His words, the word of the day, you know.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
Mike, and they got rid of north Ridge football made
me feel like crap. And my guy, Mike Caane, they're
leading Russia in Northridge, Matador history frozen in the record books.
I don't like when they cancel our local football programs,
whatever division they're in. They tried to cancel the Whittier Poets, remember,
I think they canceled them, and then they came back

have on the rumor mill APU dot ed U in
(06:37):
direct competition with one of our great sponsors, Concordia University. Indeed,
there has been talk that like Ohio State just threw
all that money at chip Kelly to become their OC.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
And then the Raiders did it right. Six million dollars.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
That's money is being gathered. Both fund me are popping
up all over Laverne and ASUSA to hire coach broadcaster.
He's going to do all the jobs podcaster Quitmankay Tim
Kates and Director of Football Operations Leslie Kates. It's a
(07:17):
real family affair to go over from Concordia where they've
created so much success, seventy eight podcasts on the Concordia
Masters in Coaching.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Podcast, wildly successful.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
They might make a move, a big, huge power move
for Tim Kates, and we'll have to stay tuned for to.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Pick up the slack here, we'll have to do the
Master's in Coaching podcast, and it's going to piggyback the
Petros and Money podcast.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Joining us now the volleyball coach at Sonora High School,
Patricia Fuentes.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Patricia talk about the challenge, the challenge that just get better.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Well, Matt, I love the kids and I like to
teach volleyball. When they do, the libero comes out and
he did this set, and I say, spack it down.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
We're going to beat Roosevelt. Nobody's beating Roosevelt. Not till
this year. Matthew went and see what we can Dobody.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
So, anyway, did you think as a young girl growing
up in Total Santos, is.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
That in South America?
Speaker 6 (08:22):
No, I was young in Santa Victoria team. I dreamed
of a day that I could be a libero. I
am only five to two, and some say that I
cannot callt volleyball because I am so shocked.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I think we're a lock. Guess him out, go on,
Kate's the money. Here's a seismic shift, Yes, matt now
that they have a football program. Woll what's Concordia are
gonna do in twenty twenty six? I just continue to
dominate with that basketball program. Dominate. It's not for the
number of the day.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Here's my.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Twelve. I was inspired a pastner, Josh Passner, such great
college basketball march madness, bracket worthy conversation. Now he wouldn't
do it, but you tried to lead him. You tried
to lead that horse to drink the North Carolina thing
ugly getting into the tournament with one quad one win.
(09:18):
And we all know here on the Petros and Money
Show you post a one to twelve record in quad
one games, Shay, especially when that one quad one win
was against UCLA sort of humiliating. But that is not
why that was Why are you bringing up bold asses,
That is not why the number of the day is twelve.
This is why there is always the twelve five upset.
(09:41):
And yes, Passner gave us a different twelve seed McNeese
Coublers to be that twelve five upset. But because I
am now invested, because I spent an hour fifty to
two hours and fifteen minutes on my flight home watching
the UC San Diego U See Irvine Big West Championship game,
(10:06):
I am now invested, and I feel as though I
am expert on all things you see SD Tritons.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Oh okay, you're gonna go with us the old scripts
pier down there in La joya short.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Let me tell you now, I was also had my
eyes on those two seven footers that passed that Passner
was talking about Danny Wolf Vlad golden Wolf borderline lottery pick,
and that could play to their advantage. But perhaps Pastor
not paying close enough attention to the Big West, because
if he had known it. But as I heard on
(10:40):
the broadcast about head coach Eric Olin, who took this
team from D two to D one and has them
in the tournament their first year of eligibility four years later,
he looked at you see Irvine, and he said, I
can't do what they do and come with the worst product.
They get the bigs they're dominating with biggs. Russ Turner
is known as a great big and coch So what
(11:00):
do I do? I mean, I could Big West all day.
You want to be in the West, let's go. So
what West? Could be a desperate place? What does OLAND do?
He says, I'm gonna build it around turnovers, and I'm
gonna build it around six foot six to six foot
eight guys that pull these bigs out of the paint
and we're going to tire them out. That's how they're
doing it in La Joya. That's how they're doing it.
(11:21):
And they're creating turnovers at an NCAA best twenty three
point seven percent of possessions.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Not since the turn it over, not since the wind
and see surf rats gang down in La Joya? Has
so much tumult been caused with all these turnovers, Matt
and all the.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Disruption, It's exactly right. P three is more than two.
And when it comes to rebounding, they say it's Eric
Olan's nightmare match up zone and no middle D that
he presents to opponents that they can't handle. Who are
they planning? Michigan twelve five, twelve five get the extra possessions.
