Game one of the twenty twenty five World Series is
tomorrow here on am FI seventy LA Sports. From the
field to the work site. Strauss powers our World Series
coverage on A five seventy LA Sports. So proud we
(01:46):
are to be with Strauss. First pitch at five oh
eight Blake Snell on the mound for the Dodgers in
Game one. It is very exciting. We're freaking out about it.
It's like an international affair, and it's not like an
international affair. It is an international affairs. The Blue Jays
(02:07):
are obviously Canadian. They're the only team in Canada now,
so the entire country is going to rally behind the
Blue Jays. Are there more people in LA than there
are in Canada? I think there are. Really What is
the population of Canada, kates to a man, what is
the population?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Toronto's pretty big, Vancouver's pretty big.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I mean you think those cities are big, and then
you think about LA and LA just swing to giant
hammer Bootzel.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
As of twenty twenty four, the population of Canada was
forty one million.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Forty one million. How many live in California.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
California has got thirty nine point four million.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Damn these producers shows. I'll see if Baseball ninety six.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
But I'll tell you something that California doesn't have that
Canada has. Tim Hortons, don't.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I heard you with Steve Sacks this morning. Okay, great
Tim Horton's donuts. Tim Hortons is like a breakfast Denny's
kind of place.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
It Tim Hortons in the United States though, Okay, are there? Yeah,
I've seen one.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I tried ordering donuts today and I could not find
a location.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
In California or anywhere.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
I searched California. Then I cast a bigger web. I
swear I've seen it. Tim Hortons.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Correction and retractions. You see that. That's what McClain does.
You come in with great information and you think you
got it all figured out, Kates, and then you take
it a step too far. Yep, And McClain asked you
a question like, oh, is that the only state song
for Colorado? And it sends you reeling on air. Because
the worst thing in the world for an on air
person is to not know the answer to an honest
(03:50):
question that somebody asked you. And that's what McClain does.
That's what he does.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
You finally figured me out after all these.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
He made you look like an idiot, right there, Kates,
you look like a.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Okay, according to a quick Google, do you have that
population down? I don't know how this happened because I
looked all morning. For one, there are six hundred Tim
Hortons in the United States, but none of them I'm
looking at these different states, look like none of them
go past the Mississippi. They're all in the east and northeast.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Uh. Well, I've been. I've been east of the Mississippi. Tim, Yeah,
what you.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Like over there?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Don't get out?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I reckon? What's the licking over there? Done?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah? What's the least Kates apparently leaves Burbank if it's
not Don Cooger.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Uh. Once you get your boy over there at Cucos
to start making some donuts, Hechtel do it.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Well, I'm a I'm shocked Kates that you did not
have the right information.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Well, I tried orium online, but I could not do
it today.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
So all right, well, can we get into something that's
actually really important because I since we're talking about Canada,
it's a great time for the word of the day,
I mean his words. The word of the day, Don.
Today's word of the day is Canada. More love for Canada.
(05:11):
And I was only in Toronto, and you said you
liked Toronto, Don, but you had no detail, like you've
just said I like Toronto or like why And it's
like you haven't said why. You didn't say, like, oh
I like the Strip Club, Oh I like the River,
or I like I like their accents, I like the
Tim Hortons. You can only correct Kates about Tim Hortons,
(05:32):
but you didn't bring it up yourself.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
So because I've never been to Tim Mortons, I just
know they exist in the United States.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
There's only six hundred. Yeah, hey, take it easy on Tim.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
That's what he read.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
All right, all right, it's not what I read. But
I have only been to Canada once. I was in
Toronto at the airport. Does that count not? Really? Did
they stamp my passport? I guess they did anyway. But
my conversion into a Canadian culture was through a teen
(06:05):
drama that really went there, Don Degrassy. In my mid twenties,
Don I got really into a Canadian teen drama called Degrassy.
The one I watched was called Degrassi the Next Generation,
(06:25):
a Canadian teen show that was on Naggin in the
United States. Nag Naggin. It's like a Nickelodeon offshoot. And
I came on, like I said, when it was Degrassy
the Next Generation. It was an extension of an eighties
show in Canada. I love the show and became familiar
(06:47):
with Canadian culture like the Tim Hortons through the show.
Like instead of saying I'm in the twelfth grade or
I'm a senior, they said grade twelve. Like instead of
saying I went to college at UCLA, you would say
I went to university at UCLA. It's not an elevator,
(07:12):
it's a lift. It's not process, it's process. Degrassy in
real life is actually a street in Toronto, but it
is not.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Did you start drinking labats too?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
No? No, I didn't take it that far. I have standards.
Degrassy isn't a street, was a street and is a
street in Toronto. It is not a junior high school
or a high school. The most famous guy ever to
come out of De Grassy the show a guy named
Aubrey Graham aka Jimmy on the show, but he became
(07:50):
the rapper currently known and he's in a beef right
now with Lebron and Kendrick Lamar. The rapper currently known
as Drake started on de Grassy High and his character
was shot and paralyzed and was in a wheelchair, and
there was an episode about how he couldn't get a boner.
(08:10):
I'd tell you the show really went there. Play my
theme anyway. De Grassy at first was seventy nine to
eighty six, right in your wheelhouse growing up as de
Grassy Junior High. But did you know about it?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
No.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Eighty seven to eighty nine, de Grassy High eighty nine
to ninety one, and then De Grassy the Next Generation
one to twenty fifteen. That was my wheelhouse. Wait, the
show ran for fourteen years, well, it ran from seventy
nine to eighty nine with this with the young Group,
(08:48):
and then ten years later they brought back some of
the Young Group actors who are now older people, and
they had like their kids at Degrassi High, and that
was Degrassi the Next Generation twenty one to twenty fifteen,
and then Degrassi the next class twenty sixteen to twenty seventeen,
and then was canceled. I wish I could tell you
(09:09):
don that I didn't have a degrassy tattoo. I wish
I could, But I do have a degrassi tattoo. Wow,
it's the first line of this song. Whatever it takes,
dot dot it's from my love of degrassy. Here play
(09:31):
the song again. See you hear the kids say whatever
it takes a lot of late nights, eating hot dogs
and drinking alone. Sounds like it. Yeah, that was my
next question. I'm not, you know, well adjusted person at
least I never got a nine to two one oh tattoo,
(09:53):
but I did get a degrassy tattoo.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Donal you ever had so much to drink that you're like,
this is a good idea. Let's get a test.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I wasn't drunk when I got the tattoo. We weren't, no,
But it was the first time I had seen snow
in years, and I was in Colorado, and there was
a local tattoo place around the corner from my hotel,
and I did it.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I would have loved to see the tattoo artist when
you walked in there and said, you know what.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Well, they didn't know it there was Degrassi. They just
knew it was a lie.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I didn't ask you like while he was doing it.
