It is time now for the final hour fun fast
in effect.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Yeah, we're three fun fact.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Well, did you know the availability of chocolate incredibly low
post World War Two because most of the world's armies
issued rations of chocolate to their soldiers. So to fill
the gap and the craving for the sweet, in nineteen
forty six, Pietrow Ferrero created a spread with tiny amounts
(03:13):
of chocolate and plenty of at the time inexpensive hazelnuts.
The result nutella.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Wow, that's awesome, isn't this great? Nutella?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Kobe Bryant used to endorse nutella.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yes, and they dropped him, they did.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I embarrassingly love nutella and it will and we'll eat
it off a spoon.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
And that guy's keeping in a big vat in your house.
Do you have the vat of nutella where you bathe?
In it like a dirty, dirty dog.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
It's we don't have the giant one, but I routine
I routinely get the standard sized Nutella.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
I'm gonna get you the big one, Matt, so you
can go full American pie.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Can you go generic version nutella? Or does it have
to be Nutella?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
It's so much the telling Utella is so much better.
It's there's something about it. It's not the same. It's
not as creamy. It there's yeah, I've done the Jiff
peanut butter chocolate and no good there. It's got to
be Nutella.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
It's all right?
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Yeah, tele talk, that's good new tell it talk everybody,
all right, p Kobe Bryant, all right, I got the
word of the day.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
His words. The word of the day, Matt.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Today's word of the day is good enough, because this
place has got to be good enough. Now stop me, Matt,
oh ho, stop me, stop me if you think that
you've heard this wonderful. There is a bar in San
(04:49):
Clemente that is completely and totally dedicated to a Goonies motif.
It is called the Lost Inferno, and it literally looks
like the greatest place. I mean, this is what happens
(05:10):
when people like us get to a certain age and
they can afford to open a bar. It is fully
goonied out, it says, journey to the goon docks of
Astoria to discover the Lost Inferno. Embrace your inner reject
and pirate yearn to the finest rum from around the globe.
(05:36):
It's our time down here.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
As you like to office, Oh down here goes up there.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Never say die.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Oh look at this place.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Yes, it's on a north El Camino in San Clemente,
which is not a place that I would recommend outsiders
hang around in a lot as opposed to some other
Orange County beach towns. But how can you keep people
away from the Lost Inferno. It seems like every first
Sunday of the month they do a magic show for
(06:05):
magic Dorks, and that thing is totally totally sold out.
You can't even can't even get in there. But all
the other stuff looks to be really vibrant and cool
and exciting, and they have like a weird like that
fountain thing, I mean, just the motif. I mean, of course, Matt,
(06:26):
you're a huge fan of tiki culture and tiki bars.
Love the tiki t on East Sunset is a favorite
of yours, which is still there.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Still there, still there. I can't stop scrolling through these
photos on yelpeace.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Right, and it's like it's just in one of those weird,
kind of innocuous shopping centers in San Clemente, which is
a weird complex beach town. And with ways and Google Maps,
it's a lot easier to find places like that. They
all up in a new tiki bar in the area
here in Torrance called.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
The Hula Hula Room, and I have not visited that
of course. You know, come on, man, I don't deserve happiness.
Way you go.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Anywhere on that again, But what's a fact today? Anyway,
it looks pretty cool. If you in San Clemente without
your children, or if your kids are over twenty one,
i'd say hit up that rum.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
So it's this way, this is the way it always is.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Yeah, Like it's not like it's a theme because of
the fortieth anniversary of Goonies this year.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
This is no, it's just there. The Lost Inferno.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, I can't get enough of this. This is fantastic.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yeah, and San Clemente, as you mentioned, Matt, when we
were down at Monarch Beach, which is Dana Point, which
is right above San Clemente. You were like, this is
damn near San Diego. Yeah, and you know that you're
even closer if you're at the Lost Inferno. But yeah,
I saw that pop up on Instagram. You know, we
(08:05):
got always the stories about this goonies thing or that
goonies thing, and this guy is doing the house in
a storia to make it look like it did in
the movies, and the neighbors hate it and all these
different stories. This one's a little closer to home for
your goony types to go down and enjoy yourself. The
Chester copper pot drink. It's like it's in that copper
(08:28):
mug with the not since last month, Matt, when the Trader,
when I discovered the Trader Vick's glass wire is on sale.
Have I been this excited about the tiki bar motif?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Did you ever buy any of that stuff? By the way,
did you?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
No, don't deserve it, idiot.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Here's your number of the day. Here's my number of
the day. As an audio component, it is seventy five
seventy five seconds all right left. In Game one of
the NBA Finals, Pacers have erased nearly erased to fourteen
point deficit when it was ninety six eighty two in
(09:10):
the fourth quarter with nine minutes left. They currently trail
by three a minute fifteen left. They're gonna do it again,
just like they did it to Giannis and the Bucks,
to Donovan Mitchell and the Cavs, to Jalen Brunson in
the Knicks. Every single round, this resilient team has overcome
a huge hole late in the game to gut out
(09:31):
a win in the most dramatic of fashions. Tyres Halliburton,
we know what he's capable of anything late in the game.
It is must watch TV, especially if you're in the
state of Indiana. Maybe it's not Indianapolis, but even the
far reaches like Fort Wayne are cheering on their Pacers.
(09:55):
And ABC Channel sixteen, ten fifty nine pm, seventy five
seconds left in the game. Chime time check ten fifty
nine seconds. PACER's chasing their first ever NBA championship. But
the game's gone a little bit long.
Speaker 3 (10:12):

was always trying to ram run the challenge promo.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Run it.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Uh, there's there's a minute fifteen left in the game.
