Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yes, but it would have been sweet when they were

popular frosted flakes.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Those are good for you?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Oh yeah, well that's what they realize. These are so
good for you? How do we get them into more
children's bellies with a cartoon mascot?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Tim Kates wishes they were frosted with cocaine. They might
as well be, will be. It is time for the
top story of the day.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Top of it. Well, football story here from Indianapolis, p
Every team is in town. The combine is set to start.
The press conferences began today with the players interviews, the
coaches finished yesterday the general managers. So now we were
on to the young men who are looking to realize
their dreams. And I will say, of all the times
(02:46):
for this thing to make its way into public and
submitted for public consumption, what an opportunity for the NFLPA
to let it be known who's doing their job, who's
not doing their job, in great detail of why they
are not doing their job, and have each of these
players and their agents recognize what their fate will be
(03:09):
when their name is read off a card. What franchise
will you go to? Is it one that earned an
A grade? An A grade? Is it one that earned
an F grade. It is the annual nfl PA Player evaluation.
And this is certainly something that no one could have
possibly no possible way could have seen coming a decade ago.
(03:34):
Basically playing in two of the worst stadiums in the NFL,
tagged with having some of the lowest NET. I guess overall,
I don't know how would I say that you're, yes,
the lowest net worth ownerships in all of football, not
(03:54):
having the means that other teams in the league had.
The Chargers and Raiders were viewed as lower tier franchises.
Oh no, for all the fans that they had, for
all that history.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Attacks haven't they been to El Segunda, Matt.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That's what I thinks. So think about what the perception
was of the Raiders and the Oakland Alameda Coliseum and
the Chargers and Qualcomm Stadium down in San Diego. For
Mark Davis and even his dad out at the end there,
and for Dean Spanos, it was just simply hard for
them to keep up with the billionaires that were beginning
to populate NFL franchise ownership meetings today with the release
(04:38):
of the NFLPA report Card, and look, sometimes you got
to take these things with a grain of salt based
on sample size. But when you include practice squads, it's
a player pool of about twenty two point fifty and
they ended up getting close to seventeen hundred votes, So
you got an absolutely solid sample size. And who would
(04:58):
have thought when you're talking about top five franchises that
both the Chargers and Raiders would find themselves residing there.
The Chargers clock in at five, the Raiders at four,
and each of their owners, Dean Spanos and Mark Davis,
earn an A grade from their players.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I guess they're not eating out of a food truck
in Oakland anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
They're not hitting high school level donkey d pads on
a frying pan in San Diego anymore. The people want
to be in LA. People want to be in Las Vegas, right.
They probably want to be in Vegas more than they
want to be in LA just for tax purposes.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
But I would say there's a dramatic difference there. Mark
Davis A Dean Spanos A. Here's what they said about
Dean quote. Owner Dean Spanos's average rating for perceived willingness
to invest in facilities nine point six out of ten,
ranked fifth out of the thirty two owners. The players
feel that Spanos significantly contributes to a positive team culture,
(05:58):
ranking tenth out of the thirty two owners, And the
players feel that Spanos is extremely committed to building a
competitive team, ranking him tenth out of the thirty two owners.
The overview red the synopsis quote the Chargers open a
new state of the art training facility this offseason, propelling
them into the top five of the report Card rankings.
They improved in every single category, with six individual areas
(06:19):
now ranking in the NFL's top five and no category
scored below a C this year. Last year, they had
six as for the rate. Owner Mark Davis's average rating
for perceived willingness to invest in facilities nine point four
to six out of ten, that is sixth out of
the thirty two owners. They feel Davis significantly contributes to
(06:40):
a positive team culture a rank of ninth, and the
players feel that Davis is extremely committed to building a
competitive team A ranked thirteenth out of thirty two. In
their overview, Raiders finished fourth and this year's report Card
with their state of the art facility ranking among the
NFL's best. Players very complimentary of owner Mark Davis believe
the best thing the organization does is make them feel
(07:03):
like they are part of the Raider family.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Is there any trudge of the rumor, Matt, any truth
to the rumor that a little overserved? Last night you
serenaded Dean Spanos with started from the bottom. Now I'm here,
started from the bottom. Now the whole team's here last night,
so at dinner.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Part of that is true. I was overserved, But that's
the only part that's true. Everything else the bottom here.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
The bottot there. God, I love the facility.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
How about this curveball Chargers fifth, Raiders fourth, one of
the richest owners in the league, the man who spent
six billion dollars of his own money on Sofi Stadium,
the Rams twenty first four c's and a D. They
got a D. Yeah, and family treatment.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
That's a Kelly Stafford.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
You know, that's just Kelly. That is Kelly getting out
the vote.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
She's well, she is a curb in herself. It's like
being in a class with like twenty Asian guys. You're
in true screwed, you know what I'm saying, Like, if
she's there, it's gonna bring down the overall vibe at
least two three grades his He has a bit of
a shock I gets their new facility built or.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
It is, And I think that's probably a big part
of it. Kronki's rating perceived willingness to invest in the
facility seven out of ten. He's twenty fifth out of
the thirty two owners. They feel that he only moderately
contributes to a positive team culture nineteenth out of thirty two.
He's kind of weirdo too, So Kronki committed to building
a competitive team, ranked just nineteenth out of thirty two.
(08:41):
But I think that's the thing that people forget, Like, yeah,
a lot of it depends on your circumstances and the
fact that the Chargers got this sweetheart deal to be
here in LA and they could sink all of this
money into that incredible facility that's already it's considered one
of the best in the league. That's why the players
are happy BECAU. That's where they spend their most time
(09:02):
and the place is awesome. The Steelers, you think about
the Steelers twenty eighth, the Jets twenty ninth, the Browns thirtieth.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Well, the Jets are in New Jersey, the Jets Jersey.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I love this.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
The Jets ownership mean mug of Tomlin that'll lose you
a greater or two. For the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
The Jets got an F minus an ownership. I love
when someone's willing to give you an F minus. Just
give you an F I.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Want to give.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
The Cardinals were dead ass last and the Patriots were thirtieth.