I don't remember three hours.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I don't read three hours. It took like ten to
fifteen minutes. Three words and the three dots are important
because you got to know there's the other lyrics coming
because you don't read my tattoo like whatever it takes,
you read it like whatever it takes, dot dot dot.
I know I can make it through.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
So the guy never asked you, like, hey man.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
I don't remember. It was a long ass time ago.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
What do you mean what it was like two thousand
and five. It's like a twenty year old tattoo. So
the other most famous person on de Grassy other than
Drake Dawn is Nina Dobrev, who's kind of like a
hot actress who was on the Vampire Diaries on the CW.
I heard the CW's paying great for the Pac twelve games.
By the way, anyway, I'll find out next year. Enjoyed
(11:11):
enjoyed Degrassy Dawn. I know you won't and put in
a good word for me at the CW, I will
tell him about Nina Doebrev from the Vampire Diaries. So
is that was that helpful Canadian knowledge for everybody? Helpful
is probably the wrong word, Ronnie. You knew I had
a degrassy tattoo, didn't you? Uh?
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Yes, and no, I actually knew that. You told me
a long time ago, but I had forgotten about it
because it's been such a long time.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Teach you talked about it. What about you, Kate, I
had no clue. Okay, here's my number, number of the
day number.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
The DP is one.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Ever it takes now, go ahead. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
The Anaheim Angels are in a hiring mood. Yesterday they
hired Kurt Suzuki, who was a guest of Scam. This
morning today they posted an opening on their job board
for one part time employee, an HVAC technician. A what
HVAC like heat and air?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
So why is this news? Because a couple of weeks
ago Angels starting pitcher you say? Kikuchi told Japanese reporters
that he had to warm up this season drenched in
sweat due to the lack of air conditioning in the
weight room.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah, that the Angels cut a lot of corners with
their Arty Moreno is not yeah. It sounds like a
generous man with his money.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
No. So yesterday, at the press conference to introduce their
new manager, the GM was asked about the air conditioning problem.
GM claimed that the air conditioning was great, very cold,
and insisted our amenities are fine. He also claimed Kokuchi
never complained about the amenities while in Anaheim. Now a
day later, the Angels have posted a job looking for
(12:58):
an HVAC.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
God, they got it. The biggest idiots in the world.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Seriously. I heard a rumor it costs like two hundred
bucks to get your air conditioning fixed.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I heard a rumor that Artie Moreno complained about the
baseball players signing baseballs and throwing him into the crowd,
like somebody has to.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Pay for those, right.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
This is a song of the day.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
The Friends of Distinction provides our song of the day,
a tune that was released as a single in early
nineteen seventy called Time Waits for No One, A crunchy
groove for your Thursday on the Petros and Money Show,
Welcome me and our friend of distinction, and you know
that he is the all time leading scorer of that
(13:48):
legendary UCLA basketball program. He's also a former NBA player,
but most importantly, he's the best friend of the Petros
and Money Show. It's mister Don McLean who helping spark
up a four full hour radio show until we run
out of time with great Sports Dog going all the
way to an off day World Series edition of Dodger
(14:11):
Talk with David Vassey live from Canada at seven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Came will be on next don't miss, And there is news.
Alex Vesia is not with the team right now, a
personal matter and he's out, which is very concerning for
a few reasons. You hope he and his family are okay,
and then you also wonder what's gonna happen. Maybe Tanner
Scott now that he got that abscess, removed.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
All starters going nine inning.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
We'll talk to David Massey all about it in the
very next whatever it takes, I know, Dave, we'll make
it through. Just keep remember the Dawson's Creek we talked
about last time.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Today it's Degra. We've made it even easier to take
LA Sports with you this summer. Make Am five to
seventy or your favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast
(15:13):
a preset on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road Trip All Summer
with LA Sports Welcome back. If you said you had
an opportunity like gone to your head as you would say,
and you have to pick Dawson's Creek or Degrassy Junior
High or de Grassy the next generation, any of the
de Grassy vehicles or Dawson's Creek. Which one do you pick?
(15:39):
Because the last time you were here we talked a
lot about Dawson's Creek, and you know what, you weren't
very receptive to that.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Either put your saying gun to my head got into
your head. I guess Dawson's Creek.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah, well you should try the other one though. Degrassy's
pretty sweet. Joining us right now, it's David Masse of
the Dogs with an inside look at the Dodgers. This
is the Vassie Report with David Vassi. Right after this,
Dave is going to do his Instagram live on AM
(16:12):
five seventy so you'll be able to see the whole
scene at the Rogers Center. He is in Canada. International
Travel Mystery International Man of intrigue. David Vasus, I think.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
He's staying at the hotel attached to the stadium.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Oh live sex for everybody. I don't know, I don't know, Uh,
David Vasse. I think he's probably at the Dodger Hotel,
which probably isn't the Marrio. I don't know. I don't know.
He's our Dodger reporter though, and he's the best, and
he's out there in Toronto Spectrum Sports and at MLB
Network and right here brought to you by Service Titan
dot com. Davidvass on am FI seventy LA Sports, You're
(16:49):
home of the Dodgers. What's crocked?
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Dave Hey out here at Rogers Center. The Dodgers are
holding their workout right now, taking batting practice. There is
breaking news on fortunate, sad news in some ways. Alex
Vessia's status for the World Series is very much up
in the air. The Dodgers posted on their social media
account that Vessia is away from the team. He did
(17:12):
not make the trip with the Dodgers to Toronto. Him
and his wife are going through some personal things. I
do know that Vessia's wife was pregnant with their first child,
but we do not have any details on why Vessia
is away from the team for personal reasons, but certainly
the Dodgers and US send out our prayers and thoughts
(17:37):
with him and his wife whatever they're going through. And
from what I've been told from Major League Baseball, there
is a possibility that the Dodgers could place Vessia on
the bereavement list, which would allow the Dodgers to have
the option to activate Vessia onto the World Series roster
later in the series if they choose to. If Vessi
(17:59):
is up to it, so I wouldn't rule him out
for the World Series just yet, but certainly will not
be part of it for the first two games here
in Toronto.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
So what does that mean for the roster.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Well, that opens the door for Tanner Scott to return now.
He missed last round obviously with absess removed from his
lower body area, and he said that he's up and
ready to go when I talked to him at Dodgers
Stadium earlier this week. He's been throwing the hitters, he
said he wants in, and there really isn't any other option.
