Speaker 4 (03:12):
How any combat unit is only as effective as its
human components. Out of the twenty men that I'd started with,
I wound up with only two who were capable of
passing on to others. The knowledge lead acquired Tamas by
Lacas age twenty six, University of Princeton. A wealthy family,

(03:34):
good diver, very quick to learn, but under that aristocratic
poise for I'm a stubborn streak. Paul Ramirez, age twenty
eight called India orphan since birth, high school education, padded
by a healthy curiosity in some years in the service.
If you had to pick a word to characterize Indio,

(03:57):
it would.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Be happy, happily a roll, big game tonight on Tony's
in the lineup? What are you nuts? We still gotta
take that lorda man? You know what that's like. These days?
You got the Navy everywhere, you got frogmen, you got
the e C two's with the satellite tracking, you got

(04:17):
the bell two nine of salt choppers up the ass.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
We're losing one out of every nine loads. That's no
duck walk anymore. Let me tell you, forget about money.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
What do you suggest that's reasonable? Dinner roll? All right,

(05:24):
go Dodgers. I don't know we're not even airing the game,
but I guess it's a big game tonight, O Taani
in the lineup. We are going to air a game tomorrow.
I believe Matt said that a little bit earlier, and
that has been scheduled. Talk on the Petrosen Money Show,
Matt is back back from the Midwest.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Can you back in the studio the me TV Rifleman and.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
You'll be headed back to the Midwest again in the
coming weeks. As I'm sure you're looking very much forward
to those trips. There is some big news out there
in the world. Matt Stafford is returning to the Rams.
Apparently we're going to continue to talk about him for

(06:12):
some time. Uh and I believe actually dieta rule. We
just played that sound. I think he's a special guest
tonight at the Camelback ramch for the game. I don't
think they usually had the organ pumping because they don't
want to spend the money, but I think he's in.
He's in Arizona for the game tonight.

Speaker 5 (06:35):
It's the first game under the lights in spring training
for the Dodgers. The lineup looks pretty much like a
regular season Dodgers lineup with Otani, Freeman, everybody in there
and five seventies. Big weekend trip is this weekend. We're
not over there.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
What do you mean?

Speaker 5 (06:50):
Oh yeah, all the important people sales.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Slow down, Just slow down when you tell me, because
Matt doesn't know this. You know, he's been in the Midwest,
shaking hands.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
And gone for seven days, having.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
A great time. And Robin elbows you know, maybe maybe
you know, don't just come back and be like, yeah,
I saw your girlfriend making out with this guy Leonardo,
Like you know, like I saw, yeah, she took two
yellow shots and started making out. Is this guy Blake? Uh?
He was like a friend of another guy in town

(07:25):
visiting from Michigan.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
I'm sorry about that.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Like well, like slow down, okay, when you break news
like that to a guy, just because Matt had some
real pipe dreams. You know that wasn't just a smoking pole.
He had real pipe dream Well, he had pipe dreams
that we were all going to get in a winter
banger or something.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
And Mark Thompson RV sponsored street road trip.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Let's go, or at least just do what we used
to do and go stay at the hotel and take
turns between going on the treadmill, pooping in the toilet
and eating at Mars and lamenting our.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Lot and live fine lottery tickets.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Amongst a bunch of convention seekers Mascot townas the Bartender,
Downtown Phoenix, Saint Mary's, the Gales, damn it, I'll die
on that hill. Yes, would you just please break it
to them a little more gently than that?

Speaker 5 (08:19):
Sorry about that, guys.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Some of our communication lines have been cut since you know,
the guy that hired us to work here no longer works.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, communication line cut and I got cucked. What are
we talking about?

Speaker 5 (08:29):
Well, I'm old enough to remember ten years ago when
it was a week long trip to spring Training for
the Petro some Money show, and then it was reduced
to three days, and then it was reduced to Hey,
if you guys want to go out but today, take
the day off. Yeah, then come back. You're more than
welcome to Now it's just not even going altogether this week.
It's just like we'd rather you're not there at all
this weekend. Take up space, and you're a problem.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
They left from.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
Burbank Airport, I think at eleven third this morning, a
party of forty sales sponsors.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Now usually back then they bring Vic the brick like
the unit like Universal Studios tour and give Vic a
mike and let him talk to the whole plane. You
remember that.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Vic used to get up on our Southwest Am five
to seventy LA Sports Express and he would deliver a
jocular safety instruction and do a little bit of Dodger talk,
do a little bit of feeling.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
You, and he'd work a little blue on the bus.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
He would work some he would work blue on the
bus and we would all and each of us would
be assigned a group of am five to seventy LA
sports listeners. Tommy might yell at some of them, our
boss might let them know how fortunate they were to
be there, and they had him to think.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
Ll sorta might have cornered a man and just yelled
at him for no reason once once, what did I do?