The Pacers were down fourteen and they've cut it to three.
You know how these things end. I don't think we

Speaker 5 (12:00):
You know I heard Brielsen Punster TV. But it's uh yeah,
you know, Matt. It kind of it kind of harkens
to the Walmart, the Dodger signs that Tim Kates pulled
out in Burbank that have caused a stir on social media,
the weird Dodger AI signs. You leave people to these things,
(12:23):
and they're idiots. You know, the local people in Fort
wayn are idiots.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Idiots.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
The marketing guy at the Burbank Walmart, forgive us, he's
an idiot.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
I'm just gonna ai these things. It's gonna be a
lot cheaper. I'm gonna save some money.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
It works for me. He's got a beard.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Actually, he looks like a g monkey.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
He looks kind of chubby. We'll take it.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
That's not Mounsie unless he's obese. According to many of
our listeners.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Uh, it's time for Ronnie.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
This is the song of the day.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
The Dave bru Bec Quartet presents our song of the
Day with a distinctive approach of the classic jazz tune
Saint Louis Blues, digging that jazzy vibe on a frog

Speaker 2 (14:31):
The Dodgers is with an inside look at the Dodgers.
This is the Vass Report with David Vasse, the one.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
And only David Vasse live under the arch in Saint
Louis with the Dodgers after a huge victory yesterday, Tommy
Edmund back in the lou A lot of things to
talk about with our guy David Vass, who is the
greatest baseball reporter going right now MLB Network and Spectrum
(15:03):
Sports Net, but right here on AM I seventy LA Sports.
You'll hear him throughout the evening on all Dodger programming.
What's cracking, Dame?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
How are you?
Speaker 7 (15:11):
I'm doing great. I'm out here on the field at
Bush Stadium, and I just got down to one of
the biggest stories of yesterday's postgame celebration. My two guys,
Freddie Freeman and John Mayer hanging out postgame because John
Mayer wanted to meet Freddie Freeman. How about that?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
How about that? Is Freddy Freeman a John Mayer fan?
Speaker 7 (15:38):
Yeah, he likes his music. I asked him. I said, Hey,
you like John Mayery. You know I've been front row
at a Hollywood Bull show. He's like, yeah, John, John
Mayer's like invited, ready to come out to the next
show backstage. So yeah, I would say, Freddie Freeman definitely
likes John Mayer's music.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Don't you think the Dead show with Mayor's gonna freak
Freddy out?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Matt?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I think it would absolutely freak Freddy out.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Okay, just like a just be like a Mayor David
Vasse slow dance show.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Yeah, let's make out in the box.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
I started to think gravity to Freddie while he was
doing his infield work with Chris Woodwork.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
How did he did he how did he feel about that?
Speaker 7 (16:18):
He laughed?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Good one.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Dave, shut up, Dave, Hey, since you're in Saint Louis, Dave,
what about all those Nolan Arenado trade rumors?
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Huh yeah, I mean we'll see, We'll see how Nolan
does in this series. But he's sitting sixth in the
Cardinals lineup now, and he's sitting two twenty five, So
I know that's the cachet name. It would have been
great if they could if Nolan would have found his
way to La five years ago. But thirty five years
old hitting two twenty five in a very sad city
(16:51):
of Saint Louis is not. What's the recipe for the Dodgers?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I mean, get him, David.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
I saw this analogy on on social media. It's like
hooking up with your ex high school crush, but now
she's she's divorced with four kids.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
That's Nolan, Aaron out or the Dodgers.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
Yeah, that's a great analogy.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Great Wizards sleeving or not.
Speaker 7 (17:14):
No, Dave, Hey, By the way, guys, I just want
to set the scene for you. There's a lot of
Japanese media on the field right now in anticipation of
Otani moving up his weekly live batting practice session to
today because tomorrow there's a lot of rain and it's
a day game Sunday, same thing. So uh, the Japanese
(17:37):
media has been peppering the peppering me with questions about
whether or not Otani is going to throw a live VP.
I was on the same bus from the hotel to
Bush Stadium with Otani, maybe a little earlier than he
usually is, so they may be onto something. But I
just wanted to show you that because they are breathing
out of my tech as we speak.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Before we look too far forward, let's just look back
really quick. How big was that win yesterday for this
team's confidence as you traveled with them to Saint Louis.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Just huge, Petros because the Mets I really outplayed the
Dodgers for those four games, and their starting pitchers really
gave them fits. The Dodgers only scored in two innings
in out of twenty six innings the starters pitch for
the Mets. So to get to read Garrett and the
Mets bullpen not just once but twice in that series
(18:29):
is really the identity of this Dodger offense going back
the last ten years, they wear the starter down and
usually take advantage of when he's out of the game. Now,
allowing David Peterson to do a number on them for
seven innings is not usually the script. But they are
able to get out there for the eighth inning and
score some runs. And like I've said a few million
(18:51):
times before, this Dodger offense is never out of games,
and for them to have the last at bat at
home is huge. It's the difference between and losing games.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Dave heard your voice on the post game yesterday as
you were talking to Mookie Betts. Well, were you able
to kind of get from him? How bad is the toe?
Should we be concerned about the toe? It certainly didn't
look like it bothered him much.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
No, it's not an issue anymore. The way he was
moving around, it doesn't even seem like anybody's thinking about it.
