Fun fasts fun fact.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Not sure why I stumbled upon this one, p but
your final hour fun fact is smell talk odors if
you will, did you know? According to multiple polls in
multiple parts of the country, over multiple years, even decades
here in the States, our favorite smell is vanilla citrus,
(02:45):
closely behind over in the UK. Their favorite smell, same
deal poles, multiple areas, multiple decades of research, their favorite
smell just ahead of vanilla freshly baked loaf of bread.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Wow, I mean you know those those are those are
hard to argue with.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You know it's not on there. The cat's ass, French cologne.

same thing.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I'm just as all right. It's not for quick as.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Quick, hitch, I'll make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah. Dodgers twenty eight and fifteen hosting the sack Town.
A's Tonight it is show. Hey, oh Tawny bobblehead night.
Matt sour is gonna get the start for the Dodgers
in a bullpen game. We're not gonna see our lover
Caspara's gonna see pitched last night.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, it's funny you mentioned the West Sacramento or the
sack Town. When you go to the various websites and
you try to get some good a's information, they're just
listed as the athletics. There is no city in front
of them. They aren't acknowledging that they're rid of cats.
I know, it's just it's funny. Like online they're like,
(04:15):
I don't know what the hell they called.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
The you know, they're they're, they're, they're they're like in
that weird Washington football team era, you know, where they
had no real name. They're in the club in the cloud.
It's it's not Dalton Rushing's gonna cats though in his
big league debut. We're going to talk to David Messe
about it in the next segment. The Angels are seventeen
(04:38):
to twenty five. They are off today. They're very learned.
The Halos will fly north to Dodger Stadium for the
weekend series with the Dodgers beginning tomorrow night. Always an
exciting time and I might watch that opposite broadcast with
Wayne Randazzo and Mark Goubazow. Wayne Randazzo, known as trout
(05:00):
to Here the Dazzler is what they call him?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Is that what they call him?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
The Dazzler, the Dazzler. They don't call him trout of here,
but that's one of his great call.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yes, he's not the Rizzler, he's the Dazzler. The Dazzler
that's exciting.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
The Angels hard throwing reliever Ben Joyce you wish you
had that, Nick Nave. We'll miss the rest of the
season after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder. See, it
doesn't just happen to Dodger pitchers.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Guys, well, and it doesn't. It doesn't also happen to
guys that are throwing taters up there and using the
off speed stuff instead.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
It's one sometimes it does, but this guy throws a
hundred miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Hey, this guy, you're not gonna believe we're drapped him.
In the first round. He throws a hundred.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Guess how long is that gonna last? He is often hurt,
often hurt.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Tommy John at Tennessee and now two years in the
big leagues he's having a shoulder. He's only twenty four
years old, and his arm looks like Froken Steve.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
This guy throws so hard it seems like, well, when
are we gonna see him?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
That I don't know, but may can he throw hard
when you see him.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Chargers want to make a money deal, Matt. They're making
them all over the place.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yes, they will seek approval. A deal that was put
together a little while back eight percent stake in the
franchise to the private investment firm Arctos at next week's
NFL team owners meeting. If approved, Dean Spanos and his
siblings Michael and Alexis will still own sixty one percent
of the franchise majority owners It is the second major
(06:25):
change for the Chargers ownership group in the last year.
Tom Gores, who owns the Pistons, bought a twenty seven
percent stake in the team in September. Seeing more and
more of these private equity deals now since the NFL
gave him the green light a year ago.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Well, good luck to everybody involved. The resolution about whether
NFL players can participate in Olympic flag football in the
twenty twenty eight Summer game. It'll be under consideration in
next week's league meetings in Beautiful Minyi. The NFLPA is
(07:02):
apparently okay with everybody playing. Now the owners need to
sign off. But if your slot guy blows his hammy
playing flag football against Senegal, I don't think people will
be very happy once camp start this.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
While listen, I do believe and I think we would
all agree that we'd like the gold medal to reside
in the home of flag football here in America. But
you know, I think I'd be all right with some
standout amateurs getting a shot at the Olympics as opposed
to NFL. You know the guy that wins the dunk
(07:40):
contest every year, right, Mac McClung exactly good guys like yeah,
let's flip the mac mcclungs of flag football out there.
You know, the guys that really do it big on
the beaches.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
You know who I heard the best flag football player
out there is. I mean, we all know who it was.
In the nineties on the beaches, it was Johnny Utah.
But now it's Nelson Nelson Spruce out there doing it. Man,
the Spruce.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Goose Spruce can knock it out that it was the best.
That's that's the first time we've heard Nelson Spruce in
five years.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I'm here, Matt, I'm here for you, west Lake High
Spruce to night. I'm living in a fantasy Date is
Denver Game six date between House Nuggets and the Thunder
okay se He's trying to close out the series move
on to face the Minnesota Tea Wolves in the Western
Conference Finals. We talked to James Worthy about it at
(08:32):
three thirty.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
How about that little slice of America. Huh, You're either
going to get a team from Colorado, Minnesota, or Oklahoma
to represent the Western Conference in the NBA Finals. Some
say a flyover state instead of a major metropolis will
be represented in Man if they take on indyp If
(08:55):
Indy knocks off the Celtics to the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Peter Schrager said he doesn't do interviews in flyover state.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yes, he actually said that on our air once while
we were conducting an interview with him. Well, I'm always
going to come up with you guys. The only place
I don't do interviews is those flyover states coasts. Some good.
I don't think we've had them onnth since.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
No, thanks for doing it.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
This is great, great conversation, Pete.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Speaking of that, we will have a great conversation with
smell Zilla advocate and great Dodger reporter, our own David
Basse in the very next segment, It's Petros and Money
on AM five seventy LA Sports. We're your home of
the Dodgers, Broco Casino Dodgers on Deck coming up at six.
Speaker 2 (09:41):

Speaker 3 (10:12):
It's David Vase.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
With an inside look at the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
This is the Vassi Report with David Vasse, the one
and only David Vase, live from Dodgers Stadium on Otani
Bobblehead Night. Dodgers with a victory last night, feeding a
lot better about themselves after being pummeled by the freak
days as Tom Looney used to call them the night before.
(10:45):
It's a Otani Bobblehead Night. Here to report on it
and other things. Is the best reporter out there. MLB Network,
Spectrum Sports Net LA. David Vase brought to you my
Service Titan. What's cracking, Dave?
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Hey, guys, Yeah, if you're on your way to the game,
don't panic. The Dodgers announced yesterday that they are going
to give a bobblehead to everybody in attendance tonight that
has a pay ticket. So when I was screaming out
at those idiots that were lined up outside of Dodgers
Stadium when I arrived at two point thirty, I meant it.
