As the Dodgers make their first trip to the Eastern

so we're here for ninety minutes. We got clippers on
our sister station, AM eleven fifty. They're hosting the Dallas Mavericks.

Lloyd Bridges in Seaha.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Let's have a go with that crazy fish week up
this morning.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
For sure, the fish looked like good eating, but it
made a deadly breakfast. It was to have a weird
effect on these two friends of mine. I thought that
I had no part in their affairs that morning, Yet
within a few hours, because of that fish, they both
tried to kill me.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Jesus uh Todd Lights thirteen to five. What are you nuts?
We still got to take that brdom man. You know
what that's like these days?
Speaker 5 (04:23):
You got the Navy everywhere, you got frogmen, you got
the e C two's with the satellite tracking, you got
the bell two nine of salt choppers up the ass.
We're losing one out of every nine loads. That's no
dunk walk anymore. Let me tell you, forget about money.
What do you suggest that's reasonable.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Let's try that crazy fish deed a rule everybody.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Oh boy, oh bosh, annoyers, the AMMO is gonna bitch tonight.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
But Matt, speaking of yesterday, as we were discussing many
things yesterday in our long show. Uh, first, I'd like
to know if if there's a follow up on our
Zenschi sushi party from yesterday and he fall anything happened,
Kate's you hear anything?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
No, I got something. I got something.
Speaker 7 (06:04):
I didn't hear anything.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I got this email. You got this email as well,
but you didn't reply to it because you. I don't
believe in your nineteen years here have ever checked your
work email yet it still exists.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Well that's not true. I might, I might when I
first got there. I think I checked it the first
couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
There you go, first couple of weeks, unteen, you can give.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Me my couple of weeks. Don't you dare short me?
This came from we were emailed. We were emailed? Was
Kate's on the email? Yes, Kate, how come you said
there's no fallout? Then?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
I must have missed the email. I must have missed it.
I even replied to.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
The email, oh did you Yeah, Jim who said we
worked a little risk k that's attacked verbally. Let yesterday,
well he attacked us in front of Debbie. Guys, thank
you for coming up and saying hi to Deborah. I
know she really likes it when she gets to talk
to the team. Meetings like the one we had today
(07:14):
go a long way. Thanks again, Jim. No fallout, no
fallout now, as you know, thanks to you never checking
your email and Tim Kats, who was probably drunk by
the time he read it. Celebrating his birthday out there
at Don Kuko's. I wrote, that's all a thing for you.
(07:36):
It really is. Yeah, it really is, wrote in response
to everybody. I hit reply all So Tim, you should
have gotten this email as well. We had a blast
up there, Jim. Thanks a blast We had a blast
up there, Jim, period. Thanks all right, So we're we're
(08:01):
in the clear. I think we're good.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Then there's the other follow up.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Nobody in our office listens to our show.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah, it's cool, it's great. There's the other follow up
where we had the tart that was bought by Colin
Yee for Tim Kats's birthday and it was torn to
pieces by a feral animal as known as Steffouche, the
(08:32):
board operating engineer for the Tim Conway Junior Show on KFI.
The follow up on Steffush is there's a photo if
you want to see what he looks like.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Did you post it on the Petro some Money?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I posted it today nice at Petros and Money. It's
a picture of Steffush eating Kates's happy Birthday name plate.
It's that was also made chocolate. And I got to
say I went over there and I complained loudly on
Conway's show during our break where he was sitting with
(09:06):
Mark Thompson and two directly two Staffouche and Sharon in
their studio and in their control room. I complained that
they ate all of Kate's cake. None of us got
any sweet tooth, blackmore got nothing. Kate's only got a
(09:27):
sliver of cake on his for his own cake on
his birthday. And there was no remorse, no shame, none,
just a smile and laugh from Staffs himself. Yeah. Just
a hard guy not to like, now you I mean
just I mean he doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
A hard guyde not to like, or a hard guy
too like.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
He's he's a hard guy not too like. He's a
likable man, right, And yes he eats all our food
like a shop pack, but it's not like he does
it in secret or in some clandestine way. He's like
a dog that climbs up on the dining room table
and just starts eating the food.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
And whose fault is it for leaving the food out?
Speaker 7 (10:06):
So you say it's my fault for leaving the cake out.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yes, you put that cake in a spot where Stefush's
sniffer could seek it.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
If you would have brought it down to you know,
and put it like in the studio with you and
Ronnie Steffusche would have found it. He would have popped
his head in there and been like so what he'd
have gotten up for grabs or.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
But it wouldn't have been out in the open for
him to massacre out out in the open field of work.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
He walked into your studio when you guys were on
the air to make hot dogs. Yes, he was fully enough.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Way, Well I was hot dog day, you know. I
mean it was hot dog day, you know what.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
And I hate that argument. My wife uses it all
the time. The dog eats something, Well, you shouldn't have
left it out there for the door. It's my fault,
it is, well, the dog's fault.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I'm not I'm not directly blaming anybody. I'm just saying,
I mean, we are learning a lesson here that there
is a monster that lives with us and work and
he will eat everything. He will I mean, and it's
new to us. You know, it's not like this guy's
been working here for twenty years like we have. You know,
(11:14):
it's new to us that if something is left out
and that's something is edible, this guy's gonna eat it
now on more than one occasion. That's a good thing, right, Matt,
Like we don't want you know, we always share our
food and we'd like somebody to eat hot dog day.
Eat all the hot dogs you can's to foosh.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
It's great until the boss comes in a little bit
later and it's like Hey, I'd like one of them dogs.
And you're like, oh boyt foush, don'e eate them all? Yeah,
and now we gotta send Ronnie across Ronny Street to
get some more dogs and buns. So we run one
for a boss man Zipline across up. I do and
I and I'm gonna push back on you cats. I
think there is something too if you if you live
(11:55):
with a dog and the wife and you know that
the dog is going to eat food if you leave
it out. It's a dog. It can't help itself.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Right, It's like the campground. The bear is gonna come
and slap your head off.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Steffusus p mentioned is a feral animal. Yeah, you leave
it out, he's gonna eat it. You cannot leave a
glorious Porto's probably somewhere in the neighborhood a fifty to
eighty dollars fruit tart the size of a bowling ball
in diameter in the Kfi area. Well, you know what's
gonna We knew he'd eat hot dogs.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
We knew that he'd We didn't know that he lacked
such humanity that he would just eat somebody's own birth
Take Matt.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
You always talk about it. The radio things stay left
out for decades. You could leave something out spams and
it'll be there when you come back in five years.
Not anymore, No, not because there's a human vacuum that
will eat it.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
It's amazing. I just there is a photo of him
if you want to see what he looks like.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
It's a great photo.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
And there's a photo of him eating Kates's chocolate name plate,
which is just amazing.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
That was my dessert last night. By that, I was
looking forward to having that piece of little chocolate with
my name on there and everything.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
No remorse, no shame, just a smile and a hearty laugh.
And I went down and I yelled at Conway about it,
and on my way out this is all I heard.
Conway said, you know, it's crazy how petros is. I
was wearing sweats and Mark Thompson goes, that's right. As
an athlete, they don't like Jesus Christ. You guys ate
(13:32):
all of our cake. And it was an unfortunate thing.
