It has gone quickly. We still have a handful of hats.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
A few t shirts, books, some books, I believe what
is oh if you have a man's truck, an extra
large ben sheet fence seat sixty three inches wide is
what we're talking about.

of tickets to see the Clippers versus the Jazz on
New Year's Day. Have a fifty eight inch Most importantly,

But thank you so much everybody.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
And a big thank you to Tony Wu, who was
a huge, huge energizer buddy for the beginning of the show.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
City council men Tony Wu.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
And Tony Wu joined us shared a number of things
about this great city, including he is attempting he is
efforting with three hundred acres of undeveloped land to bring
Coachella West to West Covina because young people want to
see tax dollars used to party.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I felt like you kind of led him into that
Coachella West fell Hey, yeah, said he said, yeah, brought
the party. If Matt's daughter wasn't the headliner of in
a few years. You know, it's all about relationships exactly right.
But I do feel like the next time we come
to West Covina, we'd better damn sure have a proclamation
(03:34):
written up for us.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
I thought he had it. He had a folder and
I was like, is that a proclamation?
Speaker 4 (03:39):
He's got a frame it like like yeah, I think
the next time we get to West Covina, who's coming back?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
We are in proclamation territory.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Go doubt that's the kind of relationship that we've created
with Tony wo And also a huge thank you to
Sweet James, the dense beer.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Of justice.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
We all live under the shade of his many billboards.
Sweet James is here taking photographs as a celebrity lawyer,
much like Corbyn Burnson from La Law. So it's great
to see everybody here. There is some breaking Dodger news.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
What what?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
What?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Just easy? Easy?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Can I get the icebox? I don't want the T shirt?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Easy? David Vass will join us next. What do you think?
What else y guys want to do? He's got break.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
He is the Dodger insider, He's the one with the
breaking news.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
David Vasse hinted that there's a guy who's part Japanese,
who's from El Segundo that the Dodgers have been interested in,
and Dave mentioned it like.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Three or four times in the last three weeks.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
And now finally the national media is trying to get
on it, and David Vass, much like Lee Corso, is
coming in and saying, not so fast, my friend, I
am the purveyor of this new So we're gonna let
David Vassey frame his own story. And the last yes,
thank you, thank you for the smattering of applause. Now
(05:08):
moving on, it is time for the word of the day,
his words. The word of the day. Today's word of
the day is adultery. Who hears an adulterer raise your hand? Yeah,
you dirty, rotten cheaters, your cheating heart.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I saw Clyle raise her walker back there.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
No, no, it's not just Sharon Moore who has been
accused of adultery. The Michigan coach accused of adultery lost
his job, butter Knife. We all know the story.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
And now I'm gonna take my own life with that.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Matt's brother in law Brian Smith, Oh my guy at Ohio.
University of Ohio football coach Brian Smith A Bobcat was
fired and people wonder why why why he was fired
because of adultery?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Why?
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Apparently he was drinking on the job at the office
like I'm doing right now.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Ari Ari Ari, And despite the alcohol, he could still
get a bonus.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Ari Ari Ari No whiskey dion Ob Smith Ari.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
No, not from the Smith family a A.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
They are accusing him and by day I mean the
University of Ohio. Let's go Bobcats of multiple extramarital affairs.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Ari one apparently with an.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Undergrad is forbidden fruit.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
We all expect maybe a graduate student, somebody, Paul, they're lonely,
they're reading Samuel Beckett, Aristotle, they fall.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Into your bed. It happens.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
But an undergrad, somebody's still taking their requirements, okay, shucking
down at nine for shame. He was also spotted, they say,
Brian Smith, Matt's brother in law, the coach in Ohio
who has.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Been fired married. My sister took her name.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
He was fired, young, young Leddy Smith. He was fired recently.
He was seen doing stickwork, vicious stick work at a
local hotel by some team families. Say, you say, isn't
that coach sipping up his pants coming out of the
(07:48):
courtyard by Marriott here in.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Athens, Ohio. I'll say, ingrid.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
It sure looks like coach Brian Smith, Matt Smith's brother
in law.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
The guy.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
He's forty five years old. I mean, he shouldn't have
that much testosterone flowing through him every damn night.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
To satisfy an undergrad, some others and a wife.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Oh, it's easier than ever. People get RoboCop. You get
nine pills for seven weeks and it's.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Still I don't care how many pills you want to take,
your heart's going to explode.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
It comes out to seventy one cents a pill. It's
a hell of a deal.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
He used to be Brian Smith at the University of Hawaii.