Robert Kraft trying like hell to push for his induction
into the NFL Hall of Fame, and they finished thirtieth.
This is hilarious. I'm going to read this to you.
Here's what they say. Here's what they say. They got
(09:54):
an f and team travel. Now, remember the Patriots have
their own plane, and that was supposed to be like
a big deal.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
If he would send it around for people to help you.
He's send it around with the hurricane and stuff the
players fuel their teams. He flew the exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Here's what it says. Thirty nine percent of Patriots players
report having a comfortable amount of personal space on team flights.
They rank thirty one out of thirty two in team travel.
Their team's schedule is not efficient, ranked thirtyeth out of
thirty two. And here's quote. Players won an upgraded team plane.
The current plane is too small, there is no Wi Fi,
(10:30):
and their seats currently have ash trays in the arm rests.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
What's wrong with that? They might they might want to
smoke Lucas Hookah. Quote.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Our plane is the worst size space safety, It is
not conducive for our preparedness for athletic performance. Ash trays
in the armresh this is one of my favorite ones.
Like I said, the Cardinals are thirty two out of
thirty two, and the treatment of families they ranked twenty
(11:05):
nine out of thirty two. Players believe that the team
allows greater access to coaches than they do themselves. That's
one of them that came up with the hold on.
I want to make sure I got this right. That
came up with the Cleveland Browns. This is what there
we go, here's the Cleveland Browns. The players believe that
(11:26):
coaches families are treated better than player families. The coaches
families have a postgame meet up inside the stadium. The
player families have to meet in the parking lot. Oh, Lottie,
they so congratulations. Congratulations to the Raiders. Congratulations to the Chargers.
The players like you. That ends up going a long
(11:47):
way in free agency when you're trying to be competitive.
The Raiders have one hundred million dollars to spend. The
Chargers have seventy million dollars to spend. They have needs
that I'm sure they would like to fill in the
open market, and they will be competing with other teams.
This certainly will go a long way for each of
them to try and you know, and acquire the players
that they have their eyes on.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
However long it's gonna go, Matt, it's not gonna go
longer than Dan Woiki because he was on twice.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
On the station, twice inside of an hour.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Well that's great news for Spanos and and Davis. They
started from the bottom. Now they're here.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Started at the bottom.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Now the tall team's here. I guess Drake's not as
cool as he used to be. You know, all these
battle raps, you know, you got to know which side
to be on. The new Bad Baby versus Alabama Barker
is a very big to do. Right now.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
How did I miss that?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I think combine, you know, eating shrimp cocktails, singing to
the owner.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Being overserved.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
We'll be yeah, I have another one. Bring me another
of those old fashions, would you?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
That's basically you want another Elmo Cola? Well I just
got this beer, but sure, why the hell not? Let's good.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
We'll be right back where David Basse, who is live
from camel Back Ranch. We'll do your dad and alive,
and then yes, you will embark on a harbor cruise
with the clipper Ship on Lake Michigan versus.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
All right, it's time for David Masse.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Live from Spring Training, the home of the Project, off
with an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the
Vasse Report with David Vasse.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
There's only one David Vasse and he's awaiting our questions.
He's in the desert amongst the cacti. He was there
to see Otani swing the bat. Today, David Vasse knows
it all with the Dodgers embedded in Glendale, Arizona at
Camelback Ranch. He as our Dodger reporter. You see him
(14:25):
on the MLB Network, you see him on the Spectrum
Sports Net. But he's our guy, our number one guy
on AMPI seventy LA Sports on the Southern California Toyota
Dealer Celebrity Hotline, it is polygamist David Vasse.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Hello, Dave, Hello, guys.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Now, I know there's not a ton going on today,
because if there was, Rogan and Rodney would have put
you on for twenty minutes after they doubled up Dan Woiki.
But you mentioned Yamamoto having more of a swagger of
out him ever since his playoff success with the Dodgers,
especially compared to Sasaki. Maybe that's not a fair comparison,
(15:08):
who seems to be struggling. But what have you noticed
about Yamamoto he pitched today.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Yeah, it wasn't a great outing for Yamamoto, but I
feel like after having success last year, and especially success
at the most crucial time in the World Series, outings
like today are not going to face him. It's not
going to make him second guess whether or not he
belongs after what he did last year and before today's game,
(15:35):
I asked Dave Roberts whether or not he's noticed a
greater confidence and swagger about Yamamoto, and he echoed everything
that I mentioned yesterday, and he just looks back at
what he did in October. And I also, you know,
I think we all forget that Yamamoto is two and
a half months with a shoulder injury. After his best
(15:55):
game of the regular season at Yankee Stadium, there was
specation that he threw too many sliders and that's what
injured his shoulder. But Dave Roberts told me today the
way they're treating Yamamoto and spring training and the way
they will treat him during the regular season will be
quote responsible but not careful. So it feels like it's
(16:18):
a full go for Yamamoto and maybe whatever ailed him
for two and a half months is behind him.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
How big of a deal is it that we now
know that Otani is going to show up on Friday
to swing the bat against the Angels.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Well, I'm more excited about it than you are. Come on, Angels,
Dodgers under the lights, come on. That is big time
and not coincidental. Otani has a plan that Dodgers have
a plan. They backdate those plans, so I'm sure they
circled Friday night in Tempe to get him ready to
make his debut. So it was quite a sight, by
(16:55):
the way, guys today, Otani back out on the backfields,
the minor league fields where fans come from, that dirt
parking lot beyond way beyond center field at Campbell Back Ranch,
and it's a public viewing area of fields at the
minor league fields, and there was such a big crowd
there of not only Japanese media, but fans had stumbled
(17:16):
upon Otani taking live batting practice against minor league pitchers.
So that was quite a scene, and quite a scene
when Otani wanted to do some more running agility drills
on a different field, so he had to cross over
those fans and they were trying to chase him down.