But beyond the.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Foosh just start his Twitter feed yesterday.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I don't know. That's what it was said to me,
The stuffoosh.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
That was the Twitter tip won following in zero followers.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah, that was the one that was sent to me
by Sharon.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Well, all I can focus on is the amount of
fruit tart on that plate, Like think about sliver. Steffush
has got at least four servings of fruit target.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I'm going to be honest. I didn't meet anybody else
that ate any of Kates's cake other than Kates and Steffouche.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
I did a fourth floor roll call. I went around
and asked people, Ronnie, Brian blackmore, folks of Kafie and
the newsroom. They're still there. I said, Hey, did you
guys have the fruitcake? No, not, even though it was there.
Is there any left? I said, no, there's none left. Sorry.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I mean, I think you get a lot of information
here on the Petrosten Muddy Show about office endeavors and
things like that. But I think we're learning a valuable
lesson about, you know, leaving food out, especially food that
maybe somebody might want to eat at a certain point
that it can no longer happen, not on this guy's watch,
because he's going to come around and he's going to
(14:50):
eat it, and he's not going to be shamed out
of eating it by being made fun of in person,
on the air, on We've attacked him on multiple platforms
arms and it hasn't stopped him from eating the food.
And I had, and in some ways I admire it,
but it was kind of a depressing birthday for cakes.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
Here's the other thing. And I told doctor.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
The doctor told him he was a mess. He comes
here and there's a nice cake for him, and then
and then he has to do Dodger talk and and
then has to like sprint over to Don Cucko's and
drown his sorrows and indigestion. Is that accurate to him?
It is?
Speaker 7 (15:31):
And here's the other thing I don't appreciate. I love
calling ye, what did you do? And I love the
fact that he brought on his off day, right, a
fruit tart cake. I don't need people coming in on
social media saying who buys a fruitcake? Okay, you get
a normal cake, Where's a chocolate where's a vanilla cake?
(15:51):
How about a Tristleitche's cake from Porthos? A fruitcake? And
I'm not taking that all right? Well, Colin did it
on his own. It was grateful for doing it.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Yeah, I know one guy that appreciated the fruit Cake
the fusher. Yeah, oh he love the fus.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Freaking fusher.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I don't even know his real name.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Oh that's not his real name, Stuffuh No, his name's like.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Staph, it's caffuch.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
I have no clue.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
No, his name is not stuff blues or whatever. Cast No,
it's like his name is Stephen Cabasas Jack Stephens, No Jack,
stefanovitch Jack. His name is h Cabasas And that might
(16:41):
be a Twitter moniker just because he.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Means giant head.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
But yeah, look at him, Look at him.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It is a giant head.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Look at him attacking Kate's's name plate. That's the best.
It's his happy birthday too. Oh and another follow up
from Yes, I told you that Ja Morant long gun
shotgun celebration was gonna get him in trouble. He did
it again last night, and then the vampire freaking find
(17:10):
him seventy five thousand dollars. And now everybody else on
Twitter is showing pictures of Lebron acting like he's got
a nine, putting a clip into it and cocking them.
Everybody's showing all these gun celebrations in the NBA. They're
gonna make it illegal, like the wiping of your nose
in the NFL match.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Well, as long as they allow us, as long as
they allow us to snort the third base line, and
we don't get that, baby, we had to apologize for that.
You shouldn't have apologized. You should have said, I don't
give a damn I'm gonna snort that line.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Listen, I'm I'm drawn a line of cocaine.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
You would live if you were John Morant. I mean,
I guess you're making whatever, forty million bucks a year,
but like, I don't care if I'm making forty million
bucks a year, I'm gonna go ahead and come up
with a different celebration so I don't have to scratch
out no, a thousand dollars check. I'm just not gonna
do it.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I must hold my long gun and shoot it at
the opposing bench.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I'm gonna do this Sam Cassell Big Ball Dance.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
It feels like it would be less offensive at this point.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
Exactly what's the NFL one they just banned that you
can't like sniff your finger or something of that because
it's morrelated.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Why Why do I even speak? Why am I even here?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
You know what? I'm glad staffuchiate your cake, I'm kidding,
or scuff fusha are you or Steph Stefanovitch it's Stefan.
I found out it's Stefan Stefan.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yes, that's his first name. Copy that and his last
name is cut Bezos. Yes see he's right. Yeah, who.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Talk about having a name that really does? I mean,
you know they say that the name was a description
of your job, and I mean his family lineage is hey,
this family's got some jack kids. We're just gonna call
him heads.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
Sharon Bellio text me his name and I said, maybe
it's a time to change it to Steve.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I like skaffouche with a k.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
See I thought it was stef so did I And
then no, it's not anyway. You know what. David Vassay
is in Philadelphia. He's going to join us next. He's
a lot happier. He didn't have a depressing, tequila soaked birthday.
He had dinner with Eric Carros.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
And he has a gall bladder.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
You know, it's a low blow, man, You know that.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
It was really it was horrible. You're right, kids, but
it's not your birthday anymore.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
My birthday weekend, Well, Narcolepsi Nick calling you out for
being drunk on your birthday.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Yeah, stay with us, everybody. We're happy to be on
so early, fifty years at full speed, and the Accura
Grand Prix of Long Beach is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary
and next weekend Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, April eleventh through
(20:13):
the thirteenth, they'll be in town. It is the.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Accura Grand Prix of Long Beach. Tickets are available at
GPLB dot com.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Live from Philadelphia after a bet paid off to Eric
Carros in the form of a fine East Coast dinner
I'm sure at a great restaurant. It's time for David Vasse,
the Home of the Dogdays with an inside look at
(20:43):
the Dodgers. This is the vass Report with David Vasse, Dodgers,
Phillies coming up, Dodgers on Decade two thirty. That's why
we're on so early. David Vasse is in Philly and
Yamamoto is pitching tonight. Enjoy the game on AM fire
seventy because, like we said, it's on Apple. If you
don't have Apple TV, you need a M five seventy.
(21:07):
David Vassay's on the Southern California tell you to do
the Celebrity Hotline, the most celebrated reporter in the world.
How was the dinner, Dave?
Speaker 8 (21:15):
It was great. It was fifteen of us. Eric Carros
was the guest to our usual group dinner, some of
the Trainers clubhouse staff. We were all there and Eric
Carros was unaware that the Dodgers' all time saves leader
treated us to dinner. Kenley Jansen, an off night for
(21:35):
the Angels, took care of his old pals, and Carros
feels like I still owe him a dinner because I
didn't pay, but I feel like I feel like we're even.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
No, I mean still dinner day.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Yeah, you still aw him at dinner. You can't glom
on a fifteen person long ass.
Speaker 8 (21:53):
Damn he globbed on.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
So what happened to Freddie Freeman, Dave? What happened between
yesterday and the last couple days with his ankle? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (22:04):
Well, number one, what happened is the Dodgers are eight
to er right, and they're playing really well even when
Freddy is not able to play, So they just wanted
to be extra cautious. They have the luxury of an
eight to no start and really good players on their
team that they can absorb not having Freddie Freeman play
for the next ten days. And Freddy didn't even make
(22:26):
the trip to the East Coast, so the Dodgers did
not want him to fly cross country. The weather was
supposed to be unpredictable, rainy, cold here in Philly and
in Washington, DC. It's unfortunate Freddy won't be able to
join his teammates at the White House because they're doing
that on Monday. But that just comes with the territory.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
So what do we think, Dave? Is this something that'll
be evaluated day to day. Is it revisit it in
a week? Is it serious enough since it was a
prior injury that seemed pretty bad in the postseason a month.
