To beat my personal weather.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Vein Blackmore's got to set the schedule, my man, I
gotta figure this thing out. I gotta crack this nut.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Thank you for listening, everybody.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
It's been a fun day, and we because it's so short,
we continue as content with the final hour.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Fun fact, it's effect effect, Yeah, we're three.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
In fact, Kate's was too busy looking out into the sky.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Based on the landmarks. Remember remember it was not just
Rocky when he ran the streets of Philly, it was
also Rocky two after he was kind of like, you know, oh.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I thought you're gonna say, it wasn't just Rocky. It's
like Rocky and a thousand children.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
So that's exactly right. Based on the landmarks of the
training scene of Rocky two. Rocky ran thirty point six
miles before jumping around with a bunch of kids at
the top of the stairs at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, that's one of those things where you're like, you know,
watching something in a city at LA and you're like,
they just went from the one ten to the now
suddenly on the one.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, yeah, it happens, it heard Kim Rell.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I don't think you'd been able to hurdle those benches
at that at mile to thirty, you know what I'm
saying exactly. He'd probably be prettiest.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
And those kids would all be dead.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Well, yeah, how far did they go? Right? Yeah, that's
a real death. March joined him in mile three. Gone.
That's terrible. It's terrible.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
That is just horrible. But is it as bad as
the Burdbank butt Sniffer. I don't think the word of
the day nobody knows more about the Burdbank butt sniffer
than our own Burdbank correspondent, Tim Kate's. But the truth
is there is a registered sex offender who sniffs butts
(03:35):
in Burbank, and he has been apprehended again for his
butt sniffing ways. It's not good. It's a terrible story, Matt,
and I think Kate's himself is quite embarrassed. Uh but
this guy's been arrested multiple times for sniff and women's
rear ends while in public. Uh Caalise Karen Crowder, thirty eight,
(04:02):
was arrested Tuesday by one of Tim Kate's relatives in
the Burbank Police Department at the Walmart for sniff and butts.
They originally responded to a nearby Nordstrom Rack call the
Big Rack at the same shopping center for a suspicious
(04:24):
man loitering in the women's department to sniff ass. When
the officers arrived on the scene, they were informed that
the guy laughed, but he was located at the Walmart
sniffing butts. He's moved across various departments sniffing butts inappropriately,
sniffing many butts. They confronted him and detained him. He
(04:50):
made national headlines two years ago committing the same act
on a woman at the Barnes and Noble, where Tim
Kates is often seen and people love to fart at
the b bookstore.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Let's be on it.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
We know one person wants to bookstore. I get right,
he was alone.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I love books. I didn't know that was alone. I
didn't know she was in the stacks. Oh my, I
should have never told that story. He keeps coming back
to bite me. Oh oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Anyway, he was released from crustody in twenty twenty three
because of jail overcrowding.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
But now he's back to sniff and ass again.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, he's gonna make my way over here to teen fiction.
It's early in the morning. There's nobody here. Oh, maybe
we keep this guy in jail a little longer for
sniffing butt.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
He has a lengthy criminal record that includes convictions for burglary, robbery,
and indecent exposure and sniff and butt sniffing, butt sniffer,
and he only sniffs that now going.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Apparently he liked to go and really get into a
crouching position.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Yeah, he really likes to win. Well, you know, I mean,
if you're gonna be a butt sniffer, you might as
well commit. You gotta take it all the way.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It's all the knee's gonna be a waste sniffer. You're
not gonna be a wastebender. You're gonna have to get
into a crouch.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
He looks like a guy that I played football with.
So when somebody first said it to me, I was like,
oh my god, So and So got arrested. I was like, no, no, no,
that's the Burbank butt sniffer. But I'm happy to know that.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
All right, it's time for the number of the day.