I announced it yesterday. I put it on Twitter. You
(11:23):
did not need to line up at two o'clock in
the afternoon or earlier to get a bobblehead.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Just retweeted it, Dave. That is a good public service,
doing our part here an hour and a half hour.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
And he's out the window. You're everybody gets one.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Everybody gets what Dave, You know what they're going to
be lining up for early though. If everybody doesn't get
one when they issue it, that's thehigh song Kim bobblehead
that very well could be in our near future. Is
it safe to say that he is improving? We ask
you a question about him every single day you come on,
because every day there's something new to talk about, like
the level of improvement from where he was when we
(12:00):
discussed yeats. Likely this guy's going to be sent down
out of spring training to now one of the most
consistent and best Dodger hitters in the lineup. I mean,
it is incredible, dramatic how quickly this has happened.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah right.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
I mean a guy that deconstructs his swing and then
builds it back up from the ground up certainly is impressive.
And last night a great game. He did it with
the glove at second base, made a great play, he
beat out in ground balled the second base for an
infield single, and hit a home run, his first career
home run. So it was a really great night. And look,
(12:34):
the reality is, when Tom Yedman and Tiascar Hernandez come
back as good as Kim has been, it's gonna be
tough for him to find playing time. And that's why
the Dodgers may feel like it's beneficial to send him
back to Oklahoma City to play every day, to continue
to get better and be a weapon for them in
the second half of the season or if there's another
(12:55):
injury other.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Than his gams. There's a lot of anticipation over Dalton
Rushing being up with the big team. What can you
what can you say about your impression so far, Dave?
And what kind of guy is he?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Great guy?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Number one.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
I've gotten to know him over the course of the
last two springs and I have kept in pretty good
touch with Dalton Rushing over the last couple of years.
He's a fierce competitor. We all remember our friend Andre Ethier,
how intense and competitive he was. That's Dalton Rushing. You
may see him maybe take a bat to the batrack.
(13:33):
You may see him bark, get upset in himself.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Oh finger out of the dugout like Ethier, that proud middle.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
If you take a picture, yeah, if you take his
picture when he doesn't want to take and he might
do it. I mean, that's this guy, and you're gonna
see him with this beautifully groom stash. He told me
yesterday the reason why he has this mustache is because
him and those wild guys in the minor leagues, Alex Friedland,
Andre Gothier down there, Andre Gotier, they had this competitive
(14:06):
game going that you have to grow a mustache until
you go over and back to back games. And Dalton
Rushing hasn't gone over and back to back games in
Oklahoma City for quite some time. So that's why he's
got this very nicely groomed stash that you're going to
see when he comes to the plate tonight.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I guess that's an all right mustache there, because it
does look ridiculous. But hey, it's for a good cause.
Let's hope he doesn't have to shave it off tonight, Dave,
I saw and you talked about it. What Dave Roberts
said in his comments regarding Rushing that he is going
to be the catcher that he is going to be,
or a backup catcher, the left handed bat off the
bench outfield, not in the future. Just curious what your
(14:46):
read is into that. Is this a future planning event,
you know, for Freddie Freeman, who's contract will be up
when he's thirty eight years old, Will Smith thirty is
should we read that deep into it or what's the
idea behind that after trying him in the outfield earlier
and training well.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
The way Brandon Gomes and Andrew Freeman explained it to
us during the winter meetings is that they just didn't
feel like he was very fluid out there and they
didn't want to risk intrigues. It is interesting though that
this year they did try Rushing back out there for
two games in Oklahoma City. But he's here to be
a catcher. Freddie Freeman's not taking days off. I guess
(15:23):
if there is a game where Dave Roberts wants to
give Freddy a day off, probably a better option than
Kei k Hernandez at first base if they want to
go with a left handed hitter. So it does give
them that option if anything were to flare up with
the right ankle with Freddie Freeman. But he's here to
be the catcher, and quite honestly, the way he was
(15:45):
talking yesterday sounded like he's the guy here that's going
to push Will Smith. Even though he has that long
term contract, he's going to try to win that job
and win more at bats and win more games.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
If you had it right now on the table, Dave,
would you take rushing for ten years with his big stats.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
That's hard to say, Petros, because I haven't seen him catch,
I haven't seen him hit every day. Give me at
least three weeks to make that determination. But I love
it his mentality.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
How big of a prospect is he, Dave. I mean,
we've known, you know, heralded prospects that have been called
I'm not you know, international players, which is what we've
kind of gotten used to recently, but just guys that
are coming through the system that we hear about. This
is you know, this is one of the biggest that
we've seen probably since Will Smith, right.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Without a doubt. I mean, the Dodgers haven't produced that
many position players in contrast to how many pitchers they've produced.
So yeah, this is their biggest position player that they've
produced in a long time. And it just so happens
he plays the same position as Will Smith, and that's
the reason why they were seeing if he would be
able to handle left field their first base, and catcher
(17:00):
seems to be that position, and he said yesterday he
really embraces that, and he embraces being a catcher, and
talking to him in spring training, this guy really puts
an emphasis on that picture catcher relationship. Mike Sooshit talked
about this all the time when he was the manager
of the Angels. How vital that is not just to
be able to receive or throw, but to really cultivate
(17:24):
a relationship with your pictures and not just one of them,
but all of them. And even in spring training, Dalton
Rushing had a very detailed analysis, got in report on
different pictures that are pitching for the Dodgers right now
and even reference that being in Oklahoma City, being there
for rehab starts for Kershaw and being there for rehab
(17:45):
appearances by coopex. So he was storing all that information
away and that is really impressive for a young guy
that everybody talks about the hitting, he's talking more about
the picture catcher relationship, and to me, that's refreshing these days.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Dave, what's the plan tonight with the bullpen?
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Well, they got Whiskey Sour Matt Towers starting the game tonight.
They called up Justin Robleski, so Robleski will be there
to back up Sour and they'll sprinkle in these other
high leverage relievers between benk Asparius pitch last night. So
that's the reason why he's not in the mix tonight.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Notice you post Notice you posted a photo Dave of Snelzilla.
I believe the capsule is something along the lines of
you'll know it when you see it.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
It made me a little uncomfortable to be on.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
It, really did.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
So it was supposed to.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
The interesting thing about on that, Well, here's what I want, Dave.
The caption does not tell the truth because we don't
know it when we see it. We have no idea
what we're looking at. So why don't you share with
us what the hell you were looking at? And why
you wrote that and what the story is?
Speaker 4 (18:56):
All right? Well, the backstory is in the clubhouse. Before
he went out there to throw, a couple of reporters
approached him for the second consecutive day, and when they
were asking him questions as he was at his locker,
he saw me out of the corner of his eye
and pointed in front of all the reporters, go ask him.
(19:16):
He's got all the answers. I only talk to him.