Like what, I know, I don't want to ask you
to play here, but like, what do you think?
Speaker 8 (23:02):
Yeah, from what I saw at Dodger Stadium when he
was going through those agility drills before I spoke to
you guys, it looked like, you know, it looked like
his right ankle wasn't as stable as he was trying
to convince the trainers that it was. So I just
I just believe the Dodgers training staff and Andrew Friedman
(23:24):
want to play it super cautious and there's no need
to rush him back. So Freddy told us that it
wasn't a major setback when he fell and reaggravated that
right ankle, and you have to take him at his word.
He's always going to want to play. But he was
still in great spirits when I last saw him at
Dodger Stadium. But I'm sure he's not in a good
(23:44):
mood being told that he's going on the ten dayil
and he's not coming on this road trip and he's
not playing for a few games. So the Dodgers are
just being cautious, and like it's been expressed to me,
they had that luxury with the roster they have, and
with the eight to zero start there, they're off to.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
How long will they remain? Will they will you leave
the City of Brotherly Love with the Dodgers perfect record intact, Dave,
I don't.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
Believe so, Petros. I believe the Dodgers take two out
of three here in Philly, but I believe they lose
probably tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
And then Snell will rescue them with his start.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
No, Snell's not pitching in this series. I just saw
my guy Snell Zilla he's going out there to throw
get ready for his next start in the nation's capital.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Well, you mentioned tomorrow a loss. Incredibly insensitive of you
because it's the Rocky Sosaki start to gave what rough
go it's been so far? Like, like, how important does
that start tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Right?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I mean it's four and two thirds over two star
four and a third maybe even over two starts? Like
what against a pretty darn good lineup? Like, what are
we looking at for tomorrow?
Speaker 8 (24:59):
Well, I first and foremost, the Dodgers want him to
throw strikes. They don't want to see twenty eight pitch innings,
they don't want to see forty one pitch innings, and
they don't want to see walks, And that's how he's
going to be judged if they hit the ball. I
believe that the Dodgers could live with that more than
him walking guys and getting into major trouble and getting
(25:19):
the pitch count up and really putting their bullpen at
the start of a road trip in a bad spot.
So for me, that's essential for Sazaki. And look, even
if it doesn't go well or they feel like he
needs more seasoning. I don't believe they're going to send
him to Oklahoma City to make starts. I could see
them sending him to camel Back Ranch and working with
(25:42):
the pitching staff there and the pitching lab over there
to work out whatever they believe he needs to get
better at. And for Rochi, you know, like I mentioned
a few times, you get the feeling that he's a
subborn kid. He believes in the way he pitches. But
when you fail the way he has the first couple
of starts here, he's got to be able to be
(26:02):
more open to the Dodgers' ideas.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
David vasse at the real underscore DV holding it down
in Philadelphia like his hero Rocky Balboa, one of his
favorite cities to go to. You can hear how excited
he is in his voice, Dave. If the Dodgers have vulnerabilities,
what are.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
They defense tonight? They got Miguel Rojas playing third. We
saw Muncie make a couple of errors there. That's not
the reason why he's sitting. He's sitting because Lozardo, Jesus
Lozardo is one of the best lefties in the league.
So that's why they have Rojas at third, and when
you have Mookie Betts and Max Munsey on the left
side of your infield, you got a guy that's a
(26:46):
gold glove right fielder learning a new position that really
hasn't looked comfortable when he's had to make plays. So
that part of the equation concerns me. And their outfield
defense has been, I would say spotty at times. So
if there is if you're going to pick apart this team,
(27:06):
it would be their defense. And the Phillies were here
in batting practice trying to put the ball in play.
That's to me, the way to beat this Dodger team.
Forced them to make plays, force their outfielders to go right, left,
north south to try to see if they can make plays,
And to me, that's the only way you're going to
beat the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Last one for me, Dave, I don't know if you
saw it. I don't know what you think of the guy.
I've heard maybe he's a bit of an a hole,
but for whatever reason, maybe he's still loyal to the
Padres even though they tried to trade him a bunch
and he had that no trade thing going. But Hosmer
suggested that Rokie's got stuff on his hands in a
post and that's not cool man. The kids already dealing
(27:49):
with enough. Did you happen to see that? Ab? What
have you heard about Hosmer? Bad guy, douchebag, good guy?
And has anybody brought that up at all?
Speaker 8 (28:00):
Number one, everybody loved Eric Costmer on the Royals. Everybody
loved them with the Padres, So, by all accounts, good guy,
great teammate. As far as his podcast goes, it does
come across a little douchey. But as far as what
he's alleging that Sazaki has on his fingers, obviously it's
not helping him throw strikes. So what's the point of that.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
I don't know. Everybody likes having a podcast these days, Dave, I.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
Know, I get so that's the most offensive thing you
could say to me, is I love your podcast. It's
not a podcast. Our shows are consumed on a podcast.
But we do live radio shows.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Right, that's exactly right.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
Sure, we'll get your shinebox.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
You get it. So when is Freddy eligible to play
again ten days?
Speaker 8 (28:53):
Yes, Well it's retroactive, so he could come back when
the Dodgers return home. It is retroactive because he hadn't
played in a couple of games. You hear that voice,
it's John su who in the background getting ready to
snapshot of sho hey o tani everywhere he goes, Well,
tell you hell, I will Freddie's Freddy's eligible to come
(29:14):
off when the Dodgers return home. And just to set
the scene for you, here at Citizens Bank Park, it
is cloudy. There's only two percent chance of rain, so
we're going to be in the clear tonight for the game.
And Nick Castianos, the slugger outfielder for the Phillies, took
betting practice in a Pinocchio tank top.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Did he lose a bet?
Speaker 8 (29:37):
Not sure you could pull that off.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Pinocchio is considered to be good luck in Italian culture.
Perhaps he's.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
All right, well, well let's say a yeah. It is
an Italian type of city. Here, a lot of Italians here.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Congratulations, Dave, a lot of sausage heads.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Have a good one, Dave, and we'll be back, David Masse.
He'll be on Morocco Casino, Dodgers on deck, Dodgers undefeated,
taking on the Philadelphia Phillies, and we'll return with your
dad and a live guy. Birthday of the Day in
the very next segment. We got to keep on moving
(30:18):
because we are off early because the Dodgers are in
the very Italian city of Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
I'll tell you it was off early that people that
normally occupy this spot.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Some would say they've been off for a long time
for a while. Thanks for listening, everybody. It's a Frogman
Friday on your Home of the Dodgers a M five
(30:50):
seventy LA Sports Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app Petro
sand Money, also known as Great Sports Talk. You can
follow us or listen live or stream it or listen
later on the podcast on the app. But don't say
we do a podcast. We do an over the air
(31:12):
radio show where we manage the clock and the clock
is set back tonight.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, it's live, man. We're doing live stuff, man.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Dude, because the Dodgers are in Philadelphia and that's what's
going on. David Vass with some good information about Freddy
Freeman in the last segment and predicting more losses at
some point. Matt, I believe you have the dead guy
birthday of the day today.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I do what a great one. We love Quickset Schleg
Baldwin and Yale the Yale Lock Company is your security
and cylinder lock show of record. What a day of celebration.