Here's my number number of the day, forty five.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yes. Is it a frat guy celebration, Of course it is,
But I don't care. I love Caddy Shack. It's one
of my all time favorite films. I still laugh at
the ridiculous humor, the brilliant one liners, the fact the
entire interaction inside Carl's shed after Tye hits a wayward
shot between Bill Murray and Chevy Chase is one hundred
percent improvised and brilliant. Ted Knight genius, the film's villain
(07:00):
into perfection, Michael O'Keeffe putting together one of the all
time great opposite ends of the spectrum two picture streaks
in Hollywood history as Ben Meacham, son of the great
Santini and seventy nine and just eight months later has
beloved Looper Danny Noonan in nineteen eighty Oh.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Not sense, not sense, Midsummer Night's Dream Man, Romeo and
Juliet coming out of the same year as there been
such a contrast.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Five hundred years, five hundred years of separation.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
That's right, forty fifth anniversary today, And this might be
even though we feel like every of Caddyshack today, forty
five years ago today it came out. We have heard
seemingly all of the nuggets surrounding the making of the
brilliant cinematic masterpiece. This one I had never heard before.
It was Rodney Dangerfield's first real role. He had a
(07:47):
few lines in some films before, but he was just,
you know, a stand up guy. They said. He took
the role seriously. He was a natural obviously as al Cervik,
and because of all of his improv what was supposed
to just be a couple cameos and a line or
two at the start, Harold Ramis built into a much
bigger character. Dangerfield was so good that he changed the
(08:12):
ending of the film. It was supposed to end with
Tye and Lacy Underall walking off into the sunset, followed
by Danny getting onto a plane to head to college
after winning all that money only to flirt with a
hot chick and hop on a plane with her headed
to Jamaica. But because Rodney Dangerfield dropped this line that
(08:34):
was not in the script, Ramis was like, effett roll
the credits.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Hey, everybody, we're all gonna get late.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
The crowd of people was not coached to cheer. The
line was not in the script. The cameras were rolling.
He yelled it out. Everybody screamed, and Raymis was like,
that's it. It's ridiculous. I don't even know what it means.
But that's the end of the film.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Hey, everybody, we're all gonna get late.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
I'm I'm gonna make another cocktail speech. You know, there's
the time people made movies. Okay, Yeah, there's a time
when making movies is fun and you can do inappropriate
things like have some judges daughters, boobies bobbling around in
the bedrooms, right, you know? And now what do we have,
(09:29):
Matt crap slop your tribute.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
HOLDO for myself is tribute? Hell? I take game?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I take uh what hunger games? Over what we have now,
which is nothing. Nobody makes good movies anymore. Everything sucks.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
We're all getting laid where you know, where's the joy?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Where's the joy? Matt, where's the jokes? You know? I'm
not gonna take it anymore?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Thanks for nothing, Donny.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
All right, Ronnie, this is the song of the day.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Quilt is the name of a three piece band out
of Boston with our song of the day called Tie
Up the Tides because a frog Man Friday is where
we are on the Petros and Money Show, tying Up
the Tides on a super Flex alert with Dodger Baseball

Speaker 4 (11:57):
After his twenty four thousand stats on the Freedom Trail
yesterday and a visit to an Irish pub, David Vassa
is back in action tonight with Morongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck,
Dodger Clubhouse and Dodger Talk. Dodgers in Boston, Trade deadline looming,
the story of the day, the guest. Everybody wants to
(12:19):
talk to newsmaker David Vasse.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
The Home of the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
With an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the
vass Report with David Vasse.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Not since Alexander Rumbolton has there been such a man
of character in Boston, Massachusetts. David Vassa at the real
underscore dv MLB network, Spectrum Sports in at La and
our reporter right here working radio this week on the
road trip, and we are grateful. How's it going out
there in Boston, Dave, what's popping?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (12:54):
It's so hot and steamy. Ken Rosenthal has already called
me out as being a soft West Coast guy when
I said it was steamy out here in Boston. Rosenthal
really just let me wear it right now. But there
was a pop up rain shower because it was so
hot and humid. But the sun has come out. We
will have baseball on time. And Tyler Glasnew and Dalton
(13:15):
Rushing just walked by me. He's gonna throw a bullpen session.