He used to be at Wazu. He used to be
the head coach at Royal High School and see in
Simi Valley, and he used to be at Kowlou with
our friend coach McEnroe, and his puzzo is out in
the street.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
So it's not just Sharon Moore. And that's what I'm saying,
the Sharon Moore thing.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I was not surprised that a coach was having sex
with somebody who was working in the athletic department. I
was not surprised at that. I was surprised that he
went to a house and threatened to kill himself with
a butter knife. Yes, that part of it was a surprise.
But the other part of it, as Brian Smith has
shown you just a couple days later, is pretty much
(09:09):
quid pro quo in college football. And these guys make
millions of dollars and they still can't keep their puzza
on their pants.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
I'll tell you pe, this would never happen under Frank Solich.
The Ohio Bobcats would have been a reputable program if
they would have kept Solis there.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
So to guide that.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Solis was also very manly man. He had a lot
of fair moones he did. It is time for the
number of the day. Here's my number, top number of
the day.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Number of the day is two, as in double up,
double up Nkua. Turns out, our story yesterday just scratched
the surface of Pooka Nakua live streamers and all of
the wrong that has come on a short week for
the Rams and a must win game up at Seattle tonight.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Things have really gotten out of control for the Nikua family.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Yeah, this week from a guy that very well could
have won perhaps the triple Crown in receiving in the
NFL to someone who really pissed off Sean McVeigh two
days ago with Aiden and Neon spelled with a three.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
I heard that one of those guys is brothers with
the porn star Mia Khalifa.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
I didn't know that she no longer performs, but we
still talk about her in the league.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Thing is that right?
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Apparently, Nikua walked those dudes into the facility and where
they were going to live stream from the RAMS facility
until Sean McVeigh mf him nine ways to sundown effort
with your long ass hurt threw him out of the facility.
He then decided to stream with the streamers in their
van that they drove over to the facility.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
They drove out by the river and did the stream.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
He of course did the Yeah, refs just want to
be on TV, and that's why they throw flags. They're
in a group chat and they tell their pals watch this.
I'm gonna throw some pi here. I used to be
on that ref group chat. He's right, yeah, And uh,
I'm gonna go ahead and say Nicole is probably gonna
get roughed up pretty good tonight by the Seattle corners
and there aren't gonna be any flags thrown because those
(11:14):
guys don't want anyone to think that they're in a
group chat and they're gonna be on TV.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
They come back on the group chat be like, hey,
I throw a flash.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Right there, But uh, I thought it'd be too obvious.
The bigger story, though, his brother p Uh decided to
go Sampson.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, Sampson talk to Sampson A dude.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Terrio, the Los Angeles Laker has a fancy ride and
security footage show of the two suspects.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Stole his SUV.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
One of them is, in fact, twenty seven year old
Samson Nicoua.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
He is facing the charge of taking the vehicle without
the owner's consent. He is still behind bars right now,
so rough forty eight hours.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Sampson Nicoua was playing in the USFL the last couple
of years and he slapped a guy in the face.
A fan slapped a fan in the face who was
hanging over talking ass and it's a great video. Samsom
jumps up and slaps the guy and he was reprimanded
for that, so that was bad. And then there's another
Nikoua I think his name is Micah Nikua, another brother
(12:15):
who is at BYU who got in that Miami bull
fight and got knocked out out a great Twitter video
of just I just love him going down Nkua family
and Poka Nikua. I was told via the secret text also,
and then I did some research us and I met
(12:36):
him a long time ago. He's always been a pretty
humble kid and a really smiley and nice and affable guy.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
And he's recently had trouble.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
With his wife a so much so to where a
paternity test has been ordered by the wife no by,
and he might be very upset about that and having
a little bit of a struggle as a young man
right now, you are not knowing how to act not
(13:06):
the father when your life is more pulvins during the
week and then during the week days you got safety
is trying to knock your face out right. It can't
be easy to be Pooka Nkua. But yes, the Sampson
Nikoua slapping the fan usfl video is pretty good.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Well, perhaps that's why he's stealing vehicles around the Greater
Los Angeles area. Maybe inhibited his career once you decide
to jump under standing it.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Or were they partying together and they're like, hey, homie,
I'm gonna take your keys and he's like, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Don't know?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
And then they kind of forgot about it. Yeah, was
it like that.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Without permission? They didn't call it grand theft auto. So
leads me to believe that it's not. There's something to hey,
I must write, there's something weird going on there.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Nikua's got a hardcore fireman stash too, Samson mkouaugh, Okay,
a little bit, I could see.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
That running the song of the day.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
Today's song of the day is called Sleigh Ride from
the great instrumental rock band The Ventures, a crunchy holiday
groove for a Thursday afternoon flex alert where the Petrosen
money Show is loaded up the sleigh with prizes galore

Speaker 3 (17:22):
Two hours isn't enough, but we're gonna leave when this

Speaker 2 (17:25):
And when we got twenty minutes left.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Guys, you twenty minute right now on your Southern California
Toyota dealer Celebrity Hotline with the latest on the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
It's Davids. No. Somebody who was barbecue said, oh Lord,
Jesus is a fun I'm stove talk, and then the
smoke get me got brunk, saying off.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Spot, I see one guy in an angel's hat, but
most everybody else supports the doer.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Y ya ya ya ya yah.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
It is our Dodger Report, almost as famous as Sweet
James Bergner.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
The Great David Vasse with the latest.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Now the Dodgers have been flirting or interested in an
old El Segundo Eagle part Japanese guy who's friends with
Otani named Lars Newtmar who played at USC and now
they're starting to chirp about it. Dave's been talking about
it on our show for three weeks, so here to
(18:30):
discuss it and what the particulars may or may not
be before we move on to tomorrow's four hour show.