They had security out there, they tried to keep them away,
so it was it was a bedlam. As Gorilla Monsoon
(17:40):
might say back there.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Wow, I didn't know the Sooners the Popes were involved.
David Vasse is our guest out there at Campbel Back
Ranch chasing around shoe a Otani like Pepe leapw and
that cat very exciting times. Do you have an update
on Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Dave, Yeah, Freddy is going to play tomorrow and we
have the game on Dodgers Radio Salt River Field.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Yeah, I know that play.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Is going to DH. He is going to DH tomorrow
against the Rockies. I would expect Kyle Carros to be
in the lineup at some point for the Rockies tomorrow.
His dad, Eric is in camp with the Dodgers, so
he'll be there, and he's in big league camp.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
With the Rockies.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
And also Will Smith. Guys, I know he's a nondescript
guy as far as just his public persona, but he's
an important part of the Dodgers and still hasn't played
in a game. He's going to start behind the plate
on Friday night in Tempe as well, So that's good news.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Well, the good news is that comment there, the latter
one is going to earn you a rebuke from Klyle,
and That's what I'm all about, Dave, Is it still
I saw this come across the High Speed Sports Wire,
the ap able to obtain the Dodger deferred payment plan.
I don't know if this kind of story made it
(19:05):
out there, or if you even think it's still a
story that from twenty twenty eight to forty six. They
are going to play. They're going to pay over a
billion dollars in deferred payments, the high point coming in
twenty thirty eight and thirty nine, one hundred and one
million dollars in deferred payments. Is this still a topic
of conversation or did Manfred kind of shut it down
when he gave the stamp of approval to the Dodgers
(19:25):
during the meetings.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Yeah, I think it's dying down a little bit. The
Padres did something even more similar because they're in some
legal issues with the battle of who owns the team
now with the passing of Peter Seidler. When they paid
Nick Pavetta, they're only paying him four million of his
fifty five million this year. But just to make it clear, Matt,
(19:48):
I think everybody when they talk about those deferrals and
the numbers that you just threw out, it's a little
deceiving because Major League Baseball has rules in place where
the Dodgers have to play those dollars into some sort
of escro account the same year that those players are playing.
(20:08):
So whatever they owe Otani, they have to set that aside.
It's not like in twenty forty. Whoever owns the team,
all of a sudden, it's going to get this surprise
bill from all these players. No being put aside right now.
They're just not going to get it until then. It's
kind of trying to circumvent and manage the luxury tax threshold.
(20:30):
That's what the point is. It's not about not paying
these guys right now. And Otani's number is what makes
it so large because he deferred so much of his contract.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
The one and only David Vasse is our guest. You know,
one of the biggest stories, like you said, we forget
about these things, forgot about Yamamoto coming back from surgery
and having that start at Yankee Stadium. One of the
biggest stories from the postseason, especially the World Series, was
a Dodger bullpen and a lot of those guys kind
(21:01):
of creating an identity for themselves and around themselves, the
dog Pound or whatever, the bulldogs.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
What was it, the dogs? Just the dogs?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Yeah, just the dogs. What is going on with those guys?
Are they still identify a fiable as dogs like Kelly Staff?
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Yeah, I mean they've been They've incorporated two new dogs,
Kirby Yates and Tanner Scott who Tanner Scott did not
look great today, But I mean, closers and non safe
situations just don't get it going. We saw that with
ken Lee for so many years. But Petros, it's a
question I've been asking around camp all spring, individually, collectively,
(21:42):
how are these guys feeling? How are they bouncing back
after pitching deeper into a season than they all have
done before, being pushed to the limits like we've never
seen a bullpen push to the limits before, and then
being asked to come back sooner than any other team
to get ready for Japan Tokyo. So you know, individually,
(22:05):
some guys are bouncing back quicker than others. I know
Anthony Banda told me today that you know it takes
you know, a little bit longer. There's a residual effect.
I know Alex Vesia made a concerted effort to really
get stronger in the lower half to try to compensate
for whatever was ailing him last year. And then you
(22:26):
have two guys that are not going to start the
season on the opening day roster, two of the highest
leverage guys in Evan Phillips and Michael Kopek. So the
residual effect of last year's October run and going to
so many bullpen games and having those guys pitch so
many high leverage innings are being felt even this year.
(22:47):
You can't discount that last.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
One for me, Dave. Today's I guess take on a teenager.
Jossua de Paula got a big hit earlier in the
game against the Brewers today. Is he like one of
their top I think I saw in Baseball America whoever
does the rankings, He's like one of their top three
four guys? Right? But damn is he young?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Yeah, And I'm not sure if I mentioned this to
you before. His cousin is Stefan Marberry. Oh, his dad
is Dominican, but he was born and raised in Brooklyn,
and Marbury is one of his relatives. But he's a
big kid. The Dodgers are very high on his offensive skills,
(23:31):
still trying to find a defensive position for him. But
he's being pushed by Zayir Hope, who has a locker
right next to him. Those two guys are pushing each
other to Paula kind of reminds me of Diego Kartaya, right,
got so many accolades without even playing one major league game,
and hopefully that's that's not a trap he's going to
(23:54):
fall into.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
David Masse, we'll talk to him again tomorrow. There's nobody
that is on it like Dave and I hear. It's
laundry day at the hotel in Arizona. I'm sure you
trying to.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Get to the finish line. I couldn't do it. Two
dollars for the dryer, two dollars for the.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Washer, well, and probably a dollar for the soap. I'm
sure a dollar for the I'm.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Sure how Tony's waiting right behind you in his laundry basket.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Yeah right, hey money. This will throwback to the Jersey Shore.
Today was a gym tanned laundry day for your guy
out here.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
GTL. Congratulations you in the situation.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I'm sure did you turn outside or did you go
to a tanning move?
Speaker 4 (24:37):
I tanned outside, walk in the fields all the way back.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
There, GTL. David Basse a hero to the people. We'll
talk to him tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Beat pound to beat pound the beat.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Next Dger spring training game is tomorrow versus the Rockies.