He knows, I said, well, he was on the pregame
show Saturday. You can listen to it at credit and
five seventy LA Sports. And then we went into this
whole act where I was his translator and the reporter,
Jack Harris from the La Times, asked a question and
I said, you'll know it when you see it. Jack.
(19:37):
When he was asking him when's he going to throw?
I said, hey, you'll know it when you see it.
And there he was sixty feet playing catch and certainly
encouraging to see him out there throwing.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
When is I sorry, it's a great it's a great story.
I've ever heard what an inside story that Jack Harris
is a hell of a reporter.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Hey, suck at Jack, go get you Shinebox Jack when
is all I mean, no, I.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Did do the whole snow Villa impersonation too. I was like, yo, God,
you know, I'm just trying to get my shoulder right.
I'll be out there. When I'm out there, you'll see
me soon.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
I still feel uncomfortable. Damn. We were told like June
for Otani, how far did they kick that can down
the road? I mean, the Dodgers could use a starting pitcher.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Right and they're resisting that temptation. They're gonna stick with
their plan to have Otani pitch in the second half
of the season Petros because they want that weapon in
the postseason and they don't want to waste those bullets
or risk injury right now. You know, anything can happen
on the mound, anything can happen on the field, so
when you're doing both, there's a greater risk of things
(20:47):
going sideway. So the Dodgers need Otani leading off for
them right now more than they need him to pitch.
So he wants to do it. And it does feel
like the Dodgers keep moving the chains on us and
especially Otani, but so far he hasn't griped and he's
on board with them pitching him in the second half
of the season.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Last one for me, Dave. We know how much you
love bobbleheads and how much you love bobblehead night thoughts
on this show, Hey Otani bobblehead iteration of a Dodger
bobblehead compared to the others, Where is this one rank
for you? With like him holding Deco in his arms,
him holding the MVP trophy, all those different bobbleheads. How
(21:29):
about the sliding Otani and the fifty nine stolen bases.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I would have liked to have seen, like they did
in the past, the miniature size dual bobblehead. You know
we did that with the same infield of Garby Loops
Russell and say how they were smaller bobbleheads but all
fitted on the same platform. I would have thought the
creativity would have permeated the Dodgers staff. With Otani swinging
(21:56):
the bat and stealing a base on the same bobblehead,
that really would have captured the fifty to fifty season
from a year ago more than him just sliding. And
it kind of looks like a Pookie day.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
That's a good one day. That's a good that's a
good one.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Day, fabulous appearance on the show. Dave, who do you
got to the pregame show.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
I'm going to be venturing off to the athletics side
of things to talk to Jacob Wilson or a proud
cal State Fullerton Titan his manager Mark Kottsey Today.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
All right, you said it, Matt, you said it.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Is going to make an appearance, first time ever.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Beautiful, It's going to be hey, and it's going to
be the first time for many. We'll be back with
mal Villa update. Let me know we will. You know
when you see it, well, you'll know it when we
wanted You'll know it when we want it. We'll be
back with more The Petroson Money Show with your Dead
and Live Guy. Birthday of the Day coming up next
on AM VIZ seventy l A Sports You're Home of
(22:57):
the Dodgers Tuesday and a holiday of sorts. There's a
few every baseball season. O Tai Bobblehead Night has taken
on a life of its own.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
That's right, go ahead, Indeed it has to be, and
we certainly know when it comes to the Dodgers. Anytime
you have Shohei Otani Bobblehead Night s is gonna hit
the fan and sure as s tonight, prepare yourself stadium
way off the five Sunset Boulevard in the city. You
(23:34):
think you're all clever and you're taking the back route,
not gonna happen. Just prepare to get double middle fingers
to your transportation.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
If I had to do anything, Matt, if I had
to do anything, I'd come around on the east side
of the hill by the Fire Academy. It's a good
call and try to get my way up there. But
that's it's not exactly the on the on the road
less travel.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
No I did that. I did that for the Saturday
night Pirate game that Preston was singing, I think, and
I was being all cooy. Turns out Dave Roberts bobblehead
all the way backed up to where I got off
at the one ten.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
So see what's the thing. You can't get off the
one ten.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
You gotta come the oppaway.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
You have to come opp oh bop. And I hate
to reveal the family secrets here or try to act
like I have the knowledge, but we are talking about
we're talking about Chinatown, Matt, So you know I am
a specialty. You got to go straight down FIGUREO. And
when it says get on the freeway, you don't. You
veer left and that pops you up into the upper
(24:39):
part of Chinatown by the east side Delhi east Side,
because you're on the east side of the one tent.
There you go, and then you creep down on College
and around, and then you find yourself a little higher
next to the Fire Academy. When you make a left,
usually there's a guy standing there a that's going to
(25:00):
help you make a left, directing it. If there's a Dodger.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Game, Hey, look, you're listening now, you earned that. I
think you earn that shortcut if you're still listening getting
ready for Dodgers on deck. I don't think there's anything
wrong with sharing that secret to the people that are
tuning in right now. Delete that from the podcast people. Huh,
that's their terrestrial radio listeners only.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Yeah, that's only for listeners, live listeners, exactly, secret exactly right,
like to see you. That's what that one is. Shortcuts
are for live only. That's why you got to get
the iHeartRadio app and stream it anywhere in the world
instead of just getting it on demand. All right, Matt,
you're dead guy. Enjoy the game. Everybody right, your dead guy,
birthday of the day. I mean, that's been my way
(25:40):
for many years.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
It's a good way.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
It's like having a treehouse.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
This is the way.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Follow me to freedom, Matt. We'll get into some Civil
war action, some big Civil war action today.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Well here we're going now, oh, sir Sa.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Edmund Kirby Smith, Kirby Smith, very interesting, would have been
two hundred and one years old today. Kirby Smith's parents
from Connecticut, but born in Saint Augustine, Florida. Because you know,
how do people end up in the South or loyal
to the South. His father was appointed a superior court
(26:22):
judge down there. He went to West Point nickname Seminole,
is that right, well, Florida. He fought in the Mexican
American War that Mexico lost big time, and then taught
at West Point. He served well in the Mexican American War.
(26:44):
At whose songs and the papas e Beer battles.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Those are both a lot and earlier than they sound
than their title would suggest.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
A lot bigger than the Battle at Tutu Tutu. Rus
got shot in the leg by a Comanche in Kansas,
for Tourio Well tried to reclaim Kansas for the Union.
And then the Civil War came and Kirby went Confederate
because he was from Florida. And the first real battle
(27:16):
bull Run, where the Confederacy absolutely whipped the Union's ass.
Kirby took it in the neck and shoulder, recuperated down
in Florida and impregnated and married and impregnated his wife.