Is David Vasse? Dave, what's up?
Speaker 6 (18:40):
Hey, guys. Yeah, it's becoming more of a I guess
the rumor because Ken Rosenthal wrote it, even though we've
been talking about it for three weeks that the Dodgers
and Cardinals have been having dialogue not only about Brendan Donovan,
but if they can't match up on a trade there,
Lars Newtbar is a person of in for the Dodgers
(19:01):
as well. He can play all three outfield positions. I
wouldn't say, you know, to a certain extent, I feel
like he's a little over hyped because if you look
at a season last year, he only hit two thirty nine.
He's a lifetime two forty three hitter, a lifetime seven
hundred ish ops hitter. So it's not like you're getting
(19:21):
a great offensive player.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
You're getting a good one.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
But what you're getting is a really good defensive outfielder
that can make your outfield defense, especially with that pitching staff,
much better and have the pieces to the puzzle fit
better than what they did at times last year. New
Bar can play center, you can move to Oscar Hernandez
to left field, you could have Pajez and right field,
(19:46):
or you know, stay with the setus quo. But he
certainly would improve the Dodgers' outfield defense.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Uh, Dave, we love the idea of Newt Bar. You
hit it on the head.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
It's a perfect fit for what the Dodgers need, especially
defensively is a death piece. More importantly a topic that
I know, and I don't mean to stoke your fire
and to raise your ire, but Mookie Bets saying he
doesn't want to play in the World Baseball Classic is
no big deal, right that the US does not care
about their World Baseball Class.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
He invited? Was he even invited?
Speaker 5 (20:17):
That's a great that's a great point day. Maybe he
wasn't even gonna be invited, and that's why he already
opted out to save some face. But uh, it does
sound like that there are negotiations or conversations like what
is going on with with Roki, with with Yamamoto and
with Otani as it pertains to the Japanese WBC team.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Yeah, number one Otani. I'm starting to hear that he
may only hit in the World Baseball Classic. Now that
has not been officially determined, but that seems to make
a lot of sense. And there just seems to be
a little bit of a jump to judgment when it
comes to Yamamoto and Sasaki. First we hear they're both pitching,
(20:59):
then we hear they're not pitching, So it feels like
that is still yet to be determined. And how much
they would pitch in a World Baseball Classic four Team Japan.
So I feel like in the case of Yamamoto and Kasaki,
nothing has been determined because it seems to keep going
(21:19):
back and forth. And look, you can understand the Dodgers
hesitation to have either one of those guys pitch in
the World Baseball Classic, and certainly Otani pitch in the
World Baseball Classic. It feels like Otani could appease the
masses by participating for Team Japan as one of the
greatest hitters in baseball. Just being exclusively a DH I
(21:42):
feel like that's more than enough at this stage of
his career and him playing on a real team now
with the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Oh, is it a real stalemate, Dave? Is it a
real staring hard like that? Like, is Team Japan really
putting the pressure on the Dodgers to let these guys go?
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Well, from what I understand talking to people that are
Japanese media members, there is a lot of pressure on
these guys to play for Team Japan. So it's not
so much Team Japan putting pressure on the Dodgers. It
feels like there's a lot of pressure from the country
and the Baseball Federation there for these guys to participate,
but you could always have the Dodgers play bad cop
(22:22):
for them. And look, nothing's been determined, is what I'm
trying to say as far as Yamamoto and Sasaki pitching,
because we have heard conflicting reports and from what I
understand from this side of things, nothing has been determined
or settled yet.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
David Vasse is our guest.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Not only is it Yamamoto, Sasaki and Otani on that
Japanese team, so is Lars Nutbar. For goodness sakes, how
far does it go for him becoming a Dodger, perhaps
Dave that he knows all these Japanese Dodger players from
his World Baseball Classic history, It goes very far.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
When you have that connection to show hey, O Tani,
it obviously makes things a lot more of a easier
fit when you're coming to the Dodgers and him being
a local kid, it would be a great homecoming. And
the Dodgers obviously have a lot of interest in Brendan Donovan,
who's more of a dynamic offensive player, but he's essentially,
(23:23):
you know, the same guy as Tommy Edmund from you know,
the opposite side of the plate, and Tommy's a switch hitter.