Had a chance to already see a world series hero
Walker Bueller, who came out early and was surprised that
I was still working with the Dodgers. I could let
you guys in on this now, because when Bueller was
getting closer to free agency and he felt like he
was going to be signing a long term deal with
(13:37):
the Dodgers, he told me when he resigned his deal
with the Dodgers, he would put in his contract that
I would have to be out as Dodgers reporter, but
you know he signed with the Red Sox and here
I am.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Well, you've outlasted more than one of those guys. You know,
Hanley Ramirez comes to mind.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
So many years I've tried to get you out of here, many.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Many have tried and failed to usurp David Vasse from
his throne of Dodger reporting. Dave, how big of a
tail does this road trip tell? This is the last
big East Coast swing, It's the longest road trip of
the year. How much are we going to find out
about the Dodgers in these next you know, seven eight days.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
Yeah, this is a pivotal road trip in more ways
than one, because the Dodgers will be on this road trip,
the last leg of it in Tampa. When that July
thirty first trade deadline hits next Thursday. It's a day
off for the team in Tampa, so the players will
be glued to social media looking for their name. But
(14:43):
as far as the Dodgers go, they already know what
they need. I don't think anything changes on this road trip.
A lot of people are starting to believe because of
the return of Blake Trining and the imminent return of
Bruce tar graderol that the Dodgers may be more in
cline and emphasizing trying to acquire and outfield back, a
(15:04):
right handed outfield bad. And I know Byron Buxton said
he wouldn't waive his no trade clause for the Twins.
His name is still out there, but uh, I don't
know the specific name, but people around the team believed
it could be. And people around the league believe that
the Dodgers may be looking for also and outfield bad.
(15:28):
And also there's the uncertainty of Kei k Hernandez. Right,
we don't know when key k is coming back. He's
a vital right handed back that they don't have right
now and don't know when they're getting back.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
David was something we were talking about a little bit earlier.
And it's going to be cost I mean, you say,
I know he's been hurt, but I mean Byron Buxton
is incredible when he's on the field. What about like
what they're willing to pay. You know, we saw last
year and I just kind of think back to the
deadline when it was Kopek and Edmund and it wasn't
this a guy who's got a five era and someone
(15:59):
who hadn't played all season and they didn't have to
pay that high of a price. Like, where do you
think they are in that category of like what they're
willing to give up and what they want to bring in,
you know, in terms of the tiers of quality of
trade targets.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
Yeah, I mean it's it was out of character for
Andrew Friedman to spend as much as he did on
guys like kenn Or Scott and Kirby Yate. So I
don't know if things have changed, but yes, you're right.
In the past they would not give up an arm
in the leg for a relief pitcher. But there's a
guy that you may not have to give up a
lot for who's a rental at the end of the year,
(16:34):
and that's Ryan Helsley of the Cardinals. So there are
guys out there that are not under team control beyond
this year that could be had, and Helsley is probably
at the top of the list for everybody.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Do the players really act weird around this time, Dave,
especially being on a long road trip when it's happening
like you just detailed, Does it change the demeanor of
the way everybody acts this long of.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
A road trips certainly can bring a team together at
the right time, Petros, because this is where they spend
the most time with each other on the road. On
days off like yesterday, there's great opportunities to go out
for team dinners. Freddie Freeman's a guy that has organized
those dinners. There's another opportunity in Tampa. So really, any
(17:23):
team I've been around, these long extended road trips really
seem to bring guys together. And you know, a lot
of these guys like each other, so that's helpful. But
I've been on I've seen other teams where if you
don't like each other, it goes the opposite way. But
this team likes each other and they go out to
dinners together, led by Freddie, So it's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Let's just say that confordo hits, he hits in Boston,
he hits in Cincinnati. He starts rolling cause, like you said,
you have the deadline coming up right when they're headed
to Tampa Bay on Thursday, a week from yesterday. Does
that change anything?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Dave?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Like, is it too late for him for someone that's
you know, had nearly ninety games of at bats, that
is where he is.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
He's already started to play better the last two weeks
than we've seen the entire year, so he already has
started to show some signs of being a solid player
for this roster. I just don't know, even if they
acquire another outfielder, you know, are they saying goodbye to him?