(18:35):
I'm not sure who the other option would be. Considering
that Robleski took Tanner Scott's spot on the roster. But look,
no matter how he fits in or whoever else fits in,
nobody is replacing what alex Vestia has meant to the
Dodgers during this postseason run because he has been the
(18:57):
most reliable guy that Dave robert has gone to that
is considered a relief pitcher. So it's a huge hole
left in the first two games of this series without
Vessia being available.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
David's Dave Roberts talked about, you know, the fact that
he let his starters go longer than they have in
the past in the last series, about that being a
factor in this series as well, especially now if you
don't have Vessi at least for the first couple.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Yeah, it just makes it that more important. Right, there
is no real bridge to Roki Sasaki. And if one
of these guys gets in trouble in a key spot,
who is he going to now? Because Vessia was good
against lefties and rightys. Is it Blake Trina, Is it
Justin Robleski, Is it emit Shean? Who does he go
(19:46):
to in those situations that Vessia came up so big?
I mean Vessi has come in to bail the Dodgers
out so many times in key innings in this postseason
to get the ball to Roki Sasaki. It's real problem
for them in the first two games baseball wise, but
obviously it's bigger than baseball why he's not with the team.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Now, Dave, you have been with the team in Milwaukee
and Philadelphia before that. You've seen the way these guys
have handled the road, and they've had ice water in
their veins in all of these series. What's the vibe
in Toronto? Is it very different than what you guys
have experienced with this team in the last couple series.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
Now it's basically the same, Petros. I mean, these guys
seem to have ice water in their veins, and a
couple of staff members told them it might be a
good thing that they're starting out on the road to
their focus heightened the way it was in the first
two rounds, especially with the few days off that they've
had leading up to the World Series. Hard to argue
(20:52):
with these guys that have gone into Philly and Milwaukee
and won the first two games of those series and.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Took control of it. They're looking to do the same thing,
and it all starts with their starting pitching. Don mentioned
you know the starting pitching and how much it means
to them. The Dodgers wouldn't be here without the type
of starts they have gotten from all four of their starters,
and number one, they're Game one starter, Blake Snell. So
that's how they got here, and if they want to
(21:20):
win this series, they're going to have to do the
same thing again, Dave.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Let's assume that the starting pitching is as good or
close to as good as it's been in the playoffs.
Aside from that, what's the biggest key for the Dodgers
winning this series.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
That's controlling a couple of key players, Don and Vladimir
Garrero Junior and George Springer. Those are the two most
dangerous hitters in this Blue Jays lineup, and if they
can contain those guys and keep them in check, this
Blue Jays offense doesn't really have any other threats. So
those are the two guys that have have the most
(22:01):
power in this lineup, more than what the Brewers had
in the NLCS, similar to the Phillies with Schwarber and Harper.
If they can keep those two guys in check. Well
they did against Philly, then they're in a good spot.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
One and only David Massey is on our air live
in Canada. The Dodgers are there too, Dave, what's the
difference between like a Super Bowl media Day and the
World Series media Day live in Canada? What was it like?
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Well, it's always in a different spot in the stadiums
at Dodgers Stadium, in the center field plaza, that's where
they really spread people out. It's outdoors, great weather. But
here in Toronto obviously indoors, cold, outside, a very narrow
room with everybody sitting at a podium similar to Super
Bowl media Day with their names behind them. So yeah,
(22:54):
it worked out pretty well, worked out better than I
thought it would.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Overall, Dave, has there been an anti Otani vibe in
Canada because of the stuff that happened that fateful winter
a couple of years ago with Hornstraw and John Paul
Morosi and what you described on scam the other day
as a terrible day for the baseball media.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Yes, there's been a lot of mocking of that false
report that Otani was on a jet to Toronto. But
Jack Dryron, Justin Roblevski are here did you guys take
your own plane here? Were you on the Otani plane
on the way here? We're on the Jack Carr plane.
I think Antani was on my plane. It was their plane,
the two lefties right there.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
So overall, everybody's pretty loose out there, it seems, Dave.
It seems like everybody's ready to rock and roll.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
It's kind of weird. I'm talking to you. You might
be the loudest guy here because it's pretty quiet, no
music playing in the background. Usually I'm drowned out by that.
But everybody's ears are on Petros and Don McClain right now.
The relievers are walking in after shagging. I feel like
Emma Shean's coming off the field a little prematurely, to
be honest with you, Live Radio she and I'm just
(24:09):
calling you out, Okay, I'm gonna get out of here.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
He's been on the show before.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Have you talked to day going into your lap?
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Before?
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Petros is brought to you by Verizon.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Brought to you now Shean was brought to you by
somebody else, probably Singular Air. But did you talk to
did you talk to Shuzer and look into Suzer's eyes?
You don't exactly have the best history with Shreser.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Dave. Yeah, I stood in front of him, brought up
twenty twenty one, eased into it, but also brought it up,
and he said, there's a lot of ifs and hands
and butts that we could go back to. And after
he answered that question the way he did, and you'll
hear that tonight on Dodger Talk coming up at seven o'clock,
(24:53):
we uh, I said hey, great to see you, and
he just completely ignorted me and looked the other way.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Nice, Oh, that's a did you like toe.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
To toe with George Springer too? Work through his MVP
from twenty seventeen about.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
What else do you have in don is it all?
Media Day? Dodger Talk stuff tonight.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Media Day and also an exclusive one on one with
the last dance himself, Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Wow. So Clayton Kershaw tonight and Media Day fanfare from
David Vase down on the field.
Speaker 6 (25:30):
And as soon as we hang up here, I'm going
Instagram Live. That's right, been at by Ford on five
seventy LA Sports Live from the Field at Rogers Center
in Toronto.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
So when we go to break, get over there to
Instagram Live and check out David Vassa on our fabulous
Instagram feed run by Matt dem Becky, the AM five

Do you go to dinner or anything?
Speaker 6 (25:57):

It says an authentic Greek experience. It said, I feel
like they were taking a shot at me.

I toe.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yeah, give it a shot. Have some snziki, Yeah, throw
some plates, Dave.
Speaker 6 (26:15):

Taja reporter arrested for I'm going to put that Instagram
live on right now. Coming up next, we're going to
do the F one Report. Yeah, stay with us on
the Petros and Money Show on AM FI seventy LA Sports. See. Now,
this is a Japanese song about a Greek thing. Really,
(26:39):
that's how smart we are. We knew Vess was going
to talk about a Greek restaurant, and we knew that
there would be like a Japanese theme because of Otani. Yeah,
Petros eighty eight or something as the name of the restaurant.
There's another restaurant in Manhattan Beach and maybe a couple
other places. El Segundo called Petros as well, a Greek
restaurant that everybody thinks I own and I don't own anything.
(27:02):
I don't even own my truck.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Are they number two like Petros eighty seven? No, there's
straight up.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
I think it's different. But anyway, stay with us. F
one report coming up neck Hello, PMS listener. Did you
know AM five seventy LA Sports has a wide range
of LA Sports podcasts. There's Rogan and.