Another Cardinal that's being shopped for a long time.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Now is Nolan Aernato.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
Another local kid from El Toro High School. Yes, he's
at the end of his career and new Cardinals GM
hem Bloom made no secrets about it that he is
going to trade Aeronado this offseason. He's just looking for
the right fit. I can tell you that I've known
(23:57):
for quite some time that Nolan Aernato has been one
of Hardy Moreno's favorite players not on the Angels, and
if the Cardinals did buy down the majority of this contract,
certainly the Angels would be a great fit, being in
Orange County and him being one of Urdy's favorite players.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Dave, I saw the number has been settled.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Each Dodger player will have earned a four hundred eighty
four thousand dollars seven hundred forty eight four hundred, seven
hundred and forty eight dollars check. Now, I wonder they
were so excited for winning the World Series. I would
assume you don't work for free, Dave. Now that the
players have been settled, what part of the pie is
(24:39):
cut for you for the World Series victory? Because certainly
you're a galvanizing force in the clubhouse.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Look what you've done, right.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
You're a guy that helps get these guys ready to play,
that believe in them, to believe in themselves. Seeing you
out there, What does Dave Vassay get. They get four
hundred and eighty five grand.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
I don't get any of that piece of pie. I'm
not part of the team, and that's voted on actually
by players before the regular season ends on who gets
a full share, who gets a half share, all that stuff.
But that would be a huge conflict of interest to
me receiving any sort of monetary compensation. I mean I
(25:19):
straddled that line, but that would be completely completely over
the line.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Oh you dance across the border like your cash is class.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Listen, it's a conflict of interest world we live in now. Dave,
my ass get the spans of money.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
All I get is a great handshake from Nabby and
Tankless water heaters.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yep, But I get the Nabby and tankless water heater
from my place.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Dave, the one and only David Massey is our gap.
I need it now.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
I heard Fred and Robbie ask you this question, and
I was embarrassed when they asked you.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
But you know what, now that I'm thinking about, how
are you doing?
Speaker 4 (25:50):
No, it wasn't that, But now that we have all
these people here and everybody's thinking about their plans for
the holidays and stuff, I can see why Fred asked you, Dave,
do you think the dog just will make any moves
between now and Christmas?
Speaker 6 (26:04):
I mean, the offices kind of shut down towards the
end of next week, so you know, these guys still
kind of do take a two week rest bit. But
obviously the phones are steals being worked, and it feels
like a trade could be more imminent than one of
these big splash signings. Doesn't feel like Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger,
(26:28):
or Bobashet are anywhere closer to signing with the team
than they were even during the winter meetings. So I
feel like a lot of these signings are going to
happen in January, and I don't expect the Tigers to
make a decision formally within their organization about whether or
not they will trade Schooble until after the new year.
(26:51):
And by the way, Schooble announced that he's going to
pitch for Team USA a little bit risky for a
pending free agents to commit to the USA.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
And unlike Bookie, he was invited to be part of
tm US. I'll find out.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
What Peo has to say before I believe what anybody
has to see.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
That thing.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Danglar coming to West COVINAE nice. We should have been
very eager to show up.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
We should have invited him. It's a great time here
in West Code. Dave, thank you so much for doing it.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
We needed that.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Lars Newton bar credit to go to David Vase and
Clyle says, hello, Dave. Yes, Clyle's in the house. She
doesn't look pleased. We shall return.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
We got into it a little bit in the break.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Why are you gonna go fight with our listen?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I didn't it was.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
It was a very cordial conversation, but it did get
a little heated for a minute.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
How about I supposed to take that It was a
very coat.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
It was cordial, but then I got heat. It got
a little heat, then I got a little heated. Still
love her.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
It was a very non violent conversation, except for that one.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
That one stab chop.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Stay with us. We're gonna give away the TV.
Speaker 2 (28:04):

Speaker 5 (01:21):
A few t shirts, books, some books, I believe what
is oh if you have a man's truck, an extra
large ben sheet fence seat sixty three inches wide is
what we're talking about.