Came back and ended up with the army at Tennessee
where he won a battle in Richmond, Kentucky. Got some
love for that. But this is where I find Kirby
(27:38):
Smith interesting. Matt uh. He was given command of the
trans Mississippi Army.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Basically, so just a bunch of trans soldiers from Mississippi.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Well, I think you know that's not the case. Back
then it was different. Well, there was there was a
Native American Confederate Army.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Then there wasn't Native America and tribe in the Trans
Mississippi Army that fought. But they had nothing to do
with sexual idea, Ah, I got you or whatever gender
identity uh he was. It was it was an area
of given the command trans Mississippi, meaning you know, across.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
The risure, Hey, look these days, it's different. Meaning the
trans Mississippi Army, get it. You would really confuse a
lot of people.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
The Confederate wastelands.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
People might not even participate in the battle. They would say,
I'm not going to fight against the trans armies.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
This is this is wrong.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
This in a terrible You're a terrible person.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Really, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
The trans Mississippi matt was basically like being on the
overnights or being as you used to put it, a
weekend guy. It's the Confederate wasteland of the war, Arkansas, Texas,
missou Western Louisiana, Arizona, and all Indian territory. He did
(29:02):
it from Shreveport and got his ass kicked right off
the Mississippi River, the father of waters, and when the
Mississippi River got into the hands of the Union, as
Abraham Lincoln put it, the father of waters. Once the
river was cut off, him and thirty thousand dudes were
(29:24):
also cut off with no real purpose. Very vast area,
very difficult to administratively manage, impossible to deploy people in
different places to fight. It became known as Kirby Smith
(29:44):
dumb and as only one of seven full generals in
the army. Kirby Smith.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Was he like Colonel.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Kurtz way out there? Yeah, well, there was no heads
on stags. He didn't seem like that, that crazy of
a But they had no purpose with the river and
Union hands. So when Lee surrendered, like eight weeks after
Lee surrendered, he got the word and he fled to
(30:13):
Mexico and then to Cuba and his wife. There was
one brigade, the Native American Brigade, that were the last
to surrender, but Kirby was one of the last, simply
because he didn't know. His wife traveled from Cuba to
Washington and negotiated his amnesty. He took the oath for
(30:34):
the Union and became a high school teacher and then
a university professor. He also loved botany. All his stuff
is at the Smithsonian. His sons were all huge stars
on the sea, early football stars on the Sewanee Tigers
football team, all Southern status in the late nineteenth century.
(31:00):
Kirby Smith of Kirby Smithdom a character of American history.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
The war's over, No, it's not. It's been over for
about four weeks eight weeks now, is that right?
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Oh? For real?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Well, I'm gonna make my way to Mexico. Then you
don't say, well, tuck to you, gentlemen. Number hand me
my pack, sir, you're a live guy. P On a
much lighter note. Australian News, did I may?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
It's Kip and this is petros and Money's Australia News.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
One of the all time greats. I mean, I think
you can make a case for this song to be
the yacht rock song of record, and it is not.
I think just the yacht rock song of worker. But
I think it is one we all genuinely love. Now
(31:57):
we've promoted the Little River Band before here on the
Petrosen Money Show.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
It's Thursday around here.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I think they played Morongo last year?
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Did I believe you're correct there, Matt? I could read
the sides correctly. Whenever I go out there.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I want to make you understand I'm talking about a
lifetime play, all right. Reminiscent our man Graham Goebel is
seventy eight to day, founding member of the Little River Band,
wrote their hits, including this one, and his voice man
listen to that. It's just yacht rock personified, very strong.
Born in Adelaide, South Austra.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
At oh I knew a girl from there. Great me.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
He was all about harmonies, said any band, even as
a young'n' that's.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
A country Ass place, by the way.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Yes, originally country soft rock is what he was doing
in his early bands. He started as a drummer multi instrumentalist.
Though first band, as you mentioned, Country Ass plays the
band's silence, He played the banjo. It's hard to have
a band called silent, right, what are they like?
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Very quiet? Hard to pull that off?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Started ripping through one band after another, shifted the guitar,
became the frontman for the band Alison Gross. They recorded
a novelty version of the song Daddy Cool using an alias.
The band was called Drumming and it was like a
Chipmunk version of Daddy Cool, and that went number one
(33:24):
for seven weeks. So he was like, man, I'd like
to get something, you know, not chip Monkey, that I'd
be known for. So he morphed the band in the
Mississippi again Country Ass and their song Kings of the
World went top one, stayed on the charts for a
long time. Album did well. They tour built a fan
base over four hundred shows from seventy two through seventy four,
(33:45):
and then almost immediately after that success, some dudes wanted
to go one way and our Man decides.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
I want to go this one.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Yeah, and he this is what he wants, right freaking
Graham wants harmonies, So Goebel arts the Little River Band
in seventy five, Harmony rock group. Three singers, Old Bebe,
Bebe Birtles, Goebel, our Guy, and Sharick all a supergroup
is what they dubbed it because each Bee, Birtles and
Glenn Shorick were also from bands that had established themselves
(34:17):
Like our Man Grand Goebel, they signed with them. I
debut self titled Little River Band, peaked in the top
ten certified gold in Australia three singles, still just an
Aussie thing. October that year, they come to the US
opening for the Average White Band and Capitol says, yeah,
we're not gonna take it. They take a pass. They
take a pass on the second album, but their third
(34:39):
release in seventy seven, Diam and Tina Cocktail, they say,
we like this one. We like Dia Mettina Cocktail. They
got support sloped with the dudes, what's so different about
this one reminiscing they love the song Reminiscing, of course,
was a number one hit. They toured with Super Tramp,
with America with Fleetwood Mac. By the time they got
(35:00):
got back to Australia, they were so popular they played
for eighty thousand people on the steps of the Sydney
Opera House. So Graham was a writer.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
They appreciate yacht rock out there.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
They really do. And Graham was like, dude, I want
to keep writing the yacht rock and they were like, no,
not into it. So he took a bunch of songs,
grabbed his man Bib and they decide to do it
as a as a solo Bib and Graham, or maybe
it was Goebl and Birtles. I think it was Bertles
(35:33):
and Gobel. And according to our man Graham, he said
it was sabotage that Capital was determined that if this
duo was successful, who would mean the breakup of the
Little River Band. And he said he believed that they
could have been haul of Oates had they not been sabotage.
(35:53):
I listened to it a little bit on the way up.
I would say, you don't need to listen to it,
just go ahead and check out the album cover. It
is poster child of late seventies like Eunuch Rock Shot.
It's really something to take in.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
I've just been staring at the cover of Endless Summer
for the last twenty Hey, look at that guy's beer.
Do that thing.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Man Graham Goebel is seventy eight today reminiscing.