Just the second team in the Big West to ever
(11:56):
appear in the top fifty Ken Palm rankings misty six.
Pretty good, right, They're really good. They're ahead of Creighton, Oklahoma,
San Diego State, and Memphis, Utah State, Texas McNeice that
Josh mentioned ahead of them in the Ken Palm rankings.
And as always p we like to point out nobody
(12:17):
likes the kiwis like we do. We're very New Zealand
or and they got themselves a New Zealander a nie
one Niwa Taint Jones, not Taint Tate, a knee one
niewah Tate Jones, who is a top ten Player of
the Year candidate in the NCAA. The Tritons are our team.
(12:38):
Michigan is only favored by two and a half points.
The odds makers know, and they did not make it
a twelve to five like line, like Clemson is favored
by eight. McNeese coming to my mind, now, why is
Passner so stupid? What are you doing? What an idiot?
What are you? You did not pay attention with your
CSD like I did on a Southwest flight from in
(13:00):
You defeen it. You got a phone with us with
your little dime hole mouth, and.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
You didn't know about eric Olin and the Triton the
six to six disruption dominating the Big West All Tournament.
They hammered you see Irvine by fourteen in the championship game,
thirty two and five on the season.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I don't like seeing that. Here we go Triton's All
Day twelve five upset. You heard it here first? Here first,
I spent at least an hour forty five minutes watching it.
I bet all my money on it. Confine lost.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I had walked out onto the scripts pier loa shoors
and I killed myself.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
A niwa niwa pa Jones the tainter, it's what they
like to call him. Hey, he taintd an easy guard
down there. That's all right to of the morning til
you taint the postgame interview. Oh yeah yeah, great group
of awes and dated to gains and now he had
a share of that. Tin't worried about it, Runny. This
(14:01):
is the song of the day.
Speaker 8 (14:05):
Dublin City Sky is the title of our song of
the Day from a Dublin, Ireland quintet called the Fontaines DC.
Because we're celebrating St Patrick's day on an Ima horse,
Modello meets you a lot of Monday, where twas the
liquid courage giving Saint Patrick that fighting spirit to lead
the snakes out of Ireland and right into the sea.
(14:25):
So raise your pine glasses and remembrance and enjoy your corn,
beef and cabbage as we work our way through four
hours of Gorey Eat Sports Talk, to be followed by
Jason Smith and Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
On Fox Sports Radio that show. Thank you Jason O. Smith.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Two very prevalent things that have come out here. Number One,
when it comes to the skiak, Oh yeah, that h
heading into it's called the sky act, and I'm sorry
I should have known that from my child.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
It's not called the ski act.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
The cool should feel like some kind of spinal disease.
And this guy says, after interviewing seventy eight coaches on
the podcast, I feel like there are no more in body.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I'll find them. I'll find me a coach.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I'll dig harder than I did during the Potato five. Oh,
we'll be back with David Dasa Life from Tokyo. Tune
in Tokyo now.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
The Talking with the Pound. That's your some money and
five seventy l A Sports Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
We got Dodger Baseball at three am, Dodgers on deck
at two am, and we still have that pair of
tickets to give away to watch the game at COSM,
(16:01):
and we'll do it between now and the top of
the hour. How about that, between now and the top
of the hour, we'll give those tickets away.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
That's big news. And so's this David with an inside
look at the Dodgers. This is the Vassie Report with
David Vasse. You're gonna hear him in the two o'clock
hour AM. That is for Arango Casino Dodgers on Deck.
He's gonna do a big instagram live from the field
(16:29):
before the game. So get on that hush one am
seventy and he'll have Dodger Talk tonight taking your calls
from Japan like five AM, and then it'll be replayed
and you can hear it the second time around, and
then Matt and I will come on after that. MLB Network.
He's set in Japan with Pentecostal Flame. He's been on
(16:53):
morning shows, late night shows, MLB Network, Spectrum Sports Net.
It's David Vasse on the Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity
Hotline Live from Tokyo.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
What's cragging, Dave, Well, it's finally here, Opening Day in
Major League Baseball. Everybody's very excited about here. I'm actually
seeing as we got closer to today, a lot more
of the fans from LA showing up on the streets
of Tokyo. And I'm not even sure they have tickets.
(17:23):
They just wanted to be out here. So it feels
like similar to when the Dodgers go to a very
fine city in the States, like New York or Boston,
fans show up there, and that's what's happened here. In
the last forty eight.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Hours before you went, Dave, you said you expected Tokyo
to be on a different level than South Korea. Now
that the game has arrived, kind of take us through
what it's been like working up to this moment to
kick off the season, and just how important it feels
like the Dodgers are to that country.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Yeah, this is a Dodger country. It's a Dodgers city.