He may still have a place a function on this team.
I just don't see the Dodgers letting him go. I
(18:33):
just it doesn't seem like the next two weeks or
the next six days are going to change what the
Dodgers do. They still consense this is they still need
a right handed bat and a guy that can play
the outfield, and Conforto, as you know, it's a left
handed bats So I don't believe that changes anything.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
We all have a place in this world.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
David Vasse our guest at the Real Underscore DV on Twitter.
You'll be hearing them all right on a five seventy
LA Sports. He said, the game is going to start
on time, Dodgers versus Boston.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Dave, if you had to predict, if you had.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
To gas and just pure speculation, an educated gas, is
this team gonna look dramatically different by the time they
return home.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
The only the only changes will be an addition or
two and the return of Blake Snell. When the Dodgers
return home, they're going to have Glass Now, Snell, Otani, Kerz, Shag,
all those guys. They're going to have their rotation full
for the first time all year long when they return home.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Last thing, Dave you mentioned you saw Walker Buehler hasn't
certainly been the season that he had hoped up to
this point. Kind of what were his spirits like, kind
of how's he doing out there? How do they like
him in Boston when he's got a you know, an
era that's sniffing six.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
Well, he's pitching Sunday, so we'll get to see that firsthand,
how much they they love him or turn on him.
He's getting better. I talked to Alex Cora about two
hours ago, and he told me that the last handful
of starts have been better for Bueller, and the last
time out he only gave up two runs in Philly,
so I'm sure he's going to be ready for that.
(20:14):
And really his mood was he's the same Bueler, don't
get me wrong, same Bueler, but was certainly happy to
see a lot of people that he hasn't seen a
long time. And my understanding is the Dodgers had some
players come work out yesterday on the off day here
at Fenway, and Bueler stopped by as well, and today
they're going to give him his World Series ring at
(20:35):
some point before the game. So I think today is
that day where he is celebrated. But by the time
Sunday rolls around, he's going to go for the jugular.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
And Dustin May will face him, maybe his last time
on the mound for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Ever, it's maybe, you never know, would be, could be.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
We love you, Dave and have a great time out
in Boston and our best year John.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
I appreciate it. Guys.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
All Right, the Patterson Money Show continues. We'll do the
Dead and a live guy Birthday of the Day as
we continue right here on your Dodger Station, Dodgers in Beantown.

Dodgers on deck, the Dodgers and iconic franchise visiting another
iconic franchise. Who doesn't love an iconic franchise? I'm going
(22:08):
to go with nobody, the people of the Tampa Bay Rays,
that's who.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I think that was a double so I was trying
to figure it out. Are you tricking me with a
double negative? Who doesn't love?
Speaker 4 (22:19):
And I have to say, well, you're right, I'm too
stupid to ask proper questions.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Well that's why I said nobody. You're everybody. If you
said everybody would be me.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
I shouldn't even do this job, too dumb.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
On the third stop of the Petrosen Monday Summer Tour
is Friday, August eighth, three to six from h Q
Gastro Pub and Huntington Beach that's located on Pacific Coast Highway.
I got a text, heated. I got a text today
from mister Binder, the owner of the iconic Philips on Alameda,
(22:54):
an ord, the last bastion of the French dip sandwich
left in downtown Los Angeles. And not only did mister
Bender become inspired by your hot dog box and he
purchased one because of your inspiration, Man, he purchased.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
The man responsible for one of, if not the most
delicious sandwich in all of the Greater Los Angeles area
decided to go with a hot dog steamer.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
A globally iconic sandwich.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Yeah, and it's remarkable.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Married into the Matthew family that controls Philips. Yes, he
bought a game day hot dog steamer buys inspired by you.
