beginning,
you know, politically, and I was I was beginning.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
I was getting a lot of heat wherever I was going.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
And that's fine almost you know, I'm defending red, white
and blue wherever I went.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I don't buy that. I don't buy that for a second.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
You're not like Rob Lowe and Oxford Blues wrapping the
US of abroad.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
No, uh uh, Well, conversations would get crazy, especially at
that time it was very political.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
You would get into heated political conversations in Moscow.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
That doesn't seem like it go over well.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
In the January of nineteen eighty, right before the US
decided to boycott the Olympics seventy six was Montreal.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
There were very intense conversations on the trip.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Absolutely, I'm going to fly. Now. Think about this man.
You're a young man in the heart of the Cold War, okay,
taker Taylor Soldier.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Spot Oh, let's go me and Gary, oldman.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
You've come from New Delhi to Moscow and you figure, Hey,
you know what I'm going to do. I'm alone, I
got nothing going on. I'm going to sell this perfume
and argue with all these stone faced, angry Russians in
this bitter cold I'm back to thirty percent.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I'm struggling to.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Let's let's check with the beetle.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I am struggling a little bit here, vic. I so
desperately want to want to be all in and be
at one hundred percent. But it's not like the Cold
War began an eighty two or anything with Star Wars,
I mean the Cold Wars. I think about the Cuban
missile crisis. You think, I mean, you.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Think that China was checking out Plaski's room when he
was at the Olympics in Shanghai. Recently. You're telling me
the KGB wouldn't gonna be up vix colo.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Right pre surge. Well, that's what it said here. It
said typically you had to register with the consulate. They
would have signed you a guide.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
And everywhere he goes he stinks of perfume.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
He's selling bootleg perfume for rubles, getting drunk on koonyak,
smoking a bunch of weed. Do you think Brezhnev's just
gonna turn a cold shoulder that, No, we're gonna throw you.
They're gonna send you the gulag Vic.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
I got lucky, just like r Gundy. You know, I was,
I was in and then I was out. I was
only in maybe four or five days, and then I
was out.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
It seems like they would be aware of all Americans
coming through.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
It was a little bit lacked.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I mean, you know yourself, Matt.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I came in with the perfume.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
It said you would be assigned a guide. While it
was relatively easy, you would be assigned a guide. You
had to apply for a visa. They wouldn't turn it
down for political reasons. It was easy to obtain, is
what it says.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Here, here's a quick out, Vic, and I'm gonna allow
you to take it, just to hit the button and
just abort mission. Couldn't possibly have been that you had
a layover in Moscow, slept and had a dream of
maybe bought some perfume at the duty free and that
was your Moscow experience. And maybe you had a political
(21:57):
conversation at an airport bar, and maybe you had one
meal of kognac and smoke fish. Could that be passed
that it's been conflated into a different store.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
I would love to take that out.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
But that is not what went down, Okay, So I
mean back then, you gotta remember this is you know,
before social media, so it was can't check your Instagram
a very net exactly.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
You can't go to my ex.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
At Vic fieling you and find out what happened on
the streets of Moscow Circle nineteen eighty. But I'm telling
you sold some perfume, ate some smoke fish, drank some
kognac and left town.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
I'm gonna give you. This is Paul Pearson, former diplomat,
lived in Moscow twenty thirty years. Yes, it was possible
to travel to the USS hours a tourist. There were
no restrictions on talking to anyone. However, outside of hotels
and tourist spots, you would never find someone that spoke English.
So unless you could speak Russian, it was impossible. Ordinary
(23:09):
Russians were barred from going into the hotels. Dorman would
stop them unless you bribed them. Even now, very few
people speak English. Fort and students there mix freely with
Russian students, but all of those conversations were monitored by
the KGB, hence very few Russians being willing to engage
with Americans zero percent. In my thirty years, my apartment
(23:34):
phone was always tapped. Many of my Russian friends were
picked up by the KGB and asked to report on me.