Happy it would have been two hundred and fourth. Linus
Yale Junior born in Salisbury, New York, home the most
(32:00):
delicious cut of beef. His ancestors were the benefactors.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Is a cut or is it a style of service?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I believe it is a mutt of a cut of meat.
His ancestor, Thomas Yale, is the namesake and benefactor of
the well known university locks. Were in the family business.
His father, line of Senior, open to lockshop in eighteen
forty in Newport, New York, specialized in bank locks. Dad
invented and specialized inexpensive handmade bank locks and had eight patents.
(32:31):
After trying the school thing, Junior got bored and just said,
effort man, I'm rolling with you, pops, And like his
dad was darn good at it, introduced some revolutionary locks
that utilized permutations and cylinders. In eighteen fifty seven he
broke out on his own established the Yale and green
Leaf Lock Company. I don't know if it broke his
dad's heart, but Dad would die less than a year later,
(32:52):
so Junior absorbed his business into his own.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Are you alleging that he broke his father's I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
You know, he's like dad. Then dad was like no,
then he was dead. Yale created one of the first
modern locks that used a pin tumbler design, and still
today the pin tumbler design plays a significant role in
locks and safes. Yale was convinced that keyholes in traditional
locks made the locks more vulnerable, susceptible to thieves who
(33:20):
could use picks or gunpowder, explosives, or heat. So he
used a permanent dial and a shaft design in his inventions.
We call them combination locks today. He invented that they
were so successful that he was regularly invited to exhibit
his designs at each and all of the world fare stops.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Here, try to get in this door. Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
It's funny you mentioned that, because that was what he
would do. So, like back then, there's all these bank
robberies and locks aren't working, And so he took on
the other big companies, Hobbs and Newell, and he would
show their locks, and then he would show his lock,
and the Hobbs and the new people were like pushing back.
He's like, go ahead, and trying to pick it. I
just picked yours poop and they couldn't do it. So
(34:05):
everybody started.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Using sack hobbs.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
And you do too, knewle The US Treasury was all
about Yale. They used Yale for everything the US meant,
the sub Treasury, the custom houses, American Express, b and
y all married three kids. P he's kicking ass, he's
making money and what's he doing? A survey of the
famous Equitable Building on Broadway in eighteen sixty eight and
Bang drops out of a heart attack at forty seven. Bummer,
(34:30):
great beard, piercing eyes, National Inventors Hall of Fame Security
personified line is Yale Junior.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
But no connection with the university.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
And well ancestor. But he did not go now. He
dropped out of school I think when he was eleven
or twelve to go work for dead.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Seems like a kind of an engineering type, a little.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Bit more of a blue collar man, a tinkerer that
maybe a little more than a tinkerer with all the patents.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
I guess this guy's named after a two. It's Jamaican news.
It's Jamaica news. Zig Bros. Doing wouldn't find Blistmas.
Speaker 9 (35:10):
Not to be confused with Pinchers, who I love Today,
we celebrate Plyers. Ah Plyers aka Everton Bonner around sixty
two years old today, who I also love Flyers who
(35:31):
named himself after Pinchers, who's another famous reggae star because
of his similar pie voice style and delivery. Plyers is
one of three very famous Jamaican singing brothers. Ritchie Spice
is the youngest, Spanner Banner is the oldest, and Plyers
(35:53):
is the middle brother. His name used to be Blues Melody,
after another famous Jamaican artist who calls himself Singing Melody,
but it turns out that Pliers is bigger than Pitchers,
Singing Melody, Spanner Banner or Richie Spice. Why because of
(36:14):
his extremely gigantic crossover collaboration with Shaka Dimas, creating the
reggae dancehall dynamic duo Shaka Dimas and Plyers. They were
both established at the time as reggae artists, but in
(36:39):
nineteen ninety one they teamed up and it spawned Murder
She wrote, produced by Sly and Robbie, a big reggae hit,
and then a follow up, Tease Me, also a big
hit for them. Shaka d and Plyers have made twelve albums.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
That many I have.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Had about five in my lifetime. Well, they had a
couple before the first one broke, and Plyers never had
real solo success except for the song that he did
that created this song. He did a song called Bam Bam,
(37:22):
which is a cover of the Toots of the May
Tolls song, and that song, to the same rhythm became
a big hit. And Chakada and him worked together with
Slie Robbie and that created Murder she wrote, and there
you go. This is bomb Bam by a Pliers. Beyonce,
(37:46):
Kanye West, and fifty cent have all sampled Plyer's voice.
Crossover sensation Shaka Demus and Plyers Beautiful. Now there's also
a guy that calls himself Master Plyers. He used to
call himself Junior Plyers, but now he's an adult Master Plyers,
(38:10):
and he's got a similar delivery, and he is a
Ugandan artist. But he is named after Plyers. Why would
any Jamaican name themselves after I mean, well, I guess
we had mc hammer. I mean, you know he's named
after a tool. Yeah, and Jim Hacks Duggan's who I
(38:40):
guess it's not that, you know, I guess it's just
weird to have you know, Plyers, So what do you
call yourself?
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Pars? That's very very valuable tool. It does a lot.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
And so are Pinchers, right, you know, now pinchers. He
calls himself Pinchers. But his theme was like a West
Stern cowboy theme and he would often perform in a
big sombrero and a poncho.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
So Chaka D. So is this Chaka Demas was a DJ, right,
it was.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Well, you'd call him a DJ, but he's like a yeah,
like a rapper. Yeah, and so is Plyers. They just
have very different styles.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Okay, So like a DJ jazzy Jeff and the Fresh
Prince kind of com.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
No, no, the DJ was actually Sly and Robbie, right,
and that's a base and drum duo. But Chaka Dimas
is like ten years older maybe than Plyers. Like Chaka
D's been around a long time and he picked up
the young sing jay Plyers and they became stars together. Matt,
(39:43):
we still have a lot of dishes to wash.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Well not really. We have one meaty meat segment we
have yet to do. You're a dead and a live guy.
Birth I'm Sorry, we have yet to do your word
number and song, so we'll get that in the next segment.
But our first East Coast trip for the Dodgers really
kind of thrown us off a little bit. There was
the replay of the games in Japan which threw us
(40:06):
off a little bit as well.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Corrections and retractions, Matt, chock Ademas and Pliers are about
the same age. Chocka Demus just looks incredibly old.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Yeah, chock a Demus if I remember right in my mind,
so weathered, yeh, very bloated and weathered.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Yeah. First name John, last name Taylor.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
John Taylor. You know what I'm gonna go by, Choka Demus.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Chock a demas well, chocka Demus because named after the
great reggae star Nicodemus. Of course.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Well call me the ice or the Iceberg.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
We'll be right back with your final hour fun fact

That means a Dodgers on deck at two thirty PM,
so we're here for ninety minutes. We got clippers on
our sister station, AM eleven fifty. They're hosting the Dallas Mavericks.
That tip off is at seven thirty, but the Dodger
talk and potential extension of a game a little too close,
so they will be kicked up the dial to the
progressive is the new mainstream. Sometimes you just gotta laugh.
(01:46):
AM eleven fifty, Eagle, Eagle, this is a very specific
shade of gold on my private plane. AM eleven fifty.