five to seventy LA Sports on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Welcome back to Petrosen Money seven o'clock tonight, David vass
with Dodger Talk Live from Toronto and World Series Media
Day Sound all kinds of stuff we talked to David
Vassa and a big thank you to him. Check it
out on the podcast, and don't forget from the field
to the work side. Strauss powers our World Series coverage
(28:05):
on AM five seventy LA Sports. That is Strauss. That
cool thing you see written on the batting helmets Strauss
and now, Dawn, it is time for your favorite segment
when you come in here late in the week the
f one record Yeah, Max for stopping continues his assault
on the McLaren's in search of his fifth consecutive drivers
(28:27):
championship after week this weekend at the United States Grand
Prix in Austin, the petulant Prince doubled up his sprint
race win on Saturday by later taking poll and then
capped off the weekend with a notre dame like sc
bitch slap on Sunday for the suite. It's like every
(28:50):
time you get the ball, you run it for fifteen yards.
Max has scored one hundred and nineteen out of a
possible one hundred and thirty three points over the last
five events, and he's draw on within forty points of
the championship lead of Oscar Pastree. That deficit was one
hundred and four points just four races ago. To Saint
Max is all over. McLaren's ass would be an understatement, Dawn.
(29:12):
He'd be like saying the Feds aren't all over. Chelsey
Billips has This was ver Stoppin's fifth consecutive podium finish.
He scored three hundred and six of Red Bulls three
hundred and thirty one total team points this season, and
what was thought as a foregone conclusion that his streak
(29:34):
of drivers' championships would come to an end this season
to either McLaren driver Oscar Piastre or the sprite like
Lando Norris. Well, that is now very much up for grabs,
with five Grand Prix and two Sprint races remaining. Ver
Stoppin was aided by McLaren's self inflicted mistake during the
sprint race on Saturday, when Pastree foolishly tried to undercut
(29:58):
his teammate Norris on the rundown to Turn one one,
a move about as wise and successful as a Lincoln
Riley reverse pass in the pouring range. Stupid, stupid, play down, stupid.
The ausse Wallaby was clipped by Nico Hulkenberg the Viking
and was left with nowhere to go. The resulting contact
(30:19):
pushed Oscar into Lando and knocked him immediately out of
the race. Pastre would retire a lap later with suspension damage.
Unbelieve it was such a dumb idiot. Another example of
the Papaya rules failing to produce results. The double DNF,
which is like the Dniptiki did not play Coach's decision Yeah,
(30:43):
DMPCD yep. The double DNF did not finish would put
more pressure on McLaren for a positive result in quality
for the Grand Prix. Norris would qualify in P two,
more than half a second behind for stopping, while Pastre,
who struggled for all weekend, could only scratch out a
P six grid position. Pastree, the championship points leader, has
(31:08):
scored just twenty two points in the last three Grand
Prix weekends. He's slipping. The pressures getting to him, but
it didn't really matter. When the five lights went out
on Sunday for stopping, would hold off both Lando and
Little Chuck Leclair going into turn one and drive away
to win by over seven seconds, bending the rest of
the field in two like a Trojan defensive lineman in
(31:30):
South Bend.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
Yes on the place, Lates, I think I needed drink.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Mates, Max would deserve a drink After that performance. Norris
would fight back to pass Leclair in the latter stages
of the race to salvage P two, little Chuck holding
on for P three, giving Ferrari their first podium in
the last six Grand Prix for Norris. The second place
finish puts him just fourteen points behind his teammate Piastree.
(31:59):
It was his fifteenth podium finish of the season, the
most of any driver this year. What's up with Lewis Hamilton? Down,
you asked, all Right Hamilton, Sir Lewis all Right. Hamilton
would put in a solid drive for P four, with
Oscar surviving the tough weekend in Austin coming in fifth.
They were followed by the curiously odd looking George Russell,
(32:22):
the foul mouth Yuki Sonoda, the hulk Nico Hulkenberg in
P eight. Ninth place was good time Allie Berman scoring
points on home soil for the HAS team, and finally
the venerable Fernando Alonso rounding out the points in tenth
for the Aston Mark. Can the Dutchman pull off the
(32:43):
impossible and send the portly Zach Brown from Taft High
back to Woodland Hills this offseason without a Driver's Championship.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
Vote?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Many think he can. One of the issues being discussed
is at mc claren will need to decide on which
of their drivers they will support to defend against the
hard charging Dutchmen. The Papya rules, as they are called
by Brown, allow for the McLaren drivers to race against
each other, but to remember he's your teammate in short race,
(33:17):
some hard race, some clean, but they'll touch it. Easier
said than done. Du'ts of Papye rules. The Papaya rules
easier said than done though in the world of Formula One.
But shouldn't McLaren hesitate in prioritizing their title front runner.
They risk losing valuable puntos and tactical decisions from pitstop
(33:37):
timing to race day strategy calls. All that could mean
the difference between victory and defeat come out. McLaren is
doing a good job of that on their own. History
has shown that clear team orders can be decisive. Ferrari
famously use them to secure titles from Michael Schumacher, and
(34:00):
Mercedes were unapologetic about prioritizing Sir Lewis all Right Hamilton
when it mattered the most. By contract, McLaren's fair play
ethos could split strategic focus at the exact moment unity
is needed. With an angry Dutch prince running down their ass,
it is time for the portly Zach to decide do
(34:22):
they support their current points leader, the young Aussi who
could become just the second Australian driver to win a championship. Yeah,
shut up, oh, Or the sprite like Britt who was
hand picked by Brown to become the face of the
Papaya team Lando Norris. One thing we know for Stopping
is thriving on the indecision by McLaren and he knows
(34:46):
he will have the full support of his teammate, the
foul mouth Yuki Sonoda, whose seventh play finish is a
positive sign for the Bulls over the final five races.
Next stop on the calendar this weekend at the Opto
Drone Edmanos Rondo Riguez in Mexico City for the Mexican
Grand Prix. As remarkable as ver Stoppin's recent surge has been,
(35:10):
still he only has five more Grand Prix weekends to
make up the deficit, and the McLarens have consistently been
the quickest cars this season. One off weekend by Max
could bring this run to an f Max needs to
remain nearly perfect if he hopes to snatch away the
drivers' championship from the Papayas Piastre Or Norris, The beauty
(35:34):
of the twenty four race Formula One calendar. Don what
the wide range of venues during the year, different characteristics
and climates across the twenty one countries that host a
Grand Prix. Mexico City is one of the most unique circuits,
and not just because you can be kidnapped. Located on
a plateau and an altitude of over seven thousand feet
(35:55):
above sea level, it creates a challenge for the drivers,
the teams and the cars. The thinner air has a
big impact on aerodynamics and engine performance, car set up
and race management will be at a premium for success
all week in Mexico City.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
I have a question, Yeah, how do they get their
cards to all these different places?