Speaker 3 (36:18):

your final hour fun fact is smell talk odors if
you will, did you know? According to multiple polls in
multiple parts of the country, over multiple years, even decades
here in the States, our favorite smell is vanilla citrus,
(02:45):
closely behind over in the UK. Their favorite smell, same
deal poles, multiple areas, multiple decades of research, their favorite
smell just ahead of vanilla freshly baked loaf of bread.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Wow, I mean you know those those are those are
hard to argue with.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You know it's not on there. The cat's ass, French cologne.

Quick, hitch, I'll make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah. Dodgers twenty eight and fifteen hosting the sack Town.
A's Tonight it is show. Hey, oh Tawny bobblehead night.
Matt sour is gonna get the start for the Dodgers
in a bullpen game. We're not gonna see our lover
Caspara's gonna see pitched last night.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, it's funny you mentioned the West Sacramento or the
sack Town. When you go to the various websites and
you try to get some good a's information, they're just
listed as the athletics. There is no city in front
of them. They aren't acknowledging that they're rid of cats.
I know, it's just it's funny. Like online they're like,
(04:15):
I don't know what the hell they called.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
The you know, they're they're, they're, they're they're like in
that weird Washington football team era, you know, where they
had no real name. They're in the club in the cloud.
It's it's not Dalton Rushing's gonna cats though in his
big league debut. We're going to talk to David Messe
about it in the next segment. The Angels are seventeen
(04:38):
to twenty five. They are off today. They're very learned.
The Halos will fly north to Dodger Stadium for the
weekend series with the Dodgers beginning tomorrow night. Always an
exciting time and I might watch that opposite broadcast with
Wayne Randazzo and Mark Goubazow. Wayne Randazzo, known as trout
(05:00):
to Here the Dazzler is what they call him?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Is that what they call him?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
The Dazzler, the Dazzler. They don't call him trout of here,
but that's one of his great call.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yes, he's not the Rizzler, he's the Dazzler. The Dazzler
that's exciting.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
The Angels hard throwing reliever Ben Joyce you wish you
had that, Nick Nave. We'll miss the rest of the
season after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder. See, it
doesn't just happen to Dodger pitchers.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Guys, well, and it doesn't. It doesn't also happen to
guys that are throwing taters up there and using the
off speed stuff instead.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
It's one sometimes it does, but this guy throws a
hundred miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Hey, this guy, you're not gonna believe we're drapped him.
In the first round. He throws a hundred.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Guess how long is that gonna last? He is often hurt,
often hurt.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Tommy John at Tennessee and now two years in the
big leagues he's having a shoulder. He's only twenty four
years old, and his arm looks like Froken Steve.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
This guy throws so hard it seems like, well, when
are we gonna see him?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
That I don't know, but may can he throw hard
when you see him.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Chargers want to make a money deal, Matt. They're making
them all over the place.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yes, they will seek approval. A deal that was put
together a little while back eight percent stake in the
franchise to the private investment firm Arctos at next week's
NFL team owners meeting. If approved, Dean Spanos and his
siblings Michael and Alexis will still own sixty one percent
of the franchise majority owners It is the second major
(06:25):
change for the Chargers ownership group in the last year.
Tom Gores, who owns the Pistons, bought a twenty seven
percent stake in the team in September. Seeing more and
more of these private equity deals now since the NFL
gave him the green light a year ago.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Well, good luck to everybody involved. The resolution about whether
NFL players can participate in Olympic flag football in the
twenty twenty eight Summer game. It'll be under consideration in
next week's league meetings in Beautiful Minyi. The NFLPA is
(07:02):
apparently okay with everybody playing. Now the owners need to
sign off. But if your slot guy blows his hammy
playing flag football against Senegal, I don't think people will
be very happy once camp start this.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
While listen, I do believe and I think we would
all agree that we'd like the gold medal to reside
in the home of flag football here in America. But
you know, I think I'd be all right with some
standout amateurs getting a shot at the Olympics as opposed
to NFL. You know the guy that wins the dunk
(07:40):
contest every year, right, Mac McClung exactly good guys like yeah,
let's flip the mac mcclungs of flag football out there.
You know, the guys that really do it big on
the beaches.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
You know who I heard the best flag football player
out there is. I mean, we all know who it was.
In the nineties on the beaches, it was Johnny Utah.
But now it's Nelson Nelson Spruce out there doing it. Man,
the Spruce.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Goose Spruce can knock it out that it was the best.
That's that's the first time we've heard Nelson Spruce in
five years.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I'm here, Matt, I'm here for you, west Lake High
Spruce to night. I'm living in a fantasy Date is
Denver Game six date between House Nuggets and the Thunder
okay se He's trying to close out the series move
on to face the Minnesota Tea Wolves in the Western
Conference Finals. We talked to James Worthy about it at
(08:32):
three thirty.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
How about that little slice of America. Huh, You're either
going to get a team from Colorado, Minnesota, or Oklahoma
to represent the Western Conference in the NBA Finals. Some
say a flyover state instead of a major metropolis will
be represented in Man if they take on indyp If
(08:55):
Indy knocks off the Celtics to the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Peter Schrager said he doesn't do interviews in flyover state.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yes, he actually said that on our air once while
we were conducting an interview with him. Well, I'm always
going to come up with you guys. The only place
I don't do interviews is those flyover states coasts. Some good.
I don't think we've had them onnth since.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
No, thanks for doing it.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
This is great, great conversation, Pete.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Speaking of that, we will have a great conversation with
smell Zilla advocate and great Dodger reporter, our own David
Basse in the very next segment, It's Petros and Money
on AM five seventy LA Sports. We're your home of
the Dodgers, Broco Casino Dodgers on Deck coming up at six.
Speaker 2 (09:41):

It's David Vase.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
With an inside look at the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
This is the Vassi Report with David Vasse, the one
and only David Vase, live from Dodgers Stadium on Otani
Bobblehead Night. Dodgers with a victory last night, feeding a
lot better about themselves after being pummeled by the freak
days as Tom Looney used to call them the night before.
(10:45):
It's a Otani Bobblehead Night. Here to report on it
and other things. Is the best reporter out there. MLB Network,
Spectrum Sports Net LA. David Vase brought to you my
Service Titan. What's cracking, Dave?
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Hey, guys, Yeah, if you're on your way to the game,
don't panic. The Dodgers announced yesterday that they are going
to give a bobblehead to everybody in attendance tonight that
has a pay ticket. So when I was screaming out
at those idiots that were lined up outside of Dodgers
Stadium when I arrived at two point thirty, I meant it.