Dave will have pregame at eleven thirty. First pitch of
twelve o five on AM five seventy at Salt River Fields. Right, no,
oh yeah, memories. We'll be right back with more pegs
and money. We got your dead and a live guy.
Birthday of the Day, head of your way next and

(25:37):
Live from Indianapolis. Here's Matt with the Dead Guy. Birthday
of the Day, Well what a day it is. Be
happy John Harvey Kellogg Day. Everyone would have been one
hundred and seventy three today. If you didn't know, well,
find it to be our duty to share with you.
Talk about an American businessman, an inventor, a licensed physician, and,
(26:01):
most importantly for those of a certain age, a man
that changed breakfast forever. He was a Seventh Day Adventist,
the director of the Battle Creek Center. He plains a
lot you know.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Yes, but really what we celebrate John Harvey Kellogg for
is the creation of the flaked cereal industry. Yes, as
you know John Harvey Kellogg, the K as in the
Great Kellogg's with two g's, an apostrophe and an s.
It was eighteen seventy seven when he began experimenting to
produce a softer breakfast food, something easy to chew. Came
(26:31):
up with a dough that was a mixture of wheed
oats and corn baked at high temperatures for a long
period of time to break down starch molecules in the grain.
After it cooled, he would break the bread into crumbs
and it was originally marketed under the name Grianula. So
what happens Granola? People love it. He forms the Sinitas
Food Company to develop market food products, sell it to
(26:53):
the public, and then bang Flake Cereal. Eighteen ninety four.
It was an accident. His wife called him up the house.
You know. It was all connected the sanitarium. He lived
there and he worked there. So he left a bunch
of wheat berry dough out the night before, and instead
of throwing it out, he decided to send it through
the rollers. Found that he was able to make delicate flakes.
(27:13):
They could be baked, and that was the fundamental technique
of the flake cereal industry. A patient, i should say,
a patent for his flaked cereals was filed in eighteen
ninety five an issued in April of ninety six. In
their first year of production, they sold tens of thousands
of pounds of flaked cereal. They called it grenades, biscuits,
grenades flakes. But you know what happens that same year,
(27:37):
gentleman by the name of CW. Post has those stomach issues.
He was a patient, a patient a time of need.
It was a patient helped me. He was a patient
who took the patent. Can you help me? John Harvey?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Eat this? What is this pressed flakes? Oh?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
My god? I feel so much better, But.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I must leave and get back to my work. Will
you give me the recipe? As brother Will says, don't
you give him the recipe? John? He does, He says,
it's my job, hippocratic oath. I'm want to take care
of this man. Give him the recipe. The thief, the
liar CW. Post immediately comes out with freaking grape nuts
and post toasties. Horsecrap. He even builds his freaking place
(28:17):
in Battle Creek post. He did him dirty, right, he
did him dirty. He stole it and that's why we
have post versus Kellogg's today. He was inducted into the
National Inventor's Hall of Fame in O six for the
discovery of tempering and the invention of the first dry
flaked breakfast cereal.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Well, he would be too happy with a live guy birt.
God bless John Harvey Kellogg and the serial empire that
he created. What was once a story simply about cereal
and business practice that Matt could really enjoy, has now
become an indictment on a nineteenth century character, exactly right
or early twentieth right, he was friends with Johnny Weissmuller
(28:59):
Tarzan celebrated on the show. And we've heard very little
from James Outen in this spring. I haven't heard anything.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I'm just heard he's doing better than Hasan Kim.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Yeah, he's a bit of a service, all right. Matt
Well beating out the rapper Yeat is one of the
Marley's forty nine years old today. That makes a Jamaican news.
It's Jamaica news. Sam rox Don by my count, he
is one of six Bob Marley Bastards. Okay, there are
(29:32):
eleven kids in all six bastards, but one kid came
out of Rita. Marley fathered by like a local soccer guy,
and Bob adopted her. So I don't know what we'd anyway.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Yeah, an adopted bastard that wasn't his, like he did
not discriminate against bastards his orga.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Now he's cheating on his wife. He constant, there's that. Yeah.
Kaimani Marley is a musician, plays bongos, piano, trumpet, and say,
if I said key money, that's wrong. It's Kai Moni.
His mom is a lady named Anita Bell Navis who
was a Jamaican table tennis star and champion, and she'd
(30:11):
played the ping pok so hard that it aroused Bob Marley,
who was a notorious womanized and well, Kai Monti Marley
is the product of their love. He grew up in Miami,
mostly playing American football like his older brother Rohan Marley,
and soccer and trumpet in the high school band. His
(30:34):
career started in the nineties. He did a song with
Patra Do you remember Patra?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Matt I think so.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Yeah, Yeah, she did a pull up to my bumper cover.
It was quite popular. He did a lot of covers too.
There was a record company bidding war for him in
the nineties between G Street and V two Records. In
two thousand and one, his album, which was called Many
More Roads, was nominated for a Reggae Grammy, which we
on this show note means very little. He's been in
(31:02):
like four movies. An iconic but terrible movie called Shatas
with Spraga Bands, another movie called King of the Dance
Hall that came out on YouTube, Bread made by Nick Cannon,
starring Whoope Goldberg and Busta Rhymes Right and assorted others.