I stopped using my apartment phone and would only call
from public phones. It sounds like it was pretty gnarly big.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
I was lucky.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I was very lucky because I worked within just a
few days, got in, got to who worked with who.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
That's what I'm saying. Like they said nobody spoke English
back then.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Well, I went talked to some lady with her head
rating stoup and the groceries in her arms.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
I went in the city.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I like your theory, p fever dream layover in Moscow, right,
hopped up on really potent WOODCA.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I told people I went somewhere and I only had
a layover. It's okay, here's no shame there is. Yeah,
spent a great deal of time there.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Two and a half hours. I had been toasted revenutely.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
And for some historical perspective, it was a nineteen seventy
two in Munich that USA lost to Russia where Doug
Collins got screamed. Basketball. USA boycotted in eighty at the
Moscow Games and they retaliated in eighty four in LA
with Sammy Eagle.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Ce Vic. I own up to my mistakes. I butchered
the hell out of that. But do you believe in miracles? Yes,
nineteen eighty Lake Placid.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I'm just trying to say, you know, it was a
it was a volatile.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Time, yeah, peak Cold War star Wars Reagan and drop.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
But you were able to travel.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
If you just say you went there and got drunk
or whatever, I'd believe you. But this whole perfume saying
a few things weird. Did you go to a bath
like a Turkish bath with a bunch of tattooed Russian man.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
You think maybe you were in Czechoslovakia instead of Moscow.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
I remember that. It's not It's not like we're going
it's crazy. I remember, listen, it was only a few days.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
I did at We're not going to get to the
bottom of this. I want you to start there.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
For a few days, conducted my business.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
I remember the onion domes.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
And got out. I was in this.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Remember the subway. I remember there was statues in the subway.
I do remember that. Okay, there was statues in the subway.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Okay, okay, well, well we're gonna vet that.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Okay, we want to believe Vic.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Thank you, Vic, I know you do.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
Thank you, fellows.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
David Vassi will join us next. I wish we didn't
do thirty minutes of that, but I.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Really enjoyed the hell out of it.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
We had to get to the bottom of it, absolutely,
and there is an Olympic you know theme there. We
were able to figure out which Olympics was where and
when the split happened between the winter and the summer.
That was a ninety four.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
The Moscow Metro has seventy six bronze statues in the
socialist realism style that that depict people who helped defend
the Soviet nation. Okay, soldirack, farmers, athletes, writers, aviators, industrial workers,
school children.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
I'm back up to fifteen percent. Okay, But Vick could
have looked that up just like you did, Matt, he
could have.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
But of all the things, right, yeah, you're right, just
kind of that's you would have to know there were
statues to look that up. Still, Matt, your dirty com
of all these things, he's never brought this up.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
Are you sure this is actually really vic or this Ai?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Vic Ai? Man?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Now we're talking. We're all living in a simulation.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
We'll be back with David Vassy. He's for real and
he's with the Dodgers. A lot of updates, injuries, things
like that. Would love to see at Tarantula Hill on Friday. Oh, Matt,
do you hear it? Do you hear it? Matt? Do
I hear what the sycopated soft step of the camel
(27:33):
on the sad.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Yeah, at his finest, Uh, Dave is here.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
We gotta talk to Vassa. We're gonna talk some baseball.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
With an inside look at the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
This is the Vassie Report with David Vase. David vass
Is never been to Russia, but he's been to Korea,
and he's been to Australia and he's going to Japan
and he's with the Dodgers tonight. Dodgers in Philly, going
for one more. They call it a rubber game. When
you know they've won one each, you.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Know it's not a rubber match. No rubber game.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
That would be tennis. Uh, seven to ten, first pitch.
Gavin Stone's gonna go. David Vesse's the best at the
real underscore dv He'll be with us tomorrow from three
to seven from Dodgers Stadium at the All Access event.
How's it going out there today, Dave?