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Do they fly out? Yeah? Yeah, big ass cargo planes. Yeah.
Look for Max to keep the pressure on the papayas well,
assuming that his car gets there from quality to lights out,
hoping for the intra team pressure at McLaren to continue
(36:36):
and create a moment of indecision or decision. The more
Piastrian Norris squabble on track, the stronger the vengeful Dutch
Prince becomes sake Fate. Why did discuslan roof? He's coming down?
The lustful Daniel Plants is coming and he's bringing hell
with him. And that's your f one reporter Southern Points
(37:00):
and we'll be back with more great sports talk. More
to come with Don McClean, NBA reaction to early in
the season and gambling talk, divisive gambling talk.

Dodgers and five thanks Don, yep.
Speaker 2 (01:22):

David Vase will join us in the very next segment.
Game one of the twenty twenty five World Series is
tomorrow here on am FI seventy LA Sports. From the
field to the work site. Strauss powers our World Series
coverage on A five seventy LA Sports. So proud we
(01:46):
are to be with Strauss. First pitch at five oh
eight Blake Snell on the mound for the Dodgers in
Game one. It is very exciting. We're freaking out about it.
It's like an international affair, and it's not like an
international affair. It is an international affairs. The Blue Jays
(02:07):
are obviously Canadian. They're the only team in Canada now,
so the entire country is going to rally behind the
Blue Jays. Are there more people in LA than there
are in Canada? I think there are. Really What is
the population of Canada, kates to a man, what is
the population?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Toronto's pretty big, Vancouver's pretty big.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I mean you think those cities are big, and then
you think about LA and LA just swing to giant
hammer Bootzel.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
As of twenty twenty four, the population of Canada was
forty one million.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Forty one million. How many live in California.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
California has got thirty nine point four million.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Damn these producers shows. I'll see if Baseball ninety six.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
But I'll tell you something that California doesn't have that
Canada has. Tim Hortons, don't.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I heard you with Steve Sacks this morning. Okay, great
Tim Horton's donuts. Tim Hortons is like a breakfast Denny's
kind of place.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
It Tim Hortons in the United States though, Okay, are there? Yeah,
I've seen one.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I tried ordering donuts today and I could not find
a location.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
In California or anywhere.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
I searched California. Then I cast a bigger web. I
swear I've seen it. Tim Hortons.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Correction and retractions. You see that. That's what McClain does.
You come in with great information and you think you
got it all figured out, Kates, and then you take
it a step too far. Yep, And McClain asked you
a question like, oh, is that the only state song
for Colorado? And it sends you reeling on air. Because
the worst thing in the world for an on air
person is to not know the answer to an honest
(03:50):
question that somebody asked you. And that's what McClain does.
That's what he does.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
You finally figured me out after all these.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
He made you look like an idiot, right there, Kates,
you look like a.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Okay, according to a quick Google, do you have that
population down? I don't know how this happened because I
looked all morning. For one, there are six hundred Tim
Hortons in the United States, but none of them I'm
looking at these different states, look like none of them
go past the Mississippi. They're all in the east and northeast.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Uh. Well, I've been. I've been east of the Mississippi. Tim, Yeah,
what you.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Like over there?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Don't get out?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I reckon? What's the licking over there? Done?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah? What's the least Kates apparently leaves Burbank if it's
not Don Cooger.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Uh. Once you get your boy over there at Cucos
to start making some donuts, Hechtel do it.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Well, I'm a I'm shocked Kates that you did not
have the right information.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Well, I tried orium online, but I could not do
it today.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
So all right, well, can we get into something that's
actually really important because I since we're talking about Canada,
it's a great time for the word of the day,
I mean his words. The word of the day, Don.
Today's word of the day is Canada. More love for Canada.
(05:11):
And I was only in Toronto, and you said you
liked Toronto, Don, but you had no detail, like you've
just said I like Toronto or like why And it's
like you haven't said why. You didn't say, like, oh
I like the Strip Club, Oh I like the River,
or I like I like their accents, I like the
Tim Hortons. You can only correct Kates about Tim Hortons,
(05:32):
but you didn't bring it up yourself.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
So because I've never been to Tim Mortons, I just
know they exist in the United States.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
There's only six hundred. Yeah, hey, take it easy on Tim.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
That's what he read.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
All right, all right, it's not what I read. But
I have only been to Canada once. I was in
Toronto at the airport. Does that count not? Really? Did
they stamp my passport? I guess they did anyway. But
my conversion into a Canadian culture was through a teen
(06:05):
drama that really went there, Don Degrassy. In my mid twenties,
Don I got really into a Canadian teen drama called Degrassy.
The one I watched was called Degrassi the Next Generation,
(06:25):
a Canadian teen show that was on Naggin in the
United States. Nag Naggin. It's like a Nickelodeon offshoot. And
I came on, like I said, when it was Degrassy
the Next Generation. It was an extension of an eighties
show in Canada. I love the show and became familiar
(06:47):
with Canadian culture like the Tim Hortons through the show.
Like instead of saying I'm in the twelfth grade or
I'm a senior, they said grade twelve. Like instead of
saying I went to college at UCLA, you would say
I went to university at UCLA. It's not an elevator,
(07:12):
it's a lift. It's not process, it's process. Degrassy in
real life is actually a street in Toronto, but it
is not.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Did you start drinking labats too?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
No? No, I didn't take it that far. I have standards.
Degrassy isn't a street, was a street and is a
street in Toronto. It is not a junior high school
or a high school. The most famous guy ever to
come out of De Grassy the show a guy named
Aubrey Graham aka Jimmy on the show, but he became
(07:50):
the rapper currently known and he's in a beef right
now with Lebron and Kendrick Lamar. The rapper currently known
as Drake started on de Grassy High and his character
was shot and paralyzed and was in a wheelchair, and
there was an episode about how he couldn't get a boner.
(08:10):
I'd tell you the show really went there. Play my
theme anyway. De Grassy at first was seventy nine to
eighty six, right in your wheelhouse growing up as de
Grassy Junior High. But did you know about it?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
No.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Eighty seven to eighty nine, de Grassy High eighty nine
to ninety one, and then De Grassy the Next Generation
one to twenty fifteen. That was my wheelhouse. Wait, the
show ran for fourteen years, well, it ran from seventy
nine to eighty nine with this with the young Group,
(08:48):
and then ten years later they brought back some of
the Young Group actors who are now older people, and
they had like their kids at Degrassi High, and that
was Degrassi the Next Generation twenty one to twenty fifteen,
and then Degrassi the next class twenty sixteen to twenty seventeen,
and then was canceled. I wish I could tell you
(09:09):
don that I didn't have a degrassy tattoo. I wish
I could, But I do have a degrassi tattoo. Wow,
it's the first line of this song. Whatever it takes,
dot dot it's from my love of degrassy. Here play
(09:31):
the song again. See you hear the kids say whatever
it takes a lot of late nights, eating hot dogs
and drinking alone. Sounds like it. Yeah, that was my
next question. I'm not, you know, well adjusted person at
least I never got a nine to two one oh tattoo,
(09:53):
but I did get a degrassy tattoo.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Donal you ever had so much to drink that you're like,
this is a good idea. Let's get a test.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I wasn't drunk when I got the tattoo. We weren't, no,
But it was the first time I had seen snow
in years, and I was in Colorado, and there was
a local tattoo place around the corner from my hotel,
and I did it.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I would have loved to see the tattoo artist when
you walked in there and said, you know what.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Well, they didn't know it there was Degrassi. They just
knew it was a lie.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I didn't ask you like while he was doing it.