I mean, Austin Barnes last year broke his big toe
twice and he's a catcher. It was bloody, bruised and
broken and he was able to play. So if he's
able to do that, you know, the second to last
(19:35):
toe on Mookie's foot should definitely be able to cooperate
with him. And I'm not sure if you guys heard
this yesterday, but Tony Gonflin broke one of the toes
on Francisco Lindor's foot, hitting him with a slider the
first st at out of the third game. So two
shortstops with broken toes. And our guy Max Munsey's out
(19:57):
here with his fancy new eyeglasses, his fancy new love,
and he's got a wine event on June twelfth. You
might want to tap into that.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Sounds like a great idea. I'll drink the swill bucket
David Vassain.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
Brobert for a cons on June twelfth. You got to
check it out.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
All right, we'll plug that, but you know we need
to plug First Davis service Titan because they're great at
what they do. Southern California commercial and residential contractors using
service Titan software typically see a seventeen percent increase in
revenue in their first two years.

Speaker 5 (20:30):
How big of a story is Edmund or is it
being back in Saint Louis or is it not a
story anymore? Because Otani's gonna throw.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Maybe well, Jim Hayes is out here. He's the dean
of the Cardinals media. He's already hovering around the Dodgers dugout,
waiting for Tommy Edmund, who became a world champion with
the Dodgers when the Cardinals made one of the worst
traits at the deadline last year.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Tommy Edmund a champion and a big reason why the
Dodgers were able to end their full season World Series
drought since nineteen eighty eight. He'll be center stage day,
but also Tanner Scott would assume you had another conversation
with him after these last couple outings and how dominant
he's been mowing through that Mets lineup with Soto, Alonso
(21:13):
and Nimo the first time and then getting out of
the night with just a single single this last time out.
Kind of what have you taken away from what he
said and whether or not he's maybe found something here.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
It just seemed like before the game talking to him yesterday,
his mindset was a lot different Matt, a lot more focused,
a lot more aggressive. The way he pitched yesterday, I
think you saw that, and I really do believe we
could get into pitching mechanics and all that. That's something
for the pitching coaches. But for him to strike out
Soto and Alonso on the top of the tenth inning
(21:47):
in that second game to give the Dodgers an opportunity
to win it on Freddy's walk off double, to me,
that was huge for his psyche. And just talking to
him before the game yesterday, he was fired up, and
I'm taking whole credit.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Oh, come on, Dave.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
Well, I mean that you've got to be able to uh,
to remind guys that you know, this is not just
you know, in a vacuum. There are people that care,
there are expectations, and you know, I just think Tanner
Scott had enough just about the way he was pitching.
Obviously there were some mechanical adjustments, but whatever he did,
(22:26):
it worked, and his confidence just went through the roof
after striking out Soda and Alonzo. I've got to build
upon that.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Matt's taking some credit as well for some harsh words
from this.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Sometimes you got to be honest.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
You know, I didn't hear anybody rap I didn't hear
anybody of roast Matt when he got on the team
plane yesterday. As I was walking through the coaches section.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Oh you got ras, Dave, Oh, I got roasted.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
It was like when I jumped on the plane prior
started getting the whole coaches riled up as I was
walking through their fancy first class section.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
O what they say like enemy in the ranks or what?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (23:04):
There he is start it up? Hey. I was like, Hey,
you're welcome, all of you.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Yeah, they wear it, Dave. Speaking of reminding somebody of something.
What's going on with the Dodger connection tonight in the Bronx.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
Oh yeah, Walker freaking Bueler pitching at Yankee Stadium tonight
for the Red Sox, first time. Buehler is back at
Yankee Stadium since Game five of the World Series, when
he closed out the World Championship win for the Dodgers.
Let's see if he breaks off a curveball to Austin Wells,
and let's see if Wells has the guts to give
(23:40):
him the peace sign like he did after he struck
him out last year. Bueller's going to shove tonight at
Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
If he does, Dave, if he does rally around the family,
does a passing piece about Walker Buehler. If the Red
Sox continue to struggle or find themselves out of the race.
Does that ever move the needle with the team? Does
anybody talk to you about something like that?
Speaker 7 (24:04):
No, you know, as we get closer to July, Guy
July thirty, first, guys will ask me, Hey, what do
you think? Who do you think we're gonna get? What
do you think? What do you think we need? So
that's the kind of talk we get. But honestly, guys,
last week, in between the Tanner Scott stuff, I had
talked about if the dysfunctional Red Sox continue to flounder,
(24:27):
the signing of Walker Bueller was brilliant because if they
made the playoffs, they had a great playoff pitcher. If
they didn't make the playoffs, they had a great trade
chip in Buehler, who's on a one year contract, so
it makes sense his name is out there. I would
love to see him back with the Dodgers. I also
believe that the Braves are going to continue to be
(24:48):
dysfunctional and flounder as well like they did yesterday. Chris
Sale is another one of those type of pitchers that
you would love to have in the postseason. And the
guy tonight you asked me about, Nolan Aronado. The guy
that fits the Dodgers the best on the Cardinals is
Ryan Helsley, their closer. He's gonna be very much in

Speaker 4 (26:52):
On this June the sixth, his birthday, that Kirk Krekorian,
who would have been one hundred and eight to day
corn and Fresno, was a pilot had a contribution to
World War Two that was not storming the beach in
Normandy eighty one years ago today, but incredibly important to
(27:12):
the Allied cause. He flew planes from Canada for the
British Royal Air Force, an incredibly dangerous job. One in
forty flights would not make it, but he took it
on like a champion. He learned that the British Royal
Air Force was ferrying Canadian built to Haveland mosquitos over
the North Atlantic to Scotland. Not easy because the mosquito's
(27:32):
fuel tank only carried fourteen hundred miles worth of fuel.