Speaker 2 (09:47):
I'm just trying to be nice and stay out of there.
It was at the wrong area, by the way, not really, No,
he wasn't he, No, he was not. He was just
standing somewhere and Tommy, for whatever reason, decided to tell
him he was in the wrong area.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
That weekend is this week and they left this morning
from Burbank area.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Who is they?

Speaker 5 (10:03):
Oh, it's it's everything.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
That's what we want to know.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
Why it's everybody? Who's everybody? Were everybody there? Is our
new boss with them? No, oh boss is not with them.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Well that speaks volume, but pretty much our old boss
would literally let make people get out of the bus
one by one like they were getting out to play
a football game, and hand them their ticket as they
were walking off the bus, almost like you have me
to think right, you have me to think. Here you go,
you have me to thank.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Oh look at this little guy you got with you.
Here you go, young man, trace your name, get over here, trade.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
He's gonna have the time of his life. These are
the days that memories are made, right.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
They're all going to the game tonight, which we're not caring.
But it's a big Dodgers Angels game at Camelback Ranch.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
John going to be there.

Speaker 5 (10:49):
I'm not sure if Big John will be there. He
might meet them. He lives in Arizona now full time.
I think tomorrow, I believe they're going to the game
as well, and there's a big dinner tomorrow night. Tommy
Bahama man fingers crossed, Tommy Bob. It's either that or
it's either that or Mastro's Ocean Club. Yeah, I mean,
you gotta have a douche meter, hi. I mean, I
remember when Justin Turner came to the Dinners. It was

(11:09):
a great time. I think the big MC, the big
person that's coming over to Speed.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
I remember when Good Time Party Matt slipped out the
back door with Justin Turner to go to Top Golf
and drink with all Justin and his friends. I'm just
one of the guys. See you guys.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
Well in places justin Turner. It's David Vassay, who will be.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Oh, is he the guest of honor talking to everybody.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
About Yeah, David Vassay is the guest.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
Yeah, the big weekend trip that we're not a part of.
And they're all over there right now.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Forty people. Forty people, No Petrosen money show, we got sales.
David tim Kates, host of Dodgers on Deck.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
You well, Rodney wasn't in today. Is he with them?

Speaker 5 (11:50):
Rodney is not with them? I don't think, Okay, I
think Brian Blackmore, one of our bosses, is on the
trip to Blackmore.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, Blackmore, get on that shuttle and go get the
rent a car. I'll wait here at Baggage's flame for you.
Blackmore get out and says a tire.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Here was what I'm gonna do. Blackmore.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
You're gonna go get the car. I'm onna get the luggage,
and I'm gonna meet you on the curb. Okay, send
me a text when you're on your way. You go on,
get on that last Mork, drop me off at the
at the terminal, and you go return to rent a car.

Speaker 5 (12:19):
I was talking to Jonas at the gate, Jonas in
the hall earlier with Fred Rogan from now to three.
So I was telling Jonas about our previous trips. He's like,
why aren't you guys on this trip to TERAZOLSA. Nobody
wants it, Nobody wants us around anymore. I told him
it started with the week. Then it was three days,
and then it was twenty four hours, and then it
was literally there and back in one day. And now
it's turned into just no invite.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
I mean, but at a time when we were we
had baseball uniforms and cleats. I mean, I guess played
baseball for three days.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
They tried to make us. You could say, I guess
you could say this is the same parallel or I
guess I don't know what you'd call it, Matt, like
a like an arc. This is the same story arc
as our time at Dodger Stadium has gone. Yeah, we
used to be in the parking lot guest. Well, we
used to be the guest of honor. They used to
have a whole area for us through the first pitch.