so we're sorry that there'll be a lack of great
(02:34):
sports talk. But there was a full show yesterday, and
I guess before we get to anything that happened yesterday.
Today we should continue to set the table because, as
you know, it is a frogman Friday Man Frogman Frogmen
frog Man prog man. The ocean is a mighty harmonist frogman.
(03:04):
That's as money Show celebrates the salty Brownie Sea. Every

You guessed it, the Caspian Sea. What is the largest
lake in North America? Lake Superior, Titty kaka North America
(03:34):
tas a hot Beavis, how to do it? We also
celebrate the great Mike Nelson characters celebrated here played by
Lloyd Bridges in Seaha.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Let's have a go with that crazy fish week up
this morning.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
For sure, the fish looked like good eating, but it
made a deadly breakfast. It was to have a weird
effect on these two friends of mine. I thought that
I had no part in their affairs that morning, Yet
within a few hours, because of that fish, they both
tried to kill me.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Jesus uh Todd Lights thirteen to five. What are you nuts?
We still got to take that brdom man. You know
what that's like these days?
Speaker 5 (04:23):
You got the Navy everywhere, you got frogmen, you got
the e C two's with the satellite tracking, you got
the bell two nine of salt choppers up the ass.
We're losing one out of every nine loads. That's no
dunk walk anymore. Let me tell you, forget about money.
What do you suggest that's reasonable.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Let's try that crazy fish deed a rule everybody.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Oh boy, oh bosh, annoyers, the AMMO is gonna bitch tonight.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
But Matt, speaking of yesterday, as we were discussing many
things yesterday in our long show. Uh, first, I'd like
to know if if there's a follow up on our
Zenschi sushi party from yesterday and he fall anything happened,
Kate's you hear anything?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
No, I got something. I got something.
Speaker 7 (06:04):
I didn't hear anything.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I got this email. You got this email as well,
but you didn't reply to it because you. I don't
believe in your nineteen years here have ever checked your
work email yet it still exists.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Well that's not true. I might, I might when I
first got there. I think I checked it the first
couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
There you go, first couple of weeks, unteen, you can give.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Me my couple of weeks. Don't you dare short me?
This came from we were emailed. We were emailed? Was
Kate's on the email? Yes, Kate, how come you said
there's no fallout? Then?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
I must have missed the email. I must have missed it.
I even replied to.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
The email, oh did you Yeah, Jim who said we
worked a little risk k that's attacked verbally. Let yesterday,
well he attacked us in front of Debbie. Guys, thank
you for coming up and saying hi to Deborah. I
know she really likes it when she gets to talk
to the team. Meetings like the one we had today
(07:14):
go a long way. Thanks again, Jim. No fallout, no
fallout now, as you know, thanks to you never checking
your email and Tim Kats, who was probably drunk by
the time he read it. Celebrating his birthday out there
at Don Kuko's. I wrote, that's all a thing for you.
(07:36):
It really is. Yeah, it really is, wrote in response
to everybody. I hit reply all So Tim, you should
have gotten this email as well. We had a blast
up there, Jim. Thanks a blast We had a blast
up there, Jim, period. Thanks all right, So we're we're
(08:01):
in the clear. I think we're good.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Then there's the other follow up.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Nobody in our office listens to our show.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah, it's cool, it's great. There's the other follow up
where we had the tart that was bought by Colin
Yee for Tim Kats's birthday and it was torn to
pieces by a feral animal as known as Steffouche, the
(08:32):
board operating engineer for the Tim Conway Junior Show on KFI.
The follow up on Steffush is there's a photo if
you want to see what he looks like.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Did you post it on the Petro some Money?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I posted it today nice at Petros and Money. It's
a picture of Steffush eating Kates's happy Birthday name plate.
It's that was also made chocolate. And I got to
say I went over there and I complained loudly on
Conway's show during our break where he was sitting with
(09:06):
Mark Thompson and two directly two Staffouche and Sharon in
their studio and in their control room. I complained that
they ate all of Kate's cake. None of us got
any sweet tooth, blackmore got nothing. Kate's only got a
(09:27):
sliver of cake on his for his own cake on
his birthday. And there was no remorse, no shame, none,
just a smile and laugh from Staffs himself. Yeah. Just
a hard guy not to like, now you I mean
just I mean he doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
A hard guyde not to like, or a hard guy
too like.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
He's he's a hard guy not too like. He's a
likable man, right, And yes he eats all our food
like a shop pack, but it's not like he does
it in secret or in some clandestine way. He's like
a dog that climbs up on the dining room table
and just starts eating the food.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
And whose fault is it for leaving the food out?
Speaker 7 (10:06):
So you say it's my fault for leaving the cake out.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yes, you put that cake in a spot where Stefush's
sniffer could seek it.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
If you would have brought it down to you know,
and put it like in the studio with you and
Ronnie Steffusche would have found it. He would have popped
his head in there and been like so what he'd
have gotten up for grabs or.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
But it wouldn't have been out in the open for
him to massacre out out in the open field of work.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
He walked into your studio when you guys were on
the air to make hot dogs. Yes, he was fully enough.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Way, Well I was hot dog day, you know. I
mean it was hot dog day, you know what.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
And I hate that argument. My wife uses it all
the time. The dog eats something, Well, you shouldn't have
left it out there for the door. It's my fault,
it is, well, the dog's fault.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I'm not I'm not directly blaming anybody. I'm just saying,
I mean, we are learning a lesson here that there
is a monster that lives with us and work and
he will eat everything. He will I mean, and it's
new to us. You know, it's not like this guy's
been working here for twenty years like we have. You know,
(11:14):
it's new to us that if something is left out
and that's something is edible, this guy's gonna eat it
now on more than one occasion. That's a good thing, right, Matt,
Like we don't want you know, we always share our
food and we'd like somebody to eat hot dog day.
Eat all the hot dogs you can's to foosh.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
It's great until the boss comes in a little bit
later and it's like Hey, I'd like one of them dogs.
And you're like, oh boyt foush, don'e eate them all? Yeah,
and now we gotta send Ronnie across Ronny Street to
get some more dogs and buns. So we run one
for a boss man Zipline across up. I do and
I and I'm gonna push back on you cats. I
think there is something too if you if you live
(11:55):
with a dog and the wife and you know that
the dog is going to eat food if you leave
it out. It's a dog. It can't help itself.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Right, It's like the campground. The bear is gonna come
and slap your head off.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Steffusus p mentioned is a feral animal. Yeah, you leave
it out, he's gonna eat it. You cannot leave a
glorious Porto's probably somewhere in the neighborhood a fifty to
eighty dollars fruit tart the size of a bowling ball
in diameter in the Kfi area. Well, you know what's
gonna We knew he'd eat hot dogs.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
We knew that he'd We didn't know that he lacked
such humanity that he would just eat somebody's own birth
Take Matt.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
You always talk about it. The radio things stay left
out for decades. You could leave something out spams and
it'll be there when you come back in five years.
Not anymore, No, not because there's a human vacuum that
will eat it.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
It's amazing. I just there is a photo of him
if you want to see what he looks like.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
It's a great photo.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
And there's a photo of him eating Kates's chocolate name plate,
which is just amazing.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
That was my dessert last night. By that, I was
looking forward to having that piece of little chocolate with
my name on there and everything.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
No remorse, no shame, just a smile and a hearty laugh.