The trip was twenty two hundred miles. Now he's safer,
but considerably longer. With all the stops Montreal, Labrador, Greenland,
Iceland Scotland route would take forever. Or if you had
big enough balls, you would take what they called the
(27:53):
Iceland wave, which if you caught it just right, blew
the planes at jet speed to Europe. But it wasn't constant.
He might have to ditch your plane. But kirkory And
said f that, I'm an Iceland Wave guy. And in
two and a half years with the RAF Ferry Command
he delivered thirty three planes, logged thousands of hours and
helped the Allies win the war. Saved most of his money.
(28:16):
When he got out, started flying, bought a Cessna, hung
out in Vegas, spent a lot of time there and
realized hole in the market. I'm going to run a
shuttle trans International Airlines between La and Vegas for these
rich guys that like gambling. Bought it for sixty grand,
sold it twenty years later for one hundred and four
million dollars. Bought eighty acres in Vegas across the street
(28:39):
from them a Flamingo for nine hundred and sixty thousand dollars.
Almost immediately Caesars asked if they could build on it
and paid him nine million dollars one year later for
the land. In sixty seven, he built the largest hotel
in the world, the International, later purchased by Hilton, known
as the Las Vegas Hilton. It's now the West Gate.
And what did you do?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Pee?
Speaker 4 (28:58):
He brought in Babs and Elvis. Paper might not come
for the gambling, but they'll come for streisand in Elvis
that was Kirkriyan. He bought draw He bought the Flamingo.
He bought the MGM, the studio you know, opened the
original MGM Grand Hotel, which became the largest hotel in
the world at the time. That was Bally's when it
sold for six hundred million. He built and owned Bellagio
(29:20):
in New York, New York, Mandola Aid Bay, Luxur, the
ex Caliber, Oh No Luxur and ex Caliber. He was
into cars. He was friends with Leia Kochi. He tried
to buy Chrysler turned down, tried to take over GM.
When that didn't work, he sold his steak, led to
their bankruptcy. Was doing the same with Ford, and he
was known as a normal guy. Drove a Ford Taurus
(29:42):
and a Pontiac Firebird. He loved to play tennis. His
Lindsay Foundation was named after his daughters Linda and Tracy,
and he donated billions of dollars. UCLA got two hundred
million bucks for medical research. Two hundred million went to Armenia.
Another two billion went into the fund after he passed
away in twenty fifteen. Kirk Kirk Korean bro.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
There are many Crekorians in the South Bay, especially many.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Crekorians around town.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Do you think they all know Kirk?
Speaker 3 (30:10):
I think they all claim it right.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Beating out baseball marathon man Anthony Rendon is a great Jamaic.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
What I believe. I saw that graphic the other day.
Troy Gloss has played more games at the Big A
than Anthony Rendon in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Listen, Matt, he's a marathon man. Okay, you don't know
what he did with the Royals.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
No great, I don't a.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Great Jamaican musician who I enjoy celebrating.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
It is Jamaican news.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
It's Jamaica newszig.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
I'll let this guy tell a story a little bit
on his intro of this song. But Monte Alexander, if
you like music, is always great to look into because
it's not reggae music. It's he's a jazz artist, but
he is Jamaican eighty one, born in Kingston. Discovered the
piano at four and had a knack for melodies. He
studied music at Jamaica College, and in college he started
(31:14):
playing clubs and at seventeen he moved to Miami. So
listen to him intro this song, and then we'll get
into a little bit more of his story.
Speaker 9 (31:22):
You see, this represents my a journey as a person.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
As a musician.
Speaker 9 (31:29):
I was born in Kingston, and I came to America
in nineteen sixty two, sixty one, sixty two, and I
started playing in all the clubs in Miami, Florida, and
then about a year after that, I was playing in
New York. I was playing in Harlem, which to me
is the great center of the best music that came
(31:50):
out of America, some of the best, especially because that's
where Duke Kennington composed and ring as the maestro. So
it's my privileged as a Jamaica and American to produce
music that comes from both places that I love. Thank
you very much for being here. I'm known to play
(32:10):
a song I compose.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Tonight.
Speaker 9 (32:14):
I'm gonna call this Sweet Jamaica.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
In Miami, Frank Sinatra's bff, Jilly Rizzo, and Sinatra were
at a club to see in a Sinatra impersonator. In
the next room, Monte Alexander was playing. Sinatra and Jilly
went over and were impressed. Took him to New York
to play at Chilly's, where he supported Sinatra, became friends
(32:47):
with Miles Davis. They went to boxing matches together and
basically the whole jazz world opened up to him. He
made his first album at the age of twenty and
nineteen sixty four in Los Angeles, called Ali Xander.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
The Great.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Famous performances in Montreux matt in nineteen seventy six with
a group and it's called montrou Alexander. You can watch
all of those. I always love the album he made
with Ernest Wranglin, who is a guitarist from Jamaica, excellent
album with a lot of old Jamaican hits. A prolific
(33:27):
performer who's been playing piano for nine decades and recorded
playing piano.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
In seven at least.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
And in the nineties, I made a reggae band and
did interpative music for a Bob Marley album, did a
Sly and Robbie album. He's married to an American jazz
guitarist who now lives in Manhattan. Well, he was married
to an American jazz guitarist. They broke up and now
(33:58):
he's married to an Italian jazz singer. They live in Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I dig it man.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
He's got a new album out and it's called Appropriately
It came out last year for the eightieth anniversary, but
it's called D Day, which of course is a tribute
to the invasion, the Allied invasion of France. And he
(34:27):
has like a lot of war songs and some compositions
on it of his own. And he's eighty one, I mean,
I mean, he's pretty old eighty one today playing tonight
at Jazz Alley in Seattle. So he was actually born
on D Day and he's going to play tonight in
Seattle on D Day. And if we look look at
(34:48):
his if you look at his concert schedule, let he
goes everywhere London, all over Europe.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Here he's not coming.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
To LA and if he did, we missed it.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
I think he did come and we miss missed it
because I, uh, because.