(13:06):
We used to be there. Well, no, but we didn't
do that, but you know, we were there for home
stands two or three times, and now they don't want
us around. They'd make so much money. We're a hindrance.
We just take up space. They can't make any money
off of us being there.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
I mean, what sales guy in a club shirt and
a blazer is is going to do a better job
at that dinner than us. We're the life of the party, man. Yeah,
but we're also volatile. That's very true.

Speaker 5 (13:37):
You guys are also the same ones that they were
asked in the back of the bus on the way
to count Back Ranch. Hey, you guys want to get
up and entertain people? And I remember you both said no, no,
so Vic got up and did it.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
That's fair. Well that's because Vic wanted to do it
so bad.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah, Vic was sitting next to her.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
I don't want to, Like, I'll get up and swing
my pootzo around like an idiot, but I don't like
to do it with all the sales people, like, holy real,
I don't like that. And you know, you feel pretty
stupid when you're up there dancing like a clown. And
then three hours later Tom and lusworda is in a
guy's throat.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
So would you guys have gone if they would have said,
we're playing the trip. We want you guys to go.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Of course not no, what kind of stupid question?

Speaker 3 (14:17):
No, I don't go anywhere Kate's. I barely didn't make
it going to East lansinghen Back. I just stuck recovering
from that break.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
You really have to ask, that was a rhetorical question, right.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
This thing I've ever heard in my life. Pull your
head out of your ass? What a fool.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
I kind of wanted to go, Well, of course you, No,
you should be there, Tim the freaking host of Dodgers
on deck and Dodger talking at times.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
But to be fair, Kate's was just in Arizona and
didn't didn't even go by camel Back Ranch.

Speaker 5 (14:47):
I gave it a wave on the ten Freeway going
in and going out.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
He could have gone out there and shadowed vass A
like Hartman did that one time. Oh remember that, I'm
gonna shadow you. I'd rather you didn't. I'm gonna go
and shadow your dad. Oh you had worked to do
it on a day to tons of Clay Thompson.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Oh look there is it's chapter. You gotta go introduce
me in a chapter. I want to talk to him.
You gotta take me, dame, Come up.

Speaker 5 (15:11):
There was a time you were in Arizona so long
during the week. Things kind of got loose by day
three or day four, and the boss calls like, this
is college radio.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
What is happening to you? Guts? Oh, I wonder. I
guess doing a four hour radio show in an empty,
dark stadium while watching a grounds crew clip every blade
of grass individually does not really induce a real tight
radio show. Sorry, boss.

Speaker 5 (15:39):
Well, day one you had the whole grounds crew going,
Who's back, come on back?

Speaker 3 (15:43):
I loved it.

Speaker 5 (15:44):
By day four they didn't.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Even respond to you anymore.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
I loved it.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Who is the who is the swol guy that didn't
like us? That was in the lovelace Vance Joy was
in the sweet next to us, and he got pissed off.
He didn't like how much we were yelling. It says
that you guys are being a little bit loud. That's
what the word is out there.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
The word is that you're being disrespectful.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Maybe that's ran. And then we just crapped all over
everybody at the Tommy Bahama stupid dinner. That was a
stupid speech.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Why did you talk the whole time? Steve Goby wanted
to tell stories. Shut up.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
But you guys were also out there the day that
the team was sold for Frank McCourt.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yes, we were. We were having dinner at that Mexican joint.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yeah. Those were days guys, where you know, every minute
of having to sit like with any executive or any
kind of authority, Matt and I would just be our
blood would be itching to walk outside and smoke a cigarette.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
I mean just inside or outside? Can we smoke on
a patio?

Speaker 6 (16:54):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (16:54):
We would if we could smoke inside.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
The patio, We'll take the patio. Where's your cigarette machine?

Speaker 3 (16:59):
By the way, now that we're mature and we want
to play the game like you know, now that the
ocean has turned to yogurt, we've lost our spoon. Yeah,
no one wants us around anymore. The Dodgers have had
too much success. There's too much money being made and
you don't need the old Petrosen money showing person to
sell it.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
And by the way, I'd like to point this out.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
So you used to make us our own jerseys with
our name.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Exactly, and we would say, what the hell is this?
This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. And let
me point this out, yes, Or do we leave something
to be desired when it comes to grabbing the CB
on the Southwest flight, or the PA on the bus
or a microphone that was brought in by Dave Wis

(17:41):
at the Tommy Bahammad dinner. Sure, but you put us
at a bar where people can vape and find themselves
a discount cremation and we're getting everybody drunk. Do you
remember the debauchery of the sales staff at that freaking
Irish bar? People got freaking sideway? Do I remember at

(18:03):
at Sideways mcfaft Sideways?