Not like me, I drove here like this.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
But thank you so much everybody.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
And a big thank you to Tony Wu, who was
a huge, huge energizer buddy for the beginning of the show.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
City council men Tony Wu.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
And Tony Wu joined us shared a number of things
about this great city, including he is attempting he is
efforting with three hundred acres of undeveloped land to bring
Coachella West to West Covina because young people want to
see tax dollars used to party.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I felt like you kind of led him into that
Coachella West fell Hey, yeah, said he said, yeah, brought
the party. If Matt's daughter wasn't the headliner of in
a few years. You know, it's all about relationships exactly right.
But I do feel like the next time we come
to West Covina, we'd better damn sure have a proclamation
(03:34):
written up for us.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
I thought he had it. He had a folder and
I was like, is that a proclamation?
Speaker 4 (03:39):
He's got a frame it like like yeah, I think
the next time we get to West Covina, who's coming back?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
We are in proclamation territory.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Go doubt that's the kind of relationship that we've created
with Tony wo And also a huge thank you to
Sweet James, the dense beer.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Of justice.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
We all live under the shade of his many billboards.
Sweet James is here taking photographs as a celebrity lawyer,
much like Corbyn Burnson from La Law. So it's great
to see everybody here. There is some breaking Dodger news.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
What what?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
What?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Just easy? Easy?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Can I get the icebox? I don't want the T shirt?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Easy? David Vass will join us next. What do you think?
What else y guys want to do? He's got break.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
He is the Dodger insider, He's the one with the
breaking news.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
David Vasse hinted that there's a guy who's part Japanese,
who's from El Segundo that the Dodgers have been interested in,
and Dave mentioned it like.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Three or four times in the last three weeks.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
And now finally the national media is trying to get
on it, and David Vass, much like Lee Corso, is
coming in and saying, not so fast, my friend, I
am the purveyor of this new So we're gonna let
David Vassey frame his own story. And the last yes,
thank you, thank you for the smattering of applause. Now
(05:08):
moving on, it is time for the word of the day,
his words. The word of the day. Today's word of
the day is adultery. Who hears an adulterer raise your hand? Yeah,
you dirty, rotten cheaters, your cheating heart.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I saw Clyle raise her walker back there.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
No, no, it's not just Sharon Moore who has been
accused of adultery. The Michigan coach accused of adultery lost
his job, butter Knife. We all know the story.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
And now I'm gonna take my own life with that.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Matt's brother in law Brian Smith, Oh my guy at Ohio.
University of Ohio football coach Brian Smith A Bobcat was
fired and people wonder why why why he was fired
because of adultery?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Why?
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Apparently he was drinking on the job at the office
like I'm doing right now.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Ari Ari Ari, And despite the alcohol, he could still
get a bonus.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Ari Ari Ari No whiskey dion Ob Smith Ari.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
No, not from the Smith family a A.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
They are accusing him and by day I mean the
University of Ohio. Let's go Bobcats of multiple extramarital affairs.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Ari one apparently with an.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Undergrad is forbidden fruit.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
We all expect maybe a graduate student, somebody, Paul, they're lonely,
they're reading Samuel Beckett, Aristotle, they fall.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Into your bed. It happens.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
But an undergrad, somebody's still taking their requirements, okay, shucking
down at nine for shame. He was also spotted, they say,
Brian Smith, Matt's brother in law, the coach in Ohio
who has.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Been fired married. My sister took her name.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
He was fired, young, young Leddy Smith. He was fired recently.
He was seen doing stickwork, vicious stick work at a
local hotel by some team families. Say, you say, isn't
that coach sipping up his pants coming out of the
(07:48):
courtyard by Marriott here in.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Athens, Ohio. I'll say, ingrid.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
It sure looks like coach Brian Smith, Matt Smith's brother
in law.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
The guy.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
He's forty five years old. I mean, he shouldn't have
that much testosterone flowing through him every damn night.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
To satisfy an undergrad, some others and a wife.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Oh, it's easier than ever. People get RoboCop. You get
nine pills for seven weeks and it's.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Still I don't care how many pills you want to take,
your heart's going to explode.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
It comes out to seventy one cents a pill. It's
a hell of a deal.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
He used to be Brian Smith at the University of Hawaii.
He used to be at Wazu. He used to be
the head coach at Royal High School and see in
Simi Valley, and he used to be at Kowlou with
our friend coach McEnroe, and his puzzo is out in
the street.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
So it's not just Sharon Moore. And that's what I'm saying,
the Sharon Moore thing.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I was not surprised that a coach was having sex
with somebody who was working in the athletic department. I
was not surprised at that. I was surprised that he
went to a house and threatened to kill himself with
a butter knife. Yes, that part of it was a surprise.