I announced it yesterday. I put it on Twitter. You
(11:23):
did not need to line up at two o'clock in
the afternoon or earlier to get a bobblehead.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Just retweeted it, Dave. That is a good public service,
doing our part here an hour and a half hour.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
And he's out the window. You're everybody gets one.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Everybody gets what Dave, You know what they're going to
be lining up for early though. If everybody doesn't get
one when they issue it, that's thehigh song Kim bobblehead
that very well could be in our near future. Is
it safe to say that he is improving? We ask
you a question about him every single day you come on,
because every day there's something new to talk about, like
the level of improvement from where he was when we
(12:00):
discussed yeats. Likely this guy's going to be sent down
out of spring training to now one of the most
consistent and best Dodger hitters in the lineup. I mean,
it is incredible, dramatic how quickly this has happened.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah right.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
I mean a guy that deconstructs his swing and then
builds it back up from the ground up certainly is impressive.
And last night a great game. He did it with
the glove at second base, made a great play, he
beat out in ground balled the second base for an
infield single, and hit a home run, his first career
home run. So it was a really great night. And look,
(12:34):
the reality is, when Tom Yedman and Tiascar Hernandez come
back as good as Kim has been, it's gonna be
tough for him to find playing time. And that's why
the Dodgers may feel like it's beneficial to send him
back to Oklahoma City to play every day, to continue
to get better and be a weapon for them in
the second half of the season or if there's another
(12:55):
injury other.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Than his gams. There's a lot of anticipation over Dalton
Rushing being up with the big team. What can you
what can you say about your impression so far, Dave?
And what kind of guy is he?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Great guy?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Number one.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
I've gotten to know him over the course of the
last two springs and I have kept in pretty good
touch with Dalton Rushing over the last couple of years.
He's a fierce competitor. We all remember our friend Andre Ethier,
how intense and competitive he was. That's Dalton Rushing. You
may see him maybe take a bat to the batrack.
(13:33):
You may see him bark, get upset in himself.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Oh finger out of the dugout like Ethier, that proud middle.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
If you take a picture, yeah, if you take his
picture when he doesn't want to take and he might
do it. I mean, that's this guy, and you're gonna
see him with this beautifully groom stash. He told me
yesterday the reason why he has this mustache is because
him and those wild guys in the minor leagues, Alex Friedland,
Andre Gothier down there, Andre Gotier, they had this competitive
(14:06):
game going that you have to grow a mustache until
you go over and back to back games. And Dalton
Rushing hasn't gone over and back to back games in
Oklahoma City for quite some time. So that's why he's
got this very nicely groomed stash that you're going to
see when he comes to the plate tonight.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I guess that's an all right mustache there, because it
does look ridiculous. But hey, it's for a good cause.
Let's hope he doesn't have to shave it off tonight, Dave,
I saw and you talked about it. What Dave Roberts
said in his comments regarding Rushing that he is going
to be the catcher that he is going to be,
or a backup catcher, the left handed bat off the
bench outfield, not in the future. Just curious what your
(14:46):
read is into that. Is this a future planning event,
you know, for Freddie Freeman, who's contract will be up
when he's thirty eight years old, Will Smith thirty is
should we read that deep into it or what's the
idea behind that after trying him in the outfield earlier
and training well.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
The way Brandon Gomes and Andrew Freeman explained it to
us during the winter meetings is that they just didn't
feel like he was very fluid out there and they
didn't want to risk intrigues. It is interesting though that
this year they did try Rushing back out there for
two games in Oklahoma City. But he's here to be
a catcher. Freddie Freeman's not taking days off. I guess
(15:23):
if there is a game where Dave Roberts wants to
give Freddy a day off, probably a better option than
Kei k Hernandez at first base if they want to
go with a left handed hitter. So it does give
them that option if anything were to flare up with
the right ankle with Freddie Freeman. But he's here to
be the catcher, and quite honestly, the way he was
(15:45):
talking yesterday sounded like he's the guy here that's going
to push Will Smith. Even though he has that long
term contract, he's going to try to win that job
and win more at bats and win more games.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
If you had it right now on the table, Dave,
would you take rushing for ten years with his big stats.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
That's hard to say, Petros, because I haven't seen him catch,
I haven't seen him hit every day. Give me at
least three weeks to make that determination. But I love
it his mentality.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
How big of a prospect is he, Dave. I mean,
we've known, you know, heralded prospects that have been called
I'm not you know, international players, which is what we've
kind of gotten used to recently, but just guys that
are coming through the system that we hear about. This
is you know, this is one of the biggest that
we've seen probably since Will Smith, right.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Without a doubt. I mean, the Dodgers haven't produced that
many position players in contrast to how many pitchers they've produced.
So yeah, this is their biggest position player that they've
produced in a long time. And it just so happens
he plays the same position as Will Smith, and that's
the reason why they were seeing if he would be
able to handle left field their first base, and catcher
(17:00):
seems to be that position, and he said yesterday he
really embraces that, and he embraces being a catcher, and
talking to him in spring training, this guy really puts
an emphasis on that picture catcher relationship. Mike Sooshit talked
about this all the time when he was the manager
of the Angels. How vital that is not just to
be able to receive or throw, but to really cultivate
(17:24):
a relationship with your pictures and not just one of them,
but all of them. And even in spring training, Dalton
Rushing had a very detailed analysis, got in report on
different pictures that are pitching for the Dodgers right now
and even reference that being in Oklahoma City, being there
for rehab starts for Kershaw and being there for rehab
(17:45):
appearances by coopex. So he was storing all that information
away and that is really impressive for a young guy
that everybody talks about the hitting, he's talking more about
the picture catcher relationship, and to me, that's refreshing these days.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Dave, what's the plan tonight with the bullpen?
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Well, they got Whiskey Sour Matt Towers starting the game tonight.
They called up Justin Robleski, so Robleski will be there
to back up Sour and they'll sprinkle in these other
high leverage relievers between benk Asparius pitch last night. So
that's the reason why he's not in the mix tonight.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Notice you post Notice you posted a photo Dave of Snelzilla.
I believe the capsule is something along the lines of
you'll know it when you see it.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
It made me a little uncomfortable to be on.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
It, really did.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
So it was supposed to.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
The interesting thing about on that, Well, here's what I want, Dave.
The caption does not tell the truth because we don't
know it when we see it. We have no idea
what we're looking at. So why don't you share with
us what the hell you were looking at? And why
you wrote that and what the story is?
Speaker 4 (18:56):
All right? Well, the backstory is in the clubhouse. Before
he went out there to throw, a couple of reporters
approached him for the second consecutive day, and when they
were asking him questions as he was at his locker,
he saw me out of the corner of his eye
and pointed in front of all the reporters, go ask him.
(19:16):
He's got all the answers. I only talk to him.
He knows, I said, well, he was on the pregame
show Saturday. You can listen to it at credit and
five seventy LA Sports. And then we went into this
whole act where I was his translator and the reporter,
Jack Harris from the La Times, asked a question and
I said, you'll know it when you see it. Jack.