(31:22):
Kai Manti Marley one of Bob's bastard. I hope you
have a great night listening to the Clippers, who are
really Los Angeles's bastard.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I think that's a app description.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
You know, you want to get excited about him.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Well, maybe it starts tonight. Maybe Adam Oslin coming up
next with that pregame followed by a compelling contest and
then a hell of a post game.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
I've gotten excited about him in the past, and it
leaves you wide open to just the putdowns. It ends, yeah,
from the public. I mean, it's Fday's heart. They did
make it once in the Western Conference finals, and that
was a great moment.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
The hell of a run. And they really laid it
down in the bubble too, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
They laid down a bit turred in the book. All right, Well,
we'll see what they do tonight. The piles, they are
well mad. It's kind of white. Properly stop. That's why
they're on a losing street.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
I mean, I can't imagine the Newton the Canoe sun
Bowl in al Paso on side.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yes, but it would have been sweet when they were
picking a mascot for it's just launched and now incredibly
popular frosted flakes.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Those are good for you?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Oh yeah, well that's what they realize. These are so
good for you? How do we get them into more
children's bellies with a cartoon mascot?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Tim Kates wishes they were frosted with cocaine. They might
as well be, will be. It is time for the
top story of the day.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Top of it. Well, football story here from Indianapolis, p
Every team is in town. The combine is set to start.
The press conferences began today with the players interviews, the
coaches finished yesterday the general managers. So now we were
on to the young men who are looking to realize
their dreams. And I will say, of all the times
(02:46):
for this thing to make its way into public and
submitted for public consumption, what an opportunity for the NFLPA
to let it be known who's doing their job, who's
not doing their job, in great detail of why they
are not doing their job, and have each of these
players and their agents recognize what their fate will be
(03:09):
when their name is read off a card. What franchise
will you go to? Is it one that earned an
A grade? An A grade? Is it one that earned
an F grade. It is the annual nfl PA Player evaluation.
And this is certainly something that no one could have
possibly no possible way could have seen coming a decade ago.
(03:34):
Basically playing in two of the worst stadiums in the NFL,
tagged with having some of the lowest NET. I guess overall,
I don't know how would I say that you're, yes,
the lowest net worth ownerships in all of football, not
(03:54):
having the means that other teams in the league had.
The Chargers and Raiders were viewed as lower tier franchises.
Oh no, for all the fans that they had, for
all that history.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Attacks haven't they been to El Segunda, Matt.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That's what I thinks. So think about what the perception
was of the Raiders and the Oakland Alameda Coliseum and
the Chargers and Qualcomm Stadium down in San Diego. For
Mark Davis and even his dad out at the end there,
and for Dean Spanos, it was just simply hard for
them to keep up with the billionaires that were beginning
to populate NFL franchise ownership meetings today with the release
(04:38):
of the NFLPA report Card, and look, sometimes you got
to take these things with a grain of salt based
on sample size. But when you include practice squads, it's
a player pool of about twenty two point fifty and
they ended up getting close to seventeen hundred votes, So
you got an absolutely solid sample size. And who would
(04:58):
have thought when you're talking about top five franchises that
both the Chargers and Raiders would find themselves residing there.
The Chargers clock in at five, the Raiders at four,
and each of their owners, Dean Spanos and Mark Davis,
earn an A grade from their players.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I guess they're not eating out of a food truck
in Oakland anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
They're not hitting high school level donkey d pads on
a frying pan in San Diego anymore. The people want
to be in LA. People want to be in Las Vegas, right.
They probably want to be in Vegas more than they
want to be in LA just for tax purposes.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
But I would say there's a dramatic difference there. Mark
Davis A Dean Spanos A. Here's what they said about
Dean quote. Owner Dean Spanos's average rating for perceived willingness
to invest in facilities nine point six out of ten,
ranked fifth out of the thirty two owners. The players
feel that Spanos significantly contributes to a positive team culture,
(05:58):
ranking tenth out of the thirty two owners, And the
players feel that Spanos is extremely committed to building a
competitive team, ranking him tenth out of the thirty two owners.
The overview red the synopsis quote the Chargers open a
new state of the art training facility this offseason, propelling
them into the top five of the report Card rankings.
They improved in every single category, with six individual areas
(06:19):
now ranking in the NFL's top five and no category
scored below a C this year. Last year, they had
six as for the rate. Owner Mark Davis's average rating
for perceived willingness to invest in facilities nine point four
to six out of ten, that is sixth out of
the thirty two owners. They feel Davis significantly contributes to
(06:40):
a positive team culture a rank of ninth, and the
players feel that Davis is extremely committed to building a
competitive team A ranked thirteenth out of thirty two. In
their overview, Raiders finished fourth and this year's report Card
with their state of the art facility ranking among the
NFL's best. Players very complimentary of owner Mark Davis believe
the best thing the organization does is make them feel
(07:03):
like they are part of the Raider family.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Is there any trudge of the rumor, Matt, any truth
to the rumor that a little overserved? Last night you
serenaded Dean Spanos with started from the bottom. Now I'm here,
started from the bottom. Now the whole team's here last night,
so at dinner.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Part of that is true. I was overserved, But that's
the only part that's true. Everything else the bottom here.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
The bottot there. God, I love the facility.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
How about this curveball Chargers fifth, Raiders fourth, one of
the richest owners in the league, the man who spent
six billion dollars of his own money on Sofi Stadium,
the Rams twenty first four c's and a D. They
got a D. Yeah, and family treatment.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
That's a Kelly Stafford.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
You know, that's just Kelly. That is Kelly getting out
the vote.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
She's well, she is a curb in herself. It's like
being in a class with like twenty Asian guys. You're
in true screwed, you know what I'm saying, Like, if
she's there, it's gonna bring down the overall vibe at
least two three grades his He has a bit of
a shock I gets their new facility built or.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
It is, And I think that's probably a big part
of it. Kronki's rating perceived willingness to invest in the
facility seven out of ten. He's twenty fifth out of
the thirty two owners. They feel that he only moderately
contributes to a positive team culture nineteenth out of thirty two.
He's kind of weirdo too, So Kronki committed to building
a competitive team, ranked just nineteenth out of thirty two.