Speaker 3 (18:08):
Look, Matt, did we take liberties with some of our
female guests.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yes, yes, yes we did. And that was the same
place where our boss got an uber and ditched us.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Well, that was to get to the airport to escape. Overall, though,
I do think, I do think that maybe our lack
of respect for the sales process and acting like we
were above everything and snickering and snickering and everything, I
think that hurt us in the long I think the
acting like we were above it.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
I don't know. Big John loved us.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
He did, but he was very he was very loving
towards every.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, he really was holy cow guy gives you a
bear hug, you think you might die.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
If he's still the CEO of a major company, I'm
sure they'll still have him around as long as he's
given the station money.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
So what I'd like to do is buy you by
spots on the radio station and go.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
To all the games. I would unequivocally not go.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
If we were asked to go, all right, maybe next year, then.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
Well, I'd like to be asked. That's the thing. It's like,
I'd love to be invited to everything. I might not go.
In fact, the probability is that I will not go,
but I would still like to be invited.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
I think I think if our original plan was executed
that you would have been excited. I think you would
have been thrilled with the idea of climbing in and
Mark Thompson RV Kates.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
Is driving live stream the whole time.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, We've got the com Rex going with the dual
cellular card and we are broadcasting live man. We are
putting it out there in the world. Live road trips
stop at Joshua Tree. Three pronged vapegs a three pronged
vape hookah, A tribute to Houka Doncic, because that's a
funny name said by a really funny man. Like all
of those things gonna happen on that roadie. And by

(20:03):
the way, I have it on good authority that our
boss is driving right now and probably listening. Actually is
probably listening to KFI because it's a much better program
than what we got going here. But he could be
listening right now and we could be planting seeds for
him in the future, like you know what I should
get those? I just want to be asked in an R.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
The question isn't whether or not we took a few
liberties with our female guests. We did.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yeah, instant panic, remember that was it? McFadden's.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
Yeah, we had a lot of great moments. We had
a lot of great moments.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
What's the first thing that goes through your mind, JP
when you get that call in the bullpen?

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Instant panic?

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Really, instant panic? Huh I forgot about JPL? Yeah, instant panic.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
You know that they forgot about us? Kate, You're right,
And if Kate's doesn't get a ring, I'm gonna I'm gonna, yeah,
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go full set of a woman,
me too.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
I'm gonna go full office space, burn it all down.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
Don't say that, mad.

Speaker 5 (21:12):
Imagine if we were in an RV, we could have
pulled over like josh Rosen and his bros. Just kind
of sat around, you know, Chris Cross Applesauce. I'm saying,
like Joshua Tree, just think about life, That's what I
want to do. Could have Kates get us all.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Blown off the road where them turbines are and Palm
Springs because he doesn't know how to drive an r VE.
Seeks that very aero dynamic might happen. Go to the
Palm Springs Walk of Fame.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
Jerky and blythe locks in court site, Let's go.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Oh, come on, hit up the river.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Not gonna happen. Nobody wants us anymore. Let me back. Yeah, Well,
David vassaying people want him. He's the guest of honor
this year at the Tommy Bahamas.

Got throw some money. AM five to seventy LA Sports
Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app Two games tonight, one
on our sister station, AM eleven fifty UCLA Perdue and
right here at seven o'clock Clippers v. Lakers six pm,
pre seven pm.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Tip Well Matt We're scheduled to talk to David Vasse,
but his schedule is a little bit bungled, I believe
because of the night game. What happened, well, much like
for Fred Rogan and Rodney, a night game just throws
them completely off, apparently, because.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Dave's not there, right, I know he's not. I thought
maybe he was on the com res the fancy comrack connection,
and that's why he wasn't on hold, and I was
just prepping all my Dodger questions for him here in
the break.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
No, no, Dave is not there, unfortunately. But that's okay, guys,
we could do some other things in the world of
great sports talk. While great sports talk you did just return.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
I'm watching a gun on an NFL network. I feel
like I'm really missing out here.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Well, speaking of that gauntlet, uh, this was a pretty
good thing and maybe ron Ronnie has it in there.
We were going to do it in the next segment.
This was a text and it got me thinking about
and I really wish oh well, right on joining us now,