Speaker 5 (35:06):
I don't deserve to enjoy things. But there he is,
Lte Alexander.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
I like to believe we were just ignorant to it's.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
I think, actually, you know, I think some point I
think I did know, and then I just thought about
myself and all my problems.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
And ignored it.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
And it's not okay.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Just like I didn't go to the Boojio Bontan show
last night, and my friend texted me, dude, you have
no idea how much you would love this, And I
looked at the clock, like he's coming on right now, man,
it's kind of late.
Speaker 4 (35:37):

in effect.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Yeah, we're three fun fact.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Well, did you know the availability of chocolate incredibly low
post World War Two because most of the world's armies
issued rations of chocolate to their soldiers. So to fill
the gap and the craving for the sweet, in nineteen
forty six, Pietrow Ferrero created a spread with tiny amounts
(03:13):
of chocolate and plenty of at the time inexpensive hazelnuts.
The result nutella.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Wow, that's awesome, isn't this great? Nutella?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Kobe Bryant used to endorse nutella.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yes, and they dropped him, they did.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I embarrassingly love nutella and it will and we'll eat
it off a spoon.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
And that guy's keeping in a big vat in your house.
Do you have the vat of nutella where you bathe?
In it like a dirty, dirty dog.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
It's we don't have the giant one, but I routine
I routinely get the standard sized Nutella.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
I'm gonna get you the big one, Matt, so you
can go full American pie.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Can you go generic version nutella? Or does it have
to be Nutella?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
It's so much the telling Utella is so much better.
It's there's something about it. It's not the same. It's
not as creamy. It there's yeah, I've done the Jiff
peanut butter chocolate and no good there. It's got to
be Nutella.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
It's all right?
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Yeah, tele talk, that's good new tell it talk everybody,
all right, p Kobe Bryant, all right, I got the
word of the day.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
His words. The word of the day, Matt.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Today's word of the day is good enough, because this
place has got to be good enough. Now stop me, Matt,
oh ho, stop me, stop me if you think that
you've heard this wonderful. There is a bar in San
(04:49):
Clemente that is completely and totally dedicated to a Goonies motif.
It is called the Lost Inferno, and it literally looks
like the greatest place. I mean, this is what happens
(05:10):
when people like us get to a certain age and
they can afford to open a bar. It is fully
goonied out, it says, journey to the goon docks of
Astoria to discover the Lost Inferno. Embrace your inner reject
and pirate yearn to the finest rum from around the globe.
(05:36):
It's our time down here.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
As you like to office, Oh down here goes up there.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Never say die.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Oh look at this place.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Yes, it's on a north El Camino in San Clemente,
which is not a place that I would recommend outsiders
hang around in a lot as opposed to some other
Orange County beach towns. But how can you keep people
away from the Lost Inferno. It seems like every first
Sunday of the month they do a magic show for
(06:05):
magic Dorks, and that thing is totally totally sold out.
You can't even can't even get in there. But all
the other stuff looks to be really vibrant and cool
and exciting, and they have like a weird like that
fountain thing, I mean, just the motif. I mean, of course, Matt,
(06:26):
you're a huge fan of tiki culture and tiki bars.
Love the tiki t on East Sunset is a favorite
of yours, which is still there.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Still there, still there. I can't stop scrolling through these
photos on yelpeace.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Right, and it's like it's just in one of those weird,
kind of innocuous shopping centers in San Clemente, which is
a weird complex beach town. And with ways and Google Maps,
it's a lot easier to find places like that. They
all up in a new tiki bar in the area
here in Torrance called.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
The Hula Hula Room, and I have not visited that
of course. You know, come on, man, I don't deserve happiness.
Way you go.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Anywhere on that again, But what's a fact today? Anyway,
it looks pretty cool. If you in San Clemente without
your children, or if your kids are over twenty one,
i'd say hit up that rum.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
So it's this way, this is the way it always is.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Yeah, Like it's not like it's a theme because of
the fortieth anniversary of Goonies this year.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
This is no, it's just there. The Lost Inferno.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, I can't get enough of this. This is fantastic.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yeah, and San Clemente, as you mentioned, Matt, when we
were down at Monarch Beach, which is Dana Point, which
is right above San Clemente. You were like, this is
damn near San Diego. Yeah, and you know that you're
even closer if you're at the Lost Inferno. But yeah,
I saw that pop up on Instagram. You know, we
(08:05):
got always the stories about this goonies thing or that
goonies thing, and this guy is doing the house in
a storia to make it look like it did in
the movies, and the neighbors hate it and all these
different stories. This one's a little closer to home for
your goony types to go down and enjoy yourself. The
Chester copper pot drink. It's like it's in that copper
(08:28):
mug with the not since last month, Matt, when the Trader,
when I discovered the Trader Vick's glass wire is on sale.
Have I been this excited about the tiki bar motif?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Did you ever buy any of that stuff? By the way,
did you?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
No, don't deserve it, idiot.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Here's your number of the day. Here's my number of
the day. As an audio component, it is seventy five
seventy five seconds all right left. In Game one of
the NBA Finals, Pacers have erased nearly erased to fourteen
point deficit when it was ninety six eighty two in
(09:10):
the fourth quarter with nine minutes left. They currently trail
by three a minute fifteen left. They're gonna do it again,
just like they did it to Giannis and the Bucks,
to Donovan Mitchell and the Cavs, to Jalen Brunson in
the Knicks. Every single round, this resilient team has overcome
a huge hole late in the game to gut out
(09:31):
a win in the most dramatic of fashions. Tyres Halliburton,
we know what he's capable of anything late in the game.