Speaker 7 (28:32):
Oh, it's a little bit more breathable with the heat
out here. It's great to see Freddie Freeman doing his
pregame routine. It's still a great sight to see him
back out here. So everybody's looking forward to it. And
as you guys mentioned the rubber match or the rubber game. Well,
one thing that's been decided already is that the Phillies
have won the season series. So if the Dodgers and
(28:52):
Phillies end up with the two best records in the
National League, the Phillies would get the number one seed
in the postseason because they have the tiebreaker.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Now, crazy movement on the roster, right, Dave, today.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Yeah, I mean, I mean, yesterday was really unfortunate. Everybody
feels horrible for Bruce star Graderol Game one hundred and fourteen,
he finally makes his season debut and eight pitches in
blows out his right hand string, so he's likely done
for the year, and he was placed on the IL
officially today, Michael Grove was activated and also the Dodgers
(29:28):
activated Miguel Rojas and James Outman. Tarzan has been optioned
to Oklahoma City Petrose.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
I'm sorry, Dave, just in terms of the do we
have up do we get daily updates on Mookie and
Muncie and Miller and Buehler, Like how often are you
told what's going on with those guys.
Speaker 7 (29:48):
Well, I had an exclusive conversation with Mookie two daily
WHOA reluctantly spoke to me. He was on the fence,
but we guilted in him and guilted him into talking,
and he just said that he doesn't feel any pain
in that left hand. He's been taking batting practice for
the last week. He was taking ground balls at shortstop,
(30:08):
and we found out why because he really still wants
to give it a go at shortstop, and the Dodgers
are going to afford him that opportunity. When he comes
back next week, he will be the Dodgers starting shortstop
and will not be leading off. He will be the
number two hitter Vandwich between Otani and Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
WHOA.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I mean, that's big news there, Dave. You said there's
no way they'd take the leadoff spot away from Anaho?
Was that his idea?
Speaker 7 (30:38):
I feel like there was some sort of compromise. You
can't take away shortstop and the leadoff spot from Moki
or you would lose what.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
About Mickey Ross. Mickey Rojas has to play shortstop.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
I know, and I feel like this will play itself
out going into September where the Dodgers are going to
see whether or not Mookie has improved with the throw
from shortstop, and if it hasn't gotten better, then eventually
you will see Miggy Rojas playing shortstop by the beginning
of September and Mookie. You know, if Gavin lux continues
(31:13):
to swing the bat the way he's swinging it, I
feel like in everybody else around here feels the same
way that right field right now would be the best
place to help the Dodgers put the pieces to the
puzzle together.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
What does that mean for Tommy Edmund, which they gave
up or at least passed on quite a bit to
get Tommy Edman out here? Is he just plug and
play right field, left field, third base, whatever you need
him to do? Or how does that affect that, dude?
Speaker 7 (31:41):
No, primarily Tommy Edman will play center field. He's an
elite defender in center, at second and shortstop, is what
Andrew Friedman told me. So he is going to primarily
play center field, and on days they may want to
give Lux or Rojas the day off and they will
(32:02):
play Tommy ey Sorry, Freddie was given me the stare
Yeah stair.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Showy Otani thirty and thirty on Pace for forty and forty.
Dave he's been one of the very few consistent parts
of this Dodger team this year. Why has he been
able to steal so many bases?
Speaker 7 (32:21):
Well, I talked to Clayton McCullough in Oakland and he
told me the preparation that o'tani has watching the videos
because he's just solely focused on hitting this year, he
has a lot more time to study videos of pitchers
moves and he even points out things to Clayton McCullough
that he doesn't see when it comes to an edge
(32:42):
or a movement to give him a chance to steal.
So he's stolen more bases than he ever has before
in a season, thirty four stolen bases, and he has
said publicly that he feels like that has allowed him
to thrive even more as a hitter. So he feels
like they are in tandem, him being a bit runner
on a base stealing threat, and just the power numbers
(33:03):
that he's showing this year. He's on pace for forty
nine home runs that would tie a Dodger La Dodger
record for the most home runs in the season that
our friend Sean Green currently.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Holds because it was a Kershaw start. It's the Philly.