(08:41):
But I think that's the thing that people forget, Like, yeah,
a lot of it depends on your circumstances and the
fact that the Chargers got this sweetheart deal to be
here in LA and they could sink all of this
money into that incredible facility that's already it's considered one
of the best in the league. That's why the players
are happy BECAU. That's where they spend their most time
(09:02):
and the place is awesome. The Steelers, you think about
the Steelers twenty eighth, the Jets twenty ninth, the Browns thirtieth.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Well, the Jets are in New Jersey, the Jets Jersey.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I love this.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
The Jets ownership mean mug of Tomlin that'll lose you
a greater or two. For the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
The Jets got an F minus an ownership. I love
when someone's willing to give you an F minus. Just
give you an F I.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Want to give.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
The Cardinals were dead ass last and the Patriots were thirtieth.
Robert Kraft trying like hell to push for his induction
into the NFL Hall of Fame, and they finished thirtieth.
This is hilarious. I'm going to read this to you.
Here's what they say. Here's what they say. They got
(09:54):
an f and team travel. Now, remember the Patriots have
their own plane, and that was supposed to be like
a big deal.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
If he would send it around for people to help you.
He's send it around with the hurricane and stuff the
players fuel their teams. He flew the exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Here's what it says. Thirty nine percent of Patriots players
report having a comfortable amount of personal space on team flights.
They rank thirty one out of thirty two in team travel.
Their team's schedule is not efficient, ranked thirtyeth out of
thirty two. And here's quote. Players won an upgraded team plane.
The current plane is too small, there is no Wi Fi,
(10:30):
and their seats currently have ash trays in the arm rests.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
What's wrong with that? They might they might want to
smoke Lucas Hookah. Quote.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Our plane is the worst size space safety, It is
not conducive for our preparedness for athletic performance. Ash trays
in the armresh this is one of my favorite ones.
Like I said, the Cardinals are thirty two out of
thirty two, and the treatment of families they ranked twenty
(11:05):
nine out of thirty two. Players believe that the team
allows greater access to coaches than they do themselves. That's
one of them that came up with the hold on.
I want to make sure I got this right. That
came up with the Cleveland Browns. This is what there
we go, here's the Cleveland Browns. The players believe that
(11:26):
coaches families are treated better than player families. The coaches
families have a postgame meet up inside the stadium. The
player families have to meet in the parking lot. Oh, Lottie,
they so congratulations. Congratulations to the Raiders. Congratulations to the Chargers.
The players like you. That ends up going a long
(11:47):
way in free agency when you're trying to be competitive.
The Raiders have one hundred million dollars to spend. The
Chargers have seventy million dollars to spend. They have needs
that I'm sure they would like to fill in the
open market, and they will be competing with other teams.
This certainly will go a long way for each of
them to try and you know, and acquire the players
that they have their eyes on.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
However long it's gonna go, Matt, it's not gonna go
longer than Dan Woiki because he was on twice.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
On the station, twice inside of an hour.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Well that's great news for Spanos and and Davis. They
started from the bottom. Now they're here.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Started at the bottom.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Now the tall team's here. I guess Drake's not as
cool as he used to be. You know, all these
battle raps, you know, you got to know which side
to be on. The new Bad Baby versus Alabama Barker
is a very big to do. Right now.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
How did I miss that?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I think combine, you know, eating shrimp cocktails, singing to
the owner.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Being overserved.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
We'll be yeah, I have another one. Bring me another
of those old fashions, would you?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
That's basically you want another Elmo Cola? Well I just
got this beer, but sure, why the hell not? Let's good.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
We'll be right back where David Basse, who is live
from camel Back Ranch. We'll do your dad and alive,
and then yes, you will embark on a harbor cruise
with the clipper Ship on Lake Michigan versus.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
All right, it's time for David Masse.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Live from Spring Training, the home of the Project, off
with an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the
Vasse Report with David Vasse.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
There's only one David Vasse and he's awaiting our questions.
He's in the desert amongst the cacti. He was there
to see Otani swing the bat. Today, David Vasse knows
it all with the Dodgers embedded in Glendale, Arizona at
Camelback Ranch. He as our Dodger reporter. You see him
(14:25):
on the MLB Network, you see him on the Spectrum
Sports Net. But he's our guy, our number one guy
on AMPI seventy LA Sports on the Southern California Toyota
Dealer Celebrity Hotline, it is polygamist David Vasse.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Hello, Dave, Hello, guys.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Now, I know there's not a ton going on today,
because if there was, Rogan and Rodney would have put
you on for twenty minutes after they doubled up Dan Woiki.
But you mentioned Yamamoto having more of a swagger of
out him ever since his playoff success with the Dodgers,
especially compared to Sasaki. Maybe that's not a fair comparison,
(15:08):
who seems to be struggling. But what have you noticed
about Yamamoto he pitched today.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Yeah, it wasn't a great outing for Yamamoto, but I
feel like after having success last year, and especially success
at the most crucial time in the World Series, outings
like today are not going to face him. It's not
going to make him second guess whether or not he
belongs after what he did last year and before today's game,
(15:35):
I asked Dave Roberts whether or not he's noticed a
greater confidence and swagger about Yamamoto, and he echoed everything
that I mentioned yesterday, and he just looks back at
what he did in October. And I also, you know,
I think we all forget that Yamamoto is two and
a half months with a shoulder injury. After his best
(15:55):
game of the regular season at Yankee Stadium, there was
specation that he threw too many sliders and that's what
injured his shoulder. But Dave Roberts told me today the
way they're treating Yamamoto and spring training and the way
they will treat him during the regular season will be
quote responsible but not careful. So it feels like it's
(16:18):
a full go for Yamamoto and maybe whatever ailed him
for two and a half months is behind him.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
How big of a deal is it that we now
know that Otani is going to show up on Friday
to swing the bat against the Angels.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Well, I'm more excited about it than you are. Come on, Angels,
Dodgers under the lights, come on. That is big time
and not coincidental. Otani has a plan that Dodgers have
a plan. They backdate those plans, so I'm sure they
circled Friday night in Tempe to get him ready to
make his debut. So it was quite a sight, by
(16:55):
the way, guys today, Otani back out on the backfields,
the minor league fields where fans come from, that dirt
parking lot beyond way beyond center field at Campbell Back Ranch,
and it's a public viewing area of fields at the
minor league fields, and there was such a big crowd
there of not only Japanese media, but fans had stumbled
(17:16):
upon Otani taking live batting practice against minor league pitchers.