It is must watch TV, especially if you're in the
state of Indiana. Maybe it's not Indianapolis, but even the
far reaches like Fort Wayne are cheering on their Pacers.
(09:55):
And ABC Channel sixteen, ten fifty nine pm, seventy five
seconds left in the game. Chime time check ten fifty
nine seconds. PACER's chasing their first ever NBA championship. But

at a Hollywood Bull show. He's like, yeah, John, John
Mayer's like invited, ready to come out to the next
show backstage. So yeah, I would say, Freddie Freeman definitely
likes John Mayer's music.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Don't you think the Dead show with Mayor's gonna freak
Freddy out?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Matt?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I think it would absolutely freak Freddy out.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Okay, just like a just be like a Mayor David
Vasse slow dance show.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Yeah, let's make out in the box.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
I started to think gravity to Freddie while he was
doing his infield work with Chris Woodwork.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
How did he did he how did he feel about that?
Speaker 7 (16:18):
He laughed?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Good one.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Dave, shut up, Dave, Hey, since you're in Saint Louis, Dave,
what about all those Nolan Arenado trade rumors?
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Huh yeah, I mean we'll see, We'll see how Nolan
does in this series. But he's sitting sixth in the
Cardinals lineup now, and he's sitting two twenty five, So
I know that's the cachet name. It would have been
great if they could if Nolan would have found his
way to La five years ago. But thirty five years
old hitting two twenty five in a very sad city
(16:51):
of Saint Louis is not. What's the recipe for the Dodgers?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I mean, get him, David.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
I saw this analogy on on social media. It's like
hooking up with your ex high school crush, but now
she's she's divorced with four kids.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
That's Nolan, Aaron out or the Dodgers.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
Yeah, that's a great analogy.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Great Wizards sleeving or not.
Speaker 7 (17:14):
No, Dave, Hey, By the way, guys, I just want
to set the scene for you. There's a lot of
Japanese media on the field right now in anticipation of
Otani moving up his weekly live batting practice session to
today because tomorrow there's a lot of rain and it's
a day game Sunday, same thing. So uh, the Japanese
(17:37):
media has been peppering the peppering me with questions about
whether or not Otani is going to throw a live VP.
I was on the same bus from the hotel to
Bush Stadium with Otani, maybe a little earlier than he
usually is, so they may be onto something. But I
just wanted to show you that because they are breathing
out of my tech as we speak.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Before we look too far forward, let's just look back
really quick. How big was that win yesterday for this
team's confidence as you traveled with them to Saint Louis.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Just huge, Petros because the Mets I really outplayed the
Dodgers for those four games, and their starting pitchers really
gave them fits. The Dodgers only scored in two innings
in out of twenty six innings the starters pitch for
the Mets. So to get to read Garrett and the
Mets bullpen not just once but twice in that series
(18:29):
is really the identity of this Dodger offense going back
the last ten years, they wear the starter down and
usually take advantage of when he's out of the game. Now,
allowing David Peterson to do a number on them for
seven innings is not usually the script. But they are
able to get out there for the eighth inning and
score some runs. And like I've said a few million
(18:51):
times before, this Dodger offense is never out of games,
and for them to have the last at bat at
home is huge. It's the difference between and losing games.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Dave heard your voice on the post game yesterday as
you were talking to Mookie Betts. Well, were you able
to kind of get from him? How bad is the toe?
Should we be concerned about the toe? It certainly didn't
look like it bothered him much.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
No, it's not an issue anymore. The way he was
moving around, it doesn't even seem like anybody's thinking about it.
I mean, Austin Barnes last year broke his big toe
twice and he's a catcher. It was bloody, bruised and
broken and he was able to play. So if he's
able to do that, you know, the second to last
(19:35):
toe on Mookie's foot should definitely be able to cooperate
with him. And I'm not sure if you guys heard
this yesterday, but Tony Gonflin broke one of the toes
on Francisco Lindor's foot, hitting him with a slider the
first st at out of the third game. So two
shortstops with broken toes. And our guy Max Munsey's out
(19:57):
here with his fancy new eyeglasses, his fancy new love,
and he's got a wine event on June twelfth. You
might want to tap into that.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Sounds like a great idea. I'll drink the swill bucket
David Vassain.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
Brobert for a cons on June twelfth. You got to
check it out.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
All right, we'll plug that, but you know we need
to plug First Davis service Titan because they're great at
what they do. Southern California commercial and residential contractors using
service Titan software typically see a seventeen percent increase in
revenue in their first two years.

Speaker 5 (20:30):
How big of a story is Edmund or is it
being back in Saint Louis or is it not a
story anymore? Because Otani's gonna throw.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Maybe well, Jim Hayes is out here. He's the dean
of the Cardinals media. He's already hovering around the Dodgers dugout,
waiting for Tommy Edmund, who became a world champion with
the Dodgers when the Cardinals made one of the worst
traits at the deadline last year.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Tommy Edmund a champion and a big reason why the
Dodgers were able to end their full season World Series
drought since nineteen eighty eight. He'll be center stage day,
but also Tanner Scott would assume you had another conversation
with him after these last couple outings and how dominant
he's been mowing through that Mets lineup with Soto, Alonso
(21:13):
and Nimo the first time and then getting out of
the night with just a single single this last time out.