Seemed like there were more eyeballs on our man Honeywell
last night. Everybody loves the turtleneck with the cut sleeves.
It's a hell of a look, the long hair, the
eighties villainesque presence. I thought he absolutely got hosed last night.
On that first pitch, Dave givin it ball four when
that thing clearly was in the strike zone. BS call
(33:36):
by them. Do you believe that sabotage for the rest
of his outing? Because I like this guy.
Speaker 7 (33:40):
No, he pitched really well two and two thirds before
the ninth inning. Only through fifty pitches he held the
score where it was a lot of us were surprised,
and I guess it was because of the limited options
Dave Roberts had at that point in time that he
sent him back out there for the ninth inning and
gave up back to back home runs to Eddie Sosa
and Kyle Schwarber. But all in all, I thought, Honeywell
(34:01):
really pitched well. And you know, I can't recall that
one pitch you're talking about, Matt, but he didn't give
up any runs until the ninth.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
What about Dave Kershaw going forward? After last night's outing
and seeing the old goat do his thing again. What
does it mean?
Speaker 7 (34:18):
Well, it was the best start that he's had so far.
And really, what I've been saying is the sky is
not River Ryan, He's not Gavin Stone, he's not Bobby Miller.
He's a three time cy Young Award winner, he has
an MVP. He's on his way to Cooperstown. So why
would everybody judge him after just two starts after coming
off major shoulder surgery. Just give this guy some time
(34:41):
to round into form and find himself again. And I
thought last night he started to do that and really
went back to who he is as a pitcher, a slider,
a fastball, showing his curveball with two strikes to get
swings and misses, which he got ken of yesterday compared
to zero against the pod. The biggest difference between Kershaw
(35:03):
now and before the surgery is the margin for error
is a lot slimmer because he doesn't throw as hard
as he used to. But if he brings his curveball
to the dance and he's got his slider work in
the way he did, it's going to be doable. And
he is working on a split changeup. He only threw
it once last night, but his bullpen sessions, he's been
(35:25):
trying to get a feel for it.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
So how many more outings just to get one last
one in here? Dave? If he can't get through five,
how much.
Speaker 7 (35:34):
To be got through five? Last night? They yanked him
prematurely last night.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Oh you're going premature ejection.
Speaker 7 (35:45):
He could have he could have faced you're telling me
he couldn't face Trey Turner in the middle of August
after only eighty one pitch base third time.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Trey gets a look at that third time. Now, Trey's
going to get a look at that.
Speaker 7 (35:59):
If that happens, I'm going after I hang up with you,
I have a meeting with him in the clubhouse.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
But yeah, what are you guys gonna go over the
minutes of your last meeting.
Speaker 7 (36:11):
We're gonna talk some shot petros copy that all right?
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Right? Well, great job, Dave, and thank you and thank
you for your hard work, and thank you for coming
and doing the show tomorrow. You is it you?
Speaker 7 (36:22):
I thought it was money.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
No, I'm the one taking I got I got. Thank you, Dave.
I apologize for not getting your golden day. It is
all my fault. I got charger stuff I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (36:34):
Are you going to bring up you know, what's happened
at Michigan in your meeting, your fancy meeting with Harbaugh?
Speaker 3 (36:39):
You know what, I'm gonna let Dan Faults do that.
I'm just gonna sit back and listen.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
I apologize for nothing.
Speaker 7 (36:45):
You have a lot to apologize for. We'll go over tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Thank you, Dave, Thanks David, Thank you guys.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
I gotta say, Matt, see how much people like Dave
Trey Turner don't have to sit with him. He's a
Philly and yet they're going to have a meeting and
go over notes and Dave's gonna put the screws to him.