So that was quite a scene, and quite a scene
when Otani wanted to do some more running agility drills
on a different field, so he had to cross over
those fans and they were trying to chase him down.
They had security out there, they tried to keep them away,
so it was it was a bedlam. As Gorilla Monsoon
(17:40):
might say back there.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Wow, I didn't know the Sooners the Popes were involved.
David Vasse is our guest out there at Campbel Back
Ranch chasing around shoe a Otani like Pepe leapw and
that cat very exciting times. Do you have an update
on Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Dave, Yeah, Freddy is going to play tomorrow and we
have the game on Dodgers Radio Salt River Field.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Yeah, I know that play.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Is going to DH. He is going to DH tomorrow
against the Rockies. I would expect Kyle Carros to be
in the lineup at some point for the Rockies tomorrow.
His dad, Eric is in camp with the Dodgers, so
he'll be there, and he's in big league camp.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
With the Rockies.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
And also Will Smith. Guys, I know he's a nondescript
guy as far as just his public persona, but he's
an important part of the Dodgers and still hasn't played
in a game. He's going to start behind the plate
on Friday night in Tempe as well, So that's good news.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Well, the good news is that comment there, the latter
one is going to earn you a rebuke from Klyle,
and That's what I'm all about, Dave, Is it still
I saw this come across the High Speed Sports Wire,
the ap able to obtain the Dodger deferred payment plan.
I don't know if this kind of story made it
(19:05):
out there, or if you even think it's still a
story that from twenty twenty eight to forty six. They
are going to play. They're going to pay over a
billion dollars in deferred payments, the high point coming in
twenty thirty eight and thirty nine, one hundred and one
million dollars in deferred payments. Is this still a topic
of conversation or did Manfred kind of shut it down
when he gave the stamp of approval to the Dodgers
(19:25):
during the meetings.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Yeah, I think it's dying down a little bit. The
Padres did something even more similar because they're in some
legal issues with the battle of who owns the team
now with the passing of Peter Seidler. When they paid
Nick Pavetta, they're only paying him four million of his
fifty five million this year. But just to make it clear, Matt,
(19:48):
I think everybody when they talk about those deferrals and
the numbers that you just threw out, it's a little
deceiving because Major League Baseball has rules in place where
the Dodgers have to play those dollars into some sort
of escro account the same year that those players are playing.
(20:08):
So whatever they owe Otani, they have to set that aside.
It's not like in twenty forty. Whoever owns the team,
all of a sudden, it's going to get this surprise
bill from all these players. No being put aside right now.
They're just not going to get it until then. It's
kind of trying to circumvent and manage the luxury tax threshold.
(20:30):
That's what the point is. It's not about not paying
these guys right now. And Otani's number is what makes
it so large because he deferred so much of his contract.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
The one and only David Vasse is our guest. You know,
one of the biggest stories, like you said, we forget
about these things, forgot about Yamamoto coming back from surgery
and having that start at Yankee Stadium. One of the
biggest stories from the postseason, especially the World Series, was
a Dodger bullpen and a lot of those guys kind
(21:01):
of creating an identity for themselves and around themselves, the
dog Pound or whatever, the bulldogs.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
What was it, the dogs? Just the dogs?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Yeah, just the dogs. What is going on with those guys?
Are they still identify a fiable as dogs like Kelly Staff?
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Yeah, I mean they've been They've incorporated two new dogs,
Kirby Yates and Tanner Scott who Tanner Scott did not
look great today, But I mean, closers and non safe
situations just don't get it going. We saw that with
ken Lee for so many years. But Petros, it's a
question I've been asking around camp all spring, individually, collectively,
(21:42):
how are these guys feeling? How are they bouncing back
after pitching deeper into a season than they all have
done before, being pushed to the limits like we've never
seen a bullpen push to the limits before, and then
being asked to come back sooner than any other team
to get ready for Japan Tokyo. So you know, individually,
(22:05):
some guys are bouncing back quicker than others. I know
Anthony Banda told me today that you know it takes
you know, a little bit longer. There's a residual effect.
I know Alex Vesia made a concerted effort to really
get stronger in the lower half to try to compensate
for whatever was ailing him last year. And then you
(22:26):
have two guys that are not going to start the
season on the opening day roster, two of the highest
leverage guys in Evan Phillips and Michael Kopek. So the
residual effect of last year's October run and going to
so many bullpen games and having those guys pitch so
many high leverage innings are being felt even this year.
(22:47):
You can't discount that last.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
One for me, Dave. Today's I guess take on a teenager.
Jossua de Paula got a big hit earlier in the
game against the Brewers today. Is he like one of
their top I think I saw in Baseball America whoever
does the rankings, He's like one of their top three
four guys? Right? But damn is he young?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Yeah, And I'm not sure if I mentioned this to
you before. His cousin is Stefan Marberry. Oh, his dad
is Dominican, but he was born and raised in Brooklyn,
and Marbury is one of his relatives. But he's a
big kid. The Dodgers are very high on his offensive skills,
(23:31):
still trying to find a defensive position for him. But
he's being pushed by Zayir Hope, who has a locker
right next to him. Those two guys are pushing each
other to Paula kind of reminds me of Diego Kartaya, right,
got so many accolades without even playing one major league game,
and hopefully that's that's not a trap he's going to
(23:54):
fall into.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
David Masse, we'll talk to him again tomorrow. There's nobody
that is on it like Dave and I hear. It's
laundry day at the hotel in Arizona. I'm sure you
trying to.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Get to the finish line. I couldn't do it. Two
dollars for the dryer, two dollars for the.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Washer, well, and probably a dollar for the soap. I'm
sure a dollar for the I'm.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Sure how Tony's waiting right behind you in his laundry basket.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Yeah right, hey money. This will throwback to the Jersey Shore.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
GTL. Congratulations you in the situation.