The Otani billboards, you name it, from watches to green
tea to any basic major product out here. He has
a huge billboard. And there's a very famous area here
in Tokyo that I visited a couple of times, including
(18:17):
last night, and it's one of the most populated intersections
in the world, Shibuya Crossing. It's basically a Times Square
here in Tokyo, and there have been a few different
fun pop ups that I saw there. They have an
Otani New Balance pop up there. They got a Tops
Baseball card pop up shop. So this is so much
(18:40):
different than a year ago, where it really wasn't affecting
the population and soul that there was major League Baseball there.
But Tokyo has definitely maximized it, promoted it, and everybody
is really exciting.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
The only thing that's negative other than that it's early
in the morning out there. Dave and I had to
wake up to do this, which we appreciate.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
I was awake.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Is Mookie How bad is Mookie Betts? What happened to him?
I mean, when you hear he's that sick and he
can't play and he's lost that much weight, it's alarming.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Yeah, it really is. This is the sequence of events
that I had first hand with Mookie Betts. When we
arrived to Tokyo. We were both getting our bags in
the hotel lobby and I just casually said, hey, how
you doing. He's a lot better now off that plane,
and you just think that it's you know, twelve hours
and that's the reason why he said that. Then we
(19:35):
find out there was more to it, and about two
days ago he went to the field and tried to,
you know, see how he felt, see whether or not
he was strong enough to be able to play, and
from what I was told. His legs were weak, he
was a little lightheaded when he was taking ground balls
and shortstop, and look, Dave Roberts told you millions of
(19:55):
people were waiting for us at the airport. He also
said that he lost fifteen pounds with this illness. I'm
not sure about that, but he did look skin year
when I saw him yesterday, so I'm sure it's taken
a lot out of him. And the Dodgers reason for
not playing him in these two games is they're concerned about,
(20:15):
you know, soft tissue injuries, is the way Dave Roberts
presented it. So it feels like seeing him yesterday, he's
much better as far as the stomach illness goes. But still,
you know, the Dodgers don't want to risk, you know,
any sort of injuries because he you know, he hasn't
really played in the last ten days.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
So assume Edmund to short. Who ends up getting the
call for opening day there in about ten hours.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
I don't see Edmond at short. What is going to
play short?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
So that's so no Pas, It'll just be Rojas. Then
I got you, Well, I guess that makes more sense.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Yeah, just like it was during the regular season last year,
Edmund will stay at second and you'll have PAHs in
center field, especially with a left hander tonight in Ymanaga
on the mound.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
What do you think ends up being the closer, Dave?
It's a one run game. Do you think it could
be somebody tonight and somebody tomorrow night? Or do you
think we're going to kind of get a little tip
of the hand as to who the guy would be
that gets the call in the ninth No.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Without a doubt, it's going to be Tanner Scott. Dave
Roberts said when we were back in Arizona that Scott's
going to get the majority of the save opportunities, at
least to start the year. So I don't have any
doubts in my mind. If the Dodgers have a save opportunity,
you're going to see Tanner Scott emerge from the bullpen
below the dugout here at the Tokyo Dome.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Uh oh, who's grabbing ass with Vassa right now? You're
doing something.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
I'm just saying. It's very unusual that the bullpen.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Is gotcha below the dugout. It's like in some tunnel. Yeah, So,
overall day, in my hotel room.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Nobody's grabbing ass with me.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Well, you know, I don't know. It's a different place
out there. You know, things are weird. Are you tired
of it there yet?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Dave?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Do you feel like you want to come home?
Speaker 5 (22:03):
I feel like it's run its course. It's been a
great trip. But I've seen as much as I could
see in Tokyo. But the people here what makes this
city and country great. They find a way to respect
each other and they're just so they're great people, and
I think that's what that's the reason why you hear
how great this country is. It's not just because of
(22:24):
the architecture or you know, the scenes, the cherry blossoms.
It's more about just the people and that's what makes
it great.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
The one and only David Massey is our guest live
in Tokyo. Very much anticipated opening day, Maybe the most
ever is the Dodgers are in Tokyo with show Heyo Taani,
a global superstar taking on the Cubs. Dave, you know
you regaled us with stories on Thursday about how you
did a show and they miked you up and sent
(22:56):
you to a local place where they don't serve Americans
and Stuf stuff like that. Have you done anything else
like that? Did you eat any of Otani's million dollar tuna?
Have you done anything else like that?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Or after that? Did you lay low?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Well?