But the other part of it, as Brian Smith has
shown you just a couple days later, is pretty much
(09:09):
quid pro quo in college football. And these guys make
millions of dollars and they still can't keep their puzza
on their pants.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
I'll tell you pe, this would never happen under Frank Solich.
The Ohio Bobcats would have been a reputable program if
they would have kept Solis there.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
So to guide that.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Solis was also very manly man. He had a lot
of fair moones he did. It is time for the
number of the day. Here's my number, top number of
the day.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Number of the day is two, as in double up,
double up Nkua. Turns out, our story yesterday just scratched
the surface of Pooka Nakua live streamers and all of
the wrong that has come on a short week for
the Rams and a must win game up at Seattle tonight.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Things have really gotten out of control for the Nikua family.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Yeah, this week from a guy that very well could
have won perhaps the triple Crown in receiving in the
NFL to someone who really pissed off Sean McVeigh two
days ago with Aiden and Neon spelled with a three.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
I heard that one of those guys is brothers with
the porn star Mia Khalifa.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
I didn't know that she no longer performs, but we
still talk about her in the league.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Thing is that right?
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Apparently, Nikua walked those dudes into the facility and where
they were going to live stream from the RAMS facility
until Sean McVeigh mf him nine ways to sundown effort
with your long ass hurt threw him out of the facility.
He then decided to stream with the streamers in their
van that they drove over to the facility.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
They drove out by the river and did the stream.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
He of course did the Yeah, refs just want to
be on TV, and that's why they throw flags. They're
in a group chat and they tell their pals watch this.
I'm gonna throw some pi here. I used to be
on that ref group chat. He's right, yeah, And uh,
I'm gonna go ahead and say Nicole is probably gonna
get roughed up pretty good tonight by the Seattle corners
and there aren't gonna be any flags thrown because those
(11:14):
guys don't want anyone to think that they're in a
group chat and they're gonna be on TV.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
They come back on the group chat be like, hey,
I throw a flash.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Right there, But uh, I thought it'd be too obvious.
The bigger story, though, his brother p Uh decided to
go Sampson.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, Sampson talk to Sampson A dude.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Terrio, the Los Angeles Laker has a fancy ride and
security footage show of the two suspects.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Stole his SUV.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
One of them is, in fact, twenty seven year old
Samson Nicoua.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
He is facing the charge of taking the vehicle without
the owner's consent. He is still behind bars right now,
so rough forty eight hours.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Sampson Nicoua was playing in the USFL the last couple
of years and he slapped a guy in the face.
A fan slapped a fan in the face who was
hanging over talking ass and it's a great video. Samsom
jumps up and slaps the guy and he was reprimanded
for that, so that was bad. And then there's another
Nikoua I think his name is Micah Nikua, another brother
(12:15):
who is at BYU who got in that Miami bull
fight and got knocked out out a great Twitter video
of just I just love him going down Nkua family
and Poka Nikua. I was told via the secret text also,
and then I did some research us and I met
(12:36):
him a long time ago. He's always been a pretty
humble kid and a really smiley and nice and affable guy.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
And he's recently had trouble.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
With his wife a so much so to where a
paternity test has been ordered by the wife no by,
and he might be very upset about that and having
a little bit of a struggle as a young man
right now, you are not knowing how to act not
(13:06):
the father when your life is more pulvins during the
week and then during the week days you got safety
is trying to knock your face out right. It can't
be easy to be Pooka Nkua. But yes, the Sampson
Nikoua slapping the fan usfl video is pretty good.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Well, perhaps that's why he's stealing vehicles around the Greater
Los Angeles area. Maybe inhibited his career once you decide
to jump under standing it.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Or were they partying together and they're like, hey, homie,
I'm gonna take your keys and he's like, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Don't know?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
And then they kind of forgot about it. Yeah, was
it like that.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Without permission? They didn't call it grand theft auto. So
leads me to believe that it's not. There's something to hey,
I must write, there's something weird going on there.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Nikua's got a hardcore fireman stash too, Samson mkouaugh, Okay,
a little bit, I could see.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
That running the song of the day.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
Today's song of the day is called Sleigh Ride from
the great instrumental rock band The Ventures, a crunchy holiday
groove for a Thursday afternoon flex alert where the Petrosen
money Show is loaded up the sleigh with prizes galore

Everybody's having a good time.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Our prizes are almost depleted, matt Our history has been
distributed like the Tower of Babbel, amongst the many countries
and cultures of the world.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
We still have the Westinghouse fifty eight inch four k
Ultra HDTV to give away, courtesy of our friend Brett,
so we'll do that in the next break. Gave away

Speaker 3 (16:56):
Now somebody just took Joe Books.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Oh he didn't. That guy took two books. Thank you
to sweet James Bergener he joined us. Thank you to
Tony Wu, councilman, former mayor three times over twenty fifteen,
twenty eighteen, twenty twenty two here in West Covina. And
most importantly, thank you to all of you for spending
your afternoon with us.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Two hours isn't enough, but we're gonna leave when this
is over.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
And when we got twenty minutes left.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Guys, you twenty minute right now on your Southern California
Toyota dealer Celebrity Hotline with the latest on the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
It's Davids. No. Somebody who was barbecue said, oh Lord,
Jesus is a fun I'm stove talk, and then the
smoke get me got brunk, saying off.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Spot, I see one guy in an angel's hat, but
most everybody else supports the doer.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Y ya ya ya ya yah.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
It is our Dodger Report, almost as famous as Sweet
James Bergner.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
The Great David Vasse with the latest.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Now the Dodgers have been flirting or interested in an
old El Segundo Eagle part Japanese guy who's friends with
Otani named Lars Newtmar who played at USC and now
they're starting to chirp about it. Dave's been talking about
it on our show for three weeks, so here to
(18:30):
discuss it and what the particulars may or may not
be before we move on to tomorrow's four hour show.