Kind of what have you taken away from what he
said and whether or not he's maybe found something here.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
It just seemed like before the game talking to him yesterday,
his mindset was a lot different Matt, a lot more focused,
a lot more aggressive. The way he pitched yesterday, I
think you saw that, and I really do believe we
could get into pitching mechanics and all that. That's something
for the pitching coaches. But for him to strike out
Soto and Alonso on the top of the tenth inning
(21:47):
in that second game to give the Dodgers an opportunity
to win it on Freddy's walk off double, to me,
that was huge for his psyche. And just talking to
him before the game yesterday, he was fired up, and
I'm taking whole credit.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Oh, come on, Dave.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
Well, I mean that you've got to be able to uh,
to remind guys that you know, this is not just
you know, in a vacuum. There are people that care,
there are expectations, and you know, I just think Tanner
Scott had enough just about the way he was pitching.
Obviously there were some mechanical adjustments, but whatever he did,
(22:26):
it worked, and his confidence just went through the roof
after striking out Soda and Alonzo. I've got to build
upon that.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Matt's taking some credit as well for some harsh words
from this.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Sometimes you got to be honest.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
You know, I didn't hear anybody rap I didn't hear
anybody of roast Matt when he got on the team
plane yesterday. As I was walking through the coaches section.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Oh you got ras, Dave, Oh, I got roasted.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
It was like when I jumped on the plane prior
started getting the whole coaches riled up as I was
walking through their fancy first class section.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
O what they say like enemy in the ranks or what?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (23:04):
There he is start it up? Hey. I was like, Hey,
you're welcome, all of you.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Yeah, they wear it, Dave. Speaking of reminding somebody of something.
What's going on with the Dodger connection tonight in the Bronx.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
Oh yeah, Walker freaking Bueler pitching at Yankee Stadium tonight
for the Red Sox, first time. Buehler is back at
Yankee Stadium since Game five of the World Series, when
he closed out the World Championship win for the Dodgers.
Let's see if he breaks off a curveball to Austin Wells,
and let's see if Wells has the guts to give
(23:40):
him the peace sign like he did after he struck
him out last year. Bueller's going to shove tonight at
Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
If he does, Dave, if he does rally around the family,
does a passing piece about Walker Buehler. If the Red
Sox continue to struggle or find themselves out of the race.
Does that ever move the needle with the team? Does
anybody talk to you about something like that?
Speaker 7 (24:04):
No, you know, as we get closer to July, Guy
July thirty, first, guys will ask me, Hey, what do
you think? Who do you think we're gonna get? What
do you think? What do you think we need? So
that's the kind of talk we get. But honestly, guys,
last week, in between the Tanner Scott stuff, I had
talked about if the dysfunctional Red Sox continue to flounder,
(24:27):
the signing of Walker Bueller was brilliant because if they
made the playoffs, they had a great playoff pitcher. If
they didn't make the playoffs, they had a great trade
chip in Buehler, who's on a one year contract, so
it makes sense his name is out there. I would
love to see him back with the Dodgers. I also
believe that the Braves are going to continue to be
(24:48):
dysfunctional and flounder as well like they did yesterday. Chris
Sale is another one of those type of pitchers that
you would love to have in the postseason. And the
guy tonight you asked me about, Nolan Aronado. The guy
that fits the Dodgers the best on the Cardinals is
Ryan Helsley, their closer. He's gonna be very much in
demand if the Cardinals fall out of the Central or
(25:09):
Wildcard race. Between now in July thirty.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
First fabulous information from David Vase. Nolan Aeronato is his
pregame guest. We're only guessing that though Matt made that
a awesome Yes, Max Monsey, Max Munsey, the pregame.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Guest, what's he done lately?
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Not the one that's up in the Walmart, the real one,
the great David Vassa. You gonna have a great night.
Brought to you by Service Titan. We appreciate you, Dave,
have a good one, Max Munsey, Marongo Casino, Dodgers on

a man who helped develop Las Vegas, and one of,
if not the most famous Armenian American ever.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Bro not Mo Green.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Not Mo Green is shine away from the public eye
his whole life.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
But did you know.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
On this June the sixth, his birthday, that Kirk Krekorian,
who would have been one hundred and eight to day
corn and Fresno, was a pilot had a contribution to
World War Two that was not storming the beach in
Normandy eighty one years ago today, but incredibly important to
(27:12):
the Allied cause. He flew planes from Canada for the
British Royal Air Force, an incredibly dangerous job. One in
forty flights would not make it, but he took it
on like a champion. He learned that the British Royal
Air Force was ferrying Canadian built to Haveland mosquitos over
the North Atlantic to Scotland. Not easy because the mosquito's
(27:32):
fuel tank only carried fourteen hundred miles worth of fuel.
The trip was twenty two hundred miles. Now he's safer,
but considerably longer. With all the stops Montreal, Labrador, Greenland,
Iceland Scotland route would take forever. Or if you had
big enough balls, you would take what they called the
(27:53):
Iceland wave, which if you caught it just right, blew
the planes at jet speed to Europe. But it wasn't constant.
He might have to ditch your plane. But kirkory And
said f that, I'm an Iceland Wave guy. And in
two and a half years with the RAF Ferry Command
he delivered thirty three planes, logged thousands of hours and
helped the Allies win the war. Saved most of his money.
(28:16):
When he got out, started flying, bought a Cessna, hung
out in Vegas, spent a lot of time there and
realized hole in the market. I'm going to run a
shuttle trans International Airlines between La and Vegas for these
rich guys that like gambling. Bought it for sixty grand,
sold it twenty years later for one hundred and four
million dollars. Bought eighty acres in Vegas across the street
(28:39):
from them a Flamingo for nine hundred and sixty thousand dollars.