The tex says, I had to get one after listening
to you funny guys. I'm gonna try to make it
when you come to Surf City, tell your father to come.
(23:51):
And that is from the great mister Bender, the owner
of Philips.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Well, that would be a big addition to HQs if
we can get mister Bender and your father. Titans, Pillars
of the Petros and money.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Shows, Double dem come to Petros in favor of the
be double Dead with swims. With these super hot and mustard,
it'll blow your face right off Lee's home of the
French Dip Sandwich in La Landmark since nineteen oh eight,
Love Philips.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
We hope to see mister Bender at HQs in a
couple of weeks. But right now, before we get to
the big game, an iconic franchise. Nobody doesn't like Sarah
Lee his time for the dead guy birthday of the day.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Well, let's celebrate someone and who made something something important?
Uh not an inventor of a financial vehicle to purge
and plunder and punt the company to the side after
they secure billions. No, there was a time when our
nation's most brilliant.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
That's what Richard can did in in Pretty Woman. I
remember he dot corompanies and then he broke them up.
Jason Alexander helped him.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Private equity bastards work with their hands that came up
with solutions to current challenges if they made some cash
along the way.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Great.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
And of course, all these men that we tend to
celebrate and ladies, but mostly men served in the armed
forces as a way to give thanks to this fine
nation of ours, and many of their inventions began as
military installments. So happy it would have been one hundred
and sixty eighth to Frank J. Sprague. And if you
have a fear of elevators like Simi fojoco, now does
(25:31):
you are not a fan of Frank's. Born in Milford, Connecticut.
Mother passed when he was just ten, sent to live
with an dad didn't have time for him. Top of
the class, brilliant math student. Thought he was taking the
entr entrance examed A west Point. Wanted to get into
the Army. For all his brilliance, I guess he couldn't
really read the header. Turns out it was for Annapolis.
Got the highest score possible, was admitted, but didn't have
(25:53):
the money to pay, so a local contractor heard about
it loaned him the four thousand dollars he needed. He
tried devels to Maryland. He graduates seventh in his class.
He's commissioned as an ensign in the Navy, serves on
the USS Richmond, the USS Minnesota. He invents and inverted
dynamo and that got him transferred to the crown jewel
of the European Squadron, the USS Lancaster.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Inland.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
The dregs man is Inland, I mean it is far.
That is a landlocked boat.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
So while there he creates hot it is Hot Hot,
creates an electric call bell system, continues to improve on
the dynamo and all of his engine projects. Thomas Edison
gets word of it begs him to resign his commission
to come work for him. He agrees. Edison is trying
to get Sprague to help him solve the incandescent lighting
he was working on, but Sprague's like no man. I
(26:48):
like motors, That's what I do. He did, however, correct
Edison's mistakes on his manes and feeders for central station
electronic distribution. That was a big deal, I guess, and
then took off. He found Sprague Electric Railway and Motor Company,
and all he did was come up with the first
viable electric motor, a constant speed, non sparking, fixed brush
(27:09):
regenerative braking that used the drive motor to send power
back to the main supply. That made it the first
car to maintain constant speed under varying loads, which was huge.