(19:37):
When he was asking him when's he going to throw?
I said, hey, you'll know it when you see it.
And there he was sixty feet playing catch and certainly
encouraging to see him out there throwing.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
When is I sorry, it's a great it's a great story.
I've ever heard what an inside story that Jack Harris
is a hell of a reporter.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Hey, suck at Jack, go get you Shinebox Jack when
is all I mean, no, I.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Did do the whole snow Villa impersonation too. I was like, yo, God,
you know, I'm just trying to get my shoulder right.
I'll be out there. When I'm out there, you'll see
me soon.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
I still feel uncomfortable. Damn. We were told like June
for Otani, how far did they kick that can down
the road? I mean, the Dodgers could use a starting pitcher.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Right and they're resisting that temptation. They're gonna stick with
their plan to have Otani pitch in the second half
of the season Petros because they want that weapon in
the postseason and they don't want to waste those bullets
or risk injury right now. You know, anything can happen
on the mound, anything can happen on the field, so
when you're doing both, there's a greater risk of things
(20:47):
going sideway. So the Dodgers need Otani leading off for
them right now more than they need him to pitch.
So he wants to do it. And it does feel
like the Dodgers keep moving the chains on us and
especially Otani, but so far he hasn't griped and he's
on board with them pitching him in the second half
of the season.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Last one for me, Dave. We know how much you
love bobbleheads and how much you love bobblehead night thoughts
on this show, Hey Otani bobblehead iteration of a Dodger
bobblehead compared to the others, Where is this one rank
for you? With like him holding Deco in his arms,
him holding the MVP trophy, all those different bobbleheads. How
(21:29):
about the sliding Otani and the fifty nine stolen bases.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I would have liked to have seen, like they did
in the past, the miniature size dual bobblehead. You know
we did that with the same infield of Garby Loops
Russell and say how they were smaller bobbleheads but all
fitted on the same platform. I would have thought the
creativity would have permeated the Dodgers staff. With Otani swinging
(21:56):
the bat and stealing a base on the same bobblehead,
that really would have captured the fifty to fifty season
from a year ago more than him just sliding. And
it kind of looks like a Pookie day.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
That's a good one day. That's a good that's a
good one.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Day, fabulous appearance on the show. Dave, who do you
got to the pregame show.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
I'm going to be venturing off to the athletics side
of things to talk to Jacob Wilson or a proud
cal State Fullerton Titan his manager Mark Kottsey Today.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
All right, you said it, Matt, you said it.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Is going to make an appearance, first time ever.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Beautiful, It's going to be hey, and it's going to
be the first time for many. We'll be back with
mal Villa update. Let me know we will. You know
when you see it, well, you'll know it when we
wanted You'll know it when we want it. We'll be
back with more The Petroson Money Show with your Dead
and Live Guy. Birthday of the Day coming up next
on AM VIZ seventy l A Sports You're Home of
(22:57):
the Dodgers Tuesday and a holiday of sorts. There's a
few every baseball season. O Tai Bobblehead Night has taken
on a life of its own.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
That's right, go ahead, Indeed it has to be, and
we certainly know when it comes to the Dodgers. Anytime
you have Shohei Otani Bobblehead Night s is gonna hit
the fan and sure as s tonight, prepare yourself stadium
way off the five Sunset Boulevard in the city. You
(23:34):
think you're all clever and you're taking the back route,
not gonna happen. Just prepare to get double middle fingers
to your transportation.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
If I had to do anything, Matt, if I had
to do anything, I'd come around on the east side
of the hill by the Fire Academy. It's a good
call and try to get my way up there. But
that's it's not exactly the on the on the road
less travel.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
No I did that. I did that for the Saturday
night Pirate game that Preston was singing, I think, and
I was being all cooy. Turns out Dave Roberts bobblehead
all the way backed up to where I got off
at the one ten.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
So see what's the thing. You can't get off the
one ten.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
You gotta come the oppaway.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
You have to come opp oh bop. And I hate
to reveal the family secrets here or try to act
like I have the knowledge, but we are talking about
we're talking about Chinatown, Matt, So you know I am
a specialty. You got to go straight down FIGUREO. And
when it says get on the freeway, you don't. You
veer left and that pops you up into the upper
(24:39):
part of Chinatown by the east side Delhi east Side,
because you're on the east side of the one tent.
There you go, and then you creep down on College
and around, and then you find yourself a little higher
next to the Fire Academy. When you make a left,
usually there's a guy standing there a that's going to
(25:00):
help you make a left, directing it. If there's a Dodger.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Game, Hey, look, you're listening now, you earned that. I
think you earn that shortcut if you're still listening getting
ready for Dodgers on deck. I don't think there's anything
wrong with sharing that secret to the people that are
tuning in right now. Delete that from the podcast people. Huh,
that's their terrestrial radio listeners only.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Yeah, that's only for listeners, live listeners, exactly, secret exactly right,
like to see you. That's what that one is. Shortcuts
are for live only. That's why you got to get
the iHeartRadio app and stream it anywhere in the world
instead of just getting it on demand. All right, Matt,
you're dead guy. Enjoy the game. Everybody right, your dead guy,
birthday of the day. I mean, that's been my way
(25:40):
for many years.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
It's a good way.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
It's like having a treehouse.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
This is the way.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Follow me to freedom, Matt. We'll get into some Civil
war action, some big Civil war action today.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Well here we're going now, oh, sir Sa.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Edmund Kirby Smith, Kirby Smith, very interesting, would have been
two hundred and one years old today. Kirby Smith's parents
from Connecticut, but born in Saint Augustine, Florida. Because you know,
how do people end up in the South or loyal
to the South. His father was appointed a superior court
(26:22):
judge down there. He went to West Point nickname Seminole,
is that right, well, Florida. He fought in the Mexican
American War that Mexico lost big time, and then taught
at West Point. He served well in the Mexican American War.
(26:44):
At whose songs and the papas e Beer battles.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Those are both a lot and earlier than they sound
than their title would suggest.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
A lot bigger than the Battle at Tutu Tutu. Rus
got shot in the leg by a Comanche in Kansas,
for Tourio Well tried to reclaim Kansas for the Union.
And then the Civil War came and Kirby went Confederate
because he was from Florida. And the first real battle
(27:16):
bull Run, where the Confederacy absolutely whipped the Union's ass.
Kirby took it in the neck and shoulder, recuperated down
in Florida and impregnated and married and impregnated his wife.