Is David Vasse? Dave, what's up?
Speaker 6 (18:40):
Hey, guys. Yeah, it's becoming more of a I guess
the rumor because Ken Rosenthal wrote it, even though we've
been talking about it for three weeks that the Dodgers
and Cardinals have been having dialogue not only about Brendan Donovan,
but if they can't match up on a trade there,
Lars Newtbar is a person of in for the Dodgers
(19:01):
as well. He can play all three outfield positions. I
wouldn't say, you know, to a certain extent, I feel
like he's a little over hyped because if you look
at a season last year, he only hit two thirty nine.
He's a lifetime two forty three hitter, a lifetime seven
hundred ish ops hitter. So it's not like you're getting
(19:21):
a great offensive player.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
You're getting a good one.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
But what you're getting is a really good defensive outfielder
that can make your outfield defense, especially with that pitching staff,
much better and have the pieces to the puzzle fit
better than what they did at times last year. New
Bar can play center, you can move to Oscar Hernandez
to left field, you could have Pajez and right field,
(19:46):
or you know, stay with the setus quo. But he
certainly would improve the Dodgers' outfield defense.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Uh, Dave, we love the idea of Newt Bar. You
hit it on the head.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
It's a perfect fit for what the Dodgers need, especially
defensively is a death piece. More importantly a topic that
I know, and I don't mean to stoke your fire
and to raise your ire, but Mookie Bets saying he
doesn't want to play in the World Baseball Classic is
no big deal, right that the US does not care
about their World Baseball Class.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
He invited? Was he even invited?
Speaker 5 (20:17):
That's a great that's a great point day. Maybe he
wasn't even gonna be invited, and that's why he already
opted out to save some face. But uh, it does
sound like that there are negotiations or conversations like what
is going on with with Roki, with with Yamamoto and
with Otani as it pertains to the Japanese WBC team.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Yeah, number one Otani. I'm starting to hear that he
may only hit in the World Baseball Classic. Now that
has not been officially determined, but that seems to make
a lot of sense. And there just seems to be
a little bit of a jump to judgment when it
comes to Yamamoto and Sasaki. First we hear they're both pitching,
(20:59):
then we hear they're not pitching, So it feels like
that is still yet to be determined. And how much
they would pitch in a World Baseball Classic four Team Japan.
So I feel like in the case of Yamamoto and Kasaki,
nothing has been determined because it seems to keep going
(21:19):
back and forth. And look, you can understand the Dodgers
hesitation to have either one of those guys pitch in
the World Baseball Classic, and certainly Otani pitch in the
World Baseball Classic. It feels like Otani could appease the
masses by participating for Team Japan as one of the
greatest hitters in baseball. Just being exclusively a DH I
(21:42):
feel like that's more than enough at this stage of
his career and him playing on a real team now
with the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Oh, is it a real stalemate, Dave? Is it a
real staring hard like that? Like, is Team Japan really
putting the pressure on the Dodgers to let these guys go?