Speaker 5 (23:10):
No, we had a big excursion.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I think.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Well, we talked to Petros when I was on my
way to the sumo wrestling demonstration with Blake Trina and
Tanner Scott and I think you've seen the photos on
social media where myself and Kershaw and the Dodgers player
Relationsjuanderado were called up to demonstrate and try to move
the sumo wrestler. Kershaw went toe to toe with a
(23:35):
sumo wrestler to try to move him. And so that
was the experience after we spoke on Friday, and honestly
just taking long walks here Japanese gardens, just trying to
take in as much as I possibly can before we leave.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I know, the Dodger social media posted a number of
the players getting on the plane, asking them how they
were going to pass us time on the trip, the
fourteen hour trip, and the social media also sharing what
they've been out, you know, kind of doing walking around town.
And I noticed your best friend Snelzilla bought three packs
of Pokemon cards and said he was going to probably
(24:14):
be playing on the flight home. Are you going to
be part of the Pokemon game with Blake and do
you have any idea how to do the Pokemon card
trading thing?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Well, my son is a Pokemon fan, and I'm trying
to encourage him to get out of this phase as
quickly as possible, so I'm not feeding into the Pokemon
and I don't know how to play these games that
guys do. But there is a Pokemon headquarters here that
I know a lot of players have come.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Yeah, Bonda was there freaking out.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
It looked like, Yeah, Bonda has a young son. He
was freaking out with his son there. And another point
of interest if you ever come to Tokyo is the
old fish market. It's no longer a functioning fish market
because too many tourists were coming through there. But it's
kind of like what I experienced in Seoul, where there's
a lot of soup vendors and I ran into the
(25:05):
Frostos from Rancho's palasferd to friends of the Papadakis. Yeah,
they were out there, and every player has gone over
there at some point in time during the last week.
It's great food, great experience to be among the people
there that fuld that former fish market beautiful.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Well, you've been doing great work, Dave.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
We're going to look forward to that Instagram live around
two am before the game, and of course Moroango Casino
Dodgers on deck. Stay tuned and get up early if
you want to roll with the Azul in Japan. Dave,
have a great day out there and a great couple
of days. Let us know if you run into Rogan
(25:44):
or Rodney, I will.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
I've run into Holly a couple of times, but not
Rodney himself, so I feel like they're very close, but
hopefully not too close.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
All right, and don't forget Dodger talk. Dave will take
your calls this morning tomorrow morning somewhere on five am.
Thank you, Dave, like sense him, like like Darth Vader
could sense Skywalker, like he's here. I'm gonna duck herund
the corner. Well that was ninth, yeah, Vass feeling the
Tokyo rush. Well that's good news. Fifteen pounds a bit
(26:16):
of an exaggeration, So there's gonna be a million people
who they weren't there.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
So there's at pounds and it's four We're all prone
to exaggeration. Not here in great sports talk though, not
anaima horse sports talk, Not on Saint Patrick's day, not
on them that I'll meet you a lot of Monday,
Not when we have Dodgers at two am, and not
when the tournament's popping off. Somebody, masters are serve we

caller seventeen eighty sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy,
that's Cosmcosm dot com. All right, Matt, A little story
for you.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Uh, you know, when the Dodgers were in the World Series,
I got a call from a woman who a woman
who uh was a family friend from sim Pedro who's
working in production with Apple or with the people that
Apple hired to do a documentary on the Dodgers Yankees
(28:11):
World series, right right, So they said, originally they wanted
to follow you and I around with a camera during
the Dodgers Yankees were allowed to.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
See with what the Petro some money gets offered to
do during the World series exactly. So I had to say, well,
I hate to break it to you guys, but you know,
it's just Matt and I in a room in Burbank
chopping it up. But I'll put you in contact with
David Vassy. I'll put you in contact with Tim Kates
and these guys. So and we even had like conference
calls with these production people, answering their questions, just being nice.
(28:41):
I mean, this big production. So they call Vassay, they
go way down the road with Vassay. They end up
not following Vassay around with a camera, not following Kates
or calling Yee or Steven Nelson or anybody. They end
up following around the stupid idiot website guys like Dodger
(29:03):
Nation or something, which is whatever, you know what I mean,
who cares exactly right? Who cares?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Well?
Speaker 3 (29:10):
They weren't going to pay us anyway, but we ended
up going like this was a very reputable production. And
I felt bad because Vassa had to take like five
of these people's calls. I had to take a couple.
How many times did you talk to him.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Tim email and phone? Probably three or four? Right, So
they went down the road with us like hey, can
we come and do this? Can we come and do that?
And we're like, well, you know, we're here whatever, you know.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
But they ended up going with these weak ass website
guys that have no access, no nothing, And maybe that's
why because Vassay has too much access, I.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Don't know, and they wouldn't let him in.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
But either way, that was just that. That's all we
heard about it. But a trailer has come out for
the doc The documentary is coming out when next week
or something like that.