I don't remember three hours.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I don't read three hours. It took like ten to
fifteen minutes. Three words and the three dots are important
because you got to know there's the other lyrics coming
because you don't read my tattoo like whatever it takes,
you read it like whatever it takes, dot dot dot.
I know I can make it through.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
So the guy never asked you, like, hey man.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
I don't remember. It was a long ass time ago.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
What do you mean what it was like two thousand
and five. It's like a twenty year old tattoo. So
the other most famous person on de Grassy other than
Drake Dawn is Nina Dobrev, who's kind of like a
hot actress who was on the Vampire Diaries on the CW.
I heard the CW's paying great for the Pac twelve games.
By the way, anyway, I'll find out next year. Enjoyed
(11:11):
enjoyed Degrassy Dawn. I know you won't and put in
a good word for me at the CW, I will
tell him about Nina Doebrev from the Vampire Diaries. So
is that was that helpful Canadian knowledge for everybody? Helpful
is probably the wrong word, Ronnie. You knew I had
a degrassy tattoo, didn't you? Uh?
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Yes, and no, I actually knew that. You told me
a long time ago, but I had forgotten about it
because it's been such a long time.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Teach you talked about it. What about you, Kate, I
had no clue. Okay, here's my number, number of the
day number.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
The DP is one.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Ever it takes now, go ahead. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
The Anaheim Angels are in a hiring mood. Yesterday they
hired Kurt Suzuki, who was a guest of Scam. This
morning today they posted an opening on their job board
for one part time employee, an HVAC technician. A what
HVAC like heat and air?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
So why is this news? Because a couple of weeks
ago Angels starting pitcher you say? Kikuchi told Japanese reporters
that he had to warm up this season drenched in
sweat due to the lack of air conditioning in the
weight room.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah, that the Angels cut a lot of corners with
their Arty Moreno is not yeah. It sounds like a
generous man with his money.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
No. So yesterday, at the press conference to introduce their
new manager, the GM was asked about the air conditioning problem.
GM claimed that the air conditioning was great, very cold,
and insisted our amenities are fine. He also claimed Kokuchi
never complained about the amenities while in Anaheim. Now a
day later, the Angels have posted a job looking for
(12:58):
an HVAC.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
God, they got it. The biggest idiots in the world.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Seriously. I heard a rumor it costs like two hundred
bucks to get your air conditioning fixed.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I heard a rumor that Artie Moreno complained about the
baseball players signing baseballs and throwing him into the crowd,
like somebody has to.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Pay for those, right.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
This is a song of the day.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
The Friends of Distinction provides our song of the day,

Welcome me and our friend of distinction, and you know
that he is the all time leading scorer of that
(13:48):
legendary UCLA basketball program. He's also a former NBA player,

Talk with David Vassey live from Canada at seven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Came will be on next don't miss, And there is news.
Alex Vesia is not with the team right now, a
personal matter and he's out, which is very concerning for
a few reasons. You hope he and his family are okay,
and then you also wonder what's gonna happen. Maybe Tanner
Scott now that he got that abscess, removed.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
All starters going nine inning.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
We'll talk to David Massey all about it in the
very next whatever it takes, I know, Dave, we'll make
it through. Just keep remember the Dawson's Creek we talked
about last time.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Today it's Degra. We've made it even easier to take
LA Sports with you this summer. Make Am five to

Using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road Trip All Summer
with LA Sports Welcome back. If you said you had
an opportunity like gone to your head as you would say,
and you have to pick Dawson's Creek or Degrassy Junior
High or de Grassy the next generation, any of the
de Grassy vehicles or Dawson's Creek. Which one do you pick?
(15:39):
Because the last time you were here we talked a
lot about Dawson's Creek, and you know what, you weren't
very receptive to that.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Either put your saying gun to my head got into
your head. I guess Dawson's Creek.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah, well you should try the other one though. Degrassy's
pretty sweet. Joining us right now, it's David Masse of
the Dogs with an inside look at the Dodgers. This
is the Vassie Report with David Vassi. Right after this,
Dave is going to do his Instagram live on AM
(16:12):
five seventy so you'll be able to see the whole
scene at the Rogers Center. He is in Canada. International
Travel Mystery International Man of intrigue. David Vasus, I think.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
He's staying at the hotel attached to the stadium.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Oh live sex for everybody. I don't know, I don't know, Uh,
David Vasse. I think he's probably at the Dodger Hotel,
which probably isn't the Marrio. I don't know. I don't know.
He's our Dodger reporter though, and he's the best, and
he's out there in Toronto Spectrum Sports and at MLB
Network and right here brought to you by Service Titan
dot com. Davidvass on am FI seventy LA Sports, You're
(16:49):
home of the Dodgers. What's crocked?
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Dave Hey out here at Rogers Center. The Dodgers are
holding their workout right now, taking batting practice. There is
breaking news on fortunate, sad news in some ways. Alex
Vessia's status for the World Series is very much up
in the air. The Dodgers posted on their social media
account that Vessia is away from the team. He did
(17:12):
not make the trip with the Dodgers to Toronto. Him
and his wife are going through some personal things. I
do know that Vessia's wife was pregnant with their first child,
but we do not have any details on why Vessia
is away from the team for personal reasons, but certainly
the Dodgers and US send out our prayers and thoughts
(17:37):
with him and his wife whatever they're going through. And
from what I've been told from Major League Baseball, there
is a possibility that the Dodgers could place Vessia on
the bereavement list, which would allow the Dodgers to have
the option to activate Vessia onto the World Series roster
later in the series if they choose to. If Vessi
(17:59):
is up to it, so I wouldn't rule him out
for the World Series just yet, but certainly will not
be part of it for the first two games here
in Toronto.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
So what does that mean for the roster.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Well, that opens the door for Tanner Scott to return now.
He missed last round obviously with absess removed from his
lower body area, and he said that he's up and
ready to go when I talked to him at Dodgers
Stadium earlier this week. He's been throwing the hitters, he
said he wants in, and there really isn't any other option.