Without that, there is no electric elevator, there is no
electric train. He made the overhead lines for electric streetcars
work his Richmond Virginia Union Passenger Railway, The Gan operation
(27:34):
February of eighteen eighty eight, it was the first successful
large electric streetcar system. Within one year, by eighteen eighty nine,
one hundred and ten electric railways using his equipment were
started across the globe. So he solves that he takes
on vertical transportation electric elevators. At the time, buildings could
(27:55):
only be so big or built so tall because of
the limitations of slow hydraulic power elevators. So in eighteen
ninety two he founds the Sprague Electric Elevator Company, first
installed postal telegraph building in the Big Town, sixteen stories,
one of the tallest in New York. Floor control, electric
button automatic elevator faster could carry heavier lows, and over
(28:16):
the next year he installed six hundred of them. Sold
the technology to the name we all recognize when we
get in elevators now Otis Otis, he loves us, He
loves us Spray.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
It's really the name Sprague.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
It's really Sprague. But Otis bought the technology because he
wanted to do one more thing. He developed the multiple
unit electric railway, meaning more than one car. He figured
out a way to get multiple cars carrying traction motors.
That was the famous l train in Chicago that he
built and developed. Brooklyn and Boston quickly followed. The Paris
Metro used the same technology. It is still called the
(28:54):
Leiram Sprague today, buried at Arlington with full US Navy honors.
Franks break all.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Right, Matt, well, that's pretty impressive. But is it as
impressive as a great Mexican wrestler. I just don't know,
beating out Matt LeBlanc, who did a movie with a monkey,
just like Ronald Reagan. Fifty years old. Today, with Hulk
Hogan's death, we celebrate Mexican wrestling superstar El Zorro, also
(29:30):
known as he sus Christobaud Martinez Rodriguez.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
As you know, Matt, I love Zorro.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Zorro is from Guadalajara, just like Checho Perez five nine
two hundred pounds. Also debuted at seventeen as an en
moscadado named Neurosis.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Neuroupsis.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
In ninety five, that's a hell of a name, yeah,
especially in Spanish. You know what a a that's yes,
but a neurosis. In nineteen ninety five he flipped his
name to Junior, but then his mask was stripped by
Caesar Dantes and hooking up in promo as Teca. He
(30:28):
became Elzorro and he and a wrestler named Tarzan Boy
really took it to the World Tag Team Championship.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Tarzan Boy Matt.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
These wrestling names are unbelievable in Mexico. I love I
love the storylines. He did a man in the Iron
Mask film storyline and book. There's a very very dramatic storylines. Uh.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
He was unmasked in the early.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Aughts and people were shocked to see that he had
like a gnarly beard and long hair, so it was
not as humiliating for him to be unmasked. Apparently it
was Drinkuilo. He had many, many battles. He really got
it cracking as a different personality, La Parque Negra as
(31:23):
the nemesis of the good.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
La Parca.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Even at one point claimed to be a Spaniard and
not a Mexican to piss off all the Mexican fans.
Turn right there, right, like when Hogan went dark, right
and he went nWo or exactly that Kate saw him.
Then Kate saw Hogan in the nWo.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Era. He dubbed him.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
He dubbed himself l Profeta de Lucia Libre, saying that
he was a prophet and predicting things correctly. Most of
his damage was done in triple A wrestling, which I
think is the is the big league Lucha Libre, Triple a.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Worldwide, that's the WWF.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Yeah, and instead of Wrestling Mania, they have Triple Mania.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Give me the triple every time.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Yeah, but I gonna triple I get a triple. So
a great Mexican wrestler to look up. So was Cristaball
Martinez Rodriguez, also known as.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I looked up neurosis instead.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
It's well, it's the same guy.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Oh, I didn't know of the different if he had
like different uh.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Yeah, different person character. Yeah, but you wear the mask, right.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
And then you get unmasked and then you you know,
you reinvent yourself.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
The's something else.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Uh. He even had to cut his hair once. You
know they have those if you lose, you get your
hair cut. I like that Mexican line here, Mexico wrestling
is better than ours, and it's watching it over the
years or studying is from the perspective of the dead
and a life guy birthday the day have proven that
to me over and over again.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
We just don't have these kind of storylines either way.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
The Dodgers versus the Bostonians is coming up next. Tim
kaits with Moroco Casino Dodgers on deck. We'll see if
they can get this road trip started on the right foot.
Have a great weekend, everybody,