You really think you could have got to head off Kushaw.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
You're the lucky they pulled him, Matt. There's a lot
of pushback on BIC. Nobody cares about Tarzan going to
Triple A or Grand Walls, Hammy. All anybody wants to
do is vet vics BS story.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
It is getting harder and harder to accept, and I
hate saying that.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
There's some real textoso detectives.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Yeah, seems like it would not be easy to just
roll in sell some black market perfume, drink some koonyak
with rubbles and then quickly get out and eat smoked
fish and laugh smoked fish, yeah, and laugh at idiots
like us, even if you're coming through New Delhi. I mean,
I got a hard time driving to Irvine. Well, all right,
(37:58):
should be harder than getting into Moscow. Stay out will
be That's why they call it the Orange Curtain. We'll
be back with some secret Textelso's. We got a slot
to come. I got to talk about USC and Notre Dame.
I'm pissed, Matt's pissed about last night's game.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
What else is new?
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Pisted narrowly avoided disaster Pee.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
I heard that that there's somebody there in the studio.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
He has left. The opponent came in. He said, I'm
hearing all this union talk. I'm coming in to tell
you no unions.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah, he doesn't understand the petrosen Mondy listener. Union.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Well, no, I think what I had said is he's
got to deal with the union himself. We were talking
Soviet union. He said, you guys were talking about a
union earlier. I was like, no, no, no Soviet union
talk that. I think we're all confused because in the
hallway Chris little from KFI said, hey, man, I heard
about the PMS union.
Speaker 6 (38:54):
And I said, yes, says the listeners have a union
for the last four or five years, and Paul goes,
what union? Yeah, Renion, I'm gonna go talk to the guy.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Yeah. So that's that's Paul Corvino union busting, not the
Soviet Union.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Okay, Well, I am again mistaken. He's very cloudy today.
I must have the whooping cough.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Are you okay?
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Long covid still huh Well, he said everybody, someone said,
you guys were talking about the union, and I was like, well,
we were talking about the Soviet Union.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Now he's he's going back to his office, so confused.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
That's so confused. Misdirection, man.
Speaker 6 (39:28):
He is yelling at somebody in the hallway right now.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, well yeah, I just didn't want to be guy.
I didn't want to be called out for not being
there by the yard duty the last time. Every time
I'm not there, he shows up and sticks his head
in there. But either way, we're back. It's the Petrol
Somebody show on the iHeartRadio app. We have been talking
a lot about the Soviet union, though, because Victor Brick
said that he spent five days, at least in Russia
(39:53):
in nineteen eighty, right before the US boycotted the Olympics
this summer there, Vic spent five days there, According to
Vic in Moscow, selling bootleg perfume to Russians and Matt.
I think this is an impactful text that we can
all get behind, it says BS. Context does a fine
(40:15):
brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers. We
make it easy, it says BS. Just the selling perfume
part is stupid. Why go to dirt poor ussr and
sell anything? Why there? The context is all wrong. How
did he make change? He didn't know the currency.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Yeah, it's very hard to connect these dots. It really is.
It's and the more I think about it, nineteen eighty,
I'm in January of eighty, I'm six years old. I
can distinctly remember that is like right in the window
of the day after like nuclear holocaust, red dawn on
(41:00):
our doorstep. You figured at any moment, I'm on a
swing set, and the very next segment inviscerrated I am
bone only for a split second, your bones, and then
you're just dust. Yes you see my bones, and then
I'm dust.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Hey, Tim, did you explain to Paul Corvino, the union
guy is just a really, really enthusiastic listener.
Speaker 6 (41:22):
I didn't have a lot of time.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
I did say it was a listener based union that
loves the show, but certainly is very opinionated.
Speaker 6 (41:29):
On things growing and growing and growing.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
And did you tell him that Don Martin calls him
union boy saying this.
Speaker 6 (41:36):
I didn't. It was a thirty second conversation.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
And so then he walked into the studio to talk
to Matt and he's like, what is this union talking?
Matt's like, what is up, comrade? Did you know that
Stalin gilp out Jude? Are you not familiar with the
Night Terrors? Vick was there with Breshnef.