Speaker 7 (29:51):

me feel like crap. And my guy, Mike Caane, they're
leading Russia in Northridge, Matador history frozen in the record books.
I don't like when they cancel our local football programs,
whatever division they're in. They tried to cancel the Whittier Poets, remember,
I think they canceled them, and then they came back

direct competition with one of our great sponsors, Concordia University. Indeed,
there has been talk that like Ohio State just threw
all that money at chip Kelly to become their OC.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
And then the Raiders did it right. Six million dollars.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
That's money is being gathered. Both fund me are popping
up all over Laverne and ASUSA to hire coach broadcaster.
He's going to do all the jobs podcaster Quitmankay Tim
Kates and Director of Football Operations Leslie Kates. It's a
(07:17):
real family affair to go over from Concordia where they've
created so much success, seventy eight podcasts on the Concordia
Masters in Coaching.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Podcast, wildly successful.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
They might make a move, a big, huge power move
for Tim Kates, and we'll have to stay tuned for to.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Pick up the slack here, we'll have to do the
Master's in Coaching podcast, and it's going to piggyback the
Petros and Money podcast.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Joining us now the volleyball coach at Sonora High School,
Patricia Fuentes.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Patricia talk about the challenge, the challenge that just get better.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Well, Matt, I love the kids and I like to
teach volleyball. When they do, the libero comes out and
he did this set, and I say, spack it down.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
We're going to beat Roosevelt. Nobody's beating Roosevelt. Not till
this year. Matthew went and see what we can Dobody.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
So, anyway, did you think as a young girl growing
up in Total Santos, is.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
That in South America?
Speaker 6 (08:22):
No, I was young in Santa Victoria team. I dreamed
of a day that I could be a libero. I
am only five to two, and some say that I
cannot callt volleyball because I am so shocked.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I think we're a lock. Guess him out, go on,
Kate's the money. Here's a seismic shift, Yes, matt now
that they have a football program. Woll what's Concordia are
gonna do in twenty twenty six? I just continue to
dominate with that basketball program. Dominate. It's not for the
number of the day.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Here's my.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Twelve. I was inspired a pastner, Josh Passner, such great
college basketball march madness, bracket worthy conversation. Now he wouldn't
do it, but you tried to lead him. You tried
to lead that horse to drink the North Carolina thing
ugly getting into the tournament with one quad one win.
(09:18):
And we all know here on the Petros and Money
Show you post a one to twelve record in quad
one games, Shay, especially when that one quad one win
was against UCLA sort of humiliating. But that is not
why that was Why are you bringing up bold asses,
That is not why the number of the day is twelve.
This is why there is always the twelve five upset.
(09:41):
And yes, Passner gave us a different twelve seed McNeese
Coublers to be that twelve five upset. But because I
am now invested, because I spent an hour fifty to
two hours and fifteen minutes on my flight home watching
the UC San Diego U See Irvine Big West Championship game,
(10:06):
I am now invested, and I feel as though I
am expert on all things you see SD Tritons.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Oh okay, you're gonna go with us the old scripts
pier down there in La joya short.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Let me tell you now, I was also had my
eyes on those two seven footers that passed that Passner
was talking about Danny Wolf Vlad golden Wolf borderline lottery pick,
and that could play to their advantage. But perhaps Pastor
not paying close enough attention to the Big West, because
if he had known it. But as I heard on
(10:40):
the broadcast about head coach Eric Olin, who took this
team from D two to D one and has them
in the tournament their first year of eligibility four years later,
he looked at you see Irvine, and he said, I
can't do what they do and come with the worst product.
They get the bigs they're dominating with biggs. Russ Turner
is known as a great big and coch So what
(11:00):
do I do? I mean, I could Big West all day.
You want to be in the West, let's go. So
what West? Could be a desperate place? What does OLAND do?
He says, I'm gonna build it around turnovers, and I'm
gonna build it around six foot six to six foot
eight guys that pull these bigs out of the paint
and we're going to tire them out. That's how they're
doing it in La Joya. That's how they're doing it.
(11:21):
And they're creating turnovers at an NCAA best twenty three
point seven percent of possessions.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Not since the turn it over, not since the wind
and see surf rats gang down in La Joya? Has
so much tumult been caused with all these turnovers, Matt
and all the.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Disruption, It's exactly right. P three is more than two.
And when it comes to rebounding, they say it's Eric
Olan's nightmare match up zone and no middle D that
he presents to opponents that they can't handle. Who are
they planning? Michigan twelve five, twelve five get the extra possessions.
Just the second team in the Big West to ever
(11:56):
appear in the top fifty Ken Palm rankings misty six.