Came back and ended up with the army at Tennessee
where he won a battle in Richmond, Kentucky. Got some
love for that. But this is where I find Kirby
(27:38):
Smith interesting. Matt uh. He was given command of the
trans Mississippi Army.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Basically, so just a bunch of trans soldiers from Mississippi.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Well, I think you know that's not the case. Back
then it was different. Well, there was there was a
Native American Confederate Army.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Then there wasn't Native America and tribe in the Trans
Mississippi Army that fought. But they had nothing to do
with sexual idea, Ah, I got you or whatever gender
identity uh he was. It was it was an area
of given the command trans Mississippi, meaning you know, across.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
The risure, Hey, look these days, it's different. Meaning the
trans Mississippi Army, get it. You would really confuse a
lot of people.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
The Confederate wastelands.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
People might not even participate in the battle. They would say,
I'm not going to fight against the trans armies.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
This is this is wrong.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
This in a terrible You're a terrible person.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Really, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
The trans Mississippi matt was basically like being on the
overnights or being as you used to put it, a
weekend guy. It's the Confederate wasteland of the war, Arkansas, Texas,
missou Western Louisiana, Arizona, and all Indian territory. He did
(29:02):
it from Shreveport and got his ass kicked right off
the Mississippi River, the father of waters, and when the
Mississippi River got into the hands of the Union, as
Abraham Lincoln put it, the father of waters. Once the
river was cut off, him and thirty thousand dudes were
(29:24):
also cut off with no real purpose. Very vast area,
very difficult to administratively manage, impossible to deploy people in
different places to fight. It became known as Kirby Smith
(29:44):
dumb and as only one of seven full generals in
the army. Kirby Smith.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Was he like Colonel.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Kurtz way out there? Yeah, well, there was no heads
on stags. He didn't seem like that, that crazy of
a But they had no purpose with the river and
Union hands. So when Lee surrendered, like eight weeks after
Lee surrendered, he got the word and he fled to
(30:13):
Mexico and then to Cuba and his wife. There was
one brigade, the Native American Brigade, that were the last
to surrender, but Kirby was one of the last, simply
because he didn't know. His wife traveled from Cuba to
Washington and negotiated his amnesty. He took the oath for
(30:34):
the Union and became a high school teacher and then
a university professor. He also loved botany. All his stuff
is at the Smithsonian. His sons were all huge stars
on the sea, early football stars on the Sewanee Tigers
football team, all Southern status in the late nineteenth century.
(31:00):
Kirby Smith of Kirby Smithdom a character of American history.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
The war's over, No, it's not. It's been over for
about four weeks eight weeks now, is that right?
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Oh? For real?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Well, I'm gonna make my way to Mexico. Then you
don't say, well, tuck to you, gentlemen. Number hand me
my pack, sir, you're a live guy. P On a
much lighter note. Australian News, did I may?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
It's Kip and this is petros and Money's Australia News.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
One of the all time greats. I mean, I think
you can make a case for this song to be
the yacht rock song of record, and it is not.
I think just the yacht rock song of worker. But
I think it is one we all genuinely love. Now
(31:57):
we've promoted the Little River Band before here on the
Petrosen Money Show.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
It's Thursday around here.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I think they played Morongo last year?
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Did I believe you're correct there, Matt? I could read
the sides correctly. Whenever I go out there.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I want to make you understand I'm talking about a
lifetime play, all right. Reminiscent our man Graham Goebel is
seventy eight to day, founding member of the Little River Band,
wrote their hits, including this one, and his voice man
listen to that. It's just yacht rock personified, very strong.
Born in Adelaide, South Austra.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
At oh I knew a girl from there. Great me.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
He was all about harmonies, said any band, even as
a young'n' that's.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
A country Ass place, by the way.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Yes, originally country soft rock is what he was doing
in his early bands. He started as a drummer multi instrumentalist.
Though first band, as you mentioned, Country Ass plays the
band's silence, He played the banjo. It's hard to have
a band called silent, right, what are they like?
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Very quiet? Hard to pull that off?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Started ripping through one band after another, shifted the guitar,
became the frontman for the band Alison Gross. They recorded
a novelty version of the song Daddy Cool using an alias.
The band was called Drumming and it was like a
Chipmunk version of Daddy Cool, and that went number one
(33:24):
for seven weeks. So he was like, man, I'd like
to get something, you know, not chip Monkey, that I'd
be known for. So he morphed the band in the
Mississippi again Country Ass and their song Kings of the
World went top one, stayed on the charts for a
long time. Album did well. They tour built a fan
base over four hundred shows from seventy two through seventy four,
(33:45):
and then almost immediately after that success, some dudes wanted
to go one way and our Man decides.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
I want to go this one.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Yeah, and he this is what he wants, right freaking
Graham wants harmonies, So Goebel arts the Little River Band
in seventy five, Harmony rock group. Three singers, Old Bebe,
Bebe Birtles, Goebel, our Guy, and Sharick all a supergroup
is what they dubbed it because each Bee, Birtles and
Glenn Shorick were also from bands that had established themselves
(34:17):
Like our Man Grand Goebel, they signed with them. I
debut self titled Little River Band, peaked in the top
ten certified gold in Australia three singles, still just an
Aussie thing. October that year, they come to the US
opening for the Average White Band and Capitol says, yeah,
we're not gonna take it. They take a pass. They
take a pass on the second album, but their third
(34:39):
release in seventy seven, Diam and Tina Cocktail, they say,
we like this one. We like Dia Mettina Cocktail. They
got support sloped with the dudes, what's so different about
this one reminiscing they love the song Reminiscing, of course,
was a number one hit. They toured with Super Tramp,
with America with Fleetwood Mac. By the time they got
(35:00):
got back to Australia, they were so popular they played
for eighty thousand people on the steps of the Sydney
Opera House. So Graham was a writer.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
They appreciate yacht rock out there.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
They really do. And Graham was like, dude, I want
to keep writing the yacht rock and they were like, no,
not into it. So he took a bunch of songs,
grabbed his man Bib and they decide to do it
as a as a solo Bib and Graham, or maybe
it was Goebl and Birtles. I think it was Bertles
(35:33):
and Gobel. And according to our man Graham, he said
it was sabotage that Capital was determined that if this
duo was successful, who would mean the breakup of the
Little River Band. And he said he believed that they
could have been haul of Oates had they not been sabotage.
(35:53):
I listened to it a little bit on the way up.
I would say, you don't need to listen to it,
just go ahead and check out the album cover. It
is poster child of late seventies like Eunuch Rock Shot.
It's really something to take in.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
I've just been staring at the cover of Endless Summer
for the last twenty Hey, look at that guy's beer.
Do that thing.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Man Graham Goebel is seventy eight today reminiscing.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Reminisce, reminisce. All right, everybody, thank you for listening, and
we'll be back on tomorrow, same schedule, said Threeta. Six

the extra work today at Calling Ye. Teno on Twitter