Speaker 3 (24:33):

Speaker 4 (24:37):
I tanned outside, walk in the fields all the way back.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
There, GTL. David Basse a hero to the people. We'll

(25:37):
Live from Indianapolis. Here's Matt with the Dead Guy. Birthday
of the Day, Well what a day it is. Be
happy John Harvey Kellogg Day. Everyone would have been one
hundred and seventy three today. If you didn't know, well,
find it to be our duty to share with you.
Talk about an American businessman, an inventor, a licensed physician, and,
(26:01):
most importantly for those of a certain age, a man
that changed breakfast forever. He was a Seventh Day Adventist,
the director of the Battle Creek Center. He plains a
lot you know.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Yes, but really what we celebrate John Harvey Kellogg for
is the creation of the flaked cereal industry. Yes, as
you know John Harvey Kellogg, the K as in the
Great Kellogg's with two g's, an apostrophe and an s.
It was eighteen seventy seven when he began experimenting to
produce a softer breakfast food, something easy to chew. Came
(26:31):
up with a dough that was a mixture of wheed
oats and corn baked at high temperatures for a long
period of time to break down starch molecules in the grain.
After it cooled, he would break the bread into crumbs
and it was originally marketed under the name Grianula. So
what happens Granola? People love it. He forms the Sinitas
Food Company to develop market food products, sell it to
(26:53):
the public, and then bang Flake Cereal. Eighteen ninety four.
It was an accident. His wife called him up the house.
You know. It was all connected the sanitarium. He lived
there and he worked there. So he left a bunch
of wheat berry dough out the night before, and instead
of throwing it out, he decided to send it through
the rollers. Found that he was able to make delicate flakes.
(27:13):
They could be baked, and that was the fundamental technique
of the flake cereal industry. A patient, i should say,
a patent for his flaked cereals was filed in eighteen
ninety five an issued in April of ninety six. In
their first year of production, they sold tens of thousands
of pounds of flaked cereal. They called it grenades, biscuits,
grenades flakes. But you know what happens that same year,
(27:37):
gentleman by the name of CW. Post has those stomach issues.
He was a patient, a patient a time of need.
It was a patient helped me. He was a patient
who took the patent. Can you help me? John Harvey?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Eat this? What is this pressed flakes? Oh?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
My god? I feel so much better, But.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I must leave and get back to my work. Will
you give me the recipe? As brother Will says, don't
you give him the recipe? John? He does, He says,
it's my job, hippocratic oath. I'm want to take care
of this man. Give him the recipe. The thief, the
liar CW. Post immediately comes out with freaking grape nuts
and post toasties. Horsecrap. He even builds his freaking place
(28:17):
in Battle Creek post. He did him dirty, right, he
did him dirty. He stole it and that's why we
have post versus Kellogg's today. He was inducted into the
National Inventor's Hall of Fame in O six for the
discovery of tempering and the invention of the first dry
flaked breakfast cereal.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Well, he would be too happy with a live guy birt.
God bless John Harvey Kellogg and the serial empire that
he created. What was once a story simply about cereal
and business practice that Matt could really enjoy, has now
become an indictment on a nineteenth century character, exactly right
or early twentieth right, he was friends with Johnny Weissmuller
(28:59):
Tarzan celebrated on the show. And we've heard very little
from James Outen in this spring. I haven't heard anything.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I'm just heard he's doing better than Hasan Kim.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Yeah, he's a bit of a service, all right. Matt
Well beating out the rapper Yeat is one of the
Marley's forty nine years old today. That makes a Jamaican news.
It's Jamaica news. Sam rox Don by my count, he
is one of six Bob Marley Bastards. Okay, there are
(29:32):
eleven kids in all six bastards, but one kid came
out of Rita. Marley fathered by like a local soccer guy,
and Bob adopted her. So I don't know what we'd anyway.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Yeah, an adopted bastard that wasn't his, like he did
not discriminate against bastards his orga.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Now he's cheating on his wife. He constant, there's that. Yeah.
Kaimani Marley is a musician, plays bongos, piano, trumpet, and say,
if I said key money, that's wrong. It's Kai Moni.
His mom is a lady named Anita Bell Navis who
was a Jamaican table tennis star and champion, and she'd
(30:11):
played the ping pok so hard that it aroused Bob Marley,
who was a notorious womanized and well, Kai Monti Marley
is the product of their love. He grew up in Miami,
mostly playing American football like his older brother Rohan Marley,
and soccer and trumpet in the high school band. His
(30:34):
career started in the nineties. He did a song with
Patra Do you remember Patra?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Matt I think so.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Yeah, Yeah, she did a pull up to my bumper cover.
It was quite popular. He did a lot of covers too.
There was a record company bidding war for him in
the nineties between G Street and V two Records. In
two thousand and one, his album, which was called Many
More Roads, was nominated for a Reggae Grammy, which we
on this show note means very little. He's been in
(31:02):
like four movies. An iconic but terrible movie called Shatas
with Spraga Bands, another movie called King of the Dance
Hall that came out on YouTube, Bread made by Nick Cannon,
starring Whoope Goldberg and Busta Rhymes Right and assorted others.
(31:22):
Kai Manti Marley one of Bob's bastard. I hope you
have a great night listening to the Clippers, who are
really Los Angeles's bastard.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I think that's a app description.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
You know, you want to get excited about him.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Well, maybe it starts tonight. Maybe Adam Oslin coming up
next with that pregame followed by a compelling contest and
then a hell of a post game.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
I've gotten excited about him in the past, and it
leaves you wide open to just the putdowns. It ends, yeah,
from the public. I mean, it's Fday's heart. They did
make it once in the Western Conference finals, and that
was a great moment.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
The hell of a run. And they really laid it
down in the bubble too, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
They laid down a bit turred in the book. All right, Well,
we'll see what they do tonight. The piles, they are
well mad. It's kind of white. Properly stop. That's why
they're on a losing street.