Pretty good, right, They're really good. They're ahead of Creighton, Oklahoma,
San Diego State, and Memphis, Utah State, Texas McNeice that
Josh mentioned ahead of them in the Ken Palm rankings.
And as always p we like to point out nobody
(12:17):
likes the kiwis like we do. We're very New Zealand
or and they got themselves a New Zealander a nie
one Niwa Taint Jones, not Taint Tate, a knee one
niewah Tate Jones, who is a top ten Player of
the Year candidate in the NCAA. The Tritons are our team.
(12:38):
Michigan is only favored by two and a half points.
The odds makers know, and they did not make it
a twelve to five like line, like Clemson is favored
by eight. McNeese coming to my mind, now, why is
Passner so stupid? What are you doing? What an idiot?
What are you? You did not pay attention with your
CSD like I did on a Southwest flight from in
(13:00):
You defeen it. You got a phone with us with
your little dime hole mouth, and.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
You didn't know about eric Olin and the Triton the
six to six disruption dominating the Big West All Tournament.
They hammered you see Irvine by fourteen in the championship game,
thirty two and five on the season.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I don't like seeing that. Here we go Triton's All
Day twelve five upset. You heard it here first? Here first,
I spent at least an hour forty five minutes watching it.
I bet all my money on it. Confine lost.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I had walked out onto the scripts pier loa shoors
and I killed myself.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
A niwa niwa pa Jones the tainter, it's what they
like to call him. Hey, he taintd an easy guard
down there. That's all right to of the morning til
you taint the postgame interview. Oh yeah yeah, great group
of awes and dated to gains and now he had
a share of that. Tin't worried about it, Runny. This
(14:01):
is the song of the day.
Speaker 8 (14:05):
Dublin City Sky is the title of our song of
the Day from a Dublin, Ireland quintet called the Fontaines DC.
Because we're celebrating St Patrick's day on an Ima horse,
Modello meets you a lot of Monday, where twas the
liquid courage giving Saint Patrick that fighting spirit to lead
the snakes out of Ireland and right into the sea.
(14:25):
So raise your pine glasses and remembrance and enjoy your corn,
beef and cabbage as we work our way through four
hours of Gorey Eat Sports Talk, to be followed by
Jason Smith and Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
On Fox Sports Radio that show. Thank you Jason O. Smith.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Two very prevalent things that have come out here. Number One,
when it comes to the skiak, Oh yeah, that h
heading into it's called the sky act, and I'm sorry
I should have known that from my child.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
It's not called the ski act.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
The cool should feel like some kind of spinal disease.
And this guy says, after interviewing seventy eight coaches on
the podcast, I feel like there are no more in body.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I'll find them. I'll find me a coach.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I'll dig harder than I did during the Potato five. Oh,
we'll be back with David Dasa Life from Tokyo. Tune
in Tokyo now.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
The Talking with the Pound. That's your some money and
five seventy l A Sports Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
We got Dodger Baseball at three am, Dodgers on deck
at two am, and we still have that pair of
tickets to give away to watch the game at COSM,
(16:01):
and we'll do it between now and the top of
the hour. How about that, between now and the top
of the hour, we'll give those tickets away.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
That's big news. And so's this David with an inside
look at the Dodgers. This is the Vassie Report with
David Vasse. You're gonna hear him in the two o'clock
hour AM. That is for Arango Casino Dodgers on Deck.
He's gonna do a big instagram live from the field
(16:29):
before the game. So get on that hush one am
seventy and he'll have Dodger Talk tonight taking your calls
from Japan like five AM, and then it'll be replayed
and you can hear it the second time around, and
then Matt and I will come on after that. MLB Network.
He's set in Japan with Pentecostal Flame. He's been on
(16:53):
morning shows, late night shows, MLB Network, Spectrum Sports Net.
It's David Vasse on the Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity
Hotline Live from Tokyo.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
What's cragging, Dave, Well, it's finally here, Opening Day in
Major League Baseball. Everybody's very excited about here. I'm actually
seeing as we got closer to today, a lot more
of the fans from LA showing up on the streets
of Tokyo. And I'm not even sure they have tickets.
(17:23):
They just wanted to be out here. So it feels
like similar to when the Dodgers go to a very
fine city in the States, like New York or Boston,
fans show up there, and that's what's happened here. In
the last forty eight.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Hours before you went, Dave, you said you expected Tokyo
to be on a different level than South Korea. Now
that the game has arrived, kind of take us through
what it's been like working up to this moment to
kick off the season, and just how important it feels
like the Dodgers are to that country.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Yeah, this is a Dodger country. It's a Dodgers city.