(23:31):
David vas Live from spring training, the Home of the
Dog with an inside look at the Dodgers. This is
the Vassie Report with David Vasse, David Vasse a little
twacked out because it's a night game. I'm under the lights.
Except the Angels have a split squad today and they've

(23:52):
played most of their starters in that game. But Otani's
out there, and David Vasse is to Cactus League Maven
prickly as any cactus in all of Arizona, especially a
weekend the spring training David Vase Spectrum Sports of course,
MLB Network, and us right here on AMPI Sports, on

(24:15):
your Southern California Toyota Dealer, Celebrity Hotline, the greatest reporter
in the world. What's cracking, Dave? How are you?

Speaker 7 (24:22):
I'm doing great. I'm here on the back field, so
I kind of felt like it's Saturday already. There's a
it's a weekend vibe out here at camel Back Branch.
And are I don't know if you still call him
swarmy or not, but Dave Weese has a bunch of
people that we're partners with out here on the back field.
And Big John Fuller, Oh my god, here, beautiful white show.

(24:46):
He is here. Hey, he just gave you a tip
of the cap, guys. He still likes you, guys.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
We just asked about him if he was going to
be there, that's wonderful.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Yeah, what is he's the CEO of BUCkies? Now what's
he the CEO of Twin Peaks? Are you?

Speaker 7 (25:02):
Are you the CEO of Twin Peaks or BUCkies?

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Now?

Speaker 7 (25:06):
Oh, he's retired. He's living the good life. Now, look
at that, all right? He lives out here. He's a
snowbird in the desert.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Beautiful.

Speaker 7 (25:13):
But yeah, it's a great feeling out here. There's a
lot of buzz around camp the weekend. There's only two
more weekends left, so fans are definitely flocking to Camelback
Ranch for these three days.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Who are they all screaming for Dave? We can hear
him yelling for somebody in the background. Whose attention are
they trying to get?

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Is that for you?

Speaker 7 (25:34):
No, it's Mookie Betts, who wears a beanie all over
camp even though it's eighty degrees. It's the most fascinating
storyline of camp here that Mooki wears a beanie everywhere
he goes Dave.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
There was some news about rookie Sasaki that they're gonna
let him face real batters in a real spring training game.
I know that he's been coming along, maybe a little
slower or maybe a little more stubbornly than the Dodgers
have expect And I know they expect him to pitch
out in Tokyo when you guys take that trip. How
significant is that he's starting Tuesday?

Speaker 7 (26:09):
Right, Yeah, He's not starting Petro. That's the curve to
all of it. Yamamoto is going to start that game
against the Reds a camel back ranch and Sazaki will
follow piggyback Yamamoto in that game. And they had a
conversation with both of them and they are both okay

(26:29):
with it, and they are going to let Suzaki know
which inning he will be coming in for so he
could do the appropriate preparations in the bullpen to be
ready to come in and start that first inning whenever
it's whenever it is, maybe the fifth inning, sixth inning.
But he's going to piggyback Yamamoto in that game.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Dave sticking with the staff. I don't know how you
feel about Buster Rolney. I like him. I think he
does a bang up.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
I like him. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (26:55):
He posted a podcast.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
He posts his top ten starting pitchers for the twenty
twenty five season. Highest. Yeah, Okay, so you saw this.
So he's got snell Zille at five, that's the highest Dodger.
And then in the honorable mentions he has both Otani
and Yamamoto, but no Tyler glassnow. Thoughts on Glass now

(27:19):
being left out of that mix. When he was your
kind of opening day it felt like, while he was healthy,
sort of ace on this staff last year.

Speaker 7 (27:28):
Because he is a big question mark. And the big
question mark is when he gets on the mound. When
he does get on the mound, he's really good. But
I know last year he pitched more innings and made
more starts than he had in his entire career, surpassing
two years prior. But that's the question mark. You can't

(27:48):
put a guy in your top five if he's always hurt.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
Dave, are you? Are you the guest of honor at
tomorrow's big dinner at Tommy Bahama? Out there? I am.