(18:35):
I'm not sure who the other option would be. Considering
that Robleski took Tanner Scott's spot on the roster. But look,
no matter how he fits in or whoever else fits in,
nobody is replacing what alex Vestia has meant to the
Dodgers during this postseason run because he has been the
(18:57):
most reliable guy that Dave robert has gone to that
is considered a relief pitcher. So it's a huge hole
left in the first two games of this series without
Vessia being available.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
David's Dave Roberts talked about, you know, the fact that
he let his starters go longer than they have in
the past in the last series, about that being a
factor in this series as well, especially now if you
don't have Vessi at least for the first couple.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Yeah, it just makes it that more important. Right, there
is no real bridge to Roki Sasaki. And if one
of these guys gets in trouble in a key spot,
who is he going to now? Because Vessia was good
against lefties and rightys. Is it Blake Trina, Is it
Justin Robleski, Is it emit Shean? Who does he go
(19:46):
to in those situations that Vessia came up so big?
I mean Vessi has come in to bail the Dodgers
out so many times in key innings in this postseason
to get the ball to Roki Sasaki. It's real problem
for them in the first two games baseball wise, but
obviously it's bigger than baseball why he's not with the team.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Now, Dave, you have been with the team in Milwaukee
and Philadelphia before that. You've seen the way these guys
have handled the road, and they've had ice water in
their veins in all of these series. What's the vibe
in Toronto? Is it very different than what you guys
have experienced with this team in the last couple series.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
Now it's basically the same, Petros. I mean, these guys
seem to have ice water in their veins, and a
couple of staff members told them it might be a
good thing that they're starting out on the road to
their focus heightened the way it was in the first
two rounds, especially with the few days off that they've
had leading up to the World Series. Hard to argue
(20:52):
with these guys that have gone into Philly and Milwaukee
and won the first two games of those series and.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Took control of it. They're looking to do the same thing,
and it all starts with their starting pitching. Don mentioned
you know the starting pitching and how much it means
to them. The Dodgers wouldn't be here without the type
of starts they have gotten from all four of their starters,
and number one, they're Game one starter, Blake Snell. So
that's how they got here, and if they want to
(21:20):
win this series, they're going to have to do the
same thing again, Dave.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Let's assume that the starting pitching is as good or
close to as good as it's been in the playoffs.
Aside from that, what's the biggest key for the Dodgers
winning this series.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
That's controlling a couple of key players, Don and Vladimir
Garrero Junior and George Springer. Those are the two most
dangerous hitters in this Blue Jays lineup, and if they
can contain those guys and keep them in check, this
Blue Jays offense doesn't really have any other threats. So
those are the two guys that have have the most
(22:01):
power in this lineup, more than what the Brewers had
in the NLCS, similar to the Phillies with Schwarber and Harper.
If they can keep those two guys in check. Well
they did against Philly, then they're in a good spot.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
One and only David Massey is on our air live
in Canada. The Dodgers are there too, Dave, what's the
difference between like a Super Bowl media Day and the
World Series media Day live in Canada? What was it like?
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Well, it's always in a different spot in the stadiums
at Dodgers Stadium, in the center field plaza, that's where
they really spread people out. It's outdoors, great weather. But
here in Toronto obviously indoors, cold, outside, a very narrow
room with everybody sitting at a podium similar to Super
Bowl media Day with their names behind them. So yeah,
(22:54):
it worked out pretty well, worked out better than I
thought it would.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Overall, Dave, has there been an anti Otani vibe in
Canada because of the stuff that happened that fateful winter
a couple of years ago with Hornstraw and John Paul
Morosi and what you described on scam the other day
as a terrible day for the baseball media.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Yes, there's been a lot of mocking of that false
report that Otani was on a jet to Toronto. But
Jack Dryron, Justin Roblevski are here did you guys take
your own plane here? Were you on the Otani plane
on the way here? We're on the Jack Carr plane.
I think Antani was on my plane. It was their plane,
the two lefties right there.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
So overall, everybody's pretty loose out there, it seems, Dave.
It seems like everybody's ready to rock and roll.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
It's kind of weird. I'm talking to you. You might
be the loudest guy here because it's pretty quiet, no
music playing in the background. Usually I'm drowned out by that.
But everybody's ears are on Petros and Don McClain right now.
The relievers are walking in after shagging. I feel like
Emma Shean's coming off the field a little prematurely, to
be honest with you, Live Radio she and I'm just
(24:09):
calling you out, Okay, I'm gonna get out of here.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
He's been on the show before.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Have you talked to day going into your lap?
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Before?
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Petros is brought to you by Verizon.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Brought to you now Shean was brought to you by
somebody else, probably Singular Air. But did you talk to
did you talk to Shuzer and look into Suzer's eyes?
You don't exactly have the best history with Shreser.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Dave. Yeah, I stood in front of him, brought up
twenty twenty one, eased into it, but also brought it up,
and he said, there's a lot of ifs and hands
and butts that we could go back to. And after
he answered that question the way he did, and you'll
hear that tonight on Dodger Talk coming up at seven o'clock,
(24:53):
we uh, I said hey, great to see you, and
he just completely ignorted me and looked the other way.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Nice, Oh, that's a did you like toe.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
To toe with George Springer too? Work through his MVP
from twenty seventeen about.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
What else do you have in don is it all?
Media Day? Dodger Talk stuff tonight.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Media Day and also an exclusive one on one with
the last dance himself, Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Wow. So Clayton Kershaw tonight and Media Day fanfare from
David Vase down on the field.
Speaker 6 (25:30):

I toe.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yeah, give it a shot. Have some snziki, Yeah, throw

live on right now. Coming up next, we're going to
do the F one Report. Yeah, stay with us on
the Petros and Money Show on AM FI seventy LA Sports. See. Now,
this is a Japanese song about a Greek thing. Really,
(26:39):
that's how smart we are. We knew Vess was going
to talk about a Greek restaurant, and we knew that
there would be like a Japanese theme because of Otani. Yeah,
Petros eighty eight or something as the name of the restaurant.
There's another restaurant in Manhattan Beach and maybe a couple
other places. El Segundo called Petros as well, a Greek
restaurant that everybody thinks I own and I don't own anything.
(27:02):
I don't even own my truck.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Are they number two like Petros eighty seven? No, there's
straight up.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
I think it's different. But anyway, stay with us. F

to the work side. Strauss powers our World Series coverage
(28:05):
on AM five seventy LA Sports. That is Strauss. That
cool thing you see written on the batting helmets Strauss
and now, Dawn, it is time for your favorite segment
when you come in here late in the week the
f one record Yeah, Max for stopping continues his assault
on the McLaren's in search of his fifth consecutive drivers
(28:27):
championship after week this weekend at the United States Grand
Prix in Austin, the petulant Prince doubled up his sprint
race win on Saturday by later taking poll and then
capped off the weekend with a notre dame like sc
bitch slap on Sunday for the suite. It's like every
(28:50):
time you get the ball, you run it for fifteen yards.