And I went down and I yelled at Conway about it,
and on my way out this is all I heard.
Conway said, you know, it's crazy how petros is. I
was wearing sweats and Mark Thompson goes, that's right. As
an athlete, they don't like Jesus Christ. You guys ate
(13:32):
all of our cake. And it was an unfortunate thing.
But beyond the.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Foosh just start his Twitter feed yesterday.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I don't know. That's what it was said to me,
The stuffoosh.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
That was the Twitter tip won following in zero followers.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah, that was the one that was sent to me
by Sharon.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Well, all I can focus on is the amount of
fruit tart on that plate, Like think about sliver. Steffush
has got at least four servings of fruit target.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I'm going to be honest. I didn't meet anybody else
that ate any of Kates's cake other than Kates and Steffouche.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
I did a fourth floor roll call. I went around
and asked people, Ronnie, Brian blackmore, folks of Kafie and
the newsroom. They're still there. I said, Hey, did you
guys have the fruitcake? No, not, even though it was there.
Is there any left? I said, no, there's none left. Sorry.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I mean, I think you get a lot of information
here on the Petrosten Muddy Show about office endeavors and
things like that. But I think we're learning a valuable
lesson about, you know, leaving food out, especially food that
maybe somebody might want to eat at a certain point
that it can no longer happen, not on this guy's watch,
because he's going to come around and he's going to
(14:50):
eat it, and he's not going to be shamed out
of eating it by being made fun of in person,
on the air, on We've attacked him on multiple platforms
arms and it hasn't stopped him from eating the food.
And I had, and in some ways I admire it,
but it was kind of a depressing birthday for cakes.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
Here's the other thing. And I told doctor.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
The doctor told him he was a mess. He comes
here and there's a nice cake for him, and then
and then he has to do Dodger talk and and
then has to like sprint over to Don Cucko's and
drown his sorrows and indigestion. Is that accurate to him?
It is?
Speaker 7 (15:31):
And here's the other thing I don't appreciate. I love
calling ye, what did you do? And I love the
fact that he brought on his off day, right, a
fruit tart cake. I don't need people coming in on
social media saying who buys a fruitcake? Okay, you get
a normal cake, Where's a chocolate where's a vanilla cake?
(15:51):
How about a Tristleitche's cake from Porthos? A fruitcake? And
I'm not taking that all right? Well, Colin did it
on his own. It was grateful for doing it.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Yeah, I know one guy that appreciated the fruit Cake
the fusher. Yeah, oh he love the fus.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Freaking fusher.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I don't even know his real name.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Oh that's not his real name, Stuffuh No, his name's like.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Staph, it's caffuch.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
I have no clue.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
No, his name is not stuff blues or whatever. Cast No,
it's like his name is Stephen Cabasas Jack Stephens, No Jack,
stefanovitch Jack. His name is h Cabasas And that might
(16:41):
be a Twitter moniker just because he.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Means giant head.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
But yeah, look at him, Look at him.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It is a giant head.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Look at him attacking Kate's's name plate. That's the best.
It's his happy birthday too. Oh and another follow up
from Yes, I told you that Ja Morant long gun
shotgun celebration was gonna get him in trouble. He did
it again last night, and then the vampire freaking find
(17:10):
him seventy five thousand dollars. And now everybody else on
Twitter is showing pictures of Lebron acting like he's got
a nine, putting a clip into it and cocking them.
Everybody's showing all these gun celebrations in the NBA. They're
gonna make it illegal, like the wiping of your nose
in the NFL match.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Well, as long as they allow us, as long as
they allow us to snort the third base line, and
we don't get that, baby, we had to apologize for that.
You shouldn't have apologized. You should have said, I don't
give a damn I'm gonna snort that line.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Listen, I'm I'm drawn a line of cocaine.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
You would live if you were John Morant. I mean,
I guess you're making whatever, forty million bucks a year,
but like, I don't care if I'm making forty million
bucks a year, I'm gonna go ahead and come up
with a different celebration so I don't have to scratch
out no, a thousand dollars check. I'm just not gonna
do it.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I must hold my long gun and shoot it at
the opposing bench.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I'm gonna do this Sam Cassell Big Ball Dance.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
It feels like it would be less offensive at this point.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
Exactly what's the NFL one they just banned that you
can't like sniff your finger or something of that because
it's morrelated.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Why Why do I even speak? Why am I even here?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
You know what? I'm glad staffuchiate your cake, I'm kidding,
or scuff fusha are you or Steph Stefanovitch it's Stefan.
I found out it's Stefan Stefan.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yes, that's his first name. Copy that and his last
name is cut Bezos. Yes see he's right. Yeah, who.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Talk about having a name that really does? I mean,
you know they say that the name was a description
of your job, and I mean his family lineage is hey,
this family's got some jack kids. We're just gonna call
him heads.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
Sharon Bellio text me his name and I said, maybe
it's a time to change it to Steve.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I like skaffouche with a k.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
See I thought it was stef so did I And
then no, it's not anyway. You know what. David Vassay
is in Philadelphia. He's going to join us next. He's
a lot happier. He didn't have a depressing, tequila soaked birthday.
He had dinner with Eric Carros.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
And he has a gall bladder.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
You know, it's a low blow, man, You know that.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
It was really it was horrible. You're right, kids, but
it's not your birthday anymore.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
My birthday weekend, Well, Narcolepsi Nick calling you out for
being drunk on your birthday.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Yeah, stay with us, everybody. We're happy to be on
so early, fifty years at full speed, and the Accura
Grand Prix of Long Beach is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary
and next weekend Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, April eleventh through
(20:13):
the thirteenth, they'll be in town. It is the.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Accura Grand Prix of Long Beach. Tickets are available at
GPLB dot com.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Live from Philadelphia after a bet paid off to Eric
Carros in the form of a fine East Coast dinner
I'm sure at a great restaurant. It's time for David Vasse,
the Home of the Dogdays with an inside look at
(20:43):
the Dodgers. This is the vass Report with David Vasse, Dodgers,
Phillies coming up, Dodgers on Decade two thirty. That's why
we're on so early. David Vasse is in Philly and
Yamamoto is pitching tonight. Enjoy the game on AM fire
seventy because, like we said, it's on Apple. If you
don't have Apple TV, you need a M five seventy.
(21:07):
David Vassay's on the Southern California tell you to do
the Celebrity Hotline, the most celebrated reporter in the world.
How was the dinner, Dave?
Speaker 8 (21:15):
It was great. It was fifteen of us. Eric Carros
was the guest to our usual group dinner, some of
the Trainers clubhouse staff. We were all there and Eric
Carros was unaware that the Dodgers' all time saves leader
treated us to dinner. Kenley Jansen, an off night for
(21:35):
the Angels, took care of his old pals, and Carros
feels like I still owe him a dinner because I
didn't pay, but I feel like I feel like we're even.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
No, I mean still dinner day.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Yeah, you still aw him at dinner. You can't glom
on a fifteen person long ass.