Almost immediately Caesars asked if they could build on it
and paid him nine million dollars one year later for
the land. In sixty seven, he built the largest hotel
in the world, the International, later purchased by Hilton, known
as the Las Vegas Hilton. It's now the West Gate.
And what did you do?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Pee?
Speaker 4 (28:58):
He brought in Babs and Elvis. Paper might not come
for the gambling, but they'll come for streisand in Elvis
that was Kirkriyan. He bought draw He bought the Flamingo.
He bought the MGM, the studio you know, opened the
original MGM Grand Hotel, which became the largest hotel in
the world at the time. That was Bally's when it
sold for six hundred million. He built and owned Bellagio
(29:20):
in New York, New York, Mandola Aid Bay, Luxur, the
ex Caliber, Oh No Luxur and ex Caliber. He was
into cars. He was friends with Leia Kochi. He tried
to buy Chrysler turned down, tried to take over GM.
When that didn't work, he sold his steak, led to
their bankruptcy. Was doing the same with Ford, and he
was known as a normal guy. Drove a Ford Taurus
(29:42):
and a Pontiac Firebird. He loved to play tennis. His
Lindsay Foundation was named after his daughters Linda and Tracy,
and he donated billions of dollars. UCLA got two hundred
million bucks for medical research. Two hundred million went to Armenia.
Another two billion went into the fund after he passed
away in twenty fifteen. Kirk Kirk Korean bro.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
There are many Crekorians in the South Bay, especially many.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Crekorians around town.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Do you think they all know Kirk?
Speaker 3 (30:10):
I think they all claim it right.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Beating out baseball marathon man Anthony Rendon is a great Jamaic.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
What I believe. I saw that graphic the other day.
Troy Gloss has played more games at the Big A
than Anthony Rendon in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Listen, Matt, he's a marathon man. Okay, you don't know
what he did with the Royals.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
No great, I don't a.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Great Jamaican musician who I enjoy celebrating.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
It is Jamaican news.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
It's Jamaica newszig.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
I'll let this guy tell a story a little bit
on his intro of this song. But Monte Alexander, if
you like music, is always great to look into because
it's not reggae music. It's he's a jazz artist, but
he is Jamaican eighty one, born in Kingston. Discovered the
piano at four and had a knack for melodies. He
studied music at Jamaica College, and in college he started
(31:14):
playing clubs and at seventeen he moved to Miami. So
listen to him intro this song, and then we'll get
into a little bit more of his story.
Speaker 9 (31:22):
You see, this represents my a journey as a person.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
As a musician.
Speaker 9 (31:29):
I was born in Kingston, and I came to America
in nineteen sixty two, sixty one, sixty two, and I
started playing in all the clubs in Miami, Florida, and
then about a year after that, I was playing in
New York. I was playing in Harlem, which to me
is the great center of the best music that came
(31:50):
out of America, some of the best, especially because that's
where Duke Kennington composed and ring as the maestro. So
it's my privileged as a Jamaica and American to produce
music that comes from both places that I love. Thank
you very much for being here. I'm known to play
(32:10):
a song I compose.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Tonight.
Speaker 9 (32:14):
I'm gonna call this Sweet Jamaica.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
In Miami, Frank Sinatra's bff, Jilly Rizzo, and Sinatra were
at a club to see in a Sinatra impersonator. In
the next room, Monte Alexander was playing. Sinatra and Jilly
went over and were impressed. Took him to New York
to play at Chilly's, where he supported Sinatra, became friends
(32:47):
with Miles Davis. They went to boxing matches together and
basically the whole jazz world opened up to him. He
made his first album at the age of twenty and
nineteen sixty four in Los Angeles, called Ali Xander.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
The Great.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Famous performances in Montreux matt in nineteen seventy six with
a group and it's called montrou Alexander. You can watch
all of those. I always love the album he made
with Ernest Wranglin, who is a guitarist from Jamaica, excellent
album with a lot of old Jamaican hits. A prolific
(33:27):
performer who's been playing piano for nine decades and recorded
playing piano.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
In seven at least.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
And in the nineties, I made a reggae band and
did interpative music for a Bob Marley album, did a
Sly and Robbie album. He's married to an American jazz
guitarist who now lives in Manhattan. Well, he was married
to an American jazz guitarist. They broke up and now
(33:58):
he's married to an Italian jazz singer. They live in Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I dig it man.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
He's got a new album out and it's called Appropriately
It came out last year for the eightieth anniversary, but
it's called D Day, which of course is a tribute
to the invasion, the Allied invasion of France. And he
(34:27):
has like a lot of war songs and some compositions
on it of his own. And he's eighty one, I mean,
I mean, he's pretty old eighty one today playing tonight
at Jazz Alley in Seattle. So he was actually born
on D Day and he's going to play tonight in
Seattle on D Day. And if we look look at
(34:48):
his if you look at his concert schedule, let he
goes everywhere London, all over Europe.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Here he's not coming.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
To LA and if he did, we missed it.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
I think he did come and we miss missed it
because I, uh, because.
Speaker 5 (35:06):
I don't deserve to enjoy things. But there he is,
Lte Alexander.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
I like to believe we were just ignorant to it's.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
I think, actually, you know, I think some point I
think I did know, and then I just thought about
myself and all my problems.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
And ignored it.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
And it's not okay.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Just like I didn't go to the Boojio Bontan show
last night, and my friend texted me, dude, you have
no idea how much you would love this, And I
looked at the clock, like he's coming on right now, man,
it's kind of late.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Yeah, we'll be back on Monday.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Have a great weekend, everybody, and be saved.