Speaker 7 (28:00):
I'll be sitting at a Dodger talk show from there,
and Andre Ethier is going to come by and you guess, God, yeah, yeah,
We're doing a big Dodger talk show that will air
on Thursday, and you could find it on the iHeartRadio
app as well.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
So people are making plans, Matt. I mean, there's all
kinds of stuff, plans. It's just yeah, it's all happening
without us. Did you hear any mentioned, Dave of like, hey,
maybe we should get Petros some money involved there, anything
like that regarding any any of these events out there.

Speaker 7 (28:34):
Well, it's the weekend, so they figured you weren't available.
You know, you guys don't really work on Saturday, and
that's at the combine logistically, it just wouldn't work. I mean,
there's a limited number of plates at the dinner, so
I mean, you know how that I don't know if
I have you know how I.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
Am when I yeah, when I see a foe of event,
you know, like he said, he's really big, eats.

Speaker 7 (28:59):
A lot, great, you have a great appetite for life
and for dinner. So anyway, No, I have not heard
any mention of Petro some money. It was a shock
that he actually called me. You know, I'm in the
middle of talking to people like Jeff Thomas, Big, John Fuller,
make March Matter, all of these people here, they're just

(29:22):
clamoring for a taste of vassa.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
Dave.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
If you're to be if you're to be truthful with us.
When you think about the salad days and the days
we all shared together. It's spring training. Does a little
piece of you miss us? Are you happy that we're
not there?

Speaker 6 (29:41):
No?

Speaker 7 (29:42):
I mean you guys would parachute in for a wacky
drunk broadcast from an Irish bar that now has been
closed down. As shuddered, But yeah, there's fads shut it.
It is the coyotes left and McFadden's couldn't survive.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
That's fair.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Where do people eat?

Speaker 7 (30:04):
Not at that mall anymore. I mean that there's no
point of going there unless there's a concert. But the
concerts usually at the Cardinals Stadium there, so yeah, they
still got the yard house though.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Oh well that you spend when you drink, you know,
that's what they have.

Speaker 7 (30:23):
I'm really taking off guard here. I'm a little off
balanced that you guys really wanted to do something. You
guys don't like to go anywhere.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
No, David, it's not that we want to go, but
we want to be invited. You know what I'm saying.
We would like to be included so we can say no,
and that is our feeling. There is excitement, Dave, around
the stadium tonight is it because it's a night game.
Is it because O'tani is going to be out there?
The Angels already played all their starters, so nobody's gonna

(30:50):
get to see Rengifol.

Speaker 7 (30:53):
Yeah, this is the first night game. It's a Friday night.
Like I mentioned, there's only two more weekends to go
here for the Dodgers in Area Zona before they head
out to Tokyo. So as the spring goes closer to March,
the crowds get bigger on the weekend. So that's the
reason why a lot of fans are just really excited
that they had tickets for tonight's game. They did not

(31:15):
plan it around Otani's starting because tickets were long sold
out for this game between the Dodgers and Angels under
the lights. So yeah, that's the reason why there's so
much buzz. There's a lot of different things, convergences happening
at the same time with Otani making his debut, and
don't forget Will Smith. How could we forget Will Smith
making his Cactus League debut tonight as well?

Speaker 3 (31:38):
Clad appreciate that this effusive personality is going to be
on display under the light. It's contagious, all right, Dave
have a great night and enjoy everybody's company out there.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Back to Big John, Tell Big John.

Speaker 7 (31:53):
Thanks, we miss you, guys. I miss you. I think
about United Day.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Mmm. We talked to that last part last a little
little too much.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
All right, we'll return. That is David Vasse. It's a
real party out there. Buster Poindexter is going to sing
God Bless America and the seventh Inning strap.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Isn't he sick?

Speaker 3 (32:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (32:20):
I think he's like, uh yeah, he's he's kind of
right there at the end.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Well that you know, was that necessary, Matt, Was it necessary?