Speaker 8 (21:53):
Damn he globbed on.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
So what happened to Freddie Freeman, Dave? What happened between
yesterday and the last couple days with his ankle? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (22:04):
Well, number one, what happened is the Dodgers are eight
to er right, and they're playing really well even when
Freddy is not able to play, So they just wanted
to be extra cautious. They have the luxury of an
eight to no start and really good players on their
team that they can absorb not having Freddie Freeman play
for the next ten days. And Freddy didn't even make
(22:26):
the trip to the East Coast, so the Dodgers did
not want him to fly cross country. The weather was
supposed to be unpredictable, rainy, cold here in Philly and
in Washington, DC. It's unfortunate Freddy won't be able to
join his teammates at the White House because they're doing
that on Monday. But that just comes with the territory.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
So what do we think, Dave? Is this something that'll
be evaluated day to day. Is it revisit it in
a week? Is it serious enough since it was a
prior injury that seemed pretty bad in the postseason a month.
Like what, I know, I don't want to ask you
to play here, but like, what do you think?
Speaker 8 (23:02):
Yeah, from what I saw at Dodger Stadium when he
was going through those agility drills before I spoke to
you guys, it looked like, you know, it looked like
his right ankle wasn't as stable as he was trying
to convince the trainers that it was. So I just
I just believe the Dodgers training staff and Andrew Friedman
(23:24):
want to play it super cautious and there's no need
to rush him back. So Freddy told us that it
wasn't a major setback when he fell and reaggravated that
right ankle, and you have to take him at his word.
He's always going to want to play. But he was
still in great spirits when I last saw him at
Dodger Stadium. But I'm sure he's not in a good
(23:44):
mood being told that he's going on the ten dayil
and he's not coming on this road trip and he's
not playing for a few games. So the Dodgers are
just being cautious, and like it's been expressed to me,
they had that luxury with the roster they have, and
with the eight to zero start there, they're off to.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
How long will they remain? Will they will you leave
the City of Brotherly Love with the Dodgers perfect record intact, Dave,
I don't.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
Believe so, Petros. I believe the Dodgers take two out
of three here in Philly, but I believe they lose
probably tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
And then Snell will rescue them with his start.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
No, Snell's not pitching in this series. I just saw
my guy Snell Zilla he's going out there to throw
get ready for his next start in the nation's capital.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Well, you mentioned tomorrow a loss. Incredibly insensitive of you
because it's the Rocky Sosaki start to gave what rough
go it's been so far? Like, like, how important does
that start tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Right?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I mean it's four and two thirds over two star
four and a third maybe even over two starts? Like
what against a pretty darn good lineup? Like, what are
we looking at for tomorrow?
Speaker 8 (24:59):
Well, I first and foremost, the Dodgers want him to
throw strikes. They don't want to see twenty eight pitch innings,
they don't want to see forty one pitch innings, and
they don't want to see walks, And that's how he's
going to be judged if they hit the ball. I
believe that the Dodgers could live with that more than
him walking guys and getting into major trouble and getting
(25:19):
the pitch count up and really putting their bullpen at
the start of a road trip in a bad spot.
So for me, that's essential for Sazaki. And look, even
if it doesn't go well or they feel like he
needs more seasoning. I don't believe they're going to send
him to Oklahoma City to make starts. I could see
them sending him to camel Back Ranch and working with
(25:42):
the pitching staff there and the pitching lab over there
to work out whatever they believe he needs to get
better at. And for Rochi, you know, like I mentioned
a few times, you get the feeling that he's a
subborn kid. He believes in the way he pitches. But
when you fail the way he has the first couple
of starts here, he's got to be able to be
(26:02):
more open to the Dodgers' ideas.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
David vasse at the real underscore DV holding it down
in Philadelphia like his hero Rocky Balboa, one of his
favorite cities to go to. You can hear how excited
he is in his voice, Dave. If the Dodgers have vulnerabilities,
what are.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
They defense tonight? They got Miguel Rojas playing third. We
saw Muncie make a couple of errors there. That's not
the reason why he's sitting. He's sitting because Lozardo, Jesus
Lozardo is one of the best lefties in the league.
So that's why they have Rojas at third, and when
you have Mookie Betts and Max Munsey on the left
side of your infield, you got a guy that's a
(26:46):
gold glove right fielder learning a new position that really
hasn't looked comfortable when he's had to make plays. So
that part of the equation concerns me. And their outfield
defense has been, I would say spotty at times. So
if there is if you're going to pick apart this team,
(27:06):
it would be their defense. And the Phillies were here
in batting practice trying to put the ball in play.
That's to me, the way to beat this Dodger team.
Forced them to make plays, force their outfielders to go right, left,
north south to try to see if they can make plays,
And to me, that's the only way you're going to
beat the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Last one for me, Dave, I don't know if you
saw it. I don't know what you think of the guy.
I've heard maybe he's a bit of an a hole,
but for whatever reason, maybe he's still loyal to the
Padres even though they tried to trade him a bunch
and he had that no trade thing going. But Hosmer
suggested that Rokie's got stuff on his hands in a
post and that's not cool man. The kids already dealing
(27:49):
with enough. Did you happen to see that? Ab? What
have you heard about Hosmer? Bad guy, douchebag, good guy?
And has anybody brought that up at all?
Speaker 8 (28:00):
Number one, everybody loved Eric Costmer on the Royals. Everybody
loved them with the Padres, So, by all accounts, good guy,
great teammate. As far as his podcast goes, it does
come across a little douchey. But as far as what
he's alleging that Sazaki has on his fingers, obviously it's
not helping him throw strikes. So what's the point of that.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
I don't know. Everybody likes having a podcast these days, Dave, I.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
Know, I get so that's the most offensive thing you
could say to me, is I love your podcast. It's
not a podcast. Our shows are consumed on a podcast.
But we do live radio shows.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Right, that's exactly right.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
Sure, we'll get your shinebox.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
You get it. So when is Freddy eligible to play
again ten days?
Speaker 8 (28:53):
Yes, Well it's retroactive, so he could come back when
the Dodgers return home. It is retroactive because he hadn't
played in a couple of games. You hear that voice,
it's John su who in the background getting ready to
snapshot of sho hey o tani everywhere he goes, Well,
tell you hell, I will Freddie's Freddy's eligible to come
(29:14):
off when the Dodgers return home. And just to set
the scene for you, here at Citizens Bank Park, it
is cloudy. There's only two percent chance of rain, so
we're going to be in the clear tonight for the game.
And Nick Castianos, the slugger outfielder for the Phillies, took
betting practice in a Pinocchio tank top.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Did he lose a bet?
Speaker 8 (29:37):
Not sure you could pull that off.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Pinocchio is considered to be good luck in Italian culture.
Perhaps he's.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
All right, well, well let's say a yeah. It is
an Italian type of city. Here, a lot of Italians here.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Congratulations, Dave, a lot of sausage heads.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Have a good one, Dave, and we'll be back, David Masse.
He'll be on Morocco Casino, Dodgers on deck, Dodgers undefeated,
taking on the Philadelphia Phillies, and we'll return with your
dad and a live guy. Birthday of the Day in
the very next segment. We got to keep on moving
(30:18):
because we are off early because the Dodgers are in
the very Italian city of Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
I'll tell you it was off early that people that
normally occupy this spot.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Some would say they've been off for a long time
for a while. Thanks for listening, everybody. It's a Frogman
Friday on your Home of the Dodgers a M five
(30:50):
seventy LA Sports Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app Petro
sand Money, also known as Great Sports Talk. You can
follow us or listen live or stream it or listen
later on the podcast on the app. But don't say
we do a podcast. We do an over the air
(31:12):
radio show where we manage the clock and the clock
is set back tonight.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, it's live, man. We're doing live stuff, man.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Dude, because the Dodgers are in Philadelphia and that's what's
going on. David Vass with some good information about Freddy
Freeman in the last segment and predicting more losses at
some point. Matt, I believe you have the dead guy
birthday of the day today.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I do what a great one. We love Quickset Schleg
Baldwin and Yale the Yale Lock Company is your security
and cylinder lock show of record. What a day of celebration.