Speaker 3 (41:53):
Now see, you know what, I think it's Little deflecting
because Little is the union rep here, and you know,
they got all these union negotiations going on. And maybe
the opponent comes at Little and Little's like, hey, man.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Don't come hear of the petros and money listener TMS
got a union, it's got nothing to do with us, Like, hey,
many the union demand things of us. We don't get
anything out of the union. Maybe some stickers a yardstick.
Ai Vic went to Moscow, Ai Petrosen money smoke poll.
Speaker 3 (42:26):
That's actually a true story. I mean you more and
more you think about it, though, Ai Vic, it could
be real. It could be like Stony just typing in
answers on the computer and not knowing Vic's history. Well,
then now he's stuck, he's missing sun something.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
The statues in the train station was compelling. I'll give
you that.
Speaker 3 (42:43):
Yeah, and it's not like two. It said there were eighty,
then there were seventy. And of their tribute to people
loyal to the Soviet Union, this.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
Says, Vick is full of S nineteen. This is to
your point, Matt, Vick is full of S nineteen eighty.
Russian shot down a Korean airliner KGB would be all
up Vic's ass, exactly right. And this says, ask Vic
where he got his visa to get in? How do
you negotiate perfume prices when you can't speak the language?
Speaker 3 (43:12):
It is very odd. A lot more questions than answers.
That's a fair point. Where'd you get your visa? You
ain't getting into Russia without a to the Soviet Union
without a visa.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Matt, I'm getting some text saying the day after was
nineteen eighty four. Was it really, I don't know, I
could be wrong. I worked for a brute leg perfume
company before those dudes are gangster. We would sneak into
office buildings, walking to random people's offices until we got
thrown out. But never was I offered a trip to
(43:46):
Russia to peddal our wares.
Speaker 3 (43:48):
Oh yeah, eighty three, eighty three, November eighty three. Yeah,
that makes sense because it was uh, I remember I
was at my uncle Woody's.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
But we're all trying to get you know, VIC brought's
up in nineteen eighty and you know we've all got
to get our arms around, you know, when and where
and how with the Cold War stuff to the exact
Vic's story.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
Yeah, the point being Pete cold war dirty hippie rolls
in from New Delhi selling bootleg perfume on the street,
very little that no cooperation with the government, didn't have
an escort, and it just it's hard to imagine. Now
back to America's just rolling into the Soviet Union.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
And the best part is the CEO of the company
walks into our studio goes, what is this PMS union? GUYE?
Matt's like Paris Droika Glasnost.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
Come on. Yes, maybe it's just the movies, but I
kind of feel like there was military walking all around
at the train stations, on the trains with big rifles.
Speaker 6 (44:50):
Wouldn't you have seen this for Vix?
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Those were just statues? And remember Vic's look in nineteen
eighty was a lot more scumbag drug dealer than it
was Hit.
Speaker 6 (45:01):
Remember that scumbag drug dealer look?
Speaker 2 (45:04):
Okay, Yeah, soul patch, feathered hair, paisleysh jacket.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
Don't forget the shooter glasses.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Yeah, shooter glasses. And you know he's coming for New Delhi,
So who knows he might have been wearing, like, you know,
some kind of serape. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
Vic can be a chameleon though, you know, he's the
kind of eye that would adapt.
Speaker 2 (45:27):
Oh like the Saint.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
Yeah, they would just be like, I'm into this, stay
with me. If you want to live, I'm into your
way of life.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
Some people have alleged that Vic might be CIA or
some kind of retired spook.
Speaker 6 (45:46):
I mean, Stony is in the CIA. We think maybe
there is a.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
There is a thread there. There's also been allegations of
time travel.
Speaker 3 (46:01):
Who I like that. I like that, Hey, what is
this union? No, no, no, not the union guy, the
Soviet c CCP.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
You just see him walking out of there, shaking his head.
Nick Clive Volkov, Remember, I don't know what he said,
but he said something. He did walk out union Paul
Nesting Dials. That's what we're talking about.
Speaker 3 (46:26):
Okay, that's Khrushchev, Yanko, and Offska.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
Well stars of Track and Field. Truly are beautiful people.
Thank you for listening. Word number song coming up next