The Otani billboards, you name it, from watches to green
tea to any basic major product out here. He has
a huge billboard. And there's a very famous area here
in Tokyo that I visited a couple of times, including
(18:17):
last night, and it's one of the most populated intersections
in the world, Shibuya Crossing. It's basically a Times Square
here in Tokyo, and there have been a few different
fun pop ups that I saw there. They have an
Otani New Balance pop up there. They got a Tops
Baseball card pop up shop. So this is so much
(18:40):
different than a year ago, where it really wasn't affecting
the population and soul that there was major League Baseball there.
But Tokyo has definitely maximized it, promoted it, and everybody
is really exciting.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
The only thing that's negative other than that it's early
in the morning out there. Dave and I had to
wake up to do this, which we appreciate.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
I was awake.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Is Mookie How bad is Mookie Betts? What happened to him?
I mean, when you hear he's that sick and he
can't play and he's lost that much weight, it's alarming.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Yeah, it really is. This is the sequence of events
that I had first hand with Mookie Betts. When we
arrived to Tokyo. We were both getting our bags in
the hotel lobby and I just casually said, hey, how
you doing. He's a lot better now off that plane,
and you just think that it's you know, twelve hours
and that's the reason why he said that. Then we
(19:35):
find out there was more to it, and about two
days ago he went to the field and tried to,
you know, see how he felt, see whether or not
he was strong enough to be able to play, and
from what I was told. His legs were weak, he
was a little lightheaded when he was taking ground balls
and shortstop, and look, Dave Roberts told you millions of
(19:55):
people were waiting for us at the airport. He also
said that he lost fifteen pounds with this illness. I'm
not sure about that, but he did look skin year
when I saw him yesterday, so I'm sure it's taken
a lot out of him. And the Dodgers reason for
not playing him in these two games is they're concerned about,
(20:15):
you know, soft tissue injuries, is the way Dave Roberts
presented it. So it feels like seeing him yesterday, he's
much better as far as the stomach illness goes. But still,
you know, the Dodgers don't want to risk, you know,
any sort of injuries because he you know, he hasn't
really played in the last ten days.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
So assume Edmund to short. Who ends up getting the
call for opening day there in about ten hours.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
I don't see Edmond at short. What is going to
play short?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
So that's so no Pas, It'll just be Rojas. Then
I got you, Well, I guess that makes more sense.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Yeah, just like it was during the regular season last year,
Edmund will stay at second and you'll have PAHs in
center field, especially with a left hander tonight in Ymanaga
on the mound.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
What do you think ends up being the closer, Dave?
It's a one run game. Do you think it could
be somebody tonight and somebody tomorrow night? Or do you
think we're going to kind of get a little tip
of the hand as to who the guy would be
that gets the call in the ninth No.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Without a doubt, it's going to be Tanner Scott. Dave
Roberts said when we were back in Arizona that Scott's
going to get the majority of the save opportunities, at
least to start the year. So I don't have any
doubts in my mind. If the Dodgers have a save opportunity,
you're going to see Tanner Scott emerge from the bullpen
below the dugout here at the Tokyo Dome.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Uh oh, who's grabbing ass with Vassa right now? You're
doing something.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
I'm just saying. It's very unusual that the bullpen.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Is gotcha below the dugout. It's like in some tunnel. Yeah, So,
overall day, in my hotel room.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Nobody's grabbing ass with me.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Well, you know, I don't know. It's a different place
out there. You know, things are weird. Are you tired
of it there yet?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Dave?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Do you feel like you want to come home?
Speaker 5 (22:03):
I feel like it's run its course. It's been a
great trip. But I've seen as much as I could
see in Tokyo. But the people here what makes this
city and country great. They find a way to respect
each other and they're just so they're great people, and
I think that's what that's the reason why you hear
how great this country is. It's not just because of
(22:24):
the architecture or you know, the scenes, the cherry blossoms.
It's more about just the people and that's what makes
it great.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
The one and only David Massey is our guest live
in Tokyo. Very much anticipated opening day, Maybe the most
ever is the Dodgers are in Tokyo with show Heyo Taani,
a global superstar taking on the Cubs. Dave, you know
you regaled us with stories on Thursday about how you
did a show and they miked you up and sent
(22:56):
you to a local place where they don't serve Americans
and Stuf stuff like that. Have you done anything else
like that? Did you eat any of Otani's million dollar tuna?
Have you done anything else like that?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Or after that? Did you lay low?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Well?