Happy it would have been two hundred and fourth. Linus
Yale Junior born in Salisbury, New York, home the most
(32:00):
delicious cut of beef. His ancestors were the benefactors.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Is a cut or is it a style of service?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I believe it is a mutt of a cut of meat.
His ancestor, Thomas Yale, is the namesake and benefactor of
the well known university locks. Were in the family business.
His father, line of Senior, open to lockshop in eighteen
forty in Newport, New York, specialized in bank locks. Dad
invented and specialized inexpensive handmade bank locks and had eight patents.
(32:31):
After trying the school thing, Junior got bored and just said,
effort man, I'm rolling with you, pops, And like his
dad was darn good at it, introduced some revolutionary locks
that utilized permutations and cylinders. In eighteen fifty seven he
broke out on his own established the Yale and green
Leaf Lock Company. I don't know if it broke his
dad's heart, but Dad would die less than a year later,
(32:52):
so Junior absorbed his business into his own.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Are you alleging that he broke his father's I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
You know, he's like dad. Then dad was like no,
then he was dead. Yale created one of the first
modern locks that used a pin tumbler design, and still
today the pin tumbler design plays a significant role in
locks and safes. Yale was convinced that keyholes in traditional
locks made the locks more vulnerable, susceptible to thieves who
(33:20):
could use picks or gunpowder, explosives, or heat. So he
used a permanent dial and a shaft design in his inventions.
We call them combination locks today. He invented that they
were so successful that he was regularly invited to exhibit
his designs at each and all of the world fare stops.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Here, try to get in this door. Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
It's funny you mentioned that, because that was what he
would do. So, like back then, there's all these bank
robberies and locks aren't working, And so he took on
the other big companies, Hobbs and Newell, and he would
show their locks, and then he would show his lock,
and the Hobbs and the new people were like pushing back.
He's like, go ahead, and trying to pick it. I
just picked yours poop and they couldn't do it. So
(34:05):
everybody started.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Using sack hobbs.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
And you do too, knewle The US Treasury was all
about Yale. They used Yale for everything the US meant,
the sub Treasury, the custom houses, American Express, b and
y all married three kids. P he's kicking ass, he's
making money and what's he doing? A survey of the
famous Equitable Building on Broadway in eighteen sixty eight and
Bang drops out of a heart attack at forty seven. Bummer,
(34:30):
great beard, piercing eyes, National Inventors Hall of Fame Security
personified line is Yale Junior.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
But no connection with the university.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
And well ancestor. But he did not go now. He
dropped out of school I think when he was eleven
or twelve to go work for dead.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Seems like a kind of an engineering type, a little.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Bit more of a blue collar man, a tinkerer that
maybe a little more than a tinkerer with all the patents.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
I guess this guy's named after a two. It's Jamaican news.
It's Jamaica news. Zig Bros. Doing wouldn't find Blistmas.
Speaker 9 (35:10):
Not to be confused with Pinchers, who I love Today,
we celebrate Plyers. Ah Plyers aka Everton Bonner around sixty
two years old today, who I also love Flyers who
(35:31):
named himself after Pinchers, who's another famous reggae star because
of his similar pie voice style and delivery. Plyers is
one of three very famous Jamaican singing brothers. Ritchie Spice
is the youngest, Spanner Banner is the oldest, and Plyers
(35:53):
is the middle brother. His name used to be Blues Melody,
after another famous Jamaican artist who calls himself Singing Melody,
but it turns out that Pliers is bigger than Pitchers,
Singing Melody, Spanner Banner or Richie Spice. Why because of
(36:14):
his extremely gigantic crossover collaboration with Shaka Dimas, creating the
reggae dancehall dynamic duo Shaka Dimas and Plyers. They were
both established at the time as reggae artists, but in
(36:39):
nineteen ninety one they teamed up and it spawned Murder
She wrote, produced by Sly and Robbie, a big reggae hit,
and then a follow up, Tease Me, also a big
hit for them. Shaka d and Plyers have made twelve albums.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
That many I have.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Had about five in my lifetime. Well, they had a
couple before the first one broke, and Plyers never had
real solo success except for the song that he did
that created this song. He did a song called Bam Bam,
(37:22):
which is a cover of the Toots of the May
Tolls song, and that song, to the same rhythm became
a big hit. And Chakada and him worked together with
Slie Robbie and that created Murder she wrote, and there
you go. This is bomb Bam by a Pliers. Beyonce,
(37:46):
Kanye West, and fifty cent have all sampled Plyer's voice.
Crossover sensation Shaka Demus and Plyers Beautiful. Now there's also
a guy that calls himself Master Plyers. He used to
call himself Junior Plyers, but now he's an adult Master Plyers,
(38:10):
and he's got a similar delivery, and he is a
Ugandan artist. But he is named after Plyers. Why would
any Jamaican name themselves after I mean, well, I guess
we had mc hammer. I mean, you know he's named
after a tool. Yeah, and Jim Hacks Duggan's who I
(38:40):
guess it's not that, you know, I guess it's just
weird to have you know, Plyers, So what do you
call yourself?
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Pars? That's very very valuable tool. It does a lot.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
And so are Pinchers, right, you know, now pinchers. He
calls himself Pinchers. But his theme was like a West
Stern cowboy theme and he would often perform in a
big sombrero and a poncho.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
So Chaka D. So is this Chaka Demas was a DJ, right,
it was.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Well, you'd call him a DJ, but he's like a yeah,
like a rapper. Yeah, and so is Plyers. They just
have very different styles.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Okay, So like a DJ jazzy Jeff and the Fresh
Prince kind of com.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
No, no, the DJ was actually Sly and Robbie, right,
and that's a base and drum duo. But Chaka Dimas
is like ten years older maybe than Plyers. Like Chaka
D's been around a long time and he picked up
the young sing jay Plyers and they became stars together. Matt,
(39:43):
we still have a lot of dishes to wash.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Well not really. We have one meaty meat segment we
have yet to do. You're a dead and a live guy.
Birth I'm Sorry, we have yet to do your word
number and song, so we'll get that in the next segment.
But our first East Coast trip for the Dodgers really
kind of thrown us off a little bit. There was
the replay of the games in Japan which threw us
(40:06):
off a little bit as well.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Corrections and retractions, Matt, chock Ademas and Pliers are about
the same age. Chocka Demus just looks incredibly old.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Yeah, chock a Demus if I remember right in my mind,
so weathered, yeh, very bloated and weathered.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Yeah. First name John, last name Taylor.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
John Taylor. You know what I'm gonna go by, Choka Demus.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Chock a demas well, chocka Demus because named after the
great reggae star Nicodemus. Of course.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Well call me the ice or the Iceberg.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
We'll be right back with your final hour fun fact