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Well, from what I understand talking to people that are
Japanese media members, there is a lot of pressure on
these guys to play for Team Japan. So it's not
so much Team Japan putting pressure on the Dodgers. It
feels like there's a lot of pressure from the country
and the Baseball Federation there for these guys to participate,
but you could always have the Dodgers play bad cop
(22:22):
for them. And look, nothing's been determined, is what I'm
trying to say as far as Yamamoto and Sasaki pitching,
because we have heard conflicting reports and from what I
understand from this side of things, nothing has been determined
or settled yet.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
David Vasse is our guest.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Not only is it Yamamoto, Sasaki and Otani on that
Japanese team, so is Lars Nutbar. For goodness sakes, how
far does it go for him becoming a Dodger, perhaps
Dave that he knows all these Japanese Dodger players from
his World Baseball Classic history, It goes very far.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
When you have that connection to show hey, O Tani,
it obviously makes things a lot more of a easier
fit when you're coming to the Dodgers and him being
a local kid, it would be a great homecoming. And
the Dodgers obviously have a lot of interest in Brendan Donovan,
who's more of a dynamic offensive player, but he's essentially,
(23:23):
you know, the same guy as Tommy Edmund from you know,
the opposite side of the plate, and Tommy's a switch hitter.
Another Cardinal that's being shopped for a long time.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Now is Nolan Aernato.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
Another local kid from El Toro High School. Yes, he's
at the end of his career and new Cardinals GM
hem Bloom made no secrets about it that he is
going to trade Aeronado this offseason. He's just looking for
the right fit. I can tell you that I've known
(23:57):
for quite some time that Nolan Aernato has been one
of Hardy Moreno's favorite players not on the Angels, and
if the Cardinals did buy down the majority of this contract,
certainly the Angels would be a great fit, being in
Orange County and him being one of Urdy's favorite players.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Dave, I saw the number has been settled.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Each Dodger player will have earned a four hundred eighty
four thousand dollars seven hundred forty eight four hundred, seven
hundred and forty eight dollars check. Now, I wonder they
were so excited for winning the World Series. I would
assume you don't work for free, Dave. Now that the
players have been settled, what part of the pie is
(24:39):
cut for you for the World Series victory? Because certainly
you're a galvanizing force in the clubhouse.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Look what you've done, right.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
You're a guy that helps get these guys ready to play,
that believe in them, to believe in themselves. Seeing you
out there, What does Dave Vassay get. They get four
hundred and eighty five grand.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
I don't get any of that piece of pie. I'm
not part of the team, and that's voted on actually
by players before the regular season ends on who gets
a full share, who gets a half share, all that stuff.
But that would be a huge conflict of interest to
me receiving any sort of monetary compensation. I mean I
(25:19):
straddled that line, but that would be completely completely over
the line.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Oh you dance across the border like your cash is class.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Listen, it's a conflict of interest world we live in now. Dave,
my ass get the spans of money.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
All I get is a great handshake from Nabby and
Tankless water heaters.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yep, But I get the Nabby and tankless water heater
from my place.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Dave, the one and only David Massey is our gap.
I need it now.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
I heard Fred and Robbie ask you this question, and
I was embarrassed when they asked you.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
But you know what, now that I'm thinking about, how
are you doing?
Speaker 4 (25:50):
No, it wasn't that, But now that we have all
these people here and everybody's thinking about their plans for
the holidays and stuff, I can see why Fred asked you, Dave,
do you think the dog just will make any moves
between now and Christmas?
Speaker 6 (26:04):
I mean, the offices kind of shut down towards the
end of next week, so you know, these guys still
kind of do take a two week rest bit. But
obviously the phones are steals being worked, and it feels
like a trade could be more imminent than one of
these big splash signings. Doesn't feel like Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger,
(26:28):
or Bobashet are anywhere closer to signing with the team
than they were even during the winter meetings. So I
feel like a lot of these signings are going to
happen in January, and I don't expect the Tigers to
make a decision formally within their organization about whether or
not they will trade Schooble until after the new year.
(26:51):
And by the way, Schooble announced that he's going to
pitch for Team USA a little bit risky for a
pending free agents to commit to the USA.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
And unlike Bookie, he was invited to be part of
tm US. I'll find out.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
What Peo has to say before I believe what anybody
has to see.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
That thing.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Danglar coming to West COVINAE nice. We should have been
very eager to show up.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
We should have invited him. It's a great time here
in West Code. Dave, thank you so much for doing it.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
We needed that.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Lars Newton bar credit to go to David Vase and
Clyle says, hello, Dave. Yes, Clyle's in the house. She
doesn't look pleased. We shall return.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
We got into it a little bit in the break.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Why are you gonna go fight with our listen?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I didn't it was.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
It was a very cordial conversation, but it did get
a little heated for a minute.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
How about I supposed to take that It was a
very coat.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
It was cordial, but then I got heat. It got
a little heat, then I got a little heated. Still
love her.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
It was a very non violent conversation, except for that one.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
That one stab chop.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