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Well, if you said he was gonna sing him like,
I don't think you like on the on the.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
I mean it was obviously browaway line. I mean you
have to stick me with him nine from the way out.
I mean, it's all ready to get invited in nothing.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Just gonna point out he's gonna come on the text
do so anyway, and then you're gonna have to bring
it up in the next segment.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
Yes, I'm sure our text dos is right on it.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
I mean, David Joeansen as an issue, it's gonna find
its way to you. That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
No, No, I appreciate that Matt welcome. Yeah, no, just
just just push me into the tracks. Guy's like feeling
hot hop. You know I heard he's right at the end.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
It is a Friday, poor guy.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
You know, he's really evaluating his.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Life, really cruising into this weekend, aren't I.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
We'll be right back with more petros and money on
a m seventy l a sports stay hot.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Lakers pregame. The Bruins gonna take on the boiler Makers,
big showdown in West Lafayette that will tip off at
five p m. And five pm.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Man, that sounds like such an exotic place, right, like
such a really cool like you know, like French people,
maybe cafes, maybe on some kind of canal, you know,
West la Fayette. What a beautiful, beautiful sounding place.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
They got a creamery and a soda fountain. I mean
those are the two most popular spots in town.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Yeah, so I'm married the most popular guy in town,
the soda jerk. Right. Well, we appreciate you listening. We
still got Sonny Bacarro is going to join us in
our final hour. We talked to David Masse. Michelle. You
who you gonna call about Santa Anita? Michelle, you when
I met that's coming up to don't forget to podcast

(34:48):
the show on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 5 (34:50):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Here's a text for you, Matt.

Speaker 6 (34:52):
The secret text does a fine brought to you by
your so called Toyota dealers.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
We make it easy.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
This says, forget camelback Ranch. They said, send you guys
to Japan. Kave viva happon. Uh. I would like the invite, you.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Know, like anything, I would accept.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
That you'd go to hapone Viva hopone.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
I absolutely would.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
That would put a lot of pressure on me, Matt.
It would. That would put a lot of pressure.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
It would. But I think you would appreciate a trip
to Japan.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
What was to say that I wouldn't get wrapped up
in tentaical sex or something like that.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
I'm dalking about. They have things there that you really enjoy.
You love the Hello Kitty, you love tent sex.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
You're right, You're right, You're right. I mean, but all
that stuff is like on the internet. It's not like
you can buy DVD and man, and if it's on
the internet, then your wife sees that you bought it,
you're screwed.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
That's just seeing it.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
Man.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
I want you to live it.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
I was raped by an optimus.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
I don't want you to see it, man, I want
you to feel it.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Well, it would be fun to go to Japan. Unfortunately,
Matt and I are not even invited inside the stadium
really anymore, which you know, and that comes with the
level of popularity that the Dodgers have achieved, I suppose,
or the fact that we've worn out our welcome with
our insolence. I think it's yeah, and that's very possible.

(36:26):
And I understand that, and and I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed
for both of us. Speaking of embarrassing, here's another text.
This says a podcasting Matt's recap of the Sergeant Schultz
rap sheet altercation. I heard the actual audio was something
like this, hey, rapaport, you better shut your f up,

(36:48):
which was immediately after he came out of a Starbucks
bathroom emergency toilet. He's a small kid who doesn't know
how to fight. Well, let's listen to that zipas versus
Madvedev and see if there's any similarities. Ronnie, do we
have that man? You better shut your okay? Lenny, Lenny,
hey seven, does you want to look at me and talk?

Speaker 6 (37:11):
You have some roles to go emergency toilet for five
minutes and then you say, then you hit let and
you don't say sorry.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
You think you're a good kid. Look at me, Ay,
look at me. N you don't look at me.

Speaker 6 (37:23):
He started it, He started it. He started it, Yes,
he started it. He said, Russian, you think this is normal,
I answered him. Because he doesn't know how to fight,
and he's a small kid.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
He doesn't know how to fight. What about the lacrosse
any If you don't say anything, I have no problems
with him.

Speaker 7 (37:43):
But if he said something to me and.

Speaker 6 (37:45):
He wants to fight, he needs to do it because
he doesn't look at me.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
Now, uh, I thought a little bit about I mean,
beside the Northwest, he is sort of close to Russia,
you know, James Schultz from Seattle. Yeah, very I mean
it's right.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
Other than Alaska, that's as close as you can get
from the United States, unless Hawaii's closer. But you know, Matt,
I thought a little bit about what you said about
Garifolo being there, right, and Garifolo kind of sort of
inching up to help rap Aport, And then it's not
about Garifolo and Rapaport, double teeming. Schultz and bouncing all

(38:26):
around like the wrestlers, like the little people fighting in
Nacho lebrit like two little guys fighting one big guy,
like jumping around and unison and biting the ankles of
the larger opponent. I thought about that a little bit,
and then I thought, why are we paying so much
deep attention to these things? Well, we can't help it