Max has scored one hundred and nineteen out of a
possible one hundred and thirty three points over the last
five events, and he's draw on within forty points of
the championship lead of Oscar Pastree. That deficit was one
hundred and four points just four races ago. To Saint
Max is all over. McLaren's ass would be an understatement, Dawn.
(29:12):
He'd be like saying the Feds aren't all over. Chelsey
Billips has This was ver Stoppin's fifth consecutive podium finish.
He scored three hundred and six of Red Bulls three
hundred and thirty one total team points this season, and
what was thought as a foregone conclusion that his streak
(29:34):
of drivers' championships would come to an end this season
to either McLaren driver Oscar Piastre or the sprite like
Lando Norris. Well, that is now very much up for grabs,
with five Grand Prix and two Sprint races remaining. Ver
Stoppin was aided by McLaren's self inflicted mistake during the
sprint race on Saturday, when Pastree foolishly tried to undercut
(29:58):
his teammate Norris on the rundown to Turn one one,
a move about as wise and successful as a Lincoln
Riley reverse pass in the pouring range. Stupid, stupid, play down, stupid.
The ausse Wallaby was clipped by Nico Hulkenberg the Viking
and was left with nowhere to go. The resulting contact
(30:19):
pushed Oscar into Lando and knocked him immediately out of
the race. Pastre would retire a lap later with suspension damage.
Unbelieve it was such a dumb idiot. Another example of
the Papaya rules failing to produce results. The double DNF,
which is like the Dniptiki did not play Coach's decision Yeah,
(30:43):
DMPCD yep. The double DNF did not finish would put
more pressure on McLaren for a positive result in quality
for the Grand Prix. Norris would qualify in P two,
more than half a second behind for stopping, while Pastre,
who struggled for all weekend, could only scratch out a
P six grid position. Pastree, the championship points leader, has
(31:08):
scored just twenty two points in the last three Grand
Prix weekends. He's slipping. The pressures getting to him, but
it didn't really matter. When the five lights went out
on Sunday for stopping, would hold off both Lando and
Little Chuck Leclair going into turn one and drive away
to win by over seven seconds, bending the rest of
the field in two like a Trojan defensive lineman in
(31:30):
South Bend.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
Yes on the place, Lates, I think I needed drink.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Mates, Max would deserve a drink After that performance. Norris
would fight back to pass Leclair in the latter stages
of the race to salvage P two, little Chuck holding
on for P three, giving Ferrari their first podium in
the last six Grand Prix for Norris. The second place
finish puts him just fourteen points behind his teammate Piastree.
(31:59):
It was his fifteenth podium finish of the season, the
most of any driver this year. What's up with Lewis Hamilton? Down,
you asked, all Right Hamilton, Sir Lewis all Right. Hamilton
would put in a solid drive for P four, with
Oscar surviving the tough weekend in Austin coming in fifth.
They were followed by the curiously odd looking George Russell,
(32:22):
the foul mouth Yuki Sonoda, the hulk Nico Hulkenberg in
P eight. Ninth place was good time Allie Berman scoring
points on home soil for the HAS team, and finally
the venerable Fernando Alonso rounding out the points in tenth
for the Aston Mark. Can the Dutchman pull off the
(32:43):
impossible and send the portly Zach Brown from Taft High
back to Woodland Hills this offseason without a Driver's Championship.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
Vote?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Many think he can. One of the issues being discussed
is at mc claren will need to decide on which
of their drivers they will support to defend against the
hard charging Dutchmen. The Papya rules, as they are called
by Brown, allow for the McLaren drivers to race against
each other, but to remember he's your teammate in short race,
(33:17):
some hard race, some clean, but they'll touch it. Easier
said than done. Du'ts of Papye rules. The Papaya rules
easier said than done though in the world of Formula One.
But shouldn't McLaren hesitate in prioritizing their title front runner.
They risk losing valuable puntos and tactical decisions from pitstop
(33:37):
timing to race day strategy calls. All that could mean
the difference between victory and defeat come out. McLaren is
doing a good job of that on their own. History
has shown that clear team orders can be decisive. Ferrari
famously use them to secure titles from Michael Schumacher, and
(34:00):
Mercedes were unapologetic about prioritizing Sir Lewis all Right Hamilton
when it mattered the most. By contract, McLaren's fair play
ethos could split strategic focus at the exact moment unity
is needed. With an angry Dutch prince running down their ass,
it is time for the portly Zach to decide do
(34:22):
they support their current points leader, the young Aussi who
could become just the second Australian driver to win a championship. Yeah,
shut up, oh, Or the sprite like Britt who was
hand picked by Brown to become the face of the
Papaya team Lando Norris. One thing we know for Stopping
is thriving on the indecision by McLaren and he knows
(34:46):
he will have the full support of his teammate, the
foul mouth Yuki Sonoda, whose seventh play finish is a
positive sign for the Bulls over the final five races.
Next stop on the calendar this weekend at the Opto
Drone Edmanos Rondo Riguez in Mexico City for the Mexican
Grand Prix. As remarkable as ver Stoppin's recent surge has been,
(35:10):
still he only has five more Grand Prix weekends to
make up the deficit, and the McLarens have consistently been
the quickest cars this season. One off weekend by Max
could bring this run to an f Max needs to
remain nearly perfect if he hopes to snatch away the
drivers' championship from the Papayas Piastre Or Norris, The beauty
(35:34):
of the twenty four race Formula One calendar. Don what
the wide range of venues during the year, different characteristics
and climates across the twenty one countries that host a
Grand Prix. Mexico City is one of the most unique circuits,
and not just because you can be kidnapped. Located on
a plateau and an altitude of over seven thousand feet
(35:55):
above sea level, it creates a challenge for the drivers,
the teams and the cars. The thinner air has a
big impact on aerodynamics and engine performance, car set up
and race management will be at a premium for success
all week in Mexico City.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
I have a question, Yeah, how do they get their
cards to all these different places?
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Do they fly out? Yeah? Yeah, big ass cargo planes. Yeah.
Look for Max to keep the pressure on the papayas well,
assuming that his car gets there from quality to lights out,
hoping for the intra team pressure at McLaren to continue
(36:36):
and create a moment of indecision or decision. The more
Piastrian Norris squabble on track, the stronger the vengeful Dutch
Prince becomes sake Fate. Why did discuslan roof? He's coming down?
The lustful Daniel Plants is coming and he's bringing hell
with him. And that's your f one reporter Southern Points
(37:00):
and we'll be back with more great sports talk. More
to come with Don McClean, NBA reaction to early in
the season and gambling talk, divisive gambling talk.