Speaker 5 (23:10):
No, we had a big excursion.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I think.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Well, we talked to Petros when I was on my
way to the sumo wrestling demonstration with Blake Trina and
Tanner Scott and I think you've seen the photos on
social media where myself and Kershaw and the Dodgers player
Relationsjuanderado were called up to demonstrate and try to move
the sumo wrestler. Kershaw went toe to toe with a
(23:35):
sumo wrestler to try to move him. And so that
was the experience after we spoke on Friday, and honestly
just taking long walks here Japanese gardens, just trying to
take in as much as I possibly can before we leave.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I know, the Dodger social media posted a number of
the players getting on the plane, asking them how they
were going to pass us time on the trip, the
fourteen hour trip, and the social media also sharing what
they've been out, you know, kind of doing walking around town.
And I noticed your best friend Snelzilla bought three packs
of Pokemon cards and said he was going to probably
(24:14):
be playing on the flight home. Are you going to
be part of the Pokemon game with Blake and do
you have any idea how to do the Pokemon card
trading thing?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Well, my son is a Pokemon fan, and I'm trying
to encourage him to get out of this phase as
quickly as possible, so I'm not feeding into the Pokemon
and I don't know how to play these games that
guys do. But there is a Pokemon headquarters here that
I know a lot of players have come.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Yeah, Bonda was there freaking out.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
It looked like, Yeah, Bonda has a young son. He
was freaking out with his son there. And another point
of interest if you ever come to Tokyo is the
old fish market. It's no longer a functioning fish market
because too many tourists were coming through there. But it's
kind of like what I experienced in Seoul, where there's
a lot of soup vendors and I ran into the
(25:05):
Frostos from Rancho's palasferd to friends of the Papadakis. Yeah,
they were out there, and every player has gone over
there at some point in time during the last week.
It's great food, great experience to be among the people
there that fuld that former fish market beautiful.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Well, you've been doing great work, Dave.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
We're going to look forward to that Instagram live around
two am before the game, and of course Moroango Casino
Dodgers on deck. Stay tuned and get up early if
you want to roll with the Azul in Japan. Dave,
have a great day out there and a great couple
of days. Let us know if you run into Rogan
(25:44):
or Rodney, I will.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
I've run into Holly a couple of times, but not
Rodney himself, so I feel like they're very close, but
hopefully not too close.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
All right, and don't forget Dodger talk. Dave will take
your calls this morning tomorrow morning somewhere on five am.
Thank you, Dave, like sense him, like like Darth Vader
could sense Skywalker, like he's here. I'm gonna duck herund
the corner. Well that was ninth, yeah, Vass feeling the
Tokyo rush. Well that's good news. Fifteen pounds a bit
(26:16):
of an exaggeration, So there's gonna be a million people
who they weren't there.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
So there's at pounds and it's four We're all prone
to exaggeration. Not here in great sports talk though, not
anaima horse sports talk, Not on Saint Patrick's day, not
on them that I'll meet you a lot of Monday,
Not when we have Dodgers at two am, and not
when the tournament's popping off. Somebody, masters are serve we

next segment, Matt, you might might find it interesting.

that's Cosmcosm dot com. All right, Matt, A little story
for you.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Uh, you know, when the Dodgers were in the World Series,
I got a call from a woman who a woman
who uh was a family friend from sim Pedro who's
working in production with Apple or with the people that
Apple hired to do a documentary on the Dodgers Yankees
(28:11):
World series, right right, So they said, originally they wanted
to follow you and I around with a camera during
the Dodgers Yankees were allowed to.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
See with what the Petro some money gets offered to
do during the World series exactly. So I had to say, well,
I hate to break it to you guys, but you know,
it's just Matt and I in a room in Burbank
chopping it up. But I'll put you in contact with
David Vassy. I'll put you in contact with Tim Kates
and these guys. So and we even had like conference
calls with these production people, answering their questions, just being nice.
(28:41):
I mean, this big production. So they call Vassay, they
go way down the road with Vassay. They end up
not following Vassay around with a camera, not following Kates
or calling Yee or Steven Nelson or anybody. They end
up following around the stupid idiot website guys like Dodger
(29:03):
Nation or something, which is whatever, you know what I mean,
who cares exactly right? Who cares?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Well?
Speaker 3 (29:10):
They weren't going to pay us anyway, but we ended
up going like this was a very reputable production. And
I felt bad because Vassa had to take like five
of these people's calls. I had to take a couple.
How many times did you talk to him.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Tim email and phone? Probably three or four? Right, So
they went down the road with us like hey, can
we come and do this? Can we come and do that?
And we're like, well, you know, we're here whatever, you know.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
But they ended up going with these weak ass website
guys that have no access, no nothing, And maybe that's
why because Vassay has too much access, I.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Don't know, and they wouldn't let him in.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
But either way, that was just that. That's all we
heard about it. But a trailer has come out for
the doc The documentary is coming out when next week
or something like that.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
Friday the twenty eighth.