(38:47):
because we like embarrassing and weird situations. But also, both
idiots arguing about how important the Tom Brady Matt Stafford
mont Whitefish, Montana chalet rendezvous was. They both were having
their chains yanked by the freaking agent of Matthew Stafford,

(39:07):
Jimmy Sexton.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
I mean, we all look like idi master manipulator. He
makes ads look like fools, he makes radio hosts look
like fools.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
He's got those guys fighting in a Starbuck.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
Right, men who make millions of dollars a year. We're
doing nothing more than sharing NFL information, a complete waste.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
I deem you to wear a suit, comb your hair tightly,
and I will tell you what's a tweet.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
Yes, sir, I'm in.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
That's not a job.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
Sign me up for that.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
That's not a job at all, You los her this
is a job, great sports talk, blank canvas, buster Poindexter
not feeling so hot, hot hot. You know what, guys
try to play a celebratory song because it's a big
night at camel Back Ranch and Matt has to go

(40:02):
and kill us with the information.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
That the guy Ronnie backed me up. I said it,
and he's like, yes, as a matter of fact, he
is sick.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Great, I appreciate that, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
This.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
I also have a Texas is on the New.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
York Dallas newsletter list Okay.

Speaker 3 (40:18):
I have I have a text that says I'm back
Matt on the buster point extra point. It's like, oh,
thanks for backing Matt on the fact that the man
is sick. Back up, Matt.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Usually the listeners don't have my back for anything, but
on this one they're feeling me.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
Should we get Bruce Feldman on to tell us exactly
what the fight was like? Or is that a little
I think we get Garifolo on, Do you think he'll
tell us?

Speaker 4 (40:49):
Like? What?

Speaker 3 (40:49):
Really? I think? I finally put a picture out and
Schultz looks like he's like he looks like the jolly
green Giant, literally like in their hands on his hips
with his head looking like he could be getting if
you would, if you took if you took made it
ai and took his clothes off. It looked like he's
getting pull smoke. He was standing there with his hands

(41:13):
on his hips.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Where was it on the Twitter?

Speaker 3 (41:15):
Straight down? Yeah? Yeah, one of those one of those
one hundred media members that were there, one of them
had the sense to at least take a picture.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
For God's sakes anyway, why wouldn't they run video? Nobody
takes pictures. You run video.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
I don't understand. Honestly, I don't understand. Oh yeah, there
it is, see it doesn't it look like he could
be getting his pule smoke, Like he's really taking advantage
of his of the size advantage. Yeah, hands on hips,
hands on hips, staring, chin on chest, chin on chest,
hands on hips. Oh, Laku decided to waltz into a

(41:49):
Starbucks enemy territory for you home game for me, rap Aport,
Would you step to Ugga between the hedges?

Speaker 2 (42:01):
Welcome to my world?

Speaker 3 (42:02):
Bitch? Isn't this a drunk show? Question? Mark?

Speaker 7 (42:06):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (42:07):
What is else? What else is there to do in
Phoenix besides Dodger spring training drinking and smoking pole. Well,
there's vaping, but I guess that goes right with the
pole smoking. Yeah, I guess there's water sports on those
weird man made canal things.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
M yeah, I mean I'm with you. It's smoking, vapor drinking, Oh, golfing,
big golf spot, Phoenix, you know, Glendale, shopping for blue
turquoise jewelry. There's that.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
I like that, right, but we can do that here? Well,
not like that, though, yeah you can now, I.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Mean, look, can we shop for cheese here?

Speaker 3 (42:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Is it solving?

Speaker 4 (42:50):
No?

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Okay, not not at all.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
Seattle is closer to come Chop of Russia then Hawaii,
but not by a lot.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Thank you, sir, appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
Look, when Kates isn't around, uh yeah, I think he's
going to uh I don't know, spectrum or something.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
He's doing the pre for the cupas meeting.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
Oh, I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Or it's just going to smoke some pole.

Speaker 3 (43:20):
Yeah, it could be that. But when Kates isn't around,
I'll tell you what happens. We get our geography correct,
that's right, that's true. Oh, this just in Kates is
having technical sex with a schoolgirl. A technical undo a
technical monster dressed as a schoolgirl.
